Vaporous refinery items incorporate hydrogen, fuel gas, ethane, propane, and butane. The vast majority of the hydrogen is expended in refinery desulfurization offices, which expel hydrogen sulfide from the gas stream and after that different that compound into essential hydrogen and sulfur; little amounts of the hydrogen might be conveyed to the refinery fuel framework. Refinery fuel gas changes in organization yet more often than not contains a lot of methane; it has a warming quality like flammable gas and is expended in plant activities. Occasional fluctuation in warming worth makes it inadmissible for conveyance to purchaser gas frameworks. Ethane might be recuperated from the refinery fuel framework for use as a petrochemical feedstock. Propane and butane are sold as condensed oil gas (LPG), which is a helpful versatile fuel for household warming and cooking or for light modern use.
Engine gas, or oil, must meet three essential necessities. It must give an even burning example, begin effectively in chilly climate, and meet winning ecological prerequisites.
Octane rating
So as to meet the primary necessity, gas must consume easily in the motor without untimely explosion, or thumping. Extreme thumping can disseminate control yield and even reason harm to the motor. At the point when gas motors turned out to be all the more dominant during the 1920s, it was found that a few fills thumped more promptly than others. Test thinks about prompted the assurance that, of the standard energizes accessible at the time, the most extraordinary thump was created by a fuel made out of unadulterated ordinary heptane, while the least thump was delivered by unadulterated isooctane. This revelation prompted the improvement of the octane scale for characterizing fuel quality. Along these lines, when an engine gas gives a similar exhibition in a standard thump motor as a blend of 90 percent isooctane and 10 percent ordinary heptane, it is given an octane rating of 90.
There are two techniques for completing the thump motor test. Research octane is estimated under mellow states of temperature and motor speed (49 °C [120 °F] and 600 cycles for every moment, or RPM), while engine octane is estimated under increasingly serious conditions (149 °C [300 °F] and 900 RPM). For a long time the examination octane number was observed to be the more exact proportion of motor execution and was generally cited alone. Since the coming of unleaded energizes in the mid-1970s, in any case, engine octane estimations have often been found to confine genuine motor execution. Subsequently another estimation, street octane number, which is a basic normal of the exploration and engine esteems, is most as often as possible used to characterize fuel quality for the shopper. Car fuels by and large range from research octane number 87 to 100, while gas for cylinder motor flying machine ranges from research octane number 115 to 130.
Every naphtha part that is mixed into fuel is tried independently for its octane rating. Reformate, alkylate, polymer, and broke naphtha, just as butane, all position high (90 or higher) on this scale, while straight-run naphtha may rank at 70 or less. During the 1920s it was found that the expansion of tetraethyl lead would significantly upgrade the octane rating of different naphthas. Every naphtha part was found to have a remarkable reaction to lead added substances, a few blends being observed to be synergistic and others hostile. This offered ascend to modern systems for structuring the ideal mixes of accessible parts into wanted evaluations of fuel.
The approach of leaded, or ethyl, gas prompted the production of high-octane fills and turned out to be all around utilized all through the world after World War II. In any case, starting in 1975, ecological enactment started to limit the utilization of lead added substances in car fuel. It is currently restricted in the United States, the European Union, and numerous nations around the globe. The required utilization of sans lead fuel has put a premium on the development of new synergist reformers and alkylation units for expanding yields of high-octane gas fixings and on the prohibition of low-octane naphthas from the gas mix.
High-unpredictable and low-unstable segments
The second significant standard for gas—that the fuel be adequately unpredictable to empower the vehicle motor to begin rapidly in chilly climate—is practiced by the expansion of butane, a low-bubbling paraffin, to the gas mix. Luckily, butane is additionally a high-octane part with minimal exchange financial use, so its application has truly been amplified in fuel. Another necessity, that a quality gas have a high vitality content, has customarily been fulfilled by incorporating higher-bubbling segments in the mix. In any case, both of these practices are currently raised doubt about on ecological grounds. A similar high unpredictability that gives great beginning qualities in chilly climate can prompt high evaporative misfortunes of fuel amid refueling tasks, and the incorporation of high-bubbling parts to build the vitality substance of the gas can likewise expand the discharge of unburned hydrocarbons from motors on start-up. Therefore, since the 1990 changes of the U.S. Clean Air Act, a significant part of the gas expended in urban zones of the United States has been reformulated to satisfy stringent new ecological guidelines. At first these progressions necessitated that gas contain certain rates of oxygen so as to help in fuel ignition and diminish the discharge of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. Refiners met this commitment by including some oxygenated mixes, for example, ethyl liquor or methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) in their mixes. Be that as it may, MTBE was before long made a decision to be a risky contamination of groundwater at times where reformulated fuel spilled from transmission pipelines or underground stockpiling tanks, and it was restricted in a few pieces of the nation. In 2005 the prerequisites for explicit oxygen levels were expelled from gas guidelines, and MTBE stopped to be utilized in reformulated fuel. Numerous mixes in the United States contain critical measures of ethyl liquor so as to meet discharges necessities, and MTBE is still added to fuel in different pieces of the world.
Fuel mixing
A standout amongst the most basic financial issues for an oil refiner is choosing the ideal blend of segments to create last gas items. Gas mixing is significantly more entangled than a straightforward blending of parts. Initial, an ordinary refinery may have upwards of 8 to 15 diverse hydrocarbon streams to consider as mix stocks. These may run from butane, the most unstable segment, to a substantial naphtha and incorporate a few fuel naphthas from rough refining, reactant splitting, and warm preparing units notwithstanding alkylate, polymer, and reformate. Present day gas might be mixed to meet all the while 10 to 15 distinctive quality determinations, for example, vapor weight; starting, halfway, and last breaking points; sulfur content; shading; soundness; aromatics content; olefin content; octane estimations for a few unique segments of the mix; and other neighborhood legislative or advertise confinements. Since every one of the individual parts contributes extraordinarily in every one of these quality zones and every bear an alternate expense of production, the best possible allotment of every segment into its ideal attitude is of major monetary significance. So as to address this issue, most refiners utilize straight programming, a scientific system that allows the quick determination of an ideal arrangement from a variety of achievable elective arrangements. Every segment is portrayed by its particular properties and cost of production, and every gas grade necessity is comparably characterized by quality prerequisites and relative market esteem. The straight programming arrangement determines the remarkable manner of every segment to accomplish most extreme working benefit. The subsequent stage is to quantify cautiously the rate of expansion of every part to the mix and gather it away tanks for definite examination before conveying it available to be purchased. All things considered, the issue isn't completely settled until the item is really conveyed into clients' tanks. As often as possible, a minute ago changes in transportation timetables or creation characteristics require the reblending of completed fuels or the substitution of a high caliber (and thusly costlier) grade for one of progressively quick interest despite the fact that it might produce less pay for the refinery.

Phil P.
After a successful high school and college career as a goalkeeper I was left with great memories, but tremendous knee pain. I was diagnosed with osteochondritis dissecans with a large defect that needed repair. After receiving microfracture knee surgery in 2011 I was still not healed and had continuous pain. After many months of research to find the best doctors I chose a team who recommended an allograft transplant surgery. Knowing I was going to need a lot of physical therapy post op, I also researched many physical therapists and found Megan Reilly Jurik and The Recovery Room. Before the transplant I contacted and visited Megan to see if it was a good fit. Megan had unbelievable knowledge on the transplant surgery I was having, talked me through the protocol for therapy even before my surgeon spoke to me about it post op, knew my doctors and their work in the field, and put me completely at ease both physically and mentally before my operation. Megan contacted me before, during, and after my surgery to see how I was feeling and also talked me through all the home therapy I needed to complete before I can return to see her. I felt like she was at my house helping me with my continuous passive motion machine, the game ready ice machine, and any questions i had about discomfort or pain. I know I am in great hands for my recovery and highly reccomend her 100%
Jen A.
I am so grateful for Megan Jurik and the Recovery Room in Waldwick!! The office is great and I love the one-on-one physical therapy approach, it has truly helped me to learn all the tools I need to properly exercise with the therapists and at home.

I'm having quite a hard time trying to find numbers for chips on the 4.2TT platform. I took the RS6 down the Harding Performance to see if they could shed some light on what I could expect if I was to chip it.
Looking over some older information it appeared as though my car was putting out around the same power as a previously chipped RS6. That didn't make much sense since I was fairly certain that my RS6 was stock.
So we decided to pull the ECU out and have a look.
The ECU was still in its original housing and the security bolts were still in place. Upon opening up the ECU we found that the ECU was indeed completely stock.
APR chip has been backordered.

UPDATING THE UGLY AMERICAN IMAGEgreenspun.com : LUSENET : Gore 2004 : One Thread
Thanks to Bush and family, America is updating "The Ugly American" image. Richard Reeves in his 4/5/01 article: "The Superpower Everyone Loves To Hate," tells us how:
"It's just outrageous, isn't it, that those fool Chinese don't understand what a privilege it is to be spied upon by the United States? Do you think they're upset that we have paid bounties in the millions of dollars to defectors from their country and others who have stolen their planes or codes and handed them over for American inspection?
"Remember the Russian pilot who defected with a new MIG-25 and turned it over to us in Japan a few years ago? We, of course, gave the plane back -- nine weeks later, in packing crates.
"By then, obviously, we knew everything there was to know about the MIG-25. You say the Russkies didn't like that? Tough.There is such a thing as the right of a superpower, the global equivalent of the 800-pound gorilla, with sleeping rights wherever and whenever he wants them..."

Many of the restaurants at the properties we have stayed at have been "good", as well as, the service, "consistent" comes to mind. Not complaining about the offerings or dining choices, but was wondering which locations have restaurants that are noteworthy,
It seems less common to stay at a property with a restaurant that are outstanding enough to appeal to diners that are non-hotel guests. Granted, we normally don't stay at hotel categories higher than the Marriott (Full Service) Hotels, so I admit our exposure is a bit limited.
Question: Would you share any noteworthy restaurants you've enjoyed dining at while at SPG/Marriott property?
kharada46, pluto77 and verysuiteboy, I know you are a few of the foodies in the group, thoughts?
We have stayed at San Jose Marriott and have eaten at MIchael Mina's Arcadia restaurant.

So far in 2017, Pacific Biosciences of California (NASDAQ:PACB), also known as PacBio, has yet to report impressive quarterly results. In August, the genetic-sequencing company reported big losses for the second quarter as it had done in the first quarter.
Despite the dismal financial results, PacBio stock has had an up-and-down year. By early September, the company's share price was up more than 45% year to date. However, since then PacBio stock has fallen quite a bit.
PacBio announced its third-quarter results after the market closed on Thursday. The losses continued, but there were some bright spots. Here are the highlights from the company's quarterly update.
PacBio results: The raw numbers
Year-Over-Year Change
|$23.5 million
|$25.1 million
Net income (loss) from continuing operations
|($22.0 million)
|($17.5 million)
Net income (loss) per share
What happened with PacBio this quarter?
Although PacBio's revenue fell from the prior-year period, most of the decline stemmed from the loss of contract revenue from Roche that went away in 2016. Product revenue increased 12.7% year over year to $20.3 million. However, the company reported service and other revenue in the third quarter of $3.2 million, down 7.8% from the prior-year period.
PacBio's bottom line worsened in the third quarter from the same period in 2016 for several reasons. Cost of revenue jumped 22.7% year over year, which lowered the company's gross profit significantly. The loss of the contract revenue was a key factor in this change, because this revenue had a 100% gross margin.
Also, PacBio reported total operating expenses of $29.8 million, up 1.4% from the prior-year period. Although the company reduced research and development costs, higher sales, general, and administrative costs more than offset the decrease in R&D spending.
Net loss per share in the third quarter was the same as the prior-year period. While PacBio lost more money, it also issued additional shares through a public stock offering in June.
The company ended the third quarter with cash, cash equivalents and investments (excluding restricted cash) of $84.0 million. At the end of the second quarter, PacBio's cash stockpile stood at $102.6 million.
Looking forward
PacBio's best chances of becoming profitable in the future probably lie in the Asian market. China generates roughly 30% of the company's total sales, thanks primarily to its largest customer, Novagene. In August, Novagene purchased 10 Sequel gene-sequencing systems. South Korea is another attractive Asian market for PacBio. In the last quarter, South Korean biotech Macrogen ordered several instruments.
Another important thing to watch in the near term with PacBio is its efforts to strengthen its commercial team. The company announced on Thursday that it had hired Kathy Ordonez as its chief commercial officer. Ordonez has over 30 years of industry experience with Roche, Celera, Quest Diagnostics, and RainDance Technologies. She is currently on PacBio's board of directors and will continue to be a board member.
Over the longer run, PacBio's success hinges on its technology. The company is shooting for a 30-fold improvement in throughput over the next two years. A big step in achieving that goal will be a new version of its Sequel SMRT (Single Molecule, Real-Time) cell, which is targeted for release by the end of 2018.

Lego Series 10 dot codes. Baseball guy
The lego series 10 baseball guy is, well, a baseball guy :-)
He has a cap and his mitt and that's pretty much it.
Together with the motorcycle mechanic, he's probably one of the mifigs I like the least.
The baseball mitt is quite cool but other than that, he's not super impressive, BUT the important part is the pic below of the bump codes :-)
Hopefully this helps to complete your Series 10 Baseball Lego minifig set!
What do you think of the baseball guy ?
Any ideas who the Stackers team are named after ?

The Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor has a lot of background information on this piece which, in its present form, dates back to circa 1935.
Princess Diana never owned the tiara, which was in fact her family's property: she borrowed it when needed first from her father, then from her brother. This, and the fact that the Princess wore the tiara quite often, sometimes preferring it to the other piece she had available, on loan from the Queen, the Cambridge Lovers Knot tiara, because it was somewhat lighter and less encumbrant to wear, was reportedly the source of some family tensions.
In fact, the Princess was seen many times during the years of her marriage wearing the tiara, sometimes on State occasions or other important official functions.
Nowadays, due to the Princess' unweavering popularity, the tiara is widely replicated, so that every bride can look the part on her own special day (or on an any ordinary day, really, as even sterling silver rings in the shape of Princess Diana's tiara are now available!).
Five years later, on 23 July 1986, it was Sarah Ferguson's turn to marry into the Royal family, when she wed Prince Andrew.
Her choice of headwear was extremely original, as she chose to wear a floral garland on top of her veil, which she removed after she had signed the wedding register to reveal a rather splendid diamond diadem, which had been bought especially for her by the Queen from Garrard & Co.
The Duchess wore her tiara at a number of State functions in later years.
Then it was quite a long time before we got to see any other new bridal tiaras, and that was at Prince Edward's wedding to Sophie Rhys-Jones thirteen years later, on 19 June 1999. The new Countess of Wessex wore a piece which had been remodeled for her using jewels from the Queen's private collection.
Well, I have to say I'm not a particularly huge fan of the Wessex wedding tiara...It really still looks like four separate pieces haphazardly thrown together, and it does look as though it's perched precariously on her head and probably fixed in place with kirby grips (agh!). And do I even mention the dreadful black-and-white pearl parure designed by Prince Edward as a wedding present? Thought not. I just hope we won't have the misfortune of seeing the necklace in public ever again!
The tiara has grown on me a bit over the years, though, as it's probably the piece the Countess wears more often among the tiaras in her possession, so we get to see it out a lot. It's not that bad, but it's definitely not my favourite either!
I'll see you on Wednesday with a look at the most recent royal weddings!
To be continued...

"Dec. 27. Cleared off yesterday, and continues clear; snow nine feet
deep; wood growing scarce; a tree, when felled, sinks into the snow, and
is hard to be got at."
"Dec. 30. Fine clear morning; froze hard last night. Charles Burger died
last evening about 10 o'clock."
"Dec. 31. Last of the year. May we, with the help of God, spend the
coming year better than we have the past, which we propose to do if it
is the will of the Almighty to deliver us from our present dreadful
situation. Amen. Morning fair, but cloudy; wind east by south; looks
like another snow-storm. Snow-storms are dreadful to us. The snow at
present is very deep."
"Jan. 1, 1847. We pray the God of mercy to deliver us from our present
calamity, if it be His holy will. Commenced snowing last night, and
snows a little yet. Provisions getting very scanty; dug up a hide from
under the snow yesterday; have not commenced on it yet."
"Jan. 3. Fair during the day, freezing at night. Mrs. Reed talks of
crossing the mountains with her children."
"Jan. 4. Fine morning; looks like spring. Mrs. Reed and Virginia, Milton
Elliott, and Eliza Williams started a short time ago with the hope of
crossing the mountains; left the children here. It was difficult for
Mrs. Reed to part with them."
This expedition was only one of many that the emigrants attempted. The
suffering that was endured at these times was indescribable. The broken,
volcanic nature of the summits rendered it extremely difficult to keep
from getting lost. The white, snowy cliffs were everywhere the same.
This party became bewildered and lost near the beautiful Lake Angeline,
which is close to the present "Summit Station" of the Central Pacific.
Had they attempted to proceed, all would undoubtedly have perished.
Within half a mile of the wagon road which now extends from Donner Lake
to the Summit are places where rocks and cliffs are mingled in wildest
confusion. Even in summertime it is difficult to find one's way among
the broken, distorted mountain tops. In the mighty upheaval which
produced the Sierra Nevada, these vast mounds or mountains of frowning
granite were grouped into weird, fantastic labyrinths. Time has wrought
little effect upon their hold precipitous sides, and made slight impress
upon their lofty and almost inaccessible crests. Between these
fragmentary mountains, in shapely, symmetrical bowls which have been
delved by the fingers of the water nymphs and Undines, lie beautiful
lakelets. Angeline is but one of a dozen which sparkle like a chain of
gems between Donner Lake and the snowy, overhanging peaks of Mount
Stanford. The clefts and fissures of the towering granite cliffs are
filled, in summer, with dainty ferns, clinging mosses, and the loveliest
of mountain wild flowers, and the rims of the lakelets are bordered with
grasses, shrubbery, and a wealth of wild blossoms. But in winter this
region exhibits the very grandeur of desolation. No verdure is visible
save the dwarfed and shattered pines whose crushed branches mark the
path of the rushing avalanche. The furious winds in their wild sport
toss and tumble the snow-drifts here and there, baring the sterile
peaks, and heaping the white masses a hundred feet deep into chasm and
gorge. The pure, clear lakes, as if in very fear, hide their faces from
the turbulent elements in mantles of ice. The sun is darkened by dense
clouds, and the icy, shivering, shrieking stormfiends hold undisturbed
their ghastly revels. On every side are lofty battlements of rock, whose
trembling burden of snow seems ever ready to slide from its glassy
foundations of ice, and entomb the bewildered traveler.
Into this interminable maze of rocks and cliffs and frozen lakelets, the
little party wandered. Elliott had a compass, but it soon proved
worthless, and only added to their perplexed and uncertain state of
mind. They were out five days. Virginia's feet became so badly frozen
that she could not walk. This occurrence saved the party. Reluctantly
they turned back toward the cabins, convinced that it was madness to
attempt to go forward. They reached shelter just as one of the most
terrible storms of all that dreadful winter broke over their heads. Had
they delayed their return a few hours, the path they made in ascending
the mountains, and by means of which they retraced their steps, would
have been concealed, and death would have been certain.
"Jan. 6. Eliza came back yesterday evening from the mountains, unable to
proceed; the others kept ahead."
"Jan. 8. Mrs. Reed and the others came back; could not find their way on
the other side of the mountains. They have nothing but hides to live
"Jan. 10. Began to snow last night; still continues; wind
"Jan. 13. Snowing fast; snow higher than the shanty; it must be thirteen
feet deep. Can not get wood this morning; it is a dreadful sight for us
to look upon."
One of the stumps near the Graves-Reed cabin, cut while the snow was at
its deepest, was found, by actual measurement, to be twenty-two feet in
height. Part of this stump is standing to-day.
"Jan. 14. Cleared off yesterday. The sun, shining brilliantly, renovates
our spirits. Praise be to the God of heaven."
"Jan. 15. Clear to-day again. Mrs. Murphy blind; Landrum not able to get
wood; has but one ax between him and Keseberg. It looks like another
storm; expecting some account from Sutter's soon."
"Jan. 17. Eliza Williams came here this morning; Landrum crazy last
night; provisions scarce; hides our main subsistence. May the Almighty
send us help."
"Jan. 21. Fine morning; John Baptiste and Mr. Denton came this morning
with Eliza; she will not eat hides. Mrs. - sent her back to live or die
on them."
The blanks which occasionally occur were in the original diary. The
delicacy which prompted Patrick Breen to omit these names can not fail
to be appreciated. What, if there was sometimes a shade of selfishness,
or an act of harshness? What if some families had more than their
destitute neighbors? The best provided had little. All were in reality
strangely generous. All divided with their afflicted companions. The
Reeds had almost nothing to eat when they arrived at the cabins, yet
this family is the only one which reached the settlements without some
one member having to partake of human flesh.
"Jan. 22. Began to snow after sunrise; likely to continue; wind north."
"Jan. 23. Blew hard and snowed all night; the most severe storm we have
experienced this winter; wind west."
"Jan. 26. Cleared up yesterday; to-day fine and pleasant: wind south; in
hopes we are done with snow-storms. Those who went to Sutter's not yet
returned; provisions getting scant; people growing weak, living on a
small allowance of hides."
"Jan. 27. Commenced snowing yesterday; still continues to-day. Lewis
Keseberg, Jr., died three days ago; food growing scarce; don't have fire
enough to cook our hides."
"Jan. 30. Fair and pleasant; wind west; thawing in the sun. John and
Edward Breen went to Graves' this morning. Mrs. - seized on Mrs. Ñ 's
goods until they would be paid; they also took the hides which herself
and family subsisted upon. She regained two pieces only, the balance
they have taken. You may judge from this what our fare is in camp. There
is nothing to be had by hunting, yet perhaps there soon will be."
"Jan. 31. The sun does not shine out brilliant this morning; froze hard
last night; wind northwest. Landrum Murphy died last night about ten
o'clock; Mrs. Reed went to Graves' this morning to look after goods."
Landrum Murphy was a large and somewhat overgrown young man. The hides
and burnt bones did not contain sufficient nourishment to keep him
alive. For some hours before he died, he lay in a semi-delirious state,
breathing heavily and seemingly in little or no pain. Mrs. Murphy went
to the Breen camp, and asked Mrs. Breen for a piece of meat to save her
starving boy. Mrs. Breen gave her the meat, but it was too late, Landrum
could not eat. Finally he sank into a gentle slumber. His breathing grew
less and less distinct, and ere they were fairly aware of it life was
"Feb. 4. Snowed hard until twelve o'clock last night; many uneasy for
fear we shall all perish with hunger; we have but little meat left, and
only three hides; Mrs. Reed has nothing but one hide, and that is on
Graves' house; Milton lives there, and likely will keep that. Eddy's
child died last night."
"Feb. 5. It snowed faster last night and to-day than it has done this
winter before; still continues without intermission; wind south-west.
Murphy's folks and Keseberg say they can not eat hides. I wish we had
enough of them. Mrs. Eddy is very weak."
"Feb. 7. Ceased to snow at last; to-day it is quite pleasant.
McCutchen's child died on the second of this month."
This child died and was buried in the Graves cabin. Mr. W. C. Graves
helped dig the grave near one side of the cabin, and laid the little one
to rest. One of the most heart-rending features of this Donner tragedy
is the number of infants that suffered. Mrs. Breen, Pike, Foster,
McCutchen, Eddy, Keseberg, and Graves each had nursing babes when the
fatal camp was pitched at Donner Lake.
"Feb. 8. Fine, clear morning. Spitzer died last night, and we will bury
him in the snow; Mrs. Eddy died on the night of the seventh."
"Feb. 9. Mrs. Pike's child all but dead; Milton is at Murphy's, not able
to get out of bed; Mrs. Eddy and child were buried to-day; wind
Feb. 10. Beautiful morning; thawing in the sun; Milton Elliott died last
night at Murphy's cabin, and Mrs. Reed went there this morning to see
about his effects. John Denton trying to borrow meat for Graves; had
none to give; they had nothing but hides; all are entirely out of meat,
but a little we have; our hides are nearly all eat up, but with God's
help spring will soon smile upon us."
"Feb. 12. Warm, thawy morning."
"Feb. 14. Fine morning, but cold. Buried Milton in the snow; John Denton
not well."
"Feb. 15. Morning cloudy until nine o'clock, then cleared off warm. Mrs.
- refused to give Mrs. - any hides. Put Sutter's pack hides on her
shanty, and would not let her have them."
"Feb. 16. Commenced to rain last evening, and turned to snow during the
night, and continued until morning; weather changeable, sunshine and
then light showers of hail, and wind at times. We all feel unwell. The
snow is not getting much less at present."
Chapter IX.
The Last Resort
Two Reports of a Gun
Only Temporary Relief
Weary Traveling
The Snow Bridges
Human Tracks!
An Indian Rancherie
Acorn Bread
Starving Five Times!
Carried Six Miles
Bravery of John Rhodes
A Thirty-two Days Journey
Organizing the First Relief Party
Alcalde Sinclair's Address
Captain R. P. Tucker's Companions.
It is recorded of Lewis and Salvador that they came willingly to the
relief of the emigrants. Two of Sutter's best trained vaqueros,
faithful, honest, reliable, they seemed rather proud when chosen to
assist Stanton in driving the mules laden with provisions for the
starving train. Now they were dying! Horrified at the sight of human
beings eating the flesh of their comrades, they withdrew from the whites
at the "Camp of Death." After that they always camped apart, but
continued to act as guides until they became certain that their own
lives were in danger. Then they fled. Starving, exhausted, with frozen
and bleeding feet, the poor wretches dragged their weary bodies onward
until they reached a little streamlet, and here they lay down to die.
Nine days, with no other food than they could find in the snow, was too
much even for their hardy natures. They were unable to move when the
famished "Seven" passed. Yes, passed! for the starving emigrants went on
by the poor fellows, unable to deprive them of the little spark of life
left in their wasted bodies. Traveling was now slow work for the dying
whites. They only went about two hundred yards. In a few more hours,
perhaps that very night, they would die of starvation. Already the
terrible phantasies of delirium were beginning to dance before their
sunken eyes. Ere the Indians would cease breathing some of the Seven
would be past relief. There were two men and five women. William Foster
could see that his wife - the woman who was all the world to him - was
fast yielding to the deadly grasp of the fiends of starvation. For the
sake of his life she had stifled the most sacred instincts of her
womanly nature, and procured him food from Fosdick's body. Should he see
her die the most terrible of deaths without attempting to rescue her?
Reader, put yourself in this man's place. Brave, generous, heroic, full
of lion-like nobility, William Foster could not stoop to a base action.
Contemplate his position! Lying there prostrate upon the snow was Mrs.
Pike, the woman whom, accidentally, he had rendered a widow. Her babes
were dying in the cabins. His own boy was at the cabins. His comrades,
his wife, were in the last stages of starvation. He, also, was dying.
Eddy had not nerve enough, the women could not, and William Foster
must-what! Was it murder? No! Every law book, every precept of that
higher law, self- preservation, every dictate of right, reason or
humanity, demanded the deed. The Indians were past all hope of aid. They
could not lift their heads from their pillow of snow. It was not simply
justifiable - it was duty; it was a necessity.
He told them, when he got back, that he was compelled to take their
lives. They did not moan or struggle, or appear to regret that their
lingering pain was to cease. The five women and Eddy heard two reports
of a gun.
The "Forlorn Hope" might yet save those who were dying at Donner Lake.
Even this relief was but temporary. Taking the wasted flesh from the
bones, drying it, and staggering forward, the little band speedily
realized that they were not yet saved. It was food for only a few days.
Then they again felt their strength failing. Once more they endured the
excruciating torments which precede starvation.
In the very complete account of this trip, which is kindly furnished by
Mary Graves, are many interesting particulars concerning the suffering
of these days. "Our only chance for camp-fire for the night," she says,
"was to hunt a dead tree of some description, and set fire to it. The
hemlock being the best and generally much the largest timber, it was our
custom to select the driest we could find without leaving our course.
When the fire would reach the top of the tree, the falling limbs would
fall all around us and bury themselves in the snow, but we heeded them
not. Sometimes the falling, blazing limbs would brush our clothes, but
they never hit us; that would have been too lucky a hit. We would sit or
lie on the snow, and rest our weary frames. We would sleep, only to
dream of something nice to eat, and awake again to disappointment. Such
was our sad fate! Even the reindeer's wretched lot was not worse! 'His
dinner and his bed were snow, and supper he had not.' Our fare was the
same! We would strike fire by means of the flintlock gun which we had
with us. This had to be carried by turns, as it was considered the only
hope left in case we might find game which we could kill. We traveled
over a ridge of mountains, and then descended a deep canyon, where one
could scarcely see the bottom. Down, down we would go, or rather slide,
for it is very slavish work going down hill, and in many cases we were
compelled to slide on our shoes as sleds. On reaching the bottom we
would plunge into the snow, so that it was difficult getting out, with
the shoes tied to our feet, our packs lashed to our backs, and ourselves
head and ears under the snow. But we managed to get out some way, and
one by one reached the bottom of the canyon. When this was accomplished
we had to ascend a hill as steep as the one we had descended. We would
drive the toes of our shoes into the loose snow, to make a sort of step,
and one by one, as if ascending stair-steps, we climbed up. It took us
an entire day to reach the top of the mountain. Each time we attained
the summit of a mountain, we hoped we should be able to see something
like a valley, but each time came disappointment, for far ahead was
always another and higher mountain. We found some springs, or, as we
called them, wells, from five to twenty feet under ground, as you might
say, for they were under the snow on which we walked. The water was so
warm that it melted the snow, and from some of these springs were large
streams of running water. We crossed numbers of these streams on bridges
of snow, which would sometimes form upon a blade of grass hanging over
the water; and from so small a foundation would grow a bridge from ten
to twenty-five feet high, and from a foot and a half to three feet
across the top. It would make you dizzy to look down at the water, and
it was with much difficulty we could place our clumsy ox-bow snow-shoes
one ahead of the other without falling. Our feet had been frozen and
thawed so many times that they were bleeding and sore. When we stopped
at night we would take off our shoes, which by this time were so badly
rotted by constant wetting in snow, that there was very little left of
them. In the morning we would push our shoes on, bruising and numbing
the feet so badly that they would ache and ache with walking and the
cold, until night would come again. Oh! the pain! It seemed to make the
pangs of hunger more excruciating."

Month: August 2018
Dear Mark;
SeaWorld confines animals to tiny concrete tanks at marine abusement parks across the country. Often housed with incompatible tankmates, dolphins, whales, and other animals are regularly drugged in order to manage stress-induced aggressive behavior and relieve the endless monotony of swimming in circles.
They break their teeth chewing in frustration on the metal bars and concrete sides of their tanks, and they're forced to perform tricks for tourists in exchange for food—all in the name of entertainment.
It's a business built on the suffering of intelligent, social animals who are denied everything that's natural and important to them.
WestJet recently stopped its promotional support of SeaWorld, and travel giant Thomas Cook has committed to ending ticket sales to the parks. STA Travel, Taco Bell, and Alaska, JetBlue, and Southwest airlines as well as dozens of other responsible companies have already severed ties with the abusement parks.
ACTION – Please send a quick note to Air Canada urging it to join the wave of companies making the compassionate decision to cut ties with SeaWorld.
Thank you for your compassion for animals.
Sincerely yours,
John Di Leonardo, M.S.
Manager, Animals in Entertainment Campaigns

Dear Mark,
The sealers of the Magdalen Islands of Quebec are pressuring the government of Quebec to allow them to kill grey seals who live on and around the nature reserve, Brion Island.
The government of Quebec is considering this proposal. The Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment and the Fight Against Climate Change, Isabelle Melançon, has said that consultations on the matter will begin in September.
The sealers, in typical fashion, are blaming seals for fish population declines at the same time that they pillage the oceans. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans of Canada (DFO), which calls the Atlantic cod "endangered," still allows thousands of tons of the fish to be killed by fishermen. In 2017, the DFO allowed fishermen to kill 13,000 metric tons of this endangered fish.
At the same time, the DFO allows over-fishing of capelin, thus depleting stocks of one of the main prey of cod.
Until the DFO and fishermen recognize that the marine ecosystem is a complex web and that human interference in the web is extremely destructive to this ecosystem, we will continue to see scapegoating of seals along with ever more population collapses, both of fish and marine mammals. The DFO and the fishing industry must change the way they operate, ending industrial-scale fishing and the use of destructive fishing methods like long lines, purse seines and bottom trawlers, and maintaining control of fishing gear so that unintended targets do not become victims of entanglement in their plastic pollution.
PLEASE TAKE ACTION TODAY and send an automated email to the Quebec government. If you are a resident of Quebec, please also participate formally in the public consultations on Brion Island seals. Note: the National Assembly of Quebec was recently dissolved, so if you are a voting citizen in Quebec, please keep this issue in mind in the coming elections.
Other Actions You Can Take for Seals
- Hand out our leaflets. Email us with your mailing address and the number of leaflets you would like us to send.
- Donate to our seal campaigns.
- Be a walking billboard for seals by purchasing a Harpseals.org t-shirt from our e-store or our Variety Store, and help us raise funds by purchasing gifts from our stores.
- Spread the word about the plight of the seals on Facebook and Twitter.
- Volunteer in bigger ways: join Harpseals.org as a volunteer officer or outreach activist.
Thank you for caring and taking action.
For the seals,

You have to decide early!!
You can teach children empathy, respect and affection for animals.
Or you can educate them to future series killer…
My best regards to all, Venus
In the canton of Zurich, a vote will be taken on 23.9.2018 on the initiative "Gamekeeper instead of hunters"!
Because killing should not be a hobby!
The initiative briefly explained:
"Today's hunting is counterproductive!
Due to the intensive hunting of the wild animals their fertility increases, as the animals become sexually mature due to the hunting pressure. This leads to an inventory increase. Hunters cite this artificially generated increase in wildlife populations as a justification for killing wildlife.
Experience and studies have shown that wildlife is largely self-regulated even without hunting (Wild Sanctuary City of Zurich, Canton of Geneva, Luxembourg with ban on fox hunting). In the canton of Geneva, the hunt was replaced in 1974 by a plebiscite in a referendum that proved its worth. This model is to be introduced by the initiative in the canton of Zurich.
Jungle School is currently being shown on UK television.
What a brilliant series – training Orangutan babies who's mothers have been killed by poachers etc to get ready for a life back in the wild.
But only after they have undertaken all their training at the Jungle School.
Superb !!
Orangutan dies after brutal pellet gun, stabbing attack
JAKARTA, Indonesia — A male orangutan on the Indonesian portion of Borneo died after being shot at least 130 times with an air gun and apparently being stabbed and clubbed, in the second known killing of a critically endangered orangutan this year.
Villagers spotted the wounded orangutan in a lake in the Kutai Timur district of East Kalimantan province on Sunday.
Local police chief Teddy Ristiawan said Wednesday that the great ape was still alive when he was taken Monday to a hospital in the town of Bontang.
· 4 elephants found poisoned to death by poachers
A statement from the Center for Orangutan Protection said the orangutan died early Tuesday.
An X-ray showed at least 130 air gun pellets in its body, including more than 70 in its head, the center said.
It said an autopsy found the animal had been blinded as a result of the shooting and also had 17 open wounds believed to be caused by sharp objects. Its left thigh, right chest and left hand were bruised from blunt object trauma.
Ramadhani, a manager of habitat protection at the center who goes by one name, said the death was a terrible event in the history of conflict between orangutans and humans in Indonesia.
"The 130 pellets within the body of a primate is a new record, the most ever," he said.
In mid-January, an orangutan was found decapitated and shot more than a dozen times with an air gun in Central Kalimantan, environmental news website Mongabay reported. Police arrested two rubber farmers suspected in the killing, it said.
The number of orangutans in Borneo and on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, recognized as separate species and both classified as critically endangered, has fallen precipitously since the 1970s.
Orangutans are a protected species in Indonesia and Malaysia, but deforestation has dramatically reduced their habitat and brought them into contact with farmers and plantation workers who kill them to protect crops and for meat.
About 40 percent of Borneo's forests have been lost since the early 1970s and another huge swath of forest is expected to be converted to plantation agriculture in the next decade.

Ideal Protein Phase 2 Explained by Sharon at BonVie Weight Loss and Nutritional Wellness
Let's talk about Phase Two of the Ideal
Protein program. I'm Sharon LaCroix at BonVie Weight Loss
& Nutritional Wellness where we have been in practice with this protocol for over 7
years. Phase 2 of the Ideal Protein protocol begins
after you have reached 90-100% of your weight loss or clothes size goal and is the beginning
of your transition to lifestyle maintenance. The main purpose of Phase 2 is for you learn
how to get the protein you need each day, to keep your weight in balance and to not
burn down muscle. It is also to bring up your calorie count
as we ease you out of intensive fat-burning and into maintenance. In both Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the program
you will be eating successively fewer of the Ideal Protein (IP) meals and more of your
own. This progressively lowers the cost of your
program, but more importantly, reinforces how to make good shopping and eating choices
so that you do not regain your hard earned fat loss when you graduate to Phase 4. Phase 2 is designed to last two weeks only
(although at BonVie we will often abbreviate that to just one week – IF the client has
followed Phase 1 to the letter). You will be having just two IP's a day rather
than three and will be doubling up on your own protein. That means rather than 8 oz of your protein
every day, you will now aim for 16 oz per day. You will still be having your 4 cups of low
glycemic vegetables each day, and your 64 oz of water, vitamins, salt, and, healthy
fats. So a typical Phase 2 day may look like this:
An IP breakfast with one of your delicious and satisfying favorites; then a mid-morning
snack of let's say 2 eggs, or a few oz of sliced ham or turkey. Lunch might be a combination of salad with
veggies and lots of protein, perhaps a subway salad with chicken, turkey or lean ham. In the mid-afternoon our clients want a delicious
IP bar or chips or trail mix. Dinner is the remainder of your protein – if
you have already eaten about 6 oz let's say, then you would have the remaining 10
oz at dinner. After dinner (unless you have eaten very late)
you would have an evening Ideal Protein snack, either sweet or savory. And that's pretty much it. Super simple to follow and exciting for our
dieters as they see the end in sight. Next week it's all about Phase 3 of the
Ideal Protein program – just click on that subscribe button now and we'll send it your
