An Earthbag Round House For Less Than $5,000
Looking for a very stable design which does not only come cheap from the start but also makes you save money in the long run. Due to its shape and materials used, the earthbag house has less area than your normal home, so it’s cheaper to keep it supplied with energy. Don’t be scared if you never built circular structures before, because the example shown here used a technique called the compass arm which you can easily learn. Starting on the rubble trench foundation. Covering over our sediment fabric with pea gravel. Two rows of stem wall – 80 lb sack concrete. 2 strands of barbed wire go between every row. Firewood used to hold the barbed wire in place. Door frame up. A strip anchor to hold the door in place.

20 Uncommon Lessons from My Weekend with Warren Buffett (career & life advice most don’t talk about
“Take a job that you love. I think you are out of your mind if you keep taking jobs that you don’t like because you think it will look good on your resume. Isn’t that a little like saving up sex for your old age?” The Power of Continued Education On Friday night I walked into the Omaha Marriott to check in for the weekend. The first person I said hello to was Bill Gates (yes that Bill Gates). He didn’t exactly respond to me by first name, but the brief exchange (and shot of adrenaline that came with it) reminded me of the potential of the weekend ahead. When in Omaha you never know what’s going to happen. The next day I spent over eight hours with Warren Buffett. What I learned blew my mind… As it always does. I wish it were just the two of us, but there were actually about 35,000 other passionate Buffett fanatics who joined me to learn from the most wealthy investor of the modern world. Without it I never would have started my investment fund nearly 5 years ago. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
Chicken Jambalaya - Caribbean
Return to listing Jambalaya is one of the easiest and best rice dishes that owes its origins to the traditional Cajun cooking of America. Serves 2-3 This recipe is taken from The Delia Collection: Chicken. First of all, heat the frying pan over a high heat and brown the pieces of chorizo sausage, without adding any fat, then remove them from the pan to a plate and set aside. Then add a tablespoon of the oil and, when it's hot, brown the chicken and transfer that to the plate with the chorizo. Continue to fry for 4-5 minutes, till the celery and pepper are also softened and lightly tinged brown at the edges, adding a little more oil if you need to. Now stir in the rice to get a good coating of oil, then add the Tabasco to the hot chicken stock. Then, check that the rice is cooked and add a little more stock, if necessary.

Margaret Paul, Ph.D.: Self-Sabotaging in Work or Relationships? Why?
Do you sometimes find that you sabotage yourself in your work or your relationships? Have you wondered why you would do that? One of the things that may help you understand your self-sabotaging behavior is to recognize that you are actually trying to protect yourself rather than sabotage yourself. We all have a survival part that is programmed into us -- which I call our ego-wounded self. However, many of us have been programmed to go into the stress response when we fear getting emotionally hurt, as opposed to being threatened with physical harm. Why Do You Self-Sabotage? Below are some of the beliefs that might trigger your fears or your resistance to taking loving action in your own behalf: Relationships: I'm not lovable. For many people, the fear of rejection and the fear of engulfment keep them out of relationships. Work: Your fears are keeping you from taking loving action in your own behalf, but these fears are based on false beliefs, such as: How Do You Self-Sabotage?
Building a PIC18F USB device
Update I have updated this article to use the Microchip C18 compiler and to be based around my latest USB framework libraries for both the PIC and Windows (2011-10-19). This should provide a smoother path from this basic tutorial to more complex projects. As always I welcome your feedback and suggestions over in my forums. Introduction I get a number of emails every month asking about creating USB devices using the PIC18F microcontroller. In this article I will show how to breadboard a simple USB generic HID device, creating the PIC18F firmware and finally creating the Windows interface for the device which will allow you to control a LED from the PC and read the state of a push-button from the device. For this article we're going to stick to a fairly basic USB device. Although this article is based around the PIC18F4550 microcontroller you can easily substitute this for the smaller and cheaper PIC18F2550 which is code compatible with the larger 4550.
