Finance Fund Awards $100,000 to Build Medina Creative Pet Play
PR Newswire
MEDINA, Ohio, Feb. 12, 2013
MEDINA, Ohio, Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A doggy spa and daycare facility opened at Medina Creative Housing, LLC (MCH) today, thanks in part to a $100,000 economic development grant from Finance Fund, a statewide financial intermediary that links communities in need with public and private sources of capital.
Today's ribbon cutting ceremony and open house welcomed "pets and their people" to tour the pet palace, located at 4080 Creative Living Way. The new 3,000 sq. ft. Medina Creative Pet Play facility will employ 12 MCH residents with disabilities and offer a doggy daycare, spa and pet photography studio. In addition, doting dog owners can visit the facility's doggy boutique to buy pet clothes, furniture and Creative Canine Cookie doggie biscuits. During construction, the new facility provided jobs and work experience to MCH's property maintenance/construction vocational training and Supportive Employment Enclave workers who worked alongside skilled construction professionals.
In addition to the doggy daycare, Finance Fund awarded MCH with pre-development and economic development grants to build a commercial hydroponic greenhouse, which is providing training and jobs for 30 people with disabilities and professional staff. "We are extremely grateful for Finance Fund's ongoing partnership and support of our mission," said Michael Carlson, MCH board president.
"The doggy day care is an exciting social enterprise that provides employment opportunities traditionally closed to people with disabilities," said Finance Fund CEO James R. Klein. "It's the area's first pet care services facility and could potentially generate revenue to enhance MCH services to special needs clients."

How to feather in these floors
X-post in Old House....
Here is our LR/DR floor, with the plywood pieces that we need to figure out how to fix.
Original thought was to feather in new hardwood, harvested from elsewhere. I've got a decent pile of it, taken from tearing out the bathroom and hall.
Here's the quandry. As I research how feathering is typically done, you pull out the boards to the last joint and put new wood in to replace the removed board. But these boards are all r-e-a-l-l-y long, i.e., pretty close to joint-less. So I'd need to make random cuts, basically creating joints that aren't there. Is this the way I should do it?
My other thought is to just make a straight-line strip of wood from wall to wall, a la transition strip. I could then either just feather in the part where the square piece extends wider than the "bookcase" strips, or else do another kind of pattern in that area.
Thought? Other options?
If you have enough salvaged material to do the repair, then that is the way you should go. Ideally, if you can find a building the same vintage as yours being demolished, you could probably find the longleaf crown grade heart pine that I see in the pic (I am assuming that is what it is).
However, since you probably will need to use what you have, then here is how you do it:
Look at where the butt joins are in the existing flooring. Lay out what you have to cover the plywood fill-ins and provide you with an visually acceptable result. Once you are confident that you will have enough flooring, then make the butt cuts (crosscuts) in the existing flooring.
It's kind of like doing a puzzle. You have to discover where to make the cuts in the easiest way possible with the tools you may have access to.
We have power and hand saws to make the cuts, along with sharp chisels to clean them out. Some professionals have routers and jigs to make the cuts. You actually can do most of the cuts with a circular saw with a carbide tipped blade and a reciprocating saw with a twelve inch or longer blade...then finish with hammer and chisel. This can be done, if you look at the problem and then look at a solution...much like what you're already doing. Essentially you are engineering the job.
You will have to cut some tongues to get some replacement boards to fit in the vacant spaces you create, but once you've topnailed them in...no one will know. You also have to find out where the concealed nails are in the existing floor to prevent cutting into any of them when you make the cuts. We find where they are using rare earth magnets...you can find nail locating tools out there.
You could plan for a decorative inset instead of weaving in replacement material, but that is your design choice.
Just so you know...just a few years ago crown grade longleaf heart pine cost $13 per square foot and upwards. Don't know what it costs today.
Good luck with this.
Thanks, Glen. The part that's got me stumped is how to cut the butt joint. A circular saw obviously has too big of a cut width. A a recip saw wouldn't be as clean/straight. Is this where the router comes in: a plunge cut of some kind, perhaps?
On one hand, I'd love to try my hand at the feathering and develop my skills on a house that's cheap enough it will be forgiving of my learning curve. :-) OTOH, given the long boards, the decorative inset sure seems easier.
Another option would be to carefully remove the entire floor up to a line where your voids end. If you take care to avoid breaking tongues and grooves, and keep your long boards intact, you can reinstall the wood and blind nail it. This would avoid losing tongues or grooves where you're weaving in and probably end up with less waste. Then you can fill in the last bit with the hall and bathroom wood.
Much of the old wood we've removed was put down with cut nails so it's easy to pry up from the tongue side and easy to de-nail.
It might not make sense with many products but old Pine can be hard to match and expensive so conserving what you have is a good way to go.
JFC: someone over in Old House suggested I redo the whole thing as well, and I'm afraid that's more than even this intrepid DIY-er wants to take on for a house that will be worth $60K when fixed up.
It might be a consideration if the stinking floor wasn't on the diagonal, maximizing the number of boards affected by these durn cutouts. :-) Or if it was our forever house. Or if it had a potential resale value several times actual, by becoming a true period restoration.
I was really wanting to hone my feathering skills on this one, but at this point I'm afraid the relatively clustered butt joints would stand out, even if done well. I think I'm leaning towards doing the inset.

Unconventional photoconduction in an atomically thin semiconductorOctober 7, 2014 3:36 pm | by David L. Chandler, MIT | News | Comments
It's a well-known phenomenon in electronics: Shining light on a semiconductor, such as the silicon used in computer chips and solar cells, will make it more conductive. But now researchers have discovered that in a special semiconductor, light can have the opposite effect, making the material less conductive instead. This new mechanism of photoconduction could lead to next-generation excitonic devices.
Charge transport jamming in solar cellsOctober 7, 2014 2:08 pm | News | Comments
Conventional silicon solar cells could have an inexpensive competitor in the near future. Researchers in Europe have examined the working principle of a cell where an organic-inorganic perovskite compound acts as a light absorber. The scientists observed that charge carriers accumulate in a layer in these photovoltaic elements. If this jam can be dissolved, the already considerable efficiency of these solar cells could be further improved.

Nanostructures of virtually any possible shape can now be made using a combination of techniques developed to exploit the unique properties of so-called perovskites. The group based in the Netherlands, developed a pulsed laser deposition technique to create patterns in ultra thin layers, one atomic layer at a time. The perovskites' crystal structure is undamaged by this soft lithography technique, maintaining electrical conductivity.
Stressed out: Research sheds new light on why rechargeable batteries failOctober 2, 2014 8:18 am | by Marcia Goodrich, Michigan Technological Univ. | News | Comments
Drawn relentlessly by their electrical charges, lithium ions in a battery surge from anode to cathode and back again. Yet, no one really understands what goes on at the atomic scale as lithium ion batteries are used and recharged. Using transmission electron microscopy, researchers are now glimpsing what can happen to anodes as lithium ions work their way into them. The "atomic shuffling" these ions perform leads to rapid anode failure.

Ways to eliminate grasshoppers
I'm thinking ahead to this summer, and would like ideas to get rid of grasshoppers without using chemicals. We just built our home in the country, and last year the grasshoppers were eating everything; they even stripped our alfalfa field. I want to have a large vegetable and flower garden, but won't be able to if we have grasshoppers like last year. Has anyone had success with ducks or chickens eating enough of them?
Chickens or ducks will completely eradicate the grasshoppers, as well as ticks. The only problem you may run into, is that they like their greens too. Ducks would be less likely to attack your fruits and veggies, as they don't scratch around like chickens, and they don't have sharp beaks to break into veggies and fruits. Also, waiting until your plants have some size to them, will keep them from eating them as seedlings, or just plain stomping them when the plants are young and fragile.
Either are great entertainment to watch trying to catch insects, especially when they get after a june bug. :D
Wanted to add, runner ducks might be a good choice, either way, you probably don't want any heavy meat ducks, as they will be fat and won't travel as broadly in your fields. Mallards or runners would be good choices. The mallards will be able to fly, which is always neat. The runners are quite comical in their looks, they are like bowling pins with heads.

Southerngurl, thanks for your reply. About how many ducks do you think I would need? We have 85 acres, but my goal would be to keep my garden and flower area free of grasshoppers. I had ducks as a kid on the farm, but can't remember if cats generally bother ducks? We have several lazy barn cats, so I doubt if they would bother them, but just wondering!
One control method not commonly used, yet, is "Nosema locustae" a protazoa that only affects grasshoppers and crickets. It is available in bran flakes that is spread around for them to eat, if they wish. This is a passive control and therefore not favored by those that have a great need for something more active.
Ahahahahahaha! Yeah, a cat will bother a duck...once! If the cat wasn't more maneuverable than the duck the duck would eat the cat. Geese are more aggressive (and painful), but geese won't eat bugs, so you don't want them.
Anything you can do to attract birds to your area will help. Full service would include...
Bird feeders
Bird houses
Chickens and ducks are a great idea because you get the eggs, too. And the orange yolked eggs from meat eating critters are MUCH more tasty than yellow yolked eggs from corn fed critters. Wild birds are easier to handle, however.
Okay...so my cats won't bother the ducks! One less thing to worry about! So, we do have quail, partridge a few wild turkeys, etc. that I have been feeding this winter. Will they help any with the grasshoppers? We are also planning to put up bird feeders, waterers, etc. as soon as we can. Thanks for the info.
Guineas are the way to go!
Chicks and ducks forage on bugs, grass and plants... if you let them, they can ruin a nice yard.
I have a nice yard and chickens ONLY because I let the free range in areas that I want them to go, not all over.
I also have had guineas in the past and they are the worlds best bug eaters!
They LOVE bugs and prefer them to anything else.
They are strange looking, and for the most part leave the lawn and garden alone.... although they will eat seedlings....
I am going to get a bunch of baby guineas the first week in June from Murray McMurray if anyone would like some, and can pick them up from the Salt Lake City, Utah area, let me know.
I am taking orders now.
I think they will be about $5.00 each.
Cheaper and better than a can of ant spray!
Did I mention colorful too?
The ones I am going to get will be Purple and the others will be Coral Blue.
Guineas are noisy little things, yes. And they do need something to roost in. You'd need to protect them from the elements in your area. I had some friends who had several...they were trained to enter a large dog kennel every night, but they also had plenty of trees around to provide shade and cover. Kind of important if you're going to think about raising fowl of any kind.
I loved the guineas!
A chicken/duck/guinea moat around the vegetable garden. That is, fence the garden, then put another fence outside of that fence (I would also put netting over the gap to keep the chickens/ducks/guineas in and owls/ravens/hawks out). Give them the run of the vegetable/flower garden before planting to clear out the bugs, then keep them in the "moat" the rest of the time to keep the grasshoppers from crossing into the protected area.
No, I don't do this. My chickens have the run of most of my yard, and the vegetables are covered with row covers in a fenced (but not chicken-proof) veggie area.

I've always been intimidated of getting any kind of fowl because I don't know how to care for them and they tend to attract coyotes. I have found that spraying a kaolin product on the veggie garden (and fruit trees) is very effective against most insects. Everything is sort of a ghostly white, but it works.
I have tried Nosema locustae in pretty large quantities and found it to be of limited effectiveness. Grasshoppers can just get too numerous and they travel long and wide.
Here is a link that might be useful: kaolin stuff
My husband wants chicknes, too. We had a neighbor's rooster we named Buster and his mate, Jane, who lived in our yard for 5 years. Jane lay eggs under my giant hasta. Buster had just been begining to come to my husband to eat out of his hand when Jane, then he disappeared.
It broke both of our hearts, since we're not able to de-person our animals. He wants some of our own, but we have fox and all kinds of things that eat chickens in our area.
I think grasshoppers around here might eat chickens in this area.
If you are going to erect barriers anyway, you might as well get a few chickens. They are good at keeping the bugs at bay and in my experience, they are a lot less messy than ducks.
Chicken poo from healthy chickens dries and hardens into neat little blobs in about a day. You can pick them up intact and throw them at your neighbors poodle.
Duck doo is like a large black slimey loogie that stays loogie-like for days, smells remarkable, and seems to spread out towards all the other duck loogies in the vicinity to form a loogie lake.
OK, it may not be quite that bad but, deer flies are especially fond of duck doo on those warm summer days and I sure didn't enjoy having ducks. I was forced to find them a new home after a short visit to my yard.
I have to admit though, that they all have personalities and it's really hard not to become attached to them as you raise them and watch them mature. And I liked my ducks, but there was just no safe place to walk between the loogie lakes in and around the coop when I went out there.
I now have a large pen about 250' from the house, with just chickens. When we want them to do a bug round-up we let them out and lure them down to the fenced garden area.
Thanks for the Chicken moat link. That's the coolest thing. Makes me wish I had room to build one (would love chickens or guineas) but then the neighbors, the homeowners ass'n, the county would all be on me like a duck on a june bug.
I agree that ducks are very messy in the poop department. They live in our community pond and feeding them is discouraged. They reward feeders by pooping on their walkways and steps.
I have seen them searching for bugs in my lawn however. I've made the lawn service quit putting any chemicals on my lawn and they like it here (the ducks) which is fine with me as long as they move along after eating.
They don't go in my neighbors after bugs, makes me think the chemicals kill bugs or discourage ducks. I'd rather have a few bugs than chemicals.
Nothing beats turkeys for getting rid of grasshoppers. They don't seem to eat the garden either, and a cat won't bother a turkey cause the turkey wouldn't put up with it.
We sold some turkeys to a farmer when I was young for grasshopper control. He called back and wanted more because the ones he got had such full craws they couldn't' even move!
I'll add my 2-cents, which is pretty much like what everyone else said. When I had my farm, chickens and turkeys took good care of the "hoppers', and neither ever did much harm to my plants. They much prefer the grasshoppers to veggies. Not only do you turn the bugs into eggs or meat, but you get additional manure deposited rigth where you need it.
The Garden Guy
** New Article: "Growing Potatoes Under Hay"
Chickens....oh how I want chickens...we are going to build an open chicken coop this spring. I plan to get 3 Buff orvingtons (please excuse my spelling). They are supposed to be quite nice. I think I will put up barriers (some sort of netting)around my raised beds and let than have at it in the rest of the garden. The entire garden is 75x25 feet and is enclosed with a short fence (to keep my dog out).
I'm not kidding when I say I had a 3-4 inch grasshopper in my yard this year...It was repulsive. I thought to myself...these things shouldn't be this BIG! I thought this was fluke until I saw two more!
Sorry for the rambling!

Archive for the 'Documerica' tag
South of Portland, Oregon, 1973
With the OPEC oil embargo in full swing and the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act limiting how much gas American consumers could buy, December 1973 brought plenty of change to the automotive landscape in this country, and none captured it much better than David Falconer, one of the photographers who contributed to the EPA's Documerica project. We've previously seen his photos from around Portland, Oregon, here before, but thought it worth revisiting them for the 40th anniversary of the fuel crisis. Above, a gas station in Oak Grove, Oregon; and below a couple shots of I-5 near Tigard, Oregon. What do you see here?
Escondido, California, 1972
The photographers for the Documerica project seemed to really love these photos of stacked cars at the junkyard. We've already seen David Falconer's pictures from a Portland, Oregon, junkyard, as well as Dick Swanson's take on a Philadelphia stack, and just recently we came across this photo that Gene Daniels took in April 1972 in Escondido, California, on the National Archives's Tumblr page. What do you see here?
Chicago, 1973
According to the caption for this John H. White photo for the Documerica project, taken in 1973, the Monroe Street commuter parking lot at Lake Shore Drive had enough parking spaces for 2,700 cars and would later be expanded to 3,600, so what you see here is only a fraction of what was there that day. And apparently – Chicagoans correct me if I'm wrong – but the modern-day street view shows that in the last 40 years it's all been turned into parks, not parking. What do you see here?
Summertime carspotting in the Seventies
By now, the kids should all be out of school and the snow on all but the tallest mountain passes should be melted, which means it's prime time for summer vacations. We're obviously partial to the hop-in-the-car-and-drive type of summer vacation, so we rounded up a few Seventies-era street scenes from the Documerica project that show Americans on the road for their summer vacations. Above, a May 1972 Boyd Norton photo taken at some scenic overlook in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.
Driving around the country on summer vacation means you need to stay somewhere, and some prefer to carry their shelter with them, including the campers in this June 1975 Charles O'Rear photo of Refugio State Beach in Santa Barbara County, California.
What better way to celebrate your country's independence than by blowing up a small part of it? Or so goes the thinking of the vacationers who stopped at the fireworks store in this September 1972 William Strode photo taken in Tennessee.
And, of course, no summer vacation is complete without a day spent on or by the water, as these vacationers are doing in this May 1972 Charles O'Rear photo of a beach on Lake Mead. What do you see in these photos?
Houston, Texas, 1970
There's dozens of different ways to identify a car, from overall dimensions to headlamp and taillamp configurations to sheetmetal topography. In our carspotting series, we've even used license plates to pinpoint the time and place. For today's carspotting photo, we'll get rid of the cars altogether and focus on the myriad hubcaps hanging on the wall of Hub Cap Center in Houston, Texas, as Danny Lyon photographed it for Documerica in April 1973. Can you identify the cars that all these caps came from?
Mazda militia prepares to ship out
In our carspotting series, we've seen plenty of photos by Charles O'Rear for the Documerica Project, and while looking for more, we came across this small set of photos he took in June 1973 on the dock on Terminal Island outside Los Angeles, as rows upon rows of Mazdas and Hondas awaited shipment, presumably throughout the rest of the United States. It's not much of a carspotting exercise, but we thought the photos were worth posting anyway. What we have to wonder is, whether these photos represent the entire Mazda color palette for that year?
Albuquerque, New Mexico, 1972
Did you ever notice that for all the wrong turns he took in Albuquerque, Bugs never actually ended up there? Photographer Danny Lyon, however did end up there in April 1972 while taking photos for the Documerica project, and while there he snapped this pic of Gaede's Wrecking Yard. It appears Gaede's is no longer around – at least, not under that name – so we have no clue where in Albuquerque it was. What do you see here?
Camp Pendleton, California, 1975
So, wait, you sign up for the Marine Corps and you get your own private beach? At least, that was the case at Camp
Agudleton Pendleton, south of Los Angeles, as we see from this photo Charles O'Rear took for the Documerica project in May 1975. We also see that the Marines of the mid-1970s had varying tastes in vehicles. What do you see here?
Newport Beach, California, 1975
Newport Beach, California, was apparently going through a growth spurt during the mid-1970s, as Charles O'Rear captured in several photos for the Documerica project. One of his focuses was on the expanding highways in and around town, resulting in these two shots. Exactly which road was being widened in the upper photo, we don't know, but it's safe to say that the lower photo depicts Jamboree Road looking north around Back Bay Drive. What do you see here?
Philadelphia, 1973, part 3
The above photo, taken by Dick Swanson in August 1973 for the Documerica project, isn't much of a carspotting image, but I still find it compelling enough to include here – that kid looks so street smart, so one has to wonder what he's doing, walking alone down a street past a lineup of cars at least as old as him. For a more conventional street scene, we'll turn to another Swanson photograph, also taken that month in Philadelphia, of the Schuykill Expressway. What do you see here?

Secret History
The epochal consequences of Woodrow Wilson's war
David Stockman
Wed, 21 Jan 2015 23:20 UTC
Wed, 21 Jan 2015 23:20 UTC
Washington DC January 20, 2015
My humble thesis tonight is that the entire 20th Century was a giant mistake.
And that you can put the blame for this monumental error squarely on Thomas Woodrow Wilson - a megalomaniacal madman who was the very worst President in American history........well, except for the last two.
His unforgiveable error was to put the United States into the Great War for utterly no good reason of national interest. The European war posed not an iota of threat to the safety and security of the citizens of Lincoln NE, or Worcester MA or Sacramento CA. In that respect, Wilson's putative defense of "freedom of the seas" and the rights of neutrals was an empty shibboleth; his call to make the world safe for democracy, a preposterous pipe dream.
Speculation rages about dead in Greek mystery tomb
Rossella Lorenzi
Discovery News
Tue, 20 Jan 2015 17:59 UTC
Discovery News
Tue, 20 Jan 2015 17:59 UTC
As expected, speculation is running wild about who the five people buried there are.
So far, forensic investigation has determined that 157 out of 550 bones found in Greece's largest ancient tomb belong to a woman who was older than 60 years, two men aged 35 and 45, a newborn baby and a cremated adult whose gender could not be verified.
According to Andrew Chugg, author of The Quest for the Tomb of Alexander the Great, the remains of the woman in her 60s should be considered the principal burial among those interred.
"It is stated that the skull and mandible and the majority of the larger bones are hers, that her skeleton is the most complete and that her bones were found mainly in the bottom of the cist burial," Chugg told Discovery News.
Chugg, the first scholar who suggested Olympias, Alexander the Great's mother, as the tomb occupant, believes the Persephone mosaic, the caryatids (female statues that serve as architectural support) and the female sphinxes found in the tomb all indicate the original burial was dedicated to a woman.
"A lady in her 60s is consistent with Olympias," Chugg said. "We do not know the year of her birth, but she died in 316 B.C., and she married Philip in about 357 B.C. She would have been 20 when she gave birth to Alexander in 356 BC, if she died at 60."
"There are no other historically prominent female members of the royal family who died in the time frame of the last quarter of the fourth century B.C. as far as we know," he added.
The Olympias hypothesis runs high also on Greek media, although several admit it's a rather puzzling one.
"If indeed the woman in the grave is Olympias and the tomb was erected in her honor, then Macedonians not only violated their customs, but they also did something that seems absurd and unthinkable: They built one of the largest and most elaborate tombs of the known world for a woman, honoring her as a demigoddess or hero," wrote the Greek Reporter, a news agency.

"It is a revolution for papyrologists," says Vito Mocella, a physicist at the Institute of Microelectronics and Microsystems in Naples, Italy, and a co-author of the study, which is published in Nature Communications.
The eruption of Vesuvius in ad 79 obliterated the nearby towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum. But the volcanic ash preserved what it destroyed - including, in Herculaneum, a library in a lavish villa thought to have belonged to Julius Caesar's father-in-law. The library contains hundreds of papyrus scrolls, dried and blasted by hot gases into what look like twisted logs of charcoal, and then buried deep under the ash.

But few people know that Executive Order 9066, signed by President Roosevelt, which permitted the roundup of Japanese and their American-born children, also paved the way for the arrest of Germans and Italians who the FBI considered security risks and labeled as "enemy aliens." Indeed the day before Roosevelt signed the order FBI agents had arrested 264 Italians, 1,296 Germans, and 2,209 on the East and West Coast. The hunt for perceived enemies was on.

Mysterious 1997 death of Hollywood screenwriter solved: Gary Devore was about to make movie exposing real reason US invaded Panama in 1989

The fact that Devore was on his way to deliver a film script that promised to explain the 'real reason' why the US invaded Panama, has long given rise to a slew of conspiracies surrounding the nature of his 'accidental' death.
It didn't help that Devore's hands were missing from the crash scene, along with the script, and that investigators could offer no plausible explanation as to how a car could leave the highway and end up in the position it was found a year after he disappeared.
Now the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal that Devore was working with the CIA in Panama and even a White House source concedes his mysterious death bears all the hallmarks of a cover-up.
The findings, published in a new documentary The Writer With No Hands, are the first testimonies ever aired that give credence to the theories that surrounded the case in the late 90s.
Comment: A word about "conspiracies", quoted from Richard Dolan's book UFOs and the National Security State: Chronology of a Coverup, 1941-1973:
The very label serves as an automatic dismissal, as though no one ever acts in secret. Let us bring some perspective and common sense to this issue.
The United States comprises large organizations - corporations, bureaucracies, "interest groups," and the like - which are conspiratorial by nature. That is, they are hierarchical, their important decisions are made in secret by a few key decision-makers, and they are not above lying about their activities. Such is the nature of organizational behavior. "Conspiracy," in this key sense, is a way of life around the globe.

In the 1940s, the children were also, as more and more evidence is revealing, the unwitting subjects of bizarre, cruel and unethical experimentation.
A recently uncovered experiment reveals the depths of the access given to so-called researchers seeking to find evidence that aboriginal children, by dint of their race, had extrasensory perception, also known as ESP, or a "sixth sense."
Fifty children at the Indian Residential School in Brandon, Manitoba, became the subjects of a series of tests that sought to establish a new measure for identifying ESP and also to find evidence of supernatural abilities of "primitive" people.
Australia's forgotten coup - and how the US godfather rules from Canberra to Kiev

Nicaragua is one of the poorest countries on earth with fewer people than Wales, yet under the reformist Sandinistas in the 1980s it was regarded in Washington as a "strategic threat". The logic was simple; if the weakest slipped the leash, setting an example, who else would try their luck?
The great game of dominance offers no immunity for even the most loyal US "ally". This is demonstrated by perhaps the least known of Washington's coups - in Australia. The story of this forgotten coup is a salutary lesson for those governments that believe a "Ukraine" or a "Chile" could never happen to them.
Australia's deference to the United States makes Britain, by comparison, seem a renegade. During the American invasion of Vietnam - which Australia had pleaded to join - an official in Canberra voiced a rare complaint to Washington that the British knew more about US objectives in that war than its antipodean comrade-in-arms. The response was swift: "We have to keep the Brits informed to keep them happy. You are with us come what may."
This dictum was rudely set aside in 1972 with the election of the reformist Labor government of Gough Whitlam. Although not regarded as of the left, Whitlam - now in his 98th year - was a maverick social democrat of principle, pride, propriety and extraordinary political imagination. He believed that a foreign power should not control his country's resources and dictate its economic and foreign policies. He proposed to "buy back the farm" and speak as a voice independent of London and Washington.
Comment: And so it goes. Perhaps the fact that the meddling in Australian politics was a "bloodless coup" was a tiny blessing. Still, it's just one more example of the decades of arrogance the US has displayed on the world stage, seeking to bend every other country to its will.
Ancient piece of leather found in Burnt City

It is incredibly uncommon to find organic material from over 5,000 years ago; environmental factors decay delicate items, causing them to rapidly deteriorate over time. As such, the leather found in the Burnt City is an incredibly rare discovery.
"Due to extensive corrosion, some experts and the archaeologists are trying to save the leather," the lead archaeologist, Professor Seyyed Mansur Sajjadi, told the Research Centre for Cultural Heritage.
Unfortunately, no more details have yet been revealed about the artefact.
The current season of excavations has also uncovered ruins of a structure in an urban area of the Burnt City. Supported by nine buttresses, the structure has two walls, each a metre thick.
170-million-year old 'fish lizard' fossil found in Scotland's Isle of Skye

Live Science
Mon, 12 Jan 2015 06:52 UTC
The specimen was a member of a group of extinct marine reptiles called ichthyosaurs. Researchers say the creature helps to fill in a gap in the fossil record during the Middle Jurassic period, which lasted from about 176 million to 161 million years ago.
"It's one of a select few specimens of that age in the world," said Stephen Brusatte, a paleontologist at the University of Edinburgh and co-author of the study, published today (Jan. 12) in the Scottish Journal of Geology. Not only that, but "this is the first time we have something distinctly Scottish," Brusatte added.
Ichthyosaurs were predatory reptiles that ruled the oceans during the time of the dinosaurs, before large sharks and whales came on the scene. The first ichthyosaurs ever discovered were found in England, and some of the same kinds of rocks where fossils of these animals were found exist in Scotland, Brusatte told Live Science. Researchers suspected the fossils were there, and bits and pieces had been found, but no ichthyosaur fossils were reported in Scotland until now.
The specimens in the study were found by an amateur fossil collector named Brian Shawcross. Instead of taking the specimen home, Shawcross donated it to a museum, Brusatte said. The new species - Dearcmhara shawcrossi - is named after him, as well as a Gaelic word for "marine lizard" (dearcmhara).
Brusatte and his colleagues found that the fossils contained the arm bone and vertebrae of a new ichthyosaur genus and species. The marine creature was likely about 14 feet (4.3 meters) long, or about the size of a motorboat, Brusatte said.

Free Men, brought to light the remarkable true history of how Muslims gave sanctuary to French Jews in Nazi-occupied Paris during Second World War. An untold "Oscar Schindler" story, the film is inspired by actual events and in this case, our 'Schindler' is Si Kaddour Benghabrit, the rector of the Grand Mosque of Paris until 1954.
Underneath the fortress of mosaics and tranquil gardens occupying an entire city block in the Latin Quarter, it is revealed the mosque's underground caverns once served as a refuge for resistance fighters and French Jews, where they could be provided with certificates of Muslim identity. Meanwhile upstairs, Benghabrit, a wise Algerian-born religious and political leader, was giving tours of the mosque to Nazi officers and their wives, unaware of what was transpiring right under their feet.

Meanwhile upstairs, Benghabrit, a wise Algerian-born religious and political leader, was giving tours of the mosque to Nazi officers and their wives, unaware of what was transpiring right under their feet.
Watch the trailer for Free Men below:
Comment: The question is this: will France's Jews today, or its Christians or anyone else, have the humanity and conscience to do the same for their Muslim brothers and sisters when the time comes? Because it is coming, only this time, it's the Muslims who will receive the treatment the Jews received during the Nazi regime. Will we let it happen? Will you let it happen?

I'm using RA-RT in trays @ room temp so no starter is required.
No starter was suggested here on apug and I dont use it.
I also use a single prewet and a stop bath of acetic acid.
I mix 1 litre working solution from the 10l kit andstore in full PET 1 liter bottles with the air squeezed out.
Hmm - why no starter? Kodak recommends using starter to make a tank solution. Is it because you're developing at room temperature?
I use the Kodak RA/RT 10 liter kits, and mix 2 liters at a time. I use a nitrogen purge on the stock bottles to remove the air. Mixed chems are in 2 liter soda bottles or 500ml water bottles with all the air squeezed out. I do room temp processing in drums, so no started is used for the developer.
Bruce, what paper are you using? The Fuji is far more readily available, at least fresh and pre-cut, but I've heard the results with room temperature in trays are more mixed than with Kodak Supra. I'd like to start doing this soon-ish, but would prefer to buy fresh paper in sheets if I can.
I also have a 600ft roll of Edge.
So all Kodak so far at room temp.
I haven't tried any Fuji yet but I was reading a recent thread and it sounded encouraging for some fuji types at room temp. I'll have to try it at some point.

I talked to Sam, Jeff Bowdell from Building and Safety, promised the Mayor and Sam he would go over there and take care of it. I also mentioned it to a reporter so if someone should knock on some doors over there, fill them in. I'm sure he will hear them before he sees them. Sam said he was going to try and catch up with Mr. Bowdell.

WelcomeHi, I'm Tom and this is my web-site. Sometimes, within ministry, it seems there are only two options.....to be a believer of the Scripture and be seen as being self righteous, judgmental, and hyprocritical or believe you have to water down the Bible to being loving, merciful, and full of grace. Well, I fall in the middle of all that...I am an emerging conservative. I am in love with the community and relational spirituality as seen in the Bible and the ministry of Jesus Christ and believe we can have it here today! Join in on the conversation, won't you?

I have been remiss in my exercise regimen due to health issues.
I headed out on the mountain bike into 3 inches of wet snow. It was very challenging, requiring a very low gear just to get up the driveway. My heart rate was high throughout this ride.
Today I felt great. It was warm enough to melt the snow and cold enough for that perfect combination to loose the feeling in your toes. I used tow warmers, but once they were wet it was all over.
Riding technical single track with 3 inches of wet snow is impossible. I restarted over and over and finally stood behind the bike and pushed it up the path. There were stretches where I could maintain with a little descent in my favor, but once it leveled off or rose it was trudging time.
The roads were pretty clear but salty and spitty. I could not keep the glasses clear, so i opted to ride without them on the way back. With any speed the front tire was sending buckets of salty water into my face. I would not recommend this as fun, but I managed to glean some entertainment out of it.
I wore a pair of silk glove liners under Pearl Izumi's thin, full finger gloves. That worked out perfectly. Plenty of grip and warmth without the mitten glove.
I mounted the Contour camera to the end of the right grip. here are some shots. click to enlarge.

AUGUSTA, Maine — Maine's secretary of state has launched a new program to help teenagers and their parents at what can be a stressful time: when kids are learning to drive.
Secretary of State Mathew Dunlap says The Parent's Supervised Driving Program aims to optimize the 35 hours of supervised driving teens are required to complete under parental supervision before receiving a license.
The program features a booklet with driving lessons parents can teach their children while they're going through the supervised training period.

Sony is sharing the PlayStation 4 with the world.
The Japanese electronics giant disclosed the existence of the new gaming system today, hyping the machine as a "supercharged PC" with the ability to effortlessly share interactive experiences, by instantly broadcasting video of gaming action or virtually handing out health potions to friends online.
"Today marks a moment of truth and a bold step forward for PlayStation," said Andrew House, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment.
Sony said the system will feature an eight-core processor that can juggle more tasks than the PlayStation 3 and be part of a new digital ecosystem that's "the fastest, most powerful gaming network."
"Our long-term vision is to reduce download times of digital titles to zero," said Mark Cerny, Sony's lead system architect on the PS4.
The PS4 is Sony's first major game machine since the PlayStation 3 went on sale in 2006.
Today's unveiling is Sony's attempt to steal the spotlight from rivals Microsoft and Nintendo, at least until Microsoft unveils its next Xbox in June, as expected, at the E3 video game expo in Los Angeles.
But one thing Sony neglected to do: show the actual device.
Instead, the two-hour event involved executives from Sony and its video game partners touting features and showing demonstration video on stage.
There was no word on price or availability, other than a flash on the screen saying "holiday 2013".
When the PlayStation 3 went on sale in the US on November 17, 2006, the 20 gigabyte model had a US$500 price tag and the 60 GB version went for US$600. They are now cheaper and come with more storage - US$270 for 250 GB and US$300 for 500 GB. Comparable models of Nintendo's Wii U and Microsoft's Xbox 360 both start at US$300.
Among the PS4's revisions is an updated controller that adds a touchpad and a "share" button. The controller also features a light bar, which means a new PlayStation camera can more easily track the device for motion control.
Sony also boasted at the New York launch event that the PS4 would work more seamlessly with its latest mobile gaming device, the PlayStation Vita, which debuted last year.
Among the games that were unveiled for the PS4 on Wednesday were the realistic racing simulator Drive Club, super-powered action sequel Infamous: Second Son, artsy puzzler The Witness and first-person shooter Killzone: Shadow Fall.
Last fall, Nintendo launched the next generation of gaming consoles with the Wii U, which comes with a tablet-like controller called the GamePad.
The controller allows two people playing the same game to have different experiences depending on whether they use the GamePad or a traditional Wii remote, which itself was revolutionary when it came out because of its motion-control features.
The original Wii has sold more units since its launch than both its rivals, but it has lost momentum in recent years as the novelty of its motion controller faded. Nintendo said it sold 3.1 million Wii Us by the end of 2012. It was a disappointing start for the first of a new generation of gaming systems.
In some ways, notably its ability to display high-definition games, the Wii U was just catching up to the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, the preferred consoles to play popular games like Call of Duty.
The PS4 is arriving amid declines in video game hardware, software and accessory sales. Research firm NPD Group said game sales fell 22 percent to US$13.3 billion in 2012.
With the launch of the PS4, Sony is looking to attract audiences who may have shifted their attention to games on Facebook, tablet computers and mobile phones.
All three console makers are trying to position their devices as entertainment hubs that can deliver movies, music and social networking as they try to stay relevant in the age of smartphones and tablets.
The PlayStation online network will have access to Sony's video and music services, as well as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, with paid subscriptions to those services. People will also be able to access Facebook.
Beyond games, the PlayStation 4 will let people create animation in 3D using a Move motion controller - all in real time.

If that's ^(1/3)x, then you have no problem:
(e^0+0)^(0) = (1+0)^0 = 1^0 = 1
Now, if it's ^(1/(3x)) then you have
1^∞, so we have to get creative.
How about:
e^2x = 1 + 1/1(2x) + 1/2(2x)^2 + ...
= 1+2x as x->0 because the higher powers become insignificant.
lim (1+3x)^1/(3x) = lim (1+u)^1/u = e
Can't think of something more rigorous at the moment.
I'm not quiet sure how e^2x equals what you put,
lim (1+3x)^1/(3x) = lim (1+u)^1/u = e
doesn't seem to make sense either..
Maybe a more dumbed down version? And it is in fact ^1/(3x)
the Taylor series for e^u = 1 + 1/1! u + 1/2! u^2 + 1/3! u^3 + ...
the definition of e is lim(u->0) (1+u)^1/u
Hm... Never learned this before, so I'm not quite sure if I can use this.
However, I appreciate the effort!
How about this:
lim(x->0) u^v = lim(x->0) e^(v ln u)
here we have
u = e^2x + x
v = 1/(3x)
lim e^(ln(e^2x+x)/3x)
= e^ [lim(ln(e^2x+x)/3x)]
now use l'Hospital's Rule to see that
lim ln(e^2x+x)/3x = (2e^2x+1)/(e^2x+x) / 3
= (2+1)/(0+1) / 3
= 3/3 = 1
and our limit is now
e^(1) = e
WOW! Thank you so much! You rock!

Car traders and private sellers are not normally the ones who lose out when trading a used car. Usually, it's the buyer that gets the raw deal: risks include the car not being up to scratch, or the seller taking the money and running without handing over the keys.
Lately, however, there's been a growing trend for private sellers to be stung for cash.
The schemes generally work by targeting internet-based car adverts. The process is that the seller receives a text message or an email offering to buy their vehicle for close to the advertised price. Nothing unusual there, you might be thinking? Indeed, in today's depressed car market, something to be welcomed?
However, the seller is then pushed into unwittingly giving out their details by paying a booking fee, before being told they'll receive the full amount in cash on collection of the vehicle.
In reality, once the seller's details are logged, the supposed company buying their vehicle disappears into thin air. This leaves the seller with one used car and a bank account up to £100 down. It doesn't sound much, but over hundreds of vehicles the balance adds up.
Some scammers are particularly unscrupulous. RAC is aware of at least one organisation using our old logo to add gravitas to their potential offer and create the impression of a reputable company.
We are thus taking action. After receiving complaints from an unfortunate group of motorists preyed on by a set of unscrupulous individuals, we've reported the scam to the Trading Standards e-crime team. Together, our two organisations – along with other affected businesses – will stamp this out.
The basic warning is clear: if you're selling second-hand online, you need to be careful – don't give out any details over the phone or online.
RAC lawyer Scott Morrison says: "People looking to sell their vehicles should be very careful, if they are approached by any organisation asking for any sort of online payment upfront ahead of a cash payment on collection."
RAC is urging anyone affected by unlawful dealings to contact the Citizens' Advice Helpline on 0845 4040 506.
