Drop Header (24 Posts)
Gasper October 20, 2006 @ 9:15 AM
Contact this userI installed a WM EGH 85 with a drop header. The inspector thinks it may be piped wrong. I'm sure he's wrong. But I'm trying to locate a drawing with explanation of a drop header (yes it is a steam job). Can't find one as of yet. Can anyone help? I'm 99% sure it is better and exceeds the specs. Can anyone tell me otherwise? Frustrated in Detroit

Why not just goto the Library and scroll to Steam Piping where you will find many photos of well-done drop headers. It pays to wander off the Wall.Site Administrator

Contact this userAll (ok most) are very nice. But my dilema is I need something on paper, like out of a book, or a install manual, to fax to this shmoe-inspector. I have spec drawings showing drop headers tying two boilers together but nothing showing one boiler with a drop header. Still frustrated in Detroit...........sorry

ask the inspectorAsk the inspector what he KNOWS about the drop header system and what's his credentails (sp) within the steam system. Good and understanding ones will leave and learn the system at our expenses... and thanks us for the education. I replaced a 32 years old weil mclain egh85 (dry fired due to inproper installed replaced lwco by furnace co) with another weil mclain eg85 steam bolier, this time with drop header. Tenents thought they were losing their hearing as the system is MUCH quieter and even heating...

Ron Jr. went through this last year...... got into trouble with the BI for installing a drop header when no such option was listed in the manual, IIRC. I'm not sure what brand that was and whether they stepped up to the plate to sanction the use of drop headers or not. Do you have a copy of Dan's The Lost art of Steam Heating? It's a great resource and doesn't it explains the benefits of drop headers and how to pipe them quite clearly?... perhaps that would sway the BI?

What page?Have several copies. I didn't find much about drop headers in Lost Art. Obviously I may have missed it, but if you have specific page #s I'm all ears.

I have to get my copy back...... maybe yet another reason to buy another copy - I lent out mine and haven't got it back! I thought drop headers were brought up in the near boiler piping section where Dan details the evils of bull-headed T's, the need for low pressure, proper pitch, and so on. But unfortunately, I'm going on two-year old memory here as my book is AWOL!
N/A October 20, 2006 @ 7:04 PM
The Great Drop Header DebacleYep , we did fail an inspection for a drop header . Since this particular arrangement was not in the boiler literature , it was piped wrong in the eyes of the inspector . We did manage to convince him that drop headers are perfectly acceptable - thanks to a few kind people who emailed me diagrams of drop headers . Burnham has a parts breakdown for their steam boilers . I'll check my computer and see if I can dig up those diagrams . Do you have any pics of your drop header ? If not can you post a diagram of how it's piped ? Did the inspector say why it's piped wrong ?
Gasper October 20, 2006 @ 8:51 PM
Contact this userI could go back and take a pic. But it is perfect. Sorry no other way to put it. I don't know much, but piping a steam boiler I know.
N/A October 21, 2006 @ 3:02 PM
You meanto say your steam main pipework is " perfect " and you don't take pics of these installs ? Anyone in your company think of carrying around a book of pics of past installs to show potential customers ? If the work is as good as you say , the stuff will sell itself . I thought about our situation when the job failed . I guess I can see the inspector's point , to a fault . The thing that pissed me off the most is the customer had ALL the radiators heating better than ever , and there was no noise in the pipes anymore . Made it a point to tell the inspector too . Imagine repiping a boiler working " perfect " .....
Gasper October 21, 2006 @ 3:40 PM
Contact this userI said the piping was perfect. I didn't say our complete operation was perfect. We are a small company, and no we don't always take pics. In my mind it's darn near perfect. Quite honestly I see a lot of pics on here that are good jobs........but I see I see things like equlizers changing direction before the water line, lots of black to copper to black without dialectrics, and so on. Yes we do a big portion of our work through word of mouth (without pics). I explain, in detail, to the custumers, verbally and in our quotes the details about dry steam, pitches, correct pipe sizes, using all the tappings, etc. A lot of people don't understand or care, but they see that we know what we are doing, don't cut corners, and for some crazy reason like working on steam boilers, and that is what sells in my opinion. But you are right, gotta take more pics and use em.

Contact this userI agree, a lot of them are sheet metal guys or plumbers of the "set the toilet or sink" variety. These are some of the guys I come behind and repipe their install. Some of the tech help people at the manufactures' home offices don't even know what a drop header is.
N/A October 21, 2006 @ 4:07 PM
I work fora large company , and I'm the only one taking pics . Not that the other installers don't do good work , I just like keeping a record of what I did . Maybe to peruse in retirement ........ Are you gonna be hangin' around here for a while ? I'd love to see some of your steamer jobs , if you take some pics . I improved my install work considerably from the contructive critiqes from the experts here . And stole some ideas from the same gents . By the way , where did you learn the art of drop headers ? I tried my first one after seeing a job installed by Noel Murdough of Slant Fin - back in 2002 or so . 90 percent of my steamers have a drop now . Good luck with the inspector Patrick .
Gasper October 21, 2006 @ 4:27 PM
Contact this userDrop headers are a no brainer in my book. It takes all the stress off the sections. Also your header between the risers can be a tad long or short and no problemo. No fighten trying to connect that big union in the middle. Actually I put my unions in the risers. A couple of 2" unions can save more $'s then buying a big 3" (or whatever size) union.

Tell him to come hereIf he wants to see how steam should be done, give him this website address. It truly is a lost art and even the inspectors don't undesrtand it. Nearly all they get to look at is commercial in nature. Here in gray, cloudy, snowy Michigan, they probably run across a new steamer about once in a blue moon. Sadly, a good share of them wouldn't know what they were looking at when confronted with something like a drop header. When inspecting a three temp system using a Vitodens near Cadillac, I actually had the inspector ask me to explain everythign that was going on to him. He flatly stated that he didn't have a clue. I respect him for saying that. We went over everything piece by piece and he asked lot's of questions as we worked through the system. In the end he was more than satisfied and gave me the little green sticker. The problem is, they (inspectors) rely on manufacturers recommendations and drawings and if they see something that's not illustrated or listed, it's a red tag. Most of the time, they are right to do so as we have seen hundreds of butchered steam systems here on the Wall. Maybe we need to make some phone calls to some of the manufacturers of these boilers and tell them to update their illustrations.

Sabina's Cookie and Muffin Delight
January 3rd, 2011
Bosomy and curvy baker Sabina Leigh has whipped up a tasty treat. No, not those cookies although we're sure they taste sweet. We mean her other treats. A well-rounded girl, Sabina appreciates the creamy goodness of a curvaceous figure. "I am often surprised at how people respond to my body, especially when they see me in person. Being exposed to all those images of slender women in the mainstream media and even in other adult magazines, kind of makes you feel like there's only one body style that's attractive. So, knowing men, and women, enjoy women who are more full-figured is really great." Like many girls who have shed their clothes and inhibitions in these Hallowed Halls of Hooters, Sabina has difficulty finding bras. It's a never-ending battle. "Usually I have to go to specialty bra shops and have them fitted or specially made. Sometimes I have to settle for bras that aren't very pretty, because they just don't make them in my size. So if anyone out there knows anything about bra manufacturing, that's what I need. One that's pretty and supportive in size 34G. That's a lot to hope for." Sabina Leigh. Model. Sexologist. Toy maker. Educator. And all-around sex-bomb.

'Twilight's' Kellan Lutz: I Want To Be In The 'Bourne' Series & Play Captain America
"Twilight Saga" star Kellan Lutz is starring in the massively successful vampire series, but the actor has his sights set on something more than just playing a bloodsucker.
"I'm making this checklist as an actor," Kellan told Zap2It.com, saying he's considering a slew of roles in action flicks and romantic comedies.
But he'd really love to star alongside Hollywood's coolest forgetful former government agent.
"Right now, I just really want to be part of the 'Bourne' franchise, and the more I say that, maybe Matt Damon will read it and maybe I can play his brother," he said.
And Kellan also reveled that he's also up to sport some star-spangled spandex.
"I'd love to be Captain America someday," he added.

We offer two ways to locate information:
The origin of the name "Aloxe-Corton" indicates how old this village of 200 inhabitants is. "Aloxe" is derived from "Alussa," meaning "the country of Alus," a Gallo-Roman deity. The name "Corton" is less certain: some speculate that it is taken from the Latin "cortis," a rural residence; or that the village was names for Curtis d'Othon, a Roman emperor and close ally of Nero. Vines have been planted in Aloxe since at least 775, when Charlemagne bequeathed his vines to the Abbey of Saulieu in recompense for the pillage of their monastery at the hands of the Saracens. The commune only added the name of its famous Corton vineyard to its own in 1862, becoming Aloxe-Corton.
The grand cru vineyard of Les Pougets is comprised of two parcels covering 24 acres on the upper- and mid- slope directly adjacent to the Le Charlemagne climat. It is among the five vineyards of the commune in which the variegated soils, alternating between chalk and iron-rich marl, produce both Corton-Pougets and Corton- Charlemagne. Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot is proprietor of a superb, due southerly-exposed parcel of 3.71 acres purchased in 1914. This exceptional site yields a wine of sumptuous brilliance and complexity, powerfully structured and richly fruited. The aromatic Pinot Noir bouquet and deep, layered berry and oak flavors culminate in a seductive, persistent finish.
"A powerful, expansive Corton whose firm structure lifts the cherry, spice and mineral flavors. A little dry on the finish, but there's a lot of sweet fruit. Best from 2012 through 2021. 200 cases imported."

Wine Spectator
The House of Louis Jadot has been producing exceptional Burgundy wines since its founding in 1859 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot. For the past 150 years Louis Jadot has continued as one of the great names of Burgundy and has gained international reputation for its superb red and white Burgundy wines. Louis Jadot is not only one of the largest producers of estate Burgundies of the Cote d'Or, it is one of the most celebrated exporters of premium Burgundies, owning close to 140 acres of vineyards from 24 of the most prestigious sites in Burgundy.
The region of Burgundy is the fairytale land of vines. There are stories of kings, conquerors and commoners recounting the seductive effects of a Burgundian wine. Even now, many wine aficionados and lovers will pinpoint their most memorable wine moment at that first taste of an aged Burgundy. Much of this can be related to the terroir of Burgundy.

Herbert Smith hit by associates' racism claims
Readers' comments (4)
Indian lawyers
Herbert Smith had been aggressive in hiring Indian lawyers last year and it looks like they were not careful in hiring at least some of them. This surely is not a case of racism and should also not reflect on the abilities of Indian lawyers.
All magic circle firms and most US firms have had an excellent experience with Indian lawyers and they are still hiring them in large numbers, despite the choppy markets.
Indian lawyers
I think that people are losing the plot.
If you put a piece of meat in the fridge, your vegetarian colleagues will say that you are violating their right not to see that kind of food close to their courgettes!
If a woman wears a short skirt there will be a nice guy telling you that his religion forbids him from working with women in "those conditions".
If you make a joke about a gay you will be sued! If say that going to gym makes you feel better, your "fatty" colleague will feel personally offended!
enough is enough!!!!!!!
Cultural integration??
Err.... you didn't hire them to be British, did you? You hired them to generate billable hours! I'm told one source of frustration is the discounting of a couple of years' experience because "there is no training contract requirement in India" and ergo, not enough work being fed to these associates because "their charge out rates don't justify it".
One large homogenous group?? Come on, we're talking about India here! That's one billion homogenous groups of one each!!
Indian lawyers and globalising firms
Such training should be mandatory for all lawyers at all stages and all backgrounds. Integration must go both ways. Both new Indian and other foreign recruits as well as their British colleagues should take part in such courses - and learn from each other. The most effective globalising firms will be those that can accept and work within and across cultural diversities. Indian lawyers at HB have raised an important issue that would be foolish to sweep under the carpet. Training of this sort will be especially critical for British lawyers if they enter the Indian market in future. Indian clients will certainly not appreciate - nor tolerate - ignorance of their norms and approaches to doing business.

Fill Station
This thing reminded me of one of those steam train water stations that you see occasionally next to a set of tracks, so I'm going to go out on a limb here and speculate that this is where the water truck refills at, as it is similar in design and right next to the water main (the galvanized steel pipe in the background). I never did see it in use though, so it might be something else entirely.
And while trying to see if steam train water station has a more proper name, I found the worst eHow article ever:
In the early 1900s, large water containers were used to fill the steam-powered engines. Nowadays, a large hose will suffice.
1 Connect the hose to a water spigot.
2 Remove the cap to the water tank in the train's engine.
3 Place the other end of the hose in the water tank.
4 Turn the dial on the water spigot all the way to the left to begin filling the train's water tank.
5 Monitor the water level in the train's engine.
6 Turn the dial on the water spigot all the way to the right when the tank is full.
7 Remove the hose and replace the cap to the train's water tank.
The dial on the water spigot? Is that similar to a knob or a handle? Are people trying to codify common sense on the internet? I can tell you with certainty that as long as I'm here spreading misinformation via the same mechanism, that's never going to work out. I'm off to write an article on how to fill a bucket.
Maybe these posts would be less cranky if I wasn't so hungry when I wrote them.

The trouble is you think you don't have time.
Even though I've loved many of the places in which I've lived or been, I've somehow spent the majority of my life in London and Singapore (admittedly the latter was not by choice). Both cities brim with a sense of urgency; from Londoners tutting at slow-moving tourists to the almost ubiquitous pressure in Singapore to accelerate through one's career and accumulate, what the locals call, the 5 Cs as quickly as possible (cash, credit card, car, condominium and country club membership).
People in these cities stride as though they are purposefully heading somewhere important, both literally and figuratively, because they are never where they want to be right now. As if, in a time-bending way, the present somehow exists only as an afterthought.
I know these traits are far from exclusive to these two cities; in my travels I've met with reactions of disappointment, disdain or plain confusion because I hadn't achieved X by a certain age from people with different cultures. As if it were universally inconceivable that anyone would voluntarily step off life's conveyor belt towards the 5 Cs.
So in response, some of us try to squeeze more into our lives. More work, more promotions, more clients, more academic credentials, more professional qualifications, more awards, more cute videos of our children, more networking, more exciting extra curricular activities till we feel like we don't have the time to just sit and breathe.
The trouble is, the less we breathe, the more we feel suffocated by our lives.
The less we breathe, the more the hamster wheel of accomplishment becomes exhausting.
The less we breathe, the less we think we have the time to do anything significant or even that anything we do can be significant (see a previous post "How we change the lives of others without even knowing it").
The less we breathe, the less we realise that we only do half the things we do because someone else told us those things are important.
A friend and I came up with the analogy that we are on running on a treadmill in life and whenever we feel we are not enough, we turn up the speed of the treadmill by taking on more work, more courses, more projects, more fun activities and more socialising. We're still running on the same spot and not making any progress in life but now we're frazzled and getting increasingly deranged.
And perhaps all we need to do is (to allow ourselves) to slow the treadmill down, take a few slow breaths, get off the belt and simply walk, however slowly, outside. We risk feeling the full force of life but perhaps we could just trust that our legs are strong enough (especially with all the training we've already done).
This year I've learned to take the time to breathe, consciously breathe. A recurring reminder is set to prompt me to take a few deep breaths a day during which I acknowledge what I've done and how life is progressing. I also find at least 10 minutes a day to meditate, it's amazing how a small amount of concerted focus on the present moment can help to clear some of the din in my head. And every weekday, my boyfriend and I email each other three new things for which we are grateful that day.
And what a positive difference these rituals have made in my life.
This practice of being present, breathing, acknowledging and being grateful is age-old common sense and yet perhaps not practiced consciously (or practiced at all) by so many of us.
To be honest, I'm not quite off the treadmill yet but I've slowed it down considerably and in doing so I am able to see just how ineffective and wasteful of energy I was. I am now able to properly admit that I have the time to walk. And that I'm scared of stepping "out there" because I've spent all this time worrying about it and ashamedly hiding rather than just going out the door and experiencing whatever comes.
To give you a glimpse of what it is like in my head sometimes, I'll leave you with this animation.
Maybe, like Gary, it's time for me to get out. After all, I am enough and there's beauty and challenge awaiting beyond that door.
Previous post: The trouble is you think you have time.

The other day in the car I was having some fun talking to the children, and said, "If you had 3 wishes, what would you wish for?" I was curious what they would say!
Here are a few of their responses:
"That I could eat a horse" (that was my 3 year old)
"That I could fly"
"That I could drive a car now!"
"That I could have my own pirate ship" (that's why the strange photo at the top!)
As they were getting excited talking about it, I was thinking to myself, I wonder what mine would be? So eventually when they had finished, I told them what I would wish for.
Here are mine:
- That Jesus would come back tonight!
- That our children would be saved and follow God wholeheartedly all their lives.
- That I would finish all that God has given me to do.
I surprised myself quite a bit, because last time I thought about things like that, probably back when I was quite young, I remember flying being one of my wishes just like the children!
But now I think I realise that it is only eternal things that really matter - everything else is only for a season, and in the light of eternity that season is incredibly short.
So it excited me and inspired me to try to keep my mind on the things that are really important. We can get so swept up in the cares of this life that we forget that life is short and soon we will meet our Maker.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:17,18
It also reminded me of the story of King Solomon and how he prayed and God asked him what he wanted. We can ask God for what we want too, in fact He encourages us to!
So though it's not like at all like a genie, where we are guaranteed to get whatever we want, we should ask for these things and trust God that He will give us what is best in His good time.
'Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find...' Matthew 7:7
So how about you? What would you wish for if you could only have 3 wishes?!

Hardest Berry to Swallow
Walt is definitely a master at manipulating Jesse, but it was a little too difficult to believe that Mr. White would have the time to feed Brock lilies of the valley between packing up his family and laughing manically in his own crawl space. Saul must have been involved, but at what point did he inform Walt of how important Brock is to Jesse, get his bodyguard to pick Jesse's pocket, tamper with his cigarettes and then replace them seamlessly? How did Walt know that Brock's doctors would be completely stumped about the kid's illness? And that Jesse would come to his apartment (unarmed, no less, while Walt had a gun handy for him to use) to threaten but not kill him? And is Walt so brilliant of a botanist that he knows which plants only temporarily poison children? As much as we loved the twist, we're calling BS unless Jesse remembers that missing ricin cigarette in the first minute of Season 5.

Moffat's Thoughts On Peter Capaldi: "He's Scottish!"
What is it? That tangible, otherworldly quality that separates us mere mortals from the kind of beings that can carry off the mantle of the Doctor?
Is it an affectation? A stern, unswerving moral fortitude? An outsider's perspective? A cocksure attitude?
Well, ask Steven Moffat – who, while speaking to IGN at last week's BAFTA Game Awards, where he presented Naughty Dog with the gong for Best Story for The Last of Us – just what is it that makes Peter Capaldi one of these select few and he'll tell you it has something to do with his postcode:
"Scottishness. I think that's the main thing. I mean watching him, and I just watched episode two actually, you don't go around thinking this is an older bloke as The Doctor, particularly. But then I don't know if I ever thought Matt Smith was young?
Inhabiting the role of the Doctor also means that occasionally, those very same qualities that make you the perfect representative of the downtrodden, will almost certainly have you declaring in no uncertain terms that we're all doomed. And if you crave verisimilitude in annihilation, what better accent than a Scottish one?
You just think my god, he's Scottish! And doomed dialogue doesn't half sound great in Scottish. You say the world's about to end in a Scottish accent, and you really believe it!
Well, it worked for Private Frazer.
4 Responses to Moffat's Thoughts On Peter Capaldi: "He's Scottish!"
Wonder how Strax is going to react
Dude, they ought to really get each other now. I am soo looking forward to this. In fact, I am of th efirm opinion they should start drinking together. I would like to see the Doctor acknowledge Strax in a healthy way, unlike before really.
Swearing with anger in a Scottish accent, especially a Glaswegian one is quite intimidating. I can't imagine Malcolm Tucker would have worked as well otherwise.
Oh, I don't know. As a Scouser I think another accent would work pretty well for that!
On the wider issue, I reckon doomed dialogue delivered with authority and conviction works pretty well regardless of the accent. Luckily the Twelfth Doctor will surely have plenty of both as well as the Scots accent.

"Whenever I really want a part, I'm not sure what to do. How do I let the director know how obsessed I am and willing to do anything for the movie? Like, I wanted to write this one director a letter, so I wrote him a handwritten note. But then I was like, How many people are writing this guy handwritten letters? Is it going to seem cheesy? What do I do? Do I sleep outside of his house until he agrees to give me the part? […] It makes you feel supercrazy. It's like, 'Please give me this part! I'll boil a rabbit!'"
if you focus on what you left behind, you will never be able to see what lies ahead.

In California and elsewhere some people oppose smart meter rollouts, claiming these devices pose human health risks. A new study just released by the California Council on Science and Technology (compiled at the request of that state's legislature) found no evidence of such risks…
On Jan. 11, CCST released Health Impacts of Radio Frequency from Smart Meters. This study was requested last year by California Assembly members Jared Huffman and Bill Monning. CCST did not commission any new research for this report; instead, it reviewed existing scientific and technical literature and standards — and there has been ample prior research on this topic.
None of the research reviewed by CCST showed scientific evidence of harm to human health caused by smart meters. The report also noted that radio frequency (RF) emissions from smart meters are much lower than those of other common household devices. (See pgs. 20-21)
More than 50 million wireless meters have been in use around the US going back as far as 1990, with no documented adverse health effects.
The CCST report discussed the potential for both thermal effects (health damage caused by heat created by radiation) as well as non-thermal effects.
Thermal effects from RF emissions and other types of electromagnetic radiation are well understood. According to the report, the FCC has adopted fairly conservative guidelines to guard against such thermal effects. Even in a worst-case scenario that assumes continuous operation (most smart meters operate only a small portion of the time, see p. 11), FCC's guidelines provide a large safety margin (p. 16).
CCST noted that the FCC guidelines offer a "significant factor of safety against thermal impacts, the only currently understood human health impact." (p. 24)
Concerning possible non-thermal health impacts, CCST concluded: "There is no evidence that additional standards are needed to protect the public from smart meters." (P. 27)
Furthermore: "There currently is no conclusive scientific evidence pointing to a non-thermal cause-and-effect relationship between human exposure to RF emissions and negative health impacts. For this reason, regulators and policymakers may be prudent to call for more research while continuing to base acceptable human RF exposure limits on currently proven scientific and engineering findings about known thermal
effects." (p. 16, italics added)
Finally, CCST noted that similar concerns over potential RF emission impacts "should apply to all other electronic devices that operate with similar frequency and power levels — including cell phones, computers, cordless telephones, televisions and wireless routers." (p. 14). The CCST recommends that people who are concerned about RF exposure should support more general research into RF exposure, rather than focus on smart meters.
Despite this recommendation, or the report's generally reassuring conclusions, California Assembly Members Huffman and Monning have cited this study as justification for their proposition that "customers should be allowed the alternative of having a hardwired smart meter."
Hardwired meters are somewhat more expensive. It requires running a phone line to the meter from the home's existing phone connection, and installing an additional box on the home. This typically increases the capital cost of the meter and installation by 50-100%. Maintenance costs are also substantially higher for hardwired meters, due to issues such as gaining access to the telephone line, handling changes when customers move or change telephone suppliers or services, responding to equipment upgrades made by telephone providers, and more.
CCST is accepting comments on the report through January 31.

libjpeg-turbo is a JPEG image codec that uses SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE2, NEON) to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and decompression on x86, x86-64, and ARM systems. On such systems, libjpeg-turbo is generally 2-4x as fast as libjpeg, all else being equal. On other types of systems, libjpeg-turbo can still outperform libjpeg by a significant amount, by virtue of its highly-optimized Huffman coding routines. In many cases, the performance of libjpeg-turbo rivals that of proprietary high-speed JPEG codecs. libjpeg-turbo implements both the traditional libjpeg API as well as the less powerful but more straightforward TurboJPEG API. libjpeg-turbo also features colorspace extensions that allow it to compress from/decompress to 32-bit and big-endian pixel buffers (RGBX, XBGR, etc.), as well as a full-featured Java interface.1,661 weekly downloads

Never be ashamed of a scar. It simply means, that you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you......
No substance, and it bears little relevance to the forum IMHO.
Words are cheap. Actions speak volumes. Charlie Chaplin couldn't carry Winston Churchill's undershorts. But, it is what it is: food for thought. Thanks for posting.
OK. I was a wee bit harsh. Sorry.The OFF TOPIC/HUMOR forum? Really??
I only listened once and my wife was talking to me as usual so I didn't hear it all. I would have played it again but I did not expect her to stop. Anyway sounded rather Utopian
to me. reminds me of the occupy protesters wishful thinking that if we all just share and provide for everyone everything will be great. Unfortunately we are flawed human beings
and human nature being what it is I doubt we can get there.
Science and progress will lead to happiness.
Don't see it, personally.
We have guided missiles and misguided men and women.
Happiness is still an inside job.
And, in my opinion, always will be.
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose. - Jim Elliott
The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
Albert Einstein
Happiness is still an inside job.
In about 1971 there was a re-release of the 1940 Chaplin movie; "The Great Dictator." I made the mistake of taking my then 9 year old nephew to what I thought would be a comedy, given that Chaplin was the star. I had no clue the topic, nor had I heard of this film prior.
It wasn't comedy. Yes, Chaplin was mocking Hitler as only comedians can, but it was a very disturbing movie. It was prescient. I don't think the original 1940s audience could have realized the full importance of that film as harbinger of the nightmare which was to come.
I left both drained and sorry that I took my nephew. Fortunately, I think he was still too young to actually understand the film.
Do note that this flick was produced prior to our active involvement in WWII; though that calamity was already underway in Europe.
If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.
Andrew Jackson
"The Great Dictator" was a fantastic film and this was a great monologue. It was also, sadly, the beginning of the demise of Chaplin's career. It forced his exile from the US as there was concern that it would offend Hitler & he would use it to inspire action against the US. Great Britain felt similarly and would not allow him asylum.
I still like Ike's "Military Industrial Complex" speech as one of my favorites.
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."
- Roy Batty
Charlie Chaplin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.

A petition filed by two groups against the state of California for unconstitutionally influencing the elimination of redevelopment agencies could possibly be a major player in whether Galt is able to move forward with its Old Town building projects.
Galt has had to halt its Old Town Relocation Project due to the fact that two trailer bills in the state budget prohibit cities from using their redevelopment agencies for building projects unless cities first pay the government a specified amount of money to keep the agency open.

Troy Glaus made his first start of the season at third base in what could have been the Braves final game of the year.
He was pressed into emergency duty for Game 4 Monday night, after Brooks Conrad committed three errors in Game 3 and manager Bobby Cox had little choice but to pencil Glaus in at third base and move Omar Infante to second.
Glaus had played third base for the first 12 years of his career but this season he'd played only four innings – two as a defensive replacement on Sept. 8 at Pittsburgh and two in extra innings on Friday night in Game 2 in San Francisco after entering the game in a double-switch.
Glaus was signed to play first base and played first for the first 4 ½ months of the season before offensive struggles and injuries to his knees and ankles prompted the Braves to trade for first baseman Derrek Lee.
"He has played third," said Cox, whose only other options were Eric Hinske who hasn't played third base all season or rookie Diory Hernandez,

Submitted question:
hi there :) i normally dont do this because i dont like letting my pictures out on the internet (just a bi paranoid haha) but im going to be getting a haircut here soon and i hate my bangs, so i was wondering if you could give me a suggestion based on the hair type i have now. im not a huge fan of stright cut bangs, so besides that, do you have any suggestions?
here is me with the way i usually wear my bangs (do not want)
so do you have any suggestions? preferably something that can help frame my face a bit better. thank you for your help and sorry if this was a bit "much" as far as a question goes.
thank you for all of your help
Response from Lolita Tips:
You're so cute! And I agree that straight bangs might look a little off for you. I think to really frame your face you could really pull off something like this with thicker bangs that are pulled off to both sides:
It would be especially pretty if you curled it loosely like that too. You would also look really cute if you were to just grow your bangs out to the length of the rest of your hair and style them in, leaving it parted down the middle. Something like this:
I think both of these would look really cute on you, especially if you got layers to help make your hair look bouncy and flowy if you were to curl it.

Founded in 1994, Habitat for Humanity Whitley County, a local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, is Whitley County's only non-denominational, Christian-principled housing ministry dedicated to eliminating substandard housing in Whitley County. Working in partnership with local churches, businesses, individuals and other non-profit organizations to plan, staff and fund the renovation and building of Habitat homes we have and will continue to serve those in our community in need of simple, safe, affordable housing. By reaching out to our community in this mission we hope that others will see our faith in action and in turn experience God's love and presence in their lives.
Our Mission
Habitat for Humanity of Whitley County works in partnership with God and people from all walks of life, to develop communities with people in need by building and renovating houses so that there are decent houses in Whitley County in which every person can experience God's love and can live and grow into all that God intends.
Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliated organizations (HFH) will not proselytize. Nor will HFH work with entities or individuals who insist on proselytizing as part of their work with HFH.

Our Goals...
The ultimate goal of Habitat for Humanity Whitley County is to eliminate unaffordable and/or substandard housing from Whitley County by building and renovating decent and basic housing. Furthermore, all of our words and actions are for the ultimate purpose of putting shelter on the hearts and minds of people in such a powerful way that substandard housing becomes socially, politically and religiously unacceptable in our county and world.

I just love all-in-one breakfasts...don't you? A complete breakfast (and then some!) in one easy to eat little square. I've always like breakfast casseroles, but it's rare that I get a chance to make them. During the week I'm usually alone for breakfast (Bubba prefers a yogurt and breakfast bar before heading off to school each morning), and on the weekends, Hubby and Bubba get up so early that they eat way before I do.
When I picked this recipe, I totally planned on making it Saturday morning...didn't quite work out that way. On Thursday I made a slow cooker recipe that I just knew I wasn't gonna like. I figured I'd just run down to Burger King and grab a Whopper Jr, but then this popped into my head. I cut the recipe in half, prepared it in an 8x8 baking dish, and made it for dinner that night. It was really good! Hubby and Bubba ate the slow cooker meal, but later that night I caught Hubby nibbling on some of the leftovers of this. Even he liked it! (he's not a big avocado fan)
I'd love to make this again, but since there's no way in hell I'm getting my butt out of bed at 6:30am on a Saturday or Sunday to eat breakfast with my husband and son, I think it's safe to say we won't be seeing this again any time soon. Seriously...6:30am. On the weekend. Not. Gonna. Happen. Not unless the house is on fire.
'California Breakfast Casserole'

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
extra cheddar cheese for topping
1. Heat oven to 350. Layer the bottom of a greased 9×13 pan with sausage topped with tomatoes and avocado.
2. In a bowl, beat eggs and milk. Stir in all other ingredients. Pour hash and egg mixture over the sausage, tomatoes, and avocados.
3. Bake for 45-60 min or until well set. Top with extra cheddar right after pulling out of the oven so it melts all over the top. Top with salsa or sour cream.

Phoenix, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Gerald Green poured in 28 points with seven rebounds to lead the Phoenix Suns to a 121-114 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Markieff Morris scored 24 points, Channing Frye had 20, and Goran Dragic recorded a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Suns, who have won four straight over LA. P.J. Tucker netted 15 points in the win.
"I just tried not to take as many 3-pointers as I normally do," Green said of his performance. "We just tried to limit all the mistakes."
Pau Gasol tallied 24 points with nine rebounds and five assists for Los Angeles, which has lost seven straight on the road and six straight overall.
Wesley Johnson contributed 22 points and Chris Kaman added 18 points off the bench. Kendall Marshall deposited a double-double with 10 points and 13 assists in the setback.
"We're still trying to figure things out," Marshall admitted. "Hopefully we can cut down on a lot of things that we're doing wrong and it will turn into wins and we can get this ball rolling."
Gasol made a layup to stake LA to a slim 74-73 lead before the Suns used an 8-0 sprint to take the lead. Green opened the run with six straight points and Markieff Morris' jumper capped it with 3:34 left in the third.
Johnson's 3-pointer with 19.9 seconds left in the frame pulled the Lakers within six, 88-82, heading into the fourth.
Johnson tied the game at 91 early in the fourth with a three, but a 9-0 run from Phoenix shortly thereafter opened it up for the hosts.
Ish Smith closed the sequence with a layup off a steal from Gasol right after he crossed over Marshall for a two-point basket to help the Suns to a 102-93 lead.
LA got as close as six following a Johnson dunk with 4:19 remaining, but the Suns would run off four straight to push the lead to 115-105.
The Lakers hung around, though, as Gasol followed a Jodie Meeks dunk with a three-point play to cut the lead in half with a minute to play.
After a few offensive rebounds from Phoenix, Markieff Morris was fouled and made a pair at the line with 33.9 seconds left that sealed it for Phoenix.
Earlier, there were fisticuffs between LA's Nick Young and Alex Len of Phoenix midway through the second quarter. Young drove to the cup and Len fouled him, with the former falling hard to the floor.
A fracas ensued with Young shoving Len before Morris twins coming to their teammates aid, standing in between the two players to keep the situation at bay. Young then swiped at Dragic and was immediately ejected along with Len, whose foul was ruled a flagrant-2.
Los Angeles owned a slim 58-54 lead at the break.
Phoenix was 49-of-100 from the floor ... The Suns outrebounded LA 53-43 ...
Meeks finished with 14 points ... Phoenix shot 4-for-19 (21.1 percent) from
beyond the arc ... The Suns' four-game streak over LA is their longest since
taking seven straight from the Lakers Nov. 19, 2004-April 7, 2005.

Shale Gas News and Information
Natural Gas peeks into the future
- Details
- Written by Nick Grealy
Surprising validators aren't only found when environmentalists support natural gas from shale as Stephen Tindale recently showed us. Last week several speakers from the gas industry at Flame in Amsterdam surprised with very optimistic assessments of near future renewable technology and it's impact on European gas markets.
I've always wanted to believe in renewables, but for too long we have seen breathless reporting of advances that aren't or that are Inconsequential Nibbles. IN's are all over the place: they sound exciting but actually deliver little actual power to where it's needed. The Balcombe Solar Initiative is only one example: it's meant to make people feel good, not to provide useful amounts of power. Too many sound like Cold Fusion II. How many times do we hear stories like this:
Natural gas prices in Europe: Down, down, down
- Details
- Written by Nick Grealy
Since UK gas and electricity bills went up last year and created an affordability crisis the Labour opposition turned into a UK political issue, the news coming out of Flame 2014 would surprise most people: Gas prices are cratering. Throw in the continuing tension over Russia and Ukraine and it becomes even more counter-intuitive. Throw in how US prices have actually risen and it becomes just plain confusing. What gives?
While global gas prices are unlikely to merge around a single figure anytime soon, they are more strongly connected than ever. Trading links between the three main regions of North America, Europe and North East Asia reflect fundamentals of supply and demand of not only the commodity, but of shipping capacity.
Recent comments
AndyPermalinkI appreciate the analysis from Europe and it was news to me that there is a coming glut of LNG shipping capacity. This got me to look at EIA statistics, and two interesting numbers are that US natgas storage is almost 38% below the same time last year, and LNG imports are almost 38% below the same t...
The climate case for natural gas
- Details
- Written by Nick Grealy
I've been saying this for sometime, but it's important that both sides, industry and fracktivists alike, listen to surprising validators in the climate debate. It's not surprising that this was ignored by the UK press and only surfaced in the US. What is very pleasantly surprising is the author of this guest post, repeated with Stephen Tindale's permission and in full. Who's Stephen Tindale? This may explain why this important contribution doesn't rate a mention in the Guardian:
Stephen Tindale (writer and co-founder) is an Associate Fellow at the Centre for European Reform, and a climate and energy consultant. He lives in London. His past roles have included:
- Executive Director of Greenpeace UK and chair of the Greenpeace European Unit.
- Adviser to UK Environment Minister Michael Meacher.
- Lecturer in Environmental Politics at Birkbeck College, University of London.
- Senior Research Fellow on environment and energy at the Institute for Public Policy Research.
- Policy Adviser to Shadow Environment Secretary Chris Smith and secretary of the Labour Party Policy Commission on the Environment, which produced In Trust for Tomorrow. (This originally proposed the UK's target of 20% carbon reduction target by 2010.)
- Diplomat, UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, including work on Soviet foreign policy and a posting to Pakistan. While he was growing up, his parents lived in the Middle East, Africa and the United States.

Mobile Abrasives Manager Rob Bitzer shows me the broken windows--busted warehouse lights--and other damage that followed when these barges blew up. He runs a place centered around every major Mobile disaster this year. The arrival, escape and re-capture of the Carnival Triumph happened on his front lawn. The explosion of the barges happened in his back yard.
"I guess pretty lucky I mean the outcome could have been a lot different," says Manager Rob Bitzer. You can see damage at grain silos where aluminum siding was torn off. A gigantic lid was thrown 50 yards as these barges turned inside out with a simple start.
"It was determined a spark entered into a tank it was determined that a spark entered into a tank which ignited the vapors which created the explosion that's where the investigation is leading," says USCG Lt. Mike Clausen. Thursday morning the east side of the shipping channel was under tighter than usual security--cops checking to make sure anyone driving through had business here--while business slowed for Austal no ships were damaged.
"We had a little bit of material come over because we're in such close proximity to the event but nothing of consequence that's noteworthy," says Austal President Craig Percivalle.
