Off-Grid Rammed Earth House On Navajo Nation Catches The Wind
Back in May 2010, 22 grad students from the University of Colorado Denver started planning Maxine Begay's new home and then started construction on it in September. This is the first semester a student group outside of the University of Utah designed and built a house on the Navajo Nation and the results were just as successful. The Windcatcher House relies on local clay for its hand built compressed brick and rammed earth walls on the south and east sides of the home. Thermal mass, shading and careful placement of windows help keep the home nice and cool during the hot, dry summers and soak up heat during the winters, which can get surprisingly cold. The rest of the exterior is clad in your basic, inexpensive cement board and cleverly attached to the structure of the home.
The 1,100 sq foot, 2 bedroom home, located on Begay's family's homesite, also features a carport alongside the home. The family doesn't actually have a car, but plans to use the carport as a barn for their animals. Rainwater is collected off the carport's roof and pours into a trough and a irrigation system for the garden. As with all homes on the Navajo Nation, the Windcatcher House is totally off-grid – as there is no grid anywhere close enough to connected into.

In many ways the American Indian Nation is poised to set the example on green building methods. Reservation land is not subject to County building codes as the rest of the USA. We envy your position, as we are looking for suitable land to build our Eco-Community. We find it interesting, the new arrivals to America were given the "freedom" to build America and oppress the Indian Nations onto reservations. Now, through our own laws & regulations we are the oppressed & you have the "freedom" to build the Green example to save this World on many levels.

Very nice. I have heard of rammed earth but have never seen one and it is 75 mile of my home. I would like to learn more about the techniques of construction. I have built solar but never with earth.

Mesopotamian Cosmic Geography in the Bible
Brian Godawa looks at several aspects of ancient cosmography (descriptions of the universe) that also appear in the Bible, and what these aspects of the text mean for our understanding of Scripture.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Brian Godawa looks at several aspects of ancient cosmography (descriptions of the universe) that also appear in the Bible, and what these aspects of the text mean for our understanding of Scripture.
"As a Christian and a biblical scholar, I care both about Scripture as truth and about the ongoing scholarly conversation regarding the composition of the Hebrew Scriptures. And so, when I was asked to speak on the story of creation in Genesis 1, I welcomed the opportunity to give my thoughts on the interaction between this text and its ancient Near Eastern context."
Professor Denis Lamoureux presents the theory of evolutionary creation, which claims that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit created the universe and life through an ordained, sustained, and design-reflecting evolutionary process. The view of origins, says Lamoureux, fully embraces both the religious beliefs of biblical Christianity and the scientific theories of cosmological, geological, and biological evolution.
The literary conventions employed in Genesis chapter 1 mark it out, not as a scientific document describing material origins, but as a theological polemic against surrounding ancient Near Eastern pagan religions. Creation language here and elsewhere in Scripture is not about establishing scientific origins of material substance and structure but about covenantal establishment and worldview.
We at BioLogos believe that God used the process of evolution to create all the life on earth today. While we accept the science of evolution, we emphatically reject evolutionism. Evolutionism is the atheistic worldview that says life developed without God and without purpose. Instead, we agree with Christians who adhere to Intelligent Design and Creationism that the God of the Bible created the universe and all life. Christians disagree, however, on how God created. Young Earth Creationists believe that God created just 6,000 to 10,000 years ago and disagree with much of mainstream science. Supporters of Intelligent Design accept more of evolutionary science, but argue that some features of life are best explained by direct intervention by an intelligent agent rather than by God's regular way of working through natural processes. We at BioLogos agree with the modern scientific consensus on the age of the earth and evolutionary development of all species, seeing these as descriptions of how God created. The term BioLogos comes from the Greek words bios (life) and logos (word), referring to the opening of the Gospel of John. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made."
(Updated on March 1, 2012)
Philosopher Robert Bishop explores the Biblical doctrine of creation, which he describes as "perhaps one of the most helpful pieces of theology for thinking about science", and describes why the doctrine needs to be recovered from narrower, contemporary interpretations of creation.
In recent decades, evangelical Biblical scholars have reconsidered non-literal interpretations of Genesis. The Accommodation view of St. Augustine and John Calvin is supported by recent discoveries about ancient cultures. Literature from these cultures shows interesting parallels and differences with Genesis accounts. The differences are striking, such as stories where creation is a battle among many gods rather than the acts of one sovereign Creator. The similarities, however, show how God accommodated his message so that the Israelites could understand it. For example, the Egyptians and Babylonians thought the sky was a solid dome. This solid dome appears in Genesis 1 as the firmament created on day 2. God did not try to correct the "science" of the Israelites by explaining that the sky was a gaseous atmosphere. Instead, God accommodated his message to their cultural context. Many evangelical Biblical scholars have concluded that Genesis is not meant to teach scientific information.
In this paper, theologian John Wesley Wright reviews Connor Cunningham's book Darwin's Pious Idea, a work that deeply explores the integration of Darwinian evolutionary theory and Christian faith.
Biologist and BioLogos Senior Fellow Denis Venema examines the interaction between RTB literature and several lines of genetics-based evidence for common ancestry. In so doing, he also addresses the scientific robustness and reliability of the RTB model.
Renowned Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke considers eleven barriers that prevent evangelical theologians from accepting evolution as a possible means of creation and what these barriers tell us about the tensions perceived by many Evangelicals between science and faith. Waltke's work was based on a survey sent to members of the Fellowship of Evangelical Seminary Presidents and their faculty.
Many arguments claiming to prove the existence of God have been proposed throughout the centuries. The response to many of these arguments, however, is: "If God created the world, what created God?" It suggests that certain arguments for God's existence only push the question of beginnings one step farther back. The Bible and Christian doctrine address this question by defining God as eternal and uncreated, but such answers rarely satisfy nonbelievers. A philosophical response is that God is the ultimate first cause; the atheist is left with a dilemma of what or who that first cause might have been. In the end, an uncaused creator may simply be a more plausible explanation for the universe we live in. Our universe appears to have had a beginning, to be finely tuned for life, and to have a place for love and purpose. These appearances affirm as plausible a prior belief in God.

Stacey Cole's Nature Talks: It's '51 years and still counting'
Today's column completes 51 years of "Nature Talks," a weekly column that first appeared on the editorial page of the Manchester Union Leader on March 31, 1962.
What a pleasure it has been to have received the hundreds of letters from our readers recounting their experiences with wildlife. Especially helpful to this writer were questions as to how to identify a particular bird, mammal, insect or other undomesticated animal and the hundreds of interesting questions about their behavior.
As my good friend John Harrigan would say: "51 years and still counting." It is my hope to continue writing these columns as they have become an important part of my life.

One of our Epping readers wrote: "Enclosed are yet two more photos of red-bellied woodpeckers which shows their rufous undersides. My wife took these at our feeders in December. You and perhaps your readers should know that these striking birds can be destructive. A pair opened up the seams of the vertical cedar siding on my late father's Florida home and these have been tapping at our trimboards."
The enclosed photos did show the rufous underbelly of these red-bellied woodpeckers very well.

A Laconia reader wrote: "I have been watching a pair of gray squirrels out our living room window for over a year, up and down the street. The squirrels live down the street and come up the street on the telephone line to our bird feeder that is around 5 feet off the ground. I am curious on how they live."
Gray squirrels frequently live in holes that are formed originally as nesting holes for woodpeckers or are caused when rot sets in as the result of old limbs falling off close to the trunk. They also build nests of leaves, often called "summer dens"high in trees. New Hampshire gray squirrels breed in mid-winter. The gestation period is about 44 days. One to four young are usually born sometime in March. Another litter often arrives in late summer. Most wait until their second year to mate. The squirrel's chief enemies are great horned and barred owls, foxes, bobcats, some hawks and martens.

As long-time readers know, for many years I have written book reviews of nature books published by Houghton Mifflin of Boston, the world's largest publisher of text books. A few years ago Harcourt, a British publisher, purchased Houghton Mifflin, and I have continued to write book reviews for the combined company. In doing so, my policy has always been that I only review a book when the final copy of the book is in my hand. It is important to me that my readers know what they are getting if they purchase a copy.
Rarely do I quote from press releases sent by the publisher.
A few days ago the Union Leader mailed me a copy of a press release promoting a book published by the University Press of New England of Lebanon, entitled "Birdwatching, A Guide to Birding in the Granite State" (Publication date March 9, 2013.) The book was written by Eric A. Masterson, who has worked for 12 years in the field of environmental conservation, including eight years at New Hampshire Audubon. He currently serves on the New Hampshire Rare Bird Committee that publishes a weekly report entitled "Rare Bird Alert." That column is usually published each week on the same page in the Union Leader as this column appears. Masterson has also been a seasonal editor for N.H. Audubon's quarterly journal: "New Hampshire Bird Records."
According to the publisher's press release: "'Bird-watching in New Hampshire,' is a guide to when, where, and how to see the best of the state's birds with tips on how to recognize the best birding weather, how to choose the best birding optics, and how to find the best birding locations.
"Drawing on his extensive knowledge of the habits and habitats of New Hampshire birds, Masterson has divided the state into six regions, each with a rich diversity of birdwatching destinations. The guide also features informative accounts of the more than 300 bird species regularly seen in the Granite State, including preferred habitats and graphs illustrating when each is most likely to be encountered."
The publisher's press release quotes very favorable recommendations from Don and Lillian Stokes, authors of "The Stokes Field Guides," Jamie Trowbridge, president of Yankee Magazine, and Mike Bartlett, president, New Hampshire Audubon.
I have not seen a copy, but as a long-time subscriber of "New Hampshire Bird Records" and a regular reader of the "Rare Bird Alert" report, this sounds like a book worthy of consideration by our readers.
Stacey Cole's address is 529 W. Swanzey Road, Swanzey 03446.

This is our adaptation of an authentic Caesar dressing. However, we do skip the anchovies. If you add them, we would recommend omitting or reducing the salt.
4 large garlic cloves - minced or crushed
Whisk all ingredients together or pulse in processor until combined
For an authentic Caesar dressing, pour over cleaned, dried, torn romaine lettuce
Optional additions when ready to serve, top with Garlic croutons, grilled or poached salmon, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives
Make freshly ground pepper available to guests
If serving this for Shabbos or Yom Tov, simply pre-grind pepper into a decorative bowl, and place a tiny spoon with it
*Using the real dairy products will make a richer dressing

I need to remove what I think is called black oxide from some steel plates. These range from 2' square to 20" round x 3/8 thick.
We use them at the plant for moving large valves on stainless steel ball tables. The ball tables get covered in black crap coming off these plates and it is causing a contamination problem.
I wore out a new 4 1/2" Dewalt flap disc on one plate today (60 grit) and had to finish with something else. That disc cost 8 bucks. There will be 30+ of these plates and both sides need to be clean.
Maybe a grinding disc followed by sanding? Rust shouldn't be a problem, the plates stay covered in hydraulic fluid 24 /7. This first one is a trial to make sure they don't rust.
I want to stay away from chemicals. What do you suggest? or any ideas to prevent this contamination would also help. These ball tables are very hard to clean.
Results 1 to 9 of 9
Thread: Black Oxide

I'm sure that there are plenty of ways, and here is where secrets are that most will never be told.
I can't picture what you are actually cleaning, but I would say sand/shot blasting is the best way.
Other options are wire wheel, sanding disc, needle descalers, plus harbor freak crap.
I guess what I'm asking would be what sanding disc for a 4 1/2 side grinder would be best to do this. If blasting is cheeper and better guess I'll pass on the job.
I thought it could be removed much easier. Maybe I'll go to the Harbor and see what cheep stuff they have this weekend.
Maybe just maybe someone can save me some time searching?
So what I think your talking about is the mill scale on 3/8" thick plate?
Get a 7" grinder & some type 28 wheels & go to town. If your stuck on using a little grinder then still use the type 28 wheels. Link below but you can buy them from any supply house.

Could what you need gone is mill scale?
Hard to take off with hand grinding or sanding operation unless the grit is REALLY course.
I know you said no chem, but I have had great luck with Muriatic Acid, get it from concrete supply 28%. Dose take time.
media blasting will do the job
also consider machine grinding in the realm of Blanchard grinding
Good day to all

If I understand this correctly you place product on the plates and then move it along the roller tables, correct?
Why not get some new plates made from a different material. P&O (pickled and oiled).
What about sending them out to get shot blasted to remove the scale and then "polish" them up a bit with a flap wheel or disc?
Yes that is correct, and the mill scale as I have learned now, comes off and makes a mess as the product is moved along on the ball tables.
Getting new plates of any kind at this time wouldn't happen. Work is so slow. I also counted over 80 of these tonight, not just 30 like I guessed at.
Having them blasted may be the best way to go. But that leaves me out.
I'll try the wire wheel and type 28 disc. The brick cleaning acid might be to slow and to harsh around here. If I can do each one quick enough, and get the right material's for the job, I'll ask if I can have the job.
Thanks for the information. It will be a week or so as I put the finished one back on our OEM line tonight. There is no way it would rust being soaked in oil but they want to wait and see.

Mass Effect 3 - SR2 Hat
Just as stealthy, but with more leather
It's rumored that his hat is the only thing keep Joker's brain from rattling around, cracking his skull, and escaping during stressful times. It's probably not true, but that might be the reason you almost never see him without his hat on.Read more...
Just as stealthy, but with more leatherThe SR-2 is the successor to the ever-popular SR-1 and the only definitive difference between the two is the size, the SR-2 has more mass, and the added comfort. It's easy to love a new ship when it has civilian-grade accommodations, like a kitchen, fancy leather chairs, and more room to stretch those legs. The only downside to the SR-2 is, due to its size, it can't land on every planet's surface. But, you know, there's a kitchen, so…
For the Joker, Jeff Moreau, the transition from the comfortable SR-1 to the 2 was an easy choice. Having barely survived his last tour aboard its predecessor, the SR-2 was a huge upgrade. Wearing his love for the ship, and his secret love for EDI, atop his inflated head is a testament to his love for the empty ship he pilots. It's empty because everyone's dead, but, again, there's a kitchen...Product Specifications
- Joker's cap from Mass Effect 3
- Navy blue 4-panel brushed cotton twill cap
- Gold 3D embroidery of SR2 on the front, gold piping
- Flat embroidered Bioware logo on the back
- Officially licensed Mass Effect 3 apparel
- Flex fit style for One Size Fits Most (22.8" unstretched)
Navy colored ball cap with SR2 embroidered in the front.

In the first meeting between Elk County Catholic and Ridgway, the Crusaders didn't make a single 3-pointer.
That was far from the case Friday night.
The Crusaders made eight 3-pointers and advanced to the AML championship game with a 61-46 victory over Ridgway at Ridgway Area High School.
"I think just as important as it is for your offense, it's just that important for defense," Elk County Catholic coach Aaron Straub said. "When you make shots, you get a little more bounce in your step defensively, you get a little bit quicker, you get a little bit more energized."
JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Rams (21-2) had no trouble Friday as they cruised to a 66-22 win over Brockway (14-7). With the win, the Rams will play tonight at 7:30 p.m. at St. Marys Area High School against Elk County Catholic (18-5) for the Allegheny Mountain League [AML] crown.
The Rams were led by juniors Cole Peterson and Cameron Grumley, scoring 21 and 19 points, respectively, which was more than enough to topple Brockway.
Kane wrestling won 41-27 over Ridgway in a dual meet held Thursday night at Ridgway Area High School.
The Wolves made their seven match wins count, earning maximum points in six of them with four forfeits and two pinfalls. The Wolves also earned a technical fall.
Ridgway won a trio of close decisions with two pinfalls and a forfeit.
JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Rams held a slim 22-21 lead going into the final matches Thursday night against visiting Clarion but could not shut the door in a 32-26 loss.
Devin Mann squared off against Clarion's Caleb Bailey at 113 pounds and overwhelmed the opposition, scoring five takedowns in an 11-2 major decision to earn a bonus point.
"[Mann] had five takedowns throughout the match and that was the best I've seen him wrestle all season," said Johnsonburg head varsity wrestling coach Mike Votano. "He's been working hard and the results are coming out."
JOHNSONBURG – Johnsonburg boys basketball finished the regular season with a 75-36 victory over St. Marys Wednesday night at Johnsonburg Area High School.
JOHNSONBURG – It took less than a quarter for Johnsonburg boys basketball to shake off its second loss of the season.
The Rams had a 15-point lead at the end of the first quarter and built the lead further as the game went on in a 68-29 victory over Brockway Friday night at Johnsonburg Area High School.
The Rams had a 20-2 lead after six minutes of play.
"We got a quick start, got some easy baskets," Johnsonburg coach Bill Shuey said. "The kids were feeling it. I don't know what we shot percentage-wise but I think it was pretty good."
JOHNSONBURG – Kane wrestling won 45-21 in a dual meet at Johnsonburg Area High School Thursday night.
Seth Woolcock won the opening bout by forfeit at 113 pounds for the Wolves for a 6-0 lead. Cody Blankenship then had little trouble in the 120-pound match as he pinned Devin Mann of Johnsonburg in a time of 1:45 which upped the Kane lead to 12-0.
Jon Gelsick scored Kane's third bout in a row as he pinned Johnny Ferragine in a time of 1:05 in the 126-pound weight class.
Ridgway wrestling honored its four seniors before the varsity dual against Smethport which the Hubbers won 42-27 Wednesday night at Ridgway Area High School.
Ridgway's four seniors are Brett Himes, Cortland Smith, John Wildnauer and Zac McKnight.
The Elkers also honored the video operators, Mike Prechtl and Dustin Reed. Senior cheerleaders were also honored. The senior cheerleaders are Logan Feronti, Christine Schauer, Emily Pierce and Tracey Ecklund.
Ridgway had the advantage in the nine matches wrestled on the mat, winning five of those nine bouts.
Ridgway senior Josh Mitchell wasn't interested in playing an overtime period against Johnsonburg.
Mitchell hit a left-handed scoop shot with one second left in the fourth quarter to give Ridgway a 44-42 win over Johnsonburg Tuesday night at Ridgway Area High School.
After a near turnover, Ridgway inbounded the ball with six seconds remaining. Mitchell caught the ball near the 3-point and then drove to his left, hitting a short underhanded scoop shot to put the Elkers ahead by two and send the home crowd into a frenzy.
JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Rams (17-1) had little trouble Monday as they toppled DuBois Central Catholic (10-11) 75-48 in an Allegheny Mountain League [AML] crossover game.
The Rams were led by juniors Cameron Grumley and Cole Peterson as each scored 17 points in the victory. Seniors Quinn Luhr and Kyle Sheldon followed with 12 and 11 points, respectively, and senior Mitchell Holmberg chipped in eight in the 27-point win.

1 (4 pound)
New York (top loin) pork roast, boneless
1 teaspoon
olive oil
2 teaspoons
2 teaspoons
1 1/2 teaspoons
onion salt
1 1/2 teaspoons
garlic salt
1 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
chili powder
1/2 teaspoon
ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon
ground coriander
This is a very good recipe. After searing it for 10 minutes each side, I cooked it on the "cool" side of the grill on a small sheet pan covered loosely with foil. It took 40 minutes to cook perfectly. I served it with grilled potatoes and BLT salad.
I'll definitely cook this again.
All I can say is if you have a roterrise, USE IT!. All of the elements were perfect, however the outside burned black during the "browning process". You really need to pay attention while grilling. Nice flavor, but process issues.

WOW! This recipe was fantastic! The *only* thing I subbed in this recipe was celery salt for garlic salt, b/c that's what I had. My picky, picky husband loved it-he usually has to eat any meat with ketchup (yuck), and he said that this didn't need any.
I almost gave it four stars, just b/c I am new to indirect grilling on a gas grill, but the instructions are clear as to what to do. Five ++++ stars for taste alone, this will now become a staple in my recipe collection.
The best grilled pork ever! I sliced the pork first, and then rubbed all over each peice (not excessively), so it would be more flavorful and cook faster, and it tasted absolutely fabulous!
Come on people try this one! Five star hit. I made this for a bunch of people and it was gone in no time. I only got a little piece myself. I let the rub marinade a couple hours in a zip loc and put on the grill for about 2 hrs on low after searing it first. Let rest for 25 minutes and you won't have any complaints. Thanks for this recipe pork board.
Oh my goodness!!! This was excellent!
I followed the recipe to a T. (other than the fact that my grill cooked the meat a little faster then the recommended time) and it was fabulous! My husband absolutely hates pork loin and whined when he heard was I was serving. He was half way through his meal when he looked up and said "this recipe kicks butt!! I love it!" That isn't easy to come by in this house! Thanks so much for an excellent and super easy recipe!
Thanks to everyone who rated this five stars! I prepared an 8-pound loin using this recipe on my grill's rotissie and all of my 7 guests raved on how tasty the finished dish was. It took me only about 50 minutes of grill time.
This was SO easy and so flavorful! I marinated it for 24 hours because dinner plans changed the day I planned to grill it. Here's what I'll do differently next time: 1) sear it on lower heat - it was too hard on the outside (bit too overdone); 2) cook it less ... I think next time I'll remove it from the grill 5 degrees under the "done" temperature, as it contines to cook as it sits and it was a little dry. It was still delicious, first day and as leftovers. I served it - as another recommended - with Amy's Cilantro Cream Sauce (from this site) and Baked Applesauce (from this site). It was a GREAT dinner!
