This is the problem I have:
On Windows Vista Business machine.
I have created 4 identical CDs. They all have the same volume label.
I'm not sure about any possible serial number that I have heard people talk about.
I became uncertain about whether they had all been created properly and decided to check them one at a time in the same drive.
After doing a file comparison of the 1st CD against the same set of files on the hard drive, I put the 2nd CD in the drive and did the same file comparison.
Instead of it taking a couple of minutes, it took about 10 seconds, which makes me think that Vista is caching the CD contents somewhere,
and when a CD with the same volume label is inserted it assumes it is the same CD and just uses the cached contents.
If I reboot the machine and try the 2nd CD again, the file comparison takes about 2 minutes again, which you would expect, since rebooting is going to clear the cache.
Although Googling this gave me a couple of people with the same problem I can't find any info on the caching, and in particular, on how to turn it off.
I don't think this has anything to do with the "Write Caching" which I did find in the DVD drive properties.
Does anyone know how to turn this caching off?
Many thanks in advance....
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
My home internet connection is slow and even disconnected.I have to frequently browse few site.How can I cache it and save to for future online or offline browersing so that everytime my web browser has not to download whole site.
I have tried increasing caching size of mozilla and have already used Httrack for this purpose.
I don't want to configure my PC as proxy or caching server!!
Is there anyway to stop Vista Media Center from caching the files inside a video folder. Everytime you had a video folder it scans the video folder for files. Is there anyway to show the folder listing in realtime without caching or scanning it first.
Hi I installed black and white 1 and whenever i start it its really stuttery, in the manual it says you have to adjust the read ahead cache but how do you do it on vista?I have installed the patch for vista
thanks in advance
After restarting my system today, I started getting a BSOD in my Vista Home Premium machine every 10-15 minutes without having to do anything on the computer.
The BSOD says the following:
check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If there is a new installation ask your software or hardware manufacturer for any new updates you might need. If problems continue disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components restsart your computer press F8 to select advanced startup options and then select safe mode.Click to expand...
The last thing I did on my computer is installing "Adaware anniversary edition", which required a reboot 2 days ago, but I didn't reboot till now. I uninstalled that, but still the same issue. I haven't done anything else as far as I can remember.
I checked the event viewer, but the "error" I find only says that an unexpected shutdown occurred.
I'm now trying system restore in hopes it'll fix the problem, but it probably won't.
Any idea how I can troubleshoot/solve this issue? what kind of information can I post here to make troubleshooting the issue easier for you guys?
Any help is so much appreciated

my problem is that in Master 2 is the original HARD DRIVE Slave 2 CD/DVD Master 3 which is the second hard drive, but BIOS sees it as the same hard drive as Master 2. It is a shadow copy of the 1rst HD and is same size.

I just have a question about this. I got a vista home premium 32-bit gateway laptop. And I see the option to delete DNS Cache in CCleaner. All I'm curious about is, what is that really going to do? Anything major besides make my pages load .2 seconds slower?
In general, it's not going to do anything other than force the system to go out and repopulate the cache as you surf the web.
Also, if the DNS Cache is "poisoned" it can prevent you from reaching a website that you want to go to.
Hi all,
When you load a webpage, the files (images, ...) that the webpage contains will be downloaded. If the server hosting the webpage goes down while the files are being downloaded, then IE's Temporary Internet Files will contain partially downloaded files. When the server is back up and running, and you refresh the page, the partially downloaded files will not finish downloading, and will never be downloaded again. The webpage will never display the files that were partially downloaded, and the only way to fix this is to delete the Temporary Internet Files.
Other browsers do not have this problem. It looks like IE does not compare the file size in the Cache, to the file size on the server, but only compares the date, which is the same.
How to reproduce the problem (for developers):
-create a webpage that contains a big file (jpg, swf, or any file).
-on a client computer, clear the Temporary Internet Files, then start loading the page.
-before the file has time to finish downloading, stop and start the web server.
-look inside the Temporary Internet Files, and you will see a partially downloaded file.
-refresh the page, and the partially downloaded files will not finish downloading.
Note: I tried many different file headers, but it looks like whatever header you set for the file, even "no caching ..." headers, the problem always happens.
Does anyone know if Avira implements any caching technology concerning the scanner? (real time or manual).
I cannot find any answer on the net..
Avira uses a cache.
I have windows Vista home basic 32 bit operating system. Recently i installed IE9 ans now if i open a website after clearing cache it gives HTTP code 200 on fidddler then on second session it gives 304 for most of the request . My temporary internet file setting is "Automatic". I checked on temporary internet files and nothing is seen there. If i do the same in firefox 4 then on second request it doesnt give 304 and content is served from cache and i am able to see the content there in firefox cache.
1). In case of IE9 if content is not there in cache then how it is giving HTTP response code 304 (not modified)
2). Is there any other cache other than disc cache if yes then how can i see the content of that cache.
I recently installed IE9 on my Windows vista home 32 bit. Whenever I open a website after clearing browser cache then on fiddler first time it gives HTTP code 200 for all requests. When i check on browser cache all gif, jpeg, js are cached and expiry time is 1 month. But when i open the same page it gives HTTP Status code 304 for gif, jpeg and js.
Not able to figure it out why it is not picking the content fron the browser cache. Temporary Internet Files setting in set to "Automatic".
With explorer. Copy a large, say 700mb file from folder a to b on a regular HDD, should take 10-15 secs right. If you watch resmon, disk activity, you will see write activity to the destination folder for almost a full minute afterwards. Anyone know what's going on here? I don't have restore (previous versions of files) enabled either.

I have been looking around for information about using a onboard msata ssd as a boot drive for fast start up etc.
I have found information about loading windows directly to this drive (setting this drive as c and lists of ways to move the my music files etc to another partition so that when windows starts it only reads program information. However it sounds as if all or most programs would be saved to the drive not windows only.
Other information has described setting this up as a cache via srt with the cache automatically recognizing whats used most often and storing it there saving the issue of less frequently programs slowing it down.
Does anyone use this system? Do you know of a good msata ssd?
Is it possible to set up a drive as a boot drive and only store windows there?
Can you use onboard msata as a boot drive for windows and another small ssd for srt caching?
Sorry about all the questions a total noob to msata and ssd caching. My mobo will have srt / onboard msata capability and Id like to use it.
If a thread already exists about this please let me know what to search by as I haven't found anything on mSata here.
Found some more info about this pros and cons etc. If anyone interested stumbles across this. To high level for me though ive only ever had 1 hdd or sdd and used ext hdds at home and at work its all servers.

Ok, so my hard drive in ACHI mode does not allow me to enable write caching but in compatibility mode it does.
Should I enable write caching?
Also this whole thing about memory loss is bugging me on what they are talking about. I have a laptop with a battery and mostly has power. But what if power were to cut off or it gets somehow unpluged, will my HD be corrupt? or would that "Word" document I was working on that was not saved be gone, everything else will be fine?
You can read this tutorial from Vistax64 on it. Basically, it's not recommended for laptops without a UPS. I believe if the power were to go out, only the temp. cache would be lost, so like your word document you were working on might be lost if it were to go out.

We use a WPAD file hosted on a Websense appliance and use IE11 on Windows 7 x64.
We are seeing some performance issues with the Websense delivery of WPAD and have discovered that every computer is making a large amount of calls to the websense appliance to retrieve WPAD.dat. (Up to 1000 per machine in some cases)
We have worked with Websense and found that they were returning a 'no-cache' option in the WPAD response header. Via a patch we have had this removed.
However I still can't find a cached WPAD file on my machine that I am using for testing and have checked all the registry entries I can think of related to caching.

I have all my external drives set to "quick removal" option, so I don't have to use the "safe-removal" option.
On my internal drives, I have it set to "Enable write caching."

Guys, hoping someone can help me out...
I'm experiencing a problem when I'm browsing, in that there are Mbs & Mbs being dumped into my temporary folders.
I normally use IE8, but have also used Google Chrome and they both react in the same manner.
Approx 10 mins of browsing, plus a round of Tiger Woods Online can see as much as 150 Mbs be left in either the Temporary Internet Folder or Internet Cache (depending on the Browser used).
I have to run CCleaner on a regular basis, to stop slowdown due to this.
Has anyne else seen this, or can anyone assist in rectifying?
Thanks in advance.
There is an Advanced>>Security option under IE Tools>>Internet Options to Empty the Temporary Internet Files folder when closing the browser. Alternatively, you can reduce the space allocation for the folder under General>>Browsing History>>Settings.Read other 9 answers

I am about to buy my SSD, but I don't know whether I can use the Crucial M4 64GB for caching, next to using it for my complete OS and a game (maybe two, 7 GB average). Because what I would like to do, is put my OS on it (Win7 64-bit) and the game. And then use (a part of) the space left (around 30GB, reserving 27GB for the OS and 3~4GB for the game) for Caching.
Will this work? Or can I only use the Intel SSD Caching on a empty SSD?
P.S. Someone told me I could only use ~20GB or 60GB for SRT Caching, I find this hard to believe, is it true?
P.P.S. Is it true I ought to put the SRT Caching to 64GB? Or would there actually be a difference if I would put my OS and Call of Duty 4 directly on my SSD?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
hmm; Personally I've never seen CACHING to be configurable.
Placing the pagefile.sys entirely on an SSD would seem doable . . .

I have a company network with 2 internal dns servers on 192.168.0.7 and 192.168.0.9.
Using DHCP.
2 problem Win7 clients.
When I run ipconfig /all on both it shows both DNS servers as expected
We have a corporate server on AWS and it's IP address changed on Monday during a restart.
Shouldn't have but it did, so we are stuck with a new public facing DNS name for that server, so we updated the friendly CNAME record to point to the new address.
18 of our 20 internal clients, including Win7, 8 and 10 clients and Mac and Linux clients are all finding the corporate server now using the original friendly name.
But 2 Win7 clients are still not getting there.
On both, if we run
nslookup <friendly.domname.com>
It returns the name of of our primary internal DNS server (as nameserver) and the NEW IP address of the host address
So it seems that the client's base OS DNS lookup returns the correct IP.
If I paste that IP into either chrome or Internet Explorer, I get the correct website.
However, if I enter <friendly.domname.com> into either browser (and Firefox) a different website appears.
I can in Chrome test the dns resolver using chrome://net-internals/#dns which returns a list of addresses in chromes internal cache.
And I can flush that browser dns cache by clicking the "clear host cache" button
If I then try the same <friendly.domname.com> again, the cache list is re-populated with a bunch of urls acce... Read more

I need to know how to turn off read ahead caching for my CD ROM only, in order to read my DirectCD's I have made. Please help me.
Some months ago, I sent an email message to someone from Outlook, and the text of the message was simply "It works!"
I have several blogs I administer. They are wordpress sites. Sometimes when I try and access them, I get a blank screen with only the words "It works!"
I have tried a cache cleaner called CCcleaner, and done all of the other memory dumps that are available thru Windows.
This problem occurs across all browsers, I have seen it in Flock, Firefox, Chrome, Safara, and IE 8, so its definitely a problem within my system.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Scenario: I am trying to hook my laptop up through a VPN so that I can work from out of my office. I start my computer and the login screen pops up. In the past, i was able to just use my domain password to get into windows, then connect via VPN so i could get my outlook email and browse my company's network. Now, just today, when i start my computer and try to log into windows, it says my password is invalid and i should contact my system admin. Is this a problem with the way win xp caches the profile? Maybe there is a time limit that xp will keep a profile cached?
I have to dial-up using the VPN, so, the password isnt looking at the domain because my laptop isn't connected to anything until i pull up the vpn.
Please help.
PS= I am the network admin!!!!!!!
Usually I only see this on newly built PC's or PC's that you have not logged onto for the first time.
From time to time I have seen this occur even on windows NT machines but have never seen "why".
Do you run your VPN as a service? If so have you thoughts about trying to log onto your PC as Adnmin to the PC VPNing in and then logging on as your Domain user ID and password.

the superfetch feature has seemed to stop caching as much...
ive had fresh install of vista ultimate for 2-3 weeks now and Superfetch was filling the 1.5Gb spare RAM with cache data (as it does) , now its seemed to have stopped even though the service is still running...
right now its saying 450Mb cached and 900Mb free ???
Now i was testing it on and off when i first installed Vista to see what the fuss was about and most of the time when it was OFF it would still cache to about the same figures as above but most of the time it would end up filling all 1.5Gb cache (yes even when off)... NOW its been on 2 weeks running and filling up the cache quicker than normal (as its learning) but then from yesterday its stopped filling it right up??? why is this???

Hi there everyone -
My situation's this: got a computer loading roaming profile, server is running Win2K.
As I log off on the computer, this is the error message:
EVENT TYPE: Warning
EVENT SOURCE: Userenv
EVENT CATEGORY: None
USER: CHDICKERSIN\aashraf
Windows has detected that offline caching is enabled on the Roaming Profile share - to avoid potential profile corruption, Offline Caching must be disabled on shares where roaming user profiles are stored.
For more information, see Hlep and Support Center at
So I went to the MS Support site and found this link:
BUT it doesn't solve my problem, because I don't have a share on a separate server, as the solution instructed.

Where is your roaming profile coming from if not the server?
If your saying its on the server but is not shared then I would suggest to make it shared as it should be (not sure how its working if its not) and then go in to the caching and disable it.
i'm a newbie web designer, and i've got what seems to be a pb w/caching. the pb only occurs in IE -- not mozilla or netscape.
what happens is, the page loads and i go to mouse over an image where i've got image swapping set up for a mouseover. instead of just swapping the image, IE does another GET. once the mouse leaves the image, IE does yet another GET to redisplay the image it already had. i can keep doing this ad infinitum, it does a GET for every single image swap, even once it's gotten the image already.
here's weird thing #1: i'm preloading the images. looking at the web server trace file, IE definitely does preload the images, so it shouldn't need to keep GETting them.
weird thing #2: going to another page by clicking a link, then using "back" to get back to the bad page alleviates the pb; the bad page displays perfectly.
now here's weird thing #3: the pb goes away when i completely clear out the cache! if i manually delete all the files in Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 and then go into internet options and do it again so that IE knows everything's gone, then reload the page -- everything works fine, just like it does w/mozilla! no delays on image swapping! IE preloads the images and swaps them w/o doing any more GETs. i was thinking that if it were a pb w/the image not being cached, a sure way to reproduce the pb would be to clear out the cache. in fact, that solves the pb.

Hi all,
Quick question. I have a spare Agility 2 64GB SSD doing nothing so I'm wondering if I can use it as a pagefile drive for my OS drive which is also an SSD drive.
All the threads I've read about this have all been about using the OS drive whether it be an SSD drive or HD for pagefiling. I want to use a SPARE SSD drive to pagefile FOR my OS drive.
Is this even possible and if so, how do I do it?
Yes, it is possible.
The general advice is not to do it, since it can shorten the life of the SSD because the pagefile is written to often and SSDs have their limitations in regards to that.
But things have gotten better: Taking a Hard Look At SSD Write Endurance - Slashdot
It's for you to decide. I say better to make sure you have enough system RAM (8 GB is starting to get into the "a lot" zone for 64 bit OS - on a 32 bit OS, 4 is "a lot".)
I see you have 24 GB of RAM installed. The pagefile still does certain things, but will be used much less than a system with say 4 GB RAM.
If you do it, make sure TRIM command is active in Windows.
All you would need to do is tell Windows to set the page file to the drive, while deleting the current page file. Nothing difficult.

I have a dell laptop that will not clear the cache for browsing websites. The problem is that when I look at one of my own websites online, update the html page and then uploaded, refresh the page in internet explorer, the page doesn't refresh. No matter what! Clearing internet files, history and cookies. Rebooting... nothing works. (using xp and ie 6.0)
Any ideas of what to start looking for?
On another thread I had stated that there will be a performance hit if you turn off write caching for a SSD. But on second thought, I am not so sure any more.
What write caching allows (in my understanding) is to accumulate records in a buffer so that so that they can be written to the disk in one big swoop. That is an advantage on a spinning disk because all those records are written during the same rotation - and there is also only one seek for the arm.
I wonder though whether that brings the same advantage to the SSD where access time to any place is the same - and it is usually only 0.1ms. There would be an advantage if the records were written in larger blocks from the buffer because the SSD's write performance grows as the block size grows. But if records are still being written e.g. 4K at a time, there may not be an advantage.
Does anybody know whether the blocksize for the write operations increases with caching?
Hi whs - I see your point about the "write caching" and the SSD. Actually I think SSD's do write smaller blocks of data even faster than large sequential blocks so you could very well be right.
It would be interesting to run a series of tests with the "write caching" turned both on and off- Checking the Windows Disk WEI and checking the results of some of the disk benchmarking utilities (like HD Tune and ATTO).
At the moment I have my "write caching" turned on.
After purchasing a M5-481T as well as setting up a M5-581T, I wanted to be able to reproduce the factory SSD caching for these models. They both come with 20GB SSD's that are used for both Intel's Rapid Start technology as well as Diskeepers ExpressCache. After quite a bit of research, I became underwhelemed with Acer's support and provided downloads. While setting up these laptops, I did create the Drivers and Applications DVD's before blowing away the default build. These did not contain the ExpressCache software, nor did the download website. I even called Acer asking for support and I was told that with these models, the SSD drives are not used for caching only for the Rapid Start. The technican I spoke with was adamant about this. To make a long journey short, I was able to figure out how to replicate the default SSD caching in addition to the Rapid Start that comes on the default build of these devices. This should be handy for people that are trying to do clean installs for various reasons. The key to this is to have the ExpressCache software from the default build. The software is licensed to the OEM system builders and without it the software doesn't work. Fortunately for us, if you have the files then your golden.

All. I have an annoying problem. I use my Vista PC for image editing and organization. I browse to these files quite often, and they are arranged in a very hierarchical directory structure with folders on top of folders to keep everything nice and neat.
Many times, I will need to perform an edit that I require assistance from the internet on. So I fireup my trusty browser, drop down what I expect to be the internet browsing history to visit a trusty resource that I recently visited, only to find that my @#%@^%ing local browsing history has almost completely populated this list. Check it out:
I have been desperately searching for a solution to this problem for almost 2 years now, and NOBODY seems to know how to separate local file system browsing from Internet Explorer browsing. Does Vista Forums? I might have even asked this question before here. I have searched many forums for "local browsing IE7" or "no local browsing cache" or "delete local browsing history". I know you can vaporize this by simply clearing the browser history, but regardless of MS insistence, IE is not explorer.exe, and I don't understand why they tried to make it so in this respect.
I want to use Explorer for local browsing and IE for the internet. Are there 3rd party file system browsers available for Windows that WON'T cache local browsing? There MUST be away to prevent this from happening. I'm losing my @#[email protected] mind over this
I have the same issue. I have looked high and low for an answer and I hope someone here can supply the answer.Read other 5 answers
Is there any means of instilling Floppy Disk Caching in Windows XP?
I.e., anything similar to (pre-NT/2000/XP) SMARTDRVs option to cache floppy disk drives?

Hello ladies/gents, I've got a rather frustrating problem which I'm hoping somebody can help me with.
The Company which I work for has recently acquired a hosted web security solution, which acts as a web proxy amongst other things.
We have got a DNS CNAME setup which refers to one of our webservers as 'wpad', and when IE is configured to 'automatically detect settings' - wpad is accessed and the proxy settings are obtained from the wpad.dat file which lives on our webserver.
The wpad.dat file contains proxy exceptions and rules which are generated by the hosted web security system.
The hosted solution which we're using requires that all users login from a known IP address - which is fine for our office users, but is causing problems for remote users. The default behaviour of IE is that if WPAD is not reachable, then proxy settings will be ignored and the user will be allowed directly to the internet - but unfortunately the wpad file is being cached on the local laptops causing the users to be blocked from the internet (as they're not from a known IP).
I've written a .bat script which runs a simple del \wpad*.dat /s command which the users can use to clear the cached file - but I'd like to prevent IE from caching the file in the first place!
I found a Microsoft article here: How to disable automatic proxy caching in Internet Explorer which unfortunately doesn't work for us. I setup a test GP object and performed the change manually to the registry, neither had an ... Read more

Pork tenderloin can be lean enough to star in a low-fat dish of style and taste, especially if the recipe also includes some of the fruity elements that complement pork so well.
The ingredient list for this fruited pork tenderloin dish includes raisins and dates, but almost any other dried fruit will work, say the editors of Cooking Light magazine who have compiled a fall 2004 special edition. The publication, "The Best of Cooking Light: Quick and Easy Around the Clock" ($4.99), features this recipe among 115 others, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Recipes are arranged to make up 25 menus, and they're packaged with a variety of kitchen tips and shortcuts.
Most of the recipes easily can be made in less than half an hour. The editors point out that the tenderloin in this recipe cooks quickly because it's sliced.
Suggested side dishes for the pork are wild and white rice blend, and brussels sprouts.

China has yet to allow Malaysia to import whole durians into the country, it was clarified today.
China, however, gave special permission for the import of 3.8 tonnes of durians, with their shells, for use during the Malaysian Durian Festival 2017 held in Nanning from Nov 3-5.
This was stated in a statement issued by Robin Wong, the durian festival's special coordinator, and festival organiser Dominic Su.
In a statement, they said it was therefore untrue that 20 containers of Musang King durians sent to China were rejected and sent back to Malaysia due to alleged high insecticide content.
They said such messages, spread through social media, were totally "unjustifiable, unsupported, unwarranted and inaccurate".
"We don't know the intention of this unwarranted claim. But as the organisers of the durian festival, we feel compelled to clarify what we know to stop the further spread of these unjustifiable false claims.
"These may negatively affect the proper marketing of our quality agriculture produce, including durians.
Both of them urged the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to look into this issue and take the necessary action in identifying the irresponsible culprits behind spreading this unwarranted claim.
Fama director-general Ahmad Ishak said last month that the export of Musang King durians last year had surged to RM60 million compared with RM33 million in the previous year.
He added that Fama was targeting RM70 million in durian exports to China.
"We expect exports to China to increase 10% by the end of this year," he said.

Ratings for Amy L. Gentry
the best doctor i have ever used...she goes beyond the call of duty and is willing to offer to lookup medical info right in her office in her medical books, so that tells me, she really does care. now days, we get docs who want a paycheck, prestige, and the social status, but could care less about their patients well being. She is not easy to get into! She only takes those patients that are for real, have real pain, no record, and not a single suspicion of becoming an addict...so, while she spends two months checking your records, if your serious about the best pain specialist in the business, then trust me, the wait is worth it. Even though she also struggles with her own illness, she still shows up on time and every single date I schedule! Her staff is professional and most of the time happy.
Excellent health care. Very careing and understanding. Takes the time to listen to you as a person. She has saved my life many times and I can honestly say I would not be alive had a friend not recommended her to me. If you want someone treating you that cares.... See Miss Gentry!

Looking for restaurants open on Christmas?
Reviews from Restless Tech
We were escorted into the main dining area which is done in a rustic Italian style with iron fixtures, a faux stone wall and a mammoth tree in the center of the large main dining area...
The restaurant is lovely with an elegant bar as you enter that is well stocked with primarily Italian wines. Wood, stone and brick are the primary elements with a touch of marble here and there for some accent...
Mack and Kates is tucked on the corner of a multi-use area just past the intersection of Moores Lane and Franklin Road. Condos are cheek to jowl with restaurants and retail and it is all wrapped up with a bow.
Chef Kristen Gregory has put together a really interesting and eclectic restaurant in the building that used to hold Sylvan Park in Green Hills. Long on kitsch and strong on flavor she has scored a funky fresh hit at the bend in Bandywood. High on my list for a night out unless you are looking for something private and quiet!
The inside of the restaurant was clean and crisp with a small, classy wooden bar and a couple performing standards to add to the ambiance. The linens were pressed and everything was laid out elegantly, in carefully aligned rows which spoke of precision and care.
The grits were not terribly cheesy, and again, a touch dry, but they had a very interesting finishing flavor of jalapeno. My daughter made rapturous noises over the hush puppies and growled at me when I tried to take a bite of one
The tuna was fresh, tasty and cooked well. I really liked the horseradish mustard sauce and the soy sauce had a citrus/ponzu twist on it that I couldnt quite put my finger on, but it was likewise tasty.
Once inside the converted warehouse the industrial chic interior makes clear its homage to the area that Serpentine serves so lovingly. The ceilings are high and unfinished with the existing sprinkler works visible to the eye.
Restaurant week in Nashville marked the opening of Germantown East. Like its namesake it features casual decor, a simple, high quality menu and a great view of the Nashville skyline.
The restaurant was small and well-kept with a traditional sushi counter and a man and woman team that I strongly suspect were a married couple running the place. There were probably about 10 tables in the establishment.
The Rosepepper Cantina is one of those trendy, but not pretentious, eateries on the East side of Nashville. It has the place of pride as one of the instigators of the rebirth of this side of town.
The homemade chips were a decadent pleasure, but I would have preferred more blue cheese crumbles and a bit less of the bechamel sauce. The serving size was ludicrous and we did not even make a dent in the serving.
The dining room is warm and dimly lit and obviously themed around the restaurants love for wine. I was there scouting the place as a potential date spot for a night out with my wife and I liked the feel of the place immediately.
Right on 23rd and just past the FSU extension campus, G Foleys is set in a neighborhood that doesnt really look like it would house a fine dining establishment.
The great thing in this instance is that Table 3 was less than a 100 yards from the theater that we dropped our daughter at for internment. Tucked on the north side of the Mall just outside of the Regal Theater, Table 3 brings a little bit of French charm to the neighborhood.
It is a conundrum. Can a restaurant that has pulled pork, collard greens and catfish on the menu really be an Italian restaurant?
Yes, it is a bit strange that I am reviewing a fast food restaurant, but this particular one is a decadent pleasure for me. In-n-Out Burger is a Western US chain with just over 250 locations spanning California, Arizona, Nevada and Utah.
An evening in Louisville gave me the opportunity to try a new place to dine. Decca is not just new to me, but truly new to the area. They have been open since March 15th of 2012 and are headed up by a pair of chefs from San Francisco.
The Southern is an extension of the restaurant and catering company of Tom Morales. With brands like Loveless Cafe and Saffire and his own TomKats catering company its not like he has to prove anything to anyone. To me though, the Southern looks to be his way of making a statement.

You can never go wrong with a stroll along the beach. Loved this.
This trail offers a picturesque view of the bay and downtown Seattle. But the constant traffic noise is somewhat irritating.
The views.
I have a SUPER RAD group of friends that bike this once a week for a casual, chill ride and catch up time with friends! So many fun mems! ♡ :)
Teal S on Alki Trail
Can beat the constant view.
Nice city scenery. Excellent views of the Seattle Skyline!
Nice view on the bay
Love it..
My reward is treating myself to delicious meal at Salty's Restaurant. Multi use trail, year round
Great trail and beach, coupled this with water taxi ride, hike up Capitol Hill to St James Cathedral and back through Pike Place Market. Beautiful views I absolutely love this walk.
Great for a night out!!!
Nice easy stroll in the afternoon. Great views of the city, cascades, olympics and my rainier. Very crowded on a nice day however with bikes skateboards and joggers.
Abigail S. on Alki Trail
I've never walked the whole trail through, I just walked a little section of it. This is a nice break from the typical urban Seattle, however it is still quite busy and slightly over-rated. This trail is nice for a stroll or for a run.
This is a great walk on flat and paved sidewalk the whole way. We went 6 miles from starting point out and back. Lots of people today, 5/25/2015, but I can see this would be very crowded during the summer months.
I live in Burien and this is my favorite stroller friendly walk around the area. You can start off in the large parking lot directly across the water from Seattle and end up at Alki Beach. Altogether it is a 3.4 mile walk or run with a 0% incline. The view is gorgeous on a sunny day.

How can Chemistry tutoring help you?
Chemistry is a foundational subject in science. This means that if you wish to progress any further in science you must first understand chemistry. Chemistry is often a general education requirement as well. So even if you are not planning on majoring in a science related subject, there is a decent chance that you will have to take and pass a chemistry course at some point in your academic career. Luckily for you, chemistry is a fascinating subject. Chemistry focuses on combining and separating substances in order to form different substances. Chemistry also provides insight into how our world works because it involves studying matter, atoms, and elements, which is what our world is made up of.
While chemistry may be interested, there is no denying that it is a difficult subject to understand. There is a lot of memorization and math involved. There is also a lot of complex topics, such as Boyle's Law, the Beer Lambert Law, and Le Chatelier's Principle. But even if you are having trouble with chemistry, you are still in luck. Working with a private chemistry tutor can be your own personal talisman. Varsity Tutors could help you locate an independent tutor in Orange County experienced in helping students prepare for chemistry.

Finally a state insurance commission resisted the titans of health insurance and said no to the merger of Highmark and Independence Blue Cross. Pennsylvania voted in favor of competition, access, and free markets. At the same time we have a Nation and a new administration sold on national health care as a solution to the health care crisis. Just the opposite is true. National health care will lead to rationing, decreased quality, increased and hidden costs, no competition and no options. Everyone will have public healthcare like public transportation. Is that what we want? What will national healthcare solve? Thankfully the keystone state voted for competition, options, and dare say free markets. Our nation and the new Obama administration should take heed in Pennsylvania's leadership.

PA Denies Blue's Merger in Favor of Competition – What about National Healthcare?Friday, January 23rd, 2009
Right on the MessageSaturday, January 17th, 2009
Our mission is to that every American have free and open counsel from the doctor or healthcare practitioner of their choosing unrestricted by third party or govermental restrictions or mandates in order to make the best healthcare decisions in accordance to and in respect for their values and available resources.
Further more we strive so that doctors and other healthcare counslers be free to express their counsel and professional judgement that respects their values and professionalism within the confines of their professional license regardless of additional third party or governmental restrictions, mandates, coverage limits, and legal interferrence.
We do not wish for patients or doctors to be dependent on and/or subject to govermental subsidies and subsequent control, but rather to empower and free doctors and patients to contract together in their best interests unencumbered by third parties or government. In so doing we can meaningfully direct healthcare services efficiently and control costs while supporting patient responsibility and doctor accountability to each other and the dignity we all deserve in our rights as free Americans.
Rationing healthcare already before they take over?Wednesday, January 14th, 2009
Tom Daschle future secretary of HHS plans to emulate the
United Kingdoms National Health Service as blueprint for American Socialized Medicine. The promise not to ration healthcare is already scheduled to be broken as
Britains NICE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) routinely decides which procedure is cost effective for the state and bans those that fail a bureaucrats test. When forced to make a choice, the bureaucrat will favor his employer, the State. Do you folks interpret this from the article as I do?
Tom Daschle's Plan for Health Care Rationing
How the new health czar would save money by limiting careRonald Bailey | December 23, 2008 http://www.reason.com/news/show/130726.htmlPresident-elect Barack Obama has nominated former Sen. Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) to become the new Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Servicesa.ka., the new "health care czar." Since losing his Senate seat 2004, Daschle has been promoting health care reform proposals. His most comprehensive plan is outlined in his new book Critical: What We Can Do About the Health Crisis. One of Daschle's more ambitious proposals is the creation of a Federal Health Board (Fed Health) modeled loosely on the Federal Reserve Board. Like the Federal Reserve, Daschle's Fed Health "would be composed of highly independent experts insulated from politics." One of the central goals of Fed Health would be to compare the effectiveness of various medical procedures and drugs. Daschle asserts that such research into comparative effectiveness would produce substantial cuts in health care costs. For example, in Critical, Daschle argues that Fed Health "could help define evidence-based health benefits and lower overall spending by determining which medicines, treatments, and procedures are most effectiveand identifying those that do not justify their high price tags." Daschle adds, "We won't be able to make a significant dent in health-care spending without getting into the nitty-gritty of which treatments are the most clinically valuable and cost effective. That means taking a harder look at the real costs and benefits of new drugs and procedures." Notice that Daschle is conflating two kinds of comparisonsclinical effectiveness and cost effectiveness. Determining clinical effectivenessthat is, comparing different treatments to find out which ones work betteris certainly an appealing idea. After all, no patient would want an inferior treatment when a better one is available. However, determining cost-effectiveness is a much more fraught activity. How much is an extra few months of life worth? How much more should be spent on treatments that have fewer nasty side effects? Daschle explicitly models his Fed Health on
Britain's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). NICE evaluates treatments for both clinical and cost effectiveness. A treatment may be clinically beneficial, but patients may not get access to it through
Britain's National Health Service (NHS) if NICE determines that it's too expensive. But will comparative effectiveness research really reduce health care spending, as Daschle claims? Not by much and not soon, according to a 2007 report by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), if the research is limited to comparative clinical effectiveness. Why? Because obtaining comparative effectiveness information costs money, too. To get a preliminary estimate of the benefit/cost ratio of comparative effectiveness research, the CBO used as its starting point a 2008 bill in the House of Representatives which would have established a Center for Comparative Effectiveness Research. The CBO calculated that the new Center's outlays would amount to $2.4 billion over 10 years. Then the CBO estimated that Medicare and Medicaid would save a total of $1.3 billion through reduced expenditures as a result of the comparative clinical effectiveness research. Spending money on comparative effectiveness research would cost $1.1 billion more than it saves the federal government over the next ten years. These amounts are tiny in comparison to the $2.3 trillion that Americans spent on health care in 2007.The CBO concludes, "Generating additional information comparing treatments would tend to reduce federal health spending somewhat in the near termbut the effect may not be large enough to offset the full costs of conducting the research over the same period of time." In other words, determining comparative clinical effectivenessdetermining that certain treatments are better otherssimply will not result in big health care savings. But what about cost-effectiveness comparisons? That could indeed save the feds some money, but only at the price of limiting patients' access to medical treatments. Let's look again at how
Britain's NICE operates. According an article in the November 6 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, "NICE considers treatments cost-effective if their cost-effectiveness ratio is £20,000 ($34,000) per QALY (quality adjusted life year)." If an action gives a person an extra year of healthy life expectancy, that counts as one QALY. How does this work out in practice? Currently, NICE appears ready to rule out four new effective treatments for kidney cancer because they merely double patients' life expectancies from six months to a year. As
University oncologist Tim Eisen explained, "If an intervention which doubles progression-free and overall survival in a disease where nothing else works is deemed to be cost-ineffective, the chances of introducing any new cancer medication must be deemed remote." If NICE rules against the new anti-cancer drugs, British kidney cancer patients will have access only to a treatment that is 20 years old and which works in 10 percent of patients. On the other hand, by paying only for the older treatment, the National Health Service will save British taxpayers some money. Basically, NICE determines when the good of society outweighs the benefits to individuals. The result is that British NHS patients don't have access to many treatments available in the
U.S., including clinically effective drugs for Alzheimer's, colon cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis. NICE is a way to administer centralized bureaucratic rationing. Daschle avoids using the "R-word" in his book, and he expresses irritation when asked about it. According to the Black Hills Pioneer, Daschle recently said, "A myth is that we don't ration. We ration in the worst possible way, on the inability to pay." Of course, the converse formulation is that we "ration" based on the ability to pay. Most people don't think it's "rationing" when someone pays more for a bigger house, a faster car, or a fancy restaurant meal. In the health care context, it means that some fortunate people are still free to choose to pay for treatments they and their physicians think may benefit them. The CBO report makes it clear that comparative clinical research won't significantly cut health care costs. The upshot is that Daschle's Fed Health would be able to cut costs only by limiting access to care. Daschle wants to apply Fed Health's cost-effectiveness recommendations to all federal health care programs (about 45 percent of all
U.S. care expenditures). In addition, he suggests that the federal tax exclusion for health insurance would be retained only for insurance that complies with Fed Health's recommendations. Ultimately, Daschle's talk of comparative effectiveness research is just a smokescreen for a plan to establish bureaucratic centralized health care rationing.

Thanks for the pointers. I'm trying water-cooled copper capillary tubing right now, to see how that holds up. After all, that's how it worked in industry. The electrodes are holding up somewhat, but there are a few things that I need to adjust in the arc. I'm not spreading the arc far enough yet, and the current is being concentrated too much in certain areas of the electrodes. Aside from that, the water is keeping them cool. I'm using a DI water supply right now, with no recirculation (just runs down the sink). Water runs through the positive electrode, and exits through rubber tubing to the negative electrode. The water is not even warm as it exits.
As I ponder my previous post, I realized that I completely missed something obvious. In the original Birkeland-Eyde reactor design, the supply voltage was 5000VAC, at something like 40A. This is, of course, for a full sized reactor. The current limiting was provided by inductive ballast.
This inductive ballast causes the arc voltage to swing not only below, but above the supply voltage. Think of the arc as if it were a MOSFET in a flyback converter. When the FET is on (low arc voltage), the inductor charges up. When the FET turns off (arc blown out to the edge of the reactor), the inductor dumps its energy through the load resistance. If the load resistance is very high, then the voltage across the FET (arc voltage) can rise to very high levels, at least until the FET avalanches (arc voltage in this case may rise to 10's of thousand of volts). This is a weak analogy, and what is happening in the arc is more complicated than this, but it's the general idea.
Up until now I have been using a 150VDC supply that is current limited to 3A, and with 30 ohms of ballast resistance. Since there is a large output capacitor on the power supply, the voltage does not rise fast enough when the supply goes into current limit. Using the ballast resistor gives a much more stable arc for this reason. Arc spreading is accomplished with an electromagnet that is driven from 10-60Hz AC. The electromagnet core is ground to a point, like in the original reactors. Since I am using a ballast resistor, not an inductor, the arc voltage can never rise above 150V. Resistors don't store energy like inductors do.
The next order of business is to calculate what kind of ballast inductor that I need. It will be determined by load current, electromagnet frequency, and efficiency, among other things. Hopefully my 1cm diameter arc will spread to a 10cm arc with this modification.
Once I get certain issues ironed out, I'll probably start posting pictures.

Will it work?
the titanium dioxide on carbon will take the hydrogen from the water ?
and the flyback can be placed in the magnetron ?
I saw that the magnetron has an input of 4000 volts, the flyback has in its output 30 000 volts, as there is no coil or electronic part within the magnetron believe he can mutiplicar this value?
please help me

articles on dielectric barrier discharge
Hi I've found two neat articles that may be of interest to those designing plasma generators for both nitric acid and sulfuric acid. The articles focus on dielectric barrier discharge plasmas as they are supposedly more efficient and less hot than open-arc typical Birkeland-Eyde reactors.
edit: and the arc being less hot allows more generation of NOx without it dissociating and being destroyed from excessive heat.

axehandle you are without doubt a fucking idiot.
Can you spell "humor" and "irony"?
Its very easy to get blase about NO2. Familiarity breeds complacency, particually when you havnt read the safety data.
You can breathe in NO2 and feel as if youve got away with it, normal, undamaged. Then 8 hours later, up to a day or two, you can drop dead of pulmonary edema. At lesser doses NO2 does largely unnoticed but long term damage to the rather fragile lung tissue. This is not simply caused by the acid NO2 forms as it dissolves with water, its a very reactive free radical - also why its paramagnetic and dark brown.
Well, I've read up on it now, after a very nice person warned me without calling me "a fucking idiot". Apparently it is much more dangerous than I previously thought. I know that now. I'm not senile yet.
You might want to save on you "fucking idiot"s's. People tend to stop reading what you write after you start the childish name-calling.
The thing about people that taste chemicals or test for high voltages with their fingers or hang around neer lit fuses, when everything goes fine people say 'hes, crazy' 'he must be insane' and then grin, and when things go wrong they say 'Oh shit, that was unlucky' or 'he shouldnt have done that' when what they really mean in both cases is 'what a fucking idiot'.
I don't test for high voltages with my fingers, nor do I use fuses at all. I always (fior my rocket engine tests) use electrical ignition with a very long cable hooked up to an apparatus with TWO safety switches.
Nor will I ever "taste test" nitric acid again. Have you heard about learning from one's mistakes?
While in the long run it makes no difference if you kill yourself or when, there will be a lot of other people reading this thread that will assume you know what you are talking about. If you adopt a lax attitude to NO2, they will assume this is acceptable. It isnt.
It's not my responsibility what other people think. And my "lax" attitude is part of my humor, which you obviously don't get. You must be a very boring person, OR there's something wrong with my humor.
Aparently high school physics is letting you down. An arc is a low conductivity path through the air, its low conductivity becuase its hot and (partially) ionised which the current maintains. Hot air rises becuase its less dense than the surrounding air and when it rises it pulls the arc with it since this is the path of least resistance. The arc is rising with the air, not through it. Trimming the ladder until the arc does not break solves a lot of problems, and combined with a static vertical magnetic field should increase yeild substantially (particually concentration in air making it easier to produce better nitric).
That's why the air is pumped in TANGENTIALLY, so that the arc will contact more (turbulent) air than if it where intruduced AXIALLY (w.r.t. the ladder).
I have already discarded, dumped, ditched a static arc, since it would require electrode cooling.
"I AM going to "recycle" some of the NO2 by feedback. "
No, dont do this, it would be bad.
Air passing into the arc comes out with a concentration of nitrogen oxides that does not depend on the amount going in. Its wasted NO2. Aditionally people seem to get better results if the air going into the arc chamber is dry.
Fine. Won't do it then. No problem. Actually, one less problem.
You might want to take heed from the death of a NST in jacobs ladder config particually.
"The company manufacturing this particular NST gave me their word that it would work in a jocob's ladder config."
Read the thread on roguesci. While it will certainly work, how long it will live is more the question. I came to the conclusion that the constant sparking might well be generating fast voltage spikes (eg from inductive kick) that degraded the insulation over time. Its also possible it simply overheated from the neer short current.
Time will tell.
"I'm not intending to make explosives. I'm very afraid of explosives. I AM, however, very interested in rocket fuels."
There is not so much of a difference. What fuel/oxidiser are you planning to make with the nitric acid?
There is a very large difference. Rocket fuels deflagrate, explosives detonate. I was planning on trying out NC to start with.
For the record, I do not have a 'problem' with your project. I hope it succeeds. You are quite entitled to tread your own path, make your own mistakes and we will learn from it either way. I will try to help, you can listen to my suggestions or not, if something is covered well elsewhere I do reserve the right to simply point you to it rather than type it all in myself. If you state as facts things I know to be wrong I do reserve the right to correct them and last but by no means least, if you tell people things are safe when they arnt, if you tell people something is doing less damage to them than they think - when you havnt read the information and very particually when it relates to NO2 - then I do reserve the right to call you a fucking idiot.
Everyone states as fact things that are wrong. It's the listeners responsibility to determine the truth of the statements. I could state that it's safe to jump out a window --- that does not make my fault if someone tries it.
And if you care to point out exactly <i>where</i> I've stated that NO2 is absolutely harmless, I'll accept the ad hominem title "fucking idiot". Mostly because sometimes I'm an idiot, everyone are, but also because I have a girlfriend, which means I'm occasionally fucking.
Does you hardware not support the concept of irony? And why are you so fond of the expression "fucking idiot"? Is there something Mr. Freud would find interesting here?

It's posts like this ^^^^ that really make a 'like' or 'rep' button a necessary addition to the forum soft ware in my most humble of opinion..
I don't want to waste bandwidth (and thus the site owners money)
So rather than quote a whole post.. Just to say I strongly agree with the posters opinion/sentiments..
A simple thumps up could suffice...
A constructive critism is all. Hope it doesn't over step the mark with me being new n all..
E2a I'm sorry but the quote in my box and the one appearing here are different?
If a mod can help? Or just delete? Many thanx.

NO2 is a toxic gas. However, it is less toxic than chlorine or ozone, which are frequently recommended on this forum. According to this paper:
The odor threshold for NO2 is 0.12 ppm, and the PEL is 5 ppm with an IDLH of 20 ppm. Obviously you don't want to be pushing up against the IDLH and you need to use a respirator but it's not exactly nickel carbonyl, and the smell is an available warning that something is wrong. NO2 is infamous because it's easy to produce it inadvertently from common materials or when trying to do anything with nitric acid (particularly dissolving precious metals).

It's been a while since I have made a blogpost so this month, I have set myself a challenge which I hope I will be able to complete. I have heard bloggers that some bloggers have decided to get involved in Blogtober, which is blogging throughout the entire month of October. I saw that my sister had already began posting for her own Blogtober challenge andd I have to say, I was immediately up for the challenge! Personally, I think a blog post ever day is a little ambitious, so I will be aiming to produce a blog post every 2-3 days.
So Blogtober post #1 is actually post #4 in my Blogging Secrets series, where I share the biggest need to know tricks for video blogging and blogging. So far I have shared how to make a Youtube thumbnail, where to get 'that' music used by 'that' Youtuber in their video an how to make a Youtube channel banner.
Today, I will sharing how to make your social media icons/ buttons clickable so that you can add cute handmade buttons to your blog banner or sidebar and give your layout a bit of a makeover.
I will not be showing you how to actually make the buttons because to be honest, its a pretty straight forward process which you can probably find how online in no time.
First open up the website Image Maps.
Thankfully, this website is extremely easy to navigate. Select the big orange box ( it is really big so you can't miss it) which says 'Browse for file'.
It will open up your personal folders; navigate through your files and select your image.
Once opened, select ' Start Mapping' and your image should upload onto a blank space. My picture currently has three icons and for each icon we are going to create a separate link.
Start with the first link, hover over the icon and right click.
A menu should pop up, select the ' Create Rect' option which will allow you to draw a rectangular link over your icons. You can use the Circle and Poly options if you like, but the rectangle option fits most icons. Draw a rectangle.
In the next box, add your personal URL.
To make sure the link opens up in a new tab, select the 'Events' tab and change the 'Target' drop down to 'Blank'.
Repeat for each icon, you will know which icon you have edited as it will turn red.
Once you are finished right click the image. The same pop up menu will appear; select 'Get Code'.
In the 'HTML Code' tab at the very bottom you will find a long code; this is the code you need to copy and paste to your website. Copy the code.
Open your websites layout ( for Blogger accounts, select 'Layouts' If you haven't already, add a new HTML/ Java script gadget for your social media icons). Paste the code in the content box. You can name the element if you want to make it easier to find in the future ( you can see that I have named mine ' Connect with Me!')
That is it!
However, Image Maps stores your personal HTML code for only 24 hours so you will need to move the picture to a permanent location. For this you can upload your image to a phot hosting website, the best sites are places linked to your blog account so they can be found again should something go wrong, e.g. Google Pictures, Wordpress and Photobucket.
Once done, copy the new image location and replace the old location; the code goes between src=" and another " ( I have highlighted this in the picture).
Save and then your ready to use your clickable links!
Ta- da!
I really hope this series is helping you guys with your channels and blogs.
Let me know if you need help with anything else and also if this series has helped you boost your blog.
If you want to read the other posts in the series, I will link them below.
And....lastly, I have a series going on on my Youtube channel called #fihasFALLen which is everything Autumn inspired including makeup, outfts and baking. So far I have three videos live, so make sure you check them out. If you do comment "Elena and Damon sent me!"
Thanks for reading,
God Bless

Foust on Virgin Galactic
Jeff Foust of the Space Review says that Virgin Galactic has presented information on its strategic business plans. Feedback from customers paying up to $200K per flight indicated that a larger spaceship would be needed to meet market expectations of a fun suborbital space trip. As a result, Virgin Galactic is looking at the suborbital scientific market as well. They have also evaluated a booster which could deploy from the White Knight 2 and launch small satellites into orbit. Possible per satellite launch cost? $2 million. NASA delenda est.

At Holy Apostles we believe in the priesthood of all believers. This means that all baptized members of Christ's Church have an active role to play in the community of faith.
The leadership of this church includes the bishop, the Rt. Rev. Daniel Gutierrez, who leads the Episcopal Church in our diocese (Philadelphia, PA & the surrounding region). The bishop's sacramental delegate, and the person who has been chosen to be a sign of the our worship and ministry that we all contribute to is our rector, the Rev. James Stambaugh.
The parish is led by a council of baptized Christians called the vestry.

The two weeks surrounding Christmas and New Years is always a bit of a long haul. I'm not, by nature, a social creature. Once or twice a month is fine for me. I see who I want to see, hang out when I want, and have plenty of time to recharge.
I'm not going to claim introvert/extrovert, as those labels have largely been over-used by today's internet culture. Folks are trying to find out who they're like, and that's fine, but it's not a label I necessarily need. Depends on the day, I suppose.
Anyway, the weeks around Christmas see me hanging out and socializing more than I socialize for months at a time at other times during the year. Today marks the first day, and I've got three social visits (though technically one is for business) to take care of today.
Bleh. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it…but it is very tiring. The goal this year is to have plenty of rest and good dietary choices to avoid the January crud I get every year.

Proverbs 24:17-18
Do not rejoice when your enemies fall,
and do not let your heart be glad when they stumble,
18 or else the Lord will see it and be displeased,
and turn away his anger from them.
What? Why? Oh no. I've definitely done this before. So if I can't be happy when something bad happens to someone I hate, what do I do? Feel sorry for them? Pray for them? Help them?
It feels a little confusing, but as God is always concerned with our hearts, we need to keep them pure and honest before God. Laughing at another's downfall is not pure. As you see things like this in your life, remember that loving your neighbor means everyone. It's not up to you to decide who deserves God's love.

Recently, I was asked to review Dale Archer's new book, The ADHD Advantage. This is Archer's second self-help book on mental health and takes a novel approach in guiding those who have received or those who care for one who has received an ADHD diagnosis.
Archer's credentials include a background and career in psychiatry and first-hand experience as an ADHD patient. I wanted to read and review this book because I've come to realize there is a clear pattern of ADD (ie ADHD without the hyperactive component) behavior over my life so far. Frequent notations from teachers on reports cards about talking less and listening more? Check. Trouble following through with tasks that don't excite me and constantly procrastinating? Check. Hyperfocused for hours on tasks that do excite me to the exclusion of eating or getting out of my chair? Check. Easily bored? Check. Problems with remembering things? Check. Check. Check.
So I settled in to read The ADHD Advantage and prepared myself to take notes on his solid techniques to improve self-discipline, stop procrastinating, improve memory, etc. Only, that wasn't the focus of the book. Instead, this lauded expert in ADHD focuses on why those with ADHD struggle in the ways that we do (spoiler: less Dopamine receptors makes us deprived of pleasure and excitement and leads us to thrill seeking, poor executive functioning, and a penchant for impulsive behaviors) and why we should accept ourselves as we are instead of trying to conform to the norm with medication or browbeating. He (accurately) points out how each negative of ADHD has a complementary positive. For example, inability to focus for long stretches on dull activities = improved abilities in multi-tasking when needed. Thrill seeking instincts = less risk adverse and more successful in entrepreneurship. Repeated procrastination that leads to failures = greater resiliency. Repeated procrastination that leads to success just before final deadlines = honed skill of working under extreme pressure.
So, run with your ADHD strengths. That's Archer's key takeaway. Stop trying so hard to become more self-disciplined when it's counter to our specific neurological makeup as ADHD types. He implies that the only way to fully conform ADHD brains to the norm is through medication (such as stimulants) and doing so robs the world of the gifts ADHD labeled patients bring to their work and their communities (plus stimulants have destructive side effects). And, according to Archer, any solution that doesn't rely on medication cannot address the underlying Dopamine receptor issue and will often lead patients to browbeat themselves into being more disciplined in one area (such as work), which will only trigger acting out recklessly in other, more dangerous areas (such as sexual behavior) to continue self-medicating via thrill-seeking.
Use the strengths of ADHD for the benefit of myself and others, and be careful not to position myself in ways that the deficits of the condition could really hurt me or others (i.e. don't choose a job or lifestyle that requires extended focus on dull tasks or where procrastination could endanger lives)...that's how to proceed? Admittedly, it sounds good. Giving up this lifelong struggle (mostly outright failure!) to be a paragon of self-discipline sounds so freeing. But it almost sounds too good to be true; an easy out. We are taught that a dedication to self-discipline is a character issue; it's a moral imperative we aren't allowed to give up on because it's too hard, because it's not for us, or because it's not how our brains are wired. I feel shame and guilt when I see myself fail at self-discipline or executive functioning tasks and I'm not sure I can step away from the societal conditioning that I MUST KEEP TRYING.
I'll keep pondering it and perhaps radical self-acceptance might eventually be something I can get behind.
