It's warming up
Original post made by Diana Diamond, Palo Alto Online blogger, on Jul 24, 2006
Standing in line, everyone seemed aware of the heat. "It's 110 in Livermore and 140 degrees in Iraq today," one young man commented. Another man said that while driving to see this film, his car thermometer registered 108 degrees outdoors.
So the recent week-plus heat wave may have made us all particularly alert to the message in Al Gore's film, "An Inconvenient Truth." Global warming is occurring, and at an alarming rate. The photos of the disappearing snow-capped mountains worldwide was quite convincing.
I certainly perked up when Gore talked of the melting glaciers and ice formations around Antarctica that could result in a 20 foot increase in the oceans and seas. He showed the effect these rising waters would have on parts of the world, including the San Francisco Bay. I watched the simulated waters slowly overtake the land around the Bay. At 10 percent I began to worry, at 15 percent I would be the home owner of Bay front property, and at 20 percent my whole neighborhood would be gone, as would most of all the neighborhoods east of Alma Street. And I'm not even living in the flood plain.
I came out a convert, not that I was a disbeliever to begin with. Global warming is occurring, and as a country we need to do what we can to halt it, since the United States contributes to 30 percent of the global warming problem.
I didn't grill outside last night, and I turned out most of my lights. Every little bit helps.

One minor correction:
Al Gore talked about a 20 foot increase in sea levels, not a 20 percent increase. From looking at USGS topographic maps, that isn't quite enough to reach Alma St -- Waverly St. is at about a 20 foot elevation for much of its route through southern Palo Alto. By contrast, a 20% increase in sea depth would put the waterline somewhere up in the Santa Cruz mountains above Palo Alto.

The inundation zone definitely includes the sites for Palo Alto's coveted Auto Row along 101. Automobiles generate carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide aids global warming, which melts glaciers, raises the ocean levels, and floods our Auto Row. The irony.

Actually there will be considerable benefits to global warming for the populations of USA,Canada and North Europe.a few hot days in the summer, much less heating needs in winter and more efficient transportation through the North Passage.As the warming is inevitable we should discus both the benefits and the risks
My main concern is the huge and increasing pollution and public health problems created by China which nobody talks about and as China is not a democracy internal discussion is impossible.

Thanks for the counter point, while also accepting the idea that global warming, due to human activity, is real.
If we accept that it is true, maybe we should look at real change. Did Gore suggest nuclear power plants , which produce no greenhouse gases? If not, maybe he has an agenda.
What do you think?
Diana Diamond seems to think the answer is to do mini-actions, like turning off the lights. Nothing wrong with that, it is a good thing, but she fails to understand that the CO2 battle will require very big solutions. Solar and wind will help, but it won't be nearly enough. Nuclear energy should be considered.

Has anyone heard of any meetings happening in Palo Alto to discuss how we can support each other in reducing our CO2 emissions? Al Gore may be preaching to the choir, but has the choir changed its light bulbs yet? Have we given up our SUVs? Have we written letters to politicians to insist on legistlation that will reduce CO2 emissions - adding our voices until a mighty cachophony of requests can no longer go ignored? Have we installed solar panels to power our home? Are we still booking long plane flights without serious consideration to the impact this makes on CO2 emissions?
There are so many things we can do to reduce our CO2 emissions, large and small, but is it hard to be good even we can sing Al's song.
I believe it would be a big help if people in the community met once a month to support and encourage one another in activities that will reduce our CO2 emissions.

Hey, since those bastards took away our yacht harbor, it would be nice to tie up in my front yard. Don't worry your pretty little head, D.D., Gore's science is right up there with his property management skills.

You seem to have swallowed 'hook line and sinker' the Al Gore movie, as fact. Here is an alternative view, published on the Internet, well before the movie. At least give it a look:

John -
Yes, I was convinced by the Al Gore movie, and I also visited the web link you suggested.
Web Link
I noticed it was last updated in 2002.
And while I would agree that there have been swings in the globe's temperatures, and that we have had ice ages followed by warming periods, most scientists today do agree that there is a decided upswing in temperatures, that we are experiencing global warming, and that these temperature increases are caused by humans. The last 15 years or so have experienced the 10 highest years of recorded high temperatures.
If you are right -- that we are not experiencing global warming -- I would be delighted. But if you are wrong -- and we take no action -- we are going to have world-wide problems. I would personally prefer to act prudently, and try to do what we can to stop global warming.
It may not even be too hard to do. Look at the tremendous success we have had in many places in the United States in reducing the amount of smog.

I really like your passion on local issues, even if I don't agree with all of them.
However, on the global warming issue(s), you are assuming that Al Gore's movie is accurate. As with any piece of propagands, one needs to look at what is missing, not just what is included.
Diana, the global climate issues are extremely complex. Actually, our current statistical models are barely adequate. I could offer lots of examples to counter current beliefs, but that is not the real point. This debate will go on for the the next several decades (more or less). Probably, satellite data will carry the day. At this point, satellite data show little, if any, global warming.
My main point is that this issue should not become a political argument, before it is clearly understood. The cost/benefit analyis is volatile, right now. There is a huge cost to be paid if, for instance, human-generated CO2 is NOT a cause of the current warming trend (if there is one).
Diana, stick to local issues.

John is quite right. While it's increasingly clear that there is some global warming happening, and it's likely that at least some of it is due to human activity, there are still huge uncertainties. It would be better not to have the politica argument before the science is better understood.
The other point that isn't stressed by global warming worriers is the true extent of the economic and lifestyle sacrifices that would be involved to affect the ongoing warming if it's assumed that their predictions and models are correct. If the models that purport to show very significant human caused global warming are correct, then we all have to do much more than change lightbulbs and switch to driving Priuses.
The very significant reductions in greenhouse gasses called for the Koyoto Treaty (which was rejected by 96 of our 100 Senators, and which only two of the European signers have been able to meet), would, if you believe the most prominent warming models, reduce warming by less than 1% over 20 years.
The point is that to get real reductions in the hypothetical future warming as predicted by the models would mean cuts in energy use that would reduce GNP by 20 to 30 %, and would require significant restrictions in the use of private automobiles, home heating, and etc. This isn't politically possible in the US. And getting developing nations like China and India, where most of the increases in greenhouse gasses are coming from, seems highly unlikely.
There is a danger that we will do enough to harm the economy, but not enough to do anything about global warming. Perhaps a better path would be to try to assure we have enough economic growth so that when the problems of global warming become apparent (if they do), we have the resources to deal with them.

We stayed in Marcelo's Apartment for 3 nights and were very satisfied with everything. The Apartment is very nice, quiet and at a great location right in the middle of the city. Marcelo meet us on the way from the station and helped carring the luggage to the Apartment. There were maps of the city in the Apartment so we were well prepared for out stay. We can for sure recommend a stay in Marcelo's Apartment.
The studio was really nice and clean. Marcelo is very hospitable. He prepared us some food at home, bread, jam, butter, milk etc etc... Studio is directly in the centrum. just 5 minutes to the city and do not need to take a bus. If we again have the opportunity to got to Brussel, we know where to stay :-)
We stayed at Marcelo's apartment for one week and really enjoyed the place - really nice, clean, quiet and with every comfort for short and medium periods-, the location- in the heart of down town and few meters from Bruxelles Centrale - and Marcelo is a very kind person. We would definetely recommend it!
Nice place to stay in Brussels. Well located. We were welcomed by Marcelo, everythings ready for a meal. Recomend
ed for futures travelers.
Great location, walking distance to the historic city centre as well as to the European Institutions...
Marcelo is a nice guy and the appartment is in a great position. All you need is already in the room so there is no need to bring anything from home. Despite some problems with the noise (due to a pipe), the stay was fine and pleasant. I reccomend Marcelo's solution to everyone!
The owner Marcelo is such a great person! So friendly and helpful! The whole stay was such a pleasure! I really enjoyed the stay and will book again! The Apartment is in the heart of Brüssel. Near to everything. Great.
A really great place to discover Brussels. Perfectly located to visit everything by foot, in the same time the area is calm and safe. We felt immediately at home in the cosy place; especially because Marcelo is a great host who even provides everything (even bred, milk and juice) for a breakfast in your fridge. We would book there again and strongly recommend this place.
This lovely apartment is located directly in the heart of Brussels. The next bus stop and metro station is just around the corner as well as the royal garden. The apartment is perfect for two. Tea, coffee, milk etc is provided in the apartment, everything for a nice breakfast. We really recommend this place and will definitely stay there again.
El mejor apartamento que he estado este viaje. Limpio, muy muy buen sitio, Marcelo es genial, en definitiva, muy muy recomendable.

I like movies that are imaginative, Prometheus accomplished that. Is it alien or blade runner? No. Is it 20x better than what I'm used to for the science fiction genre? Yes
When I watched it the first time I had the same reaction. After reading a little bit more about it and some explaination on the plot holes, I gave it a second watch and really enjoyed it.
It won't get a second viewing from me. I don't feel I should need to research a movie to enjoy it. I think I just had too high of expectations. I was beyond jacked for this movie.
does the fact that the producers didn't intend this to be a stand alone movie carry any weight in this thread?
I liked Prometheus. I don't see what was so hard to understand about it.
quote:to be fair, what is an Alien movie without this?
The characters actions were over the top which I didn't think fit the film, and several of the actions of the characters did not make sense
I liked it. frick the haters.
quote:Image: http://24.media.tumblr.com/9f9e75c63f4687a40a0c8c7321c19f63/tumblr_mg4t7rgxok1rpvprao1_400.gif
Bill Paxton was amazing in that role.
quote:Pretty much agree with all of this. It was a good movie experience for me. Nothing more. Far from awful.
She was unecessary and shouldn't have been in the movie. Guy pierce, yeah bad call. Hated the shoehorned alien
Don't mind the lingering questions about the engineers, hate how the ooz functioned inconsistently without a clear explanation as to what the frick it is and does
Still, visual flair. High production values, Michael Fassbender gives a great performance. Noomi rapace is excellent and all of the people shitting on it will probably say that they like John carter, immediately invalidating their opinion on science fiction.
If you love late 70s early 80s sci fi, then it's awesome
Beautiful movie with a shitty plot, bad directing, laughable protagonists
makes you sound stupid

From computer chips to convertibles, bridges to bungalows... before anything is constructed or manufactured, it's drafted with CAD
Drafters create the blueprints for everything around us. Using computer aided design (CAD) software, drafters produce technical drawings for a wide range of industries, including architecture, construction, manufacturing, and semiconductor fabrication (computer chips). ACC offers associate degrees and certificates in each of those specialized fields in addition to an interdisciplinary associate degree covering multiple areas. If fast, focused training on the latest CAD software is all you need, then check out the noncredit courses at Austin's CAD Learning Center. All students have access to free tutoring seven days a week and multiple scholarship opportunities.
Should I earn a degree or certificate?
If you're interested in training that'll allow you to obtain an entry-level job as quickly as possible, or you already have a degree in another area, you should look into an Architectural and Engineering CAD certificate. An associate degree, however, can qualify you for higher-level positions. Our advice: if you don't already have a degree, get one. Classes can be planned in such a way that you can receive your certificate in A&E CAD while working toward an associate degree - which can mean employment opportunities before you graduate.
Associate of Applied Science degrees are offered in the following areas of specialization:
Interdisciplinary - Students may choose courses from the architectural, mechanical, civil, or electronics areas to create a custom degree plan that draws from several different areas of study.
Mechanical - Instruction is focused on mechanical CAD graphics and theory used by engineers and designers to prepare drawings of a wide variety of mechanical parts and assemblies.
Architectural - This specialization is for students interested in pursuing careers in architectural CAD drafting and design or those who wish to transfer to a four-year architectural program.
Electronic Graphics - Electrical CAD drafters prepare wiring and layout diagrams for electrical distribution systems, buildings, circuit boards, and other applications in the commercial electrical and semiconductor industries.
Civil ‐ Civil drafters create drawings for the civil engineering industry, including areas of land development, transportation, public works, environmental, landscaping, surveying, design visualization and many others.
Certificates are offered in the following areas of specialization:
Architectural and Engineering Computer Aided Design - This certificate is for students pursuing careers in drafting who do not wish to take the academic courses involved in obtaining an associate degree.
Integrated Circuit Layout & Design - Students interested in the study of integrated circuit mask design, which is used in the semiconductor industry, should enter this specialization.
Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) – Students learn to model machine parts using CAD tools and then utilize CAM software to generate tool paths that drive the CNC machines that turn the CAD models into physical products.
Civil CAD - The main focus of this program is Civil Engineering Computer Aided Design, which applies to transportation, public works, and other infrastructure disciplines.
* Students are strongly encouraged to meet with a faculty advisor before selecting a degree or certificate program.
In addition to the courses above, an extensive selection of noncredit classes are offered to meet the needs and schedules of working professionals through Austin's CAD Learning Center.
What skills can I gain?
Students develop the knowledge and techniques used in the creation of technical drawings, which are graphics used by manufacturers to fabricate electronic and mechanical products, by construction professionals to produce architectural structures (houses and buildings), and in civil engineering projects (roads, dams, bridges).
How long will it take to get a degree or certificate?
Full-time students typically require two years to complete an associate degree, not including prerequisites. Certificates take most full-time students one year to complete.
Where can I work with this education?
A wide range of businesses and government entities depend on CAD drafters, including those in the architecture, automotive, construction, manufacturing, and semiconductor fabrication fields. Locally, ACC graduates are employed at organizations such as National Instruments, Freescale, IBM, BAE Systems, Applied Materials, and numerous smaller design firms.
- Bureau of Labor Statistics (United States Department of Labor)
- Texas Workforce Commission
How do I get started at ACC and where can I find out about financial aid?
Visit ACC's future student's page for admissions information. At the financial aid page you can check your eligibility and submit an application.

Parole for a convicted murderer of a Davis man in 1994 has been denied by the state Board of Parole Hearings panel.
According to the Yolo County District Attorney's Office, the panel denied parole for convicted murderer Timothy Wilson at the California State Prison in Solano.
Commissioner Marisela Montes and Deputy Commissioner Ted Rich unanimously agreed to deny Wilson parole for a period of seven years after deliberating for more than an hour.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Raven reported that Wilson was convicted for the second degree murder in 1994 of 46-year-old John O'Friel, a Bay Area software salesman, at a Davis Park on July 8, 1993.
Wilson was sentenced to 15 years to life in state prison.
After murdering O'Friel, Raven reported, "Wilson then dumped O'Friel's body in a rural part of Yolo County and took the O'Friel's car and personal property to the San Francisco area where Wilson lived."
Wilson was not arrested until almost a month later.
The jury convicted Wilson's 17-year-old accomplice, Josh Coleman, of involuntary manslaughter.
Raven appeared at the hearing on behalf of the Yolo County District's Attorney's Office. He reported that he argued against Wilson's release based upon his inability to take full responsibility for the murder and also due to the fact that he admitted being dishonest about the details of the crime.
Raven said he told the panel "Wilson today was proven to be a manipulative liar who continues to pose an unreasonable risk of danger to the public."
The widow of the victim, Carol O'Friel, and five of their seven children attended the hearing.
Raven said this was the 43-year-old Wilson's third parole hearing.
"At the last hearing he was denied parole for five years," Raven stated.
In addressing the panel and the inmate, Carol O'Friel stated "The grief of this loss is like living with chronic back pain. The pain doesn't go away, you just learn how to cope with it better."
Commissioner Montes read the decision and addressed the inmate after 11 p.m., stating "You savagely beat him to death so the victim's body was defiled so that his face had to be veiled at his funeral. Nobody should have to leave the world in that fashion."
She concluded, "Mr. Wilson currently poses an unreasonable risk and threat to public safety at this time."
"The result of a seven year denial of parole means that the family will not have to travel to a prison and face Wilson again for many years, which is the benefit of Marsy's Law," according to District Attorney Jeff Reisig.
Wilson will not be eligible for parole until January 2021.

Latest round-up from Molineux ladies
Bradford City Ladies 4
Wolves Women 0
Wolves Women were unable to rise to the occasion of playing their final game of the season in the impressive surroundings of Valley Parade, and fell to a resounding 4-0 defeat against hosts Bradford City Ladies.
Having beaten the drop last week in an enthralling encounter against Newcastle United, this game was dominated by the home side, who were battling to secure second place in the league.
Wolves started well with Dani Selmes shooting just over from a Lauren Williams cross, but Bradford came back strongly and created chances with quality crosses being whipped in by their wingers.
Within the space of the next 10 minutes Wolves were under attack as goalkeeper Natalie Hall twice had to race out to clear the danger, but eventually Bradford broke through with an attacking run from their midfield player, who unleashed a terrific 20 yard shot which smashed the net and left Hall with no chance.
A short while later came some sloppy defending from Wolves, who weren't able to clear the danger and Bradford made it 2-0.
Wolves did not let their heads drop, and the remainder of the half was pretty even with both sides having chances, including Jade Hewitt, who could only strike over the bar as half time approached.
The second half continued in the same vein, but in the 65th minute Bradford made it 3-0 with a great finish following a simple run to the edge of the Wolves' 18 yard box.
Bradford ended any Wolves' hopes with another run from midfield to beat keeper Hall and make it four with 20 minutes to go.
Manager Trevor Mullings said: "It was a typical end of season game for us.
"There was no urgency from the players and we found it difficult to retain the ball.
"Bradford played with more conviction and purpose and deserved the win.
"We need to regroup and build on the positives from the season in readiness for next term."
Team: N. Hall, Large, Widdal, Palin, Rimmer, Perks, Williams, Luke, Hewitt, Quick, Selmes.
In contrast to the seniors, the weekend saw plenty of silverware for Wolves' junior sides, with the Under 11s, Under 13s and Under 18s all winning their respective League Cup finals, having already clinched their league titles.
The Under 11s ran out 3-1 winners against Coventry City, with Katie Johnson winning the Player of the Match award.
The Under 13s also faced a Coventry side, who forced the game into extra time after making it 2-2 in the second half. Wolves fought hard though, and a goal from Molly Thompson in the second period of extra time gave them the win.
The Under 15s have to wait until next weekend before they can play their final against league winners Derby County, but the Under 18s wrapped up an impressive season with a 3-2 win against a battling Leafield side, with the game going first one way, then another. Leafield were first on the score sheet, but an Emily North equaliser made it 1-1 at half time. Then Wolves took the lead through Sarah Adamson, before Georgia Seedhouse made it 3-1. Leafield continued to battle, and pulled a goal back towards the end of the game, but Wolves held out for the win.
Wolves Girls and Women now look forward to next season to build on their successes, welcoming young talent from the successful Under 18s team into the senior squad. Details of forthcoming trials will be announced on wolves.co.uk along with Wolves Women Twitter (@wolveswomenfc) and Facebook.

Has anyone else been having problems getting queens from this guy. I've called, left messages, emailed, and sent pms thru bee source.
I prepaid for 200 queens way back in February and as of the 23rd of May have not received one queen. I was supposed to get the queens in beginning of April.
All I have asked is to be updated. I am understanding of weather and other things but would like to been kept informed. I know he's a member of bee source so maybe he'll read this and I will get a response.

"That looks like fun to make. They would make really cute favors for a "tea party" for young girls. I always think Christmas, though, so I would make a few in Christmas colors and hang on the tree, with those tiny peppermint canes and whatever other small candies I could find. This goes on my list!"
"So cute and so creative! I didn't know you could stick marshmallows on glass. I love that these are vanilla milkshakes (my favorite). After I celebrate the 4th of July with my red and blue milkshakes, I think I will venture into other colors. Think how awesome a purple milkshake will look!"
"Well, I am very happy to see this idea. I love pinwheels, and I have a lot of patriotic-themed scrapbook paper. I will make several pinwheels and attach them to a grapevine wreath I have already. Thank you for the great idea. I have just the wall space to hang this. I love that I already have the supplies!"
"I have several plain vases I've kept because I just can't get rid of them. You know how it is, I will use them some day... I love this idea as a decoration to keep out all summer. It also gets me thinking about drawing fall leaves on one vase and putting fall flowers in it. This opens up lots of ways to use vases from the dollar store."
"Oh my, this is a beautiful cake! I love the idea of decorating a cake with pie filling. I would want a slice that has each kind of filling, too. This will make a great Memorial Day dessert. My family will think I am making three pies when they see I bought three different kinds of fillings. Lovely dessert!"

One of the big things I've been thinking about doing is when I'm not playing a movie in the back is having a Chevy emblem move around like a sleep screen on a computer. I don't know if anyone on the website is that computer advanced but I was gonna check and see. Does anyone know how to make a video of that sort that i could put on a dvd and have it play. I was thinking about just having one picture on there but I'm scared that it would burn into the screen and ruin them. I'm using a MacBook so I don't know if I'm 100% able to use all programs. Some one help me please

Boston Financial District Hotel Guide
You're on vacation, and you deserve to indulge in a little retail therapy in the Athens of America.
Just because you won't be browsing for ancient Greek urns doesn't mean there isn't tons of places to give your wallet a workout in Boston. For starters, check out Quincy Market. Located near Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Quincy Market was constructed during the 1800s and named after former mayor Josiah Quincy. Although this piece of the city is indeed historic, it's full of contemporary shops and restaurants as well. If you're renting a car in Boston, simply stash your shopping finds in the trunk and head off to check out more sites. Nearby you'll find the Boston Public Garden, where you can stretch out on grassy knolls or snap pictures of vivacious tulips. Not interested in stunning flora and fauna? Head to the Boston Tea Party Ship and Museum for a glimpse into the city's past, or practice making fishy faces at the New England Aquarium.
No matter how you choose to spend your time in the Athens of America, you'll relish staying at a convenient Quincy Market-Financial District Area hotel.

'Sa Caseta' geniş açık alanlar ile güzel bir geniş Mallorca evidir. Bu gerçekten muhteşem manzaralı bir güzel, huzurlu bir yer olduğunu.
Biz nazik alınan ve kendimize ev, biz temenni az şeyi vardı.
Biz keyif aldık.
Inca 5 dakika uzaklıkta ve tepenin üst iyi bir diner.
Çok kolay, ve, bizim durumumuzda, hatta vazgeçilmez olan küçük bir araba kiralayın.
'Sa Caseta' is een mooi ruim Mallorcaans huis met voldoende buitenruimtes. Het ligt op een prachtige, rustige locatie met inderdaad een schitterend uitzicht.
We werden vriendelijk ontvangen en het huis had voor ons in ieder geval alles wat we konden wensen.
Wij hebben genoten.
Inca ligt 5 autominuten verderop en boven op de heuvel is een goed eethuis.
Een autootje erbij huren is wel heel makkelijk, en, in ons geval, zelfs onontbeerlijk.
Its a fantastic Finca in the countryside of Mallorca but still very close to Santa Margalida. It has a beautiful, large and clean pool. The sourrounding yard is decorated with beautiful flowers. The house is decorated in an "old-fashion/classical" style and very cosy. The furniture in- and outside is very comfortable and solid - no plastic chairs or similar. The interior gives you everything you need: A huge fridge including 3 big ice buckets, a washing mashine, a barbeque on the terrace and a nice outside-couchplace. The kitchen provides any tool you´d need. Well, I could write a novel about the beauty of this place...
Last but not least we had very nice expirience with the daughter of the owner who visited us the second day in order to ask if everything is okay and to give some info about garbage and electronics.
To make a long story short: We had a fantastic stay and we will come back to this beautiful place a s soon as possible.

text: Can anyone give advice on how to handle a very aggressive hive? A swarm comes out when the cover is lifted. I am then covered in angry bees and cannot work. This colony was a swarm given to me in early spring. They were more aggressive then my other bees, but I didn't think much about it until time to remove the honey. This is not normal compared to my other two hives.

Questions surface about decisions made at beginning of Black Forest Fire
EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. - The El Paso County Sheriff and first responders said there are questions about decisions the Black Forest fire chief made during the initial critical hours of Colorado's most destructive wildfire, the Black Forest fire.
The wildfire tore through the Black Forest in northern El Paso County. The first radio transmission came in at 1:43 p.m. on Tuesday, June 11. It alerted first responders of a "fire smoke investigation" in the Black Forest area.
Firefighters rushed in to help. The radio erupted as engines alerted dispatch they were headed to the area.
El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa was listening to radio communication that day. He expected a call that the fire was out. It didn't come.
"The fire was growing," said Maketa.
He headed to Black Forest.
Fire Chief Bob Harvey with the Black Forest Fire Department was initially in charge of fighting the flames. Every time a wildfire grows, it's passed from the local fire department to the sheriff's office to the state. Each time the fire is transferred to higher command, more resources open up to battle it.
"It's opening a conduit to get that air support, guard troops, the larger movement of firefighters into the area," said Maketa.
Once Maketa arrived, he asked Harvey if he would like to pass command to the county because he could see the fire was spreading quickly.
"He (Harvey) said, 'No, we got this.' And I said, 'Well, what do you have? I mean, this thing looks pretty big.'"
Maketa took another look at the fire, and asked Harvey again.
"'He (Harvey) said, 'We got it. We got it.' I said, 'Well, you have homes burning.' He said, 'No we don't. No, no, we are alright.' I said, 'No, I'm telling you, you have homes burning. I just saw it with my own eyes.' I said, 'Are you sure you aren't ready to pass it on?' He said, 'Nope, I got it.'"
"It was clear to me, he underestimated, he did not realize how fast the fire had moved. He didn't realize it was up in the trees. He didn't realize homes were burning and that is certainly an indication of when the fire should be passed on," said Maketa.
Maketa said when Harvey became chief, he told Black Forest firefighters he would never transfer a fire in his jurisdiction to the sheriff's office.
"I heard him living up to what he said he was going to do and it is of no benefit to the community," said Maketa. "Egos should never interfere."
KRDO NewsChannel 13 has contacted Harvey and requested interviews since August. He has ignored all requests.
KRDO NewsChannel 13 asked Harvey after a meeting on Thursday, Nov. 21, why he didn't pass the fire to the sheriff's office sooner. Harvey said it wasn't true. He would not answer any other questions.
Scott Campbell is the El Paso County Sheriff's Office fire management officer. He would later become an incident commander for the Black Forest Fire.
"We are just wildland fire," said Campbell. "This is our specialty."
Campbell was one of the first at the fire. Campbell met with Harvey.
"I asked if he wanted to transfer command to the county and he declined. He said that he had it, he was going to get this one and he didn't want to pass," said Campbell.
Campbell kept records of his attempts to take control of the fire from Harvey.
"Black forest is not, they are retaining command so it's still their fire," said Campbell in a recorded phone conversation on June 11 to dispatch.
Campbell has been in charge of fighting wildfires since 1996. In almost two decades, no fire department has held onto a fire after he's asked to take command.
"It was confusing," said Campbell.
Harvey would eventually hand over command at 3:55 p.m., two hours after the initial radio dispatch at 1:43 p.m.
This story is the first of a three part series airing on KRDO NewsChannel 13 at 10 p.m. this week. The investigation will air in its entirety on KRDO NewsChannel 13 at 10 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 30.

Revolution season comes to end
The Pequot Lakes Revolution dance team competed in the Section 4AA Tournament last weekend with hopes of advancing to the state tournament for the first time since being moved up to Class AA four years ago.
However, the Revolution's fifth-place finishes in both the high kick and jazz categories were not enough to advance.
The top three teams in both categories advance to the state tournament. The three teams to advance in both high kick and jazz were Sartell-St. Stephen, St. Cloud Cathedral and Rocori. The team from Detroit Lakes was fourth in jazz, and Sauk Rapids-Rice placed fourth in high kick.
"Our goal going into Saturday was for our team to perform at its personal best," said coach Amber Peterson. "I do feel we accomplished just that. Unfortunately, it was just not enough to advance to the state tournament. Our section, 4AA, in my opinion, is one of the toughest sections in the state and produces strong dance teams. This group of girls worked very hard this year and, each day, they continued to strive for excellence. Kristin (McSherry-Neale) and I could not be more proud of them.
"We would also like to thank all the parents and fans that travel to all the competitions and support the dance team," Peterson said. "It is very important to all of us to have a strong fan base; the support is much appreciated."
High kick results: 1-Sartell-St. Stephen, 2-St. Cloud Cathedral, 3-Cold Spring Rocori, 4-Sauk Rapids-Rice, 5-Pequot Lakes, 6-St. Cloud Apollo, 7-Detroit Lakes, 8-Alexandria, 9-Fergus Falls-10-Underwood, 11-Albany, 12-Melrose Area, 13-New London-Spicer, 14-Annandale, 15-Crookston.
Jazz results: 1-Sartell-St. Stephen, 2-St. Cloud Cathedral, 3-Cold Spring Rocori, 4-Detroit Lakes, 5-Pequot Lakes, 6-Sauk Rapids-Rice, 7-St. Cloud Apollo, 8-Albany, 9-Alexandria, 10-Fergus Falls-Underwood, 11-New London-Spicer, 12-Melrose Area, 13-Crookston.

Fire evacuees, vacationers keep close eye on East Peak Fire
WALSENBURG, Colo. - Smoke cast a shadow on summer fun for vacationers at Lathrop State Park in Walsenburg Saturday.
The East Peak Fire continued to burn out of control at the base of Southern Colorado's Spanish Peaks outside Walsenburg.
John Ryan and his family spent the day on a Jet Ski in the park's Martin Lake. They were hesitant to make the trip but they were reassured the park was safe from the flames.
"It's right behind your mind. It's there, you can see it, you know. It's sad. It's just sad," saidRyan.
Joyce Mcgrew enjoyed the cool water and sunshine with her family. Smoke plumes near Martin Lake hit close to home - they knew relatives and friends affected by the Black Forest Fire.
"It's hard to come to the top of the hill [in Lathrop State Park] and you can see the fire yet it's so far away," said Mcgrew. "We know that it can change so we are kind of cautious but we have a little fun right now."
In a campsite above the lake, Terry Bloomfield kept a close eye on the fire. The flames forced Bloomfield and his wife Susanne from their home Wednesday.
"We could see the flames easily from our house and it was at least 8 miles away," said Bloomfield. "It was pretty scary. You could see the flames moving down the ridge."
Wind pushed the fire dangerously close to their home. The Bloomfields estimated the fire was moving toward their home - the last update they received indicated it was 2 miles away.
"We have just cut trees, killed trees, cut brush, but if the wind blows, it won't make any difference," said Susanne.
Their neighbor decided not to evacuate. He called the couple Saturday around 11 a.m. with an update on their home. The Bloomfields' home and surrounding neighborhoods were untouched.
"There is nothing on the ranch affected," said the neighbor in a phone call with the couple. "(A map) showed (it was) awfully close, within a couple miles. It has obviously retreated back from us which is good."
The Bloomfields' home was one of 300 homes in the mandatory evacuation zone. The Bloomfields said the good news meant they could rest a little easier. They said they will continue to keep their binoculars pointed toward the fire.

[Bundymania User Review] 9 Fullcover Waterblocks for HD7970 - Roundup
Hello guys,
In this review I would like to give you a broad overview concerning the current watercooling-solutions for the beloved HD 7970 graphic card from AMD. Some of the coolers might fit to the smaller brother card 7950. You will find the information about the compatibility to this card in the well-known web shops. If you might have noticed (maybe not yet ) the summer is coming and your graphic card might need a fresh, cool breeze. Another positive aspect of a watercooling-solution is the very low noise level or - depending from your radiator and fan layout the full silence.
As you might know my reviews, all popular producers with their current cooling-solutions are tested here. I will as well update this review, if a producer will release a new version of his cooler. A quite good information for the disassembly of the stock air-cooler: Run Furmark for at least 10 minutes. The produced heat contributes to the softening of the thermal grease and thermal pads, which makes the disassembly quite easier.
So let us take a closer look at the testing candidates:
EK Water Blocks EK-FC7970 - EN (Nickel)
The cooler from EK Waterblocks comes with slight re-desgin of its successful watercooling-solutions for graphic cards. The bottom of the cooler is in comparison to the older version is a little bit thinner and the cooling-structure is quite more filigree. The top is as well re-designed (which I like much more than the older design). Another feature, which is meanwhile a standard of EK Waterblocks, is the production of different designs of the EK-FC7970. In this review I will test the version with nickel-plated bottom and an acrylic-glass top.
The processing quality is on a good level, but you might find some little scratches in the inside from the milling. Some of them are as well on the bottom side of the cooler. You will find beside the installation manual in English language and the common installation material a small allen key for the assembly of the screw plugs.
The cooler comes well proteced in the well-known and nicely desgined orange-black coloured retail box.
The installation is as well for untrained constructors quite handsome. The customer just has to cut the thermal pads by himself for all chips except the GPU, for which you have to use thermal grease.
The re-design of the cooling-structure results in tight fins and catapults the cooler to the top positions in my charts (but not the first place ;-)).
The voltage controller are as well actively cooled by water and you can purchase an optional backplate for around 25 Euros.
Technical Details:
Material: Acrylic glass, copper (nickel-plated)
Threads: 4 x G 1/4"

Click here for the englisch installation Manual.
Scope of supply:
Cooler without Fittings (G1/4 Threads)
Installation material
Thermal pads
Price: ca. 94 Euro
Aquacomputer aquagrATIx für HD 7970 (Tahiti XT)
The aquagraATIx from Aquacomputer fort he HD 7970 looks quite elegant and shiny. The outward appearance shows overall the usage of metal as a robust material. Only the connection port is made of delrin. The processing quality is as the cooling performance - on a very high level. The parts of the cooler which have direct contact to the graphic card are polished to maximize the heat transmission. The cooler comes well protected to the customer in a nicely designed retail box with the common installation material and installation manual. The assembly of the cooler is very easy, which means you just need a few minutes for the whole procedure.
You can watch below the whole installation procedure in a video on youtube:
aquagratix HD7970 Installation - YouTube
The voltage controllers are actively cooled with water like the EK (Aquacomputer named this feature 3D Flow). The cooler from Aquacomputer is the only candidate in this review, where you have to apply thermal grease on the RAM-Chips (thermal grease is not part of the scope of supply). An additional backplate can be bought for around 25 Euros. The cooler has no deficits and convinced me concerning all aspects. You have to pay around 90 Euros for the cooler (regular price I guess).
Technical Details:
Body: Copper
Top: Stainless-steel
Conncetion port: Delrin
Scope of supply:
Cooler without Fittings (G 1/4" Threats)
Installation material including thermal pads
Two screw plugs
Price: ca. 89 Euro
Koolance VID-AR797
Let us take a closer look at the Koolance VID-AR797 which is designed in the USA and produced in Korea. The well-known company uses mixed materials for their coolers (dark nickel-plated copper for the bottom and delrin and stainless-steel for the top). The VID-AR797 cooler has a solid appearance and is very well processed. It comes in decent black retail package and is as the other coolers crossfire-compatible. The scope of supply contains the common installation manual and the installation material (including thermal grease for the GPU). You have to apply two different sorts of thermal pads to the RAM and the voltage controllers, which you will have to cut by yourself. The size of the pads is very well calculated, so you have enough material to assemble the cooler a second time. The voltage controllers are directly cooled by water. A special feature of the cooler is the usage of the fourside backplate including screws and springs from the stock air-cooler. You cannot purchase an additional backplate for this cooler. The installation procedure is easy, but a multilanguage installation guide would be helpful. The VID-AR797 is well processed, convinces with its cooling performance and the scope of supply is as well very good. You can buy this cooler for around 123 Euros.
Technical Details:
Material: Nickle-plated copper, Acetal
Threat Size: G 1/4"
Sizes (LxBxH): 15,9cm x 14,6cm x 1,6cm
Weight: 680g
Scope of supply:
Koolance VID-AR797 Cooler
Thermal grease
Installation material
Price: ca. 123 Euro
XSPC Razor 7970
The next cooler in my comparison is the Razor 7970 from XSPC. This cooler is quite thin and lightweight. The bottom is made of copper. The top is made of stainless-steel. On the sides of the cooler you will find cooling-elements, which are made of aluminum and fulfill the function to cool the voltage controllers passively. The Razor 7970 comes in a black retail package with an XPSC Logo on the front. The cooler is well protected from any damage, because it is wrapped in bubble-foil. The scope of supply contains the common installation material and an installation manual in English language. The cooler comes as well with thermal grease and thermal pads, which are already cut in the correct sizes, so you can just start the assembly of the cooler out of the box (quite nice ).
I think the crossfire-compatibilty is in this days a standard-feature. You cannot purchase an additional backplate for this cooler. The processing quality of the cooler is on a good level and the installation is quite easy. The cooler performs well but does not show the best results (but is still much better than the air-cooler). You can buy this cooler for around 93 Euros.
Technical Details:
Material: Bottom = copper, Top = stainless-steel
Threats: G 1/4"
CNC milled copper
Sizes: 220 x 142 x 9mm
Crossfire-ready with 4x G1/4" threats
Scope of supply:
1x XSPC Razor 7970
1x thermal grease
2x screw plugs
Thermal pads
Installation material
Price: ca. 93 Euro
Watercool HEATKILLER® GPU-X³ 79X0
The Heatkiller for the HD 7970 comes from the northern company Watercool. The cooler comes well stuffed in a nice retail package to the customer. The scope of supply contains, besides the cooler, the common installation material and an installation manual in German language. Unfortunately there is no thermal grease, which should be applied only to the GPU. Nevertheless the thermal pads are already cut in the correct sizes (nice!). The cooler looks quite elegant and has a copper bottom with a polished stainless-steel top. The installation of the very well processed cooler is quite easy and done without any problems. The voltage controllers are actively cooled by water. You can purchase an additional backplate for the Heatkiller for around 25 Euros, which contributes to the nice look. The price is on a standard level and the cooler shows the best cooling performance in this comparison!
Technical Details:
Material: Copper, Stainless-steel, POM

Swiftech Komodo™ HD7970 Fullcover Waterblock
Swiftech, the well-kown pioneer for watercooling-solutions has as well released a new cooler for the AMD 7970. The Komodo HD 7970 Fullcover watercooler comes in a simple white package and is well wrapped in bubble-foul. Therefore the cooler is very well protected from any damage. The scope of supply contains besides the cooler the common installation material and a Multilanguage installation manual. The cooler comes as well with a nice black backplate and black coloured single-slot-cover. There are as well the needed thermal grease and two black screw plugs.
Another nice feature of the Swiftech cooler is, that the thermal pads are already applied to the cooler, so the customer just has to remove the protection-foil and apply thermal grease to the GPU to get ready for the assembly. The bottom of the cooler is chrome-plated and the top is made of black Acetal and shows a nicely designed patch. An second special feature is the additional led in the connection port, which enlightens the Swiftech Logo in red. The Led receives the power from the Fan Header of the graphic card.
The Swiftech Komodo is very well processed and has a very flashy design. The scope of supply is as well very nice, but the cooler could not reach the absolute top position for its cooling performance (but the difference to the top levels is still very small).
There is as well a certain feature concerning the assembly of the cooler: Swiftech uses the small backplate of the stock air-cooler. If you do not want to use the small backplate, you can as well install the cooler with four screws, that are a little bit longer than the other ones. Therefore the scope of supply is quite perfect, but it would have been completed with a small screwdriver, which is needed for the installation.
The cooler cannot be purchased in germany, but hopefully this will be possible in the further future. The price is with 155 US Dollar quite high, but if you take back in mind that the scope of supply is quite big, the height of the price is quite relative (Scope of supply contains additional backplate around 20-30€ and a single-cover).
Technical Details:
Threats: G 1/4"
Top: POM Acetal
Bottom: chrome-plated copper
Backplate Material: Aluminum
Sizes: Länge: 269mm x Breite: 120mm x Höhe 14,9mm

3x Sensors for watertemperature (2x T-Line, 1x Reservoir)
Thermal Grease: Phobya HeGrease
Additional Water-mixture Innovatek Protect
ArctiClean was used to clean the GPU and the Rams
Testing procedure:
I used Furmark v.1.8.2 for stress-testing the GPU in order to reach a high temperature (settings: 1280x1024, 8x MSAA). The stress-test ran for thirty minutes. To quantify the maximum temperature of the GPU I used GPU-Z. CPU ran in idle status.
I used the Phobya Hegrease thermal grease. Every cooler was assembled for three times and the best result took part in my statistics. I controlled the correct fit of the coolers and every cooler was flushed before testing in order to remove certain rest from the production
Testing results:
Delta-T / Difference GPU to Water temperature. – lower is better
Liter / h.
Price in Euro
Scope of supply:
The Bundymania Gold Award goes to the coolers from Watercool, Koolance and Aquacomputer for the very good processing quality and cooling performance.
The Silver Award goes to the coolers from Swiftech and EK for the well cooling performance and the big scope of supply.
The Bronze Award goes to the XSPC Razor 7970 for a solid processing quality and cooling performance and the good scope of supply.
In my opinion the most important result of my review is, that all coolers do not differ very much from each other concerning the cooling performance. Because mostly all of the coolers use the same cooling structure I cannot give any advises for the "ultimate-cooler", but you should take additional details like the price, optics and scope of supply in mind, if you like to buy a cooler. One thing is for sure: Every Fullcover-watercooler fulfills his job better than the stock air-cooler! The Swiftech Komodo takes up a special position, because it cannot be bought at this time in Germany (the scope of supply is great!). All in all, it will be a nice feature, if every producer applies thermal grease and screw drivers or allen-keys to their scope of supply. I think this parts are quite low-price options, which can be expected from the customer, if you pay up to 120€ for a fullcover-cooling-solution.
I would like to thank the following companies for supporting my reviews:
Aquatuning, Aquacomputer, Phobya, Watercool, EK Waterblocks, Swiftech, Koolance, XSPC, Noiseblocker, Gigabyte, Alphacool, Cougar, Microcool and Kingston

UPDATE 09.07.12: 3 new watercoolers from Liquid Extasy, Alphacool and Danger Den were added !
Alphacool NexXxoS ATXP ATI 7970/50 Serie
Alphacool strikes back again ! In the last years there were not many complete new watercooling products from Alphacool, but the company from Braunschweig / Germany did a great job in their development and shows up with five different versions of the NexXxoS ATXP Fullcover watercooler. In this review I am going to test the two version with high-glossy finish (silver and black top), which are quite thin (6mm), light-weight (ca. 750g). The coolers look very nicely and come in a retail-box, which offers everything you might need for the installation including thermal grease. A slight negative aspect is, that you do not find any installation-manual, which you will have to download from the Alphacool Website. The ATXP is accurately processed and is in a few minutes installed. The thermal pads (excluding the pads for the voltage controllers) are as well accurately cut for the RAM. As the cooler follows the common operation mode, you have to apply thermal grease to the GPU. The cooler is well wrapped in bubble-foil and is delivered vacuum-packed to the customer. Especially the vacuum-packaging is a quite good idea, because it protects the copper bottom of the coolers from wetness and ugly blurs. The ground-plate is around 1mm thick and the cooling structure is 8mm broad (according to this sizes, the cooling capacity is on a good level). The Alphacool ATXP fullcover watercooler is crossfire compatible and can be as well used with a single-slot-blend, because of ist ultra-thin build. You can purchase for around 17 Euros a black aluminum backplate, which looks quite good .
The cooler does not reach the top temperature-values, but performs nevertheless good in relation to the waterflow-values. The price is another good aspect of the product, because it is the cheapest product with 80 Euros in my review. The polished tops look very flashy and the stainless-steel silver and black tops are well processed. Overall the Alphacool ATXP cooler is a nice product and i think everyone will find a design version out of the five, which you will like.
Technical Details:
Material: Copper, Stainless-steel
Size (L x B x H): 185 x 124 x 6 mm (see 17mm at the fittings)
Weight: ca. 757g
Fittings: 4x G ¼ Zoll SLI/Crossfire compatible
Compatible to ATI 7970 and 7950 graphic cards in reference layout
Scope of supply:
1x Cooler
Thermal pads
Thermal grease
Installation material
2x G ¼ Zoll Screw plugs
Price: ca. 79 EUR
Optional Backplate for ca. 17 EUR
Liquid Extasy Narrow Line ATI HD 7970 Referenz Plexi
Liquid Extasy is a producer from East-Germany, which is responsible for their current full-cover watercooler Narrow Line HD7970 with acrylic-glass top. An alternative version can be purchased with an acetal top. The cooler is well packed in a neutral box with the common installation material and a manual in German language. I am happy to tell you that the scope of supply contains as well thermal grease. The innovative Speedchannel-System (SCS) was adapted to the GPU Series in order to eliminate emission losses. The whole installation procedure is done with thermal grease, so the amount of thermal grease could have been quite more.
The cooler is nicely designed, if you take in mind that only a few companies produce watercoolers with acrylic-glass tops. Overall the processing quality is not on such a high level as the other candidates, but is still good. So please respect that Liquid Extasy is a very small company, which does not own expensive high-end machines for their production. Not surprisingly but as well important to name: The cooler is SLI-ready and can be used for Multi-GPU-Operating-Systems.
Temperature and waterflow values are on an adequate level, but do not reach the top five charts. The screws, which you will need for the assembly of the cooler, should have been a little bit shorter. Do not use high pressure and assemble at first the middle screws in the direction of a cross.
The cooler can be bought for a price of 90,00 Euros (= standard price level). The cooler is produced in Germany.

Danger Den DD-7970 Fullcover Wasserkühler
The company Danger Den is one of the greatest pioneers on the watercooling sector in the USA. The company produces for many years in the nicely Astoria/Oregon watercoolers and acrylic-glass PC cases in many versions and varieties. The design of the Fullcover GPU coolers does not subject to any great modifications. The producer focuses the functionality of high water-flow values in order to reach the lowest GPU temperatures. I suppose that someone might not like the bold design, but as well some other customer prefer that design. The bold design is definitely a unique feature of the company.
The cooler is well packed in foil and comes to you in a neutral white box.
The scope of supply contains the common installation material and the installation manual in English language. You will find as well two tubes of thermal grease, which you will definitely need, because Danger Den abdicates from thermal pads except the area of the voltage controllers.
A special feature: The cooler comes with an additional four-sided backplate of acrylic-glas with a centered DD Logo. The assembly of the backplate is done with longer screws and springs in order to regulate the contact pressure. A small part of foam is used to isolate the backplate from the graphic-card.
The processing quality of the cooler is on a good level, but the bottom of the cooler shows some slight scratches from the production procedure. The DD-7979 consists of blast cleaned copper and has an acrylic-glass top. There are no other designs planned yet. The cooler is quite massive, robust and heavy. The cooler fits very good to the graphic-card, therefore the assembly is done without any problems. Unfortunately the cooler can be not purchased in Germany yet. If you like the cooler try to check the shop www.highflow.nl. The cooler can be bought for around 90,00 Euros. If you like to have a cooler, which is optimized for high water-flow values, here you go! Customers who might focus the lowest GPU-temperatures should choose another cooler.
Delta-T / Difference GPU to Watertemp. - lower Result is better

Scope of supply:
Bundymania Gold Award goes to Watercool, Koolance und Aquacomputer for the High Performance and superb build quality
Silver Award goes to Swiftech and EK Waterblocks, for a good performance, and for the swiftech block for a huge amount of supply parts !
Bronze Award goes to XSPC Razor 7970 & Alphacool ATXP Kühler for a good scope of supply and good performance
The Best-Buy-for-the-Money-Award goes to the Alphacool ATXP Cooler for the best Price
Update of the conclusion:
The new coolers from Alphacool could convince me with their nice desgin and the great scope of supply. The cooler from Danger Den could reach the top position of the water-flow-rates and the cooler from Liquid Extasy showed off with a good cooling performance and nice outward apperance. Unfortunately the L.E. cooler could not reach an award, because of its processing quality and the overlong screws.

I switched from the regular 10-frame system to 8 because I couldn't lift the boxes when full. I'm happy with lighter boxes, but have some issues with the system itself.
The boxes I got from Humble Abodes (mostly shallows) seem to be a standard size - they fit with bottom boards, excluders, etc. from other manufacturers - but it seems they're too big for 8 frames. I can very nearly fit 9 frames into them. The net result is too much space between frames, especially when they're drawing and establishing comb. If I distribute the extra throughout, they build big fat comb which would be nice except it's irregular, lumpy, and frequently joined to the next frame in places. If I put all the extra space at one end they build huge lumps of comb and attach it at random everywhere. Is there a special frame for 8-systems that's a tiny bit wider? (Not that that would matter down in the real business area.) Are there frames a tiny bit narrower at the top so I could fit in one more? I didn't notice this type of problem with the old 10-frame equipment.
