Movie News
The Stephen King news keeps on comin'! Check out who's going to adapt King's next book 11/22/63!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Stephen King news is always exciting to me. I've been a Constant Reader since I was in grade school (no kidding, I read Cujo at age 10) and despite some shaky entries to his catalogue these last few years, I still get excited when a massive King book is on its way.
Next up for King is a tale about a high school teacher given the opportunity to go back in time and thwart the JFK assassination. It's called 11/22/63, looks like a brick of a book (reports are that it runs around a thousand pages). I can't wait to read it as some of my favorite King writing centers around alternate timelines (Drawing of the Three and The Wastelands anyone?).
ShowBlitz/Variety's Jeff Sneider reports that preempting the release of the book comes news of an option from a man who directed one of the best horror movies of all time. Silence of the Lambs' Jonathan Demme is set to write, produce and direct 11/22/63 with King serving as exec producer.
No financing or distribution is in place, but Sneider says Demme wants to be shooting by Fall of 2012. If the book sales are strong enough and the reviews are strong enough (and the budget isn't astronomical) I can't imagine the studios will have much trouble with that duo bringing it to the screen.

He clearly has a pistol down his chin when he emerges from behind the street sign. The man was a time bomb, ticking day and night, waiting to go off. When he saw all the people cheering up, he knew it was time to go.

Let me guess
by Fletch Gannon
Some centipede monster is JFK and the assassin was trying to kill him before he sujugate the world with his mind-altering chemical that he eminates from his hair. The protagonist realizes he is the centipede monsters illegitimate love child and he somehow alters reality where mankind is enslaved to the monster and used for food. Classic Stephen King premise!

As a longtime Constant Reader myself (read Pet Sematary and Night Shift in fifth grade), this seems like a scraping-the-bottom-of-the-barrel idea.

Ah there was a Twilight Zone episode about this
by D.Vader
From the 80s, in which the time traveler was only supposed to observe, and it turns out he was a descendant of JFK and decided to intervene at the last second, saving JFK. But, JFK living caused someone to assassinate the Russian premier, which was going to lead to war between the two nations. A Secret Service agent finds the time traveler's future silver dollar with JFK on it, and the traveler confesses about who he is. The end is kinda tricky, but I think they determine JFK should have died, but the time traveler offers himself up in JFK's place. So they all go back in time again, the traveler is killed, and JFK is somehow transported to the time traveler's period and is last seen giving a lecture to a future history class about what bravery and courage and heroism meant in the 20th century.

Oh "Joy"...a new King novel....
by Arcangel2020
Can't say that I am thrilled with hearing about a new Stephen King novel coming out...didn't once state that he was retiring from writing? I have been less than impressed with Kings recently works...I had an extremely anger filled and violent reaction to his "novel" "The Cell"....it made me actually want to storm the village and hold a good old fashion book burning session and use the paper to hold a campfire and cook weenies and s'mores with it as the fuel for the fire (I say "book burning" very tongue in cheek here...I am just trying to make a point at how disgusted I was with what could have been a really GOOD story) And his novel "Under The Dome"? It was such a huge, monumentally thick book of crap, I couldn't even get through it...I even tried to force myself to finish it thinking it would get better at some point...I gave up after 200 hundred pages. Maybe this new novel of his will be a return to the days of "old" Stephen King....the days back when he wrote such terrific works as "The Shinning", "The Stand", "IT", "Christine", "Pet Cemetary" & "Night Shift" (just to name a few). Maybe I am being overly hopeful here...I think Mr. King should have retired long ago and took up teaching something like "Horror Writing: 666" at the local College Just my 75 cents worth here :)

He saves JFK, but it may not be for the better (possible spoilers)....
by spire_walk
He's been wanting to do this story for a long time, and has mentioned the synopsis on more than one occasion. The protagonist saves JFK, but when he travels back to the future, he finds the world a radioactive wasteland where a nuclear war had happened at some point between saving JFK and the alternate present timeline. The protagonist takes a fatal dose of radiation poisoning, and begins to slowly die of the sickness. He finds a way to travel back to the past, and ends up assassinating JFK himself in order to avert the nuclear war. So the timeline in which we live in is the result of another gunman. It's a ballsy story to be sure, so we'll have to wait and see if it actually plays out the way he envisioned it.

I'd rather see Terrence Malick reinterpret THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON.
by THE_CHOPPAH
Stephen King mentions JFK in a lot of his books... calls him a "gunslinger" in the gunslinger novels, which is a high token of esteem indeed for King. Also, King says that "it takes a great man to make a great mistake..." So, I can see King having JFK live and then having the world be worse for it. Could be a cool book. I agree, Under the Dome, was not his best work. Cool premise, but it got pretty muddy there in the middle, and I can't say I really even remember the end or have any inclination to ever pick it up again. Cell, started off pretty cool, but King should have kept it more scientific for once. The hive mind Zombies was oh-so predictable if you've ready any of his books... shame, I kinda dug the first half of Cell. Not sure if Steve does rewrites anymore. Maybe he just goes. "Ah, this'll sell, I'm finished! Next book, coming up."
Aug. 11, 2011, 11:15 p.m. CST
King's greatest weakness...
by spire_walk
...aside from thinking he's Mark Twain and Edgar Allen Poe combined, is that he doesn't know how to end a book. Cell, The Stand, the fucking Dark Tower, just to name three. In Book 7 of DT, he was outright defensive about it. "It's the journey and not the end of the story that matters, blah blah... and if you try to complain about the ending I'm just going to ignore you." The Journey is the most important, but when you just throw some shit together at the end, like Mordred, Flagg's retarded death, etc., that isn't a good ending. It's also the sign of an editor who's too afraid to call you out on your bullshit.

The ending to DT was great, imo - exactly as it should have been. Not every story has to end in an over the top show down. Sometimes quiet thoughtful endings are the best (e.g. No Country for Old Men).

2000AD did something along those lines where JFK in the future ordered a hit on himself, because he'd started a nuclear war (side effects of his Addison's disease made him irrational). So from their bunker where the remnants of America had survived, a hit team was assembled and sent back in time ...

SCOP by Barry N Malzberg (1976)
by Shan
SCOP is doing his job. He has spoken to President Kennedy, warning him to leave Dallas immediately; spoken to Zapruder, asking him not to take pictures. He has pleaded with Elaine Kozciouskos, begging her only to scream, has even slept with her - part of the job. In spite of the pain, he has witnessed, on location, the last minutes of Jack Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and Robert Kennedy - all for the fate of manking. But bitterly, he knows he is a failure. For Scop, in trying to alter the future, has merely reinforced it.

Ideas Running Dry...?
by barreljumper
I love King, but the guy who commented about the Robert Hay's USA Network movie had it right. This idea has been done...alot! Under the Dome was also pretty much the same as the Simpson's movie. While I'm sure it was a coincidence...it was sad that the Simpsons' came up with a more plausible idea and ending. Hopefully King has a few original gems still in his cap. I'd love to read those.
Aug. 12, 2011, 12:20 a.m. CST
by blackwood
I like his novels, the ones I've read, but uberman is right -- King's short fiction has never been better. I love both those books. I think he just excels at the short form. When a book gets big enough, it seems to get away from him -- and I can dig it, because he's a great writer, but sometimes fails a bit as a storyteller. But not in his short fiction. Demme is an incredible director. I feel like BELOVED never gets it's due. I'm cool with him getting in on this King love fest. I hope the book is good. I've been on a reading kick again -- THE MAGICIAN KING now, which I feel is probably going to be a film trilogy sooner rather than later.

Very few Horror novels do it for me. I can't tell you how many times I've read a novel length book and thought "that didn't need to be 300 (or more) pages" and felt that the book was padded out because the author had to deliver so many pages. This is probably why H.P. Lovecraft is my favorite Horror writer. He dealt mostly in short form with only a few stories that would qualify as a novella. Phillip K. Dick is the same. Incredible short story writer while I found most of his novels a bit meh.

with short stories, he always knocks it out of the park
by IWasInJuniorHighDickhead
same with his fiction up until 'It', a great example of a long book that can hold it together until the end. After this, there were still some OK novels but they suffer from shaky plots and/or padding, and a complete inability to tie up an ending. Dreamcatcher was fucking abysmal, as was Under The Dome. The latter is a textbook case of how to pad a short story out to interminable length. Cell I enjoyed, mostly because of the 'zombie' fix and the awesome premise, but he managed to scuttle that one too. Now I scan the synopsis on wiki before I decide whether to jump in or not. When he's good, he's great.

The cliché of going back in time to change history for the better (but the future ending up fucked anyway) has been done a million times before. Killing Hitler …bang … America is run my loony red commies blah blah blah, Time travel is fun in movies, TV and books but King has to twist the story in an unexpected direction otherwise we are going to be stuck with yet another predictable time paradox loop we've all seen before. <p> Changing the past that far back would effectively wipe everyone born after JFKs assassination out of existence anyway including the time traveller himself. The high school teacher must know that, then again he's an American schoolteacher so he is probably a moron or just doesn't give a fuck. Maybe he's hoping to become unstuck in time so he alone is the only original person from "our" timeline to make it back and everyone he knows was never born including his family that he probably must hate (maybe he was fingered my a pervert uncle as a kid and hates the world) <p> <p> As my father told be the day of my wedding "If you ever travel back in time, don't step on anything. Because even the slightest change can alter the future in ways you can't imagine." Good advice<br> I try to follow it .

Original Twilight Zone ep, "Back There"
by Blanket-Man
Starred the Professor from Gilligan's Island, who ended up back in 1865 and tried to prevent Lincoln's assassination. That was the first such "man goes back in time to prevent Presidential assassination" story I remember seeing on celluloid. So, no, it ain't exactly a groundbreaking plot, but neither was Salem's Lot. But King knows how to create great characters and build suspense, even if the tale is one we've heard a million times. I'm intrigued...

I'm a huge King fan too, but, the man did write his best stuff....
by Orbots Commander
....only up until the mid to late '80's, after that, I wasn't so impressed with his later works. I did like The Green Mile and The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, but aside from an excellent screenplay (Storm of the Century) I'm not that high on his recent stuff. So, yeah, King peaked somewhere around the time he wrote 'It', 'Misery', 'Eyes of the Dragon' and the re-release of 'The Gunslinger'. What was that, '86-'88-ish? I remember, I was still in Junior High...

Read most all King's stuff...
by Darth Macchio
..especially the old stuff (was a freak back in the day and joined his library, have all the original hardcovers up to 'Insomnia', etc) but I agree with the general consensus that he's lost his narratives on the longer stuff. "Insomnia" was ok if a little boring but his short-story stuff (last I read was 'Dreamscapes & Nightmares") is still very good. I tried to read Black House and got bored and didn't finish (which is sad cause 'The Talisman' is fucking amazingly good), and I got thru the first few chapters of "Wastelands" but couldn't get any further (something about the "mean" train "Blaine" just sounded so ridiculous to me I couldn't get past it) but yet the first 3 Gunslinger books (to me the actual story) are excellent (the first book being the best). Haven't been willing to invest the time into his latest stuff - I can't help thinking it all sucks now except his short story stuff. He's done excellent 'tomes' before ("It" being my favorite 'brick' King book, and much of "The Stand" of course), but I don't think he can carry them anymore but who needs them anyway? Even back when he did great long form work, his short stories were still better! Short-form horror writing really seems to be the appropriate literary context for these stories - from Matheson to Lovecraft to Serling, etc, etc...Barker might be one of few exceptions (his short story work is superb as is his longer form stuff as well) but the more recent Barker stuff has been pretty bad unfortunately.

Reminiscent of THE DEAD ZONE
by brodiebruce_405
which apparently dealt with similar themes with more brevity. How much for a bet that the protagonist finds out killing JFK, while preventing a murder, destroys something else equally important? Or affects the world in some other negative way. This temporal-causality vs morality theme has been dealt with before on the "Time & Punishment" segment of a Simpsons treehouse of horror episode, numerous episodes of STAR TREK and, as another astute poster remarked, more directly in an episode of RED DWARF.

That is pretty quick with the movie adaptation
by frank
Shouldn't they see if anyone likes the book first? Aren't there some other King books that could be made into films first? Under the Dome is a recent long book of his that could be a good film, I think. I will definitely read this new one, but it seems sort of premature to be planning the adaptation already. Also I liked the ending of Cell, and I wasn't as enraged about the Dark Tower ending as most people seem to be (though yeah, there are some definite issues with it).

Sounds Interesting
by bladerunner58
I look forward to reading the book, but sometimes king's books don't do well when made into films. Still, I think it would interesting to see what would have happened if JFK had not been killed. I would like to see a movie of 'Roadwork', it's my favorite Bachman book.

Stop JFK
by Dookiestain LaFlair
A better idea would be to have a high school teacher go back in time and stop Oliver Stone from making JFK. This would lead to an alternate time line where movies like Crusade with Arnold and Nottingham were actually made.

I'm a huge fan of FyodorPavlov and, so, ever since I saw this historymajorheraldic post, I've wanted to draw the twin to her Fyodor Basmanov only with Saint-Just. I almost didn't post this because I messed up a lot in the hands and the feet, and the coloring is terrible because all I had on hand were cheapy Crayola markers. But meh, meh, meh, whatever. I claim nothing. Go look at FyodorPavolv's amazing artwork. Mine is so suck in comparison. XD
Omg, someone have read my thoughts! :D
That's a spiff SJ if I've ever seen one.
…wow. Didn't know I was going to inspire artwork with that post. :)
Okay you're amazing I screamed (internally because I just woke up) and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yessssss this is wonderful.

Obama received an email informing him that terrorist were attacking our Benghazi consulate, and then hour after hour after hour passed while he did nothing!
I guess he didn't see helping out as optimal to his campaign efforts.
All the while our ambassador was being drug out in the street, anally raped and then killed – along with two ex-Navy Seals (who just happened to be in the area) and one other.
Gateway Pundit:
** White House officials watched the terror strike live by unmanned Predator drone
** White House knew Al-Qaeda linked group was behind terror strike at 6:07 PM EST on 9-11
** An estimated 300 to 400 'national security figures' received emails from Libya day of attack
** US Troops in Italy were not called in to rescue officials
** 200 attacks in Benghazi before 9-11
** The Obama Administration was concerned using troops from Italy would violate Libyan sovereignty
The US had troops in Sigonella, Italy – about an hour away.
The attack went on for at least four hours.

A Better Butter: Which Spreadable Nut Best Meets Your Needs?
By Kate Trainor
Peanut butter may pack plenty of protein, fiber, and stick-to-your-ribs satisfaction, but to reap the diverse health benefits of nature's nuts and seeds, you'll have to look beyond the standard jar of Skippy. "We need more variety than just peanut butter," says Susan Levin, staff dietitian for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. Although most nuts and seeds share similar qualities, each boasts its own nutritional perks—from fat-burning potential to cancer protection—that become concentrated when the nuts are ground into butters. "They contain protein, unsaturated fats, and antioxidants, and are naturally low in carbs," says Leonard Ram, MD, author of the Ram Nut Diet (Ram Nutrition, 2005). The following guide will help match the right nut butter to your health needs.
The power of almond
Rich in calcium, magnesium, and potassium, almond butter strengthens bones and helps maintain muscle and nerve function, making it ideal for athletes. These nutrients also boost the body's immune system and help ward off disease and infection. "Almonds are one of the best food sources of vitamin E, with about one third of the daily value per ounce," says Levin. Studies suggest that almonds may also reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer.
Try This: To boost immunity and build muscle before or after a workout, top spelt bread with almond butter and some banana.
Cashew for energy
During his heyday, muscleman Arnold Schwarzenegger swore by cashew butter. It contains iron, which, combined with its high protein content, will pump you up. Say "hasta la vista" to low energy with a spoonful. "It has less fat than other nut butters and is rich in protein," says Levin. With the creaminess of dairy but without all that saturated fat, cashew butter too is rich in B vitamins, which boost metabolism, increase skin and muscle tone, enhance the immune and nervous systems, and promote cellular health.
Try This: Add cashew butter to a smoothie for an energy-boosting breakfast. Include it in a sauce for noodles and fish (or poultry) for added protein.
Walnut to ward off fat
"Walnuts are the best option for omega-3s," says Levin. Eating a daily serving may lower cholesterol and decrease the risk of heart disease. A 2006 study by the Lipid Clinic in Barcelona, Spain, found that walnuts proved more effective than olive oil at countering the ill effects of high-fat foods. The reason? Walnuts contain alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid that helps maintain the elasticity of the arteries, which aids circulation.
Try This: Blend walnut butter, lemon juice, garlic, and chickpeas to create a heart-healthy hummus.
Purify with pecan
Perfect for detoxifying, pecan butter boasts a comprehensive dose of antioxidants, including vitamins A, B, and E, folic acid, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc. One tablespoon has 25 percent more oleic acid, a heart-healthy staple of a traditional Mediterranean diet, than a...

Ever since I can remember, I've been an 'artist'. I loved to color as a kid and spent endless hours on Gram's front porch carefully coloring every page in probably a million coloring books. Creating 'collages' of magazine pictures was another cherished activity. Then one day my Uncle gave me the most wonderful gift - a wooden box full of oil paints, brushes, canvases, and supplies. I immediately started painting, eventually developing my my own style. Later, I dabbled in watercolors and pastels, and charcoals.
I've also always had a camera - I think my first one was a Brownie - now I'm shooting with a SonyA200 and it never leaves my side. I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I enjoy taking them.
Leave a comment if you stop by, I'd love to hear from you!
Thanks for looking!! Peace.

As the moon shines his dark eerie light,
As the wolf howls his sorrowful cry into the night,
There is an irreversible curse being done upon the land,
Felt on every rock, rippled through the sand,
A curse of blood, death, and life all in one,
Burnt away with the hot, deathly sun,
They pitifully shovel dirt over me all night long,
Singing that hatred angel's song,
Long does he talk of God's scorn,
But I will be reborn,
Suffocating under the warm welcoming soil,
What's left of my blood brought to boil,
How carelessly they threw me in!
How quickly they declared me sin!
Though my body is not I am still the same,
But now this is MY little game,
Every angel, demon, monster bowed,
They destroyed every field the farmers plowed,
And now I walk alone at night,
Striking fear and dread within shadowy sight,
Long have I lived without a heart,
Long have I existed without a part,
100 years ago this day,
A vampire was born that night in May…

San Francisco Medical Marijuana » Cannabis Uses In History
Cannabis Uses In History
During the period 6000 BCE to 2000 BCE, Most of the Chinese used the seeds of the cannabis plant for the food purpose. First registered use of weed is as remedies for the health problem in China pharmacopoeia. In China, hemp fibers were used for making textiles also. In every country, humankind has used cannabis for a wide range of illnesses. Weed was harvested by Chinese for edible material and fiber.
Cannabis was harvested by Scythians to make cloths from the hemp fiber. Bhang is termed in the Atharva Veda which is the Hindu holy text as "Sacred Grass". Sacred Grass is one of the five sacred plants of India. It is used practically and medically as a providing to Lord Shiva. Scythians introduced hemp in to the North part of Europe. A vessel having cannabis's seeds and leaves uncovered near Berlin is dated at this period. Cannabis spreads all over the part of north Europe.
Pedanius Dioscorides stated that the cannabis plant was used as a Roman cosmetics and medicament. The usage of cannabis was spread over the Arabia during this period. The euphorigenic properties of the cannabis were stated by The Jewish Talmud. The learned person starts eating hashish at this time.
The cannabis was spread to Syria, Egypt, Bahrain and Iraq by the Persian legend of the Sufi master Sheik Haidar. The earliest Anecdote told that cannabis is an intoxicating agent. In the region of Caliph Mustansir of Iraq, hashish was introduced.
In the Northeast of Brazil, cannabis was bought to the sugar cultivation by the slaves of Angolan. They were allowed to cultivate marijuana between the sugarcane rows and they were also permitted to smoke it after harvesting.
After 1900
"Smash", the first cannabis oil seems to be formed. Red Lebanese gets to Florida. The Brotherhood Promoted the Afghani hashish.
After 2000
Britain's Home Secretary, David Blunkett, proposes relaxing the classification of cannabis from a class B to class C. Canada is first country in the world to offer medical marijuana to its patients.

The other day I went for a 50 minute walk and when I returned and checked on the Fitbit site, I had 40 Very Active Points. I entered the information on MFP (Start time and duration of walk) and it immediately deleted the Very Active Points from FB. The same thing happened yesterday. It seems when I enter my exercise info on MFP it affects my Very Active Points on FB. Am I doing something wrong? I am in a competition with my friends at work and it's very aggravating that I keep falling farther and farther behind in Very Active Points since I joined MFP.

This may not be the best answer or even the right answer, but I found the same and decided for this and other reasons to only track fitness activity on FitBit and food and water on MFP. MFP is far better with the food database and the community support which is why I track it this way. Others track it differently and hopefully, you will get some other suggestions and go from there.

You're not supposed to put the exercises in both places. Let Fitbit enter it and do not enter it here. That is a double entry. FB is very accurate. The only thing you log here is things like weight lifting and things FB won't log.

Marchesa to launch contemporary fashion line
Marchesa have announced they will launch a new ready-to-wear line at affordable prices later on this year.
Marchesa is launching a new contemporary line.
The fashion house's designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig have decided to create a ready-to-wear sister collection to their haute couture line, which will come at more affordable prices.
Co-founder Georgina told WWD: ''We have always had a vision for Marchesa to be a lifestyle brand. We have been very specific for eveningwear so far. We always had this dream that Marchesa could transcend into all different areas of lifestyle.''
Marchesa, worn by the likes of Kristen Stewart and Diane Kruger, is known for its romantic and ethereal designs and delicate use of embroidery, and the new line will follow the same core aesthetic.
The aim is to broaden the brand's reach by attracting a new kind of customer thanks to their less exclusive prices, with items expected to retail between $150 and $750.
Georgina added: ''It's going to be under the Marchesa umbrella, but with a slightly different feel. We have been so specific for such a long time, and the idea to broaden out to a different consumer, and to our same consumer as well. We haven't really looked at that market yet.
''My dream is to give Marchesa many facets, and that's just one of them.''
The new line is expected to launch at the end of the year.

James Bonnie wasn't worried about landing in jail for stalking his ex-girlfriend; he planned to keep calling her, deputies say, until she dropped the charges.
"When I'm in the jail, I'm going to call her again and have her drop the charges," Bonnie told detectives, according to his arrest report. "I'm not going to leave her."

New ManualJust completed my latest manual on Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant (FVIR) Water Heaters 30, 40 and 50 gallon. It is a 355 page comprehensive manual on all the different systems used by various water heater companies. It includes 95 color page illustrations. This is a must have if you want to properly install and service these water heaters. These are not your grandfathers water heaters. Included are the Bradford White ICON system, White Rodgers IntelliVent system along with Honeywell WV 8840 Control and Honeywell WV 8860 Control.
The cost is $99.95 plus $15.00 Shipping and Handling. Contact me at [email protected] or call 401-437-0557.

Can not believe thetwo e-mails I received concerning this posting.
E-mail # 1 We do not service these water heaters as it is cheaper in the long run to remove them and install a wall hung on demand.
E-mail # 2 Worst thing they ever did to water heaters, anytime I see one it is a new one without FVIR.
By the way 30, 40 and 50 gallon storage water heaters of any kind do not come with anything but FVIR since 2003 through 2007
What is the consensus among those posting here on HeatingHelp, do you service and repair these units?

Goes to show once againthat you can't fix stupid.
Now back to your question- yes, we'll service a tank-type heater, but if it's older than about 7 years or so we'll tell the owner to look at replacing it.
We do not push owners toward wall-hung tankless units. In the homes we work in there is often no good, safe place to install a sidewall vent, or a chimney flue that doesn't have something else using it. Plus, sidewall venting adds a lot to the cost of installation. Also, tankless units consume gas at much higher rates than tank-type ones, since they have to heat the water in real time. Running a new gas line adds to the cost, and in some cases the gas meter or even the gas service line from the street would need upgrading.
There are more-efficient tank-type heaters than the usual landlord-grade ones. We've been using Bradford-White's M4-series units and like them a lot. More recently they came out with the D4 series, which adds a stack damper to reduce standby losses. This one requires an electrical circuit to power it, but that's a lot less expensive to install than making all the changes needed for a tankless heater."Reducing our country's energy consumption, one system at a time"

More-efficient tank-type heatersDoes anyone in this country offer natural draft tank type gas water heaters with a barometric damper? I'd love to have slightly better answer for existing chimney venting.

I do not know of anystorage type water heaters with barometric draft control direct from the manufacturer. I have about a dozen or so that I have changed from draft hoods to barometric because of problems. In particular some on the new FVIR water heaters come with a built in vent restricter which causes high temps at the top of the water heater. By adding the barometric I can balance out draft and overcome some of the high temps.

Low gas pressureIn my area, the gas pressure (at the street) varies considerably: the new lines are run at 2-5 psi, as I recall, but many old lines are run at around 5" w.c., which means that you can't run most wall-hung on-demand water heaters (or condensing water heaters or boilers, or direct-vent/sealed-combustion units). It's a PITA. There is no way to get an "upgrade", the street pressure is too low. It can be completely different right down the street. This goes for Baltimore as well as DC, in my experience, though I have much less experience in Baltimore. Many manufacturers' require a minimum of 8" w.c. or so.

I must be lucky.The original gas mains in my neighborhood were installed around 1950. They looked like black steel gas pipe. They were nominally 15 psi, but when tested lately, they were closer to 8 psi. This summer, the gas company had all those pipes upgraded (they were starting to leak too much, for one thing). The old pipes were abandoned and new plastic pipe was installed. In addition to being about an inch bigger diameter, they put 50 psi in those pipes. They may have been 4 inches in diameter.
A one inch pipe goes to my regulator that puts out 7 inches of pressure that is enough. Well I suppose so, since the 8 psi pressure at the street could do that too. But everyone in my neighborhood is switching from oil to gas, so the demand is up. Also several of my neighbors are installing natural gas powered backup generators.

The issue with gas pressures tendsto be in the inner city with older low pressure cast-iron main systems which in the past ran at about 7" to 10" water column pretty consistently. Problems occurred with cold temps and high demand but we still usually had 4" to 5" W.C.
All these systems need to be upgraded to high pressure lines at around 50 PSI to be able to satisfy the demand that is now being placed on gas systems with all the conversions..

Found September 09, 2012 on Fox Sports:
PLAYERS: Kyle Busch, Clint Bowyer, Jeff Gordon
Kyle Busch watched his 2012 NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup hopes fade away in the wee hours of Sunday morning. A midrace decision by crew chief Dave Rogers to not pit during the sixth and final caution on Lap 277 of 400 of the race at Richmond International Raceway turned out to be disastrous. "What do you mean we've got to stay out? It was the (expletive) one (lap) to go (expletive)," Busch shrieked. By Lap 324 of the rain-delayed race at Richmond, Busch was lapped by race leader and eventual winner Clint Bowyer. Rogers asked his driver, "What do you need, bud?" The driver simply replied, "I don't (expletive) care." Ten laps later Busch pitted. With a miscue with lugs on the right rear tire, Busch dropped to 27th, three laps down. Although he was able to move up to 18th in 15 laps, Busch was mired in traffic and only recovered two positions in the final 40 laps. But with Jeff Gordon's second-place finish, his No. 24 bested Busch by t...

Not going to be a cake walk by any means.I told my son before the game that their was a possibility that we could lose to Butler, He said that we couldnt possibile lose the game because IU was #1 in the country and had too many great players.One loss this early really dont hurt our team, might just wake them up.

Not quite academic, but I published a short work under a creative commons non-commercial license. Before publishing, I did research and read the FAQ to make sure this license was right for my work and would allow people to share it but not re-sell it. I, however, retain the rights to sell it under the license.
After the ebook had been on Amazon for about a year, I got an email mansplaining to me that by making money on something with a non-commercial license, I was 1) breaking the law, 2) violating the spirit and ethics of the Creative Commons. He said that he'd initially been happy to pay for my work, but when he saw the licensing, he felt called upon to defend the Creative Commons and reported me to Amazon (which caused a headache).
When I emailed him back to point out the relevant passage of the specific license and the FAQ on the subject and asked him to do at least a little research next time before he tries "defending" the Creative Commons, he conceded the point but said that I was being "aggressive."
It's apparently not aggressive for him to email me out of nowhere and accuse me of breaking a law and threatening an institution (with no grounds other than what he happened to think the law/institution were), but for me to correct him in a slightly-pissed-but-not-vitriolic manner? Aggressive.

National accounts
Statistics on public finances are compiled under the conceptual framework of the European System of National and Regional Accounts (ESA95), supplemented by the ESA95 Manual on government deficit and debt. The national accounts system is built around a sequence of inter-linked flows, relating to various economic and financial transactions over a specific period, and also to balance sheets, which show figures for outstanding assets and liabilities held by the institutional sectors at the beginning and the end of the period under consideration. Government finance statistics, and in particular data concerning the excessive deficit procedure (EDP), form the basis for EU fiscal monitoring.
Non-financial accounts
The non-financial accounts generally tend to emphasise production of goods and services and the revenue generated from such economic activities over a given period. In the case of general government, these accounts are presented in the form of a table that gives all receipts (fiscal, parafiscal and others) on the one hand, and expenditure (current primary expenditure, interest charges and capital expenditure) on the other, without the interim balances being shown. In the accounting sequence, the balance of receipts and expenditure corresponds to the balance on capital account, which is effectively the dividing line between the "real" accounts and the financial account. It is this balance that determines the general government net lending or net borrowing.
Financial Accounts
The financial accounts indicate the various types of financial instruments used to contract liabilities and/or to acquire financial assets. In the case of general government, most of the time the data will refer to financing transactions in order to cover the budget deficit. But the financial account also explains any shifts in the portfolio's composition of financial assets and liabilities. In Belgium's macroeconomic accounts terminology, the financial accounts cover both the flows (financial transactions) and the claims and liabilities (outstanding financial assets and liabilities). The term financial accounts thus includes the financial account proper, the financial balance sheets and the accounts for other changes in financial assets and liabilities.
Excessive deficit procedure (EDP)
The Maastricht Treaty obliges European Union Member States to comply with budgetary discipline by respecting two criteria: a deficit equivalent to no more than 3% of GDP and a debt to GDP ratio not exceeding 60%, as defined in the Protocol on the EDP annexed to the Treaty. These reference values are based on Government Finance Statistics concepts (GFS). The government deficit is the net lending / net borrowing of general government as defined in the European system of accounts (ESA95), adjusted for the treatment of interest relating to swaps. The government debt is defined as the total consolidated gross debt at nominal value in the following categories of government liabilities (defined in ESA95): currency and deposits, securities other than shares excluding financial derivatives, and loans.
Council Regulation (EC) 479/2009 on the application of the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty establishing the European Community, requires the Member States to send Eurostat data concerning the EDP twice a year (end of March and end of September). These data are sent in uniform tables. These tables have been designed with a view to providing a consistent framework for reporting deficits and changes in debt, albeit with a link to national fiscal aggregates.
Council Regulation (EC) 679/2010 amending Regulation (EC) 479/2009 as regards the quality of statistical data reinforces Eurostat's powers to monitor data notified by the Member States.
Government finance statistics
The National Bank of Belgium has traditionally published data on the general government sectors in a specific chapter of the Statistical Bulletin, and the tables are also included in the Public Finance domain of Belgostat Online. Besides the national accounts data for the general government sectors, the tables give the consolidated gross debt of the different sub-sectors as well as official Treasury data at federal government level and for the Communities and Regions as a whole.
International Statistics
The last few years have seen major developments in government finance statistics, mainly at the instigation of the European authorities in response to requirements voiced by users for a detailed statistical system in the field of public finance. In order to disseminate these data, the European Commission (Eurostat) and the European Central Bank - have developed websites that are accessible to the general public. These distribution media give access to data from the countries of the European Union and and the Economic and Monetary Union, to the relevant methodological manuals, and to descriptions of the sources and methods used by the different Member States.
In addition, the Belgian public authorities are committed to respecting the standards set by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for the publication of macroeconomic statistics (Special Data Dissemination Standard). The statistics are published according to a precise timetable and information about their content and their composition can be accessed. The data and metadata published relate to the national economy and relations with foreign countries. A section is devoted to public finance statistics.
Related websites
Since 1999, the European System of National and Regional Accounts 1995 (ESA 1995) has been used instead of the ESA 1979 as the reference methodology for compiling the Belgian national accounts. The ESA 1995 was introduced by Council Regulation 2223/96/EC of 25 June 1996, and stipulates that all Member States must comply with it from the 1998 reference year onwards.
When the national accounts are compiled, as a global statistic, several classifications are taken into consideration. Dutch, French.
Financial accounts
Regulation (EC) 479/2009 requires the Member States to send Eurostat inventories describing the sources and methods used to calculate the data supplied: Belgium's EDP inventory and the list of units included under general government (Dutch or French).
Regarding the publication of Opinions on the statistical treatment of particular operations in response to calls from government authorities, the Board of the NAI has decided to adopt the same approach as Eurostat and publish the Opinions it has given (Dutch or French) from 30 March 2007 onwards on its website.

Do we have a self (ego, soul, actor, etc.) that exhibits free will?
After doing a little studying on ego and bundle theories of self, I have come up with two arguments on these topics.
The first argument is pretty simple and supports ego theory of self:
All of my actions, decisions, and desires stem from a nonphysical "experiencer" inside of me. Therefore, I must have free will and I must have a self.
The second argument supports bundle theory:
All of my actions, decisions, and desires are the form of emergent properties of my brain which are manipulated by the environment. In this case, I do not have free will (since the environment is causing my actions and making decisions on my behalf) and thus, I can not have a self.
Which of these arguments do you agree with more and why?
Could these arguments be more refined to give a better understanding of the self and free will?
What might be a more sound argument regarding this issue?

Apr 18 2013: your first argument in no way implies that you must have free will and that that means you must have a self as if not having free will means you don't exist gravity's force on you keeps your feet on the ground how much gravity can you hold in your hand i would say i'm describing a nonphysical experience or force which suggests i in face have no free will for i can not defy gravity any further than what force i can impress upon it now your second argument says we are products of our environment our environment being ourselves ourselves and environment being all the physical and nonphysical alike another way of saying everything that is has been and could every be is the self and free to be what ever it can will its self to be you being a manifestation of all this expressed to the degree of how much do you identify with as being self you are your cells but what free will do they have while they may not want those things you feed them your free will leaves them no choice in the matter what consideration do you have for them or do you only identify with their collective form and not you the individual cell you're as much one of your cells as you are them all

"Newt Gingrich, a newly-declared candidate, was trying to convince sceptical Christians that it was possible to believe in God and science at the same time."
If you take the word Christian and replace it with any other major religion, you would have a sentence so politically incorrect that it would necrosis see the inside of a publication without someone losing their job. I'm sorry you were talking about those big bad Christians again, please go on.
Trump down and no AAAAAAHnold running ever. :-S
Damn shame: Schwartzy ('Blacky' in German) had more natural charisma than 'Mr. T.' he (the former) said "Salim ... You're fired!". In Blacky's movie, 'Commando'.
Who knows, maybe Blacky UnShriven (or UnShrivered, whatever)will do an Eastwood and recycle hisself as Mayor of Someplace; like Hollywood, for example.
Blacky Un could be to California politics what Blackie Lawless is/was to heavy metal ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackie_Lawless
Yup, same here, ditto, I'm with you. I *did* vote for the GOP many moons ago, and *might* do so again, at some time in the hypothetical future. Looking at this current, ah... flavor of Republicanism, however, the time of broad appeal is far, far away, beyond any imaginable horizon. Quite frankly, these folks seem to not *want* broad appeal, only some sort of ideological purity. Political suicide, really...
Shouldn't be forgotten (if religion is one of the key issues in this article) that Huntsman is a mormon just like Romney. He's also from mormon-HQ Utah, unlike Romney, and is the only potential candidate who was voted into political office by mormons(Romney was in MA, where 2% are mormons)
It's really too bad the Republicans have such poor candidates to offer. Although I consider myself conservative, I've been reasonably satisfied with Obama. He stands firmly on the center, and defers to Congress-- a nice change from the Bush years. Despite those typical Democrat excesses, I think he's got my vote against the candidates the Republicans are tossing up this time. It's too bad, really. A two party system should have two good candidates rather than one mediocre and one awful candidate.
"On top of all that, he is a Mormon, a faith many Christians view with suspicion."
So is Glenn Beck, prominent tea party supporter. Now how does that work?
Politics is about being practical, something the religious right has not been very good at for decades.
Ron Paul has amazing appeal to 5% of the population.
How about the conservative favorite - Glen Beck. He may have been booted out of Fox network but he still is a real conservative and america as he calls himself.. given that he used to make 22 MM for being a lune on TV, he would have enough money.. and needless to say the press coverage.. I am sure he has a chance for republican nomination.. just like Trump.. Bauchman.. Palin.. Huckabee.. isnt the american elections funny..
The T-Party only speaks when their masters yank the chain.
Despite such a cheery preview of coming attractions, the oligarchy's candidates advertise a single, bleak feature: the radical undermining of our Constitution and the rule of law in order to enrich themselves. A democracy voting against its citizens' interests to elect any of these impostors is lost, and political commentators who spin such cotton candy are enablers.
As a former Republican now forced to vote Democratic because of the sheer nuttiness of the GOP, I have to say that this cycle's crop is especially discouraging. Not a single one of the Republicans running could hope for my vote; some (like Huckabee - thankfully not running) scare the living heck out of me due to their frankly insane religious views, the others seems to be as wedded to an economic theory (pure capitalism/libertarianism) rather than economic reality.
Barack Obama is not perfect as POTUS, but he's pretty darn good. I voted for him 2008, and am satisfied with him so far. In 2012 I will vote for him again. Maybe some day the Republican Party will emerge from this decade of decline back into the light. Until then, the Democrats will own the White House, and my vote.
Was this banal article written by an intern?
This reads like a goddamn wikipedia entry.
The only hint of Economist wit was the transition from Newt on a "loveseat" with Nancy to his adulterous past.
@Joyful Cynic, the entire media establishment seems to "forget" Ron Paul (at least when they are not mocking him). At the risk of being told to get fitted for my foil hat, I think they are scared of the popularity of some of his ideas.

America is quite fortunate in Mike Huckabee's declaration that he is not seeking the Republican party's nomination for President.
Actually, Mr. Huckabee, a Christian evangelist and minister, represents a real danger to the United States and its Constitution, given the fact that not long ago he made it clear that if elected President of these United States, the Christian bible would be his guide to presidential decision-making.
He obviously flippantly brushes aside the fact that the United States of America is a secular state, and that although the U.S. Constitution provides clearly for freedom of Religion, that freedom should not be interpreted as giving any of its followers or adherents who win public office the right to use its tenets, dogmas or doctrines as guides to decision making on purely public or secular matters.
The "Donald" was not really serious about running for President. It is now more than abundantly clear that he was merely seeking publicity. Yes, he succeeded in getting a lot of it--but all that it showed was that he is more of a clown than presidential timber.

How did you manage to forget Ron Paul in this parade of the imperfect.
I think also the GOP powers-that-be recognize that the most prominent Tea-Party and/or Bible-thumper Republicans, while perhaps very popular among the base, are viewed as basically insane by centrist voters.

Police and students collaborated to help children who have gone through traumatic situations.
Concord High School students put on a book drive with the help of Elkhart County Police.
Students wanted to find a way to give back to the community and the school resource officer suggested they collect books through a book drive.
The results were on hand Friday at Concord High School. The students bagged up about 400 books.
They would later be taken to the sheriff's department, and then given to kids.
Officer Rich Matteson said, "To get these books would mean a great deal to a child. When we're at a scene, the families and even the children that are involved in the accident or any kind of situation, you give the child even just a sticker but, to give them a bagful of books would really mean a lot to these children."
Concord student Becky Tubbs said, "We're hoping that these kids will be able to look at these books and be comforted from the situation that happens around them"
Generally the Elkhart County Sheriff's Department gives kids stuffed animals and stickers and fun stuff.
But, this time, they wanted to give children something more educational.
This was the first year they have done this book drive, but they are hoping to make this an annual tradition.
