Great Color The pillows arrived right on time, by the expected delivery date. I love the material because it's not a shiny velvet, and the color ended up being warmer in tone than I expected. It stands up really well to two kittens. October 24, 2013
Well made and cover can be removed and washed. I bought this to use with a particular chair and I am very pleased with its color and comfort. September 15, 2013

Forum / Gas Heating / Question regarding boiler sizing and IDW

Question regarding boiler sizing and IDW (13 Posts)
John_in_Buffalo May 1, 2013 @ 8:07 AM
Contact this user
Question regarding boiler sizing and IDWI am replacing my old (1960's era) Peerless Boiler with a WM Ultra 3.
I did a heat loss calculation (using Slanted Fin software) on my modest house (1600 ft2) and came up 57MBH (outside temp 0F).
We have only one zone in the house (but will be adding a second for the hot water)
My own research suggested the smaller WM boiler (80 MBH).
My installer suggested that I go to the next higher size boiler (105 MBH) due to the indirect HW tank.
Not ssure if it matters but it is a 1 bath home with a 5 gpm showerhead and 4 people living here.
I don't want to second guess my installer, but I was under the impression (based on what I've seen discussed here) that an IDW set up as a priority zone doesn't get included in the heat loss calc. I could be wrong on that as much of what you folks discuss is over my head.
My question: Are there any drawbacks (other than the small additional cost for the larger boiler) to use the larger size (105 MBH) boiler?
Am I correct in assuming that, since it is a modulating boiler, if I oversized it a bit the "modulating" aspect would help me minimize some of the lost efficiencies (due to an oversized boiler).
Any advice/comments would be much appreciated.

OversizedThere is a lot of fudge in most heat loss programs,the true number is probably much less than the calculation,go with the right size boiler. Determine your DHW needs and go with the size tank you need,size the tank to boiler not boiler to tank.

Size the tank to the boiler?Thank you for your response.
The comment "size the tank to the boiler" raises another question.
On the WM Site w/specs for tanks, they say (for the 35 gallon tank at 180 degrees boiler water): "Boiler out = 150 MBH"
This is confusing to me. Are they suggesting that I need a minimum 150 MBH output boiler to use with this (their smallest) tank?
Which would mean their 80 MBH and the 105 MBH Ultra3's wouldnt work with their smallest IDW tank. I must be missing something.
SWEI May 1, 2013 @ 11:06 AM

size the tankthose numbers are the maximum boiler output the tank can transfer. Lower boiler outputs will work, but produce lower first hour numbers for DHW.
The Ultra has an aluminum heat exchanger, which would not be my first choice for any boiler. I'd probably choose a Triangle Tube PTS60 to meet that heat loss, and pair it with a SMART (30, 40, 50, or 60 depending on DHW needs.)

I would go withThe triangle Tube 110. That will heat the ID quickly and and keep you nice and cozy.
SWEI May 1, 2013 @ 11:33 AM

TT110 is a fine boilerBut its minimum firing rate is over half of his maximum load. The 60 would be the right match for the heating load, but might need a larger indirect to satisfy the DHW demand.
unclejohn May 1, 2013 @ 10:31 PM
Contact this user
Pretty sureThe 110 turns down to 30K his stated load was 57k. I personally think the TT60's are to small for a quick recovery on your indirect.

New boiler fun...I would go solo 60 {ultras are, ehh...} and either a rinnai condensing tankless or a larger phase 3, set it up for DHW priority {your trimax control will handle all of that}.
A couple notes on your system, since you have one single zone you wouldn't notice the oversized woes others with multiple small zones would, still not a great idea to do but.....
For DHW, why a 5gpm shower head, that seems excessive to me, I would think about swapping that out with a high sierra head and save your self some money... I have them in all 4 of the showers in my house and they are amazing, kind of loud but they feel like a water waster head, but they are some of the tightest in the industry...
So imo I think a tt60 would serve you very well, you will save on the yearly service and you will save on the unit being almost perfectly sized with such a low turn down... If you go with an indirect I would check the specs but go with something like a smart 60 with the solo 60, I did this in a 2 bath town home with 4 people living there and they have no issues, I prefer a seperate rinnai unit for dhw but that is just me, cost is about the same...

shower head swapexcellent point! I'll just add that the Kohler Forte 1.75 GPM is a favorite here. Spray pattern is closer to that of a conventional showerhead than other low-flow models we have tried.
heatpro02920 May 1, 2013 @ 2:21 PM
Contact this user
I didn't know the forte was low flowI have installed a bunch of forte shower valves, is that the one that comes in the kit? I thought they were 2.5gpm like the rest of them....
You have to try the high sierra, it definitely flows very little water I got 1.35 gpm in my master bath when I tested mine, but it feels like a lot of water.
I have a Rinnai unit {of course} so no water mixing just put the shower on full hot and jump in, I noticed the high sierra shower heads almost cut my hot water gas usage in half!!!! At first I didn't believe it but after I did the math a few summer months it added up, so now I have them in all of my properties and I offer them to my customers...
They have an orifice instead of 50 small holes, so they never get clogged up and they spray the same pretty much no matter how much or little pressure you have.... Good idea, not the prettiest thing you have ever seen and not the quietest but nothing saving 40% of your DHW bill can't make you feel better about....

Phase 3?Thanks to you and everyone for the responses.
Not to display my ignorance but, What is a Phase 3 IDW?
heatpro02920 May 1, 2013 @ 4:53 PM
Contact this user
Sorry they are called a bunch of thingsTT indirects, Phase 3's, smart tanks, tank in tank, double tank, ect... they are imo the way to go when it comes to indirect water heaters... And with a Traingle tube solo 60 you can't go wrong, just have your contractor size the tank accordingly, they make them from 30-120 gallons... I don't add BTU's for DHW, think of it this way, using priority the DHW and central heating will never run at the same times, so your tt 60 will make around 50K btus, thats 50k for the DHW tank and when that is satisfied you get your 50k btus for your heat loop... The house isnt going to drop more than a degree by the time the tank recovers, 1 because they recover quickly and 2 because you are running that hot water in the house some where so the heat is most likely transferring to the house in one way or the other {in the winter when we take showers in our master bathroom it raises the master beds heat about a degree with the door closed}, and 3 50K BTU of hot water is a good amount a direct fired gas water heater has less than that and would be fine for your needs...
I would seriously consider getting a smart 50 or 60 and a TT60 boiler, then change that shower head for gods sake 5gpm is a waste, you will save money and water just by doing that alone get something 1.75 or under... this will give you much longer showers, which I dont think you will have a problem with the tt60 and a 50, 4-15 minute showers back to back with 5 minutes of recover in between each, that will keep up no problem with one bathroom...

film?? whats that. Calvin will have to return from future/past to the present.
yes and WHO will hold their hand and take them back to their own country (assuming we guess the right country) drive them to their house and make sure they are safely deposited on the doorstep of caring parents in a safe environment? Or were we just going to dump them at any one of the junctures? To me that is what the toon is about, a complicated situation with no easy or RIGHT answers.
Good post. If we take into account more than one viewpoint, won't we have to make up our own mind and use common sense, rather than the black and white blatherings of ANY single source? A good cartoon that enables a good conversation. I agree that the answers are multi-faceted and more complicated than sticking our head in the sand and keeping all people out of our globally situated nation.
Two unsurprisingly simplistic points of view
The basic that's missing here is, simply, that few, if any, in the Middle East even have any sense of "Country", or "Nation", or much else other than a fanaticism concerning THEIR OWN brand of Mohammedism. Even Afghanistanis are far, Far, FAR more clan-tribal oriented than "nationalist.
I would submit, very many in the US have a tribal, clan mentality. When they start talking of government intervention and Nimby type protests, I get the feeling they are supporting and "protecting" ME and MY group. In my mind, nationalism is about celebrating the whole country and all its differences and gifts.
excellent visual metaphor. Insensitive to Sherpa. Makes them a cartoonish
I mostly agree with you. I would, however raise the opinion that …. Anything is unfair to someone.
We'd like two tickets to reality based earthcare.
It's one thing to stand on the sidelines and LET something fail. That is bad enough and is sin by Omission. Its something else again to work hard to MAKE the law fail, sometimes with out and out misdirection and falsehoods. Can't we work together seems to be a tired and unworkable stance, but is still the only way forward.
Lets take your analogy a little further. In insurance well people pay for insurance they don't use in a pool where it pays for sick people. For most of us healthy people, if we saved and allocated our money wisely, we would seldom need help when we were sick. Insurance is all about spreading risk around and always has been. Rich, poor, young, old are mixed together to come to some equitable average cost that benefits everyone. catastrophic cost for healthcare makes it pretty much necessary for all to have insurance. That even covers those prudent young people who get hurt or sick when they least expect it. No one EVER wants to pay in advance for health care

Leucadia, Isle of Paradise, Place of Shelter?
Jonathan is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In Greek, leucadia means "isle of paradise" or "place of shelter." It's also the name of a seaside community outside San Diego. A fitting name, I'd wager. I haven't been there. But we're here to discuss the stock market, so our focus must shift to yet another Leucadia.
This Leucadia, Leucadia National (NYSE: LUK), is named after Leucadia, Calif. It's a conglomerate in the most traditional sense of the word: a motley assortment of businesses that has outlived most of its brethren. This type of company was fashionable in the 60s and 70s but is an endangered species in the U.S. One of the last holdouts besides Leucadia, ITT (NYSE: ITT), divested its Sheraton hotels in the 90s, and spun off two other divisions last year.
Leucadia's key subsidiaries operate slaughterhouses processing beef in Kansas, service and originate commercial mortgages, turn around troubled car dealerships, run the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Biloxi, Miss., provide oil and gas drilling services, and supply timber and copper. Boutique investment bank Jefferies Group (NYSE: JEF) will soon lead their ranks, once Leucadia acquires the 71% of Jefferies that it doesn't own already.
Under the Leucadia umbrella, you'll even find a manufacturer of plastics, vineyards in the Napa Valley, air rights behind Washington's Union Station, land in Myrtle Beach, S.C. and Panama City, Fla., and a San Diego biotech startup studying sickle-cell anemia. These are bit players in the grand scheme of things, but they make for good cocktail-party fodder.
Now, the question is whether Leucadia National deserves its Greek name, or whether it's yet another investment vehicle masking risky or toxic assets with an esoteric, innocuous name.
Let's look at the stock's performance and carry out a SWOT analysis.
LUK Book Value Per Share data by YCharts
Attractive valuation: LUK has a P/E of 10 and trades at 15% off book value.
Management has a strong track record:
- Long-term investment perspective;
- Relatively consistent book-value growth since the 70s;
- Proven Buffett-esque investment strategy focused on distressed assets; like the Oracle of Omaha, Leucadia's chairman is also known for his wit and candor in his annual letter to shareholders.
Leucadia is diversified and operates many businesses with barriers to entry or "moats."
Insiders hold almost 20% of the shares.
Berkadia, Leucadia's commercial mortgage subsidiary, is a 50/50 joint venture with Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B).
Heavy dependence on management's investment prowess.
Few synergies among subsidiaries: company will invest in anything that can generate outsized returns.
The conglomerate discount keeps the stock from reaching its full potential. Although this "Baby Berkshire" is based in New York, neither Wall Street nor Main Street gives it much attention. Companies that lack focus are no longer in vogue.
Management has called the company a play on inflation. Deflation would hurt performance.
With the decline in new construction, the timber business has been struggling.
Casino revenue in Biloxi has been decreasing. Besides the Hard Rock, there are ten other places to gamble along Mississippi's Gulf Coast, along with casinos in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, La.
Questions of succession have encircled this stock, but are starting to be resolved with the Jefferies acquisition. Upon the deal's closing, Jefferies CEO Richard Handler will assume control of Leucadia, while current CEO Ian Cumming will retire.
Garcadia, Leucadia's car dealership subsidiary, will benefit as Americans start replacing their aging vehicles.
As the real estate market rebounds, Leucadia's land may appreciate in value.
Sangart, Leucadia's biotech subsidiary, is a wild card that may come into play if its clinical trials prove successful.
Splitting the company in the distant future could unlock value for shareholders, but management has given no indication that it will do so.
Unpredictable commodities prices affect Leucadia's interests in copper, timber, and oil and gas drilling services. Be prepared for a wild ride.
National Beef is a low-margin, highly competitive business. It depends on Wal-Mart for 9% of its sales, and is extremely vulnerable to external events. In recent years, competitors have suffered amid E. coli scares, immigration raids, and harsh media attention. Remember the controversy over the "pink slime" picture of the meat used in McNuggets?
Jefferies and Berkadia depend highly on successful talent acquisition. That's HR-speak for "to survive, they must keep attracting quality employees."
Extreme weather along the Gulf Coast could affect the Biloxi casino.
The Bottom Line
A staid conglomerate, Leucadia attracts value-oriented Fools with its distressed stock price and its prudent, highly intelligent management team. But don't mistake it for a widows-and-orphans stock. It pays a meager 1.2% dividend and has been incredibly volatile (Beta = 1.76) since 2008.
Nonetheless, I'm a believer.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewOriginal box art Ore No Ryouri is a Japanese restaurant management simulator, originally released in Japan for the Playstation on September 9th, 1999. A demo was also included on a Playstation Underground demo disc as a featured import. A digital version was released on August 20, 2007 on the Japanese PlayStation Store.Due to the games popularity it was added to the "Best of" Playstation releases in Japan and later a Playstation 2 party/board game, Gacharoku, was created based on the characters and art style.Premise You play a young chef, who must cook his way up through 9 different restaurant levels, cooking a variety of 39 different dishes.Is that a tongue or his mouth?The game utilizes the dual-analog sticks in an innovative way to simulate the actions of various kitchen activities such as chopping carrots, stirring soup and pouring beers. Also occasional mini games pop up that have you washing dishes, squashing bugs and chasing robbers down the street. All controlled with the dual-analog sticks.The game features single-player and various multiplayer modes. Including cooking challenges and a head to head mode. GameplayPatrons enter the restaurant and take a seat at the bar on the bottom of the screen. Their order is then added to a queue on the left of the screen. You can have up to 6 orders in queue at once and multiple dishes-in varying stages-on the go. Pouring a beer Selecting the order brings up the cooking mode. Utilizing the dual sticks similar to your hands you fulfill the order. For example, to chop a carrot you move the left stick to slide your hand down the carrot and use an up and down motion on the right stick to chop. To pour a beer, you tilt the glass with the left stick and pour with the right, filling the glass to the customer's request. More complicated dishes require multiple steps. To make soup you need to chop the vegetable in step one, and then stir the soup for step two. With multiple dishes on the go it can get quite hectic managing everything and still satisfying the customer. All your hard work gains you cash, the better the job the bigger the pay-off.Battling grandpa-sanAs you progress through the different restaurant levels the variety and difficulty of the dishes increases. Also, in between levels you are occasionally challenged to cook-offs by a rival frog chef and his crew.

Fifty Shades of Grey movie hopeful Ian Somerhalder went on a radio show recently to try and pick up girls. Apparently, he went on Sway in the Morning, a Sirius radio show, and playfully fielded calls from female listeners who were pleading to go on a date with him. Ian! You dirty dog, you. WHAT ABOUT NINA DOBREV.
You will be happy to know that Ian declined all of the ladies' pitches. He was all thanks but no thanks to women whom I sure were offering up some pretty titillating date ideas.
The closest he got to accepting an offer was when a woman described herself as an animal activist and environmentalist who loves books. Ian joked, "I'll be there in an hour!"
He's a laugh a minute, this guy.
As for Nina, sounds like she has nothing to worry about. If anything, she should be thrilled they're at such a solid place in their relationship where they can do fun, flirty things with fans and not have it turn into some drama. She trusts that his participation on a dating game is all in good fun, and he'll trust that her talking to Conan about sex tips is just part of the job.
There are just as many rumors about Ian and Nina's split as there are about who will actually play Christian Grey, so really, who knows what to believe. That said, it sounds like they're spending Easter together, so no matter what the status of their relationship, at least they'll be able to eat chocolate bunnies together for the first and maybe last time. A rite of passage if ever there was one.
Do you think Ian and Nina are still going strong?
Photo via Splash News
YES !!!! They are ..... I would like to have dinner with both of them ........... They are great people .....
oh leave him be he is a great actor who happens to be inside a hott body and has beautiful face, and a beautiful heart and sole. I hope that Ian and Nina find love in their life with each other but if not i wish them both the best. With that out of the way, the role of Christian Grey it belongs to IAN SOMERHALDER! There is no one else i would rather see get is role than him. There can be only one ChristianGrey and it's IAN SOMERHALDER!!!!
<3 Ian.. I am an animal activist and love horses. :) Wish I would have called. It would have been awesome just to spend time with him. It didn't even necessarily have to be a date.
Ian is perfect to play the role of Christian Grey and as for Martina's comment above; I happen to know that Ian is not acting, he is in fact showing his true colors. He is a beautiful person inside and out. He loves our planet and his fans. As he has proven time and time again whether it is through his work with ISF or if it's the secretly snapped photos showing hm opening doors for people or the numerous videos showing other cast members walking by ignoring their fans while only Ian stops to sign autographs, take photos with them and tell them he loves them too. He always, no matter where he goes takes time for his fans unless he is running late and has to get inside a building ASAP. I wish there were more loving, caring people like him in the world. It would be an added bonus if they possessed his good looking exterior as well.
OMG, He is TOOOO SEXY!!!!!!!!!!

My family LOVED this recipe! I made a few changes to the original recipe though. I added seasoning salt and garlic powder to the flour for the chicken. Then I dipped it in an egg white and then into panko. It added a really good crunch! Especially after you pour the wine reduction over the chicken. I heated the wine first for the Alfredo sauce in a saucepan to cook off the alcohol (since my toddler was eating it). Then I cooled it and folded it in to the Alfredo mixture. It took a little extra time, but it was worth it. My husband requested I make this for company it was so good!

Prairie Storm
- Wednesday, June 03, 2009
The relatives on my father's side were farmers—hard-working, plain-spoken people who understood and loved the earth and harnessed its power through sweat and skill and faith. I like to think that something of their noble, earthy spirit lives on in me, but clearly, it does not. I must confess that I am the poster girl for comfort-craving suburbanites everywhere. When I get close to the earth I so profess to love, it seems, well … dirty.
But it wasn't that way for my great-grandma Bittner. I met her only once, when I was very young. My parents decided it was time to embark on a pilgrimage to the family homestead. And so, in the summer of 1972, my brother Chris and I spent a wide-eyed week on the Bittner wheat farm in Yorkton, Saskatchewan.
A four-year-old possesses a mind's eye like a fun house mirror; the shapes of everyone and everything are stretched to larger-than-life proportions. To this day I can play back my memories like scratchy pieces of stop-motion film.
The wheat is militant, standing at attention in uniform rows until a prairie wind spots me in the distance and decides to put on a show. Stalks higher than the Empire State Building become Motown dancers, bending and swaying, swaying and bending for an awestruck audience of one.
My great-uncles are benevolent Goliaths with wide grins and huge, leathery hands. At the end of the day, they smell a little like ripe fruit. Their own children are no longer children, and yet when they enter the farmhouse, they are once more the dutiful sons of Grandma Bittner, who is all one could hope for in a family matriarch. Eighty-five laborious years have compromised her mobility (she seldom moved from her kitchen chair), but she is still a dominant figure. I'm a little afraid in her presence, but there is a softness beneath her severe strength. The Saskatchewan sun has turned her a golden brown, and she is as kneaded and plump as the fragrant loaves of bread cooling on her counters.
The Bittner wheat farm is pure magic, but I'm not purely happy. Even a four-year-old can tell when something is amiss, and I'm troubled when my uncles' open faces cloud over. I strain to overhear and understand their conversations. The crops are in trouble. No rain for months. We hoist Grandma Bittner into the car for a drive, and each field we pass elicits the same response. Too dry, too dry. My heart sinks further with every mournful shake of her heavy head. I've never heard the word drought before, but I'm sure it's not good.
In the cool of the evening, my great-aunts and uncles gather in the kitchen and bring my parents up to date on the latest family gossip. Chris and I grow restless; we go out to sit by ourselves on the front porch. We are sleepy and warm and somewhat intoxicated with our freedom, until all at once the universe begins to go horribly wrong.
First, a cloud of mosquitoes attacks. The air is thick with them, and they only want Chris. We are mutually hysterical, and the grown-ups come running to the rescue. They swat at the swarm and eventually manage to get Chris inside.
Now I am alone on the porch, still sweaty and jittery from my brother's ordeal. But before my heart rate can return to normal, a new onslaught is launched.
A white flash scorches my eyes. A second later, all is consumed in darkness. The wind begins to howl, enraged to be losing a shouting match with a thunder that is more terrifying than anything I've ever heard. The rain the heavens have been hoarding is released with a savage vengeance, pelting the roof and slashing at the windows, drenching me instantly. Even the sturdy old farmhouse has turned against me, violently banging the screen door open and shut behind me. The lightning strikes again and again, illuminating the holy terror that is my first prairie storm.

Thank you so much for your informative posts about the Ottomans! Please keep them coming..
Indeed, keep them coming.
Assalamu alaikum Sidi Yursil,
JazakAllah khayran for posting this. Really interesting. You learn something new everyday.
Sufyan Yunus
That was really interesting!
beautifull account. The brish empires repression of the Irish is no secret, especially in the famine and this information shows a bit of humanity, by the Muslim Sultan to the Irish Catholics.
Allahu Akbar!
What an interesting post! I just discovered your blog through the Carnival of Irish Heritage and Culture. I've bookmarked you and will come back and explore some of the other fascinating looking post I see.

what a amazing story to read. fantastic im always proud to born as a TURK. NE MUTLU TURKUM DIYENE !
Irish people are very good also very friendly people that i become across. they might drink bit tomush than us Turks but still we get on very well indeed.. greetings to my friends n ireland.
Also thanks for your effort spending time to puting this historical informatin in here .
adem odabasi
wow what an amazing story, i just heared about it and i could not believe it, untill i just read the whole story, i am proud to be a TURKISH girl, person whatever !!!!!!!!!
Sultan Abdul Mecit ve siz torunu.. bence sizin icin cok onur verici olmali.
Sultan abd ul Medjid was my great great grand father and I did not know this !
I dont think the rest of the family knows either .
Thank you for informing us and the world of the humanity and generosity of this family who has been so often caricatured .
Astınishing as I have relised that Turks to be more helpfull than I used to know….
What astonishing is that I really had not realised that Turks are intensively helpfull.
ecdadımızla gurur duyuyorum osmanlı torunu olarak
thank you kind turkish people
from an irish catholic
you should be proud of yourselves
I am really proud to be Turk.This story shows that we Turks like to help who needs help.We are the grand grand childs of this great empire.
Once again, a great reminder of our glorious history, national character and values.
Maybe this one incident might allow some to understand why we Turks, take unusual amount of pride in our flag, history, ancestors and the blood that runs through our veins.
Ne Mutlu Turk'um Diyene. ☾☆
I am turk and ı am so proud to be turk .
drogheda united also our team
This helpfull attitude because of Ottoman empire was a muslim country. Islam say help eachothers, even christian and jews. Islam says behave well to your neighbour, even christian or jews, become generous. Don't break people's heart. True islam is those. But sometimes people don't do their believe's orders. I am too much happy to born as muslim. Islam is means what is the best, beautiful for peoples. Islam is means peace. And those were in Ottoman empire.
I would like to thank your ancestors, by thanking you for your most generous help in the past. I have been to Turkey four times (not just to the holiday destinations) and have found you to be a kind, generous, helpful and welcoming people. Thank you. I will visit again. Inshallah. I am delighted to receive this information as it certainly was not in our History books at school. Thank you.
In the name of my Irish ancestors I thank the great Turkish nation for their generosity and for the help they provided to the starving Irish under British oppression. This story deserves to be spread far and wide.
Those who had been in Turkey are the lucky ones,who discovers the truth about my nation.But it is not possible to say this for the people who had not been there.They are unlucky since the only information they get from the history books and or the media are not really saying the truth. On the other hand,one can not blame the western historians and the media reporters but we as the Turks are not really good to advertise.Help and forget,be good even to your enemy…some of the old sayings here,and we grow our kids with these teachings.
Hope in the near future with a good quality of advertisement there will be a bridge whice will connect the civilized western europeans to our humanist anatolians. Because we need that,the world needs this indeed.
i am proud and happy) all so irish people nice people
We were always near who they People need us and they were suffering by cruelty countries.
I am thankfull to My Ancestors like you..
They were in the true place..
We Turks still ready to help who they need us..
see u
Ottoman so proud to be the grandson of that, I hope that the future of justice in the world again. I love the Irish. Drogheda fc and trabzonspor wish you success
We the irish people will never forget the generousity of the Turkish people at a time when we were being raped and bullied by our genocidal ,delinquint and greedy neighbours.Neighbours who built their disgusting empire on the backs of small and defenceless peoples.
Many many thanks to our true friends the Turks.
we all should be happy what we do to man kinde what ever religion we are every religion should respect all a religiongs end of the day there is only one god we say allah you say god there is only one god
irish people please saport the turks much as you can please remember there has never been a so called armenian genocide this so called is only a propreganda sorry my engils spleing and i hope all ways the turks and the irish be frainds for ever
sorry i for got to say this please the irish people please put this to your parlement and country but this to your gocvement they can investecate that there has never been armenian so called genocide by the turks to the armenians please but peticians to your goverment this propaganda to the turks nothing ellse peace to every one a thing that has never happend it is only a polictall propaganda
Hello.Firstly I want to say that I'm so pround and happy to be a Turk.We sent you some help and we forgot it.It was not very big for us,but it was a very big help for you.That's our culture,and that's so good.You were poor then,but today,you are big and good country.And,you use your power for helping today's poor people.For example,we sent shipment for Gaza with us.That was good.Many of European people aren't so good.They hate us…But,you don't hate us,You like as,and you are a humanist nation like us.Always help each other…
"NE MUTLU TÃœRK'ÃœM DÄ°YENE…"
Greetings to you Alparslan Tekin and much respect to your ancestors who at the time of the irsh famine helped my starving ancestors. All my life, and I am now an old man, I have heard the stroy of how the Ottoman Emperor helped Ireland in its time of need. We will never ever forget this.
oh my god! that is so friggin' great you know what?.. i would do the same if i were the sultan. i dont know how to explain but that is how our logic works. like the other previous comments say: its because of our ancient teachings. help people who are in need, if your enemy surrenders cease fire, respect the elder ones even if they are lesser educated than you, since they have greater experience etc.
i've always felt some kind of connection to the irish people. as i was working as a waiter in a restaurant on cyprus i met an irish couple. we had a very long talk about william wallace and irish history. i wish i had enough time to visit your beautiful country… but my studies keep me ocupied for now.
well anyway some day i'll visit drogheda
see ya there
Indeed we turks maintain our turkishness forever.And this a gift given by allah to us.
Our identity demands to always be fair,tireless,tough,kind,powerful,patient,great,severe,courageous,honorable…concise TURK.
May allah allows us to unify 220 million turks as one big honorable family.
Then this family will abandon injustice and will teach peace and humanity.
As we did in history several times.

Let's shelve political correctness for a few minutes.
Let's not, however, let hatred and prejudice reduce objective Truth to a compassionless act. Therefore, let's take a close look at who, and what, reigns as god in the American heart these days, and what suffices as religion in this technologically driven, fallen generation.
"At Lystra there was a crippled man, lame from birth, who had never walked. He listened to Paul speaking, who looked intently at him, saw that he had the faith to be healed, and called out in a loud voice, 'Stand up straight on your feet.' He jumped up and began to walk about. When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they cried out in Lycaonian, 'The gods have come down to us in human form.'" Acts 14:5-18
America is in peril because America is idolatrous.
Once upon a time, America was a Judaeo-Christian nation. Now America is a nation driven by idol worship. Men, and soon to be women, are elected to the highest office in the land simply because they belong to the race or gender which is up next for deification. No longer do they need integrity or capability. Now all they need is the kind of celebrity flair which inspires a perverse political worship. In Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton, we have two Americans who rule through the power of celebrity, and are worshipped through an ideology which only sees their representative race and gender as savior in a utopian, and romantic, desire for an unachievable, harmonious human equality.
Yet the worshippers fail to observe the god, and the goddesses, divisive and persecutory reign, crushing all opposition to the utopian acquisition of their dream. Harmonious human equality, through socialism and secularism is but a smoke-screen for tyranny.
Gods pop up in popular culture every day. Michael Sam is the new god of openly gay professional athletes in America. His lifestyle, though as old as the earth itself, is celebrated by high priestesses of 'tolerance,' such as Oprah Winfrey, as if it were a new gust of wind, a new spirit in America. As the lord-god-Michael-Sam is elevated among the pantheon of American gods, those who biblically, and ecclesially, oppose gay 'marriage,' and the homosexual lifestyle--such as Catholics, and a portion of the remaining faithfully vibrant Protestants, not to mention Moslems and Jew--become social outcasts, and possibly criminals, perpetrating the hate crime of following their religiously formed consciences.
The new American religion of 'tolerance' is nothing close to tolerant of opposition.
You would think that the One God would be safe in the American Catholic Church. Think again. The religion of affluence has created a spirit of indifference, or worse, a rejection of Church Teaching. God Obama has infected Catholics with a Pro-Choice vote. Goddesses, like those who are nuns who ride busses, infect Catholics with love for comfort and convenience in abortions, and contraception, and rebellion. In short, Holy Mother Church has been invaded, and infected, with a Trojan Horse full of idolatrous little demons who claim Catholicity, but practice something altogether demonic.
"Heaven is the heaven of the LORD, but the earth he has given to the children of men." Psalm 115:1-4, 15-16
In summary, America has turned its back on the God of heaven, putting all its chips on the gods and goddesses of the earth. In doing so, America has forgotten all the lessons of the Incarnation of Jesus Christ.
"Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him." John 14:21-26
Sad, but true, America has given up hope on the Resurrection because the Cross hurts too much!
Tougher people of the past, those who had hard lives, and hoped through the Cross, saw Christ in all the little things. Nowadays, through techno distractions, and government entitlements, not to mention the ideologies of liars, cheats, and murderers, Americans are too soft to reap the benefits of the Cross. Now they (we--since we are all tempted at times) prefer gods and goddesses who promise avoidance of pain, through slavery in anything and everything truly ungodly.
With so much fear of death and discomfort, America is a 'culture of death.'
We kill to stay comfy. We kill to avoid inconvenience. We abort and euthanize and contracept and persecute, all to avoid the Cross. We build a Tower of Babel in all the dead bodies mounting to heaven.
Yet only the Cross of Jesus will get us there.

Teaching Children Empathy
If we work hard to raise empathetic children, they'll develop a sense of inner strength that will protect them against outside influences beckoning them away from the proper choices.
5. Helping Children Develop Empathy Through Role Play
Whenever children have a hard time empathizing with someone, role-play can perform miracles.
6. Using "I Messages" to Teach Empathy
When we use "I messages," we send a loud and clear signal: "Understand how I'm feeling right now, please!" For instance, a remark like, "I get frustrated when someone walks on my freshly mopped floor with muddy shoes," jumpstarts the cascade of internal dialogue that makes our children consider what we are going through and what they should do to make things better.
7. Modeling Empathy
Voicing our own internal dialogue is an excellent way of modeling empathy for our children. Suppose Aunt Sue has the flu. You might talk out loud to yourself to show your children how you empathize with her situation, what you wish to do about it, and why. "That checker at the grocery store was so short with me today. She's usually so nice! I wonder if anything's wrong. I'll bet money her feet are killing her. I think I'll give her one of the magnolia blossoms from our garden."
8. Teaching Children Empathy by Not Criticizing the Unfortunate
I don't know if it's cultural or instinctive, but humans commonly pick on the weak or hurt. It might be some strange looking guy in the crowd, an elderly driver going 25 miles per hour on the freeway, someone stuttering during an interview on the six o'clock news, or an obese friend. Criticizing people with imperfections sends our children a message that the shortcomings of others are intentional and exclusive to everyone else but us. They learn to criticize others for not correcting those flaws, even when the flaws can't be changed, and to react negatively to imperfect people rather than respond with empathy and understanding.
Empathy is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children, because it helps them see the good in those around them. If we work hard to raise empathetic children, they'll develop a sense of inner strength that will protect them against outside influences beckoning them away from the proper choices.

Hartnell College Scholarship Recipient Credits Internet With Saving His Life
May 19th, 2003
Hartnell College graduate Daniel Delacruz of Salinas has received a $1,500 scholarship to attend California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB), in the fall.
He will major in Telecommunications, Multimedia, and Applied Computing (TMAC). The CSUMB scholarship is designed to promote access to local area students interested in attending the university.
Delacruz, 34, was diagnosed with a rare life-threatening enzyme-deficiency disease (Fabry disease), when he was 22. He credits the Internet with saving his life.
"When I was told I had Fabry disease, there was very little that could be done for me medically," he says. "That's when I went to my computer and the Internet. I learned that experimental work on Fabry disease was being done by a Dr. Robert Desnick at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City."
Delacruz contacted Dr. Desnick and was later admitted to the doctor's Fabry study group, and received a full range of clinical services including a medical evaluation and enzyme replacement therapy. For six months, Delacruz flew to New York every two weeks to receive the replacement therapy. In the last few years, he has received the therapy at the University of California, San Francisco, Medical Center.
Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the replacement therapy for Fabry disease. Delacruz is delighted. "I finally should have this treatment available to me locally," he says.
Once he completes his studies at CSUMB, Delacruz plans to pursue a law degree and Ph.D. degree in clinical psychology. He is aiming for a legal career, specializing in civil liberties.
Delacruz and his wife Allison have a son, Daniel Jr., 13.
(Note to Reporters and Editors: Daniel Delacruz is available for interviews. If interested, call Ron Bottini at (408) 377-0955)

'Magic Mike' Bares a Soul
Kat Murphy, Special to MSN Movies
Summer steamrollers like "The Avengers" sometimes feel like cinematic beat-downs. Good or bad, the mechanics of these big brawls can be numbingly repetitious. Their vulnerable manflesh stuffed into kid costumes and muscle suits, superheroes battle one another bloodlessly, bumping and grinding in the service of saving the eternally imperiled world. Borrrrr-ing! For an antidote and a really good time, go see "Magic Mike," Steven Soderbergh's funny, exhilarating, down-and-dirty celebration of a different breed of costumed superstud -- and a much earthier brand of bumping and grinding.
Soderbergh's footloose movie about Tampa hunks who strip for a living is no "Nashville," but this director shares Robert Altman's eagle eye for the idiosyncrasies of folks who populate a show-biz subculture, as well as his ability to riff on rhythms of half-heard, possibly improvised conversation among guys who share a trade, however infra dig. Drawn from Channing Tatum's own stint as a stripper back in the day, the script -- by first-timer Reid Carolin, the actor's producing partner -- doesn't aim for big narrative fireworks. The story flows the way life does when you mostly live at night: working up a head of steam onstage, stoned, sleeping around with strangers, your days slipping by in a hangover haze.
Search: More on Channing Tatum | More on Matthew McConaughey
The movie's mornings-after and afternoon delights are drenched in bruised, golden-dirty Florida sunshine. That exquisitely decaying light can wear its denizens down, but it's also energizing, a real turn-on. "Magic Mike" catches that alternating beat in hot bursts of physicality and dreamy, drug-fueled languors. A slow-simmering love affair between Tatum and quirky charmer Jody Horn warms up during walks in the sun. As disengaged as a pleasant, vagrant breeze, Soderbergh's camera drifts around their conversations: casual, intermittent, sometimes inaudible, punctuated by laughter. Nothing's nailed down in Tampa's fluid light; Soderbergh's taking moving pictures of the flux and flow of human experience. (The director shot and edited, under his usual aliases.)
A lot of that flux and flow -- along with performances of astounding flexibility -- occurs in the Xquisite strip club owned by Dallas (Matthew McConaughey), a peacockin' cowboy in black leather. Spoofing his own studly rep while milking it for every last drop of sexual charisma, McConaughey owns the screen. Flamboyantly venal, Dallas wraps his big-cat purr around anything that moves. After finally(!) shedding all his cowboy gear toward the end of the movie, his sweaty, lubricious glee -- "Dallas be ridin' again!" -- is flat-out irresistible.
Club headliner is Tatum's Magic Mike, a supple jack-of-all-trades onstage and off. It's during one of his several day jobs that Mike "adopts" Alex Pettyfer's feckless Adam, who stumbles out onstage a klutzy virgin in black socks and baggy underpants, but comes off a big hit. As a hollow man instantly -- and fatally -- addicted to the adrenalin rush of women and money, Pettyfer's perfect. Xquisite's beefcake roster also includes Matthew Bomer ("White Collar"), Adam Rodriguez ("CSI: Miami"), WWE vet Kevin Nash and, most notably, "True Blood"'s Joe Manganiello as Big Dick Richie.
More benign than "Boogie Nights," "Magic Mike" never lays a bad rap on the stripper lifestyle. Instead, the movie mines the funny out of what could be dissed as sad and sleazy. Gotta love it when, following newbie Adam's backstage hazing, the grizzled old man of the clan rumbles wisely, "It's an initiation ... like 'Lord of the Flies.'" And it's a hoot to watch Sookie's favorite werewolf mend his best thong on a sewing machine, or the onetime "Lincoln Lawyer" lead in short shorts and midriff-baring T-shirt, showing Adam how to shed clothes con brio.
But it's Tatum's show. I've dissed "Step Up"'s hoofer and Nicolas Sparks' go-to sad sack ("Dear John," "The Vow") as an affectless hunk bereft of smarts or cool. But color me wrong. Playing Magic Mike, a good-looking, half-bright guy who aspires to something more than aging into a "40-year-old stripper," Tatum looks like a natural-born star. Not only can he deftly segue from comedy into drama, the boy's hot as hell as a stripper, strutting his stuff in trench coat, sweatsuit, marine camo, and especially draped in black shreds, a steampunk mutant channeling Fosse and hip-hop. (Choreography's by Alison Faulk, and the high-energy dance routines are terrific, cheesy but cherce.)
The big brawls I referenced earlier feature flesh-and-blood men gracelessly cocooned in superhero gear. In contrast, "Magic Mike"'s physicality, the power of real bodies in fierce motion, generates not only sexual heat but lizard-brain exhilaration. Flesh that moves ecstatically defies the stasis of death. The strippers on Dallas' stage are "c----rocking kings" because their moves (and Soderbergh's only apparently loosey-goosey movie) celebrate being alive in our human skins. Even stripping down on ladies' night taps into the power of kinesis to sex up any empty space, whether theater or gymnasium, with beauty and form and significance. Soderbergh gets that, and truth be told, so does the star of "Magic Mike."

Basically, lets say for the index.html page of a website, instead of using php to load the middle section( content between header and footer ) of the webpage?
You may come across a situation that this is good for. For instance, if your "page" is really a rather heavy-weight client-side web application, then perhaps this is the right choice. Generally though, this is a terrible idea.
What harm do you have in generating a page already filled with your content? You avoid compatibility issues, SEO issues, it loads quickly, and that's one less HTTP request to your server. Just because "good JS frameworks that incorporate this philosophy" exists doesn't mean it is the right method for your application.
Each site is different, but the default answer should be certainly not. If the conditions are right, then yes. Base this decision on what is best for your users.
Yes. Many frameworks are moving in this direction, and most consumer sites (Facebook, Twitter) load most of the content after the main page is loaded.
Provided your users have JS enabled browsers, the AJAX load improves user experience by providing a faster response time and a more dynamic interface for the content which is likely to change. If done correctly, it will actually improve the maintainability of your application by carrying data organization and presentation methodologies through your front-end.
If you want to dive all the way in there are good JS frameworks that incorporate this philosophy into your design, Sproutcore and Backbone are both worth looking into.
I'm building web applications now, so I read questions with that slant. If, as people have pointed out, you're just building brochureware webpages then you won't see a real benefit from AJAX content loads and will hurt your SEO.
If you assume that each of your visitors has AJAX-enabled browser (by which I mean JS turned on, etc.), then that would be pretty much correct. I'm not sure (source code looks like), but this seems to be the way Facebook loads it's middle section.
Of course you will have to use PHP either, I hope you know.
If Search Engine Optimization is a concern for the project the answer is NO =)
Search engines generally only fetch the source code for each page.

- Lighten Up Homemade Fries We all love French fries, but when you order them at restaurants and fast food joints, they are commonly fried not just once, but twice. Tossing hand-cut "fries" in oil and baking them in the oven drastically reduces both fat and calories.
