I've noticed fallacies in the Bible since I was at least seven years old and I see from the various comments that others have too. |

I've read Dan Savage's sex-advice column Savage Love before, and while it is well done, it frequently pushed well past my personal comfort level. I am not a very profane person but I do appreciate those who are versed in the poetic art, and Savage has even pushed it into the realm of politics with santorum [W].
In case he takes the site down at some point, I'm going to archive its content here:
Saddlebacking: sad•dle•back•ing ˈsa-dəl-ˈba-kiŋ vb [fr. Saddleback Church] (2009): the phenomenon of Christian teens engaging in unprotected anal sex in order to preserve their virginities
After attending the Purity Ball, Heather and Bill saddlebacked all night because she's saving herself for marriage. Unfortunately her parents found out because they got santorum all over the sheets.
Savage is also capable of non-political profanity as he did with pegging [W].
No correlation has even been found between exposure to porn and calloused attitudes toward women.
What does correlate highly with sex offense is a strict, repressive religious upbringing. Richard Green too has reported that both rapists and child molesters use less pornography than a control group of "normal" males.
Porn has also driven a fair amount of computer development. The reddit thread has some material both goofy and thoughtful.
Just a recently: I woke up from a dream, then I let my mind wander, and then I realized that I was not likely to go back to sleep. Usually I lay there and try to go back to sleep if it's early enough, but today I've decided to try writing.
First I'm going to write about the kinds of dreams that wake me up. Why first? Because I want to write about it while I'm fresh from sleep. I can't say for sure because I haven't been logging it and therefore have no data collected, but I think I'm waking up more easily these days.
It seems that all I need is a dream that changes my heart rate a bit and that wakes me up. Here are typical dreams that wake me up:
Enough about dreams. Next I wanted to jot down a few notes about general topics of controversy (sex, violence, religion, and politics) and parsing them with simple tools (preferences, consent, and tolerance).
OK, that's enough for now. It's several hours since I woke up. On with my day.

Humana, presenting sponsor of the National Senior Games, is recognizing 13 athletes who each exemplify well-being through their spirit of determination, personal strength and unwavering dedication to their sport as Humana Game Changers.
Today's gonna be my day (uh oh uh oh) Everything's gonna go my way (uh oh uh oh) The world is at my fingertips Lemme sing it to the song coming from my lips It's gonna be O-OK, alright, 'cause We're always living the good life (ooooh) Living the good life (ooooh) Yes we are living the good life We give it all we've got And we don't ever stop (ooooh) Yeah, we're always living the good life We can do anything we want (uh oh uh oh) So let's have a little bit of fun (uh oh uh oh) Gotta move to the groove of a different beat Stand up tall on your own two feet
These athletes are from all over the country and participate in various sports, including triathlon, track and field, tennis, basketball, race walk and pickleball. Humana Game Changers demonstrate how regular physical activity can positively impact overall health and serve as inspiration to live healthier lives.
The National Senior Games will be held in Bloomington/Minneapolis/Saint Paul, Minnesota on July 3-16, 2015.
Read on for more about the Humana Game Changers. Also, please visit www.nsga.com for information about the National Senior Games.
Whether she's taking the stairs instead of the elevator, parking far away from entrances, cutting her own grass or driving 45 minutes to play scrimmage basketball, Edwina Dennis refuses to stop moving. Living by the motto "if you don't move it, you will lose it," the great-grandmother of four and former case worker supervisor casually played in various sports in her younger years but only got into basketball at age 70. She will be competing this year with the Colorado Combos basketball team.
After picking up the javelin for the first time in the spring of 2014 – after watching his grandson at a track meet – John Levy is proof that you can exercise and compete at any age. The retired painter and Mississippi native immediately began training and excelled during his first competition. Despite rotator cuff surgery in September 2014, Levy continues to train and looks forward to his first National Senior Games.
A longtime financial adviser who recently retired, triathlete Pat Lillehei was bit by the competition bug in 2008 after her daughter asked her to ride in a cycling fundraiser for multiple sclerosis. She competed in her first triathlon that same year and has participated in myriad triathlons throughout the country since then, even planning to compete in international events in the near future. Lillehei is excited to compete in triathlon and swimming at the 2015 National Senior Games in her hometown of Minneapolis.
Diagnosed with cardiomyopathy at age 62, John Bates underwent a total lifestyle change that included a vegan diet and competing in various athletic competitions. Following a 2007 collapse on a tennis court, he got very serious about his exercise program. A retired wellness center director, Bates will compete in tennis and triathlon at the 2015 National Senior Games.
Tom Burkhart has been what he refers to as "quasi-athletic" most of his life, playing or coaching a number of sports, including tennis, softball, baseball and basketball. He discovered and became hooked on pickleball in 1980 when he discovered a pickleball set at the middle school where he taught, eventually helping to introduce the sport throughout the region. In addition to serving as pickleball director for the National Senior Games, Burkhart is also the mid-south regional director for the USA Pickleball Association.
Harry Carothers fell in love with basketball as a kid when his father, who played semi-professionally, set up a hoop in the backyard. He played consistently throughout his 28-year Air Force career and now dominates free throw, spot shooting and timed shooting contests in senior competitions across Florida and throughout the country. Carothers, who excels despite playing with an implanted pacemaker for 17 years, will compete in three-on-three basketball with his team, the Clearwater Aces.
After undergoing a complete knee replacement in 2012, Hope Casias viewed getting back in shape and preparing for the 2013 National Senior Games in Cleveland as a "dangling little carrot." She not only worked hard through her therapy but ultimately won a gold medal. Casias will compete this year in volleyball, which she has played for 35 years.
A former Idaho state champion triple jumper in high school, David Fujii continued his interest in track and field by coaching but started to become out of shape due partially to the demands of his 30-year career as an electrical engineer and project manager in the high-tech industry. He got inspired to get back into track and field just a few years ago after accompanying his 83-year-old mother, whom he considers "quite a role model," to her regional and national competitions. David will be competing in the triple jump, long jump, shot put and discus throw.
With a part-time job as a florist, involvement in the local chapter of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International, local YMCA and other organizations and a dedication to competing, Patricia Fujii likes to stay busy and refuses to slow down. Even after being diagnosed with breast cancer, she continued exercising and training, nabbing multiple gold medals at the Idaho Senior Games only a day after her last round of radiation treatment. Fujii, who inspired her son David to get involved in the National Senior Games, is competing in multiple sprint races, the long jump and the triple jump.
Motivated by a desire to keep moving, Donna Gonzales has always been interested in activities – such as Middle Eastern dance and aerobics – that kept her moving. She even briefly had her own exercise segment – before, during and after her pregnancy with her youngest daughter – on local TV in Jackson, Miss. The grandmother of five will be competing in race walking, which she has been doing for nearly 20 years.
Focused on his career as a computer specialist and programmer for the federal government for 31 years, Oscar Peyton did not tap into the speed he possessed until the age of 49. In his first ever organized track meet at the Maryland State Senior Olympics in 2002, he raced – and won – the 100-meter and 200-meter events. He has committed himself to training and getting faster ever since, racking up numerous gold medals. Peyton, with a personal best time just two seconds behind Usain Bolt's, is competing in the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes.
Lorraine Rizzuto played basketball in high school but she did not pick it up again until 1992 – about 40 years later – as a way to stay healthy. She not only plays but actively recruits women throughout the New Orleans region to play for the New Orleans Silver Slammers. Rizzuto will be competing in three-on-three basketball this summer with the Silver Slammers.
Hao-Ming Siu doesn't let age and the possibility of injury slow him down; that is why he tries to keep moving and has regularly participated in marathons for the past 30 years. Siu believes that the National Senior Games give senior athletes an honorable goal to shoot for and is inspired by his older brother Max, who – despite a torn meniscus last year – is also preparing to compete in 2015. Siu will be competing in the 100-meter, 200-meter, 400-meter and 800-meter dashes.

Last month, Scott Kildall and Bryan Cera published a 3D digital model of Surrealist artist Marcel Duchamp's chess kit. The original, hand-carved by Duchamp, is gone—but now anyone with a 3D printer can recreate the artist's kings and rooks at home. As it turns out, this is far from the only piece of great art you can recreate with a 3D printer.
Duchamp's chess set is part of a wider trend on sites like Thingiverse, where 3D printing enthusiasts share blueprints to create objects using their machines. If you have a 3D printer, a lot of 3D printer 'ink', you can make yourself a mini-museum of replicated artwork, spanning centuries, continents, and styles.
The creators of the blueprints allow users to download them, so even if you've purchased a 3D printer but have no idea how to design stuff, you can still amass an impressive mini-art gallery. If you want to do it yourself, Thingiverse is definitely the best place to look. If you'd rather buy your 3D prints, check out a few examples of what Shapeways has to offer below.
Marcel Duchamp's Chess Set
The new 3D-printed set from Kildall and Cera was created from an archival photo of Duchamp's original set.
Michelangelo's David
Image via Shapeways/hellafont
Or you can head to Thingiverse to choose a blueprint of your own, like this one:
Image via Thingiverse/luotinen
Rodin's The Thinker
If you're into hunting down the designs and making them yourself, there's a wide variety of options, from Rodin to the bust of Nefertiti.
Image via Thingiverse/lampmaker
The Venus de Milo by Alexandros of Antioch
Designer Cosmo Wenman attempted to raise money via Kickstarter to offer 3D-printed blueprints for some of the world's most beloved sculptures at the Skulpturhalle Basel in Switzerland. He was unsuccessful at getting backing on the crowdfunding tool (should've gone with the potato salad, dude), he managed to acquire outside funding and is making his way through the Skulpturhalle's casts of Greek and Roman sculptures.
His Venus de Milo is pretty solid:
Image via Thingiverse/cosmowenman
A 7th Century Bodhisattva Maitreya
The Metropolitan Museum of Art hosted a MakerBot hackathon in 2012, encouraging 3D designers to make blueprints for famous works of art. Some of the recreations turned out better than others; replicating works of art on a small scale with plastics is an activity fraught with failure.
Compare the original of the Seated Bodhisattva Maitreya, a sculpture found in Kabul, Afghanistan dating back to the 7th or 8th century, with its unfortunate 3D-printed equivalent. Here's the elegant original:
And the wonky-ass 3D replica:
Images via Thingiverse/Met
Lesson learned: not all 3D printing instructions are alike, and sometimes they'll make your art recreation look like someone melted a trinket you bought at a flea market in Hawaii.
A Song Dynasty Sculpture
The Asian Art Museum has its own Buddhist art blueprints, with better results. A 3D version of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, a Song Dynasty sculpture of the deity Avalokiteshvara (who represents infinite compassion, which is nice) turned out better than the Met's (though, honestly, still not that great):
Images via Thingiverse/AsianArtMuseum
The scan was made with Autodesk123D Catch using the iPhone—proof you don't need an especially fancy tool to get a solid 3D roadmap uploaded.
A Moai-Inspired Tray
Of course, part of the fun of 3D printing is putting your own custom spin on things. You can download a traditional representation of the Moai statues famous for dotting Easter Island — or you can choose a version with a twist. Why not, for instance, create
a feeding tray for your gecko based on the Moai design? Don't worry: Thingiverse user NerdAler3D already remixed a more traditional model to serve as a feeding station for his son's pet.
Image via Thingiverse/NerdAlert3D
You can also make chopsticks with Moai heads as decoration:
Image via Thingiverse/mah_digilife
The Venus of Willendorf
You can download a traditional version of the Venus of Willendorf, the female statue found in Germany that dates back to 28,000 BC, like this one from Zydac:
Image via Thingiverse/Zydac
Or spice things up with the 'Bunny of Willendorf' by Benito Sanduchi, which is legitimately terrifying:
Image via Thingiverse/BentioSanduchi
After seeing the Duchamp chess kit, I was surprised by the paucity of works that aren't extremely old. I can't even track down any Picasso, and my hope that someone would've slapped together a design to make DIY Kara Walker replicas was quickly dashed. Any readers want to conjure a workable blueprint for A Subtlety?

Supersonic? Peace of cake.
I enjoyed jumping off of things when I was younger. I jumped off of our house, practicing my tuck and roll. I jumped my bike off of things -- plywood ramps in particular. I jumped off of a galloping horse one time. OK, fell off. And there was a time when I really wanted to jump out of an airplane and skydive. The opportunity did not present itself and the desire has now passed. Falling ten stories in one of the Elevator of Doom rides at a big amusement park really was the beginning of the end of my desire to jump off of things. But seeing... [More]

Cool, and green tech from IBM
Very cool story about a water-cooled IBM supercomputer at Swiss university ETH Zurich . It uses 40% less energy than air-cooling the same system, and the captured heat is used to heat the building. Amazing how retro-innovative we become when we start thinking of resources as gifts instead of entitlements. In my house, we've been separating items out for recycling pickup for years. They take glass and some types of plastic. And recently, at my wife's encouragement, we found a cardboard recycling drop-off by a neighborhood school and have since... [More]

Think about it for a second. When Barry committed this act of going back in time, (an act which I think was selfish and irresponsible) It created the Flashpoint time line, in which Wally was powerless and eventually murdered by Captain (at that time Citzen) Cold. When he finally "fixed" the timeline it wiped him from existence. Now was his death in Flashpoint that led to his absence in the New 52? Either way Barry is ultimately responsible for the current non existence of his nephew, on of the people who loved him the most. Do you think that Barry will be able to forgive himself if he ever remembers Wally. With these connections made, given his history with Wally, this is something serious to think about.
Did Barry Kill Wally?
Just because Wally hasn't appeared yet doesn't mean he was wiped from existence in this universe, he just hasn't made an appearance yet. For all we know he could be going to college in Keystone or something like that. He WILL appear just give it some more time.
@hunterscarlet: If you'll remember, Barry was about to fix everything and then "something" interfered, resulting in the revamp. The "something" was this Pandora character we know nothing about. So it wasn't really Barry who wiped out Wally from existence, even though in any just universe Wally would be the Flash over stale toast Barry.
Admittedly hilarious if proven true.
lol maybe indirectly by kicking off the Flashpoint
technically no. he may have erased his existence though.

Reviews (3)
This is an EXCELLENT blanket and a great bargain for the price. It is extremely large and I found it extremely useful when my bitch was in season. You MUST launder in the laundromat though with a high capacity oversized washer and dryer to effectively clean it. I highly recommend for crates and cars.
"can't wash it"
"Anything for pets that says ""spot clean only"" is going to be useless in the long run. This is similar to a blanket used for moving furniture. If you can't wash it it isn't useful for pets. I bought them anyway and regret it, eventually something will come up requiring it be washed. "
"Great pad"
This is a tough, thick blanket. Its large size makes it great for a furniture throw or a car seat protector. It is also very thick and comfortable and my dogs love it. A bargain at this price.

An opinion is a subjective statement or thought about an issue or topic, and is the result of emotion or interpretation of facts. An opinion may be supported by an argument, although people may draw opposing opinions from the same set of facts. Opinions rarely change without new arguments being presented. However, it can be reasoned that one opinion is better supported by the facts than another by analysing the supporting arguments.

I just clicked yours to start up.
What the referral 2.0 system rewards you with is the following:
* Earn 250 IP each time a friend reaches level 5 and milestone rewards as they reach level 10!
So, basically by joining up through a referral link you can help another player earn up to 500 extra points, which is enough for a cheap extra champion.
It doesn't hurt anyone, you don't lose anything by joining as a referral, you just help another player.

My dd is 14 and goes to a performing arts high school. She gets striaght A's and follows the rules. She hasn't asked me to date and loves to go out with friends. I have let her get her ears pierced and she now has three holes. SHe asked me to get the underside of her hair (which is long and curly) dyed red. So, I let her. My MIL flipped out. She said between the ear peircings and now getting her hair dyed she is going to look like a "hood". Another mom said she would never let he dd dye her hair until she was 18.
My opinion is she is a good kid and wants to have some fun with her appearance. This is the time to do it.
I think what your daughter did is just fine. My daughter did the same thing and is an honors student. Transforming your body does not suddenly make you "dumb"! My parents also didnt like what my daughter started wearing....saying she was turning "goth"....but ive seen "goth" and she was not doing that....she was wearing a couple of black shirts or black pants (not all the time) and that suddenly made her "goth". Old fashioned parents is what your MIL is! My parents are also 'old fashioned'. NOW if your daughter started flunking all her classes than maybe she did get too many holes in her head! Just kidding! LOL! :)

Updated on 9 January 2015
Singapore: Singapore's biopharmaceutical company, MerLion Pharmaceuticals, has recieved positive results from a phase 2 trial with finafloxacin, conducted in Europe, for complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI), including a high proportion with pyelonephritis.
Finafloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that demonstrates a substantially improved therapeutic profile over the existing gold standard and greater utility in treating many severe infections, including those caused by a number of resistant Gram-negative pathogens. This superior profile is a result of finafloxacin's unique chemical structure: in the hostile acidic conditions found at the sites of nearly all infections there is a substantially higher take-up and accumulation of finafloxacin in bacterial cells, as well as superior binding of the molecule to the two fluoroquinolone targets. Most other antibiotics, including other fluoroquinolones, have decreased activity in these acidic conditions where their effectiveness is most needed.
MerLion has developed IV and oral formulations of finafloxacin with equivalent bioavailability, offering physicians the choice of initially treating infections in hospital or at out-patient infusion centres for one to three days with the IV regimen, then allowing patients to complete their treatment at home; reducing the risk of complications and/or secondary infections.
Mr David Dally, CEO, MerLion, commented, "The data from this trial support the clear differentiation of finafloxacin from existing fluoroquinolones and from other antibiotics (including those in development): The safety and tolerability profile allows high once-daily dosing that, when added to the drug's excellent PK profile and bioavailability, results in finafloxacin's very rapid and sustained bactericidal effects, as well as having a low propensity for development of resistance. These results are in line with those found by our major industry partner, which has successfully developed a topical formulation of finafloxacin for treating ear infections."

Trump picks Kelly for Homeland Security; several key cabinet decisions still to come
By Jamie Dupree
President-Elect Donald Trump began his week by picking retired Gen. John Kelly for the job of Homeland Security Secretary, as Mr. Trump still has some big decisions to make on his Cabinet, along with the more tedious process of filling hundreds of lower-level government positions.
"Gen. John Kelly's decades of military service and deep commitment to fighting the threat of terrorism inside our borders makes him the ideal choice to serve as our Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security," Mr. Trump said in a morning new release.
"The American people voted in this election to stop terrorism, take back sovereignty at our borders, and put a stop to political correctness that for too long has dictated our approach to national security," Kelly added in his own statement.
General John Kelly will be a tremendous leader at Homeland Security. His leadership of the Southern Command was the perfect preparation.
— Newt Gingrich (@newtgingrich) December 12, 2016
The Trump Transition still must make announcements on a series of Cabinet jobs:
+ Secretary of State
+ Veterans Affairs
+ Interior
+ Agriculture
+ Energy
Also, still to be filled are jobs that have a Cabinet-level feel to them, like the U.S. Trade Representative and someone to head the Office of Management and Budget.
There are nearly 700 positions that require confirmation by the U.S. Senate for a new administration, which includes ambassadors, assistant secretaries, deputy secretaries, and other important leadership jobs.
The "biggest" job left to pick on the board at this point is obviously that of Secretary of State – all indications are that post will go to Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson, but nothing is official until it happens.
Over the weekend, Mr. Trump made clear he likes Tillerson for a number of reasons.
Whether I choose him or not for "State"- Rex Tillerson, the Chairman & CEO of ExxonMobil, is a world class player and dealmaker. Stay tuned!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 11, 2016
"Everything about Rex Tillerson says excellence," said Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX), though there are some GOP Senators who aren't sold about Tillerson's lack of government experience.
Critics of Mr. Trump have not been impressed.
"What concerns me very much is it looks like we have a cabinet of billionaires," said Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
"I call it the three 'G' Cabinet," said Sen. Clare McCaskill (D-MO). "Goldman, generals and gazillionaires."
In terms of timing, the Trump Transition is running at about the same time line for filling appointments as the Obama Transition eight years ago.
Mr. Trump will be sworn in on January 20, 2017.

A sergeant accused of hazing a private who then committed suicide goes on trial today at Fort Bragg. Sergeant Adam Holcomb of Youngstown, Ohio, is one of eight soldiers charged in the death of 19-year-old Private Danny Chen, of New York. Military officials say Chen shot himself last year in Afghanistan after weeks of physical and emotional abuse. He was allegedly targeted because he was Chinese-American.
Grover Baxley is a Virginia-based civilian defense counsel for soldiers, and a former member of the Air Force Judge Advocate General Corps. He says hazing has become a prominent concern in the military, following recent bad press and Congressional inquiries.
Grover Baxley: To not just charge Sergeant Holcomb with hazing or maltreatment, which apparently they have, but to take it that one step further and say that that hazing and maltreatment was the proximate cause of his death, despite the fact that Private Chen committed suicide that seems to be a step that the military has not taken before, but is largely in response to the public scrutiny the military is under with regard to hazing.
Holcomb faces nearly 18 years in prison if convicted of all charges at his court martial. Seven other soldiers will be tried over the next several months.

Thank you

Rachel Niederman, a teacher at the Aspire College California College Preparatory Academy in Berkeley, sometimes feels that she tries to pack too much into each 100-minute English class. But her students seem to think otherwise.
On a student survey she gave her 10th and 11th graders in December, they rated her a 2.9 out of 4 on "Our class stays busy and doesn't waste time." By contrast, the students gave her a 3.7 for respecting them and 3.6 for developing a safe and supportive climate for learning.
Like teachers across the country, Niederman had been observed plenty of times by principals and other adults, yet she had not always heard specifically about those strengths and weaknesses. To her, student surveys are a crucial part of the teacher evaluation toolbox. "If you only get student perceptions, you are missing the degree to which they are excelling in subject matter," she says. "But if you're only using test scores, you're missing how excited they are about the subject, how well they write and express themselves."
Enthusiasm is growing for student surveys as a reliable, actionable measure of teacher effectiveness based, in part, on results from the Measures of Effective Teaching study. The project found that student surveys provide one valid, reliable lens on teaching. Beginning in the 2013-14 school year, Aspire Public Schools, which runs 34 charter schools in California, will make student surveys a component of all teachers' evaluations, along with principal and peer observations and student test scores. Students in Memphis, TN; Washington, D.C.; Denver, CO; Hillsborough County, FL; and other districts are also weighing in about their teachers through surveys.
The Aspire student survey consists of 15 items. Many, such as "My teacher asks us questions to make sure we understand," draw from the work of Harvard education economist Ronald Ferguson, who presented his approach to student surveys, called Tripod, at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's Teaching is Learning symposium held in Phoenix earlier this month.
Niederman has always been a proponent of student surveys: In 2011-12, when she was still a teacher in training, she decided on her own volition to give them to her students. She devised the surveys herself, so they did not provide quantifiable data as they do now—but she still received valuable feedback. Students said that her assignments were not always clear and that they didn't always feel challenged, which prompted her to spend the last part of each class discussing the homework and to expect higher-quality work from students.
The changes paid off: Niederman's most recent student survey gives her strong scores for "I am learning new things in this class" and "My teacher lets us know when we are doing a good job of following expectations." As for the challenges identified in December, keeping students busy and not wasting time, Niederman is considering more clearly defining roles for students when they work in groups and setting strict timelines for activities. She looks forward to hearing the difference her efforts made when she gives the next survey at year's end.
"Students observe us more than anyone, even our principal," she says. "They see us when we get frustrated and overwhelmed, and they see us when we teach an amazing lesson no one else sees. The students know when they're frustrated or bored out of their minds—something an observer might not pick up if the students are sitting up straight and appearing to listen just because they're afraid of getting in trouble."

2-pack Original Factory Replacement FC40R1029 20" x 30" x 5" (actual size 19 3/4" X 29 3/4" X 3") NOTE: Honeywell is now making this filter in 3" depth (formerly 4-3/8"). The have increased the pleat count on the filter to match the performance of the old design.MERV 10 Replaces older Honeywell model number F35R. The FC40R Return Grille Filter is a high-efficiency, long-life replacement for return grille applications. It captures a significant amount of the airborne particles in the air that circulate through the filter. (Honeywell recommends allowing a depth of seven inches behind the grille to provide space for the deeper filter and airflow through the filter.) Honeywell recommends changing your filter once a year. It may be necessary to replace it sooner depending on the conditions in your home.
FEATURES . Mounts in most third party return filter grilles (features integral gasket around upstream side of filter). . Provides high-efficiency alternative to one-inch filter. . Captures particles as small as 0.3 micron. . Pleated filter for greater media capacity. . Easy installation. Pre-assembled filter easily inserts into and out of existing return grille. . Exclusive frame design nests properly into place. . Low pressure drop reduces strain on equipment, provides a comfortable air flow and maintains equipment efficiency longer than standard filters.

Better than Filterete?
By LarryO
from Las Vegas
changing from Filtrete 1250 to this, I have noticed improved air flow, and I hope less back pressure. This filter costs approx 3x the cost of the filtrete I was using, but, I hope to get 3-6 months between changes compared to changing monthly.

Found in: Workshops
CraftPerspectives | Symposium: Craft and Social Practice
May 18, 2013 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
This symposium is in conjunction with Open Engagement, an international conference that explores socially engaged art making organized by Portland State University's Art and Social Practice MFA concentration. Craft and Social Practice is a project of Museum of Contemporary Craft that will explore the role of craft-based media and technique in relation to social practice. In recent decades, many artists have turned to an interdisciplinary approach to making that draws from a range of materials and processes. The use of handcraft with project-based works has become an increasing trend. Perhaps rooted in the counterculture and DIY movements of the 20th century, craft has become a compelling vehicle to bring together collaborators to engage in social work, ranging from critical resistance to collaborative gesture.
This symposium seeks to explore: How can practices that have traditionally emphasized the production of objects play a part in a contemporary art movement that is invested in dialogue and the social as a means of production? What is it about craft-based media that is appealing to socially-engaged artists and how is it being engaged? How has craft always been a social practice, from workshop to dining table?
The symposium will be presented in three sections:
10:00am – 12:00pm: A Roundtable Conversation featuring guest artists Gabriel Craig, Ayumi Horie, Stacy Jo Scott of Craft Mystery Cult, and Michael Strand. Moderated by Namita Gupta Wiggers, Director and Chief Curator, Museum of Contemporary Craft. 12:00 – 1:00pm: Paper bag Lunch Breakout Discussion Sessions.
 Discussion 1: How can artists bring the past forward, using craft as a framework to leverage a broad cultural legacy in the production of contemporary work? Moderated by Ayumi Horie and Stacy Jo Scott. Discussion 2: What is the position of the artist and of the audience within project-based works that grant objects—or their production—social agency? Moderated by Michael Strand and Gabriel Craig. 3:00 – 4:30pm: SMART STRATEGIES: A Participatory Workshop with Carole Lung, aka Frau Fiber.
 In her book Waste and Want: A Social History of Trash, Susan Strasser traces the "progressive obsolescence" of clothing and other consumer goods to the 1920s. Before then, and especially during World War I, most clothing was repaired, mended, tailored to fit other family members, or recycled within the home as rags or quilts. Today, globalization has made it possible to produce clothing at increasingly lower prices, prices so low that many consumers consider this clothing to be disposable. Call it "fast fashion," the clothing equivalent of fast food. Fast fashion leaves a pollution footprint: Americans throw away more than 68 pounds of clothing and textiles per person per year; Seven billion pounds per-year of used clothing is sold in more than 100 countries. Using the T-shirt as a "natural resource" this workshop will explore the potential of crochet, rope making, and basket weaving to address the surplus of Secondary Materials and Recycled Textiles (SMART), and explore how objects generated from these skills and materials can be reintegrated into everyday life. Tickets for this event are free and open to the public. Register for Open Engagement through Eventbrite. Space is limited so arrive early! Gabriel Craig is a Detroit-based metalsmith, writer, and craft activist, whose performative use of craft engages diverse audiences in discussions about self-sufficiency, labor, consumption, and tradition. His studio work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and has appeared in numerous books and magazines. Craig's critical writing has appeared in prominent craft publications including Metalsmith, American Craft, and FiberArts magazines. He has held residencies at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft and Savannah College of Art and Design. Craig received his BFA in Metals/ Jewelry from Western Michigan University and his MFA in Jewelry and Metalworking from Virginia Commonwealth University. Gabriel's work can be found online at gabrielcraigmetalsmith.com. Ayumi Horie grew up in the 1970's in Maine. She learned to love working with her hands early on as her Japanese family fished, gardened, cooked, and often visited the beach. With a childhood like this, it's only natural that Ayumi grew up to become a studio potter. Recently, she relocated back to Maine from the Hudson Valley of New York. She has taught workshops and given lectures at many universities, art centers, and residencies in the U.S. and abroad, and her work is in various collections throughout the US. In the fall of 2008, Ayumi curated and organized Obamaware, a ceramics auction that raised $10,843.54 for the Obama/Biden campaign. In 2011, just after the Great East Japan earthquake, she co-founded Handmade For Japan, which to date has raised over $102,000 for disaster relief in Japan. Ayumi's work can be found online at ayumihorie.com. Carole Lung, aka Frau Fiber, is a textile worker and activist. As Frau Fiber, Carole has created site-specific performances of garment production labor in United States, Germany, and Ireland. In 2006, at Mess Hall in Chicago, IL, she began, the Sewing Rebellion, a national campaign to STOP SHOPPING AND START SEWING. Today, chapters have been established nationwide, and Carole has continued with additional projects such as the Pedal Powered Sewing Machine, (2007, New Orleans), Walking/Weaving, (2008, New York), and KO Enterprises: High Performance Apparel Production, (2010, Museum of Contemporary Craft). Carole has been awarded numerous grants and fellowships, and currently, she is an assistant professor in the Art Department at California State University, Los Angeles. Stacy Jo Scott is an artist based in Oakland, CA. She is a graduate of Cranbrook Academy of Art and a member of the Craft Mystery Cult performance collaborative. Her work has recently been shown at Roots & Culture Contemporary Art Center in Chicago, The Sculpture Center in Cleveland and Dalgleish Cadillac in Detroit. Publications include the Journal of Modern Craft Blog, Bad at Sports Contemporary Art Talk, and Ox-Bow School of the Arts Blog. She also co-curated the exhibition New Morphologies at The Schein-Joseph International Museum of Ceramic Art at Alfred University. Her work can be found online at www.openfactoryproject.com and www.craftmysterycult.com. Michael J. Strand is a North Dakota based artist and activist. Formatively a potter, Michael's work has moved seamlessly into social practice while remaining dedicated to the traditional object as he investigates the potential of craft as a catalyst for social change. Strand's work has been published internationally, with articles in Ceramics Technical, Studio Potter, Hemslojen, The Chronicle of Higher Education and Public Art Review. His recent Artstimulus projects were cited in 40 Under 40: Craft Futures by Renwick Gallery curator Nicholas Bell, and his project The Misfit Cup Liberation Project was launched at The Plains Art Museum in Fargo, ND. Strand's work can be found online at www.michaeljstrand.com. Namita Gupta Wiggers is Director and Chief Curator of Museum of Contemporary Craft in partnership with Pacific Northwest College of Art. Since 2004, Namita Gupta Wiggers has directed the exhibitions, permanent collection, and public programming operations of MoCC. Her curatorial work combines her experience and training as an art historian, a museum educator, ethnographer and design researcher, teacher, writer, and studio art jeweler. Wiggers has organized dozens of exhibitions, and has authored a number of publications for the Museum as well as other institutions. Wiggers is co-founder of Critical Craft Forum which connects artists, academics, and museum professionals through annual programs and dialogue. About Open Engagement: Open Engagement is an international conference that sets out to explore various perspectives on art and social practice and expand the dialogue around socially engaged art making. The Open Engagement conference is an initiative of Portland State University's Art and Social Practice MFA concentration. Directed and founded by Jen Delos Reyes and planned in conjunction with the Art and Social Practice students, this year's conference features keynote presenters Claire Doherty, Tom Finkelpearl, and Michael Rakowitz. About Museum of Contemporary Craft: Founded in 1937, Museum of Contemporary Craft (MoCC) in partnership with Pacific Northwest College of Art is a vibrant center for investigation and dialogue that helps expand the definition and exploration of craft.

Today, December 4th, is the feast of Saint Barbe, the first Provençal Christmas tradition takes place in France. Growing wheat. This morning I bought wheat grains for Annie and I.
Annie's wheat is always superior to mine. "Experience." she says, plus I think Saint Barbe is on her side.
Third step, moisten the cotton with a dab of water, but not gushing soak.
I have heard you can use moss on which to scatter your grains, which seems tres chic, though I have traditionally used cotton. Every other day you will need to moisten the cotton holding the grains, until you see that they're full-grown.
Also, the grains need to be by indirect sunlight.
The outcome of the wheat is said to be a symbol of the harvest to come. If the grains germinate and sprout beautifully, it is said that the harvest will be bountiful. If the grains shoots are immature and yellow, poor harvests are predicted. If nothing happens...well maybe you watered it too much, or didn't have it close to a source of light, or your grains were old, nevertheless, it isn't a good sign as far as symbols are concerned.
It is also said that the shoots growth predict your good fortune for the year to come.
The sprouting grains of wheat are used to decorate the table at Christmas, and or the creche (nativity scene.) Plates of growing wheat are in shops, homes, schools... Everyone in France has a mini wheat field growing, even at the post office.
After Epiphany Annie use to take hers and plants it in a nearby wheat field, she said that is also, part of the tradition.
French Husband came in while I was taking photos of the wheat grain, he asked what I was doing...
After I told him he said, "You forgot the most important part!"
"What did I forget Smarty Pants?"
"The last step. You must kiss over the wheat for good fortune."
I shook my head no, "Annie never mentioned that."
"Its true."
I laughed!
I am not sure how true this part of the tradition is, but it sure makes the process more fun. And I never say no to kissing.
(I look like a horse ready to eat the wheat grains...)
What Christmas traditions are you following, or breaking?
Thank you for the loving comments yesterday... what true "santons" you are! Kind, generous and inspiring!

After a long flight I reached the notorious capital of Nepal early in the morning. After the Immigration necessity I got picked up from my empress TY and we went into town, direct into busy Thamel, the tourist quarter in Kathmandu. Happily that she chose a hotel a little bit outside of that mess, in a small alley away from that street-hustlers who want to sell almost everything a human mind can imagine. While my former visits the Swoyambhu Stupa was mostly the first sight I visited, so as this time too. This stupa is set in the western part on a small hill nearby the town center, actually it is an easy stroll, but we decided to take a ricksha because it is quite fun to get well shaken in that backseat. As I can imagine how strenuous the work as a rikshadriver is we jumped out half way and walked the last stretch uphill. We passed by the Bisnumati River and I could not remember that this place was so polluted. It seems that the town get rid off all waste and garbage here in this small river, maybe it was like before, but this time I came directly from sterile Europe and probably I recognized it more than before. On the foot of that hill a long and sweaty climb (231 steep steps) brought us to the entire place of that monastery hill. Sadly that the main stupa was hidden behind a scaffolding caused of construction work, fortunately I am not a first time visitor so I already enjoyed that in its full glance. We enjoyed the fresh breeze above the city and strolled around the extended area. I realy feel good to be back in a world where the senses are more claimed than at home. The smell of burned incense, the sound of rattling prayer wheels, the mantras sang by worshipers or the colorful wind-horses waved by the wind are a feast for the senses. Also aplenty of monkeys inhabit this hill, which gave this monastery the nickname ´monkey temple´ and are waiting for donations in form of any kind of food given by the many visitors. Later we strolled back into busy Thamel and enjoyed a dhaal bhat tarkhali dinner (rice, lentils and vegetables) with some Tibetan friends who were in Kathmandu too. Also on our schedule was a visit at Bodnath, called by the locals easily Boudha. We visited Sonam, a Tibetan salesman who has his shop nearby this holy 40m high stupa, and just enjoyed the peaceful but slightly crowded atmosphere there. Later on we also went to the Durbar Square, the old center of Kathmandu with its many ancient palaces, holy shrines and temples. But quiet the most fun of all activities for me is walking around the old town situated between New Road and Thamel. In these small alleys a typical bazaar offers things for every daily needs. Woman shove through the lanes in their colored sari, Tibetans in traditional dresses, youngsters showing the latest fashions and children in their school uniforms struggle the way through. One alley mainly offer household stuff, the other electronic goods while in another the shoe business is atop. There is always something else to explore, small hidden stupas and temples, one of the very few old style Newari houses which are rare in Kathmandu nowadays or simply the farmers selling their vegetables on every corner.
But after all, a few days are quiet enough, as it is good to come again it is good to leave after a few days too. The negative signs like every big city are present here of course too, even more because Kathmandu is quite small, compared to other Asian capitals. So then we headed directly to Pokhara, which I would call meanwhile my home away from home.

Solutions Overview
This script is Copyright (C) 2013-2016 Tenable Network Security, Inc.
Synopsis : The remote Oracle Linux host is missing one or more security updates. Description : From Red Hat Security Advisory 2011:0436 : Updated avahi packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. Avahi is an implementation of the DNS Service Discovery and Multicast DNS specifications for Zero Configuration Networking. It facilitates service discovery on a local network. Avahi and Avahi-aware applications allow you to plug your computer into a network and, with no configuration, view other people to chat with, view printers to print to, and find shared files on other computers. A flaw was found in the way the Avahi daemon (avahi-daemon) processed Multicast DNS (mDNS) packets with an empty payload. An attacker on the local network could use this flaw to cause avahi-daemon on a target system to enter an infinite loop via an empty mDNS UDP packet. (CVE-2011-1002) All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the update, avahi-daemon will be restarted automatically. See also : https://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/el-errata/2011-April/002071.html Solution : Update the affected avahi packages. Risk factor : Medium / CVSS Base Score : 5.0 (CVSS2#AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P) CVSS Temporal Score : 4.3 (CVSS2#E:ND/RL:OF/RC:C) Public Exploit Available : true
