The summer is coming to an end. What did you think of the resort this year?
We had two new things, with Toy Story Midway Mania and the Pixar Parade both at the DCA. I thought that both were good, but at the same time the parks seems to lack something and I can't put my finger on it.
So go ahead and rate the summer and post your comments.

Walton Family Foundation Invests $157 million
in K-12 Education Reform in 2010
in K-12 Education Reform in 2010
The foundation invested more than $157 million in education reform initiatives in 2010 – a $23 million increase over 2009, in which education reform grants totaled $134 million. Grants were made to organizations and programs that empower parents, particularly in low-income communities, to choose among quality, publicly funded schools for their children. The foundation invests to expand the right of all parents to have access to quality schools, regardless of type, with the goal of ultimately increasing student achievement.
- View the full news release or see the full list of 2010 K-12 Education Reform grantees.
"When all parents have the ability to choose quality schools for their children, a competitive dynamic emerges that can inspire the broader school system to improve, helping transform public education in our nation." – Jim Blew, K-12 Education Reform Focus Area, Walton Family Foundation
Investment Strategy
The foundation's K-12 Education Reform strategy has three key initiatives:
- Shaping Public Policy
- Creating Quality Schools
- Improving Existing Schools
All three initiatives are designed to work together and support one another. Shaping public policy serves to accelerate the creation of new good schools. Students and families in the new schools then help shape public policy. And, similarly, the foundation learns from the practices in these new, quality schools and can apply those findings to existing schools.
About the Walton Family Foundation and K-12 Education Reform
Driven by the urgent need to dramatically raise student achievement, particularly in low-income neighborhoods, the Walton Family Foundation has invested more than $1 billion to date in initiatives that expand parental choice and equal opportunity in education. Empowering parents to choose quality schools, regardless of type - traditional public, private or public charter school - will help spur the bold transformation of our national K-12 system of public education. Our nation's children will only reach their potential in today's global economy by having access to a high-quality, publicly funded education.

Aridisols (or desert soils) are a soil order in USA soil taxonomy. Aridisols (from the Latin aridus, for "dry") form in an arid or semi-arid climate. Aridisols dominate the deserts and xeric shrublands, which occupy about one third of the Earth's land surface. Aridisols have a very low concentration of organic matter, reflecting the paucity of vegetative production on these dry soils. Water deficiency is the major defining characteristic of Aridisols. Also required is sufficient age to exhibit sub-soil weathering and development. Limited leaching in Aridisols often results in one or more subsurface soil horizons in which suspended or dissolved minerals have been deposited: silicate clays, sodium, calcium carbonate, gypsum or soluble salts. These subsoil horizons can also be cemented by carbonates, gypsum or silica. Accumulation of salts on the surface can result in salinization.

(Page 3 of 3)
In a recent study, investigators suspected that cells were in an energy-deficient state and were not using glucose efficiently as the culture progressed. Glucose levels in the media were marginally informative of this suspicion. One goal of the study was to discover markers that are more robust and descriptive than glucose.
Figure 3 shows the results of heat mapping generated through metabolomic analysis and the relevant changes discovered. Each cell of the heat map represents a single measurement of either cells or media and is colored to represent the fold change from the initial time (red areas reflect an increase over time; green areas depict a decrease). The expanded center section of the heat map shows critical changes, demonstrating that the sorbitol pathway of glucose utilization changed during the run.
Sorbitol can be induced in times of osmotic stress; at high levels, it can induce apoptosis in some cell types. Sorbitol, however, is generally thought to be produced in the presence of elevated glucose levels. Sorbitol may be a marker of reduced glucose utilization by glycolytic pathways. In contrast to glucose measurement in the experimental media, the sorbitol signal is more pronounced with time.
Thus, whether a marker of reduced glucose utilization by glycolysis or an indicator of osmotic changes, this metabolomic analysis demonstrated that sorbitol can be used as a robust marker of cellular changes. Sorbitol could possibly also be used in conjunction with glucose and lactate—as a measure of glucose utilization efficiency. Clearly, measuring only standard markers would not have provided a conclusive view of what was actually occurring in the experiment.
Historically, bioprocessing and cell culture development have been difficult because of limited knowledge about the components of an experimental system. These systems involve hundreds of metabolites that constantly change during growth and in response to feeding and other environment modifications.
Traditionally, monitoring of these processes has involved a handful of metabolites. In some cases, these metabolites give insight into metabolic changes. More often than not, however, other metabolites are more closely tied to the phenotypical changes of interest (cell viability, protein expression levels, product quality). Using metabolomics, the metabolic underpinnings of cellular changes can be rapidly pinpointed, directing scientists to key areas for optimization.
Policy proposals to address the growing global problem of fake medicines include a global agreement, similar to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, and stricter national laws to prosecute those who knowingly sell counterfeit medicines. Do you think these steps will be successful?

Innovative tools and teaching practices often fail to be adopted by educators in the field, despite evidence of their effectiveness. Naïve models of educational change assume this lack of adoption arises from failure to properly disseminate promising work, but evidence suggests that dissemination via publication is simply not effective. Instead of studying the adoption or rejection of a particular intervention, this paper turns the problem around. We asked educators to describe changes they had made to their teaching practice and analyzed the resulting stories to learn more about: the kinds of changes being made, their motivations for changing their practice, and the means by which they learned of pedagogical innovations. Of the 99 change stories analyzed, only three demonstrate an active search for new practices or materials on the part of teachers, and published materials were consulted in just eight of the stories. Most of the changes occurred locally, without input from outside sources, or involved only personal interaction with other educators. These results have important implications for educational developers, or researchers wishing to propagate information about new teaching materials or techniques

About Teaching Textbooks
Designed for Homeschoolers
A number of years ago we did the unthinkable and took a poke at a sacred cow when we said that we didn't like the conventional big-name homeschool math programs. Though some families were steadfast in their defense, there has since been an increasing number of families who have come to realize that math programs originally designed to be used in government schools are wholly inadequate to meet the needs of home educators.
You Don't Have to Be a Math Teacher!
What is wrong with adapting a school-based text for home use? There are a couple of significant issues with doing that. First, because a typical school text assumes a knowledgeable math teacher, the explanations are often meager and brief. If you double as a math teacher, this will present no problem to you. However, many parents either did not take upper level math as a teen, or if they did, the process is just a distant, unpleasant memory. So sparse explanations in typical texts can be frustrating to both child and parent. Second, government schools' math texts often contain excessive use of terminology, making simple ideas seem complex.
Designed for Independent Learners
The Teaching Textbooks series is produced with home educators in mind, so it tackles those issues head-on. Firstly, since the program is designed specifically for independent learners, it offers far more explanation than any others on the market, and the tone is friendly and conversational. What ultimately sold me on this program are their computer CDs with down-to-earth, step-by-step multimedia solutions for every problem in the book, plus complete step-by-step solutions for every test problem.
Friendly Conversational Tone
The lectures - one for each lesson in the textbook - provide hours of instruction. Students will appreciate listening to (and watching) an explanation for each lesson rather than reading it out of a book. Designed for homeschoolers studying independently, Teaching Textbooks uses far less irrelevant jargon than other textbooks, while still retaining all the terms that students need to know for those important standardized tests, and the tone is friendly and conversational. This is a brilliant idea, long overdue and skillfully done.
Workbook Includes Lesson Summaries
The Teaching Textbooks program also incorporates a workbook in which your child will do daily math assignments. Designed specifically for independent learners, the Teaching Textbooks workbook contains a summary of the lectures from the CD, which allows your child to review key points from the lesson as necessary while working the problems. The workbook also comes with an answer key and a test bank.
Review Method
The Teaching Textbooks series has been field-tested with outstanding results. Like other quality math programs, Teaching Textbooks uses the review method because it is a proven method for ensuring children are able to master difficult subjects such as algebra and geometry. Students using Teaching Textbooks are fully prepared for College Board examinations and college courses. Enjoyable, efficient, and effective, what more could you want from a math program?
How do I know if my child is ready for Geometry?
If a student has completed Algebra 1, he/she is ready for Geometry. Although you may want to read our discussion below about whether it might make sense to take Algebra 2 next.
Is it best to take Geometry or Algebra 2 after Algebra 1?
A. Well, opinions on this differ. One risk of taking Geometry in between the two algebras is that the student might forget a lot of the Algebra 1 he learned during the year he spends on geometry. Also, if a student has done well with Algebra 1, why break the positive momentum?
On the other hand, since the PSAT has geometry on it, students who take Algebra 1 in the 9th grade may want to take Geometry in the 10th if they plan to take the PSAT in the 11th grade. You should know, however, that the purpose of the PSAT is to provide a warm-up to the SAT and to identify potential National Merit Finalists. Since there are other ways to prepare for the SAT (such as checking out a library book that contains several practice SATs), and since very few students ever become National Merit Finalists (about 2 or 3 in each large high school), the argument for taking Geometry before Algebra 2 is not overwhelming.

Learn the difference between essential baby supplies and other items you can leave off of your shopping list.
Feel free to nix these baby supplies items from your shopping list and just stick with the bazillion other things you're planning to get.
1. Lots and lots of precious baby outfits Yes, miniature rompers are the height of cuteness, but here's the truth: Your newborn will likely be living in a tightly wrapped blanket 24/7 for at least the first few weeks of her life. What is worth buying: A cute cap and blanket for bringing your tot home from the hospital.
2. Beautiful crib sheets/quilts/bumpers More important: Having a whole bunch of backup sheets for incidents involving pee, spit-up, and other surprises. As for bumpers and quilts, keep those out of your baby's crib until she's at least 12 months old. The reason: They can cause suffocation or contribute to SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). 3. A bottle warmer Placing a prepared bottle in a cup of hot water for a few minutes works just as well.
4. Lots of teeny bottles Skip those smaller 4-ounce bottles, which your baby will only use for a few months, and just partially fill full-size ones for the time being.
5. A baby wipes warmer Some moms love 'em, but you can easily get by without a baby wipes warmer. Truth is, most babies are fine with room-temperature wipes, especially if that's what you use from the very beginning. Besides, you can always warm a wipe up in your hands for a few seconds before using.
6. That expensive stroller Since many strollers are designed for when baby can sit upright comfortably (around three months), you can easily go without one for a while. Instead, start with a lightweight stroller frame that's designed to fit your car seat. Simply snap the car seat to the stroller frame, and off you go. The baby stays bundled and comfy, and you can spend a few more months researching strollers. Win-win.

Study of potential mechanisms of traumatic rupture of the aorta using insitu experiments. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 17311167 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Traumatic rupture of the aorta (TRA) is an important transportation-related injury. This study investigated TRA mechanisms using in situ human cadaver experiments. Four quasi-static tests and one dynamic test were performed. The quasi-static experiments were conducted by perturbing the mediastinal structures of the cadavers. The mechanisms investigated included anterior, superior, and lateral displacement of the heart and aortic arch. The resulting injuries ranged from partial tears to complete transections. All injuries occurred within the peri-isthmic region. Intimal tears were associated with the primary injuries. The average failure load and stretch were 148 N and 30 percent for the quasi-static tests. This study illustrates that TRA can result from appropriate application of nominal levels of longitudinal load and tension. The results demonstrate that intraluminal pressure and whole-body acceleration are not required for TRA to occur. The results suggest that the role of the ligamentum arteriosum is likely limited, and that TRA can occur in the absence of pulmonary artery injury. Tethering of the descending thoracic aorta by the parietal pleura is a principal aspect of this injury. |

War to Go, Please
Peaceful past aside, India wants in on America's international war against terrorism, starting with the country next door
By Marisa Handler
DELHI, INDIA--India, as Indians are quick to attest, is a historically peaceful nation. It has never initiated a war, but only responded to aggression--as in its three wars with Pakistan, in 1948, 1965 and 1971, and the proxy war waged by Islamic militants in Kashmir since the mid-'90s.
However, the impact of Sept. 11 in America, combined with India's belief that Pakistan is harboring Islamist militants, has shifted the national perspective when it comes to Pakistan to a combative course. "It is time for India to take action," says Govinda Arora, owner of a bookstore in Jaipur. "Right is right. We have put up with too much."
India has been amassing troops and weapons along the border with Pakistan since Dec. 13, following a suicide-squad attack on the Indian Parliament in Delhi. Half of its army of 1 million is currently deployed there, and nuclear-capable, short-range ballistic missiles have been moved within close proximity.
After five months of heavily armed tension, few observers are surprised that artillery exchanges finally erupted, resulting in casualties on both sides of the conflict.
"I'm worried," Secretary of State Colin Powell said in an interview, noting that he had been in touch with Pakistan's Gen. Pervez Musharraf. "We should be worried."
In a speech given earlier this year, on Jan. 11, India's army chief, Gen. S. Padmanabhan, declared that India would not initiate a nuclear conflict. If, however, India was attacked with a nuclear weapon, "the perpetrator of that particular outrage shall be punished so severely that their continuation thereafter in any form of fray will be doubtful." Both India and Pakistan wield hefty nuclear arsenals.
When it comes to Kashmir, there is very little diversity of opinion in India, a nation of more than a billion: Kashmiri militants are trained and funded by Pakistan's ISI (the equivalent of the CIA) in a stubbornly aggressive attempt to annex Kashmir to Pakistan. Despite its Muslim majority, Kashmir belongs to India, Indians believe, as was resolved by the famously indecisive Kashmiri king following Partition in 1947.
Within India, resentment against Muslim fundamentalist terrorism--which takes its daily toll of military lives along the Line of Control that divides Kashmir--is frequently expressed as outright hatred for its ascribed collective perpetrators. "Pakistan is a bastard country," says Mukesh Purhota, a marble artisan living in Jaipur. "I hated the Taliban, and I hate Pakistan."
For many Hindus here, there is not much difference between the Taliban and the Pakistani government. Both are perceived as regimes of fundamentalist Muslim warmongers. And because Pakistan is a Muslim country--and the historical division between India and Pakistan is a religious one--the enduring conflict manifests itself within India as religious tension.
The rift between Hindus and Muslims here is a profound one. It has exploded as recently, and as acutely, as the religious riots in Bombay--far and away India's most metropolitan and Western-influenced city--in 1995. A series of urban bombings was presumed to be the work of Islamic fundamentalists; directly after the bombings, enraged gangs of Hindus wreaked vengeance upon the city's Muslim neighborhoods, killing and looting while police purportedly turned a blind eye.
Tension Points
India is the largest democracy in the world; it has made notable progress in many social arenas, ranging from caste discrimination to female infanticide. Yet Hindu-Muslim tension prevails, amply fueled by the ongoing bloodshed in Kashmir.
"Muslims are uneducated and fanatic," says Manoj Shah, owner of a handicraft shop in Jaipur. "Now they all think bin Laden is God." The sentiment behind Shah's words is not unusual. Hindus here frequently equate the zealotry of the fundamentalist minority to the entire Muslim world. However, it is often the Muslims in India who provide the voice of dissent, albeit largely ignored, when it comes to the current standoff with Pakistan.
"We don't believe in war in India," says H.F. Shaikh, a Muslim civil servant living in Ahmedabad. I am wandering past his home when he stops to introduce himself. He is quick to assure me that, in his neighborhood, "Hindus and Muslims live together jointly and happily." His Hindu neighbor, summoned to corroborate, smilingly concurs.
"We don't have proof that these attacks were ordered by Pakistan," Shaikh continues. "War is a last resort. The leaders should sit at a table and talk." Any Hindu would agree with the pacifism inherent in this statement. The Indian heritage, they maintain, is one of peace. Yet that sentiment is consistently followed by the contradictory statement that there is no other option but war. The singular difference between the two religious communities here is that Hindus generally feel India has reached its last resort.
"We want peace for India," says Ravi Kantsharma, a bookstore owner in Pushkar. "But look at America. One terrorist attack, and they go to war. We've had 30 years of terrorism, and we do nothing. I'm happy that Osama bombed America. It opened the world's eyes to terrorism."
The events of Sept. 11 have definitely brought terrorism onto the global stage, with lights and sound blazing. Moreover, the American response--war in Afghanistan--has provided righteous justification for an overtly aggressive response to terrorism. It has given superpower sanction to the concept of one nation attacking another nation on the basis of violence perpetrated by a tiny minority of the latter's (presumed) citizens.
Both the act of Sept. 11 and the retaliation around it have inspired others to take similarly extreme actions: the continuing war in Afghanistan; Israel's war in Palestine. If America went to war, reason Indian citizens, why can't we?
There is growing resentment here over the partiality of a "global war against terror," particularly given the imputed hypocrisy of American appeals for restraint on the part of India.
"The American government is controlling the whole world," says Shah bitterly. "It's not fair. They have a war against terror, but they are being selfish. Why can't we solve our problem? Why does India need American permission?"
Yet Shah respects the U.S. government for taking action. "Bush is a good leader. ... If Bush hadn't attacked Afghanistan, the American people would be angry. It is the same here, and that is why I don't like Vajpayee--he doesn't do anything."
Prime Minister Atal Vajpayee's increasingly hawkish rhetoric (along with sustained military preparations) is a calculated response to alarmingly low popularity ratings over recent months of "doing nothing."
Still, there are Indians who ascribe less blatant motives to the American attacks on Afghanistan. "It's not just a war to end terrorism," says Thomas Kutty Andrews, an accountant living in Bombay. "America entered Afghanistan because it wanted to liberalize Afghanistan, and this was dictated by the business mind. America wanted a market there. Now they will be able to penetrate to the Afghan market."
U.S. market penetration is an issue in which Indians are well versed: corporate America's global reach has not left this nation unscathed.
"Before, you only found Coke in big cities here," says Shah. "Now, you find it on any street in every village."
Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Hollywood--all have found a young and vast market here, hungering for the accouterments of Western modernity. These desirable toys and tidbits are touted in sophisticated commercials that impressively synthesize an understanding of contemporary Indian bourgeois culture with the incontestable virtues of the world's sexiest jeans.
A Different Jingle
India is a nation with an ancient history; it is a country where, for the vast majority, daily life is governed by the rituals of puja, or devotion. Culture runs deep here, and for the older generations and the poor, religious tradition takes easy priority over the daily grind and its compensatory trinkets.
But for the young and moneyed, it's a different jingle. "I tell my children not to drink Coke but instead to drink Thumbs Up [an Indian soda]," says Shah. "But they don't listen. It's all about Coke and jeans now. This culture is going backwards. In 50 years, India will be very different."
Priya Ahluwalia is a writer/director living in Bombay. She is young, hip and well paid, but she, too, makes an active effort to patronize Indian companies. "America is too strong, too busy trying to imprint its opinion," Ahluwalia maintains. "It's not our lifestyle, yet the boundaries between the cultures are disappearing. America is moving in--like you see in horror movies, [with] tentacles spreading out."
Pop Politics
The clash between the heritage of this nation and contemporary political realities follows in the footsteps of its passion for American pop culture. The concepts of dharma and karma have been overshadowed by the hawkish example provided by the most successful nation in the world.
While media attention moves to the recent fronts of wars taking place in Palestine and elsewhere, relations between India and Pakistan remain volatile and liable to explode at any time. The eyes of both nations remain firmly fixed on the actions of a superpower shouldering a global war against terror.
U.S. pop culture sells America to the rest of the world; it sells modernity, coolness, power in a package. When I confess to curious natives that I'm an American, the general response is one of awe and delight: America is the modern-day land of milk and honey. Young Indians love America, because all they see of it is beautiful people, catchy music and shiny gadgets; they love it with an adoration akin to idolatry, like a teenager at a rock concert.
It is American pop culture that has given iconoclasm to the rest of the world, shrink-wrapped and ready to go; rebellion against it is antiquated. For those craving the pot of gold at the end of America's rainbow, there simply isn't any groundwork for a critique of the political actions of the world's superpower.
Within his first few months in office, Bush dropped the Kyoto Protocol, abandoned the ABM and initiated Star Wars. Following Sept. 11, he claimed that those nations who weren't with the United States stood against it. And its allies jumped to agree. Economics cannot be separated from this equation, but there is no doubt that American pop culture has paved the way for its current political actions--and for those countries that look to it for an example.

Ok. Quickly figured out my gear problem. It wasn't collapsing, it was cycling!
Last night I had mounted the wing before packing the van and have everything ready to go in the morning. I did multiple visual checks to make sure all my servo extensions were tucked away in the channels on each side of the fan housing. Before loading up, I taxied it around in the street in front of the house. Our street is not real smooth so it's a bit of a bouncy taxi test. When I got home from the field today to debug the problem I powered up the rx with my rx pack but could not get the problem retract to collapse. Then I hooked up the lipo that powers the fan and eased into the throttle. As soon as the fan started to rotate the retract started cycling up and down. Hmmmm. I looked through the intake and could see one of the servo extentions hanging in front of the fan. I unplugged the lipo and left the rx powered on. Took off the wing and could get the retract to cycle just by wiggling the wires. Turns out the fan ate half the plastic extension connector leaving all three wires bare. My guess is taxing around our not so smooth street caused the extension to work it's way out and into the front of the fan. Good news is it's an easy fix. Not so good news. This is what my rotor looks like now. The damage doesn't look to bad but I'm not so sure I want to run the fan up again without replacing the rotor. |
Too bad about the fan blades but consider it lucky to happen on the ground. Perhaps you can just buy the blades at Xflight to repair your fan.
Retracts have given us our share of grief but now we have found the large servoless type to be very reliable. Not any issues with about 100 flights combined with the F100 & F-18. With the CG at 280 you will notice easier takeoff rotation and slower stall and approach speeds. Cheers |

Ordered new blades earlier this evening. You're right, I'm glad it happened on the ground and that it was the retract lead and not the aileron. Might not have noticed that until in the air and that would not have been pretty!

Hope to fly mine this week, or early next, its been pretty windy here lately.
This will my second flight, but first with the CS 12 blade.(burnt out a cheap turnigy typhoon heli motor on a Hayo 7 blade, on the maiden). I just spent hours balancing the fan dynamically( at 10,000 rpm) and it is smooth as silk, I hope it hangs in there and sounds Cool in the air !(as it doesnt sound much different to the Haeyo during static test on the ground). Anyway, I am glad this thread has sparked back to life Keep em coming fellas. Steve |

Mine has been on hold whilst I have been testing CS12 setups in "semi happy, semi disgust" on the results. But now I am pretty well satisfied. Going to go for the 4074-1400 on 7S or 8S.
But now the pain of getting batteries to do that job just for that specific plane. And I want two sets at least.... if not three. And that also means making a CHOICE and then that is it - which an 8S set of batteries is a bit more flexible for the future than 7S. Or if I weaken, I will run that on 6S first, just to get it going before sooking over that need to spend more money on the batteries for it! lol. So... it is time to get back to completing it..... |

Believe it or not it's harder to get the 7 blade balanced than the 12 blade IMHO... Working with the 127mm 7 blade fan is a pain But they're inexpensive and a reinforced motor mount does great |

Thanks. I ordered them last night. I like that you can get all the individual parts instead of having to order the whole fan unit. X-flight even sells individual blades for $2 each.

If the cone has run out it could make balancing the hole thing a pain, more balanced motor shaft = less run out on the cone IMHE |
Thanks for the info. I tend to use HET, NEU and Hacker motors and fortunately those motors are well balanced before leaving the shops. But I do have a no name inexpensive outrunner that's in my F-86 currently running a Jetfan90 fan. I suspect that motor is slightly out of balance as the JF90 rotor is extremely well balanced and no amount of turning the rotor on the shaft improved the resonance at 1/4 throttle.
By run out on the adapter - the easy way to "see" that is any perceptible wobble motion of the spinner tip when running, right? I know if that's the case the adapter is probably unusable? Are the 5mm Xflight purple adapter sets any better than the silver ones that initially came with the CS90? I plan to get a HET 700-60 specifically for that plane this week to address the resonance and also optimize my setup. The F-86 I'm flying is a good in flight test bed for the fan I'll be putting into my F-100 very soon. |

I use the HET 600-32 on 5S with a HET fan and Hyperion ESC.
Smooth, reliable, great flight. I was flying the F-100 last saturday at the club, and a felow who was looking the plane said to me: Great plane, beautiful flight. I response that it wasn't realy fast plane. And he said back: It has so beautiful flight that has no need for more speed. I had to agree with him. |

Area construction is up 10 percent through the third quarter
Led by the continued recovery in residential building, overall Kansas City area construction activity improved through the third quarter compared with last year and reached $2.2 billion, according to a new report.
McGraw Hill Construction, a national trade journal, reported that commercial and nonresidential construction continued to lag behind last year, but total construction was up 10 percent through September thanks to the strong performance in housing.
There was $1.2 billion in residential work, up 39 percent from the first nine months of last year, and $950.7 million in commercial and nonresidential activity, down 14 percent.
For the month of September, there was $159.4 million in residential construction, up 12 percent from September 2012, and $136.4 million in commercial work. The $295.8 million September total, however, was down 7 percent from the same month a year ago.
McGraw Hill defines residential construction as single-family and multifamily projects. Nonresidential includes office, retail, hotels, warehouses, manufacturing, health care, government and other projects.

Sounds like you're up to loads Lea. Looking forward to seeing Sydney pics! Xxxx
Lots of plans!
Trip Start
Aug 08, 2011
Trip End
Jul 22, 2013
We have however, invested in a tent (I say invested but it in fact cost us $29 from kmart...) So we decided to test it out on an overnight trip to yamba a small beach town 2 hours drive from here. Yamba was nice enough but a bit quiet and not quite as pretty as Byron so we probably wouldn't go back. It was though, fun to camp, and we're hoping to do more of it soon. Got to get our moneys worth out of our tent afer all...!
Wyn has a car as of today which is a big relief to him. We've been looking for ages but cars are so expensive here. He was beginning to up his price range to >$3000 when he stumbled across an absolute bargain. He found a backpacker who was leaving in a few days and had dropped the price of his car to just $1100 for a quick sell. It's a bit of an old banger but drives well and has been well looked after. And most importantly, it can hold his surf board on the roof which will mean he gets to do a lot more surfing! Also means he can get out of Byron when I am working and truly enjoy the ozzie outdoorsy life!
Whilst it has been a quiet month or so, the next 2 months will be anything but quiet as we have a lot of travel and visitor plans! Very excited! So the next few months will look like this
- christmas day - about 12 of us having a roast and a pool party at some of my colleagues 'party house'
- new years eve will be spent on Goat Island in Sydney Harbour watching the firework display and catching up with my Sydney friends.
- 1st-3rd Jan, Wyn and I are spending in the Blue Mountains near Sydney (hopefully using our tent!)
- Late january, my friends Rachel and Sarah are arriving, spending a few days in Byron and then the 3 of us are off to the Whitsunday islands for a few days sailing, followed by 3 day 4WD tour of beautiful Fraser island. Wyns decided to give this one a miss as he reckons he would get cabin fever on the boat!
- End January, its Sydney salsa congress.
- I get back from sydney as wyn leaves for sydney! he's going to spend a few days with his sister Alaw in Sydney before she comes to Byron for 2 weeks! Unfortunately I might actually have to do some work at this stage!!! Wyns also planning an overnight trip to Brisbane to see his favourite band Incubus play.
- Late february, were hoping to spend 10 days seeing melbourne and Tasmania.
So lots and lots going on for both of us! We were planning to see New Zealand but the rota got a bit messed up and Im not doing my ICU rotation until april. Shame as its week on week off which would have allowed all the above plus a 3 week NZ trip using only a weeks leave! (and April is NZ winter time!) So NZ is on hold until next year (probably december time) and Tasmania is on the adgenda instead! So can't complain!!!! It helps to have a lot on the go at the moment as we have both felt a tad homesick over the christmas period. Christmas is just not the same without family and a bit of snow! I'm still contemplating a trip home next summer...
Well thats all for now. I'll be blogging over Christmas and new year - hopefully have a few pictures of Sydney fireworks for you!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all! XX
Ps the photos are from the Byron lighthouse walk. No Yamba photos as i forgot to take my memory card!

Re: Noise from dockline passing thru Hawse Pipe
Dude you're not alone. I'm never tied to the dock, but it happens at anchor and mooring in any wind and it does make a lot of noise in the V-berth. It hasn't bothered me enough to take action - yet - but just last time I did think I would stick something else in there to make it stop. It is as bad or worse as halyards in a gale sometimes. Loud.
this noise would happen whether you were tied tightly or if you gave her her head a the dock. ANytime there is tension through the hawse hole it starts "squeaking".
Try the rubber. I also use that same chafe material you use on my 3 strand, possible that other highly rated chafe product or double braid might change it. Not sure what it is called, it was in the press within the last few years, black I think, less friction maybe.

Inspired by James' post yesterday, Ira and I met up with a buddy of mine (Greg) and fished a private lake we'd heard about, but never fished. I had not even wetted a line when Ira hooks into a nice big rainbow, and then he kept that pace all day. There are distinct age classes in this lake and it was planted again this month. I don't have a tape to measure fish in the pram I used today, but the big fish were 22 - 23 inches I think Ira said. I landed about half as many as Ira did, but I took fish on a dry fly, skating dry, indicator, trolled indicator, trolled dry, and on the strip. Hot fly for big fish was a big black bunny hair leach. I also did well with the Chubby Chernobyl and Ira's legged jig fly from a recent swap. I'll let Ira fill in the details, but here are a few fish photos.
Wow. Words cannot express my jealousy. Nice big fish, but wheres the pic of the smallest of the day, Ira????
I had access to a wonderful, private, flyfishing only facility. There were many 8 pound trout in the lake... similar to the photos shown above. I almost cried when the guy sold the lakes (there were three) and the new owner had no interest in fishing.... much less, flyfishing.
Now I see the interest in pay for play lakes. I am frugal to a fault, but catching big fish in a lake that has very few anglers is awesome and could be worth the $$ on occasion. To have that close to home and sold out from under you would be a heart breaker.
That was wicked fun today, I loved going into it with zero expectations and then simple being blown away. I landed 4 over 20" today and countless more in the 16-18" line class. There were enough of the fresh stockers to keep things fairly consistent. One of the coolest things though happened near the end when I was trolling my indicator rod and the fish were for whatever reason tremendously interested in the indicator. While it waked behind me the fish would hit it and then hit the fly below it. It was wild there for awhile. A truly great day.
Yep gotta love private lakes! first one I fished was in Idaho and I hooked my first fish and finally stopped his first run, well, til I looked at the bank and and realized I was being towed in my toon. talk about being spoiled! Nice fish and pics guys!
The beauty of private lakes is they normally hold very large trout. Over the years, I've fished three different private lake operations, I've never regretted a cent. I kind'a like catching steelhead size trout in lakes. The reason I turned to flyfishing lakes is because the trout grow larger in the lakes in Oregon than they do in the rivers. Private lakes certainly don't equate to easy catching... in fact, it is sometimes more difficult to catch trout in a private facility than a planted, public lake. After awhile, the trout wise up so you need to fish for them with every trick in your tactic book. I also like that part of the deal. The trout also loose as impressive as the devil in photos and you don't even need PhotoShop to help out!
Hey just for curiosity's sake, how big was that private lake(acreage and depth)? I'm planning on building a pond in the next few years and stocking it with trout. Gotta see if I can grow some 10 pounders! I had a small bass pond on my property when I was in high school... nothing more relaxing than coming home from a long day and winding down on your own private pond.
Awesome looking fish!!! The last time I fished private water was with the Unicoi Lodge guys in Hellen Georgia. Was some of the biggest rainbows I have ever caught on moving water. I cannot wait till the "WOW 3!!" gets posted..
I would estimate this lake to be 10 acres and the deepest part I saw was 14'. Sediment from the two creeks has slowly accumulated.
Contact Larry Hayes at Red Hills Lake. Tell him that I recommended you give him a shout. Larry owns the the lake and is a friend of mine for a number of decades (the majority of photos on his site where taken by me). He is a great guy and I'm sure can fill you in on what is required. His lake is four acres and 12 feet at the deepest spot. http://www.redhillslake.com/contact.html
Thanks Jeff and Gene. As I'm sure you guys know, building suitable trout habitat isn't as easy as digging a hole in the ground. I've seen that experiment fail a few times with other people, lol. I've slowly been doing my research so that when I'm ready to dig, I have it all laid out perfectly. Back to the main topic, those trout are hogs! Looks like an action-packed, fun filled day
I know someone who built a private lake and Larry gave him pointers along the way. Last I heard, the trout in the private lake are up to 5 pounds. You are correct. If you plan to stock it with trout, trout are picky and easily killed.... as Larry can tell you. Growing very large trout is a challenge.
Yeah based upon either my experiences watching others and things I have read, there is a certain temperature range and higher oxygen levels required to keep trout alive and happy. I have a pretty cool design laid out that I wonder is feasible. Thanks for the reference of your friend Larry, I'll be sure to give him a call when I'm getting closer to excavating. Sorry for hijacking the thread fellas, I'll make it up to y'all when I build my trout ponds here in the next few years

Answer Belita, The cover is held to the top of the dryer by two(2) "plastic" hinges W10044470 and W10044480 If they are missing, you will need to order them as well. The hinges "snap" into the openings in the dryer top panel nearest the control panel. If the hinges are there, you will need to remove the filter, then remove the two(2) screws holding the housing to the top panel, and raise the top of the dryer. You'll need a pair of needle nose pliers to press in on the "snaps and remove one of the hinges, install the cover on the hinges and press the hinge back into the opening until it "snaps" and locks in place.

Creating a Galaxy of Knowledge
It wasn't so long ago that, if you wanted to find something out, you walked to the library, fingered your way through a card catalog, wrote down a number, and then went to a shelf to find the book. Yet in the span of less than a generation, low-cost household computers and the Internet have forever changed the way that people seek information. The Libraries has adapted to this new world. In addition to our print collections, our staff members now employ more than 200 computers and other technological equipment in their daily work, and these must be replaced every three to four years. Far from being made obsolete, the skills of librarians have never been more important to helping users navigate this new world, while reminding them that the traditional print world still exists. Galaxy of Knowledge, the Smithsonian Libraries' public Web site, opens the treasures of the Smithsonian Libraries to all. Devoted to sharing our collections and interpreting them for the American public and the world, Galaxy of Knowledge presents beautiful, full-text digital editions of rare and valuable Smithsonian books along with expert reference service and guides to many of our specialized collections. No longer will it be necessary to visit our locations in person to see and use these materials. From the exploring fingers of kindergartners to senior citizens, a worldwide audience of book lovers, students, scientists, and bibliographers will find beautiful illustrations and texts organized in the areas of Science, American Discovery, Art and Design, and Technology and Industry. Each digital edition carries historical background material prepared by Libraries' staff and subject specialists that is valued by researchers, book connoisseurs, and teachers.
Of equal interest are the Libraries' online exhibitions, which are designed to showcase portions of the Libraries' collections in conjunction with museum artifacts that add meaning to the stories they tell. Both a complement to the Libraries' exhibition gallery in Washington, D.C., and a means of organizing far more exhibitions than are physically possible in the gallery alone, the Libraries can bring many of its riches to light on the Internet.
To help fill the Galaxy of Knowledge with stars from our collections and to deliver digital collections and exhibitions that meet the highest professional standards, partners in discovery can

Not to be a PITA, but I am trying to figure out how a single handing sailboat is supposed to tie off to a platform. Can you spell MOB? Also, even on Galveston Bay we have wind shifts of 180 deg, and that would mean you get to drift into the platform? Crew boats are there to support oilfield operations. Drilling and production operations happen 24/7, although there are some specific operations that are limited to daylight hours. The crew boats cost the oil co's a fortune, and you can bet when they get called into service in the middle of the night, anything tied to them is going to be set adrift.
I do a race from Galveston to Port Aransas - 150 miles down the coast, overnight - each year. The gulf is littered with operating platforms, mostly lit, but not all. Plus some very large gulf shrimpers pulling very long nets, that don't yield to anyone. If you get close, you can bet they will light up your sails with a monster spotlight - and there goes your night vision for the next couple of hours!
Hire a crew. Find someone who needs the ocean miles to keep his captain license valid. That is what most of the delivery captains do here as well. My cat come over from Ft Lauderdal to Galveston Bay last December, with a delivery captain and a crew needing the mileage, plus they made a stop in Tampa Bay to allow a front to pass through.
It's too darn easy to do something stupid like sail into a platform while you are asleep. Don't know what system you have on your boat that would RELIABLY warn you that was about to happen.

represent individuals with intakes greater than the EAR, who still do not meet their requirements (they are to the right of the intake = EAR line in the shaded area above the 45° line where intake equals requirement). Next, note the number of data points in triangle B which represent individuals with intakes below the EAR but whose intakes are adequate. The EAR cut-point method works when intakes and requirements are independent (see Figure 4-8) and the number of points in triangles A and B are virtually identical. In Figure 4-9 there are more points in triangle B than in triangle A. Accordingly, when usual intake and requirement are correlated, using the EAR cut-point method (i.e., determining the number of individuals to the left of the intake = EAR line) would overestimate the number of people with inadequate intakes (those in the shaded area above the 45° line where intake = requirement).
This example is illustrative, but does not indicate what the expected bias resulting from using the cut-point method might be. The bias of the cut-point method will be severe for energy because the correlation between usual energy intakes and requirements (expenditure) is high. How severe a bias is expected if the association between intakes and requirements is not as extreme? This question is difficult to answer because usual intakes and requirements cannot be observed for a sufficiently large sample of individuals. However, limited empirical evidence suggests that the expected bias is likely to be low as long as the correlation between intakes and requirements is moderate—no larger than 0.25 or 0.30 (Carriquiry, 1999). Furthermore, when the mean intake of a group and the EAR are approximately the same, the effect of the correlation on the bias of the cut-point method is likely to be very low even at correlations greater than 0.30. An exception to this rule is the extreme case in which the correlation between intakes and requirements of the nutrient is equal to 1. In this unlikely event, the prevalence estimates obtained from the EAR cut-point method will be severely biased, even if mean intake and the EAR are identical. This purely hypothetical case is used in an illustrative example in the next section.
Do the probability approach and the EAR cut-point method work for food energy? No, because empirical evidence indicates a strong correlation between energy intake and energy requirements. This correlation most likely reflects either the regulation of energy intake to meet needs or the adjustment of energy expenditures to be consistent with intakes (FAO/WHO/UNU, 1985). Because of this strong correlation, neither the EAR cut-point method nor the probability approach can be used to assess the probability of inadequacy of food energy intake. |

Captain Cool almost becomes Captain Crunch....
Last weekend - on the first day of a 10-day cruise - the wind was blowing a modest 12 knots or so. We were on a close reach on a starboard tack. We watched as a similar-sized boat ran close-hauled on a port tack headed towards us.
There was plenty of sea-room between us.
My wife suggested that we maneuver a bit to stay clear. "We are the stand-on vessel here." say I. "It's best if we maintain our course and speed so the guy knows what to expect from us."
The boats converged.
"That boat is getting a little close. Shouldn't we change our course?", suggested my wife in a slightly panicked tone.
"Don't worry about it." I condescended. "The guy is probably a racer and wants to cut tight behind our transom."
By the time I realized that the other skipper hadn't seen us, his boat was bearing down on my port side. I had left myself with a very slim chance of avoiding a nasty collision.
With about three boat-lengths to spare my wife and I let out loud shouts. A head poked around the edge of the on-coming jib.
Luckily we both headed up and and stopped our boats within about a boat-length of each other. If one of us had bore off the results would have been disastrous.
I shouted a few choice words at the other skipper, he hollered back a sincere apology and we were on our way.
After the pulses had settled I thought about the near-miss. It was brought about by sheer stupidity and arrogance on my part. Sure the guy should have been more aware of his surroundings, but I
fully aware. I had been watching his approach with tons of time to avoid the crash. Instead I adamantly stuck to my 'right of way' and almost created a situation that would have certainly done significant damage to both of our boats and, most likely, caused serious injury aboard both of the vessels.
It was definitely a wake up call!
To my wife's credit she never said, "I told you so." but in this case, as in many others, she is absolutely entitled to.
