Jaybackers Organization
The Jaybackers Organization strengthens and promotes broad-based support for intercollegiate athletics at Creighton University by serving as ambassadors and providing funding to offset the increasing costs of competing at the Division I level.
Through the years, the Jaybackers Organization has touched the lives of many CU student-athletes – young women and men who have worked to balance academic excellence with superior sports performance. Many have gone on to represent Creighton University in professional sports, many more have earned a college degree and the means to pursue successful careers, and all have grown from their association with the CU athletics program.
The long-range goal of the Jaybackers Organization is to raise 100 percent of the money needed to fund Creighton University's athletic scholarships on an annual basis. Creighton's annual scholarship bill for student-athletes currently stands at over $4 million – and gifts to the Jaybackers Organization currently pay only a fraction of that bill. Jaybackers Organization funding helps supplement many areas of the Athletics budget which ensures the future growth and success of all Creighton University athletics programs which currently include eight women's sports (basketball, cross country, golf, rowing, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball) and six men's sports (baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, soccer and tennis).
Over 2,800 families and businesses joined Jaybackers in 2013-14 and gifts to the organization totaled over $4 million, reaching all-time highs in 16 of the last 17 years. In the last 18 years, the Jaybackers Organization has more than quadrupled in members while gifts have increased from $376,000 in 1996-97 to over $4 million in 2013-14.
For more information about joining Jaybackers, contact the Creighton University Athletics Ticket Office by phone at 402-280-JAYS (5297) or by e-mail at email@example.com.

If Price city gets to do the projects they would like to in the next year, and if they can find funding for those projects, maybe they will get done.
Well at least some of them anyway.
Nick Tatton, the city's community director, presented a "wish list" to the council during their regular meeting on Oct. 12, but it was just that; things the city would like to do in terms of capital improvements. The list emanated from the city's Capital Plan Development Committee. The list includes projects which are of pure necessity (like the money for bond payments) while others are not. The general fund, loans, grants or a combination of the later two could provide the funding. Tatton spelled out where the money could be brought from to bear on the needs.
Class C road money from the state could be used for some equipment purchases ($107,000) and some local street improvements ($300,000).
The Price general fund could be used in the maintenance of the canal fence ($20,000), the evaluation and purchase of a city fuel storage and dispensing system ($350,000), to purchase new police vehicles ($78,000), and replacement of other vehicles in the fleet ($55,000). Also slated for the general fund is possibly a new mower for the parks ($23,000) work on the Cliffview Cemetery entrance ($25,000) and property acquisition for a new water tank. Some of these purchases could also be supplemented by the awarding of Permanent Community Impact Board (CIB) funds. There is alos money in the list for repainting the old BLM warehouse and other buildings that the city now owns. This cost was estimated to be $300,000.
The development of infrastructure around the new property deemed set aside for the USU Eastern energy development center also needs to be examined as well. That $500,000 to S$1.1 million could come from the redevelopment agency and the CIB.
Based on the list the water fund would pay for a number of bond responsibilities. Those payments include $600,000 for the water transmission line and tank that is currently under obligation ($600,000), some CIB bond payments ($175,000) and other various obligations at a total of about $114,000.
Water infrastructure and equipment request could include a new 10 wheel dump truck for the department ($120,000) and some water line replacements ($20,000),
The sewer fund would be used for in-house sewer line replacements ($10,000), Bond payments from the sewer fund would include $96,000 in regular bond payments and $87,000 in bond payments on stimulus funds.
The city also needs to do some repairs to the Civic Auditorium. That cost would be around $25,000 and could come from the general fund as well as at least some money from the Carbon County Restaurant Tax fund.
The council will now have to pick and choose based on funding what capital projects need to move forward in the next year. Obviously, without some outside sources of money not all of these needs can be addressed.

After All These Years
A brief history of the Union School
This admittedly incomplete history of the Union School was constructed from interviews and historical research conducted primarily during the period surrounding the 1988 move of the school building from Logan County to its current site at Weldon Springs State Recreation Area.
A rural school from 1865 to 1945: Union School was originally built in 1865, as the story goes, by a Union soldier or soldiers returning from the just-ended Civil War. At least one such soldier, Philander Simcoe, is known by his descendents to have been involved in hauling materials for the construction. The school was situated in a grove of oak and walnut trees, not far from the meandering Salt Creek, in eastern Logan County between Beason and Chestnut. Typically of the era, the building was of simple saltbox design with one room to fulfill all the school's needs. There were windows on one side only, two entry doors at one end and a porch across that gable-end. A small settlement once reportedly stood near the original school site. The main attractions of the town seemed to be a hotel with its bar and dance hall. Cowboys stopped there as they drove their cattle to market and the spot may have likely been a lively one.
In the mid-19th century, the citizens of Illinois realized the need for establishing state-supported schooling and the state began to appropriate funds to build several one-room schools. Prior to that time, schools throughout the region were "pay schools," where the parents of the students would be responsible for funding a school's operation. Somewhere in the late 1800's, the plan had developed that no student should have to travel more than two miles to get to a state-funded school. Records indicate that in 1865, when the Union School was built, there were eight schools in the 36 square miles of what is now Aetna Township (officially, on the plat maps as Township 19, Range 1 West). Other Aetna Township schools then in existence included Popcorn, Chestnut, Regan, Mt. Airy, Bowles, Independence, and Harmony Schools.
Early records are nearly nonexistent due to a fire at the Logan County Courthouse in 1913 that destroyed nearly all county records. Accordingly, little is known of the details of Union School life prior to that time. Generalities can be constructed, though. Nearly all the students would have been from farming families. Chores both before and after school would be expected of all. Students would normally walk to school, with a wagon or horseback ride being a rare treat. In winter, a sleigh might be put to use when the snow made walking troublesome. With the need for children to help at various times on the farm and with the sometime inclement weather, attendance at school was often irregular. Mandatory attendance laws weren't yet in place and many children simply didn't attend at all. Although 1865 had brought emancipation of the slaves, racial attitudes still had a long way to go. As a result of state legislation, in 1873 Logan County built a school specifically for "colored" children. No local records of this endeavor have been located, but there are official reports that two black children attended regular schools (not Union School, as far as we know) with "no objections being made in the district."
In 1889, the average wage for a male teacher in Logan County was $55.85 per month, while that of females was $42.21. Male teachers were actually a bit of a rarity. In fact, none have been discovered on the Union School rolls. Those wages included more than just teaching. Assignment as a 19th century schoolteacher included responsibility for obtaining fuel for the stove, maintaining the cleanliness of the school, even sometimes undertaking minor repairs. From school to school, the amount of support that the local community gave the teacher with these tasks varied considerably. A rural teacher's success was heavily dependent on his or her relationship with the community and much early teacher preparation literature stresses the need to make a good impression and develop strong ties with area families.
For the period shortly after the turn of the century, local memories can reconstruct much of what official records cannot. According to interviews with some former Union School students and teachers, the school building was also sometimes used for church services and there was a pump organ in one corner. Around this era, students ranged from grades 1 through 10, although by around 1921, attendence would be restricted to grades 1 through 8. Around 1917 or 1918, the state began to standardize its rural schools. The importance of a healthy, positive learning environment was beginning to be recognized as education began to be looked at in a scientifically insightful manner. Accordingly, more windows were added to increase the input of natural light and sanitation took on a new emphasis. Within the next few years, two cloak rooms were added and the entrance door and a lengthened porch were moved to one of the longer sides of the building. The side of the school was now the front.
The earliest teacher documented to have served at Union School was Miss Maud Mount, teaching at least in the 1901-02 and 1902-03 school years. No records of her students are known to exist. Most years' lists of students and the names of almost all teachers are available, though, for the period of 1918-19 through 1944-45. The last Union School teacher was Esther Rawlings, serving from 1941 through the school's closing in 1946. Throughout its life, Union School seldom, if ever, served more than two dozen students in a year. Usually, less than eighteen were on the rolls in any year, with less than a dozen not unusual. Dwindling enrollments in its last years and improvements to transportation resulted in a 1946 consolidation with the Chestnut Grade School and the closing of Union School, one of the last and longest-serving one-room schools in the area.
Changes for the old school: Upon its closing in 1946, the old schoolhouse was used for a time as a private dwelling and then sat unused for a spell. It was donated to the Weldon Springs Foundation in 1986 by the family of George W. Bunn, Jr. Preparation work and fund-raising to make the relocation of the building a reality took some time. A gallant effort was put forth to raise the monies needed to move the school the 28 miles to Weldon Springs, to restore or replace rotted parts, and to construct a new foundation. By May of 1988, though, the necessary funds to cover moving and initial restoration costs were raised and the school found a new home at Weldon Springs. Businesses donated materials, such as paint, lumber, and cement. Contractors donated or substantially discounted the price of their labors. Other volunteers spent many an hour scraping, sawing, and otherwise working to restore the old building. The newly relocated school, now just about as good as new, was ready for its new life as the Union School Interpretive Center.
Union School Interpretive Center, 1988 - present: Since being relocated to the Weldon Springs S.R.A in May of 1988, the Union School building has been renovated and fully furnished to appear much as it did in the early part of the 20th century. It contains desks, an old stove, a small bookcase and pictures on the wall representative of the period. Many dedicated volunteers spent long hours replacing rotted wood, replastering the interior, painting and otherwise bringing the old building back to life. It is now available free of charge for use by area classes or other groups. By arrangement, the park's Staff Interpreter can provide tailored science and nature presentations using the school building or its grounds as a backdrop or gathering place when appropriate. Students can experience first-hand a little of what education in a one-room school was like and, at the same time, gain contemporary knowledge that fits right in with their school curriculum needs. For details of using or reserving the school, please return to the Weldon Springs S.R.A. web site and click on "Interpretive Program Information."
The Union School may no longer ring its bell each morning, calling students to their recitations, but it is certainly still doing its part. The old school is "Still Educating: After all these years!"

Community unveils statue honoring Sunnyside astronaut
SUNNYSIDE, Wash. -- A crowd gathered Monday in Sunnyside to unveil a statue of a favorite daughter who reached for the stars.
Sunnyside dedicated a bronze statue of astronaut Bonnie Dunbar.
Dunbar grew up in Sunnyside and grew up to fly five space shuttle missions during her time with NASA. She spent more than 50 days in space.
She says the Yakima Valley community provided all the support she needed.
"Growing up here and having the family I did and the schools, the community makes all the difference," Bonnie Dunbar said. "Believe it or not, nobody ever told me here I couldn't follow my dreams. Not one single person."
The Bronze Society raised the money to pay for the statue.

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) — Say goodbye to Thanksgiving, and Black Friday while you're at it. Retailers are wrecking holiday time for shoppers and shop workers alike.
This year will see an unprecedented move by the big boys of retail to open their stores earlier than ever on Thanksgiving Day, putting pressure on the traditions — from indulging in an oversize dinner to loafing around watching football — that many families hold sacred.
Retailers are ruining Thanksgiving
Say goodbye to Thanksgiving, and Black Friday while you're at it. Retailers are wrecking holiday time for shoppers and shop workers alike. Jennifer Waters explains.
"Retailers have basically ruined every holiday," says Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst at NPD Group, a retail research consultant. "They have commercialized every single holiday by creating a good reason to promote something and drive traffic."
They do it for the simple reason that, well, they can. It follows that adage from "Field of Dreams" that if you build it, they will come. If you open the store earlier, they will shop.
We've seen the creep into Thanksgiving Day grow more aggressive each year but never getting this close to family time. Bold steps have been taken over the last three to five years as retailers first encroached on the day with online teasers for midnight Black Friday sales at the bricks-and-mortar stores to online sales during Thanksgiving Day to just opening the stores while many are still just getting to the turkey.
Bill Tancer, the general manager of global retail for Experian, sees it as a confluence of sophisticated retailing and consumer boredom, thanks to the swelling population of cyber-deal surfers on Thanksgiving. He's been following for the past decade a growing group of restless consumers who turn to the Internet for entertainment and holiday shopping on the holiday. From 2003 to 2011, the No. 1 online shopping day has been Thanksgiving, according to his findings. Last year was the first that the so-called Cyber Monday, the Monday after the holiday, eclipsed Thanksgiving Day in online sales.
It makes sense then for retailers to just open the doors. They wouldn't if we didn't walk through them.
"Retailers are getting savvy to the fact that Thanksgiving Day is such a busy online shopping day that they're now keeping their bricks-and-mortar stores open on Thanksgiving," Tancer says. Among those making early plays for customers this year are Sears, Target, Wal-Mart, Kmart, Toys "R" Us and Gap.
"I don't know if it's stealing our time from us, since consumers have shown a strong interest in searching for those deals and making purchases on Thanksgiving," he says. "There's a lot of dead time while that turkey is in the oven. It's a good time to shop."
So we have no one but ourselves — or our neighbors — to blame. Cohen claims that retailers who bucked tradition for revenue potential last year were rewarded with a 22% hike in Black Friday weekend business over those who didn't open shop. That means there were lots of folks willing to forgo food and football to shop."

Miro Copic, who sees this trend turning into the "new normal" for Thanksgiving within five years, says it's not about stealing time from our families but giving us alternatives. (Wait! Not everyone watches football?)
"There will be a lot of backlash on blogs and such, on family values and how we're becoming too commercial," says the San Diego State University marketing professor. "But at the end of the day, it's a choice. If I'm a retailer and I'm open, I'm telling you that you don't have to come, but I'm giving you a convenience if you want to come."
Retailing is a lot like herding, experts say. "If one store opens on Thanksgiving Day, competitors will follow — since it is a battle over market share," says Chris Christopher, an economist for IHS Global Insight.

Submission No bomb powerful enough to destroy an on-rushing asteroid, sorry Bruce Willis-> 2
coondoggie writes: "Maybe it's the doom predictions some folks are fearing about the end of the Mayan calendar this year or maybe these guys are obsessed with old Bruce Willis movies. Either way a class of physics students from the University of Leicester decided to evaluate whether or not the premise of Willis' 1998 "Armageddon" movie — where a group of oil drillers is sent by NASA to detonate nuclear devices on an asteroid that threatens to destroy Earth — could actually happen."

2001 Infiniti QX
There was a rear wheel grinding noise when stopping. I removed the rear wheels and hub and found the brake shoes with wear but not worn out. The wheel mounts spin but with drag to them. Is this normal?

A minimal drag is normal but if the drag is making it very difficult to spin the wheel, then it is not normal.
Sometimes when brake dust accumulates, it would result in grinding noises and after cleaning up, it should work well.

Well I can't seem to leave well enough alone. I always have to modify something. I originally thought that I wood invert the cone and use the Ti stakes furnished by TD. By the time I got my cone I had an idea to use a different approach. Leave the cone as is and create a one piece pot support to place on top of the cone. Because of my pot design TD could not make a TiTri system for me. A large opening at the top of the cone for the wood mode was not possible so I modified and made it work my way. The entire set-up worked out just right for me. Thought I'd share how I did it. You might be able to modify your cone to be used the same way.Caldera Cone and wood Fires on Youtube
Neat technique to achieve the vertical stacking. Thanks for sharing that.
I have a TD Sidewinder for a 3 cup pot. Love to use it with wood for winter camping. -> The vertical stacking looks interesting. I'll try it with the Inferno inverted cone.-> Using sticks to support the mesh, not so much. They will eventually burn and the use of the mesh to admit bottom flow of air is lost.-> The pot support is absolutely wrong for a cone stove. You lose the heat saving advantage of the pot-in-cone concept. You have merely used the cone to contain the fire. A hobo can stove does the same thing. BUT, the pot support is a good idea if you have to use a pot that is too large to fit inside the stove. -> Absence of the inner Inferno inverted cone loses the gassifier advantage of recirculating unburned gas, thus making a hotter fire. Use the Inferno cone to be the container for "vertical stacking". I think the Inferno insert kit makes the Sidewinder or Tri Ti the equal of the Bush Buddy for combustion efficiency.All in all you have (IMHO) one of four ideas that are truly useful but I like that you are tinkering and thinking about wood fires. That is how things are improved.

-> Using sticks to support the mesh, not so much. They will eventually burn and the use of the mesh to admit bottom flow of air is lost.Yes, and they served their purpose until they themselves were consumed. They eliminated one less piece to store in the pot. The base holes of the cone are truly marvelous...plenty of incoming air. Remember, I burn top to bottom. Plenty of incoming air due to the open top created by the pot support.My cone was not a TiTri but yet I adapted and was able to burn my favorite fuel. It's ok, let's call it a hobo stove made of Ti.Let's remember the efficiency that the cone gets with alcohol and esbit. Esbit, your favorite fuel will boil 3 cups with one cube. And if you want to slow down the burn rate of a cube let it stay inside the plastic wrap that it's packaged in. Peel the foil off and lite the top of it.-> Absence of the inner Inferno inverted cone loses the gassifier advantage of recirculating unburned gas, thus making a hotter fire. Use the Inferno cone to be the container for "vertical stacking". I think the Inferno insert kit makes the Sidewinder or Tri Ti the equal of the Bush Buddy for combustion efficiency.Oh Boy!!!! Recirculating unburned gas, that's a favorite topic of mine...one that I gave up on :-))))
Watch the flame pattern of the cone and see how the accessory ring holds the twigs in a bundle. Eric, stop the video at the 1:20 mark and look at the twigs under the grate. They are providing ample support for air to enter under the stack. You might want to change your mind about the twigs.youtube video of Caldera Cone Flame Pattern
Edited by zelph on 07/06/2013 06:39:43 MDT.
So what's your approach to soot management with the cone and pot? Do you pack it all in a sack? Or wipe it down after use? I've always liked the idea of using wood, but found keeping the soot off the rest of my stuff to be a bit of a hassle. Ideally I'd like to use a mixed strategy of wood and alcohol, but I find it's only worth it on longer trips where the wood usage saves substantial weight.
Edited by dandydan on 07/06/2013 10:33:42 MDT.
This is great stuff, very resourceful with the ring as an aid to making a vertical stack.I have to think that for a single burn, the twigs underneath the grate would be no problem. You'd just replace them if you do another burn. I've found that even without a space underneath your wood stack, it works, just not quite as efficiently. Being at the bottom, those support twigs should be the last to burn when top lighting the stove.
Edited by DaFireMedic on 07/06/2013 09:37:44 MDT.
Yeah, soot is a major negativeNow if you had a small fire, and then drug coals from the fire to under your pot was, right next to it, that might work. Maybe just have three rocks as a pot support. Technique rather than equipment.
There is very little soot involved in burning twigs from the top down. Pine gives off more soot than hard woods. Hot fires are clean fires. Perfect your wood burning skills to get the "hot" fires. burning from the bottom will always get you soot. Dry wood is a must also for cleaner pots and cone.I know most of you that have the bushbuddy are slaves to your stove having to constantly feed twigs to it in order to get 2 cups to boil.I'll have to do a video that shows a pot after a nice hot burn. There will be a coating on the pot but it will not be dirty soot.I'm not against putting my cone and grate into my pot uncovered. My pot of water comes to a boil and I'm good to go. Dump it into my Mountain House "Chicken-N-Rice" and I'm one content and happy hiker.I put my pot into a tyvek sleeve stuff sack. I bought some tyvek forearm protectors on ebay that work great as stuff sacks. They have elastic bands on both ends. I furnished them with the folding woodgaz stove.The reason your pants have pant legs is to wipe your hands after handling your fire stuff :-)))Soot Management Caldera Cone youtube

I love how you've got a video up already. I'm off to watch it.
>"This is great stuff, very resourceful with the ring as an aid to making a vertical stack."Yeah, I liked that, too.A skinny rubber band would be super easy although it would stink a tiny bit when the rubber burned.A tiny spool* of cotton thread would weigh just about nothing and let you make a bundle or two in advance (like the night before, as you wait for your dinner to cook, you could gather your morning bundle and then tuck it somewhere it won't get dew on it overnight).*Of course, not a single-purpose spool, but cotton thread wrapped around a pen, spoon handle, tent peg, or something you were taking anyway.Or you could all wood-crafty about it and tie a bundle of sticks together with grass or a strip of bark from a (dead!) branch or root. Or just kill a bison and spin its hair into twine.
Soot must be a wood stove thing. I always cook over a small open fire and i usually dont get enough soot to worry about it rubbing off. I generally wait until its down to coals. The soot must come from the initial combustion.I probably have a few grams of soot stuck onto my pot. It just doesent rub off. All of my pots end up looking rough after a few trips.
"Or you could all wood-crafty about t and tie a bundle of sticks together with grass or a strip of bark from a(dead!) branch or root. Or just kill a bison and spin its hair into twine."Mors Kochaski did a thing about tying sticks together with spruce roots. He would light it on fire from the top and swing it around in the air to get it going. Cutting one root from a healthy tree wouldnt hurt it.
Watch the video of a Inferno Insert being used in a common light the bottom technique. He loads the Inferno with pine needles/cones(fast burning) and then a load of big stuff. He finally gets the pot on and then I could tell the fire is going to be snuffed or seriously damage the fire. The video ends at that point. Notice the smoke.Scroll down the page to the video identified as MVI6425MVI_6425Watch the video half way down the pageMVI_6425
I think most of that smoke resulted from using spruce boughs for tinder. I'll try vertical stacking and top lighting. Might just work better.
Eric, give it a try. I inverted my cone and made it into an Inferno. A little clumsy at first but managed to geter goin ok. It boiled 2.5 cups with one load. I'll publish another video to show the entire 14 min in a shortened version. This video will give an idea of how it wnet for me the first time doing the inverted cone. The next time I'll place the cone on before I light it. I used fat wood for my tinder.I inverted the Cladera Cone turned into a Inferno.I had time to load another video so you can see a shortened version of a 14 min. video. The above video is of the first 5 min.The full 14 min. video shortened on youtube

Are there more than 5 of you out there that use wood most of the time for your goto fuel? I use it most of the time so I'm #1Who is #2?I know there are tons of you that purchased BushBuddy's and Backcountry Boilers. Are you using wood in them or alcohol as the main fuel?
Hello Dan,I have a one of the classic Ti cones, and I really like to take advantage of the "tri" fuel nature of the cone. Though, I don't usually use wood for my goto fuel, but rather, use wood to create "surplus", so to speak, with the fuel I've packed. What I will do is bring *exactly* the right amount (or even slightly less) esbit or alcohol for the number of hot meals I've planned. Then I will try to use wood to boil a meal or two right from day one when the weather and trail conditions allow. These one or two boils will create a surplus in the fuel I have packed, creating some buffer for emergencies, "emergencies" usually being the desire for an extra hot chocolate or peppermint tea at night.The only downside is that my fuel weight doesn't decrease right away, but really, at about 0.5-0.7 ounces of fuel for a meal and hot drinks, it's not a significant amount of weight. The ultralight ethos of returning home from a trip with absolutely no food or fuel remaining has never appealed to me, mostly because my trips tend to have some degree of off-trail unpredictability, and using wood allows for me to create that buffer at the start of the trip, without packing extra fuel, rather than having to rely on wood at the end, when weather or trail conditions might not be as conducive for wood burning.I also like to use wood for simmer or cooking foods that take longer than what is easy with alcohol or esbit. In the picture below we are frying vegetables in butter. The vegetables and aluminium foil were packed ahead of time at home, and were cooked on the first night on the trail. I've also used a frying pan placed on top of the cone a few times while burning wood, and it works alright, but you just have to be careful not to bend the lip of the Ti foil when you move or seat the pan.I also use esbit a fair bit. Although I find that both esbit and wood leave residue, I've found that wiping the pot and cone down quickly while the residue is still warm gets rid of most of it it right away. I try to rub them in the dirt/moss/duff first, and then follow up with a 3 x 3 inch piece of a sham-wow towel.I've used my Ti Goat 900ml pot many times directly over green pine branches that give off a huge amount of sticky creosote and sap. I have a MYOG reflectix cozy that I use to cover the pot that keeps the sticky mess from getting everywhere. Usually the pot goes right in the cozy from the stove, so the cozy gets pretty sticky on the inside. I give the pot and cone as much of a clean as I can in the field, and a very vigorous scrub with a steel pot scrubber, dish-soap, and sometimes vinegar when I get home (I'm not actually sure if the vinegar helps, but it makes me feel better). After quite a few years, the cone and pot are discoloured a bit, but not at all sticky.Burning wood in the cone seems to require a fraction of the fuel than using a normal fire with a ring of rocks, and I find it much quicker, but I don't use wood as my primary fuel simply because I don't feel I have to. Esbit and alcohol are so (relatively) inexpensive, and light that I really don't see a reason not to bring them. Here is the picture of roasting veggies on the cone:

Hi Rob,Thanks for sharing how you use the TiTri feature of the cone. Roasting veggies or meat on your first night out is good planning. I do that without fail. Second night I'll finish off the veggies that I've brought. Fish on the third day is always in my plans when near water. I'm crazy about Mountain House "Chicken-N-Rice" with "Blueberry Granola" to follow as dessert. My new found stainless steel pot holds 3 cups of water with plenty of head room. Non-stick aluminum foil is my friend when roasting. I clean the outside of my pot once a year with liquid "chaffing fuel" I wrap it with paper towels and then pour the chaffing fuel onto the towels and then let it soak over night. I have a video or two of that process. I normally use 3 fingers to handle my cookware. 3 fingers to get dirty ain't too bad. This new found wire handle seems to be working out nicely. I have another video that shows the handle remaining cool enough to lift the pot off the wood fire. I tried using a larger pot on the inverted cone but was not successful at it. I had to revert back to the smaller 4" dia. The 3/4" high X shaped pot support would have worked a lot better than the steel rods as shown in the video. The load of wood I used eventually boiled the 24 ounces of water at around 20 min. The wood was large diameter which burned slowly but without much smoke.I had to be careful with my cone, it feels a little thin when dealing with a larger pot and maneuvering it to adjust the fire that seems to get under the bottom edge of it. The Ti cone is new to me so I expect it will take some time to adjust to it's lightness in weight. I sure do like the closure system that TD came up with....solid!!!Really nice photos Rob, thanks for sharing those. What kind of grill is that in the 1st photo and what is the ingredients of the meal in the last photo...looks yummy :-) How tall is your Ti Goat 900ml pot and your Ti Cone? My pot is 4" tall and the cone is 4" tall, fits inside the pot. Grate fits inside the lid.When watching this video concentrate on the top lighting and the amount of smoke when using the vertical stack method. About 2 years ago I started doing the vertical stack and top lighting. It has worked well for me.The 2nd video is for a little humor. "How to light your fire with a Harley".Larger pot did not work wellHarley fire starter

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Small business owners expressed their concerns on Tuesday about the proposed east-west highway just hours before the transportation committee took on 6 bills regarding the project.
The plan calls for a 220-mile highway connecting Calais to Coburn Gore.
Chuck Peabody owns a whitewater rafting company in The Forks. He says he's one of 10 rafting companies worried about losing land to eminent domain or to the project affecting the layout of the area.
Other business owners worry the new highway would take traffic away from Routes like 201, 2, even Route 1; hurting businesses already thriving.
Those for it, say the highway could bring even more business to those areas. Sen. Ron Collins says the construction itself would create jobs, the highway would make it easier for lumber businesses and farmers to transport their goods, and the highway would attract more people to build in the area.

Hi everybody
I would like to ask why are linear motors not being considered for mainstream use on main rail lines. If there was a linear motor system then you would not need to maintain vast amounts of cabling above electrified railway lines.
A major improvement would be that linear motors could be switch on only when a train passes over the motor, which is a big energy saving to take into consideration in relation to overhead cables which need a constant energy supply.
The could be cost saving over constructing and maintaining overhead cabling.
In terms of health and safety the linear motors look to be a safer option than overhead power cables because they would be switched of until a train passes over them unlike overhead power cables that are on all the time.
Why is there not any implementation of linear motor systems on main lines? Is there something that I have overlooked in my argument?

In principal, yes, it's a fantastic idea, but in practice, it would mean major changes to all UK inferstructure, and rolling stock.
The 25kV OHL system can supply power to traction motors at any point, and for any vehicle, be it a locomotive, or multiple unit.
Safety wise, I havn't seen any safety issues in a long time with OHL and people killing or injuring themselves, short of idiots trying to steal cable.
Cost wise, how much would these linear motors cost to install, bearing in mind they'd proberbly require copper windings that would get stolen very frequently on the UK network, as anyone who commutes through Newton Heath or Clifton will know. You'd also need these at every signal point and long enough to bring the units back up to linespeed again, and for some units and trains, this can be all the way to the next signal block, so realistically to maintain performance you'd need to install these linear motors over the whole track, we're now putting windings everywhere, and this is a significant amount more cabling than OHL uses.
Then there is the matter of the fact that OHL doesn't just feed traction motors, it also provides the ETH supply (A legacy term Electric Train Heating) that provides all ancillary services, such as lighting, air conditioning, toilets, heating, plug sockets, tilt motors (On 221 and 390 units) control systems etc.
Control systems brings be onto another thing, this would introduce an additional point of failiure, where currently if a traction motor winding fails on say, a Class 380 unit, this motor can be isolated and the unit continue to some sidings where it is out of the way, if the linear motors fail, the line fails and you need a diesel locomotive to haul it away.
Theres also the question of how one would control these from the unit...
Maglev does use this system and it does work, but it would be prohivitavely expensive (and pointless) to fit this to the existing UK system, that is also ubiquitious around Europe for rail systems (Except our loading gauge is smaller at W6, W8 or W10/12 rather than the EU Standard of UIC-GC, that is being employed on all new lines wherever practical in the UK) The 'Standard Gauge' Railway will be here to stay for a while I'm afraid.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - One of the things people like about places like Subway, Moe's Southwest Grill and so on, is being able to customize everything that goes into your meal. But have you ever done that with Chinese food before?
Enter Kung Food, a year-and-a-half old Taiwanese-Japanese restaurant on Main Street just across from the southern tip of UB's South Campus.
Andy Liu and Ed Young started the place looking to offer people good service, authentic dishes and a whole lot of variety- they offer hundreds of combinations among the different bases, meats and sauces on the menu.
You'll find your standards like sesame chicken and sweet and sour pork, along with vegetarian dishes. Then there's the more unique options- like the Kung Food Special, a delicious pork stew topped with a hard boiled egg- definitely a favorite for Unique Eats. The cucumber salad and Asian-style potato salad are also great sides.
If you've never had bubble tea, what are you waiting for? There are some great options at Kung Food with the imported Taiwanese tea. Get some tapioca added and don't ask for more sugar- it's a good level of sweetness the way they make it.
Check out Kung Food's website here and let us know where we should go next in the comments section on our Facebook page!

Alliance just raped them.
Lol. We'll keep you to your word on shaving.
Which two game series did you find most exciting?

Not sure about two game series, but the Dendi pudge game was really fun to watch. So much action and blood.
damn Orange so good. Na'Vi gets too confident giving Xtinct Visage. tsk

This is something I am wondering as well... why is Asia spewing out so many high quality sandbox(-ish) MMOs while west has a few indie ones in the making? I thought asians didn't mind playing themepark games and west was getting sick of them, so why is it like this?
