What's more, only about half of the fat utilized during aerobic exercise is mobilized from adipose tissue; the balance comes from fat stored intramuscularly (within muscle) . The important point here is that intramuscular fat has no bearing on aesthetic appearance; it's the subcutaneous fat stored in adipose tissue that influences body composition. Consequently, the actual fat-burning effects of the strategy are far less than otherwise thought.
Eating before exercise actually increases caloric expenditure
The best advice is to exercise when you are at your best; let your biorhythms determine when you should work out. If you are a morning person, go ahead and train early. But if you don't really get going until you've been awake for several hours, by all means train later in the day. All things considered, it really won't make much of a difference in your results.

My Ghoul Friday
Recent Moans from the Minions...
I've been working on casting a form from a mannequin (don't we all have mannequins hanging around?) using paper mache. It's the first prop for my Halloween theme this year, and probably the one that will take the most time.
Thought I would share the process so far.
Miss Mannequin gets covered in tinfoil. To help keep the tinfoil in place without actually attaching it to the form, I've put tack adhesive putty on spots around her body (especially around the facial features). I want it to stay in place, but I want to be able to remove the tinfoil and paper mache form fairly easily when I'm done.
Covered Miss M with a layer of newspaper using watered-down white glue. Basically, I rip newspapers into strip, coat them in the glue/water mix, and smooth them over the tinfoil. For a more detailed explanation of my technique, check out my tutorial.
Since she is so large, for the first layer I used fairly big pieces of newspaper for the torso. After it was completely dry, I added a second layer of more traditionally small pieces. The smaller pieces tend to give a smoother finish and allow you to work around angles.
Cool breeze, blue sky. Feels like fall. And it should, becaaaauuuuuuse....
It's that time of year again! Two years ago it was decided there needed to be a holiday weekend to mark the approach of Halloween. It is to Halloween what Thanksgiving is to Christmas.
"It takes place the 7th Sunday before Halloween, which means this coming weekend is Misgivings Day Weekend!
How to celebrate? Well that's easy. Eat as much fall fare (like pumpkin ale, trick or treat candy which is now on sale at the stores, pies both savoury and sweet) as humanly possible. Work on Halloween props, decor and projects. Watch horror movies and break out Halloween cartoons.
I said "Contact!"....CONTACT! *hits enter repeatedly*
Turns out my contact form on the site has been broken.
Yes, people could send me emails and even get a copy for themselves. But they were the only ones getting a copy.
It's fixed now, but I wanted to apologize to anyone who has tried to contact me via the webform and got no response.
Who knows how long it's been a bust. Did I miss a letter from a long lost relative who can travel through time? An art show opportunity in Japan? A letter from a man in Africa who can get me ten million dollars if I send him a thousand now?
The big question at my last show was "do you have an etsy shop?" to which I sheepishly replied "Yes. A very, very, very neglected one".
I thought I would rectify the situation. While I do love (and prefer) selling in person and getting to meet those who adopt my critters, I know there are those of you who can't come out to Toronto every time I have a show. This sale is for you.
It's the Lucky 13 sale. Why the name? Two reasons:
First, the shop will go back into vacation mode on October 13th, 2012 and I'll be taking leftover items to sell at my next show, the Bazaar of the Bizarre. So that's the 13 part.
The lucky part is that, as part of my penance for being such a bad online shop keeper, I'm offering an olive branch to the faithful who come to the blog and follow me online.
I was sorting through my stock and found 6 of my sculpted Undead Head necklaces. I'd made dozens upon dozens of these in 2010. I do not have any intention of making anymore (some people are suited to making jewelry. I am not).
SO the first 6 people who buy an item from the shop and mention "ZOMBIE!" (during checkout, but if you forget just email me with the word and your name) will find a surprise undead gift in their package as a token of my appreciation.
I made this figure in July sometime. He popped up in the middle of my monster madness, an anomaly with no name and no story.
I'm not even sure if he's finished (a hat? more baubles?), but here he is for now.
I've had the owl sculpted for more than a year, waiting for a proper owner. It's actually the owl I fell in love with originally (and why this piece is staying in my personal collection).
Even now, I struggle to know his story. Which is strange.
Sullivan tends to the smaller animals in the forest.
Each day, with the help of Screecher, he scouts the woods for injured beasts in need of help. He tends their wounds, feeds the starving, frees the captured, and returns wandering babes to the safety of their nest, crook, or cave.
This figure is approximately 10 inches tall.
More images below.
It's interesting being presented with a creation that has absolutely no ties to Halloween or previous styles. And I use the word "presented" because the majority of sculptures reveal themselves as I work rather than being born from an idea or vision.
I've also noticed a pattern of pieces who I imagine come from the same world or town apart from the other figures. A grander story waiting to be told. When it's more clear, I'll let you know the tale they are trying to tell me.
Folks who have been hanging around this site long enough may have noticed - especially over the last year - that my creations are changing. Some slightly (like the Minions), and some...well...some seem to come out of nowhere.
I've started an album for these square pegs titled "The Others".
The Creature in the Corner is one of those figures. Standing at approximately 16 inches tall (longer if you followed the curve of his spine), he towers over all my other figures.
Normally a story follows (or accompanies) a piece's creation. I had this figure on the table at the show without a name or story. It came to me on the last day. Short on details for such a tall character, but enough to let me have a basic understanding of who...or at least what...it is.
Leaning out of shadows, the Creature in the Corner is usually overlooked.
It does not speak.
It does not walk from place to place.
It simply appears, bending its long body to peer over or around objects.
Even if someone catches a glimpse of it, by the time they walk to where it was, it has faded away.
More pictures below.
And more pictures to come of ANOTHER creature who came out of nowhere. I think I may have officially watched Labyrinth and Dark Crystal too many times (if that's possible). Of course, there are worse things in life than making something that reminds you in a distant way of the genius of Brian Froud. Look for that soon.
I'm finding more and more each year that I spend most (if not all) my shopping time (and money) in Artist Alley at FanExpo. A lot of people have echoed this statement. If you're looking for Bazinga t-shirts and Doctor Who figures, the retail section is for you. But really, despite Artist Alley being shuffled around and organized like an afterthought, it's the place to go to find unique and cool items (just be prepared to wade through the mishmash of genres and levels of professionalism).
This year I picked up a They Live print from Andrew Barr who always has a table nearby with Leigh Young. It was this print that I took to have John Carpenter sign. It's the first time I paid for an autograph in all the years I've attended the convention. Max Brooks, Guillermo Del Toro, House of Frightenstein folks: all free and lovely to chat with in years past. Mr. Carpenter was...there to sign autographs. Period. And that pretty much sums up our meeting. Though he did manage an initial smile when he shook my hand, and then was curious who the illustrator was for the image (luckily Andrew was behind me in line so I could point him out). But that was it. Yeah, yeah, we all love Jack Burton. Thanks for the $40, now step aside and quit with the small talk.
I have finally gotten a chance to add all of the new minions (well, all the minions that have been photographed) to the Art Ghoullery section with their stories.
It was a weird convention experience for me this year. They changed the layout - again - so much that I had people saying they had the hardest time finding Artist Alley (never mind my actual table). And since our creepy coven of artists were hidden in the far back corner, people who like horror (or Halloweenish things) usually turned down the main aisle before getting near us (since there was a sea of anime items close by that gave the impression that's all there was).
Some didn't find us until the last day.
Others just could not find us at all.
Gorza is a Hellion. A worker bee from the firey depths, if you will.
But one that has left the hive.
It could be the urge to travel and cause mischief across the lands!
It could be to find a small village and make the peasant folks his slaves to do his bidding!
It could also be that Gorza wants to flatten mountains and burn forests with his fiery breath!
But it turns out, the truth is...you can't get a decent cup of coffee in hell. Brains, sure. You can have brains raw, pureed or cooked 101 different ways.
But a good cup of coffee? No. Too smoky. Over-roasted. No cold spring water to brew with.
Even Hellions need to take a break now and then to read the local paper with a white mug of dark deliciousness.
It makes them more productive.
This figure is approximately 9.5 inches tall.
They've gone by many names in many stories around the world.
Soul Eaters.
Call them what you like, but Soul Eaters are all the same.
Preying on the feeble, the depressed, or the anxious and insecure. Slowly chewing away at their essence.
Not killing them, but not really leaving them alive either.
Hollow bodies, emptied of their passions, interests and motivations.
Living corpses.
Sometimes death is better.
This figure is approximately 7.5 inches tall.

What you get
Embark on a day out to witness some of the most dramatic scenery you'll find in the UK. Use your Clubcard vouchers to get access to Cheddar Gorge & Caves. Just exchange £5.50 in vouchers and you could be climbing the watch tower atop the gorge's summit, or descending into the caves below for a discount price.
Cheddar Gorge in Somerset is easily one of the most striking natural formations in the country. Chunky limestone cliffs jut 450ft into the air while the road snakes around them. It's an adventurer's heaven, not to mention the cavernous underground labyrinth beneath.
With the token you receive for Clubcard vouchers, you can climb deep underground to Gough's Cave and Cox's Cave, each dripping with mesmerising calcite and stalactite formations. Water from the magical underground pools shimmers in the half-light, while enchanting music plays overhead to enhance the mood.
Meanwhile, above ground, you could be touring the gorge itself via open-top bus, or a walking tour for maximum viewing potential, especially if you take in the panoramic views from the top of the watch tower.
How it works

It's the first time Katie's smiled that big since she filed for divorce last week. In fact, it's the first time we've seen her smile that big in a while.
Of course, Katie and Suri weren't alone -- they stopped by the East Village ice cream shop with some friends. Oh yeah, and 4 hulking bodyguards.
Talk about flavor of the month.

Get a decked-out Dell desktop for $599.99
Laptops, ultrabooks, and tablets are all well and good if you're a mobile person -- or you have a small desk -- but if you want serious horsepower for things like games, video editing, 3D modeling, and big ol' CAD drawings, your best bet is usually a desktop.
A desktop also gives you a lot more expansion options, whether it's adding a second hard drive or swapping in the latest and greatest video card. Something to consider.
For a limited time, and while supplies last, DealFisher has the Dell XPS 8500 desktop for $599.99, shipped. It is … Read more

Half of the campus at 1910 Morrison Campground Road — the old Johnson Elementary School building — is designated as the county's Transitional Academy for at-risk students. The other half is set apart as the Performance Learning Center.
The staff at the Education Center starts with a vision for students who have made a number of bad choices in their lives.
Asked where he would be if not in the ninth grade academy classroom, Andrew Baldelamar said, "I probably would've dropped out."
"It's been a life changer," said Jade Wells, a junior by age but a senior in the classroom, where credits don't come by the calendar but by self-progression.
And graduation doesn't come in May. It happens when the student completes his or her credits.
"They put on a cap and gown, and our students line the hall for them to walk," said Principal Melinda Strickland.
Members of the Greater Rome Chamber of Commerce Education and Workforce committee got a tour of the facility Friday. Most of the attention was focused on the Performance Learning Center, which has already produced 44 graduates in less than two years since the program started.
"We think outside the bubble," Strickland said. "Our kids aren't here to bubble in test scores. We're here to help them be better people. If they can't be at work on time, if they don't have good work ethics, if they can't be responsible, have good communication skills, manners, you don't want them in your facility."
Strickland said the students at the PLC get the same academics, but the staff at the PLC delivers the learning in a different way. Students work at their own pace. Some students might earn two credits in a semester, others earn as many as seven.
Students at the PLC are generally underachievers in the traditional classroom. Many of them aren't interested in after-school clubs or athletics; they just want to get through school.
Assistant Principal Dale Hamby said that 100 percent of the students who have reached senior class status have graduated.
"We expect excellence, but we meet them where they are," Strickland said. "We celebrate each student."
The program is working and working well. The school has been notified that it will be recognized as one of the top 10 in the nation at the National Alternative Education Conference.
"It's an honor, not necessarily for the teachers and staff, but for our students," Strickland said.

You can't trade 3 HDs for 2x6 scarabs without also trading the wraith or another 3 HDs due to fast attack slot limitations.
Similarly to how you and Infidel have adapted to playing daemons in the past so you no longer find 5 man squads of troops a problem, I've never used solar pulses until the current codex, so I find even one solar pulse a great asset. I also wouldn't like to become too HQ-heavy in lower point games unless going for something like 2x courts (which aren't really HQ).
I like 1500 pts because it forces people to make real choices on what they take, they can't have everything. With this list however, I'm more limited by FOC slots than anything else, with the one sacrifice being another HQ for the second solar pulse, although I'd very much consider a destroyer lord. But you don't need solar pulses to protect heavy destroyers. They're nice, but not required.
Redo the math? It comes out to exactly 1500.

The Web's Easiest and Most Useful K-12 Search and Comparison Tool for Parents
The Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP) is Colorado's standards-based assessment designed to provide a picture of student performance to schools, districts, educators, parents and the community. The primary purpose of the assessment program is to determine the level at which Colorado students meet the Colorado Model Content Standards in the content areas assessed. The CSAP is collaboratively developed by the Colorado Department of Education, the Colorado teaching community and CTB/McGraw-Hill. The data should be used to keep abreast of individual student, school, and district progress toward attaining higher student achievement levels. The fact that CSAP is based on the Colorado Model Content Standards will ensure that all districts are held to the same challenging standards that Coloradans expect for their students regardless of whether they live in urban, suburban, or rural areas.Source: Colorado Department of Education Unit of Student Assessment.

Every once in a while I find myself a good soccer video that compels me to press replay over and over again. And ever since I started supporting the club all those years ago, not much has brought me greater entertainment on youtube than Chicago Fire videos made by either the Fire front office, the media or our very own fans. Now, Chicago Fire Blog has decided to get in on the act and produce its very own promo for your viewing.
All footage in this video was recorded during the Chicago Fire vs. Vancouver Whitecaps match Saturday night at Toyota Park and all credit goes to Fire supporters Geoff Stellfox and Zach Huey for putting together this great video. Enjoy!

Boehner supports Brooks in Rochester
By: Mark Gruba
Updated: August 4, 2012
The nation's top GOP leader gave a room full of Monroe County's top Republicans exactly what they came to hear. "Now there's nothing worse than having people elected to office who've never done anything, oh, I probably can think of some of them, alright," said Boehner, drawing laughter from the crowd.
The Speaker talked about winning the White House, addressing the country's debt, and, of course, getting Brooks inside the beltway. "If you want somebody who is going to stand up and do the right thing for the right reasons, you want to send Maggie Brooks to the United States Congress," he said.
Boehner referred to Louise Slaughter as the incumbent, and talked about the Democrats failed record. Brooks said voters have a choice. "I'm running for Congress because I have the proven record and the collaborative experience to join with Speaker Boehner and his team to fix what's broken," she said during her remarks.
Slaughter's campaign blasted Boehner's visit, saying in a statement the Speaker represents Republican's out-of-touch, anti-middle class agenda. Outside the Convention Center a small group protested tax breaks for millionaires. Boehner said that's not the issue driving this election cycle. "The issue is the economy, the issue is jobs," he said. "The American people are saying it loud and clear."
Brooks echoed many of the Speaker's themes, but said his support doesn't mean she's in lock-step with the National Republican platform. "I have a record," she said to reporters after the luncheon. "People know how I've governed, and when people start saying she won't do this, this, or this, all they have to do is look at the record and they'll see where my values are and where my priorities are."
Boehner's remarks lasted about 20 minutes and he did not take questions from the media. Between the VIP reception and luncheon, about 400 people attended the fundraiser, which went for $150 a plate.

Sobering news about the leading to the the lesser.
Archive for March, 2009
March 28, 2009Perfect NY Armory Week Cocktail Party Topic
March 7, 2009It's Saturday and I'm sure everyone has played out the usual art fair talk-tracks: "Hiiiiiiii, how are you?" "So, how are sales?" "Have you been affected, everything okay?" "Is it true you can roll a bowling ball down the aisles of your fair?" – here is something much more interesting to think/talk about:
An article I read this week gave me flashbacks to the 1980s. Remember the speculative run in the art market and the subsequent bust in the 1990s due to the downturn in the Japanese economy? Many would recall the apogee of these times was when one weekend Ryoei Saito bought Vincent van Gogh's Portrait du Dr. Gachet for $82.5 million from Christie's NY and Auguste Renoir's Au Moulin de la Galette for $78.1 million from Sotheby's NY and then he and his paper company went bankrupt and he was charged with criminal activities.
The van Gogh was seized by Japan's Fuji Bank (even though Saito asked to be cremated with it) and resold for a fraction of the price. In the end, Japan's banks had confiscated over $200 million dollars of art from Japanese businessmen putting it all into bank vaults and then going under themselves. Some Eurocentrics describe this time as the devouring of Western culture by Japanese speculators. In these days, I would describe it as familiar.
Vincent van Gogh's Portrait du Dr. Gachet and Auguste Renoir's Au Moulin de la Galette
So with that background in mind, I present the ArtDaily headline of the week: Chinese Bidder at Christie's YSL Auction Refuses to Pay for Controversial Works of Art. With quote of the week from this bidder who committed over $40 million dollars to 2 sculptures in the auction: "I must stress I do not have the money to pay for this".
Um, really Mr. Cai Mingchao? Really?! So I thought, here we go again, but now with China.
NO, it's so much more interesting – issues of cultural rights and heritage, patrimony and national sentiment – you can read here and here.
And a quote I would like to end on from Chinese Government Rep. Zhao Qizheng regarding the situation: "[Cao's bid] was a lesson to the rest of the world, including the French".
Now go party and discuss…

An Experts Audit - February, 2008 | Tweet |
Written by Ian Fergusson | |||
Wednesday, 12 March 2008 04:05 | |||
Welcome once again to "An Expert's Audit". This audit will also be posted here as well as on my fantasy hockey blog at www.fantasyhockey.hockeyanalysis.com . I also do weekly reviews of teams for people who email in to me for a look-see. These audits will continue to appear here monthly and if you're interested in having your keeper team "worked over" then you can begin by emailing Dobber. Perhaps you'd prefer this article "en francais" like this . Much thanks goes to Steve Rodgers for his efforts in translation of this article. I know I couldn't have done it. (Cliquez ici pour la version française )
Henrik Sedin VAN (A-) – one of the best pure assist guys in the game. He might be Adam Oates good eventually, he might be that already. Now you have to throw five names back into the draft next year and reserves are exempted from this decision. Two options jump out at me as easy choices, your team option, Anaheim, and Teemu Selanne. You can easily replace your team option in your draft, in fact New Jersey and Dallas weren't claimed THIS year so you'll be fine with having to select a new team option next year. I have doubts that Teemu is going to play next year at all and actually since the bottom 3 players on your roster (excluding reserve) don't earn you points toward your total, Teemu probably shouldn't be on your team this year either. The other three non-keepers are dependant on other issues. Is Rod Brind'amour going to return next season and be healthy given his age? Will Simon Gagne return to 50 goal form or will he be plagued by concussions for what could be a short career from here on out? What about Pavol Demitra? Is he ever going to have a healthy season? What sort of seasons can be expected out of Nik Antropov, Milan Michalek, Andy McDonald, and Paul Kariya in the future? As for the five names in question, it's tough to make a call now and ideally you should wait for September before making your decision but right now I think the guys should be: Anaheim, Selanne, Michalek, Demitra, and I hate to say it but, Gagne.
If you are in a keeper league and need a strategy heading into the summer, let Ian spend a month working with you! To get started, email Dobber - (dobber(at)dobberhockey.com) Write comment

It's from the pond overflow. It looks like it used to run through the property, but when the previous owner had everything clear-cut, the heavy equipment made a mess of the creek. Eventually, we'll have to see about digging it back out.
This is actually the overflow creek from the pond.
The pond has stopped overflowing because of the lack of rain. At least it's spring fed, so it isn't drying up the way some of the other ponds nearby are.
The pond is starting to flow into the creek again thanks to the rain. Yay!!

I managed to join you guys until i got DC'd a few times after races.
I love it!
I like it
It looks ok
I dont like it
I hate it!
Yeah I saw you joined for a few races.

*Sees last post as yesterday and thinks 'yay everyone else forgot about the races too'*
*Realises it's past 12... ;-;*
I keep forgetting. ): Can't even blame it on connection this time! Although 8pm is Waterloo Road time so I was bound to forget!!
Tbh they wern't great races as we didnt talk much (as you can tell) and there were only 3 of us, so you wern't really missing out on anything. Actually if anything waterloo road reminded me of the races
Is this really how it ends...?
Can someone tell me if Cloud9 mixed with the wood wheels is good? And or the mushroom wheels work fine? And is that Bee like Kart any good?
Looks at the stats.
Credit to Neo Pikachu for the Weavile banner.
I would say you should just try them all out regardless of whether one has a bit more speed or handling. There are some people out there who prefer speed over handling, and some prefer the other, so you just need to choose something that fits your style of play. Personally, I like the Mushroom Wheels because they give you good handling.
I like the roller tires because they give good Handling and Acceleration.
Credit to Neo Pikachu for the Weavile banner.
It depends for me. Since i go for combos that looks right on the kart. My friend strictly uses the Mushroom tires since it has good handling while having good top speed, but tbh it looks retarded on the B-Dasher and Zucchini. I mainly go for the top speed setup since the wheels that give out low handling feels like a mid-range to me so its not hard to drive if you get the lines right. But i do once in a while mess around with the combinations.
Yeah I have to go for combos that look right. Roller Tires and B Dasher just look awkward. Personally, I go for Lakitu/Koopa/Shy Guy with the Royal Ribbon and Roller Tires because they basically have top Acceleration and Handling and speed doesn't really matter because of the item trolling :P
Credit to Neo Pikachu for the Weavile banner.
So how many people are planning on racing ar 8pm GMT onwards? Because I can go but if its going to be a low turnout, then I might not be bothered to get online (and thats if rhere are no connection issues).
Is this really how it ends...?
I won't be able to go online at eight, but I'll go on a little after, if there's going to be a few people online.
I'm the same. I'll go on if there's at least 5 maybe. Otherwise I'll save my battery power for KI:U.
Credit to Neo Pikachu for the Weavile banner.
I am going online right now for a few hours to get my VR points up. Though it may be shorter if i get hit with connection issues and whatever error messages pops out.
Is anyone else going to play today? Cause I went on-line but there's no one to join.
Joining you now Calamity. Hopefully a few more people show up, though.
fullgroupfullgroupfullgroup bah.

Hot Stove League Show podcast
By Shannon Drayer
Sorry for the delay but the podcast for Tuesday's Hot Stove League Show is now up. Hour 1 can be heard above and hour 2 can be found here.
Hour 1 features an interview with third base and catching coach Jeff Datz that I covered in this piece. I found the insight into just what Eric Wedge and coaches saw in the defense of Jesus Montero and John Jaso quite interesting.
Also in hour 1 we talked to Kyle Seager who shared with us his off season workout plan and talked about how he learned to use the mass amount of video that is available at the big league level. We closed the hour out with a fun interview with Tom Wilhelmsen who told us he would be up for trying out the zipline (with a cape on) at Fanfest, talked about why he was able to have the success he did last year and why he loves closing. Hint, "There's nothing else like it, there's an energy push, an adrenaline push, there's nothing else on earth like it. It rocks!"
In the second hour Larry Stone of the Seattle Times joined us and we debated whether or not players associated with PEDs should be allowed in the Hall of Fame. Larry discussed who he voted for and why and also gave his outlook on where the Mariners stand right now and what they need to get done before spring training.
Dave Sims called in for the final segment and he gave us his thoughts on both the Mariners and the Seahawks. Dave will be calling the Seahawks game Sunday for Dial Global.

The East Contra Costa Fire Protection District currently staffs six full-time stations year-round: Brentwood's Stations 52 and 54 (three firefighters each); Discovery Bay's Station 59 (three firefighters); Oakley's Station 93 (three firefighters) Knightsen's Station 94 (two firefighters); and Bethel Island's Station 95 (two firefighters). In 2011, they answered 6,260 calls, an average of slightly more than 17 per day.
• 4,569 of the calls, about 12 per day, were medical emergencies or traffic accidents.
• 744 calls (two per day) were for fires or emergencies involving life-threatening hazards such as gas leaks or electrical wires down. ECCFPD Chief Hugh Henderson estimates 100 of these calls were structure or wildland fires.
• 947 (2½ per day) were for various public-service calls, including smoke alarms (without a fire), animal rescues or other incidents in which people "didn't know who to call, so they called the fire department," Henderson said. (More information on calls and response times will be included in Part 5 of this series: service delivery.)
No matter what the call, the emphasis is on the speed of the response. In 2011, it took an average of 6:27 (six minutes, 27 seconds) and efforts are constantly being made to whittle that down. "Everything is about getting there quickly," said ECCFPD Engineer Ryan Pesonen. "Two seconds is a big deal."
The effort to shave time means fire engine doors are left open while they're parked in the station, roll-up doors operate by a switch strategically placed between the crew quarters and the engine, and station lights automatically come on when a call comes in at night. The goal is to be on the road in one minute from the time the alarm sounds.
When responding to a fire, each firefighter has specific responsibilities. A three-person crew is commanded by a captain, who rides shotgun, communicates with dispatch and navigates for the engineer driving the rig. Upon arriving at the scene, the captain first does an initial size-up to determine the nature of the call and order back-up units if needed. If it's a building on fire, he'll circle it to look for hazards or people in need of rescue, and turn off the gas and electrical service. He'll also issue instructions on how the attack will be made, and command other arriving crews until a battalion chief arrives.
Meanwhile, the engineer will secure a water supply. The average fire engine in the ECCFPD holds 750 gallons, or about enough for one fully involved car fire. Anything larger requires a hydrant hookup, or if there isn't one, a line to a 3,000-gallon water tender.
The engineer will monitor the engine's performance, ensuring adequate pressure at the nozzle. He'll also take whatever equipment might be needed off the engine and stage it for use in the attack.
Riding in back seat of the engine is the third firefighter, who will put up ladders, deploy hoses, and serve as one of the two-man crew that works the hose.
Unless a rescue must be made, a federal health-and-safety law known as the "two-in, two-out" rule prohibits entering a building on fire until at least four trained personnel are on scene – two to attack the fire and two to monitor the situation and rescue the first pair if necessary. A battalion chief often serves as the fourth person mandated, but the attack could be delayed until a second engine arrives.
In addition to fighting the flames, firefighters inside a burning building will attempt to save what they can from damage caused by fire, smoke and water. Furniture is moved to the center of a room and covered with a tarp, and irreplaceable items such as pictures on walls are grabbed and brought outside.
If the engine has a two-person crew, a second engine will be needed before the fire attack can begin. The reduced manpower also means it's more difficult to do things such as putting up the 130-pound, 35-foot ladders the engines carry. (Lighter, 24-foot ladders won't reach the roofs of many buildings in the district. The district relies on Confire out of Antioch for a ladder truck when one is needed.)
Putting out a fire, conducting salvage operations and refitting the equipment back onto the engine can take anywhere from two hours to all day.
At the scene of a car crash, firefighters can be called on to extinguish fires, provide first aid and isolate hazardous materials that might have spilled. They might also need to deploy the Jaws of Life, a hydraulic cutting and spreading tool used to free victims trapped in mangled vehicles.
The firefighters of the ECCFPD are trained to provide basic lifesaving services (BLS). This includes first aid, CPR and the use of automatic defibrillators. It does not include advanced lifesaving services (ALS), which include hooking up intravenous fluids, providing drugs and reading electrocardiograms. ALS services in the district are now provided by American Medical Response. (Paramedic service will be discussed in Part 4 of the series.)
Firefighters in the ECCFPD work 48-hour shifts. When not serving on a call, they attend to a list of daily duties that must be performed regardless of the call volume. Daily duties include checks to ensure each engine is equipped with all its tools. Once a week they'll also make sure that each engine and tool works properly, and has the necessary attachments, blades, fuel and oil.
Other daily duties include a minimum of two hours of training. There are reports to write for every incident, as well as maintenance of the station and grounds. Maps and manuals are studied as well, repairs made on equipment and research done on improved equipment and new procedures.
"Businesses usually have janitors, construction people or research-and-development personnel who do those things," said former Bethel Island Fire Chief David Wahl, who retired in 2005 after 30 years in the fire service. "In the fire services, it's personnel in the stations that make those things happen."
Although the duties are generally assigned to an individual, each will help make sure it all gets finished. "Everybody works until all of it's done," said Wahl.
In addition to the in-station jobs, firefighters also inspect businesses each year for fire code compliance. (Confire inspectors visit especially hazardous businesses such as gas stations.) If time allows, they also do fire prevention work, including weed abatement and public education such as firehouse tours.
Firefighters are expected to keep to fire business from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., taking breaks for meals (they buy and prepare their own food). Unless a call comes in, they're free to relax, watch TV or pursue other interests after 5 p.m., assuming the daily duties are complete.
"That 9 to 5 is really packed," said Wahl. "There's a lot to being a firefighter that the public doesn't usually see."
Next week, Part 3: Firefighter pay and benefits.

Dissonance and Harmony
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
Series: Genesis Through Ancient Eyes
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Christianity and the History of Science (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the relationship of Christianity with science throughout history. It debunks the myth that they have always been in conflict, and it reveals numerous examples of Christians playing a leading role in the development of natural science.
David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
Series: Let's Not Surrender Science to the Secular World
In this series, Mark H. Mann rejects the polarization of science and faith, claiming that this separation actually causes elements of Gnosticism to rise up among Christian fundamentalists. In reality, secular knowledge is never purely objective, but has and continues to be influenced by particular world views. He calls Christians to reclaim the scientific endeavor as a means for revealing the "Book of Creation," which ultimately will enable us to read God's Word more accurately.
The Galileo Affair: Emblematic or Exceptional?
On the morning of June 22, 1633 in the hall of the convent of Santa Maria sopra Minvera in Rome, Galileo Galilei knelt before the Lord-Cardinal Inquisitors-General and publicly abjured his false opinion that the sun was the motionless center of the universe.
Series: Mesopotamian Cosmic Geography in the Bible
In this six part series, Brian Godawa takes a closer look at cosmography and its relationship to the Bible. After defining cosmography as a theory that describes features of the heavens and the earth, he relates how his own views about the universe have shifted. He then continues to talk about the Mesopotamian cosmography that is so consistently reflected in Scripture. This view of the universe includes aspects such as the firmament, the pillars, the underworld, the heavens above, the watery abyss. He then explains how one understands these concepts in terms of modern scientific thought.
Adventist Origins of Young Earth Creationism
Many evangelicals believe that Young Earth Creationism is the only authentic, biblical way for Christians to understand origins, and that until the advent of Darwin's theory of evolution, it was the only view held by Christians. However, in this excerpt from Saving Darwin, Karl Giberson explains that Young Earth Creationism's origins are surprisingly recent.
In the Middle of Things
During the medieval era, as we can see in examples from three different fields—science, theology, and literature—people were interested and engaged. They were not shrouded in darkness and anti-progression, yet for centuries the period was characterized in this way.
Series: A.D. White's "Warfare between Science and Theology"
In this series, Mark Noll shows that the long-enduring metaphor of warfare between science and dogmatic theology as suggested by White is inaccurate. After introducing Andrew Dickinson White and his views on the science-faith interaction, Noll offers his own counter-argument for philosophical and historical reasons.
On the Creation Account
To understand and apply Genesis 1 correctly, we have to consider issues of genre and intention. Too often these chapters are read as if they present a purely straightforward historical and even scientific account of cosmic and human origins.
On Myth and Meaning
In this video, John Walton talks about ancient myth and how we might better understand it if we think about its intended functionality—that is, myths were a way to explain a culture's origin and universal significance though they lacked the advances of scientific discovery.
N.T. Wright on Understanding Ancient Texts
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright emphasizes the importance of understanding the context of biblical texts in order to know whether to read them as literal or metaphorical narratives.
Biblical Creation in its Ancient Near Eastern Context: An Introduction
It has been my experience that many Christians have not given sufficient thought to how the Old Testament was composed––that is, to the "human" side of the inspiration of Scripture.
Christian Faith and World Class Science
Watching the discussion surrounding Francis Collins's National Institutes of Health (NIH) appointment has been enlightening in so many ways. Especially interesting are the arguments by critics such as Sam Harris that someone with faith in God cannot be a good scientist.
Can science and scripture be reconciled?
In Christian belief, God reveals himself in both the written book of the Bible and the created "book" of the natural world. Thus, the truths we find in scripture should not conflict with the truths we find in nature. Yet at times the two revelations seem to be saying contradictory things about how God made the world. Since God does not lie, the conflict must occur at the level of human interpretation: either a misunderstanding of what God is revealing in nature, or a misunderstanding of what God is revealing in scripture. Conflicts motivate us to reevaluate both interpretations. Christians may disagree on whether the scientific or the Biblical interpretation needs to change, but we can agree that God speaks to us in both revelations.
(Updated on March 10, 2012)
On what grounds can one claim that the Christian God is the creator?
The science of evolution is consistent with many religions and with atheism. Science alone cannot prove or disprove the existence of God. Some scientific evidence, such as fine-tuning, points to a Creator, but even this does not support Christianity over other religions. However, Christian doctrine is broadly compatible with scientific accounts of our origins. Though belief in the Christian God is not scientifically provable, it is not irrational. Commitment to Christ is a reasonable choice supported by a variety of evidence from history, philosophy, and the testimony of others. Ultimately, the Holy Spirit works in each person's life to bring them into relationship with Jesus.
(Updated on March 10, 2012)
Are science and Christianity at war?
Some people see science and religion as enemies, at war for leadership in our modern culture. Others see science and religion as completely separate and unrelated facets of life. However, science is not the only source of facts, and religion reaches beyond the realm of values and morals. In fact, religion can have a positive impact on science, such as in the development of modern medical ethics. Many early scientific leaders were devout Christians, as are some scientific leaders today. Science can also enhance the spiritual life of believers. Christians rejoice in scientific discoveries that reveal the glory of God the creator.
(Updated June 27, 2012)
How have Christians responded to Darwin's "Origin of Species"?
Even before Darwin published The Origin of Species in 1859, many Christians had already accepted an old Earth. One of the first supporters of evolutionary science in America—Harvard biologist Asa Gray—was a devout Christian. Conservative theologian B. B. Warfield also accepted the science of evolution, and both he and Asa Gray rejected the idea that evolution leads to atheism. Even the authors of The Fundamentals, published between 1910 and 1915, accepted an old earth. It wasn't until a century after Darwin that a large number of evangelicals and fundamentalists began to accept the combination of flood geology and 6-day creation promoted by Seventh-day Adventists.

A Survey of Clergy and Their Views on Origins
What do today's pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins
