This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
Barkley suggests that material creation is not the end of our understanding (as Naturalists think), but a beginning that unveils the majestic and power of a Creator who loves us.
Pete Shaw, the senior pastor of Crosswalk Community Church in Napa California, offers a brief history of the interactions between science and faith in the first segment of his sermon.
In this paper, MIT professor Ian Hutchinson addresses the question of how to engage arguments put forward by the New Atheists. In doing so, he offers a critique of scientism, the assumption that scientific knowledge is all the real knowledge there is.
Polkinghorne discusses the origins and aims of natural theology in this series. It does not offer truth, but rather a "best explanation" for the world, answering primarily meta-questions. Two such questions asked by Polkinghorne are, "Why is science possible at all?" and "What makes the universe so special?" To explore the answers, he looks at the ability of human minds to penetrate mysteries of the natural world as well as the fine-tuning of the universe necessary to produce the fruitfulness of life.
Many barriers to the acceptance of the BioLogos model by evangelical Christians arise from popular misconceptions about the nature of science and its relationship to God's action in our world.
In this scholarly essay, Steve Benner, a Distinguished Fellow of The Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution in Gainesville, Fla., looks at what the role of a scientist should be. Benner looks specifically at "falsifiability", the acceptance of uncertainty, and the place of the scientist in public discourse.
Science and religion scholar Michael Ruse gives a personal account of his experiences as an author and public speaker on the compatibility of Christianity and biological evolution.
Giberson's essay makes the case that scientific fundamentalists are not merely arguing for the supremacy of science but also presenting science as a quasi-religious replacement. The agenda of the "New Atheists" is not merely to refute mainstream religion but to replace it. Unfortunately, the scientific community is poorly represented by these aggressive public figures.
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.

We do them on occasion, my mechanic bud does them regular. Many times its easiest to cut the heads off, (grind or usually torch them) rap on the manifold and slide off over the now studs, remove them after the fact. This avoids breaking them off at the head.

the problem is always access. if you can get at the bolts than any combination of heat, cold (like cooling the bolt with electronic contact cleaner when the threaded block is hot), and vibration (like a air hammer with a center punch like tool to put on the center of the hex and just hammer for 30 seconds or so) will do the job. in a shop setting where time is money, they would just torch the heads off and remove the manifold. then they would heat the exposed bolt stems, let them normalize, heat them again, let them normalize, then soak the base of the studs with penetrating oil while they are still hot but not so hot that the oil vaporizes right away. the penetrating oil is heat seeking like soldering flux is when sweating copper pipe. then when you break them, always use a back and forth motion trying for a little more range of motion each time.
hope this helps.
Apply penetrating oil, wait several hours, air hammer the head for a bit, then impact driver. If the impact driver won't spin them right out, don't break them just yet. Resort to heating the bolt to a straw yellow color and allow it to cool to a dull red before trying the impact again.
The advantage of trying to spin it off really hot is that the steel is softer and will deform as it encounters inconsistencies such as corrosion in the thread interface. The disadvantage is that since the steel is softer at this temperature, it will shear easier, most likely flush with the head. Drilling and using a screw extractor in that space is not fun at all.
80% of failures are from 20% of causes
Never compromise your principles today in the name of furthering them in the future.
"All I ever wanted was an honest week's pay for an honest day's work." -Sgt. Bilko
"We are generally better persuaded by reasons we discover ourselves than by those given to us by others." -Pascal
"Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything." -Pascal
I'm surprised no one mentioned Kroil Oil , that is the best penetrating oil I've ever used period .
I second using the impact! it will shake loose a bolt that would twist off normally. I used to own a muffler shop and an automotive machine shop/garage. If you use heat then consider how shrinking works when using it.
There isn't much penetrating oil can do on a 3" bolt.
Impact and flank-drive swivel sockets working both directions with good safety gasses and holding your mouth right
You might get a friend to use the impact while you heat the head with the torch if possible also. Just don't do more damage than good.

to break your bolts loose
To break your bolts loose i would just get a socket and ratchet and tack weld a breaker bar to your ratchet to give yourself some leverage. You should do this when the engine is hot because what happens is the engine heats up and cools down which causes the bolts to get cold welded into the threads. Hope this was helpful

Most good techniques have been mentioned assuming you can access the bolts. If there is anyway to spray a penetrating oil near these bolts, it will probably trickle down into the threads. MY FAVORITE IS PB BLASTER

I'll second the PB Blaster. Heat the bolts, tap with a hammer, and give them some PB. Let them cool and go to work.
A 454 doesn't give you a lot of room, but if you have a 3/8 butterfly impact it will serve you well here. They wil rattle the rust loose without shearing off the bolts.Jeff

Jarrod Hyder named TIAA-CREF Southern Conference Student Athlete of the Week
Wednesday, April 30, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 30, 2003) - East Tennessee State baseball pitcher Jarrod Hyder (Elizabethton, Tenn.) has been named the TIAA-CREF Southern Conference Student Athlete of the Week for the week of April 22-29. Hyder has provided the Buccaneer baseball team with a much-needed spark since joining the starting rotation three weeks ago. Prior to this season, Hyder was a star reliever for the Bucs but with the season hanging in the balance, head coach Tony Skole has turned to his senior leader to start some pivotal matchups. Hyder has responded in grand fashion, going 2-0 in his three starts with a 1.74 ERA, scattering 23 hits in 20.2 innings while allowing just four earned runs and striking out 17. This past Sunday, Hyder took the hill against Davidson with the Bucs one game behind the Wildcats for the final spot in the Southern Conference Tournament. With ETSU needing a win, Hyder again was tremendous, pitching seven innings and allowing eight hits and two earned runs while striking out five. He picked up the win as the Bucs went on to defeat Davidson, 16-3. As well as being a team leader on the mound, Hyder is also a role model in the classroom, having already earned his undergraduate degree in Corporate Finanace and Investments in August and currently working toward his M.B.A. Hyder had a 3.7 GPA in his undergraduate work and currently has a 3.9 GPA in his grad school classes. In August, Hyder graduated Magne Cum Laude, and ranked 13th in his class. For the season, Hyder leads the Buccaneer pitching staff with a 6-1 record, and has a 4.91 ERA in 21 appearances. He has allowed 78 hits in 58.2 innings and struck out 47 opposing batters. TIAA-CREF, with approximately $259 billion in assets under management, is the premier retirement system for the education and research sector in the U.S., serving 2.5 million participants at 15,000 institutions. Additionally, the TIAA-CREF group of companies offers mutual funds, after-tax annuities, life insurance, and trust services to the general public. The TIAA-CREF group also manages 13 state-sponsored college savings programs, more than any other company.

How can you go to the Golden Globes without proper lighting? It's unforgivable. It's totally unacceptable. And the only saving grace about it all is that she shut down Courteney Cox. Full Story

In May 1965, Luna 5 became the first Soviet probe in two years to head for the Moon. Following the midcourse correction on 10 May, the spacecraft began spinning around its main axis due to a problem in a flotation gyroscope in the I-100 guidance system unit.
A subsequent attempt to fire the main engine failed because of ground-control error, and the engine never fired. After loss of control as a result of the gyroscope problem, Luna 5 crashed. Landing coordinates were 31° south latitude and 8° west longitude. It was the second Soviet spacecraft to land on the Moon (following Luna 2 in 1959).

Step inside the converted warehouse space tucked inside the Calvert County Industrial Park in Prince Frederick, where the upstart Mully's Brewery soon will begin brewing original blends of craft beer for sale across Southern Maryland, and it won't take long to spot the head brewer.
There is no mistaking that beard.
Sporting a magnificent growth that can only signal "pirate" or "brewer," Jason Mullikin certainly has the look to go along with his newly chosen profession.
After spending 15 years in the corporate world, Mullikin and his wife, Cindy, plan to open Mully's Brewery within the next month. The La Plata couple expect to have their beer on retail shelves as soon as mid-October, and on tap at local bars and restaurants soon thereafter.
Up the road 15 minutes in an Owings industrial park, Brian Daley of Huntingtown is starting up his own small-scale, one-barrel microbrewery. Unlike Mully's, Scorpion Brewing will be strictly a brew-and-retail operation, with no distribution to outside sellers.
The two startups will triple the region's brewery count and, alongside the Ruddy Duck Brewery & Grill in Solomons, ensure that Calvert serves as brew central for locals in search of new potent potables.
Meanwhile, across the Gov. Thomas Johnson Memorial Bridge, Great Mills buddies David Jones and David Mahoney are hoping to bring St. Mary's County its first microbrewery by year's end.
They've found a home for SOMD Brewing — a deserted warehouse off Great Mills Road in Lexington Park — but are awaiting a needed change in local regulations reflecting state legislation, which this year added St. Mary's County to the list of jurisdictions that can issue microbrewery licenses, as requested by the county commissioners.
"This is an underserved market here, so we figured that would be our in," Mahoney said.
Not that it's too difficult to find original concoctions in Southern Maryland, as long as you know where to look.
Beer me
Danny Julian began home brewing in 1990, shortly after moving to the region as a member of the U.S. Navy.
His roommate at the time had a coworker who operated his own home brew shop. Julian picked up the hobby, and by 1996 had opened "Danny's Homebrew," a converted spare room in his Leonardtown home lined with shelves of malt extract, hundreds of specialty grains, base malt, bottles and caps, all ordered from wholesalers in Atlanta and Newport, Mass.
Originally, Julian had enough orders to justify a couple of shipments each year. Now, with roughly 200 regular customers, he sends out truck shipments every quarter.
About five years ago, some of Julian's customers suggested starting up a home brew club. Before long, the Hollywood Hop Heads were meeting monthly in Julian's garage.
"We all got beer envy. 'I want what Danny has,'" said Tom Spidel of Hollywood, who occasionally hosts Hop Heads meetings when Julian's work as a defense systems analyst takes him out of town.
"We are just a group of people about hanging out, having fun, brewing beer and drinking beer," he said.
There is only one rule Julian could think of that the Hop Heads have set — don't share your bad batches.
"We share our good stuff," he said. "As long as you keep your equipment nice and clean, you're going to get a good batch of beer. That, and keep fresh yeast."
Though he has insisted on a lax atmosphere with no parliamentary procedure, Julian nonetheless serves as the club's spiritual leader, if not its elected president.
And much like Yoda living in squalor on Dagobah, Julian's home brew setup — two water coolers and a standard ice chest — appears rudimentary compared to some of the shiny rigs boasted by his fellow Hop Heads. But his apprentices don't question the powers of their Jedi brewmaster.
Julian typically makes batches of 5 or 10 gallons, 5 being enough for 2½ cases of beer at a cost of about $20 in supplies, he said.
At an early September meeting of the Hop Heads, everyone was working on their seasonal batches of pumpkin beer.
Spidel has been home brewing since the club first got together, and like most of the Hop Heads, he's a big fan of IPAs, short for India Pale Ales, so-called because its extra hops helped preserve it during 18th-century voyages from England to British troops stationed in India.
Standing over a boiling keg of pumpkin brew, Spidel recalled how last year he tried to make the batch as a lager rather than an ale. Each requires a different type of yeast, and lagers brew at cooler temperatures, while ales boil.
"I tried to lager it last year, and it was awful," he said. "Lagers are much more complicated and easy to screw up. Ales are easier."
Bob Purdy of Mechanicsville has been home brewing for 20 years, since learning the craft from a German friend while living in Minnesota.
A microbiologist, Purdy said it was the science of making beer that attracted him to brewing.
"It's engineering, microbiology and organic chemistry all rolled into one. That's why I love brewing," he said.
When he moved to St. Mary's County five years ago, Purdy didn't know where to get the ingredients needed to feed his hobby. Then he found Julian, who invited Purdy to the Hop Heads' first meeting. He's been a regular attendee ever since.
"It's not really about drinking beer and getting drunk," Purdy said. "It's about the art of it, and also the camaraderie and having fun. And also the occasional cigar."
Four months ago, Purdy started putting together a two-tiered, three-keg rig made of 12-gauge steel.
"I prefer [calling it] 'brew sculpture,'" he cracked. "After a while, you want to do it the way you want to do it. This is really the beginnings of a nanobrewery."
Purdy has had a finished batch of Russian imperial stout — a strong, dark beer with a high alcoholic content — stored for about five months in preparation for a Ruddy Duck competition that Daley also is entering.
He also likes to make a Belgian white beer, a Czech pilsner and a clone of the Sam Adams Oktoberfest beer.
"I like hoppy beers," Purdy said.
It started with a kit
Ask homebrewers how they got started, and you'll get variations of the same story.
First off, they loved beer. Second, most of them started out with some kind of beginner's kit.
Jones started out with malt extract kits, a method preferred by many beginners because it skips several steps in the brewing process.
But Jones had a different reason for giving the kits a try in high school. "We couldn't buy beer, but we could buy the kits," he said mischievously.
Jones showed enough brewing promise for his friends to take note. "Every time we'd come over it was, 'Man, this is good beer. You have a good product here,'" Mahoney said. "One day, we said, 'you should brew for real.'"
Offering 12 different beers, SOMD Brewing will start with a small 3- to 3½-barrel operation, but "once we get that going, we can upgrade easily to a 20-, 50-barrel system," Jones said.
Formerly an engineer at Patuxent River Naval Air Station, Jones plans to design and patent green brewing technology that can either be licensed to or built for other breweries.
The brewhouse also will be green, with composts of spent ingredients and outdoor parking canopies used to grow hops and potentially shelter a beer garden for customers.
Jones also wants to incorporate historical artwork and landmarks into SOMD Brewing's logos and beer labels, put local fun facts on the back of its bottles, and offer dinner cruises pairing meals with craft beer, "led by Capt. Davy Jones."
While Jones brews, Mahoney, who works at Pax River in logistics, will handle the business side of SOMD Brewing. "I'll also do product testing," he assured.
Many brewers received their beginners' kits as a gift. More often than not, it was one of the Mr. Beer kits that are easy to find on the shelves of major retailers.
"That's how it all started," said Waldorf resident Eric Myers, who two Christmases ago received a beer kit from his wife, Joanna.
A military vehicle mechanic from Long Island, Myers now has a four-keg setup along a wall in his garage, labeled the "Myers Brew Rig." The first keg, set highest of the bunch, is the mash tun, where malted grain soaks in water, rendering a sugary mixture called wort. The sugars are what eventually feed the yeast that ferments the beer.
The wort then filters through a false bottom — a metal filter that catches the grain — and is carried by gravity down to the next keg, the boil kettle, where hops are added to the wort in a netted basket.
Within seven minutes, the hops will have given the wort some aroma, Myers said. Wait another 13 minutes, and they'll begin to add flavor. After an hour, the hops will start to bitter the beer.
From the boil kettle, the brew travels into the cooling keg, which can cool 12 gallons of steaming beer in 10 minutes, Myers said.
The batch takes at least a week to ferment before being finished. Generally, more hoppy or alcoholic beers need to ferment longer.
Myers started growing hops along the side of his house last fall, and this summer the crop produced its first yield. In two more years, the crop will be at full strength.
Inside the Myers home you'll find "Eric's Brew Room," a pantry so crammed with glassware that it could double as storage for "Breaking Bad" chemist Walter White's lab.
The room also contains 50-pound sacks of 2-row barley, a base grain that typically makes up 90 percent of the malt; small quantities of specialty grains, which get added to the 2-row for flavors like honey, chocolate and coffee; and hulls of rice, which can be added to the mash mixture to aid the filtering process. There's also 60 pounds of honey, which Myers uses to make mead, his latest batch of which tastes like hard cider mixed with rocket fuel.
Currently on tap inside his dining room kegerator — a converted chest freezer with a temperature probe, digital controls and four Cornelius kegs containing his latest brews — are a lighter beer, a white wine prepared by Joanna, and two brews of the same batch of brown pale ale, one aged at room temperature for a month and the other for two months.
In addition to the brown pale ale, Myers has brewed blonde ales, an Irish red ale, Extra Special Bitters and IPAs. He's yearning to brew a Russian imperial stout and a hefeweizen.
With a home, garage and yard full of brewing supplies, it's safe to say that Joanna didn't realize what she was getting into when she placed that beer kit under the Christmas tree, but she doesn't seem to mind the obsession her gift created.
"I think it's pretty awesome," she said.
Cindy Mullikin undoubtedly feels the same way.
"It started with a Mr. Beer kit" six Christmases ago, her husband said.
"By New Year's, we had an elaborate home brew setup," she said. "It's something we fell in love with immediately. We realized, oh wow, this is better than what we'd been trying."
Before long, the Mullikins were trying out new varieties of beer from local liquor stores.
"And that really opened our eyes to craft beer. We called it market research," Jason said.
After two years of experimenting with different recipes, the Mullikins were winning home brew competitions, making them wonder if they could turn their passion into a business.
A graduate of the Siebel Institute of Technology, the nation's oldest brewing school, Jason will serve as head brewer while Cindy, who has a background in sales and marketing, handles the brewery's business operations.
Their brewhouse is capable of producing batches of 15 barrels at a time — the equivalent of 450 gallons, or 220 cases of beer. Beside the brewhouse is a 30-ton fermenter, and a row of three smaller fermentation tanks.
Guests will be able to sample beer in Mully's tasting room and even directly order a case of elixir.
Mully's will feature five brews — a pale ale and a blonde that will be constantly available, and an IPA, stout and hefeweizen that will be sprinkled in as fermentation tanks open.
Cindy prefers the hefeweizen — a half-wheat, half-barley German beer that often produces banana, clove and vanilla flavors — which she said doubles as a good "gateway" brew for those uninitiated with the wonders of craft beers. Jason heads first for the bitter IPA, but "I'm a fan of everything," he said.
In addition to the five staple brews, two of which they debuted for the first time at the Southern Maryland Blues Festival this month, the Mullikins plan to periodically mix in seasonal or specialty beers.
Having signed on with a local distributor to sell their brews at 25 liquor stores in Calvert, Charles and Prince George's counties — a contract with a St. Mary's distributor is in the works — the Mullikins hope business soon will allow them to add a legitimate bottling and canning machine, which will dramatically increase production.
Within a couple years, they'd like to have between 12 and 15 employees and double their fermentation capacity. Currently able to produce six batches a month, Jason would like to see that eventually increase to 10 batches a week.
"The outpouring has been overwhelming," Cindy said. "We get people stopping by here every single day, asking when we're opening."
Growing up with an uncle and grandfather who used to brew beer with fresh water from a New Jersey spring, Daley has brewing in his blood. He's been making beer at home for a dozen years, gaining confidence from the positive feedback his brews received during tastings at a Prince Frederick liquor store.
After visiting England at 17 and discovering Guinness and hard cider, Daley said, he has never been able to really enjoy light beers. "Which really ruined college for me, because I didn't like cheap beer," he said.
He got an even deeper crash course in quality booze while spending a year earning his MBA at a Belgian business school. "Belgium is beer, chocolate, waffles and fries," he said.
Daley plans to quit his job as a defense contractor at the end of the year in order to run Scorpion Brewing full time. He incorporated in February 2012 and a month later rented warehouse space, which sits beneath a karate academy. "It's good because I have a built-in security system upstairs," he joked.
Daley intended to open that July — he even worked the Chesapeake Bay Flotilla into the company logo as a marketing tie-in with the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812.
But a slew of delays has pushed Daley's target opening back to sometime in October, though he's reticent to select a date. He recently received an order of 1,000 glasses and 600 64-ounce growlers.
"I feel very good about it. The industry is taking off," he said.
The overall market for beer is down — an August Gallup poll showed a steady decline in people who prefer beer over wine or liquor — but craft beer has never been bigger.
While the domestic beer market grew by 1 percent in 2012, craft brewers saw sales grow 15 percent by volume and 17 percent by value, grossing an estimated $10.2 billion in retail, up from $8.7 billion in 2011, according to March data released by the Brewers Association, a trade group representing small and independent American brewers. Craft beer's share of the U.S. beer market grew from 5.7 percent in 2011 to 6.5 percent last year.
Daley hopes to offer six beers at any given time, a few mainstays and a few rotating seasonal or special brews. Among his selections will be a lighter beer to help ease in those new to craft beer, as well as a half-hefeweizen, half-cider concoction Daley calls Apple Wheat. Being from upstate New York, "I'm a cider snob," he said.
Daley also is embracing the concept of buying local. He plans to get grain from Swann Farms in Owings, barley from a grower in Huntingtown and hops from a Hollywood farmer. He got his 8-foot-by-10-foot walk-in cooler from a Shady Side grocery, and is searching for someone close by to malt his grain.
"I've had a lot of a really great support from the community," he said. "I do think it's exciting to go walk through the field that's growing your grain, or go see your hops as they're growing."
During summer months, Daley said, IPAs are his favorite type of beer. That preference switches to strong Belgian ales in the fall.
Taking the lead
In the wake of the state's 1999 tobacco buyout, Calvert County has encouraged the opening of wineries as a means to preserve its agricultural heritage and transition local farmers off their signature cash crop.
The county has since established a wine trail featuring its five wineries — three of which used to be farms — and the county's new brewers would like to join the party.
Daley said he has been working with the local tourism office to set up a beer tour with stops at Scorpion Brewing, Mully's Brewery and the Ruddy Duck.
The Mullikins have been in contact with local wineries regarding opportunities to collaborate. Jason Mullikin mentioned the possibility of using wine barrels to age their specialty brews.
Meanwhile, both breweries intend to do whatever they can to help one another along.
Because the craft beer industry is relatively small, and craft beer drinkers tend to try different varieties rather than stick with one brand, brewers typically support each other in hopes that they'll collaboratively drive each other's business.
"Craft breweries are much more of a brotherhood," Mullikin said. "Craft brewers look out for each other. It's not competition among ourselves."
"It's a great industry that way," Daley said. "You're pretty crazy to get into it. You're not going to get rich brewing."

A Hawkins County man who allegedly hooked a young girl on narcotic painkillers and then used her addiction as leverage to have sex with her has been charged with rape by the Hawkins County Sheriff's Office.
Billy Burton Blair, 41, 4301 Stanley Valley Road, Church Hill, allegedly admitted to Hawkins County investigators that he began giving the young girl Lortab pills when she was 12.
A school resource officer recently received a sexual abuse complaint regarding that girl, who is now a teenager.
The officer forwarded that information to the HCSO Detective's Division. As a result of the investigation, it is alleged that shortly after getting the girl addicted to pills, Blair began giving the girl pills to expose herself to him and allow him to touch her.
It is further alleged that about a year ago Blair began giving the girl pills to have sex with him.
Blair allegedly admitted to the sexual relationship to arresting Detective Cliff Evans.
Blair was arraigned in Hawkins County Sessions Court on Wednesday. As of Wednesday afternoon, Blair was being held in the Hawkins County Jail without bond.
Sheriff Ronnie Lawson said the investigation is continuing and additional charges may be pending.comments powered by Disqus

Winter Jam Tour Spectacular 2014 featuring Newsboys, Lecrae, NewSong, Tenth Avenue North, Colton Dixon and more made a stop at Bridgestone Arena on Sunday night. Click the photo above to see a gallery of some of the acts. The Christian music tour, founded by NewSong 19 years ago, only charges $10 per ticket and if fans can't pay, they are still allowed to come and enjoy the show. "It's grown organically and that's one of the reasons it's such a strong brand," Winter Jam producer Troy VanLiere said. "I think what we're seeing and experiencing is the music is thriving. Fans love the Christian message."

True Saturn
Date: 6 Oct 2004
While cruising around Saturn in early October 2004, Cassini captured a series of images that have been composed into this large global natural color view of Saturn and its rings.
This grand mosaic consists of 126 images acquired in a tile-like fashion, covering one end of Saturn's rings to the other and the entire planet in between. The images were taken over the course of two hours on 6 Oct. 2004, while Cassini was approximately 6.3 million km (3.9 million miles) from Saturn. Since the view seen by Cassini during this time changed very little, no re-projection or alteration of any of the images was necessary.
Three images (red, green and blue) were taken of each of the 42 locations, or "footprints," across the planet. The full color footprints were put together to produce a mosaic that is 8,888 pixels across and 4,544 pixels tall.
The smallest features seen here are 38 km (24 miles) across. Many of Saturn's splendid features noted previously in single frames taken by Cassini are visible in this one detailed, all-encompassing view: subtle color variations across the rings, the thread-like F ring, ring shadows cast against the blue northern hemisphere, the planet's shadow making its way across the rings to the left, and blue-grey storms in Saturn's southern hemisphere to the right. Tiny Mimas and even smaller Janus are both faintly visible at the lower left.
The sun-Saturn-Cassini, or phase, angle at the time was 72 degrees; hence, the partial illumination of Saturn in this portrait.

MANA COLLECTION: Stunning Recycled Jewelry by TOUCH
Mana Collection 'Spatial Card' necklace made of Recycled Phone Cards and Plastic Magnet Latch
The Mana Collection by TOUCH features one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces that cleverly string together social design and environmental responsibility, not to mention recycled treasures from the streets of Brazil. This LA based art/design collective recently introduced a stunning line of artisan made products including furniture, home décor items, ceramics, tableware, jewelry, and limited edition items. They wisely brought on board Mana Bernardes, a young jewelry designer, poet, and visual artist from Rio de Janeiro, to oversee their hip jewelry creations. Detritus and discarded plastics never looked so good, as the Mana Collection is proof that one (wo)man's trash is another (wo)man's treasure. These are, for sure, the eco-sparkly jewels of creative re-use.
Mana Collection 'Clasp' necklace made of Recycled Metal Clasps and Rubber
Multimedia artist and designer Mana Bernardes finds pure poetry in the flotsam of our lives and consequently is able to incorporate seemingly unusable materials such as PET bottles, phone cards, toothpicks, hair clips, plastic netting, pearls, silver, and gold into Mana's handcrafted collection. She has also joined forces with community education social projects at the Museum of Rio de Janeiro and the European Design Institute of Sao Paulo, where she works with teenagers and students teaching jewelry making and entrepreneurial design skills.
With mention in the Dec/Jan 08 issue of Dwell and an upcoming launch with US retailers, TOUCH's Mana Collection is slated to bring a bit of resourcefulness, humor, and doubletake to sustainable style wardrobes everywhere. We salute their team-based efforts!

These pieces of jewellery are certainly a conversational piece. When I wore it people asked me – What is was made of and where did I get it?

I just saw your "found item" jewelry, and they are stunning! I try my hand at designing and I never thought of using recyclables. Your jewelry is very simple and "clean". I would love to see more of your art.

Anyone know if there's a connection between these people and the book "Fabulous Jewelry from Found Objects"?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I successfully quit about 3 months ago. I got the flu, didn't smoke for 5 days and that really helped kick the addiction. That and the last pack I bought was $8.49 and that really hurt. I finally reached the mental state where I didn't want to smoke any more.
Oddly enough I still enjoy the smell when somebody is smoking though. Can't stand it when somebody has just smoked though.
Me and my husband have been using ecigs for years now. It took some getting used to in the beginning, but now I would never go back to real cigarettes. We've used probably 15 different types of ecigs over ther years. Now we use Smokeless Image's products and love them. I've tried the tanks, but I'm actually not a big fan of them. Even now, I still prefer the cigarette style e-cigs. I just keep a bottle of liquid around and top off my cartomizer. One cartomizer will usually last me a couple weeks and a 30ml bottle of liquid will last me almost a month.
I think my favorite thing is the lack of smell. I can't stand to be around the smell of smokers now.
If you have any questions, just let me know. I'd be happy to help
Oops, I replied before I realized there was another page to this thread and that it was an older thread. I guess you dont need my help, lol.
Hi all,
I started this thread back in January, but have been very busy with college, my internship, and research, so I haven't been on TPT much since then. Now that the semester is over, I have more time for TPT. I thought I'd let anyone interested in this thread know that e-cigs have really helped me make a great deal of progress in conquering my nicotine addiction over the last 5 months. During that time, I only broke down a few times and smoked regular cigarettes, but primarily relied on the e-cig. The cost was not prohibitive when compared to cigarettes since I used online resources to learn how to mix my own liquids and shopped around for high quality, cost effective equipment. Now, I only need a few puffs on the e-cig throughout the day and fully expect to be done with it altogether by the end of June.
I feel that since the nicotine is not absorbed as effectively through vapor as it is with smoke that it gave me just enough to make it through the day, and slowly I became less dependent on nicotine. Subsequently, the behavioral addiction that occurs concurrently with smoking became meaningless as I became less dependent on nicotine, thereby slowly dishabituating my behavioral addictions (hand and mouth behaviors), making it easier to reduce and eventually cease the behavior entirely.
Very encouraging! I've been smoking for 10+ years and while not a heavy smoker (a pack every other day or so) I'd love to quit. My current problem is I like doing it too much still.
My g/f quit a year ago with chantix and hasn't turned back. She tried several years ago with chantix and she had a very bad psychological reaction to it because it didn't mix with another med she was taking. This time around she wasn't on the other med and it worked wonders. I've been interested in e-cigs, but like a couple other members posted on this thread, its confusing as to which one is the best.
slavecorps - I bet you're already seeing a noticeable change in your bank account now that you're not spending all that money on smokes! I've had temporary breaks in my smoking and immediately noticed the extra money in my pocket.
|Great Job! Keep it up! I hope one day I'll get off of these things and do a diy thread on how to change the old cartomizers into misters for a Paludarium.
I did a lot of research on it, and I wanted a cigarette style e-cig. I ended up buying the Volt by Smokeless Image. I could not be happier.
A couple other companies sell the same equipment and the following models are all the same quality and equipment with different branding and price points. The Volt is usually the best deal if you search for coupon codes.
Smokeless Image-Volt
Bloog- Maxx Fusion
Halo- G6
|Well, it's been a few weeks since I got my e cigarette equipment, nicotine liquid, and filling supplies and haven't had a cigarette since. I could not be any happier. I could not go anywhere in the last 16 years without worrying first about cigarettes and smoking. I feel very liberated and already have noticed positive changes in my health. My gums are turning pink again instead of the sickly gray color they stayed while I was smoking, my tounge looks healthier (sounds weird, but it's true, it had a yellow/brown coating on it all the time when I smoked), I don't feel the tightness in my chest that I have felt for a long time when I wake up, and I am really able to notice how terrible cigarettes really smell when I pass by someone who is smoking. I have no desire to touch a cigarette again.
|I smoked for 15 years and quit cold turkey. It took a few tries to kick them completely though. It helped that my wife quit smoking at the same time and we moved to a new apartment that we refused to smoke in. I used baby carrots as my crutch. Every time I wanted to smoke I would eat the carrots instead. That worked. Its been about 5 years since I quit and I have had a few going out with friends over the past few years and each time the cigarettes tasted worse and worse. I was at a wedding in December and had one drag and it was disgusting! I think I have quit for good now. Just don't take away my cigars. Nothing beats a fine cigar and a nice single malt scotch on a warm spring or fall evening.
I started smoking at the age of 10. I was handed sample paks of cigs on NUMEROUS occasions in downtown Chicago. I quit when my wife got preg with our first child. I had several relapses ( alcohol related ) but now don't even think about it. It was a hell of a journey and I do not envy anyone who trys to quit. I will say though, that I am proud and supportive of anyone who does try. It's noteasy and IMO there are no easy ways, but the end result is soooo worth it.
If I could offer any advise it would be this....start working out diligently and eating better. You will quickly feel and look better and this will give you the strength to continue.
You know, I can't be the only person who's gone online researching for the *best* brand of Ecig and found that it is absolutely impossible to choose because they all clearly have people posting positive reviews for them. I've tried one brand. Are any of the others actually any better or worse?
With that in mind, could those people advocating specific brands and accessories please be a bit more elaborative *coughnalucough* on what the heck they're talking about? I understand how an Ecig works, but I have no idea what a cartomizer is, or a tank, or the "thread type" in reference to batteries.
You don't have to advocate anything. Just post some links. I'm pretty desperate, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Thanks for the input!
The whole thing together fits perfectly in my pocket, people think its a pen.
Why would you have to carry a whole bag of accessories? you only need to fill up your tank 1 time and you are good for a whole day.
Its a pain to walk around with a bottle liq and have to drip every couple of puffs. Carto tank you just fill it up before you leave the house and you should be good for a whole day. I never carry anything more than my PV around. And its more in my hand than in my pocket.
Switch to no smoking!
You'll save money and its very healthy for you.

Close-to-Ceiling Lights
Bathe a room in illumination with close to ceiling lights.
Why We Love Close-to-Ceiling Lights
Close to ceiling lights naturally draw the eye upward and highlight higher up elements in a space, like crown molding or unique architecture. Flush mount ceiling lights and semi flush ceiling lights provide overall illumination when a larger wash is needed versus focused spotlighting. Contemporary ceiling lighting can become sculptures in and of themselves, providing a functional and a fashionable role. Or choose from several other styles available, from classic to Art Deco, mid-century modern and more.
Where Close to Ceiling Lights Work Best
Low profile ceiling lights work best anywhere a general wash of light is needed. Bright light keeps the mood happy and active, especially beneficial when used for living room lighting and kitchen lighting since people tend to congregate and socialize in these areas. Hallways and bedrooms also benefit from these types of ceiling lights, providing excellent illumination for moving from place to place and doing day-to-day tasks. Most work with conventional light dimmers as well, when a more romantic or relaxed atmosphere is desired. The line of Adorne Collection by Legrand offers a great selection of unique dimming switches that will work with most close-to-ceiling lights.
Other Great Options
Add a fan to your design scheme with a low profile ceiling fan. For any low-ceilinged bedrooms, kitchens or living rooms, hugger ceiling fans will fit the space well. And to create a similar wash of light without the commitment of an installed fixture, opt for uplight lamps and torchiere floor lamps. This style of floor lamp adds unique personality to any room and their portability allows them to be versatile and work with any room in your home.

If you missed last night's 3.1 Phillip Lim fête, co-hosted by us, you were sorely missed! And we hate to rub it in, but we thought it only appropriate to share some snaps, to give you an idea of just how crazy stylish (and fun) the night was.
Seriously, this crowd brought it — there wasn't a single snoozy outfit in the jam-packed room! There were leopard spots to our left, neon accents to our right — pretty much 360-degree views of inspired ensembles everywhere we turned. By the end of the eve, we couldn't help but feel a little dizzy (perhaps it was the Pressed juices spiked with Kanon Organic Vodka?).
Take a gander at the party pics, and if you were there, keep an eye out for your own mug. If not, well, there's always next time.

Where do melanoidins come from in beer? What characteristics do they bring to beer?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Homebrewing Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for dedicated home brewers and serious enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Melanoidins are created by Maillard reactions, but melanoidins themsleves add only color, not flavor to beer. The Maillard reactions that create melaniodins are what cause the flavors. Wort does not caramelize in the kettle. Caramelization requires temps in excess of 360F and exposure to O2, neither of which happens in the kettle.
The very first BrewStrong episode was all about melanoidins. Very useful.
They are also created during malting, so you can carry them through from the malt into the beer.

A mostly Carmel central coast report May 19-27
My husband and I just returned from a week in Carmel with an overnight in Carpinteria on the way. We traveled with our dog and also had friends join us for several nights in Carmel. Many of our picks were based on dog friendliness and I'll put an * in front of places where we brought our dog.
*Santa Barbara Shellfish Company – Our first meal of the trip was lunch at SB Shellfish. My husband had a crab sandwich and I had an abalone plate which was a blackboard special. The crab sandwich was just OK. The abalone was better. I think we'll just stick to the blackboard specials next time. There are 3 or 4 outside tables with table service (we snagged one of these) and a takeout window on the other side with some picnic tables. It was a beautiful day and nice being on the wharf.
*Renaud's Patisserie – We stopped at the downtown location for a pastry. I honestly don't remember what I had! I just remember it was sort of meh. I think I ordered wrong and should've gone with an almond croissant instead.
*Corktree Cellars – Dinner was at Corktree Cellars in Carpinteria. The one caveat here was that our dog had to be on the other side of their patio dividers which were made up of potted plants. The plants aren't high so a big dog would be able to see, or maybe even climb, over. Our dog is small so he had to peek between the pots. We shared the lobster mac and cheese, grilled shrimp and carnitas pizza which ended up being a lot of food and we had to take most of the pizza to go. Our favorite dish was the pizza. We had intended to go to Scarlett Begonia for breakfast the next morning but finished our pizza instead.
*Thomas Hill Organics – This was our lunch in Paso Robles enroute to Carmel. It was hot in Paso but thankfully their patio was fully shaded! We shared a seared ahi starter and I had a shrimp salad while my husband had a warm shrimp dish. It was all very good. Nice and light and perfect for the hot weather. My only quibble is that the service could've been more attentive (i.e. water glasses weren't refilled, we had to ask for another glass of wine) and the food took a long time to come out. We skipped dessert as we were heading to Sculpterra to see a friend play and running low on time.
*Ragged Point Restaurant – We hadn't planned to eat here but had dallied so much that we weren't going to make it to Carmel by dinner. We had some friends who were staying here and decided on an impromptu visit with them and ended up having dinner together. I didn't expect much as it seemed like they had a captive audience but was pleasantly surprised (maybe I just had such low expectations going in). We shared a crab cake appetizer and I had the short ribs while my husband had the seafood pasta. There was nothing inventive about the food but it was reasonably priced and the service was good.
*Parker Lusseau Pastries – This morning was the first of many trips to Parker Lusseau in Monterey (both the Hartnell and Munras locations). I had a delicious kouign amann (for some reason they only sell this at the Hartnell store). Later on in the trip we went back for their apple galette, croissant, almond croissant, pain au chocolat and caneles. They were all delicious. Go early. I went mid-afternoon one day and they were pretty much out of everything. Also they only take cash.
*Sea Harvest – We were wandering around the Crossroads in Carmel so decided to have lunch here. I had checked with Rio Grill but they weren't dog friendly contrary to the incorrect information in some publications. My husband had another crab sandwich (this was better than the one at SB Shellfish) and I had the sand dab/oyster/calamari combo and chips. It was nothing to write home about but fine for what it was and fairly inexpensive. We took the last outside table which happened to be in shade and tried to get them to turn the heater on but it wasn't working.
Cantinetta Luca – Our friends had arrived and the 4 of us had dinner at Cantinetta Luca. Unfortunately they aren't hardy souls like us ;) so this was the first of several dinners indoors without our dog. Everyone ordered a pizza except for me. I started with the arancini followed by a half order of the grilled prawns. Both were good and everyone enjoyed their pizzas. For dessert I had the chocolate soufflé tart. The desserts here are really good as they share the same pastry chef with Aubergine.
Cooking class at Aubergine – Lunch today was actually a cooking class. We made a seared scallop dish with a carrot juice reduction/mascarpone/dijon sauce with duck fat roasted carrots, baby potatoes, walla walla onions and smoked sea salt. I couldn't have imagined how good would taste when I was putting it all together. Here's a pic of the final product.
*Pastries and Petals – Stopped here for a disgustingly good peanut butter fudge cookie. Got one to go for our friends who devoured it immediately.
Aubergine – Tonight was the Terroir dinner at Aubergine featuring streams. Both the monthly Food for Thought and Terroir dinners are no choice menus and an excellent value at $75 including wine pairings. I will let the pictures do most of the talking. The first course was copper river sockeye followed by a second course of Japanese ayu. Next was crayfish and sweetbreads with morels. Dessert was "river stones" – ice cream covered in chocolate, olive and speculoos followed by "s'mores". I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite dish. This was our fifth dinner at Aubergine since Justin Cogley took over the kitchen and he and pastry chef Ron Mendoza have consistently delivered outstanding meals for us.
*400 Degrees Burgers – We happened to hit this place for lunch on their opening day. Not intentionally but we were walking by and a milkshake sounded good. As expected service was a bit confused and disorganized. You order at the counter and the food is brought to you and you also pay at the end of your meal. We had no less than 6 people come to our table to check on us which just added to the confusion. I ended up forgetting to ask for the burger medium rare (they're cooked medium if you don't specify) and they neglected to ask. Got the 400 degree burger, duck fat fries and a black and white shake. It was OK/fine and the service became a source of entertainment for us.
Later on in the trip we went back for a Kobe burger which we liked better (and they asked what temperature we wanted it this time). Service was still a bit slow but better organized and they had added handheld devices at each table where you could add items and swipe your credit card.
re: PattyC
This place needs a lot of help. Kobe burger, ordered medium rare, was ruined at almost well done. Bun wasn't anything special. Fries luke warm and not much flavor. Plus, even though I read they did their research visiting great burger places across the country, they didn't learn much and could take a hint by offering more condiment options. Pickle/peppers bar?, more toppings options?, unique ketchup and mustard than just Heinz? (ever heard of Dijon?) Very disappointing.
re: Dan Wodarcyk
Did you send the burger back and bring up the other issues with them? To their credit, they were pretty good about comping part of our first meal due to the lack of organization. They didn't even have mustard the first day.

Sending the burger back wouldn't have solved my overall impression of the place. They are attempting to be an upscale burger place but haven't thought through their whole concept. Like I said, I had read in a local publication that they had done "research" of great burger places (Umami, Shake Shack.) Whatever research, it didn't "stick."
For instance, Umami offers great cheese and home made sauce/ketchup options. Michael Symon's "B Spot" in Cleveland has an amazing peppers, pickle and relish bar, plus 4 sauces at every table.
La Bicyclette – Unfortunately this was not one of the better meals we've had at La Bicyclette. Both pizzas arrived at our table slightly burnt and my heirloom apple salad was so so. The roasted escargot however were good and I did like my faro pasta with black truffle (you can order anything on the 3 course menu a la carte). Desserts were bread pudding and an apple tart. Hopefully we just hit them on an off night and this was not part of a downward trend.
