Edit: Unfortunately, the images originally included in this post are gone, because of hosting problems in late 2009. My apologies.
For a long time now I've been looking for something between Dillo and Iceweasel (which I find a little faster than straight Firefox). I want to like Dillo in the same way I want to like Fluxbox, but Dillo never does it for me. It tends to spatter things across the page, and the whole GTK1.2 interface is just plain ugly. I'm usually willing to sacrifice looks for speed, but in Dillo's case, I can't do it. It's too sloppy.
On the other hand, Iceweasel/Firefox do everything a competent browser should do, but they don't do it fast enough for me. The memory footprint is heavy and they seem to lurch along without noticing how cumbersome they are. Sure, I can get Java and Flash and all the extensions I want, but even in their purest states, they seem to drag. Sometimes just scrolling down the page can cause some stutter. Come on! 👿
About a month ago, Brunellus mentioned Kazehakase in a thread and I installed it briefly, then got sidetracked and forgot all about it. He mentioned it again in this thread, and I'm sold now. It's clean, it's fast and it doesn't chunk along on my 1Ghz machine.
It's not as full-featured as Iceweasel/Firefox, but I'm learning to tweak it. It does tabbed browsing, which I won't live without any more, and it handles GTK themes, which I won't live without any more. It has a lot of neat things that I can learn to love — like thumbnailing closed pages and keeping them in a sidebar, so you can find one you closed a while back — and I'm sure the things I don't like will turn out to be manageable. (It also has a neat Snap-like effect of throwing up a popup thumbnail when you hover on a link. Kewl! — er, I mean, cool!)
A few downsides, as there always will be: Edgy's version is only 0.3.8, and as of this writing, the current build is 0.4.4.1. Feisty gets 0.4.2, so I can't jump to cutting-edge-stable unless I go with Feisty. I see that 0.4.4.1 is in AUR, so I might use it on my next ultralight Arch setup.
I also would like a few more privacy options, like clearing the cache on closeout, or not keeping a URL history. I have a feeling I'll find those options somewhere, either in a newer version or when I play with it longer.
So this one gets a great big thumbs-up from me. Lighter and faster than Firefox and Co., but a stronger browser than Dillo (or links 😉 ). This one is a keeper for me.

CHICAGO -- Chicago Board of Education President David Vitale says he's pleased that teachers ratified a new contract.
The school board is expected to approve the contract later this month. The Chicago Teachers Union announced Wednesday night that 79 percent of the union's membership had voted in favor of the contract.
Vitale says the board and union can send "an incredibly important message" to students that opposing sides can find common ground. He also says the board supports teachers' work.
The three-year contract includes a new teacher evaluation system and better opportunities for teachers to keep their jobs if their schools closed.
It also includes an agreement on how to implement a longer school day.
Teachers walked off the job Sept. 10, idling about 350,000 students for seven days.

Tooling Update
Bend Tooling Upgraded
Using a simple design, the Accu-Bend transfers the vertical motion of the press into a smooth one-motion rotation. The smooth rotation provides a rotary-bend process that uses less tonnage and applies less strain on the material, according to company officials.
Accu-Bend tools include a tool-steel rocker in a steel saddle with a graphite-plugged aluminum-bronze liner. The units hold bend-angle tolerances of ±0.5 deg., and can overbend by as much as 120 deg. Use the tool to make these and other bends: square and over- or under-square, Z, channel, hat and J.

Extending Unemployment Benefits Would Create 300,000 Jobs, Report Says
WASHINGTON -- Extending the current level of long-term unemployment benefits for another year would add 300,000 jobs to the economy, according to a report from the Congressional Budget Office.
The analysis released Wednesday from the nonpartisan office estimates that keeping jobless benefits would cost the government $30 billion. But it would also lead to more spending by the unemployed, boosting demand for goods and services and creating new jobs.
Federal long-term unemployment benefits are set to expire on Dec. 29 for more than 2 million workers unless Congress approves an extension. Democrats have called for reauthorization of extended benefits, but Republicans generally oppose more jobless aid without additional spending cuts to offset the cost.
More:Unemployment Rate Falls In 75 Percent Of States''This report is more evidence that extending help to those who are seeking work is a better investment for our economy than extending tax breaks for those resting comfortably atop the economic ladder,'' said Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas), a member of the House Ways and Means Committee.
Regular jobless benefits generally last up to 26 weeks for eligible workers who lose their jobs and are seeking employment. Since the recession began in 2008, the federal government has offered up to 47 weeks of additional benefits.
The CBO report found that for every dollar of jobless benefits that the unemployed spend, there is a $1.10 boost to the economy.
Any deal on reauthorizing some or all extended unemployment benefits is likely to be part of ongoing negotiations over avoiding the ''fiscal cliff'' tax increases and spending cuts that could send the economy back into recession.

MONDAY, Sept. 7, 2009 (HealthDay News) -- Certain depressed patients who suffer from heart disease have nearly double the risk of dying over a seven-year period compared with other depressed patients, researchers say.
The patients most at risk are those who suffer from the most severe depression within a few weeks of being hospitalized for a cardiac event, such as a heart attack, and those whose depression doesn't get better within six months, according to study findings published in the September issue of Archives of General Psychiatry.
The study authors noted that about one out of every five people who survive a heart attack hit a patch of major depression over the next few weeks. Depression has been known to boost the risk of death after an acute coronary syndrome event, such as heart attack or the chest pain known as unstable angina.
In the new study, Dr. Alexander H. Glassman of Columbia University Medical Center and the New York State Psychiatric Institute in New York City and colleagues examined the medical records of 361 participants in a study of antidepressant use after heart attack.
Regardless of whether the patients took antidepressants, those whose depression didn't improve within six months were more likely to die: 15.6 percent of those whose depression improved died, compared with 28.4 percent of those who had little or no improvement, the researchers reported.
"Depression is a syndrome with multiple pathways to a similar clinical picture. In patients with active coronary heart disease, it seems likely that the association with depression is a two-way street, and each can aggravate the other," the study authors concluded.

this guy's tool is supposed to do the job.
Check the notes towards the bottom of the page.
The guy has made quite a few of these patches before and I expect what he says is accurate.
I'll probably give it a shot on my Late 2011 15" MBP, which since I bought my wife a newer 13" has been sitting around not getting used much.
The notes say that I 1) won't be able to use the discrete GPU and 2) will need to expect some display anomalies. Once I have time to try it I'll report back.

Record Big Oil profits, gut-punching gas prices at the pump, and $4 billion in yearly government oil subsidies. To President Obama, that confluence confirms what he's been saying all along: America needs to start coming clean from its oil addiction.
"Look, we know there's no silver bullet that will bring down gas prices or reduce our dependence on foreign oil overnight," Obama said in his weekly Saturday address. "But what we can do is get our priorities straight, and make a sustained, serious effort to tackle this problem."
The unseasonal gas price spike – averaging $3.57 for February nationally– threatens the nation's fragile economic recovery. But Obama's decision to use the moment to push his "all-of-the-above" approach – subsidizing the developing of alternative energy sources like wind alongside more measured oil exploration – carries real political risk.
The Monitor's Weekly News Quiz for Feb. 18-25, 2012
It certainly is providing political opportunity for Republican presidential candidates, who are promising that their plans for more domestic drilling, including off the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards, continued subsidies, and regulatory relief could bring prices to below $3 and would mean, as candidate Newt Gingrich said Thursday, that "no future president will ever bow to a Saudi king again."
"We'd almost feel sorry for Mr. Obama's gas-price predicament if it weren't a case of rough justice," the Wall Street Journal opined on Friday. "The President has deliberately sought to raise the price of energy throughout the economy via his cap-and-trade agenda. He is now getting his wish, albeit a little too overtly for political comfort."
To be sure, the reasons for the price spike are complex, tied in large part to rising tensions in the Middle East between Israel and Iran. And predictions that gas could reach $4.00 a gallon nationally by summer comes even as the US has increased its domestic oil output, despite a lengthy drilling ban after the 2010 Gulf oil spill.
But another key cause, experts say, is the Fed's answer to the country's lending woes, leading most recently to promises of near-zero interest rates through 2014, a policy that has weakened the dollar's value even as it attempts to drive up lending in order to revive the economy. Since oil is traded in dollars, that "easy money" monetary policy is helping to drive up the market price of crude, now hovering at around $120 a barrel.
Republicans blame the administration's policies for halving the number of drilling permits, nixing the Keystone XL pipeline that would have brought Canadian shale oil to US refineries in Texas, and promoting government investment in risky and unproven alternatives.
Republican presidential candidates have been quick to bring up the recent bankruptcy of the administration-backed solar energy firm Solyndra and have mocked vows by the President to use algae and chicken manure to help the country become more energy-independent.
"President Obama's own Energy Secretary, Steven Chu, has said, and I quote: 'Somehow, we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe,'" Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson of Texas said in the Republican Saturday address. "Well, this Administration is certainly trying their best to do just that."
The President acknowledged Saturday that high gas prices are an unwelcome hurdle for struggling American workers and business owners, noting that "high gas prices are like a tax straight out of their paychecks." But he also added that "Americans aren't stupid" and will see through quick-fix Republican ideas aimed not at long-term energy policy, but short-term campaign points.
"You know there are no quick fixes to this problem, and you know we can't just drill our way to lower gas prices," the President said. "If we're going to take control of our energy future and avoid these gas price spikes down the line, then we need a sustained, all-of-the-above strategy that develops every available source of American energy – oil, gas, wind, solar, nuclear, biofuels, and more. We need to keep developing the technology that allows us to use less oil in our cars and trucks; in our buildings and plants. That's the strategy we're pursuing, and that's the only real solution to this challenge."
Nevertheless, consumer confidence and Obama's reviving approval ratings are at stake should gas prices continue to hover at the $4 mark, Chris Christopher, an analyst at the economic forecast firm IHS Global Insight, told the San Francisco Chronicle.
"The one thing that's a real downer to Americans is gasoline prices," he said.

I love the idea of a guerrilla-style wedding at one of the most magical places in NYC: the Metropolitan Museum of Art! Would have loved to have stumbled onto that quick ceremony. More details below…
Nick and Suzanna swiftly led us through the maze of the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the location they'd selected a few weeks before. A ten-minute ceremony, a kiss, and a signature. Done. Married. No permission, no permits, no catering decisions. Absent-mind museum-goers stopped in their tracks as they grasped what they'd stumbled upon. Many paused to watch from afar and applauded timidly as the newlyweds kissed. I waited for the security guard in the corner to interrupt, but as long as we didn't try to walk off with the Lichtenstein, no one seemed to mind; sitting on the staircase appears to be a much bigger offense in The Met than a little guerrilla wedding ceremony!
Suzanna on Lichtenstein's Stepping Out: "We wanted a contemporary piece that resonated with us. It does. It's about love and the complexities therein without being too simple or too dark. There is a balance and truthfulness in the piece that, I think, struck a cord with both of us. Also, it just looks really cool and very much meets our aesthetic."
Suzanna asked her mom to send her the bracelet and her dad for one of his handkerchiefs to complete her Something Olde, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue. Her father included an arrowhead and a silver dollar minted the year he and her mother were married, all of which she held during the ceremony.

Tap Out Cancer
A 501c3 non-profit organization that empowers the jiu jitsu and grappling community to raise funds for cancer research, to force cancer to tap out once and for all.
Learn more at http://www.TapOutCancer.org
Tap Out: A combat sports term for yielding to the opponent, and hence resulting in an immediate defeat.
Tap Out Cancer is a non-profit organization with unique branding needs. Our mission is to empower the jiu jitsu and grappling communities to raise money for cancer research. The funds raised go directly to organizations like the American Cancer Society, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and others like it.
Because the brand will be aligned with the jiu jitsu community, which is very closely related to mixed martial arts, the brand will need to walk a tight rope of contradictions. However, jiu jitsu and grappling are NOT the same as MMA. There is no striking, so using visuals like punches, kicks, or gloves won't make sense.
The branding will need to be tough to fit in with jiu jitsu and grappling communities, but sensitive enough to represent a non-profit. Some other adjectives to describe the brand are strong, determined, honorable, united, and proud.
The branding will need to be modern, since our company will be very much web-based with a social fundraising element, yet not so Web 2.0 that it would look strange to see someone grappling in a t-shirt or shorts featuring the logo.
The branding needs to represent a charity but include elements that represent the jiu jitsu and grappling communities that community members can relate to. Some ideas might be the jiu jitsu belt or figures actually grappling. I don't want it to digress to a grungy style that many MMA brands seem to adopt. We need to represent a company that other corporations will feel comfortable partnering with.
The branding should establish us as a legitimate MMA/Grappling brand that reflects the hard work, sweat, blood and tears that go into training. It should represent that same struggle to find a cure for cancer, and how supporting Tap Out Cancer will accomplish this on behalf of our community.
It's not necessary, but I'd like to have both an icon (abstract/pictoral mark) as well as a type treatment within the logo. The icon could be adjacent to the type treatment or used within the type. Let your imagination go.
The branding will need to be able to work across various mediums, but particularly online and on apparel and merchandise. Many of the donations will be in the form of apparel, merchandise and equipment sales for use in grappling, like t-shirts, shorts, rash guards, gi patches, bags and typical business uses.
I'm partial to the color red, especially since a red belt is the highest honor in jiu jitsu and no effort less than that will cure cancer. This is not required though. I'm open to other color schemes.
This is not to be confused with the MMA apparel brand "TapouT". We are in no way affiliated with them and don't want our branding to bear any resemblance to theirs.
Note that Tap Out is two words.

Like coffee? Like cycling? Get this.
If starting a ride with a strong espresso is a good thing, then starting a ride with an espresso drawn from beans supplied by an ex-pro cyclist must be a double-plus good thing, right?
Damn right.
Magnus Maximus Special Viking Blend coffee is the creation of Magnus Backstedt, a pro cyclist for 13 years, whose palmares if you didn't know already includes Tour de France stage wins, a prestigious Paris-Roubaix victory, and Swedish national and time-trial jerseys. Now retired he lives in Wales, is a consultant for the Garmin-Slipstream team and works on his own cycling development squad.
A bag of Viking Blend coffee is available as whole beans or ground for either espresso or cafetiere use. Because we're posh and slight coffee-snobs with our own espresso-machine and grinder we opted for the beans, and snipping open the smart silver packet with the cool sticker on and stuffing a nose in there for that first intoxicating whiff the beans smelt deep and powerful, yet smooth, with no sharp or bitter after-notes, this bodes well.
Fire up the Rancilio.
Through the coffee-machine the beans produce a most excellent crema which again is a good sign. It's a reassuringly strong coffee with a punch hefty enough to fire you out the door on a drizzly training day but not so harsh that it puts a crust on your freshly applied chamois cream. Taste is warmly full-bodied yet smooth with buttery almost subtle honey textures. A handsomely rounded yet sturdy coffee then, just what we like. Any comparison to the 6' 4" bulk of the coffee's creator would be churlish here.
Brewing up on the stove-top made a less sophisticated shot, as is always the way, but it's still a pleasingly chunky brew, and remarkably resistant to burning while you're pumping tyres up instead of watching the pot.
Pricing is comparable to other 'proper' coffees, and as an extra bonus all of the proceeds go towards helping young riders as the Magnus Maximus coffee foundation directly funds the MagnusMaximusCoffee.com continental pro team. So every time you have a cup of coffee you're helping the future of cycling, you know it makes sense.
Magnus Maximus coffee is also available on subscription; sign up and a bag will be delivered to you on a weekly or monthly basis as you wish. This may be dangerous.

We learned last week that the political football that is the Abraham Lincoln Hotel and Conference Center will be officially punted by the state of Illinois on Dec. 14. The downtown hotel will go to the highest bidder at auction that day. We greet this as good news, though perhaps not so much in the way that many observers and political aspirants do.
We learned last week that the political football that is the Abraham Lincoln Hotel and Conference Center will be officially punted by the state of Illinois on Dec. 14. The downtown hotel will go to the highest bidder at auction that day.
We greet this as good news, though perhaps not so much in the way that many observers and political aspirants do.
Here's our take: Selling this property will probably put it back in the hands of a national hotel operation with a strong national marketing and management structure that will help it better contribute to the local economy. With the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum now bringing tens of thousands of visitors downtown each year, the former Ramada Renaissance has a potential guest base that was unimaginable when it first opened in 1985. A national outfit is better poised to take advantage of such an asset.
As a secondary benefit, it should give the state back something from its $15.5 million original loan, which now stands at $29.9 million with unpaid interest. It won't be the total amount, of course, which isn't good for the state. But it's better than what the state has been collecting on it for the last quarter century, which is roughly nothing.
A distant third on our list of benefits is what we will probably hear most about regarding this transaction in the upcoming political season.
"It was built with taxpayers' money but benefited only those with powerful political connections. Well, those days are over," said Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias, who also is a candidate for U.S. Senate, in announcing the auction date.
We're not here to excuse the deal that got the state to this point. In hindsight, which is always perfect, there was ample warning in market research that this downtown hotel could be a perennial money-loser. But as the rhetoric heats up in the coming weeks and months about the hotel, its investors, its eventual sale price and the state's loss on it, we think some context is in order.
While Giannoulias is correct that political connections helped get this project off the ground, the benefits to the original investors are questionable. The 86 investors organized by William Cellini put up $7 million of their own money. A selling point at the time was that this was an ideal tax shelter for the investors that would help the local construction industry, which at the time was suffering under a crushing recession. But when the hotel went into foreclosure last year, the investors had to pay those years of tax depreciation write-offs back to the IRS.
Because of Cellini's involvement, there is a perception that the Springfield hotel was a unique deal handed specifically to one person. In reality, the Ramada Renaissance (and two other hotels that met similar fates) was financed through the Insured Mortgage Pilot Program of 1982, a $100 million state program launched in response to high interest rates and unemployment. As a major construction project, it provided "economic stimulus" for Springfield long before "economic stimulus" was the household term it is today.
"I thought it was good for the city. In 1983, the building trades were about 25-percent unemployed. Since the people of Springfield were good to me, I thought this was a way of returning something to the people of Springfield," Dr. William Strow, one of the original investors, told The State Journal-Register in 2007.
Was the Ramada Renaissance a good deal for the state? Absolutely not. Is Springfield better off with it there now? Probably.
Many of the officials who had roles in the Ramada Renaissance story over the years will be on the ballot in the 2010 elections. They include Gov. Pat Quinn, Giannoulias, former Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka and perhaps former Attorney General Jim Ryan. Voters are sure to hear this issue spun to the advantage of or hurled against those candidates in simplistic and sensational terms.
But a closer look at the context of this deal reveals that heroes and villains aren't so easily defined — much as candidates would like to have us think otherwise. We urge voters to resist the super-simplified interpretations of this issue that are sure to come their way as campaign season heats up.

Re Charles's comment >If these are provided by an image, and the equivalent can be formatted >according to user preferences, then I think that it satisfies the user >requirement but not WCAG. > >I am not sure that alternatives can be formmatted in existing user agents. I don't think it satisfies the user requirements for people with some degree of low vision, especially if the font size is relatively small. As for formatting alternatives in existing user agents: If it's simply text inside an image, you can always piece it together using a table and image fragments. Some such images get ugly when the font size gets bigger, or when font color and background are changed, but that's better than not being able to change font size or color at all. (also, this technique breaks down if there's pictorial detail immediately behind the image, but we should avoid that anyway since it decreases legibility) There are some buttons that can't be formatted this way, e.g. if the text is written around the circumference of a circle. But in that case the page can't get a double A rating, IMHO. Of course when once we can count on browsers implementing CSS positioning, we can simply position the text in front of any image we please. And once we have good suport for SVG and accessibility thereof, we'll have much more flexibility. Len >On Tue, 26 Sep 2000, Leonard R.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 153 diseños de 49 diseñadores freelance.
USENIX Association
The USENIX Association is a membership organization that serves its community primarily by organizing technical conferences and publishing a bimonthly magazine, conference proceedings, and short topics booklets.
We began in 1975 as the original UNIX users group and now have over 5000 active members in USENIX and its special interest group for system administrators.
Our membership is mainly comprised of sysadmins, engineers, and computer scientists with diverse interests ranging from security, through file and storage technologies, to operating systems design. We serve everyone from very serious top-tier academics to the Star Wars loving uber-geeks you see on TV and in movies.
Our logo needs to represent USENIX as a modern, technically advanced, professional, yet fun organization. We strive at building a strong sense of community within our various markets.
The logo should be sophisticated, but not stuffy in order to appeal to our diverse community which ranges from serious to causal.
We would like the logo to include a unique graphical representation with out using clip art or stock photos. Our current logo uses just letters, and we'd like to avoid that in the future.
The logo must work well in both a Web and print format. The logo should not rely solely on color as the distinguishing element; it will be used as much in greyscale format is it will in color.
We should have versions that include our tagline: The Computing Systems Association and some that don't.
The files should be created in Adobe Illustrator CS3 or lower. Please save all files in native (.ai) format, not .eps, and outline all fonts.)

The CalEarth campus in Hesperia, California has been a center for research and teaching since 1991. A walk around our campus is a walk through the historical evolution of SuperAdobe building technology--many buildings have been standing for over 20 years and we continue to watch and learn from them. The building designs range from a small emergency shelter for one person that can be built in a day to form temporary villages, to a 3 bedroom 2 car garage home, all built using the same principles.
Eco Dome
The Eco-Dome is a 400 square foot structure featured on HGTV Tiny House Hunters and CNN. It is a spacious and energy efficient "tiny" home that includes a rocket mass heater and a passive cooling system called a wind scoop. The Eco-Dome is engineered to surpass all structural building codes and has been permitted and built in various locations worldwide.
Eco-Dome is a modular design, and commonly built as a "Double Eco-Dome" to provide additional bedrooms. Some examples of the larger design can be found on the Superadobe Worldwide page.
Blueprints and Engineering for the Eco-Dome are available for purchase.
Earth One is a 2,000 sq. ft home including 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a 2 car garage in a 9 vault design. Earth One was fully permitted by the building department and received a residency permit in the City of Hesperia in 2007. The walls are built with SuperAdobe and the slabs are stabilized earth poured over a form which is then removed and re-used to build the next vault. Earth One features all the standard amenities (heating, air conditioning, fire place, full kitchen) to demonstrate the ability to integrate standard technologies into SuperAdobe architecture. The building also features a radiant floor slab heated using solar panels placed at the back of the house. Earth One is a modular design, and comes in multiple configurations with varying numbers of vaults depending on the size needed. Blueprints are available for sale, we recommend speaking with your local building department before purchasing.
Earth One was featured on an episode of HGTV Extreme Homes in 2014.
The "Water Village" is the first of two emergency shelter villages at CalEarth. In July or 2001, a visit from the United Nations headed by the Director of the UNDP Emergency Response Division with his team from New York, participated in a CalEarth workshop for these emergency shelters. They each slept in one to experience their quality. Their very positive response was recorded by the Reuters World News Agency.
Each dome in the village has a slightly different design to show the versatility of SuperAdobe, but also the simplicity. These small domes can each be built in about one day with 5-7 builders with only basic on-site training. They can be stabilized and plastered or just left unstabilized for temporary shelter in a disaster situation.
In our "Core A" Dome Building and Core Curriululm 4 day workshops students learn to build these small shelters.
Fire Village
The fire village was built one dome at a time by various workshop groups over a three year period. Many of the domes in this village include some of the first ever rocket mass heaters built at CalEarth (some work better than others!) as part of our ongoing research to integrate sustainable systems into this architecture. There is also a sweat lodge design, a shower dome design, and other concepts being tested out for temporary/semi-permanent community living spaces. The goal is functionality and to allow different spaces for private use and community use that can all be built very quickly by the individuals who will be living there.
In our "Core A" Dome Building and Core Curriululm 4 day workshops students learn to build these small shelters.
Haiti One
After the devastating earthquake in Haiti in 2010, CalEarth was invited on a research trip to design a possible temporary housing alternative for individuals who lost their homes and were living in tent villages. After speaking with many families living in these camps, we returned a designed a structure based on their requests. As an alternative to our single dome designs, this structure includes a 10 foot main dome with 3 small apses, one for a sleeping nook, one for a cooking surface, and one for storage. It also includes a rocket stove, a recycled door made from pallets, and small window openings using PVC pipes. Two separate groups returned to Haiti and built multiple domes for families who lost their homes--see the Relief Initiatives page for more information.
Water Vault
The "Water Vault" was named by a group of long term apprentices who completed this single, standalone vault in 2015. In our advanced long term program offered in the Spring, students who have completed our apprenticeship program have the opportunity to design and build a vault similar to this. The vault includes a south wall designed for maximum solar gain, as well as an insulated floor slab to retain heat and maintain consistent temperatures. The door is made from recycled wood and the glass design uses recycled bottles.
You can watch the time-lapse of this vault being built over 21 days as well as see additional photos and information shared by the apprentices involved on their Facebook group page here.
Triple Vault
The triple vault was the first vaulted structure built at CalEarth in the early 1990s. The walls are all individual sandbags (unstabilized) and the vault slabs were poured in small 3-4 feet increments. This building was tested in 1995 and passed the full set of seismic tests required in the state of California. This design was later evolved into the Earth One design, which uses the same stacked vault layout to create flow between spaces without the need for hallways. The Triple Vault also features the first wind scoop built a CalEarth, a passive cooling system that brings in the air and circulates it throughout the space without the need for an air conditioner. The Triple Vault is submerged 3 feet below grade, a design that is especially useful to combat the extreme temperatures in the Mojave desert.
Mars One was the second sandbag structure built at CalEarth in the early 1990s using individual rice bags filled with sand (unstabilized). In 1984 Nader Khalili presented at a NASA symposium for lunar and martian construction, sharing his ideas of both ceramic style architecture (link to ceramic houses book) as well as "velcro adobe" which later became the SuperAdobe building system. Mars One was a prototype for a lunar/martian colony design, and includes a handmade skylight and a small sitting nook as well as a fireplace. Mars One was also the first structure to include "reptiling" plaster, the small earthen balls used to cover the exterior of the building providing an extra layer of protection and eliminating smooth surfaces prone to cracking. Just like many of the buildings at CalEarth, this structure has been left in its original form to observe and research over time.
Sculpture garden
In 2015 two CalEarth alumni with a background in fine art, Laura Smith and Caitlin Deane designed and built a sculpture garden at CalEarth. Their goal was to create a space that fosters community, interaction, and conversation. These three art installations are all built with SuperAdobe technology and push the flexibility of the bags, shapes and forms. Laura and Caitlin wanted to explore what the earth bag is capable of, and inspire others to see how earth architecture can be simultaneously playful and functional. The sculpture garden became an instant hit with our children and adult visitors alike!
Other Structures (Non-superadobe)
Rumi Dome
The Rumi Dome is named after Nader Khalili's favorite Persian poet, Jalluladin Rumi who lived nearly 800 years ago. This dome was built by a handful of students with no masonry experience and a paintbrush extender mounted to the center as a compass. The bricks were all donated from the Higgins Brick Company as they were all reject bricks (incorrect size, shape, color). The design for all the holes and spaces was meant to simulate a film strip so as you turn in a circle you can see outside consistently. The design also allows for climbing the dome from the outside, one of the most favorite activities for all our youth (and adult) visitors.
The Rumi Dome at Hesperia Lake was built as part of a Museum and Nature Center project planned by the City of Hesperia in the mid-1990s. While the plans ultimately shifted, the Rumi Dome still stands 20 years later. Larger than the Rumi Dome at CalEarth, this dome features two entrances and multiple rows of colored glazed bricks in beautiful symmetrical designs. While CalEarth now focuses exclusively on SuperAdobe building designs and technology, Nader Khalili spent many years studying traditional adobe and earth architecture to fully understand its benefits and capabilities. Khalili would call his structures "tangible poetry" and always shared his fascination with the universal elements of earth, water, air, and fire and how these elements combined could create beautiful and inspirational forms.
The Strawbale Dome was built in the late 1990s as a research project by students to try and combine more than one of the natural building systems. As a hybrid design, this 25 foot dome includes walls built from SuperAdobe up to 6 feet high, and then the remainder strawbale. The Ceramic windows were designed and built by a student, as was the door which is made entirely out of recycled materials.
The first sandbag dome at CalEarth was built using 60 lb rice bags filled with pure earth. The material was untamped and unstabilized, and each bag was individually sewn shut. Nader Khalili used to tell a famous story about how one day a group of fire fighters drove by and wondered what was happening so he invited them in to see his work. After a conversation with the fire fighters about their use of sandbags for flood control, Khalili realized his builders had been laboring intensely to fill the bags then lift them in place whereas the firefighters place them, THEN fill them! From this moment forward Khalili began teaching the "coffee can technique" which allows the bags to be filled in place one coffee can at a time, making it simpler for any one to build their own home.

Great car for what it is designed for.
By Tony on Sunday, March 10, 2019Love this car! However, it's just a tad small for me and my uses. Backseat is tight for adults. Center armrest is weak--broke once. Dealer replaced it. Other than that, good reliable transportation with most of the bells and whistles....very safe car too, I feel.

CX-3 Perfect for Boomer Empty Nesters
By CX-3 Boomer on Monday, February 27, 2017Volkswagen bought my diesel Golf TDI back so I started looking around for a car I could buy with the cash (I was willing to chip in the tax and fees). To accommodate the Colorado winters and the dirt roads we find every time we explore a new mountain trail, I wanted AWD. I am boomer-aged so no kids to worry about, just my wife and maybe the dog. In reality, I would drive the car mostly alone, perhaps with my golf clubs and push cart in the back. And I am very picky and like luxury features. I live in a town where if you dont own a Subaru you pay a special tax. I already have an Outback so test-drove a Crosstrek. I went up the canyon and did not get very far before turning back to the dealership. That CVT engine is weak on hills and handles like a stagecoach. I decided to spend some time on research, where I discovered the CX-3 and its generally high marks. I test drove the car after a decent snowfall and loved its AWD handling, not to mention the very cool interior. Two weeks later, I bought the car and asked the dealer to install the interior lighting kit and the soft cargo liner. If you dont know about the latter, check it out. A liner attaches over the rear seat headrests and fully covers the back of the rear seats and the entire back area (a clever use of Velcro). So, when you put the seats down, the entire carpeted area is protected. At the same time, there is also a section that can be draped over the bumper to protect it while taking things in and out. This is perfect for a middle-aged guy like me who hauls golf clubs and a push cart fairly regularly. Nothing in the car get dirty except for this easy-to-clean liner. Enough on that - this is an enjoyable little car to drive. Plenty of zoom-zoom to keep it interesting, and an AWD system that is impressive in various conditions. I am an audiophile and find the Bose system satisfactory - better than most but not quite custom. The interior is stylish and comfortable. The seats hug perfectly, the seat heaters will toast you to a blush. The safety features (I have a fully loaded GT) will match any on the road. The first time your headlights automatically turn to bright will impress you, and the walk-away locking system is so sweet. I am not so enamored of the Navigation system but have never had one I liked. At least the interface is attractive and easy to read. Ive owned the car for just over a month in a stylish Front Range town. In that time, I have seen just ONE other CX-3 on the road. This I love, as seemingly every other car is a Subaru or RAV4 or CRV. Its still new, but I love it and believe I will for years to come.

Love my CX-3!
By Archie on Tuesday, January 19, 2016I had purchased a CX-5 in 2015 and was drawn to the CX-3 when it came out. I traded in the CX-5 on a Grand Touring CX-3. The vehicle is just awesome. It has finally given me a reason to drive for no reason, just to experience the excellent driving dynamics. No doubt about it, the car is small, so if hauling people or gear is important to you, look elsewhere. The styling, inside and out, is fantastic. I have so many people ogling it and asking what it is. I have only driven it about 200 miles so far, so I cannot rate its reliability. If you want an eye-catching vehicle that begs to be driven, this one might be for you. So far, I am loving every minute with this car and often go outside just to look at it.

Forum Post: Updated / Illusive + Lulzsec
Posted 6 years ago on July 7, 2013, 11:50 p.m. EST by AntiPoverty
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
So many economists, financial experts, investment firms, all see the same thing. Problems that should bring asset prices down. Things that would normally cause economic downturn. But they have been disappointed for the last 3 years, waiting for the consequences. Are they all crazy? I mean... they see indicators, they look for reasons why things aren't making sense. It's just that, well... nobody can put their finger on it. You know, "it!". That thing that would explain the markets working outside what they learned in school, throughout their professional careers. So what is it? This is the question I am stuck with myself. I have no doubt the Piper will be paid, he always gets his in the end. I'm just curious what is holding together a financial sector that doesn't have the revenue to justify it's gains. Looking at the earnings and revenue revisions for each quarter over the last 2 years, you can see they are actually in decline, from commodities to tech, ect...
I suspect that with a decline bigger than the Great Depression, we will see an equally huge fraud scandal unfold. I hate to sound like a nutter but there is no way to hide this without the help of the media and our governments. Maybe this is what Michael Hastings from CBS was on to. It sounded absurd to me when I first heard it and it still sounds so over the top, but it's actually far more believable than the record profits on WallSt while every quarter they claim gain and revisions show loss.
Is it worth losing the faith of the American people, to support a handful of stuffy rich assholes?

Gardening expert Rick Darke strives to create "liveable landscapes" using both natives and exotics
You won't find the word invasive — at least in connection with plants — in gardener, award-winning author, photographer and consultant Rick Darke's vocabulary. Meet him on March 2, when he makes the trek from his garden oasis in Pennsylvania to Annapolis, and you'll hear about balancing natives and exotics in the garden. His talk and slide show come at just the right time for gardeners thinking about spring plantings.
For Darke, what to include in one's garden comes down to functionality, support of diversity and resource demand. All three need to be balanced, he says. That means gardeners need to understand the traits of the species they intend to plant, along with how they behave in the local ecosystem: What kind of soils do they prefer? How much water do they need? What other species, such as birds and insects, do they shelter and feed? Ignoring these questions is akin to sending a Texan to live among the Inuit.
Functionality as well as beauty should guide good gardening, says Rick Darke.
Darke often asks audiences whether they have plants five years in the garden. Ten? Twenty years or more?
Few people have experience in that last category. Yet plants that survive that long are often best suited to their particular microhabitat, ecosystem and local bioregion. These are the kinds of plants that thrive in the local soil, support neighboring species and don't demand a lot of human labor or other resources, such as water or chemical fertilizer.
Functionality — as well as beauty or latest fashionable cultivar — should guide good gardening.
If your property slopes to the Chesapeake, for example, you may want the meadow look that coneflowers provide. That's fine, says Darke, if the gardener can accept using the pink (Echinacea purpurea) or the white (E. angustafolia), two coneflowers that will reseed and last for years. But if nothing will do but the latest coneflower cultivars that come in different colors, those plants will last only a couple of years because, like many hybrids, they lack good fertility. In that case, a better choice may be the Asian vinca. It's not native, but it will hold in the soil, prevent runoff and doesn't require a great deal of maintenance.
Darke's talk benefits Unity Gardens, which makes grants up to $1,000 to community groups undertaking greening projects in Anne Arundel County. Projects include outdoor classrooms, reforestation and rain gardens, among others, says executive director Barbara Dowling.
Saturday March 2, 11am-12:30pm (refreshments served from 10am; book signing afterward) at The Key School, 534 Hillsmere Dr., Annapolis. $55; rsvp: www.unitygardens.org.

Public Health Statement for n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine
September 1990
This Public Health Statement is the summary chapter from the n-nitrosodi-n-propylamine. It is one in a series of Public Health Statements about hazardous substances and their health effects. A shorter version, the ToxFAQsTM, is also available. This information is important because this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other chemicals are present. For more information, call the ATSDR Information Center at 1-800-232- 4636.
1.1 What is n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine?
n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine is a yellow liquid at room temperature that does not dissolve in water and evaporates slowly. It is a man-made chemical made in small amounts for use in research. There is no evidence that n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine exists naturally in soil, air, food, or water. Small amounts of n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine are produced as a side reaction during some manufacturing processes, as a contaminant in some commonly available weed killers (dinitroaniline-based), and during the manufacture of some rubber products. When exposed to sunlight, n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine usually does not last for more than a day. Without sunlight (e.g., in water deeper than sunlight reaches or in subsurface soil) n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine breaks down slowly. It takes between 14 and 80 days for one-half of any certain amount of n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine to break down when it is released to the subsurface soil.
1.2 How might I be exposed to n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine?
Persons may be exposed to n-Nitrosodi-npropylamine by eating foods treated with nitrite preservatives (e.g., cheeses, cured meats) and drinking certain alcoholic beverages. n-Nitrosodi-npropylamine forms in the stomach during digestion of nitrite-treated foods and foods that contain certain amines, particularly di-n-propylamine. Amines occur in some medicines and in a variety of foods. Levels of n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine found in food and alcoholic beverages range between 0.03 parts per billion (ppb) in fried, salt- preserved fish to 30 ppb in cheese. The general population may be exposed to n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine in cigarette smoke.
Workers making molded rubber products have been exposed to levels of n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine in workroom air that were measured in parts of compound per trillion parts (ppt) of air. Workers applying contaminated weed killers may also be exposed to extremely low (ppt) levels of n-Nitrosodin- propylamine. At this time, n-Nitrosodi-npropylamine has been found in at least 1 of 1177 hazardous waste sites on the National Priorities List (NPL) in the United States. Workers and the general population at these sites could possibly be exposed to this compound by skin contact, breathing, and eating contaminated items.
1.3 How can n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine enter and leave my body?
n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine can enter the body when a person breathes air that contains n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine, or eats food or drinks water contaminated with n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine. n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine is not likely to get into your body unless you eat certain foods, drink alcoholic beverages, or are exposed to it at a waste disposal site by breathing n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine vapors. It is likely that n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine can enter the body by direct skin contact with wastes, pesticides, or soil that contains it. Experiments with animals suggest that if n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine enters the body, it will be broken down into other compounds and will leave the body in the urine.
1.4 How can n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine affect my health?
The effects of short- or long-term exposures to n- Nitrosodi-n-propylamine on human health have not been studied. Little is known about the health effects of short exposures to n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine in experimental animals except that eating or drinking certain amounts of this chemical can cause liver disease and death. Long-term exposure of experimental animals to n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine in food or drinking water causes cancer of the liver, esophagus, and nasal cavities. Although human studies are not available, the animal evidence indicates that it is reasonable to expect that exposure to n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine by eating or drinking could cause liver disease and cancer in humans. It is not known whether other effects, such as birth defects, occur in animals or could occur in humans exposed to n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine by eating or drinking. It is also not known whether exposure to n- Nitrosodi-n-propylamine by breathing contaminated air or contact with the skin can affect the health of animals or humans. Liver disease and cancer due to exposure to n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine by breathing or skin contact are, however, a possibility and a health concern.
1.5 Is there a medical test to determine whether I have been exposed to n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine?
The presence of n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine in blood and urine can be measured by chemical analysis, but this analysis is not usually available at your doctor's office and has not been used to test for human exposure or to predict possible health effects.
1.6 What levels of exposure have resulted in harmful health effects?
As discussed above, no information is available on the health effects of n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine in people. In animals, liver injury and death have been seen from short-term exposure to levels of 308 parts of n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine per million parts of food (ppm) and above.
1.7 What recommendations has the federal government made to protect human health?
The EPA controls the release of n-Nitrosodi-npropylamine. It is proposed that releases or spills of 10 pounds or more of n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine must be reported to the National Response Center.
The federal recommendations have been updated as of July 1999.

John Wesley's Explanatory Noteson the Whole Bible
Verse 4. Always - Whenever I mention you to God in prayer.
Verse 5. In all utterance and knowledge - Of divine things. These gifts the Corinthians particularly admired. Therefore this congratulation naturally tended to soften their spirits, and I make way for the reproofs which follow.
Verse 6. The testimony of Christ - The gospel. Was confirmed among you - By these gifts attending it. They knew they had received these by the hand of Paul: and this consideration was highly proper, to revive in them their former reverence and affection for their spiritual father.
Verse 7. Waiting - With earnest desire. For the glorious revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ - A sure mark of a true or false Christian, to long for, or dread, this revelation.
Verse 8. Who will also - if you faithfully apply to him. Confirm you to the end. In the day of Christ - Now it is our day, wherein we are to work out our salvation; then it will be eminently the day of Christ, and of his glory in the saints.
Verse 9. God is faithful - To all his promises; and therefore "to him that hath shall be given." By whom ye are called - A pledge of his willingness to save you unto the uttermost.
Verse 10. Now I exhort you - Ye have faith and hope; secure love also. By the endearing name of our Lord Jesus Christ -lnfinitely preferable to all the human names in which ye glory. That ye all speak the same thing - They now spoke different things, 1 Corinthians 1:12 And that there be no schisms among you - No alienation of affection from each other. Is this word ever taken in any other sense in scripture? But that ye be joined in the same mind -Affections, desires. And judgment - Touching all the grand truths of the gospel.
Verse 11. It hath been declared to me by them of the family of Chloe -Whom some suppose to have been the wife of Stephanas, and the mother of Fortunatus and Achaicus. By these three the Corinthians had sent their letter to St. Paul, 1 Corinthians 16:17. That there are contentions - A word equivalent with schisms in the preceding verse.
Verse 12. Now this I say - That is, what I mean is this: there are various parties among you, who set themselves, one against an other, in behalf of the several teachers they admire. And I of Christ - They spoke well, if they had not on this pretence despised their teachers, 1 Corinthians 4:8 Perhaps they valued themselves on having heard Christ preach in his own person.
Verse 13. Is Christ divided - Are not all the members still under one head? Was not he alone crucified for you all; and were ye not all baptized in his name? The glory of Christ then is not to be divided between him and his servants; neither is the unity of the body to be torn asunder, seeing Christ is one still.
Verse 14. I thank God - (A pious phrase for the common one, "I rejoice,") that, in the course of his providence, I baptized none of you, but Crispus, once the ruler of the synagogue, and Caius.
Verse 15. Lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name - In order to attach them to myself.
Verse 16. I know not - That is, it does not at present occur to my memory, that I baptized any other.
Verse 17. For God did not send me to baptize - That was not my chief errand: those of inferior rank and abilities could do it: though all the apostles were sent to baptize also, Matthew 28:19 But to preach the gospel - So the apostle slides into his general proposition: but not with wisdom of speech - With the artificial ornaments of discourse, invented by human wisdom. Lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect - The whole effect of St. Paul's preaching was owing to the power of God accompanying the plain declaration of that great truth, "Christ bore our sins upon the cross." But this effect might have been imputed to another cause, had he come with that wisdom of speech which they admired.
Verse 18. To them that perish - By obstinately rejecting the only name whereby they can be saved. But to us who are saved -Now saved from our sins, and in the way to everlasting salvation, it is the great instrument of the power of God.
Verse 19. For it is written - And the words are remarkably applicable to this great event. Isaiah 29:14
Verse 20. Where is the wise? &c.-The deliverance of Judea from Sennacherib is what Isaiah refers to in these words; in a bold and beautiful allusion to which, the apostle in the clause that follows triumphs over all the opposition of human wisdom to the victorious gospel of Christ. What could the wise men of the gentiles do against this? or the Jewish scribes? or the disputers of this world? - Those among both, who, proud of their acuteness, were fond of controversy, and thought they could confute all opponents. Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world - That is, shown it to be very foolishness. Isaiah 33:18
Verse 21. For since in the wisdom of God - According to his wise disposals, leaving them to make the trial. The world -Whether Jewish or gentile, by all its boasted wisdom knew not God - Though the whole creation declared its Creator, and though he declared himself by all the prophets; it pleased God, by a way which those who perish count mere foolishness, to save them that believe.
Verse 22. For whereas the Jews demand of the apostles, as they did of their Lord, more signs still, after all they have seen already; and the Greeks, or gentiles, seek wisdom -The depths of philosophy, and the charms of eloquence.
Verse 23. We go on to preach, in a plain and historical, not rhetorical or philosophical, manner, Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumblingblock - Just opposite to the "signs" they demand. And to the Greeks foolishness - A silly tale, just opposite to the wisdom they seek.
Verse 24. But to them that are called - And obey the heavenly calling. Christ - With his cross, his death, his life, his kingdom. And they experience, first, that he is the power, then, that he is the wisdom, of God.
Verse 25. Because the foolishness of God - The gospel scheme, which the world judge to be mere foolishness, is wiser than the wisdom of men; and, weak as they account it, stronger than all the strength of men.
Verse 26. Behold your calling - What manner of men they are whom God calls. That not many wise men after the flesh - In the account of the world. Not many mighty - Men of power and authority.
Verse 28. Things that are not - The Jews frequently called the gentiles, "Them that are not," 2 Esdras vi. 56, 57. In so supreme contempt did they hold them. The things that are - In high esteem.
Verse 29. That no flesh - A fit appellation. Flesh is fair, but withering as grass. May glory before God - In God we ought to glory.
Verse 30. Of him - Out of his free grace and mercy. Are ye Engrafted into Christ Jesus, who is made unto us that believe wisdom, who were before utterly foolish and ignorant. Righteousness - The sole ground of our justification, who were before under the wrath and curse of God. Sanctification - A principle of universal holiness, whereas before we were altogether dead in sin. And redemption - That is, complete deliverance from all evil, and eternal bliss both of soul and body.
Verse 31. Let him glory in the Lord - Not in himself, not in the flesh, not in the world. Jeremiah 9:23,24

The South Bend Tribune is reporting that after an earlier feint toward UConn, Notre Dame has made its decision and Cincinnati's Brian Kelly will take the reigns in South Bend. But is he a big enough jerk?
Kelly has turned three minor schools into football powers (relatively speaking, of course) and like any good coach, he has apparently done it with a mixture of fear, intimidation and humiliation. So he's perfect. The only comment worth making at this point is to direct you to this glowing tribute to Kelly from the Elkhart Truth that gives Irish players a little tease of what's in store.
The players were never confused about who was in charge at Grand Valley, Staley said. During the '03 season, Staley was interviewed by the campus newspaper — about "something really minor," he said — and Kelly spoke to him about it afterward.
"He knew about it and he was there," Staley said, "and I don't know if he was listening or what, but I remember after the conversation I was walking back to the locker room and he passed me and he grabs me by the shirt and kind of pulls me up to him so we were eye to eye, and he said, 'Staley, I want you to remember one thing.' He goes, 'You have four touchdowns. You could have 10 if I wanted you to.' And then he walked away.
"I was like, 'What the heck?' He wanted to make sure that every player knew he was in control. That's really what it comes down to. And everybody knew that and everybody had respect for him and he was a phenomenal coach." [Emphasis added]
Of course, it's a fine line between one man's phenomenal, respected coach and another man's unemployed rageaholic. Good luck with those realistic South Bend expectations, though!

|HOF Class of '11
George Edward "Skip" Prosser was a letterman with the Kings Point basketball team. Though, not the Academy's leading scorer, it was his qualities of honesty, integrity, and determination that served Prosser throughout his basketball career. After receiving his USMMA degree, he went on to earn a Master's in education and to become one of the most respected basketball coaches in the NCAA. He is the only coach in NCAA Championship history to lead three different schools to the tournament in his first season at each institution (Loyola, MD; Xavier, & Wake Forest). He compiled a career record of 291-146 in his 14 years as a head coach at the Division-I level.
Prosser put together a 126-68 record in his six seasons with the Demon Deacons of Wake Forest and led the team to five post-season appearances, which included trips to the NCAA Championships. As head coach, he also led the program to its first-ever number one ranking and a school-record 27 wins in 2004-05. Additionally, Prosser was named ACC Coach of the Year in 2003. The Skip Prosser '72 Achievement Award was created to honor Prosser, who believed in "Service Before Self" and exemplified the USMMA motto, "Acta Non Verba." He passed away on July 26, 2007 of a sudden heart attack.

Fashion Files - The Space Age!
Ahoy, fellow 21st-century space travelers! When blasting off into orbit (AKA the dating scene) it is important to look one's best.
If you are uncomfortable wearing ruffles, chains, midriffs or silk shorts ensembles, however, then perhaps the future is not for you! But if those styles do float your boat (or moon rover) then perhaps you should take a look at the Pucci-inspired fashions highlighted by Jay Scott Pike in Secret Hearts #143 (April 1970). They're outta sight!

Frites 'N' Meats survived a crash and propane-tank explosion to remain one of the most popular "second wave" NYC food trucks. But do their burgers and Belgian-style fries continue to live up to the rhyme? We found out.
The first whiff of grilling meat hits two blocks away from the truck's Wednesday spot on Hudson Street. The concrete gullies accelerate the aroma of searing flesh deep into the West Village. The line moves quickly thanks to Frites 'N' Meats's pen-and-card-based order system. Orderees mingle nearby, waiting to hear their "superhero name" called out. There are two types of New Yorkers, the saying goes. Those who write their own names on the Frites 'N' Meats card, and those who make up their own superhero names, say, "The Skinny Jeans, Fixed-Gear Crusader."
The menu is simple — grass-fed Angus or American Kobe (wagyu) burger, soft brioche or crusty potato onion bun, and toppings like applewood-smoked bacon, flavored aiolis (garlicy mayo), goat cheese, onion jam and guacamole. Weekly and daily special burgers take the guesswork away — the sponsored Makers Mark bourbon Kobe beef burger with marinated oven-roasted tomatoes and savory onion jam, for example.
The good news is that the best thing on the menu is a stripped-down burger (of either kind) on either bun. The crunch of seared burger skin gives way immediately to a juicy, flavorful patty. Playing against traditional burger bun rules, the crunchy potato-onion crust holds in a soft interior slurry of minimal dough and maximal meat juice, while the brioche gathers up the juices and delivers them in a sultry, mouth-pleasing medium. The Angus is a little more dense than the Kobe, but both share a crunchy snap and mineral-rich beef flavor. Paired with spicy aoli, the result is a bit of garlicy fire.
Although the richness of toppings is one of the truck's best attributes, adding too many extras provides diminishing returns. It also boosts the sticker-shock effect. Quality comes at a price, and that price starts at $6.00 for the Angus burger, $8.00 for the waygu. Toppings range from free (mesclun lettuce, tomatoes) to $0.75 each (cheese, bacon, onion jam).
Frites, you say? Freshly double-fried and doused with sea salt. Delicious carbohydrate minimalism.
Ultimately, where FnM excels most is in its basic ingredients - good meat, well cooked, high-quality bun, double-fried Idahoes and salt. Primordial fire meets civilization on streets teeming with hyperactive hunter-gatherers.

The Quotable Augustine: Distinctively Catholic Elements in His Theology
Paperback, 245 Pages
List Price: $20.95
Price: $16.76
You Save: $4.19 ( 20% )
Prints in 3-5 business days
Protestants (especially Reformed Protestants, or Calvinists) often assert that St. Augustine's views were closer to theirs than to the present-day Catholic Church. My aim is to systematically document St. Augustine's advocacy of positions that historic Protestantism has expressly rejected, and (conversely) detail his opposition to some doctrines or beliefs that it has (generally speaking) espoused. Quotations are drawn from 44 separate works of St. Augustine, arranged under 157 topics, and also arranged chronologically within topics, insofar as that can be determined. This helps to clarify any development in Augustine's views. Editorial input is kept to an absolute minimum: confined to an occasional bracketed clarification (usually a contextual matter or reference) or briefly stated fact considered to be indispensable in understanding some aspect of the quotation. I'm delighted to pass along to readers a "capsulized version" of St. Augustine's wonderful... More > and eloquent theological writing.< Less

South Sound travelers: The times to avoid heavy holiday traffic
As South Sounders disperse for the Fourth of July holiday weekend, major thoroughfares will have congestion, and possibly stop-and-go traffic at peak times.
"Pretty typically the Thursday and the Sunday are the two heaviest travel days when you have a three-day weekend," said state Department of Transportation spokeswoman Claudia Bingham Baker.
Moderate to heavy traffic will start as early as 6 a.m. Thursday for drivers headed south from Tacoma on Interstate 5. The stretch of freeway between Tacoma and Olympia will be busiest from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
For those headed from Olympia to Tacoma on I-5, the busiest hours are expected to be 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
On Sunday, returning travelers can expect the worst traffic headed north to Tacoma to be from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Heavy traffic between Tacoma and Olympia is expected from noon to 3 p.m.
Congestion generally is worst between Lacey and Tacoma, Bingham Baker said.
"We can expect to see heavy congestion on I-5 probably all day Sunday," Bingham Baker said. "A typical summer Sunday can often last from about 3 p.m. in the afternoon to maybe 8 or 9 p.m. at night."
The summer season of travelers headed south to the beaches and other destinations has started, resulting in routine Sunday backups. A holiday weekend just makes it worse, she said.
Other areas with heavy traffic for the holiday will be on Interstate 90 headed east from North Bend to Cle Elum between 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. Thursday, and headed west between 11 a.m. and 9 p.m. Sunday.
U.S. 2 from Stevens Pass to Leavenworth is expected to be bad from noon to 2 p.m. Sunday, and northbound I-5 from Bellingham to Canada will be slow going from 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday.
Travelers hoping to avoid heavy traffic by catching an Amtrak train should book tickets as soon as possible, the state said, given that they often sell out during holidays.
For shorter trips, Pierce Transit buses will run on a Sunday schedule Friday, and Sound Transit routes will run on a Sunday schedule or not at all (see soundtransit.org or call 888-889-6368).
There will be no Sounder Train service Friday, and the Tacoma Link Light Rail will run on a Sunday schedule.
Officials at Sea-Tac Airport said travelers arriving two hours before their flights should have sufficient time to catch their planes during the holiday weekend.

We are six students who search information about making our own phonograph. We have to make it completely by ourself and we have to use everyday components to make it. We want to base our phonograph on the model of Thomas Edison.

This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
-if my answer was helpful, could you select it? – dwwilson66 Apr 26 '12 at 13:54
There's a plethora of information if you google "DIY Phonograph". My two favorites are below, and I think the Gakken Cup is close to what you're looking for. This site has lots of detailed photos of the parts to help give you some inspiration about making one yourself; I suspect you're not allowed to buy a kit... :)

Healthy Chicken and Sucotash
4 ounces pepper-jack cheese, shredded
2 cups baby arugula, roughly chopped
2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts (12 ounces each)
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing
Kosher salt
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons Cajun spice blend
Vegetable oil, for the grill
1 cup frozen lima beans, thawed
1 medium yellow summer squash, diced
2 cups corn kernels
Juice of 1 lime
Combine the cheese and arugula in a bowl. Cut a deep 2-inch-wide pocket in the thickest part of each chicken breast with a paring knife. Stuff with the arugula mixture. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and the Cajun spice blend.
Preheat a grill to high and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Grill the chicken until blackened and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 155 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the lima beans, squash and corn, season with salt and cook until the squash is just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice. Slice the chicken and serve with the succotash.
