Would you think twice about performing an action as everyday and innocent as answering a doorbell? Maybe you should. In the case of "The Ding Dongs (or What is the Penalty in Portugal?)," presented by square product theatre, it seems you definitely should.
A couple arrives at a door, the man claiming the house is his childhood home. The occupant of the house, Redelmo, is anxious to keep the couple out, despite their insistence they look around. They are high-strung and passive-aggressive. Once the couple, Joe and Natalie, have gotten a tiny toehold into a social interaction with Redelmo, a twisted and bizarre — but very effective and elaborate — scheme begins to unfold.
Slowly, point by point and inch by inch, the takeover is implemented.
None of the characters in this play is reliable. Whether they are lying provides emotional subtext for each line. The action and story stay unpredictable, and for the entire evening I could in no way anticipate which direction the action would take. I found myself holding my breath, squirming uneasily because Jason Maxwell — he is excellent as Joe, whose wild mood swings and quick switching of tactics drags the audience on a wild ride — and Emily K. Harrison, who portrays Natalie, play the creepiest, most confounding, passive-aggressive of couples. Their performances bring to perfection circular, diversion-driven argument. If you have ever had an argument with someone where you can't get any headway or footing on an agreed-upon reality, this play will resonate with you.
"Ding Dongs" addresses many issues. I found myself questioning not only the legitimacy of property rights, which is a major theme in the play, but also the legacy of victimization. Ownership is completely dependent on how you define things, Natalie says amid a bait-and-switch argument. Random boxes addressed to Joe and Natalie arrive at Redelmo's home, who objects that he didn't order them. In an argument that follows it's own strange logic, Natalie answers, "I didn't order sleepless nights, but they are still mine." Huh?
Redelmo (Jack Wefso) becomes confused and angry. Yet, for some reason, he doesn't think to call the police until the couple have accumulated enough circumstantial evidence that the house would be perceived to be theirs by any authority figure, who would more likely believe them than the actual occupant of the house. Each time Redelmo becomes angry and tries to throw them out, he is told to relax, to calm down.
Most of all, the real highlight of the evening is a long, forcefully performed monologue in which Harrison reveals her depth as an actress. She brings the audience into Natalie's experience, providing a sweet twist on our assumptions about motive and opportunity. Her performance is riveting.
The sound design for this show also was key to the ominous feel: The house itself seemed to breathe and intrude the psyche.
In the end, Joe and Natalie tell Redelmo, "We want your version of a sudden and irreversible expulsion to be better than ours."
The play upends any sense that there is a common set of rules regarding property rights, personal behavior or even citizenry that can be counted on: "We are all displaced everyday."

Vilner Custom Bike Predator
Predator. It must be strong to chase and kill, to dominate and survive. It must be aggressive and wicked, to have athletic build, paralyzing gaze, clear purpose and excellent achievements. In the cruel competition of life, it must overpower firmly and pitilessly.
It was created by the BG studio that won worldwide recognition as a titular in vehicle interior design. Vilner took up the challenge of an eccentric Russian businessman, who lives and works in Bulgaria. He is a motorbike fan and possesses one of the biggest and most interesting collections of bikes in Bulgaria.
The VIP client didn't like some details in the mass-produced bike. He wanted a radical change in the headlights, which in his view looked like a "WWII mask"; he wanted a distinguished, more aggressive sound and a new, individual image for his F 800 R.
The base model, BMW F 800 R, is equipped with a 798-cubic four-cycle engine, 87 hp and a six-level gear-box. The motorcycle can reach a maximum speed of 200 km/h and its weight is 177 kg. The frame is aluminum, the headlights are asymmetric, the breaks – Brembo with 320 mm disks.
The metamorphosis. Vilner Custom Bike Predator
It took 6 months for three Vilner specialists to develop the design, create the model, work out the details, finish and test their handmade work for the creation of Predator. 17 new details were made – 9 of carbon and 8 chromium-plated.
The bike length is 25 cm shorter. It was made single-seated instead of two-seated – with a wider and fully changed seat. The headlight was remade – bi-xenon with red LED lights. The front blinkers were taken from a BMW Z4 and built in the carbon. PREDATOR's rear is with joined blinkers, rear-lights and stop lamp. The rear tyre is wider. The other grey elements of the mass-produced type are colored in black.
Due to the lightness of carbon details, although upgraded, the bike increased its weight with only 6.5 kg. The exhaust pipe is handmade by BG partner company. The predator now has a furious roar – low and rotund, withering!

Defect with gas pump ruled out in explosion
Danbury: Victim of explosion remains in hospital burn unit
Though an investigation into the cause of an explosion that severely burned a man at a Danbury gas station last month remains open, any defect or irregularity with the pump involved has been ruled out as a cause, officials said.
"At this point we have no evidence that there was any issue with that particular pump," Fire Chief Geoff Herald said.
The Rev. David Wentroble, a Danbury man who works as a chaplain at Nyack Hospital in Nyack, N.Y., suffered extensive burns when a fireball ignited as he pumped gas into his vehicle at Wheels gas station on Tamarack Avenue at about 6:20 a.m. on Dec. 20.
Staff at the gas station rushed to Wentroble to help extinguish the flames, witnesses said, and he was transported by ambulance to Bridgeport Hospital's burn center, where he remained in critical condition Friday.
An investigation by a city fire marshal ensued, though Herald said it did not find any fault with the gas station or the pump itself.
"Their safety mechanisms are in place and were in place in this gas station, so there are no inherent safety issues with this or any other gas station as long as they continue to meet the statutorily required codes," Herald said.
The fire marshal's investigation also did not find any accidental cause for the explosion, and the inquiry has since been turned over to city police, who are said to be waiting until Wentroble's condition improves to a point where he can be interviewed.
Herald said at the time of the explosion, the nozzle of the gas pump was still in the victim's car and the fume cloud that ignited only burned Wentroble, aside from leaving superficial soot or char on the area around the fire.
Video surveillance of the incident also did not provide any clue as to what ignited the fumes. "It doesn't show him lighting a lighter, striking a match or anything like that," he said.
With that, until Wentroble is able to potentially explain what happened that morning, Herald is left with the theory that static electricity ignited the fumes -- "a very rare circumstance, but it does occasionally happen," he said.
"If this was indeed a static electric discharge that ignited this particular area of fumes, it's due to a very, very rare concurrence of circumstances," Herald said.

Oct. 10 Tim Lincecum and Angel Pagan postgame interview
Q. Tim, obviously Boch didn't give you a start in this series because you didn't come up to whatever level he wanted, and then today you pitched really well. Did you understand why you pitched well, or is it something you did differently, or is it just one of those things?
TIM LINCECUM: Right now I feel like the times are different. We're playing for a different reason than just the season, to get to the NLCS and further, so I feel with that motivation it helps to get into those situations and not think about the difference of starting and being in a bullpen situation. It's just that I've got to get my outs and do my job.
Q. Can you describe -- second one is I saw you guys do a scrum before the game. Is that something you have been doing all season?
ANGEL PAGAN: The first one got bumped up because we understand the situation we're in. It's win or go home. We're here to give it all in the field, obviously we have some runs early in the ballgame, and that's good enough for our pitching staff to cruise and Hunter made that up to gather around and get pumped up and go out there with the best attitude we can have.
Q. Is that new for the playoffs?
TIM LINCECUM: Just started a couple of days ago.
Q. After you were down?
ANGEL PAGAN: Yeah, just started here.
Q. Angel, given that you didn't know you were going to be pitching until late last night or today, what did that do for your preparation?
ANGEL PAGAN: We had an idea who they could have, and Mike Leake was the number 1 guy we had in our heads and after the game and today when we got here we got ready for whoever and we knew it could be Mike Leake or Latos, depends on what Dusty said. But we were ready for anything.
Q. Angel, you're in center field and you're behind Tim watching him pitch, when you saw him work today, what did you see?
ANGEL PAGAN: It was unbelievable to watch him go out there and do what he do best. It was fun to watch. He was always ready. Like you said, he never got a start in the playoffs, but he was always ready to come through and tonight was his night. It was fun to watch.
Q. Tim, to watch the postgame, the offense wasn't great last night and to see the offense tonight and the pitching coming through, do you feel like as a team you're hitting on all cylinders right now?
TIM LINCECUM: Yeah, we have some hiccups, but the idea is to win and if that means winning with a big pitching staff or with 10 guys off the bench, we're here to leave it on the field, like Pagan said.
Q. Tim, I've watched you work for years and sometimes it seems to me -- and I'm not sure about this, that you think a lot and get to thinking too much and sometimes you just throw the ball. Does that resonate?
TIM LINCECUM: Yeah, definitely, I made mention of just coming out of the bullpen and knowing your role and you don't have to pace yourself through a certain amount of innings, you're just here to get outs until they tell me you're done, and so like I said, to be able to go in the stretch and think about where I want to throw it as opposed to how I'm going to get it there, that's easier for me.
Q. Are you available tomorrow?
TIM LINCECUM: If they need me, yeah.
ANGEL PAGAN: All right, baby!
Q. Were you surprised about what you did today? Did you surprise yourself at all?
TIM LINCECUM: I wouldn't say surprised, you kind of go out there with that expectation of doing well, and when things go well you think this is the way it should be, and if things go well I'll just do that more often.
Q. Are you enjoying the fact that a lot of people did bury you, and now you get this point, is that a little bit of feeling of momentum?
TIM LINCECUM: Definitely, I feel like the momentum that we started was having Hunter, and he's been doing his motivational speeches. They are extremely inspiring. They raise us up, and they bring us together at the same time.
Like I said, it's not about going out there as individuals, as Angel Pagan and myself and Hunter, it's just going out and doing what we got to do to win. And the last two games it's been about scratching and leaving it on the field like we said.
ANGEL PAGAN: He said it all, thanks to Hunter. He inspired us to go out there and be positive and bring the best we can bring, you know, and that's what we have shown. We have shown that there is no tomorrow. This is today, and thanks to the win today there will be a tomorrow. We are ready for that.

Most of us just put our toilet paper on a standard spindle holder mounted with two brackets on the wall. However, not every home has a spindle holder in the bathroom, and not everyone wants one. From easy DIY solutions, to cabinets for storing TP, here are 10 suggestions for creative ways to keep the toilet paper handy.
1. Recessed toilet paper holder: The idea here is the same as the standard wall-mounted holder, but a recessed holder can save a few inches and make the TP more discrete. Of course, this type of holder involves a little more work to install, but it's still pretty straightforward.
2. Single post toilet paper holder: Just mount the toilet paper from one side — On the other hand, single-post holders involve less work (and less drilling into tile, if necessary). Also, guests who are too lazy to remove the spindle and replace the toilet paper may be more inclined to replace the TP if they only have to slide off the empty roll and slide on the new roll.
3. Toilet paper pedestal: For bathrooms where it may be impractical or impossible to mount a holder on the wall, freestanding pedestal paper holders can keep the toilet paper handy. Some also hold magazines in addition to the toilet paper.
4. Over-the-tank toilet paper holder: Another option for tight spaces is a toilet paper dispenser that hooks to the side of the tank. A word of caution: Many newer toilets have flushing handles on the side of the tank, where an over-the-tank toilet paper holder rests. Also, some people complain that they are not able to fully close the lids of their toilets when an over-the-tank holder is in use. However, if you can pair the right over-the-tank toilet paper holder with your toilet, it could save space and look great.
5. Toilet paper cabinet: For the exceedingly discrete (or homeowners with very curious kittens and toddlers), toilet paper can be hidden in small cabinets. Buy a prefabricated toilet paper cabinet, or have one custom built.
6. Toilet roll canister: From designer cardboard to brushed stainless steel to woven banana leaves, you can hide toilet paper rolls from little fingers and paws, but still allow quick access. A design-friendly idea is to repurpose a large glass vase as a toilet paper canister.
7. Repurpose a bit of technology: The spindle from a package of rewritable CDs or DVDs (assuming you still use CDs and DVDs) perfectly fit a toilet paper roll, and can sit on the back of the toilet.
8. Store your TP in a trophy cup: Grant K. Gibson is among many designers who have found alternatives to the standard toilet paper holder. He puts his in a trophy that is just the right size.
9. Store an extra roll in a DIY sleeve: Another designer with hang-ups about the aesthetics of toilet paper sewed a pretty sleeve for the extra roll, which hangs from the sides of a standard toilet paper holder.
10. DIY toilet paper holder made from string and a small stick: This DIY toilet paper holder is surprisingly cute and can hold a few rolls at a time. Tie a 4 inch stick to one end of a 2 foot length of sturdy string, rope or twine. You could even use a good, thick ribbon. Nail it to the bathroom wall, or hang from a hook. To "thread" toilet paper onto it, turn the stick vertically. Turn the stick back to its horizontal position to support the rolls.

Everything in this image is perfect: The composition, the colors, the subject's (Wolfie's) body language, his mischievous smile. Obviously, Wolfie, aged 1 1/2 years, was not told to say "cheese" - this most stupid invitation to make people to look 'photogenic' or 'happy'.
The photo was taken with a smart phone, and it makes me realize, painfully, as I have to admit, that we photographers of the old school - whatever that means besides the heavy, at times quite cumbersome analog equipment we had to shlep around - seem to be out.
So, even though Carmen and Felix have undeniably some talent as untrained photographers, I doubt they will ever get a 'real' digital camera-camera. Actually, who needs one, except for serious amateur photographers and professionals, when the results folks like Carmen and Felix get with their smart phones are good enough to participate in any type of a creative photojournalistic contest?

There are many potholes on the road to trying to balance California's troubled state budget. And Gov. Jerry Brown just hit one.
U.S. District Judge Christina Snyder issued a final ruling on Wednesday, blocking the state from making a 10 percent cut to Medi-Cal reimbursement rates.
In simple terms, that means doctors, dentists, and other medical professionals won't see their pay slashed for treating the state's poor.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The ruling comes from a lawsuit filed by the California Medical Association and other groups.
"This is tremendous news for the future of medicine," CMA President James Hay said in a statement. "Rather than focusing on Medi-Cal cuts as a short-term budget solution, we should be working together to find long-term solutions."
The cuts would have affected clinics, labs, and pharmacies. Doctors were seen as less likely to take on Medi-Cal patients, if the reimbursement cuts had been made. Rural areas were especially worried about the impact.
But the issue creates a new headache for Gov. Brown, who signed the Medi-Cal cut bill last year as part of an ongoing effort to find savings. Cutting reimbursements would have saved the state an estimated $623 million.
The ruling means the governor's budget people will now have to slash spending elsewhere to make up for it.
These kinds of decisions illustrate the ongoing nature of California's budget quicksand. It's one reason for State Controller John Chiang's warning this week that the state is facing a cash shortage this spring.

A recent article in the Omaha World Herald, "Food Demand Drives Farmland Prices," brings into focus the fragility of what to many is our nation's limitless agricultural land base. In the article, J.B.Penn, chief economist for farm equipment maker Deere & Co., notes with the world population expected to grow by 50 percent by 2050, the ability of the world's agricultural lands to produce is about to be overtaken by the need for more food. He points out that, "Most of the good land in the world today is already under cultivation" and that poorer-quality land will require "costly and controversial" measures, such as increased irrigation, to produce more crops.
In the United States our agricultural land base is not only under pressure to produce food for our own internal needs and those of the growing world population, but also for energy products and increasingly for environmental goods and services. Yet at the same time, unwise development continues to permanently destroy farmland at an alarming rate — 4,080,300 acres from 2002 to 2007, an area nearly the size of Massachusetts, as reported by the recently released USDA National Resources Inventory (NRI). And to Mr. Penn's point about the risks of enlisting poorer-quality soils into meeting future world food needs: the NRI reports that during this same period prime farmland in the U.S. (meaning land with the best soils to produce food and fiber), declined by over two and a quarter million acres.
It has been 30 years since the United States last conducted a comprehensive analysis of its agricultural land base – the National Agricultural Lands Study.
The prospects of a world population increasing by 50% in just forty years, the realities highlighted by Mr. Penn and the stunning farmland loss numbers produced by USDA, all point to the need for us to once again take stock of the status of our precious, valuable and irreplaceable agricultural lands.
Only a new "National Agricultural Lands Study" – with the commitment of the highest levels of the federal government – can clarify the multiple demands on and the benefits provided by well-managed agricultural lands and determine the country's need for agricultural land as a national security asset in a sustainable green economy.
With this study, we can truly lay out the groundwork for a robust, comprehensive strategy to secure this resource base for future generations.
About the author: Bob Wagner celebrates his 25th year at American Farmland Trust in 2010. He has worked in the field of farmland protection since 1981. In his current position, Wagner helps states and local communities nationwide build support for and create policies to protect agricultural land. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com

I had Playmobil as a kid (actually, my mom still has it at her house, a set of castle folks that is still in mint condition after 35 years and several generations of play) so I have a special place in my heart for it. I wish I had a special place in my wallet to buy more. Great Scott, that stuff is expensive! But this set was on sale and I thought it was something my kids might enjoy doing.
Understatement. They ADORE it. Thing 1 has even days and Thing 2 has odd days, and it is the first thing they ask me to do each morning. A typical morning conversation: (Me: Reaching to hug them.) "Good morning, girlies." (Them: Rushing through a perfunctory hug in which they barely close in) "GoodMorningCanWeDoThePlaymobilCalendar?"
I also have this Target mirrored advent box on the mantel I fell in love with and scored at the 50% off sale after Christmas two years ago, so they each get to do one calendar door a day. That one is filled with candy this year. But they are much less thrilled with the candy then the slowly expanding Playmobil woodland scene. Gotta love that.
I confess I play with the woodland set when they are not looking. It is really cute. I have pondered many times doing a handmade countdown calendar one year, but motivation is low when I already have these two. Check out this one by talented Katie of So Happy. It's gorgeous.
While I'm throwing out links, if you are pondering making some felt cozies from my Gadget Cozy pattern, Peas In A Pod has posted a comprehensive pattern review. She is a gift-making machine, I tell you, and it is a very detailed review. Which of course I'm thrilled to say is completely positive about the pattern! Thanks, Mama Pea!

Wow... I haven't heard "cripes" in many years! :)ReplyDelete
Love your advent set. So great for making memories with your girls!
The woodland advent is so cute! how fun! I've never seen one like that. My kids have been loving their advent as well, always excited to hang the next ornament :). Thanks for linking my project, perhaps a bit of your fame will rub off on my blog ;). Hope you're enjoying December. Merry Christmas!ReplyDelete
I sorta really liked the "cripes" comment, too!ReplyDelete
I LOVE that woodland set. I am going to have to look at it. Sweet Pea would love it.
Thanks for the link to my blog! Still in love with your pattern!
Ohhh, I was in need of a craft-inspiration for this Christmas, and I found it with the Katie's calendar. My English didnt allow me to translate 'cripes', but by free association i tell you - they're cuuuute! KiissesReplyDelete
Hey, everybody. Grandma G, your comment about cripes got me wondering about the origins. I always considered it a funny old saying and to my utter chagrin it is of course a euphemism for Christ. Why are all the funny old expressions always stinkety euphemisms for the Lord's name? I need to start some new ones. Got any ideas?ReplyDelete
I was told once that about the only you could safely say was "wow". :)ReplyDelete
We also like Playmobil very much and so do the kids. This year our tall girl put the "Christmmas market" on her wishlist and the little man a helicopter... I like the creativity which comes along while playing with it - and as you said, we grew up with it (although we only had Horses, Cowboys and native Americans).ReplyDelete
Have a great season,
That mirrored mantle box is so precious! Love it!ReplyDelete
Gah, I just saw this same playmobile set TODAY and wished it was November 30th instead of December 15th so we could really use it. (even though my kids are a tad young this year, so I picked it up for next.) They also have a very girly designed advent, not at all christmasy, (bummer) but I think it was like a forest, with fairies and unicorns, maybe you could score that one after Christmas for a discount for next year.ReplyDelete
Fellow Playmobil fans here too at my house! My kids love 'em, but I think I love them even more. Aren't they just made so well and so darned cute?ReplyDelete
Very cute christmas decoration!ReplyDelete
Hey! I´m here for the first time and I liked this blog a lot! Regards from Brazil! ^^ReplyDelete
I'm stealing the Playmobil advent idea for next year. Love that! We didn't do the advent thing this year, just made a gingerbread house together. This week, though, has been promised to be full of crafting, board games and other nonstop kid-centric activities.ReplyDelete

Boy, 8, run over while biking to school
Police cite bicycle helmet as saving child from serious injury
An 8-year-old was pinned under a car Wednesday morning on his way to school.
Authorities said the child, who went completely under the car, was run over at the intersection of Glen Cove and Emerson in Palm Bay.
Police said the cause of the crash was a combination of heavy traffic and people in a hurry.
Officials said the boy was riding with a second child to school and crossing the street.
A driver saw the other child, but did not see the 8-year-old victim and rolled over his bicycle. The child had a head injury that appears relatively minor.
His mother was called to the scene, obviously in great distress, and went with the child to the hospital.
Police said it looks like he will be OK.
"The only reason he is in as good a shape as he is, is because he was wearing a bicycle helmet," said Palm Bay police spokesman Samuel Ivey.
The driver was cited for failing to yield.

Belimumab 10 mg/kg IV plus standard therapy for SLE is administered on Days 0, 14, 28, and then every 28 days thereafter through Week 28 (9 doses). Pneumococcal vaccination is administered 24 weeks after the first dose of belimumab.
Other Name: BENLYSTA™
- Number of Participants With Positive Antibody Responses to at Least One of the 23 Pneumococcal Vaccine Serotypes 4 Weeks Post-vaccination [ Time Frame: Four weeks after vaccination ]A positive immune response to at least one pneumococcal serotype is defined as a 2-fold or greater increase from pre-vaccination levels. For unquantifiable pre-vaccination antibody levels, a positive antibody response was considered as a post-vaccination level >=0.6 micrograms (µg)/milliliter (mL). Post-vaccination pneumococcal titers were assessed on Day 28 (Week 4) prior to the first dose of belimumab in the early cohort and on Day 196 (Week 28) prior to the last belimumab dose in the late cohort. Evaluable participants for the early cohort included those who received the vaccination at Day 0 and had titers drawn at Week 4. For the late cohort, evaluable participants received at least 5 of the 7 doses of belimumab up through Week 24, received the vaccination at Week 24, and had titers drawn at Week 28.

The origins of Orange MC date from shortly after the time when [Rob Bunting]? departed York, arising from an email discussion list on what should happen next in web Crescent. Orange MC's general structure is modelled after the York/MCiOS style, and follows many of the innovations pioneered by Dan at MCiOS (such as permalinking, move preview, etc). It also features three other innovations: use of skins to allow the server to adopt various personas, sorting of games by different properties, and paged browsing of games.
Orange MC and its close cousin The Lockisseum are also notable because in November 2004 they were the first MC sites to suffer from spam postings, a dubious honour which seems likely to lead to further unwelcome innovations in the direction of user logins.

Intellectual freedom in Canada: When good intentions morph into bad policy
From Ezra Levant's excellent blog, we learn more about how the Canadian Jewish Congress built up the Canadian Nazi Party, and then put in place "human rights" commissions to control such institutions.
This was not a nefarious plot. It has more the feel of mid-twentieth-century "social worker" bungling - where the bungler doesn't really understand what he or she is actually doing.
Most of the people Levant describes never seem to have received any training in basic principles like cause and effect.
In a simple-minded way, the bungler imagines that if he created the monster, he owns it and can then destroy it at his own convenience.
That was true of the Canadian Nazi Party, which was a cultural zero anyway. (= Most Canadians figured, basically, we won the War and they lost it. So anyone parading around in Nazi get-up was a self-identified loser.)
And so now? Now the out-of-control "human rights" commissions - direct descendants of such efforts - are a menace to a free society, as Levant's book, Shakedown illustrates. No one knows what will "offend" someone - or what will be criminalized next.
If you have the time (I rarely do), listen to some fluffy-haired talk show host yatting aimlessly on TV, you might have some idea from which quarter the wind is blowing just now. (= why your life or business may be destroyed, almost at random.)
Or you could, instead, write to our Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. Mr. Stephen Harper and ask politely that he convene a Royal Commission to look into this mess.

Hi, I was researching house wrap and found this site through a link posted by SuzieSnowflake on GardenWeb.com. Thank you for this documentary. I learn best by seeing and you've clarified a lot of abstract concepts for me. I have more questions for you, if you wouldn't mind emailing me. Thanks again for all your hard work.

I live in Louisiana and was researching information on rainscreens, which ended with me viewing your site. Thank you for all the time you spent on documenting the constuction project. I cannot tell you how many times I get great descriptions of a process...but never get to view the process. Your documentation is the best!!! Thank you again.

Nice site Rollie....great detail in Deloris' house
- Tim, Fri, 8 Oct 2010 7:07PM
Brilliant. Thinking of building, probably building using the REMOTE style (with insulation on the outside, rather than inside the framing. But your detailing gives me a lot of information on what I need.

I never tire of reviewing you tutorial on Delores' house. I consider it the gold standard. Can I ask how much it cost to build that house with that level of quality? How many square feet was it? Thanks for taking the time to creat that.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise! I'd buy the book!! I followed a link from Gardenweb to find you.
- Charlotte Faller, Sat, 31 May 2008 9:02PM
Found your site because it was mentioned on Gardweb.com forum as a great place to learn what good building practices should look like. As someone getting ready to have a custom home built, I figure the more I know to watch out for, the less likely I am to get badly burned. I chosen a builder that I trust ("knock wood") will do a good job for me but like the old saying once used in relation to the nuclear arms treaty, "trust and verify!"
Thanks for the info.

Just wanted to applaud your work, attention to detail, and efforts in creating this site with your documentation. You have given me a lot of insight as to how the buildup goes, and I look forward to using some of your strategies on my own work. Thank you again and good luck with your next project.
- Joseph Killen, Tue, 24 Apr 2007 8:51AM
Great service you have provided for homeowners here. I thank you and appreciate the time and effort you puet into making this available to all of us.
- Randy Perry, Thu, 22 Mar 2007 11:17AM
Nice pics so far. Hope to see more builders using sound "Building Science" techniques. That will make the selection of a contractor for my own arguably "superinsulated" home in NH that much easier. I have been researching technique and materials for some time. Project is two years away.

I am building a house in the next 3 months, and I want to be able to know if my contractor is doing the right thing
- ALICIA RODRIGUEZ, Tue, 26 Sep 2006 10:20AM
Thank you so much. I am just learning about construction techniques and your site is inspiring.
- Veronica Hansen, Tue, 5 Sep 2006 8:58AM
Thanx for putting this pictorial together. Very educational, a must read for any construction student!
- J. Morales, Sat, 2 Sep 2006 7:25AM
GREAT web site. I found it on the Homeowners Against Deficient Dwellings Headline News page. Everyone building a new home or doing remodeling should view this site and insist that the builder view it as well. www.hadd.com
- Nancy Seats | www.hadd.com, Sat, 5 Aug 2006 8:54AM
thank you so much for taking the time and effort to keep this site. i am here, invited by alison, as we are to begin building our panelized home in north central idaho within the next couple of years - we are in the land buying phase now and do not intned to move until 2010.
there is so very much to learn just know know enough to be an informed consumer when having someone else do the actual building.
thank you

- Barbara Wright, Tue, 9 Aug 2005 10:26AM
wish this showed stick built as that is what we will end up doing -- any books that give this close a teaching venue for home buyer's education.
- Loves2read, Sat, 6 Aug 2005 8:18PM
Thank you Rollie!!! This photo album is invaluable. It will show home buyers what the work their builder is doing should look like (in most cases). It will also teach the less than competent builders out there how to do the job right. Can you do one for each climate? :-)
- SuzieSnowflake, Wed, 20 Jul 2005 8:06AM
Thank you for my house we will make it. This info will really help others too.
- Happy Process, Sat, 9 Jul 2005 8:11PM
Please sign the guestbook. It will help me decide whether to proceed with this project or not.

Sometimes, I have to check the validity of some big xml files against a xsd file.
The biggest xml file I received had a size close to 1.5GB.
xmllint took all my RAM and almost all the swap space, for a total memory usage of 18GB.
Consequently, the validation process lasted for 24 hours.
My question: Is there an alternative to
xmllint --schema that consumes less memory, perhaps making use of some streaming features instead of loading the file to memory?

A Cairo court on Saturday ordered the government to block access to the video-sharing website YouTube for 30 days for carrying an anti-Islam film that caused deadly riots across the world.
Judge Hassouna Tawfiq ordered YouTube blocked for carrying the film, which he described as "offensive to Islam and the Prophet (Muhammad)." He made the ruling in the Egyptian capital where the first protests against the film erupted last September before spreading to more than 20 countries, killing more than 50 people.
The ruling, however, can be appealed and, based on precedent, might not be enforced.
The 14-minute trailer for the movie "Innocence of Muslims" portrays the Muslim Prophet Muhammad, a central figure to Islam, as a religious fraud, womanizer and pedophile. It was produced in the United States by an Egyptian-born Christian who's now a U.S. citizen.
Egypt's new constitution includes a ban on insulting "religious messengers and prophets." Broadly worded, blasphemy laws were also in effect under former President Hosni Mubarak prior to his ouster in a popular revolt two years ago.
Yet, similar orders to censor pornographic websites deemed offensive have not been enforced in Egypt because of high costs associated with technical applications, although blocking YouTube may be easier to enforce. Also, rights activists say the ministry of communications and information technology has appeared unwilling to enforce such bans.
Human rights lawyer Gamal Eid said the decision to ban YouTube stems in large part from a lack of knowledge among judges about how the Internet works. Activists say this has led to a lack of courtroom discussion on technical aspects of digital technology, leaving cases based solely on threats to national security and defamation of religion.
"This verdict shows that judges' understanding of technology is weak," Eid said. "The judges do not realize that one wrong post on a website does not mean you have to block the entire website."
Eid, who is executive director at The Arabic Network for Human Right Information, said the government should file an appeal and make it clear to judges that, at most, only specific pages on websites should be blocked.
His group released a statement saying that the decision to block YouTube is counterproductive, citing thousands of videos that seek to promote a better understanding of Islam and the Prophet Muhammad on the website.
YouTube's parent company, Google, declined requests to remove the video from the website last year, but restricted access to it in certain countries, including Egypt, Libya and Indonesia, because it said the video broke laws in those countries. At the height of the protests in September, YouTube was ordered blocked in several countries, including Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah issued an order blocking all websites with access to the anti-Islam film in the conservative kingdom.
Lawyer Mohammed Hamid Salim, who filed the case against the Egyptian government, alleged the film constitutes a threat to Egypt's security, adding that YouTube refused to remove the film despite its offensive content. Protesters in Cairo scaled the U.S. Embassy's walls and brought down the U.S. flag in the first demonstration against the film last year.
Two other cases filed against the government and Google are pending in Egyptian courts. One lawsuit calls for a complete ban on Google's search engine and demands the company pay a $2 billion fine.
Last year, an Egyptian court convicted in absentia seven Egyptian Coptic Christians and a Florida-based American pastor, sentencing them to death on charges linked to the anti-Islam film that had sparked riots in parts of the Muslim world. The case was seen as largely symbolic because the defendants, who mostly live in the United States, were outside Egypt and unlikely to ever face the sentence.
In a related case, a Cairo court had also convicted a Coptic Christian blogger who shared the film on social networking sites. The blogger was sentenced to three years in prison for blasphemy and contempt of religion, but released on bail shortly thereafter.
The cases raise concern by some seculars and liberals that Islamists in power are seeking to curb freedom of speech. However, the most widespread curb occurred under Mubarak when his government blocked all access to the Internet for several days during the 18-day uprising that ousted him from power in an attempt to disrupt communications among activists.
Protests have continued to roil Egypt in the two years since Mubarak was toppled, with the latest bout of violence directed against President Mohammed Morsi's rule. The streets were largely quiet Saturday, a day after violent protests gripped several provinces and protesters clashed with police outside the presidential palace in Cairo.

I am confused. In the program below, the read method converts the fin object into what appears to characters. That's why the variable "i" is converted into the character type. I thought the character type could only be used to display one letter, number, or other symbol. Why then was the whole file printed to screen. Please explain to me.
try { // read bytes until EOF is encountered do { i = fin.read(); if(i != -1) System.out.print((char) i); } while(i != -1); } catch(IOException exc) { System.out.println("Error reading file."); }
--- Update ---
I was just wondering. The read method reads the file each byte at a time. Then it returns -1 when done or a error message if it dosn't finish. Am I able to see characters because of the conversion used in the "println" statement. Please let me know if this is true.

Despite rapid economic growth, a large portion of India's population remains impoverished and in need of basic human necessities. 70% of the population still has limited access to housing and clean water. With an estimated 6 doctors for every 10,000 people, the people of India also continue to face severe public health challenges on a daily basis -- not to mention issues with women's rights, education, and small business development.
Right now, you could volunteer in India to help underprivileged populations gain access to better education, healthcare, human rights, and infrastructure. Volunteer programs are located in metropolitan areas such as Mumbai and Bangalore, as well as rural villages in states including Tamil Nadu, and Rajasthan. These volunteer projects, when done responsibly and with the engagement of local communities, are important aspects of India's overall development.
Whatever area of volunteering you'd like to be a part of, chances are that India will offer it. Depending on which sectors can make use of your specific skill sets, you could be working in urbanized areas such as Mumbai or Bangalore, or the rural peace of somewhere like Tamil Nadu or Rajasthan. Here's a snapshot of the types of volunteer projects in India:
Few countries have such a polarized healthcare system as India. The rich enjoy world-class treatment while poorer inhabitants often have no access to health basics. India is home to the highest amount of AIDS and HIV cases in the world too. As a volunteer you can work in an HIV clinic and help spread awareness. Medical and dental students can also gain first-hand experience in clinics and hospitals.
Gender Equality
Many women in India fall victim to emotional, physical or sexual abuse. Fortunately, there are a number of NGOs that have now been established to counteract such atrocities, and they're always on the lookout for volunteers.
Youth Development and Education
There are about 100 million street children in India and to counteract this, a large number of orphanages and shelter homes have been set up across the country. You could also help promote education by working in a primary or secondary school, teaching basic English.
Community Development
Only 75.3% of men and 53.7% of women in India are literate. Working as part of a community development program, you can help people discover their potential and make a better go of their lives.
Environmental Conservation
India's rapidly-increasing population means there has been much damage to natural surroundings by way of plastics, chemical pesticides and general high productivity. There are a number of projects in India where you can help promote sustainable farming and environmental conservation.
What kind of Volunteer support exists in India?
Any good organization will look after its volunteers, and always be on hand to answer questions and provide help whenever required. Your embassies will be based in New Delhi, while dozens of consulates are located in towns and cities across India. About.com: India Travel also has tons of relevant resources for anyone traveling to India.
What NGOs and non profits work in India?
Unsurprisingly, India is a popular destination for NGOs and charities of all missions and sizes. NGOs India has a full list of NGOs in India.
Will I need to learn the language to volunteer in India?
The only country in the world with more English-speaking inhabitants that India is the U.S. Around 11% of all Indians speak English and you will find that especially amongst young people in urbanized areas, English is widely used.
As with every new culture, you should still make a point of learning the basics of the native language, which in India could be Hindi, Tamil, Gujarati, Kannada, Punjabi, Tulu, Urdu, or any one of India's many official languages.
Where are the best places to volunteer in India?
Mumbai, Jaipur (Rajasthan), Delhi, and Bangalore are good starting points but India has no end of great volunteering locations. What's most important is that the program is right for you.
Often, the type of project you want to work on will dictate where you go.
What kind of visa will I need?
Visitors from the U.S., UK, Canada and Australia require an Indian visa. A tourist visa lasts up to 6 months. Allow yourself plenty of time to apply for your visa and ensure that your passport has remaining validity on it (6 months is usually needed). Visit your own government's official travel site for more details on obtaining a visa or visit VISA HQ.
You'll need to be up to date with a number of vaccines for India. These include typhoid, hepatitis A and diphtheria. Depending on the areas you plan to visit, you may also require jabs for tuberculosis, hepatitis B, rabies, cholera, yellow fever and Japanese encephalitis. These latter vaccinations often apply to more rural areas.
Tap water is generally unsafe for drinking, so stick to the bottled stuff. Also check to make sure that water bottles are properly sealed, as some scammers will refill water bottles with unclean water and resell them.
As for safety, India is not without its problems and wherever you are in the country, you should keep your wits about you and be aware of dangers such as theft and reckless driving.
There are certain areas of India which you are advised against traveling to altogether. These include the rural areas of Jammu and Kashmir (other than Ladakh) the immediate vicinity of the border with Pakistan (other than at Wagah) and all travel in Manipur.
More in-depth advice can be found on the U.S. Department of State and Foreign and Commonwealth Office websites.
Most visitors to India experience little or no trouble (other than a bit of traveler's tummy...), and your volunteer agency will also be looking out for you.

We're BLUSHING Over Smashbox's Latest BLUSHES
Blush is a necessity for EVERY woman…. seriously! It revives a dull and tired face and brightens a complexion.
We had the opportunity to try out Smashbox Cosmetics newest line of ALL BLUSHES, Blush Rush, and we heart them!!!!
The concept behind the Blush Rush line is this: The colors are meant to work with every skin tone. Each shade is streak-proof and lasts all day. They are paraben and fragrance-free, infused with Vitamins A and E (good for skin) AND the compact comes with a swivel mirror hidden along the bottom (for easy on-the-go application)! How genius!!!!
While some of the colors are too light for our personal liking (and don't really make a dent on our olive complexion) and others are a bit too bronzey (our skin is already naturally bronzed), Blush Rush definitely delivers close to purrrfection with every blush.
Here are the 8 shades in the line:
BARE cool dusty rose
ECSTASY warm shimmery nude
CHIFFON shimmery warm golden pink
PARADISE warm golden apricot
FLUSH shimmery cool pink
HEARTBREAK warm shimmery plum
GINGERSNAP warm rosy bronze
CRUSH cool raspberry
Our faves are Crush (dramatic for day), Paradise (apricot – color of the moment), Heartbreak (my new nighttime staple – it really makes a "blushing" statement), and Chiffon (great everyday burst of pink).
*** Professional Tip *** "Apply BLUSH RUSH to apples of cheeks and sweep back toward ears using BLUSH BRUSH #16 or FAN BRUSH #22."
PRICE TAG: $24.00 (for each blush). AVAILABLE AUGUST 1 at smashbox.com.
