People still seem to be making their way to restaurants to eat, just maybe not with the same appetites.
"They [the restaurants] all seem to be doing well," Shelby Development Corporation Director Eileen Collins said. "I think everybody has been hit by the recession, but I think everyone is holding their own."
Many Shelbyville restaurants say they are hanging on the same way their customers are -- with careful money management.
Mike Casey, one of Shelby County's most famous citizens, died Thursday after a long battle with heart disease. He was 60.
To say that the locally produced independent film "Clancy" did well in its opening weekend would be putting it lightly.
"It did extremely well. We were having to turn people away Friday and Saturday night because it was packed," said Melanie Scott, assistant manager of the Apex Village 8 Theater in Louisville. "This has been one of our biggest openings in a long time."
I was singing that beloved Easter ditty "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" to my 2-year-old daughter the other day. She thought it was just great, especially when I inserted her and her brother's names into the lyrics, and she sang along in much better key than mine.
As I listened to her, I realized that this was one of the few Easter songs I even knew. We had to repeat it to keep going. There was no Bing Crosby CD to mimic. This was it for a 2-year-old.
Thieves took an area convenience store for thousands of dollars on Wednesday, police say.
Maj. Danny Goodwin with the Shelbyville Police Department said five or six Hispanic males were involved in the scheme.
The group cashed several fake payroll checks at the Convenient Food Mart on U.S. 60, checks that police say were made out to look like they came from area businesses.
They looked real, but they had the wrong date and some misspellings as well. The suspects also used fake I.D.s to cash them.
The Triple S Commission's decision to reduce the number of meetings it will have for the remainder of the year was not met with open arms by local surveyors and engineers Tuesday night.
Members of the commission approved an amendment to the Commission Bylaws, Article V, Sections 1 and 4 that requires the commission to meet at least six times a year, and adopted a revised calendar for the rest of this year.
After her team's 1-2 trip to the round-robin tournament at Owensboro Apollo last weekend, SCHS softball Coach Kelly Cable is at a loss.
The Lady Rockets started the season 4-0 but now have lost three of their last four, scoring just two runs in the three losses combined.
"I can't figure it out," Cable said. "I know the talent is here, and I know what these girls are capable of, but I can't figure out how to get it out of them."
Martinrea Heavy Stamping officials said in a statement Tuesday that union workers have rejected proposals by plant officials.
Employees had voted in early March to reopen negotiations to try to reach a more competitive collective bargaining agreement as a step to save the struggling plant.
Martinrea, which supplies the auto industry, primarily Ford sport-utility vehicles, has been struggling with the downturn of the economy.
A day or two after we landed on Guam, at about 11:30 p.m. on July 25, 1944, those of us at the Command Post that had been established at the base of the steep cliff near the beaches, heard a cacophony of machine-gun fire and explosive bursts coming from the top of the cliff.
Shelbyville Police Reports
Rene Benito Garcia, 27, of Shelbyville, was arrested April 2 on Old Mount Eden Road and charged with DUI, no operator's license, expired registration and no insurance.

How long might my boiler last?
Hi everyone! I have a home built in 1900 into which a 2 pipe steam system was retrofit in the 20's. Other than the boiler which is a Burnham the system is original. The Burnham boiler was installed in 1985 and we had it inspected and a new water cut-off thingy (where it turns the boiler off if it is empty) installed in 2002. We routinely add and draw water out of the system to drain rust and yuck when the system runs in the winter but do nothing in the summer maintenance-wise.
When we had it looked at in 2002 the guy said that it looked like new and there wasn't much we needed to do to maintain such a system. Here it is 10 years later and I thought I'd check back in with some of you who may know and ask if there is anything we should be doing to prolong the life of our system.
This has cropped up on me b/c a plumber was here for something else and he told me that if we did have to get a new boiler we could no longer get one that worked when the power was out as ours now does since it is a termopile? thermocouple? type. That is of great concern to me since we usually have power outages in the winter when snow and ice down the lines (I live in Mass.)
HVAC is not my trade. I have often suspected that fresh water is one of the places that a boiler gets additional oxygen to create additional rust. If a boiler was sealed so that no air could get in, and no water was ever added, it would seem that the only rust would be from the dissolved oxygen in the initial water fill and after that oxygen is captured in rust, no additional rusting would occur. But boilers apparently are not sealed.
If there is no power, then how will the thermostat turn on the boiler when there is a call for heat?
"We routinely add and draw water out of the system to drain rust and yuck "
You should try to NEVER add or remove water form a sealed hot water system.
Evey time you add new water it brings another load of oxygen to add to corrosion, and nitrogen to form bubbles in the system.
The old water may be stinky and look bad, but it has been de-oxygeneted and cannot cause any more rusting, and dissolved nitrogen has come out of solution.
You bleed out the nitrogen, and add some new water.
After a few cycles you do not add enough new water to release significant nitrogen.
From that point on the system just runs and should be left alone.
You do not need to do anything when it is not being used except make sure it never freezes.
It probably also has some oil in it from any circulation pump you are using. The oil will not hurt anything, and is just from bearing seals leaking.
One of the ways to 'clean' gasses and fluids is called 'gettering.'
A chemical (the 'getter') is placed in the sealed system to react with and remove the offending item.
Boilers do it by default.
Any oxygen in the water forms rust, and the oxygen is no longer available for further corrosion.
My steam system is two pipe so I have one air vent in the basement by the boiler to purge the air out of the system until it comes up to full pressure.
Yes I must add water periodically as the system is not closed, at which time I draw water out.
My thermostat runs on batteries and kicks the heat off regardless of the power being on/off.
Thanks for the replies, does anyone know the lifespan of such a beast as this boiler? What may I reasonably expect to pay to replace it were it to die? It seems simple so maybe it is indefinitely repairable?
I would expect a boiler to last 25 - 30 years.
Your thermostat may have a battery in it, but I doubt it powers the control to your boiler.
Try this experiment. Shut off the main breaker in the house, and then push the thermostat up and see if the boiler fires.
Well I learned something new today. There are furnaces and thermostats which operate on a millivolt system. The gas pilot heats up a thermopile in the furnace which creates a 0.7V DC voltage source. This powers the thermostat during a blackout. I assume the battery in the thermostat is powering the clock and any programmable functions.
Manufacturers have eliminated the standing pilot flame in order to achieve higher efficiency ratings. So if you ever had to replace the boiler, you would need to provide some other means of a electric supply backup. It is unfortunate since your present system is simple and reliable.
I grew up in a house with a one pipe steam system. Every spring I would flush the boiler until the water was clean. This kept the water in the sight glass crystal clear. Keep the water level in the proper range and the boiler should last for many years. It is difficult to say how much a replacement would be. I would expect a new boiler would be in the $4000 - $6000 range. I have no experience with boiler repair, so I can't advise you whether if it is even feasible.
Hi Joslin, We also have an old house with radiator heat. I think it is the best kind of heat. Very warm. Any way, we got a new boiler a few years ago - maybe 3 yrs. It cost $6,000 or $6,800 installed.(I can't remember exactly). It is a Dunkirk. I am sure we tried to do tons of research on boilers before we bought it, but I think that was very expensive. Our house is only 1800 sq ft. At the time all the advice I found on the internet said a boiler should cost between 2k and 4k if I remember correctly, but we could not find any at that price. (NY suburb - everything seems to be more expensive here!)
Our old boiler was 30 years old and still working, but we figured it was at the end of useful life and was somewhat inefficient, and had to be repaired the year before, so we thought it was time to replace it. We used to have a pilot light and never had to worry about the heat going off if there was a power outage. It was great. Now, if there is no electricity, there is no heat. There is also supposed to be a thing that controls the water level, but it does not work, so my husband has to check the water level every day or two. Every once in a while the heat goes off, since the water dissapears. We need to have them come back again for like the 10th time but keep putting it off. I sometimes wish we had never replaced it. Keep your old boiler for as long as you can!

YouTube Expected To Reach Profitability
YouTube is expected to make a profit this year with revenue that has more than doubled each year for the last three years, The New York Times reported on Friday.
The Google-owned video-sharing site is expected to earn revenue of 450 million dollars this year, most likely because of the rise in advertising found on YouTube. Although Google doesn't release figures for YouTube, which it bought for 1.65 billion dollars in 2006, senior executives have suggested recently that it is near profitability.
The newspaper reported that anonymous analysts said this would be the year that YouTube will turn the corner and start making money.
YouTube has been slowly adding new content to its popular video-sharing site, including full-length TV shows and feature films to its vast sea of amateur videos in an attempt to attract more advertising dollars.
"YouTube is a big component of our display (advertising) revenue, and display is our next big business," Google chief executive Eric Schmidt said in an interview with The New York Times.
Schmidt said he asked YouTube's management team about 18 months ago to start focusing on revenue. He said the strategy had been to amass "an audience first, then figure out the tools that will create the revenue."
There is talk of YouTube being in negotiations with Hollywood film studios to launch a global pay-per-view video service by the end of 2010.
The service would stream videos rather than have viewers download them and newer movies would cost about five dollars. New movies would also be available at the same time as their release on DVD, according to Britain's Financial Times.

stair stringer problem
ctraiderfanOctober 1, 2013
My deck currently has the first step at the same height as the deck surface. I want to change that to the configuration I see online (stepping down to the first step)
However, there are those in power who would like the steps to remain as they are. Why would someone build stairs like that? (as above). If I must rebuild them as they are now are there any special "tricks" to measuring etc.

Jockey Joe Talamo has gained the mount on Lewis Michael, one of the leading contenders in the inaugural running of the $1 million Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile, which takes place Oct. 26 at Monmouth Park.
Agent Ronnie Ebanks confirmed that Talamo, a 17-year-old Louisiana native now based in Southern California, would handle the riding chores on Lewis Michael, who is coming off a fourth-place finish in Oak Tree's Goodwood Breeders' Cup (gr. I) over the Cushion Track surface at Santa Anita. The Dirt Mile is contested at one mile and seventy yards.
Lewis Michael races for the Illinois connection of owner/breeder Frank Calabrese and trainer Wayne Catalano. The 4-year colt by Rahy--Justenuffheart (by Broad Brush) won Arlington Park's Washington Park Handicap (gr. II) on Polytrack July 28 by nearly five lengths in his start prior to the Goodwood. He had been ridden in both races by E.T. Baird.
"We think Lewis Michael is very, very live for this race," Ebanks said. "He probably should have won the Goodwood, but he had to chase a :22 opening quarter and got a little tired after leading in the stretch. We think he'll do much better here."
Talamo also rides undefeated Nashoba's Key in the $2 million Emirates Airline Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf (gr. IT).

text: Physics Seminars will nominally be scheduled for Tuesdays at 2:30 pm in Optics Building Room 234. Coffee and cookies will be available 15 minutes prior to the start of each seminar. Schedule Upcoming Seminars Schedule for Spring 2015 Tuesday, January 13, 2015 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM High recognition specificity remote sensing of chemical vapor using IR/THz double resonance spectroscopy Dr. Henry Everitt (AMRDEC) Molecular rotational motion is quantized, just as its vibrational and electronic states are quantized. Molecular rotational energy levels depend sensitively on the shape of the molecule and the masses of the constituent atoms. As a result, gas phase molecular rotational transitions, whose wavelengths are in the milIimeter and sub-millimeter region, provide signatures that allow chemical identification with exquisite selectivity. This tutorial will review the basics of molecular spectroscopy, then explore its application for chemical sensing. Specifically, a new double resonance spectroscopic technique will be described that exploits this remarkable specificity for remote chemical sensing. The technique overcomes intrinsic limitations of atmospheric attenuation and collisional broadening that have hindered other approaches. The hardware requirements and challenges for constructing such a spectrometer will be described. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, January 20, 2015 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM From supermassive black holes to the large-scale structure of the Universe Dr. Norbert Werner (KIPAC/Stanford) I will present recent observational results on the nature and origin of the multi-phase interstellar medium (ISM) in giant elliptical galaxies, and its role in galaxy evolution and in fueling the central supermassive black holes. Our results show that the cold gas in these systems is produced chiefly by thermally unstable cooling from the hot phase, and that active galactic nuclei are likely to play a crucial role in clearing giant elliptical galaxies of their cold gas, keeping them 'red and dead'. Then I will 'zoom out' to the outskirts of galaxy clusters where we also find hints that supermassive black holes played an important role in the distant past. Suzaku observations reveal a remarkably homogeneous distribution of iron out to the virial radius of the nearby Perseus Cluster, requiring that most of the metal enrichment of the intergalactic medium occurred before the cluster formed, probably more than ten billion years ago, during the period of maximal star formation and black hole activity. Finally, I will talk about the upcoming Astro-H mission which will revolutionize X-ray spectroscopy and our understanding of the dynamics of the intra-cluster medium. Presentation ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, January 27, 2015 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Night Vision Goggle Performance and Bottlenose Dolphin Vision Mr. Andre Rivamonte (USATA Metrology Engineering Division, AMSAM-TMD-LW) Night Vision Goggle Performance and Bottlenose Dolphin Vision GEN III Night vision goggles (NVG) and the dolphin eye are more similar than different. Both are fixed focus, monochromatic, very light sensitive, similar in resolution and highly adapted for their intended use. However, while NVGs are well understood and characterized, the dolphin eye is not. Techniques used to determine resolution and sensitivity of Army NVGs and dolphin vision will be reviewed. Both optical systems are complex and sophisticated. With an image intensifying micro channel plate accounting for the high sensitivity and resolution of NVGs, there is no consensus as to how a dolphin can see well both under water and in air. This is because axial ophthalmoscope refractive state measurements in air range from 16 to 20 diopters of myopia yet behavioral studies indicate a 0.5 diopter error or at most a few diopters of myopia in both air and underwater. The optical elements involved in this paradox will be discussed. If time permits, a pictorial trip starting from Huntsville, Alabama and ending with a visit to the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal Laboratory in Honolulu will be presented. Note: The paradoxical dolphin eye has interestingly evolved (1) two off axis, high retinal summation, areae centrali, (2) a double slit pupil, (3) a gradient index spherical lens, (4) a highly reflecting tapetum lucidum, (5) a stable visual environment with independent eye movement, (6) a low curvature ellipsoidal, inelastic cornea and (7) edge enhancing retinal neural processing. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, February 3, 2015 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Cosmological Highlights from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Prof. David Weinberg (Astronomy/OhioState) I will describe some of the scientific highlights from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), concentrating on those connected to cosmology and galaxy formation. In the three phases to date, SDSS-I, II, and III, the Sloan collaboration has carried out several of the largest and most ambitious surveys of the distant universe and the Milky Way galaxy, with deep digital imaging over one third of the sky and spectroscopy of more than 2 million galaxies, 200,000 quasars, and half a million stars. Cosmological achievements include: probing the epoch of reionization with the most distant known quasars; comprehensively characterizing the properties of galaxies and the relations between galaxies and their parent dark matter halos; discovering ubiquitous substructure in the outer Milky Way and more than a dozen new companion satellite galaxies; mapping cosmic expansion over the last four billion years with more than 500 Type Ia supernovae; and, through its precision measurements of structure on very large scales, providing a central pillar of the standard cosmological model based on inflation, cold dark matter, and dark energy. I will review these highlights, with particular attention to recent progress in measuring the properties of dark energy through baryon acoustic oscillations. I will summarize plans and prospects for SDSS-IV, which began in July 2014. Presenation _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, February 10, 2015 (cancelled) Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Professor Junpeng Guo (ECE/UAH) _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, February 17, 2015 Optics Building 234, 2:30P Towards ultrafast plasmonic dynamics without decoherence Prof. Seyed Sadeghi (UAH/Physics) A main signature of quantum systems is the ultrafast decay of their quantumness. This is mostly related to the inevitable interaction of these systems with their environments. In semiconductor quantum dots a prime impact of quantum decoherence is the rapid decay of quantum coherent effects generated by a laser field. This is an undesirable process which many exotic applications of quantum dots difficult to observe and use, particularly those related to quantum computation and quantum optics effects. In this talk my objective to discuss a novel path that hybrid systems consisting semiconductor quantum dots and metallic nanoparticle can offer. This path may lead to the ultrafast coherent dynamics associated with plasmons and excitons that are free of decoherence or damping. For this I discuss systems that can convert rather static plasmon fields of metallic nanoparticles into field oscillations or ultrashort pulses with undamped amplitudes. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, February 24, 2015 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Ordinary thunderstorms as particle accelerators Dr. Michael Briggs (CSPAR/UAH) Terrestrial gamma-ray flashes are bright, sub-ms flashes of gamma-rays observed from orbit. The gamma-rays are produced from bremsstrahlung from electrons that are accelerated in thunderstorms. Observations with the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) discovered positrons in a particular subset of TGFs, showing that thunderstorms are injecting gamma-rays, electrons and positrons into space. Combining GBM observations with ground-based radio, specific storms that produce TGFs are identified. A wide range of thunderstorms, including very ordinary ones, are found to produce TGFs. Relativistic particle acceleration is a common atmospheric phenomena. Presentation _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, March 3, 2015 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM IceCube: The Beginning of Neutrino Astronomy Prof. Dawn Williams (Physics&Astronomy/University of Alabama) The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is the largest neutrino detector in the world, instrumenting one cubic kilometer of ice at the geographic South Pole. IceCube was designed to detect high energy neutrinos from possible cosmic ray acceleration sites such as active galactic nuclei, gamma ray bursts and supernovae. In 2013, IceCube announced the first detection of a diffuse flux of high energy neutrinos whose characteristics are consistent with astrophysical origin. The IceCube signal includes the highest energy neutrinos ever detected. I will discuss the latest results from IceCube and future prospects for the next generation of neutrino detection at the South Pole. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, March 10, 2015 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Higher Order Polarimetry and Intensity Fluctuations for Target Discrimination Dr. Thomas Kohlgraf-Owens (Kord Technology) The interaction of optical waves with material systems often results in seemingly random scattered fields. Because the fluctuations in the response from a system are typically difficult to analyze directly, they are regarded as noise to be suppressed. Nevertheless, the statistical properties of the scattered fields can be employed for a variety of sensing and discrimination tasks because at each instant the scattered field is the result of a deterministic, albeit complicated, interaction between the optical field and the scattering system. This talk will focus on some of the work done by the Photonic Diagnostics of Random Media group at CREOL related to sensing tasks with disordered materials. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, March 17, 2015 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM High-energy cosmic ray acceleration in individual and multiple shocks of relativistic jets Dr. Athina Meli (Univ. of Gent/Phyiscs & Astronomy) Active Galactic Nuclei and Gamma Ray bursts are relativistic, extragalactic sources which are believed to be the main candidates of the high-energy cosmic-rays. Relativistic shocks, either single or multiple, have been inferred by observations or have been theorized to be forming within a high-speed plasma jet in these extragalactic sources. The acceleration of protons mainly, but also nuclei, via the Fermi acceleration mechanism in these jets is believed to be responsible for the observed cosmic-ray power-law distributions and consequently for the radiation of gamma-rays and neutrinos. Here, I will focus on the relativistic cosmic-ray shock acceleration mechanism, and will present test-particle simulation studies for single and multiple shocks occurring in these extragalactic jets. Then, I will briefly discuss the secondary production and extragalactic propagation of the accelerated high-energy cosmic-rays, giving insights into understanding their relevance to a multi-messenger physics approach. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, March 31, 2015 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Prof. Rick Trebino (Gergia Tech/Phyiscs) _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, April 7, 2015 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Prof. Anup Sharma (Alababa A&M/Phyiscs) _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, April 14, 2015 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Dr. Grant Tremblay (Yale) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Past Seminars Tuesday, January 14, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Some Physical Properties of Cosmic Rays Dr. Richard Lieu, Department of Physics, UAH Abstract: The population of cosmic rays with energy beneath the spectral `knee' is widely believed to be of Galactic origin, with diffusive shock acceleration at supernova remnants being the most favored acceleration mechanism. The basics of this mechanism in the context of parallel and oblique shocks and the direct evidence supporting its existence from shell supernova remnants will be presented, along with the relativistic extension to include jet termination and superluminally oblique geometries. Beyond the spectral `knee', the challenge is to find a mechanism that preserves the spectral `normalization' while steepening the slope by an index of 0.4. Such attractive possibilities as the re-acceleration of `pre-knee' population by colliding shock fronts, and large scale shocks including those associated with merging clusters of galaxies and cluster wind accelerated by dark energy, will be addressed. Lastly, I will discuss the GZK cutoff of the highest energy cosmic rays and its relevance to the question of Lorentz invariance violation, by explaining how the evidence gathered in the last decade against such a violation from stellar interferometry and Fermi gamma-ray observations reinstated the validity of the cutoff prediction. Full Presentation Tuesday, January 21, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Particle acceleration and associated radiation in relativistic jets with shocks and shear-flow Ken Nishikawa (UAH/Physics) Abstract: We investigated particle acceleration and shock structure associated with an unmagnetized relativistic jet propagating into an unmagnetized plasma. The Weibel (filamentation) instability is excited in the jet and shocks are formed. Strong magnetic fields generated in the trailing shock contribute to the electron's transverse deflection and acceleration. Kinetic Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KKHI) is also responsible to create strong magnetic fields. The velocity shears in core-sheath jets create strong magnetic field perpendicular to the jet. We examine how the Lorentz factors of jets affect the growth rates of KKHI. We have calculated, self-consistently, the radiation from electrons accelerated in these turbulent magnetic fields in the shocks. We found that the synthetic spectra depend on the bulk Lorentz factor of the jet, its temperature and strength of the generated magnetic fields. The calculated properties of the emerging radiation provide our understanding of the complex time evolution and/or spectral structure in gamma-ray bursts, relativistic jets in general, and supernova remnants. Full Presentation Tuesday, January 28, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Quantum nanosensors: Towards optical detection and recognition of single biological molecules using the rules of quantum mechanics and plasmonics Seyed Sadeghi, UAH Department of Physics (email@example.com) Abstract: Conventional nanosensors are based on intrinsic resonances of metallic nanoparticles (localized surface plasmon resonances) and/or semiconductor quantum dots (excitons). In this talk I discuss the results of our recent theoretical investigation that have shown how one can use the rules of quantum mechanics in a system consisting of one metallic nanorod and one semiconductor quantum dot to design plasmonic nanosensors capable of digital optical detection and recognition of single biological molecules. In such sensors the adsorption of a specific molecule to the nanorod turns off the emission of the system when it interacts with an optical pulse having a certain intensity and temporal width. The proposed quantum sensors can count the number of molecules of the same type or differentiate between molecule types with digital optical signals that can be measured with high certainty. I discuss the physics behind such nanosensors and highlight how, despite the ultrafast quantum decoherence processes in quantum dots, we expect such sensors to perform at room temperature.

Tuesday, February 11, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Silicon Photonics: a Scientific and Technological Platform Dr. Jaime Cardenas (Cornell University/Nanophotonics) Abstract: Silicon photonics is a versatile optical platform on which we can gain scientific insight and achieve technological breakthroughs: from invisibility cloaks to radio frequency and on-chip digital communications. In this talk, I will present my research on several silicon photonics topics. We will delve into the basic properties of silicon that make it a nearly ideal material for photonics, and I will present the techniques that we developed to achieve efficient coupling of light into a silicon chip, ultimately leading to applications such as the realization of linear RF modulators, and how we demonstrated the carpet cloak at optical frequencies. Tuesday, February 18, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Chaotic Systems with Analytic Solutions Dr. Jon Blakely (AMRDEC) Abstract: 'Chaos' is complex, non-repeating behavior displayed by nonlinear dynamical systems. Well known physical examples include atmospheric convection and oscillating chemical reactions. Mathematically, these phenomena are typically described by nonlinear differential equations, for which there are no general methods for finding analytic solutions. Thus, it is common practice to resort to numerical methods to study chaos. Nonetheless, there are a few chaotic systems for which analytic solutions are known. In this talk, I will describe one such example of 'solvable chaos'. I will show how a complicated, non-repeating chaotic solution can be derived and written in a concise form. Then I will show experimental data from some physical implementations of this dynamical system including a chaotic electronic circuit, and a spring-mass-type mechanical chaotic oscillator. Full Presentation Tuesday, February 25, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Macroscopic and Microscopic Instabilities in Relativistic Jets Dr. Philip E. Hardee, Professor Emeritus (The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa) Abstract: Relativistic jets be they Poynting flux or kinetic flux dominated are current driven (CD) and/or Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) velocity shear driven unstable. These macroscopic MHD instabilities may be responsible for some observed larger scale twisted jet structures and typically do not disrupt jets on less than kiloparsec scales. Here I review our understanding of the jet properties that will lead to the observed relative stability of astrophysical jets. In addition, I review the progress made on the microscopic scale plasma instabilities in shocks and velocity shears that may lead to magnetic field generation and that does lead to the particle acceleration required to produce the observed emission from radio wavelengths to TeV energies. Finally, I discuss these instabilities in the context of the jet in M 87. Full Presentation Wednesday, February 26, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Origin of galactic cosmic rays - are supernova remnants particle PeVatrons? Dr. Jacek Niemiec (IPN, Krokow) Abstract: Diffusive shock acceleration process at supernova remnant shocks is widely believed to be the major source of Galactic cosmic rays of energies up and possibly beyond 10^15 eV (1 PeV). I will present current theoretical and observational evidence supporting this paradigm and point outstanding problems awaiting further investigation. I will also discuss the expected contribution of the planned Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) in resolving the question whether supernova remnants operate as PeVatrons. Full Presentation Thursday, February 27, 2014 Optics Building 234, 1:30PM Measurement of cluster masses via Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect observations of a complete sample of X-ray selected galaxy clusters Ashley Lindley (Dissertation talk) Abstract: A powerful method for investigating cosmology is to observe the evolution of clusters over time, accomplished through analysis of cluster properties over a range of redshifts. One important property to examine is the cluster mass function, i.e., the number density of clusters of a given mass at a given redshift range. Studies of the evolution of the cluster mass function over redshift ranges are used for obtaining cosmological constraints. To expand our mass knowledge to higher redshifts, a robust method for determining cluster masses utilizing radio data is desired. Presented are measurements of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect of a sample of 32 galaxy clusters observed with the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Array, an interferometric array at the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy observatory. The sample is selected from the most luminous galaxy clusters in the ROSAT Bright Cluster Sample in the redshift range 0.15 z 0.3. The data are analyzed using a method that makes use of the virial theorem to measure masses directly from the SZE observations. It is shown that masses can be accurately estimated from the SZE data alone, provided the availability of an average gas mass fraction that can be calibrated separately from X-ray observations. This method is therefore an alternative to mass-observable scaling relations to measure dynamical masses directly from SZE observations. Tuesday, March 4, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Understanding the physics of galaxy clusters Dr. Andrea Morandi, Department of Physics, UAH Abstract: In this talk, I will review the physics of galaxy clusters, focusing on what can be learned from Xray, Sunyaev Zel'dovich and lensing observations, hydrodynamical numerical simulations and on the recent development on the modeling of both dark matter and intracluster medium. I will discuss temperature and entropy profiles, scaling properties, in order to constrain the non-gravitational processes which affect the thermal history of the gas, as well as how we can use galaxy clusters as cosmological probes. Then I will discuss the first determination of the intrinsic shape and the physical parameters of both dark matter and intracluster medium in triaxial galaxy clusters via mutliwavelenght analysis. Finally, I will overview recent development in the virialization region of clusters. Full Presentation Tuesday, March 11, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Femtosecond Frequency Combs and Their Applications Dr. Lingze Duan, Department of Physics, UAH Abstract: Femtosecond frequency combs combine broad spectral width with high spectral precision and offer unprecedented frequency stability. These features make them versatile tools. Over the last few years, we have explored a number of novel applications that can take advantage of the excellent performance of frequency combs. In this talk, I will first give a brief review of the concept and the main characteristics of femtosecond frequency combs, and then I will describe our recent work on frequency comb-based remote clock transfer, target tracking, tomographic imaging and refractive index measurement. Full Presentation Tuesday, March 18, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Studying baryon physics with galaxy groups and clusters Prof. Ming Sun, Department of Physics, UAH Abstract: Most of the cosmic baryons are not locked in stars. Understanding the properties and underlying cause of baryons that are not locked into stars will shed light on the formation of galaxies, which only account for ~ 10% of baryons. Galaxy groups and clusters are the only systems where the bulk of the baryons have been detected. This makes them great objects to study baryon physics, such as cooling, star formation, heating from supermassive black holes and galactic winds. Moreover, a better understanding of these baryon processes is also important for cluster cosmology. In this talk, I will discuss several topics related to the study of baryon physics in groups and clusters, including AGN heating, ram pressure stripping, star formation and radio relics/halos. Full Presentation Tuesday, April 1, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Timing noise of radio pulsars and implications to neutron star's interior structure and gravitational wave detection Dr. Shuang-Nan Zhang, Department of Physics, UAH Abstract: Radio pulsars are the most stable natural clocks in the universe, yet timing noises can still be substantial when the times of arrivals of their pulses are fitted with some well accepted spin-down models or templates of pulsars. In this talk, I will review our recent work on modeling the timing noises of radio pulsars. Our model includes a long-term power-law decay modulated by periodic oscillations of the surface magnetic fields of neutron stars, which can explain the statistical properties of their timing noises. We find that the spin-down evolutions of young and old pulsars are dominated by the power-law decay and periodic oscillations, respectively. By applying our model to the individual spin-down evolutions of many well-measured radio pulsars, we find evidence for Hall drifts and Hall waves in the crusts of neutron stars. Finally we also attempt to improve the sensitivity of detecting gravitational waves with pulsars by applying our model to reduce the timing residuals of millisecond radio pulsars. The main publications related to this talk can be found at this ads link: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-abs_connect?library&;;libname=pulsar+timing&libid=44cf02882f Full Presentation Special Seminar - Thursday, April 3, 2014 Optics Building 234, 10:30AM Future Missions of Space High Energy Astrophysics of China Dr. Shuang-Nan Zhang Abstract: I will first review several missions of China on space high energy astrophysics approved and to be launched in the next several years: (1) The Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT) to be launched in 2015, which has three sets of collimated detectors with broad band (1-250 keV) and large effective area (400-5000 cm^2); (2) The dedicated gamma-ray (50-350 keV) polarization experiment POLAR onboard China's Tiang-Gong-2 spacelab, jointly developed between China and Switzerland and to be launched in 2015; (3) The dark matter particle and cosmic ray detection satellite (DAMPE) to be launched in 2016-2017, jointly developed between China, Switzerland and Italy; (4) The multi-wavelength Space Viable Object Monitor (SVOM) mission, jointly developed between China and France and to be launched in around 2020. I will then describe three candidate missions selected for further study and technology development: (1) The X-ray Timing and Polarization (XTP) Observatory, which is made of a large array of X-ray telescopes with focal length of 4-5 meters; (2) The High Energy cosmic Radiation Detection (HERD) facility onboard China's Space Station, which has large geometrical factors and broad energy ranges for cosmic rays, electrons and gamma-rays and is made of a large stack of cubic scintillators surrounded by silicon microstrip detectors from five sides; (3) The Einstein Probe (EP), which is essentially a large Lobster Eye wide-field all-sky-monitor working between 0.5-4 keV band and has a fast follow-up X-ray telescope. All these three future missions are planned for launch and operation in around 2020-2025. Finally I will mention briefly several other candidate space astronomy missions currently in different development phases, e.g., on dark energy survey, exoplanets, 21 cm emission in the early universe, missing baryon, etc. Full Presentation Tuesday, April 8, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Muon Radiography as a Probe of the Interior Structure of Small Solar System Bodies Prof. Richard S. Miller, Professor, Department of Physics, UAH Abstract: Small Solar System Bodies (SSSBs) such as asteroids are remnants of the early solar system. Our understanding of these objects has changed significantly over the past few decades with studies of surface composition, crater morphologies, and other physical properties by flyby and rendezvous missions contributing to a deeper understand our solar system's formation and evolution. However, in contrast to these surface studies there has been no direct measurement of their internal structure - critical information which remains largely unknown. We are developing a new approach to the study of SSSBs: cosmic-ray induced muon radiography. This technique will enable remote determination of the density and three-dimensional structure of SSSBs using muons generated naturally by cosmic-ray interactions in these planetary bodies. Once fully implemented this concept will: a) Remotely measure density and structure variations for meter- to kilometer-scale asteroids and/or comets, b) uniquely enhance our understanding of the early solar system by providing new measurements of density, macroporosity, and other structural features of SSSBs, c) provide critical inputs to computational models of Near Earth Objects (NEOs) for impact avoidance strategies, and d) support efforts related to asteroid retrieval, mining, and in situ resource utilization. I will report the developmental details, limitations of the approach, and describe how such an approach might be implemented near-term. Tuesday, April 15, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM The Solar Storm of the Century: Did we dodge the big one in 2012? Dr. Alex Young (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center) Abstract: On July 23, 2012, the sun erupted sending a billion plus tons of plasma and magnetic field at speeds upwards of 12 million km per hour hurdling through the inner solar system. This kind of event, called a coronal mass ejection (CME), is a main driver of space weather and can significantly impact our technology on Earth and in space. This CME is the largest ever observed in the space age. Fortunately for us, the eruption directly impacted the STEREO A spacecraft but was not Earth-directed. If the CME had impacted Earth instead of STEREO, computer modeling estimates that the event could have produced geomagnetic storming on Earth at levels greater than the famous "perfect storm" Carrington event of 1859. In this talk, I will provide an overview of space weather science and forecasting. Then will I discuss what the July 2012 event tells us about extreme space weather and what impact it could have had on our critical infrastructure. Tuesday, August 26, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM A Journey of Burst Adventures Dr. Binbin Zhang (CSPAR/UAH) Abstract: In this talk I will review our current understanding of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), including their prompt emission and mulit-wavelength observations. The talk will take you to several milestones in the history of GRB research, along which I will discuss several difficult but fun topics such as GRB radius, compositions, dissipation, radiation mechanisms, diversities and classifications. Presnetation Tuesday, September 2, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Physical Random Number Generation Using Chaos Dr. Ned Corron (U.S. Army RDECOM) Abstract: Chaos is a type of dynamics generated by deterministic systems that exhibit random, unpredictable behavior. The capability to generate randomness from a deterministic process is, to say the least, counterintuitive. However, in terms of Shannon's information theory, a chaotic oscillator is an information source characterized by positive entropy when observed with finite precision. As such, chaotic dynamics offers a physical source of randomness that can be exploited for technological application. In this talk, we will explore the nature of chaos as an information source, including how determinism can yield random behavior, and consider recent reports of very fast physical random number generation using laser chaos. Presentation Tuesday, September 9, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Detecting WHIM filaments with UV and X-ray spectroscopy - The sightline towards PKS2155-304 Prof. Max Bonamente (Physics/UAH) Abstract: Much of the universe's baryons are located in a diffuse warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM), and not in collapsed structures such as galaxies or stars. The diffuse nature and their temperature (T=10^5-10^7 K) make them challenging to observe. A useful probe of these baryons is absorption spectroscopy, which uses a bright background source to detect the WHIM in absorption. We use FUSE and HST spectroscopy to measure a number of absorption lines towards a bright quasar, PKS2155-304. These absorption lines match the prediction of WHIM structures based on the distribution of galaxies from the two-degree-field (2dF) galaxy redshift survey. We show that WHIM structures can be identified efficiently from optical galaxy surveys, and their hydrogen content estimated accurately using results from numerical simulations. Presentation Wednesday, September 17, 2014 (attention for the date) Optics Building 234, 2:30PM The Search for Black Holes in Globular Clusters Prof. Jimmy Irwin (UA Tuscaloosa) Abstract: The existence of both stellar- and intermediate-mass black holes within globular clusters has been the subject of intense debate for decades. The rich globular cluster populations of nearby elliptical galaxies provide much more fertile hunting grounds over the meager globular cluster population of the Milky Way to search for accreting black holes emitting near their Eddington limit. Extreme X-ray variability of >1e39 ergs/s sources provide the best means of identifying such black holes. I will present the current evidence for black hole existing within globular clusters, and discuss the possibility that intermediate-mass (100-10,000 dolar mass) black holes reside at the centers of globular clusters much like supermassive black holes reside at the centers of galaxies. Presentation Tuesday, September 23, 2014 (cancelled) Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Magnetic Reconnection: Anomalous resistivity a myth or reality affecting reconnection! Prof. Nagendra Singh (ECE/UAH) Abstract: Anomalous resistivity has been a controversial topic for affecting magnetic reconnection in laboratory, space and astrophysical plasmas. If one takes the meaning of anomalous resistivity in a broad physical sense of the loss of momentum from the current carrying particles (electrons and/or ions) in the reconnection diffusion region, the effective resistivity is absolute reality. This effective resistivity supports the reconnection (inductive) electric field. On the other hand, if one defines anomalous resistivity in a limited sense as that arising from instabilities generated by current-driven instabilities, then the application of this resistivity is limited to reconnection in electron current sheets when they thin down to a half width of the order of a few electron skin depths. Such anomalous resistivity plays a role in the onset of the reconnection. Since onset requires a reduction in current at the location of the onset, anomalous resitivity helps reduce the current and thus breaks the magnetic field lines, which subsequently rejoin affecting the reconnection. Once the reconnection has occurred, then the anomalous resistivity has no role any more, it is the effective resistivity due to the transport of the current carriers out of the diffusion region takes the role of resistivity. This effective resitivity does not dissipate power locally into heat; it transports momentum/energy out of the diffusion region. We will discuss these issues along with analytical calculations and/or 3D PIC numerical simulations of reconnection onset preceded by the generation of anomalous resistivity involving current-driven ion modes and their modulational collapse into filamentary structures of electric field and density cavities. We will briefly visit the often used generalized Ohm's low in explaining reconnection, mainly to point out that the various terms in the law do not 'generate' electric fields. Instead, they merely support the reconnection (induction) electric field. It is similar idea as in an electrical circuit driven by a voltage source; the source generates the voltage and the passive elements (resistor) merely support the part of the voltage drop. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, September 30, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Exciting physics with merging galaxy clusters Dr. Reinout van Weeren (Harvard/CfA) Abstract: Merging galaxy clusters are excellent laboratories to study particle acceleration in dilute cosmic plasmas, to explore the nature of dark matter, and to investigate galaxy cluster growth. In a few dozen merging galaxy clusters diffuse extended radio emission has been found, implying the presence of relativistic particles and magnetic fields in the intracluster medium. A major question is how these particles are accelerated up to such extreme energies. In this talk I will present X-ray and radio observations of merging clusters which provide new insights about the acceleration mechanism. I will also show the latest results from the new revolutionary low-frequency telescope LOFAR, allowing observations of diffuse cluster emission with unprecedented resolution and sensitivity. Finally, I will highlight ongoing work to constrain the properties of dark matter with merging clusters. Presentation ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, October 7, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2:30P Optical/Digital Doomsday Navigation Prof. Don Gregory and Mr. John Jasper (Physics/UAH) In most EOTWAWKI (End Of The World As We Know It) event scenarios, it is assumed that access to the GPS satellite system will be limited or nonexistent. An updated "navigation by the stars" technique will be presented which is based on a classic Fourier optics idea covered in any course on the subject. The digital implementation of this analog optical technique utilizes a stand-alone (no internet) high-end PC equipped with a programmable gaming board and is capable of accurately aiding global navigation of any type, especially spacecraft. It has recently been used on a NASA/MSFC X-ray balloon flight to successfully monitor telescope alignment. The demonstration of this technology during the seminar will be interactive with attendees being allowed to convince themselves the technique really works. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, October 14, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Testing optical surfaces Dr. Patrick Readon (Center for Applied Optics/UAH) Testing optical surfaces for errors employs relatively straightforward instrumentation and methods. However, for even the most simple surfaces, getting absolute measurements becomes quite complex. This talk discusses optical testing methods, for simple rotationally symmetric spherical surfaces, and the modifications surfaces that must be employes to extract useful data on more complicated aspheres, off--axis aspheres, and general free-form surfaces. Some specific examples will be given, include recent efforts in testing near-cylindrical surfaces.

VHE science is at the crossroads of physics and astronomy and draws from a diverse community of scientists interested in subjects from the origin of cosmic rays to the nature of dark matter through black hole formation and the invariance of the speed of light. I will review the history of ground-based gamma-ray astronomy from its lonely days in the wilderness of the Sonoran desert to the ambitious plan of a worldwide consortium dedicated to building the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA).

Presentation _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, November 4, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Novel Stimuli-Responsive Shape Memory Polymers for Smart Nanooptics Prof. Peng Jiang (Chemical Engineering/University of Florida) Photonic crystals may hold the key to continued progress towards all-optical integrated circuits and quantum information processing. Shape memory polymers (SMPs), which can memorize and recover their permanent shapes upon application of an external stimulus (e.g., heat and light), provide a unique opportunity to achieve smart, reconfigurable photonic crystals with bistable states. Unfortunately, most of the currently available SMPs are thermoresponsive and they suffer from slow response speed and heat-demanding programming and recovery steps. Although pressure is an easily adjustable process variable like temperature, pressure-responsive SMPs are largely unexplored. By integrating scientific principles drawn from two disparate fields that do not typically intersect - the fast-growing photonic crystal and SMP technologies, we have recently developed a new type of SMP that enables unusual "cold" programming and instantaneous shape recovery triggered by applying an external pressure or exposing to an organic vapor (e.g., acetone) at ambient conditions. This unique integration has not only led to the discovery of the new pressure- and vapor-responsive SMPs, it also provides a simple and sensitive optical technique for investigating the intriguing shape memory effects at nanoscale. Simultaneously, stimuli-responsive SMPs can empower smart and reconfigurable nanooptical devices and thus can significantly broaden the fabrication and application scopes of current photonic crystal technology. The applications of these novel SMPs in a wide spectrum of fields ranging from smart nanooptical devices (e.g., tunable antireflection coatings) to chromogenic pressure and vapor sensors to new biometric and anti-counterfeiting materials will also be demonstrated. Improved fundamental understanding of capillary pressure-induced macropore collapse, as well as capillary condensation of vapors in complex hierarchical porous networks which is a topic that has received little examination, will also be presented. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, November 11, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Genus Topology of Large-Scale Structure in the Cosmic Microwave Background: Overview and Recent Results from BICEP2 Dr. Wesley Colley (CMSA/UAH) I will provide an overview of using genus topology to characterize large-scale structure in the Universe, and a brief overview of science from the cosmic microwave background. I will then discuss our group's work on topology from the WMAP data, and our very recent work on the BICEP2 data, the latter of which appears to confirm, at least partially, the discovery of a gravity wave signature in the CMB.

Fuller (NSSTC/UAH) The interaction of visible light with fine particles will be the focus of this presentation. Beginning with an overview of the exact theory of electromagnetic scattering and absorption by a sphere (Lorenz-Mie theory), the relevance of microparticle optics will be discussed as it pertains to atmospheric optics, remote sensing and photovoltaics. Issues involving nonspherical particles, polarimetry and recent findings at UAH related to chem/bio sensing will then be addressed. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, November 25, 2014 (cancelled) Optics Building 234, 2:30PM Prof. John Fix (Physics/UAH) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, December 2, 2014 Optics Building 234, 2.30PM Supermassive black hole binaries Prof. Tamara Bogdanovic (CRA/Georgia Tech) Gravitationally bound supermassive black hole binaries are thought to be a natural product of galactic mergers and growth of the large scale structure in the universe. They however remain observationally elusive, thus raising a question about characteristic observational signatures associated with these systems. In my talk I will discuss current theoretical understanding and latest advances made in observational searches for supermassive black hole binaries.

text: Chevron (CVX) presses ahead at Kitimat LNG, but seeks out new partner Canadian Press, The Canadian Press 0 Comments| August 1, 2014 Add to favourites CALGARY _ Chevron Corp. (NYSE:CVX, Stock Forum) said Friday it needs a new partner for a West Coast natural gas export project, but it will press ahead with early-stage development work on it in the meantime. A day earlier, Apache Corp. announced it would ``completely exit'' the 50-50 partnership, which includes natural gas resources in northeastern B.C., a pipeline to the West Coast and a facility near Kitimat, B.C., to chill the gas into a liquid state so it can be shipped overseas. ``We need to get our partnership resolved,'' Chevron executive vice-president George Kirkland told a conference call to discuss the company's latest financial results. ``That means Apache needs to move through the issues and we need to get a new partner in. That needs to happen.'' Kirkland was adamant that Chevron does not want to increase its stake beyond 50 per cent in the project, called Kitimat LNG. Even before Apache's announcement Thursday, the companies had been looking at bringing in other partners. Apache's move does not affect the timing of a final investment decision for Kitimat LNG, said Kirkland, who is also vice-chairman of Chevron's board of directors. Rather, the board's official go-ahead will hinge on whether customers agree to sign long-term contracts covering 60 per cent of the plant's planned production. ``That is the critical decision-maker on both timing and the investment decision.'' Work is underway on assessing resource potential in northeastern B.C., getting clearance to build the Pacific Trail Pipeline and getting a better understanding of the project's costs. Kirkland said it's important to keep moving the project ahead so that the company can ``deal knowledgeably'' with potential buyers of the gas. Kitimat LNG has a permit from the National Energy Board to export 10 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas per year. Apache said Thursday it's getting out of the LNG business, with plans to also sell its stake in the Wheatstone project in Australia. The Houston-based company has been under pressure from activist hedge fund Jana Partners LLC to restructure. The exit from Kitimat LNG won't detract from its value, Apache CEO and chairman said on a conference call Thursday. ``Frankly, whether we're in it or not, it is a world class project with world class reserves and frankly Chevron and Apache at this point are way ahead of anybody else in that arena.'' It was largely a matter of timing, as LNG terminals take years to build, he said. ``It makes sense for someone else to own it that has a different time horizon than we do.'' The Kitimat LNG project is furthest along of any of the proposed natural gas export facilities planned for Canada's West Coast. However, Chevron and Apache have not had an easy time securing buyers for the resource, said Ed Kallio, director of gas consulting at Ziff Energy, a division of Solomon Associates. ``Even though it's a shovel-ready project, they've just had that weakness on the market end,'' he said in an interview Thursday.

I'm a person who loves to travel and hopes to do so long into the future. I'm also new to AirBnB! I love to read, watch movies, eat things I've baked and think about crafts, but actually do crafts only occasionally. I'm passionate about social justice but still not sure about how to enact it within my life.
My partner and I hail from Adelaide, South Australia. Nick is a graphic designer. He is very obedient and toilet-trained, and likes people! Also, he does not appreciate being talked about this way.
We travelled throughout US for all of January 2012 using only AirBnB, and it was a great experience. Staying in lovely apartments with locals, getting to know them and their pets, and getting to stay in the midst of interesting neighbourhoods made the trip a lot easier and a lot more fun. In the future we plan to use AirBnB for trips through Europe and anywhere else we go.
I love balance when I travel - not all outdoor adventure, not all shopping, not all culture - just a little bit of everything. Mainly I love the food:) If I can just eat my way around the world that will make me happy.

Based solely on appearances, the Middletown High School boys swimming and diving team looks like a hodgepodge of characters who would, in a typical high school setting, have no business keeping each other's company, senior Andrew Pressly said.
But somehow, the dynamic works.
The Knights clinched their first Frederick County title since 1993 on Saturday by edging second-place Frederick High, 95-87, at the Walkersville High pool. Defending champion Oakdale finished third with 84 points and Urbana (78 points) and Walkersville (63) rounded out the top five.
"We always joke how we're a bunch of misfit looking people, but somehow we mesh to make a good team. It's crazy. What a great way to end senior year," said Pressly, who won the 100-yard backstroke.
Oakdale's girls overcame a disqualification in the 200-yard freestyle relay ��— a swimmer took off early — to win its first-ever county title Saturday. The Bears finished with 120 points to defeat Frederick with 111.50 points. Walkersville (96), Middletown (47) and Linganore (45) finished third through sixth. Five-time defending champion Urbana, down most of its big scorers from last year's squad, finished seventh with 37.50 points.
"We really wanted to win both this year, but I'm happy the girls at least won and evened it out. They came together so well. I'm happy, they faced adversity early, [the relay] was 18 points we could have had, yet they were still able to pull it off," second-year Oakdale coach Jared Minetola said.
Oakdale won six of 12 events Saturday, including the meet finale 400-yard freestyle relay — relays are worth double — to take control of the competition. No other team won more than two events.
Senior Tia Graham (100-yard butterfly, 200-yard freestyle) was the Bears' only double individual race winner. Frederick's Page Fox (100-yard backstroke, 100-yard freestyle) and Walkersville's Molly Updegraff (200-yard individual medley, 100-yard breaststroke) also won two individual events apiece.
Middletown avenged an early-season loss to Oakdale Saturday.
Though Pressly's win was Middletown's only first-place finish, the Knights did make up points by placing two swimmers in the top eight of five events — the top eight finishers scored points in decreasing amounts.
Middletown also had a four-point advantage coming out the diving portion of the competition after Lucas and Jonathan Tatem finished third and fourth; few teams even had two divers to enter.
Tuscarora's Shane Miller successfully defended his county diving title.
Walkersville's Bradley Updegraff (100-yard breaststroke, 200-yard individual medley), Frederick's Mitchell Reynolds (500-yard freestyle, 100-yard butterfly) and Oakdale's Chris Lamont (50-yard freestyle, 100-yard freestyle) each won two individual events.
Middletown's team picture might look like a bunch of randomly selected teenage boys thrown together, but each brings his own set of skills that fit together like a puzzle, said Logan Casey, who scored in four events.
"I'm the football player, we have the cross country runners, the [top students], it allows us to be better in different areas," Casey said. "As a team we wanted to grow and we came in stronger [Saturday]."

Raiders stun Chargers 28-13
On the next Chargers possession, Philip Rivers overthrew Malcom Floyd and the ball went right to safety Michael Huff, who returned it 15 yards to the San Diego 41. Campbell completed the drive with a 4-yard TD pass to rookie Jacoby Ford in the right corner of the end zone for a 14-0 lead.
After San Diego's Nate Kaeding kicked a 39-yard field goal, Campbell led an 80-yard, 11-play drive that was capped by Bush's 7-yard TD run, when he used a spin move and a strong second effort to power into the end zone for a 21-3 lead.
Campbell was back at quarterback after Bruce Gradkowski was hurt late in the fourth quarter of last Sunday's 33-17 loss to Miami, which led the Raiders to put him on injured reserve, ending his season.
The Chargers cut the gap to 21-13 on a 33-yard field goal by Kaeding in the third quarter and Rivers' 4-yard scoring pass to wide-open Antonio Gates with 9:59 left.
Campbell then led a drive capped by McFadden's 7-yard run with 4:35 left.
Campbell outgained the Chargers' running game all by himself, with 37 yards on seven carries.
"It's disappointing," said Rivers, who threw for 280 yards and was sacked four times. "I didn't make some throws. I didn't play as well as I needed to. I didn't play winning football."
NOTES: It was only the second time in their history the Chargers had no first downs rushing. ... The Raiders had 13 penalties for 105 yards. ... Sproles sustained a concussion when he was hit by Oakland's Rolando McClain just before halftime. ... Chargers WR Legedu Naanee aggravated an injured hamstring. ... The Chargers had a season-low 286 yards in total offense.
(This version CORRECTS Raiders 28, Chargers 13. Corrects slug.)

I just bought a chest freezer for a fermentation vessel, and it's stored in my girlfriend's basement. My question is how "big" is the sulphur smell when you open the chest freezer? Could it stink up a whole basement or just a certain sized area around the freezer? How long does this smell come out of the airlock for? Could a fan easily dissipate this odor? Thanks for your help. I just don't want to go ahead and make a lager and piss her and the roommate off.
My experience with my first lager was that I only noticed the sulphur smell within a small area around my fermentation cabinet. And the intensity of the odor began to decrease after about a week of fermentation and was only significant for a period of about 4 to 5 days. If you keep your cabinet shut and don't peek like every 5 minutes you shouldn't really notice it too badly. :-)
