Replacing 30 yr old duct... couple questions
On a hot day in Houston my house will barely get below 80 if we are lucky. Among the problems are just flat out old ducts. Besides replacing the ducts, I was thinking about converting my main trunk line to rigid or metal duct, i've heard it flows better.
My question is: How would this throw off the balance of my system? I ask because I've got about 4 lines coming straight off the plenum to various rooms, then a trunk line goes about 25 feet to the other side of my house to the kitchen, formals, breakfast area, and laundry room. Would a more efficient trunk on one side reduce flow on the other side?
Also, the splitters look like they are made from ductboard taped together, I've got 2 splitters with 4 and 5 ducts coming off each one and they leak awfully. What is a good replacement for these? Is aluminum tape appropriate for sealing ducts?
fiber board ducts if un lined release fiberglass into the air and is illegal in13 states the ones that care whats in the air the best install is whats called a reducing plenum depending on the size of the system you start with 12 or 14 inch round ducts insulated with 3 inch wrap every 2 or 3 branch lines you reduce the trunk by 2 inches each branch should be 6 ,7,8 r-8 flex attatched with a sadle collar with volume dampers
this method is the right way it will maintan equal static pressure and volcity and allow you to balance the system perfectly
no flex run should be over 15 feet
every reducer should have a short peice of flex of the smaller size to prevent the reducers from breaking
all of these connections should be made with screws and zip ties silver tape at all insulation seams
Wow you know your stuff. If not ductboard, what would I build the reducer plenums out of?
use pre fab round metel duct its cheaper then square duct and the install is faster less time in that 130+ attic
30 Year Old Duct work sweating...causing drywall issues
The old duct work is sweating in a couple of spots causing drywall issues in a couple of spots on the ceiling. I've been in the attic, extremely tight and access is limited to address the areas giving me headaches, and added insulation in some areas. On the coast in Texas with this humidity causes many problems.
I'm considering replacing all of the metal/'insulated' duct with flex. Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated.
I've heard you should have runs longer than 25', though I was not able to avoid it and my house cools just fine. Have you tried an insulating jacket on your metal duct?
Insulating Jacket
Are you saying that the runs should be 25ft. or longer in this type of climate, does that reduce sweating? The runs are already insulated, but in a couple of places they sweat anyway. More wrap, jacket?? I'd rather not replace all the ductwork if there is a better solution.
I meant to say shouldn't have runs longer than 25', this causes too much resistance in the line to effectively deliver air, or cool air at that. Like I said, it can be done, I did it, its just not recommended if you can avoid it.

Citigroup's Glen Yeung told his clients on Friday that the supply chain is waiting on a signal from Apple on whether to proceed with production of parts for the iWatch. Yeung believes that the decision will be made this month and will be a "go".
Besides the filing for the iWatch trademark in Russia, last month there was some speculation that Apple was testing 1.5 inch OLED displays for the new device. Apple has a lot riding on the device as the company has been accused of losing its ability to bring new innovations to the market. Many point to the three years since the introduction of the first Apple iPad as being a long dry spell for the manufacturer. CEO Tim Cook hinted earlier this year that some new products would be joining the Apple lineup as soon as this fall.

This is insane. Everyday, twice a day they call. Today I picked and immediately asked to be taken off their caller list. After a slight delay of silence, the response was "problem" and they hung up. With all of the screaming about "rights", why can't we hold these a-holes responsible?????
I've answered this phone call and somebody from "yellow us pages" claims that they want to give our business a free top web listing for two months with no obligation, $60.00 per month if we would like to keep it. They ask you to verify the address of your business among other things. When I told them I wasn't authorized to make any decisions regarding marketing, she called back the next day (today) and stated that my boss had authorized me to talk to her. Then she wanted to put me on the phone with a third party verifier so I told her to call me back in 20 minutes so I could talk to my boss first. When she called back I told her that my boss denied ever speaking with her about this supposed authorization. I then informed her that the rest of our conversation was going to be recorded and was that ok with her? She replied "sure" and promptly hung up.
Same here. Just silence and busy when you call back.
Same here. No one on the line. Trying to call it back just gets busy signal.
Caller ID says: Marathon FL.
I've picked up but no one on the other end. Only silence.

Electric Dryer not turning on
Been reading everything I can regarding how a dryer should operate but can't get a brand new dryer to work. The "repairman" indicated that the voltage was too low @ 230V at the outlet. Didn't sound right as the old dryer worked fine. Most posts I have found seem to agree.
The weird part is this:
1) Outlet Voltage is 230V (3 prong) split roughly even across the two hot terminals - this is without the dryer plugged in
2) Plug in the Dryer and I take the Voltage at outlet (or at the back of the dryer) and one terminal is 115V (to neutral) and the other is 5V (to neutral) - This did not occur with the old dryer
3) If I test resistance over the same terminal connection that has low voltage, it also has roughly 6 ohms (disconnected from power)
I am having a really hard time understanding why the voltage drops so much when the dryer is plugged in and NOT powered on. I would understand the voltage pull when the dryer was on but not when not pulling electric and why resistance would be so high when not powered on.
My only answer left is that something is deffective in the dryer but wanted to be more sure before the device is swapped out.
Thanks for any help.
Where are you located ?
You have a loose connection on the terminal that is going down to 5 volts.Check the connection in the receptacle and at the breaker. It could even be the breaker connection to the busbar in the panel.
dryer would not be the source of your problems. are you sure the dryer cord is attached to the proper terminals. did you use a 3 wire or 4 wire cord?

: Supporting vs. enabling
I just read a blog where someone discussed how if she expressed her own opinions she was called a b-, and not being supportive, yet felt she had to say something to friends who were being self-destructive.
It's something I often struggle with. I know we have to figure out our own paths, and if I care about someone I definitely don't want to say something mean. At the same time, if everyone is "supportive" of self-destructive behavior and never says anything, there's no external incentive for someone to try to find a different path. I've also found it's bad for me to be around anyone on a self-destructive path. I don't mean physical self-destruction like drugs and alcohol abuse - but whether it's self-flagellation, or the friend who was fired from two jobs when she spent her work time planning her wedding instead of working, unhealthy paths people make which cause them emotional damage.
Do you tend to just say it like it is, or support and let them figure it out on their own? I had a friend who kept questioning her feelings months prior to her wedding, and I never would have told her to dump the guy, but I gave a more neutral "well, is there a reason you're questioning these things and feeling this way? There may be something you need to answer for yourself there." She did eventually break up with him and I gave a big sigh of relief, but I would have supported her in marrying him if she hadn't figured it out, knowing eventually she'd need someone who cared about her in the divorce...

Fox Evil (2002)
by Minette Walters
No current Talk conversations about this book.
vagabond gypsies on bog in England; suspense
I like Minette Walters for many reasons but an important one is that she begins afresh each time – she does not do sequels. I respect her ability to take a new setting, new characters and a new storyline and create an engrossing tale each time. I appreciate not getting involved in love lives of miserable detectives / forensic pathologists etc. I also appreciate not having to worry that, having plunged into a series on book five, I might have missed important background knowledge. Other people evidently like her work too as she has several awards to her credit. However, I hadn't read anything by her since 'The Shape of Snakes' (published many years back) and approached this with some trepidation, wondering if I was about to change my opinion of a favoured writer.
The premise
Ailsa Lockyer Fox is found dead in her garden, in her nightdress, apparently frozen to death mere steps from her own patio doors. Local rumour condemns her husband, James, as a cruel murderer, despite the conclusion by the coroner that it was accidental. His own children seem ready to accuse him and he is equally ready to suspect them. Oddly, and increasingly worryingly his lawyer, James is doing nothing to rebut the rumours. Could he be hiding a secret?
Meanwhile, a group of travellers led by a man calling himself Fox Evil descend upon James' village in Shenstead, Dorset. They claim to want a place to settle down, but seem to know rather more about the village than one would expect.
Rousing himself from his stupor, James sends a letter via his lawyer, Mark, to his illegitimate granddaughter, Nancy. Gradually, she is drawn into a complex mesh of rumour, reality and danger surrounding the central mystery of the book: who locked Ailsa outside and left her to die?
My thoughts
As always, Walters creates a complex environment and there are a variety of characters to meet before the story can begin to develop. This naturally enforces a slow pace into what is already a fairly 'cold' crime – there is no dramatic discovery of a body or intense police investigation of the death. The event is revealed to us in a brief newspaper article and has already been dismissed by the police as an unusual accident. This is typical of Walters' writing in that the reader is drawn in through the skilful creation of well-rounded characters and a slight mystery rather than by an intense desire to solve a who or how-dunnit. It does mean that readers need to be patient and give the story a chance to develop. This isn't a high octane crime thriller but is more of a dark exploration of real motives and domestic lives. However, there are still subtle interests and fears that nag you into reading on.
In the first chapters a lot of characters are introduced quickly and the reader gains a gradual picture of them as the story develops. It is clear early on that Fox is indeed evil and the reader quickly comes to fear for young Wolfie, who sees Fox as his father, and a very dangerous one at that. Wolfie's vulnerability made him a very sympathetic character and I found myself wanting to find out what would happen to him. In some respects, he is more of a 'draw' than James, whose self seclusion and refusal to rebut rumours initially clock his own vulnerability. Indeed, he seems to be the most logical suspect. When Fox appears in the story for a second time, Wolfie's mother has vanished. This is terrifying for Wolfie and preys on the reader's mind throughout the rest of the story. Unlikely as it was, I hoped for a happy ending for her.
I found other characters equally appealing. Nancy is a soldier who refuses to fit the 'helpless female' role so often meted out to women in crime fiction. Her interactions with the lawyer, Mark, are convincing and entertaining. She is intelligent and perceptive and I found myself liking her. Similarly, the local police officers are insightful and make connections effectively between events and people, leading to some interesting twists towards the end. I liked this as I think there is a tendency in novels that don't feature a particular police man / force / similar legal force to depict the police as rather hopeless and inadequate. Although Walters depicts homes as vulnerable and communities peopled by rather dangerous folk, it is reassuring to know that the police are doing a good job!
Walters continues to shift the focus of the third person throughout to present a variety of characters and events. Gradually, the likely conclusion coalesces and the inevitable climax arrives with some bloodshed. Ultimately I felt that the ending was rather disappointing. I felt the perpetrator's motives to be insufficient to justify their actions and that the whole 'building' of the plot was therefore rather shaky. That said, I appreciated the thoroughness of the concluding chapters. Walters used a newspaper report to fill in relevant background information and there is also a highly entertaining solictor's letter. Finally, there is a kind of epilogue which helps to suggest how the characters will move on from the central events. I do like stories which are neatly 'tied up' at the end. One 'loose thread' is deliberately left and it isn't as simple as happy endings all round which helped make the ending seem realistic.
The focus throughout is on people, feelings and motives which I found interesting. Fans of police procedurals or crime thrillers should look elsewhere. The novel feels 'slow' throughout but is quietly compelling. The writing is solid and convincing; there are no jerky cliff-hangers or clunky clichés. There are a variety of interesting and rounded characters although the focus is predominantly on middle class characters who consider themselves to be upper-middle. Some of the most entertaining dialogue takes place between the most snobbish characters whose flaws are mercilessly exposed by Walters. This feels like a very domestic drama and the supposedly central murder becomes almost tangential by the end. Despite the 'tidiness' of the ending, it is a bit disappointing: the villain seems to lack sufficient motivation and there is a lot of unpicking of plotlines to do which seem to result in a lot of writing but not much happening. I don't feel that this is as engaging as Walters' earlier novels and I think I shall reread those before looking to read any of her more recent work. However, that said, this is a very well written story of domestic disharmony and the potentially poisonous nature of gossipy village life. Recommended.
Fox Evil is the ninth book by this author, and it won the CWA Gold Dagger award in 2003.
At the root of this mystery is the question of who killed Ailsa Lockyer-Fox. Set in the small village of Shenstead in Dorset, Fox Evil attempts to sort it all out. Ailsa was found by her husband James outside their home in the freezing cold weather, wearing only a nightgown. Obviously, she hadn't intended on staying outside for any length of time. To add to the mystery, bloodstains were also found, but Ailsa had no visible wounds which would have caused them. To further whet the reader's appetite for clues, the door going back into the house was locked, and her husband James, seemingly slept on while the murder and mayhem were occurring. The coroner's report cleared James of any wrongdoing. So who killed Ailsa?
Fox Evil is rather cluttered, suffering from too much going on all at the same time. First, James gets his solicitor to track down his long-lost and grown-up granddaughter, Lizzie's daughter from a fling she had some time back, having been adopted when she was a baby. Then there's a matter of a vicious campaign of anonymous callers, accusing James of horrible things. Not to mention the band of travellers who decide to make a certain stretch of woodland their home and their leader, who goes by the name of Fox. Add into that a mix of neighbors with their own petty problems, and pretty soon you need a scorecard to keep track of it all.
My preference in mystery novels is for a book in which there are enough suspects who all have really good motives to kill someone, a few really good red herrings that might lead me down the wrong path, and a wowser of a revelation at the end. And although I generally like Minette Walters' writing (The Ice House, The Scold's Bridle and The Breaker were absolute gems), there was just way too much happening here. Of course, this book got many 5-star reviews, so it might just be me. I'd recommend it to people who have already read books by this author, but it's definitely not one of my personal favorites.
Langatmige Geschichte ohne echte Höhepunkte: James Lockyer-Fox, ein Colonel im Ruhestand, kommt seit dem rätselhaften Tod seiner Frau nicht zur Ruhe. Grund hierfür ist weniger seine Einsamkeit als vielmehr permanenter Psychoterror, deren Urheber er selbst anfangs in seinen Kindern sieht, die ihm die Schuld am Tod ihrer Mutter geben. Eine entscheidendere Rolle spielt jedoch eine angebliche Augenzeugin aus der Nachbarschaft, die den vermeintlichen Mord zum Anlass nimmt, sich für ihre jahrelange Nichtbeachtung bei der Familie zu rächen. Der Colonel findet einzig bei seinem Anwalt und Freund Mark Ankerton sowie seiner erst kürzlich entdeckten Enkeltochter Unterstützung, durch die er seine scheinbar unwürdigen Kinder enterben will.
Mehr soll an dieser Stelle nicht verraten werden, obwohl die Auflösung der Geschichte einen auch nicht gerade vom Stuhl haut. Es wird wohl auch so ganz gut ersichtlich, dass diese Story nicht allzu viel mit einem Krimi zu tun hat. Es geht in erster Linie um Intrigen, falsche Anschuldigungen, Rufmord usw.. Eingebettet ist dies alles in ein recht gewöhnungsbedürftiges, fremdartiges englisches Provinzumfeld, in dem es ständig um solch spannende Themen wie das Pro und Contra der Fuchsjagd oder um jahrhundertealte Landersitzungsrechte geht.
Nachdem mich die "Bildhauerin" absolut begeistert hat, dachte ich mir, dass ich mit einem weiteren Buch von Minette Walters nichts falsch machen könnte. Leider war das ein Irrtum. In der Hoffnung auf einen ordentlichen Krimi wurde ich hier nur mit einer (vielleicht eher auf das weibliche Publikum abzielenden) Klatsch- und Tratschgeschichte enttäuscht.
It was a tricky plot, I got lost a few times but in the end it all came together. I was fascinated by Wolfie he seemed so pathetic. Fox however was not realistic. A bit too dark for my taste but it is unquestionably superb writing.

When elderly Ailsa Lockyer-Fox is found dead in her garden, dressed only in nightclothes and with bloodstains on the ground near her body, the finger of suspicion points at her wealthy husband, Colonel James Lockyer-Fox. A coroner's investigation deems it death by natural causes, but the gossip surrounding James refuses to go away. Friendless and alone, James and his reclusive behavior begins to alarm his attorney, whose concern deepens when he discovers that his client has become the victim of a relentless campaign accusing him of far worse than the death of his wife. James is unwilling to fight the allegations, choosing instead to devote his energies to a desperate search for the illegitimate granddaughter who may prove his savior as he battles for his name-and his life.

I was crazy enough to head out around 4:30ish AM on Friday. Went to the typical places, like Walmart and the mall. There's a Bass Pro next to the mall so naturally I ended up there as well. Fondled many guns and I decided on the XDs. I hand him over my ID and he said it'd be about two hours wait while pointing to a group of people also waiting. I had things to do and was not going yo stand there for 2 hours.. there's only so much to look at..
Later in the afternoon I stopped by a gun store my friend swears by, for the first time. As soon as I walked in, I saw it and knew it'd be the start of a great future together..

Races to Watch III: Big Money, Small Money
September 29, 2008 | Barack Obama defended his decision not to accept public financing by arguing that running a campaign for the White House based on small contributions accomplishes what the public financing system aims to do but falls short of doing: curb the influence of outside interest groups. In many congressional races, the issue of who's backing the candidate--wealthy donors or everyone else--is finding its way into debates over the best way to fix the economy and whether campaign contributions and lobbying by the financial sector had anything to do with today's economic crisis. Capital Eye takes a closer look at some of these races.

Stephen Harper's Conservatives say Michael Ignatieff wants to trigger an election this year – one that would most certainly disrupt the fragile economic recovery they are trying to manage. They even take shots at the Liberal Leader for taking a holiday over the Christmas break.
The Tories are reacting to Mr. Ignatieff's 11-day tour of un-held Liberal ridings, which he began Wednesday morning. The Opposition Leader also released a campaign document: "Five Years of Harper: Is Canada Better Off?"
Mr. Ignatieff outlined a number of issues on which the Conservative government has failed Canadians, including the economy, the environment, pension reform and the deficit. The Tories scoff at this – and the Liberal Leader's contention he's not "pushing for an election" – in a memo circulated to MPs and supporters.
"In the clearest indication yet that he has his sights set on forcing a needless election that will distract from creating jobs and sustaining our fragile economic recovery, Michael Ignatieff – fully rested after a three-week vacation – started his New Year by launching a national political tour," the Tories say.
"The message of this tour, according to an unnamed strategist is that 'you have to vote Liberal' and targets ridings he believes he can pick up from other parties."
The memo incorporates all of the loaded language used by Tories to criticize the opposition, invoking the "uncertainty of a reckless Coalition" trying to take down a government that is working toward "a budget that will keep our fragile economic recovery on track."
The Conservatives repeatedly bring up the idea of a coalition of Liberals, NDP and Bloc MPs running the country as a scary proposition. "We, again, restate our commitment to not provoke an election that is unnecessary at this time. With economic recovery in sight, the last thing we need is the disruption of a needless election or the uncertainty of a reckless Coalition."
Concluding their missive, the Tories vow to focus on jobs and growth "as Ignatieff travels Canada calling for an unnecessary election."Report Typo/Error

Hi seeing as you are the guru's gurus, I am pretty much a valve person myself, I understand valve amps reasonably.
I have read Randy Slone's amp book, and John Linsley Hoods'.
Anyway, to the point.
I was just wondering a few things about tranny amp designs.
1/ How long would it take a pro company to come up with a working design roughly?
2/ Do they work backwards...ie start with power required and select output transistors and configuration?
3/ now it gets interesting, having seen a few Japanese amp schematics, there are multitude of variations, why so many and so complex in the first 2 stages, i.e. once you have an ouptut stage, how does that determine the former stages?
4/ another important question, can you really tune the sound, ie the designs are done by maths on paper, so how does the 'sound' arise, ie. laidback say, punchy bass, you know, what you want it to have...is it just really an accident, or what areas can you play with within reason....just the feedback and caps.?
5/ some Japanese amps have elaborate compensation, ie lots of caps, how?? on earth do they hone in on the areas that need stabilising?
thanks look foward to an informative reply, best wishes.

I can't seem to edit, couple more questions.
why so many capacitors in designs ie
an input cap for frequency
the miller cap
the cap in the feedback loop
the zobel cap
I mean, why an input cap if the others roll off frequency?
is there a systematic guide to types of distortion, ie is it fair to say current driving output stage is lo. frequency and slew rate is current at high frequencies?
thanks again

The answers would probably take up a few books. I suggest you look up Pass DIY, Douglas Self and Horwitz and do some reading first.

Well, it makes sense that if they are going to take the time to answer, we should all benefit. OTOH I think that everyone's point is that these are not questions that can be answered in a few sentences.

all are welcome to reply, but I was after the pro's ideas in particular, to see how things are done for manufacture.
not to cause consternation, but what is Mr Curl's background, I can see he is revered, but I am a bit in the dark concerning his history.
And I have also read Doug self, very good, too, trouble is, this is such a tough subject to get a good grasp of, and no book seems to be explain things properly, the ones I have mentioned go some way, but still fall short.

Your post # 2 shows that you need to study some basics first.
This is not to put you off; we've all been there one time or another. But unless you YOURSELF understand the issues, you won't get anywhere. Even for a hobby, serious effort is required to advance.
Pretend there is no internet, and get a book. You'll be amazed how fast you learn if you really want! Ask the forum for some good basic text, I'm sure you get lots of good advise.

Let me take a crack at some answers:
A pro company can take from minutes to years to make a new design. Crown, for example actually hires engineers and has developed essentially "new" designs for a substantial number of their amp products over the years. The ones that take minutes are simply taking "well understood" designs and packaging them for the application, with appropriate "glue".
Capacitors: they are needed to keep the amp stable. Amps like to become oscillators generally speaking. Judicious use of caps in the real world keeps your amp from becoming silicon fuses, or fused silicon!
Understanding all of the details of amp design is not an easy task unless you already have an engineering degree, in which case most of the math involved transfers very nicely - making the details much easier. To do the thing really well (design) you need college level math skills and optimally some computer skills to run SPICE (a circuit simulation program), plus the digestion of a number of texts on electronics.
I do suggest that the Horowitz and Hill book is a very excellent place to begin, as it is *readable* without special math or electronics background. (Why can't more people write texts this clearly??)
I'll say this, I am a complete moron and still have gaps in my knowledge and have forgotten as much or more than I could tell you right now today about amp design, electronics in general. Personally I am constantly amazed by people who can quote some obscure equation off the top of their head on cue after not having used it for 10 years... "it ain't me babe..."
There's no easy path... one way to go is to go to the library and read all the back issues of EW+W and Audio Express (Audio Amateur) and read all the web pages that talk about this stuff to start to see how it hangs together. This forum has some fabulous threads that get pretty deep into specific areas of amplifier design both for specific amps and for general amp ideas. You could read them for a few weeks and maybe come up with some things you want to learn more about, then go out and research them... that will lead you to other things, and so on...
Oh, one of the best ways to learn is to build things yourself. If you have yet to build anything, start *very simple* and with a kit if possible, or a mod from a magazine or website that is known to work... then build something from scratch, etc... you'll learn that way. Most of the readers here are DIYers not professional audio/circuit engineers. I suspect most got started that way.

Just an example: if you depict a source going into an amp via a series C (that's your question, right?), what's so special about a cap, what a resistor or a coil couldn't do?

American author Solomon wins Britain's Wellcome prize
By Michael Roddy
LONDON (Reuters) - American psychologist and writer Andrew Solomon won the 2014 Wellcome Book Prize on Tuesday for his "Far From the Tree: a dozen kinds of love" about raising unusual children ranging from prodigies to those suffering from autism and dyslexia.
The prize, which is given to a book centered on medicine and health, is in its fifth year and carries a 30,000-pound ($50,500) cash award.
Describing Solomon's book, 10 years in the making, as a "monumental work", a statement from the prize jury said it "tells the stories of parents who not only learn to deal with their exceptional children but also find profound meaning in doing so".
Drawing on interviews with more than 300 families, the book covers subjects including deafness, dwarfism, Down's syndrome, autism, schizophrenia, prodigies, children born of rape, children convicted of crime and transgender people.
"Solomon has already been widely praised for his depth of research, his writerly flair and his range of address," poet and writer Andrew Motion, the head of the judging panel, said in the statement, adding that the book is "a profound reflection on the family, and on the influence of medicine and science".
"It's also a book that is driven powerfully by an appeal to personal experience - by Solomon's recollections of growing up as a gay man, and by his exploration of the difficulties and opportunities this created for him," Motion said.
"Taken all together, these things make it an exceptionally distinguished winner: startlingly intelligent, generously compassionate, memorably insightful, and courageous."
Solomon said he was honored and congratulated the Wellcome Book Prize for choosing a work that wrestles with some of the thorny issues of medical and social progress. Continued...

english (theses writing)
posted by Anonymous .
hello! :) I am a freshman college student and I am looking for a thesis topic about civil engineering.Can you give me a topic on my thesis about civil engineering? thanks :)
Wouldn't it depend on what and why you are writing? IT seems to me, if you are writing a short essay, you ought to greatly narrow the topic.
I am reminded of Thoreau's Walden Pond. The thesis of each essay was written so that its meaning could be discerned by inference: it applied to humans, more than the pond flora and fauna.
My recommending is narrow the topic. Civil Engineering is a very broad topic, and it is difficult to have a specific thesis on broad topics: this is the failing of folks who have opinions on gay marriage, abortion, birth control, "education", good, and evil.
It is much easier to argue and support a thesis when it is narrowed.

Batman: Arkham Origins Screens Roll Out the Bad Dudes
Written Wednesday, August 21, 2013 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
Warner Bros. has released some new screens for Batman: Arkham Origins, following yesterday's Firefly trailer.
In the screens you'll see Firefly chucking some flames around, as well as Mad Hatter, Anarchy, Deathstroke, Batman's new Shock Gloves and a dude dressed as a rabbit. Which is weird, but when your main character is a millionaire in a bat costume you kinda go with it.
Have a look at the screens below. Batman: Arkham Origins is out on October 25th.

Late-night revellers in Aldershot now have an extra fast food choice after a kebab shop was granted permission to extend its opening hours.
Rushmoor Kebab, in Victoria Road, can now remain open until 3.30am following Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights after members of Rushmoor Borough Council's licensing sub-committee debated the pros and cons for more than an hour on August 14.
The shop is open until 1am on other nights.
The application was made by owner Hasan Karadal, who argued that, with nearby Yates's, newly-opened as Popworld, allowed to open until 3.30am since June, it would be unfair not to let him do the same. Aldershot Fried Chicken, opposite the shop, is licensed to open until 3am.
Mr Karadal's application was made on May 23, after he received a letter saying police officers had observed customers still queuing inside the shop after the permitted opening hours on recent evenings. On one date a customer was still waiting for food at 3.07am. Mr Karadal said he was struggling to close on time because of the number of customers waiting for food, particularly since Yates's was open later.
PC Iain Barnes, Hampshire Constabulary's representative at the hearing, pointed out that Mr Karadal's application had been made before Yates's licence was extended.
"I would ask you to ignore his claims that it's all because of Yates's because all these incidents happened before that," he said.
PC Barnes said when revellers getting fast food meant they were delayed going home arguments were more likely, causing added pressure on the police who were therefore unable to focus on the rest of the borough.
He not only requested that the application be refused but suggested that a door supervisor or a serving hatch be installed to ensure that no customers were inside the shop after hours, arguing Mr Karadal should be helped to stick to the current regulations as opposed to being granted an extension.
Mr Karadal said his was the only establishment with a toilet and that people would urinate on the door if this was unavailable.
"Why can I not close later?" he pleaded. "I don't understand. I've been there six years and have never had a serious problem with customers. Sometimes I even close early.
"It is only the weekends when I make money to pay my rates. I'm not there to do something wrong, I'm there to help the public."
Despite the mention of other premises, members were told they should treat the Rushmoor Kebab application on its own merits, and, after a long discussion, chairman Alan Ferrier concluded that the application should be granted.
"We accept the evidence from the police, however we did not hear any convincing evidence that problems were caused by this premises," he said, adding that the members felt a door supervisor or serving hatch were inappropriate.
Mr Karadal was told that, as part of the decision, no customers should be allowed to enter the shop after 3.15am to ensure the doors could be shut on time. He assured members that he intended to close at 3am and be in bed by 3.30am.

Your homely hideaway in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve
Your private bush snuggery within the Greater Kruger National Park, Geiger's Camp is the proud new addition to Motswari Private Game Reserve. Perched on a ridge with panoramic views of Big Five terrain, this luxury safari camp fuses tasteful elegance with historic, rustic charm.
The Big Five (rhino, elephant, lion, leopard and buffalo) are abundant in this part of the Timbavati Nature Reserve, and even if your stay is short, you are sure to encounter all of these amazing animals during your game drives from Geiger's Camp. Not forgetting the other plains game and the smaller creatures that contribute to this elaborate and ancient natural ecosystem … they are just as fascinating. Our guides are residents of the area, so along with their extensive scientific knowledge, they have an intimate and passionate bond with the bushveld and its denizens. Chad Cocking, for one, grew up here as a boy, and after graduating with a degree in environmental management, has returned to the place he loves to be the head field guide.
The best way to experience the bush is to really slow down and closely observe your surroundings over time, so the game drives are three-and-a-half hours long in open Land Rovers, at sunrise and sunset, ensuring that you're treated to the loveliest scenes of nature and wildlife that the Timbavati has to offer. Sunsets in Africa are said to be like nowhere else on earth, so the sunset game drives which ease into the evening, are a must, not least because a vast cast of nocturnal wildlife takes the stage, including hyena, honey-badger, civet, bush babies and owls. Birdwatchers, meanwhile, will find a huge array of winged ones to tick off, as there are over 350 bird species to be spotted year-round.
For an even more intimate interaction with the wild, you can request a guided walking safari with one of our experienced and armed trailguides, who will answer any question that comes to mind.
Geiger's Camp originated as a traditional-style family home for the late Roland Geiger, and it retains this homely feel, elevated to luxury accommodation standard. An exclusive little hideaway built from rock and stone, it has four Private Bedrooms, which makes this camp ideal for a private booking for family or a group of friends.
Each suite is different, tastefully styled by owner Marion Geiger-Orengo, an artist by profession, along with her friend and collaborator, Cape Town interior decorator, David Strauss. Sumptuous antique and art deco chairs, an old chest with its own story, a room divider with leather inset next to a hanging brass lamp … each room is an eclectic treasure trove of furniture, meticulously chosen and appointed a space on a cool, screed floor. In the spacious bathrooms are freestanding, ball-and-claw baths and copper basins that complement the feel of being on safari in a more genteel era. Or you can cool off under an outdoor shower.
Marion's paintings personalize each room, which have their own private decks overlooking the bush, though most of your time will be spent on the main deck, a beautifully decorated vista full of texture and colour, punctuated by an oval infinity pool with uninterrupted views of the bush. Here you will take your meals, which are arranged according to your specific needs. Meals are accompanied by an award-winning selection of Southern African wines. You will also dine occasionally in a quaint Boma within the camp.
The library, meanwhile, is a serene snuggery full of wildlife books, Africana and object d'art that speak of the Geiger family heritage and their love of nature, like the collection of wooden crocodiles amassed by the family over 30 years and sprawled over a wall next to the fireplace.
Geiger's Camp is two kilometers from Motswari Private Game Lodge, which is situated in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve within the Greater Kruger National Park. Once you check into Motswari, you are driven by Land Rover to Geiger's Camp, and you can be fetched to visit the main Motswari lodge at any time, simply by arrangement with staff at the camp.
The drive from Johannesburg takes about six hours, and Motswari can be easily reached by road from Durban or Phalaborwa. We suggest you fly to Hoedspruit's Eastgate airport as the road transfer to Motswari is short; 2 daily flights from Johannesburg OR Tambo and flights 3 times per week from Cape Town International Airport are landing in Hoedspruit. You can also catch a 45 minute flight from Johannesburg's to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (KMIA) near Nelspruit, but the drive to the Lodge is longer From Hoedspruit to Motswari the drive is 50 minutes on the Timbavati road through the Greater Kruger National Park, where you'll likely get your first sightings of African wildlife.
Although the property is in a remote area it is well severed by tarred roads that go right to our gate house which is staffed 24/7. Access to this gate house is possible even if there are storms in the area. For your convenience and to enhance your experience we transfer from the gate house using our safari trucks.
In addition, chartered flights are available to land at Motswari's private airstrip, where guests are given a VIP welcome. Road transfers from Hoedspruit, and both road and air transfers from KMIA, are arranged with us at Motswari, so don't hesitate to contact us regarding your travel requirements prior to your stay.
Please download our detailed road map, plus directions from Durban, Nelspruit, Phalaborwa, Johannesburg and Pretoria.

Shop our Diamonds
Most diamonds appear colorless but actually have slight tones of yellow or brown. The closer the stone comes to colorless, the more valuable it is. Diamonds are graded on a color scale ranging from D (colorless) to Z (heavily tinted.) Only a highly skilled professional will detect any color in E or F stones, and the color in diamonds rated up to J will be virtually invisible when set in a ring or other jewelry.
Color is only one of the four C's so even when a stone has a visible tint, such as K or above, it can still be very lovely if it has good clarity and cut. How the diamond is set can make a difference, too; you might not want to put a truly colorless diamond in a yellow gold setting since the yellow color will reflect in the stone. On the other hand, a slightly yellow stone will appear whiter in a yellow gold setting.
Diamonds also come in a wide variety of other colors, including red, blue, green and a bright yellow known as "canary." These are graded as Z+ and are known as "fancy" diamonds. Ones with good color are very rare and can sell for much more per carat than white diamonds.
The following is the GIA color scale, which is very commonly used in the United States:

After two and half seasons at Tijuana, Castillo is moving to Atlas. It's the seventh Mexican club for the 27-year-old Castillo, who began his career at Santos before moving to Club America, Tigres, San Luis Puebla and then to Xolos. He played 32 games for Tijuana, the most of any American in Mexico last season.
Gomez, who has joined Tigres on loan from Tijuana, on the other hand, endured a rough season with Xolos, going scoreless in 20 Liga MX matches. He had scored 35 goals in his first three-and-a half-seasons in Mexico with four other clubs.
Un trote de una hora con pausas de recuperación es el que sostiene el equipo. pic.twitter.com/XVF175gpa1 — CLUB TIGRES OFICIAL (@TigresOficial) June 5,
Bornstein, 29, moves to Queretaro on loan from Tigres after spending the 2014 Torneo Clausura, also on loan, at Atlante, where he made three league appearances. He only had nine appearances in three full years at Tigres after moving from MLS's Chivas USA in 2010.
Two Southern California youth stars have moved to Tijuana: John Requejo (Real So Cal) and Anthony Rodriguez (Chivas USA academy), whose brother Stevie has been at Xolos since 2012. Stevie Rodriguez was one of several young Americans to play on loan from Xolos for second division Dorados in the 2014 Copa MX.

Super Tuesday Update
Published March 7th, 2012
WASHINGTON (AP) - Mitt Romney is adding one more victory to his Super Tuesday showing - the Alaska caucuses.
Romney's final win means that Ron Paul, who hoped for an Alaska win, has finished the 10-state Super Tuesday without a single victory.
Romney won Ohio's Republican presidential primary, narrowly defeating Rick Santorum in the most critical and hard-fought of the Super Tuesday contests.
In all, Romney has gained victories in six Super Tuesday states. The other states he's won are Massachusetts, Vermont, Virginia and Idaho.
Santorum has won Tennessee, Oklahoma and North Dakota, while Newt Gingrich has won his home state of Georgia.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Some expected Danzig to launch a solo career right after the Misfits (he'd issued an obscure 7" single during his tenure with the band), but he instead decided to form Samhain. Although Samhain was basically a solo vehicle for Danzig (he was the group's singer and songwriter, and also played an assortment of instruments on subsequent recordings -- guitar, bass, piano, drums, etc.), he was joined by a variety of musicians during their existence. Initially, Danzig and onetime Misfits photographer and roadie Eerie Von (on drums) began rehearsing and writing for Samhain during the summer of 1983. After only a few months, however, Von decided to move over to bass, as Undead drummer Steve Zing took his place. With former Minor Threat guitarist Lyle Preslar signing on soon after, Samhain recorded their debut album, Initium, which was issued in 1984.
But Preslar's tenure with the band was incredibly short, as Pete Marshall, better known to Samhain fans as "Damien," replaced him. This lineup remained together for a lone release, 1985's extremely limited-edition four-track EP Unholy Passion, before another lineup hiccup occurred when Zing was replaced with London May. This would turn out to be the longest lasting of Samhain's many lineups, and was the one that appeared on 1986's November-Coming-Fire. By early 1987, Damien was handed his walking papers, and was interchanged with newcomer John Christ. The new lineup was supposed to issue a recording in 1988 (under the title of Samhain Grim), but the recording was ultimately shelved, as Danzig opted to change the name of the band to Danzig (Samhain Grim was eventually released two years later, retitled Final Descent).
Although Danzig had repeatedly squashed reunion rumors regarding his former bands, he briefly resuscitated Samhain in late 1999 for live shows, as a mammoth five-CD box set entitled Samhain was issued the following year. Samhain collected all four of their releases as well as a live disc that combined tracks from a 1985 show in New York City and a 1986 show in Chicago. This fifth disc was given a its own separate release in 2002, under the title of Live, 85-86, by which time Danzig had put Samhain back in mothballs and returned to solo work. However, Danzig did reunite in the studio with Zing and "reunion-era" Samhain guitarist Todd Youth for the project Son of Sam and their 2001 release, Songs from the Earth. ~ Greg Prato

The new LIS Self-Service Portal is now available, enabling you to log a helpdesk call or request an IT service instead of phoning LIS Customer Support.
From 2016/17, the structure of UCLan's Academic Calendar has changed to better support our students moving forwards.
The main difference will enable most students to finish the academic year by mid-July knowing they are able to return and progress the following September.
In summary the changes are:
If you're a first year student who has not yet been vaccinated against meningitis, the University Medical Centre is offering you the opportunity to receive the Meningitis ACWY vaccine. Not everyone enjoys injections, but this one could save your life or someone else's. You'll need to register with the Centre in order to receive the vaccination - they can be contacted on 01772 892598.
If you're working late in the library and live in a PR1 or PR2 postcode area then why not use the Free Late Bus service to get you home between the hours of 10pm and 4.30am? Pre-booking is required which can be done at the Library reception. Find out more.
The University subscribes to lynda.com - a fantastic online resource providing video courses and tutorials in a wide range of topics. UCLan students receive free, unlimited access to this incredible service.
Each training course comprises a series of short videos, so it's flexible enough to fit in around your studies; allowing you to watch either a whole course or specific videos whenever you need them.
Following each course, you will be awarded with a 'certificate of completion', providing documentary evidence for potential employers as well as a record to add to your personal development portfolio.

Niall Horan Dishes on New One Direction Record
One Direction have been the subject of a flurry of gossip surrounding their upcoming sophomore album. Niall Horan clarified the rumors, as well as dished on what's actually going down for the new record.Horan denied any and all reports about a first single called 'Heartbreaker,' telling MTV, "I read that on Twitter. It's not true at all," he said. "We actually don't even have a song called 'Heartbreaker.' That's not gonna happen."
That doesn't mean the guys aren't hard at work on their new album! "We've been recording already, actually," Horan said. "When we came back from Australia, we had a couple weeks off and then we went straight into the studio to get cracking on the next album."
"Cracking" is a term Horan appears to fancy, as he used it to describe the songs — maybe it's similar to "poppin'" or "bangin'"? "We wrote an absolutely cracking song that we're all kind of very excited about," he gushed, "And then last week we were in L.A. and we had five days off the tour to record in L.A. so we recorded more there." Horan said the band is using most of July and August to "get the album done."
So if 'Heartbreaker' isn't the next single, what is? Horan wouldn't say, but he did admit they're working on picking one out. "Then obviously we've got to make a decision for a single soon, 'cause we have to get a single out towards September, I suppose," he said. "So obviously we don't have a date for that yet, so we're gonna have to start thinking, sitting down with the record label, sitting down with management, getting everyone's views. Obviously everyone was on the same page [last time]. It's usually not a struggle."
The lone Irishman in 1D then divulged the band's recording, marketing and writing process — and if you thought One Direction were a manufactured set of adorable puppets, you'd be wrong. They're super hands on in everything that they do. "The way it works for us, I don't know how everyone else works but, people don't see the meetings that we do, the all-day meetings about the album and the way the songs are going to be even listed on the back of the album and album artwork," he said. "We want to have the most control that we possibly can of everything that we do," he admitted. "Like at the moment, I'm just proofreading the single artwork for the next single. They don't see that."
Niall also dishes on just how hectic their recording and touring schedule is — and how he plans to spend his time off. Maybe he can squeeze in a date with crush Demi Lovato!

Hooking up my 8.8 brakes and e-brake bracket?
Finalizing my 8.8 install under the YJ. I don't have any of the hard brake lines that were on the 8.8 previously, only the braided stainless steel lines that came with my Rubicon Express kit. That said, I had a few questions.
1. Does anyone have the part numbers for the hard lines on the axle and what else I'll need to hook it to the supply lines that are on my YJ?
2. Does anyone have a step by step picture set on how this installation should go? I've never done a brake job other than pads and rotors.
3. I have the e-Brake cables installed to the axle already that came with my 8.8 rebuild kit, however my old bracket that the lines go to from the Jeep is rusted to the point that I can't get it apart to attach the new lines. I can't seem to find a replacement item number for it. Anyone have a clue? I need the whole bracket and adjustment bolt for the e-brake cables.
Thanks for the help, guys!
I used the Yj distribution block which bolted right on the 8.8, i then made my own 3/16 lines. Pretty simple really. I used two passenger side ford rear brake lines to the calipers so i had female ends to hook the 3/16 line into.
As for the ebrake setup i modified my jeep e brake to work the the explorer e brake bracket stuff i took with the axle from the junk yard.
I have pics of it somewhere if that helps. I'll see if i can track it down...
Same thing I did yamjam
This is what you are looking for, used this info to install mine. Ford 8.8 Axle in YJ
Thanks for all the help guys.I spoke with eastcoast yesterday and they've got a bolt on kit for $60. Will just glad that.
Can someone post a few pics for me of their setup? Need the following:
- Picture of the connection from the hardline in the back to whatever takes them to the 3-way brake splitter. The more I look at mine, the more I realize that my hardlines might be a problem too.
- A picture of the brake line splitter on the axle itself (where you mounted it and the block itself)
- Those with trusses, how did you run your hardlines on the axle?
Since all I have is the hardlines at this point (and the SS lines that came with my kit), I'm a bit lost as to what else I need. The links were helpful, but I need some up close shots.
Dennis I plan on running my hard lines from the calipers to the center of the third member then I will tie in my flex hose there. Going to start working on it tomorrow and can post pictures then. I am going to take the rubber brake hose off of the passenger side of another explorer rear end and put it on the drivers side caliper. That will do away with the junction point that is on the explorer rear end. Not sure if that is how you are thinking about doing yours or not but I will help answer ant questions if it is.
3 Attachment(s)
What I did was order the hard lines from ECGS and mount them with the stock t-fitting from the D35. Welded the line adapter tabs that came with the kit behind the bumpstops. As far as the e-brake setup, I got some brake line fittings and drilled them out so the inner cable could move freely and the outer shell wouldn't and used cable swedges on the inner cable into the stock 2 to 1 cable fitting already in place.
Here they are Denis. I used a right side soft line off another explorer on the left caliper to get away from the double house that the factory used. I wanted my supply line in the middle of the carrier. I used a 20" line for the passenger side and 2 12" lines for the drivers side because I could not find a 24" line.
Very cool! I'm hoping my parts all get here this weekend so I can get this pig finished!

Just saw this essay this morning on First Thing's On the Square. Here is Professor McDermott's conclusion: The lesson Evangelicals should learn from this new dust-up over evangelical theology and modernity is that sola scriptura is necessary but not sufficient for maintaining theological orthodoxy. Only a "single-source" view of scripture and tradition in which hermeneutical authority is given to the mutual interplay of Scripture and orthodox community—the method that the church practiced for mo … [Read more...]

Don is simply the best!.. From the initial estimate till the day he was done the process was effortless and amazing. Don showed up everyday with a positive attitude and one heck of a work ethic. Very trustworthy and professional. My house walls were in rough shape had holes everywhere and a lot of bumps, but Don made it dissapear.

It was a pleasure working with Don on a project that had a very tight schedule. He showed up and did the job with a lot of care. He was flexible and pleasant in working conditions that were not ideal such as dealing with a very strict condo association. I would definitely recommend Don for any painting or contracting job.

This company is terrific! The quality is beyond excellent. Don was the first company to contact me and he was so accommodating that I hired him over the phone right away. The painter that I had previously hired, cancelled at the last minute and I was in a time crunch to have 2 rooms and a very large hallway painted before my carpet install. Don and David showed up within 2 hours. David worked late into the night to get this done and then came back on Saturday to finish. It's completed and is truly AMAZING! I have very high cathedral ceilings and had 3 different colors for accent walls. They work tirelessly. The price was very, very fair. I have never seen such excellence. If you want perfection, and I do mean perfection, then you should hire this company. Don and David are such a great team! I truly enjoyed working with them very much. One last thing... When they tell you the price, that's the price. They are honest men and exceeded my expectations.

Creative Paint were one of 4 local painters we received quotes from and we are very pleased we selected Don and his company. He is very personable and easy to deal with - he treats each job and customer with a commitment you would find from a close friend. We agreed project scope, a price and a timeframe....they arrived as expected, were very courteous and worked to get the job done on time and to a high standard (including a little addition we had forgotten about initially). I would recommend them to others and (while I'll always shop around) am likely to use them again in the future.

That's why I call them entertainment, not media
Talk about making an introduction.
Rookie news anchor A.J. Clemente left a lasting impression on NBC's viewers in North Dakota Sunday night, when his first words on air at his new job were "f—ing sh-t."
The admittedly nervous Clemente was just being introduced by the television announcer when viewers heard the easily audible phrase, which he said oblivious to the fact his microphone was on.
Co-anchor Van Tieu attempted to carry on professionally, telling viewers: "You may have seen our newest reporter A.J on Envy and CE North Dakota News. He will be joining North Dakota news as my co-anchor. Tell us a little about yourself A.J."
Clemente, no doubt realizing that he just went "Boom goes the Dynamite" on his career, valiantly attempts to compose himself.
"Um thanks Van, I'm very excited — I graduated from West Virginia University and I'm used to, um, being, you know, from the…

Hello all,
I just purchased a brand new Windham Weaponry AR15. I've heard great things about it and decided to take the plunge. I'm brand new to this whole AR15 thing so I'm not totally sure where to proceed from here. I will probably end up customizing this rifle extensively as I get time, but any pointers on where to get started? The gun comes with sights already installed, though the rear sights can be folded down, presumably to allow other rail mounted optics.
Some things I've been thinking about are a new railed handguard, optics and grip. Any ideas or advice? What are considered the top of the line brands for the magazines? Is it generally worth it to buy a foregrip?
Thanks for any and all advice?
Also, as an aside, how does the AR15 compare to a shotgun for home defense?

Hi all, I am 5 weeks 4 days pregnant with my second child. Ever since I got my BFP, I have had spotting off and on. It seems to be pink most of the time, but sometimes brown, and it is usually mixed in with creamy/eggwhite CM (and only when I wipe). I'm just feeling very nervous.... with my first pregnancy, I had some spotting, but it wasn't as often as this time. It seems to be either every day or every 2 days that I see the spotting. I haven't had as many symptoms with this pregnancy either. I have not had sex or had any contact with my cervix so that can't be the cause.
My appt. isn't until the 28th, but I'm thinking of trying to get in this Monday when I will be exactly 6 weeks pregnant. Can they do an ultrasound this early? This uncertainty is just making me crazy - I just want to know if everything is okay or not.
I'm desperate for some reassurance! Thank you in advance!
Me (30), DH (33), DS1 (6), DS2 (2), and surprise DS3 born Dec 2014!

I had a lengthy reply written out, but I lost it. Basically, I had a similar situation to you this pregnancy, only my spotting turned from pink mucous to brown to (bright) red. I also had twingy/crampy feelings. It ended up being nothing at all.
I understand wanting to know. I would probably wait until I was 6-6.5 weeks to see if they can detect a heartbeat, but you have to do what is best for you.
Thank you very much Mulvah and Okapi for your replies. It is definitely scary... seems to be usually in the evenings and when I first wake up in the morning when I'm most likely to find the pink mucus. I've read that when the uterus grows, it can break blood vessels in the cervix to cause this, but it just seems crazy that I see it everyday. I will be 6 weeks on Monday and am thinking of trying to get in to the ob/gyn because I just don't think I can wait 2 more weeks till my appt. I just worry that 6 weeks will be too early and they will only want to do bloodwork instead of trying an ultrasound.
Do you know if I should be resting as much as I can because of the spotting? Do you think more activity can cause more spotting?
I'm sorry to hear you both have experienced this scary symptom too, but glad that all is okay with your babes.
