5 People Who Abused Tiny Amounts of Power in Hilarious Ways
Sadly, we've come to expect stories about politicians and police officers abusing their power in awful ways. But there's no reason they should get to keep all of that shit for themselves -- after all, with a little creativity and a lot of insanity, anyone can abuse their position for fun and profit.
It's just a little harder to get away with it, apparently ...
#5. The Astronaut Who Stole the Moon

Thad Roberts dreamed about going to space his entire life. And it seemed like he might have even had an outside chance of doing so when, in 2001, he was accepted into NASA's prestigious co-op program and elite training course for aspiring astronauts. So he tossed The Right Stuff soundtrack on his iPod, headed out the door, and was on his way to goddamn NASA.

"Shit, this is New Kids on the Block."
It doesn't seem like the sort of job where you'd want to steal from the till, but damn it, NASA has some awesome stuff that's just begging to be stolen ...
The Crime:
While he'd finally made it to the big show, Roberts' dreams of space travel took a backseat when he noticed a selection of moon rocks -- and one from Mars -- that a NASA scientist kept in a locked safe in his office. He decided: Fuck going to the moon, he had the moon right here.
Plus, do you know how expensive a Saturn V is? Like ... a couple grand, at least.
Over the course of months, Roberts hatched his plan to steal part of the moon. Eventually, he met and fell in love with an intern, Tiffany Fowler, who agreed to help him commit the celestial heist. So what sort of sophisticated Ocean's 11-style caper did they embark upon to snatch the precious space rocks? Did they need to steal security codes? Hack the surveillance cameras? Somersault in between security lasers?
Ha ha, no! They just loaded the 600-pound safe onto a dolly and walked right out the goddamn door, presumably whistling nonchalantly the whole time.

Now, it's worth mentioning that Roberts was a little bit nuts. He admitted in an interview that, after making off with his prize, he took Fowler to a hotel room and put the moon rocks under the blankets so that they were "basically having sex on the moon." We sort of get the appeal, but that still sounds uncomfortable as hell.
Anyway, Roberts was eventually caught trying to sell his stash, valued at a staggering $21 million, to some undercover FBI agents. Because of course they were FBI agents. If you're advertising moon rocks for sale right after a historic theft of moon rocks, it doesn't take a super sleuth to deduce that they may in fact be the same moon rocks.

"Dammit, what does it all mean?"
When authorities searched his house, they also found a bunch of fossils he'd stolen from some museum in Utah. So either he was history's biggest science nerd, or he was frothingly insane. You can be the judge.
#4. The Robert De Niro Look-Alike Who Became Robert De Niro
Evan Agostini/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Joseph Manuella is a former NYC firefighter and a professional Robert De Niro impersonator who worked as a stand-in for the actor in 1996's The Fan. Incidentally, that was the film in which a guy's infatuation with a celebrity led him to commit outlandish crimes. That'll become relevant in a minute.
Mary Ellen Mark
Luckily, he didn't start copying the whole stabbing someone in a sauna thing.
Manuella was apparently pretty good at his job, making as much as $1,500 for showing up in character as the Oscar-winner at various corporate events, weddings, and birthday parties. Apparently nothing quite says, "Happy Bat Mitzvah, Rachel," like an appearance from the Taxi Driver. To give an example of how good he is, here's a video of him performing on stage, lip-synching to ... a Joe Pesci song. Aw hell, same thing, right?
Joe Manuella via YouTube
So how do you run afoul of the law when your only skill is looking and sounding like De Niro? Guess.
The Crime:
Manuella took out a credit card in the actor's name, secured free hotel rooms for himself, and began claiming to be the real deal when trying to score with women, behavior which onlookers thought was out of place for the married actor. He was apparently so bold in his deceptions that he would sign pictures of himself as De Niro, and was even able to fool the head of Sony Pictures.
Chris Weeks/Hulton Archive/Getty Images
Did you think the real De Niro would agree to Little Fockers?
Authorities busted him in 2001 (they lured him in by promising a paying gig at a hotel) and charged him with two counts of criminal impersonation for his crimes. They held him overnight and released him on $100 bail, probably because they were afraid that if they locked him up for too long, he'd come out covered in tattoos to terrorize Nick Nolte and his family.
#3. The First Responder Who Stole Severed Body Parts
Ingram Publishing/Ingram Publishing/Getty Images
For Cindy Economou, helping others was more than just her work; it was her passion. When she wasn't doing her day job, working as a firefighter and paramedic in Florida's St. Lucie County, she was working at Fully Involved Farms, the organization she founded to help train emotionally and mentally challenged athletes to compete in the Special Olympics.
Digital Vision./Photodisc/Getty Images
She also founded an organization that pairs deaf golden retriever puppies with blind orphans.
Named the 2007 firefighter of the year for her district, Economou seems like the first person you'd want arriving at your accident scene.
The Crime:
... unless you want to take all your body parts home with you, that is. Just ask Karl Lambert, the victim in a serious 2008 car accident on Interstate 95 that left his foot and part of his leg severed. Economou was one of the first responders on the scene and, after Lambert had been sent to the hospital, she found the remains of Lambert's foot in the wreckage. And she took it home with her.
Vicheslav/iStock/Getty Images
If we just sew limbs back on every time you cut one off, then you won't learn anything.
It sounds like the prologue to the story of a cannibal serial killer, but Economou's explanation for keeping the morbid trophy was a little more mundane -- she claimed she wanted it to help train her body recovery dog to find injured people in disaster zones. Because even when she was committing a horrifying crime, she did it like a goddamn Girl Scout.
As part of her defense, Economou assured that when she found the foot, it was an "unrecognizable mass of flesh. It wasn't a clean cut. You couldn't even recognize it as a foot." Oh, well, then it's not weird at all that you took it and shoved it in your pocket for your dog to play with. She was charged with second-degree petty larceny and sentenced to six months' probation. She also had to step down from her job, leaving St. Lucie County minus one shithouse-insane emergency responder.
Jochen Sand/Photodisc/Getty Images
"I'm not saying they were wrong, but what's a few limbs compared to the terrible coffee quality since she left."
That sort of thing is hardly an isolated incident, by the way. Weston Henri Moquin was a lab assistant at Ohio State University whose daily routine consisted of studying and cataloging human bones and remains. Between 2011 and 2012 he was stealing bones -- and one human fetus -- from the lab and selling them on eBay, making over $84,000 in the process. If you're wondering who buys something like that, the sales went mostly to three recipients: a medical researcher in Utah, a company in Oregon called Frozen Critters, and the Bone Room, a store in Berkeley where you can buy real human skeletons for all of your personal skeleton needs. But if you want a skull, you'd better order soon, as their website notes that they are hard to come by since "China has shut down its exportation of human bones."

war criminals of 'Palestine'
My immediate reaction to the Dec. 5 article "Palestinians explore case against Israel" is that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones — or launch rockets. Since Israel completely withdrew from Gaza in 2005, terrorists from that part of the "State of Palestine" have launched more than 8,000 rockets, all aimed at civilians in Israel. Each of those launches is a war crime under international law. Almost all were launched from civilian areas, making each a double war crime.

Fire Commissioner Salvatore J. Cassano today announced Dr. Glenn Asaeda is the new Chief Medical Director of the Office of Medical Affairs (OMA). Dr. Asaeda is a 15-year veteran of the FDNY and succeeds Dr. John Freese, who has served the Department for more than a decade.
"Dr. Glenn Asaeda has spent his life in the field of Emergency Medical Service, working tirelessly to improve patient care and treat the sick and injured," said Commissioner Cassano. "In his new role as Chief Medical Director of OMA, he will continue his outstanding work with the Department and look to further improve what is already the best pre-hospital care found anywhere in the world."
Dr. Asaeda, a native of San Francisco, has been involved in emergency medical work for more than 30 years, starting out as an EMS cadet in California in the early 1980's where he served his community working as an EMT, Paramedic and 911 dispatcher.
After graduating from medical school at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1993, Dr. Asaeda completed his emergency medicine residency at the Brooklyn Hospital Medical Center where he served as Chief Resident in his final year. He joined the FDNY in 1998 as an EMS Fellow, and went on to serve as an OMA physician and Division Medical Director for Brooklyn and Staten Island. On September 11th, 2001, Dr. Asaeda supervised triage activities at the World Trade Center. In 2012, he was appointed First Deputy Medical Director, and recently, during and after Hurricane Sandy, he played a critical role in coordinating patient evacuations from Bellevue Hospital.
In addition to his work in OMA, Dr. Asaeda is currently the Assistant Medical Team Manager for the New York Task Force Urban Search and Rescue Team (USAR), and has been part of the USAR deployments to Haiti, the Dominican Republic, the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston, and to communities in upstate New York following Hurricane Irene.

I was looking at this and noticed the rated life is 2,000 hours? Not very long as I would rather get a longer life oil lubed compressor. Silentaire, Dynair, etc have good compressors that are down to 45dB. Much more pricey, but I ended up buying 2 different Silentaire compressors after a month of research.
It may be ultra quiet, but 1 HP isn't gonna do much besides run a brad nailer. If you want to use an impact wrench or spray gun, you need at least 1.7 if not 2 HP.
@woot tang clan: It says 3000 hours. Plus what market is this targeting? I've seen cheaper oil lube compressors with 1HP output that give their ratings a "hundreds of hours". I'm pretty sure those are meant for casual use. So is this meant for a casual use market as well?

I am using Twitter Bootstrap for modal dialogs: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#modals (bootstrap-modal.js).
When I hit "esc", the modal closes, as expected. However, as you can see from the example on that page, the cursor is then missing. The user has to click on the browser window to put it back in focus.
This is an issue for me, because I have a site that's primarily driven by keyboard shortcuts. As a result, once the modal dialog is closed, the user will hit a certain keys expecting something to happen, but it won't work. He/she first will have to click in the browser window for the keyboard shortcuts to work again.
I've tried calling
$('body').focus() after the modal is hidden (i.e. after
$('#modalDiv').modal('hide');, but that does not change anything.
Any ideas?

7 Filthy Jokes You Didn't Notice in Shakespeare
Let's face it: The percentage of our audience who will just sit down and read a bunch of Shakespeare without being forced to by a professor is pretty damned small. And that's too bad, because what most non-English majors don't realize is that under Shakespeare's flowery language and incomprehensible old-timey wordplay is a whole lot of sly references to boners, anal sex, masturbation, and much worse.
#7. Romeo and Juliet -- Mercutio Tells Romeo to Find a Girl Who Leaves the Back Door Open
At the beginning of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo's sex life is as barren as Frank Herbert's Dune (though judging by how the play ends, it really doesn't get that much better once he meets Juliet). As he laments this fact, his motor-mouthed friend Mercutio shares this timeless bit of wisdom:
If love be blind, love cannot hit the mark.
Now will he sit under a medlar tree
And wish his mistress were that kind of fruit
As maids call medlars when they laugh alone.
O Romeo, that she were! Oh, that she were
An open arse, and thou a poperin pear
(Emphasis ours)
James Brydges
"Emphasass mine."
Mercutio is talking about a medlar fruit, which was colloquially referred to as an "open arse," for reasons that can never be adequately explained. However, there is no such thing as a poperin pear -- it's another old-timey play on words. Separate "poperin" into its three syllables and you get an Elizabethan penis euphemism -- "pop 'er in."
Yep. Mercutio is saying, "What you need, my friend, is a chick who does anal."
Nicholas Joseph Crowley/Royal Shakespeare Company Collection
Mercutio, the original Dude-Bro.
#6. The Taming of the Shrew -- Playful Banter About Cunnilingus
In The Taming of the Shrew (more commonly known by its Latin name, 10 Things I Hate About You), Petruchio is trying to woo the frigid ice queen Katherine so that her insane father will allow her younger sister to get married. Luckily, Petruchio's preferred method of wooing is to engage Katherine in playfully sexual banter while wagging his eyebrows like Groucho Marx:
Come, come, you wasp, i'faith you are too angry.
If I be waspish, best beware my sting.
My remedy is then to pluck it out.
Ay, if the fool could find where it lies.
Who knows not where a wasp does wear his sting? In his tail.
In his tongue.
Whose tongue?
Yours, if you talk of tales, and so farewell.
What, with my tongue in your tail?
George Henry Hall/Royal Shakespeare Company Collection
"STAGE NOTE: PETRUCHIO should immediately turn to the audience and start flicking his tongue whilst pelvic thrusting."
In his defense, she started it. Katherine takes his simple analogy about pulling out a wasp's stinger and twists it into that age-old indictment about men being thoroughly unable to locate key parts of a woman's anatomy. Petruchio smartly counters by offering to lick her asshole, and the game is afoot.
"Your feet, tail, ears, whatever. I'm down for anything."
Or at least that's what it looks like to us. But back in Shakespeare's day, "tail" was jack-jawing street talk for "vulva." So in actuality, Petruchio is merely building upon Katherine's barbed quip by offering to shove his face into her crotch. This is truly a battle of wits.
#5. The Comedy of Errors -- A Single Fat Joke Gets Stretched Out for an Entire Page
In The Comedy of Errors, two of the characters begin a protracted discussion of the physical characteristics of a woman named Nell. This is another way of saying that they call her a globular fatass for 23 lines of dialogue:
What's her name?
Nell, sir; but her name and three quarters, that's
an ell and three quarters, will not measure her from
hip to hip.
Then she bears some breadth?
No longer from head to foot than from hip to hip:
she is spherical, like a globe; I could find out
countries in her.
DEA Picture Library/De Agostini Picture Library/Getty
"Her measurements are in longitude and fatitude."
Realizing they have just struck comedic gold by comparing this woman's corpulent roundness to the planet Earth, the two men proceed to describe where on Nell's undulating ocean of obesity the countries of the world would be located. They start by declaring Ireland to be resting directly on the muddy banks of her asshole, because Shakespeare was English, and as such was required to hate the Irish at least as much as he clearly hated fat women:
In what part of her body stands Ireland?
Marry, in her buttocks: I found it out by the bogs.
Royal Shakespeare Company Collection
"This was my Hit 'Em Up."
Get it? "Bogs." Meaning "shit." Anyway, they continue playing Carmen Sandiego with Nell's anatomy, doing their best to insult both her and other nations, including lines about Nell's big chin and nose, until this vaudevillian routine finally comes to a close on this blazing punchline:
Where stood Belgia, the Netherlands?
Oh, sir, I did not look so low.
Thomas Newland/Shakespeare Birthplace Trust
After writing this line, he dropped the quill like a mic and pimped out of the room.
Yep. They're talking about her vagina, and how Dromio would rather punch his own face inside out than deign to look upon it. Incidentally, this conversation does nothing to advance the plot in any way, and Nell is never mentioned again.
#4. Hamlet -- Hamlet Tries to Go Alanis Morissette on Ophelia
Shakespeare's Hamlet is about a guy (named Hamlet) who comes home from college to find out his uncle has murdered his father and married his mother. Hamlet responds by literally killing everyone around him. Except for Ophelia, his kind-of girlfriend, whom he merely decides to drive insane by doing his best to confuse, embarrass, and insult her in every conversation they have, for the sole purpose of cracking himself up. Like in this exchange, when he sits down next to her in a theater:
Lady, shall I lie in your lap?
No, my lord.
I mean, my head upon your lap.
Ay, my lord.
Do you think I meant country matters?
I think nothing, my lord.
That's a fair thought to lie between maid's legs.
What is, my lord?
Agnes Pringle/Chiswick Town Hall
"Now quiet, the curtains are opening and I want to see if they match the drapes."
Ophelia is doing her best to be polite, and Hamlet is taking every single one of her responses and twisting them to be about her vagina. See, when she first declines his offer to put his head in her lap, presumably on the grounds that it is a totally insane thing for a grown man to suggest in a formal public setting, he clarifies, "No no, on your lap, not inside it. Did you think I meant country matters?" Drop the second syllable from "country" and you'll see what Hamlet is talking about.
Again, Ophelia politely tries to deflect his infantile japes by simply saying, "I think nothing," but Hamlet immediately quips, "Nothing, eh? 'No thing' is pretty much what I'd expect to find between a woman's legs." At this point, Hamlet presumably dons a spinning bow tie while someone in the orchestra pit plays a slide whistle.
George Clint/Victoria and Albert Museum
"Tell me, do you smell something fishy in the state of Denmark?"

Ext.draw.Component - some Template Function-Calls missing
Ext version tested:
- Ext 4.2.1 rev 883
Mac OS X 10.6
- Opera 12.16
- FireFox 26.0 (firebug 126.96.36.199 installed)
- Safari 5.1.10 (6534.59.10)
- The expected behavior of Template-Functions like startDrag, b4startDrag, onStartDrag doesn't apply. It seems they are not called. In general there is a big difference to console.log(this) between overriding Templates of Ext.panel.Panel and Ext.draw.Component.
- follow https://fiddle.sencha.com/fiddle/2dg/preview
- open Browser-Console
- move Sencha-Icon around (try - it doesn't move also...)
- Should log in console: "startDrag", "b4startDrag" and "onStartDrag"
- Icon should move around
- Doesn't output log because related template-functions are not called
- Icon is not draggable around
11 Jan 2014 7:35 AM #2
Thanks for the report. I'm not sure you are utilizing the API correctly in your Fiddle. You are configuring your Ext.draw.Component object with a ddGroup and groups, which don't seem to be valid configurations for it. Further, the draggable configuration should be boolean or a ComponentDragger object. The ComponentDragger does not list events for startDrag, b4startDrag, or onStartDrag. It does offer the following (among others) which might prove helpful: dragstart, beforestart, drag.
11 Jan 2014 3:20 PM #3
Thanks for response
... is there a Link I can easily understand what you are talking about ?
I didn't search for my way to do this terrible mistake - but I think there is a reason. Maybe you can see this if you review related docs.
I remember, I got problems by building a cardgame where I try to generate draggable items within a template (instead known DOM-Docs) to get in DOM of draggable items known by extjs.
That was the reason I thought about: It is a game - games uses Sprites and no Items :-)
I think my real problem causes on terrible grown item-objects (100-200) all are on one page:
But I cannot figure out what is the real way to do this - for me it is the right way because the difference from draggable Panels to Draw Components is not significantly - isn't it ?
Finaly also this wasn't my solution I hoped for.
Maybe you can give me a direction to go forward thinking ... (it is not needed to find a complete solution for me - I cannot see the borders/envision this the right way - this is where I need help)...
I gave up at the moment - and I understand community isn't able to have Ideas for the above linked discussion.

Season 2012/13
Boro u18s v City: Match preview
- 29 April 2013 14:35
- Posted by @markbooth_mcfc
City u18s play Middlesbrough at Rockliffe Park on Tuesday afternoon hoping it won't be their penultimate game of the season.
Adam Sadler's men have forced their way into the post-season reckoning with a fine run of form since February, losing only two of their last nine Barclays u18 Premier League games.
It will be the third game in a matter of four days after City put FA Youth Cup finalists Norwich City to the sword with a swashbuckling 4-1 win at Colney.
This will be the fourth and final meeting between City and Middlesbrough this season.
City have won one and drawn two of the previous three encounters with Boro and go into this one knowing that a win will keep hopes of a play-off place alive.
Kick-off at Rockliffe Park is at 1.30pm and we'll bring you a report on how they got on here on mcfc.co.uk after full-time.

Underwater photos are always so amazing because they give us an opportunity to see something of a seemingly different world. The clarity is fantastic.
beautiful! Let me remember the game picture in Raman.

Wow what an amazing under-water world we have. Great shot.
The garden under the bay! Exquisite, colorful, and unbelieveable! The shoal of barracuda in the background in their hundreds, look really impressive, but thats what some fish do Enjoyed the picture a lot. j.e.s..
Nature is amazing!
Awesome miracles of the universe! Superb image!
Awesome colours! superb shot!

Great photo. Such vibrant colors, and mystical.
This is Papua New Guinea not Australia.
Wow, I am speechless from the fabulousness of this photo! Thank you for sharing it.
"UNFATHOMABLE'' Beauty. The neon colors and many shapes along with the Barracuda make it an undersea delight! Thanks for the Beauty!
hi david ,happy new year it is very beautiful photo
Stunning picture !!!
Kimbe Bay is not in Australia. Kimbe Bay is part off the north coast of West New Britain
West New Britain is a province of Papua New Guinea on the islands of New Britain. The provincial capital is Kimbe.
Interesting how all of the fish are traveling away from the photographer accept the two in the upper right corner. I wonder why? Is there something outside of the frame we don't see? Very interesting. Beautiful picture nonetheless! Well done!
Great job!!!
Amazing Picture
Beautiful crown
stunningly beautiful ... what colors!!! ...wow.
Great details, colors that make you feel it is alive !! Good job!!
Thanx ! beautiful, mind blowing__I love water & just look at that school of fish with those plankton, lovely.
Beautifull pic
Simply Stunning!
The intensity of the colours in these marine creatures is incredible! The vibrancy of the colours in the foreground is enhanced by their contrast with the muted blue background. The radial formation of the fish in the background echoes the shape of the radiating white and orange arms of that feather star crinoid.
Thanks you, David, for this vision of the exotic marine environment.

Ext.Window show() works incorrectly in IE7/8
I'm using Ext.Window to show images from thumbnails. It also contains toolbar with next/prev buttons to browse the images. In FF or Chrome works everything fine.
In IE I encountered two errors:
1) When I click the magnfying glass icon which triggers the functions that creates Ext.Window, nothing happens. On second click, window is finally shown. (debugger gets to the line winThumbnail.show()
2) Clicking anywhere on the Ext.Window including close button, header or the next/prev arrows, window becomes grey and the whole pages doesn't respond. Looks like some layer covers it.
I have almost the same functionality (functions for generating Ext.Window and it's template to show buttons are exactly the same) on another page and it works even in IE.
Any ideas what could be possibly wrong?
Thanks in advance.
3 Jun 2010 2:41 AM #2
I figured it out by myself.
There is some error in positioning Ext.Window. For some reason it's initial x-position was -5000. Even center() method does not work if the window has such position (calculates -2500). After setting x-position to 5000, center worked fine and the problem is solved.

Here's a question that I've wondered about somewhat idly from time to time. I think it would be hard, but even a partial result would be interesting. Hopefully someone here can make some headway.
Fix an algebraically closed field k (one can also relax this, e.g. k = $\mathbb{Q}$ is very interesting). Suppose that X and Y are two closed subschemes of affine or projective spaces over k given by explicit equations.
Is there an algorithm to decide whether X and Y are isomorphic?
A few comments.
I'm being a bit sloppy about the use of the word "algorithm". One can assume that the operations of k are Turing computable, or else choose a different model of computation.
For affine schemes, this can be stated as the isomorphism problem for finitely generated commutative k-algebras. I expect that the isomorphism problem for noncommutative finitely presented associative algebras would be false, since it seems close to the corresponding problem for groups which is undecidable. But the reduction is not quite clear to me. Is this known?
To give a positive solution, one would need an effective threshold d, so that either there is no isomorphism at all or there exists an isomorphism defined by a rational expression with degree (of the numerator and denominator) bounded by $d$. I have no feeling for whether this reasonable or not.
For the simplest case, where X is a smooth projective plane curve, a positive solution would amount showing that the corresponding point in the moduli space $M_g$, is computable ($g= (deg X-1)(deg X-2)/2$ ). This looks challenging, but somehow it feels tractable to me.
Added Note: While I think spontaneous discussion is good, I would like to encourage anyone who has a substantial result about this to write it down carefully and perhaps post it on the arxiv.

I may be able to source enough raw honey to make a batch of mead from it. Are there any special concerns that I need to be aware of? If I don't boil it, should I use camden tablets to control any wild yeast and/or bacteria?
Most micro organisms will not grow in honey due to it's low water activity rating of 0.6. Bacteria needs at least 0.91 and fungi needs .7 water activity to grow. The water activity of distilled water is exactly 1. Most honey should be fine for making mead without heating. You do need to be aware that if it starts to separate the water activity has changed due to outside moisture and it may be able to support bacteria. I have made many meads and have never heated or used campden tablets without any infections. As long as your fermentation is strong and healthy you shouldn't have any problems with bacteria from raw honey.
In the words of Dwight Schrute, "That's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought..."
Some people swear that honey should never be heated, and others maintain that heating or chemical pasteurization is necessary. Regardless of your stance, it's undeniable that heating honey destroys it's aroma and flavor, so it's best to minimize the amount of heat added. Heating up to 37°C (98.6° F) causes loss of nearly 200 components, some of which are antibacterial. Heating up to 40°C (104° F) destroys invertase, an important enzyme. At 50°C (122° F), the honey sugars caramelize.
If you do heat, you can follow this pasteurization table:
Temperature Time (min)
Do not heat pure honey, as it is difficult to keep it evenly mixed and at a uniform temperature. Instead, mix it with warm water.
If you choose not to heat, you can add metabisulfate (Campden) if you're still nervous about wild yeast or bacteria in the honey. However, many homebrewers don't pasteurize or add Campden to their honey, particularly when making meads and braggots. Because honey is hydrophilic, most bugs can't grow in it, so the risk of contamination is low.
People will tell you that bugs won't grow in raw honey, and they're right. The bad news is that they're still there and they'll grow just fine when you add water to make the must. (Let's remember people, there are bee parts in this stuff...)
If you pitch well with a very large yeast population, it is possible to have a fine ferment and a fine mead because of population pressure (large populations can cooperatively out-compete other bugs). This can be preferable because you won't lose your aromatics due to volatilization during heat pasteurization.
On the other hand, if you're unsure about your pitch or you don't like to take risks you can also sterilize your must following standard techniques (plenty of which are suggested here in other answers, or in easy to find online resources). It's also worth noting that a heat process can also help produce a clearer mead (I'm guessing due to denatured proteins), but it's not strictly necessary for a crystal clear mead.
I've always used raw honey, but I've had mild infections that are producing off-flavors in my mead. I'm currently looking into processes that will let me have the best of both worlds. My next experiments will be: - Long term (6+ hours) closed bottle pasteurization of my honey at low temperatures. - UV sterilization of must (utilizing an unfiltered UV light source and an even longer time).
I was going to point out that organisms that produce endospores, like Clostridium botulinum survive in honey, but then I remembered that you can not kill them by boiling. The spores could also be naturally present in anything you brew or preserve. This is why you should use a pressure cooker for canning non-acidic foods.
I did a bit more research, and found this:
Honey: a reservoir for microorganisms and an inhibitory agent for microbes, Olatien et.al
Bacterial endospores live four hours in boiling heat, UV, and pretty much everything else.
Anything you can kill without a pressure cooker, autoclave or gamma radiation is dead after a couple of weeks in honey at room temperature.
Re: HONEY SHOULD NEVER BE HEATED AT ALL.
Wikipedia says
I'm not sure how dangerous heated honey is, but apparently coffee contains more of 'it'. So your yearly intake of coffee vs yearly intake of mead? I'd say mead is good to drink!
*Not an expert but...
HONEY SHOULD NEVER BE HEATED AT ALL. I have myself seen this poisonous effect on one of my relatives who used to take honey in hot fluids. this affected him badly. when he went to the doctor, and after months of diagnosis, he was diagnosed with the accumulation of a glue like substance in his body, and very late it was discovered that this was due to the heated honey. the heating of honey changes the molecular structure of the honey and makes it highly toxic. it should be made compulsory by all the legislations in the world to mark on the bottles that honey should not be heated. also, it is a shame that too many companies these days are marketing their cereals with honey, whose preparation involves heating the cereals to cook them. the right procedure is only to cook the cerals, then make them luke warm and thereafter only add honey. these companies who are marketing so many sorts of "processed foods" as "healthy choices for people" should be banned by people, as no government around the world have hands big enough to ban these big and powerful brands. this has been scientifically proven that when honey is heated, it forms a chemical called as hydroxymethyl furfuraldehyde (HMF) and also chemically alters its basic structure/ composition while increasing peroxides.

Shelter seeking
'Special Santas'
It's never too late to be a "Special Santa" to the more than 200 dogs and cats who call Hounds' Haven Animal Shelter home.
A shelter spokesperson said, "The critters have created a wish list and hope you can find it in your heart to help them, with a donation of any of the following items:
Dog food;
Cat food;
Cat litter;
Dog biscuits;
Cat treats;
Paper towels;
Pet carriers;
Dog beds; and
Litter boxes.
Anyone interested in helping can call (740) 733-8546 to arrange delivery of any gifts.
"Donations to the shelter have been down this year, and our supplies of pet food are critically low," the spokesperson said. "Of course, monetary contributions are always welcome. Send your tax-deductible contributions to: Hounds' Haven, 22 township Road 150, Dillonvale, OH 43917. Your donations help with our lifetime commitment to all pets, who have a home at our shelter forever.

Lions assist with
disaster relief
The Toronto Lions Club members pitched in to do their part in assisting with Hurricane Sandy disaster relief.
District 13G Lions clubs, which include the counties of Jefferson, Harrison, Belmont, Wayne, Holmes, Coshocton, Guernsey and Tuscarawas counties under the leadership of Beth Johnson of Uhrichsville, district governor, and Steve Sherer of New Philadelphia, past international director, teamed up Nov. 29 to send needed items to the families affected by Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey.
Items collected included a variety of cleaning supplies; coats for children and adults; socks, gloves and shoes; blankets; heaters; flashlights and batteries; and paper goods.
Lions Club members from Toronto, Dover, New Philadelphia and Clayland worked from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. that day to unload items dropped off at a warehouse in Dover, according to Jim Coffey of the Toronto club, who said locally that Shell Lubricants of Newell donated many needed items.
The truck delivered the items to the Union Beach, N.J., area under the supervision of Craig Finnegan, district 16B governor.
Thanks to the generosity of the Lions clubs in District 13G, businesses and members of the communities, 16 skids of supplies valued at approximately $15,000 were collected, Coffee said.

Workhorse in training According to a report from Hearst Newspapers, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., soon will become a workhorse in the U.S. Senate. A Jan. 1 story by David McCumber indicated that with the 113th Congress underway, Sen. Blumenthal plans to get involved in the nitty-gritty of such issues as gun control, immigration, Internet security, consumer health, veterans' affairs, transportation and telecommunications. Regardless of how one feels about the senator's positions on these issues, Connecticut can only hope this report is accurate. Sen. Blumenthal is now Connecticut's senior senator and arguably the state's most influential advocate in Washington, D.C., but he isn't exactly a credible figure. Since being elected in 2010, Sen. Blumenthal has accomplished little of substance and failed to get his notorious (and embarrassing) publicity-hound urges under control. Additionally, he is best known nationally for lying about his Vietnam-era military service. Hopefully, a renewed focus on his duties as a legislator will give Sen. Blumenthal and by extension, Connecticut, some respect.

Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower
From EatingWell: January/February 2008
Roasting isn't usually the first cooking method you think of for cauliflower but the results are quite delicious. The florets are cut into thick slices and tossed with extra-virgin olive oil and herbs. Wherever the flat surfaces come into contact with the hot roasting pan, a deep browning occurs that results in a sweet, nutty flavor.
109 Reviews for Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower
This was so simple, and very tasty! My husband, who is not usually crazy about cauliflower, loved this!
Delicious and easy!
I made this last night and it was delicious! My husband is not a big balsamic fan either, but he went back for seconds.
My husband HATES cauliflower!! And now I have found this PERFECT recipe to incorporate this nutritious veggie into his diet! I am so happy, as I am trying very hard to introduce more healthy items into my families' diet. Actually, this recipe the entire family enjoyed, my son asked for seconds, though sadly we only had enough for 4. Not only was this my first balsamic vinegar recipe, but it was such an EASY side dish to make. I can easily see what used to be bland cauliflower find its way into our diet once a week now. I am sure to try the other cauliflower recipes mentioned alongside this one in the EatingWell February 2008 issue. I am so glad I found this magazine and website! I encourage even the pickiest eater to try this recipe out.

When Jeffrey Caston studied abroad in Scandinavia, he revered the host cultures he encountered in ways that helped shape his professional aspirations.
The CU-Boulder senior in geography studied for a semester in Uppsala, Sweden and a semester in Copenhagen, Denmark during the 2012-13 school year.
The experience solidified his interests in sustainable development, bicycle infrastructure and creative uses of public space.
"I think exploring Copenhagen was so meaningful for me because it was my first exposure to a bicycle city," said Caston. "About 38 percent of people there bike to work including the prince of Denmark."
While in Scandinavia, Caston studied everything from urban infrastructures to endangered lichen species.
Caston's carved out a wide variety of academic and outreach opportunities abroad and at CU-Boulder, many focusing on sustainability and social justice.
He sought out an opportunity with the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research to study deforestation caused by cattle ranching in the Amazon rainforest.
Caston was part of The Second Kitchen, a student founded co-op in Boulder that builds community around locally sourced and organic food.
He was involved with the CU Environmental Center in a project to place educational solar installations on campus. Currently Caston is a co-director of the Communikey Student Alliance, the student chapter of a Boulder organization that facilitates cultural experiences that emphasize the intersection of sound, design and technology in underrepresented artistic forms.
"What I admire about Jeffrey is that he's found so many different ways to get involved in his studies focusing on sustainability and make the most of his experiences," said Cindy Kraft, CU-Boulder assistant director of study abroad programs.
Caston is CU-Boulder's 2013 study abroad student of the year. The distinction is part of the Office of International Education's Global Citizen Awards, which are celebrated annually during International Education Week.
Caston says engagement is the key to his success. It's an act that comes naturally to him, and one that he recommends to other students.
"Do research outside of the classroom and attend events because you never know what might happen," said Caston. "That's how I met people, that's how I made connections, and engaging myself like that is probably what's going to get me a job after I graduate."
In his final academic year as an undergrad at CU-Boulder, Caston is collaborating on a project between creative partners in Denver and Copenhagen in effort to strengthen cultural, entrepreneurial and urban development strategies by working together. The project is slated to begin in January 2014.
After graduation, Caston hopes to land again in Copenhagen, but says regardless of where he ends up, he'll seek work that improves the quality of life in cities through bicycle urbanism and other concepts to enhance public spaces.

Even less decent programming on PBS?
Posted 10 September 2002 - 11:04 AM
This is from an opera list to which I subscribe. It is from the list owner of Opera_L, a person who does not make mistakes on subjects such as this.
I would think one could substitute "ballet" for "opera" and still be accurate.
The post is as follows:
I'm not sure about the future telecasts, but the word I heard was that money
was not as much of an issue as everyone thinks it is.
According to my source, the bigger issue is that PBS is less interested in
giving opera telecasts airtime. (Of course, money must figure as part of the
equation, but the source assured me it's not the sole issue.)
Posted 10 September 2002 - 11:27 AM
If I may give a personal anecdote from my travails of finding a publisher for my book, one editor of an excellent medium-sized press that did publish arts-related books, rejected the proposal with this a note saying kind things, and that the book should be published, "but it needs an editor who likes ballet, and that is not I." (My absolute favorite rejection letter said that the book was so good, the editor didn't want to deny an editor who was a ballet enthusiast the pleasure of working on it, and so regretfully passed on the proposal.) I don't think this is a unique experience.
I think a lot of the statements that one reads about how ballet or opera -- or modern dance -- have no relevant to "the people" are made by a few people -- I hate to call them "elites," but that's the position they hold -- to whom the high arts are not relevant.
If I were doing educational outreach programs, I'd add, to those (much needed) programs for underprivileged youth, some bootcamps for the privileged, the ones who will be donors and arts managers when they grow up!

Ballet (and even Opera) have a hard sell in getting people to watch something on a 20" screen (60 inch maximum) that is being done on a stage twice that size. Sets play an important "character" too.
I don't necessarily think it's the people that "elite" but perhaps the art form of ballet that is.

I always thought they were "commercial" more like a "board"
And should PBS be the "standard" for getting out the arts to the public? They make no mention of the arts specifically.
Let's say we could have a 24/hour ballet channel, would people watch it (after an extended period of time)

Actually I would like to have a total of four channels:
1) Ballet, 24/7
2) Opera, 24/7
3) Boxing, 24/7
4) News--for wars, revolutions, terrorist events, etc.
If so, I would probably watch a LOT more TV than I do now, which is just about none.
Posted 10 September 2002 - 02:17 PM
Originally posted by Alexandra But their "arts" programs are more and more aging rockers. It ain't art, and it ain't today's pop music. It's just popular programming aimed at the Baby Boomers. Growl.
I will stop posting (I hope) on this thread after this, because I am not really rational about either PBS or our local outlet here in Motown. They are both execrable.
I don't watch it for news--that's why God gave us the New York Times nor for entertainment. I will confess to not liking the music that Alexandra references when it was new, and still don't, so recycling it is makes no sense.
What really tore it for me was a was a show on a weekend evening (this was before four hour blocks of Antiques Roadshow ruled its airwaves) that had country music concerts---"Live from Austin" or something like that.
Country Music, programmed every week? Apparently there weren't enough commercial outlets for this dreck.
Posted 11 September 2002 - 04:36 AM
This is a great thought Ed, dance 24/7, thanks for this vision of the future. I hope it happens soon.
Posted 11 September 2002 - 12:28 PM
I think they are right to some extent, that public broadcasting has
become too oriented on the bottom line of ratings and sponsorships,
and therefore has lost some of its stature as the alternative that
presents what commercial media will not or cannot. Without the kind
of adequate and steady public support enjoyed by other public
broadcasters -- BBC, e.g. -- the margin for error on risk-taking is
very slim.
But those people who want a 24/7 ballet channel aren't seeking the
public interest, either. [Treefrog's note: Ed, I know you weren't advocating that PBS take on this role.] What people seem to want from TV is not the
famed 500-channel universe, but the 1-channel universe -- the "me"
channel: what I want, when I want it. Digital TV may get close to
that, offering a more Web-like model where you pull in what interests
you, and through the ability to "multiplex" channels -- PBS Arts, PBS
Kids, PBS Science, etc. Channels like Discovery already simulate that
with multiple cable channels -- Animal Planet, Discovery Health,
Learning Channel, etc.
PBS, now, is in the difficult position of having to be a generalist
channel in a niche-programming world. Why tune to PBS and hope for
arts when you can tune to Bravo or A&E; why tune to PBS for science,
when you can tune to Discovery; why tune to PBS for kids' programming,
when you can tune to Nick?
The answer is depth, quality and consistency, when PBS is doing it
right. "Dance in America," one strand of "Great Performances," has a
20+ year tradition of excellence; Ovation, the arts channel is still
struggling to get going after a decade of trying...it's in about 25
million homes, or a quarter of US households. Guess where the top
arts producers will go with their best ideas?
PBS only succeeds when everyone is happy some of the time, and unhappy
some of the time. Don't the country music fans have an equal claim on
air time? (By the way, the country program referred to, "Austin City
Limits," is no Shania-come-lately. It's been on PBS for well over 20
years...about as long as "Great Performances.")
I think the person was on track who asked how many people would watch
24/7 dance, after an initial fascination period. You'd have to
stretch the quality pretty thin to get that much programming.
Posted 11 September 2002 - 01:38 PM
I would also add that I appreciate the lack of commercials more than ever. For example, Monty Python's Flying Circus episodes appear regularly on my cable channel, BBC America but with lengthy breaks that chop up the continuity of the shows, which were originally broadcast on the BBC sans interruption and were shown that way over here when I first began watching them on PBS. They, and some other British shows originally seen on PBS, do show up on cable channels, but chopped up ruthlessly to make room for commercial time. I also noticed this when I was watching the Trocks on Bravo. Now, if only they would show the Trocks on PBS once in awhile .
However, not all of PBS' problems can be laid at this door. I am disturbed that the thinking of market-minded apparatchiks does seem to be taking over. I don't regard either "Antiques Roadshow" or "Austin City Limits" as examples of such thinking. But there's a difference between "something for everyone" and "our surveys show that people aren't interested in that."
I also think that "niche" programming, in television and elsewhere -- the "My News," "My This," "My That" syndrome -- is a potentially disastrous development. But, time will tell.
Posted 11 September 2002 - 02:31 PM
By the way, there is a French cable channel, Mezzo, which is devoted to classical music, jazz opera and dance. In fact there's far more music than ballet, but that's not too bad. I have no TV (and my parents don't get it), but if I had one I would perhaps consider subscribing.

There are opera singers, orchestra concerts, old film clips, in fact, just about anything that could qualify as something artistic (a documentary from the 1920's on the different architectural styles of apartment houses in Los Angeles now probably all gone, alas). These are only shown in 5-10 minute intervals with a nice short biography at the beginning and end of the segment. Unfortunately, the station alternates with DW TV and sometimes unexpectedly something like the Australian Ballet's Snowflakes will be cut off to start the "news of the hour" for Germany (in English).
There was a good point brought up about PBS having lost its way. After all, it was their mission for many years to produce Opera, Dance in America, etc., and hope to draw people in, not grasping for ratings so they can get bigger advertising bucks. In the meantime the other channels were created to grab as many of the higher rated shows as possible, such as Discovery, History, A&E. I'm hoping PBS will return to their "bread & butter" products.

Pumpkin Creme Brulee....a perfect finish to a holiday dinner!
8 servings
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar, plus 4 teaspoons
8 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup pumpkin (canned, pure)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.Arrange 8 (1/2 cup) ramekins in a large metal baking pan. In a medium saucepan, combine the cream, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Bring to a bare simmer over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks until frothy and lemon-colored. Slowly add 3/4 cup of the hot cream mixture, whisking constantly. Add the egg mixture to the remaining hot cream, and whisk. Add the vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin, and whisk until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl. Divide among the prepared custard cups.
Add enough water to come halfway up the sides of the cups. Bake until the custards are just set in the center but not stiff, 45 minutes to 55 minutes. Remove from the oven and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 3 hours and up to 2 days.
Sprinkle each custard with 1/2 teaspoon of the remaining sugar. Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar. ( Can place under oven broiler but watch it very closely...it burns fast) Place on small dessert place with a dollop of whipped cream.

Bottom-up approaches start analyzing a text by first determining the original intent of the human author of a text. From there, they use inductive reasoning to construct theories of broader meanings. Top-down approaches begin with a greater truth and deduce the meaning of the text from first principles. In general, can the intent of the human author be ignored by deductive interpretations?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The simple answer is to the extent that the person making the deductions care about the original author's intent.
Let's use a legal document like a contract as a start. This is less complex as it is a human document, but it still can furnish us with a basic process of understanding an author's intent. First one must start with deduction. We must always start with deduction then use induction and deduction in combination repeatedly. We deduce it is written in English because we find English letters. Then we deduce what each word means based on a strict bias of the alphabet and dictionary. Then we use our assumptions about what we consider to be acceptable grammar to determine individual sentences. We also assume that the legal document has an overall purpose and is trying to meet established legal customs of its subject and aim.
Now we start inductive reasoning. We read the sentences and try to compile main ideas that together explain the entire document and shed light to each word chosen.
After we have reached our limits of understanding we isolate portions that do not seem to fit our conclusion and switch back to deductive reasoning. Based on our preliminary understanding we make various deductions hoping to align with the difficult statements we have not yet found a place for in the puzzle. We repeat this top-down, bottom-up, top-down iteration until we think we finally understand the original intent of the author.
With the Bible, the author is God through men, so we have authors and must use every portion of scripture to help us understand the meaning of any given text. Furthermore as human reason can't understand either author's intent without illumination of the Holy Spirit, prayer and faith must govern both our inductions and deductions if we hope to arrive at any understanding.
In the end, how much we respect the original human author's intent, I think is one of several measurements that tell us how much we understand anything about the text. The same can be said about prayer, if we ignore prayer in our search for knowledge we probably don't understand either the human author or the divine author's intent. However in either case both earnest deduction and inductions are inseparably required. Both objective critical scholastic study and true dogmatic pressures derived from previous inductions upon the text are required.
Can a person totally ignore large portions of a text by overly forcing their dogma onto it? Of course, this is what every person without faith and prayer does consistently well. Several biblical scholars seem to do nothing but enforce their unbelief on scriptures not knowing that they are filled with the faith of the original author.
No method can be purely inductive. Even the historical-grammatical method begins with the a priori assumption that the author's intent matters. In addition, anyone who devotes their time to understanding a text makes an implicit assumption that the text has a timeless meaning. The meaning assigned by the reader must be tethered to the author's meaning or why bother reading the text at all?
Under a Christological hermeneutic, there are meanings beyond what the author intends to be sure. Stories about Abraham, Isaac, and Israel give us insight into the character of Jesus. Often the human author has no idea of the weight of their words. (See John 11:51.) But the deeper meaning augments and does not contradict the proximate meaning. Good allegory follows rules and respects the author.

Fast forward quite a few years, and now I like this on Mahi Mahi, which is the fish shown in these photos. Do I dare say that this is a good marinade if you're cooking for people who are suspicious about fish? It's true that the flavors of the marinade make grilled fish a bit less "fishy" so if that's something that appeals to you, this may become your favorite way to cook fish on the grill.
(Makes enough marinade for 4-6 pieces of fish; this marinade is good for Soy Grilled Shark, Halibut, Mahi-Mahi, Swordfish or other types of mild white fish.)
4-6 pieces of fish, thawed if frozen
Marinade Ingredients:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup peanut oil or other oil of your choice
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp. Liquid Smoke (measure carefully and don't use more)
1 tsp. Johnny's Seafood Seasoning or Bon Appetit
(You could substitute any seasoning that's good on fish.)
1/2 - 1 tsp. coarse ground black pepper
1 T onion powder (or 2 T grated fresh onion)
1 T garlic puree or garlic powder
Then rotate fish going at the opposite angle to make the criss-cross marks and cook about 2-3 more minutes. When you have nice grill marks, turn the fish carefully and cook 4-5 minutes on the other side. Total cooking time for fish is about 10 minutes per inch of thickness and fish should feel firm but not hard to the touch when it's done.
(The Liquid Smoke used in this recipe is VERY potent, so don't be tempted to increase the amount. If you use too much it will ruin whatever you are putting it in, but in small amounts, it adds a nice smoky flavor for barbecue sauce or grilled meats.)

If electromagnetic radiation represents a transfer of energy, then does a permanent magnet represent unlimited energy, and if so, why can't magnets be used for perpetual motion? Even if permanent magnets aren't permanent and rather just have a really long usable lifetime, don't they at least represent a large resource of energy?
A (non-accelerated) permanent magnet doesn't produce electromagnetic radiation. It is surrounded by a magnetic field (just like a charge is surrounded by an electric field), but it does not radiate. Especially there's no energy leaving the magnet.
Note that for energy flow (as in radiation) you need both an electric and magnetic field, because only then you'll get a non-vanishing Pointing vector $\vec S=\vec E\times\vec B$. However note that even if you have energy flow, you don't necessarily have radiation (e.g. if you have a constantly moving charge, the field energy is flowing with the charge, but it doesn't radiate).
An object has potential energy if it has the capacity to do work. Work is done if an object is moved by a force in the direction of the said force. A permanent magnet can via it's force fields move a ferromagnetic material. Energy is said to be transfered whenever work is done. Permanent magnets emit force fields which are identical to the force fields that are emited from electromagnets. Permanent magnets can do work on an object that can be measured (force X distance).
