Then Jesus said to the disciples, "There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was squandering his property. 2So he summoned him and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Give me an accounting of your management, because you cannot be my manager any longer.' 3Then the manager said to himself, 'What will I do, now that my master is taking the position away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. 4I have decided what to do so that, when I am dismissed as manager, people may welcome me into their homes.' 5So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he asked the first, 'How much do you owe my master?' 6He answered, 'A hundred jugs of olive oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it fifty.'7Then he asked another, 'And how much do you owe?' He replied, 'A hundred containers of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill and make it eighty.' 8And his master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the children of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than are the children of light. 9And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of dishonest wealth so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal homes.10"Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. 11If then you have not been faithful with the dishonest wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? 12And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own? 13No slave can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth."
There is great debate over the 'true' meaning of this parable. As a matter of fact, according to scholar Rev. William Loader, there are 100s of interpretations. Is it about dishonesty? money? responding to economic crisis? an example of radical discipleship? forgiveness?
As we get started, I think we need to back up and remember what exactly a parable is. One of the greatest church thinkers in the past 100 years, C.H. Dodd, offered this definition of a parable: "A parable is a metaphor or simile drawn from nature or common life, arresting the hearer by its vividness or strangeness, and leaving the mind in sufficient doubt about its precise application to tease it into active thought." (C.H. Dodd, Parables of the Kingdom, 1935, p. 5). Got it? No? Well, let me put it this way, a parable is a story that's not about what it says it's about and it's purpose is to get you to think.
The simple point I'm trying to make is that we must not forget - it is a parable! Much like last week's parable of The Lost Sheep wasn't about shepherding or sheep, just because this parable talks about money, it doesn't mean it is about money – or at least not just money.
So, as I began my inquiry into this passage, I realized quite quickly that it would be easy enough to be a bit complacent about my research and let it simply be about money - after all stewardship season is quickly upon us and it would be a great time to remind you that you are stewards of the gifts God places in your life and in deciding how you will return those gifts to God you should ask yourself, "am I thinking more about myself and my stuff or am I thinking more about my God? Am I putting God first in how I give, or am I trying to serve two masters?" I could do that, but I won't (at least not any more than I already did).
As I would later find out, interpreting this parable to simply be about our relationship with God and money, would have also been the easy way out...but for me, a bit less honest. As you can see from the title of this message, that is not where the Spirit, prayer, study and reflection took me...oh, and the fact that Friday was National Constitution Day. Ultimately, I ended up in waters that were much more dangerous to navigate.
Well, let me say this clearly. This is not meant to offend anyone, but it might. It is simply what I find to be a biblical perspective on the current zeitgeist (or culture) of our great nation. For the sake of transparency, I'm also going to do something I didn't think I'd ever do: name my political alignment. It's not Republican. It is not Democrat. It's definitely not Tea Party. I think all the parties have major issues. I am registered as an unaffiliated Independent - have my registration card with me if you'd like to see.
That all said, let's get back to our parable, a story that's not about what it says it's about – or at least not only about what it says it is about.
The last verse we read is a synopsis of this parable - hear that clearly, 'this parable'. It says you can't serve God and money. Now remember, it is a parable which means it is about more than what is talked about (kinda the point of parables). So, what could it be that this parable is actually about if it is not just money. Well, fortunately for us, Jesus also tells us what it is about right at the end of today's scripture - you can not serve two masters.
That's also part of the point of the First Commandment, you shall not have any other gods before God. This seems to be a pretty clear relationship. You can not serve two masters. YHWH, the God of Israel, is your God, so do not put any gods before YHWH. Do not worship anything more than God. Do not follow anything more than God. Do not let anything influence you more than God.
But we do, don't we?
It is worth noticing that this parable is surrounded by all sorts of stories about wealth, which in biblical times was practically the same thing as power. Truth be told, with a few exceptions, it is true today as well. It does not take much reflection or observation to conclude that the pursuit of money, the pursuit of power, leads people to do things they might not have done otherwise - after all, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Which brings us to politics. When we look at the political headlines, we can find a disturbingly increasing trend – co-opting God. A new friend who runs the blog libsandcons.com calls it playing the "God card." Pointing to headlines like the Koran burning, the Community Center and Mosque issue in New York City, and Glenn Beck at the Lincoln Memorial, he justifiably points to this disturbingly increasing trend, - co-opting God – people claiming to speak for God in speeches that are full of, as he puts it, "politically loaded rhetoric." He goes on to say, "They exploit the inspiration, hope, and history of God in order to accelerate an agenda." I would add that in doing so, they turn a religion of hope, love and peace into a religion of fear, hate and anger.
The fact that that is happening, while troubling, is not the issue I'd like to address (at least not directly). You see, I'm not so worried about the politicians, I'm worried about us. You shall have no other Gods before me – you cannot serve two masters.
It has been said that the word "politicians" comes from the roots of "poli" meaning many and "ticks" meaning blood suckers. Now that probably is a little harsh (mind you I said "a little") but it does make a point – politician will be politician – absolute power corrupts absolutely. That's why I'm not worried about them right now. I'm worried about us, the seemingly blind masses.
The First Amendment of our Constitution, among other things, prohibits the making of any law "respecting the establishment of religion," or "prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Implicit in it is the intentional lack of involvement in religion by the government. Now take note that it is a unidirectional definition of involvement. That is, it describes the relationship in one direction. It clearly states that the government will not get wrapped up in establishing or controlling religion. It does not define the involvement of religion in government.
Now we could get into all kind of arguments about the founding father's intent when in comes to the establishment of a separation between church and state and never come to an agreement, because both sides have some pretty valid points to make. But ultimately, as far as I'm concerned, whether they clearly established a separation of church and state or not is not the point.
Ultimately, the point is that it is all very murky...and that leaves room for too much to interpretation and since politicians will be politicians, they take advantage of that and when it serves them, they will...let me say that again, when it serves them, they WILL play "The God Card." But I'm not concerned with them, I'm concerned with us.
One of the hundreds of interpretations of today's scripture with which I mostly agree says that unlike many people try to make it, this is not a Kingdom of God parable (in other words, a parable about God), but rather it is a Wisdom parable (a parable about the world, about us). Taken that way, one thing we might take away from it is "don't let the things of this world rule you. In the end they will only hurt you, possibly destroy you. Focus instead on the eternal, the things of God, and you will receive your blessing."
That really applies well when thought of within our God and State dialogue. What matters to you more, our country or our God? Do the choices you make in regards to who you are and what you support have more to do with politicians and political parties or with God? Do the choices you make in regards to who you are and what you support have more to do with things of this world or the things of God?
Do not say that it is naïve to think that we can love everyone, even our enemies. It is not naïve; it is Christian. Do not say that it is politically naïve to be forgiving of those who hurt you. It is not naïve; it is Christian. Do not say that it is naïve to make sure the basic needs are met even for the least of these. It is not naïve; it is Christian.
As they play "The God Card," our politicians are going against what I believe to be the intent of the 1st Amendment, the government's intentional lack of involvement in religion. But I'm not worried about them, I'm worried about us. As we blindly follow them, we are going against what I believe to be the intent of the 1st Commandment, not serving two masters.
The Constitution limits the involvement of government in religion, but it does not limit each individual's ability to to make political choices based on biblical precepts. Why then...why then do we insist on practicing it the other way, allowing ourselves to be slaves to our political party's religious point of view, when both the Constitution and the Commandments tell us to do otherwise?
Luke 16, verse 13: No slave can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth." You can not serve God and the Republican party. You can not serve God and the Democratic Party. You can not serve God and the Tea Party. You will love the one and hate the other; you will serve the one and despise the other.
I say we get back to the basics, back to the Bible. Put no other gods before God. Do not try to serve to masters. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind; and love your neighbor as yourself. Some two thousand years ago a man named Jesus tried to tell us that if we could do those few little things, the world WOULD be a better place. That's something no government has been able to do in thousands of years of history.
So, what to do you say? Let's give it a try. Let's only follow God and see if we can make this world a better place.
There is also a Children's Message that goes with this message.

I did a search for ActivationHotkeyKey, but didn't see anyone with my problem, so here goes:
I'm running 1.1.3 128 stable on Win7 64.
Using the hotkey to open the echo window always opens it in the same position regardless of where it was when I minimized/closed it.
This does NOT occur if I open the window by clicking the tray icon. I use a dual monitor setup so I want echo on my 2nd mon while I work on my main one.
I like to close windows that aren't used at the moment, but I always have to drag the window over if I use the hotkey.
Strange that no one else has this issue?

Dawson City
Relive the Klondike Gold Rush
Visit historic Dawson City and relive the heady days of the Klondike Gold Rush. The lure of the Klondike drew thousands of young men―and some determined women―with the glint of gold in their eyes to Dawson City. Entrepreneurs keen to turn a dollar erected hastily constructed buildings with elaborate false fronts. Horses trotted through the muddy streets and dancehall tunes filled the air. Dawson City became a bustling commercial centre at the turn of the century, and for a time was the largest city north of San Francisco and west of Winnipeg.
A tight-knit town of 1,500 people and the Yukon's second largest community, Dawson City is a colourful place where you can still meet placer miners, dog mushers and other Klondike characters. Today, Dawson City is in many ways just as it was at the height of the Gold Rush in 1898. The streets of this authentic frontier town are lined with wooden boardwalks, and you can sense the grit, heartache and golden dreams of the Klondike Gold Rush as you meander down Dawson City's streets. A lively place bursting with heritage sites and attractions, there is lots to do in Dawson and the city hosts ;many visitor services, amenities and attractions.
Walk among the carefully restored buildings with costumed interpreters and feel like you're stepping back in time. Visit the Dawson City Museum, Dawson City Visitor Information Centre on Front Street, take a walking tour with Parks Canada, explore Dawson City Museum and Dänojà Zho Cultural Centre. During the Gold Rush, Dawson was home to a wide assortment of casinos, beer halls and brothels—try your hand at blackjack or take in a show at Diamond Tooth Gerties gambling hall. First Nations cultural experiences and wilderness adventures are an important part of the Klondike experience. Dawson City is a convenient base from which to explore the Dempster Highway to Tombstone Park, the Arctic Circle and North Yukon, and across the Yukon River to the Top of the World Highway.

What is happiness?
I just stumbled across this little animation:
and it got me thinking - what is happiness? Is it who you are, or who you know? Is it solitude or togetherness?
All of these things? None of the above?
I have my own definition, but am curious what yours are.
Comment deleted
Jun 28 2013: I tend to agree with you on personal happiness. I'd add that happiness is somehow linked with human dignity. The caveat, however, is that it is subjective. Happiness potential will vary from zero to a high degree of materialism.
Comment deleted
Jun 29 2013: Cannot agree more. Somehow, your philosophy is strikingly close to that of M.K.Gandhi.Jun 30 2013: This is such an important phrase, LaMar - "Human dignity in my opinion would be not getting your happiness at the expense of others."
Where is human dignity these days??
Johnny Atman
Jul 4 2013: What is happiness, not the definition of it, but the essence of or the substance, before it is fashioned into the conscious experience? Does happiness exist without the word happiness? How do you know when you are happy, or must someone tell you and educate you about it?
- +2
Can you desire happiness, like you desire a pair of shoes?
These are questions one must ask, not just believe that there is something called happiness, and the way to it is by doing this or that..
Carl Rogers and others have spoken about being Authentic. Being authentic is being without conflict.
But that requires complete honesty and I am afraid, honesty, like Billy Joel sings, "is such a lonely word/ every body is telling lies".
Honesty profits you nothing save the authenticity of your self. But without that, happiness is also "such a lonely word".
Our consciousness is profit driven, and we see profit as the basis of happiness rather than the cause of misery.
This is where humanity is wrong. Because happiness, authenticity, is universal.
Profit is not. It divides and creates misery and unhappiness. But we are blind to it.
Profit drives us to wars, to exploitation, to suffering. To violence, rape, stealing, lying, crime.
Is this so hard to see?
Jul 6 2013: I agree, Johnny, it's hard to define this personal state with a single word, especially one that has been so abused (see the thread with Edward Long below).
I tend to keep coming back to the consumerism sickness we are engulfed in now, and like you, see no way anyone can find true 'happiness' when the expectations for humankind are only slightly different than a herd of cattle, the difference being, we have bank accounts. I see it, clear as day. We can't be the only ones!!
Jul 6 2013: Hi Lizanne,
I am so grateful that a few of us do see it.
And sometimes, the few that see can steer the ones that don't to the light.
By example.
Bless youJun 30 2013: Daniel Kahneman said it best, " It turns out that the word "happiness" is just not a useful word anymore, because we apply it to too many different things. I think there is one particular meaning to which we might restrict it, but by and large, this is something that we'll have to give up and we'll have to adopt the more complicated view of what well-being is."
The origin of the word "happy" is, "favored by luck or fortune : fortunate

Jun 29 2013: Lizanne: Love this video. It reminds me of a saying that my grandmother used to tell me. She would say if you think you got it bad, take all of your problems and put them in a bag and then place them in the middle of the room with everybody else's problems. Now it's time to pick a bag. I'll bet you pick your bag back up.

And then there's the old saying "Happiness is not having what you want.....it's wanting what you have. "
And finally my saying.......I'm not a former victim....I'm a future survivor.
Jun 30 2013: Amy, your comment has filled me with happiness!!!! :)

Capital One "what is in your wallet?" ...Nothing, you took it all. Then I played the video again :) happy happy joy joy I sang along this time then I invited Capital One CEO over for my very last affordable going away to homeless shelter BBQ :) LOL They ate well! I'm glad we are still friends (most important)! We then put our BBQ sauced up lips together and all...OH, have I got a sequel to this video!!! The thoughts and laughter are uncontrollably flourishing! I have so much more. In the end I'm helping Jacque Fresco and Cap One invites me over for there last BBQ because all they have is money left to eat. Who wants to help me shoot the sequel?
Happiness comes from within.
Jul 1 2013: Vincent, thank you for this enjoyable comment!
You have touched on the very reason I posed this question in the fist place. I enjoyed the little video, but the whole part about happiness being dependent on how many friends you have kind of rubbed me the wrong way.
I love solitude and indulging the introvert in me, the times when I have been alone have been times where I have felt true contentment and joy (particularly when I was a kid). I have a gazillion 'friends' on Facebook, does that mean I should be happy? I have no desire to invite my neighbours over for a barbeque, firstly because I despise barbeques (too many food poisoning episodes), and secondly, because I know my neighbours and I would consider an evening with them a form of torture.
Maybe the 'knowing people' part is referring to opening up and welcoming each other, without prejudice. If that's what it is implying, then I absolutely agree. Gathering people as a sort of anti-sadness plan is, in my opinion, not the answer to happiness in any form.

Even if we are not experiencing pleasure we can be happy.
Happiness does not depend on outside factors, situation or cicumstances,
It lies and comes from with in.
Nobody can make us unhappy
Have belief, we can be happy no matter what.
We choose to be happy as a way of life and we need not wait for it to happen.
Happiness is harmony. Happiness is a state of mind where our body, mind and soul are in harmony.
Jun 30 2013: I agree, Adesh.
I think there is a difference between happiness, and things like joy or ecstasy.
When I think of happiness, I think of pure contentment, like you say, 'harmony'.

Jun 30 2013: There's that magic number three again, Edward!
So, I get the feeling you categorize the word 'happiness' together with other adjectives that say very little, like 'nice'? I get that - it is such a generalized emotion, it's in that pedagogic basic box of emotions, 'happy', 'sad', 'mad'. Says a lot, but at the same time so little... Am I right on this, or completely off?
Jun 30 2013: I think you are right, except about the word saying a lot. H is a diluted, overworked word which has become vague to the point of being meaningless. From Bob Ross' "happy little clouds", to the American Indian's "happy hunting ground", the word has been spread so thin that it no longer carries a substantial definition. I assume your question is asking what the word means historically, linguistically, and etymologically, rather than what has it evolved into. As an example, I remember a manager at my place of employment saying in an all-hands meeting, "I am happy to confirm for you all that only 15% of you will be impacted by the downsizing!" Happy? Really? Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "To fill the hour-- that is happiness."
Jun 30 2013: Ok, I get exactly what you mean - it is an abused word, paper-thin. Your example about the manager is an excellent one of how this word has evolved into meaning in fact the exact opposite of what it should mean. It's become insincere, no linger authentic, lost its integrity as a description.
I fact, my question has nothing to do with what the word means in a historical or linguistic sense, nor how it has evolved, and been misused. I didn't even consider those aspects when I posed it. I really enjoy that you have interpreted it this way.
How about if I ask you instead, "What rocks your boat"?

Happiness is a temporary reward for correct behavior.
Jun 28 2013: However fleeting there is a lesson there?Jul 9 2013: Damn shame I cant answer this Lizanne, I really want to, but the speech is going to be use in a screenplay. So when/if the movie ever comes out, I'll let you know. :)
Till they be happy :)Jul 9 2013: A good question - and you'll probably have as many answers and people answering. Personally, happiness is a long-term state - it is more than fleeting 'yay' or excitement about a specific somethings, it is an overall contentment that you like who you are, where you are, what you do, and who you're with. Sure there are up days and down ones, but for me, happiness is a choice to see the good, to do good. My ultimate happiness is when I hug my 13kg cat!Jul 7 2013: Happiness is being content with the life God gave you and the situations he places you in. A happy person does not compare him/herself to the next person. They are happy with themselves not "So and so is smarter than me" "So and so is prettier than me" none of that; a happy person looks him/herself in the mirror and say "I am the smartest" or "I am the prettiest." One thing a happy person doesn't do is seek the opinion nor the approval of others. If a person doesn't like another individual for who they are, they would just keep it moving not dwell on the reason why someone doesn't like them. Happiness starts from within then works itself from there.Jul 6 2013: being happy is not just an expression it is a feeling from within.one needs to be satisfied with oneself and when we achieve this we be happy when we reach our goals we be happy but as a human we live a life with compromises and challenges that come everyday and when one learns how to overcome them and transform them into happy things one is happy and when he comes home after a long tiring day and busy day he just needs a person who helps him/her to get at ease and relaz and enjoy the life we need to live our lives and do evrything that we wanted to do. i cant say that i am happy but i always try to be and i does help my friends help me and eventually all the burdens go away and a sense of ecstasy comes in...lolJul 5 2013: I tend to think it's kind of hard for human beings to be happy because we are mortal, even if we're happy today we know that down the road there's sickness, old age, death.
Jul 6 2013: True, we face the inevitable... We could also get hit by a bus and not have to deal with sickness and old age though - if that makes you happy...!
I find happiness lies in things that are intangible, so minuscule yet so gigantic. The here and now.
Look at a child, they will teach you what happiness is.Jul 6 2013: actually dude getting old is not sad you be happy that you will leave this sinful world and go to the heavenly father...well i know its hard to believe but we have too..cheersJul 4 2013: Happiness is when you get what you didn't expect.
so expect less and hope more :)
Jul 6 2013: Nothing better than a genuine serendipity, agreed!!Jul 2 2013: I think happiness comes down to a persons perspective, context and attitude to life. Undoubtedly too, it will mean different things to different people. By this I mean someone may be so happy when they are skydiving, yet to the person who is afraid of heights, they would be horrified at the prospect and far from happy.
Therefore, happiness must be an individualistic differentiated experience. You could generalise about what it is, however the elite athlete who is miserable because they are 1/10 of a second too slow would be at complete odds to the bulk of people who would be so happy to be that quick!
I am sure that I have met people too who are happy, being miserable,complaining and arguing... the types who always see the glass as being only half full and would probably even complain if they won the lottery!
Personally tho, I think those people with a positive outlook on life are generally happier than those who don't! : D
Jul 6 2013: Absolutely. Those with a positive and realistic view, I think. I tend to get criticized for always seeing the silver lining in any given situation, but it is not an intentional thing, I sincerely see a positive aspects, which helps me analyze my mistakes in such a way, that I really have no regrets. An opportunity to learn, is an opportunity to grow!! It doesn't get much better than that.Jun 29 2013: Happiness is harmony.
Happiness is a state of mind where our body, mind and soul are in harmony.

Happiness is the short-time feeling of things being a-step-better for keeping our DNA alive.
Otherwise, there is no human in the world.
Jun 30 2013: I like how you connect happiness with evolution - those who are fundamentally unhappy will probably be less likely to form a family, wouldn't you say? Happiness is essential to our reproduction!Jun 29 2013: A few days ago,I read an article'The Meat in the Familial Sandwich'.After fishished the reading,I couldn't help smiling.Yes,I have a chance to being'The Meat in the Familial Sandwich' is definitely a happiness in my life.
Jun 30 2013: Hahahaha! That is so wonderful!! Yup, I often feel like the slice of maternal salami smooshed between two slices of whole-wheat children!!Jun 28 2013: Those moments when you weren't thinking about it.
And, when you can safely say "life is good"Jun 28 2013: I think that, just as with any other emotion, happiness is almost wholly dependent on the person. To address whether it's solitude or togetherness it totally depends on the person. There's a large range going from introverts to extroverts. I think for any happiness though, there needs to be a sense of satisfaction or completion. It'd be hard to be happy with unfinished projects or work. For me, when I conclude on an idea that I've been thinking about for a while, it makes me happy (sort of in the satisfaction category). Remembering the good in the past and thinking about some good things that are likely to happen in the future (upcoming get together, anticipated promotion, etc.) can also promote happiness.
Jun 30 2013: Thank you, Kai, for bringing up introverts and extraverts!
Susan Cain's talk 'The Power of Introverts':
Personally, I consider myself what Susan calls an 'ambivert' - depending on my mood, or circumstances (both internal and external), I can find happiness on both ends of the spectrum. When I am creating, writing music, I need solitude and the freedom to self-reflect en discover. In my own experience, I agree with Susan, that a creative process cannot take place without solitude. But the logical next step for me, is to perform in a very extrovert way. On stage, I can also experience happiness by getting my message across to others through singing and entertaining.
To me, happiness is dependent not only on the person, but on the situation.

Parting Shot: Ehud Lavski Shows The Other Side Of The 'Space Invaders' Story
Since 1978 fans around the globe have been blasting away at the pixelated aliens of Taito's Space Invaders and its numerous sequels and re-makes. Like most classic arcade games, the title is more about fundamental gameplay and strategy than story, meaning few (if any) took a breath from blasting their falling foes to ponder their motivations.

Nail polish brings out the artist in everyone, and I think a bold nail polish is a perfect (and budget-friendly) spring accessory! To pull off the trend all you need is some nail-spiration and a few pointers.
1. Get some inspiration
Checkout pantone.com for their Spring Fashion Color Report.
Pinterest and Instagram have a ton of images nail polish images from perfectly painted solids to elaborate DIY nails. One of my favorite nail art instagramers is @sfpartynails, a San Francisco-based nail artist who hosts pop-up polish parties!
B. Cheeky Chops by Butter London
C. via @sfpartynails
D. On The Beach by Deborah Lippmann
E. Butler Please by Essie via pinterest.com
F. Pink by RGB
H. Bond With Whomever by Essie via adrmoda.blogspot.com
2. Don't be a hoarder
Once opened the quality of the polish will diminish after 2-3 years so don't forget to replace old bottles. (Click here to find out the proper way to dispose of old nail polish)
3. Buy a buffer
Do yourself a favor and start your spring mani with a clean even canvas. Base coats will also help to prime your nails before you lay down your color.
4. Get comfortable
Sit at a table and try resting your painting hand on a higher surface like a book so that you hand remains steady.
5. Choose quality
Highly pigmented polishes work best for making designs or patterns because fewer coats are needed to show the color contrast. Butter London is a perfect example of a highly pigmented opaque polish brand.
6. Keep a polish remover pen and/or pads on hand
This way, you'll be able to clean up any mistakes/remove excess polish from the skin around your nails quickly and easily.
The best part of freshly painted nails is sharing them! Share your nail looks or other tips below.

Gallery: The Urb Garden Helps Urban Gardeners Grow Food at Home
Lately it seems that everyone is fixated on food — its production, its enhancement, its delivery and consumption, and ultimately our evolving relationship with it. Amidst this food frenzy, progressive designers have sought new ways to grow food easily and in tight spaces. The Urb Garden, designed by Xavier Calluaud, is a vertical garden outfitted with modular cubby holes and an integrated worm farm, making it a perfect all-in-one solution for urban gardeners. As an added bonus, when fully planted, the Urb Garden looks a lot like an attractive green wall.
Designer Xavier Calluaud illustrates the Urb Garden's simple step-by-step process. Scraps of food are deposited into the worm farm, creating nutritious fertilizer. Water is added and the liquid fertilizer is delivered to the plants via a drip system. The water drains down the tank and then is pumped back up to be used with the next batch of fertilizer. As the plants grow, modular bins are easily removed for harvesting and re-potting.
Modern society suffers from a lack of intimacy with its food, and the Urb Garden is designed to tackle the separation while also getting rid of the waste caused by commercial food sources. By growing food at home, consumers utilizing an Urb Garden can reduce their use of food packaging (by not buying their produce in plastic containers) and food waste (by composting and only picking what they are eating) in one fell swoop.
So if you live in a dense metropolis and are itching to rid yourself of the modern convenience of commercial food, the Urb Garden is sure to be a practical and eco-conscious answer to growing your own healthy produce.

Worm composting, when done correctly, doesn't smell at all. I love the design and look of this product but I wonder how many people would actually use it. The UrBin Grower is a simple solution to anyone looking to start a garden but doesn't have the luxury of space.

Great potential! Let's all keep an open mind, grow what we can, and keep those creative ideas coming!

[…] Garden space is hard to come by in dense urban places, so enterprising urban gardeners have to get creative. Formwerkz, a Singapore-based architecture firm, was asked by one of their clients to design a home that maximized the garden space on their 300 sq meter lot. The resulting house includes a vertical living wall and green roof that is not only beautiful and functional, but also serves to improve the building's performance. […]

Does it smell? 'Cause all the time I think about a wormfarm (never seen one in front of me), I assume it smells, as it's fed with garbage, no?
February 3, 2010 at 9:24 am
I don't think anyone is pretending that bobocop. The point is to increase people's participation in the production of food, to increase their relationship with their environment which helps develop responsibility. Also we cannot forget that small-scale gardening is a relaxing past-time and the commitment of having nurtured your plants and watched them grow is a very attainable goal. Psychology tells us that attainable focused goals are what make people happy.
I think this is a really great thing for people who live in urban settings because everyone I know in my town has a garden and you just can't do that in the city. My neighbours are always offering up fresh veggies as gifts – its good why are you being a downer.
This is great! Very aestheticaly pleaseing which I think a lot of other verticle designs are lacking.

This is fine for herbs, but for any vegetables that require long periods of sunlight, you run into serious issues. Vertical gardening is a nice idea, but always remember the plants have to get their energy from somewhere. Only if you live in a penthouse or on the south face of a building (I'm assuming norther hemisphere here), will you get multiple hours of direct sunlight. if you live on the east or west side of a building, you'll only get a few hours, and if you live on the north side, you won't get any direct sunlight! I'm all for urban gardening as a way of getting people to better understand how food is grown and the challenges it presents, but don't pretend that this will change the world. There is no way to get economies of scale going with individual gardens, so you quickly run into the limits and would have no hope of providing for yourself with vertical gardening.
On a final note, most commercially produced potting soil add black carbon to the mix to give it that black color and to improve nutrient retention. However, black carbon is a petroleum product. So don't forget to add that to your energy calculations if you want to figure out if you're "being green" by doing this.

So I think this looks cool, but it appears to just be a design project, and not actually in production anywhere? I don't see info about actually BUYING one in any of the articles on it. Any leads on whether it's getting manufacturered?
January 28, 2010 at 4:23 pm
growing food at home needn't be this complicated – just a container, compost and vegetable, fruit or herb plants – put on a windowsill, balcony, patio or by you front or back door. Complete kits ready to go from £12.50 available at http://www.boxedgardens.co.uk
January 26, 2010 at 8:09 pm
my guess is that its supposed to be next to a window or on a patio?
January 26, 2010 at 5:06 pm
Fertilizer system seems to be very well planned, however, isn't this missing one crucial element? How does sunlight penetrate inside the boxes?

It might seem hard to believe, but someone actually wanted to take an ax to funny-man Seth Rogen -- gasp! "Omg! Insider" contributor Kristen Aldridge was on the red carpet Thursday night for the second annual Hilarity for Charity event, established by Seth and his wife, Lauren Miller. The event benefits the National Alzheimer's Association and helps create awareness of the disease with the younger generation.
When Kristen caught up with Seth and Lauren, the star dished about the time Emma Watson hit him with an ax in his upcoming film, "This is the End." The 31-year-old said, "She beat me up pretty good, and when she hit me it looked so real that everyone thought she actually hit me."
Check out this vid to see how many takes it took the "Harry Potter" star to hit him hard.

Catching Hell
A look at an infamous 2003 incident that saw a spectator unwittingly disrupt a catch at a Chicago Cubs game. With five outs remaining in Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS, a foul ball descended from the Chicago sky, destined for the glove of left fielder Moises Alou. But Chicagoan Steve Bartman fatefully deflected it from his seat in the stands and Cubs fans found someone new to blame for their cursed century without a World Series title. Here, we explore the psychology of die-hard sports fans, the phenomenon of scapegoating, and the hysteria that turned mild-mannered Bartman into the most hated man in Chicago.

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Woody Sherman A camera that's as responsive and quick as your subject Tired of snapping out-of-focus photos from the sidelines? Or, once you get home, discovering that your kid is too small to recognize in any of your pictures? The Cyber-shot® DSC-HX200V will get you close enough to snap all the details on the field with a powerful 30X Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar optical zoom lens that zooms to an incredible 60X in Clear Image mode. The 10 frames-per-second continuous shooting mode lets you hold down the shutter button and get 10 consecutive shots of the game-winning goal. High-speed auto focus makes sure that all your photos of your star athlete are sharp and detailed. And the light-sensitive lens and powerful flash will give you extra support in low light situations. The Sony Cyber-shot® DSC-HX200V has an optical viewfinder and a tilting rear LCD display Get closer to the people you love The camera finds the faces in your frame and automatically adjusts its settings to give you crisp, attractive photos of friends and family. Capture fleeting smiles with the help of "smile shutter" mode, which automatically snaps a picture when it spots a grin. If your subject starts to squint as you take a photo, an anti-blink function snaps two quick shots, and then records only the one with your subject's eyes wide open. And while the camera has many helpful smart auto features, you'll appreciate the many manual settings options when you want to explore some new creative directions. 3D Panoramic photos and 1080p HD movie mode This camera boasts plenty of other cool features, too. Your zoomed-in shots will be rock-stable, thanks to an optical viewfinder that lets you naturally hold the camera close, and Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with 3-way active mode. It enhances Sony's regular SteadyShot technology by additionally compensating for the effects of clockwise/counter-clockwise rotation on your shot. The big, high-resolution 3" LCD screen is angled and adjustable, so you can tilt it wherever you need to when you're framing your shots. You can create 3D panoramic photos that reach beyond the scope of an ordinary wide-angle lens by sweeping the camera horizontally or vertically across your scene the 'HX200V stitches several images together in-camera to form one seamless 3D photo that you can check out on your 3D TV when you get home. (You'll need 3D glasses, too.) The DSC-HX200V also offers an impressive HD movie mode, which lets you shoot ultra high-definition 1080/60p footage of all your special events.

Takes good photos, and better video than my camcorder. (Camcorder for sale!) it's a bit heavier than I might have preferred. I purchased a refurbished unit, while it works fine Crutchfield sent it w/o the power cord...they are having trouble finding a replacement part. Was this review helpful? Yes No GREAT TRAVEL CAMERA Written By John, Tempe, AZ on Tuesday, May 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) All the advantages of a DSLR without the weight and high price. The super zoom is essential in catching those distant shots when traveling and the "traditional" view finder means you can take great pictures when the sun is too bright to use the LCD screen. Pros: Light weight, super zoom, view finder Cons: No thread for filters 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No HX200V - nice, but there is a better choice... Written By Dom, NJ on Thursday, December 13, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent video. Snapshots were inconsistent though. Some were very nice, others not so much. Image quality is the issue. If you don't crop pictures, this wont be a problem so much. But if you like to crop, you will notice alot of smudging in the picture. Very fast camera. Also Night / dark shots were awesome w/o any post processing. I also liked that the battery power left is displayed in minutes...not just some bar divided into 3 or 4 parts. The manual is actually built into the camera - which was very nice. In picture taking mode, you can go to any icon on the screen and pull up a help menu index from the manual to find info on it. I am returning it, and getting the Panasonic FZ200 instead. Its alittle bit more in cost, but, the quality of the picture is better, and the grainy crop photos are not so much a problem. Also, the image stabilization on the Panny is superior. Pros: - battery time displayed - nice night pics - beautiful video - very fast lense & focusing - picture quality is good...but dont crop it! Cons: - cropping pics shows alot of smudging in the pic - Image stablization was good - until, I had the opportunity to use the Panny and realized its really not THAT good - especially when zoomed all the way in 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No A good choice if you want DSLR-like photos without many lens with you Written By 450er, Schenectady, NY on Thursday, December 13, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Lots of shooting modes to be selected, easy for a beginner, color saturation is good, beginner like me can take photos with similar quality as DSLR, but good for me since I'm lazy to have so many lens with me and change them. No Canon or Nikon to benchmark, just becuase I already have Sony DV and I hate to create another new software in my computer. I thought the battery is the same as DV CX250 but unfortunately they are different. If you are a beginners like me, it's not easy to really tell the difference among major brands, and they just get chipper and chipper with time. So, just go ahead to buy one and enjoy NOW! Pros: Easy use to a starter to have decent quality of photos. Cons: Camera cap is a bad design. You're worrying if the zoom len is damaged when turn it on and forget to take off the cap.

The LCD brightness control lets you set the brightness from 1 (dark) to 5 (bright). Viewfinder: In addition to the 3" LCD screen, the camera includes a 0.2" optical viewfinder (201k-dots equivalent). You can switch between the LCD screen and the viewfinder manually with the Finder/LCD button. The display will automatically switch to viewfinder as your bring the camera close to your eyes, and to the LCD screen when you move it away. Dual Media: This camera has 105 MB of internal memory. This camera is also compatible with the following recording media: Memory Stick Duo (still images only), Memory Stick PRO Duo (Mark 2 only for movie recording), Memory Stick Pro-HG Duo, SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards (Class 4 or higher). Image Recording Formats: The camera records still images in JPEG format and 3D still images in MPO format. Moving images can be recorded in AVCHD format (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) with Dolby Digital 2ch audio or MPEG-4 with AAC stereo audio. Image Sensor: For optimal image quality, the camera uses a 7.76mm (1/2.3") color Exmor R CMOS image sensor with approximately 18.9-million total pixels and 18.2-million effective pixels. Lens: The camera is equipped with a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* (T-star) 30x zoom lens. It has a focal length of 27-810mm (35mm equivalent) for recording still images, 29-870mm for recording 16:9 movies, and 36-1080mm for 4:3 movies (when Movie SteadyShot is set to Standard). The aperture range is F2.8-8.0 (W) and F5.6-8.0 (T). Clear Image/Digital Zoom: In addition to the 30x optical zoom, you can reach higher zoom scales by engaging the Clear Image Zoom or the Digital Zoom, or both. The amount of zoom depends upon the image size as follows: Image Size Optical Zoom Digital Zoom (includes 30x Optical Zoom) Clear Image Zoom Maximum Zoom Scale 18M 30x 30x 60x 120x 10M 30x 40x 80x 161x 5M 30x 56x 113x 226x VGA 30x 229x 459x 459x 16:9 (13M) 30x 30x 60x 120x 16:9 (2M) 30x 76x 153x 306x Optical SteadyShot: With Optical SteadyShot image stabilization, the DSC-HX200V uses a built-in gyro sensor to compensate for shaky hands, minimize blur, brighten images, and allow flash-free shooting to preserve the mood. Active 3-way stabilization reduces camera shake vertically and horizontally, as well as rotational. Still Image Sizes: When recording digital still images, the DSC-HX200V allows you to choose from six image sizes: 18M (4896 x 3672) 10M (3648 x 2736) 5M (2592 x 1944) VGA (640 x 480) 16:9-13M (4896 x 2752) 16:9-2M (1920 x 1080) 3D Image Sizes: The camera can record 3D still images in two sizes: 4:3 18M (4896 x 3672) and 16:9 13M (4896 x 2752). To view 3D images, you will need to connect the camera to a 3D-capable TV via HDMI. 3D Sweep Panorama: You can record multiple images while moving the camera in an arc, either horizontally or vertically. These images can be compiled into a 3D image, and played back on a 3D TV. The available image sizes include: Standard: Horizontal: 4912 x 1080 Vertical: 3424 x 1920 Wide: Horizontal: 7152 x 1080 Vertical: 4912 x 1920 High Resolution: Horizontal: 10480 x 4096 Recording Movies: Besides recording still images, you can also record movies in AVCHD or MPEG-4 formats.

Maximum MPEG-4 movie file size is approximately 2 GB. Burst/Bracket Modes: The camera offers two multiple-image shooting modes: Burst: The burst mode lets you shoot multiple images when you press and hold down the shutter release. Up to 10 images can be recorded at the highest resolution (18.2M) at approximately 10 frames per second. Focus, White Balance, and Exposure Value (EV) are set with the first image. Bracket: The bracket mode lets you shoot a series of 3 images, each with a different exposure setting--one at normal exposure, one under exposed, and one over exposed. You can select three different step values: 0.3 EV, 0.7 EV, or 1.0 EV. You can also choose a bracket mode with the white balance at normal, shifted toward blue, and shifted toward red. Self-Timer: You can set the Self-Timer mode to a 10-second or 2-second delay so you can be in the picture. Other timer modes include two Self-Portrait Timer modes which will capture the image 2 seconds after the face of one person or two people are detected, a self-timer continuous shooting mode (10 continuous frames after 10 second delay), and a self-timer bracket shooting (3 bracket photos, each with different exposures, after 10 second delay). Focus Modes: You can select from the following focusing methods: Multi AF: The camera focuses in nine areas around the center of the frame. This method is helpful when your subject is not centered in the frame. Center AF: The camera focuses on a subject in the center of the frame. By pressing the shutter release halfway, you can lock the focus on your subject and recompose your shot with the subject off center. Spot AF: The camera focuses on a very small area in the center of the frame. Manual: Allows you to focus on the subject manually by turning the focus ring. Tracking Focus: If you are trying to photograph a moving subject, you can use the tracking focus feature to keep the subject in focus as it moves around the frame. If Face Detection and tracking focus are used at the same time, the camera will track a selected face if it is registered with the camera. AF Illuminator: The AF (auto focus) Illuminator briefly provides fill light to focus more easily on a subject in dark surroundings. You can set the AF Illuminator to Auto or Off. Face Detection: Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and controls flash, focus, exposure, and white balance to deliver accurate, natural skin tones with reduced red-eye. It can also give priority to children or adults. You can also select and register an individual's face to be given priority. Anti-Blink Function: The Anti-blink function works to help counter blinking and squinting. When the camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images, recording only the photo with less squinting. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot so you can determine whether or not you need to take another shot. Smile Shutter Mode: The Smile Shutter technology automatically detects and captures a smiling face. Simply activate by pressing the Smile Shutter button and the camera will capture a smile the moment it happens. You can adjust the degree of Smile Detection Sensitivity as desired. Scene Recognition: Scene Recognition mode automatically detects eight different types of scenes and selects the appropriate camera settings: Portrait, Infant, Night Portrait, Night Scene, Backlight Portrait, Backlight, Landscape, Spotlight, Low Light, and Macro. You can select from Auto or Advanced Scene Recognition modes. Shooting Modes: Using the top-mounted Mode Dial, you can select from the following shooting modes: Intelligent Auto Mode (iAuto): Allows you to shoot still images with the settings adjusted automatically. Superior Auto Mode (iAuto+): Allows you to shoot still images with higher quality than with Intelligent Auto mode. Program Auto: Allows you to shoot with the exposure adjusted automatically (both the shutter speed and aperture value). You can also select various settings using the menu. Shutter Speed Priority: You can shoot still images after adjusting the shutter speed manually. The camera will determine the aperture setting. Aperture Priority: You can shoot still images after adjusting the aperture setting manually. The camera will determine the shutter speed. Manual Exposure: You can set the exposure manually. The shutter speed can be set between 1/1600 and 30 seconds. The aperture (F value) can be set between F2.8 and F8.0 (Wide Angle) or between F5.6 and F8 (Telephoto). Memory Recall: You can set and store often-used modes and numeric settings for recall at a later time. iSweep Panorama Mode: Multiple images are shot while the camera is moving, and these images are compiled into a single panoramic image. Movie Mode: Allows you to record Full HD AVCHD or MPEG-4 movies with stereo audio. 3D Still Images: Images are recorded using 3D functions and can be played back stereoscopically on a 3D TV. Scene Selection Modes: You can choose from the following Scene Selection modes: Soft Skin: Allows you to shoot faces with smooth-looking skin Background Defocus: Shoot images with the background out of focus for greater definition of the subject. Soft Snap: Allows you to shoot images with a softer atmosphere for portraits, flowers, etc. Anti-Motion Blur: Shoot indoor shots without using flash. Landscape: This mode is used for shooting landscapes at a distance. Backlight Correction HDR: Shoots 3 images with different exposures and combines them into a single image with a greater range of gradation. Night Portrait: This mode is used for shooting people in the foreground at night. Night Scene: This mode is used for shooting a distant subject at night. Hand-held Twilight: Shoot night scenes with less noise without using a tripod. High Sensitivity: The camera shoots without flash in low light, reducing blur. Any size image available. Sensitivity increased up to ISO 3200. Gourmet: Shoots food arrangements in delicious color. Pet: Allows you to shoot images of your pet with the best settings. Beach: This mode is for shooting at seaside or the lakeside. Snow: This mode shoots whitish scenes brightly. Fireworks: This mode allows you to record fireworks in all their splendor. Advanced Sports Shooting: Allows you to shoot fast movements such as in sports; while the shutter button is pressed halfway, subject motion is predicted and focus is adjusted automatically. Exposure Compensation: Besides auto exposure, you can adjust the exposure from +2.0EV to -2.0EV in 1/3 stop increments. Built-In Flash: The camera's built-in flash features a range of 11-7/8" to 40' 8-1/4" with the zoom set to wide and 6' 6-3/4" to 19' 4-3/8" with the zoom set to telephoto. The flash settings include: Auto: the flash automatically strobes when the surroundings are dark On: the flash strobes with every shot Slow Synchro: the flash is used regardless of the amount of ambient light, but the shutter speed is slower under dark conditions, allowing you to clearly shoot a background that is out of the flash-lit area. Off: the flash does not operate Red-eye Reduction: The flash pre-strobes before shooting to reduce the red-eye phenomenon. You can set to Auto (when Face Detection is activated), On, or Off. Metering Modes: You can select Spot, Center-weighted, or Multi-pattern Metering. Spot metering lets you adjust the exposure to the subject, even when the subject is a backlit or when there is strong contrast between the subject and the background. Center-weighted metering measures the center of the image and determines the exposure based on the brightness of the subject. When multi-pattern metering is used, the image is divided into multiple regions and metering is performed in each region. The camera judges the subject position and background brightness, and determines a well-balanced exposure. White Balance: When the white balance is set to auto, the white balance is set automatically in response to the condition of the subject, and the overall color balance is adjusted. When shooting under special lighting conditions, you can select the settings manually. When using flash, you can select the flash white balance mode. The white balance can also be set to Incandescent, Fluorescent 1 (white fluorescent), Fluorescent 2 (natural white fluorescent), Fluorescent 3 (day white fluorescent), Daylight, Cloudy, Flash, One Push (adjust white balance depending on the light source) or One Push Set (memorizes the basic white color which will be used). Grid Lines: The cameras on-screen grid lines make it easy to set a subject's horizontal and vertical position. Histogram: A histogram is a graph showing the brightness of an image. The graph display indicates a bright image when skewed to the right side, and a dark image when skewed to the left side. In-camera Function Guide: An on-screen function guide text/icon display makes it easy to learn the camera functions that give you greater creative freedom to adjust photo settings. The function guide can be turned on or off as desired. Global Positioning System (GPS): The HX200V has a built-in GPS receiver which receives data from multiple Global Positioning satellites orbiting overhead. With the GPS receiver, precise positioning information, including coordinates, can be displayed on the camera and imbedded into the still images and movies you record. In addition, the GPS receiver can automatically adjust the camera's internal clock. Date and Time: Each time you take a picture, the camera records the date and time. The date and time are not superimposed on the picture, instead saved in a data file along with the image. Playback Features View Modes: The Sony DCR-HX200V's View Mode allows you to select your recorded images and movies by date, folder (stills), or folder (movies). Auto Orientation: When the camera is rotate to shoot a portrait (vertical) image, the camera records it position change and displays the image in the portrait position. Index View: In addition to viewing images one-by-one in full screen, you can view multiple images at once in the index view mode. The index feature lets you to display a total of 16 (4 x 4) or 25 (5 x 5) images. Slide Show: The Slide Show function lets you play back images one after the other. You can select from the following slide show effects (Simple, Nostalgic, Stylish, or Active). Each effect has a preset music soundtrack, or you can choose from the 4 selections. A slide show without music can also be chosen. The interval between the pictures can be adjusted, allowing you to choose 1, 3, 5, and 10 seconds or automatic to suit the selected effect. You can select Folder play (all images in the selected folder), All play (all images on the memory card), or This Date (all images from selected date). When repeat is selected, the images are replayed in a continuous loop. Playback Zoom: You can enlarge a recorded still image up to 8x the size of the original image. Once the image is zoomed, you can pan left to right and up or down through the image. Rotating Images: Recorded images can be rotated 360-degrees in 90-degree increments on the camera's LCD screen. Retouching Still Images: You can add effects or make corrections to a recorded images and then record it as a new file while the original image is retained. You can use the following features to edit your recorded images: Trimming: playback zoom is performed on the image and part of the image is cropped Red Eye Correction: corrects the red-eye phenomenon caused by flash Unsharp Masking: sharpens the image within a chosen frame Deleting/Protecting Images: You can delete a selected image, or you can delete all the unprotected images at once.

Phoenix Mars Mission, http://phoenix.lpl.arizona.edu
NASA Data Shed New Light About Water and Volcanoes on Mars, http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/phoenix/news/phx20100909.html
NASA Phoenix Results Point to Martian Climate Cycles, http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/phoenix/news/phoenix-20090702.html
Favorable opportunities to launch missions to Mars come about every 26 months, but the 2007 launch opportunity was the best in several years for sending a surface mission to the northern region on Mars. The Phoenix mission took advantage of this opportunity and launched a lander with a robotic arm to Mars on 4 August 2007 on board a three-stage Delta II launch vehicle.
NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter found evidence in early 2002 that the northern region on Mars shelters high concentrations of water ice mixed with the soil just beneath the surface. Phoenix was sent with a payload of science instruments particularly appropriate for examining an environment of ice and soil. Phoenix's robotic arm was designed to dig trenches, scoop up soil and water ice samples, and deliver these samples to the Thermal and Evolved Gas Analyzer (TEGA) and the Microscopy, Electrochemistry and Conductivity Analyzer (MECA) instruments for detailed chemical and geological analysis.
Data from Phoenix suggest liquid water has interacted with the Martian surface throughout the planet's history and into modern times. The research also provides new evidence that volcanic activity has persisted on the Red Planet into geologically recent times, several million years ago.
Phoenix precisely measured isotopes of carbon and oxygen in the carbon dioxide of the Martian atmosphere. Isotopes are variants of the same element with different atomic weights. "Isotopes can be used as a chemical signature that can tell us where something came from, and what kinds of events it has experienced," said Paul Niles, a space scientist at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. This chemical signature suggests that liquid water primarily existed at temperatures near freezing and that hydrothermal systems similar to Yellowstone's hot springs have been rare throughout the planet's past. Measurements concerning carbon dioxide showed Mars is a much more active planet than previously thought. The results imply Mars has replenished its atmospheric carbon dioxide relatively recently through volcanic emissions, and the carbon dioxide has reacted with liquid water present on the surface.
The mission's biggest surprise was finding a multi-talented chemical named perchlorate in the Martian soil. "With perchlorate, for example, we see links to atmospheric humidity, soil moisture, a possible energy source for microbes, even a possible resource for humans" said Michael Hecht of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. Perchlorate, which strongly attracts water, makes up a few tenths of a percent of the composition in all three soil samples analyzed by Phoenix's wet chemistry laboratory. Perchlorate could pull humidity from the Martian air. At higher concentrations, it might combine with water as a brine that stays liquid at Martian surface temperatures. Some microbes on Earth use perchlorate as food. Human explorers might find it useful as rocket fuel or for generating oxygen.
Another surprise from Phoenix was finding ice clouds and precipitation more Earth-like than anticipated. The lander's Canadian laser instrument used for studying the atmosphere detected snow falling from clouds.
Phoenix's cameras also returned more than 25,000 pictures from sweeping vistas to near the atomic level using the first atomic force microscope ever used outside Earth.
"Not only did we find water ice, as expected, but the soil chemistry and minerals we observed lead us to believe this site had a wetter and warmer climate in the recent past -- the last few million years -- and could again in the future," said Phoenix Principal Investigator Peter Smith of the University of Arizona, Tucson.
Phoenix ended communications in November 2008 as the approach of Martian winter depleted energy from the lander's solar panels.

- Description
Are you tired of working harder than your drill? Are you tired of leaving burn marks on your wood from drilling too slow and heating up the bit? Then leave the drudgery behind by putting a brand new edge on all those old drill bits lying around your shop.
The versatile Drill Doctor 500 X will sharpen your dull drill bits from 3/32" to 1/2" in diameter (English, metric, and letter sizes) and both 118 degree and 135 degree point angles with the standard equipment chuck (DD-2100). An optional chuck (DD-0100)allows you to sharpen bits up to 3/4" diameter. You can sharpen High Speed Steel Jobber Bits, Carbide Tipped Bits, Masonry Bits, Cobalt, and Titanium drill bits. You can even add a split point to any drill bit to increase your drilling speed by back cutting the cutting edge of the bit.
One piece alignment improves the precision of the ground angles. Longer jaws with guides hold the bits more securely so that even the smallest do not twist during sharpening. The Drill Doctor 500 X has a cast aluminum shuttle for durability. It comes with the 3/32" to 1/2" chuck (DD-2100), a hub wrench (DD-1340), 180 grit diamond wheel (DD1320), user's guide and instructional DVD.

What are some good TEDTalks about design that helps people?
I am starting this program called Make The Change in order to help students give back to community, mainly design students.
I am looking for any TED talk that talks about how Design helps people
Thanks in advance for your help!
Altaf Zaki
Nov 3 2012: Hi Pedro, I appreciate it is a great topic. Students are actually young learning mindsets who need to learn and understand the knowledge (anything which exist in the nature, has +ves and -ves values, properties and qualities) plus how it works and how it can be utilized for growth, construction, and development, that is what I called is the "Knowledge".
- +2
For designing the minds, we have to think differently or diversely to explore the potential discoveries and innovations, and to create a frame work of mind designing structure, will need to reset our vision to develop process of education and evaluating the results of that education.
Let me know If I can help, I will cooperate and do what I can.
All the best. Zack
Nov 5 2012: Thanks Zack, I will keep you updated on how the progress of the plan goes

I think Gever's talk about the tinker school is one of the most powerful ideas on TED. While not a talk entirely focused on design I think it strikes the central theme of your conversation and hopefully inspires something for your project.
Fritzie -
Nov 2 2012: Jeff Chapin at TedxChange April in Berlin is one. He spoke about human centered design.
- +1
There is also one by a young guy who, with a team of people, draws up plans for simple versions of farm equipment that can be used to launch a farm. I will look for it. The words "in a box" were, I think, part of the title.
But if you go to the talks page and check the box for talks about design you will find many about design that helps people. It will be obvious from the titles which they are. http://www.ted.com/talks?lang=en&event=&duration=&sort=newest&tag=26Nov 7 2012: Check out Cameron Sinclair's 2006 TEDPrize wish talk about Architecture for Humanity and opensource architecture: http://www.ted.com/talks/cameron_sinclair_on_open_source_architecture.htmlNov 7 2012: Training of trainers-continuous process. Bring inventors together- start Exchange programmes- see young generations will catch-up much faster than you imagine. societal structure will follow tune-in.Nov 5 2012: I can't really bring up any specific Ted talks about design but I WOULD love to advocate for design of housing for handicapped individuals. These plans, in my belief should include handicapped friendly and accessible EMERGENCY housing plans. Housing design specifically for the para or quadriplegic would be very beneficial. Low income but practical housing design for the low income, disabled person or family to have safe, cheap housing that matches their needs. These are areas of design that I find extremely limited. In your design process, get folks that live in wheel chairs to be a part of the design process. I promise that they will know things that need to be addressed that a non-chair bound individual will NEVER think of. It comes from living in a chair for a while not by a bunch of students trying to guess whether they've actually covered all the bases. I'd be happy to volunteer as I really have nothing else to do at all these days and boredom is driving me nuts. I'm smart, educated and willing. When do we start?
Nov 5 2012: Hey Michael, where are you based?
Nov 6 2012: Central New Mexico, just South of Albuquerque.Nov 3 2012: I think the talk that Fritzie is referring to below is by Marcin Jakubowski at http://www.ted.com/talks/marcin_jakubowski.html

text: are still amazing but kind of turns me off for taking him with the first pick... The more i think about it i would take either Keenan Allen or Tyler Eiffert from ND. The only way i would take a defensive player first is if they get either Wallace or Bowe in free agency. Not too big on Percy Harvin, injury prone..

The offense was good. Morris was solid, and Duke was a beast. Duke ran for two 50+ yard TDs. Our short passing game was terrific.
We were getting destroyed early being down 14-0, but the team responded and took the lead at the half.
Eventually we were up 3 scores, and BC tried to comeback. To end the game Miami had a goal line stand to stop BC on 4th and Goal, and they took a safety to end the game.

Soo good!!! We love loaded baked potatoes so the idea of putting it into a soup for the colder days was incredible. I boiled my potatoes on the stove, doesn't take much time and I just prefer it that way. Great recipe!!
Excellent soup! So tasty, quick and easy! I'll make this again soon!
I took this and ran with it! I use the Steam and Mash potatoes, after being steamed I put them in the broth/milk on the stovetop, add bacon pieces and green onions. I let everything cook for about an hour! Its my husband's favorite dish I have ever made!!
