Since you're here, you're probably a lot like us: creative, practical, caring, and ready to inspire a better way. We are inspired to do things right and keep things simple. We believe in treating everyone as if they were our friend, protecting our environment as if it were our home, and finding creative solutions to over complicated challenges. In short, we are Way Basics. Paper based storage furniture became the foundation of our initial introduction for the brand. Our founder, Jimmy, thought it would be fun to create a recycling bin made from recycled paper, since it's one of the most commonly recycled materials. It comes flat and then pops open like paper grocery bag, but a much fancier design. You can throw all your recyclables in it, and then recycle the entire thing - then pop another one open and the recycling starts again. It's simple and elegant.
Simple: The World's Easiest Assembly
In our packages, you won't find mysterious collections of screws and nails, or complicated diagrams and instructions. That's because you can put our unique zBoards together without tools or hardware. Super-strong 3M brand adhesive strips let you fit the pieces neatly together. Just peel, stick, and you're done.
Safe: Zero Formaldehyde Or VOC
We treat the people of the world as our family. We want you to be safe and live the healthiest life possible. You can rest assured that our products aren't polluting the air inside your home, as there are no VOCs or formaldehyde in our products. VOCs are chemicals that become a gas at room temperature, such as formaldehyde. Products made with those chemicals will release the gas into the air, a process called off-gassing, and if high concentrations of formaldehyde are off-gassed and breathed in, it could cause health problems. We also use a water-based glue that is completely recyclable.
How Strong Is The Double-Sided Adhesive Tape?
Very, very strong. We use only 3M industrial-strength heavy-duty adhesive tape on our products. To take full advantage of all that sticking power and get optimum adhesion, make sure your bonding adhesive surfaces are clean, dry, and properly joined. It works best if you put together your furniture in a room that's between 70° F to 100° F (21° C to 38° C). This super-tape's bonds get stronger during the first 24 hours, so we recommend that you let your furniture sit in place for the first day.
What Is zBoard?
Our patented manufacturing process turns this post-consumer recycled paper into superbly strong paperboards that weigh 62% less than particle board with unmatched quality and durability. zBoards are the wave of the future thanks to the basic principles of being simple, fun, practical, and made from one of the simplest materials ever - paper.
How Strong Is It?
It's very strong indeed! zBoards are made from multiple, overlapping layers of paperboard and corrugated paper that combine to withstand tremendous pressure. We like to describe the zBoard as the "carbon fiber of paper." A cube has a recommended max weight of 50 lbs.
Can I Stack Them?
Yes, cubes are designed to be modular and can be arranged any way to fit your space and create your own organization system.
Great For Home, Kids, Office
Way Basics Cubes are the perfect storage solution for any room in your home, kids love them, and they even find their way into the work environment.
Toxin Free
zBoards are made from post-consumer recycled paper and do not consume additional natural resources like trees and the enormous amounts of water needed to make virgin paper. Way Basics furniture also does not "off-gas" or contain formaldehyde and VOCs.

Excellent product, simple to use and great for storage
I bought a bunch of these for storage. They are simple to put together and very nice looking. I use them as organization in my craft room. I have them on my shelves with stickers in one (separated according to holiday and various themes) as well as scissors etc. in another. I also have 2 in the tool room where I put all the loose screws nails etc. I just group them together, put them in a recyclable can with lid and place them in the box. I plan on buying a few more as they will fit under my bed and will make for great under the bed storage!

Fun Product
I needed something that matched my décor. This simple design was great and it was fun to make. I didn't feel the stress that comes when putting together other products with their complicated instructions and tools.
- Review by vwgirl100 (Posted on 4/27/2010)
I was amazed that this was made from recycled paper...I would have thought it was particle board. Went together in a snap.

Love the cube. Simple and easy to construct. Sturdy and holds a lot. Awesome product. Two thumbs up

Transmission of low-frequency sound through the water-to-air interface

- Godin, O.A. Acoust. Phys. (2007) 53: 305. doi:10.1134/S1063771007030074
L.M. Brekhovskikh revealed and studied the important role played by inhomogeneous waves emitted by a point source when they pass through an interface with a medium in which the velocity of sound is lower, for example, from water to air. This paper studies the energy characteristics of sound emitted into air by an underwater point source. The energy transfer due to inhomogeneous waves is shown to cause the phenomenon of anomalous transparency of the interface for low-frequency sound. The anomalous transparency manifests itself in that the energy flux through the interface increases with decreasing frequency of sound and, at sufficiently low frequencies, almost all of the acoustic energy produced by the underwater source is emitted into air. Conversely, at high frequencies, when the contribution of the inhomogeneous waves becomes negligible, the water-to-air interface is similar to a perfectly reflecting surface and almost all of the acoustic energy produced by the source is emitted into water. The anomalous transparency phenomenon changes the conventional opinion on the possibility of acoustic coupling between points in water and air and on the role played by physical processes evolving in the water column in generating atmospheric acoustic noise.

Energy Matters
- Install a programmable thermostat that allows you to reduce the energy used heating the home when residents are asleep our away, or have a policy of keeping the setting on the thermostat at 65 degrees or lower. (10)
A programmable thermostat is an easy way to conserve energy. By varying the temperature settings through the day—typically dropping the degrees when most people are asleep or when house members tend to be away—you can significantly reduce your bills. The point value for this gesture is a bit lower, however, because most houses are heated with natural gas, which is a much cleaner source of energy in terms of carbon emissions than electricity which is largely coal generated.
- Agree to purchase energy-saving Energy Star appliances in future acquisitions. (10)
This is a tough one. There's no question that selecting energy-efficient appliances is key to long-term reductions in energy. Particularly when it comes to big power draws like air conditioners and refrigerators, paying a little extra for an efficient appliance will have major cumulative consequences. That said, we can't give the Energy Star designation a lot of points because its guidelines, while improving, are questionable. Many refrigerators with side-by-side doors, for example, have earned an Energy Star designation even though those units demand a whole lot more energy than a refrigerator with a freezer on top. Be smart. Investigate. Look at the actual estimated energy demands. Make good choices. Get 10 points.
- Install water-saving shower heads, toilets, and faucets. (15)
By selecting a shower head that reduces the flow below 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm), you can reduce water consumption between 25-60%. This reduction is significant because water use is actually connected to power consumption (the pumps at Springfield's water treatment facility are the largest power draws in the city) and lower hot water demand also means a reduced energy need at the water heater—every day.
- Replace burned out bulbs with energy-saving compact fluorescent bulbs. (15)
Here are some easy points. While light fixtures generally use less energy than other appliances—constituting 9% of a household's energy demands on average—compact fluorescent bulbs require 20-30% less electricity than incandescent bulbs for the same task, and they can last 10-15 times longer. This simple change can reduce electricity usage fairly significantly without much change in routines. An easy win.
- Implement a strict lights-off rule for all vacant rooms. (20)
All of the myths about using less energy by leaving lights, computers, and air conditioners on in between uses have very little foundation in reality. One of the reasons that U.S. citizens use more energy than others in the developed world—we burn through twice as much per person as our English counterparts—has much to do with wasteful habits. Cutting back on unnecessary uses of energy going on around us could, according to one study, reduce consumption by 30%.
- Set goals to reduce monthly electricity, natural gas, and/or water consumption by at least 10 percent over past consumption trends. (10 for each reduction of 10 percent)
Utility bills may not be everyone's favorite items in the mailbox, but they generally do provide us with very useful information about consumption within our households. (Water bills are an exception since they only charge you for an estimated monthly usage based on the size of your water main.) These records of past electricity and/or natural gas consumption can provide any house with the basis of a reasonable goal for reducing consumption. There's some potential for major point gains here: in its first year, the Eco House reduced electricity consumption more than 50% from the previous year.

Bad Headaches After Botox for the "Elevens"
- kh85
- Last updated: 3 years ago
Exactly 7 days ago I got botox just in the "11s" area (in between eyebrows). Since then, I have had an almost constant bad headache. The nurse said that botox in this area should not cause headaches, as opposed to botox in other areas which can cause headaches.However, I know this is from the botox, I've never had a headache for a week straight in my life. I think it is from the muscles straining to frown when they are not able to.Anyone else? I am starting to get nervous that this headache will not go away until the botox wears off, or worse, ever!

"It's more than money and it's more than honey. We pay for gas by selling jars of honey. But it's really important for people to understand that bees are important and bees are in trouble. Beekeepers around the world are experiencing a decline of the species and it's harder and harder to keep them alive. These issues are above our pay grade, but the reality is we're fighting for our lives. We're fighting for the pollinators who can't fight for themselves. We have to stand up to pesticide companies that don't care."

One Minor Snivel...
Not a real big issue, just an observation...I visit the swap pages often just to see what's being moved around, and I am amazed how many pilots post "...RTF..." in the title, then as I read down the description there is no receiver, etc...I even read one "RTF" that did not include the engine...THAT was extra...
Am I misunderstanding the acronym "RTF"? I thought it meant "Ready to Fly"???? I have a 3DHS 89" inch AJ Slick still in the box. Is it "RTF"?????

You are dealing with the public.
Some guys have no understanding of what is considered normal.
RTF - to me means Receiver ready.. plug in my reciever and go fly.
(It can include a rec, but so many radio choices it's hard to include a rec)
ARTF - can mean all kinds of things, like "add motor" or "add batts"...
Airframe only..... means just that.
Boom common sense.. done deal.

Kat Graham: InStyle Golden Globes Gal
She's always up for a good time, and Kat Graham was excited to attend the InStyle and Warner Bros 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards post-party in Beverly Hills last night (January 12).
The "Vampire Diaries" dame showed off some serious cleavage as she hammed it up for the shutterbugs outside the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
Kat recently told press that she received quite a scare from her handsome costar Ian Somerhalder, who just so happens to have a penchant for pranks.
"We were actually driving from set, at the end of the street, and I had my window rolled down. Then all of a sudden, somebody goes into my driver's side window and goes, 'WaAaAAAaAAaaa.' And it's Ian just jumping out of his car in the middle of the night, scaring the crap out of me. When they're in vampire mode, I lock my dressing room door because it's so scary to see."

Hills bid alive with sound of discord
Page Tools
Hills Motorway has made its first openly hostile response to Transurban's $2 billion takeover bid, blaming its suitor for a last-minute delay in mailing out its target statement.
After refuting media reports on Friday morning that it had already decided to reject the Transurban offer, Hills sent out a barbed announcement on Friday afternoon blaming Transurban for a delay in the drafting of the target statement.
The Sydney toll-road operator still plans to make a formal response to the offer on Monday, but says its 4500 stakeholders will probably not receive the target statement and independent expert's report in their letterboxes until Wednesday.
Hills said the delay occurred when Transurban offered to surrender additional information to Hills and independent expert KPMG "at a relatively late stage in the statutory timetable".
The company said the glitch was exacerbated when Transurban changed its mind and decided not to surrender the information on Wednesday.
"It was what the independent expert and the independent directors would have viewed as material," a source close to the Hills camp said. "Needless to say it was related to the value of the Transurban stock."
It is understood the information related to financial forecasts for Transurban. Given Hills stakeholders are being offered 1.47 Transurban securities for each of their securities, Hills has already signalled concerns Transurban has not provided forecasts beyond June 2006. Clearly the bid is tied to the value of Transurban shares.
But Hills's concerns run in the face of Transurban's tantalising forecast of a 98 per cent lift in distributions for Hills shareholders in 2005-06 if the bid is accepted.
In another sign the bid could turn nasty, Transurban has disputed Hills's version of events, saying it expected to give the information only to KPMG.
"Transurban was requested by Hills to assist the independent expert, where possible, with information relevant to Transurban," a spokesman for the company said.
"Transurban offered information to the independent expert, but when Hills insisted the information be made available to them, Transurban withdrew the availability of information due to it being commercially sensitive."
Hills securities rose 18c to $10.98 on Friday, Transurban shares 13c to $7.49. At that closing price the bid values Hills securities at around $11 each.
While Hills has so far refused to be drawn on how it will respond to the five-week-old takeover offer, it has hinted it is not only unhappy about the lack of financial information provided by Transurban but also the tax implications of the deal. If Transurban fails to secure 80 per cent of Hills, accepting retail stakeholders will be liable for capital gains tax.

PotBS - Preview @ WarCry
WarCry is making the most of the lifting of the Pirates of the Burning Sea beta NDA with a tour of the Flying Lab Software offices.
We then traveled to the Ghost Ship! That's right, Pirates of The Burning Sea has ghost ships! I was told that it won't be easy to find, and you will need to be well prepared to fight it. They are ghosts after all; a normal sword won't cut it. You will have to visit graves and other interesting places, following rumors and searching all over to find out where the ship is, and more importantly, how to fight it. The ship as you can see in the video was well done, the ghosts raising out of the decks, and swirling around the ship as the full moon shines down. Unfortunately we weren't able to actually fight the ghost ship on the tour, but I must admit, I am looking forward to doing so soon.

Washington, October 19 : A University of Leicester professor has called for the use of modern radar technology for monitoring the rainforests.
Professor Heiko Balzter, the Head of Geography at the University of Leicester in the UK, told 200 scientists and foresters at an international conference in Brazil that, "We need advanced radar satellites for monitoring tropical deforestation and forest biomass".
The researchers from South America, the US, Canada and Europe had come together for the 8th Seminar on Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Systems Applications in Forest Engineering in the city of Curitiba, Brazil.
Professor Balzter had been invited by the Brazilian Space Research Institute (INPE) to speak at the conference about his work on monitoring forest biomass using remote sensing.
According to a recent FAO report (the Forest Resources Assessment 2005), Brazil had the world's largest deforested area between 1990 and 2005. The country lost over 42 million hectares of forest.
"With modern radar technology and knowledge of tree structures we can produce spatial carbon maps", said Professor Balzter, whose research has been published in the journal Remote Sensing of Environment in 2007.
Trees take up carbon from the air when they grow. This helps slow down the greenhouse effect and global warming. When the trees are felled, this important function is lost.
"Radar uses microwaves to penetrate through the forest canopy. They measure how much wet plant matter and indirectly how much carbon is there in the forest," said Balzter.
"Our case studies in the UK have shown that using two radar antennas with different wavelengths can provide maps of the top of the forest canopy and the forest floor. The managed forests in Britain and the rainforest of Brazil are of course very different.
Nevertheless, similar results were found by scientists in Brazil," he added.

Postmeet Video: Coach Plocki | Joanna Sampson
Site: Ann Arbor, Mich. (Crisler Center)
Result: #3 Michigan 196.675, Iowa 195.200
Records: U-M (7-1, 3-1 Big Ten), Iowa (3-3, 0-3 Big Ten)
Attendance: 2,382
Next U-M Event: Friday, Feb. 8 -- at Ohio State (Columbus, Ohio), 7 p.m.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Junior Joanna Sampson (Willow Grove, Pa./Upper Moreland) finished alone in first in all four events and scored a new personal best in the all-around (39.600) to lead the No. 3-ranked University of Michigan women's gymnastics team to a 196.675-195.200 victory over Iowa on Saturday (Feb. 2) at Crisler Center.
Senior Katie Zurales (Wheaton, Ill./Wheaton Warrenville South) also had a strong meet, finishing second to Sampson in the all-around (39.400). Zurales finished in the top three in every event on Saturday, scoring 9.850 in all of them. She took second place on uneven bars and balance beam and third place on vault and floor exercise.
The Wolverines were in the lead from the very beginning of the meet, scoring a 49.275 on vault to occupy the first five spots on the podium, led by Sampson, who scored a 9.900. Following her performance was senior Natalie Beilstein (Butler, Pa./Knoch) in second (9.875), senior Katie Zurales (Wheaton, Ill./Wheaton Warrenville South) in third (9.850) and Texas natives Sachi Sugiyama (Keller, Texas/Keller) and Austin Sheppard (Dallas, Texas/Plano East) in a tie for fourth (9.825).
All six Michigan gymnasts up on uneven bars scored above 9.800, leading to a total of 49.225. Following Sampson's score of 9.900 was Zurales and Sugiyama, who both tied for second at 9.850. Other gymnasts to score well for Michigan included senior Brittnee Martinez (Colorado Springs, Colo./Doherty), who tied for fifth at 9.825, and sophomore Annette Miele (Easton, Pa./Easton Area) and junior Shelby Gies (Pennington, N.J./Hopewell Valley Central), who both tied for seventh (9.800). Halfway through the meet, Michigan led Iowa, 98.500-97.625.
Miele was up first on beam but scored only 9.125 after over-rotating on her dismount. The next five up all hit, scoring an even 49.000 and saving the Wolverines from having to count a fall. Sampson posted the highest score at 9.875, followed by Zurales in second (9.850) and Martinez in third (9.825). The two other scores that were counted came from Gies at 9.775 and junior Reema Zakharia (Miami, Fla./Coral Gables Senior High) at 9.675.
The Wolverines put an exclamation point on the evening on floor exercise, scoring 49.175. Sampson was once again the star, performing a double layout during the first pass to post a big score of 9.925. Zurales took third (9.850), followed by Beilstein and Zakharia, who each tied for fourth (9.825). Sugiyama gave the team a score of 9.750, while junior Stephanie Colbert (Naperville, Ill./Neuqua Valley), in her only event of the evening, scored 9.675.
Michigan has four of its final six regular-season meets on the road, beginning Friday (Feb. 8) at Ohio State. The meet will begin at 7 p.m. in Columbus, Ohio.

Michigan is 43-7 all-time against Iowa. It was the two teams' 50th all-time meeting (16th in a dual meet).
The Wolverines have won 14 straight home meets against Big Ten opponents. Their last loss came on Feb. 16, 2007, to Penn State (195.900-195.525).
This is the fourth straight meet in which Michigan has scored above 49.000 on all four apparatuses. For the season, U-M has only scored below 49.000 during one rotation all season (48.975 on vault at the Cancun Classic on Jan. 4).
Joanna Sampson is the third gymnast since 2004 to post an all-around score of 39.600 or better. The others were Kylee Botterman (39.675 vs. Illinois in 2010; 39.625 at Michigan Tri in 2011) and Sarah Curtis (39.600 vs. Georgia in 2008). Her previous career-high score in the all-around was 39.550, set two weeks ago vs. Illinois (Jan. 19, 2013).
Reema Zakharia was in the lineup on three events for the second time in her career. She also competed on three events at the Masters Classic on Feb. 11, 2012.
Briley Casanova exhibitioned on vault, balance beam and floor exercise.
Annette Miele returned to the lineup on uneven bars and balance beam. She did not compete last week at the Minnesota quad.
Head coach Bev Plocki now has 594 career victories.

This is my first post! I am an "intermediate" scrapbooker and already own a Cricut personal cutting machine (cuts 12x6). I have become very interested in an embossing & die cutting machine through watching videos to augment my scrapbooking as well as make more cards (my friends have loved them). I have looked at Cameo but I don't want to make that big of an investment currently. I am trying to decide between the Cuttlebug & the Sizzix Big Shot. I am always somewhat confused about the functions of all the products so I'd love to hear some from some experienced users.
Which one have you found to be "better"?
Which one is easier to use & why?
Which one gives you the most options?
How do you use them? (for your purposes)
Which do you prefer for cards?
Which do you find was better value for your money?
Any advice would be fantastic - my friend & I kinda dove into scrapbooking and I feel like I missed some lessons along the way :).
Thank you.

FPSF Scholarship Fund: Get your needy friend a free weekend pass
The folks over here at FPH know what it is like to be 'livin' la vida 'broke-ah'. Having no money not only means no food, no shelter, no medicine but also no well deserved entertainment.

Lighten up anonymous ' Wow'. We are giving away free passes to people who can't afford them. Really, I am not a pompous jerk. I am really a nice guy. I kiss my mom as much as possible, love to play with my kids and the dogs, love chocolate croissants, etc. Just because I write some silly shit does not warrant you name calling. I am easy to find if you want to say mean things.
- RamonLP4
Good God yr right, Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Omar, instead of asking friends to nominate their down and out friends, let's give these promotional passes to Carolyn Farb. I mean sure Joe Blow could send an essay saying how his friend just lost his teaching job at HISD so he can't afford to see Weezer but why "isolate the 'needy'" as Wow says when we can have some rich socialite hanging out at the tent? Who do you think will bring the better weed? You think some down and out loser is gonna have better weed than Carolyn? Hell no!
- Wow
What a great way to ruin a beautiful idea. The editor must be a totally pompous jerk to isolate "needy" Houstonians by having people write people write about one anothers trials and tribulation. This really does reflect that the editor of this paper "kinda cares" about people and is really about promoting his music festival.

Ask a Vet and Get Your Veterinary Questions Answered.
It seems like an almost constant thing. He is an indoor/outdoor dog and was gone for around 4 hours today. It's like his basic motor functions are shot, though he hasn't involuntarily urinated or defecated as far as I know
10 miles or so...I am actually on my way to him now, my girlfriend called me with his symptoms. I would think it would be more like tremors as she said it was almost constant. She did just tell me he'd calmed some, but is very apprehensive if she moves away from him. I'm 20 minutes from there and will check back with you as soon as I arrive. Thank you so much for the prompt replies, please bear with me...
Ok, I've seen him myself now, and am still worried though a little less. He jumped up to greet me, but was a bit shaky. She (the GF) told me his eyes were very badly dilated, though they seem near normal to me now. They were almost completely black she said. He hasn't vomited or anything, and has even eaten within the past hour to no ill effect. Any further advice would be appreciated.
He seems pretty much normal now. He was disoriented and scared throughout that night, and when I roused him to go outside for the first time he was very shaky on his feet, almost like a newborn horse standing for the first time. His eyes were also dilated but they too normalized with time. Once he got outside he got slowly better but tired quickly. There was noticeable improvement in his demeanor, stamina and muscle control every time thereafter though. I guess this would rule out poisoning?
His symptoms were very similar to those suffered by one of my brother's boxers that was susceptible to seizures. I know he's an old boy, I just want him to have comfortable twilight years. Thank you for your correspondence.
He seems completely back to normal now, we were just outside playing ball for a good solid hour. As far as the vet goes, he hates them so I only take him when absolutely necessary. Like I said, he's old - I want him to be happy as long as possible, and going to the vet makes him mad (he pouts for days and pees on things of mine).
Thank you for asking

During the past several months, Senator John McCain and many Republicans have been demanding that President Obama "take action" in order to halt Russian seizure of land in the nation of Ukraine. Fox News even claimed the recent seizure of girls in Nigeria by Boko Haram stemmed from refusal on the part of President Obama to resist Russian actions with military actions on our part. Of course, Boko Haram leaders have absolutely no idea as to the nation of Russia nor something that is called, Ukraine. In this case, Barack Obama has kept his cool, drawn upon economic sanctions, and did not send a single American soldier into harm's way. Instead of an endless brutal war in Iraq or Afghanistan, the situation in Ukraine is now concluding in a peaceful manner.
President Vladimir Putin announced that Russian troops on the border of Ukraine will return to their bases. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu sent a similar message to US Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel. The crisis is defused, why?
1. America used economic weapons rather than military ones.
2. Ukraine industrialists decided there were economic consequences for themselves and their workers by continued chaos in the country.
3. Workers were sent into cities to end violence and protect their jobs.
I wonder if Fox News will make any mention of an Obama success story??

How big is your pile? You know. The pile of cat toys, tunnels, beds, perches…. The things that looked so cute and so promising at the store. You bring them home, unwrap them, proudly present them to your feline. Your feline, who then maybe, just maybe, might even sniff them before turning away, walk over and get in the empty box they came in.
Coco is proudly demonstrating a success story. This toy/scratcher/whatever it is, is wonderful. They love it. Smudge and Coco play around and under it every evening. Smudge loves to scratch on it and sit on top, sort of perched, and as you can see, Coco finds it a great place for a nap. We rub it with a little catnip to make it even more attractive, but really they love it no matter what.
This will be my entry for Weekend Cat Blogging hosted by ME, ME, ME.

The guacamole was perfection with a side of corn tortillas and smoky salsa verde.
They ate chips and salsa and guacamole and steak fajitas and slept in a real bed for the first time in days, indoors.
You may know it as the film in which Halle Berry dips her breast into a bowl of guacamole.
Try the guacamole "mocajete style" (made at your table), and give up all plans of putting on a swimsuit later that day.
The guacamole stayed a nice green even after sitting out for a while.
guacamole is a dish that provokes debate: tomatoes or no tomatoes?
No Cinco de Mayo celebration would be complete without an abundant bowl of guacamole.

Here before you, my young friends, is a curious book. It was written for children but grown-ups may also find it interesting. It wasn't meant as entertainment but it will captivate you nonetheless, and even though our narrative is serious, it contains many wonderful pictures. This isn't a book of fairy tales, legends or fables, but it will show you the way to a country that has no equal in any country on earth, for it was created by the All-Wise God in His own image and likeness. It's a wonderful place, not far from each of you, and it's called... your own soul.
Fr. Artemy, pastor of All Saints Church in Moscow here offers a way to prepare our children (and ourselves) for the sacraments of Confession and Holy Communion. Tens of thousands of books have been sold in the original Russian version, and now English-speakers can benefit from Fr. Artemy's gentle, sober counsel.

252 enroll in RI's health insurance marketplace
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — More than 250 people have enrolled in the new health insurance marketplace in Rhode Island that is part of the federal health care overhaul.
HealthSource RI said Wednesday it processed 252 applications on Tuesday, the first day. Some people have paid, and some have payments pending.
Director Christine Ferguson said on opening day there was more interest than expected in the marketplace, sometimes called an exchange. High website traffic caused temporary access problems for some users. The site appeared to be operating smoothly on Wednesday.
The exchange's call center fielded nearly 2,200 calls on Tuesday. Wednesday's numbers aren't yet available.
Ferguson said she expects peak enrollment in November and December for coverage beginning on Jan. 1. Most Americans will be required to have health insurance under the Affordable Care Act.

The first Rephlex release to be completely devoid of electronics, Victor Gama's Pangeia Instrumentos is a beguiling collection of compositions specifically written for his own handcrafted instruments. Angolan by birth but of Portuguese origins, Gama has been steadily building an impressive array of instruments since the early-'90s.
Pangeia Instrumentos are acoustic musical instruments, sound devices and sound installations designed and built through a process of experimentation with design, sound and music. The main focus of this project is the phenomenon of metamorphosis and evolution of musical instruments that span the period from pre-history to our days. This phenomenon suggests that form is a variable in the composition process and is intrinsically related to the composer's inner creative impulses and his closest material environment.
Pangeia Instrumentos, by Victor Gama
Low-Rise is a precarious assemblage of thousands of free-standing stacks of staples densely tessellated to create a city-like mosaic. Like a city, the staples are subject to the elements, on a micro scale. The slightest breath or vibration and the domino effect kicks in.

As we roll towards 2013, the tide is turning; leading online brands, including Apple, Best Buy, Four Seasons Hotels, and Rue La La to name a few, are now putting the features of HTML5 to use on their desktop sites with the goal of enhancing the online experience for customers using modern browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and IE9. We are at an inflection point: With consumer adoption of HTML5-"capable" desktop browsers widespread and web developer understanding of the technology rapidly maturing, HTML5 is no longer an emerging toolset for mobile and tablet development. Instead, it is fast becoming the de facto standard for web experience innovation across touchpoints.
As eBusiness teams evaluate the business case for HTML5 on the desktop, it is important to remember that this not an all-new technology— it is a collection of individual features that extend the existing W3C HTML standards. The decision to start using HTML5 or CSS3 does not require any changes to or throwing away of existing code. Instead, eBusiness teams can simply enhance the user experience of existing sites by incrementally using the new features of HTML5. HTML5 puts more tools in the box, but it doesn't change the fundamentals of how to build the website.

After reading a recent blog entry about brood parasitism in cliff swallows, a number of readers wanted to know more about the well-known sort of brood parasitism practiced by cowbirds.
If a vote were taken tomorrow to find the most popular bird in the country, it's doubtful that the cowbird would win. That's because the cowbird has the nasty habit of laying its eggs in other birds' nests.
It all started back in the days when American Bison ruled the Great Plains. At that time a rather nondescript grayish or black bird followed the herds around, feeding on seeds in the abundant supply of buffalo excrement. Settlers on the plains came to calling these animals buffalo birds.
But since the birds depended on wandering herds for food, they needed to wander as well if they wanted to survive.
The problem, of course, is that wandering birds can't tend their nests. So the buffalo birds decided to leave their young in the care of other birds, an arrangement that seemed to work, at least from the buffalo birds' perspective.
Then, during the 1800s, the prairies and buffalo disappeared, replaced by pasture and cattle. But the birds remained and started keeping company with cows instead of buffalo, eating insects in the grass, ticks on the livestock, and seeds and grain. The buffalo bird eventually became known as the cowbird.
Today there are two native cowbird species in North America, the Bronzed Cowbird of the Southwest and the Brown-headed Cowbird common in most of the United States and Canada. Both species still lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, which is to say that both maintain the parasitic tradition of their ancestors, much to the dismay of bird lovers and conservationists.
The main reason people find the cowbirds' behavior objectionable is that it threatens biodiversity.
Cowbirds as a whole lay their eggs in the nests of more than 200 other species of birds. And in most cases, because these birds tend to be smaller species, the young cowbirds come to dominate the nests, pushing out the other young or hoarding the food. The result is that the two cowbird species thrive at the expense of hundreds of others.

Kentucky Rebounds With Road Win at No. 15 Tennessee
March 23, 2014
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The No. 14 University of Kentucky men's tennis team rebounded from a loss on Friday night to top-10 ranked Georgia with a 4-1 dismissal of No. 15 Tennessee at Barskdale Stadium on Sunday afternoon in Knoxville.
With the win on Sunday afternoon, Kentucky holds its place in a tie for second place in the Southeastern Conference, as the Wildcats are now sporting a 6-1 record within SEC play, and improve to 13-5 overall on the season.
The doubles point proved crucial on Sunday afternoon, as the Wildcats won easily on court two, and collected a tiebreak win on court three to clinch the point and a 1-0 lead in the match. In its seven SEC matches this season, Ketucky with the doubles point win today, moves to 5-2 in doubles play in 2014.
On court two, the sophomore and senior pair of Beck Pennington and Alejandro Gomez got up a break early in their match with Jarryd Chaplin and Brandon Fickey of Tennessee to take the 5-3 lead at one point and then added in an additional insurance break later on to take the match, 8-4.
After that match clinched quickly, both courts one and three were at 6-6 overall and both on serve. After holds from both sides on both courts, both courts entered the tiebreak at 7-7. It would be Nils Ellefsen, the freshman from Oslo, Norway, and senior Ryuji Hirooka, the Tokyo, Japan native, who would win the tiebreak on court three before court one could finish as the Wildcats took the doubles point.
"This was another good win for us on the road," Ellefsen said after clinching the doubles point. "Ryuji and I did not play our best tennis today, but we were able to fight through and win the match."
In singles, Kentucky took a stranglehold of four matches early and never looked back, clinching the top-15 road SEC win with singles victories on courts two, three and six to win, 4-1.
The first singles match to finish was on court six, as the Lexington, Ky., native and senior Grant Roberts thoroughly dominated Andrew Dromsky, 6-1, 6-1 to give the Wildcats the swift 2-0 lead. Roberts led 5-1 before serving out the opening set. Roberts then took a quick break in the second set and ran with it to take the second set, 6-1, as well.
"Today was a great day for UK tennis," Roberts said after the match. "We had a tough match on Friday at Georgia, so to pick up a win at Tennessee on the road was a great effort. I felt like everybody came out today with great energy and took care of business. I was glad I could do my part and put a point on the board fairly quickly to help take some pressure off the guys still playing. All in all, I'm really proud of our guys today."
Beck Pennington, who won his match on court two with ease in doubles, also cruised in singles, making it 3-0 overall in the match with a 6-3, 6-2 win on court one over Brandon Fickey. Pennington got up a break at 4-2 in the opening set and then served it out to take the one-set lead before breaking early in the second set, and led 5-1 late. After a hold at 1-5 for Fickey, Pennington served for it at 5-2 and won the match with a 6-2 second-set win.
"We knew today was going to be a very important quote match following our loss to Georgia on Friday night," Pennington said. "We came out more focused and it showed on each court. We got the job done today on the road in both the doubles point and the singles."
The match was then clinched with a win for Alejandro Gomez on his fifth match point on court two. Gomez was leading 3-1 early in the first set and took care of business the rest of the set, winning by a break and capturing the first set. In the second set, Gomez got up a break early in the set again, and had fiuve match points before serving out the win.
"This was a better match for me today," Gomez said. "We had a very solid match today as a team. It makes it easier for you when you're on court and you see your teammates putting points on the board. Tennessee is a very goos team and coming into their house and getting a win is a good feeling."
Kentucky will continue its SEC season on Friday and Sunday of next weekend, as the Wildcats will play on the road for the final time of the 2014 season, as UK will travel to No. 30 Auburn on Friday afternoon before concluding the weekend on Sunday at No. 42 Auburn.

Props to Seagate for risking the same scenario at LG last week...
The storage giant has come out and claimed it will use CES to demonstrate the very first consumer product to employ USB 3.0. Now given LG's claim it will launch the world's thinnest LED TV - the LH95 at 24.8mm - at CES only to be quickly followed by news of a 6.5mm thick LED TV from Samsung this is ballsy stuff.
Still, while the claim may be dubious (I suspect a great many tied first places) it will show off one of its FreeAgent drives utilising Symwave's USB 3.0 storage controller. Seagate says the backwards compatible interface will operate at 10x the current maximum of USB 2.0 and its partnership with Symwave will give it an early head start on the competition.
"Symwave is honored {US sic!} to be working with Seagate in this show of the first USB 3.0 solution in a real world application of data backup, storage and media streaming," said Symwave President and CEO Yossi Cohen. "Customer reaction to our new PHY device for USB 3.0 has been extremely positive and we will continue to focus on delivering leading-edge products that will allow them to address the growing demand for high-speed storage solutions."
Naturally enough no real world time frame has yet been put on the table for this drive or what price premium the tech will carry, let alone the obvious point that you'll need to have USB 3.0 connectivity on your desktop/laptop to take advantage. Still, it's small beer - we want our ultra fast storage tech and we want it now...

The seats are wrapped in Black Leather with Black Suede center. Both the front seats are power and heated which make it very cozy during the winter months.

Bast of beauty and grace,
Protectress of the feline race,
Shield Maxwell from all hurt and harm
And keep him always safe and warm.
Watch over Maxwell from day to day,
And guide him home, if he should stray.
And grant him much happiness
And a good life free of strife and stress.
My good people it gives me great pleasure to announce that my fellow fur furfriends and I have finally arrived in the United States. We traveled in this big white thing and stayed all night in some place called Milan, Italy. I didn't like being there and scratched my nose up pretty bad trying to escape the cage they had me in. I don't like cages.
Then the next morning we traveled what seemed like forever in another big white thing. I fell asleep and woke up to my human mom's voice. Oh..I was so happy to see her but I really just wanted out of my fly kennel. The traveling wasn't over. We traveled in a car now. Kashmere hates cars and she drove me crazy with her constant whining and complaining. I heard something about Chicago so that must have been where we took the big white thing from Milan, then by car from Chicago to my new home.
Now about my new home. There's this big stupid female breed - I think it's a dog. She's always trying to smell me and steal my food. I give her a good whack every now and then. She yipes and runs. I like having that control.
My room is smaller than my other room and I don't recognize any of the furniture but I do have a new cat bed and count them 1,2,3 scratching towers...whoohoo. I have only been outside once. There was all this super cold funny white stuff on the ground so I didn't wander far. I went from my front door to underneath the neighbors car. I made tracks in the funny white stuff which could be very helpful if I get outside again. There's a stray cat outside my human mom calls him Buddy. He looks easy to sword fight with. I shall challenge him some day.
Well, off to catch some zzz's.
Supposively my daddy is trying to get me and my friends Kashmir and Szandor to Michigan. He told the nice lady who is watching us that he's having a hard time getting a hold of the airline. I hope he finds something out soon ...I miss my mom and I'm not really all that happy living with this dog.

The government has canceled or suspended 21 public works projects that were progressing too slowly or dormant for too long, the internal affairs ministry said Friday.
The action followed an assessment in fiscal 2012 of 454 public projects that either failed to start within five years of being approved, or failed to finish within 10 years. The size of the initial budgets carved out for the canceled or frozen projects comes to a whopping ¥473.5 billion, with ¥388.3 billion of the money freed up by the move.
A breakdown of the canceled projects shows that 15 were designed by the infrastructure ministry and worth a total of ¥446.8 billion, four were launched by the health ministry at a cost of ¥14.5 billion, and two were planned by the agriculture ministry at a cost of ¥12.2 billion.
Japan is trying to limit annual policy spending for both fiscal 2014 and 2015 to about ¥70 trillion per year, the same amount budgeted for this year, as pressure mounts from other developed nations to craft a credible fiscal reform plan, Finance Ministry sources said.
In the meantime, the fiscal 2013 budget drafted by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has thrown ¥5.28 trillion at public works spending as part of his "Abenomics" program, up 15.6 percent from last year.
Under a medium-term fiscal plan to be mapped out in August, Tokyo will promise to cover annual increases of nearly ¥1 trillion in social security costs by cutting other expenditures, the sources said. Japan's fiscal health is the worst among the industrialized economies, and the recent rise in Japanese government bond yields is threatening to turn it into a crisis.
Abe's government is counting on an increase in tax revenue from both an economic recovery and the planned doubling of the sales tax to 10 percent from 5 percent now. The first stage of the tax hike starts next year.
In a communique issued Tuesday in Northern Ireland, the Group of Eight leaders urged Japan to "address the challenge of defining a credible medium-term fiscal plan."
Abe's government will try to maintain the credibility of JGBs at home and abroad, but it is likely to face difficulty achieving the goals of the medium-term fiscal plan because it is unclear whether tax revenues will rise at the expected pace and whether spending can be reduced in the face of expected political resistance from the various ministries and agencies.
Japan expects to generate about ¥43.10 trillion in tax revenue in fiscal 2013.
In a longer-term economic and fiscal policy blueprint released last week, the Abe administration pledged to halve the ratio of the primary balance deficit to gross domestic product by fiscal 2015 from the 2010 level and bring it into surplus by fiscal 2020. A deficit in the balance means government spending cannot be financed without issuing new bonds.
Policy costs, including for social security, public works and other programs, totaled ¥70.37 trillion in the initial budget for 2013, which started in April.

Some kind of notebook stand is definitely worth considering, especially if you're planning on still using the integrated screen on your notebook. A good notebook stand will raise and angle your notebook, allowing you to achieve the ideal viewing angle using the built-in screen. It also makes using the notebook screen in conjunction with an external monitor far more ergonomically friendly.
The Port Ergostation for instance, offers a wide range of angle and height adjustability to the notebook user, while also throwing a powered USB hub into the equation. Andy has been using one of these on his desk for some time now, and has found it to be an invaluable tool, allowing him to comfortably view his notebook screen as well as his external 24in monitor.
If you're looking for a little more integration and functionality from your notebook stand, then the Logitech Alto Cordless Notebook Stand should fit the bill. Like the Port Ergostation, the Alto allows the user to angle their notebook in order to achieve the best view of the screen. However, the Alto also ships with a wireless keyboard in the box, the receiver for which is built into the stand.
The in-built receiver is also compatible with any of Logitech's wireless mice, offering the potential of a highly integrated, not to mention tidy desktop. The Alto also has a built-in USB hub, so you can keep things like your iPod dock or pocket PC cable hooked up, without the need to plug and unplug them whenever you connect or disconnect your notebook.

Valve Broke on Well Line
We have a well with 3 hydrants and one line run to a horse waterer (the well only supplies water to our barn, not our house). The shutoff on the horse waterer broke, so I had to shut of the main line at the well pump.
The line going to the waterer is a rubber tube with a watts brand shut off. Since the valve broke off, I'm wondering what all needs to be replaced. Is there a copper stem that is placed inside the rubber line? Just wondered if anyone has come across this?
Please post a pic.
The 1" hose (line) looks to be clamped onto the valve...just not sure how to remove the broken valve assembly so I can replace it.
And where not sure how to suggest something without seeing what you have.
3 Attachment(s)
Here are three pics. The one is of the top part of the valve assembly that broke off. As you can see the valve sits inside of the black hose and is clamped. Hope this helps.
I can't tell pipe diameter from the pics. It also look like the fitting in pic #1 unscrews. I believe you need one of these.
1 Attachment(s)
Here's a larger pic. Not sure if it will help....or maybe it's not larger. sorry
1 Attachment(s)
The nut part circled in red it part of the valve and the valve should turn with it. Just make sure the pipe is not turning.

You can do plenty of things with an old PC besides sending it to the recycling centre. Let's take a look at a few ways you might reuse an old PC.
At some point in your computing life, you'll end up replacing an old machine in favour of a shiny new computer. But what should you do with your old PC?
You'll probably feel guilty about throwing it out. After all, it's perfectly functional. When you first bought it, it was near state-of-the-art. If your new PC replaces one that's really on its last legs, by all means, take it to a reputable electronics recycler. But it's amazing how many users ditch perfectly good machines when they pick up a shiny new system.
You can do plenty of things with an old PC besides sending it to the recycling heap. Let's take a look at a few ways you might put that old system to work.
1. How to reuse an old PC: Convert it into a NAS or Home Server
If you're running a home network and have multiple users - you, your spouse, your kids - reuse as network-attached storage or even as an actual server may be just the ticket for an old system.
However, it's not just a matter of plugging an old PC into a network connection and starting it up. Most desktop systems aren't configured to be effective servers or storage systems. For one thing, they probably use too much power. You'll want to set BIOS power management to run cooling fans in quiet mode, if that option exists. You'll also need to set up the operating system so that it doesn't shut down at inconvenient times, yet run in a low-power state when it's not being actively used.
Bear in mind that you'll probably want to run your server 'headless' (that is, without a monitor), and sans keyboard and mouse as well. While you'll need a display and input devices for the initial setup, make sure the system will work properly without them. Having a scheduled reboot hang because the system halted during start-up (it couldn't find a keyboard, perhaps) is annoying, to say the least.
Also, the operating system is likely not well suited for storage applications, particularly for multiple users. While Windows can function well as a storage repository for a couple of users, you'll want to take the time to create user accounts for each person who might need access. In some cases, you may want to set storage quotas.
A better solution would be to install a proper network operating system. One choice is Windows Home Server. However, that will cost you somewhat north of £70, and WHS may prefer newer hardware. An alternative is FreeNAS.
FreeNAS is open-source software designed to turn a PC into a network-attached storage device. It's based on FreeBSD, a UNIX variant. If you're uncertain whether you want to commit to an unfamiliar OS, FreeNAS can be downloaded as a LiveCD version. This is an ISO file which, when burned to a CD, will boot off an optical drive and run completely from memory. You can keep your old OS on the hard drive until you determine if FreeNAS is suited to your needs.
