Noise Reduction NRR 36 : You Can Get It! Here's How

YES, you can achieve NRR 36! (Noise Reduction Rating of 36.) Here is helpful information from the EAR PLUG SUPERSTORE:
The only way you can get higher than NRR 33 is by using ear muffs and ear plugs at the same time, and only then can you achieve an NRR of 34 or greater. An NRR of 34 requires NRR 20 ear muffs worn over NRR 33 ear plugs. You can get to an NRR of 36, but that requires the highest rated muff (NRR 30 or 31) and the highest rated plug (NRR 33) to be worn at the same time.

What about beeswax plugs? We do not recommend them because contrary to some claims, beeswax is not nearly as good a noise insulator as even the cheap foam plugs available at the drug store, and none of the major companies specializing in ear plugs accept the claim of NRR 34 as valid.

The document could not be saved. The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files

I found a solution for Adobe Reader XI. Applicable to Windows XP and Windows 7.
The following Adobe solution applies to the following operating systems:
  • Windows XP
  • Windows 7

Adobe XI Document Could Not Be Saved on a Windows XP or
      a Windows 7 machine: SOLUTION FOUND!

The document could not be saved. The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full

This error message can happen (and does happen) with
Adobe XI installed on a PC running Windows XP or Windows 7. Below is the solution:

You are using Adobe XI and you would like to make changes, then you try
to use File / Save As, to save it as a new PDF file. You receive the following
error message:

The document could not be saved. The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full

The error message says: "The document could not be saved. The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full. Free some space on this disk and try again, or save to a different disk."
 
The SOLUTION begins here:

1. Close Adobe Reader XI. Use File / Exit, to close Adobe Reader XI on your system.
  
2. Find the Adobe Reader XI program shortcut on your system.
       If it's on your desktop, it might look like this:


3. Then, select the Adobe Reader XI icon and then right-click and select 'Properties'.


The 'Properties' selection when you right-clicked the Adobe XI program shortcut

Once you have selected 'Properties' you should see this dialog window with these tabs.

This is the program path (highlighted) for Adobe XI. Here, it's shown on a Windows XP computer.

4. Click the 'Find Target' button.


Windows should find the target, which is called an 'executable' file.
If you have your settings to display file extensions, you likely will
       see the extension 'exe' after the file's name. 'exe' stands for 'executable'

5. Right-click the AcroRd32 executable file (it is shown here in red) and
       then select Properties.

Right-click on the executable file AcroRd32 and select 'Properties' on the list.

6. When you have selected 'Properties' from the list, you will then select Compatibility Mode for Windows 2000. (You should see Windows 2000 when you click the drop-down arrow.)



Adobe XI: set the Compatibility Mode to 'Windows 2000'.

6. Make sure you select Compatibility Mode for Windows 2000. (You should see Windows 2000 when you click the drop-down arrow.)

7. Then click Apply, then click OK.

8. Now, you are ready to use File / Save As, and then save the file with the same name, or with a different name. I typically change the file's name.




And now we're done! Yippettie Dooh Dah! (or was that Zippettie Dooh Dah?)

You did it! You solved the problem! Yay!

'Obama Likely Does Not Know God Nor Bible'

Mark Driscoll on Inauguration Day: Obama Likely Knows Neither God nor Bible

As Americans tuned in to watch President Barack Obama be sworn into office for his second term on Jan. 21, a number of Christian leaders took to their Twitter accounts to offer reaction.

Arguably the most impassioned remark came from Pastor Mark Driscoll, founding pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, Wash., who wrote that Obama knows neither God or the Bible. "Praying for our president, who today will place his hands on a Bible he does not believe to take an oath to a God he likely does not know," Driscoll tweeted. The Mars Hill Church pastor's tweet was retweeted by more than 2,100 people.

The president has publicly professed his faith in God many times, but also has been accused by conservatives of attacking religious freedom, most notably with the Affordable Care Act that mandates religious employers to offer insurance that covers birth control, including abortifacient, to their employees. ...
