Don't shut it offThe Boiler will scale up and will require extensive cleaning in the Fall,the gaskets will also probably leak creating more problems down the road.If you have a triple aquastat you can turn the Lo setting all the way down when the heating season is over this will keep the boiler warm{not hot} and prevent the problems mentioned.BTW if you have electric HW you should consider a indirect or aquabooster,much cheaper{by far} to operate than an electric water heater To Learn More About This Professional, Click Here to Visit Their Ad in "Find A Professional"

Shutting downDanielle, Don't shut it down during the summer. As the boiler cools off, the sections of the boiler won't be held as tightly together, so it could start to leak. Any gaskets could start to slowly leak as well. Also the cold boiler surfaces will condense moisture from the warm moist summer air. This will cause rusting. You can lower the temperature on the aquastat to 140*, but leaving it on all summer won't use much fuel oil. Consider it money well spent to protect your investment.

jmoyeah, shut the boiler off...jmo...before you do though....take a couple of adjustable wrenches and tighten up your circulator gaskets...also, if you have a 'dummy plate", where the coil would go, tighten those bolts up too....maybe just snug up the packing nuts on the gate valves....again jmo....what my peers said, in their posts about indirect h2o heaters, is spot on....also...if no hot h2o from boiler, set low limit at 120 during heat season, will save some $$......i typed this thinking that you have an oil fired boiler...if this is true, just shut the switch off, and tighten the above mentioned bolts/nuts...if your unit is gas fired, ask your gas guy about proper shut down...if your gaskets leak then have them replaced....YOUR BOILER SHOULD NOT EXPERENCE ANY DAMAGE BY SHUTTING IT OFF IN THE SUMMER MONTHS...JMO..

Danielle,Trust the guys who said to keep it warm. DON'T shut it off! I wholeheartedly agree with all about getting an indirect fired water heater. The upfront cost is more, but in the longterm, this will save you money and service problems.Lifetime warranties and keeping the chimney working all year mean less service overall. Sootmonkey, Have you been servicing oil for a while? If you have, you would KNOW that cold starting is/has been dubbed nonsense. The service will cost more than the fuel used during off season.(YES EVEN WITH FUEL PRICES AS HIGH AS THEY ARE!! caps not unintentional) A boiler temperature above 115� is preferred, higher than condensing temps for the boiler.Apparently NOT JMHO.

CrisCris..I have much respect for you and your work. You are very obouslly above average in your field. I follow this site and OTT way to closelly. Yeah I know that I cant spell. There are some disadvantages of cold start. Are most steam boilers cold start?... No,I don't think that cold start is the best way to go in a hot water oil boiler. The question was something to the effect of shuting the boiler down completely for the summer. I say yes, shut the boiler off for the summer, just tighten the external gaskets. Cris, I have a LOT of respect for your opinion. As to my experence...well, you can ask me any question you want...judge me by my replyes...not my spelling. again with respect Keith

something else to keep me up at nightGreat. Something else to think about. I know this was a hot water question, but its brought up something on steam boilers. Commercial steamers are usually kept warm. I've seen a couple 'o residential steamers kept warm. Is keeping the boiler warm applicable to the average sectional cast iron steam boiler? The reason I ask is that one of the boilers in this building is an undersized steam W-M that's been overfired to meet the load. Its not my building and the boilers are in a separate boiler plant area and the cheapskate landlord won't put in the properly sized boiler (I generally talk to the boiler room walls; they are more receptive than the landlord), but still, I wince every time that poor thing starts from cold. I feel its thermal shock pain. Should an aquastat be used? Up until now, I've kind of hoped this little W-M EG45 would fail, forcing a properly sized boiler replacement. When I came on board here, it had NEVER been blown down, and the auto-feeder added water every 45 minutes of operation due to return leaks. I repaired all that and descaled, cleaned, etc. I would have thought that 10 of 18 years of this horrible abuse and 18 years of over firing would have killed it by now. I have to hand it to W-M. That boiler is still humming along. And since its bound and determined to live on, I just wonder if its not too late to add this feature. -Terry

BoilerI also have a pretty new steam boiler with a tankless coil that feeds the water to my separate gas-fired hot water tank. The hotwater heater by itself makes plenty of hotwater for my wife and me. I also wondered about turning the boiler off during the summer. The tankless is a nice back-up and probably decreases my gas bill since the water heater gets already hot water but I was also told to keep the boiler on during the summer. This was told to me by the both the people who service it and sell me oil (a little suspiciois) but was confirmed by a boiler pro who I trust. But what do people do who do not have the tankless option that causes the boiler to come on when the thermostat does not call for heat. That is, in the summer, wouldn't the boiler stay off the entire summer anyway as long as the thermostat doesn't call for heat if there is no tankless component? Are all of these people ruining their boilers?

same questionI have a nat gas HW boiler for the heat...newer Teledyne-Larrs. Should the t-stats just be turned down, or the boiler shut off for the summer? Bangs & knocks alot on cold startup in the fall. TWorking on steam and hot-water systems isn't rocket science....it's actually much harder.

summer shut downI recomend the boiler be cleaned prior to shut down. If anything leaks then I would address the leaks. Tightening gaskets and bolts with out reason is looking for trouble.
WPH2205 April 3, 2005 @ 2:57 PM
Contact this userDanielle, don't shut that boiler off. I have found that leaving it on, just turn down the water temp. works well. You won't have any leaking gaskets, and the boiler is much easier to clean in the fall.

I think you guys have all missed the pointAccording to the lady, this is a forced hot water boiler. No need whatever to keep it firing in the summer. You certainly won't corrode anything in a system filled with water and unless I am mistaken, the burnham is a push nipple boiler, shouldn't leak in anycase. I do agree that a hot water maker off the boiler is certainly a much better idea than the electric water heater. More hot water at less price and then there is no need for disagrement 'cause the boiler will fire all sumer long for hot water. And always have an oilfired system serviced everyfall, or better yet, late summer.
WPH2205 April 3, 2005 @ 10:30 PM
Contact this userJeff, I haven't missed the point at all. It makes no difference whether it's steam or water. It's better for the boiler and easier to service if it's left on.

only because the price of fuelwill I say shut it down for the summer. I would personally turn the Lo limit down as low as it will go, about 100 degrees. All stays as it should, and boiler lasts longer, but if you are leaning toward shutting it down, have it thoroughly cleaned and serviced so it won't be plugged when to turn it back on in the fall. This I have learned after 30 years in the biz

How about shutting the boiler down for 23 hours every day?I just installed a woodstove in the living room on the first floor of our small house.
I have an unlimited supply of firewood on my land and a wife that loves to split wood
None of my four zones are firing because the woodstove is keeping the temps higher than the set temp on all four thermostats.
I have a tankless coil inside my Utica Starfire II oil boiler in the basement. I have no water storage tank.
Here is my question: Is it okay to shut the boiler off for 23 hours each and every day - since neither my wife nor I is home and we are doing the dinner dishes at 9pm followed by showers for the both of us.
Is there any danger to turning the boiler off for 23 hours each day? It is winter here in Maine and it is 15 degrees outside. The basement temp is about a steady 48 degrees when the boiler is turned off.
Thanks for your "experienced" answers!

What about controls that support WWSD?I believe that some of the more advanced residential boiler control systems support Warm Weather Shut Down(WWSD) modes that essentially shut the boiler down when the outdoor sensor reaches its WWSD set-point.
But one of the functions during the WWSD is that the control still regularly(daily? I forget) excercises all valves and pumps, and may even fire the boiler briefly(I'd have to check on that, I don't recall 100%).
But the point being is that there are clearly controls designed for supporting boilers being "shut down" during the non-heating season which in warmer climates can be the far more significant part of the year.
I don't doubt that running the boilers constantly in some low temp steady-state is the ideal(as with any system) but I wonder if this may be cost prohibitive given fuel costs for those in warmer climates?

WWSDI have a W-M ultra 3 that has warm weather shutdown. I am not sure that it is very important for a boiler like this. The boiler is cold start, so if nothing calls for heat, it would not run anyway. Mine is set for 70F outside (the factory default setitng), and I have not bothered to change it. I have to leave the boiler on all the time anyway because it provides the heat for my indirect hot water heater, but it fires for this in warm weather only when the indirect calls for heat.
The controller will exercise the circulators for 10 seconds every 72 hours of inactivity. It would not fire the boiler unless its temperature got below 40F (or something like that).

I have been shutting mine down every summer for years.You all know my opinions of cold start boilers, but I have been shutting mine down every summer for years. In the fall, I start it up and let it run for a day or so and then clean it. The old girl is 15 years old and still runs fine. On occassion I will have a circ leak, but that is it.
I shut boilers down for the winter (seasonal customer base) and fire them back up in the spring. Run them for a few days and then go back to clean them. Got some out there close to 30 years old.
Just my $.02 worth.
Good Luck.

Is it safe to shut off furnace during the summer?We have a new (approx. 1 year old) Burnham furnace that heats our house via forced hot water in baseboards. It is fueled by oil. Separately we have an electric hot water tank that heats our domestic (at least that is what I was told it is called, I am new to all of this) hot water. In the summer the furnace will kick on now and then to heat the water in there because it thinks it has to always keep it at a certain tempurature, despite it really not having to do so. Is it safe to shut it down during the summer? I don't want to waste oil and listen to it kick on (it is right below the living room so it is certainly noticeable when it kicks on) if I don't HAVE to. I was told yes, but to run it once for an hour every 2 weeks... is this true? Thank you.
thfurnitureguy April 3, 2005 @ 3:38 PM
Contact this userBurnham boiler Mfg. says to "fill the boiler to the top of the water column and leave it that way. Prior to start up next Fall drain to the proper level". shutting off the manual oil valve (fuel), and spraying the inside burning surface with light oil to prevent rust are also recomended. THIS IS FOR A STEAM, OIL FIRED,BOILER WITH NO WATER HEATING COIL. Get online and ask the Mfg for your boiler shutdown instructions. Best luck T.

IT IS SAFE TO Shut down your Heating systemI am in the heating Bizz for years, Oil,Gas,Electric. Yes it is safe to shut down the units. I agree with tightening coil gaskets. But that is all. Shut them down have them serviced by a Service Company Not a buddy that has " AN Idea" how to do it. at the price of fuels today it is really wasteful to heat these units. 23 years in the heating bizz,

Once you have your certificate created and loaded into Flash, you can then work on your provisioning profile. This will enable you to provision a device for testing as well as load up that information into Flash to be able to publish an app out to that testing device. So that's what we'll focus on, and I'm going to go out to the iOS Developer Portal. Here in the portal, notice that there are certificates that I can create, but really I want to go down to Devices. In this Device tab, I can go ahead and add test devices.
I can actually add up to a hundred devices. I already have an iPad loaded up, but I'm going to go ahead and add another one. This one will be called Paul's iPhone, something creative like that, and I need to get this Device ID. That actually comes from my device and I can get that using iTunes. So I'm going to go ahead and launch iTunes. Here I am in iTunes and notice I already have my device connected and really what I want to do is I want to click right here and this will change my serial number to the UDID, the Unique Identifier for this device.
Now you don't need to write down all those letters and numbers. What you can do is just go Edit > Copy and it will copy that UDID as long as it's being shown, and then go back right in here and paste it into the portal just like that. Lastly, just hit Submit, and now that's a registered device. Okay, so I have two registered devices. That looks good. Let's go into the App IDs and this really enables me to give my app a unique string that really identifies my app to the developer that made the app.
So I'm going to create a new App ID and in here I can give it a Description and I'll just say it's MyTestApplication. And I'm just going to use the Team ID, so I'm not going to worry about selecting anything in there. But I'm going to go ahead and put in a Bundle Identifier. So this is my suffix, there's going to be sort of a string of numbers and then followed by a suffix and usually it's a reverse domain lookup. But that's really what I'm going to do. I'm going to do com.lynda., and I could put in the app name, but really if you put in Asterisk, that really frees you up to not having to sort of create a new App ID each time.
This is just a wild card, so this makes it more flexible for me. So com.lynda.*, and remember this has MyTestApplication as the description. Okay, so I'll click Submit and now since I've created a new App ID, I can scroll down and there it is, MyTestApplication. You can see the specific App ID right there with a wild card. So plenty in here, you'll probably only have one or two. Now I need to go ahead and create a new provisioning profile.
So I need to provision my device as a test device, so I need to put a profile on it, a development profile. So I'll select New Profile, I'll give this a profile name. So Paul's, something unique, and this could be my monster match-up test, whatever, but it's really Paul's lynda Test and I'll go ahead and use the Paul Trani certificate that I created earlier. And I can select that App ID, and right down here, here's MyTestApplication, and I'll go ahead and select all of the devices.
Again, there could be up to a hundred in here. I'd say that looks good, I'll click Submit and it will be pending, so you might be need to refresh this page a couple times until the Download button appears. Now keep in mind, if you're curious about any of the other terminology or the how-to, there are these How To sections as well, but I'd say that looks good, I'm just going to keep in mind the com.lynda and then that Asterisk, but really I'm just going to click Download and it's going to download that provisioning profile.
I want to go ahead and show this on my Desktop, so I'm going to right-click in Show in Finder. And here it is, there is my developer identity certificate I made earlier and here's my mobile provision. I need to go ahead and put this on my device. So from here I'm going to go ahead and launch iTunes again. Here's iTunes, my device is still connected, and really what you need to do is take this and click-and-drag it to your Library. All right! It actually copied it in there and you can just even drag it in there again and what will happen is it'll say, hey, it's already there, do you want to replace it.
That's just a way to check to make sure your mobile provision actually gets synced up on your device. So that looks good. In fact, I can go ahead and sync that so it appears on my device. I'll just hit Sync. And while that's going, I'm going to go ahead and jump into Flash and use that same mobile provision in my publish settings for my app. Here I am back in Flash. For the provisioning profile, I'll point to that file. It happens to be in my Downloads folder, there it is, my mobile provision file.
Select Open and look how it adds com.lynda and then Dot. I can go ahead and say MonsterMatchUp if I want to give it a unique ID. But that's the great part about this. I gave it a wild card, so I could put anything there that I want. Now as you develop, which you might want to do, is consider in the General tab, incrementing the Version because you might need to make multiple changes and make sure the file gets updated if you keep publishing it out.
So just think about incrementing the version number so the app gets updated each time on your test device. But with that in place, I'm going to go ahead and publish this out. I'll select OK, and File > Publish. Now it's going to go ahead and make that IPA file. As you can see right down here, I now have this MonsterMatchUp.ipa file. This is really awesome. It's basically taken this content and ultimately really these two files and made this IPA file.
Now I can go ahead and take this app file and drag it, just click-and-drag it right into your Library, just like that. There it appears; notice I haven't attached any icons to it. Yeah, that's fine because I'm just testing this out. But you can see the app is right there. And if I go into my Apps area, I just want to make sure that is synced up. So it will actually appear on my second screen. So that looks good, I will go ahead and click Apply which is going to sync that to my iPhone.
So here's my iPhone and as you can see right there, there is MonsterMatchUp. I'll select that. It will go ahead and launch the app. You can see it right there, and as I tilt the device, you can see that little guy kind of move around on the screen. So that looks pretty good, in fact, I'll just close that back out and again, you can see that I can test it on my iPhone, iPad, iPod. Works great. And keep in mind also my mobile provisioning profile is installed on the device as well.
It's under Settings in the General tab. So with my device set up and Flash Pro set up, I can really start having some fun by testing out apps directly on a physical device.

2013 was a very challenging year for walleye fishermen. With water levels low in the spring it didn't take too long for mother nature to catch up. Record amounts of rain and wind kept a lot of anglers onshore and cancelling some trips. While most charters fished hard and caught good numbers of fish, limit catches didn't come until later in the season. With the weather improving by the end of June, fishing improved into July and the mayfly hatch didn't seem too bad. We didn't really get a hot summer so the algae bloom was nearly non-existant which was the good news. As usual, trolling with my custom made spoons I call worm haulers produced some nice catches of walleye for many charters. We didn't see the dog days of August either so water temperatures didn't rise as high as they usually do but the fish still headed to the deeper, cooler waters north and east anyway. All in all it was a quite different year.
Lake Erie perch, frequently referred to as yellow perch is regarded by many as the best tasting fish that the great lakes has to offer. Perch fishing begins anytime in July or August and we'll be using the traditional Lake Erie spreader or my hand crafted perch rigs tipped with native Lake Erie emerald shiners. Perch fishing provides great action for young children fishing for their first time as well as adults and you can't beat the great taste. If you like to perch fish then this charter is for you!
2013 perch fishing started out earlier than usual, as early as July and was excellent well into September. While Lake Erie yellow perch are much smaller than their walleye cousins, these guys are just as tasty for that evening meal. August is generally a good time to be perch fishing since the weather is more pleasant, winds are lighter and the fish seem to be somewhat larger and biting well.
For a slightly different experience, try a 50/50 day of fishing, 1/2 day of walleye fishing combined with a 1/2 day of perch fishing. Arrangements must be made at least the evening before we leave the dock so that we're sure to have the right bait onboard.
Be sure to read what the Ohio DNR has to say about the current fishing conditions for Lake Erie. Just click on the link below!
Here are a few things to consider when booking your trip. If you like jig fishing and don't mind the cold and sometimes wet spring weather then early April until about the second week of May is best, but depends on the seasonal weather conditions. Early spring trolling with crankbaits can prove successful for landing big female, post spawn fish when winds allow. Casting Lake Erie weapons or weight forward spinners with night crawlers usually takes precedence after the jig bite in early May and lasts throughout the summer. Using bottom bouncers while casting provides you with additional lines in the water that sometimes outproduces casting and can become fast and furious. Trolling, while considered by many as meat fishing can be just as challenging as casting and usually keeps you busy changing lures, trying to figure out what the walleye want to eat and takes place anytime from the end of May until fall. This is a great option when fishing with children or first time adults. Flexibility with technique is a must if you want to take home a good catch of fish. Filling your cooler with tasty fish is my top priority!
Lake Erie fishing for walleye is considered by most fishermen to be the best in the country, so for walleye fishing at its finest be sure to book your next Lake Erie fishing charter with a professional, U.S.C.G. & Ohio guide licensed captain!
I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to a great year of quality walleye fishing on Lake Erie with a lifetime of memories! Be sure to book your Lake Erie walleye and perch fishing charter early for the best date selection and reserve your day onboard Get Reel Guide Service, LLC!

Zizek on his new book "God in Pain" (paraphrased):
God becomes a narcissist: he wants to be loved… In the Bible Job says: All these catastrophes that fell on me have no meaning… God expresses his perplexity at his own creation. This is the first step out of this pagan view 'do your duty' and so on… What dies on the cross is God beyond himself… God no longer can be conceived as 'we are in shit but at least we have an old guy up there'… Holy Spirit is the egalitarian community bound by love… This was Paul Claudel's insight: God can't do anything without us, God has to trust us. This is a message of freedom… Chesterton says, only in Christianity God himself becomes for a moment an atheist… My problem with Dawkins is: there is no insight of how a religion works, about the status of belief. Belief for me is something very mysterious. We live in an era of strictly controlled hedonism. This is not true hedonism. The only true hedonists today are those who take drugs or smoke. I don't promote that, but just think about it: we believe more than ever, beliefs to function don't have do be first person beliefs. You have a belief which is nobody's belief… The children pretend to believe in Santa Claus for their parents… We have this need to believe that there is someone who believes. The truly Christian gesture is to abandon objectified belief. If in Life is Beautiful it would have turned out that the small boy was (let's imagine) aware of how the camp really was not just a game, then this would be an example of the truly Christian gesture: that the boy's show of belief is there only to protect his father from psychological breakdown.

An essay by Zizek. I agree with his political stance and can appreciate the philosophical perspective from which he views the issue. But I'm not sure about his theological reading of Islam, since I have no expertise in it. Still, an interesting read.
Insofar as we tend to oppose East and West as fate and freedom, Islam stands for a third position which undermines this binary opposition: neither subordination to blind fate nor freedom to do what one wants - both of which presuppose an abstract external opposition between the two terms - but a deeper freedom to choose our fate.

In addition to all the various reasons I've listed here for why I hate religion, I'm adding everything on this meme. I'm pretty sure I've already covered everyone of these here since these things all happened, or were reported on within the 6 months of me running this blog. This is why I will not respect your religion. I will respect you, I will love you, I will live and work amongst you as I always have. I won't treat you badly because you are a person of faith because that's not my intention. I will however NEVER fail to highlight the evils in this world bred and supported by those who act according to their interpretation of religion and religious texts.
The very fact that some theists can say that this is not what their religion is about, while others can defend this kind of behavior using the same scriptures should be reason enough to ask some critical questions. If these actions are divinely inspired and written, if they are blessed by whatever name you give your god; why then do not all believers of your faith act as one? If your deity is not powerful enough to foster unity amongst its believers, then how omnipotent are they? I've heard every answer you can possibly give me, I used to give the same answers myself.
Gods are inventions of men. Scripture is like clay, each person of faith can mold that clay until it fits them just right. You can use as much or as little of it as you need. You can fire the pieces you pick to make them stronger, while leaving the parts you don't want to dry out and crumble. But like all things made of clay, even the pieces that you strengthen will crack and break when hit with enough pressure. My jar thankfully shattered to pieces after developing cracks over the years. Keep hanging on to yours, but know that non-theists will keep adding pressure. ~ Kim

Posted on February 5, 2013
The Weather Company (TWC) today announced the appointment of Gail McGovern, president and CEO of the American Red Cross, to its board of directors. The American Red Cross, the nation's leading emergency response and blood services organization, has a long-standing working relationship with TWC. The two entities recently announced a new partnership to promote weather safety & preparedness and to support the disaster relief work of the Red Cross, reinforcing a shared mission to keep the public safe and informed.
"Adding Gail as an outside director clearly gives us a uniquely qualified perspective on how we communicate about the impact of severe weather. However, her vast experience in both the non-profit and corporate sector go far beyond disaster response and I am certain she will add value to decisions regarding every aspect of our business," said David Kenny, chairman and CEO, TWC.
"Having worked closely with The Weather Company, I have first-hand knowledge of the strength of its brands and expertise, as well as its commitment to public safety as a trusted provider of weather information," said McGovern. "Joining the board will allow me to be a part of a company I have always admired and will provide me an opportunity to contribute to its future growth."
Since joining the American Red Cross in 2008, McGovern has overseen the organization's response to multiple high-profile disasters both domestically and abroad. Under her direction, the Red Cross eliminated a $209 million operating deficit in two years and has initiated extensive modernization projects including an overhaul of its IT systems, a nationwide expansion of Red Cross health and safety instruction, and the growth of the organization's digital and social media presence.
On March 10, 2011, she was appointed as one of 10 members on President Barack Obama's Management Advisory Board and serves as the only nonprofit leader on this White House panel.
Prior to joining the Red Cross, McGovern was a faculty member at theHarvardBusinessSchooland served as president of Fidelity Personal Investments, a unit of Fidelity Investments. She was also executive vice president for the consumer markets division at AT&T, responsible for AT&T's $26 billion residential long-distance service and largest business unit.
McGovern earned a bachelor's degree from Johns Hopkins University and a master's of business administration degree from Columbia University, and has since been recognized as alumna of the year from both universities. She is currently a member of the board of trustees of Johns Hopkins University and the board of directors of DTE Energy. McGovern was recognized by Fortune magazine in 2000 and 2001 as one of the top 50 most powerful women in corporateAmerica.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Peel the potatoes and cut into slices somewhere between 1/8 and 1/16 inch thick. The slicing disk of a food processor does this rapidly. Drop the slices in cold water as you go.
Select a shallow baking dish (an oval gratin 8x14x2 inches is ideal) and grease it well with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Crush the garlic cloves and use one to rub the dish all around.
Put the milk in a saucepan, add all the garlic cloves, including the one used for the dish, and several gratings of nutmeg. Bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, drain the potatoes well and layer them in the prepared dish, seasoning each layer with salt and pepper. Strain the milk over, sprinkle with the grated cheese, and dot with butter. Bake for about 1 hour, or until the milk is absorbed and the top is nicely browned. Remove from the oven and let set for 10 or 15 minutes before serving.

Just got back from seeing Catching Fire - SPOILER FREE.
I don't even know what to write.. It surpassed ALL my expectations and blew me away! They took so many lines directly from the book! Not to mention they hardly left anything out.. this movie had EVERYTHING. The CGI was so much better this time around, fucking fantastic. The actors and actresses were soooooooo flawless. I love, love, loVED Finnick and Johanna! Omg. Plus the beautiful beautiful Everlark moments. So many freaking feels (especially at a certain train moment & beach moment). 90% of this movie I spent on the EDGE of my seat. So well done.. so freaking well done. I was about 30mins into the damn movie when I turned to my boyfriend and said I need to see this again.. like now- and the movie wasn't even half over yet <3 Plus the movie was so much more real this time.. I mean the first one was dark, but this one is so much darker. The times that you tear up in this film.. ahhhhh
Thank you Francis Lawrence and the rest of the cast and crew! You people deserve a standing ovation. This movie was one of the greatest movies I've seen in a long time. I'll be counting down the minutes till Thursday when I can watch it all again!
Also- Subway was so awesome with the VIP treatment and gift cards! Shout out to Subway "where the victors eat" lmao
Strange things did happen here.. No stranger would it be..
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree. (x)
"What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again."
"What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again."
Just got this done today! This was taken right after it was done- hence the redness and darkness of the dandelion!
Peeta and I sit on the damp sand, facing away from each other, my right shoulder and hip pressed against his. I watch the water as he watches the jungle, which is better for me. I'm still haunted by the voices of the jabberjays, which unfortunately the insects can't drown out. After a while I rest my head against his shoulder. Feel his hand caress my hair.
(Source: openly-insane)
Not only does he hate me and want to kill me, he no longer believes I'm human. It was less painful being strangled.
(Source: victorsvillage)
At the mention of my name, Peeta's face contorts in effort.
"Katniss…how do you think this will end? What will be left? No one is safe. Not in the Capitol. Not in the districts. And you…in Thirteen…"
He inhales sharply, as if fighting for air; his eyes look insane.
"Dead by morning!"
Off camera, Snow orders, "End it!"
Beetee throws the whole thing into chaos by flashing a still shot of me standing in front of the hospital at threesecond intervals. But between the images, we are privy to the real-life action being played out on the set. Peeta's attempt to continue speaking.
The camera knocked down to record the white tiled floor. The scuffle of boots. The impact of the blow that's inseparable from Peeta's cry of pain. And his blood as it splatters the tiles.

There I was, minding my own (lady-)business, happily masturbating with my Laya Spot, when the cat hopped up on the bed. He rubbed against my leg, purred, made eye contact with me. Held eye contact with me.
That's it: the moment is killed. I can't get it off when the cat is in my bed, certainly not while we're making eye contact.

The User Tagger module also allows you to set a tag and highlight color for any user. It is applied whenever you see their name.Example:
Configuration Options
defaultMark - clickable mark for users with no tag. Defaults to an underscore ('_')
hardIgnore - If "hard ignore" is off, only post titles and comment text is hidden. If it is on, the entire block is hidden - note that this would make it difficult/impossible for you to unignore a person.
colorUser - Color users based on cumulative upvotes / downvotes
hoverInfo - Show information on user (karma, how long they've been a redditor) on hover.
hoverDelay - Delay, in milliseconds, before hover tooltip loads. Default is 400.
fadeDelay - Delay, in milliseconds, before hover tooltip fades away. Default is 200.
USDateFormat - Show date (redditor since...) in US format (i.e. 08-31-2010)
vwNumber - Show the number of votes you've given a user (i.e. [+6]) rather than just a coloured [vw]. The colorUser configuration option needs to be enabled in order to activate this.
vwTooltip - Show the vote weight tooltip on hover (i.e. "your votes for..."). The colorUser configuration option needs to be enabled in order to activate this.

I sculpted an Apple Jack who was purchased, paid for, and shipped away to Japan. Welp. The buyer didn't like her so she intentionally broke my work and **"refused" the package.
**A package can only be refused if it is UNOPENED, however, she had been repackaged with Japanese stickers holding the bubble wrap together.
"But Fayen, how do you know she was intentionally broken?"
Easy. I ship my work in tupperware, which is inside of a box. Tupperware is extraordinarily hard to damage in shipping. I MUMMIFY them in bubble wrap. Plus her tail was completely ripped off. Due to my wire armatures, that would be IMPOSSIBLE in shipping. The wire was facing upwards and had been cut.
I put a lot of love into her, so with a heavy heart, I fixed her. Now, her damage is unnoticeable. She has been re-adopted to a loving home <3
**Dear anyone, if you don't like a piece of art you purchased, please just return it.. It's much more heartbreaking to see your hard work ruined than it is to hear "Sorry, I don't like it." We put many hours and much love into our work.**

How To Use the PUSHD Command to Access a UNC Path at a Command Prompt in Windows 2000

On This Page
This article describes how to use the pushd command to gain access to a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path at a command prompt.
You cannot change to a UNC path at a command prompt. However, you can use the pushd command to access a network path. If command extensions are enabled (this is the default in Windows 2000), the pushd command accepts network paths in addition to drive letters and paths. If you specify a network path, the pushd command creates a temporary drive letter that points to the network resource, and then changes the current drive and folder to the new drive letter. Temporary drive letters are allocated starting from Z and then backward through the alphabet, using the first unused drive letter found.
How to Use the PUSHD CommandTo use the pushd command, type the following line at a command prompt, where uncpath is the UNC path for the network share that you want to use:
pushd uncpathFor example, to connect to a share named Sharename on a server named Servername, type the following line, and then press ENTER:
pushd \\servername\sharenameThe pushd command creates a temporary drive letter that points to the network share, and then changes the command prompt to that drive letter.
You can use the pushd command several times in one session. This creates a list (or "stack") of folders. You can type pushd with no path name to view the current state of the stack.
How to Use the POPD CommandYou can use the popd command to remove the top folder from the stack. The popd command returns you to the previous folder, and removes the temporary drive letter that was created by the pushd command.
The pushd and popd commands work together. The pushd command captures the name of the current folder. You can also add the name of a folder to which you want to change. For example, typing pushd \data1 switches you to the DATA1 folder, but remembers the name of the current folder. To return to this folder, type popd.

I've never been a fan of PC manufacturers pre-loading software onto computers that they sell, but it's always been a way of life in an effort to cut costs and make the money up elsewhere. Not only does that crappy software take up space on your hard drive, most of the time, people never ever use any of it. It's a waste of resources.

NFL Star Terrell Owens Receives Award for Raising Awareness About Alzheimer's
March 27, 2009 - 4:14 PMNFL wide receiver Terrell Owens was in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday to receive the Alzheimer's Association's first "Young Champions Award" for raising awareness about the disease.
ESPN recently reported that Owens does not plan on attending any voluntary workouts with his new team, the Buffalo Bills, but will return when he's required to be there.
While speaking with CNSNews.com at the Alzheimer's Association gala, Owens said he did not think he would be in the nation's capital during the off-season, but he is honored to receive the award.
"I'm very honored with the award," Owens told CNSNews.com. "You know, there are some very distinguished guests in the building tonight."
"I'm very familiar with Maria Shriver, who has family members suffering from the disease, and so she's been heavily involved with it," said Owens. "Along with her, Leeza Gibbons and some people that are notable names that have devoted their time to do the same thing that we're all trying to do, and that's try to increase awareness and try to find a cure for the disease."
The Alzheimer's Association has reported that Alzheimer's disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. As of 2009, the association estimated there are as many as 5.3 million people living with the disease in the United States alone.
Concerning his interest in the Alzheimer's Association, Owens said, "My involvement stems from my grandmother having the disease – being diagnosed in 1996. Ever since then, I've been a big part of educating, spreading the word, trying to increase funding, whatever the case may be to make people notice and be more aware of the disease."
One of Owens' key accomplishments with the association was in the 2003 NFL season when Owens developed an idea for donations to be made each time he scores a touchdown or makes a catch as a way to further raise public awareness of the disease.
Sharpie, the permanent marker company, agreed to donate $500 per catch or touchdown, and BEVsystems International agreed to donate $81 dollars per catch, reflective of T.O.'s number.

What Can I Do With Beef Jerky That Is Too Salty?
Good Questions
Q: I am lucky enough to work at a company that stocks a full kitchen for folks that have to work late to meet deadlines. We recently bought some beef jerky that is WAY salty.
No one's going to eat it by itself, but I hate to see it go to waste. What should I do with it?
Sent by Lana
Editor: Lana, sometimes cured meat has a salty coating that can be washed off; have you tried rinsing the jerky to make it more palatable?
Readers, any thoughts or recipe ideas for this stuff?

Maybe chop it into bits and put on top of your salad or cottage cheese for lunch? Like Bacon Bits, only not from a jar and hopefully not loaded with nearly the amount of nasty stuff those suckers had in them!
Could you sub it for bacon in soups?
Use it as you would fatback--throw a bit in pots of beans, green beans, collard greens--those Southern dishes that would typically have a bit of pork flavoring in them. And don't salt any extra until after you've cooked and tasted....
Soak it in warm water and rinse.
Your kitchen is probably not set up for such things, but you could make dried beef gravy with it.
Carne de sol com queijo! From Northeastern Brazil -- braise/rehydrate the salted meat in milk then top with a neutral cheese (e.g., queso blanco from a Latin market). (This recipe looks passable, though google translate isn't 100%... The farofa part is not essential.)
Could you boil use it make beef stock?
soak it and dice it up with portuguese chorizo and black beans to make a thick brazilian stew
make a sandwich out of it with biscuits?
I agree with lotusmoss, make soup. Vegetable beef soup sounds like it would be a great idea. I think Alton Brown has a recipe for making "jerky stew". Good Luck!
BPinDC has a good idea. There are many recipes for feijoada, which is a Brazilian black bean stew. A lot of the recipes use some type of jerked beef. Good luck!
Shave it and use it as a sandwich topping. Make soup.
