If high-speed trains are tunneled, what would we do with all that dirt?
Original post made by Jay Thorwaldson, editor emeritus, on Mar 19, 2009
Neighbors along the designated route, the Caltrain corridor, suddenly realized that they could be confronted with elevated tracks that could be a vertical or steeply sloped wall that might swallow up some private residences for a wider right-of-way.
Some civic leaders are pushing to get the high-speed tracks buried deep underground, using modern tunneling technology.
As the Weekly scrambled to cover all the emerging concerns and political positions, a friend asked me an interesting question last week when we were discussing possible alternatives, including tunneling:
"What would you do with all that dirt?"
Now that's a fair question. I immediately quipped that perhaps we could create a second Coyote Hill in the foothills.
Then I recalled a second big story this week: How a predicted rise in sea level this century of about 3 to 4 1/2 feet could expose vast areas of the South Bay to tidal flooding when a high tide teams up with a major 100-year flood. Such an event is misnamed. It actually means a flood or storm that has a 1 percent chance of occurring in any given year. Given climate-change predictions, such an event could occur, say, every decade or so.
In Palo Alto, a flood could extend as far inland as Middlefield Road mostly south of Colorado Avenue, along with other parts of Palo Alto along Bayshore Freeway.
But if that storm and high tide teamed up with an overflow surge down volatile, fast-rising San Francisquito Creek, then homes in northern Palo Alto become at-risk. Upstream, a series of steep, short canyons with historic names quickly feed storm runoff into tributary creeks, meaning San Francisquito can rise from a trickle to overflow within hours.
As for the threat from the bay, I recently came across an old news story I wrote in 1975 about a report that cited subsidence and erosion of levees all around the South Bay, creating an increased flood risk -- even without a rise in sea level.
The report estimated it would cost about $95 million to bring the levees up to where they once were and shore them up. That was 1975 dollars, of course -- the levees aren't the only thing that has eroded.
That work, as urgent as it seemed, was never done, to my knowledge, although levees have been patched up here and there. Instead of following the in-and-out outer levees of the old salt ponds, the engineers decided they should take a much shorter route and build a concrete wall (6 feet high, if I recall correctly) in the landward side of the marshes.
Palo Alto's section of wall would mostly run right along East Bayshore Road. Residents who loved their baylands views and their easy access to the marshlands toward the bay were appalled, and the plan died a slow, sodden death.
"Something there is that doesn't love a wall," famed American poet Robert Frost penned nearly a century ago. But his 1914 poem, "Mending Wall," is about two neighbors who ritualistically meet to repair and rebuild a New England stone wall that rabbit hunters or others have pulled down in places. It includes the famous line, "Good fences make good neighbors," an old saw even then that his neighbor liked repeating.
It was the wall around the bay that killed the levee project more than 30 years ago. And the absence of that project now may threaten thousands of South Bay homes with serious flooding if the sea-level predictions actually occur, as seems increasingly likely according to scientists studying global warming.
So now we face the prospect of a new wall, one to elevate the rails through Palo Alto and neighboring communities.
A full range of possibilities will be studied as part of a comprehensive environmental impact review of the high-speed rail project, as approved by voters statewide last November.
But residents along the tracks in Palo Alto and some other Midpeninsula communities are convinced that a vertical-sided "Berlin Wall" will turn out to be the least costly and most politically attractive alternative.
Some Palo Alto civic leaders are arguing in favor of deep-tunneling the trains, even though that may be vastly more expensive. They say building 600 to 700 housing units along the right of way could offset most of the added cost.
But that's presuming all four tracks (two for the high-speed trains and two for existing Caltrain commute and freight operations) are buried -- which might not be the case at all.
Rod Diridon, a member of the High Speed Rail Authority board, said it might be too costly to tunnel all four tracks, so the Caltrain tracks might remain on the surface much as they are today. But folks should remember that this is a 100-year project, and costs should be amortized over that timeframe -- including perhaps some extra millions of dollars for a deep tunnel (if environmentally feasible).
Diridon, speaking to the Palo Alto Rotary Club Monday (March 16), said while he isn't allowed to express a personal opinion about any specific alternative (due to federal regulations relating to environmental studies on the project) he is able to make the case for the high-speed trains. He cited their huge environmental advantages, their spotless safety record worldwide, their comfort and the fact that they could whiz a traveler back and forth between Los Angeles and San Francisco in just over 2.5 hours, one way. [His PowerPoint presentation is at www.PaloAltoOnline.com/news/show_story.php?id=11639 .]
Diridon also cited potential environmental risks to deep tunneling, such as possible interference with underground aquifer flows.
Getting from one place to another in the Bay Area -- and in California generally -- has been a source of contention since the great growth spurt of the 1950s. Growing up in pre-freeway Los Gatos, I recall Sundays when traffic would back up six miles on two-lane roads filtering through town as folks headed for a day at the beach in Santa Cruz. And that's not even counting the terrible air pollution that would completely obscure the mountains flanking Los Gatos many days a year.
But nowhere has the getting-around issue been more intense and contentious than in Palo Alto and the Midpeninsula, fueled by America's love affair with the car and a jobs-to-housing imbalance as high as 2.5-to-1 in Palo Alto that has pushed people further and further away from jobs to find homes.
But back to the gritty issue of where to put all that dirt from a deep tunnel.
OK, let's take the biggest view possible: Let's use that dirt to fix the bayside levees to protect homes and businesses around the bay, at long last.
As for the elevated-tracks "Berlin Wall" idea, let's see what Robert Frost might say:
"Before I built a wall I'd ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offence."

Is there any consideration of backfilling the huge Permanente quarry hole near Cupertino? It could take the HSR dirt and more.

What to do with all the dirt? Load it on a freight car and haul it to the cities where elevated 75' wide walls are to be built. I keep wondering where they're going to get all the dirt for the proposed walls. This solves both.

How to price a railroad tunnel:
Within cities, railroads belong underground, in tunnels. As we've said many times elsewhere, there are only two issues with tunneling; the technical engineering part and the costs. If they can build a 30-mile long high-speed train tunnel under the English Channel, this 7-miler will be a no-brainer.
What are we talking about? Two two-track, side-by-side tunnels, perhaps 50 ft. or so down, below all the utilities and San Francisquito Creek, beginning at 5th Ave. in Redwood City, and ending at San Antonio Road in Palo Alto. All stations, Atherton, Menlo Park and the two in Palo Alto, would remain at the surface, with escalator and elevator access to the platforms. We are about to learn a great deal more regarding what is involved and what the actual costs will be. Conversations are taking place with a leading construction company that has a track record of tunneling, including work on the Chunnel, Hatch Mott MacDonald.
What's good about this? No tracks on the rail corridor, which becomes open space. Imagine what can be done with that, such as a Green Belt. No shoofly, temporary tracks for the 7 miles of below ground work. Except at each entry portal, no construction easements, and no eminent domain property takings. No grade separations. No fences. No noise.
Now about those exorbitant costs.
Say tunneling costs $100 an inch. Stay with me here (its only hypothetical). Say, also, that leaving the tracks at grade-level or up on a retained-fill wall, expanding the rail corridor by installing all four tracks, and building grade-separation underpasses, will cost $50. an inch, especially with our close-together, collective ten grade crossings from 5th Ave to San Antonio Rd.
Therefore, the tunneling actually costs only $50 an inch, since they are going to have to build something regardless. Next, for all other alternatives besides tunneling, they will need to build temporary tracks on a temporary rail corridor. It will be there for at least five years. That would cost, total, $10. an inch. Tunneling is now $40. an inch, not $100.
Then, deduct eminent domain takings, not necessary for tunneling. Another $10. deducted or, $30. per inch for tunneling. If the rail authority refuses, and we sue to get tunneling and win, that will cost them both lost time and more money. If they were sensible, they could save that to put toward the cost of tunneling.
So, now we have to come up with the extra $30. per inch. How can we do that?
Well, as you know, the deal between Caltrain and HSR is that HSR provides the cash for grade separations and electrification and Caltrain provides the rail corridor itself; OUR rail corridor. We want HSR to pay lease fees/rent to use our corridor. It's their HS train, not ours. Why should we, with our corridor, subsidize a Public/Private Partnership. We taxpayers are already going to be paying through the nose for this thing!
They have no place else to go. They refuse to go any other route. OK, then they will have to pay rent for the privilege of using our corridor. (After all, they say they are going to make lots of money.) That should cover the rest of the tunnel costs.
And, wait, there's more. On or above ground construction and then running 200+ trains a day will have major deleterious impact on our towns, both in the residential and downtown areas. Those costs will be enormous and can be calculated. There's a lawsuit waiting to happen. But, if they tunnel, it would be a win-win. They get their zippy train route and we lose the trains and tracks from the corridor. And, no lawsuits. We're all friends.
As I've said before, they may find, after they pencil this out, that tunneling will be a bargain.
About what Rod Diridon says, don't get me started.

What to do with all that dirt? The better question is what to do with all those houses that would be impacted in far worse ways during construction than if the elevated solution was built.
Cut-and-cover tunneling (which is the cheapest method and used whenever possible) opens a gash in the earth that is 10 to 15 ft wider than the tracks it will contain, to accommodate thick vertical walls that support the tunnel roof and soil on top.
Martin's vision of invisible tunnel boring machines quietly laboring deep underground is quite illusory. If you ask for a tunnel, they will build a tunnel in the cheapest and most fiscally responsible way. That is likely to be a temporary, partial condemnation of adjacent properties and the use of cut-and-cover rather than a bored tunnel-- although it may be possible to encroach on Alma rather than Southgate.
The devil is in the details, I suppose.

Google Alameda Corridor, then Google Earth Alameda Corridor. This recent construction shows how it can be done. [This is in Long Beach, the Alameda is the street it parallels.] To big construction, this project is a piece of cake. Think of a vertical shoo-fly. A pity I'm not a Civil Engineer - this could be fun.

@Walter, the Alameda Corridor cost $2.4 billion. To big construction, this is a piece of pork, not cake.
It would be far cheaper to sieze every piece of property within 100 feet of the tracks throughout the entire length of Palo Alto, on both sides. 4 miles x 200 feet x $4 million/acre = $400M ... chump change! Plant some screening trees, build a bike path, landscaping and water features, et voila!
I'm not advocating such an absurd solution, but it shows how much more absurd your solution is than mine! Trenching or tunneling does not meet any reasonable threshold of affordability. Martin's figure of $100/inch is missing a couple of zeros... try $10K per inch.
Hatch Mott MacDonald ought to know a thing or two about tunnel costs; they are on the team building the (nosebleed expensive and unfunded!) downtown extension of Caltrain/HSR to San Francisco's Transbay Terminal. Kudos for picking talent with such intimate local knowledge.

"What would we do with all that dirt?" The answer to that question is easy. With rising sea levels all the dirt will be needed to reinforce and heighten our levy system both in the Delta and the Bay.
In fact, with global warming and rising sea level much more dirt than will be extracted from a tunnel will be needed just to shore up the levy system throughout California.

I can wait for Rafael's doubtlessly thoughtful and detailed discussion of tunneling. However I hope that he (and you) can see this from another point of view, since different perspectives are always beneficial. One point I wish to raise is: what is the cost for not building the tunnel? What will be the cost to the three cities with expanded corridor development and use? Would you argue that there are none? That there will be no impact on those cities or the residents, or the businesses? Not during the five years of construction, and forever thereafter? I cannot believe that. I believe that there will be major property devaluations, business losses, and costs to the cities. Who should pay for those? You cannot claim that whatever solution the rail authority selects, it will not have major deleterious environmental impact upon our cities.
Listening to Diridon, you can easily get the impression that it is our duty to subsidize his project, whatever that takes. And subsidize it we will. With state taxes to pay off the bonds if and when they sell, with federal taxes which we, and our children and their children will pay for many generations.
Many of your colleagues are quick to argue that we should make whatever sacrifices are necessary for the sake of the train. Do you believe that? Frankly, I'm getting less interested in the emotional and content-free accusations, name calling, etc. from people who neither reside in our three cities or live in proximity to the corridor. As the old cliché has it, their ox is not getting gored. Our friend Cruickshank is far too glib in his obsessive, black-and-white zealotry.
So, why is it so implausible to ask for a tunnel? It turns out that San Mateo County has paid over $500 million dollars to Caltrain to purchase the rail corridor. It is, in a very real sense, OUR corridor. If the CHSRA wants to use this corridor for their train, they will need to lease that property from us. Those lease fees can amortize the tunnel costs over time. Indeed, since the rail authority has made it clear they will go nowhere else than on the Caltrain corridor, that puts us in a strong bargaining position for such a lease deal.
Of course, lawyers will have to sort this all out, and I could just be whistling in the dark.
Also, as I have suggested elsewhere, there are cost offsets that should feed into the equation when talking about tunneling costs. All of which is to say, I think it's too simpleminded and dismissive to say "too expensive" and let it go at that. I'm sure that this will be the rail authority EIS/EIR argument. However, CEQA rules state that the environmentally best, not least expensive, alternative must be chosen.
Before I give up the tunneling dream, I need to hear much more cogent and detailed arguments against this alternative alignment.
Beyond saying that civil engineers can solve any problem with enough money, I can't say more about the technical issues without far more learning about tunneling.
And thanks for providing substance on various blogs, including your own, to otherwise juvenile comments on this critical subject.

Those who live in your three cities or live in proximity to the corridor have hurled insults just as juvenile.

I've never opposed a tunnel and if the Peninsula can find a way to pay for one, be my guest. But Martin Engel is wrong to suggest that the only issue here is whether or not to "gore" the ox of a very, very small number of people on the Peninsula (and to my knowledge hardly anyone will actually lose their home over this), but whether that small group of people will succeed in goring the ox of the entire state, which now depends on building HSR to solve a range of problems.
Palo Alto residents have a responsibility to the state as a whole to ensure this project gets built. And certainly they have a responsibility to themselves to help build it in a way they feel is right for their community. As long as they are able to meet both responsibilities I am a happy camper.

Cruikshank, you should be a comedian.
"Palo Alto residents have a responsibility to the state as a whole to ensure this project gets built."
Oh, is that right? Well prop 1A passed with the supermajority of a whopping 51%, and that was BEFORE the California budget woes were known, and peninsula voters knew you were going to ruin the entire SF peninsula due to the deliberately opaque wording on the ballot.
I'd say Diridon owes this state and APOLOGY and has a responsibility to back out of this boondoggle immediately.
a resident of another community

"Well prop 1A passed with the supermajority of a whopping 51%"
It passed with 52.6% of the vote. If you were going to round the figure you should have rounded it to 53%. But it's not like opponents to actually fire up Google and type in "Prop 1A", click the first link that pops up, and see what the vote actually was.
And maybe you could do some research and find out it was the Bay Area who was practically responsible for getting this thing passed. Every single precinct in Menlo Park voted yes except for one. You don't have to think hard to figure out which precinct that was.
"and that was BEFORE the California budget woes were known"
California's budget woes were known well before the election. After all, when has California NOT been in a crisis?
"I'd say Diridon owes this state and APOLOGY and has a responsibility to back out of this boondoggle immediately."
The state should kiss Diridon's feet for his passion and vision for high speed rail and California's sustainable future.
Okay, not even I can say that with a straight face, but I don't think he owes anyone an apology.

~~~it was the Bay Area who was practically responsible for getting this thing passed.~~~
EXACTLY MY POINT. The bay area was responsible for passing this, which is why Diridon deliberately manipulated the proposition so that the true impacts of this thing were not known to get it through. Well, now the impacts are known so who supports this thing now? Not enough people. If this ever gets built I will eat my hat.
Seriously high speed rail must have paid all these councilpeople hush money or something, because for those that WERE concerned about noise and blight, any questions to govt was dismissed with "its going to be quieter than what we have now", with no reference to the embankment/wall, 12 trains an hour, etc.

"Well, now the impacts are known so who supports this thing now? Not enough people."
And you came to this conclusion after seeing a few meetings where 150 people showed up ranting and raving?
People didn't know the impacts before the election? What, did voters assume they were going to send one 40 MPH train through the peninsula every day? The route decision was made way before the election. Even Alameda County voted yes on 1A after the controversy over Altamont vs. Pacheco. It's clear that high speed rail is desired in California, and especially the Bay Area, despite what a vocal minority has to say.

As the wide majority of support for Prop 1A in Palo Alto showed in November, there are very large numbers of Palo Altans who strongly support HSR on the Caltrain corridor, and many of us live a few blocks from the tracks. Most of us don't have enough free time to regularly post in favor of HSR on the blogs or here on Palo Alto Online. Although I have found myself more involved in recent weeks than I would have anticipated, since I was upset by the narrow-minded and uninformed NIMBY outbursts of some of my neighbors at recent community meetings. Palo Alto's pro-HSR majority's silence should not be interpreted as a lack of support for the project.

Palo Alto wants to put a tunnel 10 miles from the very active San Andreas fault! I believe the downtown area is at a 10% risk of Liquefaction that is expensive engineering. I guess you have forgotten the 1989 quake.

I thought this was a great article. I regularly read the New York Times and this really was far superior to their commentary. I happen to love the work of Robert Frost.
From Mending Wall:
In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.
He moves in darkness as it seems to me
Not of woods only and the shade of trees.
He will not go behind his father's saying,
And he likes having thought of it so well
He says again, "Good fences make good neighbors."
I love this poem, because Frost was really quietly saying that good neighbors make good neighbors. This is what we need to focus upon, the quality of our neighborhood.
If we are going to have high speed rail, we have to look for a solution that satisfies everyone in our community. I am sure if we work through the issues we can find a very good solution over time.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Where I stayed
Arrival into KL was a lot like arriving into Singapore. Efficient taxi service, clean roads, well behaved drivers...everything that India is not for the most part. Not to bash India...because India also has a lot going for it that KL doesn't really have...but I digresshere. Arrived at the hotel front desk around 8AM and was able to score an early check in and take a shower. The hotel was great, but sadly I didn't have a view of the Patronus Towers. After freshening up, I took the free hotel shuttle to a bus stop where you can pick up a "hop on/hop off" tour bus that takes you on a complete drive around the city complete with an audio guide. It was OK, but I'd never do it again as it took entirely too long. By 1PM I was going crazy and I "hopped off" and caught a taxi to get some lunch. I told the driver I was hungry and wanted "American food"...so he took me to the Hard Rock Cafe. Wouldn't have been my first choice, but the burger and beer were damn good! On the way home I walked past the Patronus Towers and into the incredible mall built into the tower complex. Back at the hotel I took a swim on their rooftop pool which offered the best views of the Towers. That evening I had an amazing sushi dinner and went to a local bar that had a great live band.
The next morning I met my recently arrived friends for breakfast and then we were off to see the Patronus towers and check out the city. We had a pretty lazy day which comprised of hanging around the shopping mall, eating more "good" American food at Chili's and having a few beers to cool us down. That evening we managed to hit the same sushi restaurant I hit the night before (you can never have enough sushi after being away from it for so long). Copious amounts of sake and sushi were ingested before we headed off to take some great night time photos of the Patronus Towers. After wards we heard some really great music from a nearby bar so we headed over and found a really cool live music venue which played 80's and 90's music
Sunday is departure day, but our flights are not until 10PM. Two of my friends from H'bad left early as they were continuing on to Bali...the rest of us were all on the same flight back to India that evening. So we got up, checked out of the hotel and headed over to China town for some shopping and a bit of "pampering". The pampering was something that friends have recommended I do in KL...but not what you're thinking. We went to some place called a Fish Spa where you dip your legs into a tank full of these fish (called Doctor Fish) and they nibble away at your feed. Allegedly they eat the dead skin off your feet...but I'm not sure they really made much of a dent on my feet. It was fun and something to say you've done...once.
The trip to the airport was uneventful and our flight home was smooth and fast. Great trip to Malaysia!

Awww :) yes, that's definitely adult fur coming in!
Maybe Finnick will get his soon as he's only a little bit younger than Percy!
His nickname is "floofy" as his head has so much fluffiness (especially around his ears).
Isabella, had the exact same streak upper back looked like a; Rhodesian Ridgeback. You were asking about changing of color at 16 weeks I'm seeing a little bit a Whitehair coming in below the ears on the backside and just a tiny bit under the undercoat, so the coat structure can change or vary.
When do they start to get the bushy tail?

I am Angelique from the Netherlands
I've been crafting since I got pregnant of my oldest (he's 24 by now)
but mostly knitting, cross stitching, these kind of things.
After a couple of years, I had a go at card making with those 3d images, gosh, the amount of cutting
I've done over the years, phew.Had lots of years off, double jobs etc. so no time for crafting,
just a card here and there, nothing fancy.
However, totally got addicted again since November 2012.
Now a bit over a year later, I've made myself a pc/craft room, everyone knows, that's MY DOMAIN,
do not enter without permission!
I'm extremely excited to be part of this team.

I am a mom of two fur babies - tuxedo cats. I love creating artistically and have been do so all my life... I have been card making/ stamping for what seems like decades now, just about 4 years ago I started playing in the online challenges. I use Crayola and Prismacolor markers. Love making water colored backgrounds - gives a scene more personality. I am currently on 7 design teams: LMM, Beccy's Place , Outlawz Tuesday Colour Challenge, Jo' Scrap Shack, Star Stampz, Oddball Stamps and Scrapper's Delight..
Hi I'm Ang, I've always been creative from a young age. I loved making things from ordinary objects or recycling items and making them pretty. I've been making cards and blogging for several years. I have recently got into mixed media which I love as it's so messy! I found Lizzy's Oddball images in 2014 and fell in love, I've been on the DT since and never looked back.

I love animals I have 3 dogs and 2 cats, 2 budgies and about 20 chickens , so I have plenty of things to look after.
Ive just started working from home making paper flowers, really enjoying that.
I'm quite new to the social media scene but i can be found on :
Hello everyone. My name is Monika and I'm Polish woman living in England. I am passionate about crafts and arts and always had been the memory keeper in our family. This became even more important since I became a mum in 2016 to a baby girl.

My name is Suzi McKenzie, I'm 40 something and I live in Aberdeen, Scotland with my hubby Stewart and our 3 furbabies (cats).
I can no longer work due to health problems (Fibromyalgia, Anxiety, Depression, etc) So crafting fills my time with something, fun, rewarding and productive, it also gives me the opportunity to interact with other likeminded people all over the world.
I've been blogging since 2007 and lucky enough to be on various Design Teams since 2009. I love working with digital images drawn by talented artists, so am over the moon to be part of the Oddball Art Stamps Design Team.

I'm Tina and I'm 50 years young. But in my heart I'm only 25.
I live with my dog Bailey in a small apartment in the town of Herne in western Germany.
My daughter is already 29 years and I have 2 wonderful granddaughters (6 years and 10 months). Unfortunately I do not see them very often, because they live too far away and I do not own a car. But my great granddaughter Maya inherited my creativity and tinkering just as happy as I am.
For about 4 years I've been addicted to the craft passion and spend many hours a day in my craft room. It all started with the Homeplotter Cameo. I have some of their own files created on cards, boxes and even more complex 3-D components. Since I am already pensioned due to some disease, I have too much time to be creative. Some time ago I fell in love with the Digi stamp by Lizzy Love and have already designed many cards with them. So I have come up with the idea for me to apply for the design team. And ... here I am ... I am very pleased.
Unfortunately my English is not so good and I hope I can make myself somewhat understandable. Please have patience with me :-)

Banana Pudding Parfaits
Bring on the whipped cream to adorn these sweet banana treats.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 6
Source: Everyday Food, April 2007
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 bananas, plus more for garnish
- 12 shortbread or other vanilla-flavored cookies (4 to 5 ounces total), crumbled, plus more for garnish
- Sweetened whipped cream, for garnish
Have ready a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl. In a medium saucepan, off heat, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Very gradually (a few tablespoons at a time), whisk in milk, taking care to dissolve cornstarch; whisk in egg yolks.
Whisking constantly, cook mixture over medium heat until the first large bubble forms and sputters. Reduce heat to low; whisking constantly, cook 1 minute. Remove from heat, and immediately pour through sieve into bowl. Stir butter and vanilla into hot pudding. Let pudding cool slightly; meanwhile, slice bananas.
In six 8-ounce glasses, alternately layer warm pudding with cookies and bananas, ending with pudding and covering bananas as completely as you can to prevent discoloration. Refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour, and covered with plastic wrap, up to 2 days.
To serve, top with whipped cream and more crumbled cookies and sliced bananas.

On Saturday, W(e)VOW, Waste Vegetable Oil Wagon rolled into the streets of Knoxville. The crew was very tired after two days of Asheville, NC, but we had the chance to talk to people about voter registrations, cleaning up politics, and pushing for clean energy policies in the Southeast.
The best part of the day was getting free lunch from The Tomato Head, a local restaurant in Knoxville, and being on Channel 10 News this morning!
Next stop: Southern Energy Network Summer Summit
This week, the W(e)VOW, Waste Vegetable Oil Wagon finally got on the road. We had a rocky start, and we had to send it back to the mechanic, but because of our contributions we were able to raise close to $1,000!!
Today, the bus arrived in Athens, GA where the crew set up and have continued to register people and sign Power Vote Pledges.
Here's a quick update from our Mississippi Organizer:
Athens is so beautiful! We got in at one in the morning and were greeted by the beautiful Athens crew. Big thanks to Ian Karra, Cristina DuQue, and Kelsea Norris for the warm welcome. Can't wait to hit the streets today to register young people to vote and pledge to vote with our environment! Tonight we will be celebrating our Cleanin' Up the Dirty South Tour at the Southern Energy Network Summer Bus Tour Comes to DT Athens and Terrapin Beer Company party!!!
Also, we wanna give a big shout out to everyone who made this possible! We wouldn't be on the road without you.
W(e)VOW, Waste Veggie Oil Wagon is about to hit the road today to tour the Southeast. Along the way, we will be registering people to vote, educating them about their voter rights, and taking pledges to vote for the climate.
Thanks to you, we were able to raise $650, but we're still short of our $1,000 goal. Will you donate today and make sure that the Veggie Bus doesn't get stranded?

What would you do Jake, if suddenly I wasn't here tomorrow and you were alone?.....
This question is one that my father asked me a few months back, the words hanging over his lips in my mind for far longer than they were spoken. I replied at first, a nervous smile across my face by saying "I guess I would collect the insurance money and have a ball for a week or two to compensate for a lost father," and cracked a smile as fake as the sanity of Tom Cruise. I had thought about this before, the grim statement that in possibly less than forty years the man who raised me could be gone from my life for the rest of its duration.
He seemed to detect the sorrow that befell me at the thought of losing the one man who would do anything to make sure I stayed well, who encouraged me when I had no one else and held me as a child between my mother's physiologic, manic breakdowns that landed her in the hospital or insane asylum every six months.
This man was my creator and own personal god as I grew up that I now know is only just a human being. And to think of him dead empied a small part of my soul.
He placed a hand on my shoulder and gave me a long hug that I held and enjoyed the warmth of. "I don't know what I would do," I stated bluntly and honestly. He just smiled after pulling back from the embrace: "No one ever does. You'll never be ready, I won't when grandpa Ken is gone. Just know that you'll never really be without me. You're half of me in body, and have my whole heart and all my lessons. I'm proud of you Jake" To which I started to tear up to the profoundness of the warmth his comment filled me with.
"Everything I've ever done is for you to be proud of me. Thank you dad,"
and we embraced once more, then afterwards opened up a beer and watched some Rugby....

I've been traing for the Hadrian's Wall ultra in June (69 miles) for a while now. I've done some marathons and I'm doing approx 45 miles a week. The thing is that a number of us are training together and there is a lot of info out there.
What kind of mileage should we be doing at this stage (4 months before the event)?
How should it increase? Sandwich runs/long runs.
Any tips of diet would be much appreciated
Thank you for taking the time.
Nice work Lirish! You're a gem to find on a runners forum
Well if it did?! Thanks Lirish all the same....
Not massively. I guess I'm looking for a 'golden egg' in terms of how to build endurance and how much is optimum and beyond that a waste. i.e I'm currently doing 45-50 per week and have recently did the 3 peaks (yorks) and a trail marathon and felt pretty good. The running in that regard is going well, but whats the next step? increasing the mileage? the long run every couple of weeks. We spoke to a guy at Loughbrough and he thought about 40 per week was enough and it was about quality. Where as other programs suggest up to the race mileage....
Run for a whole weekend. The English Channel is refreshing this time of the year.

Children need a sound nutritional basis upon which to grow and develop' so it's important to ensure that they eat a balanced diet. However' with busy schedules' and fast or preprocessed foods' children may not meet all of their recommended daily value of nutrients each day. A daily multi-nutrient supplement can help provide the nutrition they need to grow up strong and healthy.
The Children's Formula Life Extension Mix™ contains ingredients from Life Extension Mix™ in amounts that are suitable for children four years and older. Each easy-to-chew tablet contains ten essential minerals and vitamins' including A' D and C — important for a child's healthy development and growth.
Any supplement is only as good as a child's willingness to take it. Parents know that children can be finicky about the taste no matter how nutritious. Children's Mix has been reformulated for a more appealing berry flavor. We have also removed a select few nutrients that were interfering with a great-tasting product.
Food supplements containing a mix of vitamins' minerals' phytonutrients' amino acids' essential fatty acids' phospholipids' and probiotics have been shown to help with childhood attention and self-control problems.

Jill was on the line once more.
by The Return of Light Joker July 10, 2008
When a bro only texts a girl when he's lonely or needs attention. Usually he's inconsistent and keeps her on a rotation with other girls. Basically leading a girl on through text. No commitment.
"yeah, i'm not really looking for a relationship right now so I'm just keeping this girl on the line."

EY announces new Advisory leader for Scotland
London 15 October 2010: EY has announced the appointment of a new partner to lead the firm's Advisory practice in Scotland.
Stephen Farrell has joined the firm as partner and will lead the 65 strong Advisory team north of the border.
Farrell's appointment adds strength to the practice, which has already seen 10 new partners join the UK team over the last 12 months. This is part of the firm's ambitious growth plans to double revenues for Advisory over the next three years.
Farrell specialises in business transformation, performance improvement and assurance services and joins EY from Mouchel Plc, where he held the position of managing director of Mouchel's international consulting business
He has over 15 years' experience in the management and delivery of large complex business transformation programmes across a number of industry sectors including government, utilities, life sciences and financial services.
Speaking of his appointment, Farrell said, "What really attracted me to EY was the vision and ambition of the advisory team across the UK. The reputation of the team in the market and its depth of talent made my decision to join very easy."
Harry Gaskell, managing partner, UK & Ireland advisory services, said, "Stephen is an outstanding performer who brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience which will add great value to our clients' businesses. He will help drive our ambitious UK growth plans and cement the firm's position as the leading provider of advisory services in Scotland."

Ordered a boot cover for my estate and installed as per instructions. If you buy one of these you are required to use sticky back Velcro to secure the cover. My boot area is carpeted up the sides and I cleaned the area where the Velcro was to be stuck. After a day the liner kept detaching from the side walls because The Velcro was coming off the cleaned area. I contacted Titan as was told I had to clean using tar remover! I duly did and put new sticky Velcro on. The cover again kept coming… Read Full Review

Tried reviewing this product on Titan`s site but looks like they don`t like certain types of feedback as I can`t leave my review. Probably because IT IS NEGATIVE.

An expensive product that has to be held in place with what appears to be cheap adhesive Velcro tape. The tape will not stay in place even after cleaning to remove silicone or other contaminants from the surface on which the tape is to be stuck. The material itself is not paticularly good quality for the price that is paid for the liner. The design is poor as the controls to lower seats and side storage pockets are covered and the Velcro tape pulls away from the car body when access is required… Read Full Review

I am very pleased with my Titan boot cover including fleece mat, bumper flap and headrest cover. The fit is excellent for my Skoda Yeti. Material is of a good quality, waterproof and wipes clean easily. The fleece mat feels very comfy for the dog. As I am a horse owner too, I use my boot space a lot for transporting horse rugs, etc as well as my dog. This boot liner also comes in useful for trips to the tip. I havent a bad word to say against it and would definitely recommend to… Read Full Review

Just the job for my new car. The cover is sturdy and easy to fit. The dog bed is good quality and a neat fit so my dog who just fits the boot doesn't slide about! A towel on top of the cover stays in place and will keep the bed clean for longer. very satisfied… Read Full Review

"Titan Cover" boot liner. The fabric appears very flimsy, and you are required to cover the inside of your car with a lot of nasty self-adhesive velcro, having first removed the protective silicone polish layer on your car's nice new interior with alcohol. The ONLY mention of this on the website is hidden away in the FAQ section – in my opinion, this is a sneaky way to avoid anyone accusing them of trying to hide the fact that this is a clumsy and inelegant solution. The WORST bit… Read Full Review

I ordered a bootliner with bumper protector and vet bed liner for a BMX x3 2004-2010. It took all of the 21 days to arrive but I hoped it would be worth the wait. The fabric is strong and appears waterproof and the vet bed lining is thick and good quality. Unfortunately that's the end of the positives. The liner and vet bed do not fit my car. I have ordered for the correct model but apparently my boot is unusual as it doesn't have a little cubby hole on one side that the liner and vet bed are… Read Full Review

Ordered a Custom waterproof Boot liner and dog flap direct from Titan for out new Mercedes Estate to protect the boot. Was expensive but as these were built to fit exactly, thought it would be worth it. Unfortunately although it was made quite quickly, to make it fit round the edges the adhesive was fixing to the carpet lining. So didn't take long for this to come away especially once dogs were in boot and hairs got involved! I contacted Titan and they sent out a roll of stronger adhesive this… Read Full Review

I ordered a rear seat cover for my Volvo S80. The delivery and packing was speedy and professional. Sadly the covers were far too large a good 6" too wide. I contacted Titan who agreed and uplifted and after 10 days the replacement arrived. These covers were again the wrong size, too large now +3" on the seat and too small on the back. My impression is that these are made to guestimate dimensions or are made to suit a range of vehicles. I expected a decent fit very disappointed, particularly as… Read Full Review

Ordered a cover for my ford focus with the additional number protector flap.

Ordered a boot liner for Volvo XC60, through an agent (TowEquipe) it arrived quicker than expected but I was disapointed with the fit. The liner was slightly undersized so had a tendency to pull the Velchro fixings from the sides. Contacted TowEquipe who were pretty much useless (slow replies and no action!) eventually I was told that the templates were digital and that nothing could be done!! However I contacted Titan Covers direct and after a short discussion with 'Paul' they agreed to… Read Full Review

Mercedes boot liner ordered after requesting information about fittings. No mention that adhesive velcro had to be applied to the car for fitting. Bumper flap does not fully protect the whole length of the bumper. Very expensive for what it is. Placed order at same time as car and the car was manufactured and shipped from Germany and delivered and I still had a three week wait for the boot liner. No information from TITAN. I had to contact them for deliver date. I reviewed the two items on… Read Full Review

A Shanghai shares sell-off today sent London mining stocks south. The Chinese exchange was down by more than 5% as worries about lending markets were swelled by comments from the People's Bank of China that caused further alarm.
The bank said overnight that liquidity is at a "reasonable level" but commercial banks must improve risk and liquidity procedures. With fears on China growing, resources stocks slumped in Europe as investors moved their money to safer options.
The situation was further exacerbated by a downgrade from Goldman Sachs. It slashed growth forecasts for China for 2013 and 2014, because of the "tightening of financial conditions", and now expects GDP growth to be at 7.5% in the second quarter of 2013. Goldman added: "The recent tightening of the interbank market has sent a strong policy signal that the strong credit growth earlier in the year will likely not continue."
Gold miner Vedanta Resources, 52p worse off at 1045p, bore the brunt of the slump. It suffered a double whammy of bad news as analysts downgraded gold prices too. Russian steel producer Evraz lost 5.6p to 103.7p and Russian gold miner Polymetal International suffered a 16p tumble to 509.5p as both were demoted from the FTSE 100 index.
Ishaq Siddiqi, market strategist at spread better ETX, said: "Chinese equity markets witnessed their biggest losses in four years in overnight trade. Resource shares are responding to the worrying signs out of China, which weigh on commodity prices too, adding further pressure on the sector." The overall London market was hit by the Asian financial fears, and the FTSE 100 declined 37.22 points to 6078.95 — taking it back to January levels — after recording five consecutive weeks of decline.
Defensive companies were in favour as punters shunned the riskier commodity stocks and water company United Utilities recovered 9p to 658p, while Severn Trent trickled up 18p to 1632p.
Drinks giant Diageo — owner of whisky brand Johnnie Walker, which is advertised by actress Christina Hendricks — was downgraded by analysts at Liberum Capital. They demoted the Smirnoff-to-Guinness owner to hold as they "do not expect evidence of… improvement until April next year". The shares downed a 14.5p loss to 1829p.
Goldman Sachs' metal experts cut their forecast for the gold price to $1300, and falls for gold-focused miners followed. Egyptian gold miner Centamin lost 4.24p to 31.37p.
Entrepreneur Algy Cluff's AIM-listed Cluff Natural Resources has won an underground coal gasification licence in the Firth of Forth, near Kincardine in Scotland. Its shares raced up 0.12p to 5.12p.

Butch from IN asks:
With all the huge hard drives, multi-core processors and RAM options out there, what would be the best route to take for a new computer for those on a budget?
The first thing that you need to decide on a new computer, whether you're on a budget or not, is exactly what you want to do with your new computer. When you're armed with this information, a salesman won't be able to sell you more computer than you need simply to pocket a larger commission.
Many people start to look for a computer by looking for a certain name brand. My advice would be to only worry about name brand if there is a particular brand of computer that you have had good luck with in the past. For instance, until my current computer (which I built), I've always stuck with HP. Why? Because my first computer was an HP and I've always had exceptionally good luck with them – although my laptop, a ten year old Dell, is doing just fine. One brand for budget-minded users, E-machine, used to be a bad brand. They were, however, purchased by Gateway a few years back and have been a fine budget machine since then.
You also need to decide if you want a desktop or a laptop. If you need portability, get a laptop. Be prepared, though, to pay more money for less machine if you do, and for the fact that laptops are generally harder and more expensive to upgrade than desktops. Otherwise, stick with a desktop.
The key features to look for in a new computer, as you mentioned, are hard drive size, processor and RAM. Another thing to look for, though, especially if you want to game, is video card.
Hard drive:
When I sold computers for a living and people would ask me the difference between hard drive and RAM, I would explain it like this: A hard drive is where you store all of your stuff. It's kind of like the closet of your computer.
Over the last several years, hard drives have gotten much, much larger and much less expensive, so it's really not going to kill you financially to get a hard drive of 500 gigabytes or even a terabyte, which is a huge amount storage space. The larger the drive, the more music, photos, games, etc. you can store. One thing to bear in mind, however, is that the larger the drive is and the fuller it gets, the longer it can take to retrieve your information, including the time that it takes your computer to access your operating system. For this reason, another alternative is to get a computer with a small hard drive that basically just holds your operating system and your programs, and an external hard drive to store all of your stuff. My desktop, for instance, has an eighty gig internal drive, and I use a five hundred gig external hard drive to store my documents. This gives you the added advantage, if you use more than one computer, to move your documents easily between the two.
Do yourself a favor and don't skimp on the processor. Having said that, make sure that you get one that can handle the new programs that are coming out. As processors get more powerful, software manufacturers are writing programs to take advantage of that power. The better your processor is, the longer it will take for your computer to become obsolete. Unless you are doing HD video editing or playing the latest iteration of World of Warcraft, any of the Intel Core series should be fine, but if you want to future-proof your machine and can afford it, it certainly wouldn't hurt to get something with the i7.
The amount of RAM that you have determines the amount of information that you can have open on your desktop at one time without lag. Most pre-built computers these days are coming with a significant amount of RAM. Again, with the prices on RAM dropping significantly over the last several years, RAM doesn't increase the computer's price by any large amount. Four gigs of RAM seems to be the standard for budget machines right now, although if you're gaming or doing HD video editing, you may want more. The more that you have, the faster these applications will run.
Another thing to bear in mind for future upgrading is what type of RAM you get. The Intel Core series of processors runs DDR2 ram, which increases in multiples of two (two, four, six and eight gigs), while the i7 runs DDR3, which increases in multiples of three.
Video card:
The stock video card included with most pre-built PC's should be plenty to run basic games, as well as features like Windows Aero. Watching or editing HD video or playing graphics-intensive games may require a better video card, though. Upgrading your video card can run you into the hundreds or even thousands of dollars, though, I'd suggest asking a friend who does similar things with his PC that you'd like to do what video card he's running. Friends will always offer better advice than salesman.
I hope that this answers your question.

Blues dismiss South Australia
Page Tools
Fast bowler Nathan Bracken took 7-4 as NSW dismissed South Australia for 29 before lunch on the first day of the Pura Cup match at the SCG.
After SA captain Graham Manou won the toss under overcast skies, Bracken ripped through the visitors, who were all out after just 80 minutes and 14.4 overs.
Five of the Redbacks made ducks - Tom Plant, Mark Cosgrove, Callum Ferguson, Mark Cleary and Shaun Tait.
SA set a record for the most ducks in an innings (six) in the corresponding game last year.
The Redbacks were 9-24 but scrambled past the lowest ever Sheffield Shield/Pura Cup score of 27, set by SA against NSW at the SCG in 1955/56.
Bracken's new-ball partner Matthew Nicholson chipped in with 1-13 from five overs and Stuart Clark, who took 5-10 last week against Victoria, came on late to have 2-10 from his 2.4 overs.
None of the Redbacks batsmen reached double figures, with No.4 Nathan Adcock the highest scorer with eight.
