Prof. Yosef Garfinkel, Ygael Yadin chair in archaeology of Israel
Hebrew University of Jerusalem
For thousands of years the image of King David has attracted the attention of millions of people. From an archaeological point of view, however, no clear finds from his period have been found in Jerusalem, or elsewhere in Judah. Thus, during the early 1980's, radical theories were developed (by so-called "Minimalists"), arguing that David, or his son, Solomon, are fictitious figures who never really existed.
Since 2007, this situation had been completely altered thanks to the excavations at Khirbet Qeiyafa, 20 miles southeast of Jerusalem, in the valley of Elah on the border between Judah and Philistia. Our expedition uncovered a heavily fortified city, with two gates, two gate piazzas, houses, a central "palace" at the highest point of the site and three shrines. This is the first time that archaeological finds support the biblical tradition concerning King David and his period.
Of special interest are the three shrines with rich cultic paraphernalia indicating how cult and politics were used to strengthen the new kingdom.

Step 1: The pattern
As you can tell, this pair is for my friend Justine!
Step 2: Cutting out the pattern pieces
You will need:
~an old woolen blanket, mine was found at the thrift store for around $5
~some warm recycled, i have used fleece also found at the thrift store
~ a scrap of colourful fabric big enough to make bias binding
From the woolen blanket cut 1 sole piece and 1 of each side piece.
From the fleece cut one sole piece.
Step 4: Slipper top
Step 5: Slipper heel
Step 6: Sewing the slipper together
Step 7: Turn
Step 8: Cutting the bias binding
Step 9: Fold your bias binding
Step 10: Attaching the bias binding-step 1
Step 11: Attaching the bias binding-step 2
Now make the other slipper in the same way but reversing the pattern.
I look forward to the pattern. Great job. I am all for recycling/
Super cute! I fond lots of patterns by image searching (DIY slipper patterns) I'm going to make some soon. Thanks =)
so cool i want to make these now
But then you wouldn't get the funky seam down the front of the slipper for that great medieval look!
I've just published an instructable about how to turn an old wool jumper into slippers which you might find interesting. (not quite as stylish as yours though!).
Great Instructable. Easy and fun! Very cool.
I'll make myself a pair to wear inside my fire boots in winter to keep my feet toasty! (we already wear what we call a "bama" slipper inside the boot, but they are not warm enough on a cold winter night.
Real wool + a nomex liner inside should be super comfy!
PS: this is a "bama": http://www.latulippe.com/client/produits/medium/10862.jpg

Lace Panel Ponte Dress: Comfortable ponte knit and feminine lace combine to create a slimming design! Pretty lace panels create a flattering shape while the solid black sides and inset waist slenderize. A lovely dress for work or special occasions.
NOTE: This dress has 11" long, elbow-length sleeves, which are shorter than pictured.

Rating: 2.00 out of 1 votes cast
Runs small and short
This is the first dress I have tried with Chadwicks S,M,L,XL sizing. I like the style and hoped it would be slimming and flattering. I am a size 18, but this XL is very fitted and very short on me (mid-thigh length), thus unflattering, and the white lace pattern has two large flowers that happen to hit right on my chest. I will have to return this one.

Pronounced: or-kee-o-pecks-ee
Deanna M. Neff, MPH
Sometimes baby boys are born with one or both testicles inside the abdomen or groin, rather than in the scrotum. This is called
undescended testicles. Orchiopexy is a surgery to lower the testicles into the scrotum. The scrotum is the external sac that holds the testicles.
© 2009 Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The procedure is used to treat undescended testicles that do not move down on their own.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your child's doctor will review potential problems, like:
Your child's doctor and anesthesiologist will do the following:
Talk to the doctor about your child's medications or any recent illnesses. You may be asked to have your child stop or start certain medications before surgery.
Other things to keep in mind before the procedure include:
General anesthesia
will be used. Your child will be asleep during the surgery. He will not feel any pain.
After your child is asleep, the doctor will make a small incision in one or both sides of the groin. The testicle is located and examined. If there is a
present, the doctor will also repair this.
Next, the doctor will create a pouch in the scrotum. The testicle will be pulled down into this new pouch. Stitches will hold the testicles in place. The stitches will dissolve on their own. All other incisions will be closed with stitches.
In some cases, a small button will be placed on the outside of the scrotum and secured with a suture. This will hold the testicle down until healing occurs. The button will be removed by cutting the suture a few weeks after the procedure.
In most cases, your child can go home on the same day as the surgery.
One hour per testicle
Anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. Your child will be given medication to relieve pain or soreness during recovery.
During your child's stay, the care center staff will also take steps to reduce the chance of infection, such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your child's chance of infection, such as:
When your child returns home, you may need to do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
Call your child's doctor if any of these occur:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Reigate 4 Player Croquet Set
Croquet set with attractive storage stand is great for players of all levels.
An excellent full-size handmade croquet set fitted on a stunning, highly practical stand.
Inspired by the famous Reigate Croquet Club, one of Surrey's most respected clubs. Contains everything needed for a game of croquet, for players of all levels and experience. Reigate Croquet Club, reopened following the end of World War II, has grown in stature since, and is now one of Surrey's most respected clubs. The club's popularity inspired this fine handmade croquet set, presented on a polished wooden stand similar to one made by Jaques in Edwardian times. Keep it on display in your entrance hall, instead of an umbrella stand, and you will attract many admirers!
The set comes with 4 full size, polished and handmade hardwood mallets with a set of 4 color full size Challenge balls. This is ideal for family play, whether a serious competition game or the shorter golf croquet version. Included are a set of lovely heavy duty paint-baked hoops, a painted winning post indicating order of play, a set of hoop clips, and the Jaques' Croquet Rulebook.
Size: 40" x 22" x 10.5"

Comments On May 16, 2015:I've held two sets of size 8 MX boots, 2 sets of medium size armor, pants, etc. and one MX helmet with ease. I love the wheels on it. I have don't use it very often but it's perfect for my use. I'd rate it 5 stars but I don't think it would hold up if it was my primary storage for gear.

Comments On Nov 03, 2014:Good bag for the price. I like the 3 separate compartments and internal pockets for keys and wallet. The bag would be best suited for the person who has a full gear set such as chest protection, boots, neck brace, helmet, knee and elbow guards, kidney belt, helmet and clothing. Without this full compliment of gear the bag is really lofty and has a lot of unused space. Great bag.

I have a hole in the wall of my shower about 4 inches in diameter. I think there is fiberglass underneath. What is the best way to fix the wall and what kind of paint could I use to make it blend in with the rest of the tub?

You can actually repair it. Generally make it dry. Sand down the surface around the effected areas. If there is an actual hole try using plywood to fill the hole. Apply fibreglass (you can buy strips of it) and coat each piece entirely in epoxy resin. Let it cure and repeat until there is a correct thickness. You can then sand that down as well to make it smooth and flush with the rest of the structure. You can paint it over with an epoxy based paint that will stick and not peel.

if you only had one more day to live, with an unlimited budget, what would you do?
What are the top most priorities in people's lives if they have just one day to live? This opens up some very interesting possibilities and gleans into the human psychology. In today's highly networked and globally connected world, I wonder what the answers would be from people of different countries, cultures and diversities. I don't want to say what kind of answers I want and pollute the conversation. Just answer this question and encourage others to do the same.
Feb 16 2013: Unlimited budget?
Set up organizations to facilitate ALL people in our world having clean drinking water, food, and shelter.

I would set up the building and provision of good quality schools and higher education throughout Africa, India, and all the developing or proverty stricken areas. I would set up subsidies and multiple scholarships.
I would instigate the design and execution of 'Small Cities' all over the world that were environmently sound, and beautiful.
I would finance all 'ethical banks' (as they are known here) - with micro loans and promotion of local and socially helpful initiatives, and expand or clone this banking sector. I would promote local self-reliance and stable communities at every turn.
I would Discourage travel and transport expansion, but focus development for instance on rural branch lines, and seek to reduce noise and air pollution.
I would dismantle the NHS asap, and set up a system similar perhaps to France etc, to put the patient back in control of their care. I would retrain all nurses and care assistants with the priority for empathy, psychology and emotional intelligence - and improve their working conditions.
I would set up or build Care Villages for the elderly...everywhere.
I would finance many good, smaller charities that are already set up and running with good ideas.
I would finance lots of TED people with their great ideas-worth-sharing...
I would start a campaign to grow roses in every front garden in every house or building in every city all over the world. The Rose would be a symbol of Rosa Mundi....what we all have in common, not our differences.
Well, that's for starters. I'll continue with what's left of my Day......
Feb 15 2013: Great thoughts. Well... would you consider starting your tasks in a small way and make it into a passion?
Feb 15 2013: I have always been passionate about my ideas...from one year old, my mother said!
I will be spreading my idea of the Rose soon...Feb 15 2013: I find it impossible to answer the question without incriminating myself.Feb 16 2013: Just take a nice long walk along the beach with my dog and remember all the wonderful things that have happened in my life. I am being very honest in my ans. The unlimited budget could buy what I have experienced in my life nor add to it.Feb 15 2013: Loved you answer.Feb 15 2013: Maybe I shouldn't tell you Good answer Peter.

I think invalid happiness causes all kinds of evil (greed, inequality, wars. environment crisis, .... human self-extinction).
It prevents keeping our DNA alive ---- the goal of life.
Sorry,I wrongly deleted my original comment of

Tune into an Internet radio station, or plug in a portable CD player or other device. Outstanding sound The Consolette features two specially developed full-range speakers that create a 180-degree soundfield. Together, they deliver a spacious, naturally-sounding stereo image. Two 4" woofers provide rich, defined lows, giving your music fullness. Six 25-watt amplifiers power the speaker system, ensuring clean, clear sound from top to bottom.

Good price on sale not worth MSRP. Pros: Solid Build. Looks Great. Nice and heavy which means good sound quality. Connects to the internet with hardwire and is always ready to play songs. Cons: Much to many problems trying to connect to the WI FI going wireless was forced to connect directly hardwire to work. Was this review helpful? Yes No Amazing quality Written By Admiral, San Francisco, CA on Friday, June 13, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this for my bedroom and this player has a lot of features and an exceptional quality over Bose. If you're thinking about Bose, as a previous user, you should spend a little more and get Marantz instead. Its so much worth it and plays a very clear sound even at high levels. I was a little disappointed to see older iPhone pins instead of newer ones but I use airplay so I didnt matter to me. Pros: Sound quality, looks Cons: Old iphone wire connection is disappointing 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Nice sound Written By Fred W, San Diego, Ca. on Monday, June 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It's really heavy but to me it means that's it's well built. Setup is tedious and time consuming. It's worth it though. The sound is wonderful. Easy to control from my iphone. Pros: Sound and looks are great. The speakers are high quality. Listening to it is enjoyable. Cons: Setup requires following the directions carefully on your iphone once you download the app. But it's not to bad. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Beautiful portable sound Pros: Can connect to any Bluetooth devise Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent product. Written By rubs, Toa Baja, PR on Saturday, May 17, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent product. Especially when they had it on sale when I bought my Marantz receiver. Pros: Wireless connection. Clarity. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Wifi speaker/radio Written By Rut T., Livermore, CA on Thursday, May 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Marantz Consolette produces good quality sound. Makes a great Wifi speakers for iPad/iPod where the kids or anyone visiting can access and play music. With both iPhone and Android Apps available, almost any device can control the Consolette. The gloss wood back and solid aluminum panel makes it look and feel audiophile quality. Make sure to upgrade to the latest firmware using the RJ-45 Ethernet cable first. The upgrade instruction is a bit confusing and if the firmware upgrade did not complete successfully, it will causes unstable and intermittent connection with the iPad/iPhone. Recommend to wait till late at night and perform the firmware upgrade. Make sure to monitor the display to be sure all the modules downloads completely to the Consolette and the unit reboots by itself. After a successful firmware upgrade, the unit worked almost flawlessly. I run mine with RJ-45 Ethernet cable only so can not comment on the Wifi connectivity. I don't trust WPA mode. Pros: High quality look and feel. Sounds pretty good. Convenient control via the supplied classic IR remote or iOS or Android devices. Ability to listen to any Internet station including Europe, Asia etc. With Android app, the present can be re-named. Front panel brightness level can be dim via the Apps. Cons: After a few weeks of being plugged in...the unit can lockup and may need to be re-booted. This is intermittent so its not consistent. Upgrade instructions needs to be refined a bit. Wifi limited to WPS mode. Would prefer to have WPA2 with passphrase. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Marantz Consolette Written By Brian B, Minneapolis, MN on Tuesday, April 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The construction and finish of the unit are exceptional. The sound quality is very good, but could use a bit more on the low end. The quick setup guide walks you through the wireless network connection very easily. The Airplay feature is no longer active after the unit enters standby mode (like my Denon reciever) and requires you to turn on the machine and then wait as it goes through an automated 4 step network connection process before it is recognized and ready for use. It is a minor annoyance, but it takes at least a minute from turning the unit on until it is ready to play music via Airplay. The unit is definitely not worth the $1200 msrp, but it is worth the sale price. Pros: Construction, and sound quality Cons: Connection speed and the need to reconnect to Airplay prior to each use. 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Marantz Consolette Written By wagzier, Oregon on Saturday, February 22, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a beautiful piece of entertainment equipment although it seems they placed more attention on the rear of the unit than the front but still very eye pleasing sound quality is great that being said it was very difficult to set up but once you complete the process it proves to be well worth the effort Pros: Attractive unit with great sound Cons: A nightmare to setup 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Can't be free Written By Billy H, Malibu on Thursday, January 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Got this free when I bought Marantz 7701. Gotta love Crutchfield. Being free I wasn't expecting much, but wow this is a beautiful piece. It sounds great and looks very good. Pros: Beautiful looks and sound Cons: Wifi drops out sometimes. I hooked it up to Ethernet and it's works perfect. Was this review helpful? Yes No Large but excellent dock Written By Dan, New Haven, CT on Thursday, January 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I received this free with an order of other Marantz equipment, and it promptly replaced my Bluetooth-based Bose SoundDock 10 in my home office. The Marantz is better looking, made from higher quality materials, and with AirPlay and its own iPhone app it works better with my Apple equipment. Both seem to be approximately equally powerful, but the Marantz is more neutral sounding whereas the SoundDock has the typical Bose sound of accentuated highs and lows. The remote is actually more stylish and beefy than the one that came with the high-end Marantz AV processor that the Consolette accompanied. The only disadvantages to the Marantz are that it takes up a fair amount of table space and it has an old 30-pin Apple connector rather than the new Lightning interface--but I use AirPlay all the time anyway. Also, this is really nitpicking, but I can't find a way to keep the useful digital clock displayed when the unit is off. Overall, a nice high-end sound dock and well worth what I paid for it. Pros: Excellent sound, nicely built with a hefty remote, supports AirPlay as well as physical docking and line in. Cons: Old 30-pin style Apple dock. Takes up a lot of tabletop space. Only displays time when unit is on. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No The Sound of Music Written By Mike P, Ny ny on Wednesday, December 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I can not say enough about the incredible sound coming out of such a compact system. The best sounding and looking air play player out there bar none. Pros: Sleek look, great sound, marantz app works great. Cons: Took a while to set up ( over 2 hrs just to link to verizon fios) 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Marantz Consolette Written By Tracy McLane, Keedysville, MD on Tuesday, December 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Use with Apple Air Play is a great way to network to these high quality speakers...great solution for the high tech home! Was this review helpful? Yes No Beauty and the Beast Written By plwyman, Davis, CA on Monday, December 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First just let me say this unit is drop dead gorgeous. It also sounds better than expected. It fills a moderately-sized room with full balanced sound. All the hype is true. Since I don't own an iOS device, however, I'm using the RCA inputs to connect my Logitech Touch. This accomplishes most of the streaming functions as a work around. It was fine by me. I then purchased a second Consolette for a relative. She has an iPhone. She says it sounds great playing her music and streaming through her 5S phone. But like me, she can't seem to connect. Here's the rub. It took me 24 hours to upgrade the firmware and get this unit to actually play. I'm old but pretty tech savy so this had me pulling my hair out. My niece has spent over a week trying to connect her router and iPhone with the app. No luck. She's followed the CD ROM instructions. She's factory reset the unit numerous times. It's all still a mystery even with three generations at work. So, as a boombox or docking station this unit is simply amazing. Some users have even figured out how to get it to stream. I wish they would blog their caveats, however, since there seems to be a missing step in the manual or an instruction that's easily misinterpreted. I'm sure there's a key to unlocking the potential of the design. We just haven't found it yet. Even so, some report the app as being less-than-stellar once they do connect. Three stars for function. Five for sound and looks. Four, overall. Pros: Great sound, amazing design. It's mid-century modern with 21st century technology. Cons: Can't seem to connect. They say this is a versatile unit for linking to iOS devices, Android, or a PC. No success for us with any of these, however. Requires adapter for newer iPhones and tablets. 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Marantz consolette Written By Anonymous, Pensacola beach, FL. on Sunday, November 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) excellent range the quality is second to none. price is on the high end as compared to similar products. Pros: Crisp clean sound at both high and lower volume. Attractive and compact. Respectable warranty length. Great Crutchfield reps available to answer any questions. Cons: Takes some time to learn the set up given there is minimal instructions included. Requires a adapter to play ipod nano which is a pain. 1 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sound , design and build quality. Written By Oscar, FL on Thursday, September 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Consolette has a very good sound and effective combination of shapes and materials. Admire voice clarity and detail, bass, sounds smooth and deep. But sophisticated music, regardless of genre, do not sound so pure and controlled as it should be . Consolette plays loud and much more efficiently fills a large room than its closest competitors . Additional features are DLNA to play songs over the network and Internet radio that allows you to listen to a huge number of FM radio stations from around the world. Customize Consolette with the application is not very easy. Covers displayed in extremely poor quality , and there is no convenient search functions and favorite lists. The software needs to be fixed . Additional features not fully implemented - in particular , music, high-definition broadcast on the network will not work , in addition, DLNA support allows users to devices running Android send a saved music from your phone to Consolette, but does not allow the application to broadcast the tracks. Can not see the folders on the USB- connected storage device. Overall, very pleased with this purchase. Pros: Clean and detailed sound , many features in addition to AirPlay. Cons: Not very easy to set up. Inconvenient phone application. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Very impressive Written By Abuzer, St. Louis, MO on Monday, September 02, 2013 Here is my experience with the Consolette after two days of ownership: I put it in our home office where our wireless router is located so AirPlay is working without losing a beat. The free Marantz App is good enough. It could react a little faster and the Internet Radio does not keep your recent radio stations apart from the 6 presets. The sound quality is very impressive. It can get very loud with little, if any, distortion. I also tried Sonos Play 5 and B&W Zeppelin Air before purchasing the Consolette. The Consolette definitely looks/sounds/functions better than the other two. I have not tried B&W A7, which I think more comparable to Consolette. With the current price of $600, the Consolette is like a bargain compared to $800 A7. In summary, I do not think Consolette is worth the original MSRP of $1,200, but it is a great unit for $600. Pros: Great sound Better looking than the competition No problems with AirPlay Cons: It took sometime to connect it to my network wirelessly. I ended up using Ethernet cable to complete set up. 16 out of 17 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Cheaper models aren't worse Written By utekai, Chicago, IL on Sunday, June 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Got this with the Denon Cocoon and B&W A7. Kept only the A7. The consolette is well built, was easy to setup and use and looks great. The back looks much classier than the front, perhaps a classic mistake. Sitting in the middle of the room on a table it may look ok, but generally you look at the front but paid for the back ... the mistake. Compared to the Cocoon, the two are very equal. One is Denon and one Marantz but it must be the same company designing, building and packaging these two. The Denon has a louder base. The Consolette sounds great. The two suffer from being high on specs but low on musicality. What do I mean be musicality? The ability to listen for long periods of time and not want to just turn it off or turn it down. The A7 has great musicality. Once you listen to it alongside the consolette and cocoon, you want to turn off the consolette and cocoon. Though the At has it's own brought frustrations due to poor setup instructions. Pros: Looks nice. Has great specs. Well built. Sounds great. Cons: Lacks an overall musicality. Yes, it's playing back the music, but somehow not in a pleasing way. It may be playing back the music very accurately, but somehow must not in a way pleasing to the ear. After a while, just wanted to turn it off or turn it down. The best looking part is the back, which generally is hidden, what a fantastically well-built MISTAKE in marketing play. Look at the brochure, you will see the back is the best looking part. 5 out of 26 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Pure Perfection Written By LawrenceW, Jersey City, NJ on Sunday, March 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I fell in love with the Consolette the momemt I saw it on the Crutchfield Website but I was a bit timid because of the price. After several internal conversations I decided to go for it. I am glad I did. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing but the sound quality is very impressive. This is an audiophiles dream. I love it so much that I purchase the white and the black. I had a New Year's Eve party and my friends could not believe the sound that was coming out of the Consolette. I was able to use the AirPlay to access music on my iPhone as well as access my wireless network via the builtin Wi-Fi connection. Because of its sleek design, I have it displayed like a work of art. I love the fact that the docking station retracts for a seamless look. However, don't let the museum quality design let you think that the Consolette is just another pretty sound dock. I can go from listening to classical vocals to jazz instrumental without losing any of the nuance. It picks up the highs and lows without sacrificing the sweetness in the middle. Perfect for any room in the house. Pros: Impressive sound quality Great design Retractable docking station AirPlay Ethernet/Wi-fi Cons: The price is a bit of a sticker shock but I would not let that stop me from purchasing the Consolette. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

ETSU Women's Tennis Announces First Annual Golf Etc. Combo Doubles Tournament
Tuesday, October 28, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (October 28, 2003) - The East Tennessee State University women's tennis team will hold the first annual Golf Etc. Combo Doubles Tournament from November 7-9. The Golf Etc. Combo Doubles Tournament offers four levels of competition (6.5, 7.5, 8.5, and open) and three divisions (women, men, and mixed).

"I hope that this is the first of many tournaments to come," commented head coach Steve Brooks, who also serves as the tournament's director.

GET OFF THE GRID!!! well, O.k. just one day out of seven. No cars or busses. No work or stress. You can hear the birds...
More sleep, more fun, more family... Tens of thousands of years mankind survived, strived and succeeded in propagating the species without the technologies we now possess. Technologies that we have become quite adapted to and even reliant upon for most, if not all of our daily activities. Can we manage to enjoy our lives, our very existence without leaning on this technology, for a minute? for an hour? for a day? Are we doomed to be hooked on external power sources and technology or can we or are we even capable to imagine one day in seven without it? What do you think? Could you? Would you?
Aug 28 2013: "That's wonderful John but not the point I wish to make. After all the reduction in power and energy dependence and the fantastic effect on our surroundings, there remains our perceived "need" for all of the technology to thrive."
Yes Mark, I agree and I see in my remark where the confusion was introduced. I have corrected that statement.
I don't see any reason why we cannot maintain our technological creations. There is ample energy available for us to continue to use and create more, technology. The home I'm buying was built by an engineer who's intentions were to get off the grid. It is a large home, over 3000 sq. feet with a two car garage. The highest energy bill he had was $119.00 with an average of $87.00. He incorporated a state of the art, instant hot water system, 5 zone air conditioning system and indoor private well. This home was built with three acres of garden land for under $200,000.00. His garden plots were laid out to fetch complete light in all seasons. Such a design only need planning and understanding of Energy consumption. He had solar panel system that provide all the light and electrical energy for home lighting, entertainment, and landscaping lights. Any home can be redone in this manner for under $30,000.00.
He liked his toys. :) I also like my toys.
My ultimate desire is that humanity would create a type I civilization which would offer unlimited, clean, energy for all individuals. It would be so cheap it wouldn't be worth paying for the service of billing people. It is doable.
Before we can create such a Civilization, we must want it more than anything else in life.
Mike Colera
Sep 4 2013: A number of years ago, good friend retired at a young age and went to live in a 350 year old home his wife inherited in Alsace area of France. I went to visit. They keep the house in the original condition with a wood cook stove in the kitchen, a hand pump for water in the sink, the fireplace that heated the house. The house was as off the grid as one could get. He talked about getting solar panels to charge a battery system for his radio, which is currently battery operated. He did have a telephone. He was technology free every day of the week. He keeps 200 beehives which keeps him in candles if he stays up late. He tells me, he is better rested, has no worries or stress and lives his life with his bees, his garden and small livestock. I can't explain it, but I am envious.Aug 23 2013: to the extent that we are self sufficient we don't need the grid, or the culture which produced it. greater self sustainability for everyone who can do so is a long term solution. grow food on all available space (lawns, etc) and produce your own energy (alcohol instead of gasoline, 100% green) for starters. small communities like villages can create interdependence which is much healthier than large social structure.

Aug 27 2013: Well Robert, maybe now, after dozens of interesting replies to my "idea", I can make my point a bit clearer, with the help of your reply.
You see, you mention that, "we don't need the grid or the culture that produced it", though we are ythe culture that produced it. Seemingly everywhere where people have been exposed to "progressive technology" they fall head over heels for it and what's to follow is an overwhelming, all-encompassing change in habit and life style.
I wonder and propose my idea of "one day off the grid" as a method to try and have it all. The endless lists of things which only the modern world could have given us along side those "relics" of by-gone times which are modern lives are wanting of.
Often it is said that our physical, material world, with it's options and choioces, has created a world far beyond our "comfort zone". Physiologically, psychologically, culturally, we are still much the same, still very much like our ancestors of 20,000 years ago. maybe there is something in the quite and simplicity that we really need, maybe one day a week can balance the deficit. Maybe.
Sep 2 2013: i do not see the people as being the same as the culture, perhaps that isn't the right word though. i differentiate between individuals and society. as far as one day off the grid, i'm not sure how you could implement that. self sufficiency is an idea that would sell itself, it seems to me that much of oour current situation is the result of all of our energies and possibilities being tied in collectively to our society and so i look at it from that perspective. however if it were possible to implement the idea you suggest that would be great.

Aug 14 2013: Not a chance if you want to live like a cave man strip off your clothes and hide in a dark corner while defending yourself from nature trying to kill you in every way. Plus even back in the older days they still had technology? they had tons! of it the first human to pick up a stick and hit another with it made the first technology. And the real question is why would you want to live without technology? if you did you would be dead by 30 and you entire life would be a constant battle for food.

Aug 14 2013: I can and do, which is a pompous way for me to start my reply but it's true. I enjoy those unplugged hours, those disconnected days. There is a certain kind of peace and quiet that can only be found when you have absolutely no idea what day of the week it is, let alone the time of day.
- +1
I highly encourage people to investigate the severity of their addiction to technology. There are 'blue zones,' places on earth where people's level of happiness is highest, that have no or very little technology. If people can't do a whole day, morning, noon and night, than I suggest they spread those 24 hours over the 168 hours of the week. At least three hours a day should be manageable.
I think more people would if they saw what a huge benefit it would be both for themselves and for the world.Sep 12 2013: I have no car, no gas, no license, no insurance, no TV, no cable, no DVD, no stove, no oven, no microwave.
I do have a computer, internet, fan, a/c-heater, refrigerator, hot water, 5 stage filtered water.
Getting off the grid is a priority in my life but I am not there yet.
I was raised on a farm so I already know what is needed and have the experience.
I am retired, collect S.S. and live in a studio under a large tree so listening to the birds is a priority for me.Aug 28 2013: All expectations are the grid will self-destruct as new alternative energy sources increase. My reading places the date around twenty years from now. The grid will become so pricey and unmanageable that most companies and homes will have some sort of local power source. Natural Gas is also on the horizon to assist in this transference. The only reason it has not happened to date is due to the reliance of governments on the revenue produce by this energy wasting system. They continue to support it in lieu of other, greener, more efficient systems.
Aug 28 2013: Hi John, the "grid" we are discussing here isn't any one particular energy source but, rather, our dependency on all the stuff we have created and have become, of our own doing, dependent upon. Can we just take a break from it one day a week and still really enjoy being?
Aug 28 2013: The goal is towards localized power generation Mark. It's a growing phenomena. Such power sources don't need a grid.
The home I'm currently purchasing had a 2.5 kilowatt solar panel array. It's over 3,000 square feet and the highest energy bill recorded was $119.00. I'll be adding a natural gas generator to that home. With some rain storage. My goal is ti reduce my energy needs to the essential. If 150 million people did that it in the U.S. it would severely affect the profits made from a grid system.
Aug 28 2013: That's wonderful John but not the point I wish to make. After all the reduction in power and energy dependance and the fantastic effect on our surroundings, there remains our perceived "need" for all of the technology to thrive. Can we do without it for one day out of seven, that is my idea. After you have moved in to the new house, by the way, congratulations, can you imagine yourself just one day a week, reading when there is sunlight, sleeping when it is dark, listening to the sounds that come from the wind, trees, birds, grass, footsteps on the gravel path that leads to your door, crickets, are there still crickets or frogs, hey what about a brook or the laughter of kids at play or whatever.Aug 20 2013: Thanks Mark,
You hit the nail square on the head, when you say "we make the effort..." In this day and age, many people have no clue what the few of us who truly know what it takes to first realize something is pleasantly different and then to actually act on it. I, for one, clearly remember the times when my dad got everyone in the car and we would drive out into the country--just to "listen" to those sounds. I didn't appreciate those Sunday afternoon drives near as much as I have in recent years, long after the passing of my dad.
Thanks for the memories!Aug 19 2013: Decades ago, when I was a teenager and into my 20's I used to go "geocaching," only in those days I didn't have access to a GPS. Instead, it was a pure Treasure Hunt. I could lose myself (and the world), sometimes for days without ever thinking about anything else.
Then after I retired, I got modern...bought myself a hand-held GPS and went geo-caching. A lot of fun, but otherwise did much the same thing. I still continued to use my grandfathers manual compass and used my brain to figure out the written clues. I never thought of myself to be a cave man as Charles Curt suggests, although one of the very best times for me happens each and every day for nearly six hours. No traffic, no people, no trains, no sirens, just the sounds of birds outside adding a little harmony to that wonderful peaceful sounds of total dead QUIET!
Aug 20 2013: "wonderful peaceful sounds of...Quiet!" There it is John, right there in your conclusion. We all know, somehow, that there is undeniably, something very real and good going on when all the stuff we have created (very good stuff as well) is on hold for a bit.
Look, we say the "sounds of quiet" (silence?) and we aren't referring to nothingness, to vacuum. When we make the effort we are sometimes lucky enough to hear, see, feel, know, things that have accompanied the development of mankind from our earliest origins. That can't be bad if it got us this far.Aug 14 2013: Fyodor Dostoyevsky - "Man is a creature that can get used to anything, and I think that is the best definition of him."

Aug 13 2013: For many city dwellers, they have small living spaces, If you keep them inside or without a car, then they would be hopping crazy simply because they would have nothing to enjoy life or outdoor entertainment. If they plan to listen to the birds, they have to drive to some countryside and stay overnight, then that won't save any energy or resources that much either.
- 0
Unless you provide some official tour bus to transport them to the countryside or parks, then it probably will cause less stress or boring and enhance their spirit.
Aug 14 2013: City dwellers don't have to dwell on the downsides of their situation sans technology. They can go for a walk, meditate, read a book by candlelight, play an instrument at an open window, find some nature in their urban setting, even if they have to use a magnifying glass to do so (and they won't but the magnifying glass would still be fun.)
I live in a studio apartment and I have no car and I live in the city. I have no TV, no microwave, no stereo. And I'm not bouncing off the walls...Aug 13 2013: Interesting points Don. While being off the grid can and maybe should include a certain state of mind, surviving well without our technological appendages is the entire point, being able to really "do it" sans technology.
A rose by any other name...Aug 13 2013: It's a matter of keeping things in balance, for me that means some of each every day.
I have a computer desk job, but also spend time off-grad walking my dog, garden and lawn care or some other home project. I eat a balance diet with food that is healthy and tasty.
I also balance between living the past, present and future. So I stop and smell the roses (present), and speeching of roses I planted 6 rose bushes this year (future) and found ancestors that were involved in the War of the Roses. (Past)
Strange when research my ancestry I feel off grid, even though I'm not.
So I'm thinking that going off grid is more of a state of mind, then being disconnected from technology.Aug 13 2013: I think you may have mixed two themes here, Mark. I believe when people say get off the grid, they are not saying not to work or that you'll have no stress, they are saying you still have to work and may have some stress, but you can work in a simpler way where you are more directly self-sufficient. For instance you can have a little farm where you mostly raise your own food, wear simple clothing and have a simple house, maybe not have heavy farm machinery but just simple tools, not necessarily have a television or computer, maybe do things like wash clothes in a less machine-oriented way. But there is still work and probably some stress.
I would imagine myself that noone is 100% off the grid or 100% on it, that people make individual choices about places in their life where they want to live simply, and places where they are more technological. I wash a lot of clothes by hand and dry them on a clothesline, and I really enjoy that, but I sometimes use a washing machine, and that's okay, too. I don't have a car, so I walk almost everywhere, but sometimes I enjoy taking a car or bus somewhere. So life seems like a mix.
Aug 13 2013: No mix up here Greg though there is plenty of room for everyone to interpret the term and my intention, which was and still is that for one day, just one day out of seven, to "take it back a notch" and to spend that day unencumbered by as much of what we rely upon during the other six days, as we can while still enjoying it.
For some people "the grid" is about computers, for others it's about energy supply dependance and still there may be additional interpretations and they all work for me as my emphasis is on how focused we can be upon ourselves, other people and the natural world, again, just one day out of seven. Thanks for the "heads up" on the possible misunderstanding.
Aug 13 2013: Well, hope I don't seem nitpicky, technically you could get "off the grid" for one day out of seven, yet still do work and have stress during that day. Like I say, someone could live very simply in a very rural area, be "off the grid," and yet still have to work seven days a week to keep the farm going, as animals perhaps have to be fed seven days a week, cows milked seven days a week, and so on. And there could be stress.
If you're promoting a day of rest every seven days, something like the Jewish Sabbath, I tend to doubt our physiology really wants to go 24 hours straight without activity, it seems like something in our body wants to be somewhat active at least at times every day. I tried the Jewish Sabbath for a while, I'm not Jewish but have many Jewish friends, but I think 24 hours straight of rest gets funny enough kind of tiresome. I prefer to just rest here and there throughout the seven-day week, couple of hours here, couple of hours there, it feels more natural.
I think it might get tiresome to go off the grid completely one day a week, like sticking to a rigid rule that you can't use any technology for 24 hours. I think it's more interesting to design a life that uses the grid where you want to, when you want to, and doesn't use it in situations where you don't want it, when you don't want it. Often during a week I'll just lie in bed for half an hour or an hour, no radio, no TV, just quiet, but I wouldn't want to do this for 24 hours straight.
Fritzie -
Aug 13 2013: I am guessing your Jewish friends don't interpret resting the way you may be interpreting it. For example, people use the day to read, study, and discuss ideas with other members of their community. People take walks either alone or with other families. What observant Jews do not do on their sabbath is anything that could be construed as manual labor. This includes, say, fixing stuff around the house or driving. People don't turn lights or stoves off or on but can typically leave those on timers. Reading things in your briefcase that you need to do for work would not typically be okay, but reading things you want to read and understand for your own purposes is fine.
- +1
For many people the stretch away from normal labors takes them away from the norms of the work week better than an hour here and there, but the tradition has religious rather than strictly practical origin.Aug 13 2013: Definitely not feeling the "nitpicky" and glad you expounded. O.K. I did say "no stress" :) well that is not guaranteed by, well, by anything really. "No grid" (whatever the definition) and "no stress", are not mutually inclusive as you handily pointed out. Yup, there are still chores but then, I never said we should meditate for the 24 hours either, though there are worse ways to pass the time.
Don't really want to go theological here, but I wasn't as much promoting the resting part of the day off as I was wondering if we could swing it, you know, sure milk the cows water them horses and whatever but those are easy choices because there is no choice, you have to milk the cows, right?
But can we experience pleasure, enjoyment, community, togetherness, self-worth, growth, interest...without being supported, or by being minimally supported by the technological umbilical cord that we have artificially attached ourselves to?
Its not so much about what you won't be doing as it is about what you will be doing. Talking with family, a walk, a run, preparing a meal. Yes, the things we've learned to categorize as mundane. How warped is that, huh? A walk with friends or family mundane?
Just existing a little, breathing in, breathing out. Could we do it or have we been conditioned beyond all repair, by our own hand, to disregard that which is most accessible to us, ourselves?
greg dahlen
Aug 13 2013: Yeah, I don't know if people in general want to live off the grid for blocks of time, say an hour block, a two-hour block, a 24-hour block. The only people I spend much time with besides myself are my mother and sister. My mother definitely doesn't want to go off the grid, any time of just lying in bed the TV is on, my mother says she doesn't want to think as she gets afraid of the future. My sister also rarely goes off the grid, in spare time she is playing computer video game and has TV going off to side. As I've said, I like to lie in bed here and there and just think, or exist, for an hour or two, oh, I probably do this here and there for eight or ten hours total a week, but I wouldn't want to do it all day one day a week, it's something I need here and there and when I need it I need it. My guess would be that more people are like my sister and mother. It is hard for me to understand them, personally I need some time to process what happens during the day, but I guess they don't. But I think Mark it's about doing what comes naturally, if it comes to someone naturally to take time out, great, if they naturally always want to have a device going, that's fine, too. I can't imagine you'd force anyone to go off the grid if they didn't want to, would you?Aug 13 2013: Hi Mark

Get off the Grid now and forever.
Believe me It is possible all the time with work, with duties and with cars and buses.
Remain off the Grid ,Why hop on and hop off.
Remain off the Grid all the time, why only for the week end.
Remain off the Grid with cars and buses, with work or no work.
Hear the birds and enjoy life all the time.
Aug 13 2013: Hear the birds and enjoy life all the time, sure, but no technology, ever?
Aug 13 2013: With the technology, with every thing we can still enjoy life. Its how we take our work and relationships
I will recommend you to read and practice " Karma Yoga."
Aug 13 2013: thanks AdeshAug 14 2013: The Path of Selfless Service
Karma Yoga is the path of 'action', of putting in 100 percent effort, without being attached to the outcome. Karma yoga can be applied to everything you do: from the most trivial, ordinary tasks to greater, more challenging works. When action is performed selflessly, with full focus and attention, it brings fulfillment and freedom. Acting without being attached to the fruits of one's deeds – this alone can lead to union with the Self, which is the goal of yoga.
What is known as seva or service among The Art of Living community is nothing other than Karma Yoga – it is the selfless giving of oneself through the medium of work and stems from love which finds fulfillment in pure giving without thought of self-gain or acknowledgement. Karma Yoga is closely linked to Bhakti Yoga, for without love and devotion, it would be impossible to serve others selflessly. Performing one's duties and serving humanity without any selfish motives purifies the heart and brings satisfaction.
"Thy right is to work only, but never with its fruits; let not the fruits of action be thy motive, nor let thy attachment be to inaction. As the ignorant men act from attachment to action, so should the wise act without attachment, wishing the welfare of the world."
~ The Bhagavad Gita
"When you make service your sole purpose in life, it eliminates fear, focuses your mind and gives you meaning."
~ Sri Sri Ravi ShankarAug 14 2013: Get back on the grid when you need immediate medical attention.Aug 13 2013: But there are so many variables. The best reasons I've seen from earlier comments is to get in touvh with earlier ways. But don't ignore the other problems.

Aug 13 2013: Wow Jaen, three days is quite a lot but what do you think about just one, nice, special day that you set aside? A day for you and the things that make you feel good and alive and can be gotten without, let's say your car or your t.v. Is it possible?Aug 14 2013: Maybe you would consider going without music not for three days but for three weeks so that you can realize how much your heart aches to have it as a daily part of your life and it might even provide the impetus to learn an instrument?
Otherwise, go without music and listen to wind chimes, bird songs, etc. Listen to all the sounds in the world that classical composers try so hard to re-create with musical notes. Go to the source, listen to the actual sounds themselves!

Why not "get off the grid" forever?
Then we can be happy validly forever,
as 10,000 years ago,
without self-extinction through technology also!
Aug 13 2013: Gee, not sure that people 1,000 years ago or 10,000 years ago were a whole lot happier but today, maybe we can just take one small step back, once a week?

In 10,000 years ago, people did not have today's "money'.
The money makes greed.
Greed makes all evil.
Evil makes unhappiness.Aug 12 2013: If we don't get off the grid on a regular bases we will lose touch with the natural world and our humanity.
Aug 12 2013: "off the grid on a regular basis" emphasizes nicely Raymond, our default as being "on the grid" and sure a bit more nature sounds good to meAug 12 2013: Must I also eschew any and all products of the GRID? If yes, forget it! If no, let's go camping!
Aug 12 2013: no good guys or bad guys here Edward, no directives, rules, or restrictions either, just like camping though, sometimes...should I say it, less is well, more?
Aug 12 2013: OK. So I can take "stuff" with me on this off-the-grid escapade! Laptop; smart phone; WIFI ; Kindle; generator; TV; propane appliances; port-a-potty; food; shelter; clothing; motor vehicle; video games; bluray dvd's; gps; satellite receiver; have I forgotten anything? Am I missing the point?
Aug 13 2013: Thanks for pointing out the need for a bit of clarification, "off the grid" serves me here to express life "unplugged" and basic. The camping analogy was great. "Less load, more road"

Aug 13 2013: RE: "Thanks for pointing out. . . ". Got it! And you're welcome.Your idea is a good one. Many (most) city dwellers cannot imagine life without the power grid (including those battery-powered devices which must be regularly recharged by corded connection to the power grid) for 24-hours. What a benefit is there for all to discover! Good idea sir! Certainly an idea worth sharing. Thanks.

R.Kelly's dramatic musical mini-series, "Trapped in the Closet," that enthralled viewers the first time around is back for round two. Though it seems impossible for the "Ignition (Remix)" singer to pack more sex, lies, affairs, drugs and violence into the already intense lives of his characters, he plans to do just that.

ALSA: Switch audio output to USB Headset
I recently purchased a USB headset.
Here's how to get it working with ALSA, manually and automatically.
(From ALSA ArchWiki)
Load module:
# modprobe snd_usb_audio
Verify that module is loaded:
$ lsmod | grep snd_usb_audio snd_usb_audio 93519 3 ...
Find corresponding card ID:
$ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** ... card 2: P780 [Plantronics GameCom 780], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Set card ID as default audio device in
1 2
defaults.ctl.card 2 defaults.pcm.card 2
The manual method works fine if the headset is always plugged in.
It would be better if we could automatically change the default audio device based on whether the USB headset is plugged in or not. This can be achieved by using udev rules.
Add the following to
# Set USB headset as default sound card when plugged in KERNEL=="pcmC[D0-9cp]*", ACTION=="add", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#pcmC}; K=$${K%%D*}; echo defaults.ctl.card $$K > /etc/asound.conf; echo defaults.pcm.card $$K >>/etc/asound.conf'" # Restore default sound card when USB headset unplugged KERNEL=="pcmC[D0-9cp]*", ACTION=="remove", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'echo defaults.ctl.card 0 > /etc/asound.conf; echo defaults.pcm.card 0 >>/etc/asound.conf'"
udev automatically detects changes to rules. However, you will need to unplug and replug the headset for changes to be be triggered.
Audio applications need to be restarted whenever default card changes. If anyone knows a way of switching audio devices without restarting applications (using ALSA, not Pulseaudio), please let me know.
