|American Society of Dowsers Convention July 29 - Aug 6
My Uncle Bill was a very likable person whom I recall as having a bemused smile on his face as though life were a mostly silly affair playing out in front of us. He and my aunt owned a women's clothing store in Worcester MA but in the evenings he sat in his favorite chair drinking a few Carling Black Label beers and listening to his police scanner (rare equipment several decades ago and I'm not sure it was technically legal at the time). We would read and talk but when the radio crackled and a voice came over it, he would cock his head and listen while carrying on whatever he was doing. I would ask him what was going on and he would explain.
Bill (I call him Bill now that I'm the age he was when I knew him) introduced me to the American Society of Dowsers . He belonged to it and told me it certainly did work and that our ancestors believed so too. Like anything, it was a skill that some people were born with and other people had to learn. You got better at it by practicing. I joined. I received an occasional newsletter but, like many teenagers, or at least the lot I hung out with, my interests changed from year to year finally focusing most of the time on such modern wonders as internal combustion powered mobile machinery, and girls.
A few years ago, those memories of Bill came back when I discovered (or re-learned) that the American Society of Dowsers is headquartered in Vermont. Danville to be specific. It's near Cabot, Peacham, and St. Johnsbury in the northeast part of the state, and just an hour's drive from where I live.
Dowsing is the ancient (and I mean ancient - thousands of years) art of finding water by walking over a piece of ground holding a dowsing stick which moves when you cross underground water. It's usually water that is sought but it can be other items too if you are really good at it. In rural parts of the world, like VT, it is how people used to find a place to dig a well. Dowsers are still in use today for such purposes.
Like any self respecting group of five or more people living in two or more places, they have an annual convention . This year will be their 47th. It is being held at Sugarbush Resort in Warren, just 20 minutes down the road from us. I should go. It would make Bill smile. In fact, he would get a kick out of it if a bunch of us went so why don't you plan to show up also.
There will be workshops, schools, speakers, vendors, the usual rigmarole you see anywhere but I think this one will be more entertaining and educational than most I can think of.
Have fun, learn some new things, and keep an eye out for people with pleasantly quiet demeanors, slight grins, and a twinkle in their eye - they may be relatives of mine.

|Sailing Regatta Looking for Crew Members
Here's something different to do on your trip to Vermont: volunteer to be a crew person on a sailboat at the annual Regatta for Lake Champlain. The regatta is a fun event, not a serious race, that raises money to benefit several organizations working to help the lake. Beginners are welcome.
There is a July 20 Friday adult party from 7:00 pm to midnight (tickets at the door or online) at the ECHO Aquarium in Burlington. The party would be a fun way to wrap up a visit to the Vermont Brewers Festival (see my entry below).
The Regatta is the next day, Saturday July 21.

|Solar Fest Alternative Energy Expo
SolarFest 2007 will be held Saturday and Sunday, July 14 and 15 at the Forget-Me-Not Farm in Tinmouth Vermont (Google map says it's in nearby Middletown Springs VT). Tinmouth is a few minutes north of Rutland in the south central part of the state.
This is an educational and entertainment event that last year attracted about 3800 people from many states. Now in its 13th year, SolarFest focuses on solar and wind energy. There will be dozens of workshops, about 100 vendors, and musical entertainment.

|Vermont Alpine Slides
The Stowe Alpine Slide opens tomorrow. This is a lot of fun for both children and adults. There is a height restriction for children before they can go by themselves but usually by age six children are tall enough to go by themselves. Children under the minimum height or under the age of two can ride double with an adult.
The adventure begins with a ride on a double chair lift to the top of Spruce Peak Mountain. At the top, you will pick up a plastic sled and get on the track for an exhilarating ride that lasts about three minutes if you go down quickly. You control the speed of the sled with a stick. Pull back and the sled slows down. Push the stick forward and you speed up.
There is also an alpine slide at the Pico ski area next to Killington and just a few minutes east of Rutland in central Vermont. The Bromley Thrill Zone near Bennington and Manchester in the southwestern part of the state also has an alpine slide.

|Old Cemetary Headstones
Old cemeteries are everywhere in New England and Vermont has its share of course.
Here is the epitaph on a headstone over Anna Hopewell's grave in Enosburg Falls, in northwestern Vermont:
"Here lies the body of our Anna, Done to death by a banana. It wasn't the fruit that laid her low, But the skin of the thing that made her go."
More amusing tombstone epitaphs are at the Onward Bound blog.

|Dandelion Festival May 19
In suburbs all over this country, homeowners are gearing up to do battle with lawn weeds this spring. The king of all weeds, the dandelion, is often number one on their hit list. But naturally, here in Vermont, we take a different tact - people here cultivate the darned thing for heaven's sake. And wouldn't you know, there's even a group of Vermonters who have a festival celebrating America's most frustrating weed. To top it off, there is another group of Vermonters who actually show up at the event. Go figure.
You should come out and take a look at these quirky folks. You'll find they are friendly and relaxed. Some of that may have to do with the fact they are drinking white wine that's made from their exalted weed.
So, while the rest of the country digs, cuts, chops, burns, poisons, and generally mutilates the poor plant, you can find a place that celebrates it with raised glass and grateful palates. This festival is a good chance for you to make an entry in your list of goofy but fun stuff you did with your time on this planet.
The festival is Saturday, May 19th at Grandview Winery from 1:00 to 5:00.Admission is free. There will be music along with other types of wines to taste. Grandview Winery is located about 15 minutes north of Montpelier. You can get directions here. It's a very scenic area to drive around exploring. I recommend a drive up through Plainfield and Marshfield over to the town of Peacham and just pick some side roads to explore. It's a lot of fun to see the beautiful vistas and farms back in the hills and you will no doubt find some good places to photograph. The area around Peacham is one of the most photographed in the state of Vermont. Cabot Cheese factory is nearby in the town of Cabot and it's worth a visit for the factory tour and cheese shop.
The dandelion blossom produces a wine that tastes surprisingly good. It is aromatic and lightly sweet. Quantities are limited and the price is about $15 a bottle.

The draft process is not just about finding talent, but the best fits for your team. Clearly, there are different needs now with a new coaching staff and new philosophies on both sides of the ball. As an average fan who watches some college football, I can tell if a guy has talent. But the tougher question is whether or not a specific player would fit our system.
So with that said, I'd love to hear from those who watch a lot more college ball than me guys like Hoops, Slimm, CK and others. I know Keenan Allen and Justin Hunter are talented, but who fits better? What wide receivers are the best fits for what we do on offense? What pass rushers and corners would best fit Coyle's defense? Who are some sleepers who might have talent perfectly suited for this team?

It may be less than a week until all the action of the 2012 Formula 1™ Qantas Australian Grand Prix explodes into Albert Park, but yesterday the thrill and adrenalin of F1 was making noise some 200km away in Bendigo.
The Swisse Two-Seater F1 cars zoomed into one of regional Victoria's largest cities, putting on a spectacular show for the thousands of locals who turned out to see the cars drive through their streets, preluding the Bendigo International Madison Criterium.
Driven by V8 Supercar driver Cameron McConville and former Minardi F1 Team owner Paul Stoddart, Greater Bendigo Mayor Cr Alec Sandner was one of the lucky recipients to experience the thrill and adrenalin first hand from within the Swisse Two-Seater cars.
Australian Grand Prix Corporation CEO Andrew Westacott was thrilled to share the excitement and experience of F1 with Bendigo and its residents, less than a week away from the commencement of qualifying at Albert Park.
"Regional Victoria has been great supporter of our event in Melbourne and this is a way for us to give back to the fans and showcase a piece of what they can expect next week at the 2012 Australian Formula 1™ Grand Prix," he said.

Below is the topic I posted on the PDGA board. Let me know what you think? Its gettin hot in here
This is a very close race. I think that Jenkins may have an edge when factoring in the many details. No question Locastro had an incredible year, but in the end I feel like Jenkins pulls this one out. Once you calculate the catagories mentioned in the PDGA doc (which I am not certain that I did correctly), AJ looks to be ahead. It imay be close enough to take to an alternative factor and if so here is an idea.
Why not let the World Rankings be the deciding factor? It makes sense to utilize all of the statistics compiled into the World Rankings. Avery Jenkins has been ranked no worse than 4th in the world for the entire year. He aslo has been ranked 1st after his World title. Locastro on the other hand has not been better than 10th all year long until his USDGC title. When the October rankings came out he jumped to 2nd, still not first. Bottom line, AJ has been ranked higher in the world all year long.
Based on these four factors in this doc. things look good for Avery, but it is so close they should take a look at the world rankings thing to decide.
1. Best event rating 35% (best two event ratings in Majors or NTs, plus five best ratings in Btiers or higher) (Looks like Locastro)
2. Worlds 20% (AJ for sure)
3. Finish Position 20% (?)
4. Head-to-Head 20% (AJ for sure)
Best event rating:
1 1077
2 1072
1 1069
2 1066
3 1066
4 1065
5 1064
Avg = 1068
1 1080
2 1063
1 1088
2 1076
3 1073
4 1071
5 1070
Avg = 1074
Talk it up here. Who do you think should take home the title of 2009 PDGA Player of the Year?

I am very surprised that Omar, and other Dolphin media do not know, or bother to research, cap info before writing about it, especially for next year. They have been writing that Phans should not get excited about having $40-50M in cap space next off season because if we sign our own players, the money will be gone, based on Long getting $10-15M, Smith getting up to $10M a year, etc, etc.
This is simply not true. In most cases, the average of what any player signs for is entirely different than what the cap hit will be in the first or following years. This does not apply to players franchised and one year deals.
For a VG example, let's take a look at the Dansby deal. Many fans are up in arms because He costs the team $13.8M this year in cap space. How the hell is he worth that? He isn't.
However, he did not get that money every year. Big difference if we look closer at the contract, and cap hits, from 2010, when the deal was done. Dansby got an $11.6M signing bonus on his 5 year deal. The cap hit is split up over the term of the contract. So, he costs $2.3M each year, which is added to his yearly salary.
In 2010, his salary was $4.8M. Add that to the $2.3 (pro-rated bonus), and he had a cap number of $7.1M.
In 2011, his salary was $2.7M, a $5M cap hit.
In 2012, his salary is $8.8M, a $13.8 cap hit.
In 2013, his salary will be $6M, an $8.3 cap hit.
In 2014, his salary will be $9M, which he unlikely will ever see. That last year will likely be renegotiated, or he will be cut or traded.
There are MANY other examples I can list. So, don't buy in to what the media is saying, as it is no more than half truths. JMO, based on fact.

Crucell and DSM Hit Pharmaceutical Technology Milestone
10:51 AM MDT | June 16, 2008 | Alex Scott
Percivia, a biotech research business jointly owned by biotech firm Crucell (Leiden, the Netherlands) and DSM, says it has significantly raised the yield of its mammalian cell-based technology for producing therapeutic proteins. From the latest test results Percivia says its PER.C6 human cell line, in conjunction with XD Technology generated a record yield of more than 27 grams/liter of therapeutic proteins. The increase compares with a yield in March of this year of just 15 grams/liter. This milstone was achieved using standard bioreactor equipment and readily...

I would appreciate very much if someone could answer my question. I'm not sure if I posted it in a right category but I hope it will get in "good hands".
So here it is:
By measuring the open circuit potential (OCP) of two different types of metals in the same solution, conditions etc., does the lower OCP indicate the lower resistance to corrosion? How can I interprate this "result"?
Thank you for your answer in advance.

Lets make this a little more clear for those that done seem to get the question.
Hypothetically speaking!
YOU RE-SIGN Hartline in free agency with the intent on keeping him. You sign Jennings or Wallace and Unexpectedly, you go into the draft, draft a WR / TE/ and long and behold you have a chance to draft another WR that is great value.
Someone is now expendable at this point.
NE recognize this and approach you with a trade offer for Hartline for a draft pick. Would you as a fan be okay with this?
Cant spell this out any clearer

Strictly dancing
Birmingham Royal Ballet's Strictly dancing features three one-act ballets exploring the expression of joy and love through pure dance.
Paquita tells of the homecoming of a young girl to her family, and the celebrations that follow this happy event. Marius Petipa, the master of conveying ideas and emotions through choreography, provides glorious steps that have made the piece, originally just one part of a longer ballet, an enduring and popular classical work in it's own right.
Twyla Tharp's Nine Sinatra Songs presents intimate snapshots of seven different couples on a dancefloor, showing the various stages of courtship and how the lovers express their feelings to one another through their movements.
Daphnis and Chloë, by Frederick Ashton, tells of how a young couple's innocent love for one another evolves swiftly into burning passion when the two are suddenly seperated. With a popular score by Ravel, this is the first time that this ballet has been performed by a UK touring Company.

Series: Evolution Basics (50 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
This BioLogos videocast addresses the idea of randomness as a part of natural selection, and whether it challenges the possibility of God using the evolutionary process as a means of creation.
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
It should not be surprising that John Cage asked the stuff he used to make paintings to take part in the process—to contribute its own identity to the intentional, purposeful, and determined work of creating "based on chance."
Perusing the writings of atheistic scientists and philosophers like Daniel Dennett, one could easily get the impression that arriving at a simpler explanation for something equates to a revelation that things are "lower, cruder, and more trivial."
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
When presented with the evidence for human population sizes over our evolutionary history, a common point of confusion for evangelicals is how this evidence fits with Mitochondrial Eve. How can we all come from one woman (and one man) but also come from a large population of 10,000 individuals?
I fear that many of us ask the wrong questions about the beginning of the book of Genesis. Not only does this generate needless confusion and division, it also makes us miss the life-changing truths that we could see if we asked the right questions.
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
For many, the importance of apparent randomness in evolution can be a major stumbling block when considering whether God could have created through an evolutionary process.
Even if Darwin had never lived and no one else had come up with the idea of common ancestry, modern genomics would have forced us to that conclusion even if there was no other evidence available.

I want to love this magazine. I get four other food magazines, and this is the most lacking. There aren't enough recipes. If you like reading about food, and especially southern novelty food shops, then this is for you. If you want a magazine that is mostly about cooking and recipes, I'd pass.
Best Uses
Tasty Recipes
Loved the photography throughout and the easy recipes. Would buy again. Especially at Christmas time.
I subscribed to Taste of the South magazine as soon as I bought the first issue. The articles are interesting and informative. But the recipes are the reason I love it! They look good and taste good! And they are not intended for only the best chef to make. I have made many of them and I always get raves.
Within a sea of cooking magazines, Taste Of The South easily falls into the top ten must haves. This genteel, chock full of great recipes and pictures cooking magazine is a sure threat to anyone watching their weight. There are several tested recipes in each issue that are well worth trying. Think Paula Deen, Southern Living & Southern Lady Magazine - and getting the best recipes from each one!
I'm never disappointed when I pull Taste of the South magazine from the mailbox. I have visited restaurants while on vacation that were featured. They have always been just as presented. The recipes are great and beautifully photographed.

For the second consecutive year Communication Arts held its annual typography and type design competition in search for the best typography of the year. The 2012 Typography Annual showcases the 150 winning projects selected by a distinguished panel of jurors such as Richard Kegler, Erik Spiekermann and Tiffany Wardle de Sousa.
More than 1,700 entries were submitted for this second Typography Annual, reflecting the quantity of work produced in a single year. The organisers were pleased with the international nature of the submissions, especially in the typeface category, and the inclusion of several non-Latin typefaces.
Regal Finesse Pro by Parachute, was selected to be among the winners in the typeface design category. This is not the first time that various families from the Regal series receive awards. Regal was also a winner in last year's Creative Review Type Competition, as well as a winner in the Granshan Awards 2010. Regal Pro was originally created for the redesign of Grazia magazine and later was revamped and upgraded for commercial use. The original 3 basic families were expanded to include more variations, ligatures, swashes and additional support for Latin and Greek. The final version of Regal includes 5 families. Currently Regal Pro is available offline but will be officially released online shortly.

Your beliefs on where Morality comes from?
C.S Lewis (Christian apologist) and Freud ("touchstone" to atheism) had opposing views on this topic, what are your views?
Nunya Byznes
Apr 30 2013: The problem with those who would argue that God is not the source of good morals is that they have no basis to construct a morality that is devoid of the influence of those who worship or fear what they call god. It is only in modernity that is bent on eschewing God having convinced themselves of their own superiority, that this foolishness has gained foothold. Of course, my question to them is, "By what objective standard is it derived that man is the highest form of life that we know?"
- +2
Show me a human grown to adulthood in isolation (the morals can be derived without a God argument) and I will show you a very self-centered, greedy, prone to violence and murderous individual; in other words, one possessed of very bad morals indeed. What this generation is want to deny (that morals are objectively established by God), is the very thing that they can not escape as the influence that permeates the society they have inescapably inherited and in which permeates their social constructs.
The thing to remember is that morals can be lost when not transmitted through the generations, and transmitting through the generations is one of the tasks set for us to do by God. Witness where we are going---Promethean and self-absorbed.
Apr 30 2013: No gods could be the source of morals because they don't exist. Therefore our morals have always being human. From the horrifying morals of the old testament to the best of the Mahatmas. It does not matter if we could or could not be influenced morally from those who believe in gods, the morals are still far from being of divine origin, which is easily demonstrable. Just look at that old testament for an example. As I said: horrifying.
If some of these fictional characters called gods were "objective standards," we would find it impossible to develop moralities. Things change from one god to the next, from a god in one story to the same god in the next story. However, we have objective pinpoints to develop morality, namely, our need to be able to rely on each other for survival, our understanding of pain and suffering. None of these require gods.
But that's only a start. Yet a start that has allowed us to grow up and understand that, for example, slavery harmed many people. That women should have a right to vote, that not being a virgin is not a reason to deserve death. We've been able to reject other things that people have justified for being written in their sacred books, rather than reason about it.
It is not easy at all. We have a lot of growing up to do. But that's all we have. Fantasizing that gods can solve the problems for us won't work very well though.
Apr 30 2013: Your argument seems like the claim that one has a firm grasp of the tree as they work to cut off the limb that holds them up.
May 1 2013: Come on. How is recognizing pain and suffering, or the need to be able to rely on each other as gregarious animals that we are, cutting off the limb that's holding us up? Are you saying that morals are rather meaningless except for being commands from a god? (Leaving aside the little problem that gods don't exist.) Is that what you call objective? If so, you have a definition of objective that contradicts what is normally defined as objective. Either you can think about it or you can't. But don't just ignore the answer, please. Think about it this time.May 1 2013: "Either you can think about it or you can't"---indeed. One can think about the meaning of the tree, the branch one claims for themself as the tree and the severing of the limb from the tree to render the limb they have claimed for themself in time dead and termite eaten---or one can't.
May 2 2013: Whatever Nunya.Apr 30 2013: Our experiences and our education.
Adelo Vant
Apr 29 2013: Self is the source of morality. The simple test question for children and adults; Does it hurt?
- +1
Answer: No is good, Answer: Yes is bad
Hoped for result "Lesson Learned"
Another test question for children and adults; Can I help?
Good is stop, reduce, fix, prevent ... the hurt, lack of response to hurt is bad.
The child, adult, individual owns their own morality.
IOW: The gods are not needed for judgement, any human can judge themselves and others, if everything is known and the person is not sociopath. I did not say morality is easy to determine.Apr 28 2013: Sorry if I sound strange, I think morality comes from our mortality. I think we would have been very different had we been immortal or extremely short lived. Our morality can come from purely objective view of life, the common greater good and a rather shorter life span compared to our aspirations and imaginative qualities.
It's a pity religion hijacked it.
Apr 28 2013: Pabitra, what an interesting thought.
- 0
Do you know what the holy scriptures say regarding morality?
Let me share this with you:
" For whenever people of the nations that do not have law do by nature the things of the law, these people, although not having law, are a law to themselves. They are the very ones who demonstrate the matter of the law to be written in their hearts, while their conscience is bearing witness with them and, between their own thoughts, they are being accused or even excused."
I have understood from reading this and discussing it with others that the scriptures appear to be saying that we humans have a built in moral code. Whether or not we attribute it to our Creator, that's a diferrent matter.
I would ammend your last statement to read: "Some" Religions have hijacked morality.
From many discussions with people from diferrent religious backgrounds, I have come to learn that not everyone calling themselves christians or muslims or hindus put faith in God. Many are a law unto themselves and have little respect for the word of God or for the church Fathers or church doctrine.
Some, independent of being from a religion, have their own moral code, which they adjust accordingly each time it suits them. This is our free will at work.Apr 28 2013: A mix of nature, nurture, experience, and your own enquiry and choices.
We are social animals. Our ancestors have probably been living in groups longer than we have been homo sapiens, so group dynamics are important and seem to have been an evolutionary force.
However with our intellect we are capable of considering what is right or wrong far beyond basic group dynamics.
Roy Bourque
Apr 27 2013: Our desire for well being and our concepts of what will secure that well being. Culture, religion, politics, laws, environmental conditioning, and our own psychological makeup all play a part in how our own individual concepts of what will secure well being emerge.May 2 2013: It seems self-evident that good morals come from God, Who being our Creator knows best how we function; and that bad morals spring from man alone, who has shown himself capable of rationalizing and justifying anything to himself. A mixture of the two renders mixed results.Apr 30 2013: As we raise our children they go through different levels. First the civic level of obedience, then the moral level of being good and respected. Hopefully after that onto the spiritual level of love to the neighbour.
- +1
(CS Lewis was also a reader of Swedenborg)
Morality is inclusive of the entire human life with the 'neighbour' in societies. Thus moral truths relate to the things of every person's life in regard to companionship and social relations - to what is sincere and right, and to virtues of every kind. Moral good, which is human good itself, is the rational good according to which people live with other people as a brother, sister and companion. Moral life is to act well, sincerely and justly in all things; and moral wisdom consists in the practise of all the virtues which look to life and enter into it.Apr 28 2013: Morality comes from many sources. But popular opinion is what determines what is morally acceptable and what is not.
For example, owning slaves was considered to be morally acceptable behavior and now it isn't.
Morality is our definition of what is right, and its constantly evolving along with our increasing understanding of life.Apr 28 2013: Maybe it comes frome our genes, that human beings learned to do it over time and thus became heredity.
But I think good morals should come from our knowledge that we are basically all the same. We are all human beings.
Although I don't believe that criminals have any kind of good morals, at least who do harm intentionally.
Apr 29 2013: Tedor,
"Although I don't believe that criminals have any kind of good morals, at least who do harm intentionally. "
So you're good people and they're bad people? Is that it?
Morals mean good and bad and are responses to ones environment.
They are not necessarily indicative of a person "being a bad person", but a person who is responding to the threats of their environment in order to survive.
If you have never lived in those kinds of environments you will not understand.
Likewise, if you live by your comment, you will not understand either.
You don't have to understand if you don't wish to but that is then choosing to remain ignorant and ignoring truth that exists and needs to be recognized.
Experience is of supreme value in life.
Good judgment comes from experience.
Experience comes from bad judgment.
Apr 29 2013: What I mean by criminals is people who kill other people especially, OTHER BAD BEHAVIOR CAN BE JUSTIFIED BY THE INVIRONMENT. And I mention INTENTIONALLY, that is by willing it and for no good reason.
I don't believe there are good and bad people. I mentioned that we are all human beings. Moreover I believe that everyone has his circumstances.
About morals, I think that good behavior should come from our knowledge that we all the same in a way and we should treat others as we like to be treated.
I know that there are very hard enviroments that lead people to do anything, but I don't think that killing should be accepted!
I treat all people with good morals. That's my judgement and it comes from my thought.
What do you think? Please clarify if I missed any point of yours.Apr 27 2013: Morality is a tough one because of The Observer. It is so complicated because Morality is the embodiment of who a person is. Social factors play in by influencing the general idea of what Morality is. Society being the fickle beast of time changes decade to decade. Not to mention things like economics, a person who needs money (leader with an accent who wants oil), Endangerment, and if you really want to get Quantum, the reality the individual perceives. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUyqfUut8lAApr 27 2013: Morality is a learned behavior. Like other learned behavior it is a combination of what nature instills in a person as instinctive actions necessary to survive, observations of actions and weighted influence of other people, the geographic location and culture local to the person, and their own experiences and interactions with people.
Wiki has a neat definition of morality:
Morality (from the Latin moralitas "manner, character, proper behavior") is the differentiation of intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are "good" (or right) and those that are "bad" (or wrong). The philosophy of morality is ethics. A moral code is a system of morality (according to a particular philosophy, religion, culture, etc.) and a moral is any one practice or teaching within a moral code. Morality may also be specifically synonymous with "goodness" or "rightness." Immorality is the active opposition to morality (i.e. opposition to that which is good or right), while amorality is variously defined as an unawareness of, indifference toward, or disbelief in any set of moral standards or principles. An example of a moral code is the Golden Rule which states that, "One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morality)Apr 27 2013: The cultureApr 27 2013: Morality is subject to changing views.
it is morally correct for people to kill a person with a gun who is about to kill 5 people with a bomb in most of the psychology tests. why is murder morally correct if it is to save 5 at the cost of 1? a murder is after all a murder.
now moral police go around chasing hippies and dopers, without giving it a thought that it is their schools and institutions that bestow upon the children the insecurity and peer pressure which needs to be dealt with in a doped manner by the child's mind.
children are mallable. its not their fault they have to deal with creativity suppression and social benchmarks, is it?
so if we contradict each philosopher about what truely is morality, we would be left with the most logical solution that - IN EVERY ERA, CIVILIZATION SETS FOR ITSELF SOME RULES THAT, IF FOLLOWED, WOULD BEST SERVE THE PURPOSES OF THE LEADERS AND PROVIDE HARMONIOUS ADMINISTRATION OF THE MASSES.
these sets of rules are TAGGED morality, so people would blindly accept them and move along, without resistance.
so want a person dead? tag him a ConMan and society will kill him while he's alive. that's morality for you.Apr 27 2013: Morality is programmed into us by our creator, we are free to heed it or to ignore it.
Apr 30 2013: What do you imagine when you say "creator"?
Apr 30 2013: The God of the bible.
:-)Apr 27 2013: Maybe we need a phenomonolgy where both are right.Apr 27 2013: morality comes from energy, or light given to every man and women who come to this earth. this light grows or diminishes based on choice we make through out life. did i choose doubt to move backward or did i choose belief + action to move froward. there are eternal laws that when obeyed constantly give is honor or power over certain things. this power or light comes is given to us from god who is over all light. his requirements are governing principles that if adhered to we are free and more is given to us. when we seek to use those principles or power given to us for selfish ways we loose that honor and trust given to us by god ultimately. the first person that suffers is us. we loose faith in ourselves then others then ultimately that power leaves us. the ability to be a blessing to another is forfeited and the relationship wich is the greatest joy is nullified.
Apr 27 2013: "given to every man and women who come to this earth"
Is it given to other apes as well, in your opinion? If not, how do you explain non-human morality?
Apr 27 2013: I believe all creatures are subject to whatever light god has bestowed upon that creature and is left according to his own agency to act in its own sphere of influence. he is rewarded by natural laws. If he obeys them he is added unto if he does not he decreases. To who much is given much is required. With great power great responsibility. I think the life of pie is a great example of this. He gives a metaphor where he takes carnal side of humans or the animalistic nature of humans and personifies them as animals. A tiger as himself, a cjimp as his mother, a hiena as a bad man.. Once all the creatures are killed he is left with a tiger. Him as the intelligence inside him and the tiger. Or the natural man the creature the animal. His father teaches him a very valuable lesson. The tiger is not your friend and will never be your friend. Then has his boy watch the tiger kill and drag a goat away.

Comments On Aug 25, 2012:After reading the reviews, I decided to try this tire expecting at least a 1500 mile plus tire. I was wrong!!! The tire is super grippy, unbelieveable grip. That said, after two hard days of riding and less than 600 miles, approximately 1/3 of the tread is simply missing. The knobs have literally torn completely off and are gone. The remaining knobs are at 80% or better and the tire is going into the trash because of the missing tread. Time to try something else. Good for short term wall climbing, and not much else.

Comments On Aug 24, 2012:For years I've been a big driver for knobby tires (The bigger the better I used to think for hill climbing) and used to tease friends that rode with a trials bike tire until I tried their bike on a hill that was too slippery for my bike/tire. I'll never go back to a knobby for woods/trail riding again. I raced in 3 ISDE's and two poker runs, and rode for almost two summers before I had to replace my 1st Trials Comp Tire. Very happy with the tire and its traction and durability and just purchased my second trials comp tire.

Comments On Jun 11, 2012:For woods riding... I liked it better then a knobby from day one. Be ready the front end will be coming up unexpected. Really! You get used to it quickly. After a few weeks of getting used to it I like it even more. My 06 yz 250 is set up for the woods; Gnarly pipe, fly wheel weight. I can pull one gear higher with this tire. Riding with 300 two strokes I can pull them in the loose rocky uphill if they have a knobby tire. I use a extra heavy duty tube and would recommend it. People look at you weird at first then after they see what it can do they want to know all about it. For the woods you won't regret it. If it lasts as long as they say it will, there is no going back for me.

Comments On Apr 06, 2012:This tire works great, like all trials tires. It seems to last longer than most other brands (espeically the Dunlop D803!), and works as good or better than any of the others.
All trials tires work great, so if you're thinking about getting one, GET ONE!

Comments On Mar 26, 2012:In the Pacific Northwest it gets pretty slimy. My buddy and I took some heat over our "goofy" tires but laughed as we chugged up a steep greasy climb that our other buddies pushed there bikes up. It is remarkable just how good these things grip, and they don't tear up the trails.

Comments On Oct 15, 2011:Over 2 years(150 hrs)on this tire with no flats, broken off knobs or destroyed sidewalls. I will be purchasing another and recommend them to others. This tire does squirm around at higher speeds and down steep hills the rear wants to lock up early but for the 99% that just trail ride, it is perfect.

Comments On Jun 20, 2011:DO NOT RUN THIS WITH OUT A BIB MOUSSE OR YOU WILL GET A FLAT.ALSO THE SIDE WALL WAS SO BADLY DAMAGED THAT I HAD TO THROW THE TIRE OUT AFTER ABOUT 2HOURS OF USE.. AND BEFORE ANYONE SAYS IT I DID NOT RIDE ON THE TIRE WHEN IT WAS FLAT BECOUSE THTS VIRTUALY IMPOSSIBLE. BECOUSE OF THIS I DESTROYED MY REAR RIM AND AM NOW FORCED TO BUY A NEW WHEEL.ON A SIDE NOTE THE TRACTION WAS EXCELLANT BUT IT WASNT WORTH THE 500.00 IN DAMAGE PLUS A NEW TIRE

Display a tall RED candle. Light it, then by waving over the flame with your finger tips, you change it to a WHITE candle but...it's STILL LIT! As a wonderful climax, you may make the white candle vanish or change it into a silk!
The trick may also be performed without lighting the candles, as a Color Changing and Vanishing Candle effect.
The set includes TWO candles, one RED and one WHITE (both candles are different in construction and specially made for this effect). You supply your own silk (optional- necessary only if you want to change the candle into a silk at the end of the trick) and candle holder (if you want the candle to stand by itself on a table).

I made this for my husband last night and he loved it!!.. I didnt have cake flour so used all purpose..I made it in a bundt pan and then piped "Cream Cheese Frosting II" all over the top.. I then sprinkled some finely chopped walnuts to finish it off.. My husband likes cold cake so I put it in the fridge and he absolutely loved it!..

I was not super impressed with this recipe, which was really disappointing given all the rave reviews! I wonder if my bananas may have been too overripe though - the reason we didn't love this is it was just too sweet. And it didn't turn out as dense as we would have liked either. Maybe I'll try it again with bananas that aren't black yet and see if that makes a difference.

This cake is WOW!!!! I am so picky about cakes regarding whether they are moist and flavorful. This cake/recipe is really superb. I am so glad I went with this recipe of the many banana cake recipes on this site. The reason I did was that I did not want to buy a whole container of buttermilk that the other more highly rated recipe had. This banana cake called for sour cream and cake flour and I had both at home. I do find that cakes that call for cake flour are more tender and moist and this one holds true. Like other reviewers suggested...I used 3 bananas which measured 1½ cups of mashed banana. I followed the recipe exactly. This is the most delicious cake I have made in a long, long time. My six year old son asked if he can have this cake for his birthday cake next year.
One word - ohmigosh!! I love bananas and this is the best recipe I have tried for Banana Cake (I have tried several on this site). It is moist, fluffy, easy and deee-li-cious!! What's more, it is the perfect size - 9 in. square pan - for a small family or a small get-together. You don't have to worry about eating leftovers for the entire week , although this is sooo good, you WOULD want to eat this cake for an entire week. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely wonderful! Instead of using 1 cups of banana, I used 5 bananas and the cake turned out with that 'banana-y omph' I didnt have cake flour, so i used bread flour and take away about 3.5 tablespoon away. Also, i used brown sugar cos we didnt have much white sugar left
Overall, this recipe is great! Moist and full of flavour. I suggest u use more than 1 cup of bananas though.. I love mine!!
Great cake. Instead of sour cream, I added same amount of milk. That could be why my cake took at least 15 more mins to back. The outside was crusty and brown while the instead was still soft. Overall however, it's a great cake. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Excellent! Baked this in an 8x11 pan, and frosted it with Cream Cheese Frosting II (on this site). I used 3 blackening bananas which came to about 1 1/2 cups, but I forgot the vanilla extract. Used all-purpose flour, and it worked just fine. The cake is fantastic, very moist and superb banana flavor. Thanks!
Amazing! Other than substituting yogurt for the sour cream, I used the recipe as written, and it turned out delicious! Highly recomended!

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Women's Cotton Henley Nightshirt …
"I am so pleased with my cotton Henley nightshirt as it is the perfect nightshirt for all seasons (especially if you live in the south, but anywhere, really) because of its generous length, as you can see from the picture. It is also very roomy and comfortable for sleeping or lounging. It has a slimming look because of the design. I purchased four nightshirts in the beautiful Jade color for Christmas gifts - one was for myself. I plan to buy some more. The price is right and it washes well. You really don't have to press it, and it doesn't shrink! What more can you ask?" -Betty, Palm Bay, FL

Pangea (works for NASA) and BC on the Hobart board are big fans of DC and "lab grade" helium for heavy aluminum weldments.
I've used DC/straight Helium quite extensively in the past, but for many years now, I've found I can get my work done with AC and the addition of about 25% helium.
DC welding with Helium definitely has it's place, but when you factor in the cost of the Helium along with the higher flow rates required, your covering gas ends up costing you about 7 times as much as using Argon.
Sometimes you just got no other options though.
Yea. I know what you mean. The process has been used for years in obscure (to the public) circles. I was really thinking about the final weldments/product(s). When you use 60-70CFH of UHP+/labgrade He it costs big time! Maybe it's just me, but I love to feel the filler penetrate like it does running .040 ceriated tungsten at 140 amps on 3/4" Al. Also pushing 300+amps AC is hotter than helle (had to add an e for the forum to allow it) to me.
I am nearly 50 and can't count the bottles of high dollar He, tungsten, and filler rod I smoked up over the years. The final product and selling price was good. Now days I rarely see over 40 amps on a TIG. All I do is weld critical stuff with no tolerance for error. Good to hear your input though.

DC Tig on aluminum
Hello Hawk,
I do a little tig welding and am fair on alum but I do not consider myself an aluminum welder.
My buddies call me the "Clouseau" of tigging.
But this thread has me intrigued as I thought DC tigging aluminum was a no-no.
I do not have access (too cheap!) to helium so I am stuck with argon.
I would love to try tigging alum on DC but am I doomed if I don't have helium or can I try with your suggestions for settings?
Here are two 3" cubes I made from 1/8" alum (alloy unknown with 3/32" 4043 wire )
If I remember correctly, this was done at 85 amps - 150 hz - 75% balance - advanced squarewave on my Dynasty 350 (pre - blue lightning feature.)

Waste of time...
Nice work Closeau!
I tigged a 3x3 stainless cube most of the way, filled it with water and welded it shut. It took a couple of trys adjusting the heat. It's full of water and hopefully won't rust. It's kinda like your picture, but SS and solid.
Nice work on your welding!
Actually it is a waste of time without helium. I have never had any luck with plain jane helium. Argon will not work with this procedure. It has to be an Ultra High Purity grade gas which costs too much to play (unless you got it like that). I used to run DC GTAW a lot on 1/2 and thicker -TX alloy because it maxed out my 300DX to run AC and it was too many passes. I like to get it done and move on to something else.
I really have not given specific settings because it is an expensive process to run. I never messed much with it except on a job to job basis. If you are really interested. look up some of my old posts. I think it is all there. If not, let me know and I can send you some specs via PM or I can post to the forum. Let me know.

Most of my "heavy aluminum" involves marine engine beds and support brackets.
Give me my 304, Optima Pulser, and 30A spoolgun and we're ready to rock and roll on the heavy stuff.
I'm "a bit" older than you, but never found high amp tig welding very enjoyable. In fact, I can't imagine tigging with a Dynasty 700 maxed out.Syncrowave 250 DX Tigrunner

Too hot
High amp GTAW is very uncomfortable. I am one of those guys that keep on pushing the torch until the weld is finished or it gets too hot to run it. I miss my XMT Omptima, and 30A. My ex has or had it all. She was supposed to sell everything along with all my Dynastys, Engine drives, etc and subtract it from what I owe the settlement.
Yea man that is the way to do it if you can get away with wire. So much of what I did over the years was 3/4" through 2" -T6 flat bar bends. The runs were short (2"-6") so the DC Tig was almost perfect for the application. I have never struck an arc with the D700. I hope to soon. I think I can find one to demo soon. I cannot afford one for a while-really don't need it now.
It is really great to hear from you.

Thanks for the detailed response.
I now see that DC tigging alum is best left to the pros not a bozo like me.
Plus even if I got high purity helium and got setup for DC tigging with helium, it woulden't make me weld any better so I'll be better served by spending the money on more blue equipment as budget allows.
I still have fun tigging so I will continue.
PS - Does your dog bite?

sorry to bring up an old thread guys but i just got a new dyn 350 and i can't figure out what the difference between balance control vs differential current adjustment. I understand the technical difference between the two but i dont understand why i would use one over the other. if i raise the balance i will put more EN into the work piece and get better penetration and less cleaning and if i raise the EN amperage i will also get better penetration and less cleaning. so what is the point of differential amperage? why note just leave at 1:1 ratio and make my adjustments with balance?? When would i use differential adjustment instead of balance control?
The way I see it is if balance is 70, and EN is 340 amps, EP is 280 amps, then 70% of the time of the arc is EN at 340amps(melting base), and 30% of the time is EP at 280 amps(melting the electrode/cleaning).
For me I reduce the EP to prevent tungsten erosion and meltback. I also get a more defined bead. Then I adjust my balance for desired cleaning and wet-in. Less EP works better for me on thicker alum. A more balanced EN/EP I use for thinner alum like soda cans.
You can store up to 9 different AC programs for different applications. I keep all the values stored in a small spiral notebook.Nothing welded, Nothing gained

Yes, you are correct and i fully understand that. But my question still remains as to why i would do that. If im welding thin material and i want a more EP going into the tungsten why can't i just reduce my balance? Reducing my balance will also give me more EP and put more amperage into my tungsten. Does it make sense what i am saying?
Does adjust the EP/EN amperage individually do something that adjust the balance WONT accomplish? I guess that is the real question i am trying to figure out.

The CHOW Recipe Challenge
Calling all home cooks!
We want to know what you're cooking in 2011 and to feature the very best food that Chowhounds have to offer.
Submit your best post-holiday healthy vegetarian main dish by January 14. Use our recipe publishing tool, here: http://www.chow.com/recipes/publish Photos of your dish are encouraged. Don't forget to post the link for the recipe back into this thread!
The CHOW Kitchen Editors will select three runners up. We'll make the three dishes, photograph them, and then ask you to vote for the winner in this thread. We will post the winning recipe on CHOW.com's Recipe Hub and will send it out to thousands of subscribers to the CHOW.com Recipe of the Day Newsletter. (Are you a subscriber? You should be! Sign up in the newsletters tab on your profile.) You can expect some cool CHOW schwag in the mail, as well.
We know our community is full of amazing cooks with discerning palates. Let's see what you've got.

Freedom Flix
The Institute for Justice is always looking for new ways to promote the message of freedom. To that end, IJ produced the following videos in-house to tell the stories of our clients and their fight for individual liberty.
None of this — the cases or these videos — would be possible without the continued generosity of our donors. We hope you enjoy them and share them with those who need a little inspiration.
