The taste of this was very good, but the amount of stock was a bit too much for my liking. If you are looking for soup, this is a great recipe, but for a curry I really found it to be too runny. Next time I'll skip the stock and only use coconut milk. Thanks for sharing!<br/>Made for Bargain Basement May 2013

OTTAWA (AP) - Canadian Twitter users are defying an official ban on posting federal election results before all the polls close, running the risk of hefty fines if the government enforces the law.
The 73-year-old Elections Act bans reporting early results in order to prevent voters in the East from influencing choices in the West.
But even before polling stations closed in western Canada, results from eastern provinces were leaking out on Twitter.
The tweets - many of which carried the hashtag "tweettheresults" - were visible to everyone, regardless of whether or not they were on Twitter themselves.

Before she sits in on The Today Show this week, parenting expert Dr. Michele Borba joined us this morning with advice for parents on how to help your kids transition from Summer to School ...
1. Listen to your child's school worries. Identify your child back-to-school worries and create simple solutions to reduce those you can. Most typical back to school worries involve these issues: "Will I be safe (and not get lost or get on the wrong bus)?" "Will I fit in (and be accepted by the other kids and find friends)?" "Will I be capable (and able to do the work)?" "Will the teacher be nice (and not yell or be too hard)?" "Will Mommy come back?"
· Learn the lay of the land. Boosting your child's comfort zone about a new location helps reduce jitters. Take a tour of the school, check it out online or even print out a map and schedule
· Don't over-hype the school! "What a gorgeous campus!" or "You're going to be soooooo happy here!" type of comments don't ease jitters. In fact, they can backfire and cause more anxiety. So don't build up false expectations so much as to disappoint your child if things fall short of your build-up. Keep your excitement to yourself.
3. Find a buddy. Knowing just one classmate can minimize first day jitters so help your kid learn the name of at least one peer. The two kids don't have to become soul mates –just acquaintances!
4. Prepare for separation. Rehearsing a goodbye can help a younger or more sensitive child feel more secure when the big moment really comes. Doing so also helps reduce anxiety so the child knows what to expect. Ease the back to school fears by slowly stretching your child's "security" levels. Slowly increase the number of caregivers to second circle (teacher, friends) and finally outer circle (strangers). Gradually stretch separation times. Find people your child trusts—a babysitter, relative, or friends to be watch your child. Then "come and go" to help your child build confidence, recognize he can survive without you and you do come back.
5. Create a special goodbye. Practice a special private "goodbye" just between the two of you like a secret handshake or special kiss to help your child start to pull away. Then tell him you'll be using that same goodbye each time you drop him off. Here are a few ways to make goodbyes smoother and less stressful for both of you.
6. Teach coping skills. Studies at the University of Minnesota found that when kids feel they have some control over what's happening, anxieties decrease and smooth the transition. Here are worry reducers to practice with your child.
· Teach: "Talk back to the worry." Researchers at the University of McGuill found that teaching a child to "talk to back to the fear" helps reduce anxiety. The child so she feels she is in charge of the worry and not the other way around. The trick is to have your child practice telling herself she'll be okay to build up confidence. For a younger child: "Go away worry, leave me alone. Mommy will come back." For an older child: "I won't let the worry get me. I can handle this."
· Point him to "The first thing." Not knowing what to do or where to go upon arriving at a new scene increases anxiety. So offer "first thing" suggestions. For a young child: Pointing her towards an activity she enjoys—like a puzzle or blocks. For an older child: Suggest he go to the basketball court that he enjoys or meet up with that acquaintance he met at the park near the water fountain.
7. Say goodbye and don't linger. A kid's anxiety increases if you make too big of a deal about leaving or draw out the goodbye. The key is to establish a consistent pattern of goodbye so your child knows what ritual to expect, realizes she can make it through the time apart and that you really will return.
Be patient but know when to worry. Adjustment may take from a day to several weeks, so be patient. For most kids separation anxieties are normal and pass. The key is to watch for a gradual increase in confidence and a diminishment of school and separation worries. If the anxiety continue or increase, check in with the teacher or counselor to see if they have suggestions to help your child adjust.
Many of you continue to ask about "baby Bowen" - the little boy Matt & Sarah Hammit (Matt is the lead singer of Sanctus Real) are expecting in about 6 weeks. Bowen has been diagnosed with a serious heart defect known as Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Bowen will need to have several heart surgeries the first couple years of his life, including one within the first five days. Continue to pray for Matt, Sarah and their entire family. In the midst of all the uncertainty and this difficult time, the Hammitt's are seeing God at work every day and are thankful for all of your support and prayers.
You can reach out to the family and follow their journey, by checking out a special blog Matt & Sarah have set up (here)

Gear It to GoWritten by Jeff Smith on September 13, 2005 Contributors: Mark Takahashi Installing Gears and a Limited Slip in a Ford 8.8
All those powerslides and autocrossing escapades finally took their toll on Mark Takahashi's '97 Mustang Cobra. Mark likes to drive exuberantly, and it didn't help the bone-stock 8.8-inch rear when he bolted on the entire Hotchkis chassis catalog for his SN-95 Mustang. While the Ford 8.8-inch rear axle assembly is plenty durable, Mark managed to chew enough of the spider and side gears that the chips ended up in between the ring and pinion and caused even more carnage. Ultimately, it was time for not only a new set of gears but a new limited slip as well.
He called the guys at Reider Racing in Taylor, Michigan, with a request for a set of 3.73 gears. They recommended a set of cogs from Precision Gear, along with a Zexel Torsen T-2 gear-style limited-slip unit to replace the stock unit. The advantage to the Torsen is that it not only automatically biases torque to the wheel that can apply the most power, but it does so absolutely seamlessly and is constantly adjusting this torque bias depending upon traction at each rear wheel. Plus, the gear-style unit will last virtually the life of the vehicle, something that clutch- and cone-type limited slips have difficulty achieving. Mark took his ailing Mustang to our pal Dave Blankenship who owns Pro Tech in Van Nuys, California. Dave did the swap in an afternoon. Once the conversion was complete, the hardest part for Mark was keeping his foot out of it for about 500 miles while he carefully broke in the new gears and the Torsen limited slip. He has reported that the car is much more stable in the corners now because he can plant all the power coming off the corners. We're already laying bets on how long the clutch will last now that the rearend is new! CC

Reider Racing supplied not only the Precision Gear 3.73 ring-and-pinion for the 8.8, but also a Master Overhaul Kit consisting of all new bearings, seals, a new pinion nut, shims, and setup paint. Reider also now offers setup bearings that slide over the pinion so you don't have press to the bearing on and off if you miss the initial pinion depth setting.This is the Zexel Torsen differential. It's difficult to see the internal worm gears, but they automatically operate to create a torque bias in the direction of the tire with the most traction. The other selling point is this unit's durability.This tight view of the stock differential shows how the side and pinion gears just chewed themselves to death.Blankenship reused the stock pinion shim to set up the new gears. Generally, this works pretty well. Because he thought it would work, he didn't test the pinion depth using the setup bearings.The shim that establishes pinion depth fits between the pinion gear and the pressed-on pinion bearing (arrow). The setup bearings allow you to check this depth without hassling with pressing the bearing on and off.The best way to press the pinion bearing on the shaft is with a large pipe and a hydraulic press. Don't hammer the bearing in place.New bearings also require new races. The best way to install the new races is to use a brass drift punch that won't damage the race. For the front pinion bearing, you can also use the old race to help drive in the new one.With the new pinion bearing in place, don't forget the crush sleeve (arrow). This maintains a given amount of preload on the two pinion bearings to prevent the gear from moving in and out of the ring gear.
To make sure everything fit before bolting it back into the housing, Blankenship test-fit the new axles, C-clips, and center pillow block to ensure there was room for everything.It required several attempts to create the proper backlash established by adjusting the right and left shim packs.You can try to re-use the factory carrier shims, but these are cast pieces that generally break when you hammer them in place. The best solution is to use Reider Racing's adjustable side shim system (part of the Master install kit) that uses a modular shim case adjustable in thickness down to 0.001 inch and installs as one piece rather than a shim stack.Blankenship eventually achieved a backlash of 0.009 inch while the spec was between 0.008 and 0.010 inch--perfect.Even when both the pinion depth and backlash are set up the way the book says, ultimately the gear pattern is all that matters. Here you can see the pinion is too deep into the ring gear. This means the pinion had to come out again for a 0.010-inch-thinner pinion shim that moved the pinion out toward the middle of the ring gear.The last step was new axle bearings and seals, and sliding the axles in place and setting the C-clip. Then Blankenship added the cross-pin block, cross-pin, and the small bolt to secure the pin. He bolted on the rear cover, filled the rear with petroleum-based lube for the break-in period, and let Takahashi drive it home with a deeper gear and a much tighter limited slip. Takahashi reports that life is now good. CC

First of all, thanks a lot for this awesome plugin.
I am trying to make a custom page, meaning a page that I have wrote it myself. I am able to include my wordpress into it, such that I have access to content, etc.
Well, I am trying to put all that is created by thi plug-in when you type the short code in the post somewhere in my custom page. I have tried "echo do_shortcode('[frontier-post]'); " but it gives fatal error.
Is there a way to do this?
Thank you a lot in advance.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
A Look At Joseph & Belfour
by Paul on 09/12/07 at 08:05 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,
Funny how their careers have been intertwined, Joseph and Belfour. Two people, two goalies, who couldn't have been more different in both style and substance.
One was technical, the other athletic. One was grumpy, the other friendly. One was a workout freak, the other, not so much.
And neither was considered a prospect when they were young. Both went undrafted more than once. Both spent one year playing U.S. college hockey. Both went from college to the now defunct International Hockey League. Both arrived as backups in the NHL.
Both have earned more than $50 million in what for Belfour is a certain Hall of Fame career and for Joseph one that is certainly worthy of consideration.

Thank you for your plugin, out of the 15 or so I tried this was the only one that fitted the bill.
One question though, on the page displaying the comments currently you can see all replies or click on tabs to see just replies for a particular type of comment. I just want the "all replies" panel and want to remove the other options. I can go into the code and change it, or maybe just achieve it by amending the CSS, but I was wondering if you have a suggested method of achieving this. Also I am worried about amending the code and then overwriting it with an update. Maybe CSS is the best way?
thanks, Jake

When the smoke finally clears, I see this as a catalyst and a wake up call to more gun rights. I think that people who have been on the fence or just over it have seen something here that they hadn't yet understood. I think the big key in this whole mess is the fact that the PD were ALREADY on scene and 30 people STILL got killed by this guy. The images of theses people barring the doors with tables to keep him out have already gotten the general public thinking. They are thining "FIGHT BACK!". I see a shifting in the paradigm coming soon.
I 100% disagree with the entire philosophy of changing the background check. This kid went to an institution voluntarily. He was not forced to go nor was he committed in lieu of his own free will. Reagrdless of his past, his attitude, his philosophy, his writing, what have you, he was perfectly within the law to buy and own a firearm. That's already been gone over. I've heard the complaints already from people that he should not have had access to a gun because of his "mental problems". I've heard all the complaints and issues regarding why this kid was never "taken care of". There is a very simple fact that a lot of people don't seem to understand.....
This kid was a freakin nut! Plain and simple. He did things and thought things that no normal human being would probably even consider. But he never broke the law! Being a nutcase is not against the law. People had made complaints and the PD checked them out. There was nothing they could have done or should have done because he didnt break the law. The background check came up clean because there was nothing there to find. It worked the way it was designed to work.
Please do not start going down this road. It's a place you do not want to go!

Toward Perpetuity: Global Solar Is Skyrocketing, Will Soon Be Net Positive Energy Source
Say you wanted to build an industry from the ground up. On a macro level, the research, development, manufacturing, sourcing, distribution, and fueling would require a lot of energy. This is particularly true for energy industries. But the great thing about renewable energy is that it generally requires no fuel and starts to pay for itself as it scales.
Solar photovoltaic production consumed more energy than it produced while it was getting started. The whole industrial process has taken more energy to create than solar PV has produced — and created more greenhouse gases than it prevented — since 2000. However, a study from Stanford University found that in recent years, all the electricity produced by solar panels in the world has become greater than the energy required to produce it. Due to the amazing growth of the industry, it will generate enough energy by 2015 or 2020 to have "paid back" the energy debt accumulated while the industry got on its feet.
The energy cost to produce and install solar has been shrinking, and can be expected to continue doing so. The more the industrial process gets refined, the more the industry will grow.
As investment and technological development have risen sharply with the number of installed panels, the energetic costs of new PV modules have declined. Thinner silicon wafers are now used to make solar cells, less highly refined materials are now used as the silicon feedstock, and less of the costly material is lost in the manufacturing process. Increasingly, the efficiency of solar cells using thin film technologies that rely on earth-abundant materials such as copper, zinc, tin and carbon have the potential for even greater improvements.
In fact, just today First Solar announced it set a world record for a cadmium-telluride module conversion efficiency of 16.1 percent. This comes 6 weeks after the company broke the previous record for cadmium-telluride cell efficiency of 17.3 percent by 1.5 percent to 18.3 percent. In English, this means that thin-film solar panels, which are much cheaper to produce, are getting more and more efficient.
Looking further down the road, 10 percent of global electricity will come from solar PV by 2020. At today's rates, it would take 9 percent of the world's energy generation to produce solar PV, yet with the current rate of efficiency improvement, that would shrink to 2 percent. The energy deficit gap will widen even more if solar is installed in high-capacity areas like the American Southwest instead of Northern Europe. More than 40 percent of total U.S. solar capacity came online last year. The growth, nationally and globally, has been exponential:
- Australia has reached 1 million solar rooftop installations on homes and businesses.
- 9.8 gigawatts of solar energy projects have been announced in Latin America and the Caribbean as of this month, with the most promising projects located in Chile, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico.
- Austria more than doubled its capacity last year.
- Last month, Peru inaugurated two new solar plants comprising nearly 100 MW of capacity.
- A 400 MW solar installation on a remote Japanese island received approval and will begin construction soon.
- In India and Italy, solar power has reached grid parity.
- The Middle East and North Africa should reach 1 GW of demand this year, a six-fold increase.
- The UK has seen a record-breaking start to 2013 in solar production.
- In 2013, energy generated from solar power will be the second-largest source added to the U.S. electric grid.
- Lancaster, CA aims to be the first solar energy exporting city in the world, largely at the behest of its Republican mayor. (He recently said "Is global warming indeed a threat? Absolutely. I may be a Republican. I'm not an idiot.")
- 34 MW of the 200 MW AZ Sun program will be constructed in Gila Bend, outside of Phoenix this year.
Within the next few years, solar energy will be a total net positive. And the fuel is free. Eventually solar power will contribute larger and larger portions of its power to the grid, so the factories that create and the labs that improve solar panel technology will be powered by the very same energy source it harnesses. That is as close to a perpetual motion machine as we are likely to get.

On a fundamental level going net positive mimics the profound nature of life itself as a breeding entity advancing its supporting environment — perhaps, in complex synergies — while advancing itself.
It won't be realistic putting a dollar value on this country when we start working on climate change at wartime speed.
What we will be doing will be worth way too much to value it in dollars.
while solar is encouraging, it gives the impression that we will have energy to continue our wheeled lifestyle into infinity–as if this is our main problem
it isnt
humanity has pulled off a neat trick
we found a way of transforming fuel into food, and because of that we bred our numbers way past any level at which they can be supported.
now we encouraged to think of 'solar energy' as the same as other forms of energy, which is not so.
Oil has become our foodsource
the problem with electricity is that you can't eat it.
Cadmium-telluride? Haha. Speak of clean technology. I don't want such potential toxic waste on my roof. Sometimes roofs burn. So the stuff is not only a toxic waste disposal problem.
Ouch! But, remember, toxic sludge is good for you, and for business.
You can eat sunshine directly though, I plant the little fellas out every spring. I am not trying to minimize the problem of having too many people but ALL is not lost yet, ME
Funny article. No mention of China. I wonder why not.
New Jersey, a relatively small state, has a gigawatt of installed PV and an additional 0.7 gigawatt approved for this year. 60 to 70 percent growth a year.
Can you guys quantify how many people is too many people?nwhat is the range within which you think we should try and keep our population, given a world which derives its energy primarily from renewable sources, and not fossil fuels?
I read the other day that China has increased its 5 year plan target from 21GW solar to 35GW.
I occasionally wonder when electric cars will have their own solar panels on the roof and bonnet.
pre industrial revolution, the world population derived its sustenance entirely from renewable resources.
At that point the population was about 1 billion
non- renewable resources allowed that number to jump to 7 billion
when we've burned all our non renewables, oil coal and gas, the world will support around 1 billion again
and no—technology will not solve the problem. technology only works by energy input, not the other way around.
And likely to increase it further. With wind going gang-busters. Just how do the dreadful ChiComms do it? If you were to believe MSM in this country, and throughout the West, the country is a polluted cess-pit run by aggressive idiots, with the population champing at the bit for some good, old, Western 'freedom'. The nadir, so far, was our ghastly PM Gillard, instructing the Chinese to 'open up their financial markets', which as we know from the GFC and the record of the last few decades, is a sure recipe for success and prosperity, fairly shared by all. The Chinese were suitably inscrutable and non-committal in public. Behind the scenes I'd imagine that stupefaction at her presumption mixed with raucous laughter was the order of the day.
It looks to me as if there are a lot of 'ifs' in this study. How much farther is it physically or mathematically possible to increase efficiency, for example? Presumably, increases in efficiency can't grow exponentially for very long–not past something well short of 100%, presumably.
So how much would solar have to grow to reach 10% of world energy generation by 2020? What is the percentage now?
Hard to say, since this figure was not included. Is it 1%? .1%? .01%? Less? Do we need to see doubling of capacity every single year till then? More? Less? Is anything near that likely or feasible, especially given the relatively rare elements needed for these high efficiency films? (Wiki informs me, "With an abundance in the Earth's crust comparable to that of platinum, tellurium is one of the rarest stable solid elements in the Earth's crust.")
I am enthusiastic about solar, and am glad to see it growing. But it would be more informative and less propaganda-ish to state some of these facts more clearly and bluntly.
Another thing it would be nice to know is if there is any evidence that alternatives have actually been replacing ffs as an energy source globally, or just supplementing them, and making them cheaper. It doesn't help to have all the renewables in the world, if we keep on burning ever-more ffs.
Wouldn't it make some sense to put at least as much emphasis on cutting energy demand as on increasing supply (from whatever source)?
I experienced so delay in this getting posted, so meanwhile I searched around and found this rather optimistic looking graph, presumably projections from 2005 (please note that the left-hand scale is logarithmic, so straight lines are actually steep exponential upward curves):
Elsewhere on wiki sights I found that, at the end of 2012, global installed wind capacity was 300 GW, solar 100 GW.
By that measure, we seem to be ahead of even the optimistic line, which if extended would mean that solar would reach 10% of total capacity by 2015!!
But the heading says: "The numbers shown are not installed capacity, but average output, i.e. TWh/year or GWh/year divided by 8760 hrs/year."
So I'm back to guessing what solar and wind's real percentage of total capacity is right now, and what kind of trajectory it is on. Any cited info anyone has on this would be most welcome.
Really? Why is energy that is obtained directly from the sun through wind/solar, not a replacement for fossil fuels?
Also your assertion that technology only works on the input side is demonstrably wrong.
A single iPhone means that things which required many devices and services earlier, can be accomplished by this one tiny device (regular mail replaced by email, no need to buy a garmin for my car, no need to buy a separate iPod, no need to buy an ebook reader, no need to buy a Nintendo game boy). How is that no reducing the output side?
Thank you for the article. How will solar displace the need for liquid fossil fuels? It is fair to say the solar will continue to develop into a net gain energy source – but oil and its derived products have great advantages in that they are transportable and we have a tremendous infrastructure associated with their use. Society is highly exposed to declines in the availability of liquid fossil fuels and it would be very beneficial to reduce that dependency. Also, in view of physics how does the energy derived from solar compare to that from, for example, a low sulfur oil product? From knowing that we can (hopefully) plan a restructuring of our physical infrastructure given the limits of solar and wind energy generation.
Popularity of solar for investors seems to vary a lot by state. I have some money via Solar Mosaic for a not yet fully funded New Jersey project. Waiting for more projects to spread the risk… They opened a California project and I foolishly waited till I got home, by which time it was fully funded.
At least the CdTe has gone into utility scale ground mounts. I don't think any is on roofs.
you ignore the fact that an iphone needs raw materials, metals and plastics, they can only be produced by energy input, primarily heat. Yes we can reduce size and increase complexity, but manufacture is still governed by the same laws…..Heat input–technology output. you can't get heat from 'technology'. (google laws of thermodynamics)
I doubt if there's a single artifact that we use in our day to day living that does not have heat (energy) input in its manufacture somewhere down the line, no matter how complex its ultimate 'technology' output
As to solar energy, when it is applied to crops we grow and eat—or feed to animals, we are harvesting the sun's energy indirectly to get our daily intake of calories as food. this powers our bodies.
Mankind has used oil and gas (which is fossilised sunlight) and converted it into fertiliser. this boosted the land output in such a way that it fed more people than it would have without fertiliser. Hence world population is now 7 billion
Converting sunlight into electricity is not the same thing, and will not provide the feedstock or tractor fuel and transport for our food supply needs.
as I said—you can't eat electricity
You can't imagine an electric fleet?
I see electric cars and semi-trucks powered by inductive coils buried in the roads themselves. I see mag-lev trains powered by electricity, traditional trains powered by electric third rails or overhead lines. I see boats and airplanes powered by net carbon-neutral biofuels.
Don't limit your imagination by current paradigms.
We have not even begun to deploy renewable energy on a scale and at a pace that will allow us to survive as a modern civilization. And we have precious few years remaining to us to accomplish these goals.
I feel this is because we continue to foolishly insist that the development of renewable energy resources should be market-driven, ie, profitable in a fossil fuel economy. But this idea is inherently flawed, because fossil fuels are priced without any regard for their true cost to society. That cost, according to articles posted here repeatedly, is estimated to be $1240 trillion dollars by year 2100.
In order to deploy enough renewable infrastructure, and do it quickly enough, I feel strongly that we need to ditch the free market approach, and base our energy future on large-scale Federal projects. We need the resources of our government to produce, essentially, a new National renewable energy utility company, which will be tasked with replacing every drop of fossil fuels with low-cost green electricity.
" How will solar displace the need for liquid fossil fuels? "
A single large-scale solar PV project, sited in the open spaces of the American Southwest where the sunshine is optimal, could generate enough electricity to replace every single calorie of fossil fuels consumed by our country. All of it.
It would require about 460 billion standard PV panels, which currently have a wholesale cost of about one dollar each. In twenty years, that cost will likely be substantially less.
Exxon Mobil alone is making $45 billion dollars a year in pure profit, so I think you can see that we could easily spend just what we spend on gasoline for our cars and finance our renewable energy future without much effort at all.
Large-scale projects are by far the least expensive way to generate renewables, and that same economy of scale means that they can be erected quickly.
Roger Lambart
I can "see" myself levitating the Mars
but it aint going to happen
All your visions centre around continuation of a wheeled lifestyle.
Whatever the weight of an object, its movement is governed by the laws of physics—ie you have to put a certain amount of energy in to get movement out.
your imagination sees movement on wheels which theoretically can be electric driven, but you still havent addressed the problem of converting electricity into food
Empty food trucks moving around still wont deliver any food to supermarkets
Im afraid it's wish science.
governments don't have any resources–they only have taxpayers money
taxpayers money is entirely the product of the energy throughput of the society in which they live—ie, taxes on the production and sale of commodities
as all commodities ultimately rely on energy surplus (we extract 'stuff' out of the ground and turn it into more 'stuff' we can buy and sell) then anything funded by taxpayers money must ultimately be dependent on raw energy itself.
Which in the case of our established infrastructure, means oil coal and gas
When they were cheap, our system worked. Now they are expensive, our society is falling apart.
we are scrambling around to find 'alternatives' to keep things moving, insisting the the government spends money to do it.
We ignore the source of that money
A "wheeled lifestyle"??
You think we need to give up wheels to grow food? What are you talking about?
Btw, we don't need oil to make food – the sun has been giving all the energy that green plants need to make our food, and has been doing it for billions of years.
I'm afraid you are making no sense to me. Could you explain yourself with different words?
Taxpayer money is all we need to buy, install, and deploy renewable energy infrastructure.
We don't need fossil fuels, nor can we afford to burn fossil fuels, in order to have a safe, productive and happy future.
This fetish of yours for interpreting everything as a closed energy system is getting annoying.
A 'productive' future?
producing what exactly?
Wherever you are sitting—look around you.
there won't be a single object that does not have embedded within it a proportion of oil coal or gas
Get rid of fossil fuel, and you will find yourself sitting naked on bare earth, starving to death.
but to press on to the food problem
yes the sun has created our biosphere over several billion years, but the earth functioned as a closed energy loop system
ie–whatever fell over and died provided an energy source for something else–remember that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form
Something has to die in order for you to live. You absorb the energy from another life form to prolong your own energy output. You are part of the loop whether you like it or not
During all those millennia, not all of that biomass was consumed
vast amounts of it became fossilised, ready for mankind to dig up and burn later, either in machines (our wheels), or to boost our food supplies and breeding chances
But it was still sun-energy, and that's what's heating up the planet right now
What took 200m years to lay down, we have released in 200 years to give us our wheeled lifestyle, a colossal food supply, and a seemingly unlimited amount of money
except that the money was merely a token of the energy-output system. without it, money is only coloured bits of paper
You may have heard of the alternative, it's called a cornucopia. If you can tell me where to find one, . it would make me very happy
Making streets safe completely safe will cause a profound reduction in emissions.
Making transport and transit vehicles small and light enough to be easily powered by human would have a terrific impact on emissions with minimum build out emissions as well.
Spot on Roger. The false assumptions that the Earth is a closed system, and consists of closed systems, leads to some very strange and misleading conclusions, ME
Endofmore, that 1B figure is extremely rubbery, e.g. the Black Death, only 400 years before, knocked off about 33%, and estimates from the non-European world are even more doubtful, ME
1 billion (give or take) is the generally accepted figure for world population around 1800
Why would you do that? It's a terrible waste of a valuable resource. Would you want your own coal-fired power plant? Or would it be better to share the resource with oh, say, an electrical grid-type thingy?
Bill asks "how will solar displace the need for liquid fossil fuels?"
Fossil fuels are easily replaced by renewable liquid fuels. There is really only 10% of the economy that benefits from the superior gravimetric energy density of liquid fuels.
Liquid fuels can all be either synthesized or grown as biofuels. The US Navy is already doing it with jet fuel.
The key is the carbon cycle. What we emit into the atmosphere must be taken back out, and that includes CO2. Now you can burn fossil carbon, but you must extract the same amount of C02 from the atmosphere afterward.
But most of the world economy will run just fine, probably better, on grid provided electricity. Which includes micro-grids… ;)
As an ex-pat in Germany- I am watching new developments push the efficiency of standard silicon – from about 18% to over 45%, while the price per produced square meter of panel is dropping thanks to "heat recapture" technology. Solar will "nergy amortize" in under 4 years.

Thanks sven! As usual, you were a great help!

Here is a sample. I applied setFrame(true) on FormPanels so that their size will be clear to see.
Thanks for your help, sven.

Now that the rainy season has arrived, it is an ideal time to perform lawn establishment and renovation. Due to the cold winter and springtime drought many lawns have dead or damaged spots in them that are in need of repair.
There are two ways to establish a lawn; either by seeding or vegetatively by sodding, plugging or sprigging. A lot of water is needed to get a lawn started and that is why now is a good time to plant. Natural rainfall is an aid to starting the lawn.
Seeding is the least expensive way to start a lawn. Bahiagrass and centipede are the two lawns that can be seeded here. The seed of most varieties of St. Augustine grass is sterile and so it usually is established by sodding, plugging or sprigging.
The secret to seeding a lawn is that once the seed is planted it must be watered every day until the seed has germinated and rooted. Most people who have failed at seeding a lawn did not apply enough water to keep the young seedlings alive until they reached a size at which they could sustain themselves.
If you sod a lawn it will benefit from daily watering until roots penetrate into the soil. This usually takes about two weeks. Areas that are plugged or sprigged will dry out faster than sodded areas because the pieces are smaller and are not butted up against each other. Water is critical to have success at plugging or sprigging. Sprigging is where a runner of St. Augustine grass, which has a few roots, is planted and once established it will grow to gradually fill an area.
To establish an area, you can simply kill any existing weeds with a nonselective herbicide such as Round Up or Finale. Sod can be planted over the treated weeds after 24 hours. Ripping out the existing vegetation is not necessary. Make sure that the grade of the area is acceptable and if not, correct any depressions or low spots by applying fill dirt.
The warm, rainy season is an ideal time to plant lawns. Utilizing afternoon rains to water lawn seed or sod will save energy and place less demand on your well and irrigation system.

The Story of Ernestine
- Author: Marie Riccoboni
- Translators: Joan Hinde Stewart, Philip Stewart
- Pages: xxxiv & 80 pp.
- Published: 1998
- ISBN: 9780873527866 (Paperback)
Set in prerevolutionary France, The Story of Ernestine tells of the love between an innocent young woman and an aristocrat. Ernestine, German-born and orphaned, is an apprentice painter putting the finishing touches on a portrait when the marquis de Clémengis, elegant and handsome, enters the studio. Recognizing him as the subject of the portrait, she gestures for him to be seated and goes on working, looking back and forth between him and his likeness. The world-weary aristocrat is smitten.
In graceful, understated prose, Marie Riccoboni shows how her heroine learns to negotiate questions of honor and appearances and to find a precarious balance between economic security and the potentially compromising nature of male generosity. The story raises questions about sexual enlightenment and social prejudice and reexamines the links of money, reputation, and marriageability that preoccupied eighteenth-century writers.
Marie Riccoboni (1713–92) was an actress and a writer who published more than twenty works. Appearing in 1765, The Story of Ernestine was a critical and popular success. Riccoboni was among the first women to support themselves through their writing.

Siwy Jeans
January Jones in Siwy Ladonna Skinny Jeans in Beach Bum
January Jones and her son were photographed while leaving a doctor's appointment in Los Angeles. She wore a pair of Siwy Ladonna skinny jeans in Beach Bum with a floral printed top and embellished sandals.
For a while, we almost only saw January in dark or medium wash flared jeans. It looks like she's mixing it up a lot more and trying out really distressed or skinnier styles. I love that even though these have distressing, the fit is perfect on her. You can buy Siwy online from Revolveclothing.com.
Kate Moss in Siwy Hannah in Rain
Kate Moss was spotted on her way to sushi in Hampstead, London. The supermodel wore a pair of jeans that we have not seen wear in a while, the Siwy Hannah in Rain. She paired them with a fringe jacket from her collaboration with TOPSHOP and a pair of Tabitha Simmons Phoenix Buckled Boots.
I like the height at which Kate cuffed her jeans. We usually see them cuffed just above the ankles, but seeing them higher somehow feels refreshing. I can definitely see more people wearing their cuffs like this. You can click here to purchase Siwy from SHOPBOP.
Vanessa Hudgens in Siwy Joan Slouchy Straight Jeans in Rapture
Vanessa Hudgens graces the new issue of FLAUNT Magazine flaunting her abs. Simone Harouche styled the actress in a TOPSHOP crop top and a pair of the Siwy Joan Slouchy Straight Jeans in Rapture.
I know this isn't a sighting of her on the streets, but it is nice to see someone in Siwy. I do love Kate Moss in the brand, but it is nice to see a different style. Especially a heavily distressed slouchy pair like these. I think they look great on Vanessa and paired with the top. You can click here to purchase these jeans from SHOPBOP for $218.
Selma Blair in Siwy Camilla Cut Off Shorts in Savage Love
Snapped while out running errands with her son, Selma Blair wore a pair of Siwy Camilla cut off shorts in Savage Love with a printed blouse and a pair of black Birkenstocks.
Selma really loves the Camilla fit from Siwy when it comes to shorts, we see her almost exclusively in this style. I do like how this has a lighter, more subtle acid look wash, that is a more modern take on the trend and doesn't look dated. You can buy Siwy online from Shopbop.com.

Until today, I kept my Gmail account and my work Google Apps email account open in tabs next to each other. Google made some changes over the weekend, and I can no longer be logged into both accounts in the same browser. I have gotten around this problem by opening one of the accounts in an IE tab, but I'd prefer to do so in a Firefox tab. Is there an extension that will do this? I haven't found one in the Chrome extension directory.
If I'm correct in thinking that there is no Chrome Firefox Tab extension, is there another solution to this issue that will let me keep two email tabs open?

Among dozens of gratis Tumblr themes, I've hardly seen any that offers to display tags on the front-page. Have you? Can you provide some links? It doesn't have to be all fancy, like tag clouds.
closed as too broad by ᴡᴏʀᴅs, jonsca♦ Apr 10 at 22:51
There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Here is a tag cloud generator, that you can insert on your tumblr home page: http://rive.rs/projects/tumblr-tag-clouds
I've found some themes 1.there is Esten theme, it shows several (maybe 10) tags at the bottom, 2.a theme by Dominic Valenciana, idk the name, but I know that it shows up to five tags in top bar 3.leen themes has Sandy- theme that shows up to 12 tags in sidebar 4.and there was one theme I've found by searching 'tag list' or maybe 'tag cloud' on that 'search way more themes' in tumblr- it is a grid theme called photogrid or photoportfolio or something like that, you can recognize it because on the header image there is a title in which every word has a white background, and it is THE ONLY theme that automatically lists all your tags.

Mortgage Rates Fall With Home Demand
Mortgage rates generally declined this week, with the average rate on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages retreating below 5%, according to Freddie Mac's weekly survey of mortgage rates.
Demand for new and used homes strengthened last year, but has dropped in recent months because of cold weather and continuing joblessness. New-home sales unexpectedly hit a record low in January, the Commerce Department said last week, while existing-home sales slumped.
Treasury yields were generally flat in the past week; mortgage rates tend to follow the yields.
The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 4.97% for the week ended Thursday, down from last week's 5.05% average and 5.15% a year ago. Rates on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages were 4.33%, down from 4.4% last week and 4.72% a year ago.
Five-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable-rate mortgages averaged 4.11%, lower than last week's 4.16% and last year's 5.08%. One-year Treasury-indexed ARMs were 4.27%, up from 4.15% last week but down from 4.86% a year earlier.

This is a terrific plugin -
I wondered if there is any way to stagger the updates when posted into the BuddyPress activity stream?
I've merged a number of RSS feeds using the plugin but finding that when the updates take place in the activity stream the stream is dominated by just one BuddyPress Group activity - I need to scroll down to see other group activities.
The other way of dealing with this is to keep the plugin updates contained in the group itself and so that there is no update in the main activity stream...
Please help if you can

Michael Dibdin's ingenuity and mastery of style and form have earned him numerous accolades, a devoted readership, and the undisguised envy of his peers. Although he is best known in the United States for his incomparable Aurelio Zen series, it would be an injustice to pigeonhole Dibdin solely as a mystery writer. In each of his novels, he has consistently transcended the mechanics of the mystery at hand to investigate the larger, less neatly solvable mysteries of the human heart and soul.
In Thanksgiving, Dibdin continues to internalize the process of investigation, cleverly subverting genre conventions to create an intensely personal meditation on loss, obsession, erotic desire, and power of the past.
Here, the narrator is an expatriate British journalist, Anthony "Tony" Baines. But it is Tony's wife, Lucy, who is the novel's iconic, central figure -- a feat of authorial legerdemain all the more remarkable given that Lucy is recently dead (a casualty of a commercial airline disaster) and appears in the book only through the persistence of memory, and the odd spectral cameo. Bereft of his one great love, denied the promise of their future together, Tony decides to lay claim to the last remaining vestiges of Lucy's life -- her past.
The trouble is, Lucy's past doesn't rightly belong to him. The particulars of Lucy's Life Before Tony are currently the exclusive property of her first husband, Darryl Bob Allen, a onetime sexual athlete and all-around professional failure whose true calling is audio/video voyeurism. On the pretext of settling Lucy's estate, Tony heads out to a remote patch of Nevada desert to talk to Darryl Bob. And in the event that Darryl Bob should prove to be less than forthcoming, he brings a gun. Just in case.
Having marshaled the necessary elements -- grief, lust, jealousy, even a convenient "murder" weapon -- Dibdin promptly proceeds to confound expectations. Instead of the murder mystery for which we have been prepared, Thanksgiving reveals itself to be something more ambitious: the story of one man coming to terms with his own past, and his redemption through the undying power of love.
