How to Make a Cheap Hookah
A hookah is a traditional water pipe that uses indirect heat and hoses to consume smoke. These hookahs can easily burn a hole through your pocket money-wise, so what happens when you'd like a cheap, easily homemade water pipe? Well, this hookah can be made cheaply and is rather easy to build.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Get a 2 liter (0.5 US gal) bottle.
2Go to a hardware store for a hose. Though the length doesn't matter, 3 feet (0.9 m) is usually a good length.
3Buy a metal spring doorstop. It may be a good idea to take the 2 liter (0.5 US gal) bottle to the store to make sure that the doorstop will not fall through the top of the bottle.
4Start chewing some gum. "Chiclets" work well, but use whatever you have around.
5Cut about 6 inches (15.2 cm) off the end of the hose and insert that piece on the end of the doorstop. Make this very snug.
6Cut a hole in the bottle's side, about 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) from the top. Insert the remainder of the hose in this hole. Don't insert it anymore than a half an inch in the bottle.
7Now use that chewing gum and seal the hose and hole in the bottle airtight.
8Set up the bowl and down-stem. Insert a small 1" x 1" piece of tinfoil (shiny side down) in the top of the doorstop. Take a toothpick and poke a few holes in the tin foil. This will be your bowl (where herb or tobacco is located). Take a paper clip and unwind it, then wind it back around the top of the doorstop. This will be your handle for the doorstop downstem (this way, fingers will not be burned).
9Set the doorstop with the smaller piece of hose in the top of the bottle. This is the downstem.
10Fill the bottle with water so the downstem is in the water, but the long hose will not.
11Load the bowl with your favorite smoking tobacco or herb.
12While lighting the herb with your matches or lighter, draw air through the longer hose and the chamber should fill with smoke. Hold the paper clip and raise the doorstop slightly so fresh air can fill the chamber and set the doorstop back in the top of the bottle.
13Have nice smoke!
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- A traditional hookah would use lit coals to indirectly heat the tobacco, creating a vapor that is meant to be inhaled rather than smoke that can contain harsh chemicals and tar. If you would like to do this, simply after loading your tobacco or herb, cover the bowl with foil on top. With a toothpick, poke many holes into the aluminum foil on top of the bowl. This will be your screen. After lighting the coal, place it on this screen. Inhale through the long hose as usual, and you should be inhaling vapor!
- When using this coal technique, do not release the carb. Simply pass it to the next person, or just keep on inhaling.
- Do not exhale or blow through the hose. This will result in water traveling up through the downstem and getting the smoking material wet.
Things You'll Need

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael King wants the world to share his love for boxing, and the television mogul is putting on a show to make it happen.
The executive who brought "Wheel of Fortune" and "The Oprah Winfrey Show" to national audiences has spent the last few years trying to develop amateur fighters into champions.
After mixed success, he's moving aggressively into professional promotion with a Hollywood flair.
King is staging his first event at a converted airplane hangar in Santa Monica on Wednesday night, with actor Kevin Pollak hosting a show mixing comedy with five fights.
His fighters aren't famous in the U.S., but King is confident fans will be enthralled by well-matched bouts between fighters who will mature before their eyes.
King says he is dedicated to patiently changing the sport.

Project Runway Recap: Letting Your Avant-Garde Down
October 04, 2012 08:38 PM by Shayla Perry
It's down to the Top 5 designers on Lifetime's Project Runway, and with only one challenge left before New York's Fashion Week, it's time to bring it! So who made it into the final four and who was sent packing in tonight's avant-garde challenge?
Tonight on Project Runway….
Having only won one challenge, Melissa Fleis is fully aware of the fact that she needs to up her game if she's going to make it to Fashion Week, and she has one more chance to prove herself.
For their final challenge, Tim Gunn lets the designers know that they'll be creating avant-garde looks using a new line of L'Oreal makeup as their inspiration.
This time, they'll have $400 in their budgets and 2 days to complete their designs.
After sketching and shopping, the designers head to Parsons to start working, which is when Sonjia Williams realizes that she left one of her most important pieces of fabric at Mood! Make that 5 yards of fabric!
If ever there was a time to make it work!
By the second day, Fabio Costa and the other designers are feeling the pressure; pressure that Christopher Palu seems to be struggling under. Is his look even avant-garde?!
Dmitry Sholokhov is having the same issue, as Melissa races to finish her design at the last second.
Tim Gunn may not have approved of Christopher and Dmitry's looks but what did the judges think?
Surprisingly, it's Melissa's design that captivates the judges the most.
Despite his worries, Fabio is still in and will be going to Fashion Week, but this challenge marks the end of the road for Sonjia.
Tell us RTVM: What did you think of tonight's elimination? Did the right designer get sent home? Which of the final four are you rooting for?

I'm not sure what you mean when you say that Melissa most captivated the judges. It was Dmitry who won the challenge, not Melissa. I liked both of their looks personally.

early blight
one of my goals today is to excommunicate the younger chickens from the garden. if i have anything to say about it, they have eaten their last vine fresh tomato.
beans beans beans, we have too many beans. our bean arches are in an overproduction mode and require picking every two days.
i'm also gonna try to do a garden panorama today.
captured information about tomatoes:
plant tomatoes further apart. thoroughfares must be planted five feet on center.
cattle panel trellis on either side of double rows. mount cattle panels on tall t-posts eighteen inches above ground.
plant intentionally leggy starts in trenches.
have tarp/tents ready to defend tomatoes from spring hailstorms.
use corn meal around plant bases.
ladybugs and lacewing order queued for aphid onslaught.

I'm sorry to hear that about the tomatoes. Mine are still making flowers along with lots of green fruit. Maybe it will bounce back later in the season.
I'm regretting not placing an order for ladybugs to fight the aphids on our 40 ft tall apple tree.I have yet to find an organic spray to work on it. Funny really, our home was infested with ladybugs when we bought it and I always see them out there- just not working where I want them to.
- Walter Jeffries said...
Eek! You already have tomatoes. We're still a ways from that.
Over on my Sugar Mountain Farm blog you mentioned about your soon to be unveiled glass wall. You're way ahead of me. So far I've only collected empties and experimented with removing labels. I ordered a cutter this week. We tried cutting with the diamond skillsaw blade, messy!
I look forward to seeing how your glass wall came out and what tips and techniques you discovered!
- Woody said...
that's a great use of panels again Karl,, you need to go to work at the feed store. you would triple their sales of stock panels. Our bean production was cut in half by the damn deer. I ordered heavy duty deer net that I'm putting up today. Sorry to hear about the blight troubles.

Slump block is a concrete masonry unit with a rounded, rustic finish that is made to resemble mud adobe. I talked with a slump block manufacturer about your question and they referred me to Prosoco Inc.
Prosoco's products have been used to clean some very high-profile buildings, including the U.S. Capitol and the London Stock Exchange. When I posed your question to one of Prosoco's customer service representatives, he asked if this was going to be used by a homeowner.
If that's the case, the strongest thing they could suggest would be a general-purpose, non-etching acidic cleaner followed by a penetrating, breathable water repellent. Prosoco's two products for this would be their Light Duty Concrete Cleaner and Siloxane WB Concentrate, both sold under the Sure Klean brand name.
The latter is solvent-free and made to be diluted with water; you can spray it on or brush it on. The former, even though it is called light duty, is a formulation of hard-working chemicals, so be sure to read the instructions and follow them carefully. For example, you'll have to cover windows and doors with polyethylene to protect them from the cleaner. Other non-masonry surfaces should be protected as well.
If the slump block requires more heavy-duty cleaning, contact a concrete and masonry restoration professional, who should have access to heavy-duty solutions for chemical cleaning, as well as expertise in using them.
Prosoco products are sold primarily to professionals through masonry supply houses. More information is available at www.prosoco.com.

Friday marked the nationwide kickoff of the U.S. Marines' annual Toys for Tots campaign, to provide Christmas toys for underprivileged children.
Marines volunteer at stores around Meridian, accepting new toys that will be distributed later to children who otherwise might not get a Christmas gift.
Marines from NAS Meridian do this every year. They say it's a great chance to participate personally in making children happy.
"There's a lot of needy children, and sometimes we don't take the time to think about them," said Marine Sgt. Antonio D. Ferguson. "And what better time to do it than Christmas? There's a lot of needy kids."
Toys for Tots drop-off locations are both Wal-Mart Supercenters in Meridian, Big Lots, Sam's Club, both Family Dollar stores, and Geoffrey. The campaign continues until Dec. 16.

Interview: A flat white and a biscotti with William Asprey from William & Son
We're delighted to see the stunning collection of handbags, jewellery and watches by William & Son at ACHICA this week. Founder William Asprey, who's a seventh generation member of the Asprey family, set up his luxury goods store in Mayfair's Mount Street in 1999. Featuring the 'special and the surprising, the eclectic and sometimes the extravagant', the William & Son range is created by British craftspeople wherever possible. ACHICA Living got chatting to William over a coffee or two to find out more about his beautiful brand…
What was it like growing up in a well-known family and how did your father's business influence your career path, if at all? Having a renowned name can be difficult because people make assumptions about you without actually knowing you. With regard to my father's influence, I was more influenced by the knowledge of my family history and heritage than by just my father. I also believe that retail is in the blood and I have always enjoyed it. I did however spend four years in the British Army before working with my father as I didn't want to go into the business without having achieved something else.
How do you go about choosing and designing your ranges of handbags, watches and jewellery? The products that we have are designed by selected designers or by our in house team of designers. With the department heads leading the process we discuss the options and give our opinions. I do however have the final say and a right to veto, but the process is very democratic!
What product in your collection is the most popular? We have huge success with our leather goods, but we are also becoming better known for our collection of watch brands, that are unique to us in the UK, and so therefore cannot be found elsewhere.
[Below: William & Son handbag]
What has been the most exciting project you've worked on? Every project that we carry out is exciting as I really enjoy giving the client what they want and seeing the pleasure they get from receiving items that they have developed with us.
Who or what inspires you daily? I am inspired by tales of other people's successes, in all fields, and this pushes me to try and be as successful as they are. I am also inspired by nature and beautiful things that I encounter every day and try and find ways of incorporating them into our products.
What designers do you admire? Designers in my world are not your usual fashion designers! The designers I admire, and in my world, are people like Fred Rich, who makes the most beautiful enameled objet, F P Journe for his creativity in his watch making, Anna Torfs for her beautiful glassware, and David Linley for his wonderful furniture. And there are many more I could add as well!
[Below: Fred Rich vase]
What three products do you covet? These can be anything. A Bentley car, as my Grandfather had one that I still remember and I think they are beautiful! A racehorse to be as successful as Frankel, and anyone who knows horses will understand why! An F P Journe "Repetition Souveraine", which is an ultra light minute repeater.

ON SALE 26th MAY
Doctor Who Magazine may be 500 issues old this month and we know the perfect way to celebrate… with a copy of Doctor Who Adventures! Don't let DWM's little sister feel left out, get your copy today!
The future is fighting the past! The Doctor, Romana and K9 are trapped in a temporal war on the planet Aoris, and with both sides now capable of time travel the conflict is entering its deadly final stages. With each minute another bit of history locks into place, leaving less and less room for the Doctor to manoeuvre. Can even he save the same planet twice at the same time?
He's back – and it's about Ten.
At long, long last Big Finish has been allowed to enter the hallowed realm of post-2005 (don't call it Nu) Who… properly. Oh, they've dabbled before. And yes, the classic Doctors meeting new-era monsters was fun; yes, River Song was able to turn a shapely audio ankle or two; and yes, Churchill was (just) the right side of weird.
But now? Now we have the real deal! We got us a Doctor!!!
There are a couple of small spoilery nuggetettes in the review below, so careful now.
David Tennant and Catherine Tate reprise their roles as the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble respectively in a three story box-set placed somewhere before Silence in the Library (inasmuch as there's any way of telling). (more…)
It's fair to say that Torchwood Cardiff has had a bit of a rough time from a human resources point of view, and right from the first televised episode staff numbers have been dwindling. By 2016 it's gotten to a point where the company creche and bring your child to work day are the same thing, and Gwen is really gasping for someone to make a half-decent cup of coffee at the very least. So now, finally… come on down,
PC Sergeant Andy Davidson, it's time to shine!
It all started like such a normal day for Andy Davidson, with a nice cuppa and trying to plan how to introduce himself to a girl without seeming stalky. But then Norton Falgate quite literally appears from nowhere, and the pressure is on as Andy is to be assessed for Torchwood. There will be danger, goo, aliens, singing and analysis of the Welsh mind – but will there be breaks for tea and the loo?
For years, I've been hoping for Nightshade to be adapted into a two-parter to bring what was probably my favourite of the New Adventures novels to a new audience. It may not have come to TV, but BF have brought Mark Gatiss' first novel into a range of adaptations that has been fantastic so far – can they continue the pattern and do it justice?
Nightshade takes us to the little village of Crook Marsham in 1968, where undercurrents of lost dreams and past glories are joined by a sullen Seventh Doctor lost in thoughts of hanging up his umbrella. But the undercurrents don't stop with the people – something is shifting out of sight, and is retired actor Edmund Trevithick really imagining those monsters from his old show?
От Скаро с любовью, я пересматриваю для вас…
April may be known for showers, but there's a definite chill in the air as Big Finish's second series of Torchwood heads to Russia for second episode Zone 10. Having deciphered a 40-year old encoded message, Toshiko Sato meets with Russian agency KVI to find out what secrets hide in the eponymous area. The truth may be out there – but is Tosh ready for what it may involve? Who else could have a stake in keeping Zone 10 under wraps – and how far will they go to make sure it stays hidden?
Music practice isn't often stopped by something as unlikely as a near miss with a Time Tank in the temporal vortex – but that's not nearly as unlikely as what the Doctor and Romana find on Aoris: a world at time war with itself. When the future attacks the past, surely it can't end well for either side? But the future time zone is desperate enough to fight for its own future, even if that means destroying it's past – a past which may be more primitive, but is absolutely as dangerous in this war where history itself is the combat zone. Can anyone win when winning means destroying your future or your past? If anyone can help them, surely a Time Lord and Lady can…
Let me start by saying 'Argh another two parter! I wasn't expecting that, even if it does end on a deliciously torturous cliff hanger…'
The twenty-first century is where everything changes – but Jack's getting ready really really early…
Lawks a lordy, Torchwood is back for a second series with Big Finish, and as the end of the nineteenth century nears Jack's over at Torchwood London for a royal inspection. Unfortunately Torchwood is also due for a visit by an interstellar-ly initiated case of Murphy's Law, and one that doesn't stand on ceremony. One thing's for sure – those are some serious mutton chops…
It's always a happy day when a new Eighth Doctor download lands on the digital doormat, and Doom Coalition 2, his latest outing, does nothing to change that – except, perhaps, leave a question hanging on the aether…
The set opens with Nick Briggs's Beachhead in which an attempt for a break at the seaside ends up with the fall-out from a mistake made by the Doctor in a previous life, and an altercation with a couple of miffed Voord. But why are the aliens there at all?
If the star of the first Big Finish War Doctor box set, Only the Monstrous, is the War (don't call me) Doctor, then the star of their second, Infernal Devices, is probably the Time War itself. And while that centre stage has been a long time coming – for, which of us hasn't yearned for the true stories of the likes of the Nightmare Child and the Neverweres? – let me tell you, it's been worth the wait.
The first box set had a job to do in creating an introduction to the War Doctor for those who didn't know him, and generating greater depth to him for those of us who did. And that job the boxset, and specifically the non-Doctor's portrayer, John Hurt, did very well. But it left a gap: what exactly was this thing, this Time War, that had caused that man to stray so far from the morals of those who shared his body if not his name? What induced the Machiavellia, and all the self-loathing? It can't just be any old war; it must be something special. (more…)

text: ''Future Wars'' is an AdventureGame by Creator/{{Delphine Software|International}} that focuses on TimeTravel. It was one of the first adventure games on the PC to use 256-color VGA graphics, released over a year before ''VideoGame/KingsQuestVAbsenceMakesTheHeartGoYonder''.The nameless protagonist stumbles upon a time machine and happens to foil an alien plot in the middle ages; as a reward, he is taken to the dystopic future (under attack from those same aliens) and asked to help defeat them in the stone age.----!!Includes the following tropes:* AlmightyJanitor* BadFuture: It's pretty much in ruins because of the aliens.* CorruptChurch: The monastery is [[spoiler:one of the aliens' secret bases.]] Just entering it unprepared kills you.* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Too many to list. More than half of the screens have something lethal.* GoneSwimmingClothesStolen: You have to do this to a skinnydipper in Medieval times in order to acquire suitable clothes.* LostForever: A classic adventure gaming trope, it is quite easy to leave several areas while forgetting to obtain an item that becomes crucial later.* PhlebotinumBreakdown: The time machine doesn't work too well, causing you to end up in the wrong spot at least twice.* PixelHunt: Early in the beginning, you have to put a one-pixel flag into a one-pixel hole to proceed.* SuddenGameplayChange: The endgame consists of two back-to-back action sequences.* TheFuture: One of the eras you travel to.* YouALLLookFamiliar: Many [=NPCs=] share sprites with ''you''. Except for the coveralls you wear for window washing, every outfit in the game is copied by at least one NPC.** This is most obvious early in the game, when you take the Medieval outfit and look EXACTLY like the NPC who was just wearing it when you put it on.----

IS this typical HX20V video quality?
Okay, so I went to a Sony Store last night at around 20:00hrs and shot some videos on the HX20V at stock settings except changing the video quality into 1080/60p. Well, the thing is the blacks appear greyish and the colour saturation is quite off and video is very dull to look at. The store lightening was pretty good and I felt the sensor could easily handle it but the colours were not at all vivid. So is this typical HX20V video quality? These are few screens from the video.

I rescued her as a baby from the trash can where she had been dumped like garbage, and I adopted her and took her into my home and cared for her and provided her needs over the years till she became a young woman and beautiful, and then I couldn't help but fall in love with her. Seeing it was her time of love I spread the corner of my garment over her to cover her nakedness. - Did you say "covered her nakedness?" Didn't you mean to say "uncovered her nakedness" since it was her time of love? - No, because I had made no vow to her yet though I wanted to, I had not yet entered into covenant with her. Because we had no covenant together, she had not become mine nor I hers, so what right did I have then to uncover her nakedness?* I knew though that the moment would come in due time. I fully expected it to come in decency and due order. One day we would swear ourselves to one another. I also knew toward what end that would lead, but I won't speak of that here or now. - But, why not speak of it? - Just as our Creator delights in taking raw (and I do mean raw) material from the scrapheap of life for the next new creation, thus to make the resulting beauty even more wondrous, so simultaneously and conversely does the enemy of our souls take pride in deceiving us into choosing something fake and ugly over the more true and beautiful, as if to boast and say, "I not only persuaded you to betray your true love, but I used inferior material and a lower budget doing it! Behold, what an artful deceiver am I!!"
* The long, white glorious train of her gown trails behind the bride as she makes her way in slow , measured, deliberate steps down the aisle of the sanctuary. She is awed with the witnesses by what is about to happen and by the One in whose presence she will stand, and by the commitment she is soon to make to the groom. She had better take her time for she is entering into something permanent, irrevocable. But why does she hurry so after the ceremony, her train now lifted by the matron of honor (who understands having been there) as she practically jogs back up the aisle. Now they move swiftly and eagerly to consummate their vows at last and begin their new life together. Not a moment is to be wasted, lest the world they leave behind catch up to them.

Seattle aerial troupe the Cabiri power up their dance prowess as they get ready for "The Ghost Game: Winternacht," their annual Halloween show, Oct. 21-23 and 28-31, 2011.
Danny Boulet, standing tall, wants April McMorris to land on his chest — to take a running start at him and land feet first on his chest.
Preferably somewhere up around his shoulders.
"It's more than possible," he says cheerily.
When McMorris seems doubtful, he calls on tiny dynamo Lauren Kettner to try it. Sure enough, on her second or third try, Kettner flies at him in a tight tuck and lands with her toes pretty much perched on his collar bone.
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Seattle-based seafood company shuts down
- UW receiver Isaiah Renfro opens up about depression, announces he's leaving team
- What's the top spelling 'mistake' in Washington state? The answer could make you sick
- So the NRA sends a questionnaire to a Seattle state senator ...
Most Read Stories
Boulet, a sturdy guy, scarcely registers her impact. From tucked position, Kettner unfolds into the vertical, rising high into the air, then sliding down the length of his body, getting some whisker burn en route, until she's back on terra firma.
Boulet is a newcomer to the Cabiri, an aerial troupe founded in 1999 that re-creates ancient myths onstage. The troupe, led by John Murphy (artistic director) and his wife, Charly McCreary (managing director), is entering a new phase in its career. It's now composed entirely of performers dedicated to making their living year-round from dancing and/or teaching.
"We've phased out our hobbyists," McCreary said. It has also added some floor-bound dance to its aerial mix. But as Boulet and Kettner demonstrate, "floor-bound" doesn't necessarily mean gravity-bound.
In September, I dropped by the School of Acrobatics and New Circus Arts in Georgetown to observe the Cabiri in early rehearsal for "The Ghost Game: Winternacht," their Halloween show, opening at the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center on Oct. 21.
SANCA is in a big warehouse space, and its windows and doors were open to the warmth of our late-onset summer. From its ceiling, rings and ropes and chains hung, with performers scrambling up and down them with ease.
The aim of aerial performance, of course, is to make the human body look as if it weighs nothing at all. Watching members of the Cabiri when they're first working out their routines makes clear just how difficult that is. It also reveals some magic moments.
Susan Bienczycka, for instance, is trying to mimic a smooth spiral groove on the rings that McCreary has just demonstrated. At first she seems unlikely to carry it off. But a few minutes later, she's looking as fluid and as confident as McCreary.
Bienczycka is, McCreary explains, "new to aerial, but an amazing dancer." And like most of the performers in the Cabiri's new lineup, she comes from a dance background rather than gymnastics or acrobatics.
With her husband, photographer Gabriel Bienczycki, she ran the Seven Dance Company in Philadelphia. And while there, she did have one experience that had curious parallels with aerial work: performing underwater.
When you're on the ground, she explains, you have a solid surface (or a partner) you can push against. In aerial or aquatic work, while you do get some resistance from the water or the fabric/ring/rope you're working with, it's not as much as you would get from something more solid. "It moves," she notes, "so your flexibility changes, because you've only got what your body can do, what you can do with your strength."
Bienczycka had withdrawn from her dance career, teaching Pilates instead, until she took a silks class with some friends and got hooked. She would never have auditioned for a dance troupe, she says, but the Cabiri's airborne antics are something different.
"It's kind of like being in a playground instead of being all serious. It's definitely a totally different body challenge. … A little bit more athletic, and not quite as esoteric."
With professionally trained dancers now on board, artistic director Murphy has ceded some of his choreographic duties to his performers. Boulet and McMorris, for instance, are devising their own choreography in a fight scene, with Boulet giving McMorris "dude lessons" because, he says, she's "the lead male" in their tussle.
Oddly, McMorris does have gymnastics background — but it's Boulet, trained in ballet and a variety of other dance styles, who has the greater confidence.
"Dance does wonders," he says, especially when it's a "healthy mix" of styles. He and his brother, Sylvain Boulet, first came to my notice when they were apprentices with Spectrum Dance Theater. They've also appeared on the local burlesque circuit.
Kettner, now in her second season with the Cabiri, has no gymnastics background either. But she did once spend six months as a cheerleader, she notes wryly.
Kirra Steinbrueck, new to the troupe this summer, was a student with Pacific Northwest Ballet and appeared as the child Clara in PNB's "Nutcracker" seven years ago. Within a year of seeing her first aerial performance, she was taking classes with McCreary. And she proved such a natural that she joined the troupe one month later.
McCreary's own teachers have included former Seattleite Robert Davidson, as well as Cirque du Soleil veterans Sam Alvarez (who still coaches the Cabiri) and Elsie and Serenity Smith (now of the New England Center for Circus Arts).
Whatever their background, the performers of the Cabiri use their talents to bring myths from around the world to life. This year's show includes a tale about a Japanese snow witch and one concerning Boreas, the north wind in Greek mythology. Eleven performers — dancers, aerialists, contortionists — act out seven stories altogether.
The shaggy-haired Murphy says about the show: "As much as I guide, I'm guided by the myths." Sometimes, he adds, he even feels a little possessed by them.
While most performers create or contribute to their own choreography, Murphy keeps tabs on everything and puts his stamp on it. Only half-joking, he describes himself as "a benevolent dictator running a socialist-anarchist collective."
Rehearsals are usually videotaped because, as Bienczycka explains, it's hard to keep track of yourself in a mirror when you're twirling around in the air. It can be tough to watch yourself on video, McCreary adds, as you try to master a sequence of aerial moves. But monitoring your progress is an essential part of the process. Videos are posted on Dropbox for all the members of the troupe to watch. They then offer one another tips on what works and what needs more practice.
A mid-September preview of routines from the upcoming show — done without costumes, props or stage lighting — brought home just how impressive these athletes-in-dance are. Boulet and Kettner were almost scary as they charged through a conflict in which Boulet tossed Kettner in the air as if she were so much flotsam. McCreary and Biencyzcka achieved a dreamy symmetry on the rings, while Murphy and Kettner slipped through intricate spinning knots in midair.
While every performer I talked to mentioned the fun of "acrobalancing" and doing aerial work, the tone of "Winternacht" will skew decidedly toward the sinister.
"You'll see what happens," McCreary tells me. "Bad things, of course. It's Halloween."

Mayflower 1620: A New Look at a Pilgrim Voyage
by Peter Arenstam, Catherine O'Neill Grace (Author)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is a great book that talks about the Mayflower. This book gives great detail and true facts about the Mayflower.
The book tells the difficult journey of those traveling to the New World on the Mayflower with beautiful photographs and historical details. There are many interesting footnotes on the pages to help students understand what life was like in the 1620s. Personal documents from the voyage are shared as well as documents from the first colonists. Although there are few references to the affect English colonization had on the Wampanoag, in all fairness, this is the story of the colonists coming to Plimouth. The use of historical reenactment to tell the story of the colonists makes the story appealing to students. They can actually "see" what the colonists and sailors. This book would make a great addition to an elementary school classroom. At the back of the book there is a short Bibliography and list of events in chronological order. I was surprised the book did not include additional links for teachers.
Mayflower, 1620, Pilgrims, Puritans, Wampanoag, Native Americans, American Indians, Massachusetts Plymouth Colony, Plymouth Rock, Thanksgiving
This book has a table of contents and an idex in the back of the book. Additional information for the teacher is also included in the back of the book. It's an informative resource that takes a new look at the voyage of the Mayflower.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 079226276X, Paperback)Plimoth Plantation and the National Geographic Society come together to tell the true story behind the legendary voyage of the Mayflower. A meticulously researched work, Mayflower 1620 offers children a compelling, fresh account of this much-told story.
Vibrant photography of a rare reenactment using the Mayflower II leads readers imaginatively into the narrative. The vivid and informative text explores the story behind the exhibits at the living-history museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Primary sources record what the voyagers wore, what they ate, and telling details of their journey. First-person accounts reveal the hopes and dreams they carried. Readers share in the long hours at sea, and in the dangers faced after landfall. Extensive end notes, a map, a detailed chronology, and a bibliography round out the full story of the Mayflower.
Readers experience a new look at this seminal historical event through the eyes of those who now regularly inhabit the world of the pilgrims—the actors who interpret the Pilgrim Voyage. This eye-opening book teaches children the value of closely reexamining everything we think we know.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:23:46 -0400)
Contains a photographed reenactment of the voyage and landing of the Mayflower with text covering the perspectives of both the Native Americans and the English.

A friend of ours today was telling my parents and me about a solar setup he will be getting next year for his house. He wants us to sign up and use his name as a reference, as you get a reward for people you refer. I was wondering if anybody here knows anything about this. I can't remember the name of the company, but it might have been Citizenre corporation.
Basically here is how it supposedly works (according to our friend):
You sign a contract with this company that binds you for 25 years.
The company retains ownership of the solar panels. They install the panels, service the panels or other hardware associated with it. They own the panels, so you don't pay anything for the panels or installation or other hardware involved. After they are installed, the only thing you will have paid would be a 500 dollar security deposit.
You pay for the electricity that the panels generate. They use the rate that your electric company is currently charging you, 13 cents per KwH for us in NH. That rate is then fixed for the entire contract period.
Each panel has a circuit which logs the amount of energy generated, and relays this information back to the company (located in Delaware) via your phone line. The company then bills you accordingly.
So you aren't really saving money, but your monthly bill isn't increasing either, unless you use more energy of course. You just pay this company instead of your electric company.
At night, when you're not generating, you draw from the grid. So you're not 100% independent. You can install a battery setup though, but I think this is at your own expense. All energy that your panels generate can be fed back into the grid, if you don't use it. If your state does net metering, your power company will buy that electricity back from you (which NH does).
It sounds like this is a fantastic way to get people into solar. THe big obstacle that solar has, is that most people can't afford the initial investment. Seems like this eliminates that.
I was wondering what people here thought. Is this something that sounds like it's worth pursuing?

Sophomore Eric Vianney and the Tulane basketball team returns home to host Alabama State this Friday at 7 p.m.
Dec. 27, 2007
Tulane Game Notes vs. Alabama State
NEW ORLEANS - The Tulane Green Wave basketball team will look to put together its third three-game win streak of the season when it hosts the Alabama State Hornets this Friday at 7 p.m. in the final game of 2007 for both squads at Fogelman Arena.
TU (8-4) is coming off back-to-back wins over Southeastern Conference member Georgia, 70-69, and St. John's out of the Big East, 79-71, and needs a win over the Hornets to match its best win streak of the season. Tulane has won five out of its last six games and the TU defense has held its opponents to 65.6 points per outing, while the Green Wave offense has averaged 74.2 points over the same duration.
Tulane is 5-1 at home this season with wins over Auburn (77-62), Nicholls State (73-51) Huston-Tillotson (75-43), Gardner-Webb (84-79) and Indiana State (80-68). TU's lone home loss this season was to New Orleans (74-67). The Green Wave owns a 15-2 (.882) record against non-conference teams at Fogelman Arena under head coach Dave Dickerson.
For the year Tulane is averaging 69.9 points and 36 rebounds per game and is shooting 46 percent from the field, 33.7 percent from behind the three-point line and 74.2 percent from the free-throw line.
Sophomore Kevin Sims leads three Green Wave players in double figure scoring with 13.1 points per game, while senior David Gomez is second with 11.8 points per contest and junior Robinson Louisme is third with 11.3 points per outing. Louisme is also the team's top rebounder with 6.1 boards per game, while Sims leads the squad in assists and steals with 4.2 and 2.1 per contest, respectively.
Alabama State (4-4) has been very competitive this season and has already defeated one Conference USA member in 2007-08- SMU in Dallas (64-54). The Hornets then narrowly missed out of an upset on the road at Auburn, falling 63-60, and dropped a nine-point, 83-74 decision on the road at current No. 19/19 ranked Miami (Fla.).
ASU is 1-1 against C-USA schools with its win over SMU and an 82-68 loss at Southern Miss. Following the Tulane game, the Hornets close out their non-conference slate on the road at UAB on Jan. 2.
Alabama State is averaging 71.5 points and 40.5 rebounds per game and is shooting 44.2 percent from the field, including 33.8 percent from free-throw line.
Andrew Hayles leads three Hornets in double figure scoring with 13.5 points. Brandon Gordon is second with 12 points per contest, while Chief Kickingstallionsims is third with 10 points per outing. Gordon is also the team's top rebounder with 6.0 boards per clip.
Saturday's game marks the third all-time meeting between Tulane and Alabama State, and the Green Wave leads the series, 2-0. The Wave captured the inaugural meeting between the two teams at Fogelman Arena on Dec. 1, 1959, 99-70. Saturday's game will mark the first contest between the two teams in New Orleans in 48 years.
The teams last met in a neutral court exactly three years ago at the State Farm Sun Bowl Classic in El Paso, Texas. Tulane prevailed in that game, 71-59.
Up next: Tulane makes a short trip to its home-away-from-home, the New Orleans Arena, on Wednesday, Jan. 2, 2008, to face in-state rival LSU at 8 p.m. on College Sports Television (CSTV).

A weekend trip to tour, eat and shop at the Queen Creek Olive Mill, the state's only extra-virgin olive oil producer, is a decent drive even for southeast Valley residents.
For those who live in Phoenix and Scottsdale, it's like planning a day trip.
So owner Perry Rea decided to open a boutique at Kierland Commons to help northeast Valley residents satisfy their craving for gourmet oils, tapenades, olives, Arizona wines and local food and beauty products.
The shop, called Oils and Olives by the Queen Creek Olive Mill, opened in May but will host a grand-opening celebration over the Labor Day weekend.
"Summer has been quiet, we've been getting used to things," said manager Sydney Rea, the eldest of Rea's five children. "But people love us out here, and we're anticipating a good holiday season."
Rea, 23, has been helping out at the olive mill in Queen Creek since she was young. But her plan wasn't to open a food boutique. She graduated with a degree in marketing from Arizona State University and went to London for a graduate course in fashion marketing. When her father called to offer her a chance to manage the store, she came back to the Valley.
"I decided to pursue food instead of fashion," she said.
The 1,500-square-foot store is on the main level of Kierland Commons between Bobby's Restaurant and Jazz Lounge and Sur La Table.
Along the perimeter of the store is the tasting area, where shoppers can sample the mill's signature extra-virgin olive oils, vinegars and tapenades before buying them.
Look for flavors such as Tuscan Estate, chili, bacon, vanilla bean and chocolate.
Additional packaged food products include oregano and feta stuffed olives, caramelized red onion and fig tapenade and blackberry Merlot jam. Visitors can also pick up the mill's baked goods, including cupcakes and brownies.
"You can find our oils in some grocery stores and other places, but not the selection we sell at the olive mill or here," Rea said. "We have all of our branded products and other local products."
The shop sells about 65 wines, roughly 20 percent of which are Arizona wines. In addition, shoppers can find Tempe-based Laura's Gourmet Granola and Decio Pasta, Christopher Creek Spice Company's spice rubs, and Glendale-based Cerreta's Candy Company chocolate.
Those who purchase an item at the store during the grand-opening weekend will be entered to win a tour and lunch for four at Queen Creek Olive Mill.
Details: Kierland Commons, Greenway Parkway and Scottsdale Road, Phoenix. 480-361-9860, queencreekolivemill.com.
Oils and Olives by the Queen Creek Olive Mill at Kierland Commons is a boutique selling the mill's signature extra virgin olive oils, tapenades and foods.

Bandwidth becoming a learning block at KM
District looking at referendum to pay for high cost of technology
At Kettle Moraine Middle School in one seventh grade house, students spread out with laptops to work on memoirs. Next door, laptops sit poised waiting for students to come in from their outdoor science exploration. Using technology like Google Apps for Education for online collaboration of assignments and mass communication of information available anywhere, anytime, provides efficiency for teachers; however, it comes at a cost.
Bandwidth and wireless access points limit use at KMMS where access points only accommodate 30 people at a time. KMMS Principal Theresa Gennerman has concentrated on installing additional access points in one house at about $1,000 each.
"The infrastructure is holding us back," Gennerman explained. "If we can spend money on access points, we can let kids bring their own devices."
While Gennerman is planning on rolling out BYOD (Bring Your Own Devices) to seventh-graders to increase use of technology and remove barriers of individual access, the district struggles to provide the necessary bandwidth to provide uninterrupted access.
ALEKS and Digits math programs allow personalized, interactive learning but are only available on a limited basis to KMMS students because of limited bandwidth and access points.
"This is how kids are learning," Gennerman pointed out.
However in an older building where the number of electrical outlets further complicate the situation, bandwidth is only one stumbling block to learning without boundaries, but its limiting grasp encompasses the entire district.
On Sept. 18 Director of Facility Services Dale Zabel outlined $14.4 million in urgent facility needs and $4.2 million in needs that can wait three to five years and Director of Technology Services Brandon Kostolni's listed urgent technology needs of about $2.5 million with further needs estimated at $1.9 million. On Oct. 16, the KM School Board looked at timelines for a referendum, aiming for one in 2014 provides time to gather information and inform the public, but pinches urgent technology and facility needs, which then wouldn't begin being addressed until 2015 or 2016.
While School Board members favored having more time to prepare for a referendum, interim solutions for pressing needs could be costly.
"It doesn't change the urgency of technology needs," said Superintendent Pat Deklotz.
Zabel said they could make things run for a while but might be spending more than they want as they continue to patch aging buildings and equipment.
Kostolni said he would have to find a short-term solution to bandwidth, possibly buying bandwidth for the interim, which would be "extremely costly."
"It's not ideal, but we'll have to make something work," said Kostolni. "Once you get into larger increments of bandwidth, the cost goes up dramatically."
School Board President Gary Vose said it would be preferable to take more time to allow the public to digest information about needs and associated costs.
"Success is called getting the referendum to pass," said Vose. "We want to do everything we can."
School board member Dennis Krueger stressed the public should understand they are still in the stage of gathering information on potential costs. Zabel and Kostolni will explore options and costs for interim solutions to technology and facility needs that could carry the district to a 2014 referendum and bring that information back to the board.

Cartoons published in Arab papers depict Israel, US as responsible for anti-Islam movie that sparked riots in Muslim world
Roi Kais
Published: 09.16.12, 01:31 / Israel News
Roi Kais
The violence sparked by a US-made film
that denigrated the Islamic Prophet Muhammad has been making headlines worldwide over the past week, but the Arab media have also chosen to utilize caricatures to lob accusations at the United States and Israel.
One cartoon, published by the Gaza-based Palestine newspaper, claimed the Jewish state was behind the offensive movie. Featuring a man covering a wall in black paint found in a bucket printed with a Magen David on its side, the caricature was accompanied by the caption: "Israel produced the film that offended the prophet."
Related articles:

Ad-Dustour: Lighting a cigar with hatered
Another Jordanian paper, Alghad, chose instead to criticize the Arab world for dealing with the movie instead of the civil war in Syria.
The caricature showed a Muslim riding a horse towards a sign that says "offensive film," while leaving behind another sign reading "Syria – massacre of innocent people."
Alghad: What about Syria?
Another caricature showing a clapboard dripping with blood, captioned with "murder of the American ambassador to Libya," goes as far as to suggest that "Israeli hands" were responsible for the death of US envoy Christopher Stevens. The image was published in the Algerian paper el-Shorouk.
El-Shorouk: Israeli hand behind film
Alwatan: Jews directed film
Yet another image, released by the Saudi paper Alwatan, asserts that while the filmmaker may be American, Jews – depicted by a stereotypical ultra-Orthodox man sitting on top of the director's head – were the ones actually pulling the strings.

In the second inning of Josh Tomlin's masterful one-hitter against the Seattle Mariners on Saturday night, right fielder Ryan Raburn helped the cause with a full-extension, diving catch to rob the hot-hitting Kyle Siegler of extra bases.
The play made MLB.com's "outstandings" lists and is sure to be all over SportsCenter if you are patient enough to wait for Indians-Mariners highlights amidst the weekend's World Cup play.
All in all, the play was very Tomliny. Josh Tomlin approves.

I've been getting started with Nuget. Some of my projects allow me to Add Library Package Reference to a Nuget package, but then when I select "Installed Packages" I don't see any packages listed. Why not?
EDIT - I know the answer (see below), was going to answer this myself as a "community service" but can't for another 8hrs due to my lame rep score.
Answer will be: The project already had a packages.config file in the same directory as the csproj file, BUT the packages.config file was not added to the project. Fixed by "Add existing item" and selecting the packages.config file.
Note: in hindsight, the pink '"packages.config" already exists, Skipping' message in the nuget progress window should have alerted me to this.
Hope this helps someone.

Should we keep our cats?
I have 2 cats (with all claws) and my boyfriend also has 2 cats (front paws declawed). I am about 17 weeks pregnant and we are planning to move in together. He wants to get rid of all the cats, but I want to keep them all. I know that the cats may not get along with each other, which could cause many territorial issues, and there is not much time available to train them. His main worry is that the cats might scratch or otherwise harm the baby. It would have been nice to live with him for some time before pregnancy, so we would know how our cats interact with each other, but it's too late for that. We agree it isn't fair for him to get rid of his, or for me to get rid of mine, because we both care for our cats very much. However, I am more willing than he is to attempt mutual cohabitation to see what happens and deal with any potential issues as they may arise. He would like to avoid the situation entirely by adopting the cats away now. How can we reconcile this problem?

Your SO is concerned about the health and saftey of your future LO. That's a great thing; however, it seems as though he may be jumping the gun a bit. Cats are generally less aggressive with children than dogs. If they don't want to play, they scamper off (especially when a child is chasing them.) -- Is his concern that your intact cats will scratch his? If so, try to introduce the cats veeeerrrrry slowly, (a good way to do it would be to put his cats in a closed room so that your cats can smell them and see them under the doorway.) I believe they make caps for cats claws as well. -- My best advice would be to research, research, research! and compromise with DH. Tell him that if the cats aren't friends after 6 weeks, you'll rehome them. GL!posted 06/18/2010 by atb913
Id have to say try it out & see. His worries are understandable. We only had 1 cat when I was pregnant with my DD. My DH was worried about the same things. I ended up buying one of those baby tent things that goes in the crib. It soothed his worries & we knew that the cat wasn't getting in there & possibly harming her. Im a huge animal advocate, I dont agree with getting rid of them right away with no proof that anything wrong will happen. Try it out, it takes time though. You cant expect the cats to get accustomed to each other right away. But there might not be any problems at all. Why get rid of them if you have no reason to? Get a bed tent, get the cats together, give them a place to hide on their own if they need and everything should work out. Plus both of your cats are used to living with another, so it may not even be a problem since they already live with one. Give them a good chance first! Give them time to adjust.posted 06/22/2010 by kraziekatt
I have had multiple cats ( and yes, even gotten new ones) with my babies... no problems. I would give the cats a few weeks to adjust before you make any decisions. We have 4 cats right now (3 with full claws) and we have no plans to change that.posted 06/17/2010 by Misselle1

MUMBAI: Indian diabetologist V Mohan, who suggested that the popular diabetes drug Pioglitazone be banned by the health ministry, is now in a spot of bother as drug makers have accused the Padmashree awardee of a possible conflict of interest.
In January this year, Mohan had written a letter to the Prime Minister's Office, detailing the risks of bladder cancer caused by the prolonged use of Pioglitazone. The PMO passed the letter to the health ministry asking it to consider the ban. But its abrupt ban angered manufactures of the Rs 700-crore drug, who accused the health ministry of not carrying out proper due diligence before banning it.

Rumor: Face-Mapping Coming To Perfect Dark On Xbox Live
By William Usher 7 years ago comments
I dont think theres a better way to round out the weekend than with rumored news about a classic game. In fact, this is the kind of rumor that gets you all geeked up for the next week because youll be too excited to not think about the news. So what news am I talking about? Well, other than the fact that Microsoft has confirmed that Perfect Dark is coming to Xbox Live Arcade later this year, there is also the possibility that Face-Mapping could be coming with it.
Electronic Theatre first reported on the announcement of Perfect Dark coming to Xbox Live Arcade, but ventured further to speculate on an abandoned feature from the original game: the ability to import ones face using the GameBoy Camera and the N64 GameBoy Transfer Pack.
Now rumor-throwers would instantly try to indicate that this could work in conjunction with Natal, but we already know that Natal wont be available until the holiday season of next year. So, no, you wont be plastering your face all over Perfect Dark for XBLA using Natal. Not this year, anyway.
Electronic Theatres speculation over the inclusion of this feature comes from the screenshots that indicate that a character not on the original Perfect Dark is on display. Now fans of the series know that the original game had tons of unlockable characters and that its possible that mysterious female gunner could be a super-secret character. Alternatively, the article suggests that she could be an added character, specifically for Xbox Live. Then theres the obvious distinction to which this news is labeled as a rumor: Rare could be bringing back the import-your-own-face feature that was scrapped from the original.
Given that the game will be featuring new Xbox Live supported multiplayer, enhanced graphics and framerates and a few other tidbits of changes, its not unlikely that the face-importation feature could be returning, too. Well keep you posted on any new developments regarding this intriguing rumor, but until then be sure to stay tuned in with Blend Games.

One of my kids just got the LG EnV something... don't know if that is relevant or not. I noticed when a phone call came in that the caller ID not only showed the number but also showed the location.
New York, NY
Got me wondering when the heck this happened and is it showing the location associated with the NPA-NXX (212-555) or is it tracking from where the call is originating?
Either way, I loathe it. Anyone else encounter this?

Speaking in tongues about big data
I am like the IRS. I automatically respond to certain red flags. Superlatives are one example. Anytime something is billed as unique, the red flag flies. Same with terms such as "real time", "plug-and-play" and "disruptive." There is another category that goes beyond the superlatives born of well-meaning efforts at marketing a product, and that is hyperbole. Hyperbole takes marketing spin to a whole new level, one that I am uncomfortable with.
Big data gets its fair share of hyperbole. That makes me uncomfortable because I have seen it before with other technologies and don't believe it's helpful. It's fun, but it doesn't always end well. I used to enjoy Jeff Pulver, one of IP communications (VoIP) greatest showmen as he tweaked the noses of big telecom carriers with his talk of disruption. I still do. But in the end, much of his message turned out to be hyperbolic and in the end deflated like a sad balloon.
Last week in O'Reilly Media's preview for its Strata Conference--which takes place next week in Santa Clara--Alistair Croll, entrepreneur, author, and host of the Strata events, admitted to his use of hyperbole in speaking about big data. Well, he admitted that some people believe it to be hyperbole when he talks of things such as the business singularity. I am one. I believe it.
However, I don't think in this case that it's all bad. At least it is well-informed hyperbole. And, it technically won't remain hyperbole forever--at least according to people much smarter than me who know what the singularity really is, what it will require to reach it and how we will know when we have or if we've crossed it or been blown away by it. I'm still unclear on all that.
Some of what Croll says sounds like science fiction, but there is a lot of machine learning going on with big data that could escalate exponentially and make you wonder if he isn't just being prescient. I don't think we are anywhere near that level of artificial or machine intelligence, but it sure makes big data fun to think about. And that we are even scratching at that door makes this an exciting space to be in.
When he explains how the reliability and performance of software and its decision-making prowess can outperform in, say, a Human Resources department, it makes you wonder how close we are to relinquishing some control.
"Managing humans might be messy; it's fraught with emotion and governed by employment law, but nobody cares about pitting algorithms against each other. There is nobody is out there unionizing algorithms, so they fight in a battle to the death," Croll said. "Humans retire, but code just gets a faster processor. Yes, that's pretty controversial and troubling, but it is the way many people view software. Analysis and optimization lead to a continuous loop of improvement that gives us this exponential function for business."
Who can say no to that?
Croll says some companies like Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) are already on the other side of the singularity because they have changed how they view their priorities. They don't worry about things like scale anymore. They worry about cycle times, in particular about cycle times for learning.
"To them everything is an experiment, a chance to optimize. They analyze everything and they feed this back into themselves, continuously engineering their improved successor," Croll said. "These businesses on [the other] side of the singularity will seem opaque to us, like they are shifting and transient and unthinkably agile, and to them, traditional businesses will seem sluggish and predictable and unwise."
That's a little spooky, but it gets a bit easier to see where the hyperbole starts and ends, and that this may not be a bad way to view how one's business needs to change.
Croll admits that "maybe it isn't as tectonic a shift as the rise of sentient machines or the middle of a black hole, but it certainly is more than just the evolution of business. It is the migration from a physical world to a digital one. We are moving from a business ecosystem where those with scale win, to one where those who have better cycles of adaptation and learning win."
Okay, I'll buy that. - Tim
