Homeward Bound (2004) is a science fiction, alternate history novel by Harry Turtledove. It is the eighth and final work in his Worldwar series fictional universe. It follows the events of the Colonization trilogy, and gives some closure to the storylines.
Plot introduction[edit]
Homeward Bound begins in 1972, then flashes forward to 1977, 1982, 1984, 1994, 2012, and finally to 2031 when the American starship Admiral Peary arrives at Tau Ceti and Home, the homeworld of The Race.
Explanation of the novel's title[edit]
Homeward Bound has multiple meanings in the book. It is a pun, in that the Race's home planet is called Home, and many characters are headed there. For characters that are members of the Race, such as Ttomalss, Atvar, and Straha, they are headed home after the failed conquest of Earth. For Kassquit, it is her cultural home, although not her biological one. The Earth ship Admiral Peary is headed to Home (the planet), where they will confront the Race and try to demand respect as an independent planet (or at least for the United States).
At the end of the novel, while most of the ship's crew has been in cryogenic sleep and suffered time dilation, they are given the chance to go back to Earth (their home). As each character arrives, they handle their return in the best way they can.
Plot summary[edit]
The Admiral Peary travels at between 0.35 and 0.4 c and took a little over 30 years, instead of 24 (the Race's starship velocities were one-half c), to cross the twelve light years between Earth and Tau Ceti. The ship is named Admiral Peary for its role as a military exploration ship, after Adm. Robert Peary, who did the same in Arctic exploration.
When the Admiral Peary arrives in orbit around Home, the Race's planet in the Tau Ceti system, it causes a crisis in the highest levels of the Race. The Race's Emperor Risson and Fleetlord Atvar (sent back to Home, with the dubious distinction of being the only Fleetlord not to conquer a planet) argue the merits and drawbacks of attempting to destroy mankind by massive nuclear strikes. Meanwhile, Researcher Ttomalss investigates reports of a major breakthrough by human scientists back on Earth.
The Race inadvertently cause themselves a possible ecological disaster similar to what they are causing on Earth with the Race's introduced species into the Earth's ecosystems by letting the humans' caged rats loose on Home. The rats were used for food testing for the Humans.
It comes as a great shock to the Race when a second human starship (the Commodore Perry) arrives in orbit around Home, having traveled the twelve light years in just five weeks. The faster-than-light drive (which appears to be based on the principle of folding space) allows the crew to return to Earth, which is familiar, yet different, from how they left it. Another pun is the ship's captain Nicole Nichols, inspired by Star Trek's Lieutenant Uhura but playing off the actress' real name. The ship is named Commodore Perry for its role in opening up the Race's empire to U.S. access, after Commodore Matthew C. Perry, who did the same with Japan, and the Race are fearful that other human nations will make their way to Home, especially a recovered Germany.
Characters in "Homeward Bound"[edit]
- Sam Yeager - United States Ambassador to the Race and foremost human expert on the Race.
- Jonathan Yeager - Expert on the Race, member of ambassadorial team, son of Sam Yeager, married to Karen Yeager.
- Karen Yeager - Expert on the Race, married to Jonathan Yeager.
- Glen Johnson - A scooter pilot and third highest ranking ship pilot of the Admiral Peary.
- Atvar - Fleetlord of the Race. Was in charge of Conquest Fleet that originally invaded Earth (Tosev 3).
- Ttomalss - Senior Researcher and psychologist of the Race. Foremost expert on the psychology of humans. 'Father' of Kassquit.
- Kassquit - Researcher for the Race, human raised in the manner of the Race, only Tosevite citizen of the Empire.
- 37th Emperor Risson - The current Emperor of the Empire. (Note: Risson is not the 37th Emperor [there have been thousands], but rather the 37th Emperor to bear the name "Risson".)
- The Doctor - An off-screen character whose death causes Sam Yeager to assume the duties of U.S. Ambassador to the Race. (Note: The character is only referred to in the novel as "The Doctor", but is implied to be Henry Kissinger[citation needed])
Major themes[edit]
Diplomacy is a major theme of the novel. The humans spend their time trying to convince the Race that they are not dangerous barbarians. However, this is a mindset that the previously-technologically-superior Race has, and they will not be dissuaded. The Americans are negotiating from a position of weakness, but both sides know that it is only time until that position becomes one of greater strength.
War — a terribly destructive war in which "millions, and probably billions" would die on Earth, Home and possibly also on the Empire's two other worlds — is an ever-present possibility, though none of the negotiators on either side is especially warlike, and they are on quite good terms on the personal level. The Admiral Peary orbits Home, loaded with nuclear missiles which could be launched to rain death and destruction on a world which had not known war for a hundred thousand years. Even The Race's imperial capital, with the Emperor in his palace — a shrine at the centre of The Race's religion as well a centre of government — might be obliterated, as the Emperor explicitly remarks in one scene. Actually using these missiles is clearly not the Americans' preferred option — but it is never ruled out.
On the other hand, representatives of The Race are increasingly driven to the reluctant conclusion that they must launch a war of annihilation against the humans, even though they have only a very doubtful chance of winning — since waiting would reduce their chance of winning to zero. However, such considerations are rendered moot by the arrival of the FTL Commodore Perry, showing the Race that time has already run out for a pre-emptive war against the "Tosevites".
The younger, newly arrived Americans behave with a manifest arrogance of power — not only towards The Race, but even towards their own "obsolete" older countrymen and women of the Admiral Peary. However, representatives of The Race — while embarking on a desperate struggle to catch up and achieve FTL flight for themselves — are able to devise a counter-deterrence even with their existing sub-light ships, coming up with the idea of launching them to hit Earth at half-light speed, causing horrendous damage dwarfing that of nuclear weapons and possibly destroying Earth altogether or rendering it uninhabitable. The threat of so retaliating for a nuclear strike at Home in effect establishes an interstellar version of mutual assured destruction.
Still, the situation remains fragile and precarious at the end — with not only The Race throwing their resources into the effort to achieve FTL flight, but also the other human powers on Earth engaged on a similar effort. Members of The Race are especially worried about Germany, which had managed to recover from the terrible blows its war with The Race during the 1960s, and which — still ruled by the Nazis — would like to get revenge for that destruction. There are also the Soviet Union — still existing in the mid-21st Century and not having undergone Perestroika or Glasnost; Imperial Japan, which still retains its pre-1945 nationalist and militarist ideology, never having undergone a democratising U.S. occupation.
As against such dire threats, there is the hope that FTL would open up so many new planets for colonization as to give full satisfaction to everybody's expansionist inclinations, with no need of destructive wars. This hope is voiced by Human as well as "Lizard" characters. However, the book ends on a deliberately ambiguous note, with both optimistic and pessimistic scenarios fully feasible in the characters' immediate future.

Tough road ahead with deficit
As New Mexico representatives prepare to beg[auth] in the upcoming 60- day legislative session, local lawmakers say they are optimistic about tackling the state's budget deficit.
Senate President Tim Jennings, D-Roswell, says that plugging the between $350 and $450 million budget shortfall will be a "tough road,†but added he is confident that necessary spending cuts won't be impossible to deal with.
"I think we're in good shape, †Jennings said. "We'll have to get there is all, but we'll do it.†Jennings, Roswell's only Democrat representative in the Legislature, also said he is looking forward to serving with the new governor, who other local lawmakers say will bring some noticeable changes to the Roundhouse.
"I would be very surprised if the legislative powers that be return this year with exactly the same at t i tude that they've always had,†said Sen. Rod Adair, R-Roswell , who has opposed previous attempts to fill the deficit by way of broad-based cuts to state agencies. "It's not just the election of the new governor with a new philosophy,†he said. "But that i t 's pretty clear that the mood of the voters, nationally and in New Mexico, is such that the majority (party) can' t simply say we'll just keep doing things the way we've always done.â€
Local House Republicans say they have plenty to be excited about after they added lawmakers to their caucus following the recent elections. "We have tremendous opportunities to make some big changes and we need to grab hold of those opportunities and push (forward) , †said Rep. Dennis Kintigh, Roswell.
"The biggest thing is the change in numbers.†At least one other House member agreed with Kintigh, while also pointing to the fact that Speaker Ben Lujan, Santa Fe, may be in jeopardy of losing his leadership position. "Our current speaker of the House is very heavy handed and very malicious,†said Rep. Candy Spence Ezzell, R-Roswell.
"There are deep fractures in their caucus,†she said. "It's going to be real interesting.â€

Can Ground Coffee Be Stored?
I was just reading some posts on buying green coffee beans. One big issue is storage life of ground coffee. But can we do better than what comes on the grocery shelf? I currently buy plastic "cans" of coffee that appear to be atmospheric pressure sealed. I miss the old days of vaccuum sealed cans. I loved the aroma as the can was pierced!
Having said that, I have a stash of store bought ground coffee. At the rate I drink coffee, I think I have a two year supply, working on 42 month supply. I'm an armegeddon freak!
Why can't I decant my coffee into quart canning jars and gas flush them? Or use an oxygen absorber? I do that with my flour!

|The Following User Says Thank You to Cool Hand For This Useful Post:
I buy ground coffee via mail order, and I order a large supply (at least a year) at a time to save on shipping.
I've never had a problem. Just keep it cool and sealed.

Anything ground is not going to keep as well as if it was left whole. Grinding increases the surface area, which increases exposure to O2. But even left whole, roasted coffee beans don't store terribly well. The easy way is to store unroasted green coffee beans and roast them as you need them. They store very well long term. And roasting them is such a simple process that you can do it over a basic campfire or anything else.
|The Following 19 Users Say Thank You to MikeK For This Useful Post:
I've been working on learning to roast green coffee beans with the specific goal of storing perhaps 20 pounds of such beans as long-term preps.
It's *my* comfort food.
I have a local coffee shop that buys green beans and roasts them; he'll sell me Columbian beans for a very good price, if I buy in bulk. I'll store them in mylar bags w/ O2 absorbers, probably a pound per bag (but that depends on circumstances). I may also store them in smaller bags for the potential of barter.
Roasting the beans has been a bit of a challenge--I've roasted them in a pan on a stove, and in the oven. They smoke! It's an issue. Doing it over a campfire would not have that problem, of course, but I've been able to make it work in a pan.
I roasted some of the Columbian beans today (have a sample), and they turned out pretty well. I talked to my guy at the coffee shop, and he said I didn't quite get them fully roasted. There's a process the beans go through as they roast, something called "first crack" and then "second crack," which are signals as to the progress of the roast.
First crack: Water in the beans flashing to steam, causes the hull of the bean to come off. Second crack is a carmelizing of the bean (if I remember his explanation correctly), and that's what I didn't quite get to.
Still, it was eminently drinkable, after grinding up.
|The Following 6 Users Say Thank You to goose3 For This Useful Post:
BTW depending on the coffee you are roasting, going into second crack might not give the best flavor. You should roast it the way you like it, which means you have to experiment. Most Columbians do well between first and second crack. I normally stop the roast when I hear the first few cracks of second crack because I like coffee that is roasted darker. The problem is that darker roasts can hide some of the lighter, more interesting flavors behind the taste of smoke and charcoal if you roast too dark. Coffee has a tendency to "coast" past the point at which you want it to stop. It's some nonsense about thermal mass.
Anyway, good luck and keep at it.

I've seen people write that they can't taste the difference between coffee they bought last week and coffee they've had in storage for 10 years. To me that is like saying you can't taste the difference between brown rice you bought last week and brown rice you had in storage for 10 years. The oils in brown rice go rancid fairly fast. Similarly, the oils in coffee go rancid. Moreover, there are volatile oils that basically evaporate. Once those aromatic oils are gone, a lot of the flavor goes too.
If you are satisfied with store bought coffee, I wouldn't store more than a year's worth, and I would try to buy it whole bean. Get a decent burr grinder and you're good to go.
But if you want to try a new hobby, going with green coffee beans is great! I really enjoy it, both as a learning pursuit and as a finished product.

I roast mine in a whirly pop, bought 1 unused this weekend at a garage sale for a $1
Also I roast mine in the garage on a single hot plate, picked up a candy thermometer at the thrift store for like a buck. Pour green beans in a 475 degrees and turn whirly pop for 7-11 minutes then 1st crack short time later 2nd crack then pull off and cool quickly. I use a small led flashlight to check bean color. I have fan at end of garage and I used 2 metal colanders to pour them back and forth until cooled.
Also get a conical burr ginders like zassenhaus, I love mine, dont want electrical as it "cuts" the beans and builds up heat as a conical grinder does not.
I would not go back to like "folgers" or any other. Once you have freshly roasted coffee beans all others taste spoiled.
Also let roasted beans sit for 24 hours after roasting for all co2 to excape
After I roast coffee beans and bring them in the house they smell like you could eat them, and ground coffee beans smell like someone just made a pot of coffee!

I just replied to another post( http://www.survivalistboards.com/sho...3&postcount=35 ) with similar questions. To keep it short, I'd advise against storing green coffee in mylar, everything I've learned about coffee in the past several years indicates green coffee needs to breathe.
One of my favorite learning centers for coffee are the forums at www.coffeegeek.com I think I'll post some questions over there in the next day or so to see what sort of responses I can get in regards to long term storage of greens.
My personal experience is that after aprox 2 years, the varietal (regional) characteristics of the coffee tend to diminish. That's not to say the coffee isn't palatable, it is, and it's actually very good when compared to the "Juan Valdez" style of coffee we grew up on... Lets just says it's past the expiration date
|The Following 5 Users Say Thank You to DavidJ For This Useful Post:
Many people say it can't be kept but I opened some recently that I've had stored for little over five years and it was as good as what I bought a few weeks ago.
|The Following 3 Users Say Thank You to rextex For This Useful Post:
Coffee is going to be one of my comfort foods at the BOL. I used to drink a bottomless cup of coffee (at the restaurant) all night long with my friends, when I was younger. Now I can only drink about 3 mugs before my digestion suffers. I was planning on cutting back to 2 for appearance's sake, at the BOL.
But back to the discussion at hand. Whole wheat flour goes rancid because oxygen gets to the oil in the flour. Whole grain wheat stores for decades without treatment. So the trick seems to find a way to keep oxygen away from the oils in products, even vegetable oils. I have a source for dry ice. I've even thought about putting a teaspoon of dry ice in the bottom of a quart jar, filling the jar with coffee, putting the lid on loose, and waiting until the dry ice is vaporised to close the lid down. A friend is concerned about dry ice damaging product.

It may be time to do some experiments with coffee storage. Some green coffee suppliers are experimenting with vacuum sealing for long term storage, but all of them (that I looked at) currently recommend storing in paper or burlap for long term storage. Mikek has been storing in mylar for a while. Do you have any observations that might help? For those interested I found this interesting article on growing your own coffee trees from green coffee beans: Growing Coffee Trees.
Sorry for hijacking the ground coffee storage thread!
|The Following 3 Users Say Thank You to Doc Simonson For This Useful Post:
I've drank coffee that was opened and 10 years old. Perfectly fine. Sealed you'd run out long before it went bad.
|The Following User Says Thank You to goose3 For This Useful Post:
I think the coffee that you buy in a bag already ground or in a plastic container or can is already stale and that is what you are used to. So having it two years later really does not change much. I can tell a difference between a large grind and using a boudum or using a coffee maker and I prefer the first over the later.
DavidJ, you caused me to do some internet searching. I'm confused now, as some of the sites I see recommend storage so the green coffee beans can breathe, but others, like this, advocate for a nitrogen-flushed mylar-storage approach:
Our unroasted coffee beans are packaged in mylar, metallic oxygen-barrier bags, and then nitrogen-flushed to ensure freshness. It has been proven that a nitrogen-flushed environment is the best way to store green coffee beans prior to home coffee roasting.(http://morecoffee.com/search/102474/
and this:
Daterra was the first farm in the world to start with nitrogen-flushing and vacuum packing their green coffee. By now lots of other farms are following suit and many of the best specialty roasters refuse to store coffee in jute sacks. http://coffeecollective.blogspot.com...it-part-3.html
I'm not trying to pick a fight here, just trying to find a way to store coffee for the long term, and O2 absorbers in mylar is analogous to nitrogen flushing.
Any insight you can provide will be appreciated!

unroasted and unground they will keep alot longer and when i visited a coffe plantation in costa rica I was suprised at the low temps cofee will roast at i think depending on the recipy its as low as 150 degree all the way to 300 ish so you could hypotheticaly get whole beans and roast em yourself in your oven
Long Shelf Life
I got a great deal on cans of Folgers about 12 years ago ....... slowly rotating thru them ....... good vac seal and tastes great ......
I buy jars of instant coffee at the dollar store for a $1 ....... great barter item and a hedge against inflation & C A / Africa instability ........
|The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to Illini Warrior For This Useful Post:
Exactly. Unless you were storing 20 years worth of coffee which would require it's own room, you will rotate or use it up before it could ever go bad. And that goes for just about all preps. Speaking of instant. I have a jar in my cabinet that expired in 1999. Still smells fresh as a baby's bottom.

Filling up holes in body, including rust holes
This can be easily done if you have acces to a MIG welder. You grind down all the paint and rust from around and/or in the holes. Then you clamp on a piece of copper to other side of hole(unseen side) You can the proceed to fill in the hole with the gun. Once done just unclamp the piece of copper. It doesnt stick becuase the two metals dont mix or adhere to each other. You can then proceed to grind flat. My uncle found this out when he had to fill in holes on his old army CJ2, full of holes from mounting stuff onto it. Hope this helps somebody.

thanks Mr.56Chevy I will keep this in mind when I am ready to start on my 49 and 51 Chevy trucks they have lots of drilled holes in the running boards from things being mounted to them.
I thought you use bondo with a rag behind it???? :D j/k :D
At my school we have a autobody class. Unfortunately we are taught to bump out the big dents and bondo EVERYTHING else. Some day my truck is going to be done. When it is perfect I want as little bondo on it as possible.
Eastwood sells some flexable copper thingies just for this. Here's a link to it.

Hey 56, I chased you over here from the General area.You said that your bed had a sheet load of holes with no ryhmn or reason to them and they were not all rust. If you have that many, consider having a sheet metal shop bend you up some new bed sides. You said you are going very radiacl, so you can design the turn arounds or the top rails of the bed to be anything. You can even incorperate lights in the ends. If you take your bed totally apart, you will see that it is a simple piece of bent tin. You can make it any length, change the angle of the tailgate, anything!

Ruth Cunningham followed in the footsteps of her uncle Syd Lewer winning the Te Awamutu Pakeke Lions Christmas raffle.
Mrs Cunningham, who became the first Pakeke Lion to ever win the raffle, recalls her uncle winning the raffle 45 years ago.
"I got a phone call from him telling me to come over and help myself - I had three children and my sister had two children, we got all the goodies."
Now, over four decades on, Mrs Cunningham has six great grandchildren, two in Dunedin and four in Hamilton ranging in age from one to three.
"The great grandchildren will benefit from my raffle win, but I'm sure there will be some items left over for some needy children out in the community."
It was not the only win Mrs Cunningham had on the day. She also won a bottle of wine in the Pakeke Lions Club lucky draw.
Working on the old adage that things happens in threes, she was going to buy a Lotto ticket that night to give herself the chance of completing the hat-trick.
President, Jack Forster says Te Awamutu Pakeke Lions are pleased to have again organised a successful Christmas raffle.
"We greatly appreciate all the support we receive from the generous business people of Te Awamutu. Without their generosity, we would struggle to fill the sleigh.
"To all the public who bought so many tickets - thank you."
The majority of the funds raised from the raffle will be distributed to local charitable groups.

Help Me Spread Happiness?Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. ~Helen Keller
[Update 12/20/10] The contest has ended. Please see the results here.
[Update 11/20/10] We've made it into round 2. See my video, behind the scene look, and thoughts on anxiety here. Keep voting until Dec 10, 2010.
So, I did something last night that totally scared me. I applied for the Sam-E Good Mood Blogger job – where the winning Blogger will be paid to blog everyday for 6 months, on being happy.
I need your help.
The competition is in two phases. Phase one is based on total votes from the general public [Vote for me here, no registration. 2 seconds. Read on for why you should vote for me.].
The 20 most voted bloggers move on to phase two, where they'll be submitting a video entry showcasing (in a creative way) why they are the perfect fit for the job. The winning video will be based 20% on phase two votes and 80% on judge scores.
In my three years with TSN, you may have noticed that I've never published a video. Well, that's because I'm terrified of them.
Seeing that the competition already started 12 days ago, and its deadlines conflict with my family's schedule, I wrote it off, silently thinking, "Oh good, I don't have to do the video."
Lying wide-awake, I couldn't sleep. Something in me felt a calling towards this project, like an invisible arm, keeping me awake until I hopped out of bed at 2am and applied.
When I hit the submit button, I felt my heart thumping in my chest. "This is it!", I said to myself. "It's all or nothing. There's no going half way. We're in it to win it!"
And then, two thoughts rushed to the surface of my consciousness:
- "The best way to overcome any fear is to face it despite feelings of insecurities or fear."
- "If you have the desire towards doing something, then the Universe has already equipped you with the tools necessary to see its fruition."
These two thoughts made me feel better. I took a deep calming breath, relaxed and started writing in my journal – of why I wanted to do this, why it was important, and the kind of value I will create for the world if I get the job.
Once the fear finished washing over me and settled away from me, I felt a gush of excitement. I have been running on adrenaline all day, and I can't stop smiling. It just feels right.
Why Vote For Me?
Have you ever felt connected to my writing? Felt that some of it was valuable, tugged at your heart, or inspired you to feel better about life? Getting this jobs mean that I will be publishing heartfelt, motivational and empowering articles every weekday for 6 months straight.
Instead of long waits between articles, you'll get Think Simple Now style inspirational articles in bite-sized (250-500 words) form. Ready and waiting in your inbox or reader before you get to work each morning.
For people who enjoyed my in-depth articles from 2008 and 2009, and wondered why I haven't posted as frequently this year, it is because I am a full-time mom, and the only free time I have to write is when everyone's asleep. This usually translates to all-nighters and a sleepy & cranky Tina the following day.
If I get this job, the pay will help me hire a part-time nanny, so that I have more flexibility to write and be creative without pulling all-nighters. As a result, I will not only be able to produce more uplifting articles, the articles will become better overtime. Writing is like anything else, consistent practice will make you exceptional.
Lastly, my life purpose is to empower, motivate and inspire people to live happy lives. With the exceptions of raising well-balanced children and having a happy family, there is no other goal in my life that is more important to me. In many ways, I feel that this is what I was born to do – to inspire people to be happy through uplifting articles.
By supporting me with daily votes until Dec 10th(Updated on 11/24), you are essentially helping me spread happiness and empowering messages to many more people. You become a part of the "Happiness Team", spreading positive messages – which will have a domino affect in creating positive change in the world (See how important you are?).
Together, we can bring positive messages and hope to thousands of people from around the world.
And all it takes is 2 seconds a day to vote. There is no registration. Just a button to click: "VOTE".
For each unique IP (internet provider), you can cast a new vote everyday (past midnight counts as new day). :)
Here are the types of content I promise to provide on the Good Mood blog if I get the job:
- Daily snippets of inspirational words that are meant to motivate, empower and encourages you to discover the wisdom within you.
- Incredible ideas from the best personal development and spiritual growth books summarized in digestible forms, that serve as daily reminders and are sure to uplift and inspire.
- Daily life lessons I encounter, and related personal stories.
- Tools I am presently using to lift my mood, to stay centered, and to live with greater Joy & Purpose.
- Things that made me happy, and will serve as simple reminders to reflect the Joys in your own life.
- Motivational thoughts and quotes that made me think, along with encouraging words to go with those thoughts.
- Happiness tips.
I'm excited and cannot wait to provide you some of the best daily bit-sized motivational content possible. I can hardly contain myself.
The competition is stiff. Since I had a late start (like really late start – 12 days behind others), I will need all the help I can gather. I cannot do this without you. Are you with me? Can you help me?
If so, can you help me with votes once a day? (Bookmark the link) And if you can share this with your network – family, friends, co-workers, facebook, twitter, etc. I will LOVE you for it (I will love you anyway, but I will be most appreciative for whatever you are willing to provide to help me win this).
The leading applicant has over 4000 votes. My goal is 3000 votes to move into top 20.
If you want to be part of the Happiness Team and want to be reminded to vote daily, you can do the following:
- Signup for the TSN Happiness Team mailing list. I will email daily with a simple reminder, along with a thought that made me happy that day. (Important: click on the confirmation link in signup email to start receiving emails from me)
- Follow TSN on facebook – Daily motivational quotes and happiness links around around the web posted here.
Thank you for making my dream possible, and for helping me to get one step closer to realizing my life purpose. I couldn't do this without you.
Much love to you,
Video Ideas?
Shoot me an email at tina [at] thinksimplenow.com if you have video ideas for a 90 second (possibly viral) video that demonstrate why I would be a good fit as the Good Mood blogger, or if you have experience with video editing. I know literally nothing about video, and am diving in head-first to learn.
This is what I love about life: Constant learning and exposure to new experiences.
And this is what I love about Blogging: Connecting with you, and feeling undeniably human.

Mobile Ed: John Walton Background of the Old Testament Bundle (2 courses)
by Walton, John H.•
Lexham Press 2014–2016
The Old Testament comprises two-thirds of our Bible, but most churches devote less than half of their teaching to the Old Testament. Where does one begin making use of the Old Testament?

Successful students will walk away with an interpretive framework through which they can analyze the Old Testament on its own terms, exegeting and wrestling with the text on a whole new level.

East Providence native Butler among Little East Conference first Hall inductees
PROVIDENCE — Recognized as one of the school and league's all-time greats, East Providence native Alex Butler, representing Rhode Island College, was enshrined among the first-ever class of inductees into Little East Conference Hall of Fame during a ceremony Saturday night, Oct. 27, at the Marriot Hotel.
Butler was part of an 11-member class comprised of five athletic administrators, four former student-athletes and two coaches.
The five athletic administers included Al Bean of University of Southern Maine, John P. Clark of Plymouth State University, Richard Costello of the University of Southern Maine, Dr. William Moore and Charlie Titus of the University of Massachusetts Boston. Bean, Costello and Moore each served as Commissioner of the Little East Conference, while Clark and Titus played an integral role in the formation of the conference.
The four former student-athletes included Butler (1993-1997), Allison Coleman (2000-2004) of Eastern Connecticut State University, Adam DeChristopher (1995-1999) of Plymouth State University and Ashley Marble (2003-2007) of the University of Southern Maine.
One of the most dominant men's basketball players in the New England Division III ranks during his career, Butler was chosen to All-America teams in 1996 and 1997. He was the first Little East men's cager to earn three conference-sponsored major awards during his career, receiving the Player of the Year Award twice (1996, 1997) and Rookie of the Year Award in 1994. In addition to his three first-team All-Little East selections, Butler is just one of three Anchormen to have scored 2,000-career points. He ranks second in program history with 2,398.
Among the other accolades Butler earned while at RIC were the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Robbins Scholar-Athlete honors in 1996 and 1997 and the John E. Hetherman Award as Rhode Island College's top male senior athlete in 1998. In 2011, he was the top-vote getter among the Little East Men's Basketball 25th Anniversary Team members.
During his career, Butler was the biggest impact player in the Little East Conference. Besides being Rookie of the Year in '93-94 and the three first-team All-Conference selections, Butler garnered back-to-back Player of the Year Awards in 1995-96 and 1996-97.
Butler's jersey number, 14, was retired by the Anchormen in 2005. He was a 2003 inductee into RIC's Athletic Hall of Fame.
Butler has been a Physical Education teacher in the East Providence school system since 1999. He currently teaches at Riverside Middle School.
He has been the Townies' head boys' hoops coach since 2005 and head girls' volleyball coach since 2007. Butler also serves as the co-director of the Aim High Basketball Camp, a position he has held since 2000. He also served as an assistant men's basketball coach at RIC from 1998 to 2001.
The son of city residents Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Butler, he resides in East Providence with his wife Kate and their daughter Avery with another child expected just after the New Year.

Serves 2 as a main course
Mussels are very cooperative. You have the luxury of deciding how much or how little you want to do to them. I think they are best when you treat them gently, just using herbs, shallots, and a touch of aquavit as you steam them. Adding cream along with the tarragon and fennel to the cooking liquid produces a rich and velvety sauce.
2 pounds whole fresh mussels, cleaned
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons tarragon vinegar
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 tablespoon aquavit or brandy
1 ounce heavy cream or crème fraîche
Place the mussels under running water. Remove any stringy bits hanging from the shells and throw out any mussels with cracked shells or with shells that do not close properly when they come in contact with the cold water.
Heat the butter in a pot just large enough to hold the mussels. Sauté the shallots and garlic for 4 to 5 minutes on medium heat. Add half the tarragon, the thyme, vinegar, fennel seeds, aquavit, and mussels and cover the pot with a lid. Steam for 6 to 7 minutes on medium-high heat until the mussels have opened.
Transfer the mussels (not the cooking juices) to a large serving bowl. Add the cream to the pot of cooking juices; cook on medium-high heat for 3 minutes until slightly reduced. Season with salt (should not be necessary) and maybe a little more garlic. Pour the cooking juices over the mussels, sprinkle with the rest of the tarragon leaves, and serve.

A Symptom Of The City's War On Businesses
Many locals were titillated by the sight of actual television stars walking around Beach 116 Street last weekend and early this week. There was Skeet Ulrich, formerly of "Jericho," eating at the Last Stop Cafe and John McGinley, formerly of "Scrubs," standing in the rain in front of the firehouse. Everybody was on the lookout for Sherry Stringfield, an early "ER" star. Star-watching was the upside of the television shoot for a new CBS TV pilot entitled, "Back," which took most of the weekend and Monday on the shopping street. The downside was what the three-day shoot did to the business community on the weekend prior to both Easter and Passover. There was virtually no parking allowed on the two-block shopping area from Friday morning to Monday afternoon. More that half of the municipal lot was blocked off for vehicles being utilized by the production company. No parking, no shopping, especially on Monday, when the skies opened up and the rain poured down. One business owner, who counts heavily on the holiday shopping period, lamented that nobody driving by could even tell that her store was open, because it was blocked from street view by two large trucks and an ersatz fire engine. Another, who planned a grand opening event for Saturday that included free pet food given away outside the store, had to cancel completely at the last minute because of the shoot across the street. Storeowners up and down the street complained that they were notified on Thursday afternoon that the street would be closed down on Friday. John Lepore, the president of the local chamber of commerce, said that the city "did a lousy job," in approving the shoot for last weekend and in failing to provide adequate notification. To our mind, the shoot was just another manifestation of the city's lack of interest when it comes to small business. It's as if city officials are saying, "You don't count." It often takes draconian measures to stay in business in this city. Small business owners are regulated, taxed and fined out of business, and nobody at Gracie Mansion seems to care. The television shoot on a busy pre-holiday weekend that shut down many locals seems to be just another symptom of that war.

As some of you know I raced bicycles at the elite level for a long time. One of the guys I raced with a lot in the late 80s and early 90s raced pro for a long time and it looks like he ended up getting into some drugs. Drugs are sure f-ed up.
Truely sad. I wish him the best.

Download a Fresh Copy of The Pirate Bay, With Permission
There are no signs that The Pirate Bay will disappear anytime soon, but pirate preppers anticipating such a doomsday scenario can now download an updated and improved copy of the world's most resilient BitTorrent site. A backup of all crucial data has been packed into a tiny 75 megabyte archive, small enough to carry with you at all times. The archive of more than 2 million magnet links has received a seal of approval from The Pirate Bay team and is now up for grabs.
Despite numerous lawsuits and continuing pressure from the entertainment industries The Pirate Bay is still alive.
However, even if the site was eradicated right now its contents wouldn't be lost. Yesterday a new public copy of all the magnet links hosted on the world's most famous BitTorrent site was made available to the public.
The current TPB copy is an updated and improved version of a similar release last year. This means it includes more than half a million new titles, and it also allows us to see how The Pirate Bay has been developing over time.
The new release comes in two flavors. A 75 megabyte version with titles and magnet links and a larger 631 megabyte one which also includes the comments, descriptions and file sizes. Both archives are stored in an easy to handle XML file.
The Pirate Bay currently indexes a little over 2 million magnet links according to the scraped data. However, nearly one-third of these have no seeders and can't be shared. In fact, only one-quarter of the torrents has more than 4 seeders.
Some will notice that the 2 million figure contradicts the 4.5 million torrents claimed by The Pirate Bay in the footer of the site, but is accurate. The higher number is based on data pulled from TPB's index and public trackers combined.
As we can see below, The Pirate Bay continues to expand with more than 500,000 torrents added during the past 12 months.
Torrent database over time
From a title analysis it further appears that video content is popular. With 184,015 appearances "XviD" is most mentioned, followed by other video related keywords such as HDTV, x264, DVDRip and 720p.
TorrentFreak got in touch with Karel Bílek who created the archives and carried out the data crunching. He tells us that part of his motivation is to ensure that the Pirate Bay's contents remain available in the event something happens to the site.
"Pirate Bay is a great resource of books, movies, music… and it would be a shame if it was brought down," Bílek says.
"The torrents themselves are kind of resilient, but still, you need the basic information about the torrents. So this is an archive of sorts, if the Pirate Bay is brought down, the information from the site can still be used and the site somehow reconstructed."
As a computational linguistics student, the experiment is also a learning exercise for the Czech student.
The Pirate Bay have also given the release their blessing. While TPB is not happy with anti-piracy groups pirating their data for "nefarious" purposes, they don't see a problem with people downloading a copy of the site's index for personal use.

Nepalese cooking is a serious business and nowhere is it taken more to heart than at this excellent, city-centre restaurant. Among the suruwat (starters) are such delights as crab claws with onions, capsicum and fresh herbs, while moukhay khana (main courses) include all kinds of deeply flavoured and richly spiced curries, kebabs and stir-fries. To wash it down, the house Shiva lager was specially commissioned from a local micro-brewery to match the food. As for the decor, it's all very cosy, with pleasant, low-key staff to make you feel right at home. The perfect place, then, to get the ball rolling on a night out in town.

Karl Lagerfeld has been sneering at the recent mini-trend towards
plus average sized women being models in fashion shows and in fashion magazines. (Is size 14 – European sizing – really "plus" size? It looks like a perfectly ordinary size to me – nothing "plus" about it.) According to Lagerfeld, no one wants to see chubby women on the catwalk.
Well, we wouldn't really know, would we, because it hasn't exactly been tried much until very recently. But here's some news for Lagerfeld; plus size models are greeted with cheers when they appear on the catwalk. I think he's just plain wrong.
And Mr Lagerfeld – beware of those sweeping statements. I want to to see average and larger, and slimmer, sized models on the catwalk and in magazines. And I'm sure I'm not the only woman who feels this way.
But perhaps you would like to judge for yourself. Which woman on this cat walk looks fabulous?*
* If you choose to answer this question in comments, could you please do so in positive terms? I will delete any derogatory comments.

Apple has hired Jim Mergard, a chip designer who has worked for AMD and most recently Samsung. Of course Samsung and Apple have a convoluted relationship, with Apple using Samsung as a supplier at the same time each company is suing the other for patent infringement. Any movement of high-level talent between the two is notable.

Samsung's comments suggest the company remains unrepentant. The "monopoly over rectangles with rounded corners" comment is particularly odious.

My point is that Dell manages to do it without any issues, so why can't Samsung? ;)Originally Posted by zoot2boot
think half the reason samsung monitors often have ugly bases is because they do include the extra adjustability of the screen. it's all very well to make a slim little stand if all it's going to be doing is tilting but when it's rotating, tilting, moving up and down, pivoting etc. there's just no getting away from physics. people 'd get cranky if their swish new monitor was falling on its face the whole time.

Rangers' four-game win streak snapped by Oilers, 2-1
NEW YORK – Sure, the Western Conference-worst Oilers have played better lately.
But regular-season game No. 6,000 was still a bad loss for the Rangers, one that left coach Alain Vigneault doing a slow burn over missed defensive assignments and the players bemoaning missed scoring chances in a missed opportunity.
"Tonight's about us," Brad Richards said. "We didn't do enough to win the game. At times we did, but it wasn't consistent. We definitely could have won this game but we have to play at a different level. We missed the net a lot, maybe over-passing sometimes."
Richards was one of the players on the ice as a wide-open Nail Yakupov scored the winner from the slot with 1:38 left in regulation. The shot deflected off Chris Kreider's stick as the Oilers eked out a 2-1 win Thursday night in the Rangers' last game at Madison Square Garden before the Olympic break.
The loosely officiated game – only a lone slashing penalty to the Rangers' Dan Carcillo was called by referees Dan O'Halloran and Chris Lee, nullifying Vigneault's plan to re-insert Ryan Callahan onto the top power-play unit – resulted in the Rangers (31-24-3) having their season-high four-game winning streak snapped.
"There are no easy games in this league and you have to prepare yourself to execute and compete real hard," Vigneault said. "The winning goal was five guys on ice getting beat to loose pucks. Them protecting the puck and finding an open man all alone in the slot. There were five puck battles, we lost them all."
Backup Cam Talbot made 29 saves for the Rangers, who play tonight at Pittsburgh and then not against until Feb. 27 and are 15-6-1 since Dec. 22. Ben Scrivens, who also beat the Rangers, 1-0, on Nov. 17 while with the Kings, stopped 35 shots for the Oilers (20-33-6), who have won five of six.
"Our start wasn't really where it needed to be. … I don't think we were getting pucks deep quite enough," said Callahan, who along with defensemen Ryan McDonagh and Anton Stralman were also on the ice for Yakupov's winner. "I don't think consistently, through 60 minutes, we played the way we needed to."
The Rangers simply did not forecheck well enough or play with enough grit against the fast-skating Oilers to impose their will on the visitors.
"As a team, with a minute-and-a-half left, we've got to have the coverage in our own end and know where their guys are, that's their top line out there," Talbot said. "We can't leave guys alone in the slot like that. As far as my own play, I thought I played pretty well. I gave us a chance to win until the end there and it took a deflection off Kreids' stick to beat us. We probably deserved a point or two tonight."
The Oilers had taken a 1-0 lead at 2:56 of the first period off a Rangers' giveaway in their own zone. Defenseman Kevin Klein, trying to backhand the puck out of the left corner, had his pass go off Brian Boyle's skates and right onto David Perron's stick.
Perron's wrist shot hit Talbot high and bounced over the goalie, landing near the goal line, where Ryan Smyth slammed it into the net.
The Rangers tied the game just 22 seconds into the second period on Derick Brassard's one-timer from the right faceoff circle after the Oilers turned the puck over and Mats Zuccarello fed his linemate from the slot.
Scrivens then got his left toe on Callahan's short-handed breakaway attempt at 11:12 of the second period.

Stimulated by the impressive success of WiFi (due mostly to the use of unlicensed – or open spectrum), the IEEE created a working group to address the requirements of a Wireless Regional Area Network. The challenge was to develop a technology suitable for long distance transmission that could be deployed in different countries (each with quite different spectrum allocations). The IEEE focused on spectrum currently allocated to TV broadcasting which spans approximately 50 to 800 MHz This range of spectrum is not currently used in its entirety all the time, so there are "white spaces", fallow regions that can be re-used for bidirectional communications. In rural areas all over the world, but specially in developing countries, large portions of spectrum are currently under-utilized.
The IEEE802.22 standard is likely to enable dynamic spectrum access in a similar manner that the IEEE802.11 (WiFi) standard did to open spectrum. Of course not all spectrum can be liberated at once; a gradual process is required as the many technical, legal, economic and political hurdles are solved. There is no doubt, however, that IEEE802.22 paves the way to the future of spectrum allocation.
To assess the availability of a given frequency channel at a given time, two methods are being considered: channel sensing and a database of primary users in a given geographic location at a given time.
Channel sensing means that before using a channel, the base stations will listen to the channel first to determine whether it is already in use. If in use, the base station will try another channel and repeat this procedure until a free channel is found. The device will continue to sense at regular intervals to account for the possibility of stations coming alive at any time.
Although this method should be sufficient to detect and avoid spectrum interference, current spectrum holders have successfully lobbied the regulators to force implementation of the second method, which is much more complicated and imposes additional costs in consumer equipment.
The second method establishes an "off limit" zone in a given channel by building a database of the existing transmission stations, including their position and respective coverage area. A new station wishing to transmit must first determine its exact position (so it must have a GPS receiver or other means to find out the geographic location) and then interrogate the database to ascertain that its present location is not in the forbidden zone of the channel it is attempting to use. To interrogate the database, it must have Internet access by some other means (ADSL – Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Loop -, Cable, Satellite, or Cellular), besides the 802.22 radio (which cannot be used until the channel is confirmed as available). This adds an additional burden to the station hardware and translates into additional cost.
The FCC has been promoting the building of a database of registered users of TVWS spectrum and have authorized 10 different private enterprises to build, operate and maintain such repositories. Field trials of TVWS technology are now being conducted in the U.S. and elsewhere.
In the U.K., the telecommunications regulator, OFCOM, is conducting TVWS trials. OFCOM is currently using the database method.
Although IEEE802.22 has received the most publicity, several competing standards to leverage TV white spaces for two-way communication services are currently being explored. These include:
- IEEE802.11af – this amendment builds on the enormous success of IEEE802.11 by adapting the same technology to the frequency bands allocated to TV transmission. This adaptation relieves spectrum crowding in the 2.4 GHz band and offers greater range due to use of lower transmission frequencies. A IEEE802.11 working group is discussing details.
- IEEE802.16h – This amendment of the 802.16 standard was ratified in 2010 and describes the mechanism for implementing the protocol in uncoordinated operation, licensed or license-exempt applications. Although most deployments have been in the 5 GHz band, it can also be applied to the TV bands frequencies and can profit from the significant deployments of WiMAX (Wireless Microwave Access) systems in many countries.

Help with wheel numbers
Hi everyone, i also posted in wheels and tires thread and thought i would ask here as well. so me and the wife bought a new 2012 Cherokee loredo x yesterday and the wife wants nicer rims than the stock rims. I am new to understanding what all the numbers mean when it comes to wheels. So the specs are P265/60R18 and then it says 18x8 aluminum wheels. So she wants to get some chrome wheels that are the same size 18" so we don't have to buy new tires. So from searching there doesn't seem to be many wheels to choose from. Can we put 18x8.5? So not sure if you have enough info on the stock wheels. We have no idea what to get or where to start. Any help would be awesome! Thanks
Re: Help with wheel numbers
Will this wheel work with the stock tires? http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand
Re: Help with wheel numbers
Congratulations on your new Laredo!
If you are already looking at the Tire Rack website, go ahead and give them a call. They are good people to work with and will be able to tell you which wheels fit with which tires and so forth.

sirus radio contract
My free subscription is expiring on 9-25-11, they have quoted me as follows (monthly-14.35) (quarterly 43.05) (1yr 157.83) (2yr 301.32) (3yr 444.81) and finally 699.00 lifetime plus the taxes and other fees...also Sirius traffic link is an additional 3.00 monthly plus tax &other fees...this is my first dealing with this ...what is the right price guys please advise thanks pattyboy:thumbsup: cant believe i own it almost a year
Re: sirus radio contract
I usually do a one year contract. When you sign up, avoid auto renewal as I've heard it is very difficult to cancel your subscription, plenty of customer service complaints.
I don't think the traffic service is worth it, but thats your call.
Re: sirus radio contract
It depends. How often are you planning on keeping your JGC? With the difference between the 1yr plan on the lifetime, you're looking at about a 4.42yr payoff before the lifetime plan starts making sense. If you know you're going to renew every year and you're going to keep it past 4.5 yrs, buy the lifetime subscription. I purchased the lifetime Sirius on my 2009 Dodge Ram (it was 399.99 plus taxes then) and the break even point was about 3.4 yrs at the time. It's also a potential selling point down the road if/when you do sell.
Re: sirus radio contract
there is Different plan levels me for one only really use the music so I renew at the music only plan there is a basic of News and Music. If you want sports channels then the more expensive plans are in that . Looking at those prices it seems it s the most expensive plan they want you to renew at
Re: sirus radio contract
HEMInator Perfect answer. just the response i wanted,thanks pat (also.what dckcentuar mentioned. different plan levels to consider)
Re: sirus radio contract
The Lifetime plan is transferable....thats how the dealer explaned it to me....
Re: sirus radio contract
I paid $370 in March of 2009 for lifetime Sirius Radio (music and sports and including Sirius internet) for my Grand Cherokee.
Re: sirus radio contract
I always wait until it expires and they offer me a a one year service for under $8 a month. I have been doing it for 5+ years now.
Re: sirus radio contract
Just call them right after it expires. They will give you great deal. The last time I did that I was able to get it for $5 a month indefinitely.
Re: sirus radio contract
Yea they have a 77 yr after you expire as I've done reading and received my renewal but will wait until I expire for a better deal..
Re: sirus radio contract
Re: sirus radio contract
I just got my renewal so this is great info to have right now. MY JGC has the 730n RER radio in it.
The plan rates listed are as follows
For the Serious Select package
monthly 12.95
Quarterly 38.85
yearly 142.45
2 year 271.95
3 year 401.45
There is no mention of the traffic portion other than it says to call them
While I do enjoy Sirius I only drive my Jeep less than 5K /year, the rest of the time I ride my bike.
I think I will hold out to see just how good of an offer they can make me.
