InMinistry MAPMin Class
THST647 - Human Nature and Destiny
Professor: Miroslav M. Kiš
Date: November 10-14, 2013
Location: Forest Lake SDA Church, Apopka, FL. (MAPMin classes will no longer be offered in the state of Tennessee.)
Class Synopsis:
The Christian message confronts the world with the image of a true human identity. It is not a negative self-annihilating message of Eastern mysticism, nor a utopia of liberalism. A human being is a priceless speck of dust of the ground, made in the image of God; a blade of grass whom God cherishes as the apple of His eye (Deuteronomy 32:10). But humans are rebels, slaves to themselves and their consequences. The story of the liberation of humans from themselves is the story of redemption.
Class Objectives:
- To examine different views of human nature throughout the history of theology.
- To establish as closely as possible the biblical picture of the original nature.
- To chart the biblical view of human destiny and the way of realizing this destiny.
- To clarify as much as possible the importance and content of such traditional Christian doctrines as the sin against the Holy Spirit, original sin, the fall, Imago Dei, immortality, and the resurrection.

Jump On The iPad Before It Is Too Late: 3 Reasons To Develop An iPad App Now
Posted by Mike Gualtieri on January 28, 2010
Finally, Apple's latest game-changing, must-have device is ripe - the iPad. The iPad is not a new idea. Tablet PCs were introduced years ago but failed to take off. More recently, the Amazon Kindle proved that a simpler form of the tablet has legs. But what Apple does brilliantly is that they do it better. They make gorgeous devices that are supremely useful, usable, and desirable at an emotional level to millions of people around the world.
Form, function and user experience notwithstanding, the availability of apps and content are what will make the iPad another Apple success. And, no one has been more successful in helping individuals and firms monetize apps and content than Apple's iTunes. If you missed the iPhone app bandwagon, don't fret. You can jump on the iPad bandwagon now.
Don't Be A Johnny-Come-Lately
Enterprise IT is slow to develop applications for new technology – choosing a wait-and-see attitude instead. The result: Johnny-come-lately. The Apple iPad is your chance to be a resounding first-mover and beat your competitors to the punch. The benefits:
- Mojo by association. Be one of the first firms to develop an iPad application to help users shop for insurance, trade stocks, play colorforms with your fall fashion line, track calories or whatever application is relevant to your customers. The result: You'll get a tremendous amount of free publicity because your firm will ride on the coattails of Apple's iPad publicity.
- Create a culture of innovation/action. Innovation = ideas + action. Your colleagues have ideas, but may be hamstrung by overbearing decision-making processes. Your action to assign a team to develop an application for the iPad will be proof that your organization can move quickly when opportunities emerge from new technology.
- Attain and retain customers. The iPhone has zillions of applications, but how many are really used? You can't build a trivial, irrelevant application. You have to develop an application that is relevant to your customers, has a compelling user experience, protects your brand, and achieves your business goals. Test your application with real users before making it widely available.
To create the application you'll need a relevant business idea, the ability to design a relevant user experience, the technical skills to program the iPad SDK, and, potentially, integration to other applications. Why not download the iPad SDK and to develop a game-changing application right now? Is there any reason not to?

re: Jump On The iPad Before It Is Too Late: 3 Reasons To Develo
Comment from Todd Biske (not verified) on Fri, 01/29/2010 - 11:52
Good post Mike, I agree. I think there are many applications for an iPad inside of the enterprise world. Rather than viewing it as a laptop replacement, which is already putting some blinders on your thinking, we need to think of it as a opening up new information delivery (and some entry) possibilities to where existing devices and form factors have been an inhibitor.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
ExPerfWiz is a PowerShell based script to help automate the collection of performance data on Exchange 2007, 2010 and 2013 servers. Supported operating systems are Windows 2003, 2008, 2008 R2, 2012
and 2012 R2.
Starting with version 1.3.8, the script by default runs in "full" mode, meaning it collects all counters useful for Exchange baseline and troubleshooting, rather than the previous role-based model, which only collected counters based on the roles
installed on the sever. If role-based collection is wanted, you can use the –nofull switch for Exchange 2007 and 2010. At this time, -nofull is not supported with Exchange 2013.
Exchange 2013 support was added in version 1.3.8!
The default behavior of the script is to create a rolling BLG file that will roll to a new log when the maximum size of the log has been reached up to a maximum of 8 hours. For Windows 2008 servers, this is based on time as the -max parameter for logman.exe
stops the data collection when the maximum log file size has been reached. There is logic in the script to prevent you from changing the maximum size of the BLG files on Windows 2008 servers.
IMPORTANT!! The default duration is 8 hours to save on disk space meaning that the data collection will stop after 8 hours. If you should need a longer duration, please review the switches below for the best possible configuration that
meets your needs.
The below table outlines what parameters ExPerfWiz can accept.
-help or -?
Provides help regarding the overall usage of the script
Specifies when you would like the ExPerfWiz data capture to begin. The format must be specified as:
"01/00/0000 00:00:00"
Turns on circular logging to save on disk space. Negates default duration of 8 hours
Converts existing BLG files to CSV. Must include –filepath (to BLG files). This can be run from any machine with PowerShell.
Path where converted CSV files should be stored
Deletes the currently running ExPerfWiz data collection
Specifies the overall duration of the data collection. If omitted, the default value is (08:00:00) or 8 hours
Specifies when you would like the ExPerfWiz data capture to end. The format must be specified as:
Enables Extended ESE performance counters.
Currently not supported with Exchange 2013.
Disables Extended ESE performance counters.
Currently not supported with Exchange 2013.
Adds ExMon tracing to specified server. Exchange 2013 support added in 1.4.2.
Sets ExMon trace duration. If not specified, 30 minutes is the default duration.
Exchange 2013 support added in 1.4.2.
Only collect ExMon capture - do NOT collect Performance data.
Version 1.4.5+
Sets the directory location of where the BLG file will be stored. Default Location is C:\Perflogs.
This switch has been deprecated in version 1.3.8. You can still run the script with this switch, however ExPerfWiz will ignore it as all collections are considered 'full' now.
Specifies the interval time between data samples. If omitted, the default value is 30 seconds.
NOTE: Exchange 2013 and Server 2012 introduced a large number of counters that were not available in previous version of Exchange/Windows.
Because of this, using a value of less than 5 will result in very large files, very quick. Please be sure the storage location has enough space.
Specifies the maximum size of BLG file in MB. If omitted, the default value is 512.
NOTE: Starting with v1.4, Exchange 2013 defaults to 1024MB
Run ExPerfWiz in role-based mode. This will collect counters based on the roles installed.
Currently not supported with Exchange 2013.
Queries configuration information of previously created Exchange_Perfwiz Data Collector
Silently run ExPerfWiz (no prompts).
Creates ExPerfWiz data collector on remote server specified. If no server is specified, the local server will be used.
Starts a previously created ExPerfWiz data collection
Stops the currently running ExPerfWiz data collection. This is useful if you need to stop ExPerfWiz before the configured duration is met. For example, the default duration is 8 hours, however you may
want to stop the collection process after only 4 hours.
Enables Extended Store performance counters.
Currently not supported with Exchange 2013.
Disables Extended Store performance counters.
Currently not supported with Exchange 2013.
Specifies whether threads will be added to the data collection. If omitted, threads counters will not be added to the collection
Launches web help for script
1.4.5 (beta)
Fixes/New stuff:
- added 3 digits for hours in duration (suggested by bilong)
- fixed -start (thanks brian kern)
- 2016 compatible
- Added ExmonOnly switch
- Added patch for 2003
- Added following counters for Exchange 2013:
\RPC/HTTP Proxy Per Server()\
\RPC/HTTP Proxy\*
\MSExchange ServiceProxyPool()\
\Web Service()\
Known Issues:
- Won't work on Windows 2003 if default system is something other than English
- Other bugs with Windows 2003
Future stuff:
- Want to make -stop give you an option to stop Exmon, ExPerfWiz, or both
- Want to check that exmon is running after starting, then give you summary of path, duration, etc
Exchange 2013 Notes
Exchange 2013, by default, collects daily performance logs and stores them in "\Microsoft\Exchange Server \V15\Logging\Diagnostics\DailyPerformanceLogs". While these logs are fantastic
for providing general baselines for Exchange 2013, I've found that I missed the customizability and advanced collection of ExPerfWiz. This is why we've added Exchange 2013 support. ExPerfWiz runs in parallel to the daily performance
logs (does not stop or delete them), however should not be relied on as a daily performance tool instead of the daily performance logs.
Because ExPerfWiz collects many additional counters that are not collected by default by the daily performance logs, space is a major consideration. Using an interval of less than 5 seconds will result
in very large files, which accumulate very quickly. Please be sure the storage location you choose has enough space to accomplish your end goal.
Additionally, we recommend using a maxsize of 1024MB for the files (-maxsize 1024) because of the larger number of counters being collected. We do not recommend exceeding 1024MB as it becomes difficult
to analyze the files past this point. Version 1.4 uses 1024MB as default maxsize for Exchange 2013.
Additional notes
Below are some additional notes that have some operational pieces that needs to be taken in to consideration when running the tool
- If Windows 2003 x64 and –circular switch not specified, then roll log to next log file once maxsize is reached or duration time is hit, whichever one is first.
- If Windows 2008 RTM/SP1/SP2, then roll log every 4 hours. If Interval is set to less than 30 seconds, then roll log every hour.
File Naming Convention
BLG file naming is based on the server name and collection type/roles installed. For example, since "full" collection is default, the default naming convention would be similar to the following:
When using –nofull, a server which had all 3 roles (HUB/CAS/MBX) installed would create files with names similar to the following:
The default location where the BLG files are stored are in the C:\Perflogs directory.
Download and extract the Experfwiz.zip file on the Downloads tab to the scripts directory in the Exchange installation folder.
NOTE: ExPerfWiz is a PS1 script and can be run from any location.
Steps to launch script
- Open the Exchange Management Shell
- Type cd $exscripts
- Type .\experfwiz.ps1 with the appropriate parameters to launch the script.
Before running this script, you must do one or both of the following:
- Set PowerShell's execution policy to Unrestricted using (Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted)
- Files downloaded from the internet using Internet Explorer are automatically blocked from running. Follow the below steps to Unblock this script from

Emmanuel Adebayor is the only new absentee for the game against Everton on Saturday.
The Togolese striker injured his thigh in the Carling Cup tie at West Brom on Tuesday. He is likely to be sidelined for three weeks. Gael Clichy and Philippe Senderos are available to start if required after they came through a full 90 minutes at The Hawthorns however Freddie Ljungberg is still another 10 days away from fitness.
"The only player who is not available from the squad on Sunday and Tuesday is Adebayor," Wenger told Arsenal TV Online on Thursday. "But nobody else is back. Freddie Ljungberg and the other players who are injured have not recovered.
"I still give Freddie another 10 days. It is taking some time because he had a set back on his calf."
Arsenal TV Online subscribers will be able to see the full interview on Friday morning. In it the manager discusses: the Reading and West Brom games, the Carling Cup tie at Everton, facing Andy Johnson this weekend plus new contracts for Cesc Fabregas and Kolo Toure.

Brakes that don't brake
I just bought a '39 Ford 2 Door Sedan streetrod. The car was built about 2 years ago and has a total of 39 miles on the chasis and drive train. The only serious defect with the car is a serious brake problem that has the builder (Tim's Two of Bakersfield, California) and the guys in the local cruise club stumped.
Here are the particulars:
The brakes basically do not work. With the pedal fully depressed, the car will not hold a roll on a 18 degree incline (and we have plenty of those here on the volcano island!).
The set-up is new Corvette discs all around with dual Corvette master cylinders (one for the front and one for the back). The masters are mounted on the frame under the front floor board at a level higher than the 'slave' cylinders.
I have tried all the conventional wisdoms with no improvement (bleed, check the calipers, check the pads, check for leaks). Nothing has helped.
I'm told the next thing I should try is pressure valves. Most agree I should add residual valves. I've had equal input pro and con on also installing proportioning valves. What do you think and if you agree with that being the next logical thing to try, where is the best location to install them (before or aft of the m/c? how far?
Any and all input is appreciated.
Mahalo en da kina tanks (pidgin for Thank You Very Much)!

What is the master cylinder set-up? Are you using two master cylinders? How are they plumbed? Problem sounds like insufficient fluid pressure in the calipers.
Brakes that don't brake
Aloha 'advanced design",
The system includes two new 1995 Corvette master cylinders. I think they are 7/8" pistons. They are frame mounted on each side of the chasis below the level of the calipers and under the front floorboard.
Yesterday I was told they may be too close to the exhaust pipe (about 2" clearance) and that heating of the brake fluid could contribute to loss of disk brake efficiency. However, the brakes seem equally ineffective when I first start the car as after it's run a while. To be on the prudent side, I plan to fabricate and install heat shields. Before doing that, I want to find out more about the proportioning/residual pressure valve I may need to add to the system. If that valve can or should be installed near the master cylinders, then my guess is that the heat shields should be made long enought to protect both.
Thanks for the quick response. It's 4 am here in Hawaii and I'm in the garage trying to figure out my dilema.
I agree with you the heating of the fluid is not causing the problem. You need residual pressure valves - 2 lb - for the disc brakes. There may be other factors regarding the two m/c's but the most likely issue is the lack of the residual valves.
Enjoy Thanksgiving in paradise. A buddy of mine lives there and sent me a note with pictures last night.
The first thing I would do is lose one of your master cylinders and replace the other with a single dual reservoir master cylinder. Then I would install a residual valve in each line between the master cylinder and calipers (somewhere near the master cylinder if possible). I would also add a proportioning valve as shown below. If you keep all brake lines at least 3-4 inches away from the exhaust you shouldn't have any more problems.
Your system should look like this for a setup using front and rear disks:
is teh pedal assembly fabricated or store bought ?
if its owner/ shop fabbed, the pedal throw might be off, and that would mean that the MC's dont build enough pressure
So, you didn't say, is the pedal low or high? Amount of pedal travel? Power brakes, manual? Pedal ratio?
I agree with 86ing the two 'vette masters. Use either one tandem master, or 2 single port masters. I would also be interested in the particulars of the current plumbing.
Tandem masters add to pedal travel because the front piston is a slave to the rear, so using all 4 ports of 2 tandem masters could easily cause a low pedal. If you blocked the front ports, and T'd the rear port lines to each respective axle, that would be better than nothng.
Also, late model Corvette masters I've seen have a proportioning valve integrated to the rear brakes at the front port. This valve reduces output pressure to that circuit.
no brakes
I have built my own street rod and had the same problem. Turned out the floorboard itself was stopping the brake peddle from going all the way down. Crawl under the care and watch the peddle action while someone else steps on the brake peddle, to see if you have enough floor board clearance. I used one dual master cylinder from a 69 corvette, installed a 2lb residual valve close to the master cylinder on each line and nothing else. That brake set up will throw you thru the windshield in a sudden stop if you don't have your seat belt on.
how about some pictures
loose the duel master
what happens if you bleed the system?
does it flow free
if you open the bleeder and push the pedal down are you getting fluid out?
are you getting enough VOLUME of fluid to make the system work??

Brakes that don't brake
Pedal is low with about 4", 90% travel. System includes a booster. I don't know anything about pedal ratio. The masters are not in tandem. They are mounted one on each side of the frame. One goes to the front disks the other to the back disks. I changed the masters to single chamber (GMs) yesterday with little or no change. I bled the system but did not have time to do much else (the turkey was waiting). It's 4 am here in Hawaii and I'm at it again, but I may not be able to do much until I find a residual/proportioning set up I can install without major mods (space is limited). Any ideas where to shop for valves?
There are a number of providers. I am sure Ralph at ECI would be able to steer you straight on this issue. http://www.ecihotrodbrakes.com/
Brakes That Don't Brake
Dudes, this brake thing is cutting into my tennis time and my beer money!
I spent most of the day today replacing the two masters cylinders with a new 95 Chevy dual chamber master. The folks at Napa said that cylinder has a built in proportioning valve. I left everything else as it was including the blue 2# residual valve that was already in line to the rear. Well, guess what? THE CHANGE WAS LITTLE OR NO IMPROVEMENT! Also, the new master cylinder is even closer to the exhaust than the two masters that were there before. (Makes me wonder if that's why they used the two smaller units when they built this baby?)
Ok, so for the next thing to try, her's my question. The disk/disk diagram in one of Centerline's replies shows residual pressure valves to both the front and the rear. Is not having that second residual valve on the line to the front disks part of my problem?
Wrong Master Cylinder
In your original post you stated that you had disk brakes on all 4 wheels. A proportioning valve is used on a disk, drum set up not on a disk, disk set up. A proportioning valve is used on the rear drums to decrease the rate of pressure to the drums to keep the rear brakes from locking up under hard brake conditions. You still have the wrong master cylinder on the car. If you get a new master cylinder (not rebuilt) for a 1969 Corvette, and put a 2 lb residual valve on both the front and rear lines close to the master cylinder, your brake pedal has enough floor clearance to go all the way down and all the way back up, you have bled the system of air, and your calipers are working properly with the bleeder valve in the up position, I guarantee you that will work. I have installed this set up on several street rods and every one has worked great with no problems. (Bench bleed the master cylinder before putting it in the car)
If it is going to be a lot of trouble to re-rout your exhaust away from the master cylinder you might have to install a heat shield between the master cylinder and the exhaust pipe.

Mich bow hunt
Well after a week of hunting I took a nice doe and that was it. With three of us hunting this was not good. My buddy that lives there didn't see a deer the whole week. My Ohio buddy had a small doe come in and that was it. I let a small spike walk also. The camps are all reporting little to no deer on their trail cams and contend it's all wolves taking the deer. I will say the deer numbers are very low in the Marquette county area we hunted. Between the bears, coyotes, and wolves, and a bad late spring, the deer have been hit hard. The Muzzy did it's job as always!
Congratulations HM !!! :thumbup:

Meta bug for USB Implementation on B2G
Comment 1•
6 years ago
Story so far: - WebUSB is somewhat implemented but currently without a lead dev, jstraus is checking with jorendorff about linux status. - gal is checking out how android implements USB without libusb, is worried about licensing - jstraus has libusb built for gonk
Comment 2•
6 years ago
jorendorff replied that he ended up never working on WebUSB. He was working on game controllers and didn't need to talk directly to the USB. May be completely orphaned? Added the original WebUSB bug to this to keep track of it.
Comment 3•
5 years ago
Some clarifications: - Bug 674718 seems to be around "usb host" implementation. For a phone, shouldn't acting as a "usb gadget" be considered, too? - The implementation for windows and mac are notifications when a usb device is plugged/unplugged. On gonk this would be receiving uevent. Generic usb programmng is still to be implemented. - libusb is for usb host implementation. For gadget implementation we might need something like "libusb-gadget". - If there is concern using libusb, then we may implement it on our own (it doesn't seem to be a very heavy layer of implementation) by opening the device file and perform ioctl calls.

Among the ranks of furloughed federal workers, a VIP name: Sam Kass, the photogenic White House assistant chef who doubles in an out-front role as a food policy advisor.
Kass revealed Tuesday during an interview with food reporters that he is one of the staffers who will lose several days of work, reports AP, as part of the sweeping budget cuts that come with the sequester.
Kass, who worked for the Obamas in Chicago as a private chef, joined the White House staff under Executive Chef Cristeta Comerford in 2009 and serves as a point person on healthy eating iniatives, often accompanying the first lady in her public events crusading against childhood obesity. He said that work won't be affected.

Hungary swears in Socialist PM
The Hungarian parliament has approved Socialist Peter Medgyessy as the head of the country's fourth government of the post-communist era.
The new prime minister and his coalition government, comprising the Socialists and Free Liberals, took the oath of office some five weeks after a fierce election campaign which divided the country along left and right camps.
The Socialist-led coalition has a narrow 10-seat majority in the 386-seat house over the ousted right-wing coalition of former Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Following his defeat, an estimated 500,000 people gathered in Budapest to show their support for the ejected leader.
Mr Medgyessy, a former foreign minister and financial expert, has said he will work hard to overcome the divisions which still linger following last month's election, but the BBC's Nick Thorpe in Budapest says that it will not be an easy task.
Economic changes
Since the poll, the incoming Socialists and Liberals and the ejected Conservatives have continued their war of words, and Mr Orban will not even be allowed an office in the new parliament.
But our correspondent says there will be significant differences in economic and social policy.
The new government is proposing a new social contract with the poor, offering more financial support to low-income families, and greater assistance to young couples.
The minimum wage will not be taxed, and there will be a 50% pay rise for those working in the health, education and public administration sectors later this year.
The coalition has also promised to create up to 400,000 new jobs.
Mr Orban has formed a fresh coalition of opposition forces following his defeat.
The new movement, which gathers together several right-wing groups, is modelled on Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia, and correspondents say it is likely to be dubbed "Go Hungary!".

It is the first time Saban has landed multiple five-star cornerbacks in the same class (Tony Brown).
Thanks for everyone that has supported me this far I'm happy to say I am committed to the University of Alabama!! #RollTide— Fruit PUNCH (@marlon_humphrey) January 29, 2014
The Hoover (Ala.) prospect, and son of former Alabama and NFL running back Bobby Humphrey, was down to Florida State, UCLA and Mississippi State in addition to the Crimson Tide. At 6-foot, 175 pounds, he is ranked as the No. 4 cornerback prospect in the class of 2014 and the No. 30 overall prospect int he country.
"I'm just looking for a place where I'll have fun playing and enjoy my four years of football," Humphrey said earlier this month. "I just want to find a place I can enjoy life, play football, get a good education and be around people that will make me a better guy, not just a better football player."
The No. 3 prospect in the state also plans to run track at Alabama, something Saban has already assured him he can do while on scholarship.
Alabama's top-ranked recruiting class on Scout.com now consists of six five-stars. Check out the commitment list HERE.

The Town of Marana and the Town of Oro Valley have approved Christmas bonuses for employees this year.
The Oro Valley Council approved $64,000 for 338 employees, and the Town of Marana approved $124,148.50.
The Town of Marana is giving regular employees who were hired before June 30, 2010 a $450 bonus. Employees hired between July 1, 2010 and June 30 of this year are slated to receive $300.
In a statement, the Marana officials said, "The Town of Marana has not been positioned to grant annual merit-based pay increases over the last three years, including the current fiscal year. Since that time, living expenses, health insurance premiums and pension contributions have increased, leaving employees with less disposable income. In recognition of work contributions employees continue to make to the Town, a one-time lump sum pay increase is being granted to eligible employees for fiscal year 2011-2012."
The Town of Oro Valley approved a smaller bonus for employees that will be in the form of Oro Valley Dollars, which will allow employees to spend the money at any of the 40 participating businesses.
Full-time employees will received a $200 Oro Valley gift card, and part-time employees will receive $100.
Greg Caton, Oro Valley Town Manager, said by not filling vacant positions, the town will be saving more than $700,000 in payroll expenses this year.
"There have been no compensation increases for several years, but many of our employees have taken on added duties," Caton said.

ULM Water Ski Team places first in 2013 ULL Fleur de Ski Tournament
The University of Louisiana at Monroe Water Ski Team celebrated its latest victory at the 2013 University of Louisiana at Lafayette Fleur de Ski Water Ski Tournament on April 20 in Zachary.
Treina Landrum, ULM Director of Recreational Services and ULM Water Ski Team Coach, said, "ULL's Water Ski Team continues to be one of our fiercest competitors. We take both their talent and desire to win seriously. Our victory at the ULL Fleur de Ski Tournament inspires us to work even harder to be ready for the fall 2013 competition season as we strive to win our 25th National Championship."
ULM's Water Ski Team won its 24th national championship in October 2012.
The combined team results are as follows:
ULM scored a total of 1,730.01 points in the Slalom competition; 1,570.02 in the Trick competition, and 1,610.01 in the Jump competition, for an overall score of 4,915 points. ULM bested second place ULL by 110 points.
Landrum said, "Our kids did a good job, excellent skiing for this time of year... The men's jump competition at the tournament was truly memorable. Our men were giving jump performances that I have never seen so early in the competition season."

The earthquake triggered powerful tsunami waves that reached heights of up to 40.5 metres (133 ft) in Miyako in Tōhoku's Iwate Prefecture, and which, in the Sendai area, travelled up to 10 km (6 mi) inland. The earthquake moved Honshu 2.4 m (8 ft) east and shifted the Earth on its axis by estimates of between 10 cm (4 in) and 25 cm (10 in).
Uncertainty grew Tuesday over the timing of the possible restart of the idled Oi nuclear power plant in Fukui Prefecture, as Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Yukio Edano backed off from an earlier remark and the administration did not make any decision during a Cabinet meeting later in the day.
On Monday, Edano told the Diet he had safety concerns and was opposed to restarting the Oi plant's reactors 3 and 4, which have been stopped in the wake of the crisis at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant.
But on Tuesday, Edano said he will now refrain from discussing his view on whether to restart the reactors. During a news conference, Edano said he just glanced at a safety report on the plant and "didn't totally understand" the content as of Monday.
But he had clearly said he was opposed to restarting the Oi reactors. Edano told the Upper House Budget Committee that the government needs understanding of "locals" to restart any reactors, and it has not yet gained understanding of the governors of Kyoto and Shiga prefectures.

On 4/5/2012, due to a worsening component cooling water system leak on Unit 2, it was necessary to bring the unit down to Mode 3 to implement repairs. Upon down power, when Unit 2 transitioned below 85 percent power, the ability of the SSF to perform its design function, in consideration of the information above, could not be confirmed and the SSF was declared inoperable for Unit 2.
Currently, there is no conclusive information that would support SSF operability while Unit 2 is below 85 percent power. As such, this event is being conservatively reported under 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B), 'The nuclear plant being in an unanalyzed condition that significantly degrades plant safety.' Due to their current power levels, this condition does not affect Units 1 and 3.

Per nuclide! Internally. In enough time and concentration, you are walking dead. 'NRC shuffles the joker back up the sleeve'
Click table 1, 2 3 etc to access emission limit tables for the biggest list of radionuclides I've ever seen. It's bigger than wikipedia and all the rest, that's for sure!
Convert uCi/ml to Litres by X1000.
E.g. Cs137 in water 1e-6X1000 = 2.478µCi per litre of water. All day. Every day.
Lets look at strontium, one of our favourites: 5E-7x1000 = 4.559µCi per litre of water. All season. Every year. Per licensee. I haven't touched the air emission levels, don't want to scare you all
Funny how they love using the smallest practical units like tepcon.
No doubt tomorrow it will be updated to nanocuries per quajiggalitre to confuse us mere simpletons further.
In summary it appears a slow motion Fukushima has been occurring since we first ever used these terrible machines. I knew of some releases of noble gasses, didn't expect everything to be coming out though.
But why wouldn't it come with the rest anyway? They can't filter the water/air completely with civilian technology, no matter what.
This helps explain how cancer rates stayed so high, even after 1960s atmospheric fallout declined until Fukushima. They leak everything we have been looking at and more, continuously. Dan Hirsch admitted that some reactors often breach these limits too.
No doubt tomorrow it will be updated to nanocuries per quajiggalitre to confuse us mere simpletons further.
[color=Cyan]The monthly average concentrations for release to sanitary sewers are applicable to the provisions in § 20.2003.
The concentration values were derived by taking the most restrictive occupational stochastic oral ingestion ALI and dividing by 7.3 x 106(ml).
The factor of 7.3 x 106(ml) is composed of a factor of 7.3 x 105(ml), the annual water intake by "Reference Man," and a factor of 10, such that the concentrations, if the sewage released by the licensee were the only source of water ingested by a reference man during a year, would result in a committed effective dose equivalent of 0.5 rem.

The dysprosium in monazite and bastnasite is first converted to dysprosium trifluoride (DyF3). The compound then reacts with calcium metal to obtain pure dysprosium:"
Dysprosium has a tendency to soak up neutrons, which are tiny particles that occur in atoms and are produced in nuclear reactions. Metal rods (control rods) containing dysprosium are used in nuclear reactors to control the rate at which neutrons are available.

Very little is known about the health effects of dysprosium.

Deep-Sea Robots Sleep On Ocean Floor Until Needed
The U.S. Government is developing mission-critical pods to lie dormant at sea until activation.
Over 70 percent of the Earth's surface is covered by water. Of this, over 95 percent is in the oceans. With the Earth being nearly 25,000 miles around, that's a lot of surface area to cover. So how can the U.S. Navy respond with real-time help while bridging the vast distances?
Easy: deep-sea robots.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is currently seeking proposals for work on a project dubbed 'Upward Falling Payloads.' Essentially, the program is looking to develop 'deployable, unmanned, distributed systems that lie on the deep-ocean floor in special containers for years at a time,' until they are awoken and recalled to the surface (or 'fall upwards'). With an increasing strain on military resources, DARPA is looking for an initiative that doesn't rely on expensive 'legacy ships' and platforms.
The goal is to be able to hide these 'sleeping' robots around the globe in order to facilitate an easier, faster, and more effective tactical response for U.S. operations and logistics. With 'almost half' of the Earth's oceans being more than two and a half miles deep, hiding robotic pods shouldn't be a problem. However, recalling them to the surface may be.
The key areas of need covered in the agency announcement for 'Upward Falling Payloads' are to:
demonstrate a system that can: (a) Survive for years under extreme pressure, (b) Reliably be triggered from standoff commands, and (c) Rapidly rise through the water column and deploy a non-lethal payload.
The DARPA announcement calls on those with backgrounds in 'unmanned platforms,' 'distributed sensors,' and 'anti-submarine warfare,' among others. DARPA has laid out more explicitly what they're envisioning from the project, but plenty is still left up to the imagination:
Depending on the specific payload, systems would provide a range of non-lethal but useful capabilities such as situational awareness, disruption, deception, networking, rescue, or any other mission that benefits from being pre-distributed and hidden. An example class of systems might be small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that launch to the surface in capsules, take off and provide aerial situational awareness, networking or decoy functions.
A 'Proposers' Day' will be held later this week on January 25th for U.S. contractors to learn more about the project.
This program could prove significant for payloads whose deployment is time sensitive. Plus, with engineers 'from the telecom and oil-exploration industry' onboard with proposals, we're wondering how long it'll be before we can get a deep-sea robot of our own.

Dancing is a social hobby, much like playing sports and drafting amendments to the city charter. Build social and rhythmic skills with this Groupon.
Choose Between Three Options
- $25 for six group dance classes (a $90 value)
- $49 for one month of dance classes (a $114 value)
- $60 for two private, choreographed wedding dance lessons (a $150 value)

Dance styles include salsa, fox trot, waltz, tango, swing, rumba, and cha-cha. Dancers must pre-register for classes within their skill level. Group classes are progressive, meaning that classes start at the beginning of each month and get more advanced throughout the rest of the month, building on knowledge gained in the previous class. If you miss a class you can make it up in a private lesson or make it up in a repeat session of that class. See the full schedule of classes here. Alternatively, specialized wedding dance instructors help couples create a dance that fits the theme of their wedding in private classes.

I watched the first couple of seasons of Orange County, maybe a season and a half of New York and a few episodes of Season 1 of NJ. Too much catty drama. I need an actual storyline to keep my attention.
Orange County:
I actually found all the women likable in their own way. This was way before the drama of Atlanta and NJ. It's like Season 1 of The Real World vs. every other season of The Real World.
For some reason, I like Vicki's high strung, type A, workaholic personality. Maybe because I'm the complete opposite.
New York:
The "Countess" is such a ****ing *****. Can't stand her. Ramona has some issues; she seems a little lost or to be suffering from some sort of illness. ?????

Shower Installation on Concrete Flooring
Good morning:
I'm planning on adding a bathroom in my unfinished basement. Since the floor is concrete, other than the obvious (drain, etc.), do I need to provide additional waterproofing under to the shower floor under the ceramic tile?
Of course you do---are you doing a pan 0r a barrier free walk in?
Thanks for the quick reply. I was planning on doing a pan.
How to build a shower - Building a shower pan with pre-sloped mortar bed, liner and curb.
This is one way--liner --curb and deck mud--
Another is the use of Hydroban by Latacrete---their web site has information on doing it--
If not,I'll check back after work and answers as best I can.
A third method is to remove the entire shower floor area and sculpt a pan into the excavation and Hydroban the floor and walls---
I've done that for handicap showers---
Another option would be to use the schluter kerdi shower kit.
here is a link to the Schulter Shower System (carried by the Big Orange Box Store) http://www.schluter.com/5288.aspx

Caveat: For this list, my primary criterion was as follows: the song cannot just be about heartache or being done wrong. To qualify for this list, a song had to be about getting even in some way, taking pleasure in the fact that things are now going downhill for the target of the song or rejecting a lover who came crawling back.
Motörhead – "Bye Bye Bitch Bye Bye"
Alanis Morissette – "You Oughta Know"
First up on the list is a song about a woman scorned which, as we all know, Hell hath no fury like. The first single and track of Kelly Clarkson's third LP My December, this song marked a venture into a more rock sound for the season one American Idol singer and tells the tale of a woman who has been left behind for another. However, instead of getting sad, the subject of the song uses her rage to funnel into a hate-filled diatribe against the cheating heart in question, asking "Does it hurt, to know I'll never be there? Bet it sucks to see my face everywhere?" There's no sympathy for the other woman either, as she growls, "If she really knows the truth, she deserves you" and "You'll die together, but alone." Word of advice to Miss Clarkson's fiancé: don't piss this one off. Highlighted with a fantastic video where the man in question is slowly driven mad by visions of a ghostly, vengeful Clarkson, this is one of the singer's best and stands out among her catalog of hits for its take-no-prisoners attitude. Anyone who's stuck in the "was it me?" cycle of romantic rejection or betrayal would be well-served to use this song as a piece of advice, namely "You're better off without them."
Normally, getting revenge on one's ex in a song takes a more emotional or karmic bent. In Eminem's case, he took a very…shall we say, different fashion. "Kim" was not a single off of The Marshall Mathers LP, probably for the simple reason that no radio station in its right mind would risk the level of public criticism it would take by playing such a vividly violent song. Easily one of the most controversial tracks in Eminem's already-controversial career, "Kim" is a hate-filled stream-of-consciousness fantasy about murdering his ex-wife Kim while their daughter Hailie is in the vicinity after having slain her husband and stepson. It's actually a rather difficult song to listen to, between the verbal abuse heaped on his wife and the graphic depiction he gives of what's going in the midst of the song. It's perhaps even more disturbing considering how gentle the song begins as Eminem soothes his daughter and then lashes into Kim out of nowhere. Still, one cannot deny the song's raw emotional power and Em is hardly the first person in popular music history to record a violent fantasy track. As it turned out, this ended up being vengeance in a real-life manner as well as a revenge song, as Kim reportedly attempted suicide when she was present for a live performance of the song in Detroit and saw a mock-up effigy of her abused on-stage while the song was performed and the audience shouted their approval. As I said, disturbing but powerful.
I don't listen to country music as a rule. It's just not a genre I have a lot of love for. However, you would have had to be living under a rock not to have heard Underwood's "Before He Cheats," the second song singing about committing a crime over a relationship-gone-bad. No, Carrie doesn't murder her boyfriend in this song the way that Eminem did, but she commits one hell of an act of vandalism by positively wrecking the cheater's "pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive." That felonious chorus follows her imagination about exactly how her straying boyfriend is out having fun with his mistress. This song had some serious crossover appeal upon its release in 2006 and for good reason; it is a simple but very effective and even powerful song about a woman taking matters into her own hands. I wouldn't recommend turning a lover's vehicle into a heap of metal and slashed leather seats over an affair, but I have to appreciate the righteous anger and "screw you" attitude that the song displays. Underwood has joined Clarkson as one of the few true breakout successes in the music industry to come out of American Idol and this song was a huge reason why.
You can't go wrong with the classics. Nancy Sinatra turned this into an enormous hit in 1966, providing a template of female empowerment against unfaithful men that would inspire hundreds of songs after the fact. There's no simpering "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to" pity-party going on here; instead Sinatra's steely voice affects a "Oh, you're in for it now" attitude to the point that you can feel how much she's looking forward to putting down some footprints up and down her poor, doomed cheater's spine. The song's writer/producer Lee Hazelwood reportedly told Sinatra to sing the song as if she was a sixteen-year-old giving the brush-off to a forty-year-old man. So just in case you somehow didn't think the sentiment of the song was a valid one before, now you can. But more than just planning to "walk all over you," Sinatra also points out that she's moved onto someone else who knows more about being with a woman (take that in whatever way you like) than the target of the song has even had time to learn. It's both vindictive and an empowering "I've moved on" song which makes it one hell of a romantic revenge number.
Most people would put probably Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River" on such a list over this one, but for me the karmic factor gives this its edge. Timberlake is possibly the modern master of the relationship revenge song between the two songs. "River" was about Timberlake's breakup with Britney Spears and many assumed that "What Goes Around" was a sequel to that, but Timberlake has said it was actually inspired by a situation that a friend went through. Whatever the case, here Timberlake's response is a bit more vindictive than "Cry Me a River," as the song's subject sings about a woman who he was ready to marry but who strayed. As the song progresses, he notes that, as the title explains, karma will come back to her and immediately the song's break he's explaining how the woman has now been betrayed herself, but he doesn't have any sympathy for her. There's an almost gleeful tone as he sings that part. As he says flat-out, "Girl you got what you deserved." It doesn't hurt that Scarlett Johansson is stunning in the music video but this is about the song, which is one of my absolute favorite songs about payback. Karma really is a bitch, ladies and gentlemen.
Few songs take as blatant of a "go screw yourself, I'm way better off now" attitude as this little piece of vengeance. Written in the wake of Kid Rock's breakup with Pamela Anderson, "Half Your Age" is an in-your-face country-esque song about how he may not be with Miss Baywatch anymore, but he's got someone who, as the song says, is "half your age…and twice as hot." This is a song that rubs its target's face in it almost as much as Eminem's "Kim," but replacing flat-out disturbing serial killer-like attributes with a sense of fun. See, you can be vindictive and not go incredibly dark, folks. Few would ever accuse Rock of being a great songwriter, and truth be told this isn't a "great" song in the critical sense. But in terms of pure post-breakup catharsis it can nary be beaten. Just think about it this way; if a near-fifty year-old Kid Rock can find someone better, then can't anyone?
Leave it to Bob Dylan to take a bitter vengeance song and turn it into taking the high road. Dylan's poetic lyrics are put to great use in "It Ain't Me Babe," a song that is popularly rumored to be about his split with either Joan Baez or, more likely, Suze Rotolo. Whichever the case, Dylan tells the story of a bad breakup where the other party has come back and wants back into his life. Instead of folding and taking her back though Dylan just says, quite simply, "It ain't me, babe…it ain't me you're looking for." This is a song for those who have had a nasty split and are ready to move on; sometimes the best revenge is not taking any pleasure in another's pain and simply laying it all out in a straight-forward manner. Dylan does that with his usual exquisite skill here, never making the shots unnecessarily deep because he knows they don't have to be. It is exactly as painful as it needs to be and nothing more.
For a lot of people–obviously, myself included–Carly Simon wrote the perfect kiss-off to a lover in 1972. The identity of the target for "You're So Vain" has never been identified; Simon has maintained that the song is about "men" as opposed to "a man." So if you ever had sex with Carly Simon before 1972…well, then you're probably not reading this. But if you are…this song may well be about you. Simon explains as the song builds how the target, a clear ladies man, had everything but gave it all away and now he's too busy with "the wife of a close friend." The revenge aspect of this song is more subtle perhaps than the other songs, but it is very clear throughout the song that Simon is past mooning over the man (or men) that inspired this and has become more enlightened, while the man is (or men are) still wrapped up in their own arrogance. As the saying goes, sometimes the best revenge is living well. Simon proves that here.
While it didn't make the list because I try to limit myself to one song per artist for these, you can't deny that Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River" is one hell of a great revenge song. Check it out, and the video (which features a Britney Spears look-alike as the villain) below:

Fri. April 29, 2011 | Steve Lee
GIBSONTON — Underdog Riverview completed its impressive run to the Class 5A, District 8 championship Thursday with a late-inning rally for a 6-1 win over second-ranked Durant.
The Sharks opened the tournament with an extra-inning comeback win over Saladino champion Newsome and beat top-seeded Plant City 3-0 behind Dylan Drawdy's no-hit gem to reach the final.
"We've been a fifth-inning, sixth-inning, seventh-inning team and we just decided we have nothing to lose," coach Bill Leiby said after his first district crown in seven seasons at Riverview.
Drawdy, who had one of three bunt singles in Riverview's five-run sixth, said there was no pressure on the Sharks.
"We didn't have to worry about mistakes because we weren't even supposed to be here," he said.
Trailing 1-0 and limited to three singles by Durant starter Trey Oest, Riverview rallied in the sixth for five runs on six hits and a walk. Mike Botto, Kurt Engert and Drawdy reached on bunt singles and scored. Tommy Ware had a two-run single with Justin Rose and Chris Gauthier adding RBI doubles.
"That's one thing they take pride in," Leiby said. "Everybody in that lineup can bunt and we got three good ones in a row."
Durant's lone run came in the second with Oest hitting a leadoff single and pinch-runner Luke Heyer advancing on an Emilio Ogando double before scoring on a wild pitch.
Spencer Andrews, who started at third and pitched the final two innings of scoreless relief, added a run-scoring single in the seventh.
Riverview starter Cesar Malave scattered five hits and struck out five through five innings. He departed after walking his first batter in the bottom of the sixth.

Before man learned to ride horses, Western films ended with cowboys jogging into the sunset. Saddle up with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $30 for one group horseback-riding lesson (a $60 value)
- $89 for three group horseback-riding lessons (a $180 value)
Ninety-minute group riding lessons teach English and Western styles with curricula catered to each student's skill level. Lessons can be taken by adults as well as children four and up.
Epona Farms
On a ranch in the country, Epona Farms' trainers share the equestrian spirit with newcomers, youth, and champions-to-be in their indoor arenas and outdoor sand area. Triona Watson, an advanced coach since 1975, draws from her international experience to head up the facility's instructional programs. Her riding curriculum centers on three components: dressage, stadium jumps, and cross-country riding. Along with these focuses, her students learn English and Western styles of riding in an indoor arena and outdoor sand area. As spring turns to summer, Epona's horse whisperers expand their lessons into immersive day camps that teach horsemanship and leadership skills to adolescents, and let the children interact with other animals, such as rabbits and sheep. Younger children may be enchanted by PeeWee Pony School, a program that pairs pintsize novices with appropriate-size steeds to help instill a love for horses and riding at a young age. Additionally, the instructors focus on community outreach and work with special-needs children and young adults.

New lunar robot will work all day, every day
NASA is building an incredible lunar digging robot that could work all day, every day for years. This robot will be as different from the Curiosity rover as night and day, according to a news release from the space agency. While Curiosity has been packed with plenty of delicate scientific instruments for analyzing soil on the red planet, NASA's latest creation will be both sturdy and reliable and contain fewer complex parts.
Called RASSOR, for Regolith Advanced Surface Systems Operations Robot, the robot is years from being ready to work on the moon. However, engineers are already impressed with its abilities.
"We were surprised at what we could do with it," said Rachel Cox, a Kennedy Space Center engineer on the RASSOR team, in a statement.
NASA engineers note that the biggest challenge for any robot digging on the lunar surface is that they have to be small enough to fly on a rocket, but heavy enough to operate in gravity lower than that of Earth.
"The lighter you make your robot, the more difficult it is to do this excavating," said A.J. Nick, an engineer on the RASSOR team, in a statement.
Engineers plan to deal with the issue by giving RASSOR digging bucket drums at each end of the robot's body that rotate in opposite directions.
"We proved that if you engage one bucket, it pulls itself but when you lower the other bucket and rotate it, once they both catch in, it starts digging," Nick said.
Engineers expect the RASSOR to weigh approximately 100 pounds and stand about 2 1/2 feet tall when the drums are positioned above its main body.
The RASSOR's drums will help the robot step and climb over obstacles because they are mounted on moving arms. Engineers expect that the lunar excavator will be able to drive off the lander and right itself, rid itself of built up soil, and make itself into a Z-shaped position to deposit its soil collection in the hopper.
According to NASA, a 25-foot-square area has been cleared in part of the engineers' workshop to make room for a large delivery of soil that will allow the robot to be put through its paces in material close to what it will encounter on the moon.

After One Piece hit the psychological barrier of four-million copies on the first print run of Volume 64, it cruised at that level for Volumes 65 and 66. But now demand must have picked up a bit more because the new first print run for Volume 67 is now 4,050,000 copies. Shueisha noted that it seems the reader base had expanded even more.
Yes, we all know that One Piece is a phenomenon, but before you get too bored with the news, remember that the largest first-run printing in the English language is reported to be Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire which had an initial print run of 4.8 million copies (3.8 mil in the U.S., and 1 mil in the U.K.). Since the overwhelming majority of the sales of One Piece manga is to customers in Japan, and since Japan has only half the population of the U.S. alone, those are pretty impressive numbers.
Will you be joining four million of your closest friends to read One Piece Vol. 67?

For my first diary entry, I've been tagged by Paku - the Coffee Table King from Texas!
The object of this game of tag is to learn some more things about your friends. You are supposed to list 7 things about yourself and post it in your diary. Then pick 7 friends to pass it on to and have them do the same thing.
Here are my 7 things about myself -
1) Everyone thinks I'm Daddy's boy but I'm really A Momma's Boy! I love to snuggle with mom and I give her kisses (which I am usually stingy with) but don't tell Dad!
2) I let Shiloh think he rules the roost but actually - it's me! I mean...it's Sweetie!
3) I love to climb on Mom's head and sniff her hair.
4) I hate getting my feet wet but I will go swimming in the pool!
5) Clip my nails - I'll rip your hand off!
6) I run the B-500 every night at 8:30pm - you can set your watch!
7) I give Shiloh "ugly face" when I think he's getting too much attention. Then he growls at me and has to get time out! Now Mom says I get time out too - I don't understand - I didn't do anything! I was just sitting there!
The pups I'm tagging are:
1) Sukeena (343264)
2) Phoebe (421883) Barooooooo!
3) Twister (506286)
4) Bow (920421)
5) Wolfgang (804896)
6) Sultan (892544)
7) Big Lug (861390) aka Shiloh

American Pie Number One On This Day In 1972 [VIDEO]
On this day in 1972, "American Pie" by Don McLean hit number one on the U.S. Top 40 chart and stayed there for four weeks! Here's a local connection. I saw Don McLean on stage at the Utica Memorial Auditorium back in 1971, singing that song before it became a hit.
McLean was the opening act for Blood, Sweat & Tears, singing a number of songs he had written, including "American Pie". I was a DJ at a top 40 radio station in Utica at the time, and when McLean sang his long version of the song, an another announcer from the station said to me, "Hey, that's going to be a hit". He later asked our program director if he could play it on his radio show. He got the OK, and then stations all over the country began playing it.
The song was so unique; telling the story of "the day the music died", based on an airplane crash that killed rock 'n rollers Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and "The Big Bopper" in 1959. The lyrics were all in metaphor, and I recall reading magazine articles about the song with writers trying to figure out what the words meant.
By the way, I recall that once Blood, Sweat & Tears hit the stage, David Clayton Thomas broke a guitar on the very first song he played, "Go Down Gamblin'".
Let's watch Don McLean perform his breakout hit, "American Pie".
