A growing number of educators around Maryland are discovering that aquaculture (fish farming) offers an effective tool for teaching science.
That's because aquaculture is interdisciplinary — understanding how it's done requires understanding aspects of physics (like water flow), chemistry (water quality and pH), and biology (plants and fish.)
Maryland Sea Grant is developing a network of "aquaculture educators" called Aquaculture in Action. It's based on a model program that began in the Carroll County Public Schools. Now these programs have spread to 36 schools in 12 Maryland counties as well as four state facilities for juvenile offenders (see a complete list of Aquaculture in Action participating schools). We encourage you to join the network!
The Aquaculture in Action program consists of some fundamental elements that are key to its success:
One-week workshops: The workshops support teachers with an instructional guide, materials, and equipment for the construction of a 260-gallon recirculating aquaculture system.
A web portal: This gives teachers and students the ability to enter project data related to their research in the classroom and share information and ideas with those at other schools.
Support by Maryland Sea Grant and its partners throughout the school year: This includes help to obtain native fish for culture and to release them at the end of the school year at approved locations in Maryland.

I've lived outside LA in the rolling hills of Ventura County. I've been to see the Rams and Raiders at the Coliseum and then Rams at Anaheim Stadium. Always plenty of seats available and a generally blase' crowd once you peeled back the hardcore layer. I also remember when the Seahawks tried to move their franchise to LA, already relocating their administrative office before the league intervened to prevent them. Also remember when Al Davis extorted $6million good faith money from the eastern city of Irwindale supposedly to build a stadium on one of their razed rock quarries. What a scumbag crook he was! I've been to Kings games when they they signed Gretzky and you couldn't get a seat at face value, and then after he was gone when you could pick up a couple from scalpers at less than face value.
The LA Metro area is a huge market, pretty affluent including the surrounding burbs so on paper it's a good market. However they are largely fair-weather fans and those who aren't have been emotionally involved in other teams for so long, it's not likely they'll quickly shift their allegiances. Long way of saying, they will back a team that's a novelty - for awhile, or a winner, but unless the game's not televised locally, the LA/Orange County market is far from a license to print money.

(a twisted version of the White rabbit from 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' by Lewis Carrol)
It all came about because I was creating allot of rabbit characters for a company coming up to Easter and something just clicked inside due to the cuteness of the illustrations, and out of that glitch the Not so white rabbit was born. I am hoping to have an exhibition with other 'twisted' characters from the book.
By EMCM
Step 1: Materials and sketchs
I am not sure if this will be a useful instructable due to the lack of visuals for important parts like construction of body, head, jacket and waist coat.
I made this with a rough idea, what I wanted as a result there was no exact plan except a sketch to start with.
Shown here are the primary sketches which stared it all off and materials.
Materials in sections.
Art store materials.
Hot glue gun and hot glue sticks
Wallpaper paste
A tub of Quick Drying Air Dough. (primary school art material)
Acrylic Paint (flesh colour, brown, black)
Plush toy stuffing (used for body, legs and arms)
Gloss Art paint
Marker for marking
Sand paper (for papermache head fore paws and hind paws)
Fabric store
Fake gray fur 1.5 meter square (bought from a material shop) There will be quite a bit of left over.
Lace 40 cm width (scrap material from a second hand cloths store)
Thick black thread
Fine thread for detailed
Velour scrap orange red ( Thanks PKM for the spelling)
Canvas 1.5 meter square rough estimate
Sewing machine ( I had a hobby toy thing, not great but got the work done)
Bead store
Assorted beads Red beads & heart shaped clasp, button like metal beads, mother of pearl shards for teeth.
Found objects
Shredded paper
Heavy / strong Card board (stronger the better so it wont bend)
Scrap of goat hair (for detail)
Sack cloth 40 cm square
Mixing bowl for papermache
This is amazing. I am doing a year long studie of puppets, and I will be using this as a resource, thank you for sharing!
This instructable greatly reminds me of a movie simply named Alice.
It's a stop motion animation, I believe by a Belgian director and team. Most of the animals and characters are made of mismatched bones and taxidermy'd things, The white rabbit is taxidermy, and comes to life from a glass shadowbox in Alice's room before leading her down the rabbit hole. It's very creepy, the kind of thing you'd expect to see on a really bad acid trip.
The idea that we dont normally see cute things (clowns, bunnies, fairgrounds and nursery rhymes and so on) being anything other than cute but when we do see them creepy, they seem to effect us more.
Most really old nursery rhymes have a dark side (most of the Brothers Grimm Stories have deeper meanings, for instance Hansle and Gretel is a polite way of explaining, that childern will grow up get money and then look after their folks when they are old. That is the short version of the explanation).
like for instance "Jack and Jill" has the meaning of losing ones virginity.

Minneapolis, Minn. - The No. 10 Nebraska men's gymnastics team struggled to gain their footing Friday night in the team and all-around finals of the Big Ten Championships. The Huskers finished with a team score of 416.250, their lowest of the season.
NU started off the night on high bar, where they struggled to break 14.00. Sophomore Louis Klein lead the team, posting a 14.35. The Utica, Mich., native tied for sixth overall on the event, pushing him into the event finals Saturday. The team finished with a total of 69.200, tying for fourth with Penn State.
The Huskers then moved to floor, where they regained some confidence. Klein (14.20) as well as juniors Wyatt Aycock (14.15) and Mark Ringle (14.40) helped pull up the team after a rough start. Reigning All-American Grant Perdue finished off the event for the Huskers with a strong routine, earning a 15.50. The sophomore finished off the night tied for first with Michigan's Stacey Ervin, advancing him to the individual event finals.
Nebraska then faced a bye rotation. After their bye, the Huskers moved to pommel horse. NU faced their most difficult horse set of the season, earning an unremarkable 61.450.
Flustered by their fourth rotation, the Huskers moved to rings, where they regained some strength. Junior specialist Donovan Arndt lead Nebraska with a 14.75, just barely missing the cut for individual event finals. Sophomore Robbie Kocks followed close behind, earning a 14.70. The Huskers finished with a team score of 71.200, beating out Ohio State by 2.75 points.
NU's sixth rotation - vault - brought the fight back as four of the five gymnasts earned scores above a 14.70 on the event. Sophomore Gabriel Jolley and junior Micah Christensen tied with scores of 14.80, placing them at 13 overall on the event. Perdue entered the night ranked sixth nationally on the event and proved his placement. He earned a 15.05 on his vault, placing him at eighth overall and moving him into the finals.
Nebraska finished the night on parallel bars, similar to their last regular season meet against reigning NCAA champions, Illinois. Junior all-arounder CJ Schaaf started the final rotation off strong, earning a 14.40 for his routine. Freshman Sam Chamberlain took the lead for the Huskers, posting a 15.00 on the event. The Franklin, Ohio native had entered the night ranked No. 13 nationally and ended up tying for fourth overall. He became the third Husker that would move on to the individual event finals Saturday.
Perdue, Klein and Chamberlain will compete in the Big Ten Championships individual event finals tomorrow at 7 p.m. CST. Day two of the conference championships will be broadcast live on the Big Ten Network. The remaining Huskers will begin preparing for the NCAA Championships, which will take place at Penn Station, Pa., on April 19-21.
Team Score Total
Michigan 438.900
Penn State 434.050
Minnesota 430.350
Ohio State 426.600
Illinois 424.450
Iowa 422.500
Nebraska 416.250

Our students find many opportunities to learn, serve and lead outside the Earlham campus.
In Richmond, students collaborate with local government offices, businesses and non-profit organizations to find solutions to real problems.
Elsewhere in Indiana, students complete summer internships funded by the "Indiana Pathways" program, choosing from positions at businesses, cultural organizations, environmental agencies, hospitals, laboratories, museums and more.
Earlham considers itself part of the international community, and students also find opportunities to work, explore and lead in places far from Richmond. Students regularly participate in scientific research, internships and summer peacemaking projects in other countries.
One of the benefits of attending college in a small town is that our students have opportunities to apply their knowledge and make a difference in our community. Past students have partnered with city government and local non-profit organizations to conduct studies and propose solutions to real-world problems.
To prepare students to be global citizens who are concerned with improving our world, Earlham has long emphasized volunteer service. The humanitarian efforts of many Earlham students, faculty, and staff locally, regionally, and beyond, including attention in the Gulf Region in the continuing aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, have earned the College a place on the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll since its creation. The College is among only 24 colleges nationally hosting a Bonner Scholars Program that awards 15 first-year students with four-year scholarships for continued participation in community outreach.
Off-campus study is a central part of an Earlham education, with most students participating in a semester or yearlong program. Students report that during an off-campus experience they learn new ways of living and thinking, new ways of understanding the world, and they learn more about themselves and their own culture. Earlham-sponsored off-campus programs are usually led by our faculty, and they offer opportunities for internships, service, and individual research.

Same here
Hey Buk,
How are you? I am having the same thing with my econotig. I haven't tried checking with a voltmeter, I was using the tig setup and was getting around 70-80 amps on startup.
I am tacking 1/16" ss together and am using a foot petal. I have tried changing to lift-arc and turning my amperage down to 0. I still around 70-80 amps on startup. I just bought this thing off a buddy and know econtigs aren't high end tiggers.
My econotig's serial is KF788280. Not sure what year though. Do these things start off with 5-10 amps usually?
Just figured I'd keep this thread going, since it's what I'm going through also.
Update: I read on and found out the later year econotigs don't adjust by the knob in lift-arc. So I hooked up a hand remote, that had worked for me in the yard, and still got no control. That means it's internal.
They don't go down that Low.

Nice. That'll work just fine, once i get it figured out. I'm brushing up on schematics.. I chose welding instead of electrical in the skill center. Then I'll compare my readings with good ones.
Thanks for that info.
So I checked my Potentiometer? and it's fine. I took out the board(see pic) and notice Sup1 and Sup2 were broken.
I also read Danielson3 had similar issues and replaced other closely related components with success. If I digikey, my parts won't be mailed till the 4th, which kinda sucks. I'm off to radio shack to see what, if anything, they can provide. Luckily I got into Rc helicopters the last year and have learned how to solder tiny boards and connectors. This may give me the incentive to get that oscilloscope I've been wanting... .
I'm going to replace those and see what happens. I priced out 165 872, which supercedes my board and it's $430. I wouldn't be able to get in that deep, not until the layoffs over, for shure.

airgas called back
875 to replace the main board def not something i can afford..
where did you price out the board at? calling miller direct?
i wish i had taken apart the welder better to inspect the board but then again i didnt want to walk around replacing things.. and spending more money..
875 is def not worth it for me to fix.. i wonder how much i can get for a junk welder
everyone i know keeps saying just pawn it off as a welder that you know nothing about but i believe in karma.. so heh im stuck with it!
im getting back with airgas.. i think imma get in on a rent to own kind of deal..
i need to go pay the 100 bucks and get the welder back asap..

little update.. .
went to pick up the welder.. he said it was the board 100% sure.. he swapped in a test board and it worked fine..
paid my 100 bucks inspection fee went out back to pick up the welder and the tech made me an offer i couldnt refuse on the board..
he told me to just swap it and ittl work..
took welder home cracked it open swapped out the board... fired up the welder.. and nothing.. wont weld.. welder powers on and fan comes on and thats it.. push foot pedal and you hear it "engage" but it wont strike an arc..
cracked open the welder again looked inside everything looked ok... closed it back up tried again still nothing
opened the welder back up and swapped in my old board and that doesnt work either!
now im pissed
going to see if i can talk to the tech tomorrow

Not quite a welding project but not sure where to post it. I need to remove paint from quite a few small to mid size aluminium parts. I have tried beadblasting but that takes time. I have thought about this
As you can see, the cost is up there. Anyone have any experience with something like this? Homemade units? I have been told that a tumbler will beat the parts up too bad. Help or input appreciated. Thanks.

I have a large Dillon model. Never tried a media designed for removing paint.
Works great at polishing brass, though.

cleaning with vibratory tumbler
Hi handyman,
I have one very similar in size to your link. I got it to clean rifle cases for reloading and it worked great for this. For the brass cases, I used ground corncobs and a bit of jewelers rouge. I have also use it to clean rust off 3/4" diameter ball bearings. Used plain dry sand for the ball bearings (heat it in a metal drum to dry it) as damp sand clumps up. I would suggest using the cones or pyramids as this will speed up the cleaning process. It will be a slow process so be prepared to wait for at least 4 hours or more before checking. Also don't overload the mix with your parts as they will not allow the vibrator to develop the proper "motion". It should look like a milkshake in a blender when it is working correctly.
good luckThermal Arc GTSW400, Airco Heliwelder II, Miller Dynasty 350, Hypertherm 1000, oxy-fuel setup, metal cutting bandsaw, air compressor, drill press, etc.:

We used them alot (like 100+ units running at a time) at Honeywell for removing burrs and rough edges from heatsinks and lids. We used geometric ceramic media and it works well.
The paint that's adhered to your parts will require a certain degree of abrasion to get it off, and the material underneath will show wear once there's no paint left to remove. What finish can you live will in the final product? Rough? Smooth? Somewhere in between? This will work but you may need to play with media types to get into tight spaces and sharp inside corners (if there are any).

I have used a cement mixer with just sand in it to deburr parts. It works well, but never tried to remove paint in it or put in aluminum parts. Might give that a try. Mixers can be borrowed, rented, or purchased cheap.

The parts will be painted after being cleaned so a polished finish is not needed or desirable. I have thought about trying a cement mixer as mentioned but most I have seen have paddles which I think may beat the stuff up. Can anyone recommed a chemical stripper. The parts are from snowplow pumps. Can I dip in a bucket in a bucket and hose off? My past experience with stripper hasn't been enjoyable. I have limited space so the beadblaster/large air compressor is out. I had hoped to be able to disassemble the pumps and toss them in something like the vibratory cleaner and forget about them for a while.

Eastwood is way expensive for parts cleaners. Look online for gun brass cleaners. The cleaning is a factor of the media used. There are all kinds of abrasives in all kinds of shapes and carriers. checking online will show you many aspects. I made one from a 5 gal bucket a motor with a bolt welded to the output shaft and a bungee cord. Bolt motor to bottom of bucket. I used some plywood as an adaptor. Weld bolt to motor shaft to one side and add nuts jammed to prevent them from coming loose and secure the power cord well. Fill with parts and media, hang from something and plug it in. Tune the vibrations by adding nuts to the bolt and using a router speed control.
A real donut shaped cleaner works better size for size.Weekend wannab racer with some welders.

Inspiration for the costume mechanic was the goblin riders from the silly battle sequence in Jim Henson's Labyrinth.
It took about 4 months from start to finish, with about an extra month for Research & Development. Final estimated cost was around $450.
Primary materials were:
memory foam, for the skin
PVC pipe & plastic canvas, for the skeleton
a whole lot of hot glue & duct tape, to keep everything together
paper mache of a dodgeball for the yoshi head
plastic hangers, screws, bolts & red leggings to create accordian mechanism for toungue
Spray paint for color. Latex paint wouldve been best, but the deadline had to be met
Most importantly, since a fake one just wouldnt do:
the willpower to walk around for 5 months while growing a big handlebar mustache!

undeniably awesome. i would never have been able to make something so amazing for a costume/puppet thingy.
very nice though. 5 out of 5.
Kind of similar as to what I made a number of years ago only it was an interactive coin bank. Well you could either save real coins or you can save trinkets, curios and or chocolate gold coins. it was also made from paper mache and a few other things like a party favor for the tongue. It was hollow mostly, had a special back scale for opening the mouth, and the saddle can be opened for storage.
Here is a pic of it.
Not a very good pic but you get the idea. :)

From The Fall Of Failure, Success Can Take Flight
Originally published on Sun September 8, 2013 6:26 pm
Diana Nyad's successful swim from Cuba to Key West on Monday was made all the sweeter because she had tried — and failed — four times before.
She learned you should "never, ever give up," but she also learned some practical lessons to help beat the elements in those earlier attempts. Out of failure, she innovated. And out of innovation, she succeeded.
"In my interviews with explorers, over and over again, so many of them said, really, the only failure that counts is dying," says National Geographic staff writer, Hannah Bloch, wrote about failure for the September issue of the magazine.
Up And Away
Bloch tells All Things Considered host Jacki Lyden about the 19th-century Swedish patent clerk who became a polar aeronaut and national hero, Salomon August Andrée.
"This was an era when the arctic and the North Pole were really unchartered territory. And many people had tried to reach the North Pole overland and had died trying," Bloch says.
To circumvent the challenges of others, Andrée took a completely different path: He decided to fly there in a hydrogen balloon. The idea was so bold that he even convinced the King of Sweden and Alfred Nobel to back his project. He and a small crew took flight on July 11, 1897.
They never made it to the North Pole; their remains were discovered some three decades later. The tuxedo he'd brought along to wear on his triumphant return remained packed away, unused.
But their failure served as motivation for many other polar aeronauts. Italian explorer Umberto Nobile eventually made the first successful trip in 1926. He, too, traveled by air, but flew a dirigible instead of a hydrogen balloon.
Coming Back From The Edge
It took others' persistence to learn from Andrée's mistakes, just as he had learned from those before him. Some risk-takers, though, are fortunate enough to learn from their own failures.
American anthropologist primatologist Agustin Fuentes, for example, changed the course of his career after getting lost in the jungles of Borneo.
Fuentes had been trekking deep into the jungle to catch a glimpse of the elusive maroon leaf monkey when he realized he was in trouble. Being lost was dangerous in a region full of leopards and venomous snakes.
"I was actually helped out of the jungle by an orangutan who came down, got me, and walked me back into camp," he said in a Google+ Hangout sponsored by National Geographic.
"But the punch line here is that early in my career, I wanted to study those things on the edge, the last remaining members of a species or something like that," Fuentes says. "I failed, so my experience there gave me the hint that ... maybe what you should be looking at is not these last few things living out there, but those primates that do OK with people."
Since then, Fuentes has made a successful career researching a much less timid primate: the macaque.
"Think about what the world would look like if there was no such thing as failure," National Geographic's Bloch says. "What would be the point of doing anything? I think failure gives it what gives success its meaning."
It was only this past Monday, you may recall, that the long-distance swimmer Diana Nyad became the first person to swim from Cuba to Key West without a shark cage. It was a stunning success for the 64-year-old swimmer, and it was made all the sweeter because she had tried and failed four times before.
DIANA NYAD: We should never ever give up.
LYDEN: Inspirational. But she also learned some practical lessons from the earlier attempts. This time, she used a full-body suit and a mask to protect from jelly fish stings. Out of failure, she innovated. And out of innovation, she succeeded.
HANNAH BLOCH: In my interviews with explorers, so many of them said, really, the only failure that counts is dying.
LYDEN: That's National Geographic staff writer Hannah Bloch. She looked into the value of failure in the September issue of the magazine. And since this is National Geographic, she focused on adventurers and explorers, like the Swede Salomon August Andree. Andree was a humble patent clerk at the end of the 19th century. He was also a tinkerer, a risk taker, someone unafraid to try.
BLOCH: This was an era when the Arctic and the North Pole were really uncharted territory. And many people had tried to reach the North Pole by going overland. And they had died trying.
LYDEN: Andree saw these failures, and he thought he might have just the answer.
BLOCH: Salomon Andree just had this very bold, optimistic idea that he could basically circumvent a lot of the difficulties that others had encountered by going overland by going in a hydrogen balloon.
LYDEN: He convinced the king of Sweden and Alfred Nobel to back him. And on July 11, 1897, he and a small crew took flight.
BLOCH: They had flown for 65 and a half hours, and they landed on the ice about 298 miles south of the North Pole.
LYDEN: It turned out to be a fatal error. Their remains were discovered some three decades later along with a tuxedo which Andree had brought along to wear on his triumphant return. But his failure was an inspiration to many other polar aeronauts, for example, the Italian explorer Umberto Nobile, who made the trip in 1926. He didn't use a hydrogen balloon, however. Now, let's turn to another explorer and go somewhere a little bit warmer.
LYDEN: You hear that? Listen closely. It's a jungle on the island of Borneo, and the faint rustling in the background is a maroon leaf monkey jumping from branch to branch high up in the canopy. Many years ago, American primatologist Agustin Fuentes was trying to study the animals in Borneo. But they're shy monkeys, and Fuentes had to keep trekking deeper and deeper into the lush environment to get a closer peek.
AGUSTIN FUENTES: I got lost in the jungle and was actually helped by an orangutan who came down, got me and walked me back into camp. Early in my career, I wanted to study those things on the edge, the last remaining members of a species. It was really a lesson. I failed, so my experience there gave me the hint that, you know what, maybe what we should be looking at is not these last few things living out there, but those primates that do OK with people.
LYDEN: Since then, Fuentes has made a successful career as a macaque researcher, a primate that is anything but shy.
BLOCH: Think about what the world would look like if there was no such thing as failure. What would be the point in doing anything? I think failure is what gives success its meaning.
LYDEN: Diana Nyad would agree with that, and so would Umberto Nobile, the guy who did fly to the North Pole in a dirigible. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Ernie Jones and Darrell Linville are two ordinary guys who have had extraordinary careers.
Jones and Linville retired last month from the Charles County Sheriff's Office after lengthy careers as latent fingerprint experts.
Jones, 70, analyzed evidence after the assassination attempt on Alabama Gov. George Wallace in Laurel in 1972, and assessed crime scenes of Washington, D.C., and Prince William County's "Freeway Phantom" in 1971.
Linville, 74, examined fingerprints for the Watergate scandal and the conspiracy investigation of the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis.
"The Watergate case, I just happened to be working I guess the right shift when all of it broke and they brought [the suspects] in," said Linville, who has been married for almost 51 years and has two sons. He said that each of the suspects had three lawyers and gave several different names when they were brought in for questioning.
While Linville did not testify in court for the Watergate scandal, he did make identifications of fingerprints from the crime scene.
"I know they touched [surfaces at the scene], but what it had to do with the break-in, I really don't know," Linville said. He had no idea the case would become so historical. He was just doing his job.
According to Linville and Jones, a fingerprint expert's job is not to pass judgment or have an opinion about a case or investigation. Fingerprints they examine match fingerprints in the database or they do not match.
"Fingerprints are not incriminating unless you're a criminal," Linville said.
When Wallace was shot, Jones was at the campaign rally as part of the detail to provide protection. He helped secure the scene after "another routine case."
"Every case, big or small, is handled the same way. The basics are still the same, no matter what you do," said Jones, who has been married for 37 years and has four children.
Jones and Linville grew up in small towns and began working for the Federal Bureau of Investigation right out of high school.
Linville was born in Boone County, W.Va., 20 miles from the state capital of Charleston. He said he was determined not to end up working in the coal mines.
He worked for the FBI for 12 years, where he began learning about fingerprint identification. He then worked for the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police for 25 years, followed by a few years with the city of Alexandria Police Department. He worked for the Charles County Sheriff's Office for 10 years.
Jones is from Chincoteague, Va. He worked for the FBI as a fingerprint technician for more than four years before becoming a sworn officer for the Prince George's Police Department for three years, then joined the Criminal Investigation Division for 17 years.
He is retiring from Charles County Sheriff's Office after more than 26 years. He also has served as an investigator in the medical examiner's office.
The addition of fingerprint computers in 1983 only slightly changed the way Jones and Linville did their jobs, they said. The computers helped them keep a record of fingerprints and narrow the search for compatible prints, but could never replace a fingerprint expert identifying whether prints in a database match prints at a crime scene.
"The computer doesn't know a thing about fingerprints. It only knows what information we put into it," Jones said.
Linville said that even if he or Jones are 100 percent certain of the identification of fingerprints, they always get the other person to check the ID.
In the last year, fingerprinting technology has grown so that all fingerprints are taken electronically. Ink and paper fingerprints are no longer accepted, Jones said.
Both men attempted to retire three years ago but were urged to stay longer.
"There comes a time when you say it's time to leave while you still can, while you can leave on your own two feet," said Linville, who plans to fish and visit the Grand Canyon.
Jones said he has enjoyed his time with Charles County Sheriff's Office and wanted to retire on a good note. He plans to travel.
"Our top priority is stay alive," said Jones of retirement. "At our age, staying alive is good. Anything we accomplish past that point is just extra stuff we've done."

Here he comes. It's been seven years since Morrissey played Portland, but now the Oscar Wilde-quoting, gladioli-throwing former Smiths frontman is returning to our town in support of his ninth solo album, last winter's Years of Refusal, and recent B-sides collection Swords. Whether you're a Moz neophyte or a longtime superfan who carries a scrap of one of his shirts in your wallet, we've got a primer on the man behind the pompadour to prepare you for Monday night's performance at the Roseland.
Morrissey is worshipped like few other musical icons. Despite his well-guarded personal life, his fans feel like they know him, which earns him a sort of reverent fanaticism. There's even a book about him called Saint Morrissey. (Even those who claim Elvis is still alive don't use holy qualifiers—Presley may be the king, but "saint" trumps royalty!) But, strangely, Moz sings in a stately croon that went out of style almost 50 years ago. His fashion sense and stylistic influences can seem even older than that. And his die-hard supporters are a real band of outsiders: rockabilly Mexican boys from California's Inland Empire; animal-rights activists; pale, effete boys and girls who are ready to rip his clothes off; bespectacled rock nerds. So, what is it about the Mancunian, born Steven Patrick Morrissey, that has made him such a vital and venerated force in music for over 20 years? We've broken it down into six easy pieces for you.
The biting wit:
Critics think of Morrissey as a miserablist, but they're missing the humor inherent in his sharp-tongued prose. Sure, he can wallow in disappointment with the best of them. He can be overtly political. And few people have written as deftly about dying for romantic love as he has ("If a double-decker bus crashes into us/ To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die," he sang on "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out"). But he isn't all Meat Is Murder polemics or "Unlovable" self-pity. How can anyone who wrote the line "Standing at the urinal/ He thinks he's got the whole world in his hands" (from "The Boy Racer") be accused of humorlessness?
The voice:
An unselfconscious crooner, Morrissey is most associated with the louche, theatrical delivery of songs like "The Last of the Famous International Playboys," but when the occasion calls for it, his iconic baritone can be hauntingly subdued (see: the Smiths' "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want"). His vocals, like his Cary Grant looks, are aging well, and both his rich, resonant low tones and his hiccupping falsetto remain in good shape and unmistakably Morrissey.
The consummate collaborator:
While Morrissey may seem like the definition of a solo star, his music has always been the product of generous (and well-chosen) collaborations. After the breakup of the Smiths, critics wondered if Morrissey would find another partner like Johnny Marr to balance the acidity of his lyrics and the grandeur of his delivery with such winningly jangly melodies. But Moz persevered, working with celebrated musicians like the Durutti Column's Vini Reilly (who arranged much of Viva Hate) and Bowie guitarist Mick Ronson (who produced Your Arsenal). And his longest partnerships since the Marr heyday have been with his relatively unknown but simpatico guitarists Alain Whyte and Boz Boorer, with whom he's co-written many of his songs since 1992.
The ambiguous sexuality:
Aside from being an excellent marketing tactic that keeps Morrissey shrouded in hard-to-come-by rock-star mystique, his vague sexual preferences have made him a cipher for his audience. Boys and girls alike can crush on him. Macho Latino teens can worship him without reproach. Wary teenagers confused about their own sexuality can look up to him. He can be whatever you want him to be—gay, straight, asexual—while maintaining an enviable private life in the public sphere.
The "outsider" persona:
Morrissey has always been the "outsiders' outsider" (a phrase he himself used in an 1999 interview with The Times magazine), and as such, the outcasts and outliers of the world feel a great affinity for him. From his gay followers to his huge Mexican-American fanbase, Morrissey speaks eloquently for those who often don't have much of a voice in popular culture. And for that, his fans love him with a very personal, almost religious fervor.
The original:
Give or take a cardigan, little about Morrissey's style has changed over the past 20-plus years. Yes, he's matured, but the laughably long album titles and winking self-deprecation remain. Morrissey has always carved out an original niche. And by ascribing to no particular genre, he has become one himself. Which is, after all, the best explanation for his enduring popularity.
SEE HIM: Morrissey plays the Roseland Theater on Monday, Nov. 30. 8 pm. $49.50. All ages.

1 (12 ounce) package

1 pound
bulk Italian sausage
1 small
onion, chopped
2 cloves
garlic, minced
red bell peppers, chopped
1 small
zucchini, chopped
1 small
yellow squash, chopped
1 cup
mushrooms, sliced
salt and pepper to taste
1 (14.4 ounce) can
diced tomatoes
1 cup
tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon
dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon
dried basil
1/4 teaspoon
dried oregano
1 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
MMMMMMM!!!!!!! So good. I only made a few changes, based on reviews, and based on what I had on hand. Will DEFINITELY make this again! I used three sweet sausages and two hot sausages, cut off the casings and browned it all together. I had fresh basil, so I chopped it up and used about 1/8cup. I used more garlic than it calls for, but I ALWAYS do - we LOVE garlic! Also, I intended to buy zucchini, but upon closer inspection, it was an italian squash...not the same thing, but it was still tasty. I will buy a zucchini next time though. I chopped all of the veggies up very small, hoping my daughter would eat them (no dice!). My husband commented on how small they were, and that he preferred them that way - I do, too...you get more flavors in one bite if they're smaller. I used a 15oz can of tomato sauce because another reviewer said it needed more sauce. SUPER yummy! Thanks so much!! :)
This left us wanting more flavor...

My husband and I liked this sauce, but I did make some adjustments, instead of crumbling the sausage I cooked it first then cut it into pieces. Also I needed more sauce, so I added a bit from a jar. All in all a good recipe.
This dish was amazing - and even better the next day! I followed one reviewer's advice and diced the veggies up really small so each bite was full of veggies. It really made it wonderful!! I was planning to use two cans of diced tomatoes (b/c so many people said it needed more sauce) but realized I only had one so I improvised and threw in 3/4 of a can of creamy tomato soup (the kind you microwave and drink) and it came out wonderful!! I froze some for a future dinner and can only imagine how flavorful it will be when I eat it!! I used Jimmy Dean's sage flavored sausage and added some crushed red pepper to give it a kick. Will probably use spicy sausage next time. Thank you Heather for a terrific & easy to make recipe!!
Excellent. I would have followed it to a T, if I had all the ingredients. But whoa did my version turn out delicious. The only changes I made were these...I simmered is for an hour after added the 28oz (not 14 oz) can of petite diced tomatos, along with 1 T of white sugar. Also, I put small dollops of creamy ricotta cheese on top of each serving, and just sprinkles of parmesan, if wnated. The ricotta was the perfect addition to this very mellow yet rich tomato-ey sauce. Ooooooh, this one is a keeper!
Very good, very easy weeknight dinner. I just increased some of the spices and left off thyme. Did not think thyme went with pasta sauce. I also used the 28oz canned of diced tomatoes and one small can of tomato paste in place of the tomatoe sauce.
We absolutely loved this dish. The fresh veggies make this so attractive and delicious. I made exactly as written with a few small exceptions. I added some red pepper flakes, used a 14 oz can of tomato sauce, and only about 8 oz pasta. I really wanted more veggie than pasta, and this worked perfectly. I used tri-color vegetable rotini. What a pretty dish. Delectable! Thanks for this nice submission, Heather.
A great last-minute dinner decision. I used 1/2 pound of bulk fresh pork sausage, one medium shredded zucchini, canned mushrooms, and 1 entire undrained can of fire-roasted garlic diced tomatoes. I did add more of the spices since I wasn't using Italian sausage and a few drops of hot pepper sauce. A different and delicious pasta - good with crusty garlic bread.

After removing the stickers on some of the plastic materials using cooking oil, the plastic lose its shininess. How to I get that shininess back?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Home Improvement Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for contractors and serious DIYers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
You can get all these crappy aerosols that say shine this, shine that..
Finding the right one is very difficult. I used to buy this creamy liquid from a chemical supplier.. It was amazing! It restored the plastic to its natural, factory looking shine. This was in South Africa and years ago..
So i found this.. (it is not my shop.. its just the only guy who has this stuff)
I found this after testing and trying ... 12 other sprays, miracle shines and what not. This is not exactly what i used in SA.. but it works well
The key is to find a silicone based solution. Good Luck

Although it's not quite as pretentious as Aspen, Vail is one of the Rocky Mountains' most luxurious resort towns. Vail is the country's largest single-mountain ski resort, and is continually ranked as one of the most popular ski resorts in the country. Even celebrities come to weave down its snowy slopes.
In the winter, the main draws here are obviously skiing and snowboarding. Vail Mountain is one of the largest in North America, and has three distinct sections: The popular Front Side, with options for all levels of skiiers (including plenty of trails for beginners); Blue Sky Basin, with gladed terrain; and the seven Back Bowls, for more experienced skiiers. Vail also offers excellent restaurants (though most are expensive), and nightlife and entertainment options abound, especially on Bridge Street.
Once the snow melts, the slopes are open again for a whole different type of fun. If you're visiting in summer, be sure to remember your hiking boots, because the trails offer spectacular views and wildlife. Trout prosper in the streams and lakes in the area, making Vail a hot spot for regional fishing. When the sun sets, live bands awaken Vail's downtown restaurant patios.
Vail extends over quite a bit of land, but the famous Vail would be Vail Village. This iconic hamlet offers a number of ski-in, ski-out resorts, as well as upscale clothing and dining, art galleries, and things for the little ones to enjoy, like a bowling alley and movie theater. And no need to worry about ice in the winter -- the sidewalks are heated.
Other areas around the mountain include Golden Peak, Lionshead, and Cascade Village. Each of these offers a little bit of a different vibe. Cascade is the smallest base area, and is a bit more low-key. Lionshead might be a good option for families, as it has a decent number of restaurants and a popular ice rink during the winter. Meanwhile, Golden Peak is a great place to stay if you want to have convenient access to the mountain, but without the large crowds that Vail Village attracts. During the summertime, Golden Peak's Gerald Ford Amphitheater is the live music hub for Vail.

1 cup
rice flour
3 tablespoons
tapioca flour
1/3 cup
potato starch
4 tablespoons
dry buttermilk powder
1 packet
sugar substitute
1 1/2 teaspoons
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
baking soda
1/2 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon
xanthan gum
3 tablespoons
canola oil
2 cups
We've tried lots of different GFCF (Gluten and Casein Free) recipes for pancakes and they were... edible. Most were really flat like tortillas. Not this recipe! My kids had NO clue they were eating gluten free! (My daughter needs enzymes in order to consume wheat or milk products.) She thought they tasted like the real thing.
I did change a few things.... instead of the canola oil, I used applesauce. Instead of the buttermilk powder and 2 cups of water, I used almond milk. It was a little runny (so, I'd probably add the almond milk until it was the perfect consistancy.) I also added some dried blueberries to the mix. :)
Other than that, they were fluffy & thick and oh so good! The batch was big enough for me to freeze some. Every morning my kids wake up and ask for more yummy pancakes. Thanks a lot for posting this :)
I did not care for this recipe. The interior texture is all mushy - no matter how you cook them, even when the exterior is nearly black (I tried this to see if they would improve), they still stay mushy on the inside! What a waste of expensive ingredients.

This recipe is great! I used rice flour from an asian food market because it's ground so fine that you don't get that gritty taste that some rice flours have in the finished product. Instead of artificial sweetener I used one tablespoon of sugar. To one cup of the batter I added 1/2 cup frozen blueberries. To another cup of batter I grated one medium apple and added 1/4 tsp. cinnamon.
My family loved them and there was no aftertaste that some flours leave. Can't say enough about how great these were!!!
Excellent! It really does have a consistency and taste comparable to wheat flour pancakes. Much to the dismay of my long suffering family, I've tried many gluten free pancake recipes and store bought mixes...all of which have been disappointing. I made a few changes to adapt to the fact that I couldn't buy dry powdered buttermilk, only dry powdered whole milk. Since I substituted regular milk powder I also added 2 T (heaped) sour cream. I also added 1/3 C additional water as the batter seemed a bit too thick. Instead of xanthan gum I used 4T of gluten substitute. I have found that the gluten substitute replicates the texture of normal wheat flour much better than xanthan gum. Generally you use 2T/20 grams of gluten sub for every 1C/+-100 grams of gluten free flour mix. I also added a can of rinsed blueberries which made them extra tasty! I had extra batter left over which I used the next morning with the same great results. Thank you Joe for this great recipe (my family thanks you even more)!
These are AMAZING pancakes! I couldn't even tell that they were GF! Instead of the 4 T. dry buttermilk and 3 cups water we use 2 T. Vinegar and enough milk to make 2 cups. We also use real sugar. Thanks for this recipe!
I used strawberry applesauce in place of the oil, and soy milk in place of the water/buttermilk powder. This was amazing!
This is a great recipe! My husband doesn't even know I am using a gluten-free recipe - and I'm not telling him. I did make a few changes, though. I have a grain mill, so I used 1/4 cup brown basmati rice and 1/3 cup regular brown rice milled to make 1 cup flour. I also used 1 1/2 cups lo-fat buttermilk since I didn't have buttermilk powder (use in place of water and buttermilk powder). I don't like the taste of artificial sweetners so I used 8 drops of stevia liquid (an herbal substitute for sugar)in place of the packet of sugar substitute. They turned out great and I have used this recipe for family and guests alike and received rave reviews. No one has even asked me if they are gluten-free. You can add blueberries, too. YUM! Thanks, Joe, for a great recipe.
This was my first gluten free recipe experience. The pancakes were excellent. I was afraid my kids wouldn't like them because we are used to eating whole wheat pancakes made with hard white wheat milled in our grain mill, and eat them several times per week. My oldest son who is very picky loved them! He said that they were so good you don't even need syrup with them.
The texture was perfect and I am glad I doubled the recipe so I can freeze some. Here are the changes we made:
1 cup freshly ground long grain brown rice flour was what I used for the rice flour
rather than art. sweetener, 1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup added to the liquid ing.
Just under 2 c. buttermilk rather than milk/powder mixture
I also substituted 3 tbsp melted butter for the oil, mixing it into the liquid mixture with a hand blender.
So good! This saves breakfast for my pancake eating family.

In the wake of important victories for horses, we are dismayed to learn that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) today approved an application for horse slaughter inspections at Valley Meat Company LLC in Roswell, New Mexico, and will issue horse slaughter permits in Missouri and Iowa on Monday.
The inherent cruelty of horse slaughter is reason enough for our government to prevent this practice, but the dangers to consumers, the clear public opposition to slaughtering our horses for foreign diners, and the harm we know this will cause our communities make this a reckless and hazardous move by the USDA.
These plants are now slated to be the first facilities in the U.S. to slaughter our horses for human consumption since 2007, when the few remaining plants closed after states took action to shutter them and Congress voted to eliminate funding for horse meat inspections. The two Agriculture Appropriations bills that will eliminate the possibility of horse slaughter in the U.S. are expected to be voted on by the full House and Senate in July—today's announcement is a serious federal bureaucratic misstep that defies common sense.
"Moving ahead with the costly proposition of funding horse slaughter inspections is wasteful, cruel and reckless," says Nancy Perry, Senior Vice President of ASPCA Government Relations. "Recent polling shows that 70% of New Mexicans, 70% of Missourians and 71% of Iowans, along with the overwhelming majority of Americans, oppose the slaughter of U.S. horses for human consumption. Given the recent outrage over horse meat entering the food supply in Europe, this decision is irresponsible. The USDA is knowingly diverting tax dollars from programs that protect American consumers to programs that jeopardize them. It is time for Congress to take action to prevent American horses from suffering this terrible fate and stop horse slaughter in the U.S. once and for all."
Passing the Safeguard American Foods Export (SAFE) Act (S. 541/ H.R. 1094) is now more crucial than ever. Doing so will prevent the slaughter of horses in the U.S., end the current export of American horses for slaughter abroad, and protect the public from consuming toxic horse meat. Please be a voice for the horses TODAY and urge your members of Congress to cosponsor the SAFE Act to protect horses and consumers. This nightmarish trade must be stopped.
Now that school's out for summer, why not spend a bit of extra time with your pooch? By working with your dog to teach her new tricks or by providing her with some TLC, you'll strengthen the bond between you two. Summer is the perfect time to take your dog on a hike, or to bring her along on your next road trip.
As temperatures rise, it's a good idea to brush up on hot weather safety tips. And, for some additional guidance, Houlton Institute is launching its Fundamentals of Dog Care course on July 15, developed in collaboration with ASPCA experts. The first online course of its kind, which will run for six weeks, is designed to provide pet parents with knowledge and competencies necessary to navigate the responsibilities of caring and creating a proper environment for a dog. There's still time to register for the course. Check out what one attendee had to say about it!
"This course really CHANGED things for me. I feel like this course gave me a new set of eyes, a new set of skills, and a real sense of responsibility!

Guest blog by Nancy Perry, Senior Vice President of ASPCA Government Relations
Last week proved quite a week for animal issues in our nation's capitol. The U.S. House of Representatives took up the Farm Bill, a large agriculture-policy bill passed by Congress every five years. The ASPCA has worked hard to ensure that the bill contained priority language to make it illegal to bring children to, or be a spectator at, organized animal fights (it is spectators who fuel the market for these disgusting events).
Unfortunately, the Farm Bill also included several troubling provisions for animals.
The worst of these was a provision authored by Rep. Steve King (R-IA) that sought to gut state and local laws that improve conditions for farm animals and any other animals that might fall under the vague "agricultural product" label. It could have invalidated important state laws that ban gestation crates and battery cages, and even undermine laws regulating puppy mills, preventing the killing of dogs or cats for food, and protecting consumers from dangerous food products.
An amendment was proposed to remove and replace this terrible provision with standards to improve the lives of egg-laying hens. Unfortunately, House leadership ruled against consideration of this amendment, as well as amendments to ban horse slaughter and clamp down on the practice of horse soring.
In a bittersweet twist of fate, the House Farm Bill was ultimately defeated on the floor last Thursday afternoon. It failed under the weight of all-too-familiar Washington gridlock. As the House of Representatives goes back to the drawing board with the Farm Bill, the ASPCA will work to make sure the bill includes animal welfare reforms and that Congress allows fair and open debate on issues like horse slaughter, horse soring and the treatment of our nation's egg-laying hens.
On a more positive note, the Senate Appropriations Committee passed an amendment sponsored by Senators Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Lindsay Graham (R-SC) to prevent horse slaughter from returning to the United States. Stay tuned for more information about that important development for our nation's horses.
Whatever the challenges may be, the ASPCA continues to press policymakers in Washington, D.C., and in state capitals across the country to support better laws for animals. Be sure to sign up for the Advocacy Brigade for the latest news on legislation to protect animals.
During a trip to New York City, Bill H. and his family decided to adopt a dog at the ASPCA Adoption Center. Lex, now named Sandy, was one of many animals rescued in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in October 2012. Bill shared the following story with us about Sandy's happy new life in Pennsylvania:
Adopting Sandy was a product of luck, timing and coincidence. Denise, my wife, and I were visiting New York City with our daughter Amanda, and stayed at a hotel next door to the APSCA. As we walked by, Amanda's first question was, "Can we get another cat?"
We saw a couple of dogs that Amanda and I liked, but Denise was not sold—that is until she saw Sandy. Our introduction to Sandy involved a great deal of barking, but she became very happy and her tail began wagging like crazy upon seeing ASPCA staff. A potential adopter was visiting with Sandy, so we decided to come back the next day. We decided that Sandy was a good fit for us, and we hoped we were a good fit for her.
From that point on, Sandy has been nothing but happy surprises. She got into our car and sat on Denise's lap for the whole ride back to Pennsylvania. We learned at the Adoption Center that Sandy might take a little longer to warm up to men. When we got home, I was sitting on our deck while Sandy explored. After a few minutes, she walked up to me, licked my face, and then rolled over and sprawled out, waiting for her me to pet her belly. Sandy also became fast friends with my 20-year-old son, Zack.
We have had a few people in and out of the house since Sandy's arrival, and she has reacted to them with varying degrees of wariness, but has warmed up to each. We host a large deck party every year, and struggled with what to do with Sandy during the party. We decided if she became uncomfortable, we would put her in our room. The best part of the party was how Sandy handled everything. In the beginning, she stuck by me or Zack. By the end of the night Sandy was "working" the party, "introducing" herself to various guests and letting them know she expected to have her belly rubbed if they were deemed lucky enough to get the "rollover."
Surf's up, dudes!
Last weekend, we were delighted to attend the 8thAnnual Loews Surf Dog Competition, Unleashed by Petco. Thousands of spectators and hundreds of dogs gathered at sunny Imperial Beach in southern California to catch some righteous waves and help fight animal cruelty.
More than 40 dogs waxed their boards and carved up some waves, while their adoring fans met cute adoptable animals from the Humane Society of San Diego. The event raised more than $20,000 for the ASPCA.
YouTube sensation Tillman the English Bulldog took first place in the large dog category. Who knew his skills extended beyond skateboarding!? Talk about a dog of all trades!
Thank you to the Loews Surf Dog Competition, Unleashed by Petco and the San Diego Humane Society for hosting us and these talented pups!
For a closer look at the event, check out this news clip from ABC.

Comments about Zildjian K Custom Dark Complex Ride:
I love Zildjian Products, especially the K series of cymbals, but this one left me scratching my head. While working at a Guitar Center's drum department, I encountered this cymbal frequently.
Its overtones were inharmonic, trashy, and simply poor sounding. There was very little stick response, and a huge wash of those clashing, nail scratching overtones. I can not see any possible genre of music that this cymbal could excel at.
It feels like someone printed out sheet metal, smashed it with a pipe wrench a few times, and called it good. Its flimsy, obnoxious, and completely un-musical. Look elsewhere.

What would be the family structure of the future?
People are in constant movement, nowadays is many examples of married couples living and working around the Globe both coming from opposite sides of the World, having very little time to spare for their family, will economics and logistics will influence on the future structure of the family?
Aug 1 2013: Yes.
People are sacrificing family life for lifestyle.
You see the results in the divorce rate, juvenile delinquency courts, and substance abuse programs.
Long term, people will stop wanting to have children and live hedonistic life styles dedicated to themselves.
This mentality takes exactly one generation to be removed form the gene pool.
we are looking for instant satisfaction, quick solutions to problems, early retirements, and letting our investments work so we don't have to work. We are losing the work ethic, patients, grit and integrity required to successfully raise children. We are looking to education facilities, day care facilities and grandparents to raise OUR children.
We are becoming less proactive about solving our own problems and more ready to be a victim some way shape or form to extort money or sympathy from those around us. We are immediately looking to blame our kids, teachers or the education system when our kids do not excel in some subject. We are adverse to being held accountable for our actions and try and get away with as much as possible or win at any cost. We seem to worship consumption of alcohol, sexual innuendos and gigiloish behavior. We buy our way out of problems that should be solved by being held accountable or never become problems in the first place by demonstrating strength and control of character and emotions.We seem to be willing to forgive our athletes, politicians, and sports heroes for acting like criminals, but throw the book at people committing crimes while trying to survive and never forgive those trying to recover from bad decisions leading to confinement. These lessons are being learned by our children as they watch our actions.
Most adults know right from wrong, they just need to choose to live a life that serves as an example for their children.This takes work, sacrifice, and strength of character. Adults need to be willing to do these things to hold the family together.
Aug 4 2013: Robert if you could shape a model how will it be?
Aug 4 2013: I do not think the ideal model of family structure of the future will change substantially from the current model, or the model of past generations. This model will be a pair of parents that love each other and their children unconditionally, extended family that supports the marriage and the children it produces. However, with longer life expectancy and more difficult job environments, the number of grandparents living in homes will increase and the amount of time spent by children leaving the home to go out on their own will also increase.
What do I think are the roles in the ideal model? Both parents first do what is necessary for the family to survive, including what is needed to make the marriage survive. Parents need to decide what is the best combination of time spent earning a living vs time spent raising children. In this discussion, the value of quality time spent with children as they learn and grow needs to take precedence over growing family wealth during these formative years. In the event a family can not survive on one income, then options involving child care or assistance from other extended family members might be considered.
I think family models tend to be influenced by many external influences and they need to be strong to be able to handle the peaks and valleys of life. The stress of living on the edge of your credit limit, having two chaotic schedules involving work hours and travel, and trying to balance daycare, healthcare and economic turmoil is a survival challenge to the basic family units. The trade-off associated with having two parents working to improve lifestyle while sacrificing child care and adding stress to the family is a subtle threat to the survival of marriages. This needs to be considered carefully in plans made by parents for the survival of the family.
Aug 5 2013: Thanks Robert, I m glad you are taking part of this conversation, when I look around I see many friends asking them selfs what is the best way to form a family?
some of them say "I have sacrifice my future in order to have a "family" both male or female have this dilema of wasted time and their youth,, It feels many people have experience separation after 8 or 10 years of marriage and they feel lost when "family" is not longer present.
I also see many singles traveling, working, and just going trough life with empty hearts..Aug 5 2013: .Thanks!
I would "shape a model"
close to the 10,000 years ago norm
in our DNA.
Such as:
a. Husband
The husband half is biologically assigned in charge of food-seeking, habitat constructing, defending, donating all kinds of co-body-safety messages ceaselessly to his wife (kissing, embracing, and so on) .
His ability and smartness come mainly from the ceaseless intimate encouragement of the other half of the marriage ---- the wife.
b. Wife
The wife is biologically assigned in charge of the child bearing, child bring up, house hold, and etc.
She transfers all the physical substantial materials from her own body into the baby's. Also, she exhausts all her spiritual energy to bring up the baby or child ---- the DNA-carrier of both the husband and wife.
That is where her mother-greatness and beauty come from.
Her beauty and virtue are support-enhanced by the ceaseless intimate co-body message from the other half of the marriage ---- the husband.
This is the right way that the husband and wife of a marriage work; and the right way that happy life of the couple comes from.
Then, there will be no issue of gender equality at all.
(Be Happy Validly! p 19).
Aug 5 2013: What has made this model change over the times? if it all ready existed what happend on the way?Aug 6 2013: .
Hi Gorge Contreras,
My answer:
(1) Invalid (harmful) happiness "has made this model change over the times'.
(2) "On the way", people will recognize and quit the invalid happiness
or let new technology quit it.
Or else?
Aug 6 2013: what is your personal choice if you feel like sharing? thanksAug 4 2013: This is such an important subject I wish to hear more your points of view.
bart hsi
Aug 3 2013: I agree that the family structure is already undergoing changes that tends to become almost "individualized" in the sense that even in a "big" family consists of a rich parent(s) with many "children" are taking their time with their own friends through electronic media. So not only there are less and less old-fashioned getting together at a dinner table, or an after dinner chat, everybody are just like living in a hotel with other unrelated guests. In poor families, the parent(s) actually doesn't have anything to talk with their children anyway.

So, like Wayne was saying, because of the economic problem as well as the increasing proportion of elderly among us, we should seriously consider the multi-generation family structure where at least the very young children would have someone to talk to, or to gather some infomation about the social values and responsibilities.
I have read that there are some housing projects which have built buildings for multi-generaton dwellings to accommodate M-G families. However, there are practical difficulties of putting M-G families with blood relations "under one roof". Furthermore, even with families with modest financial capability, it would still cause lot of inconvenience to its younger generation to be solely responsible to care for a handicapped elderly all year long.
I suggest a reasonable solution that we should build a series of condominiums which will put a group of elderly with a group of healthy middle aged young parents on the same floor, but in separate wings. The members in the condo may or may not be blood related at all. But they could be considered as "adopted" grannies and grandchildren. The condo should be equipped with conveyors and hospital type of beds for the elderly, and food and laundry services for everybody. The unemployed parents or teenagers could also serve for the condo managers, service workers and caretakers, etc. with pay. The sharing of facility and caretaking by all, makes more economic sense.
Aug 4 2013: it will be a very interesting project!Aug 3 2013: i believe because of the structural change in the economy there will be 4 models of the family structure
1. Multiple generations under 1 roof. The grand parents own the home and the children can not afford childcare nor a house. The grand parents watch the children while both parents are working.
1.1. Multiple generations under 1 roof with a single parent with children and grand parents.
2. Single family with both parents working, probably away from the rest of the family - grand parents and siblings- due to job. It could be that the parents do not work in the same city or one travels a lot.
2.1. Single parent with children.
3. Only 1 parent works and 1 parent stays home.
I believe that the number of families following 3 is decreasing.
Aug 3 2013: Wayne, some of your examples like 1 and 1.1 are happening due to Immigration many of these people have create new relationships, just confirming that humans were ever they go they need a sence of family.
Aug 3 2013: yes but it is also happening today in the us. 38% of the individuals between the ages of 21-30 are living with their parents due to economy.
Aug 4 2013: Wayne how do you see the future? if it was way to see it trough your eyes what would you see?Aug 4 2013: I would say the future is 1 and 2 with 3 fading away for the majority of families. 1 to save money where the parent or parents are earning very little and 2 because of the economy, people have to go where the jobs are.Aug 2 2013: Yes Economics will continue to influence .
Aug 4 2013: ok, how do you see the future Salim?
Aug 5 2013: The impact will be varied in different part of the world as the economic condition is not homogenous through out the world.
In developing world and underdeveloped world to which I belong , with improving economic conditions will drive nuclear families in large scale because of higher cost of living as it happened to the developed economy.Aug 2 2013: Hello Jorg! Once I only want to live in my country because it is pleasure to live. But I realized that my wishes could not be last. The world is getting closer and smaller, connecting both you and me, resulting in "us". Someday, I have to leave my hometown and work globally.
So it is hard to remain family structure as it was (externally) -Mom, Dad and children. They will live with pursuing their own lives. Unless their sincere hearts toward family change in a wrong direction, the family structure would remain intact, I think:) Most important thing in relationships is mind not physical distance.
Aug 2 2013: Will Ethics and Morals will have to change as well ??
Aug 2 2013: Sure:) Ethics and Morals also depend on human beings' thought. . They are the ones who decide what are standards, laws and conventions.However, something like 'why humanity exists' will not change because it is core of presence of human beings.
Aug 2 2013: Sophia, I agree, dont you think from the start it was sence of community and family, all they care was food and to stay away from danger, Right now It feels like everyone who is able to wear on "earphones" don't need to interact with anyone, it feels like they have gain their independence, Ignoring every social code.
This evolution is scary, family structure in my opinion give us a good example to care about others.
Simon Le
Aug 2 2013: Are you sure you understand all the family structure of today? If not, then how exactly would you understand that of the future. We have more 200 countries, and a not yet understood set of culture in the world. But buy I large, the family structure of the future won't be much different than today for our mind is the one that shape every thing we do, and it hadn't change for the last recorded 10.000 to 65.000 years.Aug 2 2013: "Evloution is scary." Yes, I agree, Jorge. Most korean people are obsessed with their digital devices and smart phones anywhere. When I take a subway, all people wear on earphones, only staring at smart phone's screen. We have to try to pay more attention to others because we are all connected together. Your problems could be those of mine. Right :)?
