I have read and read and read here. Including the past several days of the various pantry threads. I am still confused.
We are going to add a pantry closet in our remodeled kitchen. The interior dimensions are going to be aproximately 48"X30". I guess it would be called a reach-in pantry. Currently we have a pantry cabinet that is 36"X24" deep. It is chaos--with stuff being buried in the back that never sees the light of day again. I want to avoid this in the new pantry. My KD asked me to see if I could make it smaller--I think 48" is about as small as I should go. I am having problems--as usual, with planning the space. Is there wasted space in this dimension? I had thought about having L shaped shelves--with one wall 18" and the other 12" deep--with some room for hooks or cans on the other side. My husband thinks 18" deep on both sides would be better. He says the only thing I gain by going shallower is air. Wrapping up my bottom line question here--do I lose something other than space by making one wall shallower? Any advice on the size? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I see your dh with time for opinions has shown up in your pantry! :-) 18" is pretty deep (the absolute maximum I'd want) and by making the one side shallower, you get more shelf-frontage on the adjacent wall...Does that make any sense? In other words, that might not be any more clear, by making both sides deeper, you gain more corner and less shelf length. We have 16" deep shelves across the back and 12" deep on one side in a 48" x 45" pantry, and I'm quite happy with the shelf depths. Besides 'air space' you gain some floor space, which might be valuable for odd things you might want to tuck in or for more step-in space for better access and reach. |
Rhome--yes, he is everywhere with his darn opinions! How lucky am I? I have your pantry saved to my favorites. I love it. I had seen the dimensions earlier--and then lost them. Thanks for putting it back in an easy place for me to find. His new idea is 18" in back and 12" on each side |
Maybe talk him down to 12" on only one side for your L configuration, then compromise and stay? :-) |
12"on one side is what I started with. Well, actually, in my initial visions, I assumed the closet would be large enough for a U. He keeps bringint that up to me--my own words! Life was easier when he had no opinion about these things. I did find those cansolidator things that someone had mentioned earlier--from Costco. Has anybody else been happy with them? |

I had 18" deep shelves in my old pantry and they were too deep...things got lost all the time and I always seemed to be moving things around to get to other things. The deepest I would go is 15" and even that is too deep for some things. I can fit all my small appliances on the 12" deep shelves except my toaster oven. I put the TO on the floor since it takes up so much space (we rarely use it now, it was bought for and used extensively during our remodel). Even my KA stand mixer (the one w/a lift bowl) fits on the 12" deep shelves. I have a "U" shaped basement pantry for overflow/large amounts/numbers but even that pantry has 12" deep shelves on the sides. The base of the "U" has 24" deep shelves, and I have to agree that 24" is too deep. |
Ours are 12 inches, but our pantry is a straight row of built-in cabinets, not a U. 12 inches works fine for us, and I'd also recommend adjustable shelves, if that's a possibility for you. |
I don't have any specific suggestions for the side depths, but I am definitely in the don't-go-deeper-than-18"-max camp! Been there, done that, hate it. Loved my pantry in my old house w/ 16" deep shelving. |
Thanks for the responses. Gbsim--What are the interior dimensions on your pantry. I love the idea of having 6" shelves, if I can not fit the 12" I will show this picture to DH. Buehl--I just went and measured the shelf in my storage closet that holds my stand mixer--12", I am looking forward to clearing space in that closet and moving that into the pantry. Now that I think of it--the shelving in that closet was a bone of contention for us too! I made the mistake of letting him alone go to HD and picking out the shelves. Not gonna make that mistake again! I miss all that storage we had in New England. I think 16" sounds plenty big! |
gbsim, I'm really interested to see your six inch shelves. I'm currently trying to plan the shelves for my small walk-in, which I'm hoping will be built over the winter. Straight ahead I'll have a half-width wall (2 1/2 feet) of 12 inch deep shelves, and a 4 foot long side wall of 5 inch deep shelves. I'm planning to store the majority of my food items on the 5 inch shelves. Seeing yours gives me some confidence that my idea will work. |
Arlosmom, it's hard to tell from the photos but the front rail on my shelves is actually higher than the shelves and provides a bit of a lip. Not truly necessary for the 12" shelves, but I think if you were doing 5" you'd definitely want that lip so that things didn't accidentally get nudged off when you were pulling something else out. My side shelves are 6" NOT counting the front rail. I find them very handy! |

I'm excited about my new pantry. My old one was awful.. One really deep wall cabinet and that was it. You really had to dig to find what you needed. I wanted an island really bad in my narrow kitchen, and I go the bright idea to move the fridge and make that wall a pantry wall, going between the studs. I can already tell I'm going to love it. The "cabinet" takes up about 3 inches of floor space into the room, but is recessed into the wall to provide extra storage. The shelves are 7". That's about 2 campbells soup cans deep, which is what I used to design it. Handles are on their way soon and the doors just went on today. 3 sets of double doors, and then at the end of the run a bookcase above and double doors below, also all 7" |

SMMS supposedly stands for social media management system. I've said it once, and I will say it again – there is no such thing as A social media management system.
Using the term "SMMS" proliferates the complete misconception that businesses work with one application versus the, at minimum, 3 to 5 they're actually working with. I've spoken with companies using at least 8 different social media applications to support CRM – and this isn't rare! There is not one all-in-one application in the market right now. How could there be?! Is there one "Customer" team in an organization? That customer team does marketing, customer service and sales from within the same reporting structure? They all use the same legacy application to do their day-to-day jobs? So how could there be one social solution to plug into one tool which, quite frankly, doesn't exist.
It's the same problem that has happened with the word, "social." Sure we're collectively moving past the hump, but you know how many people still confusedly think all "social" is the same thing? Do you know how many people parallel Radian 6 with Facebook? It's scary and yet, it isn't their fault. It's the market's fault for feeding into a hyped up misnomer and not clarifying which aspect of "social" they meant. Everyone just wanted to fit in – but that led end user organizations into this giant jumble of a world where HootSuite, Yammer, and Bazaarvoice are on the same shortlist.
Social solutions are not just social solutions, they're solutions which complement a business process. Social solutions for marketing, social solutions for customer service, social solutions for sales, etc. So sure, if you want to #smms you can go for it, I'm not stopping you. At least do me a solid and say what you're actually looking at, purpose wise, when it comes to "managing" social media.

Ungan said: "One is six."
because that one contains all the energy of the six. It pulls every energy from every center into the flowering of the ultimate being, into becoming a buddha. The whole energy is absorbed.
Yakusan's answer did not create a puzzle to Ungan. He commented,
"One is six; six is one."
"Just a little more time. I am moving towards the one. Six will become one just as one contains all the six."
This can be said only by a man who has reached to the sixth center, because from the sixth, you can see the seventh. It is just there, a very small distance. Everything is clear.
Ungan is only one step behind Yakusan, but he can see Yakusan. He has gathered the whole energy of the six centers into one. He is at the sixth, any moment he will be moving to the seventh. And then the six will become one.
This is a beautiful anecdote between a master and a would-be master, one who is going to become a master soon.
Later on, when Ungan visited Isan,
another enlightened master,
Isan said, "I have heard that when you were with Yakusan, you had a conversation about getting and dealing with lions. Is that true?""Yes, it is," replied Ungan.Isan asked, "Do you continue to deal with them, or do you sometimes stop doing that?"Ungan replied, "When I want to, I deal with them; and when I want to stop, I stop."
His answer is immensely beautiful and significant. A man who has gone beyond the mind to the seventh center is capable, if he wants to use the mind, of using it. I am using it, but only when I am talking to you. When I am sitting in my room, I am not using it.

I hope someone here can help me. I installed Armstrong laminate flooring in my new home. It's fine, but I had to put in several transitions and T mouldings. I glued them down with Liquid Nails construction adhesive.
The adhesive is drying out and the transitions are coming up. The floor is on a slab-on-grade with hydronic radiant heat. I suspect the heat has caused the LN to dry out. Armstrong recommends construction adhesive for this application; in fact, specifically told me LN. LN does *not* recommend any of their products for flooring purposes. Any ideas which adhesive would work without drying out? bedingfield |
Follow-Up Postings:
Depending on what kind of plastic the pieces are made from it can be difficult to get any glue to stick reliably long term. There is a small amount of movement every time you walk on (or even near) the pieces as the floor gives under your weight. Mastic for anchoring rubber base trim might work. |
Perhaps what you might want to try is polyurethane construction adhesive; flexible, aggressive bond. |

City of Gary officials weigh proposed Airport Board changes
By Michelle L. Quinn Post-Tribune correspondent January 22, 2013 7:54PM
Gary City Councilman Roy Pratt. | Sun-Times Media file
Related Stories
Updated: February 24, 2013 6:26AM
GARY — The state may want to take over the Gary/Chicago International Airport's governance, but the Chicago/Gary Airport Authority Compact may render those efforts for naught.
Formed to stave off a similar takeover of Midway, O'Hare International and the former Meigs Field the Illinois General Assembly attempted in 1995, the interstate compact has been upheld in the U.S. Supreme Court, Gary City ouncilman Roy Pratt, D-at large, explained in a Tuesday morning news conference he called. Several cities, such as New York City, have interstate compacts that set the precedent.
Senate Bill 0585, written and sponsored by State Sen. Ed Charbonneau, R-Valparaiso, seeks to install an additional five governor-appointed members to the Airport Authority Board as well as one apiece from Lake and Porter counties. Also, the bill calls for Gov. Mike Pence to name the new board's chairman.
The compact, which provides the city with a share of facility charges collected from Midway and O'Hare, allows for a seven-member board, with an appointment each from Lake and Porter counties.
"The law says that the compact is in charge, and (the city of Gary) still has control," Pratt said. "I have people who're wanting me to say this is racial, and it's not — we're talking about power, here — but now they're getting insulting. They want to trick us."
Pratt said because the compact was created to help Chicago keep control of its airports, he's confident Chicago will defend Gary against the bill.
Chicago/Gary Airport Authority member and city of Chicago Corporation Counsel Stephen Patton didn't return calls for comment.
If the compact authority doesn't defend the city with Pratt, Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson says she will.
That isn't to say Freeman-Wilson doesn't support the bill. She's a proponent of it and what it has to offer the city. But even if the bill makes it sound like the state is trying to strip away Gary's remaining assets — which she doesn't believe to be true — she appreciates the message behind some of the language.
"Folks have been watching us (with the airport), and they've been underwhelmed. Got it," she said. "Is the solution having the governor come in? No, but let's find something that addresses the concerns.
"The (proposed port at Buffington Harbor) is a much bigger opportunity than the airport, and the trauma center is huge. Also, the gaming licenses are privately owned, why would the governor take something from the business community without an exchange with the entity that owns the license?"
Former city Corporation Counsel MacArthur Drake, who was part of the team that drafted the compact in 1995, agreed the bill doesn't have to be omnibus legislation.
"There's no reason we have to give up the airport, and there's no reason you have to give up one of the gaming licenses to get a trauma center," he said. "It's better for the citizens to vote on these items one at a time."
Post-Tribune staff writer Matt Mikus contributed to this report.

For centuries there has been political conflict between two independent regions – mainland China & Taiwan. Taiwan's struggle for independence and its desire to be considered its own sovereign country has led to years of political discussion and debate. The Straits Forum Convention Center serves as a platform for staging political discussion between mainland China and Taiwan.
The Straits Forum Convention Center shall serve as an iconic symbol to the community and region of Xiamen as a gathering place, celebrating the reunion and open communication between mainland China and Taiwan, through progressive architecture rooted in meaningful form.
The solution is a concept embodied in the simple and pure idea of reuniting two parties in balance with one another. The architectural expression becomes a symbol of invitation and gathering, expressed through a large sweeping roof structure rising upwards in pure visual balance.
As if with open arms to the east and west, this gesture celebrates the idea of reunion while trying to find peace and purpose through simplicity and balance in architectural form. The idea of reunion is punctuated by a perfect sphere symbolising the full moon over water.

Vt. law school cutting jobs, preparing for changesBy DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | November 26,2012
In this Oct. 25, 2012 photo, students walk on the campus of the Vermont Law School in South Royalton, Vt. The new dean of the Vermont Law School talked about changes the school is contemplating to adapt to changes in the marketplace for lawyers _ essentially that there are not enough jobs to accommodate the lawyers coming out of schools around the country. (AP Photo/Toby Talbot)SOUTH ROYALTON Vermont Law School is offering voluntary buyouts to staff and may do so soon with faculty as it prepares for what its president and dean says are revolutions about to sweep both the legal profession and higher education.
A sharp drop in the numbers of Americans applying to law schools triggered by a drop in the number of legal jobs open already is being felt at the independent law schools bucolic campus on the south bank of the White River.
The class due to graduate in the spring with juris doctor degrees numbers just over 200. The class that will follow it in 2014 numbers about 150.
When our enrollment goes down, we have to downsize, Marc Mihaly, the schools president and dean, said in an interview. No matter what, were going to see fewer on-campus JD students (traditional law students pursuing juris doctor degrees). And we have to adjust to that because we do not run deficits in this school.
The law school is independent; it is not tied to the University of Vermont or another mother ship, as Mihaly put it. He argued that can make it more nimble in responding to changes in the marketplace for legal training.
The declines in numbers at the South Royalton campus reflect a national trend. Word has been spreading in recent years that there are fewer job openings for lawyers. The American Bar Association reported in June that barely half of those who finished law school in 2011 had landed legal jobs within nine months of graduation.
That, in turn, has brought about a 25 percent drop in the numbers of people applying to law schools nationwide during the past two years, according to The National Law Journal.
Both Mihaly and Paul Campos, a leading critic of legal education and law professor at the University of Colorado, said some law schools likely will have to close. Campos argued that many have allowed their tuitions to rise so much that law school no longer is a wise investment for most students.
Campos scoffed at VLS advertising itself as the place to go for people who want to work in public-interest environmental law. Just a tiny percentage of lawyers end up in such jobs, he said.
You might as well say your career aspiration is to be an NBA power forward, he said.
VLS maintains it does better than the national average for law schools placing graduates in jobs with government agencies and public interest groups and in judicial clerkships.
Law schools report figures each year on the employment status of graduates to the American Bar Association. Of 174 graduates in 2011, the school reported, 139 were employed, with 110 of those in long-term, full-time jobs.
Mihaly, who moved up from the faculty to take the top job at VLS in August, said in an interview this past week that law schools need to adapt to changes sweeping both the legal profession and higher education.
The legal profession is entering an era of greater specialization and differentiated levels of training. No longer will law firms be staffed completely with people with three-year juris doctor degrees. The market and technology are going to take that model and shake it, Mihaly said.
Instead, theyll be looking to meet their clients demands that they reduce costs by having a growing number of tasks handled by people who may have less than three years of traditional legal training, but who are specialists in fields ranging from environmental to sports law, Mihaly said.
Health care has responded to demands for reducing costs by having physicians assistants and nurse practitioners take over duties once performed by doctors, Mihaly said, and the legal profession will soon be following suit. Some law firms may figure out that some processes can be handled by a call center in India, he said.
Meanwhile, there will also be a push for specialization, he said. He called VLS well positioned to respond to the challenges. Already the school is regarded as a leader in environmental and energy law, among other specialties. It has developed extensive ties with China as that giant nation develops a body of environmental law.
If youre interested in law and youre interested in China and the environment, theres only one place to come, Mihaly said.
The school is branching out beyond the traditional juris doctor degree to offer masters degrees in environmental law and policy and in energy regulation and law.
While it responds to big changes in the legal profession, VLS also is grappling with what may be even bigger changes in the world of higher education, Mihaly said. The thousand-year-old model of a university based on a monastic separation from the surrounding community is disappearing, as more people combine education and work.
Distance learning, with classes offered mainly online, is becoming increasingly popular. Mihaly cited his daughter Elena, a third-year VLS student who is taking courses online while already working at the Colorado attorney generals office in Denver.MORE IN Vermont NewsA Montpelier man has been sentenced for trying to kill himself by setting his Elm Street home on...

I seem to have a problem with every gas grill I have purchased with regards to the igniter-- the insulation burns off, then the wires fray/burn and low and behold- no more electronic igniter!
The first 2 grill were very basic cheapos. The last one was what I thought a decent (at least more costly) grill from Costco. The igniter died after 2 years. I don't cook overly greasy food, I clean the grill... Is it me or is this an inherent issue with ignition on gas grills? Is there a way to prevent this? Is it less common with a higher quality model (am looking at Weber S 450). Thanks, Jeannette |
Follow-Up Postings:
The only igniters that I have had konk out on me were the ones that go to the side burner. I figure this is because it gets too much weather exposure. Finally bought a grill cover when we got out new grill 3 years ago and that seems to be doing the trick. We cover it every night, protects from dew as well as rain. The burners on the interior are holding up very well and the side burner works perfectly too. Ours is a Great Outdoors Pinnacle 4 burner Stainless unit and has stainless grates. I personally do not like the porcelain coated racks as they are susceptible to chipping and cracking. |

More than 35 states now have statewide plans in place or officially in the works to deal with Alzheimer's and other dementias. Idaho is not one of them. We need a plan to help assess and reduce the burden of this disease on our growing population of Alzheimer's patients, their caregivers and our government. Do we have the right type and number of facilities and services in place? Are we making sure Idahoans have the best therapeutic and caregiving services available? Are we using taxpayer dollars effectively? A state plan will ensure this, and in the fall of 2010, a group of citizens formed the IAPG to bring such a plan about. The IAPG is comprised of educators, researchers, administrators, service providers and other advocates. It is a project of Boise State University's Center for the Study of Aging, in conjunction with the Idaho Commission on Aging (ICOA). IAPG's own steering committee includes numerous stakeholders, such as representatives from Idaho AARP and the national Alzheimer's Association. Its members are committed to developing a comprehensive, realistic set of recommendations to meet this public health and financial challenge – a strategic plan that can be supported by our state legislators and our governor.
Our Mission
To improve the spectrum of prevention, diagnosis, treatment and caregiver support services for people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
Governor's 2-1-1 PSA
Our Vision
Alzheimer's disease and other dementias will be identified as a public policy priority in Idaho. We will take a leadership role in educating legislators and the public about this growing health care issue and advocate for a statewide strategic plan to address it.

I just so happen to have two young rooted plants. These were propagated by air layering, as this is the only way I have been able to propagate this plant. One plant is pretty heavy, I would say it would be for pick-up only. The other could be mailed. I live in AZ. Waht state do you live in? Some states do not allow citrus to be shipped in. BTW, I have never seen any seeds in the citrons that are formed by thit plant. |

Personal Statement
"I am a 6/8" Junior who attends Christ Chapel Academy in Woodbridge, VA. Given my height, I have stuck out in crowds since I was 2 years old. I started playing basketball at age 10, and in high school I was selected for the varsity squad as a sophomore. When called upon, I have played the 3, 4, and 5 position. Currently, I am ranked number two in my Division for Blocked Shots, ending the season with 64 blocked shots. I would like to attend college and major in Business and minor in Computer Science. My aspiration is to play basketball in college to improve my knowledge, skills, and abilities, with hopes to play in the NBA someday. I work hard and believe in team play. In the future, I want to use my education to open a business. I participate in group activities that give back to the community and hope I can find a college team that does the same."

In this case, at least the blogger was indicted directly for what he posted. CPJ's archives are filled with research showing that governments use a broad palette of charges ranging from minor violations of bureaucratic regulations to sedition against critical writers, broadcasters, and photographers in all media, designed to divert attention from their journalism. Vietnamese blogger Nguyen Van Hai is serving thirty months in jail for tax evasion. His conviction followed his critical reporting on the government's handling of a territorial dispute with China.
In Uzbekistan, online journalist Salidzhon Abdurakhmanov, who reports on human rights and social issues, has been charged with illegal drug possession—a trumped up accusation meant to silence him, according to his supporters. Iranian blogger Omidreza Mirsayafi wrote a post questioning Iran's support for the Lebanon-based group Hezbollah. That was enough to earn him thirty months in prison for insulting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the 1979 revolution. Mirsayafi never got to serve out his sentence: he died in Tehran's Evin prison in unexplained circumstances in March this year.
In authoritarian states, bloggers are in the vanguard of defenders of freedom of expression, often filling a vacuum left by the official press. Technology is churning up the twentieth century media landscape, burying rigid distinctions between journalists and non-journalists. Anyone who uses this new technology to disseminate news or opinion at risk to their life or liberty deserves our support.
"Chaos is among the characteristics of the blogosphere," says Kalima's Réjiba. "But we must acknowledge that the other characteristics are bravery and a real thirst for freedom."

aha. this discussion may still be in flux and i believe it's all about
session management and not whether each application native behavior is
wrong or right. aham ;)
but ntl. let me see,
ardour stores a world under its own session directory on a per session

is more appropriate. check.
otoh, qtractor doesn't do that but you (the human being) are in control,
remenber? it's your choice anyway. and there's an exit option: you may
chose anytime to save the whole (qtractor) session in a zip file
container. in case you don't know, this is a pretty regular zip file
(besides having an esquisite .qtz file suffix), just like
(open|libre)office and .jar files are and, as far as my knowledge goes,
are pretty portable stuff ;)
again, the subject at hand is about session management and whether huge
or small "external" files are to get reported to the SM from
applications in its way to collect, map(*) and possibly massage--my
nomenclature here--a managed-session-"repertoire".
(*) map: hashes, symlinks, hardlinks or whatever--it's a SM
implementation detail anyhow
otherwise, i may be way off base (which is not that rare:^))

HP 3610EA Slate is the 10-inch version with red back and there are even silver models. There are even 7-inch models with similar specs but the larger one are better for browsing the web and other stuff. I prefer larger devices because I use them at home and I don't travel a lot. I would use a stand for it when I read or write and email because I have both hands free and it is more comfortable. This is a mid-range tablet because of the specs and the design is simple.
It is much cheaper than a premium tablet or a laptop, but it is more a multimedia device than an office device. Large tablets can be carried easily so you need a bag and such accessory isn't cheap. It has a very awesome price (see special price & best deal here) and a good discount.
View here more images, technical specifications and info of this deviceThe Dual-Core 1.2GHz processor is great because the OS is Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, so everything will move smooth. It can handle almost any game because some games need a Quad Core processor and a better GPU. The 1GB RAM is enough even for present programs and you can multitask if you want. The usable storage is less than 16GB because the OS and programs are installed on it. The Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS is one of the best choices you can make because it moves decent even if the specs aren't high-end ones. It is a 3G Ready tablet so you can connect an external 3G modem or you can try the WiFi-hotspot function of your smartphone.
The 10 inch screen has a HD resolution that is decent. It features even a bluetooth technology, so you can transfer files with it or connect a wireless keyboard if you want. Of course, you can even other peripherals if you need them.
Sound quality is great with the Beats Audio. HP 3610EA Slate offers a decent battery life especially because it is offered by a well known manufacturer and it is over average. It is a reliable model that is offers by a well known manufacturer and if you are interested in its design, I posted a clip below:

Soils are complex systems, in which physical, geochemical and biological processes interact in aggregate structures situated in dynamically shifting air- and water-filled spaces. It is difficult to adequately sample soil properties and to model processes related to those soil measurements. These challenges were discussed in a stimulating three-day conference on Complex Soils Systems in Berkeley a few weeks ago. Attendees came from an incredible diversity of backgrounds with a common interest in tackling issues in soil science. The need to better understand soils was motivated by the importance of soil processes in climate and for figuring out "How to feed the soil and the planet?" in the anthropocene – a question posed early on by Professor John Crawford.
Issues of scale were brought up explicitly or were evident implicitly in many of the presentations. Namely, that relevant processes in biogeochemical cycles occur over a wide range of spatial (nano- to mega-meter) and temporal (seconds to millennia) scales, but our observations are typically limited to a much narrower scope given measurement and resource constraints. These issues were elegantly summarized in the recent article "Digging Into the World Beneath Our Feet: Bridging Across Scales in the Age of Global Change" by Hinckley, Wieder, Fierer and Paul in Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union 95 (11), 96-97. In a real sense, the scale issue presents problems when societal decisions regarding soil sustainability and ecosystem services are made using data and models derived from different (often smaller) spatial scales than are relevant to the policies and issues themselves.
One illustration of the concept of a spatially complex soil system is illustrated with the figure below by California College of the Arts (CCA) student Sakurako Gibo. The image depicts a theoretical assemblage of soil microbes with different morphologies (for instance round spores versus string-like mycelia). In the second figure, the complex system is "pulled apart" into bins that might represent the effect of a sampling strategy that subsamples components of the whole system. The information about the original complex assemblage and connections is not retained, and as a result, data and rules based off of the binned samples may be different from the case in the real intact community.
What to do? I walked away from the meeting in awe of the amount of unanswered questions on soil complexity and scale. However, with the increasing technical capability in soil and microbial measurements, and efforts at meetings like this one, made it evident that progress will continue in this area.
I'll end with another neat set of figures produced by CCA student Leslie Greene who illustrated an emergent pattern of predicted H2 consumption (o) based on the availability of H2 (•) from the atmosphere (distributed) and from N2-fixing root nodules (gray filled circles). She created the pattern of H2 consumption based on one rule, soil moisture had to be above 10% and below 50%, as indicated by the concentric rings around water-logged soil sites (red filled circles). From this simple scheme, an irregular pattern emerges of the location where H2 consumption occurs. When faced with the complexity of soil, it is easy to feel paralyzed, and perhaps starting with a simple approach like this will help me embrace the system and its questions.
Thank you for the BioDesign course organizers at California College of the Arts (Tobi Lyn Schmidt and Mike Bogan)!

Houston Dynamo forward Brian Ching has partnered once again with Houston Habitat for Humanity on his charitable initiative, The House that Ching Built. After participating in a video public service announcement for the organization in 2010, Brian was curious to learn more. A visit to a Houston Habitat for Humanity build site was enough for him to commit to fundraise $75,000 to build a house. In October 2010 the project was finished.
In early 2013 in the midst of announcing his retirement from professional soccer, Ching, started a fundraising campaign to build a second "green" house. Through generous donations from private companies and individuals including proceeds from the Testimonial Match held at BBVA Compass Stadium, he was able to raise $125,000 for Houston Habitat for Humanity. The amount covers a 2nd house to be finished in mid 2014 and also seed money for a 3rd house in 2015. The House(s) That Ching Built is a testament to the commitment and love he has for his adopted city.
"Partnering with Houston Habitat has been fantastic for me, as it's something that I've been blessed to be able to do," said Ching. "Seeing how much this project has changed the first two families that benefitted from The House that Ching Built is something that is special to me. As I near the end of my playing career I now have the possibility of making a positive impact on a third family, which is equally rewarding."
Help Brian and Dynamo Charities fundraise for the 3rd house. Monetary and in-kind donations are welcomed. For more information on how you can help, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Every penny counts. This is what your monetary donations represent:
$10 = Box of nails
$35 = Shingles
$50 = Low-flow toilet
$75 = Window
$100 = Kitchen sink
$150 = Front door
$500 = Exterior siding
$1,000 = Wallboard
$2,000 = Flooring
provides interest free mortgages to qualified first-time homeowners and enables fellow Houstonians to achieve the American dream of home ownership.

I grew up in a family of gun hobbyists. One of my older brother's most treasured Christmas presents from childhood is a rifle that was used in WWII; my dad had a collection of several dozen handguns, shotguns, and rifles, including a semi-automatic AR-15 "assault rifle" and a pearl-plated revolver and holster that he bought with a "Sheriff" badge just for fun; my younger brother is an ex-Marine. Throughout childhood, I spent every weekend of hunting season (and many summer weekends besides) on a West Texas ranch, shooting dove, quail, ducks, and exploding targets attached to grapefruits and ice blocks. And when I went to babysit my niece and nephew for a week in Austin, my brother's first task was to show me where all of the house's handguns were kept and how to open the safes he kept them in.
I don't own a gun myself, and I don't have any plans to get one. But I understand the utility of guns for both recreation and defense. Of course, as a scholar of health law and constitutional law, I also understand how complex the questions are that guns present for public health and individual liberty. But, as usual, my sense is that there is an obviously correct approach to those complex questions: an approach that seeks balance and optimization. A ban isn't the right answer, from a policy or constitutional perspective, but in light of the very real dangers that guns present, neither is a strong Second Amendment bar to regulation. Of course, this view represents the current state of the law in both legislation and Supreme Court precedent; the balanced view is inconsistent only with the debate's heated rhetoric. Here are a few thoughts:

GUNS N' ROSES at 1STBANK CENTER | 12/11/11
Some bands wait until the end of the set or an encore to pull out its most beloved material. Not Guns N' Roses. Two songs into the set, the instantly familiar guitar riff was teased two, maybe three times before Axl Rose cried out, "Do you know where you are? You're in the jungle, baby! You're gonna die!" Yes, GNR had the stones to play the song that broke the band to the world that early in the set. And it was clear there was no lip-synching for it, as some people assumed for other songs in the set, as evidenced by Axl switching up the inflection in lyrics here and there. When he sang the "Feel my, my, my, my serpentine" line, he did his signature dance. As for the rest of the band? Not a bum note, and if anyone had any concern for the show being good or seeing any prima donna antics from stage, those worries proved to be unfounded.
Before Guns took the stage, the lights went out on the venue and an instrumental version of "I'm Your Man," by Leonard Cohen, played through the P.A. Then Dj Ashba was lit up like an icon in front of projection of what had been a red vortex that evolved into the Guns N' Roses logo. The show started off with the title track from Chinese Democracy, and immediately it was a spectacle of colorful projections and fireworks and flame jets and explosions that punctuated the appropriate parts of every song.

After "Welcome to the Jungle" came, the band somewhat unexpectedly went directly into "It's So Easy" with Tommy Stinson supplying backing vocals every bit as expertly as Duff McKagan used to and Dj Ashba's leads, no matter what song he played, were perfectly executed every time even as he put a bit of his own touch on the playing as well. "Mr. Brownstone" came next as a welcome reminder of the strength of the material that happened to be on the act's debut full-length.

Before "Sorry," the words "Guns N Roses" appeared on the projection screens and the crowd chanted along to a cadence in the sequencing. Clearly Sebastian Bach wasn't really on this tour but "Sorry" ended up being a surprisingly strong performance especially with Ashba's melodic yet moody delivery on the leads. Before going into "Shackler's Revenge," Axl asked us how we were doing, and the crowd, to its credit, raised quite a ruckus. Then he said, "You sound good. You sound really fuckin' good!" And somehow it didn't come off as pandering. Throughout the show, it seemed as though Axl was appreciative of the people showing up, and he was gracious with his bandmates as well as the set went on.Eric Gruneisen Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose last night at 1STBANK Center

"Estranged" from Use Your Illusion II never sounded better. "Rocket Queen" with the disjointed visuals of various women focusing on various parts of their bodies seemed appropriate given the subject matter of the song with the end taking an oddly sentimental turn. After the song ended, Axl pointed to the band's bassist and introduced Tommy Stinson, who most people probably know played for The Replacements. But tonight, he sang a cover of "Sonic Reducer" by the Dead Boys, with its reference, of course, to Pere Ubu's "Final Solution." And Tommy made sure to let us know who did the original, seeing as how, unfortunately, the Dead Boys are not a household name.Eric Gruneisen Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose last night at 1STBANK Center
"Better" sounded like some classic older song, but it was another of the solid Chinese Democracy tracks of the whole show. Often ballads seem like a hackneyed songwriting style, but Rose and his band made it sound like something deep felt from an innocent place in the heart that Rose has somehow maintained after all these years. Of course since there's bad blood between the original members of the classic line-up, Axl's surrounded himself with a handpicked cast of musicians. And yet, this line-up didn't feel like just a bunch of hired guns going through the music note by rote. That wouldn't have worked for a show like this.Eric Gruneisen Tommy Stinson (left) and Dj Ashba of Guns N' Roses last night at 1STBANK Center
Axl introduced Richard Fortus and the guitarist did a short solo and went into a cover of the James Bond theme music with some other members of the band. What followed? What else, but the group's excellent cover of "To Live and Let Die." The quickly shifting black and white imagery as the backdrop of the band just emphasized GNR's take on the Wings classic. "This I Love" came after and drove home how Rose, as a songwriter, can take familiar elements of lyrical themes and breathe new life into it all especially in making essentially stripped down rock music into something with just a bit more grandeur and imagination minus some outlandish flight of fancy to go along with it.Eric Gruneisen Richard Fortus of Guns N' Roses last night at 1STBANK Center

All right: that is enough of a nod to the US Navy's decision to eliminate ALL UPPER CASE in its messages. The past is the past and uppercase makes too many waves for sensitive young recruits. On the topic of the established order and its antiquated ways, it was disappointing to see the state of CRM software used for engaging the customer of 2013 and beyond. What is in it? Rows and columns of data, extracted and plopped on a screen, lacking any intelligence, regurgitated information about account, contact, contract value, blah blah and very blah.
Where is the next generation of customer engagement software? Software that is not a pile of stored procedures and database triggers, but truly intelligent, looking for the nexus of customer location, social connections, sentiment, mobile device that they are carrying or the state of the object they are interacting with. Something that is highly contextual that matches the customer's intent – now and in the near future: the knowable but perhaps currently unknown to you – with the intent of the enterprise to win them over and serve them profitably over the long haul?
If you are candid with yourself, this is not the software that your company has procured from any of the core business application vendors. They are largely data regurgitators. Even if they are serving it up faster, in more locations, on more devices, and from the Cloud, it is still clueless about any of the new fundamentals that will guide customer relationships over the next ten years.
What is wrong? I think the Kinks put it best in Give the People What they Want:
Well, it's been said before, the world is a stage
A different performance with every age.
Open up the history book to any old page
Bring on the lions and open the cage.
Give the people what they want
When we stop buying or subscribing to the latest version of the same stuff with a prettier interface, something might improve. However, most of us are gutting our internal IT resources and looking to the skies for help. Or the Cloud.
One point to raise on the issue of current-generation sales and support systems is on the efficacy of outcome from the end-user perspective. Not from an IT perspective and not from the narrow definition of near term shift from Capex to Opex – but from the perspective of: have your employees become more effective and have your customers become more engaged with you and your brand? In the end, would these not be the gating factors to measure software success? Versus: wow, I deployed a Cloud solution.
There is an entire new crop of small startups delivering amazing capabilities in understanding intent, connections, importance/value, location, contextual information needs – and we are writing about them. For now, spend some time imagining how things might be better and look for niche technologies that will be disruptive to something very small in the enterprise. Try lots of little innovation projects with advanced analytical bolt-ons and see the world of new possibilities in customer engagement.

"When we go out, we wear a brimmed hat and long sleeves," he said. "I don't sunbathe, and I stay as far away from indoor tanning beds as possible."

Recently, the boiler will only come on after I go out and hit the re-set button. It then brings the water up to the specifed temp but will not start again on its own (discovered when I wanted a warm shower!) thanks for any help to diagnose this- not looking forward to a 100 buck service call if its something simple |
Follow-Up Postings:
If the burner goes on reset on a regular basis and you aren't an experienced burner tech it could end up costing you much more doing parts replacement on a guess than just calling for service and having it done right. Some problems are very simple to fix and require no parts change, others aren't so simple. Something that you can do yourself that would be of help to a tech would be to watch the burner go through some cycles to determine if it locks out during a long run, if it starts but doesn't fire, it fires but locks out at the end of trial for ignition or if occasionally the burner doesn't start when it should then it just locks out. |
The primary control is causing this. But why? It could be a clogged oil filter, smoky flame, dirty nozzle, an obstruction in the chimney/vent.... When was the last time it was serviced? |

When I first launched Craft Jr earlier this year, I put together a set of Easter finger puppet crafts, and they were a huge hit. So I've decided to make it a tradition to create pipe cleaner finger puppets for every major holiday (wait till you see the turkey one for Thanksgiving – sooo cute!!). I got so carried away last weekend with making this set of Halloween finger puppets that I ended up with too many to fit into one post! So here is the "Halloween Critters" edition, and next week I'll add here is the "Halloween Costumes" finger puppet collection.
I've placed a photograph next to each finger puppet with the exact materials needed for each Halloween Critter. All of them require a very easy to find set of stuff:
Pipe Cleaners
Pom Poms (The pumpkin puppet uses a larger pom pom than the others)
Googly Eyes
Glue (Hot glue gun works best, but I've since discovered that even regular glue will suffice, it just takes longer to dry)
Wire Cutters (So you don't ruin your scissors cutting the pipe cleaners)
The jack o' lantern finger puppet also needs fabric paint (no matter how hard I tried to make the face with other materials, it just looked l.a.m.e.)
Please refer to the original Easter finger puppets post for general assembly instructions.
It explains the general instructions on how to wind the pipe cleaners around your finger and how to attach the pom poms accurately.
Cut black pipe cleaners into 8 pieces about 1 1/2 inch long
Wind the purple finger puppet base
Bend the legs in half slightly and attach 4 on each side to the black pom pom
Glue the small purple pom poms onto the feet of each leg
Glue the spider to the finger puppet base
Glue the googly eyes in place
This is just like the spring kitten finger puppet with black materials
Cut two 1 inch pieces of black pipe cleaner and bend them in a "V" for the ears
Bend a 2 1/2 – 3 inch piece of black pipe cleaner into a lopsided "S" for the tail
Wind the finger puppet base
Glue the ears onto the top of the head, and then add the eyes and nose on the front of the face
Glue the head onto the finger puppet base
Attach the tail to the rear end of the black cat by simply bending one end of it around the bottom coil of the finger puppet base
Cut two 1 inch pieces of black pipe cleaner and bend them in a "V" for the ears
Bend a full piece of black pipe cleaner into the bat wings shape as shown
Pull the ends of the wings pipe cleaner into the middle "V" and wrap them around each other as shown in this image:
Wind the finger puppet base
Glue the ears onto the top of the head, and then add the eyes on the front of the face
Glue the head onto the finger puppet base
Glue the wings onto the back of the bat, or slip them in between the puppet base coils to hold them in place
Strangely, what should have been the easiest puppet to make turned out to be the hardest to get looking right. There just wasn't enough room on medium pom poms to make a good pumpkin face. So then I went to the store again to get big orange pom poms. These gave me the surface needed for the pumpkin face, but the size made them much harder to work with. You'll notice that the finger puppet base on this one is different than the others – instead of winding the top coil slightly tighter, I ended up leaving a 'post' at the top to give the larger pom pom added support for the glue to hold.
I swear this dang pumpkin puppet is my fourth or fifth try – I even started experimenting with it back in April to no avail!
Cut a 3 inch piece of green pipe cleaner and bend it into the shape of a pumpkin stem as shown.
Wind the finger puppet base leaving a 'post' on top to support the large size pom pom.
Glue the stem onto the top of the large orange pom pom, and glue the pom pom onto the finger puppet base. Because the large pom pom is so much more fluffy than the medium ones, you really need to hold it in place until the glue sets.
Paint a jack o' lantern face onto the pom pom with black dimensional fabric paint.
