Almost all of this music was freely improvised in the moment. This is called spontaneous jazz improvisation. Some of this improvisation originates from tunes and some of it is entirely improvised, or "playing free." "Free improvisation" can be described as music with no preset form or harmony, no boundaries, no limitations, yet anchored in feeling. Improvising from tunes can be very free, even though the tune--with its melody, harmony and form--is your point of origin for your improvisation. Your source for the music you create is the feeling you are experiencing in the moment. Rather than putting melodic "ideas" into chord changes, you allow the music to flow spontaneously from your ears, your feeling and your creative mind--your intuition.

Tea Thermometer Recommendations
Are there any new recommendations for a tea thermometer since this thread is now 3 yrs old?
Are any of the following Amazon "4-star & up" models a Steepster favorite?
I purchased a timer/thermometer from DavidsTea yesterday and am just waiting for it to get here. I think it's INGENIOUS to put both together:) only 50 cents more then Teavana's TIMER only! http://www.davidstea.com/thermometer-and-timer?&TF=3B9DBE9A142D&DEID= http://www.teavana.com/tea-products/tea-accessories/tea-tools/p/teavana-perfect-preset-tea-timer
Thanks for the heads-up! I hadn't seen this model. Please let us know how you like it.
So far, the only other current model tea thermometers I've seen from tea suppliers are:- Teavana – Made by Taylor. (Not well reviewed by Teavana cuctomers.)
http://www.teavana.com/tea-products/tea-accessories/tea-tools/p/tea-thermometer-and-timer- Upton Tea Imports – Thermometer only. (No batteries required)
I bought the Upton thermometer, but wasn't impressed. It seems to take forever to reach a temperature, and is therefore often very inaccurate when compared to an electronic oven thermometer. For example, if you put it into a kettle of vigorously boiling water, it will jump to about 160 degrees, but then takes half a minute to slowly creep up to 212. Even if you leave it in the kettle the entire time, the temperature reading lags the actual temperature by 10-20 degrees. It is so inconvenient that I don't use it.
Thanks for your review of the Upton model. Do you plan to try a different brand thermometer?
I have the Davids tea thermometer and timer: http://www.davidstea.com/thermometer-and-timer?&TF=3B9DBE9A142D&DEID=
I have only had it for a few days so I can't vouch for it over the long term. It is both a timer and a thermometer.
You can adjust everything. I have done my own time/temp as well as just temp or just time.
Hi GiggelGoddess & Ellyn,
Thanks to both of you for your recommendations of the DAVIDsTEA thermometer / timer. I ordered two of them today.
As an added bonus, ALL DAVIDsTEA online orders comes with 3 free tea samples typically of their choosing. However, one can ask for specific tea samples and they'll try to accommodate if possible.
Thanks again!
@looseTman I didn't know you could request specific samples…that's awesome! I'm glad my post helped you out…I'm enjoying it so far but just keep in mind your water may not reach the temp they recommend. I usually just use the timer function since I just use boiled water and where I live it is between 195* and 200*. It is nice to know the water temp though when playing around with types of tea…I love it's dual functionality:) And the fact it actually has the company name on it…not some random named company that some tea companies sell…if you sell a timer (or thermometer) then at least put your name on it. Davids Tea rocks!
"I'm enjoying it so far but just keep in mind your water may not reach the temp they recommend."
Using our new DavidsTea thermometer/timer, I found that measuring 6 oz of boiling water drops the temperature to 195*F and then pouring it into a tea mug drops it to 181*F due to the room-temperature measuring cup & mug. Thus, measuring 6 oz. before boiling will help. Warming a room-temperature teacup with hot water first will also help.
Alternatively, one can boil water in the microwave, thus heating both the water & cup/mug simultaneously.
Which samples did they include with your order?
HOney Dew Mate', Coconut Oolong, and Daydreamer (all part of their new Spring Collection).
today, i used an oneida meat thermometer for the first time. got it discounted at marshall's and it works pretty fine, i think. plus it has a lifetime warranty :)
I got the Davids thermometer/timer today, and I'm pretty bummed because I thought I could customize the presets, but alas, no. It would be a pain to have to set up my custom temp and time at every brewing. Blurgh… I even threw away the box because I was so sure I'd like it.
If anyone wants this one, I'll send it to you for $8! Bought it for $12 today.
Perhaps the following example may be helpful:
Today, I wanted to brew a tea that required 194*F for 3 minutes. None of the 8 pre-set temps and times was an exact match for this specific black tea. I selected the white tea preset, which is programed for 201*F for 4 min & 30 sec. I then touched the clock button which allows the (currently flashing) temp to be adjusted – using the down arrow, I lowered the temp from 201 to 194, then pressed the check mark button. The (now flashing) time was then decreased using the down arrow from 4 min & 30 sec. to 3 min. and then pressed the check mark button. It was then ready to brew this specific tea. These keystrokes took only 30 seconds. (I just timed how long it took to make these changes.)
For the price, this unit is remarkable. It's both a quick-reading digital thermometer & timer in one. Many slower reading analog thermometers cost as much and don't include the timer. Also, how many tea thermometers will beep when your tea has reached the desired temp to remind one to place the infuser in the teacup?
Perhaps DAVIDsTEA will take your comments into account to either refine this unit or to produce a second model with the necessary additional memory to store one's favorite presets. How many user-defined presets would you need or want?
4/22/13: Another refinement for DAVIDsTEA to consider would be the addition of a 10-digit keypad that would allow one to directly enter in the temp & time, rather than having to sequentially set these parameters with the up/down arrow keys. This refinement may be simpler than adding user-defined presets, since the user would also need to know/keep track of which preset is for which specific tea. Some Steepster members have well over 100 teas in their personal collections.

Why is it that men always want women sizes 0 to 10. Plus size women have hearts to. Just becuse we maybe a plus or plus-plus size does not make us any different. We bleed red just like them. We love the same things and for some of us being big is not from overeating its genetic. So all the men need a reality check. Big women are Beautiful!!!!

Each of us have preferences, and each has the right to seek what he or she finds most appealing. Big or small, there's someone for everyone.
And then too, why is a man called robust or muscular if he is large,but a woman isn't? Why does a large man go for a small lady? And does not think its discrimatory. But I think too people like what they like and there are just people who do not like large. The biggest thing in the long run is to like yourself regardelss.
And be happy with who you are.

Free 2-CD Audio Program Reveals...
3 little-known secrets that are keeping you in pain...
$79 value – yours FREE!
Dear Friend,
With your permission, I'd like to send you a copy of our "Complete Healing Formula for Back Pain" double 2-CD audio program today – at no charge – as my gift to you.
This 2-CD set normally sells for $79.00 on our website... Why am I offering to give you this valuable, life-changing program for free?
I'm on a mission to help the millions of people like you who suffer from all types of back and hip pain unnecessarily.
Yes, I said unnecessarily... and that's because most people suffer because of a lack of accurate knowledge about what's really causing their pain (more about this in a moment).
On this 2-CD audio program we reveal why other treatments fail and why you absolutely must address three little-known secrets for ANY treatment to work!
Plus we share with you our tested-and-proven formula for getting the fast and lasting relief you need.
Here are some of the things you'll discover:
How to predict if a back-pain treatment is GUARANTEED TO FAIL. You'll save yourself hundreds – if not thousands – of dollars once you understand how to spot this fatal flaw in any treatment plan.
Why costly Spinal Decompression treatments don't work and can make your back pain worse. Those big-buck procedures can rob you of your precious money, time, comfort AND your overall well-being.
The FIVE hidden causes of back pain and why your doctor or therapist does NOT know about them. Uncover these five missing links in back pain treatments and you will get better, guaranteed!
Why Yoga or Pilates may actually cause you more harm than good. Here's how to make sure any exercise you do heals instead of harms you.
Discover the difference between soft tissue pain and nerve pain. And why it matters when it comes to long-term pain relief and healing.
Why surgery rarely relieves and, instead, may even increase your pain. Must-have information for anyone considering back or hip surgery!
The absolute BEST plan of attack for lasting and effective pain relief. From calming the fire of a flare-up to preventing reoccurrence of an old pain, all the tools you need are here for long-term healing and comfort!
There's more... In addition, I'd like to include a FREE 30-day
preview membership to my "Live Pain Free" monthly
newsletter and audio interview CD series...

During your free 30-day trial membership, I will send you your personal copy of my "Live Pain Free" monthly newsletter.
Better yet, it's delivered straight to your mailbox – it's
not one of those "computer downloads" where you do the printing!
And three-hole punch-ready makes your newsletter easy to file away for handy reference!
Just look at some of the exciting information that awaits you in my"Live Pain Free" monthly newsletter...
Tips to ease night time pain and get a restful night of sleep
Using acupuncture meridians for fast healing and pain relief

Along with my newsletter, I'll also send you our monthly
"Live Pain Free" audio CD.
Each month I interview leading experts, known worldwide for their cutting edge knowledge about pain and healing.
Here are some of the recent interview CDs we've produced for our members:
The Healing Response: How to Know if a Treatment is Really Working
Hypnosis for Back Pain
The #1 Underlying Cause of Pain You Won't Hear About From Your Doctor
Mysterious Treatment Delivers Pain Relief and Healing
The 3 Causes of Every Type of Pain
Magnesium for Pain Relief
You won't find this life-changing information anywhere else. These CDs are only available to our "Live Pain Free" newsletter subscribers.
And as my guest for the month, you will receive your very own copy of the latest month's CD... yours to keep and play as often as you like... at your convenience!
I know you are going to love our "Live Pain Free" newsletter and CDs. Just imagine the difference in your life when you're up on the latest in pain relief...
Here's what P. Rothschild of Ann Arbor, MI says about "Live Pain Free":
"Not sure which I like more - the easy to read and understand articles or the informative audio interviews. I really like the fact they come on CD so I can listen in my car while driving. Definitely a great resource for anyone who is looking to live without pain."
P. Rothschild, Ann Arbor, MI
But... it gets even better. During your FREE 30-day preview, as a member you'll have access to our entire library of back issues and monthly recorded interviews (a $225.00 value!).
So you'll be able to read last month's issue... the month's issue before that... the month's issue before that... and, in fact every issue of "Live Pain Free" we've ever published! Plus you'll be able to listen online to all previous months' recorded interviews!
How's that for a jump-start on all the latest and best information on pain relief? There's just not a better source... all in one place!

After your FREE 30-day preview membership, if you decide you want to continue receiving the "Live Pain Free" monthly newsletter and audio interview CD series, you'll pay only $19.95 per month.
I think you'll agree that "Live Pain Free" is a steal at $19.95 a month.
Considering the cost of just one visit to your chiropractor, doctor, physical therapist, specialist... OR the cost of expensive prescription and over-the-counter painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs... the money you'll save with the tips in a single monthly issue will save you loads!
Instead, what you'll learn with "Live Pain Free" are money-saving tips and cutting-edge discoveries to fix the root cause of your pain for good!
"I used to think I knew a lot about pain management but boy was I wrong. I have learned so much from your newsletter. It's one of the best investments I've ever made regarding my health. It's also one of the few things I read cover to cover. I highly recommend it!"

The Memorial Tournament is pleased to announce a multi-year pledge with Columbus Children's Hospital that extends a successful 30-year year partnership with the hospital as the Tournament's primary charitable beneficiary. Since 1976, the Memorial Tournament has raised more than $5.7 million to support the programs and services at Children's Hospital. In recognition of the Memorial's pledge, which will elevate the level of giving to more than $11 million in the coming years, Columbus Children's Hospital has announced that their newest newborn unit, currently under construction, will be dedicated as the Memorial Tournament Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
"Jack and I are so proud of the Memorial Tournament's relationship with Columbus Children's Hospital," Barbara Nicklaus said. "For years, the hospital has provided tremendous care to so many children, including our own. Columbus Children's Hospital has a special place in the hearts of the Nicklaus family."
Columbus Children's Hospital operates the largest neonatal (newborn) program in the country, and the current clinical construction project will result in a total of 133 beds dedicated to neonatal services. Fourteen new private rooms, particularly suited to the chronic patient in need of acute care, will feature an enhanced family-centered care environment that will allow parents to stay overnight at their baby's bedside. These new patient rooms will feature natural light, better sound and light control, will provide better privacy for families, and will enhance delivery of the highest quality of neonatal care by interdisciplinary teams. In addition, three rooms will enable parents of twins to stay in one room with both babies, and two rooms will provide the same comfort for parents of triplets or quadruplets.
"Our charitable relationship with Columbus Children's Hospital is a valuable part of the Memorial Tournament tradition," Jack Nicklaus said. "On behalf of the Memorial Tournament and our family, Barbara and I look forward to a continued commitment to help the children of Central Ohio and beyond."
Jack and Barbara Nicklaus began their support of Columbus Children's Hospital well before the first playing of the Memorial in 1976, and they have made the hospital a personal philanthropic priority. As the parents of five children, grandparents to 16, and leaders in the hospital's giving community, Jack and Barbara have proven their dedication to excellence in pediatric healthcare.
"We are incredibly grateful for the support of Jack and Barbara, and through their efforts, the Memorial Tournament," said Thomas N. Hansen, MD, Columbus Children's Hospital CEO. "This type of ongoing, inspirational support is vital to our mission of providing all children with access to the highest-quality pediatric care and research, regardless of ability to pay. Columbus Children's Hospital and the families we serve are most fortunate to have devoted friends like Jack, Barbara and the Memorial Tournament."
The relationship between the Memorial Tournament and Columbus Children's Hospital has existed since the first playing of the Memorial 30 years ago. The relationship revolves around the selfless dedication of the Women's Auxiliary Committee for Children's Hospital and its volunteers. This dedication is reflected in the more than 21,000 hours clocked during Tournament week by over 2,600 volunteers of the Women's Auxiliary. It is a relationship that annually generates thousands of dollars in recognition of the committee's efforts and in support of the great work being done year after year at Columbus Children's Hospital.
The Memorial Tournament is held annually at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus. The Tournament, which was founded and is hosted by Jack Nicklaus, is conducted each year with three goals in mind: to honor the memory of individuals living and deceased who have distinguished themselves in the game of golf; to showcase the world's best golfers competing on one of the most challenging venues in the world for the enjoyment of spectators; and to benefit charitable organizations in central Ohio.

This is your brain on sugar — for real. Scientists have used imaging tests to show for the first time that fructose, a sugar that saturates the US diet, can trigger brain changes that may lead to overeating.
After drinking a fructose beverage, the brain does not register the feeling of being full as it does when simple glucose is consumed, researchers found.
It is a small study and does not prove that fructose or its relative, high-fructose corn syrup, can cause obesity, but experts say it adds evidence they may play a role. These sugars often are added to processed foods and beverages, and consumption has risen dramatically since the 1970s, along with obesity. A third of US children and teens and more than two-thirds of adults are obese or overweight.
All sugars are not equal — even though they contain the same amount of calories — because they are metabolized differently in the body. Table sugar is sucrose, which is half fructose, half glucose. High-fructose corn syrup is 55 percent fructose and 45 percent glucose. Some nutrition experts say this sweetener may pose special risks, but others and the industry reject that claim.
For the study, scientists used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to track blood flow in the brain in 20 young, normal-weight people before and after they had drinks containing glucose or fructose in two sessions several weeks apart.
Scans showed that drinking glucose "turns off or suppresses the activity of areas of the brain that are critical for reward and desire for food," said one study leader, Yale University endocrinologist Robert Sherwin.
With fructose, "we don't see those changes," he said. "As a result, the desire to eat continues — it isn't turned off."
What is convincing, Oregon Health and Science University endocrinologist Jonathan Purnell said, is that the imaging results mirrored how hungry the people said they felt, as well as what earlier studies found in animals.
Researchers now are testing obese people to see if they react the same way to fructose and glucose as the normal-weight people in this study did.
What to do? Cook more at home and limit processed foods containing fructose and high-fructose corn syrup, Purnell suggested.
"Try to avoid the sugar-sweetened beverages. It doesn't mean you can't ever have them," but control their size and how often they are consumed, he said.
A second study in the journal suggests that only severe obesity carries a high death risk — and that a few extra pounds might even provide a survival advantage. However, experts say the methods are too flawed to make those claims.
The study comes from a federal researcher who drew controversy in 2005 with a report that found thin and normal-weight people had a slightly higher risk of death than those who were overweight. Many experts criticized that work, saying the researcher — Katherine Flegal of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — painted a misleading picture by including smokers and people with health problems ranging from cancer to heart disease. Those people tend to weigh less and therefore make pudgy people look healthy by comparison.
Flegal's new analysis assesses nearly 100 other studies covering almost 2.9 million people around the world. She again concludes that very obese people had the highest risk of death, but that overweight people had a 6 percent lower mortality rate than thinner people. She also concludes that mildly obese people had a death risk similar to that of normal-weight people.

I was involved at a conference recently for the Retirement Income Industry Association (RIIA) and stuck around until the last speaker on the second day.
While looking out at the room filled with rolling luggage owned by executives and advisers catching their last smartphone emails before his presentation, the speaker joked how he was happy to be the last speaker.
The speaker, William Meyer, who is the author of the book, "Social Security Strategies," held the audience from their flights for a compelling 45 minutes around a topic that most of the audience thought they knew well. The revelations from Meyer's session focused on what he pointed out to be "rat holes" that are periods of time when retirees should not take benefits.
Typically, retirees decide to take Social Security as soon as they can or when most financial experts advise it, at the age of 70. After all, you'll receive more monthly at 70 than at 62, they say. However, many Americans counter that having money in hand now is more valuable than having more eight years later. This is shown by the fact that 75% of Americans spurn the advice of waiting and take their Social Security retirement income before they're 65 with the most popular age being 62.
Yet the reality is that people who have the health and ability to wait until a later age will be financially better off if they wait to take their retirement funds from Social Security.
What Meyer stressed in his presentation at the RIAA conference which made many of the remaining attendees pick up their heads from their smartphones and pay attention was the existence of these so-called "rat holes," or "periods of time during which people should never claim benefits".
Meyer reiterated a point that he made in Bank Investment Consultant in which he pointed out that "Individuals born between 1943 and 1954 should never claim benefits between the ages of 62 and one month through 63 and 11 months, nor should they claim benefits between 65 and five months through 67 and seven months."
That article goes on to point out the same thing that Meyer told us that day, "Meyer worked through an example of a single person who claimed benefits at 62, just before the beginning of the rat hole, versus claiming benefits on "the other side of the rat hole." Claiming benefits outside the rat hole gave the individual 20% more in monthly income."
Rat holes? Considering months in addition to years as part of the Social Security discussion? Well we knew that Social Security was complex but how complex can it be?
And what does the government have to say about this? Well if you go to the government's Social Security website, you will note that full retirement is considered to be 66 years of age, which is right square in the middle of Meyer's "rat hole," or what he considers the "worst time" to take your benefits.
The decision of when to take your retirement benefits is not one to be flippant about. It requires much research and advice or else you'll leave a lot of money on the table. Not only is it your money that you'd be leaving on the table, but the reality is that Social Security is a large percentage of our retirement income for most Americans.
Shouldn't we pay more attention to it than we do than just deciding to take it "early or later"? For retirees and those planning on retiring, you need to do your research and seek advice and expertise. And most importantly, avoid those rat holes!

Who ever spent on Express Shipping from Shop-at-Home wasted their money. I ordered on Thursday (with standard shipping), last night I found the delivery confirmation in my mail box, today (Saturday) it arrived. Kudos to S@H for great service!
This is what arrived (pics = links):
I read "Ghess". That's probaly the reason for this set's number G678...
The box design is the noblest box design of a LEGO set I've ever seen. And it's really as sturdy as a suitcase should be. It's even so sturdy that you hardly get the display frame off the "letter case" where the figs lay in. (The LEGO logo on the transparent part of the frame is mirrored from my wall. Yes, I have the LEGO logo there.)
Anyway, LEGO is evil. If any prove for this thesis was necessary we get one (actually two) with this chess set:
No surprise, the board is glued. That's not even the evil thing I was speaking about. However, if you open the box like anybody who was raised in the western culture would open a book you are forced to play the Black side. LEGO makes you act evil! LEGO makes you the Shadow King! How evil is that, huh?
The board is with five tiny velcro dots fixed to the lid of the box. I wonder how often you may be able to attach the board and get it loose until the velcro dots will get ripped out...
I tried to get a black 4×4 plate loose off the white baseplate and I was able to take a look between. Don't even bother with trying to get the glued plates off: the glue has destroyed the studs on the white baseplate anyway. Alas!
Now for the figs. As Jan and Jake already stated they are not glued at all. We have:
1. The Black King
He's basically a well known Shadow knight with a cape and a crown plus a large sceptre.
2. The Black Queen
Whew! she's scary. Frankly, if I was the Black King I wouldn't like to share the bedroom with her...
She's wearing a Vladek armour with nothing underneath (No fear, she's not naked but plain black), a black dress (a 2×2×2 slope with bottom tube) and a black cape.
3. The Black Bishops
That's the second prove for LEGO to be evil: The bishop is your average Vladek. What religion might that be that allows Vladek to be a bishop? LEGO goes Chu.rch of Sa.tan¹ or what?
¹) The . are supposed to safe the CC-forum from being found through a google search for the CoS.
4. The Black Knights
This is a good source for vladekish horse helmets. I would have liked it better, though, if the black robot arm was black instead of (new) grey. The black 2×3 slopes have a smooth surface, different from the average roof brick surface.
5. The Black Rooks
Not much to say here. You get a (new) darkgrey halberd and a dark red flag. The red 2×2 round plates are not dark but normal red.
6. The Black Pawns
This is a Shadow knight with Joe-Freeman-face (like in the polybag set #5998) but with an accurate barbute helmet (unlike #5998). So be happy and rejoice! they are your ultimate source of Shodow knights.
7. The White King
That's basically King Mathias with a cape and a sceptre. I like that cape, it's the first grey one as far as I know. And I like the silver antenna with the light blue cone.
8. The White Queen
Her royal majesty is a chinese lady! Her face is from the Chinese Girl of the Orient series, though she's probably older as the colour of her hair seems to prove. She shares the hairdresser with Professor Dumbledore.
Underneath her Jayko armour she's wearing plain babyblue, and she also comes with a grey cape.
9. The White Bishops
Is the Chess kingdom Anglican? If they are catholic: Poor Jayko! He'll never have a wife. On the other hand that means that the babyblue population will be coming to an end...
10. The White Knights
Same goes for the whithe horse as for the black one. Except the (new) grey robot arm is appropriate here.
11. The White Rooks
Not much to say here, either. For those building with new grey parts this is a nice source of (new) grey 2×2 round bricks. And fourbladed pikes are useful as well. The two 2×2 round plates are babyblue, and so is the flag.
12. The White Pawns
Now those are curious. The torso is that Jayko torso from the tabletop game and from the clocks. The babyblue helmet and the crossbow are ... funny at least. Not sure how useful they are. Anyway. But where does this face come from? First guess was: It's Danju. But it's not. Second guess was: It's the wizard from the Citadel set. But it's not either. So I humbly have to admit I do not know what else fig comes with that face. Is it an entirely new one? Is it a pattern from any licenced line but on a yellow head?
So much for the figs.
Well, one fig finally found its home: , although that's obviously not to the other kings' taste:
With that I leave.
(If the admins think this post would better be in a new thread just go ahead and move it.)

Costilla County man set ablaze on Valentine's Day
Name: Casey Berry, 25
Status:Missing under suspicious circumstances
Investigative agency: Costilla County Sheriff's Office
Date missing: Feb. 14, 2007
Cause of Death:allegedly shot
Suspect: Bob
Casey Berry was a free spirit.
The 25-year-old man smoked pot, planted trees in the wilderness and worked on cars. He also lived off the grid.
It is one of the reasons that after he was allegedly shot five times in the head on Valentine's Day in 2007 and his remains burned in a car in a remote area in the San Luis Valley, word of his demise didn't make it's way to authorities for more than a month.
The Costilla County Sheriff's Office officially classifies Berry's case as endangered missing under suspicious circumstances.

Steel buildings
I was wondering if anybody has bought a steel building kit, and how happy/disappointed they are with it. I have sent off to a few makers to get catalogues and pricing info. The building size I'm interested in is about 24'wide 30'-35'long and 12'-14' high. Is there anything I should know about before deciding to buy? I don't plan on buying just yet, but by this time next year I will be, just doing some research before I do.
Waz Up BstMech?
Ive considered the steel bld myself and checked into it and heres what I know.
1. They are do it yourself kits.
2. They use no truses.
3. They come with no front or back wall.
4. there very affordable.
5. if U sent for info, your phone will be ringing wild!
I think there a good deal. You need to build a front and back, which is pretty cheap. I also like that theres no wasted space. Every bit of room is useable. Check with em for repo's to, they are real cheap. They offered me like a 40X60 for 2000 bucks one time, but I wasnt ready. Dont forget you have to supply the floor, gravel, concrete to, but I think there hard to beat. HG
I was built with the body of a God! To bad it was buddah.

I bought a steel arch building off of my brother, havn't put it up yet, still need a footer. I helped a buds family put one up about 2 miles awayy from me, its pretty simple to put up, you'll need scaffling to thand on to put the top arches on, or if you know a electric or cable company guy that has a bucket truck, those work great and there pretty fun to play with too If your in a hurricane or tornado zone I don't recomend the steel buildings, they will rip apart like a pop can no matter what the brochure says. If you are in one of those areas and have the cash look into monolithic domes, they are indestructable, energy efficient and great for garages or houses. You can check them out here I highly recomend them.
Yeah, I did a little more searching, and found a 30'x40' with a 10'x10' overhead door and entry door (no windows or skylight) for $2930. I like the modular type like you're talkin' bout (sounds real easy to assemble). A couple of the places offer end walls overhead doors etc., I'll see what kind of price though. If I can get me a decent size garage for less than $5000 complete with slab, I'll be happy, especially if they finance. I'll be checking into any building permits/restrictions pretty soon. I don't think I'll have any problems (out of city limits), but it is a residential area. It will be the only building on the lot that belongs to a friend and I, we have it looking like a junkyard now and no complaints so far (that's what I love about Tennessee ).
Those domes are cool, but I bet out of price range. I see alot of steel buildings (garage type) around here, and they are still standing. There were a couple tornados hit close to here a couple months ago, and we had high winds too. Some kit makers asked about local snow load, and wind rating codes, so they know to include anchors and cross cables to the kit (I'll make sure to check into that as well). That's funny you mention the wind, reminds me of a bad experience. I was living in the middle of the desert outside Phx, and wasn't worried about theft (in fact we "welcomed" strangers ). Anyway, I bought this portable carport (12'x20') from Home depot to work in the shade on cars. One day the wind took my "carport", and relocated it on top of a Palo Verde tree and tipped my toolbox over. When I recovered the carport, I now had a 12'x12' carport that was about a foot shorter because I buried the poles about a foot deep in concrete. The frame still stands to this day, and my younger brother is in the process of building a more ridgid roof for it. I still hate the wind.
Well.....I bought and built my 30x40x12 shop behind my house from slab to roof. I took a week off work to build it.
I got a weld together "kit" which is basically just all the stuff you need to make your own cuts and assemble the building. I just talked to the guy who I bought it from to get the particulars on building it. It was not at all difficult after talking to someone on the details. You will need a lift of some sort for setting the main trusses, but other than that I used the buddy system for any help I needed.
As for price I paid $3800 delivered to my house for the frame and sheet metal. It was $1200 for the insulation.
In the insulation department I would definately insulate it. You will regret it if you dont. My shop is cool in the summer and easily heated with a 1.5 ton Heat Pump in the winter.
I used some insulation called Astrofoil. It is a bit more expensive...maybe .04 cents per spuare foot, but worth it. It has a R19 insulation value and is only 1/4" thick. It is really easy to work with as well. It looks like the stuff then use for windshield visors in cars. If you want to see what it looks like, look at my photo album. You can see it in the background on my s-10 picks.
Any other questions I can probably answer because I did all the research about 2 years ago.
Thanks for the input guys.
Turbo, you have a message.

Consumer group says sunscreens have improved, but chemical concerns persist
(CBS News) The Environmental Working Group (EWG) - a non-profit organization concerned with consumer well-being and safe products - says in its latest report that there are more safe sunscreens to use this year. The bad news? Only 25 percent of the 1,800 products the group tested were recommended by the group.
In its sixth annual report, the EWG noted that there was a decrease in the use of allergy-inducing "fragrance" chemicals and oxybenzone, a hormone-disrupting chemical that mimics estrogen, compared to products on last year's list.
It also reported a decrease in products containing retinyl palmitate, a synthetic form of vitamin A. Past research by the National Center for Toxicological Research and the National Toxicology program have shown that tumors in rats whose skin was covered with a cream containing retinyl palmitate grew 11 to 21 percent faster than rats who didn't have the substance, TIME reported.
One-fourth of sunscreens contained the substance this year, as opposed to one-third last year. Also, more minerals were found in beach and sport sunscreens, which the EWG recommended as a good choice for children, people with sensitive skin and others who didn't want harmful chemicals in their products. About 60 percent of almost 180 sunscreen products marketed for children contained mineral ingredients, the EWG said, compared to 40 percent of other sunscreens.
Some other concerns arose in the report. First, only half the sunscreens would pass the FDA's "broad spectrum" test. While many sunscreens contain adequate UVB protection, not that many sunscreens have proper UVA protection. Many of the products would not qualify for the European market under current regulations.
UVA, which accounts for 95 percent of all radiation coming to earth, is what causes premature aging and gets deeper in the skin, according to SkinCancer.org. More recently, it has been discovered that it causes damaged skin cells in the basal layer of the skin, which is where most skin cancers occur. UVB is what causes reddening and sun burns.
The Food and Drug Administration has delayed an update on sunscreen regulations that would ease confusion on how much protection sunscreens actually provide. New rules were supposed to ban all SPFs over 50 because it was hard to test their veracity, put stricter regulations on sunscreens that claimed to be water-resistant -- virtually eliminating the term water-proof -- and make companies say how effective their UVA and UVB protection was, HealthPopreported. The FDA originally wanted the updates in place for the summer in June, but now major companies have until December to comply, and smaller businesses will have another year to make sure their products are up to par.
"FDA's decades of foot-dragging has brought us a marketplace of mostly subpar sunscreen products," said Environmental Working Group senior analyst Nneka Leiba, said in the press release. "While we're grateful to see the general market improve, we wish we could assure consumers that 100 percent of sunscreens sold in the US are effective and safe. We can't."
The Personal Care Products Council, an industry trade group, disputes the safety allegations related to retinly palmitate and oxybenzone that are contained in the EWG's report, saying both ingredients are FDA-approved.
"Consumers can be confident that sunscreen products, when used as directed and as part of an overall safe sun regimen, are safe and will help protect them from skin cancer, premature skin aging, and other damaging effects of the sun," the Council said in a statement.

With datastore identity you are leaving the assignment of id's to DataNucleus and your class will not have a field for this identity - it will be added to the datastore representation by DataNucleus. It is, to all extents and purposes a surrogate key that will have its own column in the datastore. To specify that a class is to use datastore identity with JDO, you add the following to the MetaData for the class.
<class name="MyClass" identity-type="datastore"> ... </class>
or using JDO annotations
@PersistenceCapable(identityType=IdentityType.DATASTORE) public class MyClass { ... }
So you are specifying the identity-type as datastore . You don't need to add this because datastore is the default, so in the absence of any value, it will be assumed to be 'datastore'.
By choosing datastore identity you are handing the process of identity generation to the JDO implementation. This does not mean that you haven't got any control over how it does this. JDO 2 defines many ways of generating these identities and DataNucleus supports all of these and provides some more of its own besides.
Defining which one to use is a simple matter of adding a MetaData element to your classes definition, like this
<class name="MyClass" identity-type="datastore"> <datastore-identity strategy="sequence" sequence="MY_SEQUENCE"/> ... </class> <class name="MyClass" identity-type="datastore"> <datastore-identity strategy="identity"/> ... </class>
or using annotations, for example
@PersistenceCapable @DatastoreIdentity(strategy="sequence", sequence="MY_SEQUENCE") public class MyClass { ... }
Some of the datastore identity strategies require additional attributes, but the specification is straightforward.
See also :-
When using datastore identity , the class has no associated field so you can't just access a field of the class to see its identity - if you need a field to be able to access the identity then you should be usingapplication identity. There are, however, ways to get the identity for the datastore identity case, if you have the object.
Object id = pm.getObjectId(obj);
Object id = JDOHelper.getObjectId(obj);
You should be aware however that the "identity" is in a complicated form, and is not available as a simple integer value for example. Again, if you want an identity of that form then you should use application identity
When implementing datastore identity all JDO implementations have to provide a public class that represents this identity. If you call pm.getObjectId(...) for a class using datastore identity you will be passed an object which, in the case of DataNucleus will be of type org.datanucleus.identity.OIDImpl . If you were to call "toString()" on this object you would get something like
1[OID]mydomain.MyClass This is made up of :- 1 = identity number of this object class-name
The definition of this datastore identity is JDO implementation dependent. As a result you should not use the org.datanucleus.identity.OID class in your application if you want to remain implementation independent
DataNucleus allows you the luxury of being able to provide your own datastore identity class so you can have whatever formatting you want for identities.
If you have the JDO identity then you can access the object with that identity like this
Object obj = pm.getObjectById(id);
You can also access the object from the object class name and the toString() form of the datastore identity (e.g "1[OID]mydomain.MyClass") like this
Object obj = pm.getObjectById(MyClass.class, mykey);

Suppose we have a Quillen adjunction $L\colon {\mathcal C} \leftrightarrow {\mathcal D}: R$. For convenience let us assume that all objects of $\mathcal C$ are cofibrant and all objects of $\mathcal D$ are fibrant, so that $L$ and $R$ are homotopy functors. Let $(L', R')$ be another Quillen adjunction. Let's suppose that we have a natural transformation $\alpha_L\colon L \to L'$. It induces a natural transformation $\alpha_R\colon R' \to R$. Let us assume that $\alpha_L$ is a weak equivalence. If I am not mistaken, it follows that $\alpha_R$ is a weak equivalence.
Let $T$ and $T'$ be the monads $RL$ and $R'L'$ respectively. As far as I see, in general there is no map of monads between $T$ and $T'$.
Question : Are the homotopy categories of $T$ algebras and $T'$-algebras equivalent?
Remark : The adjunction $(L, R)$ induces a Quillen adjunction between $T$-algebras and $\mathcal D$. This adjunction is sometimes (quite often?) a Quillen equivalence. In this case one may say that $T$ satisfies homotopy descent. It seems that if $T$ satisfies homotopy descent, then so does $T'$, and in this case Ho$(T-\mathrm{alg})$ and Ho$(T'-\mathrm{alg})$ are equivalent, since both are equivalent to Ho$(\mathcal D)$. I want to know if there is a direct way to compare algebras over $T$ and $T'$, without using descent.

HARRISBURG – Young Pennsylvanians interested in pursuing environmental careers are invited to apply by April 15 for the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources' summer residential camp.
The Exploring Careers Outdoors Camp, or ECO Camp, will introduce 20 to 25 students in grades 10-12 to conservation and environmental careers.
"ECO Camp has become one of DCNR's strongest success stories since its beginning 11 years ago," DCNR Secretary Richard Allan said. "We've successfully worked with hundreds of young people to hone their awareness of the natural world and the variety of related careers available to them."
This year's camp will begin Sunday, July 7, at Kirby Episcopal House and Chapel, Mountain Top, Luzerne County. The camp is near Nescopeck State Park and about 10 miles south of Wilkes-Barre.
The six-day camp will include everything from wildlife conservation projects and stream sampling to forestry skills. Daily activities will offer students a hands-on, team-building learning experience in an outdoor setting.
Participants will be exposed to a wide range of career experiences, including water quality assessments, geology field studies, and overnight camping experiences. They will also meet conservation professionals to learn about career opportunities.
"Many DCNR employees have supported this camp effort, some year after year," Allan said. "Past campers have come from small towns and large cities, forming a unique pool of intelligence, spirit and commitment to environmental improvement."
Offered free of charge, the instruction and daily activities will be overseen by specialists and officials of DCNR's bureaus of state parks, forestry, and topographic and geologic survey. After the camp, attendees will have a chance to seek internships, mentoring and job-shadowing positions.

By Elvin Lim
Senator Edward Kennedy called healthcare reform the "the great unfinished business of our time." Now it is finished. Every branch of the US government has had its say. The Supreme Court decision also marks the end of the Rehnquist era. No longer can we reliably predict that it would always send powers back to the states. Indeed, it said "No" to 26 states which had challenged the Affordable Care Act.
This is also, incontrovertibly, a victory for Obama. Today, John Boehner called the Act a "harmful" law. Mitch McConnell called it "terrible." Romney called it "bad." But none of them can call it "unconstitutional" anymore, taking the wind out of the Tea Party's sails.
Sure, this is now a rallying and fund-raising issue for Romney, but it's always been an issue. The conservative base now knows that the only way to repeal the Affordable Care Act is to take out Obama. The difference between a conservative and an independent voter, however, is that only the former looks back. Swing voters at the presidential lever will appreciate a conservative Chief Justice's endorsement of the Affordable Care Act and won't care anymore after this. This is now a done deal. It re-establishes Obama as a leader because he joins Lincoln and FDR as a winner in tumultous politics.
If Obama follows up and wins the election this year, we may be in for a resurgent Age of Government after three decades of retrenchment. FDR caused the nine (justices) to switch in time in 1937. Obama caused only one, but then again he pushed through a law that FDR knew he couldn't do. And the one justice to switch was a Chief Justice appointed by his Republican predecessor no less.
To be sure, the Court did reject the administration's argument that the Interstate Commerce clause legitimated the individual mandate. Chief Justice Roberts, however, argued that the Supreme Court's job is to mine the Constitution for arguments — even when the administration failed to find or emphasize them — to sustain acts passed by Congress. In ruling that the mandate is constitutional under the taxing and spending powers of the Congress, he exercised, in his mind, the duty of judicial restraint and deference to the elected branches. In this, he acted like the Justice George W. Bush thought he had nominated to the bench.
However, the constitutional reasoning Roberts proffered — that the individual mandate is a tax (and the Attorney General explicitly said it was not) — is way beyond what Bush or any conservative would have liked. People aren't quite coming to grips with this fact yet. The congressional power to tax is a massive power and by failing or refusing to make a clear and distinct separation between what is a tax and what is penalty (Roberts gave three very weak reasons), this decision delivered a huge victory for "big government" liberals. Almost anything can henceforth be classified a tax and therefore permissible under the taxing and spending clause of the Constitution.
The Anti-Federalists of 1787/88 were right; where the purse lies, so does sovereignty. Publius, or at least Hamilton, knew it too, but he kept mum about it because his goal had always been a "consolidation" of federal authority. Today, Justice Roberts unknowingly but effectively extinguished the (already specious) distinction between a tax and a penalty. When Republicans now turn their argument to calling "Obamacare" "Obamatax," they are fighting on much weaker ground than before because the taxing and spending powers of Congress are massive. Yet this power was among the principal reasons for why the Constitution was written in the first place. What John Roberts did, in effect, was to force conservatives back their original ground and show their true colors. They are, at heart, Anti-Federalists who are no more appreciative of a powerful federal government in 1787 than in 2012.
Liberals shouldn't get too smug yet though. The individual mandate is not the panacea of our still very flawed health-care system. Thirty million or so people are now going to be in the system in 2014 and they will move from emergency rooms to already crowded primary care physician offices. This is the start of healthcare reform, not the end. But it is also the start of an era where government is no longer seen as the problem. It may yet prove to be the solution again.

Samantha Reber tallied a pair of goals in a 5-2 win over New Hampshire Friday night (Gil Talbot).
Highlights: Women's Hockey vs. New Hampshire
Katey Stone Postgame Comments
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard women's hockey team jumped out to a 4-0 lead and cruised to a win over New Hampshire, 5-2, Friday night at Bright Hockey Center. Samantha Reber found the back of the net twice for the Crimson and Lyndsey Fry added a goal and two assists to help Harvard to the non-conference victory, wrapping up the 2011 portion of the schedule.
Harvard dominated the first period of action with 14 shots on goal, while limiting New Hampshire to just four. Jillian Dempsey got the scoring started early for the Crimson, 4:26 into the first frame. The tally from in front of the net off of an assist from Fry and Josephine Pucci was Dempsey's team-high ninth goal of the season. Kaitlin Spurling gave Harvard a two-goal lead when her shot from the left circle found its way past New Hampshire goalie Moe Bradley with 1:07 remaining in the first.
The Crimson kept up the heat in the second stanza, potting two more goals and taking a 4-1 edge into the final break. With 5:52 gone in the frame, Josephine Pucci slid a pass to Sarah Edney at the point and Edney fired a shot that was redirected by Reber past Bradley for a 3-0 lead.
Harvard was back at it three minutes later as Lyndsey Fry's impressive individual effort led to the hosts' fourth goal of the game. Fry collected a clearance pass from Michelle Picard in her own half of the ice, weaved into the UNH zone and waited out the Wildcat defense for the right angle, firing true from the right faceoff circle. Nicole Gifford got the guests on the board with her eighth goal of the season at 17:12 of the second to cut New Hampshire's deficit to three.
Reber scored for a second time when Fry sent the puck to the top of the crease and the game's first-star converted past a sprawling New Hampshire goalie with 7:46 gone in the third. New Hampshire managed one more tally on a late 5-on-3 opportunity, but it was all it could muster in the 5-2 defeat.
Laura Bellamy finished the game with 17 saves and improves her record to 8-4-0 on the season. The Crimson ends its 2011 portion of the schedule on a three-game winning streak.
Harvard's next game comes after the New Year when it takes on its third-straight Hockey East opponent Connecticut Jan. 3, 2012. The puck will drop in Storrs, Conn., at 7 p.m.

The question ultimately becomes, "What purpose drives your business?" Suffice it to say, the vast majority of American businesses are no longer guided by a consciously Christian conception of reality (a Christian worldview), in which business is understood as a redemptive instrument that either serves to fulfill the dominion mandate or advance Christ's kingdom. And, given the fact that only 4 percent of Americans (77 percent of whom claim to be Christian) possess even a rudimentary understanding of the Christian worldview, according to recent research, the church is presently doing very little to reverse this condition.
Presently, and by every measurable account, this former depth of theological wisdom applied to public life has been largely forgotten. As a result, many Christians have come to understand the role of their faith in the marketplace in overly simplistic terms. Today, being a Christian businessman is almost always reduced to nothing more than personal piety and evangelism in the workplace: "Be good and try to convert your coworkers." Others may feel that giving a portion of their profits to missions fulfills their business's missional purpose. While these activities are indeed good, this worldview of business remains inadequate in advancing the all-encompassing redemptive mission of Christ, that is, the kingdom. The fact is, there is often little operational difference between Christian and non-Christian owned businesses, meaning the Christian-owned business doesn't offer a substantive glimpse of what life looks like under the reign of God.
Here, I want to be very clear. The root cause of this deficiency is not found in the mere absence of worldview knowledge. Simply teaching the Christian worldview of business and economics alone won't solve the problem. No, the weakness of the contemporary Christian understanding of business originates in a larger, more fundamental issue: a failure to understand the biblical gospel. Today, when evangelicals speak of the gospel, they almost always mean, simply, the personal plan of salvation. This is generally limited to an activity in which we present people with some facts about Jesus, ask them to agree with these facts, and if they do, instruct them to invite him into their lives, or pray the sinner's prayer. Once they do this, we tell them, "You are saved!" and look for the next prospect. And this, we teach, is the Christian's highest calling in life.
We've heard this version of the gospel so many times that we don't even bother to question it—we simply accept it as "the gospel." However, when we put aside our culturally induced conceptions and study the scriptures, we discover that we have unwittingly embraced a truncated version of the gospel whose implications are almost entirely personal. In truth, the gospel, according to Scripture, focuses far less on Jesus' substitutionary death for us and much more on His kingdom (not that these two are mutually exclusive).
According to the Scripture, Jesus enters history proclaiming, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news" (Mark 1:15). Throughout the New Testament Jesus speaks and teaches about the "good news of the kingdom," the announcement that God's long awaited reign has finally broken into our world in a new and decisive way to restore God's lost creation. The unmerited gift we receive is admission into his kingdom; his mission is now our mission. And that mission isn't the expansion of the church, it is the expansion of the kingdom—the loving rule and reign of God that has come, is coming, and will one day be complete when all things are finally and forever made new.
The Messianic expectation throughout the Old Testament underscores the coming of God's reign over the whole world, as N. T. Wright notes:
They were not thinking about how to secure themselves a place in heaven after they died. The phrase "kingdom of heaven," which we find frequently in Matthew's gospel where the others have "kingdom of God" does not refer to a place called "heaven," where God's people will go after death. It refers to the rule of heaven, that is, of God, being brought to bear in the present world. Thy kingdom come, said Jesus, thy will be done, on earth as in heaven. Jesus' contemporaries knew that the creator God intended to bring justice and peace to his world here and now (Wright, The Challenge of Jesus [Downers Grove, IL: IVP, 2001], 36-37).Can you see the difference? If we think of the gospel only in terms of personal salvation, then our natural tendency is towards rescuing individuals from this world. The emphasis centers more on evacuation to a better place after death. Practically speaking, this view teaches that this world really doesn't matter. If, however, we understand the gospel in relation to the kingdom of God coming into the world, then we see that the world does matter to God—and he calls us to occupy and redeem it as ambassadors of the King and his kingdom. This kingdom is not a country or place, neither is it a future heaven or the church. The kingdom is about the dynamic of God's kingship being applied here and now in every aspect of society and culture. By narrowing their view of the gospel, many Christians don't see their daily work as a holy calling because it doesn't directly advance evangelism. By divorcing the kingdom from the gospel, we don't see that our vocations and businesses can and should serve to advance the kingdom of God on earth.
This is the purpose of the Kingdom Project™—to help Christian business leaders leverage their business as a redemptive instrument that transforms the culture and gives evidence of God's in-breaking reign. This is very different than trying to leverage the principles and values of Christianity for the benefit of your business.
If you are a business owner or executive who desires to deepen your vocational calling and purpose by seeking to serve the kingdom, I want to encourage you to apply for the Kingdom Project. There is no cost and no commitment. Once you apply, I will personally speak with you about how "corporate discipleship" may serve you so you can better serve the kingdom.
