What is Flaxseed? What is benifit?
Flax is a plant that is grown for both its seed and its fiber. The fiber is used to weave linen. The seed is used in food products such as breads and cereals, and for making flaxseed oil. The fat in flaxseed is unsaturated and heart healthy. It contains alpha-linolenic acid, which is a type of fatty acid that must be obtained for the body from the diet, and is also associated with heart health. You will often hear it referred to as an omega-3 fatty acid. Flaxseed itself (ground or whole) also contains lignans, which may have antioxidant actions and may help protect against certain cancers, though this is far from certain. Flaxseed and flaxseed oil should be consumed as part of foods, not in supplement form.

Slavery By Another Name Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book of the same name by Douglas A. Blackmon, this film explores the post-Emancipation era and the labor practices and laws that effectively create a new form of slavery in the South, which persists well into the 20th century.

September 20 2009. The Wellington Phoenix battled North Queensland Fury at Westpac Stadium during the 7th round of the Hyundai A-League football championship. The expert strike by midfielder Bertos in the game's sixth-minute was the first of a long series of precision attacks raising the stress level in the visiting team. However, the Phoenix' efforts were frustrated in the 94th minute by a goal from Fury substitute Chris Grossman.

CBS Cancels Partners
CBS has axed Partners, the latest comedy from Will & Grace creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan that focused on the working partnership of one gay man and one heterosexual.
The comedy that starred Michael Urie and David Krumholtz has averaged a 2.4/6 in adults 18-49 and a mere 6.5 million viewers. It routinely ties for third in its time slot in the demo but comes in fourth in viewers.
Though those numbers are comparably low to some of CBS' other comedies, Partners is certainly one of the highest-rated new show to be axed this season. (NBC's Animal Practice was averaging a pitiful 1.5 rating while the CBS drama Made in Jersey went out only earning a 1.1 rating). Partners' ratings are even better than Ben & Kate, which, despite averaging around a 1.8 rating this season, has received a back six order from Fox.

Thanks, didn't know about the preseeding method. Also, there seems to be a kickstart, at least for ubuntu. Has anyone compared FAI to kickstart (for ubuntu/debian)? Thanks, /jon

Everyone waits in line at Franklin Barbecue: Austinites making their weekly pilgrimages, daytrippers traveling along the Texas barbecue trail, even Anthony Bourdain. It's an inglorious task, a tortuous crawl in which you're taunted by the scent of smoldering oak and the sight of those lucky few already sucking the meat from a set of pork spare ribs. Those at the front of the line likely arrived no later than 8 A.M.–a full three hours before Franklin opens its doors.
But there's community in the chaos. Blankets are unfurled, lawn chairs are unfolded and stories are shared. The camaraderie of the line is overwhelming, a testament to the pacifying power of Franklin's otherworldly barbecue.
Brisket is what you want here. At the counter, Aaron Franklin (or perhaps his barbecue partner John Louis) will offer slices of either lean or fatty brisket. There's no wrong choice, but you've waited too long not to indulge in those glorious fatty cuts. This is brisket at the point of sublimation, beef so perfectly and thoroughly smoked that it barely exists in solid form. Franklin's pork spare ribs may also be some of the best you've ever tasted, thick slabs of meat that peel from the bone with unimaginable ease.
Still, rigid traditionalists might point you away from Franklin, maybe to Louie Mueller in Taylor, TX or some combination of Smitty's Market and Kreuz Market in Lockhart, TX. Smitty's has the history–a charming old building so blackened by barbecue that you can practically scrape the smoke off the walls–but Franklin has the goods. The sausage at Smitty's is indeed excellent, yet nothing there truly approaches the ethereal barbecue at Franklin, a place that shatters even the most outsized expectations of Texas barbecue.
Franklin Barbecue, 900 E. 11th St., Austin, TX, (512) 653-1187, franklinbarbecue.com
Smitty's Market, 208 South Commerce, Lockhart, TX, (512) 398-9344, smittysmarket.com.

To North Park, to North Park to Look at the Trains
I have to be honest. After spending a day with the kids in the car on Sunday to see my grandmother two hours away, I wasn't looking forward to a ride down to North Park and a trek through the last minute shoppers with two small children. Alas, I woke up this morning to Audrey (in the other room) excitedly asking Reid if he was looking forward to seeing the trains, Santa and Scrooge. Though we didn't get to see the trains nor Santa, we did get to hang out with some great friends, play in the fountain, watch some ducks swim around in their indoor pool and listen to Scrooge single out Reid amongst the many to give him a hard time.
At the beginning...everyone's in a good mood. Yay :) What you can't see behind me is Luna de Noche. On our way out I grabbed some chips and salsa to go. Green salsa. So tasty.
Isn't he a cutie?
See Scrooge in the house?
See Reid standing there (in the orange & white striped shirt)? Scrooge called him out and had him stand up. He asked Reid all kinds of questions and gave him a hard time about everything. Audrey stood up to help Reid and Scrooge asked, "is that your wife??" Pretty funny even if Reid didn't quite get it. After all the heckling, Scrooge gave Reid an autographed picture of himself. It's sitting on Matt's desk.

1st Quarter: There are a lot of teams that could win Class 3A Substate 5. The IAHSAA came out with its substate groupings in both 3A and 4A on Monday, get DALMANE, and two things stand out: 1) There are conceivably four or five teams that could win the 3A bracket, DALMANE pics, and 2) Burlington got no favors in 4A Substate 6. With Solon now in the picture in the 3A substate, there is no true favorite, ordering DALMANE online. Solon, Buy DALMANE online cod, Mount Pleasant, Keokuk and Fort Madison could all get hot and win it; it's not the runaway of last year, when Solon wasn't in the substate and Mount Pleasant coasted, order DALMANE online overnight delivery no prescription. The Panthers are not as good as last year, Keokuk and Fort Madison and playing pretty good ball right now and Solon is always traditionally tough, DALMANE FOR SALE. A bloodbath will ensue. Order DALMANE online c.o.d, Burlington got tossed into a grouping with both Iowa City High and Iowa City West, Cedar Rapids Jefferson and Cedar Rapids Jefferson, and Ottumwa, DALMANE schedule. I don't have much hope for the struggling Grayhounds in this group. DALMANE no rx,
2nd Quarter: I've covered high schools for 14 years, and never seen anything like what happened last Friday. DALMANE FOR SALE, Danville jumped out to a 61-0 halftime lead on Central Lee in an 85-21 victory. It was turnover after turnover, DALMANE canada, mexico, india, layup after layup. DALMANE price, The Hawks were down two starters, but still. Just incredible, DALMANE pharmacy. Just to prove that wasn't a fluke, Low dose DALMANE, on Saturday the Bears went five hours to Wisconsin to hammer the No. 1 team (Randolph) in the small-school class in that state by 25 points in the Iowa-Wisconsin Border Battle, DALMANE FOR SALE. Simply, the Bears will be tough to beat, DALMANE duration.
3rd Quarter: With our job, Cheap DALMANE no rx, sometimes it's tough to find time to write feature stories on athletes. Then, you sit down with someone like Winfield-Mount Union's Alicia Escher and it makes it worth it. Escher, who I wrote about last Friday, has recovered from two knee surgeries to finish an up-and-down athletic career on a strong note. DALMANE FOR SALE, She's a great interview with a good story to tell. It was a pleasure to do that story.
4th Quarter: It's still about 2 1/2 weeks out, but the top tier of games in the SEI Superconference Shootout for both the girls and boys is starting to take shape. The girls will play the championship at the South Division team on Feb. 1, and right now, No. 10 (3A) Mediapolis and No, DALMANE FOR SALE. 2 (1A) Notre Dame would meet in that game. Winfield-Mount Union has all but locked up second place in the North Division and would go to Central Lee in a rematch of last year's game; it's unlikely the Lady Wolves can catch Mediapolis, but Tuesday's game at Mediapolis is big. If Mediapolis wins, it's over. However, Notre Dame, Central Lee and Van Buren play each other one more time, starting Friday. DALMANE FOR SALE, The Nikes seem like the favorite now, and will all but lock up the top spot in the South Division if they beat Central Lee Friday, a huge game for both teams.
On the boys side, the games will be at the North Division Feb. 8, and Danville and Lone Tree appear set to meet for the championship in a rematch from last year, and it should be a dandy with both teams ranked in the top three in the state. Notre Dame is looking at a game at Iowa Mennonite School, which is never an easy game.
Where I'll be this week: Tuesday (Van Buren at Danville G/B); Friday (Davenport West at Burlington girls).

Ok, for some reason my monthly pledge has been deleted? My pledge was taken out on the first, so I have no idea how my auto-drafted ended on the same day!
Just Pledged! happy i could help, looking forward to future content and hope that we reach the top milestone!
Can you add to the list also イチから知りたいベルセルク and イチから知りたいベルセルク ?
Just pledged! I'm getting a lot out of the forum, the podcasts, and the translations, so I wanted to give a little bit back. I know all of it takes time and work and as a Berserk fan who's enjoying all the content, I appreciate it!
Hey all! New to the forums but been reading Berserk for a few years now. Excited to finally break in and cut my "horn" Just committed to a monthly pledge to support such a great cause!
Yo! I meant to do this a while back, but I finally got around to donating today! Though I only registered last year (I lurk, a lot), I've been using this forum for years, so it was time to give back.
Just wanted to say thank you for all of your hard work, everyone! To show my thanks, I decided to became a Patreon supporter. I've only been here for about a year now, and I may not post much. but I really like this website.
You administrators do an awesome job and I love the community here. Decided to start my pledge todayHappy to help out

I think I have hemroids can you tell me what to do and what kind of dr i should see
You think you have hemorrhoids, but you don't know for sure? What I can tell you is that hemorrhoids are abnormally swollen veins in your rectum and asshole. They're like varicose veins you might see on a person's legs only they're in your butt. You gots your inside kind and you gots your outside kind. (See the lovely illustration on the right.)
When bulging hemorrhoidal veins are irritated, they cause surrounding membranes to swell, burn and itch. Sound familiar? This can become pretty painful, and they can bleed too. Hemorrhoids are caused by too much pressure in your bum, forcing blood to stretch and bulge the walls of the veins, sometimes rupturing them.
Frequent causes include:
- Too much sitting
- Straining with bowel movements (constipation or diarrhea)
- Severe coughing
- Birthin' babies (This may not apply to you, don't 'cha know!)
- Heavy Lifting
What you can do to help:
- Be sure your hole is clean after each dump. Use a premoistened towelette, like baby wipes or Tucks for a thorough clean-up.
- Avoid rubbing and scratching.
- Make sure the soap you use is scent and dye free.
- Apply ice to reduce swelling, followed by a warm compress.
- Take a sitz bath. Fill your bathtub with just enough warm water to cover your ass, add Epsom salts. Soak your sorry tush for about 15 minutes a couple times a day.
There are plenty of over-the-counter hemorrhoid ointments, creams, and suppositories too.
Any physician, including a general practitioner, would be able to diagnosis a case of hemorrhoids.

I had a PA piercing some 15 years ago. I went up to 02 gauge five years back. since, my dick has been shinking. is it age? or is it cuz of the weight of the jewlery? (muscles pulling to counter the weitght)
Your dick will sure enough shrink as you age. But darling, you're just 41! How much is your willie shrinking, anyhow? Is it that noticeable? Because if it is that would really be odd. If anything, the large gauge ring you have in your PA should stretch your dick, not shrink it. No, I don't think your muscles are contracting to counter the weight.

Ever try "Edging"? This is a stop/start technique guaranteed to prolong the time it takes you to reach your climax. Grab your dick and begin to wank like usual. When you get near to cumming — stop. After the urge to shoot subsides begin to slowly stroke again. Stop when you once again approach climax. Repeat this whole 'stop and start' cycle for as many times as you would like. When ya finally shoot you'll have a stronger orgasm and you'll spew more spunk.
Another cool method is the "Squat 'N Jerk". Squat on the floor, and stretch your knees as far apart as possible. Lean against a wall if necessary. Feel the stretch in your feet, calves, thighs, taint and asshole. Tighten your abs and begin your yank session. Try to keep your rod perpendicular to the floor as you stroke. Because of the tension in your feet, legs and butt, when you shoot you're sure to get more of a bang for your buck.
A variation on this technique is to squat on a dildo or a butt plug. ENJOY!

My boyfriend and I got into a fight last night and he punched me in the face. He lost his job about a month ago and since then he has been using drugs, mostly pot but some speed too. When he gets depressed he gets angry and I have to stay out of his way. I'm worried about him but he won't get help. He says he's sorry about last night but it's different when he is high. What can I do to help?
You could start by taking a long hard look at your own enabling behaviors, pup. I can tell, even from this great distance, that you are a doormat. Remember, behind every abuser is an enabler. Behind every drunk and druggie is an enabler. The fact that you are more concerned about your abusive BF than your own safety tells me there is more to your unhealthy relationship than what you reveal here.
Many victims of abuse, and you are an abuse victim, Trev, believe the abuse is their fault. Regardless of how twisted your relationship may be, there is never sufficient cause for someone to punch his partner anywhere on his body, least of his face. Your BF has at least three major issues to deal with: a) his depression, b) his anger/violence and c) his drug abuse. As you suggest, these are related. You are neither well positioned nor well enough informed to assist him with either. In fact, as I say above, you are part of the problem.
You, on the other hand, have issues of your own that he can't help you with, because he is part of your problem. Abusers often promise to change their behavior, and those empty promises often keep the victim from identifying the pattern of abuse in the relationship. Sound familar?
Anyone in a relationship that doesn't have the emotional wherewithal to leave an abusive relationship needs help ASAP. Here's a resource for you: The Gay Men's Domestic Violence Project

|Drezzzzing for the occasion since 1996
Never understood the hate the movie gets. It wasn't perfect by any means but it was quite enjoyable. And I'd say that the 2005 series owes a lot to the movie..it always looked to me like they borrowed a lot from it (even the time rotor for 9's console). Heck the new intro for the 11th Doctor looks a lot like the beginning of the movie (right down to coming out of the vortex into space). 8's TARDIS really WAS bigger on the inside...almost too big. For much of the new series all we got to see was the same room.
As you say, McGann really steals the show. I was pretty angry when they didn't pick up the series post 1996 with McGann...having listened to so many of his Big Finish stories he really is a fantastic Doctor. We really got robbed not having him on the small screen doing more TV episodes. But far too many "fans" have, for decades, slammed the movie as "garbage" and "not worth watching." Bollocks.
It's really too bad that the new series hasn't brought the 8th Doctor back for one final episode. Would have made a great "Doctor Lite" episode...having 10 or 11 reminiscing about the past, being a "different man back then" and then flashing back to an 8th Doctor adventure.

State officials say six cities have been chosen to participate in the Tennessee Downtowns program.
Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bill Hagerty says the communities of Arlington, Carthage, Ducktown, Etowah, Jamestown and Shelbyville have been selected for the program.
Tennessee Downtowns is a community improvement program for cities and counties seeking to turn traditional commercial districts into places where people want to shop, live and have fun. The six selected communities are home to downtown commercial districts established at least 50 years ago.
The communities will form a volunteer committee of citizens who will participate in a two-year training curriculum supported by the National Main Street Center. The curriculum is designed to teach citizens about comprehensive, sustainable downtown revitalization and historic preservation.

Unemployment fell in 20 states last month and nearly three-quarters of the states added jobs, as the nation at large posted a fourth straight month of solid hiring.
Unemployment rates rose in 16 states and were unchanged in 14 states, the Labor Department said Friday. Meanwhile, hiring rose in 36 states and declined in 14.
The biggest drops in unemployment rates occurred in Illinois, where the rate fell to 7.5 percent from 7.9 percent, and Massachusetts, where it fell to 5.6 percent from 6 percent. Georgia reported the largest increase, to 7.2 percent from 6.9 percent.
Nationwide, employers added 217,000 jobs in May, the fourth straight month of gains above 200,000. That's the first such stretch since 1999. The unemployment rate remained at 6.3 percent, matching a five-year low.
Some of the unemployment rate declines occurred because many of those out of work gave up on their job hunts. The government doesn't count people as unemployed unless they are actively looking for work.
There is another reason that so many states added jobs but far fewer saw a decline in their unemployment rates. The unemployment rate and job figures sometimes diverge because they come from two separate surveys. The job gains are derived from a survey of businesses, the unemployment rate from a survey of households.
Unemployment in Arkansas has dropped for the eighth consecutive month, falling two-tenths of a percentage point to 6.4 in May.
The Department of Workforce Services on Friday said the state unemployment rate was down more than a full percentage point from May a year ago.
The national unemployment rate was unchanged at 6.3 percent in May.
In May 2013, both the national and Arkansas jobless rates were 7.5 percent. The state has added 13,500 non-farm jobs since then.
Starbucks is raising prices on some of its drinks by 5 cents to 20 cents starting next week, and customers can also soon expect to pay $1 more for the packaged coffee it sells in supermarkets.
The Seattle-based chain also raised prices on some of the drinks sold in its cafes a year ago. The latest hikes don't seem to be driven purely by the surging bean costs that have pressured other coffee sellers to raise prices, however, since Starbucks has said it already locked in its coffee contracts for the rest of this fiscal year and much of the next.
In an email Friday, Starbucks spokesman Jim Olson noted that many factors go into pricing decisions, including "competitive dynamics" and the company's "cost structure," which he said includes costs for a variety of ingredients, as well as materials, labor and occupancy costs.
Starbucks Corp. said the price increases in its cafes will kick in Tuesday, June 24, and vary depending on the region.
The $1 price boost on packaged coffees sold in supermarkets and other retail outlets will kick in July 21. The company said the packaged coffee sold in its cafes won't be affected.
Apple is likely to launch a computerized wristwatch this fall that includes more than 10 sensors to take health measurements and other data, according to a published report.
The Wall Street Journal also said Friday that Apple Inc. is planning multiple screen sizes for the device, which some people have dubbed the iWatch.
Samsung, Sony, Qualcomm and others have already released smartwatches, but the gadgets have mostly functioned as companions to smartphones, offering email notifications, clock functions and the like. Samsung's Gear 2 line, released this year, added fitness-related apps and has a heart rate sensor.
There's been longstanding speculation that Apple has been working on a smartwatch. The main question has been when it would come out.
Citing unnamed people familiar with the matter, the Journal said production of the smartwatch is expected to begin in two or three months at Quanta Computer Inc., a Taiwanese company that has worked on Apple's Mac computers.
Sales of the device could begin as early as October.
Apple declined comment in line with its policy of not discussing future products.

The federal court in Raleigh enters 2013 still in a state of judicial emergency, as this article by Patrick Gannon of the Wilmington StarNews reminds us.
That court now has the dubious distinction of having the oldest U.S. District Court judicial vacancy in the country. The seat, opened up on Dec. 31, 2005 when Judge Malcolm J. Howard took senior status, has been unfilled for more than 2500 days.
At one point over these last seven years, it looked like we might have some movement towards a nominee:
Nearly four years ago, in July 2009, U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., recommended three candidates for the seat in a letter to the president. According to a news release issued at the time, they were: Allen Cobb Jr., senior resident Superior Court judge for Hanover and Pender counties; Jennifer May-Parker, assistant U.S. attorney for the Eastern District handling criminal appellate cases; and Quentin Sumner, senior resident Superior Court judge in Nash County.
David Ward, a spokesman for U.S. Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., said the Republican senator also submitted recommendations to the White House in July 2009 that were "substantially similar" to Hagan's. He declined to give names. Burr still awaits word from the White House on a nomination, Ward said.
But since then, mum's the word.
In the meantime, the caseload of the absent but to-be-named federal judge is being shared by three senior district judges who have put in more than their fair share of time on the bench: Hon. James C. Fox, 84, a Reagan appointee who went on senior status in 2001; Hon. W. Earl Britt, 80, a Carter appointee who went on senior status in 1997; and Hon. Malcolm J. Howard, 73, a Reagan appointee who went on senior status, as noted above, in 2005.
In the weeks to come, we'll be taking a closer look at why that's the case and what can be done before this emergency moves to catastrophe.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- A woman injured in last summer's shooting in front of the Empire State Building is suing the New York Police Department over its response to a gunman who had killed his co-worker just moments earlier.
Chenin Duclos, a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, filed the lawsuit Tuesday in state Supreme Court and is seeking an unspecified amount in damages.
Her attorney said police had "failed to train the officers for this type of situation."
"It's a clear issue of supervisory liability in the form of improper training, improper attention, possibly, improper hiring," said attorney Amy Marion.
Duclos was one of nine people injured by police gunfire and ricocheting bullets after police engaged 58-year-old Jeffrey Johnson, who had been laid off from his job as a designer of women's accessories before gunning down his co-worker.
"We have on tape the perpetrator pulled his gun out and tried to shoot at the cops," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in August. It is not clear if the shooter actually fired at authorities.
Police officers fired a total of 16 rounds; one officer shot nine, while another shot seven, the New York Police Department said. Johnson was killed in the gunfire. Police said all the passers-by who were injured were hit by police bullets.
The violence erupted just as visitors queued up to ascend the famous New York skyscraper in one of Manhattan's busiest neighborhoods.
City officials were not immediately available to comment on Tuesday's lawsuit.

UNESCO Director General addresses the World Engineering Forum
In a video message to the participants of the 2012 World Engineering Forum, organized under the theme "Sustainable Construction for People", UNESCO Director General Irina Bokova stressed how closely this theme resonates with UNESCO's work to harness the power of science for sustainability and the aims of its Engineering Initiative.
'Engineering has many solutions for strengthening the resilience of our societies -- while tackling poverty, nurturing our resources and responding to climate change. This starts with the buildings where we work, the homes we live in' said Ms Bokova.
The building and construction industry accounts for one third of global carbon emissions, and it is estimated that buildings consume 30% to 40% of global energy. The current environmental crisis poses new challenges to the building and construction industry, in areas where engineering can provide innovative alternatives such as energy-neutral housing and energy efficiency, construction materials and practices, recycling and reuse of materials.
Small changes can make a big difference. For instance, UNESCO's Better Buildings Programme encourages schools to collect storm runoff to water gardens, to use solar light and heating, to plant both inside and on rooftops – all of this to improve the sustainability of school buildings and the health of students.
In her message, the Director General also considered social and cultural aspects, saying: 'We all know also the importance of construction for the quality of life, for social cohesion. There are no 'one-size-fits-all' solutions for sustainable construction. Design must reflect a community's history and environment, its cultural heritage and aesthetic aspirations, drawing on traditional practices and adapting them to new needs.
These factors build what we call a 'sense of place,' in harmony with context and people.'
UNESCO specialists will be participating in the Forum, which brings together engineers, politicians, researchers, scientists and entrepreneurs from all over the world from 17 to 21 September 2012 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, to present and exchange their opinions about the sustainable construction of buildings and infrastructure, a major challenge of the 21st century.

Like "Mom and apple pie," "the Saturday night bath" is a catch phrase that comes straight out of America's rural past. Until only recently most of our parents and grandparents — like their ancestors before them — went through the weekly ritual of hauling a battered tin tub down from its peg on the back porch for that "once-a-week whether-you-need-it-or-not" hot water bath.
This event was accompanied by much sloshing of water in galvanized buckets, steaming of kettles and pots on the wood range and oozing of soapsuds all over the kitchen floor, and often Junior wound up with the lukewarm and none-too-clean liquid that was left after all the higher-ups in the family pecking order had done their thing. It's little wonder that America took to the gas- or electric-fired domestic water heater like, well, like ducks to water.
Now, of course, we take that convenience for granted. In fact, today's new homesteader is likely to find that if there's one single thing he really misses about "civilization," it's a hot shower at the end of the day. It might be argued with justice that the American preoccupation with cleanliness is schizophrenic, since — as a people — we seem to be more concerned with clean restrooms than clean air. Even so, when you've been pouring cement, haying or weeding the garden the better part of a July afternoon, it's pure bliss to greet the sunset with a hot bath or shower.
But Reddy Kilowatt, like it or not, is a very messy fellow. The dirt washed down the drain by the bath water from an electric heater probably doesn't equal the amount of dirt spewed into the air in order to produce that heat. And every cubic inch of gas burned in the only other commonly available water heater is one cubic inch of gas the world will never use again. In any case, many homesteaders live so far from both gas and electric lines that their choice boils down to either [1] going the Saturday night bath route or [2] going dirty.
Still — as we've found on our place — there are other solutions. For almost three years we hassled with the tin tub and, while the ritual at first seemed a mildly adventurous experience out of an earlier and less hectic era, it soon became very old stuff indeed. (This was particularly so during the winter, when baths were confined to that portion of the living room floor immediately in front of the Ashley heater.) We soon found ourselves taking advantage of our infrequent trips to town by bathing at the homes of friends, until they began to wonder whether we came to visit them or to steam up their bathrooms. Finally we decided that a rural organic life didn't have to include feeling grubby most of the time, and the fabrication of a bathhouse became our top priority project.
Building the Bathhouse
Construction materials for our new luxury were no problem. We live on the edge of a national forest where, every year, crews with chain saws thin out the smaller trees so that the remaining timber can grow to a marketable size. These thinnings are left where they fall to eventually rot back into the forest floor. They're free for the taking, and, if gathered while still green, make fine log-cabin-type buildings. An axe, a chain saw and a copy of Bradford Angier's book How To Build Your Home In the Woods were all I needed to put up a 10' x 12' bathhouse.
Flagstones for the building's floor were gathered in a nearby quarry, and a friend who was remodeling his old house donated a 1940-vintage bathtub to the cause. All we lacked was the water heater. Since (for all the obvious reasons) gas or electric devices were out of the question, our choice was between a solar collector or a wood-burning unit. Back then, in the summer of 1972, I didn't know enough about the former method to feel very confident of the results, and felt that a wood-burner looked like the most practical solution.
At that point I thought back many years to when I'd lived in Mexico for a short time and my rented house had contained a commercially made wood-burning water heater. Was that unit a rare old relic of Mexico's past, I wondered, or was the same thing still available? I passed on my question to a friend who was making a brief trip south of the border, and, sure enough, within a few weeks he drove up with an honest-to-gosh, wood-fired hot water heater lashed to the top of his VW microbus.
On a subsequent trip to Mexico, I found that such devices are for sale in just about every hardware store for the equivalent of around $20.00. My own model is a Calentador Corona, Modelo L.R. 47 made by Calentadores Corona. We find it an excellent product: Four or five small sticks of wood in its firebox will heat 30 gallons of water to near boiling in fifteen minutes.
At present the water supply for our Corona is a 55-gallon drum mounted on the roof of our root cellar (to which the bathhouse is attached). The stored liquid flows down to the heater through plastic pipe, which is available in most hardware and building supply stores, and ridiculously simple to assemble. When we eventually get our wind pump and tank erected, however, water will be piped directly to the bathhouse, eliminating the need for the overhead tank. (How soon we're corrupted by soft living! Already we find it an odious task to haul water and fill the barrel.)
Not everyone is fortunate enough to live within 400 miles of the Mexican border, of course, so a water heater like ours may be difficult for some homesteaders to procure. Still, that doesn't mean you're doomed to the old tin tub.
The Wood-Burning Water Heater
Many years ago (I'm not certain when they stopped being manufactured) laundry stoves were standard items in American homes, and some of these old-timers are still around. Such a gadget has a water jacket, which surrounds the firebox, and is fitted with a cold-water inlet at the bottom of the casing and a hot-water outlet at the top. It works very simply: As the water is heated inside the jacket, it moves upward by convection through the hot-water outlet to a holding tank. Cold liquid from the bottom of the tank then replaces the warmed contents of the jacket. This process continues until the whole tankful is hot.
We have one of these laundry stoves on our back porch, and use it for heating dishwater. It does take about an hour for the unit to do a thorough job on the contents of our 20-gallon holding tank, though. Obviously, the Mexican water heater is much more efficient and we plan to replace the laundry stove on our next trip south of the border.
Still, the old-time devices do work, and you can usually turn one up in secondhand and antique stores for about $40.00, just remember to look for the two pipes coming out the back of the stove, the detail which distinguishes the laundry heater from other small units of almost identical design. And examine your find carefully before you buy it, because such stoves may have cracks in their jackets (usually caused by leaving them exposed to freezing temperatures with water still inside). The breaks can sometimes be brazed shut (cast iron usually can't be welded) but it's still a risky proposition.
You can also construct your own wood-burning water heater quite easily by recycling a conventional gas-fired unit found in any city dump. As often as not, an old heater is thrown away because the gas burner is broken, not necessarily because the tank is defective. Once you've determined that the container doesn't leak, it's a simple matter to remove the gas-burning apparatus and weld a short extension on the bottom of the tank to provide a firebox. Some models even have enough space at the lower end to make such an addition unnecessary.
The original vent pipe (which runs up through the middle of a gas water heater's tank) serves admirably as a chimney. Add a few lengths of stovepipe at the top to provide a stack, and you have a very serviceable, low-cost, wood-fired water heater of the same type as my Mexican import.
Another homemade wood-burning design that makes use of the same principle as the old laundry stoves can easily be constructed out of a 55-gallon drum. The barrel is used as a firebox and heats the water in a coil of copper tubing which fits inside. The making of such a device is described in a July/August 1973 MOTHER EARTH NEWS oil drum article and on page 26 of a very valuable book entitled Making Do: Basic Things for Simple Living by Arthur M. Hill (Ballantine Books, New York, 1972).
The Solar Water Heater
Back in 1972, as I've said, we opted for wood to warm our bath water mostly because I didn't know enough about solar heating to be convinced that it would work well. Now I'm somewhat better informed, enough to assure you that the sun can and does do the job effectively.
Solar water heaters have been in use for a long time in other countries — notably Japan and Israel — and were fairly popular in Florida and California during the 20's and 30's. There are several basic designs, all of them easy to build. What amazes folks who have never seen these gadgets before is that they really do work!
One solar water heater design, invented by Peter van Dresser, makes use of two pieces of corrugated iron roofing. The sections are placed face to face so that each corrugation combines with its opposite to make a "pipe" for the water to flow through. The sides of the unit are welded or brazed together and the "troughs" between the corrugations are joined by rivets, spot welds or bolts at intervals of approximately eight inches. (Great care must be taken to make those fastenings leakproof, a difficulty with this design because water pressure tends to force leaks at the rivet points.)
At the top and bottom of this heat collection unit, pieces of galvanized or aluminum roof-peak flashing, bent to fit, are brazed to provide for the intake and outlet of water. One end of each flashing tube is connected to a pipe, and the other is folded over and brazed watertight. The entire collector is painted black and positioned to face south to absorb the sun's heat . A piece of glass (not plastic) is placed over the device to help retain warmth.
The principle of this solar water heater, and of most others, is that warmed water displaces colder water. First, cold water enters at the bottom from a storage tank placed above the collecting unit. As the sun warms the surface of the metal, heat is transferred to the water inside. The warm liquid moves upward by convection and eventually displaces the colder contents of the reservoir. This process continues until the whole tank of fluid is heated and ready to use.
Another design which works just as well, is less leak-prone and has the added bonus of being freezeproof is used in Steve Baer's solar-heated home in New Mexico. This sun-powered water warmer makes use of copper pipes: two verticals and as many horizontals as desired, depending on how large a collector you're building. A thin copper strip is brazed to the back of each horizontal element to give more heating surface, and the entire unit is painted black for the same reason.
As the above linked diagram shows, this design is unique in that an antifreeze solution (instead of water) circulates through the collector panel. This chemical (the same kind you use in your automobile's radiator) heats and moves upward by convection to enter an insulated jacket surrounding the water tank proper. Heat is then transferred to the water as the antifreeze continues to circulate. Baer's model makes solar-heated water possible even in frigid weather, that is, as long as the sun is shining!
As simple and relatively inexpensive to build as these solar devices are, it's probably cheaper to purchase a ready-made collector panel. On page 98 of the June 1973 issue of Popular Science is an article entitled Black 'Mattress' That Puts Btu's in Your Pool. This feature describes a plastic solar collector designed to heat swimming pools, and mentions that the invention can be used to provide a hot water supply for cabins and vacation homes. The unit, called a Solarator, is available for $18.75 from (are you ready for this?) Fun and Frolic, Madison Heights, Michigan. I recently purchased one of these devices, and, although I haven't yet installed it, it seems to be a quality product that should serve me well for several years.
So you see, with all these possibilities for bringing hot water to your homestead, the old Saturday night bath needn't be a vaguely unpleasant ritual conducted next to the kitchen stove, it can be almost a rite of purification. At least that's the way I feel when I'm lying back in a steaming tub of water in my bathhouse on a crisp autumn night, savoring the glow of the kerosene lamps against the log walls and listening to the wind outside tell me winter is on its way. It is good — it is very, very good!

Dead Rising 3 Trailer: Halloween is the Reason for the Season Pass
Seems like a day can't go by without at least one publisher announcing a season pass for one of its games. At least in Dead Rising 3's case, we also got a cool new trailer to watch.
Capcom detailed the season pass over on the Unity blog, and it looks like Dead Rising 3 is going to be getting plenty of post-launch content. At least we hope it is, as the season pass costs $29.99. There will be four different add-ons included, starting with Operation Broken Eagle in late December. That DLC will be followed by Fallen Angel, Chaos Rising and The Last Agent some point down the line. Each will cost $9.99 individually.
The trailer doesn't give us any hints about what to expect, but does showcase plenty of costume-based mayhem. We're excited to finally start running around in Dead Rising 3's world in shark suits of our own. Thankfully the wait won't be much longer.
Dead Rising 3 will be out on the Xbox One on Nov. 22.

Chestnut Hill College lost its first men's lacrosse contest in the month of March, but the Griffins bounced back with a vengeance last week, winning each of their first three home games while outscoring their guests by a combined figure of 56-17.
On their way to a 4-1 record, the Griffins dispatched Assumption College on Tuesday (18-4), conquered Coker College on Thursday (16-6), and overpowered American International on Saturday afternoon (22-7). Since the local school was on spring break, the two weekday games each got underway at 1:00 PM.
"We've been running things sort of like a pro team this week," said second-year coach Brian Dougherty. "We've been watching a lot of film and working on integrating our 16 new guys into the program. We're not really putting in a lot of new plays, though. We want to learn what we already have well enough so that we can go fast out there and not have to think about each step."
CHC had opened the season on February 25 with a 7-6 triple-overtime victory at Mercy College, which was ranked ninth nationally in the pre-season NCAA Division II poll. Next it was off to Erie, Pa. to face number one Mercyhurst on March 3, when the host Lakers leveled the Griffins.
Asked what lessons were learned in that encounter with the top-ranked club, Dougherty replied "First and foremost, we just turned the ball over too many times, and when you do that against Mercyhurst, you end up losing 17-5. We got away with that against some teams that aren't as strong, but in the long run that type of thing is going to hurt you. "Sometimes we're just throwing the ball around too casually and not being smart with possession," he elaborated. "Still, I'm not that unhappy at coming away with a split when we opened up with two top-10 teams."
None of CHC's opponents last week were as formidable, and the Griffins took care of business. On Tuesday they whipped in the first six goals to take control in the opening quarter, and they led 11-1 in the third frame before Assumption scored its second goal of the day.
Junior Craig Owen and sophomore Mike Melnychenko each had hat tricks to top a list of 10 CHC goal-scorers. Starting junior goalie Dakota Maurer recorded 10 saves, and Dougherty was able to get sophomore Ryan Duffy into the cage for 15 minutes to make three stops.
Two days later the Griffins hosted Coker, a South Carolina club just starting its first season of intercollegiate lacrosse. The Griffins were in the same position just two years ago.
"Some first-year programs are pretty good," Dougherty cautioned, "and I've found that every time you go into a game thinking you're just going to work on some plays and get everybody in, you usually end up stinking. The way it worked out, we played pretty well at the beginning, so then we were able to give everybody a chance to play and we had a chance to work on our zone offense."
Owen got started on a three-goal, three-assist afternoon with a pair of first-period goals to help the hosts go ahead 6-2, but the Cobras held their own in the second round for an 8-4 halftime tally. After the break the Griffins buckled down once more, ringing up the first seven markers of the second half.
Melnychenko came away with four goals and two assists and fellow sophomore Mike Landau had a hat trick with one assist. Junior Mike Duddy, who had scored CHC's game-winner in the season opener at Mercy, added two goals and an assist, while Maurer made eight saves.
After a balmy week, there was a return to late-winter weather conditions of Saturday. Still, Chestnut Hill fans were in a cheerful mood as bright sunshine greeted the gathering and a dozen different Griffins scored in the game.
In 2011, CHC battled to a three-goal win against American International, and this time out the Griffins broke out of a 2-2 tie but only held a modest 6-4 edge in the middle of the second quarter. The home team then located the gas pedal and stomped on it. They left AIC in the dust in a 12-0 rampage that bridged the second and third quarters and encompassed four of Melnychencko's six goals on the day.
Freshman Nick Johnson notched three goals and an assist, and Davis had two of each for the victors. Freshman Chris Mertens scored once and assisted on three other Griffin goals.
Dougherty was able to give all four goalies on the roster a piece of the action. Maurer only needed to make two stops in 39 minutes of play, and later there was one save apiece for Duffy, freshman Jesse McGinley, and junior David Cutler.

Mistakes to avoid at your first job
Don't start your career off on the wrong track
Dan Moran recently wrote a post on the Careers & Worklife blog with some tips for recent graduates. Below is an excerpt from the post:
This weekend, there will be tens of thousands bright, talented and energetic college graduates walking across the stage to receive their degrees, and it will be a happy day for them as well as their family. Congratulate the recent grad – they deserve it.
And – hopefully shortly – they will be experiencing their first post-college job, a brand new experience for them. Those first days on the job can be confusing and stressful for sure in a new environment we call work and new dynamics of people. I thought it would be helpful to review, again, the career "killing" mistakes people make in the hope that this will help out new graduates steer their way.
Everyone makes mistakes. The real key to success is making good on a mistake you made, admitting it and then learning from the mistake. That is developing leadership – that is being on your way to a highly-successful career.
Click through the slideshow above to learn about mistakes new employees should avoid at all costs.

The Denard to the Nationals rumors refuse to die, and with the Twins looking like they will not be competing in the next 2-3 years. I think maximizing Spans trade value and dealing him in the next month might be the right thing to do.
Now what type of package could we expect to get from Washington has been of of much debate among fans. I have seen some suggest that anything less the Jordan Zimmerman is a deal breaker and others who have clamored we still look for a package revolving around a closer. I thought a good starting place would be to see what other players of Span's caliber have been moved for in recent years and then try to find the best package based on that estimate.
The most logical starting place to me was the Michael Bourn trade last year between the Astros and Braves. Atlanta sent a young, low ceiling major league player and 3 minor leaguers none of whom where top prospects to acquire the leadoff hitter they needed. Bourn was worth 14.0 WAR from 2008 through 2011 while Span was worth 12.2 but missed half of 2011 with his concussion. They are similar players and feel Span should be able to return similer value.
In terms of a low upside major league ready player, I would ask for Steve Lombardozzi who is basically a younger version of Jamey Carrol and could be a useful 2B for the near future not to mention his ties to Twins history. In terms of prospects coming back in the deal I think it is unreasonable to expect the Nationals top prospects as much as I would love to see Anthony Rendon despite his health risk.
When looking through the rest of the Nats top 20 prospect lists they have some pitchers who intrigue me but unfortunately they are hurt or have major question marks about them. Sammy Solis is a 22 year lefthander who sits 90-94 with a plus curveball and solid change, but he is out with Tommy John for the year. Robbie Ray is another young lefthander with three solid pitches, but lacks the upside of some of the other arms in the system. A wildcard Lefty is Kylin Turnbull who has the size and fastball to be an ace but has yet to develop the secondary pitches or consistency. Matt Purke has shoulder issues, Alex Meyer may never be consistent enough with his mechanics to start and so on...
With that in mind I would start the negotiations with Span for Rendon straight up. Twins get their 3B of the future and the Nats fill a big need with a solid CF and very good leadoff hitter as they make a run this year.
Assuming the Nats would balk at giving up Rendon, I would counter with an offer of Span for Lombordozzi, Ray, Turnbull, and PTBNL with the expectation that the player would be Solis assuming he medicals come back positive at the end of the year. The Twins get a young, high OBP, solid defender at 2B to pair with Dozier until Michael is ready. They also get Ray and Turnbull as minor league pitching depth while still being a couple of years away. Getting Solis as the PTBNL is the key to the deal in my opinion. Assuming he does not have any setbacks during rehab, he should be ready to pitch by next spring since he had surgery in Feb. He was set to be at AA so he could conceivably be major league ready by 2014 and profiles as a #3 starter who can miss bats. Something the Twins sorely need.
I think this is a realistic idea of what a return on a Span trade could look like and you could see by 2015 a starting 2B a #3 starter, a #4 starter, and a solid bullpen arm (if Turnbull cant develop secondary pitches) for a year and a half of Span. That's a good value in return.

Piper Aircraft's most recent owner, American Capital, has sold its entire stake in the iconic, 72-year old company to Imprimis, a corporate finance and investment management firm operating from offices in Bangkok, Singapore and Brunei Darussalam, Piper announced on May 1. The new owners have pledged to keep Piper's headquarters, production and product development facilities at Vero Beach.
American Capital acquired the majority of Piper by assuming $57 million of senior debt discounted to $34 million in July of 2003. The company did not disclose how much Imprimis paid.
Imprimis intends to invest "significant capital" in Piper's current operations to strengthen its position in the general aviation market and to support development of key new products, such as the PiperJet. According to the company's news release, Imprimis was drawn to Piper because of significant potential it sees for Piper to expand its activities into new markets in the Asia Pacific region, expected to experience steady growth for two- to six-seat aircraft over the next five years, in part due to shifting demographics and increasing demand for pilot training from training schools and flying clubs, the release said.
"Imprimis brings a level of support that will propel Piper from its current status as a company with a strong heritage, track record of innovation and great potential to one that is growing and pushing the envelope within general aviation," said Piper president and CEO James Bass. Imprimis managing partner Stephen Berger said his company had been looking to invest in an aviation company "with a proven track record of prospering in the face of serious challenges" for some time. Berger pointed to Piper's track record, and to the respect the company enjoys within the general aviation industry, as being among the primary reasons to acquire Piper.
"Piper's capabilities, its excellent dealer family and extensive customer base, coupled with Imprimis' capability to provide financial support, our dedication to growing the companies we invest in and our contacts within Asia provide fertile ground for Piper to expand its business in the Asian market and throughout the world," Berger said. Imprimis sees this acquisition as a perfect fit as we develop plans for Piper's continued growth in its existing markets and for significant expansion within the Asian markets where much of our focus lies."
One of three major U.S. manufacturers of general aviation aircraft, Piper currently manufactures seven models: the Warrior III, Arrow, Seminole, Seneca V, Matrix, Mirage and Meridian; and is developing the PiperJet.

About Andy
This guy is obviously not a parent - Kids will watch TV- and usually the same thing over an over. If this is mixed with reading to them and physical acticity it is not necessarily bad. Netflix allows kids to watch the rpetitive shows easily. Also, I have found it a great way to bond with my son - he loves when I sit down with him to watch G.I. Joe, Transformers and TMNT - what a blast to be able to share my favorites with him.
I'm sure for people employed in low level positions in these industries that this change is very scary. However, for people employed in the larger industries - communications for example, this is a good change. This article could be run every 20 years or so. When cars started to gain popularity there were probably a lot of articles about the poor street cleaners, wagon makers, and stable hands, and how the evil automobile tycoons were depriving them of work. I think the lesson is that people have to be able to change to keep up with technology. I doubt many would argue that we should go back to filthy, smelly, sh*t filled streets because all those poor horse related workers need jobs.
I use my phone in stores all the time for comparison shopping, shopping list building - or to get a consultation from my wife via text message. If any person in a store tried to take my phone to confiscate pictures I would use it to call the police instead. Stores need to embrace this, and maybe even provide devices to their employees to do their own comparisons. Any store that banned this would never get my business, no matter what their prices.
Actually - I believe that the anology to any suitcase is tenuous at best. Luggage left unattended in a public transportation station is most likely not protected from search by authorities - especially in this day and age. It is probably required for most unattended luggage to be searched.
In the case of the thumbdrive - it could be argued that the perosn who finds it is reasonably expected to look at the files to try and determine ownership. Or at the leat - semi-polite to see if perhaps pictures can be found that could help return the dirve to the owner. If the person who found it saw who left the drive than they probably should have jsut pulled it and handed it to the owner. However, when people find electronic devices - picture files are the most common place to find clues concerning ownership - which would explain why the pictures were found so easily.
Think back to the iPhone scandal - after a few months at the outrageous first price $699, Apple dropped the price by a few hundred bucks. What happened? The original buyers creamed bloody murder calling Steve Jobs horrible names and accusing him of ripping them off. He had to issue credits to those people to keep them from storming the Apple stores. Heck - even the Bible addresses this - the parable about the farmer who hires different workers at different times but pays them all the same is a great illustration of 1) Capitalism and 2)Comparative Compensation.
People don't want to feel like they were ripped off - but sometimes that is what happens - the electronics industry uses this model all the time - but they are usually smarter and change the model number before lowering the price. The fact is the first 42 inch flat panel TV's cost $20,000 - now they can be purchased for $500 and they are better.
If you spend your whole life looking over your shoulder to check if you were ripped off you will be very unhappy.

As if we didn't have enough to worry about with fires, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes, now we have worry about arsenic in apple juice, grape juice and rice.
Consumer Reports has been warning us about the high levels of arsenic in juice for several years. In September, the magazine issued a report on arsenic in rice with which the Food and Drug Administration concurred. But the FDA has yet to establish standards for juice and rice.
Since people have been eating rice and drinking juice for a very long time, what has changed? Organic arsenic naturally occurs in soil, but pesticides have been contaminating our soil and water with inorganic arsenic, which is more dangerous. Arsenic, like other heavy metals, remains in the soil for more than 45 years after it is applied to crops.
There is a federal standard for the maximum amount of arsenic in drinking water, which is 10 parts per billion. It has long been monitored in our area, and the water quality reports indicate that we are considerably below the federal standard: Huntington Beach, Newport Beach and Laguna Beach all have levels of around 2.3 to 2.8.
However, there is no standard for groundwater. Arsenic dissolves easily in groundwater and is readily absorbed by plants. In the American South, cotton fields were sprayed with arsenic-based pesticides to control boll weevils. Many of these fields have been converted to rice paddies, which are flooded with water. For this reason, American rice has higher amounts of arsenic than rice from elsewhere in the world. Since 1910, the U.S. has used about 1.6 million tons of arsenic for agricultural and industrial purposes. About half of that total was used since the mid-1960s. Residues linger in soil even though the use of lead arsenate in insecticides has been banned since the 1980s.
Organic basmati or jasmine rice from India or Thailand is considered the safest. California rice is the best in the U.S. Surprisingly, brown rice has more arsenic than white.
A study from the Environmental Protection Agency from 2009-10 estimated that rice provides 17% of dietary exposure to inorganic arsenic, putting it behind fruits and fruit juices at 18% and vegetables at 24%, leafy green being the worst (however, since we eat less of them, they are less of a risk). Because of their chemical structure, plants mistake arsenic for nutrients and readily absorb it from the soil.
At very high levels, we know that arsenic can be fatal, but far less is known about what happens to people exposed to low levels over a long period of time. A professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health says that arsenic is clearly associated with lung, skin and bladder cancers. At lower levels, it probably causes fewer cases, but it is still risky. In children, it may cause problems with brain development, and in pregnancy, it may cause miscarriages and low birth weight. Infant cereals contain worrisome levels, rice cereal being the highest.
Here are recommended exposure levels for rice products from Consumers Union (one product per day or week as indicated):
•Infant cereal: serving size, 1/4 cup: children 1/4 cup per day; adults N/A.
