Roofing Types
Composition Shingles
Composition shingles are a good choice for a clean look at an affordable price. Higher-quality versions made from asphalt or fiberglass shingles offer a more durable option and may be available with recycled content. Composition shingles come in a large selection of types, brands and colors. Versatile, they adapt easily to different applications. They are relatively easy to install, and in some applications can be nailed in place over an existing roof. They require low maintenance and can be walked on without damaging the material. Most brands offer Class A fire protection. On the negative side, they can blow off in high winds. Material is easy to scar if hot. Does not have the dimensional look of tile or shake.
Wood Shakes
Wood shakes offer a natural look with a lot of character. Because of variations like color, width, thickness, or cut of the wood, no two shake roofs will ever be the same. Wood offers some energy benefits, too: it helps to insulate the attic, and it allows the house to breathe, circulating air through the small openings under the felt rows on which wooden shingles are laid. A wood shake roof, however demands proper maintenance and repair, or it will not last as long as other products. Mold, rot, and insects can be a problem. The lifecycle cost of a shake roof may be high, and old shakes can't be recycled. Most wood shakes are unrated by fire safety codes. Many use wipe or spray-on fire retardants which offer less protection and are only effective for a few years. There are pressure-treated shakes, however, that are impregnated with fire retardant and meet national fire safety standards. Made by companies like Chemco, this pressure treating extends the life of wood shingles and provides better fire safety performance. Installing wood shakes is more complicated than roofing with composite shingles, and the quality of finished roof depends on the experience of the contractor as well as the caliber of the shakes you use. The best shakes come from the heartwood of large old cedar trees. Care should be taken when selecting shakes as the quality varies greatly from different shake mills.
Clay Tile
Clay roofing tile is a good choice for homes with a southwestern, Italian, or Spanish Mission design, or even for homes with a modern, clean look. Tile lasts a long time - its expected lifespan is greater than the lifespan of the material on which the roofing rests. Tile won't rot or burn, and it can't be harmed by insects. It requires little maintenance, and comes in a variety of colors, types, styles and brands. The biggest drawback to clay tile can be its weight. Depending on the material used to make it, tile can be very heavy - so heavy that extra roof support can be required. With some new materials, however, color is added only on the surface of the tile, and they can fade over time. Although most modern tile is kiln-fired into the tile making the color permanent. Tiles are fragile, so walking on them can break them. That makes it more difficult to accomplish maintenance like painting or cleaning rain gutters or fireplaces. Initial installation can be more complicated than other roofing materials. Finally, tile can cost more than other roofing materials.
Slate - actual shingle-like slivers of rock - is another roofing material that shows up on more upscale homes. Although slate is an expensive choice, it offers a very natural look and can be laid out in a variety of patterns. The benefits of slate are identical to those of tile: a very long lifespan, good fire protection, low maintenance, and an invulnerably to rot and insects. It comes in a good selection of sizes and colors, although colors are limited to those found in nature. Like tile, slate can be very heavy, sometimes requiring expensive extra support. It, to, is breakable enough that walking on it is difficult for a non-professional, complicating such tasks as rooftop maintenance, gutter cleaning and painting.
Concrete Tile
Concrete tile is now a roofing material. Shingles, simulated wood shakes, lighter-weight tiles and concrete panels are being manufactured from a variety of fiber-reinforced cement products. Some are coated with plastics, enamels, or thin metals, and some contain recycled material. Although the products themselves are not yet recyclable, they are a good choice for durability and resource efficiency. The advantages of concrete roofing vary from product to product, but generally they all have a long lifespan, require low maintenance, offer good fire protection and are resistant to rot and insects. Many tiles mimic the appearance of wood shakes, while improving on the durability and fire protection that real wood affords. It can approximate the look of clay tile or slate while mitigating the structural problems caused by the weight of the real material. Concrete is more expensive than some roofing materials, and early types of concrete roofing had problems with the material curling, breaking and changing color. Technology has improved, however, and these problems have mostly been overcome. Style and color choices are expanding, and by mixing the cement with additives, manufacturers and making lighter and lighter products.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofs are coming back into vogue. In the late 1700s, zinc, copper, and lead were the most popular materials used for roofing - such famous historic buildings as the Washington Monument and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello have metal roofs. Standing-seam steel roofing is the most popular residential metal roofing today. (The term standing-seam describes the upturned edge of one metal panel that connects it to adjacent sections, creating distinctive vertical lines and a trendy historical look.) But metal roofs can also be made to resemble wood shakes, clay tiles, shingles, and Victorian metal tiles. Aluminum or coated steel is formed into individual shingles or tiles, or into modular panels four feet long that mimic a row of shingles or tiles. Metal roofs are durable, fire retardant and almost maintenance-free. They are also energy efficient; metal reflects heat and blocks its transfer into the attic. Research by the Florida Solar Energy Center in 1985 showed that metal absorbed 34 percent less heat than asphalt shingles, and homeowners switching to metal roofing reported saving up to 20 percent on their energy bills. Steel roofs offer other environmental benefits as well. They are made from between 60 percent to 65 percent recyclable material. Because they weigh very little, metal roofing can be installed over existing roofs, eliminating the need to dispose of excess material in a landfill. Installing some metal roofing can be an intricate process best done by a professional, and the initial cost of a premium metal roof is higher than most other roofing materials. You need to compute the life cycle cost to see if paying more to begin with for a metal roof will prove to be a better investment than some other form of roofing.

Black Friday may be behind us, but the holiday shopping season is far from over. Millions of consumers are expected to open their wallets for Cyber Monday, the online shopping frenzy that takes place after Black Friday.
"Despite record-breaking online shopping on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday, holiday shoppers aren't done yet," National Retail Federation President and CEO Matthew Shay said in a statement. "We expect Cyber Monday to be bigger than ever."
This year, more than 131 million Americans are expected to shop online on Cyber Monday, up from 121 million in 2012, according to the NRF.
Retailers are responding with strategies to entice consumers to keep shopping. Amazon, Walmart and Target are all promoting seven days of great deals, essentially turning Cyber Monday into Cyber Week. An NRF survey indicates that retailers will offer Cyber Monday-specific deals not available in brick and mortar stores, where deep discounts over the weekend and on Thanksgiving Day drew crowds, but failed to motivate consumers to spend more.
Amazon promised to unveil new deals "as often as every ten minutes" beginning Sunday for the next seven days, they said in a statement. Target also launched seven days of online deals on the same day.
Cyber Week at Walmart kicked off two days early on Saturday, Nov. 30, and the retailer is sweetening their deals with free delivery for purchases of $35 or more. The free shipping limit was lowered from $50 last year. Click here for Walmart's full list of cyber deals.
Check out NRF's CyberMonday.com for the best online holiday deals. Barron's also curated a list of great deals on tech gadgets from Amazon, Overstock, Best Buy, Target and Walmart. Here are more of the web's best Cyber Monday treasures:
- Amazon's Kindle Fire HD 16GB is selling for $119, down from $169. The deal ends on Monday.
- Macy's is offering up to 60 percent off select accesories, coats, shoes and jewerlry. Enter the code "CYBER" at checkout.
- eBay is selling the Jawbone JAMBOX Bluetooth Rechargable Portable Speaker for $69, down from $199.
- MacMall is offering the Apple 13.3 inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display for $1,169.99, which is a $329 discount.
- The HTC One is going for 1 cent on Amazon with a two-year contract from AT&T, Sprint, or Verizon.

Win-Win Negotiating
You are about to end the negotiation, either by closing a deal or walking away from it. If you are going to close the deal, be sure that the deal is positive for both parties, producing a win-win situation. If you are thinking about walking away, be sure that you aren't overlooking some way to achieve a mutually satisfying outcome. This may be the most valuable moment in the entire negotiation.
In the commonly used sense of the phrase, a win-win negotiation is a deal that satisfies both sides. In an ideal world, a win-win agreement is the only kind of deal that would ever close. Even in today's world, the vast majority of negotiations end in win-win situations.
Win-win negotiating does not mean that you must give up your goals or worry about the other person getting what they want in the negotiation. You have your hands full looking out for your own interests. Let others bear the primary responsibility for achieving their goals. Don't think that you need to ride rough-shod over your opponents. Practice honesty and respect in all your negotiations. But looking out for the other side isn't your job. It's theirs.
Recognizing a good deal
A good deal is one that is fair under all circumstances at the time the agreement is made. It provides for various contingencies before problems arise. A good deal is workable in the real world.
To be sure that you have a good deal and a win-win situation, ask yourself the following questions just before closing:
- Does the agreement further your personal long-range goals? Does the outcome of the negotiation fit into your vision statement?
- Does the agreement fall comfortably within the goals and limits that you set for this particular negotiation?
- Can you perform your side of the agreement to the fullest?
- Do you intend to meet your commitment?
- Based on all the information, can the other side perform the agreement to your expectations?
- Based on what you know, does the other side intend to carry out the terms of the agreement?
In the ideal situation, the answer to all six questions is a resounding yes. If you are unsure about any one of them, take some extra time. Review the entire situation. Assess how the agreement could be changed in order to create a yes answer to each question. Try your best to make the change needed to get a firm yes to each question. Then, close the deal. Don't go for any more changes even if you think that the other person wouldn't mind. You never know!
When you work in a culture other than your own, being sure that you have a win-win solution takes a little extra effort. During a cross-cultural negotiation, be thorough in your investigation of what is and isn't acceptable.
If you can't alter the deal so that you can answer yes to each question, be very thoughtful about closing. If you decide to go forward, write down exactly why you are closing the deal anyway so that you don't become part of that army of people with tales of exploitation. This exercise is particularly helpful to your state of mind if the results don't work out; you have a record as to why you took the deal. You won't be so hard on yourself.
Knowing your counterpart
Remember that the people you are dealing with are more important than the paperwork you draft. Know your counterpart very well before you enter into a long-term relationship. No lawyer can protect you from a crook. Lawyers can just put you in a position to win your lawsuit. People do bad things all the time. Checking out references is one of the most overlooked resources. You can learn a great deal from checking out references, even from the most obviously biased sources.
Some people, especially women, tend to be overly concerned about the other party's welfare in a negotiation, smothering their own goals in the process. When you're engaged in a negotiation, you must allow other people to take care of themselves. You don't have to make things "nice" for everyone. That's not a negotiator's job. Your job as a negotiator is to get what you want. Remaining true to that objective may involve upsetting someone. Part of negotiating well is having the strength to take that risk.

News network Al Jazeera is closing its Beijing bureau, because Chinese authorities are refusing to renew an Al Jazeera correspondent's press credentials and visa, or even approve another journalist, the networked stated today.
The reason? According to China-based website ShanghaiIst, it is apparently related to a documentary Al Jazeera did last fall on slave labor. In it, Al Jazeera focused on Chinese slave labor prison camps known as "The Laogai" that supposedly forces prisoners to make everything from Christmas lights to Homer Simpson slippers. The documentary even contained footage of what is apparently a "Laogai" slave labor camp.
The Al Jazeera correspondent, Melissa Chan, has been the network's English correspondent in China since 2007 and has filed approximately 400 reports. This is China's first expulsion of a journalist since 1998, and Al Jazeera is trying to work with the Chinese government to reopen the bureau.
"Our editorial DNA includes covering all stories from all sides. We constantly cover the voice of the voiceless and sometimes that calls for tough news coverage from anywhere in world," said Salah Negm, director of news at Al Jazeera English, earlier today in an official statement.
"We are committed to our coverage of China," Negm continued. "Just as China news services cover the world freely we would expect that same freedom in China for any Al Jazeera journalist."
Whatever the reason for Chan's expulsion, this isn't about what Al Jazeera expects. It's about what the Chinese government expects.

What a day! Today Mason Reed (from Thisismason.com) and myself streamed live from the Podcast and New Media Expo. Click here for live feed.
The day started out with us streaming the Keynote Speech with Howard Lindzon, Creator of Wallstrip. Although the WIFI was spotty, Howard was funny and entertaining to say the least. Tomorrow we will have a dedicated T1 for the Keynote Speech by Jim Louderback, CEO of Revision3 which starts at 9am PST. Sunday's keynote is at 9am with Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine of Ask A Ninja.
We also had popular Ustream artist Matthew Ebel do a LIVE concert from our booth. At one point a guy with a green feather in his hair came by screaming at Matthew to turn it down. Luckily, Matthew didn't miss a beat and I slipped in to graciously lower the volume (even though their podcast was BLASTING in our booth all day. Gotta love it!)
iJustine also stopped by to say hi. She was streaming on Justin, Talkshow and Ustream all at the same time. Talk about streaming overload!
Also a special thanks to Mason for helping us do the live interviews with the conference guests and fellow Ustreamers!
Look for more coverage and action tomorrow through Sunday. Come join us in the chat or at the conference and say hi!

Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is a protein normally found in
the lungs and the bloodstream. It helps protect the lungs from the damage
caused by inflammation that can lead to
emphysema and
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). People
whose bodies do not produce enough of this protein (AAT deficiency) are more
likely to develop emphysema and to do so at a younger-than-normal age (30 to 40
years old). AAT deficiency is a rare disorder and is the only known
genetic (inherited) factor that increases your risk of
developing COPD.
Your doctor may suspect you have an AAT
deficiency if you:1
An AAT deficiency test measures the level of AAT in the
blood. The test is not routinely done in most people with COPD. But the
American Thoracic Society and the European Respiratory Society recommend
testing for an AAT deficiency for people who have:1
Screening for an AAT deficiency in the general public is not
currently recommended.1
It is extremely important that you do not
smoke if you have an AAT deficiency. Smokers with this condition may suffer
devastating disease at a young age. People with this condition who have never
smoked usually do not have significant symptoms at any age.
People with an AAT deficiency may be treated with injections of man-made
alpha-1 antitrypsin protein (also called an alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor) that
has been obtained from human
plasma. Examples include Aralast, Prolastin, and
Zemaira. To be considered for this treatment, you must meet the following
Injections of replacement alpha-1 antitrypsin are given
either weekly or every 2 to 4 weeks. Benefits of the therapy are not clear at
this time.

How Would A 155 MPH Serve Feel Hitting You Right In The Groin?
French player Marc Gicquel will take on Andy Roddick in the third round of Roland Garros and will be especially wary of Roddick's famed rocket serve – clocked at a record 155 mph back in 2004. Back on June 14, 2007, as documented in the book ON THIS DAY IN TENNIS HISTORY ($19.95, New Chapter Press www.tennishistorybook.com), Gicquel took the brunt of a 129 mph serve in the groin area, which is documented below from the book.
2007 – French tennis player Marc Gicquel is dragged off the court to be treated after being on the receiving end of a 129 mph serve in the groin. Gicquel eventually returns to the court and beats Germany's Benjamin Becker 6-2, 7-6 (5) but spends the night vomiting and suffers with swelling and pain and withdraws from his quarterfinal match with Finland's Jarkko Nieminen the next day.

Miami's famous Calle Ocho festival wrapped up yesterday after a record breaking year. The 35 year old fest centers around 8th street in Miami's southwest side, the legendary heart of Little Havana. Performers play on a main stage, their are lots of tents selling knick knacks and t-shirts that say stuff like "100% Cubana" or "Cubanos do it better", and enough food to feed an army of chubby Latinos. I wasn't able to go this year, but I was there last year and I noticed some major changes from the Calle Ocho festival of my childhood. Namely, it's not all about Cuba anymore.
When the Cuban exile began in 1959, the newly arrived Cubanos congregated in this part of Miami. The southwest side became "La Sowesera". Cuban restaurants line the streets, including Versailles, ground zero of the community. There is the famous domino park where old guys play dominoes and discuss how to overthrow the Castro regime. That's all still there. But Miami has changed a lot. Many Cubans, who later moved up the economic ladder, have left the southwest side for more affluent areas. Calle Ocho is now more of a tourist attraction about the Cuban community. Also an increased influx of immigrants from other countries like Colombia, Puerto Rico, and Mexico are challenging the Cuban dominance over Miami's Latino community. Today at the Calle Ocho festival, you are as likely to see a Colombian flag as a Cuban one. Last year the headline performer was Puerto Rican rapper Fat Joe and not Gloria Estefan or someone like that. The Calle Ocho fest is now more of a pan-Latino festival, which is fine. As long as I can still eat a plate of ropa vieja I'm fine.

What is the job with the best views in the world? I thought an astronaut in the ISS. But perhaps I'm mistaken.
Maybe it's the job of the guy sitting on this KC-130J Hercules, watching those two AV-8B Harriers getting closer and closer over Helmand province, Afghanistan, Decemeber. 6, 2012. That guy is U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Gregory Moore, a "combat videographer with the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing." You get to fly anywhere and photograph everything from multiple perspectives—air, land and sea.
That. That's the job I'd like to have (for a few months, anyway). And then be an astronaut.
What do you think would be the job with the more interesting and exciting views? Tell us in the comments.

An array of upmarket resorts
Lanzarote has great weather, first-class hotels and great beaches. It is the perfect destination for all types of holidays, with upmarket resorts such as Playa Blanca and Costa Teguise which are especially popular with families.
There's no shortage of places to splash the cash in Lanzarote, with most places boasting an array of shops, boutiques and markets. A good place to start is the Calle Leon Y Castillo in Arrecife, known as the Calle Real to locals. Along with high-street chains such as Vero Moda and Zara, there are cigar emporia galore and a small street market. For an earthier experience, head to the weekly market in sleepy Teguise, where you'll find everything from handmade lace to African figurines, fake Rolexes and fresh local food.
Food & Drink
From salty papas arrugadas (wrinkled boiled potatoes) to tiny papas cr�as (wild potatoes), Lanzarote overflows with dishes that make the most of the local staple – the humble spud. Get stuck in at El Diablo (Timanfaya National Park), which opens only for lunch but specialises in traditional fare. Spectacular though the views are, they don't quite compare to eating supper in a lava tube, which is exactly what you get at Jameos del Agua (Road Orzola). Less striking but just as lovely is El Charc�n (Arrieta Wharf), a pretty beachside restaurant that specialises in seafood and sea views.
Lanzarote Carnival
Expect weeks of dancing, parades and one-off exhibitions and events during the island's annual party month. Festivities commence in Arrecife, followed by San Bartolom�, Puerto del Carmen, Har�a, Playa Blanca, Costa Teguise, Tinajo, Famara and La Graciosa.
Ironman Lanzarote
One of the toughest physical challenges on the planet, Ironman Lanzarote kicks off with a 3.8km swim off the coast of Playa Grande followed a 180km bike ride round the island before finishing with a marathon along the promenade in Puerto del Carmen. Exhausting but fun.
Corpus Christi
Head to the church of San Gin�s in Arrecife for the highlight: a colourful procession around the church over an elaborate carpet made from coloured salt.
International Jazz Festival
It's not exclusive to Lanzarote but with some of the world's top jazz acts making a beeline for the island, it's well worth a visit. Teguise hosts the main event – a free concert staged in a vast carpa (marquee).
Fiesta of the Virgen de los Dolores
An annual excuse for the islanders to dust off their glad rags and party, the fiesta celebrates Lanzarote's patron saint, the Virgen de los Dolores. Although there is a religious element, most of the action is focused on eating and drinking as much as possible.
Thanks to strict building regulations, you won't find any towering blocks on Lanzarote. Instead, everything is low rise and frequently self-catering, although there are some stylish gems in the mix if you know where to look. In the main resort of Playa Blanca, try the luxurious H10 Timanfaya Palace (Calle Gran Canaria 1, Monta�a Roja) or the cheaper THB Tropical Island Resort (La Secreta). Away from the tourist hubs, try the wonderful Gran Meli� Salinas (Avenida Islas Canarias), which is sandwiched between two white-sand beaches and perfect for a spot of chilled R&R.

An incarcerated hernia is a part of the intestine or abdominal
tissue that becomes trapped in the sac of a hernia—the bulge of soft tissue
that pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall.
If part of the intestine is trapped, stool may not be able to pass
through the intestine. This may cause pain, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal
swelling (distension).
The loop of intestine can swell and become tightly trapped
(strangulated) in the hernia, which causes the tissue to die (gangrene). If the
intestine becomes strangulated, immediate surgery is needed.

Wordless Wednesday - Hannan Family Campout
4 comments:
We used to camp here, too! Can you believe that Green Valley is still a campgound? Lots of the campgrounds we used to visit are now developed, especially in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. We had the same dining canopy and the same types of folding chairs. Maybe our families were there at the same time? That would be funny!ReplyDelete
Heather - that is amazing! I had to google to see if the campground was still there! I was glad to find it. My aunt and her family camped there quite a lot as they lived in Palermo - a little north just off Rt 3.ReplyDelete
Nice picture. That's really great that you were able to get everyone together like that. Thanks for sharing. Nice blog too btw.ReplyDelete
Looks like it was a great time - having everyone together and enjoying each others company. Thanks for posting it.ReplyDelete

Consortium seeks best treatment for HIV-positive cancer patients
Preliminary findings from a unique study with sunitinib suggest that it might be possible to tweak the dosage of chemotherapy drugs used to treat HIV-positive cancer patients to achieve therapeutic benefit. Given the type of drug cocktail patients use to treat their HIV, much more or considerably less chemotherapy may be warranted, say the researchers, part of the NCI-supported AIDS Malignancy Consortium (AMC). The trial design is being presented at the 2010 annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). Researchers say the early analysis is important because it highlights the Catch 22 that many HIV-infected cancer patients face. "Cancer unrelated to AIDS is rapidly increasing in HIV-positive patients, yet many oncologists do not know how to treat these cancers, and these patients are also excluded from cancer clinical trials," says the study's lead investigator, John F. Deeken, M.D., a medical oncologist at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.
"While such caution is understandable, it may be scientifically unjustified as well as fundamentally unfair, and this study is designed to help guide treatment for these patients," says Deeken, who will present updated data on June 7 during the Trials in Progress Poster Session ASCO.
For reasons that are unclear, cancers that are unrelated to HIV infection are growing at an alarming rate in these patients, compared to the general HIV-negative population, he says. These non-AIDS-defining cancers are also more aggressive, occur at younger ages, have higher rates of relapse and poorer outcomes, Deeken says. For example, HIV patients are 13-31 times more likely to develop Hodgkin's lymphoma, they have a seven times higher rate of developing liver cancer, and three times the rate of developing lung or head and neck cancers, he says.
"A key challenge in treating these patients is that anti-HIV medicines are notorious for causing drug-drug interactions. Such interactions with anti-cancer chemotherapy drugs could lead to serious side effects and toxicities in patients," Deeken says.
This study is testing the safety of the chemotherapy drug sunitinib (Sutent) and has enrolled patients into two groups of HIV patients – group 1: those using non-nuceleotide analog reverse transcription inhibitors (NNRTIs) in their drug cocktail and group 2: patients using ritonavir-based protease inhibitor cocktail therapy.
The AMC chose to study sunitinib because this oral medication was approved to treat kidney cancer, which is occurring at a higher rate among HIV patients, and is being studied in other cancer types that also affect these patients, such as lung and colorectal. The study is being sponsored by the Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis, National Cancer Institute under a Clinical Trials Agreement with Pfizer, Inc for sunitinib.
Like many cancer drugs, sunitinib is a "prodrug" that requires the CYP450 family of enzymes in the liver to activate the drug for it to be effective. The drugs used in the first group are not known to inhibit the liver enzymes but agents used in the second group are known to inhibit enzyme activity, which means that cancer drugs that also use these enzymes could become too potent and therefore toxic, Deeken says.
Early findings from the nine patients enrolled to date indicate that the patients in the first group are tolerating standard sunitinib therapy. In fact, the HIV cocktail used by some in the first group may be inducing liver enzyme activity which suggests that higher doses of sunitinib might be warranted in these patients. It also appears that a low dose of sunitinib in the second group of patients is being highly activated, implying these patients could benefit from an even lower dose of chemotherapy.
The study will test the effects of different doses of sunitinib in participants, watching for toxicity as well as effectiveness.
"These are early days, but we hope the information we learn from this study will help these cancer patients get the therapy they want and need, as well as access to clinical trials of the newest agents," Deeken says.

The news from Lehigh University is that the Dark Side of the Force must be cashed up!
Economics students at the Pennsylvanian university have worked together to develop a methodology from all reports and information available on the size and construction of the greatest weapon in the universe. The final cost is estimated at $8,100,000,000,000,000. That is appropximately 13,000 times the world's gross domestic product (GDP) required if NASA intended to embark on such an exercise today.
The core issue for the team was estimating the amount of raw materials required. They appear to be comfortable that our planet could provide enough (only there would be a question about how much of the planet would be left after sourcing the materials). The blog post on the report states:
Scaling up to the Death Star, this is about 1.08x1015 tonnes of steel. 1 with fifteen zeros.
Which seems like a colossal mass but we've calculated that from the iron in the earth, you could make just over 2 billion Death Stars. You see, the Earth's crust may have a limited amount of iron, but the core is mostly our favorite metal and is both very big and very dense, and it's from here that most of our death-star iron would come.
You can read more about the process to come to that final figure over here.

Actress Lindsay Lohan has reportedly been approached to host the first episode of the new season of "Saturday Night Live".
The 27-year-old actress has been offered more work ever since she completed her stint in the rehabilitation centre.
"'Saturday Night Live' has approached Lindsay to host the show again, and they were talking about the season opener," radaronline.com quoted a source as saying.
Lohan is keen to think about the offer as she is a fan of the comedy show.
"She is definitely considering doing it. She loves the show and the people involved," the source added.
The troubled star, who recently completed a 90-day court-ordered rehab for substance abuse at the Cliffside Malibu treatment centre in California, is coping well since she left the clinic.
"Lindsay is doing really, really well. She is going to business meetings and she's been on time for every single one of them. This is the best I've seen her in years," said the source.

And Yet It Moves
Game refuses to launch and one of the following messages can be observed on console
readlink: extra operand 'Yet' Try 'readlink --help' for more information.
This script must be run as a user with write priviledges to game directory
To fix this, use:
~/.steam/root/SteamApps/common/And Yet It Moves/AndYetItMovesSteam.sh

Follow the same steps as Defender's Quest
Mouse pointer gets stuck in one direction
If the mouse pointer gets stuck in any one direction, the game becomes unplayable. You may try:
#<JoystickEnabled on="1″ /> <JoystickEnabled on="0″ />
If that does not fix the issue, unplug any joystick or joystick adapter devices you may have plugged in.
Cities in Motion 2
Dialog boxes fail to display properly

Civilization V
Stuttering sound with Pulse Audio
Uncomment and modify the default fragment size msec to this value:
default-fragment-size-msec = 5
Restart Pulse Audio and the sound should now play properly.
Crusader Kings II
Game is installed into
$HOME/Steam/SteamApps/common/Crusader Kings II.
Game can be started directly, without need of running Steam on background, using command
$HOME/Steam/SteamApps/common/Crusader Kings II/ck2.
Saves are stored in
$HOME/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings II/save games/.
In the newest version 2.03 savefiles seem to be stored to
$HOME/.paradoxinteractive/Crusader Kings II/, if your documents folder is empty, try looking there.
Linux version doesn't have a launcher in opposite of Windows one.
For using mods, you need to put them into game settings directory (
~/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings II/mod/) and launch the game with special key
For example:
-mod=mod/CK2_rus_full_v1.092.mod -mod=mod/Extendedtitlesmod.mod
If mods don't load for you, try creating a mod folder in
$HOME/.paradoxinteractive/Crusader Kings II/ and put your mods there.
All DLC that you have bought on Steam is enabled by default. As with mods, due to lack of a launcher you need to use a launch option to disable one. The option is
-exclude-dlc with an argument of the corresponding
.dlc file in
~/.steam/steam/SteamApps/common/Crusader Kings II/dlc/. For example, to disable Sunset Invasion, use:
No audio
The default audio driver used by Crusader Kings 2 is for PulseAudio, so an override is necessary:
Defender's Quest: Valley of the Forgotten
Game does not start
- Package adobe-air-sdkAUR installs Adobe Air not in the place where the game expects it to be, fix this by creating a symlink (requires root permissions):
$ ln -s /opt/adobe-air-sdk/runtimes/air/linux/Adobe\ AIR /opt/Adobe\ AIR
- Adobe AIR will want to check whether the EULA was accepeted and fail in doing so. To fix it, issue the following commands (from under your user, not under root):
$ mkdir -p ~/.appdata/Adobe/AIR $ echo 2 > ~/.appdata/Adobe/AIR/eulaAccepted
Don't Starve
Dependencies (x86_64)
- lib32-flashplugin
- lib32-alsa-plugins (Looks like it fixes sound in some cases. See this github issue for details)
No sound
Right click on Don't Starve on your game list, click on Properties, click on SET LAUNCH OPTIONS, then add this:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" %command%
On the game, go to the option and set all audio to the proper volume.
Dota 2
Dependencies (x86_64)
- lib32-openal
- lib32-libpulse (if you use PulseAudio)
In-game font is unreadable
Start Steam (or Dota 2) with the environment variable:
Everything seems OK but the game doesn't start
If you run the game from the terminal and, although no error is shown, the disabling: Steam > Settings > In-Game > Enable Steam Community In-Game. Apparently the game The Book of Unwritten Tales has the same problem. It also describes a workaround that is untested in Dota 2.
Game runs on the wrong screen
Game does not start with libxcb-dri3 error message
After a recent Mesa update, Dota 2 stopped working. The error message is:
SDL_GL_LoadLibrary(NULL) failed: Failed loading libGL.so.1: /usr/lib32/libxcb-dri3.so.0: undefined symbol: xcb_send_fd
Simply remove the bundled libxcb to force Steam to use the system-wide version. Restart Steam to apply.
$ find ~/.local/share/Steam -name 'libxcb*' -type f | grep -v installed | xargs rm
Steam overlay
Steam distributes a copy of libxcb which is incompatible with the latest xorg libxcb. If you're having issues with steam overlay and on recent xorg try removing the bundled lib.
mv ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1 /tmp/libxcb.so.1.bak
See more information here:
Dwarfs F2P
Game does not start
There was a bug that stopped Steam from fetching all the needed files. It should be resolved, if you still bump into this problem, try verifying integrity of game cache from game properties, local files tab.
If the game still crashes at startup, edit
~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Dwarfs - F2P/Run.sh and change
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:.
If these do not help, you may have outdated libraries in the game installation folder that are crashing the game on startup. Try moving/removing the following files out of
~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Dwarfs - F2P/ to fix it:
libX11.so.6, libsteam.so libtier0_s.so, libvstdlib_s.so, steamclient.so
Game crashes
In some cases, the game crashes about 2 minutes before the end of every arcade. This bug has been reported, but there's no known solution to it.
Dynamite Jack
Sound Issues
When running on 64-bit Arch Linux, there may be "pops and hisses" when running Dynamite Jack. This could be caused by not having
STEAM_RUNTIME=0 set. (However, even with
STEAM_RUNTIME=0 set, the game may still sometimes start with this issue. Exiting and restarting the game seems to make the problem go away.)
Game does not start
If running steam with the
STEAM_RUNTIME=0, Dynamite Jack may have a problem starting. Check the steam error messages for this message:
/home/<USER>/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Dynamite Jack/bin/main: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Install lib32-sdl from multilib and Dynamite Jack should start up.
Football Manager 2014
This game will not run when installed on an XFS or reiserfs filesystem. Workaround is to install on an ext4 filesystem.
This game has 32-bit and 64-bit binaries. For unknown reason, steam will launch the 32-bit binary even on 64-bit Arch Linux. When manually launching the 64-bit binary, the game starts, but cannot connect to Steam account, so you cannot play. So install 32-bits dependencies, and launch the game from Steam.
FTL: Faster than Light
Libraries are downloaded and and placed in the game's data directory for both architectures. As long as you run FTL by the launcher script (or via the shortcut in Steam) you should not need to download any further libraries.
After installation, FTL may fail to run due to a 'Text file busy' error (characterised in Steam by your portrait border going green then blue again). The easiest way to mend this is to just reboot your system. Upon logging back in FTL should run.
The Steam overlay in FTL does not function as it is not a 3D accelerated game. Because of this the desktop notifications will be visible. If playing in fullscreen, therefore, these notifications in some systems may steal focus and revert you back to windowed mode with no way of going back to fullscreen without relaunching. The binaries for FTL on Steam have no DRM and it is possible to run the game without Steam running, so in some cases that may be optimum - just ensure that you launch FTL via the launcher script in
~/.steam/root/SteamApps/common/FTL Faster than Light/data/ rather than the FTL binary in the $arch directory.
Problems with open-source video driver
FTL may fail to run if you are using an opensource driver for your video card. There are two solutions: install a proprietary video driver or delete (rename if you are unsure) the library "libstdc++.so.6" inside
~/.steam/root/SteamApps/common/FTL\ Faster\ Than\ Light/data/amd64/lib. This is if you are using a 64bit system. In case you are using a 32bit system you have to remove (rename) the same library located into
~/.steam/root/SteamApps/common/FTL\ Faster\ Than\ Light/data/x86/lib.
Game Dev Tycoon
Game does not start
Error about missing libudev.so.0 might appear, solution:
# ln -s /lib/libudev.so /lib/libudev.so.0
Garry's Mod
Game does not start
Error about missing client.so might appear, solution:
cd SteamLibrary/SteamApps/common/GarrysMod/bin/ ln -s libawesomium-1-7.so.0 libawesomium-1-7.so.2 ln -s ../garrysmod/bin/client.so ./
Half-Life 2 & episodes
Cyrillic fonts problem
This problem can be solved by deleting "Helvetica" font.
The game not starting from Steam GUI
Right click on Hammerwatch on your game list, click on Properties, click on SET LAUNCH OPTIONS, then add this:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" %command%
No sound
Hammerwatch opens with a popup: "Sound Error" -- "Could not initialize OpenAL, no sounds will be played. Try updating your OpenAL drivers."
OpenAL, which Hammerwatch uses, defaults to Pulseaudio. To change that, add the following line to /etc/openal/alsoft.conf:
This way, Hammerwatch will use alsa. This solution was found here.
Harvest: Massive Encounter
Game refuses to launch and throws you to library installer loop. Just edit
~/.steam/root/SteamApps/common/Harvest Massive Encounter/run_harvest and remove everything but
#!/bin/bash exec ./Harvest
Joe Danger 2: The Movie
Game only worked after obtaining from the Humble Bundle directly and lib32-libpulse was installed.
Kerbal Space Program
Game never progresses past initial loading
To fix this, set:
No text display
The game requires Arial and Arial Black fonts, provided in the ttf-ms-fontsAUR AUR package.
Graphics flickering when using primusrun
Run with PRIMUS_SYNC=2 (but you will get reduced frame rate this way)
Game crashes when accessing settings or saves on 64 bit systems on Steam
In the properties for Kerbal Space program, set a launch option of:
LC_ALL=C %command%_64
Locale settings
See https://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/504 if you have troubles with building Ships.
No audio on 64-bit systems
Run the 64-bit executable.
Steam launches the KSP.x86 executable vs. the KSP.x86_64 executable. Navigate to:
/home/$USER/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Kerbal\ Space\ Program/
Launch with:
Or you can simply right click on "Kerbal Space Program" in your game list, click Properties, click SET LAUNCH OPTIONS, then add this:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" LC_ALL=C %command%_64
Killing Floor
Screen resolution
Killing Floor runs pretty much from scratch, although you might have to change in-game resolution screen as the default one is 800x600 and a 4:3 screen format.
If you try to modify screen resolution in-game, it might crash your desktop enviroment.
To fix this, please set the desired resolution screen size by modifing your
~/.killingfloor/System/KillingFloor.ini with your prefered editor.
... [WinDrv.WindowsClient] WindowedViewportX=???? WindowedViewportY=???? FullscreenViewportX=???? FullscreenViewportY=???? MenuViewportX=??? MenuViewportY=??? ... [SDLDrv.SDLClient] WindowedViewportX=???? WindowedViewportY=???? FullscreenViewportX=???? FullscreenViewportY=???? MenuViewportX=???? MenuViewportY=???? ...
???? with the corresponding numbers according the desired resolution. If you have an 1366x768 screen and want to use it at it's fullest, change all the Viewport fields to something like
ViewportX=1366 and
ViewportY=768 in the corresponding areas.
Save the file and restart the game, it should work now.
Windowed mode
Uncheck fullscreen in the options menu, and use
Ctrl+g to stop mouse capturing (that was non-obvious to discover..). This way you can easily minimize it and do other other things..and let your WM handle things.
Metro: Last Light
This game is not allowing to change its resolution on a multimonitor setup on GNOME with Catalyst drivers.
Attempted fixes
Various changes to the games config file was tried without success.
wmctrl was not able to force the games resolution.
Hacky solution
Disabled the side monitors.
Possible solutions
Jason over at unencumbered by fact is using Nvidia drivers on his multimonitor setup. However he notes he is using a single display server setup. This is being explored.
Penumbra: Overture
(Taken from penumbra-collectionAUR and penumbra-overture-ep1-demoAUR)
Windowed mode
There is no in-game option to change to the windowed mode, you will have to edit
~/.frictionalgames/Penumbra/Overture/settings.cfg to activate it.
FullScreen="true" and change it to
FullScreen="false", after this the game should start in windowed mode.
Portal 2
Game does not start
If you get the error
PROBLEM: You appear to have OpenGL 1.4.0, but we need at least 2.0.0!,
~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Portal\ 2/bin/libstdc++.so.6.
Natural Selection 2
Game mostly works out of the box.
No Sound
If there is no sound in-game. Try installing lib32-sdl, lib32-sdl2, and lib32-alsa-plugins
If this fails, try setting the game's launch options in Steam to:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib32:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" %command%
Dependencies (x86_64)
- lib32-libpulse (if you use PulseAudio)
Revenge of the Titans
- libxtst and lib32-libxtst
Serious Sam 3: BFE
No audio
Try running:
# mkdir -p /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/ # ln -s /usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/
If that does not work, try tweaking
~/.alsoftrc as proposed by the Steam community (Serious Sam 3: BFE uses OpenAL to output sound). If you are not using Pulse Audio, you may want to write the following configuration:
[general] drivers = alsa [alsa] device = default capture = default mmap = true
Sir, you are being hunted
Game crash
The shipped x86 version of Spacechem does not work on x64 with the game's own libSDL* files, and crashes with some strange output.
To solve this just remove or move the three files
libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0 from
Space Pirates and Zombies
No audio
Try running:
# mkdir -p /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/ # ln -s /usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/
If that does not work, try tweaking
~/.alsoftrc as proposed by the Steam community (Serious Sam 3: BFE uses OpenAL to output sound). If you are not using Pulse Audio, you may want to write the following configuration:
[general] drivers = alsa [alsa] device = default capture = default mmap = true
Splice comes with both x86 and x64 binaries. Steam does not have to be running to launch this game.
Steel Storm: Burning Retribution
Start with black screen
The game tries to launch in 1024x768 resolution with fullscreen mode by default. It is impossible on some devices. (for example laptop Samsung Series9 with intel hd4000 video).
You can launch the game in windowed mode. To do this open game Properties in Steam, in General tab select "Set launch options..." and type "-window".
Now you can change the resolution in game.
No English fonts
If you use Intel video card, just disable S3TC in DriConf.
Strike Suite Zero
Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP
- lib32-glu
- lib32-alsa-plugins
- lib32-libpulse (if you use PulseAudio)
Team Fortress 2
Making HRTF work
Assuming HRTF has been set up properly in the operating system, hrtf won't be enabled unless you disable the original processing. To do so, use
dsp_slow_cpu 1
For best results, also change the following:
snd_spatialize_roundrobin 1 dsp_enhance_stereo 0 snd_pitchquality 1
Loading screen freeze
If you are a non-english (speaking) user, you have to enable "en_US.UTF-8" in the locale.gen! Generate a new locale after that.
No audio
It happens if there is no PulseAudio in your system.
If you want to use ALSA, you need to launch Steam or the game directly with
(From SteamCommunity).
If it still does not work, you may also need to set the environment variable AUDIODEV. For instance
AUDIODEV=Live. Use
aplay -l to list the available sound cards.
Slow loading textures
If you are using Chris' FPS Configs or any other FPS config, you may have set
mat_picmip to
2. This spawns multiple threads for texture loading, which may cause more jittering and lag on Linux, especially on alternative kernels. Try setting it to
-1, the default.
The Book of Unwritten Tales
If the game does not start, uncheck: Properties > Enable Steam Community In-Game.
The game may segfault upon clicking the Setting menu and possibly during or before gameplay. This is a known problem and you will unfortunately have to wait for a fix from the developer. A workaround (taken from the Steam forums) is to replace the game's RenderSystem_GL.so with one from Debian's repositories. To do that download this deb file, extract it (with
dpkgAUR -x libogre-*.deb outdir) and replace
~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/The Book of Unwritten Tales/lib/32/RenderSystem_GL.so with the one that comes with the
.deb package.
- lib32-libxawAUR
- lib32-jasperAUR
The Book of Unwritten Tales: The Critter Chronicles
Because it's based on the same engine, the things that apply to The Book of Unwritten Tales also apply for this game.
The Clockwork Man
The Polynomial
Segfaults during program start on 64-bit systems
The game segfaults during program start because of the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting in the launcher script. Edit
~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/ThePolynomial/Polynomial64, and comment out the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. Make sure to put the
./bin/Polynomial64 "$@" command on a new line.
Towns / Towns Demo
Crash on launch
Ensure you have Java installed.
Trine 2
- If colors are wrong with FOSS drivers (r600g at least), try to run the game in windowed mode, rendering will be corrected. (bugreport)
- If sound plays choppy, try:
drivers=pulse,alsa frequency=48000
- If the game resolution is wrong when using a dual monitor setup and you can't see the whole window edit
~/.frozenbyte/Trine2/options.txtand change the options
ForceFullscreenHeightto the resolution of your monitor on which you want to play the game.
Unity of Command
- If squares are shown instead of text, try removing
$HOME/Steam/SteamApps/common/Unity of Command/bin/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0.
No audio
If you get this error:
ALSA lib dlmisc.c:254:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so
Try running:
# mkdir -p /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/ # ln -s /usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/
Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings
If the game does not run, enable error messages:
cd "${HOME}/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/the witcher 2" LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose ./witcher2
libGL fails to load because
swrast_dri.so has problems, go back and double check if multilib is enabled and the 32-bit opengl libraries are installed.
Wizardry 6: Bane of the Cosmic Forge
To fix the crash at start, edit
~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Wizardry6/dosbox_linux/launch_wizardry6.sh and change
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:./libs exec ./dosbox -conf dosbox_wiz6.conf -conf dosbox_wiz6_launch_linux.conf -noconsole "$@"
#export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:./libs exec dosbox -conf dosbox_wiz6.conf -conf dosbox_wiz6_launch_linux.conf -noconsole "$@"
World of Goo
Changing resolution
- To change the game resolution edit the section "Graphics display" in the configuration file
$HOME/Steam/SteamApps/common/World of Goo/properties/config.txt. For example, see below:
<param name="screen_width" value="1680" /> <param name="screen_height" value="1050" /> <param name="color_depth" value="0" /> <param name="fullscreen" value="true" /> <param name="ui_inset" value="10" />
Worms Reloaded
Hangs on startup
Steam ships its own versions of some libraries, and they sometimes are too old to work with archlinux system libraries. Removing the library supplied by Steam means Steam has to use the newer arch-specific version. [3].
rm ~.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6

New York City is on top of their game when it comes to desserts. From the age-old Italian bakeries in the outer boroughs to the trendy cupcake, cakeball, and macaron boutiques that keep popping up, a new spot in town has one legendary restaurant's pastry chef branching out on his own venture that brings his French flair to after-dinner sweets. Dominique Ansel, longtime pastry chef at Daniel, opened Dominique Ansel Bakery yesterday on Spring Street.
This pastry shop will not only entice you with buttery croissants and creamy eclairs; but as the New York Times reports, Chef Ansel is also introducing the New York crowd to his take on his hometown desserts, including Paris-Brest, "a filled ring of cream puff pastry." This dessert alone is reason enough to check out this new patisserie. This cafe is also not just about sweets, serving up coffee and small savory plates for customers who can look forward to the garden house even in the upcoming winter months.
Tune in to our "unique desserts" episode of 1st Look this Saturday after Saturday Night Live on NBC.

We have an ASP.NET web-application which has become difficult to maintain, and I'm looking for ideas on how to redesign it. It's an employee administration system which can be highly customized for each of our customers. Let me explain how it works now:
On the default page we have a menu where a user can select a task, such as Create Employee or View Timesheet. I'll use Create Employee as an example.
When a user selects Create Employee from the menu, an ASPX page is loaded which contains a dynamically loaded usercontrol for the selected menuitem, e.g. for Create Employee this would be AddEmployee.ascx
If the user clicks Save on the control, it navigates to the default page. Some menuitems involve multiple steps, so if the user clicks Next on a multi-step flow then it will navigate to the next page in the flow, and so on until it reaches the final step, where clicking Save navigates to the default page.
Some customers may require an extra step in the Create Employee flow (e.g. SecurityClearance.ascx) but others may not.
Different customers may use the same ASCX usercontrol, so in the AddEmployee.OnInit we can customize the fields for that customer, i.e. making certain fields hidden or readonly or mandatory.
The following things are customizable per customer:
- Menu items
- Steps in each flow (ascx control names)
- Hidden fields in each ascx
- Mandatory fields in each ascx
- Rules relating to each ascx, which allows certain logic to be used in the code for that customer
The customizations are held in a huge XML file per customer, which could be 7500 lines long.
Is there any framework or rules-engine that we could use to customize our application in this way? How do other applications manage customizations per customer?

Technological leadership, a spirit of innovation, and the courage to explore new paths have always distinguished Rolls-Royce Power Systems with its MTU and MTU Onsite Energy brands.
Now you are invited to go on a journey through 110 years of corporate history. 50 landmarks along the way highlight in text and pictures the different engine models, pioneering developments and other events that make up over one hundred years of corporate history, so you can learn more about the company's technological milestones and engineering prowess.
The first engine-powered, steerable, rigid airship - developed by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin (1838-1917) had his successful maiden flight on July 2, 1900 over Lake Constance at the site where the MTU Plant 2 stands today. The flight of the LZ 1 lasted 18 minutes and reached a height of 400 meters. The LZ 1 was powered by two Daimler petrol engines, each providing 9 kW of power (12 hp). Wilhelm Maybach built the engines.
© Archiv Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH
On August 5, 1908 the airship LZ 4 had to make an emergency landing in Echterdingen near Stuttgart due to engine problems. A downdraft then ripped the airship from its moorings and caused it to catch fire. Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin then received around 6.25 million gold marks in donations from the German people. With this money, he founded Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH on September 8, 1908 and then established the Zeppelin Foundation on December 30 to promote aviation and aeronautical science. The company then moved to Friedrichshafen where zeppelin hangars and further zeppelins were built over the next few years.
After the destruction of the LZ 4 in Echterdingen, Wilhelm Maybach (1846-1929), 'King of Designers' and father of the Mercedes, the first modern automobile, wrote to Graf Ferdinand von Zeppelin on August 22, 1908. He referred to an engine design developed by his son Karl (1879-1960) and emphasized its reliability. Graf Zeppelin took up the proposal and on March 23, 1909, Luftfahrzeug-Motorenbau GmbH - based in Bissingen an der Enz - was founded. The purpose of the company was "the construction of engines for airships", linked with the option of also using these engines "for power-driven vehicles on land and water". The first engines constructed by Karl Maybach were designed and built at the Grotz machine factory in Bissingen. Karl Maybach was head of technology of this first forerunner of today's MTU Friedrichshafen.
The first airship engine reached the test bench as early as the fall of 1909: Type AZ (107 kW or 145 hp) – a six-cylinder engine precisely matched to aviation requirements with a superb power-weight ratio. It was designed so that pistons, cylinders and valves could be replaced easily during the journey when the engine was switched off. The engine was first used in 1910 in the LZ 6. The first zeppelin to launch with three AZ engines alone was the LZ 10 "Schwaben." Scheduled passenger flights were carried out with the LZ 10 from 1911 onwards.
In 1911/1912 the company relocated to Friedrichshafen to the site where MTU Plant 1 stands today. At that time it directly adjoined the Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH site. In May 1912 the company changed its name to Motorenbau GmbH. Production continued to consist of airship engines.
In 1916, Motorenbau GmbH developed the Type Mb IVa over-dimensioned aircraft engine, the first series-production aircraft engine with an output of 260 hp. The six-cylinder Otto in-line engine was tested at a height of 1800 m above Mount Wendelstein in Bavaria. The loss of performance in aircraft engines as air density dropped was offset by a greater cubic capacity and higher compression – so the engine was "over-dimensioned" and "over-compressed." Up until 1918, this aircraft engine was installed mainly in G and R aircraft, as well as reconnaissance aircraft and airships.
On May 18, 1918 the company changed its name from Motorenbau to Maybach-Motorenbau. A new company logo, a curved triangle with double M, was created to represent the new name. The site grew significantly until the end of World War I due to high demand for aircraft engines. Numerous buildings were added and over 3000 people were employed.
