Mar 14, 2008 GMTYours truly will be taking a few days off for spring break festivities that coincidentally coincide with Pi Day (3.14) and then Saint Patty's Day. If you are looking for something to do to celebrate Pi this weekend, check out the festivities at the Saint Louis Science Center. According to their website: "The Saint Louis Science Center is planning a "Celebration of Pi" on March 14-17, 2008 in honor of the mysterious and famous number Pi (Pi = 3.14).

Mar 13, 2008 GMTVideos and pictures from FOSDEM are popping up all over the place. Gabrielle Pantera's talk, "Tux with Shades, Linux In Hollywood," is one of many posted in our archives and it includes cool movie clips.
Mar 13, 2008 GMTThe concept of world control caught my eye, but then I realized I hadn't been invited to Control the World. I did, however, get an invite to an O'Reilly webinar presented by Carla Schroder: Control a World of Computers From Your Linux PC. "In this webinar, Carla Schroder, columnist, blogger, and author of the Linux Cookbook and Linux Networking Cookbook, covers the finer points of secure remote graphical administration from your Linux PC, showing how to run graphical applications, your favorite desktop, remote helpdesk, and even control a Windows machine from Linux. It's been said that any sysadmin would benefit from Carla Schroder's know-how. This is your chance to get it...
Mar 13, 2008 GMTIf you didn't have the chance to run right over to New Zealand for the Girl Geek Dinners Wellington, you can read all about it and see some pics over at Brenda Wallace's coffeegeeknz blog. (I really want to get my mitts on one of those Girl Geek Dinners keyrings, too.)
Mar 12, 2008 GMTLaura Scott wrote a great report about DrupalCon Boston 2008. She includes a bunch of photos of some of the women who attended and discusses the issue of their "visibility" in the open source community. Participation by women in Drupal is higher than average in the open source universe, but hasn't grown in the past year, either. Laura makes an interesting point about our education system, too: "Despite the fact that nearly every student will be working with computers in whatever field they enter, they likely will never have even one class where they study any sort of computer science or algorithm theory." She says that the leading women contributing to Drupal came...
Mar 07, 2008 GMTKristin Shoemaker posted "Flipping the Linux Switch: Linux gaming" over at Download Squad.

Mar 07, 2008 GMTYes, this is slightly off topic for this blog, but it caught my eye. A Miami University study indicates that girls like science and math better in the 4th grade than they do in the 8th grade. According to the study, the good news – if you can call it that – is that girls lose interest in subjects across the board and don't seem to single out math and science. But the even better news is that "as they become college students, some females regain their interest in sciences: At Miami's Oxford campus, there are more female majors than male in botany, microbiology and zoology."

Problems: no installation instructions, and the headrest covers were too small for a 2012 F-150 Supercab. After reviewing all the plastic push tabs around the rim, I decided to remove the rear seat (two hours to puzzle out, two minutes to actually do) and zig-zag through the tabs with baling twine for positive retention. Very happy with fit and finish (except headrests, for which I have a call in to the manufacturer). Sure my dogs will be happy, too.

So you'd think after the first baby that I'd have breastfeeding all figured out... :rolleyes: I must admit, it is a whole lot easier this time around. But I find myself worried about some things and I wanted to ask some advice.
So Micah sleeps. A lot. A whole lot. Last night he slept from 10pm to 5am. That's seven hours. I tried to wake him up at 12:30 to nurse, but he wouldn't. I tried again at 2:30, and he sucked twice, swallowed once, and fell back into a deep sleep I couldn't wake him from. He typically takes a 4-5 hour nap in the afternoons/evenings, which is almost impossible to wake him up from. Changing his diaper usually wakes him up just enough to half-heartedly nurse on one side. Often when I'm trying to correct his latch just a minute or so into nursing, he'll be so fast asleep I can't get him to nurse any more. Sometimes this happens before my milk lets down. But he does spend almost all his awake time nursing, so the sleepiness might not be a problem?
Also, my breasts lost that full feeling really early. I know that it's normal to lose the full feeling eventually, but everywhere I read it says around 6 weeks... not 10 days! So that's making me second-guess my milk supply, too. I was super engorged until we had our hospital stay (we were readmitted for two days because of his low body temperatures). We went for at least 12 hours where he hardly nursed at all (I had a hospital grade pump I was using to take care of the engorgement), and then it was back to his normal - lots of sleeping, and nursing constantly when he was awake. And by yesterday (two days after coming home from the hospital), I felt completely empty. He never nurses very vigorously, and while I do hear swallowing, it's not as much as I remember with DD.
I've always had a hard time telling how many wet diapers a baby has. What if there are two pees in one diaper? I tend to have babies who poop fairly frequently, so I just change diapers when they're soiled. So how can I tell how many wet diapers he's having? His poops are very different from DD's. Hers were never seedy, and it always seemed like there was a ton of poop. Micah's seem dryer, though that could be because they're so seedy, and they are much smaller in volume, though they're usually pretty close to quarter-sized. But if we're going just based on how many diapers I'm changing a day, he's riding just on the lower end of acceptable.
All of this makes me nervous about my supply... and yet at his appointment on Monday he had not only regained his birth weight, he was over a quarter pound above it. And I'm reading online that once a baby starts gaining weight on breastmilk, they usually don't start having problems out of the blue.
So... talk to me here. Am I worrying over nothing? I feel like I'm getting mixed signals here. Half the signs point to a baby who needs more milk, and the other half seem to say he's fine. What would you do?

The Art of Paul Pepera
Paul Pepera is an artist I have personally been inspired by ever since I came across his high poly vehicle designs. His attention to detail is commendable and the designs he works on are insane. He is currently working at 343 Industries but has previous work history at places such as id Software and TimeGate Studios.

Arts Ida
posted by January 4 at 10:00 AMon
Tonight, there will be many art openings in Pioneer Square. But there will also be a quieter event up here on the Hill at Martin-Zambito Fine Art, a small gallery that devotes itself to the relatively thankless but certainly worthwhile task of unearthing artists and artworks that have been lost to history, either by bigotry or simple happenstance paving-over.
Ida Abelman is this month's featured artist. Above is her 1930s-era print depicting a group of destitute Depression victims under that marvel of modern engineering, the Brooklyn Bridge. Her works often pit weary-looking workers against the hard-angled flash of industrial technology and design.
A good obituary is a great resource, and that's where I found most of the details of Abelman's life: her early encouragement by the critic Harold Rosenberg, her brother's devotion to Eugene V. Debs, her travels putting up murals in post offices around the country for the WPA, and the anti-Semitism she and her family experienced after they relocated from Greenwich Village to Sag Harbor in the 1940s.
According to an online history of Temple Adas Israel in Sag Harbor, where Abelman lived with her husband, Lawrence, her daughter, Margaret, and her son, Fred, the Abelmans were "proud non-believers." Lawrence was one of only four Jewish produce wholesalers in Sag Harbor during the '40s and '50s, and the family had a hard time fitting in, and getting by. After the WPA work dried up, Ida taught painting to vacationers in the summers. The rest of the year she caned chairs, refinished furniture, and took in sewing.
I wondered what her connection, if any, was to Seattle or the Northwest, until I saw listed in her obituary that her son, Fred, lives in Anacortes. Indeed, when I Google him, I come up with a phone number and address.
The Smithsonian American Art Museum has six Abelmans in its permanent collection, listed and pictured here. SAAM, and many other resources, including Abelman's obituary, list her year of birth as 1910. Martin-Zambito lists it as 1908. Amazingly, so do the online Suffolk County Death Records from Sag Harbor. Maybe Martin-Zambito corrected that bit of history, too.
I can't wait to see the rest of the show. Here's looking at you, Ida.

Don't look now, but it is becoming clear that not only do many scientists dispute the asserted global warming crisis, but these skeptical scientists may indeed form a scientific consensus.
Don't look now, but maybe a scientific consensus exists concerning global warming after all. Only 36 percent of geoscientists and engineers believe that humans are creating a global warming crisis, according to a survey reported in the peer-reviewed Organization Studies. By contrast, a strong majority of the 1,077 respondents believe that nature is the primary cause of recent global warming and/or that future global warming will not be a very serious problem.
The survey results show geoscientists (also known as earth scientists) and engineers hold similar views as meteorologists. Two recent surveys of meteorologists (summarized here and here) revealed similar skepticism of alarmist global warming claims.
According to the newly published survey of geoscientists and engineers, merely 36 percent of respondents fit the "Comply with Kyoto" model. The scientists in this group "express the strong belief that climate change is happening, that it is not a normal cycle of nature, and humans are the main or central cause."
The only people that still cling to the "human-caused" global warming HOAX are dumb, gullible kids.....and aging leftist government USEFUL IDIOTS.....lol

So just quietly invest your money in ski areas and snowboard manufacturers, and we'll all be happy. You should make a lot of money..

Could you Koch Bros. foot soldiers post your garbage on a relevant board? Next time I want to know what engineers think about the veracity of global warming I will ask.
Don't go away mad from the reality that your human caused climate change religion is a fraud.....just go away!.....like you're chief MAD HATTER barry hussein.......lol!
Sentiment: Sell
This post is a lie. There is no such report. Go to the home page of the American Meteorological Society. Click on a link entitled "Call for a Climate Summit" and you'll find the real position of the AMS on this issue in an open letter to President Obama dated February 8, 2013 calling for a national summit to devise strategies to combat the serious threat of climate change which the letter explicitly ties to greenhouse gas emissions.
Why people like maiturr, sstail etc continue to post easily -refuted lies is for them to answer. Just don't accept undocumented assertions from these guys because they are almost certainly untrue.
so bottom line is no matter how much science shows the man made global warming climate change garbage is just garbage...you will not be deterred in your ideology....very smart....very smart and intelligent indeed. You, Obama, mooooooschelle, should get along splendidly and be in charge of everything because you can ignore facts and do what is just plain good for us.
So you were incabapable of 'googling' the report on Forbes I just read. It's not a lie but it also does not mean the numbers mean much of anything. Considering you treat global warming with the same zeal evangelical christians treat the bible....well....your opinion just don't count no more son.
You might try reading the article on Forbes magazine and then calling them a liar...and the open letter was one of the idiot minority goons that want to keep the dream of man made climate change alive....like you.
One of the loons mantras is that lies are OK if they agree with your notions.
There is one other group.....the Profiteers. Elitists like algore, etc. and the "pure" government grant "scientists" that are fleecing the populace want to keep this fraud going as long as possible.
Sentiment: Sell
No doubt from the science department at Liberty University.
Nice try with the Saul Alinsky tactic, F-Stick. It was a Peer Reviewed Study by the American Meteorological Society (AMS). Must be a bee-ottch to watch your global warming religion being ripped to shreds......lol......Now crawl back into your commie hovel.

The Rubin Report #2 Sam Harris talks to Dave Rubin about politics, Islam, free will, psychedelics, meditation, AI and other topics.
Welcome to the End of My Patience
I hesitate to promote this interview, because it shows me at the end of my patience (and I stay there for 2 hours). However, I did manage to express almost everything I think about the "regressive Left" in general and about my least-honest critics in particular. I stand by everything I said here, but I'd like to apologize to the interviewer, Kyle Kulinski, for all the interruptions.—SH
Never Stop Lying How to Pass as a 'Moderate Muslim' in the Media
If you have ten minutes to spare, I recommend watching the above video, because it encapsulates better than most how difficult it is to even discuss the threat of political Islam.
The Limits of Discourse As Demonstrated by Sam Harris and Noam Chomsky
For decades, Noam Chomsky has been one of the most prominent critics of U.S. foreign policy, and the further left one travels along the political spectrum, the more one feels his influence. Although I agree with much of what Chomsky has said about the misuses of state power, I have long maintained that his political views, where the threat of global jihadism is concerned, produce dangerous delusions. In response, I have been much criticized by those who believe that I haven't given the great man his due.
Last week, I did my best to engineer a public conversation with Chomsky about the ethics of war, terrorism, state surveillance, and related topics. As readers of the following email exchange will discover, I failed. I've decided to publish this private correspondence, with Chomsky's permission, as a cautionary tale. Clearly, he and I have drawn different lessons from what was, unfortunately, an unpleasant and fruitless encounter. I will let readers draw lessons of their own.
The Young Turks Interview
I recently sat down with Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks to discuss my most controversial views about Islam, the war on terror, and related topics. It was, of necessity, a defensive performance on my part—more like a deposition than an ordinary conversation. Although it was a friendly exchange, there were times when Cenk appeared to be trying very hard to miss my point. Rather than rebut my actual views (or accept them), he often focused on how a misunderstanding of what I was saying could lead to bad outcomes—as though this were an argument against my views themselves. However, he did provide a forum in which we could have an unusually full discussion about difficult issues. I hope viewers find it useful.
Having now watched the full exchange, I feel the need to expand on a couple of points:
Can Liberalism Be Saved From Itself?
My recent collision with Ben Affleck on Bill Maher's show, Real Time, has provoked an extraordinary amount of controversy. It seems a postmortem is in order.
For those who haven't seen the show, most of what I write here won't make sense unless you watch my segment:
So what happened there?
Making Sense of Gaza A Conversation Between Sam Harris and Andrew Sullivan

Critic Reviews

- Publication
- By date
It is both sad and hopeful, but the film's sorrow and its optimism arise from its rarest and most thrilling quality, which is its deep and humane honesty.
In its unhurried fashion, Sugar can take its place with the best baseball movies. Where most focus on the grand slam, this one's about the life that surrounds the game and everything that comes after.
This one slice of the American experience amounts to one of the best films of the year.
Sugar is that sweetest of films: A sensitive and memorable story that surprises at every turn.
As the film plays out its melancholy story, we realize that what we are watching is far rarer than the usual sports flick.
A baseball movie, a stranger-in-a-strange-land movie, a movie about real people facing real challenges in the real world, Sugar is all that and more.
A moving, surprising and provocative baseball flick that rises immediately to No. 1 with a bullet on my personal list.
Algenis Perez Soto plays the character so openly, so naturally, that an interesting thing happens: Baseball is only the backdrop, not the subject. This is a wonderful film.
Sugar is a near-great movie with qualities more unusual than some all-time classics. It resists cliche at every turn and puts something solid in its place: raw yet controlled observation that gives the film the form of a flexing muscle.
The film's style is so ''objective'' it's a bit subdued, yet this is a sports drama of total originality, as well as the most authentic inside view of the immigrant experience the movies have given us in quite a while.
Instead of hitting all the usual beats, Sugar just moseys in a mostly delightful way.
Sympathetic, genial and exceedingly wholesome, it's a film that, once seen, will permanently and favorably influence the way viewers regard the characters' real-life counterparts.
Without a trace of didacticism, Boden and Fleck portray the insidious details of exploitation and hollow American maxims.
The most remarkable thing Sugar does is give American viewers a sense of how our country must seem to a newly arrived immigrant, without caricaturing or condescending to either guest or host.
As good as it is because of the care and skill writer-directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck bring to it, gifts that were visible in their first film, "Half Nelson," which earned a lead actor Oscar nomination for Ryan Gosling.
The filmmakers have mostly cast from Dominican playing fields rather than from acting studios -- Algenis Perez Soto, the accomplished first-time performer who plays Miguel Sugar Santos, was himself a teen ballplayer -- so game and practice sequences have an easy authenticity from the start.
This is a drama of shifting values and compromised ideals, arriving at a view of life that's wise, complicated, and tinged with melancholy.
A gripping look at the immigrant experience, with small moments as important - and visually arresting - as any on the baseball diamond.
Mainly, though, the film's strength is reportorial, sensitively exploring a theme that has grown ever more prominent with the globalization of sport.
The price of the production's integrity is a leisurely pace -- but it's a worthwhile one. Though Sugar demands patience, it deserves attention.
A thoughtful drama about guys who have a moment in the big time before returning home to an odd reflected glory.
Algenis Perez Soto was a baseball player in real life, which helps to explain his sensitive, understated performance as Sugar. But he's let down by a manipulative script recycled from dozens of sports and immigrant movies. At least it dispenses with a Hollywood ending.
Sugar is a curiosity – too somber for a picaresque, too arm's-length for much emotional effect – and while it's interesting, it's never truly absorbing.

(BERLIN) -- Outgrossing even ``Titanic'' in its native Greece and currently the most popular film ever released in that country from any source, ``Safe Sex'' is a local blockbuster.
Made independently, with no input from the Greek Film Center, backer of most quality Greek pics, the film is a most impressive achievement by any yardstick. Finding theatrical bookings in other territories may not be so easy, however, as sketchlike pic, which comically explores the sexual hang-ups of a cross-section of familiarly drawn characters, isn't especially original. There are, however, strong prospects for TV and video sales in many territories for this cheerfully slapdash, but really rather chaste, comic romp.
Writers-directors Thanassis Papathanassiou and Michalis Reppas bring a TV-scale sensibility to eight interconnected stories concerning sexually frustrated or voracious contemporary Athenians. ``Short Cuts'' approach is hit-and-miss but pays off in the protracted climax when most of the characters, seen separately till then, come together.
Gallery of types includes Costas, a middle-aged married man who gets a charge out of phone sex and who, one day, dials a wrong number and finds himself talking to Panayota, a dowdy middle-aged woman who quickly assumes the identity of the imaginary Dorothy, who's as sexy and beautiful as Panayota is plain and plump. Costas becomes enamored with the fictitious Dorothy. His wife, Georgia, meanwhile, is a TV soap addict, given to fantasies about her favorite actors.
Georgia's brother, Yannis, is a failed artist who lives with Anna, a successful ad agency exec; Anna's boss, Phedon, is a womanizer who likes to personally check out the bust sizes of models his company employs for ads. He also makes passes at his pretty secretary, though the erotic messages he sends her wind up in the computer of repressed, spinsterly Katy, who naturally thinks she's caught the boss's roving eye.
Yannis and Anna are friendly with their neighbors, Panos and Alexis, an apparently contented gay couple; they in turn spend time with Vera, a soap actress (featured in the show Georgia watches regularly) and her husband, Stathis, but there's a crisis when Alexis and Stathis have a fling. Then there's Anna's mother, Rena, who owns a private clinic and is extremely jealous of Apostolos, her younger husband, a surgeon.
The paths of these characters, and others, cross in the last half hour of the cheerfully chaotic film, in which, during a single night, partners swap and all manner of complications ensue.
One of the more amusing sequences involves the shooting of a commercial for a sunburn cream that is interrupted when the actor at the center of a group of lissome babes, all clad in swimwear, is deemed by the director to have too modest an appendage, whereupon a female assistant is dispatched to a porn shop to acquire a dildo to boost the actor's image - with predictable results.
Essentially, ``Safe Sex'' is an old-fashioned film, rather flatly directed and played. But it bubbles merrily along, accompanied by a lively soundtrack of popular songs, and - though far from original and certainly not the least bit explicit or generally erotic - succeeds on a frankly adolescent level of humor.
Technical credits are modest but adequate.

AerCap Making The Best Of A Good Situation

Jul. 13, 2015, 12:59 PM
- Top publicly traded aircraft leasing company AerCap (AER +1.9%) shares look cheap, trading at just 8x earnings, and shares could jump 35% as earnings beat estimates, according to a Barron's weekend analysis.
- A major AER asset is its big order book, largely inherited from ILFC; ~205 of the 368 planes on order are highly desirable Airbus A320neo and A321neo narrow-body planes, and another 60 in the order book are Boeing 787s, probably the best plane in Boeing's fleet; analysts also say AER gets high marks for both business and financial management.
- The article says AER may be undervalued because of an overhang from the sale a month ago by AIG of 71M shares, or about a third of total shares outstanding; there is concern about developing markets, where AER generates half of its revenue; and AER has a lot of debt - ~$30B, vs. $8B of equity - making it vulnerable to higher interest rates.

- "We view this as another step forward on the capital management plan," says FBR's Randy Binner, assuming AIG (AIG +1.6%) might use the proceeds (in the area of $2.4B) for an immediate buyback. He rates the stock an Outperform.
- AIG a few weeks back announced a $3.5B share repurchase plan.
- AerCap (AER +2%) is also on the move higher despite 50M shares of its stock hitting the market. Alongside the secondary, AerCap is buying back $750M of stock from AIG.

- To review, AIG is the owner of nearly 100M shares of AerCap (NYSE:AER) following its sale of ILFC in May 2014. AerCap's stock price has declined from about the $45 area at the time of the sale to $38 at the close on Friday, and Reuters reports the company is mulling repurchasing shares from AIG.

- AerCap (AER -2.7%) financed the cash portion of the purchase (closed yesterday) primarily with new debt issuance, significantly boosting leverage, says S&P's Betsy Snyder, downgrading the credit rating to BB+ from BBB- and removing the company from CreditWatch negative.
- "We expect the consolidated entity to generate solid cash flow and gradually decrease leverage following the merger, but we don't expect AerCap's debt leverage to return to previous levels for at least the next 18 to 24 months," she says.
- AIG is now the owner of nearly 100M shares of AerCap.
- Previously: AerCap rally means billions for AIG
Dec. 17, 2013, 3:23 PM
- AerCap's (AER +6.4%) gains today put the stock more than 40% higher since the deal with AIG was announced yesterday, and Deutsche's Michael Linenberg says there's more to come, reiterating his Buy rating and boosting the price target to $40 from $27.
- "We expect the deal to be accretive for AER shareholders on the onset, in light of the $600M of expected annual synergies and the attractive price at which the portfolio will be acquired,"says Linenberg. "Moreover, AerCap is inheriting ILFC's order book of 385 in-demand aircraft, which should lead to a strong/relatively predictable stream of CF/EPS for the foreseeable future."
- For AIG, the deal - at the moment - is less sale than a swap, as the insurer will be an owner of 46% of AER's common stock and will still include ILFC's operating results on its own books.
- Writing in Barron's, Dimitra Defotis, says the spotlight now turns to AIG's core financial operations, and that may not be a good thing based on last quarter's results. Yes, AIG trades at a discount to book, but with analysts not projecting earnings growth next year, that discount could be warranted.
- Maybe the most bullish case for AIG at the moment is the moonshot in AerCap may allow the insurer to unload its stake at a sweet price (the lockup agreements aren't yet known).
Dec. 16, 2013, 12:57 PM
- "Our preliminary conclusion is that we would lower AerCap's (AER +30.7%) corporate credit rating one notch to BB+ from BBB-," says S&P, putting the company on "CreditWatch with negative implications" due to the deal to buy ILFC (AIG +1.2%).
- The assumption of ILFC's debt, plus the debt to fund the acquisition, plus anticipated purchase accounting write-downs on ILFC's assets will push AerCap's debt-to-capital ratio to among the highest of eight aircraft leasing companies rated by S&P, says the agency. "We expect that the consolidated AerCap would generate solid cash flow and gradually de-lever following the merger, but would not restore its balance sheet for at least several years," says analyst Betsy Snyder.

- "Upon completion, the transaction will have a positive impact on [our] liquidity and credit profile and will enable us to continue to focus on our core insurance businesses," AIG CEO Robert Benmosche says, regarding the deal to sell ILFC to AerCap (AER).
- AER is paying ~$3B (net to AIG after loan settlements is ~$2.4B) in cash and issuing ~97.5M shares.
- AIG will own around 46% of AER's common shares as a result of the deal, and will thus "include ILFCs operating results in continuing operations."
- AIG is also providing a $1B revolver. (PR)
- AIG +2.8% premarket; AER +17.7% premarket
Dec. 12, 2013, 1:07 PM
- Moving nicely ahead in a bright red market is AIG (AIG +2.2%) which is now in talks to sell ILFC to AerCap Holdings (AER +4%), according to a Bloomberg report. "We never comment on rumors," says AerCap CEO Aengus Kelly when reached by telephone.
- Based in the Netherlands, AerCap - a former holding of Cerberus Capital - is the largest independent aircraft lessor with $15B in assets, and - recently reporting a debt/equity ratio of 2.5x - said it could increase the load to 3.5x-4x "if extremely attractive opportunities are found."
- Of course, AIG's effort to sell ILFC to a Chinese consortium for about $4.2B isn't formally dead, but the insurer is free to pursue other sales avenues.

Back-to-Back Beer at the 29th Annual Oregon Brewers Festival
by Christian Conahan
It's that time of year again – Oregon Brewers Festival is back celebrating its 29th year of back-to-back beer from…
Taste of Tulalip is the real start of the holiday season for me–a chance to simply enjoy some of the finest wines in the world, hailing from both far and near. The two-day celebration of wine is hosted at the Tulalip Resort Casino in Tulalip, Washington and serves as an opportunity to take stock of the world of wine and how the Northwest fits into it. With that in mind, here are some thoughts both on the event itself and the wines (and beers!) I tasted there-in.
In 1621, the first Thanksgiving and harvest blessing was shared in what is now the United States. Since then, the holiday has been about celebrating our roots, while uniting in our cultural values despite our individual differences.
In 1965, David Lett planted the first Pinot Noir vines in Willamette Valley.
Willamette Valley's ¡Salud! is exactly what you might think: a celebration and toast to good health. Of course, an effective toast calls for something to toast with, so naturally, the healthcare-devoted event takes place in the form of a Pinot Noir auction.
Oktoberfest isn't the only event that marks October as beer month. More than 90 craft beers have emerged in British Columbia and the goal is to celebrate each and every one. BC Craft Beer Month returns in its fifth year to cheers for 31 days of craft beer cask nights, tap takeovers and beer dinners, starting today with the launch at Central City Brewers in Surrey.
It's that time of year again—the 28th annual Oregon Brewers Festival returns to Portland's Waterfront Park for five days of brews, brews and more brews (and some food and music too)! While beers come in from around the world, particular interest and focus is given the beers coming from Oregon.
The Oregon Brewers Festival is noted throughout world as being one of the oldest craft beer fests across the nation.
For those of us that are not familiar with the holiday, Bastille Day, sometimes called French National Day, commemorates the beginning of the French Revolution with the July 14 storming of Bastille in 1789. Troops stormed through Bastille, which at the time was a medieval fortress and prison in Paris that was widely regarded as a symbol of being ruled under the hated Bourbon monarchy.
Grab your growlers and get ready Oregon, July first marks the beginning of the state wide 31-day beer extravaganza, Oregon Craft Beer Month, the 2015 edition. More than 450 events will host both brewers and consumers alike as the state overflows with some of the best beer that the Pacific Northwest has to offer.
The celebration will take over pubs, restaurants and breweries alike. Take a behind the scenes tour at Portland Brewing.
June is steadily creeping by and while this may be a bit scary, as time seems to steadily increase its pace with every year, it also means we just days away from the statewide extravaganza that is Oregon Cider Week. This is a week dedicated to celebrating all things cider, all throughout the state. As official sponsors of the event, along with our sister pub, CIDERCRAFT, we are here to guide you with our comprehensive list of recommended events taking place throughout the week.
June is finally upon us and we could not be more ready for it. Vacations are being planned, schools are being released (is that a good thing?) and fun times are just around the corner. However, sometimes it can be difficult to track down all the exciting things that will be happening over the next few months. There are so many events taking place that you might not know where to start. As always, we've got your covered.

Automotive Title Brands
What is a Title Brand?
Title brands tell potential customers whether a used vehicle has sustained damage or might be potentially unsafe to drive. Note that if a vehicle's title has been "branded," it is an official designation made by a state agency and should appear on the vehicle's title paperwork. Neither individuals nor private companies can brand titles.
While title brands vary by state, some of the most common ones include:
- Salvage
- Junk
- Totaled
- Lemon
- Flood
- Reconstructed
Not only do different states have their own specific set of title brands, but what might be considered a salvage title in one state may have a slightly different definition in another state. If you have questions about what title brands are used in your state, we recommend contacting your state's department of motor vehicles.
An AutoCheck vehicle history report is a valuable tool when trying to figure out whether a vehicle you want to purchase has a branded title. Within the report, you will be notified of any records that AutoCheck has in its database on whether or not a branded title has been issued on a specific vehicle.
Odometer Rollback Title Brand
You should know from the outset that detecting odometer rollback is very difficult if you are not a certified mechanic, mostly because anyone who commits the fraudulent act of rolling back an odometer to conceal actual mileage is aware of how to hide it.
Taking the vehicle to a mechanic for an inspection is a very good way to discover whether a vehicle's odometer has been rolled back. A good mechanic will know what signs to look for and can point them out over the course of the inspection.
Another step you can take is purchasing an AutoCheck vehicle history report. An AutoCheck vehicle history report will notify you if the vehicle has been reported as having a rolled-back odometer.
Some signs of whether a vehicle may have an odometer rollback problem include:
- Excessive wear in places such as gas and brake pedals, floor mats and seats
- Mismatched tires
- Missing screws around the dashboard or signs that the dashboard has been removed
- Mileage on vehicle and title don't match up
- Misaligned numbers on the odometer
Remember that these types of signs could be normal wear and tear on a vehicle, and none of them are a sure sign that the odometer has been compromised. However, if you notice any of these things, it would be a good idea to bring it to the attention of the mechanic doing your inspection.
Because mechanical wear and tear is more difficult to cover up because of the cost, your mechanic should be able to give you an idea on whether the mechanical wear and tear is consistent with the vehicle's mileage.
For more information on odometer rollback, please visit the Office of Odometer Fraud Investigations (a division of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).
Lemon Title Brand
It is common to call any car that has excessive mechanical problems a "lemon." However, you might not know that each state has its own standards (or "lemon laws") on what actually makes a vehicle a lemon. In fact, not all states even have lemon laws.
Generally speaking, if a certain element of a vehicle has malfunctioned several times while under warranty, and this malfunctioning element makes the car inoperable or unsafe to drive, such a vehicle could be branded by the state as a lemon on its title.
The key point is that the problem with the vehicle must be so severe as to make the vehicle a) undriveable or b) unsafe to drive. If your car is making a strange noise, but drives just fine, most likely your vehicle would not be classified as a lemon. If your car's brakes or headlights don't work or if the car cannot drive in reverse, those are more serious problems that would probably make the car a lemon.
Another key point is that the manufacturer be given a chance to repair the problem. If the vehicle continues to have the same problem (even after three or four attempts to repair it), the vehicle can be branded as a lemon. In addition, the problems must have occurred during the warranty period.
To find out if your vehicle is a lemon, purchase an AutoCheck vehicle history report. AutoCheck will note on your report if the vehicle has a lemon title.
It's important to remember that each state has its own lemon law. Your vehicle might be considered a lemon in one state but not considered a lemon in another state. Contact your state department of motor vehicles to learn more about the lemon laws in your state.
Salvage Title Brand
A salvage title is often issued by states when a vehicle is damaged and the cost to repair is significant (usually if it is over a certain percentage of fair market value). One way a vehicle may end up with a salvage title is when an insurance company declares a vehicle a total loss.
If the salvage vehicle is rebuilt, the "Salvage" title brand might be changed to a "Rebuilt Salvage." Usually such a change requires an inspection.
A problem often occurs when a salvaged and rebuilt vehicle is sold in another state. Because title brand definitions vary by state, sometimes a title brand will not transfer to the title in the new state, which means the title becomes "clean." Unscrupulous sellers can increase the sale price of rebuilt cars by "cleaning" or "washing" the titles by registering them in states where the title brands do not transfer.
To protect yourself from such hidden title brands, purchase an AutoCheck vehicle history report. AutoCheck receives title brand, registration and other important information over the life of the vehicle, regardless of where the vehicle is registered.
Even if a vehicle moves to another state that doesn't recognize certain brands, the AutoCheck vehicle history will still reflect all previously reported title brands.
Water Damage Title Brand
Hurricanes, thunderstorms and flash flooding are responsible for water damage on many vehicles each year in the United States. Don't think that because you live miles from a hurricane or flood zone that you won't encounter a water-damaged vehicle. It is common for vehicles to be moved thousands of miles before they are put up for sale. How can you be sure the vehicle you're about to purchase has not been involved in a natural disaster and sustained significant water damage?
Remember that it's always a good idea to have the vehicle examined by a certified mechanic before you purchase it. A trained mechanic will know what to look for when it comes to water damage.
You should also purchase an AutoCheck vehicle history report to make sure the title has not been branded with water damage at some point in its past. If the vehicle's title has been reported as branded with water damage, it will be on your report.
With that said, there are still a few things you can check for that may indicate whether the vehicle has sustained significant water damage:
- Does the vehicle have rust in spots that should have minimal contact with water (such as the dashboard or glove compartment)?
- Does the vehicle have a moldy or musty smell?
- Are the electrical parts (such as the air conditioner, windshield wipers, etc.) in good working order?
- Check the floorboard carpet for water residue or stain marks from evaporated water.
- Check for rust on screws in the console or other areas where the water would normally not reach unless submerged.
- Check for mud or grit in alternator crevices, behind wiring harnesses and around the small recesses of starter motors, power steering pumps and relays.
- Check the electrical wiring system, looking for rusted components, water residue or suspicious corrosion.
- Inspect the undercarriage of other components for evidence of rust and flaking metal that would not normally be associated with late-model vehicles.
By taking a few simple precautions, you can avoid a vehicle that has been damaged by water.

Cold fusion experiment
I have same video of this experiment on my youtube channe http://www.youtube.com/user/alessiof76
Almost all in Italian language.. but with a little explanation also in English
The power supply that i use and the experiments can be dangerous.. I would not like someone to dye !
If you put together a working model from scrap pieces and post up detailed instructions in how to accomplish this, i'd be interested in watching it. This sounds more like a fancy electrochemical process for making methanol though.
Still, Iron catalyzed syngas reactions are nifty, though graphite is an expensive energy source.
(You do know you're on a six year old thread, talking to a member who hasn't posted for nine months?)
How is this for explenation ?
Approved Mitsubishi LENR Patent using Lithium ... just so you learn something
Patents in the U.S. and Europe do not require working models or demonstrations, nor do they require any substantive scientific support. Therefore, the granting of a patent doesn't not provide any indication of scientific merit, except in the minds of the ignorant.
I exchanged emails a few years ago with a chap who had a UK patent for a faster-than-light spacecraft. It was an aluminium sphere, covered in diodes connected in series to a small stack of 9V batteries.
His caveat was that it would only work if it was launched into space and accelerated by rockets in the absence of a gravity field.
That's awesome! Pity he couldn't use the 9V's as launch fuel :-/
He was frustrating - he was old enough to only have learned Newtonian mechanics at school, and thought you could easily reach light-speed if you just went really fast, and then lit more rockets...
(I did lay eyes on the patent, but I've forgotten his real name, and now can't find it.)
Many information in english can be found on http://jlnlabs.online.fr/cfr/index.htm
I can advice some articles in English. That can explain cold fusion better than I am able
Italian research to August 2008 concerning the production of energy
Just do it , excellent Idea .
You can start with the simplest of all mentioned above .
The transmutation of 2 x C + 2 x O to Fe .
There is a Italian chap who did it , and the above guys are just your typical ignorant repeat (copy > past ) out of Books created by
Educated fools from uneducated schools .
All this is ancient knowledge , Greeks knew how to use these processes and it was well established .
Alchemy is , Biologicaltransmutation which is LENR .
But don't expect ignorant people to appreciate this , they ignore the facts of LIFE because .... "computer says nooooooooo "
Kervran a "renowned" french scientist ( they make him out to be some fringe scientist )
He was given access to ALL FACILITIES and professors from all over France & Europe assited & participated in his research .
He showed so many scientific experiments from other "renowned scientists" showing EVERY SINGLE TIME
WIth Mathematics backing it ( because all you have to do is add the mass of Atoms or substract )
people who like to use names like
Lithium Rain should also understand how Lithium works ; )
1 Li + 1 O = 2 x He !!!! which binds to C ... OOOOOO
Thats science and that is HOW MITSUBISHI got their Patent accepted
which Toyota confirmed .
So tell the above to shuv it ?!
i make you an example:
in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldr-g3TK3Hk Carbon
An electrode in steel wool, the other in graphite shielded Sheathed
self, just remove the electrode gas catch fire
solution of sodium bicarbonate 0.2 molar an electrode in steel wool dipped into the solution and an electrode in graphite isolated sheath with self-extinguishing the merger takes place within the solution, the graphite melts and binds with oxygen and hydrogen, all in surface and when the gas out the electrode product ignites
in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KfVR8tn7uc i fuse 2mm steel rod with less than 2 amp it is called The Asymmetrical Plasma Electrolysis if you see the in the video water dont boil but i steel fuse at 1435 C° if it was elecrtolysis i should obtain idrogen and oxigen and not fuse the cathode
Available for clarification
But it seems that the topic Cold Fusion not interest the forum
Ciao Alessio
from http://www.lenr-canr.org/ -->
LENR, Low Energy Nuclear Reactions, also known as Cold Fusion
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_fusion
Cold fusion (sometimes referred to as low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) studies or condensed matter nuclear science...
Electrode ,steel wool, graphite or steel rod and electricity do not make for a nuclear process. Don't waste any more time of your trying to convince me otherwise because it can't be done. That's a "save yourself the effort" comment rather than anything unkind
Just shut up , take 2 graphite pencils , attach them to a 12 V 10 amp battery .
Bring them close and let them arc and you have IRON !
Actully you create Nickle which decays to IRON
TADAAAA .. Thats LENR aka cold fusion for moorons !
Also been replicated in " perfect environment " with "perfectly pure elements"
So pure Carbon in distilled water
ALLLLLWAYS SAME RESULTS ! You get Iron out of NOTHING !
Actually it's simple Nuclear sience with the exception that Nuclear sience , as usual , is WRONG assuming the mass of 2 elements MUST BE EQUAL to individual mass combined .
NO , the difference in mass is there just calculate for yourself .
2 x C + 2 x O = Fe in mass and Nickle in Atomic Number , but as stated it decays to Fe .
This is emperical science NO NEED TO ARGUE .
thank you come again !
Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proof.
Where's yours ?
Thank you come again. Or just shove it.
Genuine cold fusion would interest me, the rest of the site, the rest of the scientific world and the Nobel prize committee- but I don't think this is fusion at all. Have you detected helium output or other elements that you didn't put in?
