Burmese security forces shot dead an ethnic Rakhine and wounded two others on Tuesday as they opened fire when several thousand Buddhist Rakhines staged protests and moved to oust Muslim residents from a village, according to eyewitnesses.
The shooting at Kyauknimaw village in Ramree township came as the government strove to bring more than a week of communal clashes under control in troubled Rakhine state, amid U.N. warnings that the violence threatens to derail Burma's political reform process.
At least 84 people have died, 129 others have been wounded and 28,000 made homeless in the clashes between mostly Muslim Rohingyas and Rakhines, according to official figures.
Some 4,600 houses have also been burned down in the worst violence since June, when clashes left more than 80 dead and 75,000, mostly Rohingyas, displaced and now continuing to live in overcrowded camps.
With the new influx, the camps are being stretched beyond capacity in terms of space, shelter, and basic supplies such as food and water amid a lack of doctors to treat the sick and wounded, the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) warned Tuesday.
Illegal immigrants
Burma's 800,000 stateless Rohingyas, whom the United Nations considers among the world's most persecuted minorities, are seen by the government and by many Burmese as illegal immigrants from neighboring Bangladesh.
The Rohingyas bore the brunt of the June and latest violence.
But other Muslims, like the Karman group, have also been affected by the clashes.
In Maungdaw, the port town north of Rakhine's capital Sittwe, RFA reporters visited Rakhine and Rohingya refugee camps and villages and found the evacuees and villagers concerned over their security.
Rakhine refugees described the difficulties of camp life and their ongoing fear of attacks by Muslims.
Rohingyas said their main complaint is that, under the terms of martial law in the area, Rohingya movements are tightly restricted, making it difficult for them to go into town to obtain food.
Radical force
The 10-nation Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), of which Burma is a member, warned this week that the Rohingya could turn into a radical force, calling for urgent regional attention to end the Rakhine crisis.
"The situation is deteriorating and there is now a risk of a radicalization of the Rohingya. This would not be good for anyone," ASEAN Secretary-General Surin Pitsuwan said. "This would have wider strategic and security implications for the region."
The UNHCR on Tuesday expressed alarm at the renewed violence, with spokesman Adrian Edwards saying, "It is clearly urgent that law and order be restored to prevent further violence, and that access is facilitated so that aid can be provided to those in need."
The UNHCR had joined an interagency visit to some of the violence-affected areas.
"We saw widespread destruction and displacement. Our staff noted that many of the internally displaced people are in extremely hard-to-reach areas," Edwards said in a statement.
Fleeing in boats
More than 3,000 people have fled in boats toward the state capital, Sittwe, to seek assistance in existing camps for internally displaced people, he said.
"It is estimated that another 6,000 people are stranded on boats or on islets along Myanmar's [Burma's] western coast. They are looking for safe access to places where they can receive assistance."
UNHCR meanwhile appealed to neighboring countries to keep their borders open for those people seeking safety from the unrest in Rakhine state.
"We stand ready to assist governments in addressing this evolving humanitarian emergency," Edwards said

Empanadas de Maiz
(Makes about 12)
Instagram Video Instructions: #hthwithrecipes #hthwithempanadas
Empanadas de Maiz are little pockets of *whatever* you want, wrapped in a delicious layer of corn masa, or dough. They fry up crispy on the outside and have a delightful texture on the inside. I started making them because I really needed something other than tacos to feed the family while still being able to use the staples I typically have; leftover meat, Maseca, salsa, oil.) They are similar to tacos in terms of flavor but the presentation is so fun and different that everyone thinks we're having something new and exciting! I guess there's just something about any kind of food in the shape of a pocket. J
We usually fill them with leftover shredded pork or chicken, but you can use whatever meat you have and want to use. You can take leftover chicken, pork, beef, ground turkey or any other filling you want, season it with the salsa recipe in this book or your favorite red or green sauce. Any filling you use will need to be cooked down so that it's not too wet. You want it moist but not liquidy, otherwise it will soak through the masa. Think ground beef taco meat…flavorful, moist, with a little bit of a sauce but not dripping out of your tortilla. No matter what filling you use, that's what you're going for! Herdez brand salsas make some pretty great green sauces for chicken and pork. (They often have coupons on their bottles or online for added savings.) I would use a tomato or red chili based sauce for red meats.
Once you've made your filling, set it aside to cool to room temp. If the filling is warm, it will basically melt the masa and leave you with holes in your empanadas before you even get to fry them!
2 cups Maseca or other Corn Masa Flour (cornmeal or corn flour will not work. You need masa intended for making tortillas.)
1 ¼ cups lukewarm water (you may need a little more)
½ tsp salt
3 cups filling of your choice
Oil for frying
Equipment Needed:
Tortilla press or a glass pie pans if you don't have a press
Plastic (either a ziplock cut down the sides to make a long piece of plastic or a grocery produce bag, which is my personal favorite)
Mix the Maseca and salt in a bowl. Add water. Mix until you have a nice cohesive dough. If the dough is sticky, add a little more masa. If its dry, add a little water, a tsp at a time, until smooth. Divide into 12 pieces.
If using a press, line with plastic of your choice. Place a ball of dough in the center of the plastic, fold the plastic over the top of the ball, and press. Put a 2-3 tablespoons of filling in the center of the flattened masa. Using one side of the plastic, fold the masa over itself to envelop the filling. Press around the edges with your fingers, through the plastic, until fully sealed. Peel back plastic, remove the empanada and set aside on another piece of plastic or wax paper. Do not stack them or put them on another surface as they will likely stick. Search #hthwithrecipes and #hthwithempanadas on Instagram for a video tutorial.
If using a glass pie pan, place a sheet of your plastic on the counter. Put the masa ball in the center of it. Top with another layer of plastic. Press the masa down between the plastic sheets, using the pie pan. By using a clear glass pan, you'll be able to see when its nice and flat. Use the plastic to fold the empanada over itself, pressing through the plastic to seal. Search #hthwithrecipes and #hthwithempanadas on Instagram for a video tutorial.
Once you're done preparing them, add enough oil to a heavy bottomed skillet to come up about 1/3 of the way. Heat over medium to medium-high heat. Once oil is about 350*, carefully fry the empanadas on each side, until golden. About 2 on each side. P.S., I don't temp my oil. I place the corner of an empanada in the oil, and if it sizzles we go for it. Ha! If the empanadas start to brown too quickly, reduce heat. If the oil doesn't seem to be cooking them quickly enough, increase heat just a bit.
Once they are golden on both sides, remove and set on paper towels or cooling rack over a plate to drain. Sprinkle with salt.
Serve with sour cream, salsa (recipe for both in "building blocks" chapter) or any other dipping sauce you enjoy! Here's a tip: Blend together the sour cream, salsa and an avocado for an awesome, nutritious cream sauce!
Almost done…

Redhatter replied to krispy89's topic in Tech TalkWhat weirdo wears a watch on their hand? I wear mine on my right wrist.
How dare you! I demand you retract this slanderous comment! I actually didnt expect such a fast response, and had to wait to hear back from the old man. Slanderous in what way? There was no acknowledgement of the queries until now, and one key one was how this 1TB of data was being copied over, and what the effect was. I can understand there being a delay in finding this information out, however a lack of any kind of feedback, even a "I'll check up on this" can go a long way. In any case, the comment is posted now, and you yourself have quoted it. It is impossible for me to retract as I do not have permissions to edit your post.
Blast from the Past II: 286 build
Redhatter replied to DonutKing's topic in Tech TalkHmmm, that video card looks familiar... Good to know the monitor works though, and I did wonder about the RCA jacks. The monitor and video card came with my old 286 that SquallStrife has now. I had it running Windows 3.1 with the EGA card, but it ran better with the ET4000 I put in there. As for the DIP switches, they may have been inadvertently bumped in storage, which could explain why they needed some fiddling. Nicely done though. Shall be interesting to see the rig put through its paces.
Redhatter started following Can't transfer files over 1tb, Blast from the Past II: 286 build, render using atoms insteadof polygons, in games and and 3 others
Indeed... there is no way in hell that I'd choose to take on a car door. My first preference would be to avoid it. But, given the load I carry on my bike, I think I'd do more than scratch the paintwork if I were to collide with an open door. Saying goodbye door is in all probability, an overestimate of what would happen. Yes, it'll make a mess of the bike, it'll make a mess of me, and all my gear. I don't think the door would come out unscathed. I for one, hope I never test the hypothesis however. It's not worth the pain IMO.
Guess if it hasn't happened in 28 years, it can't possibly ever happen, right? I'm going to leave this discussion there, and let you mull over it for a bit.

Redhatter replied to kikz's topic in Tech TalkHmm, real as in the square root of -1?
Buying electronics from overseas
Redhatter replied to Khamûl's topic in The Green RoomThe thing to be mindful here, is that as you're importing a device intended for a different market, you really do need to do your research as to whether that device will (1) work as intended, and (2) not cause problems. Things to be mindful of: Power requirements: A device intended to run on 110V only, will smoke when you plug it into 230V. (Rare these days, since most power supplies are switch-mode today and can run ~90V to 250V no problems.) Communications standards: e.g. in the US they use ATSC for digital television, here in Australia we use DVB-T, in Europe they use DAB for digital radio, here we use DAB+. There's also a digital broadcast radio standard called DRM which is mainly used with Shortwave stations. Emissions: Some countries are more lax about conducted and radiated emissions permissible from a device than here in Australia. Operating Frequency: For wireless equipment, different countries have different spectrum allocation arrangements. e.g. in some parts of the world, 147MHz is an ISM frequency but here in Australia, that's smack bang in the middle of the FM part of the 2m amateur band, and you'll get fox-hunted should you try using devices such as cordless headphones, etc that use that frequency. In NZ they use 26MHz for HF CB whereas we use 27MHz here in Australia. In the US, 220MHz is the 1.25m amateur band, whereas here, IIRC it's in the upper VHF television frequencies. Telephony devices: Any equipment that is to be plugged into the Public Switched Telephony Network must carry the ACMA Regulatory Compliance Mark. There are a number of other traps one can fall into. Interestingly, it is not illegal to own a device that falls under one of the above categories, but it may be illegal to use it. One really does have to do some homework … if you're unable to, then you should question whether importing the device yourself is such a good idea.
Could be … a lot of these phones have sizeable flash storage these days. As I say, I'll stick to the ZTE I have thanks, it may not do the really fancy stuff, but 600MB is more than half the quota I have on the phone.
Makes me wonder why these companies don't expose those buttons via some interface for end user purposes. You'd think exposing those as a Bluetooth device and having a plug-in that can be installed in your media player of choice to enable control from those buttons would be a hit with some drivers.
Perhaps the problem is not so much the buttons, but their location. Fumbling for buttons in traffic is bad, you need to know exactly where they are without looking. I wonder if there's such a thing as a numeric keypad that can connect via Bluetooth, you could mount that somewhere handy on your dashboard, and programme up your media player to respond to those keys. That or if your device has USB host capability, use that. I've got a similar problem using the radio on the bicycle. In fact, fumbling around for buttons is highly dangerous in traffic in my case, as my steering will be more unsteady one-handed. My solution: Most of the radios I use have a remote capability on the hand-microphone. In the case of the Yaesu FT-290RII and the Kenwood TH-F7E, both have up/down buttons for changing channels (on the Kenwood, they're programmable). The Yaesu FT-8[159]7 have up/down and a third "fast tuning" button on the handmic. The solution for me was to mount a small panel on the handlebars, one button for PTT, and four direction buttons: At the moment, none of my radios use the "left" direction button, but a homebrew set that I build, might. Up/down go up and down in frequency, and on the FT-897D, pressing the right-hand button toggles "fast" mode, or holding it down powers the radio on/off. The buttons could equally be used to control a media player, e.g. "PTT" becomes play/pause, left/right becomes prev/next track (or seek), up/down becomes prev/next album, etc. Something like that, positioned close to, but out of the way of your usual vehicular controls might do the trick for you.
Post Your Latest Real Life Purchase!
Redhatter replied to Lanzer's topic in The Green RoomHaven't bought yet, but I've just sent an email asking for a quote to purchase one of these: Largely because I've been using this on the bike, which although good for what it does, is a heavy lump of a radio. Update: Purchased it today ... turns out someone had bought one thinking it was a land mobile HF radio, so $1003 later, and one should be on its way from Hervey Bay tomorrow.
Atomic is relatively quicker than most other computer forums, I've found. Depends on your timezone I suppose … at 4:00AM (UTC+10) this site crawls along. I know, I used to get up at that hour regularly.
No signal Detected
Redhatter replied to alexdtree's topic in Building, Troubleshooting & ModdingCare to elaborate on the "having trouble booting"? I lost my crystal ball in the floods. I might wear a pointy hat but I'm no wizard.
Well, evidently the OP is an ask-and-run type, not sticking around to read the answer or give further detail… Back when I used to participate on IRC, it was one of my pet hates, was the person who wanted an immediate response 24/7.
And the crummy ZTE I have does pretty much everything I need it to do. Up the top of my list being able to make and receive voice calls, send/receive text messages, and tether it for an Internet connection. It can even keep people informed on where I'm located, so they don't have to ring me up to find where I'm at: It also doesn't need to spend 60% of my mobile Internet quota for system updates. Oh, and there's no such thing as an "Android" product. In this case chrisg was talking about a Samsung product, which isn't any more an Android product than this MacBook a (Gentoo) Linux product, or most peoples' computers on this forum, Windows products.

The sheer size and weight of HGVs means that they are susceptible to certain risks not shared by all other road users. One of these is jack-knifing, an exceptionally dangerous phenomenon that's one of the deadliest type of accidents that drivers can face. Thankfully, Vision Techniques' StopSafe technology can help HGV drivers avoid jack-knifing. Below, we explain more about how, but first we'll explain a little more about jack-knifing itself.
Jack-knifing is a danger faced by drivers of HGVs with two separate parts: the cab (sometimes known as the 'traction unit' given its role), and the trailer. It occurs when the HGV folds in on itself at the point of separation – the trailer swivels round on its joint, forming a 90-degree angle or even a V shape. It resembles the outline of a pocketknife folding in on itself, hence the name.
There are many different potential causes of jack-knifing. Just a few include:
The force of a prior collision
This last cause is one of the most common factors. The excess speed of the cab coupled with the heavy weight of the trailer, results in a forward momentum that continues pushing the trailer forward, even when the cab has stopped. Not only does this endanger the HGV driver, but as the trailer swings outward it also puts nearby cars in danger, forming a mobile wall that can all too easily cause massive destruction.
There are a few ways that HGV drivers can mitigate the risk of jack-knifing. Some are preventative; it's wise for drivers to check their mirrors frequently for trailer swing, even if they don't think it's likely to occur. It's a strongly recommended course of action after every instance of hard braking; braking properly is a major factor in preventing jack-knifing. Driving safely and sensibly, keeping at a good distance from the vehicle in front, will give drivers a good chance to anticipate trailer swing, and prevent jack-knifing from occurring. If the driver does sense that the trailer has started to jack-knife, one of the ways to deal with it is to increase speed to allow the trailer to fall back in line behind them.
One of the many benefits to the technology behind Vision Techniques' StopSafe is that it applies the brakes firmly but gradually, so that there is very little chance of a trailer lock when bringing the vehicle to a halt. Ideally, a driver who is fully conscious and alert shouldn't need to engage the StopSafe system, but in the event that the driver is incapacitated, another passenger or member of the cab crew can use StopSafe while completely safe in the knowledge that it will bring the vehicle to a complete halt without causing further destruction.
StopSafe is one of Vision Techniques' most acclaimed products, and perfectly embodies our commitment to saving lives on the road. It can be combined with our other universally recommended braking technology, BrakeSafe, to minimise another common accident (rollaways), and maximise drivers' control over their vehicles both stationary and in motion.

HealthWiki > New Where There Is No Doctor > Sexually Transmitted Infections
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections that pass from one person to another during sex.
Most types of sex can spread a STI. It can be penis to vagina sex, penis to anus sex, or oral sex (mouth to penis, mouth to vagina). Sometimes STIs can pass from just rubbing an infected penis or vagina against another person's genitals.
Signs caused by STIs include pain during sex, unusual discharge from the vagina, penis, or anus, or bumps, sores, or blisters on the genitals.
It is very common to have a STI and have no signs at all. Even if there are no signs, the STIs can pass from one person to another. Getting tested is the best way to find out if you have a STI and find the right treatment to cure it. In places where testing is not available, it is still important to treat infections right away. Help any person you have had sex with to also get tested and treated. If both of you do not get treated, you will get infected again and infect other people.
Most STIs are cured after treatment with antibiotics. Other STIs do not go away but can be managed with medicine. There are also treatments to reduce pain and help with discomfort while the medicine takes effect (see How To Feel Better While You Heal From a STI).
Not having sex or being certain your sex partner does not have a STI are the best ways to prevent STIs. Because this is not always possible, prevent infections from sex by using condoms every time as another way to make getting a STI less likely. Health workers can play an important role by treating people with STIs with respect and dignity.
Why STIs are a serious problem
Because sex is normal and common, STIs are also common. When STIs are not treated, they can harm women, men, and children. STIs can cause:
- infertility in both women and men.
- babies born too early, too small, blind, sick, or dead.
- death from severe infection.
- lasting pain.
- cancer of the cervix or throat or anus.
- increased risk of getting other STIs, including HIV.
How STIs pass to partners through sex
Both men and women can get STIs. But the person on the receiving end of intercourse, getting penetrated in the vagina or anus, is more at risk. Without a condom, semen which may carry infection stays inside the vagina, anus, or mouth. The action of penetration can rub and open the skin inside the vagina or anus, increasing the possibility that an infection enters the body. This happens even if the person doesn't notice there are sores inside the vagina or anus. Sores or irritation on the outside part of the genitals can also pass STIs, including HIV, more easily.
What to do if you might have a STI
- Get tested if testing is available
- Get treated for the infection right away, do not wait to become more ill.
- Help your partner get treated at the same time. That way you will not get the infection again if you have sex together.

What the shaman is up with these people?
A recent article in the Times on ayahuasca highlighted a growing phenomenon on the use of this drug and a rue seed alternative sweeping the high-end community.
In a world increasingly dominated by screen time, not dream time, its not surprising that many people, having binged on yoga, are turning to a more dramatic catalyst for inner growth.
It's said to be a spirit-enhancing, mind-altering, insightful experience leading to profound revelations and improved relationships.
It first came to our attention when a wealth advisor commented to us about a client who makes frequent trips to the rain forests and Peru. How often can someone visit Machu Picchu and travel the Amazon? And why is she so thin? Now it's being alluded to at family meetings during sharing time as life-changing, with details provided in private conversations for the curious.
Talk of "journeying" and "shamans" – with offers to join in – are also pervading summer downtime at second homes and on the beach.
"Just try it once; it won't hurt, we've done it many times; wait until you meet our shaman!"
Among upscalers, it's hard to resist invitations from higher-caste friends to join in, given the dullness and intensity of corporate life and the opportunity to bond with the wealthy.
Lines in the sand
Right now lines in the sand are being drawn between family members who use or want to use the drugs and those appalled at the naiveté and self-serving justifications of the proponents. The former group usually has several heavily-invested participants who have journeyed multiple times, swear to its therapeutic benefits, and swear it is safe and non-addictive. In fact, advocates assert ayahuasca cures addiction (attested to by Lindsay Lohan, no less), as does the rue herb.
Dissenters are depicted as closed-minded and rigid for suggesting that users are simply drug-seeking under the guise of a spiritual or therapeutic experience. Those in recovery are dismissed as overbearing scolds and misguided for questioning the legitimacy of the claims and objecting to participation by next-generation family members. And it's becoming increasingly difficult to counteract the momentum of the one-two punch sales pitch of the devotees and purveyors of these drugs.
What is really going on? What is the attraction?
Using drugs to gain insight into personal or relationship concerns and enhance spirituality has a great deal of appeal, particularly after years of failed therapy. Many inheritors have been on a life-long search for ways to overcome chronic dysthymia, attachment disorders and anxieties stemming from poor parenting and an inability to connect with others. With a full understanding of the risks, experimenting may lead to insight for some people. However, after doing so once or twice continued use can easily transition into drug seeking – using for the sake of using. As psychologist Terry Hunt says, "Once you get the message, hang up the phone!"
But that's not happening.
All the perks without the stigma
Now at later stages in life, a "spiritual person" comes along offering a supposedly safe, therapeutic herb that provides a heavy-duty escape from reality – the first time they feel like real people. It's an experience they want to repeat over and over again, and share with others. For many who experimented with hard drugs (or wanted to) in their younger days but are stuck settling for a few cocktails, glasses of wine or Xanax, journeying is the high they are seeking without the stigma of LSD, PCP, or MDMA. They consider themselves on a spiritual journey, the perfect antidote to the ennui of the affluent lifestyle. And what's the going price? As much as $2,500 per day for a house call – drugs (whoops, herbs) included.
'Have I told you lately that you're crazy?'
Inspired by an article in a NYT Sunday Review with the same heading: "Have I told you lately that you're crazy?", it's time to present an alternative view, examining the very real risks and potential damage from using these drugs.
"It's safe!" (Not!)
Ayahuasca is said to be a psychedelic affecting dopamine receptors in particular and can penetrate deep within the brain. It causes many users to vomit, which is why a rue seed herb is offered as an alternative, particularly to newcomers. The latter is a stimulant, acting on the limbic system (the reactive, fight-or-flight, primitive area of the brain) and depressing the executive control area of the brain. It also causes altered visual perception and gait. Alcohol is given to help bring users down off the high. Both last for six hours or more and require oversight by a "minder" – often the shaman – to make sure the user does not wander off or trip out.
We are talking about heavy-duty drugs. Like LSD, ayahuasca has the potential to create flashbacks. The larger problem is that stimulating the limbic system while deregulating the executive frontal lobe can lead to impulsive decisions and destructive communications. There are also reports of disorganized thought process from multiuse. But hey, what's more important than expressing feelings and acting on gut instinct? For vulnerable people, taking these drugs even one or two times can lead to a marked personality change (e.g., blowing up a Type-A personality).
Take them 10, 20, 50 times and it's a recipe for permanent brain alteration, even for the most resilient.
"It's a tea or herb concoction."
These drugs are described in medicinal or culinary terms – tea and herbs – to overcome the stigma associated with hard drugs. However, when any mind-altering drugs are ingested, the body converts them into molecules that pass through the brain barrier and react with brain cells.
- The brain does not distinguish between ayahuasca or rue seed and meth, cocaine, PCP or LSD – the reaction is similar. Nor does it care whether you got them from a dealer, an ostensible healer, or the Pope.
Both drugs have major impacts on the body and mind – that's why the shaman babysits users.
No, ayahuasca and rue seed are potent drugs, regardless of how they are described.
"It's a permitted spiritual practice, exempt from drug laws."
That's the line for first-time initiates who may be concerned about getting into trouble with the law. Passing use off as spiritual – and therefore legal – is bogus unless the participant is a member of a recognized religious group authorized to use ayahuasca in ceremony. Promoters tend to skip over the fact ayahuasca is a controlled substances and is therefore an illicit drug. (One reason why users go to South America.) The rue seed alternative in its various forms, flies under the DEA radar for now, although a very potent drug.
"It's non-addictive."
The real measure of addiction is whether drugs impact brain cells in the pleasure center (dopamine, serotonin receptors) limbic system and frontal lobe. As discussed earlier, since the reactions when taken are similar to other drugs that alter the brain, the conclusion is that ayahuasca and rue seed do indeed modify cell structure, unless proven otherwise. Take them enough times and there will be significant and permanent alterations. By the way, anticipating the next journey, common among many repeat users, is indicative of addiction.
It acts like other mood-altering addictive drugs, so why take the risk?
"It's therapy."
Prospective participants are told shamans are therapists. Some even come with university degrees (but no credible credentials or license certifications). It's a two-for-one deal. But wait! What kind of therapist prescribes the same treatment to every patient after a five-minute conversation and then drops fame-names of clients as a selling point.
That's not a healer, that's more like a sales pitch.
Don't ask, don't tell approach to medical issues
A lot of these insight-seekers are not young people. (Many would be eligible for social security if they had ever worked.) Some have heart problems (e.g., a-fib, weak valves, high blood pressure, etc.). But why take a medical history, that's so allopathic! Just crank that old beater up to 120-130 BPM for a few hours. And then "journeyers" wonder why their meds don't work or they are at the Mayo clinic for major surgery. (Note to advocates: This is another criterion for addiction – taking a drug that you know could give you a coronary or a-fib problems and doing so anyway.)
Inexcusable in so many ways.
"It cures addiction."
The first question to ask anyone touting this cure is "Show me your supervised drug screens!" because addicts are notorious liars. Both ayahuasca and rue seed act on the very areas of the brain affected by use of alcohol and other drugs. Actually, rue seed triggers intense cravings for anyone in remission from a substance use disorder. So no, it does not cure addiction and is just another form of addicts tripping out on a mind-altering substance.
This is the most bogus of all claims: giving someone addicted to controlled substances another psychoactive substance to cure addiction.
"It cures depression."
How about encouraging participants to stop taking their antidepressants because their un-medicated self is just fine? Then they wonder why family members stop visiting and friends are so busy. You can be sure participants did not discuss this "cure" with their psychiatrists or other prescribers.
No, you are not fine!
Multigenerational use
Apparently, parents are advocating multigenerational use to become closer to their children. Whoa. What a way to avoid the hard conversations about the multiple marriages and being too self-absorbed for effective parenting. Get high together and all is forgiven.
- And who doesn't want to take parent-approved heavy drugs? Come on down!
Talk about playing with fire! Many adult children are in families with histories of alcoholism and drug dependence. Prolonged and intense use of any drug can trigger the addictive gene, despite apparent parental immunity.
Does it get much crazier?
Alternatives to seeking meaning and improved relationships through drug use
Participants are reported to say things like "I was never able to talk to my sister about our differences until we went on a journey together for six hours." Well, did you ever try? Spend six hours with any competent therapist (yes, they do exist) and you will likely explore in depth any ill feelings between relatives or friends – and actually remember the conversation and what happened during the session. Moreover, drug-induced insight does not necessarily lead to behavioral change (e.g., more time with and an improved relationship with the sister).
Do no harm
It seems every few years, a new mind-altering phenomena spreads like wildfire through trust-funders and the newly-minted affluent. Remember Swami Rama, the Rajneeshee, Ram Dass, cults, EST? The list goes on and on. These guides to enlightenment are completely unregulated and hold no licenses yet are purporting to fix major trauma and behavioral health issues. The first rule of any healer is to do no harm. From observation and reports, the harm done to some participants far outweighs any asserted benefits: destroyed relationships, distorted thinking, drug cravings, and untreated depression. Keep at it and we are likely to see drug-induced psychosis.
Unfortunately, the wealth and prestige of many of these journeyers keeps them insulated from contrary opinions and negative feedback on personality changes or distorted thinking. Like any good addict with unlimited resources, they have little incentive to stop. Contradictory information isn't going to change their minds, but it should give pause to anyone thinking about joining the club. Perhaps by alerting family offices and advisors to this very underground and growing phenomenon, proselytizing can be minimized and support provided for the contrarians who are telling their friends and relatives, "YOU'RE CRAZY!"

I am noticing that my comprehension or quick knowledge of what I am looking at is out the window. That is frightening, it reminds me..........
For instance our power was cut for an hour or so and I was over anxious to get it going so I could do some work.
No lights went on (because we were asleep when the power went off) but the timer on the stove was lit. Son showed it to me without saying a thing and I wondered why
he kept showing me the timer telling me it was 7:13. What did it mean?
He was no help until exhausted he said: "Mom electricity!!!"
I felt so stupid and realized that often on regular daily stuff my comprehension is slowed down.
OK so I make up another thing to worry about.

Benefits of Taking CBD Oil for Pain Relief
Increasingly, cannabidiol (CBD) has been shown to help with a whole host of different maladies and symptoms. One of the most popular uses of CBD, however, must be that of pain relief and management.
The reality is that everyone gets affected by pain at some point in their lives. And, for women suffering from premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or menopause, pain is something that they not only have to face regularly, but if left unmanaged, can become increasingly debilitating.
Although painkillers provide relief in the short-term, in the long run, for many women this is not a viable option. The side effects associated with the continuous use of over-the-counter (OCT) medications such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) — ibuprofen (Advil), and naproxen (Aleve and Midol Extended Relief) — and acetaminophen (Tylenol, Pamprin and Midol) can become problematic, sometimes leading to other, more severe illnesses such as acute kidney injury, liver damage and stomach ulcers.
In some instance, the use of stronger, prescription medications can even lead to depression or addiction. Even worse for women already suffering from hormone imbalances, some medication can cause further hormone imbalances and disruption, exasperating the symptoms associated with PMS even more.
Luckily, research is showing that CBD is an effective and completely safe alternative for the management of pain, and more and more women are embracing it as a safe, natural alternative to OCT drugs and/or prescription medications.
CBD Oil for Pain Relief
CBD works in three different ways. Firstly, it helps the endocannabinoid system (ECS) restore balance (or homeostasis) in the body (read more here). Secondly it acts as an analgesic. And lastly, it reduces pain by reducing inflammation – something that is especially helpful for women suffering from the inflammatory aches and pains associated with reduced oestrogen levels during menopause.
A 2014 review of several studies on cannabinoids for the management of pain found that the sum of the data strongly suggest that cannabinoids such as CBD play a pivotal role in the homeostatic modulation of the sensory nervous system's response to certain harmful or potentially harmful stimuli.
The data also showed that, because the ECS mediates and moderates the release and effects of neurotransmitters and neural signals, exogenous cannabinoids such as CBD essentially block the release of neurotransmitters that signal pain, showing great promise as an important therapeutic alternative agent to traditional pharmaceutical analgesics in various pain states.
Another study supported their review findings, showing that CBD not only blocks pain signals, but actually reduces the ongoing activity of the "ON" and "OFF" neurons, in effect acting as an analgesic. Basically, how it works is that CBD stimulates the descending pathways, blocking the detection of a painful stimulus by the sensory neurons, causing analgesia by interacting with the target proteins that control pain detection.
Moreover, in their 2015 study, neuroscientists concluded that cannabinoids such as CBD are ideal therapeutic agents in the treatment of pain as they reduce inflammation WITHOUT the side effects, increased tolerance, and dangers of addiction so often associated with some pharmaceutical pain medications.
Recommended Regimen
Starting a CBD regimen for pain – especially for things like dysmenorrhea and other aches and pains associated with women's health issues – can sometimes feel a bit daunting. Just as with a lot of natural and plant-based therapies, there is no one-size-fits-all recipe that will work for everyone. It is also important to understand that because CBD does not work only on the pain itself, but also works to restore the body to its natural state of health and wellbeing, CBD should be used regularly in order to experience maximum relief.
For daily maintenances, we suggest starting with 25 mg of Geovana CBD oil per day (1/2 dropper). If you don't feel relief at that dosage, we suggest increasing it by another 5-10 mg of CBD per day until the desired effects are achieved.
For managing the acute pain, for example periods pains or menopause-related arthritis, we suggest starting on a higher dosage of 25 mg of CBD per day (to find out more about dosing, you can read this article). Here however, it is important to remember that there can be a delayed onset time of up to 90 minutes for the full effects of tinctures or capsules to be felt. Therefore, it is important to wait a while before taking another dose, or upping the amount you are taking.
Other Uses of CBD for PMS & Menopause Symptoms
- Acne: CBD is a great way to treat acne associated with PMS due to its anti-inflammatory properties and its inhibitory effect on sebum production
- Anxiety & Depression: CBD has been found to be an effective treatment for a range of different anxiety disorders and depression due to its anxiolytic effects, reducing amygdala activation and its balancing effect on serotonin levels
- Insomnia: Although CBD increases alertness in smaller dosages, in larger doses, CBD seems to have a balancing effect, helping to facilitate a good night's sleep
- Hot Flashes: CBD boosts serotonin levels in the brain, helping to lower body temperature and reduce hot flashes
- Mood Swings: CBD has been shown to be helpful for mood stability
- Osteoporosis: Several studies have shown that CBD helps with bone formation and regeneration, increasing bone density and helping to mitigate the effects of osteoporosis
CBD, and especially broad-spectrum hemp derived CBD oil as found in the Geovana CBD products can be an extremely effective and gentle way to treat pain. And, because Geovana's CBD products are specifically formulated for women, it is safe for daily use to help manage the aches and pain associated with PMS and menopause, and other women's health issues, without the dangers that come with OCT drugs or prescribed pharmaceutical medications.

Guys, please read this. The first entry I got didn't have one of the 20 teams spelled as in the list of games. This is so easy to do this right. I went ahead and manually made the entries, but please take a second to do it right.
Ok, I wanted to get this up early this week so that everyone would have plenty of time to enter the contest. I think we are pretty close to having this down so that people understand how to write your entry. To make sure here are the way you need to submit your entries. Remember we are using a spreadsheet so we don't have the team names automated. Because of that when I copy and paste your entries in the spreadsheet the spelling has to exactly match the way I spell each team. I have tried to make this simple. There are no CAPITAL letters in the names ... the teams are all lower case.
Please put your username at the top of the list of your team selections.
Do your best to make sure you spell the team names as I have them spelled in the list of games. If the spelling isn't exactly like they are in the list of games the spreadsheet will score them as zero [0].
Don't add any other information other than your username and your team picks.
Do not double space your list of teams ... single spacing only.
Send them to me at the email@example.com email address.
Before you send the email please check to make sure you have picks for each of the 20 games and that the list of your picks is in the right order.
October 27 list of pick'em contest games.
Note: the team names are all in lower case ... no "CAPS" ... so type them in lower case just as I spelled them below.

Any chance that we can get this week's pick-em up on the old board (that's now working again)?
Or do we need to email our picks for one more week?
Yes, we'll get it up over there!
Ran into a glitch. The program is not letting me input any games at the moment. Not sure if it's an easy fix or not. Stay tuned.

Rash of across-the-board cuts at ESPN stun sports media world
An ever-mounting group of ESPN employees were let go throughout the day on Wednesday as the media giant makes adjustments after declining revenues in the face of increasing rights fees and a declining base of subscribers.
ESPN was expected to lay off about 100 employees by the end of the day.
Longtime NFL reporter Ed Werder, who specialized in covering the Dallas Cowboys during his 17 years with the network, was among the first to announce he had been let go early Wednesday.
Others notable reporters on the list include baseball analyst Jason Stark, talk show host/college football analyst Danny Kanell, NFL analyst Trent Dilfer and longtime ESPN host Jay Crawford.
Recommended Video:
Among the reporters known regionally to local observers fans were Austin-based Big 12 reporter Max Olson, ESPN Dallas columnist Jean-Jacques Taylor and two NBA reporters who covered teams in the Southwest Division -- Houston beat writer Calvin Watkins and New Orleans beat writer Justin Verrier.
It appears that ESPN Spurs beat writer Michael C. Wright will not be affected by the cuts.
ESPN president John Skipper said the cuts were necessary to enable ESPN to remain competitive in financial terms.
"A necessary component of managing change involves constantly evaluating how we best utilize all of our resources, and that sometimes involves difficult decisions," Skipper wrote in a letter to all ESPN employees. "Our content strategy — primarily illustrated in recent months by melding distinct, personality-driven SportsCenter TV editions and digital-only efforts with our biggest sub-brand — still needs to go further, faster ... and as always, must be efficient and nimble.
"Dynamic change demands an increased focus on versatility and value, and as a result, we have been engaged in the challenging process of determining the talent — anchors, analysts, reporters, writers and those who handle play-by-play — necessary to meet those demands. We will implement changes in our talent lineup this week. A limited number of other positions will also be affected and a handful of new jobs will be posted to fill various needs."
The job cuts were an ESPN decision as it refits for its future. It apparently was not a mandate from its parent company Disney.
The Hollywood Reporter indicated that talk show host Ryen Russillo, "Baseball Tonight" host Karl Ravech and network veteran Hannah Storm will see their roles at the network "significantly reduced." Several reports have indicated that several ESPN personalities approached the network about taking voluntary pay cuts or redoing their contracts in order to save their jobs.
ESPN anchor Bob Ley, the most tenured employee at the network with a history of more than 37 years at ESPN, made a comment about the job cuts at the end of the network's "Outside the Lines" broadcast on Wednesday afternoon.

The Feast of the Assumption of Mary into Heaven!
From the Sermons of St John of Damascus.
2nd on the Falling-on-sleep of Blessed Mary.
This day the holy and animated Ark of the living God, which had held within it its own Maker, is borne to rest in that Temple of the Lord, which is not made with hands. David, whence it sprang, leapeth before it, and in company with him the Angels dance, the Archangels sing aloud, the Virtues ascribe glory, the Princedoms shout for joy, the Powers make merry, the Lordships rejoice, the Thrones keep holiday, the Cherubim utter praise, and the Seraphim proclaim its glory. This day the Eden of the new Adam receiveth the living garden of delight, wherein the condemnation was annulled, wherein the Tree of Life was planted, wherein our nakedness was covered.
This day the stainless maiden, who had been defiled by no earthly lust, but ermobled by heavenly desires, returned not to dust, but, being herself a living heaven, took her place among the heavenly mansions. From her true life had flowed for all men, and how should she taste of death? But she yielded obedience to the law established by Him to Whom she had given birth, and, as the daughter of the old Adam, underwent the old sentence, which even her Son, Who is the very Life Itself, had not refused; but, as the Mother of the living God, she was worthily taken by Him unto Himself.
|In the Eastern Church,
The Dormition of Mary

The Common Application Prompts for 2019-2020 appear under the theme "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Yes, that's right, the Common App folks are not changing their prompts this year. That does not mean, however, that it is a good idea to copy ideas verbatim from your elder sibling/friend's Common Application essay from last year or the year before, or the year before that. Turnitin.com started turning its attention to college application essays way back in 2011, and by 2012, there was reporting on this anti-plagiarism wrinkle. This year many colleges will screen application essays. If I were you, I would assume that all of them will do this, to be on the safe side. It's always better to keep it clean anyhow, People. For you and for the process.
So lesson one is pretty simple: my experience has been that the best essays develop when the kid applying to college to hammers away and completes first drafts without a lot of coaching in that early stage. Some guidance is fine, getting some pointers or some help with focus, great, but you, the applicant, have to find some inspiration in what matters to you to make a piece of writing work.
This advice may not seem helpful right now, so let me be more specific: take a look at the Common Application Essay Prompts for 2019-2020, below, and put each at the top of a page; then start writing: try to think of concrete examples of things you have done or experiences you have had that seem to fit each prompt, and list them, then describe them in blurb form, under the prompt. When you run out of things to say, set the page off to the side and move on to the next one. Eventually you will find that one of the Common App prompts allows you to write more. It just comes more easily. And if it feels lively, that is probably the one for you. Go ahead and write an essay draft.
After the fact, you can assess what that essay shows about you, and determine whether it should be your Common App main or not. If not, it may well work as a supplement–and at least you broke through the logjam and got started.
Or just choose the "pick your own topic" option and stare at the ceiling or up at the passing clouds until something happens.
Lesson two, go ahead and start your Common Application Essay, but do not create an account or upload information on the Common Application itself. (Yet. I am updating in late July)
All accounts and information currently on the Common Application site are linked to last year's applications. In the last days of July the Common Application will go offline and then will reappear in its 2019-2020 version on or around August 1st. At that point you can go online to select colleges and begin uploading essays and answering questions.
Between now and August 1, what you can also do, of course is . . . start those essays.
As work with your early responses to develop a complete draft (or two), you should notice that these are not really speculative essays. They are mostly not looking for what you might do in the future, though it would help to bring that up at some point for most of these; but to begin with, they are looking for what you have done. Prompts 2, 3, 4 and 5 are at the heart of the list and pretty much define the ethos of these Common App prompts overall, which is based on things in your (hopefully recent) past that you have done or experienced that define you. Of course it is all the better if that time you challenged a belief (prompt 3) or overcame an obstacle (prompt 2) or that accomplishment or realization that sparked a period of growth (prompt 5) are also shown as influencing your future–say in that conclusion to yor essay where you talk about how you plan to continue working on the problem you solved or addressed locally via studying x in college to prepare to deal with that problem on a broader scale, or acting from that new understanding and period of growth by doing y (define factor y) . . . in and after college. . . . and so on.
A couple of other recommendations–Don't write an argument or speech-style essay structure defined by the firstly, secondly, and thirdly of subtopics which you then develop (robotically) in the essay body as first, secondly thirdly . . . also avoid simply restating your intro in your conclusion. And if you must use that essay structure that starts with a you-are-there- narrative, then explains how you got there, then explains the life's lesson learned . . . make sure you use good vivid detail, but don't overdo the drama in the hook and opener.
For example: If I never see an essay that starts with a writer pinned down by enemy gunfire and running out of water and ammunition . . . only to find out this is a video game and the author got there by playing but plans to be a programmer . . . and video game designer. . . Or if I never have an author dangling by her fingertips from a hold thirty feet up a sheer rock face, and one foot pops off a hold . . . only to find that she is top-roped in a climbing gym . . . And that climbing taught her discipline and determination . . . . I will be happy. Happy never to see one of these attempts to pump up the drama again.
Consider just starting with a good hook and an expository opener, without the overdramatized narrative , just so see what happens. And if the whole thing seems too daunting, contact me for editing help.
2019-2020 Common Application Essay Prompts
1. Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
2. The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?
3. Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking? What was the outcome?
4. Describe a problem you've solved or a problem you'd like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma – anything that is of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you and what steps you took or could be taken to identify a solution.
5. Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others.
6. Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging that it makes you lose all track of time. Why does it captivate you? What or who do you turn to when you want to learn more?
7. Share an essay on any topic of your choice. It can be one you've already written, one that responds to a different prompt, or one of your own design.
Here are some results from last year's application process–
During the 2018-2019 application year, the most popular topic of choice was: "Share an essay on any topic of your choice. It can be one you've already written, one that responds to a different prompt, or one of your own design." (24.1%).
The next most popular topics were: "Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others." (23.7%),
followed by "The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?" (21.1%).
Final notes–whether you apply to the Ivy League or hundreds of western, land-grant colleges, or hundreds more small, liberal-arts colleges, your Common Application essay is the lead essay for your application. Start early and be willing to try multiple essays and approaches.
And one more thing: in the aftermath of the Singer college-admissions bribery scandal, it seems like a good time to establish the basic ethical boundaries of college applications. Researching, seeking advice, getting detailed editing commentary are all considered legit, so long as the essays are in the deepest sense, yours. What that means is admittedly a gray area, but when it comes to cheating, examples are the best way to learn. Copying, for one: no, please. Asking somebody else to write your essays: also a big no-no.

Google's latest mobile marketing direct mail brochure (of which we receive many) promotes their Adwords product for Search Engine Marketing (SEM) – commonly called pay-per-click advertising for search engines – on smartphones. And we see opportunity here for our Austin online marketing clients.
Google is right to promote mobile SEM! According to Google, mobile searches have grown 400% since 2010 – a fact we have already noted: Use of Mobile Devices For Search is Surging.
Here at MARION, we have seen the effect of mobile search. As part of our Internet marketing services for customers, we track how people access our customers' websites. The fact is that we have seen an astonishing increase in the use of smartphones for web searches. For local business sites, the proportion of people using smartphones to find local services can reach as high a 20%.
In the direct mailer, Google mentions 3 easy ways to attract mobile customers to pay-per-click ads:
"With just a few easy steps, you can bring more people to your business.
Get more clicks. People search on phones differently than they might on a computer. Adding text for people on the go, like "Visit our store today" or "Call Now", can make a difference. A mobile campaign can boost the number of people clicking on your ads by as much as 11.5%.
Get more visitors. When people are on the go, they're often looking for businesses that are close by. Make it easy for customers to find you by giving them directions to your business.
Get more calls. Another great way to attract customers is to include a clickable phone number in your ad. You can also add mobile extensions so people can call you with one simple touch of the screen."
On mobile search results, Google typically displays 2 ads at the top and 3 at the bottom of each page. This compares to PC (non-mobile) searches with 3 at the top and many on the right side of the page and perhaps a couple on the bottom too. Google keeps changing the PC format, but we can safely assume that there will always be many more ads displayed on PCs than on mobile devices – where there is simply not the space. This means less competition to get noticed for mobile advertisers!
Most importantly (which Google does NOT mention in their direct mailer) is that Google per-click-rates on mobile are actually less than that of non-mobile searches – at the moment!
Google also recommends that your site be mobile friendly.
"Now that you know how to attract customers on the go, it's important to welcome them with a mobile friendly website. On the smaller screen, your customers expect a site they can easily navigate with their clients with their thumbs to fine what they need quickly."
The takeaways for a mobile marketing opportunity are:
- Determine the proportion of visitors to your site who are using smartphones to access your site. If more that 5%, consider Adwords as part of your digital marketing mix while the per-click-rates are low and competition is relatively low
- Make sure you site has a mobile friendly design so that when visitors do visit your site they can view it on smartphones easily and get the information they want fast.

The Houston Astros just killed Sports Illustrated's cover jinx for good
It was a longshot so long that even Las Vegas wouldn't have put odds on it.
The Houston Astros – fresh off three straight season of 105 losses – were three seasons away from winning baseball'sultimate prize, a World Series.
Now, the prophetic June 30, 2014 issue of Sports Illustrated may have finally put to bed one of sports' oldest superstitions, the SI cover jinx.
BUY A SIGNED COVER: George Springer autographed copy of 2014 Sports Illustrated cover
The curse dates all the way back to Sports Illustrated's first issue, Aug. 16, 1954. The cover featured Eddie Mathews of the Milwaukee Braves. Shortly after the cover came out, the Braves had a nine-game winning streak broken ... along with Mathews' hand (he missed a week's worth of games with the injury).
Since then, the jinx has struck the likes of Super Bowl losers, Olympic non-medalists and knocked out boxers for the past seven decades.
No more.
Not only did the Astros win the World Series as predicted, but the issue's cover boy – George Springer – ended up crushing five home runs and winning the Series MVP. (The day the cover was released, Springer struck out three times as the Astros were shut out at home to the Braves.)
Of course, if you're a Dodgers fan the jinx might not seem so dead.
On Aug. 22, the Dodgers were featured on a cover themselves.
"Best. Team. Ever?"

with the earth
that we weave our art
and heal from the hurt
Sensitive Earth stems resiliently from the grief endured in this age of the Anthropocene, where the human being has been disconnected from that which offers us life. Our mission is to reconnect human beings with the healing power that the living and feeling Earth offers us. We do this through the mediums of song, plants, stones, & universal life-force energy.
Sensitive Earth Apothecary
which you can peruse in the Shop, offers plant and stone remedies that have been made with reverence for the Earth. We grow and steward plant and fungus communities in the garden and in the wild, and from here we source most of the elements that go into our products. Even the Herkimer Diamonds that grace many of our offerings have been hand-mined by Jordann- the healing artist behind Sensitive Earth.
About Jordann
Although she was born as the seventh-generation of a farming family, Jordann grew up with playgrounds of ash-mountains. These were the remnants of the common-place coke & coal mines of Southwestern Pennsylvania, which continue to be created to this day.
In the wake of unspoken trauma, Jordann's family was the first to not live with the land after moving to America. This, however, did not prevent Jordann from seeking refuge in wild places-- abandoned and unkempt from mining, yet resiliently scattered with trees and fields. Since this young age, Jordann felt a deep connection to plants and the Earth, recognizing their capacity to heal her inner wounds. Yet with this connection came grief, as she realized that others in her community sought monetary gain from fracking and mining practices-- viewed as essential for the economy and the working man-- and thus refused to acknowledge the Earth as a sensitive being. Explain- what good is the health of the economy if we sacrifice the health of the land and water from which we truly heal and live?
Jordann's identical twin sister continues to live at home in Pennsylvania as an environmental activist and organizer, fighting the injustices continuing to be levied against the health of the land and its people. This is work that Jordann is deeply grateful for, though her own path has led her to earth-based healing arts as a form of activism. She is deeply passionate about the land-based traditions passed down by our ancestors, continually learning about the healing power of plants and stones from course-work and direct experience in forest and garden. As she continues to gain knowledge, she loves to pass the information on to all who are ready to learn. This time spent with the Earth directly inspires her poetry and songwriting, and in her art, she lends a voice to plant and land and water and Spirit-- so their stories may be heard.
she is sensitive
the earth
she longs to be heard
it's where our healing begins
let's take a breath and listen
Credentials: After intuiting her innate healing abilities, Jordann became a certified Reiki Master and Crystal Healer in 2015. She studied intensively in India with Usha Dobhal (ranked World's Best Reiki Master in 2016).
Jordann has been immersed in the formal studies of Plant Medicine and Botany since 2013, studying at Vassar College, Sacred Warrior, the Appalachia School of Holistic Herbalism, the Clearpath School of Herbal Medicine, and the Evolutionary School of Herbalism.
In 2019, she became certified in the Jade Purity Lineage of Stone Medicine through the Upper Clarity School of Stone Medicine. She also has bachelor degrees in Religious Studies and Cognitive Science with a focus on Mindfulness Meditation from Vassar College, which further rounds out her knowledge as a healing artist.

I was not going to post this, but then I thought it might be of interest to someone wanting to make an easy mold. I have not been making many wood things lately and this was wood so it qualifies. It is a walnut mold with 2 aluminum core pins for counterweights for my new solar panel system. I made it to mold lead counterweights for the top horizontal bar so that the frame is balanced for turning with ease at different angles. Doug Scott was over last night and we thought it might just burn up when I poured the molten lead into it but it just blackened and made perfect weights with screw holes down the center. These will fit into the 13/16" high Unistrut channel that I used for the frame.
I did not take any before use pictures so I pulled it apart afterwards to show how it was built. I cut out the inside on the table saw tilted at 2 degrees and then the ends were cut at 5 degrees and the pins turned at 2 degrees. This gave enough draft angle for the pieces to fall out of the mold when cooled. I broke two of them when I took them out too soon,but they easily melted down for the next shot.
Doug, thanks for the bucket of wheel weights you brought over today for future molding!!!!!!!
The 4th shot is a piece of Unistrut and they fit great. The last shot is the assembly and the weights will go across that top horizontal frame member. They weighed in at 2# 6 oz each.
Cheers, Jim

I've poured lead (wheel weights from tire shop) for weights on my sailboat center board.
I found that if you get the lead just hot enough to pour and not TOO hot, there will be minimal scorching. You might already know this.

Nice to see you putting a lot of effort to get that panel moving easily. I'm surprised. I would not of thought that the wood would burn that much. As long as it works. What are the panels going to be used for?

That scorching is normal & expected. Just ask an ol' timer who is about 80 yrs old. My grandfather used to melt a lot of lead and all his molds were made from wood.

Thank you all for the nice comments. It looks like it was worth posting. I'm glad to see that others have used wood for molds, too. I have a big bucket of wheel weights and I'm going to make a wood mold to mold them into ingots for future projects.
I see there is a lot of interest in the solar project. I was not going to post anything on it because there is so little wood in it ( just some treated wood in the rectangular aluminum tubing to keep it from compressing).
Hi Joe, I have $4k in the system. I bought 6 Suniva 325W panels and 6 Enphase IQ6+ microinverters and made all the rest.. Those are the largest panels out (77 1/2" x 39") and the newest microinverters. They are 72 cell panels and they are mono crystalline ( high efficiency) panels. It is a grid tied system- it is wired right into the breaker box in the barn with a 20A 220 V breaker. Therefore it has no batteries, no charge controller and no expensive DC disconnect switch. I only wanted a system to keep us from every going over the threshold of 600 KWH where the electric rate increases. I did not plan to power the whole house. It has produced 7-12 KWH per day so far. Our usage is from 7-43 KWH per day for the year, so some months I'll not be able to produce enough to stay under the 600 that month. I figure a 9.3 yr paybackl
The beauty of the microinverters is that it inverts the DC to AC right at the panel. And it will not put out anything until is sees 60 cycle on the line. So if we have a power outage, it will not electrify the lines that a lineman might be working on. If I pull the main and start the generator, the panels will turn on as normal.
Cheers, Jim

Thanks, John. I have steel molds that I use to make weights for my scale, too. That old lead melting pot and ladle is one that my dad used to pour lead to seal cast iron soil pipes back when I was a kid.

Cool Idea!
Years ago I had a Scuba business. A friend got me a bunch of lead ingots used to transport radioactive isotopes. I melted them down to make diving weights. I wonder if they glowed in the dark!!

Jim, thats a cool looking solution for your counterweight dilemma. the System you have sure looks productive too… now you are ready to survive the zombie apocalypse (a la the Walking Dead). I sure would like to put one on my place, but I live in Pittsburgh where the skies are mainly gray and we are lucky to get an hour of sunlight per day.

Heyde and Company were manufacturers of accessories for toy trains, particularly figures and luggage, and are perhaps best known to British enthusiasts for producing a set of 'personality' figures, commissioned by Bassett-Lowke. These figures included Chamberlain, David Lloyd George, Charlie Chaplin, George Bernard Shaw, Amy Johnson and one described as a Model Manufacturer, clearly based on W J Bassett Lowke himself. There is some ambiguity regarding the Chamberlain figure, but, given that the figures were produced around 1925, Neville Chamberlain seems most likely, his famous father Joseph having died some nine years earlier.
