PodCamp Boulder 2009, held at the Threadless/SkinnyCorp office on Pearl Street, was a great success, thanks to Jeremy Tanner and the awesome Boulder new media community. I didn't take any photos, so here's some I stole off of Flickr:
PCB'09 Diary:
7PM 1/23: PodCampers convene to decide the fate of tomorrow's unconference. Much beer is consumed, (thanks to Slice of Lime,) though the only bottle openers present are a fork and Griffin's wallet. Topics discussed include podcasting, wordpress plugins and hacks, Twittiquette, and animated .GIF's. I sign up to talk about API's and the Semantic Web.
2:30AM 1/24: I go to bed, and wish I hadn't spent so much potential sleep time on tweaking my presentation for tomorrow.
9AM: Sleepy PodCampers devour Einstein bagels + coffee.
10AM: Neil Simon gives a great presentation on creating a WordPress plugin, something I was learning anyway for this blog. Includes handouts of all code, commented and annotated. I love my geeks.
11AM: Jeremy Tanner and friends talk about WordPress hacks. I never realized how many awesome WP plugins exist.
12PM: Discussion about Amazon's EC2 elastic cloud services, led by Ronald Lewis. I've always wanted to give this a shot, but I always figured I had to pay an initial fee and be a l33t sysadmin to get started. In fact, Amazon charges only by bandwidth/storage, and has tons of pre-configured server images. I can launch a server instance from my iPod, and therefore feel like a badass. Thanks Ronald!
1PM: Eric, Griffin and I retire to Illegal Pete's for some burrito action. We return to an open keg of K-9 Winter Ale, courtesy of Flying Dog, just in time for me to drink some courage before my 2PM preso!
2PM: I lead a relatively well-attended discussion about API's and the future of the semantic web. It is filled with nuggets of brilliance from all involved. Afterwards, I have a cool dialogue with Jed White, and decide he is effin' smart. See my presentation here.
3PM: After lots of meandering, I end up in a talk about advertising and new media, especially as they relate to podcasts. We decide that, while targeted advertisements via semantic contextual analysis (ie. GMail, Dapper et al) are cool, there is another variable involved: reputation. I am much more likely to buy or be interested in a product if it is directly mentioned by someone whose opinion I trust than if it just appears in their ad area, even it's directly related to what I'm reading about.
4PM: The moment everyone has been waiting for arrives: PodCampers morph temporarily into zombies in order to learn the Thriller dance, led by Naomi. Jeremy posts a video online, to the chagrin/amusement of all involved:
Unfortunately, I'm about dead center in the video from :50 on.
5PM: More beer is consumed. Cornbread hates being called Cornbread. I bid a sad adieu to my PodFriends, and they head to Goremet (scary movies + scary food) in Denver. A long, great day comes to an end, and I leave feeling inspired.
Thanks again to all organizers, sponsors and attendees! This was an awesome event, and proves that a conference does not require lots of $$$ and expensive speakers to foster truly brilliant conversation.

Before founding Google with fellow Stanford graduate student Larry Page, Sergey Brin was looking for a job just like the rest of us with an online resume.
The resume is innocuous enough with an expected Ph.D in 1997 and several jobs writing algorithms and code, including a movie-rating project written in Python, but there's no objective in the resume. Instead, as Business Insider found out, the objective is hidden in the HTML, and can be seen if a user decides to view the source code.
<!–
Objective:
 A large office, good pay, and very little work. Frequent expense-account trips to exotic lands would be a plus.–>
U.S. & World
While we don't quite know the square footage of Brin's office space, it's probably big enough and he likely makes his own hours tooling around Google X. As for money -- he's worth around $31.8 billion -- and he and other Google executives have used the corporate jets several times for "exotic trips" to places such as Paris, Cancun, Tahiti, Puerto Vallarta, Spain and Africa.

Smog-eating tiles gobble up air pollution Time:2017/01/19 14:51:21 Hit:2100
Los Angeles and London (CNN) -- Can the roof of your house help you breathe easier by reducing the amount of harmful pollutants from urban air?
"Yes," claims John Renowden, vice president of technology at Boral Roofing, a U.S. company that has introduced a line of roof tiles that they say have pollution-busting properties.
Based near Los Angeles, the most ozone-polluted city in the U.S., according to 2012 rankings by the American Lung Association, the company says its "Smog-Eating Tiles" improve air quality by neutralizing smog-forming nitrogen oxides released by most vehicles (read more about smog in our fact box).
The tiles are coated with titanium dioxide, a photocalyst that can oxidize harmful air pollutants emitted in the burning of fossil fuels. When exposed to natural light, the titanium dioxide breaks down nitrogen oxides in the air and turns them into harmless calcium nitrate.
We have to move past our oil dependence but it won't happen overnight
John Renowden, Boral Roofing"Calcium nitrate ... washes off your roof with normal precipitation and is a regular garden fertilizer," said Renowden. He notes that the tiles typically add between $600-$1000 to the price of tiling an average roof.
He adds that over a one-year period, the tiles on a 2,000 sq/ft house can oxidize nitrogen oxides "equivalent to driving 10,000 miles a year in your car."

Boral Roofing claims to be the first construction company in the U.S. to introduce titanium dioxide coatings to roofing products.
The technology originates in Japan and has been adopted in Europe by a number of industries. In the last few years, it has been used in the production of several products, including eco-friendly cement, architectural panels and paints.
The de-polluting properties of titanium dioxide, a compound commonly used as a white pigment in paints and plastics, were tested in a European Commission-backed project in 2005.
Air pollution is one of today's biggest urban problems.
It poses a serious threat to the health of city dwellers, according to experts. Air pollution -- outdoor and indoor -- is estimated to cause more than two million deaths a year worldwide, according to Maria Neira, director of health and environment at the World Health Organization.
"It is definitely one of the biggest health challenges we are confronted with today," she said. Exposure to urban air pollutants can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases and cancer as well as trigger asthma attacks, she added.
A recent study on the UK's air quality by MIT pollution experts Steve Yim and Steven Barrett found that traffic pollution is killing more people than road accidents per year, causing 13,000 premature deaths on an annual basis.
The best way to tackle the problem is to clean up the source
Janice Nolen, American Lung AssociationA brief uptick in traffic-related air pollution may also be enough to increase a person's short-term risk of stroke, another report found in February this year.
Four in 10 Americans live in counties with dangerous levels of either ozone or particle pollution, according to the American Lung Association.
The organization's recent State of the Air 2012 report found that California is home to many of the country's most polluted cities, with Los Angeles continuing to top the list of ozone-polluted cities thanks to its heavy road traffic and trade ports.
Renowden says that more sustainable solutions are needed in the fight against urban air pollution.
"We have to move past our oil dependence but it won't happen overnight," he said.
Read more: Hacking the city for a greener future
Janice Nolen, national policy adviser at the American Lung Association, says that rather than dealing with the harmful effects of air pollution, the focus should be on tackling the problem at source.
"What we have found historically in any kind of pollution is that the best way to tackle the problem is to clean up the sources," she said, "rather than trying cleaning it up afterwards when it's in the air."
"If you can keep those raw ingredients that make up ozone from coming out of the tailpipes and the smokestacks, then you don't have to worry so much about cleaning it up later on," adds Nolen.

Executive Summary:
|As a command shell and scripting environment, Windows PowerShell is quickly proving to be one of the most valuable tools available to system administrators. PowerShell particularly shines in its support for Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), a management technology built into Windows OSs. WMI provides a comprehensive structure for accessing information on local and remote Windows computers and managing those computers. (You can find more information about WMI at http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/pnppwr/wmi.)
With PowerShell, you can take advantage of the full range of WMI capabilities. And the best part is that in many cases, you need to enter only a single line of code to access WMI. These "one-liners" can return a wealth of information and can simplify many of your administrative tasks. In addition, the procedures for working with WMI in PowerShell are consistent across the WMI spectrum, making it easier to adapt what you learn to other areas.
Your Basic Command: Get-WmiObject
The key to WMI access in PowerShell is the get-wmiobject cmdlet, which lets you access any WMI class in any WMI namespace on a system. Each class provides access to a complete set of related information about a particular system. For example, the Win32_OperatingSystem class gives information such as the OS name, build number, service pack version, system directory, and many other details.
A good place to start is to learn how to retrieve the online help available for the get-wmiobject cmdlet. The following PowerShell command calls the basic help file:
help get-wmiobject
In this command, the help keyword is actually a built-in alias for the get-help cmdlet. You can retrieve the same results by entering the following command:
get-help get-wmiobject
Figure 1 shows the results returned by either of these statements. In addition to providing basic information about the cmdlet, the help file also provides commands that point you to additional resources. One of these commands, shown in the following statement, lets you retrieve more detailed information about the get-wmiobject cmdlet:
help get-wmiobject -detailed
Finding and Accessing Classes
One bit of information you might have gleaned from the detailed help file, particularly in the examples it gives, is that you must specify a WMI class if you want to access specific system information. If you've worked with WMI or created scripts that access WMI, you're probably already familiar with the various classes available to particular namespaces. However, a namespace can include many classes, so unless you know the name of the class you want to access, you need a way to identify those classes.
In PowerShell, the easiest way to retrieve a list of classes is to use the following command:
get-wmiobject -list
The command uses the -list parameter to retrieve a list of the classes. By default, the command retrieves the list from the root\cimv2 namespace on the local computer. Figure 2 shows a sample of results returned by the command.
Many of the WMI classes that you'll want to access are within the root\cimv2 namespace. However, you can specify any namespace when you run the get-wmiobject cmdlet. The following statement retrieves a list of classes in the root\microsoft\sqlserver\computermanagement namespace:
get-wmiobject -list -namespace ` root\microsoft\sqlserver\computermanagement
Note that the backtick (`) at the end of the first line indicates that the command continues on the next line. You can also put the entire command (without the backtick) on one line.
In addition to specifying a namespace, you can also specify the computer on which to target your PowerShell command. You can use the following statement to retrieve a list of classes from the server05 computer:
get-wmiobject -list `
-computer server05 -namespace `
Filtering Your Results
In PowerShell, whenever you call the get-wmiobject cmdlet, you can specify a namespace, a computer, or both. You can also send the results of a get-wmiobject command down the PowerShell pipeline to another command. This ability is especially useful if you want to limit the results returned by your statement. For example, suppose you want to see a list of classes that contain the word "service." You can create a statement such as the following:
get-wmiobject -list | where `
\{$_.name -like "*service*"\}
In this example, the list of classes is sent down the pipeline to a where-object command (represented by the where alias). The cmdlet filters the list so that only classes whose name contains service are returned by the statement. Figure 3 shows a sample of results returned from running this statement. Notice that each class listed contains the word service.
From this filtered list, you can more easily identify a particular class that might be useful to you. For example, you might want to use the Win32_Service class to retrieve information about the services running on a system. After you've identified a class, you simply call the get-wmiobject cmdlet along with the -class parameter and the class name as a value for that parameter, as shown in the following example:
get-wmiobject -class win32_service
As Figure 4 shows, the statement returns a list of services running on your system. Notice that each service listing includes details about the service, such as the service name, state, and status.
When you specify the -class parameter in a get-wmiobject command, you don't need to include the name of the parameter, only the class name. Therefore, the following command returns the same results as the preceding example:
get-wmiobject win32_service
Regardless of whether you include the parameter name in the command, you can pipe the result of the command to other commands, as you saw earlier. For example, suppose you want to see only a list of service names, without all the other details. You can pipe the command results to a select-object command, as shown in the following example:
get-wmiobject win32_service ` | select name
Note that the select keyword is a built-in alias for the select-object cmdlet. Because the cmdlet specifies the name property, only those values (the names of the services) are returned when you run the statement. Figure 5 shows the much simpler list the statement now returns.
By taking advantage of the PowerShell pipeline, you can retrieve very specific information, making it easier to locate the data you require. You can then use the information you retrieve from one command to set up another command. For example, suppose you want to retrieve information about the Browser service. You can use the following statement to retrieve information:
get-wmiobject win32_service `
-filter "name='browser'"
As you can see, the get-wmiobject command again specifies the Win32_Service class. But this time, the command also includes the -filter parameter, which specifies that the results should contain only the service named Browser. As Figure 6 demonstrates, the statement returns the values of the ExitCode, Name, ProcessId, StartMode, State, and Status properties.
Methods and Properties
Although the information Figure 6 displays is useful, it's only part of the results that are available when you call a WMI object. In fact, each WMI object you retrieve contains a set of properties and methods that you can access whenever you call that object. To see the properties and methods that an object supports, you can use the following statement:
get-wmiobject win32_service `
-filter "name='browser'" | gm
This statement uses the gm alias to call the get-member cmdlet. Member refers to the object's collection of methods and properties. As the cmdlet's name suggests, it returns a list of members for that specific object, as Figure 7 shows. You'll no doubt use this cmdlet regularly in PowerShell to learn what properties and methods you can call. For example, one of the properties returned by the preceding statement is DisplayName. This property stores the service name that is displayed in the Services administration tool. You can use a get-wmiobject command to call the DisplayName property, as shown in the following statement:
(get-wmiobject win32_service -filter ` "name='browser'").displayName
As you saw in earlier examples, the get-wmiobject command retrieves a WMI object for the Browser service on the local computer. The command is then enclosed in parentheses so that it's treated as a single unit. (You can also put the results in a variable, then call the variable.) After the closing parenthesis, you simply add a period and then the property name (.displayName). Figure 8 shows results similar to what you'll receive when you run the statement. In this case, the value of the DisplayName property is "Computer Browser."
You might want to see a list of an object's methods without having to view all the members of that object. The easiest way to do this is to modify your PowerShell statement:
get-wmiobject win32_service `
-filter "name='browser'" | `
gm -member method
In the statement, you simply add the -member parameter—a shortened version of the -memberType parameter—to the get-member command and specify "method" as the parameter value. Because no other parameters begin with member, you can use the shortened version and PowerShell will know which parameter to use. As Figure 9 shows, your statement results now include only methods.
Notice that the list includes the StopService method, which is used for stopping the service. You can call this method just like you called a property:
(get-wmiobject win32_service -filter `
When you run this statement, PowerShell calls the method on the WMI object, which in turns stops the service. You can verify whether the service has stopped by running the following command:
get-wmiobject win32_service `
-filter "name='browser'"
The State property indicates whether the service is running, as Figure 10 shows. If you want to restart the service, simply call the StartService method, as shown in the following statement:
(get-wmiobject win32_service `
-filter "name='browser'").startService()
Building from the Basics
Of course, the example one-liners shown in this article represent only a tip of the iceberg with regard to how you can use PowerShell to interact with WMI. At the same time, the examples demonstrate the basic concepts that apply to most of your WMI-related tasks. As you've seen, the key is to call the get-wmiobject cmdlet along with the appropriate class and parameters. In other words, just plug in the right values, and PowerShell does the rest.

Three men were last week shot dead in a south Durban tavern after a "remark about a patron's penis size" turned seriously nasty, South Africa's Independent Online reports.
Police inspector Michael Read explained that two groups of men were in the Merseyside Pub and Tavern in Umbilo enjoying the football clash between England and Croatia. He said: "At some stage, one man from each group went into the tavern's toilets and there was an argument over the size of their penises.
"At some stage some of the men went outside and there was a scuffle. One group returned to the tavern to watch the game and the other group remained outside. The men then went to their cars, opened their boots and returned to the tavern where they opened fire on the five men."
Tavern employee Michelle Andrew recounted: "Things turned nasty very quickly and they decided to have a fight outside. I decided to herd regular customers to the back of the bar when one group of men, who were regulars at the pub, walked back in.
"I was trying to get patrons inside and to close the door but they were big, strong guys and they just barged in. One of the guys who was killed actually pulled me out of the way."
Police named the victims as Nick Jansen van Rensburg, 57, and Rory Menzes, 40 - both shot in the chest - and Shawn Strydom, 33, who was shot in the head. All three died at the scene.
Andrew concluded: "One of the patrons had been coming here for twelve years. I can't explain what it was like to sit on a bloody floor and comfort people you've known for a long time as they are dying."
Inspector Read reported: "The station commissioner of the Umbilo police station then formed a task team and by 4am four men had been arrested." ®

Sweet love, renew thy force; be it not said
Thy edge should blunter be than appetite,
Which but to-day by feeding is allay'd,
To-morrow sharpened in his former might:
So, love, be thou, although to-day thou fill
Thy hungry eyes, even till they wink with fulness,
To-morrow see again, and do not kill
The spirit of love, with a perpetual dulness.
Let this sad interim like the ocean be
Which parts the shore, where two contracted new
Come daily to the banks, that when they see
Return of love, more blest may be the view;
As call it winter, which being full of care,
Makes summer's welcome, thrice more wished, more rare.
Sonnet 56: Translation to modern English
Sweet Love, renew the strength you once had. Don't let it be said that your love is more blunt than lust, which can be only temporarily allayed by satisfaction and comes back the next day, even stronger and sharper. Be like that, Love. Although you see so much of your love today that you want to shut your eyes with satiety, open them again tomorrow and don't kill the love you have in you by blunting it. Let this sad separation be like the ocean between two shores, where two newly betrothed lovers come daily to the banks, and when they catch the occasional sight of each other, feel more blessed. Or call this period of separation winter, which being so miserable, makes the beginning of summer, so longed for, so much more special.

Dokdok is a scarecrow who can talk and move. His friends are Nouras the Sea gull, Gharab the crow, and Abou Fasada the bird. One day Dokdok wakes up in pain and he finds out that Dada the mouse is biting his feet in her attempt to steal his shoes. She succeeds in stealing the shoes and takes them home to sell so that she can buy shoes for herself. Dokdok calls on the cat for help. The cat cuts the mouse's tail off. In return for the tail, the mouse must find many things for all the friends. The mouse soon learns it was all a trick to give back Dokdok's shoes. The mouse finally gets its tail back but doesn't know how to put it back on. The friends send her to the spider to teach the mouse how to sew and knit so that she can sew her tail back on and be useful rather than have to steal from others.

Merck Serono, Neopharma in medicines deal
Abu Dhabi, December 3, 2012
Germany's Merck Serono said it would team up with an Abu Dhabi firm to produce medicines for the domestic and regional markets, the first multinational of its kind to make branded products in the UAE.
Merck Serono, the pharmaceutical arm of Merck KGaA , will initially produce two of its products at Neopharma's facilities in Abu Dhabi, the German firm's first such partnership in the Middle East, the company's CEO said.
"The Middle East is very important and the fastest growing region for our products," Stefan Oschmann told reporters. "We plan to meet 100 percent of the regional demand for the products," he added.
Oschmann declined to give specific figures but said revenues from emerging markets accounted for a third of Merck's total.
The two products to be produced at Neopharma's facilities are Euthyrox, a synthetic thyroid hormone and Glucophage, for people suffering from type 2 diabetes.
Production of both branded products will start in 2013.
The UAE suffers from a high prevalence of diabetes. Some 827,000 people between the ages of 20 and 79 have diabetes in the UAE, according to the Ministry of Health.
Treatment of diabetes accounts for about 40 percent of the UAE's overall healthcare expenditure, Amin al Amiri, assistant under-secretary for Medical practice & licence at the ministry of health said.
"This alliance will provide increased supply of trusted branded medicines needed to help ease the diabetes crisis which is straining the financial resources of the UAE," he said.
The Middle East is the largest market for Merck's diabetes drug, Glucophage, which is currently imported from Europe. - Reuters

WM6002, Reviewed October 1993
Hazardous substances can enter your body in three ways: they can be ingested, inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
Common sense and a few pieces of safety equipment can protect you from exposure to hazardous substances.
Preventive measures and equipment you may need for protection from different household hazardous products are discussed in this guide.
Before using household hazardous products, always consider how to reduce the risk of exposure. Limit exposure to hazardous chemicals by selecting less toxic products.
Wearing safety equipment should be your last option for protection since it does not protect people and pets who share your working environment.
Too many people risk unnecessary injury, poisoning, or even long-term health complications by using hazardous products without proper protection.
The comfort, money or time that is lost in using the correct protective equipment and procedures is of little consequence compared to the potential costs of poor health, time lost to illness and medical bills if safety is neglected.
The type of safety equipment you may need depends upon the type of risk and ingredients to which you are exposed. Safety guidelines include:
When purchasing safety equipment, tell the salesperson what products you will be using so that they can help you select the appropriate equipment. Use the tables in this publication as guidelines for the recommended type of safety equipment for specific household activities.
For further information on your safety equipment, contact the manufacturer's technical department. The phone number should be listed in the product's instructions.
Ingestion of most toxic materials can be avoided by not putting anything in your mouth while working with a hazardous product and by cleaning all contaminated surfaces.
Many types of materials pose inhalation hazards. Each type varies in its degree of toxicity and physical hazard.
Good ventilation is essential when using hazardous products.
Different types of masks and respirators are available for protection from specific ingredients. This equipment protects only the wearer and leaves others in the area unprotected. In environments with limited oxygen, an oxygen-supplying respirator is necessary. Masks and respirators are not adequate protection in this type of environment.
The respirator or dust mask you choose should be approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for the particular ingredients you will be exposed to (Table 1). There are two kinds of dust masks: those with NIOSH approval and those without it. Look for product labels with the phrase "NIOSH approved" or for the NIOSH approval number that consists of the letters "TC" followed by two sets of three numbers (for example: TC-343-595).
Respirators do not remove all the hazardous chemicals from the air you are breathing, but they do reduce the chemical's concentration to target levels set by NIOSH.
Some respirators are designed with the face piece, cartridges and filters in one unit. These disposable respirators are discarded when the cartridges or filters are spent or the mask is damaged. (See the "Safe Use and Care of Respirators" section for more information on the lifespan of cartridges and filters.) Disposable respirators may be more convenient when the project is a one-time, short-lived task.
NotePeople with special medical conditions, especially heart or lung problems, may have their condition worsened by the additional stress of drawing air through a respirator. If you have either of these conditions, or if you are pregnant, please contact your physician before using a respirator or using a product that is an inhalation hazard.
Table 1Respirators: types of cartridges and filters needed for specific tasks
Correct fitThe respirator should be comfortable and have a correct fit so that it is leak-proof. Different people have different face sizes and shapes, so try on respirators until you find the right one. Respirators are built to either cover the nose and mouth (quarter-face respirator); the nose, mouth and chin (half-face respirator); or the nose, mouth, chin and eyes (full-face respirator).
Ask your safety equipment supplier to provide a proper fit test by a qualified tester. If this is not available, test the fit by covering the cartridge or filter inlets with the palms of your hands, inhale gently until the respirator collapses slightly, and hold your breath for 10 seconds. If the fit is not adequate, the respirator will resume its normal shape because of air leakage. Another test of the fit is to block the exhalation valve and gently breathe out. This should cause the mask to expand. If air leaks past the edge of the mask (particularly near the eyes), the mask will collapse to its normal shape. If your eyeglasses fog up while trying these tests with a half-face respirator, then it has a poor fit.
If the respirator fails any of these tests, try adjusting the straps and face piece. The salesperson can help you determine the correct fit. People with beards or small faces may not be adequately protected by a respirator because of poor fit.
Cleaning and storageRemove the cartridges and filters. Wash the respirator according to the manufacturer's directions. While washing, inspect the respirator for wear, cracks and distortions. Damaged respirator parts should be replaced before wearing again. Rinse in clean water and air-dry. (Do not wash disposable respirators.) Store the respirator, cartridges and filters in an air-tight container (such as a resealable plastic bag) in a clean, cool, dry place.
ReplacementFilters and cartridges must be replaced regularly. When it is difficult to breathe through a respirator, the filter is probably clogged and needs to be replaced. Some general guidelines for cartridge replacement are after two weeks, after eight hours of cumulative use, or if you can smell the contaminant. If you can smell the hazardous ingredient through the respirator, the purifying chemicals are used up and the cartridge needs to be replaced. If you rely on the odor as a cue to replace the cartridge, be sure the material is odor-producing. Follow the directions given with each respirator.
Eyes are particularly vulnerable to injury from hazardous products (for example: oven cleaners, drain openers or paint thinners).
Table 2Examples of products whose use required chemical splash goggles
Hands and fingers are the areas of the body most exposed to hazardous products.
Table 3Types of gloves that provide protection while doing specific activities1
It is important to protect more than your hands and face when using some hazardous products (for example, spraying pesticides or applying solvents). Cover your arms, legs, head, feet and any exposed body part with protective clothing. The clothing will protect your body from contact with the product, preventing absorption through your skin.
Always follow these steps in case of an actual fire:
The appropriate fire extinguisher depends upon the type of fire. There are three different classes of fires, each requiring specific fire extinguishing chemicals.
Class A fires are fueled by ordinary combustibles such as paper, cloth, wood, rubber, plastics and upholstery.
Class B fires are fueled by flammable liquids, such as oil, gasoline, paint or grease.
Class C fires are ignited by malfunctions of electrical equipment, such as household appliances and televisions.
Using the wrong type of fire extinguisher can be dangerous since it may cause the fire to spread. Because most households contain combustibles, flammable liquids and electrical equipment, an ABC or Multi-purpose Dry Chemical fire extinguisher is recommended. Consult with a salesperson from a local safety equipment store, fire extinguisher store or hardware store to determine which extinguisher meets your needs.
Avoid purchasing fire extinguishers using a halon propellant (halon-1211). The release of halon contributes to ozone-layer depletion.
The Guide to Hazardous Products Around the Home is a personal action manual for protecting your health and the environment. This comprehensive, 178-page handbook explains product ingredients, safety issues, disposal, recycling outlets, safer product alternatives, and more!

The Guide was written by the Household Hazardous Waste Project, winner of the 1991 President's Environment and Conservation Challenge Award.

in the next round of Q and A's (not sure when that is).
I mean, I guess we can see a little evidence of "Vader burnout", but in a way it makes me sad that maybe one downside to the CW is that kids aren't even familiar with the "Vader" side of the Saga anymore.
I think that having a Comic Pack exclusive every year for SDCC is the most LOGICAL type of exclusive Hasbro could offer us.

According to the Bureau of Labor, Americans spent 2.6% more at restaurants in September of this year than last year, but at the same time, the price of food at supermarkets is up 6.2%. Dining out doesn't have to be bad for your health or your wallet. Below you'll find our top 10 ways you can lower cost and boost your health when eating out:
Drink Water – soda, juice and alcohol all add money and calories to the bottom line. Eating out is a great time to prioritize getting your daily fill of water (~2L for women, ~3L for men) while cutting costs. For more on why hydration is so important, check out our h2O 101 blog.
No Dessert – skipping dessert when you're eating out has positive implications for both your waistline and your wallet. Reducing or eliminating simple sugars from your diet is a good way to lower your risk for excess weight gain, diabetes and heart disease. Furthermore, baked goods served in restaurants can contain loads of trans fats, which have a negative impact on your cholesterol and your heart.
Steamed Rice instead of Fried – when you're eating out at an Asian restaurant, especially those that offer hibachi grilling, you often get to choose between steamed and fried rice. This is a perfect opportunity to save between $3-$5, and cut about 300 calories.
No Extras (dressing, bacon, etc.) – We all love extras. Adding bacon to a burger, or extra ranch dressing to a salad can add lots of flavor, but these extras can add dollars and lots of empty calories to your meal.
Split Big Meals – Portion size is at an all-time high in America. If you have a hankering for steak and potatoes, or are craving something that's only offered as a big entree, split your meal! Saving half your money and half the calories every time you eat will add up quickly!
Eat More at Lunch – When you eat your largest meal of the day earlier, your body has time to process the nutrition you consume more effectively than if it were eaten a few hours before bed. When choosing when to eat out, opt for making your dining out experience a lunch time one. Lunch menu items are often drastically cheaper than the same items on the dinner menu. Do yourself a favor by eating earlier for less.
Take it Home – If there's more food on your plate than you're hungry for, don't eat it all. A recent study compared the eating habits of those in France vs. Americans and found that lower obesity and heart disease rates among the French may be because they know when to stop eating. Americans rely more heavily on visual cues than their own bodies' signals to tell them when to stop eating, a trend that may correlate with our rising obesity rates. If there's more on your plate than you're prepared to eat in one sitting, listen to your body and wrap it up and take it home. You'll get more bang for your buck and will support your body's natural circadian rhythm by not weighing it down with excess food late at night.
Get it in a Salad – Ever noticed that restaurants often offer almost the same meal as both a salad and an entree? You could opt for the grilled chicken (with potatoes, bread, fries, etc.) for $15, or the grilled chicken salad, for $10. You could opt for the buffalo shrimp po boy for $11, or the buffalo shrimp salad for $9. Either way, you're usually getting about the same amount of protein, but when you opt for the salad, instead of filling up on heavy carbs, you support that protein with loads of vitamins and minerals, and often, save some money in the process.
Substitute – Many restaurants will let you swap out a side for no extra cost. Fruit instead of fries or grits? Salad instead of a baked potato or pasta salad? When you have the option, swap your side for a lighter and healthier one than the standard option. This is a great free way to make every meal more healthy.
Think Local – food that's available to restaurants locally is fresher and also often cheaper, since restaurants don't have to incur added costs for shipping. Favorite local dishes are also often cheaper, because restaurants must compete with others in the region serving up the same dish (i.e. – clam chowder in Boston, gumbo in New Orleans, etc.). Go local for increased freshness and lower prices.

Thanks ,refjeff, for your response. IMHO, the play would have became dead in NFHS when the receiver's knee touched down in the field of play while he had possession of the ball that had yet to break the EZ = Steeler's ball inside the one. Everything after that would be dead. NFL requires "down by contact" so their play didn't end until the ball was jarred loose by planet Earth.Sorry to hear about your Browns . In my daze of youth ('50s) they were the arch enemy of my New York Football Giants (Patriots & AFL had yet to be invented) and matchups between Jim Brown and Giant's Sam Huff.
Under Fed rules, I have a completed pass and down at the half-yard line."Double-action" plays such as this are one of the toughest types of judgments we have to make during real time. The stretch is irrelevant, but it takes lots of experience (and visual training) to get these calls right on a consistent basis.
The other comment I'll make though is in this case it's extremely unlikely the naked eye on the field sees the movement of this ball real time.
So let's make the question a bit simpler. If on this same play the ball bounced up and away as the player then ball hit the ground, instead of being pinned between the ground and his chest then in his hands, what we have under NFHS rules?
^in NFHS I have a TD. A ball in player possession in the opponents end zone is a touchdown.
Actually, Ole Webster can be very helpful with this. First, using the definition of catch, we can state it another way: "A catch is the act of establishing player CONTROL of a live ball in flight. So, in order to catch it, he must control it. Then the 2-34-1 definition of player possession makes sense, because a ball in player possession is a ball that is still being controlled by the player, after the initial control of the catch... I understand that you then have to define control, but once again, Webster is very beneficial. Webster defines control as the ability to manage an object, in this case a football. So, the definition of a catch then becomes, "A catch is the act of establishing an ability to manage a live ball in flight."2-34-1 becomes, "A ball in player possession is a live ball managed (or really, 'that is continued to be managed) by a player after that player has initially managed the ball."Clear as mud....
Fed rule book also has the words "maintaining control" as part of the catch definition. The survive the ground philosophy is a great way to consistently apply the rule. If he had complete control of the ball he would have maintained it through that contact. Based on the fact the ball came loose when he hit the ground and then the ball hit the ground this would be incomplete in HS as well by the most common philosophy. Being HS though there are a lot of different and competing philosophies.
Incomplete pass because he obviously didn't "maintain control" (direct quote from catch definition) of the ball to have a catch. This philosophy makes our calls much more consistent and easy to explain.
Webster never played football, I don't think he ever even tried out. Something that might help, Rule 2 is where you can find "football" related definitions.Something that may yet be further considered, the old adage, "Would you rule the same at the 50 yard line as you do the goal line" may be where the next revision should focus. Considering, when certain things happen at the goal line/sideline, the ball becomes dead (the lights go out). Not so at the 50 yard line, often the lights stay on and play continues.
To catch a ball is to possess a ball, and to possess a ball is to possess it. The question is what does it mean to possess a ball? According to this master of the English language, to possess it means to control it.
To catch a ball is to possess a ball, and to possess a ball is to possess it.

Judging by the new trailer, Wreck-It-Ralph looks like loads of fun, and that's partially due to the cameos from famous video game characters. I'm a little surprised that old school gaming characters haven't received more attention in mainstream films (although Nintendo is fiercely protective of its characters after Super Mario Bros., although Bowser is in Wreck-It-Ralph). Disney has released new posters that put the some of gaming's most recognizable villains front-and-center by showing off Dr. Robotnik, M. Bison, Zangief, and Pokey (a.k.a "Clyde"), although heroes Sonic and Q-bert are also in the mix. There will be other cameos in the movie, and I look forward to trying to catch them all (no word on a Pokemon reference).
Hit the jump to check out the posters. The film features the voices of John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer, and Jane Lynch. Wreck-It-Ralph opens in 3D on November 2nd.
Via IGN.
Here's the official synopsis for Wreck-It-Ralph:
Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy(R)-winning director Rich Moore (TV's "The Simpsons," "Futurama") take moviegoers on a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping journey in "Wreck-It Ralph." Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly, "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby," "Step Brothers") is tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix (voice of Jack McBrayer, "30 Rock"), the "good guy" star of their game who always gets to save the day. But after decades doing the same thing andseeing all the glory go to Felix, Ralph decides he's tired of playing the role of a bad guy. He takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a game-hopping journey across the arcade through every generation of video games to prove he's got what it takes to be a hero. On his quest, he meets the tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch, TV's "Glee") from the first-person action game Hero's Duty. But it's the feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman, "The Sarah Silverman Program") from the candy-coated cart racing game, Sugar Rush, whose world is threatened when Ralph accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens the entire arcade. Will Ralph realize his dream and save the day before it's too late? "Wreck-It Ralph" crashes onto the big screen on November 2, 2012, in Disney Digital 3D(TM) in select theaters.

METRO VANCOUVER — Extra police, security and attendants are working at SkyTrain stations in the Metro Vancouver area after RCMP detonated a bomb found on the elevated tracks.
Transit Police spokeswoman Anne Drennan says about a dozen detectives will also be out Saturday as they investigate how the explosive device ended up on the tracks between two stations in Surrey, B.C.
She says a passenger on the train spotted three canisters strapped together with tape on Friday afternoon and alerted authorities.
Drennan says the canisters that were the size of fire extinguishers could have been thrown onto the guideway or it's possible someone climbed up to the area.
She says explosives technicians believe the object would not have detonated on its own but may have been electronically or manually set off.
The incident disrupted service on the SkyTrain system between the Scott Road and Gateway stations for about three hours.

History is evident of the use of organic Damiana tea as it has numerous health benefits. In the ancient times, it was used as one of the drugs. This tea is endemic to places like Mexico, Caribbean, Central and South America. In the recent times, organic damiana tea is being used for improving sexual health among other things. Here's article describing about the health benefits of organic damiana tea.
Benefits of Organic Damiana Tea
Organic damiana tea enhances libido and fertility in both men and women. Increasing libido is determined by the level of arousal. The tea helps building up the stamina that both men and women need to be aroused sexually. Increase of libido and arousal are directly linked to flow of blood in your body. Some of the researches prove the fact that the herb helps in bringing oxygen to the genitals of both the sexes. With increasing libido, the herb is also responsible for increasing potency in both men and women.
Stress Suppressant
Most of the times, people suffer from depression because of the sexual reasons. Damiana tea will not only improve your sexual health but also it will help you get rid of the nervousness and stress that you nurture. This is why the tea is known as a very good mood enhancer.
Helps in Digestion
Most of the people these days have constipation which is related to digestion problems. This tea works as an agent to help your body in proper digestion. You will no more have digestion or constipation problems after using this tea.
Can Help you Lose Some Weights From Your Body
It is known that the tea is a digestive agent. This leads you to have clear intestine. Once you get your food habits in control with perfect digestion, your weight-loss regime will just be cakewalk.
How to Prepare Damiana Tea?
First of all you need to decide whether you want raw tea or sweetened tea. Basing on that you will need the ingredients. If you want to make sweet tea then you need honey as an extra ingredient. Here are the steps for making the tea.
Step#1: Bring 4gs of the tea extract
Step#2: Put the extract in a container containing water and boil the same.
You can also boil only water if you want.
Step#3: Let the water boil for an hour. Then you need to pour that in cup. If you wish to mix honey in the tea, then it is fine.
You can also boil only water at first and then put the boiled water on the container containing the tea extracts. By doing so also you have to wait for half an hour.

We've been flooded with questions today regarding whether Broncos receiver Eric Decker, a native of Cold Spring, Minnesota, is related to Tom Decker, a 31-year-old Cold Spring police officer who was killed Thursday night in an apparent ambush.
Eric Decker's agent, Todd France, tells PFT that Eric Decker is not related to Tom Decker.
It makes the situation no less tragic. Tom Decker has four young children. He and his partner were responding to a call regarding a potentially suicidal man. When they arrived, the man shot and killed Decker.
It's a reminder of the risks law-enforcement personnel take every day. We extend our condolences to Officer Tom Decker's family, friends, and colleagues.
