The AXPRO Group performs applied and fundamental research in explosive engineering, energetic materials, as well as explosive processing of materials. The research scope is focused on developing practical solutions for unique applications in partnership with industry and government.
The education goal of the AXPRO Group is to provide practical experience with explosives safety, handling, storage, and applied science for both students and explosive users. In addition, the AXPRO Group collaborates with the continuing education program at CSM to offer world class seminars and short courses on a variety of explosives engineering topics.
AXPRO Group was established in 2005 on the encouragement of industrial partners to emphasize the unique strength in undergraduate and graduate engineering education at the Colorado School of Mines. The group has grown to currently employ five full-time technical staff working to deliver research value to clients and partners. This technical staff also helps to oversee AXPRO's graduate and undergraduate explosive research programs at the Colorado School of Mines.
The Departments of Mining Engineering and Metallurgical & Materials Engineering of the Colorado School of Mines have established this research group to investigate explosive applications such as rock fragmentation, explosive properties, explosive welding, explosive synthesis, and the effect of explosives on structures and humans. Recently, the group has matured into two research teams: Explosive Processing of Materials, led by Dr. Stephen Liu; and Explosives Engineering, led by Dr. Vilem Petr. The explosive engineering team has recently added Dr. Jonathan Mace from the Physics Department as a faculty member and project manager. Additionally, the explosives team is collaborating with Dr. Griffiths and Dr. Wang from the College of Engineering on specific projects
The AXPRO Group is constantly pursuing partnerships with industry, government agencies, and other academic institutions.

Top 10 Things that College Taught Us About Life
By Adam Starr via MonsterCollege.com
December 14, 2009
2. Drinking
Like in college, the modern professional is presented with plenty of opportunities to have a few pints, pitchers, or cocktails after work. Unlike your fraternity pledge master however, your work supervisor will find it much less entertaining if you show up for the job late, hung-over, or generally unproductive. Sure, you could order that last call drink on a Wednesday night… but Thursday morning will come awfully fast and you won't have the option of just skipping this class. Save big nights for the weekend, and definitely avoid keg stands at all company parties – even if your inverted shot gunning skills are the pride of Iowa.

Stars Aren't Shining Bright for Seahawks
LaDainian Tomlinson's record-breaking season translates into the San Diego Chargers having the best record in the AFC. Drew Brees's career year is a big reason why the New Orleans Saints are the league's biggest surprise.
When stars shine, their respective teams often reach out-of-this-world heights.
That was the case for the 2005 Seattle Seahawks. Not so much for this year's team.
When players on a contending team can't reproduce their career numbers, everything can come crashing back to Earth rather quickly.
Several Seahawks had career years in 2005, leading the way to the first Super Bowl appearance in franchise history. Most of those same players are back, yet the results have fallen far short of expectations.
In almost every case — running back Shaun Alexander, quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, tight end Jerramy Stevens, left tackle Walter Jones, defensive tackle Rocky Bernard, defensive end Bryce Fisher and safety Michael Boulware are the most obvious victims — injuries have been a factor. But there have also been less tangible reasons that are more difficult to measure, like motivation, new teammates and overblown expectations. After achieving as much as some Seahawks did last season, it's almost impossible to measure up.
The drop in numbers by some Seahawks says not so much about this season as it does the improbability of the 2005 season.
Alexander's average of 83.0 rushing yards per game played, for example, would be acceptable for some NFL running backs. But it is a huge falloff from the 117.5 yards he put up in 2005.
Stevens has dropped from a career-high 45 receptions last year to just 16 this year. Bernard (from 8.5 to 3.5) and Fisher (9 to 4) have seen their sack totals plummet. And Jones, who gave up just three sacks during the entire 2005 season — and less than a dozen during the first nine years of his career — has already allowed seven in 14 games this year.
Boulware struggled so badly early in the season that he was eventually benched. Only recently has he started to see significant playing time again on the defense.
Then there's Hasselbeck, who has had injuries to his right knee and non-throwing hand but has also struggled with running the offense and making adjustments at the line of scrimmage. He had a 24-to-9 ratio in touchdowns to interceptions in 2005 but has seen that margin balance out to 17-to-12 this year.
Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren summed up Hasselbeck's performance by saying: "The decision-making is not quite as sharp in the passing game as it was last year."
Other than the obvious problems with injuries, Holmgren offers no excuses for the various declines in production throughout his roster.
"I'm not going into the reasons as to why it hasn't happened," Holmgren said. "That varies from team to team, year to year, any number of things, not the least of which is injury.
"But the fact is, every team counts on a core group of players to play at their best. Every team — not just the Seahawks. And you need that to happen to maximize your goals."
The Seahawks haven't maximized their goals this year, due in large part to the dips in production from some of their best players.

I'm an advanced beginner/intermediate crocheter. I like to work from my head as well as from a pattern. I am 42, disabled, and raising a family in a very small rural community on a very limited budget. I often find myself looking for solutions to stretching supplies or aquiring materials. I will crochet with just about anything, though admittedly I have not quite gotten around to plarn yet. I'm still saving bags. I've applied some very different materials to a few vintage crochet patterns due to the money factor. The results varied and A couple of my planned projects that are coming up include older patterns and materials not necessarily meant for crochet...we will see how they go. I have not yet ventured into clothing though I am thinking of starting to this winter; first with a shawl and then perhaps a child's sweater. Historically I come from a long female line of hand crafters that sew, knit, crochet, craft, bead, and etc...and a long male line of metal and wood workers that are/were very skilled in mechanics and engineering. I inherited the gifts of both but being a recalcitrant child I preferred working in electronics, machining, drafting, and graphic design. I shunned anything "domestic". It took disability to settle me down enough to apply my skills to a crochet hook. I love it and wish I had started sooner so I could have had the tutelage of both my great grandmother and my grandmother who lived well into my adulthood. Thankfully my mom paid attention and I can still go to her. I have in turn recently gotten my 21 year old hooked. It is my goal to increase my skills in crochet and my self sufficiency by learning to knit and spin yarn as well. I joined crochetme in the hopes of meeting like minded folks, learning, and broadening my own ideas of crochet.

The Israeli Air Force, of all people, has the answer.
More specifically, the answer comes from Applied Cognitive Engineering, or ACE, an Israeli technology company that has worked with the Israelis and the U.S. Air Force, as well as NASA and the American military's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Originally used to train fighter pilots, ACE's IntelliGym is now being adopted by more and more hockey coaches.
The cognitive training system develops players' awareness and ability to make fast-paced decisions and has already made its mark on the hockey world in just three years.
Last summer's NHL Draft boasted an impressive 16 selections who had trained with the IntelliGym, including top picks J.T. Miller, Connor Murphy and Tyler Biggs. (Photo: Applied Cognitive Engineering)
In the sports world, IntellyGym was first harnessed by a number of big-time basketball coaches, including Hall-of-Famer Hubie Brown, who now sits on ACE's advisory board. When the team behind the IntelliGym noticed the incredible speed and action of hockey, they saw another area where they could provide a vital training tool.
"We were asking coaches how they train athletes to make the right decisions," said Danny Dankner, ACE's chief operating officer. "For many of them, they thought being a smart player was a born trait. Either you were born that way or not. But, just like training your muscles, everyone can train their brain fundamentals. The percentage of improvement for pilots in on-air performance was tens of percent on average. If you want to train situational alertness and read-and-react skills and pattern recognition, these are skills that are harder to train."
While other schools, including the United States Air Force Academy, have adopted IntelliGym in their hockey programs, the greatest results so far have been with the United States' National Development Team Program. In perhaps the greatest testament to the merits of the program, last summer's draft boasted an impressive 16 selections who had trained with the IntelliGym, including top picks J.T. Miller, Connor Murphy, and Tyler Biggs.
But the number of NHL prospects is not the only statistic ACE boasts in touting the efficiency of its program.
Since adopting the IntelliGym, the United States national Under-18 team has gone from winning 29 percent of its games to a whopping 70 percent. Because the U.S. program has only used the IntelliGym for three years, the sample size for these statistics is rather small. But in the world of hockey, it's championships that are the ultimate metric. And considering the U.S. U-18 team is a three-time world champion and the U-17 and U-18 teams have combined to win 10 of their last 13 tournaments, the results seem to be indisputable.
"We had no idea what to expect. It kind of looked like a video game. Sure enough, you could see how it related to hockey and increased your awareness and knowledge." -- University of Maine defenseman Michael Cornell"Before I got here, I was at a festival in the summer and the guys from Israel were there meeting with different coaches. That did give me interest in their research," said former NHLer and current U.S. national U-18 coach Danton Cole. "The cognitive element where you instinctively do something can give you the edge between making it and not making it. This [IntelliGym] is something that can help you be better at that. Every time you do a little better, it adjusts and makes it harder and makes you better."
The sample size is small and more results are likely needed to prove IntelliGym's true value, but Dankner sees other, potentially greater, long-term benefits of his interface.
"We realized if you train the players' skills and they are more aware of their surroundings and have better working memory, you are less prone to be injured while playing hockey. It's injury prevention because you are more aware of what is going on around you," said Dankner. "Injuries happen when you are hit and not ready. If you know your surroundings better, you are less likely to be hit.
"Looking at the medical records, we found a 25 percent decline in injuries related to being hit on the ice, like concussions. This is a small sample, but I think we have an interesting thing we will research shortly."
The pool of data may be shallow right now, but Dankner believes his system may not just develop a better hockey player, but a safer hockey player as well.

Frisée Salad with Lardons and Poached Eggs
- 1/2 pound frisée (French curly endive)
- 6 ounces slab bacon or thick-cut bacon slices
- 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons chopped shallot
- 3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
Tear frisée into bite-size pieces and put in a large bowl. If using slab bacon, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Cut bacon slices crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick sticks (lardons).
In a heavy skillet cook bacon over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and remove skillet from heat.
Have ready another skillet with 1 inch warm water. Half-fill a 4-quart saucepan with water and stir in white vinegar. Bring liquid to a bare simmer. Break each egg into a teacup. Slide 1 egg into simmering liquid and immediately push white around yolk with a slotted spoon, moving egg gently. (Egg will become oval, with yolk completely covered by white.) Add remaining 3 eggs in same manner. Simmer eggs about 1 1/2 minutes for runny yolks to about 3 minutes for firm yolks. (Serving this salad with runnynot fully cookedyolks may be of concern if there is a problem with salmonella in your area.) Immediately transfer eggs to skillet of warm water.
Reheat bacon in its skillet over moderate heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add red-wine vinegar and boil 5 seconds. Immediately pour hot dressing over frisée and toss with salt and pepper to taste.
Divide salad among 4 plates and top with drained poached eggs. Season eggs with salt and pepper and serve salad immediately.

Safety Tips
Keep motorists and passengers safe all year long with these simple tips:
- Plan your route home before you start your festivities.
- Designate a sober driver before drinking. Don't wait until after you have had a few drinks.
- Take a ride in a taxi, call a sober friend or family member or take public transportation.
- Save a life. Call law enforcement immediately if you see a drunk driver on the road.
- Be a friend. Take the keys if you know someone who is about to drive drunk. Help them find a safe way home.
Number of fatalities in 2014 as a result of alcohol-related crashes.
Every 51 minutes, someone is killed in an alcohol-related crash.
North Carolina DWI Laws
Drinking and driving puts everything on the line: your freedom, your reputation, your bank account, your life - and the lives of others.
- Driving with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% or more is illegal and greatly increases the risk of serious injury and even death.
- If you're under 21, driving with a BAC over 0.0% - that's ZERO - is an automatic DWI.
- Commercial drivers - a BAC of 0.04% or more will land you in jail.
The effects from a DWI can last a lifetime. Court costs and lawyer fees can put you into deep debt. You could lose your license, and any jail time you have to serve affects your work and family. You may also have to perform community service. And higher car insurance rates will hit you in the wallet on a regular basis.
About "Booze It & Lose It"
"Booze It & Lose It" was launched in 1994 to increase awareness of the dangers of drinking and driving, as well as the penalties associated with driving drunk. Even with its success, nearly 8,500 people have lost their lives in alcohol-related crashes in North Carolina since then.
"Booze It & Lose It" also partners with law enforcement agencies across the state to get drunk drivers off the road. Nine dedicated DWI Task Forces staffed with officers specially trained to identify and apprehend drunk drivers in North Carolina are located in these counties: Brunswick, Buncombe, Columbus, Forsyth, Guilford, Mecklenburg, New Hanover, Robeson and Wake.

Theft charges withdrawn against Monongahela mayor
Washington County District Attorney Eugene Vittone has withdrawn theft charges against Monongahela Mayor Robert Kepics and acknowledged that charges shouldn't have been filed because it is a civil matter.
Kepics, 56, was charged this week with theft by deception after a New Eagle couple filed a complaint with a district judge stating that he has failed to pay back a loan of nearly $4,000.
"After hearing the evidence, it was apparent to me that this was a civil and not a criminal matter and that a criminal charge should not have been filed," Vittone said Friday.
Vittone explained that the charge requires an intent to deceive another person into parting with their money.
"The facts in this case show that Kepics made three loan payments...which demonstrates Kepics' intentions to pay back the loan."
Kepics, who could not be reached for comment Friday, peviously said that he is on disability, which makes it difficult to pay back the loan.
He was arrested Tuesday after John and Shirley Amon filed a complaint with District Judge Mark Wilson stating that Kepics borrowed $3,935 from them on April 11, 2011.
They said he repaid $1,400 seven months later but has repeatedly failed to pay back the remainder, making only two payments of $100, the last one in September.
Vittone said he never approved the charge and that it had been approved by an assistant district attorney, Josh Carroll.
He said he has spoken to Carroll and will conduct "an immediate and thorough review of the case and the procedures that led to the filing of the charges."
Kepics, a former Monongahela city councilman who was elected mayor in 2008, is an electrician who said his income is only $1,400 a month.

You raise some very important issues that we probably should bring up for discussion at the meetings we'll be having this fall. However, in the meantime, I want to respond to a couple of the items your raised:
1. Agreed that the interop metaphor is incomplete for education. I suppose that explains why I have taken to describing the concept as a means of thinking about the different components of an educational event and about what is generic and what is specific to a certain audience in a certain location and time. If we can somehow describe what interoperability might be for education, we might find it easier to compose shareable materials in such a way that it is easier to customize them--making clear, for example, what are the generic portions and what has been localised.
2. I have always been very careful, though perhaps not clear enough, to put interoperable education in the context of all kinds of education, not just web-based and/or distance learning. There is nothing that says the concept is not as relevant for the teacher planning classroom instruction as for distance learning situations. The issue is simply one of discovering and using the full range of now available educational materials, sharing the knowledge and expertise of our colleagues worldwide. It does not have to be directly related to the use of technology in education, though I believe that the educational experience can be enhanced by it. Perhaps we need to be explicit about the difference between educating and learning. My focus has always been on enabling the teacher. They are the ones who must decide what is best for their students, not outsiders.
So clearly, there's plenty more for discussion here. It raises very useful questions and issues we ought to pursue.

I've been resisting the BBU for over a year. This thread started me thinking about it all over again since I already have the FireLite SUL-900 that it fits into perfectly. Yes, I broke down and ordered it from Fritz. This is my birthday present from my wife.

Jonathan - You win the comment of the day competition.Agreed, I almost spit my beer out! I'm glad I was able to inspire people to part with their cash. Fritz builds one hell of a piece of gear. You will not be disappointed.
I gave up my zipstove after it continually ticked off my hiking partners. They didn't like the smoke. The soot was kind of a PIA too.
I had a hard time with Dan's photo of that brand new Tibetian pot on the wood fire.The BBU has been a delight when I can use it. I don't think I could bring myself, however, to desecrate a brand new titanium pot with dirty soot.
I don't think I could bring myself, however, to desecrate a brand new titanium pot with dirty soot.That's the beauty though, after the first time, it's not new anymore. What's worse is that the BushBuddy is d@mn near a work of art, and there is no way around making it all dirty as soon as you use it.
is the toughest to get over:
Edited by johnk on 03/22/2009 17:12:05 MDT.
Jonathon- I love it! A present... sometimes you just need to... um, celebrate... life?!
BB Ultra is in...4.75 oz135g:DIt's pretty, but I know it wants to get dirty ;)
Jonathan - your weight is the same as mine. I guess the 5.1 ounce spec is no longer accurate. Don't be shy, stick in your wood and get dirty! ;)
On my way to lighten my load, and due to some unfortunate incident with my Trangia, I decided to get the Tibetan Titanium 1100 as a new pot, and will also order a BB Ultra. I have a question though: Do you also use the Tibetan Titanium with other heating systems, eg TD Caldera Cone?http://www.ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/trail_designs_caldera_cone_stove_for_msr_titan_kettle.htmlIf yes, do they fit nicely into the TT?
Edited by skullmonkey on 04/14/2009 03:37:39 MDT.
I made a shorty pepsi stove that weighs .3 ounces and a windscreen that weighs .6 ounces. The setup uses the BushBuddy pot stand as the stand. The stove fits in the BushBuddy easily for storage, and the windscreen nests between the BushBuddy and the TT 1100. I have a small 8 ounce capacity alcohol container that weighs .5 ounces, so if I want I can add in alcohol capability for only 1.5 ounces plus the amount of fuel I decide to bring. This would likely be used in the event that it was raining and I was tired and hungry. I just threw it together a few days ago, so I've only used it in my little workshop. I haven't decided if I'll actually bring it much or not.I can post pictures this evening if you're interested in it.
The BushBuddy cleans up nice in the dishwasher. The sooty pot? That's a different problem ;-)
Edited by samurai on 04/15/2009 07:52:02 MDT.
Dan, photos would be great =) I have been experimenting with making my own stove last week, so if you can post a link to the one you made I could get started on that asap (drunk already a beer yesterday in expectation of this =).Do you think the TD Caldera Cone would fit in the whole mix? Or is it too big?
I finally did further testing with some alcohol stoves I had made to pair with the BushBuddy. I found the best I was able to do was boil 2 cups of cold water on 2/3 ounce of alcohol. It took about 5:20 to do this. After about 40 seconds more, it finished running. 1/2 ounce was not able to boil 2 cups of cold water, but would boil 2 cups of room temperature water.The finished stove and windscreen weigh a combined .75 ounces (.25 stove and .5 windscreen). The stove is tiny - only 1 inch tall and made from Red Bull sized energy drink cans. Maximum capacity is only one ounce. I think I could probably boil 3 cups, but it would be close and dependent on water temp.It's so short because the BushBuddy pot stand isn't very tall and you need enough room for the flame between the stove and the pot. Here are a few pictures.Pot on stand with stove and windscreen:Pot on stand with stove burning:The alcohol stove, windscreen, BushBuddy Ultra, Firesteel, and pill bottle with 40 vaseline soaked cotton ball tinders all fits in the TT 1100:Tiny 1" stove compared to my normal Red Bull stove (haven't brushed the print off yet):
Dan - thanks for the pics.You've inspired me to try the MBD SSBIT alcohol stove w/ the BBU to see if it works also...when I get some time. I took advantage of the exchange rate a couple of weeks ago too. It arrived swiftly and I was pleased to discover that the Bushbuddy Ultra fits just right inside of my old MSR Titan Kettle w/ the lid upside down. It will need a rubber band, strap, or sack to keep the lid on - I think it's only appropriate to get a Cuben fiber ditty bag from zpacks.com for this set up!My Bushbuddy set up weights are as follows: Stove = 4.7 oz.MSR Titan w/ lid = 4.3 oz.Total = 9 oz.
I read this thread a while back. Besides the banter being pretty darn amusing I was also impressed with how much you guys really liked this stove. It's safe to say the Bushbuddy has practically developed a cult! So I finally pulled the trigger on an Ultra yesterday and a BPL SUL-1100 pot to boot. I would have jumped on board a couple years ago but I was concerned about the soot being messy and it being a hassle to keep stuff clean. So have you BB owners found the soot to be a non-issue now that you've been cooking with it for a while? If it is an issue how have you been dealing with it? Does the smoke smell migrate to clothes, food and other stuff in your pack?Thanks for the help!Gordon
Gordon, I got myself a BBU and a TT 1100 pot in May and have been it using on every trip so far. I pack the BBU in the TT pot and in the orange mesh bag, and then in a small plastic bag to avoid any soot getting into my backpack. My TT pot is covered from top to bottom in soot, and I haven't yet bothered to clean it off. For me its a non-issue, although it can be a bit annoying to get soot on your hands if on the trail. Concerning the smoke, I seem to attract the smoke as wherever I sit down the wind will change its direction to blow the smoke towards me =) So the cloths I am wearing smell a bit of smoke, though it doesn't bother me. If you would practice a "cook on the trail an hour before you find a campsite" approach I am sure you could be able to get minimal smoke smell into your gear, or you just pack your gear at camp there where the wind doesn't blow. Finally, I find the BBU does produce only a limited amount of smoke at all, so depending on the wood you're burning it could be non-existent. I hope that answers your questions. Have fun with your BBU and let us know you like it!

A number of people gathered at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas on Saturday to protest against the use of spy drones by the U.S. government against American citizens.
Infowars.com organized the World's First Drone Mob drone protest.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced there may be 30,000 drones over American skies by 2020, and now Congress is actually pushing the FAA to hand drone oversight to the Department of Homeland Security.
Alex has announced a $1000.00 prize for the best drone video filmed at the event.
Participants will have two weeks to upload their videos to YouTube for consideration.

Argos' announcement that it is to open its first smaller convenience store in Cricklewood later this month, with plans for up to 35 outlets, further demonstrates the flexibility which has underpinned the retailer's successful multi-channel, multi-format strategy. But, with competition from the likes of Tesco and Asda heating up, Argos faces a more challenging future.
Argos will develop its Indian operation through a franchise agreement with a joint venture company formed by K Raheja Corporation's Shopper's Stop and HyperCITY retail divisions. Moving into overseas markets could not come at a better time for the retailer as it reaches saturation point and faces stiff competition from grocers in the UK.
Consumers could reject monthly subscription beauty sample boxes for their initial high cost compared to a one-off inexpensive treat, or may end up relying on them, reducing store footfall. However, benefits such as a wider brand awareness and customer base, alongside a high profit margin, mean that retailers could bolster their position in a relatively stable market by adopting this tactic.
Despite fears of a slowdown in sales on Britain's high streets, the British Retail Consortium has reported that total retail sales in December 2005 were 6% up on the year before, the best result for any month since May 2004. However these figures should be treated with some caution as they do not account for the myriad exceptional factors influencing Christmas trading this year.
GUS has reported underlying annual pre-tax profits of GBP829 million, down 9% from last year, as its Argos Retail Group (ARG) suffered a 38.9% profit decline in a difficult home retail sector. However, with profitable credit rating agency Experian about to be demerged, how well placed is ARG to prosper in a challenging retail environment?
Findel has reported that its school supplies unit outperformed its home shopping unit for the first time last year. A government policy of increased spending on schools and a sales uplift from two acquisitions should bring the company benefits, but the uncertainty of demand from its target customers make its future prospects unpredictable.
GUS announced mixed results from its two divisions yesterday ahead of its scheduled demerger in October. Although GUS' retail arm - Argos Retail Group (ARG) - has delivered a sterling performance during the first quarter of this year, it masks considerable variations between its two retail businesses, Argos and Homebase.
Home Retail Group's third quarter results demonstrate an improvement in profitability, with Argos' sales up 4.3%, although sales at sister chain Homebase fell 0.2%. However, the challenge to grow sales in 2007 will be extremely difficult, for Argos in particular. It faces tough comparatives and strengthened competition from Tesco Direct - which increases the need to look overseas to drive sales.
Home Retail Group's maiden interim results provided little in the way of surprises. Argos continues to post healthy sales increases, while Homebase grapples with a difficult trading environment in DIY. Argos is expected to generate robust sales growth over the key festive season, but there is concern over the future profitability of HRG as it faces intense competition on several fronts.
Home Retail Group, owner of Argos and Homebase, has reported a pre-tax loss of GBP437m for the 26 weeks to August 30, after taking an exceptional charge of GBP549m related chiefly to a write-down in Homebase's value. With the group particularly exposed to the housing market downturn and facing increasing competition from Asda and Tesco, trading conditions are set to become even more challenging.

Swagbucks: Search and Win 5 Collector Bills
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Monday, June 3rd, 2013 at 10:33 am.
Swagbucks has a new set of Collector's Bills celebrating their hometown of Los Angeles! There are 5 bills (each depicting a different part of SoCal life) winnable through Search only! Get all 5 bills before Tuesday, June 11th, and you'll get an automatic 10 Swag Buck Bonus! You can see which Bills you've won and which ones you still need by looking at "Collector's Bills" in the My Swag Bucks area of your account.
Not yet a Swagbucks members?! Head on over here to sign up and you'll start off with 30 Swag Bucks!
8 Hip Readers Commented
And, everyone remember, the Swagbucks computer switches to the new day at midnight PST so if you wake in the middle of the night after that you can search and get sb. When I do I often get a higher amount–once I got 56sb. It's just an extra chance to get them.
I am fairly new to Swagbucks and I see the Collectors bills but how are you supposed to search for them? Can anybody help?!
You go to their home page and search as you normally would. If you get lucky, a collector bill will pop up. Just don't search too quickly, as this can get you disqualified. In other words, don't keep clicking and clicking search results in an effort to get a search win. I learned that the hard way.
search through swagbucks correct? but what do you search.. for example, flyaway for the first one? and then click on results
Whenever you get a search win, for any search, there's a good chance it will be a collectors bill. However you may get the same ones multiple times.
Yes, you go to SBs home page and search for anything, like "how to get sap off car paint", the name of a movie, info about actors, or anything you want information on. You can ask a question about medical stuff, or anything else.
You enter something to search, click "search", and click search result (if you are really interested in the search). I mainly search just for search wins, but not too fast! So, throughout the day, if you need to search for something, search for it on SBs. I leave their homepage open and go back to search when I have a few mins.
I would love it if someone would go through my link. Thanks
For 5 Swag Bucks by 12pm PDT (3pm EDT) enter EmpowerWomen under the Swag Code Safe Icon.

Spafford The Spafford Town Board meeting on Thursday, Dec. 8, covered several agenda items, including bonding for road projects, transfer station issues and hydrofracking.
After the reports from town officials ended, the board's business began with a discussion about establishing guidelines for bonding under the zoning ordinance requirements.
Town Supervisor Webb Stevens said Spafford is in "pretty good shape" on its road requirements, but he said now would be a good time to increase the town's $100,000 bond.
"[$100,000] won't even fix a quarter of a mile of road," Stevens said. "We need to see if we can get this up a little bit. A mile road is $150,000 to $200,000 just to resurface it."
Stevens suggested the board "take a look at this and change the zoning law," he said.
A motion was carried for Stevens and other board members to look into increasing the town's bond.
The issue of disposing appliances from the town's transfer station was brought up. There are approximately 28 units (refrigerators, air conditioners, and other items.) that need to be removed for the threat of Freon seeping into the ground.
Stevens reported that he made several phone calls before finding a company in Auburn willing to remove the appliances for a $12 removal fee per unit. The motion was carried to deliver the appliances to the Auburn firm for Freon removal and disposal of the units.
The contentious issue of hydrofracking also was addressed by the board.
Stevens sent copies of the current town zoning law and the 180-day moratorium on hydrofracking to the town attorney for review to "see if it needs some reinforcement," he said. "Our zoning law is a pretty good law. It's already started to address [hydrofracking]. It has got some pretty good writing in there about truck traffic and things like that."

Why oh why did I agree to this....
Working on a Sunday in an empty office - before you ask to manage crane lifts at our site all day -
The sun is shining, definately a shorts only day. Beautiful, inviting country roads, catching up with teh MAMIL'S further along the road, my mind is trying to depress me with these thoughts even more so as I am desk bound. Not even a hope of getting out today.
Wishing all you Sunday riders a gloriously long and safe day - You Lucky sods.
I've just got back from doing Caerphilly Mountain and it certainly wasn't "shorts only" at the top of that! 5 degrees C and windchill. Was great to do it as it was my second attempt and first successful.
Just have to ask: what does MAMIL stand for?

Hey DJgorey
I know a bit of Caerphilly as my bro live in Cardiff - we off road up that a bit, (new to me route called 'magic') is just what it says Magic .. but those climbs are brutal. Not had a go on my road bike though...
MAMIL - Middle aged man in Lycra - a term I have seen on forums in the alst couple of years... I may be edgeing towards being called one though I always where MTB shorts over the top.
THere is only bad choice of clothing, not bad weather. MTFU and get out there and ride.
A little mantra for me in the winter months

Yeah they used Caerphilly Mountain as part of the Welsh stage of the Tour of Britain although I suspect they went up it quicker than I did! I did have to stop for breath a couple of times, but it is 25% in places!
The descent was fun too - 37.8mph apparently, but I couldn't see as the windchill made my eyes water so much I couldn't see where I was going!
I'm quickly coming up to becoming a MAMIL too - got another decade before I it properly, but it's there on the horizon!
Going up the Cardiff side on the way out was the first time since I got my bike 2 1/2 years ago that I hit that point where the only two things in my head were the hill and the pain in my legs. Epic!

J/22 Upgrade - $100
The PayPal cart will open in a new window, however you can continue shopping and items will automatically be added.
The J/22 Upgrade gives you access to our fleet of nine J/22s, in addition to the Rhodes 19s, for just $100 more. While we all love the Rhodes 19, there comes a time when you want to sail in a higher gear. The J/22 is a fast and highly responsive keelboat, built for speed and performance. You must pass an on-the-water J/22 checkout in order to sail them.
Guest Pass - $50
When combined with a membership, a guest pass allows you to take as many guests sailing with you as many times as you'd like for a one-time fee of $50/season. Generally, a Rhodes-19 or J/22 can fit one skipper and 3-4 guests safely at one time.

Members who purchase the optional damage waiver are released from financial responsibility for physical damage to Courageous boats in their care and custody, so long as it is not caused by the Member's negligence or intentional conduct, violation of the Courageous Sailing Agreement & General Release and Membership Terms & Conditions, failure to stay clear of other boats and obstacles, or running aground.

A One-Day membership gives you access to Boston's inner harbor, and can last for a few hours or the whole day--it's up to you!

"Pulled this one out of your butt huh."I thought it might be easier for you to understand that way."So if I live in a racially homogeneous part of the country, my education will be poor? We should all move to CA?"Not the point. The point is that a homeschooled kid, no matter how good their education, will likely have to function as an adult in a society where an increasing percentage of the population does not look, speak, or think like them, not mention having to deal with people even more different in a globalized world. Like learning a language, this is a part of their education best started early. "This from the US Department of Education for 2003 "Many of the 2003 survey findings concerning homeschooling rates by student and familycharacteristics paralleled those found in 1999. In 2003, as in 1999, the homeschooling rate forWhite students (2.7 percent) was higher than for Black students (1.3 percent) or Hispanic students(0.7 percent) (table 2)."nces.ed.gov/pubs2006/2006042.pdf Hardly approaching 100% - 2.7% White vs 2% people of color."You are deceptively applying your percentages to far smaller numbers of Black and Hispanic students. The numbers I got from a 2007 NCES report were: White = 3.9%; Black = .8%; Hispanic = 1.5%; Other = 3.4%. This in itself doesn't tell the whole story, however. Further googling produced the following numbers: The number of K-12 students is ~50 million; 58%(29 million) are White; 20%(10 million) are Hispanic; 15%(7.5 million) are Black. The percentages above applied to these numbers yield the following numbers of homeschooled by race/ethnicity: ~ 1,113,000(~75%) Whites; ~150,000(~10%) Hispanics; ~65,000(4%) Blacks. The remainder is spread over ill defined groups not germaine to our discussion. I was off in my nearly 100% assertion and will remind myself to be more precise in future, but the fact remains homeschooled children are overwhelmingly White from predominantly rural and suburban areas also predominantly white, probably not being prepared to enter an increasingly non-white society.I appreciate your concerns about the sorry state of our public education system, and I share your concerns. However, I am also concerned about the future cohesiveness of our country as a whole, and the public school system has historically played an integrative role, bringing people from all walks of life together at an early age. It started to break down in the 60's, I believe, but I also believe it can be repaired. We cannot afford to self segregate ourselves again. From that point of view I do not believe homeschooling is a good idea, no matter how well the children are taught(and I am skeptical of this but offer no proof). There are also other options that can bring kids together with others of different backgrounds, charter schools and private schools to name two. If affordability is a problem, let the government provide vouchers or other financial aid, but don't give up the opportunity to integrate. Long term, we must repair the public school system, but in the meantime there are other options. OK folks, that's it. I can feel the flames licking at my feet already. ;}
I'm sure there's an explanation for the wordwide explosion in archeological finds of this type.... Like the body from the glacier in Italy nearly in Austria that was what 8000 years old. Can't be global warming.Anyway it's interesting on it's own merits.http://qmackie.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/yellowstone-ice-patch-atlatl-dart/For those who follow southwestern and "anasazi" archaeology this is a GREAT blog: http://gamblershouse.wordpress.com/PS I agree with Tom and would go further. Supporting public education is YOUR obligation as a citizen. It is a responsibility that should be considered a sacred duty.Not supporting public education is like F-bombing the whole idea of a democratic republic where all people are created equal.The link from the link is even better: http://www.colorado.edu/news/r/6f01e0cf192c909927c88da29caafdd8.html

It just does.This isn't to say it's always the worst option. Nothing is *always* anything. But it's difficult to see how most parents are equipped to teach AP Calculus, History, English, Chemistry, and Physics. It's just not realistic for most. Also, home school kids tend to be socially retarded. Sorry, just the way it is. Sociology has discovered that social development at a YOUNG AGE is very important, and much like learning a language, once you are past a certain age, your ability to learn social skills with ease is dramatically reduced. This of course doesn't mean that all home schooled kids will be socially retarded. The diversity point is interesting, but far from the most obvious problems with home schooling. If your area schools are so terrible, a better option is probably moving.
I think you're missing one of the points David was making -- home schooling doesn't necessarily mean home schooling from K-13. It could be for a year, and could provide a tremendous benefit to a young, inquisitive mind, without retarding social growth, without the need to teach AP Calculus or Physics, etc. etc. It could give a struggling child the (temporary) extra attention s/he needs to excel. It's obviously not the best solution in all, or probably even the majority, of cases, but it's an excellent solution for some children at some point in their educational career. As I'm fond of saying, the world ain't black and white. It ain't even a single shade of grey.....
Gotcha, Doug. Good points.
Hey,If I don't home school my kids, I run the risk of them growing up not thinking and believing exactly like me.This is not acceptable.(Opens padlock to underground bunker with one bare light bulb and homemade chalkboard.)
All of you make excellent points about the efficacy and practicality of Home Schooling and to some degree or by extension private education.What interests me is the reconciliation of civic ethics along with or as well as Christian principles and private education or home schooling. How can you be either a good citizen or a practicing believer and advocate for or practice home-schooling or private primary education?
"As I'm fond of saying, the world ain't black and white. It ain't even a single shade of grey....."There you go again, muddying the water. ;}
"There you go again, muddying the water. ;}"That's okay, I've got a filter, I can fix it!

"> Where's your proof that woolly mammoths are extinct? I think we have some in Canberra...CheersI have been called lots of things but a "woolly mammoth"I hope you are talking about our federal politicians.Tony in Canberra"Not to worry, apparently there's a new monitoring station at Canberra airport, away from the old one, which is going to blow open the global warming conspiracy.p.s., my wife used to live in Kingston opposite Telopea Park so I used to visit regularly.
I can see a lot of ground has been covered on some pretty wide ranging topics since I last visited. :-)"Not to worry, apparently there's a new monitoring station at Canberra airport, away from the old one, which is going to blow open the global warming conspiracy."It's the raw data from long lived stations which has blown open the shoddy condition of the 'adjusted' temperature record.Like this one in Arizona:http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/07/10/raising-arizona/It would be funny if it wasn't so serious.
> humans have over-populated and exploited this planet to breaking point, and it's not just climateRoger Caffin responded:I will keep RogT happy and profess an open mind still on the details of climate change. There is still a lot of interpretation required there. And, we can adapt.But, as Lynn wrote, there are other bigger problems looming for the human race, and the supply of fresh water is one of the most extreme. Many countries are depleting their subterranean aquifers so fast that they will lose much of their agriculture in the next few decades. What will India and China do then? Not to mention some areas of the USA?Hurray for some sense of priority and proportion. Thank you Roger C.This is what I've been saying all along. There are more important things to worry about which are more readily quantifiable, and solveable, if we were to re-direct the money being poured down the global warming rabbit hole...More evidential support is emerging for the galactic cosmic ray theory of cloud formation.http://calderup.wordpress.com/2010/06/18/star-positions-matter/The Gaia satellite due for launch in 2012 should bring better resolution data, to be processed by 2020...These things take time.
I'd hate to see this thread die before it reaches 100 pages ;)Sea otters worth $700 million in carbon credits 17:38 07 July 2010 by Peter Aldhous Want to slow global warming? Save a sea otter. So says Chris Wilmers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, whose team has calculated that the animals remove at least 0.18 kilograms of carbon from the atmosphere for every square metre of occupied coastal waters.That means that if sea otters were restored to healthy populations along the coasts of North America they could collectively lock up a mammoth 1010 kg of carbon – currently worth more than $700 million on the European carbon-trading market. Wilmers explained this at the annual meeting of the Society for Conservation Biology in Edmonton, Canada, this month.The figures are part of a growing realisation that predators play a crucial ecological role, promoting the growth of vegetation by controlling herbivore populations. Just as wolves benefit trees and shrubs by killing deer, sea otters allow the luxuriant growth of kelp by consuming sea urchins.In former kelp forests that have lost their otters, Wilmers says, "all you are left with is piles of urchins and very little else".Sink sizingTo estimate the minimum size of the carbon sink that could be provided by sea otters in North America, Wilmers and his colleagues determined the total available habitat for kelp – rocky reefs in up to 20 metres of water – and summed the amount of carbon that would be locked up in kelp either if no otters were present, or if the animals were present throughout in populations sufficient to control sea-urchin numbers.The true size of the sink is likely to be larger than the calculated 1010 kg, Wilmers suggests, as some carbon drawn from the atmosphere by kelp forests may find its way into the deep ocean and be sequestered for long periods.The exact size of historical sea otter populations, before they were nearly wiped out by hunting for fur in the 18th and 19th centuries, is uncertain. But after bouncing back from the brink, the animals are now in decline once again in parts of their range. In Alaska, for example, populations have dropped from up to 125,000 in the 1970s to around 70,000 today – possibly due to a rise in killer whale populations.The new calculations provide an added incentive to protect sea otters, but do terrestrial predators provide a comparable carbon sink? No calculations have yet been done, but Wilmers believes the numbers could be similarly impressive. As a result of the loss of wolves across most of their former habitat, he points out, deer populations in parts of North America are currently around five times as high as historical levels, dramatically changing vegetation.Dense woodsPredators are not the only large animals that help create carbon sinks, suggests Jedediah Brodie at the University of Montana in Missoula. In October 2009 in Science (vol 326, p 364), he argued that hunting in forests for bushmeat removes fruit-eating animals, reducing the numbers of trees that rely on them to disperse their seeds. Because these trees tend to have denser wood than those with smaller seeds that rely on wind for dispersal, the net result will be a decrease in the amount of carbon stored by a forest.Some ecologists remain to be convinced by his argument (Science, vol 327, p 30), but Brodie is now crunching the numbers using measurements of the growth of saplings in two Peruvian forests – one heavily hunted and one with an intact fauna – plus data on the density of wood from different species.Merely protecting a forest from logging isn't enough to ensure that it functions properly as a carbon sink, Brodie says. "You've also got to be concerned about the large animals."
We (the earth) just had the warmest June on record ever, despite the low solar flare activity. Sure looks like that terrible cold spell Rog has been warning about hasn't really panned out.
Hi Lynn>lock up a mammoth 1010 kg of carbonum ... you know, that's just 1 ton of carbon. Not worth $700M surely. Are you missing some sort of prefix somewhere?Cheers

To Lynn and Roger">lock up a mammoth 1010 kg of carbonum ... you know, that's just 1 ton of carbon. Not worth $700M surely. Are you missing some sort of prefix somewhere?"I think it should read 10^10 kg, i.e. 10 million tons.Rolf

Mary A. LaPlante
NORTH PROVIDENCE - Mary A. LaPlante (Harkness), 59, longtime resident of North Providence, passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 10th at The Village at Waterman Lake, after a long battle with Multiple Sclerosis. She was the wife of the late Robert J. A. LaPlante, who predeceased her in 1984. Mary was the daughter, and best friend of Teresa J. Harkness and the late Normand L. Harkness, Sr. of Lincoln. She was an RN for the City of Cranston Family Planning and WIC Program for many years before her affliction caused an early retirement.
She is survived by and was the proud mother of two daughters, Stephanie and Kimberly. The oldest, Stephanie Harrison resides in Centennial, Colorado with her husband Christopher and their children Hunter and Oceannah. Stephanie followed her mom into nursing and is the Burn and Trauma Program Manager at Children's Hospital of Colorado. The youngest, her eternal buddy Kimberly, though developmentally disabled, lived at home for many years with Mary until moving to the ARC of Blackstone Valley in Pawtucket, just a few short years ago.
Mary is also survived by her siblings, Normand L. Harkness Jr. and his wife Barbara, of Esmond; Paul Harkness and his wife Deborah, of Lincoln; Elizabeth Pryor and her husband Joel, of Daytona Beach, FL; William Harkness of Mount Pleasant, SC; and her "baby brother" Christopher Harkness and his wife Michelle, of North Scituate.
While she had many nieces and nephews, she would often be found in the company of her niece Kristen Boulay of Pascoag, and her son (and Mary's great nephew) Liam, or she would be with her brother's family in North Scituate, playing the Wii with Alexandra, Thomas, Samantha and Daniela. But, her favorite pastime of all was playing blackjack at Foxwoods Casino. She enjoyed gambling with her mother and her beloved Aunt, and Winter Mom, Ann Johnston, or playing cards at her kitchen table. She was an avid New England sports fan, whom enjoyed taunting a Red Sox victory over her Yankee rooting mom and siblings.
Mary graduate from Lincoln High School in 1972. She was a 1983 Magna Cum Laude graduate of Rhode Island College, receiving a double major in Psychology and Nursing. She also went on to study Criminology at Roger Williams College in the 1980s.
For 20+ years she courageously battled the debilitation of MS as it slowly and steadily took her liberties and capabilities away, prompting Mary to donate her body to The Brown University Medical School, with hopes that they may use it to help find a cure or better understand the disease.
There will be no wake, but, the Reverend Father Bernard Lavin, Pastor of St. Jude's Church and longtime family friend will preside at a Memorial Mass to be held at St. Jude's Church, 301 Front St., in Lincoln, on Saturday, November 16th at 11am.

Exercise Prevents Dementia
Exercise is good for long-term health, including maintaining brain function of risk of dementia.
There are also short-term benefits ie. boost stamina in the brain to think fast so as not to experience mental fatigue.
At the cellular level, this benefit is actually not much different from the increase in muscle stamina. Various previous studies showed that exercise can stimulate the formation of energy-producing mitochondria in the cells that make muscles grow stronger.
Now, a recent study conducted at the University of South California showed that the same mechanism also occurs in brain cells. Regular exercise can stimulate the formation of mitochondria, so the brain has the stamina doubled.
In the long run, since the first exercise is often associated with dementia risk prevention, especially for Alzheimer's disease. Now more and more experts believe that the benefits associated with the formation of energy-producing mitochondria or at cellular level.
Interestingly, this benefit is not only felt for such a long term in preventing premature senility, but can also be felt in the short term. Shortly after the exercise, the brain becomes more alert and not prone to mental fatigue.
The existence of short-term benefits of exercise is evidenced in the group of mice, who were told to exercise for some time and brain cells were observed in the laboratory. These experiments not possible in humans, because the brain must be dissected out of the head.

The 'Queen of the Night' Relief
Old Babylonian, 1800-1750 BC
From southern Iraq
A major acquisition for the British Museum's 250th anniversary
This large plaque is made of baked straw-tempered clay, modelled in high relief. The figure of the curvaceous naked woman was originally painted red. She wears the horned headdress characteristic of a Mesopotamian deity and holds a rod and ring of justice, symbols of her divinity. Her long multi-coloured wings hang downwards, indicating that she is a goddess of the Underworld. Her legs end in the talons of a bird of prey, similar to those of the two owls that flank her. The background was originally painted black, suggesting that she was associated with the night. She stands on the backs of two lions, and a scale pattern indicates mountains.
The figure could be an aspect of the goddess Ishtar, Mesopotamian goddess of sexual love and war, or Ishtar's sister and rival, the goddess Ereshkigal who ruled over the Underworld, or the demoness Lilitu, known in the Bible as Lilith. The plaque probably stood in a shrine.
The same goddess appears on small, crude, mould-made plaques from Babylonia from about 1850 to 1750 BC. Thermoluminescence tests confirm that the 'Queen of the Night' relief was made between 1765 and 45 BC.
The relief may have come to England as early as 1924, and was brought to the British Museum in 1933 for scientific testing. It has been known since its publication in 1936 in the Illustrated London News as the Burney Relief, after its owner at that time. Until 2003 it has been in private hands. The Director and Trustees of the British Museum decided to make this spectacular terracotta plaque the principal acquisition for the British Museum's 250th anniversary.

|Good call, Mike - almost a textbook example. That block sure does rock back & forth! I'm going to guess that it's fairly well wedged in there, though - it sure has seen a lot of traffic. But I still wouldn't be pulling out on it!

|i didn't think that block was too bad (although i DEFINITELY wasn't yarding outward like that, yikes...). i thought the pancake flake above was a bit unsettling as it was hard to not pull out a bit on it.

Well, the block fell out---fortunately not while someone was yarding on it as in this picture. The fact that it just went one day confirms that the warnings about not pulling on it were justified. Thank god no one got hurt.
Meanwhile, this photo is going to go into the Annals of How Not to Climb on Real Rock.
