Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed efforts being undertaken by the Department of Transportation (DOT) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to reduce the number of truck-related fatalities, focusing on: (1) the motor carrier administration's overall strategy for reducing fatalities resulting from crashes involving large trucks; (2) specific actions the motor carrier administration is taking to meet this goal; (3) the extent to which the motor carrier administration has considered additional improvements suggested by the safety community, industry, and others; and (4) the bases for the motor carrier administration's estimates for the expected number of lives to be saved as a result of proposed revisions to its hours of service rules.
GAO noted that: (1) the motor carrier administration has developed an overall strategy for improving the safety of commercial motor vehicles (trucks and buses); (2) this strategy, called the Safety Action Plan, covers the years 2000 through 2003 and contains 47 initiatives that are intended to be an initial step in enabling DOT to reach its goal of reducing fatalities due to crashes involving large trucks by 50 percent by 2009; (3) these initiatives fall within several broad categories, including increasing the enforcement of federal safety regulations, increasing safety awareness, improving safety information and technology, and improving performance standards for vehicles, drivers, and motor carriers; (4) however, DOT has not articulated how the individual initiatives, or sets of initiatives, in the plan will contribute to reductions in truck-related fatalities; (5) in response to the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999, criticisms by congressional subcommittees, and recommendations by DOT's Inspector General, GAO, and others, DOT has taken initial steps toward improving motor carrier safety; (6) these steps include establishing a new organizational structure--the motor carrier administration--that has accountability for truck safety and that supports a greater emphasis on enforcement and compliance; (7) also, DOT appears to be making progress on some of the individual initiatives in its Safety Action Plan; (8) the motor carrier administration sought comments on a draft of its Safety Action Plan from 49 organizations representing industry and the safety community; (9) it also published proposed revisions to its regulations that limit the number of hours that drivers of commercial motor vehicles are permitted to drive before resting; (10) under the proposed rule, DOT estimates that 115 fatigue-related fatalities would be avoided annually; (11) DOT recognizes the uncertainty of its estimates but emphasized that providing drivers with more time for sleep will lessen fatigue and thereby reduce the number of fatigue-related crashes; and (12) the reasonableness of DOT's assumptions and the resulting estimate of the number of lives that could be saved if the proposed rule is adopted, however, are unknown.

Sandy is a great trader. She is very polite, answered all my emails, sent a generous amount and sent them quickly. I would definitely trade with her again. Eileen
Sandy and I were in a swap together and when my package didn't show up she contacted me to ask if she could send me replacement seeds....How sweet is that!
I just got and opened my package and she sent me 25 packets of seeds along with a note saying it won't make up for the lost package but hope it helps.
What a great person and trader!!!!
Thank you Sandy.
I contacted Sandy to see if she would be interested in a pepper seed trade. She had a couple I really wanted and I had a couple on her want list.
She was very sweet and willing to do a trade.
She sent a generous amount, quickly and with extra's.
I enjoyed our trade and would recommend her highly to anyone that gets a chance to trade with her.

This beautiful digital clock was inspired by Furoshiki, Japanese wrapping cloth. Creatd by designer Shiping Toohey in New Zealand, the F.O.clock was designed to be "folded" and "unfolded" to reveal an internal ribbing structure that acts as an internal pattern. I love the idea of interactive design like this- and while the clock is clearly most functional when it's folded together, I still love that it unfolds to reveal something beautiful inside. Click here to read more about Shiping's tessellated clock. xo, grace
Are they in production? Where can I get one?
Wow, that's so neat.
Looking for a store that carries it, but it seems to just be a design model? Anyone else figure out the store for this?
I absolutely love that pattern!:) what a lovely added touch to an everyday item!
I love things like this! So Artistic!!
She's done some pretty neat works,
they are here:
That's a unique clock!
Very nice clock!!

Great Project. I've been reading through all the RIMS threads collecting ideas for my RIMS hex when I came across your thread. It really fits the scope of the project I wanted to take on. I already have the March Pump toolbox from an earlier DYI so that's a bonus.
Do you have a parts list for your project that you wouldn't mind sending me. I'll send you a PM as well.
Again great project it's really going to help my brew set up.
I got the PID and RTD probe from Auber Instruments, auberins.com1 x 1/16 DIN PID Temperature Controller (SSR control output) (SYL-2352) =$44.50
1 x Liquid tight RTD sensor, 2" probe, 1/4 NPT Thread (PT100-L50NPT) =$29.95
You may as well get your 40a SSR and heat sink from them as well, or find a cheaper equivalent on ebay, I already had the SSR and I made a heat sink from apple G5 parts. You really don't need much of a heatsink for this small load, mine never gets warm.
The Stainless Tees, barbs, compression fittings, etc. I got from Bargain Fittings. The RIMS tube's stubs are 3/8" OD so I used two 3/8 in OD tube x 1/2 in NPT (pipe thread) adapters and a 1/2 x 1/4 inch reducing bushing for the RTD probe.http://www.greatbargain.net
The RIMS tube, that may be difficult to source unless freddyb still has some left. It is made by Watlow and I assume he bought them surplus or something. Here is a link to the thread that got my attention http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/35-rims-heater-133208/ I used plumbing strap clamps from home depot and covered them with heat shrink tube to mount it to the wood block. The shrink tube gives it better grip and should prevent from marking up the RIMS heater. Searching by the part # on the element I found this which may help you http://www.midohioresale.com/storepages/tube-heater.htm
The 3/8 OD stubs concerned me but they are short so they don't have too much affect on flow for Mash recirc but when I whirlpool the boil I disconnect the RIMS and use the march pump directly.
I would consider some kind of ventilation for the toolbox, I leave mine cracked open during the mash but I'd prefer some kind of shielded vent.
I admit the block of wood was a last minute necessity because of the shape of the toolbox. Some black paint would do it some good.
This is sweet. It may be my baby step into electric brewing.
very cool, nice project
Do you have a write up of the parts list to make this? I just got my tax return and I'm going RIMS!
The closest thing would be post #32 above. March pump, Auber PID, SSR with heatsink and RTD probe. A couple light switches and a weatherproof cover. A toolbox (find one with flatter sides) and you'll need some fittings for the pump and whatever RIMS tube you can find, this one in particular may not be available, I haven't found any more.
Thanks for the reply. I saw that, but some guys include a sheet. Not complaining, just curious if one was available. I like the portability of this system and I'm going to try an emulate it.

We found Shell Point on the internet through Trip Advisor and we loved it!
We booked a room through their toll free number in a matter of minutes for just $56 total for one night. When we arrived the check in was short ,sweet and the lady at the desk was very helpful.
The room was a nice basic room with 2 queen beds, table, chairs, TV and bathroom. the room was very clean the furnishings in great shape. there was a coffee maker with everything to brew several pots of coffee as well as toiletries in the bath.
there are coin operated laundry facilities, vending machines, and free ice. they have a heated pool, a work out center, bike trails and walking trails. they have several onsite restaurants within walking distance but we did not eat there because they do not allow shorts for dinner and we did not come prepared but everyone raves about the food
the guest house is located at Shell Point Retiremnt Community which is a beautiful full service gated retirement community located on the river just before you head over the bridge to Sanibel.
Its one of the nicest pleaces I have stayed in the area and its very, clean, safe and very attractive. the grounds are beautifully landscaped, clean and scenic
At $56 per day its a bargain compared to Sanibel and Captiva where $125/day is a rare bargain. You can go to the Islands pay the $6 bridge toll, spend the day at the beach and come back to shellpoint for the evening.
It's great bargain and a wonderful place to relax and unwind. We highly recommend Shell Point Guest House.
my only suggestions would be a minifridge for snacks and they should put more info about their restaurants in the rooms so people will be encouraged to use them.

- Shell Point Guest House Hotel Fort Myers

Yahoo! Sports offers a new feature to set your fantasy team lineup for a particular day. It works via a simple URL like so:
If I fill in the parameters and visit the page in a browser it works fine.
If I try and and automate the process (the idea being I can set my lineup for the rest of the season and only tweak as I need to) it doesn't work.
I tried submitting the request using a an AJAX call which returns a non-descriptive error with no response object, as well as a Phantom JS call which returns a successful response though the lineup change has not actually taken effect.
How can I figure out what is missing?
Edit: Here's a look at a sample AJAX request:

When lifelong dreams seem elusive....where will you go?
For as long as she can remember, Christy Davis has dreamed of being a mother, but things haven't worked out the way she imagined them as a young girl. When hopes of getting pregnant seem impossible, she and her husband Matt turn to adoption, but will that be enough to fill their longing for a child?

Solar Panels in New Construction
Hello Everyone...
I am building a new home for the first time and one of the upgrades were for Solar Paneling. Do you think it's a good upgrade and worth it? I am Texas Resident and electricity bills are pretty crazy. Thanks for your help!
Solar for hot water and radiant flooring yes, it is a good upgrade. Insulating the entire envelope is also good. This means the slab also. Using foam insulation is also a good upgrade. As to solar electric; it will not pay for itself unless you have a super efficient house design. Sealing the rock to the studs will seal walls from air leakage. This is not normally done in Texas. From a recent study, using a thermal mass inside of the house with typical insulation in the walls, reduces HVAC bills. Using cf lighting that has insulated cans when in the attic or uninsulated areas also helps.
Like Bob says, the return on investment for a solar hot water system is short and therefore is a no brainer. The return on investment for solar electricity is a LONG time. Consider wind power for electricity
Definitely do the solar hot water. I recommend the evacuated tube systems.

Kate Upton Reveals Her 'Sports Illustrated' Cover
1 of 25
Kate Upton on the cover of the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. (February 2012)
Tags: Kate Upton
Holy Hell she is bangin'
That qualifies as a teeny bikeeni. I think she waxes. :-)
one boob is looking way bigger than the other…especially with her arm being up on that side… creepin me out a bit
19 is a very good year. You go, Kate. World class boobs and hips. Nothing like youth. God bless.
Either she's got really WEIRD boobs, or something is up with this photo. Possibly taken while she was lying down, then shopped to appear standing up. Boobs should not be slopping into the armpit like that.
The swuimsuit is way too small and doesnt do a thing for her.
I 2nd the lying down. Its photoshopped to hell anyway, why didnt they just use one with her actually standing up?
kinda surprised to find any negative comments here….
Seriously! I'm a hetero woman but good lord, she's as close to perfection as I've ever seen. Excuse me while I go flick my bean.
I find it hard to believe a hetero woman would go masturbate to the image of a woman in a bikini.
Seriously. These people might complain about her face or her boobs, but I'm thinking it might just be a defensive mechanism because they'll never even be looked at by a woman 1/10th as hot as Kate Upton.
Great job photoshopping human skin to look like barbie plastic.
meh she kind of has a beat up face
Wow… Photoshop much? That skank looks nothing like that in real life. Too bad they didn't take the time to fix her face.
Where's her dick?
That is a tiny little bikini.
Holy Butterface. Bag it, tag it, release to the wild.
She doesn't have a great WHR like Esti Ginzburg. All she has are boobs, so I can't believe they put Kate on the cover instead of her when Esti is the hotter (and natural) blond. Oh and, when is Damaris Lewis or Jessica Gomes going to get their cover? …just saying. I can't believe she skipped her sunbaes (seniors) like that.

Double suicide bombings kill 37 on Moscow subway

What C++ has always lacked, and PHP, Java and others do not, is a bundle of standard libraries that let you do things like process XML, talk to databases, and make templating EASY.
I agree with you, but there's one small thing I don't get.
Faced with this piece of information, someone thought the logical thing to do was to, er, write an entirely new language?
What? Your logic is circular. PHP did not have standard libraries for XML (etc.) until after it existed, obviously.
PHP was invented as a lightweight server-side preprocessor as an alternative to CGI, not as a general-purpose systems-engineering low-level compiled language.
(I don't disagree with your gist that PHP is not well suited to many of the jobs it's used for today, but I wanted to clarify the history.)
much better than Safari since you can _reattach_ tabs back into the main window
Unless I am misunderstanding you, this is possible in Safari (though potentially inelegant). Tabs can be dragged to, from and between any two tabbed windows. If you have only a single document window, though (i.e. one or no tabs showing, depending on your prefs setting), you must first induce the display of a new tab before being able to drag the principal document.
Furthermore, the parent probably means "couldn't care less", not "could care less" (which implies the exact opposite of his apparent intent).
You posted that like you thought QuickTime is decoding engine, which it's actually an awful cheap media player from the early 90s.
What the hell are you talking about?
Maybe you're thinking of the QuickTime Player application.
I usually think of "cloud applications" as "rain".
While that's a good one, the more on-point question would be about the "on congress" that the 2 library apparently has.
In part, because SDI/HD-SDI provide raw picture, with no anti-consumer anti-copy layering, and The Industry just won't stand for consumers playing with "professional" tools.
(I fully share your lament however)
Then for cripes sake, quit reading Slashdot and do your job then, if that's a problem where you work.
The iPhone, however is a synch [sic] to open
By sheer coincidence, I just read this article today (via Gruber)
(hint: you mean "cinch")
Buy a TV with a DVI input, they do exit (sic).
Wouldn't that be an output?

The Poets Speak
November 20, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
At 92Y's Unterberg Poetry Center, The Paris Review has copresented an occasional series of live conversations with writers—many of which have formed the foundations of interviews in the quarterly. Now, 92Y and The Paris Review are making recordings of these interviews available at 92Y's Poetry Center Online and here at The Paris Review. You can consider them the deleted scenes to the printed interviews, or the director's cuts, or the radio adaptations, or—let's not dwell on it …
The latest editions to the collection are three poets: Maya Angelou, Denise Levertov, and Gary Snyder.
In this recording from 1988, Maya Angelou, who died this past May, speaks to our founding editor, George Plimpton:
I would be a liar, a hypocrite, or a fool—and I'm not any of those—to say that I don't write for the reader. I do. But for the reader who hears, who really will work at it, going behind what I seem to say. So I write for myself and that reader who will pay the dues.
Denise Levertov died in 1997—Kenneth Rexroth called her "the most subtly skillful poet of her generation, the most profound, the most modest, the most moving." Here she speaks to Deborah Digges in 1991:
Where I live in Seattle, I see a good deal more—more sky, more trees. I can see the lake. And from one upstairs window I can see a bit of Mount Rainier—when it's out ... Who would want a mountain that was out all the time? You'd stop seeing it. It's wonderful when it comes and goes.
And Gary Snyder, "the poet laureate of deep ecology," talks to Eliot Weinberger circa 1992:
There's no question that spending time with your own consciousness is instructive. You learn a lot. You can just watch what goes on in your own mind, and some of the beneficial effects are you get bored with some of your own tapes and quit playing them back to yourself.
We owe these recordings to a generous gift in memory of Christopher Lightfoot Walker, who worked in the art department at The Paris Review and volunteered as an archivist at 92Y's Poetry Center.
The Shape of a Life
August 26, 2014 | by Nicole Rudick
Congratulations to Hermione Lee, who has won the 2014 James Tait Black Prize for her biography of the Booker Prize–winning novelist Penelope Fitzgerald. One judge described Lee's biography as "a masterclass in writing of this type … the perfect marriage of an excellent subject and a biographer working at the very top of her game."
Lee was at work on the book during her Art of Biography interview last year: in the course of their conversation, Louisa Thomas discovers a blanket-covered box that contains the Fitzgerald family archive. Though Lee denies having set out to be a "woman writer writing about women writers," she has almost exclusively chosen women authors as her subjects. Still, for a biographer of Woolf, Cather, Wharton, and Bowen, Lee found Fitzgerald to be a special case:
I don't have a theory about Penelope Fitzgerald. I'm deeply interested in the shape of her life, and I'm fascinated by lateness, late starts. She didn't start publishing novels until she was sixty, for a variety of reasons. I feel there was a powerful underground river running through her life. She was a brilliant young woman, and everybody thought she was going to be a writer and she was writing away like mad in her teens and early twenties, and she was the editor of a magazine. And then it all went underground. Meanwhile, she's writing notes in her teaching books, which are a form of apprenticeship, and she's bringing up her family, and she's coping with her husband. And then he dies. And then up it comes, this underground river, at the age of sixty, and she writes thirteen books in twenty years. I don't have a theory about that. Nor do I want to blame anyone. But I want to understand it and show it happening as best as I can.
The complexity of women's lives is, naturally, at the center of Lee's interview, and it's a thread that connects Lee to her subjects intimately. The first woman to hold the Goldsmiths' Chair and the first woman president of Wolfson College, Oxford, she recalls walking across the grass of New College and thinking of Virginia Woolf, who, in trespassing momentarily on the lawn, was chased off by a beadle. As Woolf writes in A Room of One's Own, "Instinct rather than reason came to my help, he was a Beadle; I was a woman. This was the turf; there was the path. Only the Fellows and Scholars are allowed here; the gravel is the place for me."
Lee, however, feeling the benefit of the "strenuous labors of my female predecessors," can stray from the path; she makes a point of walking across the grassy quad, because "I had the right to be there."
Take a Mental Vacation—Listen to Travel Writers
March 24, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
What do Paul Theroux, Ryszard Kapuściński, Peter Matthiessen, and Jan Morris have in common? All four have advanced the art of travel writing, or writing that foregrounds a sense of place. And over the years, all four have been interviewed at 92Y's Unterberg Poetry Center, where The Paris Review has copresented an occasional series of live conversations with writers—many of which have formed the foundations of interviews in the quarterly. Now, 92Y and The Paris Review are making recordings of these interviews available at 92Y's Poetry Center Online and here at The Paris Review.
As yet another cold front shunts frigid air in our direction, it's especially nice to hear smart people talk of exotic climes and faraway places. So you can listen to Paul Theroux, who spoke to our beloved founder, George Plimpton, in December 1989:
I came from, not a small town, but basically not a very interesting place. I felt that the world was elsewhere and that nothing was every going to happen to me, or that I wouldn't actually see anything, feel anything, any sense of romance or action, or that my imagination wouldn't catch fire until I left home. So it was very important for me not to rebel but simply to get away, to go away …
Or a conversation with Jan Morris, who appeared at 92Y that October:
I resist the idea that travel writing has got to be factual. I believe in its imaginative qualities and its potential as art and literature. I must say that my campaign, which I've been waging for ages now, has borne some fruit because intelligent bookshops nowadays do have a stack called something like travel literature. But what word does one use? … I think of myself more as a belletrist, an old-fashioned word. Essayist would do; people understand that more or less. But the thing is, my subject has been mostly concerned with place.
Or Peter Matthiessen, another cofounder of The Paris Review, from 1997:
It's broad daylight, good visibility, yet mountains move. You perceive that the so-called permanence of the mountains is illusory, and that all phenomena are mere wisps of the cosmos, ever changing. It is its very evanescence that makes life beautiful, isn't that true? If we were doomed to live forever, we would scarcely be aware of the beauty around us …
Or Ryszard Kapuściński, from 1991:
If we write about human beings, in the most humanly way we are able to, I think everybody will understand us. I find humanity as one family. People really are very much the same in their reactions, in their feelings. I know the whole world. I can't find much difference in the way men react to others' unhappiness, disasters, tragedies, happiness. Writing for one man, you write for everybody.
These recordings are the next best thing to a vacation. Their release is made possible by a generous gift in memory of Christopher Lightfoot Walker, who worked in the art department at The Paris Review and volunteered as an archivist at 92Y's Poetry Center.
Interviewing Dame Iris
December 13, 2013 | by James Atlas
The other day we shared recordings of Garrison Keillor, William Styron, and Iris Murdoch as part of an ongoing collaboration with 92Y's Unterberg Poetry Center. Since 1985, the Poetry Center and The Paris Review have copresented an occasional series of onstage conversations—many of which have ended up as part of our published Writers-at-Work interviews—and we'll be sharing more of these recordings in the months to come. Meanwhile, here is James Atlas on what it was like to interview Iris Murdoch on February 22, 1990. This essay is also part of 75 at 75, a special project for the Poetry Center's seventy-fifth anniversary that invites contemporary authors to listen to a recording from the Poetry Center's archive and write a personal response.
I have known three charismatic writers in my life: Philip Roth, Robert Lowell, and Iris Murdoch. (A fourth, Saul Bellow, was what might be called anticharismatic, by his own choice; he didn't mind attention, but he liked to keep his self to himself.) And there is one venue that I would describe as charismatic if an auditorium can be defined that way: the 92nd Street Y. Every major writer in the English-speaking (or I should say -writing) world has spoken there. I myself have seen—and, more importantly, heard—Joseph Brodsky, Joyce Carol Oates, John Irving, Gore Vidal, Bellow (on several occasions), and many others I can't remember. So when I was invited to interview Dame Iris on the occasion of a visit in the winter of 1990, it wasn't exactly a hard sell. In fact, it would turn out to be one of the great literary experiences of my own life.
I use her title with great reluctance because I did know Iris Murdoch, having spent time with her in Oxford a few years earlier for a Vanity Fair profile. This was no doubt the reason why the Y had thought of me in the first place for a live Writers-at-Work interview cosponsored by The Paris Review. As famous as she was, Murdoch did not have a large following in America, and there may have been a limited pool of interlocutors capable of introducing her before the kind of sophisticated New York audience that tended to show up at the Y.
She was a gentle soul, soft-spoken, and almost willfully self-effacing. When I first met her at Oxford, at a friend's Sunday brunch, she had grilled me about my own life—my family, my children, my education, books written, books not written, before she had even figured out that I was the man from America who had come all that way to interview her. I was nervous about the very public forum of the Y anyway; how was I supposed to sit there on stage in front of nine hundred people and ask—for instance—about her forbidding work of philosophy, Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals? I hit upon a rather craven solution: "I'm just going to ask you one question, Iris, and then you speak for an hour."
As I listen to this recording now, I discover with relief that she was anything but forbidding. She was modest. When I asked her what she thought she had achieved—remember, she was over seventy at this point and had long been considered one of the most important writers in England—she answered, with complete sincerity, "I haven't achieved anything yet." She was profound without sounding that way, or, I suspect, even knowing that she was: "Live in the present. It's what you think you can do next that matters." And she was funny: "The thing about the theater is, why do people stay there? Why don't they just get up and go?" But the most valuable thing I learned from Dame Iris Murdoch that evening was about the relationship between art and humility. "One is always discontented with what one has done," she said. "One always hopes to do better." To be satisfied with one's work was to misunderstand the very nature of creativity.
Toward the end of our hour, she gave the audience—or was it just me this was intended for?—a piece of advice: "It's a good idea to know about something." "I'll keep that I mind," I quipped. There was laughter in the auditorium, and I realize now that knowing about Iris Murdoch—even the little I knew—had been a good idea.
James Atlas is the founding editor of the Lipper/Viking Penguin Lives Series. A longtime contributor to The New Yorker, he was an editor at The New York Times Magazine for many years. His work has appeared in The New York Times Book Review, The New York Review of Books, The London Review of Books, Vanity Fair, and many other journals. He is the author of Delmore Schwartz: The Life of an American Poet, which was nominated for the National Book Award.
Listen to Garrison Keillor, Iris Murdoch, and William Styron!
December 10, 2013 | by Sadie Stein
This is exciting, and something we've had in the works for a long time.
Since 1985, 92Y's Unterberg Poetry Center and The Paris Review have copresented an occasional series of live conversations with writers—many of which became the foundation of a Writers-at-Work interview. As of today, 92Y and The Paris Review are making these recordings available at 92Y's Poetry Center Online and here at The Paris Review. The release of these recordings is made possible by a generous gift in memory of Christopher Lightfoot Walker, who worked in the art department at The Paris Review and volunteered as an archivist at 92Y's Poetry Center.
The online series kicks off with audio of Garrison Keillor on the secrets of humor writing; Iris Murdoch on what makes a great book; and William Styron on the future of the written word. The series also happily features George Plimpton, the late, great founder of The Paris Review, conducting many of the interviews.
Stand by in the coming months for audio of John le Carré, Arthur Miller, Norman Mailer, Octavio Paz, Günter Grass, Paul Auster, Tony Kushner, Czeslaw Milosz, Maya Angelou, Jamaica Kincaid, and Allen Ginsberg, among others.
Weapons of Mass Instruction
November 11, 2013 | by Sadie Stein
I took my basic training on the 240-millimeter howitzer.
A rather large weapon.
The largest mobile fieldpiece in the army at that time. This weapon came in six pieces, each piece dragged wallowingly by a Caterpillar tractor. Whenever we were told to fire it, we had to build it first. We practically had to invent it. We lowered one piece on top of another, using cranes and jacks. The shell itself was about nine and a half inches in diameter and weighed three hundred pounds. We constructed a miniature railway which would allow us to deliver the shell from the ground to the breech, which was about eight feet above grade. The breechblock was like the door on the vault of a savings and loan association in Peru, Indiana, say.
It must have been a thrill to fire such a weapon.
Not really. We would put the shell in there, and then we would throw in bags of very slow and patient explosives. They were damp dog biscuits, I think. We would close the breech, and then trip a hammer which hit a fulminate of mercury percussion cap, which spit fire at the damp dog biscuits. The main idea, I think, was to generate steam. After a while, we could hear these cooking sounds. It was a lot like cooking a turkey. In utter safety, I think, we could have opened the breechblock from time to time, and basted the shell. Eventually, though, the howitzer always got restless. And finally it would heave back on its recoil mechanism, and it would have to expectorate the shell. The shell would come floating out like the Goodyear blimp. If we had had a stepladder, we could have painted "Fuck Hitler" on the shell as it left the gun. Helicopters could have taken after it and shot it down.
The ultimate terror weapon.
Of the Franco-Prussian War.
—Kurt Vonnegut, the Art of Fiction No. 64

Introduction: Yesterday, I wrote about Custom View Engine in ASP.NET 5 (vNext) and MVC 6 with Dynamic View Location, but David Fowler told me that there is another much better and easy way to do this using a new feature in ASP.NET 5 and MVC 6 called view location expander. View location expander can be used to determine paths for a view and it is used by RazorViewEngine. This feature makes it very easy to add dynamic view location paths in your application while maintaining the view location cache. In
this article, I will show you how to add view location expander feature in your application Description: Let's create an ASP.NET 5 web application (note that I am using beta3 at the time of writing).

Robert Schwerin
June 8, 1920 — Nov. 21, 2013
Robert Stanley Schwerin was born June 8, 1920, in Ritzville, Wash., the son of Charles August and Etta Studley Schwerin. Bob graduated from Ritzville High School and studied engineering at Washington State University. During World War II, Bob joined the Boeing Corporation as an engineer and was part of the team that designed and built the B-17 bomber. While at WSU, he met Frances Rea of Walla Walla. They married in Walla Walla on Feb. 14, 1942. Bob and Fran returned to Walla Walla to help Fran's parents, Greene and Myrtle Rea, on their farm near Dixie, forming the Rea-Schwerin Farm partnership and raising three sons, Larry, Bill and Don.
A lifelong farmer, Bob worked alongside his crews and his boys during pea and wheat harvest. His engineering background and commitment to smart innovation was always put into use on the farm, improving machinery and processes for greater efficiency. In the 1970s, Bob's process for enhancing the part of a combine responsible for separating grain from chaff became a manufacturing business, Schwerin Concaves, that served farmers throughout the U.S. and Canada. After his retirement from active farming and manufacturing, Bob continued to design equipment, deliver parts around the Northwest and represent the company at agricultural trade shows across the United States.
Bob was a visionary leader, skilled at bringing people together around issues, and his commitment to improvement and innovation did not stop at the farm. As one of the founding members of the Washington Association of Wheat Growers, he helped to build an organization that successfully represents growers to this day in both Washingtons. He was also a founder of the Oregon-Washington Pea Growers' Association and a founding director of Agri-Enterprises, Inc., an entity dedicated to agricultural research and pea harvesting equipment adaptation. Bob was elected to the Washington Wheat Commission in the 1980s, serving as president for two years, and was the commission's delegate to the U.S. Wheat Growers' Association, where he advocated on behalf of the wheat industry at the national level. His knowledge of and experience in agriculture was routinely consulted by elected officials, and he was a regular district-level adviser to U.S. Reps. Catherine May and Tom Foley. To ensure generations of strong agricultural leaders, Bob was a founder of the Washington Ag Forestry program, an intensive two-year leadership development program with a focus on public policy advocacy for young men and women working in agriculture, timber and related industries. His leadership was present in other organizations as well, including the United Way, St. Paul's Episcopal Church, the Dixie School Board, 4-H, and the Walla Walla Rural Library.
Bob will be remembered as a gentleman who brought everyone to the table. He was someone people regularly turned to when a difficult point had to be made in a gracious manner. He was a man of vision who used his skills and abilities to make a lasting difference in many ways. His family remembers him as the most loving and supportive man in the world who was always there for them, always actively engaged in their interests, and always asking the tough questions with respect and dignity.
Bob is survived by Frances, his wife of 71 years. He is survived by his sons and their spouses, Larry and Carol Schwerin of Hansville, Wash., Bill and Lynda Schwerin of Walla Walla and Don and Anne-Marie Schwerin, also of Walla Walla; four grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and two nieces. He was preceded in death by his brother, Don Schwerin; and sister, Virginia Brown.
Funeral service will be Saturday, Nov. 30, 2013, at 11 a.m. at St. Paul's Episcopal Church. Visitation without viewing on Monday, Nov. 25, 2013, and Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2013, from 1 – 5 p.m. at Herring Funeral Home. Memorial contributions may be made to Walla Walla Community Hospice, St. Paul's Episcopal Church, the YWCA of Walla Walla, or Washington Ag Forestry Foundation through Herring Funeral Home, 315 W. Alder, Walla Walla, WA 99362. Family and friends are invited to sign the online guest book at www.herringgroseclose.com.

Director General of Police (DGP) Jacob Punnoose has said he was yet to come across any Intelligence Bureau report suggesting that the State was fast turning into a recruitment hub of terrorists.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a consultation on police reforms organised by the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative here on Monday, Mr. Punnoose said the State police had prior information about the Dalit Human Rights Movement. Whether that organisation had any terrorist links was now being inquired into, he said. The DGP, however, said that nothing more could be revealed at this stage of the investigation.
Mr. Punnoose said the investigation was being held in right earnest into the explosion that rocked the Ernakulam district collectorate in July.
Earlier, inaugurating the convention and delivering a the talk on the topic 'Towards better policing in Kerala', Mr. Punnoose said 20 per cent of the policemen at the lowest level were leaving the force and taking up jobs as excise guards despite the salary offered being less by almost Rs. 2,000 in comparison to what they received in the department.
He noted that Kerala was the only State where an association for the police officials had been operating for the last 30 years. This, he felt, has helped to curb to a certain extent, instances of collective indiscipline.
The DGP observed that the police was not being able to intervene effectively in containing crimes like money laundering and called for a new law to remedy the situation.
He said political interference in policing was a national phenomenon and was not restricted to the State alone. Mr. Punnoose said contrary to public perception, the police department took maximum internal disciplinary action. DGP said that efforts were on to improve the functioning of women police stations. He said majority of the complaints involving women were dowry-related on which the police were in a position to take limited action only.
He reminded that the State police was the first to introduce community policing in the State. Mr. Punnoose said the law and order situation in the State was normal and compared to the 70's incidents of murder, had come down drastically.

kitchen plan, looking for comments
We are building a new house and wanted to run by our kitchen layout to everyone here.
The house is going on a slab, so we hope to get things close to right the first time, although I know that is asking a lot.
We aren't sure about the location of the stove top. We really want it on the island, but think it should maybe be shifted to the right so it sits at an angle behind the raised bar. The problem is that it significantly shrinks the prep room next to the bar sink. Also, the plans show downdraft, but we will probably have a hood vent.
Also not included is the wall oven that will be on the far left next to the entrance to the mudroom/laundry.
Thanks in advance!
I wouldn't want a stove with only 6" between it and open floor, people, etc. The angled spot would be better, as you suggest. How about putting the prep sink, then, where the stove is now? It's not as accessible to that counter by the fridge, but nicer for prep and cooking.
Are you sold on the angled, odd-shaped island?
You're really set on an island stove? In this kitchen, I'd want the stove where the window is, with windows to each side, and the fridge on that back wall to the left of where the dishwasher is shown. Then the cleanup area where the fridge run is, and a nice, big rectangular island for prepping and serving. It would all be beautiful from the great room with the range/hood and island as focal points.
I really like your suggestions. No, we are not completely sold on the stovetop being on the island, but it seemed like a logical spot with the prep sink and fridge locations. I really want the main prep area and sink, wherever that may be, facing the great room. We thought about continuing the bar section of the island to go behind the stovetop to give it some separation. But this will reduce the area of the already small breakfast nook.
I am gonna draw it up like you suggest and see what that looks like.
So the sink would go next to where the fridge is now?

All My Sons
All My Sons Morality and Ethics Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Act.Line). Every time a character talks counts as one line, even if what they say turns into a long monologue.
Quote #4
Keller: I want him to know, Annie… while he's sitting there I want him to know that when he gets out he's got a place waitin' for him. It'll take his bitterness away. To know you got a place… it sweetens you. (2.158)
So what do you think: How much of this is Joe truly reaching out to his old colleague? How much of it is Joe covering his tracks?
Quote #5
Mother: While you were getting mad about Fascism Frank was getting into her bed.
George: He won the war, Frank. (2.372-3)
Like Chris, George comes back disillusioned from the war. Faced with the banal reality of late '40s America, they can't understand what they were fighting for in the first place.
Quote #6
George: [to Ann] He simply told your father to kill pilots, and covered himself in bed! (2.485)
George seems to react more strongly to the betrayal of his father than to the original crime of shipping bad parts.

The astonishing nature of the results does cause a deep and perhaps necessary skepticism in scientific-minded people, and there have also been many editors of journals who have shown reluctance in accepting a paper for publication. Caution in this area is understandable, but sometimes the reasons cited lack substance and appear to be manufactured excuses for steering clear of the field.It is apparent that courage is also necessary before the data is considered seriously. As the numbers of experiments continue to increase in many different fields, we anticipate that a lot of this skepticism will give way to more healthy discussions.

Weekly planner part
Like the weekly planner feature but don't like how when you type the text it won't fit into the space correctly. Might be better for both sides of the paper to take up one week and allow Saturday and Sunday to have more space than the weekdays.
Like it overall but I find myself struggling to figure out what I need to click on to do what I want to do. Needs improvement but a good start.
And if you are typing and want to insert a line of text between two lines that are already there, it would be nice if you could have the rest of the text shift down. Additionally, would be nice if you could drag and drop some written text from one part of the journal to the other.
Perfect for me
The fact that the app is free is why I'm giving it 5 stars instead of 4 1/2. It gets stuck sometimes on typing and I have to reboot the app, but other than that absolutely love it, extremely user friendly. The only thing that
I would like is to be able to pick different book covers. I have purchased many writing apps before and this one beats all of them. Thanks moleskine :)
Needs a major update.
This app is okay but it's not Siri compatible and it has a tendency to crash every few minutes which can lead to lost work. It's a great app for what it isbut it's just not compatible with voice to chat technology or doesn't have any of the features of the keyboard the Apple features now. Once those are implemented in the app Stocks crashing it'll be absolutely perfect.

Reeling U.S. troops did a U-turn under Matthew Ridgway in Korea. View Enlarged Image
Matthew Ridgway had enough of military life growing up on bases.
He had no plans to enter West Point, but did so to please his dad.
It's a good thing he did.
Ridgway was one of only two Americans in the 20th century to make the list in William Weir's "50 Military Leaders Who Changed the World," for beating back the communists in the Korean War.
Ridgway (1895-1993) was born in Fort Monroe, Va. His father was an artillery battalion commander, and the family moved frequently.
Aiming to please his dad, Matthew studied for entry into the U.S. Military Academy. He failed the math test, but after a few weeks of cramming he received an almost perfect grade in 1913.
Commissioned an Army second lieutenant four years later, he was disappointed to be assigned to teach Spanish at the very college he had graduate from rather than hit the World War I front in Europe.
"I felt that the soldier who would have no share in this last great victory of good over evil would be ruined," he recalled.
He wasn't. Soon came orders to serve in China, Nicaragua and the Philippines. Returning to America, he pursued more education, all the while reading up on military history. By 1939 he was a colonel with the War Plans Division, giving Gen. George Marshall, the Army chief of staff, his daily briefing.
Ridgway was on the fast track, rocketing to two-star general within three years. As a major general he took over the 82nd Airborne Division in August 1942, half a year into America's World War II entry.
Until then, the 82nd was an infantry unit and Ridgway had never parachuted. He promptly oversaw its conversion, putting his men through intense physical training, and in 90 days had them jumping.
Ridgway had an extraordinary memory, rattling off the names of as many as 5,000 of his men, even years after he met them. This gave each soldier a sense that the commander cared for them.
The first big test for Ridgway's 82nd came in July 1943 when they parachuted into Sicily with the Allied invasion. Before the assault on mainland Italy two months later, he protested plans for unnecessary, hazardous drops, so these were canceled, although the 82nd did participate in the Italian campaign.
For the June 1944 invasion of Normandy in northern France, Ridgway helped plan the airborne aspects of it and jumped with his troops, then fought a month straight in the Cherbourg region.

Albert Schweitzer was already famous as a musician and author when, at 30, he gave it all up to become a physician in Africa. In 1905, Europe regarded it as the Dark Continent for its danger, disease and perceived ignorance, and his family, friends and colleagues thought he was crazy to go there. ...

Santa and Snow in May
Since it wants to keep snowing here and look like Christmas, I painted a santa last night.LOL Not sure what I want to paint on the top. Maybe some saying? Any ideas?
I really like your santa! What about painting some snowflakes around it?
Punk, this is a great shape for wood. Your hat color (is it Bahama Blue?) is very pretty. I wouldn't add any wording because there really isn't enough space but the snowflakes sounds really nice. And you know how crazy I am about that Krylon gold leaf pen - it would make a nice border around the routed edge.
Belle, right on. I'll have to paint fancier ones if I paint for you.LOL
Luvs and Anj, thanks and glad you like the SF that glow.
Ann, thanks for your comment and suggesting painting SF. Also appreciate you letting me know I didn't over due on the SF.
KM, thanks and I'm glad you like how the project was finished.

Arrows fly, hearts are saved
Like most brothers and sisters out there John and Evelyn Sandstede are competitive. Whenever they can, the two try to one-up each other.
That's why Evelyn likes the archery class she's taking at Lighthouse Community Church -- she's better than her little brother. She hits the yellow center of the target pretty often. Whereas, his arrows tend to stray.
"I even hit the sign once," John said sheepishly. The sign is about a foot right and foot high of the target.

How Long Before Orange Trumpet Vine Blooms?
I've a bunch of this growing alongside the house- It's big and bushy and healthy and climbing but it isn't blooming- This is an trumpet vine is it not? Or something that looks like it?
This post was edited by mum_mum on Sun, Jul 28, 13 at 10:39
I took cuttings off my stepmother's vine several years ago. After it had rooted and been planted out, it just sat there. After awhile I forgot it was there and wasn't doing anything in that area; it even got mowed over by accident! Last year I noticed it was still alive, and thought I'd move it to another location. Forgot it again. This summer I was walking some friends through our garden and remembered the vine. We went to see if it was still there and was shocked to see that it was not only still there, it had crept to the fence and twined up it, and was getting ready to bloom! Anyway, my bet is yours will bloom next year - cross your fingers!

ADILABAD: As it coincided with the ongoing struggle for Telangana, the ten day festival of Moharram that culminated on December 28 in Adilabad came laced with 'separatist' flavour. Not only did the installation of 'sawaris' proliferate this time but the content of celebrations too reflected local people's desire for Telangana.
A typical sawari is made of several dhattis (cloth offering) hung from the round and wide top of a wooden pole and adorned with sehras (the bridegrooms veil made of paper flowers in this instance). The sawaris, installed for the 10 day period traditionally at designated places like sawari bunglows, represent holy men with whom the festival is connected.
Moharram celebrations at many villages like Ruyyadi, Tamsi, Kapparla and Bandalnagapur, all in Talamadugu mandal, incorporated some changes this year.
Separate Telangana formed the theme of the 'veshalu', the popular comic shows, which are part of the Moharram celebrations in the rural areas.
Separate Telangana being the only issue of discussion in the region at this time, it is understandable that the themes of veshalu revolve around this topic only. For the first time, the organisers also roped in the services of local 'Burra Katha' artistes to sing in their way songs related with the need for a separate State. Pro-Telangana activists made a beeline to the rural venues.
