will the new coiled fluorescent bulbs created a hum in my home recording studio?
i know the 4 ft. tube type hum
Bill R i s pretty much correct.
The reason fluorescent bulbs hum is due to the fact that in order to make a fluorescent light glow, a high voltage is required. This is created via a transformer, or ballast, that takes the 120V AC and converts it to a much higher voltage. This high voltage then activates the gas in the fluorescent tube. Since it is AC, the fluorescent tube actually turns off and on 60 times a second; but since the fluorescence is either off or on, it generates a square wave of electromagnetic waves. This square wave has harmonics that go way up in frequency, and get picked up by all sorts of audio devices.
To make matters worse, the new coiled CFL’s use solid-state circuitry that generates a higher base frequency; so there’s even more of a chance of EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference).
If all your wiring is well grounded, and the editing console is metal framed and likewise well grounded, you may be protected from this EMI; but some may leak through the power line; so you may wish to add an EMI filter to your editing console’s power plug. Check Radio Shack or a professional music supply shop for one of these EMI filters.

A cheap lava lamp will provide you with mood lighting and tons of entertainment. They are an effective, fun addition to the decor of a bedroom, living room, and also an workplace. They are a brilliant conversation piece, and too a cheap lava lamp will produce a tranquilizing, relaxing environment in every location.
Englishman Edward Craven - Walker invented the lava lamp in 1963, however the circumstances are somewhat mysterious. According to one adaptation of the story, he came upon the notion while he was working on an intricate egg timer during the early 1950s.
An additional variation maintains that his imagination was sparked by a crude liquid motion lamp he saw in a pub. Wherever the truth lies, Walker spent many years perfecting his product in addition to eventually began marketing it by means of his Crestworth Company as the Astro Light. Whilst sales dropped off in the 1980s, Walker sold the rights to Cressida Granger, whose company, Mathmos, continues to manufacture the lamps for the marketplace outside the united states.
In the U. S, 2 entrepreneurs from Chicago bought the patent rights after seeing Mr. Walker’s lamp at a trade show in Germany in 1965. Their company continues to manufacture the lamps in the United States under the identify Lava World International. Nonetheless, Mr. Walker hugely relished his cult popularity before his passing away in 2000.
A cheap lava lamp includes a regular incandescent bulb or halogen lamp of 25 to 40 watts. This bulb heats a tall, shaped glass globe containing water and wax. The wax is slightly denser than the water at room temperature, but becomes less dense as the lamp warms. The wax expands because it is heated, which usually takes a few minutes and it gets fluid
Freely formed blobs of wax rise towards the top of the lamp, where they quickly cool and then come down. There’s a metallic wire coil inside the base of the globe that provides a surface tension breaker therefore the cooled blobs of wax are able to recombine at the bottom of the lamp when they come down
A cheap lava lamp will draw attention in any room and symbolizes a cultural icon of the counterculture generation.

Understanding The Avian Bird Flu Virus And A Look Into Its History
Avian bird flu, a viral disease, also termed as bird flu, avian influenza, type A flu or genus. This flu is a kind of influenza hosted by birds but can affect other animals and particularly humans also. The virus in general is the influenza virus ‘A’ but is a bit different every time the flu breaks out, because of the evolutionary changes it keeps undergoing. New viruses keep getting formed because of genetic mutation and are named using a H number and an N number, which denote different pathogenic profiles. Some of those ones which for sure affect human populace and did so in the past are, H1N1 (Spanish flu, 1918-19) H2N2 (Asian flu, 1957-58), H3N2 (Hong Kong flu, 1968-69), etc. Some of those identified are extinct now because of the constant mutations taking place in the structure of the virus which self destructs its capabilities to infect humans anymore. Also new viruses have come up and currently the major pandemic (epidemic over a wide geographical area) threat is from H5N1 virus.
It was first discovered in Italy in 1878 and was even called fowl plague because of the enormity of its effect in chicken livestock. It was however only in 1955 when avian flu was confirmed to be caused by influenza A viruses. Wild fowl is the natural carrier of the virus, though it is not affected by the virus and is only a transmitter to birds, pigs, horses, etc. The bodies (intestines to be more specific) of gulls, waterfowls and shorebirds are said to be “natural reservoirs” of the disease. Their bodies have long adapted to the problem and have developed internal antibodies to combat the virus. The adaptation, however, does not extend to other species. Hence domestic birds are the most affected and other animals and humans are only marginally affected, in numbers. The bird flu virus causes two forms of influenzas, namely, a low pathogenic form which shows only nominal symptoms and a high pathogenic form which affects internal organs and might prove 100% fatal in 48 hours.
The disease is contagious and spreads through air and in manure. The transmission occurs from air, contaminated water, equipments especially those used in animal farms, clothing, etc. At high temperatures the virus gets destroyed, like in prolonged summers, cooking, steaming, fires, etc. but survives for long periods in cold weather. The bird flu virus starts showing its effects in 3 to 5 days, and can be fatal if highly pathogenic. Hundreds and millions of birds get killed every year, since the most commonly practiced way of eliminating the virus is to slaughter the infected animals.
It has a long history of affecting human population in epidemic form. Those subtypes which infect humans are called human influenza virus. The only known ones are H1N1, H1N2 and H3N2, with H5N1 having a potential threat. The symptoms shown in humans are same as those from other influenza, namely, fever, cough, muscle fatigue, conjunctivitis and sometimes breathing problems and fatal pneumonia. Detection of the avian bird flu virus in the human body can be done using general influenza virus tests, but this might be unreliable. The most reliable test till date is microneutralization but is a complicated test and can be performed only in highly professional laboratories. Normal antiviral drugs work against the human influenza virus but other specific drugs for specific new viruses are being developed.
As far as humans are concerned, the bird flu virus has substantial risk of an influenza epidemic in near future. A primary concern is the rapid spreading of the virus

History. In the winter of 1918, the coldest the American Midwest had ever endured, history’s most lethal influenza virus was born. Over the next year it flourished, killing as many as 100 million people. It killed more people in twenty-four weeks than AIDS has killed in twenty-four years, more people in a year than the Black Death of the Middle Ages killed in a century….
Between August 1918 and March 1919 the Spanish influenza spread worldwide, claiming over 25 million lives, more people than those perished in the fighting of the First World War. It proved fatal to at least a half-million Americans. Yet, the Spanish flu pandemic is largely forgotten today. In this vivid narrative, Alfred W. Crosby recounts the course of the pandemic during the panic-stricken mo…
2012 Disaster Scenarios – What Are The Terrible Events We Must Prepare To Survive?
There are nine possible cataclysmic events for 2012 that would create disaster conditions of a scale that humanity has never experienced before. We’re talking millions, maybe billions of dead worldwide, and a breakdown of society that may take a thousand years to recover from If it ever recovers at all. But if you’re properly prepared all these scenarios are survivable. So as every good soldier knows, we need to get acquainted with the enemy, so we can figure out the best way to beat him.
Here they are in no particular order
Unrestricted Global Nuclear War There are a lot of bad guys out there these days with nuclear capability. From a survival point of view it doesn’t matter who starts it or why, because the end result is the same – global cataclysm straight from hell. So given your family survives the initial atomic blasts and their immediate effects, there are a couple of other major things to worry about – Radiation and the Nuclear Winter.
Radiation. Atomic reactions create radio-active particles which spread out from ground zero, and when they reach high altitude are fanned out by high-level winds. The radio-active particles eventually make their way back down to earth as ‘Fall-Out’. ‘Fall-Out can cause burns and terminal radiation sickness, kill livestock and contaminate soil and the crops that are grown in it. A massive region around the Chernobyl Reactor in Russia is essentially dead ground forever, and that was just an itty-bitty reactor melt-down, not a multi-megaton airburst.
Nuclear winter. When you’ve got a lot of massive atomic explosions at ground level, an incredible amount of dirt and debris is going to be thrown up into the atmosphere – we’re talking millions of tons of black radio-active dust swirling around ten miles high, blocking the sun from reaching the Earth’s surface. We might not see the sun again for two or three years, and without it, it’s going to get real cold and nothing’s going to grow. Huge areas of the planet will turn into dust-bowls and sand storms will blast across Europe and North America. However there will be places mostly in the southern Hemisphere and in the North that are far enough from blast zones to escape most of the radiation and fall-out, and are protected from most of the effects of the nuclear winter. That’s where you want to you and your family want to be to maximize your chance of staying alive in 2012.
Impact from Space This is the very worst of all worst case scenarios. Whether it’s the mystery planet Nibiru, a comet or a monster asteroid, having a massive Near Earth Object (NEO) smash into the Earth is all bad. So if you’re ready to survive this you’re ready for anything! Earth has experienced major NEO strikes many times before, and the biggest of all 65 million years ago made the dinosaurs extinct, overnight. If a NEO hits land we’ll get a situation like the nuclear winter we talked about above, plus a devastating shock-wave, molten lava showers, earthquakes, landslides and volcanic eruptions.
Not even all the atom bombs in the world going off all at once would have a millionth of the power of a NEO impacting our planet. The NEO Impact winter could last decades and plunge the Earth into a new ice-age. If a NEO lands in the ocean we’ll get multiple tsunamis many hundreds of feet high, plus giant earthquakes caused by displacement of tectonic plates that make up the Earth’s crust. Low-lying counties will be turned into fetid swamps, ravaged by disease.We’re likely to get very little warning of an asteroid strike – maybe only hours or even minutes because they travel so fast and are almost invisible against the blackness of space.
On the other hand we may have several months to prepare for an impact by Nibiru or a comet. Unfortunately they are the least likely objects to hit us. So what will it be like in the aftermath of a NEO impact?
Arriving at the speed several thousand miles per hour a giant SEO will have enough power on impact to fracture the Earth’s crust and splash molten lava from the core high into the atmosphere. A massive thousand degree shock-wave will also radiate outwards from Ground-Zero completely levelling trees and buildings for a hundreds of miles in every direction. In an ocean impact, seawater will combine with the lava to cause a super-heated steam blast, plus acid rain. This burning rain would continue falling for years, scouring away every living plant and contaminating all water sources (other than artesian springs in the mountains). To survive a massive NEO strike you’ll need to be far underground, and far from the point of impact to stand any chance at all. However there is still a good chance that the NEO that hits Earth will not be a giant, and that increases your chances of survival massively – as long as you’re prepared that is. Otherwise, no matter where you are, it’s time to kiss your ass goodbye.
Solar Flares The sun is an enormous atomic reactor in the sky. Every now and then extra intense reactions in the sun’s atmosphere occur and solar energy spears out into space. That’s a Solar Flare. Small Solar Flares are detected by astronomers all the time and usually don’t affect us, because our atmosphere safely absorbs and deflects the extra radiation. But, if 2012 means a giant Solar Flare, the Earth’s surface and everything on it could be barbequed in minutes by radiation spread across the whole electromagnetic spectrum. We’d have enough warning to get into bunkers, but only if they were very close by. How bad it will be for your family also depends whether it occurs in the night or day – you definitely don’t want to be outside at noon when a doomsday flare bursts overhead. The good news is it’s relatively easy to build a shelter that will absorb almost all the energy of a Solar Flare, even a giant one, so surviving the event isn’t necessarily the hard part. The real challenge will be staying alive afterwards in what’s left of the world outside your shelter.
Super Volcano Eruption Mount St Helens or Pinatubo are nothing compared to the dormant super volcano that forms Yellowstone National Park. An eruption there would kill millions and render a large portion of central North America uninhabitable. The rest of the world would suffer too from the enormous cloud of volcanic ash thrown up into the atmosphere, creating yet another nuclear winter scenario. However Yellowstone is just one location where super volcanoes are lurking ready to erupt, on land and under the ocean. A monster undersea eruption would be even more deadly, triggering a super tsunami that would travel all around the world, wiping out entire countries as it goes, drowning millions and millions of people within hours. For most people in coastal areas, even low lying places inland, there would be no escape. However those families smart enough or just plain lucky enough to be in non-volcanic areas, on solid ground at over 1000 feet in elevation, will be in better shape – but for how long?
Earthquake It’s not a question of when ‘the big one’ will happen, but where and when. Major displacements of many of the world’s biggest tectonic plates are well overdue – including California’s mighty San Andreas Fault, which would kill millions in LA and along the West Coast. The very worst place to be in an earthquake is a city, especially in a high-rise building, or in the streets below. Damage from most earthquakes on land, even massive ones are usually quite localised, but if we get one under the sea we get a Tsunami. The Indonesian Tsunami of Christmas 2005 killed over one hundred thousand people - drowned or crushed by falling buildings and tumbling debris, or dying later of disease and starvation. If you saw the footage of the FBI carpark during the Samoa Tsunami in 2009 you’ll take Tsunamis very seriously – and that was only 3 feet high! I guess it’s pretty obvious where you want to be to avoid a giant Tsunami? Up very high, far away from the sea. The trouble is, with this scenario like most of the others, the disaster itself is not the only threat – you need to be prepared to deal with other people who’ve survived, but haven’t prepared for it like you have. Most of them will be desperate, and will want what you’ve got.
Super Virus or Bacteria The biggest killers in recorded history have been diseases. The Black Plague of the 14th Century was an incurable bacteria spread by fleas living on rats. In some European towns up to 90% of the population was wiped out. Overall in the 100 years of the Black Plague, 30% of the population of Europe died. And much more recently, within living memory in fact, the Influenza Pandemic of 1919 killed tens of millions all over the world. New disease threats are arising all the time. We’ve handled Bird Flu and Swine Flu pretty well, but will 2012 be the year when the next real plague arrives. International air travel virtually guarantees its almost instant global spread, especially to people living in big, overcrowded cities.
And that’s the clue to survival in this scenario. Fit, healthy families who live in remote rural areas in clean, warm houses and have absolutely minimal contact with the outside world, should be feeling pretty good about their chances.
Polar Reversal Polar Reversal where the magnetic field of the Earth swaps ends is a fact. It happens every 400,000 years or so, but what causes it is still unknown. Polar Reversal could be due to the influence of an undiscovered Black Hole nearby in space, or a massive sudden upsurge in electro-magnetic activity on the sun. Some 2012 experts believe a Polar Reversal will cause the Earth to start spinning in the opposite direction - a horrifying scenario resulting in massive electrical storms, tsunamis and earthquakes in every corner of the earth. Again the smart money is on surviving underground in the mountains. And preferably ancient mountains made of solid rock like the mighty Appalachians.
Black Hole in Space We touched on this scenario before, but now we’ll get more specific. A Black Hole is what’s left over when a giant dying star collapses into a very dense ball of Matter – a ball much smaller than our Moon. This stuff is so dense that a matchbox full of Black Hole Matter would weigh countless thousands of tons. And the thing is that it still has the massive gravitational pull of the huge star whose death created it. In fact, its gravity is so strong that it can swallow up anything within millions of miles – it even pulls in light (which is why they are called Black Holes, because not even light can escape them). A Black Hole suddenly appearing in space, even within several Light-Years of Earth would pull our entire solar system towards it, throwing the orbit of every planet out of kilter. We could collide with Venus, Mars or the Moon. Or the combined gravitational pull of the Black hole aligned with Jupiter and Saturn could rip us away from warmth of the sun, or send us plunging towards it. Either way, the surface of the Earth would quickly become uninhabitable. The only place to survive would be underground in caves or bunkers.
Global Flooding The Bible tells us that Noah had 100 years warning of the Great Flood and used his time to prepare for it, building the ark and collecting animals. We will not have the luxury of so much time to get ready if another great flood is going to engulf the world in 2012. Around 60% of the world’s population live in areas that would be totally submerged by a flood of only 20 feet high. That’s almost three billion people threatened with being drowned. The panic as they all try to get to higher ground simultaneously is almost unimaginable. And for most of them higher ground will be beyond their reach. Already the threat of Global Warming and the gradually rising sea levels that will come with it has lead a lot of people to think about the consequences for them and their loved ones if this scenario comes to pass. However a flood in 2012 would come much more suddenly - accompanied by massive hurricanes with hundred mile per hour winds and days of unrelenting torrential rain. Roads will be made impassable within hours. Remember Hurricane Katrina? This will be 1000 times worse. So what could cause the next Great Flood? The most likely scenario is a near miss by Planet Nibiru. If Nibiru passes between the Earth and the Sun, its gravitational pull could upset the Earth’s orbit pulling us closer to the sun, resulting in a rapid increase in air and sea temperatures. The warmer conditions would mean much faster evaporation of water into the atmosphere. At the same time Nibiru’s near miss would accelerate the speed that the earth spins, causing the Jet Stream (high altitude winds) to speed up as well. And as anyone who knows their weather can tell you, when rapidly rising, hot moisture-laden air and the Jet Stream meet you get one thing - Super Storms. And here’s the thing, we won’t get just one Super Storm. We’ll get hundreds all over the world, with rain like no one has ever seen before, maybe not even Noah. But that’s not all. Even folks living on a lot of the Earth’s higher ground won’t be safe. Widespread catastrophic landslides would come hand in hand with the 2012 Great Flood. Sodden hillsides would give way without warning and plunge to the valleys below, carrying with them whole cities. In recent years landslides have killed countless thousands in South America and China. The Alaskan Tsunami of 1963 was caused by landslide triggered by an earthquake. The end wall of a fjord collapsed into the water, sending a wave over 1000 feet high towards the ocean, obliterating everything in its path. Of course the survival solution to this final scenario is pretty clear. Be in mountain areas where the high slopes are primarily made from solid, stable rock, and make sure to stay out of the valleys, which due to the heavy rain will rapidly become raging torrents.
OK so that’s the bad news. Now let’s see what we can do about helping your family to survive the worst 2012 can throw at you.

The EPA estimated safe level of chloramines in drinking water is 4 mg/l. My city water is 2.5 mg/l. Is 2.5 mg/l a safe level? Government agencies are hardly trustworthy because they’re so heavily influenced by the private sector, but is 2.5 mg/l a safe level for drinking water? I’m thinking about buying a Berkey water purifier, but it doesn’t filter out chloramines. I guess only carbon block purifiers filter out chloramines, so I would have to rule out the Berkey filter if I wanted to filter chloramines. If 2.5 mg/l is unsafe can you recommend a good countertop carbon block purifier? The fluoride level of my city water is .1 ppm. 2ppm is considered safe, so the fluoride level is not a problem I believe. Thanks for any replies.
First, is the 2.5 the added chloramine or the at the tap level. If the added level, all of that will be gone by the time it gets to your tap. It is added to keep bacteria from getting in your pipes. Before you invest in a filter, test at your tap to see if it is even measurable. Even if at the tap, it is “safe” according to USEPA standards.

Colds with or without cough usually are caused by a virus. Antibiotics are not effective against viruses. Colds cannot be cured, but cold symptoms can be treated with over-the-counter medications.
Colds are most contagious during the first 2 to 4 days after symptoms appear, and may be contagious for up to 3 weeks. Your can catch a cold from person-to-person contact or by breathing in virus particles that are spread through the air by sneezing or coughing. Touching the mouth or nose after touching skin or another surface contaminated with a rhinovirus can also spread a cold.
Acetaminophen is less likely to upset your stomach than other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen which are used to relieve aches and pains. However, studies have shown that acetaminophen, aspirin or any other NSAID may worsen asthma and/or peptic ulcers. Aspirin should not be used in children under eighteen years old because it may play a role in causing Reye Syndrome, a rare but severe liver and central nervous system condition. Be sure to discuss all medication choices with your doctor.
A person who is going to cough first draws a deep breath in. This action causes his glottis to close and his muscles to contract, thus building up pressure in the chest. Then suddenly, the glottis opens, an explosive discharge of air sweeps through the air passages and carries with it the excess secretions or, in some cases, foreign matter, which has irritated the larynx, trachea, or bronchi.
Improper use of this medication (abuse) may result in serious harm (e.g., brain damage, seizure, death). Do not increase your dose or take this medication more often than recommended by your doctor or the package instructions without your doctor’s approval.
Flu symptoms are quite similar to cold symptoms; it’s often hard to tell the difference. But there is one clue about flu that can help you know. When you have the flu, you feel flu symptoms sooner than you would cold symptoms, and they come on with much greater intensity. You may feel very weak and fatigued for up to 2 or 3 weeks. You’ll have muscle aches and periods of chills and sweats as fever comes and goes. You may also have a stuffy or runny nose, headache, and sore throat.
Cold or say common cold happens for three to four days and goes back with time. But allergic cold comes more often say every three to four weeks with same time period and symptoms and stay for longer. Better will be ask your health care provider about whether you are suffering from just common cold or allergic cold and cure for the same.
In fact many medical specialists now say that children in particular shouldn’t be given cough medicines, especially with cough suppressants, because they can have potentially dangerous side effects such as drowsiness, balance problems and chest infections in asthmatics. Other ingredients such as antihistamines can cause coughs and decongestants such as pseudoephedrine might cause irritability, sleeplessness and problems with muscle tone.
If your symptoms are bearable, you’re probably better off saving your money and treating your cold or flu the old-fashioned way — by drinking plenty of fluids, resting if possible, and seeing your doctor if your symptoms don’t go away after a few days, or if they get worse.
My son has the stomach flu and has severe diaper rash from diarrhea. It is so bad his butt and penis are blistered. We are changing his diapers immediately when he goes but he is going like every 2 hours so I think the cleaning process is making it worse. The usual desitin is not working because it is raw and he screams. Does anyone have any other suggestions that will give my baby relief? My doctor suggested we just wait it out.
Your doctor is nuts and I would change doctors if I were you. Also are you sure it is diaper rash and not a yeast infection? My son get a yeast infection every time he gets diarrhea. It starts out looking like a diaper rash then turns into a big red rash, bumps and then blisters. Try putting some Monistat yeast infection cream on it and see if it starts helping. If it is diaper rash and not yeast try A+D ointment. It works a lot better then desitin. Also when you change his diaper don’t rub instead pat him clean and try and leave him without a diaper. You can place a soft towel under him.

Treating Gill Flukes in Pike is praziquantel Okay to use?
I’m pretty sure my Xingu Pike, “Itchy” has gill flukes. Is it okay to use Jungle Parasite clear on him? He doesn’t look like he has scales (or they’re tiny) kinda like a loach’s smooth skin. I know this can make fish more sensative to medications. Is he in that category & Is that an okay medication to use?
Praziquantel is a fine choice. It is totally harmless to all fish, in the proper dosage of course. It should clear the problem in just a few days if that long. Many times a single dose and 24 hours will clear gill flukes.
