Craig,Can you secure something to the inside of the door that you can later remove and discard?Peter
Was it a piece of hardwood that released that much creosote?
If the oven's mass is hot enough to support the pyrolysis reaction needed to make charcoal then that same pyrolysis is creating flammable gas. If the door was airtight you would have a enclosed space full of flammable gases. I think it goes without saying that an enclosed space full of flammable gas is a potentially explosive environment.

Golf Tips Magazine gave The Power Play Warp Speed Irons an Editor's Pick award in their annual 2013 Golf Tips Annual Buyer's Guide!
Golf Tips Magazine said "Wow factor: A crazy low price for a set of irons as good as more, ahem, expensive irons we've tried." Golf Tips Magazine gave Hireko Golf 4 awards in the 2013 Golf Tips Annual Buyers Guide. View the Golf Tips Magazine awards winners here!
The Warp Speed Irons were specially designed to propel the ball faster and further than ever before, and the high C.O.R. iron face provides the ultimate in distance. Although distance is very important in high COR golf iron design, accuracy plays an even more prominent role and the Warp Speed Irons delivers here as well. These progressively designed irons, the #3 and #4-iron possess a wider body to react much like a cross between modern day hybrids, utility or driving irons for ease of play. The #5 iron and down on into the wedges appear much like a normal iron design at first glance. However, there is actually an open space between the rear wall and the unsupported, super thin specialty high COR golf iron face insert, which is devised to flex the face like a titanium driver to maximize ball speed and distance. The wide sole undercut channel further moves weight back away from the high COR irons face as well as low for added stability. The Power Play Warp Speed Irons are Hireko's most high performance face insert irons ever designed. If your goal is seeking an game improvement iron that is both longer and more accurate, the Power Play Warp Speed high cor irons should be the first choice from the Hireko line.
Meet the Power Play Warp Speed Progressive Set – Our Highest Performance Iron
When customers ask what our highest performance iron is, I don't hesitate to answer "It is the Power Play Warp Speed irons, of course". To understand why, we first have to start out how they were designed. Let's look at the modern set today. Chances are a player's bag consists of a 5-iron through the wedges and they try to match them with some sort of hybrid clubs for what used to be the longer, hard-to-hit irons. That is where our canvas began.
Where the challenge came was trying to include as many game improvement features we could into a product that looked "normal" at address. I think we accomplished that admirably. At first glance, from the 5-iron and down into the wedges look, these like any ordinary game improvement iron (moderate topline, medium width sole, ample face area, etc.) They even have an undercut channel to position the weight low and rearward for a high launch and pinpoint accuracy.
View Technical Director Jeff Summitt's Video Review of the Power Play Warp Speed Iron Below
Unless one was to cut the iron down the middle of the face, would they realize there is a hollow core between the rear wall and the face. This was done in order to push the weight back for even greater stability. Where this iron series shines is what we did to the face. By attaching a very thin specialty face insert to an unsupported frame, it allows the face to flex like a trampoline or the same reaction as a high COR wood. This is what provides it with more distance.
Then we added a progressively designed #3 and #4-iron-type club to the set to respond much like a cross between modern day hybrids, utility or driving iron all wrapped up into one. As you can see from the diagram, the 4-iron is wider than the 5-iron making it more forgiving and the 3-iron being the widest to help make it the most forgiving of them all. The iron profile allows for a seamless transition throughout the set.
If your goal is seeking high COR irons that are both longer and more accurate, the Power Play Warp Speed Irons should be the first choice from our line.

The Walking Dead
New show premiering on AMC, October 31st, 10/9c :
Awesome! I love zombie stories.
AMC might end up with the two best shows on TV. "Breaking Bad" being the other one. Of course, Sons of Anarchy is up there too.
This looks great. Zombie movies freak me out, but i love watching them.
"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear."
-Mark Twain
I've been looking for an excuse to post this article for over a week now!! Just call me Captain Buzzkill :
Post the rest of that article please. Cracked.com is blocked from work.
They Have Too Many Natural Predators
Do you know why we, as humans, are at the top of the current food chain? Not because we're hard to kill (well, with the exception of Steven Seagal). We're not; we're little more than tasty flesh bags waiting for an errant horn or claw to spill our guts like a meat pinata. No, we're on top simply because we are so absurdly good at killing things ourselves. A good offense, as they say, is the best de-LOOK THERE'S A DUCK! MURDER IT!
We are simply too smart and too well-armed for any wild animal to hunt. Now consider the poor zombie. It lacks every single advantage that has kept humanity from being eaten to extinction. It wanders around in the open, it can't use weapons, it can't think or use strategy. It doesn't even have the sense of self preservation to run and hide when it's in danger. And, it's made entirely out of food. It's easy prey for any animal that wants it.
If you're saying, "Sure, but it's not like my city is full of bears that can come eat all the zombies," you need to think smaller. Insects are a major pain in the ass for living humans, and in some cases, being able to swat away flies and having an immune system is the only thing keeping us from having our eyes and tongues eaten out by maggots. Zombies in any part of the world with a fly problem are going to be swarming with maggots in short order, meaning that most of their soft tissues will be infested, and their eyes will be very quickly useless.
We'll scale up a bit: In America alone, we have bears, wolves, coyotes and cougars, all of which can put well-armed, thinking, fast-moving humans on the menu, if the conditions are right. To most predators, the "right conditions" are when the animal is weak or infirm, or otherwise generally unable to defend themselves, like a walking corpse. Hell, just think of the millions of stray dogs out there who'll quickly learn that zombies are an easy meal.
Not so disgusting now, are they? OK, yeah, but show a little respect.
Now imagine zombie hordes wandering Africa. Between lions and cape buffalo (and hippos, and rhinos, and elephants), we'd finally have a disease that Africa is better suited than the rest of the world to defend itself against.
They Can't Take the Heat
It's generally accepted by zombie experts that they're going to continue to rot, even as they shamble around the streets. What the movies fail to convey, however, is the gruesome yet strangely hilarious effect the hot sun has on a rotting corpse.
The first concern is putrefaction. Thanks to the plethora of bacteria we use in our colon for digesting plant matter, called gut flora, our bodies are ripe for decay the second our heart stops. Since heat speeds the growth of bacteria (which are plenty happy to start feasting on you once your immune system is no longer a concern) the zombie's got a looming expiration date the very second it turns.
Dead bodies bloat because of the gases created by the bacteria, meaning that in warmer areas even Abercrombie Zombies are going to start getting fat in the first few days. After a few weeks of this, the nasty, bloated zombie army is going to start doing something that is simultaneously the most awesome and disturbing thing a zombie can do: they will start exploding (CAUTION! Pictures!). The warm, moist conditions in the tropical and subtropical parts of the world (or even just summer in the temperate parts) speeds this condition, meaning a July zombie outbreak pretty much anywhere would be over in a few weeks just by virtue of the rampaging monsters bursting like rancid meat balloons.
At the other end of the heat spectrum is dry heat. If you're in Phoenix or the Sahara when the apocalypse hits, the zombies might begin to mummify in the blazing sun and heat. While the normal symptoms of dehydration are not a concern for a zombie, there is the problem of desiccation. With no reasonable means of replenishing the water in their cells, zombies walking around in the Texas heat all day are going to suffer cell damage due to direct sun exposure to their skin, and thanks to the drying effect wind has, the Southwestern dead will stumble around more and more ineffectively until, at some point, they simply drop and wait for the scavengers to come pick them up for the annual Slim Jim harvest.
So they'd better hope the outbreak happens during the winter, right? Well...
I guess there are two number 6's. lol
They Can't Handle the Cold
Zombies are dead meat. No arguing that; it's their one defining characteristic. But everybody focuses on that "dead" part like it's such a huge deal. They often forget about the "meat." Do you know what else is dead meat? Steak, hamburger, possibly even that red grease mush inside of Taco Bell food.
When flesh is alive, it's got all sorts of defense systems to keep it that way. When it's dead, you have to throw it away in about a week even if you seal it up in plastic and keep it at a carefully modulated temperature. Now, your first inclination may be to think of cold as dead meat's friend, after all, the surest way to defeat that week-long deadline is to freeze steak, keeping it fresh for months. But don't forget: Unregulated cold does awful **** to formerly living things. If you live far enough north, the zombie apocalypse will probably work itself out the first time it tries to go outside. The first zombie-killer is the simple fact that the human body is mostly water, and water freezes. Once the temperature drops to freezing (or near it with a high wind chill), zombies will become significantly more rigid.
Look at it.
After enough exposure, a dead body is going to be frozen solid and not chasing down any screaming victims, no matter how delicious and Rascal Scooter-bound they might be. It's also safe to assume that zombies wandering around in a wintry wonderland are not going to be wrapped air-tight in plastic like we do with food, so freezer burn becomes an issue. Seriously. The same thing that ruins your ice cream also ruins the Undead Onslaught. The freezing of the flesh at night, combined with partial thaw during warmer days, then refreezing again sets up the perfect conditions for the onset of freezer burn, which results in the cells dehydrating as water evaporates, even when frozen solid. Freezer burned meat isn't just dead, it's destroyed.
No word on them transforming into snow monsters.
Biting is a Terrible Way to Spread a Disease
Hey, remember that time when that dog got rabies, and then a day later, every single other dog on the continent had it, except for a small band of survivors huddled in a basement? No? That never happened?
Nearly all of the zombie movies agree on one thing: They reproduce like a disease, one that spreads via a bite from the infected (like they have a virus carried by zombie saliva or whatever). But this also means their spread should be subject to the same rules of a normal epidemic, and biting is a ****ty way to get an epidemic going.
The successful diseases have some really clever way to invisibly spread from victim to victim. The flu has killed tens of millions because it floats right through the air, the black plague was spread by fleas, etc. Not a single one of them requires the infected to get within biting distance to spread their infection. Sure, sexually transmitted diseases like AIDS work that way, but that's only because the infected can pass for the uninfected. Nobody is going to be having sex with a zombie.
But let's say there is an outbreak, like if one zombie was able to bite 30 people in the crowd at an Insane Clown Posse concert before they figured out it wasn't part of the show. It's not like mankind is just utterly confused about what to do when an infection breaks out. In America you have the Center for Disease Control (CDC,) who don't tend to **** around. Seriously, it's on their business cards.
Though Google Image Search does turn up a large volume of zombie porn
Remember the SARS outbreak? That originated in China. The CDC and the World Health Organization put the clamps down on international travel the second it was found to have spread to North America. Flights were grounded, travel between borders was locked tight and only 43 people on the entire continent died.
With zombieism, they don't even have to solve the mystery about how it's transmitted. It's that guy biting people. Shoot him in the head.
No one was overlooked.
is missing. lol
They Can't Heal from Day to Day Damage
One advantage to having a fully-functioning central nervous system is that it also does a damn good job of letting you know you've been damaged. It does this by way of pain. Think about all the paper cuts, stubbed toes and nut shots you have suffered in your life. Now imagine they never healed, just sat there and rotted while you continued to rack up other paper cuts, stubbed toes and nut shots. Pretty much every wound you've ever had would end with an amputation. One thing we know about zombies from Romero and Fulci is that they are a clumsy lot, walking into doors and helicopter blades without a second thought about what kind of damage they are suffering.
While complete insensitivity to pain seems like an awesome superpower in theory; in real life, you wind up being more like Mr. Burns than Wolverine. Congenital insensitivity to pain is a neurological condition that some people are born with, meaning they don't feel pain. They can feel everything else, but the absence of pain means they accrue damage to their bodies but are unaware of it. Even with the ability to call for help, loved ones watching out for them and our coddling society, this can still lead to all kinds of terrible ****, like infected body parts and bitten off pieces of tongue.
All the dings and bangs zombies will suffer after tripping, walking off of bridges and stumbling around on dark cloudy nights will eventually leave them limbless, toothless and with every bone in their body broken. Seriously, in the event of the Zombie Apocalypse, just stay inside, watch all the episodes of 24 back to back, then walk out on your lawn with your Corpse Rake and tidy up (you will have to buy a Corpse Rake, however, if for some reason you don't already have one).

Hi Morgdan,
I apologize for the delay.
There are a lot of factors that can influence output from a pickup system installed into a given guitar. If one guitar is short scale(24.75") and one is long(25.5"), and the two guitars have the same gauge strings, you can expect slightly higher tension in the long scale guitar to achieve the same pitch. Also, if one guitar has a taller saddle or a steeper break-angle where the strings lead from the saddle into the pinholes, it can mean more string energy gets into the pickup with that guitar than with the other.
Does the difference in plugged-in output translate into the guitars acoustically, meaning is the guitar that is louder when plugged in also louder when played unplugged with the same intensity?
Hi there, I apologize if my question has been addressed in a previous thread. I am interested in either an M1 Active pick-up or the new M80 and I am not sure what would be the
best simplistic configuration for me to get the most out of it. Would I need to use a DI, or could I go straight to a PA board from the pick-up. If I needed a DI, would a Baggs Para DI be the best fit or would it's preamp conflict with the M80 used in Active mode? Any thoughts and tips would be appreciated.
Hi Andy,
The M80 is the newest pickup in our magnetic series and has a very different sound than the M1A. If you are looking for a more natural sound, the M80 is the direction to take, however, a lot of people really like the sound they can get from an M1A. Take a look at our youtube channel to see which you prefer: http://www.youtube.com/user/lrbaggsmedia
It is not necessary to have a DI with either system, but the extra EQ and boost in signal is always a nice option to have. If you are going to be running long cables to the board (30+ feet) it is a good idea to use the DI so the signal is shielded from outside interference. Since our preamps use high quality components the signal stays very clean and therefore there is no negative effect to having them inline with an active pickup. In fact, when we are at trade shows we always run our active systems through a Venue DI.
If any of this isn't clear feel free to respond or give us a call here at the office for further explanation.
Hi Bryan. I have a Larrivee with the Element notch system and the contacts in the inside of the strapjack have gone a bit loose so when I use a normal jack i get pop noises all the time if the jack moves a little bit. I'm about to buy a replacement for it but I'm not sure which is the exact piece i need.
The strapjack looks exactly like this (LR Baggs M1-C2):
But in the specs the seller says it's the strapjack for the M1 active or passive pickups. Not sure if you use the same strapjack for my pickup system.
Can you please confirm if this is the right one for replacement.
Thank you.
Hi Isrvel,
I can confirm that the part shown in the picture is the M1C2. It is used by the Element-Notch, both versions of the Stagepro system and all the magnetic sound hole pickups(M1, M1Active and M80).
Hi again Bryan,
Hopefully this is the correct place for my question. If possible, I'd like to remove the 3-way toggle switch from my X-Bridge/Ctrl-X setup, and just use the Ctrl-X pot as a blend pot. Is it possible or even advisable to physically remove the switch, or would I be better off just leaving the wiring intact, and simply keep the switch tucked away under the pickguard, set in the middle position?
hi i have m1active on my epiphone ej 200 sounds great most of the time just a few times i have to take the low end down on the eq on the mixing desk should i get a preamp and which one would you recommend thanks
Hi Gaelic83,
The M1A, because there is a preamp built into it, does not require a preamp but you can still use one to optimize the signal. Some preamps also have EQ and balanced outputs such as our Para Di and Venue DI. Either of them would be able to apply more gain to your M1A signal and provide EQ for improving the tone. Both also have DI outputs for sending the signal down long leads without inducing noise.
Hi Bryan,
I'm new and know little about pickups, etc. I just bought a Breedlove guitar with an LR Baggs Element Active VTC pickup. It sounds fairly good when plugged into my PA, but I'd like to know more about it: reading various comments in this forum and elsewhere I see a lot of discussion about piezo pickup problems, mainly a quacking sound. I assume the EA VTC is piezo, right? If there are so many problems why are they used in so many good guitars? Should I use a DI box with this pickup? Would either the Para DI or the Gigpro be the right one to use?

Right in the middle of election season, I moved from Virginia to Mumbai, India, where I work at the U.S. Consulate. Even though, as an absentee voter without access to cable TV, I can watch the debates and read U.S. news online, I sometimes catch myself feeling more like an outside observer than an active participant in the political process -- and I believe that many other U.S. citizens living overseas feel the same way.
That is one reason why I was so pleased to bring some U.S. campaign excitement to India by helping to stage a voting party for U.S. citizens. Mumbai's American Citizen Services Unit transformed our consular waiting hall into a small piece of the United States abroad, with American classics playing on the speakers, popcorn from a theatre-style machine, and a red-white-and-blue balloon arch. Attendees dropped their absentee ballots in a giant, star-spangled ballot box, while hamburgers, pizza, chicken nuggets, and a buttercream flag-shaped cake served up a taste of home.
Presidential trivia questions punctuated the evening, as citizens whose wallets haven't carried greenbacks in years tried to recall which presidents appear on various denominations of U.S. currency. Who knew that William McKinley was pictured on the $500 bill? Who knew that we ever had a $500 bill?
Along the way, I picked up not only presidential trivia, but a few lessons on our election process as well. A team of trained consular staff assisted voters with completing and addressing their ballots correctly, sometimes a complicated procedure given each state's slightly different procedures. Emptying the voting material from our giant ballot box after the event demonstrated the party's wide-reaching success: U.S. citizen voters had deposited hundreds of absentee ballots and absentee voter registration forms for us to forward to their local election commissions. Those ballots included votes cast by our very own Consul General, Peter Haas, as well as several first-time voters, our local U.S. Marines, and even an Indian-American Bollywood star.
After the event was over, I was pleased to see that I wasn't the only party-goer who gained a morale boost from the event. U.S. citizens posted comments on our Facebook page and sent emails describing the party as an example of the "American spirit" and "democracy in action!" For these attendees, the consulate filled the important role of serving as a home away from home. Indians observed our democracy in action, too, as the event garnered extensive local and international media coverage.
For much of this election season, U.S. citizens living here in the world's largest democracy will observe the U.S. election action from afar. This time, though, at least for one night, the U.S. Consulate brought American election excitement directly to them.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (180 votes).
In short: This race has PB written all over it.In full: I loved the race itself but the facilities let the event down sligthly. There was big que's at the start for electronic race tags and the toilets. Limited shower facilities meant that there infact were no showers. None that I could find anyhow. The race itself was great. Only slight hills and the scenery was good. I will be back next year but will get there much earlier. The Golden Shoe you get for finishing was nice too. Makes a change from T-shirts that you never wear.Date of review: April 11, 2010
In short: PB so very happy - great scenic course, great atmosphere, great raceDate of review: May 11, 2009
In short: A very well organised race, friendly marshalls and excellent value for money.In full: The course was great - not too flat to be dull but none of the inclines were either too steep or too long - perfect PB potential. The village hall was over-flowing at the start and there weren't quite enough loos but finding the ones hidden behind the stage was a bonus especially at 9:50 when the queues for the others were not going down quickly enough. The rest of the organisation was excellent, the staggered start helped get everyone round a tight bend to get out of the field, the 1/2 mile markers seemed to make the race go by quicker and having someone to take your chip off at the end is a nice touch. And it was all so friendly that even the chap directing traffic at the end of the race was asking everyone if there was anything they could have done better! Well done to the organisers all round. Date of review: April 16, 2009
In short: A very pleasant half-marathonIn full: A well organised race in pleasant countryside. The course is fairly flat with just a couple of small hills. Very well marshalled. Also the goodies at the end were excellent.I was very pleased with a new PB. Date of review: April 14, 2009
In short: Really good race, In full: 2nd year of running this race, unfortunately coming back from injury so didnt manage my PB. Well organised, will definately be back next year!Date of review: April 13, 2009
In short: Great PB course in lovely countrysideIn full: A great race with fantastic PB potential. The prefect running conditions also helped. Almost no inclines at all throughout the whole course. Great organisation at the start and finish with bacon butties and cups of tea for the spectators which was appreciated by my other half.My fourth identical glass memento! I'm running out of rooms to put them in!Date of review: April 13, 2009
In short: BrilliantIn full: Cannot criticise this race at all. Considering it was in a small village everything was good. The start wasn't that muddy (contrary to what others have written)and running on the grass only lasted for a couple of hundred metres, what hardship!!!To all of those who said the "finish was hidden",if you had been paying attention at the start you would of noticed the large yellow FINISH signs and timing chip mats next to the start line area. The glass block memento at the end was amazing.The water stations were also good considering you are in the middle of the countryside.Lets be positive about small races and not criticise for criticising sake!!!!!!Date of review: April 13, 2009
In short: A very pleasant 3rd 1/2 marathon for me.In full: This was only my 3rd half marathon. With my previous PB being 2:03:57 at Silverstone(An exceptionally flat course) only 4 weeks previous, but feeling far better prepared for this one(No dead leg from football) I was feeling quietly confident. I really surprised myself though, a new PB by almost 12 and half minutes, 1:51:20! Although surroundings have never really bothered me when running being one of the lucky few who can just keep my head up, look at the horizon, zone out and keep running this was far more pleasant than Silverstone. I particularly liked my memento, all 1/2 marathons after this one have a lot to live upto in this department. My only real gripe with this event was the ease at which I was able to obtain my belongings after the race. Put my car keys in an envelope which was stored in a locked room. This was fine, except on collection no check was made that my racer number matched, I could have picked up anyone's things.Date of review: April 13, 2009
In short: Good course with just enough inclines to keep you interestedIn full: Well organised, with PB potential proven with a handful of club members getting best times. Not flat but definitely no hills worth mentioning.Date of review: April 13, 2009
In short: Another great race from Belvoir - and a great momento too!Date of review: April 13, 2009

Researchers Propose New Way to Explain How Life Began on Earth
Jason Mick
December 13, 2012 5:19 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
By looking at information stored in chemistry, says former NASA fellow, life from non-life can be explained
An outstanding question in the
field of evolutionary biology
and biochemistry is how the complex, fragile biochemicals that made up life
arose and transformed biomaterial
in the early Earth from non-living to the earliest "living" organisms. Some researchers have looked for quasi-alive constructs
like prions or viruses
for clues.
But a new paper by Paul Davies, an
Arizona State University
Regents' Professor and director of the Beyond Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science, and Sara Walker, a NASA post-doctoral fellow at the Beyond Center,
in the journal
suggests that researchers are approaching the problem in the wrong way.
They suggest that rather looking at the "hardware" (biochemicals), they look at the "software" (chemically encoding information). The authors suggest that the defining line between the living and non-living is the ability to manage encoded information, thus the key question is how this information handling arose.
Could the clue to how life arose lie in how it encodes information?
Comments Prof. Walker, "When we describe biological processes we typically use informational narratives -- cells send out signals, developmental programs are run, coded instructions are read, genomic data are transmitted between generations and so forth. So identifying life's origin in the way information is processed and managed can open up new avenues for research."
"Chemical based approaches have stalled at a very early stage of chemical complexity -- very far from anything we would consider 'alive.' More seriously they suffer from conceptual shortcomings in that they fail to distinguish between chemistry and biology."
"We propose that the transition from non-life to life is unique and definable," Prof. Davies adds, "We suggest that life may be characterized by its distinctive and active use of information, thus providing a roadmap to identify rigorous criteria for the emergence of life. This is in sharp contrast to a century of thought in which the transition to life has been cast as a problem of chemistry, with the goal of identifying a plausible reaction pathway from chemical mixtures to a living entity."
"To a physicist or chemist life seems like 'magic matter. It behaves in extraordinary ways that are unmatched in any other complex physical or chemical system. Such lifelike properties include autonomy, adaptability and goal-oriented behavior -- the ability to harness chemical reactions to enact a pre-programmed agenda, rather than being a slave to those reactions."
"We believe the transition in the informational architecture of chemical networks is akin to a phase transition in physics, and we place special emphasis on the top-down information flow in which the system as a whole gains causal purchase over its components. This approach will reveal how the logical organization of biological replicators differs crucially from trivial replication associated with crystals (non-life). By addressing the causal role of information directly, many of the baffling qualities of life are explained."
Crystals are also self-replicating, but they lack the flexibility of life.
[Image Source: Giovanni Dall'Orto]
If that all sounds a bit abstract, it is.
But basically it seems that the pair are arguing that by looking at differences between the self-replicating information in biochemicals (e.g. RNA) verus self-replication information in inorganic/non-living constructs (e.g. crystals), researchers may be able to retrace the process of how life arose on Earth more easily than if they merely focus on painstakingly mixing chemical constituents, hoping something arises.

Under Article III of the Constitution, citizens facing charges and fines are entitled to due process in our court system. As the number of federal regulations increased, however, Congress decided to relieve the judiciary of most regulatory cases and create administrative courts tied to individual agencies. The result is that a citizen is 10 times more likely to be tried by an agency than by an actual court. In a given year, federal judges conduct roughly 95,000 adjudicatory proceedings, including trials, while federal agencies complete more than 939,000."

Finally, the El Camino Road pedestrian crossing from the T&C blocks right turning traffic after it has passed through the gauntlet of lights and jams. This can be helped by an island at the center of the El Camino crossing, just as they do in Europe for wide roads. This way, the pedestrian crossing occurs in 2 steps, rather than a single, long crossing. The pedestrian crossing would be coincident with the El Camino left turns.
How can we possibly have more building on or near El Camino, when the traffic situation is already a mess? Get the Arrilaga center to pay for traffic improvements, before adding to the traffic.

Ben Drucker is looking to follow in the footsteps of Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates.
Drucker, formerly CC '15, has dropped out of Columbia to work full-time on Valet.io, the startup he co-founded. The company creates a mobile platform to collect and follow up on donations from fundraising events.
"You have a very short window of time to capture people from when they are inspired by a speaker, a cause, and when they want to give," Drucker said. "With our applications, you can follow up automatically to collect those."
The company has already attracted several high-profile clients, including Cory Booker, the mayor of Newark and Senate candidate for New Jersey. Other clients include the anti-poverty organization Bronxworks and the Center for Architecture Foundation.
Drucker, who announced his decision to drop out of Columbia on Monday, is currently the company's chief executive office, lead developer, and sole full-time employee. The other co-founders, Jake Silberg and Ben Donald, will remain in school at Harvard while working for the company part-time.
"This is a product that's important to me, to organizations that do something important, and also it makes money," Drucker said. "It's not some crash course that I'm embarking on. This is something that's a lot more stable."
Drucker said that he and his friends have been thinking about this kind of startup since high school. Still, he didn't arrive at Columbia planning to found a company right away.
Drucker was an economics major at Columbia. A significant factor in his decision to drop out, he said, was what he considered the lack of a developer or entrepreneurial community on campus.
Although the Application Development Initiative received Special Interest Housing space last semester, Drucker felt that there wasn't a strong enough space for students to work together on these types of projects at Columbia.
"Anyone who's active in this space at Columbia will readily admit that compared to Harvard, and MIT, and UPenn, and even Michigan, Columbia has been comparatively weak on that front," he said. "The biggest thing it can do as a school, to have successes like this, is to encourage people to build things and to pick up skills that they're not going to get from the classroom."
In addition to the absence of a strong developer community on campus, Drucker said the amount of work required to keep up with both school and the company was too much to handle.
"There are times when it feels great … but the valleys are just as deep, in that there are going to be times where you dreamt up something you thought was going to work and it falls flat, or you have money you thought was surely raised and an investor pulls out at the last moment," Drucker said. "You just really have to work through those, you have to work hard. And if you're doing something else full time, like going to school, you just don't have the energy."
Drucker also hopes to find enough money to hire staff in New York and other locations. The company will pilot this in Boston, letting Silberg and Donald manage some staff there, before looking to expand to cities such as Chicago or San Francisco.
Even though he has big plans for the company's future, Drucker remains open to change.
"I don't think this is permanent at all. Basically, the attitude I have is every six months I'm going to take stock of where we are and what we need to do," he said. "That's something that tends to trip people up before they make a decision like this. People want to make a permanent decision, but so much has changed for me in the past six months, I have no idea where I'll be in six months."

At this holy time of the year we rejoice once again that God has come among us as a man in the form of the innocent babe of Bethlehem, incarnate by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. In Jesus Christ we see God in the flesh, Emmanuel ("God with us"). I am reminded of the beautiful antiphon of the Eastern Church from the Royal Hours on Christmas Eve:
"God is with us! God is with us! Understand all ye nations, and submit yourselves, for God is with us!" (based on Isaiah 8:9-10).
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope!
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
These familiar words which begin the traditional prayer, the Salve Regina, take on special meaning for us during this Jubilee Year of Mercy proclaimed by Pope Francis. In fact, our Holy Father has asked that we pray this prayer regularly during this year of grace. Our Lady is truly the "Mother of Mercy" (Mater misericordiae) because she is the Mother of the Incarnate Word, Jesus Christ our Lord. Jesus has come to reveal the Father's mercy, and the Blessed Virgin Mary brings him into the world, first by her "yes" to the angel's message, and then in the manger at Bethlehem.
With this column I bring to a conclusion a lengthy catechesis on the subject of marriage and family life. I wish to briefly recall that the reason for this extended teaching has been the attention being given these days throughout the universal Church to this important topic. We are between two synods of the world's bishops on the subject of the pastoral care of the family. Also we are preparing for a World Meeting of Families to be held this fall in Philadelphia with our Holy Father.
In this series of columns containing a catechesis on marriage, before we go on to address the final two "hot button" issues current in our time, we need to discuss something very fundamental to marriage and even to the human person. This is the purpose and meaning of the gift of human sexuality.
As we continue this important catechesis on marriage, it is time for us to bring together two important facts about sacramental marriage. We need to see how the essential properties and elements of marriage are, in a sacramental union, strong signs of Christ's love for the Church.
In this catechesis on the nature of marriage we have been considering what marriage is as revealed by God and as written in the very nature of the human person, created as male and female. Most recently we have seen that Jesus Christ has taken the natural institution of marriage and elevated it to the dignity of a sacrament between baptized spouses. We saw that this sacramental bond is a sign of Christ's nuptial bond with his Bride, the Church.
In the first installment of this catechesis on marriage, we explored the very nature of marriage as it comes forth from the hand of God who created the human person, male and female, in his own image and likeness. We discovered that all marriages, whether sacramental or not, have four essential elements and properties.
At our recent meeting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in Baltimore, Md., the bishops from the United States who participated in the recent Extraordinary Synod on the pastoral challenges of the family reported on their experiences. One of them, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, spoke of a "tale of two synods." By this he meant that the synod as reported and covered by much of the media did not match his own experience at the synod. He jokingly stated that he must have been at the wrong synod!
Dec. 6, 2013It has been all over the news (both secular and religious) that the Holy See (the Vatican) has asked for a consultation on marriage and family life in preparation for the Extraordinary Synod of Bishops to be held in Rome in 2014. The theme of this extraordinary synod will be The Pastoral Challenges of the Family in the Context of Evangelization.
As of this writing it has been just a little over two months since I was installed as the new Archbishop of Portland. It has been a true "whirlwind" since that beautiful installation Mass at the University of Portland on April 2. My time has been occupied with getting up to speed on the operations at the Pastoral Center, unpacking and getting settled into my new home, and meeting new people who are involved in the life of the Church here in Western Oregon. And then came the Confirmation circuit! I understand that my predecessor, Archbishop Vlazny, referred to this as the "Chrism Trail." Clever!
I think it's pretty safe to say that the last couple of months have been quite a ride for those of us who are Catholic or who follow closely events in the Catholic Church. At the end of January it was announced to the good people of the Archdiocese of Portland that they would soon receive a new shepherd, namely yours truly.

I recently heard about a new Alzheimer's treatment, a nose spray containing insulin. How does it work and is there an Alzheimer's nose spray available?
Insulin — a hormone that helps regulate your blood sugar — appears to play a role in normal memory processes. Insulin irregularities may contribute to cognitive and brain changes associated with Alzheimer's disease.
In the past several years, researchers have been investigating the use of insulin to treat Alzheimer's disease. One of the challenges is how to provide insulin in such a way that it improves brain function without disrupting your blood sugar levels. If your blood sugar drops too low, for example, it can create complications, such as confusion, heart palpitations, anxiety and visual disturbances.
Preliminary research suggests that when taken as a nose spray, insulin reaches the brain within a few minutes and improves memory. However, this research involved small groups of participants who had either early Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. Although this research is promising, more research on the safety and effectiveness of intranasal insulin therapy for Alzheimer's disease is necessary.
Few, if any, health care providers are prescribing off-label insulin nasal spray in routine clinical practice.

NCCF offers funding for Community Pride Projects
The Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation is accepting applications to the biennial Community Pride Program. Funding is available to community groups for projects that promote a sense of pride and worth in the northern Chautauqua County community.
Community based, not-for-profit organizations, such as garden clubs, service clubs, church groups and civic improvement associations are eligible to apply. The NCCF anticipates a competitive grant round for Community Pride funding. Projects that most exemplify community pride and encourage active citizen participation will be considered for funding. Past grant examples have been beautification projects, signage, park benches, tree plantings and community gardens.
A 1:1 match is required. Grant requests will be considered in the range of $100 to $500. A match could be in dollars, volunteer hours, supplies, etc.
These funds are made available through the generosity of people who have made gifts to unrestricted endowments within the community foundation. The NCCF hopes that the Community Pride Project will spark grassroots efforts that will continue on its own merits.
To be considered, submit a letter of interest and request, outlining the necessary information, to include name of the organization or group making the request, contact person and telephone number, description of the project, cost breakdown, location, completion date, and how matching funds will be raised.
Letters should be submitted by March 1 to the attention of Eileen Dunn, Program Coordinator, Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation, 212 Lake Shore Drive West, Dunkirk 14048.
Please address your questions to the Foundation office at 366-4892 or firstname.lastname@example.com
The Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation was incorporated in 1986 as a tax-exempt charitable organization. Since its establishment, the NCCF has distributed over $8.7 million into the community through its various grant programs.
It is an organization inherently committed to furthering its mission of enriching the northern Chautauqua community and encouraging local philanthropy.

RAM NEHARA,PLAINTIFF,v.STATE OF CALIFORNIA ET AL., DEFENDANT.
ORDER re SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE
This case is set for a Settlement Conference before Magistrate Judge Sheila K. Oberto on 11/29/2012, at 10:00 a.m. at the U. S. District Court, 2500 Tulare Street, Fresno, California, 93721.
Consideration of settlement is a serious matter that requires thorough preparation prior to the settlement conference. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Pre-settlement Conference Exchange of Demand and Offer
A settlement conference is more likely to be productive if, before the conference, the parties exchange written settlement proposals. Accordingly, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the settlement conference, plaintiff's counsel shall submit a written itemization of damages and settlement demand to each defense counsel with a brief summary of the legal and factual basis supporting the demand. No later than ten (10) days prior to the settlement conference, each defense counsel shall submit a written offer to plaintiff's counsel with a brief summary of the legal and factual basis supporting the offer.
2. Submission and Content of Confidential Settlement Conference Statements The parties are to send Confidential Settlement Conference Statements (Settlement Statement) to the following email address: email@example.com, to arrive no later than five (5) business days before the conference. Additionally, each party shall file a Notice of Submission of Confidential Settlement Conference Statement (See L.R. 270 (d)).
If the Settlement Conference is continued for any reason, each party must submit a new Settlement Statement that is complete in itself, without reference to any prior Settlement Statements.
Settlement Statements must be typed and double spaced. Each Settlement Statement shall include the following:
a. A brief summary of the core facts, allegations, and defenses.
b. A summary of the proceedings to date.
c. An estimate of the cost and time to be expended for further discovery, pretrial, and trial.
d. The nature of the relief sought.
e. An outline of past settlement efforts including information regarding the "Pre-settlement Conference Exchange of Demand and Offer" required above (including the itemization of damages), and a history of past settlement discussions, offers, and demands.
f. A statement of each party's expectations and goals for the Settlement Conference.
3. Attendance of Trial Counsel and Parties Required
The attorneys who will try the case and parties with full and complete settlement authority are required to personally attend the conference.*fn1 An insured party shall appear by a representative of the insurer who is authorized to negotiate, and who has authority to settle the matter up to the limits of the opposing parties' existing settlement demand. An uninsured corporate party shall appear by a representative authorized to negotiate, and who has authority to settle the matter up to the amount of the opposing parties' existing settlement demand or offer. It is difficult for a party who is not present to appreciate the process and the reasons that may justify a change in one's perspective toward settlement. Accordingly, having a client with authority available by telephone is not an acceptable alternative, except under the most extenuating circumstances.*fn2
The Court expects both the lawyers and the party representatives to be fully prepared to participate. The Court encourages all parties to keep an open mind in order to reassess their previous positions and to discover creative means for resolving the dispute.
4. Issues to Be Discussed
The parties shall be prepared to discuss the following at the settlement conference:
a. Goals in the litigation and problems they would like to address in the settlement conference and understanding of the opposing side's goals.
b. The issues (in and outside the lawsuit) that need to be resolved.
c. The strengths and weaknesses of their case.
d. Their understanding of the opposing side's view of the case.
e. Their points of agreement and disagreement (factual and legal).
f. Any financial, emotional, and/or legal impediments to settlement.
g. Whether settlement or further litigation better enables the accomplishment of their respective goals.
h. Any possibilities for a creative resolution of the dispute.
5. Statements Inadmissible
The parties are expected to address each other with courtesy and respect, and are encouraged to be frank and open in their discussions. Statements made by any party during the settlement conference are not to be used in discovery and will not be admissible at trial. IT IS SO ORDERED.

Last week, the U.S. Agency for International Development's (USAID) Mission in Uganda and the USAID Development Credit Authority released a video that will make you rethink development. The video tells the story of a private infrastructure project on a remote island in Uganda, where a USAID co-guarantee spurred private sector investment.
In the 1960s, during USAID's founding decade, official development assistance represented 70 percent of all capital flows to developing countries. Today, foreign aid makes up just 13 percent, having been replaced over time by trade, investment, and other sources of private capital.
This changing landscape means our impact can be even greater. Rather than using our development dollars to substitute for missing private capital, we can use them to attract it. Even better, we can unlock existing local wealth and put it to work for development.
That's what we do at the Development Credit Authority (DCA). Watch the above video to see how effective private sector partnerships can positively impact people's lives, and visit our website to learn more about our work.
Henry in the U.S.A. writes:
This is disgusting. It's just the US adopting the British model of camouflaged colonialism. At this rate, any country that wants real development will have to turn to China or Argentina for assistance.
Larry in Malawi writes:
I beg to differ with Henry! The work and history of USAID in Malawi is immeasurable. I cannot quantify, the benefit our people have had from the various channels rendered by the USAID. So, in any sense, it would be wrong to, state, that the "US adopting the British model of camouflaged colonialism" without finding out the impact of the institution it had has in those areas like Malawi.

Rangers and docents at Grand Canyon National Park hear the question a lot: "So, just how old is it?"
The prevailing theory has been that the Grand Canyon is about 5 million to 6 million years old and was carved by the west-flowing Colorado River.
But researchers from the University of Colorado in Boulder and the California Institute of Technology now say the natural wonder could be as much as 70 million years old.
That would date its formation to the era of the dinosaur.
The study was published online recently in the journal Science.
Lead researcher Rebecca Flowers is an assistant professor in the University of Colorado Department of Geosciences. She says her team used a new technique to date rocks found on the canyon's floor in the western part of the canyon, near the Hualapai Reservation.
"We used a radiometric dating method that involved determining the amounts of uranium, thorium and helium inside individual crystals of a phosphate mineral called apatite," says Flowers. "And so essentially we used the radioactive decay ... to date these minerals."
According to Flowers, the amounts of those minerals left behind in the rock are a function of temperature, which is cooler near the surface of the earth. This knowledge allowed them to calculate the time since the canyon was formed.
"In this case, our data say that those rocks were very cold for a very long time," Flowers says. "And really the only way to do that in this setting is to have the rock close to the surface, due to there being a big canyon present there by 70 million years."
Not all geologists agree. William Dickinson is an emeritus professor of geosciences at the University of Arizona who says there's a lot of geologic evidence that the western Grand Canyon is, at the most, 19 million years old.
"Well, their data is very interesting and undoubtedly will mean something," says Dickinson. "But I think frankly that their conclusion is implausible ... they have the data, but they have to do some pretty fancy rocket science to figure out what it means."
Over the years, many studies have been conducted to determine the canyon's age. A common approach was to measure how quickly sediment traveled the canyon's length. Those studies have put the canyon's age at anywhere between 5 million and 19 million years.
It's not just the canyon's age that's up for debate in the world of geology. It's also how the canyon was formed.
Many scientists have long believed that the chasm was cut into the Colorado Plateau by the Colorado River, flowing westward from the snows of the Rockies toward the Sea of Cortez. But the new study from Rebecca Flowers proposes that an ancient river that flowed from west to east carved the Grand Canyon.

Topic: Ruby Cookbook
I just got my copy of Ruby Cookbook today. I was a little hesitant to buy it due to the lack of reviews, but I am pleasantly surprised. The first thing I thought when I got it is: "Wow, this book is huge!"
It has over 800 pages full of Ruby recipes and seems to cover almost everything. It even has a section on Ruby on Rails (although I don't think that's it's strong point). Because this book is so complete, it can act as a reference manual to Ruby and is a great companion to the rdocs. It also covers a lot of external libraries (such as using the "shipping" gem to determine the cost of shipping a package through UPS or FedEx).
I haven't had much time to read it yet, but what I have read has been excellent. I've already learned several things, and I look forward to reading more. Wether you are beginner or advance, I think you'll benefit from this book.
I wasn't sure if this forum is an appropriate place to put a review for this book, especially because it's not targeted toward rails. But, most Railers are new to Ruby, and I think this book will help them immensely.
