The male prostitute will sleep with a pre-op transgender receptionist before contemplating a full same-sex encounter.
"Hung" season 3 will take Ray Drecker closer to LGBT zone. When a rival gigolo is threatening his business, the male prostitute will take a transgender turn although it is against Thomas Jane's "no gay sex" mandate for his character.
Ray will bed down with a pre-op transgender receptionist named Kyla before contemplating a full same-sex encounter when the show enters midseason. Portraying Kyla is transgender actress Jamie Clayton who co-hosted VH1's "TRANSform Me".
For Thomas who has long maintained that the "no gay sex" mandate still stands for his character, "the idea of kissing a man was not a comfortable one for him," creator Colette Burson tells TV Guide, before adding "but he did great." He further reveals, "They had to kiss for hours. After his initial shyness, she became a woman for him."
Jamie additionally gushes on the newest twist, saying "For them to want to do this is great! You can't keep doing vanilla-sex stuff. [Costar] Jane Adams told me she was so excited that Hung was finally doing something a little crazy."
"Hung" season 3 will premiere in October on HBO. Also in this upcoming season, Ryan and Tanya are likely trying to get Jessica, Ray's ex-wife, to come back.

Howdy all, I personally currently have a inquiry. Has anyone found that Rockberries is without question now growing to a number of other places around the world not to mention shelling out a lot into advertising. And they presently have got Television advertisements here in Germany on Pro 7. These guys have furthermore completed an Initial public offering in Germany. Looks to indeed be growing rather huge extremely fast. Could anybody already have any cutting edge Tips as regards to Rockberries.com?

Please have a little patience with me - this question has been asked in quite a few ways, but I am not quite able to discern a full understanding of this subject: Audio output using multiple devices using Windows 7
I have a Zotac ZBOX HD-ID11 and am running Win 7 together with the latest Dharma nightly ....
I use HDMI sound to my SONY Bravia LCD telly for video's and the optical output for music and radio (via my amp).
Now - to have sound on the telly I need to select the SONY Bravia output device (either as WASAPI or Direct Sound) and when I listen to music I have to change this to the optical device ....
As this is rather tedious I looked into whether it was possible to have multiple audio outputs available (it is for other media devices) but struck NADA here
Seems that it is not possible with Win7 - however I am getting confused as it seems that a variety of Windows programs actually have this capability ??
So - could some good hearted soul tell me
- Is it possible - with my configuration - to enable multiple audio outputs ?
- If not - is it possible to change XBMC's Audio Device with a "single click" somehow instead of the tedious menu path ??
- Thanks for not flaming this

You know, I've never stopped to think about it before, but pasta is pretty much a seasonless dish. You can eat it with smothered with a meat sauce in the dead of winter or a cool pasta salad in the hot, dog days of summer. Pasta will do whatever you want it to do, it can be Asian, Greek, Indian, whatever. It's like a best friend that is always open to suggestions. As a matter of fact, I am officially declaring pasta my best friend, sorry Susee Shaikewitz, you've been replaced by pasta. Actually, Susee was my elementary through high school, and sort of into adult life best friend, I haven't technically talked to her in a few years. So, she is probably not too broken up about the whole pasta deal.
I was paging through Nigella's Forever Summer (Style Network's) (Style Network's), when I came upon her Soba Noodles with Sesame Seeds. I've made cold sesame noodles before, but always with peanut butter. This recipe didn't include the peanut butter and sounded less fussy, and just what I was in the mood to make. I was making a duck (which in the messed up way I'm posting, you haven't actually seen yet), and it was a five-hour-duck (which I kept singing to the tune of the Gilligan's Island song, you know the three-hour-tour part). So, I wasn't in the mood for anything too fussy or figidity (when I read Nigella, I start talking like her too). I changed it up a bit, because I didn't have any scallions, so I substituted some garlic chives, which I have in abundance. Also the picture you are looking at is the next day, when I shredded some of the five-hour-duck into it, any kind of leftover poultry would do, you don't have to make a five-hour-duck. Look at how many times I remind you that I made a five-hour-duck, imagine how many times I will say it when I actually post about the five-hour-duck.
Cold Soba Noodles with Sesame Seeds (and Five-Hour-Duck)
adapted from Nigella Lawson
1/3 cup of sesame seeds
kosher salt
8 oz soba noodles
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
5 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons sesame oil
handful of garlic chives
2 cups shredded cooked duck, or chicken
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over high heat until the start to look golden. Remove and put in a bowl.
Cook soba noodles in boiling, salted water as per directions on your package of noodles. When finished, plunge them in ice water to stop cooking, or do what I did and just rinse them quickly in a colander under cool water.
In a bowl that you are serving them in, mix vinegar, soy sauce, honey and oil. Slice the garlic chives and add them and the noodles and stir together thoroughly. Add the sesame seeds and toss again.
If you can, let the noodles sit for about 30 minutes for the flavors to blend. If you are using leftovers, add the shredded duck or chicken and serve.
This will be my entry for this weeks Presto Pasta Nights hosted this week by Hillary at Chew on That.

Love these tea bags They make a refreshing cup of tea without the tannin. I occasionally have another brand of white tea and find it bitter in comparison
Excellent taste & benefits & improved natural packaging over small box!
Posted by PurplePegasus on Mar 13, 2014 | Verified Purchase
This box comes in a complete shrink wrap, which is great for safety reasons! It opens horizontally, like a coffret, and is very well presented, all tea bags perfectly lined up in two East-West rows. The box itself is very glossy, makes for a gorgeous gift. However these tea bags, unlike the small box that came in a sealed foil, now come individually protected in minimalistic white paper with little print in green, loosely sealed, that is both easier to open and appears to be toxin-free. I was delighted to find no metal stapler in these tea bags either. Just sealed and the little string A major improvement. The tea is always excellent, well recommended by most famous natural medicine doctors, both on visual media and online. It is said to be alkaline forming and I love a bowl upon rising to keep my system filled with much needed electrolytes that my body doesn't keep well at all due to multiple organ dysfunction, particularly during sleep. TIP: unlike green tea, which quickly turns bitter if I steep it longer than roughly 64 seconds, this one can tolerate more steeping without the taste going into undrinkable. I hope that you will enjoy it as much as I do, and your friends might be impressed with the gorgeous, glossy coffret and surprisingly plain and natural looking individual bags. Minimalism always impresses those of us folks who are into organic and natural foods for health reasons; and it's much better for the environment as well! (No more foil touching my tea, yay!) :)

I drink one of these every morning - my first tea of the day. They are not my favourite white tea bags, but value for money they are the best - incredible price. If you want something reasonable, then these are good, if you want to spoil yourself, then you need to spend a bit more.

These are single-section tea bags, not flow-through. You may want to use 2 if you like strong tea. They are individually packaged, but only in lightweight paper. All-in-all though, these appear to be a great value in an organic white tea for us tea lovers.

Railroad Crossing Changes
Motorists all over Ohio should notice a change at railroad crossings this summer. Fayette County Engineer Steve Lubbe says the change is specifically for unprotected railroad crossings.
Unprotected crossings are ones without lights or crossing arms. Lubbe says the change was made through state law and applies at all unprotected crossings, regardless of whether they are in the city or rural.

Kim Kardashian Talks Babies With Ryan Seacrest — How Soon Will They Have Kids?
Kim Kardashian has been a married woman for less than two months, and baby talk has already started!
The 30-year-old reality star stopped by Ryan Seacrest's morning radio show on Monday, and when asked about starting a family Kim simply stated, "Give us a year!"
There's a lot to factor in when it comes to having kids, and KK broke down what she and her hubby Kris Humphries will need to sort out before doing so.
Location (location, location!) is the first thing they need to figure out! While Kris was with the New Jersey Nets last season, he is currently a free agent and could possibly be signed with the Oklahoma City Thunder. She said that:
"I think we want to figure out where he's going to play an where we're going to live. I would go to Oklahoma City. We're not going to live a separate life."

1The good Samaritan artist who turns trash into mobile homes
Kindhearted builder Gregory Kloehn's Homeless Homes project is providing cool little mobile domiciles to homeless people in Oakland, CA, which he creates using materials gathered while dumpster-diving in industrial neighborhoods.
Gregory's custom homes are around the size of a sofa, and they all come on wheels. They are charming and often retain the look and texture of the source material. (Source | Photo | Via)
2The artist who created inflatable shelters for the homeless using HVAC vents
Many of these creations are variations of a design concept that he calls ParaSITE. His ParaSITE shelters are custom-built assemblies of plastic bags and tarps that feed off of excess heat provided by building heating systems. Rakowitz's inflatable shelters channel that heat into warming their owners.
Rakowitz designs the shelters to fit the needs of the individual owners. The one at the top was designed to get around anti-camping laws in New York City. The one on the bottom has windows so that the resident can see any approaching threats. (Source | Via)
3The man who installed a "charity refrigerator" outside his home
People can donate food if they have an excess or take food if they need it. Salah, a Bahraini national, said that the idea should be implemented in Bahrain as the fasting month of Ramadan is about to start in the summer. (Source)
4The couple who decided to have a feast for the homeless after their daughter cancelled her wedding
5The artists who create appealing signs for the homeless to raise awareness
The basic concept behind the ongoing project is that the two artists approach homeless people on the streets who are holding signs and propose an exchange. As their tag line states: "A sign in exchange for donations and a hand painted sign." Nakayama and Hope offer $10 and create hand painted signs for each person they come across.
Having launched a blog in February 2012 (though their first post features a man that was approached in 2010), the duo document their undertaking with a before and after photo of these people they swap signs with along with a brief interview offering some insight into their circumstances. The signs themselves are bright and colorful in an effort to gain attention and feature all of the same text that their old pieces of cardboard had (including any misspellings and grammatical errors). (Via)
6The ONG who created a pop up store for people to donate clothes to the homeless
Made up of cardboard boxes, some of these displays have holes in them so that passers-by can hang their unwanted or unworn clothes on them. Homeless people would then be able to choose their own clothes from these pop-up displays.
Although many homeless people are given clothes at the shelter, these roadside stores make it easier for people to donate and help those who are less fortunate. (Source)
7The former homeless man who created the "Bicycle Library" to bring books to the needy
The "Bicicloteca" (the name is a fusion of the Portuguese words for "bicycle" and "library") lends books to people who don't have access to libraries. It is the brainchild of 61-year old Mendonça, a former construction worker who spent a decade living on the streets.
Green Mobility, a Brazilian non-profit organization which campaigns for sustainable transport in Brazilian cities, helped Mendonça get started by giving him his bike. All the books were donated by individuals and organizations.
After just one year, Mendonça has become a familiar face in the streets of Sao Paulo and the Bicycle Library has made more than 107,000 loans from its collection of 30,000 books. There are even some books in Braille. There's no paperwork involved in borrowing from the library; the service is based on trust and relies on the honesty of its users to return their books. (Source)
8The retired barber who gives homeless people haircuts in exchange for hugs
Anthony Cymerys started offering his barber services to those less fortunate in 1988, after hearing a sermon about the homeless. He had just retired and was only cutting hair for family, but the words he had heard in church were such an inspiration, he prepared his tools, put them in the car and started driving around town looking for people in need of his services. In the beginning, he helped people in shelters and convalescent homes, then he cut hair at the downtown YMCA, before moving to Bushnell Park. Every Wednesday, the park is packed with homeless people waiting for a relaxing haircut, shave and facial massage from the 82-year-old Joe.
As soon as he parks his 1996 Crown Victoria and connects his clippers to the car battery, Cymerys is assaulted with questions about who should be the first in his barber chair. He asks his customers about the desired haircut style, and starts clipping, trimming and shaving. After that, the former barber splashes some rubbing alcohol on his hands and proceeds to massage face, ears, neck, throat and shoulders. All he asks in exchange is a nice big hug.
Giving haircuts may not seem like a big deal to a lot of people, but it's actually very important. Homeless people have a hard time finding jobs because of the way the look, so Anthony is really helping them out of a hairy situation in more ways than one. (Source)
9The dry cleaners that offer free services for the unemployed
High Point-based "A Cleaner World" cleaners made a similar announcement in 2009. ABC News' local affiliate in Durham reports that for unemployed job seekers, A Cleaner World would clean a suit or a blazer and slacks, plus two shirts per week. Women could get a suit and two shirts or blouses or two regular dresses per week.
Elite Cleaners in Minneapolis has also generously followed suit. Owner Don Chapman has donated his services to 2000 unemployed -- an offer he estimates will cost him $32,000. (Source)

Russian President Vladimir Putin has added to his take-charge image by piloting a motorized hang glider to help guide endangered Siberian cranes to a new winter home, The Moscow Times reports.
A Kremlin video shows the newly elected president soaring through the air, followed by several birds who had been raised in captivity.
The flights were aimed at showing the birds a route to specially created wintering grounds in southern Uzbekistan, the Kremlin says in a statement today, according to the Times.
The Kremlin says the route to their traditional wintering grounds in India has become too dangerous because of poachers in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
In the video, Putin is shown making three brief flights over the arctic Yamal Peninsula on Wednesday as part of the "Flight of Hope" project to boost Siberian crane populations.
Putin, a former KGB officer, has been photographed in the past riding horses in southern Siberia, searching for anciety pottery in the Black Sea and swimming in a Siberian lake, the Times notes.

Rowan and Carl's wedding up near the Lakes in the beautiful English countryside was a real creative day. This was a wedding of two halves; firstly the guys went over to the local registry office in Grange-over-Sands to do the official wedding bit, then came to Castle Head and did the whole thing again for their guests. You could tell that this couple's life is one of art and theatre; Carl treading the boards in Liverpool and Rowan an artist, creating street theatre puppets amongst other things. Everything from the bunting to the homemade picnics, in beautiful old baskets; gave a real vintage wedding feeling to the day. The ceremony was fantastic with stories of how the happy couple met, readings and poems written specifically for them; and guests singing songs in celebration. The culmination of the ceremony was a tying of the knot… literally. All the guests brought along ribbons which they were invited to tie around the bride and groom's hands to show they were now man and wife.
I'm sure you will agree from the pictures; that it really was a special day.

|Korean Wedding Traditions
This is a very popular Korean singer, Taeyang, with the song 'Wedding Dress.' It is included here as a glimpse into the current life of young modern Koreans, and the influence of Western wedding traditions. The song itself is a poignant look at love.
From the olden times, there has been a saying all across Korea that men from the South make the best looking grooms (shin lang) while women from the North make the most beautiful brides (shin pu).Historically, the neighboring countries of Asia, especially China, perceived Korea as a 'country of courteous people in the East.' This epithet says something about the Koreans' traditional esteem for decorum, courtesy and propriety. Indeed, it is certainly true to say that Koreans are known to be very polite and friendly, and their hospitality is internationally acclaimed.
Attending a Korean wedding?
We have included many traditions from Korea. Please feel free to contact us with your comments, and any other traditions which you would like us to include. Enjoy reading!
Freedom of religion is guaranteed by the Constitution, and many of the world's major religions are active in Korea. Buddhism, Confucianism, Christianity, and Shamanism are the four major religions of Korea.
The Matchmaker – an Old Tradition
At one time, matchmakers were used for half of the weddings in Korea. Families would go to a matchmaker and present their young person with their resumes, and ask them to find someone that is compatible in status and earning potential. Koreans keep precise lineage records and these would be listed on the resume.Today, the matchmaker no longer exists, and some marriage arrangements are made through large, online dating services like Duo. Most weddings are Western style and these is no small Korean style wedding prior to the main event.
A note about surnames: Family names are limited in Korea and respect for lineage is powerful. There are only about 300 surnames. Families maintain careful records of their ancestry which are important in marriage, school entrance and job applications. Women do not change their surnames after marriage.
For over 2,000 years, the traditional Korean costume, the Hanbok, has been worn by men, women and children. Originally, the Hanbok was made out of white cotton, silk or a scratchy coarse fabric called hemp. Today Koreans wear Hanboks in many colors and types of fabrics.
The bride's attire might include a white sash with significant symbols or flowers. A headpiece or crown may also be worn.
The norigae is a hanbok decoration which has been worn by all classes of Korean women for centuries. It is tied to the skirt or the ribbon on the jacket. The knot on the top is called the Maedup.
The wedding feast or reception, (kyorhon p'iroyon)can be a mix of traditional and western cultures.At a traditional wedding feast, you would expect to find bulgolgi (marinated barbeque beef strips), kalbi(marinated short ribs), a variety of kimchee (pickled cabbage with a variety of spices, with other ingredients such as radishes, seafood). There will be many accompanying bowls of sauces for dipping.
The meal is always accompanied with a vast quantity of white, sticky rice (pap) as well as kimpapwhich is rice, egg, spinach and other ingredients rolled in seaweed and sliced into 1-inch rounds.Mandu, a dumpling filled with an egg roll filling – cabbage, carrots, meat, spinach, peanut butter, garlic, onions, deep fried might also be served. Soup will be offered, very frequently a kimchee type, or a rice cake soup (rice dumplings with chicken broth), or Twoenjang guk, a fermented soybean paste soup with clams.
Also popular are a light broth boiled from dried anchovies and vegetable soups rendered from dried spinach, sliced radish or dried seaweed. Steamed rice cakes (ttok) sometimes embellished with aromatic mugwort leaves or dusted with toasted soy, barley, or millet flour are presented as tasty ritual food.
A large variety of fruits and pastries will be offered for dessert. A spoon and chopsticks are used for eating.
In ancient times, the wedding day the weddings were held in the bride's yard or house. The groom traveled by horse to the bride's house and after the wedding ceremony took his wife in a palanquin (cart) to his parents' house to live. The bride and groom wore formal court costumes for the wedding ceremony. Ordinary people were permitted to wear the luxurious clothes only on their wedding day.Hand lanterns are used for lighting the way from the groom's home to the bride's home on the night before the wedding. Traditionally, the groom's family would carry a wedding chest filled with gifts for the bride's family.
Wedding ducks are a symbol for a long and happy marriage. Cranes are a symbol of long life and may be represented on the woman's sash.
In larger cities, luxury hotels will have 'wedding rooms' used specifically for wedding ceremonies. These rooms are decorated with a wedding motif and rented to couples.
Today, many couples have a more 'Westernized' ceremony with tuxedo attire and white wedding gown.
If you are bringing a gift to the wedding, do not expect that the gift will be opened in front of you. The Korean custom is to open gifts in private.
A reader asked us:
I would appreciate if you can assist me. I am living in Korea and I will be attending a Korean wedding. I am American and do not know what type of gift to give. In America we give money. Is that the same for Korean weddings? Thank You, Jake
We contacted www.korean-arts.com to help us with this question:
Thank you for contacting Korean-Arts.
Here is a description from the About Korea: Gift Giving in Korea" page on their website discussing the Korean wedding tradition:
Korean wedding lists often include hundreds of people that the bride and groom barely know, or don't know at all because one of the goals is to have as many people there as possible to show the import of the wedding. And this, it seems, works out quite well for the parents who must foot the bill. Wedding gifts usually include an envelope with from $30 to $100 in it from mere acquaintances and the envelopes are checked into the guest register at the front of the wedding hall and given to the parents of the couple after the wedding to help pay for the wedding (weddings in Korea are really expensive).
Close friends of the bride and groom, on the other hand, want their money to go directly to the couple and not to the parents so they sometimes give the envelope to the couple surreptitiously. Very close friends may instead give personal gifts like sleepwear or other clothing.
From April to May, when trees are beginning to blossom, young couples are found by Taedong River or Pottongang Hotel. They talk with each other sitting in a bench for hours. Most marriages are for love, but if one of their parents oppose the marriage, they will obey.North Korea is striving to construct utopia by socialistic ways, so the age of marriage is late. The suitable age for marriage is from 28 to 30 for a man, and from 25 to 28 years old for a woman. After the wedding, the couple will go to the statue of the late President Kim Il Sung.

text: Why Get an Online MBA? AIU Alumnus Ty Manns' Story Posted October 05, 2013 by AIU in Business Degrees Tags: Business Degrees, College Grads When Terrence "Ty" Manns (AIU Online MBA in Operations Management, 2006) retired from the United States Army after 23 years of active service, he immediately embarked on a whole new career path that would challenge his many talents. By 2005, Ty was running a division as interim division head after his boss left for another company. After 18 months as "interim" and winning the company's largest single military contract ($125 million) in over 100 years in business, he asked for the "permanent" title and was told he could not get the job because he didn't have an MBA. That year he started to search for a program and discovered AIU. "One year later I walked in with my diploma (and another $60 million of new business) and was told I could have the position, but would have to accept a lower salary (basically the salary I was making at the time) because I just received my MBA," Ty said. "So after nearly 30 months and $185 million in new business (as the interim, underpaid leader), I took my newly earned MBA to the market and earned my first VP job and doubled my salary! Thanks to AIU." Like many successful people, Ty believes in giving back. He is the founder of SAVE1000™, an organ donor program focused on increasing organ donations within the minority community, and also serves as director of the Organ Donor Ministry at New Birth Outreach Church in Columbus, GA. Plus, he's a volunteer film lecturer at Columbus State University. Currently, Ty is the Managing Director of TAG, a leading manufacturer of tactical nylon products for the Department of Defense personnel, and is responsible for the operations and management of a $30 million business unit. His daily responsibilities include overseeing product development, manufacturing, business development, growth and sales. "What's great about running TAG is helping America's military men and women. TAG is the leading manufacturer of tactical nylon products for the Department of Defense personnel, specifically the United States Special Forces. Every day, my company does something to help a soldier, airmen, marine, or seaman execute and achieve mission success. We often hear about our products from the users in the military, a parent, spouse or child that one of our products actually helped save a life. Nothing is more satisfying or gratifying." Ty's busy schedule also includes his position as the CEO of CME Independent Films, where he oversees the management of a growing independent film company. Ty writes and directs CME film projects while overseeing project development, all phases of production, distribution negotiations, and cast and crew approval. Ty is an incredible example of someone who can identify a goal or quest and make a personal and professional commitment to see that his wishes and dreams are fulfilled.

Take a look at http://www.lighttpd.net/ which is BSD licensed. You
start to go down a slipperly slope when you start introducing GNU
licensed items which would then require that all php code and such be
changed to reflect this position.

When it comes to the lumen output from a halogen bulb it´s true that you can get the same as a HID-lamp, but not with the same wattage. Halogen bulbs give max 37lm/W and HID 80-100lm/W. The halogen bulbs they use in slideprojectors and oh-projectors are not real halogen bulbs, they use a mix of xenon-gas instead of krypton, this give more lumens but less lifttime.
Here are some exemples of same wattage bulbs:
250W 24V xenon-halogen 50h 10000lm
250W 24V xenon-halogen 300h 8000lm
250W 24V halogen 2000h 5000lm
As I have said before the filament in a halogen bulb is smaller than the arc in a hid-bulb, this makes it much harder to control the light from a hid lamp, you need a bigger reflector with a hid-lamp than a halogen-lamp if you want use all light from the bulb. You can infact compare the halogen (12V-36V) filament size with a uhp-lamp arc size, they have about the same size and if you then compare the reflector size you find that they also are the same. This is why I recommend the PAR30 reflector it´s made to handel 10mm arc-sizes.

When it comes to do the same on a UHP-lamp modul, I can only say one thing, forget it. The reflector in a UHP-lamp is really small mine is 37mm (1.45") wide and 37mm (1.45") high and the cdm-t lamp is 20mm (0.78"), not so very much left of the reflector after you have cut a 21mm hole in it.

Good read for the diff in bulb types.....
"Tungsten Lamps
Technical lamps consist of a coiled tungsten filament mounted in a precision glass envelope. The envelope may have a vacuum or, more commonly, be filled with an inert gas such as argon or krypton. Typical technical lamp operating parameters are 2.5 to 12 volts and .02 to 1 amp. Color temperature ranges from 2,200 to 3,000 degrees Kelvin; lamp life may be as high as 30,000 hours.
Tungsten-Halogen lamps feature a tungsten coil filament mounted in a quartz glass envelope that has been filled with an inert gas plus a trace of halogen (normally bromine). This gas creates the halogen cycle: tungsten that has evaporated from the filament combines with the halogen gas. Convection currents within the bulb carry this gas to the quartz wall where it is cooled and then returned to the proximity of the filament. The heat of the filament causes the tungsten and bromine to separate, and the tungsten is then deposited on the cold portion of the filament.
This regenerative process prolongs the life of the filament considerably, and also eliminates blackening of the bulb by preventing the evaporated tungsten from condensing on the envelope. The Halogen lamp color temperature runs from 2900 to 3400 deg. Kelvin and are available in wattages from 10 to 250 at operating voltages from 6 to 24; lamp life ranges from 10 to 2500 hours. Luminous efficiency is approximately 22 lumens per watt.
Tungsten-Halogen lamps must be operated at voltages that maintain an envelope temperature between 250 and 350 deg. C. Cooler temperatures will not allow the halogen cycle to take place, thus causing bulb blackening and shorter life; higher temperatures will cause oxidation of the conductors and lead to premature lamp failure."
So Tungsten is similar to Xenon output per watt just aimed at lower watt range. Makes sense. Cept Halo doesnt emit UV and need that filtering. Xenon more color correct but be carefull with it. The guys link I posted earlier that listed enh spec was dead wrong. Which I can agree with I couldnt believe it myself. thats what my 175watt mh gives! Anyhow even though lower lumen its controled heat removed and focusable. So overall what gets to screen TONS brighter. The light engine is lots smaller too. So...at 22lumen per watt. Enh is 5,500 lumens. By reg. tungsten watt rating that is. Sorry for any confusion. I hate specs that are WRONG.

Hmmm you might want to run up a few tests for yourself on the cold mirror, i have some here thats far more efective then any dichoric reflector ive owned, and thats testing with a pro reflector as i posted a couple of posts ago. A dichoric reflector will only cool the light that it reflects, thus being not all so a large quantity of heat still comes from the light source, now if you run all of your light onto a cold mirror and reflect the visible light to the lcd, all of the light from the source is filterd and yealds a much cooler light.
How to run a cold mirror cold? well dont have a metal backing plate on the back of it as sujested by manny leading manufactures, so the heat doesnt build up on the metal plate at the back of the mirror, redirect it to a metal plate 2inches behind it and the mirror will just get warm, the metal plate will only get hot which u can easily cool with a fan or convection.

I agree cold mirrors are best. I already have 5 here to test with. One is in now and planning on staying there. hehe. But what you mean by they are better then dichrotic mirros I dont understand. They are a dichrotic mirror. So are hot mirrors. And many other types of special mirrors. Dichrotic just means its multiple layers of diff metal on glass in such a way that it filters and reflects. If you look into it or through it you see the multi colors of reflector from different fine metal layers that are imposed staticly to the glass. Dichrotic simply mean-multi colored. The ENH has a cold mirror reflector now. But I also have it aimed at another 4 3/4" one.

Were thinking the same! My pj is doing just that. No backing to cold mirror. Just a 50cfm (HOLLY COW!) fan behind bulb drawing out. I have cool air intake flow directed so it must pass cold mirror first and the hot backside at that. Should work. Yes? I will know tonight, Im THAT close to done. I'll be happy with a bright 5-6' image. From there its on to rear pj with same light engine.

All your setup sounds good bud, to give you a helpful idea, why dont you rivet a heatsink on the metal plate thats taking the heat from the back of the cold mirror? this will help keep things cool .

Kings Transit has one year to work out the kinks in the Hants West service.
Stephen Foster, acting general manager of the Kings Transit Authority, presented the councils of Windsor, West Hants and Hantsport with a proposal that would result in significant savings for each municipal unit during a joint council meeting March 27.
Proposal pitches one bus for Hants West
The proposal says the Hants West service partners would see their municipal operating contribution reduced from $397,057 in the 2013-14 fiscal to $214,156 in the new fiscal by eliminating one bus.
The recommended changes would result in $87,857 in savings for West Hants, $53,643 in savings for the Town of Windsor and $14,048 in savings for the Town of Hantsport.
Kings Transit currently has two buses travelling the Hants West routes 15 hours a day Monday through to Friday and 11 hours on Saturdays, with one bus dedicated to the Brooklyn run. According to Kings Transit, about 32,000 passengers boarded the buses in the 2013-14 service year.
The hours of operation for the remaining bus would be reduced to 13 hours per day throughout the week, and from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturdays.
The transit authority's proposal recommends assigning one bus to cover Brooklyn, Windsor and Hantsport. The changes would result in layoffs for two full-time employees and one spare operator.
The remaining bus would travel three express routes in Brooklyn that were originally scheduled with Acadia University students in mind, Foster said.
Coun. Shirley Pineo, a West Hants councillor representing Avondale and the Burlingtons, felt the bus passing through Brooklyn at 7 a.m., noon and 6 p.m. would not be convenient for seniors.
The schedule is not fixed at this point, but Foster stressed that the express routes will mean reduced travel times between Brooklyn and Windsor.
Pineo said she fears the changes will result in a decrease in ridership, and suggested the transit authority continue to examine who is boarding the bus in the Brooklyn area, when and why they are using the bus.
"I think we are going to lose some of the riders we have," she said.
Pineo added that it may be cheaper to subsidize cab fares for people travelling into town from Brooklyn.
Foster said he feels the reduced travel times may attract more passengers.
"These are expresses. They can be adjusted. We can put more in, or less, or alter the time of day," he said.
Windsor Mayor Paul Beazley commended Foster for preparing a report that shows how the significant cost savings that they asked for at previous joint council meeting can be achieved.
Foster asked council to consider allowing Kings Transit to conduct a one-year trial to test the successof the route redesign. He said the proposed routes are based on information provided by Kings Transit's drivers.
"Their passengers become their friends and they don't want to see anybody left behind."
Councils agree to allow trial, serve notice
West Hants Warden Richard Dauphinee offered up a motion calling on the three councils to discuss the proposal as individual units, allow for a fair, one-year trial to take place but also serve Kings Transit 12 months' notice.
"If it works we'll stay with it, if not, the clock is ticking," said the warden, in ending his motion.
The motion, seconded by Windsor's Coun. Scott Geddes, received unanimous support.
Patricia Bishop, chairperson of Kings Transit's board of directors, said the board must discuss joint council's motion, and the potential implications on the transit authority, before they can commit to a plan of action moving forward.
"I have no idea how the board will react to that. I don't think that they were thinking that you would put something like that on the floor so, now that you have, that is something that they're going to have to talk about."
The municipal partners are required to give Kings Transit notice of their intent to withdraw from the service nine months in advance.
"We didn't give nine months' notice tonight," noted Dauphinee. "We want to work over the year… let's take that as encouragement."

Contiki tours are great for cramming a lot of places into a limited amount of time. I've done one before and I thoroughly enjoyed it. For the places you've listed though, it's pretty easy to travel alone and meet people along the way. It comes down to how much energy you want to spend on logisitcs.
I'd recommend a week in London, a week in Edinburgh, 3-4 days in Paris and 3-4 days in Amsterdam, 3-4 days in Wales and the rest of it checking out smaller cities throughout England.
I took a 3-day weekend tour of Wales from London when I was there with a company called Shaggy Sheep. Cheap and easy way to see it with limited time and money. It's also easy to book day tours out to Salisbury and Stonehenge from London.
If you're based in Edinburgh for Scotland, you can easily train it over to Glasgow for a day, or maybe train it up to Inverness for a couple of days if you're willing to brave a Highland winter.
What I would do if I was going to those places in one month is start in London, spend a week there, then take a tour out to Wales and a tour out to Stonehenge/Salisbury. Then catch the train over to Paris (takes just two hours), train or bus from Paris to Amsterdam. Fly from Amsterdam to Edinburgh (dirt cheap with airlines like EasyJet and RyanAir). Then take the scenic route from Edinburgh back to London by train, stopping for a couple of days each in 2 or 3 places like York, Canterbury, Oxfiord, Chester, Bath, Warwick, etc.
It just comes down to how much money you've got and how much moving around you're willing to do.
The only other thing I'll add is that if you're in London for ANZAC day there are some pretty big parties around town.
That's all I've got off the top of my head. It will be a fun trip!
[ Edit: Edited on 14-Jun-2012, at 06:14 by talesbackpack ]
I travelled with Contiki once and loved it, but won´t probably do it again though. I met a lot of fun travelmates while on that trip and definitely had a good time with them, but what I regretted is that we couldn´t really imerge ourselves in the local life and culture. This is why I almost always travel on my own since then. Contikit might be interesting to travel to places that are not as safe or difficult to travel to, but in Europe travelling alone is really convenient and safe.
Thankyou Guys for your help, I never thought about that Much appreciated

The New York Giants are one step closer to the regular season and this week veteran safety Antrel Rolle was chomping at the bit to start practicing in full pads.
"It was bittersweet…we win some we lose some," noted the Giants' captain. "For the most part I think it was a very productive practice. It can always get better each and every day. I think today with our second round going out in the pads, we will have a more crisp and efficient practice".
Team leaders like Rolle have already noticed a faster pace to the offense for the Giants.
"It's definitely quicker," admitted the talented safety. "It is going to be a huge benefit to our offense. Right now with things coming along for them, obviously they are not where they want to be, and no one here is, but it is coming together pretty smooth".
With the offense increasing its playing pace, the defense is also challenged with playing faster during practice.
"It is a challenge for the defense," noted Rolle. "At the same time it is a good challenge. It allows you to buckle in and focus on your assignment and technique. I think it is a plus for the offense and a plus for the defense because we all know we go up against fast, no-huddle offenses during the season".
This season, Rolle has his eye on the progress of Devon Kennard and Nat Berhe.
"I'm anxious to see Nat [Berhe] in pads, and I am anxious to see Kennard in pads," said Rolle. "I think both of those guys will be some pretty good run stoppers."
According to Rolle, rookie Berhe has shown some potential. Although he still has more to learn and practice on, he is showing a great start with the Giants.
"He is very confident in his plays and for a young guy it is going to take him a little to learn our system," said Rolle. "Our system is not the easiest to learn defensively. Once you grasp one concept, then you grasp another and it turns into a domino effect," said Rolle, "I think Nat can be a very promising safety for us right now".
All in all, Rolle seems to be impressed with his teammates and the overall progress they have made.
"I think Eli looks great," said the veteran safety. "The receivers are going out there competing…when you see things like that you can always lift a hand and say that is good. You are making good progress".

Conan O'Brien and Team CoCo Land At TBS, Nation Rejoices
Fear not, Conan O'Brien fans; your favorite ginger funnyman is making his way back onto the small screen.
O'Brien, who was rudely ousted from his slot as the host of NBC's The Tonight Show earlier this year in favor of his predecessor, Jay Leno, has been snapped up for a show by TBS, which will begin airing in November. O'Brien will be bringing the laughs on Thursdays at 11 PM EST, getting a half-hour jump on his big-chinned nemesis Leno.
It had been widely assumed that O'Brien would sign a deal with Fox.
So what sort of shenanigans might audiences look forward to with this new venture? Sadly, we won't be getting any straight answers for the time being from O'Brien, who wisecracked about the deal on his Twitter account,
"The good news: I will be doing a show on TBS starting in November! The bad news: I'll be playing Rudy on the all new Cosby Show."
We're betting he'd look pretty good in the pigtails.

That's more than market penetration--it's domination. For CIOs such as Lev Gonick at Case Western Reserve University, the writing is on the wall: Soon, laptops will be playing second fiddle. That means CIOs must have an enterprise application strategy for these small, powerful devices.
Why You Care
The barriers to smartphones becoming an individual's main computing device are falling. The Google Nexus One, for example, has Wi-Fi and a 1GHz processor, and it can handle external flash storage up to 32GB. Devices such as the Apple iPad and "smartbooks" (netbooks with 3G access) are essentially oversize smartphones; some business users even run Skype on smartbooks, allowing the devices to double as phones. Gonick concludes, from reports that his engineering team provides on smartphone security and adoption rates, that it's just a matter of time before all university employees will be able to do business primarily on mobile devices. Students already do, he observes. And Case Western now offers to students a smartphone-accessible intranet portal that not long ago was designed for laptops.
The Real Deal
For some job functions, such as sales and field support, the smartphone is supplanting the laptop. Other industrious users are accessing Web-based enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management applications. "If you don't need to do a lot of heavy spreadsheet work, writing, or editing of documents, there's a good chance there's an app for what you need, or if there isn't, somewhere to get one made," says John Jackson, vice president of research at the analyst firm CCS Insight.
However, Charles King, analyst with Pund-IT, says that the shortcomings of today's smartphones--poor input capabilities, small displays, and a lack of processing power--limit their use as laptop replacements. Gonick adds security concerns to the list. In fact, security remains the widest gap between smartphones and laptops, but it's narrowing. BlackBerry Enterprise Server provides a secure and reliable connection to Microsoft Exchange so companies don't need to be as concerned about regulatory compliance or threats to private company material. And Exchange ActiveSync now works on the iPhone to protect corporate e-mail access.
What You Should Do
Analysts say smartphones will remain complementary to laptops for now. But that will change within five years as functionality improves, processors get faster, and more apps (including support for open-source software) become available. At Case Western, Gonick is preparing for the shift by making sure internal services work on mobile devices. If you don't have a plan for testing enterprise services on smartphones, King says, it's time to develop one. What's more, any new enterprise application you deploy will likely come with a smartphone version. You should view these not as ancillary but as an inevitable part of the future.
This story, "Why You Need a Smartphone Application Strategy" was originally published by CIO.

Shine Your Light On Me - Poem by Sam Eliot
When bluebells chime dreary and dull
And the sun's too dim to light my day
When Blows delightful breeze with tempestuous vigour
And as disguised comes December in attire of may
When melodic prune sings a doleful tune
And the gilded bees are too unsightly to view
When the steps as paws the strewn up goons
get their break at me to hew
baby you be my raft on sea
and shine your light on me
When the rising sun is full of murk
And Fresh morning breeze is smog impure
When the glorious dawn flashes its smirk
Like an old withered toothless boor
When the bulky clouds and steadfast hills
Fix its ends to prison my day
When the sun it brings bag full of bills
sum i must defray to stay
Baby you be my freedom key
And shine your light on me
When the bright day fades into sombre night
And the black shadows lay over restful sky
When the broods of day crave for the light
hunts dwellers of night with their hungry eyes
When the voiceless stars and moon
Lay all contemptuous and strewn
As the chilly breeze it croon
The same old lonesome tune
Baby you be ever esprit
And Shine your light on me

And it's both thrilling and depressing.
– From environmental writer/professor/activist Jon Christensen in LA Observed's piece: "From 'Smogtown' to Model for the World?"
"It's a tantalizing idea, isn't it?" Jacobs responded when I asked him what he thinks of California as an example. It's true, he said, that Chinese officials have been visiting California for years to learn how to monitor and reduce air pollution. In some cases they've implemented solutions in a few years that took California several decades.
But Jacobs offers some important caveats. Most of LA's smog came from cars, but some of it came from manufacturing that has gone overseas in recent decades. "Be careful when you ship something off to another country: you're exporting pollution," he said. "We allowed corporations to go and set up in cheaper more authoritarian places," he added. "They don't have to build in costs for pollution control. But the discount you're getting is at somebody else's expense."
As much as 20 percent of China's pollution is caused by exports to the United States, Jacobs said. Some of that pollution drifts back over the West Coast on the prevailing winds, and the carbon dioxide China pumps into the atmosphere adds to global warming.
Jacobs also said that while Chinese officials–and officials from other governments as well–are often eager to learn about scientific and technological solutions, they're not as quick to embrace another element of California's success: the ability of citizens to get access to information and to sue the government to take action. Some technocrats here have sometimes publicly wished that they could have the power of authorities in China just for a day.
But if the history of Smogtown is any guide, the power of the people is key to success. Public protests, environmental organizers, nonprofit lawyers, investigative scientists, crusading journalists, dedicated public officials, and democratically elected leaders all contributed to enacting laws and policies that have steadily ratcheted down pollution levels through regulations, taxes, and incentives.
Perversely, that success now leaves Jacobs worried about his hometown, too. "My biggest fear is public complacency," he said. We've paid our way out of our biggest problems, and we no longer "have an active, zesty engagement," he said. Aside from the hardcore activists and Prius drivers, "I'm not convinced Californians are dynamite environmentalists. People hate smog but they love their cars more. It's a passive environmentalism," he said.
"We've improved technology. We haven't changed the culture," Jacobs concluded. "We're a stabilized pollution island."
– Then there's good, old Jerry Brown, as visionary and sweepingly rhetorical as ever. So what if he embellished about L.A. inventing smog to make a point? From Politifact California …
First, it's clear L.A. has no ownership over the term smog. Brown sounds like he was having some
fun with the "invented in Los Angeles" portion, from listening to him speak. Still, he was literally and blatantly wrong.
News articles from as early as 1905 credit London doctor Harold Des Veaux with coining the word smog to describe natural fog contaminated by smoke, according to the Oxford English Dictionary.
Great Britain's affliction with foul air is referenced in Shakespeare's Macbeth, written in 1606. But its soot-choked skies date as far back as the 12th century, when wood became scarce and residents turned to burning coal to keep warm, according to a history of the country's air pollution by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
It's clear that other urban centers fought the effects of smog long before anyone imagined the metropolis we call Los Angeles.
So, what kind of smoke was the governor blowing?
"Jerry Brown — brilliant as he is — is confusing some facts," said Chip Jacobs, author of Smogtown: The Lung-Burning History of Pollution in Los Angeles. "We didn't invent smog. Smog has been known to arise in many parts of the world well before he was born."
We were headed for a False or Pants On Fire!
Then, Jacobs added this comment: "Brown did have something right in his jumbled pronouncement — the Caltech professor."

Talk:Air conditioning
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit Let's Move
Come on people! Let's move! This has been selected for collaboration this week! --Mosquitopsu 18:18, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)
edit Economics
Looks like the Economics section needs to be shuffled into the article better. --Mosquitopsu 14:57, 2 Nov 2005 (UTC)
Yeah, sorry, I was just going to go straight from the concept that air conditioning allows skyscrapers to the concept of the people that work in skyscrapers evolving by suicide, but I realised that the context of the article allows me to explain the fact that air conditioning allows for skyscrapers in terms of the air actually being worked harder so that it could cover more volume and then buildings could be built bigger, then I thought of the whole "sky scrapers" semi-pun, 'maybe they could be there to clean all this extra air', and so I got a bit carried away. It's almost a separate article really, but I think part of its funny comes from the fact that it does describe the economic effects of air conditioning, only in a very long-winded and tenuous way. So I like it how it is. But then I have a very weird sense of humour. I'm sure people don't mind reading long things, and 'featured-article status' which we're supposed to have been nurturing this thing to achieve practically demands it. --Carlos the Mean 06:37, 6 Nov 2005 (UTC)
edit In"air"e or In"air"ane
Which is better? I started with inaire for a direct replacement of human in inhumane to air in inaire. But, in inairane sounds better. What does everyone else like? --Mosquitopsu 16:39, 2 Nov 2005 (UTC)
We talk about "inhumane" treatment of animals, so keep inhumane. On the other hand, this is an issue of anemal rights (anema- is the Greek prefix for wind). So just choose your pun.
By the way, a small reminder. Remember to vote for next week's mundane object colonization (Uncyclopedia:Mundane Object Colonization of the Week). This is turning out to be one of the better articles on Uncyclopedia. --KP CUN 18:23, 2 Nov 2005 (UTC)
I like inaire better, it took me a few seconds to get it, but when I did I literally laughed out loud, whereas inairane is a bit obvious. Obvious things are usually less funny. --Carlos the Mean 06:31, 6 Nov 2005 (UTC)
edit Sweet Picture
I like the picture. Goes right along with the article! --Mosquitopsu 14:53, 3 Nov 2005 (UTC)

RORC Commodore Mike Greville commented: 'The idea for a merger came out of a strategic need for RORC to find a location for its growing race management team; as we began to explore it further, it became clear that the combination of their respective strengths would open exciting opportunities for both clubs which are not available to either alone. Having a substantial base in Cowes for the benefit of the team and members alike is a major step for RORC, together with the addition of several hundred members.'
RCYC, Cowes Vice Commodore Amanda Dreyer commented: 'A merger with RORC gives RCYC, Cowes an enlarged membership; the benefit of RORC's international brand; a strengthened financial base and a professional management team - an exciting opportunity for development and growth in RORC website

Hey Gang,
A friend of mine wants to tan a 45lb Beaver, to make into a rug. He requested the the webbing between the toes are plyable and same with the tail. I never Tanned a mammal this large, I tried a squirrel or two, but thats it. Any suggestion would help. He skinned the big tree chopper and salted the hide, I suggested after 48hrs, re-salt and let dry until we are going to jump in and tan this thing. Any Ideas?

This response submitted by Bob C on 3/26/99. ( email@example.com )
Jim, I haven't seen a beaver come back from the tannery with the feet or tail soft. I'm not sure it can be done. Good luck, Bob C
This response submitted by Perry on 3/26/99. ( email@example.com )
I'm glad you answered that one that way. I always use
artifical tails( when they are the right size) and webbing
was always stiff. On the smaller beavers( 12-16 inches) I
skin the tails and carve a form out of foam( I know, I should
just cast the little &*#$%^ but I don't do that many. Will
commercial tanneries even try and tan the tails?
This response submitted by Bruce Rittel on 3/27/99. ( email@example.com )
It looks like you're facing doing a mini-rug, somewhat like you would a Bear - but on a smaller scale. Bob and Perry's advice was right on. You will have to face mounting the feet and tail, and maybe the head if you want to, and be satisfied that they will not be soft and pliable. Tan them - but mount them too! Actually tanning the Beaver shouldn't pose too much of a problem, but remember to degrease that Beaver! They have a very persistant fat content. You may also encounter a lot of work fleshing that baby - myself, I'd use my shaver on it. For tanning a rug - My choice would be EZ-100, simply for softness and its resistance to moisture. I've had too many rugs brought in to be repaired with hard cracked spots where the other tans have simply washed out due to moisture or wetness where they've lain.
