text: I hope this isn't a silly question....How many boxes can go above an escape board? Yes...it's all capped honey...no brood. In the past I've only placed the escape board under 1 box at a time...it worked very well. This years production is very good with a couple of colonys stacked seven mediums high(4-5 being honey), so I'd like to do as many at one time as the bee's will allow. Thanks.

Homeland Security Appropriations Bill
The proposed fiscal year 2014 Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill (H.R. 2217) provides $38.9 billion in discretionary budget authority [BA]. The BA figure is $1.01 billion or 3 percent, above fiscal year 2013 enacted post-sequester levels and $27 million below the President's request. This bill also provides an additional $5.63 billion in funding designated for disaster relief, an amount equal to the President's request, which boosts the total discretionary budget authority provided by this bill to $44.6 billion. The Budget Control Act (BCA) provided a mechanism to increase spending above the limits or caps set for discretionary spending if Congress appropriates the additional funding for disaster relief. It is up to Congress whether to use this adjustment procedure for disaster funding.
H.R. 2217 provides funds for the operations and activities of the Department of Homeland Security [DHS], including disaster relief assistance, border protection, and aviation security. Key elements include the following:
Coast Guard. The Coast Guard is the principal Federal agency charged with maritime safety, security, and stewardship. The bill contains $8.3 billion in discretionary budget authority for this account, $281 million above the President's request. An additional $1.5 billion in mandatory authority is provided for the retirement pay of Coast Guard military personnel and Coast Guard Reserve personnel.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE]. ICE's mission is to promote homeland security through the criminal and civil enforcement of federal laws governing border control, customs, trade, and immigration. This bill provides $5.4 billion for ICE, an increase of $244 million from last year's post sequester level and $387 million above the President's request.
Customs and Border Protect [CBP]. This bill contains $10.6 billion for customs and border protection, about $812 billion above the FY 13 enacted post-sequester level and $218 million below the President's request. Funds will be used to provide for over 21,000 Border Patrol agents and an additional 22,800 CBP officers.
Citizenship and Immigration Services. H.R. 2217 provides $114 million for Citizenship and Immigration Services, an increase of $4 million above the FY 13 enacted post-sequester level and $10 million below the President's request.
Federal Emergency Management Agency [FEMA]. FEMA is principally tasked with managing and coordinating the Federal response to major domestic disasters and emergencies. The legislation provides base funding of $4.3 billion, a decrease of $94 million from last year's post-sequester level and $330 million above the President's request. The bill includes an additional $5.62 billion for FEMA's Disaster Relief Fund – equal to the President's request.Other Items of Interest. H.R. 2217 provides $1.6 billion for the Secret Service, an increase of $62 million above FY 13 post-sequester; and $259 million for the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, an increase of $16 million above the FY 13 post-sequester level.

Agent Orange town hall meeting held to help veterans
BLOUNTVILLE, Tenn. - More than 200 veterans showed up to a special forum at Northeast State Community College Tuesday evening. The topic -- chemical exposure and how to file claims for VA benefits.
The Tennessee State Council, Vietnam Veterans of America, along with co-sponsors Kingsport VVA Chapter 979, Johnson City Chapter 824 and with support from Tri-Cities Military Affairs Council, hosted the Agent Orange Town Hall Meeting.
The president of the Tennessee State council of Vietnam Veterans of America, Barry Rice, says there are about 15,000 Vietnam veterans in upper east Tennessee who were exposed to Agent Orange.
Organizers of Tuesday night's event want to make sure the veterans are properly compensated for any illnesses they -- and even their children and grandchildren -- may be facing.
Experts say, it may not just be Vietnam veterans who need to hear this message.
Agent Orange was intended to protect American and allied troops in Vietnam and other southeast Asian countries. The chemical was sprayed to defoliate the dense jungle vegetation hiding enemy positions during the long and controversial war.
"Vietnam was never a subject we ever spoke of," said Linda Chandler of Big Stone Gap, Virginia. Chandler lost her husband, a Vietnam veteran, a little more than a year ago.
He died of heart issues now being linked to exposure to Agent Orange, but filing a claim has been complex. "It was absolutely mind blowing as to what I had to go through," said Chandler.
Tuesday night, Chandler learned more about the process along with so many others, like Korean War veteran Herman Sams.
The VA believes veterans who served along the demilitarized zone, or DMZ, were also exposed to herbicides. "He's had a double bypass and two stents in place," said Sams' son Johnathan Sams. "He has Parkinson's."
Veteran advocates say recent conflicts may have also caused health issues. "Maybe [veterans] from Iraq or Afghanistan who have been exposed to any type of chemicals, such as those oil well fires that Saddam created when we first invaded there," said Barry Rice.
Now exerts say there is evidence that chemical exposure is reaching other generations. "If you suspect that you have any health problems whatsoever, or suspect your child or grandchild does, please seek medical help and go see a veterans service officer," said Rice.
Researchers say there is scientific evidence pointing to increases in birth defects and developmental problems in the children and grandchildren of Vietnam veterans and others exposed to dioxin-like chemicals.

Detroit Film Theatre
Friday, September 27, 2013
7:00 PM Detroit Film Theatre
(USA/1916—directed by D.W. Griffith)
In 1916, director D.W. Griffith completed what critic Pauline Kael called "perhaps the greatest movie ever made." Intolerance is a spectacular, monumental epic, set in four different historical eras, that uses the theme of intolerance through the ages to unite the four tales in an increasingly sophisticated – and ultimately frenzied – early example of the art of film editing. The sets and art direction on view in Intolerance would be considered jaw-dropping even today; the Babylonian sequence alone remains such an indelible cinematic icon that a full-scale, modern reproduction of a portion of the Babylon set was created in 2001 adjacent to Hollywood's Dolby (formerly Kodak) Theatre, home to the Academy Awards®. This newly restored, full-length version of Intolerance features original color tinting and toning, and a lush musical score by Carl Davis, performed by the Luxembourg Symphony Orchestra. (190 minutes, including intermission).
"The Ulysses of the cinema. Magnificent, powerful and moving." –Dave Kehr, The New York Times

Susiequilt..Thats the dogfood (Taste Of the Wild) we came to realize is best for skin problems, and they love it..The only thing they do not like is the salmon..Can't imagine why..... That's MY favorite fish..
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Susiequilt..Thats the dogfood (Taste Of the Wild) we came to realize is best for skin problems, and they love it..The only thing they do not like is the salmon..Can't imagine why..... That's MY favorite fish..
All our dogs are on a raw food diet. There are some groups on yahoo that have a lot of info on it.
Stephanie in Mena
If we have salmon or tuna, I save the juice for Bess and put it in her Fit and Trim. We feed Bess basically the same as we did Bridget. Whatever we eat she gets her finger food (off our fingers). I found out you aren't supposed to give dogs grapes/raisins. Bridget ate them, we'd give her a raisin snack box all the time. She jumped for the grapes. She also lived to be 14 years 9 months and 8 days. So much for grapes. But we don't give them to Bess. If we have beef or chicken, we give her little bits with her dog food (very important to have nutrient-wise. Bess loves raw carrots, raw beans, vet says it's perfectly ok. Had a checkup and her rabies shot on Thursday. Bess is going to be 10 years old, can jump like a puppy, no hint of hip problems, she runs like the wind (when given the chance) and she is 84#. Big dog! Our gentle giant! I think it is what dogs like to eat. I like to remember that they once upon a time were wild and pulled the heads of rabbits and ate them! And so a raw carrot is not going to bother me - I don't know why, but a grape does. She likes a little taste of wine off the finger too. Keeps her heart a-pumpin'!!!! As long as you are happy, the dog is happy, everybody is happy! And isn't that what it's all about? Just keep them away from cooked chicken bones. I go zonkers when she gets one and I surprise myself at my adrenalin level when that happens because I have the strength of Goliath prying open her mouth. It's only happened twice. Oh yah, one more thing. Go to your handy dandy butcher and ask for a raw beef bone - a nice big one. We got two for Bess when we first got her and gave it to her raw. What meat or whatever was on the bone, we let her eat and then she would gnaw on the bone. That was almost ten years ago. She has the same two bones, they are grooved with her teeth marks. I mean nice neat deep grooves. My husband calls them her worry beads. If she gets anxious, she gets her bones and goes off and just gnaws to her heart's content. The only bad thing is don't walk on the living room floor at 2:00 AM in the dark and step on the blasted thing. Hurts like you know what!!!!!! Just a little thing on raw bones!!!!! Edie
Home is where the rags of your life are turned into quilts, lemons become lemonade and a few extra pounds are simply welcomed as "more of you to love."
I am so confused. I don't know if I found a rope or lost my horse."
As does Susiequilt, I also use Taste of the Wild for both my dogs and cats and they did well on them.
There is a great recipe on allrecipes.com for dog/cat treats (yes, both, depending on how you shape them and how big) that is only wheat germ and a big jar of meat baby food. Stink up the house when you bake them but the critters LOVE them!!!!!
Mistakes are just opportunities to invent a new quilting technique!
I make the recipe on the Dinovite site and order their supplements that I add to it. My pug has allergies and gets stones and bladder infections and since i've been feeding her homeade she hasn't had any problems. I was feeding her the Science Diet S/D as prescribed by the vet but just didn't feel it was right for her.
My neighbor's father was in the pet food business. I was amazed to hear about how much money was spent on research to ensure the product is nutritionally balanced and complete. I'm afraid I couldn't provide the same level of nutrition without supplements, and she doesn't like pills.
I am glad this topic was started. I have been wondering lately ever since I took my nephews Boxer as he was unable to care for him properly anymore due to work schedule I have been wanting to find a good healthy dog food for him. He poops more than any dog I have ever had..... I have put him on Wellness but it does not seem to set well with him, and yes I did slowly adjust him to it. So I am not sure what to use next. Maybe the Wilderness or Innova. I also have an older dog who has hepatitis so I have to be careful with what she eats.
They say money does not buy happiness, but it buys fabric & fabric makes me happy!!
I would often boil some beef liver and mix it with commerical dry food. I did this on a weekly basis and kept the ground up liver in the fridge
Create something beautiful from scraps.
miss priss, I sure would like to find out some of those recipe links, I also have chihuahua, he is very finniky, and doesn't eat the dog food I buy at the store. I only give people food as a treat. would appreciate some help with this. he is 7 months old.
we don't meet people by accident.Everyone is meant to cross our path for a reason.

Everything perfect! We really loved the apartment and the location lets you move by walking. Thank you, Joonas!
Lovely apartment, only a short walk from everything, beautifully renovated - perfect for our long weekend with a group of friends! It's also great to stay in a typical Helsinki apartment rather than an impersonal hotel room that could be anywhere. If we have the opportunity, we would definitely like to stay here again.
We had a good time in Helsinki. Very nice and modern apartment and really close to the city. The contact with Joonas is very nice and uncomplicated. The apartment is well furnished and its easy to feel home!
A very nice apartment in a great location. The contact with Joonas is very nice and we would definitely come back!
Eine sehr schöne Wohnung in einer tollen Lage. Der Kontakt zu Joonas was sehr nett und wir kommen gerne wieder!
Excellent central apartment, though very calm environment. We, a family of five woult like to stay here again, next visit to Helsinki. Thanks!
All perfect, central and spacious, the bad q no smoking
Todo perfecto, céntrico y espacioso, lo malo q no se puede fumar
Joonas is a very nice guy. I stayed at his nice flat with my friends for one night. The place is great, close to the center. There were many usefull maps and brochures in the apartment. Joonas was very nice and helpfull. He even helped us to get surprise birthday cake for my girlfriend.
I recomended this place 100%.

The apartment was fine, great location near everything in central Madrid. Francisco is a very attentive owner, ready to help with any need and always available to answer questions. I would recommend the apartment to anyone visiting Madrid.
We spend nice days in Francisco's appartment ultimo this march.
Francisco was very helpful, Fixed what needed to be Fixed before and during the stay.
As the area around Plz de Santa Ana is Filled with good and old bars and restaurants - the noiselevel some time increased to a High lever. We suggest that you bring EarPods to have a quite sleep.
We like the area. We also suggest only to be 2 persons in the flat.
Nice and fine service from Francisco- our plane was delayed 4 hours so we arrived 2 o'clock in the Night. We'll absolutely get back to Madrid
Francisco is a very nice host and we liked his appartment a lot. Everything is clean and very well organized. We liked the well equipped kitchen, WIFI and the beautiful house in the centre of Madrid. It is a nice place to enjoy the Citys museums, restaurants and nightlife, you are staying in the middle of it.
Our stay in Madrid has been fantastic. We have been in a very central and well located apartment, five minutes walking to any central point. Francisco is a very friendly and helpful person, we had a problem and I miss time to come fix it.
If I return to Madrid return to his apartment, without a doubt.
Nuestra estancia en Madrid ha sido fantástica. Hemos estado en un apartamento muy céntrico y bien situado, cinco minutos caminando a cualquier punto céntrico. Francisco es una persona muy amable y servicial, hemos tenido algún problema y le falto tiempo para venir a solucionarlo.
Si vuelvo a Madrid volvería a su apartamento, sin lugar a dudas.
Francis is one of the best hosts with which you can find; He had the immense detail to take your car to the place that Our starting. Thank you, Francis. The apartment is great, perfect location (although sometimes the road is too "lively") and has everything you need. The quality / price is excellent.
Francis es uno de los mejores anfitriones con los que te puedes encontrar; tuvo el inmenso detalle de llevarnos con su coche hasta el lugar del que partíamos. Gracias, Francis. El apartamento está genial, perfecto en su ubicación (aunque a veces la calle está demasiado "animada") y cuenta con todo lo necesario. La relación calidad/precio es excelente.
Very nice apartment! Thanks! The apartment is conveniently located in a zentral area and is equipped with everything necessary to spend a holiday cortitas there!

I was with my friend dal4al 7dicembre2014! The house is in an excellent location !!! very cute and hot! There was the air conditioner that worked well but did not have to keep it on the night! Very bright and cozy! He could hear the confusion in the house until late at night because the house is located in a crowded area at night but it was all bearable, due to the fatigue that we had every night !! pretty cool anyway, Thanks Francisco !!
Sono stata con una mia amica dal4al 7dicembre2014!la casa è in una posizione ottimale!!!è molto carina e calda!c'era il condizionatore che funzionava benissimo ma non c'era bisogno di tenerlo acceso la notte!molto luminosa e accogliente!si sentiva la confusione sotto casa fino a tarda notte perché la casa è situata in una zona affollatissima di notte ma era tutto sopportabile,data anche la stanchezza che avevamo ogni sera!!tutto molto bello comunque,Grazie Francisco!!
Estimates apartment located in the middle of Madrid ... easy walking distance to most.
Fine apartment - which is what you need ... except perhaps an electric kettle. Sweet and helpful host ... no problems .. except perhaps to lock the front door needs a replacement.
Good beds, kitchen / bath.
Mega very violent street noise all night as there is a bar just opposite ... it is essential to use earplugs ...: O)

Shez Sinsational has painted trainer Allan Sharrock into a corner at Ellerslie today. Because the glamour mare worked so well last week, anything but a win in the $70,000 Lindauer Stakes will be treated as a disaster by the Taranaki trainer.
Shez Sinsational dominates betting on the group three weight-for-age event, even from the potentially tricky ace draw.
She could easily have been at Flemington for the big one today and comes into today's 2000m event as a last-start winner of the Spring Classic at Hastings.
Add to that group one victories under today's conditions against stronger fields in the Zabeel Classic and Darci Brahma International, not to mention being the reigning Auckland Cup heroine, and Shez Sinsational's career has more highlights than all her rivals combined.
But what convinced Sharrock his superstar mare should simply win today was her gallop between races at Wanganui last Thursday.
"In 35 years I have never had a horse work so well," he told the Herald.
"I gave her five days off after the Spring Classic but if anything that has brought her on.
"She is spot on for this and anything but a win would be a huge disappointment."
Sharrock says he pays jockey Opie Bosson to worry about getting Shez Sinsational off the rails from barrier one, where her rivals would love to trap her given the chance.
"He has 2000m to get her off and he knows what he is doing.
"But it might actually give us a chance to try something different with her and ride her handier.
"She settled in the first four when she won the Darci Brahma last season so don't be surprised to see that again."
Bosson is reunited with Hidden Asset, who he has ridden just once, for a win at Hastings two starts ago, in the last race on today's drawn-out programme.
Hidden Asset was left flat-footed in a muddling 2400m event last start and would appreciate a stronger pace today as he heads towards the Waikato Cup.
It could prove a profitable day for Bosson as he is also aboard the highly rated Wisecrack, who will appreciate the 2200m of the opening race.
Like Hidden Asset, whom he raced in the 2011 NZ Derby at Ellerslie, Wisecrack is being set for the late spring and early summer cups.
Distance racing should be his forte, being by High Chaparral from the classy Grosvenor mare Limerick.

Post your sleepers for this year!
Jacquizz Rodgers (RB, ATL): The Turner Show is getting old and worn down, and the new up-tempo style of the Falcons offense seems to favor Rodgers.
Mikel LeShoure (RB, DET): Kevin Smith has durability issues and Jahvid Best is one good hit away from ending his career. After he serves his two game suspension and pending Kevin Smith's health/performance, LeShoure could be in line for some heavy duty carries.
Jonathan Baldwin (KC, WR): Dwayne Bowe is clearly #1 in KC, but with him holding out and needing time to catch up on the playbook Jon Baldwin could reap the benefits. He's got good size and he showed some promise last season.
Ronnie Hillman (DEN, RB): Hillman tweaked his hamstring in preseason action, which hopefully for Denver doesn't linger, because this kid looks explosive. With an aging Willis Mcgahee as the No.1, Hillman could become the man in Denver at some point during the year if he can learn to pass protect for Peyton. That will determine what kind of role he sees in the offense, because obviously that is a crucial element for any RB especially rooks.
Borderline sleeper/non sleepers:
Michael Bush (CHI, RB)

Living green involves values, not just Hollywood hype
Original post made by Nancy McGaraghan, Palo Alto Weekly contributor, on Aug 2, 2006
In the 1970s and 1980s, we in Palo Alto and surrounding communities recycled, put in bike paths and preserved thousands of acres of open space.
School kids sang along to "Dirt Made My Lunch" at Webb Ranch, and "communed" with their favorite trees thanks to one tree-hugging fourth-grade teacher, Miss Bruce. They brought their peanut butter sandwiches to school wrapped in lettuce leaves.
Living green involved a few simple choices, it seemed, even though the big global issues were certainly there in the background. The byword was "Think globally, act locally."
Now the environment is eroding right before our eyes, and "local" has taken on a more global hue when one thinks of rising sea levels and more violent storms.
When Al Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," came to town, I was among those who turned out. Gore offered shocking visuals and historic climate trends -- all confirming global warming.
Then came the equally shocking projections, but without the weight of hard facts. For a skeptic like me -- even a committed tree-hugger -- hearing only one side of this story raises a red flag. Is Gore's data defensible? Are his predictions oversimplifications or overstatements?
As one eco-enthusiast said: "I'd rather have the opposition make the overstatements. They're so easy to refute."
Moreover, Gore didn't simplify the choices. Green might be the world's only reasonable future, as Gore says, but the complexity of the solutions can be reason enough to give up trying.
Green is today's buzzword. Eco-prophets have replaced tree-huggers. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger traded in his Hummer, or one of them, for a hybrid. Vanity Fair magazine featured Julia Roberts and other glitterati, including Al Gore, on the cover of a special green issue this month. Hollywood can dress up anything and make it a fad.
Palo Alto is stepping up to the plate (Weekly, June 21), extending its early pioneering of recycling in the 1970s. City officials have implemented fuel efficiency practices and supplemented natural gas with renewable energy contracts. All are concrete steps toward reducing carbon emissions.
The word is getting out. Yet the hard reality is that the overall success of efforts to turn back the tide of global warming relies on the cooperation of ordinary people, like you and me. Green needs to be more than Hollywood hype or a fad for the technically savvy and the elite.
If green lives beyond its fashionable, politically correct status, I believe it will be because it is rooted in a sound respect for the environment, a respect that will motivate people to live with some inconvenience.
The concept of living a more restrained lifestyle is not new, nor is it an idea that knows age boundaries, as the following underscores:
A green lifestyle involves values, "... values that lead to a more simplified and perhaps more enduring style of life in a world of change. There must be a voluntary simplicity of ecology in our economic system. Someone has said that 200 years has been just long enough to have one big materialistic splurge on a new continent.
"We have now the chance to settle down for the long haul, which will involve our learning some frugality and some judgment with respect to the use of our surroundings."
These were the sentiments of Gladys Chute Mears, one of the early settlers in San Mateo County. It was 1978 and she was celebrating her 87th birthday. Silicon Valley was looming in the shadows of the golden hills she called home.
Today there are environmentalists like her who are lobbying for sustainable living practices, spurred by a real pressure from escalating gas prices and the growing conviction that continued dependence on Middle Eastern oil filtered through American oil interests is unacceptable.
Quick and potentially disastrous fixes for these problems would be to produce greater levels of nuclear energy or tap into the Alaskan oil fields. Both options have grave, irreversible consequences for the environment.
If we try to "go green" without a primary commitment to the environment we can easily be derailed. What's more, eco-friendly solutions are often impractical or unaffordable.
I believe Gore when he says, "The need to make big changes is inescapable." But trying to sort out the science of big changes is confusing. What will be a "more enduring style of life" for us?
The boiled-frog syndrome, a gradual build up of greenhouse gasses, got us into this mess. We are told that a gradual reduction in carbon emissions will get us out. That means we can go green one step at a time.
Drive less. Buy local. Recycle, or better yet re-use and use less. Join the groundswell of support for green legislation. Not because it is politically correct, but because our world depends on it.
We don't have to wait until the tides are up around our ankles before we believe that the glaciers are melting. What will happen to Palo Alto's high land values if our lowland city is underwater?
We don't have to calculate our "carbon footprint" before we decide to tread gently across the planet. There have always been reasons to be energy conscious. Those reasons just got more compelling.
We have everything to gain and nothing to lose by opting out of the "one big materialistic splurge."
It's a matter of values, personally, as a community and as a society -- values strong enough to transcend the politics of power, money and left versus right.

The most expedient fix for a significant reduction in carbon emissions is no secret. The path has already been exposed by Brazil who is on the verge of total independence from fossil fuel burning autos. We simply have to follow in their footsteps and I would like to think that since the U.S. has never liked to be just a follower we would strive for new innovations along the way to improve on the example already set. Brazil has shown that it is possible to convert to Sugar Cane Ethanol in a relatively short period of time. If we could get our law makers and big business people to get behind the effort I'm sure that our country could do at least as well.
We'll see.

Ethanol is a carbon-based fuel. It produces CO2! This is not the answer. Think nuclear energy. It produce NO CO2. Nuclear also takes all of us off the foreign dependence for oil (think replacing war with peace!).
Why doesn't Palo Alto City Council support nuclear energy? It is a no-brainer!

John: Ethanol, if produced from plants in an appropriate manner, removes as much carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during production as is emitted during production and consumption. This doesn't mean that all ethanol production is done in this manner, or that the United States will actually be able to produce enough ethanol to power our entire vehicle fleet. It does mean that done right, ethanol has the potential to be a part of an overall solution, even if it won't be the whole solution.
As to your claim that there is no carbon dioxide emitted by nuclear power, that's only partially true. The actual end electrical generating facilities don't emit carbon dioxide, but the mining of uranium to produce the fuel used for nuclear energy is done using equipment which is powered by fossil fuels. My understanding is that total lifecycle carbon dioxide emissions from nuclear power is something like 1/3 that of coal fired electrical generation. A big improvement (and every improvement helps) but decidedly not bringing carbon dioxide emissions down to zero.
Furthermore, as a source of electical energy, nuclear power plants aren't at the moment an effctive replacement for oil, which we primarially use as a transportation fuel. The electrical cars on the market right now are either far too expensive for general use, or have a too limited range to be somebody's primary car. Instead, nuclear power plants serve as an alternative to coal and natural gas fired electrical generating facilities.
The problem people generally have with nuclear power plants are their high up-front cost, the consequences of catastrophic failure, and the problem of disposing of long-lived radioactive waste.

Nuclear power plants are sprouting like weeds in China and India. They make economic sense. In this country, there was a huge overreaction after Three Mile Island. Start up costs for nuclear plants are unnecessarily multiplied by unnecessary regulations. There seems to be some type of "belief" system at work, that prevents a practical (and VERY green) solution. Nuclear power plants offer the possibility of energy independence and low-cost electricity. Nuclear also will have the biggest impact on CO2 reduction.
The energy model of the future will probably be nuclear-generated base load electricity (supplemented with photvoltaics and wind and increased efficiencies/conservation). Vehicles will be powered by hydrogen fuel cells. The hydrogen will come, primarily, from cheap, nuclear-generated electricity (through electrolysis).
Nuclear wastes will be stored in Yucca Mountain, or injected into the subduction zone. This is not a real issue.
The beauty of nuclear power is that it has the potential to take us off foreign dependence for our energy needs. Think PEACE!
Having said this, I want to emphasize that I fully support solar and wind and conservation efforts. Unfortunately, these modalities will not provide base load (like nuclear does).
One ohter small item: You say that nuclear requires CO2 release, due to extraction processes. You are correct, but you fail to consider the same equation when talking about corn (starch) production/harvesting/distillation. Nuclear is a clear winner on this score. When big machines eventually get to the hydrogen fuel cell stage, there will be next to zero CO2 from nuclear.
Nuclear is the future, and we are currently avoiding the future.
a resident of Charleston Meadows
on Aug 4, 2006 at 2:52 pm
John: China is also building huge numbers of coal-fired electrical generating facilities. That doesn't make it the right decision for the US. We need to look at our own circumstances, and what makes sense in our own country, not to blindly imitate others.
As to putting all the waste from new power plants into Yucca Mountain, forget it. That facility will will barely have enough room to store all the waste from our existing crop of nuclear power plants, and won't be able to fit the additional waste produced by new ones. Lets come up with a definite solution to the waste problem before we build new reactors.
I also hate to break it to you, but we'll probably never see a large-scale rollout of hydrogen fuel cells. The cells require a platinum catalyst, making anything resembling the current technology prohibitively expensive for a large-scale rollout. Eliminating carbon dioxide emissions in the nuclear fuel cycle isn't about to happen any time soon.
a resident of College Terrace
on Aug 4, 2006 at 4:10 pm
The nuclear "waste" issue is hyped too much. Besides Yucca mountain (and as many other holes in the ground, as necessary), there is a final soluton: Subduction zones. Basically, the nuclear residue is put inside a stainless stell cylinder, and buried in a subduction zone (under the ocean). The radioactive material may eventually emerge (tens of thousands of years from now), perhaps as a volcanic eruption.
The waste issue is not a real issue, unless those who oppose nuclear want to hype it up as one. It has been a very sorry story so far, but the future is nuclear in this country. The longer we wait, the more we will suffer.
Hydrogen fuel cells are around the corner. Your argument about the cost of catalysts remind me of the same basic argument about catalytic converters that are on every car today, in this country. It will be overcome, David.

I'm surprised no one has brought up the issues of health and environmental justice with regards to the nuclear power suggestion? Can anyone who wants to live next a nuclear power plant please reply? Some have suggested that our existing nuclear power plants are the most unsecured terrorist targets in our country. And a plant in Sweden just came close to meltdown (Web Link). I am an ardent environmentalist, but would never advocate for nuclear power--it represents too many environmental, social, and economic threats. See Worldwatch Institute's latest magazine for more: Web Link

I would have no problem living next to a nuclear power plant. In the nighborhoods surrounding Three Mile Island, the property values went up (not down), probably because the plant provided relatively high paying jobs, and the workers wanted to live close to work. Nuclear plants are a financial and social benefit to those communities that allow them.
Nuclear plants have very high security, especially after 9/11.
What health effects?
Sorry to be so direct, but your facts are wrong.
a resident of Menlo Park

In my view, no single technology holds the answer to all of our energy problems. Clearly, nuclear will NOT meet our transportion needs until everyone has electric cars, so at the very least we need a mix of electrical energy and transportation energy sources.
With respect to electrical energy, I'm sceptical of the "bury it somewhere and it won't be a problem for 10,000 years" arguments regarding nuclear waste, which sound to me like we're sweeping the waste under the rug. Also, I haven't heard anyone here mention the threats of increased proliferation of nuclear weapons as nuclear power production increases (although maybe I skimmed the postings too quickly).
The bottom line is that our electric grid needs a mix of technologies. Power plants have different operating characteristics (overal capacity, start up time, waste generated, # of people required for operation, etc.), and no single type of power plant will meet all of our needs. There probably IS a place in our overall mix for nuclear, but until we can find a better solution for the waste issues, we should be continuing our push into energy efficiency, renewables, and carbon sequestration from coal plants.

John: I think you've overestimating the value of subduction zones for disposing of nuclear waste. The available subduction zone in North America, the cascadia subduction zone, has a plate movement rate of only 3-4 cm per year. In addition, the cascadia subduction zone (like most subduction zones) is underwater, assuring a fairly rapid corrosion rate for metal waste containers, as well as major engineering difficulties in properly burying the containers.
Until we've done a series of technical feasability tests using non-radioactive tracer compounds, I'd be VERY uncomfortable trusting subduction zones as a choice for burying nuclear waste.
a resident of College Terrace
on Aug 7, 2006 at 6:22 pm
That's fair, I suppose. I offer up the following website, describing possible subduction zone disposal. I am open to your specific criticisms.
Web Link
a resident of Charleston Meadows
on Aug 8, 2006 at 10:07 am
John: Assuming that the web site in question is accurate (which I have some serious doubts about) burying nuclear waste in a subduction zone doesn't gain you very much. Notice how the diagram shows the waste becoming harmless due to radioactive decay before it enters the mantle and well before it is carried down to some great depth. This means that still need a containment system around the waste which is sufficient to contain it for as long as you would if you were burying it outside a subduction zone.
a resident of College Terrace
on Aug 8, 2006 at 1:28 pm
David, Once injected into the subduction zone, it should never be a problem (millions of years in this cycle, well beyond the 1/2 life decay issues). If buried at Yucca mountain, it will need a few thousands of years. This is probably a safe thing, but it is still accessable to future generations (both a good, and a potentially bad, thing).
The link on subduction zone disposal is just one guy's patent proposal - but something that should be studied by the Dept. of Energy.
In he meantime, here is a link that summarizes the nuclear disposal issue:
Web Link
The bottom line is that nuclear waste disposal it is not really a major issue.

And of course breeder reactors cut down the waste storage requirement by several orders of magnitude. We might even use most of the waste to sterilize foodstuffs, thus sparing us the million or so deaths every decade from spoiled food. I would far prefer a nuclear reactor next door than a Greenpeace Pirate.

being environmentally friendly is all well and good but once you go the route of not flushing the toilet for days just to save a few gallons of water you've entered the realm of filthy, disgusting hippies.

Here's an old thread about it:
Jennings T-380/.380 Auto Pistol?
The Kel-Tecs have a sort of following around here. My next firearm purchase will likely be a P3AT for pocket carry. But, if the Kel-Tec doesn't feel right in your hands, then don't purchase one. If that's the case then the LCP probably won't feel good either. If you can go a little larger, the Bersa .380 is popular and so is the Walker PPK/S.

Triple homicide at pit bull breeding ranch
Officials say deadliest crime in Oneida County
HOLBROOK, Idaho - The Oneida County Sheriff's Office is investigating a triple homicide at a western Oneida County pit bull breeding ranch where dog fighting and marijuana growing were taking place.
Investigators on scene found evidence that not only were pit bulls being bred, they found an arena where the dogs were being fought. They also found an intricate water and lighting system to grow 38 marijuana plants, valued at an estimated $95,000.
While they are not ruling out these illegal activities, they are also not saying the murders were because of them.
"How that's all going to come together we don't really know yet," said Oneida County Sheriff Jeff Semrad. "You could say it might be drug related, it might be dog fighting related, it may not have anything to do with either one or it may have something to do with both of them."
The breeding ranch is about 20 miles west of Malad in Holbrook, located on 19,000 West, right off of Highway 38.
Deputies say it happened Thursday afternoon or evening. They also say three bodies were found inside the home Friday afternoon. They released information on the murder Saturday.
The bodies of 61-year-old Brent L. Christensen, 32-year-old Trent Jon Christensen and 27-year-old Yavette Chivon Carter were all found inside the home. Police say they were shot to death.
Deputies say Trent Chistensen's and Carter's two young children were at the scene. Their 2-year-old girl was on the steps outside, and their and 2-month-old girl was found safe under Carter's arm as she was protecting her.
Deputies also found about 50 to 70 pit bull dogs and puppies and about 38 marijuana plants worth $95,000 in the basement of the home.
Investigators say evidence shows that this was not a random murder and the public is not in immediate danger.
"This is a very peaceful part of our county," Sheriff Semrad said. "These people are like family whether they're related or not. They help each other out. We don't have a lot of problems out here."
The sheriff's office is asking anyone that may have attended the Easter party at the residence on Sunday, March 31, to contact the Oneida County Sheriff's Office at 208-766-2251.
The sheriff's office is also looking for a driver of a red semitrailer. They earlier had been looking for the driver of a blue semitrailer, but that driver has contacted authorities. Both had been seen at the residence this past week and neither was pulling a trailer. The semitrailer drivers are not suspects but may have information that would be helpful to the investigation.
Deputies said the dogs are still on the property and food has been donated to help feed them. They're asking the owners of the dogs to pick them up.

New Orleans The new book, "The American Nurse," and its companion website, www.americannurseproject.com, feature eight nurses from the Interim LSU Public Hospital.

The project has photographs of nurses nationwide and interviews with them. Carolyn Jones was the photographer and interviewer.
With nurses from 28 institutions, including the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola, the project attempts to portray the vital role nurses play as healers in the daily delivery of healthcare.
