Fly Day 2013 – One of the Best Ever!!!
The fall season for the Ottawa Flying Club is also synonymous with Fly Day! Saturday September 28th to be exact was a very important date for our club. Not only does it demonstrate our flawless operations, it also showcases our club, our volunteers and The Rotary Club of Ottawa which once again was our sponsored charity.
The day broke with some fog in the outlining areas which prevented a few visiting and participating aircraft to fly-in but that did not hamper the start of Fly Day as scheduled with our first flight just after 9 AM. The sky was blue till the eye could see with a CAVOK forecast for the entire day! A total of 16 aircraft and +40 volunteers helped make Fly Day one of the best on record. As the last flight touched down at 17:15 pilots had taken up 313 people and helped raise over $11,000 for The Rotary Club of Ottawa!
Hundreds of hours were spent organizing this event but in the end it would not have been such a success without all of the volunteer pilots, marshallers and passenger escorts. Special thanks also go out to the MacDonald-Cartier International Airport Authority, Nav Canada, Ottawa Flying Club Management, OFC Dispatch, Frank Schilder (Fly Day Load Master), Rob Schwartz and team (Fly Day Air Bosses), Paul Wagner (Lead Marshall), Peter Luff (Lead Passenger Escort), Charlene Mathias who surveyed the patiently waiting public, and also the numerous Algonquin College students who participated.
Enjoy the remainder of the fall flying season. Stay tuned for news of next year's event!

Andy Doolen '92, a UW-Eau Claire English graduate, is the director of the new American Studies Center located at Shanghai University. The center was established in partnership with the University of Kentucky, where Doolen serves as an associate professor of English as well as the director of the American Studies Program.
The center, which is dedicated to the study of Appalachian culture, seeks to foster an ongoing exchange of ideas, culture and history. It is meant to reflect the critical and creative research being done in Kentucky.
Doolen received his doctorate from the University of Arizona in 2001. As an educator, he tries to provide his students with the same experience he had at UW-Eau Claire.
"My professors challenged us, took us seriously, taught difficult books and, most importantly, seemed to love what they were doing," he said. "I still try to emulate them every semester that I teach, and if I'm being honest with myself, I realize that I still have a long way to go."
He published his first book, "Fugitive Empire," in 2005. His second book is due to be released sometime next year.

CNBC (cable news US) recently interviewed individuals about LEGO's business techniques and one of our own contributors, Chris Smith was one of them!
CNBC is airing a 5 part series named "The Business of Innovation" on Sunday nights. The website is http://innovation.cnbc.com/en. They have posted the episodes that have aired to this point and will post the remaining parts as they air.
In part 3 - "New Tricks & Old Dogs" they will discuss companies that ask customers what they want. LEGO used this somewhat unorthodox business practice during the LEGO MindStorms Robotics NXT Development Program. As part of this program, Chris was one of the 100 roboticists worldwide asked to help out.

Every so often a touring artists's backstage demands are revealed, and every year we're amazed at the ridiculous requests some of stars call for. Granted, it's not easy being on the road six months to a year at a time, but 50 white kittens and 50 doves? Really, Mariah Carey? Sometimes the requests happen to be trivial (Rihanna demands lots of candy) but most of the time the request are brow-raising (wait until you see Marilyn Manson's demand). 80's rock band Van Halen kicked off the trend– initially a "test" to see if promoters actually read their lengthy requests and demanded the rider be stocked with M&M's, except for the brown ones. If that's the trend among touring artists, seems like the Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Kanye West are following suit with wacky and ridiculous stipulations for their tour entrourage! Check out 15 celebrities with diva backstage demands below.
A source who claims to be close to or involved with the Mrs. Carter World Tour alleges Bey and her troop use $900 Titanium straws to sip alkaline water warmed to 69.8° F. Mrs. Carter calls for hand-carved ice balls and as for toiletries? Red for after her show, and toilet paper is a must. Red paper? Titanium straws? Really, Beyonce?

Chris Rogers returned to haunt Gloucestershire as Middlesex stole a crucial march in the race for a Clydesdale Bank 40 semi-final place.
Needing victory to take charge of Group A, the Gladiators instead suffered a crushing 10-wicket defeat on the final day of the Cheltenham Festival, a result which casts doubt over their ability to qualify for the knockout stages.
So often a thorn in Gloucestershire's side during four seasons spent with Derbyshire, the 34-year-old Western Australian dominated proceedings at the College Ground.
Rogers smashed a century and sharing in a match-winning unbroken stand of 218 with Dawid Malan as Middlesex chased down a victory target of 215 with 9.3 overs to spare.
The result saw them move above Holland to assume leadership of the group.
None of Gloucestershire's bowlers was spared as Rogers made 122 runs from 102 balls to register his first one-day century for Middlesex, smashing 18 fours and a six in the process.
Malan proved equally uncompromising, cutting and pulling his way to a chanceless 89 from 81 deliveries with seven fours and four sixes to put the Panthers in control of the group.
Rogers and Malan's partnership was the highest for the first wicket in any one-day match for Middlesex, surpassing the 210 posted by Paul Weekes and Ed Smith against Northumberland at Jesmond in 2005.
Insufficient though it was, Gloucestershire's total of 214-8 was built around Dan Housego's enterprising innings of 68 from 67 balls.

Lady Bugs Protect Mall Of America's Greenery
By editor
Originally published on Fri April 26, 2013 12:46 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Minnesota's Mall of America is home to some 500 stores, a theme park and now some 72,000 ladybugs. Third graders released them inside the shopping center this week. Ladybugs protect the mall's 30,000 plants by eating aphids. Some mall-goers worried the bugs might descend on the food court, but a spokesman says the mall has released the ladybugs for years, and there's been no ladybug takeover yet. It's MORNING EDITION.

Hello everyone!
First I hope this is in the right forum, if not move it to where it belongs!
Anyway, I hope someone here can assist me in looking for an answer to a question that has been bothering me for a while. Currently I run/own a small computer repair businesses that handles quite a bit of computer parts inventory. Some of it is new parts, but a majority of it is computers / parts from computers that customers simply give to us to recycle and dispose of. State law in our state makes it illegal for trash companies to pick up electronic devices destined for landfills so this has forced consumers to come to me simply giving things away. Such as a laptop with a broken screen that works otherwise that they felt was too expensive to fix, etc.
This results in a large influx of parts on a fairly regular basis from disassembled systems and sometimes systems themselves that just need a used part to make work.
My goal is to have an inventory management system in place that allows someone to sit down and log the parts that we have when new stuff comes in, and then when stuff is sold. This does not need to be tied into a POS system as we don't sell enough parts alone to justify that route. Rather we'd county inventory at the end of each month and simply make sure it matches what the records say. This information would be used for insurance purposes as well as knowing what we have to sell or not to sell.
I would like for the software to meet the following several requirements:
- Ability to be web-based for ease of updating and thus the DB could be stored on one of our off-site servers too.
- Highly customizable fields (and categories) so that I can ensure as much info possible on each item is in the database.
- Possibly software designed with computer businesses like mine in mine is a huge plus!
- Preferably open source, but I'd consider paid options. I just don't want to pay in the $1000+ POS/range.
***** These are not requirements, just wishes *****
- Have a mobile app to update right from my tablet in the backroom (this isn't a requirement, just a wish.
- Possibly have barcode input if we choose to get a barcode system down the road.
If anyone knows of any software that would meet these needs I definitely would like to know.

Crispy Pizza bottom
My brother and I are no newcomers to cooking. We have been making pizza for years in a conventional oven using a pizza restaurant dough recipe that we got from a friend that owned a very successful restaurant. Now that we have a WFO we have been making pizza just about every weekend to showcase our labor of love to family and friends. The pizza comes our ourstanding. The crust (bones as we call them) are crispy yet light and airy. The overall texture is fantastic. The only thing we would like to do is get the underneath a little crispier. We don't overload with toppings or sauce. The oven floor is between 750 and 800 degrees and the internal temperature is slightly higher. We slide the pizza on the floor and let the steam dissipate and then rotate so as not to burn the edges. We will slide the pizza away from the flames to even give the pie longer cooking times without burning (2mins instead of 90secs. We will also rake the coals on the floor after a few pies have been made to keep the temperature hot. Maybe it's just us because everybody raves about it but I would like to get that bottom a little crispier. Any suggestions or am I just your typical cook that always has a hard time judging their own work.
Re: Crispy Pizza bottom
I would suggest trying different dough recipes/flours. Oil can, for example give you a crisper bottom for you will effectively fry the dough on the hearth. KA Italian flour is, in my experience, crisper and more like Roman pizza dough.
Think of pizza is a journey, and not as a destination. You will be learning and experimenting forever! There is always something to do better!
Good Luck!
Re: Crispy Pizza bottom
We are currently using an all purpose unbleached flour. 1 1/3 cups water, 3 cups (1lb) flour, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp sugar in the water with 1/2 + tsp of yeast, 1 tbs oil. Water in the mixer and then adding the dry. We get a nice sticky yet managable dough that we proof at 100 degrees till it doubles in size (about 45mins) the we cut in half form ;in a ball and let proof out in the refridge till it is piza time. We then take it out and let it rest for a good half hour or more and then make our pizzas. We tried a fine Italian flour right from the Mother land but saw no difference. You don't want to use high gluten and I don't think bleached would make a difference. It is pobably just the difference between the gas restaurant ovens and the WFOs. The pizzas are nice and light and the dough has a great flavor. Thanks for the advice. OH!!!!!!!! Italian bread dough is the same as pizza dough without the addition of sugar is it not?
Re: Crispy Pizza bottom
Italian breads have more variability in a given name than the French. Pane Pugliese is in my experience a simple yeast bread with no oil or sugar, just commercial yeast, flour, water, salt. Also, not slashed.
Since you are using oil you might try simply increasing the heat of the hearth a bit but you are running your oven pretty hot to begin with.
I don't use oil in my doughs unless I am using bread flour and not always even then.
Looking up Roman dough online suggests you need some semolina - say 1/4 cup for your three cups and that the semolina will make it crisper. Some people also replace some of the AP with pastry flour to make it more tender at the same time as they make it crisper. Other advice is don't overmix.
Re: Crispy Pizza bottom
Jay is far more the expert than I, but I agree with changing up your dough mix.
Many of us have had poor luck with all purpose flours and the high temps of a WFO. All purpose works fine in your home gas/electric and you neighborhood pizza shop, but you only talking around 500 degrees.
I've got to say, Caputo flour works fantastic and is well worth the cost. No comparison to the readily available all purpose and bread flours I've found.
The Caputo will give a crispy bottom, poofy cornice with nice char, and an overall texture that is light, slightly firm (not tough), and airy. To top it off, the most basic recipe works the best. 62%-65% hydration with no oil or sugar (regardless of yeast type). Just a bit of experimenting with salt and yeast content based when I intend to use it. I've gone high on the yeast in order to use the dough in a hurry (within a couple of hours) and used very little when doing an overnight refrigerated proofing). I've seen very little texture difference, but better taste (and much less a yeast taste) with the overnight.
Re: Crispy Pizza bottom
Try adding a couple of tablespoonsful per 4 cups of flour, of semolina to your dough. It makes the base more crunchy.
Re: Crispy Pizza bottom
Jay, RT, Dave,
Thanks for the input. I have been reading about the addition of semolina flour. I am going to give that a try. The dough, like I said, is delicious. I just want to get the bottom a little more done. It is amazing how much better pizza tastes in the WFO. A friend wanted to go out for pizza last week and I just started to laugh. We went for sushi. Does that mean I have turned into a pizza snob?
Re: Crispy Pizza bottom
>Does that mean I have turned into a pizza snob?
YEP! Welcome to the club!
Re: Crispy Pizza bottom
We used to cook the pizzas on trays instead of directly on the floor. This method results in a soggy base presumably because moisture is trapped between the tray and the base. Cooking straight on the floor produces superior results.
Re: Crispy Pizza bottom
These pies go right on a 750+ degree floor and it is great watching them "let off steam" and then start to rise around the edges and bubble in the middle as the sauce actually boils. Love It.

THE western Alps are stretching, say researchers in France. Like most mountain ranges, the Alps were created by two tectonic plates colliding. For 80 million years, Africa and Eurasia have been pushing against each other, thrusting the Alps upward. Scientists thought this was still happening.
But now a study using satellite measurements has shown that while the southern Alps are still being squeezed, the western part of the range is being pulled apart by about 2 millimetres a year (

If you have teens at home, do carefully monitor the content of the TV shows they watch and the movies they attend? If not, here's a wakeup call for you.
According to a story at PluggedIn.com, researchers have concluded that for every hour of exposure to sexual content in media, teens are more than five times more likely to lose their virginity within six years.
This new study focused on 1,200 children between the ages 12 and 14, with follow-ups conducted six years later. According to lead researcher Dr. Ross O'Hara, teens who are exposed to this type of content are likely to become sexually active at younger ages, and engage in a variety of risky behaviors.
Dr. Ohara says this study, and other similar studies, strongly suggest that parents need to restrict their children from seeing sexual content in movies.
The report found that more than half of adolescents use movies and the media as their "greatest source of sexual information." But unfortunately, many of these kids couldn't tell the difference between what they saw on screen and what they confronted in real life. By the way, if you think that "G" rated movies are always safe and wholesome, think again. Nearly 700 of the highest grossing movies released between 1998 and 2004 formed the basis for this study.
More than a THIRD of G-rated movies were found to contain "sexual content"--defined as anything from "sexual scenes to heavy kissing").

Publicist Gary Miereanu continues to reveal more and more of the upcoming DC animated movie, Justice League: War. He previously released images of some heroes and Darkseid, and today, he tweeted the first picture of Darkseid's follower, Desaad. Miereanu also informed us the character is voiced by Bruce Thomas. Here's the image he shared.
Justice League: War is based on Geoff Johns and Jim Lee's opening story in the New 52's JUSTICE LEAGUE series. Seeing as Desaad wasn't in that and Aquaman is being replaced with Shazam in the film, it definitely seems like there will be some big changes. We're seeing more and more images as the movie approaches, so hopefully a trailer isn't too far away!
Justice League: War is directed by Jay Oliva and currently set to release early 2014.

A stylish multimedia laptop, but everyday performance could be stronger. HP's Pavilion range is aimed at home users, with a mix of stylish, feature-packed laptops available. The Pavilion dv5- 1110em is one such laptop and offers great value for money. Packed with features, the HP Pavilion dv5-1110em may lack the all-out performance of its Intel-based rivals, but it's still a desirable and impressive laptop. That it also includes a Blu-ray drive at such a competitive price is a bonus, helping to offer great value for money.

HP's Pavilion dv5-1110em is the ideal laptop for the recession, cramming in loads of features at a bargain basement price. Billed as an Entertainment Notebook PC, the dv5 comes with an integrated Blu-ray optical drive - a surprise at this price. At a touch over £500, it's amazing just how much the Pavilion dv5-1101em has to offer. There are few cheaper machines featuring Blu-ray drives, and it also provides reasonable multimedia performance. Along with the excellent build quality and comfort, it's easy to recommend this laptop. Only the choice of processor lets it down - we found it slower than equivalent Intel-based machines, and the battery life is also poor. That said, unless you're going to be carrying out the most processor-intensive tasks, or need a laptop for long-term travel, it's a price well worth paying.

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450: Successor of the HD 2400 produced in 55nm (therefore with a faster clockspeed) and with DirectX 10.1 support. Avivo HD video support enables the gpu to decode HD videos. For modest casual gamers suited (demanding games run only in very low settings).
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

AMD Turion X2: The Turion X2 (without 64) is based on the Turion X2 Ultra, but has only 1024 MB L2 Cache and is therefore slower (performance compareable to the old Turion 64 X2). Because of new parts from the K10 architecture, the CPU should be more energy efficient.
Griffin based entry-level dual core processor. The cores are still based on the old K8 architecture (memory controller is newer).

As if it weren't bad that ninety nine percent of all celebrities undergo plastic surgery these days, now animated Disney stars are going under the knife too.
A Venezuelan plastic surgery center is taking on some serious flak for running a series of billboard ads showing various fairy tale characters undergoing plastic surgery.
While a couple of the ads featsure some pretty generic characters (a witch, a frog, etc.), one of them is clearly modeled after Ariel, the "Little Mermaid."
After going under the knife, Ariel boasts a pair of legs and a nicely-enhanced pair of breasts.
Some are obviously worried about the image and what it will say to girls and young women.
What do you think? Do these ads cross the line?

Turning On a Dime
The Release Cycle of Novell Open Workgroup Suite Small Business Edition Keeps Partners in the Loop
April 2008
- Tech Talk 01 With all your data in your OpenOffice.org Base database, how do you access it to help make decisions? Query your database to help you analyze your data
- Tech Talk 02 If you didn't make it to BrainShare or just want a recap of the keynote messages this article is for you. The Novell executives walk you through the latest and greatest in Novell strategy and technology.
- Tech Talk 03 Attention Web enterprise developers: Mono is ready to take on the Microsoft-dominated ASP.NET stack. You can now deploy your software on Linux-based servers without the powers that be feeling a thing.
- Tech Talk 04 Lengthy release cycles are a thing of the past. We want to know what you want, and we want to deliver it to you now.
- Proof Point As a non-profit organization, Sesame Workshop has a small IT staff with a big job. They've found the extra help they need with Novell ZENworks Asset Management and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
- Trend Talk Are tightening budgets forcing you to consider other options? Start considering other office productivity suites (and some are online offerings) to release the strangle hold proprietary vendors might have on you-and your budget.
IIf you think about small business software release cycles in terms of years, think again. Given the importance of the small-business market—and the wealth of ideas and experience of the partners who serve it, Novell has an entirely new plan for release cycles up its sleeve. You won't be waiting until 2009 before you see new versions of Novell Open Workgroup Suite Small Business Edition, because when it comes to partner- and customer-requested features, Novell understands that some things are just too important to put off.
Critical Feedback—Rapid Response
For Novell channel partners that cater to small businesses, Novell Open Workgroup Suite Small Business Edition makes it easier for them to offer their clients a complete, yet affordable, desktop-to-server solution that provides all the tools they need to be productive and competitive. Released in October of 2007, the solution offers a whole host of proven, Linux-based technologies at a savings of up to 80 percent over proprietary alternatives. (See Novell Open Workgroup Suite Small Business Edition 2 Lineup.)
In addition, the integrated and streamlined installation, straightforward management tools, remote support capabilities and help desk services have all been tailored to help partners better serve their small business customers. But there is one often-overlooked aspect of the solution that has the potential to help partners and their small business customers even more: the solution's agile release cycle.
Often, when customers or partners request new features or capabilities from a vendor, the complexity of the solution—combined with lengthy release cycles—means it takes a while before those requests actually debut in a shipping product. But the structure of Novell Open Workgroup Suite Small Business Edition gives Novell the agility and ability to frequently enhance it to meet the evolving needs of the small-business market.
This was evidenced last month at BrainShare during an advanced partner session on Novell Open Workgroup Suite Small Business Edition. As part of the session, the presenter talked about the suite's help desk management utility, which makes it easier for partners to support their customers. The discussion centered on the way the solution's Web portal allows users to submit trouble tickets describing problems they're experiencing.
While partner attendees expressed their delight at how easy the help desk tool makes it for users to submit trouble tickets, a few voiced a common concern: many users can't adequately explain the nature of their problems. Even though the trouble ticket's description field is an obvious necessity, what they really wanted was to allow users to easily upload a screenshot illustrating their problem.
Knowing the already-agile nature of the suite's product development cycle, the presenter indicated that Novell would try to add that capability in the release planned for the second half of 2008. Almost immediately, one of the solution's lead engineers stood up and basically said, "We can see that this is too important to put off that long. We'll add the feature now. You'll get it in our upcoming Novell Open Workgroup Suite Small Business Edition 2 release."
Quickly adding this screenshot upload capability to the upcoming release of Novell Open Workgroup Suite Small Business Edition 2 is just one example of how Novell intends to respond to the needs of its small business solution providers and customers. Rapid response to the requirements and feedback Novell receives from partners and customers is part of Novell's ongoing plan for the solution.
In discussing these plans, Novell Workgroup Collaboration Product Manager, Melanie Feeney, stated, "Getting feedback from our partners and customers on Novell Open Workgroup Suite Small Business Edition is extremely important to us. Our agile release cycle not only allows us to improve this solution with the latest technologies every three to four months, but it allows us to continually improve and enhance it based on the feedback we receive. That feedback is critical to the solution's success."
Agile Releases
In addition to the new screenshot upload feature in the impending release, Novell Open Workgroup Suite Small Business Edition 2 has some pretty significant enhancements. The biggest of these is the inclusion of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 and components of Novell Open Enterprise Server 2. Not only does this bring added stability to the suite, but it delivers two major benefits: increased hardware support and the ability to deploy virtual servers.
With SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, you can take full advantage of the latest hardware innovations, including 64-bit hardware with its extra processing power, added memory capabilities, and improved heat and energy savings. The increased hardware support also enables customers to take advantage of a significantly wider array of third-party drivers.
The virtualization capabilities available in Novell Open Workgroup Suite Small Business Edition 2 make it easier for small businesses to implement server consolidation strategies that deliver savings on hardware, rack space, and cooling and power requirements. It also enables you to run individual workgroup services, such as GroupWise and anti-spam filters, on the same physical hardware but within separate virtual servers.
Leveraging its agile release cycle, Novell plans to release another update to Novell Open Workgroup Suite Small Business Edition in the second half of 2008. This release will focus on delivering IT administration and management improvements that partners and customers have asked for.

We're always big fans of those who document lesser-known subcultures, especially if those subcultures involve spray paint, cars, and big clouds of smoke. Simon Davidson is one such gentlemen – he's been photographing the Australian drag-racing scene for almost a decade. Turns out (joy of joys!) it's a wacky, wild and exhibitionistic sport that's positively thriving. His latest series, Salt and Smoke, is a devilish blend of high-performance automobiles and sweeping desert vistas. And for those daredevils amongst you, I'd highly recommend Burnouts.

I encourage you to experiment and understand how to successfully cultivate algae. The techniques and process outlined here will work for most algae strains.
Please bear with me, this is a work in progress. I normally publish open source software where the policy is "Publish early and often". The content is constantly being revised and I'm open to collaboration on many elements.
For instance the crude incubator could easily be supplemented with a sound design using plastic sheets with hinged access panels and portholes with oversized rubber gloves mounted in them. And so on.
In Part I we used a readily available algae source to create a healthy algae culture which gets fed with air, sunlight and liquid plant food to provide CO2 scrubbing on a small scale.
The original sample probably had a wide variety of micro-organisms, many of which are probably bubbling harmlessly away in the soup. But we're not here to create bio-soup, we're here to make algae.
It will be very nice for you if you have a microscope but you do not need one. It should be possible to obtain a single species algae culture and breed it up to production reactor populations without one. If you happen to have one, as I do not, then you can whole hog nuts and breed a pure culture from a single cell.
In any event if you want to get serious about algae you'll need to learn to culture and cultivate algae. These skills can be applied to special purpose algae species obtained from the appropriate channels. There is an appendix with more detail on obtaining single species specialized algae cultures from universities and research institutions. Expect to pay about $75 for a culture which, with sound breeding practices, is sufficient to create pure feedstock. Put some of that in a bioreactor full of pure water, nutrients and you're done.
For the rest of us we're going to isolate some algae cultures from our birdbath sample in a Petri dish (or substitute such as I use) with Agar (or a substitute).
From that we're going to identify some single culture strains (one batch of green stuff). We're going to multiply those strains in some small bottles to understand the process of scaling up a culture.
At the end we're going to create our production breeder reactor which will consist of one culture reactor which is used to maintain a constant population and two breeder reactors used to create feedstock for production reactors (in the case of CO2 scrubbers) or for feeder reactors which are moderate sized (3-5 gallon) reactors for producing feedstock for above ground pool based open pond or vertical growth closed reactor systems.
Okay with all said and done let's take a look at what we're going to need...
How can producing algae benefit from local conditions such as weather, climate, in-water application etc. so that it becomes a natural resource activity?
In Part One there is are two PDFs attached that speak to this. One is a summary of the NREL research and the other is actually a business model produced by the University of Alabama. The NREL concluded that algae grows everyplace naturally and the local species should be used since they will inevitably dominate any open air production methodology.
The UofA study concludes that algae can be produced sustainably and profitably in conjunction with fish farming.
Overall while clearly tank based methods provide environmental control far beyond local ambient conditions the open air methods ( raceways, ponds and son on ) might need a light break of some sort in areas which have extreme sunlight conditions such as California's Central Valley.
Does that answer your question?
One article mentions the requirement for two outside sources: a concentrated supply of CO2 and a saline solution to act as a medium.
Can seawater be used as a medium?
Thanks again
There are saltwater algae so the technology should generally transfer. A concentrated from of CO2 isn't required but the algae does need it in some form. Ambient CO2 should be sufficient. Do not forget that the algae also require other nutrients which must be supplied by some mechanism.
Hey there.
I stumbled upon this instructable by recognizing your cover picture. The plant on the agar plate is clearly not an alga, but the moss Physcomitrella patens. As a matter of fact I am currently working in the lab of Ralf Reski, where this moss is our preferred organism for studies molecular biology. In addition, this is where this exact photo was made some years ago ;)
Yeah, I hijacked this photo to illustrate the instructable.
Considering the soilwater medium - I'm not sure if I understood this right; every day for three days, I add 5 tsps "cooked soil" and 5mg CaCO3 per liter - so after three days I would have 15 tsps and 15 mg per liter? (excuse me for this question)
kind regards
• • • Fuzzee Dee OUT • • • }~{ <> }~{ ^~^ :->
I am wondering if you would have any source or reference to identify the cultures that have been developed? Something like a quick reference sheet for the most popular algaes found would be most helpful...
Algae based biodiesel is produced with 200 proof ethanol rather than methanol, although I am not familiar with the process. To produce the ethanol you'll need to get a small fuel producers license from the ATF. It's fairly straightforward.
If you live in the southeast you might want to read the attached documents. There is a study of the folks at University of Alabama that includes a very nice algae based business model that might be exploitable.
what plants would you suggest to press oils from to produce biodiesel from methanol or ethanol that might be native to or can be grown in southeastern US?

Can any one help me out in some calculation work its really very urgent , please help me out ..... i need to consume 1932.3kg/hr of CO2 with the help of Algae in a pond (water) for example Raceway pond , so i need to know the specific area to construct that pond and its sizing and dimension (length,etc) and the quantity of water needed and amount of algae used so that it easily consumes the mentioned amount of CO2 rate per hour..... please help me out soon you can also drop your suggestion and questions if any my email id is : email@example.com ....i will be waiting for your reply soon and i'll be highly thankful to you, if someone can help please do tell me its very urgent....
Thank you
algae is the bane of the planted aquarium enthusiast; expose an aquarium to enough light to grow plants, and algae is inevitable. i have bacopa, anubias and Java moss in the tank, with recently added duckweed to actually compete with the algae for nutrients.
duckweed grows like, well, like a weed. i wonder if a dedicated container of algae with a surface of duckweed might be more efficient?
this is all very interesting; thanks for the detailed instructable!
The folks have UTEX (http://www.sbs.utexas.edu/utex/orderingAbout.aspx) have a wide variety of algae cutlures available, including some very exotic breeds.
If you flip that aquarium on its side (perhaps emptying it beforehand would be a good idea) and make it into an incubator you can culture a wide variety of carbon scrubbing and quite exotic aquatic plants.
Once you figure out how to stabilize various cultures a CO2 scrubber makes a perfect gift. I would be very pleased to assist you in working out a pilot project.
It is, of course, in use now as a dietary supplement for humans. There are corners of the world where it is not inconcievable that algae could become the main ingredient in Soylent Green.
Biodiesel can be made from algae using an ethanol and brine process however the processing problems to obtain algae in sufficient quantities for production use are significant.
Exxon just announced a 5 year, $500B program to develop genetically engineered algae for biofuels but they will be starting almost from scratch.
And you can make biochar from it for long term sequestration. There are gasses released which need to be contained by some method. I address this in one of my other instructables: http://www.instructables.com/id/Capture-CO2-with-Lawn-Trimmings/

Comment: Re:His defense will fail... (Score 1) 1431 1431
He went out to his car and retrieved his firearm. The question will be asked, if you were concerned for your safety....why did you return to the theater?
This isn't insightful, it's conjecture.
We don't know that he left the theater to retrieve his firearm, he may have had the firearm on him the whole time and had gone to get the manager... I find it far more likely that he was already carrying his concealed firearm vs. that he was leaving it in a vehicle and went to get it. The whole point of carrying concealed is to defend yourself, the firearm does you no good out in your car and it only becomes a liability if your car is stolen or broken into...
We also don't know that he felt threatened before he left, or when he returned.
From the story so far it doesn't sound like he walked back in and simply shot the younger guy, it sounds like he came back in, sat down, an argument or fight started, and THEN he shot the guy. If the guy was concerned for his life/safety it will be what happened after he returned that caused the concern.
Surveillance footage and testimony from witnesses will start to put this together. We'll know where the older guy went when he left the theater, and we'll start to get a better idea of what happened after he returned and potentially some insight into what could possibly have escalated this from an argument over texting to a fatal shooting.

Summer Fellows
Students enrolled in the International Environmental Policy (IEP) program who are pursuing the concentration in Ocean and Coastal Resource Management are eligible for fully-funded fellowships with top marine organizations during the summer between their 1st and 2nd years.
Applications are due in the spring, followed by interviews with the project leaders. Students are then matched with projects that are best suited to their interests and skills.
In 2012 our students went around the world, from Belize to Liberia to Madrid to Micronesia, to address urgent ocean and coastal policy and management challenges.
In Robertsport, Liberia, Adam Fullerton researched fishing methods, catch species, and size in an artisanal fishery. He worked with the local collaborative fishery management association to help design and implement local management for the ocean and lake fisheries in Grand Cape Mount County, Liberia.
Cynthia Yeh worked with the Research and Development department of the Environmental Defense Fund in San Francisco, California, helping to develop a global strategy for small scale fisheries, and evaluating management strategies for shrimp fishing in the Gulf of California.
In Madrid, Spain, Laura Henson worked with UNESCO to build human and institutional capacity in Mozambique for access to genetic resources and Benefit Sharing negotiations.
In San José, Costa Rica, Nancy Olsen analyzed the seafood export market, with a focus on the seafood supply chain that extends to the U.S. She characterized the market and relevant regulations to recommend ways to improve compliance with U.S. and Costa Rican laws.
Nancy compiled a survey of seafood traceability and sustainability in the United States and generating a plan for a sustainable seafood traceability system in Costa Rica.
Tami Weiss worked with FishWise in Santa Cruz, California to document seafood traceability.
In Palau, Whitney Anderson conducted economic assessments for OneReef for conservation incentive agreements in neighboring islands. She also assisted communities with protection, conservation, and monitoring of local coral reefs.
At the Tobacco Caye Marine Station in Belize, Anja Mondragon enjoyed working on coral reef conservation and community development.
Anna Lui spent the early summer working in Washington DC on international development programs with the Development Project Management Institute, then traveled to Tobacco Caye, Belize, to work with Anja and Margaret.
In China, James Tsou-Wong worked with the Jane Goodall Institute Roots & Shoots wetland education program, designing the curriculum and teaching manual as well as leading classes in wetland education. James and others developed a grant proposal for an environmental education center.
Margaret Sands was in Belize, conducting interviews with fishermen and other stakeholders in the South Water Caye Marine Reserve, in order to identify sources of conflict that could impact the effectiveness of a Marine Protected Area.
In Washington DC, Sam Fielding worked on the Coastal Capital Initiative of the World Resources Institute, using previous valuations of coral reefs to develop a standardized framework for economic valuation of coastal resources.

Kos takes him down for 15 minutes. Diaz complains like it isn't his fault that he didn't stop the takedowns. A bunch of you guys call the wrestler a dry humper. I smile, and wait until Bendo does the same to nate (if that fight even happens after nick-Kos, I forget the dates and I'm not fully awake yet).
As far as Pierce goes, he is the most under rated fighter at 170. I think he deserves a fight with somebody like diaz, and I think he would win.

Many districts begin their online learning implementations by addressing a specific need and student population. Typically, this need is credit recovery, and online learning is a cost-effective solution to help students get back on track. As these programs demonstrate their value, district administrators roll out more and more online learning programs to address diverse student populations.
In this presentation, Mary Fluharty, Director of Online Learning at Alexandria City Schools, will discuss how her district has evolved its online programs over the past five years from credit recovery to a district-wide approach that includes blended learning, AP courses, summer school, and even a satellite campus exclusively for online learners.

The Mozambican government is pushing a bill that would criminalize text messages, emails and other types of online posts that are considered "insulting" or that "jeopardize the security of the state".
Approved by the Council of Ministers (the executive government of Mozambique made up of the president of the republic, the prime minister and all other ministers) on April 1, 2014, the bill will next be submitted to parliament. Minister of Science and Technology Louis Pelembe explained that the tough penalties proposed in the bill would ensure consumer protection and increase confidence in electronic transactions as a means of communication and provision of services.
Besides the provision on insulting content, the law would cover fraudulent access to the Internet, databases and financial transactions. Concerning the specific case of text messages, Pelembe pointed out that "in the very recent past" they have "created a lot of turmoil in our country".
He was referring to what became known as the "Bread Riots" - protests against the rising costs of bread, water and electricity that were organized via SMS in Maputo in September 2010. Following the protests, the government issued a ministerial ordinance that forced prepaid mobile phone users to register their SIM cards and identifying information with the two mobile telephone companies operating in the country at the time, amid other restrictions imposed on text message services. The law would fill the need to create a legal framework to regulate and discipline these kind of activities, according to Pelembe. If approved by the parliament, it would be the first of its kind in Mozambique.
Evidence of a surveillance state
In early 2014, the country's Criminal Investigation Police contacted President of the local Human Rights League Alice Mabota to clarify if she was the author of a call to protest that was circulating via text message. It read: Mozambican family, wake up!!! [President] Guebuza doesn't want to see us alive. We better finish with him before he does with us. We call for an immediate protest for him to leave power before it is too late. Collaborate on this effort by passing this message to others. This SMS is from Dr. Alice Mabota. When Alice Mabota left the police station, she told reporters: They only asked if I was the author of the message and I said I wasn't. I provided them with my three telephone numbers for them to investigate and see if the message was sent from any of them.
An extensive report on human rights in Mozambique recently published by the U.S. State Department points out that the Mozambican government has been phone tapping members of political parties and human rights activists without warrants.

Storage Solutions: Pencil Holders as Brush Holders
The Container Store's Pandan Pencil Holder ($12.99) are neat ways to store your makeup brushes, eyeliners, and lip liners. They keep everything upright and on display for easy access. Pencil holders, in general, are excellent as brush holders. I like these woven ones for something a little more elegant. I've also used wire/mesh holders in the past, too, which is a more industrial/office look.

High latitude landscapes are complex and their evolution over time is not well constrained. However, due to modern climate change and the warming of the Arctic, these lands are now the subject of management decisions regarding the future of development and resource extraction. Hence, the scientific understanding of these landscapes lags behind the need to make management decisions concerning them.
For my doctoral dissertation, I will utilize cosmogenic nuclides (10Be and 26Al) to constrain the evolution of high latitude landscapes preserved beneath cold-based, non-erosive glacial ice. Such ancient landscapes violate the assumptions of traditional cosmogenic exposure dating and require alternate approaches for extracting information about their development over long timescales. I will work in two areas in the Arctic (Thule, northwest Greenland and Baffin Island, Canada) to refine the approaches used for extracting information from landscapes preserved beneath non-erosive ice and will utilize cosmogenic nuclides to make inferences about long-term subglacial landscape evolution and glacial history.
In Thule, northwest Greenland, I will employ analysis of 10Be and 26Al in 28 glacially-deposited boulders. I seek to constrain the chronology of deglaciation, make inferences about long-term subglacial preservation of surfaces, and study the recycling of glacial sediments over numerous glacial-interglacial periods. In Baffin Island, Canada, I will employ analysis of 10Be and 26Al in 155 bedrock and boulder samples. I seek to use this large dataset to understand the large-scale trends of age and development on a landscape preserved beneath non-erosive glacial ice. As part of both projects, I will enhance the methods used to both prepare samples and numerically model possible exposure and burial

Chargers' next opponent: Inconsistent Broncos have been resilient
5:15 p.m. Sunday at Qualcomm Stadium
Coming off only their second losing season in 13 years under Mike Shanahan, the Broncos have been on a winding course throughout the 2008 campaign to become just the fifth NFL team since 1978 to lead its division from wire-to-wire. That hasn't changed. Yet.
Just about everything else has over the past two weeks, though, as the Broncos frittered away two-thirds of the three-game lead they held on San Diego two weeks ago. Only in the AFC West, too, could two teams wind up with 8-8 records after a game in which the winner goes to the playoffs as division champion.
Records and mutual dislikes aside, the Broncos were as down last Sunday as the Chargers were high, and the Bolts were 35,000 feet above the ground when learning of a Denver home loss to Buffalo that Shanahan said "disgusted" everybody in his locker room. Not exactly the frame of mind you want to set up what's essentially the division-championship game.
If anything, though, the Broncos have shown amazing resiliency and a tendency to come up with some fine performances at times and places when they were least expected. Now would be one of those.
1. Jay Cutler, QB. OK, so he's never been a big fan of Philip Rivers. Waah, waah, waah. It's a little late in the year for sticks and stones and all that. Cutler, along with his band of big and fast receivers, has been everything to the Broncos this season. You can't attribute any of those 4,210 passing yards to the altitude, either, and consider that John Elway never threw for that many in a season. (Incidentally, Cutler's unleashed 109 more passes this season than Rivers, who's thrown for eight more touchdowns.) Cutler's also capable of throwing a mean interception or two, too, though he often fires the ball so hard that neither intended target nor defensive back can catch it.
2. Brandon Marshall, WR. For 14 weeks now, members of the Chargers secondary should have had Marshall's picture taped to their lockers, a reminder of what it was like the dark day they were made to look totally invisible by a receiver. Eighteen of his 98 receptions this season were accomplished against the Chargers in that September game, the second-highest number of catches in a single game in NFL history. It does say something, though, that only one of those plays was for a touchdown. (He has six all season.) Also that Marshall, while quite worthy of his starting spot in the Pro Bowl, is among the NFL leaders in incomplete passes flung his way.
3. Eddie Royal, WR/KR. Marshall's usually the primary, secondary and tertiary target for Cutler, but it was Royal to whom the quarterback went for the touchdown and the game-winning catch of a two-point conversion that beat the Chargers. The speedy rookie has 80 receptions, five for touchdowns, and runs a wicked reverse play. His ability as a return man has him closing in on the team all-purpose yardage record set by Rick Upchurch in 1975.

For New Jersey Wrestling ? Jackson beats High Point and many other topics visit HSWrestling.net
Jackson, No. 3 in The Star-Ledger Top 20, answered its doubters by shocking No. 1 High Point, 31-28, Monday night in Jackson.
While the rest of the state was trying to figure out what happened to Jackson last week, coach Doug Withstandley brought his charges together in time to pull off the upset over High Point (17-2).
The match began ominously for High Point when Jackson sophomore Brian Hamann, ranked No. 6 in the state by The Star-Ledger at 119 pounds, pinned third-ranked Billy Hagany in 3:50. Hamann, trailing 2-1, hit a reversal with 18 seconds left in the second period and stacked Hagany for the shocking fall.
?When I got on top of him I was just thinking pin, pin, pin,? said Hamann. ?I knew it was a huge match and everyone stepped up after me.?
High Point coach John Gardner said, ?It was still early. We had time to recover.?
Jackson would split the 14 bouts evenly, 7-7, with High Point but its advantage in bonus points, 10-7, proved to be the difference, not to mention a few other huge bouts.
Match Results:
119* -* Brian Hamann (Jackson) def. William Hagany (High Point) ? Pin 3:50
125 ? Nick Francavilla (High Point) def. Mike Shupin (Jackson) ? Pin 1:57

PAUL: The main thing I've said is not to legalize them but not to incarcerate people for extended periods of time. With Senator Leahy, we have a bill on mandatory minimums. There are people in jail for 50 years for nonviolent crimes. And that's a huge mistake. Our prisons are full of nonviolent criminals. I don't want to encourage people to do it. Marijuana takes away your incentive to work. I don't want to promote that but I also don't want to put people in jail who make the mistake. There are a lot of young people who do this and then later on, they get married and they quit; I don't want to put them in jail and ruin their lives. The last two presidents could conceivably have been put in jail for their drug use, and it would have ruined their lives. They got lucky, but a lot of poor kids, particularly in the inner city, don't get lucky.
A: Yes, on gun control--Mitt is the odd man out from Gingrich, Paul, and Santorum calling for Second Amendment rights. Mitt does toe the conservative line on most crime issues, including capital punishment and mandatory sentencing--and on "Three Strikes", he's more of a hard-line conservative than Gingrich and Santorum! See the details on crime, gun control, and numerous other related issues in a side-by-side comparison:
Romney/Paul/Santorum/Gingrich side-by-side on Domestic Issues
A: We really don't have so much a crime problem in this country. We have a drug and alcohol problem. We've got to quit locking up all the people that we're mad at and lock up the people that we're really afraid of, the people who are sexual predators and violent offenders. But the nonsense of three strikes and you're out has created a system that is overrun with people, and the cost is choking us
Romney proposed "Melanie's Bill" to crack down on drunk drivers. The bill called for higher penalties and mandatory sentences for repeat offenders. It increased license suspensions for people who knowingly allowed someone to use an automobile if he or she had a suspended license from drunk driving. It required that cars from arrested drivers be impounded. Also, vehicles of repeat offenders had to be equipped with ignition interlock systems, which wouldn't allow cars to start unless the driver passed a Breathalyzer test.
Within a year of the new law, repeat offender arrests had been cut in half. The number of arrested drivers with prior drunken-driving convictions dropped 17%.
In the 1990s, the pendulum swung harshly back in the opposite direction and very popular policies such as "three strikes and you're out" and "no parole provisions" were adopted.
Being tough on crime is certainly more popular than being soft, but America needs to be careful that in our attempt to stoutly enforce our laws and protect our citizens, we do not end up with a system that is based more on revenge than restoration. A revenge-based criminal justice system seeks to measure out as harsh a judgement as is possible so as to satisfy the natural inclination to get even.
Last month, the New Mexico legislature approved five drug bills proposed by Republican Gov. Gary Johnson, an ardent supporter of decriminalizing drugs. Included in the package are measures that will allocate $6 million to expand treatment services, legal protections for syringe sales, and restoring voting rights for felons who have served their time. "The war on drugs is a miserable failure," Johnson said. "50% of the money for prisons and courts is spent on drugs. What we're doing isn't working."
Three Strikes would work fine if it put people away for three violent felonies. But it's a stupid waste of taxpayers' money otherwise. Plus, it causes a backup in our court system, because nobody who gets caught a third time wants to plead guilty and face certain life in prison. Legislators love tough-sounding programs like Three Strikes; unfortunately, it makes them look good at campaign time, but it causes us more problems afterwards.
Finally, possession or use of a machine gun or other destructive device during the commission of these crimes is punishable for no less than 30 years. Second time offenses are punishable by life in prison.
Fact: The proposed legislation provides prosecutors with the OPTION of taking a state gun crime to the federal courts--it doesn't require it. This provision gives overburdened state and local law enforcement access to tougher federal tools including mandatory sentences and a functioning prison system that guarantees truth-in-sentencing. America's worst violent criminals can be taken into the federal system, where they will be more likely to serve a full prison sentence and will be less likely to be released early, back onto the streets to commit more deadly crimes.
We need more police, we need more and tougher prison sentences for repeat offenders. The three strikes and you're out for violent offenders has to be part of the plan. We need more prisons to keep violent offenders for as long as it takes to keep them off the streets.
