What if there was a way to cool your home, car, or workplace without the need for a big, loud, and energy-hungry machine? What if this device also was entirely solar powered with no moving parts? Sound to good to be true?
This Instructable will cover the method I used to build a prototype Solar Air Conditioning Unit. This unit is a prototype, and was only ever meant as a proof of concept that my idea could work. There is a lot of testing that needs to be done to see how this idea can be used in more practical applications.

.:| This Instructable was intended to be entered into the Green Technology Contest. However, because this project uses no electronics, it was not accepted. I entered this into the Hurricane Laser Contest instead, and if you like this Instructable, it would be awesome if you would vote for it in the contest! Having a laser cutter would be awesome because it would allow me to build things better and more quickly to be able to share them with the community! |:.
7/17/2012: Thanks so much for the feature!!
Also expecting your updates about any improvement or addition..
I was thinking Get some kind of air scoop so when you drive it directs the wind inside the car. Then have a wet medium infront of it . And mybe a bottle of water and a pump which sits under the seat and pumps new water to the unit.
The car would cool down pretty fast after a few mins of driving .
IF you have any questions im an air conditioning mechanic .
I would recommend cooking thermometers like the kind they sell to make candy. They have a wider upper range than weather thermometers, they are more durable and, most importantly, you can calibrate them using boiling water (corrected for barometric pressure of course.)
I considered using candy thermometers, however they can be $10 or more, and so I didn't want to buy them when I'd only really be using them for these measurements.. I also wasn't sure how accurate/reliable they would be hanging in air, as opposed to being submerged in a syrup.
Thanks for the read and the comment!! : )
: )
All science begins with measurement. If you can't produce repeatable measurements, whatever you're doing isn't science and probably not even useful inventing/engineering. You can easily end up pursuing dead end design paths because you had to guess whether any particular design or change was really producing the results you thought they did.
I always recommend to people building anything whether woodworking, electronics, software, cooking etc to spend money first on measuring tools. It's the traditional, "measure twice, cut once" wisdom.
Check around. You can get relatively descent infrared thermometers for $20 bucks or so. Also, remember you can borrow tools. Make friends, schmooze and help other out and they will return the favor. When you're working on a shoestring friends are more important than cache.
Thanks for your input and comments!! Your help and interest is appreciated : )
Candy thermometers are quite reactive because candy making requires precision as some task like chocolate making will fail if the temperature goes outside a 4F/2C range. On the other hand the thermal mass of water, solids and sugar is enormous so they might be slow measuring just air. I have used them for a surprisingly wide variety of task e.g. checking engine temps (but please don't tell my significant other) and they seem very reactive.
Their major advantage vs weather thermometers is their upper range. Most weather thermometer peg out at around 120F/49C making them useless for measuring any temp you couldn't touch with bare hands anyway. The second advantage is that you can calibrate them with boiling water.
Thanks again!
: )
It's not hard at all to put on, however I can't really say whether or not it's "easier" since I haven't tried a foil shade. It's certainly more fun and fulfilling to put on to say the least : )
Compared with a "compressor-type" air-con, they cost pennies to run, and made he place more comfortable with the humidification or the air indoors.
I like the idea too of making it "dual purpose" to heat the car in the Winter before driving off - I'm currently doing something a bit similar to stop my workshop in the garden getting too cold and damp at night in the Winter by fitting a "Solar Collector" on the South end, blowing air heated by the sun in the day through a THICK insulated concrete base, which should radiate into the workshop at night and keep the conditions in there a lot nicer.
Your garden heating project sounds awesome! A great idea for passive solar heat.
Thanks for the read and comment!! : )
The thermal mass of this base is intended to store that heat and to radiate it from the floor into the building once the temperature inside starts to drop at night. Yes - I've been taking pictures as I've been going, and it will be submitted as an instructible when it's finished . . . . But that won't be for several months as I won't need the heating until later in the year when it starts to get colder at night. I've been neglecting a lot of other chores since I started which I'll have to catch up on!
I've built the workshop with stud wall, OSB skin inside, which will have the space between the studs insulated with glass wool insulation and twin-wall plastic cladding outside, while the roof is OSB, covered with glass wool and another layer of OSB over that. Should be nice and cozy!
I agree it would work - to a degree, but I'm putting in a "muffin" fan to be able to get the airr to circulate better.
Of course, I MAY find that it circulates enough without the fan, and that will save me having to provide a small power source (probably solar PV) to run the fan during the day.
In fact, I have the air planned to go to the bottom layer of the slab first, as this way the heat should take longer to transfer to the top of the slab (and hence into the structure above, in order to achieve my aim of keeping the building warmer during the late part of the night (electronic equipment does not like cold, damp atmosphere), but it still may work . . . . (?)
An awesome project nonetheless! Can't wait to see it!
Thanks! : )

The idea of using your apparatus dry creating heat might be useful in the winter.
*casually points to the "vote" button in the upper right* : )
This is about Trombe walls: Same effect as using your device dry:
-very susceptible to moisture, and it will swell up to maybe 3 times its size. Not desireable.
-the strength on the face of it is very good, i.e. you want to walk on it or rest things on it. I built a medium duty workbench with it, works wonderful, nice flat surface. I built utility shelves with it, very nice. I did all the wood work in my house with it... OUTSTANDING.
-but it is not structural in that it has very little span, not good on its edge, won't hold a screw (or nail) very well in the edge or even on the face to well, suggest glueing along with screwing/nailing.
-absent of moisture it is extremely stable.
-MDF is VERY heavy
For this project I would almost suggest some type of foam board with hot glue gun. Easier to work with, more resistant to moisture and very economical
Thanks for the read and comment!! : )
This stuff doesn't have a rigid outlayer but has a somewhat rigid inner core between some silver reflective paper. It has a less than 2% water absorbtion. It is just $9.48 at Lowes. I put this on my basement ceiling and had a ton of big scraps leftover, some of which spent a couple of weeks out in the weather and it came in still in good shape. I read they do a lot of modeling with that gatorboard and perhaps it is a tad more permanent but this R-Max 1/2" would be great for proof of concept projects and I even believe it would hang in there for a good deal of years outdoors, but I can't be certain.
It is NON-structural. but for small boxes etc I would try it. I'm thinking of trying a dual chamber swamp cooler using this material.
I can't wait to see your cooler!
Thanks! : )
The price is rather high, but here are some sources for single sheets.
Paint edges with latex or acrylic! Maybe 3/16" would be sturdy enough for your use...
UltraBoard is similar but with plastic surfaces (I haven't tried it):
Thanks! : )
I don't know if foam board would be quite sturdy enough for this project though, but it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot.
Thanks! : )

A REaL Surprise
Pros: Tackiness, Feel, Control, Customer Service
Cons: None
These grips by Lamkin are a real surprise. I have been a Golf Pride loyalist for many years playing the old Tour Wrap and now the newer version. I have been playing gloveless since 92 so I am super picky about my grips always wiping them down before every shot. I have been searching for a new grip so when this offer to review the REL 3Gen grip came out I jumped all over it after researching the claims made on the Lamkin Website.
While on the site, I discovered the Lamkin Grip Tool which fits you for grip size. From years of experience I know that I prefer a .580 grip on a .600 shaft so that I don't need to build up the grip. When using a .600 grip, I generally throw on an extra wrap of tape. The site's tool has you measure your hand and sure enough, it confirmed standard size with one extra wrap.
The grips came in and unfortunately they were midsize. One call to customer service and they expedited a new order in the custom gray color. The grips came on the day promised and I installed them the next day. Installation was real easy as the grips were flexible and slipped right on (two-sided tape with a touch of activator spray was all that was required). I let them set up for 30 minutes and they were ready to roll.
The first test was at the range with wedges pitching to an elevated green. I noticed that I could feel the left hand in contact with the grip and was able to vary trajectory and length without much thought. The control was there and the feel was soft. I spent some time in the bunker with similar results. On the driving range, I went through my whole bag and I could tell that these grips absorb the shock. My biggest surprise was hitting my driver as I really had control of the clubface. I have avoided this type of grip pattern before, but I can tell you that it felt like there was more of it sticking in my hand. I starting working with the 7 iron and experienced the same thing. I started sweating and sure enough, one wipe with the damp side of my towel and then a wipe on the dry and I was good to go.
Overall, I was real excited about this grip. I am going to update this review as the weeks go on so that I can give the reader a sense of performance and durability over the course of some actual rounds. A grip's true test is not the first day out of the box, but whether you have the same confidence in it after 16 rounds as you did the first day. So far, they pass the test and I will give them 5 stars for value with a reasonable price point, 5 stars for esthetics for the variety of colors (mine match my bag) and 4.5 stars for now on performance and overall rating.
The two questions that I will try to answer this weekend are:
1. Do they stay tacky?
2. Does the shock absorbing take away from my feel?
Stay tuned!
9/03 update: After 2 rounds, I am glad I tried these. The grips held up great and I had no slipping in my bare hands. The tack is consistent and I am starting to appreciate the vibration dampening qualities. I am becoming a Lamkin fan and can see myself buying these when it is time to regrip next year!
One little note, the white caps will get dirty, but they clean up pretty well. I don't see how this can be avoided as the butts make contact with the bottom of the bag, but one wipe and the grime is gone.
9/15 update: I have played 4 rounds and have been to the range numerous times and I think I have found my new grip. The tack is just right and there is no sign of wear. I am giving 5 stars all the way around as I am sold!
6/15 update: after 9 months and over 25 rounds, these grips show minimal wear. Excellent product!
8/3 update: I tried a new grip for a review and after 2 months have switched back to the REL 3Gen. With the price point, availability of colors, and the feel, this grip is 5 stars.

Seven years into Fairfax County�s hypothermia prevention program, the effort to make sure homeless people have a warm place to sleep in the winter is tangling with state building codes.
County building inspectors have told a number of churches, which help provide emergency shelter for homeless people during the winter, that they might need to make changes to their buildings to continue participating in the hypothermia program. Changes include installing new fire alarms or using a different part of the building as sleeping quarters.
Amanda Andere, executive director of the Fairfax-based nonprofit FACETS, said she is concerned some of the 28 houses of worship her organization relies on to provide emergency shelter space in central Fairfax County might not be able to continue. About half are affected, she said.
�To lose half of our churches would take out a significant amount of capacity,� she said.
The county and its nonprofit partners served about 1,000 individuals at 36 emergency shelter sites around the county this past winter.
Fairfax County officials say they are committed to working with each participating facility to resolve the code issues, and allow them to continue to participate in the program.
�There continues to be thoughtful review as to how each of these facilities are operating and to make sure that they stay safe,� said Dean Klein, director of th county�s Office to Prevent and End Homelessness.
The current situation is perplexing for faith communities such as Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Falls Church, which has opened its doors as an emergency shelter for one week during the past six winters.
The hypothermia prevention program is set up differently in different parts of the county, depending on the nonprofit running it, but FACETS works with faith communities that each serve as a shelter for one week at a time.
Pastor Jane Halpern said her church�s participation in the program always has required an extra visit from an inspector from the fire marshal�s office. This year, during Holy Week, they got an extra inspection and learned about two weeks ago they were flagged as having fire safety issues, she said.
Halpern still is waiting to meet with county officials to find out exactly what they will need to do to comply with the building codes.
�It�s not a new code. We think it�s a reinterpretation of it,� Andere said.
Fairfax County officials have been monitoring building code issues from the start, according to county spokeswoman Merni Fitzgerald, but the program has evolved throughout the years.
It started with 17 sites; now there are 36. There also are more services being provided to clients at the hypothermia shelters, rather than just bringing people out of the cold and giving them a meal.
�It�s a matter of our success,� said Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Sharon Bulova (D-At large). �It�s grown and also the period of time is longer.�
Klein said he is confident the county will be able to work through all of the code issues during the next winter cycle, which will be a transition period.
�We�ll hopefully be able to work out many issues and then, if we need additional sites, we�ll be able to identify those,� he said.
Bulova said there also might need to be a legislative solution that allows more flexibility in state building codes for similar situations, as Fairfax County is not the only jurisdiction to have dealt with this.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.—Harvey Gantt gets a faraway look in his eyes as he contemplates political battles past. The silver-haired former mayor of Charlotte is still widely respected, even revered, in his hometown; he's got a $19 million museum named after him, among other honors. But there is a tightness around the Democrat's mouth as he recalls his two bitter losses to Jesse Helms in a bid to become the first African-American elected to the Senate from the South since Reconstruction. Their first race in 1990 featured an infamous racially charged TV ad by the Helms campaign that showed a pair of white hands crumpling a job application, with the voice-over: "You were the best qualified, but they had to give it to a minority."
Gantt lost by only 6 percentage points, and then by 7 points in 1996. Now, reflecting on the losses a decade and a half later, the 69-year-old Gantt relaxes and smiles. Sure, he failed, but he got close—a lot closer than other progressives who have tried to take on archconservatives in the South, he says. "Helms never won running away like Strom Thurmond in South Carolina, or some of these longtime Dixiecrat senators," Gantt says proudly. And today, Gantt adds, the rush of history that is profoundly changing the demographics of Charlotte and North Carolina is also vindicating him. Despite a Democratic Party that's in the doldrums statewide, including a governor who rode in on Barack Obama's huge coattails in 2008 but is now so unpopular she's retiring after one term, Gantt says, "the plus for me is the state's headed in the opposite direction" from Helms, who died in 2008.
Gantt manages to detect good news even in the recent statewide vote approving a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. The outcome was intensely embarrassing to liberal North Carolinians, who are preparing to welcome a deluge of Democrats at the national convention in early September, an event that many proud Charlotteans see as a kind of coming-out party for their city. Never mind that more than 28,000 outraged Democrats nationwide signed a petition to move the convention from Charlotte. The more significant news, says Gantt, who heads the convention steering committee, is that the outcomes in Alabama, Georgia, and the other Southern states were "usually about 80-20 against that kind of an amendment" legalizing same-sex marriage. By contrast, North Carolina's vote banning such unions was a much tighter "60-40," he says. "And, I daresay, in 10 years, it will be closer."
Solid evidence of Gantt's proposition of progress sits in the mayor's office several blocks away (everything is just several blocks away in compact Charlotte, which resembles one of those perfect snow-globe cities you buy at the airport). Tall and eloquent at 41, Anthony Foxx is the current mayor and the first Democrat to hold the office since Gantt's term ended in 1987. Asked about Gantt's claim of progress during a visit in late June, Foxx reflects a moment. "My grandmother turned 95 today. It's her birthday," he says. "She grew up in a small town called Carthage, N.C. Within blocks of her home was a little auction block, where her grandmother had been sold into slavery. My grandmother can look back in her life at that North Carolina. And then she can look forward and know that, today, her grandson is the mayor of the largest city in North Carolina."
Foxx says that Gantt's losing battles against Helms helped pave the road for Obama's thin but historic 14,000-vote win in 2008 over Republican nominee John McCain—not to mention the extraordinary fact that in a state with 9.6 percent unemployment, the president is still running roughly even with Mitt Romney in the polls. "Harvey Gantt ran two remarkable campaigns, and I would argue that had he not run those campaigns and put a mirror up to North Carolina, then Barack Obama may not have won here in 2008. Those campaigns started to force our state to worry less about the package of a candidate and more about the content."
It is easy—very easy—to imagine a latter-day Helms-Gantt contest that features a victorious Anthony Foxx in the role of Gantt. (When asked about that prospect, Foxx laughs and says, "Who knows?") But it is equally fair to ask: Does North Carolina really resemble a river of progress, or is it more of a pendulum, constantly swinging between the two poles—progressive versus traditionalist—that make up the state's unique demographics? There is, and has long been, the old North Carolina of tobacco, Civil War reenactors, and roadside barbecue stands, and the New South metro area represented by Charlotte, the fastest-growing urban center in the nation, due in part to an influx of Hispanics. "It is a tale of two states," says Tom Williams, a spokesman for Duke Energy, the local utility powerhouse that, like so many major corporations, is based here.

Sepultura (Portuguese for "grave") is a Brazilian heavy metal band from Belo Horizonte, formed in 1984. The band was a major force in the death metal, thrash metal and ultimately groove metal realms during the late 1980s and early 1990s, with their later experiments melding nu metal, hardcore punk and industrial. Sepultura have released 12 studio albums so far, the latest being Kairos (2011). Their most successful records are Arise (1991), Chaos A.D. (1993), and Roots (1996). Sepultura has sold over 3 million units in the USA and almost 20 million worldwide, gaining multiple gold and platinum records across the globe, including in countries as diverse as France, Australia, Indonesia, United States, Cyprus and their native Brazil.

Series: Intelligent Design and Common Ancestry (4 entries)
Would those genuinely interested in learning about evolution benefit from a careful explanation of why these common objections don't hold water? Here the answer seemed to me to be "yes."
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Would those genuinely interested in learning about evolution benefit from a careful explanation of why these common objections don't hold water? Here the answer seemed to me to be "yes."
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
For Evangelicals interested in the evolutionary history of our species, the results of a new study are a "smoking gun" for human/Neanderthal interbreeding.
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about science and faith in America. The graphic uses data from Gallup Research, The New York Times, and the Pew Research Center to show what Americans currently believe about the origins of humans.
In today's video, Dr. Rick Colling states that evolution is not merely the imposition of death and destruction and survival of the fittest. Rather, it is about second chances.
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment on "junk DNA", we explore how genomics can be employed to test for non-functional sequences by comparing sequences between related organisms.
The discovery of DNA has revolutionized our understanding of common descent, particularly in the past few decades. Mutated genes spread through populations over generations, leading to evolutionary change. In this podcast, we look at several examples of genetic evidence for evolution.
In addressing the subject of creation, William P. Brown contends that there is not one story but seven contained in the sacred texts of the Judeo-Christian tradition. The books of Genesis, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Isaiah each provide unique perspectives of the natural world.
In this video, Aaron Daly offers his thoughts on theistic evolution, creation, and how Christians should handle disagreements over these issues. Most of all, Aaron highlights the need for love in our discussions with one another, especially when we disagree.

Kabam is the leader in the western world for free-to-play core games with 1st and 3rd party published titles available on mobile devices and the Web. The company is revolutionizing the video games industry by innovating in the business of gaming, game discovery, and great games.
Unlike traditional console video games, Kabam games are available to – more... play for free virtually anywhere gamers look for their entertainment—on mobile devices via the Apple Store or Google Play and on the Web via Facebook, Yahoo, Kabam.com and other platforms.
Kabam's "freemium" business model enables players to access games at no cost or obligation, unlike console games that are expensive to buy or inconvenient to rent, and are played only on stationary and costly hardware devices that are upgraded about every seven years. Players who enjoy Kabam games can pay for premium content in the game to enhance their playing experience. The average Kabam player is highly engaged, playing more than two hours a day.
Console quality graphics and next generation technology are the hallmark of Kabam games. The company merges the art of game design and the science of consumer behavior to create immersive games that span multiple genres, including strategy, role-playing games (RPG), racing, action and adventure, and casino.
Kabam games include some of the most recognizable brands in the world. Kabam's hit franchise Kingdoms of Camelot has grossed more than $200 million in less than four years and is one of the top ten strategy franchises of all time. Dragons of Atlantis is another top 20 strategy game. Kabam has partnered with leading Hollywood studios for mobile and Web games based on such iconic films as The Hobbit, Fast & Furious 6, and The Godfather.
Seven Kabam games gross more than $1 million per month, including three grossing more than $2 million and two grossing more than $7 million per month. Currently, three Kabam games are on the iOS Top 15 grossing list. At the end of 2012, Kabam's first mobile game, Kingdoms of Camelot: Battle for the North was the highest grossing app on iOS of the year.
Kabam also publishes games by third party developers, including Book of Heroes (iOS) and Wartune (Kabam.com). Launched in 2012, Kabam Publishing provides outside developers access to the same technology platform and marketing tools that Kabam's in-house development teams use to bring wildly popular games to players worldwide. In April 2013, Kabam announced the $50 million WWDevFund to help eastern game developers bring their games to western markets.
Founded in 2006 in Silicon Valley, Kabam has 700 employees across three continents, with corporate headquarters in San Francisco, game studios in San Francisco, Austin, Tex., Vancouver, Canada, and Beijing, China, and business offices in London, England, Seoul, Korea, Strassen, Luxembourg, and Berlin, Germany. – less

Jack is a fifth-grader with dystonia, a neurological movement disorder that limits his motor functions and ability to speak. Like many disabled children who use a wheelchair, Jack is at risk of developing problems with his Achilles tendon, which may shorten from lack of use. Surgery is often required later in life to correct the problem.
Several mechanical engineering students from LMU may have a solution. They're working on a bicycle attachment for Jack's gait trainer that would help him move his legs when he gets around, lessening the chance of a shortened Achilles tendon.
The device is part of a yearlong, senior capstone project for students in the Frank R. Seaver College of Science and Engineering. Eight mechanical engineers in two teams are designing and building products to help disabled children function more independently. The project will culminate in submitting the designs to the annual Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology of North America's student competition.
"Both teams have solid designs and a good understanding of the design process," said Matt Siniawski, mechanical engineering professor and the students' faculty adviser. "This project lets the students use their education to help benefit someone else's life, and it opens their eyes to different parts of engineering."
Each of the two teams is paired with one student from WISH Charter Elementary School, a member of LMU's Family of Schools. The teams met with the student, the student's mother, the principal and caretakers to brainstorm ideas for an apparatus that would best suit the student's needs.
For the team working with Jack, part of the goal is to provide him with a way to move his legs that is fun as well as therapeutic.
"Jack has never ridden a bike before, this is one more step toward living a more normal life" said Tim Burdiak, senior mechanical engineering student and leader of Team Jack. "The bike would promote muscular development in his arms and legs and help prevent his Achilles heel from shrinking."
The other team is paired with Abbie, a kindergarten student with cerebral palsy. Since the congenital disorder makes fine motor movement difficult, the team came up with a desk unit with a brace and rail that will help Abbie use her iPad more easily in class. Called the iPad Dexterity Enhancement Apparatus, it connects her wrist and forearm to a brace that restricts the range of motion in her hand.
"I.D.E.A. will improve the accuracy and precision of Abbie's fine motor skills without inhibiting her comfort," said Amy Clancy, senior mechanical engineering student and leader of Team Abbie. "We hope it improves her confidence and helps her to perform basic functions more easily."
Both teams are in the process of building and testing their prototypes. Later this semester, they will build the device and submit their designs to RESNA's 2013 annual conference, which takes place in June. If the designs are selected, the team will receive an all-expense paid trip to the conference. The winning team will get a cash prize and an invitation to spend three weeks at a rehabilitation research resource center to further develop their design and possibly move it towards commercialization.

Moving tributes to the lifelong voyage of director, poet and famous �Star Trek� actor Leonard Simon Nimoy are flooding our newsfeeds.

Bringing new meaning to the phrase "off the rails," Six Flags Great America's new roller coaster, X Flight, opens to the public on May 16 with one very unusual feature: There is no track above or below you. Thrill seekers sit in pairs, suspended on either side of the track with feet dangling, soaring at speeds of 55 mph through 3,000 feet of drops and various inversions, including a barrel roll and 360-degree twists. Intrigued, we asked Dave Altman, the president of American Coaster Enthusiasts, to compile the ultimate roller-coaster bucket list, which loops and rolls all the way from Sweden to Brooklyn. Don't forget to pack your Dramamine.
Here's the X Flight simulation video, which will either persuade you to visit Chicago or swear off thrill rides forever:

(April 28, 2002) - Appalachian State's Eric Pittman had four hits and drive in five runs as the Mountaineers jumped out to an early lead and then held off and East Tennessee State rally to take a 7-6 Southern Conference baseball win over the Bucs. The win gave ASU the series two games to one. East Tennessee State (17-25, 10-11 SoCon) drew first blood in the third, loading the bases with one out. Justin Clear (Lafollette, Tenn.) walked to start the inning and moved to third when John Gorton's (Hinsdale, N.H.) sacrifice attempt was thrown away by the ASU pitcher, Brian Chapman. Clear was caught in a run down on Matt Traylor's (Knoxville, Tenn.) fielder's choice, but the Bucs loaded the bases when Jeremy Terry (Cumberland, Ky.) drew another walk. Brandon Cross (Bluff City, Tenn.) singled home Gorton and Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.) followed with a sac fly to deep center and ETSU had a 2-0 lead. Appalachian State (15-26, 9-14 SoCon) wasted no time taking its first lead of the contest when Eric Pittman laced a ball over the wall in left with two runners on in the bottom of the third. The Mountaineers next hitter reached on an error by third baseman Mike Giroud (St. Petersburg, Fla.) before Chris Downard launched a shot over the wall in right, his second of the series, to give ASU had a 5-2 lead. Pittman did it again for the Mountaineers in the fourth, lacing a two-run double to left center that bumped up the ASU lead to 7-2. ETSU put together a two-out rally in the seventh, loading the bases on a pair of singles and a walk that chased ASU starter Brian Chapman. Giroud greeted Mountaineer reliever Jeff Cox with a single up the middle that scored two runs. Chad Boruff (Knoxville, Tenn.) followed with a shot to short, but it was right at the shortstop who snared it to end the inning. ETSU did again in the eighth, this time loading the bases with no outs on a walk and two singles. ASU got one out on a force at home before Cross delivered a two-run single to left, his third hit of the afternoon, that brought the Bucs back to within one at 7-6. That was all that ETSU would get, however, as Moore grounded into a double play that ended the inning. Matt Wood, who struggled a bit in the eighth, set the Bucs down in order in the ninth to preserve the win for Appalachian State. Cross led ETSU's offense, going 3-for-5 with three RBIs. Turner took the loss on the mound, allowing six earned runs and nine hits in seven innings. Chapman picked up the win for ASU, going 6.2 innings and allowing just two earned runs despite walking eight hitters. Pittman led ASU's offense, going 4-for-4 with a home run and a double, driving in five. ETSU will take the next week off before traveling to Davidson for a three-game Southern Conference series with the Wildcats, starting with a doubleheader on Saturday, May 4 at noon.

Self-Sufficience v. Sustainable Cities
The question is which idea is better. Maintaining an individual or group's self-sufficience by way of the green construction of "off-the-grid" homes that depend entirely on on-site green energy, and growing one's own produce and livestock to sustain themselves and those in their community. This is an argument to DISPURSE the concentration of populations that happen in cities, and in turn decrease crime and the massive polution that comes from cities. OR Agenda 21, which is the plan to concentrate populations INTO cities to creat single places of higher density populations while leaving the rest of the environment out in the country to heal itself, without the presence of humankind. Which is better?
Closing Statement from Evan Young
I think Scott and Alex proved the came to the table with the best points here. Both types are, in fact, necessary. I agree with the the statment about anyone who has land that does NOT grow, being a waste. When one owns a their own land, it is their responsibility to utilize it , and at the same time maintain it and better it.
I'll agree with Scott's statement about their being better transportation in the cities as well. the very few times I have had my misfortunes to find myself in the high density center of Boston, i did find it was certainly easy to get around with minimal to no fuel usage.
Everyone who had something to say here had fantastic points, and I thank you for the well thought responses. But know as a closing item, I will play Devil's Advocate simply to present an item to ponder for a while:
It is true, some people do want to live in the city, and many prefer the country life. But remember, fewer people than we realize actually drive hybrids or purely electric cars, and some people also refuse to drive hybrids because they WANT to drive fuel burning vehicles. Why serve to one lifystyle group, while treading on the other under foot and leaving them by the wayside? The massive use of fuel that this country goes through is detrimental to the environment indeed, but here's something to consider. The amount of emmisions produced by say a prius, when driven by from a blue color business man from here in Worcester "Woodchuck" County, MA all the way into the center of Boston is quite close if not more than "hillbilly" Joe driving his diesel F-350 across town to work (Remeber, regular diesel is actually cleaner burning AND more fuel efficient than gasoline).
I guess my argument is this, construct green construction closer to the cities for those who wish to work there, and at the same time encourage "off the grid" construction everywhere else. a safe and very stewardly compromise. to continue feel free to email me, email@example.com
Jan 29 2013: I think both are necessary, not everybody wants to live in the city and not everybody wants to live in a rural setting. And we also need redundant systems that can back-up each other in case of peak demands or natural disasters. We cannot put something as important as food in a single basket. Something I have to say is that anybody with a piece of land that doesn't grow some food is just a waste.
scott lee
Jan 29 2013: A city is like a potato. Most people think of the vegetable, but it's really a plant with roots and leaves that allow it to grow. For a city to be sustainable, all the resources that support it must be sustainable. The agriculture, the transportation of that food, the energy, the building materials, the means of shipping that allow for trade, and the disposal of waste must all be sustainable. That's no easy task.
- +1
People look at life in the city and see greener options. There is better public transportation, car sharing, and more like minded green thinking people. Those cities are just as dependent on the polluting resources in industrial developments as the workers in a small coal mining town are. As a person who recently moved from a smaller place (kelowna, BC, Canada) to a larger city (Vancouver BC) if have found that I have larger commutes, less gardening space and find local food to be more expensive. There are a lot of like minded environmentalists here, but I am more dependent on fossil fuels than I was before.
Cities are an inevitable part of human civilization. People like to gather. There is also a certain amount of efficiency in cities (check out this talk http://www.ted.com/talks/geoffrey_west_the_surprising_math_of_cities_and_corporations.html). However, a city is only as sustainable as the resources that sustain it. It is in the small towns that those resources come from that people will be more able to live "off the grid".
I think localized self-sufficiency is easier to achieve in the short term and adds resiliency to the system. However, its not an option for everyone. I bit of both I guess is the best we can hope for.

Only the "Self-Sufficience" is feasible!
Only this way, we can meets all the requirements of our instincts.
Only by the latter, we can be happy validly, survive without self-extinction.
Instincts are our ancestors' successful experiences formed 10,000 years ago and saved in our DNA.
(For details, see 1st article, points 1-3, 14, at https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D&id=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D%21283&sc=documents)
Gail .
Jan 28 2013: I remember two relevant studies that come to mind. One involved monkeys on an island off Japan. The monkeys were fed sweet potatoes every day - enough to sustain the entire colony. The monkeys, in the presence of abundant food, reproduced accordingly. When the island was over-run with monkeys, bedlam took over. Monkeys formed into gangs and they were dangerous. They raped, murdered, and terrorized other monkeys. Their societies broke down.

A similar study was done that involved rats who were amply fed and allowed to multiply with no increase in size of the cage. The same thing happened.
Jan 28 2013: .
Humankind will not be the similar because they will eventually know well what invalid happiness is.
Gail .
Jan 28 2013: They might know better if you would stop using the phrase "invalid happiness" and find a way to express your idea using words that people will understand. Would you please take the time to explain what you mean? Last time I commented on this, I had a lot of thumbs up regarding it - so there is an interest.

Jan 29 2013: .
Thank you very much for your help !
I am sorry I cause problems.
By "invalid" I mean that a thing which is good or valid 10,000 years ago but not good or invalid now. (The "invalid" is the literal translation from Chinese 无效)
Could you kindly show me the right word ?
Thanks in advance !Jan 28 2013: I agree with TED Lover that it would be courteous and helpful if you were to define "invalid happiness" here rather than using the term all the time without explanation as a way of steering traffic to your blog, perhaps?
Jan 29 2013: 。
Thank you very much !
I will certainly attach my definition of invalid happiness from now on.Jan 29 2013: Thank you for clarifying. So "invalid happiness" means being happy with something that you think shouldn't make a person happy today but would have been okay to be happy with 10,000 years ago?
Jan 29 2013: Yes.
Such as having junk food, drinking, smoking, taking drug .... making too much money.Jan 29 2013: Second is better. The global population simply cannot live dispersed throughout the earth in small families settlements.
We need to make huge building cities, surrounded by nature, one huge building capable of sustaining 5 million people each.
We have to make 1800 to 2000 of those for the earth population.
Ideally they should be built as they were mountains, or replacing existing mountains chain.Jan 28 2013: I would think the first, because as people do their own farming, I'd think they become more tuned into and protective of nature.
Jan 29 2013: There is simply not enough land available for everyone to own a piece of land.
And yet who will be the lucky ones to live in the middle of the Sahara or in Antarctica, food wouldn't grow everywhere.Jan 28 2013: I for one would like to know the definition of "invalid happiness."
The studies the TED Lover provided explain the essence of my point exactly. We don't "fix" humankind by making our energy greener and more environmentaly friendly but ONLY in small concentration cities. It needs to be wide spread. Otherwise, we will have a massive re-play of that studie done with monkeys near Japan. Take a population, spread it thin but not TOO thin and teach them how to harness energy in a greener fasion, and we will see a tremendous decrease in polution and crime. Why does it seem to me that a lot of the speakers in the videos shown here speak praises of green sustainable cities, yet leave the true stewards, the farmers, fall by the way side? Let us speak praises of those small farming communities out there who have harnessed green power.
Experience, creative thinking, intelligence, all leading to instinct is what taught many of our ancesters how to collect seeds and plant them in a fasion which would yield fruit at an acceptable, if not optimal rate. We evolved and became better at it and on larger scales. BUT. like all things, there is a deffinitive line that draws the end to the good. On the other side of that line is where we "think" we are advancing because this luxurious hybrid gets THIS many miles to the gallon, or this phone has THIS many apps, so we must be evovling. There is such a thing as detrimental evolution, where as we advance ourselves far to much for the world we live in. And cities, green or otherwise, cultivate this maner of thinking...
As humans, who happen to be the most intelligent creatures on earth, one would think that we would keep in tune with our roots and continue to find better and better ways to be self-sufficient by way of sustainment, like our ancestors, not co-dependent on governement and technology like our youth are today. The more we depend on external forces and not individual ingenuity to survive, the more devolved we will become.

I personally love the scent of Gucci Pour Homme II. The tea notes in this fragrance is very calming. I would say that this is a safe scent but at the same time very different from any fragrances out there. One of my all time favourite designer fragrances.

Buoyed by the perceived shift of the national mood, gun control advocates brought their demands to a fever pitch this week. But pushback from gun rights proponents also ramped up as the National Rifle Association, unusually subdued for the last few weeks, found its voice again.
"I want to make it clear that we are not going to get caught up in the notion (that) unless we can do everything we're going to do nothing," Vice President Joe Biden said of the mission of his gun violence task force. "It's critically important (that) we act."
"We are disappointed with how little this meeting had to do with keeping our children safe and how much it had to do with an agenda to attack the Second Amendment," the NRA said in a statement after meeting with that task force.
A consensus seemed to be emerging that if Congress can get anything done, it will be a ban on high-capacity magazines and a tightening of background check requirements. There was a lot of talk about an assault weapons ban, but also growing doubt one could pass. There was one of those for 10 years – basically through the '90s – and it had little effect on gun violence. Then, as now, there was confusion on what exactly an "assault" weapon is and which should and should not be covered by a ban.
Hinting that President Obama might not be happy about the prospects of congressional action, Biden said his boss might well just go around Congress with an executive order. It wasn't exactly clear what the president could do without Congress, though. Ban the importation of certain weapons perhaps.
It was generally agreed that whatever is done will be mostly without effect. There are currently about 300 million guns in America, and no matter what is done about future weapons, the existing stockpile isn't going anywhere.

Soundgarden was one of the seminal bands in the creation of grunge, a style of alternative rock that developed in Seattle, and was one of a number of grunge bands signed to the record label Sub Pop. Soundgarden was the first grunge band to sign to a major label (A&M Records, in 1988), though the band did not achieve commercial success until they popularized the genre in the early 1990s with Seattle contemporaries Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Pearl Jam. Soundgarden achieved its biggest success with the 1994 album Superunknown, which debuted at number one on the Billboard charts and yielded the Grammy Award-winning singles "Black Hole Sun" and "Spoonman". Soundgarden will release their new album King Animal on November 13th.

CUMBERLAND - The Town Council will hold a special meeting Monday to discuss the town's legislative agenda, which will include hot button issues such as acceleration of the school funding formula phase-in, vehicle excise tax, and state housing aid.
The meeting gets underway at 7:30 p.m. in the Cumberland Public Library's Hayden Center meeting room, 1464 Diamond Hill Road.
Each year, the council develops an agenda that both supports and opposes legislation based on whether or not the bills help the town achieve its goals or detracts from those objectives.
Topping this year's legislative agenda is the council's support of legislation to accelerate the release of millions of dollars in state school funding. Cumberland has joined a growing list of cities and towns, including North Smithfield, that have approved resolutions urging faster allocation of the phase-in of state school funds.
The resolution, drafted and endorsed by the Rhode Island Coalition of Municipal Leaders, is making the rounds throughout the state in an attempt to garner support from town and city councils.
Until recently, Rhode Island was the only state in the nation without a fair funding formula for education. After enduring years of criticism from political leaders and educators, the General Assembly passed a formula during the last session, but some school districts says it doesn't go far enough to guarantee that state aid will be distributed equitably among urban and suburban school districts.
The resolution approved by the Cumberland council last month calls for the acceleration of funding to begin in the fiscal 2011 budget with $32.9 million of federal education funds former Gov. Donald Carcieri proposed to use to plug a hole in the fiscal 2011 state budget.
The $32.9 million would be distributed directly to the municipalities that have been identified in the 2010 state school funding formula as being under-funded, which also includes Woonsocket, Pawtucket and Lincoln. According to the wording of the resolution, the distribution of money would be based on the communities' percentage of the total state funding shortfall in the fiscal 2011 state budget.
In Cumberland's case, the cash distribution would be approximately $1.89 million, which would be used by the town for property tax relief.
In explaining the resolution to his town council last month, Mayor Daniel J. McKee, said the town of Cumberland is being underfunded by $4,784,447 in the current state fiscal 2011 budget. He said the proposed phase-in for the new Rhode Island school funding formula will cost taxpayers in Cumberland $12,247,900 over the next three years and $19 million in the next seven years.
The proposed phase-in, he said, will cost Cumberland and every other underfunded city and town in the state a total of $215,668,288 over the next three years and $333,139,246 over the next seven years.
Communities like Cumberland, with populations totaling 796,992, have been over-taxed as a result of being underfunded for years in state aid education, McKee said.

Marion County, then called Champoick, was created in 1843 by the Provisional Government Legislative Committee 16 years before Oregon gained statehood on February 14, 1859. In 1849 the name was changed to Marion honoring American Revolutionary General Francis Marion.
The county is located in the heart of the Willamette Valley, and the Willamette River was established as its western boundary in 1856. Salem, the county seat and the state capital, is one of the valley's oldest cities. Among its public buildings are the Courthouse, Courthouse Square, State Capitol, Capitol Mall buildings and Salem Civic Center. The county was presided over by the Marion County Court until January 1, 1963, when the court was abolished and replaced by a Board of Commissioners.
There are 20 incorporated cities and 37 unincorporated communities in Marion County. As reported by the 2010 Census, the total population of Marion County was 315,900.

Awesome! Thanks for the recipe, it was great. The only thing I did different was use hamburger buns (because I had them) - I did everything just as the recipe called for, but toasted the buns with the sauce and cheese in the oven for about 5 minutes. Everyone raved about them!
We did not care for these. I think the chili powder was way too overwhelming. I followed the recipe to a T.
58 Ratings
If you like spicy, this is for you! I loved this! Made exactly as directed, only adding a tad of garlic and they were wonderful. The next time I make these I will add a slice of onion and maybe a tomato. Thanks for the delicious recipe Mrs. Martin!
These are a good burger. Very spicy, I made mine on Texas Toast; and I also took the advice of another reveiwer and put some fryed onions on them. Next time I might calm down on the chili spice. That tasted a little to powdery. But I will be making these again. Thanks for the recipe.
I was looking for something different for dinner and I noticed this recipe. It sounded very good and was. My husband who is a very picky eater even said they were very good and a nice change of pace. I followed the recipe exactly except for frying the sandwiches in the left over beef grease, I buttered the bread and cooked them like grilled cheese to cut down on calories and they turned out great. Thanks for the posting.
I made the hamburgers for this recipe exactly as stated and we can't put our finger on it, but we felt there was something that was a little too overpowering in the flavor of the meat. We like hot, so it wasn't the heat, it was a spice, just can't figure it out. I did use tortilla's instead of white bread and heated them until crispy. The melted jack cheese and mayo combo was yummy! The concept is awesome, so I'll be playing around with different seasonings on this one to make it fit perfectly for my family's tastes. I'm thinking some sauted onion would be a good addition. Thanks for sharing.
I could not find any chipotle adobe sauce in our small town. I used Taco Bell chipotle dressing I had on hand. I also added some onion,crushed red peppers and cayenne pepper for our liking. My hamburger fell apart so it was a loose meat sandwhich. Over all I loved the flavor and seasoning. I don't think this would be a kid friendly meal for those who might want to know.
The burger part of these is definitely five-star and I'm basing my review on that, not my changes. I didn't measure the beer, so probably used a bit more than 1/2 an ounce. They were spicy without being ridiculous and left a nice tingle in my mouth. I didn't add quite as much pepper to the mayo, but it was great. I changed everything else, but it was all super great. I used American cheese because I like the way it melts...I grilled the burgers and used sandwich thins instead of bread. Can't wait to eat the one we had leftover!
