Wine Review: Segura Viudas Brut Reserva - $10
I am a big fan of sparking wines. I especially love champagne and more recently I have been finding myself trying a lot of Cava wines –Spanish sparking wine. I like the lightness of them and the fact that the bubbles are a little more delicate. For our tasting we were trying the Segura Viudas Cava Brut Reserva.

Gothenburg, Sweden: Artists You Should Know
Artists You Should Know: Gothenburg, Sweden
The Atlantic recently asked the question "Why Is Sweden So Good at Pop?" We've been asking ourselves that same question for a while, and apparently we're not the only ones — Pitchfork asked the same question a few years ago. For a country of 9.5 million, Swedes disproportionately put out more exceptional pop music per capita than almost anywhere else in the world. There's gotta be something in the water, or maybe it's a result of their generous public arts-funding program. If Sweden has a general knack for globally-accessible pop, the industrial port city of Gothenburg in Southwestern Sweden is a veritable mecca.
While Stockholm may be stock home for Nordic nocturnal dance music stars like Robyn and Aviicii, Gothenburg, a city of only half a million, hosts a more sophisticated alternative scene with synth poppers like Little Dragon and The Knife and twee pop songwriters like Jens Lekmen and El Perro del Mar. Whether it's the long winters that keep artists in the lab with a pen and a pad or the mysterious magical properties of the life-giving manna known as Swedish meatballs, Sweden, and especially Gothenburg is home to a vibrant music community. Let's take a closer look.
Little Dragon
This electro-pop quartet, fronted by soulful straight-talker Yukimi Nagano, has been representing Gothenburg since the release of their eponymous debut album in 2007. Since then, the band has released an additional three albums and dozens of singles. With fans in the music industry ranging from Andre 3000 to Gza and they've collaborated with Big Boi, SBTRKT, and Gothenburg neighbor Jose Gonzalez. It's been two years since their last album was released--and we're waiting patiently for the release of their forthcoming Namuba Rubberband. If you're curious at all about the album, click here to send your phone number to the band members. They'll dial you right away, play you some new music, and tell you all about the album release on May 12 in the UK and May 13 in the US. Check out their latest song "Let Go" here and watch the video for "Klapp Klapp" above.
The Knife
Cloaked Pagan wizards, The Knife, are brother-sister duo Karin Dreijer Andersson and Olof Dreijer. The band makes dark, hypnotic synth pop that refuses to conform to expectations. While that may sound like an empty threat, just one listen to Shaking The Habitual, their highly-praised, highly-challenging release from earlier this year (and their first in seven years) and the scope of their creative expansiveness becomes evident. After the addictive dynamic pop of their award-winning previous record Silent Shout, the abrasive ambience of Shaking The Habitual not only seems to shed the band of their past lives, but of society as a whole.
Jens Lekmen
We came to the Jens Lekmen game late. But as soon as we heard the orchestral ebullience of "And I Remember Every Kiss" the switch was flipped. That song, from his wonderfully eloquent Night Falls Over Kortedala—Kortedala being a hip neighborhood in G-burg—is representative of Lekmen's ability to convey universal emotions with a coy sense of humor and childlike naiveté. In other words, you have to be a grinch not to like this dude. Listen to "And I Remember Every Kiss" above.
Jose Gonzalez
Jose Gonzalez first came to international attention with his smoky, wistful folk ballads like "Crosses" and his cover of The Knife's "Heartbeats." At the time, he fit comfortably alongside other soft-spoken folk artists like Iron & Wine, and has made a similar branch away from the singer and acoustic guitar archetype to explore different, fuller musical landscapes with his more-recent releases, as well as rock with his band Junip. For proof just check out this song he wrote for the film A Secret Life of Walter Mitty, above.
El Perro del Mar
Sarah Assbring, the sole member of El Perro del Mar (a literal translation from Swedish to Spanish meaning "sea dog," which colloquially means an experienced sailor), writes sun-showery tunes about heartbreak influenced by the singing styles of Smokey Robinson or Brian Wilson, with a modern twist. She's like Jen's Lekmen's sad sister—and we mean that in a good way. With five releases under her belt, El Perro del Mar shows no sign of slowing. Her last album, released in 2012 found her moving in a darker, synthier direction, and we can only imagine what she'll share with the world for her next full length. Until then, check out her latest song, "Våroffer(Alla Vill Ha)," from the Feministiskt Initiativ's new election compilation F!
Love Is All
While most Gothenburg musicians err on the side of sweet and melancholic, Love is All deal in quirky post-punk. Yeah, there's a sax player and frontwoman Josephine Olausson sings like a little kid, but the most divisive elements of the band are also their most attractive. While the band's been quiet as of late, their track record so far has been solid, so we're looking forward to what Love is All have to offer us next.
Before Basque synth poppers Delorean brought their tropical tunes across Europe and the U.S., a handful of bands associated with the Sincerely Yours label had already laid the groundwork for what would become known as Baeleric pop. A tropical, sample-friendly, very "chill" vibe ruled the aesthetic of bands like Air France, Studio, and Tough Alliance — all hailing from Gothenburg. However, barely any of these bands are still together today, only five or so years after their music began to reach a larger international audience. ceo, nom-de-plum of Eric Bergland, one half of the late Tough Alliance, is one of the few remaining torch carriers for the Baeleric movement. But Bergland does the sub-genre justice with disco beats, found sounds, strings, and his signature sunshiny vocals.
Formerly anonymous duo jj weren't the only band to capitalize on mystery and shrouded identity in the past half decade, but the anonymity seemed to suit them better than most. Signed to a label with an already cult-like following—Sincerely Yours—jj made requisite nods to the light-hearted pop of their Swedish contemporaries, but they did it with a knowing sense of mischief, and of hip-hop, releasing mixtapes ahead of other non-hip-hop artists, and pulling choice verses from some of rap's favorite songs. Their identities are no longer a mystery, but their music is still as warm and dreamily breezy as ever.
Anna von Hausswolff
Singer/pianist/songwriter Anna von Hauswolff often draws comparisons to Kate Bush and fellow Swedish songstress Lykke Li. Her most recent release this past summer, Ceremony, showcases soaring tunes replete with pipe organs and musings on mortality. This is music fit for the chilly high-contrast Swedish landscape. Anyone who is a fan of Arcade Fire, Explosions in the Sky, or Florence + The Machine should check this lady out.
These dream poppers' band name roughly translates to "strong woman," and their music broaches upon subjects like the social implications of relationships and empowerment. Makthaverskan's punk-inflected new wave sound is less distorted than previous releases on their album put out this past Spring, simply titled II, (because it's their second album). Signed to local boutique label Luxury, this band's messy, cutesy delivery belies some serious topics and a solid tribute to the pop-punk legacy. Check out their single, "Enough," on Bandcamp.

Yes, the fellas running a weld from a basic Transformer from other countries is just that, they are not using an actual welder, instead they are using a stepdown non regulated and non grounded transformer pulled out of a scrap heap, which generally is directly tied into another unregulated power off a supply line. No breakers or saftey to speak of.
I on the other hand was talking about an actual regulated brand of AC welding machine which it would be tough to kill yourself with.

Excuse me? Did I say "kill"? No, I said "electrocute". You know there's a difference, right? People are electrocuted every day without dying. Lots of people. Shoot, people get struck by lightning and live to tell the story.
And why are we arguing about this, exactly? How is this relevant to the original question?
This is now the second time in a week that someone has taken my comment out of context and then also tried to put words in my mouth just to create some kind of an argument. You have a funny way of welcoming new members around here. So, I'm new. So what. Does that mean you have to try to keep me on the defensive every second? Over a non-issue like AC stick welding that you hardly ever see anymore and that somehow morphs into an argument about submerged arc welding? What's that all about?
AC SMAW on an inverter power source question
WOW!! One thing I do know, my Miller Bobcat has a caution symbol next to the A/C welding process selection. When Tesla invented A/C power he was criticized and told his A/C power was far more dangerous than the DC power being used at the time.

On the very first page in section 1-2 under the heading "Arc Welding Hazards" are warnings on of the dangers of selecting AC output welding current.
And I quote:
- Wear dry, hole free insulating gloves and body protection
- Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating mats big enough to prevent physical contact with the work or ground.
- Do not use AC output in damp areas, if movement is confined or if there is a danger of falling.
- Use AC output ONLY if required by the process.
(In large bold letters)
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
With symbols depicting a weldor touching the end of the electrode and electric current running through the man's body.
Sure sounds to me like Miller thinks maybe there are a few safety concerns with AC welding. They tell you to take measures to prevent contact with the work or the ground and they show you a picture of a man touching the electrode and being electrocuted but never mind any of that, Cruiser knows best and it doesn't matter anyway because we take a crap all over the new people here whether they are right or wrong.

1. to execute (a criminal) by electricity2. to kill by electric shock
Looks to me like everyone who's ever been electrocuted is deader than a doornail.
If you die, you have been electrocuted. If you don't die, you have been shocked. Helios' definition is correct. I have been shocked more than once, but fortunately never electroctued.
Yes, AC is more dangerous than DC. At 60 Hz, AC frequency is similar to the frequency of the electric pulses that control the heart, and can interfere with it. Edison, in his fight against AC would electrocute (kill) elephants in public spectacles to prove his point. Over 130 years of experience has proven that AC can be used safely, if handled properly. Miller's warnings are appropriate, and necessary for those lacking experience with AC.
Matrix, nobody is "taking a crap" on you just because you are new. The problem is you display an argumentative attitude, you are always right, and you get whiny when anyone disagrees with you.
Cruizer is a recognized, well respected expert on this board. We are lucky to have him here. Yes, he can sometimes be abrupt in his responses, but he does not "take a crap" on new guys.
Suck it up, dude. Don't be so sensitive. Recognize that people will sometimes disagree with you.

When someone takes your comment out of context and then tries to make it look like you said something you did not say so that they can create an argument ... that is not disgreeing with an opinion. That is called picking a fight. Don't think for a second that I don't know the difference.
My apology for my misuse of the word electrocute.
That apology does not change the fact that AC welding is more dangerous than DC welding and it also does not change the fact that there never should have been a debate on it in the first place because only a fool would argue that AC welding is as safe as DC welding, especially when you steer the conversation away from the original context. (SMAW vs SAW) Except for my unfortunate misuse of the word electrocute there was nothing in my comment that anyone should have taken exception to enough to start an argument over.
As for my being argumentative, well I see it another way. I see how two people in the last week have been argumentative with me first. I didn't start either fight. You can call that a difference of opinion if you like. I prefer to call it what it is.

"Topsy was fed carrots laced with 460 grams of potassium cyanide before the deadly current from a 6,600-volt AC source was sent coursing through her body, partly as a demonstration of how "unsafe" his competitor's (Nikola Tesla) alternating current design was."
Now, getting back to welding, there is a stinger and a work clamp, sometimes, erroneously called a ground clamp. One is the source, and the other is the return. Every circuit needs a source and a return. A ground is a source of zero potential. It is not necessarily a return, although it can be.
In DCEP, the stinger is the source and the work clamp is the return which is at zero potential. If you are standing barefoot in a steel bucket of salt water resting on a steel floor and grab the stinger you will probably get a shock. If, on the other hand you grab the work clamp you will not a get a shock.
Now, on an AC welder, like a transformer buzz box, the roles of the stinger and work clamp change from source to return and return and source 60 times a second. So, the work clamp as well as the stinger are both hot all the time. Now when you stand in the water you will probably get a shock if you touch either the stinger or the work clamp.
I've been a welder for two whole months now While far from being an expert still, this is the way I think it works. So, guys and gals, have at it. I'm here to learn.
Well Weldors: I do not have the numbers in front of me, but in the past, I read somewhere that it takes one heck of a lot less AC to stop your heart as it does DC. I will try and find, but I am thinking it is 1/100 or 1/1000 less.....bear with me while I research......hope this helps.....and yes, I have tried welding SMAW with AC on my 200DX, I have even pulse welded SMAW with my SynchroWave 250, but that was DCEP.....kinda kool too.....hope this helps.....Matrix, you will find some smarty pants folks here, but most are quite Humble, I joined in 03, even though it does not show it....a format change ended up giving me a later join date....Cruizer is a good guy....and yes, sometimes abrupt.....but still a good guy, Welcome to the Forum.....Hope this Helps, and I am researching that voltage info now....PaulMore Spark Today Please

Most of us want some changes to our team, wheather it be off/def/ ST. Submit your suggestions here-
Personally, I'd like to see Tannehill be allowed to be Tannehill. Roll out more often and run for some dang 1st downs! Use what got you success, roll and run. I'm sure if the coaching staff wants him to learn to be a pocket passer only, that won't be good. Dan had the ability to side step impending sacks, but we'll see.
Looking at Rodgers, he does well to get a 1st by running, or leaving the pocket to make some fast, accurate throws. Then again Brady sits in the pocket. Just seems that Tannehill is accurate and successful when he rolls.
What are your suggestions?

Monday, Aug. 18, 2014 — The Lassen County Sheriff's Office advises residents to beware of a telephone scam currently occurring in Lassen County.
The sheriff's office is receiving multiple reports of residents receiving calls from someone who identifies themselves as a sheriff's office employee. This is a scam.
The person impersonating a sheriff's office employee informs the citizens they are being fined for failing to appear for jury duty. The caller tells the citizen they need to pay the fine or go to the sheriff's office if they cannot pay.
The caller may be using a technique known as "caller ID spoofing" which allows the caller to make it appear as if the call is coming from the sheriff's office.
The sheriff's office does not call citizens to collect fines over the telephone or by any other electronic means.
If you receive such a phone call, do not provide any personal information or credit card numbers. If you receive such a call, the sheriff's office asks you to report it by calling 257-6121.
The sheriff's office asks you to tell your friends and family about this scam.

You know what they say about all work and no play. It's tough, it's draining, and after a while, your brain (and your body) start to crave a break from the daily grind. But, instead of making excuses for your busy schedule, we have a solution: Go back to school. Yes, we're being serious. Forget tests and syllabi, because we found three awesome and accessible NYC classes that are the coolest ways to work with your hands, get in shape sans boring boot camps, or learn a rad skill to impress
your friends yourself.
Naturally, we wouldn't just lead you blind. We sent in three discerning judges (a.k.a. total newbies) to test-drive the outside-the-box classes — teaching silversmithing, aerial dance, and DJing — and find out what's fun, what's addictive, and what's really going on inside NYC's most unique classrooms. We don't recommend forwarding this email to your boss — y'know, just in case you end up deciding to switch jobs.

Building Safety Guidelines

Learn about the importance of safety on building sites with these guidelines.
Learn importance tips and advice for safety on construction and building sites in Australia.
Find out about insurance required by independent contractors and companies providing building services to homes and commercial property.
Buying a home is a big deal for everyone involved. Whether you are on the receiving end of the home, or trying to sell your own home, you want to know that the home in question is functioning at the best it possibly can be. However, many Australians seem to be a bit lax when deciding on such a large investment and then end up unhappy with their purchase. Fortunately, the best way to combat buyer's remorse is easy and affordable, by ensuring that a thorough Combined Building & Pest Inspections has been conducted and both parties are satisfied with the results before continuing with any negotiations.
A building inspection (also known as a home inspection) is an analysis and detailed report on the current condition of a home or property. A few of the major things that are checked by an professional inspector include:
A pest inspection details all of the rooms of the house, both inside and out, in order to inform the homeowners if there is or has ever been an infestation of termites. Termites are crippling to the structure of any building and their effects can take place quickly, so it is extremely important to figure out if the home that is on the market is at risk. To learn more about pests and the management from Queensland Health click here.
A few facts about a general Pest Inspection include:
Of course, homeowners and prospective homeowners can choose to conduct a building inspection, and a pest inspection separately, one or the other, but homeowners are finding that it is far more convenient, in more ways than one, to combine both a building and pest inspection together in order to get the easiest and fastest peace of mind. Below is a guide based for Queensland home owners based on interviews with local inspectors like Pro Inspections Brisbane who is qualified and reputable building and pest inspection company based in Queensland. If you are located in other states or cities such as Sydney and Melbourne please consult local professionals in your area for advice specific to your state government.
With a combined building and pest inspection:
In addition to giving peace of mind, there are many other reasons why it is so important to have a combined building and pest inspection.
Having a combination building and pest inspection can:
The costs may vary slightly when buying a home in different areas of Australia, but right here in Queensland, the costs vary slightly, depending on the size of the home in question.
*NB: Please note these prices are set out as a guide only. You will need to consult with your local building inspector to get exact prices for your location.
Yet, if you choose to have a building and pest inspection completed within this area, then homeowners should only expect to pay:
Whether you are new to buying or selling your home or you are seasoned, you are always going to want to have a Combined Building & Pest Inspections done throughout the house and the grounds, in order to determine that you are receiving, or selling, everything that you hoped the house would be.…
Aside from being a legal requisite, building inspections in Australia are essential for your safety and the protection of the general public. There are various forms of building safety inspections which are often conducted annually, depending on the risks associated with the building. If you own buildings required to undergo building safety inspections, knowing more about the procedure and everything in it is very important.
Building safety inspections are usually conducted by service providers who also provide for solutions whenever the assessment finds possible risks. There are many companies offering risk assessment services across Australia but you must be very careful in choosing which company to hire. Here are some of the most common building safety inspections conducted for the safety of both the public and properties:
The Department of Fire and Emergency Services advice commercial and industrial building owners to ensure that their buildings are fire safe as provided for in the Building Code of Australia. Part of the safety requirement is the installation of fire safety equipment such as fire extinguishers and the presence of fire hydrant within accessible location. Included in the checklist for fire safety inspection are the following:
Buildings also undergo inspections for accessibility especially among individuals with disabilities in terms of mobility. The Disability Discrimination Act of 1992 requires building owners to be responsible in designing and constructing the building in compliance with Disability Standards.
Compliance with accessibility requirements are usually conducted by the specialist body known as access panels.
Electrical systems can cause a lot of problems when not properly installed. In order to prevent destruction and avoid risks, the Building Code of Australia also requires general electrical safety inspections. Included in the assessment is the inspection of wiring systems, outlets and many others.
Under Australian Health, Safety and Environmental legislation, every building must have sufficient first aid apparatus readily available and functional for use whenever the need for emergency health arises. This is mainly for the safety of every individual, whether he is a worker or a customer in the commercial or industrial building.
Although the use of asbestos is no longer allowed in most regions due to the health risks it provides, some buildings which are constructed decades ago are most probably made of asbestos and other hazardous building materials. In order to protect the individuals inside the building, inspections are usually conducted to check whether there is a need for reconstruction of the building.
Certain industrial and commercial buildings are required to undergo specific inspections. These include the following:
Undergoing building safety inspections is beneficial for you to avoid health risks and probable loss of investment. Contact an inspector now for early assessment and prompt prevention.
More Reading:
Between the years 2003 and 2010, there was an increased number of workers falling off the roofs of buildings under construction. Consequently, the Workplace Safety and Health Administration, otherwise known as WHS came up with useful safety practices that would reduce the number of deaths or even injuries resulting from falls.
The new guidelines are a rescind for the 1999 Interim Protection Compliance Policies, which advised that employers who engage in residential construction activities should have alternative methods for fall protection. All employers must now comply with all the regulations as outlined by WHS.
It is recommended by the National Regulation that every employee who engages in construction work above 6 feet should be protected by safety nets, guard rails, as well as personal fall-arrest systems. In a work station, every employer must ensure that they have an appropriate fall protection plan for all employees working in these sites.
Roofing or replacing an old roof is never a cheap undertaking. It costs money, and the last thing a home or construction owner wants to see is injury taking place on their property. It is the responsibility of roofing contractors to ensure the safety of workers as well as those who may find themselves in such premises from time to time.
It is also important for customers hiring roofing contractors to know that the people they are hiring are complying with the guidelines and safety standards outlined by the Government. Roofing contractors that take safety seriously will carry out an audit before a project can commence. The purpose of this audit is to ensure that all workers have safety equipment and clothing to handle the job. It's a very risky job, so even the slightest slip can turn into a disaster. The risk isn't worth it at all.
When installation is taking place, the number one concern of employers should be the safety of those working under their direction. If they skip planning out on good safety practices, accidents are bound to happen. Furthermore, during installation or repairs, there are a number of safety issues that should be considered and learned about.
Other safety tips that have been highlighted:
These ladders should not be overloaded with tools either. They should be kept away from electrical boxes or even power lines.
The Australian code of practice, in relation to what's highlighted in 2001 NSW's OHS Regulation is in the state legislation. This means that all the regulations should be followed as they are. However, if a contractor has a very good reason not to comply with these laws, then there's a provision to document their reason for not following them, plus back up the reason with a valid risk assessment plan.
Just in case something happens, complying with these laws can be used for defense purposes in a court of law. Otherwise, if there's a breach of these regulations, then the act of not complying with these rules can work against a contractor.
A workstation has to comply with the current OHS requirements irrespective of how old the building is. Furthermore, even a heritage structure or building must comply with the regulations as listed in clause 6.2.1 (f). It says that all architects considerations shall not compromise safety. So if you are a roofing contractor, use the guidelines and you will be safe.

|Foliage Will Be Great This Year
Most all the Vermont locals I have talked to agree that the fall leaf colors this year are much better than average. I am seeing more red than any year in recent memory. We had a very good foliage season last year and I think this will be better.
On Thursday, my wife and I drove down to Manchester VT in the southwestern part of the state. We saw a lot of good color already and those areas are just getting started. It seems like the eastern side of the state is a little ahead of the western side. We saw more color on Route 100 than we did on Route 7. Wherever you are, you will only need to drive around to find good color. Check with your innkeeper for their favorite drives and local reports on foliage color progress.
I took a picture of the hillside across the street from us because it looked so good in person but it did not show up as well in the camera. The sky is overcast today which makes the colors pop even more. However, there is a bit of moisture in the air from the rain we got yesterday and the camera picks up the mist in the air that the human eye can look through I guess.
Below is a better picture showing our parking lot just to give you a taste of what it looks like around here. I hope to get out and drive around Sunday or Monday (we're very busy this weekend) and take some photos of all this great foliage. The foliage should last several weeks but we get so busy that I have to get out whenever I can.
Speaking of which, we are full the first two weekends of October, as are most inns around here, but there are rooms available mid-week. If you are thinking of coming here to see this year's unusually good display of fall foliage, I suggest doing it mid-week if you can. We have an availability calendar on our web site and you will find the same on many other inn's websites as well.

A Firsthand Look at the Magnolia 2300 Yurt – the First Energy Star Home in British Columbia
Rachel Ross:
Meet our house, the Magnolia 2300. It's a three bedroom, round, passive solar home located in the lush green forest of Nelson, B.C. Canada. Myself, my husband Lars, and our 15 year old daughter, Poppy, designed our house using Slow Home principles for building houses that are healthy, designed to exactly fit the inhabitants and are gentle on the environment. The design was 'slow' but the construction process was quick because we pre-fab built the wall panels off-site with the insulation, doors, windows and siding included. Prefab-ulous!
Some glowing benefits of prefab are a lower environmental impact on the site and less construction waste. It goes up fast, and a speed build to weather-tight means that no valuable building materials were adversely affected by rain and snow — which happens in many places, but especially in Canada through the winter. We started pouring the concrete for the ICF foundation in the fall of 2011 and we moved in 150 days later.
This is the first ENERGY STAR Qualified home in B.C., which means that it uses 30% less energy to function as an incredibly comfortable living space. In addition to a passive solar design — 10" thick walls and "tuned" windows — it's wrapped in a 3" blanket of Roxul Rock Wool. It has a continuous air-sealed envelope that includes the insulated doors and Low E windows. The walls are an R34 and the ceiling is a whopping R66. The whole house has an EnerGuide rating of 84. This means that our family can head to bed on a winter's evening with the household temperature at 20 degrees C (68 F) and when we rise in the morning the household temperature is 19 degrees C (66 F).
The house is also a round home, meaning that it literally "embraces" the human beings who reside within it. Lars has been building round homes since 2000 and this home is his culminating dream home. Every aspect is designed to perfectly match the needs of our family.
Why round? As Lars says, "Living in the round is a way of living more closely with nature. Everything around us is round- the moon, the earth, eggs in a nest, the trunks of trees. As a lifelong nature enthusiast, I want my home to connect me with nature, not separate me from nature."
We recently spoke with a beekeeper who reported that her group was experimenting with round shaped bee hives (as compared to the conventional rectangular beehives), she said that the bees in the round hives were less aggressive, more healthy and produced more honey than the same variety of bees in rectangular hives. Just like the bees, we experience greater harmony, more creativity and more flow by living in our round home. And, we love the fact that the natural thermal dynamics of a round space contribute to the overall energy efficiency of the space.

Hi Betsyjane- I'm glad that you took a moment of your time to ask your questions about this project, thank you! This home is 2300 sq.ft., the price tag of $100/sq.ft. is for the Mandala portion- which does not include finishing costs- the Mandala portion is the shell-to-weathertight; the wall systems, floor and roof systems, insulation and siding, doors and windows. The finishing costs are very client specific (ie; granite counter-top or Formica counter-top- so, there is a huge cost difference depending on the choices of the owner, as you can imagine. Our finishing costs on this project were about double per sq. ft. If you would like more information , for example; What's Included in a Mandala Kit. I encourage you to contact firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks for your interest!~Rachel

Hello dwyerj- Thanks for your interest in our buildings! We are a prefab company and we build and ship these structures as kits in panels (and more) with a set-up manual and onsite or phone support- primarily because of the complexity of the round , we want to be closely connected with the projects-more connected than just selling the plans. Does that make sense? If you are still interested, check out our website at http://www.mandalahomes.com or email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information. Thanks, Rachel

Hi Earthgirl- The cost for building a house like this is similar to the cost for a regular build- between $65-$95 sq. ft for the shell to lock-up, and approx $100 sq. ft for finishing costs, depending on choices of materials. The savings in energy costs is significant- about 30% per year! ~Rachel

Go, teamwork! The ASPCA, Best Friends Animal Society, The Humane Society of the United States, Humane Society Legislative Fund, Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association and Change.org have gathered approximately 350,000 letters, comments and signatures from citizens speaking out against puppy mills. Yesterday, the information was hand-delivered to the D.C. headquarters of the U.S. Department of Agriculture in support of the agency's efforts to regulate unlicensed puppy mills.
"The enormous public response to the USDA's proposed rule illustrates just how strongly Americans support greater oversight of unlicensed puppy mills," says Nancy Perry, Senior Vice President of ASPCA Government Relations. "We have witnessed the abhorrent cruelty that often exists behind the pictures of happy puppies posted on a breeder's website, and this rule would crack down on the worst Internet breeders."
The USDA has proposed a rule that will require large-scale commercial breeders that sell pets over the Internet or by mail or phone, sight-unseen, to be licensed and inspected under the federal Animal Welfare Act. The public comment period closes today. Now the USDA will read and consider all comments before deciding final action on the proposed rule.
"We encourage the USDA to adopt a final rule that is enforceable, effective and covers as many commercial breeders as possible," says Perry.
Super thanks to everyone who took the time to speak out for puppy mill dogs. To learn more about our legislative efforts and how you can become involved, please visit our Advocacy Center.

Overview Reviews Details Articles & Videos by Ralph Graves The YID-W10 wireless dock works with select Yamaha receivers to let you enjoy music from your iPod or iPhone through your home theater system while holding your player in the palm of your hand. A small transmitter plugs into your player's docking port, sending a signal to the dock's built-in receiver. From there the signal is carried to your system. Select songs and video as you normally would with your player. Outstanding audio and video quality The system uses Yamaha's yAired wireless technology for superior sound. The transmitter streams uncompressed audio from your player, so your music will sound crisp and clean. And real-time communication between the dock and transmitter ensures that sound and picture remain in sync when you're playing video from your iPod or iPhone.

Yamaha YID-W10 Written By RCBinTN, LaVergne, TN on Monday, December 10, 2012 It works when the iPod is docked in the base, but the wireless does not work well at all. Range is maybe 10 feet not close to the 66 feet claimed by the manufacturer. So, I use it with the iPod docked in the base. This system is also over priced. I checked with Crutchfield and Yamaha, and the Blue Tooth connection is no longer available. It probably didn't work, either. Pros: Works well with iPod docked. Cons: Does not work wirelessly and that's the whole point of this device. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Yamaha YID-W10 Written By Dave H, Marathon, Florida on Saturday, November 05, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This device works well as long as the Iphone or Ipod with the transmitter is within 15 feet of the receiver and there are no walls between the two. Also, the signal is lost if a person walks through the area between the transmitter and receiver. The manufacturer claims a range of 65'. This must be under ideal conditions with no obstructions. The idea of using the product to remotely control music selections from say a porch outside of a home is impractical. I do NOT recommend this product.. Cons: Range is limited to less than 15 feet 25 out of 26 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Hands-on research What's in the box? | In-depth notes What's in the box?

Country singer Maggie Rose cut her musical teeth performing in a Bruce Springsteen cover band as a teenager. Now she's turning heads with another sonic surprise – a dark single where the heroine dies by lethal injection.
A Nashville resident for six years, Rose found "Looking Back Now" - which was originally titled "Whiskey and a Gun" - during her first year in Music City. She knew immediately that she wanted to record it.
"The storytelling aspect of country music is what drew me to Nashville," she said.
"'Whiskey and a Gun' was one of those songs that upon the first listen that it was definitely my story to tell. It's one of those songs that makes you feel something … makes you feel bad for sympathizing with a character that isn't very sympathetic. I figured it would be an honor to tell that story."

I've settled on Git for moving fSekrit forwards, but that's mainly because of Git's "blow off your legs" power with regards to history rewriting - I want to make the codebase public, but retain no memory in the public codebase from the non-public versions. Yet, at the same time, I want the private repository to have FULL history, and do that without committing future versions to both public and private repositories. Git supports that (even if I haven't worked out the details of how to set it up 100% ).
One question : You'll still be able to commit code from the private to the public repo even if you squashed the changesets/history in the public one ??? I most probably don't understand properly as I'm not sure how that would work.
In any case, I've edited Mercurial's ini file to add the "collapse" extension and it seems to load properly. Haven't properly tested it yet. Collapsing changesets is probably not too dangerous when working alone, but I don't know about team work. Potential for disaster.
History of a single function that moves? Interesting. That's not something inherent in how git stores the version history, though, unless I've missed something - Git stores the full version of each file for each commit, whereas both subversion and Mercurial store changesets (iirc Mercurial also stores a full-version "every once in a while" so moving between versions doesn't become too slow). But IOW, if Git can do it, it's gotta be history analyzing magic smartness that could potentially be done by everybody else too?
That's what I read on stackoverflow. Don't take my word for it! I'm going to try to find out more info on that.
From what I've seen from various comparisons, Git and Mercurial offer most of the same features, as long as you don't need the ĂĽber-wicked geek functionality (Mercurial pretty much won't let you blow your legs off). Also seems like there's not massive speed differences for "normal" size projects.
I've seen a number of benchmarks. AFAICT, it varies depending on the task, OS, etc. so it's hard to say. In any case, I'd say that when working locally, we're talking about less than a second. Bazaar has some nice benchmarks numbers on its page, but... I haven't found the same results anywhere else.
Git seems a bit more down and dirty, and the tortoise version still isn't as polished as the tortoise versions of other version control systems... it still shows a bit that Git was originally a whole bunch of shell scripts, instead of designing it "properly" as a C/C++ library with a "proper" front-end
I just looked at smartGit and it looks really nice. I'll see if I can play with it during the weekend.
I probably shouldn't but I'm currently looking at Git.Oh yes, you should, if you have the time, resources and interest in it.
Making a more educated choice now (early/pre-start) is way better than to change half way through your project, if you then discover a feature in the other solution you absolutely must have, for whatever reason.
Thanks for the encouragement. I just have to be careful to not spend too much time obsessing about details -- something I'm pretty good at. But you're probably right. That's why I'll check out the Git option bit more carefully.
I use git with great success, but it does have drawbacks, namely poor support for Windows platform.
It is very fast even with large repositories.
AFAIK mercurial has much wider platform support than git, but is also rather slow. This is from hearsay though.
I chose git at that time because it was the new shit.

Git effectively seems a bit speedier. But, concretely, I'm not sure if I'd be able to see the difference in my everyday work.
The 'portable Git preview' software (for Windows) you can get from softpedia looks to be very promising.
And together with SmartGit (free for personal use) it starts to look quite nice as well.
One hell of lot better than WinCVS at least
