Coho Memorial Regatta
By Doug Zangre '13, Sailing Team Captain
While six of our sailors were at the Fordham/Columbia North Qualifier #1, Webb was hosting our own Fall regatta, the Coho Memorial. Racing was organized by Roxanne Schacht and Troy Zangle. Racing was held both days in favorable conditions, excluding a brief abandonment Sunday morning due to heavy wind. The young Webb team sailed exceptionally well on our home turf and went on to win the event in dramatic fashion. Congratulations go out to skippers Cody Stansky, Casey Brown, and Troy Zangle and their crews Kurt Gavel, Erin Hub, Samm Griswold, Oleg Golubev, and T. Graham Fisher. Thanks to all the volunteers who made the event possible and a special thanks to Pete Morris for graciously providing burgers and dogs!The scores from the Coho can be found here: http://scores.collegesailing.org/f12/coho-memorial-regatta/

A couple of projects that I'm happy with.
Using an image that I got from one of the welding forums, I built these two scroll benders. They work great on 3mm rectangular and round bar.
Based on the work-plan in the projects section of this website, I built a small brake as a test of concept. I have most of the stock needed to make a 1m long version of this... heavier everything...
A few more pictures of my welding journey follow these images on my website:
Thanks for looking,

A couple more pictures of the brake...
Some nice little projects.. Inspires me to make a small brake for the tiny auto fab stuff i seem to do so much of. I usually just make a temporary one with plates, a vice, some more plate and a few pairs of vice grips, but it sometimes isn't as accurate as i'd like to be and tend to waste some material if i don't notice when the part gets out of squar during clamping
You should give yourself more credit on your website, I thought everything looked reasonably well, the photo cube was a bit inconsistant but still not bad for just messing around learning TIG.
I have to say i really liked your clock, sure it wasn't completely symetrical but it was overall very nice looking and i think i may start a clock project as well here soon. I've been working on small decorative stuff to try and sell at retail gardening stores and such around here and although they aren't teh best to me the people buying them seem to love what is given (but they aren't being critics on the welds either) I'm always looking for more ideas on garden/home decor pieces that are simple to makeDynasty 200DX

European PlumsUse fresh, canned or dried into prunes. European varieties are self pollinated, a good choice for higher elevations and cold micro–climates and are well suited to processing. These plums have a long history of cultivation and are one of the main species grown worldwide. Fruit is generally oval, smaller, and more variable in color than Japanese plums. Their flavor is usually sweet and aromatic. Prunes, damsons, and gages fall into this category.
Japanese Plums These varieties bloom and ripen earlier, tend and to have larger crops. They are not generally self-pollinated and can be tricky to grow in areas with late frosts but are superb for fresh eating. They are the favored fresh eating varieties in the United states being larger, firmer fleshed, and rounder than European plums. Japanese plum trees have rougher bark, more persistent spurs, and more numerous flowers than European plums. They are also more precocious, disease resistant, and vigorous than European plums. Japanese plum flavor ranges from sweet to tart.
Both are on Citation Rootstock which is tolerant of wet soil, induces early dormancy in dry soil, is very winter hardy, resists root knot nematodes, and produces a 12'-18' tree. By pruning you can keep your tree at any height. Trees are 2 years old, and should begin to fruit in their 4th year.
Please Note: Although most of our bare-root trees arrive to our warehouse in mid-December, there are a few varieties -- Mulberry, Pecan, Persimmon, Quince, and Walnut -- that will not arrive until mid-January. If you order any of those varieties along with varieties that arrive in mid-December, your order will be delayed for shipment until mid-January unless you ask us to split your shipments and agree to pay any additional shipping charges resulting from two separate shipments.

Lyon beat Marseille for semi-finals
Lyon beat Marseille 2-1 to advance to the Coupe de la Ligue semi-finals with goals from Yoann Gourcuff and Bafetimbi Gomis.
The opener came when Clement Grenier's 30-yard free-kick bounced awkwardly in front of keeper Steve Mandanda. He could only parry and Gourcuff followed up to poke the ball home from close range.
It remained 1-0 at half-time, though Marseille were furious that Saber Khalifa was penalised for a foul on defender Samuel Umtiti before the striker...

http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/bin-la...ry?id=18465905The Navy SEAL who says he pulled the trigger on Osama bin Laden is speaking out for the first time to describe his key role in the harrowing raid, and to say he feels abandoned by the military he served for so long now that he's left the service, according to a new report.
In an interview conducted by Phil Bronstein of the Center for Investigative Reporting and published online today by Esquire magazine, the SEAL Team Six member, referred to only as "the Shooter," gives the first eyewitness account in which the al Qaeda leader is described as a direct threat right up until the moment he was killed in early May 2011 in his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
"I'm just looking at him from right here," the SEAL said, moving his hand about 10 inches from his face, according to Esquire. "He's got a gun on the shelf right there, the short AK he's famous for. And he's moving forward... He's got a gun within reach. He's a threat. I need to get a head shot so he won't have a chance to clack himself off [blow himself up]."
"In that second, I shot him, two times in the forehead. Bap! Bap! The second time as he's going down. He crumpled onto the floor in front of his bed and I hit him again, Bap! same place... He was dead. Not moving. His tongue was out. I watched him take his last breaths, just a reflex breath," the Shooter said.

I know there is a name for this kind of tooling, but can't remember what it is called
they work well under the benches, and save bench space for tools that may not be used on a daily basis.
I started building the receivers for the 3 benches, that I will mount them on.
Attaching the mounting plates to the HF 2" receiver tubes, they were cheaper with the 20% off coupon. Then the raw tube at the metal supplier I was using at the time.
Mounted under the bench the end of the tube is flush with the edge of the bench, so when not in use it isn't a snag hazard.
Beverly shear HF knock off
smaller pipe vise
end of part one
Results 1 to 10 of 11
Hitch reciever tubing tooling in the shopglen, If your not on the edge, your wasting space
A little giant 4 in 1 flat shear, round stock shear, punch, bender
I have a 12" straight shear to mount yet along with a 4" vise that has bend and rolling attachments. A universal bender, and a bender/scroller from harbor freight.
All of them are at or slightly above the bench top level for ease and comfort working them.
And finally for those times when I'm some place that doesn't have a real vise, I have this.
A Wilton pipe vise, this one I made a little to short of a distance from the grill to the centerline of the vise. It won't work for me to cut any pipe with a regular ½" to 3" rigid pipe cutter. So this one will become the base for a regular 5" vise with the pipe jaws on the bottom side and the head swivels. since it will fit in the space.
I have a receiver hitch tube on the front of the truck, to spot the trailer next to the parents brick garage, and get the trailer in my yard. As it is easier than trying to back it in on the worlds busiest dead end street that I live on the corner of!
I also have an over head rack set up for the truck one in the front tube one in the back tube plus one for the front of the bed, that straps down to the tie downs. Its about 19 feet from rack to rack makes it easy to haul long stuff and not have anything permanent flying in the wind when not in use. But that's another post.glen, If your not on the edge, your wasting space
That's the way to go portable!

...have you seen much deflection in the tubes while using any of the tools?
Have you thought about putting some side plates on the tubes?+
(I know, it would only go to the reciever anyway..)MillerMatic 211 Auto-set w/MVP
Just For Home Projects.
I will say that I have only had two of them done for a while. The two vises for the for the truck, only one is done isn't for heavy duty use. As I'm retired and will only be used at my parents and kids house. Since they only have small hobby 3" vices.
I have seen a trailer fold up jack welded to the side of a vise one to stop any flex when threading or bending. I have Rigid tri stand if I need it.
The bench mounted ones has two mounting straps with a total of four holes, which have 3/8" carriage bolts flush with a 2" thick birch bench deck. So far I haven't noticed much other than some side to side slop. I will be posting photo's of the modified receiver tubes, with a hole in one corner of the bottom side and a ½"nut welded on it and then a short bolt that will apply force to the corner of the insert tube. It will do a way with any slop and most movement, as you can always use a socket or wrench to tighten it up. I am planning on welding an S shaped rod as a finger grip to the top of the bolt. If there is too much movement I will change it to one the wrench will work on.
I know some smiths do a vertical one coming out of a 20" truck rim and the rim is filled with concrete. With the end of the receiver tube resting against the floor. They also use the corner mounted nut and a wrench to hold it steady.
As to side plates I have cut some sheet metal shims and slide them in the receiver tube in the past to take up the slop, they work and are an easy fix.
Will try to modify the next receiver tube that is half done and post the results soon.glen, If your not on the edge, your wasting space

Could be any of the above or just my fill technique as I did a weave on some. Since I don't plan on selling and and I don't do much MIG welding with it since the thickness it is way over its rated capacity. It was at the top end of the the knobs. Haven't had anything ever come apart at the welds yet.glen, If your not on the edge, your wasting space
you mentioned shiming to take out movement, I have had tools mounted like that for about 15 years now. What I did on my bench mount is to weld two 3/4" nuts to the botttom and put short bolts in it that I can tighten up to lock down the tool in the reciever.Bench Mounts.jpg"The only source of knowledge is experience."

They have soft tips, rod actions that are slightly faster and crisper than Winston's WT series and, of course, the distinctive feel found only in a Winston. The five-section design features the Winston internal spigot ferrule system, which ensures that the taper and internal diameter of one section of the rod exactly matches that of the adjoining section. The performance of these fly rods is unmatched in the category; an LT 5-piece is a superb choice, whether you're hiking into a backcountry lake, taking a trip to Chile or just heading out on your home waters.

I'm sure that you've all been following the flood of information hitting newsstands from the latest WikiLeaks fiasco, but did you know that the world of genomics is not immune? According to the Genomics Law Report, the State Department's ongoing human intelligence collection directives include requests for "biometric information" on key world leaders, including United Nations arms inspectors, the Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) and key advisors and aides to United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. A separate cable detailing intelligence collection priorities in Africa's Great Lakes region clarifies that "biometric information" includes "health [data]…fingerprints, facial images, DNA, and iris scans."
Not disclosed in the WikiLeaked cables: why the State Department wants the biometric data or whether any have been successfully obtained.

Is there a better holder in the league than Matt Bosher?
I say no.
Is there a better holder in the league than Matt Bosher?
I say no.
Ten - zip. I find that a little surprising.
Just win Phin baby!
Krapernick is getting his ass kicked. Love the amazed look Harbaugh just gave after that sack.
Krapernick is a punk douchebag anyway. With his goofy looking weak beard, his all black brewers hat with the old logo in non team colors with of course the stickers on it, the hideous tatoos...... Just another Johnny come lately that the sock puppets have been worshiping.
The only thing missing is one of the Atlanta defenders shouldve done that bicep kiss thing after they sacked his sorry ass.
Bill Belichick on "putting the tape on"
What surprises me is how people think that it's just some simple task to stop the Atlanta receivers.
People act like teams are capable of doing that all the time. Roddy White. Julio Jones. Tony Gonzalez.
Two #1 receivers and quite possibly the greatest tight end of all-time.
But we don't need any Matt Ryan's or #1 receivers.
We drafted that tackle.
Harbaugh might have to put Smith in. The 9er's have to pass and Kaepernick is definitely not the guy for that.
Dual threat QBs lol.
We should go get Mike Vick since Atlanta made such a poor decision to get rid of him.
Meanwhile, Matt Bosher with another perfect hold on the PAT.
49ers have already changed their entire gameplan.
Power run Frank Gore trying to wear the defense down so that Kaepernick can get loose.
San Francisco handcuffed by their dual-threat QB.
I hate the Niners and hope Atlanta slaughters them. I didn't think they would be up three scores on them though.
Matt Ryan- 11/14 182 yards 2 TDs
Jake Long-
And now his fires have gone out.
If I were a Falcons fan, I would be much more concerned about that Mike Nolan D in the second half than Matt Ryan, to be honest.

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)
U.S. Surgeon General's Mental Health Report
Endorses Assertive Community Treatment
The research-based U.S. Surgeon General's Mental Health Report in presenting a science base for its concluding section, "A Vision for the Future," on page 455 states, "Across the Nation, certain mental health services are in consistently short supply. These include assertive community treatment, an intensive approach to treating people with serious mental illnesses. All too frequently, these effective programs are simply unavailable in communities. It is essential to expand the supply of effective, evidence based services throughout the Nation."
In a June 7, 1999 directive to state Medicaid agencies the Federal Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) urged state Medicaid directors to fund assertive community treatment programs. HCFA based this guidance on the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (ANHPR) and National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) sponsored Schizophrenia Patient Outcomes Research Team (PORT) recommendations developed on the basis of a comprehensive review of the treatment outcomes literature. PORT was conducted by Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland. Referencing the PORT study, page 279 of the Surgeon General's Report says, "Systems of care serving persons with schizophrenia who are high users should include ACT (Assertive Community Treatment) and ACM (Assertive Case Management) programs."
The program of assertive community treatment (ACT) approach is supported by two decades of research, most of it financed by the Federal government, that show ACT to be effective and cost-effective.

Amebiasis is an infection of the intestines caused by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica.
Amebic dysentery; Intestinal amebiasis
Entamoeba histolytica can live in the large intestine (colon) without causing damage to the instestins. However, sometimes, it invades the colon wall, causing colitis, acute dysentery, or long-term (chronic) diarrhea. The infection can also spread through the blood to the liver and, rarely, to the lungs, brain, or other organs.
This condition occurs worldwide, but it is most common in tropical areas with crowded living conditions and poor sanitation. Africa, Mexico, parts of South America, and India have significant health problems associated with this disease.
Entamoeba histolytica is spread through food or water contaminated with stools. This contamination is common when human waste is used as fertilizer. It can also be spread from person to person -- particularly by contact with the mouth or rectal area of an infected person.
Risk factors for severe amebiasis include:
In the United States, amebiasis is most common among those who live in institutions or people who have returned from travel to an area where amebiasis is common.
Most people with this infection do not have symptoms. If symptoms occur, they are seen 7 to 28 days after being exposed to the parasite.
Mild symptoms:
Severe symptoms:
Examination of the abdomen may show liver enlargement or tenderness in the abdomen.
Tests include:
Treatment depends on the severity of infection. Usually, metronidazole is given by mouth for 10 days. This is followed by paromomycin or diloxanide.
If you are vomiting, you may need to medications through a vein (intravenously) until you can take them by mouth. Medicines to stop diarrhea are usually not prescribed because they can make the condition worse.
After treatment, the stool should be rechecked to make sure that the infection has been cleared.
The outcome is usually good with treatment. Usually, the illness lasts about 2 weeks, but it can come back if treatment is not given.
Call your health care provider if you have persistent diarrhea.
When traveling in tropical countries where poor sanitation exists, drink purified or boiled water and do not eat uncooked vegetables or unpeeled fruit. Public health measures include water purification, water chlorination, and sewage treatment programs.

35 Years Ago: Black Sabbath's 'Never Say Die!' Released
Much has been made – and rightly so – about Black Sabbath's almost-reunion, minus founding drummer Bill Ward, to record 2013's '13' album, an astounding 35 years after Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler last collaborated on an LP, 'Never Say Die!,' which was released on Sept. 28, 1978.
Despite its defiant title, 'Never Say Die' ultimately hammered the final nail in the original foursome's coffin following years of escalating substance abuse and diminishing musical success. But it turns out that cheeky title wasn't that inaccurate after all; we just had to wait 35 years for its prophecy to be realized.
Unfortunately, during those intervening three-and-a-half decades, 'Never Say Die!' endured heaps of scorn – much of it deserved, some not – from both critics and honest fans – not least once Black Sabbath's very next album, 1980's 'Heaven and Hell,' ignited such a remarkable renaissance behind new singer, Ronnie James Dio. After all, by any reasonable comparison, 'Never Say Die!' was clearly the work of an exhausted, crippled musical unit; a unit that appeared to run out of what little head of steam they could muster right around the final power chords of the album's forceful opening title track.
Subsequent numbers found Sabbath either flying on autopilot (see 'A Hard Road,' 'Shock Wave,' the serviceable 'Junior's Eyes') or shoring up their dwindling inspiration with unconvincing experimentation (the lethargic, synth-afflicted 'Johnny Blade' and 'Over to You,' the inexplicably horns-backed 'Breakout,' the Ward-sung calamity 'Swinging the Chain'). In the band's defense, this adventurous streak also produced 'Never Say Die!'s' most compelling song in the shockingly lovely 'Air Dance' (showcasing fluid piano-tickling by session man extraordinaire, Don Airey), but what does such a – let's just admit it – dainty concoction say about the creative state of heavy metal's founding fathers?
That's right, not much! And even 35 years down the line, 'Never Say Die!'s' modest standing within the Black Sabbath discography has only improved thanks to latter-day disasters like 'Cross Purposes' and Forbidden,' which brought the band's historic career to new lows. So look on the bright side, 'Never Say Die!' apologists: the only way from here on out is up!

Remember Prism? It was the Mozilla powered application that let you turn any web page into a desktop application. Not much has happened since it was released, however many other browsers have started looking in that direction (merging the web and the desktop program list). So what about Firefox?
It appears there are plans to include "Prism-like features" into a future release of Firefox.
The plan thus far is to help users discover when they might want to make a web application into a desktop application. For example, if you use Google Reader a lot – after so many uses, Firefox may suggest to you, "Would you like to make Google Reader a desktop application?" or "Would you like to add Google Reader to your Quick Launch bar?".
I like the idea – and I can't wait to see it happen. How about you? (Source: Download Squad)

|Three Types of Festivals This Weekend
Three types of festivals here in Vermont this weekend: two winter festivals, a music festival, and a distinctive, old time ice harvesting festival. Imagine all that in this one tiny state!
Not just a winter festival, but a Viking Winter Festival! Saturday and Sunday, January 31 and February 1 in Ludlow VT.
Make a snow sculpture and enter in the sculpture contest, watch the parade on Main Street, play in the kids' obstacle course, view fireworks in the town park and enjoy the bonfire and hot chocolate.
The Bennington Winterfest is Saturday, January 31.
There will be an ice sculpture contest, Penguin Plunge, house tours, dog sled rides, indoor food featuring a chili tasting, and for the kids, face painting, bouncy house, games, prizes, band and some other nonsense. Be sure you see the pet winter fashion contest and bring your own well dressed dog or cat to enter.
In nearby Brattleboro, the Northern Roots Festival is celebrating its second annual gathering this Saturday.
The festival brings together about two dozen local and regional musicians who specialize in old musical traditions including Irish, Scottish, English and French Canadian.

The 30th Annual Brookfield Ice Harvest on Saturday, January 31, recreates ice harvesting as it was done in the days before refrigeration. Back in the old days, large chunks of ice were carved form lakes and ponds to be stored in buildings with thick walls sometimes insulated with hay, wool, newspaper or whatever else was lying around. It provided an efficient way to store food to keep it from spoiling.
There will be a talk, a demonstration, cutting competition, and hauling competition that adults and kids can try (prizes will be awarded). Also, there will be snowshoeing and ice sculpting. Brookfield is famous for its floating bridge.
Thee will also be food, ice skating, and dog sledding. Brookfield is a wonderful little town full of Vermont charm.

Kosher Bread
|Cranberry Challah
Adapted from a recipe by Susan Rhine
We liked the addition of cranberries in this recipe. They are added during the forming of the challah strands.
3 cups All–Purpose Gold Medal Flour, room temperature
Mix together 1 1/2 cups of flour and salt until blended; add the yeast and blend.
Add the liquid ingredients − honey, oil, egg yolks, warm water − to the flour mixture. Add in the remaining 1 1/2 cups of flour; mix. Let this sit for 10 minutes. Then knead with hands or dough hook until dough forms and is smooth.
Divide dough into three portions and start rolling and pulling into braids. Have all three uniform in size and length adding in your cranberries at this point or omit.
Braid the challah and then pinch ends under. Do this on a prepped sheet or parchment paper in warm area. Let rise until doubled in bulk. Mine took 1 hour.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees. Check on your bread after 20 minutes; depending on the oven, it can take from 25 to 30 minutes. I always brush mine with egg wash before baking and some people like to add sesame seeds or coarse salt to the top.
Truly your own!
Yield: Makes 1 large loaf
Recipes: Bread, Challah, Cranberry, Parve, Kosher

Is the golden rule flawed?
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
What if what you want for yourself is not what others want done to them?
Perhaps the Confucian version is better: Do not impose on others what you do not wish for yourself, rather than forcing your views on other people.
Perhaps we let people do there own thing up to the point where it harms others?
Mark Kurtz
Mar 25 2013: The Golden Rule is a good rule, but the basis is deeper than just being a rule. The deeper meaning is desire to do good to others, i.e. learning to love our fellow humans. When rules are law, it is a dutiful consideration, but love transcends law and becomes attractive, fragrant in human relationships. Desiring to do good for one another advances civil and social living to greater levels of pleasure. Treating others a certain way because you feel you have to obey a law does not rise to sincere attraction.
- +4
Both Confucius and Golden Rule are good when love is the basis for accepting them into one's life.
Mar 26 2013: Very good points mark, especially doing good for goods sake, out of love rather than obligation.Mar 26 2013: Thanks to all for some interesting reading and to Obey for a worthwhile question. My 2 cents: Jesus says that everything hangs on love God and love your neighbor. Figuring out what that means in a given situation isn't always easy. Sometimes that means acting. Sometimes it means refraining from acting. But in every case it means focusing on the flourishing of the other. The Confucian version is right that impositions are usually bad between mature people, but what about cajoling, encouraging, influencing, modeling, inviting. Finding the right degree of push to give is often a vital part of trying to be "good". In short, rules are where the negotiations should begin.
Mar 26 2013: Great points josh.
I guess the refinement I am considering, building on your comment, is perhaps the starting point is to defer to what the recipient thinks will help their life flourish. Not assuming you know best. But obviously within limits.
It is probably situational like many ethical dilemmas.
Consensus may be suitable in some cases.
Command in others.
Bernie Amell
Mar 26 2013: The ethical principal of reciprocity appears to be a natural philosophy for any person who appreciates their own humanity. The following is an excerpt prepared by the Unitarians:
- +2
"Ethic of Reciprocity" (Golden Rule) passages from various sources
Native American Spirituality:
"Respect for all life is the foundation." The Great Law of Peace.
"All things are our relatives; what we do to everything, we do to ourselves. All is really One." Black Elk
"Do not wrong or hate your neighbor. For it is not he who you wrong, but yourself." Pima proverb.
Roman Pagan Religion:
"The law imprinted on the hearts of all men is to love the members of society as themselves."
"The heart of the person before you is a mirror. See there your own form" Munetada Kurozumi
"Be charitable to all beings, love is the representative of God." Ko-ji-ki Hachiman Kasuga
Compassion-mercy and religion are the support of the entire world". Japji Sahib
"Don't create enmity with anyone as God is within everyone." Guru Arjan Devji 259
"No one is my enemy, none a stranger and everyone is my friend." Guru Arjan Dev : AG 1299
"The basis of Sufism is consideration of the hearts and feelings of others. If you haven't the will to gladden someone's heart, then at least beware lest you hurt someone's heart, for on our path, no sin exists but this." Dr. Javad Nurbakhsh, Master of the Nimatullahi Sufi Order.
"Regard your neighbor's gain as your own gain, and your neighbor's loss as your own loss." T'ai Shang Kan Ying P'ien.
Unitarian Universalism:
"The inherent worth and dignity of every person;"
"Justice, equity and compassion in human relations.... "
This is not the only useful moral precept... and it may conflict with other precepts at times... such as when disciplining children who are at risk of damaging themselves... but I don't consider a limitation to necessarily indicate a flaw.
Mar 26 2013: Fantastic examples.
I fully support reciprocity in principle, with the refinement about being careful when you are forcing something down the throat of other adults.
And another refinement for children.
It can be built upon.
Most of us probably would like a society where people have a mix of community and indiviuaslism. Freedom, and contributing to the common good. I'd like to think so any way.

Mar 25 2013: The Golden Rule is not flawed, but christian understanding of this teaching of Jesus is flawed.
- +2
Matthew 7:12 - Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
What is being said here is that as you treat others, you shall be/are being treated. (As you judge others, so you shall be/are Judged is another of his sayings" These are not commandments. They are rules (the law) for creating your own reality and how you can know what's coming your way (prophets).
Jesus said a lot of amazing things that most Christians seem never to have heard. He said that you are gods. Fear not. Resist not evil. That which you focus on you bring power to. (That last sentence = my words, not Jesus')
Jesus was trying to tell people how to create beautiful and delightful lives - that were the opposite of the difficult scrabbling for something to eat in a desert climate and a country ruled by a militant Roman occupation. He was saying that they can create (manifest) food, water, shelter and safety, and here how you do it:
If you want others to share food with you, you do that by first sharing yours with others. If you want to be respected, you do that by respecting others. In other words, if you want to be tyrannized or religiously victimized, then simply use your religion to tyrannize or victimize others - which is why Christianity is in such precipitous decline.
If ALL that you ask for ask given (as Jesus said it was if you only belive that it is), then if you don't like what you have, look at what you are asking for.
how do you see what your are asking for? Look at your thoughts, words, and deeds. Would you like it if an alien religion used the law to impose immorality on you? If no, then then don't do it to others, because ALL actions of consequences. Choose your consequences. You are in control. You ARE the power of your life. ("The light of the world")
Mar 26 2013: Hi Gail, I think reciprocity goes a long way.
I guess my point may be semantics, but it might be better to treat people how they want to be treated, rather how you would like to be treated.
If someone wants to be subject to some religious or other code, that does not mean they should apply that to others.
For example white people in Australia took aboriginal children and tried to assimilate them thinking that would be good. They didn't ask if the children wanted to stay with there families.
I guess at a deeper level we don't want rt o be forced into living the way others might want to live.
I agree many Christians perhaps forget some of the key positive messages. However there are negative ones in the bible too. Like hell. Like we are sinners. Like sins passing down to descendants. Like sexism. Like homophobia etc.
I agree we sometimes forget that we have choices.Mar 25 2013: Almost anything can be proven to be flawed if questioned enough. Even suicide bombers can find flaws in an arguement for a peaceful society if they are very excellent at sophism.
The golden rule was made with the assumption that an individual first and foremost loves himself or herself. You can only give what you have; so if you are on a twisted view of love, you may not be able to apply the golden rule.
Mar 26 2013: Your comment made me think .....what if the things you think are loving, differ from what the recipient thinks is loving?
I agree, in general, if love is gentle, kind, sacrificing to enrich the life of others. Not if it is imposing our views on others.
Good point, if you don't love and have respect for yourself, not in a narcistic way, then in may be hard to be loving to others.Mar 25 2013: Yes it is flawed.
Simply because if I was someone who viewed to inflict pain on myself, then by the "golden rule" it would be acceptable to inflict pain on other people. Or if I was a psychopath who didn't mind if I died, then it would be okay to kill other people, because I would kill people/ myself.
Also sometimes to maximize ultility it is necessary to dismiss other people's opinions, though accept them. I mean on a more happy option. If I viewed that tomato sauce was "evil" and didn't give it to myself, then by that logic I shouldn't "impose" tomato sauce on other people. Though I think this is a minor exception. :D (Not sure how sound my tomato sauce logic was! For you could just ask whether they wanted tomato sauce and then this wouldn't be "forcing" people to have tomato sauce!)
"Perhaps we let people do there own thing up to the point where it harms others?"
That goes completely against pluralism. I think (in my personal opinion) that my answer would be : You can have your opinion (to harm people) and I can have mine to go against your opinion that it is okay to harm other people.
While though the golden rule, is altogether good and encourages altruism, it is not a perfect formula. Therefore it is flawed. But it is a good one nonetheless. While there are many exceptions to it, another one would be :
If I viewed that it was necessary to maximize the utility of my nation and would sacrifice many people, and would be responsible for the deaths of many individuals (on both sides), but I wasn't willing to die myself. Then this would be wrong according to the golden rule. However from utilitarian perspective this might be right, because the end result could bring about much happiness.
I hope this helped and have made sense :)
Might edit this response later to make it easier to understand :)
Mar 26 2013: That's exactly my point.
Don't assume what you want is what others want.
I support pluralism, within limits.
Also, some of the comments touch on adding an element of common sense. Perhaps treating others in ways we agree on, not the ways we might disagree on.

Mar 25 2013: Confucius comment is much better, but getting folks to do that is another matter all together.
- +1
Mar 26 2013: I agree. Ideas are easier than implementation.Mar 26 2013: Use common sense, but something that would get so many comments so quickly has unique merits.
Mar 26 2013: I agree. Common sense. A few thoughtful refinements.
Its a punchy, pithy and powerful statement, but perhaps would benefit from further consideration.Mar 25 2013: Of course the Golden Rule is flawed.
There is no perfect system of morality or ethics.
We have to get by with the best we can do.
The Golden Rule is good enough.
Mar 26 2013: Thanks Barry.
I suggest the rule could be improved upon. Refined. Clarified to be more effective.
But it is a good starting point. Much better than some other approaches.Mar 25 2013: There is another a famous quote I like, attributed to several different people, which reads, "Your liberty to swing your fist ends just where my nose begins."

The gym wasn't full when the Snider and Concordia Lutheran girls teams tipped off. It didn't have the anticipation of a highly touted game where it's standing room only and every fan is focused on the contest.
That doesn't mean there wasn't a lot for the players to focus through, though. Concordia Lutheran hosted a breast cancer awareness night, so its team was decked out in special pink uniforms and the game was played with a pink basketball.
Even with the special look and event for Concordia Lutheran (11-6, 3-2 SAC), it was Snider (13-3, 4-1) who came out ahead with a 62-52 victory Friday night.
"At first (the pink) was a little distracting, but at the end of the day you just have to put that aside and play basketball," Snider head coach Kelley Meiklejohn said. "You know, they're excited because we supported the cause with the socks and headbands, but like I said, that shouldn't effect us when it comes to playing basketball. We have got to be focused."
Snider secured the victory by withstanding a Concordia Lutheran rally in the third quarter. The Panthers built a 13-point halftime lead and then saw it quickly dissipate.
Concordia Lutheran opened with a 13-2 run in the second half to pull within two points in the middle of the third quarter.
"We just wanted in the third quarter, we wanted to get it down to a doable margin, six or eight points," Concordia Lutheran coach Dave Miller said. "I thought the kids did a very nice job in the third quarter and then the fourth quarter just gave up a couple things."
The things Miller referred belonged to Snider's Meredith Shipman. The senior created multiple steals for fastbreak layups, grabbed offensive rebounds and scored the first six points of the fourth quarter to push a 4-point Panthers lead to double digits.
Shipman finished the quarter with nine points and was the game's leading scorer with 20 points. Snider's Wimby also contributed 14 points and Concordia Lutheran was led by DeJour Young's 19 points and Courtney Smith's 12.
"I was just trying to keep the pressure on them and not myself," Shipman said. "Just playing how I've been taught to play and fortunately I got it done."
The win gives Snider sole-possession of second place in the SAC. The Panthers are one game behind South Side in the standings after the Archers handed them their only conference loss last weekend.
"You know, we still have the SAC in the back of our mind with still two more games to play in the SAC, and even though it is in the back of our mind, we are just focused on getting better and trying to get a piece of that title," Meiklejohn said.

I am am making a bell pepper risotto. The recipe calls for 1 large beef bullion cube. I have packets that are roughly .15oz (4g) per packet. Is a normal beef bullion cube considered large? What size is the large?

I would check the recipe and see how much stock that requires, and then compare that to how much stock your bouillon cubes make. If it's close, you're probably fine. This assumes you make standard stock before using the cube, of course, and not concentrate. Does the recipe give any other clues?
If you can't get any joy this way, I'd suggest you just guess, erring on the side of bland, and taste as you go.
