Lula this and the kirsten dunst-edited one tie for my favorite issue.Now, to some people, this is a good thing! To others, this sounds like Dave Eggers' rant about Joanna Newsom (who is featured in the most recent issue, actually.) For me, it's in between -- sometimes I finish an issue wanting to frolic in a meadow dressed like a ballerina, and sometimes I finish with the need for something really rough and incongruous and loud. But Lula's occasional trips to the dark side -- be it through an article devoted to angsty teens like Enid Coleslaw or an Alison Mosshart interview -- are closer to my tastes, and its aesthetic is fairy and magic and it always accomplishes this. Tough just isn't its thing, and that's cool, though it'd be nice to once in a while see them describe a woman as a powerful, angry force as opposed to a fragile, sparkling Manic Pixie Dream Girl (Anna touched on this topic here.) Still, unless it's one of my Speak In A Monotone And Give Everyone Death Stares days, I finish an issue inspired. I know I can always go to Lula when I feel creatively inept. And through it I have been exposed to so many independent artists, sculptors, photographers, singers, filmmakers, and more, and I like that this is balanced out with contributions from more well-known forces like Ellen von Unwerth and Lynn Yaeger and features on folks such as Keira Knightly and Mia Farrow. Plus there are very few ads and very few products/projects their interviewees have to promote. It's less like a commercial and more like getting a peek into a vessel of creativity where clothes from luxury houses are used primarily because it looks great in the photo and people like Bud Cort are interviewed just because they're awesome. It comes out twice a year (buy it while you can, as they are a bajillion dollars on eBay months later,) is like a book, and is worth it, in my opinion, as long as you like feeling like you're in a field in a flowing white dress and a boater hat with a bunch of pink cats. If you don't like feeling like this, you will by the tenth page.
Lula is magic. I expect sparkles to fly up in my face with every page turn. I've always imagined that it is created by a bunch of fairies that live in a tree in a forest. More specifically, this tree. In the forest run off to in Marie Antoinette. These Lula fairies have a lot of teacups and their rooms smell like old books and they use laptops made out of tree bark (don't ask me how that works) to communicate with their pals Karen Elson and the creator of Strawberry Shortcake and other fairies.
Worn for you:
- The scarce ads are for things like street style blogs or vintage stores.
- Articles include topics like toddler gender binary when it comes to pink for little girls and blue for little boys, the history of the Keffiyeh before it became a hipster fixture, how beauty aesthetics were redefined during WWII, interviews with the curators of various fashion museums, and more.
- The pieces about the histories of different types of things like shoes or collars are very educational. It seems like the kind of thing you just know but I like having it laid out for me all neat and simple and more to-the-point than googling "history of clogs."
- The fashion editorials contain no seasonal clothes, and range from independent designers to Vivienne Westwood to thrift. One was inspired by Nancy Drew, another opened with a Velvet Underground quote.
Russh is way, way up there for me. It just feels like me, ya know? Lula puts me in a fairy world, Vogue Paris puts me in a glamorous one, and Russh is just me in my bedroom. Each issue is like a moodboard, be it about a general idea like "experiment with everything" or a more visual thing, like neon/90's/Proenza Spring 2010. Among their interviews with designers and models are people either very outside of fashion (John Waters) or so inside fashion that they're behind the scenes and we don't know about them (set designers.) In other ways -- moodboard collages that include Michel Gondry stills, Marisa Meltzer's list of top 10 songs she listened to alone in her room as a 90's teen, fashion stories inspired by the movie Badlands -- Russh ties in other forms of art with fashion, but with a voice that feels sincere. I feel like all the film references and flash photography of models against a plain white wall could make the magazine really pretentious, but it isn't. For one, the references are always relevant, not like "LET ME GIVE YOU A SPIKE JONZE STILL FOR MY INDIE CRED," and more "this Spike Jonze still works really well with the mood, and we just want to appreciate and celebrate art." It always makes sure to commend a designer for being a good designer and not for creating the It Shoe each season. The layout isn't so minimalist that it feels inaccessible; there is just enough personality to it. Vintage is mixed with high-end labels in the editorials. And Lesley Arfin's column adds the Talking To Your BFF quality. Still, I'm waiting for Russh to get a little nasty. Surely the person you just interviewed wasn't that nice! (Maybe I am just a cynic.) And they just had a story about investment pieces, which made my brow bunch up into a furrowed caterpillar (I wonder if people buy those articles?) Russh comes out every two months and is I think about 17 US bucks. It sounds narcissistic to say it's worth every cent after having said that it feels like me, but lucky for you, it doesn't talk as much as me, especially in this post.

E4 2012 Enkitec Extreme Exadata Expo (Blue Jean) June 14, 2012Posted by Richard Foote in Advert, Exadata, Oracle Indexes.
I'm very pleased to have been invited to speak at the E4 2012 Enkitec Exadata Expo to be held in Dallas, USA on 13-14 August.
It's basically the first ever conference that's dedicated exclusively to Oracle's exciting Exadata platform. It should be a fabulous event, featuring some of the best Oracle talent going around, including Jonathan Lewis, Tanel Poder, Kerry Osbourne, Cary Millsap, Arup Nanda, Fritz Hoogland, Doug Burns, Karen Morton, Maria Colgan and Peter Bach to name but a few. The full list of speakers is listed here.
My talk will naturally be on "Indexing In Exadata", the abstract being:
"There's often confusion regarding how indexing requirements may change when moving to Exadata, with some even suggesting that indexes are perhaps no longer required at all. Considering indexes can consume a considerable proportion of total storage within a database and can be crucial to general database performance, care needs to be taken to fully consider indexing requirements when moving to Exadata. This presentation will discuss the indexing structures unique to Exadata, how indexing considerations change (and don't change), how database usage is critical to indexing requirements and how to implement safely an appropriate indexing strategy when migrating to Exadata that will ensure indexes get used when appropriate without compromising Exadata specific features such as Smart Scans and Storage Indexes."
I've had the opportunity to research and have a good play with Exadata since re-joining the Oracle mothership so I'm looking forward to sharing some of what I've learnt.
Hopefully, you can make this historic event. If not in person, you might still be able to attend the event in a virtual capacity.
I'm hoping to confirm my attendance at another conference in the very near future. More details soon.
And yes, I'm planning to blog at some point about the challenges of having an appropriate indexing strategy on Exadata, busting a few myths in the making while I'm at it 🙂
- 3. Raj - August 23, 2012
Is there any way to get a copy of your presentation "Indexing In Exadata" at E4.

Can you fly the U.S. flag 24 hours a day?
If you have a flag at home you may wonder if it is appropriate to fly the flag on the pole in your yard 24 hours a day. While government and commercial facilities may take the flag down and put it back up each day, residential homes are allowed to keep the flag up all day.
However, there are rules to follow when displaying the flag 24 hours a day. If you choose to keep your flag up then it needs to be illuminated at night.
The codes don't specify exactly how much light needs to be on the flag, but it should at least be enough light so the flag is visible in the darkness.
Those who cannot provide proper light at night should consider taking the flag down at sunset.

Fall 2 Peaces Upcycled Pin Recycled Bent Bottle Cap Peace Pin shipping included
This listing is for one bent play on words pin: Fall 2 Peaces. Totally groovy.
My own pins have gone through the washing machine with little effect, not that I recommend it. They're tough little nuts, though.
Got something to say? Convo me and I'll do my best to oblige by creating a pin of your own sentiment. See photo 3 for ideas. There's no extra charge, but it will take a couple of days. If you want to purchase multiple pins (each will be different), convo me and I'll combine your pins to mail to one address.

Red, Green, Silver Mosaic 8" Mirror Star Suncatcher Christmas three hundred sixty five days a year! It's so sweet and sparkles, sparkles, sparkles! The box was packed and shipped in no time! Luv it! Great service!Reviewed by zabrnaz
Thank you so much for my beautiful memorial urn! It's beauty and sentiment touches my heart every time I look at it. Your patience and dedication to every detail is greatly appreciated, as is your talent and passion for the beautiful artwork you create, which shines at every angle. Thank you and looking forward to ordering again in the future!!!Reviewed by anuckols
The gourd turned out great and I have my Buddy's ashes in a nice place that is not depressing (like the urns you can get when your dog is cremated). Jan is very responsive and the images of my dog on the gourd bring back great memories. The whole process of sending images for the gourd made a very depressing loss much more bearable. Highly recommended.Reviewed by julsjam
I love it! I have wanted this piece for quite some time. . packed and shipped to perfection! Many Thanks!Reviewed by Christine Wilson
Wonderful seller and unique artwork. I love these pins! Thanks so much!Reviewed by sneikirk3
wow! it's amazing. My husband and I lit it right after I opened it. Our daughter will LOVE it! Thanks so much. And the natural coloring is perfect.Reviewed by Christine Wilson
These are just wonderful, thank you so much. Talented artist and excellent customer service.Reviewed by julsjam
What a wonderful piece of art! It's stunning and usable...it's a box! This piece is one of the finest gourds I have ever seen. Beautiful art and very thick walled! It should last for hundreds of years. I read about the artist; Jan Meng in a book titled; "Beyond the basics gourd art" by David Macfarlane. I have also seen her on T.V. and in galleries. I have collected gourd art for many years now. I must say she is at the top of her field and highly respected for her art! The piece was shipped at lighting speed and arrived in perfect condition! It was a pleasure dealing personally with Jan Meng! She kept me informed on every step of the shipment and it was packed to perfection. I must say I got a great deal on the piece! I have seen her work go for much more in the galleries. I will check etsy for more pieces. My fellow gourd art collecting friends are green with envy that I purchased a Jan Meng piece! I'm thrilled!Reviewed by eggshellmosaicgirl
Thank you so much for your assistance in surprise delivery of my order. The mystery remains...for now. It's perfect. Your wonderful pins are out anonymously spreading good will in the universe! Thanks so much.

(I do a cat eye now, and my cardigan is Soft.)
Perhaps this would've been more acceptable somewhere blatantly meant to serve out-of-towners with a weakness for life-size Statue of Liberty snowglobes, but you're supposed to play it cool at the Chelsea! Stop freaking out about the fact that your radiator is pink! Don't take home those shampoo bottles to make into flower vases! Forget the a slight possibility you might encounter Patti Smith in the elevator! I would include a gif here of JamesFranco saying "be cool" to Lindsay in the episode of Freaks and Geeks where she helps him cheat on a test, but gifs are the mark of someone who spends too much time on the Internet, instead of outside being cool. I was even going to tell you that it is the fifth episode, on disc 2 of the DVD box set, and its official title is "Tests and Breasts," but admitting to such knowledge off the top of my head would also be uncool.
I'm obviously not embarrassed enough of that picture to not post it on the Internet though. Look! I'm at the Chelsea Hotel!!!!!
To redeem myself, here are pictures I took of myself alone in our room, without a parent to blame for their existence:
I was thinking of Twin Peaks for its colors and fall vibes and J.W. Anderson Spring 2011 for the pieced-togethered-ness.
Thrifted tee dress, American Apparel button down, random found gold brooch, patch from Poison Apple Studios, Laura Palmer pin from BookHouse Creations. That's Pennsylvania there on the patch, though I had to take what turned out to be an incorrect guess at the right way to rotate it since I'm not one of those people who can tell you the shape of Pennsylvania off the tops of their heads. (Also, Chelsea's internet was not helping. There's a reason no one ever wrote songs about the wifi at the Chelsea Hotel.) I can't tell you its significance, I kind of just decided it had some kind of witch trials connotation in a way that only makes sense in my head, but I have no intentions of finding out because googling "Pennsylvania" gets you a lot of stuff.
Also, I dyed my hair again! Or, Sheba did. There's something insincere about a false ginger but I'm okay with that.
I've been enjoying self decoration by way of stickers lately, and also rings. Jordan Catalano ring from Flamingo Cupcake Studios, vintage hologram Jesus/Mary ring, and gift from Meadham Kirchhoff.
Like a regular Ray McKigney.
Hand-me-down skirt, AA socks, shoes gift from Rachel Antonoff. (I'm a lucky person.)

Do you need vaccinations to travel abroad?
When traveling abroad it is always a good idea to check with your physician as to what health precautions – and maybe even vaccinations – you will need.
Depending on where you are traveling to you may need vaccinations. According to Vaccines.gov, while some vaccinations may be recommended for travelers, others may be required before you are allowed to travel to certain countries.
Some factors that will determine if you need vaccines include risk of exposure to diseases in the country you're visiting, your current age and health, the length of your visit and any risk that you might infect others while travelling.
The types of vaccinations you will need depends on which country – and even which part of the country – you will be traveling to.
The World Health Organization and the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention recommend that all travelers be up-to-date on the following vaccines before traveling abroad:
- Diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis (Tdap)
- Hepatitis B (HBV)
- Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)
- Measles/mumps/rubella (MMR)
- Poliomyelitis (IPV)
Vaccines.gov recommends meeting with your physician before your trip to go over what vaccines you will need, as well as what other medical precautions you may need to take. People with diabetes, HIV, or those who are pregnant or breast feeding may need to take additional precautions.
For more information on traveling abroad, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offer the following resources: http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/traveler-information-center

People. Who are we? I don't care what in the world you think about this family. I don't care if you are a zero population growth proponent or the spawn of Satan himself- when did we get to the point where we feel like we get to tell a mother that her child deserves to die and secretly rejoice a little bit when someone goes through a tragedy. Like the loss of that child's life is the ultimate "I told you so." When did we become so entrenched with our own negativity that we forget that an actual life was lost and that an actual mother is grieving?
I have never had a miscarriage. I've been fortunate and blessed to have had two pregnancies that resulted in two live births. But I've had friends who have had miscarriages and it is awful. I do not pretend to have any inkling of what it feels like to miscarry just because people close to me have walked through it any more than having a black son makes me know what it feels like to be black. But, I think that it is a pain that would be indescribable. My friends have all said that it is a mix of sadness and guilt and shame and confusion and loss and hurt so deep that you wonder if you will ever feel normal again. I would think that no matter if it was your first baby or your 20th baby that loss is loss. Who are we to diminish someone's pain? Who are we to say that that baby didn't matter to it's mother and it's God just because there are 19 other children in the family? Have we gone so far down the rabbit hole that we think one human life is just easily replaced with another one? Have we forgotten that we are told that each one is precious and created for a purpose?
I think that so much of this backlash stems from how we view children. I'm very guilty of it myself. I've often said that I will never be that mother who finds joy in changing diapers or doing laundry even though it is part of the package deal. I do however, find such complete and utter joy in my children- even though they drive me nuts sometimes. :-) I think I'm normal, but I also think that our society has shifted the way that we think about children. They are no longer viewed as blessings. They are seen as something we "do" for 18 years. We have lost out on the magic of what it means to care for someone.
We are so tied to our technology and our careers and our pettiness that we forget that there are actual children wanting us to delight in them. Not to get too religious here, but I'd like to think that if we are going to call ourselves Godly parents, that we would remember that God revels in our very existence and delights in the uniqueness that we each bring and the utter JOY that gives him. There are times when I look at my children with that kind of love and amazement and times that I can't muster that for all the gold in Fort Knox. But it doesn't mean that I shouldn't STRIVE for that. I should make it my goal as a mother to make them feel that they are delighted in. I saw this the other day on pinterest and it hit me like a ton of bricks.
How true is this and the way we so often ultimately view our job as mothers raising the next generation? I think that's why people like Michelle Duggar get crucified. We just can't comprehend that someone can find so much delight in each little blessing. We believe that it is out of the realm of possibility that someone could possibly like raising 19 children. I hear her called naive. I hear her called an idiot. And I wonder if those throwing insults are secretly just a little bit jealous of the pure joy that she finds in raising children. Seeing someone doing it well makes us feel bad about the way that we are doing it and instead of rejoicing that someone has found their bliss, we work extra hard to tear them down. When they announced that they were pregnant with their 20th child, people said that they were irresponsible, unfair to their other children and why couldn't they just be happy with what they had. It is just inconceivable to most people that each one of their children is a BLESSING when we are bombarded with the message every single day that children are a burden and that caring for more than the average 2 children detracts from our enjoyment of life. People- our children ARE our enjoyment in life.
I'm just as guilty as the next person at sometimes looking at my children and thinking that I need a break or that I need to do "something more" with my life. We've been tricked into thinking that being a mother is not enough. We've been told so many times that money, success and happiness can't happen with too many children in tow. But what if we took a step back and remembered that our source of joy comes in our community and relationships with other people? What if we remembered that the world's definition of success is not the same as God's definition? What if we remembered that the lives of the children we are entrusted with matter more than all the other "stuff"? What would that look like? Would that look like the pure joy that Michelle Duggar has for raising children? What if that wasn't so radical? What if delighting in each creation was the norm, instead of the exception?
My hope for myself today (and each day) is that I will live as though I am raising human beings, not managing inconveniences.

11103 Euromax DPF to suit Citroen Berlingo 1.6 HDi DV6TED4
Delphi & Euromax Silicone Carbide (SiC):
Delphi & Euromax SiC DPFs are constructed using a Silicone Carbon (SiC) core. SiC DPFs take longer to manufacture and have a higher melting point at 2700 Degrees C. Where as Cordierite (C) DPFs have a lower melting point of 1200 Degrees. This means that your DPF is much less likely to suffer overheating from another system failure such as turbo seals, stuck EGR valve or leaky injectors. SiC is physically harder and stronger than Cordierite, which means that your new DPF is much more resistant to physical damage due to bumps etc.
Ecore & Euromax Cordierite:
Cordierite (C) DPFs have a lower melting point of 1200 Degrees C. This is double the expected maximum DPF operational temperature of 600 Degrees C.
** All DPFs are have a stainless steel housing construction, corrosion resistant with tough housing and brackets. **
Precious Metal Wash:
Precious metal (Palladium, Platinum and Rhodium) washed ceramic filter on vehicles that use a dry regeneration system for their DPF. This allows a much more efficient and reliable regeneration process and at temperatures around 350-400 degrees compared to 600 degrees C.
Fitting Kit:
A fitting kit is with all the necessary parts for an effective installation and even new rubber hangers, where applicable.
:: Delphi – 1 year 40,000 K warranty against faulty manufacture.
:: Euromax & Ecore – 2 Year Warranty under manufacturer's terms.
Technical Support:
Available on DPF and installation precautions and procedures.

Byblos بيبلوس, also known by its Arabic name of Jbeil جبَيل, is an ancient phoenician city located about 35 Kilometers (23 miles) north of the capital Beirut in modern day Lebanon. The city has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Byblos is a true microcosm of the civilizations that have populated Lebanon over the centuries. Arguably believed to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, the modern port city of Byblos is built upon multiple layers of ruins, dating back to as early as the Stone Age and extending to the more recent Ottoman days. A visit to Byblos is a chance to walk through the annals of Lebanese history and experience firsthand the diverse cultures that have made this area a mosaic of civilizations. Byblos is not simply a picturesque seaside town, but has a history that has been closely tied to the Mediterranean for millennia.
Get in
If you are coming from the north or from Beirut, you can easily take a taxi or bus to Byblos. Remember that Byblos is the historical name and many Lebanese refer to the city as Jbeil.
Get around
Jbeil is a small city so getting around should not be a problem for tourists. There is a free shuttle service between the old souk and the port, it is electric cars and they run whenever you get in. You can find many taxis and buses in Jbeil and you can contact the Byblos taxi company at 009619949494 24h/24h 7 days a week.
The old city of Byblos shelters a souk (market in Arabic) extremely popular for its souvenirs and antiques.
Jbeil is also home to many supermarkets and stores and you can find everything from clothes to electronics to home appliances...
Byblos is has many restaurants and cafes, including Lebanese, Chinese food and fast food restaurants such as Pizza Hut and McDonald. Byblos Old port is also home to many restaurants that mainly serve sea food from which you can have a great-panoramic sea view. The old souk in jbeil also contains many great side-way cafes and restaurants with a great view and a romantic atmosphere.
Byblos Fishing Club. This restaurant is located on the Mediterranean Sea. It's the perfect place to have a great lunch or romantic dinner. Decorating the walls are pictures of many international personalities that have visited the restaurant, including Brigitte Bardot, Jaques Chirac, Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra and Fraga Iribarne.
Eating here is one of the most memorable experiences you can have in Lebanon. The food is great, the atmosphere is wonderful-especially in Summer-and compared to many other restaurants in the area it is very affordable.
e.This restaurant is located in the old souk area. They have both a French and Italian Menu. They serve excellent Lebanese wines, and the Italian food is authentic and tasty.
Jbeil has some open air bars and clubs. These pubs and bars provide music, drinks and great atmosphere, they are mainly located in the old souk. Prices mainly range from 10$ to 30$. And you can always go have a free walk among these side by side pubs.
To the North of Byblos Harbour, overlooking the beach there is a great hotel called Hotel Ahiram. Walking distance to everything. Plenty of hotels all over the city.
Get out
If you want to travel to any other part of Lebanon , contact any taxi/bus driver and he'll know how to take you there. If you're travelling outside Lebanon , get a taxi to the airport in beirut ( Rafic Hariri International Airport) and book your tickets there.

Scientists Cook Up Artificial Leaf, Quantum Dots for Solar Cells
"Her green plastic watering can/For her fake Chinese (silicon) plant/In the fake (silicon) earth."
One of the most promising sources of future energy is solar power. We're currently only harvesting a minuscule fraction of the estimated 12.2 billion kilowatt-hours of solar energy that hits the Earth every day [source]. While nuclear fission and fusion power also will be critical to the future of man, solar power may be usable on planetoids that lack fissile fuels like uranium and fussile fuels like deuterium.
Before we can get to such ambitious terrestrial or interplanetary objectives, much work needs to be done. A pair of new studies published by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Colorado School of Mines offer intriguing tools that could one day be applied to making solar power more efficient.
I. Growing a Solar "Tree"
Scientists often find that nature has produced designs that rival any that mankind has cooked up. A perfect example of that is the tree.
A dominant plant species across much of the world, trees have solved much of the problems that have puzzled alternative energy scientists. They not only store collected solar energy in polysaccharides, but also manage an immensely large solar collecting surface via their multipurpose evolutionary invention, the leaf.
Using the chemical model of the leaf, researchers at MIT created a poker-sized silicon cell, doped with special catalysts and controlling electronics. The team reports that the device is capable of producing an abundantly positive energy balance by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. The reactions it carries out are similar to those that occur inside chloroplasts in photosynthetic plant cells.
The emitted gases could be harvested and stored for use powering a fuel cell. Daniel Nocera, Ph.D. [profile], who led the team, describes [press release], "A practical artificial leaf has been one of the Holy Grails of science for decades. We believe we have done it. The artificial leaf shows particular promise as an inexpensive source of electricity for homes of the poor in developing countries. Our goal is to make each home its own power station. One can envision villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology."
Professor Nocera reports that his leaf actually beats nature's design in efficiency by a factor of 10, and may be even more efficient in the future. Of course it lacks natural leafy plants' ability to heal from damage, self-replicate, and self-generate from ground resources. Nonetheless, the efficiency mark is an impressive achievement.
The key to that success is special nickel-cobalt catalyst that Professor Nocera cooked up. Much like photosynthetic pigments that use metal ions as their active center, these catalysts use the harvest solar energy to perform chemical reactions.
John Turner of the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado created a similar "solar leaf" a decade ago, but it relied on expensive rare metal catalysts. Since then, many other researchers have created new solar leaf designs, but most of their designs remained quite expensive or lacked efficiency.
By contrast Professor Nocera's design is far cheaper, while maintaining a respectable efficiency.
The key obstacle now to this technology being practically suited for mass production is the lack of availability of cheap, durable fuel cells. Currently fuel cells capable of producing enough energy to power a modern house remain quite expensive, costing tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. Still, it is reasonable to hope that similar breakthroughs will one day be able to drop the cost of fuel cells enough that the entire system will become feasible for mass deployment.
MIT's research was funded by The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Chesonis Family Foundation. It was presented at the 241st National Meeting of the American Chemical Society(ACS).
II. Connecting the Quantum Dots
Quantum dots are outlandish human-constructed atoms that confine electrons to a three dimensional space in a crystal-like motif. The electrons are capable of absorbing photons to form excitons and the properties of quantum dots themselves are somewhat like bulk semiconductors, making them an attractive target for photodetectors or solar cells.
Scientists are still struggling to understand the complex structures they've created, though. The dots operate on quantum physics rules far different from those observed on a macroscopic scale.
New research at the Colorado School of Mines offers evidence in support of a controversial theory called multiple exciton generation (MEG), which suggests that a quantum dot's electron that has absorbed light energy from a single photon can transfer that energy to multiple other electrons.
Previous studies have been remarkably inconsistent on the possible relationship between quantum dot size and MEG events, thus it was an attractive target for simulation, says the research team.
Using a computer cluster funded by a NSF grant the team revealed that each size of quantum dot is capable of performing MEG for a select slice of the solar spectrum. Smaller dots have the highest efficiency of electricity generation from their spectrum-dependent MEG events.
The team's leader, Professor Mark Lusk [profile], says that the results indicate that using a mix of quantum dots could produce superior electricity generation capabilities in future solar cells. He states [press release], "We can now design nanostructured materials that generate more than one exciton from a single photon of light, putting to good use a large portion of the energy that would otherwise just heat up a solar cell."
The results were published in a paper [abstract] in the peer-reviewed journal ACS Nano.

Solar energy will never be as cheap as other energy.
Methane is by far the cheapest.

I'm impressed imagine being able to take CO2 out of the air on a large scale, while producing energy, then we would only have to worry about pollution not the global warming fiasco. I don't know if it will ever be good enough to make much of a dent though.
This kind of got me interested in which tree's produce the most oxygen and apparently algae produces the most (Kelp).

The 26th Annual Cactus Classic kicked off in Scottsdale, AZ at SRS Raceway. The weather couldn\'t have been any better at a sunny 80 degrees with a slight breeze to help keep cool. SRS is an outdoor track that is typically ran wet during the year, but for the Cactus race they run it dry and let it \"groove\" up.Between high track temperatures and plenty of consistent drivers, the groove comes in rather quick. The layout consisted of many peaky jumps with a risk-reward rhythm section that make for great racing.

Crandon may be the 2nd to last race of the season for the Traxxas TORC Series, but it\'s what you might consider the Daytona 500 of off-road racing. With two days of racing as well as the Amsoil Cup race all jammed into one weekend, Crandon is the perfect opportunity for racers to lock up points leads and take the championship in one swift blow to the competition. Winning an Amsoil Cup trophy means that your name is forever engraved into the most historic trophy for off-roaders, the Stanley Cup of their segment if you will. The track is incredible and its no wonder it\'s called \"The Big House\" with sky jumps abound and drop offs that hurl trucks 200+ feet while dropping them nearly 3 stories down to the track below. To win at Crandon is an honor every off-road racer dreams of, to take the Amsoil Cup is something only the best of the best will ever do in their lifetimes.

Today we are in Seattle.
I was woken this morning by the 3 kids doing a horrific rendition of the 1980's pop song "Don't You Want Me?". Considering they stayed up watching "Underdog" later than Mrs. Grumpy or I, they sure had a lot of energy when they woke up. I had no idea 80's pop was in the movie's soundtrack. Or maybe they changed the channel after we passed out.
After getting them dressed (which required me threatening to volunteer the boys for some electrical conductance experiments) we went down to breakfast. We'd run out of Diet Cokes, so I wanted coffee to wake up.
Unfortunately, the hotel had somehow managed to run out of coffee by the time we made it downstairs. Fortunately, there was a Costco nearby. So we reloaded on critical (and not-so-critical) supplies (20 lbs. box of laundry soap, 48 cans of Diet Coke, 1 box of pancake mix [NO! I HAVE NO FREAKIN' IDEA WHY WE NEEDED TO BUY PANCAKE MIX!], tomatoes [just in case, I guess], and tape) and I bought a soda cup at the snack bar and kept refilling it. Of course, by this time the kids were afraid they'd die of starvation (they hadn't eaten in what, an hour?), so they all wanted hot dogs, too.
On a side note, is there anyone else out there who remembers the married days before you had kids and a cheap date was a trip to Costco and 2 hot dogs for $3, and you thought that was awesome?
Then we dragged the kids down to Pike Place market and the aquarium. As we drove, the kids were stunned to see the Space Needle really exists. They'd assumed it was just a prop on iCarly.
Aquariums are cropping up on every corner in North America these days, but there are very few that I really like. Seattle is one of them (the others are Vancouver and Boston, though I haven't been to either in years). Actually, I haven't been to that many aquariums when I think about it. I know there are many others, but none of them in North America have octopi I want to vote for.
As we walked into the first exhibit hall, a guy came up to Marie and said "Hey, little lady, would you like to touch my sea cucumber?"
I was about to call security until I realized he worked there, and, indeed, was carrying around a live sea cucumber in a big plastic bowl. I looked around and saw quite a few people carrying sea creatures to show kids, and was reassured that a pedophile hadn't snuck into the aquarium. Or, if he had, at least he wasn't hiding in the bathroom.
It's really embarrassing when your kids start hitting each other in a fight over which of the starfish in the "hands-on" tide pool is Patrick. Or ask the nice lady working there why he isn't wearing pants, like on the show.
While walking between the buildings I noticed this interesting architectural feature overhead.
As you can see, it's a door to nowhere hanging off the 2nd floor. I secretly hoped that on the inside of the door was a sign that said "smoking patio".
After the aquarium we wandered around Pike Place Market. I like this place, and could spend all day browsing. I have a fond memory from the 1990's when I was in Seattle interviewing for neurology residency. Due to flight schedules I had a whole day to kill, and spent it wandering around the waterfront and Pike Place area. I dodged flying fish, bought books, had someone take my picture next to a cardboard cutout of a T-101 Terminator (I figured in a few months patients would see me that way), and ate anything that looked good (which was a lot.). By the end of the day I was poorer, fatter, and barely fit into my suit for the interview the next day.
But now, with 3 wild kids, the best you can do is window shop and keep them out of stores where they might break something.
One item here that caught my attention was this poster for a lighthearted musical. I was somewhat sorry to see the show's run was over by the time we visited.
Seattle has some things that other cities just can't match. My kids, in particular, loved the famous Wall of Gum (picture below). This is exactly what it sounds like. Since 1993 people have been sticking their gum on a wall at the market, and it's now several inches thick. It's been named the 2nd germiest attraction in the world after the Blarney stone.
Of course, all 3 of them wanted to add gum to it. We didn't have any (shit! why didn't we think of that at Costco?). So to prevent widespread unrest I bought an overpriced pack of gum, and they all chewed a piece and then stuck it up.
(yes, that's Frank. Due to him turning a kid in for eating clay, he's now in the Wingnut Elementary School witness protection program).
Immediately after this picture was taken, Frank, for reasons known only to him, rubbed his hands all over everyone else's gum! So I was assigned the job of slathering him with Purell (don't leave home without it).
We stopped at Ivar's for dinner and
And that's the way it is.
