Wind power is now the world's fastest growing energy source and has also become one of the most rapidly expanding industries."
10¹⁶ watts - that's roughly the amount of energy at the disposal of a civilization that can harness all the incident solar radiation that falls on a planet from its parent star -
Chaco Harper Lace 19Oe2
. When renown astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev first set out to measure a civilization's level of technological advancement in 1964, he settled on energy consumption as the best metric for gaging progress on a cosmic scale.
In many ways energy is the currency of our Universe, from single celled organisms swimming in primordial pools, to colonies of Meerkats on the African savannah, to sprawling metropolises like New York, Sydney, or Beijing. At the dawn of the first millennium AD, global population was a mere 150-200 million people, reaching 300 million by the year 1000 AD. By the dawn of the Industrial Revolution (mid 1700s), fossil fuels had fueled the rapid advancement and expansion of human civilization, reaching a population of 1 billion by 1800.
Contemporary society currently rests at 0.73 on the Kardashev scale. While we've got a shot at Type 1, the adverse effects of burning fossil fuels have left us in dire need of an alternative.
Enter, alternative energy - any energy source that provides an alternative to the status quo. Renewable energy sources that don't produce carbon dioxide emissions and other greenhouse gasses that contribute to anthropogenic climate change. At altenergy.org we aim to cover solar, wind, biomass, hydroelectric power, geothermal and other carbon neutral energy sources that will help humanity transition to a sustainable future.
What better way is there to reach Type I status, than to get your energy straight from the source—solar power involves harnessing the power of our sun. From photovoltaic (PV) cells that capture photons and convert them into electricity, to solar thermal energy (STE) that makes use of the sun's heat, solar is one of the most promising alternative energy sources on the market today.
For thousands of years, humans have harnessed the wind to push sails, mill grain, and pump water. Today, windmills use turbines to convert rotational energy into electricity that can reliably flow into to a grid. On a larger scale, wind farms are projected to provide as much as 20% of global electricity production by 2030 .
and biodiesel are among the most widely used renewable energy sources. In stark contrast to fossil fuels which are produced by geological processes that can take millions of years, biomass typically refers to biofuels that are obtained through biological processes such as agriculture and anaerobic digestion. Fuels like bioethanol from corn or biodiesel from transesterification of plant oils burn cleaner than conventional fossil fuels and can help countries stay within their carbon budgets.
There are several other ways to get Ubuntu including torrents, which can potentially mean a quicker download, our network installer for older systems and special configurations and links to our regional DVD image mirrors for our older (and newer) releases. If you don't specifically require any of these installers, we recommend using our default installers .
The network installer lets you install Ubuntu over a network. It includes the minimal set of packages needed to start and the rest of the packages are downloaded over the network. Since only current packages are downloaded, there is no need to upgrade packages immediately after installation.
The network installer is ideal if you have a computer that cannot run the graphical installer, for example, because it does not meet the minimum requirements for the live CD/DVD, or because the computer requires extra configuration before a graphical desktop can be used. The network installer is also useful if you want to install Ubuntu on a large number of computers at once.
BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer download network that sometimes enables higher download speeds and more reliable downloads of large files. You will need to install a BitTorrent client on your computer in order to enable this download method.
If you require advanced networking and storage features such as; LVM, RAID, multipath, vlans, bonds, or re-using existing partitions, you will want to continue to use the alternate installer.
For other versions of the Ubuntu installer please select your nearest mirror; however, we recommend you use the standard installer as all other packages are available in Ubuntu Software Centre.
Looking for an older release of Ubuntu? Whether you need an obsolete release or a previous LTS point release with its original stack, you can find them in past releases.

Argument: Osama bin Laden's Secret Masturbation Fatwa Osama bin Laden's Secret Masturbation Fa...
In January, the U.S. government released 49 new documents seized in 2011 from Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Among the items — the fourth and final batch of bin Laden documents made public since 2012 — is a letter addressed to a senior colleague in North Africa in which the now-deceased al Qaeda leader raises "a very special and top secret matter":
It pertains to the problem of the brothers who are with you in their unfortunate celibacy and lack of availability of wives for them in the conditions that have been imposed on them. We pray to God to release them. I wrote to Shaykh/Doctor ((Ayman)), [al-Zawahiri], and I consulted with Shaykh ((Abu Yahya)) [al-Libbi].
Dr. Ayman has written us his opinion … As we see it, we have no objection to clarifying to the brothers that they may, in such conditions, masturbate, since this is an extreme case. The ancestors approved this for the community. They advised the young men at the time of the conquest to do so. It has also been prescribed by the legists when needed, and there is no doubt that the brothers are in a state of extreme need.
It is well-known that bin Laden was a fastidious and overbearing micromanager . But few would have suspected that it extended this far. And although it has been widely reported that he was in possession of a porn stash at his Abbottabad compound, it will no doubt come as a surprise that bin Laden, the foremost jihadi of his generation, had thought long and hard (no pun intended) on the issue of masturbation, as has current al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.
Bin Laden's edict, though, raises more questions than it clarifies: If knocking one out in times of "extreme need" is permitted, how does one define the emergency of "extreme need": Is it a week, a month, or a mere day of celibacy? Alas, bin Laden's letter doesn't shed any light on these burning questions.
All of this is good, harmless fun, of course. But the sexual torment of jihadis is no laughing matter, and may even help explain the genesis of their violence.
In the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, the evolutionary biologist and world-famous atheist Richard Dawkins poured scorn over the notion that the 19 hijackers were motivated by thoughts of injustice. On the contrary, he insisted, what they really wanted was to get laid. Referring to the "martyr's reward of 72 virgin brides," he claimed that "testosterone-sodden young men too unattractive to get a woman in this world might be desperate enough to go for 72 private virgins in the next."

BERLIN — Chancellor Angela Merkel, who staked her legacy on welcoming hundreds of thousands of migrants into Germany, agreed on Monday to build border camps for asylum seekers and to tighten the border with Austria in a political deal to save her government.
It was a spectacular turnabout for a leader who has been seen as the standard-bearer of the liberal European order but who has come under intense pressure at home from the far right and from conservatives in her governing coalition over her migration policy.
Although the move to appease the conservatives exposed her growing political weakness, Ms. Merkel will limp on as chancellor. For how long is unclear. The nationalism and anti-migrant sentiment that has challenged multilateralism elsewhere in Europe is taking root — fast — in mainstream German politics.
Ms. Merkel agreed to the latest policy after an insurrection over migration policy led by her interior minister, Horst Seehofer , threatened to bring down her coalition.

walk in the word
james macdonald
30When he was at the table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them. 31And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their sight. 32They said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?" 33And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, 34saying, "The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!" 35Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of bread. — Luke 24:30-35
Followers of the Lord Jesus Christ know that the resurrection of Christ is the most powerful event in history. All that we ascribe to, all that our life and worship is all about, is based upon the foundational piece that Jesus Christ rose from the dead.
I wonder how many believers experience that "resurrection power." Is there much that you would like to accomplish but you just don't sense the capacity and strength to do it? Or maybe your life lacks the power to break the chain of sinful habits or to overcome fear, anxiety, or depression. I want you to know that whatever it is, Jesus Christ can change your life. His resurrection is the power to prove that. I know I wouldn't want to live without it.
On a week just like this right after Resurrection Sunday, Jesus met two guys on the road to Emmaus who needed "resurrection power" to overcome one of the saddest weekends of their lives. They were walking home from Jerusalem, overwhelmed with the events they had witnessed. Jesus He knew their hearts were aching and He wanted to bring His resurrection power to bear upon them. He wants to do that for you too.
But we were hoping…
There's the source of sadness right there. If you're filled with sadness, then you've had your hopes dashed. Things didn't turn out how you planned, how you'd hoped. These guys knew how that felt for sure. They needed power and got it by recognizing who Jesus was.
You may ask, How can I access that kind of resurrection power in my life? Do what these guys did: take Him at His Word. Believe what He said . . .
…about salvation. "I am the way, the truth and the life…" (John 14:6). If you've never embraced Christ as your Savior, that's step one for you.
…about the power Jesus gives us to depend on Him. John 15:12-14, "I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in Me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing."
Bottom line: The most powerful event in history is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. I'm telling you this for one reason— you can know this power in your life. You can. Believe what He said, embrace Him as your Savior and learn, as I'm learning, what it means to walk and follow Jesus, risen from the dead. "…to know Him is life eternal" (John 17:3).
Journal: Do I know this resurrection power in my own life? When have I felt it?
Lord, Your power is above all things. Help me to know that power through a personal relationship with Your Son, Jesus Christ. I don't want to go one more day without that power flowing through me. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

The Odyssey School
Location: Bainbridge Island, Washington
No. of Students in School: 125
Teacher: Barry Hoonan
No. of Years Teaching: 19
Grade: 5th and 6th grade cluster
Subject: Language Arts
No. of Students in the Classroom: 31
Odyssey School is an alternative public school on Bainbridge
Island, eight miles from Seattle by ferry. It is one of four
elementary schools serving this community of 20,000. When
it opened five years ago, it had 75 students in grades one
through six, organized into multi-grade groupings known as
clusters. This year, the school grew to 125 students with
the addition of a 7/8 cluster. Class size at Odyssey is on
a par with that at other island elementaries. Students are
looped, staying with the same instructor for two years. Although
approximately 80 percent of parents commute to Seattle, the
school represents a wide range of incomes and includes artisans
and local farmers as well as stockbrokers and lawyers. Families
must agree to volunteer between five and 10 hours a month
at the school before they may enroll their child. With twice
as many applications as available spots, the school has a
lengthy waiting list and is currently evaluating whether it
needs to undertake further expansion and if so, how
to achieve that growth while maintaining the current sense
of community.
is located in a spacious old elementary library building and
is designed to have the nurturing feel of a one-room schoolhouse.
Students call teachers by their first names. The elementary
grades spend part of each morning together, and they share
computers and other resources as needed. Each elementary cluster
has one teacher who is responsible for all instruction. Within
such a small environment, parents are a vital resource, sharing
their skills and expertise in the classroom. For instance,
since Barry Hoonan's expertise lies primarily in language
arts, he recruits family members who are strong in math and
science to help teach advanced concepts to his cluster. Teachers
of grades one to six coordinate a three-year cycle of instruction
together. Although the state mandates that children must know
certain concepts by certain grade levels, it has been supportive
of Odyssey's alternative approach to education.
all public school students in Washington, children at Odyssey
must take the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL)
in grades 4, 7, and 10. But for Mr. Hoonan, assessment is
far more than a measure of what students have accomplished;
it is also a tool to help them grow. Mr. Hoonan keeps a daily
journal on the progress of individual students and targets
five or six students a day for individual assistance. He has
children maintain a portfolio of their work, and actively
involves them in establishing the criteria on which they will
be evaluated. In addition, he asks parents to conduct formal
interviews with their children at various points in the year,
using a sheet of questions designed to show students the progression
of their thinking over time.

ArchitectsN+B Architectes
LocationBagnols-sur-Cèze, France
Directors In ChargeElodie Nourrigat & Jacques Brion
Associate ArchitectFrancis Privat
Budget17,000,000 €
Area0.0 m2
Project Year2010
Text description provided by the architects. The High School Albert Einstein, Brassens site, is a big building of the 60's. Built with a model, it is composed by high linear buildings from 60 to 80 cm lengh and big metallic workshops. Site's analysis shows several functional gaps. Today it is important to change establishment's image by the way of idea and contemporary vision.
- Reconquest's strategy "Find place's scale" The stake is to reconquest the human scale in building and exterior spaces. The project draws one's inspiration from campus model which presents the advantage to be flexible and to allow a better identification education's poles. This intervention process also allows to students to find easily a way and fit into a social life while being supervised (easy reading of circulations, gratitude of spaces).
- Find centrality, establishment heart close to all the functions The court is the major element of the project, meeting's place but also transition. Its localization offers direct connection with the cafeteria, restaurant place, administration, workshop, general teaching room, school life. Here gather the students during their free time. That is why it is necessary to propose qualities of specific spaces, easily appropriable, playful and to bring a feature to the exteriors arrangements. The landscape treatment of the court is voluntary urban type like central place, mainly mineral, allowing a differentiation with gardens.
- Realize low heights buildings, low influence on the ground to get a better distribution and space's occupation. This flexibility allows adapting itself to the program and to the discipline in constant evolution
- A real landscape project
Spaces are treated and easily recognizable to assert an idea of sequences and gratitude education's pole. Gardens between the buildings are like screens improving a better visual and thermal comfort and offering landscape diversity. Visual borderlines are more and more wide thanks to the preserving of the green space in the Northwest of the High School.
- To join over time
To create a new school it is to fall in the future and to think of the duration. It is not enough to produce a building operating during its delivery. It is necessary to give to it the strength to cross the time and to be a successful tool. Our intervention takes into account the educational project, the architectural flexibility, the environmental protection and the public character of the building. For it is necessary to become aware of the place which the intervention is going to join and to bring to the foreground its fundamental qualities. The natural elements have to become the symbols of the equipments all the more when it is about places of training. The architectural project becomes itself an educational object, because it shows a conscious act of a reality but especially stakes in the environmental scale, in a concern to leave with the future generations a healthy living environment.
To think of a sustainable development crosses well on by the qualitative consideration of materials, a technical work on the management of the energies, but also by a logic the layout of places. It is in the sense that we began this project, by joining in the time. The intervention which we propose allows restoring coherence and featuring to the set by means of a new spatial scenography.

Alumni who wish to make mid-career moves and those starting out their careers will benefit from an array of new services provided by the Schroeder Center for Career Development at Wabash.
The program is called "Experience" and is entirely free for alumni to use. The new services expand the successful Wabash Works program available to current Wabash students.
"We're very excited to offer these services to alumni at any point in their lives," said Schroeder Center Director Scott Crawford. "The 'Wabash Works for Alumni' website brings together a large number of powerful tools alumni can use if they're interested in making a career move or if they're moving to a different part of the country.
"This new Experience system will have a different look and feel from the site we offer our students, and more importantly, all of the jobs we post are aimed at alumni with work experience," Crawford said.
Alumni can access the system either from the Alumni and Parents page on the Wabash website, from the Schroeder Center link on the College's home page, or by clicking here.
While the services available are all free of charge to alumni, usernames and passwords will be required. Usually access to the site can be granted on the same business day it is requested.
"This is yet another way the Schroeder Center is reaching out to harness the power of the Wabash alumni network," said Tom Runge '71, Director of Alumni and Parent Relations.
The new website features, among other tools, jobs that flow through the Schroeder Center aimed at alumni with experience; many of those postings come directly from alumni employers, while others are culled from Career Builder, Dice, and Hot Jobs.
Two of the more powerful tools are CareerSearch and Vault.
"CareerSearch is a tool that allows alumni to identify potential employers by specific industry and geographic area," said Crawford. "It also provides an excellent search feature to identify headhunters by industry, specialty, city, and salary level, which can be an extremely helpful resource for alumni job seekers."
Vault provides access to insider research on businesses and in law with over 100 downloadable books specific to career fields.
"The books include thorough company profiles, as well as insider snapshots of what it's like to work for the company — from what it's like to interview there to salary and benefits and opportunities for advancement," Crawford said.
In addition, the Vault feature has videos available on demand with tips for alumni heading into a job search.
The Alumni and Parent Relations Office is partnering with the Schroeder Center for Career Development to pick up the costs of the services.
"Lots of colleges and universities offer these types of services, but you have to pay to get access to them," added Crawford. "Once they have gotten their password from our office, alumni have unlimited access to enormous amounts of information.
"We're pleased to launch this initiative and hope alumni will tap into the powerful tools now available to them."
The Schroeder Center for Career Development also utilized its summer interns to create a new video for Wabash students. The video, entitled Career Success Tips from Wabash Alumni, includes tips from more than a dozen successful alumni on interview prep, resume and cover letter writing, and how to show off your best skills to potential employers. The new video can be seen on Wabash's site on iTunes U.

Researchers know, just by comparing two brains, which one was exposed to alcohol. The alcohol-exposed brain is smaller, smoother, flat.
Children with full fetal alcohol syndrome also have distinctive facial features -- their eyes are close together and the area beneath their nose is flat.
Jeff Wozniak, a neuropsychologist at the University of Minnesota, wants to look below the surface. A machine similar to an MRI lets him zoom in for a closer look at the brains of children between the ages of 10 and 17 who were exposed to alcohol before birth.
"What we're doing is looking at a milder group of children, who have some abnormalities in terms of their cognitive development, their intellectual development. They have less obvious physical findings," says Wozniak.
The cutting-edge project doesn't aim to diganose fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. Rather, Wozniak says, it's a way to understand what happens to the brain when a pregnant woman drinks.
Wozniak says the microscopic brain tissue he's studying is surprisingly like the children -- disorganized.
"We associate that with less efficient handling of information. It shows up in terms of differences in processing speed, and in some cases, differences in concentration skills. And it may also contribute to some of the other cognitive problems that we see," says Wozniak.
Wozniak is studying children in the Midwest, while other researchers travel the world to understand how to better diagnose alcohol exposure.
Dr. Eugene Hoyme, chairman of pediatrics at Sanford Health, is known around the world for developing diagnostic criteria for this disorder. Hoyme says many countries deny alcohol consumption during pregnancy is a problem.
Hoyme uses Italy as an example, where drinking wine has been part of the culture for 2,000 years. He says many doctors refuse to even discuss the effects of that behavior.
"We did a study and the prevalence is 2 percent in Italy, and 1 percent in the United States. The Italians still have a hard time believing that's really true, and it's just because [wine] is like mother's milk to them," says Hoyme. "Part of it is, as a society we don't accept alcohol is a problem and we don't do a good job educating physicians about it."
Hoyme says while alcohol use is accepted in nearly all cultures, it's most prevalent in the villages of South Africa. As a result, there are more children in that country who are alcohol-exposed than anywhere else in the world. Eight percent of first grade children in South Africa suffer from brain damage, and Hoyme says the rate is so high because many of the farm workers are paid in wine.
Hoyme is trying to find a way to diagnose children earlier -- perhaps in infancy.
"If you can identify a child very early in life, and you can institute early intervention, then perhaps in the long run the outcome will be greatly improved," says Hoyme.
Early intervention means teaching the child techniques to better understand what is happening around them. For a child with FAS, it's a life of confusion and poor judgment. Many of these children have a hard time in school.
According to Marcia Maltaverne, an education specialist with the South Dakota Center for Disabilities, FAS kids are usually hyperactive and they fidget. These are signs often misinterpreted as bad behavior.
"They can't really tell you, 'Oh, I'm overloaded with sensory stimuli.' We need to educate first the parents, and the service providers," says Maltaverne. "Then we need to educate these kids themselves to recognize, 'This is my disability. These are the things I'm really good at. These are things I need some help with, and when this happens this helps me.'"
Maltaverne says the solution can be simple, like giving the kids a quiet place to calm down or even a ball to squeeze. She says earlier diagnosis would help parents and children learn these tools earlier, so by the time they're in school they know what works best.
One of the groundbreaking studies into fetal alcohol exposure is taking place in Sioux Falls. The Safe Passage study is the largest of its kind, and will follow 12,000 pregnant women over the next seven years. The women are in South Dakota, on Indian reservations in North Dakota, and in South Africa.
At a clinic in Sioux Falls, a pregnant woman, who wants to be anonymous, lies back in an exam room. Her gown is raised and her stomach is exposed. She's 22 weeks pregnant.
Kathy Harris, a nurse who helps gather the data for the study, is trying to find the fetal heartbeat. The baby just switched positions so it's difficult to get an accurate reading.
Monitoring the fetal heartbeat lets them detect movement inside the womb. It's all recorded on a computer connected to the heart monitor.
Harris also asks the pregnant woman a series of questions about her eating and drinking habits, and other specifics about her pregnancy.
"We do that three times during the study, and the questions vary," says Harris. "When she delivers we see mom and baby about 12 to 18 hours after delivery. We measure the baby's vital signs and respiratory rate. We take its temperature and blood pressure. We watch any movement. Any time the baby whimpers, sighs, suck, move its head, cry we record it."
What they're looking for is the maturity of the baby's central nervous system. They'll see mom and baby again and have several phone conversations for a year after birth. If the baby dies, they'll do an autopsy.
It's a way to have what's called forward data, instead of looking back after something bad happens. It's a large study that will try to answer several questions -- including why some children exposed to alcohol develop FAS and others don't.
"I think that's a question that remains unanswered for medical and educational communities," says Amy Elliott, the project's coordinator. "I also hope to provide some further definition around other disorders in the FASD family."
Elliott is also looking at how alcohol and drug use affect child mortality, like stillbirths or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Elliott says they're including alcohol and drug use in the study because drinking alcohol doesn't exist in isolation.
It'll be years before any conclusive results are available from these studies. One thing seems to be consistent for many researchers looking at fetal alcohol syndrome -- the more they reach out to women and talk about the dangers of drinking and pregnancy, the more likely it is there will be fewer children who need their research.

Feedback on Chicken Diseases and Treatments
Patricia Earnest's article about treatments for chicken diseases in the March/April 1974 issue of MOTHER EARTH NEWS is a disaster. One old-time remedy I'd advise for her: "An ounce of prevention ..."
[1] "Chickens still get sick," the author says, "sometimes with fairly lethal diseases ... "; "Vicious" is a better term for Newcastle disease, pullorum disease, infectious bronchitis, etc. There is no treatment for these conditions. Disinfect the premises with lye and start over with clean birds.
[2] "Roup is caused by cold, damp or drafty quarters ... "; Roup is caused by a protozoan (Trichomonas gallinae). Pigeons and wild birds pick it up and transmit it to chickens via contaminated water. To prevent it, keep such carriers away from your flock — or at least from their drinking water — and try a little Clorox in the liquid. Dimetridazole (0.05 percent) in the water will help prevent severe illness if the disease occurs.
[3] Gapeworms "lodge in the hen's throat" ... nuts! The larvae of the gapeworm live and mature in the lungs, trachea and bronchi, causing a severe pneumonia in young birds. Holding the chickens upside down by the legs is as ridiculous as holding a human pneumonia patient in a similar position.
Gapes is transmitted when birds eat the larvae or eggs of the pest, or when they eat earthworms, snails and slugs containing the larvae. Prevention consists of keeping the flock off freshly plowed ground where they will pick up many earthworms, and giving 0.1 percent thiabendazole in the feed for two weeks.
[4] In cases of scaly legs, "that old cure-all potassium permanganate" just turns the legs purple and is virtually worthless. The vaseline Ms. Earnest recommends is somewhat effective, since the disease is caused by a mite and the idea is to smother it with a fine oil. A better, more penetrating coating, however, is one part kerosene to two parts raw linseed oil.
[5] "Liver trouble", etc. The description of the symptoms suggests a condition known as bluecomb disease, of unknown cause. Stress predisposes chickens to this trouble and should be avoided. Especially, make sure they have water at all times ... and in liquid form, not frozen in the winter. Try one of the following additions to the flock's drink: blackstrap molasses (2 percent), potassium chloride (0.5 percent) or oxytetracycline (1 to 5 grams to 5 gallons of water).
[6] "Feather pulling is not a disease ... "; It most certainly can be! The condition is called gumboro disease and there is a vaccine which can be put in the drinking water. It's not 100 percent effective but is of worth in large flocks.
A couple more points: Many antibiotics are as "natural" as kerosene or vaseline ... and "newness" should not be a criterion for drug selection. For example, ephedrine was introduced into this country in the 1920s but had been used in China for a few thousand years.
I'd advise Ms. Earnest to chuck her present literature and do one or both of two things: [1] Buy The Merck Veterinary Manual. [2] Get hold of some old Chinese manuscripts dealing with medicine, since the Chinese remedies were more advanced in A.D. 1 than the 19th century American remedies espoused by Ms. Earnest.
I'm not a poultry pathologist — merely a graduate vet trying to pass the New York State licensing examinations — but if any readers have questions regarding animal health I'd be more than happy to answer.

Feedback on Rattlesnakes
Shirley G. Wade's article about avoiding and dealing with rattlesnakes from the March/April 1974 issue of MOTHER EARTH NEWS contains some good advice and some that is obviously the product of ignorance. I was born and raised in Arizona and have spent a good part of my time outdoors ... and I find some of Ms. Wade's suggestions foolish and ecologically unsound in that they emphasize the killing of snakes.
A large rattlesnake exterminates a highly significant amount of gophers, mice, rats, etc. every month of its life, and many other predators find the snakes themselves quite palatable ... so that the creatures have their own niche in the food chain and total ecology of an area. Furthermore, any rattler that's given an avenue of escape will remove itself immediately from confrontation with human beings.
The sentiment expressed in Ms. Wade's article leads to the kind of indiscriminate killing that has put so many names on our "endangered species" list (the timber wolf and mountain lion are fine examples).
Paul Grant
Osage, Minn.
Shirley G. Wade's suggestions on how to avoid snakebite seem to me to be in direct opposition to all the things MOTHER stands for. Here are some facts most people don't know about rattlesnakes and "rattler country":
[1] If you're in the United States, you're in rattler country. Thirty-three forms of rattlesnakes are found in the U.S. and only three states (Alaska, Hawaii and Maine) have none at all.
[2] According to a government survey on the diet of rattlesnakes and copperheads, over 90 percent of their food is rodents (rats, mice, gophers, etc.). One large diamondback had the remains of over 50 mice in its stomach. You'll have a larger harvest with snakes in your field.
[3] Rattlers do not attack human beings (it would be like us trying to attack King Kong). They are terribly shy creatures. Keep away from them and they'll keep away from you.
[4] Rattlesnakes are not gentlemen. They don't rattle to warn you that they're about to strike, they rattle because they're scared (and rightfully so). Also, snakes are deaf and therefore don't realize that they're rattling.
[5) Most people who are bitten by rattlers are bitten while in the process of "banging the snake to death".
[6] Knee-high snake boots are uncomfortable and a waste of money and energy. I've walked among hundreds of rattlesnakes in only ankle-high footwear and have never been bitten. The fangs of a large reptile may penetrate the leather anyway.
[7] Snakebite kits are extremely dangerous. If you use them — or the cutting-sucking method — and survive, it will be in spite of the treatment and not because of it. (Recent Red Cross manuals advise that both these measures are unsafe.)
[8] The only true medical treatment for rattlesnake bite is an injection of North American anti-venom (Wyeth). It can be given by a layman in extreme emergencies but should normally be administered only by a doctor.
[9] Only one out of ten snakebite victims dies even with no treatment at all. Of those who have the bite treated, only one out of a hundred dies:
[10] In my extensive experience with rattlers, I've found them shy, beautiful, graceful and ecologically important. Unfortunately, they're getting scarce. I hope enough people allow these and other creatures to live in harmony on their land to save the rattlesnake from going the way of so many species.

Feedback on Starting a Local Bicycle Business
As a bicycle mechanic with a fair amount of experience, I'd like to add a few words of warning to Gary Holmes' March/April 1974 article about starting a bike business.
[1] Gary says: "If possible, assemble a couple of bicycles before you order parts so you'll be familiar with the various bits and pieces." It seems to me that if you aren't already on speaking terms with those bits and pieces, you shouldn't be in the bicycle business.
Get some experience first: Either work with an established dealer for a while, or start off — as I did — just doing repairs out of your own home and buying parts as you need them from the local bike shop. (You may be able to persuade the owner to give you a small discount.) I operated that way for several months before I was offered a job in a shop. Now, a year later, I'm just about experienced enough to open my own place (which I would do were I not more interested in homesteading).
[2] It's very hard not to get burned ordering bicycles, even if you're a veteran in the business. The inexperienced dealer hardly stands a chance. Most of the 10-speeds now manufactured are absolute junk and will take up much of your time and money with "guarantee" work (when you — not the factory — must do the guaranteeing). This is true even of makes with good reputations ... the big companies have cheapened their products incredibly in the past few years. Making many of these machines work involves everything from replacing parts (usually at your expense) to framebending or redesigning the drive train.
[3] Gary says he can assemble a 10-speed in 15 minutes. I don't believe he can do this without cutting corners. I'm pretty fast and it still takes me an average of 50 minutes per bike ... but that includes checking and usually adjusting hubs, bottom bracket and headset, truing the wheels (and sometimes dishing the rear one), making the gears work perfectly and checking every nut and bolt on the bike.
Incidentally, the best handbook for a bike shop is the Schwinn dealers' manual. Try to get a copy from a friendly Schwinn agent (it's not available to the public). Second best is Glenn's Complete Bicycle Repair Manual by Clarence W. Coles and Harold T. Glenn. This book bears a strong resemblance to the Schwinn guide ... it even contains some of the same mistakes.

Natural Hay Fever Remedies
Several months ago I wrote a letter—which appeared in MOTHER NO. 24—asking for a natural cure for hay fever and suggestions for reading materials on this subject. Since then I have received 70 helpful responses from all over the United States and even from Canada and Sweden. I can't answer all those letters individually, but I'd like to share the ideas with the people who wrote to me and with the rest of MOTHER's readers.
Of the 70 letters, 40 concerned honey. Most of these writers told me to eat a lot of raw local honey year round and to chew the combs and/or cappings during hay fever season. The theory is that the bees visit the plants in the immediate area and gather pollen ... including the types that are causing the allergic reactions. Immunity is built up by consuming the small amounts contained in the honey and wax. See Vermont Folk Medicine by Dr. D.C. Jarvis for further explanation.
The next most common suggestion was to follow the advice of Adelle Davis in Let's Get Well and Let's Eat Right to Keep Fit: Take large amounts of vitamin C, backed up by extra vitamins A, B and E and pantothenic acid.
Several people advised me to eliminate certain foods from my diet, one at a time. Specifically mentioned were milk, wheat, sugar, salt and carbohydrates. Others told me to try eliminating emotional stress. Four writers urged that I see a chiropractor, and three proposed snuffing salt water.
Less frequent suggestions included: drink goat's milk or cocklebur, pennyroyal or mint tea, eat pollen, chew young comfrey leaves, take calcium tablets, acerola vitamin C or goldenseal, get a lot of potassium, try foot reflexology, yoga, Edgar Cayce inhalants or mucusless diet healing, put vaseline on the nostrils at night and see an allergist who treats with organic extracts.
The following additional sources were recommended: Back to Eden by Jethro Kloss, Get Well Naturally by Linda Clark, Food Is Your Best Medicine by Henry G. Bieler, M.D., Prevention magazine from Rodale Press, Mucusless Diet Healing System by Arnold Ehret and Helping Yourself with Foot Reflexology by Mildred Carter.
I'm trying the most common suggestion first: I've been eating a lot of local raw honey and I have some cappings and comb ready to use this summer. If that works we'll start keeping our own bees ... if not, I'll experiment with some of the other advice. I'd like to thank everyone who responded to my letter.

Details of Football and the Ticket Luck value
There isn't a sport in the country that generates the kind of excitement football does. Since the time this amazing sport was played for the first time to this very day and age it has been at the forefront of the sports culture of the nation. It is now without a doubt the most watched annual sporting extravaganza. The new season is about to start so this is your chance to grab football tickets and catch the excitement live.
Football in the U.S is played under NFL and the NCAA. The former might be the biggest professional league in the country but the sport began from the college level. The first recorded game in history was played in the year 1869 when Rutgers took on Princeton University. Walter Camp arrived onto the scene and came up with a few new rules at the start of 1880's. Those changes turned the game on its head and put it on the way to becoming the phenomenon we see today.
Harvard built the country's first ever football stadium in 1903. More changes like the introduction of the forward pass rule were incorporated which in turn made the sport more exciting to watch. The sport began on college levels and put it on its way to becoming the rage it is today but it was the arrival of the NFL that turned it global.
NFL was created in 1920 by a group of four teams Dayton Triangles, Akron Pros, Cleveland Indians and the Canton Bulldogs came together. The entity was named the American Professional Football Association. It was in 1922 that the name was changed to National Football League.
The league had to encounter financial issues during the first few years but it came out of it and football began witness tremendous growth. By the mid 1900's the NFL had joined the ranks of the most watched leagues in the country. The American League was formed in 1960 and posed a serious threat to the NFL. The league competed on almost every front but the NFL finally triumphed and the AL merged into it.
NFL now has two conferences the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference. Each of these two conferences contains four divisions South, East, West and North. The teams with best records are crowned division champions who are then joined by two wild card entrants in the playoffs. The teams that come out on top in both conferences are crowned conference champions and they go on to headline the "Super Bowl," one of the most watched sporting events in the world.
Football at both college level and during the NFL season is a spectacle unlike any other. If NCAA shows the most promising young talent in the country then the NFL provides the stage for the biggest stars in the sport to shine. The latest season will not be any different so book your football tickets and watch all the action unfold live.

Wayland installing carbon monoxide detectors after students fall ill
Maintenance crews at Wayland Baptist University are working to install carbon monoxide detectors in all campus residence halls after two students apparently became ill in one of the women's dormitories.
According to Dr. Paul Armes, president of Wayland's Plainview campus, two female students were taken to Covenant Hospital Plainview on Monday for testing to ensure no lasting effects from the apparent leak.
"We've tested all our equipment and can find no fault there, so we feel like it might have been weather-related," Armes said.
"These older units are not equipped with forced exhaust mechanisms like the newer ones are. When we begin replacing those units, it won't be a problem."
Though all equipment at Ferguson Hall was found in working order, the university immediately installed carbon monoxide detectors in the dormitory and more were ordered for the remaining campus dorms. Such detectors are already in place in Wayland's married student housing units.
No leak problems have been detected in any other student dormitory. The students were given oxygen treatments and no further treatments were needed. Ferguson's residence hall supervisor Patti Alter said about a dozen students complained of headaches but that no one had any bad repercussions from the incident. She said no such incidents had occurred previously in the dorm.

text: Robots and Rotaries January 29, 2013 08:43 PM Tweet Each stall of the GEA DairyProQ has its own robotic arm, which can be tucked under protective housing when the cow enters and exits. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By MILK Guest Editor written by Wilfried Wesselink Equipment companies inch toward commercialization With labor costs and issues still a huge problem worldwide, Bonus Content More on GEA and DeLaval robotic rotaries Innovation at DeLaval milking equipment companies continue to push forward with automated milking solutions for dairy operations large and small. During the EuroTier show in Hanover, Germany, this past November, GEA showed a prototype of its DairyProQ robotic milking stall module. Installed in a 32-stall rotary, it will be capable of milking 400 to 500 cows profitably, the company says. GEA officials note that the DairyProQ is designed for flexibility, capable of milking on outside rotaries and in herringbone and side-by-side parlors. The module is designed for either semi-automatic milking or complete automation of the entire milking process. For semi-automatic milking, attachment of teat cups would still be done by human hands. But teat sanitation, unit removal, sanitation of the milker units and postmilking teat dipping would be done automatically. Full automation would include teat cup attachment. Even then, GEA assumes that one person will be needed in the parlor to monitor the operation and/or bring cows to the parlor. Full automation would include teat cup attachment as well as sanitation The prototype has a robot for each stall. That allows for quick reattachment of a teat cup should it be kicked off. The robot arm and teat cups are located beside the cow, tucked away and hidden for protection between the sides of each stall. The cow is indexed into position by a sliding trough. The robot locates the teats by a "time of flight" camera that does not require the use of historically known teat coordinates of each cow. After the teat cup is connected, the teat is washed and the initial three releases of foremilk are taken away. During milking, the robot arm remains under the cow. Milking is done by quarter. If one quarter is done before the others, the teat cup remains attached at a lower vacuum until all four quarters are milked. Teats are then postdipped, and all four quarter units are removed. The 32 robotic milkers are controlled by central computer. GEA is also introducing new software, called DairyProView, to monitor the milking process of all individual cows on a central display. Teat cup attachment should take no longer than 25 seconds to help achieve needed turns per hour. DairyProView, in turn, is linked to GEA's Dairy Management System 21and CowView software. For CowView, each cow wears a transponder that tracks individual activity. The software logs time spent in the freestall, at the bunk and in alleys, along with distances covered. The information gathered can then be used to assess cow health and estrus. Information can be read by computer, tablet or smartphone. GEA has not disclosed the purchase price of the DairyProQ system. It hopes to have a prototype installed and operating on a farm by the end of this year. Delaval's 24-stall rotary DeLaval is currently testing four rotaries equipped with robotic milkers. Two of the rotaries are in Australia, and two are in Sweden. DeLaval hopes to have its first North American installation in the first half of 2014, says Christian Poggensee, regional president for North America. "The challenge isn't so much the technology. But we need to learn how to merge the concept of automated milking with the rotary parlor," he says. DeLaval's prototype uses just two robotic arms to attach milker units. These arms, along with two other robots used for premilking teat sanitation, are located on the inside of the rotary circle. DeLaval has also sold its first commercial automated milking rotary to a farm in Germany, the company announced at this past fall's EuroTier. No terms were disclosed. —Wilfried Wesselink and Jim Dickrell Back to news

The arts of Zen are not intended for utilitarian
purposes, or for purely aesthetic enjoyment, but
are meant to train the mind, indeed, to bring it into
contact with ultimate reality.
D.T. Suzuki
There has been a long and dynamic history of Zen and the arts throughout time.
Zen Priests, monks, and lay practitioners have turned to the arts to not only
express their understanding of Buddhist teaching beyond words, but as a way
to have direct experience and intimacy with all things. Art then becomes one
of the many Dharma gates allowing us the complete expression of our perfection.
The purpose of the Zen and the Arts program is to cultivate a closer relationship
between art and our spiritual life. Its form does not rely on Buddhist imagery
or classic styles of Zen art. It is not a way of playing around with Zen ideas, nor
a way to improve our skills. It is a way to live spontaneously and authentically,
penetrating truth as it is. Art then becomes an "artless art" of understanding
ourselves and the nature of reality using body, mind, heart, breath and energy.

I don't have time to give this a really good listen (nor provide the details you're asking for). Overall, I think it sounds fine, but if this was something I was mixing/mastering, the two things I'd change:- The kick is a little mushy. This is likely by design though.- The hihat sound that is brought in front and centre starting at 3:20 quickly grates my ears, especially when its accompanied by another at 3:54.
On which speakers you have listened to the track?
So Tomas...a week has passed......what was the purpose of this? Did it answer anything for you?
Quote from: Julio Di Benedetto on August 17, 2014, 08:07:47 PMSo Tomas...a week has passed......what was the purpose of this? Did it answer anything for you?Hey Julio,I will explain more soon :-) Still in the middle of some additional tests.BTW: Instead of fighting in other threads, particular this one would be something for my audiophile friends CCT / Ekstasis to participate and share their opinion. But nope
.just silence!Greetings,Tomas
Can't partake as I'm a 'headphone-ist', I shall have to take this to the European court of human rights stamps feet and walks away...
Interesting! So, it means you do all your work just with headphones?
QuoteInteresting! So, it means you do all your work just with headphones?Yes, I haven't used speakers to monitor or mix since 2003. I've listened to music primarily on phones all my life and I've now adapted to using them all time. I know conventional wisdom says that 'you can't mix on phones', but (for me) I much prefer the whole headphone 'experience'.
I too use headphones for everything (my studio is not the shape or size to use my speakers properly)...There was a radio programme recently that explored the shift in radio listening from headphones to speakers, describing how people stepped away from purposeful, intense and personal listening to shared experience and doing other things such as eating - making the music a secondary element of the experience.People even danced to it which they could not with the headsets.....Back to subject - it can be hard to get things right, but I use the approach that I make it as good as I can on my headphones, then accept that it will generally sound different on every other sound source.I use Grado SR 325's to record and mix, then Beyerdynamic DT931's to see how it might sound on hi-fi's, then on smaller sennheiser headphones for more general sound.....

Basement application
I have a basement that is finished and the floor has asbestos tile on it which is expensive to get up but is ok if left alone. We also have linoleum over the top of that in a couple of rooms which has asbestos in it too. We have had laminate and carpet on it until the recent flooding that happened a couple of weeks ago. We want to put down a floor that will handle occasional seepage from heavy rains. Will the avaire work in my situation if i silicone caulk around the edges to keep the water out? The amout of water was about an 1/8" to 1/4". Would the grout hold the water till I can vacuum it up.
We normally don't have a problem with seepage but we had 17.8" of rain in less than a 48 hr. peroid.
