Hi Ted,
I think fuel cell technology is very promising, but I have to demur here because I do not know enough about the development pipeline to make any meaningful observations.
Maybe you or someone else in the group could help enlighten me?

Well, there's a ton of things you could practice. One, if you haven't is, drawing and shooting from the hip. Elbow tucked in to side below ribs, upper arm and forearm at rt angles to each other. This for distances of about a yard or so, when someone is on top of you nearly and you have no time to even point-shoot. You don't look at the gun but at the target/BG. Practice the draw and hand and arm position a lot with unloaded gun. If your range allows you to shoot like that - mine does for certain trusted individuals - then work with someone with live rounds so you get a feel of being on target just raising the gun up from your side. Don't add the draw yet. Then, when you're accurate enough, real slow, try the draw with live. I'd work with someone though, I did. Don't think it's a good one to do live on your own trying to teach yourself.
Anyway, that's one - and a needed one - since often, if something goes down, it will be very close to us.

In the midst of Prohibition, it must have seemed a cruel irony to American moviegoers that the first line Greta Garbo spoke on screen was a cocktail order: "Gimme a whisky, ginger ale on the side. And don't be stingy, baby."
The film was 1930's Anna Christie, trumpeted with the MGM slogan "Garbo talks!" At that point, the United States was 10 whacked-out years into its "noble experiment" to banish alcohol, a grand failure that would be serenaded off-stage with a chorus of popping corks in 1933.
To keen students of cocktail fashion, Garbo's beverage choice was very much a Prohibition artifact. Ginger ale? For more than a century before 1920, straight rye had been the working stiff's bracer. With the passage of the 18th Amendment, an odd thing happened. Sales of the soft drink doubled, testifying to its role as antidote for dubious hooch that was increasingly being cut with back-alley grain alcohol. The rye and ginger, sometimes served as a shot-and-chaser combination, was born.
If Garbo's drink resonated with the times, it was one small emblem of a sea change in tastes and social customs that was capsizing Victorian and Puritan values. Legal formalities be damned, America was shimmying to the Jazz Age in the 1920s. Radios crackled with big-band broadcasts. Affordable cars rolled off the line in Detroit. The stock market roared. A nation was in party mode and the cocktail, evolving to suit the zeitgeist, was the era's totem.
Perhaps most significantly, Western women, in the liberated garb of bare-armed flapper dresses and cloche hats, finally had a prominent stool at the bar. Speakeasies bobbed up like ice cubes in a freshly filled Collins glass, and absent the indignity of the legal saloon's ladies' entrance segregation, these new hideaway bootleg emporiums threw open their doors to gender equality. Suddenly, it was copacetic to carouse next to the boys. (Besides, girls made the dancing more fun.)
Ginger ale was not the only hooch helper. Lemon and lime juice, egg whites and club soda – fundamentals of the pre-Prohibition golden age – morphed from luxury to necessity. Cream, honey and, most prominently, orange juice stepped into the breach as well. "They started making juicier, sweeter cocktails because the quality of the spirits in most places was going down," says Oliver Stern, manager of the Toronto Temperance Society, a private club specializing in pre- Prohibition classics.
Nothing was likely to be of shadier provenance than the Jazz Age's defining spirit, gin (or, more commonly, bathtub gin). Recipe: Mix two parts grain alcohol to three parts water with a splash of juniper-berry juice; age for about as long as it takes to whisk the pail from the loo to the party room.
No wonder the Bronx, a staple of such New York speakeasies as Jack and Charlie's, which morphed into the famed 21 Club after Repeal Day, was so popular. For a Bronx – it's actually quite good – mix two parts gin to one part each sweet and dry vermouth on ice, add the juice of half an orange and strain into a martini glass. More cloying was the Mary Pickford, named after the Canadian-born silent-film icon, a concoction of white rum, pineapple juice and grenadine syrup. Shame on Mary.
Even in the make-do milieu of Prohibition, many classics survived more or less unscathed. Best of all, they now had literary mascots. William Faulkner gulped bourbon-based mint juleps. Dorothy Parker downed whisky sours. F. Scott Fitzgerald, the man who coined the term Jazz Age, sipped copiously on gin rickeys while crafting The Great Gatsby, the era's defining masterpiece, about a mysterious bootlegger who throws lavish parties. Of course, everybody who could still slurped the twin pillars, the Manhattan and the martini, tainted whisky and gin notwithstanding.
All that underworld mystique and glamour are, praise be, in vogue again, thanks in part to the popular arts. TV's Boardwalk Empire, Ken Burns's 2011 documentary series Prohibition, Woody Allen's recent Midnight in Paris and the forthcoming remake of The Great Gatsby, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, have been stirring up a lively cocktail of Roaring Twenties nostalgia.
Closer to the street, establishments such as The Harbord Room and Temperance Society in Toronto and the Prohibition Lounge in Vancouver's Rosewood Hotel Georgia are helping resurrect the glam of early-20th-century imbibing. So are PDT and Employees Only in New York, both with drinks books, the latter's evocatively titled Speakeasy.
At Employees Only, which opened on Dec. 5, 2004, Repeal Day's anniversary, the owners throw an annual Repeal blowout, free to customers who come dressed in twenties garb. The pièce de résistance: a metre-long chocolate cake shaped like a coffin, the word "Prohibition" inscribed in white icing.
Dushan Zaric, one of the establishment's partners, says Speakeasy's recipes seek to nudge the past into the present. That's why the book, co-authored with Jason Kosmas, includes vodka, ubiquitous now but not in the Jazz Age. His West Side Fizz, for example, is a Meyer-lemon-vodka riff on the old South Side Fizz, which combined gin, lemon juice, sugar, mint and club soda.
"Today we are living another golden cocktail age," Zaric says. "If we only jazz, we will stay one-sided. We have to learn how to rock as well."Report Typo/Error

By Cary White Login or Register to download the PDF version of this article. (868.2 kB) My small plumbing and heating company recently replaced a client's inefficient 25-year-old combination wood-and-oil boiler with an efficient new Buderus oil boiler. Oil was the obvious choice of fuel. The homeowners no longer wanted to deal with firewood, and natural gas isn't available in the area of Vermont where they live. And propane — though available — is ruinously expensive. But we had one important choice to make: Did it make sense to go for broke and put in an ultra-high-efficiency condensing boiler, or should we opt for a slightly less efficient noncondensing version?Going for maximum efficiency offered one substantial carrot: There's a 30 percent tax credit for systems with an AFUE rating of 90 percent or more. (The AFUE — or annual fuel utilization efficiency — of a given fuel-burning appliance represents the average amount of useful heat delivered relative to the amount of fuel used over the course of a...

David Moyes is ready to leave Everton at the end of the season – and is thinking about taking a break until the right job comes up, writes the Sunday People.
Moyes' 11th anniversary celebrations in charge at Goodison last week were sealed with a cracking 2-0 victory over Manchester City yesterday, but sources close to the Scot reveal that he is in the mood to call an end to his Toffees career.
And Moyes is even willing to wait in the wings for an interesting opportunity to come his way – in a style similar to Pep Guardiola who took a sabbatical when he left Barcelona.
Moyes would love a crack at a top post in the Premier League and hopes to be in the frame if Chelsea, Manchester City or Arsenal decide to look for a younger, proven manager this summer.
However, Moyes may have to wait for his chance, but he has enough bottle – and cash – to step away from the managerial melee until the time is right.
Moyes has taken Everton close to the top four this season but despite yesterday's result the awful home defeat by Wigan and other results have put a sour note on their campaign.
However, sources close to Moyes claim recent form has nothing to do with his decision.
Everton chiefs are aware that Moyes is swaying towards this change but owner Bill Kenwright is giving him time to make a definitive decision.
Kenwright needs to know who his boss will be next season and Moyes will have to give his answer once and for all soon – or Everton could miss out on other candidates.

What are the symptoms of cryptosporidiosis?
The most common symptom of cryptosporidiosis is watery diarrhea. Other symptoms include:
Some people with Crypto will have no symptoms at all. While the small intestine is the site most commonly affected, Crypto infections could possibly affect other areas of the digestive tract or the respiratory tract.
How long after infection do symptoms appear?
Symptoms of cryptosporidiosis generally begin 2 to 10 days (average 7 days) after becoming infected with the parasite.
How long will symptoms last?
In persons with healthy immune systems, symptoms usually last about 1 to 2 weeks. The symptoms may go in cycles in which you may seem to get better for a few days, then feel worse again before the illness ends.
Who is most at risk for cryptosporidiosis?
People who are most likely to become infected with Cryptosporidium include:
- Children who attend day care centers, including diaper-aged children
- Child care workers
- Parents of infected children
- People who take care of other people with cryptosporidiosis
- International travelers
- Backpackers, hikers, and campers who drink unfiltered, untreated water
- People who drink from untreated shallow, unprotected wells
- People, including swimmers, who swallow water from contaminated sources
- People who handle infected cattle
Contaminated water may include water that has not been boiled or filtered, as well as contaminated recreational water sources (e.g., swimming pools, lakes, rivers, ponds, and streams). Several community-wide outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis have been linked to drinking municipal water or recreational water contaminated with Cryptosporidium.

TNRTB Archive - Retained for reference information
In a search for extremely distant galaxies astronomers found new evidence for the big bang creation model. Their survey demonstrated that for the most distantly observed galaxies in the universe, corresponding to when the universe was only about 7 percent of its present age, the galaxies are much smaller and jammed more tightly together. These properties confirm the big bang prediction that as the universe expands from the creation event, galaxies would grow larger through mergers and would move progressively farther apart. Since the Bible described (in scientific terminology, "predicted") in considerable detail thousands of years ago that the universe possesses fundamental big bang features, scientific confirmations of such big bang features provide powerful evidence for the Christian faith.

DCBS services are administered through our network of nine service regions and offices in each of Kentucky's 120 counties. In addition, DCBS uses a network of contract officials to deliver services, such as child care. The provision of services is enhanced through a close relationship and coordination with local community partners.
Adria Johnson's strong desire to be of public service, coupled with her proven ability to lead, manage, motivate and coordinate efforts toward reform serve her well in her appointed position of commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Community Based Services (DCBS). Johnson is a dedicated, well-respected and versatile professional with more than 21 years of hands-on experience in both the public and private sectors. Prior to this appointment, Johnson served as deputy commissioner of DCBS for almost three years, where she was instrumental in leading several efforts aimed at bringing about needed reform to improve the lives of some of the commonwealth's most vulnerable citizens.
Prior to joining Kentucky state government, Johnson held key roles in Louisville Metro Government ranging from capital planning analyst in the Office of Management and Budget to acting director of the Department of Community Service and Revitalization. Johnson's strong fiscal experience was gained in various roles held in the private sector at Humana, LG&E and Brown and Williamson Tobacco Corporation.
Johnson received a bachelor of science degree from Ball State University and completed several post-graduate courses from the University of Louisville. She also is a published author, having published a book of poetry, A Peek at My Soul, in 2004.
The department provides family support; child care; child and adult protection; eligibility determinations for Medicaid and food benefits;and administration of an energy cost-assistance program.
The department administers the state foster care and adoption systems and recruits and trains parents to care for the state's children who are waiting for a permanent home.
With offices in every county, DCBS provides services and programs to enhance the self-sufficiency of families; improve safety and permanency for children and vulnerable adults; and, engage families and community partners in a collaborative decision-making process.
DCBS was formed within the Cabinet for Families and Children in 1998 to give local offices more decision-making authority and the ability to collaborate more effectively with other community service providers. The Cabinet for Families and Children and the Cabinet for Health Services were consolidated in 2004 by Gov. Ernie Fletcher.
The mission of the Department for Community Based Services is to build an effective and efficient system of care with Kentucky's citizens and communities to:
A human services system of care that operates with integrity and loyalty to a code of ethics requires courage to take responsibility for providing the highest quality of service to the vulnerable.
The Department for Community Based Services is an innovative, solutions-focused learning organization built on a foundation of transparency in action and with accountability for results. Both within the organization and among our partners, we thrive on a culture of respect for diversity of opinion that is nurtured through open communication.
Highly performing and committed, we are unified in our goal of excellence in achieving outcomes for those we serve with the level of quality we would demand for our own families.

It worked out very well -
I used syntra and pvc pipe (2 " and 3") with propeller nose cones.
Finding all the other stuff was easy - and the detail great from the plans.
Without these plans - it would have been very hard to put this together - thanks Lisa Fett for taking the time and putting these together...

So one of the key ways I've been specifically affected by the Nashville flood involves running...
Many of the places I run were underwater for a few days. The local greenway where I do most of my afternoon runs is kind of swampy after a normal rain, so I knew it was probably a total mess. One of the main greenway systems in east Nashville ended up having a giant lake on top of it at one point. Even Percy Warner Park had a ton of tree damage and land washed away from what I've been toold.
The waters have since receded, but the after affects are still hanging around.
I went to my local greenway for the first time since the flood today. I only ran out about 2 miles or so (I can't miss LOST tonight, so I had to do a quick run), but it was obvious that almost all of it had been under water at some point. Everything was covered in brown from all the mud. Trees had fallen and then ended up hundreds of yards away from where they had been planted because there was so much water that they were moved. The ground underneath one of the little underpasses the path goes under was almost completely washed away.
And the smell.... I really thought I was going to have to stop and throw up several times. And this is two weeks after the flood. It really puts things in perspective in a way... if it smells that bad where my greenway flooded, what does it smell like in the neighborhoods/homes/businesses that flooded?
In time, things will return to mostly normal. I'm sure there will be things that will never be exactly the same, but we are already bouncing back. I can only imagine how things will be a year from now. I have a feeling we'll look back and remember this time, but we'll also look around us and see that for the most part, you can't tell there was a flood. I hope so anyways.
When I watched the country music telethon on tv Sunday night, I loved how they kept saying that Nashville is open for business. It's been 2 weeks, and we've already got so many places affected by the flood back up and running.

Artisan-Crafted LED Bulbs Armed with One-Of-A-Kind Aesthetics
The Biei collection of lighting solutions features designs that resemble things like icicles and molten lava
Japanese LED lighting shopping site Only 1 unveiled a collection of light bulbs that have unique shapes and designs reminiscent of different elements like molten lava, grapes, or icicles.
The collection, called Biei, is a series of light bulbs carefully hand-crafted by artisans. The collection includes bulbs that resemble molten lava, a bunch of grapes, icicles, dragon fruit, and more.
The Molten Lava LED light bulb by Toshiyuki Yasuda basically looks like a glob of glass that hardened on a flat surface. When lit up, the inspiration for the design becomes more obvious as the glowing bulb resembles hot molten lava pouring out of the socket. When lit up, it also reveals pockets of bubbles that add a certain quality to the light. The Molten Lava bulb works best in a space when laid over a flat surface to emphasize its unique design.
The Grape LED bulb looks exactly like a bunch of small grapes. The outer part has small round shapes attached to the glass. The Grape light bulb is best suited as a light suspended over the intended space, be it on a counter top or over the porch.
The Icicle LED light bulb by Hitoshi Kamiura is long and slender like its namesake. This particular design was hand blown without a mold and left to be shaped with the help of gravity itself. The Biei collection also includes variations of the Icicle design, like the "crack-filled" icicle and the "thorn-filled cracks" icicle. The crack-filled Icicle light bulb features small cracks on the glass and comes in three different lengths. The thorn-filled Icicle light bulb features cracks along with small thorn-like protrusions on the exterior.
The Dragon Fruit light bulb by Hisao Iida is formed like a dragon fruit, a tropical fruit with an unusual shape and a typically leafy skin. The Dragon Fruit light bulb design mimics this unusual shape and has pointy protrusions on the outside to resemble the leafy skin.
The Biei collection also includes a light bulb that resembles a frozen drop of water and a light bulb with a long cylindrical shape.
The various shapes and features of the light bulb designs in the collection provides unique options to those who want something new and different to light up their space.

Unmarried at 24 - and with no prospects in sight - Anju is a great source of worry to her family. Despite the best efforts of relatives, fortune-tellers, and matchmakers to arrange a marriage, she can't seem to find a husband - or at least one she's willing to marry.

Albert Riera fits the stereotype of a continental winger.
He can be a bit frustrating, flits in and out of games and yet when he comes good then he is a class act.
Spanish winger Riera has come into his own in recent weeks, hugging the left touchline.
Just study how many times Fernando Torres drifts in from the left and then goes for goal with his right foot. That is because Riera has been stretching the opposition - just look how effective that was against Aston Villa's makeshift fullback Nigel Reo-Coker. Torres and Steven Gerrard are the key men. But Riera has made a big difference as he Alvaro Arbeloa, Martin Skrtel and Fabio Aurelio have shown that the whole team can make a difference..

By Dianne Cornish, REVIEW STAFF

Since last July, breast cancer survivor Vicky Harrison of Waterdown has been working with a volunteer committee of area residents to organize a gala fundraiser that will help in the fight against the disease. Her work, along with that of about 10 others on the committee, including committee chair Sandra Krueger, also of Waterdown, will culminate on Valentine's Day (Feb. 14) with the second annual Shooting for the Stars Gala, an evening of dining, dancing and live entertainment at the Burlington Convention Centre.

The event, which will raise money for a new ultrasound machine for the CIBC Breast Assessment Centre (BAC) at the Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre in Hamilton, will also include a silent and live auction, featuring items donated by local individuals and businesses. There have already been donations of NHL hockey tickets, jewellery, designer clothing and fashion accessories, said Harrison, while noting that organizers are encouraging other donors and corporate sponsors to step up in support of the fundraiser.

Providing a new ultrasound machine for the BAC will help streamline breast cancer screening and diagnosis for the women of Hamilton, Brantford, Burlington and beyond, Harrison said. "It will speed up the wait process for anyone at high risk," she explained, adding that it will also reduce the stress and anxiety experienced by women as they wait for test results and treatment.

The self-employed businesswoman and owner of Vicky Harrison Designs, which specializes in custom-made jewellery, invites local residents wanting to donate an item to the auctions to contact her at 289-431-6026 so that she can arrange a pickup of their donation. The gala event is "a nice way to help others while also having a romantic evening along with dinner and a dance," she said.

Noting that the big event is less than three weeks away, Krueger, owner of Vogue Models & Talent in Burlington, said committee members are "very excited" about seeing it roll out and eager to promote the fundraising evening.

Festivities will start at 6 p.m., with tickets available on the event's website at www.shootingforthestarsgala.com or by phoning 905-308-5875. For $175, tickets entitle the bearer to complimentary cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, a four-course gourmet dinner including roast beef tenderloin, live entertainment by Grammy and three-time Juno Award winner Liberty Silver, the silent and live auction, an open bar, plus the chance to support a worthy cause.

Among those attending will be honourary guests, Charles and Margaret Juravinski of Greensville, faithful supporters of the hospital and the BAC.

Founded last year by Dawn Blaney, a breast cancer survivor from Burlington, the gala proved to be a good vehicle for raising much needed funds for the BAC. Organizers hope to build on the success of the inaugural event at this year's Valentine's Day extravaganza.

Chlorine, Chloramine and Chlorination By-products in Drinking Water
Chlorination, or the process of adding chlorine to water as a way of water purification, is the most widely accepted water disinfection process. This is largely due to chlorine's high cost-effectivity when used in preventing outbreaks of the world's most common waterborne diseases.
However, ever since scientists discovered possibly carcinogenic drinking water contaminants in the form of chlorination by-products, the challenge of purifying water for human consumption has become more difficult. Water suppliers are now forced to adopt more innovative methods of water purification to ensure the safety of their consumers.
Chlorine and its water disinfection capabilitiesCompared to other chemical-based water disinfectants like bromine, iodine, chlorine dioxide, and chloramine, chlorine requires the least amount of concentration and contact time in order to inactivate a specified percentage of microorganisms. Some of these organisms, such as E. coli, Polio virus 1, Rotavirus, Norovirus are capable of inflicting severe damage on the human body and can cause widespread contamination.
The rotavirus and noravirus, for instance, are the leading carriers of gastroenteritis. More than 90% of epidemic-grade non-bacterial outbreaks of gastroenteritis worldwide are caused by these two viruses. Why do governments work hard to control these viruses? Because gastroenteritis usually result in diarrhea, which is responsible for up to 2.2 million deaths on the planet every year. It is also the 2nd leading cause of death in children under 5 years of age.
Polio virus 1, on the other hand, is the most common of the three types of viruses that cause polio, a potentially crippling disease that can lead to paralysis and even death.
Chlorine's ability to destroy these microorganisms more effectively as well as its lower installation and maintenance costs compared to other disinfectants has made it the most favored disinfectant for public water systems.
But despite its exemplary disinfection qualities, chlorination also comes with some serious drawbacks. The most alarming of which is its notoriety for producing harmful chlorination by-products.
Chlorination by-products - why your purified water may not yet be safe to drink
When chlorine is added to water, the purpose is to kill disease-causing microorganisms. However, chlorine may also react with certain substances that may also be present in the water. Sad to say, the resulting chlorination by-products also have harmful effects on the human body. The affected areas are mostly the kidney, liver, heart, and the central nervous system. Some of these by-products can cause reproductive and developmental health risks or even cancer.
The US government is most concerned with two groups of these by-products and has enforced rules to regulate the concentration of these chemicals in drinking water. These groups are the trihalomethanes (THM) and haloacetic acids (HAA5). To mitigate risks associated with these byproducts, annual average concentration limits are specified in the EPA (US Environmental Protectino Agency) Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule (Stage 2 DBP rule).
The regulated chemicals that belong to the group of trihalomethanes are collectively known as total trihalomethanes (TTHM), and are composed of chloroform, bromodichloromethane, dibromochloromethane, and bromoform. The annual average limit set by the EPA for TTHM is 80 parts per billion (ppb).
On the other hand, the five haloacetic acids (HAA5), which are namely, monochloroacetic acid, dichloroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid, monobromoacetic acid, and dibromoacetic acid, are given an annual average limit of 60 ppm.
For as long as chlorine and the organic or inorganic matter that react with it are present in water, the byproducts will form. Hence, to bring down the health risks caused by these chlorination by-products, you should, at some point in your water purification system, filter out chlorine, the reactive organic and inorganic matter, or the by-products themselves.
Can chloramine replace chlorine?
Chloramine is one of those water disinfectants which are now being used as an alternative to chlorine. One reason for this is that chloramine is less reactive compared to chlorine and hence produces much fewer by-products. Another reason is that it is more stable and hence can last much longer in the water. As a result, it is more effective in preventing bacterial regrowth, which can happen in large water distribution systems.
However, because it is generally a weaker disinfectant compared to chlorine, chloramine is mostly used only as a secondary disinfectant. That is, a water system can have one disinfectant, say UV, to provide the initial disinfection in the treatment facility, and then chloramine is thrown in to provide continuous protection in the distribution system.
Contrary to popular belief, chloramine still raises some significant health risks. Too much chloramine can cause irritation in the eyes and nose. It can also result in stomach discomfort and anemia. And although the concentrations are much lower than those formed by chlorine reactions, chloramines do form by-products and most of these are not yet well studied.

Post by Jessica R.
Today the day dawned bright and clear, not a trace of a rain cloud in the sky. A quick glance at the forecast in the paper and I cheerfully told the girls that they could wear dresses today.
I thought that for once I'd be able to dress them quickly without the usual "No I won't wear that!" skirmish.
I was wrong.
Finding a dress for the little one was easy, finding one for the older one was a whole other issue. Every dress that she could wear comfortably last summer fell way above her knees today. To be somewhat decent she would have had to wear leggings or shorts under the dress, completely defeating the purpose.
As each rejected dress came to land in her younger sister's laundry hamper her face fell further and further. She loved those dresses. They were the first she helped me pick out and she treasured each and every one.
I found a pair of shorts that fit and unearthed a cute t-shirt that matched while she looked on longingly at her little sister twirling around in one of her "new" dresses.
It's supposed to rain for the next three days, giving me a few days to fulfill the hasty promise that returned a sparkle to her eyes and a smile to her face: lots of pretty new dresses so she can twirl around, too.

When the army turned out to fight the fire at St Andrew's Hospital, Devon Road, Bow, East London, firemen left the picket line at Poplar fire station to help.
Acrid smoke from the paper store in the basement filled the wards on three floors and most of the 110 patients had been removed before five Green Goddesses - the Civil Defence appliances taken out of mothballs - manned by 30 soldiers of the Royal Artillery Regiment arrived.
Police evacuated the remainder of the patients but the army fighters found that without breathing apparatus they could not enter the thick smoke. Then, according to an army spokesman: "Some firemen turned up with breathing appliances and went in."
On of the pickets said: "I am, after all, human. We cannot let people die."
A senior fire officer from the London brigade's headquarters said that if it had not been for the presence of a number of striking firemen with breathing apparatus "we' have had a very, very nasty incident which would have got out of control."
Lieutenant Wills said that the fire fighting had been a cooperative effort between the police, the army and individual fire officers. The five Green Goddesses came from Iford and from a depot in City Road.
The body of an 86-year-old pensioner, Mr Adam McAulay, was found last night in his cottage in the village of Bridge of Weir, near Glasgow, after neighbours had used a garden hose to put out a fire in the house.
A spokesman for Strathclyde region said that Mr McAulay's death was not connected with the strike. "There was only ten minutes between the discovery of the fire by neighbours and them putting it out."
Meanwhile there will be an emergency debate on the strike in the House of Commons today. It was called for by the independent Scottish Labour MP Jim Sillars, a former fireman, who was supported by most Labour and Tory MPs.
Among the few big fires reported by last night, one was in a scrapyard at Brownhills, Staffordshire, where eight elderly Green Goddess fire appliances manned by soldiers turned out, another was in a paper factory at East Kilbride, near Glasgow.
But a nation-wide survey by the Home Office suggested that, apart from hoax calls - of which there were many - there seemed to have been fewer fire alarms than usual. In London, where the fire brigade normally handles several hundred calls a day, the number was well down, so that the army's Green Goddesses were not called out to a single fire until after midday. A brigade spokesman said that people were being more careful.
The Fire Brigade Union's assistant general secretary, Mr Dick Foggie, claimed that "for all practical purposes, the strike is solid." There were many reports of individuals and small groups of firemen resigning from the FBU and prepared to take appliances through the picket lines. Large numbers of part-time firemen - who belong to a different union not directly involved in the strike - were also available in rural areas. But only in a few parts of the country did the full-time day shift firemen stay at their post.
IN Hampshire, fire brigade headquarters reported that seven of the country's 11 fulltime stations were working normally, although a spokesman said that the position could change overnight as the shifts changes. At Oldham a 400-year-old farmhouse was saved when full-timers from Basingstoke helped to put out a blazing barn.

CORRECTED: After two-year marathon, Obama heads back to gym
Corrects spelling of Obama's daughter's name to Sasha from Sashsa in paragraph 5.
By Deborah Charles
CHICAGO (Reuters) - What do you do after a two-year long-shot presidential run finally ends in victory?
For Barack Obama the answer is: you head for the gym.
Obama, who hit the gym regularly on the campaign trail, could have been forgiven for skipping his regular exercise routine on Wednesday, less than 12 hours after winning a hard-fought U.S. presidential battle against Republican John McCain.
Despite getting little sleep after returning home at nearly 2 a.m. after a historical and emotional night in Chicago's Grant Park, the well-disciplined Obama opted to head to the gym around mid-morning.
But Obama first spent a little quality time at home, enjoying something he said he missed most while out on the campaign trail: breakfast with his wife, Michelle, and daughters Malia and Sasha.
Wearing a dark baseball cap and sunglasses, Obama then sped away in his motorcade for a few blocks to the gym near his house where the first-term senator from Illinois often retreated for exercise and time away from the media during the 21-month presidential campaign.
The new president-elect, who played his traditional election-day game of basketball on Tuesday with some friends and staff members before the polls closed, stayed inside the gym for about an hour. Continued...

RMS Rangitane
Any suggestions on how I can find the two voyage no's for the Rangitane(1) prior to her loss in November 1940. I want to research the passenger lists as I am not sure on which trip I arrived in N.Z. (at age 3). My father was a Chief ERA in HMS Achilles at that time and the ship was joining the RNZN squadron. My mother and I were being repatriated to N.Z. but I am not sure whether passage was arranged by the RN or not.
I would appreciate any assistance offered.

Jim,there is a fair amount of data on the net re the first Rangitane and I am sure that there are passenger lists showing who was on board at the time of capture. As I recall someone had written an extensive article on the subject. I will scan through my files and give you some leads if I can.
My first ship was the new Rangitane and an old, now deceased, friend Frank Jack was an ERA on the Achilles at the battle of the River Plate,
The information that I have, comes from the book 'Ordeal By Sea' published by the NZSC in 1949. They identify the Rangitane as being on her thirty-first voyage when she was sunk, homeward bound from Auckland, on the 27th November 1940.
Regards John
Hi Bob & John,
Thanks for the info guys. I now have a start point with Voyages 29 & 30 or even 31 but I doubt that it was the outward leg of 31 that we travelled on as it was November 1940 that she was lost and I was always told that it was 1939 that we came home.
Bob,like your mate, Frank Jack, my father was on Achilles at the River Plate so no doubt they knew each other. At the time Achilles returned to NZ my mother and I were living with her parents in New Plymouth and the ship berthed there as one stop of her victory tour. The officers and crew paraded at the New Plymouth Boys Highschool where our next door neighbour's son was a student. The boys lined the march route and as my dad passed Brian he called out to him..."Hullo Brian I'll see you at home later"
Brian was 11 years older than me and was like an older brother and we remained friends until he passed away two years ago. One of the last things he said to me was "I have never forgotten the day your father made me the king of N.P. Boys High. I was the only one in school who knew an Achilles man."
A long time back now.

What a great site for memories. I joined RANGITANE in 1954 straight from National Sea Training School at Gravesend, still in uniform, and had been told to report to the 2nd Steward, a Mr Dick Binding. I found him at the top of the gangway just inside the gunport door, and immediately wished I could go home ! Unfortunately the national rail strike was in progress so i was 'lumbered' with him and 15 minutes later I was on my hands and knees scrubbing out a passenger lift ! That first trip was an education that continued and on my 2nd trip I was assigned to look after the Chief Engineer, a Mr MacDougall, and found him to be one of the nicest men I would ever meet. The ship's Commander was Captain R.G.Rees, and I had my 1st Christmas at sea that year, 1955. On the return from NZ that trip we had serious problems with a propeller shaft and, as I recall, the ships freezers went on 'the blink' and tons of once frozen cargo had to be dumped overboard while we continued on one engine to London. I remember very well the strain that Mr MacDougall was under and very rarely did he leave his cabin to go anywhere but the engine room. I spent many long hours in the Engineers' quarters serving him his meals or taking sandwiches. . .and I dont think it was much of a picnic for any of the engineers. When in London the ship was totally emptied and I stayed with Mr MacDougall while we sailed in ballast to the John Brown Shipyards in Glasgow. I remember how cold and wet it was up there but most of all I remember the sadness of Mr MacDougall leaving the ship for the last time. Very sad. And of course when I left the ship. It looked a shadow of the liner it once was. And that was the end of RANGITANE'S voyage 16. Come to think of it on the voyage before we picked up the Aussie Cricket Team in Jamaica and took them to NZ. After leaving the RANGITANE I had two trips on the RUAHINE, three trips on the RANGITOTO, three on the OTAKI and then flew to Boston, via Ireland and Iceland (on a BOAC Stratocruiser) to join the WHANGAROA on the MANZ run. After about 15months on her flew back to London from Montreal (on a BOAC Constellation) and later joined the HERTFORD for a trip. In 1961/62 I had two trips on the CAMBRIDGE as 'Tiger' to Captain P.A.Ogden, who introduced me to the books of Ian Fleming. That was the final voyage for CAMBRIDGE as she then went over to Japan to be scrapped, and I went down to Falmouth to join the HINAKURA as 2nd Steward. She had just undergone a refit and was an absolute mess with no crew yet. And then the Cook, the Baker, and Butcher arrived ! We lived in a pigsty but we ate well. By the time we got to London the Company had made butchers redundant but I never lost contact with that butcher and even after all those years we are still very good friends. I only did the one trip on her and then I joined the CORNWALL for my final trip. I could have gone for a Chief Steward's position but I knew that if I obtained it I would probably finish up 'growing old' at sea, and I didnt want that so I left and began life in Australia. I had almost 10 years with NZSCo and the experience was, at times, almost unbelievable to 'grow up' in those years, in such great ships, and among such terrific crews. Thank you.
John you have a good memory and an interesting story.

Neda Agha-Soltan was in the streets of Tehran last June when President Ahmadinejad used the power of force and manipulation of ballots in order to retain his office. He unleashed thousands of his thugs, the Basij, to beat, arrest, and even kill those who were protesting the death of their attempt to create a democratic Iran. Neda was shot even though she was not throwing anything, and wasn't even shouting curses, but to the Basij, she was one of "them," not us and thus could be killed. The British have released a film which tells her story, including some of the original footage shot by bystanders who captured the dying gasps of this sweet young 26 year-old music student. The Iranian government is furious and has shot its own film which claims Neda was killed by either the doctor who treated her, the people who shot the video of her being shot, and officials are also claiming the girl is alive and well in Greece, courtesy of the British government.
Her mother continues to fight for her daughter and all that she represents. "It has become more difficult for us to visit Neda's grave. Every time we visit there are a couple of officers watching us from a distance. They're even afraid of her dead body. It's an honor for our family. We thank everybody in the world for paying attention to Neda's story."
Fear of truth lies in the heart of Iranian leaders.

How Do I Groom My Cat?
Effective at-home grooming starts with the right products. Talk to your veterinarian about what brush is best for your cat; long-haired cats will need a different brush than short-haired cats.
Once you have the right products, brush your cat on a daily basis. Cats prefer routine, which is why your veterinarian may recommend brushing your cat in conjunction with an evening feeding or right before bedtime. If you will also be bathing your cat, ask your veterinarian which shampoo would be best to use.
The condition of your cat's coat and skin is an important feline health indicator. Healthy coats are shiny and smooth, and healthy skin will be supple and clear. While nutrition and health status will influence a cat's appearance, regular grooming also has an impact. At-home grooming care, including daily brushing, is an important part of feline wellness care.
While most cats are fastidious groomers and rarely require a bath, regular at home grooming, including daily brushing, is still important. Brushing is especially important for long-haired cats, which are more susceptible to tangles and matted fur. Daily brushing is the best way to remove loose hairs. Daily brushing will also help owners who suffer from allergies as regular grooming reduces the amount of hair and pet dander in the home. For people with mild cat allergies, daily brushing may sufficiently reduce airborne feline allergens, making it possible for these individuals to comfortably share a home with cats.
Regular brushing also helps to reduce the amount of hair that cats naturally swallow through self-grooming. This may reduce the quantity and severity of hairballs. If pet owners do choose to bathe their cats, choose shampoos that are specially formulated for felines. Older or obese pets with mobility restrictions may need additional grooming assistance, including at-home baths, if they are unable to fully groom themselves.
Nails should be checked during weekly grooming sessions and trimmed as needed. Cat nails grow differently than dog's or people's nails. Cats shed their nails like a reptile sheds its skin. As cats age, they use scratching posts less, and the nail caps can build up to the point where the nails curl around and penetrate the pads of the feet. Cat nail clippers can be used to trim nails and prevent this from happening.
During at-home grooming, pet owners should also perform a mini-physical on their cat, evaluating the cat's skin and coat condition, feeling for any lumps and bumps, or noting any painful areas. While rubbing a cat's head or scratching the chin, use the forefingers to gently raise the upper lips, checking for abnormal teeth or red gums. In addition to being a special bonding time for cats and their owners, a feline health assessment during grooming is critical for older cats who are masters at hiding the symptoms of illness. Early diagnosis of health problems starts with proactive at-home care.

Med Sci Monit 2005; 11(9): BR309-315
Background: The goal was to assess changes in natural killer (NK) cellactivity and the number of c-Fos-positive cells in hypothalamic structures induced by painful electricalstimulation and to use extremely high-frequency (EHF) irradiation of the skin to modulate these processes.Material/Methods: Experiments were performed on Wistar rats subjected to painful electrical stimulationof the hind limbs combined with EHF irradiation of the skin. The cytotoxic activity of splenic NK cellswas assessed by their ability to lyse K-562 tumor cells in vitro. c-Fos-like protein was detected byan immunoperoxidase technique. Results: Painful electric stimulation was associated with a significantdecrease in splenic NK cytotoxicity and a dramatic increase in c-Fos-positive cell counts in some hypothalamicstructures, particularly in the anterior hypothalamic nucleus (AHN) and the perifornical lateral hypothalamicarea (LHA). Two EHF exposures, one before and one after electric stimulation, prevented the suppressionof splenic NK cell activity and caused a decrease in the number of c-Fos-positive cells expressed inthe ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMH) and basal LHA. Negative correlation was shown between c-Fos-positivecell counts in the AHN and LHA and the cytotoxic activity of NK cells. Conclusions: These results suggestthat painful electric stimulation of the hind limbs of rats causes a reorganization of the central mechanismsthat regulate splenic NK cell activity, resulting in a decrease in their cytotoxicity, and that EHF irradiationof the skin prevents this reorganization, thus protecting splenic NK cell activity from the impairmentinduced by this stressor.

In Reply to: RE: Anyone Ever Roll Their Own USB Cable??? Duster posted by Dynobot on May 14, 2012 at 16:12:43
I have done some experimenting with USB cables. I first bought two identical made up cables and sent one to Jena for cryogenics. The cryoed cable was clearly better. I have since made a couple using the surplus silver plated copper wire with Teflon sold on ebay. I use three twisted pair. Two for signal and one pair for power. I then had them cryogenic treated. They sound better than the same length generic cryoed cable. YMMV

Capture the bounty of summer in these quick jams and pickles. If you have an abundance of vegetables from the garden or farmers market, put them to good use in these fantastic homemade jams and pickling recipes. These recipes sound like they may be difficult, but they're actually easy enough that you can try one every weekend.
Quick Pickled PeachesThese gorgeously spiced, tangy-sweet peaches make a fantastic addition to a summer relish tray, or serve them on pound cake or alongside grilled pork or chicken.
Fig-Blackberry-Orange JamWe love to stir this intensely fruity jam into plain yogurt, so we usually take it off the heat when the mixture is still a bit runny. Cook longer for a thicker consistency.
Sweet and Sour Cucumber and Red Onion PicklesWe riffed off classic bread-and-butter pickles, adding the unexpected tastes of lemongrass and coriander.
Tomato JamTomato Jam? No, it's not a typo. A delightful blend of sweet and savory, this delicious jam can be spread on biscuits, burgers, and grilled cheese sandwiches alike.
Strawberry Raspberry JamDid you know that 25 minutes is all it takes to make delicious jam? What are you waiting for?
Spicy Pickled BeansKeep these crunchy, sweet-sour-spicy beans on hand for snacking, set them out on a relish tray at a cocktail party, or use in place of celery for bloody Marys.
Quick Homemade PicklesQuick Homemade Pickles are a cinch to make and the perfect condiment for your summer cookouts.
Pickled Watermelon RindMake summer last forever with this delicious year-round treat.
Dill Pickle SpearsConsidering that the average supermarket dill pickle spears contain 313mg sodium each, these are downright saintly, with only 193mg in 4 spears.
Strawberry-Riesling JamThis slow-cooker jam, infused with riesling wine and rosemary, is just as tasty on its own as it is slathered on biscuits with breakfast.
Pickled Jicama, Ginger, and Summer PeppersA great use for the sweet peppers piled up at the farmers' market during late summer--all of them work in this juicy, tart pickle.
Spicy, Crunchy Pickled Green Beans with LemonYou need less than an hour to put up this crunchy veggie. Spice lovers, be warned; this dish gets hotter over time.
Mustard and Ginger Pickled CarrotsSan Francisco Bay Area chef and cookbook author Joanne Weir gave us this tender-crisp pickle. It's good served with raw vegetables alongside dips at a party.
Mixed-Berry JamFour ingredients and a little time are all you need to enjoy fresh flavor every month of the year.
Orange-Pineapple Freezer PreservesIf you're new to canning, freezer preserves are an excellent place to start. This recipe is easy and sunny as a Southern Saturday morning, and it won't heat up your kitchen.
Black and Blue JamThis rich berry jam keeps in the refrigerator up to 1 month.
Stone Fruit PreservesWe made this delicious jam with peaches, but you can also substitute unpeeled plums or nectarines.
Pomegranate and Pear JamDitch the plain strawberry jam and opt for this unique flavor twist instead.
Strawberry Raspberry JamThis jam has the great flavor of raspberries without all the seeds--and it's more exciting than plain strawberry.
