I lost all my possessions," Melanie Norbert von der Groeben Hibbs said. On May 1, 2009, the control panel of Hibbs' dishwasher short-circuited and her kitchen caught fire. Even though the fire was limited to the kitchen, smoke seeped through every room and smoke damage ruined most of her possessions. Eight months later, the house is still undergoing repairs. Hibbs wasn't home at the time, but a neighbor saw the smoke and called the Palo Alto Fire Department. "By the time I got home, the fire department was there," she said. "When they let me go in, the house was still radiating heat. Everything was covered in a thick layer of acrid smoke." Eight home fires were reported in Palo Alto last year. Although residential fires are down as a whole, many of the fires could have been prevented, according to Palo Alto Fire Marshal Gordon Simpkinson. These fires have been caused by appliances, gas lines and electrical shorts. Faulty appliances are a regular cause of home fires, he said, noting that Hibbs' dishwasher was subject to recall. He recommends being aware of major recalls. "The Consumer Product Safety Commission website (cpsc.gov) is a pretty good resource. It's a central repository for appliance recalls," Simpkinson said. He suggests taking an inventory of appliances and checking if any have recalls in effect. "Take a look at the major appliances in your house: your microwave oven, your regular oven, your washer dryer, your dishwasher." Although residential fires are down as a whole, many of the fires could have been prevented, he said.

A Midtown house explosion in September was caused by a gas leak. Older houses such as the Midtown Eichler are especially vulnerable to gas leaks because the pipes are buried underground and leaks are difficult to detect. "In new construction, the gas line starts above ground and stays above ground," Simpkinson said. Gas lines are maintained by Palo Alto Utilities on the street, but it is up to residents to check lines on their properties. "The electric company has no control of the homeowner's side," he said. If there is a suspected gas leak, Palo Alto Utilities has a free troubleshooting line at 650329-2161. Menlo Park Fire Marshall Geoffrey Aus said that electrical fires are also common in older homes. "Houses built 20, 30 years ago were wired for appliances they had then," he said, noting that it's a case of "new demand on an old system," with computers and large TVs causing new strain. According to Aus, this makes surges more common and causes breakers to malfunction. Surge protectors are an easy fix. Spreading out where large power drains are plugged in is also important. With winter taking hold, fireplaces are seeing much more use. The chore of cleaning them out is important, but can be dangerous if done wrong. "People clean out their fireplaces and that's a good thing," Aus said. He warned that ash can still burn if disposed of improperly. "It's once a year that we'd get a home fire because of that," he said. Ash should be put in a metal pail and doused in water, Aus said, and paper bags and wooden boxes should be avoided. Candles and trees are common during the holidays. Both can be fire risks. "The most important thing is to watch trees and don't keep them near heaters." Aus said. Menlo Park Fire Protection recommends keeping candles away from anything flammable and using a sturdy candle holder with a low center of gravity. The number-one cause of home fires and fire injuries is cooking accidents, Simpkinson said. He noted that the National Fire Protection Association recommends watching the stove when cooking, and checking the grill and oven regularly. "These days, people just seem to have a lot on their mind and become distracted," Simpkinson said. "Most fire fatalities are due to smoking though," Simpkinson said. "The risk goes up dramatically if someone smokes inside the home." He said that if someone smokes in bed, the risk is even higher. Fires caused by cigarettes are especially dangerous because they are usually smoldering fires. The carbon monoxide that comes from a smoldering fire can be a silent killer. Another way carbon monoxide can get into a house is through a malfunctioning water heater or furnace. "If the smoke alarm doesn't wake you up, there's a good chance you'll suffocate," Simpkinson said. This is why Simkinson strongly recommends buying a combination smoke and carbon-monoxide alarm. "Smoke alarms are not intended to last more than 10 years. Check them and replace them," he said. Although the official recommendation is to sound-check smoke alarms once a week to see whether the battery is dead or not, a simple check of the flashing indicator light usually works as well. Simpkinson still suggests making an audio check every month or so. Norbert von der Groeben Another common cause of home fires is cooking grease, shown here as part of the annual Holiday Fire Safety demonstration by Menlo Park Fire Protection District firefighter Randy Kelly in 2007. In terms of placement, Simpkinson said one He said that refreshing children on the basmoke alarm should be in a common area such sics, staying low to avoid smoke and checking as a kitchen or living room, one in an area out- to see if doorknobs are hot, is an important side the bedrooms and one on any additional way to keep everyone safe, so the first time floor, including a basement. they have to put everything into practice isn't "In the last several years, we've been recom- a real incident. mending that one be placed in each sleeping Thanks to improved construction and aproom as well," he said. pliance safety, Simpkinson said fires have Another important step to take for families become less common in homes, but a little is having an evacuation plan. preparedness can go a long way to make Palo "It's especially good to rehearse with chil- Alto's experience the rule and not the excepdren," Simpkinson said.

Getting to know the plants I am growing, where they originated, what their ideal environment is and how to complement that environment gives me years of continuing education. This month's tips will be on how to learn from your garden in order to make it better and better. 1. Learn a plant a day by getting a plant encyclopedia and trying to identify a new plant each day. Learn its Latin name "Genus and Species" in order to have a sure identification and the ability to communicate with other gardeners better. 2. Study some plant structural characteristics to help identify and remember what you have seen. Here are some basic questions: Is it a tree, shrub, ground cover, flowering plant or a food plant? This narrows down the search considerably. 3. Look at the green part. Does it have leaves? Are they opposite each other on the stem or alternate? Do the edges have teeth on them or are they smooth?

Find a healthy plant and look at the soil it is growing in. Try to notice if it is moist, dry, sandy or with a lot of organic matter? Is it hard or can you stick your fingers down into it pretty easily? These things tell you what the plant likes and flourishes in. 5. Learn where different plants come from. Cyclamen for example are found in a surprising number of countries. Here is a website with a lot of information on Cyclamen: www.cyclamen.org. 6. I have found people interested in gardening to be very creative, intelligent and even flamboyant. Get out and meet some gardeners; if nothing else, it will make you more interesting yourself. 7. Get yourself a good magnifying glass or jewelers loop. Look at leaves, bark, stems, flowers, insects, worms, slugs and snails, roots, seeds and a thousand other things. 8. Visit many gardens. My personal goal is to visit 100 world-class gardens. I still have about 70 to go. 9. Share your garden with others or if you don't have a garden, adopt one. There are community gardens to join or even parking strips to spruce up. I know one horticulturalist that cultivated a street median in San Francisco. 10. Teach a young person about gardening. They say the teacher learns more than the student. If you know something interesting about how to garden, share it. It will make the world a better place. Good Gardening.

Tea Party could hold rally before convention
Published: Monday, July 23, 2012 at 2:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 23, 2012 at 2:44 p.m.
TAMPA — Two dozen tea party and like-minded groups are trying to organize a rally that would take place the day before the Republican National Convention begins and feature former presidential candidates Michelle Bachmann and Herman Cain.
The Tampa Bay Times reports that Unity Rally 2012 could take place in a parking lot outside Raymond James Stadium, though details are still unclear.
The Tampa Sports Authority says the group has expressed interest but there has been no contract signed yet.
In St. Petersburg, the RNC itself is holding its official welcome event at Tropicana Field on Aug. 26.
In Tampa, Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, is holding a free public rally at the University of South Florida. A group of Paul supporters also is organizing a festival at the Florida State Fairgrounds.

Coast Guard searching for missing fisherman
By Mike Glenn | August 28, 2013 | Updated: August 28, 2013 8:59pm
The Coast Guard is searching for a fisherman after finding his boat floating near the Bolivar Ferry terminal, authorities said.
A ferry captain spotted the unmanned boat early Wednesday. A Coast Guard crew recovered the craft shortly after 9:15 a.m.
They found a bamboo pole inside the boat, which appeared to be homemade, Coast Guard officials said.
The boat has been seen in the area in the past. Coast Guard officials described the missing fisherman as an Asian man in his 50s.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Coast Guard officials at 713-671-5113.

Step By Step Saturday (Valentine's Edition) with Gerry Van Gent
This is Gerry here today and I`d love to share with you
- Use the beautiful frame from the "Peek-A-Boos" and cut out the rectangle in the middle.
- Use 12″x12″ white cardstock to outline the shape of the Peek-A-Boo Frame
- Outline once again the frame but this time exactly above the other one.
- You`ll fold the card in the middle (see photo below)
- Ink the edges of the card, adhere the Peek-A-Boo on top
- Optional: Hand-stitch a rectangle along the edges of the middle frame
- Cut a rectangle from "Ampersand" pattern paper with size approx. 2.5″ x 4.5″ and adhere in the centre.
- Use your favourite die cut stencil (e.g. with swirls) and your favourite circle punch or die cut stencil. You need these die-cuts for your layering.
- Use the rubber stamps "Love you Madly" – Nr 1 & Nr 4 – and stamp on a piece of white cardstock. I used the same color ink as the inked edges of the card.
- Once you are ready with the stamping cut the numbers 1 & 4 out
- Outline the edges with a black pen (with a fine point)
- Now you can begin your layering.
- Place the die-cuts on top of one another
- Choose your favorite Giant Rhinestone from "Love you Madly" collection and adhere in the centre of your top layer.
- Use twine or string to make a bow

4. Liverpool - 9.96 shots/goal (568 shots/57 goals)
Liverpool are next on our list, and their 568 shots on goal this season have produced 57 goals.
While it is a testament to the Reds' style under Brendan Rodgers that they are getting so many shots away, they remain wasteful.
Luiz Suarez may be the Premier League's leading scorer this season but he has also fired 160 shots on goal - the highest of any player in the league.
The fact Liverpool have filled their boots against "lesser" teams like Wigan and Norwich also warps the picture somewhat.

Small Animal Optical Imaging
There are two types of optical imaging that can be used to report gene or disease marker expression in vivo: Bioluminescence and fluorescence imaging.
Bioluminescence requires the expression of luciferase (firefly or renilla) as a gene reporter and the administration of luciferin as an optical probe of the reporter. When the enzyme encounters its substrate, a photon is liberated providing a single photon imaging event, termed bioluminescence. Since the rate of generation of bioluminescence is determined by the diffusional encounter of the enzyme and substrate in the presence of oxygen and ATP, the photon count rate in bioluminescence imaging can be considered to be at least comparable to the photon count rates associated with the decay of radiotracers in nuclear imaging. In order to remove background "noise" bioluminescence must be performed under "light-tight" conditions within an imaging box. At the Frensley Imaging Center, we employ bioluminescence measurements using a sensitive CCD camera coupled to a light tight box outfitted for maintaining an anesthetized animal. Investigators interested in bioluminescence imaging must provide their own animal model. Currently, tomography is not available for bioluminescence imaging.
Fluorescence imaging
Fluorescence imaging requires either the expression of a fluorescent gene reporter, such as green fluorescent protein or red fluorescent protein, or the administration of an exogenous fluorescent imaging probe. In contrast to bioluminescence, fluorescence imaging requires illumination of the animal with excitation light which can activate the fluorophore. Since fluorophores can be repeatedly activated by tissue propagated excitation light, the photon count rate can be significantly higher than in nuclear imaging or bioluminescence. However, visible light can be dramatically attenuated as well as excite endogeneous fluorophores, resulting in a high background and low imaging sensitivity. A specialty of the laboratory resides in the development of near-infrared fluorescence imaging agents and techniques which feature a low autofluorescence background, high sensitivity, and high photon count rates. Planar imaging is used in the center to dynamically track viruses, cells, and particles, as well as to perform molecularly targeting studies. Tomography is currently under validation.

29 year old woman | Tallahassee, FL, USA | Seeking men 25-32 within 50 miles
The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.
First, let me just say if you don't like big dogs you should stop reading right now. I know what I want in life and i'm not afraid to go after it. I want to meet someone with that same mentality. Like everyone else on this site, it's not hard for me to go out and meet someone in public, i'm a very outgoing person, but obviously meeting people in bars hasn't exactly worked out, so here I am! I love doing things outdoors, I love going to the beach, although I am sort of a chicken when getting in, had a horrific experience when I was younger lol :/ I love going to new places, unfortunately I haven't been able to travel much, but I was able to go to Europe in 2011 and that was amazing, hope to do it again someday. I am the pickiest eater you will ever meet, but I will always try something first before I decide I don't like it. Sushi is my favorite food of all time, I can be in the worst mood and all I will need is Sushi, cheesecake, and Ben and Jerry's ice cream and I will almost be happy. I don't ask for much in a guy, just be trusting, honest, fit, I don't like lazy bums. Also, you must love football, liking the Seminoles is a huge plus. I'm a huge college football fan and even a big pro fan, I love my dolphins even if they have their on and off seasons. My family and friends mean the world to me so I also want someone that feels the same way about their family. Okay, well can't really think of much else, but if you want to get to know me better e-mail me to say hey. :)
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Cycling, Other types of exercise, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Dogs
I like Cats, Exotic Pets, Horses
I have an English Mastiff! He is the love of my life, and does sleep in the bed with me :)
Europe! Also, since i'm from Miami, I love visiting my dad. I was raised in Tallahassee so love going back there too.
I love hanging out with friends, whether it be going to the movies, going to a bar, or just sitting at a house and relaxing. I also love going to the beach or the pool. Also, going to football games!!
Like everyone else, I read the Hunger Games, and am now reading the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy :)

Mitigation of environmental perturbations can only be achieved by focusing on technology, and developing policies and practices that encourage the evolution of environmentally preferable process and product technologies.
Economic actors, including private firms, must internalize environmental considerations and constraints to the extent possible, given existing exogenous constraints on firm behavior (e.g., laws such as the antitrust statutes or the prices of inputs and competitive products).
Policies and regulations must reflect the need for experimentation and research as different paths and methodologies are tried (rigid micromanagement through command-and-control regulation will in many cases be incompatible with systems-based approaches embodied in methodologies such as Design for Environment (DFE), as the unfortunate negative impact of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act on industrial recycling practices demonstrates (see the paper by Pfahl in this volume and, more generally, Office of Technology Assessment [OTA], 1992).
Obviously, a great deal of work remains to be done before we begin to fully understand industrial ecology and apply it to current industrial ecosystems (see the discussion by Ehrenfeld in this volume). In the interim, however, there can be no excuse for evading the application of the approaches we do understand to ongoing regulatory and industrial behavior. Although just emerging and still generally untested at this point, DFE is one potential methodology for accomplishing this. Design for Environment should be regarded more as an approach, than as an existing, implemented system.
Before introducing DFE, it is important to recognize that our current unsophisticated approaches tend not to recognize important differences among classes of products and materials. Thus, for example, it is useful to differentiate between two classes of manufactured items: low-design/high-material items, such as packaging, consumer personal care items (e.g., soaps and shampoos), and bulk chemicals; and high-design/low-material products such as automobiles, electronic and communications equipment, and airplanes.
These product streams generally have different life cycles within the economy. For example, the former tend to be used up and dispersed into the environment rather than discarded (packaging being an obvious exception). Materials use in the two cases also implies different recycling and disposal requirements. Materials use in a low-design/high-material product stream tends to be relatively simple, and, in many cases, few materials are incorporated into individual items (this need not be the case, however; a snack chip bag only 0.002 inch thick consists of nine separate layers of material [OTA, 1992]). Thus, recycling is fairly straightforward. On the other hand, the structure and materials use of a high-design/low-material product such as a printed wiring board are highly complex, and many materials, including different plastics, ceramics, alloys, frits, and glass-

Real Housewives of New York
Who Did Ramona Singer Spend Her New Year's Eve With?
Real Housewives of New York star Ramona Singer seems to pride herself on not acting a day over thirty, for better and for worse, and she proved she's still in with the young crowd on New Years Eve (December 31) by chumming with her teenage daughter Avery and some of her friends.
Yep, Ramona posed alongside three very young blondes for this Twitter picture, and while she's got several decades on the other gals, her outfit is nearly as short and tight-fitting as theirs are. And frankly, she looks pretty darn great, too.
Ramona was also pictured with a few fellow adults, including hubby Mario Singer, in another shot from their vacation in Anguilla … but still, knowing what we do about Ramona, she's probably pretty proud to fit right in with these young ladies on camera. Meow!

Modena Pizzaiolo School
4 Attachment(s)
Here are some photos of the pizzaiolo school in Modena. The class had 12 students and 2 teachers, and they learned to cook in wood-fired and gas-fired dome ovens (FB Modena) along with a traditional deck oven (that did not get a lot of love). The man tossing the dough is the head of the school -- he was pretty darn good with a dough ball.
The last photo is of a pretty cool oven. It has a rotating hearth, and it can use either gas or wood for fuel. Loook closely and you can see both flames in the dome.
Re: Modena Pizzaiolo School
Are they working on a granite countertop surface there?
Re: Modena Pizzaiolo School
Yes, I think so. What does that make you think? Different from marble?
Re: Modena Pizzaiolo School
It just remided me of the countertop in that Youtube pizzaiolo video. It looks like the same surface. I have been forming pizzas on a wood cutting board. Perhaps I should just go straight on my counters...
Re: Modena Pizzaiolo School
Check out Throw Dough | The Official Stuff
It is simulated silicon pizza dough - I ordered a set so I can practice my dough skillz!!! They have a few video snippits. If I wasn't married I imagine this would be a great way to meet the ladies...fatty tossing dough!
We use granite counters at our pizzeria - but I trained on marble. I honestly don't know the difference - but the metal peel does slide very easily under the pizzas - even our giant ones.
It will be interesting when we get our commercial wood ovens in. I have always been a wood peel guy - I wonder if a metal peel will cause a few fumbles into a hot wood oven vs. our deck ovens today...
Re: Modena Pizzaiolo School
Thanks for that Jay. Very good! I am sure I will never learn to do that.
We are trying to get our hands on a training video our tools producer put together that shows some great dough throwing skills (and pizza peels techniques as well). If we can ever get the Italian mail to work, I will do that.
Drew, most pizzerias and professional pizzaiolos I have watched make their pizzas on a solid, cold surface, such as marble or granite. They bank up flour in one corner of the prep table, and pull it in as they need it. When the pizza is ready, they pull it onto a metal pizza peel (did you notice that the pizzaiolo school uses the same pizza peels that Forno Bravo sells?) trying to leave excess flour behind, then slide the pizza into the oven.
Give it a shot on your counters and see how it works for you. I would like to hear.

Care & Use
- For best results, wash before you use for the first time and promptly after each use.
- Avoid prolonged soaking , as the chlorine and mineral content of your water, especially iron, may cause pitting or staining.
- Use a gentle dishwater detergent (avoid using lemon-scented products).
- Wash nickel-plate separately from sterling or silverplated items, as pitting can occur. Place spoons and forks into baskets with handles facing downward.
- Remove flatware prior to the drying cycle and whip with a soft towel. This decreases the amount of time flatware spends in a hot, moist atmosphere, and helps reduce the incidence of spotting.
- Should spots or stains occur, we recommend using a quality metal polish. Also, rubbing alcohol or salad oil can be used to remove stubborn water marks. While nickel-plate is designed to resist most common stains, corrosion and/or discoloration may be caused due to prolonged contact with chloride rich foods such as salt, mayonnaise, mustard and eggs.
Reed & Barton offers high quality, maintenance-free nickel-plate gifts for babies and children. It's easy care, stain-resistant finish make it easy for busy families today. Below are some easy care tips to follow.

text: Amid deepening corruption scandals in Turkey, the Turkish Government has shut down access to a number of social media outlets, most recently Twitter, after Twitter failed to comply with their demands to censor links to wiretapped conversations of the inner circle which seem to provide evidence of corruption. Prime Minister Erdogan was unfazed by condemnation of this move, saying "the international community can say this, can say that. I don't care at all. Everyone will see how powerful the Republic of Turkey is".
