I'm not sure if our rotors are a large enough diameter or heavy enough, but I've been in quite a few independant shops that have used them as bases for stands for assorted shop equipment. Weld a length of pipe to the rotor and a piece of steel to the other end, and you have a great stand for a bench grinder. Use a shorter piece of pipe and some angle iron instead of sheet steel and you have a homemade jack stand or third hand to help install that exhaust pipe. Gary -- Gary G.

Mitchell accomplished something that only one other Eastern South Dakota Conference team was able to do against Aberdeen Central during the season and that's win a set, but the Kernels could not complete the match upset.
Brookings won two sets against Central late in the season, but no other ESD team touched the Golden Eagles until the district championship.
Central defeated Mitchell 25-21, 25-16, 20-25, 25-17 on Tuesday in the District 3AA title match at Golden Eagles Arena. The Golden Eagles will advance to the State AA tournament for the 13th straight time. The Kernels move on to play in Region 2AA for another attempt to advance to state.
"We could have gotten a few more touches at the net," said Mitchell coach Deb Thill. "I thought Kerri Young had a great match blocking at the net. We just wanted to slow the ball down a little bit. Aberdeen is going to attack you from all over; from anywhere and everywhere. That's why they have the record that they do."

FKBP12 along the nephron is essential for tacrolimus-induced hypertension and electrolyte imbalance
Document Type
Degree Name
Department of Physiology & Pharmacology
Oregon Health & Science University
Tacrolimus (FK-506) is an immunosuppressive drug often used to prevent graft rejection in organ transplant patients. It inhibits the phosphatase calcineurin, when bound to an endogenous protein FKBP12. In T-cells this leads to immunosuppression. While effective, tacrolimus also causes side effects including hypertension, diurnal dipping disruption, hyperkalemia, hypomagnesemia and hypercalciuria. In an effort to develop safer immunosuppressive drugs and more effectively treat patients, unraveling these pathological mechanisms has become a priority.
Tacrolimus leads to hypertension by pleiotropic effects in the vasculature, central nervous system, renin-angiotensin/aldosterone axis and the kidney. We recently found, however, that the renal sodium chloride cotransporter (NCC) is necessary for the development of tacrolimus-induced hypertension. Furthermore, tacrolimus increases NCC phosphorylation, a mark of activity. The essential nature of NCC in this multi-faceted pathology, suggests that understanding, and avoiding, NCC activation may be the key to developing safer immunosuppressive drugs. It is currently unclear, however, whether tacrolimus is activating NCC directly, or by affecting extra-or intra-renal targets upstream of NCC activation. It is also unknown whether calcineurin or FKBP12 inhibition is involved.
I hypothesize that calcineurin is responsible for dephosphorylating NCC. Thus, its inhibition in the DCT leads to an increase in NCC phosphorylation, which is essential for the development of tacrolimus-induced hypertension and electrolyte disorders. To test this I generated a mouse model in which FKBP12, the necessary binding partner of tacrolimus, can be inducibly deleted along the nephron (KS-FKBP12-/-). I tested in vivo 1) whether FKBP12 disruption along the nephron contributes to NCC phosphorylation, hypertension or electrolyte disorders and 2) whether protecting calcineurin from inhibition along the nephron is sufficient to ameliorate these side effects.
I found that KS-FKBP12-/- mice were phenotypically normal at baseline, suggesting that FKBP12 disruption along the nephron does not underlie tacrolimus-induced hypertension or electrolyte disorders. This also implies that immunophilin-sparing calcineurin inhibitors will not alleviate the renal-component of these side effects.
Conversely, KS-FKBP12-/- mice treated with tacrolimus had lower blood pressures and more effectively recovered their diurnal dipping patterns than tacrolimus-treated control mice. They also had lower levels of phosphorylated NCC (pNCC), maintained a normal pNCC: plasma [K+] relationship (suggesting protection from K+ dysregulation), and were protected from hypomagnesemia and hypercalciuria. Additionally, in vitro I found that tacrolimus inhibits NCC dephosphorylation. Taken together, this suggests that calcineurin plays a role in NCC dephosphorylation and that its inhibition in DCT cells leads to an increase in NCC activity, hypertension and hyperkalemia. An FKBP12-dependent event along the nephron, such as calcineurin inhibition, also causes hypomagnesemia, likely by reducing TRPM6 mRNA abundance, and hypercalciuria by reducing calcium transport across the DCT.
Collectively this supports the idea that tacrolimus-induced dysregulation of the DCT contributes to a host of pathologies including an increase in NCC activity. Calcineurin inhibitors which can't access the nephron may be substantially safer therapeutics. Until then, thiazide diuretics, which directly inhibit NCC activity, will likely be particularly effective at treating hypertensive or hyperkalemic tacrolimus patients.

If you take an early distribution from your tax-deferred account, how much will you
have remaining after paying income taxes and penalties?
The tax-deferred account may be a 401(k) plan, your individual retirement account
(IRA), profit sharing plan, or other tax-deferred savings account.
Generally, if you withdraw funds from a tax-deferred retirement account and have
not reached age 59 1/2, your withdrawal will be subject to a 10% penalty on the
amount withdrawn. In addition to paying income taxes at the federal level, you
may have to pay state taxes. There may also be a state penalty on
an early withdrawal. State taxes are not considered in this example.
Whenever possible, it's generally best to avoid paying early withdrawal penalties on retirement assets. How much of your retirement nest egg would be lost to taxes and penalties if you took an early withdrawal? Note that this example assumes that the account is funded with pre-tax or tax-deductible contributions, and that withdrawn amounts are taxable.
Total taxes and penalties are estimated to be $0.00. After taxes
and penalties, the amount remaining will be $0.00.
There are certain exceptions to the penalty imposed on an early withdrawal. However,
income taxes must still be paid. Consult your tax advisor before taking any action.
This hypothetical example is used for illustrative purposes only. Actual results will vary.
The information in this calculator is not intended as tax or legal advice, and it
may not be relied on for the purpose of avoiding any federal tax penalties. You

International markets were generally weaker overnight, after lawmakers in Cyprus overwhelmingly voted against the controversial bank bailout deal.
Stocks fell as Cyprus's parliament rejected an unprecedented levy on bank deposits, dealing a blow to European plans to force savers to shoulder part of the country's bailout in a standoff that risks renewed tumult in the euro area.
In the US a Commerce Department report showed builders broke ground on 917,000 homes at an annual rate, up 0.8% from a revised 910,000 pace in January that was higher than initially estimated.
Building permits, a proxy for future construction, advanced 4.6% to 946,000, the strongest since June 2008. The Federal Open Market Committee began a two-day meeting today.
The policy makers agreed in December to link record-low interest rates to thresholds for unemployment and inflation so that investors and households know what conditions will prompt the Federal Reserve to consider raising rates.
Gold climbed to the highest in three weeks as concern that Europe's debt crisis may intensify boosted the appeal of the precious metal as a haven. Palladium slumped the most in more than four months. Oil was unchanged after the American Petroleum Institute reported U.S. inventories dropped 413,000 barrels last week to 376.7 million.
The euro fell to a three-month low against the dollar as Cyprus's parliament voted down an unprecedented bank-deposit levy, fuelling speculation the nation's bailout will falter.
Canada's dollar weakened for a second consecutive session against its U.S. peer after Canadian factory sales fell in January, an unexpected drop that underscores the two nations' diverging economic prospects.
Today's session will bring us the latest Melbourne Institute leading index reading, at 10:30am, AEDT.

About Me

Progress: 264/341 pages

4.5 stars
I should mention that I enjoy reading WWII books. Any book that takes place during that time will almost undoubtedly get added to my to-read list. Code Name Verity had loads of positive reviews here on Goodreads which helped shoot it up my list to be read sooner rather than later. After reading it myself, I can understand why it was rated so highly.
The first half of the novel comprises of diary-type entries written by Verity. Verity has been captured as a spy in Nazi-occupied France and, in order to avoid any more torture, has made a deal to give an account of everything she knows to her German captors.
Verity's entries threw me off a little at first as she writes both in the first person, as she details the happenings while she is imprisoned, and in third person, retelling how Maddie and her first met mostly from Maddie's viewpoint. Once I figured out how she was narrating, it became much easier to follow and I ended up liking her method (and her portion of the novel) very much.
What I loved about Verity's accounts was how unreliable they could be. It did not even occur to me how much she could be making up until she actually mentions that she is making names up, to keep up the flow of the story. I will admit that I forgot (and frequently continued to forget) that she was not writing this for us, but rather for the SS leader, Amadeus von Linden.
The second half of the novel comprised of diary-type entries written by Maddie herself. Maddie writes strictly in the first person. We don't fully realize how much Verity left out until Maddie's turn. Maddie's entries clear up both the lies that were told and the details that Verity intentionally left out. Maddie's entries are also the most heartbreaking ones.
I completely loved and devoured this tale and feel everyone should give Code Name Verity a try. This is book is more than just a WWII book. It is about the bonds of a true friendship. If you can get through some of the more technical details in the first half, you are in for a great story.

How And When To Fire Your Realtor
U.S. News powered by Agent Ace will match you with the ideal agent who has the most good results with properties exactly like the 1 you want to get or sell. The act of promoting your home For Sale By Owner has been made much less complicated by a few distinct crucial variables. If numerous of these precautions are hard or not possible, you can always seek representation from a Realtor. What you need to have to comprehend as a for sale by owner is that if you are off by even $25,000 on the correct cost for your property it possibly will not sell! The average residence seller saves $15,000 in commission when promoting as For Sale By Owner.
I have utilised these strategies with a for sale by owner company I owned for four years and achieved just that. My home is ready to be place on the market place, it has all-natural interior and exterior paint colors, and has fantastic curb appeal. If a possible buyer has his own agent, he may possibly not even contemplate a FSBO property unless the owner is willing to pay the agent's commission, according to Mr. Perlson. The point here is that promoting your house For Sale By Owner doesn't have to be super complicated.
Most actual estate agents will gladly give you with a comparative market evaluation in the hope that when you get tired of the approach of promoting it your self, you will contact them to choose up the listing. It is not as effortless as driving by means of your neighborhood and seeing what your neighbors residence is promoting for. As you have probably study, owner sellers are missing out on a large chance if they do not take advantage of the help provided by mortgage brokers.
Fizber is a free listing for sale by owner (FSBO) service delivering a full suite of straightforward to use tools developed to maximize exposure and simplify the home sales procedure. And even if the predicament is not so dire, you may well want to sell your property in order to meet the closing date requirement on the newer residence you are arranging to purchase. The method will take longer as you will not have 2000+ Realtors seeing and potential showing your property to buyers.
It will give you with established tactics and for sale by owner suggestions that will see you obtaining the very same accomplishment as a expert Realtor, with no paying those large commissions! About the authors: The above article Top ten Challenges When Promoting a Home" was offered by the Keith Hiscock Sold Team (Keith & Kyle Hiscock). The next property to sell in your neighborhood will be the best one particular, so you want to make sure that your property is the ideal.

Gene Therapy for Autoimmune and Inflammatory Diseases
199,98 €
Gene Therapy for Autoimmune and Inflammatory Diseases
In this monograph about gene therapy of autoimmune and inflammatory d- orders we have gathered international experts and leaders from different fields to review the state of the art advances on topics ranging from disease entities to vectors and engineered cells. The different approaches described in each chapter take into consideration the biomedical knowledge of these diseases and address the complexities of delivering long-term genetic interventions. Gene therapy also serves as a testing ground for new therapeutic entities and helps provide proof of principle for their potential therapeutic role in animal models of disease. Scaling up from mice to men still remains an important h- dle not only from the quantitative point of view, but also for currently unknown and unexpected secondary effects of the vector or the transgene. Some of these approaches have already been tested in the clinic, but much more needs to be done to understand the human conditions treated and the n- ural history of their pathology. We are indebted to the secretarial assistance of Ms. Lin Wells (Bone and Joint Research Unit, London, UK) and the help of Hans Detlef Klüber for his help in getting this book published. We hope this book will be of interest to c- nicians and scientists and inspiring to students of the subject who will use their own ingenuity and knowledge to further forward this discipline into clinical use.

New Rotherham United boss Neil Redfearn today made his second permananent signing as former Premier League defender Stephen Kelly joined the Millers.
Kelly, aged 32, has signed a deal until the end of the season at AESSEAL New York Stadium and follows striker Leon Best into the club.
Both are in line for debuts against Leeds United, managed by former Millers boss Steve Evans, on Saturday.
"Stephen is a quality player," said Redfearn, who has been in charge at Rotherham for six games. "He can play anywhere across the backline but is primarily a right-back."
Kelly, a Republic of Ireland international, has been without a club since leaving Reading at the end of last season but has worked hard on his fitness.
"It''s great to be here," he said. "Everyone has been very welcoming. It's taken longer than I thought to get fixed up but this felt like the right option for me.
"My fitness level is really high. I always keep myself in shape and I played in a full-scale practice match last week and felt pretty good right the way through."
Kelly has been training with Rotherham since the start of last week.

National Taxpayer Advocate identifies "serious problems" facing IRS
The National Taxpayer Advocate delivers its annual report to congress
National Taxpayer Advocate, Nina E. Olson, released her 2017 Annual Report to Congress today. Per IRC section 7803(c)(2)(B)(ii), the National Taxpayer Advocate is required to submit this report to Congress and include at least 20 of the most serious problems taxpayers encounter along with recommendations to address those problems. Also in the Annual Report to Congress, for the first time this year, is the Taxpayer Advocate's Purple Book which contains a summary of 50 legislative recommendations that are intended to strengthen taxpayer rights and improve tax administration.
Among other issues, in this year's Annual Report to Congress, Ms. Olson addresses the IRS's ongoing budget concerns, and includes the telephone service centers, audit rates, and appeals procedures in its "Most Serious Problems" section. In the preface to the report, Ms. Olson wrote that, "Funding cuts have rendered the IRS unable to provide acceptable levels of taxpayer service, unable to update its technology to improve its efficiency and effectiveness, and unable to maintain compliance programs that both promote compliance and protect taxpayer rights. 'Shortcuts' have become the norm, and 'shortcuts' are incompatible with high-quality tax administration."
The report warns that the IRS's "archaic" telephone technology, along with the IRS's desire to reduce telephone interactions, has the potential to reduce voluntary compliance. Ms. Olson notes that when customers receive poor customer service in other industries, they have the option of choosing a competitor, however taxpayers do not have that option with the IRS but they may decide to take their chances with noncompliance. This could in effect increase the burden on the IRS by requiring more time spent on auditing tax returns.
There are many other 'serious problems' identified throughout the report along with recommendations, including some that require no additional funding. Taxpayer's might want to become familiar with the problems identified and speak to their tax advisors if they have any concerns.

The Refined And Rock-Solid Rhino GX Executive Model Is Ready To Roam
Automakers are building some incredible toys these days. Mercedes-Benz is in the business of cigarette race boats, Honda is dabbling with private jets, and Aston Martin is designing luxury apartments in Miami. Of course, these same brands (or their luxury subsidiaries) still happily provide executive transportation, but a posh car just doesn't compare to an outlandish toy—or does it? Introducing the Rhino GX Executive Model from U.S. Specialty Vehicles (USSV).
"U.S. Specialty Vehicles aims to create top-of-the-line SUVs with the most luxurious customers in mind," said Tim Tang, USSV's chief executive officer. "By incorporating the latest in automotive technologies with first-class interior and exterior features, USSV is designed to bring high-end consumers from any terrain to the boardroom in executive style."

The company's latest masterpiece, the Rhino GX Executive Model, is a four-passenger limousine based on the F450 Ford Super Duty. A 6.7-liter V-8 Turbodiesel—or an optional 6.8-liter V-10 gas engine—is mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission and on demand four-wheel drive system for tremendous on-road performance. Meanwhile, Toyo Open Country mud terrain tires, an adaptive hydraulic suspension, and twin-coil moonbeam shocks assure off-road capability.
Outside, the Rhino GX is distinguished from lesser SUVs by rugged steel body panels, composite fender flares, 20-inch custom aluminum wheels, LED light bars, and grab handles. Inside, a hand-built cabin includes a top-tier entertainment system with a partitioned 40-inch television and intercom, a SmartNav 5 multifunction rearview mirror, a KVH TracVision A9 satellite receiver, perforated leather seats, a custom center console, and exotic wood trim.

Customers may choose from three exterior paint options: stealth black, tactical green, or desert sand—all paired with duotone leather seats. Priced from $330,750, the Rhino GX Executive Model sits in the crosshairs of ultra-premium SUVs like the Land Rover Range Rover SVAutobiography, the Bentley Bentayga, and the upcoming Rolls-Royce Cullinan. Undoubtedly, each of these traditional luxury models will deliver more refined driving dynamics, but the Rhino GX counters with unparalleled personality.

Local barber shops and beauty salons across the city have united to promote Beauticians, Barbers and Books, a new literacy initiative to encourage children to continue reading throughout the summer.
"We have placed books in 15 barber shops and beauty salons across the City of Alexandria," said City Councilman Will Bailey, one of the architects of the program. "We believe the achievement gap begins long before the first day of kindergarten and the Beauticians, Barbers and Books literacy initiative is a way to head that off."
When a child reads a book while waiting for a haircut or styling session at a participating location, the local barber or beautician will give them a coupon for a free Slurpee courtesy of the 7-11 Corporation.
Organizations supporting the Beauticians, Barbers and Books literacy program include Firefighters & Friends to the Rescue, Alexandria City Parks & Recs Department, Alexandria Libraries, 7-11 Corporation, ACT for Alexandria and Barnes & Noble.
"We keep receiving calls from shops that want to participate in this program so we are adding to our list of locations now," Bailey said. "We want to place books in the hands of kids earlier and guarantee that the kids who are already in school are engaged in reading throughout the summer."

While doing the taping for my series on feeding, I observed a number of children eating, and I saw a lot of strange behaviors. But the preschoolers who attended Salimeh's child care home had the strangest behavior of all. There, the children hovered over one of the little girls. "You can do it," they encouraged kindly.
"Just one more bite."
"Wash it down with you milk," suggested another.
"You have to eat," anxiously commented still another.
The little girl looked miserable. She didn't seem at all interested in her food. All the children waited while she forced down one bite after another. Finally, her plate was empty and they all left, congratulating her.
"Salimeh, what is going on?" I asked. "I don't know what to do," she said. "Every night, when Emma goes home, her father asks her if she ate her lunch. If she says no, he spanks her. And every day he asks me if she ate her lunch. Sometimes she eats quite a lot of it and sometimes she doesn't. She rarely cleans her plate. If I tell him the truth, he'll spank her. I don't want to lie to him, but I don't want him punishing Emma either."
The dilemma Salimeh is a familiar one. She was asked by a parent to do something with a child's feeding that she knew was wrong and not in the child's best interest. Parents, like child care professionals, love their children and want the best for them. Sometimes parents' concerns, however, lead them to use feeding approaches that are not developmentally or emotionally sound. The caregiver then must diplomatically approach parents about these concerns.
Salimeh went along with the parent's wishes. Some providers try to change parent's ideas, an approach that often doesn't work. Some providers ignore parents' wishes and do what they think is right. This approach certainly doesn't work because it destroys trust. The solution lies in prevention. Child care professionals should head off feeding disputes with parents by establishing and agreeing on a feeding policy. A feeding policy is a written statement that clearly states to parents what you will and will not do in feeding the children in your program. Your child feeding policy tells parents where you stand and is part of the package you offer. As with other child care issues, it is up to parents to accept or refuse the package.
While reviewing the feeding policy, you can help parents better understand their child and themselves. Today's parents feel considerable conflict about their own eating and body weight. The current emphasis on weight control and dietary changes to prevent disease puts pressure on parents to feed themselves and their children well. Negative attitudes, combined with time constraints, have distorted parents' eating attitudes and behaviors. Today's parents may:
Children Need Adults to Help Them Become Competent EatersEating skills are built gradually. Children learn to like new foods one by one. Spill by spill, they learn to be more skillful in their eating. A preschooler who has learned positive eating at home and in child care displays theses healthful eating attitudes and behaviors.
The Division of Responsibility in FeedingTo help children develop eating competence, many parents and child care providers follow a division of responsibility in feeding children. Adults are responsible for what children are offered to eat, and when and where it is offered. Children are responsible for how much and even whether they eat.
Adults are in charge of the menu. It is their job to provide safe, nutritious meals and snacks at planned times in a pleasant environment. It is up to children to decide how much or how little they eat of the food offered.
Children need to feel in control of their eating. Children eat best when they can pick and choose from the available foods. They need the freedom to turn down foods they don't want, and the support to choose not to eat something they have taken. When children know they have an "out" with food, they can experiment more with new foods than if they feel they "must" eat.
Children are erratic about their eating. Children eat what tastes good to them today. Their favorite food today may not taste good to them tomorrow. It follows that on some days they have big appetites and on other days they do not. But they will eat, if you trust and respect their need to eat in their own way.
Children need scheduled eating times. Young children have small stomachs and high energy requirements. Plan meals and snacks so that they eat every two to three hours. Don't hand out food or beverages (other than water) between scheduled feeding times. You want children to have an appetite when mealtime or snacktime comes around.
Children need moral support to do a good job with eating. Sit down and eat with the children in your care at mealtimes. Be friendly and companionable, but don't try to take over their job of eating. Keep eating times free of distractions like television. Be tolerant of children's messiness; they get neater as they master eating.
Children need time and repeated exposure to learn to like new foods. Children learn to like new foods by having them served repeatedly, by seeing their friends eat them, and by tasting them many times. Providing substitutions teaches children that you don't expect them to learn to like the food you offer.
Children need fat in their diets. The low-fat diets many of today's parents think they should follow are not suitable for young children. Food for children, at home and at school, should have enough fat in it to be good-tasting and be concentrated in calories. It's nearly impossible for children to eat enough low-fat food to get the calories they need for growth and energy.
Children need limits on behavior. Children don't benefit from being allowed to say "Yuck!" at mealtime. They should learn to be respectful of other people's feelings—whether those are your feelings about the food you prepare or their friends' feelings about what they like to eat. Children benefit from learning to turn down food with a simple, "No, thank you." They need the social skills of being matter-of-fact about choosing not to eat something and being subtle about getting food back out of their mouths when they don't feel like swallowing.
Children waste food. When you feed children, food waste is inevitable. A child may take a food and eat one bite or not eat it at all. He or she isn't being naughty. Children aren't very good at estimating how much they'll eat, so they may serve themselves too much. Remind them to take smaller portions and reassure them they may have more. It's hard to waste food you've paid for, but in the long run, children waste less food and to take responsibility for their own eating.
Allow children to grow in the way that nature intended. Children don't grow according to outside expectations. Each child has his or her own genetic blueprint for growth. There are many different, normal body shapes and sizes. Children know how much they need to eat to develop the body that's right for them.
Teaching Feeding, Teaching ParentingWhen you teach parents about feeding, you have a wonderful opportunity to influence the whole direction of a child's upbringing and the relationship between parent and child. If you can help parents tune in to their children, you can help them be more caring and nurturing. Thus, parents learn more about their child in all areas of life.

What If
What if we actually gave every child the same opportunity to succeed? This is something I ask myself literally every day. I've seen talented young people fall through the cracks many times. Sadly, I believe it's happening every year in the United States. This is unfortunate because it denies everyone of their talent.
Jonathon Kozol picks up on this theme in The Shame of the Nation:
There will, I am afraid, be fewer fascinating mavericks, fewer penetrating questioners, and fewer powerful dissenters coming from our inner-city schools before too long if this agenda cannot be reversed.What if each of us were born into different circumstances? Would we have lost all hope?
I was questioned today about some of my views. When I think about children losing hope, I don't ask why should we help. I ask how can we not help. If you have't yet read Shame of the Nation pick it up. Or I'll let you borrow my copy.

How's that for an original title? My brain is mush today!
First of all, I unpinned a shawl this morning and took it outside.
I'd like to introduce you to Earth Maiden by Ilga Lega. I used two skeins of Blue Heron Rayon Metallic yarn.
Can you see the bits of gold in the yarn? This shawl was knit horizontally, so they were some really long rows!
I started this project in October of 2008, and finally finished it on September 24th. How's that for a two year plan!!!
Our long weekend was….interesting. This was at William O'Brien State Park. Minnesota has the most amazing park system!
This walkway was right along the St. Croix river and the pine scent was intoxicating! What you don't see is the cranky family members. Lets just say that there was one kid that was unhappy at all times this weekend. And it wasn't always the same kid.
I got some knitting time in. Not a lot, but that wasn't what I was planning to do anyway.
I worked on Seascape. My mom told me I was going to get really sick of knitting this. I'm not yet, but I'm not quite half way either. She may be right! The amazingly soft yarn is keeping me interested.
So today, I'm getting back to stuff:
We finally did some school shopping, so I have some sorting to do. These kids keep growing!!!
I really could use a parenting class!!! Any experts out there that would like to teach?
Dinner is going in the crockpot in a few minutes.
More stuff:
Dreamboy is now the tallest member of our family. He's 6 feet tall!!!
The Genius managed to do something that neither of her parents ever bothered to do. She made the deans list!!!
My spinning lesson is tomorrow!
Ms. In Charge has her last volleyball game tomorrow.
Frankie was cranky for an entire day of our trip. He's never cranky!
Superblonde has both parents on her least favorite list.
My Hero was happy to go back to work this morning!
Maybe I should change my blog name from Passing Down Crazy to Passing Down Peaceful.

Travellers were escorted from flight BA0303 at Charles De Gaulle Airport, in Paris, this morning.
The incident is now being reported as a "false alarm" by police after dozens of security vehicles, armed cops and firefighters surrounded the Airbus A320.
The pilot announced there had been a "direct security threat" before those on board were ordered to move "single file" onto the runway.
It appears the flight, now more than four hours delayed, will not be taking off and passengers will be forced to book onto a later flight.
The threat comes just two days after three fresh attacks against London and France in 24 hours.

I woke up in the best way today—a bit stark raving. Every thought is a letter.
I drink from a red mug with a chip in it. Wabi sabi, the Japanese might call it. There's a glory in the fractured. You won't find it, in this world, in the perfect. This is, right now, my favorite mug. I didn't like it especially yesterday, and I probably won't tomorrow, having returned to that erking and ever-present worry that I might not be perfect.
The me that wakes up three hours early to peanut butter toast and 1/3 a pot of coffee is the real me. The me that's got it figured out and wakes up with thoughts every day is not. And there's a glory that is not mine in my fracturedness. My wabi sabi. The glory of the broken. I've seen trendy pictures of plates broken and repaired with gold. I am broken and repaired with another's blood. And in looking upon the shards of my so-called perfection, you might see it's crimson smirk, it's ridiculous, loving smile at the stupid child whom it loves.
This is my wound. Drink from it deeply. And I put my lips to the chip in the mug, and I sip more of my whipcreamed coffee. And I type out stupid words that the angels wonder at—not at their profundity but at their stupidity, for what good thing have the sons of Cain to offer? As we shatter our mugs and call them perfect? Is it not only the blooded ones that matter? Is it not only the blood that matters?
And I sip again from my mug. Drink deeply. This is my blood. Drink deeply.
I'm tearing up. I tear up easily when I'm tired and have read things that make me weepy. Yesterday I woke up pissed. I woke up later, but still early, and pissed. Today I did not. Today I woke up bloody.
Perfectionism is setting in. Back to breaking things. I mean writing. Back to writing.
This time the photo is mine. My wife hates that I leave junk on the kitchen counter, but that's the only place I can think to leave it. And that night light—which if on under the LED overheads lays a crazy yellow shadow behind everything it touches—accompanied my morning ruminations for many months.
I wish I could find it, but I read a meme earlier with a pic of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer that said something like, "Standing out only leads to benefit if it can also benefit other persons, in which case it becomes extortion." And that's quite like the idea of the story, though from a cynical slant.
And while I think the idea needs some counterbalancing to be true, I think there's something to be said about how worldly success works. Every person is intrinsically out for his own good. Such was the effect of the fall.
This doesn't bar common grace, nor does it account for the nuances of "his own good," which could also include moral success and therefore non-extortion helps to other persons. But it does speak for much of consumerism.
If I would be successful in the worldly sense, I would be of commercial value. I would be of consumptive value. That's the nature or spirit of the fallen world. So to seek success in that sense is to seek to be consumed, to seek to be commercialized. And I, upon receiving those junk food profits, would ostensibly turn and eat others.
The more I learn about art—not commercial art or The Arts but art—the more I am convinced it's the natural occupation of the godly.
Have you ever watched the sea? I've only really watched it from the shore, and not that even that much.
It moves like breath. In, out. Like the back of a child, up, down, as it sleeps in its crib. A heavenly hand caresses it with cloudy touch. In, out.
Dreams sleep there. Water fairies and krakens and pirates and the sky. The sea holds our dread, and it holds shores.
What are those shores worth? I wonder. Shores of sand and coconuts and spears and trading companies and rifles and gallows. Shores of magic. The cloudy hands hold those too.
From the shore, the stormy sea seems not so stormy. But get out on it… Have you ever felt a strong undertow? That restless babe is but a drowning factory. A toilet. A grave, pulling on you like time, and you tromping and splashing to escape.
Or the calm. You don't meet that on the shore. The shore is always breathing, trading its woody fares for foreign winds and unearthed sea bottoms. And death.
And what is land but death, anyways? Porous, petrified, stillborn Adam. And here we are to work it.
I have never seen a calm sea. I suspect it's a lot like death. No breath, just space for the walking room of your thoughts. We were all made for that place—where the water stops breathing and the wind doesn't wander.
But were we made for that place? Is the sea made for calm? Wet movement upon stone. Waves and waves and restless weight. Like my six year old.
And like the rain to the rivers—beading and dripping down, down, down—all our lives go to the sea. And don't get all uppity. The sky is the sea too. We drip down to the sea, to the very edge of the shore, and we fall in.
I'm not sure if it's time or fate or possibility or creation. It's something, and it doesn't seem to want me to define it. But I suppose that's just like anything God makes. And as I try, it breathes, in and out, and it sleeps and angers and dies.
Life and death are like the sea. But what can I tell, really, from this Adam? Maybe someday, God will walk me down to the shore, draw me by the hand in, and take me down to its depths.

This sent me spinning.
Kind of reminds me of my reaction when reading The Grace Awakening.
Is self-absorption wrong? Short answer—only when it lacks love.
If the focus on self follows a similar model to C.S. Lewis's metaphor about ships, then no. If a person becomes absorbed with the self but does so as self relates (in love) to God or others, then it's as right as actively working with or for others. For instance, recognizing/correcting/suppressing/dealing with one's own anger in order to more healthily relate to a spouse is loving. And what about the person who, in introspection, further plumbs his own sinfulness, with the result of a greater appreciation for and dependence upon God? Sometimes love requires us to become absorbed in self.
However, a person who is only absorbed in self cannot at the same time love. That self-absorption—or perhaps, better, "ego-absorption"—is symptomatic of a lack of love.
Because of his adjectives, I don't think, necessarily, that Taylor condemned the former. The type of self-absorption to which he refers seems to be that of the unloving kind.
As is often the case with "over thinking" or "worry," people tend to define self-absorption by degree. If a person is "too" self-absorbed, it's bad. But it's not the degree that's the problem. It's the quality or the reason. It's the motivation behind it. The man who cries "Have mercy on me, a sinner!" is surely thinking about his own sin. But he is also thinking about God's goodness, and he desires to have the span between God and himself bridged.
It also reminds me of the little I learned about the Ego and Self idea. But as I understand it, Ego is the I, whereas Self understands I only in relation to We. The I doesn't disappear, but it's context is different. The Self is part of a unified diversity of communal individuals. The former is the lack of the love, and the latter is the love—the relationship.
I am afraid of being self-absorbed. To the extent that I become self-absorbed about being self-absorbed. And then I write documents to determine whether or not I'm being self-absorbed or justifying why I am. Taylor could easily be writing about my blog. And, at least in part, the fear of that led to the creation of this document.
A couple thoughts:
As saint-sinners, and assuming the I is the only alternative to love, all we think and do is, to some degree, self-absorbed. Until glorification, we cannot escape it. No man-created thought or system is safe. No man-understood thought or system is safe. We are wholly dependent upon God for anything not self-absorbed.
Learning by Keyboard documents are meant to depict the development of my thought life over time. They include sinful and incorrect thoughts. They also include some grace and some love. I imagine every form of thought and conversation from every person in this age, no matter how godly, follows the same pattern. Indeed, Taylor might as well have said, "I come across people sinning all the time."
I'm not defending or diminishing the sin to which he refers. It's sinful, and the goal of the believer is to love better.
But duh. Really. Of course artists will sin while arting.
But back to the LBKs—Taylor could mean my blog (I doubt it, but I could fit his model), but that's fine. That's part of being authentic and transparent. I don't mean these articles as didactic. They're exploratory.
To the degree that God provides grace through faith, as I work to obey, I will love while writing. And while thinking and learning. And thus to that degree, these documents will lean away from the sinful form of self-absorption and toward the more relational, loving form, in which relationship provides the context, rather than the ego.
But again, Taylor says this as well. #LordSaveUs

"Only worship music is good music."
I grew up with this belief, or something like it. I have trouble responding with any measure of clear-headedness when someone brings it back up, though I have been and am being convinced that valuable art is a much broader category than just worship music.
This is from a document for my novel:
This is the issue with southern moralistic Christianity that requires that all "art" be "Christian" to be good. It's an application of a cultural norm more than a recognition that intent always qualifies morality and that the intent should be "love one another."
Otherwise—and this is not a reason or a proof against this system but a symptom or result of it—a southern moralist cannot accept or interact with other cultures that do not censor the same taboos but that might still be loving. He cannot speak with the Irish or persons from Spain or the Nordic countries, who cuss like crazy. He cannot hang out with the English or persons from Seattle or Colorado (or pretty much anywhere) because he can't handle being in a pub. He can't regard art that incorporates disturbing imagery even when its message is the Gospel.
Indeed, how can southerners interact with the Gospel? Maybe by Lifeway books and movies.
Intent determines moral purity; rules do not (unless they are followed with pure intent). Christ certainly exemplifies this when combatting the religious leaders, whose rules had the appearance of purity but no heart. I think our tendency is the same—to make rules and then forget the heart. And maybe it's a parenting failure, or maybe it comes from losing faith. Or maybe it comes from failing to understand or care where rules come from and why those origins matter. Though it's probably at its core an issue of faith.
I think Israel is a really interesting example. They began with the heart, in Abraham and then down through the central figures. They also had God-given rules designed to cultivate and guide that heart. But they lost the heart, kept the rules, and built upon the rules. Didn't they? (12/13/2017: A friend once told me that the Ancient Near Eastern understanding of Law was more idealistic or prescriptive than prohibitive—"Look upon this law, understand the truth and justice behind it, and apply that truth and justice in whatever way is best per context"; even so, it's pretty clear that the Jews of Jesus' day were of the prohibitive brand). It was culture that they built upon purity, but it was godless culture. The same is true, I think, of much of southern moralism today. And surely other brands of moralism.
The problem for Christians, and anyone else looking for goodness and beauty and truth (may they find Christ), is when we assign purity or impurity to culturally normalized morals, like "(So called) worship music is the only music worth listening to" or "No cussing," "No drinking," "No 'vulgar' media," and even, sometimes, "No nudity." I do not believe anything is necessarily impure. Impurity requires less-than-pure intent.
The standard is love. Not just lack of unlove, but the act of love. If it's not in love, it's impure.
I do not mean that we should disregard all prudence when dealing with these things. Paul talks about this. Don't tempt the alcoholic with the real freedom to drink in appropriate contexts. Don't tempt the porn addict with the real freedom to regard the human body in appropriate contexts. But the reason for those rules (I suppose they are rules) and therefore the only thing that makes them worth following is love. Assigning these rules without assigning love leads persons into sin and wickedness. So love requires that we encourage them away from things that tempt them, until such time that they grow in faith and not be overcome with their temptations as they love.
With this in mind, certainly all bad art, and bad thinking, takes at face value the norms of its cultural context—culture being the things that man has developed.
3/6/2018: If art accords with any particular culture (given that all our cultures, even in the church, are man-touched), my guess is it's not good (stick this word on a scale in your mind before impaling me on my perfectionism). And if you think it's good, maybe you've got some introspection and repentance to do. My only real point here–good art challenges.
Edit 3/7/2018: Apparently astrophysicists agree.

Asustek Computer planning to releases its netbook sporting Google's open source Android operating system.
In an interview, head of Asus's Eee PC division, Samson Hu, said that the company has allotted a group of engineers to create an Android netbook which is expected to get complete later this year. Thou, it is not clear that company will make it commercial, Hu added.
Asus has a lot of experience over netbook field. Company also carries a good knowledge with Android, since it is working with its Garmin to develop a line of smartphone, and some of them will run on Google's Android.
Way back in 2007, when Android was introduced, it was said that search giant is trying to expand its reach in mobile phone technology. Till date only T-mobile G1 is a handset which runs on Android, but things are going to change soon because later this year many smartphones companies like HTC, Motorola and other major cell phone manufactures are expected to carry Android in their handset.
Currently smartphones are ruling the market, and it is Google how wants to get its OS in this wild run. Google also wants to get its OS in other machines like set-top boxes, mobile Internet devices and netbooks. Archos is already prepping to put the Linux-based OS on an Internet-connected tablet, Nvidia will support Android on its Tegra chipset, and Freescale Semiconductor recently added support for Google's OS to its ARM-based processors

Housebuilder Taylor Wimpey said it had enjoyed positive trading in Yorkshire, as the market was supported by healthy employment trends and a competitive mortgage market.
The company revealed that in the year to October 2017, total home completions in Yorkshire increased by 10.7 per cent to 1,506. The comparative figure for 2016 was 1,360.
Ryan Mangold, group finance director, said sales rates in Yorkshire are "pretty much in line" with the previous year or a fraction stronger.
He added: "We are not seeing any discernible shift away from people wanting to get on the housing ladder."
Mr Mangold said housing was a "politically motivated" issue at a local level. He said Taylor Wimpey supported a national planning policy framework and it believes a balance of housing supply is needed to ensure there are homes for professionals such as teachers, firemen and policemen.
Taylor Wimpey currently has 43 outlets in Yorkshire and the total average selling price for the period to October 2017 in the region was £213,000.
In a trading update, the company said it was on track to hit annual targets as it shrugged off industry concerns over a market slowdown.
The FTSE 100 firm said the UK housing market was "positive" in the second half of 2017 and Central London was "stable", but flagged that it was aware of potential political and economic risks.
The sales rate for the financial year to date was "strong" with net cash expected to reach £500 million for the end of the 2017 financial year.
However, order books dipped slightly at 8,751 homes and £2.2 billion, down from 8,981 and £2.3 billion over the same period last year.
It comes after shares in UK housebuilders came under pressure last week following recent gloomy reports from rivals and industry data pointing to slowing sales and prices.
Pete Redfern, chief executive of Taylor Wimpey, said the firm had "performed strongly" in the second half of 2017.
The Government's Help to Buy Scheme and a robust market competition had underpinned demand, the firm said, with annual results expected to meet expectations.
Despite industry fears that this month's interest rate rise from 0.25 per cent to 0.5 per cent - the first for a decade - could add to Brexit uncertainty to put off buyers, Mr Redfern said the group had continued to see "stability in trading patterns".
"Looking ahead, we are on track to meet our full year expectations and deliver further growth and performance improvement in 2018," he added.
The upbeat outlook comes despite a survey from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) last week showing house sale levels are flat or falling across large swathes of the UK.
The RICS report revealed homes are taking longer to sell, as well as a declining interest from buyers amid a shortage of new properties for sale, while asking prices for top-end homes are also coming under pressure.
Analysts from Numis said: "Taylor Wimpey's trading update confirms that sales rates and outlet numbers are in line with expectations, which is reassuring given the updates last week cast some doubts on the strength of the new build sector.
"Overall, this is a reassuring statement with regard to both market conditions and outlet numbers."
Trading at Taylor Wimpey has been strong in the second half and the group is on track to meet its full-year expectations, according to analysts at Jefferies.
The note from Jefferies added: "Taylor Wimpey's trading statement is seasoned with several 's' words: strong, stable, sustainable, but no mention of a slowdown, which leaves us keen to add some of our own: spreadsheets, slam-dunking, silverbacks. Share prices in the sector have been shaky since the silverback selling in September.
"In our view, it is time for the smart money to stock up on shares in the sector and we would single out the superior returns offered by the shares of Taylor Wimpey."

|I have a few real nice stems this year. It's hard to get perspective but trust me they are thick.
The first pic is my stand of L. sargentiae. A lot of small guys with 2 nice ones.
Second pic is some thick Lankon stems. The one on the right should go over 5 ft with 7+ blooms I'm hoping.
Third pic is a really girthy Scheherazade. This thing has one of the thickest stems I've ever seen and the leaves are huge, probably 9 inches plus! I'm guessing it will go over 7 feet this year. I'm glad Judith Freeman threw it in on my first lily catalog order a few years ago. It is a great performer in the garden!

|Nice foliage on some lilies
Lily (Lilium 'Midnight')
Posted by Joebass
This is a nice stem of 'midnight' that is dwarfed by my giant 'Scheherazade'.
This a first year (for me) LA hybrid 'Pirandello'. The leaves are really big and are more reminiscent of LO leaves to me but it does have Longiflorum in the bloodlines so I guess the leaves could have more L influence.
May 18, 2014 8:13 AM CST
|I guess I'm a fan of long narrow, dainty fern-like foliage rather than wider bold type leaves--except in the case of dwarf Orientals. There I think the well rounded leaves add to their overall garden appeal.

Tell Governor Brown: weak regulations won't cut It. We need a ban!
On Friday, Governor Brown's administration released draft fracking regulations. They're a joke. If implemented, they would allow oil and gas companies to frack all over our state, polluting our air and water.
Tell the Brown administration that these weak regulations are unacceptable — and nothing short of a ban will protect us!
Since fracking is exempt from nearly all of our federal protections, it is truly up to the state to protect millions of Californians. But the Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) proposed regulations just won't do that.
The regulations will not:
- protect a single child living near fracked wells from highly dangerous air pollutants that increase risks of cancer and respiratory illness.
- protect a single worker from chemical exposure.
- protect families from contamination of our precious water from the large volume of toxic wastewater that fracking produces.
- protect our planet from moving toward climate crisis that will make most of our planet uninhabitable.
Submit your public comment today to tell Governor Brown to protect California and ban fracking.

1898 - A Tale of the Forecastle. New York: Dodd, Mead and Company, 1898. Original pictorial light blue-grey mottled cloth. First Edition, second issue -- with the date 1898 (rather than 1897) on the front of the title leaf. (Note: ALL copies without a date on the front of the title leaf are merely reprints.) In late 1897, Dodd Mead had a first edition of 1000 copies printed;~because the book was scheduled for publication late in the fall season, the printers were instructed to print both 1897 and 1898 title pages. The number printed with each date is not recorded. It was re-introduced in the spring and listed in Publisher's Weekly on March 12th among the spring publications. Copies of the spring issue were supplied with the 1898 title page. [Cagle]~This tale was subsequently published as THE NIGGER OF THE "NARCISSUS." Conrad wrote this story with the "Nigger" title, but consented to change the title for the American edition (which preceded the English); the publisher's argument was not that the "Nigger" title might be offensive, but rather that the white American book-buying public would not buy the book if they knew it was about a black man. Nonetheless, the original title was restored for all subsequent editions, making this variant-titled edition one of the more sought-after of Conrad's works.~This copy is in close-to-fine condition (spine very slightly darkened, but there is essentially no wear or soil). Cagle A3b(2). [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]
