Security for the 2012 Summer Olympics
|This article's factual accuracy may be compromised due to out-of-date information. (December 2012)
Security for the 2012 Summer Olympics was led by the police, with 13,000 officers available, supported by 17,000 members of the armed forces. Naval and air assets, including ships situated in the Thames, Eurofighter jets and surface-to-air missiles, which were deployed as part of the security operation. The final cost of the security operation was estimated 553m pounds sterling. The budget for venue security was being partly funded by LOCOG as well as using the contingency from the £9.3 billion infrastructure budget. Private security firm G4S, after scandals regarding training and manpower emerged mere weeks before the games did not provide their planned 13,700 staff; the number was instead approximately 10,000. This was be the biggest security operation Britain had faced for decades as the number of security personnel totalled 40,000. The day after the city was selected to host the Olympics, the London Underground and a London Bus was attacked by Al-Qaeda terrorists.
Air defences[edit]
Air defences were installed around the Olympic stadium to stop potential suicide airplane attacks, similar to the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the USA.[1] There were six missile sites, four using Rapier missiles and two using Starstreak missiles. After initially announcing the possibility of installing missiles the British government confirmed they would be deployed from mid July.[2]
Rapier missiles are surface-to-air missiles designed to shoot down aeroplanes. A short-range air defence system, it consists of eight missiles with a tracking radar and a surveillance radar.[3] There were four rapier sites - two in north London and two in south London.
The Rapier sites were:
- Blackheath Common[4][1]
- Oxleas Wood, Eltham[4][1]
- William Girling Reservoir, Enfield[4][1]
- Barn Hill, Netherstone Farm, near Epping Forest[4][5][1]
In addition two sites were selected for Starstreak missiles. They were at the top of tall buildings closer to the Olympic Stadium. One of the sites was the water tower of a factory converted into upmarket flats in Bow.[6] The other was a 15 story block of Council flats in Leytonstone. The residents of the latter took the government to court to protest against the siting of the missile battery, a case they lost on 10 July 2012.[7][8][9]
The Starstreak sites were:
- Lexington Building, Bow Quarter in LB Tower Hamlets[4]
- Fred Wigg Tower in Leytonstone, LB Waltham Forest[4]
The defences were tested in a large training exercise during 2–10 May 2012, known as Exercise Olympic Guardian, which preceded the operational phase of the campaign. The exercise involved Boeing E-3 Sentry from RAF Waddington, VC-10 tanker aircraft from RAF Brize Norton and Typhoon fast jets from 3(F) Sqn operating from RAF Northolt, the first time RAF fighters had been stationed at the West London base since the Second World War.[10]
Supporting the air defence role over London were RAF Pumas based at the TA Centre at Ilford, Fleet Air Arm Sea Kings at Northolt, and Army Air Corps and four FAA Lynxes operating from HMS Ocean, which was moored on the Thames. Airborne early warning security were supplemented by Type 101 ground-based radar from 1 Air Control Centre, deployed to Kent, together with three-man Army teams positioned around London, equipped with binoculars.[10]
From 14 July 2012, Royal Air Force, Army and Navy assets and personnel began enforcing a 30-mile exclusion zone over London and other areas,[11] though this is not expected to affect commercial on established routes.[citation needed]
Maritime defences[edit]
The Royal Navy and Royal Marines were equipped with the Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD), which uses directional sound as an anti-personnel weapon.[12] It was attached to a landing craft on the Thames at Westminster, and was to be used primarily in loud-hailer mode as a so-called acoustic hailing device, rather than as a weapon.[12] Royal Marines operated from HMS Ocean in small craft armed with conventional weapons.[12]
IT Security[edit]
BT were responsible for the IT infrastructure for the Olympics, and for securing the network perimeter against electronic attacks. The company had been warned to expect a high intensity of complex and determined attacks, but instead found that the attacks were "unsophisticated and perpetrated by children". When monitoring social media and chat sites for information on which targets might be attacked next, BT staff observed one would-be hacker breaking off a planning session because their mother was calling them to eat their tea, and another defending their technical performance by saying "what do you expect, I'm only 12?". The other main IT security obstacle encountered was the requirement to allow over 25,000 journalists access to network services; many of their computers were infected with viruses or other malware. BT contacted a number of spam blacklisting companies to explain the resulting increase in spam from its network.[13]
Preparation concerns[edit]
After it emerged in July 2012 that G4S, the company in charge of providing security, was unable to train enough security staff, an additional 3,500 soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines were assigned to security duties at the Olympics.[14][15]
Lord Coe, chairman of LOCOG, said that the security of the Olympics had not been compromised as a result.[16]

Memento: Limehouse Town Hall
Memento Sound Walk 2012
at Limehouse Town Hall
Image Credit: Russell Dornan
Limehouse Town Hall 2012
This forms the second part of the 'Memento' series. Memento – Limehouse Town Hall, uses audio to guide listeners through the grand stories and little-known people of this building with a past. Looking at the first 50 years of it's life from 1881, moments come alive through character driven narratives, heart-warming soundtracks and things to touch, taste, see. Take a memento from your experience or leave one behind.
The concept for this walk was lo-fi simplicity. The location speaks loudly so developing a complementary script and moving away from choreography was the focus. The aim was to create a personal piece of theatre that was effective alone or in a group.
Access – Limehouse Town Hall is not ordinarily open to the public but open days often take place including the annual Open House Weekend. Check at http://www.limehousetownhall.co.uk/ for dates when you can access the building and do the walk, they have some mp3 players and headphones available.
Download the audio from soundcloud (arrow button when you hover over the top right corner, below) onto your own smartphone or player and bring headphones.

I bought this for my new salon and they look great!!! They feel like they can handle all of my up coming abuse. Will be buying a few more soon.
I put it under my desk in my bedroom. It's made in good material.
The summary says it all. Rubbermaid quality. Fits easily into the cabinet under my bathroom sink. The size is good for bathroom or bedroom or under desk at home (unless you have a LOT of paper trash from your desk, for which you'll want an 8 gallon trash can). Fits a "standard" 4 gallon trash bag. Best trash can **at that size** for the price...but this is *not* a decorative trash can (obviously).
Other than being a little too small for my needs, this is an excellent product. I have them around the house and Thursday evening I empty them all into the big trash can which is set out for the Sanitation Department to empty the next morning.
It fits perfectly between the front seats of my Dodge Grand Caravan, so with the black color, it looks like OEM, and being plastic, it can be easily washed with soap and water as needed.
fust right size for under the desk plus the right size for plastic shopping bags, they fit good
if ur looking for a bigger trash can,then this one isnt for you.
Nice size, easy to clean, easy to find liners that fit. Excellent quality.

Awesome shot! I thought I'd let you know that the group I admin, #BarknSnap, is having a "Dogs at Play" contest, and I think that this would fit the theme splendidly if you chose to submit it. And, actually, most anything else in your gallery would fit as well, since you seem to have lots of pictures of playing pups.

The Rams finished fourth at Day 1 of the Tennessee Invitational, but have some of their top events up ahead
Nov. 15, 2012
By Sarah Thomsen
Athletic Media Relations
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The Colorado State swimming & diving team finished Day 1 of the three-day Tennessee Invitational in fourth place (176 points) behind Tennessee (427), Duke (228) and Kentucky (193).
The Rams saw large improvements at the invitational from previous showings this season, and look to be in a good spot in the final two days of competition. With few exceptions, Rams quickened their earlier-season bests across the board.
"I think the improvement came less from the technical side and more from the mental side," Head Coach Christopher Woodard said. "I saw people try to push themselves and step up to the challenges that were presented to them."
Each of the athletes in the 500 Freestyle outperformed their previous times of the season by several seconds in the prelims, only to drop more time in the finals. Junior Madeline Mastrup had the largest time drop.
Mastrup previously held a season best at 5:17.68. In the prelims she sped to 5:12.46. During the finals, Mastrup cut her time by over an outstanding 12 seconds, to 4:58.94, for a lifetime best. The junior finished ninth, earning nine points for the team, and was followed by Mary Foster in 11th.
The Rams racked in a large amount of their points in the relays. Breann Fuller`s leg of the 400 Medley Relay was one of the fastest of her career. In the 200 Freestyle Relay, the Rams came in fourth with a season-best time by more than five seconds (1.34.94).
"There were some up and downs, but definitely some championship swims," Woodard said.
The Rams are primed for a day to rake in the points with some of their stronger events being conducted Friday. CSU will participate in the 200 Medley Relay, 400 IM, 100 Butterfly, 200 Freestyle, 100 Breaststroke, 100 Backstroke and 1-meter diving.
"I expect them to keep doing what they're doing and not let up in any way," Woodard said.

Gabe DeArmond
The other day, I was talking to a friend about the Missouri recruiting class, the upcoming season and the one gone by (believe it or not, I do have discussions that don't revolve around Missouri sports, but most of them seem to be with my wife). Anyway, I made the following statement: "I think the win over Kansas might be the most influential win Gary Pinkel has had at Missouri."Now, before we get into the reasons, let me state unequivocally that it wasn't the biggest win Pinkel has had. That is, was and will remain the 2007 game against the Jayhawks. The 2003 and 2007 wins over Nebraska were bigger. But as far as impacting the direction of his entire program, I don't know that Pinkel has ever had a more critical win.Think for a just a moment how different you would feel if something had gone wrong in the final 180 seconds against the Jayhawks. You all know the sequence of events. With three minutes left, Derrick Washington tripped over Blaine Gabbert and turned third and a half yard into fourth and four. Pinkel punted the ball away and anybody who bleeds black and gold was swearing at the television and wondering why Pinkel-who by most measures is among Missouri's three most successful coaches-was about to go 3-and-5 against Mark Mangino. How can they lose to a team that's lost six straight whose coach is about to be fired? What the HELL?And then there was perfect punt and the safety and the return by Carl Gettis and the drive and the run of redemption by Washington and the kick by Grant Ressel. And all was good. In 179 seconds, an offseason full of hand-wringing and angst was gone. I'm serious. Those three minutes changed the outlook of an entire fan base. And, more important, probably the outlook of an entire program. After the game, Pinkel spoke of the 2008 Border War, a last-second 40-37 loss. Even though the Tigers won the North, won the Alamo Bowl and had six players drafted, the sting of that one never went away."It's like a cloud hanging over you," Pinkel said. "It's always there. Even when you're smiling, you're not."For just a second, look at things if Missouri had lost. The Tigers are sitting 7-and-5. They'd have a losing record in league play and would have lost two in a row to their most bitter of rivals. The two games that matter most to Missouri fans (Kansas and Nebraska) would have been losses...and even worse, losses in which Missouri blew fourth quarter leads. You'd be looking at a team that limped into the Texas Bowl based mostly on its non-conference schedule that was losing its best player on offense and defense.Face it, you'd be scared and mad. ...More...

Gwyneth Paltrow, and a bunch of famous ladies who can stand to be near her, squeeze together for a selfie.

Gwyneth Paltrow invited a horde of moderately famous blondes (and a couple brown-hairs because all are welcome in the Goop) to consciously couple for a Girls Night selfie. Behold.
See Chris? I have friends.
Tagged #girlsnight, in attendance in this selfie essay on chiaroscuro are Nicole Richie, Chelsea Handler, Gwen Stefani, Stella McCartney, Naomi Watts, and Sam Taylor Wood. Soon after the selfie was taken it can be assumed that the "girls" took turns calling their personal assistants and berating them on speakerphone.

Prostate Cancer
Researchers have identified a mutation in the androgen-synthesizing enzyme 3(beta)-HSD1 in castration-resistant prostate cancer, which allows the tumor to create its own supply of androgens.
"For patients with advanced prostate cancer, treatment can include testosterone deprivation therapy, which works most of the time, but then the tumors invariably become resistant," Nima Sharifi, MD, Kendrick family chair for prostate cancer research at Cleveland Clinic, told HemOnc Today. "When the tumors do become resistant, they acquire the ability to synthesize their own supply of DHT, or dihydrotestosterone, which is the most potent androgen. Although this has been known for awhile, no one has ever described any mutations that are responsible for driving DHT synthesis or any mutations in steroid-synthesizing enzymes in particular."
Nima Sharifi
The 3(beta)-HSD1 mutation occurs within castration-resistant prostate cancer tumors and can come from germline DNA, inherited from both maternal and paternal sources.
Sharifi and colleagues assessed the time to the development of castration-resistant prostate cancer of xenograft tumors in orchiectomized mice supplemented with dehydroepiandrosterone intended to mimic human adrenal physiology.
According to study results, laboratory models of human prostate cancer fell into two categories of androgen synthesis: those that produce androgens gradually and those that produce them quickly. The researchers found that the 3(beta)-HSD1 mutation was the decisive factor in causing the enzyme to become hyperactive in producing androgens.
"This is the first mutation discovered that is responsible for increasing DHT synthesis to drive castration-resistant prostate cancer, and it may lead to the development of both biomarkers for detection of this mutation in clinical tumors, as well as the clinical development of pharmacologic inhibitors against this enzyme," Sharifi said. "This kind of strategy is the crux of personalized medicine that is currently used as the standard of care for some forms of lung cancer and melanoma."

Peppy, poppy '80s rock and R&B "Hey Mickey" and "Little Red Corvette" coursed from the DJ booth next to the raft of pool and air hockey tables and the game arcade as upscale clubbish figurines, blue-collar bowling diehards, and Asian and Latino kids tried out the lanes and tables and some fair American and Asian finger food.
I stuck a kiwi into a chocolate fountain and spurted sticky brown stuff all over my white shoes and shirt and wondered, could this be the future of clubbing or sports? Amusement parks for adults, lubricated with fruity but muscley cocktails? Or maybe this is as hellacious as it gets in drowsy Cupertino.
Still, I thought Strike was worth swinging by, if only to play on a sparkling, well-waxed, seemingly nick-free lane for the first time, in fresh, BO-free shoes, with immaculate, grimeless balls. Also, knowing how many miles per hour your ball is traveling is a trip, if somewhat discouraging for featherweights like yours truly. Yes, I know the $5 cover after 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays seems excessive for, well, a bowling alley, but Monday evening seems a deal with all-night unlimited play for a flat $14. Word has it that the nightspot also enforces a dress code and that even Bonds would have to leave his cap at home but I say perhaps just cut back on the supershort bowling-shirt dresses and fishnet stockings on the teenagey waitresses. We're not in Vegas yet, Toto.

"Novum" means "new thing," so it's a bit of a contradiction that YWFT Novum is a retro-styled font. This technical, heavy block font draws inspiration from a typeface originally used by the Swiss graphic designer Siegfried Odermatt. This thing is massive and powerful, and works great in headlines, posters and branding work, but can also be used in more abstract situations, like pattern creation. YWFT Novum was converted to opentype format in 2010.

Researcher says he's got more serious vulnerabilities to unveil.
Google searches find critical infrastructure equipment that could be remotely controlled over the Internet.
Embedded systems that rely on cellular networks and lack authentication and encryption have holes that attackers can easily exploit, researcher says.
Software employed in critical infrastructure systems in the U.S. and other nations carries security bugs that attackers could take advantage of, says the Department of Homeland Security.
Researchers had planned to demonstrate how to break into critical infrastructure systems.
Cybersecurity officials are busy issuing warnings as researchers keep disclosing new holes in software used to manage systems at utilities and other industrial plants.
Federal cybersecurity group issues warnings about tools that could be used to attack critical infrastructure systems like power companies and utilities, following release of exploits.
U.S. government warns critical-infrastructure operators of serious hole in "SCADA" software used in oil and gas; water; electric utilities; and manufacturing plants around world.
There's no proof that a suspected hacking attack on SCADA systems of a Florida-based energy plant actually occurred, according to the operator, NextEra Energy Resources.
Combining legacy SCADA systems that have their own weaknesses with Internet technologies is a dangerous mix for protecting systems that provide energy, water and other basic needs, Black Hat presenter says.

Metro Vancouver's TransLink has reopened the SkyTrain after a shutdown of the Expo and Millennium lines early Monday afternoon because of a power outage linked to an electrical panel problem.
The shutdown forced thousands of passengers off trains and out of stations, as TransLink scrambled for almost five hours to evacuate everyone from the system and get it up and running again.
Director of communications Colleen Brennan said a problem with one of TransLink's electrical panels caused a complete power outage.
"We were not able to even get announcements out over our PA system because of that and it brought all of the SkyTrains to a halt."
Brennan said SkyTrains have regular maintenance checks, but she understood the frustration of passengers.
"The reality is we really do feel for our customers, I take SkyTrain myself, I know what it's like when you're delayed," said Brennan.
"It's difficult to get alternate transportation, so we do apologize to our customers and we know that it's difficult and frustrating. We really are sorry about that."
To aid stranded passengers, additional trains were added to the Canada Line, servicing Vancouver, Richmond and Vancouver International Airport, which is not affected by the shutdown.
Additional buses were also requested to service the SkyTrain system and Vancouver police suspended taxi enforcement to allow suburban taxi drivers to enter the city to take stranded passengers home.

Passengers walk off trains
TransLink earlier had to urge frustrated passengers to stay in stopped trains until they were escorted off by SkyTrain staff, owing to the high-voltage tracks and risk of injury or death.
TransLink official Jiana Ling said the trains were being driven manually to stations. All other passengers were being barred from SkyTrain stations.
But many began walking along the tracks to escape the stalled trains. An image posted to Twitter shows people walking along the tracks with children.

July 21, 2014
The shutdown comes just days after a computer glitch almost scuppered the entire system on Thursday. The problem took almost an hour to be resolved, leaving the evening rush hour in chaos.
Brennan said TransLink is still looking into the cause, but the two incidents seem to be unrelated.
"It's a coincidence, these things happen, and unfortunately it's happened twice in one week."

I think 72l looks better without a belt to be honest, and I also happen to think the ones ive seen lately on some of you fit like shit.
Same here. Plus I hate going to a hairdresser regularly. That is why I always eventually come back to shaving my head myself.
I used to go to a hairdresser who had a (japanese I guess) automatic hairwasher with head massage function. It was placed in a cubic room with relaxing music and lights changing to the rythmn of the hairwashing process. Kinda funny and I really enjoyed it, but even that couldnt sweeten me the need to regularly go to a place to have taken care of my hair.

If you just want to cover your shirt, these are great. As far as a full apron, these would be a better fit for kids than adults. I think I would have gone with a different color we did a natural. But they are heavy duty and sold well as kids aprons.

There is a guy in PA with a C&R that sold me a yugo for $150 and actually sold 2 for that price.He said he bought them 10-15 years ago and that he didn't need them and that he didn't need to make a killing on them because he bought them for $100.
He was also selling some norinco's for about $300.So if you ask around you may just find a deal like I did.

I've been passively looking here in Az the past couple years, and have been unable to find any for less than $350+

I was in the local pawn/gun shop this morning and they had 4 new Yugo sks for $269, owner told me if I wanted one he would knock more off since I buy quite a few guns from him. Already had a yugo and passed on it.
Norinco's are going to $250 in my area.

In my area, the Chinese SKS goes for 300-350 depending on condition.
November 22, 2008, 05:37 PM
I have never seen a good deal on Gun Broker.
I have, although I won't say it's common. Besides, sometimes it's the easiest way to find the gun you want without having to wait forever. Some of us who work every weekend for the rest of our lives can't take time off to go to gun shows. :(
I just paid way too much for a Yugo M59/66 SKS that I should have bought when they were $125-150/ea instead of waiting until now. Oh well.
November 22, 2008, 06:29 PM
There are some real deals on gunbroker if you are patient and willing to do your homework. I picked up a "paratrooper" SKS (virgin) for $310 last month, before the panic hit. You can still pick up decent SKS's for a good price there, better than what you will find at a gun show. It gives those of us without large gun shops the ability to find weapons for a reasonable price. My last three guns have been bought on gunbroker or auction arms, all used but all under dealer prices.
November 22, 2008, 06:42 PM
Im glad their values have finally creeped up. I have a few stashed still in cosmolene, Norincos and Yugos. Can t have only a few, they are so well built and perfect for civi and hunting purposes.

Jim Brady Talks About Leaving Washingtonpost.com
Washingtonpost.com will soon be looking for a new executive editor, following today's announcement that Jim Brady will soon be leaving that post. Then again, it may not be looking to fill the slot. Over the next year–or perhaps even the next six months–the Washington Post's newsroom and the Arlington offices of washingtonpost.com will merge, and a stand-alone digital chief may not be part of the new power structure.
Says Brady on the question of whether his position will live: "I don't know the answer to that." As to why he's leaving, well, the merger is unquestionably a big part of it. Brady has been executive editor of washingtonpost.com for four years–a full Olympic cycle that Brady has spent on nearly equal footing with the big boss of the main newsroom. For most of Brady's tenure, that's been Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr. Last year at this time, in fact, Brady was lording it all over the print guys, in a fight relating to the Post's coverage of national politics.
The newsroom had hired away washingtonpost.com's congressional blogger, Paul Kane, and was hoping that it could transfer Kane's slot to the newsroom as well–meaning that the print operation would essentially be taking a slot from dot-com. Brady said no dice–we'll be hiring our own congressional blogger.
In addition to turf battles of that sort, Brady has had the authority to ram important changes down the know-it-all throats of newsroom people. For instance, reporters at the Post once objected to allowing the posting of comments and to other initiatives now considered de rigueur for a newspaper's Web site.
"The battles that at times played out between the newspaper and the web site–how they play out is going to change," says Brady.
Indeed, and in a way that probably wouldn't have pleased Brady. Publisher Katharine Weymouth made it very clear when she hired Marcus Brauchli last summer: This fellow will control both the print and online operations.
"The job was going to change," says Brady, who had no great interest in moving into D.C. "I want to be on the digital side."
The dot-com chief also says he's needs a serious rebooting. "I have a track record," he says, of staying about four or five years at a job and then burning out. "I'm beat up, tired, burned out."
OK, but did Weymouth or anyone else hint that it was time for Brady to go? No way, he says: "My call."

PEACE POLICE; Rasta Volunteers Join Bobbies on Beat SPECIAL REPORT
Byline: AMARDEEP BASSEY
THE introduction of Rastafarian 'peace officers' patrolling the streets of Handsworth alongside beat police officers has been heralded as a breakthrough in community relations.
Decades of mistrust appear to have been overcome as the unlikely alliance with the Haile Selassie Peace Foundation (HSPF) has already resulted in several arrests.
But, according to the group's president and self-styled prophet, his volunteers are there to keep an eye on the police as much as help them.
'We are not the police and we do not want to be,' said Itabarica Napthali.
'We are not here to inform on our brothers and sisters. We are observers only, watching the police as well as the community.'
Jamaican-born Mr Napthali, 54, is the spiritual head of a worldwide Rastafarian movement and is revered as a living prophet from his spartan offices on Holyhead Road.
In his own words, he will soon rule the planet after the creation of a new world order which will be headed by Rastafarians who he describes as God's chosen people.
Birmingham, and Handsworth in particular, is home to the biggest Rastafarian population outside Jamaica.
Their goal is to one day return to their spiritual homeland of Ethiopia, which, according to scriptures, will be the new world power.
Helping the police in Birmingham is seen as playing a vital part in the grand plan.
'By helping the police in this way we are getting an idea of how to organise ourselves when it is our time to govern,' said Mr Napthali.
'We are a peaceful people and we are helping the police to bring peace back on our streets.
'Black people are killing their own brothers and sisters and it is our duty to stop this.
'But we are not the eyes and ears for the police and if we know about certain criminals it is not our job or aim to inform on them.'
The peace officer initiative came about after the donation-funded HSPF was approached by West Midlands Police.
Currently there are three unpaid volunteers from the foundation who accompany regular police officers on patrol for up to six hours a day.
Ostensibly their role is that of observers but they have used their persuasive powers to quell potential trouble.
Their presence has proved to be a massive publicity coup for West Midlands Police, which openly admits that Rastas 'carry a lot more sway than police in Handsworth'.
But one potential stumbling block which has made Rastas and police natural enemies in the past has been glossed over by both parties.
All three peace officers openly admit to smoking marijuana for spiritual meditation and ironically one was present during the arrest of a man for possessing cannabis. …

Scandalous knowledge: science, truth and the human
Duke University Press, 2006 - Literary Criticism - 198 pages
Throughout the recent culture and science "wars," the radically new conceptions of knowledge and science emerging from such fields as the history and sociology of science have been denounced by various journalists, scientists, and academics as irresponsible attacks on science, absurd denials of objective reality, or a cynical abandonment of truth itself. In Scandalous Knowledge, Barbara Herrnstein Smith explores and illuminates the intellectual contexts of these crude denunciations. A preeminent scholar, theorist, and analyst of intellectual history, Smith begins by looking closely at the epistemological developments at issue. She presents a clear, historically informed, and philosophically sophisticated overview of important twentieth-century critiques of traditional—rationalist, realist, positivist—accounts of human knowledge and scientific truth, and discusses in detail the alternative accounts produced by Ludwik Fleck, Thomas Kuhn, Michel Foucault, Bruno Latour, and others.
With keen wit, Smith demonstrates that the familiar charges involved in these scandals—including the recurrent invocation of "postmodern relativism"—protect intellectual orthodoxy by falsely associating important intellectual developments with logically absurd and morally or politically disabling positions. She goes on to offer bold, original, and insightful perspectives on the currently strained relations between the natural sciences and the humanities; on the grandiose but dubious claims of evolutionary psychology to explain human behavior, cognition, and culture; and on contemporary controversies over the psychology, biology, and ethics of animal-human relations. Scandalous Knowledge is a provocative and compelling intervention into controversies that continue to roil through journalism, pulpits, laboratories, and classrooms throughout the United States and Europe.

Gas and wood brick pizza oven
I finished (mostly – still a little detail work to do) my oven last November. I built the firebox, cladding and insulation as close to your Masterly Oven a possible. The bricks here in the US are different sizes than yours and trying to do mathematical conversions made it too complex so I just threw away all my drawings and built it by looking at your pictures. This is the first time I have ever laid brick. I nearly killed myself in the summer heat when I got heat stroke working last July. The outer shell design is adapted to my location in my courtyard.
The one city that I live in – Fresno California USA – is part of an Air Pollution control district that does not allow the construction of a wood burning anything! So in order to get the permit I had to make it a Gas Fired oven – and basic wood – but read below. Oven image shows the firing, gas flame of the burner inside.
Another image shows the burner and port. No need for gas unless the city comes down on me for using wood. The oven burns wood so clean after the first 30 minutes I don't think anyone would really notice the wood. This is because all the fume gasses and smoke burn to an extent that only the blurry heat is visible.
I was originally planning to plaster the outside leaving just the black trim bricks showing; so much of the red brick is course and the grout is different colors and unfinished. My wife and all of our friends love the look of it the way it is now! So this is how it shall remain. I intend to install a lamp above the opening to the oven (you can see the electrical box) but we have not found just the right one yet.
We will never be able to eat pizza from a restaurant again. Once you eat pizza out of a wood fired masonry oven there is no going back. We have mastered cooking Pizza with my wife rolling out the dough, everyone choosing their own toppings and me working the oven. We mostly use your Pizza dough recipe and it is the standard by which we measure others that we experiment with. Whole foods Market located here in the states makes pretty good whole wheat pizza dough but I still prefer yours home made. One of my favorite toppings is marinated dried tomatoes and as you can see we are growing some to dry with residual oven heat.
Recently I built the door and I am amazed at the ovens heat retention ability. I am just now studying the numbers so I can utilize a single firing to its full potential. Test with the door closed and oven not heated to the high pizza cooking temperature: It took seven hours to drop from 480F – 250C to 300F – 150C and nine more hours to drop to 250F – 120C and from there it takes another 24 hours to drop to 140F – 60C at which so much drying or warming can be done. The next Holiday plan is to have top Pizza for lunch, Bake bread in the afternoon then slow cook a prime rib beef roast and vegetables for dinner. Then if I have not had too much fun I might dry some tomatoes.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I would not have attempted this project if it was not for your plans with 1000 pictures and my life would be unknowingly poorer.
Thank you

I am so happy in the way you are proud of what you have made with your own hands, its priceless. I am building one also and know exactly what you mean about the difference in the size of our bricks. I live in Canada and our standard sizes are pretty well the same.
For now happy motoring ups happy cooking. Bart Parete

Wood fired brick ovens have certainly added extra fuel to the LA pizza debate burning over the very last few years. So the new modern movement is quite recent. When a new Italian food restaurant opens, it is most likely already having a brick oven built in by a food fired/burning oven builder so the proper pizzas can be produced fast. Now we have such a varieties of "authentic" pies to decide between and not only in LA, it's difficult to choose which restaurant is better. We may say, what makes every restaurant mainly unique and incredibly delicious starts way before the dough's are made: the toppings used, the fire woods storage, the temperature or atmosphere inside the oven and the actual pizza making time with the pizza chef's distinguishes the quality between them.

I have built an oven mainly to bake bread. Is there a safe way to convert it to a propane fired oven? Anyone has a solution I would like to hear about it.

When we cook a pizza for 2.5 minutes in a gas oven that requires ten minutes (100%) of heat up to the actual required cooking temperature, then only those 2-1/2 mins = 25% of the total energy is spent in the actual cooking mode. The other 7-1/2 minutes = 75% of energy is required for preheat. Thus for example if cooking some other things for an hour, the preheat energy surcharge ratio drops to just 15% and all the culinary activity becomes a lot more efficient on gas.

Very nice oven! I am interested in the type of burner that you used. Could you please tell me, is it off-the-shelf? Or, did you have it custom made? Where could I purchase one? Specs?
Thank you in advance,

Very nice job Randy. If you don't mind, can you give me some details about the gas feature? How does it work? Where to get it? How long does it take to heat the oven with gas?

Writing to hear if you ever got info on adding a gas option to your WFO. I am experimenting making a venture valve (venturie value) to my propane brush burner just to see how it works. A potter who built his own kiln is advising me. Please let me know if you picked up any pointers.

Very good looking oven, and flexible set up. Where did you get your gas burner, who makes it, and how long does it take to heat up the oven with a gas burner?

I have a wood burning pizza oven and am trying to find the natural gas burner to turn my oven into a gas pizza oven. Can you please tell me where you got the burner you are using?
By Chris — Permalink
Me too, have you had any luck to find a safe way to convert between gas and wood fuels options?
By Albert — Permalink
Very nice oven, it looks like you have a good solution for the gas firing! I have same problem total fire ban days in summer means no WFO cooking. Can you email me details about the gas burner you used as I am seriously considering retrofiting gas to my WFO.
Thank you,

Hi – Beautiful oven, well done! I'm also interested in the gas burner that you used as well. Can you post a link on where you got it or product detail?
Thanks & Happy cooking!

Very nice
I've built a different/round design 3 years ago but have problems retaining the heat.
I am interested in the type of burner that you used. Could you please tell me, is it off-the-shelf? Or, did you have this burner custom made? Where could I purchase one? Specs? and can I use propane.
Thank you

I live in Visalia CA and also has restrictions on wood burning. I ordered the Pompeii brick oven from Forno Bravo and would like to add gas burner. can you give me some details on the burner you use.
By gerard — Permalink
As with most of the postings above, I would be very grateful if you could let me know the type of burner you used.

You oven looks amazing. I am also working on an oven and need to have gas as an option. How often do you use the gas burner? What type and size of burner did you use?
By Cliff — Permalink
Hello Randy: I too, live in Fresno. I am considering building or buying an outdoor pizza & bread oven, and am concerned about air quality and wood burning. Since we are almost neighbors, any chance of us meeting so I can see your oven firsthand? It really looks great!

We have a wood fired pizza oven that we built and we would like to also have a LP gas feature. Can you send me info on what is the best to use and where to buy.

Estrange by MaaykeKlaverWatch
©2012-2016 MaaykeKlaver
Shot near my house yesterday, I hope you like it. Do you think a square crop of this is better? I really couldn't decide!
I really love the out of focus on your works. The flowers or plants seem to come out from a ocean of colours and light. Really unique.
Just wow! I like it like this, the extra space on the right makes it feel more free and open, which I personally prefer
I'd love to see it as a square crop, either way, this photo is lovely!
I think it looks really nice Im dying for someone to teach me how to do this.
Thank you! Well, what would you like to know? If you have any questions you can always ask.
how were you able to fade the background like that?
I used a 50mm f1.4 lens at a very low (and thus wide) aperture. The wider you set the aperture the more faded the background will be. Also a smaller part of your photo will be sharp. If you have any more questions don't hesitate to send me a note.
this one is better for adding signiture and balancing the piture, but the square crop one would make the object stand out more a bit. just my own opinion, hope you dont mind. i love either one
Yes you are completely right, that's why it was such a dilemma for me haha. Thanks a lot for the advice, it's really helpful!
Perfect like this, all the space is important and meaningful. Would you crop it, it would lose some impact
keep it like this, i luv it <3
very nice shot!
beautiful in this way!!))
I think it's best as it is - not as a square crop.
well i'm not a big fan of square crops, so i think it looks nice this way ^^
