Building an Eco-Friendly Cob House

What is cob?

Cob building dates back hundreds of years ago, and cob houses built over 500 years ago in Europe are still inhabited to this day.

buckets of wet clay and sand are mixed by foot (or by horse, oxen, concrete mixer, or even Bobcat excavators) and then combined with straw to produce a sticky, malleable material that can be rolled into palm-sized loaves (or “cobs”, which is where the name originated) and then laid onto a foundation and sculpted by hand to build thick and massive cob walls

The properties of cob

When cob dries, it resembles rock or concrete in its hardness. With a nice thick coat of plaster, cob can withstand significant weathering before it starts to (slowly) wear away.

Cob has better “thermal mass“, which means it is capable of capturing and storing large amounts of heat.

Cob: beautiful and environmental

Cobbing is simple and cooperative

We've built a lot of mixers in the last 35 years or so (over 160,000 at the last count) and we still get a huge buzz out of doing it well. It's an unbeatable feeling to know that at any time of day or night, right across the globe, there is an Allen & Heath mixer out there working hard, sounding great and making life a little easier for the guy at the controls.

Back in the early 70s we were hand-building consoles for elite bands like Pink Floyd and The Who. These days Allen & Heath customers are spread across almost every environment imaginable, including touring, theatres, churches, nightclubs, tv and radio stations, recording studios and countless other places where great sound matters.

Indian mixer-grinders - Sumeet and others

Sat, 20 Sep 2008 00:19:15 GMT

clipped by: Lexica
clipper's remarks: A mixer-grinder is one of the items on my kitchen wishlist. The coffee grinder I've been using really isn't up to the job.

Clip Source: www.wanderingspoon.com

Here’s my confession about falling for an Indian blender. There have been others—my nonsense Hamilton Beach from cooking school, my worn but trustworthy Braun, that flashy one-night stand from Target—but none have the same dedicated place in my heart or on my counter.

For reliability and customer service. the brand highlighted in this interview has been surpassed by Preethi and Meenumix. (A special callout here to Dan Haynes for reminding me of this!) If you’re looking to order one of these special machines, check out Perfect Peninsula based in Texas or the Meenumix website.

Wide, flat blades situated low help grind hard spices super-fine.

Oh, you can try a food processor or a coffee mill. But the appliance South Asian cooks can’t do without is the mixer-grinder.

These blenders, they're extremely powerful when compared to let's say an ordinary blender

this is important for any traditional Indian cooking

the sheer power to grind all the dry spices or any of the gravies that you make

The Social Network as a Career Safety Net

In a world of economic instability and corporate upheaval, savvy professionals like the technology consultant Josh So epitomize the benefits of brushing up your online image and keeping it polished.

Within hours of updating his job status on the social-networking site LinkedIn, Mr. So won four job interviews through his contacts there. Within a week, two of the interviews resulted in offers. And within less than a month, his employer counteroffered with a position in another division and a $25,000 bump in his annual salary.

While it lacks the glamour of more popular sites like MySpace and Facebook, LinkedIn “is the place to be,” said the JupiterResearch media analyst Barry Parr, if you want to make professional contacts online. LinkedIn is a “Chamber of Commerce mixer,” he said.

Mountain Dew was meant to be a whiskey mixer

Invented in the 1940s in Tennessee, Mountain Dew was meant to be mixed with whisky. In fact, its bottles were designed to look like moonshine, and the original Mountain Dew labels featured outhouses, stills, and hay-chewing yokels.
