Fibre cement base for hearth ?
Have an oven ready to go, pouring concrete in a couple of days and blocks on order. Just need some advice on the suspended slab please....
Will be building a bigger base than plans suggest and area under oven will be enclosed with open wood storage to the right hand side of the oven, under a food prep area.
Is it OK to use fibre cement board to make the base of the hearth form as I won't be able to remove the plywood (base enclosed) ? I'm thinking of using the cement board as I'm not sure whether leaving combustible formwork/ plywood enclosed under the oven is a good idea - although there would seem to be plenty of insulation etc between oven floor and wood ?
Also, with the longer dimension of my hearth being 2.4 metres, what can I do to stop the outside formwork bulging out and leaking concrete/ forming a curve when I pour the concrete ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Fibre cement base for hearth ?
in my experience with cement board, it's brittle and nowhere near as strong as plywood, but if you've got enough bracing under there it shouldn't matter what you use. That said, based on what I've read, a properly insulated cooking hearth wouldn't let anywhere near enough heat transfer to your bridge slab to have to worry about having plywood under there. Seems like I read a thread by someone who measured the temperature under the slab during/after an active cooking fire and it was not even 100F.
For your slab, you'll need to brace your form with angled "kickers" that are screwed to the form boards and angle down (or out) to whatever other available surface you have. In my case, that was the ground but ajacent walls work, too. Here's what mine looked like with the bracing placed. Note that you'll want to put a screw or two into the tops of those kickers to attach them to the form boards:
Re: Fibre cement base for hearth ?
Cement board has been used by many. Personally, I used HardiBacker. My hearth slab has been complete for 2 1/2 yrs and I believe the HardiBacker is permanently bonded to the support slab concrete. If I tap it with a log or hammer, it sounds very solid with no hollow sounding spots from a lack of adhesion.
Brace it like the above photo and you will be good to go.
Re: Fibre cement base for hearth ?
I used cement board cut to sit just inside the holes of the concrete blocks, braced in the middle. Because I divided the stand in half with concrete block down the middle making two small wood storage areas instead of one larger one, I was able to cover each wood storage area with a single sheet of concrete board. It worked just fine and was a lot easier than framing plywood. At some point I'll get around to posting pictures.
Re: Fibre cement base for hearth ?
Thanks for the great advice - the picture was just what I needed to show how to brace the top formwork - feeling a lot more confident now.
Think I'll go with the fibre cement board spanning the blockwork as I was aiming for a qucik solution without having to put together a lot of form that wouldn't be able to be removed.
Also like the idea (from the pic) of leaving some rebar proud of the blockwork to lock the hearth into.
Had the concrete down in a couple of hours and blockwork dry stacked the next day. Just waiting for the loan of a mixer to core fill and then (based on replies) forming up the hearth.
Found that time taken to get the concrete exactly level made stacking blocks a breeze.
Re: Fibre cement base for hearth ?
Why oh why do you guys in the US build your oven bases as though you were expecting it to hold up a structure as big as the Empire State Building? Why all the rebar in your slabs, and massive concrete blocks also filled with rebar and concrete? An insulating hearth of a 5:1 vermiculite/cement mix ain't all that heavy. Neither is a dome structure and cooking floor built out of a couple of hundred firebricks. Over-engineering? You bet!
The photo shows the start of my oven. The stand is out of 4" concrete blocks and hearth support out of 2" thick paving slabs. The insulating base is 6" of vermiculite/perlite cement. Not a hint of rebar, angle iron or Hardibacker or anything else you guys use. It's withstood a good shaking from severe earth tremors on a couple of occasions so there's not much wrong with it!
Re: Fibre cement base for hearth ?
I'm not going to argue that the by the book block and hearth stand isn't ridiculously overbuilt, but I think it's a fairly cheap and easy means to making sure everything stays where it's supposed to over the long term. Certainly a structural engineer could provide better commentary on this than I, but...
I'm sure your stand is adequate, and I might even be fine with a 3 or 4" (poured) slab supporting my oven if it had rebar and mesh in it with that center support you've got, but that's as far as I'd go.
The functional strength of concrete is almost exclusively in compression. IT HAS VIRTUALLY NO TENSILE STRENGTH or ability to flex, hence the need for rebar. Reinforced concrete is an amazing thing. Unreinforced concrete is brittle and surprisingly weak under anything other than evenly applied compressive force.
In a rebar reinforced slab, a crack is nothing more than a cosmetic issue. Without rebar, a cracked slab is structural problem that will eventually get worse and/or cause the slab to fail.
Eventually, your slab and mine will crack. All concrete does to one degree or another. I'm happy with knowing the rebar I've got in mine will keep everything structurally sound and all the hard work that sits above it will stay in one piece over the long term.
Lets compare notes in 10 or 20 years, shall we?
Re: Fibre cement base for hearth ?
Well said splatgirl.
Not wanting to start a major argument, I would just like to add that there are several variables here. Nev, in your case (and maybe many others), what you have done may be more than is necessary, BUT, many builders have built pretty massive structures of stone and brick around their ovens, to say an oven is relatively light above the hearth slab is a generalization that could not be further from the truth in many cases. In my case, I am certain my stand is overkill.....I have a 36" igloo finished with mosaic tile. Not heavy by brick oven standards, maybe 1500 lbs. sitting on the hearth slab.
Build a house type enclosure and chimney out of stone/brick and you could easily top 5000 lbs. I think most of us have built our ovens to stand the test of time, and stay structually sound for decades (or centuries). I think the Pompeii plans are MEANT to be overkill, taking into account the different materials and weights involved.
Lets not forget we are trying to recommend a building method that will withstand - weather (frost heave), soil movement (a lot of that in FL, you can't pour a concrete slab here, even rebar/fiber reinforced, that won't get multiple cracks), and seismic activity (as you have experienced).
I too, would like to have this dialog again in 10 or 20 years and compare the structure and stability of our ovens......WE ALL may be way off base in our thinking.
Re: Fibre cement base for hearth ?
Coming from Queensland Australia, lots of houses, sheds, walls etc are built from 8" blocks, so I chose the material easiest to get hold of. I notice that you have used what looks like breeze blocks (I'm an ex pom). I don't think they would stack like the besser blocks I have used.
The main appeal to me was that I can't lay blocks, so avoiding mortar was good, and the large size means I can get the required height easily and they are very stable. It's common practice to core fill in Aus, even when using mortar, and you may as well slip some rebar in for a little extra cost.
I thought of using precast concrete pavers/ slabs (easiest option), but given the size of my structure I would have needed extra central block supports and would have had to cut pavers. Casting a suspended slab is the easiest, and most cost effective way for me - concrete is cheap.
As pointed out, my structure will be over engineered, but the real cost is in the price of my oven (pre cast refractory kit), so the last thing I wanted was to damage that through lack of a strong enough base.
In the end I guess it comes down to the cheapest/ easiest solution for me and big blocks plus concrete slab seemed the way to go.
Re: Fibre cement base for hearth ?
One last thought
Nev, really my only concern for you is the use of the 2" non-reinforced paver slabs. Just my opinion, but I think any more tremors could spell trouble (I hope I'm wrong).
I think the 4" blocks are more than enough support and really helps to open things up below. I wish I had the access and space.

08 Dec - Port Lockroy and Rothera

Cracking tales from Rothera
This week is what steaming around in the Antarctic is all about. Icebergs, whales, penguins, blue skies, ice breaking, bases, albatross, fly-pasts, seals, skiing and snow boarding (sounds like a jolly! Ed). We have been very lucky this week with the ice conditions and made good time through the pack on the way down the Antarctic Peninsula. Weeks like this are the reason why I wanted to come down to Antarctica.
We started the week loaded down with cargo and FIDs heading for Port Lockroy. The Drake Passage (allegedly the roughest bit of sea in the world) was very mild with a light swell but a few of the FIDs suffered a bit and couldn't enjoy the wonderful display of albatross that we were privileged to see. Around 15 light-mantled sooty albatross appeared out of the mist and effortlessly cruised around the ship for a few hours. The wind was light and so they were using the updrafts coming off the ship for flying on. It meant that they gracefully glided past the bridge wings and posed for photographs in the evening light. It is impossible to capture on film the elegance of these huge birds as they swoop over the wave crests then rise and soar past the ship in a mesmeric display of aerobatics. The poor little cape pigeons try and keep up with their neighbours but quickly get left behind. Sooty albatross are relatively uncommon and are losing large numbers to long-line fishing so we were very lucky to see them.

Port Lockroy
First call this week was Port Lockroy. On Tuesday morning we arrived early on a stunning day after a passage through the small islands on the west side of the Antarctic Peninsula. The base has been closed over the winter and we were putting 3 FIDs ashore to open up the base. They will stay there for the summer season to maintain the base, perform some science work and also entertain the 10,000 or so tourists who visit the base each year!! Port Lockroy is an Antarctic Heritage Site and, being in a particularly beautiful and accessible spot, the many tourist ships that visit this part of the world go in to show everyone what it used to be like in the 'good old days'. Three inflatables ferried the cargo ashore from where it was carried up to the base. The old wooden base is surrounded by a gentoo penguin colony and so we had to be careful where we put our feet down; it gave the place an aroma that was certainly anything but pleasant. At the moment the penguins are incubating eggs on little piles of rocks. Once the cargo was all safely stowed away and those lucky enough to go ashore had a quick look round we zoomed back to the JCR, looking magnificent with the mountains behind, and waved goodbye to the base. They were not going to be alone for very long as the first cruise ship was due in that afternoon!

Cracking south
Following our brief call into Port Lockroy we kept heading south and onwards through the ice to Rothera. Everyone was a bit worried about the state of the ice. The Captain was concerned it might be too thick and it would take a long time to get to Rothera. The FIDs were worried it might be too thin as they all wanted to be 'Antarctic heroes' and get stuck in the ice. Also a sweepstake was run to guess our eventual arrival time and date into Rothera so we were all secretly praying for our own estimated time so we could retire on our winnings! (You wish - Ed). However despite all the discussions the ice floes were mainly light and we could keep up good progress through the pack. A favourable easterly wind was blowing the pack out to sea, easing the pressure and allowing the JCR to push through. It was beautiful weather as we sailed along with the peninsula visible to our port side most of the way providing spectacular views. The calm provided by the pack ice gave some time for a bit of exercise whilst watching the icebergs float by (and top up the remains of the Montevideo tan - Ed). The bridge computer started to tell us that the 'sun will never set' and we began to enjoy 24 hour daylight with the sun just dipping down to the horizon before rising again. It is very easy to stay up far too late when it never goes dark outside!

Rothera 1st call
As the JCR neared Rothera one of the returning Twin Otters and the Dash-7 aircraft gave the ship a fly past to say Hi. Predictably the cameras rolled and the share price of Fuji went up a bit more!
Above: Left to right - a twin otter gives us a fly-by, the Dash-7 coming into land and the Captain says "Hi!" Click the images to enlarge them.
It was great to be welcomed in a such a way. Finding fast ice in the bay beside Rothera we returned the favour by giving an ice breaking demonstration to the watching base as we cracked our way up to the jetty and slowly cleared it of ice. Once we had nudged all the ice out of the way with the bow and had tied up it was Thursday morning. All the FIDs were again press-ganged into helping to unlash all the cargo on deck and lift it off the ship to the awaiting collection of Tonka toys that drive around the base. It reminded me of a scene from Mad Max! It was a beautiful day and we watched the Dash-7 nipping past the bow to land several times. Friday was another full day of cargo and No 2 hold was finally cleared during a blizzard.
Above: Left to right - cargo work, new bits for the Bonner Lab rebuild and an almost empty hold. Click the images to enlarge them.
We discharged 2000m³ (700 tons) of cargo and 450m³ (400 tons) of fuel and with only a small amount of cargo from No1 hold left the base laid on an evening of skiing for the crew. 8 of the crew were given a lift up to the ski slope about 4 km away from Rothera in a Snocat or dragged behind a skidoo for an evening of snow boarding, sledging and skiing. The prize for best skier must go to Kevin Holmes. Having never skied before, Kev would cheerfully launch himself from the top of the slope and somehow get down to the bottom, usually on one ski. The man knows no fear! It was great fun and nice to be off the ship for a few hours. Thanks to all GA's who gave us such a good night.
By Saturday morning we had finally discharged everything and said our goodbyes all the FIDs. Most are only staying for the summer season to help with the rebuilding of the Bonner lab but some are down here for 2½ years. Good luck to them all especially our resident chippy, Matt, who has been with us since we picked him up from Bird Island.
Rothera is certainly an amazing place and we were sad to leave. We will be back there again shortly with more cargo but we all need a rest after several very long and hectic days (and that's just the ships camera! - Ed). Phew.
A cadets favourite position?

Thankyou this week: to all the FIDs who gave great help with the cargo and the Rothera GAs for a evening of skiing.
Coming up next week: Stanley and more cargo.
PS....due to such a busy week the concluding part of the James Clark Ross mini biography will be published next week.
PPS....the term FIDs is an old term for BAS employees derived from the title 'Falkland Islands Dependency Survey', the old incarnation of BAS. It generally denotes any one onboard employed by BAS but not a member of the ships crew. Sorry for any confusion.

THE European Commission has unveiled plans to create a digital library of Europe's manuscripts, books, photos and sheet music.
Under the proposal, European libraries, archives and museums will digitise some of their collections and make them accessible online.
The proposal mirrors plans by Google and Yahoo to create their own digital libraries. Last week Yahoo announced that it would help digitise 18,000 works of American literature, alongside content from other national archives, as part of the Open Content Alliance, which also includes Hewlett-Packard.
Google plans to digitise content from university libraries such as those of Harvard, Stanford and Oxford.
The commission is conducting an online consultation on its plans, due to end on 20 January 2006.

Sevier County Missions collects items for tornado victims
Sevier County Missions, in conjunction with other area churches, is collecting items to benefit tornado victims in Moore, Okla.
The church held designated collection days on Saturday and Memorial Day at its offices, 315 Court Ave. near Carl Hatcher Furniture. It will continue collecting items through Friday.
"One of our youth said, 'What are we going to do for Oklahoma?' So we started a collection to send," said Pastor Sam Steele with Sevier County Missions.
By noon on Monday, the church had collected boxes of clothing, shoes, water, nonperishable food, diapers, baby formula and other items.
"We really majorly need diapers and food, and as far as clothing, mostly we want children's and youth clothing," Steele said. "And closed shoes, like tennis shoes or lightweight boots. We don't want sandals because of all the debris."
The items will be transported via truck by Rescue America Baptist Missions.
"We would like to fill a 53-foot trailer with assorted items, so that could possibly be 40,000 pounds of food, water, clothing and other items," Steele said.
The last collection day will be Friday, and Steele said the truck may arrive in Oklahoma by June 2.
Although there are no more designated collection days, Steele said the group will set up a pick-up or drop-off time with anyone who still wants to donate.
To make arrangements to donate items, contact Pastor Steele at 306-3359.

First, let us understand that banks create debt, not theirs but yours and mine.
As anyone who knows me can attest, I know very little about investing and making money. My wallet is black and blue all over from the beatings I have endured. Since I have absolutely nothing more to lose, I can safely discuss this subject.
While in high school, I had a part-time job as a stock boy at a local men's clothing store. One of the owners, Bernie Shenkman, who traded in the stock market, announced sadly one morning, "I've got the shorts." I thought he was talking about the underwear department and sought an explanation. He then attempted to explain "puts and calls" and how, by buying a stock "short," one could make money when the stock price went DOWN. This information was completely foreign to my understanding and was therefore rejected out of hand. Bernie had one saying that has stayed with me over the years: "Money is like blood. It's no good to anybody unless it's circulating."
At this point, I am reminded of another related story involving a cord of wood. Some years ago, I needed some firewood and responded to an ad I saw in the "Penny Saver" for delivery of a "cord" of wood for $35.00. I called the South Bristol woodsman and set up an appointment for delivery. He arrived with his burly helpers and unloaded the sticks. When finished, I examined the pile, determined it was only half a cord, two by four by eight, and registered my complaint with the tradesman. He told me it was a "face cord" which was a common term in the business. I replied that I would pay him with a "face check." The entrepreneur and his three husky helpers were not amused. I got a short load and was required to pay the full amount, which brings us to banks, money creation and the debt crisis.
First, let us understand that banks create debt, not theirs but yours and mine. Believe it or not, this is how it works. Let's say you go to the bank and borrow some money to buy a house. You sign an IOU to the bank and put the house up as collateral. The bank deposits money into your account and you buy the house. Now here is the rub. Where did that money come from? It came out of thin air. Oh yes, it did. The bank is allowed by law to loan you money it doesn't have. They can loan nine dollars for every one it has on deposit. Now the seller of the house puts the money in the bank, allowing for another nine-to-one split and away we go again. Failing a better term, let's call it fake money.
Now don't get me wrong. The ability of banks to create fake money is generally a good thing. It provides the means whereby the economy can expand and grow. New homes, buildings and factories, more productive machines and equipment, and greater employment opportunities are a few of the benefits. However, like too many huge whipped-cream covered hot fudge sundaes, excessive lending of tons of fake money can be too much of a good thing and bodes dangerous and unwanted results called balloons. This is exactly what happened in 2008 and years preceding. Too much fake money being loaned to too many folks who couldn't afford to repay it. So banks create fake money, loan it out, and then have the gall to insist on being paid back in real money. When you fail to do that, they take your real house and you wind up on a real street corner, sitting on your real keester, awaiting the oncoming real cold weather.
Page 2 of 2 - Since the debt was largely created with fake money, let's pay them back with fake money and let the devil take the hindmost. A little inflation would help. Borrow fake money and pay it back in fake money.

Charles Simonyi launch tour
My friend and Powerset Investor Esther Dyson has some nice photos of Charles Simonyi's launch tour and space launch in Russia.
Esther writes:
I have to say that watching the launch was an AMAZING experience. Perhaps the whole tour was really a marketing exercise designed to get us all to want to head upwards too. And in fact, Charles watched the launch of Greg Olsen, the third private space traveler (Charles is fifth). I'd bet that among us already there are one or two who are now planning to go – not just dreaming about it.
More at
… and here at Flickr, too, where I will have photos from Mission Control of the docking in about 36 hours.
This makes me nostalgic for my days at NASA. Especially seeing the photo of Charles in the spacesuit and the complex procedures they had to learn. (Here is more info about the CLARISSA spoken dialog system we flew onboard ISS).

Magic Wallpaper
I just learned about the MagicBoard.
The MagicBoard project aims at augmenting a perfectly ordinary whiteboard-like surface with electronic capabilities, via a video projector and a pan / tilt / zoom camera.
The user works on the board as in the usual way, drawing or writing with ordinary marker pens. Whenever she chooses, the user can "grab" an electronic copy of the things that have been drawn or written with the marker pen. This copy is projected back onto the board, precisely overlaying the original markings with the appropriate colour. The physical ink may then be erased and the electronic version manipulated on the board's surface: it can be duplicated, moved, enlarged or reduced, printed, or hidden for a moment before being recalled. Meanwhile, the user may add to her designs with the marker pen as before. At any time, these new markings can be turned into digital form to merge with the electronic version of her work.

Present Life of Mars, but will NASA keep the lights on?
Space.com jumped the gun with an article with the headline: NASA researchers claim evidence of present life on Mars. The intro is below:
A pair of NASA scientists told a group of space officials at a private meeting here Sunday that they have found strong evidence that life may exist today on Mars, hidden away in caves and sustained by pockets of water.
The scientists, Carol Stoker and Larry Lemke of NASA's Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, told the group that they have submitted their findings to the journal Nature for publication in May, and their paper currently is being peer reviewed.
What Stoker and Lemke have found, according to several attendees of the private meeting, is not direct proof of life on Mars, but methane signatures and other signs of possible biological activity remarkably similar to those recently discovered in caves here on Earth.

If your HPDE experience has you spending more time on the track than on the street, the Aggressor II Package is the solution.
The PFADT Aggressor II Package Includes:
Our PFADT Adjustable Coil Over and Racing Sway Bar systems increase the overall spring rate of your vehicle without compromising ride quality when you're not at the track. When upgrading any suspension set up, the most important result is that the shocks and sways work well together out of the box AND provide the driver with basic tuning tools to dial in the perfect set up for the car.
Our Coil Over and Sway Bar combination work amazingly well to keep maximum tire contact with the track. The coil overs increase the overall spring rate of the car without making the damping harsh. We supply recommended starting points that offer a well balanced, well engineered setup that we actually run on our own cars. It's the best of both worlds on and off the track! Our Heavy Rate Racing Sway Bars provide superior anti-roll stiffness and are a crucial tuning tool. We recommend starting with our settings and following our basic guidelines if you decide to make changes.
The Aggressor II Package is ideal for the track day car that sees more track days than street driving. If the adjustability intimidates you it's only because it's something new for you - not because it's actually hard to do. Moreover, if you don't want to adjust them, you don't have to. This package is designed to bolt on and trim seconds from your lap times!
Our Pillow Blocks were designed specifically for our sway bars and use an aluminum housing with a delrin-type solid bushing. This package eliminates the polyurethane bushings and provides the ultimate in removing compliance from the system. Each nylon bushing fits firmly into the lightweight aluminum housing for a strong low-friction pivot.
The next upgrade is the Polyurethane Control Arm bushing kit. If your car still has the factory rubber bushings, you're losing valuable control due to the flex of the soft rubber bushings installed at the factory. Our poly kit will make your car respond to turns like the super car that it is! The factory bushings are known to deflect more than a ¼ inch in turns which equates to almost 1 degree of lost camber. With our poly bushings that deflection is gone and you'll make the most of your alignment. Our poly bushings are graphite impregnated for long life and low friction. They are engineered with special grooves to maintain lubricant on the bearing surface, keeping the noise away. We include lots of lube specific to our polyurethane. In addition, we've engineered custom aluminum sleeves for light weight, low friction operation. The front upper pivots are machined with an offset to offer maximum camber adjustment.
The final step in your upgrade is the PFADT Camber Kit. You'll spend a lot of money getting a performance alignment done on your car - don't let that setting change just because you hit a pot hole, drop two wheels off the track or bang into some FIA curbing! It's a known issue that the factory eccentrics are prone to slipping. Our camber kit allows you to achieve the maximum negative camber and eliminates the eccentrics so that the the settings don't slip. You'll be able to get more negative camber with our kit than is possible with the stock set up.
Take advantage of the Package savings and get a great suspension set up from PFADT!

Jean Baptiste Hakizimana could not hide his frustration after a wobbly five-over-par 76 in what was a bogey-filled final round of the Burundi Golf Open in Bujumbura yesterday.
The golfer who is usually excited about playing on the Par-71 Bujumbura Golf Course was short of answers this time round after carding an overall 292 (8-over-par) in the four-day event which attracted 25 professionals from Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi.
Hakizimana started the final round just three shots over par and four behind overall leader Dismas Indiza of Kenya but three bogeys on the front nine coupled with a triple bogey on the back nine could only warrant a 5th spot finish.
After the final round, he was quick to blame the inconsistent greens.
"It's clear from the scores that it was not an easy course on play on. I struggled with the pace of the greens. It was difficult to putt because some of the greens were holding while others were not," he noted.
The low point of his final round came on the par-4 12th when he hurled his club in despair following a poor provisional shot, which came after he had just sent his second out of bounds on his way to triple bogey.
"It's pretty disappointing," Hakizimana conceded.
Despite carding 75 in the final round, Indiza held on to win the tournament by three shots. His Kenyan counterpart Sullivan Muthugia claimed second place (289) and was followed by Uganda's Deo Akope in third place (290).
Hakizimana pocketed $900 for his effort.

From the album 'PATH OF TOTALITY'. My wall is the song that I connect with the most. It expresses bullying and how it can bring our self esteam,break our conifdance and so on. It also expresses aways to deal with it. My Wall I believe it stands for A protection Sheild but than others try to break your wall down all because their having a bad day and figures that you should be having a bad with them,they think thats it not fair if others are having a pretty good and their not. Last time I checked we all can be happy,sad,mad and angry, but there's no excuse for taking it out on others.
My Wall tells me to be myself no matter what and if someone trys to take my joy away, don't say anything and walk away and cry when you are alone so they cant ues your pain against you, PROTECT YOUR WALL

I'm looking to meet a nice guy to spend time with - and who knows? We'll see how things go from there :)
I'm kind of shy, but once I get to know someone I really open up. I'm close to my family, and would love to find someone who is also close to his. I have a few close friends rather than many acquaintances. I like to go out and socialize, I also like going to see movies, going out to eat, hiking, traveling, watching sports, esp.football! I am not looking for a "booty call" so if that is your game, then keep looking. If you are looking to find a meaningful relationship built on freindship, trust and mutual respect, then definitely write and lets see where it goes. As I said before, I am very much into family so you must be as well. I belive in treating others as I would want to be treated and am looking for the same in a man.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Exploring new areas , Religion/Spiritual , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Auto racing / Motorcross, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Football, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Cats
I like Dogs
Middle of the Road
I just moved to Puyallup and am slowly learning all of the great places around here. I have lived in the Tacoma area for about twelve years, though. I love living here! Downtown Tacoma has some great places to eat. Love the waterfront too.
The George Washington University, Washington, DC
I love most types of music. The last concert I went to was Kenny Chesney. Love Kenny! Rock, country, I like it all. Not really a rap fan, though. I like Game of Thrones, True Blood, Amercian Horror Story....I try to be open to anything new ;)
I love going to baseball games, went to a few Mariner's games this year, and am super excited for football season to start. Go Seahawks!!! :) I like to watch movies, either at the theater or curled up on the couch at home. Also love traveling :)
The last book I read was Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. Good book! Second book in the Hunger Games trilogy. I got my brother to start reading the first book, so far he recommends it!

SEL-xxx and Hashed Files
Virtual Machine
For hashed files, mechanisms exist to process multiple items sequentially, either by selecting/sorting a set of items according to specified criteria or by loading a preselected list of item-IDs.
PROIV does not support list handling. A sort/select can, however, be performed by a PROIV Paging Cycle if required, although there is performance degradation compared with the native Reality sort/select. For hashed files, the only SEL-xxx statement that is meaningful is SEL-PARTIAL used as follows:
first-key-element = ''
Other SEL-xxx statements result in the following error message:
191 - Cannot Restrict Key Values Using Sel-xxx For Reality File - filename

The heat this summer has really been lacking. Fresh off a start to July that was rather lackluster when it comes to heat with only three days at or above normal temperature-wise, today we made it the warmest day of summer. And still, we're yet to reach 90° at the Rochester International Airport.
We've had a few afternoons that have rivaled air temperatures observed today. Several locations made it to 88, even that seemingly elusive 90 mark was reached in a handful of communities. 86° in Rochester, the official climate station for SE Minnesota, matched the previous (and still current) high mark for the year that occurred back on May 30th.
Today we had our first real taste of humidity for the season. Peak heat indices from across the area were commonly pegging 95-99° thanks to dew points elevating well into the 70s today. The last time the area had comparable feels-like temperatures was back on September 9th of last year.

Try using HBC To install cios38.
Why don't use Homebrew Channel instead of LoadMii?
Try using HBC To install cios38.
Last edited by becksterorange; 10-13-2010 at 04:09 PM.
Wii 4.1U - cIOS38 rev17 - 500gbHDD - Wiiflow 2.1 - uLoader 5.1 - Wimc 1.0.9 - Priiloader 0.5 - boot2 - gamecube launcher 2.0 - cMIOS rev3
It looks to me like you might of installed cioscorp/darkcorp at least once.
These programs must be uninstalled in a particular manner, no doing so could brick your wii.
And yeah, use homebrew channel, and the cios249 rev17 installer. Dont just use wads.
Honestly... I'm not sure how to use HBC to run cios249 installer.. My HBC is just the one showing Demos, Emulators, Games, and Utilities. It doesnt list the things I put on my SD card. My old HBC was like that.. And yes, I installed cIOScorp/DarkCorp before..
In my experience, Loadmii doesn't always work well with installers. This question sounds kinda wierd, but how are you loading Loadmii? Is it through the Homebrew Channel?
"Macs are the Perfect Computers," said the Perfect Idiot.
I would suggest simply going through the 4.2 guide in my signature again. After you're done with that you'll be completely up to date with cios38rev17 installed. I also noticed that your ios36 isn't patched so that might have something to do with the walls you're running into.
I guess it is HBB not HBC... I don't seem to have an HBC (I run HBB through LoadMii)...
Loadmii is run off the SD Card
I'll try the 4.2 guide and see what happens..
"Macs are the Perfect Computers," said the Perfect Idiot.
I put the SD card in my Wii, turn it on, the little SD card icon is lit up so I click it, it asks me if I want to load boot.dol/elf, I click Yes, LoadMii boots..
I tried the 4.2 guide, and I do now have HBC 1.0.5, which is cool.. No more LoadMii (formatted card), so that's irrelevant now I guess..
Went through the whole install, ran cIOS38 rev 14, all that..
NeoGamma through the HBC channel finally worked!! No error #002.. That is awesome..
Thanks for all the help guys!! Saved me a LOT of trouble I'm sure
One last thing, I got HBC 1.0.5, when I try to download 1.0.8 update it doesn't let me.
Not sure if its worth upgrading, but I assume I can just copy the files from HackMii Installer v0.8 onto the SD card and update it through that? No network install needed since that failed?

NEW YORK (AVAFIN) -- During the last trading session, a new 90-day call record for traded contracts was established.
There were 0.8 calls traded for every put contract yielding a 1.29 put/call ratio.
View Options Trading ActivitiesUnusual volume provides reliable clues that the stock is expected to make a move. Investors
can use the put/call ratio statistics to measure trader sentiment. A high put/call ratio
suggests that the overall investment sentiment is bearish and that investors expect the
underlying stock to decrease in value. Conversely, a low put/call ratio implies that
investor sentiment is bullish based on the large amount of call options.
After a more than fivefold increase in Starwood's stock price since early 2009, a lodging recovery is fully priced into the stock, and shares are fairly valued.
Additionaly, Starwood's timeshare division is an unattractive business relative to its managed and franchised hotel operations. The timeshare industry is mature, cyclical, capital-intensive, and generates relatively low returns. Starwood shareholders would benefit from a sale or spin-off of the division.
The last trading session witnessed a low of $55.72 and high of $56.64 during the day. Shares of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide
slipped $0.02 (0.04%) to $56.39. The current trading volume of 3M is greater
than average volume of 2M shares. The stock's 52 week low is $35.78 and 52 week high is $61.70. To date, the stock has lost -4.15% within the last week.

Bill Gates, Jay-Z, other celebrities also received D.C. Police escorts
Updated: May 19, 2011 - 01:04 pm
The escort of Gates, the wealthy businessman and philanthropist, was provided on Nov. 8, 2010 from the city Convention Center to Dulles at a total cost of $445.68, according to an invoice provided to the AP. A Gates spokeswoman said she had no immediate information on the escort.
The escort of rapper Jay-Z began on March 3, 2010, originating at Dulles and lasting from 3 p.m. to 1 a.m. the next day at a cost of $1,114.20. It's not clear from the invoice where Jay-Z went in D.C, and a publicist for him had no immediate information on it.
D.C. Council member Phil Mendelson, whose committee has oversight of the police department, said he was considering asking for a hearing to hash out the conflicting reports from the agency.
"Most troubling is (the) lack of a consistent story," Mendelson said. "How many conflicting explanations have we gotten from officials regarding what is the truth?"

2 cups
sliced cooked turkey

carrot, shredded
zucchini, sliced and julienned
1 small
onion, chopped
2 tablespoons
plain yogurt
1 teaspoon
Dijon-style prepared mustard
1 teaspoon
soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon
white sugar
1 small head
iceberg lettuce, shredded
1 tablespoon
toasted sesame seeds
Not happy with this salad at all. Dressing was too mustardy, and the sweetness from the sugar made it taste weird. I used red onion instead of regular onion (I prefer it for salads). I won't be making this again.
We enjoyed this, it provided a great way to use the veggies from our CSA box. I omitted the sugar, and added a little cumin. Try it over spinach, or with wild rice. Also great because it really doesn't have anything in it that isn't nutritious; who can beat a dressing made from yogurt?

This is Halloween like you've never seen or heard it before!
|25 years ago, director John Carpenter changed the shape of terror forever with the immortal story of babysitter Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence) and the night that Michael Myers came home. Roger Ebert still proclaims it "superb." Entertainment Weekly calls it "the granddaddy of teen-slasher flicks, still more primal and frightening than any of the gazillion knock-offs." 25 years later, Halloween remains one of the greatest horror movies ever made.
For this landmark 25th Anniversary Edition, Anchor Bay has created a stunning new high-definition widescreen transfer of the classic film, plus an unprecedented collection of bonus features that will surprise even the most hardcore fans. Celebrate this remarkable milestone in horror history with the ultimate two-disc edition of Halloween like you've truly never seen or heard it before!
Includes a 16-Page Collector's Booklet.
This DVD has been mastered with DiViMax--a High Definition (HD) film transfer process that provides state-of-the-art picture quality--and can be viewed on any home entertainment system.
"Halloween is an absolutely merciless thriller... I would compare it to Psycho. Roger Ebert
Editor's NotePerhaps the most influential and successful independent film ever made, HALLOWEEN is the movie that put director John Carpenter on the map as a viable filmmaker. An exercise in simple, pure horror, HALLOWEEN takes us into the world of a mad killer, Michael Myers, who at a very young age stabbed his older sister to death. Locked away for many years in a mental hospital Michael escapes one night and returns to his hometown to continue his killing spree. Jamie Lee Curtis, in her first role, plays the resourceful babysitter who is chased by the killer on Halloween night. Produced for very little money and a tight shooting schedule, HALLOWEEN was a stunning success when it was released. Written by John Carpenter and his longtime producer Debra Hill, the film set their careers on fire, with both of them working together many times over the next 25 years. The film also made a star out of Jamie Lee Curtis and turned the slasher movie into a viable, successful genre. HALLOWEEN has been copied, parodied and even turned into a franchise of its own, but the original is still considered the best of the bunch. HALLOWEEN was John Carpenter's first foray into horror, and remains the standard to which all other modern horror films are measured.

Halloween - DVD Review
By: Norm Schrager filmcritic.com DVD Reviews
Published on: 8/3/2007 7:49 PM
|Considered by many to be a modern horror classic, Halloween succeeds through simplicity. This thriller -- a veritable kickoff for 25-plus years of slasher films -- works because director John Carpenter keeps the story neat and the presentation basic. It's an approach that gives Halloween an easy, no-frills realism, and a likable indie style that shines through even today. Carpenter and co-writer/producer Debra Hill turn a few suburban streets into a house of horrors for some unsuspecting teenagers -- with no special effects and very few cheap thrills....read the full review

Plot SummaryThe film which ushered in the modern age of horror stands well above its many sequels and clones because John Carpenter's taut direction makes it truly scary. Jamie Lee Curtis, in her debut role, plays a babysitter who must protect herself from the deadly Michael Myers, a mental institution escapee who killed his sister on Halloween fifteen years earlier. Called "the most successful independent motion picture of all time," HALLOWEEN is also one of most frightening films ever made.

Intel fights back with high-end Xeon
- Related Stories
Sun recoups server market shareAugust 22, 2006
Intel readies 'Tulsa' Xeon debutAugust 22, 2006
Intel pushes back Itanium chips, revamps XeonOctober 24, 2005
The new dual-core chip, designed for four-processor systems and officially called the Xeon 7100 series, has a price ranging from $856 for a 7110 model with 4MB of high-speed cache memory and a 2.6GHz clock speed to $1,980 for a 7140 model with 16MB of cache and 3.4GHz speed.
Last week, Intel said Tulsa boosts performance about 70 percent compared with its predecessor, "Paxville," but now the chipmaker is trying to steer attention toward a comparison with AMD's Opteron. Tulsa systems are 17 percent faster than Opteron machines on business database tasks and 42 percent faster on Java server tasks, Intel said.
AMD entered the x86 server market three years ago, and the competition has been fierce since. All four major server makers sell or will sell Opteron servers, and AMD has risen to claim 26 percent of the server processor market. Intel is fighting back with its "Woodcrest" Xeon for dual-processor servers and now with Tulsa for higher-end models.
"The 7100 really brings us up back to where want to be in terms of maximum performance," said Tom Kilroy, general manager of Intel's Digital Enterprise Group.
Tulsa is the last model to use Intel's all-but-extinct NetBurst architecture, which Kilroy acknowledged is "long in the tooth." But Tulsa still is a compelling design, he argued. "The 16MB of L3 (level-three) cache really helps position it for superior performance."
Cache is king
Indeed, cache is at the heart of the AMD-Intel rivalry. AMD's Opteron includes a built-in memory controller, while Intel systems require a separate chip that takes longer to fetch data. But including a large cache means that data is more likely to be readily at hand, so the memory controller isn't needed at all, Intel argues.
Intel's 65-nanometer process means more circuitry can be squeezed into a given surface area than with the 90-nanometer process AMD still uses. And even using the same process, Intel cache elements are smaller, said Pat Gelsinger, who co-manages the Digital Enterprise Group with Kilroy.
"My cache cells are about half the size. I got cache to burn," Gelsinger said in an earlier interview.
Tulsa also is the first Xeon to include "Pellston," officially called Intel Cache Safe Technology, which shuts off cache elements if errors are detected. Such reliability features are important in higher-end servers, Kilroy said.
But cache isn't free. It takes up real estate, increases manufacturing costs and makes a chip run hotter. The top-end Tulsa with 16MB of cache draws 150 watts of power running flat out, though slower models with 4MB cache consume only 95 watts.
AMD was quick to point out the power difference compared with its 95-watt mainstream Opteron chips. "We don't require customers to choose between high performance and great power savings," said John Fruehe, worldwide market development manager for AMD's server products.
More feistiness is all but guaranteed in the x86 server market, which generated $5.9 billion in revenue for computer makers in the second quarter, according to IDC.
Server makers are happy to have two x86 server chip suppliers. Several announced new products based on Tulsa:
Dell has begun selling Tulsa-based PowerEdge 6800 and 6850 servers with a starting price of $6,900. The 6800 is a free-standing model, and the 6850 is rack-mounted.
Hewlett-Packard will include Tulsa in its ML570 and DL580 servers. "These should be available right around the same price points as (models with) the previous-generation chips, giving customers added performance at the same price," said John Gromala, director of server product marketing. For example, the rack-mounted DL580 with dual processors and 4GB of memory costs $8,297 and a similarly configured free-standing ML570 costs $7,477.
IBM will bring Tulsa to its rack-mounted four-processor System x3850 in late October. Its free-standing four-processor x3800 models will ship with Tulsa in November, the same time frame as the x3950, a system with a four-processor chassis that can be linked into a single 32-processor system.
Unisys will use the chips in its ES7000 servers beginning in the fourth quarter, at which point the company will announce prices.

- is on fire lately. I dont like the power and hear this uses but if its really fast it will do until a CORE based Intel/4CPU can be made ready.
Dell is out the door with this new puppy and they yet to sell AMD servers?

- Intel is getting ready for quantum leaps...
- AMD better come up with a plan not just a new processor, Intel is putting things back together and when they are done AMD is going to take a huge hit if they don't do something. Intel is gonna do mayor processor change every two years and its only gonna get better. I also read that Intel's road maps show 16 and 32 core chips in 2012.

Kiwaba Nzoje — Angolans regained their dignity and citizenship after the proclamation of national independence, on 11 November 1975, which also brought about the responsibility to build the country and create better living conditions for all.
This was said last Sunday in Kiwaba Nzoje Municipality, Malanje Province, by the provincial governor, Norberto dos Santos "Kwata Kanawa", when delivering a speech at a rally that marked the main local political act in the celebrations of Angola's 37th independence anniversary.
He reminded the public that today Angola is an independent and sovereign country, which is respected all over the world, having highlighted the advances made so far, with special emphasis on the achievement of effective peace (end of the civil conflict) on April 2002.
He pointed out that the independence and peace brought about several socioeconomic benefits, enabling the government to implement various programmes for the improvement of citizens' living standard.
He mentioned the appearance of schools, hospitals, roads and other infrastructures built by the central executive as examples of progress.
Meanwhile, in the framework of the public holiday, several undertakings were inaugurated in Kiwaba Nzoje, such as a water fountain, a municipal market, a recreation and multi-purpose centre, among other infrastructures.

Employers should have no right to pry into what we do in our private lives full stop.
Sure, but you don't went on a public forum. employers have no right to keep employees who are not happy with being where they are or who write crap about them in public. if you want to vent, do it in a private diary or to a friend.

The thing that really gets me is this here: Lobato said it was so bad that, "It felt like someone was kicking me in my stomach."
He went on to say that his supervisor's response to his illness was less than sympathetic, reporting, "He told me I wasn't allowed to leave my machinery again."
Now, before I am flamed hear me out. Something like this happened with my wife, and she is a RN. She kept having upper abdominal pain, and real bad heartburn. She blew it off as usual, and went to work normally. She told her immediate supervisor that she felt like she was going to faint, and that woman had the gall to tell her she would live, and to go back to work, so she did. When she got home that night, she was hurting so bad that I took her back to the ER. Come to find out, her gall bladder was full of stones and had to come out. The doctor took her of work for a week, and when she finally got everything taken care of, when she went back to work, they told her they did not need her services anymore. This is the way this country is coming, your not a person, and if you die on the job your fired.

Sorry but, the FB TOS means bullcrap to your employer. and even if you set it to private, you're still posting it publicly online. and if other people can see it, your employer can see, it if not directly indirectly. If you have a private FB with just your 2-3 best friends sure, but you're still doing it at your own risk, posting it on a public internet forum.
use your head or lose your job. simple. just like you don't tell your next employer at the interview why you quit or got fired from your last job if you want the job.
Posted 11 May 2013 - 18:12
Are you a doctor? They can cause jaundice and liver damage, and my wife was close to it. I will take their word over someone on a forum any day.
Gall stones are a far cry from death. Surgery has its risks, and gall bladder attacks due to gall stones, are probably some of the worst pain a person can go through, but nowhere near death.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recently launched E-Verify Self Service… a free, innovative, web-based system that allows individuals to check their U.S. employment eligibility status before they formally seek employment.
Why Was E-Verify Self Check Created?
E-Verify Self Check is a partnership between the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA). This online, self-service resource was developed in response to a request by Congress to create a service through which workers could check their own employment eligibility outside of the employer focused E-Verify process. Self Check is the first service that the E-Verify program is offering directly to U.S. workers.
View the Online News Release: Secretary Napolitano Announces Launch of E-Verify Self Check
How Does E-Verify Self Check Help Workers?
This voluntary, free and secure service allows U.S. workers over the age of 16 to identify and correct data inaccuracies in their DHS and SSA records. These inconsistencies often range from typographical errors to unreported name changes that would result in a mismatch. Self Check will inform users of how to correct those mismatches before they seek employment. Information that users provide to the E-Verify Self Check service and the results they receive, are not shared with the user's current or prospective employers.
Where is E-Verify Self Check Available?
The E-Verify Self Check service is available to users who maintain an address and are physically located in these states:
- Arizona
- Colorado
- District of Columbia (DC)
- Idaho
- Mississippi
- Virginia
The availability of E-Verify Self Check will be limited for the initial launch as the service is tested and improved upon. In the coming months, USCIS will continue to expand the service to additional eligible users.
How Does the E-Verify Self Check Process Work?
The E-Verify Self Check process has four steps… with the last step providing you with your results.
Step 1 – Enter ID Data
You will be asked to enter some basic identifying information such as your name, address and date of birth.
Step 2 – Take a Quiz
You will be asked to answer some demographic and financial questions. These questions are similar to the process your bank uses to confirm your identity.
Step 3 – Enter Document Data
After you have successfully completed the identity assurance quiz, you will be able to run an employment eligibility query to determine your eligibility to work in the United States. The information needed for this step includes your Social Security number, citizenship and details about any immigration documentation that proves your work authorization.
Step 4 – Get Results
After your information is submitted, you are almost instantly given a response indicating that you are either likely to be employment authorized in the U.S. or whether there is a mismatch between the data you entered and the data in the DHS and SSA records. If there is a mismatch, you will be given information that tells you how to correct your records if you wish to do so.

Forestry Commission Scotland is giving people plenty of notice that, while they have been suitably quiet over Christmas, their harvesting operations on the Glen Righ stretch of the A82 will get going on Monday 7th January 2013.
Alex MacLeod, who is managing the A82 project for the Commission, says: 'We want to re-assure people that we won't be doing any work over the Festive period but also to remind them that we will be hitting the ground running in the New Year.
'Some of the constructive feedback from our recent successful drop-in events asked that we continue our good in keeping people informed about what's happening when – and we aim to do just that.
'Traffic management will be in place from 14th January with a lane closure immediately South of the Loch Linnhe car park.
'There will also be a need for regular but short periods of road closure in both directions though it is expected that these will be for no more than 10 minutes at a time; and we will ensure that vehicles will be allowed to clear between each of these.
'We understand that road users will find this frustrating and we apologize in advance for the inconvenience – but the harvesting work is very difficult and potentially dangerous and the safety of our operators and road users is of paramount importance.'
The harvesting operations are expected to last until late March, with traffic management initially in place between the hours of 08.30 and 16.30, Monday to Friday.
The Commission will also ensure the short road closures are delayed until after 9.00am.
Visitors to the recent drop-in events viewed maps of the forest areas, photographs showing the harvesting challenges, work methods and work completed to date. The majority agreed with the 'sensible long term plan for a serious problem' and were 'pleased to have the opportunity to hear of the work programmes'.
Other issues that people raised were improved local notifications of road closures, concern about the visual impact of clearfelling, keeping people informed and quicker removal of harvesting warning signs after the completion of operations.
One of the issues is that clearfelling is not clearfelling – but only clearfelling the commercial trees. One of the quite awful visual impacts left after harvesting is the forest of strangely blackened naked trunks of the untouchables – creating a landscape that looks for all the world like a post-nuclear holocaust. The visual vandalism is always ugly and always distressing.
Alex MacLeod says: 'The feedback we received was very welcome and overwhelmingly supportive and we will do everything we can to ensure that as we get into the more intensive work in the future, we will keep communities and businesses involved and informed.'
- For more information about Forestry Commission Scotland's longer term programme over the next 10 -15 years, and to see a full report on the drop-in sessions – visit the Commission's website here.

1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup warm water with 1 tsp instant espresso diluted in it
3/4 cup buttermilk (i make my own using milk and vinegar)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line standard tins. Sift together cocoa powder, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Add eggs, warm water, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla, and mix until smooth. Scrape down the sides and bottom of bowl to assure batter is well mixed.
Divide batter evenly among cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake until tops dome, about 20-22 minutes.
