Series: Responding to "Laudato Si'" by Pope Francis (4 entries)
Pope Francis's June 2015 encyclical has stirred international conversation on how science and faith come together on the question of ecology and climate change. This short series features several responses from friends of BioLogos, including world-renowned Christian climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe. The series concludes with closing thoughts by BioLogos content manager Jim Stump.
Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis (4 entries)
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
Series: To Serve and Preserve—Genesis 2 and the Human Calling (4 entries)
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
Being Fruitful
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
For the Love of the World: John Stott and His Passion for Creation
Some criticized John for his theistic evolutionary position and even his appreciation for Darwin. But Stott saw no contradiction between his own commitment to the authority of Scripture and his openness to God's use of evolution in His creative process.
Science as an Instrument of Worship, Part 3
Humanity faces tremendous moral dilemmas today, and science has relevance to most of them. As followers of Christ, we understand that our lives are entrusted to us for a short time, and that we will give an account for the things we do.
Vox Balaenae
In 1967, biologists Roger Payne and Scott McVay discovered that humpback whales "sing" and published recordings of the whales' complex vocalizations, after which "whale song" quickly entered the popular consciousness and helped propel the "save the whales" environmental movement forward.
Saturday Sermons: The Garden of God
Genesis 2:2-17 places an interesting emphasis on work—not only does God work to bring about all creation, but also, man is called to the task of caring for God's world.
Community Formed by Fire
Let me briefly suggest three elements in the pine savanna ecology that Christians may take as prompts for meditation on life in Christ.
"Ninety Minutes Well Spent": A Student's Review of RENEWAL
The religion-environmental movement is powerful exactly for these reasons. When people are motivated by a deep-rooted desire to worship God, they are willing to invest time, energy and emotion to what they believe is the right thing to do.
A Season of RENEWAL
Seven years ago, fellow filmmaker Terry Kay Rockefeller and I set out on a voyage of discovery that would result in RENEWAL, the first feature-length documentary about America's religious-environmental movement.
Thanksgiving, Mediterranean Style
As much as I love the fertilized soccer green at the foot of the library, I can't imagine Gordon College without the woods and wetlands. They are our best classrooms.
Stewards of God's (Changing?) World
Interestingly, I find this sort of cynicism about climate change especially prevalent among Christians. Why is this?
Happy Earth Day to You
As we mark the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, we'd do well to remember that it was successful because of its remarkable grassroots response. We've all become aware of the daily choices we encounter where we could all do our part.

1. I apologize that all of the pictures in this Instructable (sans the finished ones) were taken with a mediocre phone camera.
2. I am not a master carpenter and pretty much only know what I learned from my dad and watching Bob Vila and Norm from New Yankee Workshop. With that in mind, if I can do this, you can probably do this, and better than I can.
3. I was looking for a modern sunken platform bed that wasn't too crazy looking or crazily expensive. I couldn't find it, so I just figured I'd try it out and see if I could build my own. The cost of the materials were around $400, but that is a huge savings compared to buying a bed that looks like this.
4. Being able to say that you made it is also pretty cool. The ladies love it.
5. I'm not very good at explaining things, so if you have any questions, just ask!
Step 1: Acquire
You don't need anything fancy for this project. In fact 90% of the cuts made for this bed were entirely using my sliding miter saw. But here is what I used:
-Table Saw
-Miter Saw
-Air Compressor with 18ga nail gun
-Electric sander (mine is an orbital)
-Tape measure
-Carpenter's triangle (or whatever the crap it's called. EDIT. speed square. thanks.)
-Hammer/rubber mallet
-Several C-Clamps. I have 6 12" ones, and that seemed to be good enough for my needs.
-9/16" wrench
-9/16" ratchet
As far as the frame goes (and this is for a queen size bed, so you may adjust the wood sizes to your own measurements), you will need:
- 10 to 20 1x3x6' boards (these are the wood slats that act as the boxspring, and you don't need nearly as many as I used, as you will see).
- 1 4x4x8 ft board (douglas fir, not the green outdoor treated ones)
- 6 2x4x8 ft boards (more if you make sweet mistakes like me)
- 1 2x2x8 ft board (I bought this by accident, but it really came in handy).
The trim, or cosmetically inclined part of the bed, required a few more pieces. This is where you get to decide what type of wood you will use. I used pine because it is the cheapest, and is quite easy to work with. The results would probably be better with a harder wood like rosewood, walnut, or oak. You may choose based on your own budget and assessment of your skills. I assess my skills at a medium to high risk of mucking up, requiring forking out more cash for high grade wood. This was a wise choice. In any case, you will need:
- 2 1x10x8 ft pine boards
- 1 1x10x6 ft pine board (you could just buy 3 8ft boards, but I wanted to save money where I could, and this saved me a whopping buck fifty.
- 4 1x6x8 ft pine boards.
- 1 1x4x8 ft pine board
Then the headboard, you may do whatever you like. I wanted something simple and modern. I found at the lumber store some already pressed together pine sheets that were 24" wide by 96" long. This suited my needs perfectly, so that is the primary component in my headboard.
That should do it for the wood you need. Unless I'm forgetting something, in which case, I apologize.
Other Stuff
-Sandpaper in 80, 100, 150 or 180, and 220 grit. If you have an orbital get all these in discs but buy regular sheets of 220 as wel.
-1 quart Pre-stain (this stuff is for people like me who buy crappy soft woods, so the stain takes more evenly)
-1 quart Stain of your choice. I used all minwax stain products, for consistency, even though I don't really think it makes a difference.
-1 quart finishing polyurethane. I chose satin because I hate glossy things, but that is up to your own tastes. They also make products that are supposedly stain and polyurethane in one? I think I'd rather stay away from that.
-Wood putty. I prefer the squeeze bottle.
-small flexible putty knife for the above.
-Nails for the nailgun. 1.5" are a good size
-A crapload of wood screws. 2.5" and 1.5"
-Wood glue. I bought two good sized bottles, but one was enough. I bought the Gorilla Glue brand wood glue because it was on sale. And because Elmer's should stick to non-toxic elementary school glue.
-tack cloths.
-mineral spirits
-lots of cotton rags, like cut up t-shirts
-sponge brushes, i used 2 and 3" sizes
-2 Metal brackets for applying a center 2x4 to the frame
-Another 4 sweet metal brackets that slip over a 4x4 and have bracket for 2x4 coming off 2 ends. I don't know what they are called, but there are pictures of them later.
-4 5.5x3/8" hex bolts
-16 3/8" washers
-16 3/8" hex nuts
Now that you spent all your money (the total cost of this project for me was about 400 bucks), we can get on to the good stuff.
So I built this bed last weekend. I built my wife a bed for her birthday. I used Birch instead of Pine. Your instructions were great! Since time was of the essence, I decided to break this up into 4 phases. Phase 1, the bed, Phase 2, the legs, Phase 3, the headboard, and Phase 4, the nightstands. Anyway, great design and instructions. Thanks for the ideas.
How much did this cost you total?
So I am still on Phase1, which is the bed itself....and mine is a King. I have spent $350. On the sides, I went with 7" Boards instead of the 10" boards because getting 10"x1" birch boards was hard to come by from the woodworking shop.
I am taking my time with the other phases. For the headboard I found an upholstered, one similiar to this:
So far, I have the frame built and the foam installed, I just need to finalize the fabric choice.
For the NightStands, I am planning on doing a secret locking drawer to hold my Pistol, flashlight and a wireless phone charger.
I gotta say, this is a GREAT job! And to buy something of this quality would cost a lot lot more than you have in it. And to say you built it yourself is always a plus. I'm just getting started in my woodworking and I am loving every minute of it....
Thanks VERY much for the post. Again, I CAN"T WAIT TO GET STARTED!
Built this exact bed today in a king size, thanks for the great instructions and material list. Total cost about $325 all in wood, stain, ect.... at my local home depot. If you need C clamps Harbor Freight has some nice ones really cheap.
I have just stumbled across this bed from something completely different I was looking at on youtube.(card making) I love it!!! Due to disability I won't be able to do it myself' but my husband can and will,
I'm so pleased that articles etc stay on the internet for such a long time.
Briljant idea, we are going to make this bed, but we are going to use for the outside wood, bamboo board, hopefully it will turn out great.
thank you for the idea
Nice instructable!
Fantastic project...i hope mine comes out as good as yours!!
i'm thinking about building the bed, so I was just wonderign what it'd set me back. that would determien if i spend a weekend making it, or go to ikea and buy a similar bed.
An alternate that I was considering was making the nightstands a part of the headboard, that way you could just extend out from the edge of the headboard and be nice and sturdy. But then I opted against it for whatever reason. It more than suits my needs, It will hold at least 20 lb worth of crap, and I've never had a lamp or alarm clock that weighed that!
Even if you did roll onto it, it would likely just damage your head on your way to the ground :)
Again, VERY cool!
If you had it to do over, would you do the side rails that wide? At first glance, it looked to me like they would be too wide, and a pain for getting in and out of bed (knee knockers).
Also, you really gotta let us know what those brackets are called. I looked under a few different names and came up empty.
Right by the lumber there's a section of all kinds of roofing and various metal brackets for lumber. It should be there. Or you could just print a picture of mine and bring it in, someone ought to be able to help!
I've got, and still using, a bed frame built years ago that is a very minimal and easy to break down bed. It only has 6 1"x10"x5' and 2 1"x10"x6' each bolted down with bolts and wing nuts. Legs are 6 simple pipe legs. Moving around a lot, back then, I needed a bed that could break down and transport easy, so built that bed years ago. It's been a very rock solid bed frame over the years but lately I've been wanting a more substantial bed frame. These builds will allow me to recycle my old bed into a much nicer bed.
Will work on also creating my first instructable with help from your build!!

The existence of psychic powers can hardly be questioned, as there have been millions of people who admitted that that psychic readings have significantly helped, and improved their lives. However, explaining the phenomenon in reality may not be as easy.
While some argue that psychics rely merely on psychology while performing their readings, others claim that they actually use spiritual powers that are supposed to be different. In order to find out the answers, we have questioned the Oranum – one of the most authoritative psychic portals.
Most of the psychics said that they have particular spiritual talents, and that their craft is unrelated to psychology. However, according to the encyclopedic literature the psychic powers are nothing more than the ability of psychological reading.
In fact the psychics could be the very good psychologists, but when asked questions unrelated to a particular person, their readings would turn out highly inaccurate. So it is like, when they see their client in person, they can read from the manner that he dresses, speaks as well as facts from his life and any related information, but when they have no clues, they just start imagining, and then it never works.
Thus, these who claim to be enlightened, or actually to possess spiritual powers are likely either hiding the truth about their craft or simply believing in their own extraordinary powers. From our experience with Oranum, we really think that the latter supposition is true.
In fact, it makes a good sense, why skeptical individuals suddenly start believing in extraordinary powers after an actual contact with these psychics. It is just the psychics tend to have a very good natural psychological perception and as they never flaunt it as psychology, the individuals are left with no other choice than to conclude about the existence of spiritual powers.
It is indeed difficult to spot the psychology where not even a single traditional psychology term or question is being used. Hence, due to inability to explain their own psychological sense, they start imagining to have extraordinary powers and claim themselves anyone but psychologists.
However, this is absolutely no reason to discard their abilities altogether. Psychics help so many people and Oranum actually makes a great job in providing them a complete freedom of different approaches, rather than demanding a scientific explanation of each end every technique.
All in all, even psychological help from a good institution can provide us as many insights, and resolve as many problems. It is just in the modern society psychology has received some very bad reputation, and most of the people refuse asking the help of psychologist unless they realize going mad.
Thus, who don't consider themselves crazy would rather prefer to talk with clairvoyant or any kind of occult practitioners than with actual certified psychologists. That way the psychics are effectively stealing the potential clients of the latter… What in the world?

I went with your disired thickness but a must is the 6 bag mix.
One think that I did and not regret one bit was to install anchor tie down points.
I used 1" cold rolled bar stock that I heated to bend them like inverted U shape with long horizontal tails. These are about 3 to 4 feet long and I went with addtional rebar weave mat and and additional 2" thickness 3 to 4 feet around each tie down. I used a cast iron water main shut off cap housing so I have a covered flush floor tie down. I have used these for pulling vehicle frames and such.
I also went with water heating coils underneath the washed sand that has been heated by a simple water heater two 5500watt elements. I have used this system for 14 years now in NORTH DAKOTA!

I do not think you going to like welding on the beam everytime you want to pull a frame. Also if you have ever broken a chain pulling, you need the best anchor you can get. Not sure of the beam thickness, but you could tap 1" holes in it to allow plates to be bolted up.

Usually, chains break loose when welded in such a way leverage is applied to the welded link, allowing it to twist and break either the link or the weld. Welding the first link in line to the direction of pull would eliminate this. Also, the use of D-rings (that can flop back and forth) will also prevent broken chains, they can always be air-arced off and reused.
The big advantage to imbedding beams in the floor, you can always weld jigs, fixtures, and even the job itself down to the floor, insuring nothing moves while you are welding it up. Also, you can locate chains and pull-tabs exactly where you want them, vs. having to compromise all the time with permanent imbedded loops.
Portable has been in business long enough, and just from reading his various posts on this board, I'm pretty confident he knows what he's doing.Obviously, I'm just a hack-artist, you shouldn't be listening to anything I say .....
I would'nt be welding a chain to the beams, I would use flat bar that would weld to the beam and connect the chain to the flat bar with a clevis.
I have thought about drilling the beams with a 1" nut on the bottom side for a 1" eye bolt to thread into.
If I put holes on 3' centers I'm looking at 44 holes.
My 2 center beams are W-12" at 53lb which have a 10" flange with and are 9/16" thick, I took these off a job and they have two 1/2" x 12" plates welded on each side to create a box so I will have to drill and tap these.
I know in the long run I'll be glad if I do this but it means a few more days of work.
I like the flat bar idea. I weld chain down to my floor beams on one side of the chain, then break them off with a hammer after I'm done.(you know beat it on the right side then beat it on the left side till it breaks off. Then I trip over the stub for a week or so before I have my helper grind them off.
Sounds like you going to a lot of trouble to do this job right, don't skimp on the concrete, 8'' or better.
One last thing; make sure you get a good fill around the beams, other wise you'll have a hollow sound when you bang on them.
Good Luck,

Too bad Don (DDA52) is no longer participating here; anything to do with steel and concrete, or any combination of the two, I don't think there's been anybody on any boards who knew more than him. Maybe Roy could call or email him, ask Don to contribute his input??????Obviously, I'm just a hack-artist, you shouldn't be listening to anything I say .....
I did alot of thinking and went ahead and drilled a 1-1/16" hole in the top of the beams, I then bought 1" nuts and welded them into a 2 x 2 x 3/16" square tube that I cut 4" long ( The nuts got welded flush on one end and capped on the other side to keep concrete from getting up inside the tube.)
I then welded a 1/2" rod x 8" long across the bottom of the tube to act as a mudd hook, I then welded them to underside of the top flange of the beam.
so I now have 74 holes that I can spin a 1" eye bolt into. It took a while but it will be worth it.
To keep all the dirt out of the holes I will buy allen set screws that will stay inside and I will remove as needed.

1" threaded rod, cut 2" pieces, drill and tap left handed, use a left hand bolt to remove, cap plug to keep dirt out...
Its a lot of extra work, and the cap plugs will may not stay in but hey, it sounds like time and effort are not a problem.
Are you sinking in some 2.5" tube with a cross rod in the bottom to use as floor drain/tool mounts? (vertical)MillerMatic 211 Auto-set w/MVP

I like it. I like the musical numbers, some of which are originals, according to what I've read. I don't know how they'll sustain original music numbers if the series continues, but for now it's fun to watch.
I like that the show is aimed at adults and has a few different couples dealing with different life situations. (In other words, it's not about high-schoolers and their problems.) Their problems aren't unpredictable or unheard of, but that's OK.
I like that it has gay characters and straight characters, and that it allows one of the straight characters to say that he can't stand gay men. (Followed by a quip about how theater probably isn't the best area for him to work.)
I like Katherine McPhee. That's a problem, because I think the show's creators want me to like her rival on the show equally as well. I don't. Maybe that's intentional?
That's all I have to say about Smash at this point.

Hidden: An unseen portrait of Oliver Cromwell
- 10 July 2014 — 19 October 2015 *on now
Recent investigation of the portrait of Sir Arthur Hesilrige, using the latest infra-red technology, has revealed what appears to be a hidden portrait of the Parliamentarian commander Oliver Cromwell underneath. The reasons for this change are obscure. Was the artist re-using an old canvas that he had been unable to sell? Or did Hesilrige, a Parliamentarian army officer and committed republican, have Cromwell's portrait repainted as one of himself when the two fell out over Cromwell's assumption of the role of Protector? This display puts the Gallery's portrait of Cromwell alongside that of Hesilrige and, for the first time, shows the infra-red image of the hidden portrait.

'The artist's cause at heart': M.H. Spielmann, Collector and Donor
- 18 November 2014 — 19 September 2015 *on now
The son of a banker, Marion Harry Spielmann (1858-1948) was a 28 year-old art critic when he was appointed editor of the Magazine of Art in 1886. Under his 'vigorous and original editing' it flourished a further 17 years. He aimed to explain the contemporary art world to the public, and to encourage consumer patronage. Artists were invited to write about fellow artists
and he ran articles such as 'Should there be a British Artists Room in the New National Portrait Gallery?'(1890), and 'Suggestions for a New Fine Art Copyright Act'(1893). He also wrote perceptively about graphic ('Black and White') artists, and the New Sculpture movement.
This display throws light on M.H. Spielmann's discreet but powerful reputation in the Victorian and Edwardian art worlds. It celebrates his activities as an editor, writer and collector. And it exposes the generosity with which he disposed of his collections to the Gallery, an institution whose interests he had long championed.

Women and the First World War
- 17 February — 25 October 2015 *on now
The First World War offered women the unexpected opportunity to work in fields that had previously been open only to men, proving that they could take on roles other than care-giving. The contributions of women in the early stages of the war were largely confined to the medical sphere and some of the first women to qualify as doctors in Britain worked in field hospitals. The increasing number of casualties meant that trained nurses and doctors were in great demand. The number of women working abroad was bolstered in 1915 by the decision to send Voluntary Aid Detachments (VADs) to the front lines. These women were predominantly un-trained and worked as clerks and drivers attached to hospitals.
The display fittingly coincides with the hundredth anniversary of the death of Edith Cavell, who was executed in 1915 for helping Allied soldiers escape from Belgium.

The Tudors Reimagined: George Perfect Harding
- 14 March 2015 — 17 January 2016 *on now
The growing interest in the history of Britain led to the popularity of antiquarianism in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and to a demand for portraits of historical figures in a variety of media. This display explores that fashion through the work of the miniature painter and copyist George Perfect Harding. The eldest son of another miniature painter, Silvester Harding (1745—1809), George was probably taught by his father who ran a successful business as an engraver with his brother, Edward Harding (1755-1840). For some forty years, from 1804, George travelled the United Kingdom copying portraits and recording details of their history. His notebooks from this period survive and provide a detailed record of the content of over 250 collections, from castles and country houses to inns of court, university colleges, livery companies and hospitals. This display pairs some of the original portraits, now in the National Portrait Gallery, with Harding's copies.
The watercolours in this display appear to have been produced either singly or in very limited quantities for the most dedicated of collectors. The preservation of their colour indicates that they were kept in folios and books. They also reveal the appearance of many Tudor portraits before environmental factors or chemical changes had caused certain pigments to fade. This can be seen particularly clearly in Harding's copy of the portrait of Nicholas Throckmorton.

Cornelius Johnson: Charles I's Forgotten Painter
- 15 April — 13 September 2015 *on now
Cornelius Johnson (1593–1661) is the forgotten man of seventeenth-century art, even though his paintings – all of them portraits – are found in many British museums, galleries and country houses. He was prolific and successful but, as a painter at Charles I's court, had the bad luck first to be overshadowed by the superstar Anthony van Dyck, and then to have his British career halted by the civil wars. Born in London in 1593 into a Flemish/German Protestant family, Johnson probably trained mainly in the northern Netherlands, returning to London by early 1619 – the date on his earliest portraits. Based in Blackfriars, Johnson painted gentry, aristocrats, lawyers and merchants, including members of London's Netherlandish community. He meticulously recorded their fine dress and lace collars. In 1632 he was appointed 'picture-drawer' to Charles I, producing a few small-scale royal portraits, although the main royal commissions went to Van Dyck. Johnson was the first British-born artist consistently to sign and date his paintings, although his signatures varied over the years. He worked on every scale, from the miniature to the big group portrait.
In late 1643, following the outbreak of civil war in Britain, and the collapse of court patronage, Johnson and his family moved back to the Netherlands. There, he joined the painters' guild in the thriving coastal city of Middelburg in Zeeland, where he had friends from the London Dutch community. In 1644, he was commissioned to paint Middelburg's burgomaster (mayor). Johnson and his wife subsequently lived in Amsterdam, and he also worked at The Hague, where he produced his largest surviving portrait, a civic group depicting The Hague Magistrates. Early in the 1650s, the Johnsons settled in one of the best streets in Utrecht, where he remained a leading portrait-painter until his death. He was buried in Utrecht on 5 August 1661. His only surviving son, also named Cornelius, who had been born in London in 1634, assisted his father, and continued to work as a painter in the Netherlands, dying in Utrecht in 1715.

Curators' Choice: Photographs from the Terence Pepper Gift
- 12 May 2015 — 24 January 2016 *on now
The works in these two component displays are drawn from around 2500 photographs from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries generously donated by Terence Pepper, Senior Special Adviser on Photographs. Curators' Choice is a tribute to his skills of detection and identification, and his eye for an overlooked or mis-identified sitter or photographer, as well as his interest in charting cultural life in all its variety.
Terence's long and illustrious career at the National Portrait Gallery as Curator of Photographs and Head of the Photographs Collection (1978-2013) has left its mark in the remarkable body of photographic works acquired for the Collection in this period. Terence's expertise, energy and enthusiasm transformed the Gallery's photographic holdings, and today the Photographs Collection comprises over 250,000 portraits by leading photographers including many that he has helped bring back to prominence.

The United Arab Emirates has the fifth-largest international migrant stock in the world, with 7.8 million migrants out of a total population of 9.2 million.

This fact sheet compares key components of immigration reform outlined in the 2013 Senate immigration bill against provisions included in bills considered by the Senate in 2006 and 2007: border security, detention, and enforcement; worksite enforcement; visa reforms; earned legalization of unauthorized immigrants; strengthening the U.S. economy and workforce; and integration of new Americans.
With the prospects for immigration reform greater than they have been in more than a decade and the U.S. economy slowly shrugging off the effects of the recession, the United States may be on the cusp of historic changes that make the immigration system a more effective tool for innovation, economic growth and the competitiveness of its firms—large and small.
This volume, which brings together research by leading economists and labor market specialists, examines the role immigrants play in the U.S. workforce, how they fare in good and bad economic times, and the effects they have on native-born workers and the labor sectors in which they are engaged.

Old Man celebration today at Profile Plaza
Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, D-NH, and Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., have introduced a Senate resolution commemorating the 10th anniversary of the loss of the Old Man of the Mountain, New Hampshire's state symbol.
"Granite Staters will always remember exactly where they were ten years ago when they heard the sad news that the Old Man of the Mountain had been lost," said Shaheen and Ayotte. "This resolution is a fitting tribute to the Old Man, who will continue to live on in the hearts of the people of New Hampshire."
The iconic rock face collapsed May 3, 2003. Building a replica was considered, but a task force headed by former Gov. Steve Merrill ultimately decided to leave the mountain as it was.
A celebration will be held today, according to the Cannon Mountain website, which says the Old Man of the Mountain Legacy Fund is hosting a 10th anniversary tribute from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Profile Plaza in Franconia Notch.

Get an alert for markdowns and new arrivals of TriSwim!
TRISWIM emerged out of their privately owned parent company, SBR Sports Incorporated, which are both owned and operated by Karen Allard. A former stay-at-home mom, Allard soon discovered a passion for triathlons in 2001 and has since then become a leading age group triathlete and USAT Certified Coach.
Her involvement in sports led to her discovery of the high-demand for quality chlorine removal shampoo and skin care products for swimmers. Allard decided that if she wanted a product that was going to meet these demands, then she was going to have to develop it herself.
Working with some of the world's renowned labs and award-winning chemists, Allard produced products that work to neutralize and detoxify chlorine and chlorine odor from your skin and hair, while continuing to hydrate and nourish your hair with ingredients such as Organic Aloe Vera, Vitamin A and E, and ProVitamin B5. Branding the products under the name TRISWIM, they soon became a hit and are now being distributed to athletes around the world.

Just a day after news broke that her ex, Marc Anthony, dropped $2.5 million on a 6,000-square-foot Los Angeles-area mansion, Jennifer Lopez has one-upped her former husband, making news for plunking down four times that amount for a whopper of an estate in the Hamptons.

According to the listing, provided to omg! by real estate website Zillow, the custom home (built nine years ago) provides something that's probably pretty important to J.Lo: privacy, touting that it's "guaranteed" thanks to a "private cul de sac." The eight-bedroom, seven-and-a-half bath manse – spread over 8,500 square feet on three acres – also features a theater, sauna, steam room pool, pool house, and two adjacent lots just perfect for building a guest house and tennis court. The listing also includes two words the rest of us probably don't associate with a $10 million home: "Incredible value."

IMLS Press Contacts
Mamie Bittner, firstname.lastname@example.com
Washington, DC—On October 18, Archivist of the United States David S. Ferreiro administered the oath of office to six new members of the National Museum and Library Services Board (NMLSB), the advisory board of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). All six new members were appointed by President Obama and confirmed by the U.S. Senate earlier this year.
"IMLS relies heavily on the National Museum and Library Services Board for the invaluable advice it provides," said IMLS Acting Director Marsha L. Semmel. "These six new members have broad knowledge and expertise, and represent a wide range of disciplines within the museum and library fields. We are grateful for their willingness to engage in this important public service."
After administering the oath, Ferreiro spoke about the importance of the institutions supported by IMLS and the NMLSB, saying, "In this day and age we face so many incredible challenges, whether they are in the workforce or the economy, people need access to libraries, museums, and archives. Whether it is reading a free book on loan from the library, seeing something inspiring in a museum exhibit, or gazing at an original archival document, these collections allow Americans to explore their creativity and engage in critical thinking."
The new members are as follows:
The NMLSB advises the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the primary source of federal support for the nation's libraries and museums. The board is chaired by the IMLS director and comprised of two of its deputy directors and 20 members of the general public with demonstrated expertise on or commitment to libraries or museums.
About the Institute of Museum and Library Services
The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation's 123,000 libraries and 17,500 museums. The Institute's mission is to create strong libraries and museums that connect people to information and ideas. The Institute works at the national level and in coordination with state and local organizations to sustain heritage, culture, and knowledge; enhance learning and innovation; and support professional development.

Product Review Meguiar's Plastic Headlight Restoration Kit
For quite some time on my POS daily driver the headlights have been an issue. They have become so fogged and yellowed that at times it's hard to tell if they are on at night. I really hate spending money on this truck, because it's not worth anything. I bought it Memorial Day weekend in 2006 for $900, and have spent little money on it. A new battery, front rotors and pads and a fuel pump, that's it. 45,000+ miles later, it still runs good and gets 27-28mpg on the highway.
The lack of illumination has mostly been an annoyance but of late it's hit a tipping point. Over the last few months I've seen a few products advertised on TV and magazines that are supposed to clear up yellowed and fogged headlights, and I've been curious to see if they would work. Earlier this week I was at the parts store to buy some new wiper blades and saw this on the shelf, I figured I'd give it a shot.

Sunday, April 18, 2004CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (April 18, 2004) - Bryn Favor drove in the winning run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning to give Chattanooga a 2-1 Southern Conference softball victory over East Tennessee State Sunday and complete a three-game series sweep. The win pushed UTC's winning streak to 12, which ties for the fourth-longest in school history. Chattanooga (36-20 overall, 11-1 SoCon) got outstanding pitching from Lacey Swarthout, who won her sixth consecutive decision. Swarthout (21-15) yielded just three hits and one run with five strikeouts and no walks. After ETSU (22-27, 3-9) took a 1-0 lead in the first on Lindsay Lane's (Erwin, Tenn.) RBI single, the Lady Mocs quickly tied it in the bottom of the inning. Melissa Ramirez walked and Leslie Barron singled to put runners at first and second with two outs. Robyn Johnson followed with a sharp single up the middle, which plated Ramirez. That's all the damage UTC could do to ETSU starter Tiffany McVay (11-8) (Soddy-Daisy, Tenn.) until the sixth. Johnson opened the sixth with a walk and Grace Pickett reached on a fielder's choice. Amanda Hoiness moved both runners up with a sacrifice bunt and Stefani Thomas walked to load the bases. Favor drove a deep fly to left, which allowed Johnson to scoot home. By sweeping the series, the Lady Mocs have claimed a three-game lead in the SoCon standings. College of Charleston, which lost 2-of-3 games at Georgia Southern, is in second place at 8-4 and Elon is in third place at 9-6. The Lady Mocs host Elon in a three-game series next weekend. The teams play a doubleheader Saturday at Frost Stadium at 1 p.m. a single game Sunday at 2, while ETSU will face Virginia Tech and Radford at the State Line Classic April 21 in Bristol, Tenn.

Landscaper needs your help
As a parent, the one thing I wish for my kids is that they grow up to have a relatively normal life. I think most parents – regardless of their aspirations for their own children – would want the same thing.
For Jeff Leider and his wife, Deena, that might never happen. The Leiders' sons, Jason and Justin, were diagnosed with one of the world's most uncommon genetic diseases, Hunter syndrome, a condition that literally batters children's bodies, leaving them with swollen internal organs, bloated faces and possible dementia before they are old enough to drive a car.
Doctors estimate that only 1,500 people in the world suffer from it, with between 250 and 400 in the United States.
Here's a quote from Jeff in a recent story in The (New Jersey) Record:
"All of my dreams as a parent and all the fantasies that I had as their daddy just went out the window," Jeff added.
So far, there is no cure for the syndrome. There are some experimental medications, but they can cost as much as $300,000 a year. For each child. In March, according to The Record, the Leiders spent $4,000 in health care costs beyond what their insurance covers.
The New Jersey Landscape Contractors Association has set up an online donation form, and in two days have raised more than $4,000. If you can, please donate here.

Psst, look over here. I've got a great deal on a phone. Sure I charge $100 to $200 more than my competitors for the same product and service, but you'd rather line my pockets than theirs, because you're so used to getting ripped off by me that you can't imagine anyone else would treat you better.
That's the message coming from the major wireless carriers as they repeatedly charge hundreds of dollars more for handsets then Amazon and Wirefly. For example, Verizon charges $199.99 for the HTC Droid DNA while Amazon asks $49.99 for the same phone, with both operating on the same Verizon network under the same Verizon plans. Sprint charges $299 for the Samsung Galaxy Note II, which Amazon sells the Sprint version of for just $99. Even if you're an existing customer of a carrier, you can still use a third party site like Amazon for your upgrades
Solution: Before you buy a new phone, shop around at reputable phone etailers such as Amazon and Wirefly.
You sound incredibly cheap.
this, is a horrible article. Poor tips such as, "do not buy warranties". There also is a HUGE difference in HDMI cords. My tv came with one of the cheapo's the author suggests. I upgraded to a Monster cable much like what he said to avoid. The difference is WOW! You can't compare the two. Also if you plan to watch 3D, cheapo's won't cut it. You need a high speed 3D capable HDMI.
How happen iPhone and MacBook(Pro specifically) are not in the list? Those are probably the most overpriced products to ever see the market!
Also I don't see how the Surface Pro is overpriced since it is actually an Ultrabook and offers much more than MacBook Air for pretty much the same price.
Yes, I bought the Surface Pro, and for a developer like me its probably the most versatile product on the market by far, and I didn't felt ripped off.
Why on god's green earth do all these idiot writers compare the Surface Pro to a bottom feeding level $499 iFad? It's like comparing a Seiko to a Timex. If the writer can write this same drivel when comparing the new glorious 128GB iFad ($799 with it's iPhone based OS, no connectivity or expansion options), to the 128GB Surface Pro ($999 with a full desktop OS, 64GB micro SDXC expansion slot, active pen digitizer, USB 3.0, display port) they are still lying through their teeth if they claim there is more "value" in the $200 less iFad.
Why does everybody hate on these articles? They are there to help.
Also, go with the cheapest HDMI you can find, seriously.
This article is not only idiotic, it's BS! On what planet does the iPad get 12 hours of battery life. It doesn't get close. It gets between 9-10 hours of battery life. Secondly, how in the hell is the Surface Pro a ripoff? What nonsense!
Monster Cable's marketing has led to one of the biggest scams ever perpetrated on the American public, and I see there are some idiots here still wanting to defend their ignorance. Sure, there are bad, poorly made cables, but the specs, principles, and claims of Monster and its ilk are simply ridiculous. My favorite is "acoustic winding," or Monster Cable's claim that high and low frequencies travel on different parts of a speaker cable at different speeds and that this phenomenon induces a noticeable distortion of sound. Right. You can tell when two signals traveling for 10 to 20 feet at nearly the speed of light arrive with a 5% disparity.
But if you spend 2000% of what LAMPCORD costs, you can correct this and here sound as it should be. Oh wait, performers don't use acoustically wound cable in live shows, so you've never heard the "correct" sound anyway. Oh wait, those frequencies would travel at different speeds in THE AIR. So it's Monster that's inducing an artificial distortion. Hey David, want to buy a bridge?
I bought the extended warranty for my unibody Macbook back 2008 and it was well worth the $400 dollars. I've had my screen replaced twice, new hard-drive and what not. Right before the warranty ran out I took it in and made sure they fixed everything and a year and half later it's still ticking!
David says "You need a high speed 3D capable HDMI [cable]."
So David, you're saying 3D is in the wiring? Not the display device's software. Gold-plated, diamond-encrusted, platinum-named, stored-under-a-palladium-pyramid cables. As opposed to copper wires with the correct connectors that follow the industry spec.
Monster is glad for customers like you.
Hey why did you not mention the biggest ripoff that best buy offered that so called buyback program that you the customer had to pay for as the years went by they paid less and less for your item
All ways get warrenty on your phone, I replaced my driod X 3 times, once it got stolen and twice took a crap. For $6 a month Verizon just next days another one. Not sure where they got there info on this atricle from ???
Read the article! It says don't buy INSURANCE, not warranties. They are not the same. And insurance is a complete ripoff.
I would really think about going with no insurance on your cell phone. You may never need it it, but when your phone dies are you going to have the $600 (roughly) to replace it, or the time to take to find a good used one? My daughter's current phone has been replaced twice, and my previous phone had was replaced once. Neither has been abused, in fact mine was a known problem with the display dying on the phone.
Certainly Monster makes some nice products, but when it comes to cables that carry a digital signal, they're selling a whole lot of voodoo. Digital signal looks like a sawtooth – with two states – on or off. A $3 optical or HDMI cable carries that signal as well as a $50 cable. The content that's being transmitted – be it 3D video, dts, or whatever – makes no difference.
Actually the higher the frequency a cable is called upon to carry, the greater the loss due to capacitance within the wire. Cheaper cables often use poorer quality dielectrics as well, so there is loss possible there. I know little about HDMI, but if it is being called upon to carry very fast changing states (1 to 0 and back in the digital signal), higher quality cable could well carry information necessary to properly render fast changing digital information such as is undoubtedly present in 3D video signals. Of course, those of us who sit in front of a TV with a beer or two under our belts hardly notice anything anyway, so who cares, really?
Monster cables are overpriced but don't buy the cheapest. There are differences! Best Buy is Worst Buy. They sell what they need to move out of stock. Their employees are forced to do this. Their Geek Squad is overpriced and generally run by idiots. They lie and tell people their PC is dead so they will buy something new there. Warranties are always a great idea for non tech people who screw up their machine thinking its all so easy to fix.
How about EVERYONE stop buying $500 or $600 phones that you need to worry about "losing' or "breaking"? You want High Def or 3D? How about GO OUTSIDE AND EXPERIENCE NATURE? Don't need any HDMI cord for that!!!!
Does everyone seriously need to own/be on a tablet, smartphone, yadda-yadda-yadda all of the time? You can spend A LOT LESS MONEY if you have a PHONE that is used for calls and use your computer for being on-line!!!!! Do you REALLY need to watch that latest episode of TV on your phone (I honestly wish I was an Optometrist for all of the vision problems people are going to be having with their eyes in about 5 years!) or take photos/videos with it???
90% of technology is a ripoff because ALL OF THE MANUFACURERS/CARRIERS, etc. don't care about anything but their bottom line and profit, and society has bought into each and every single thing because they tell you you need to have it!!!! Sorry – I use my cell phone (yes, a FLIP PHONE) to make calls WHEN NECESSARY. I still READ BOOKS, write letters to friends and try to be CULTURED!!!!!!! I go to actual concerts and I DON'T VIDEO THEM AND POST TO YOU TUBE (you want to see the concert, pay for it like I did!). I still look at my Grandmother's recipies, I don't need a tablet computer in the kitchen so that I can watch a video on how to cook. I still use road maps/atlases to get from point A to B – because I don't need GPS sending me off of a cliff! I don't do SOcial Media because I value my privacy, and don't need 3000 "friends" I have never met!!!!
Seriosuly, if you want to save money – how about you lay off of having the newest, latest gadgets every year or 2?
FOR THE RECORD – I am a 40 year old female employed by local government and surprisingly, after that rant, am one of the most technology-smart people you would meet. I can do pretty much anything on any OS/Platform, can use software back to 1992 to current, and am the go-to for my entire Agency on any tech issue you can imagine. I know the tech, but I hate the tech and refuse to personally buy into having all of these trackable devices that are overpriced, make you anti-face to face social and take away from human interaction!
I questioned the need for phone insurance until my SGS-II slid out of my pocket and into my cat's water bowl. Asurion tried to fob me off with newer but technologically inferior phones. I called them and let them know my displeasure. It took three weeks but I got a new SGS-II for $130 – much less than the used and refurbs were going for at the time.
If you DO want to buy a warranty, check 3rd party vendors, like Square Trade. Sign up for their e-mails, and they will send you 30% off codes on a regular basis, plus they allow you to put an extended warranty on a new device within 30 days of purchase. So if they don't have a 30% off code this week, they likely will next week, and those codes make their "already cheaper than the big box store" warranties even cheaper! $300 to extend the warranty an extra 2 years on your laptop? I extended mine, through Square Trade, for <$75. Oh, and before anyone whines about how slow they are, they GUARANTEE a 5-day turnaround on repairs, or you get a full refund. Try getting that from the big box store warranties!
Cheap HDMI cables can be pretty cheap, but you CAN buy inexpensive HDMI cables that will handle your 3D video for far cheaper than your Monster cables cost. Buy Monster, you're paying a 300% premium for their NAME.
I bought a 3 yr extended warranty from Best Buy on my Panasonic Viera 42 inch Plasma TV in 2007, and 13 months later(1 month after the manufacturers warranty expired) , I had pixel die off occur on the TV. Called up Best Buy, they came out, saw what I was talking about, and called up a store and they immediately brought out a brand new Panasonic Viera 42 inch(but a 2008 model), which was actually better than the one that had issues(like 3 HDMI and the original had 2). In 2010, about 3 months before the 3 yr warranty was to expire, one of the HDMI inputs quit working, called them up, they came out, looked at it, called the store and shortly after I had a 50 inch Panasonic TV with 4 HDMI inputs. So in 3 yrs, I got two TV's out of the $100 3 yr extended warranty.
Its stupid to say that they are not needed, pixel die off is something that can happen easily, and HDMI inputs can quit working if they get unplugged/plugged into alot(like I found out), but because of that extra cash handed over in 2007, I got both issues repaired for free. And the reason I got the 50 inch TV as a replacement, it cost the same amount as what the TV that had issues cost brand new, so they gave me an upgrade. And that TV still has not had any issues either
Funny how he recommends getting a cheap tablet so you can then pay too much for an ultrabook. While i agree about buying something like the Kindle Fire unless you are one of the people that live out of hotels the crazy prices for the ultrabooks simply aren't worth it, not when you can buy a nice quad core laptop for less than $500. Or if size is a factor there are still places selling the last of the Asus AMD netbooks, I have one and it gets over 4 hours even after 3 years of use on the battery and is able to play 1080P over HDMI so when i'm not out and about I can easily use it as an HTPC.
I also disagree about cheap cables, while monster cables are overpriced the ultra cheap cables have then wires and thin shielding makes for a worse picture and quicker failure. A better choice would be one of the premium cables from Monoprice, they aren't much more than the cheapies but are well made.
To David, who wrote the second comment, I must say, you are quite a sucker, my friend. Paying $60 to Monster for a cable of worse quality than the same cable you can get from Monoprice for $4 is just wanting to throw your money away. I've had a few Monster cables and after a year or two they became useless, while the only cable that I bought from Monoprice that didn't last was because my dog chewed it. I have all kinds of HDMI cables from Monoprice of different lengths all the way up to 15 feet and they are excellent. The only cheapo HDMI cables that are bad are the ones that usually come with TV sets or Blu-ray players, the ones that are really thin. If you pay Monster $60 for a cable that costs them $1 to make, you are a sucker.
I don't agree with much this author says. His approach is way too simplistic & he seems to lack the technical sophistication necessary to discuss the issues properly. I won't rip apart each of his claims but will discuss 2 as examples of his failings.
First. You can't compare an ipad to the Surface. It's like comparing a motorcycle to a car. The ipad is for someone who doesn't need all the functionality of a computer while the surface for all intensive purposes is a laptop. As an IT professional I can appreciate a tablet running a full version of Windows, capable of running the same software as my desktops & laptops. But for off hours and for entertainment purposes I can also appreciate a lightweight, nimble tablet like the ipad. They're two separate things, for different needs. Both are valuable devices with overlapping functions but they're not the same thing. To call the Surface a ripoff is ridiculous.
As for cables, this author and most of the readers also miss the mark. Different signals, require different quality cables (there are standards for these things). If you have a 100 Megabit Ethernet network you can use a Cat5 cable, but if you have a gigabit network you need a cat 5e cable and maybe want cat6. Different standards for different speeds. The difference is in the shielding (insolation). The same is true of HDMI cables. There are different grades for different uses. See http://dealnews.com/features/How-to-Choose-the-Right-HDMI-Cable/475907.html . Do you ever need a $79.99 HDMI cable? No. But you do need the right cable for your needs.
Most people aren't educated consumers and the help at most of the stores that sell the electronics aren't knowledgeable enough to give customers the correct guidance. It would be my hope that these types of columns would fill in the gaps. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be the case.
You won't pay extra for using your phone's tethering feather? Who is this man's carrier? Unicorn Wireless?
If you want to enable the hotspot on a Sprint phone, you gotta shell out $20-30 for that. I suspect other carriers are similar.
On a more serious note, it's not wise to just outright tell readers to simply download a program like Fox.Fi to tether "without giving more money to the carrier." Generally, this risks violating your carrier's terms of service and risks getting your service disconnected or just getting slammed with an excruciatingly high bill. Further, carriers like AT&T are getting wise to this and automatically apply tethering plans to accounts of frequent offenders. Also, depending on your carrier's restrictions, tethering apps like Fox.Fi have been purposely disallowed from being installed to your device direct from the Google Play Store, meaning these apps need to be sideloaded, meaning that you may or may not have to root/jailbreak your Android/iOS device AND as we know, is HIGHLY LIKELY to void any warranty you have or may have purchased.
Most people taking the time to read any site like this probably already know this stuff and probably aren't condemning the practice :-). Just make sure some of the less informed readers are also made aware of the risks associated.
"phone's tethering feather" = "phone's tethering feature". Dang MacBook's autocorrect.
I have to agree with all the negative comments concerning Best Buy's actions and policies. They lied when they said I bought a NEW wide screen TV. It was a *refurbished* wide screen TV. When light is shined at the correct angle you can see the rubber mallet dents where they seated the frame back where it was pried up from! The TV shortly began developing a dark "smudge" that grew until it snaked its way from the top to the bottom. My next TV was from Amazon and the only problem with it were the clods that Amazon contracted to haul it in here only to leave it still in the bottom half of the shipping box. My cleaning service people helped me get it up out of there … and Amazon gave me a $50 credit toward my next purchase.
Oh, Yes! Let's not forget "Square Deal" ! I bought it but they refuse to set it up for me claiming that it was purchased under another email address! Amazon.com is NOT difficult to deal with so I just had them cancel it ! So far, Amazon wins !
A) ATOM-powered WIn8 tablets run Windows RT, so, in addition to inferior hardware performance, they also deliver inferior overall performance due to their crippled OS.
NEVER buy ANYTHING from Monster. Decades of double-blind testing have proved that virtually all of their claims are definitely bogus and the remainder are highly dubious, at best.
Basic rule of thumb: NEVER buy "extended warranties"/"service plans"/whatever.
They are structured to be incredibly difficult to use and the odds are so heavily against you needing one and successfully using it are so high that you're better off – as the article says – just eating the risk.
So, RAM/cable/adapter/SSD ripoff complete with screenshots of the j'accuse! type and no Apple in sight?
