by SierraI have already written about the ways that growing up in fundamentalist-evangelical culture made me especially vulnerable to covert incest from my father. There is a flip side to the father-daughter craze in Christian patriarchy, though. I am here to bring you two stories: and one of them isn't about me!In what would have been my high school years, a miracle happened. Sven, my best friend from my early childhood, came back to my church. We were fourteen. We had been estranged for about three years while his family lived in another state. But we quickly reconnected (not least due to my idealistic hopes that we could pick up where we left off, and some aggressive b … [Read more...]
Emotional Incest: The Mama's Boy and the Other Woman
Authoritarian Parenting and Emotional Repression
by LatebloomerI have a lot of respect for my dad. He's thoughtful and generous to all of us. His constant reading makes him an interesting and well-informed conversationalist. He makes his life decisions very carefully, yet never looks down on me for making different decisions than him. Instead, he tells me all the time that he loves and misses me, and that he's proud of who I've become. I feel so lucky to have him as my dad.Unfortunately, we have not always gotten along so well. Less than ten years ago, our relationship had been almost completely destroyed thanks to the authoritarian parenting techniques of the fundamentalist Christian homeschooling culture. Authoritarian parenting … [Read more...]
Thirtyone – Adventures in Recovery
by CaluluI was driving around the other day running a few errands and when I got back to my car I caught the tail end of a some random preacher speaking about the proper role of women in The Kingdom on local Christian radio. I didn't catch his name or the name of his ministry or sponsor but his message was loud and clear and made my blood boil. Bulls eye. Trigger hit. Buttons pushed.He started off speaking on the subject of what his ten year old daughter wanted to be when she grew up. She's crazy for gymnastics and he asked her that question about the future we all contemplate, what did she want to be when she grew up. Her answer to that question was that she would be a gymnastics … [Read more...]
Homeschooled Girls and Trash Cans: The Social Isolation of Homeschooling
by LatebloomerWhat do homeschooled girls and trash cans have in common? They both only leave the house once a week. This joke was well-received among homeschooled youth because it rang true for so many of us. For almost all of my teen years, church was the only social activity that I engaged in, the only time during the whole week that I might have a chance to interact with people who were not my immediate family. Making friends in that context, especially as a shy teen girl, seems daunting. However, I had an even greater obstacle to deal with: I was not allowed to participate in youth group.My parents were absolutely terrified of teenage rebellion. Thanks to various … [Read more...]
Debunking the Fourteen Basic Needs of a Marriage: Part 1b – Women? Goals? Who Are YOU Kidding!
By Incongruous CircumspectionIn Part 1a, we witnessed Bill Gothard call a woman who does not obey her husband in everything, never questioning any decision he makes, a "fool". He based this epithet on a woman while referencing Ephesians 5:22 - 24. Of course, I uncovered the fact that Bill was flat out lying. That passage says nothing of the sort.Let's continue discussing Gothard's first Basic Need of a Husband ([A man needs a wife that is loyal and supportive]).Gothard continues to expound on the above basic need by stating the following:[Realize that your husband's perspective is different than yours.]Wow. Bill is really smart. Put two or more people together and you h … [Read more...]
Good Intentions, Bad Fruit
by LatebloomerI heard the stories so many times as I was growing up, the reasons for my parents' decision to pull me out of public school halfway through first grade and start to homeschool me. I heard how I cried every day when my mom dropped me off at school. I heard how I was bored in class because I had learned to read at age 3, long before going to kindergarten. I heard how my teacher was wasting classroom time on political issues by having the class write a letter about saving some whales. I heard how the teacher hurt my feelings badly by insulting my quiet speaking voice during a presentation. I heard how I had the problem boy as my seatmate because I was the best behaved student. … [Read more...]
Why Courtship Fails: A Male's Perspective
by The GraduateAs a young man in my early twenties who grew up in conservative homeschool circles, I was excited to return home after spending four years in a Christian college. I had very little experience in dating and hadn't been in a relationship in college, but I had a good degree and a solid career lined up in front of me. My parents were excited too, because they hoped that I would be able to easily find a bride among the many single homeschool girls my family knew. I was a willing participant to their plans, but I soon found out that even with the right credentials, it was still impossible for me to come against homeschool patriarchy and perfectionism.According to Bill G … [Read more...]
The Formula Problem: Why Duggarizing Your Marriage is Not Recommended
by Incongruous CircumspectionBaking is one of my favorite pastimes. I make a killer banana bread. I love baking cookies and many times, like Marie Barone, bake a cake just because. I follow recipes very closely but always add vanilla even if it is not called for. I can follow those recipes to the letter for one simple reason - I live 900 feet above sea level.Those who live 2500 feet above sea level cannot enjoy the ease of baking I take for granted. When a recipe calls for a certain amount of flour, they have to add a bit more of the liquid ingredients. If baking powder is needed, the elevated baker must reduce the amount by as much as half.

Snipped! – Part 3: Marital Problems
by Incongruous CircumspectionWhen I was about 7 years old, my parents realized that they were having marital problems. My father knew there was a problem long before this, but he was now ready to do something about it. They began the process of looking for a marriage counselor. They found many. They went to many. But it was always the same song and dance.The marriage counselor would begin by getting the story of their marriage from both parties and then begin speaking to my father about what he could do to improve himself. My dad, being a humble and loving gentleman, was more than happy to take sole ownership of the repairing of the marriage, but knew that doing this would only … [Read more...]

Compression stockings are essential to your leg health. If they don't fit well, it could become a big problem for keeping your legs healthy. Fit is such an important part of wearing compression stockings that you should always ask yourself how they're fitting. The following are 4 easy ways you can tell if you compression stockings fit poorly.
Your compression stockings should never be painful to wear. If they hurt, this is a sign that you are wearing a size that is too small or you're wearing a compression that's too strong. Check your size by taking new measurements of your legs. Look at the sizing charts to make sure that your measurements still fits properly within the sizing range. Then check to see if the level of compression of your stockings is appropriate. Talk to your doctor about what level of compression you should wear. Also, identify where the pain is coming from. If your toes hurt, consider wearing an open toe style so that your feet are not being squeezed. If an area behind your knee hurts, check to see that your stockings are not bunching up behind your knee.
If your compression stockings are sliding down, check to see that the size is not too large. Sometimes as swelling reduces in your leg, the compression stockings may get looser and you'll need to get another size. If you've been wearing your compression stockings for over 5-6 months, then it may be time to get a new pair. Compression stockings do wear out over time. In order to maintain the proper compression that's being applied to your legs, it's important to always wear compression stockings that have not lost their elasticity. Also check out these tips for if your compression stockings are falling down: http://www.legsmart.com/blogs/resources/6910696-my-compression-stockings-keep-falling-down-what-should-i-do
Compression stockings should never bunch up when you're wearing them. That's an indication that they're too long for you. Compression stockings usually come in 2 different lengths, a regular length and a short length. If your legs measures into a short length and you wear a regular length compression stocking, you'll notice extra material when you pull them all the way up your leg. This bunching can cause the material to roll and form a tourniquet on your leg.
If your compression stockings are not controlling the swelling in your legs, then it might be that you're not wearing the right size or you're not wearing the right level of compression. If you're in a size that's too big for you, then you may not be getting enough compression from your stocking. Check your sizing to make sure that your measurements still fit within the sizing ranges. Check your prescription or ask your doctor if the level of compression is right for you.
If you're trying to put on a compression stocking and they don't even go on your foot, you might have a compression stocking that's way to small for you. Check the size on the stocking and check your measurements. It's easy to accidentally get the wrong size.
Be sure to contact the LegSmart Customer Care Team if you have more questions about sizing and fit.
If your compression stockings are sliding down, check to see that the size is not too large. They are to big for you.
Hi dear,
I have just buy my compression stocking 2 days ago here in panda pharmacy hong kong. But the problem when I wear it it keeps sliding down into my legs. Wat should I do? Do you have an idea about this problem?
Thanks a lot…

That turned out sweet as hell!!
Fantastic job on it.
oh, man... I'm drooling all over my desk here... that helmet is amazing!
I wish I had your skills man. That really is a piece of art. :thumbup
darn I thought there was an update on the armor...
I'd love to own that with a clonetrooper armor in white and green, that would rock. The visor would look good to.
I should have an armor update on Sunday. I just threw out last weeks work. I had a nearly completed chest piece but I've decided to go with a different design. Up untill now I was too closely following the Republic Commando style. I've decided to scap it all together and start fresh. The new armor will have some definete Fett characteristics built into it.Zeever Fett said:
I do have a completed Ab plate that I've decided to still use at this point.
You won't give me the nearly completed chest armor will you? No seriously.
good to hear, I definately look forward to seeing your progress!
Something similar to this might look nice with that helmet.
Bah! You can't put Canderous on the light side of the Force!Talos Starkiller said:
Nice job Marrow. Start to finish. I really like the paint weathering detail, and the pinstripe groove from the edge of the eyes.
Great work!!
:thumbup :thumbup :thumbup
dude that looks awesome!!! nice job!!
oh my god...this has to be one of the best buckets ive ever seen...when i saw it my face went liek this well done!!!!!!
Very, Very, Very............... Nice....... nothing more needed to say....
i cant belive i hadnt seen this post...its lk ages old, but hey...i see it now...now i just have to hope i stop drooling soon lol (that is one fine looking bucket.............drool)
I believe that only one was made, and the helmet in the photo was sold on ebay about 6-7 months ago.
nooooooooooooooooooooo...i would have sooooooooo bought that if id have seen it...ah well...its still an amazing looking bucket
I totally agree this helmet is awesome, not a word i use lightly.
I just wanted to bump this up so that the new people that haven't been around the site could see what an awesome custom bucket can look like with a little vision and hard work. Maybe get the creative juices flowing. Marrow, did you ever make armor to go with this amazing helmet?
That... is just... unbelievably awesome!!!
That's one mean Buy'ce you got there!
It had exactly the effect you were expecting.
I'm pretty new here and it sure got my creative juice flowing. So I'll be trying out some of this new inspiration shortly on my own bucket : )
Which is a good thing... my armor design evolved a lot from the design I had in mind when I started drawing it up to now where I started building it... which should be the same with the bucket - I'll try to get that custom "feel", that's all in the armor now, into the helmet.
Thanks again
As with everything else I've seen you do, that is amazing.

I'm not a big movie-goer," admits designer Richard Keith Langham with a laugh. "It's one addiction I don't have." Langham's lack of interest in filmdom hadn't posed a problem until Academy Award–winning actress Hilary Swank and her husband, actor Chad Lowe, walked through his door looking for help with their first New York apartment. "They got my name through a mutual friend, who produced Boys Don't Cry—a movie I hadn't seen. But I blustered my way through, congratulating her on her performance," recalls Langham. "Fortunately, we got along like gangbusters—Hilary is full of spirit and fire.
"Finally, three weeks later, she turned to me and said, You haven't seen my film, have you?' I said, No. I only watch movies about rich people—that's my criterion. But I've got the tape.'
" You do not.'
" You're right, but my neighbor does,' and I ran across the hall and got it. Hilary curled up at the foot of my bed and zipped me through her favorite parts. Afterward I said, You return this. Say you're from Blockbuster and tell him, Don't forget to rewind.' So she did, and when my neighbor opened the door and saw an Oscar winner standing there, he nearly had a heart attack."
It wouldn't be the last moments of mirth for Langham and his two show business clients, who—having sold their Los Angeles house a mere hour after putting it on the market—were thrilled to be making Manhattan their new home base. "We spent so much time in New York and Europe that we finally decided just to move here to be closer to Paris and Italy," says Swank, "and because the city is so inspiring. New York is its own person, with its own personality."
Their enthusiasm, it seems, was infectious. "Chad and Hilary were so excited to be taking on this city," remembers Langham. "It was definitely the right moment in their lives to come here. Your heart beats faster in New York."
Especially when you find a place you love, which they instantly did, snapping up the first space they saw—a loft in Chelsea that Lowe says met "all our requirements," starting with ample space for their vast menagerie, including creatures both furred and feathered. "Noah's ark," says their designer, "with one half of each couple missing." But the pair were also after light—and lots of it. "We needed a southern exposure," says Lowe, "as well as views of the west because Hilary and I both love sunsets."
With those details assured, Langham faced even greater problems. "The space was a wreck. There was all this white drywall, exposed pipes and rotten, rusted windows that we replaced with tall, open expanses of plate glass to embrace the view." Their next move was to install a state-of-the-art kitchen—"Hilary cooks and quilts," says Langham—along with a modern staircase leading up to the mezzanine library and den overlooking the living room. "Chad and I love to read and have a big book collection," says Swank. "Part of the apartment's charm was knowing we could build our own little library here."
Though Langham says that he steered his clients toward "a more traditional sensibility—because it's more comfortable—than they might have had," the project turned out to be "a big collaboration. Doing your first apartment is like scaling a wall that you've never climbed before," he says. "You're shocked at the cost and the layering it takes to produce and organize a room. But Chad and Hilary were quick studies. They were involved in every placement, hanging every picture."
A proclivity that came rather naturally, according to the actress. "Being artists lends itself to a certain creativity," explains Swank. "Chad and I are very much in touch with our instincts; we're used to seeing something and going, That's it.' "
Those same instincts came into play for their color palette. "For inspiration, all we had to do was look outside our windows," says Lowe. "The colors are right there. We simply chose ones that complemented the wonderful views." In their bedroom, for instance, the buff-colored walls are linked to the "faded wood of two old water towers" that are visible from the apricot-highlighted room. "The apricot," adds Swank, "complements a nearby building of gorgeous peach and maroon brick"—a color that Langham carried over into the master bath, whose walls are covered in boysenberry glass tiles. "It feels like you're inside a bottle," the designer pauses, " . . . of bourbon."
Besides being "beautiful and cozy," the couple's apartment has a dual function. "It's important for us to feel creative in our apartment—to be surrounded by colors and objects we like—because we not only live but work here," says Swank. "We don't leave or go to an office—unless it's to a location to film."
Their unusual closeness—already firmly established by their near-decade relationship—became even more concrete in the making of what Langham calls "their first fully appointed apartment."
"Being together for nine years, you learn to trust each other," says Lowe. "Doing this apartment only solidified that. If Hilary had a strong instinct, we went with it—and vice versa. In a relationship you have to learn to work together; here, we did that really well."
Swank and Lowe are equally united when it comes to their ongoing love affair with New York—despite having lived there during the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. The now demolished Twin Towers once served as the focal point of the loft's expansive downtown views. "Hilary and I would just sit on the couch, watching the sun play off the towers during the day and the lights at night. We loved them," remembers Lowe.
The morning of the attacks, the newly minted New Yorkers stood at their windows, watching in horror as their cherished landscape changed before their eyes. "We felt like everybody else, sick to our stomachs," says Hilary Swank. She pauses. "It continues to be somber and sobering."
Though undaunting. If anything, declare the couple, the World Trade Center tragedy only doubled their conviction to stay right where they are. "Before September 11, we were living in New York," says Chad Lowe. "Now we are New Yorkers. It's quite a community."

hello i will really went for you to build a website for me for my business so that i can pay you
Great template- purchasing now… I wonder- can we loose/modify the loader on the Image Show Pro? If you don't have an answer, I am a Gavick member, I can ask in their forums. I have another site with this version of Image Show Pro on it- but I hadn't thought about removing the loader until now.
I do have one major gripe with this template… The last time I developed on one of your templates this drove me crazy too… I wish you would just have a page that displays the module positions rather than that feature that turns the module position titles on and off. It's terrible and over-complicating something so simple.
Other than that- I have been working with this template for a few hours and it really is beautiful on both the front-end and back-end.
5 stars if you send me the module positions in an image like every other Joomla template developer on the planet!
Hello Vibe,
I'd like to thank you very much for your trust to purchase this template, Would you mind if I'll provide a screenshot on module position later, right after I finish some update of this templates. If I may suggest you, please hold up a while to make some modification to this template and wait my update. Wouldn't you?
If you're in a rush, maybe this link could an alternative way to know available position on this templates http://joomla.themesoul.com/raddin/?tp=1
Don't worry about the screenshot. I'll be okay without it!
Are you putting out an update? I am going to continue to work with the template. I wont touch any PHP or CSS while I wait for your update.
Yea Vibe, I'm putting out an update, maybe in next some hours would be finished, mostly I update are the less files (less folder) and some files under tpls/blocks folder, this templates would have light skin option.
Please PM here http://themeforest.net/user/maskeenan So I could create your forum id, so if you have a further question, you could please post anything there.
I have already bought the raddin template, BUT:
—- —- —- —- —- —- —- —
The template don't runs with IE 8!!
Although it is written in your discription.
But many people are surfing with IE 8!
Only in IE 9 and higher it works! Firefox is also fine.
What can I do?
(Sorry for my bad english)
Where can I change to the light version, how is written in your discription?
I cannot find it.
Hello Vrenchen,
Thank you very much for your trust to purchase my templates. To change to light version, you just simply go to template manager > raddin > Theme > Theme > then choose Light. Good luck.
If you have another question, pleasw feel free to PM me here http://themeforest.net/user/maskeenan
Hello Keenan, I've already looked for theme > theme, but I have only "blue" for choosing and nothing with "light". When I choose "blue" nothing change.
Hello Vrenchen,
Do you have the latest copy of my tempaltes? If not, please download the latest one.
Regards, Keenan
Thanks Keenan, I have updated the template to the newest version, the light-version runs.
But with IE8 and IE9 the header-slideshow don't appear.
With Firefox all is fine.
Great Work. Good luck with sales
Thanks, mate. Good luck too with your sales.
This Template don't work with Internet Explorer 8!
3 days ago, i have written, that this template don't work with IE 8, although it is written in your discription. But I get no answer!
With IE 9 and higher and Firefox all works fine.
But many people surf with IE 8!
What shall I do? I would never bought this template, if I only hat known that are problems with IE 8!
(Sorry for my bad english.)
Hello thanks for the great looking template. I just installed using your QuickStart package. When I see my site (http://new.raelaguilar.com) it is the light theme which is beautiful, however the main reason I purchased this template is for the dark color. I looked in the template manager and in the Theme tab it is set to "light" but there is no "dark" option to select.
Please help me get the dark theme, I really need the a dark website not light.
actually i just checked one more time on the Theme tab in the template manager, i set it to "darktest" which is obvious meant to be the dark theme, but it is still light – as you can see http://new.raelaguilar.com
ALSO I AM USING THE MOST UP TO DATE VERSION OF THE TEMPLATE.. this is crazy please help
Hello Rael,
Thank you very much for your trust to purchase my templates. About your question, on template manager > raddin-homepage > theme tab > choose theme = use-default > save. And you still need to repeat these steps above for another templates style (default and no-sidebar) Good luck.
And if you have another question, please PM me here http://themeforest.net/user/maskeenan
Thanks so much that fixed it
The template don't runs with IE8 and IE9!
I have asked now 3 times and I get no answer!!!???
The header-slideshow don't runs with IE!
The header-slideshow is also not running, when I open the template-demo directly here in themeforest with IE8 and IE9!
Where is the bug?
Could you please let me know the exact problem on IE8, because on IE8 I show the problem is on slider, the others was fine. And on IE9, I've checked everything is fine. Pleas wait for the answer for IE8.
Slider don't work with Internet Explorer 8!
I wait, and wait and wait but nothing happens! I have written this problem now 5 times!
When comes an update, that the slider works with IE8?
I don't want waiting any more time longer. What can I do?
Sorry, but I have purchased this template with supporting IE 8! (in your discription)
(Sorry for my bad english)
Hello Vrenchen,
Please go to template manager > raddin > general (tab) > Enable Development Mode > Set to NO. Good luck. And if the problem still persist, please let me know by PM me with the url detail, temporary username and password to your administrator.

pyidlrpc 0.1.6
A library to call IDL (Interactive Data Language) from python.
Depreciation notice
pyidlrpc has been made part of the mirpyidl project and is now considered depreciated. mirpyidl retains all of the pyidlrpc functionality, but can also be used without the need for a idlrpc process.
mirpyidl can be found here:
A library to call IDL (Interactive Data Language) from python. Allows trasparent wrapping of IDL routines and objects as well as arbitrary execution of IDL code.
pyidlrpc requires a licenced installation of IDL and works by connecting with an idlrpc server. Data is transfered back and forth using the idlrpc API distrbuted with IDL.
All standard IDL and python/numpy datatypes are supported, and pyidlrpc transparently handles translating between equivilent datatypes. This includes translation between IDL structures and python dictionaries.
- pyidlrpc is hosted at:
- https://bitbucket.org/amicitas/pyidlrpc
- Documentation can be found at:
- http://amicitas.bitbucket.org/pyidlrpc
pyidlrpc was written by Novimir A. Pablant, and is released under an MIT licence.
- python (2.7, 3.0 or later)
- numpy
- psutil (2.0 or later)
- cython
pyidlrpc requires a licenced installation of IDL. Currently only IDL 8.0 or later is spported due to the additon of the HASH and LIST types. Older versions may be compatible but are untested.
pyidlrpc is currently only supported on linux and OS X. It should also work fine on windows, but the setup.py script has not been setup to find the IDL installation directory. If you want to give this a try on windows, just add the appropriate directories to setup.py. (If it works submit a pull reqeust so that I can update the public package.)
pyidlrpc can be installed using the following command:
python setup.py install
For more control over the installation, all standard distutils commands are available. If setuputils is installed, then the extended commands will also work.
If a full installation is not desired, the pyidlrpc module can be built in place using:
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
This will build pyidlrpc in place and create the pyidlrpc.so shared library which can then be imported from python.
- Warning:
- On Mac OS X the setup script will change the installation name of the libidl_rpc.dylib library to @rpath/libidl_rpc.dylib.
Here are a few simple examples. A full set of examples and tutorials is included in the documentation.
starting the idlrpc server
For any of the examples below it is recommended than an idlrpc server be started in a separate terminal window:
This step is not strictly necessary as a server will be started automatically if needed. However, pyidlrpc currenly leaves the idlrpc server running in the background, which eventually has to be manually killed. This behavior will be fixed in the next version.
executing idl code
Here is a simple example for executing arbitrary IDL code from python:
# Import pyidlrpc. import pyidlrpc as idl # Execute a command in IDL. # This will print 'Hello mom!' in the idlrpc window. idl.execute("PRINT, 'Hello mom!'")
As a more complex example, we will now send some data back and forth between IDL and python.
import numpy as np import pyidlrpc as idl # Create a numpy array in python. py_array = np.random.normal(size=1000) # Copy this data to IDL. idl.setVariable('idl_array', py_array) # Calculate the standard devation and the mean in IDL. idl.execute('idl_stddev = STDDEV(idl_array)') idl.execute('idl_mean = MEAN(idl_array)') # Copy the results back to python. py_stddev = idl.getVariable('idl_stddev') py_mean = idl.getVariable('idl_mean') # Print out the results. print('Mean: {}, StdDev: {}'.format(py_mean, py_stddev))
calling functions and procedures
In the examples above we used just the most basic pyidlrpc commands to control an IDL session and pass data between IDL and python. In these next examples we use the pyidlrpc wrapping routines to do simplify the code in the previous example significantly.
import numpy as np import pyidlrpc as idl # Create a numpy array in python. py_array = np.random.normal(size=1000) # Calculate the standard devication and mean using IDL. py_stddev = idl.callFunction('STDDEV', [py_array]) py_mean = idl.callFunction('MEAN', [py_array]) # Print out the results. print('Mean: {}, StdDev: {}'.format(py_mean, py_stddev))
wraping functions and procedures
Wrapping functions or procedures looks very similar to the example above. Let say we want to wrap the IDL STDDEV and MEAN functions in python module name idlmath.
# idlmath.py import pyidlrpc as idl def stddev(*args, **kwargs): return idl.callFunction('STDDEV', args, kwargs) def mean(*args, **kwargs): return idl.callFunction('MEAN', args, kwargs)
That's all there is to it. Now we can call these functions as though they were native python funcitons.
import numpy as np import idlmath array = np.random.normal(size=1000) # Here we transparently call the wrapped IDL functions. mean = idlmath.mean(array) stddev = idlmath.stddev(array)
wrapping objects
pyidlrpc also has the ability to fully wrap IDL objects.
Python wrapping objects should all inherit from PyIDLObject. Here is an example of wrapping a hypothetical Gaussian object.
# _IdlGaussan.py from pyidlrpc import PyIDLObject class IdlGaussian(PyIDLObject): # Define the the IDL command needed to create the object. _creation_command = "OBJ_NEW" _creation_params = ['GAUSSIAN'] _creation_keywords = None def evaluate(self, *args, **kwargs): return, self.callMethodFunction('EVALUATE', args, kwargs) def setParam(self, *args, **kwargs): return, self.callMethodPro('SET_PARAM', args, kwargs) def getParam(self, *args, **kwargs): return, self.callMethodFunction('GET_PARAM', args, kwargs)

Kitchen Renovations
6 Attachment(s)
So after buying my 2 family house, I spent 9 months of weekends renovating the rental unit on the 2nd floor. That work is complete THANKFULLY and before and after photos can be seen here.
With that out of the way, I've now set my sights on renovating my own kitchen. The demo is done, as is the rough plumbing and electric. Cabinets are somewhat constructed/installed as are the appliances. Below are photos of the kitchen as it stood when I bought the house and the mess that it's become. I still have plenty of work left to do so I'll continue to post photos and I welcome any comments, questions or suggestions anyone might have. :thumbup:

After removing the cheap Ikea floating floor, the 1/4" luan and the old vinyl tile, I finally got down to the original floors. Phew.

The brick corner was an old chimney no longer in use. It was taking up valuable kitchen space...so out it went.
Last Photos for Now
5 Attachment(s)
Bought pretty much all of the applianced used from a variety of sources. Decided to build the cabinets from scratch to make sure they fit exactly as I need them to.
I'm currently ordering up drawer slides, door hinges and beginning to build the drawers and doors themselves.
That's an amazing job you did with the rental unit! Love the floors, kitchen wall removal and vaulted ceiling. Did you do most of the work yourself? Very impressive. :thumbup:
Of course, you've set the bar high for your own remodeling. Looking forward to seeing the results. Looks like you've got a great start.
It'll look great. Have fun.
Looking good. Looking forward to seeing the final results.
Looks good. What kind of power tool are you using in that pic for tearing up the old chimney?
Very nice job so far! I love the appliances and farm-style stainless sink. What are you thinking for countertops - Granite? Concrete?
Now that my bathroom project is nearly complete (and I told my wife we're getting back a good chunk of change for taxes), she's bugging me to redo the kitchen. So I'm going to be following your project closely for some inspiration.
We recently did a peninsula in our kitchen and used a stainless steel top. It is 3'x6'. We special ordered it from a commercial restaurant supply store. It was only $400 with delivery... $22 per square foot. Custom fabricated it normally runs about $150 per square foot I think. Could be a good idea for your moveable island... Here are 2 pics
With protective sticker still on it
After - sorry no good pics, just one from Thanksgiving.

WASHINGTON – Americans are growing more comfortable with online dating, and many are finding a spouse or partner in cyberspace, a survey showed Monday.
The Pew Research Center found that 11 percent of Internet users — some 9 percent of all American adults — said they have personally used an online dating site.
That is a sharp increase from 2008, when just 3 percent of American adults had used online dating sites, Pew said.
The survey found 66 percent of those who use online sites or apps have gone on a date with someone they met through one of these services.
And 23 percent of online daters have married or begun a long-term relationship with someone they met through a dating site or app, Pew found.
Pew researchers said Americans' attitudes about online dating have dramatically changed since it first began studying the subject in 2005.
"When we conducted our first study of dating and relationships in the digital era just under a decade ago, the public had little exposure to online dating, and most viewed people who went online to meet potential romantic partners with a healthy dose of skepticism," said Aaron Smith, main author of the report.
"And although some of that skepticism remains, online dating has become much more culturally accepted in recent years. Americans are now much more likely to count an online dater among their friends and family, and a majority view online dating as a good way to meet potential partners — one that in some ways is superior to traditional ways of meeting people."
The survey found 59 percent of Internet users agreed with the statement that "online dating is a good way to meet people," compared with 44 percent in 2005.
And 53 percent of the group agreed that "online dating allows people to find a better match for themselves because they can get to know a lot more people," up from 47 percent in 2005.
Pew found that 21 percent of Internet users claimed that people who use online dating sites are "desperate," down from 29 percent in 2005.
Around 1 in 3, or 32 percent of online adults, said that online dating keeps people from settling down by giving them more options to meet people. This is the first time Pew asked that question.
A number of respondents related negative experiences with online dating; 54 percent of those who have used online services said that they had met at least one person who was "seriously misrepresented," and 28 percent said that they had felt harassed or uncomfortable by someone who was using online dating services.
The survey also found online daters going mobile — 7 percent of cellphone users, or roughly 3 percent of all American adults, said they have used a dating app on their phone.
The survey highlights the growing role of the Internet in all aspects of Americans' lives. It found the proportion of Americans who say that they met their current partner online has roughly doubled over the last eight years to 6 percent of Internet users.
The Pew survey generally supports the findings of a study published in June by University of Chicago researchers, which found that more than one-third of U.S. marriages between 2005 and 2012 began with online dating.
That study, published in June in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, also found that couples who meet online may be slightly happier than couples who meet through other means.
However, some experts took issue with the findings because the survey was commissioned by eHarmony.com, the dating site that attracted one quarter of all online marriages according to the research.
The Pew report was based on a phone survey of 2,252 adults between April 17 and May 19. The margin of error for the full sample is estimated at 2.3 percentage points.

This game isn't autobiographical so it's a "notobio".
My entry to the Pling of the Month Plub #1. It's an "adventure" table. Send the ball into the End Target to finish the game.
PlingPling is a nice little tool! Very easy to pick up and do passable work. I was happy to have something to show for my sitting at the computer for a couple hours. :)
Have fun, folks!
EDIT: did some slight cosmetic adjustments, but the screen shot is still accurate enough.
I don't think it is beatable.
I learned a valuable lesson: Even if I want the table to be more visually representative than fun to play, I should still test the tables while I'm painting them. I ended up re-doing a lot of the visual work just because I wanted the ball to be able to move around.
I started trying to draw forms and use the elements more painterly. There is a lot of potential there.
bounce the damn ball
So I say to WordRescue, "Let's make a pinball table; it can be about anything you want." Being the massive whole foods hipster that he is, WordRescue comes back with a Tribe Hummus themed table layout. So enjoy.
Enjoy your hummus.
you can hide the pallet and pretend it's a pachinko game
The Citizen Kane of pinball tables. Because it is Citizen Kane: The Pinball Table.
Makes use of MMF2's powerful new built-in movement capabilities to provide you with even more terrible fun! Use your alien lander to keep the ball in play - there are no flippers to be found in this game!
Left and right to turn. Up to thrust. Space to launch ball.

Guadagnino: JWoww will box fiance
Vinny Guadagnino is convinced that his Jersey Shore castmate JWoww will be "a bridezilla".
JWoww's fiancé Roger Mathews popped the question during a skydiving session while filming the Jersey Shore spin-off Snooki & JWoww.
The cast is notorious for getting into bar brawls and Vinny portends that a fight may go down on the couple's wedding day.
"[JWoww will be] a bridezilla," he joked to Us Weekly.
"She's going to fist fight Roger the day of the wedding!"
There is absolutely no way Vinny will miss JWoww's nuptial ceremony.
He supports his friend in all that she does.
"I have to [go]. We're like a family," he gushed. "I'm very excited."
Vinny is elated that JWoww and Roger decided to take their relationship to the next level.
He hopes that the pair don't suffer from pre-wedding jitters.
"I'm glad that it finally solidified," he said. "Hopefully they go through with it."

Overdone skits?

Oh, that question is a bit old XD
But I agree with this. What I don't like to see is a bunch of hare hare yuki, and then luck star, and yeah. But since the user in question has taken actually pointe lessons I wouldn't mind a Tutu dance skit. I do ask that maybe some kind of introduction is done. Like, "Tutu is dancing to celebrate Rue and Mythos wedding" or whatever. Because I still hate dancing with no explanation.
But yeah, the only Tutu dance skits I don't like (and these take up about 90% of tutu skits) are when they clearly have no experience in ballet.
Though I have to give him credit. He actually looks like he's having fun and choreographed something that actually makes use of the stage lol (And is not using pointe shoes, thank the lord)
And even worse is when they use pointe shoes.
Clickers again
Seriously, I think I've seen way too many who have no clue what they are doing. Maybe to others it looks fine but to anyone who does ballet or even just watches it knows they're doing it all wrong. It just makes me feel bad for them.
Does anyone know why that song is used in like, every Tutu skit ever?
(I would actually really like it if someone used something outside of Swan Lake. Like The Sleeping Beauty or Giselle)

Back by popular demand….boiling hot mudbugs. It's the Pearland Crawfish Festival, this weekend, serving big portions of food, music and the kind of relaxed fun that Texans are used to finding in small towns across the state.
For this one, you don't have to drive far, just hop down Highway 288 to Discovery Bay Drive.
Photo provided by Pearland CVB.
We're talking crawfish and Cajun fare, with the blues, zydeco, Texas country and even classic rock raising the rafters on two music stages, and then there's the armadillo races and last year's popular Splash Dogs. Pearland CVB is prepared for even larger crowds this year, adding more of everything. What I like most about this festival… it benefits the school districts of Pearland, Alvin and Ft Bend as well as the Houston Blues Society.
You can get down with that.

Objective of forming a team is to achieve set goals using diverse capabilities of team members by collective efforts. However forming a team only does not serve the purpose, effective teamwork is necessary.
For effective teamwork leader must know strengths and weaknesses of each of his team member in the first place. According to this basic knowledge leader can assign suitable tasks to his team members according to their skills. Apart from knowing strengths and allotting right tasks to right person effective communication is also plays a vital role to lead the team towards their goal. Leader is also responsible to motivate his team to contribute their best to the organization in the process of obtaining optimum results.

Venezia: Food and Dreams by Tessa Kiros, includes recipes like Spider Crab (Granseola in Bella Vista); Fried Mozzarella Toasts (Mozzarella in Carrozza); and Roasted Guinea Fowl with Peverada (Faraona Arrosto con la Salsa Peverada).
Serves 4
This is quite lovely, noble-looking and most of all, easy to make. It is rather like doing a roast chicken with a bit of stuffing sauce on the side. Compare as for the chicken, keeping the liver if your guinea fowl comes with one. This is particularly lovely with cabbage or the roast pumpkin and mushrooms (page 248 of the book). I have seen many different versions of the sauce; some elaborate with vinegar, crumbled bread, anchovies, onions, or various spices, and it works very well next to any roast poultry. If you bird doesn't come with a liver, just increase the chicken liver accordingly.
Salsa Peverada:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Rinse the guinea fowl inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. Season lightly inside and out. Mix together the butter, rosemary, sage, garlic, and chopped pancetta, and stuff inside the bird.
Lay the sliced pancetta over the bird widthwise, so that the top and sides are covered, and then tie up with string. Put half the olive oil in a roasting pan, put the bird in the pan and drizzle with the rest of the oil. Roast for 15 minutes or so, until golden and sizzling on the bottom, then pour in half the wine. Turn down the oven temperature to 350 degrees F, and roast for another 40 to 45 minutes, adding the rest of the wine about 30 minutes, once it is bubbling nicely. Once or twice baste the bird with the pan juices. Poke a fork into the thickest part of the thigh and check the juices are clear (cook for 10 to 15 minutes more if needed, but it's important not to overcook it and dry it out). Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes before untying the bird and cutting up into portions.
Meanwile, make the peverada: clean the livers of any sinew and then chop them well. Put all the ingredients in a small saucepan with salt and simmer for 10 minutes or so, until the livers are cooked. Add a good couple of grindings of pepper. Serve a spoonful of this warm, along with a portion of roast guinea fowl with its lovely pan juices.

Big Data - An Introduction
By: William Alexander Emailed: 1730 times Printed: 2344 times
Latest comments
Still remember the days when your computer had just 512MB RAM or even less? Computer memories have grown over years both internal memory and external memory. Storage technologies have also grown over the years. Storage capacity has grown from Kilobytes, megabytes, giagbytes, terabytes, petabytes, exabytes, zettabytes to even yottabytes. Given the rate at which the world's data is growing and with the concept of "Internet of Things", the data is set to grow even further.
In fact, Gartner defines the growth of data in three forms the so called "3Vs"; Volume, Velocity and Variety. Which means data is growing in high volume at a high speed with different forms of data. Although the data has grown huge and growing every minute, the software required to manage these data, search, visualize and mine are lacking. Computer scientists today agree that the software available today such as relational databases and other software are only capable of handling exabytes of data. Any data which is bigger than exabyte or in other words Big data, require new and better software applications.
Mobile devices, remote sensors, software logs, cameras, microphones, RFID readers, wireless sensors, social networks etc are generating these Big Data. These Big Data is difficult to work with using our existing RDBMS and data visualizing technologies are not sufficient, instead massive number of parallel software running in hundreds of servers are required to handle and process such big data to find business trends, determine quality of research, determine realtime traffic conditions, prevent diseases etc..
As a developer, it is time for you to imaging, understand and equip yourself with 'Big Data' tools and technologies and closely follow leaders such as IBM, Microsoft, Google and the likes to keep uptodate on 'big data' updates.

In this music industry age of falling sales and constant searching for new business models, is it still possible for bands to be considered sellouts?
In some circles, apparently so. Weezer raised a lot of questions by naming its upcoming album "Hurley" and its cover featuring only a picture of actor Jorge Garcia — yes, Hurley, from "Lost."
"We struggled super hard trying to come up with an album title, trying to find some kind of phrase that summed up the whole aesthetic behind the album — 'Heavy Mental,' 'Smaller Than Life,'" singer Rivers Cuomo told Spinner.com. "I was coming up with all kinds of stuff, but ultimately, we just went with some random word that doesn't really have anything to do with anything. I just loved this photo of Jorge Garcia — it just had this amazing vibe. We didn't want to do a fourth self-titled record and we knew people would refer to it as 'the Hurley record' even if left without that title, so we just called it 'Hurley.""
However, the band has since signed a deal with the Hurley clothing company to launch a Weezer fashion line of T-shirts and hoodies, available starting Sept. 10 in PacSun stores. That has led some to question the "Hurley" story. "Weezer misleads fans, sells out to Hurley International," declares Hypebot.com, while other blogs call it product placement.
As "Hurley" marks Weezer's move to indie label Epitaph Records after a long stay at Geffen, though, the question most fans are asking isn't why the album's named "Hurley," but "Is it any good?"

Hall & Oates Join Arizona Boycott, Cancel Phoenix Gig
The rock duo Daryl Hall and John Oates announced Monday they will not be playing Phoenix next month following an Arizona Diamondbacks game.
Their manager Jonathan Wolfson told The Associated Press from Los Angeles that Hall and Oates will not play Phoenix July 2 because of their personal stance against Arizona's new immigration law.
The pair issued a statement through Wolfson saying they stand in solidarity with the music community in boycotting Arizona at this time.
They also emphasized the decision has nothing to do with the management of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
D-backs' president and chief executive Derrick Hall said they understand the duo's decision.

We have heard that the DPS arbitration service tends to favour the tenant, so were advised to go to court to get a judgement to say the DPS need to pay the landlord due to the clause covering arrears. Is the DPS arbitration fair?
It is generally thought that the DPS favours the tenant. Who should force them to look at their judgements?Last year I applied for a CCJ in a case rather than use the DPS arbitration scheme. Very recently after a 6 month wait I got a county court order which would, I thought pay me the deposit where tenants left owing rent and having caused damage to the let.
I emailed off the order to the DPS and no, the DPS are having none of it mainly because the wording is not as precise as they would like.
I have gone back to the court for advice on how to proceed and suggesting re- wording of the document as requested by the DPS.
Be prepared to put time and effort in if you go down this route.

I have no idea what Aaron Martens is looking for exactly, but he's spending a lot of time doing it. Martens has been idling in circles, looking at his sonar screen for several minutes now.
In the meantime, James Overstreet had the opportunity to photograph a fight between two ospreys and two Canada geese. The ospreys, of course, won that deal. But not before several strafing attacks from the ospreys. The geese, apparently, had ventured too close to the ospreys' nest. Check JO's on-the-water gallery later. Even if you're not a bird watcher, you'll enjoy this.
Now Martens is fishing again, vertically, with either a drop shot bait or a shaky head worm. He's dropping it straight down next to his trolling motor, trying to force-feed a big bass, I'd guess.

No more love for Lucy?
Published: 4 May 2007 (GMT+10)
Photo at left by David Menton, photo at right by David Green
The fragmentary nature of most specimens means that reconstructions often have to be largely speculative, i.e. guesswork, leaving free reign for evolutionary bias. Click for larger image
Perhaps the most famous icon of human evolution in modern times may now have to be quietly discarded. For over the last thirty years, the supposedly 3.2 million year old Australopithecus afarensis specimen known as 'Lucy' has been boldly proclaimed as the ancestor of all humanity in magazines, television shows, books, newspapers, and museums. However, Tel Aviv University anthropologists have published a study casting serious doubt on Lucy's role as mankind's ape ancestor.1 Based on a comparative analysis of jaw bones in living and extinct primates, researchers concluded that Lucy and members of her kind should be 'placed as the beginning of the branch that evolved in parallel to ours.' In other words, by evolutionary reasoning, Lucy should no longer be considered to be our direct ancestor. Lucy's demise falsifies thirty-three years of evolutionary hyperbole and propaganda. Instead, her proper designation as an extinct non-human, the ancestor of other non-human primates, is completely consistent with the predictions of biblical creation.
Lucy in competing origins models
In the evolutionary model, Lucy was held up as the ideal transitional fossil between ape and man. Only 40% complete, anthropologists speculated that she was a fully bipedal creature possessing the perfect blend of ape-like and human-like anatomical features.2
In the biblical creation model, Lucy is considered an ancient type of ape whose kind was specially created by God on the sixth day of creation about 6,000 years ago. Based on comprehensive skeletal analysis, Lucy and other members of the genus Australopithecus were likely tree-dwelling ape-like creatures who possessed very limited bipedality, as do the living apes of today.
Latest discoveries put the nail in the coffin
Photo by David Menton
When the general public view a typical Lucy 'ape–woman' statue, it's not uncommon to hear people say something like: 'Of course Lucy is obviously on the way to becoming human—just look at her [human-like] feet.' But such evolutionary representations of Lucy's feet are not based on the fossil facts. See, e.g. 'Ape–woman' statue misleads public: anatomy professor
Last year, a supposedly 3.3 million year old fossil of a very young Australopithecus afarensis strongly corroborated creationist predictions—see The 'Lucy Child'. This three-year old ape possessed a distinctly ape-like skull, a hyoid bone virtually identical to that of a chimpanzee (crushing any hopes for speech), a curved finger bone typical of tree dwelling apes, a gorilla-like shoulder blade commonly associated with tree climbing and knuckle walking, and inner ear characteristics that confirm a largely quadrupedal locomotion. Researchers have yet to excavate the feet of this specimen, but creationists predict that this extinct ape likely possessed a laterally projecting big toe and curved toe bones characteristic of the other great apes.
This year's study further strengthens creationist predictions. Tel Aviv University anthropologists determined that Lucy's mandibular ramus, or lower jaw bone, not only appears in Australopithecus robustus, but closely resembles that of a gorilla. As a result, the evolutionary researchers concluded that Lucy should no longer be considered man's direct ancestor. As is typically the case in the field of human evolution, a single bone structure overturns years of grossly exaggerated claims.
Shifting sands of human evolution
No doubt evolutionary anthropologists will replace Lucy with a different candidate for the ancestor of humanity. This will come in the form of a currently known 'hominid' specimen or a future, sensational discovery. This is how the game is played. A single tooth, a fragmented jaw bone, or partial skull will throw the evolutionary community into a frenzy of speculation and exaggeration. Magazines, newspapers, television shows, school textbooks, and national museums will spread the latest 'proof' of human evolution like wildfire. But as years pass, more and more evidence will come to light, and the so-called 'proof' will meet a quiet death.
Winston Churchill once said, 'Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.' Simply stated, the evolutionary community continues to repeat the same mistakes over and over again. Three powerful icons of human evolution have turned out to be utter 'busts' within the last one hundred years: Piltdown Man, Nebraska Man, and Lucy. The trend could not be any more self-evident. After 100 or so years of intense anthropological investigation, the evolutionary model of human origins has yielded disappointment after disappointment. No clear link between ancient apes and human beings has ever been established. It is high time for a new direction in science.

As more and more specimens of Australopithecus afarensis were found, it became increasingly difficult for anthropologists to defend the evolutionary belief that these were man's ancestors. See The 'Lucy Child'—more good news for creationists
Christians would do well to learn a lesson from the tenuous nature of scientific consensus. Today's consensus can be tomorrow's footnote. For decades, Neandertal was depicted as an ape-like, brutish animal. Now, a new consensus is rapidly emerging. Neandertals are fast becoming recognized as fully intelligent, fully functional human beings. For decades, Lucy was declared an indisputable link between humans and apes. Now, she's joining the ranks of other discarded human ancestors. Those who repeatedly appeal to the scientific consensus of the day often put themselves in a precarious position when the consensus is eventually overturned.
As Christians, we are not to appeal to scientific consensus as the chief arbiter of historical and scientific investigation. Instead, we are to remain faithful to the divinely inspired, inerrant Word of God, which provides us with the true history of the world. The Bible alone provides us with the proper historical framework in which to conduct our scientific study of the natural world. Had scientists studied Lucy through a biblical lens, she never would have had to suffer such an ignominious demotion.

- Her knee and ankle joints appeared to be more human-like. However, spider monkeys and orangutans share virtually the same knee joint angle (9 degrees) as humans, but they are in no way fully bipedal. The biblical creation model does not necessarily preclude the possibility of a fully bipedal ape. The point is that the diagnostic features of the australopithecines, when examined as a whole, always spoke strongly against full bipedality of the human type. This has also been confirmed by the angles of the organ of balance determined by CAT scans of fossil skulls. And Lucy herself has the wrist-locking mechanism of all knucklewalkers. Return to Text.

Stone foundation in barn - add lime or mortar?
1 Attachment(s)
Hello, I've been reading many threads tonight on this topic. Of course, not every situation is the same.
I have an old barn with a dirt cellar and stone foundation (largish boulders. I'm undertaking some structural repairs myself and am trying to work out the big plan. One of the walls seems to have no mortar for the most part. Two seem to have the remnants of a half-assed patch job ... all crumbling ... looks like "cement" to me. The wall with nothing needs some work, pushing the stones back up under the sill. I then want to bond them in place.
During the massive storms we've had recently in Boston it takes on *a lot* of water (3 feet of standing). The house sump is quite active, as well, or the house would also take on this water. The water table is so high here, I'm skeptical that much can be done to avoid the standing water down there. I mention this so you know what the moisture situation is. Normally, it's dry down there.
If I have to dig externally on the small section that's leaning in, I can do that, but overall, I'm looking to do these repairs from the inside. So ... given the fact that there's water at times, that this is unheated (therefore considered entirely exterior?), that I'm in New England ... what would you do? Lime mix? Mortar? I assume I'd be trying to force this as deeply as I can between the rocks. There are big spaces, plenty where I could fit my fist inside. Actually, even bigger than that. Would it be stupid to think about setting sections of rebar between the rocks "randomly" before packing it all?
Before researching this, I called the local lumber yard and they suggested mixed mortar. Since I don't seem to have existing lime, I suspect this may be an option, but I'm still a bit confused, frankly.
Thank you for any advice!

There's no telling where inspiration might find you. Will it be on the vertical garden wall of the Quai Branly Museum in Paris? Will it float in the light of the Great (Bamboo) Wall House outside Beijing? Or will it lurk in the ruins of the Ostia, the harbor city of ancient Rome?
For sure, you can find it in America's small town main streets and urban pocket neighborhoods, or late at night in your studio.
But travel outside of your culture and time zone beckons a different breed of muse.
Over the years, Ball State's College of Architecture and Planning global study programs have broadened and deepened understanding and welcomed inspiration in Italy, Germany, Greece, Russia, China, India, Southeast Asia, Australia, Mexico, South America, and Canada.

Ethanol production from steam-explosion pretreated wheat straw
- Cite this article as:
- Ballesteros, I., Negro, M.J., Oliva, J.M. et al. Appl Biochem Biotechnol (2006) 130: 496. doi:10.1385/ABAB:130:1:496
Bioconversion of cereal straw to bioethanol is becoming an attractive alternative to conventional fuel ethanol production from grains. In this work, the best operational conditions for steam-explosion pretreatment of wheat straw for ethanol production by a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process were studied, using diluted acid [H2SO4 0.9% (w/w)] and water as preimpregnation agents. Acid-or water-impregnated biomass was steam-exploded at different temperatures (160–200°C) and residence times (5, 10, and 20 min). Composition of solid and filtrate obtained after pretreatment, enzymatic digestibility and ethanol production of pretreated wheat straw at different experimental conditions was analyzed. The best pretreatment conditions to obtain high conversion yield to ethanol (approx 80% of theoretical) of cellulose-rich residue after steam-explosion were 190°C and 10 min or 200°C and 5 min, in acid-impregnated straw. However, 180°C for 10 min in acid-impregnated biomass provided the highest ethanol yield referred to raw material (140 L/t wheat straw), and sugars recovery yield in the filtrate (300 g/kg wheat straw).
