Notes on Stendhal, via Sebald, Beckett et al.
Sebald chooses soldier, lover and would-be writer Marie-Henri Beyle to open the first section of Vertigo. He never mentions him by his better known pen-name Stendhal, nor does he reveal that his 'essay' and photographs are drawn from Stendhal's fictionalised autobiography La Vie de Henri … Continue reading

Reading Nietzsche Through Walter Kaufmann
Since I was seventeen I've read Nietzsche. I can no longer recall what I read first, probably the yellowing Thus Spake Zarathustra, annotated in two different pens, that still sits on my bookshelf. Nietzsche understands teenagers. He speaks to their complexity … Continue reading

There are some of his images that I don't recall viewing even though I know I did because I have read his books over and over. They just don't strike me. I got 400 Images for Christmas and there is one image in the 40's section of a meadow below Mt Ansel Adams (fitting) that is the most impactful new image (to me) that I have seen from AA's vaults in a long time. Amazing. His work can still move me to building a cabin in the wilderness of my mind just to be there. (You all know what I mean.)
Thanks for the words and the reads everybody.

The coach claims (without evidence) that it was a glass ceiling. Thus, we have proven there is a glass ceiling!! Maybe you're being held back by your inability to recognize begging the question. Because it could have just been a savvy negotiator with leverage holding out for more money and a better title.
Reneging after accepting an offer in order to get a better deal is not the sign of a "savvy negotiator," it's a sign of bad faith negotiation.
Gosh this article saddens me. I know there's bias, but this anecdote doesn't prove it at all. Disappointing. If the author wants to chat, google me. I host Manager Tools, and we are virulently anti-discrimination...but I don't think this helps. :-/
You gave up your job for a guy whose first action with your company was to prove he couldn't be trusted. Why would you do that?
Even within an amazing culture, I realize that these issues can just arise organically and subconsciously — in this case, during the hiring process. Meebo's culture was amazing through-and-through and even beyond gender, building a diverse working culture means rethinking our personal views and assumptions. That's never easy and I have no ill will. When you're no longer the right person for the role, you move on so others can continue the good work.
I've posted a few more clarifications here too: http://www.ewherry.com/2013/10/follow-up/
The article doesn't support the claim of gender bias. A prospective employee reneged on a contract signed in good faith only to renegotiate for a better package that they didn't get the first time around. What did skills and experience was this individual supposed to bring that would justify a second round of negotiations?
Seems like basic trust was lost when the original offer was accepted and tossed aside. As a hiring manager, I would be skeptical of retaining that employee and would expect demands and threats to leave if the situation didn't suit them. That is not a gender problem. It is an individual integrity problem.
How on earth does on person reneging on a contract prove gender bias? The only thing this demonstrates is that if you're a woman you can always blame bad things happening to you on 'discrimination'.
I can't say I'm shocked, but I am dismayed by the series of attacks on the author of this thoughtful post. Many of the commenters strike me as decidedly male--"stop whining, little woman, buck up." It's the same as those who argue against affirmative action--"there isn't any racial bias in the workplace! they're just not as qualified." Is it so difficult for us as a society acknowledge that there are hurdles for women in a male-dominated workplace? Particularly in Silicon Valley, which is dominated by tech, ergo dominated by men. It's a matter of perception, networks, and culture. How many company networking events with clients happen at sports games vs. the spa? How many start-ups put in their hiring recs that they're looking for "rock stars" and "ninjas;" decidedly male descriptions. There are indeed limitations for women; and denying them by attacking this author and whether or not she is justified in her assessment is not constructive or encouraging. I applaud Elaine for furthering the dialogue.
This article is sad, naive and just a little pathetic. What? You are in the Silicon Valley so gender bias doesn't exist? Has the air become so rarified there that men and women play by different rules? Instead of surrounding yourself with young -- or old -- boys, get some savvy, experienced women around you and build the team. When we cease being our own worst enemy, we will have a seat at the table and we will celebrate -- because we believe -- we add value.
It's not easy to change your way of thinking, and I applaud you for that. I, too, used to roll my eyes at the concept of gender bias and discrimination. I thought Affirmative Action was ridiculous. *I* certainly didn't want to be hired based on anything other than my work.
Until it happened to me.
AAAHHH, forget the glass ceiling, how about business maturity!?!?
This has nothing to do with gender and everything to do with not being a leader. It does take 'balls' or chutzpah to run a company, it's not for meek mild gentle people of either gender.
I was a female pioneer in technology starting in the 1970s, so it's not as if I wasn't in your shoes. Everyone experiences some kind of discrimination whether it's colour or gender or whatever, put on your big girl or boy panties and deal with it and stop perpetuating this myth!
Yes, there is an old boys network but there is also a really powerful new girls one!
The subsequent time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one.

F*ckin' tremendous issues here. I am very glad to peer your article. Thanks so much and i am looking ahead to contact you. Will you please drop me a e-mail?

F*ckin' remarkable issues here. I'm very happy to look your article. Thanks so much and i'm looking forward to contact you. Will you please drop me a e-mail?

Celebrity makeup artist Fiona Stiles, as told to The Hollywood Reporter: "I usually recommend skipping eye cream in the daytime because you'll look like a raccoon by lunchtime, but this one sinks right in and gets to work without leaving your eye a greasy mess. This is the only eye cream I'll use for red carpet events, because I know I can trust it not to make the eye makeup smudge."

"I got a sample of Kahina's eye cream and couldn't believe how SMOOTH and soft it was!"
"I've been using it for a few weeks and I feel especially dewy."
"Kahina's eye cream is really a godsend. It goes on so silky, and moisturizes my tired eyes immediately. I give it a chance to completely dry before I apply foundation under my eyes, but when I do, it goes on smooth and evenly. I guarantee it has turned back the clock around my eyes."

Israel's next governing coalition will lead a country that is prosperous and militarily strong but faces security, economic, and social challenges. Five experts weigh in on the country's policy priorities.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress last week was described here and there as "maximalist"—meaning, he insisted on the best imaginable terms for any agreement with Iran about its nuclear program. Because "Maximalist" is the title of my book on U.S. foreign policy since World War II, people have asked me whether Bibi's approach isn't the one the United States used for its own tough negotiations.

Madigan Army Medical Center participates in Denim Day
April 26, 2013
JOINT BASE LEWIS-McCHORD, Wash. - During her first driving lesson, a 45-year-old driving instructor in Rome raped an 18-year-old girl. The Italian Supreme Court overturned his conviction on the grounds that the act must have been consensual because her jeans were so tight she must have helped remove them.
The day after the 1998 ruling, Italian women wore denim jeans and carried signs that read "Jeans: An alibi for rape." Every year after, countless people from around the world wear jeans to protest the court's decision.
On April 24, staff at Madigan Army Medical Center, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., held its first Denim Day event in an effort to prevent sexual harassment and assaults by raising awareness.
The Madigan staff encouraged the JBLM community to get involved with the event as well by donating denim jeans, some of which were displayed with clothespins on four long ropes, strung across Madigan's medical mall.
"We want patients, soldiers and employees to ask, 'why are those jeans hanging up there?' " said Sgt. 1st Class Joshua Paulette, sexual assault response coordinator, Madigan. "Visually, it allows us to showcase what we're doing as an organization and for Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention in general."
Showing her support by wearing denim jeans, Staff Sgt. Madylene Fingerle, an operations noncommissioned officer at Madigan, said she had a story similar to the teenager in Rome. The police department focused more on her actions than the perpetrator after she was assaulted.
"The first thing the local police department desk sergeant asked me was if I was married," said Fingerle. "I replied that I don't understand why that matters, it was someone other than my husband that raped me."
Fingerle said that the desk sergeant then questioned her motive for making the report by replying, "Well, how do I know you're not having an affair and your husband caught you and now you're just saying it's rape so you won't have to worry about getting a divorce?"
At that point Fingerle knew she was on her own.
The Army is actively engaged in preventing similar scenarios from occurring so that sexual harassment and sexual assault incidents are not viewed and treated in contradiction to what it means to serve in the profession of arms.
The command sergeant major for Madigan Army Medical Center, Matthew Brady, said he believes the military is heading in the right direction as it shines the spotlight on sexual harassment and assault prevention.
"I absolutely believe Denim Day is going to be an ongoing event here," said Brady. "It is a reminder of where we need to get. In retrospect, we can look at where we've been. Where we've blamed people for what they wore or where they were at whatever time of night and said, 'You shouldn't have been there.' Nobody has a right to do this to you, period."
Typically, victims are afraid to come forward because they do not know about the SHARP program, Paulette said.
"It is a team effort," he added. "It's not just Madigan that is participating in these types of events this month. It's a joint effort from all tenant units on JBLM and the installation's SHARP office. We want to get the word out there to everybody that JBLM takes sexual harassment and assault very seriously."
Madigan collected and donated nearly 300 denim jeans to local charities that support victims of sexual assault.

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Cisco Visual Networking Index Forecast Projects Nearly 11-Fold Increase in Global Mobile Data Traffic from 2013 to 2018
By 2018, Nearly 5B Mobile Users and More Than 10B Mobile Devices/Connections With Faster Network Speeds & More Smart Devices Drive Mobile Video to 69 Percent of Mobile Data Traffic
SAN JOSE, Calif. – Feb. 5, 2014 – According to the Cisco® Visual Networking Index™ Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast for 2013 to 2018, worldwide mobile data traffic will increase nearly 11-fold over the next four years and reach an annual run rate of 190 exabytes by 2018. The projected increase in mobile traffic is partly due to continued strong growth in the number of mobile Internet connections, such as personal devices and machine-to-machine (M2M) connections, which will exceed 10 billion by 2018 and be 1.4 times greater than the world's population (the United Nations estimates 7.6 billion people by 2018).
*An exabyte is a unit of information or computer storage equal to one quintillion bytes or one billion gigabytes.
The Cisco VNI Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast's annual run rate of 190 exabytes of mobile data traffic for 2018 is equivalent to:
- 190 times more than all Internet Protocol (IP) traffic, fixed and mobile, generated in 2000; or
- 42 trillion images (e.g., multimedia message service or Instagram)—15 daily images per person on earth for a year; or
- 4 trillion video clips (e.g., YouTube)—more than one daily video clip per person on earth for a year.
The incremental amount of traffic being added to the mobile Internet just between 2017 and 2018 is 5.1 exabytes per month, which is more than three times the estimated size of the entire mobile Internet in 2013 (1.5 exabytes per month).
Key Global Mobile Data Traffic Drivers
From 2013 to 2018, Cisco anticipates that global mobile traffic growth will outpace global fixed traffic growth by a factor of three. The following trends are driving mobile data traffic growth:
- More mobile users: By 2018, there will be 4.9 billion mobile users, up from 4.1 billion in 2013.
- More mobile connections: By 2018, there will be more than 10 billion mobile-ready devices/connections—including eight billion personal mobile devices and two billion M2M connections, up from seven billion total mobile-ready devices and M2M connections in 2013.
- Faster mobile speeds: Average global mobile network speeds will nearly double from 1.4 Mbps in 2013 to 2.5 Mbps by 2018.
- More mobile video: By 2018, mobile video will represent 69 percent of global mobile data traffic, up from 53 percent in 2013.
Global Shift to Smarter Devices
- Globally, 54 percent of mobile connections will be "smart" connections by 2018, up from 21 percent in 2013. Smart devices and connections have advanced computing/multi-media capabilities and a minimum of 3G connectivity.
- Smartphones, laptops, and tablets will drive about 94 percent of global mobile data traffic by 2018. M2M traffic will represent five percent of 2018 global mobile data traffic while basic handsets will account for 1 percent of global mobile data traffic by 2018. Other portables will account for 0.1 percent.
- Mobile cloud traffic will grow 12-fold from 2013 to 2018, a 64 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
Impact of Machine-to-Machine Connections (and Wearable Devices)
M2M refers to applications that enable wireless and wired systems to communicate with similar devices to support global positioning satellite (GPS) navigation systems, asset tracking, utility meters, security and surveillance video. A new "wearable devices" sub-segment has been added to the M2M connections category to help project the growth trajectory of the Internet of Everything (IoE). Wearable devices include things that are worn by people such as smart watches, smart glasses, health and fitness trackers, wearable scanners with capability to connect and communicate to the network either directly via embedded cellular connectivity or through another device such as a smartphone via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
- In 2013, M2M connections represented nearly five percent of mobile-connected devices in use and generated more than one percent of total mobile data traffic
- By 2018, M2M connections will represent nearly 20 percent of mobile-connected devices in use and generate almost six percent of total mobile data traffic.
- In 2013, there were 21.7 million global wearable devices. By 2018, there will be 176.9 million global wearable devices or a 52 percent CAGR.
Impact of Faster Global Mobile Network Connection Speeds
The average mobile connection is expected to nearly double from 2013 to 2018. Mobile connection speeds are a key factor in supporting/accommodating mobile data traffic growth.

Average Smartphone
12 %
Source: Results from Cisco Global Internet Speed Test (GIST) (part of the Cisco VNI program) and other independent speed tests. The Cisco GIST application has more than one million global users. These projections include cellular connection speeds only (not Wi-Fi) and are based on extrapolations from historical mobile network connection speed data.
4G Mobile Adoption and Traffic Growth
Many global service providers are deploying 4G technologies to address consumer and business users' strong demand for wireless services and content. In many emerging markets, service providers are creating new mobile infrastructures with 4G solutions. In some mature markets, service providers are supplementing or replacing legacy 2G or 3G solutions with 4G technologies.
- By 2018, 4G connections will support 15 percent of all connections, up from 2.9 percent in 2013.
- By 2018, 4G connections will support 51 percent, or 8 exabytes per month, of total mobile data traffic, up from 30 percent, or 448 petabytes per month, in 2013.
- 4G traffic will grow 18-fold from 2013 to 2018, a 78 percent CAGR.
Wi-Fi Offload Traffic Surpasses Cellular Traffic
"Offload" refers to traffic from dual mode devices and supports cell and Wi-Fi connectivity, excluding laptops) over Wi-Fi and small cell networks. Offloading occurs at the user or device level when one switches from a cell connection to Wi-Fi and small cell access. The Cisco VNI Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast (2013-2018) mobile offload projections include traffic from public hotspots and residential Wi-Fi networks.
- More mobile data traffic will be offloaded onto Wi-Fi from mobile-connected devices (17.3 exabytes per month) than will remain on mobile networks by 2018 (15.9 exabytes per month).
- By 2018, 52 percent of global mobile traffic will be offloaded onto Wi-Fi/small cell networks, up from 45 percent in 2013.
Global Mobile Application Analysis: Video Remains on Top
Mobile video traffic will increase 14-fold from 2013 to 2018 and will have the highest growth rate of any mobile application category.
- By 2018, mobile video will be 69 percent of global mobile traffic, up from 53 percent in 2013.
- By 2018, web and other data applications will be 17 percent of global mobile traffic, down from 28 percent in 2013.
- By 2018, streaming audio will be 11 percent of global mobile traffic, down from 14 percent in 2013.
- By 2018, file sharing will be three percent of global mobile traffic, down from four percent in 2013.
Key Regional Growth Projections
In terms of mobile data traffic growth rates over the forecast period, the Middle East and Africa region is projected to have the highest regional growth rate. Below is how each of the regions ranks in terms of growth rate by 2018:
1. The Middle East and Africa will have a 70 percent CAGR and 14-fold growth;
2. Central and Eastern Europe will have a 68 percent CAGR and 13-fold growth;
3. Asia-Pacific will have a 67 percent CAGR and 13-fold growth;

I'm currently trying to understand in which cases g++ warns about uninitialized variables. Consider the following piece of code:
#include <iostream>
typedef double barType;
struct foo {
barType bar;
int main() {
foo f;
std::cout << f.bar << std::endl;
If I compile it like this I get no warning:
$ g++ -O1 -Wall test.cc -o test
but if I change barType to int:
$ g++ -O1 -Wall test.cc -o test
test.cc: In function 'int main()':
test.cc:17: warning: 'f.foo::bar' is used uninitialized in this function
How can the warning depend on the type? It is uninitialized in both cases.
I'm using:
$ g++ --version
g++ (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu9) 4.4.1

It has been written many times by secret society members that a falling share price is a good thing. Now that most of the incredible knowledge has fled to the secret board along with the owners of such knowledge, there continues to be a mystery concerning the logic behind that claim. I've decided to seek the answer to that puzzling concept, and will be actively researching all available information towards that end. I pledge to publish my findings as soon as a reasonable explanation is available.

The Senate Budget Committee approved his nomination by a 22-1 vote Thursday, but one committee member, Sen. Bernard Sanders, said he would hold up the nomination. Sanders' threat of a filibuster is enough to delay action until September at the earliest.
The committee chairman, Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., said that at least one other senator also has placed a procedural block on Nussle's nomination.
The White House had hoped Nussle, an Iowa Republican, could be confirmed quickly so he could participate in negotiations on Capitol Hill this fall over the 12 annual appropriations bills and lead the preparation of Bush's next budget. The spending plan for the budget year that begins Oct. 1, 2008, is to be submitted to Congress in February. His nomination has generated broad, bipartisan support.
"We are urging Senate Majority Leader Reid to schedule a floor vote on the president's highly qualified nominee before the Senate leaves tomorrow for the August recess," said Sean Kevelighan, spokesman for the White House budget office.

Re: Niners Unite...around Babylon 5! - The Lost Threads
Yeah, he just said O'Hare was a nutter. Stuff like him asking for a ride to the studio, then during that ride while playing with the radio randomly for no apparent reason, he asked him out for breakfast, which JD had no problem with. Then O'Hare sits down with him, and he doesn't talk. At all. Then tells JD that he talks, and he listens.
Then JD went on to talk about their first night out after shooting, and JD was talking to the girl who plays Lyta, then he randomly sat between them and started chatting up Lytas actress. JD didn't really care, and just went about ordering a round for the three. When he gave O'Hare his drink, he pointed at JD and said "You can't control me!" or something like that while pointing, might've been don't. He did the same thing with some make up artist on the show too, kept chatting her up and the like. I think JD also said that he punched a female actor on the show, or an extra during the first season. Can't remember.
To top it off, he went on to talk about how he nearly quit the show. Why? JD said to him "Michael is there an Indian behind every tree?" and O'Hare responded "Maybe..you and I will settle this May 26 after we wrap production". Then JD just said he won't be back for a second season unless O'Hare goes. Thats why they never met face to face.
Sounds funny though. I have the mp3 somewhere I think, I might upload it.

A Strong Foundation
A company is only as good as the foundation it is built upon. In the Water Quality Assn.'s (WQA) case, the foundation of the organization is quite literally its laboratories. The Performance Lab, constructed in the basement of WQA's Lisle, Ill., headquarters, conducts the first half of the testing of a unit seeking WQA certification. The Analytical Lab, also at the Lisle location, allows WQA to test samples on site in real time, providing the capability to see how a unit performs as it is running.

Wyoming, EPA to Investigate Water Quality Concerns
Wyoming to lead further investigation on drinking water quality in Pavillion, Wyo., with EPA support
The state of Wyoming announced that it would further investigate drinking water quality in the rural area east of Pavillion, Wyo. This will be done with the support of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Water Resource Worries
Hydraulic fracturing, commonly referred to as fracking, is a method of extracting natural gas from shale formations. Fracking has been around for many years, but recently, combining it with horizontal drilling has made it economically practical for gas extraction. While natural gas presents the U.S. with options to become more energy independent, there also are concerns about the process's impact on the environment.
Fracking's potential effects on drinking water supplies
The titration and ion chromatography system offers complete automation for testing properties and ions in drinking, ground, surface and wastewater. It minimizes operator time and simplifies sample analyses. The system combines the determination of up to 20 parameters from a single sample into an automated workflow. It determines conductivity, pH and alkalinity, and also can provide results for total hardness, ion balance and carbonate hardness.
ORP/Redox & Temperature Pen
Ultrapen PT3 is a new ORP and temperature tester. It is as accurate and stable as benchtop lab equipment and features "dip-and-scoop" sampling for standing bodies of water and vertical streams, providing real-time analysis before atmospheric and other environmental conditions can affect the chemistry of the sample. Constructed of durable aircraft aluminum, this pen is fully potted for extra protection with an easy-to-read LCD and one-button functions.
pH Monitoring System
This microprocessor-based pH indicator-controller provides a complete monitoring and recording system for industrial wastewater. Two process controllers are provided to activate alarms, pumps, etc., based on preset pH or millivolt set points. The unit can be mounted with 1/8 DIN or in a NEMA 4X enclosure. The recorder can be configured for either a 24-hour or seven-day chart with 0 to 14 pH. The system can be provided complete with probe and buffer solutions to calibrate.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The trip across the Tennessee River between Houston and Benton counties just got a lot shorter.
State and county officials christened a new ferry this morning, breaking bottles of sparkling cider against the vessel.
The ferry immediately went into operation just off state Route 147 near McKinnon on the east bank of the Tennessee.
The ferry operates 365 days a year, costs 75 cents per day and makes a crossing in about seven minutes.
Hours of operations are 5:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and 6 to 6 on weekends.
The aim is for no one to wait more than a half-hour to cross.

Machinists district president to retire Jan. 31
Tom Wroblewski cites health concerns after months of turmoil over Boeing contract
Aerospace blog: Everett IAM business rep to run for national union office January 9, 2014
Some Machinists seek new vote on Boeing offer January 7, 2014
Unions take a hit as Machinists concede on pensions January 6, 2014
Shades of gray in union's OK of Boeing 777X offer January 5, 2014
Machinists OK Boeing offer, sealing 777X deal January 3, 2014
Tom Wroblewski cited health concerns as he made his announcement to the District 751 council of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) Tuesday evening. He said the stress of the past three months put him in the hospital twice since Dec. 27.
The experience "changed my perspective on work-life balance," Wroblewski said in a statement released by the union. "Your job should not destroy your health."
On Jan. 3, Machinists at Boeing narrowly approved a contract in which they conceded some benefits to secure assembly of the new 777X airplane in Washington. The same Machinists rejected a Boeing proposal in November. Wroblewski had argued against a vote on the second offer, saying it was too similar. National Machinists union leaders pushed for the second vote.
"We now have been awarded the right to build the 777X, and we must find a way to move this membership forward," Wroblewski said. "I leave here honored to have served this membership, knowing that I always had the best interests of this membership guiding me."
The 59-year-old Wroblewski has served as president of District 751 since March 2007. He was re-elected in 2008 and 2012. Before that, he served as District 751's grievance coordinator and as a business representative, with assignments in Everett, Renton, Auburn, Frederickson and Seattle, the union said.
District 751 has some 31,000 members, mostly in Western Washington but also in Oregon and Kansas. The union said it will follow district bylaws to select a replacement to serve out the remainder of Wroblewski's term, which runs to 2016.

Heath Ledger is in Hell!!!
LORD willing we will preach his funeral!
Heath Ledger chose to promote the vile sin of sodomy in defiance of God's law. No one made him play a faggot cowboy in "Brokeback Mountain". No one made him kiss another man, in a flagrant attempt to further desensitize not only americans but Bible-illiterate fools the world over to the filthy depravity that is faggotry. He chose to do that all on his own. He could have used that bully pulpit he has to promote the cause of God and truth instead. God has repaid him to his face for his filth. Thank God for His Justice. All who flaunt God's law can expect the same. Amen.
He ignored his duty to God and is paying the ultimate price for it now.

The Army Corps of Engineers' Short-Term Response to the Eruption of Mount St. Helens
Willingham, William F., Oregon Historical Quarterly
AT 8:32 ON THE MORNING of MAY 18, 1980, an earthquake of magnitude 5 on the Richter scale precipitated a massive landslide on Mount St. Helens's outwardly bulging north flank. The collapse of roughly 12 percent of the mountain, the largest landslide ever recorded, exposed gas-charged magma that had risen within the volcano. Instantaneously, billions of gallons of superheated groundwater, trapped inside the mountain, flashed into steam. Scientists later estimated the explosion at 24 megatons of energy--a blast five hundred times more powerful than the 20-kiloton atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. The explosion ripped more than 1,200 feet off the top and center of Mount St. Helens, forming a huge crater over a mile in diameter. The onrushing avalanche debris displaced the water in Spirit Lake and raised the lake bed by 200 feet. Debris from the eruption covered 23 square miles of the North Fork Toutle River Valley to a depth of 150 feet. (1)
Approximately 3 billion cubic yards of material spewed out of the mountain. Some of the ejected material consisted of volcanic ash, which ascended 14 miles into the atmosphere over a 9-hour period. Other matter comprised mud and pyroclastic flows or surges that sped down the mountain at 100 miles an hour, pushing into the upper reaches of the North Fork and South Fork Toutle River drainages. These flows (averaging from 33 to 66 feet in depth) contained massive amounts of debris, rock, trees, water, and glacial ices in superheated condition. As the flows raced downstream, they filled in and leveled out the river beds, reducing channel capacity in the Cowlitz from 70,000 to 13,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). The mudflow deposited as much as 15 feet of sand, volcanic ash, and pumice in the river channels and 10 feet on the floodplain. The mudflow into the Columbia reduced the 40-foot-deep ship channel to 15 feet. The debris avalanche also created lakes in the Toutle River drainage, blocking them with eroded, unstable material. As these lakes retained rainwater or snowmelt, the danger of breaching and downstream flooding increased. Flying over the devastated area shortly after the eruption, President Jimmy Carter mused, "I've never seen anything like it.... The moon looks like a golf course compared to what's up there." (2)
A deep-draft vessel was grounded in the Columbia River ship channel off the mouth of the Cowlitz River, and thirty-one other vessels were trapped in the Portland and Kalama harbors. Another fifty ships enroute to the area had to stand off or be diverted to other West Coast ports. It was a navigation emergency and a potential economic disaster for the ports, communities, and industries that depended on the ship channel. The lower Cowlitz drainage faced a flood-control problem from the mudflows. For 21 miles of the Cowlitz River, downstream from the Toutle to the Columbia, infill had eliminated natural channel capacities. Forty-five thousand people had been left without flood protection. (3)
The eruption was a major natural disaster. Fifty-seven people were killed and 150 square miles of valuable forest were turned into wasteland. The avalanche of mud and debris sent into the Toutle, Cowlitz, and Columbia rivers disrupted navigation on the Columbia and threatened to cause long-term navigation and flooding problems. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the federal agency immediately responsible for dealing with the disaster, faced a difficult and uncertain situation. Could the Corps, a government agency that was considered highly bureaucratic and technically conservative in its engineering philosophy, respond with appropriate technical solutions to the immediate and long-term water problems caused by this unprecedented natural disaster?
The Corps' responsibility for responding to the Mount St. Helens emergency stemmed from its congressionally authorized mission. Since 1824, the Corps had been charged with improving the nation's rivers and harbors for navigation. …

Antitheft light comes on when key is turned to the on position. No obdII codes present. I do not have a meter. Dont understand why if the battery cable is off for 30min to an hr, it will start when reattached. Could it be the Engine Control Module?
The reason it wont start is because the security light is on it disables the starter. Taking of the battery semi resets it. Most of the time what fails is the ignition cylinder the wire to it breaks. If you had a multimeter we could check some things.

The_Derminator - If you have not grasped what will be driving the demand for rare earths particularly the (CREOs) then you will not be investing in the proper ventures that will be supplying not only the oxides but the value added products in the value chain which by the way have been determined by many analysts and rare earth experts as the magnet industry drivers. How many ventures outside of China have magnet alloy producers in their portfolio. If you think that rare earth oxides are the value producers you certainly have not done your homework. I rely on the expertise of individuals who have done their homework on future demands and I believe that wwwater's does also and used those projection in his table in displaying an understanding as to what may happen in subsequent years. If the price of the CREOs rises that only contributes more to the bottom line of those that remain in the rare earth industry. Notice I stressed remain in the rare earth industry as it develops.

Respond to Review of Loving Hut
by JesseD
Review: This is a great little vegan restaurant over the river, and I think one of only two fully vegan eateries in Bangkok other traditional Thai Jeh restaurants. It's similar in style to other Loving Huts (eg in Taiwan and Japan) but of course most of the food is Thai style. The food was excellent, and good value for the price. The vegan ice-cream and other desserts were amazing. It is a bit of an outing to get there (the ferry trip as explained on their site) but it's a beautiful trip across the river at dusk or later, and finding the LH makes for a very pleasant evening excursion. Or as the previous reviewer said, it can also be done by taxi. A must-visit while in Bangkok.
