Proposing elderly communal housing; i.e. private residence with central/shared kitchen and living rooms with private bed and bathrooms.
For the elderly who don't want as "assisted care" fascility and don't have family, yet need some form of community life. Perhaps with a live-in assistant to help drive to Dr. appointments, hairdressers , marketing etc. and otherwise help. The elderly would basically help each other and remain social and somewhat independent. I hear it's the latest rage at colleges these days. Question: why are so few of these being built in the US? Money?

Jun 12 2013: My findings/ summary based on this TED conversation and preliminary research: there is definitely a growing interest and need for alternative housing options for our growin older population. Most don't want our only option to be heartless institutions yet we find ourselves, for one reason or another, lacking the caring help of blood relatives. The co-housing movement began in Denmark and was imported to the US by Charles Durett, a West Coast architect. He has been instrumental in creating several such communities west of CO. and even as far away as the Aleutian Islands. I have therefore suggested to TED that he be a future speaker. Several similar concepts are being tried on the East Coast, the "village" concept in Boston and Washington, D.C. However in the Southeast, where I reside, implementing this concept seems hung up on the profitabilty for various developers/builders, and thereby lose much of the movements incentives. I.e. in NC, there are endless Governor's panels studying the feasibilty of such housing, where lots of suggestions are made but having no concrete results. I find that only a national lreader such as Mr. Durett can initiate East Coat development and perhaps employ government aid to get it done. Thanks all for your input!

Menomonee Falls police officers investigating a report of a car in the ditch found a driver who was loaded in more ways than one.
According to police:
The driver of a 1996 Ford truck left the roadway on the north side of Lisbon Road and drove about 70 feet before entering a deep ditch about 1,500 feet east of Graysland Drive East at about 11:30 a.m. Dec. 20. The truck damaged a fence during the accident and the driver had minor injuries.
Officers noticed an odor of intoxicants coming from the driver, a 52-year-old Menomonee Falls man. When questioned, the driver readily admitted drinking rum and Cokes that morning at home before driving his vehicle. He failed field sobriety tests and was arrested for drunken driving. His blood alcohol content was 0.13.
During a vehicle search police also discovered the driver had a loaded .44 magnum revolver in his truck.
The revolver was taken as evidence and state charges are being referred to the Waukesha County District Attorney's office.

exercising would be so much more rewarding if calories screamed when you burned them
A collection of Ways to Tie a Necktie
Our other collections:
Because library porn
Okay, I am sick of reading reviews and articles and fan rants about how Natasha and her 'pop guns' were outmatched and out of place in the final fight of the Avengers.
Because I think that was exactly the point, and I kinda think that some people might've missed it.
Let's leave out what does happen. Let's leave out the endgame. Let's ignore that. Let's look at what is happening here. Let's look at this:
Natasha Romanoff: We gotta stop him.
Clint Barton: Yeah? Who's we?
Natasha Romanoff: I don't know. Who's ever left.
Let's look at the words of a woman who knows she's outmatched. A woman who knows she's a spy, not a soldier, not a fighter, who has her strength lying in speed and subterfuge and backstabbing. A woman who is now marching into battle with another human being, two people of amazing skill and training, but two human beings.
Because at that moment, THEY ARE ALL THAT IS LEFT.
When the superhumans and the geniuses and the gods all splinter apart, it is the human beings who set themselves up to fight, and likely to die, in the defense of the rest of the world.
It is Natasha, Natasha with red in her ledger, a woman who knows that she can never be redeemed, not fully, who takes her 'pop guns' and goes out to fight, because she stands a better chance than the bankers and cabbies and waitresses of New York. She is going to fight. Knowing she is unmatched, knowing she is going with only Clint as backup, she is willing to go.
Please take a moment to think about the bravery that entails. That she is going out with a couple of pistols and a catsuit to fight an alien army. Even Hawkeye has the advantage of being able to hit from a distance. She doesn't. She's up close and personal. She's hand to hand and short distance attacks and a cool head. She doesn't belong there. She shouldn't be there. BUT SHE GOES.
Natasha said that she had skills, she had a unique set of skills, and she didn't care much who she used them on, or for. This time, those skills, no matter how unmatched, are used in the defense of the rest of the world. This time, no one tells her to go. No one pays her. Fury doesn't order her out there.
She goes of her own free will. She makes the choice.
When the Other says:
"Humans… They are not the cowering wretches we were promised. They stand. They are unruly, and therefore cannot be ruled. To challenge them is to court death."
It is Natasha who stands for the rest of us. A human. No super powers. No armor. No amazing weapons. Just a woman with red in her ledger, and the strength and the bravery to go somewhere she has no business being, to step up to a fight where she is outmatched.
Natasha is the human heart of the Avengers, a woman who fights a battle she has no hope of winning. And saving the world wipes out a lot of red.

Link: Biodiesels Pollute More Than Crude Oil, Leaked Data Show
Greenhouse gas emissions from biofuels such as palm oil, soybean and rapeseed are higher than those for fossil fuels when the effects of Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC) are counted, according to leaked EU data seen by EurActiv.
The default values assigned to the biofuels compare to those from Canada's oil sands – also known as tar sands – according to the figures, which should be released along with long-awaited legislative proposals on biofuels in the spring.
A spokesperson for the European Commission said she could "not comment on leaked documents, such as impact assessments which have not been published."
But industry and civil society sources described the data as credible and in line with other studies. One said it would sound a death knell for the biodiesel industry, if published.
"I think the science has proved clearly that because of the link to deforestation in places such as South East Asia, a lot of the biodiesels have significantly negative impacts on the climate," Robbie Blake, a spokesman for Friends of the Earth, told EurActiv.
ILUC happens when forests and wetlands are cleared to compensate for lands taken to grow biofuels elsewhere.
One recent report predicted that all of Malaysia's tropical peatswamp forests would be destroyed by the end of the decade because of ILUC - with alarming consequences for greenhouse gas emissions - unless the expansion of palm oil production was halted.
To measure the climate impact of fuels, Brussels favours assigning default values based on a calculation of their full lifecycle emissions, hence the debate over ILUC factors and biofuels.
In its recent review of the Fuel Quality Directive, the EU proposed a default value of 107g CO2 equivalent per megajoule of fuel (CO2/mj) for oil from tar sands, as compared to 87.5g CO2/mj for crude oil, reflecting the greater environmental harm that its production causes.
Yet while advanced 'second generation' biofuels comfortably outperform fossil fuels in the EU's new data, palm oil is ascribed a value of 105g, soybean 103g, rapeseed 95g, and sunflower 86g, once ILUC is factored in.
The data propose ILUC-incorporating CO2/mj values for biofuels as follows:• Oil from tar sands - 107g
• Palm Oil - 105g
• Soy bean – 103g
• Rapeseed – 95g
• Crude oil - 87.5g
• Sunflower – 86g
• Palm Oil with methane capture – 83g
• Corn (Maize) – 43g
• Sugar Cane – 36g

Anonymous said: have you ever accidentally eaten something containing animal products and didn't realize it until it was too late? do you think someone could still be a vegan if that happened? (I'm a vegan too and today i accidentally ate peanuts that for some reason had gelatin) im sorry but I feel awful and would appreciate your advice a whole lot
Don't worry! I think A LOT of people have done this and I have too. I used to buy a certain kind of crisps that were vegan friendly and once I was eating them quite happily and I realised they had changed the recipe and now contained whey >_< It was a total accident.
Of course you can still be vegan! Life is full of mistakes and absolutely no one is perfect. It was an accident and no one should make you feel bad for that, including yourself! It's completely bizarre that peanuts would have gelatin any way and most likely if I were to buy peanuts or anything like that I'd assume they were vegan by nature and not check so it would happen to me too!
Try not to feel bad about what happened. It was an accident! You are an amazing, caring and compassionate person for being vegan (and for worrying so much about this!) and one little mistake can't take that away from you <3
Beautiful and true words. :)

Finding a Topic
Deciding which indigenous group and which land reclamation you wish to study may be the most difficult part of the assignment. We'll discuss some approaches.
The Assignment
Sacred Lands Project essay
Identify a situation in which indigenous people seek to reclaim traditional lands. The place can be anywhere in the world. The attempt can be contemporary or historic.
Start by describing the tribal setting, the site (or sites) under consideration and other significant factors. Questions to address:
- Why this land? What factors led to this effort?
- How do the native people understand, interpret and appeal to the sacredness of the land?
- How do non-natives understand and respond to claims based on the land as sacred?
- What have been the outcomes, intended or unintended?
Please remember that this assignment is more than a description of a conflict, it is a critical analysis of indigenous and dominant cultural understandings of the notion of the sacred in relation to land.

COLUMBUS, OH – The No. 12 Rutgers men's soccer team tied Ohio State 2-2 at the College Cup Preview exhibition match Aug. 27 at Crew Stadium in Columbus, OH.
The Buckeyes got on the board first with a successful penalty kick in the 41st minute, but sophomore Nick Labrocca (Howell, NJ) evened the match in the 56th minute when he headed in a ball from freshman Zach Simi (East Brunswick, NJ). Ohio State again took the lead, scoring off a direct kick in the 63rd minute, but Labrocca converted a penalty kick five minutes later to knot the score for good.
George Vasilakis (Toms River, NJ), Lubos Ancin (Burlington, NJ) and William Shiles (Silver Spring, MD) all received time in goal for the Scarlet Knights. Vasilakis made one save in 30:16, while Ancin (28:18) and Chiles (31:26) each allowed a goal.

Thank you so very much!!! I LOVE my socks I got today!!!
I will be recommending your website to EVERYONE I know!!!! Traci
My 3 yr old niece loves her softsider slippers so much that she insists on wearing them to bed! Leah
We LOVE our stroller blanket so much…what a difference it makes! Liam is so cozy and warm and comfortable in his stroller. We have also used it on his carseat and wrapped around us while walking. I would highly recommend this blanket to anyone who is trying to find a solution for keeping their little ones warm in their stroller. Our blanket was stolen and I have immediately ordered a 2nd one…I assume it is the mail now and we miss it so much!!
And I have to add…I wanted to have an adjustment made to my order. Sent an email to Lisa at Polar Feet about it and she was more than happy to accommodate my requiest and adjust my bill.

What you're dealing with is something that shouldn't be discussed on the first date, but should also not be delayed unduly long.posted by jessamyn at 4:40 PM on November 28, 2011 [5 favorites]
I'm in a situation similar to yours. Instead of the issue being that I have a short-lived marriage in my past, my issue is that I'm a crossdresser (m2f).
It took me the better part of a year in therapy to figure out that crossdressing (or other potentially embarrassing topic) probably shouldn't be discussed on the first date, but that one shouldn't wait as long as I did to talk about it.
I once waited nearly a year into the relationship before I mentioned that I was a crossdresser. I got dumped immediately (of course, YMMV). My ex was partly offended by that side of me, but even more so, she was offended that I'd kept it a secret, and that it ruined any possibility of her being able to trust me.
It took me a long while to come back from that one, because it hurt me so badly (and not entirely undeservedly so, I might add).
The other relationship I've had since then ended, again likely due to trust issues. She took a leap of faith & confided in me that she'd had an abortion when she was younger (she's a conservative Christian), and had asked me a few times what it was that pushed me to the brink of suicide (see above). That would have been a golden opportunity to tell her. Alas, I didn't have the courage.
OP, you're not a mind reader. You cannot possibly know how your SO will react to the news until you give it to him.
If he's going to react well, then telling him now will be a relief, and you'll both probably be able to laugh about it.
If he's not going to react well, that won't improve no matter how long you wait to tell him. In fact, his reaction might get worse over time (e.g. more offended finding out after 3 years than finding out after 3 months).
Either way, I think you owe it to yourself & to him to take an evening, think about how you'd like to frame it when you discuss it with him, then discuss it with him the following day. If he's OK with it, you're set. If he's not and breaks up with you, yeah it will hurt & you will probably have a rough night full of crying, but at least you didn't move in together, get married, share a bank account, & have kids already.
Thank you everyone for the overwhelmingly one-sided advice :) I will have this talk with him soon, whenever it seems right. On reflection, I think he and I have both been avoiding the subject, so I'm pretty sure this will be fodder for a good two-sided discussion about our past.posted by jessamyn at 7:29 PM on November 29, 2011
For those who were advising telling on the first date: With this guy, things started pretty casually so there wasn't exactly a first date.
Finally, I have thought about the advice to stop calling him my ex-fiance altogether. I think you guys are right here, too. Perhaps you will see a future anon AskMe about how to tell the 95% of my family about this without creating tons of drama...

If you haven't heard of new self tan brand, LDN : SKINS, it's set to be the summer sell out. I've got a couple of bottles out on trial with friends (I am testing another tan at the moment and have no limbs left!) so will report back fully when they do. First impressions are good: I like the way that the range has a build-up product specifically for pale skin tones and also that the formula is thinner than many which means you don't need to over-rub in which is where mistakes can happen.
LDN SKINS has a lavender fragrance and uses odourless DHA.. my one bugbear is their website which has white writing on a black background which is all things annoying and hard to read..

text: Psycho still retains its shock value, and the new movie Hitchcock, directed by Sacha Gervasi (Anvil!) and starring Anthony Hopkins as the iconic filmmaker and Helen Mirren as his wife Alma Reville, makes it quite plain how this horror-suspense film became an icon. Set during the filming of Psycho, Hitchcock features the artistry of cinematographer Jeff Cronenweth, ASC, who references the mid-century era with a Technicolor-inflected look and captures an intimate view of Hitchcock's personal life.

Jealous of DaringFireball.net
Sometimes... when I'm sitting around unhappy or maybe just feeling a little blue, I find myself jealous of DaringFireball.net and John Gruber... Now I know most people are probably shaking their heads and wondering why... but the answer is quite simple... "Ignorance is bliss"... and if that statement is true... that John Gruber must truly be the happiest man alive.
The latest debacle needs no response as it has already been answered, however I will provide the links required to read it through in it's entirety...
We'll start with Bill Gates and his comments in a recent Newsweek article... you know the one that's got everyone up in arms... If you haven't read it yet... Welcome Back... How was the Coma? If you have... proceed to the next paragraph (this is kinda like those old Choose Your Own Adventure books).
Your next choice is even more difficult... Do you:
- Visit the cave of insanity (John Gruber's response to the article)
- Take my word for it that he goes on with another Pro-Apple, Anti-Microsoft rant which as no bearing and no real truth and proceed to the next paragraph.
Welcome to the next section.. This is where your ally, one of the Hero's enters the story...
- Read his account
- Accept that David Maynor defends Vista and talks about how it's security is better than the security in OS X.
If you weren't afraid the first time... now is where the real challenge comes...
- Re-enter the cave of insanity....
- Accept a couple paragraphs that say nothing.
Finally... You can now join the Hero of our story inside the cave of insanity...
- Join the Hero.
- ... Ok... so this was pretty lame, but hey... I wanted something different.
As I said... some days I wish I was the DaringFireball.net... but all it takes is a couple of seconds of that to realize I'd rather have some knowledge and properly formed opinions instead of being a fanboy who likes to rant.
Anyways... Enjoy the read.

existence of god (why religion is the answer)
today i had a conversation with a friend about religion ,god,quantum physics and forbidden archaeology .
the real question was ,does god exist ,if yes then why he created the universe ,was he bored ? religion can not give us satisfactory answer !
also religion is some thing very new , comparing it with human existence (forbidden archaeology) .
who created the universe ? is it better to believe that god created it instead of no one .(if we say god created it then the question is ,with what ?)
sorry for my english :(
one more thing ,please do some research on forbidden archaeology before replaying .

Dan GillgrenOct 4 2012: There are too many things that don't make sense regarding the existence of God. If he did indeed create mankind and the planet on which we live, why would he make the universe so very large? To create billions of galaxies each with billions of stars, for the sake of mankind and Earth, it makes little sense. And why create all of the other exo-planets are discovering around distant stars? Why would he create an energy source such as the Sun with a finite lifespan?
Surely God is aware that most people on Earth question his existence, so why doesn't he simply provide proof of his own existence? If God were to simply pay us a brief visit, we'd be able to clear up the whole "this religion" vs "that religion" nonsense, allowing everyone to focus on the one single God (whoever he might be).
"God" is hope that mankind has when we question our own mortality. It would be nice to think that "God" has a place for us when we die, but the more we learn about the cosmos and how everything is constructed, I think it is unlikely.
Anyone with undeniable proof as to the existence of God can contact me for a $50 reward.

The TruthI have always been blind, been refusing to see,
Unintentionally ignoring true beauty,
But I learned about the truth, my eyes are now opened,
Hope raised within me, my focus was diverted.
My perspective about life was completely changed,
It seems that I've been reading the wrong book and page;
I am thankful I was given the chance to end,
My wrong knowledge, beliefs, that many are mislead.
Now that I finally know what I really must do,
Am I ready to get started at something new?
One step at a time, I believe I can do it,
But my life desires are what I have to omit.
I know that I won't need them when the time has come,
It's better to do it early while I'm still young;
Suppose I'm given a new life in a new world,
Those desires I'm yearning won't even say a word.
Living in a place where everything is perfect,
Where there is no evil, no problems to collect,
This may sound impossible for many people,
But just believe in the truth, it is that simple.
I am very sure I'm not making this all up,
DrowningThe water gushing against my pale skin,
Cold and painful, numbing my whole body,
Sinking fast, struggling hard, pulling me in,
Can't tighten my grip, letting go slowly.
Oxygen escapes my lungs continuously,
Losing my consciousness abruptly,
Everything's a blur, unclear and darker,
The sight of gloomy skies and rigorous water.
I recall the sunshine that embraced the morning,
The calm water that's subtle and gentle,
But a dark cloud suddenly came rushing,
I guess nothing's permanent, not even a little.
Totally submerged, unable to come out,
Floating, feeling light, sensing nothing,
Surviving this situation is a huge doubt,
Unless someone saves me, I am hoping.
The sun shines again, still the water became,
Nothingness fills the air, not a sign of life was seen,
It's too late to help me now, no one came,
But at least everything is back to what had been.
Lost But Still Not FoundIt's been a while since I last felt your presence,
I have been waiting for you to return,
I'll just be here, full of hope and patience,
Longing for the things that went into the urn.
You're an inch away but I'm still searching,
I am with you but you're still missing,
My eyes caught sight of you but you're not there,
And I can't seem to find you anywhere.
I wonder where you are hiding right now,
Well, not in my heart for it's hollow and empty,
Can I make you come out somehow?
Are the ways few or are they plenty?
My heart hurts every time I hear your name,
It still beats but it just isn't the same;
Maybe you don't want to be found,
For you, should I still be looking around?
But what if you are also looking for me?
That will definitely be another story,
Will you find me or will I find you?
It will be a chase in circles for us two.
Do you even realize that you're lost?
It may seem that you're here even when you're not,
I will still miss you no matter how near you are,
I'll search for
Walls of AshWalls feel like ash,
tattered and torn.
Dead leaves drifting away,
leaving naught to morn.
Rain washes away broken shards
revealing hidden truths of lie.
Breathing life into dry death,
past torments becoming shy.
The tower blown over
by whispering winds,
giving sight to new life--
allowing the old to end.
Innocence (73)Tired of mumbling when they mention your name-
Desperate, longing, to simply be sane.
Want to be free, to dance with the wind
No longer thinking what we had was sin.
Used to be open, carefree and young
Long before we knew how love truly stung.
Now so broken with patches and scars,
Thinking this plan has never been ours.
Sure there's a reason for every small tear,
But gratitude is something you will not find here.
Give it some time, let memories build up
Don't think about all the days now corrupt.
Oh to be innocent like I once was,
To answer my questions with words like "Because"
Without having to worry about things in the past...
Not really wondering how long we would last.
My Heart's QuestionIt rises up above me,
Laying here at night.
A question I can't answer,
That has no wrong or right.
Shining in the starlight,
Burning in the sun
I wonder if there's life,
In this thing that we've begun.
My daisy holds no answer-
It simply hangs its head.
The question is in my heart
That cries in silent dread.
Your eyes pour into mine
I wonder if you know.
Is this just an age old shrine;
Will you love me or let me go?
Hungry (97)When I gave myself to you,
I gave
You promised that you were true,
We'd never
But now that you've left me
I've lost
I wonder now, how it could be?
We were
What should I call this new found addiction?
Evil, Sinful, Exciting?
Oh what strange, wry contradiction...
You need time to clean out your attic
But freedom, love, cannot come without cost.
So here I am- Psychosomatic,
Yes dear, my appetite is lost.
Ignorance is Blind (56)You whisper five sweet words,
Then back up six more steps.
You notice all the birds,
But blind, pass o'er the clouds.
Going on you say you're sad,
That you're worried and upset
But then I must be mad-
You're fine when you're with them.
I'm beautiful you say-
Much prettier than them.
Then why is it everyday,
I see you over there?
Maybe you aren't lying,
And maybe it is so.
But why are you not trying,
To see these tears of mine?
Pieces (24)My life is full of fragments,
The pieces of what was;
As sharp as severed glasses
Reminders of dead love.
So rough around the edges,
I'm always being cut;
The sting of broken pledges
And doors that can't be shut.
This house seems to be empty
And I'm stranded all alone.
I wonder who has left me-
Should I call this place my home?
Where the shadows silently linger,
Was it once where angels played?
Could the touch of a gentle finger
Have made our love be stayed?
Looking back at all the pieces
Of the life we left behind,
My hand slowly releases
What is left of all our time.
There is Meaning and then there is MEANINGThere's love and then there's LOVE
trust and then TRUST.
The difference in between
is a matter
of lust.
Bits of Jealous.
I can hold her hands,
but I can't hold her world.
Like Maroon 5
left with songs about the girl.
A pile of poems
to keep me warm
within papercuts to the heart
when I curl, into a ball of a man
spinning out of control. Words flying to the east,
stanzas spinning out of sight,
mass production of terror,
love, dark and light.
If I had one wish
I don't know what I'd do,
if I was told that in wishing
I still couldn't have you,
but that's the way it is
fiction or fact.
These emotions are lasting
with no getting over that.
So i'll write my prayers
while holding my breath.
Better to suffocate if I can't be
with my muse,
then go on in this living death.
My Dream Not SoI have a dream...
About a hundred or two.
And they seem to revolve
Around one person- You.
I want to get married,
To have a few kids.
Then smile at the camera
Kick back, and live.
In all honesty though,
I have to admit-
I want to have freedom
The chance to just quit.
To see the whole world,
Ten countries or more.
And fly through the mountains
With dangers galore.
If I can't have that
I'd certainly settle
Near someone who listens,
But never would meddle.
And if I couldn't-
Have something so small,
I'd rather have you
Than nothing at all.
For in this thoughtful
Yet sad strand of rhyme,
I just have to realize
One dream at a time.
So I'll go watch,
See you living my dreams.
'Cuz nothing is right in this
Reality it seems.
CrazySome people may say I'm crazy.
Others might say I'm insane.
Of course, there's those who'd say I'm mental.
I'd go even further to say that some would call me...
But I dislike classifying others with simple words.
I find that no one should be bound by anything-
No promises, no rules, no morals. Nothing.
People only bind themselves so that they may break free.
Because- Let's face it-
No one likes being suffocated. Being stuck.
But then again, everyone loves the satisfaction of tearing away.
Of escaping.
But of course, if I were to define myself using petty words,
I would say I am... Special.
Unique, perhaps.
Then again, wouldn't we all like to consider ourselves special?
It's a human weakness, I'd say. How we all grovel to have our own characteristics,
Yet we all want to fit in.
What hypocrites, us humans are.
Every single one of us.
You know, if I believed what I said,
Then I myself would be a hypocrite.
Because I know someone who never was
Keeping My SanityEvery night I'm struggling, being an insomniac,
Unable to fall asleep, rest I always lack;
Different thoughts bothering me, haunting me till dawn,
Trying to suffice my need to sleep with this yawn.
Why now, of all time, am I feeling so much pain?
When will my strength and willpower be regained?
How many pillows must I need to stain with tears?
What will I do to fight away my foolish fears?
I'm confused and perplexed with all of these nonsense,
Insanity taunts if this becomes more intense;
As early as possible I want this to stop,
Want to get away from this labyrinthine trap.
These challenges I'm facing will soon be shut down,
Once I make a move and defeat this shameless clown;
This maze he set for me should not be overlooked,
That is one of the things that I seem to mistook.
I have to face this alone, as I always do,
I must trust no one when most are hiding their hue;
Finishing this journey's an independent act,
I hope my body and soul will still be intact.
Fighting in these silent bat

See what you get?
One day, after a near eternity in the Garden of Eden, Adam calls out to God, "Lord, I have a problem."
... "What's the problem, Adam?", God replies.
... "Lord, I know you created me and have provided for me and surrounded me with this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, but I'm just not happy"
... "Why is that, Adam?", comes the reply from the heavens.
... "Lord, I know you created this place for me, with all this lovely food and all of the beautiful animals, but I am lonely."
... "Well Adam, in that case I have the perfect solution. I shall create a woman for you."
... "What's a woman, Lord?" "This woman will be the most intelligent, sensitive, caring, and beautiful creature I have ever created. She will be so intelligent that she can figure out what you want before you want it. She will be so sensitive and caring that she will know your every mood and how to make you happy. Her beauty will rival that of the heavens and earth. She will unquestioningly care for your every need and desire. She will be the perfect companion for you.", replies the heavenly voice.
... "Sounds great."
... "She will be, but this is going to cost you, Adam." "How much will this woman cost me Lord?", Adam replies. "She'll cost you your right arm, your right leg, and an eye, an ear of your choice."
... Adam ponders this for some time, with a look of deep thought and concern on his face. Finally Adam says to God, "Ehhh, what can I get for a rib?"
I want a watch.
Johnny was in the playground with his friend Jimmy when he noticed the brand new shiney watch Jimmy was wearing.
"Did you get that for your birthday?" he asked.
"Nope," Jimmy replied.
"Well did you get it for Christmas then?" Johnny asked.
"You didn't steal it did you?"
"No," said Jimmy. "I went into Mum and Dad's bedroom the other night when they were on the job. Dad gave me his watch to get rid of me."
Johnny was extremely impressed with this idea, and extremely jealous of Jimmy's new watch. He vowed to get one for himself. That night he waited outside his parents room until he heard the unmistakeable noises of lovemaking. Johnny swung the door wide open and boldly strode into the bedroom. His father, caught in mid stroke, turned and asked him angrily; "What do you want now?"
"I wanna watch," Johnny replied.
"Well stand in the corner and keep quiet then," said his father returning to the job in hand.

The Irish Guard!
Casey joined the Home Guard during the Second World War and was given a rifle, ammunition and a very important task.
'I want you to guard the town against enemy insurgents,' said the captain. 'We've got a curfew in force. Anyone out of doors after midnight is to be shot on sight!'
There stood Casey at the town square, ever alert, when suddenly a figure came out of the darkness.
'Who goes there?' called Casey.
'Mick McGee,' came the answer.
Bang! Casey shot the man down.
'Good shot,' said the captain, 'but it's only eleven thirty.'
'Yes,' said Casey, 'but I know where he lived and he'd never have made it home in time!'
Irishmen in an Aussie bar
A man walked into a Melbourne bar and ordered a pint of the dark liquid.
'Excuse me,' said the only other drinker. 'Is that an Irish accent I detect?'
'It is, sir. Dublin to be exact.'
'Bless my soul,' said the first. 'I'm a Dublin man meself. Ballymun to be precise.'
'Bedad, aren't I from Ballymun meself - Carberry Street in actual fact,' remarked the second.
'Carberry Street is where I was born and raised meself, and St Joseph's was me parish church, Father Dunne the parish priest.'
'Didn't I go to nine o'clock mass every Sunday at St Joseph's. What an amazingly small world. Did you go to St Joseph's School?'
'I did. I was in Miss Slattery's class.'
'God in heaven. So was I.'
Just then the phone rang and the Aussie barman said, 'Not too busy at the moment. In fact there's just the Murphy twins here.'
Irish logic!
The Clancy twins stared out across the ocean and Eamonn said:
'Look at all that water.'
'Yes,' said Pat. 'And that's only the top!'
Great fishing spot
The Maguire twins had never known the likes before. Only two hours fishing and already the boat was full to overflowing with mackerel.
'Begod, we've struck a rare spot here,' said Mick. 'We must somehow try to remember this exact location for future reference.'
'Why don't we put an 'x' on the back of the boat so we'll know it exactly?' ventured Pat.
'No good,' said his brother. 'We may not get the same boat next time!'

You'll have to pay for it
'You've lost your rifle, Muldoon?' said the captain at Dunkirk.
'Yes, sir. In the retreat I jumped aboard a boat and the gun fell in the water!'
'Well, son, that was government property and you'll have to pay for it out of your wages.'
'What?' said Muldoon. 'Do you mean we've got to pay for any equipment we lose?'
'Of course,' said the captain. 'It's your responsibility after all.'
'And if I'd lost a tank, I'd have to pay?'
'You would.'
'My God,' muttered Muldoon. 'No wonder those captains go down with their ships!'
St Patricks Day New Orleans
It was St Patrick's Day and, even though the city was New Orleans, Murphy had decided to celebrate it. He remembered starting off the pub crawl. He even remembered the first seventeen beers and whiskey chasers. But after that his brain could not recall any details.
All he knew was his head ached, his tongue was just a fuzz ball, his throat throbbed and he had come to on a bed in a strange motel room.
Suddenly, a rustling noise made him turn to see a very large (280lbs) black lady lying fully clad beside him. In her hair was a crumpled paper bow, and streamers drooped over her shoulders.
'My God, who are you?' spluttered Murphy.
'I don't know honey,' she replied. 'But last night I was the Rose of Tralee!'
Is there anyone up there?
Seamus had a major mishap on his first day of mountain climbing. He slipped from a highish peak and fell twenty feet, stopping himself only by grabbing hold of a very, very small clump of bushes. There he hung, every second expecting the bushes to snap and send him hurtling hundreds of feet to his death.
'Is there anyone up there? Is there anyone who can help me? Is there anyone at all?' .....Help!
Suddenly the heavens boomed with the sound of a mighty voice:
'I am the Almighty. I am here to help you, Seamus. Trust me. Let go of the bush and let yourself drop and I will catch you in my arms and carry you safely to earth!'
Seamus pondered for a while, looking down, and then said, ' Thanks. But is there someone else up there?'
Parachute problems
Reilly had joined the British Parachute Regiment and was on his first drop. Falling from the plane his chute wouldn't open. Pulling his reserve handle he realised that that chute was also useless. Plummeting towards earth, Reilly saw another person coming up towards him - it was Murphy.
'Do you know anything about parachutes?' cried Reilly.
'No,' said Murphy. 'Do you know anything about gas cookers?'

Out with the old ... (1 Post)
Lost in the Ozone Again December 18, 2013 @ 3:24 PM
Contact this user
Out with the old ...... in with the new.
The old:
Burnham V34 SN 7551110 with a Frankenburner that might have started life out as a Carlin, but only the original frame has not been replaced. It has 1.0GPH nozzle and was last measured at 70% efficient. That may be an overstatement. Has a tankless coil. Converted to cold start two years ago, no leaks. This beast has had a long life.
3200 sq ft "cottage" built in 1919 in Metrowest of Boston. Design temperature 0F.
Three heating zones with roughly equivalent loads, two with 1/6 HP circulators, one with 1/25 hp. All circulators on the return. Total radiation is ~140Mbtu/hr.
Potable water circulator through tankless coil and 50G electric water heater (no electrical hookup to elements) as a "booster" tank. Relay system to call for heat with top thermostat, end call when bottom thermostat is satisfied. This keeps a single guy in hot water by firing for less than 1/2 hour every two days. Under 75 gallons of oil from late May to early October.
Honeywell AQ-2000 control with Honeywell communicating thermostats and ODR controlling all four circulators and boiler via aquastat on boiler. Aquastat is really just functioning as a combination burner relay and high limit safety.
Yesterday nature gave me a chance to compute the building's heat loss. There was a heavy overcast with snow and near constant 13F outside temperature. I set all of the t-stats to 66 and waited for the building temp to stabilize. Over the course of 190 minutes the burner was on 94 minutes and off 96. The average boiler temperature when the burner turned off was 146. The ODR was setting the high limit to 155-157, but it never got there, 151 was the highest I saw. By the end of the test the AQ had synchronized the heating zones so that all three circulators would start at the same time.
Oil burned at 1GPH with 70% efficiency means the output of the boiler is ~98Mbtu/hr as I figure it. The On/Off ratio of 94:96 means the burner was on 49.5% of the time for an average loss of 48.5Mbtu/hr. That was a 53 degree rise. Normalizing that to a 65 degree rise I get a building loss of 59Mbtu/hr. Please correct me if I got the arithmetic (or concepts) wrong.
I want to split each zone in two to get to six zones. The house lies east/west with a large number of windows to the south and north. Each floor of the original house is one zone (one feed on the north, one feed on the south, with each floor having a common return. A large addition has two distinct areas, an open kitchen/family room and a small laundry/mudroom. In addition, I would like to have radiant heat in the two bathrooms (6'x8' stacked, one on each floor).
The new:
Here is what I think I want. A high efficiency boiler (condensing?) with an output ~75Mbtu/hr using either a buffer tank and flat plate HE for the booster or a reverse indirect (which seem to be disappearing) for DWH. I would use a mixing valve controlled by the AQ2000 to supply the building zones with the low limit set to 90F and high at 180. The buffer/reverse indirect would be the load on the boiler. Both the boiler circulator and the system circulator will be DT controlled.
If I go the reverse indirect route, I would probably use the smallest available. I don't know how I would size a buffer tank.
Any advice, comments, corrections, jokes etc will be most welcome.
OK, I have this written, now to prove that I might be a human.

Additional defendants found guilty in international car theft ring case
HARRISBURG - A Bucks County Jury this morning found two defendants of an international car theft ring guilty on all counts of criminal conspiracy and receiving stolen property.
Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane said the charges against defendants Ibrahim Bah and Abdulai Daboh stem from their roles in "Operation Wheels of Fortune," which to date has resulted in the arrest and conviction of more than 20 car thieves and shippers for their participation in the ring in the greater Philadelphia area and New Jersey.
The crime ring, investigated by the Pennsylvania State Police Auto Theft Unit and prosecuted by the Office of Attorney General's Organized Crime Section, obtained many of the luxury vehicles and sport utility vehicles by stealing keys from car dealerships or through gun-point robberies or carjacking. The vehicles were then slated for shipment to buyers overseas, a number of which were recovered in shipping containers bound for cargo ships headed to West Africa.
Judge Diane Gibbons revoked bail for each of the defendants, who face significant state prison sentences. Sentencing dates have yet to be set.

Here's a method of turning crank to ice.
Approx. 10g of product is wieghed out. Then approx. 5.5 g of water is added to this and the product is allowed to dissolve as much as possible. Only about half will dissolve the rest will just settle do to saturation of the water.
The beaker is then heated under low flame and brought to boil. Once the product completley dissolves and the water condenses a little you will notice a thin clear cap of crystal formation when the beaker has air blown into it. If a thermometer is placed in the water it will read 104 C this is also a way of knowing when to remove beaker from the heat source. Practice will give you the ability to just see the water and know when to do what. Once removed from the flame the beaker is covered and placed somewhere. NOT TO BE TOUCHED OR MOVED AT ALL. Moving the water while the crystals forms causes them to break resulting in small crystals if that. Well now that the water has completely cooled and the crystals finished forming in the overconcentrated water a toothpick is used to puncture the surface. This is done to be able to pour off the excess water from the beaker. This water is collected in the dish that it is poured into and allowed to evaporate to collect the meth that is dissolved in the water. Next is an acetone rinse after draining the water. Just add a little and lighty swirl around and pour off into the water that was drained off before. Then the crystals are passed onto the glass plate and fan dried. Using more product results in more volume thus more space for the crystals to grow.
The reason you use a thermometer to check temp at 104 Cis because water boils at 100 C but having meth in the water changes that boiling point. At 104 C the concentration is good for recrystalization. There is another point to this though. You see the more concentrated your water is under heat the more crystals you'll get out when you cool the water down but they will also be smaller. If the over saturation is not that much then you'll get less formation but also larger ice shards. If you leave the ice in the water and dont pour it out but only make holes for respiration after about 6 months the water will have evaportaed leaving thick ass dense completely tansparent ice shards.
Do not throw away the water you pour from the beaker, it is very valuable as it contains whatever product didn't crystalize. Remember its about oversaturation so only whatever doesn't fit in the cooled down water will come out as crystals. The rest is still dissolved in the water. This water can be allowed to evaporate to collect the rest of your product.
Here's the reason to use a tall thin glass to crystalize instead of a short fat one. This is because the crystals grow down from the cap it makes. Gravity plays a role in this one. Since the crystals are suspended in water they are constantly falling so as they grow and become heavier the crystal grows out in the direction of its movement. Down. Hence long transparent shards. Crystals also grow to hottest spot in the the vessel. (the center).
100 g use 55ml water
1000 g use 550 ml water
Dont mess with the formula too much. If the meth is a little more concentrated in the water, it causes more output of crystals but smaller.
