Consol HQ becomes latest link in regional EV charging network

Consol Energy Inc. on July 2 showed off a new alternative fuel vehicle and an electric vehicle charging station at its Southpointe headquarters as part of a "Declaration of Energy Independence" celebration.
The company unveiled a new Chevrolet Volt for its corporate fleet. The car includes an electric source and a battery that allows drivers to drive without gas for an estimated 38 miles and a gas generator producing electricity, so drivers can go up to 380 miles on a full tank of gas.
The company, one of the country's leading diversified energy companies in the U.S., producing both coal and natural gas, also became the latest link in the "Energy 376 Corridor" project, designed to create one of the most extensive charging station networks in the country.
"The installation of the EV charging station underscores the important role that our region's abundant natural resources – both the recently found unconventional natural gas potential and our vast supplies of coal – play in supporting American energy security and independence," said Steve Winberg, Consol's vice president of research and development.
Winberg acknowledged later that as a supplier of coal and natural gas to the nation's energy grid, Consol stands to benefit as more Americans purchase alternative fuel vehicles.
Bringing more alternative fuel vehicles to market is a major goal of America's Big 3 automakers, said Jeff Tomlin, fleet account executive from General Motors' Fleet & Commercial Division, one of the speakers at the event, attended by about 200 Consol employees and several county officials.
While Tomlin noted that GM sees an alternative fuels future for its small and mid-sized passenger cars, "we're nowhere near mass-producing the EV."
But Tomlin said GM is nearing a point where the cost of producing alternative fuel vehicles will be reduced, which should entice more Americans to buy them.
Both Tomlin and Bob Johnson, regional account executive for Chrysler's Group Fleet, who showed two of his company's compressed natural gas pickup trucks, said Detroit is also working toward producing more alternative fuel vehicles because of an Environmental Protection Agency standard that calls for vehicles to achieve an average 50.4 miles per gallon by 2025.
"We won't do it on existing gasoline vehicles and current technologies," Johnson said.
Having EV cars and CNG pickups being purchased by large companies for their corporate fleets helps the carmakers sell more alternative vehicles while they work to make them more affordable and applicable for the mass market, Price added.
"About 30 percent of Big 3 sales go to fleets," Price said. "Large fleets, such as Consol Energy's, tend to be early adopters of newer technology and provide an opportunity to test our vehicles' applicability and durability in their field use and gather valuable feedback."
The other piece of the puzzle for making alternative fuel vehicles the cars and trucks of choice is fueling infrastructure, something that was addressed by Rick Price, executive director of Pittsburgh Region Clean Cities.
The Eaton Level II EV charging station, such as the one installed at Consol's headquarters, is one of 45 units that will be installed in the greater Pittsburgh region as part of the Energy 376 Corridor project, said Price, who added that Clean Cities will soon have a total of 81 stations in the region.
"The Pittsburgh Region Clean Cities Coalition has presently installed over 35 Level II electric vehicle charging stations, including the one at Consol Energy's headquarters," Price said, adding that his group sees the electric vehicle/plug-in hybrid/hybrid vehicle market "as a viable way to reduce the amount of petroleum-based fuels we use and help the nation become energy independent."
The charging station is the first alternative fueling station in Southpointe, which is home to many natural gas producers and other service companies related to the energy industry. The station will be available for use at any time by all Consol Energy employees.

A house block for a home
Cathryn Clinton
February 12, 2008
AKRON, Pa. – Quilt squares depicting houses are being used to raise money to rebuild homes in a cyclone-torn area of Bangladesh.
Throughout 2007, house blocks or quilt squares depicting houses were collected for projects for Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) 2008 relief sales. The house blocks are being used to create quilts, wall hangings and other textile projects that will be sold or auctioned at relief sales.
Proceeds from these house block projects will help rebuild homes in an area of Bangladesh that was hit hard by Cyclone Sidr when it made landfall on Nov. 15, claiming more than 3,400 lives and destroying many houses.
To date, over 230 house blocks have been collected in the United States and Canada.
This house block project began after the 2006 "Share Your Heart" effort which collected heart quilt blocks. The project brought in more than $67,928 for MCC, according to Harriet Berg, relief sale coordinator.
Last spring, Phyllis Schmidt, a contributor to the project, was intrigued by the idea of the house blocks and decided to present it to her women's group at the Greensburg Mennonite Church in Greensburg, Kansas.
But she didn't get the chance. On May 4, 2007 a tornado tore through the town. While Schmidt's house in the country was spared, the tornado destroyed the homes of the other women in the group.
Schmidt's granddaughter, 8-year-old Hannah Funk cried when she visited Greensburg and saw the destruction. All the familiar sights including the grain elevator, the church and even the main street stores were gone.
Hannah loves to draw and wanted to help her grandmother, so she drew an imaginary house for Phyllis to use in a quilt block.
A Bangladesh traveling quilt was inspired by Colleen Graber of the Mennonite World Relief Sale in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. During last year's sale, Graber led children in creating house blocks in the children's activity center.
The traveling quilt will go to relief sales to be used as a symbol while information on the Bangladesh house building project is shared during the auctions. Donations are then taken from the floor and will go toward the project.
To learn more about the house block project watch for updates on http://mcc.org/reliefsales/quiltprojects/. For a schedule of 2008 relief sales in the United States and Canada, click on http://mcc.org/reliefsales.

Wow Merlin, when I read your post, I had to double check it wasn't mine! This is my third challenge as well. I am doing BFL because I have gained some weight after tearing a labrum in my hip doing triathlons. Strangely enough, I can still run without much pain, but cycling is now out of the question. I'm building up sick time (and the nerve) to get my hip fixed. Until then, BFL for me! I'm in week 4, and am very pleased with my results so far. I've lost 7 lbs, and am getting much stronger already. I love this program!
Had a solid UBW did incline barbell as the major lift
Hey Macie! I am still in! I really make an effort to post at least on Friday nights. I want to post more, I just didn't have much free time during the past week. I am doing great. This is my second challenge so its really week 14 for me and will do my first official weigh in of Challenge #2 on Sunday. I am really happy with the way my body is reshaping itself and I know by end of June I will be looking forward to wearing shorts!!!
I made the best BFL approved meal yesterday. Grilled marinated Flank Steak, cilantro lime rice (2 Cups cooked Brown Rice, mix in 1 TBS cilantro and 1 TBS Lime juice) topped with corn salsa (2 Cups grilled frozen corn and 1-1/2 chopped pablano peppers in a pie tin. Once done, mix in 1 TBS minced red onion and 1/2 tsp cilantro and a splash of lime juice.) Yummolisious! Simarly, one of my most favorite meals is grilled chicken breast and brown rice with sauteed banana peppers, onions and mushrooms on top. So simple but SO GOOD!
When I started BFL in January I could barely do 1 pushup from my knees without great effort. A few weeks after I started I set a personal goal to be able to do 5 REAL pushups with good form. Today I reached that goal!! So excited. I have a reminder in my room that says "Have you done your pushup today?" and so I practice everyday. That 5th pushup was extremely difficult. It was only my desire to reach that goal that pushed me to finish strong. So if you haven't set any personal short term goals, now would be a good time! My new goal is to do 10 pushups!
If at first you don't succeed, try try again!
Sally!! Good to see you - I've been wondering how you are. Glad to see you are still in it - was hoping everyone is just busy. I have not tried doing a push up, really tweaked my elbow and shoulder lifting my mom a few months back. Trying to carefully build strength without injuring myself, I don't know if I could still do one or not.
Regarding my shoulder - I could actually see the difference between shoulders when I had my "rear" before picture taken. My left shoulder is lower and softer looking than my right, so one goal is to get that strengthened. It seems to be happening as part of the program and can tell a difference even after only 2 weeks. Yesterday my mom was unable to get out of bed, so helping her and lifting her did not hurt and I felt stronger, but was still very careful. My greatest fear is getting knocked out by some sort of injury and using that as an excuse to go back to old habits. This challenge truly is a mindset in that regard.
Have a great weekend everyone!!
Yesterday was my free day. My intention was to remain fairly healthy but eat more at each meal to increase calories, have some of the healthier foods I enjoy but are not on my list. Did good and was well satisfied with what I had - until the very end of my day. It was a rough day as my mom was not feeling well and very concerned for her all day, very stressful. Feeling responsible, questioning my decision making on her medications and treatment, wondering if I am doing the right thing by her. After she was in bed for the night I sat on the couch and ate chocolate covered pretzels and ice cream.
Of course today I feel terrible! I know we have our free day so we can enjoy a few treats, but surely bingeing out like that was not the intention of the program. I can be somewhat of an "all or nothing" type personality and perhaps use this as an excuse to give up - but I'm here to say IT'S NOT HAPPENING!
I'm getting ready to do my cardio workout - I will learn new, healthy ways to deal with the stress! Gardening my heart and telling myself it's okay to feel stress, it's natural to be afraid and cry, that I'm doing the best that I can to take care of my mom and sometimes life is what it is - not easy. I'm standing firm in my faith and trusting God will take care of her. Letting go and letting God. I truly feel his hand was in this - leading me to this program to sustain me for what is a very difficult time. I knew it when I started - so I will move on and continue on. I'll let you know how the cardio does for me......
Okay - Here I am, back again after my cardio workout. Boy do I feel great!! My mind is clear and made a few decisions I can feel good about.
1. Thanks for listening....I know this really isn't the place for this kind of stuff, so am planning on starting a support thread for people who are in the midst of some difficult times. A place for us to vent so I'm not doing it here. Of course I am committed to our group and will continue to post on workout progress and also enjoy seeing how you are doing. I've never started a thread before, new to this, but thinking it would be most appropriate under "The Abyss". Will entitle it - Reflections.
2. I'll talk to my mom's doctor about the medications at her appointment on Tuesday. I cannot feel responsible for determining her medications and dosages. I'm going to drive myself nuts if I do!
3. Although it was my free day, I totally used it to pig out and I wasn't even hungry. I was quite satisfied with the foods I ate for my free day - so this was emotional eating. The next time I feel as though I want to eat due to stress, I will go for a walk on the treadmill and do some stretching. As I found out this morning - there is nothing like a little exercise to clear the mind and put things into perspective!!
I hope you all come back soon!! Hope you are having a great weekend!!
Good Morning Macie! This BFL plan is a process. And your last 2 posts were a perfect picture of that process! You did good. Would you have reflected on your "emotional" eating and make a decision to "exercise" instead if you had not been doing BFL? Would you have gotten on the treadmill to clear your mind to the point where you were able to make good decisions about your mothers health? I think your faith has indeed led you here. I know mine did and its working for me. Not just losing body weight, but losing emotional and mental weight too. I also think your idea to start a thread for others struggling with difficult times was great and trust me, I will be there! :) Hang in there, your free day is your free day. You can eat, you can not eat, its up to you and your journey! You did good Macie! I think you will be an inspiration to others and you already have. As a mother of a daughter that I love to pieces, I can tell you, I would not want to feel like I was burdening my daughter. I know that she would want to do whatever she could for me though. I think she would just want you to do the best that you can and let the doctors and God handle the rest. You are a good daughter and I think she must be proud of you. One thing that I do when I want to eat for stress, I just eat another "clean" meal. Having a few protein bars in different flavors (peanut butter-chocolate and choc mint are my faves) or some turkey bacon on a sandwich thin with a light coating of lite cream cheese can usually kill the brains message to satisfy a craving. And when I eat the 6 meals a day I rarely experience those cravings anymore.
Thank you so much Sally - what you said is entirely true, all of it, but most especially the part about not wanting to be a burden. I'm sure that is the last thing my mom would ever want for me.
Managed to figure out how to start the thread, quite easy really! Looking forward to seeing you there and here!!
Morning everybody and welcome to Week 3!!! Congrats to all making it here.
Great posts Macie. Sally is right, that it is a process that can be challenging. 12 weeks may seem easy at first, but it is difficult to lose old habits, and easy to revert back to old ways without even thinking about it. Stressful situations definitely have that effect. I find when I'm under stress, the last place I want to go is the gym, however, ironically, it is probably the best place to be because you get the endorphin high after it that makes you feel good.
I started my free day (Sunday) on Saturday afternoon instead. Had lunch in the city with a friend, and ate some 'extras'. Also porked out a bit that night, also with the icecream. Yesterday though, my actual free day I did a light bike session and just cut back to 4 meals, so nothing to bad.
Congrats Sally on the push-ups!! A great achievement. You should be able to reach 10 of them much faster than the time it took to hit 5. Well done!!
To surfslacker. I also tore my labrum, training for my first triathlon. I had the arthroscope and the Dr told me cycling was over for me. However that was about 10 years ago, and I find that through exercising properly I'm regaining strength, that oneday I will make it back on. Probably not on a road bike, but more upright on a mountain bike. So Xterra is a good candidate. Perhaps you could aim for that one once better.
I had a really good upper body workout this morning. I love doing the upper body (probably a guy thing), and I had some more slight increases in weights which is a good feeling. Shoulder pressing 18kg dumbbells was pretty cool, and bench pressing 26kg dumbbells also were new highs.
Week 3--- let's do this!
Killed smith machine squats at 6:30am this morning. Thank you AC/DC... since my workout partner was a no show, I needed something to get me going.
Haha! I had AC/DC "Thunderstruck" as my power song this morning.
Sorry! Posted in the wrong forum :)
Go week 3!!
Guess I'm going to have to try some AC/DC while working out!
Thanks for the support Tim - yes, so true - changing habits and forgiving myself, moving on when I do revert -- just thinking about how important that is as I have a tendency to go for perfection and give up when I make a mistake. Crazy huh?!
LBWO done duel time the much needed rest
Last night I took delivery of some new workout equipment!! I am doing a heart rate recovery fitness test this morning.....

Pars Oil & Gas Company announces friendship pipeline to carry Iran's gas to Iraq and Syria
Monday, Jan 14, 2013Petroleum ministry's spokesperson, Alireza Nikzad Rahbar, made the remarks today at a press conference adding a 56-inch gas pipeline that starts from Assaluyeh, onshore installations of South Pars Gas Field, will reach Iran-Iraq border to feed three gas-burning power plants in the neighboring country.
Iran and Iraq have taken some steps for construction of the pipeline, Nikzad said adding in near future a three lateral meeting in Baghdad will draft necessary program for extending the pipeline to Syria soil.
The gas pipelined will be designed in a way that having enough capacity for gas exports to other Muslim countries including Jordan and Lebanon, the official said adding the pipeline is likely to be extended to the border of European countries in order to meet their gas needs, if necessary.
He added the planned pipeline would deepen regional and religious ties among the three countries as well as other Muslim countries in the region.
Referring to construction of Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline, Nikzad said construction of two gas pipelines including Peace and Friendship is a sign of prevailing good relations in the region.
On the latest developments related to construction of Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline, the official said: Under agreements reached between the two counties it is expected construction of the pipeline to come to an end in near future and gas exports to start new year.

But the incoming call screen only lasts for a tenth of a sec, not giving time do awser it. It then goes back to the slide for emergency thing, but still keeps ringing. What can I do?

If you have at least 10.4, but not 10.4.6, click on the "Software Update" button located below the OS version number in the "About this Mac" window and install the appropriate updates. If your computer is running Mac OS X 10.3 or older, you will need to use Virex instead.
1) Return to the download page and follow the instructions for downloading VirusScan for Mac OS X. After your browser has downloaded VirusScan, you should have a similar to "VirusScan.dmg" disk image icon on your desktop (or in your Finder windows if you don't have the option to show disk icons on the desktop selected).
2) Double-click VirusScan.pkg on the VirusScan disk image.
3) The installer will ask for permission to run a program to determine if VirusScan can be installed on your computer. Click Continue to go ahead. Next, it should present you with a welcome screen, a read me and a license agreement (click Continue for each of these). After displaying the license agreement, it will ask you to agree to it. You need to click Agree to install VirusScan.
4) The installer will ask you which disk you want to install Virex on. The default is the startup disk containing your computer's operating system software. Click Continue to select that location. Click Install to actually proceed with the installation. It will ask you for an administrator's password. This is often the username and password of the first login account that was set up on your computer. DoTS does not know the administrator's username and password for your home computer. Click OK once you have entered the required information.
5) After installing the software, the installer should indicate the software was successfully installed. Click Close.

Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library Digital Collections
October 9, 1970
Mr. MANSF!.ELD. Mr. President, it is
a coincidence, yet nonetheless significant,
that this year's "Day of Bread" observance
on October 6 occurred almost
simultaneously with the formation of
the National Wheat Institute. Day of
Bread is a symbolic expression of international
gratitude for the staff of life.
As such it serves to focus worldwide attention
on the great contribution wheat
makes to the human diet, and the important
qualities that make wheat a major
weapon in the fight against hunger
and malnutrition. This year's observance
is enhanced considerably by the formation
of a new organization which will
attempt through a national research and
promotion program to make wheat even
more attractive and beneficial to people
at home and abroad.
The work of the State wheat commission
in my own State and in the nine
other commercial wheat States has
proven beyond a doubt that research and
promotion funds can be put to constructive
use to increase utilization of this
basic commodity.
Basic and applied research aut¥rized
by these commissions have played a rna- ·
jor role in unlocking the nutritional se-·
crets of wheat. But until now, their activities
have lacked cohesive and comprehensive
support on the national level.
Now, for the first time, a program that
is national in scope is being implemented
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 46 , Folder 70, Mansfield Library, University of Montana.
October 9, 1970 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD- SENATE s 17621
to seek expanded exports and to achieve
an elusive, yet basic, objective of the
American wheat producer: to break the
40-year-old cycle of declining per capita
Based in Washington, the National
Wheat Institute will focus on two areas
of critical importance: First, research
on enrichment, fortification, and market
development; and second, a change in
public attitude that, hopefully, will bring
about more widespread appreciation for
wheat's excellent nutritional qualities.
Figures on per capita U.S. wheat consumption
for the past 40 years vividly
dramatize the need for such a program.
During that period, fiour consumption
has dropped from 169 pounds to 112
pounds, and even though the rate of decline
has slowed sharply in recent years,
the net result is that Americans now
are eating about a third less wheat than
The trend is especially distressing to
the American wheat producer, who finds
himself hemmed in by a somewhat static
domestic market in which population
increase alone provides room for growth.
In addition, the wheat producer is beset
by the same chronic ills that plague other
major segments of agriculture: his costs
for supplies, equipment, taxes-virtually
everything he buys-continue to rise,
but his prices stay the same.
From his standpoint, the formation
of this new organization is indeed a
hopeful sign. Before we examine the potential
it offers, we should consider how
this organization came about, and how
it will be funded.
During the 1968-69 farm program
year, here was ~tn accumulation of approximately
$4.2 million in the Wheat
Inverse Subsidy Pool, which was established
as a means of keeping our wheat
competitive with world prices. Because of
pricing arrangements under the International
Grains Agreement during 1968,
world wheat prices for much of that
year held about our domestic prices-the
only recent year in which such conditions
have prevailed. Fewer payments
from the pool thus were needed to keep
our wheat moving into international
trade. And, the books at USDA showed
a balance of $4.2 million at the end of
the program year.
The mere disbursing of a pool of that
size would pose considerable difficultyespecially
since approximately 832,000
wheat producers participated in the program.
More than half the refunds to producers
would be !or less than $3.
And so, Congress, by a unanimous vote
in both Chambers, approved legislation
that gives producers the opportunity to
accomplish jointly what they could not
possibly do alone: to sponsor a comprehensive
program designed to increase
utilization and to improve their overall
competitive position.
I emphasize the point that Government
funds are not involved in this program.
I also emphasize the point that
this is not a scheme to usurp funds that
rightfully belong to producers. The right
of the individual to withdraw his 'pro
rata contribution from the pool has been
carefully safeguarded. The legislation
passed by Congress provides for a 90-day
period in which any producer can with-draw
his contribution to the fund-and
none of the money can be spent until
that 90 days has expired.
I believe the great majority of producers
will welcome the opportunity to
participate in a program of this kindthat
they will quickly recognize and accept
the challenge to achieve a common
Certainly this is the quickest way for
wheat producers to generate needed and
dramatic impact; it is also the least painful
way financially. Actually the possible
refunds would only amount to 0.5 percent
times the producers 1968 certificate payment.
The fact that the program will not
work a hardship on producers is fairly
evident from the breakdown on the size
of the payments-or possible refundsinvolved:
229,000 would be for less than
a dollar; 417,000 would be for between $1
and $5.79; and only about 5,000 producers
are eligible for a refund of more than
The most important questions from the
producer's standpoint are:
Who will administer the funds once
a determination has been made of how
much money is available?
What potential does the program
What projects would the Institute undertake?
First, the funds will be administered
by wheat producers serving on the Institute's
board of directors. These producers
will also represent the general farm organizations
who founded the National
Wheat Institute: U.S. Durum Growers,
NFO, Farmers Union, National Grange,
and National Association of Wheat
Growers. The Board will have an ex
officio member from USDA, and the Secretary
of Agriculture will also approve
specific program projects.
In addition to this organization structure,
the Institute will also have an advisory
committee consisting of representatives
of other segments of the wheat
industry, such as the Millers National
Federation, the American Bakers Association,
the Wheat and Wheat Food
Foundation, and others. The advice and
counsel of technical advisers from universities
and research organizations will
also be available to the Iruititute.
The exciting side of this story is that
such an undertaking may well trigger a
major shift in emphasis for wheat, a shift
in which there is less concentration on
conspicuous production, and much greater
emphasis on intelligent consumption.
In the past few decades, the American
wheat producer has made tremendous
strides from a production standpoint.
Per acre yields nationally have risen
dramatically in the past 20 years-from
about 20.7 bushels per acre-the 1950-
60 average-to about 30.7 bushels per
acre in 1969.
Yet, wheat has fallen far short in the
critical areas of utilization. Exports have
risen, yes. But not enough. In addition,
the wheat industry has been unable to
combat effectively the present deplorable
consumption trend.
The solution to this problem will be
difficult at best; it will require a fundamental
change in public attitude.
When the economy of a nation lm-proves
significantly, as ours has in recent
years, the traditional foods in the
diet--usually those high in starch content,
and relatively inexpensive-decline
in utilization. In the United States we
have seen a terrific increase in consumption
of meat in the past decade or so, and
this meant a general upgrading in the
diets of consumers primarily because
meat Is an excellent source of protein.
Yet converting grain into animal protein
is an expensive process; it takes 10
pounds of feed to make one pound of
beef; about 2 pounds of feed to make
a pound of chicken; and about 3
pounds of feed to make a pound of eggs.
Most of the underdeveloped countries
cannot afford to make that conversion.
Here we can, and while we have witnessed
an amazing increase in consumer
demand for meat, we have also seen a
reduction in demand for starch-based
Most Americans have become extremely
diet conscious. The unfortunate aspect
for wheat Is that breadstuffs are
distinguished in the public mind as high
in starch content--something to steer
clear of it you do not want to get fat.
It is unfortunate because the facts speak
otherwise. The nutritionists make an excellent
case for wheat as a basic part of
the diet--the possibilities through enrichment
and fortification hold fantastic
potential-but only if basic research Is
applied on a practical level. This coupled
with more Intelligent consumption on
the part of the public can have a strong
positive impact for wheat.
This dual challe.nge should serve as a
guidepost for the new National Wheat
The experts seem in general agreement
that traditional uses provide the greatest
potential for expanded domestic wheat
utilization. Still we need to know a great
deal more ~bout established eating
habits. More knowledge about consumption
patterns is needed in order for nutritionists
to make good value judgments
about the overall role bread plays in our
diet. Once this 'Is known, enriched and
fortified products can be made that are
attractive in terms of taste and texture
and also from an economic standpoint.
For example, considerable evidence now
suggests that fortification of flour-based
foods represents the most appropriate
way to improve the Iron content of the
American diet.
And so to increase domestic consumption,
wheat needs new and improved
products; there is an urgent need for an
organization that will not only help develop
these products, but will also promote
them with the general public.
The Institute's other major target
are~xports-is equally prom1smg.
Most of the world's population still depends
on cereal grains as Its primary
source of caloric intake. And of the
world's total acreage planted to cereals,
31 percent is devoted to wheat.
Japan recently became our first billion
dollar customer for agricultural
products, and if its example of wheat
usage is followed by the developing nations,
the possibilities for increased wheat
exports are staggering But again, these
nations will develop as good customers
for American wheat only as a result of
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 46 , Folder 70, Mansfield Library, University of Montana.
s 17622 CONGRESS! ON AL RECORD-SENATE
sound technological. economic and market
development work
The role of wheat and other cereal
grains in combating world hunger will
become increasingly important; the basic
problem of nutritional deficiency bolls
down to one o! finding a digestible and
acceptable balance of proteins. And in
many countries livestock sources are out
of the question for cost reasons for many
years to come. The problem is made especially
complex because even if sumcient
good quality food is available, getting
it into the diet of illiterate, unknowing
and unbelieving people may still be
impossible. The obstacles here again
challenge the initiative of the wheat industry
because centuries' old habits, traditions,
taboos and methods must be
erased or circumvented. Whole national
habits of eating, cooking, serving, preparing,
marketing, growing, processing,
storing, and selling are involved.
Yet, the technology needed to overcome
these problems is emerging at a
rapid rate.
The National Wheat Institute should
give a significant boost to the effort already
underway to put this technology to
work. Some of our competitors, such as
Canada with its central marketing organization,
are making major strides in
this field, and it is essential that we keep
pace with them.
I am especially encouraged that the
Nation's· wheat producers will have for
the first time at the national level a
source of guidance and assistance in the
critical area of increased utilization.
It represents a major opportunity to
attack wheat's persistent and perplexing
problem of underconsumption at home,
and meet the challenge of expanding exports

Hi all,
Wall of text incoming:
I've got a few questions regarding the installation of a new hand-built ramdisk for data retrieval from my phone.
I'm trying something like the Zdziarski method, where I create a working filesystem, overwrite the existing kernel and then extract using dd or some other imaging program. I'm familiar with *nix/BSD systems, so the concept is fairly straightforward to me, but the hardware is not.
Phone was jailbroken for unlocking purposes, so I don't have SSH or any interpreter onboard, just cydia. The problem is that the phone is stuck in a recovery loop. Previous to this, I've tried setting the env var auto-boot true, and it attempts to boot then fails and returns to recovery mode. I'm figuring some kind of kernel panic, hence why I want to try the ramdisk.
I can't mount or seem to access the phone's fs at all due to the recovery mode, and I've tried a lot, including iRecovery to get it to boot just once to get the stuff off.
Anyways, using a custom ipsw from pwnagetool, I've mounted the restore ramdisk, and all the info at this point on the web regarding the ram disk is either incomplete or way dated.
All I need is the kernel, I don't need a payload per se, and I sure as hell don't want to run the restore daemons built in, as it would nuke my data.
I've noticed that the Zdziarski method calls on editing a property list, and this doesn't exist in the 4.x bundle as best I can tell. instead, everything is called from rc.boot, which Apple turned into a binary instead of script.
Does anyone know if I can just get rid of rc.boot, and *hopefully* just overwrite the existing install, leaving the old run control files in place?
Also, once I've got a finished disk, I suppose it has to be reencrypted using the same keys?

A few caveats: absolutely make sure that the outlet you are plugging into is a GFI. You should also have it fitted with and "in use cover".
Ensure that the extension cord that you are using is in impeccable condition. No cracks in the jacket or exposed insulation, and especially no exposed wire. Make sure that where you plug in the lights to the extension cord, you are off the ground. Possibly reserve this cord for this use only.
Fluorescent tend to not like to strike in the cold. They have improved in recent years, but I could not possibly tell you that what you have will strike at say 40 deg F.
Now I really should be trying to encourage you to do this the legitimate way. How hard is it to dig a trench? You need to go 18" down. That is not that deep. You almost certainly would get by with a 30amp 120/240 service. That is three lengths of 10gauge from a two pole 30a breaker in your main panel out to a sub panel in the shop.
Run it in plastic conduit. You could use 1/2" but spend a tiny bit more and use 3/4" and the wire will pull itself thru the conduit. To avoid needing to purchase a large fish tape, which for one job is a bit of an investment, pull some pull string (there is a specific product in the electrical dept) thru the conduit as you assemble it.
Square D has a great 6 space breaker panel that costs next to nothing that I use a lot on gigs like this. You can have a 15a breaker in there for all the lighting, and a 20a breaker for any tools, and still have room for a 240v tool like a welder or air compressor. (A 240v air compressor will deliver LOTS of air!)
You need to drive a ground rod near the new sub panel, and you need to ensure that any neutrals in your new sub only connect to the neutral bar in the sub, with no connection to the grounds or the case of the sub panel, and that all the grounds and metal components be bonded together and grounded to the ground rod. (You do not attempt to link the grounds in the shed to the ground in the main panel).
If there is any plumbing in the building, it should be bonded to the ground as well to ensure that it is at the same potential as the ground rod and the grounds running in the shed.
If the materials all come to $250 I'd be a monkey's uncle.

AURORA — Police have identified the woman who was found dead in a pickup truck Wednesday afternoon as an Aurora resident who was known to have medical problems.
Police are continuing to investigate the death of 35-year-old Abigail Sanchez, whose body was found in her live-in boyfriend's pickup truck in the 600 block of Front Street.
At about 1 p.m. Wednesday, officers were dispatched to a suspicious vehicle that had been parked and running on the street for several hours.
They found Sanchez, of the 800 block of North Gladstone Avenue., on the passenger side floor board unconscious and not breathing. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
When Sanchez was removed from the vehicle there were no outward signs of trauma to her body, police said. Police said Thursday that Sanchez had known medical problems.
Sanchez was reported missing at 8 a.m. Wednesday by a family member, police said. The family member became concerned, police said, after learning from Sanchez's boyfriend that she had not returned to their apartment since she left to give a female acquaintance a ride at around noon on Tuesday.
Police said investigators were told that a man was seen getting out of the truck in which Sanchez's body was found at about 9 a.m. Wednesday.
Police believe they know the identity of the man, and also know who the woman is who received the ride from Sanchez on Tuesday. Police were attempting to find them for questioning Thursday afternoon.
Anyone with information is asked to call Aurora Police Investigators at 630-256-5500.
An autopsy is scheduled for Friday at the Kane County Coroner's Office.

Peter Gabriel's 'Not One of Us' is taken from one of Q Magazine's top 100 Greatest British Albums. Produced by Steve Lillywhite, this album of May 1980 features Jerry Marotta and Phil Collins drumming, the guitar of Robert Fripp, David Rhodes, Paul Weller and XTC's Dave Gregory. The album produced the 1980 hit single "Games Without Frontiers", and the anthemic "Biko".
'Not One Of Us' is made available here as part of Peter's 'Scratch My Back' project of reciprocal covers. On the record of the same name Peter has covered 'The Book of Love' by The Magnetic Fields, in return Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic fields chose to cover 'Not One Of Us'. In the spirit of the project Peter is making his original version available to the wider world here on Real World Remixed.
Remixes of 'Not One Of Us' will be part of a competition - details of which we can't yet reveal.

Get stuck in at nature sites (From thisisoxfordshire)

Get stuck in at nature sites
1:00pm Thursday 19th December 2013 in News By Oliver Evans, Health reporter, also covering Kidlington and Banbury. Call me on 01865 425271
A WILDLIFE charity has struck a deal to work on Oxford nature sites in a bid to increase biodiversity and attract volunteers.
The Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wildlife Trust has won lottery funding to hold events and carry out conservation work at the sites.
They are Lye Valley in Headington, Rivermead Nature Park, Rose Hill and Chilswell Valley near South Hinksey.
All are owned and managed by Oxford City Council but the charity hopes extra manpower and expertise through the Wild Oxford project will attract visitors.
Project manager Andy Gunn said: "The aim is to bring the long-term management of the sites into a better state and leave a legacy of volunteering.
"The sites are managed well but with more capacity they could potentially be managed better."
Getting people involved in taking care of the sites is key, he said.
"The idea is to inspire people to get involved in that and hopefully pass that back to the council. It can then continue the work with that new volunteer force."
Conservation skills such as coppicing, hedgelaying and scything will be taught through the project, being organised with the Oxford University Museum of Natural History.
Work will include cutting back reeds to open up Lye Valley to make it feel less "isolated" for visitors, he said.
He said of Rivermead Nature Park in Rose Hill: "The idea is to make the site more attractive for local people.
"Some comments we have received say it isn't very open any more and some said it attracts antisocial behaviour."
The work is being funded with £54,800 from the Heritage Lottery Fund and £7,100 from TOE (Trust for Oxfordshire's Environment), which gives out cash from landfill tax credits.
City council executive board member for sport, parks and events, Mark Lygo, said: "This is an exciting project and I hope that our communities get involved."

Soft Structured Carriers
Babytrekker - Deluxe 5 position carrier
" I love my babytrekker. It's super comfy and once you figure it all out, I find it rather simple to use. My sons both seemed to feel comfortable in it and I was able to use it with my second boy from birth to a bit over 18 months with no issues. I'd have used it longer but I mostly use it to take walks and started letting him walk around with us a little after that and then I got preggo again..." --dayiscoming2006

" I don't have enough good things to say about this carrier, and I'm very sad that they're not being sold right now. My first experience with it was wearing a tester for hours at a conference with a heavy child on my back. Almost every other carrier I owned was causing shoulder pain, but the sculpted, shaped shoulder straps made shoulder pain nonexistent with this. Not only that, I'm a..." --jenrose

Budget hotel offers standard amenities and low rates to road-weary travelers. – In Short
Since 1946, this Phoenix, Ariz.-based hotel chain has provided guests with comfortable accommodations. Its BestRequests program offers 16 of the most frequently requested services and amenities, including complimentary in-room tea/coffeemakers, hair dryers, iron and ironing boards, free local calls less than 30 minutes and long-distance access. Complimentary toiletries, like toothpaste, razors and sewing kits, are also available upon request. Business travelers will enjoy the computer data ports in each room and photocopying services.
Worst Hotel Experience – This was the worst hotel I have stayed in in 15 years. There were ants in the room, the sliding glass door didn't close at the top and the busy street noise kept us up. The shower head was positioned for a 4 foot tall person and the sink faucet handle fell off in my hand. We were given two small towels for two adults (plus two hand towels and wash cloths to be fair). Not all the lights worked and there was a homeless man wandering around the parking lot and the hotel walkways so I didn't feel comfortable walking around at night with an infant. Customer service wasn't accomodating nor were they truthful. For $200 a night this hotel was extremely lacking. There are plenty of nice establishments in the area and for the same price.

Delta Hotels and Resorts unveiled its flagship hotel in Toronto's South Core neighbourhood during a topping off event, marking the completion of the hotel's 46th floor. Scheduled to open in late 2014, the Delta Toronto at Southcore Financial Centre will usher in the next generation of four-star full-service hotels for the Delta brand.
Delta Hotels and Resorts is in the midst of a major transformation to better serve Canadian and international travellers. Designed to exceed the evolving expectations of the modern traveller, the Delta Toronto will serve as the flagship brand standard for Delta's growing portfolio of hotels and resorts across Canada.
Ken Greene, President and CEO of Delta Hotels and Resorts, says, "The Delta Toronto is truly a unique hotel property in the Greater Toronto Area market. Toronto has not seen a purpose-built four-star full-service hotel in two decades. We are excited to bring our upscale hospitality experience, as well as our reputation for service excellence, to Toronto's newest neighbourhood."
The Delta Toronto features 567 oversized guest rooms with spectacular views of the lake, the downtown skyline and CN Tower. Guest rooms will be on average 400 square feet, exceeding the four-star luxury standard size. A number of rooms will also have spacious four-piece bathrooms with freestanding tubs and separate showers. Additionally, 16 luxurious extended-stay suites will be available for travellers in town for a longer period of time.
Designed with the latest in sustainable features and built according to LEED standards, the hotel will benefit from a number of innovative technologies including: heat recovery ventilation and low flow fixtures; smartcards controlling room lighting and air based on suite occupancy; green roofs throughout the building; and an urban forest which will create a unique green space with forested walkways and gardens.
Mansoor Kazerouni, Executive Vice President of Page + Steele / IBI Group Architects, says, "The building represents the best in global hospitality design and will contribute significantly to the enhancement of the urban landscape of the city, particularly Toronto's South Core. It embodies Delta's core values of community building, innovation and excellence, and will rapidly become an important part of the city's architectural identity as it assumes its prominent position in the skyline."
Strategically located, the Delta Toronto will connect people with Toronto's financial and entertainment districts through direct access to the PATH, Union Station and Metro Toronto Convention Centre. The hotel will also act a stepping stone to neighbouring cultural and sporting events, attractions and a revitalized waterfront.
David Whitaker, President and CEO of Tourism Toronto, explains, "The new Delta Toronto is right in the heart of Toronto's hottest new district – the South Core – that has quickly become a prime area for entertainment, sports, meetings and great hotels."
The hotel's ground floor will host a contemporary 230-seat restaurant featuring an 80-seat outdoor patio and bar with views of the surrounding South Core cityscape. The hotel will also include extensive health and wellness facilities including gym, yoga studio, steam room, whirlpool and indoor pool.
For social and corporate events, the Delta Toronto will offer 17,000 square feet of technologically advanced meeting and conference facilities as well as a 6,000 square foot ballroom with floor-to-ceiling windows. A 4,000 square foot terrace will also be available offering a premier outdoor event space with panoramic views.

2013 Is Off To A Great Start!
The kids are back at school and the list of projects have me all (excited) psyched!!!
Who doesn't love and need Memo Boards?
Metal is one of the biggest things in decorating right now, why not Metal Memo Boards?
I knew they would be the perfect addition to my new (in progress) home office. Now I can have fun decorating and displaying each week's projects. Who knows it may even change the way I feel about doing housework or not :)
So, I was lucky to find some metal memo boards online cheap and a great size. The first thing I did was cut out brown packing paper to the same size of the boards. It makes it easy to experiment where to put them.
For a good week the brown paper was taped up just like this. Nothing wrong with hanging the memo boards horizontal. Something was off I knew the memo boards needed some height. Vertical was the way to go to hang the memo boards after all.
I'm pleased I took my time in deciding where they should go. Less holes to fix!
Here I'm looking into the room from the foyer.
Also, if you want to make your own, you could just use a large old picture frame and mount a piece of metal from Home Depot or Lowes in the same place the glass would go. They also sell metal snips to cut it to the correct size. You could paint the metal or seal it with clear coat. Either way those small magnets from the craft store will hold all your important stuff perfectly.
Thanks for stopping by!
