Who says pumpkins have to be round?! We had so much fun making these Shoebox Pumpkins by upclycling small shoeboxes that would ordinarily have been tossed into the recycle bin. They make cute Halloween decor or "treasure boxes," as Goose calls them.
Supplies Needed for Shoebox Pumpkins:
- Shoeboxes (You can use any size shoebox for this activity but I recommend using the kind that feel like cardboard, not the kind that feel waxy, if that makes sense. The paint may not stick onto those very well.)
- Orange tempura paint
- Paint brushes
- Googly eyes
- Nose and mouth pieces cut from cardstock
- Green pasta noodles for the stems
We paint inside the house all the time but it was such a nice day that I set us up outside. I put our SugarBooger ABC Jumbo Splat Mat under the table since it's a lot easier to wipe paint off the mat than it is to scrub the concrete.
Goose asked for help with painting her box so we painted it together. She tends to glob the paint in a couple places rather than paint the whole thing and in this case she wanted the whole box orange, hence her request for help.
Let me tell you the story of our orange paint. After I came up with the idea for this activity I realized we didn't have any orange paint. I thought Well, I'll just mix some red and yellow. But then I changed my mind and thought No, we'll use it for other things this week so I'll just go buy some. I thought there was a JoAnn's in the shopping center not too far from my house. I get there and discover there is not. There is a WalMart though so I thought we'd go in there to get the paint. Since WalMart has everything I assumed they'd have tempura paint. I unload the kids, search the store and discover they don't actually have everything. Back into the car, drive down the street. Stop at Staples hoping they have it. Unload the kids, get to the door, see that they don't open until noon. It was only 10:45am. Argh. Load back up the kids. Go home. Mix up the red and yellow. And voila. Orange paint.
So, back to our activity….I cut the noses and mouths out of scraps of black cardstock.
We used green pasta noodles (dyed with vinegar and food coloring) for the stems. I attached them with hot glue.
The stems make great handles for the lids.
I set them out as decorations but I have a feeling they won't stay put very long since Goose likes to play with them.
If you're feeling extra creative you could make ghost or Frankenstein heads too. We may do that later in the week since we had so much fun making these Shoebox Pumpkins.

Plead The Fifth
This past weekend the Professor and I were enjoying a soggy evening with a little red vino while trying to determine the top five fly-fishing books of all time. We reached consensus pretty quickly on four great reads, but the jury is still out on the fifth slot. Take a look at what we came up with:
1. The River Why by David James Duncan. This is a personal favorite of mine. Adore this book because it's really just a great love story hidden in a fish story.
2. The Compleat Angler by Izaak Walton. I haven't read it, going with the masses here.
3. Trout Bum by John Gierach. Didn't blow my skirt up but I defer to the world on this one.
4. A River Runs Through It by Norman Maclean. I know, I know. We love to hate what this film did to our secret little sport. But I love it. I love Robert Redford, I love Norman Maclean, I love the writing. It's beautiful. It's literary. It's poetic. And even if you don't like it, you at least have to admit, without it we wouldn't have Buster.
5. ????
What's your ruling? Did we get it right?
Don't hold your tongue, instead plead your case for the fifth title to make the list.

In recent years there's been an influx of imported lower priced value hand planes hitting the market. Some are decent, some are marginal, some are a waste of money. In the lower price ranges, most newer planes use lower quality metal on all components, thinner blades, thinner castings, and poorer machining techniques. With an upgraded aftermarket blade, and some fettling, some of the low cost new planes can be made into useful tools, but many are an exercise in futility and frustration. Even those that are salvageable, won't necessarily hold setting properly due to the inadequacies of the metal and machining. Unfortunately, these cheaper handplanes often have the most appeal to the least experience element of the market, which is usually the least capable segment to transform a bad plane into capable plane, which can be extremely discouraging to someone trying to get started with hand planes.
My budget friendly solution has been to skip the cheap imports and build a collection of higher quality used planes like the venerable Stanley Baileys, Millers Falls, Record, Sargent, Craftsman, and even a highly regarded Stanley Bedrock plane. Most of these older planes have superior metallurgy and are made to tighter tolerances. There's usually still some sharpening and adjustments to be made, and often some elbow grease required, but overall many of these old planes simply have better bones to start with than a low cost import. There's even replacement parts available if needed, either from sellers who've stripped them from older planes, or from select hand plane retailers who carry newer replacement parts (Highland Hardware comes to mind). I've found that most of the better old planes have already been fettled and flattened at some point in time by an unknown user years ago. You also can't beat the nostalgia of a plane made in 1927 when Ford Model T's were the norm, or a 1939 pre-WWII hand plane built when the world was a different place. These things were built to last by proud craftsman who offered their best on a regular basis, before the bean counters, business moguls, and lawyers started dictating how things should be done. There's nothing quite like finding that first diamond in the rough. They can be found in many places...Ebay, yard sales, woodworking forum classified ads, auctions, etc,....better yet, they can be passed on from a relative! Prices can go from next to nothing to upwards of way too much, but for me, part of the fun is deciphering the deals from the steals.
One of the caveats of hunting down older planes is recognizing which are good and which were not so good. Most of the bigger names offered economy lines at some point in addition to their standard higher quality planes, or at least had eras of cheaper construction, which is one aspect that makes it a bit difficult for newbies to select good quality older planes. Most of these companies were in business long enough to go through several changes that reflect business philosophy changes, political turmoil, and economic changes. The lower lines are often associated with more painted parts, plastic handles, decals instead of embossing, lower quality metals used, fewer adjustments, etc. Some companies identify their econo planes with name or number changes, but some like Record did not. I'm far from an expert but my advice to newbies is to get familiar with parts and construction differences by comparing known higher end models so it'll become easier to recognize the lower end lines. There are also some excellent websites for identifying and typing older hand planes. RexMill.com, OldToolHeaven.com, Record-planes.com, CianPerez.com
Stanley offered a "Handyman" and a "Defiance" line that weren't quite to the Bailey standards, as well as other "non-Bailey" economy planes with the Stanley name. Sargent's best is the "VBM" line (supposedly for "Very Best Made") ....AFAIK, those not marked "VBM" were a step down. Millers Falls had an economy line that looked a little different and used a different numbering system. Their better line used a numbering system that identified the plane by length in inches…(ie: Millers Falls#9 is the Stanley equivalent of a #4, Millers Falls #14 = a Stanley #5, etc.). In the late 1950's Millers Falls introduced a cheaper #90 and #140...variations of their better #9 and #14, respectively. Other variations of the economy line followed in subsequent years…#900 and #814, and a teflon coated version were the #9790 and #9140 respectively, as well as a 8900 and 9814. Many used a decal on the lever cap instead of embossing in the metal. Record tended to keep the same name and numbering systems which makes it harder to identify the eras of cheaper planes, but they definitely had some #04s that were crudely finished and eliminated the frog adjustment screw. The good news is that most of the planes from the economy lines of these companies were still reasonably well made, and while not as desirable as their more prestigious siblings, can still be made to function, so don't fret much if you end up with one of these in your collection....just sharpen, adjust, and make some curls with it.
Below are several examples of economy lines along with better quality planes from the same company:
From Stanley:
Stanley Handyman #5 economy plane:
Here's a non-Bailey "Stanley" #5 economy plane (note things like the plastic handles, lack of frog adjustment screw, non-brass blade depth adjusting knob, stamped steel lateral blade adjuster ):
Here's a higher quality 1927 Stanley Bailey #5-1/2 type 13 (one of my most treasured planes):
From Millers Falls:
Millers Falls economy #900 (Stanley #4 equivalent) (note the decal and painted cap iron)
A higher quality Miilers Falls #14 (Stanley #5 equivalent) (note the hardwood handles and polished cap iron):
From Record:
A Record #04 from a "lesser" era…no frog adjustment screw, plastic handles, crudely finished.:
A similar looking, but better quality Record 04 from a slightly older era...this one has a frog adjuster and good fit and finish:
An older style high quality Record 04-1/2 (one of my nicest planes):
Here's an example of a new modern era Groz hand plane made overseas. It "looks" great doesn't it? ...but is not made to the same standards as the older Stanley Bailey, Record, or Millers Falls planes of yesteryear. Just about every aspect is lesser quality, and is more likely to be prone to chatter and need a lot of tweaking. I do like the engraved logo on the side though.
This is not to single out Groz as a bad apple...Anant, Footprint, Great Lakes, and others could also be made similar examples of. While marketed as a cut
above and appearing to be a true step up, even the new Woodriver and Stanley Sweetheart lines are still a bit suspect in my view compared to the better older planes and modern high end planes. There's always the sure fire option of buying new a Lie Nielsen, Veritas, or Clifton hand plane, but if you can't justify the price, or just enjoy resurrecting an antique, the older planes offer a great low cost alternative. Then again, maybe you'll choose to "roll your own" as our own Matt Seiler from "MSWOODcraft" does!

Portman's hair hordeShaven haired Natalie Portman has kept her chopped-off locks in a bag - because she can't bear to part with them.
The screen beauty, who had the skinhead cut for her latest role in forthcoming movie 'V For Vendetta', admitted she has held on to her long hair as a keepsake.
She said: "It might seem gross but I loved my hair."
Fans are now hoping that Portman's locks will be sold on internet auction site eBay.
Earlier this week, it was revealed the 'Star Wars' beauty, who plays Queen Amidala in the sci-fi series, was mistaken for Irish singer Sinead O'Connor after lopping off her brunette bob.
A source close to the star said: "People keep thinking Natalie is Sinead. But she thinks it's hilarious and loves the comparison."
Despite her shaved head, the actress sent pulses racing at the Cannes premiere of 'Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith' when she arrived in a low-cut black dress on Sunday (18.05.05).
She was joined by a galaxy of stars including Samuel L. Jackson, 'Desperate Housewives' actress Eva Longoria, Sharon Stone and 'Star Wars' creator George Lucas.

Since Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was released in 2008, fans have been wondering when the next chapter of the franchise was going to arrive. While Kingdom of the Crystal Skull may have had a polarizing effect on fanbase opinions, $768 million in worldwide box office receipts proved there was still plenty of interest in Indiana Jones.
In September of 2009, Harrison Ford admitted he, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas all "agreed on what the fifth adventure will concern," which he later described as "crazy, but great."
Last year, it was rumored Indiana Jones 5 (working title) might include a trip to the Bermuda Triangle, but months later, Ford said he had yet to see " anything on paper" for a fifth installment.
Last month, Shia LaBeouf said a fifth Indiana Jones movie was "not so far off" revealing Ford was "staying in the gym" and that Lucas was working on the plot of the movie. In a recent interview with Extra, Ford remained coy about progress on Indy 5, though he admitted he would like to return to the iconic role.
I don't know if it will happen. I don't know when it'll happen. It's in the hands of others at the moment. I would like us to make another Indiana Jones movie. I would like us to make a really good Indiana Jones movie and I would be happy to be involved. I love working with Steven, I love working with George. It'd be fun.
Saying he would like to make "a really good Indiana Jones movie" somewhat implies he was unhappy with the way Kingdom of the Skull turned out, an opinion that LaBeouf made public last year when he said he felt the sequel "dropped the ball" and that Ford "wasn't happy with it either." Ford later retaliated against LaBeouf's comments calling his onscreen son a "f**king idiot", admitting LaBeouf is "ambitious, attentive, and talented" but is still learning "how to deal with a situation which is very unique and difficult." Those comments seem to show Ford is more experienced with handling the media while doing press for a movie, which could explain his suddenly vague commentary, or, he could also be telling the whole truth.
In a separate interview with EW, Ford claimed Indy 5 was just "rumors" while also admitting he wouldn't be against the iconic character dying in a fifth installment.
I always want my characters to die. I thought Han Solo should have died at the end of the last Star Wars movie, just because it seemed right for the character. And I'd be happy to make another Indiana Jones movie — but at this point it's all just rumors.
We're on the fence about the prospect of seeing Indiana Jones die in a sequel, which might be worse than vine-swinging monkeys.

Can anyone give me info on the Cinemart on Gov Prinz? I can't find any info anywhere, but, I stop to look at it every time I'm in the area. What a mystery. The only thing I can tell is that I was built in the 60's due to the chandelier and font on the front sign.

Wednesday Sept 10, 2008
BOSTON (AP) -- The Boston Celtics have extended the contract of
coach Doc Rivers, who led the team to its first championship in 22
years. Rivers guided the Celtics to a 66-16 regular season record and
the franchise's 17th title last season. It was the biggest
single-season turnaround in league history, following Boston's 24
wins the year before.
Celtics general manager Danny Ainge says Rivers is the man to
lead the team "now and in the future." Rivers has a 168-160
record in four seasons as Celtics coach. The team did not disclose terms of the deal.

Pickering Beach
Pickering Beach is considered by its residents and weekenders as "our little piece of heaven". Located about a mile away, East of The Dover Air Force Base, right on the Bay, and at a very convenient distance of barely an hour, from Wilmington, Delaware.
On May 17, 1999 , Bruce Babbitt, U. S. Secretary of Interior, visited the Pickering Beach and Bombay Hook, to witness the spectacular seasonal convergence of horseshoe crabs, migratory birds and people, and unite the state and federal officials to take steps to prevent this cycle -- benefittting business and ecology -- from unraveling. A dramatic increase in harvest of horseshoe crabs used for eel and conch bait, has led to rapid declines in eggs, mature adults and all shorebirds -- Red Knots, Ruddy Turn Stone, Semipalmated Sandpiper and Sanderlings -- which fuel up on the eggs before migrating North. The pictures above were taken at Pickering Beach. It was at that time that Pickering established a public access to the beach and officially became a protector of horseshoe crabs. There is an artile in The Bird Calls newsletter, dated August, 1999, <Volume 3, No. 2, Contents p.2> which reads as follows:"Despite the coordinated effors by the conservation community led by AC, National Audobon, Worl Wildlife Fund, and Defenders of Wildlife, the horseshoe crab and the migratory shorebirds that depend on its eggs, remain in jeopardy. Continued fishing pressure on the crab for the eel and conch fisheries has not been adequately addressed by Virginia and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC). U. S. Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt brought national attention to the plight of the horseshoe crab by holding a press conference on the Delaware Bay calling on the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission to imorse coast-wide limits on the taking of horseshoe crabs. Unfortunately , the ASMFC horseshoe crab panel met earlier this month, and despite pleas from concersationist, did not act to set coast wide quotas for 2000 as agreed upon in it Management Plan adpted last year. The Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC)has set Virginia's horseshoe crab landing levels at 26 times the historic landing levels for the state. This action undermines the tough conservation actions taken by New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware. Efforts to appeal to Virginia Governor Gilmore to overturn the VMRC decision, have yet to succeed. Virginia permited a 3,200% increase in it landings last year as harvesters and processors restricted by DE, NJ, and MD's limits simply exploited a loophole in Virginia's laws and landed their crabs there. Readers are urged to write to Governor Gilmore to express their concerns. Contact: Gerald Winegrad, ABC, <email@example.com>, or Perry Plumart, National Audobon, <firstname.lastname@example.com>."

2 Year Anniversary of Fukushima: The Accident Is NOT Contained
Nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen said today that the containment vessel at Fukushima reactor 2 has a large crack in it. Reactors 1, 2 and 3 all exploded. BBC reports today:
They know very little about what's going on inside Reactors 1, 2, and 3 [...] They don't really know what the state of the reactor core is.
Indeed, there is no containment at Fukushima.
Large quantities of radiation are still leaking into the Pacific Ocean. And see this.
The operator of the Fukushima plants says it's "impossible" to keep storing radioactive water in tanks, and Tepco will need to intentionally dump it into the ocean.
The area around Fukushima has become so contaminated that even the trees are radioactive.
And Tokyo is almost as irradiated as Fukushima.
Agence France-Presse notes:
Beach walkers are likely to encounter a disturbing but relentless flow of flotsam [from Japan] for years to come.
American sailors were exposed to massive doses of radiation. Conditions were so bad that they considered suicide. Many of these good men and women are now really sick. More here, here and here. (But both the Japanese and American governments have abandoned them.)
Tepco might not even meaningfully start working to decommission the plants until the radiation level drops ... decades from now (Or until the technology exists to clean it up.)
It has now been officially admitted that the accident was caused by collusion between the government and nuclear industry.
A worker at the Fukushima nuclear plan succinctly notes:
Even an elementary-school kid knows TEPCO always lies.
We have been fooled by the government ...
We don't mean to pick on Japan. After all, the American government is dictating nuclear policy in Japan. American reactors are even more dangerous than Fukushima. And a secret report confirms that Southern California Edison knew of major problems at the San Onofre nuclear plant ... but let the slipshod expansion and remodeling project continue anyway.

denial that either one exists came first
cant believe the number of commenters that deny radiation is bad
good grief
you would think with all the cancer and odd diseases and massive numbers for children with autism that people might realize that all the radiation from detonating 2700 or so nukes on this planet and pissing chemicals into the environment just might be having some negative consequences
to deny fukushima is an enormous problem is fucking absurd
but there are trolls ahead, and deny they will
as for japan, imho, its uninhabitable now
why would anyone want to stay and be slowly poisoned
Alright -
I read the entire comment list for this one. Fits perfectly that poster Bonzai made of the typical ZH thread. Now that is a poster I would purchase.
Care to post a link to it? I missed that one.
Thank you for the hysteria and absurdity we have come to rely on.
Do you really believe that the trees weren't radioactive before Fukushima was flooded? Have you never heard of normal back ground radiation? How many times more radiation is there, now, than normal? The radiation level keeps dropping. You give no hard facts, just speculation and fearmongering.
Regarding radioactive water being flushed into the ocean. The oceans covers 70% of the earth. The Pacific Ocean contains about 622 million cubic Km of water. That's a lot of water to dilute a hundred thousand cubic meters of radioactive water in. So much sea water that Fukushima's water would hardly raise the current level more than a fraction of a percent. It's just that we have very sensitive instruments now.
No one has died from Fukushima, while 15 thousand are dead or missing from the Tsunami. Nor have any children proven to be hurt, because the government has been giving them iodine tablets.
TEPco is a regulated monopoly. Regulated monopolies are problematic because they believe they are protected from consequences by the government.
Another hysteric, like you on the link above, offered to send me to Fukushima. I offered to go and stay five years. Since I am seventy years old, the radiation levels, beyond a mile away from the plant, would not lower my life expectancy much. Two weeks after the Tsunami, radiation at a mile out was 24 microSv per hour. It is probably a quarter of that now, so I would get 53 milliSv in a year. This is about the same that the max exposure for a radiation worker. I am likely to die from natural causes in twenty years, so extra radiation won't make much difference.
Hysterics never place things in perspective. Then they are disappointed because their crisis mongering never pans out. But then they move on to some new crisis.
There really is a crisis coming: when the Dollar becomes toilet paper. There is nothing we can do, but ride it out. You are more likely to die from a dollar collapse than from radiation. But, you hysterics obsess about the wrong things.
The argument of "dilution of the radiation" now used by the nuclear industry and it's minions in the government in Japan, is wrong. It totally ignores the fact the radioactive contamination accumulates in the foodchain. This process of bioaccumulation is well known.
In your post the assumption that the "accident is under control". There's a continuous stream of hundreds of thousands of bequerels every moment, into the environment, and there's no technology to clean it up, or even to contain it.
No one died? There are many dying in Japan, because of the consequences of having ingested the "muscle seeker" Ceasium 135 and 137. Do a search for "Chernobyl Heart". Popular TV personalities, who ate fukushima food on camera to prove the safefy? Long dead. Athletes practicing for their next Olympic bout? Long dead. Fukushima workers? Yes there are a number of them already dead. But that doesn't show up on your computer screen, now does it? Just like many other things...
In Belarus, after 4-5 years children started to show thyroïd gland abnormalities. Most of these developed Thyroïd cancer later. In Japan already after 2 years these "nodules" started to appear, in more than 40% of the tested children. Cancers will develop later. The statements of the WHO and IAEA are disingeneous, and since they purposely ignored and even have suppressed the findings of scientific research after Chernobyl. YABLOKOV WAS RIGHT!
Please WATCH THIS? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZR_Fvp3RrQ
I don't know if they're just psychopathic power hungry men (nuclear=miliairy) or that there's an agenda of genocide at the heart of this. Either one is not just evil but stupid, if they expect this to be over in 50 or even a 100 years. The pathetic death cult of nuclear has their highly educated supporters fooled..
THere's no technology to clean up or even stop the ongoing disaster, every day there's hundreds of thousands of bequerels of radioactive contamination spewing from the molten down reactors. The situation is deteriorating, the structures of the buildings is slowly turning into pulp and TEPCO is running out of workers. Who's going to "service" Daiichi in 50 years? A hundred?
The last two years, after the disaster of Fukushima, in the media and in official statements of the US, UK and Japanese governments there's been a denial of the true size of the disaster. Popular "intellectuals" such as Monbiot attacked scientists and doctors that warned the public of the scale of this disaster.
Only now, because of industry whistleblowers, and because the true suffering of the japanese people cannot be hidden, the tide is turning and more are becoming aware of it. The BBC has long downplayed or obfusciated the facts about is. Now, 2 years on, the're finally recognising the reality? No, not really... there's more to this..
Fukushima Reactor #3 blew up, NOT because of hydrogen, but because of the UNSTABLE MOX (PLUTONIUM) FUEL. THat's the BBC's lie this time. THe nuclear industry wants to continue, building bombs, building new big and small plants, and use the Plutonium as fuel. Even though it's too unstable, to be used in nuclear plants, and even though Japan's geography is even more unstable, than before the march 2011 earthquake, the first shipment of MOX already planned for shipping to Japan.
THe nuclear industry has NEVER been able to run the plants without huge public subsedies. At first this was explained as startup cost, but now they're not even capable of keeping their waste in a safe place. Through deceit they're trying to cut cost, and members of Congress are now pressuring the NRC to not make filters on vents on BWR (same type of reactor as Daiichi) mandatory in the USA. They obviously don't give a damn. Despite public protest, and through corrupted politicians, and media's silence they'll try to push these MOX reactors everywhere. STAY THE COURSE!
THe media only now, after 2 years prints this information: http://mainichi.jp/english/english/newsselect/news/20130222p2a00m0na0090...
where did you get this lie that the children were given iodium pills from? have you no shame sir!
If you're a 70 year old man, like you said you are, and you're married, you'd most likely have grandchildren.
I'd go to them, now you're still alive, and if you have the balls, apologise to them, on your knees, for the disgusting deeds your generation did to the planet.
They'll most likely have deformed children, themselves, if any, if they've been exposed already.
I don't have to call you names, or anything. You know this now, and you will know it the rest of your life. It's fucked and didn't have to be.
this guy told the japanese what to do, and they did it. http://csis.org/expert/john-j-hamre
here's the informative interview about "fuel fleas" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zml97G-odeM
here's the info on japanese kids:http://enenews.com/report-now-over-44-of-fukushima-children-tested-have-...
this is not thyroïd cancer, but it's a significant deviation of the situation before Fukushima blew up (the kids did not have thyroïd nodules)
Medical Journal Article: 14,000 U.S. Deaths Tied to Fukushima Reactor Disaster Fallout
Excess U.S. Deaths After Fukushima Rise From 14,000 To 22,000 After Analysis Updated
Sorry for the quality of the 'evidence' but peer reviewed medical journal reports are the best evidence I can provide at short notice, apologies.
Well put, Urban. GW really just seems to enjoy always knowing "the real story". The "real" story always involves something "they're not telling us" or facts being hushed up, papered over, or "ignored". Fucking sad, when you boil it down.
The notion that things are "really" so much worse than reported in Fukushima and Japan, and that only he and his small band of merry know the "truth", is too absurd to refute. I actually developed a lot of respect for the Japanese media during the entirety of the crisis. I have full confidence that if indeed the situation was deteriorating, we'd be hearing about it from reputable sources with hard data.
I shouldn't be down on ole GW, though, he's clearly preachin to the choir here. Heaps of ignorant, mysanthropic assnozzles in this place...
I fail to see that hysteria helps anyone. The real difficulty is finding a reasonable report. Anti-nuke activists are at work here. They don't know enough science to present a reasonable case, even if they wanted to. This is why they use bequerels instead of Sieverts or RADs.
I never said that there weren't health problems at Fukushima, or that the Japanese government had acted appropriately. TEPco is scum as far as I am concerned. But, GW cannot be trusted to know what the real situation is.
The point is that the amount of radiation is dying because of radioactive decay of short half lived elements. Even the Cesium will be gone in 300 years. It will nearly undetectable long before that.
This is a health hazard, not a catastrophe. Chernobyl is inapplicable to Fukushima; the carbon core of that reactor was set on fire. None of that happened at Fukushima, as screwed up it was.
If millions of tons of Arsenic were dumped at Fukushima it would remain a health hazard forever, not just for fifty to seventy five years. Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been rebuilt and are less radioactive than Leadville, Colorado, USA. None of them have high cancer rates or mutations.
Too much of what Anti-Nuke activists, like Reptil, say is wrong. Not one of the radiation workers at Fukushima has died, but they have approached their yearly limits, so they can't work. Fukushima #3 did not have a nuclear explosion; the concentrations are too low. Nor is there a primary nuclear reaction going on. The heat being produced is through secondary radioactive decay which is disappearing fairly fast.
I am totally opposed to light water or boiling water reactors; there are much safer designs now.
No I have no grand children to apologize to, nor would it be necessary. They would get a higher dose of radiation from living down wind of a coal burning power plant than twenty miles upwind of Fukushima. As time goes on young people can move closer without risk. The elderly could move back now without lowering their lifespan.
Anti-Nuke activists display their ignorance in talking about deformed children. They are delusive or brainwashed.
this is your hero, eh you nutjob? fuck you and the pale horse you rode in on.
CRIIRAD gamma measurements Fukushima summer 2012
Let's see, 500 counts per second equals .84 microsieverts an hour or 7,358 microsieverts a year. The radiation worker one year dose is 50,000 microseverts a year. So, Fukushima is experiencing outside, one year after the Tsunami, one eighth that of a radiation worker. Readings would be much lower inside, but CRIIRAD shows no readings. The lowest dosage clearly linked to increases in cancer is twice the max radiation dosage or 100,000 microsieverts.
CRIIRAD is exaggerating the danger. Worse, we are supposed to take it's word that it knows what the dangers are.
This is not the place for you, so take the hint and find a pro-nukufuku blog.
It's either that, or you are a paid fucking troll.
Brought to you by Carl's Junior
Clearly, urbanretard and septimusmaxipad are either paid shills for the nuke industry or are two of the stupidest humans on the planet. Or quite likely, both. Either way they should go to Fukushima and work for tepco since they are paying a lot of yen for easy work in a perfectly safe environment.
Nope, I'm a retired electrical engineered who knows how to read. I'm curious about a lot of topics. I suggest a book, "The health hazards of NOT going Nuclear" by Dr. Petr Beckmann. I read it in early 70's. Probably, that was before you were born.
I worked all my life in industry and learned how to assess tradeoffs. My IQ is 142, but IQ is only important if you know how to think. I know some very bright, but limited, people in academia who have no way of judging risks.
I have no need for TEPco's money. I got in early in Microsoft and Apple. I got out of Apple after Steve Jobs left. I bought Apple stock at $15 a share in 1997 and got out a couple years ago. My money is in land, precious metals and guns now.
UrbanBard you are a scumbag and i would like to find the most radioactive area and just drop you there and leave you there in the middle of it
Look buddy, you may note that I am one of the biggest critics of the "Fukushima hysterics" around here, but in fact he does have hard facts, presents them in a (reasonably) measured way, and follows through with this musings in further articles.
The nuclear breakdown at Fukushima was a titanic catastrophe and to pretend otherwise is just, well, stupid.
You hardly make your case by saying you're 70 (!) and you volunteer to go to Fukushima for 5 year...that's not the point. Most of the elderly have also elected to stay there. It is the young that have actual measurable cause for concern.
I happen to beleive that DESPITE the gov't ineptitude and TEPCO criminality, the Japanese people will work together to MITIGATE this catastrophe but it will be a multi-generational sturggle parsed out a day at a time.
You're most noticeable outright lie is that no children have been hurt is particularly troubling to me. 4 children we diagnosed with thyroid cancer directly attributed to the disaster but because they are being very closely monitored and because Japan has one of the most advanced medical systems in the world, they were all operated on and are in remission. This is to say nothing of the kids who's chance for e future employment has been wiped out at a stroke, are forced to play indoors because of observable contamination and must endure scrubdowns after going from place to place.
There has been insane hysterics on ZH about this (my favorite? "Japan will be uninhabitable in 5 years!!!) none of which is constructive, but to treat this as anything less than the largest threat the Japanese have faced in forever would be to do a great disservice to reality.
I'd like to add that, depending on the TYPE of dollar collapse, we may all very well die of radiation...the two are no mutually exclusive.
I have my criticisms about how TEPco and the Japanese government acted. It is not a lie to say that I have seen no evidence that children have been hurt. Please give me a reliable citation which proves your argument. I did not say that there wouldn't be health problems, but they are minor compared to 15 thousand dead or missing in the Tsunami.
I was trying to give some perspective. Fukushima was a serious industrial accident but it is not a titanic catastrophe. More people will die in Japan from the coming financial meltdown than from radiation. The rate at which the BOJ is diluting the money supply is unsustainable. Japan cannot feed its population when the Yen become worthless.
I said I would go to live at Fukushima for five years as a reply to an absurd dare. I was trying to dilute the hysteria. I've done the math; I'm likely to live another twenty to twenty five years. I will probably die from cancer anyway, since many old people do.
I've seen many scenarios of how the US Dollar collapses and some of them include nuclear war. They are possible but improbable. If war breaks out, it would likely be between states after the European Union breaks up. Another possibility is between Russia and China. China desperately needs the resources which Siberia has and Russia looks very weak. I can see the possibility of nuclear terrorist attacks here, but even a dirty bomb would be difficult to implement. There are too many closer and weaker targets.
he does have 'hard facts'
you use the term too loosely
And you use the word "too" to casually. The information he presents, while some of it is cringeingly self-referential, is a good synposis of the "counter" side of the arguement of the J-gov narrative. As good as one can find in English language print.
Too much "green" propaganda.
There have been no casualties from radiation so far.
There are no numbers about the amount of radiation.
It´s all guesswork.
statements apart from the usual (industry) trolling?
Let's remember that TEPCO actually photoshopped pictures of unit 4 to hide structural problems: http://enenews.com/tepco-releases-badly-altered-image-unit-4-photo
Nother 8.0 hits and ... fuck.
This is all very depressing. Anybody willing to turn off their lights?
I've seen your movie:
Al Gore took the game too seriously too...
cheers -
Meat and meat from wild boar black bear Gunma radioactive material that exceeds the new reference value (100 Bq / kg) has been detected.
Deer meat from Iwate radioactive material exceeding the new reference value (100 Bq / kg) has detected
Been issued.
from Fukushima Prefecture fact that some individuals are more than the provisional reference value (500 Bq / kg).
GW, ya little fuckwit: when will you ever admit that you are emotionally incontinent? No radiation spreading all over Japan. No millions of tons of post-tsunami debris hitting our coast. No nothing.
Instead, conspiracy theories are required --- the whole world is "in on it".
It's gotta suck being you.
GW must be severely depressed.
Things would be so much simpler had anyone actually died.
What an idiot GW is!
You know, GW draws the most vitriolic spawn of "dissidents". One wonders why the ad hominem slashers rise like a cloud of mosquitoes out of moist grass on a warm summer evening whenever GW posts about Fukushima (or the Gulf of Mexico for that matter).
Seems to me he's hitting close to home for some "people".
Exactly, when one becomes a lightning rod, indeed hitting close to home, exposing the nuke cartel.
'Fukushima Equals 3,000 Billion Lethal Doses'"Dr Paolo Scampa, a widely know EU Physicist, single handedly popularized the easily understood Lethal Doses concept. "Lethal Doses" is a world wide, well understood idea that strips Physics bare and offers a brilliant, understandable explanation for all the physics gobbledygook Intelligence agencies and their respective governments use to disguise the brutal truths of the Fukushima Daiichi Disaster."
"Three thousand billion (3,000,000,000,000) Lethal Doses of Radiation means there are 429 Lethal Doses chasing each and every one of us on the planet, to put it in a nutshell. This is up from about 70 Billion Lethal Doses March 23, 2011. It is getting worse everyday without any intervention by the US and the other nuclear powers…."
"Note that the lethality of radioactive reactor cores goes up the first 250,000 years they are out of the reactor – not down."
Whether you agree or not, effinayright, if you've been breathing since 3/11/11, your lungs are full of plutonium.
Good luck either way.
Whether you agree or not, effinayright, if you've been breathing since 3/11/11, your lungs are full of plutonium.
I can tell from your extremely well-informed comment that you know precisely fuckall about plutonium. If you can't sit at the adult's table, don't.
sadly, he's partially right. so called "fuel fleas" are everywhere in the northern hemisphere.
some facts:
a very informative interview
LOL, I'm coughing already, buy only because I choked on a sandwich bite when I saw your laughable comment.
what about that japanese freighter the coast guard had to sink off the coast of AK. just a few tons there
A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works. I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love... Yes, a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I — I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women, er, women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake...but I do deny them my essence.
The Tantra is strong in you, Jack D.
make me a drink of rain water and grain alcohol, and one for yourself Mandrake
Jack D., you've captured GW perfectly!

Workers who helped finish the cleanup of Rocky Flats more than a year ahead of time may have worked themselves out of health and pension benefits.
Because work at the former nuclear weapons plant was completed early, up to 70 employees haven't completed enough time to qualify for pensions or medical and life insurance.
Colorado Senators Wayne Allard and Ken Salazar introduced an amendment to a defense bill to allocate 15-million dollars to cover those workers.
But the U.S. Senate today killed it.
The government will save about 500-million dollars because the cleanup at Rocky Flats finished well ahead of the December 2006 deadline.
Allard says workers shouldn't have been penalized for getting the job done early.

Needless to say, pyramid building is hard work. The workers would need at least 45 to 50 grams of protein a day, Redding said. Half of this protein would likely come from fish, beans, lentils and other non-meat sources, while the other half would come from sheep, goat and cattle, he estimated. Milk and cheese were probably not consumed due to transportation problems and the cattle's low milk yield during that time, Redding said.
Combining these requirements and other protein sources with the ratio of the bones (and the amount of meat and protein one can get from an animal), Redding determined about 11 cattle and 37 sheep or goats were consumed each day.
This would be in addition to supplying workers with grain, beer and other products.
In order to maintain this level of slaughter, the ancient Egyptians would have needed a herd of 21,900 cattle and 54,750 sheep and goats just to keep up regular delivery to the Giza workers, Redding estimates.
The animals alone would need about 155 square miles (401 square kilometers) of territory to graze. Add in fallow land, waste land, settlements and agricultural land for the herders, and this number triples to about 465 square miles (1,205 square km) of land — an area about the size of modern-day Los Angeles. Even so, this area would take up just about 5 percent of the present-day Nile Delta.
These animals also needed herders — likely one herder for every six cattle and one herder for every 50 sheep or goats, based on ethnographic observations. This brings the total number of herders to 3,650 overall and, once their families are included, 18,980, just under 2 percent of Egypt's estimated population at the time.
These herds would have been spread out in villages across the Nile Delta, then brought to the workers' town at Giza to be slaughtered and cooked. At the end of their lives, the animals were likely kept in the southern part of the town, in a recently unearthed structure that researchers have dubbed the "OK corral." ("OK" stands for "Old Kingdom," the time period in which the Giza pyramids were built.) The structure, which includes two small enclosures where animals may have been slaughtered and a rounded pen, is partly hidden under a modern-day soccer field. [Image Gallery: Amazing Egyptian Discoveries]
The research revealed interesting details about life in the workers' town. For instance, the overseers — who lived in a structure the archaeologists call the "north street gatehouse" — got to eat the most cattle, and those living in an area called the "galleries," where the everyday workers lived, ate mainly sheep and goats.
Redding said it wasn't surprising that the overseers preferred to dine on beef, considering it was the most valued meat in ancient Egypt. "Cattle is, of course, the highest-status meat," he said, noting that it appears far more frequently then sheep or goat in tomb scenes, and that pigs never appear in tomb scenes.
The settlement located adjacent to the workers' town, dubbed "eastern town," wasn't as rigidly planned as workers' town, and its residents were eating a considerable number of pigs, the researchers found. Evidence also suggested the people in eastern town were trading with people in workers' town for hippo-tusk fragments.

Flawed Flawed FlawedWeeman0313 | April 27, 2013 | Review of Mars War Logs - PC
This game seemed quite interesting, and for $16.00 I figured I'd give this game the benefit of the doubt and give it a try. New IP from a new company might as well see how it goes. Well turns out this game is almost on par with Alpha Protocol in terms of.... everything. Dialog and facial expressions look incredibly awkward. The story seems interesting which was also a strong point of Alpha Protocol but unfortunately it is the only good part of the game. You can tell Mars: War Logs gets a lot of combat influence from The Witcher 2 but implements it in an atrocious matter. Rolling does absolutely nothing as enemies are autoaimed at you during your rolls (they will literally adjust perfectly during swings and aiming to hit you while you dodge). Lock on is annoying and does only applies to auto attacks while your skills will still aim wherever you are facing (so if you try to roll away and use a skill you will immediately use it in the direction you rolled instead of adjusting then using the skill). This is an average game at best which could have been so much more if more time was put into it.

Great stealth gamemasterjjx | June 5, 2013 | Review of Deus Ex Human Revolution (1) - PC
Dues Ex was one of the few games I beat and love everyone moment of it. The game had a average story line and thinking back on it, I don't remember what the story was about except the beginning. The story was very linear but that's not a bad thing. The game can be played in two ways, a first person shooter or a tactical stealth action. I can't say much about the shooter because I player the game through stealth. The graphics were amazing if you can handle it and would love to see a squeal.

Raleigh Aquarium Society Workshop and Auction Flyer
the native fish collecting trip sounds cool. wish we had cool stuff like this in minnesota.
I have not been on one but they bring the collected fish back to the auction and give them away. Last year they collected some nice looking Darters (Genus Percina)that might have been a Percina rex. They had similar very nice reddish dorsal coloration. I'm wishing for some madtom catfish this year.
You would think with all of the lakes in MN that their would be an interest in natives.

Humble Beginnings
Founded in 1938, Columbia Sportswear makes apparel, footwear, accessories and equipment that have earned a reputation for innovation, quality and performance. No matter what you're outdoor adventures or travel plans entail, Columbia offers comfortable, durable styles with innovative technologies to keep you warm, dry, cool and protected. They include: Performance Fishing Gear (PFG), winter jackets and boots, rain jackets, hiking shoes and clothes, baselayers and fleece.
However, Columbia's reputation as an innovative company with quality products didn't come overnight—rather, it came from overseas.
Let's set the scene: The year is 1937, and Paul and Marie Lamfrom have left Germany for Portland, Oregon. In a year's time they'll have purchased a small business and transformed it into Columbia Hat Company, named after the river that runs through the city. And like that river, Columbia Sportswear will flow to the far reaches of the United States and beyond, paving the way for an outerwear revolution.
Since their humble beginnings, Columbia has gone through a few changes. But after 70 years, who hasn't?
As you've probably guessed, it didn't take Columbia long to start selling more than just hats—their extensive catalogue offers apparel, footwear and accessories for a wide variety of outdoor activities. From skiers gliding through fresh powder to anglers fishing down rivers, Columbia has the right gear for all your outdoor adventures.
One of the most innovative decisions the company made was Columbia's decision to independently develop all their technology. While this choice was initially made following difficulties with their vendors, Columbia's move to independent manufacturing is what helped spur their future success. They shook up the ski industry with the Bugaboo Parka in 1986, and haven't stopped creating since.
Gert Boyle and her son Tim took over the company in 1970, serving as the Chairman and CEO, respectively. They still hold these posts today. In fact, in the 80's, they even starred in their own advertisements for Columbia.
Calling All Explorers
At any given moment, somewhere in the world, there's an explorer clad in Columbia clothing who is shimmying up an exposed rock face, navigating a tough section of whitewater in a Class V rapid, or traipsing across a wildflower-filled meadow. Columbia gear runs the gamut from heavy-duty insulated down jackets to rain gear, fleeces, hats, duffel bags, durable footwear, and much more.
In 1986, the company released the Bugaboo Parka, featuring the brand's groundbreaking Interchange System—a patented technique which combines an outershell and inner jacket to create a three-in-one coat. The Bugaboo was a smashing success with downhill skiers. More recently, Columbia pioneered Omni-Dry, Omni-Freeze ZERO, Omni-Heat, and Omni-Shade technologies. Using these innovations, many of their products help the body stay dry, cool off, retain heat, and protect skin from harsh UV rays.
The Technology
Homemade. From Scratch. Handcrafted. Homegrown.
You get the idea.
From the Bugaboo Parka in 1986 to the Omni-Freeze ZERO in 2013, Columbia's reputation as an innovator can be experienced through their top-notch products. Here are some of the technologies they use to make it happen.
Stay Warm
Omni-Heat Reflective
What is it?
Omni-Heat Reflective provides a breathable, wicking layer that regulates your body temperature by reflecting little silver dots back to your skin.

Where can I find it?

Where can I find it?
What is it?

Stay Cool

Where can I find it?
Stay Protected
The Sun: Friend of Foe?
In either case, Omni-Shade keeps UVA and UVB rays away to stave off sunburns and long-term skin damage.
Where can I find it?
What is it?
You know those mornings where you spill coffee on yourself or you get caught in a rainstorm? Omni-Shield's stain and water repellency keeps you feeling dry and looking great.
Where can I find it?
What is it?
It's like a cloud…for your foot. And not like an internet storage cloud, but a real soft and comfy one—a cloud that delivers superior cushioning for a higher energy return with every step.
Where can I find it?
What is it?
Omni-Grip technology makes slips, falls and the worry that comes with them a thing of the past. Designed to grip rocks and loose gravel, this advanced material will have you running with purpose.
Where can I find it?

Really, how much has Matt Stover's absence hurt the Ravens?
I was a little late getting going this week, sort of like the Ravens in Cleveland on Monday night.
As we know, a win is a win. But that one was not particularly inspiring. At least the Ravens don't have to face an undefeated team on a short week this Sunday.
As for our free tab of the week based on the prediction for Sunday's game, you're all paying. Because the house won. Or at least I came the closest on both sides to predicting the 16-0 win. I had 24-6, and so did Frederick McMurray (a drink chip your way).
We all assumed a Ravens' beating for the Browns, but most of us overestimated the Raven's offense. There were three customers who predicted shutouts; the closest was 27-0.
So, yeah, the Ravens won, but there were plenty of red flags from that game. Most alarming was the continuing number of yellow flags. There's a fine line between aggressive and stupid.
Monday also marked the end of Steve Hauschka's Ravens career. Missing a 36-yarder and having an extra point blocked was not the way he needed to rebound.
Now the Ravens are kicker shopping with a more than a week to go before Black Friday. Not a good sign for a team that still has playoff hopes.
Forget Monday-morning quarterbacking, the Hauschka decision should create some Wednesday-morning placekicking. It's pretty obvious the Ravens should have stuck with fan favorite Matt Stover this season. His accuracy is definitely missed.
But how much? What I mean is how much different would this Ravens' team be with Stover, who is now with Sunday's opponent, the Indianapolis Colts? Would it still be in "long playoff run, Super Bowl talk" discussion?
One school of thought is that Stover would have given them a win against Minnesota and possibly one against Cincinnati. The other way of thinking: Stover is a kicker. If your team is lamenting the loss of its kicker, it's got bigger problems than missed field goals.
My opinion: Stover would help, for sure. But unless he can cover 6-foot-4 receivers, provide a pass rush and get to the line of scrimmage without a false start, I am not convinced Matt Stover is the difference between a playoff Ravens' team and an also-ran.
Then again, I am a baseball guy by trade. School me, people. Learn me, football gurus.

And the self-loathing continues.
It continues in the lyrics of rappers like Lil' Wayne, who in one of his songs rhymes "beautiful black woman, I bet that b*tch look better red."
Worse, a dark-skinned fan claimed on Bossip that when she asked him about using that lyric when his daughter is brown-skinned, he said that his daughter was a dark-skinned millionaire, and that made all the difference.
So what Lil' Wayne is saying is that being rich will enable his daughter to survive the defect of being dark.
What a horrible lesson to teach a child.
You also have magazines that can't manage to feature Beyonce, or Rihanna, or Halle Berry on the cover without making them look several shades lighter.
And you see it in the black youths and children who are exposed more to rappers and celebrity culture than they are to black history.
I've encountered black children calling each other black as an insult – something that should have stopped ages ago – which means between the insults, the magazine covers and the Lil' Waynes – a lot of dark-skinned children may grow up hating themselves.
So maybe a good part of black history ought to deal with black pride. Maybe we should revive that James Brown song so that skin bleaching doesn't pick up speed as a trend, and that dark-skinned black people don't lose sight of the fact that their color is something to be celebrated, not shunned.
It's sad that the bleaching celebrities probably won't learn from this as well – especially since they have the power to use their fame and money to revel in their blackness instead of trying to escape it.
And wind up encouraging other black people to do the same.

May 2, 2016
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) _ Police say the body of a 12 year old boy who wandered off from his parents' home was found Sunday in a lagoon not too far from his home.
Police Sergeant Mike Wilson says authorities found his body in a lagoon where neighbors said they saw him in the area Saturday after he was reported missing.
He says it appears the boy drowned but the boy's body will be sent to a crime lab for an official cause of death.
Wilson says there is no indication of foul play.
Authorities described the boy, Thy Nyugen, as autistic and unable to speak. His parents called police about Saturday evening to say their son had strayed from their Whitemarsh Island home.
