It's the tail end of both lilac and peony season, which means this is my last chance to have the house filled with the delightful scent of lilac. I picked up fresh blooms this week, whipping up a simple arrangement. I like my flowers to look like they have just been picked from the garden. When creating this arrangement I started with the peonies, trimming them to sit 2 inches above the rim of the vase. Next I grouped the lilac together. I kept the lilac stems longer so that they would cascade over the peonies. I filled the empty spaces around the two statement flowers with filler blooms, in this case I picked up pink and white lisianthus. I love how this arrangement turned out. It's sitting on my coffee table as a write this.
Happy Friday! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by the blog.

My Top 7 Hard Won Lessons Learned As An Entrepreneur
Success is not final. Failure is not final. It is the courage to succeed that counts. - Winston Churchill.
Success is not final. Failure is not final. It is the courage to succeed that counts. - Winston Churchill.
I've failed more often than most people I know. I'm actually proud of that. It just means I've taken more risks and learned more along the way. Still, it doesn't mean that learning is easy. On the contrary, learning is damn hard and admitting failure is even harder. But I believe that if we can admit to our mistakes, we can
turn them into lessons that help us avoid them in the future.
turn them into lessons that help us avoid them in the future.
It's easy to take credit for our successes, attributing them to internal factors like hard work - that way we can talk ourselves into believing that we deserve it. But failures, well those we'd rather blame on external factors like luck. So for the purposes of personal growth and a desire to help others learn from my experience, I'd like to share what I consider to be my top 7 hard won lessons learned (to date) as an entrepreneur.
1. Don't let failure make you less generous. I think of myself as a giving person, but at times, especially when my personal bank account suffered from company expenses, I found myself increasingly selfish. In only thinking about myself, I pushed business partners away and snuffed out good opportunities. Now I work to maintain my otherwise natural sense of abundance.
2. Step off the emotional roller coaster. I'm a passionate, enthusiastic person and that usually serves me well, but in the daily roller coaster of emotion that is entrepreneurship, it's kicked the crap out of me. I've blown both my wins and setbacks out of proportion. It's made me lose my even keel and that has caused me to run out of gas when I really needed it. Now I find passion in success, not just my ideas.
3. Don't always react, but do listen. When people have told me that my products wouldn't work, it just made me want it more. Entrepreneurs are contrarian by nature, but I found that not following other people's advice shouldn't mean not listening what they have to say. In reality, some of my products ended up being solutions looking for problems. Now I hear what trusted sources have to say and make adjustments accordingly.
4. Always believe in yourself. Rejection and entrepreneurship go hand in hand. You're trying to do something new that most don't yet understand. I used to take a lot of that rejection to heart and lost self-confidence along the way. Without confidence, things fall apart. Now I'm better prepared for the rejection and don't take it so personally.
5. Be naive, but not too naive. To some extent, entrepreneurs need a little naiveté. Truly seeing the immense amount of work ahead causes most logical people to run the other way. However, too much naiveté and our assumptions are almost certain to crumble in the face of adversity. Now I invest a lot more in due diligence before diving head first into an industry.
6. Find a complementary partner. I've thrown myself at ideas and pushed relentlessly to make them a reality. In that process I've worked with several consultants, advisors and vendors, but not with enough true co-founders. For me, finding a great technical partner has been my biggest challenge. As I've ridden the emotional roller coaster of entrepreneurship, I've also wished that I had a partner that I could lean on when things seemed bleak. Now I don't act like a cowboy and never go it alone.
7. Don't lose your patience. I'd like to say that I've lost my patience, but the truth is that I've never had much to begin with. Looking at events only from my own perspective, I expected others to have my same sense of urgency, which they often do not have. There's a fine line between determination and annoying the hell out of people. Now I see the line more clearly and am less likely to cross it again.
By no means is this list exhaustive! I've made plenty of other mistakes and learned a ton along the way. It's true that entrepreneurship has sometimes challenged my otherwise positive thinking. Then again, realizing that we have challenges and having the courage to solve them is the very definition of optimism.

text: Rapper Lil Wayne, real name Dwayne Carter, has been sentenced to a year in jail for having a loaded gun on his tour bus. The Grammy Award-winning rapper was arrested in July 2007 and pleaded guilty in October to attempted criminal possession of a weapon. He admitted having the loaded .40-caliber semiautomatic gun on his tour bus.Lil Waynes sentencing was postponed in February due to the surgery on his teeth. Now, he will serve his sentence at the Rikers Island jail complex. He could be released in about eight months with good behaviour. He will have a cell to himself but the option of spending time in a TV room with 17 other inmates, who will also have been separated from the general population. However, the rapper has become one of musics most prolific and profitable figures in recent years. His Tha Carter III was the best-selling album of 2008. His latest album Rebirth, was released last month. He has even planned to keep working while he is in prison. Ill be still rapping in there, have a gang of raps ready when I come back home, the Rolling Stone quotes him as saying.

Werner Herzog doesn't care what you think about him, about his mythos. He does care about myth, the stories people tell and why. His newest movie, "Into The Inferno," in which he tours six active volcanoes around the world, is as much about the culture and beliefs that surround volcanoes as it is about the science. Editor Alex Pasternack speaks with Herzog about his filmmaking, science and scientists, distributing his film through Netflix, and police body cameras.

Reflecting on 'Independence Day,' the Greatest Hacking Movie Ever
This podcast contains spoilers for Independence Day and Independence Day 2: Resurgence.
We had 20 years to prepare.
That's the tagline for Independence Day 2. It refers to Earth, and how long we had to get ready for a second alien invasion. But it also applies to Roland Emmerich and the team behind the sequel.
In this podcast, Radio Motherboard interviews Emmerich, goes to see ID4-2, and talks about what made the first film such a hit and the second one, not so much.
The Moon Walking, Alien-Hunting, Psychic Astronaut Who Got Sued By NASA
Edgar Mitchell, who passed away in February at the age of 85, was exceptional, even among astronauts. Like an archetypal moon man, he was a Boy Scout and a military test pilot with a protestant upbringing and an impressive command of engineering and aeronautics. In February 1971, on Apollo 14, he became the sixth man on the moon. But more so than other astronauts, Mitchell's brief exploration of outer space led to a deep exploration of inner space and the entire universe of phenomena explained and not. After conducting an ESP experiment in space, he became a connoisseur of parapsychology; later, he sought to show that aliens had visited Earth and that governments around the world had tried to cover up the truth. But he remained grounded on Earth too, and worried that civilization's narrow perspectives were exceedingly dangerous for the future of the planet and humanity.

The DeLonge Con
Former Blink 182 guitarist Tom DeLonge has a new project: telling the world the truth about UFOs. DeLonge has always been interested in the supernatural, and he's been researching and reporting the topic as part of a multimedia project called Sekret Machines that involves books, movies, music, and other moving parts. His first book, co-written by bestselling author AJ Hartley, is a pageturner novel called Chasing Shadows about a skeptical journalist who runs a UFO debunking website, a Holocaust survivor, an heiress whose father mysteriously dies, and a Marine pilot who gets recruited into a secret government technology project at Area 51. Somehow, their stories all intersect.
Motherboard talked to DeLonge about this project and whether he really believes all this stuff about aliens. We also dive into the weird and wonderful world of conspiracy theorists in the longest Radio Motherboard episode to date.
To Block or Not to Block, Featuring Talib Kweli
Twitter is a place where anyone can say anything, to anyone, at any time. But what happens when you don't want to hear what someone else has to say? What if someone is attacking you personally, or getting all their friends to attack you? On this week's Radio Motherboard, we talk about when to block, when to mute, and we consult with the master of the Twitter debate, rapper Talib Kweli.
How 'The X Files' Composer Made TV's Creepiest Theme Song
Hollywood, 1992. Mark Snow was already a pro at TV scores—dramas, procedurals, comedies—when a producer recommended him to Chris Carter, a veteran of Disney TV movies who needed music for a new TV pilot, The X Files, an unlikely supernatural procedural inspired partly by Kolchak, The Twilight Zone, and Twin Peaks. As he sat in his garage home studio one day, stumped in his search for the right sound for the show's theme music, Mark accidentally put his elbow on the keyboard. A delay echo blurted out of the monitors. "That's kinda cool," he thought.
Neither he nor Carter could imagine that that creepy, repeating sound would form the basis for one of TV's most unforgettable bits of music, one that would eventually implant itself like an alien virus across the culture and in the brains of a generation of viewers. (I offer no apologies for my first web page, in 1997, an X Files tribute that auto-played a MIDI version of the theme song, on repeat.) A few minutes after 10pm every Friday, those creepy synths and that whistle—a mix of computer and human sound—beckoned us into the shadows of the neon-bright '90s.
To get there, Snow tells me in a new episode of Radio Motherboard, he started by heeding Carter's advice: keep it simple. "Just make it that cool little thing that the boy scouts in the middle of the night on a camping trip whistle to each other… and then a monster comes and gobbles them up."
Double Episode! Cortana Abuse/Why Humans Should Be More Like AI
Sometimes, it can be hard to know how to act around artificial intelligence.
In the first half of Radio Motherboard this week, staff writer Jason Koebler explores how people treat Microsoft's digital assistant Cortana when no one's listening. (A small spoiler: Apparently, people like to harass it. One new challenge in AI programming is learning how to gently smack down haters.)
In the second half, editorial fellow Louise Matsakis looks at a group that runs a "rationality" workshop that teaches humans that in some cases, it makes more sense to think more like computers.
How to Think About the Biggest Earthquake Ever
How to Think About the Biggest Earthquake Ever
So scientists are saying an earthquake—a quake that is so big and so powerful you probably can't even properly comprehend it—is probably going to hit your city, hard. It could be five years out, ten years, fifty years, or it could be tomorrow. But it's going to come. How do we go about organizing that kind of information in we brains? How do we understand it on a rational, sensible level? Then, what do we do about it?
We can write science fiction stories about it, for one thing. That's what the archivist, researcher, and writer Adam Rothstein has done. Rothstein spent many months poring over every available emergency document, seismic evaluation, and scientific study carried out on the Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquake that he could get his hands on. That quake, scientists say, will be of a magnitude up to 9.3 Mw—perhaps the biggest to hit the continental US in our nation's history.
Last year, Kathryn Shulz published "The Really Big One" in the New Yorker. The story introduced, for many audiences, the prospect of a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake, which many geologists say is actually overdue. The article went viral, and left just about everyone in the Pacific Northwest terrified. But the fact that the quake is coming is only a small sliver of the story—what happens when it does is, arguably, the most important, at least from a humanistic point of view.
So this week, Terraform, our future fiction outfit, published Rothstein's intensely reported 5-part story about what, precisely, may happen after the Big One. When we chatted for the podcast, Rothstein told me that one of his chief aims was to get people thinking about the next steps, after awareness-raising.
"Lots of people I know just figure they'll be dead," he told me, despite the fact that your chances of surviving the initial quake in an inland metropolis like Portland are very high. So the point of the story, then, is to render the future less apocalyptic and more productive. Imagining the nitty gritty details of the calamities—not always outright tragedies—that will befall us, will help us prepare to assist our neighbors, and compel us to arrange and maintain earthquake kits.
So far, his story seems to be working.
At least, according to the urbanist and writer Alissa Walker, who writes of the piece, "All I will say is that it worked. Let's also hope all major cities in seismic areas will undertake a similar scenario-writing exercise and perhaps even work with local sci-fi writers. This series certainly got me far more motivated to get prepared than any other piece about earthquakes that I've researched or read myself."
Clearly, not everyone will have such a positive reaction; but that is, for Rothstein, the desired effect: comprehension of a potentially far-off and difficult future, and preparation for its coming. Listen in for more for our discussion of the story's genesis, what will happen to Portland in the wake of the quake, and science fiction's role in charting out our plausible futures.

Fei Yongquan, 77, adores
Peking Opera and has
developed a very distinctive way of expressing that lifelong fascination. He paints the
opera's distinctive facial masks
on eggshells.
"Of everything about Peking
Opera, the facial mask paintings
fascinated me most," said Fei. "I
loved to study how the different colors and shapes expressed
the different personalities of
He has created more than 200
facial mask paintings in the last
decade and now teaches a class
on eggshell painting in his local
community. His craftsmanship
was honored at the World Expo
Shanghai 2010.
Prior to retirement, Fei taught
mechanics at a vocation school
in Minhang. It all seems a far cry
from his artistic endeavors.
Fei said he always loved to sing
Peking Opera and once joined a
club for amateur singers. However, his native Zhejiang Province
accent didn't quite capture the
tones of lyrics written for the
pure Beijing dialect.
"It was weird, and not in a good
way, to sing Peking Opera with a
Zhejiang accent," said Fei. "So I
needed to find some other way to
pursue my interest."
He turned to the traditional
face masks of the opera genre, beginning self-study with the help
of a book entitled "The Art of Peking Opera Facial Mask Painting."
First, he needed to find a medium
to work in. He tried several before
finally settling on eggshells.
"The shape of an eggshell is
very similar to the human face,"
said Fei. "I found eggshells perfect for mask art."
One by one, eggshells have
become the classic characters
of Peking Opera: Bao Zheng, a detective with a black face; Guan
Yu, a general with a red face; and
Dou Erdun, a swordsman with a
blue face.
The works are displayed in a
glass cabinet in his living room.
Each piece is tagged with the
name and story of the character.
Fei admitted that painting on
eggshells isn't as easy as he originally thought. It took him years to
master the technique.
He starts by puncturing an egg with a small hole on the top
and a somewhat larger one on the bottom. Then he blows out
the yolk and white from one end.
The natural surface of the shells
is too rough to hold paint, so he
first polishes them with fine sand
paper. Eggshells, of course, are
fragile and sometimes break during the process.
Fei then draws a draft of a
facial mask with pencil on the
shell. He used to then paint them
with watercolor pens, but found
the color faded too quickly.
"My daughter-in-law bought me acrylic paint, and it worked
perfectly," said Fei. "The faces are
glossy and never fade."
The offshoot of his artistic
hobby is a steady fare for the family dinner table: scrambled eggs, steamed eggs, fried rice with eggs
and egg drop soup.
"I'm grateful that my family
supported me and didn't complain," he said. "I'm sorry that
they have had to put up with
eating so many eggs."
His work has attracted attention. Fei gives free lectures in a
local community school every
week, teaching people how to
paint eggshells.
His works were also displayed
on Central China Television during a Peking Opera competition,
which attracted media attention
from all over the country.
During the World Expo Shanghai 2010, Fei was invited to
demonstrate his techniques in the
China Pavilion.
"At that time, I drew Haibao,
the mascot of the event, and a lot
of older people came up and told
me they wanted to learn this art
form," he said.
Fei has declined to sell his eggshell masks to inquiring buyers,
but he does give away some of the
creations to friends as gifts.
"My hope is that more people
will become interested in painting Peking Opera face masks," he said. "It's an excellent way to
continue this traditional culture."

A new CarMax dealership, which will be one of the largest in the country, and a Kaiser medical complex near I-215 will shape the city of Murrieta's future and help it recover from the hammer blow of the recent recession.
That was the message delivered Thursday by Mayor Randon Lane, who presented the city's annual State of the City address at the Community Center on Juniper Street.
"Our economic development potential is just starting to be tapped," he said.
The CarMax, being built south of the Wal-Mart on Murrieta Hot Springs Road, is expected to sell hundreds of cars a year. That level of economic activity will boost the city's sales tax receipts and could help
It also will spur construction of roads and infrastructure in that part of the city that could lead to development on adjacent parcels.
The Kaiser complex, which could feature a hospital in the coming decade, is rising on land near the Loma Linda University Medical Center-Murrieta facility, helping the city fulfill its dream of a health care/technology corridor.
Patrick Ellis, president of the Murrieta Chamber of Commerce, said it was interesting to hear about all the things going on in the city a week after attending candidate forums, at which some of the challengers for City Council seats held by Lane and Harry Ramos said the city isn't doing enough to bring in jobs and industry.
The Triangle property – bounded by Murrieta Hot Springs Road and I-215 and I-15 – wasn't mentioned during the speech, which could be considered odd due to the size of the parcel and the potential for development there. Ellis said that's because plans have been approved by the city.
"At this point, everything is in Andy's (Domenigoni) lap," he said.
Residents have expressed concerns about the traffic that will be generated by both the CarMax and Kaiser projects, but city officials have said new infrastructure, including an planned interchange at Keller Road, should be able to handle the added trips.
In recent months, the council has been discussing a new planning blueprint for its downtown region, which, Lane said, has been one of his dreams since 2004.
The plan should allow someone to eat at new restaurants and walk to shops or participate in an arts council event.

leaked video shows Hillary believing her own fake Polls celebrating Premature election night victory.
Leaked video shows Hillary, believing in media's rigged polls, celebrates winning the election
voodo adept francis
"Witch Clinton had made a special prayer in Jeremie to be able to lead America into the biggest and most painful war of its existence, preferably a world war so as to kickstart the American economy into higher salaries for industrial workers and as to usher her country in a new global order. She was told that her wish would be granted. So she was already drunk with festive champagne when the election night began. As all of a sudden the tide of votes turned to Trump, she started flinging objects at everybody's face, and calling for more havoc, more destruction all around.
She got a Blackberry phone call from Haiti from her occult group. She angrily asked about her presidency that was being lost together with her hopes for a restorative war (God's own social programs as she said) : she was told the war did not need her as a president but as a passionaria because this time the world war would take place on American soil and was already happening all around her.
The dark forces grant all your wishes as you state them provided you provide the right amount of blood but while you state your wish you always miss some detail. All that jazz was performed as per the rules and rituals of Kabbalah, not Voodoo. Voodoo is there to be accused of ritual crimes it doesn't commit, exactly in the way Islam is used as a false flag when it comes to Jewish terrorism proper." source henry Makow
"Each day now to come will be a day of riots, the rioters of the Clinton camp being dead intent in taking revenge onto an America having voted badly, and destroying that white people, and the vigilantes of the Trump camp being dead intent in fighting perfectly knowing the foe respects no constitutional rules and has to be made obey the constitution by force only."

In the same way a liar starts believing their own lies it seems Hillary, Bill and Chelsea Clinton actually believed they were going to win the Election. Something went down election night to give Trump victory. There was major battle behind the scenes we believe Trump would have won a 70-30% victory if there was no election fraud.
What seems to have happened was a miracle as even though Trump had a landslide victory it came close in most swing states.
Hillary after the election was a forlorn figure who looked like death warmed up
Hillary why am I not 50 points ahead. shrieking fishwife.

The Azores archipelago is made up of 9 Islands: Corvo, Flores, Faial, Pico, Graciosa, Santa Maria, Terceira, Sao Jorge and the largest of Sao Miguel, formed by the clashing of three tectonic plates in the middle of the Atlantic. Each of these islands is unique and beautiful in their own special way.
Sao Miguel:
Sao Miguel is the largest of the islands, roughly 50 miles long and 13 miles wide, and its volcanic landscape is draped with lush green vegetation, punctured by hot springs and dotted with grazing Friesian cows. The winding coastal roads are lined with giant red and blue hydrangeas – visit the island in June and July to see this colourful spectacle.
In 2013, the Azores was named one of the Top 10 whale and dolphin watching destinations the world by The Telegraph newspaper. From the capital Ponta Delgada and from Vila Franca do Campo on the south coast of the island, you can book a half-day whale and dolphin excursion. With 24 of the world's cetacean spotted in the waters of the archipelago these trips have a high success rating. Sperm whales, Fin whales, Humpback whales, Blue whales, Common dolphins and Bottlenose dolphins have all been recorded and in 2013, Orcas were spotted off this coast of Sao Miguel – a rare sight. Of course, you are not guaranteed to see a whale and on my recent excursion, I did not see whales but I did get to observe dolphins in their natural habitat excitedly jumping around my rib boat.
Towards the east of the island is the village of Furnas, a mysterious town nestled among lush countryside and home to Furnas lake, hot springs and the renowned botanical gardens. This is the place for kayaking, bathing in thermal pools and for gentle walks. Furnas is also famed for its Cozido stew which is cooked in the hot springs in the village. In the Cozido you will find black pudding, pork belly, cabbage, carrot, yams, beef, chicken and potatoes, it has a slight sulphurous aroma and is delicious.
The second island of the archipelago, Terceira is just a 50-minute flight from Sao Miguel. A relatively flat island, in comparison to the rolling hills of Sao Miguel and the mountain ridge of Sao Jorge, Terceira is a fascinating destination to visit and a favourite of the team at Sunvil. Terceira combines some of the best aspects of the archipelago including a historical town (Angra do Heroismo), a sandy beach, unspoiled countryside and volcanic features.
Of particular interest are the festivities that take place on Terceira throughout the year. On most weekends throughout the summer you will find a village celebration, religious event or a 'running of the bulls' procession taking place. The locals are always more than happy to tell you where to find the nearest spectacular.
After my recent visit, I would recommend that all visitors climb to the top of Monte Brasil in Angra do Heroismo for a fabuous view over the town. The area is also a great area for picnics and walking.
Sao Jorge:
Sao Jorge is one of the longest and narrowest islands in the Azores, with a quaint little harbour in the capital, Velas. The island is ideal for walking, with most trails starting on the mountain peaks and meandering down to the small coastal settlements below. Wonderful views unfold at every turn.
Sao Jorge is part of the central group of islands – made up of Faial, Pico, Sao Jorge, Graciosa and Terceira. From the mountain summit, which runs along the length of the island, it is possible to see all five islands on a clear day. It is also possible to visit the neighbouring islands of Faial and Pico on a day excursion.
Do not forget to take a picture of Portugal's highest point, Mount Pico across the water. At sunset the view across the ocean from Velas is magnificent.
Sao Miguel, Terceira and Sao Jorge form an ideal multi-centre itinerary with each island having a different feel, landscape and attractions. In fact, with day excursions to Faial and Pico available it is possible to visit five islands in one holiday.

The highlight of our visit today was captured by Elizabeth when I was formally introduced to my very own Rock in the Scrub!
I have no doubt that you had a wonderful day and from Peter's recent photos The Scrub is looking beautiful. I am sure both yourself and Elizabeth had a day to remember.
What an honour for you to have your own rock.
Does Mr. Scrubber ALWAYS garden in a shirt and tie, or was it purely for your benefit? LOL
What a great photo and to be honoured with your own rock is the perfect tribute. You both look so well.
The tie was in honour of my guests Jacinta! I have been known to garden in boxers!!!!When trying to clean stream! No dont try to imagine it! Hazel was actually thinking of that photo this morning and said i must get a copy and now Ihave it! many thanks for your lovely if flattering account!
Mr Scrubber needs a new nickname. "Rocky"
Lovely photo of you both. I'm glad Peter wasn't cleaning the stream again!!
Such a happy picture!

I don't know a lick about auto racing, but this is more than just auto racing. Helio Castroneves won the opening race of the IndyCar series yesterday, holding off a surging Scott Dixon for the checkered flag in St. Petersburg, Florida. That's great and all, but Castroneves' celebration is what makes the win all the more special.
In turn 10 of the racetrack, they renamed it Dan Wheldon Way. Wheldon, who was a two-time Indianapolis 500 winner, was killed last year during the final race of the season in Las Vegas.
It's been six months since the Dan Wheldon accident. An accident that took the life of a driver in their prime. And an accident that shook the racing world to the core. To celebrate his win, Castroneves drove to turn 10, and did his patented "Spider-Man" climbing of the net, pointing to the Dan Wheldon Way sign.
After climbing down from the fence, Castroneves was overcome with emotion – understandably so.
It's hard to put ourselves in the situation with these drivers. I mean, losing a friend is tough enough. But losing a friend in a way that could end your life in a split second has to be overwhelming.

Are you the type of woman that likes to know about the most legendary restaurants? You should visit Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Many regulars have been sharing appetizing stories on Facebook from the following munch palaces. The hype can't be contained now that additional munch palaces are opening up all over the town to satisfy all the voracious gals and guys.
This area may not be the top choice for Brazilians and Middle Easterners on holiday. Snobs like Chrissy Teigen should definitely focus on other markets.
It seems like Coloradans want to keep it all for themselves anyways. All tourists might be chowing into a dish straight from a piping hot grill right now. Or trying glitzy yet fresh veggies and meats.
Many of the ingredients are sourced directly from authentic farmers who work the land not too far from Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The kitchen wizards in the Rockies are renowned for their quixotic attempts to mold supreme dishes from radishes and apples. We've got to be gleeful about their passion for their craft.
These places help satisfy the question: feed me with a restaurant open late near me in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. May we all grub like true Coloradans tonight.

As I said in part 1, the word on the street was that Thomas Schreiner had got Tom Wright to change his mind during their debate on Justification (a greatly exaggerated word to be sure). At best Wright opted to use a different phrasology on a particular (and by comparision, a rather minor) point in order to clarify himself, but nothing of substance has changed.
When I came across Schreiner's article, Wright is Wrong on Imputation, I had assumed that perhaps Schreiner got Wright to admit he was wrong on this central issue within the Justification debate. Nothing could be further from the truth. But not knowing that, I read Schreiner's article expecting to read something convincing and devastating to Wright's theology of the doctrine of Justification. This was not to be the case. It was in fact a rehashing of the same old (and unconvincing) points. I suppose the article was written to reaffirm "Imputation" among those who already hold to it, for surely it could not have been written to convince those who have been persuaded by Wright's arguments!
Schreiner is Wrong on Imputation
In the article Schreiner summarizes Wright's views and then launches on the offensive claiming "Wright's interpretation is wrong and confusing on several levels". I hear this all the time from Wright's critics; that his interpretation is "confusing". Well yeah, it would be to you because you disagree with him. But his view's are not confusing to me because 1) I understand what he is saying and 2) I see it's biblical foundation.
In any case, let's look at Schreiner's main points of contention one at a time:
1. Justification is a Legal Declaration
Schreiner writes:
Wright leads us astray when he says that justification is a legal declaration and hence it is not based on one's moral character.
First Schreiner admits Wright's point that justification is not based on our moral character quoting Romans 4:5 which says
To the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.
But Schreiner believes that because Wright separates "moral character" entirely from the court-room metaphor, he fails to see the "role that Christ's righteousness plays in imputation." He quotes Deuteronomy 25:1 to back up (what he believes to be) the fact that in the Old Testament law court a judge rendered a verdict based on a persons moral character, otherwise the judge would be unjust (since he would be acquitting a guilty person). But the passage in Deuteronomy does not say that a person is acquited because he is morally righteous, but because he has been found "innocent" by the judge. This is an important distinction to be made because to be found "innocent" in a particular trial and having a righteous character are not the same thing.
For example, if a person is on trial for murder and the judge has found that person "innocent" or "not guity" it does not mean that the person on trial is righteous in his moral character in every aspect of his life. It only means that when all of the evidence is brought in, the judge has weighed it and has declared the man justified on that basis of that evidence in that particular case. The man may be found innocent of murder which the trial was about, but that does not mean the man is not a liar or a thief; it does not mean that the man – in order to be declared innocent in the murder trial – is a perfect and righteous man. It only means that the evidence found that he did not murder. The judge does not judge based on the man's moral character, but on whether or not he committed the crime. And this brings me to my first contention to what I believe is missing in Schreiner's interpretation of Justification:
The evidence that the Righteous Judge is looking for in the divine law court is not that a person has a righteous moral character, but that the person has faith in Jesus the Messiah.
I find it astounding that Schreiner (Piper, Sproul and the others) would miss the key role that faith plays in the Justification debate. All are guilty, no one is righteous ("no, not one!" – Romans 3:10). God's not looking for righteous people because there are no righteous people. God is looking for unrighteous people (the only kind of people there is) who have faith in Jesus the Messiah, as Schreiner pointed out:
To the man who does not work, but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness. – Romans 4:5
The evidence which the Righteous Judge is looking for is faith.
2. The Unrighteous Are Clothed, Not Imputed
Next Schreiner correctly points out the rub of the issue: how God can declare sinners to be righteous? Wouldn't that make God an unjust Judge?:
So how can God be righteous in declaring the wicked to be righteous? The answer of Scripture is that the Father, because of His great love, sent His Son, who willingly and gladly gave Himself for sinners, so that the wrath that sinners deserved was poured out upon the Son (Rom 3:24-26).
For Schreiner, it is clear that a persons moral character plays a "vital role in Justification". So far so good because now we have come – at least in part – to the purpose of the sacrifice of Christ. But we need to remember that we have rejected Schreiner's previous premise. God's not looking for a righteous person, he's looking for an unrighteous person who'll have faith in the righteous Messiah. Christ paid the price for humanity (beyond a scriptural doubt) and God the Righteous Judge is looking for the evidence of "faith" by which he can declare a person justified or guilty. We should remember then that the vital point in the passage of Romans 3:24-26 is the role which faith plays in Justification, as the text makes abundantly clear: "As to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus". God is just not by justifying the wicked or by justifying the righteous but by justifying those who have faith in the faithful Messiah.
The point Schreiner is drawing out is the substitutionary death of Jesus by quoting 2 Corinthians 5:21:
God made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
And again in Philippians 3:9:
[That I may gain Christ] and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ – the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.
Now let's put these two verses in the context of Schreiner's overall argument. Schreiner opens up his post by stating that Wright believes that the doctrine of
imputation of Christ's righteousness to the believer [is] an artificial construct, an idea from systematic theology that does not truly come from the Bible.
The entire article has been written to prove that the doctrine of imputation of Christ's righteousness does in fact truly come from the Bible. Now we have come to the end of the article and I am still asking, Schreiner, where is it? Schreiner has assumed that if God declares a person righteous who is wicked that he must impute Christ's righteousness on to that person, but that is an assumption, an "artificial construct, an idea from systematic theology", but where is it in the Bible?
Schreiner rests his case on the two passages just listed, 2 Corinthians 5:21 and Philippians 3:9. And this brings me to my second contention to what I believe is missing in Schreiner's interpretation of Justification:
Those who are declared righteous are done so because they are found "in Christ" by faith. When a person has faith they "clothe" themselves with Christ or "put on Christ" (Galatians 3:27; Romans 13:14; Colossians 3:3) so that when God sees them, he sees not them, but his righteous Son. It is not by "imputation" but by "participation".
Again I find it absolutly astonishing that such revered biblical scholars as Schreiner, Sproul and Piper would cling so desperately to the theological construct of "imputation" rather then to reach for the precise biblical categories which Paul himself reaches for: the doctrine of "in Christ".
In case you have any doubt, read 2 Corinthians 5:21 and Philippians 3:9 again. In 2 Corinthians 5:21 Paul writes that God made him who knew no sin to be sin so that "in Him" he might become the righteousness of God. In case you missed in: "IN HIM". It's that little phrase which all of Wright's critics just keep on ignoring as they continue to reach for the sub-biblical category of "imputation". In other words, Paul only becomes the righteousness of God when he is in Christ, the Righteous One. When Paul is in Christ God does not see Paul, He sees Christ because Paul has put on Christ (Galatians 3:27).
I'm afraid Philippians 3:9 fairs no better for Schreiner, Sproul or Piper because that nagging little biblical category is found there too: Paul writes that he might gain Christ and "be found in him" not having a righteousness of his own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.
If Schreiner, Sproul, Piper and others in the Reformed tradition would begin to put the Scriptures first and reach for biblical categories rather then theological constructs of their tradition; if they would understand the vital role faith and participation share in the doctrine of Justification, they just may begin to get things right.
As Wright correctly points out:
For Paul, "justification" was something that happened "in the Messiah." The status the Christian possesses is possessed because of that belongingness, that incorporation. This is the great Pauline truth to which the sub-Pauline idea of "the imputation of Christ's righteousness" is truely pointing. – Justification p.142

In 2005, programs throughout the state formed the California Green Business Network which meets regularly to share experiences, and promote consistency and efficient operations. The California Green Business Network is a group of local governments operating similar green business programs. Network members collaborated on the development of a database that quantifies environmental benefits, which manages the process from the time a business applies until it achieves Green Business status, and provides searchable listings to allow potential customers to easily find Green Businesses throughout the state. The database accumulates environmental outcome data at the program or state level based on the specific practices implemented by businesses qualifying for certification. The CAGBN currently includes 21 active programs, which collectively have certified over 2700 businesses.
Due to history and experience of the CAGBN, new members can now join and benefit from a well-established network of programs. Joining the CAGBN is like receiving a "program in a box". New users can learn from the tried and true practices of other programs, receive training in establishing their own programs, copy existing checklists, benefit from statewide marketing, and become part of and use the statewide database.
Green Business Programs (GBPs) are voluntary, local government administered environmental recognition programs for businesses that go beyond compliance and implement environmental practices. GBPs develop and customize environmental standards by business type, provide onsite consultation support to help businesses with implementation and recognize businesses that meet the standards. Green Business standards cover a range of environmental issues, such as waste minimization, energy efficiency, water conservation, and pollution prevention. Local government agencies offering GBPs provide free or low cost services to participating businesses ad have recognized over 2,500 California businesses.
The California Green Business Program Network (CAGBN) is a coalition of 21 GBPs in California that collectively represent over 40% of the State. CAGBN provides a forum for GBPs to share information and to set policies that ensure consistency across the State. Since its development in 2009, CAGBN created an electronic system to help Green Businesses track their status and measure their environmental benefits. CAGBN continues to host and maintain the system for its members. While the State DTSC provided seed funding to help build the system, DTSC no longer owns or maintains the system. Currently, the system is owned by CCSF and maintained jointly by CAGBN members through membership fees.
Governance: CAGBN is lead by a Chair, Vice Chair and Secretary. These positions are filled by member GBPs on a rotating basis. For the year 2013, these positions are held by:
Chair: Courtney Lindberg, City of Ventura
Vice Chair: Lisa Ryder, City of Manhattan Beach
Secretary / Treasurer: Narcisa Untal, Solano County
In addition, CAGBN has set up various sub-committees to advance its mission.
All CAGBN members implement GBPs in accordance with the Operating Guidelines. If you are a local jurisdiction interested in joining CAGBN, please review the Operating Guidelines and contact firstname.lastname@example.com .
General CAGBN Enquiries: firstname.lastname@example.com
Enquiries related to CAGBN tracking and measurement system: email@example.com
Review the Operating Guidelines of the CAGBN. It will guide you in your considerations to develop your program and in helping you Complete Your Application. You can request a mentor be assigned to you to assist you to complete your application and to develop your program. Once you have completed your application, submit to email@example.com
Your application will be reviewed by the Network's Executive Committee during their quarterly meeting. They might have some clarifying questions for you or some further guidance. They will recommend the full Network vote to approve your membership approval. The process usually takes a month to a year, depending on how far along you are in developing your program. During that time, you can still lean on the Network and your mentor to assist you.
Welcome to the California Green Business Network! We are pleased to have another green business program in California, and that you have decided to join our network of local California jurisdictions, and over 2,700 businesses.
You are now able to take advantage of the benefits of being a Network member, the biggest of which is using an Internet based measurement and management system that quantifies environmental benefits, manages the process from the time a business applies until it achieves Green Business status, and provides searchable listings to allow potential customers to easily find Green Businesses throughout the state. The database accumulates environmental outcome data at the program or state level based on the specific practices implemented by businesses qualifying for Certification.

text: "About to 'Burn' In NC" wrote: > >Looking for an a/c air compressor for my 86 5000s.. Can anyone help me out. > Sincerely, > About to ""Burn""" In NC I replaced mine (86 5ks) last summer with a remanufactured unit from Adirondack Auto Brokers for about $200. I have the AC Delco compressor, not the Nippondenso unit used in the second half of '86. The new unit seems to work fine, so far, although it is a bit noisy (the clutch rattles -annoying!). Installation is fairly straightforward, see excellent illustration in Bentley. I had the local garage drain and refill the Freon, before and afterwards (cost: $100 -cheap!!!) I removed the front bumper to gain access and visibilty to the area. I disconnected and unbolted the old unit (the tough part -everything is all rusted/gunked together), and reinstalled the new one. The only trick was that while the original unit used all metric threads, the remanufactured one had some non-standard english threads. (non standard meaning instead of 10-32, it would be something like 10-40 threads... roughly, I don't remember the exact thread sizes -you get the idea). The drier is also supposed to replaced, which I didn't.... this voids the warranty. I may do this over the summer, as I have a leak in the system somewhere, requiring another Freon drain. My automotive experience: oil changes, once replaced carburetor on '80 Olds. Total time: about ten hours, including time to drain/fill Freon, and run to several hardware stores for proper threaded screws. (I do tend to work slowly, though -I tend to be particular, cleaning everything as I can, etc. I'm kinda anal!) Comment: a mechanic advised against buying a remanufactured unit, as it is the aluminum housing that wears out. However, this guy was fairly anti-Audi, and gave me an estimate of "over $2000." That'll buy a lot of remanufactured compressors!!! Other opinions? HTH mike 86 5ks

Anyone with a smartphone has likely visited a number of websites that required them to zoom in-and-out and pan side-to-side while searching through micro-sized content. This problem is due to the website not being responsive to the size of the screen displaying it. The lack of responsiveness in websites like these are the cause of much user frustration and increased bounce rate (visits in which the person left your site from the entrance page without interacting with the page). Intentional design and programming methods can be used to address this usability conundrum. The resulting product is a responsive website.
Mobile Solutions
In truth this mobile access problem can be solved a few different ways: smartphone and tablet apps, a separate mobile site, and responsive web design. To explain why responsive design is the best solution it helps to know a little about creating smartphone & tablet apps and separate mobile websites.
Smartphone and Tablet Apps
While this is a great solution for providing rich and engaging content for games, utilities, and books it is often not the ideal solution for a website. Creating an app requires development for each device specific programming language. For example Apple iOS uses Objective-C, C, and now C++; Android uses Java; and the Windows 8 phone uses Visual Basic, C#, and C++ ; not to mention that each one requires the use of their own developer kit. This means that in order to have an app for a website on all major mobile platforms the app would need to be written in up to 3 different programming languages in addition to the original website. This solution will easily cost double, triple, or quadruple the cost of a regular website.
Separate Mobile Website
Creating a separate website for mobile devices is a similar approach to the app solution. This often requires creating an entirely separate website with duplicate content. Since two separate websites are involved the time often doubles when it comes to development, content management, and technology updates. This can result in a beautiful user experience for the target mobile screen sizes but often lacks support for the gamut of screen sizes for oversized cellphones and tablets. Separate mobile websites will usually cost double the price of a regular non-responsive website.
The Responsive Solution
Responsive web design is by far the most cost effective and comprehensive solution. Instead of programming a totally separate website or app for various mobile devices, this solution provides one website that looks good in all browsers. Responsive web design also utilizes fluid grids, adaptive design techniques, and media queries to cover the entire span of device resolutions and sizes. Furthermore, without multiple apps and websites to manage, more time can be spent creating content and online marketing. Compared to the double, triple, and quadruple amounts of time/cost that apps and separate mobile websites can take to create, a responsive website only takes about 30% more time to build than a traditional non-repsonsive website.
Here at Lumné we have found that the most effective way to design a responsive website is from the mobile up. This means that we start by designing for the smallest screen sizes first and work our way up. We design for the mobile first for two main reasons. First, most websites are now being viewed from mobile devices as opposed to desktops and laptops. Second, it is far more efficient to add the core of a mobile design than it is to pare down a heavy/feature-rich desktop design.

Welcome to Relocation Recap, a regular feature on the Health & Wellness Revolution blog – sharing the relocation experiences of people from across the world.
Feeling alone is a common challenge of relocation.
This interview series aims to shines light on the many ways you can feel more connected, inspired and capable when moving from your comfort zone to somewhere new and unfamiliar.
You may well read about someone who faced similar challenges to your own, and surmounted them. As you can too.
If you, or anyone you know, would like to be featured in this interview series, please contact Kylie here.
Welcome Fiona, thank you for joining us!
Where do you live now, and where have you lived?
Fawcett, Victoria, Australia for 18 months, previously Adelaide, Perth and Melbourne. I've had many relocations across Australia.
What do you do, what 'hats do you wear', how do you spend your time, paid and unpaid?
I'm the CEO and Founder of "The Networking Formula" and an MLM/Network Marketing business transformation and training expert. I combine a unique mix of Life Coaching processes and Law of Attraction philosophies in empowering other networkers to transform not only themselves and their businesses, but those of their teams and communities. Currently, I run my MLM/Network Marketing business, a personal development consultancy and life coaching practice from home, and I'm proprietor of a boutique retreat venue and luxury B&B. I regularly blog here.
When not coaching clients, blogging or writing, I can be found on my 50 acre property with my partner Lars – an IT Architect and Microsoft MVP – sons Jordan and Christian, German Shepherd Maia and two rescue cats Boots and Paddy, swimming, playing tennis or motor racing.
What have you gained by relocating?
This property is the absolute property of my dreams that I have been visualizing since my early 20s. I have gained satisfaction from attracting it to me and have created a lifestyle most would envy. The community around us is amazing. Just recently we were hooked up to the NBN on satellite and have internet speeds to rival most capital cities. I pretty much get to do what I want when I want and enjoy my pool, sauna and tennis court regularly. There's just nothing I don't like about living here to be honest. It's been the best move I have ever made.
What have been some of the challenges?
Initially the challenge was definitely internet, meaning client meetings via Skype were difficult. We spent a lot of time at our local café and Library. The second challenge is definitely the distances to travel. My son goes to school in Mansfield which is around 65km one way. He does catch a bus from the end of our road which is 15 minutes in the car. Melbourne is just under 2 hours in the car. We do, however, travel to Melbourne once a week and make it productive time by listening to uplifting CDs or trainings in the car and work on the train.
What have you learned, about yourself and others?
Living in a predominantly farming community and being a vegan and animal liberationist, I've really had to hold my tongue with respect to certain practises that locals carry out, and keep my mouth shut and my opinions to myself on occasions. Everything you do when you live on land has a flow on effect to others and really I've learned that the only way to get things done is to do it as a community. I feel like it's living how I grew up though – knowing everyone around you which I feel has been lost in the cities over time. Everyone cares about everyone around them which has been a really beautiful lesson to learn too.
What would you have missed out on, had you stayed in one place?
I think I would have missed the connection with those around me. I haven't really lived in many places where I have quite literally known every single person around me and caught up on a regular basis. It's lovely and very welcome. When someone is in need, everyone pulls together to help out which I love. I definitely have quality of life where I live now that I have never previously had. I've met and build relationships with so many wonderful people. We've really lucked out in moving to a very small and closely connected community.
Did your physical and emotional health improve or decline after relocating?
My health has definitely improved. If I start to get a sniffle or a cough, I'm straight in the sauna now to sweat it out. I thoroughly enjoy starting my day looking out over my beautiful manicured gardens meditating and walking throughout with the dog off lead. I've never really been able to do that before. If I feel a bit stressed, I just head up to the back paddock with the dog, sit on a log and look out over the stunning hills. Instantly calming. No noise. No traffic. No pollution. Just complete serenity.
What did you do to feel as healthy, capable and happy as possible while relocating?
The moving process was probably one of the most stressful I can remember. The removalist basically refused to finish the job, leaving our old house one third full of our stuff and demanding thousands of dollars extra to finish up. We had little choice as we were very close to our settlement date. My partner and ex-husband spent a 17 hour day moving the last of our belongings while I stayed at home with my 9 year old autistic son and 11 week old baby. Needless to say, none of us were particularly well after that episode. It was a very hectic time but happily it's behind us now.
When and if you experience self-doubt, fear or stress, how do you embrace these feelings and move on?
I don't generally suffer from fear at all anymore these days. I'm very much an action taker. Stress is still a bit of an issue for me – I do tend to major on minors for some strange reason. But I am working with a coach to work through those issues. Most of the time I bury myself in doing what I love and any negative feelings tend to evaporate. I do enjoy meditating, visualizing, reading personal development books, walking around the property with the dog, working out, listening to podcasts, CDs etc to keep my vibration high.
What would you say to others contemplating a relocation?
Firstly I would say to just create a goal of where you want to be. Be as specific as possible, even down to what colour the house is. You would quite literally freak out if you saw the picture I drew when I was 21 and the house I live in now. I pulled it out the other day and got chills. Right down to the fence, believe it or not! Just make a decision on where you want to be. It doesn't matter how long it takes you to get there. In fact, the longer the better, because it will make you appreciate it all the more. If someone had showed me a picture a few years ago of where we live now, I would not have believed it. But it's been worth the wait.
What would you say to yourself if you were contemplating another relocation?
I seriously doubt that I will ever relocate again. Having said that, I have moved every 4 years on average, so my partner is currently chasing me to sign a contract stating that we will never move again. I look at realestate.com.au every once in a while and put in the variables of "pool, tennis, sauna, spa, cottage" (we run a B&B as well) and nothing ever comes up much under $10 million. So I think for that very reason, we won't be looking to go anywhere anytime soon. Not just the money side of it, most of those properties are located in Queensland and I hate humidity and given how raw the moving experience still is, I have no interest. I love the community I live in. It's really the people that keep us here to be honest. We are 18 months in and I have absolutely no plans at all whatsoever. Unless of course I could buy something in southern Germany similar for half of what we paid here. LOL
Anything you'd like to add?
As I said above, I've moved on average every 4 years. I moved from Adelaide in 1992 to Perth and stayed 5 years and lived in 8 properties in that time. I lived in 1 property in Melbourne from 1997 – 1999. I lived in 3 properties in Adelaide when I moved back there in 1999 and left in 2007. Since living in Victoria I've lived in now 4 properties. I've moved around a LOT! But I don't regret any of it. It was costly, yes. But over time I've learned what I do like, what I don't like and now feel as though I am living in the perfect place for me. I would encourage people to move around a bit. Get a feel for different places, different people. Only through doing that will you really know what you like and don't like. I don't regret any of it and would do it all again if I had the opportunity. Even when I travel, I hardly ever stay in the same place twice. I love variety, but think I'll be staying put for the moment.

Inverters & Portable Power Systems
If you are intent on buying a marine or deep cycle battery at some point as part of an inverter, battery and charger system to provide power for your equipment outdoors, then there are a few things you need to be aware of when calculating battery life, capacity, losses and discharge rates etc.
These issues are mostly covered in my sections on inverters, batteries and busking power, so have a read through them to get a better understanding of the different variables involved. You might then want to do a few calculations and see if this sort of set up is the right option for you.
In this section we'll go through the basic things you need to consider and then work through some simple calculations to help you get an idea of how to go about choosing your system.
Here are some units of measurement you might need to know before you start.
Battery Capacity in Amp hour (Ah)
Current drawn in Amps (I)
Time taken in Hours (H)
Voltage of power source in Volts (V)
Power in Watts (W)
Battery Ratings, Variables and Losses
An approximate measurement of a battery's ability to provide energy i.e it's charge capacity, is it's rating in ampere hours (Ah) or amp hours.
So a 100 Ah battery will produce 100 amps for 1 hour.
This capacity can be divided up any way you choose.
100 Ah could produce 1 amp for 100 hours, or 50 amps for 2 hours, 4 amps for 25 hours or 25 amps for 4 hours etc.
Battery capacity (Ah) = Current drawn (I) x Time (H)
or you could cross multiply and get..
Time = Battery capacity / Current drawn
Current drawn = Battery capacity / Time
So when choosing a battery for your set up, you need to know how many amps you will be drawing and for how long.
There are other things that also need to be taken into consideration when calculating a battery's useable capacity.
When you discharge a battery by consuming the power stored in it, you should never discharge it beyond a certain point, otherwise you risk damaging it's future storage capacity.
The maximum discharge level depends on the type and quality of the battery.
A true deep cycle battery from an RV, golf cart or forklift truck etc. can be expensive but should have a discharge capacity of up to 80%. Leisure batteries and marine batteries will be much less at around 50%, but no matter how good the battery is, if you want it to last and not pack up after a few months of use, it is generally accepted that you should never discharge a battery by more than 50% of it's capacity.
You must also take into account, the battery's listed 'amp hour rating time' when you buy it, and the speed that you intend to drain the battery when you use it. These two factors can dramatically affect the battery's capacity. These are covered in my page on batteries.
Inverter losses also come into the equation when selecting batteries. This is also covered in my section on inverters and worked through in our calculations below.
Batteries are usually sold in voltages of 6v, 12v or 24v
To work out how much power you can get out of a battery you can use the equation..
Power (Watts) = Voltage of battery (V) x Current drawn in amps (I)
The world's first manned plane powered by 160 AA conventional dry-cell batteries. Produced by Japan's Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.
Worked Example
Say we were in need of a power set up for a small outdoor gig and we needed enough power to enable us to play for at least 4 hours.
Firstly we work out how much power we will be using at our gig by adding together the power consumption used by each piece of equipment.
I have given an example of how to do this in my inverters guide.
Say the power consumption of all our gear put together is 400 watts rms (per hour)
Batteries become less efficient as they get older and the level of inefficiency really depends on the way you look after them. If you choose to take this into account you can always add an extra percentage (15 – 35 %) to your power consumption needs for a future buffer.
In this example we won't worry about that too much, purely for the reason that we are not going to be drawing 400w constantly for the whole 4 hour event. As we are dealing with live music, the power consumption will vary greatly with volumes and song breaks etc. and as our batteries will be newly purchased, they should perform well.
As stated previously, for longevity it is unwise to discharge any battery to below 50% of its full capacity, even if it is a deep cycle battery capable of being discharged by up to 80%
So if we need to get 400 w of power using only half of our battery's stored energy, it means the full capability of our battery bank should be able to supply at least 800 watts an hour over that 4 hour period. This would leave us with half a tank by the end of the event.
Needing 800 watts capacity to run our gear, and using a battery – inverter set up, we must also to take into consideration the inefficiencies of the inverter, this is explained in my inverter calculations guide.
Allowing for inverter efficiency of 90%, therefore using an inefficiency factor of 1.1 we would need to put
800 x 1.1 = 880 w
into the inverter to get 800 w out the other side.
So all in all, we need to buy a battery that can deliver 880 watts per hour for 4 hours. This will allow us to compensate for inverter losses and to only have to discharge the battery to 50% every time we use it to power our gig rig.
If we purchase 12 volt batteries and need 880 watts for 4 hours, then we can work out the Ah rating of the batteries we need to buy.
Battery Capacity (Ah) = Current in Amps (I) x Time (H)
We need to establish the current drawn (I) by our system.
Power (watts) = Voltage (V) x Current drawn in Amps (I)
880/12 = 73.333 amps
So our battery capacity in Ah would need to be
Battery Capacity (Ah) = Current drawn (A) x Time (H)
4 x 73.33 = 293 Ah
In this instance, you would need to have around 300 Ah of battery power to do the job, cover losses and take care of your battery life.
You could achieve this with 3 x 100 Ah 12v batteries connected in parallel, giving you 300 Ah at 12v.
See my page on connecting batteries in series and parallel to find out how.
You might find in reality this gives you a much greater capacity than you actually need as we've originally calculated for a constant supply of 400w. The noise levels and power used in a live music situation is going to vary greatly over time so your average draw is probably going to be less than you have designed for.
In a live situation though, having a greater battery capacity than you need is never a bad thing.
More Compensations to Watch Out For
One thing you may have to watch out for is your 'amp hour rating time'. This subject has been covered on my batteries page. We will assume the capacity figures we are given for the batteries we buy will be rated under the 8 hour amp rating time and not the 100 hour rating time. This means our batteries' labeled capacities are accurate for our needs as they were tested and rated in similar circumstances to how we intend to use them.
(Had they been rated under the 100 hour amp rating and not the 8 hour time, then we might have had to compensate our final capacity by up to 20 %)
Also, as our batteries are to be drained to half their capacity over a 4 hour period (simulating an 8 hour full discharge) we don't have to compensate for an excessive or quick current drain. Peukert's law suggests that consuming a battery's charge at very high current rates (i.e draining the whole cell in 1 hour) can reduce the capability of a battery by anything up to 50%.
In our case, none of the above conditions need to be considered. As long as you are aware of them, you can take steps to compensate if they arise in future.
The Easy Method
Let's not forget the easy method of doing things. Using a clamp on ammeter, which you should be able to get for around £20, set your equipment up in your own home and measure the current draw on a normal household supply. Use the results and a few power equations to calculate the correct sized batteries for your needs.
Now you know what sort of battery bank you'll need, go and check out my inverter page. You'll also need to find a good charger to keep your batteries topped up.
If you need to step up your power requirements to greater levels, then increase the amount of batteries you use or if you've got the cash, go out and buy your self a honda gas generator.
By the end of my power guides, you should have a good idea of what will best suit your needs.
For time and legal reasons I don't answer reader's questions on calculations or individual set up's, but if you need to know anything about creating your own power set up or need advice on calculations, make sure you fully read through my battery guide and posts on inverters, battery calculations and battery connections.
There you should find all you need to know to help you get started.

Minimally Invasive (Laparoscopic) Ventral Hernia Repair
A. The Condition. A hernia is a weakness or defect in the muscles and tissues of your abdominal wall. The contents of your abdomen (such as intestines) can push through a hernia, causing a bulge and discomfort. Ventral hernias involve the front of your abdomen, and commonly occur at the site of a previous surgical incision. Groin hernias are covered in another brochure. A ventral hernia can be repaired by covering the defect with a piece of soft plastic mesh.
B. Symptoms
- Bulge in your abdominal wall
- Abdominal pain
- Change in bowel habits
C. Minimally Invasive Ventral Hernia Repair. The surgeon will make about 3-4 small incisions in your abdomen. A port (nozzle) is inserted into one of the slits, and carbon dioxide gas inflates the abdomen. This process allows the surgeon to see inside of your abdomen more easily. A laparoscope is inserted through another port. The laparoscope looks like a telescope with a light and camera on the end so the surgeon can see inside the abdomen. Surgical instruments are placed in the other small openings and used to repair the ventral hernia. Your surgeon first will have to remove all the intestines which may have become entrapped into the hernia. This process by itself can be very difficult and time-consuming. After the intestines have been removed from the hernia, the repair usually is done by placing a soft plastic mesh over the hole (the hernia), and stapling this mesh to the surrounding edge of the abdominal wall. If you have a large hernia, then you may require a very large sheet of mesh, more than 12 inches across. After this has been accomplished, the carbon dioxide is released out of the abdomen through the slits, and then these sites are closed with sutures or staples, or covered with glue-like bandage and steri-strips.
Dr. Frantzides was the first to describe a Laparoscopic Incisional Hernia Repair with "dual layer prosthesis" in 1997. In 2004 he published one of the largest series of Laparoscopic Ventral (incisional) Hernia Repairs.
D. Nonsurgical Treatment. There is really no other treatment other than surgery for this problem. If you have a small ventral hernia that is not causing you symptoms, then you and your doctor may decide not to perform surgery on it.
E. Risks. The primary risks of minimally invasive ventral hernia repair are:
- Infection of the skin at one of the small ports sites
- Postoperative ileus (the intestines slow down/stop working for several days)
- Injury to the intestine
- Infection of the mesh
F. Expectations
1. Before Your Operation. Minimally invasive ventral hernia repair usually is an elective procedure. The preoperative evaluation might include blood work, urinalysis, and possibly a CT scan. If you smoke, then you should stop immediately. If you are taking blood thinners (for example, aspirin, coumadin, Lovenox, or Plavix), then you will need to stop these one week prior to your procedure. Your surgeon and anesthesia provider will review your health history, medications (including blood thinners), and options for pain control.
2. Your Recovery. You usually can go home in 1 or 2 days after a minimally invasive ventral hernia repair. You will be given medication for pain. You should limit your activity to light lifting (no more than 15 lb) for at least one month. Your surgeon may want to limit your activity for a longer period, depending on how complex your repair was.
3. Call Your Surgeon if you have one or more of the following:
- Severe pain
- High fever
- Abdominal pain
- Odor or increased drainage from your incision
- No bowel movements for three days

Children learn more about the invaluable NHS with the "Monkey Well Being" Packs
Posted by ReadItDaddy at 9:30 AM
|NHS Monkey Well Being Packs have been distributed to UK primary schools. What an awesome looking pack!
Here at ReadItDaddy we aren't just interested in children's books, but in children's development and well being too. The National Health Service is a service we believe in and back to the hilt so it's been a pleasure to take a look at some details about the NHS "Monkey Well Being" packs and resources designed to help young children gain valuable information about the modern NHS, and engage with fun activities, stories and interactive web pages to enhance their understanding.
NHS packs have been distributed to primary school children, with the aim of heightening awareness and also perhaps addressing the understandable angst that children have about doctors and hospitals.
"Monkey" is the fun character designed to provide engagement, fun and interest for the packs and the campaign.
Other conclusions include:
· Almost two-thirds of schools felt the resources successfully taught primary aged children about NHS Services
· In some cases children were able to teach parents about NHS services
· It was considered exciting and motivating for children and thought to add considerable value to the teaching process
· There was a demand from teachers for additional Monkey resources
· Over half of the schools felt pupils were better informed regarding the appropriate services to use, enabling informed choices and helping to avoid misuse of services and associated cost implications
|Lots to do, lots to see, with Monkey!
You can find out more about the campaign, and the packs on the NHS Monkey Well Being Website:
