This week, Dan Pearce, blogger of Single Dad Laughing fame, posted a piece called "Worthless women and the men who make them." (Dan, sorry about the title here. It was too clever to pass up. I don't know you and am not really assessing your worth—though I'm afraid I have to take you to the woodshed on some of your thoughts.)
In his post, Dan promised to offer some important things for readers to ponder. On that he delivered. Copiously. Pearce often has some great things to say, though I generally wish he would use about half the number of words to do it. (You may be wishing the same of me by the time I'm finished here.) I have unceremoniously macheted his piece and I now offer the Reader's Digest version (with ample commentary) to bring you up to speed, Readers.*
Dan begins by taking two paragraphs to tell his readers that he is about to say something really paradigm-shifting-ly awesome. Then in essence this:
Women are ugly, fat, bad mothers, wives and daughters. They are lousy cooks and poor housekeepers, they are fat… oh, wait—I already said that. They suck at singing, dancing, and speaking, and they are stupid too. They are weak and powerless. They're ugly, wait—I already said that. They are flawed, thoroughly physically flawed. They are too bitchy. They are too nice. They totally suck. They are worthless.
These are the things women say about themselves.
This blogger has some women in his life with some serious sh*t self-esteem issues and he should take a hard look at the feminine company he is keeping and encourage them to work therapy into their budgets and schedules. Dan asks us (the ladies) to "get real" and go through the list and tick off the ones we have said to ourselves since we got out of bed this morning.
So I did it. My check list:
- bad daughter (Though I didn't think of it until I read the list, I've got that one all sown up.)
- bad cook (I don't cook much at all anymore.)
- bad housekeeper (Like I care.)
- bad some other things that I criticize myself for even though they aren't on his list. (Therapy can be very handy.)
I'm pretty sure that men who are like Dan once was would have a much longer list of criticisms of me than I have of myself, which is basically his point.
Single Dad continues, "I'm not mad at you, ladies. I'm talking to the men. It's our fault."
Dan. Dude. (I can say that, he's only thirty.) Not all women derive their sense of self-worth from men. I hate to be so blunt, but that's a rather sexist assumption.
"We have destroyed the very beauty that women are." This, by deciding what is hot and what is not, by rigidly defining feminine perfection. "We declare it, and we do so with little care for the tender women standing beside us."
Is this guy trying to get laid here or what? My ex regularly sported a t-shirt which read, "Men of Quality Respect Women's Equality." At the same time he was surfing Asian porn and whacking-off in the carrels at the law library.
Pearce's basic idea: Men make women hate themselves.
(At least straight women whose sense of self-worth is entirely dependent upon male validation.)
Warning. Danger. Rant forthcoming: Feminism is about CHOICE, dammit. That's the thing. Those crazy seventies feminists had us thinking it was about hairy legs and doing men's jobs for men's pay in addition to our own terminally feminine domestic duties. Feminism isn't about hairy legs or men's jobs at all. It is about whatever we imagine it to be about. If a woman wants to stay home with her kids and it's a choice, it can be a feminist choice. If a woman wants to wear high heels and tight pants because it makes her feel sexy, that can be a feminist choice, too. Our mothers didn't fight for equality so that we could simply be confined in different roles. They fought for equality so we could choose whatever roles we wanted and they fought for equality so that we wouldn't have to derive our worth from, well… from men like Dan.
In Dan's version, women's worth still comes from men. It just comes from nice ones like him.
More of Single Dad's ideas:
Men don't have to explicitly state that they expect an idealized perfection, they telegraph it (by ogling babes).
Um, yeah. Pretty much. Dan is a well-intended gent, but also, such a pup. This is fundamentally about respect. In years past, I stayed with Ex, who mistreated me in the many of the same ways Pearce has described. It made me crazy and yes, it whittled away at my sense of self-worth. Ultimately, I learned that to be worth my own salt, I had to live my life without shallow, hollow love interests. Women need to have self-respect and as a result demand respect from the men in their lives. If your guy isn't the respecting sort, kick him to the friggin' curb, girls. That might be what it takes for him to have a revelation like Dan Pearce. If your man doesn't respect you, you can probably do better without him. Just sayin'
Dan's shared epiphany:
"It is not the impossibly air brushed females on magazine covers who are causing women to hold themselves against a standard of perfection. No, it's not that at all…."
"It is the men that stop and look at those magazines."
It's the men? It's not the women? It's not the women who buy the magazines and read them? (Disclosure: I have this months Vanity Fair with Marilyn Monroe on the cover on my bedside table and I picked through this month's Vogue cover to cover at the hairdresser's today.)
"And that simple, repeated act is how we constantly, and never-endingly declare to women that they are not good enough, and will never be good enough.
We stop, and we look.
And women notice."
Well, he certainly got that right. Most of us do notice. However, what our man Dan thinks women think is "what he is looking at is obviously what men want, and I must have that or men won't want me." What I think (as a woman, if you happen to be taking a survey) is, "rude, not worth my time," or "hot," or just "ewww," depending on the context. You see, Dan, women are complex creatures. We don't all of us have the very same thought every time we see a guy notice someone or something that they find attractive. Our feelings are both varied and nuanced.
Single Dad pleads: "Come on guys, let's give our "real" women a fighting chance." Stop watching porn.
Yes, Readers, stop watching porn. I think you should, really. I mean, if you do watch porn. Largely because it contributes to so much human misery. If there were fair trade porn, I might even be interested. Probably not, but maybe.
Women notice every negative thing we say that reflects unkindly on their gender and they think, "that is perfect, and I must be that or people won't want me".
What I think when a man says something derogatory about my gender is, "What an asshat. This guy is worth neither my time nor attention." Again, just sayin' It's really nice of Dan Pearce to take responsibility and all, and on behalf of his gender, but it leaves me thinking, "Is this guy wooing some sweet forward-thinking feminist hottie?" (I'm taking bets, Readers.)
Pearce takes responsibility for women's worthlessness on behalf of the royal male "we." He says that they (the royal male "we") blame the victims, (women). Women are admonished:
"Women, love yourselves…. Learn to love who you are. Realize that you aren't perfect and never will be. Realize that the women on magazine covers are fake."
That quote is nice, really nice. Possibly the best part of the whole piece. Realize it, and not because Dan Pearce said so or because any man or anyone says so, but because it's empirically true.
Dan goes on to admonish men to stop stopping, looking, fooling themselves, wanting women to live up to impossible ideals, stop indulging the fiction. (Which is a very good idea.)
"Let's instead stop and look at something else. Let's stop and look at the irrefutable beauty in the "real" women around us, just as men have for millennia. [sic] You see, it is only a recent phenomenon that "real" women no longer have the ability to be truly "beautiful" for the men of this world. It is only in recent history that women who have done everything they can to make themselves as attractive as they can, still feel ugly. Still feel imperfect. Still feel worthless."
Not all women feel worthless. We all probably have our insecurities, but that isn't the same as worthless. Some of us are actually pretty well aware of the dysfunctional interplay of society, culture, the media, and individuals on this issue. Some of us reject the B.S. that Dan Pearce has just had an epiphany about. Some of us have rejected it since he was in nursery school. Some of us aren't even interested in being "truly beautiful for the men of this world." Some of us are cool with feeling "truly beautiful" just for ourselves.
Laughing Dad admonished his brothers to appreciate wrinkles, saggy breasts, and "softness" also known as "fat." Men are supposed to "express … [their] excitement over the things that day in, and day out" women do selflessly. Tell women that their cooking is good and say nice things. You know, build 'em up. I'm really all for it, as long as it is sincere.
According to Single Dad Laughing, women think they are worth their weight in excrement and:
"It is because of us, guys. It is because we leave them with no other option. We stop. We look. We comment. We joke. We implant those very thoughts into their way of thinking. We make sure they know that we agree with everything the media has brainwashed us to believe beauty to be."
Because women have no thoughts other than those implanted and allowed by men. We have no thoughts of our own.
I admire that Dan Pearce is "taking a stand." He "will no longer be stopping." He "will no longer be looking." (I hope he's thought through the possibility that the occasional glance or raised eyebrow may also have been a periodic expression of his sexual potency.) Regardless, he will no longer engage in piggish, boorish behavior. He is trading in some of his sexist perceptions for political correctness. Why? Because he's a heterosexual guy who, frankly, was just finding that "real" women didn't make him hot anymore. It's true. Here's the quote:
"…I am a heterosexual man. And, as blunt and uncomfortable as this may seem, I realized recently that I am starting to lose my attraction to women. Over time, and after seeing enough of this concocted and concentrated hog wash surrounding me, I've almost completely lost my ability to truly want a "real" woman. Most of us have. We have somehow started wanting what we know we can never have. We want what we see on the cover of Cosmo and Maxim. We want what is displayed across calendars and centerfolds."
Wow. Admiration retracted. I really wish he hadn't shared that. (Almost as much as I wish I hadn't shared my advice on sex toys.) I don't know what "real" woman would want to mess in that. That is truly the mind set of a guy who is going to have a tough time getting laid, at least without paying for it. (Thus his epiphany and essay?) Oh, and fellas, he's speaking for you. "Most of us have." (That has not been my experience, but it could be that I'm running with the wrong crowd.)
Single Dad goes on to say that if men never stopped or looked, women wouldn't have "this problem." (The one that many of us don't have, but those who do —It's called MALE DEPENDENCY and with therapy, one can fully recover.)
"Women only feel a need to live up to a digital standard of beauty because men want it."
I contend that women have been more involved than men in establishing, validating, and perpetuating this "digital standard of beauty." I know that my exercises in vanity are more about the perspectives and opinions of other women than they are about men. Sorry to burst bubbles, but… um, the opinions of men just aren't that important on "girl stuff," and I am not talking about cute crafty sweatshirts with graphics of flowers and birdhouses like Dan's mother probably wears. I'm talking about good old fashioned shallow girl things like shoes and hair styles and lipstick. I'm pretty sure that most men aren't that sexually interested in the (I'm sure some would call it artfully) distorted rail-thin models in the Vogue spread this month. They certainly aren't Victoria's Secret sexy. (My god, one woman's legs are three quarters of the length of her body and her arms are as long as her legs should be. It's like they were shot through a fun house mirror.)
Single Dad apologizes and is turning over a new leaf. He's going to stop stopping and looking, but… he needs our help, gals. He needs us to assert our own worth and
"…to go back to a time before the Internet. Before Playboy Magazine and before Marilyn Monroe. A time before Vogue or Elle. A time when far fewer women hated their bodies. … a time when far fewer women felt worthless."
I'm sorry? …a time when women married too young, didn't have access to health care, education or employment, couldn't control their fertility or vote? …a time before tampons?
It gets worse:
"I think we need women to wear clothing that shows a little less instead of a little more. We need women to wear pants that are a little looser instead of a little tighter. We need women to put their boobs back inside of their shirts. I feel crazy even saying it (I'm a single guy for crying out loud), but maybe if women gave everybody a little less to compare, this whole thing would be a little easier for us all, no matter what our chromosomal make-up."
Where is my burqa? Women are responsible for the degenerate behavior of men? Keep those ankles covered, girls, lest you provoke a peek. We don't want Dan to fall off the feminist stop-stopping-stop-looking wagon!
Don't worry, fellas. Single Dad says you can still appreciate beauty, it just has to be the "real" McCoy, tennis-balls-in-a-sock breasts and all.
There is a post script which includes this telling passage:
"Men, imagine the power you carry in what you will say and do after you read this. Imagine the men of this world doing something truly noble to fix the lives and hearts of our women."
Men have the power to "fix the lives and hearts of our women." (Our women. All self-rescuing princesses are now gagging.) He adds, "Imagine the ability to see beauty everywhere we look." That, I'm all for.
I sent Pearce's essay to a friend who responded with his sense that women are, indeed, too hard on themselves. He also pointed out that "the stereotypical guy vice is ill-founded hubris." He suggested that women are doing more "self-appraisal," something which men should do rather than trying to "fix" women to be more like men. My friend also expressed his preference for the company of women because they are significantly "stronger on the introspection front, where for the same issues guys give the look that says "huh?""
To his credit, Single Dad got me thinking. He also invited readers to share, comment and, yes, blog about it. (Knuckle bump, Readers.) His piece has almost forty thousand 'likes' already and has been 'shared' eleven thousand times at this posting. He's touched a nerve here and ignited a cultural conversation that is long overdue. I've weighed in and so should you! (hint, hint.)
Oh, and Dan Pearce doesn't "use the word "boobs" all the time. Only when it's important." And that's awesome.
*Please note that unless in quotes, the words in block are mine giving the gist of the points made in Dan Pearce's essay.

Georgetown WHC Scholarship discontinued? - page 2
Does anyone know if Georgetown and WHC have discontinued their scholarship agreement? This is the scholarship where 80% of tuition is paid in exchange for three years at WHC post-grad. I know the terms were being renegotiated... Read More
- 0Feb 11, '13 by BRE5013Thank you for your response! One thing that I've been stressing about with the scholarship is not being able to necessarily get the job you might prefer at WHC after graduation. Do you know whether you can switch within those three years if a job you would have preferred becomes available or are you locked into wherever you get hired after graduation?
- 0Mar 1, '13 by ProfessorTBREE, have you received a scholarship application by e-mail? The Georgetown website mentions sending the application to us in mid-February, but I haven't received anything. I am also applying for the ABSN Fall 2013 program.
- 0Mar 1, '13 by ProfessorTSorry, I meant BRE!
- 0Jun 10, '13 by ambermulanThe Georgetown and WHC program has been discontinued for future classes probably related to sequestration and budget cuts. However, the hospital will complete it's commitment to current classes. You can switch units after you are hired, although there are certain criteria you have to meet before you can switch and you most likely won't be able to switch until a year and a half after you are hired. Furthermore, in order to switch, you will have to do a bridge program. If you do a bridge program i.e. bridge to ICU, ED, PACU, LD, NICU etc., this will add another year of commitment to WHC. So if you start off with floor nursing and switch to to ICU or NICU halfway through your commitment, you'll have a total of 4 years commitment to working for WHC because you can not fulfill work commitments concurrently. If you do the bridge program and leave before your commitment is up, then you will owe the hospital 5,000 leaving. If you don't plan on leaving or breaking your contract, then you have nothing to worry about. Just read your contract closely when they send it to you and make sure you agree to all the terms. Hope this helps.

More than 700 people turned out for the event.
Event organizer Owen March, said, "I think this turnout is awesome. I think these people are great. Everybody is more than willing to spend their money to help him. We've had some pretty big donations. Even the small donations, everything is appreciated."
All proceeds from Saturday's fundraiser are going towards a complete renovation of Jeff's house and to help offset some medical expenses.

Recently by Mark Sisson: How Ken Korg Got the Ball Rolling
Question: what does your body feel like right now? Go ahead. Take an inventory. From the toes to the head, what's going on in there at the present moment? How's your back? How's your stomach? Your head? How about muscles? Your energy level and mood? Is your thinking clear this morning? Good and bad, what signals are you getting? Beyond the here and now, what's your body been trying to tell you lately? Any changes since beginning the Challenge? Most important of all perhaps — are you accustomed to listening to what your body has to say?
Everything about our culture, it seems, discourages us from doing just that. From the commercials insisting we don't need to put up with that headache to the glorification of binge drinking, taking a body's hint isn't exactly at the top of most people's list of talents or priorities. Why live with that pesky fever when you can simply beat it back with 1000 milligrams of extra strength head-in-the-sand? Indigestion from eating that second Big Mac today? Try some Pepcid AC.
Think about it. People bring a kind of pride to pushing through the pain (and I'm not just talking about childbirth or weightlifting here). People go into work sick as dogs (my personal favorite). They knowingly ignore with the clear physiological effects of chronic stress. They eat a diet for much or all of their lifetime that leaves them sluggish and overweight. It's only when serious illness hits that we sit up and take notice. (Ironically, sometimes serious illness teaches us how to listen to our bodies, to discover how symptoms — however subtle — can be a crucial barometer for larger issues.) The body has — and shares — its own brand of wisdom. We'd do well to heed its cues before it smacks us over the head with a club.
Too often, of course, we surrender the power that comes from reading and knowing our bodies. We unthinkingly relinquish it to doctors and other practitioners, either because we genuinely believe that theirs is the only substantive opinion or because we don't really want to take responsibility for our health. Owning your well-being is an unofficial but essential Primal principle. Appreciating your ability to listen to your body's signals follows from it.
In yesterday's post, I wrote about the potential (and fun) of self-experimentation. You're your very own guinea pig. (Oh, the possibilities…) Ultimately, however, the crux of self-experimentation is self-assessment — physical assessment to be exact. A glucose monitor can be a handy tool. A heart rate monitor is a good gadget to have. A notebook and pen (or Word document) might be an even better set of instruments, however. (It all depends upon an open and perceptive mind of course.) I'll venture to say that your body will tell you in its own way what the machine displays. By all means, take advantage of technology, but use it to help hone your own perception. What does a certain heart rate feel like? What sensations creep up when your glucose hits a certain number?
What does a headache mean? A backache? What precipitates foggy thinking or acid reflux? What confers a sense of lightness after lunch or a good night's sleep? What choices seem to contribute to or prevent that infamous midafternoon slump?

There are a lot of potential scalable sources for renewable energy, but nothing got me more excited than these bacteria. I think it is the cartoonist in me that wants all the problems of the world to be solved by critters that eat garbage and poop oil.
I fantasize that someday the United States will hold a national lottery to see who gets to tell the president of Venezuela that we no longer need his oil. I think I would approach that conversation this way:
Me: "You know that oil you sell us?"
Chavez: "Si. What about it, Yankee devil?"
Me: "It's the life blood of your economy, isn't it?"
Chavez: "Si. What is your point, demon crud?"
Me: "Oil is the most valuable thing in your entire country, isn't it?"
Chavez: "Si. Where is this conversation going?"
Me: "We invented bugs that eat garbage and poop oil."
Chavez: "It will never work!"
Me: "You better hope so because I put some in your drink."
So I figure these bacteria will create all the oil we need for automobiles and jets, while the new mirror-based solar energy plants going up in the deserts will handle all of our future household and industrial energy needs. Maybe you toss in a few nuclear sites, and problem solved. Someday we'll look back and realize that oil at $140 was the best thing that ever happened.

A view of lower Rowland Heights from the hills
World Journal, International Daily News, Sing Tao, the Epoch Times, the China Press or the Zhong Guo Daily at a bus stop
Rowland Heights' location in the southeastern corner of the SGV was earlier part of the Mexican Rancho La Puente. In 1842, shortly before the Mexican-American War, the land was sold to John Rowland and William Workman. In 1868, they divided it and established the Workman Temple Homestead near what's now the corner of Gale and Nogales. Much of what became Rowland Heights was covered with hog lots and later orange groves until nearly a century later, when postwar prosperity, the extension of the 60 Freeway and a greater trend toward suburbanization led Angelenos eastward into the area.


text: Dear Colleagues, ORS is as busy as ever dealing with a constant flow of competition deadlines. SSHRC, Michael Smith, CIHR etc… ORS and sister administrative units have just survived a tri-agency monitoring visit. This used to be a difficult business years back when UBC was much less compliant with a good number of issues. However these visits have become much less stressful since deploying the RISe system. Now we have electronic integration of the various compliance (human and animal ethics) and biohazard certification, COI disclosure etc….so that we cannot set up research accounts until green lights come from all the compliance modules. RISe is also integrated with the HR and Finance systems again which provides tight assurance of compliance. The bad news is that ORS has not been able to continue processing grant applications with the 1 day internal deadline. The flow of last minute applications is just too great (often several hundred) to manage and in the age of zero tolerance if we miss anything in our administrative reviews of grants, the grant submission may well fail. We have been forced to increase the internal deadline to two full days (the U15 average is 3-7 days) and implement a $100 fine for proposals arriving after the 2 day deadline. Our VP (research and international) is carrying out a unit review of ORS consisting of a researcher survey and a series of interviews with various ORS clients (most importantly researchers) happening on March 27-28th. The review is being managed by Ann Campbell of the VPR office and involves Martha Crago (VPR at Dalhousie), Lorraine Deydey (Director of ORS at U of Alberta) and Ross McGillivray from UBC. Finally, if you have questions or concerns pleased contact me by email or phone. Sincerely, Martin Kirk PhD Director, ORS

The JMA-5100 radar series has a 10.4-inch high visibility TFT color LCD display, integrating the best features from JRC's popular radars into one, providing a superior operation and installation environment, matched with your needs. A worthy choice of quality and innovation that allows for safe and comfortable in navigation with a high performance rate, just as you would expect.
Designed for flexibility
The JMA-5100 radar series consist of a compact processor, dedicated keyboard, high visibility display and a high performance antenna, allowing for a flexible installation approach in confined spaces. The display can be positioned vertically and horizontally, and the choices for flush or bracket mounting, allowing for even more flexibility.
High operability
A dedicated jog-dial and trackball are conveniently integrated, allowing for simple and effective operation. JRC's intuitive menu allows you to easily select EBL and VRM, a few of the most common used navigation tools. With the trackball you can also capture MARPA targets effortlessly, and to simplify the navigation process even further, JRC incorporated 'direct-keys', making frequently used functions easy to find.
Developed exclusively by JRC, Target Enhancement Function, TEF™, allows target enhancement relative to the target size. The smaller echoes are far more enlarged, giving better on-screen identification, against comparative larger echoes, such as landmass.
GPS connectivity
The JRC JMA-5100 series allows connecting to navigation equipment, such as GPS, which provides on-screen the exact location of the ship (numerical value) or a mark on the waypoints. This will show the difference between the bearing of a waypoint and the ship's heading at a glance.
Flexible display operation
The JMA-5100 display is dimmable, allowing you to adjust your preference at once. The centre of the PPI can be scaled up to 90% of the maximum screen radius, which is 4 times the range compared to a conventional radar model.
The JMA-5100 radar series incorporates a highly reliable interfacing field. You can easily connect a wide range of equipment. Simply connect a GPS compass for direct input and the JMA-5100 series allows for NSK unit connectivity (option). Also a direct connection to a PC plotter is possible, allowing direct output to the PC, displaying Radar System Data (RSD), Tracked Target Message (TTM – possible with optional MARPA installation) and Own Ship Data (OSD). Also an optional second station allows you to fully control the antenna.
Displaying SART
GMDSS installations include one of more Search and Rescue Transponder (SART) devices, which are used to locate a survival craft or distressed vessels. The JRC JMA-5100 series is capable of picking up the SART signal, enabling an immediate response for search and rescue efforts.

Honeywell develops 'self-healing' HDMI cables
HDMI is the new standard for connecting HD devices to each other, delivering both picture and audio in one convenient cable. The only problem is that, since HD signals are so large and full of detail, the signal can get corrupted on the way there, especially over long distances, lowering the quality of the image.
Honeywell claims that they've developed a "self-healing" HDMI cable, one that can correct corrupted data automatically. It does this with LEDs built into the cable connector, acting as a quality monitor. Does it actually work? That's a good question, but if it does it should prove to be a popular accessory among those who dedicate large chunks of their income to their home theater setups.

Program/Project Management
The boom in ethanol and other biofuels may be a serious bust for the nation's existing pipeline network, new government research concludes.
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have found that ethanol—especially the bacteria sometimes found in it—can rapidly, dramatically degrade pipelines.
Ethanol's corrosion potential has been hotly debated even as U.S. production has continued to soar, topping 13 billion gallons in 2010. Ethanol and bacteria are known to cause corrosion, but this is the first study of their effects on fatigue cracking of pipeline steel.
The results, presented Aug. 1 at the Department of Defense Corrosion Conference, were significant.
'Substantial Increases'
"We have shown that ethanol fuel can increase the rate of fatigue crack growth in pipelines," said NIST postdoctoral researcher Jeffrey Sowards. "Substantial increases in crack growth rates were caused by the microbes. These are important data for pipeline engineers who want to safely and reliably transport ethanol fuel in repurposed oil and gas pipelines."
Sowards' team presented new experimental evidence that bacteria that feed on ethanol and produce acid boosted fatigue crack growth rates by at least 25 times the levels occurring in air alone.
Ethanol, an alcohol that can be made from corn, is widely used as a gasoline additive due to its oxygen content and octane rating. Ethanol also can be used as fuel by itself in modified engines. The NIST tests focused on fuel-grade ethanol.
2 Common Steels Tested
The team used a new biofuels test facility to evaluate fatigue-related cracking in two common pipeline steels immersed in ethanol mixtures, including simulated fuel-grade ethanol and an ethanol-water solution containing common bacteria, Acetobacter aceti.
The tests were performed on X52 and X70 pipeline steels, which are alloys of more than a dozen metals. Simulated fuel-grade ethanol significantly increased crack growth at stress intensity levels found in typical pipeline operating conditions, but not at low stress levels.
"The cracking is related to corrosion," NIST said. The X70 steel, finer-grained than X52, had lower rates of crack growth at all stress levels. This was expected because larger grain size generally reduces resistance to fatigue.
J.W. Sowards / NIST
In the bacteria-laden solutions, acid promoted crack growth at stress intensity levels found in typical pipeline operating conditions.
Biocide May Help
Preliminary tests also suggested that glutaraldehyde, a biocide used in oil and gas operations, may help control bacterial growth during ethanol transport.
The findings were the first from NIST's biofuels test facility, where material samples are installed in hydraulic test frames and subjected to load cycles while immersed in fuel inside a transparent polymer tank. Fatigue crack growth and other properties are observed over a period of up to 10 days.
NIST staff expects to continue and possibly expand the research to other potential biofuels such as butanol or biodiesel.
Collaborators at the Colorado School of Mines provided the bacteria, which were isolated from industrial ethanol storage tanks.
NIST is an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department. The ethanol research was also supported by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Coatings Sought for Engine Corrosion
Elsewhere, research is also underway to address the corrosive effects of biofuel blends on engines.
Biofuels contain high levels of water and oxygen that have a corrosive effect on engines. There have been fears that biofuels could cause damage on car engines.
A project called Equimotor Plus aims to develop better technology, including engine coatings, to reduce corrosion, friction and wear of engines working with alternative fuels and lubricants, reports EcoSeed.org, which reports on environmental news and renewable energy technology.
The project aims to market the new technology to countries where biofuel is seen as a viable solution, the report says.

Maybe we should revisit oil shale...The United States has the largest known deposits of oil shale in the world, according to the Bureau of Land Management and holds an estimated 2.175 trillion barrels of potentially recoverable oil. Oil shale does not actually contain oil, but a waxy oil precursor known as kerogen. There is no significant commercial production of oil from oil shale in the United States.
Comment from William Feliciano, (8/15/2011, 11:31 AM)
No surprise to me, given the headaches that ethanol blended fuel has caused to small engines e.g. boats, lawnmowers, trimmers, etc. Irresponsible to rush into such expanded uses of this ethanol without sufficient research. Too much $$ to be made i guess.

Review Of The Streetwise 3-in-1 Rechargeable Security Guard Flashlight Stun Baton
By Fabiola Castillo
If there is a flashlight baton that is comparable to the Maglite brand flashlight batons, it is the Streetwise 3-in-1 Rechargeable Security Guard. I have used flashlight batons over the years for home security and have found them to be not only durable, but also reliable.
The 3-in-1 Security Guard measures 15" in length and has a handle circumference of 4-1/2". The handle is made of aluminum with a non-slip grip. The lamp circumference measures 6-1/2" and is made of ABS plastic. Just like a Maglite flashlight baton, it is bigger in the light bulb end and tapers to the smaller circumferential size in the aluminum handle end. The light bulb is a halogen bulb which is several times brighter than a regular flashlight.
A Maglite flashlight baton can weigh as much as 24 oz. including batteries. With the Security Guard, however, you do not have to worry about weight since it weighs a very puny 9 oz. The cool thing about the Security Guard is that it already contains an integral rechargeable battery core. That means you do not have to spend hundreds of dollars a year on expensive alkaline batteries since this flashlight baton> already comes with a recharger cord that you can attach to the wall outlet. After your Security Guard flashlight baton is fully charged, it is ready for use.
Why is it called a 3-in-1?
The Security Guard flashlight baton contains three features.
Again, this is a combination unit compared to a Maglite flashlight which only shines light or a traditional stun gun which only has a stun feature.
Additionally, you have the added benefit of a personal alarm on this unit to scare off an assailant or to notify others at a distance that you are in danger.
What are the effects of the stun gun feature on the assailant?
What about accidental discharge?
There is a safety switch at the butt end of the aluminum handle. Just switch it on and a red LED on the handle tells you that the unit is on and ready for action. The three features of the Security Guard are only operable if the safety switch is in the "on" position. This prevents accidental discharge of your self defense baton.
Are your hands full? Not a problem, the Security Guard also comes with a carrying strap so that you can carry the baton with you like a purse or a tote bag.
This is a great self defense tool that you can use at home or keep in your car. For women who need added peace of mind, this is the stun gun baton that is perfect for home use.

CraftSanity On TV: A Potato Bag Tutorial For Microwaving Tasty Potatoes On The Fly
I love baked potatoes. But the potato setting on my microwave has failed me so many times, leaving me with shriveled and lifeless potatoes.
Thanks to a fellow Michigan crafter I've stopped shriveling potatoes. Gerri Nielsen gave me one of her fabric potato bags and I swear it's taken the frustration out of rapid potato baking. These fabric bags create a sort of a steam chamber for the potatoes that come out soft and tasty 4 to 8 minutes later. I've been so happy with the results that I whipped up a few more bags.
To make your own you will need cotton thread, two 11 x 24-inch pieces of cotton fabric and one piece of cotton quilt batting cut the same size. (I used a print for the outside and muslin for the inside.)
Step 1: Place your your interior fabric right side up. Place the outer fabric on top right side down, followed by the piece of batting. Pin the stack and sew around the perimeter leaving about a 4-inch opening on one of the 11-inch sides for turning.
Step 2: Turn right side out and press with iron. Top stitch across the short side to stitch the opening closed.
Step 3: With the right side facing up, fold the rectangle into the bag shape. First, fold the top down about 3 inches, then fold the other end of the rectangle up to meet the top edge, overlapping the edges by about a half inch. Pin and stitch along each long side.
Step 4: Turn right side out and you're ready to bake some potatoes.
Baking directions: Wash potatoes and wrap in the paper towel you use to dry them. Do NOT poke holes in the potatoes. Place the potatoes in the bag and microwave for 4 to 8 minutes. Check the potatoes every 2 minutes to be safe and do not leave them unattended.
Buy a potato bag: If you want a potato bag, but would rather not make one yourself. No problem. Gerri Nielsen will make you one for $10. Write her at 14426 U.S. Hwy. 45, Bruce Crossing, MI 49912-8704 to place your order.
Watch the video: Today's "Take Five" TV segment was a bit off the hook. Watch the clip to see me forge on with my demonstration of the making of a potato bag after I bust my sewing machine on live TV. Fun times, folks.

Great tutorial. I've been making these for a while now and thought I'd share a tip I use. I print the directions for use on Fusible Ink Jet Fabric Sheets, then iron them to the flap of the bag. I saw a site somewhere that had the directions on a piece of laminated cardstock to give with the bag – but – I knew the folks I was giving them to (mostly my graduating high school kids) would end up losing the instructions. With them sewn (I do sew around the patch) that isn't a problem.
By the way they make great graduation gifts. I've put together a little recipe booklet to go with it and sometimes I add a $5-$10 grocery store gift card. Perfect for the dorm.

Does it matter what kind of batting you use? It looks like you use a a thin almost wool like batting the thickness of felt. I have lots of thicker synthetic batting that's been kicking around. Would that work?
Comment from jennifer
Time: January 26, 2010, 6:26 pm
I used 100 percent cotton quilt batting. Gerri uses polyester batting. The key is to make a sample bag and test it out while carefully monitoring the baking process before making bags for all your relatives and friends. And you can bake the potato in 2-minute bursts just to be safe.

Comment from jennifer
Time: May 17, 2010, 6:07 pm
Hi Marie. I think the felt is the problem. I used cotton fabric for the interior and exterior and cotton batting inside. I've used the bag loads of times and never had a problem. Also keep in mind that every microwave is different, so you might want to make a new bag using cotton batting and cook the potatoes on shorter bursts. And to be safe, never leave it unattended. I hope this helps. – Jennifer

I just purchased a potato/vegetable microwave bag at a craft fair. I want to duplicate this because I love it and want to give to some friends. I does a great job on corn on the cob. The question I have is that this bag does not have batting it only uses to pieces of cotton sown together just as you did. How important is the batting?
Comment from jennifer
Time: August 7, 2010, 10:39 am
Hi Jill. If the bag you bought is working for you without batting, then by all means duplicate it without batting. I've never made one without batting, so I don't have any first-hand knowledge of what it's like to bake things without it. The key here is that it's working for you. This is a sign that the batting may be unnecessary. If you make some of the batting-free bags, consider posting a tutorial to enlighten the rest of us who have always thought we needed to use batting.

Comment from Shirley

I made a couple of these and used polyester batting..they seemed to schorched. So, I am making some for Christmas presents using 100% cotton fabric and batting. I just tested one and it schorched as well. I left in in the microwave for 4 minutes. Perhaps that was too long. I was wondering if it was the polyester thread??

I made 2 of these bags with cotton fabric and cotton batting, i was baking a potatoe and the bag scorched and was smoking, i cooked it for 3 mins and then put it back on for 2 more and i smelled the bag and had to get it out of the microwave and run it under water? I think i used polyester thread, am wondering if that was the difference? Thanks

I just made this.. and yes the fabric is Very Thick. When my machine seemed to have a difficult time with the thickness, I manually turned the hand wheel and gently pulled the fabric through. I especially had to do this where the bag overlaps at the top. It took a little more time, but saved my machine and needle.
I used 100% cotton thread, and 100% Cotton Batting(warm tator batting). This type of batting is made for this project.

Hi, I just found this website. I made a bag and it turned out great. I generally quilt so I have cotton batting on hand. My question is do I need to wash fabric first? I prefer not to when I can. What do you think?
Comment from Cas

I made this bag from a friends directions, but I had to refer to your wonderful video which showed me what the directions had tried to say. Thanks for the video.
I did not wash the fabric first, I washed it after everything was sewn and before baking a potato, it worked just fine, the fabric and batting shrunk about the same.
I made sure when I bought the fabric and the batting that everything was 100% cotton and not just mostly cotton. There were two types of batting that were 100% cotton and two that I thought were, but after carefully examining the tags, I realized that they had some polyester in them.
I did use cotton thread too. I microwaved for 12 minutes total at 4 minute intervals to check the potato for it to be done.
My potato turned out perfect. No scorching at all.

Please beware of using anything but cotton materials for these. I have a friend who has sold these at craft shows for years. She used to use polyester batting, and cloth that was cotton blend. She had customers calling her because the bags had caught on fire while baking. It was random, and might have depended on the microwave being used. Once she switched to 100% cotton batting and cloth, the problem stopped.

Never use anything but cotton in the microwave, including the thread. However, I have a very powerful microwave, put mine on 5 minutes and it did catch fire!! So do not go over the 4 minute recommendation! As for the papertowel, if is going to catch fire, that is just going to make it worse! Thanks, Pamie G.

WARNING!!!! Do not use regular batting. It has the potential to catch fire. There have been a lot of instances of fire in the microwave. There is a special heat resistant batting made especially for bake potato bakers. You wouldn't want to give one as a gift and burn someones house down.

Also, check the size of your microwave. You don't want the bag touching the sides of the microwave. If you don't have a turn table you need to flip the bag over about half way thru cooking time.

My friend gave me a large potato bag with instructions. I have used it for corn on the cob and accorn squash. It works GREAT on both. The squash I cut in half and removed the seeds, put it back together and wrapped paper toweling around it,placed it in the bag and microwave for 3 min. then flipped the bag and cook another 3 min.For corn,peel husk back, run under cold water.Put the husk back over the corn, make sure you have it tight on the cob. Put in bag and cook 6 min. Again 3 min. and flip it. The silk will remove real easy. I do have a turn table in my microwave but I still flip it.

I purchased a potato bag in Panama City when we used to be snowbirds from the Toronto area, and have used it for 10 years with great results. I have finally made one from your instructions, which I appreciate very much. However, after reading all the comments from fellow crafters, I am a little sceptical about its usefulness as I used Polyester thread and a blended cottom for the outside and batting that I bought to make oven gloves which is very thick and cumbersome to work with. I shall use it very carefully, 2 minutes at a time.
Thank you all.

Comment from NO POLYESTER
Time: February 8, 2013, 10:27 pm
Do not use polyester in the microwave; not even blended cotton poly's, and also not thread. And here's why. Do you know what polyester is? It is plastic. Do you put plastic in your microwave? No. Why? It melts. If it doesn't catch fire, it leeches into your food. Science has finally caught up with common sense, recently, and publicized that some plastics and other chemicals can cause cancer when ingested or rubbed into the skin.
Your polyester clothing and blankets are fine. Just don't be eating them, lol!
You also want to make sure not to use cotton that's been made fire retardant by chemicals. These will leech into your food as well. Certain weaving processes (such as being denser so as to not allow so much hot air between threads) can make some cottons less prone to fire than others, and that is your best bet. Some batting companies are taking small swatches of their denser cottons and marketing that as 'potato' batting. Use that. It'll be a little more per ounce for shipping and packaging, versus getting huge blanket-sized batting, but that's worth it for when just starting out.

I bought all cotton material, thread and batting. I was going to make these for Christmas presents for my senior choir at church. I gave one to my daughter-in-law first and hers caught fire in the microwave. She put one potato in the bag and set the time for 3.5 minutes. The bag is black and disintegrated at the corner. I'm glad she tried the bag and gave me a heads-up before I gave these out as gifts. I think I will make pot holders instead.

I think I have figured the "fire thing' out. I have two homes and two very different microwave ovens. My potato bags are identical and one scorched and the other one has not. It is the power of the microwave. I have learned to cook in short bursts in the more powerful oven. I cook in two minute intervals, turn, and cook two more times, usually for eight minutes total. In the older oven I cook for four minutes, turn and cook for the remainder of time needed to cook.

One more comment. I used cotton fabric, thread and the tater battering from Joann Fabrics. I did turn it after two minutes and it took about 5 minutes for the potato. No problem with scorching. My microwave is new and I think the wattage is 1000. My bag is small. I used 9 " by 21″. Second bag will be bigger. I could not figure out where to place embroidery and was worried if I did not use all cotton thread. I guess I posted more than one comment

When making the potato bags you HAVE to use 100% cotton fabric, batting and thread. Double check and read the bag the batting comes in. It will say cotton batting on the front but the back says it also has a percentage of polyester in it. I have made many many of these bags over the years and have learned from experience. Some have scorched and some have caught fire. They are not to be used in a microwave that is over 1100 watts either. Just be careful. Made properly, they make the best baked potato and the bag keeps your potato hot until ready to eat.

Things I have learned from this site and other sites.
Fabric, thread, and battering must be 100% cotton. NO scrimb in the battering. No blends in the thread or fabric. Battering must say it is microwave safe or go on that company's web site or phone the company for their input.
Bake at 2 min intervals and check the bag for signs of fire. NEVER MORE THAN 2 MIN. INTERVALS. Turn half way thought the baking process, even with a turn table. Rest between uses so the bag does not overheat. Do not touch the side of the microwave with the bag.
Must wash the bag before first use. Sizing can cause the fire. Always use a clean bag and microwave. Wrap the potato in a damp paper towel. Do not leave unattended. If testing the bag in the microwave, a food item must be included or the empty bag could catch fire.
Each microwave is different. Some have higher wattage which changes the bag's directions. Baking time is different with the age, wattage, turntable, no turntable, etc. of the microwave.
Have I missed anything?

I have only few loops popping since the last 15 days, on the back and on the top of my head [that look a lot like "pig tails", but i find them cute], and the rest of my hair are just these firm sections [far from hard, or knotted/looped, but even the strongest water…Continue

So I am starting my first ever set of dreads :) So far I am LOVING IT. I had a few twist and rips at the nape of my neck but took them out because I wanted it to be an even steven playing field all across my head.
So anyways, I have watched a ton of videos on youtube about other's dreadlock journeys but not many have strait hair like I…Continue

seriously so giddy i really was considering climbing the roof to be able to shout from it.
It was born 3 days ago when the tips of that section were stuck together but the body seemed like two distinctly different pieces. I had counted my…Continue

Last night i went through my head in the dark by touch & separated for my first time (6.5 months & my first time separating!!!) I counted about 207 baby dreadies (give or take, it was dark & hard to keep count & sort through so much hair! I have A LOT). I was worried about variation in sizes on them, I didn't mind them not being the same but i feared huge differences & wanted to keep them in a close range without caring about being exact. Well forget that.
As I…Continue

Not really anything new to report. My sections are pretty defined, they are getting kinda wavy & i know they are knotting slightly but I don't have any loops or knots that a camera captures so nothing to show off & brag about yet. Soon. I love my hair. It's gotten frizzy & poofy & I really feel like it's a lions mane some days. The wavy underbits are lovely.
I'm having fun wrapping different sections adding some color & charms here & there. At the top of the…Continue
I guess I'd better write something, rather than just lurking around!
Here's my natural/neglect experience so far - pictures are already in my albums, and I'll look at how to post them here for future entries. I stopped brushing in the second week of July, and have been washing every 3 days with BS and using ACV with EO or tea rinses. I had been no-poo for maybe 6 months already, so my hair was pretty healthy, shiny and tangle-free to start with...
Progress has been stop and…Continue

A neglected baby, that sounds terrible! But it is wonderful and exciting and unexpected at the same time. Here it is:
I had given up on this hair ever dreading. I T&R'd several times and every time it came undone. I tried backcombing with the same result. I put a rubber band around it in the hope that…Continue

On July 6, 2012 I threw away my brush. I have grown very fond of the look of natural, freeform dreads and I have decided to take the plunge. On my third day of no brushing, no conditioner, and the least amount of shampoo possible, I'm feeling some knots form in my hair. It's nothing seious yet, but my hair doesn't have the smooth, silky feeling it usually does. For once, I'm excited about this!
Yesterday, I was running some errands and decided that I would pick up…Continue
