You can become a qigong healer.
This 5-day experiential training covers the application of traditional tai chi and qigong for health and healing. We explore the relationship between specific movements and the body organs and systems.
Yoga of 12-Step Recovery (Y12SR), created by recovery specialist Nikki Myers, is a relapse prevention program that combines the principles of the 12-step program, the trauma healing methods of Somatic Experiencing, and the body-based approaches of
Sil Reynolds and her 24-year-old daughter, Eliza Reynolds, lead mothers and their 10-to-12-year-old daughters in a weekend of initiation, communication, and celebration.
In the Shamanic world-view, we are all interconnected through time and space by a living, conscious web. This concept, understood as "oneness," allows us to affect change regardless of our physical placement in time and geography.
The soul's eternal wisdom and knowledge is always accessible to each and every one of us. We just need to know how to connect with it and learn to tap into its subtle healing messages.
Ancient traditions understood that the crossroads is a place of great power, a place where bold decisions are made and acted upon.
In Katonah Yoga, asana is seen as metaphor. How you move through a forward bend, for example, reflects how you move forward—or don't—in your daily life.

Bucs move into three-way tie for first place with 89-86 victory at Western Carolina
Saturday, February 22, 2003CULLOWHEE, N.C. (Feb. 22, 2003) -- Western Carolina freshman Corey Muirhead scored a career-high 23 points, but the Catamounts (8-17, 5-9 SoCon) could not overcome 22 points from ETSU's senior guard Ryan Lawson (Rogersville, Tenn.) and 21 from freshman point guard Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) as East Tennessee State (16-9, 10-4 SoCon) held on for an 89-86 victory Saturday night at the Ramsey Activity Center. Muirhead, whose previous best was scoring 10 point on five occasions, made 10-of-11 shots from the field and connected on 3-of-6 from the line. Many of the points from the York, Ontario, native came from close range, including three impressive ally-oop dunks. However, ESTU reserve Ryan Lawson stole the headlines with his 22 points, draining 5-of-6 from 3-point range. He also connected on 5-of-6 from the line, including two free throws on a technical late with 23 seconds left in the game. Smith also was proficient from long range, making 3-of-4 treys. With 6:27 left and Western holding a one-point lead (72-71), Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.) made a pair of free throws to spark a 10-2 Buc run to make the score 81-74 with 1:43 remaining. The Cats immediately answered with a Kori Hatcher 3-pointer to cut WCU's deficit to three (81-77). The teams traded baskets then Smith hit two free throws, followed by a Lawson free throw to once again give ETSU a seven-point advantage (86-79) with 34 seconds left. While WCU was going to the free throw line, a technical was called on the WCU bench with 23 seconds left in the game. ETSU's Lawson hit the two free throws and WCU's Martin hit two from the line to make the score 88-81. Emre Atsur stripped Jerald Fields (Gainesville, Fla.) of the ball and drained a 3-pointer to make the score 88-84 in the Bucs' favor with 15 seconds left. Smith only went 1-for-2 at the line on ETSU's next possession and Martin made it a 3-point game with eight seconds left by hitting two free throws. Fields then missed two free throws, leaving Western time for a desperation heave which came up short as time expired. Despite trailing most of the first half, East Tennessee took a 46-40 lead at the break. The stats were fairly even through the first 20 minutes as WCU shot 56 percent from the field and ETSU shot 51.6. However, the Bucs hit 7-of-11 3-pointers, compared to just 1-of-5 by WCU, and held an 18-12 rebound advantage. Both teams continued to shoot well in the second period as Western shot 57.4 percent from the field for the game, compared to 51.9 percent by ETSU. The Cats were also able to keep in the game by making six 3-pointers in the second half, while ETSU only hit three. The difference in the game was ETSU going to the line 35 times, making 23, while the Cats only made 22 trips to the charity stripe, making 17. In addition to Lawson and Smith, Wadood and Fields scored in double figures for East Tennessee. Wadood finished with 16 with three steals and seven rebounds. Fields added 10 points. For the Catamounts, Kevin Martin finished with 19 points, thanks to sinking 11-of-12 at the line, while Rans Brempong and Hatcher each scored 10. Brempong added seven rebounds, while Hatcher dished out eight assists with three steals. East Tennessee State, which moves into a three-way tie in the Southern Conference North Division along with Davidson and Appalachian State, has just two regular season games remaining, both at home, and will play on Monday, Feb. 24 as the Buccaneers host Furman at 7:30 pm. ETSU will wrap up its regular season by hosting Appalachian State, perhaps for all the marbles, at the "mini-dome" on Mar. 1.

I configured a PC for a friend who's been travelling and she asked me how to change the time on the computer. I suppose it makes would sense to do that as a user, not as an admin. Actually both make sense, but I'm looking for a user solution here.
I expected to find something in the parameter manager, but found nothing.
However, there seems to be something hidden in orage clock. Global time. It opens a really small window with a settings menu where a timezone can be picked.
Is this meant for that ? Is it documented ? Does it display a clock with a chosen timezone, or does it actually change the time user-wide for all applications ?
I admit my request is unclear as I mix up absolute time and local time, and I don't really know what the need exactly is, but I think you see the idea.
I heard that Gnome Shell clock util and KDE's clock address this, although I don't have the detail.
Bottom line, the issue is: I'd expect to find a clock setting in the parameter manager GUI and I didn't. Do I miss a package ? Is this normal ? Should we add something there ? What ? How ?
I know the timezone can be changed by adding
TZ='Europe/Berlin'; export TZ
(requires session restart)
The value could be obtained by the same tree view that is used in the timezone picker I was refering to earlier.
Any hint anyone ?
You can use the Orage Panel Plugin to display the time for a different timezone as a plugin that sits in the panel. It doesn't change the system time, just allows you to display the time from a different timezone. In fact, you can add multiple copies of this plugin to display time from differing timezones. (In fact, Orage has much more functionality than just time display. Here is a good document that shows more of its functionality).
If you want the user to change the system date/time, you can install "system-config-date" (should be in your distro's repositories) and setup sudo to allow the user to run this particular app without a password. This app will also add a date/time icon in the Settings Manager for easier access.
Hi, thank you for your answer.
So there is a way to display the time for any timezone in the Orage clock. And there is a system config GUI that can be added to the Settings Manager for users with appropriate credentials.
However, there is no way to set the timezone user-widely, which is what I understood "TZ='Europe/Berlin'; export TZ" does. I don't know if this is so useful, anyway. I can't think of many program actually using this.
Well, in fact, the alarms generated by Orage itself should probably be timed on this. Maybe they are relative to system time, but I believe they should depend on user timezone. I also use (and used to contribute to) gbirthday, which needs date/time as well.
However, there is no way to set the timezone user-widely, which is what I understood "TZ='Europe/Berlin'; export TZ" does.
Yes, system-config-date will do this for you. Or if you prefer to do it manually, you can change the file that /etc/localtime links to (or in the case of Ubuntu, it seems to be a straight copy, not a link). For example (Arch Linux, current timezone=Canada/Eastern):
sudo rm /etc/localtime
sudo ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Pacific /etc/localtime
...changes my timezone to Canada/Pacific and changes my system time.
Yes, but this is sytem-wide, not what I'd call "user-wide": all softwares for a given user.
It seems sensible to me that time/date settings be system-wide rather than on a per-user basis. After all, when people take their computer with them to a different time-zone, most of them (all, AFAIK, lol) take the whole computer - not just their particular "home" directory.
Btw, I'm surprised that things aren't advanced enough by this point for a computer to figure out local time automatically whenever it accesses the Internet. Also, since it's a linux OS, that a person cannot simply open a terminal and set the time with a command (such as time, settime, or similar)... But I'd expect even that to require an administrator password.

Jonathan Saunders / Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear
Search a show by:
The setting—a Gattaca-like office floor in an unsettling futuristic complex—signaled Jonathan Saunders's usual engagement with ultramodernity, but the clothes this season glanced back instead. "It was nice to see lengths past the knee and quite elegant," he said. "That stricter pencil skirt and flirty forties dresses."
Saunders had been looking at the strange, surreal tones of Paul Outerbridge's early color photographs and the work of Euan Uglow for inspiration this season. Lalique glass was the source for sinuous Art Nouveau prints of poppies and orchids that were striking when used in different color combinations for a blouse and skirt, for example.
Interesting tonal experiments also included Palio color-block blouses in combinations such as rose and emerald, or two variations of China blue, worn with slim fifties skirts in rust mohair or silky jersey. Coats in deep pile wool had been heat-treated to create smooth areas, thus subtly altering the shade.
Christian Louboutin's velvet shoes with chunky wooden heels completed the "Austerity Britain" flavor.

Holt's Cigar Co., Philadelphia
Andrew Nagy
Posted: October 25, 2012
Whether you live in Philadelphia or are just in town for business or pleasure, the place to enjoy a cigar in the city of brotherly love is Holt's Cigar Co.
Located in the heart of Center City, Holt's boasts an impressive selection of cigars and accessories, along with an inviting smoking lounge. Holt's has been helping Philly's cigar and pipe enthusiasts since it was established in 1898. The store was bought by Albert and Jean Levin in 1957, and in 1974, their son Robert took over the operation. Levin created a proprietary cigar brand for the store in 1986 that you may have heard of: Ashton.
The shop is a 15 minute walk from Philadelphia's major tourist area, the Old City, where, among other colonial sites, Independence National Historic Park, the Liberty Bell and the Betsy Ross House are located. Twenty minutes in the other direction and you'll be at the famed "Rocky Steps" of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, with The Franklin Institute and Rodin Museum nearby.
On the day I visited Holt's, I left my hotel near Logan Square and walked to the Old City to check out the historical sites. I chose the scenic route through Rittenhouse Square and meandered between Locust, Spruce and Pine Streets, admiring the colonial architecture along the way.
After getting my yearly dose of history and patriotism, it was time for a smoke. On my walk back on Pine Street, an impressive craft beer window display at The Foodery, a small corner shop, piqued my interest. Inside was a craft beer lover's paradise—rows of hard-to-find brews, some aged. I scored a bottle of Unibroue's La Fin Du Monde from 2011 and headed to the BYOB-friendly Holt's.
The shop is set up in railroad apartment fashion, with three distinct areas connected to each other in a line. The first part of the shop features displays and counters full of cigar accoutrements—lighters, humidors, cutters and such. A door leads into the store's humidor, which is the entire middle part of the store. And at the end of the humidor is a third door that separates the humidor and a cozy smoking lounge.
The humidor is filled wall-to-wall with cigars. Two active humidification units keep the humidity constant as shoppers glean the fantastic selection of smokes, which include everything from hard-to-find Arturo Fuentes and Padróns to Tatuajes, San Lotanos, Alec Bradleys and, of course, the entire line of Ashton and San Cristobal cigars. It's a good bet that whatever cigar you seek, Holt's has it in stock.
Wanting a cigar that I knew would pair well with the La Fin Du Monde, I grabbed a San Cristobal Elegancia Imperial. While the store does allow smoking in the humidor, I wanted to give my feet a break, and the plush leather seats and couches inside the smoking lounge looked too comfortable. Also, the Notre Dame vs. Stanford football game was on the lounge's large flat-screen television, so that might have influenced my decision a little bit.
The lounge, while cozy, features enough seating for about a dozen or so people. In addition to the flat-screen TV, there is an espresso machine available for customers who need a caffeine fix. The store also has WiFi, and I saw a couple businessmen with laptops doing whatever it is businessmen with laptops do on a trip to Philly.
One of the store's staff found me a glass, and I popped the cork off the La Fin Du Monde and lit up the Elegancia. While I drank and smoked, I noticed some other patrons had brought in chicken wings from Federal Donuts, a nearby food place revered by locals.
about an hour, my cigar was waning and my stomach was growling from the
smell of the wings. It was time for dinner. I thanked the staff for
their kindness and headed back out into Philadelphia, where I continued
my walk through its cozy streets.

Great store, great selection and a fantastic staff !!
Heavy Padrino — BOCA Raton, fl, USA , — November 7, 2012 4:49pm ET
Visited the shop last month. Nice selection with awesome prices. Attentive and professional staff with a nice seating lounge area. Pretty sure I stopped in 5 out of the 8 days I was in Philly for a smoke..
Dave Wisniewski — November 11, 2012 5:10pm ET
Holt's humidor is the best in the city, and even beyond its borders. Only the uninformed would go anywhere else. The lounge is quite cozy and big enough to stretch your legs. The staff does a fantastic job of helping and informing customers without pretentiousness. Soon the renovations will be complete on the upstairs stogie saloon and most of the regulars are very anxious for its opening. It is anticipated that (like all else Holt's) it will exceed expectations. A must stop for any cigar lover visiting the area.
Paul Puglia — November 19, 2012 1:32am ET
This sounds interesting. It might make a trip to Philly worth my time.
firstname.lastname@example.com — November 19, 2012 10:10pm ET
I was astonished to read that you could buy a La fin du Monde in Philly or even that you would know what is a La fin du monde ! I didn't know that Unibroue exports to the US.
Nice to see our Quebec microbrews being enjoyed south of the border.
Cheers !

The Obama campaign's technologists were tense and tired. It was game day and everything was going wrong.
Josh Thayer, the lead engineer of Narwhal, had just been informed that they'd lost another one of the services powering their software. That was bad: Narwhal was the code name for the data platform that underpinned the campaign and let it track voters and volunteers. If it broke, so would everything else.
They were talking with people at Amazon Web Services, but all they knew was that they had packet loss. Earlier that day, they lost their databases, their East Coast servers, and their memcache clusters. Thayer was ready to kill Nick Hatch, a DevOps engineer who was the official bearer of bad news. Another of their vendors, StallionDB, was fixing databases but needed to rebuild the replicas. It was going to take time, Hatch said. They didn't have time.
They had been working 14-hour days, six or seven days a week, trying to reelect the president, and now everything had been broken at just the wrong time. It was like someone had written a Murphy's Law algorithm and deployed it at scale.

Loading feed...
And that was the point. "Game day" was Oct. 21. The election was still 17 days away, and this was a live action role playing (LARPing!) exercise that the campaign's chief technology officer, Harper Reed, was inflicting on his team. "We worked through every possible disaster situation," Reed said. "We did three actual all-day sessions of destroying everything we had built."
Hatch was playing the role of dungeon master, calling out devilishly complex scenarios that were designed to test each and every piece of their system as they entered the exponential traffic-growth phase of the election. Mark Trammell, an engineer who Reed hired after he left Twitter, saw a couple of game days. He said they reminded him of his time in the Navy. "You ran firefighting drills over and over and over, to make sure that you not just know what you're doing," he said, "but you're calm because you know you can handle your sh--."
The team had elite and, for tech, senior talent--by which I mean that most of them were in their 30s--from Twitter, Google, Facebook, Craigslist, Quora, and some of Chicago's own software companies such as Orbitz and Threadless, where Reed had been CTO. But even these people, maybe especially these people, knew enough about technology not to trust it. "I think the Republicans f----- up in the hubris department," Reed told me. "I know we had the best technology team I've ever worked with, but we didn't know if it would work. I was incredibly confident it would work. I was betting a lot on it. We had time. We had resources. We had done what we thought would work, and it still could have broken. Something could have happened."
In fact, the day after the Oct. 21 game day, Amazon services--on which the whole campaign's tech presence was built--went down. "We didn't have any downtime because we had done that scenario already," Reed said. Hurricane Sandy hit on another game day, Oct. 29, threatening the campaign's whole East Coast infrastructure. "We created a hot backup of all our applications to U.S.-west in preparation for U.S.-east to go down hard," Reed said.
"We knew what to do," Reed maintained, no matter what the scenario was. "We had a runbook that said if this happens, you do this, this, and this. They did not do that with Orca."
The New Chicago Machine vs. the Grand Old Party
Orca was supposed to be the Republican answer to Obama's perceived tech advantage. In the days leading up to the election, the Romney campaign pushed its (not-so) secret weapon as the answer to the Democrats' vaunted ground game. Orca was going to allow volunteers at polling places to update the Romney camp's database of voters in real time as people cast their ballots. That would supposedly allow them to deploy resources more efficiently and wring every last vote out of Florida, Ohio, and the other battleground states. The product got its name, a Romney spokesperson told NPR, because orcas are the only known predator of the one-tusked narwhal.
The billing the Republicans gave the tool confused almost everyone inside the Obama campaign. Narwhal wasn't an app for a smartphone. It was the architecture of the company's sophisticated data operation. Narwhal unified what Obama for America knew about voters, canvassers, event-goers, and phone-bankers, and it did it in real time. From the descriptions of the Romney camp's software that were available then and now, Orca was not even in the same category as Narwhal. It was like touting the iPad as a Facebook killer, or comparing a GPS device to an engine. And besides, in the scheme of a campaign, a digitized strike list is cool, but it's not, like, a game changer. It's just a nice thing to have.
So, it was with more than a hint of schadenfreude that Reed's team hears that Orca crashed early on Election Day. Later reports posted by rank-and-file volunteers describe chaos descending on the polling locations as only a fraction of the tens of thousands of volunteers organized for the effort were able to use it properly to turn out the vote.
Of course, they couldn't snicker too loudly. Obama's campaign had created a similar app in 2008 called Houdini. As detailed in Sacha Issenberg's groundbreaking book, Victory Lab, Houdini's rollout went great until about 9:30 a.m. on the day of the election. Then it crashed in much the same way that Orca did.
In 2012, Democrats had a new version, built by the vendor NGP VAN. It was called Gordon, after the man who killed Houdini. But the 2008 failure, among other needs, drove the 2012 Obama team to bring technologists in-house.
With Election Day bearing down on them, they knew they could not go down. And yet they had to accommodate much more strain on the systems as interest in the election picked up toward the end, as it always does. Mark Trammell, who worked for Twitter during its period of exponential growth, thought it would have been easy for the Obama team to fall into many of the pitfalls that the social network did back then. But while the problems of scaling both technology and culture quickly might have been similar, the stakes were much higher. A fail whale (cough) in the days leading up to or on Nov. 6 would have been neither charming nor funny. In a race that at least some people thought might be very close, it could have cost the president the election.
And, of course, the team's only real goal was to elect the president. "We have to elect the president. We don't need to sell our software to Oracle," Reed told his team. But the secondary impact of their success or failure would be to prove that campaigns could effectively hire and deploy top-level programming talent. If they failed, it would be evidence that this stuff might be best left to outside political technology consultants, by whom the arena had long been handled. If Reed's team succeeded, engineers might become as enshrined in the mechanics of campaigns as social-media teams already are.
We now know what happened. The grand technology experiment worked. So little went wrong that Trammell and Reed even had time to cook up a little pin to celebrate. It said, "YOLO," short for "You Only Live Once," with the Obama Os.
When Obama campaign chief Jim Messina signed off on hiring Reed, he told him, "Welcome to the team. Don't f--- it up." As Election Day ended and the dust settled, it was clear: Reed had not f----- it up.
The campaign had turned out more volunteers and gotten more donors than in 2008. Sure, the field organization was more entrenched and experienced, but the difference stemmed in large part from better technology. The tech team's key products--Dashboard, the Call Tool, the Facebook Blaster, the PeopleMatcher, and Narwhal--made it simpler and easier for anyone to engage with the president's reelection effort.
But it wasn't easy. Reed's team came in as outsiders to the campaign and, by most accounts, remained that way. The divisions among the tech, digital, and analytics team never quite got resolved, even if the end product has salved the sore spots that developed over the stressful months. At their worst, in early 2012, the cultural differences between tech and everybody else threatened to derail the whole grand experiment.
By the end, the campaign produced exactly what it should have: a hybrid of the desires of everyone on Obama's team. They raised hundreds of millions of dollars online, made unprecedented progress in voter targeting, and built everything atop the most stable technical infrastructure of any presidential campaign. To go a step further, I'd even say that this clash of cultures was a good thing: The nerds shook up an ossifying Democratic tech structure, and the politicos taught the nerds a thing or two about stress, small-p politics, and the significance of elections.
YOLO: Meet the Obama Campaign's Chief Technology Officer
If you're a nerd, Harper Reed is an easy guy to like. He's brash and funny and smart. He gets you and where you came from. He, too, played with computers when they weren't cool, and learned to code because he just could not help himself. You could call out nouns, phenomena, and he'd be right there with you: BBS, warez, self-organizing systems, Rails, the quantified self, Singularity. He wrote his first programs at age 7, games that his mom typed into their Apple IIC. He, too, has a memory that all nerds share: Late at night, light from a chunky monitor illuminating his face, fingers flying across a keyboard, he figured something out.
TV news segments about cybersecurity might look lifted straight from his memories, but the b-roll they shot of darkened rooms and typing hands could not convey the sense of exhilaration he felt when he built something that works. Harper Reed got the city of Chicago to create an open and real-time feed of its transit data by reverse engineering how they served bus location information. Why? Because it made his wife Hiromi's commute a little easier. Because it was fun to extract the data from the bureaucracy and make it available to anyone who wanted it. Because he is a nerd.

This was great. Very easy to make.
I wish we had the ability to reply to reviews on this site, since we can not I'll make a few comments to some of the reviewers here.
Spread the cake in the pan all the way to the corners with a spatula. Smooth it evenly throughout the pan. If you dump it all in the center of the pan, it will not spread out to the corners in the oven by itself.
Spray the pan with regular Pam, line it with wax paper, spray the wax paper with Pam for baking (with flour) and the cake will be easy to remove from the pan.
Roll the cake in a towel (or as another suggested, use a pillow case). This is done to let the heat and moisture escape. Rolling it in wax paper will trap in moisture from the hot cake and make the cake soggy.
Hope this helps.
I lost my old recipe for pumpkin roll and i was very disappointed with how this came out, the pumpkin cake part didn't cook right it literally broke apart as it was rolled. and the filling came out watery. i'm going to have to continue the search for my old one after this experience.

We made 20 of these this past weekend. We found that if you just spray the pan good with pam and not use wax paper it will work good. We put our wax paper on the table, lightly coated it with powdered sugar then when it came out of the oven we put a small amount of powdered sugar on top of the cake and then rolled it up and put in ref. to cool down. It unrolled real good. We also added 8 Tablespoons of Cool Whip to the filling and it really gave it a good taste. We have more orders to fill for Christmas.lol. So you can see it is a very good recipe.
I've been making this for quite a few years. Everybody loves it. Just make sure that you put plenty of sifted confectionary sugar on towel before rolling, otherwise it will stick to towel and make sure it is completely cooled before unrolling it.
I love this recipe. I have made this recipe 3 times now. Each time I used all the ingredients exactly as they are called for. I varied the way I prepared the pan each time based on reviews here. Here's what I found...the first time I made it I just sprayed the pan then poured in the batter. It came out fine. The second time I did the same - and it stuck! Same pan but for some reason I was not as lucky as the first time. The third time I lined the pan with parchment, sprayed that then poured in the batter. That seemed to work best but I found out why you spray the pan also *before* you put the paper in...some batter leaked under the paper and stuck to the pan a bit. It stil turned out okay. I think I have learned: DON'T TAKE YOUR CHANCES ONLY SPRAYING THE PAN. Lastly, IF YOU CRACK IT BEYOND REPAIR: I broke it into pieces and used a trifle bowl to layer the pieces and the cream cheese mixture (with 1 cup cool whip mixed into the cream cheese). I topped it with more cool whip, nuts, and a dusting of cinnamon. It was a good rescue and looked great!
This cake is so delicious, I cannot recommend it enough. I added 1/2 tsp. ginger to the cake and 1 teaspoon grated orange peel along with 1/2 cup cool whip to the cream filling. Be sure to let the rolled cake cool all the way before attempting to unroll it and fill it!
I never made a jelly roll cake before and was kind of nervous. I made 2 of them and they were very easy!! I used all Splenda (R) in place of sugar and it was delicious. I froze mine to bring to a couple of parties. Thaws in a hour or so. Looks like a bakery made it. Taste wonderful! Thank you.
Very delicious! If you grease and flour the sheet well before putting the batter on, you don't need to put parchment paper on it. It's just a pain to peel off afterwards. Instead of putting it on a towel, you can put some saran wrap down and sprinkle it, then use that to roll it up after it cools a little. We forgot to turn it over though before we put the cream cheese mixture on the ugly side, that way the nice smooth side is up. We also put cool whip in the filling, but one cup was a bit much. Neufchâtel cheese also worked fine (it's healthier). We also used splenda in the cream cheese filling in place for half the sugar. Enjoy! Very tasty**

The talk is free and will take place in the Panasci Family Chapel on the Le Moyne campus. The computer revolution has made possible the development of extraordinary new weapons. Although our current legal and moral principles do not permit force in any but the most serious situations and as a last resort, government officials and certain academics are arguing for new interpretations of the rules. Dr. O'Connell believes that such arguments are inconsistent with the fundamental right to life.

Solar power isn't the only renewable resourceA company called AgriPower will begin production next year of a movable power generator fueled by a wide range of waste products, from walnut shells to discarded tires.
Although solar and wind energy are the best-known renewable energies, generating power from biomass is getting a closer look, as societies try to diversify their fuel sources.
'bout time they got this concept off the ground. :yes:

It's that time of year.
We look forward to the fall, while summer temperatures continue to increase.
Every last trip we plan, whether to the beach or the deep into the Great Outdoors, may just be the last of the year.
And while we may be thirsty, the seasonal doldrums make it more difficult to focus on what we need to do in order to stay hydrated.
If we've made it past Independence Day, but are still too far away to consider ourselves in the 'dog days,' it's safe to say that many of us may find ourselves in the summer doldrums.
While this is a great time of year to give ourselves an excuse to be a little lazy, we never want this peaceful malaise to get in the way of all-important hydration.
After all, we still have a lot to look forward to, including:
1. MLB All-Star Game – the one All-Star Game in all four major professional sports that matters, the Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be played tonight (July 15th) in our home base of Minneapolis, MN.
Whether you plan to attend the game in person, or watch it from the comfort of your clean air-conditioned home, drinking enough water throughout the day will ensure you can stay awake through the inevitable late end without feeling like a zombie the next day.
2. That Last Camping Trip of the Season – that last camping trip of the season is a great time to create memories that will last a lifetime. Unfortunately, it's also a great time for Mother Nature to create harmful algae blooms in major waterways found around campsites, including the Great Lakes.
Algae bloom or no algae bloom, you can never be sure what type of water quality conditions or shortages you may run into when leaving the comfort of your home. To ensure you stay hydrated in even the most unexpected and inhospitable outdoors conditions, we would highly recommend browsing our selection of camping or RV filters, prior to your trip.
3. Football Camp – in late summer, football players at nearly every level – from high school to pro – will have reported to their respective camps. A sport more suited to be played in brisker fall temperatures, there have been far too many unfortunate and tragic incidents related to dehydration of players simply not accustomed to the summer conditions. (Our own Korey Stringer comes immediately to mind.)
If you are reporting to camp, or know someone that is, remember to always have or insist upon having a source of hydration close by. We can even help with our robust selection of eco-friendly water bottles, found here.
4. Month Three of Dry Air Conditioned Air – this time of year, it can be difficult to stay hydrated, even if you forgo those last outings in favor of the Great Indoors. The reason why is that air conditioned air can be very dry, despite being quite comfortable temperature-wise. If you prefer to be a homebody this time of the summer, be sure that you have what you need on hand – from water bottles to those replacement fridge filters you need – to help you stay hydrated in the face of dry indoor air.
5. Back to School! – while the official calendar may still say it's summertime, the school calendar says it's time to come back. Whether you are a parent breathing a sigh of relief, or a student getting prepped, remember that one of the keys to staying smart is to stay hydrated. But don't just take our slightly biased word for it. Dr. Philippa Norman shares how hydration is key to brain health on her site, here.
To help ensure your whole family is able to stay hydrated during back to school season, check out our selection of water bottles (linked here, once again) – or simply ensure that all filters in your home are ready to handle back to school hydration duties by finding the entire range of filters you need at our online store.
What else do you do to ensure you stay hydrated in late summer, and just as importantly, what late summer events do you ensure you stay hydrated for? I invite you to share, via a comment below.

When I first creed an Apple account, years ago, I used a password which I've been using ever since. Later I joined Me.com and I was assigned an email address that also became another Apple ID for me. More recently, with the new iCloud it looks like only my email address will be accepted as the ID t... So, how do I merge my now "old" ID into my newer @me.com address? Thanks.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Ask Different is a question and answer site for power users of Apple hardware and software. It's 100% free, no registration required.
As of now, you cannot merge multiple Apple IDs into one Apple ID. It has been rumored but it is not possible at the moment.
Apple still working on it. I know about it from last news.
Here's an idea. What you can do, if you haven't bought much or anything on your new ID. You can change the email address on your apple ID once every 90 days (which is important, make sure you do this right the first time).
So change your me.com address to something else entirely. Make a new temporary email on gmail if you have to. Then change your old apple ID to your current me.com address. And all your old purchases are now under your brand spanking new email address.

January 15, 2013 was a big day for the Carbon Fiber Technology Facility. For the first time, technicians conducted a hot test of the oven system with a band of fibers moving through the ovens, thus producing a batch of "black" oxidized polyacrylonitrile fiber, or OPF. During this process, polymer fiber material makes multiple passes through each of four large (each approximately 30 feet long and 10 feet tall) ovens at temperatures between 200oC and 300oC. This turns the polyacrylonitrile fibers from white to black via chemical reactions that render the fibers flame resistant and enable them to withstand subsequent carbonization at much higher temperatures.
This milestone follows a very successful wrap-up of 2012. In December, the facility's operations team, working alongside equipment suppliers, completed all testing of individual unit operations (e.g., ovens, furnaces, materials conveyance systems) as well as a series of "cold runs" to verify continuous processing capabilities. And in October, ORNL hosted a meeting of the Oak Ridge Carbon Fiber Consortium, which now counts 44 member companies. New collaborations are in the works, and working groups are gaining traction.

Independent science, from the ground up.
Our point of view is defined largely by two sets of commitments: to farmers, farmworkers and communities on the front lines, and to independent science on the ground. PAN's "grassroots science" approach involves our scientists working in the fields together with affected communities — documenting how pesticides drift and persist in human bodies and the environment for decades, and learning about agroecological farming practices from indigenous peoples and farmers around the world.
As trained agronomists, chemists, ecologists and analysts, we also track and translate science, making it publically accessible — because pesticides are a public health problem, requiring public participation to solve.
Refusing the notion that environmental health and justice is a matter for experts to decide, we have — for over 20 years — reported news and science developments in our weekly PANUPS digest. Although we recently moved on to a more interactive reporting format with our GroundTruth blog, we have kept a searchable PANUPS archive that goes back to 1998. Other public information tools:
For nearly 30 years — from before there were FAX machines through to today's networked world — PAN has worked to make visible the on-the-ground human health costs of the pesticide industry. We've tried to do this in a way that values the complementary rigors of science and democracy: transparency and truth-telling, independence of mind, collaboration, free inquiry and a prickly refusal of top-down control.

Fresh Air Weekend: Mormon 'Elders', Johnny Cash And Jherek Bischoff
Originally published on Sat April 13, 2013 10:03 am
Fresh Air Weekend highlights some of the best interviews and reviews from past weeks, and new program elements specially paced for weekends. Our weekend show emphasizes interviews with writers, filmmakers, actors and musicians, and often includes excerpts from live in-studio concerts. This week:
Former Mormon Missionary Describes The Experience Of 'Elders': As a Mormon missionary, Ryan McIlvain spent two years ringing strangers' doorbells, even as he experienced doubts about his own faith. He left the church in his mid-20s. McIlvain's debut novel, Elders, tells the story of two young Mormons carrying out their missions.
Jherek Bischoff Crafts A Symphonic Sound On 'Composed': The musician, songwriter, composer and producer has made a name for himself by playing with the likes of Amanda Palmer. For his latest album, however, he found himself departing from a rock sound as he began writing his own orchestral arrangements.
Johnny Cash's Columbia Catalog Out Now — As A 63-Disc Box Set: Cash spent half a century in the limelight as a country singer turned American icon. Between 1958, when he first recorded for Columbia, until 1986, when it didn't renew his contract, he recorded more than 50 singles and 60 albums for the label.

Tru-Spec TRU Xtreme 50/50 NyCo Ripstop Combat Shirt can be worn alone or with the Tru-Spec TRU Xtreme 50/50 NyCo Ripstop Vest to form a full ACU-style shirt.
Tactical response team members and military personnel have two main issues integrating body armor with their uniform. First, main uniform pockets become covered and unavailable. Second, heavy body armor combined with a uniform top and a base layer create an unbearably hot environment. The Combat Shirt concept improves the design of the tactical uniform by reclaiming cargo pockets and placing them on the sleeves in a more practical arrangement, reducing weight by eliminating excess uniform material and need for separate base layer and creating a comfortable, durable and naturally thermal resistant body that also wicks moisture.
It's A Uniform - the full function sleeves are based on the extremely popular TRU uniform and available in two high performance fabric options. Both are tough, durable and field tested to ensure dependable service under the most challenging conditions. The TRU Xtreme Combat Shirt features improved features such as a Mandarin collar can be worn up or down to keep out debris and zippered front closure.
It's A Base Layer - The body of the Tru-Spec TRU Xtreme 50/50 NyCo Ripstop Combat Shirt is made from Cordura brand Baselayer. This 50/50 cotton/nylon miracle blend insulates the body when exposed to high temperatures and will not drip or melt onto the skin like polyester. Cordura Baselayer fabric is also incredibly breathable, wicking away moisture 2.5 times faster than 100% cotton, plus it dries quickly. Even though the fabric is soft, lightweight and comfortable, CORDURA adds tough-as-nails durability needed to minimize tears and other abrasions.
SIZES: XS-3XL Reg or M-2XL Long
COLORS: Black/Black, Khaki/Khaki, MULTICAM/Sand or Olive Drab/Olive Drab

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

Let us pray…
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

Even More Food For Thought
"Men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties: 1. Those who fear and distrust the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes. 2. Those who identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe, although not the most wise depositary of the public interests."

On the ladder until my last game, I rarely saw hallucination abilities, if at all. This leads me to believe that it is not very effective overall. So my question is, can it be effective? If so, in what situations?

Hallucinated phoenix are very good scouts. Hallucinated Archons are great tanks, or for charging void rays before a battle.
If your opponent doesn't have detection, you can often fool them with a few hallucinations to bulk up your army. Idra famously left a game after his opponent added some hallucinated void rays to his colossus/stalker death ball, so it does work at the pro level too!
Mutalisks will tend to run away from Archons if they see them, so having some hallucinated archons in your minerals lines might be enough to deter harass, especially if you have some real ones too!
You can always use a hallucination unit as scout.

J. Darrell Turner began preaching as an Evangelist in 1980 and in 1987 became involved in Missionary Evangelism in Argentina. Having been in 49 countries he has answered the call of God to preach the gospel around the world. He is Founder & Director of River of Life International, through which many native Churches have been planted, the poor fed and clothed and in 2004 the House of Hope building in Armenia was originally purchased to house impoverished widows. In 1994 he was the first Evangelist and North American to be honored with a Doctor of Missiology degree from the South American Seminary in Quito, Ecuador. Having worked with School of Christ founder B.H. Clendennen from the first School in Russia 1992, he assumed the President's position of that world-wide ministry in 2013. Brother Turner now travels throughout the U.S. and the world preaching the message of Christ. He is married to Gwen Turner and has two daughters and three grandchildren.
Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15) The School of Christ is driven by the belief that Christ is about to return for His Church. There is an urgency about us, for we believe we shall stand before God and give an account for what we have and have not done. The School of Christ takes seriously the command of Jesus to preach the Gospel to every creature.
The School of Christ International, now functioning in many countries of the world, has proven to be one of the most effective tools for world evangelism in the history of missions. The entire focus of the School of Christ is to train and send the native to his or her own people.
The School of Christ is strictly a training and sending tool. We have no churches and will not have any. Our purpose in every Nation is for these native pastors and leaders to go out from the School of Christ to build new Pentecostal churches and to strengthen the existing churches.
The School of Christ is about life. Though knowledge and doctrine are included in our learning, these are nothing without the manifest life of Christ in the believer. The School proceeds on the principal that, the creature is here to contain and manifest the Creator.

Anyway, I have a new Maxstar 150 STH. I love it for tig welding and stick. Welds very nice and the portability can't be beat. I never do aluminum, so AC is not important to me. The air cooled 17 torch never really gets too hot to handle.

Yeah I used my Dynasty 200DX with the WP17 air cooled torch at 200 amps AC for 12 feet of weld, only stopping to reposition and had no problems.
That was on 220v by the way.

to me it sounds like your discoloration is from too much heat input. your weld and heat affected zone should never turn black. that's called carbide pecipitation and it isn't good at all. try making smaller passes or pick up your travel speed. there is a product called wonder gel that is made by bradford derustit that will remove most discoloration. it's a little pricey but works well for me.

The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
The Creation Museum demonstrates that the ministry of Answers of Genesis is not first and foremost about Genesis—it's about Answers.
Sometimes when I am studying evolution, I take a step back and worship my Lord because I am so in awe.
A college student raised as a young-earth creationist shares his story of coming to understand and appreciate God's evolving creation.
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
In the early 1700s, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz famously disagreed about whether God periodically "corrected" the orbits of the planets. Why their disagreement matters for today's debates about God and evolution.
Evangelicals are skeptical of space exploration—but can pastors change this from the pulpit?
I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
The former chair of the Harvard University physics department muses on how faith gives meaning to his scientific work.
The story of the Genesis Rock reminds us of how biblical and scientific accounts, despite their different purviews and purposes, remain inexorably linked in our understanding of origins.
My childhood in the evangelical church gave me the toolkit that led me to eventually accept the evidence for evolution, and marvel at the God who created it all.
BioLogos president Deb Haarsma responds to Ken Ham's recent comments about Hugh Ross, and pleads for a more gracious conversation between Christians on issues of faith and science.
The 1930 showdown between evolutionist Schmucker and creationist Rimmer generated a lot of heat but shed very little light on the real issues behind the debate.
Recent high-school graduate Jacob shares about his journey from young-earth creationism to evolutionary creationism, and how his faith was challenged and strengthened along the way.
Are black holes in trouble? Could life have come from space? What do we know about the religious lives of Indian scientists? Find the answers to these questions and more.
This week's news features volcanoes, skeletons, and stars, as well as a thought-provoking new book from InterVarsity press.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
God could have created a fertile planet miraculously in an instant, but when we look carefully at the physical evidence, it appears that the earth has a longer history as part of the universe.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Because BioLogos accepts the scientific evidence for the age of the earth and common ancestry, Ham believes we are undermining the Bible and denying its authority. However, the authority of the Bible is key for all that we do at BioLogos.

This is the final product: A surprisingly strong magnetic key hook that takes just a few minutes to do. It is ridiculously inexpensive and does not involve replacing your existing plastic switch plate. I did not even use tape or glue. This is so easy I debated not even posting it. However, someone else may find the information useful. Keep in mind that you need to have the cheap, ubiquitous, builder's quality, plastic switch plates to make this work. The magnetic force will easily cross a plastic switch plate. Any other switch plate is YMMV.
When you are done, you can turn the light out and take your keys. I already have 2 key hooks mounted on the wall next to the light switch. However, my wife has insisted on using both hooks to wrap the 2 rings she has on her key chain over top my keys. I constantly need to take her keys off the hooks to get to my keys. Instead of make a Federal issue over it, I made the switch plate into a magnetic hook for my car key.
Step 1: Begin with a strong magnet and something to wrap the sides
That's great! I'm going to build one just as soon as I can get a strong magnet
I really like the elegant/simple design of this. I've made something similar, but it takes up wall space. The use of a switch plate is genius!
Like, what if the magnet gets loose and sticks to the nearest ferrous object.
To others re hard drive, thanks for the info!!!
Indeed, I had a great deal of fun reading these comments! Thank you.
Could also be used instead of a hide-a-key because it could be placed somewhere a key shouldn't be like stuck to the under side of the eaves a bit down from the door, or the trunk of a nearby tree.
But a great, SIMPLE idea (which is probably why I never thought of it before HI HI) pure greatness!
IF YOU HAVE A PROGRAMMED SMART KEY FOR YOUR AUTOMOBILE, you could demagnetize it... and loose your ability to start your car.
Worse, if your key becomes magnetized, you'll be carrying a new magnet in your pocket...and possibly erasing objects that it comes in contact with.
If you deal in magnetic media, jump drives, floppy discs, cassette tapes, credit cards, etc... this could be a VERY REAL RISK for you. USE CAUTION!
I already have to keep my cell phone separate from the credit cards in my wallet, I can't imagine the juggling i would have to do if my keys became magnetized as well!
So to each his own, I suppose?
You don't have any risk of these things at all. Mythbusters showed that to erase a card you would need a magnet with such high Gauss that it would be gigantic in relation to the card.
And even still, you don't put the split ring on the same way each time--thereby negating the magnetic effect each and every time you put it on there.
If you look at the picture, it is the keyring that is feromagnetic. Not the keyfobs or keys. I've been using the magnetic hook for months with 3 vehicles: An Infiniti, Audi and Mercedes. The Audi and Infiniti fobs have no feromagnetic surfaces. The Mercedes keyfob is weakly magnetic on one side but it cannot support its own weight. You still need to use the key ring. The smart keys in the Audi and Mercedes are aluminum. The Infinitii is keyless entry.
In any case, nothing has happened to the switch, my key or key fob alarm remotes. Everything continues to work fine. Furthermore, I have not noticed that I have been found "more attractive" either. I had hoped this would have been an unintended consequence. :)
Try a magnet from an old hard drive.
It will probably hold up a frying pan!
Just kidding, surprised how many people don't read other peoples posts! Looks like a great I dea thaat I'll be doing once I'm in my new house. Thanks!
And no, the magnet is FINE to have here. They don't use magnets to store information in the fob.
This just makes the DIY that much better.
