Computers that go over the 2800 ELO mark (onto 3000)....is this only from play against other strong computers?
Having been out of chess for the past decade plus, I was left back when Garry Kasparov lost to IBM, but since that time, is it that there are now software that no grandmasters can beat? Do many play public matches against the strongest of computer programs anymore?
How about the current top players? Can they beat these programs that are rated above them?
No. Latest engines beat the strongest grandmasters, even on commercial hardware.
there is no humain versus machine matches anymore as no GM can compete, unless against with a big cheque. look for Adams vs. Hydra.
The 'ELO' number they have is often given based on plays with other engines so is a bit moot.
wow. Can we estimate, in ELO points, where these strong chess programs are at, in relation to humans?
is it safe to assume that we have reached a point where no chess world champion can defeat a computer in a match?
It is amazing how things have changed.
I am still working my way through Mephisto Polgar (Milano program is similar) where I set the ELO to 1500, for example, play until I can win a few, then move up 20 points at a time.
3300+ ELO on new releases? stunning.
Thanks for the education. I know the questions are elementary, so I appreciate the patience afforded me.

While I've never put together a collection of a particular comic strip, it would appear to be an enjoyable, albeit arduous, project. Everything, from the cover art to original illustrations to various interviews and book chapters, has to be meticulously edited, fact-checked and measured to scale.
Yet this must pale in comparison to the painstaking task of getting the daily and weekend comic strips into chronological order.
Today's cartoonists save their work on multiple devices, and publications tend to have generous amounts of bandwidth to archive materials. That's not always the case with older comic strips, however. You often have to pray to the comic-strip gods that a publication, collector, historian or library has all the back issues in either paper, microfilm, microfiche or CD-ROM. If not, you have to keep moving on from source to source, city to city, and perhaps even town to town to find the proper materials.
In rarer cases, a cartoonist will refuse to release an entire strip's run for personal reasons and preferences. Until Fantagraphics Books started releasing its multivolume set "The Complete Peanuts," roughly 2,000 strips (out of 17,897) had never seen the light of day in a U.S. book collection. Why? Charles M. Schulz, the creator of "Peanuts," didn't like the quality of some of his earlier work and balked at this suggestion for decades.
That's what makes a new project produced by the Library of American Comics and IDW Publishing so intriguing and refreshing. They recently started releasing the "Library of American Comics Essentials," which reproduces an entire year of a classic comic strip in book form. There is one daily black-and-white strip per page, which produces a unique shape and design for each 4" x 11" hardcover volume. As Dean Mullaney, the series editor, put it, "[t]he result, we believe, allows us at least in some small way to have an experience similar to what newspaper buyers had fifty to a hundred years ago — reading the comics one day at a time."
Volume 1 examines George Herriman's "Baron Bean." This comic strip, which ran from 1916 to 1919, was about the hilarious adventures of a "bogus baron," in the words of Jared Gardner. It quickly "developed into one of Herriman's richest and funniest creations, second only to 'Krazy Kat,'" his most well-known strip. Baron Bean and his sidekick, Grimes, shared similar traits to Bud Fisher's "Mutt & Jeff" in terms of mannerisms and quirky personalities. There were even mild physical similarities between Baron Bean and Charlie Chaplin's Tramp, but "Herriman's own tramp ... is something of an inverse of the big-hearted and generous Tramp ... the 'Baron' counts on his fictional title to serve as credit for a nobility he rarely displays."
Volume 2 examines Sidney Smith's "The Gumps." After one of the most unique switches in comic-strip history — the Gumps moved into the house abandoned by Smith's talking-animal strip, "Old Doc Yak," in 1917 — this middle-class family quickly took off in popularity. Gardner wrote that it "would pioneer the open-ended serial" as the "trials and tribulations of its family and friends were front-page news and breakfast table conversation in households across the country." This volume primarily focuses on the brilliant 1928-29 story, "The Saga of Mary Gold," which is "most famous for being the first time a beloved comics character would die." Readers will be astonished how well this engaging and tragic tale still holds up after nearly 85 years.
In many ways, Mr. Mullaney's "Library of American Comics Essentials" is a wonderful tribute to one of his inspirations: Bill Blackbeard's "The Hyperion Library of Classic American Comic Strips." This legendary and like-minded 1970s series reintroduced audiences to older comics (including "Skippy," "A. Mutt," "Dream Days," "Abie the Agent," "Sherlocko the Monk" and even "Baron Bean") in volumes encompassing one to two years of daily strips. Alas, Blackbeard's books have long been out of print, are hard to find, and expensive to purchase. "Library of American Comics Essentials" picks up where "The Hyperion Library" left off by spotlighting a classic comic strip over one full calendar year, complete with a short essay and at an affordable price.
"Library of American Comics Essentials" volumes of "Baron Bean" and "The Gumps" are just the beginning for this book series. The third volume will examine Cliff Sterrett's "Polly and Her Pals," and the two remaining years of "Baron Bean" will follow in due course. Hence, when it comes to the old classic comic strips, the future looks very bright in terms of gaining many new readers and followers.

Demise of shade garden tree
Today I walked outside to inspect my shade garden, only to suddenly realize with shock that the faithful dogwood that has provided shade there for the last 12 years is in serious decline. I estimate that it has lost 75% of its canopy, and the plants under it are no longer in lovely dappled shade, but nearly full sun.
I need to replace this tree, pronto! I had thought about getting a fringe tree, but to my chagrin, I see that they grow very slowly. The space is not large (12 x 15), and is rather close to the house. It gets sun most of the day (I didn't plant the original dogwood, which would probably have preferred a more sheltered spot). The soil is decent, and it is on a slight slope.
I have a crabapple tree in an adjacent, lower garden; maybe I should get another? Any other ideas for a small tree that has a fairly full canopy?
If there's any shade at all above it, a Redwood 'Forest Pansy' is a gorgeous choice.
I feel your pain and panic.
I made a huge shade garden, then the very next year, the tree died. Up came a quick pergola, which I still need to cover for shade.
With the last wind storm? 1/2 a cherry and an entire maple were peeled like a banana, so up is going another pergola. Kill me.
Hey! A crape myrtle grows up to 3' a year, and if you got an upright or a vase shaped tree, you could have some beautiful color.
A birch tree did this to me and I replaced it with a shade cloth and a 'Jane' magnolia. Any of the 'Little Girl' series might work. Don't know how big the yellow ones like 'Elizabeth' get, but they're lovely.
An amelanchier might be a good choice but its shade would be relatively open, I think. Same with any redbud.
What about styrax or parrotia?
Also exceedingly beautiful, but not fast, would be cornus controversa 'Variegata'. Look it up. I saw a photo years ago on the GW in the garden of a guy in Brittany and was completely besotted. I'll be dead before mine reaches maturity, but I'm prepared to wait.
Here is a link that might be useful: At Heronswood
Leslie, that's a gorgeous tree. If I didn't think that DH would kill me....
A Japanese Maple will do nicely in that space, but they're not exactly known for being fast growers. Not to mention, there'd be some pretty special challenges to growing anything under one. An Amur maple may work. The only other thing I can think of that hasn't already been suggested is a Stewartia. They have multi-season interest, and can be nice small trees.
Thanks, everyone, for your advice and commiseration. I've made a list of these suggestions, will do some research, and visit my local garden center. Meanwhile, I'll put up some shade fabric, and try to calm down. I haven't had a garden shock like this in some time.
I have a beautiful Japanese maple (now about 8 ft) that I have grown from a seedling. It does grow slowly, but such a gorgeous tree. It's way the heck on the other side of the garden, though, and since I just transplanted it a couple of seasons ago after carefully root-pruning and coddling it, I don't want to move it again.
Thanks again!
I have a Forest Pansy by my front door. Maroon leaves, lovely open form.
Consider a viburnum? My Shasta doublefile has grown two feet in the last two years; mine is shrubby, but could easily be pruned up into a tree-shape. Blooms now, and gorgeous red fall color. Nice contrast with the FP.
Gingko Gardens on 11th st in DC has some nice stewartias, both pseudocammelia and a related Chinese species, rostrata, with bigger blossoms/seedpods but without the mottled bark that is one of the delights of the pseudocammellia -- go to Brookside Gdns in Wheaton to see mature trees of THAT.
What are your expectations on tree size and cost? It seems to me that it would cost several hundred dollars to get a tree in there that will cast a reasonably amount of shade in the next year or two...especially the equivalent of a 12+ year old dogwood. If the dogwood was never planted there, do you think you would want to plant a tree in that location? Maybe you could find a home for your shade plants and try something different in this location.
BTW, I was looking at some garden pictures and I was amazed at the growth that my 'Sioux' Crape Myrtle over a few years.

Trenow cottage in Perranuthnoe was perfect for a short stay at the end of October. It is warm and comfortable and finished to a very high level. The location is great too.. A short distance from Penzance and close to a lovely beach. The village is quiet but has a quite superb restaurant in the Victoria Inn ..just 30m down the road. you really DO have to book a table in advance.
If I have any complaint it would be the parking area which is just too much of a mud pile. It needs to be sorted as you cannot avoid trailing muddy boots into the house. It also makes the car skid when you brake after pulling into the parking space. The towels could also be larger ..it would be nice to have full sized bath sheets. They could also be fresher .. Mine had an unpleasant musty smell but it was the only one. These however were relatively minor issues in an otherwise fantastic stay. We certainly plan to visit again soon. more

Systemic administration of corticosteroids, the standard of care, is highly effective but can introduce serious systemic complications. Agents that inhibit the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway, such as cediranib, are promising alternatives, but are also associated with systemic toxicity as VEGF is essential for normal physiological functions. A miniature drug delivery device was developed for local drug delivery in rodents. It comprises of a drug reservoir and a cap with orifice(s) through which drug is released. Drug release kinetics is dependent on the payload, the drug solubility, and the surface area for diffusion. Sustained releases of dexamethasone (DXM), dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP), and solid dispersion of cediranib (AZD/PVP) were achieved. Employing the solid dispersion technique to increase the solubility of cediranib was necessary to enhance its release. Therapeutic efficacy and systemic toxicity of local drug administration via our devices were examined in an intracranial 9L gliosarcoma rat model. Local delivery of DSP was effective in reducing edema but led to DXM induced weight loss at high doses in a pilot study. DXM, which is much less water-soluble than DSP, was used subsequently to reduce the dose delivered. The use of DXM enabled long-term, sustained zero-order release and a higher payload than DSP. Local deliveries of DXM and AZD/PVP were demonstrated to be as effective as systemic dosing in alleviating edema. Edema reduction was associated with survival benefit, despite continuous tumor progression. Animals treated with locally delivered DXM did not suffer from body weight loss and corticosterone suppression, which are adverse effects induced by systemic DXM. Local drug administration using our device is superior to traditional systemic administration as it minimizes systemic toxicity and allows increased drug concentration in the tumor by circumventing the blood brain barrier. A much lower dose can therefore be utilized to achieve similar efficacy. Our drug delivery system can be used with other therapeutic agents targeting brain tumor to achieve therapeutic efficacy without systemic toxicity. Thesis: Ph. D., Harvard-MIT Program in Health Sciences and Technology, 2014.; Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.; Includes bibliographical references (pages 115-127). 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Characterization of cochlear transcription, translation and energy extraction in aging and noise-induced pathology http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/95864 Characterization of cochlear transcription, translation and energy extraction in aging and noise-induced pathology Lysaght, Andrew Christopher Success in otologic practice is currently limited by the diagnostic tools and treatment options available to address an individual's specific presentation of hearing loss. This limitation results from insufficient characterization of the inner ear's biochemical environment as well as physical hurdles associated with accessing inner ear tissues. The encapsulation of the hearing organ within a bony shell and delicate nature of its tissues make standard tissue biopsy techniques impossible and leave many imaging methods impractical. This thesis sought to approach these clinical limitations in two ways: (1) performing novel transcriptional and translational characterizations of inner ear tissues and (2) development of a novel technique to access and communicate diagnostic information from within the inner ear. The first part of this thesis employs whole transcriptome shotgun sequencing to study murine inner ear transcriptional activity in young, healthy animals as well as changes associated with organ aging and noise-induced auditory neuropathy, an important mechanism of hearing impairment in humans. Knowledge of the inner ear's transcriptional behavior (Part I) is coupled with novel translational insights provided by high-throughput tandem mass-spectrometry (Part III) studies of human inner ear fluids obtained from healthy and pathologic populations. These studies illuminate homeostatic mechanisms employed by the highly specialized inner ear tissues, providing a critical knowledge-base for inner ear scientists and pharmacologists, and identify important expression-level changes which occur during the onset and progression of inner ear pathologies. While these high-throughput studies offer the powerful ability to gain a wealth of knowledge into which genes are active within the inner ear, functional assessment of the specific role these genes play must be assessed in a more focused manner. Phenotypic characterization of mice with specific genetic mutations (Part II) has been performed to provide critical insight into the specific role Fgf23 plays in development and maintenance of the auditory system. The second arm of this thesis seeks to provide clinical practicality to the above work by developing a method to safely access the inner ear environment to gather and communicate diagnostic information (Part IV). A guinea pig model was utilized to develop an approach to insert microelectrodes into the fluid spaces of the inner ear in order to harness and monitor the natural electrochemical gradient of the organ. The useful energy extracted from this "biological battery" was used to power a combined microchip/radio transmitter capable of performing voltage-sensing operations within endolymph and wirelessly relaying this information to an external receiver. This study was the first to utilize a mammalian electrochemical potential to power an electronic device. By performing this task while preserving the integrity of the hearing organ this work provides the first, critical proof-of-concept demonstration toward clinically-applicable sensing and therapeutic devices powered by the inner ear. Further refinement of this technique into a long-term, fully-implantable device will enable previously impossible longitudinal studies of organ behavior in awake, behaving subjects and the incorporation of sensing modalities into current inner ear prostheses to monitor biochemical changes and maximize patient benefits.

D., Harvard-MIT Program in Health Sciences and Technology, 2014.; Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.; Includes bibliographical references (pages 147-163). 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Injectable chemokine-releasing gelatin matrices for enhancing endogenous regenerative responses in the injured rat brain http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/95863 Injectable chemokine-releasing gelatin matrices for enhancing endogenous regenerative responses in the injured rat brain Lim, Teck Chuan Brain injuries acquired from hemorrhage, ischemic strokes and trauma affect millions worldwide each year and often cause irreversible loss of neural tissue that disrupts vital neurological functions. Cell transplantation has traditionally been the strategy for achieving neuroregeneration but endogenous regenerative responses such as neurogenesis and neovascularization are increasingly recognized as an elegant alternative. These responses are directed toward injured tissues via chemokine signaling such as the stromal cell-derived factor-I a (SDF-1 [alpha])/CXCR4 pathway and offer the potential to replace lost neurovascular elements. Endogenous regenerative responses are, however, not fully effective in the injured brain. Two prominent barriers are the loss of chemokine expression and disappearance of stroma following tissue loss in the brain lesion, which lead to sub-optimal engagement of endogenous regenerative responses and inability of recruited cells to infiltrate the lesion. The overall goal of this thesis was therefore to develop an injectable lesion-filling matrix that could re-establish chemokine release and stroma, thereby enhancing endogenous regenerative responses. Toward this goal, we demonstrated injectable gelatin-hydroxylphenylpropionic acid (Gtn-HPA) hydrogels as an appropriate scaffolding material that was permissive for proliferation, migration and differentiation of adult neural progenitor cells (aNPCs). We also synthesized dextran sulfate/chitosan polyelectrolyte complex nanoparticles (PCN), which could encapsulate SDF-1[alpha] efficiently and sustain its release for 4 weeks. When used in an in vitro migration assay to fill a core region that was surrounded by an aNPC-laden hydrogel construct, the resulting Gtn-HPA/SDF- 1[alpha]-PCN matrix recruited aNPCs to accumulate around and migrate into the core region. When injected into the brain lesion in a rat model of intracerebral hemorrhage, Gtn-HPA/SDF-1[alpha]-PCN matrix successfully increased the migration of endogenous neuronal precursors into the injured striatum and amplified neovascularization. Gtn-HPA/SDF-l[alpha]-PCN matrix also led to a newly formed vasculature within the lesion and supported infiltration by endogenous cells that included neutrophils expressing CXCR4 and VEGF. The neutrophil infiltrate did not spread to surrounding tissue or induce necrosis and compelled further investigation for their role in the injured brain. Importantly, Gtn-HPA/SDF-l[alpha]-PCN matrix reduced brain tissue loss and improved behavioral recovery. Overall, Gtn-HPA/SDF-l[alpha]-PCN matrix offered an opportunity to enhance endogenous regenerative responses and confer benefits to the injured rat brain. Thesis: Ph.

The development of materials that prevent bacterial adhesion is therefore of paramount importance, and it requires a thorough understanding of the materials and bacterial surface properties that enable adhesive interactions. We herein design model surfaces and examine the interplay between micro-scale geometry, surface energy and bacterial surface properties with respect to adhesion, with the ultimate goal of understanding bacterial adhesion in structured environments, and establishing principles for design of novel surfaces that effectively repel bacteria. We first study adhesion of Escherichia coli to engineered surfaces possessing superficially unfavorable geometries. We show that cells can overcome geometric constraints with the aid of flagella, which are able to reach between narrow crevices, thus improving adhesion and expanding the range of surfaces to which cells can adhere. We examine binding of purified flagella to abiotic surfaces by means of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and show that flagella bind preferentially to hydrophobic surfaces, yet they do not appreciably bind to hydrophilic surfaces. Using mutant strains, we investigate the role of flagella in surface attachment of live cells and demonstrate that flagellated cells adhere best to hydrophobic substrates; however flagella may impede cell adhesion to hydrophilic surfaces. To further explore hydrophilic, structured environments with physiological relevance, we examine mucin-a natural hydrogel that typically harbors microbes in animals, while protecting the host. We purify mucins and use them in their native, three-dimensional configuration to probe bacterial swimming behavior and surface attachment in their presence. We demonstrate that mucins maintain-and possibly enhance-swimming ability for E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and show that they greatly reduce adhesion to underlying substrates. Finally, we build on our established design principles and construct anti-adhesive surfaces by combining hydrophilic chemistries with topographic features smaller than cellular dimensions. This work suggests a path toward anti-adhesive materials that may be optimized for mechanical robustness, longevity and specific environments of application. Thesis: Ph.

Building raised bed against a fence?
My husband and I have a very small backyard in an urban area, and we decided to build a raised garden bed along the fence using concrete pavers. We've researched tips on building this type of raised beds, but we still aren't sure how to protect the fence (which is ~5 months old, cedar, untreated wood). We'd like to grow produce in the bed, so I am concerned with any solution that would involve potential toxins leaching into the soil.
Ideas we've considered:
-Protecting the fence with some sort of plastic? My concern is that might not allow the fence to breathe.
-Building a protective "wall" against the fence out of 4"-wide cinder blocks.
-Covering fence with cement blue board.
-Building a "buffer" against the fence with treated wood, and then maybe covering that wood with plastic to prevent chemicals from leaching into the soil? Or maybe covering fence with some extra cedar boards for protection.
-Installing some kind of french drain?
Also, I read on another forum that someone suggested laying a perforated pipe surrounded by crushed stone along the bottom of the fence to improve drainage. Is this recommended? Where would the pipe drain to?'
Thanks in advance!
A couple other options I've read that I forgot to mention are:
1) To paint the cedar fence with asphalt emulsion or foundation waterproofing material;
2) Use an EPDM rubber sheet on the face of the fence that will be holding the soil
What do you think?
Why do you need the bed to be raised?
Don't add any materials that could leach toxins if you want to grow edibles.
I think only way to protect the fence would be to leave a space between it and the raised portion and then build a box around the whole raised area.
You are proposing to create a problem --a rotting fence -- and then spending time and effort trying to figure out how to prevent the problem in spite of its existence. The only good method is as Lyfia suggest ... keep an air gap (several inches at least) between the raised bed and the fence. There is no other way. And this creates another problem ... a place where trash is trapped and maintenance is more difficult because of limited access. Cedar will disappoint you with its shortened life span if you don't make sure it is able to dry quickly after its gets wet.
I ask the same question as Lyfia ... why does the garden need to be raised? If you wish to raise the grade, the proper way is to create the raised area and place the fence on top of it. Placing anything against the fence will ensure that it doesn't dry quickly.
Ditto - keep space between fence and raised beds, but plenty of options:
Here is a link that might be useful: materials for raised beds
Why would you want to build a raised bed? I know for our yard, the soil is so compact with roots that we can't even get a shovel or pick in to plant any flowers. The only solution to being able to use the area is to build a planter.
I was on here looking for information on how to protect the fence and my husband and I thought the only way would be to make sure there is a gap...unless there was a better space saving way to do it, of course.
I know exactly what you are dealing with. After 3 years of failed attempts to plant anything in my tree root infested ground I gave up and started building planter boxes. They are simple to make, I use redwood or cedar fence boards. I put a bottom with drainage. They can be made in any size you wish. So far I have made 12 boxes of varying sizes. I can make one in a couple of hours. It is working out for me.
Thank you, cakbu I currently have two that aren't as pretty as yours and wanted to add something more permanent and visually appealing to our outdoor landscape.
For now the noses work great. Maybe I could keep the boxes I alread have and put up a fascade...

back signals don't work but front do
So I drive a 1993 ford explorer and my back signals don't work at all and my front signals do but they just stay on instead of ticking and I checked fuses and changed bulbs and they still don't work any ideas?
Do the brake lights work? Do the back lamps work when the headlamps are turned on?
If none of these work, then suspect a loss of a ground connection.
If only the signal lamps are affected, the search is narrowed. Without the additional load of the rear signal lamps, the thermally operated blinker relay won't work, or works erratically. Both rear signal lamps are inoperative. My first guess: You have lost continuity in the rear signal lamp circuits. Since both are affected, look for a connection that is common to both. I suspect it is a ground connection. If this is not the problem, you need to broaden the search.
The right and left signal lamps are fed by 2 separate circuits. I'd be surprised if both of these were out at the same time except in cases of wire cutting, etc.
If a simple item is not the cause, then you will need a circuit diagram to sort things out.
You did not mention anything about the condition of the signal lamp assembly. If it is corroded out, it may need replacing. Are both lamp sockets in good condition?

Jacques Greene's Allez-Allez mix
Canadian producer of R&B-filled club music makes an autumnal mix of many colours and moods.
Montreal producer will preview Vase's art and fashion collaborations at a special London show.
Published: 09/08/12
Our favourite Montreal house/R&B producer Jacques Greene is having a good year. Having recently opened for The xx in North America, he was also behind the "Bloc cancellation consolation" party at Peckham Palais which saw Actress, Martyn and Jacques play to a packed, sweaty crowd until the wee hours (we can vouch for the sweat). And if you cast your mind back to January (it was cold then, remember?), he announced his label Vase with, intriguingly, future releases to include fashion pieces. There'll be the chance to glimpse that future at a newly announced Vase showcase at XOYO on 5th October (event details) which will feature collaborations with art/fashion designers Trusst and film-makers No Problem, plus of course Jacques and a few "special guests". Apparently the first 200 tickets will each receive a limited edition Vase release. Did someone say collectable?

Top 10 Winter Energy Saving Tips
UPDATED February 5, 2014
By WeatherBug Sr. Meteorologist, James West
Winter is here and heating bill is skyrocketing. Here are a few energy saving tips that could save you a few bucks:
- 1. Use a programmable thermostat: Lets you lower temperatures during the day when no one is home, which allows you to:
- 2. Turn down the thermostat: Dropping the thermostat to 68 degrees from the normal 72 to 75 degrees will save between 5 to 20 percent. If using oil or natural gas, dropping the thermostat to 55 at night will save another 5 to 20 percent.
- 3. Clean or replace furnace filter at least once a season: Dirty filters restrict air flow and increase energy use.
- 4.Get a tune-up: A service tune-up before the heating season begins will save up to 5 percent.
- 5. Reduce hot water temperature: Setting the hot water temperature to 120 degrees will save 7 to 11 percent. Check dishwasher setting to make sure this meets requirements.
- 6. Insulate hot water pipes: Especially the ones coming out of the water heater. This will decrease the amount of time water needs to run before it gets warm. This will save on water and heating bills.
- 7. Seal up leaks: Caulk and foam, available at home improvement stores, will fill gaps around doors and windows that could be letting cold air rush inside.
- 8. Open those drapes: Let the sunshine do some of the work and allow it to heat your house, for free. Close them back up at night to help insulate.
- 9. Keep fireplace damper closed when not in use: An open fireplace is like keeping a door open; it will allow cold air to come in, and warm air to escape.
- 10. Turn off the light: Be sure to turn lights off in rooms that are not in use. Unplug appliances, like extra refrigerators and freezers, and electronics that are not used anymore.

Differentiating between peas-Rookie mistake!
Hello there! This is my first year as a veggie-gardener. Back in March I planted Burpee shelling peas and snap peas. Like a rookie, I was certain I'd remember which kind of pea I planted in which bed...BUT that was not the case.
Right now, one bed of pea plants are about 4' tall, the others are maybe 2.5'-3' tall. Both are blossoming, and one bed has produced peas. They look an awful lot like snap peas, but is there a sure-fire way to tell if they are going to grow into shelling peas? From my other research it seems like all peas start out looking like little snap peas. Thanks for your help!
When you eat a whole pod of mature snap peas, the pod walls are not fibrous. Eat a shelling pea pod and peas - taste is still delicious! - but you end up with a mouth full of fibre from the pods.
Yes very young shelling peas can be eaten as snow peas, because this fibre only develops when the peas inside the pod develop, but as soon as the pods are a little more mature, it becomes very obvious which type is which.

How to extend/lengthen the Ikea Rationell drawer depth?
(I posted on Ikeafans. Hoping someone here could also help).
Anyway to extend or lengthen the depth of a Rationell drawer?
Opposite of the thread below (shortening the drawer), I need just about 1-2 inches longer.
I'm trying to squeeze 2 Rationell trash containers under my sink cab. My sink cab is pulled out 4 inches from the wall, so I have plenty of space.
Of course I'll have to insert a separate longer plywood piece for the horizontal piece (like this thread)
In my 36" sink cab, I'm trying to put both containers on the left side w / a pull-out drawer.
Appreciate your help finding the thread (I did search), or thinking outside of the box.
Thank you very much,

Legislators to attend earthquake early warning conference Sept. 3-5
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
, Media Relations August 29, 2014
ATTENTION: Reporters covering politics, public policy or science
WHAT: An international conference that will draw California politicians as well as emergency response officials and scientists from around the world to discuss earthquake early warning systems and strategies for establishing networks in California, the U.S., Europe and many other countries.
In the wake of a major 6.0 magnitude quake Aug. 24 in Napa, Calif., state legislators, the lieutenant governor and the mayor of San Francisco will join scientists and representatives from government agencies in discussing current plans for a state and West Coast early warning system and possible funding opportunities to build such a system.
WHEN: Wednesday through Friday, Sept. 3-5. Legislators will attend the meeting between 1:30 and 3 p.m. Wednesday, Sept 3, but media are invited to attend any day. Click here for agenda.
WHERE: Banatao Auditorium, Sutardja Dai Hall, UC Berkeley. Click here for a map.
WHO: The speakers and attendees include
- State Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Pacoima)
- State Sen. Jerry Hill (D-San Mateo)
- California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom
- San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee
- Suzette Kimball, acting director of the U.S. Geological Survey
- Mark S. Ghilarducci, director of the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services
- Richard Allen, director of the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory, UC Berkeley
- Thomas Heaton, director of the Earthquake Engineering Research Laboratory, Caltech
- John Vidale, director of the Pacific NW Seismic Network, University of Washington
DETAILS: The Third International Conference on Earthquake Early Warning will focus on how countries such and Japan and Mexico have created nation-wide earthquake alerting systems, and effective strategies for building such systems in California, the U.S. West Coast, Canada, and countries as far flung as Jordan, Pakistan, Korea, China and Mongolia.
Representatives of agencies ranging from NASA and Chevron to PG&E and the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system also will be in attendance. Some of these agencies are already testing an early warning system called ShakeAlert, created by the USGS, UC Berkeley, Caltech and the University of Washington and funded in part by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the USGS. ShakeAlert gave Bay Area agencies between five and 10 seconds of warning of shaking from the Napa quake.
NOTE: Reporters planning to attend should contact Robert Sanders (firstname.lastname@example.com, 510-643-6998) to reserve a spot.

All NYC airports are open but are running only limited arrival and departure flights. Additionally, traffic situations are extremely challenging. Public transportation services have begun to reopen, but many city access points are still closed. Traffic is still very heavy, causing lengthy delays.
Additionally, the NYC Marathon is still scheduled to take place on Sunday, November 4th, despite the recent storm damage, and race accommodations will likely add to the existing challenges.
SuperShuttle services for Saturday November 3rd are closed to new reservations. This applies to the following airports:
Private sedan services, through Ecar, are closed currently to new reservations and will remain closed through Monday, November 5th.
We encourage all travelers to call their airline prior to booking airport transportation to verify the flight status as not all airlines have restarted service. If your flight is scheduled to continuing as scheduled, please be prepared for major road delays both to and from Manhattan.
For more information on the state of NYC airport operations, please check out the Port Authority Alerts.
Limited service is due to a mounting fuel shortage in the NYC area. Restrictions may be lifted at any time if fuel supplies become more readily available.
The NYC Marathon has been cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy. Service restrictions noted above still apply.
If you've got a question and you can't find the answer here, please check out the main SuperShuttle FAQ or contact our customer care team.

Amped Up Urban Adventure Race April 7 in Rockford
By Doug Halberstadt
Sports Columnist
Earlier this week, I opened up my e-mail, and there was an offer from one of those discount promotion companies. Let's just say for the sake of anonymity this one's name rhymes with coupon.
They were offering 51 percent off an entry fee into an Amped Up Urban Adventure Race. Normally, when presented with any offer that would involve me participating in a race, I automatically hit delete. My race days are long behind me. This one was different, though.
In addition to the fabulous discount, the other thing that was too good to be true was this event was taking place less than 1 mile from my house. That was the hook they used to get me to open up the e-mail. It worked.
After reviewing the fine print, I found out I can get an entry into this adrenaline junkie event for only $39. It's normally an $80.12 value. How could I possibly pass this one up?
Even if it were free, I'm not sure this is the event for me. I usually go to this website for two-for-one dining offers or half-price pizzas. Imagine my surprise when I saw this one. How dare they?
Sunday, April 7, racers of all experience levels will pedal, sprint and paddle their way through a trifecta of physical events and end the competition in a specially-designed urban obstacle course. The first three parts of the event span approximately 6 miles, 8 miles and 4 miles, respectively. Each event raises money for a community organization or cause. Youth and family divisions encourage participation from all people who want to take part in the activity. Races begin at 8 a.m. at the YMCA Log Lodge in Rockford.
Unfortunately, this offer has now expired. I'm sure if this is something that you'd be interested in, you could get more information and details by going to www.ampedupadventurerace.com or by calling the local YMCA at (815) 987-2252.
Even at full price, I'm sure you'll have a blast! ENJOY! I hope it'll be a nice day, and while you're adventure racing, I hope to be hitting the links. I wonder if they have a coupon for reduced green fees?
Doug Halberstadt can be reached via e-mail at email@example.com.

I would vote this for mod of the year, but it's not a mod.
OpenMW is a new and modern engine based on the one that runs the 2002 Game of the Year, The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. The engine (OpenMW) will come with its own editor (OpenCS) which will allow the user to edit or create their own games. Both OpenCS en OpenMW are written from scratch and aren't made to support any third party programs the original Morrowind engine used to improve its functionality.
To give you a better idea of what this project is about, here are some of the aims for the future of the OpenMW engine:
NOTE: Playing Morrowind with this engine still requires one to own the Morrowind data files.
OpenCS will support the editing of for all OpenMW features. We aim for the editor to stay fully up-to-date with the corresponding OpenMW version, allowing the user to edit any newly implemented feature. It will also support editor plugins, files that add to the engine code which can extend the editor's functionality and allow it to be used as a debugging tool for OpenMW content. The OpenCS is not based on the editing tool which came with the original Morrowind game, it is a program made by modders for modders.
Important properties of the OpenCS are:

Would it be possible to implement stealth kill animations?
OpenMW is an engine, not a mod. It will allow modders to add custom animations.
this engine is supporting destroyable props? like walls ect. you know for siege mods.
and how about ragdolls? and if it has it then how they work? i hope like half-life 2
Haha, let's first get to v1.0. After that, we or other developers will start implementing new features.

I love the idea of having a 5 yr journal of sorts. Some of the questions posed on each page are outdated (for instance, what was the last movie you rented?) My only concern is if this book can REALLY hold up to 5 yrs of daily entries. Binding is not THAT sturdy from the feel of it. But I'm going to give it a shot. Great gift idea for anyone who has a lot going on and may find joy in documenting their state of mind from year to year.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? accurate
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? accurage
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. high
Writer daughter very happy with
My granddaughter is using the journal so it seems to be serving its purpose.
I've had a lot of fun opening up to the date and discovering what today's question is. I'm always telling myself I need to journal, so I can remember all the memories later... but never get around to it. This gives me little snippets to look back on and remember, without taking me forever to write it out. I love it! The design is crisp and clean, and I love the cover as well. Looking forward to writing in this for the next few years!

Long-tailed House Hunting
For a short period I watched a pair of Long-tailed Tits moving around a large bush in the Woodland that I walk. It is behaviour that I observed last year of another pair and subsequently they made a nest in the location.
It certainly wasn't the kind of feeding behaviour that one would have associated with this species in recent months. So I am assuming that this pair may be searching a suitable site ready for this year. Long-tailed Tits prefer low thick bushes and build their nest out of sight deep in the bush. They rear one brood of 8 to 12 from April through to June.

Emerging Flutters
The latest Butterfly images taken as a result of my Woodland Walk yesterday.
The Comma (Polygonia c-album) has emerged from hibernation over Winter.
Discovered along a sunny woodland ride and pitched in the open, suggests that this is a male of the species, which is normally difficult to differentiate. The female tends to have a shorter wider body.
This female Brimstone (Gonepteryx rhamni) below was perched in the sun. Typically for a female, it maintained a perch position rather than keeping mostly on the wing as the males tend to do at this time.
I had observed this male below flying along and the yellow of its upper wings was almost 'glowing' bright yellow in the sunlight.
One of the few flowers available for Brimstone to pitch on at this stage is the Primrose.

Professor Susan Street
QUT Professor Susan Street appointed Qld Art Gallery chair
QUT's Professor Susan Street has been appointed chair of the Queensland Art Gallery (QAG) board of trustees.
Professor Street is executive director of QUT Precincts, which encompasses the University's arts venues including the William Robinson Gallery and the QUT Art Museum.
She was formerly the executive dean of QUT's Creative Industries Faculty and head of Dance at QUT for ten years.
Professor Street said the appointment was a great honour: "I have very big shoes to fill. Professor John Hay was a much admired and skilful chair".
She said she wanted to build on the momentum of community outreach the Gallery was already known for and increase collaboration with Southbank's other cultural institutions including the Queensland Centre for Performing Arts.
"QAGOMA has designed and delivered outstanding engagement activities for young people and a strong outreach and regional touring program," Professor Street said.
"Queensland exclusives such as the current Portrait of Spain serve to profile Brisbane as a significant cultural city and provide high calibre international exhibitions for a growing audience. Visitation to the gallery grew by over 200,000 in the years 2010 - 2011."
Professor Street said the priority for the Board was to recruit a director to replace Tony Ellwood.

IAAF calls for 4-year doping bans
Aug 8, 2013, 11:03 AM EDT
Track and field's international governing body (IAAF) announced intentions to return to a four-year ban for serious doping offenses beginning in 2015.
The current sentence for first-time offenders is up to two years.
"The new WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) Code, which will come into force on 1 January 2015, will reflect our firm commitment to have tougher penalties and the IAAF will return to 4 year sanctions for serious doping offences," the IAAF said in a statement posted on its website.
As strong as that statement is, there's no guarantee that the four-year ban will be implemented. The new WADA code is up for approval at the World Conference on Doping in Sport in Johannesburg from Nov. 12-15.
"The four-year ban is not a slam dunk," Abby Hoffman, the IAAF's anti-doping task force coordinator, told The Associated Press. "We need to be sure that space is carved in in the anti-doping campaign for athletics to impose the ban that we know our athletes and our members want."
Track and field has been rocked by doping news the last two months, from Tyson Gay, Asafa Powell and Veronica Campbell-Brown failing drug tests to a Turkish scandal that includes more than 40 athletes, including teenagers being given illegal substances.
