NDA Convention session summarizes earthquake cleanup lessons learned in New Zealand.
Three demolition contractors who have been helping clean up following the 2011 earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand, will give their first-hand descriptions of how the demolition industry has responded to this disaster in a major metropolitan city. The multi-media presentation will take place at the National Demolition Association's Annual Convention in San Diego on March 25, 2013.
"The U.S. Geological Survey, the science organization of the U.S. government, has predicted with a 99 percent certainty that there will be a similar magnitude earthquake in California in the next 30 years," says Michael Taylor, executive director of the trade organization. "Our [panelists] have been working there for the last two years dealing with everything from downed utilities, lack of food, housing, and power, hazardous materials disposal and the safe demolition of damaged structures. They will give a compelling presentation at our convention."
The goal of the presentation, Taylor says, is to enable government disaster response agencies, seismic experts and Californians how the state can deal in a similar and productive way after such a disaster.
The 6.3 magnitude New Zealand earthquake caused damage across the city, especially in central Christchurch and its suburbs. Experts say the damage was made worse by buildings, roads and bridges that were already weakened by a 7.1 magnitude 2010 earthquake in the nearby Canterbury region.
The National Demolition Association Convention takes place at in San Diego and will run from March 23-26. The association says that the exhibit hall will feature the world's largest exposition of demolition equipment, products and services.
The keynote speaker on March 25 is former U.S. Navy Commander Mike Abrashoff, author of the book It's Your Ship: Management Techniques from the Best Damn Ship in the Navy. His talk is entitled "It's Your Ship: Achieving Breakthrough Performance." Following his talk, the association will present its Environmental Excellence Awards, recognizing public and private projects that show significant environmental conservation and community improvement.
Also on the convention schedule are educational sessions on civil and criminal liability and OSHA; maximizing scrap vendor profits; PCBs in caulk; and the City of San Diego's construction and demolition debris ordinance.
The opening night celebration will be held aboard the USS Midway, one of America's longest-serving aircraft carriers.

- Atmospheric Composition
Tropical waves and convection govern the distributions of clouds, water vapor, and other trace constituents in the tropical Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere (UTLS). This region is the source of air for the stratospheric ozone layer, so understanding these distributions has global implications for how atmospheric composition is changing. We propose a four-year program of research on waves and convection as they affect the tropical UTLS using observations from Space and NASA aircraft, and modeling. We will also maintain a meteorological support capability for NASA airborne field missions. Waves with large temperature perturbations form thin cirrus clouds in the tropical UTLS, which are a primary mechanism for dehydrating air as it rises into the tropical stratosphere. However, detailed microphysical cloud simulations show disagreements with CALIPSO cloud measurements, indicating an incomplete understanding of where and how tropical waves form UTLS clouds. We will use newly available temperature measurements from the HIgh Resolution Dynamics Limb Sounder (HIRDLS) and COSMIC Global Positioning System Radio Occultations (GPSRO), and measurements from NASA aircraft missions as inputs to detailed models. Comparison of model simulations with CALIPSO cloud and MLS water vapor measurements will yield an understanding of how waves affect the flux of water into the ozone layer. Convection quickly moves air from the surface into the tropical UTLS, with important effects on ozone, water vapor, and other constituents. Using back trajectory analysis, combined with meteorological satellite data, a newly available combined rainfall satellite product (TRMM, AMSU), and CALIPSO data, we will evaluate the age of air since convection and the location of the convection for air sampled by aircraft. This information is essential for synthesizing an understanding of atmospheric chemistry and physics from sparse aircraft observations. Our group has provided meteorological support for airborne field missions since 1987, including meteorological planning, mission support, and post-mission work. As part of the proposed work, we will provide meteorological guidance and context for aircraft missions addressing UTLS composition. This work uses satellite data (NASA Strategic Subgoal 3A) to address Atmospheric Composition Focus Area questions: (1) How is atmospheric composition changing?; and (2) How do atmospheric trace constituents respond to global environmental change? We address the NASA Science Question: What are the primary causes of change in the Earth System?; and the NASA Research Objective of understanding the predictive capability for changes in the ozone layer.

The OpenGL ES working group is pleased to announce the release of the OpenGL ES 1.1 Full Specification
The OpenGL ES working group is pleased to announce the release of the OpenGL ES 1.1 Full Specification. Previously, OpenGL ES 1.1 was defined by a "difference specification", which was an annotated list of differences between it and desktop OpenGL 1.5. To understand the API, programmers new to OpenGL had to read the 300+ page OpenGL 1.5 specification, cross-referencing against the difference specification to see which features were supported. The new document is entirely self-contained, so no cross-referencing is required. And, as it is only about half as long as the desktop specification, it is much easier for OpenGL beginners to read. The API itself is of course unchanged, and the working group will continue to maintain and publish the older difference specification for those who prefer it. Both versions of the specification are available at the Khronos OpenGL ES specification download page

Papervision3D (3D in Flash) blog post talks about the importance of COLLADA format parsing
"Recently, we've had the opportunity to play around with Papervision3D - a full blown open-source 3D engine for Flash. The simplicity and power of the engine are amazing (especially in AS3), but what really explains its recent popularity is the ability to parse COLLADA data. In other words, Papervision3D allows Flash Developers to work closely with 3D artists that could export low-poly models and environments directly from Max and Maya." Also see the Papervision 3D blog for more COLLADA details.

My thumb pulling the hammer back is no more difficult than my thumb bringing the safety down. It's just one of those things that doesn't make sense to me. Someone please tell me why it's better to be cocked and locked.

"The whole of the Bill (of Rights) is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals.... It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of." (Albert Gallatin of the New York Historical Society, October 7, 1789)
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." - George Washington
"More natural"...not to me. Maybe because I practice my draw by pulling the hammer back after I'm on target. I don't increase my speed by putting the safety down instead. They are both a single movement of the thumb. I've never seen anyone twist the gun because they're pulling the hammer back, and pulling it back with the support hand...well that's just silly.
I'm not trying to argue FOR the way I do it. I'm really looking for a SOLID reason why it's better (cocked and locked). So far it just seems like "well, that's just the way it's done."
For me, it's faster and more natural dropping the safety. If I work the hammer, I have to work at it a little. Just me though.
Oh dern....
Revelation 19:11
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
The 1911 was designed with multiple safeties , the grip safety which you ah not be engaging fully while cocking the gun, also if you slip when drawing the hammer back it can engage the half cock notch which adds another step to the process. If you draw the gun cocked and locked you engage the grip safety fully you remove the firearm from safe with your thumb and when you pull the trigger it drop all the way fully engaging the firing pin and firing a round. It was designed to be fired in this manner and firing it any other manner risks a delay in getting your first shot off. I have also been told that it was believed to be unsafe carried in the hammer down position as dropping it could possibly cause an accidental discharge. I have never seen this but all safeties are designed for cocked and locked carry.
Keep up with the trends, avoid the fads, take your time and do work you can be proud of always
"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin
To me, when you lower the hammer of a 1911 down on a loaded chamber, the risk of having it slip and detonate the round makes it a stupid and dangerous act.
And unless there is a firing pin block, the chance that the firearm gets dropped and lands on the hammer, there is also the possibility of discharge.
When the military carries the 1911, there is no mag, the hammer is down on an UNLOADED chamber. The handgun would get charged when there was a threat pending.
IMO, there is no reason to take a chance of a ND.

Former President of the ECPT (Eifel Combat Pistol Team)
the pistol is under more control when using the thumb safety vs. using the same thumb to cock the hammer back. especially if you have an extended beavertail grip safety. the pistol is supported way more and easier to sweep the thumb safety downwards, rather than trying to cock the hammer back with the same thumb. now if your argument goes the direction, of using the other hand also to cock the hammer back with it, yes it can be done and the pistol is much better supported and you will have increased control. now in the instance, an attack is way up close and personal, and you are using your left hand and arm to hold off someone while drawing your weapon. well now you are limited to being able to use only your right hand to draw the weapon and bring it into action. by trying to use the thumb on that right hand to cock the hammer, you lose some support of the pistol and could lose control of the pistol and possibly drop it. yes i believe the cocked and locked with the thumb safety is the better way than with the hammer down and cocking it when drawing it.

"Makes Me Think Twice About Eating Out"
If you want a reason to stop eating at chain restaurants, this is it! Well written, well read book about all the things restaurants do to make us eat more and come back. Whether you like it or not, it will change the way you view food.
"An Enjoyable Performance"
I've never read any of these books before so it was fun to read the original story. I was kind of hoping that Anne Hathaway was going to sing Over the Rainbow at the beginning but no such luck.
Anne did an amazing job reading the book. She brought additional life to the story.
Probably what I liked most was Dorothy as the heroine. She makes friends, forms solid friendships, and has genuine concern for those around her and that's how she accomplishes her goal. All in all, a delightful story very well read.
"Couldn't Put it Down"
Warning: this book swears A LOT. It's a fascinating story because it is all about mental illness. The characters are quirky but that makes it easier to sympathize with them. I think people who know and love people with mental illness will connect with this book. Did I mention it swears a lot? Well, it does.
"Must Read!"
Cliche title, I know. But it couldn't be more true. Everyone should read How You Measure Your Life by Clayton Christensen. A fascinating and unique approach to self-help. For extremely logical people, like me, I connected with it on so many levels! And learned something about business theory as well!
"I'm a Castle Fan but Didn't Love the Book"
Although I am a Castle fan the book was just okay to me. It felt too similar to the show (I guess that's what I should have expected.) But save your money and just purchase another episode of Castle.

I reached above him to light a candle, and then I got up and started seductively taking off my clothes. I hadn't even gotten my bra off when Will started screaming, and I realized that I'd set his long, shaggy hair on fire. I freaked out and threw my comforter over his head, but it was too late -- the entire back of his hair was completely singed off." -Hanna, 23

"worth it"
Sasha on 11/21/2014 6:05:35 AM
Review: incredibly delicious (and I appreciate that you are trying to limit unsustainable packaging)
"fantastic product and service"
Karis Fahrer on 11/19/2014 3:07:20 AM
Review: This is the second time I have ordered vital choice salmon. The shipping is very efficient and the fish came frozen solid after shipping for several days. The shipping is quick and can easily be tracked on line to know when to expect package. The product is exceptional and my mind is at ease knowing I'm eating something healthy rather than wondering what the grocery store products are. I eat my salmon twice a week and share it with my little shah tzu who goes crazy when I bake it!
Sue Samer on 11/14/2014 7:57:22 PM
Review: We have been loyal customers for so many years. After our lst bite of salmon and taste of your blueberries we were sold. I'm so glad also that you have a recyclable box now. Thank you
"Sockeye Salmon, boneless, skinless"
Cathy Korycinski on 11/14/2014 1:10:53 PM
Review: This is absolutely the best salmon we have ever had. Its so fresh, so easy to grab a couple out of the freezer and thaw in minutes in cold water. It never smells like fish - even baking in oven, there is no fishy smell.
Harry on 11/13/2014 6:15:59 AM
Review: Fresh and tasty.
"Fabulous Tasting"
Barb Spigner on 11/12/2014 3:54:22 AM
Review: Fabulous Salmon great tasting, perfect sized portions. I brine it (yes you can brine fish) and most of the time grill it. We probably have it twice a week for dinner.
"The Best Sockeye Salmon Ever!"
Carolyn H Williams on 11/2/2014 4:33:17 AM

An Integrated Multidimensional Controller of Auditory Perspective in a Multichannel Sound Field
A system for control and synthesis of auditory perspective in a multichannel soundfield is described in this paper. The system employs a soundfield synthesis engine comprised of several acoustic simulation devices working in parallel that are all controlled by one intuitive, programmable controller. The controller allows smooth, efficient, and dynamic modification of the spatial attributes of a multichannel soundfield.

Why did I write this library?
- prototype is a long word
- People are used to classes from other languages
- Although CoffeeScript's Class implementation is nice, if you have 10 files that use OOP the __extends function is defined 10 times
- I don't like the functionality provided by most of the similar OOP libraries or I consider them bloated

I sure do love these precious, goofy kiddos of mine! After taking a few photos of the four of them, Ezra and Eliana wanted to take some with me in the picture. We miss our Daddy (only days until we move, yay!), and can't wait to see him, but I sure am thankful for these little sweethearts of mine!

Emmalee Grace - 3 months
I know, I know, I am always saying this, but time has flown right by again! How is my precious baby already three months old?! Emmalee is doing great. She weighs in around 14 lbs, and has outgrown most of her 0-3/3m clothes. She has become quite vocal - "talking" to us, making dinosaur-type squawking noises, and she LOVES blowing bubbles with her lips. Emma is a fantastic sleeper, and I am so thankful for that! She sleeps 10-11 hours at night, takes one longer nap in the afternoon, and a few catnaps in the morning. She nurses every 2-3 hours during the day, and if she's not eating or sleeping, she probably has her hands in her mouth. She is still quite laid-back, and easy going, for the most part. We love our sweet Emmalee Grace!

Our weekend (or, Alison visits).
My parents were out of town over the weekend, so when my cousin Alison (who the kids call Auntie Alison) asked when she could visit, this weekend seemed like a great time! She came down on Friday and stayed through Sunday, and we are so glad she made the trek!
The kids were so excited going to bed on Friday night, knowing they would see her when they woke up on Saturday morning! We went the to Zoo on Saturday morning, and had a blast seeing all the animals. There is a baby elephant there, and she is just adorable! She seems so tiny, but just weighed in at 400+ lbs! Crazy! We went out for Sonoran hot dogs after the Zoo, and then headed home for naps. Spent some time outside before dinner, and then once the kids were in bed, Alison and I had a fun night eating treats, painting nails, chatting, and catching up on shows. We headed to the park Sunday morning, to burn some energy off, and then Alison hit the road to head home.
I am so thankful for the conversation, extra hands, and help that Alison provided! We are so glad she came down to spend the weekend with us!

The little things this week.
A few little things that made me smile this week:
Afternoon popcorn snack, complete with watchful brown beast, and guarding arms!
Happy, smiley morning burrito babe.
Taking the car to the carwash. Easy entertainment.
Emma chatting it up with her favorite friend...the ceiling fan!
He brought his coffee cup and pot to the table for breakfast. Also, this is his "cheese" face.
Morning walks with a sweet girl, wearing a bonnet that belonged to me as a babe.

A day in our AZ life.
I wanted to record a glimpse into what a day in our life has looked like over the last few months, as we've been living at my parents house, in the AZ desert.
My day sort of starts between 4-6am, when Emma gets up for her first feeding of the day. She fusses a bit, I nurse her in bed, then change her, and lay her back in her crib. She goes back to sleep until 8am-ish. I get up before the kids, usually by 645am, to get dressed and ready for the day. I let George out, feed him breakfast, and heat up water for a cup of tea.
The older 3 kids are waking up around 715am. They get dressed, and I start breakfast preparations. If Eliana has preschool that morning, we need to be out the door by 830am, so I have been keep them on track. Otherwise, we eat a slower breakfast. Most days it's oatmeal, or eggs and toast. Sometimes we get a little crazy and do pancakes, or fried potatoes and eggs. Emma is usually up by 830am, and nurses again. If it's a preschool morning, we are out the door, to drop off Eliana. If it's not, we try to get out for a walk with George.
Today, we walked to the park, took the "adventure trail" home, and then played in the backyard for awhile. This time of the day is also the time we might do errands, if we have any to run, or head to the library or the Zoo. Emma nurses again around 1130am. Eliana is done with school at noon on preschool days, so lunch typically happens around 1230p. The kids request cheese crisps or sandwiches most days, which is easy and doable!
After lunch, all the kids lay down for a nap. Eliana doesn't sleep most days, but I still have her "rest" for at least an hour. She often sneaks out of her room before Evie is awake, and asks to sit in Bibi's office, to do crafts or projects quietly. Emma has started taking a longer nap during this time as well, which is awesome. I have some time to myself, to recharge, and to get some work done.
I make another cup of tea, check email, and get miscellaneous stuff done. I am doing some work for a High School leadership organization, so I often get that done at this time of the day. Some days, this is when I have Skype dates with girlfriends. I am so thankful for Skype, and the way it's allowed me to stay connected with dear friends all over the world!
The kids start waking up around 3p. Emma nurses again. We might play outside or watch a short show, play with toys or read library books. Some days I make dinner, and some days my mom works on it. Emma is usually hanging out in her rocker chair, "chatting" with her hanging animals. Everybody is home from work around 530p, and we sit down to eat together. Sometimes Emma wants to nurse at this time too. The girl could eat all day, I think!
Bath night happens every other night after dinner, and most nights the kids beg to have a dance party! They love to jump around, spin in circles, and just be crazy dancers. It's a great way to burn up some leftover energy, before bed. Emma is usually ready to nurse one last time around 730p, and then she goes to sleep for the night. She sleeps 9-10 hours, before waking in the early morning to eat again. The other kids get in bed by 730p. Evie loves having her Babu "rocka" her, and sing songs. Ezra asks me to lay with him and we recount our favorite part of the day together. Eliana is usually getting up to use the potty 3.5 times before settling into bed, ha!
Everything is typically settled and calm by 8p. I try to pick up around the house, so toys aren't everywhere. If I have laundry, this is prime folding time. George tends to be wherever the action is, following me around. Some nights, I have a little more work to do. If not, I might read a book, or putz online for awhile before bed. I try to sleep between 9-10p, so I can get up to do it all over again the next day!
My days are full of diaper changes, baby girl feedings, reading books, walks with George, making meals, cleaning up said meals, picking up toys, and teaching kids how to behave themselves. It's busy, and chaotic, and at times, overwhelming. And many days definitely do not go as anticipated or planned, which can be hard for the organizer in me!
But these days are also oh so very good. Sometimes I feel so immersed in all these little people things, and it's hard to see the end of the day, or to figure out who I am in the midst of it all. But then I remember how fast the last few years have flown by. And I know that these times won't last forever. In fact, they'll probably go by faster than I realize! I don't want to miss the little moments, the small wonders around me.
The days are quite full, but then again, so is my heart.

That was the incident that prompted my mother's rule: "No Christmas songs until after Thanksgiving or after New Years' Day."
Yes, I was (and still am) the child that sang her favorite songs year-round, even if they were about snow and sleigh rides and Santa Claus. And while I completely understand wanting to curb an annoying six-year-old's incessant jingling, this year I'm changing my tune.
In other countries, there is no Thanksgiving holiday at the very end of November. They don't have this rule of waiting to celebrate one holiday before another. According to my friend from London, the Christmas season began weeks ago. There is no need to separate one holiday about being thankful from one about expressing gratitude through gifts. It is, after all, the holiday season. Not the Thanksgiving month, the Christmas weeks. I repeat: holiday season.
As a believer in the miracle of Jesus that I celebrate at Christmas, I find myself less and less convinced that I need to contain my joy to just a few weeks. How can there be too much celebration of the coming of the Savior? How can there be a limit to my gratitude? My excitement? My hope? I say there cannot.
Speaking of gratitude, what better reason to "give thanks" than the arrival of a Savior? By opening up the season, you allow for the Christmas Spirit (think: "Holy") to move within more hearts, gently reminding and drawing people to what is coming. And though I generally avoid using cheesy Lifetime movie titles, it really is the ultimate gift, the paramount reason to be grateful.
Just imagine if we were "allowed" to mention the Hope of the world before Thanksgiving.
How much richer would that dinner conversation be?
How much bigger would your Thankful Tree be?
How much more content would you be with a satisfied belly and a satisfied soul?
How much greater would that prayer be?
Now, I understand the desire to keep in check the commercialization of what I believe to be a very special and sacred time of year. There is an incredibly fine line between displaying Christmas spirit and displaying Christmas spirit to make profit off holiday inflation. I'm not suggesting you go out on Thanksgiving to do all your shopping because of the sales.
What I am saying is that there should be nothing wrong or surprising about picking out gifts to give your loved ones in October. In fact, I believe it shows thoughtfulness for the recipient and pragmatism with the resources you have been given. It also allows the proper reverence the Christmas season deserves.
How can you await the Christ if you're waiting in lines?
How can you see the evidence of his coming (and indeed his presence) if all you're looking at are price tags?
How can you hear the whisper of the Advent if the sounds of a busy mall is flooding your ears?
By not limiting Christmas to three weeks, you open up your time to give all the attention to the reason we as Christians claim to be celebrating in the first place.
How can you limit the hope that comes with anticipation?
How can you delay the love that comes with the arrival of the King?
How can you delay the love that comes with the arrival of the King?
How can you restrict the joy that comes with knowing all will soon be right?
How can you control the peace that comes with knowing it already is because He has already come?
It's no secret that Christmas music is one of my favorite parts of the season. All the beautiful hymns beckoning baby Jesus; extolling his birth; celebrating a new dawn, a new hope; they all move my heart towards love and joy. Not just lead it, but flood it. I can hardly listen to the sweet words of a Christmas hymn without getting teary-eyed or becoming overwhelmed with the urge to dance.
Christmas is coming; there is no denying this. Why deny anyone the privilege of rejoicing?
"chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother
and in His name, all oppression shall cease.
sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
with all our hearts we praise His holy name."
with all our hearts we praise His holy name."
In gratitude, praise His name.
And, for goodness sake, turn on your Christmas music.

Paper waste used to make "green" bricks
Paper waste has already been used to create things like foam and batteries – now, a team of researchers from Spain's University of Jaen are making bricks out of the stuff. Although the finished products still need a little tweaking before they're ready for prime time, they could ultimately give traditional bricks a run for their money. Read More
Machine uses artificial intelligence to sort dead batteries
While it's definitely important to keep the heavy metals in discarded batteries out of the environment, the sorting of all of the different types of batteries that arrive at a recycling depot could no doubt get extremely tedious. It's the type of job that often goes to a machine. Well, such a machine has been invented. Called the Optisort, it can recognize about 2,000 types of batteries, and is currently being used to sort one third of those recycled in the UK. Read More
Onions and garlic could be used to capture heavy metals
They may taste great on a pizza, but could onions and garlic be used to help clean up hazardous heavy metals? Research conducted at GGS Indraprastha University in Delhi, India, suggests this is indeed the case. Read More
Your old pop cans could end up in your new ReCycle
Some readers may recall our recent article on the Rizoma bicycle. Along with its carbon fiber build and almost US$5,000 price tag, one of its more striking features is the lack of a seat tube – the part of the frame that runs from the seatpost down to the bottom bracket. Well, if you want to save quite a few bucks, you may soon be able to get that same sort of frame made from recycled aluminum, on the decidedly quirky ReCycle line of city bikes. Read More
Lawn clippings used to make eco-friendlier fireplace logs
Every year, untold tons of lawn clippings end up in landfills – or at best, in compost heaps. US Department of Agriculture chemist Syed H. Imam, however, has come up with what could be a better use for them. He's been making them into fireplace logs, that have some big advantages over conventional artificial logs. Read More
Human-powered device "unknits" old clothes to reclaim yarn
Just last week, we told you about the Rocking-Knit chair, a student-designed device that utilizes the user's rocking motion to knit a hat. After lots of use, needless to say, such a hat would eventually get worn out. Instead of just throwing it away, however, you could recycle it – using another student-designed contraption, the unknitting machine. Read More
It's reckoned that most of the 22 million tons of rubber that is processed every year worldwide goes into making vehicle tires and that once rubber products reach the end of their useful lives, for the most part they end up being incinerated. Even when the rubber residues are reclaimed and re-used to make new products, the lack of techniques for producing high-quality materials means that the recyclables are relegated to secondary products such as arena or playground floor coverings or padded doormats. Looking for new ways to optimize the recycling of rubber waste, researchers have developed a material called EPMT that has the desired material properties and characteristics for use in the manufacture of high quality products such as wheel and splashguard covers, handles, knobs and steerable casters. Read More
As our smartphones and computers continue to become obsolete and get discarded, the environmental problem of electronic waste gets worse. Needless to say, the greater the number of electronic components that can be reclaimed and reused, the better. That's why scientists from the UK's National Physical Laboratory (NPL) have developed a printed circuit board that falls apart when immersed in hot water. Read More
Lightning used to recycle concrete rubble
There are many subjects more interesting than concrete. But the substance is key to structures all over the world. Present concrete recycling methods yield degraded – and inefficient – results. A group of German researchers have taken it upon themselves to dramatically improve on those methods, and the secret to their approach is truly electric. Read More
Abus Ecolution folding bike lock is compact and recyclable
The new Abus Bordo 6000 Ecolution is a folding bike lock with an environmental twist. At the end of the lock's usable life, it can be broken down and fully recycled. The lock makes the already eco-friendly activity of cycling that much friendlier. Read More

By JC L'Angelle
(c) 2014--All Rights Reserved
Dec 28th, (1989) Thursday: 630 PM PST-- Train Station; Reno, NV--waiting for eastbound to New
York City. Weather outside; cloudy, breezy, cool. Town full of gamblers. Betty Ann,
artist, dropped C:Opr off for ticket to Chicago plus round-trip return from Penn. Sta.,
Saw Angel at Board of Trade, "New York's a rough town,
California Zephyr"--all these West Coast implants have an opinion about a place they've
hardly been. Not surprised. All they want is a warm place to flake out, some dumb squeeze
who'll kowtow and a few sycophants.
Announcement: "726 PM, #6 train arrival. Train will leave in one hour."
Betty Ann is the only one who encouraged trip--all the deadbeats want to do is die in
"What do I do with this ticket, Angel? Give it away?" Saigon was a rough town too.
Called Sacramento, talked to the Greek's girl, got his phone # in Chicago. Told her to
relay the message, "Pavlov is coming."
Carry nothing but a blank, hard-covered logbook & guitar; that should get heavy a few days
after lugging it around the city. Train station not too crowded, a couple families and a
few foreigners, nowhere a trumpeted sendoff. Last time this trip was made, to Denver, was
just before joining the USMC in 1965.
725PM--where does the inspiration come from sitting around in a cow town waiting for a
train to the big city? Reading NY Times makes traveler want to cash in ticket and stay
home. People are on the move, this is it. Impatient idiots jump the gun--what's the hurry?
We'll be sitting in the damn thing for days.
730PM--on board #6 facing east. Crying baby a few seats up but sound is muffled quite
well. Incredible amount of leg room. Luxury travel compared to bus. Alot of room, club and
dining cars just to rear--will check them out when train in motion.
California Zephyr-seat #16, aisle. Sparks stop-15 min. to service train. Movie will start
in lounge car immediately following stop. Why the hell would anyone want to see a movie on
a train? Even if its dark, it must be a riot to look out the window at nothing.
Black porter walks past. "Last call for dinner in the dining car-dining room will be
closed in 20 minutes." AQuiet otherwise.
So long Reno! Look back at downtown Saprks-move slow past tank farm, kid will whine
forever up front.
Enroute; crybaby wants his babydoll, noises.
1.) postcards; 2.) get sleeper into NYC-if nec. better than bus $150.
Dark: displacement of Pavlov C:Opr by nearly 3000 mileson globe, roughly same lat.
Late Night: Lounge car, empty except for one passed out drunk and a couple chatting
watching the last rerun of "Field of Dreams" otherwise the car is empty. Lights of
Winnemucca fade into background following brief stop. Train is making remarkable time,
could sit here all night and write. An oasis of light outside the window in the pitch
black night hangs in view for what seems like a decade before dropping, like others
before, behind.
Dec 29th, Friday: 640AM MST; Salt Lake--not quite sunrise, cold (30 degrees); some clouds,
smoggy. Can't see much of the city from the train station, an old two story brick building
with big arch windows facing the city. tried to get a Chicago to New York connection with
no luck. Black conductress won't let travelers back on train train #6, the Cal Zephyr, for
45 minutes. All there is for food; a little junkwagon the "Creasy Catering Inc.", don't
they mean "Greasy?"
Hardly the big time place heard on TV, radio, in books--Salt Lake is surprisingly small. A
few skyscrapers in the distance beyond the station, but the Amtrak station itself is small
with no restaurant, or at least it was closed. Sometimes expectations end up being just
that, expectations.
Back on #6, a small line has formed in lounge near back by dining car, early birds, as
train starts to move east again. Big white light Christmas tree atop downtown bldg. Left
in the dust of great Salt Lake. A whole lot of beat up buildings make up outskirts.
7M Breakfast: Scrambled eggs, toast, coffee, sausage; daybreak, hazy, sit near kitchen,
mark own check. Coffee good and hot. Waitress in official Amtrak blue. Still on the
eastern outskirts. Breakfast delivered with bacon instead of sausage. $4.75, a bargain.
Back to lounge car, cloudy, hazy outside. Interstate traffic parallels train on n. side of
Provo--before the outskirts of Salt Lake have disappeared, the Zephyr brakes to a halt at
this cowtown. Dirt, rocks, bombed out building, looks like Reno. #6 halts in front of
"Norton Fruit Company", scrawled on the concrete roadblock, "Dean Moriarty?" further down
as train rolls
"Where are you?"
Sharpen conductress' pencil for her. Travellers are so easily entertained by the few deer
along the tracks. A couple complain about delays they've encountered; the hazards of
flying and the impossibility of winter driving. Well stay home and die then!
No birds. Appears to be a break in cloud layer on other side of this endless climb to
nameless summit. Expect to see angels and God soon. Alot of shrubs, other than pine trees,
snow, a row of telephone poles, total lack of birds.
Solar disk peeks out from clouds for first time. Doesn't Bob Redford ride his horse around
up here in the stix? Railbox marks "summit." A couple of shacks that ought to have outlaws
holing up in them. Same movie is playing out windows on other side of coach. Fences in
dire need of repair through this God-forsaken stretch, certainly no lack of wilderness to

Joined on Oct 30, 2007
johnsmith404: 'high-end leather purse' made my day. What are you gonna review next time? High end high heels?
Are they camera accessories? No? Okay then.
Just a Photographer: This is a very feminine bag.
I can't imagine using this bag being a man unless your being a sissy.
Also this bag is very vulnerable to being stolen as you can't keep it on you while taking photos.
As a man, you COULD use this man, but only if you cross-dress.
It's a woman's bag, Milhouse.
Michael J Davis: Frankly that looks worth stealing for the bag alone, regardless of any expensive gear inside! I prefer the worn and battered look.
Then wear it, use it, and eventually, it'll look worn and battered.
happypoppeye: That's no man-purse, that's a full out no questions about it women's purse.
I can't believe there's any confusion about this.
Look at those straps.
Zoron: Yummy but it's Samsung.....a bit brandcist here
I actually LOVED the Samsung mirrorless line before. Well, on paper at least. When Fujifilm just entered the market with the X100, which I pre-ordered, Samsung was offering well-priced cameras with a fair selection of prime lenses of decent (read: small) size. Sony NEX offered tiny cameras with terribly large lenses. Bleh.
Image quality? Not sure, but on paper, it all looked good. Shame about the JPEG quality reported in reviews and sample photos. ;)
Image quality is important, and if Samsung doesn't nail that, then who cares what sensor they're using?
Mike FL: Then and Now:
Then - FUJI overstated some of camera's ISO at least reported by Dpreview.
Now - FUJI says: "We're not playing for numbers anymore.".
I still have no idea what you just said.
xrokx: Fuji should make a special limited run of fixed lens (about 35 mm) FF cameras. It doesnt matter if they are a little on the big side. It could be a collectors item; it wouldnt hurt their sales of aps-c if they price it high enough. Half the price of a LEICA maybe . As long as it is fast and sharp.
Why should it be limited edition?
That makes no sense.....unless you're a collector.
jorg14: Great camera that serves a niche market.
I have the OG X100, and I think your description is apt.
It's not the flagship, but it's the sharpest knife in a drawer filled with Swiss-Army knives.
I love having it, and yes, I know it's a luxury. Having said that, people buy a DSLR or MILC because it's the most practical, and then buy the X100S (or not, X100T) if they have money to spare. I did it the other way around. I bought the X100 first, and waiting 1.5 years before buying the X-Pro 1.
If you shoot predominantly with a 35 mm prime anyway, it seems far more sensible to buy the X100T first, even if it's less flexible.
But that's just me. Most people do go for something like the X-E2 first.
VENTURE-STAR: I don't doubt this is a superb camera and I wouldn't mind owning one. However, the price tag puts the instrument way out of my reach and carrying it around and using it in public places would be a liability from the point of theft and accidental damage.
The question is - would it actually improve my photography and the answer has to be no.
I've been saying the same thing about Ferraris for years.
WilliamJ: Funnily, I've just bought a new laptop today. And guess what ? It's that new machine's diametric opposite. How one can reasonably do serious photo processing on such a little screen (12" !). How about the heat after some hours of work (can one work with it more than 30mn before getting an eye ache anyway) ? Is that computer cooled by super-compact liquid nitrogen cells ? 8GB of RAM at best ? Humm, ok for little files like a bunch of standard jpeg, but I'm not sure it can be enough for a large group of big Tiff to be displayed and worked on. And I even don't speak about the keyboard that seems not so effective for a "super" fast typing. I feel that Microsoft desperately have been trying for some times now to drag us from serious computers to "light and fun" machines. What a weird trend !
Do you understand that the SP3 isn't a desktop?
You want a massive screen? Don't buy this product. It's such a simple and obvious solution, and yet you just had to get your word in anyway....
Bhima78: Awesome system. Glad they decided to go with a bigger screen which is way better for drawing/photoshop work. Only thing stopping me from the pre-order is no Intel Broadwell... it's still using Haswell it seems :(
Microsoft can't release a Broadwell-equipped Surface Pro unless it is available. ;)
Broadwell will hopefully be released by New Years, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the ULV models will be available at the same time. Or they may ship a bit later. Who knows?
Greg Gebhardt: But will it run my Windows software? I tried their latest and greatest and it installed quickbooks just fine but when I tried to open my 250gb company file, it brought the Surface Pro 2 to it's knees.
I would very much like to replace my notebook with this but will it do what I need?
That.....sounds like completely BS.
Menneisyys: Gorgeous device fixing the prolly biggest problem with the previous two Surfaces: the 16:9 aspect ratio. 3:2 aspect ratio is just gorgeous and instantly renders previously, because of their 16:10 aspect ratio, enticing alternatives like the just-introduced ThinkPad 10 (see http://connect.dpreview.com/post/6895019353/lenovo-introduces-10-inch-thinkpad-windows-8-pro-tablet ).
Too bad RAM and storage configurations are tied together. I'd prefer a 128GB + 8GB storage / RAM config as I don't need 256GB of (very expensive) storage. TOo bad only 4GB RAM can be had in 128GB SSD devices.
(And, of course, the late August European availability is also a bit of letdown... as usual.)
You know this uses N-trig, right? Not Wacom. Just FYI....
It shouldn't be a big deal though. N-trig has improved a lot, and Microsoft has been working with Adobe closely with regards to Adobe software, and perhaps their stylus and digital ruler technology that Adobe had previously worked on for iPads (and wasn't released).
Also, there's a drop in pressure sensitivity (1024 down to 256), but those numbers are more for marketing.
There are downsides to going with N-trig, but there are certainly benefits!
michael2011: LOL at Mactards showing up here to dish this unique product. Threads like this show why they are called bad names. (No offense to other Mac users who don't suffer from the same fanboyism)
I can't wait to buy one!
You're getting worked up over nothing, like you just got personally offended.
Why so butthurt?
jon404: My cameras use SD cards, not MicroSD cards. The Surface Pro 3 only has a MicroSD port. How does this help a photographer?
That's the one thing I don't like about it. :O MicroSD on such a device isn't THAT useful, unless you're only using that slot to expand storage or something. Then again, it's not a phone. It comes with decent-sized drives (except the base model).
Everything else about it seems great.
shaocaholica: Look at the size of the T mount. It could easily accommodate a FF sensor.
Perhaps they plan on introducing a FF version in the future?
Nobody said "this is it". Leica will release other cameras.
imsilly: Great!
All Leica needs to do now is throw this in the bin and do it again with a FF sensor, an M mount and focus peaking.
Unlike you, I actually really like the Leica T.
However, I do wish Leica started with a FF model. I suppose they realize that as photography becomes more and more easily accessible, and cheaply (i.e. via mobile phone), even Leica needs to compete on price, even if on the very high end. ;)
Kassra: how much does a block of aluminum this size cost? few bucks? maybe 10? extra weight around the neck and shoulder. no effect on longevity or performance.
a marketing gimmick which is a decade behind trends.
i'd be more interested in an innovative, plastic body.
Sure, and my wood desk is just wood.
That is....until someone actually does something with it.
I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't go all out and design a FF camera from the start.
This will definitely compete with the significant majority of the current mirrorless market, but Leica was never into competing with that market.
I guess this camera makes more financial sense to them? They're trying to stay relevant in a photography market where people are relying more and more on mobile phone cameras.
Well Microsoft can't use the name Nokia anyway. Nokia still exists as a company. The only name they can use is "Lumia".
Microsoft can also label a product with the "Nokia" name if they release a "dumb phone". However, they won't do that, so in reality, they can't use the name Nokia anyway.

Discussion in 'Star Wars TV' started by G-FETT, Jul 1, 2007.
I had to do some traveling to see alternate perspectives.
I just found out this exists.
Sexy. Almost makes me want it over an iPhone.
I am both enamored by the Galaxy Camera's beauity and shaking my head at the pointlessness of a point and shoot camera that runs freaking android and has a 4G connection.
I'm perfectly happy with my non-Android/4G Canon 50D.
That's pretty cool, but I like the camera on my iPhone 4S, even if it doesn't zoom. I've got a Nikon D80 that I use if I want fancier photography.
I tend to think point in shoots are one of those things that are obsolete given how good camera on smartphones have gotten. The camera on the Nokia Lumia 920 for example is unreal. It has better low light performance than I've ever seen in a small camera.
I agree. I'd take my 4S camera over most point and shoots any day, and it's not even the best of the cell cameras. SLRs are too bulky for everyday photos. (I rarely use mine anymore) If someone could stuff a camera that rivals a good SLR into a pocket-sized point and shoot, then I'd consider purchasing one.
Isn't that what all these compact switchable lense cameras are trying to do? =b
Trying, yes.
lol, I was seriously looking at the Pentax Q series.
So I've been up for 17 and a half hours. ****ing finals.
I'm sorry to hear that, bro. I don't envy you folks at all.
No, silly! A barfing Nyan cat is done like this!
*catches mug*
Eh, it'll be over in exactly one week. So, .
I saw someone dressed as Nyan cat for NYCC this year. No barfing though....
I'm a procrastinator. I finished and submitted my final English paper 5 minutes before the cut off time.
^Hah... so long as you got it done I guess.
I hate it when the air conditioner makes sounds like a transformer blowing up. Its scary. x.x;
I finished it on a jet. Luckily Delta has WiFi...
Speaking of transformer explosions, I saw a squirrel give it's life for a spectacular fireworks display the other day. It decided to make a nest on top of a large transformer, as you can imagine, it didn't end well. Have I ever mentioned I have ADHD?? Oh look, a squirrel.... I'll go back to my corner now.
Cool story, bro. Poor squirrel...
I should probably get the air conditioner checked...
My wife did a bunch of research and got a Pentax, I think K series? DSLR.
Really great camera. Best thing about Pentax is that their lenses are all standard sizes, so old & new all work on your new camera - so you can find some used old ones that won't set you back as much.
But yeah, my iPhone 4 camera is perfect for most point-and-shoot stuff.
On the issue of history, yeah it was funny going into university and realizing what you were taught in high school was a bunch of garbage.
"Archduke Ferdinand was killed and Germany started WWI!!" Lol.
I honestly didn't have that misleading of a history education in public school as I've heard many others have. They were pretty explicit and even graphic when it came to European-Americans' treatment of Native Americans and slaves. I remember being in 9th grade getting quite perturbed at what they were telling me...
I never once watched that show.
In hindsight after seeing that, I think I might regret it now.
You. Have. Never. Watched. This. Show?!
How is that even possible? You're a 90's kid. Who...who are you?!
Quickly, it's never to late to redeem yourself. Watch all 90's WB Cartoons now! (Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Freakazoid!, Pinky & The Brain, Batman: The Animated Series, etc.) It's not even a chore, I'm doing you a forcible favour. Amirite, everyone who lived in the 90's? We only want what's best for you, B_C!
The level of adult humor in that show was staggering, and so skillfully subtle it flew miles above the heads of the kids watching it.

Yakko: (suggestively) "Wait till we're alone..."
I'm so thankful I wasn't drinking anything when I first heard that.

Pls help me floodproof our building lobby
Our building was badly hit by Hurricane Irene. Our town is 4-5 feet below sea level.
Our wall to wall carpeted lobby, which had padding and plywood subfloor underneath, stood submerged for over 24 hours. We've thrown the carpet out and plywood is now warped.
My neighbor drilled a small hole in the plywood and it seems there is ground/dirt about 2-3 feet below (there are 2 steps leading into the building lobby). It is wet, but water is no longer stagnant after a week.
As condo owners, we know little about floors so I need some help from experts.
Will replacing the plywood subfloor, then cementboard, then ditra, then porcelain tile make this waterproof in case there is water logging for 24 hours? We are also planning on cutting out wet drywall (about 6") and replacing with cementboard (vertically). Should we put some sort of liner or vapor barrier at the seams? Would water ever rise up from below and is there a solution for that? The space is over 600 sqft so there is room to build a pitch.
Finally, do we need an engineer to inspect or suggest any drains etc. Or will a licensed general contractor do?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Unfortunately there is no way to "floodproof" wood building construction that I know of. Unless you can seal off every possible entry point of water from the exterior, "water will always find a way".
First of all, on top of the plywood, you only need cement board OR Ditra. They are both underlayments. If you use Ditra (I much prefer it, as it's way easier and faster to lay), and tape the seams, it will waterproof the floor.
That's waterproofing from someone spilling on the floor, not from a flood that rises from below or an overwhelming flow of water that sweeps in from the outside. Waterproofing in bathrooms is done to keep water from getting into the walls from the inside the room. A flood does the opposite. I'm afraid floorman's right: you can't flood proof a building unless you build a dike around it.
You need to have licensed and insured contractors doing any work on your building. No homeowner DIY allowed on multi-family dwellings. You don't have the insurance to cover yourself if anything you do is wrong, and neither does your building.
You can't control flooding. If it's gonna happen...it's just gonna happen. You might consider having one or two linear drains installed, with an adequate slope to one or both, at least the water wouldn't just sit there for days.
