Posted by johngl
In preparation for Vaca y Vino, a whole-steer Argentine inspired grilling adventure being put on by a few Austin chefs in the picturesque Wimberley, TX area later today, I decided to have my own, yet considerably smaller-scale, meat-laden adventure using my Big Green Egg.
That's roughly 10.5 pounds of beef and just over two pounds of turkey breast; nowhere near the 800 pounds of cow that is already on the grill for the Vaca y Vino event.
Of course, I don't need a pit half the size of my back yard either!
Prep work is pretty simple for these long, low and slow barbeque marathons:
Start out with a choice-grade whole brisket. I leave the fat intact (that is, not trimmed away). Why? Because 1) it bastes the meat as it melts, carrying seasonings with it and 2) I'm lazy. In fact, I've even given up on dry-aging these massive hunks of meat before smoking them. I found that the non dry-aged version actually came out juicier.
You may notice that I cross-hatch cut through the fat down to the meat on the fatty side. This allows the fat to drain down into the valleys as it melts away. Fat is also an insulator and I think the meat gets up to temp faster when it's cross-hatched. Faster is a relative term here: it may mean the difference between 12 hours and 13 hours.
Even the seasonings are simple: salt and pepper. That's it. There is no need to put anything else on the meat. In fact, that is all I put on the turkey breast, too. The key here is to season the meat at least 24 hours in advance of cooking. Be generous, especially on the fatty side since all of that is going to get cut away anyway. I used a heaping tablespoon of each (salt and pepper) on this particular brisket and pressed it into the meat using the backside of a tablespoon.
Prepping the Big Green Egg was simple as well. I'm now using a combo of large-lump hardwood (oak) charcoal mixed 50/50 with Kingsford Competition Grade briquettes. This makes for a quick startup and exceptionally even heating, even over the long haul. For that extra-special smoky goodness, I tossed in five tennis ball-sized lumps of hickory after I dumped the large (Weber) chimney starter full of very hot coals into the Egg. I do not soak my wood chunks in water.
My no-soak philosophy yields a super-thick smoke right from the start and allowing that initial smoke to burn and blow off for 5-10 minutes is a good idea before you drop the meat into the Egg. When you do get ready to pop in the meat, make sure and "burp" the smoke out of the Egg by lifting the lid a few inches, holding, then finishing the lift. If you open that sucker in one big stroke, you take the chance of being engulfed in a good-sized fireball when oxygen floods the environment. Smoke is highly volatile.
This is the brisket one hour into the adventure. Notice that it is fat-side up. Also notice the tub of water under the brisket. This serves two purposes: 1) creates a moist heat environment (almost like braising) and 2) catches the bulk of the fat that drains off the meat. I learned this lesson the hard way. With my dual chambered smoker, where the heat and the smoke box are in literally separate containers, the fat dripped away and you didn't have to worry about it dripping on something hot and coating everything in a "burned fat" acrid smoke. The Egg is a bit different in that the "firebox" resides directly under the meat…sure, the "plate setter" ceramic disk is between the heat source and the meat, but it still gets hot enough to burn fat.
With the water-filled drip pan in place, you don't get a lot of burning fat (also, the cross hatches help direct the melting fat into the drip pan). The pan of water also moderates the heat transfer between the firebox, plate setter ceramic, and the meat. It solved several problems with using the Egg as a smoker and I highly recommend giving it a whirl. The Big Green Egg is way more temperature stable than my double-chambered smoker and with a 12 hour cooking time, I can confidently set the temp and walk away for hours without worry. With the double-chambered rig, you need to check things every 20 minutes and the temps go up and down like a yo-yo.
Here we are at four hours into the great smoky adventure. Notice the color changes in the water? That's all from the fat that has rendered away.
At eight hours in, I added the turkey breast. It too was seasoned only with salt and pepper the day prior to the smoking. I like my turkey breast cooked to 165F and four hours at 225-250F in the smoker gets it there. Notice too that this is actually a bone-in half breast. A whole one might take longer. A probe thermometer is your friend. The brisket came in at 165F at this point: 30 degrees to go.
Here's the brisket at 13 hours: 12 hours on the smoker and an hour resting. I was carting this over to my good friend Charlie's house, so I wrapped it in foil separately from the turkey.
I'd never done a small hunk of turkey such as this on the Big Green Egg. I don't know why I am surprised that it came out as tender and juicy as everything else I've cooked on that thing. It is, by far, the most versatile outdoor cooking unit I've discovered thus far. Rather stupidly, I didn't take a photo of the turkey flesh, but it came out nicely pinkish and not overly-smoky tasting.
I did manage to be on the ball enough to snap the brisket. More pinkish than brownish, with a good smoke ring, you can see the juices on the board and oozing out of the meat. Delicious. The "burnt ends" were richly smoky and salty tasting, almost like a beefy bacon. I'd have put them in with the beans if I hadn't eaten them.
So, that's about it. In three hours, I'll be down in Wimberley, chowing down on massive hunks of beef flesh, drinking wine, and taking lots of photos. Tickets are no longer available, so you've missed out on this one, but you now have the knowledge to at least cook a brisket (and turkey breast) properly on a Big Green Egg.
Here's a short-winded recap:
1. Cross-hatch cut the fatty side of the brisket
2. Apply liberal amounts of salt and pepper 24 hours (at least) in advance rubbing said seasonings into the meat. Wrap and keep refrigerated until 1-2 hours before putting it on the smoker.
2a. If you are doing turkey, no cross hatching is necessary, but the seasoning part is.
3. Get things started on your BGE in advance and allow the temps to stabilize somewhere between 225F and 250F. Lower end is better, but takes longer. Allow the initial smoke of the raw wood to blow off (it tends to be a bit acrid smelling). Use a drip pan and pre-fill it with boiling water (to catch fat — water keeps the fat from burning — and low temp steam helps keep things moist).
3a. Turkey pieces don't take nearly as long. Once they hit 165F internally, pull 'em.
4. The brisket will be tender and juicy at about 195F. Much more than that and you'll run the risk of drying it out.
5. Take your time! Do not rush the brisket!
6. Enjoy!

In Texas, it's almost impossible for politicians to shock – Rick Perry is known for childish gunplay; Senator Dan Patrick brags about carrying a firearm in the Texas capitol. Innumerable Republicans relish abusing women's, minorities', seniors', and poor peoples' rights, and work tirelessly to beat Mississippi to the bottom in most all societal measures. One of the most frequent things they do, though, appears designed to offend as many people as possible (except for their mouth breathing base): they love to invite aging, washed up rocker, Ted Nugent, to political events. For example, Steve Stockman, one of the biggest bomb throwers in the US House, callously invited Nugent to the 2013 State of the Union address by President Obama just days after the tragedy at Newtown. In a youTube video made with Nugent at the time, Stockman referred to the families of gun violence victims as "useful idiots". Nugent is well known for being a pal of Democrat-turned-teabagger Rick Perry, and performed at Perry's last (and, thankfully, final) gubernatorial inauguration wearing a confederate flag shirt and trash talking everyone with whom he disagreed.
Nugent is not just some idiot redneck (even though those are his dominate qualities), he's on the board of directors of the NRA, speaks regularly at gun shows around the country, and is generally known for being a hateful bigot. Nugent is from Detroit, and was widely known during his actual career as the Motor City Madman. Oddly, Texas Republicans have become obsessed with this non-Texan, and regularly involve him in gatherings of weirdos and screwballs, inviting him to come and spread a little hate to gin up the base. Greg Abbott, heir apparent to become chief engineer of the Texas crazy train, has followed in his predecessors' footsteps by inviting Nugent to campaign with him.
Let's summarize, uncensored, some of Nugent's finest moments, starting with his most recent gun show interview:
I have obviously failed to galvanize and prod, if not shame enough Americans to be ever vigilant not to let a Chicago communist raised communist educated communist nurtured subhuman mongrel like the ACORN community organizer gangster Barack Hussein Obama to weasel his way into the top office of authority in the United States of America. I am heartbroken but I am not giving up. I think America will be America again when Barack Obama, [Attorney General] Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton, [Sen.] Dick Durbin, [former New York City Mayor] Michael Bloomberg and all of the liberal Democrats are in jail facing the just due punishment that their treasonous acts are clearly apparent.
So a lot of people would call that inflammatory speech. Well I would call it inflammatory speech when it's your job to protect Americans and you look into the television camera and say what difference does it make that I failed in my job to provide security and we have four dead Americans. What difference does that make? Not to a chimpanzee or Hillary Clinton, I guess it doesn't matter.
In that same interview, he said about Sec. Hillary Clinton, "Our politicians check their scrotum in at the door. Even Hillary, but obviously she has spare scrotums."
This is nothing. Here's a summary of some of his greatest hits:
"I`m a fun guy, not a sexist or a racist. I use the word n*gger a lot because I hang around with a lot of n*ggers."
On South Africans:
"Apartheid isn`t that cut and dry. All men are not created equal. The preponderance of South Africa is a different breed of man. I mean that with no disrespect. I say that with great respect. I love them because I`m one of
them. They are still people of the earth, but they are different. They still put bones in their noses, they still walk around naked, they wipe their butts with their hands. These are different people. You give `em toothpaste, they f**king eat it … I hope they don`t become civilized. They`re way ahead of the game."
It goes on and on, including regularly threatening the lives of the President and the First Lady.
In a normal state, hateful clowns like Nugent would be shunned and ignored. In Texas, he's revered, and been asked to campaign in person with Abbott. For those of you who don't know about Abbott, he's our Attorney General here in Texas; but, rather than working to protect the rights and lives of Texans, Abbott has taken on the mantel of chief Obama hater, and is well known for saying, "I go into the office in the morning. I sue Barack Obama, and then I go home." He's also become the chief warrior in the assault against non-existent voter fraud, and a leader in Texas' war on women.
If fits, then, that Greg Abbott would invite Nugent to appear on the same stage with him in campaign appearances. The big question, though is, Why? Nugent certainly whips up Abbott's base, since radical right wingers love a little thinly veiled bigotry. If the primary was hotly contested, with Republicans trying to out-crazy each other, I could see why bringing in the Big Bigot might help; but Abbott is the presumptive nominee and already has the Nugent Block. Will sharing the podium with Ted Nugent convince possible Wendy Davis voters to cross over and vote for Abbott? Certainly not; the risk of offending normal Texans with his presence is huge, but I don't believe Abbott cares. It only takes one a few minutes perusing his Facebook page and website to understand that Abbott has morphed from normal politician to fire breathing ultra-conservative, complete with perpetuating every fake issue that has been peddled by the national GOP. Like Rick Perry, he believes he doesn't need the votes of independents and centrist Democrats. Such is the state of politics in Texas; rather than wanting to be governor for all Texans, he only wants to be governor of the tea party. Sad.

At the end of March, a very unexpected work trip brought me out to San Francisco for a few days. When I first graduated from college, I moved out there for an incredible work opportunity. This was the first time I had been back in 5 years! While my time in California was relatively short, it was absolutely one of the best experiences of my life. It was a huge leap for me to move out there alone and scary to be so far from the East Coast. Living out there [and the cross-country drive home] really sparked my interest and obsession with travel and visiting new places.
I had one day to revisit some of my favorite places. I rented a little red Versa and hit the road. I drove straight to my old apartment complex in Alameda which is right on the water. The boardwalk was my favorite place to run and I remember each day thinking how lucky I was to live there. After walking the boardwalk and around Park Street, I drove to In-n-Out Burger. If I was going to the West Coast, I was going to get a burger. Annnd it was just as good as I remember it. I then went to Battery Spencer to get a view of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco that I had never seen before [think opening credits of Full House] It was amazing!! And I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Bay Area. I finished the day with a delicious dinner in North Beach with my 'older sister' who took great care of me while I lived there and became a close friend along the way.
I'm so grateful for the opportunity I had to get back to California. It definitely makes you realize just how quickly time passes! Hopefully it will not be another 5 years before my next return.
My little rental in front of my old complex.

Naturally healthy
If you like your food natural, then this delectable Barbecue Mushroom Delight served with irie salad, pumpkin, and banana quiche flavoured with onion, scallion, and garlic with vegetables - lettuce, tomato, cabbage, avocado - and fried ripe plantain on the side is sure to hit to spot. As if that were not enough, you can top it off with a pineapple tart dessert made with ginger, cinnamon, and whole wheat flour. These are some of the delectable offerings that welcome you to Natural Touch Vegetarian cuisine.
According to owner Davine Moving, you can't go wrong when you go vegetarian. "There are not a lot of vegetarian restaurants that are a part of Restaurant Week (RW), so it's a good medium to spread the importance of healthy food," she said. The vegetarian restaurant joined the RW line up three years ago after changing its name from Viope and landing in Orchid Village Plaza on Barbican Road.
Chef Oniel Williams is confident in his choice of flavours for his Reggae Roti Wrap done Jamaican style, served with ripe fried plantain, vegetables - tomato, lettuce and carrot, avocado - and split peas, topped with a sweet coconut gizzarda for dessert.
Lunchtime is healthy time for all customers during RW. Two vegetarian combos are a complete meal, including dessert. At your disposal will be natural homemade drinks made with local fruits with flavours ranging from cane juice, apple, cherry, guava, Irish moss, coconut water, beet root, June plum, green juice, and fruit smoothies.
Moving said that the friendly staff at the restaurant offers valuable service, with good, authentic vegetarian food in a cool and cosy environment, plus, you are guaranteed to get value for your money.
Moving said that her client base had grown tremendously and she would continue to provide healthy mouth-watering goodness to her customers.

certified copy. (movie notes).
*contains spoilers.*
I had heard of the director Abbas Kiarostami, but had never seen his films before. Certified Copy promised Juliette Binoche and the golden sunlit landscape of Tuscany, and since I love both of the above I knew I would see this one.
A man is giving a presentation of his new book. A woman arrives, late, with a preteen son in tow. The son is restless, bored, hungry, that dangerous combination every parent is familiar with, and they leave, after the woman hands a note to the man sitting next to her. Later, the man (the writer) finds her in a shop, and their story begins. They are strangers, or so it seems. They converse in English, with the polite words of people who are getting to know each other, as she drives through the countryside. They walk through the cobbled streets of an old town, look at art, drink coffee. Are they flirting with one another? Perhaps. And then the story takes a turn: they are not strangers at all. They are husband and wife.
Suddenly, the dialogue (now mostly in French) is not that of strangers, but of a couple who has been married for a while - fifteen years - and who are not together most of the time. It's never quite clear why they don't live together - part of their argument touches on an earlier car accident, which happened while she was driving home from one city to another, with their son in the car - but then it's not quite clear if this story is a continuation of the first one, or a new story. It's a little like being in a Calvino novel. I'm reminded of that Kieslowski film, The Double Life of Veronique, which splits into two halves as it traces the lives of the two Veroniques, only here you are even less sure of what's happening before you.
The woman, played by Juliette Binoche, isn't necessarily an admirable character. She is capricious, flirty, coy, then needy and almost desperate. But later there's a scene where she and her husband (played by the opera baritone William Shimell, who by the way is incredibly handsome) are arguing over dinner, and you see in her face this remarkable openness. There is something childlike about the way that Juliette Binoche looks into the camera, which has stayed with her throughout her entire career. Childlike is the wrong word, and so is innocent. Defenseless, perhaps. Yes, that's it - she has a way of putting down all her defenses, even when or especially when asking for something she cannot have. Her husband. His arms around her. Him walking beside her, always.

Instagram Multiple Account Switching!
If your brand uses Instagram, you're well aware of the pain that's associated with switching back and forth between multiple Instagram accounts. Logging out….manually entering your credentials….logging back in. I've personally felt this pain when using Instagram for clients at trade shows. Sharing an event or a product for one client – then needing a complete reset before sharing for another.
Well, this week Instagram announced that all Instagram users with the updated app (version 7.15) will have the ability to switch between up to five Instagram accounts without having to back completely out of the app. Marketers rejoice!
Like I said, the update rolled out this week – so if you don't see it when you launch, force quit the app and relaunch it. Let's hope that this trend continues to Pinterest.

When replacement rigging is needed for boats based outside the Solent region, the company arranges collection of the existing rigging and produces a full set of the highest quality replacement rod or wire rigging before arranging free delivery (subject to location and boat size) back to the customer or a trusted local rigger to carry out the installation. All products use the best materials and come with a standard 12-month guarantee. This service ensures that all customers can benefit from the best fit, best quality and best price.
For boats based locally, Advanced Rigging & Hydraulics is offering 50% off rig inspections and rigging reports until the end of April 17. Inspections allow the company's expert technicians to provide a completely impartial overview of the condition of a boat's mast and its standing and running rigging. Rigging inspections are essential given that standard yacht insurance policies require rigging to be kept in a fit and proper seaworthy condition and these reports provide an excellent record for maintenance purposes.
For more information on replacement rigging and to arrange an inspection at 50% off the usual price, please contact Advanced Rigging on 02380 454 280.

Magnifiers for near viewing are used to increase the size of the image reaching the eye and can improve the visual functioning of students with most, but not all, eye disorders. Magnifiers will allow access to regular print materials both in and outside of the classroom, such as books, magazines, labels, price tags, game boards, time tables, and menus. This will prepare the student for adult life when most environmental, educational, and leisure reading materials will be available only in regular print.
It is important to choose the minimum level of magnification necessary when using Low Vision Aids. This is because the power of the lens directly impacts its size as the stronger the power of a lens, the smaller the size will be. As magnifiers get stronger, the focal (or working) distance gets shorter which means you must hold the lens closer to your eye. All optical devices should be prescribed by a Low Vision Specialist who will determine the most appropriate device for the student's unique needs.
Type of Lenses
Convex Lens
Convex Lens are inexpensive, lightweight and can be used on either side. They are available in powers from 1.5x to 4x. These lenses are more portable and can e helpful for spotting information such as price tags, and labels. Although these lenses are more portable, they often distort the image around the edges. These lenses are not recommended as an aid for prolonged reading activities.
Bi-Aspheric Lens
Bi-Aspheric lenses can be used on either side and are available in powers from 1.7x to 20x. They provide an undistorted image to edge of the lens but the user must maintain the correct focal distance for the image to remain undistorted.
Single Aspheric Lens
Single Aspheric lenses are used by placing the flat side on the page with the curved side toward the eye. They are available in powers from 2.5x to 15x. The student rests the lens on the page and does not need to maintain a focal distance and it provides a distortion free image from rim to rim. The drawback is that they are heavier than convex and Bi-Aspheric Lenses.
Flat Field Magnifiers
Flat Field Magnifiers are often called Dome Magnifiers or Bar Magnifiers. They are easy to use as it sits flat on the page and the user does not need to maintain a focal distance.
Type of Magnifiers
Hand-held magnifiers
Hand held magnifiers are portable and can easily be carried in pockets, purses, and backpacks. They are relatively inexpensive and come in a range of powers. Some magnifiers provide illumination by directing light directly on the source. Some hand-held magnifiers double as stand magnifiers (they can be placed directly on the surface of the page/book) while others require the student to hold them and maintain the correct focal distance. This can be a disadvantage as the student must hold the magnifier at just the right focal distance. Additionally, if you are holding a magnifier, you "lose the use of a hand" which makes it difficult to use while trying to write. It is also difficult to use if the user has a hand tremor.
These magnifiers may be used for such tasks as reading, writing, and artwork. They can be used in a variety of situations, are small, are inexpensive, and are portable. They are socially acceptable since they are familiar to most people. They are, however, less effective when high power is needed and when both hands are needed for a task. They also require good eye-hand coordination.
Stand Mounted & Dome Magnifiers
Stand mounted and dome magnifiers are placed directly on a page and provide a fixed distance between the lens and the object being viewed. Some have good light-gathering capacity and can be equipped with additional illumination and/or additional lenses. They are particularly helpful with students who have difficulty holding a handheld magnifier at the needed distance. The downside is that it is necessary to lean over the magnifier which can cause back and neck discomfort. Additionally, these magnifiers are typically bulkier and not as portable as hand held magnifiers
Illuminated Magnifiers
Illuminated magnifiers are beneficial for students who require high-powered devices and need supplementary lighting, or those who want to avoid reflections from ceiling lights. The magnifier puts the focus of the light on the paper creating more light and creating higher contrast. Illuminated magnifiers are available in handheld or stand magnifiers. However, they are not useable without batteries.
Globe, Dome & Bar Magnifiers
Globe, dome, and bar magnifiers are portable and are placed directly on a page to view print. They are half-spherical magnifiers, sometimes called "bright field" because they gather light. They are not typically available in high powers of magnification so they aren't suitable for everyone. They are always in focus but must be rested on the reading surface so these are not as ideal when reading price tags or other information when it isn't possible to rest directly on the surface.
Bar Magnifier
Bar magnifiers are semi-cylindrical lenses that lie on top of a page and magnify one line of print at a time. They only come in magnification up to 1.5x so they are only helpful to users with minimal vision loss. Additionally, they can distort the print.
Magnifiers on Adjustable Arms
Magnifiers with adjustable arms are designed for sighted people to perform fine detail tasks and are typically not helpful for persons with visual impairments as they have limited amounts of magnification.
Pocket Magnifiers
Pocket magnifiers are lightweight and are relatively easy to use. They come in magnification ranging from 2x to 15x. Pocket Magnifiers can be helpful in the kitchen to read labels, when shopping to look at price tags, or in a restaurant to read menus. They offer a narrow field of view and a short working distance which can be a disadvantage.
Spectacle Mounted Magnifier for Near Viewing
Half Eye Prismatic Spectacles are available in magnifications from 1x to 4x and are helpful to persons who need only 3x or less magnification. Hyperoculars are available in magnifications from 4x to 12x magnification. Keep in mind the higher the magnification, the closer the user would need to be to the print. The largest advantage is it allows the user to have both hands free. The disadvantage is there is a short working distance as the user has to bring the object close to the face to bring it into focus.

A Response to Ernie's Post Modern Faith in Jesus
Ernie pointed us to his recent post here. He was some thought-provoking things to say, and you will want to take a look at it before continuing here.
First, Ernie is pretty accurate in saying that I am rejecting a fundamentalist interpretation of Christianity on empirical grounds, that what I used to believe has (in my view) been proven false. I do recognize that I cannot on those grounds rule out every possible version of God, and I do recognize that there are alternative sets of beliefs, still based at least roughly on the Bible and still called Christian by their adherents, that are less susceptible to those disproofs. I alluded to that here, about half way down, when I stated that disproving conservative, fundamentalist Christianity was easier due to its stronger claims.
Second, I will admit to being a little surprised at how little Ernie is claiming as empirically knowable. It raises the question in my mind how much difference there is between what he lists there and what (or how much) he believes is true beyond that. This does not have anything to do with the testability of what he has proposed; I am simply curious because what he stated represents a much more liberal position than I expected from him. Similarly, I think Ernie does well to point out the pitfalls that accompany ascribing omnipotence and omniscience to God. And as with other statements of liberal Christianity, once we have stripped it down so far, I wonder if there is enough left to be worth believing, as opposed simply to studying.
But the main point, I guess, was to look at a set of propositions that Ernie believes can be supported emperically:
a. There is a God -- that is, a source of information, power, and will external to the physical universeI have some of questions and concerns about these as potentially falsifiable statements.
b. That this God has revealed Himself in numerous ways to numerous people (not necessarily just Judeo-Christians), providing insights, leadership, and occasionally miracles beyond those accessible to mortal men
c. That communities which respond to these revelations by 'worship' (submission) live healthier, happier, and holier lives that those who denigrate or deny such revelations -- in proportion to the character of the God they worship
d. That the revelation of truth contained in the person and actions of Jesus Christ is vastly superior to anything claimed by any individual before or since; and that to create a Jesus myth would require wisdom equal to (or greater) than that ascribed to Jesus himself
e. That Jesus himself, whatever may have been added by legend, explicitly characterized himself as a representative of the above-mentioned external God
f. That *someone* and *something* -very unusual- happened in the first century AD that gave birth to the Christian movement, in a way that allows enormous diversity yet amazing continuity across both space and time.
With regard to (a), this seems to imply a non-physical reality to which we are (somehow) connected. Do we have any empirical evidence that such a non-physical reality exists? What tests can we perform that could prove that it does not exist? If we have no possibility of disproving its existence, then we cannot know it to be true in even the scientific sense (which is a tentative kind of knowledge anyway). Also, how can we show that there is only one god? Why not more than one?
Similarly, for (b), I do not understand how we are going to establish that the god proposed in (a) has revealed himself in numerous ways to numerous people. How can we distinguish insights and leadership from this God from purely natural insights and leadership? The subject of miracles is a bit bigger. I will have to come back to that.
In (c) we have some possibilities. For instance, many kinds of health can be measured more or less objectively. Happiness is a bit more subjective, and I think we will have trouble establishing a measure of that for communities throughout history. As for "holier", I am a bit worried on this one, because I think you could say that anybody that was not holy was not responding to the revelations, so that it is a bit circular.
I have another criticism of (c). People's beliefs can and usually do affect their lives, even when the belief itself is false. So when you say that "communities that respond to these revelations" have certain characteristics, you need to recognize and account for the effects of the beliefs. I would not find it particularly surprising if communities that generally hold to various religious beliefs would treat each other better or worse according to what they believe. I am concerned about how much we can infer about the truth of their beliefs on that basis.
(I suppose some people might say that if the beliefs produce social good, maybe we shouldn't worry so much about whether what they believe is true. Unfortunately, religion has also been the vehicle for a tremendous amount of evil in the world, even when the religion supposedly advocates better things. Also, beliefs only produce those good effects when they are actually believed. I, at least, cannot pretend to believe simply in order to get the benefits of belief, such as they are. Finally, I think it very likely that there are better results possible based on things that are true, when that can be known.)
In (d), Ernie refers to the "revelation of truth contained in the person and actions of Jesus Christ" and claims that this revelation is superior to anything claimed before or since by anyone else. I am unsure whether Ernie intends this to be superiority in quality (so that the revelation most closely matches some ultimate truth) or superiority in quantity (there were more true things revealed through Jesus than anybody else) or superiority in importance (there were more important true things revealed through Jesus), or perhaps something else entirely. For any of the possibilities I have listed, I wonder how we will determine this superiority without knowing "the truth" that is to be the standard for measurement.
With regard to (e), I do not expect to much controversy about whether Jesus characterized himself as some kind of representative of God. I know there are many people who would argue that divinity was not something that he claimed for himself. (Note that we do not have anything written by Jesus himself. We have only words that others claim were said by Jesus. I do not want to get into all of that here, but just wanted to point out why people might argue that Jesus did not claim divinity for himself even though it might seem that way from the gospels.) I would note that many other people have characterized themselves as various kinds of representatives of God, and some of them were not very nice people. So I do not really understand how this proposition gets us anywhere.
Finally (and I apologize for the length of all of this, but Ernie started it :-), in (f) we are looking at the emergence of Christianity itself, something that was "very unusual". Some unusual things do happen. Many do not. We cannot place too much emphasis on the one unusual event that did happen. I could just as easily characterize the birth and growth of Mormonism as very unusual. The implication seems to be (but maybe I am misunderstanding Ernie's point) that the emergence of Christianity was so unusual that one could not reasonably explain it without appealing to a supernatural cause. But I do not find anything that unusual about it. Many religions have "lived" and "died", some bigger, some smaller, some lasting longer, some less so.
(I confess I do not understand what Ernie meant when he said "in a way that allows enormous diversity yet amazing continuity across both time and space". Can you help me out on that one, Ernie?)
Overall, I wonder if I am missing Ernie's point a bit, because I do not see most of his propositions as very testable, and the others have (to me) questionable significance. I also dispute Ernie's statement that
... each of these propositions is more consistent with the available evidence than its contradiction, i.e. at least "relatively true.", and that they all support each other. In other words, if you can at least believe either "f" or "a", you ought to be able to infer the rest without difficulty.I especially fail to see that there is a logical chain of inference in either direction, let alone both directions. To me, saying that you can infer the rest from either (a) or (f) means that once you have established the truth of one of those, that the other must necessarily be true. Put another way, (a) would be a sufficient cause for (b), and (b) would be sufficient for (c), and so on. The way it looks to me, (a) is necessary but not sufficient for (b), (b) is necessary but not sufficient for (c), and (b) is also necessary but not sufficient for (d). (d), (e) and (f) and perhaps others seem to be leading to some other as-yet unstated conclusion.
What am I missing or misunderstanding?

Linotte Joseph is on a mission. A one-woman mission. A mission never before tried in Palm Beach County.
She is traveling to self-service laundries, flea markets, churches and homes to deliver door to door a personal message to fellow Haitians.
Her message: birth control.
Planned Parenthood, the agency that hired her, hopes it does not become Mission Impossible.
``I want to help the Haitians. That`s my people,`` said Joseph, 27, a Delray Beach woman with three children. ``Most of them listen. They`re really interested.
``Nobody wants to have children if you can`t take care of them.``
Her message is written in Creole on pink sheets of paper she carries on her trips, which have so far taken her to about 200 people from Lantana to West Palm Beach.
Two Saturdays a month, the pink sheets say, free contraception and family- planning visits are available for Haitians at the Planned Parenthood office at 4889 Lake Worth Road, west of Lake Worth.
Transportation to and from the clinic is free. An interpreter is available.
For information, Creole-speakers can dial 641-2698, and an interpreter will return the call.
Only Haitians are invited.
No one else can use the clinic on Saturdays or get free transportation there, said Judy Herrick, director of Planned Parenthood of the Palm Beach Area Inc.
A $12,000 grant from United Methodist Church and a $3,000 grant from the national Planned Parenthood office pay for the program.
It is an attempt to break into a culture of characteristically large families, Herrick said.
Some Haitians are finding they must try to limit the size of their families to get ahead financially in Palm Beach County, Herrick said.

Social Media is supposed to be just that-Social.
Seems pretty obvious, right?
Well, seemingly not to everyone…!
On a personal level, I'd have to say I love Twitter.
In the beginning, I didn't love Twitter-in fact I thought it was a bit silly, probably pointless, and populated by people with too much time on their hands.
Then I discovered I was following the wrong people, or rather, hadn't discovered people who sparked my interest-not just from a business perspective, but those who had an interesting "take" on life and all it's facets.
Yes, I spend a lot of time on other Social Media platforms and we do a lot of work with Clients who know they should be "doing" Social Media, but as I'm a 40something male, with a huge interest in Digital Marketing, Business, Politics, Food, Coffee, Music, Humour (and did I mention food…?) I tend to reach for Twitter more than other platforms.
My enjoyment of life is enhanced daily by following the musings of some great Social Media contributors- people who amuse, enlighten and challenge me on a reassuringly regular basis. Some of my favorites are wonderful Irish contributors on Marketing & Business such as Greg Canty (@GregCantyFuzion) Shane O'Leary (@shaneoleary1) & Frank Hannigan (@frankhannigan) and from an entirely different parish, the extraordinary Seth Godin, whose daily musings I love to see arriving in my timeline.
I always encourage Clients who want to gain an understanding of how they can utilize Social Media successfully to first of all think about the word Social, and what it means.
Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, LinkedIn and other SM platforms are about 2-way conversations,not about ramming your business message down people's throats.
Nobody wants to be stuck in the corner at a party with the guy who is droning on about what they do, and never shows an interest in you, and what you're about. The same goes for Social Media.
Don't be "that guy" (or girl, obviously!).
Don't be the company or organisation that constantly posts purely about themselves, with messages that don't add anything to the lives of their followers.
Do share useful information, provide insights, help answer questions for others, and you will find your own online following growing steadily.
Enjoy it-it's Social!
Above all, remember the #1 Rule:
"If you're going to be ON Social, you need to BE Social"
If you would like to talk to Zone Digital about your Social Media Strategy, we would love to hear from you.

The Compass LOGIC System
Save on power and swim in healthier water!
Introducing the latest way to improve water circulation and reduce the power needed to keep your pool water healthy.
For many years, pools have been built using the same means of water circulation. In a standard pool, water is sucked away through the skimmer box, it then goes through a filter and is returned fresh to the other end of the pool through eyeball return fittings.
Whilst this system does circulate some water during its run cycle, it does have one fundamental flaw: most of the circulation occurs in the top 30cm of water. The deeper water remains under-circulated and more susceptible to grow algae.
Compass Pools have developed a better way to keep your pool water healthy and your running costs low. We call this system LOGIC and it is exclusive to the Compass Dealer network.
Logic will reduce the amount of electricity you use in your pool
The added circulation created by the two wall drains and the three swing jet returns means that you can use an energy efficient pump without sacrificing water health. These days more people are turning toward energy efficient pumps to reduce electricity consumption when running their swimming pools. The problem however, is that there is a trade-off between water circulation and energy use.
By adding LOGIC, the pool pump is able to maintain proper circulation even when running at low speeds. So, when you have a Compass LOGIC pool you get the benefits of healthier water and lower running costs.
Logic greatly improves the health of your pool water.
A standard pool removes water from the pool using a surface skimmer only. A Compass LOGIC pool removes water using a skimmer as well as two drains which are positioned at the bottom of the wall in the deep end of your pool. These drains create added circulation in the deepest areas - where algae is most likely to grow.
* Projected cost savings based on Compass LOGIC pool with energy C330 pump compared to a standard pool with a 1.5hp equivalent pump. Minimum 6 hours running time required for proper operation of salt chlorinator.

Jennifer Dale
Born in Wisconsin, I spent my time between Illinois, Wisconsin and South Dakota. In 2001, I decided to move to Texas, where I received my B.A. in History and Anthropology. Throughout most of my adult life I worked in the automotive industry, always hoping to one day become a teacher. This is a goal that I hope to accomplish within the next two years.
I had intended to move back to Illinois after I graduated from college, but my now husband had other ideas. He courted me and within no time, we were married. We worked through infertility, miscarriage, job loss, and many other life trials. The past year we have worked hard to move out of survival mode and into success mode. I have become a stay at home mom, taking the time to learn all I can, to change our lives. We have made great improvements, but still have a ways to go. I welcome you to join along in our journey.
My Beautiful Family
After years of infertility, miscarriage and sadness, we were blessed to have our two beautiful girls. They add joy to our lives and we could not imagine our life without them.
My husband is one of the good guys. I am very lucky that he kept after me, when I did all I could to run the other way. He helped me get over my desire for the Bad Boys I had previously dated and I am so blessed to have him in my life.

Arguably one of the most beautiful towers from Japan, the hyperboloid Kobe Port Tower is the receiver of multiple awards for architecture. Built in 1963, this Kobe landmark was designed to imitate, with its lattice structure, the shape of a traditional Japanese drum used in Kabuki and Noh theaters, the tsuzumi.
Located in the Meriken Park, the Kobe Port Tower is 108 meters tall and features an observation deck located 90 meters above ground, including a coffee shop and a souvenir shop and offering a spectacular view over Kobe.

Nov/Dec 2014
Ocean Installer, Norway, has been awarded a contract for SURF support work in Brazil for Saipem, Italy. The contract, which will see the Normand Clipper in Brazil for eight months, is valued at around US$50 million (GB£31 million), with options to extend.
"Ocean Installer will support Saipem with their installation of multiple steel catenary lazy wave risers, free-standing hybrid risers and export pipelines for the Iracema and Pre-Salt projects in the Santos Basin pre-salt area for Petrobras," said a spokesman. "The scope of work includes a wide range of services including survey, TDP (touch down point) monitoring, metrology, installation aid deployment/recovery and pre-commissioning."
Ocean Installer will make use of the construction support vessel Normand Clipper, which is suited for both shallow- and deepwater operations. The vessel has a DP2 system, 250-tonne crane capacity and 1700-square-metre deck.
UK-based Reef Subsea has announced it has been awarded a contract with AREVA Wind GmbH, Germany, to provide field support in the Global Tech I wind farm.
The project will utilise the Reef Despina, a multi-purpose DP2 construction support vessel, and will see the Reef Subsea team providing field support to AREVA Wind for the commissioning of 80 five-megawatt AREVA offshore turbines spread over 100 kilometres of coastline.
Duncan MacPherson, chief executive officer at Reef Subsea, said: "We are delighted to have secured this work scope with respected client AREVA Wind. We look forward to working with AREVA to add value to the Global Tech I project and build a long-term, mutually favourable relationship.
"This is the first project Reef Subsea has secured in German waters and we see it as an excellent opportunity to continue building on our exemplary track-record; as well as being the first step in our strategy to ensure we are in the optimum position for future German wind farm projects."
OceanServer Technology, USA, has been awarded a contract for one Iver3 AUV by the US Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) in Newport, Rhode Island. The system will include several Iver3 options just released including the Rowe Technologies, USA, SeaPILOT 600 kHz Doppler velocity log with ADCP.
"Rowe Technologies' SeaPILOT family of Doppler velocity logs represents some of the industry's newest and state-of-the-art acoustic Doppler technology," said an OceanServer spokesman. "The compact form factor and powerful electronics provide a versatile platform capable of producing precise bottom referenced velocity and/or current profile measurements for ROVs, AUVs and other submersibles.
"For vehicle navigation applications that require a custom fit like the Iver3, RTI provided four individual piston transducers along with compact electronics to facilitate repackaging into the AUV."
OceanServer's family of Iver AUVs are utilised for coastal applications such as general survey work, subsurface security, environmental monitoring, behavioural research and sensor development by both academia and military organisations. The vehicles are single man-portable and feature simple point-and-click mission planning. The latest generation of Iver3 AUVs will offer two different Rowe Technologies DVL units in 600 kHz and 1200 kHz configurations.
Unique Hydra, South Africa, reports it has been selected by Ultra Deep Solutions (UDS), Singapore, to design, build and integrate the dive system for a multi-purpose diving support construction vessel.
The new DSCV will be equipped with a 300HD 18-man twin bell saturation diving system. The dive system incorporates the latest mechanical and electrical design requirements and offers a first in the drive towards reducing the complexity of shipyard integration and installation time frames, according to Unique Hydra.
The new DP3, 142-metre vessel is designed to operate in up to 4000 metres water depth and is modelled on the proprietary 'Red Class 6027' MT design DSCV.
Mike Jessop, managing director of Unique Hydra, said: "We are aware of our client's requirement for a modern and reliable DSCV. The award of this project demonstrates our clients' confidence in Unique Hydra's in-depth technical capabilities, our strength in project execution and the considerable financial capabilities established through our corporate partnership recently formed with Blue Water Energy. We have increased our DSV solution capabilities over the last year and we are globally positioned to handle multiple DSV contracts. We strongly believe that over the next few years our brand and product will become the diving system of choice."

R&B superstar R. Kelly made his first public comments about his 13-year-old child Jay, who came out as transgender earlier this month on social media
Kelly was reacting to the news that his child is a transgendered teenager who now goes by Jay. Jay, who was born Jaya, made the announcement in a blog post on his Ask.FM account about two weeks ago.
"Don't even give the blogs that kind of credit. You know what I'm saying? Real talk," Kelly told the radio station Monday. "As far as that is concerned, always believe what you see with your own eyes that is. Always believe what you see. That is the best way to go about this business," the 47-year-old singer continued. "And I've heard a lot of things about a lot of people and it was never true." -He added, "You gotta know there's a back story. There's a background. That's why you can't judge nobody."
Kelly's rep declined to comment to ABC News.
Meanwhile, Jay has been open about his transition.
During a question-and-answer session on Ask.FM, he wrote that he has identified as a boy since he was "six or seven."
He also said he's eager to get gender reassignment surgery. "I believe I am a boy and want surgery, and the medication to help me [be] who I was supposed to be," he wrote.
Jay said he came out to his mother, Andrea Kelly, star of the reality series "Hollywood Exes," and that she and his older sister have been supportive.
"I told her because I knew she would love me no matter what, she has not once judged me in life," Jay said about his mom. "She always told me that she loved me and to be who I truly am."
Kelly divorced Jay's mother, his former backup dancer and the mother of his three children, in 2009 after almost 13 years of marriage.
The teen said his relationship with his famous father was "really complicated" and that the singer "has not reached out" since Jay made his announcement.
Kelly told WGCI that he supports his children, especially financially.
"You save money so your kids can go to college — no matter what they are or who they are," he said. "They're your kids, you gotta support them."
He added, "I have three lovely, lovely kids that I am in love with and that's in love with me."

What's the Problem with Screen Time? (London HKCC Community Forum)
The fourth theme of the Healthy Kids Community Challenge, beginning in Janury 2018, will focus on healthy screen use.
At this forum, community partners will have the opportunity to learn from local researchers about the various effects of screen use on children and youth, and the adults in their lives, and the best practices for behaviour and interventions to mitigate the negative impacts of screen use.
Featured Speakers:
Dr. Michelle Ponti, Child and Parent Resource Institute (CPRI)
The impacts of screen use on psychosocial and cognitive development, and the new CPS guidelines for healthy screen use.
Dr. Leigh Vanderloo, ParticipACTION
The impacts of screen use on physical activity and sedentary behaviour.
Dr. Danielle Battram, Brescia University College
The impacts of screen use and on-screen marketing on eating habits and unhealthy consumption.
The afternoon will also provide an opportunity for partners to help shape and provide feedback on the draft Theme 4 Action Plan. The Action Plan is based on the strategies and initiatives from London's Child & Youth Network 2017-2021 Agenda. Partners will be able to discuss how they can integrate the healthy screen use recommendations and best practices into their services, programs and workplaces.
Light refreshments will be provided.
Any questions, please contact William Roberts (London's HKCC Coordinator) at email@example.com or 226-980-6997.
See you there!

29 September
Formula 1 Petronas Malaysia Grand Prix – Practice – Friday
Weather: FP1: rainy/cloudy and wet, 25-27°C air, 27-32°C track; FP2: sunny/cloudy and dry, 30-32°C air, 39-45°C track
The Sauber F1 Team was unable to run through the planned programme during FP1 after the FIA delayed the session due to heavy rainfall. Charles Leclerc finished his first free practice session with the Sauber F1 Team in tricky conditions. Marcus Ericsson took over the Sauber C36-Ferrari cockpit from Leclerc for the second practice session, driving alongside Pascal Wehrlein in the afternoon.
Charles Leclerc (car number 37):
Sauber C36-Ferrari (Chassis 02/Ferrari)
1st practice: 16th / 1:55.280 min (10 laps)
"I am very pleased with my first experience with the Sauber F1 Team. Despite the tricky, wet conditions and a delayed session, I was able to complete ten laps, and enjoyed driving on this circuit. The most important thing is that the team is satisfied with the job I did. I look forward to driving again in Austin."
Marcus Ericsson (car number 9):
Sauber C36-Ferrari (Chassis 02/Ferrari)
2nd practice: 20th / 1:35.697 min (27 laps)
"In the afternoon I had to catch up on what I missed during FP1. I did manage to put a good number of laps together during FP2, however, we did not get the tyres to work properly. We have to analyse our data tonight and try to make improvements for tomorrow."
Pascal Wehrlein (car number 94):
Sauber C36-Ferrari (Chassis 04/Ferrari)
1st practice: 17th / 1:55.652 min (10 laps) / 2nd practice: 19th / 1:35.246 min (29 laps)
"Today was not ideal. I had issues with the brakes in FP1, which were solved during the session. It was, however, interesting to drive on the wet track – that always adds a bit of excitement. FP2 was somewhat better, but there is still a gap to our direct competition. We are working on improving for the rest of the weekend."

Why grey? What was wrong with the nice yellow icon
being used for bluecurve nautilus? The grey icon's
pretty awful and depressing.

Question about Tower Aloha Breeze Fan
Posted by eveoneson on
Hawaiian Breeze 12" Retro Table Fan, Oil Rubbed Bronze, FT30-9U3
Hawaiian Breeze 12" Retro Table Fan, Oil Rubbed Bronze, FT30-9U3
Hawaiian Breeze 12" Retro Table Fan, Oil Rubbed Bronze, FT30-9U3 a Comment
Add a Comment the switch knob came loose how can I put it back??
Unplug fan. Lay the fan face down. Remove the four screws holding the stand to the base. Slide the stand all the way off the cord. Look at bottom of fan and find the small half circle indent just to left of center. There is a screw there, remove it. Go to the hand grip at the top of the back and pry out the two white rubber plugs to reveal two more screws, remove them. Back cover can now slide downward. May take a little squeezing at the center of the grille where internal clip is. Remove two screws at top of squirrel cage. Turn squirrel cage and loosen screw at bottom collar on motor shaft. Tilt the top of the squirrel cage outward slightly and slide upward to remove the squirrel cage. You can slip upper metal bracket off and set aside. Motor is held in by two screws, remove them and flip motor out of the way. There are two screws below where motor sat that hold in base of front grille, remove. Front grille has a series of clips along edges, carefully pry them inward from bottom to top and push grille gently outwards. You can now clean the rear grille, front grille and squirrel cage in warm soapy water and allow to dry. While they are drying, use a vacuum and dust rags to clean interior. When parts are dry, reinstall front grille and reinstall 2 screws. Reinstall motor with two screws. Turn motor shaft so flat notch is pointing up. Recommend to spray a tiny bit of WD-40 or a tiny dab of moly grease on shaft at top of squirrel cage, then replace upper bearing bracket on top shaft. Slide collar end of squirrel cage onto motor shaft and align screw with shaft flat and tighten. Reinstall two screws at bracket at top of squirrel cage. Align back cover just a bit toward bottom, then slide upward and clips will snap into place. Reinstall two screws in hand hold area, then reinstall screw at bottom of cover at half circle notch. You'll need either a magnetic tip screwdriver or a pair of long needle-nosed pliers to get screw in hole before tightening. Feed cord back through base and reinstall 4 screws. It took me about half an hour to do this whole process on each of my two Hawaiian Breeze fans, but they now look brand new and run very quiet.

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
διακονέω diakonéō, dee-ak-on-eh'-o; from G1249; to be an attendant, i.e. wait upon (menially or as a host, friend, or (figuratively) teacher); technically, to act as a Christian deacon:—(ad-)minister (unto), serve, use the office of a deacon.
The KJV translates Strong's G1247 in the following manner: minister unto (15x), serve (10x), minister (7x), miscellaneous (5x).
to be a servant, attendant, domestic, to serve, wait upon
to minister to one, render ministering offices to
to be served, ministered unto
to wait at a table and offer food and drink to the guests,
of women preparing food
to minister i.e. supply food and necessities of life
to relieve one's necessities (e.g. by collecting alms), to provide take care of, distribute, the things necessary to sustain life
to take care of the poor and the sick, who administer the office of a deacon
in Christian churches to serve as deacons
to minister
to attend to anything, that may serve another's interests
to minister a thing to one, to serve one or by supplying any thing
Strong's Number G1247 matches the Greek διακονέω
which occurs 38 times in 32 verses in the Greek concordance of the KJV
Translations available: King James Version, New King James Version, New Living Translation, New International Version, English Standard Version, Christian Standard Bible, New American Standard Bible, New English Translation, Revised Standard Version, American Standard Version, Young's Literal Translation, Darby Translation, Webster's Bible, Hebrew Names Version, Reina-Valera 1960, Latin Vulgate, Westminster Leningrad Codex, Septuagint, Morphological Greek New Testament, and Textus Receptus.
