Wholesale Survival Cookware & Utensils
A mess kit is a collection of silverware and cookware. Mess kits supply you with pots and pans to cook over an open fire. Mess kits are portable and light, so they wont cause any strain while carrying. We offer both civilian mess kits and military mess kits. A civilian mess kit usually contains (among other items) a skillet, a kettle (which may also serve as a coffee pot), a plate, a cup, and cutlery. The first type of mess kit is a civilian mess kit, which may serve from one person to a family of eight. While its functionally is similar to a one-person civilian mess kit, military mess kits are designed to be even more compact, using their space as efficiently as possible. Thus lids will almost always be used for preparing, cooking, and/or eating, and usually come in two or three pieces. As such, it may sacrifice certain features, or use other features to complement it. Mess kits of almost any type may also include, or be complemented by sierra cups (also known as sierra mugs). These are compact drinking or eating vessels, usually no more than 10 cm (4 inches) wide and 5 cm (2 inches) deep. They are conical in shape, wider at the top, and typically constructed of stamped aluminum or stainless steel, with a looped wire handle. Utensils are portable and light, wont take up too much space in your pack because items are stored compactly by nesting them in other components. Such kits are typically constructed from aluminum, though enameled steel is also common, and some items (such as cutlery or plates) may be made of plastic. Any camping cookware made out of aluminum is lightweight, rust resistant, and warms up quicker than many other metals. A 3-piece chow kit generally consists of an interlocking knife, fork and spoon. A 4 and 5 piece chow kits are also available, that includes extra interlocking features such as a screwdriver or can opener.

Photo Gallery: Coach shot in San Bernardino
Related stories: Social media reaction to shooting | Eisenhower High School grieves for wounded coach
SAN BERNARDINO - Steve Johnson, Eisenhower High School's popular award-winning boy's basketball coach, remained in a Loma Linda hospital Tuesday night, recovering from gunshot wounds that he said were the result of a robbery at a local park.
Johnson, 47, of Yucaipa, was shot several times in his upper torso, after stopping at Seccombe Lake Park on Fifth Street in San Bernardino Monday night before 8 p.m. to use the bathroom on his way to get gasoline, San Bernardino police said.
Johnson said he was approached by three unidentified black men, Sgt. Gary Robertson said.
The men demanded his wallet then shot Johnson with a handgun, striking him several times in his upper body, police said. Friends of Johnson's said he was struck four times, including once in the abdomen and once in the arm.
The men fled on foot having taken no property, police said. Johnson drove himself to a nearby police station where he was taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center.
The wounds were not life-threatening, police said, but news of the incident has rippled through the Rialto community, where school district officials, students and parents expressed shock over how the well-liked athletic director and former math teacher would end up the victim of gun violence, which in San Bernardino last year resulted in 47 homicides.
"We are shocked and saddened at this horrific news," said Syeda Jafri, spokeswoman for the Rialto Unified School District.
Harry Stenzhorn, a friend of Johnson's who visited the Eagles coach in the hospital, said Johnson was alert but in a lot of pain.
"This certainly shouldn't happen to a person like this," Stenzhorn said. "He would always go the extra mile for you and not just those he knew, anyone."
Johnson was inducted into the Rialto Sports Hall of Fame in 2011 and was chosen as the The Sun's and Inland Valley Daily Bulletin Coach of the Year in 2009 and 2010.
Eisenhower won California's Division II state title in 2009 with a record of 32-3 - the first San Bernardino County boys basketball team to ever reach a state title game.
"The outpouring of love and support from not only the Rialto education community but all over the Inland Empire for this championship human being has been tremendously overwhelming," Jafri said.
"Steve Johnson's selflessness and unyielding dedication to the children of Rialto is matched by his kind spirit. Our hearts at this time are with coach Johnson's family."
The Eagles played their regularly scheduled Citrus Belt League game Tuesday night, where they routed Redlands High School, 62-33.
Those in the park Tuesday afternoon said the site has fallen apart in recent years.
Indeed, piles of trash have collected in the parking lots. The restrooms are locked, plastered with graffiti and smell of the soiled diapers and human feces laying near the outside walls.
"It used to be a really, really nice place," said Michael Patton, 65. "Families came. This used to be a beautiful place. You could walk through it at night. This place is destitute."
Patton said he likes to relax at the park in the afternoon. But he always leaves by sundown.
"If you're here after 8 o'clock, you're either homeless or looking for something," Patton said. "I wouldn't show up here after 8 o'clock."
A 40-year-old homeless man named "Kevin" said one takes chances by spending time in the park.
"I don't think this town is safe for me period," he said. "I'm homeless. I'm white. You're probably safer walking the streets. It's dangerous (in the park)."
Danny Fowler, 41, summed up what the park's reputation among locals.
"People get robbed, killed, everything like that, know what I mean?" he said.
Anyone with information on this case should contact the San Bernardino Police Department at 909-384-5742, or the Hot Line at 909-384-5656.

HOUSTON - The owner of a southeast Houston repair shop was robbed and locked in the trunk of a car by a group of men posing as potential customers, investigators said.
Houston police said four men drove into the parking lot of Jay and Are Garage on Mykawa and told the owner they were interested in purchasing a used car. Police said the owner then agreed to take two of the men for a test drive in the car.
Police said once in the car, the driver backed into the garage while his partner pulled out a gun and demanded that the owner hand over his wallet. Police said the owner told the men he didn't have any cash, but still handed over his wallet.
Police said the men then locked the owner in trunk before taking off. Police said the owner was able to push down a small portion of the back seat from inside the trunk and wave to an employee for help.
"I think it's a terrible thing," said Gregory Staten, who owns an appliance repair business next to the garage. "Very nice person, very kind, very giving person"
Staten said he knows the owner of the garage because he is the landlord for the entire strip center next to his garage.
"It makes me feel very sad because if it happened to him it could easily happen to me or someone else," said Staten.
Police said the garage owner escaped with only a cut on his forehead. Still, Staten said this is a warning to other business owners in the area.
"Well, we're going to have to get together and hire security. We're going to have be mindful of our shoppers and let our shoppers be aware of the things that are going on," said Staten.
All four men got away, but police said they have a good description of the bandits. Police said the owner of the garage recognized the men as previous customers of a small food store he also owns.

GIF Is Officially 2012's Word of The Year
And justice prevails.
According to the Oxford American Dictionaries, GIF is officially the word of the year! Finally this sacred art form, invented by CompuServe in 1987, is getting the recognition it is so deserving of.
GIF even beat YOLO in taking out the title of the word of the year. Cue Drake being all:
The dictionary defines GIF as "a lossless format for compressing image files" aka a thing of beauty and intrigue. The dictionary sits on the fence with its pronunciation, though, saying it can either be 'jif' or 'gif' which has computer enthusiasts up in arms over at Gizmodo.
"GIF, as in an acronym... Graphics Interchange Format. GIF. Graphics. GRAPHics. HARD G. We don't say 'Jraphics' that would be stupid. Who ever came up with the quote definition needs to have their head exploded Scanners style. Lossless? Really? Which planet are you pseudo-animating?," CyaniCs-IT types furiously.
AustinGuy2 bites back: "No, 'technically' only "JIF" is a correct pronunciation. This is the way the creators of the format defined it, and they are the final arbiter. Unfortunately, ignorance has lead to a hard-G pronunciation in common usage, which just sounds stupid to my ear (because it's *wrong*). Like saying "I'd like a gin martini" with a hard-G sound. Ugh. Please people, Jiff and Jay-Peg. That's the correct way to pronounce them. Stop doing it wrong."

Good Afternoon All,
I am pretty new to we-design and am building a site for my artwork. I am stuck with how to properly build this photo gallery and have it positioned where I need it to be. The gallery must be positioned perfectly because it needs to line up with the background image that acts as the frame for the gallery images. I have designed this based on % in the attempt to eventually make it responsive to four different screen-size ranges. When I test what I have so far it just falls apart when it hits the different browsers. It does fine in dreamweaver's live view but when I test it in any browser either the background image won't show up, or the images stack up on the left side of the page, and it does not respond at all when I shrink the screen. I know I need to learn a LOT and am studying web-design everyday, but in the meantime I need to get this site up while I continue to learn. ANY and ALL help is so so so appreciated I am just stumped. Thank You in advance!
Here is the jsfiddle link to view the code. If this post is not formatted correctly or will somehow deter people from answering PLEASE let me know.
I corrected some missing " errors in your code, but it's hard to see anything in jsfiddle. It won't find the images of course, so it just shows a bunch of alt-texts.
Can't you put the page somewhere online and post a link?
Hey guido2004, Thank You for responding. I have put this code up on my site www.colinbarclay.com Each picture is represented by a green box and the background - solid blue. Just let me know if there is anything else you need.
What is wrong with that page?
Hi squigworm. Welcome to the forums.
The first problem is the fixed width on the .page_container div. With that in place, you can't have any responsiveness, so the first step is to remove that width. You can center the background image if it is something fancy ... I assume the blue bg at the moment is for test purposes? (Otherwise, just use a color instead of an image.)
hey guido2004, I was able to work on it after you responded and realized I had something wrong on my end with the main_full css file being linked. I fixed that and realized the background image is coming up just fine. I then realized the images are only collapsing to the right side of the page in Firefox. I am now in the process of trying to make it responsive. thank You again for taking the time to look and respond. if you see anything I should be doing different please let me know. Thank you again, Colin
Hey Ralph.m, Thank You ! and thank you very much for responding. Yes, the blue background page is just for testing purposes. Ok, so I will remove the fixed width all-together, and will center the background page, as it is indeed something fancy :). In regards to centering this image, would position: center; - or - margin: 0% auto 0% auto be an appropriate way to do this in conjunction with the responsiveness? Thanks again for the help !
Place the image as a background image on the containing element. So the CSS would look sommat like this:
.page_container {
background: url(/images/bg-image.jpg) no-repeat 50% 0;
The 50% value will center the image horizontally.
As a rule, bg images are not all that responsive, though there are things you can do about it, such as this:
Thank You again for the help ralph.m, much appreciated. man...the thinking that goes into this stuff can be so brilliant ! I will implement the code you suggested and work with the fix from voormedia.com (which I now have bookmarked) when I get home in a few hours. In regards to the 21 individual gallery images that go inside the gallery div. I have 4 folders in my root directory. One folder is for the gallery images (and their roll-over versions) saved at 100%, the next is for the same images saved at 85%, the next 60% and the next 35%. I have also set up the css media queries (large_css, medium_css, and small_css) to those percentages as well. I have TRIED to set the .html to call a different css file depending on the screen size which will come along with the correctly sized versions of the images. Is this logic correct in terms of getting the different size images to show up when the screen size changes ? or do the images need to be re-sized a different way to work properly ? Thanks again ralph.m.
You can actually just set a %width on images, and the browser will resize them itself, so you can just use the one same image in all situations. (Older PC browsers tended not to render the images so well, but not sure how they handle this now, but I assume it's OK, as this is a common approach.)
The downside is that you are asking people on small screen (mobiles etc.) to download images that are larger than needed. So some clever people out there are working out ways around this. It's still a developing area (the perfect solution hasn't arrived yet, I'm pretty sure). Here are some useful links, though:
All the same, if someone is viewing a gallery on their mobile, they've got to make a decision whether it's worth the downloads or better to wait till they get home. I'm not so worried about the image issue, but it's still worth finding a solution.
Once again...Thank You for taking the time to help me, really appreciate it. I am finding out as I go that responsive design is still very much in the early stages of its inception and there are not yet clear solutions for everything. I was initially going to try and design this gallery for all size devices at once but I found out that is so much more work then I could have ever imagined, so I have had to put the mobile size design aside until I can at least get the larger size orientations functioning clean and fast - it is amazing how much there is to consider, ie.. what you mentioned above in regards to mobile browsing. I am making great progress, and I do have a few more questions but I think I should read these articles and see what I can accomplish first. Thanks again ralph.m. Hopefully the next thing I post on this thread will be the link to a finished product!
Hey ralph.m, I was wondering if you might know why - www.colinbarclay.com - does not work properly in firefox ?. I have tested it in chrome, safari and firefox. When I open it in firefox the padding goes awry and collapses to the left and down. I am going to continue searching but thus far I cannot find a clear answer as to what firefox in particular does not like about the code. I have the code up on jsfiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/squigworm/Xfcdu/ -
I don't see a problem in FF (Mac) but it might be because of your % width on .gallery_container. Given that the page is not flexible at this stage, just set a px width on that container, as you don't always know otherwise how the browser will calculate % into px.
Hey ralph.m I am starting to think it is something local with my firefox. You, and about 5 other people say they see no problem in firefox. ..I spent the better part of two days trying to figure out what was wrong with the code - and looks like nothing was wrong all along .. wowww .. Hey live and learn. Those links you sent are awesome, I am starting to understand a litttttle bit more about the responsive design style. I have some work to do before I ask anything else or try to go any further. Thanks again for all of your help, it is much appreciated.
Could well be. Make sure to refresh the page and/or clear the cache. Browses store older versions of a page often, and you sometimes need to flush it out before you see the latest version.
Hey ralph.m, The site is up at [http://www.colinbarclay.com . I was wondering if you wouldn't mind taking a look and seeing if you could spot any ways to speed up load time. I have the current code up at [URL="http://http://jsfiddle.net/squigworm/6ZLyC/"]http://http://jsfiddle.net/squigworm/6ZLyC/](http://www.colinbarclay.com) So far other people have spotted room/need for improvement in the following places - slow load time, IE has the default link borders showing up (I am about to work on this one <-) and one person who opened it in firefox is seeing the images collapse to the left of the screen. If you have any suggestions I am al ears. Thanks again for all of you help.
The first thing that's really obvious is that the page's background image is way too big (downloads very slowly). It's actually about 2.2 MB in size, which is about 10 to 20 times larger than it should be for a web image. If you have Photoshop or Fireworks, run it through Save for Web, and that will reduce its size massively.
Yea that is pretty big. I wasn't sure how much that would effect it, but clearly...quiet a bit .. Thank You I will alter the image size with Photoshop

After checking a page I'm working on for Accessibility it turned out fairly well. I found [Wave (Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool) after reading [URL="http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=133891"]this](http://wave.webaim.org/) sticky note in this part of the forum. In your opinion do you think this is a good online evaluation tool for Web Accessibility ?
BTW: Some of the links in this sticky need to be removed or updated
No, there is no such thing as a good accessibility evaluation tool. I've said it time and again in this section of the forums (for excess details see my other posts) that accessibility isn't like code validation... a computer can't just look at code and say it's accessible... accessibility depends entirely on the end users needs and is subjective (like design). You need to test for accessibility yourself using guidelines that exist. Computers cannot perceive the way disabled people are affected.
Can I meet that half way with a evaluation tool ?
There are certain things that automated tools can check for, such as adequate contrast between foreground and background, the presence of alt text on images (although they can't tell if it's appropriate), valid HTML, scope on table header cells, etc. But these tests often give so many false positives, and miss so many genuine problems, that they aren't particularly useful - even the good ones.
You can use it as an aid since some of the criteria state that the webpage must be machine accessible and that you use formal markup grammar. Though like was stated the program can only try to "guess" what might constitute a barrier. For example duplicated ID values or links WAVE used to be one of the better tools but they are only rudimentary aids for humans at best.
I understand, a real human with disabilities is the best solution.
Not really. Welcome to the wonderful world of accessibility. The needs of someone who's blind are completely different from the needs of someone who is deaf, are completely different from someone who is epileptic, are completely different from the needs of someone who has only a keyboard, are completely different from someone using voice output but no monitor, are completely... you get the idea.
I like WAVE because all the items it points to are things you should fix. I can second the people on the board who've said other evaluation tools give you false positives or tell you to "fix" things that are correct. In that respect, WAVE is one of the few tools that restrict themselves to things that an evaluation tool can be helpful with. That leaves you a lot of ground to cover, but as long as you understand that it's just a help, I recommend it.
To move beyond that there are three things you can do. One, study Section 508 compliance, the US govt guidelines on what is required for federal contracts. These are things it's good to learn to deal with; the federal guidelines have already become sort of a de facto standard for a lot of people in the industry. Two, check out the WCAG 2.0 at W3C. These guidelines still need work so I do not code to all of them, however, the W3C has a lot of explanation and discussion of WCAG and it may be the best single location on the web to learn about a lot of the different aspects of accessibility. Three, one of the most important things you can do for your webpage is sit down with the XHTML and read it through. An absolutely critical thing that evaluation tools CAN'T do is tell you if your page makes sense. But it's pretty easy to tell if you just read your XHTML line by line. Anything you don't understand or that confuses you, rewrite until it passes this test (you'll hear this referred to as "Is your code linearized?". You'll find that a lot of things about accessibility you pick up and learn the best practice and you just code that way from then on. Checking your linearization however, is an important final procedure to perform.
Thanks for the referrals. I understand about making sure your code is linear, one thing just half a year ago I didn't understand but now I do
It's this kind of sloppy compromising which damages the end user experience. Cutting corners shouldn't be an option if you want to present yourself as a professional at what you do. Accessibility validation tools aren't some kind of simple quick patch until you get round to doing the job properly. Either your website is accessible, or it isn't. There's no meeting it half way. While I understand your reservations towards manually doing anything that may be able to be checked using a piece of software, it's a simple fact that disability isn't something that can be measured and replicated effectively using computers. There are checklists for WCAG, tonnes of articles and tutorials on web disability, great books on the subject... why compromise your audience with a half-effort attempt when you can maximize the visitors experience.
Technically, several real people with several real disabilities are the best option though it's not always possible. I always say the key to understanding disability is to emulate the limiting factors yourself... browse the web with the monitor turned off to experience blindness, turn off speakers for hearing loss, browse while "hand trembling" to experience motor function deficiency (and perhaps via speech). Be creative in your approaches but whatever you do, ensure your website is as seamless for people as possible. You need to consider how people input/output against machines and determine their complexities.
Section 508 is built upon WCAG, its the most definitive example of recognised factors that affect users on the web. However it's worth mentioning that WCAG isn't perfect in itself... it doesn't cover disabilities like dyslexia, lingual issues, computer disability or mental health impairments. Disability is anything which can inhibit the end user, whether physical, intellectual, emotional, social, psychological or mechanical... a broader perspective if required when testing for completeness.
I understand what you mean
That's what I don't like about it. WCAG tries to write web pages to be completely accessible and it includes things that are NOT a good idea for a webpage to do. It's "too" extensive. Your webpage should fulfill it's obligations for accessibility, but it decreases its own effectiveness when it tries to make up for the accessibility failings of browsers and / or other devices. Access keys are just ridiculous. You do not make the web more accessible when you require your user to learn a completely different navigation paradigm on every website. Especially when in testing there were cases where the access keys either took precedence over, or fired along with the special commands built into accessibility software; naturally this Decreased the accessibility of the website for those it was specifically geared towards.
While there are points I disagree with both ways, I think Section 508 did a pretty good job of culling out the key ideas that were useful and abide by the Hippocratic Oath to "do no harm". That's generally where I like to start and if I can provide progressive enhancement from there, that's great.
I could not agree more. I so often find that people unfamiliar with the subject assume that accessibility means "handicapped" and falls under the ADA or something. Language is probably the single largest accessibility issue. Machine limitations require serious consideration (it was not that long ago, the average laptop fell into this category). I find that people are most attentive when we talk about these issues, because they're the ones they haven't thought about before.
I don't agree that section 508 is close to perfect either, WCAG is a better specification as it covers a wider range of potential issues and ways to resolve them but like all things, it's nothing more than a tool. While they both can only give people some best practices, it can't do the hard work of researching, empathising and catering to the end users needs. I think the one thing about accessibility is that not everyone has the empathy to be able to work with their audience.

Dressing Up Thanksgiving Leftoversby Toby Amidor in Uncategorized, November 23, 2012
Turkey Day leftovers are good on their own, but you can also transform them into something magnificent. Check out our easy, mouthwatering ideas for dressing up your Thanksgiving leftovers.
Use the turkey carcass, leftover dark meat and even leftover veggie sides to whip up this deliciously warming soup.
Recipe:Next Day Turkey Soup
Leftover turkey breast combines with beans, chili peppers, and jack cheese makes a mean chili.

Make a delish panini using turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce.
Recipe: Turkey, Dressing, and Cranberry Panini
Combine chunks of leftover turkey with celery, apple, grapes and pecans for a main-dish salad or light lunch.
Recipe: Waldorf Salad.
Mashed Potatoes
Leftover mashed potatoes create the most scrumptious potato cakes (shown here in Giada's recipe), croquettes, or use them for a Shepherd's pie. Want something cozy? Reheat them with chicken or vegetable broth and puree into a creamy potato soup.
Cranberry Sauce
Mix leftover cranberry sauce with mayo and use as a sandwich spread. Want extra spice? Turn up the heat by adding chopped jalapeno to leftover cranberries and whisk into your favorite salad dressing.
Make killer quesadillas using leftover stuffing, string beans, turkey, and cranberry sauce.

RICHARD Lawrence, from Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service, has been given the Queen's Fire Service Medal in the Queen's Birthday Honours List.
The deputy chief fire officer (DCFO) has held the position in Hereford and Worcester since 2011 and received the award in recognition of his distinguished service.
In addition to his day job as DCFO, on a voluntary basis, he is the chief fire officers association's national capability lead for high volume pumps and was responsible for organising and delivering the largest deployment of pumps ever seen to the various flooded areas of the south of England.
This in turn saved thousands of properties and helped thousand more recover from the devastating floods of early 2014.
Mr Lawrence started his career in 1986 with Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service and then moved to West Midlands Fire Service in 1989.
10 years later he moved back to Hereford & Worcester and took up the position as station commander at Redditch Fire Station.
He has continued to move through the ranks and became deputy chief fire officer three years ago.
"I am very honoured and delighted to be awarded the Queen's Fire Service Medal," he said.
"I'm extremely proud of the work that the Fire Service does in protecting our communities and of all the dedicated staff who contribute to this both locally in Hereford and Worcester and across the country.
"The Fire Service response to challenges such as the significant and widespread flooding that affected much of southern England earlier this year reflects this and I am very pleased to receive the medal for my role in that response."
Chief fire officer Mark Yates said he was delighted to hear about his deputy's award and said it is richly deserved.
"Richard is an officer of the highest calibre and it should be noted that this award is only occasionally given to a deputy chief Fire officer; such is the regard Richard is held both locally and nationally that he joins other more senior colleagues," he said.
"To alleviate wide-area flooding across the country Richard has worked tirelessly for many years to organise the country's high volume pumping capability and I'm delighted his hidden work is being recognised.
"I'm also sure his excellent work in Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service to make it one of the very best in the country is being recognised."

It's the final countdown ... of 2012
Published: Thursday, December 27, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 26, 2012 at 1:00 p.m.
When the clock strikes twelve, it's time to get yer ya-ya's out. As part of Downtown Countdown, the city of Gainesville's free New Year's Eve celebration on Monday, the Gainesville band Nasty Habits will roll out a special tribute to The Rolling Stones in honor of the latter's 50th anniversary.
Downtown Countdown
What: City of Gainesville's New Year's Eve celebration featuring music by The Nasty Habits and The Irie Ones
When: 9 p.m. Monday
Where: Bo Diddley Community Plaza, 111 E. University Ave.
Cost: Free
Mick Marino, lead guitarist for the Nasty Habits, says the show, which begins at 9 p.m., is modeled after the Rolling Stones' current 50th-anniversary tour performance. It'll feature many new songs not heard at the Nasty Habits' "Free Fridays" performance in September, including "Start Me Up," "You Can't Always Get What You Want," "Let It Bleed" and "It's Only Rock 'n Roll (But I Like It)."
"There will be many new tunes. It's a revamped show, and it'll feature some great guest artists," Marino says.
The Nasty Habits also includes members Bill Kellogg, Tony McMahon, Kenny Shore and Gregg Jones, who receives lots of positive feedback for his Mick Jagger impression, Marino says.
"All the girls scream at our Mick Jagger. We're lucky to have him — he does the theatrical part of the Stones that's so important," he says.
Local reggae group The Irie Ones will open for The Nasty Habits at 9 p.m. David Ballard, coordinator of the Free Fridays concert series for the city's Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs, says he chose the lineup because of the success of the bands' previous plaza performances.
Complimentary noisemakers will be passed out to the audience, and a countdown clock will mark the progress toward midnight, Ballard says.
"When we get to the stroke of midnight, everyone will make a joyful noise," he says. "Then the band will strike up and play a few more."
Previous plans for the Downtown Countdown had the event being held on Southeast First Street, but since the temporary ice skating rink at the plaza has been canceled, Ballard says the concert will be held on the plaza stage.
"It's a great stage, it's a great venue and people really enjoy coming out," Ballard says.
Marino, who also organizes the annual Gram Parsons tribute concert and plays in the Skydogs, an Allman Brothers tribute band that played the Bo Diddley Plaza in 2010 and 2011, says he grew up during one of the greatest times for music.
"We love sharing music we grew up with. It's hard to top. It was brand new; no one had done anything like it before," he says.
Marino says he also is excited to play the venue because of the positive feedback he receives from the audience.
"The opportunity to play for Gainesville, and for our family and friends, is what we love the most," he says. "We'll probably never stop playing until they put us in wheelchairs."

Twitter to Track Your Web Habits for Ad Purposes – Here's How to Stop It
In a blog post yesterday (July 3rd), the social networking site announced they are "experimenting with new ways to tailor ads" to make them "more useful to our users in the United States." With a few simple clicks, you can stop them from doing that to your account.
The goal according to Twitter is not to increase the amount of ads users see, but to provide those that may be of more interest to them. In order to do that, they need to know what you're into. To do that they need to know what websites, online stores, etc. you visit regularly. How they want to go about doing that is by dropping a little "cookie" into your browser that will relay that info back to them even after you've logged off your account.
To stop that from happening (if you want to), is pretty simple. First off, log into your account, then click the little gear symbol next to the search box. From the drop-down menu, select "Settings".
This will take you to your general settings where you can change your user name and e-mail address, reset your password, etc., etc. Scroll down to the "Personalization" and "Promoted content" near the bottom of the list. Chances are the boxes next to each have green check marks in them, even though you may not have ever put them there. Simply uncheck them, and click the "Save Changes" button at the bottom of the menu.
My browser (Google Chrome) did not have this particular feature (that I'm aware of anyway), however some browsers have a "Do Not Track" option you can enable in the Settings options. In the event yours is one that does, and you have it enabled, you'll see a "Do Not Track" option appear between the two settings pictured above. If that doesn't already have a green check mark in it, click it until it does. Again, whatever changes you make to your settings won't take effect until you click that "Save Changes" button at the bottom, so make sure you do that.
Happy tweeting!

2010 is coming to a close, so I thought today would be a good day to look a back at what we've done here at Christian Web Trends over the last year, and see what we can learn from it. As I did that this morning, I learned some important things that will help me next year, and I think they'll help you too, especially if you blog.
So, first let me share with you the top 10 Christian Web Trends Posts of 2010, and then I'll follow that with some take-aways.
10) How Facebook Ads Filled My Church
9) ChristianityToday Weights in on Online Churches
8 ) 10 Reasons Every Author Should Blog
7) Pastor Bans Church Leaders from Facebook
6) 5 Myths Believed by Those on the Social Media Sidelines
5) Which is more important for churches – a website or social media?
4) Silver Bells Special and Chime in on NE1 Changes
3) The 10 Commandments of Social Networking
2) 20 Ways to Share Your Faith Online
And the top post on Christian Web Trends in 2010…
1) 31DBBB – Day 1: The Elevator Pitch
Learning points
1) Group blog projects rule! The top 2 posts were from projects where a group of bloggers joined together to blog about and discuss a topic. In reality, the 10 posts with the most comments in 2010 were all from the 31 Days to Build a Better Blog series (including a record 249 comments on Day 1), but in order to highlight other topics I only included one post from each project in the top 10 list. Group blog projects are so powerful for so many reasons I invite you to read the wrap-up post from the 31DBBB project for more on that. We'll be doing 3 or 4 group blog projects in 2011 including the Less Clutter, Less Noise project starting January 10.
2) Blog about blogging. The people who read the most blogs and comment most often are… bloggers. So, it makes sense to blog about blogging because most bloggers enjoy discussing blogging and want to get better at it.
3) Social media is hot. 5 of the top 10 posts were written directly about social media and 2 others discussed social media indirectly. It's a hot topic. People are excited about its potential and trying how to best use it to connect with people and achieve their goals. And if blog posts about blogging are popular, it makes sense that Facebooking about Facebook and tweeting about Twitter would also resonate.
4) Social media is hot #2. Not only are people very interested in reading about social media, but social media is one of the most important ways we make new connections and keep people connected at Christian Web Trends. Managing our own Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn profiles is part of that and so is having the Tweet & Facebook Share buttons on each post.
5) Christians are closing the technology gap. It seems to me that more and more Christian churches, ministries, and individuals are really starting to get online communication. Churches have a reputation for being way behind the technology curve and a lot of them still are, but I'm seeing more and more Christians who understand they need a good-looking well-thought-out website, and understand search engine optimization is extremely important, and understand connecting & building relationships through social media is huge.
6) Thank YOU! Christian Web Trends has grown tremendously in 2010, and we're extremely grateful to you for that. This place would be a barren wasteland without you. Thank you for reading. Thank you for your comments. Thanks to all of you who guest posted. Thanks for sharing our posts on Facebook and Twitter. We're making plans for an even better 2011, and with your participation it's going to be awesome!
What do you think was the best post (or series) on Christian Web Trends in 2010?
And if you've posted a "best of" post on your blog, post a link and tell us what your top post of 2010 was.

I've been craving Indian food all weekend. I don't know if it's because I'm sick to death of stuffing and green bean casserole, or because I saw Life of Pi over the weekend (it was the dinner-at-home-in-India scenes, not the marooned-on-a-life-raft-in-the-middle-of-the-ocean that did it), but I can't stop thinking about vegetable curry. And naan. And dal. And mango lassis.
My very favorite Indian dish, the one I order every single time I'm at an Indian restaurant (even though I study the menu each time as if I'd order something different) is saag paneer, and it's super-easy to make at home. Saag paneer is greens cooked with cheese — at Indian restaurants the greens are usually spinach; sometimes mustard greens are used, but you can really use anything green. Paneer is Indian cheese. It's often translated as "cottage cheese," but don't get it confused with the cold, lumpy stuff your grandma eats with peaches. Paneer is smooth-yet-firm, with a mild flavor, almost like fresh mozzarella. The texture is similar to firm tofu and if you want to make this recipe vegan, you can use firm tofu cubes instead. As for the paneer, you can buy it in large grocery stores or in Indian markets, or you can make it at home pretty easily.
Bal Arneson's recipe calls for broccoli, rapini (broccoli rabe) and spinach, but you can switch it up a bit depending on what you have on-hand — use more broccoli if you can't find rapini, or substitute mustard greens for the spinach if you have a whole bunch of those. Serve the sag and paneer with basmati rice or naan — make your own if you're feeling ambitious, but I've been seeing naan in stores a lot lately so you should be able to buy it. If not, warm pitas make a pretty good substitute.
2 cups chopped fresh broccoli
2 cups chopped fresh rapini
2 cups chopped fresh spinach
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, plus more for frying the paneer
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1 tablespoon garam masala
1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
Pinch salt
1 cup cubed paneer (Indian cheese)
Steam the broccoli, rapini and spinach in a stove-top steamer until they are bright green and tender, and then set aside.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger and cook for 4 minutes. Add the garam masala, fenugreek seeds, and salt and stir well to toast. Stir in the steamed greens and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Heat another nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Add the cubed paneer to the hot oil and cook until golden, turning frequently. Stir the paneer into the spinach mixture and serve with rice.
Serving suggestion: Serve with rice.

Germany-based company agrees to pay $15 million in LeNature's fraud
A Germany-based equipment manufacturer will pay a record $15 million fine to avoid prosecution in the financial collapse of LeNature's beverage company of Latrobe, according to U.S. Attorney David J. Hickton.
Krones Aktiengesellschaft and its American subsidiary, Krones Inc. of Franklin, Wis., signed an agreement with prosecutors that ends a criminal probe of the company's alleged role in helping former LeNature's CEO Gregory Podlucky skim $118 million by inflating the cost of bottling equipment for LeNature's Phoenix plant.
Hickton said on Thursday the penalty is the largest ever imposed in the Western District of Pennsylvania.
Hickton said Krones cooperated in the investigation that led to Podlucky pleading guilty to mail, bank and wire fraud along with money laundering and tax charges. He is serving a 20-year sentence in a federal prison. His wife, son, brother, two former company executives and another former employee are serving prison time for their roles in Podlucky's $861 million scam that led to the beverage maker's demise.
Court documents indicate Krones' involvement with Podlucky's intricate plot began when he decided to expand the company's operations to Phoenix.
The U.S. Attorney said lenders financing the equipment were given inflated costs by Podlucky, which were then confirmed by Krones officials. Those numbers were about twice the actual cost of the equipment, court records show. Eventually, Krones returned about $118 million of the overpayments to Podlucky, records indicate.
The investors later learned about the deal from an informant and filed suit against Krones and its German parent company.
When LeNature's went bankrupt in 2006, the Phoenix equipment was sold at a fire sale for $18 million, according to bankruptcy court records.
"We entered into this agreement with Krones because we are satisfied the penalty is of a magnitude adequate to deter Krones from becoming an instrument of a criminal scheme in the future, as well as to deter others from transacting business by deceitful means," Hickton said.
Konie Brenneman, a spokeswoman for Krones Inc., said the company has cooperated fully with the U.S. Attorney's office in its investigation of LeNature's.
She said the settlement includes $110 million in payments to private parties and the bankruptcy trustee representing creditors.
"Krones denies having knowingly participated in LeNature's fraudulent activities in any way, and admits no fault or misconduct in its dealings with LeNature's," she said. "In the course of doing business, Krones was manipulated by LeNature's and subjected to fraudulent and unethical activities."
Legal experts say the deal struck with Krones is not unusual.
Bruce Antkowiak, a former federal prosecutor who teaches at St. Vincent College near Latrobe, said that a company can't be imprisoned, and a trial would have likely resulted in a fine anyway.
"Prosecutors primarily are looking for restitution as a result of prosecution. If a prosecutor can achieve that by an agreement and forestall a jury trial, that would benefit the government more than a trial and forestall the cost," he said.

Before I get to my tip story, here is another story: in the three+ years I have been on the Photoshop team, I seem to have been absent whenever someone showed up to take a team picture. 2 weeks ago (I was on vacation last week) Photoshop TV was here to visit while I was actually here! So, I am in episode 32, which is very exciting for me. Though at the time, I didn't know who was filming and why, so I was more nervous than my usual funny.
My tip story: I was at a local computer store with some friends as they were buying USB memory cards that were deeply discounted. A friendly woman was helping out my friends, since she found the good cards with a great discount. She said that she was buying them for her work on some project involving Photoshop. My friends told her that I worked on Photoshop, which was my first time that I ever really told anyone in public (I've been trying to keep it under wraps until recently). So this was my first positive experience with a real customer! Most people when they hear I work on performance want to tell me where their pain points are with Photoshop, no one is ever happy with how fast something runs, including me.
She said that she recent bought a new machine and the salesperson from this other store told her to buy things that would make Photoshop run faster, which would have been nice if the advice was accurate. I gave her some pointers, but realized that this blog is probably a good place to do some of that as well.
The tips:
1) If you only have one hard drive and work with large files, consider getting at least a second hard drive and set that to be your scratch drive. If you can pack three drives into your machine, I would recommend one with your system and Photoshop folders and the other two drive RAIDed together and make that your scratch disk. RAIDing the two drives lets the OS treat them as one large drive but with almost half the access time (double the speed). Very nice.
2) Multicore or mutliprocessor machines. When Photoshop is working with images that are in memory, it will divide up the tasks across as many processors as you have. There is a curve associated with the number of processors and the speed up that you see, because past a certain point, overhead of communication takes more and more of your speed. So, with each processor you add, it will be faster, it is just a matter of how much faster per processor. Two processors is a nice area to be in, four if you can afford it. Around eight or more, I do not have enough experience with that configuration to comment.
3) Get the fastest memory and memory bandwidth motherboard that you can. Many of the Photoshop operations are memory bandwidth bound. This is very true with multiple processors, since each processor needs a certain amount of memory bandwidth to move image data around for processing. Also the more memory you get, the better. Photoshop will use up to 2 Gig of memory (or 3 Gig depending on the OS and machine), but anything beyond that amount, the OS uses for either other applications or caching. So, if you are switching applications a lot or working with a lot of image data, there is a big win for more memory.
4) GPU. For now, this doesn't matter that much. A recent video card is good, GPU doesn't really matter. True, GPUs matter more and more, and many applications use GPUs, so having one might help you in the future or it might not, but it really will not do you any good right now. I'd say wait until you know you need one, because by then, the performance per price will be much better. Until then, a video card with fast 2-d will be the biggest win in this area.
We try to make Photoshop do the most the hardware that you have. So, the better the hardware, the better the performance, with the exception of GPU.

I have always been sceptical of the extensive theories of peak oil built around the study first published in 1956 by M King Hubbert. Those studies have always seemed to ignore the reality of technical progress that opens new frontiers and reduces costs. They have been much used to support the idea that oil prices should be ever increasing, on the basis that scarcity should be reflected in high prices.
The reality is that oil provinces (think of the North Sea) keep going well beyond their original schedule, and recovery rates from established fields keep rising. On average, even after some advances in reservoir management technology, only some 50 per cent of the oil in place is recovered from most fields, so there is a long way still to go. On top of that, we now have tight oil (the oil equivalent of shale gas), which BP in its latest Long Term Outlook now expects to provide some 9 per cent of global production in 2030. Read more

Valentine's Day will be here before we know it, and I thought it'd be fun to do something heart-y and cheap to dress up my front door! Yes, I'm obsessed, and I love to change my door for the holidays.
*A wire hanger
(any wire will do really! You just want something heavier than floral wire)
*2 yards of tulle.
*white ribbon
(it might spring up at first but it will calm down after some moving around.)
Voila! Don't you think it's so cute?? I just love how it turned out!
Check out some of the other wreath projects that we've done. My lima bean wreath is one of my favorite projects of all time.
Do you have special plans for Valentine's Day? I need ideas.

Hand ShakesTrick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
There are ten people in a house. Everybody wants to make a hand shake with only people shorter than themselves. Assume everybody is different in height. How many hand shakes are made?
AnswerZero, because a taller person wants to shake hands with a shorter person. But the shorter person doesn't want to shake hands with him.
What Next?

Through the Grapevine: Looking ahead the Texas wine industry in 2013
Updated 5:19 pm, Thursday, January 10, 2013
The Texas wine industry is growing at a rapid pace, and if all goes well, 2013 could be a banner year.
Bobby Cox, president of the Texas Wine and Grape Growers Association, took a little time last week to talk about what's ahead.
"The No. 1 thing is there are a lot of new acres," he said, and the Texas industry is changing very rapidly as far as the types of grapes being planted.
"In other words, more of these Mediterranean varieties that are more adapted — vermentino, trebiano, albariño, obviously viognier, roussanne, in the whites," he says, adding that in the reds, there's a lot of excitement about mourvèdre growing in interesting sites, as well as blending grapes of tempranillo and carignan.
A lot of those grapes will be harvested for the first time from full-bearing, mature vines that were planted two to three years ago. That includes grapes from grower Vijay Reddy who owns Reddy Vineyards in Brownfield, which will have nearly 100 more acres at harvest.
There are also new vineyards under planting that haven't yet produced fruit.

"New growers were at the cusp of getting real interest from some of the larger, more established farmers. They are seeing players in big agriculture that are happy with their grapes. And they're going, 'Man, if they're doing it, why am I not doing it?'" Cox said. "So you have all of these synergies taking off together.
"Success breeds success. And that's kind of where we are right now."
The temperature has been ideal this winter with lows deep in the 20s every night, which keeps the vines securely in dormancy until spring.
"The bad spot is there's no winter moisture," Cox said.
Because of that, and what Cox describes as a very unfortunate year in 2011 due to the drought, the big commercial growers have refined their irrigation practices and are watering grapes in the winter.
"We're doing that. Painful lesson, but we learned," he said.
Another hardship has been funding for research that was slashed from the state budget last session.
"Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service was extremely important, still is, but it took a horrible hit when we lost (funding). Terribly short-sighted," Cox said.
The research is instrumental in important areas such as vineyard development and different soil types, especially in this critical time of expansion and experimentation with new varietals and vineyard practices around the state.
The Texas Wine and Grape Growers Association will "have to focus our legislative efforts on an industry that reflects reality on the ground.
"We have an industry that's growing, because of the new varieties, the different wineries, that will favor a dynamic industry when things change," Cox said.
That topic will be the first order of business, starting with a Texas Wine and Grape Industry Legislative Action Day, on Jan. 22 at the Capitol.
Maybe the legislators just need more wine to help loosen the purse strings.

Mexican singer and composer Juan Gabriel will break in the new baseball stadium in Juárez with a free concert in two weeks, Chihuahua authorities confirmed this week.
The stadium, located at the corner of Reforma and Sanders avenues in central Juárez, will be dedicated Nov. 19.
"I'm very satisfied seeing this project," Gov. César Duarte Jáquez said. "The stadium is giving a new home to sports fans in Juárez and it is giving a new face to Juárez."
Duarte said the new stadium will be the most modern in Mexico and it will be a safe place for families.
In addition, he said, it will be an attraction for tourists and baseball fans from El Paso.
The governor said the Juan Gabriel concert will begin at 7 p.m. At the concert, the famous composer is scheduled to release a new song related to Juárez, Duarte said.
"We want this stadium to be a symbol of the new times of Juárez," Duarte said. "We want it to symbolize the social cohesion of this great border."
The first baseball game at the stadium will be Nov. 20 and pit the Indios de Juárez against state champions Los Mineros de Parral.
The stadium, which has not been named, will have a capacity of 12,000 and cost $15 million to build, according to authorities.

GRITTERS will continue to work around the clock in Worcestershire with snow expected to continue through the evening.
Worcestershire County Council's gritting teams will continue to work on routes throughout the afternoon and evening with snow expected to fall until the early hours of tomorrow morning.
Crews have been treating designated routes with salt since 2pm yesterday afternoon. They've been ploughing since the early hours of this morning.
The MET Office forecasts the heavier snow the county's experienced since around 8am this morning will ease from around 4pm. However there's still a prediction for 8cm of snow to fall on higher ground (2 - 5cm on low lying ground) between then and midnight.
Temperatures will dip as low as -3 tonight. Saturday and Sunday is expected to be drier, with the odd snow flurry but gauges will remain sub-zero.
Motorists making journeys are being urged to drive with caution – even on treated roads – with conditions expected to be very difficult.
All 1,233 county council grit bins in Worcestershire have been re-filled since the new-year and people are encouraged to make use of them by using salt on the highways. To help residents pinpoint their nearest bin an interactive map is available at www.worcestershire.gov.uk/gritting, which allows users to search by postcode.
The dedicated section of the website also includes a map showing the designated routes, which are served by the 31 gritting vehicles, answers to FAQs, road safety advice and local radio station frequencies.
By close of play tomorrow over the previous seven days the crews would have covered the equivalent distance of travelling from County Hall, Worcester, to the North Pole and back.
Jon Fraser, County Council Highways Customer and Community Manager, said: "The gritting crews haven't really stopped now for 24 hours. As one shift ends, another one starts. We are doing everything we can to treat and clear roads whilst we are in the grips of this bout of heavy snow.
"It looks like the snow is going to be here until around midnight tonight. The teams will be out and about continuing their work until at least the early hours. Forecasts suggest things will get drier over the weekend but not warmer, so we'll certianly be busy over the next few days.
"We'd urge anyone making journeys to please take care. Grit can only do so much, especially during extreme weather currently being experienced. Even when a road seems clear it's not safe to assume you can travel at normal speeds."
The latest information on disruption to public transport and services, will be available on the County Council's website www.worcestershire.gov.uk
The County Council's Twitter account, www.twitter.com/worcscc, is also on 'Gritter Twitter' mode for a fourth year to keep people up to date with what the teams are doing when freezing weather bites.

Vivianna Watch, steel With Diamonds Open Bangle
Most anything coming out of Georg Jensen is spectacular...a watch designed by Vivianna Torun, she says: I wanted to make a watch which reminded one that life is here and now, so I created a watch with a mirror face, no numbers and a simple second hand. a watch should not make us prisoners of time - but liberate us, perhaps it is possible to make a timepiece which more intensely perceives the here and now." "the watch is open ended to symbolize that time should not bind us and the dial like the mirror reminds us that life is now" water resistant , battery operated quartz movement...considered a classic of modern design...love


text: When you've been writing for a food blog as long as we have, you'll definitely have your fair share of delicious food. But then some of us (cough, me, cough) will have forgotten to exercise and balance it out along the way with healthier food options. So recently, I decided I had to start taking a more holistic approach to wellness in order to improve my well-being. But the part that worried me the most was substituting the decadent (Boeuf Bourguignon) with the practical (kale salads and steamed salmon) and still being able to enjoy my meal. The question became – can food be good for you and delicious? The answer I'm happy to share is yes! Recently, the team here at Eat. Drink. Repeat. partnered with the Food Should Taste Good® brand to explore this concept further, and we couldn't wait to get started.

Deputy superintendent Rosalyn West Smith introduced the program. "We want you to be part of a conversation, one that will explain the 'what,' the 'why,' the 'how,' and the 'who.' We've got architectural designs and we'll facilitate the discussion about the purpose for restructuring," said Smith.

Many Rotator Cuff Tears can be treated nonsurgically. Anti-inflammatory medication, steroid injections, and physical therapy may all be of benefit. However, if you're active and use your arm for overhead work or sports, then surgery is most often recommended because tears will not heal without surgery.
Treatment for Bursitis begins with nonsurgical treatments such as rest, alternating activities, and physical therapy to improve shoulder strength. Anti-inflammatory medications may also be prescribed. As with most injuries, if nonsurgical options don't work, surgery may be the only way to fully correct the problem.
Treatment for Tendinitis can include a combination of rest, splints, and heat and/or cold applications. Depending on the severity of your Tendinitis, treatments such as physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, or even surgery may be needed.

Part II -The cost of equity
Read Part I: Thoughts on Peter Sands
Now, let me turn to Peter Sands' second and most important point. He condemns the notion that the cost of equity has fallen or might fall, as a result of lower leverage.
The idea that the correct target for banks is the risk-unadjusted return on equity is as close to a religion as one can find in banking. It is always buttressed by the view, also advanced by Mr Sands, that these returns on equity somehow do not depend on risk.
Yet that is utterly at odds with everything bankers do in their daily lives.
Suppose that Mr Sands' subordinates suggest that his bank lends $100m to a certain company. He would surely want to know how indebted the company was and where the bank's lending would be in the order of seniority. If his colleagues responded by telling him that none of this mattered, Mr Sands would surely sack them. The riskiness of lending to a company depends, in part, on the level, cost and structure of its debt.
Now consider the position of an investor in common equity. Such an investor is, by definition, junior to all other claimants. Equity investors must be interested, therefore, in how leveraged the company is: higher leverage does, other things being equal, raise their expected returns and the expected volatility of returns. This is finance 101.
Every banker knows it. Read more

True Wisdom Described In The Qur'an
Examples of Thoughtlessness In Everyday Life
As we saw in the earlier sections, one who cannot use his wisdom is at a great loss both in this world and the next. However, it would not be right to assess this loss only in terms of spirituality. a person also faces various hardships, discomfort, and losses caused by thoughtlessness in his daily life.
So, in this section we will explain the seriousness of this danger by providing examples of the kind of thoughtlessness that dogs the unintelligent person throughout his life.
Imprudence of a Thoughtless Person
In newspapers and television, we witness many occurrences that come about as a result of a lack of caution. and there is no end to these happenings. and many people make similar mistakes themselves, even though they read about them in the newspapers. We regularly come across a number of people who are go to sleep holding a cigarette and burn their homes down, whose children fall from balconies, whose fingers get caught in factory machinery, and so on and so forth. Without a doubt such examples of thoughtlessness are daily events experienced in societies that have strayed from religion. These people cannot make accurate predictions on how an event will develop after a few phases. Similarly, they cannot draw wise conclusions from their past experiences which they may be able to use in the future. Because they cannot appreciate the value of the means they have to hand, they cannot take sound precautions to prevent possible dangers.
Let us list some of the accidents and dangerous incidents that come about as a result of the imprudence of one who doesn't use his mind:
A thoughtless person tries to figure out how to use new equipment by experimenting with it, instead of using the manual or learning from someone who is acquainted with it. He doesn't see anything wrong in the rough handling of fragile parts or fiddling with buttons he doesn't know the use for on electronic items, such as a stereo set, or on a delicate device such as a computer. For this reason, he usually breaks brand new equipment without ever using it.
He doesn't see any harm in giving a child small pieces of plastic, which he can swallow, to play with. He begins to think of the inappropriateness of this behaviour when the child starts choking and needs to be taken to the hospital.
A thoughtless person tries to carry furniture made up of two or three pieces in one go and generally drops them all, half way. He cannot calculate that these need to be carried one by one.
A thoughtless person cannot imagine the damaging effect the sun will have on the human body. He harms his skin by staying out in the sun for longer than necessary, and sometimes even for hours on end. Because of the sun, his skin begins to swell up and deep wounds appear on his skin. He becomes nauseated and has a headache. Although he experiences these troubles every summer, he repeats the same mistake the next summer because he doesn't draw on his wisdom.
Moreover, he doesn't see any harm in playing with stray cats or dogs, which may be diseased for all he knows. In fact, most cases of diseases, such as rabies are the result of such imprudence.
Such a person is not sensitive to sudden smells or noises. He doesn't realize the significance of such things, even if he does realize it, he doesn't pay attention to them, either because of his unconcerned nature or because he cannot think of the dangers that may ensue. However, his house could burn down or he could be poisoned, because he cannot sense danger in the smell of gas or he may be faced with a fire because he doesn't respond to the smell of burning in time.
He injures himself by careless behaviour, such as plugging a wet plug into an outlet. He often suffers electric shocks because he changes the light bulb or does electronic repairs without shutting down the power.
He chops food very hastily with a very sharp knife. Because he doesn't calculate the possible injury, he cuts his finger.
Because he empties the dishwater with wet hands, the plates slip from his hand. and because he attempts to pick up the broken pieces with his hands he cuts himself.
He doesn't hesitate to open the door to a stranger and even invite him in. As a result, he is assaulted or his house is burgled.
By placing a hot pan on a glass table, he may cause it to crack. Or by placing a teapot on a wooden table he damages the surface.
When he is going on a road trip, he doesn't think to take preventative measures in case his car breaks down. Even if he does think of doing so, his arrangements are barely adequate. If he fills up the fuel tank, he forgets to take a spare tyre or check the water or the oil in the car.
He leaves everything to the last minute. For example, even when he has to catch his plane, he doesn't pack his luggage or run his errands till the last minute. Let's say his house is an hour away from the airport; he doesn't leave until there are only twenty minutes left. Even if he leaves on time, because he hasn't planned how to get there, he cannot find a cab or, even if he finds a cab, because he hasn't foreseen a traffic jam, he loses time and misses his flight. He experiences such mishaps all the time, but he still doesn't give up his indifference or think of wise precautions.
When he is carrying things, he doesn't think to remove anything that he could step on or bump into. He realizes his mistake only when he stumbles across obstacles or when he bumps into something while he is carrying something heavy.
He doesn't see the danger in placing an object on the edge of a coffee table, or other such piece of furniture from which it can fall and break with the slightest impact.
A Thoughtless Person's Understanding of Art and Aesthetics
Generally, people have a standard understanding of art and aesthetics. They apply the things they have learned from an early age throughout their lives. They apply whatever is thought to be fashionable at the time. But they don't apply their wisdom and try to produce something new. Their taste in art is completely based on imitation. Such people as are lacking in wisdom cannot come up with anything unique that they thought of themselves, even if they achieve a certain technical success with the things they imitate.
They especially use classical models in decorating their environment. We could make a list of the details of decorative styles people generally use.
As a thoughtless person doesn't use his time wisely, it takes him months to redecorate his house. Even the painting and cleaning of a small house goes on for months on end. He cannot evolve ways of doing tasks practically and efficiently.
One who doesn't apply his wisdom doesn't have any special interest in art or decoration; he can live without making any changes in his house for years. When he does eventually decide to make some changes, the first thing he thinks of is to change the fabric of the couches. He has no conception of moving the furniture around or in any other way making his surroundings more pleasant.
Even if he has a lot of opportunities, he cannot use them wisely. Even if he buys the most expensive, highest quality furniture, he cannot position it with any attempt at artistry.
Even if he succeeds in decorating his living space pleasantly, he fails to make it a relaxed, comfortable, and a healthy place to live in at the same time.
He cannot use his intelligence in the placing of his furniture. He places breakable, glass vases at points where people can easily bump into them. Similarly, he doesn't see any harm in using sharp and pointed objects as decorative pieces, and he places them where people can easily come into contact with them and hurt themselves.
He cannot get rid of anything, even though he has too many things. He tries to use old and new items at the same time. With every new item he purchases, he crowds his house and his house becomes even gloomier. He cannot realize the confusion that is created and is himself not disturbed by living in a gloomy place.
The things we listed thus far are only a few examples of how lack of wisdom reflects on daily life. But obviously, it is not possible to limit the hardship and damage thoughtlessness causes to people. One, who shuts his mind, will experience similar difficulties and hardship continuously till the end of his life. The only way to eliminate them, as has been explained from the beginning of the book, is to submit oneself to the clear mind with which religion rewards us. Thereby, wisdom, with the ease it brings, will rule a person's existence so that he may live a life of peace and beauty.
