Of the various expressions of right-wing hysteria that have flowered over the past three yearsgoldbuggery, birtherism, death panels at home and imaginary apology tours by President Obama abroadperhaps the strain that has taken deepest root within mainstream Republican circles is the terror that the achievements of the Obama administration may be irreversible, and that the time remaining to stop permanent nightfall is dwindling away.
America is approaching a tipping point' beyond which the Nation will be unable to change course, announces the dark, old-timey preamble to Paul Ryan's The Roadmap Plan, a statement of fiscal principles that shaped the budget outline approved last spring by 98 percent of the House Republican caucus. Rick Santorum warns his audiences, We are reaching a tipping point, folks, when those who pay are the minority and those who receive are the majority. Even such a sober figure as Mitt Romney regularly says things like We are only inches away from no longer being a free economy, and that this election could be our last chance.
The Republican Party is in the grips of many fever dreams. But this is not one of them. To be sure, the apocalyptic ideological analysisthat freedom is incompatible with Clinton-era tax rates and Massachusetts-style health careis pure crazy. But the panicked strategic analysis, and the sense of urgency it gives rise to, is actually quite sound. The modern GOPthe party of Nixon, Reagan, and both Bushesis staring down its own demographic extinction. Right-wing warnings of impending tyranny express, in hyperbolic form, well-grounded dread: that conservative America will soon come to be dominated, in a semi-permanent fashion, by an ascendant Democratic coalition hostile to its outlook and interests. And this impending doom has colored the party's frantic, fearful response to the Obama presidency.
The GOP has reason to be scared. Obama's election was the vindication of a prediction made several years before by journalist John Judis and political scientist Ruy Teixeira in their 2002 book, The Emerging Democratic Majority. Despite the fact that George W. Bush then occupied the White House, Judis and Teixeira argued that demographic and political trends were converging in such a way as to form a natural-majority coalition for Democrats.
The Republican Party had increasingly found itself confined to white voters, especially those lacking a college degree and rural whites who, as Obama awkwardly put it in 2008, tend to cling to guns or religion. Meanwhile, the Democrats had increased their standing among whites with graduate degrees, particularly the growing share of secular whites, and remained dominant among racial minorities. As a whole, Judis and Teixeira noted, the electorate was growing both somewhat better educated and dramatically less white, making every successive election less favorable for the GOP. And the trends were even more striking in some key swing states. Judis and Teixeira highlighted Colorado, Nevada, and Arizona, with skyrocketing Latino populations, and Virginia and North Carolina, with their influx of college-educated whites, as the most fertile grounds for the expanding Democratic base.
Obama's victory carried out the blueprint. Campaign reporters cast the election as a triumph of Obama's inspirational message and cutting-edge organization, but above all his sweeping win reflected simple demography. Every year, the nonwhite proportion of the electorate grows by about half a percentage pointmeaning that in every presidential election, the minority share of the vote increases by 2 percent, a huge amount in a closely divided country. One measure of how thoroughly the electorate had changed by the time of Obama's election was that, if college-educated whites, working-class whites, and minorities had cast the same proportion of the votes in 1988 as they did in 2008, Michael Dukakis would have, just barely, won. By 2020just eight years awaynonwhite voters should rise from a quarter of the 2008 electorate to one third. In 30 years, nonwhites will outnumber whites.
Now, there are two points to keep in mind about the emerging Democratic majority. The first is that no coalition is permanent. One party can build a majority, but eventually the minority learns to adapt to an altered landscape, and parity returns. In 1969, Kevin Phillips, then an obscure Nixon-administration staffer, wrote The Emerging Republican Majority, arguing that Republicans could undo FDR's New Deal coalition by exploiting urban strife, the unpopularity of welfare, and the civil-rights struggle to pull blue-collar whites into a new conservative bloc. The result was the modern GOP. Bill Clinton appropriated some elements of this conservative coalition by rehabilitating his party's image on welfare and crime (though he had a little help from Ross Perot, too). But it wasn't until Obama was elected that a Democratic president could claim to be the leader of a true majority party.

The man who sold his Southern California home to "Octomom" Nadya Suleman said Sunday that she has until Friday to make a long-overdue payment.
Amer Haddadin said he'll evict Suleman if she and her lawyer Jeff Czech don't pay the $450,000 balance on the house by Friday. A balloon payment was due Oct. 9.
"I think they have money, but they are hiding the money," Haddadin said.
Suleman and Czech were served notice on Dec. 2 by mail and by hand, Haddadin said.
Suleman and her 14 children have lived in the 4-bedroom house for nearly two years, ever since she brought her octuplets home to the quiet cul-de-sac in La Habra, about 25 miles east of Los Angeles. Her father purchased the home for $565,000, including a $130,000 down payment.
Suleman's father, Ed Doud, cut a deal with Haddadin for the house because a traditional bank loan wasn't available to Suleman, who is unmarried and unemployed. She previously lived with her mother in a small Whittier home before that house was foreclosed on.
In April, Haddadin granted a six-month extension on the remaining balance, and said that as a Jordanian, he took pity on a fellow Arab in a tough spot, and pledged to help Doud, who is Palestinian.
Haddadin said Czech and Suleman became joint owners of the house in August, after her father transferred the deed from his name.
Reached by The Associated Press by phone Sunday, Czech said he had no immediate comment except that Suleman has been making $4,000 payments every month.

The aim of the Food Teacher Professional Portfolio (FTPP) was to enable food teachers, at all stages of their careers, to audit, plan, organise and record their professional development.
The programme formally started in January 2016 and ended in July 2018.
Nearly 2,300 HLTAs, trainee, new and more experienced teachers of secondary food and nutrition registered for the programme (exceeding the original target of 2,000) and a wide range of experiences and levels of knowledge and skills were represented.
9 out of 10 teachers who responded to the end of programme survey said that they were more confident and competent to teach secondary food and nutrition due to being engaged with the FTPP programme.

Finally Friday! I sure am looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow!
For breakfast, I ate light toast with PB (x2) and 1/2 of a banana, sliced. I also had skim milk.
I drank coffee with FF vanilla creamer while working job #1.
And snacked on a light cheese stick on my break.
For lunch, I made an egg white omelet with ham and cheese along with light waffles topped with SF syrup and Brummel & Brown. What can I say, this looked like a face to me, so I added eyes.
I also had a side of fresh raspberries. These have been spectacular. I often shop at Aldi and their produce can be a little…iffy. But I bought these at HyVee and they are just superb. I can't believe the difference. So fresh and flavorful.
After lunch, I got started on working job #2. I worked for about an hour and decided to stop for the day. I was starting to feel sicker again…ugh.
I ate a snack of peanuts and candy corn. Not something I eat often, but it was good!
I think that not feeling well made me want to eat. I also ate some of these caramel corn puff things that hubby picked up at the apple orchard.
I finally just decided to go to bed and rest, hoping to feel better. After a couple of hours I felt less tired, but still felt like I do when I am coming down with something, even though I've had something for like a month now and thought I was finally on the mend again…BLAH!
But resting kept me out of the cupboards and trying to find comfort in food. Mission accomplished. Albeit, I felt like a lazy bum and it made me slightly grumpy and agitated. Sorry hubby!
For supper, we had grilled chicken, butternut squash, and a side salad with lettuce, tomato, a sprinkling of cheese and lite blue cheese dressing.
I decided to experiment by making brownies out of the box and substituting unsweetened applesauce for the oil. They were very good! Only a little under 3 points too. Not too bad!
I could definitely get by with serving those to guests for dessert. I don't think anyone would notice!
A little too much "junk" food today. That's what happens when I don't feel well I guess. I'll take note of that for next time.
Why is it that some of us think that food will make everything all better? Food really does offer comfort. Not lasting comfort, but that's why we all bring food to people who are mourning, for example. But some of us use food as a crutch far too often. My habits have changed from what they used to be, but old habits die hard.
I'm super frustrated because I am signed up for a 5K next weekend and haven't run in forever. Lack of motivation over the summer combined with excessive heat kept me from getting my butt out there.
And now this fall, I've been sick and dealing with asthma/allergies and don't want to risk making things worse. It makes me so angry with myself. I told hubby that I'm trying to just think of the 5K as an opportunity to be active and have fun. Who cares if I can't run all of it, or ANY of it. I could WALK it, for goodness sakes. Being ACTIVE in any way is better than just sitting on the couch doing nothing.
But I can't help but feel like a failure…having had plans to train for this thing and haven't done a thing. I think that's part of what's bothering me tonight. *sigh*
And my ears hurt. There's pressure in my head and I keep coughing. My teeth hurt, for goodness sakes. Ok, enough complaining…things could always be worse.
I hope I can cheer up
tomorrow tonight!

Based off of the book written by 13-year-old Naoki Higashida, Jerry Rothwell's The Reason I Jump aims to translate the experiences of non-verbal autistic people in a way that is honest and multifaceted. Choosing not to simply concede to the opinions of parents and specialists, the documentary aims to break the assumption that divergent ways of experiencing the world are not abnormal, and communication can transcend language and actions. Editor David Charap speaks to the unique experience of having a nonverbal group of individuals explain the intricacies of their everyday lives to an audience through imagery and imagination.

A New Jersey man was in critical condition today after repeatedly stabbing himself with a 12-inch knife and throwing his intestines at police.
HACKENSACK, N.J. — A New Jersey man was in critical condition today after repeatedly stabbing himself with a 12-inch knife and throwing his intestines at cops.
Wayne Carter, who has a history of psychiatric problems, had barricaded himself inside his Hackensack, N.J., home when the gruesome event took place late Sunday, The Record reported Tuesday.
Police were called to the house after the 43-year-old was spotted cutting himself with the knife.
When they arrived at the scene, Carter refused to drop the weapon and began waving it — along with a hammer — at the officers. He then repeatedly stabbed himself in the legs, abdomen and neck.
Hackensack Police Lt. Timothy Lloyd told the Cliffview Pilot, "They tried to talk him down, but they were having no luck. He was slashing at them with the knife."
When he began throwing pieces of skin and intestines at the officers, they called in the Bergen County Police Department's SWAT team, Lloyd said.
By the time they arrived, Carter's intestines were "literally" hanging out of his body, an unnamed police official told the Pilot.
"The scene was a bloody mess," the official said. "The SWAT team members had to be decontaminated due to the amount of blood."
Carter was eventually disarmed after being sprayed with two cans of pepper spray and was rushed to the hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery early Monday.

Blue eyes mixtape
I got some [pause] in my soul
Blue eyes, collect this mixtape, lil b, very rare
Make sure you download my new gold house
Download my new gold house mixtape, coming right after this
As my soul burns slow
And the ashes from my blunt keep my thoughts all froze
How I make it this far in the pad then the road?
How I walking every day when my boy's casket closed?
What I deserve to be here?
With this stress upon my mind but music free the land
I can't stop
That's before the push or after?
My head right, my heart right, I'm ready for the war
I'm not playing the talk like most other niggas
And don't walk like them sucka niggas
I got the game fucked up, I think I love a stripper
But off gp bitch, I'd never tip her
And you seen me on top
A few close ones gon be with me when I drop
My life is a daily watch
Just bought a new home
But I don't feel that home
Why you let your baby roam
When they feel grown?
I know I got your back, that's why you feel this song
Long nights niggas put me on the back burner
How I'm finna eat? How I'm finna sleep?
How I'm finna get minds in the better space?
Top floor penthouse, that's a better place
Pistols coming out the wall, you just press the 8
Buttons on front of the door in case you niggas break
In, I'm waiting, the day ends, when they in, nobody wins
When I lose, I'm turning on the tv
Wouldn't play it in my shoes
Your love life, well bitch, respect what I do
Real friends beat the test to find you
From your past that was left behind you
I can't see through the lights but I'm next in line to
Grind too, grind so hard, I'm... The rhyme...

There is not a whole lot I can say about this character since it is just a non-talking dog from the movie "Nightmare Before Christmas". This is Zero, Zero belongs to Jack Skellington and even though he can't talk, he can still give off some facial expressions when he thinks things are wrong, and when he is happy. Jack uses Zero like Santa used Rudolph to guide his sleigh. Zero is a happy pooch that loves everybody, but from what I understand he also has a mean streak. This tutorial will show you "how to draw Zero easy", step by step. You will be surprised at how simple this lesson is. Making any type of character in an easy form can be complex for me, but turn out easy for the person that follows the tutorial. I will be back with some more tuts for you all so stay tuned in to see who or what they will be on. Peace out and "stay Zero".

Why, when the sun is beating down and the weather is hot, would you consider layering in the summer? Well, for one, it's a lot more stylish than, say, daisy dukes and a tube top. Second, it's one of the hottest trends for the 2012 season, and third, you never know when you'll be blasted by a too- cold AC at a bar, restaurant, office, or movie theater.
The key to layering up for hot weather is to keep it light and play with proportion, putting shorter layers under longer and wearing heels to boost your overall length. Take inspiration from the spring runways with these layering tips.

The legal machinations between Apple and Open Computer maker Psystar have been going on for several months now. Apple got in a good shot with its response to antitrust allegations, and now Psystar is readying the next salvo. According to the most recent filing (the actual counterclaim requires PACER access) as seen by Ars Technica, Psystar is seeking to amend its counterclaim against Apple in order to include new arguments about why Psystar should be allowed to sell its products.
Psystar's revision of its claim isn't particularly surprising given Judge William Alsup's recent ruling against most of Psystar's antitrust claims. Psystar is dropping its antitrust claims altogether and is once again going after Apple on copyright grounds. Specifically, Psystar is alleging that Apple is guilty of "copyright misuse" related to the OS X EULA and the DMCA, meaning that the company is trying to improperly increase the scope of its copyright. A finding of copyright misuse would prevent Apple from enforcing its copyright, which is exactly what Psystar wants.
The section of the OS X EULA saying that the operating system can only be used with Apple hardware is cited as one way Apple expands its copyright. Psystar is also accusing Apple of abusing the DMCA in order to misuse copyright, an argument that revolves around whether the current protection for OS X is a "technological copyright protection measure" or not. The new claim does offer a bit of a different perspective on things, but the judge hasn't exactly been receptive to Psystar's arguments thus far. It's unclear that this new argument will play any better in court, especially since it relies on case law. We'll have to wait until January to see what the judge thinks, but we'll keep you updated on any developments between now and then.

This could make a good segment on wingnut on wingnut crime. Right wing loon Dana Loesch — truly one of the most vile voices on the right, rivaling Ann Coulter — is suing Breitbart.com, demanding that she be released from her contract and given $75,000 for not publishing her stuff and not allowing her to publish it elsewhere either.
Conservative talk radio host and commentator Dana Loesch sued the owner of the conservative website Breitbart.com Friday, claiming that although her relationship with the news and opinion aggregating website had gone "tragically awry," Breibart.cοm LLC refused to let her work for the company or anyone else, forcing her into "indentured servitude in limbo."
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court here, seeks at least $75,000 in damages, as well as a judge's declaration that her contract had expired.
The suit says that difficulties managing the Breitbart "media 'empire'" or ideological conflicts or both had spiked the working relationship, creating a "increasingly hostile" work environment. When Loesch tried to terminate her work agreement in September, Breitbart refused and extended the agreement by a year, the suit says.
Yummy. Pass the popcorn.

it's PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE NEWS 26 Once her nine-year-old has left for school, Joann pours a second cup of coffee and settles down with her copy in her sunny kitchen in Willowdale, Canada. Jim, Joann's husband, is in the Toronto Office of DPH&S. John reads his copy as he waits for his wife in the shopping center in Pasa-dena, California. John is a principal in the H&S Los Angeles Office. Linda reads hers on the sands of Con-dado Beach, Puerto Rico. She works as a secretary for H&S, San Juan. What are they reading? Newsletters. In Toronto, its called For Your Info. In Los Angeles, there are two: Review Notes, a quarterly, and The Ledger, a bi-weekly. In San Juan Saludas de H.&S. San Juan is the name. Joann reads her copy right through— from beginning to end. Even though she doesn't know all the people the newsletter mentions, she gets a chance to find out what's happening in her husband's office. John turns to the "Sports in Review" column to see what's new in the Lo-Ball Golf Asso-ciation. Who captured low gross aver-age this time around? A picnic is com-ing up for the San Juan Office. Linda checks the newsletter for the details. The names — Joann, Jim, John and Linda — are fictitious. But the places and the newsletters are not. Incidents like these occur all the time, according to what thirteen H&S offices have told H&S Reports about their newsletters. Maybe your office is publishing a newsletter. Maybe you are considering the possibility. Or maybe you hadn't seriously taken up the idea. In any event, experience proves that a news-letter can be fun—fun to read and not bad fun to put together. An office pub-lication offers something to H&S people and their families that they can get in no other way—not by newspaper, TV or magazine because it tells them news of their own particular office and Firm. No bulletin board can offer such a full record of matters of interest. And San Juan reports another advantage of a newsletter: less memo sending. Keith Dorricott, editor in the Cana-dian Head Office of DPH&S, says of For Your Info.: "Many people like the humorous parts. It entertains as well as informs." Duane Whitmarsh, editor of Houston Highlights, Says the office newsletter contributes to "high morale and team spirit." And the Philadelphia Office says its 'Newsline Seventy offers better infra-office communications. Possibly the granddaddy of all H&S newsletters (first published in 1951 and then called 1620 News), Erie-Views in Cleveland gets an enthusiastic reception not only from staff and their families, but especially from H&S mem-bers in the armed forces. For those offices ready to start a newsletter, with the blessing of their partners in charge, a good first step is to make contact with people in other offices that already have them. By get-ting your name on their mailing lists, you can see what others are doing. Those already in full-steam-ahead newsletter production may also find such an exchange can be helpful. News- letters outside the Firm should not be overlooked. Maybe a friend receives a swinging publication that has a feature or a format which will give you ideas. An office newsletter should meet the needs of that office. The San Juan Of-fice, for instance, publishes a bi-lingual newsletter; one column of each page is in English, the other in Spanish. San Juan's needs are unique. The editorial staff of Carolina Chat-ter (Charlotte Office), sums up its edi-torial policy this way: "We have no specific features for every issue. We print our newsletter strictly for our peo-ple .. .We strive for new ideas for each issue to continue to make our news-letter interesting and appealing for our employees and their families." News of people in the Firm and of their families is always good reading. It helps to know about new people on the staff. And who's engaged. Who was just married? What about transfers to other offices, alumni, former office members on foreign assignments? Several offices report the success of such articles. Catherine Pitcock, edi-tor of the Financial Department (EO) Financially Speaking, says that the reg-ular feature covering such events as engagements and weddings is one of the first things that the people in the department look at. Then there are after-work activities. It may surprise readers to learn that someone in the office races his Porsche every possible Sunday on. the sands of Bridgehampton, Long Island. Or that one of the tax men has a Yorkshire ter-

ugen0: Canon Inc. PowerShot S40, rev 1.10/0.01, addr 2
The ugen driver provides support for all USB devices that do not have a special driver, according to its man page. Running usbdevs showed the camera connected to the laptop:
sudo usbdevs -dv
Controller /dev/usb0:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000),
Intel(0x0000), rev 1.00
port 1 addr 2: full speed, self powered, config 1,
PowerShot S40(0x3056), Canon Inc.(0x04a9), rev 0.01
port 2 powered
Unfortunately, I did not see the dymanic creation of a device like /dev/da0 that might have let me mount the camera and read files from it. (The problem was discussed in this thread.) I turned to the ports tree and found graphics/gphoto2, which I installed as a package:
orr:/home/richard$ sudo pkg_add -vr gphoto2
When done I followed the Gphoto2 documentation. First I checked for available ports:
orr:/home/richard$ gphoto2 --list-ports
Loading camera drivers from '/usr/lo... | \ 2.0%
Devices found: 1
Path Description
usb: Universal Serial Bus
Next I searched for cameras. I found that I needed to run some of these commands as root using sudo:
orr:/home/richard$ sudo gphoto2 --auto-detect
Loading camera drivers from '/usr/lo... | \ 2.0%
Model Port
Canon PowerShot S40 usb:
Once I found the camera I discovered what Gphoto2 thought of it:
orr:/home/richard$ sudo gphoto2 --summary
Loading camera drivers from '/usr/lo... | \ 2.0%
Detected a 'Canon:PowerShot S40'.
Camera summary:

Now I could find files on the camera:
orr:/home/richard$ sudo gphoto2 --list-files
Loading camera drivers from '/usr/lo... | \ 2.0%
Detected a 'Canon:PowerShot S40'.
There are no files in folder '/'.

There are no files in folder '/DCIM/CANONMSC'.
When I found a file I wanted, I retrieved it:
orr:/home/richard$ sudo gphoto2 --get-file 38-39

After the files were downloaded to my laptop I was able to manipulate them using my preferred file editing programs. I removed the USB cable from the laptop and got this message from the kernel:

ugen0: detached
There's a graphical application for Gphoto2 called Gtkam but I got errors in the pango library when I tried to use it.

I have two pieces of excellent news for you. First, this work of art, "There's No Place Like Home," can be yours for only $1,000. A thousand bucks! What a bargain for this "beautiful hand painted mural by and up and coming local artist." You can't just walk into the Musee d'Orsay and take home a Gauguin, but you can have this in your fricking living room tomorrow, for less than a month's worth of trips to the packie.
Here's the second part of the good news. That $1,000? I know it's hard to believe, but the artist says it might be negotiable.
[Craigslist, h/t Ben]

Pond & Lake Q & A
Q: I would really like to have a fountain in my pond and I know I need aeration. Will a fountain aerate my pond? – Nathan of Florida
A: Having a fountain in your pond is a great way to add tranquility to your home. To sit out on the deck and see a beautiful fountain display as well as hear that relaxing sound of water. What more could you ask for? Many people are drawn to a fountain's show-stopping appeal, but will they aerate a pond as well? The answer to this really depends on a couple factors: the pond's depth and the type of fountain pattern the fountain is using.
Pond's Depth: Fountains can be great aerators when the pond is less than 6′ of depth. The reason for this is because the best way to aerate is to circulate the whole body of water at the same time. A fountain will only draw water from the top of the water column, which is water that already contains oxygen from the air to water oxygen transfer. The pond's bottom will remain untouched if it is deeper than 6′. If your pond is less than 6′ deep, then all you have to worry about is the spray pattern.
Fountain Spray Pattern: The spray pattern of a fountain makes a huge difference in how much aeration is produced. Usually the more decorative the spray pattern, the less likely it is to aerate your pond properly. This is because more energy is spent on creating the decorative pattern than there is moving the water. The best spray pattern to use for a fountain is a "V" patterned fountain like the picture above
If your pond is deeper than 6′ of depth, than the best method of aeration would be an Airmax® Aeration System. The Airmax® Aeration System diffuser will pump air down to the bottom of the pond, and the resulting column of rising bubbles lifts and aerates the water. By starting from the bottom, up, this will ensure that the whole body of water is properly circulated as well as aerated.

EA NHL 14 to feature 1994 anniversary modeNHL.com @NHLdotcom
It looks like featuring legendary New Jersey Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur on the cover won't be the only nod to hockey history in EA's NHL 14 video game. To mark the 20th anniversary of the release of the iconic NHL 94 title, EA will feature a special anniversary mode in the latest installment of their best-selling hockey game.
EA Sports' NHL 14 will feature a special
anniversary mode for their 20th release. (Click to enlarge)
Courtesy: EA Sports
That means gamers will have the option of enjoying the latest and greatest installment of EA's game with a little retro flair. By choosing to play in anniversary mode, players will be able to enjoy all the minimalist features that made NHL 94 one of the most iconic sports titles in video-game history.
That means no penalties or offsides, and the return of classic viewing angles and other nuances that were abandoned when the NHL series became more advanced. Even the simpler button controls from NHL 94 will be at players' disposal, along with throwback organ music and other special features. It's the perfect homage to the classic game that helped lay the foundation for one of the world's top sports-gaming franchises.
EA's announcement regarding the NHL 94 anniversary mode comes after Brodeur was unveiled as the player who would be featured on the cover in the latest installment of the game. Brodeur was the winner in a vote conducted online that started with 60 NHL players and generated more than 22 million votes.
NHL 14 will be available Sept. 10 in North America and worldwide Sept. 13.

Georgian-Style Architecture
If Colonial-style architecture gets its name from homes built by colonists, what's the origin of the term Georgian-style architecture? Georgian refers to styles that were popular from during the reigns of four British monarchs: George I, George II, George III (who was king during the American Revolution), and George IV. In all, they ruled from 1714 to 1830.
English architecture at the time was inspired by the classicism of ancient Greece and Rome. A fascination with concepts such as geometry and proportion led to a desire for symmetry in home design; that desire spread to the New World via books about architecture.
Architects: Elissa Morgante and Fred Wilson
Interior design: Suzanne Kipp
See examples of Colonial-style homes and their many variations, including Georgian.
Georgian Style Today
In the United States, the original fascination with Georgian-style architecture lasted until about 1780. Georgian Revival architecture emerged during the early 20th century and remained popular through the 1950s. Earlier versions were elaborate and detailed; later ones—built for large residential developments—tended to be more modest. Today, architects and builders continue to be inspired by Georgian-style architecture, using its beautiful proportions and classic details as a starting point for house plans that suit today's lifestyles.
Early Georgian: Plain Yet Dignified
Georgian-style architecture is divided into three periods: Early Georgian, Middle Georgian, and Late Georgian.
Early Georgian houses were usually one- or- two-story rectangular boxes, two rooms deep, with windows arranged in strict symmetry. Paneled entry doors were placed atop a raised step, with a simple wood pediment above. Most Georgian houses in New England were frame, but elsewhere in the United States they were sometimes built of brick and occasionally stone.
Middle Georgian: Refined and Stylish
Middle Georgian homes were two or three stories high, with more refined proportions than earlier versions. Pediments were pushed out and supported by columns to create covered entries. Homes were built of masonry, timber, and sometimes stone. Palladian windows, elliptical windows, and round-headed windows came into play.
Pictured: This brick Georgian-style home in the South has matching end chimneys to help dissipate the heat. The arched center dormer features a Palladian window.
Late Georgian: Elegantly Embellished
Late Georgian architecture (sometimes referred to as Federal-style) boasted even more robust ornamentation. On this building, for example, the cornice is embellished with dentil molding, the windows are topped with keystone lintels, the levels are divided by belt coursing, and the front door is marked by an elaborate "broken" pediment supported by decorative pilasters.
See the next slides to better understand Georgian roofing styles and other key features.
Side-Gabled Roofs
Unlike the early Colonial-style homes, few of which survive today, many original Georgian-style homes still exist. Of the surviving examples, about 40 percent have side-gabled roofs (like the one on the modern-day Georgian home pictured here).
Architect: Ken Tate
Gambrel Roofs
About one-quarter of the surviving Georgian homes feature gambrel roofs. A gambrel roof is one in which each roof surface has two different slopes, with the lower slope pitched more steeply than the upper one. Gambrel roofs may or may not have gables at the ends. A gambrel roof without gables is also known as a mansard roof.
Pictured: This Georgian-style home's gambrel roof has five dormers to bring plenty of light into the attic.
Hipped Roofs
Another quarter of surviving Georgian homes have hipped roofs, which means the roof slopes down toward the walls on all sides of the house, with no gables.
Check out this 1743 Georgian home's formal gardens.
Garden design: Ben Lenhardt
Front-Centered Gables
The remaining 10 percent of original Georgian houses have roofs with gables centered on the front of the house.
Elegant Brickwork
Many of the later Georgian homes boast exquisite brickwork accentuated with wide joints of white mortar. One of the more interesting brick patterns is known as the Flemish bond. This arrangement alternates the short sides (or "headers") of the bricks with the long sides ("stretchers"), as shown in this Georgian home built in 1936 in Los Angeles.
Pictured: Originally built for a founder of UCLA, this Georgian Revival home was extensively remodeled by its latest owners, Kristi and Bill Frack. The Fracks finished the house to look as it would have originally appeared. "Design is about reflecting who you are, but it's also about reflecting the context," Kristi says. "Older houses have a soul. You have to look for that and listen to it."

Interior design: Kristi M. Nelson
Stately Entries
Whether sided in clapboard or brick, Georgian-style homes typically boast formal front entries that make a visual statement easily noticed from the street. Paneled wood doors are centered on the front of the house and topped with a decorative crown, called a pediment, supported by pilasters. Sometimes, as shown here, the pediment is brought forward and supported by columns to create a covered porch.
Pictured: This pediment is embellished with dentil molding—a type of trim made of small toothlike blocks.
Balanced Window Display
Windows in Georgian-style homes are typically aligned both horizontally and vertically. (In the home pictured here, note how even the dormer windows are aligned with the windows on the front wall of the house.) Earlier Georgian examples have double-hung windows constructed with many small panes of glass: usually nine or 12 panes per sash. As glass became more available, windows were constructed with fewer—but larger—panes of glass.
Pictured: This home has common Georgian "nine-over-nine" windows on the ground floor: nine panes in both the top and bottom sash of each window. The next slide shows eight-over-eight windows.
Georgian-Style Home, St. Louis
This 1922 home's original architecture inspired its sensitive restoration. "Seldom do you have the honor to work on a house like this with such beautiful bones," says interior designer Marshall Watson.

Georgian Revival Home, California
When Eric and Erin Fish purchased their 1890 Georgian Revival home in Marin County, California, they knew the home had an awkward layout. "It just didn't flow the way a family home needs to today," Erin says. So the couple hired Wendy Posard, an architectural and interior designer with an affinity for classical architecture, to take the house down to its foundation. Staying within the footprint, Posard designed a 6,000-square-foot Georgian Revival home that honored the architecture of the original.
See more exterior details on the next two slides.
Architectural and interior design: Wendy Posard
Landscape architect: Warren Simmonds
Classic Portico
This rebuilt home's Georgian Revival style nods to the original structure's design. Exterior walls are lined with tall windows, for example, and the floor plan puts a dining room and living room on either side of a central staircase foyer. In this view, multipaned French doors in the master bedroom open to a small balcony above the entry porch.
Architectural and interior design: Wendy Posard
Landscape architect: Warren Simmonds
Outdoor Patio
Several sets of French doors connect the living room to a patio and an outdoor fireplace made of stone. Adults can sit on the patio or in the living room and watch children splashing around in the pool (not shown).
See how this home's gracious interiors pay homage to the past.

Georgian-Style Pool House, Michigan
Homeowners Kappy and Dave Trott enjoy a pool house that repeats details from their Georgian Revival home: a brick exterior, a hipped roof, and classic white columns. "We wanted this building to be a little bit charming…in the spirit of the main house," architect Victor Saroki says.

Georgian-Style Home, Chicago
Suzanne and Dan Kipp had no plans to move, but then they found a classic example of Georgian architecture on a corner lot, and it cast a spell on them. Their renovation preserved the home as a snapshot of architectural history while making it suitable for modern family life. "Instead of getting rid of this home and all of its classic elements, we brought it back to life," Suzanne says.

Georgian-Style Home, Atlanta
Nicole and Neil Metzheiser immediately fell for this 1918 Georgian-style home's graceful proportions and classic details, but they knew a major renovation was still needed. Working with architect Tim Adams, the couple updated the century-old home to add warmth and charm. "Our goal was to maintain the character of the old home," Adams says, "so we kept the wavy-glass windows and maximized the insulation in other ways—in the walls and floors, and reworking the HVAC system."

Muscle stretching can be a useful tool in improving joint health and restoring musculoskeletal balance, but far too many people who come to my clinic cannot distinguish between beneficial stretching from stretching that is either harmful or unnecessary. Today's blog will hopefully dispel some myths that you might have about stretching and give you some ideas as to how you might incorporate stretching into your routine.
A common misconception about stretching is that it is absolutely necessary to do prior to exercising or playing a sport. Last week I went to see the Washington Redskins play the New England Patriots. Many of the players were engaged in lengthy warm-up routines on the field prior to the game. What was interesting to note was that many of these players skipped stretching, they were simply jogging and performing maneuvers at half-pace. This "warming up" is consistent with clinical research.
"The basic science literature supports the epidemiologic evidence that stretching before exercise does not reduce the risk of injury."1
It has been shown that simply riding a stationary bicycle, or "getting the blood moving" has the same effect as stretching does in terms of injury prevention.
Not only is stretching at times not necessary, but it can also be abused. People who spend inordinate amounts of time stretching have the potential to lengthen the stretched muscle to the point that it actually loses strength, a phenomenon known as "over stretch weakness"2. In the clinic I have seen this in the hamstrings of many yoga students and instructors. My first advice to patients that present with joints and muscles that are too loose and too long, "STOP STRETCHING".
So when is it appropriate to stretch? When a muscle is tight and restricts a joint from performing its normal duty. Let us use for example the popular hamstrings stretch. The most typical way trainers stretch the hamstrings is to lie the client on his or her back and lift the leg up off the floor, with the knee straightened, until a pulling sensation is noted in the back portion of the thigh. Most healthy individuals can obtain at least seventy degrees of lift. Eighty to ninety degrees is considered ideal by many professionals. Most physical therapists would agree that if the patient has considerably less than sixty degrees of hamstrings length, the potential for back pain and other problems is increased.
The take home message is this: if you already have ideal muscle length, there is no pressing need for you to stretch. If your muscles are tight, it behooves you to be evaluated and stretched under the supervision of a professional.

My favorite kitchen gadget – Hand Immersion Blender.
That sounds like a mouthful!
What is it? It is a handheld device that allows you to puree anything in the pot you are preparing it in. Need a soup pureed? Use the immersion blender to puree it in the pot on the stove! Making homemade tomato sauce in the crockpot? Just blend in the crockpot and continue to let it cook!
I realized this was my most essential kitchen tool the other day since I was getting ready to post yet another recipe and noticed "emulsify" was in my directions, and it often is. It occurred to me that I give people directions to emulsify things quite a bit, but I have not explained the tools I use to do so! Well, here she is.
What I love about my immersion blender is that it has two attachments: one for emulsifying, one for whisking. I often use the whisk one surprisingly a lot, since it is a lot easier to make some whipped cream, or nice firm egg whites, versus getting my big monster mixer down out of the cupboard.
Sauces, soups, desserts, frostings, whipped cream… my immersion blender frequently is put to use for these.
Here are a few recipes I have blogged that I rely on my handheld immersion blender for:
Crockpot Tomato Basil Soup
Cauliflower Puree Soup
So, fellow foodies – what is your favorite kitchen gadget? Do you have a handheld immersion blender at home, and do you use it?
Recommendations for your favorite appliances welcome 🙂 I want to hear them!

The man accused of murdering and raping Jill Meagher has been charged with seven new offences.
Adrian Ernest Bayley, 41, appeared on the charges, including three counts of rape, in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday.
He was remanded in custody and will face a committal mention on April 26.
Magistrate Amanda Chambers refused a request by Bayley's lawyers for a suppression order during the court appearance.
Bayley is charged with murdering and raping Ms Meagher, 29, an Irish-born ABC staffer who disappeared from a Melbourne laneway in September last year.
Her body was found several days later.
Ms Meagher's death sparked widespread community reaction, including a walk of 30,000 people in her memory.

We recently heard from Father Mark Lane, a CFCA preacher, who lives in the Brooklyn area and witnessed the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. He provides us this update from the road, as well as pictures of the storm's damage taken by Gerri Hernandez, who gave us permission to share them. (You can see more pictures at this Facebook photo album.)
Two weeks out from Sandy I was at St. Rosalie Parish in Hampton Bays, Long Island, New York.
I was initially a little apprehensive about the appeal, given all that the area has been through with Superstorm Sandy.
Some people were still without power. The parish was a center for aid and relief for the diocese, and there were two appeals for detailed aid during each of the Masses.
I took courage, though, from the pastor ñ a newly ordained ex-IBM marketing executive who was hospitable and supportive ñ and from the first Scripture reading. Elijah asked the widow for food despite knowing that she and her son had only enough for a last meal.
Why? Because he is oblivious to her situation? Egocentric?
I think the key is in the Gospel where Jesus points out the difference between the scribes and rich who give from their surplus and the widow who gives all she has to live on.
The giving Jesus commends to his disciples (and which he will himself live) is total. The more we give, the more we create space to receive. The more we pour ourselves out, the more the Spirit flows in.
It is this spirituality that makes me bold enough, like Elijah, to ask even the poor to help each other ñ or even those who have just suffered through Sandy to help our children and aging friends who live the realities of loss and deprivation, not as exceptions, but as everyday realities.
Like love, generosity is not exhausted in the giving, but renewed. The needs created by Sandy and the needs of CFCA are not in competition, but in fact are complementary calls to that richer and deeper life of practical charity. The parish responded well to both appeals.
NOTE: Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this massive storm. If you are a sponsor affected by Superstorm Sandy or interested in helping sponsors affected, we invite you to consider the CFCA Sponsorship Assistance Fund. The fund was created after Hurricane Katrina to help sponsors in times of crisis continue their sponsorships.

Rush to be first woman to lead Indiana Supreme Court
The first woman to lead the Indiana Supreme Court says she appreciates the vote of confidence and looks forward to a time when having a female chief justice isn't unique.
The Judicial Nominating Commission on Wednesday chose Loretta Rush to succeed Brent Dickson as the high court's leader over fellow justices Mark Massa, Steven David and Robert Rucker.
Dickson announced in June that he would step down as chief justice but remain an associate justice.
Dickson succeeded Randall Shepard as chief justice in 2012. He faces mandatory retirement when he turns 75 in 2016.
Rush is a former Tippecanoe County judge and was appointed by former Gov. Mitch Daniels in 2012. She is the first woman to serve on the state Supreme Court since Myra Selby stepped down in 1999.

1st i never had any "expanding" feet on altitude and i do not know anyone who had.I heard rumoers of one guy having that problem but i think its an exception. i would recommend boots that fit.So i take the size as i would take a normal heavy climbing or hiking boot. Witch is .5 or 1 size bigger then normal b/c off space needed at the toe area. (for going downhill) Keep in mind that the heel must not slip (witch would be the case when to big) b/c that would create a blister problem.2nd socks these days are so good that you could consider wearing 1 pair (i prefer the smartwool mountaineer) but a very thin liner sock could be worn in addition to keep feet more dry and warm.

For my post today I used the brilliant MDF art Puzzle piece. These are such great quality and take paint beautifully.
I also have in my stash the brilliant soft board puzzle so I decided to put on my mixed media hat and combine the 2.
This is what I made
I made a crackle background using acryllic paints and used distress inks on the soft puzzle pieces. This is the undercoat blue which I then crackled
I am back again on Saturday as part of the new challenge DT post please do pop back and see what I made. It's lovely to read your comments too, thanks for your support during July...where on earth has the month gone to!

Two immigrant rights groups are continuing to push Roaring Fork Valley school administrators to develop a new policy on school recource officers after accusing the current school resource officer for that area of helping to arrest immigrants at the same he serves in the schools.
The Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition and the Association of Youth United in Action plan to hold a public forum on the issue Oct. 20 in Carbondale. This will follow a press conference held this week by the three police chiefs in the valley. The chiefs support officer Alvaro Agon and accuse the groups of spreading false information about him. Representatives of the groups were not allowed at that press conference.
The groups have gathered stories from 28 students and parents who complained that Agon was frightening school kids because he was also participating in raids with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The raids ended up with some of their parents being arrested and detained. Agon was a laison between the Carbondale Police Department and ICE but has resigned that position.
Throughout this controversy, Agon has won strong support from his superiors and from some community members for his work as a resource officer.
Re-1 District administrators have not taken any action on the groups' request for a policy change that would keep school resource officers from also taking part in immigration enforcement. Representatives of the groups hope that the stories from students and public sentiment at the forum will help pressure school administrators to develop a new policy.

We, the people, for the global bicycle momentum
"Get a bicycle. You will not regret it. If you live." - Mark Twain
Have you ever wondered what happened to once commonplace items such as the abacus, the slide rule, the hourglass, or the quill; not to mention, VHS recorders, CD cassette players, and more recently, address and telephone books? They all met the same fate: they were replaced by modern technological innovations such as calculators, electronic watches, ballpoint pens, and computers. And what happened to the bicycle? It has been with us for over 200 years, and by some estimates, there are more than two billion bikes in use around the world and by 2050 this number could reach five billion. Over fifty percent of the human population can ride a bike. The bicycle is a veteran and mainstay of human mobility. Even competitive riders pay respect to the utility of bicycles outside grand tours. One of them, Ted King predicted: "Bicycles have the potential to save the world. There's so much that a bicycle can do, from an environmental standpoint, from a health standpoint, and their social impact."
Amid the recent surge in global popularity of cycling - in sport, in leisure and in urban commuting - two presenters of Italian RAI2 radio believe that the Nobel Peace Prize should go to the bicycle. The presenters of the popular Caterpillar program describe bikes as an "instrument of peace". They say the bike "is the most democratic means of transport available to humanity". Proponents have also used the example of Italian cycling champion Gino Bartali, who during World War II ferried counterfeit documents by bike to save Jews, as an example of how the cycle has aided in "liberation and resistance". Additionally, 118 Italian Members of Parliament have also officially nominated the Afghan Cycling Federation women's team for the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize. They hail the bicycle as environmental, economic, and democratic.
In November 2015, the European Cyclists' Federation (ECF), in collaboration with the World Cycling Alliance (WCA), announced their commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and to the UN's Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, who called for voluntary commitments from civil society to tackle climate change. In "Cycling Delivers on the Global Goals" the direct impact of cycling can be demonstrated on at least 11 of the 17 Global Goals. Recent research presented in "A Global High Shift Cycling Scenario" by UC Davis firmly concludes: "The results show that a world with a dramatic increase in cycling could save society $24 trillion cumulatively between 2015 and 2050, and cut CO2 emissions from urban passenger transport by nearly 11% in 2050 compared to a 'High Shift' scenario without a strong cycling emphasis."
The global community of cycling enthusiasts celebrates, even worships, the loyalty of the freedom machine to humanity by organizing events all over the world. However, well- intentioned or -organized, all these remain out of sync with very diversified agendas. After over two centuries of stellar service to humankind, we, the people, believe that the bicycle deserves an official annual World Bicycle Day sanctioned by the United Nations, and preceded by the International Year of Bicycle Awareness and Education of Cycling for All.

Why do I measure low resistance on my Smart-UPS step down transformer?
Published date: 21 September 2018
Browse FAQs
Inductive Reactance occurs when the current flow in a circuit is reduced due to induction. This is a sort of "magnetic Resistance" and it reduces the flow of current in a circuit, appearing as an energy loss just like resistance. Impedance is made up of Inductive Reactance + Resistance.
In an AC circuit the total impedance consists of the resistance of the conductor and the inductive reactance when AC is applied. However the standard Multi Meter will only measure the normal resistance of the conductor. This value is normally quite low and does not take the Inductive Reactance into consideration.
In some of our transformers such as the APTF10KW01 or the APTF20KW01 the resistance value to Earth (Ground) may also appear low. This is due to the fact that the terminals 7 or 8 (Neutral) are tied to earth to create a TN network.
The customer should be made aware that a special meter capable of measuring total impedance should be used to get a correct value. Should an insulation resistance test be necessary, then the link to earth should be removed.
