Can garbage be used as an eco-material to construct a house? That's the intriguing premise behind the recently-completed Waste House project, which is believed by those involved to be the first permanent British building built almost solely from waste and recycled materials. Constructed at the University of Brighton's Grand Parade campus, the Waste House is an ongoing experiment which aims to prove, in the organizer's own words, that "there is no such thing as waste, just stuff in the wrong place."

Karton offers recycled cardboard creations for home furniture
It's generally only when its time to pack up and move house that the typical homeowner encounters large quantities of cardboard. In bicycle helmets and vacuum cleaners, however, we have seen some innovative applications for the material beyond its use as lightweight and durable packaging. Karton, a cardboard furniture company offering everything from beds to room dividers, takes a similar approach, yet aims to go beyond the novel and make its paper constructions a charming and practical part of your living solution.

New wrapping paper can be used to grow vegetables
As the holiday season gets into full swing, one inevitable byproduct of the widespread cheer will be masses of waste wrapping paper. One interesting idea to reduce this comes via Eden's Paper, which is billed as a "100 percent plantable wrapping paper," and can be used to grow vegetables by simply placing the paper into some soil, adding water, and waiting for nature to do its thing.

WoW Moviewatch: Gimme Sympathy
A gnome-loving friend of mine dropped me a hint about this music video. Kamansus has created a fun little video called Gimme Sympathy, and it's about four minutes of unbridled cute and joy. You just have to call it a win any time you get to go on a world tour, guided each step of the way by a pink-hair gnome.
I don't know much about Metric, the band who created the song, but Kamansus did a great job for a first music video. The locations and general theme of the video seemed spot on, even if something the graphic work could use a slight nudge to get the synching just right.
It was a fun video, and I hope Kamansus keeps working on new stuff. I'd like to see what's next for the creator.

In the Final Frame
Provide clear sound in a very high ambient noise environment without leaking unwanted sound into adjacent areas.
Allen started using the music network after Jackson and her team finished the installation, so they were called back to connect it after the project was complete. "Originally, we started with the CD player, and they were really pleased with the sound," says Jackson. "When we hooked up the one from the computer, the sound was OK, but it wasn't near as good as from the CD player." Ironically, they were given an opportunity to improve the audio quality when the computer's sound card failed a few days later; and a new sound card had the same result. Jackson's solution was to add a standard high-to-low impedance line-matching transformer to the computer's audio signal. "It just really improved it 100 percent," she says.

The Instax is not an all weather machine. If things get hot enough, it shuts down.
I'd thought I'd lost the camera. After taking four photos, I turned it on for its fifth and found the camera buzzing and blinking. With temperatures in the mid thirties Celsius, the battery on my Instax didn't just give up the ghost — it became a zombie that flailed its lens and beeped incessantly.
At first, I thought it had been my sweat dripping into the camera. That still might be the case, but I have since taken the camera out and had the same thing happen with no ill effect, albeit at a cooler temperature.
I was sad and thought that the camera was lost. But I kept my head, loaded a new roll after it had had a week to recover, and it was back to taking the fine lo-fi images for which I had come to love it.
The Instax doesn't like hot weather.

Hi, I'm doing a kitchen remodel and have an opportunity to buy a Wolf AG R366 floor model for about 4k (NOT a live demo model). Anyone have experience with the R366? Is this a pretty good price for this in your opinion? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
That would be a very good price. Search this forum for that range and you'll have plenty to read but, in general, it is highly regarded. Plus, that model (and it's 'open burner' design) have been discontinued. That is a bonus for some consumers as they find the 'old style' preferable. I was fortunate to find (and just purchased) it's little brother, the R304, but don't have any direct experience with it, yet. Also, Wolf will honor the 2 year warranty despite it's floor model status which is great, IMO. |
Take it! Despite getting caught up in the burner issue conundrum early on (2007-08), we very much like our "old-style" 6-burner AG Wolf, and if we are able to, plan to take ours with us if we ever have to move. Our range needed a few other repairs over the years, but they were taken care of/covered by the extended warranty provided by Wolf. |
We bought the R304 (30" version) as a floor model in February and really like it. In fact, if I were you I'd snap this up because we were an at appliance store earlier this week and saw the newer non-open burner replacement. We both commented that we wouldn't purchase that. |

Get it! It's an awesome stove and Wolf's customer service is pretty awesome, too. I got my floor model for 25% off, but then had to spend another $200 on the riser. If the floor model you are looking at has a riser, they may throw that in on the deal. If your price is 20 - 25% off retail, I think you're good. If not, they will likeley negotiate on the price. |
have been cookiing on one (with grill) siince '04. as above posters, prefer the older style burners. Only drawback would be newer, hotter burners on Culilnarian and Bluestar, but with a few modifications to the grates for our woks work fine have become very used to it and like it. It is so sturdy I'm not sure how you could damage one. |
Thanks for the replies. I should add that I am a first-time poster so a few more details would have been helpful: 1. I'm on a budget and of course with all things added, I am already a bit over what I wanted to spend (and that's with me doing a lot of the work). However, a 36" is going in no matter what and although I like the capitol, bluestar, etc., the price tag eliminates those options. 2. To make things interesting, the previous owners of the house left a chambers stove. Now, I love things like this. They just don't make anything to last anymore. However, it needs a little work and I don't think it's going to go with the cabinets, etc. I'm putting in. That said, I appreciate classic pieces like this and will either hold on to it or sell it to a good home. Th Wolf seemed to be a good deal and since it is a discontinued model, I think I'm going to jump on it. |
Yay! You will enjoy using it! |
Posted by jellytoast Get it! It's an awesome stove and Wolf's customer service is pretty awesome, too. - Unfortunately, it is not what it used to be. They no longer will back their appliances like you read about on previous postings. The expectations from their advertising that your appliance will last for decades is no longer a reality from my experience. I have related my positive experiences with Wolf tied to performance for years on this forum but no longer can recommend Wolf because of their failure to fully stand behind their product on a known structural issue, the enamel surface of the oven interior. I am considering junking my range which is less than 5 years old and mainly used as a secondary oven because the complicated structural repair is costly, and total amount unknown. After haggling, they will supply the part and portion of labor but I am stuck with the lion's share+ the open ended part. Others on this forum with the same issue have had repeated failures, so I am not anxious to put good money after bad. |

wekick, I can only refer to my own experience with Wolf's customer service department and I was treated very well. WAY better than any other appliance company I'd done business with. I had some issue with my burners and they were very patient and persistent until the problem was solved. They were also good about returning my phone calls and following up to make sure I was satisfied. I do feel they should get credit for that. Plus, I really liked the service company they used. I am still under warranty and maybe that makes a difference, but I am quite used to calling appliance companies for warranty service and hearing the same thing over and over again ... "that's normal, that's normal, that's normal." I swear sometimes I think they could walk in the door and see the appliance in flames and they would say, "that's normal." It is a shame that you haven't had the same experience. Don't they kind of make a big deal about their fancy cobalt blue interior? You would think they'd want that to be right if they are going to use it as a selling point. My oven's interior is black, and I'm thrilled with its form and function. |
Posted by jellytoast I am still under warranty and maybe that makes a difference, but I am quite used to calling appliance companies for warranty service and hearing the same thing over and over again ... "that's normal, that's normal, that's normal." I swear sometimes I think they could walk in the door and see the appliance in flames and they would say, "that's normal." Interestingly, they tried to tell me my issue was normal. They said that crazing of enamel is normal. I don't believe that because with continued crazing and breaks in the surface, it progresses and you start losing tiny shards of glass. you may notice that the pattern of damage follows a linear pattern of the crazing. I sent pictures of the bare metal. My range is not technically under warranty but by saying on their advertising you can expect decades of service, there is an implied time frame of usability. This is not something anybody would expect to pay for in the time frame THEY laid out. If you read what happened to others with this issue, out of warranty, they did make it right, even with appliances in my age range. I'm just putting this on here because it does seem to be a change in the way they do things, in particular when appliances are out of warranty. I am being asked to reinvest at a much higher open ended level than previous customers who have posted here. Also, anyone with this blue enamel might want to keep a very close eye on it. My problem did not happen over night and with the oven that low you are not as likely to notice unless you make a point of looking. Don't they kind of make a big deal about their fancy cobalt blue interior? You would think they'd want that to be right if they are going to use it as a selling point. Yes they do, sort of their signature. If I could get a liner that was not blue, I would be a little more inclined to keep the range. |
Good to know. I swear it seems that this statement is common with almost everything today "it's not what it used to be". |
Whats the "Latest" with the Elux oven porcelain problem, Wekick? Gary |
7jx7: I hope you jump on the deal, because that's an excellent price. I was offered a floor model and it was not discounted that low. |
Posted by dodge59 Whats the "Latest" with the Elux oven porcelain problem, Wekick? Gary The extended warranty is changing the liner. The appliance company has closed in our area and does their own work but are paying for another company (my choice) to do the work. Electrolux will do nothing, as expected but actually potentially could have cost me needless expense and would not even tell me if the liner could be replaced. When I got the Elux initially, the enamel was flaking off and they replaced it immediately and the guy told me the liner couldn't be replaced and the porcelain was supposed to be fixed on the new one. When I called Elux to ask if it could be replaced, one person told me it could not be replaced and another told me it could but they said I had to pay for a service call to find out for sure as I could not talk to the tech department.. The service company came out and gave me a fixed price and the labor is a fraction of what the other company gives as a starting point for the Wolf. It is a complete tear down as well. I did not have an extended warranty on the Wolf because the salesman(same as for Elux) told me I would never need it for the Wolf as they stand behind the product so well. Ha! I wanted warranties on both for the electronics but the problems turned out to be in the physical materials. |
gooster: yep, I ended up taking it. Probably the best price I'm going to see for a 36". |

Man Who Issued Securities For Bitcoins Settles With SEC
Soulskill posted about 8 months ago | from the if-it's-not-money,-it's-close-enough-for-government-work dept.
56MrBingoBoingo writes with news that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has settled federal civil charges with Erik Voorhees, a man who sold shares of two businesses in exchange for Bitcoins without registering them. Voorhees must make restitution for the $15,000 in profit he made, plus interest, and a $35,000 fine. Here's the SEC's filing (PDF). "The agreement reflects an expanded effort by U.S. regulators to cast a wider net over the burgeoning bitcoin economy. It comes as investor enthusiasm grows for direct offerings of shares by new bitcoin-focused ventures over bitcoin's global computer network. Maidsafe, a system for sharing computer memory, raised $7 million last month in such a deal."

Hi Donald, I really don't have an answer for you but since no one has responded (I know how it feels, nobodys responded to mine either) I thought I would tell you that I also have a box of magnolia pods (I have 2 magnolia trees) and I intend to use them in large wreaths. I'll probably spray some of them and use them in Christmas wreaths. They're much too pretty to go into the compost pile! Some people would probably like to just put them into bowls for decoration, like we do with pine cones and pretty decorative balls. If I think of anything else, I'll let you know. Gay |
Donald and Gay, This southern transplant would love to have some magnolia pods. I really do miss seeing the magnolias since I moved to NY from Louisiana. I wanted to decorate my dining room with magnolias when we bought our house up here but you guessed it...not available. Penny |

Can anyone please take a look at the attached photo of my Meyer Lemon and tell me what might be wrong?
I've had it about a year and in general has done fine but more recently it has yellowing leaves and new leaves are curling up and have whitish stains on them, kind of like hard water stains. I have fertilized it with the lutz citrus spikes. I sometimes notice very tiny web like filaments but I have never seen any actual pests on the tree. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Looks like spider mites; you won't see them without a good magnifying glass. A good wash outside or in the shower will go a long way to getting rid of them. My advice... lose the fertilizer spikes and replace with a good soluble citrus fertilizer applied 3-4 times per year according to the label. Your tree looks to be a little underfed; and unhealthy trees are more susceptible to spider mites. I would also get a good foliar fert. and give your tree an application of that about every 15 days; I like Bayer Bayfolan Forte; lots of container growers here use Foliage Pro... there are others. Your tree looks a bit leggy; I am guessing it gets less light than it would like. |

Meredith D. Hardy, Ph.D.
Southeast Archeological Center
National Park Service
Archeologists divide cultural histories of regions into cultural chronologies, with numerous local phases and traditions fitting into broader conceptions of cultural periods. These divisions are based in observed patterns and changes in many kinds of artifacts, locations and forms of settlement, practices such as gathering food and producing tools and other items, and the extent, or absence of, interactions on both local and long-distance regional scales. What follows is a brief presentation of the cultural history of the Congaree River Floodplain, a general description of the ancient societies that occupied the South Carolina Inner Coastal Plain and Fall Zone regions. There are many questions that remain unanswered regarding the lifeways and practices of these communities, questions that can only be addressed through extensive, systematic archeological inquiry.
The current archeological evidence indicates that prehistoric occupation of the area occurred throughout the 10,000 year time span covering the Paleoindian through the Late Mississippian Peiods. Presumably, short-term forays into the area by these peoples occurred periodically, in order to take advantage of the natural plant and animal resources that inhabited the area.
It appears that Paleoindian (ca. 9500 - 8000 b.c.) peoples arrived in the present-day South Carolina area during this climatic transitional period, initially hunting the megafauna, then preying on the non-herding species. However, by the beginning of the Early Holocene period (ca. 8000 b.c.) most of the megafauna had disappeared. In the Congaree River valley, the Buycks Bluff site, located across the river from Congaree National Park in the Congaree Bluffs Heritage Preserve, has been dated to the Paleoindian Period. It is likely that the Southeastern Paleoindians were fairly generalized hunter-gatherers who pursued a wide range of animals, including the megafauna that became extinct near the end of the Pleistocene age (Goodyear et al. 1989). Hunting techniques that appear to have been used by Paleoindian peoples include the ambushing of animals at salt licks, watering holes and river crossings (Tankersley 1990:97).
The Archaic Period (ca. 8000 - 6000 b.c.) has been subdivided into three chronological categories based generally on styles of projectile points: Early (ca. 8000 - 6000 b.c.), Middle (ca. 6000 - 3000 b.c.), and Late (ca. 3000 - 1000 b.c.). The changes in the styles of various projectile point types throughout the Archaic period are usually interpreted as a reflection of increasing numbers and diversity of social groups, in addition to changes in subsistence practices. Archaic peoples were most likely semi-nomadic, seasonally mobile bands of hunter-gatherers. The Early Archaic of the Inner Coastal Plain and Fall Line Zone of South Carolina is characterized by changes in lithic technology, where fluted lanceolate points gave way to side and corner notched forms (Michie 1996; Sassaman 1996). There were also changes in diet and subsistence in reaction to warming temperatures and changes in local environments. Because of these changes the Archaic toolkit was also modified, and now included tools for plant food preparation and processing (House and Ballenger 1976). People participated in long-distance trade networks to obtain stone materials. According to Anderson and Hanson (1988), these peoples maintained extensive ranges of settlement and hunting territory, with fall and winter sites occupied repeatedly for long periods of time and used as bases.
The Late Archaic was a period of major technological and economic change and innovation for South Carolina's prehistoric peoples. By the close of this period many Late Archaic groups over much of the state were becoming increasingly sedentary, participating in long distance exchange networks, experimenting with plant husbandry, and were making and using pottery; by 2500 b.c., pottery was being produced in the South Carolina/Georgia Coastal Plain, Inner Coastal Plain, and Piedmont areas. Communities consisting of large base camps, with smaller hunting and gathering parties likely broke off temporarily for specific excursions. These groups likely gathered together in the spring and fall, and dispersed during the fall and winter (Sassaman et al. 1990:3130-315).
The Woodland period (ca. 1000 b.c. - a.d.1000) is characterized by several important cultural changes, such as the establishment of semi-permanent or permanent villages, the widespread adoption of pottery, the construction of earthen mounds, and the expansion of horticulture (Struever and Vickery 1973; Smith 1986, 1989). The Early Woodland Period (ca. 1000 - 200 b.c.) is often viewed as a continuation of the Late Archaic, though people were establishing settlements in regions between rivers. Many people across the entire South Carolina Coastal Plain and Fall Zone were producing pottery. There was a gradual transition from seasonal camps to more permanent settlements. Thom's Creek-style occupations, with beginnings in the Late Archaic, tend to be concentrated in the Santee River drainage and the central coast of South Carolina, and their subsistence does not appear to have concentrated on gathering shellfish. By ca. 200 b.c., (Middle Woodland Period), people were staying not only in seasonal camps located on sandy ridges overlooking floodplains of hardwood swamps but also were now occupying bottomland zones with greater biodiversity, marking a return to consuming river resources (i.e. shellfish). By ca. a.d. 500, many of these seasonal camps were developing into widely dispersed, smaller sedentary, permanent villages. This was also the beginning of mound-building, and the presence of high status or value burial goods found with some individuals is likely evidence for difference in social status within communities; in other words, the presence of elites and commoners. People buried their dead in sand mounds and ridges, a practice found across the Georgia and southern South Carolina coastal areas. There was also an increase in localized regional pottery production, with many new styles of decoration being developed.
As populations increased, so, too, did horticultural practices. A wide variety of plants were cultivated, including sunflower, squashes and gourds, sumpweed, and maize (Crites 1991; Gremillion 1993). While some of these plants were being grown during the Late Archaic/Early Woodland periods, others, such as maize and beans, did not see a marked rise in popularity until the end of the Late Woodland. Based on current archeological evidence it does not appear that people living in the Congaree River Floodplain were horticulturalists until the Late Woodland.
It is during the Mississippian Period (ca. a.d. 1000 - 1600) that societies across the southeastern U.S., including the South Carolina Inner Coastal Plain, reached their greatest socio-economic complexity. This rise in organizational complexity is tied to the development of chiefdom societies, noted for the presence of social status ranks, centralized leadership, and specialized production of a variety of goods. Centers of power, marked on the landscape by earthen mound complexes, rose and fell as new settlements were established, alliances made, and trade networks were created, maintained, and broken. Villages during this period tended to be located along fertile river bottoms and valleys of tributaries, which were fertile and excellent for an economic system focused on horticulture and agriculture. Again, bottomland sand ridges were used to bury their dead.
The study of styles and design elements is not solely for the study of cultural continuity and change over time, but can provide insight into definitions of group membership and social identity (Hegmon 1992; Parkinson 2006; Rice 2006:267 Wobst 1977). The range and spread of styles of artifacts, whether chipped stone spear or arrow points, other forms of stone tools, decorative elements carved onto bone and shell, and manufacturing techniques and decorative styles on pottery, are indicative of forms of communication and interaction. Similarities in decorative and stylistic elements are not necessarily only indicative of common physical origins or of movements or migrations across a landscape, but also of shared symbolic value and heritage through a variety of means of communication of ideas and knowledge. They are also illustrative of changes in networks of communication over time, and different styles rise and fall in popularity over time in different areas.
The societies of northwestern Georgia, the mouth of the Savannah River, and central North Carolina all influenced the peoples of the South Carolina Inner Coastal Plain and Fall Zone regions (Anderson 1989:105; Keel et al. 1996:30). As the archeological evidences stands today, it appears that the earliest presence of people in the portion of the Congaree River Floodplain that lies inside the boundaries of Congaree National Park dates to the Middle Archaic Period, in the form of Kirk Corner Notched and Morrow Mountain-style stone projectile points. However, it is possible that Paleoindian groups that were occupying the Buyck's Bluff site across the Congaree River entered the floodplain to hunt and gather foods. During the Late Archaic Period people using Thom's Creek-style pottery were staying in the floodplain (Figure 1). Both Stallings and Thom's Creek-style pottery have been recovered throughout a region spanning from the Savannah River to southeastern North Carolina, with the slightly older Stallings phase likely originating in the Savannah River drainage (Hardy 2008; Trinkley 1989:73).
By the end of the Early Woodland period there were influences from the south, as Refuge and Deptford-style pottery made its way into the region, as did Dunlap-style wares of northwestern Georgia, especially fabric impressed wares. This trend of southern influence continued into the Late Woodland and Early Mississippian Periods, where there are many similarities between kinds of artifacts (and pottery styles) spanning from eastern Georgia to southeastern North Carolina (Anderson 1989:101).
It appears that, based on the current archeological information available, that the Congaree River floodplain may have been a kind of "buffer zone" between the extensive ranked societies along the Savannah and Wateree River valleys during the Early through Middle Mississippian Periods. The floodplain could have been occasionally used for hunting or overnight camps during journeys.
At the end of the Mississippian Period, it appears that many of the chiefdom societies of the Savannah River basin were abandoning the region and spread in two general directions, to the southwest (the Oconee river drainage) and the northeast (the Santee/Wateree river drainage) (Figure 2) (Anderson 1994:67; DePratter 1989:143). These became the paramount chiefdoms known as the Ocute and Cofitachequi, encountered by Herando de Soto (1540) (Figure 3), Pardo (1566, 1567), de Torres (1628), and Woodward (1670). Shortly after 1670, the people of Cofitachequi dispersed, and by 1701, they were scattered across the region. At its zenith, however, likely around the time of de Soto's visit, the Cofitachequi chiefdom spread 240 kilometers out from the main town, and included the confluence of the Wateree and Congaree rivers. It is believed by many archeologists (Anderson 1994:58; DePratter 1989:140; Hudson, Smith, and DePratter 1984) that the main town of Cofitachequi was located near present-day Camden, likely at the Mulberry Mound site. Hudson, Smith, and DePratter (1984) have proposed that the town of Aymay (or Guiomae) was located at the confluence of the Congaree and Wateree rivers, but its exact location remains unknown.
Finally, the Congaree people encountered by John Lawson (1966), in 1701, were likely a remnant group of the fragmented and dispersed peoples that once comprised the powerful Cofitachequi chiefdom. Their main village, located north of the Congaree River and possibly along the Wateree River or at the confluence of these two rivers, was small, consisting of only about a dozen houses.
Not long after Lawson's visit, the Congaree became involved in the Yamassee War (1715 - 1716), where they allied with the Santee, Yamassee, Creek, Wateree, Waxhaw, and other tribes in an unsuccessful attempt to drive the English out of the Carolinas. Over half of the Congaree and Santee were captured and sent to the West Indies as slaves (Swanton 1979). Those that remained went to live with the Catawba.

Pru chairman faces protest vote at AGM
Prudential chairman Harvey McGrath admitted the company needed to improve its relationship with some investors following the rebuke that saw 21.98 per cent of the votes cast reject his re-appointment at the AGM yesterday, according to the Daily Telegraph.
The protest vote – supported by shareholder Fidelity, which holds almost two per cent of the insurer – was over McGrath's role in the Pru's failed £21.9bn deal for rival AIA.
Prudential chief executive Tidjane Thiam attracted strong support from investors with 99 per cent of votes cast in favour of his re-election.
Speaking after the vote, McGrath said: "The chairman becomes the lightning rod for shareholder issues at large and that's what's reflected in the voting today.
"I don't think there are areas of dispute, it's a question of continuing the level of engagement we've had over the last six to nine months. We will continue the work and allay any fears about the stewardship of the company."
The Pru was forced to scrap its takeover of AIA last June after investors refused to back the original bid price and AIA's parent company, AIG, refused to lower the terms. The failed bid left investors facing £377m in fees. Last year's AGM, held days after the deal collapsed, saw investors demand the resignation of both McGrath and Thiam.

Walkin' in the brine: It's not three hours long and it's not meant to be taken seriously. This Titanic, opening tonight at 7:30 at the Theatre on Broadway, 13 S.

Events continue this week, marking the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech.
This weekend tens of thousands gathered on the National Mall to hear speeches with a strong theme of unfinished business.
"This is not the time for nostalgic commemoration," Martin Luther King III, the oldest son of the civil rights leader, said. "Nor is this the time for self-congratulatory celebration. The task is not done. The journey is not complete. We can and we must do more."
Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., the only surviving speaker from the 1963 march, rallied against a recent Supreme Court decision against the Voting Rights Act.
"I gave a little blood on that bridge in Selma, Alabama, for the right to vote," he said. "I am not going to stand by and let the Supreme Court take the right to vote away from us. You cannot stand by. You cannot sit down. You've got to stand up. Speak up, speak out, and get in the way."
Speakers also mentioned high unemployment among blacks, which is twice that of white Americans.
Thousands Expected for 50th March on Washington

I would like to hear what your thoughts are on the "upgrades" (Nien Numb: Co-pilot and Luke Skywalker: Gunner) for the Millennium Falcon.
I just read a snippet regarding the upcoming X-Wing expansions (Wave 2) in this issue of the Star Wars Insider. For those who get the Insider, you can find it on page 68.
It should be fun to play the Falcon with Luke in the turret. New "house rule" -- Every time Luke take out a TIE Fighter, the opponent needs to say, "Great, Kid! Don't get cocky." Or if you want to pay homage to Family Guy "Blue Harvest", "Great kid! Don't get penis-y!"

Members of the California Dietetic Association will renew their efforts to pass dietitian licensing legislation in 2012 in the wake of the bill being unexpectedly pulled from consideration by its lead sponsor due to political considerations unrelated to RDs.
In an unanticipated move, the sponsor decided not to move the bill forward in the face of opposition from the California Nurses Association, as part of a dispute between nurses and hospitals in the state. Members of the California Dietetic Association were working with the nurses association to try to iron out differences and misunderstandings when the decision was made to put the bill on hold. The meetings will continue, and the sponsor has indicated she may introduce the bill again next year.
ADA has been assisting CDA in building its grassroots team, and CDA took the lead in educating its membership and making visits to state legislators to build support for licensure.

15 Minutes of Fame: Nardi on WoW culture and art, part 2 {WoW}
Aug 25th 2010 8:37AM Whilst there's some truth to that I think it misses an important point, which is that the art of computer games (if it exists) should be distinct from the art in computer games.
The obvious visual art you speak of should not be overlooked, but it is not unique to video games, 3-dimensional visual environments are created in films as well and often to a much higher aesthetic standard than is practical in video games. That's not to say that those environments aren't art, but that they are not identical with video games.
You could compare the distinction to a film shot in an art gallery. There is art in the film, but there is also art that is the film which is something distinct involving considerations which are different from those in the art of the gallery.
What is unique to video games is interaction. There is the beauty of the created world, but there is also the relationship that that world enters into with the player, and I think that is what should be criticised if you want to determine whether or not video games can be art, rather than merely contain it.

Jun 24th 2010 2:40PM There's a good lead:
What aspects of WoW are improved by massive lag?
Other than that only thing I can think of is being able to use a mount in unmountable areas. I've occasionally managed to hand in the daily fishing q and leave dal without being dismounted.

Jun 24th 2010 2:33PM Interestingly (for HHG fans anyway) 6x9 does actually yield the answer '42' in base 13 (though obviously '42' isn't the same as forty-two, and being originally a radio series you can't really work it).
I think there's a quote from Douglas Adams along the lines of:

The Queue: Long live the shaman {WoW}
Jun 24th 2010 2:19PM Also - with any judgement on Alex' comment aside - I think the problem is that, as Alex said, there are nothing but Cata questions atm. If you read this site, you already know everything (more or less) to be known about Cata that is currently known to the staff and not under NDA. So the task has become one of trying to find those unanswerable questions to which you can compose a vaguely amusing answer.
I didn't think the response was terribly funny, but I'm not sure why people seem to be so upset about it.
The Queue: Long live the shaman {WoW}
Jun 24th 2010 2:11PM @Al I don't think that's really fair. Only NA really gets covered on here, for the obvious reason that most of the content is not regional in any way, and when it is almost all the writers here are from NA so it's as you'd expect.
EU gets a bit of coverage - due to having all the world firsts and simply being a very large region with a lot of players which increases the chances of producing players/guilds of note.
China gets a bit of mention purely because of the politics.
Oceania and south east asia (apart from China), just happen to be relatively small WoW regions without much in the way of top class representation, which is understandable given the size of said regions. I seriously doubt that it's anything 'personal', just common sense.

I can get on with people extremely well for years and years and then more or less completely lose touch because I've moved house or something.
Some people I think are just like this. It's not that I don't care about people or really enjoy their company, but rather that I'm quite a solitary person and find going out of my way to keep up regular communication to be somewhat stressful. This used to really irritate me, but now I just accept it. Other people know I'm like this, and I try to make it clear, and on the whole things work out pretty well. I have brilliant friends who I can not talk to for literally years and then bump into and take up again where we left off.
My friends don't take it personally if I go into seclusion for a couple of months, because I make it clear that that's what I'm like. I'm a bastard and I like my space.

Does it need to be played with HL2 or Episode One? Just noticed the comment about the Zombine. Looks nice from the screens… Downloading.
Following a reinstall I didn't bother to download EP1 again (Not until I replace my GeForce 6200 that is…) and the Zombine is still there so I wouldn't worry about it.
(The folder goes in your SourceMods folder either way….)
I'm with MikeS though and go along with his/her comments.
Due credit to the author though, even if I am beginning to think I belong to the school of HL1&2 players that appreciate the layout & design more than being cannon-fodder all the time!
Well worth the DL.
Stupid me… I forgot every mod goes in the same folder anyway.
It could have been a map-pack though…….
While I know that when Phillip uploads Maps & Mods to the Filecloud server, and links back to them from the ever-growing index it soon becomes obvious which category they fall into, but on the front page would it be an idea perhaps to state either "Map" or "Mod"?
I guess as most of us probably would have a go at them in any case, but its just a thought…..
I agree on identifying them as maps or mod.
This mod was well worth the download – if a little too short. A few people up above were noting that the level design became repetitive, but I just don't think it was long enough to become repetitive. That, and the flooded basement level broke up the monotony of the hallways very nicely.
It is very difficult, as has been noted, which I found as a definite plus. My only complaints are that it's too short and – for some reason – it ran very slowly on my computer. I had to tone down several graphics options to get it to work right.
I liked it a lot. The only downside was the installer. It's overkill to have an .rar to a .exe followed by a 7zip. Not really a big deal but I just had to point that out.
I enjoyed this map. Yes, it was difficult. The lack of health and ammo at the start combined with close-quarters combat with Combine armed with shotguns was very tricky. However it had nice-looking maps and good use of lighting.
The first "puzzle" had a me confused for a while. The vent hidden behind the crates just seemed a bit… cheap? Too well-hidden for the very first area.
Another comment I forgot to add: sometimes the level design felt odd and disjointed. The area was supposed to be an apartment block but the layout was all over the place with rooms leading into one another in no particular set fashion. Where was the central corridor dividing the individual apartments? The level layout felt like FEAR – room after room after room.
Honestly I liked this short 2-map piece very.
The mapper did not make the fatal error to pack
something epic in here,but focussed on closed quarters combat. With good result. In effect it
was a short but satisfying experience. I hope I see more hopefully a bit larger in scale. -
Loved it. -
I've had this one sitting on my hard drive for a while and finally decided to play it. First off, please note that at the time of this writing, the installation process for this mod is still kooky. As grimjoe pointed out, it's a RAR containing an EXE containing a 7-Zip file. I have no idea what this was meant to accomplish, but keep that in mind.
Onto the mod itself, it starts off in an uneasy way, both in difficulty and mood. Health and ammo are always at a premium, so you will find it very difficult, although it does add to the tension and overall creepiness of the mod. It is creepy in the same way Ravenholm was. Lots of claustrophobic corridors and blind corners and pseudo-branching paths. As Matt pointed out, it is reminiscent of F.E.A.R. level design. Both the difficulty and the scare factor seem to relent in the second act. Despite the fact that ammo is limited, the kind of ammo you do find is strangely chosen. I had no ammo for the SMG or Pistol by the end, but tons for the Overwatch gun. It would have been better if the author chose a couple weapons and really focused on those, rather than leaving me with an excess of useless guns.
As far as aesthetics go, the mod looks fantastic for what it is. You'll never get a panoramic shot of the slums themselves, but the rooms are nicely textured and decorated and there is no shortage of props to go around. If anything, there are too many. In combat, I found myself getting caught on the odd crate, and we all know how much Zombies love tossing props at you for maximum damage. The lighting is well done. The portions with the flooded basement and the eerie blue lighting are particular stand-outs. The author even made attempts to properly introduce some enemies, like the Zombine. You see their handiwork before you see them.
Contrary to other reviewers, I don't think the mod is too short. In fact, I feel it almost outstays its welcome. By the time we get a fair distance into the second map, it's clear that the author has run out of things to do rather than the tired "push the button" mechanic. Even the rooms and hallways start repeating themselves, only with different locks on the doors. Why are the Combine here, anyway?
There were a couple segments in this mod that I didn't care for. One, at the end of the flooded basement, I believe you are supposed to stack a series of barrels and a wood pallet in order to escape. I tried several times and it's very frustrating. The physics are far too wobbly, the way you pick up items isn't always accurate (you end up smashing your little prop sculpture too easily), and on top of that, you can destroy the wood pallet. I didn't like that part. As we've seen in other mods, like Awakenings, stacking props never works in Half-Life 2. Don't do it. Two, the ending was a bit confusing and involved too much backtracking. This is a scenario where the switch is implausibly far from the object it controls, so the player would likely have forgotten it. Ways around this could have been to repopulate the way back with some enemies (to tell the player they are on the right track), or have the Combine monitor briefly show what just happened through a camera.
Overall, it's a good mod. Give it a try, especially if you're looking for a mod that is both creepy and does the tenement housing theme well.
Hi guys! I really glad that you played my mod. I am working on Slums 2 mod and you can check out info here in Moddb: http://www.moddb.com/mods/slums-2

A movie shoot always offers an abundance of downtime; hurry up and wait" is the usual cliché. Trejo keeps the mood light during the lulls, but when the cameras are rolling, he's there to work. "He's very focused," says Akrout. And Trejo has no patience for people who waste his time. It's why he likes working with Robert Rodriguez so much, and why Dead in Tombstone will be his third movie with director Roel Reiné. He loves directors who know what they want and are able to communicate that vision. "I can't stand directors that have to see what they want, because then you're doing eight, nine, ten, eleven takes until they see it," he says. "Directors are supposed to direct."

So I read through the rules and realized that this game is hard. There are some definite limitations to advancing forward.
3 heroes per player = 3 resources per round
1 encounter draw per round per player
Committing to a quest, defending, and attacking all require Exhaustion of the character. One character can only do ONE of these actions.
I can see it already. Because enemies attack first and the negative for not defending is so harsh (direct damage!), you will be defending when possible. Which means that you need to plan ahead and not commit characters to quests.
AH! This game has a very euro-game feel to it! Too much to do and not enough time! I can see intro turns working out as build up to horde resources, equip. But as you advance, you will need to be making a lot of sacrifices as you get forced into limitations by card draw, resources, and just the quirks of the game board.
Just initial thoughts....I'm excited for this game. Loving that it can be played single player! Sometimes it's hard to find friends!

Mandrake 9.1 PPC install prob
I encountered a problem with partitioning my HDD. I do not want to keep any info on it, => i decided to format it completely. But the installation said something about "not enough space", and "you need to create a strapdisk". I messed with manual repartitioning of the HDD, and now this message does not appear anymore. Instead, when i try any of the options (Use existing, Erase whole HDD, Custom Partition), it says "An error occurred formatting of failed"
what should i do?
- 04-11-2006 #2
Oops. Nasty thing. When you set up a PPC Linux system, you need to have a bootstrap and a hfs partition at the beginning of the harddisk afaik. Check the installation notes for PPC installation at the Mandriva-site. There should be some hint on how to install the PPC version.

To be healthy is to have passion. Passion to be in good physical, mental and emotional health. It means you will become great with whatever you do because it means you strive to do your best no matter what.
For example, if you are a sports fan then you want to be healthy and have an active lifestyle because you too want to play the game. That's passion.
To be a healthy person you can take several steps. The first, I believe to be the most important is to change your lifestyle. You need to take every opportunity to do this. You individually, your family and your community.
A great example to explain this is, you need to be active by possibly playing a kind of sport 15 to 30 minutes, three days a week and making it a habit.
The second step is focusing on your family. Exercising as a family increases your motivation and keeps you all active. This allows for better long term health.
If you would like to start family exercise program but don't know how to start, I have some tips:
To be healthy is to have energy, live longer and feel happier.
Live life to the best of your ability and be all you can with every step you take. For you, your family, and your community.

Can I grow some more Autumn Joy Sedum from what I've got. If so, do I just clip one, and can I do it now, and do I just plant it or soak it in water? |

use division of the clump OR take a 3 eye cutting. apply 0.1% IBA (rooting Hormone) stick in well drain soil Mist |

I root most sedums in water. Once they start to get roots, I move to pots. |
I just stuck some cuttings in potting soil two weeks ago and put the pot in the shade. They look like they are doing fine. I plan to take them in for the winter and plant them in the garden in the spring. I also laid some of the leaves on the soil around the cuttings and I saw little plants growing on some of the outer margins of few leaves. Hope this helps. |
This works in MN, but not sure about further south. I cut a large stems in late spring/early summer, or the stems the dogs have broken off, and directly stick them in the garden where I want them. Keep the soil moist and they root just fine. |

A Message from Head of Energy Systems Engineering
Welcome to the Energy Systems Engineering Programme at NUI Galway, offering the newest four-year Honours Bachelor degree in the College of Engineering. It was established in 2009 as a multidisciplinary programme to address the need for highly-qualified engineers to address some of the greatest challenges faced by society; climate change, energy supply security and energy poverty. Due to the systemic importance of energy across all sectors of the world economy, Energy Systems Engineers at NUI Galway take modules from Civil, Electrical/Electronic and Mechanical Engineering as well as from Computer Science and Information Technology. In addition, specific subjects within Energy Systems Engineering modules are delivered by staff members from Economics, Political Science and Sociology, Chemistry and Microbiology.
For their final two years, Energy Systems Engineers choose a field of engineering specialism; Civil Engineering, in which students study energy supply and demand in the built environment as well as drawing on NUI Galway's rich history of offshore structural engineering; Electrical/Electronic Engineering, in which students discover how to integrate renewable energy, smart devices, homes and businesses as well as energy storage in web-enabled Smart Grids; or Mechanical Engineering in which students apply fundamental know-how to create the highly-efficiency low-emissions energy conversion technologies of the future. Upon graduation from the Bachelors degree, students can opt to stay for a one-year Masters of Engineering in which they can further focus on their chosen specialism as well as broaden their professional skills.
Many of our students are active in the NUI Galway Energy Society, the largest, most active and most influential student group in the country dedicated to energy. Energy Soc runs a large number of events throughout the year including movie screenings, site visits, guest lectures and trips abroad to energy research centres such as the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems. Events culminate with the annual NUIG Energy Night, which is the first and only national energy conference in Ireland run entirely by students.
