Fun with Vinegar-and-Iron Dye Stains
What am I laying down and leaving behind on the wood? And would this finish be something that would be good to use on an outdoor stained project as a replacement to a pigmented stain due to the fact that there is a chemical reaction taking place? Much of my work is exterior and I am continually looking for optimum finishes to handle the difficult weather conditions. I finish the works with D-Dur for UV protection, but I am curious as to the properties of this staining process and its potential value on exterior work.
Forum Responses
Another approach would be to get a stain made of lamp black or carbon black. Carbon won't fade. You can also have a shading lacquer made with LB in your D-Dur, which will help a lot with the UV resistance. You are getting UV inhibitor added to the D-Dur, aren't you?
From contributor L:
The iron reacts with tannins to create the greys and blacks. Your maple stain is created by rusting of the iron solution and is also an old traditional finish (often used by colonial gunsmiths). Woods such as oak will have more tannins and will blacken when treated with the iron solution. Otherwise tannins must be added to the wood to get a black reaction.
The old time gunsmiths would heat treat their maple stocks after treating them with the iron solutions. This method creates a sudden color change that is dramatic and interesting. It is especially effective for figured maple.

I'm interested in getting that gray weathered look on some red fir I'm using for a fireplace mantel. I read about the vinegar and steel wool with rusty nails. But when you say to "cook," is that as in heat? And for how long would you leave this brew standing?
From the original questioner:
I am delighted to hear that this would be an exterior finishing alternative. But in discussions with Chemcraft, I am sure the inhibitors were added to the D-Dur.
I was so excited by the colours this mixture of steel wool and nails was making that I immediately started using it on a wood sample for a potential customer. I added a pinch of black pigment and applied 7 coats of the mixture to a large ornate maple appliqué. Three coats of flat lacquer and the result was a deep rich brown that is just not yet black, with hues of reddish brown peeking through. Just gorgeous. I made a second batch without the steel wool and the colour was a faded grey. So I am going back to the original formula but will add the 7% acetic acid and see what happens. I was trying to achieve an ebony finish, but what I got was better and magnificent. I prefer it for the application.
Your replies have given me some real things to experiment with. I enjoy getting right out and trying these tips. Finding something new out about finishing is exciting. I am going to try adding the heat element to see what you described. That sounds like it could look amazing. Any more details on that process would be great!
I guess the down side could be that you will get vast colour variation, on large projects, from different reactions to each mixture and various cuts of wood. Controlling the colour could be a real challenge I imagine. The upside is that this is cheap and very rich looking. If you could get it down, it could be very applicable to a rustic exterior work.
My formula was specifically 3/4 of a mason charge of white no name grocery store vinegar, filled with Bull Dog 0000 grit steel wool. It sat 36 hours. I added 10 forged square head nails I purchased at Lee Valley. That was the reddish brown base and then I added a flat teaspoon of black pigment. 24 hours more and I off poured the juice and applied with a brush on maple.
From contributor L:
I have seen the maple finish done on a gunstock. The gunsmith I watched used a blowtorch to activate the color after wiping the iron solution onto the maple gunstock. He got a rich orange hue which appeared as the solution dried under the heat of the blowtorch. Since this technique dates from the colonial flintlock smiths (who favored maple), I am guessing that they would use whale oil lamps or candles/torches because I don't think that they had blowtorches at that time.
From contributor R:
You can get the same effect without all that work by using ferrous sulfate which is what you are making with the vinegar and nails. To get more of a grey or black you will need to pre-treat woods that have little tannic acid with a mordant of tannic acid. Tage Frid's book on finishing (3 book series) has some great chemical stain and mordant formulas for different wood species. (George Frank's book is very good also.)
From contributor C:
Caution: Know your chemicals before you use or recommend them for others to use!
Ferrous sulfate is not the same substance as acetic acid and iron/steel solved derivatives. Iron/steel acetic acid derivative is or forms a salt known as Iron ll acetate, AKA ferrous acetate. M. formula (CH3COO2) FE. It is a light brown or off white solid ionic compound of iron. It is highly soluble in water and is used as both a mordant and a dye.
Iron ll sulfate/sulphate, M. Formula (FeSO4) is a blue green crystal commonly called green vitriol, copperas, or sulfate of iron. Its uses are many, most commonly iron gall ink, grey wood and wool dye, dark greys when used with tannin, lawn conditioner, iron supplement, and other.
Ferrous sulfate produces greys on woods and will not produce reds or browns on wood unless it's reacting with something in the wood, whereas ferrous acetate will. You are better off buying small amounts of either and making weighed formulas of each for use as dyes or mordents, as the affect of each is quite different depending on the formula strength. If you have a small project that has to be an ebony stain, nothing will achieve it better than chrome mordant - Potassium Dichromate and hematoxylin/logwood - extract. Apply one coat PD, let dry, then a coat of Hematoxylin. Repeat steps again, sand 400 and then repeat again. Warning: chrome mordant is toxic. Read and use all safety precautions outlined. I have been using it safely for 38 years with no problems - be safe and do the same. Again - please do not recommend or use chemicals you are not fully familiar with.
From contributor J:
I was able to achieve that gray weathered look on my mantel piece, but now I need to seal it somehow without it darkening. I tried a polyurethane satin. It gave it a wet darkened look. Trying to retain the dried out grey look but still protect it from water or other spillage that could leave stains. This is a fireplace mantel in the house.
What is D-DUR and LB?
From the original questioner:
D-Dur is a 2 part urethane which is formulated for outdoor applications. It boasts UV protection, and the ability to allow wood to breathe, letting vapour escape while at the same time acting as a good barrier to moisture. Not really what you're looking for. It's a really tank and costly. As far as your flat finish, wax comes to mind as a potential solution.
From contributor J:
How about paraffin? Would that seal the mantel that I have grayed without changing the appearance?
From contributor C:
Any coating you put over chemical stain will change the color to some degree. This a problem with trying to obtain a certain color with chemicals. You get just what you're looking for, then it changes when coated. In my experience it is best to get a carnauba wax such as Mohawk's blue label paste wax natural and melt it over a double boiler and then add pigments, in your case mostly white with a touch of black. Let it cool while stirring and then let it set till next day. Then it can be applied by rag or brush and the excess wiped off. Steel wool will keep the shine down to a low satin appearance, giving it a natural look.
From contributor P:
Look up the Lee Valley Tools website. They sell good quality products. You'll find wax and some brush-on fast drying lacquers by Deft that create a real interesting flat natural look. Different grades of wax give different sheens. You should find some interesting info to view on different types.

Corn crop tours conducted by the U.S. Grains Council's China staff have found better-than-average growing conditions in the northern plain region, which includes Shandong, Hebei, and Henan provinces.
Shandong is the second-largest corn-producing state in China, normally supplying about 12.6 percent of the nation's output. Sam Niu Yishan, USGC assistant director, reports some increase in corn acres planted in response to the high corn prices earlier this summer.
The tours also found a major increase in vegetable production and more evidence of greenhouses being built to take advantage of better paying crops.
Drought conditions delayed corn planting in some areas, and the region south of Zhengzhou in Henan province had no good rains following planting. Recently, sustained heavy rains have had some effect on crop growth.
A new concern, especially in Shandong province, is an outbreak of cutworm moths (noctuids), brought on, according to some accounts, by leaving straw on the fields after the wheat harvest.
The outbreak has affected 1.25 million hectares (3.1 million acres) of corn and potentially reduced Shandong's corn yields by 5 percent this year.

Summer Days
Also, we've been swimming a couple days a week and yesterday I had some distinct, plantar-fasciitis-like heel pain after our swim. I do wear supportive footwear all the way to the pool, but shoes aren't allowed in the water so I was barefoot on concrete. I did ice my feet when I got home and babied them today while still getting my walking in, and thankfully, the pain has gone away. Scared me for a minute there!
I do wonder what I weigh, but at this point it is not worth it to me to play mind games with the scale. I weigh what I weigh, regardless of whether I know a specific number. I am sure I am not gaining because of the way my clothes fit. Eventually, when I feel the need to know, I will weigh, although I have been thinking about taking some measurements and comparing them to my last set of measurements.
I hope you're enjoying your summer too!

Does your pool allow water shoes? I have a pair that are like sneakers that I use to take and teach water aerobics after three knee and two foot surgeries, and they make all the difference! They're from Speedo and I got them on Amazon. If you explain the medical need, they shouldn't have a problem with it!

not sure, but I can ask! They have a sign up for no shoes, and I haven't seen any water shoes there but would be willing to wear them if they'll let me. Thanks for the idea!

text: My name is Samantha Wood and welcome to this piece of muddled world that is my thoughts. I'm currently completing a Literature degree from the University of California Sta. Cruz. Why Literature? Well, you have no idea how much I get asked with that question quite a lot. And as always, my answer remains the same: I love to read. This answer normally leaves the inquisitors more befuddled than ever. I don't really expect them to understand, because only a fellow reader will. I'm a great fan of English literature (perhaps even more so than American – ooops, sorry!). I adore William Shakespeare and no I'm not kidding. My favorite of his works is probably Othello. I worship Jane Austen. Seriously, who doesn't recognize this first line from "Pride and Prejudice": It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. No doubt, Austen is my hero.As for contemporary British lit, I like reading Wendy Cope. I understand that it's such a great departure from the seriousness of Shakespeare's plays to the lightness of Cope's poetry. But Cope's works are a great read. Her light verses never fail to make me laugh, and loudly at that. I hope to become a professor after I graduate, that is after or maybe during my Masters. I don't mind teaching in traditional schools like the one I'm in today or colleges online that I only hear of. In fact, technology and learning convened together appeals greatly to me. Who knows?

It is axiomatic that the goal of the foreign policy of the United States should be the advancement of the interests of the United States and not of any other country, no matter how sympathetic, including Israel. That said, should it not give Chris Matthews pause that his pointed anti-neo-con spiel has become indistinguishable from the well-rehearsed Pat Buchanan line on the matter? In a weird twist, Dem hyper-partisan Bob Shrum, a supporter of Israel, was the odd man out on this evening's Hardball.
To demonstrate my point, let's play a little game. Guess who made the following statements?
A. "The neo-cons are out there complaining that this president isn't tough enough. I have no idea what they mean. 50,000 dead in Iraq - it was supposed to be a cakewalk, Ken Adelman is out there today saying we should go other places, you have other guys that want to blow up every Arab country on the list."
B. "They want a wider war, especially in the Middle East. They want the United States to fight Israel's war against Hezbollah, Syria but especially Iran. But it's not in the interest of the United States. None of those countries - even Hezbollah and Hamas - have attacked the United States. I don't think the country is listening to the neo-cons anymore - they're discredited. The question is, is Bush listening to them? He was gone for a while, right up through the second inaugural, to a script they wrote."
C. "Frum wrote [the script]."
D. "When are we going to notice that the neo-cons don't know what they are talking about, they're not looking at this country's long-term interest? They're bound up in regional and global ideology. And they have had no experience, I'll say it again, in even a school-yard fight. They don't know what physical fighting's all about. I don't why we keep falling for it."
E. "The president fell for it after 9-11, when they put their little pre-cooked meal in front of them, after he knocked down Afghanistan. Wolfowitz and all the rest of them."
F. "I really certainly hope the president isn't listening to them, because I really question whether they have America's national interest at heart."
OK, answers please!
For the record, Matthews was A, C & D and Buchanan B, E & F. But the tone, and the not-so-subtle sub-text, were identical.

Fire & Rain
In the MRI tube, "Fire and Rain" pulses through headphones amidst the insistent rhythmic imaging racket. The music takes me back to 1970 walking along Main Street in Falmouth, MA. I went into the little record store two doors down from what is now the Pickle Jar Cafe but was Loreen's back then and purchased my first LP—'Sweet Baby James' by James Taylor. I hadn't has sex yet. I hadn't smoked dope yet. I wore a granny dress. I had long straight brown hair parted in the middle. I gazed into James Taylor's soulful eyes, imagining him gazing back at me from the wide portrait platter of cardboard cover, and later, listening to the record, was touched and moved by "Fire and Rain." I felt myself in my core. Even though I was young, naive, and innocent, yet to slog and soar through life's offerings, I knew who I was.
Tonight I gaze at the arc of white Star Trek tube. I am in terrible pain from the testing position—my legs taped together in a way that strains my hip injured sockets. I want so much to cry, but I can't move or I'll muddy the test results. I need to tremble and weep, and will later, but just now I clench my abdomen to be still. Later the nurse will help me lift my legs onto the table for a different test and I will think of how much my back hurt every time I lifted Dad's legs onto the hospital bed, but not caring if it hurt, wanting his comfort above my own. Foolish maybe, but also perfect. Waiting for pain to subside so I can stand and hobble out, I will miss him. I will think later on of how I've wanted to cry until my hip sockets empty out the pain of loving and losing.
Door to the Moment
I was the same person in 1970 as I am now. I don't mean that I haven't changed or learned, but in my core, at my essence, I've always known myself. How bizarre to realize this in the cool medical room late on Friday night in 2014. I don't miss what is gone, or what I was, or how I looked, or what I could do, or what I did, or what I had. I am content to have been there and no longer be there. I am not my life. I am something inviolate and eternal at my core, a place that billows into constancy in the Moment.
When I first heard 'Fire and Rain', a door to the Moment opened and I entered myself. It wasn't the song all by itself. It was that moment, in the granny dress, in the autumn. So what is life for? To recognize that what we live through comes and goes and isn't the true Self; it is series of decisions or responses to external challenges through which we veer farther from and closer to ourselves.
By New Year's Eve 1970 I would have lost my virginity and smoked my first joint. I would be fighting with my parents over which college I wanted while they stressed over the tuition costs. I would begin life out of the nest, but before all that, I had a moment with my true Self. Not the first and certainly not the last.
"As I Found the Source
When your soul was born,
it was like a still ocean that had yet to experience its infinite life.
God then came to the shores of our souls and gazed upon the
immaculate splendor that His divine heart created.
He then took off His clothes and dove into us.
Nothing on their own have
your arms ever done,
the movements of your feet
are caused by the waves She stirred.
Light baptizes life wherever it falls,
and every religion and all upon this earth is a shadow.
A shadow may move but it has no real power of its own,
though it can affect the weak and frighten them, and people can use
that darkness to exploit others.
As I found the source of all we do,
as I found the source of all our desires,
so humble God became She admitted:
"Yes, I caused all things."
—St. Teresa of Avila (trans Daniel Landinsky)

Wedding Videography and Wedding Cinematography are quite different.
A Wedding Videographer's primary focus is to capture and create a documentary-style record of your wedding day. Events throughout the day and evening are filmed presented in chronological order, and the film is usually supported by music. The cost of wedding videography is normally lower than cinematography as less equipment is needed, filming generally takes less time and the finished product requires less post-production time.
A Wedding Cinematographer is trained in the art of filmmaking and how to create visual stories with impact, meaning and purpose that hold their value over time. Cinematographers are skilful in the use of professional accessories such as Steadicam and sliders as well as lighting and audio equipment to enhance the mood and tone of your film. They also focus on capturing the evolvement of a love story with multiple cameras filming different moments simultaneously.

Tate and his father don't exactly get along. As Tate sees it, his father has unreasonably high expectations for Tate to be the best—at everything. Tate finally learns what he's being prepared for when he steals one of his dad's odd tech inventions and mercenaries ambush his school, killing his father and sending Tate on the run from aliens who look just like humans.
All Tate knows—like how to make weapons out of oranges and lighter fluid—may not be enough to save him as he's plunged into a secret interspecies conflict that's been going on for centuries. Aided only by his girlfriend and his estranged mother, with powerful enemies closing in on all sides, Tate races to puzzle out the secret behind his father's invention and why so many are willing to kill for it.
A riveting, fast-paced adventure, Scan is a clever alien thriller with muscle and heart.
"Car chases, explosions and action galore—awesome."—Kirkus Reviews on Scan
At the cliffhanger ending of Scan, Tate loses the very thing he was fighting to protect, what his father had called the key to human survival. Tate doesn't have much time to worry about it because he needs to get away, to ensure he and Christina are safe. His father left him one last thing that can do just that—a safe house, which turns out to be a clue to what's really threatening the planet. As Tate follows the clues his father left behind, he starts to uncover the truth, realizing he's up against an enemy he's only beginning to understand.
A riveting, fast-paced "we are not alone" adventure, Burn thrills to the very end.

Posing around, on, and near a piano, model Gerhard Freidl looks like a clean cut and dressed up pianist for Mixte Magazine.
The Mixte Magazine photoshoot was photographed by Jean-Francois Carly and shows lots of 3 piece suits, slicked hair and sweater vests. I wouldn't be surprised if Gerhard Freidl suddenly played an impressive song, he's just dressed so convincingly. Take a look at the Mixte Magazine musical photoshoot above.
Implications - While you're doing so, though, consider the incredible photo shoot concept and the different angles many of these shots are taken at. The vision of Jean-Francois Carly is evident in every shot. Gerhard Fredi looks fantastic, and the shoot is one that contains shot that will likely pop up in your dreams.

She here refers to our beloved Datuk Michelle Yeoh.
Why is this funny?
Try exchanging the "She" in the sentence with "Michael Schumacher", still makes sense right? We're talking marriage, not Ferrari team news here.
Anyway just for some humour, no hard feelings Dato Seri Jean Todt. I really do admire your achievements and your wisdom in business.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding and I wish you both a Happy Marriage, sincerely from Boss Lepton.

How much and which goods are acceptable to consume? Who should be entitled to more and on what basis? These questions have been raised throughout history with answers varying widely across time and space. They were at the centre of concerns over luxury in Ancient Greece and continue to inform modern debates on the environmental effects of consumption. At the same time they have also been subject to mundane discussions conducted around the dinner table about how much the family should save, what kind of wedding would be appropriate, and whether or not family members in torn jeans are acceptable at the dinner table at all. What are consumption norms about, how do they develop and why do they change? This book addresses these questions, by bringing together sociological, historical, anthropological and economic studies on consumption.

BAKU, Azerbaijan (Agence France-Presse) — The police in Azerbaijan's capital on Friday clashed with about 200 Muslim activists who were protesting a ban on the wearing of head scarves in the nation's secondary schools.
Police officers wielding batons fought running battles with protesters in the capital, Baku, as they broke up the rally outside the Education Ministry.
Video of the clashes posted on the Web site of Radio Azadliq showed officers beating some of the protesters with their batons and some activists fighting back with sticks.
Several police officers were injured, and 72 people were arrested, the police said.
Some of the protesters carried placards with slogans like "Stop Islamophobia" and "Freedom for the hijab."
The Muslim head scarf, or hijab, is prohibited under rules that define what kind of uniforms students must wear in Azerbaijan, a mainly Shiite Muslim country where the authorities have been seeking to prevent the rise of radical Islam.Continue reading the main story

Odd Molly Fall 2010 & Winter 2010 pieces are now available to view online and purchase in stores.
Odd Molly has always been really hit or miss to me, but the pieces I like, I really do like. The brand is pretty much the antithesis of my vision of good Scandinavian design, but its lace-y, romantic femininity (along the same lines as Manoush) is one few other brands execute so effortlessly.

|From We Heart it - not me...but kinda how I felt. :D
I'm kind of dreading Results Day though. I don't feel like I've done all too well on exams, but I hope my parents don't kill me or anything. *gulps*
Anyway, I feel like I haven't been blogging for way too long, though now I think about it, it's only been two weeks. There's been inactivity, I'm horrendously behind on reviews, memes and posting in general. And I've sadly lost a few readers because of that. I'm sorry!
I've also been tweeting...it's really addictive. And going crazy on We Heart It.
Anyway, here's what I've got planned:
- Book reviews! I sneakily managed to get a few books read during exam period...shh...
- Reading. I'm going to settle myself down on the beanbag and read, read, read. So excited!
- Blog Facelift. I'm attempting to simplify my blog, give it a cleaner, simplistic and nicer feel. Besides, I'm a fickle person. I need change!
- Book Contest Directory. I've been severly neglecting the BCD and leaving the hardworking Amber to take on the duties, but I'm going to try to get on top of that.
- Tutorials. Including a drop-down menu! Yay!
- Author Interviews. I'm going to try and feature some authors here through interviews and etcetera.
So here's what I was wondering. Do you guys have any good ideas for author interviews or questions you want to ask? Please let me know.
Anyway, expect Book Couture to get very busy in the next couple of weeks! And thank you for sticking by and staying tuned.

The main aim of rehab centers is to help addicts access top quality treatment. This will be done by helping addicts find the appropriate treatment program that suits their circumstances and ensures the problem is dealt with completely.
There are allot of substance addiction treatment centers in South Carolina that it may be challenging to make a choice. Some options available include inpatient and outpatient facilities that offer treatment on a short or long-term basis. A treatment program that takes a longer period is more effective.
When a person ingests any chemical, the liver breaks it down into metabolites that are stored among the fatty tissues of the body. These metabolites will later cause the recovering addict to long for the drug they have been using. This happens when the body begins to burn down fat. This is the reason most recovering addicts may relapse.
Rehab centers take care of this by taking the addict through detox to remove residue of the drugs from the body. This is achieved by combining a proper diet, physical activity, sufficient sleep, vitamins, and physiological detox. After this process the patient is in the same physical state as before the addiction.
For effective rehab, centers do not focus on just one aspect of the addiction. It should spread the focus on physical, psychological, and social aspects. In most cases a person is driven to the use of drugs by some issues in life. Centers equip patients with skills that will help tackle the issues of life instead of seeking temporary shelter in drugs that will have adverse effects to health.
An addict who has gained the confidence of living without the need to use alcohol or other drugs can be released from the center. However the program should leave an option for the patient to come back for any help in case they encounter any problems that might cause them to relapse.
Addicts are shown how to resist the influence of others into using drugs. The addict is also educated on how to detect relapse and prevent it. The result of the program is to have the person being able to perform normally. The program will evaluate the progress of the addict in the recovery process and how their life is improving as a result of the treatment.
If you or a person close to you has an addiction do not hesitate to seek help 800-303-2482. Many people fail to get assistance for fear of being stigmatized. It is not easy overcoming substance addiction and it is even harder to do it on your own. Make use of rehab as it is available to you.

Wordpress site setup/configuration - repost
My Wordpress website is at: [url removed, login to view]
I am updating this project as I feel I could have been more detailed in my explanation of my project:
1) I really need the banner that is attached to this Project posting, finalised. it's a simple job and the banner has already been designed for me. But! lol I've struggled to resize it for my theme.
2) The banner is the only thing I want done!! However because it's such a small task I'm asking for I felt a developer who specialises in Wordpress initial configs may have suggestions for my site after taking a look at it. So when developers bid 200 pounds I freaked a bit! lol So suggestions were what i was hoping for. :) after all I can get plugins to do most of the work for me. but if someone could get it all up and running with the plugins I've chosen......... that'd be a big help.
3) I like the theme, so I don't want that changed. but if a developer informed me of small tasks to make my site secure and ready for big spikes in visitors when I publish my book in a years time, that'd be a great help.
4) i was really hoping the work could be done in stages. I'm on disability benefits in the Uk and am willing to spend 200 pounds on my site, but broken down into stages makes more sense, especially as I only really want the simple task of the banner positioned correctly! . But can't see what the money will be spent on at this stage. But if a developer said "OK, banner and logo and maybe a html newsletter template matching the website for 50 pounds as "stage 1". Then maybe advice on certain plugins and configurations to get RSS, social media all integrated and setup ready to go as "stage 2" I could go with that.
5) I can do all these things myself but it's time and I'd like to gain trust in a developer that can use in the future for small job (or big) to save me the headache!
..........here is my original project post .............
I need a hand to get the site up and running ready for visitors. I figure a person who specialises in initial configuration of wordpress will be ideal. If we get along I will need on-going support. Knowledge of effective widget, plugins and navigation tools to make a user's experience of my site, a smooth and pleasant event is beneficial. I've also only just noticed a friend can't see the flash slideshow on his ipad. I do hate apple!! That'll need looking into if easily fixed.
I initially only wanted to get the Banner and logo completed, but further thinking leads me to think other house-keeping tasks will need completing before allowing the site to be reference by Google's search engines (in a couple of moths). I used a company from [url removed, login to view] to design the logo and banner for the site but resizing the Banner to fit has been a struggle for my limited Photoshop skills! I need to spend more time on writing articles.
I have been playing around with this site for a year now, on and off. I plan to finish a book and a documentary about workplace bullying at a very large company that has so far been covered up. I suspect the site will initially receive many hits (it's an explosive series of events I plan to expose) when I finally publish my book and later my documentary in late 2013 or early 2014. I work on the site sparingly but want to start to post articles on self-realization and bullying.
Advice on what I will need to produce a well-structured and secure wordpress site especially full-site backups which I do daily to Google Drive.
I have little funds but figure the work can be done a bit at a time over the next few months.
I have included the Banner and Logo files in a .zip file that the previous company completed for me (who haven't answered my emails..... so far).

On Being Human
I spent the better part of an afternoon yesterday sitting with my neighbour, Deb, on her deck in the gorgeous sunshine. Just to be clear, this is Saskatoon and so as much as I moan about the length and depth of our winters, I will try to paint an equal and accurate picture of the absolute beauty of our summers. Though all too fleeting, there are days when the weather just dictates you work as fast as you can and escape early to get out and enjoy it.
So, yesterday, Deb and I were catching up after a few weeks of her working all too much for my liking. I mean, seriously, she should consult my social schedule before booking on for so much work but I guess, she is in the business of saving lives so sometimes, I suppose that takes priority.
Regardless, in the course of just an afternoon on the deck, we discuss all manner of things and pretty much try to squeak as much life out of summer as we possibly can plan. Paddle boarding and roller blading remain at the top of our to do lists with regular deck sitting and backyard campfires thrown in for good measure. Impromptu bbq's and dinners take place with amazing regularity and there can be any number of friends and family and coworkers invited in with just a text message.
We were talking about how lucky we are, and we know it, that we live with neighbours who've become family around us. It's something that Jason and I don't take for granted, having moved many times, and it's probably the number one reason we stay where we are. So, mid winter when it turns from credit to blame, the reasons remain the same. Good neighbours. Good friends. Knowing that these are hard to replicate...though we've been lucky over the years, we aren't going to chance it for the sake of moving.
The other night, Deb had been working out of town, our across the street neighbour, Bobby, just pulled in from his work out of town and suddenly, the driveway became an impromptu party. Deb described it as being "the exact place she needed to be, regardless of not having a formal invitation, and she knew that if we moved the party inside or to the backyard, that too, was where she needed to be."
I can't think of a better picture of community. Knowing that we have all become this little haven of family in the midst of suburbia. We live well amongst each other and we have each others' backs. A few weeks ago, Bobby went all stealth on a truck that was parked in front of our house for an unusual amount of time with two guys sort of just staring at the place. Seriously, neighbourhood watch should have this guy as their poster boy. He not only was just about to go out and confront them, he took note of the vehicle and told us right away when we got home that night. Our yard is often filled with kids other than our own who come and jump on the trampoline, bring their dogs to play with ours, and just generally run in and out of the yards in our neighbourhood as if they were all their own. Some people would hate that, and I can probably include our back fence neighbour in that, for he has to put up with all the noise and chaos, but I love being the house on the street that kids can hang out at and feel at home.
So, this week, as I read the news of a horrific attack on Marlene Bird in Prince Albert this week, I feel sick. And guilty. And some hopelessness. For all the beauty of community, if it only stays in the suburbs or includes our closest friends and neighbours, it's not enough. We start with that and move it into the reach of all we share our city with. We take what we learn about loving one another and sharing with each other and standing up for each other and we need to spread it into our respective circles and cities. As much as our amazing little community fills a space in each of our lives, we also go into our city and are able to give to others out of what we've been given. I'm not saying we've perfected it or that we are always intentional, sometimes it just grows out of having a safe and secure place to land. Marlene Bird needed that place of safety and security in its simplest forms and she wasn't afforded it. Please notice I didn't say she couldn't afford it...the onus is on us to be community to those around us.
Marlene's community has let her down. Not just the homeless community or social agencies in watching out for her, as some would like to blame, but the greater community of humanity - those that recognize her on the street, those that know of her from her long presence in the city, those who give her help occasionally, and those that drive by her and try to ignore her and those she represents. Marlene is a woman, a fellow human, someone who hasn't hurt or invited this sort of pain into her life. She is now fighting an incredibly painful fight for her life. As part of her community, we need to support her and others in vulnerable positions, as though our very lives depend on it. For in reality, our lives may not, but our humanity certainly does.

She says her parents were atheists, even though they didn't label themselves that way. "It's almost like growing up gay," she says. "You know you're different."
In high school, she sang in the chorus but mainly worked on behalf of population and women's issues. Her senior yearbook picture shows a post-Twiggy blonde; benath is a quotation from the humanist George Bernard Shaw: "The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them but to be indifferent to them."
Indifference wasn't Johnson's problem; she wanted to save the world. She majored in environmental science at Ramapo College and earned a second degree in political science and a master's from the New School for Social Research in Manhattan. She was headed for law school when, she says, "I got tired of school." It wasn't until Johnson saw O'Hair on television in 1978 that she discovered herself. "Oh, that's what I am," Johnson recalls thinking.
Today, Johnson lives in predominantly white and Republican Rockaway Township and drives her children to soccer games, piano lessons, and dance classes in a sports-utility vehicle. She swears that it wasn't her plan to be American Atheists' savior. After O'Hair disappeared, the board of American Atheists drafted Johnson, telling her that the organization wouldn't survive without her leadership. It was still a close call.
By the time O'Hair vanished, at age 77, the best days of American Atheists were long gone. Many believed O'Hair had driven her organization into the ground. In fact, her disappearance quickly became as enthralling as her presence had ever been. Countless news reports put O'Hair in Mexico, New Zealand, even Tahiti, living the good life on money donated by credulous freethinkers.
The most likely theory is that Madalyn, Jon, and Robin were killed for money, according to the assertions of authorities. Whatever happened, it left American Atheists rudderless, and Johnson stepped in to remake the organization in her own image. She says American Atheists now has 2,500 members, an increase from the group's low of 1,400, though still a far cry from the fanciful 70,000 that O'Hair liked to claim. But further gains may be hard to come by.
For one thing, America remains a fiercely religious country. An estimated 95% of Americans consistently profess a belief in a higher power. Social surveys from the past 20 years indicate less than 1% of Americans consider themselves real atheists, certain that God and an afterlife do not exist. And atheism, like Marxism and pacifism, remains a luxury of the privileged. Atheists are largely white, older, and well educated; hardly any minority members or anyone under 50 attended the Piscataway convention.
The movement has been damaged by squabbles among various secularist groups, feuds once fomented by O'Hair, who managed to alienate even her own followers. Tensions erupted in the early '80s when O'Hair, during the last American Atheists national convention in New Jersey, disbanded all state chapters. Most urgent now is straightening out the financial mess O'Hair left behind. "I want money and power, and I am going to get it," O'Hair once wrote in her diary, and she allegedly fulfilled her ambition on the backs of her followers, plundering the organization's accounts to support a lifestyle that included $1,000-a-day vacations, mink coats, and expensive cars. Yet she still owed more than $250,000 when she vanished.
Johnson says the group's finances are under control and that she can attract members by focusing American Atheists' agenda on the church-state issues that have proved critical to lobbies like the American Civil Liberties Union. But she may be too late. While American Atheists floundered, other secularist groups established themselves as serious advocates of the cause. In contrast, Johnson's group comes off like a bunch of wacky cousins.
In the end, success for American Atheists may depend on a reinvention of the O'Hair formula: relentless self-promoting. History shows that atheist movements in America usually grow up around charismatic leaders and die with them. Johnson hopes to avoid that fate by courting the public without offending. "Right or wrong, I'm just not comfortable being antagonistic," Johnson said.
She needs to work on her execution, though. When "Nightline" producers rebuffed Johnson because she attached a series of conditions to her planned appearance, she fired off a dense four-page protest that included remarks like, "Why should American Atheists provide ABC with millions of dollars in advertising revenues?" Any whiff of criticism of her or O'Hair provokes complaints about society's dislike of strong women. "The emphasis is always on the negative.... It's like how Barbara Streisand always gets trashed," Johnson says during an interview at a Staten Island, N.Y., studio where she tapes "Atheist Viewpoint," a cable show. The studio is the only venue where she has agreed to answer questions, and only after lengthy efforts to secure her cooperation. She explains that the burdens of being a working mother leave her no time.
"It's seven days a week, morning, noon, and night," she groans, referring to her job with American Atheists, which pays a meager $10,000 a year.
Complaints notwithstanding, Johnson vows to keep the faith. "My atheism is something that I hold very dear to my heart," she says. "It has enriched my life and made me a better person, which is why I have spent the last 20 years of my life working to share the 'good word' or 'good news' of atheism, to put a twist on a typical religious phrase."

The Campaign for Grade-Level Reading (CGLR) recently announced its Pacesetter Honors and Kansas City made the list! Pacesetters are communities who are leading by example to solve challenges that can undermine early literacy; including school readiness, school attendance, and summer learning. Pacesetter communities are part of a national network of over 300 cities, representing 42 states. This is the fourth year in a row The Campaign recognized Kansas City for our progress towards achieving 3rd grade reading proficiency for all students.
Through applying for the All-America City Award in 2011, Turn the Page KC emerged as a vehicle for discussion on how to increase the number of students reading at grade level in Kansas City, Missouri. Mayor James recognized the importance of 3rd grade reading early on in his first term and launched Turn the Page KC as one of his top economic priorities. Since the beginning, Turn the Page KC has served as a facilitator, convening the most important stakeholders in early childhood and elementary education around the urgent challenges our kids face. Our goal is to build consensus and align priorities so that our community can strategically impact the birth to third grade pipeline and beyond.
Since Turn the Page KC's inception in 2011, the number of 3rd graders reading at grade level has grown from 33% to just over 50%. In 2012, the percentage of chronically absent K-3 students attending Title I schools decreased from 15% in 2012–13 to 12% in 2015–16. Over the past five years, summer programs have enrolled more than six times the number of students in its academic enrichment programs and significantly increased their reading scores.
CGLR communities are dedicated to narrowing the achievement gap between children from low-income families and their more affluent peers. Reading proficiency by the end of third-grade is a milestone on a child's path to high school graduation and career success because it marks the transition from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." Students who have not mastered reading by that time are more likely to drop out of high school and struggle throughout their lives.

Here's the latest at All That Music & Video as featured in this month's issue of Fusion Magazine. Browse to page 21 to read about the current state of the music industry.
Fusion Magazine Feature
Documentary short featuring "Record Stores Across America"
A huge Thank You to Corey Johnson from Columbus, Ohio. We thought Corey was just another tourist and paying customer at closing time some two weeks ago. It was late and we were tired & hungry from a long day, but Corey persuasively asked George for a quick interview. Corey apparently has a passion for independent music stores across America and produces videos on his favorite topic and hobby. This time it would be an opportunity for El Paso to shine.. He captured it all in a little over five minutes. What a professional job! The comments at the end are also positive. Good to see that the rest of the country gets to see that El Paso is on-par with similar stores in other cities. Thank You Corey for this unsolicited and unexpected marketing tool for our store and our city.

I really Hope you help me guys in this, In my company we want to place 3 TV's in each floor , a total of 6 Tv's to show announcements and important information for employees , mostly powerpoint presentations .
and I was looking for the best way to connect the TV's wireless and control the screen by a single server computer, we have existing Wireless network, if that doesn't work, we can have a new wireless network for this issue no problem.
I've searched for that this week and no luck to find out a solution , most of what in the market is limiting the streaming to apps and youtube and so on. I thought about NetGear push2tv but not sure of how it works.
the reason is we can't but any new cabling , but if the wireless solution is impossible, what is the best other way to play Powerpoint presentations on these screens ?
thank you in advance

Usb flash drive in each TV port?
Or affix a wifi-enabled tablet with Office type app on each, each attached to respective TV via HDMI.
Or, convert PPT to video and then stream "like the rest of us".
You understand about the bottleneck with bandwidth here, right?
Introductory guide to ffmpeg streaming http://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/EncodingForStreamingSites
from hardware perspective - it can be something like this http://www.amazon.com/Android-Google-Player-Internet-TV-HDMI-Stick/dp/B008V7PB9O or perhaps slightly better http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-CL1130-Fire-TV/dp/B00CX5P8FC
Actually, I think you were already on the right track with the WIDI-type stuff (Netgear push2tv). Ppt running in a loop (easy to set up), onto "secondary" monitor (also easy in ppt) which happens to be the widi streaming source, widi receivers pipe it via hdmi into the tvs. Must make sure source pc is compatible with widi, and buy one widi receiver for each tv, but that should cover everything.
Oh, and you might also need stronger wifi (repeaters), if you are spread far and on multiple floors.
Understand, of course, that in order for this to work, the pc is doing both realtime ppt playback, realtime compression, and realtime streaming, so get a HIGH powered pc. And hopefully the compression used is up to your standards. In fact, I would suggest doing a live scenario test/demonstration to your satisfaction before buying.
Joethe5th.... your need a "mirroring" solution.......
Find out if AirParrot can handle 6 simultaneous endpoints at the same time.
If so, then you just need to get one Apple TV to connect to each of your Television sets..... and you're done.
@True Colors, AirParrot is basically just what I was already talking about, just a different brand (using the AirPlay protocol instead of WiDi). Had it worked, I would have agreed with your suggestion. However, as the AirParrot support site shows:
Can I mirror to multiple AppleTVs? No, AirParrot isn't designed to do this. We're looking into ways to do this in the future....
That is too bad about AirParrot being limited to one endpoint. I looked for that information on their website but did not see it.
Meanwhile..... Skype might be a good solution for this
The TV's will need to have Skype capability already built into them....... or else the TV's will need to have a skype capable device connected to them.

Distance makes the heart...
There are two possible conclusions to that phase. Distance either makes the heart "grow fonder" or "go yonder." And a lot plays in to determining which direction it goes.
My experience ended the best way possible, but there are a lot of reasons why that happened. People used to ask me how I handled being 800 miles away. But that was how we met, we didn't know any different the first 2 years we knew each other. And that helped. If we'd started closer and then been that far apart our story probably would've had a much different ending. The heart would've gone yonder. But that's not to say that the distance made the heart grow fonder initially. Because it didn't do that either.
Long distance relationships have several challenges in common with regular at-hand relationships, but they also have their own set of problems. And at the same time they also have some of their own advantages.
Here's just a few of those challenges and advantages from my own experience.
- The relationship is based on communication, because that's all you have. I've been in relationships that were based on the physical, and that always implodes. I've been in relationships that had no base, and those fall quite fast. But learning how each other communicates can be huge.
- Some people develop multiple personalities when they communicate through technology. Who you think you are communicating with might not be the person you'd communicate with in real life. That's not so much a problem with the distance as it is with the person. I'm actually very wary of people who act one way on-line and a completely different way in real life. It feels like a lie to me. If someone says "but I'm real nice in person" I don't want to be friends with them.
- Speed. There generally isn't any in a long-distance relationship. You get time to think and for things to develop. Leaping before looking is much less likely (as long as you aren't psycho and up and move right after meeting).
- Speed. There isn't any. There are so many things about a relationship that develop through the day-to-day of life and they just can't happen over a distance. Distance allows you to not see each other at the end of a bad day at work. It means that when you are together you are at your best, your house is clean, and you put on your first-date behavior each time.
- Depending on just how you communicate, your entire relationship can be documented in writing. We used email and instant messenger mostly and it is real fun at this point to go back and read those.
- It is real easy for one person to make more out of the relationship than the other. While this is true of any relationship, when you have more time to think between interactions, when you don't have the intricacies of body language to help you interpret what is being said, it is very easy to misunderstand each other.
You can develop good friendships over a distance. But if you want more out of the relationship, you just have to be closer. The distance part of our relationship gave us a solid friendship built on communication, but when my life brought me closer we still had to build our friendship all over again, this time based on life.

LFD Launches a Free Vacation Bible School on Long Island
"Gospel Hands" Vacation Bible School (VBS) is an exciting 4-day program being offered this summer by Lutheran Friends of the Deaf. Free of charge to Deaf children and their siblings (ages 6-12), this unique VBS will be held at the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection in Garden City on August 16-19, 2016.
Since 1947, Lutheran Friends of the Deaf (LFD), the founding member of the Mill Neck Family of Organizations has made it their mission to serve the spiritual needs of those who are Deaf, locally, nationally and around the world. And while they serve Deaf individuals as far away as Ethiopia, LFD's first and foremost priority is to serve individuals right in their backyard of Long Island.
With a generous grant from the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS), LFD was able to develop and launch this special program. LFD also teamed up with the Lutheran Women's Missionary League (LWML), who awarded a grant that funded the development of "Bible Story Books"—a series of 12 written and ASL Bible Stories for children. Using the Bible Story Books as the basis of the VBS curriculum, LFD will bring the Gospel into the lives of children by combining American Sign Language, expressive artwork, the written word and video.
Language and cultural barriers have often left the Deaf population in isolation, especially when it comes to learning the Gospel. Christian Deaf ministries estimate that only 1 percent of Deaf adults will attend a Christian church. Through "Gospel Hands" VBS, as well as other programs and social events, LFD aims to reach hundreds of Deaf individuals on Long Island, greatly increasing the percentage of those who attend an LCMS church and also actively participate in this community.
Advance registration is required to attend the "Gospel Hands" VBS. The program's hours are from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. Lunch will be provided and financial scholarships for public transportation are available for those with a demonstrated need. Please visit millneck.org for more details or contact Deaconess Tiffany Manor at firstname.lastname@example.com or 516-628-4229.

When I was young there were old people; lots of them. My grandparents generation were a funny lot; they'd been through a couple of world wars and a great depression; they dressed in tweed and plus fours, wore hats and pearls, and generally stuck within rigid gender boundaries. Barring a few eccentricities being old was clearly defined and meant something much more than the number of years they'd been on planet earth.
Though I loved the older members of my own family, and knew plenty of their friends too, as a teenager and beyond it struck me that they really were from another world. They had difficulty empathising with my teenage angst and the rights of passage through which I passed. They always asked remarkably strange questions about my way of life and made observations which frequently left me cringing. Their idea of "looks nice on you" and mine were diametrically opposed. They spoke about "courting" and "walking out" and assumed that every boy or girl you brought home would signal wedding bells.
What becomes apparent as I look through my family history is that life before the Second World War was very different. You were a child, then you were an adult. You got a job, got married and had children. In that order. Those were the rights of passage that my grandparents knew. Life was all very formal. They didn't have teenage years of pop music, getting pi**ed in friends back gardens, going to gigs, teenage sects, university, years out, flat shares, cohabitation, s**** experimentation, cr*p tv and all the shenanigans that fills the lives of fifteen to thirty year olds these days. They just didn't share that and it was all too obvious.
However our parents did and as I watch their generation, now grandparents themselves, I don't see them making the same basic errors; they're much more in tune with their grandchildren and the lives they lead. In many ways that is a surprise as my nieces and nephews are growing up in the world of social media the potential of which makes me look back on my own teens and shudder at the social disasters I would probably have exposed myself to. But those are just different pieces needed to play the game; in essentials the game is the same.
And though that generation are now well in their sixties and seventies those concepts are still fresh and relevant; they get where young people are coming from and if they've bought into tech, so much better still. Our parents could be mods or rockers; they knew about "being careful"; they screamed at pop stars and wallowed in muddy fields wearing next to nothing. When they had their clothes on they were bang on trend. The language may be different but they get it and that's all for the good.
I can't imagine now that the younger generations look upon their elders with the same combination of fear, awe and bewilderment that I once did. For them; old people don't really exist; of course there are a lot of people who've been around much, much longer but no real old people with buttonholes and boiled sweets. I wonder if my nieces and nephews would agree with that? Maybe I should ask them… Talk to the younger generation? Grumble, humph.
