Before you can create a bibliography you need to have at least one citation and source in your document that will appear in your bibliography. If you don't have all of the information that you need about a source to create a complete citation, you can use a placeholder citation, and then complete the source information later.
For information about automatically formatting your bibliography in MLA, APA, and Chicago-style see: APA, MLA, Chicago: Automatically format bibliographies.
Note Placeholder citations do not appear in the bibliography.
To add more information about a source, click the Show All Bibliography Fields check box.
Now you can create your bibliography.
Now that you've inserted one or more citations and sources in your document you can create your bibliography.

The list of sources that you use can become quite long. At times you might search for a source that you cited in another document by using the Manage Sources command.
If you open a new document that does not yet contain citations, all of the sources that you used in previous documents appear under Master List.
If you open a document that includes citations, the sources for those citations appear under Current List. All the sources that you have cited, either in previous documents or in the current document, appear under Master List.
Note You can click the Browse button in Source Manager to select another master list from which you can import new sources into your document. For example, you might connect to a file on a shared server, on a research colleague's computer or server, or on a Web site that is hosted by a university or research institution.
Occasionally, you may want to create a placeholder citation, and then wait until later to fill in the complete bibliography source information. Any changes that you make to a source are automatically reflected in the bibliography, if you have already created one. A question mark appears next to placeholder sources in Source Manager.
Note Placeholder sources are alphabetized in Source Manager, along with all other sources, based on the placeholder tag name. By default, placeholder tag names contain the word Placeholder and a number, but you can customize the placeholder tag name with whatever tag you want.

This brand-new 46-page pattern book is filled with eight patterns to make 11 stunning projects that everyone will think are knitted!
Superb color photos let you see each design, and the detailed instructions guide you to a fabulous completed project. Even if you are a novice at Tunisian crochet, you'll find all the step-by-step instructions for the basic stitches, and then, move on to tutorials on how to make the cables. Beautiful full-size color photos depict each step in the process from the starting chain to working the cables and completing the stitches.
The Dublin Owl Hat & Mitt set features a cable stitch pattern that forms an owl outlined in a square with tiny pearl buttons for eyes. The Vienna Hat & Scarf set sports a luscious basket-weave cable design, and the Manchester Mitts are perfect for use any day! If you're looking for something stylish, yet with a little flair, the Valencia Wrap with its elongated triangular shape would make a great addition to your wardrobe.

Stitched in Red Heart® Super Tweed, it's a go-anywhere accent you'll love. But if you prefer something that won't slide off your shoulders, the Verona Ruana is exactly what you need. Made shorter than most ruana designs, the split-rectangle styling of the Verona Ruana cascades down in back to just past your waist and then spills over your shoulders in front, leaving your arms free.

The SRC Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) gateway is a Diameter-based component in the SRC software, which provides integration with 3GPP Policy and Charging Control environments, to provide fixed-mobile convergence (FMC).
The SRC 3GPP gateway provides Gx-based integration with the Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF). The SRC 3GPP gateway uses the Gx interface to mediate between the PCRF and Juniper Networks routers like the E Series Broadband Services routers and MX Series routers. Figure 1 shows an example network configuration where the SRC 3GPP gateway acts as a mediator between the PCRF and an MX Series router. The Gx interface on the SRC 3GPP gateway communicates with the PCRF using the Diameter protocol.

Is the gut the key to disease?
There are more receptors in the gut that affect the brain than the entire body combined. Many researchers believe the entire immune system is affected more by gut health than all other systems in the body. They believe that all diseases, including autism, stroke, autoimmune diseases, heart disease, mental illness, and cancer could be dramatically reversed if more attention were paid to the gut. This would indicate that the leading cause of all disease lies in the damage to the gut. It is theorized by leading researchers that healing the gut will reverse the trend for most diseases. What are some of the damages that you think cause the most harm? How do you think the problem can be resolved? Do you believe this theory is an exaggeration? What do you believe is the core issue of healing?

Apr 1 2013: There is a wonderful series done on bacteria and the gut and the brain and emotions. The exudate from pathogens can poison the gut, which in turn affects memory, though processes and even contributes to depression or emotional issues. The use of drugs exacerbates the entire process with poison of the liver; all of it causing a brain fog. You may find it at www.testingcancer.com; they have articles about these issues sometimes.

A.Ventilation consultant
Andy Shapiro responds: In general, opening and
closing the doors provides enough ventilation for
vestibules. My guess is that there is a source of
odor in these vestibules that is leading to the
air-quality complaints. Could the problem be caused
by the smell of boots taken off and left in the
mudroom? Mold from excess moisture from some
source? Off-gassing of materials or finishes?
The first approach with any indoor air-quality
problem is to identify the pollution source. After
the source has been reduced as much as is
practical, ventilation can be used if necessary to
dilute the remaining, hopefully low, concentration
of offending air.
If the house has a whole-house ducted
ventilation system, such as a heat-recovery
ventilation system, and the source of the smell
cannot be reduced to acceptable levels, then a
small exhaust from the vestibule could be connected
to the whole-house system. But first, find the

ALBANY — The mail processing facility in Albany will not close before mid-May in 2012.
The United States Postal Service, in response to a request made by multiple U.S. Senators, has agreed to delay the closing or consolidation of any post office or mail processing facility until May 15, 2012.
The Postal Service will continue all necessary steps required for the review of these facilities during the interim period, including public input meetings.
Officials with USPS say they hope this period will help facilitate the enactment of comprehensive postal legislation.
Given the Postal Service's financial situation and the loss of mail volume, the Postal Service is taking steps to reduce costs and increase revenue.

First Trax :: Daily News
The Calm Before the Storm
It has been a relatively quiet 24 hours at our member resorts – too quiet, I think something is up. OK, maybe that is just me trying to inject a little drama into my morning report. With a few exceptions, just about everyone had warm temps overnight preventing them from turning the guns on. But this is OK, as cold temps and snow are on the way.
A Winter Storm Watch is still in effect for most of the North Carolina and West Virginia resorts as well as Wisp in Maryland. Still calling for rain to switch over to snow this afternoon with predicted accumulations of 3-6" with up to 8" possible at the higher elevations. Needless to say the resorts are prepping for the return of snowmaking temps and to graciously welcome the natural stuff.
The timing for this could not be better. Snow developing this afternoon, tonight, and maybe tomorrow along with the cold temps means GREAT skiing and riding conditions will be in order for the weekend. Start packing now and reschedule your weekend plans (and maybe any Friday afternoon meetings).
If you haven't had the chance to check out Brad Panovich's weather forecast from a few days ago you should as he takes a deep dive into the snow we're about to see. You can check out his ski forecast here. Our West Virginia skiing weatherman Herb Stevens also has an updated forecast that you shouldn't miss. We've got you covered when it comes to what you can expect at the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic resorts.
As I said, a few or our resorts were able to pump out some snow yesterday. Cataloochee added 2" to their base and is skiing on 34-48". Snowshoe opened up additional terrain with the green Yew Pine off of Powderidge at Snowshoe proper. This brings their open terrain up to 184 acres. Canaan is not to be left out and opened 1 more run while Wisp was able to add 2 more to the count - the green Little Dipper and the black Odin's Chute.
Winterplace West Virginia has a coupon that will get you $10 off a single day ticket or learn to ski/board package or $5 off tubing for this Saturday or Sunday. You need to print out the coupon below and present it to the cashier.
That's it for me today. Like I said, a relatively quiet morning. I look forward to sharing more with you tomorrow!
Take care out there.

I have a very good friend who is so pumped about seeing New Kids on the Block tonight at Philips Arena. She has been sharing videos from the band on Facebook for the last few weeks.
This friend is a little bit younger than me. I like New Kids on the Block but I wasn't that into them. I think I connected more with New Edition.
Boys II Men and 98 Degrees are joining NKoB on the tour.
My friend is taking her daughter on Friday to see One Direction so the tradition continues.
Which boy band do you remember the most? Which band would you be most excited to see perform? How do you think One Direction and the Jonas Brothers compare to the older boy bands? Do you take your daughter to see boy bands too?

'NSync. My middle child just fell in love with them. We went to a couple of their concerts. I remember seeing Justin Timberlake for the first time, live. He was awesome. I told my daughter, that boy is going places, he is very talented!!!!. We LOVE Justin Timberlake!!!! I love that movie "Friends with Benefits". He is such a little cutie!
Of course, I'm of the Osmonds era. I remember when my dad took my brother and me to see them in Denver. I was in 7th grade and I thought I was the bomb. None of my friends had tickets, I was the only one!!!! Our car broke down on the interstate, and I was devastated, and started crying. I thought for sure I was going to miss this concert. Fortunately for us, there was a tow truck right behind us, we got towed, my dad got a rental car, and we made it to the concert in time. Gosh I remember that like it was yesterday, not 40+ years ago…LOL.
June 20th, 2013
7:33 am
A friend of mine is excited to see NKOTB tonight too.
I didn't get into the boy bands. REM, Motley Crue, Aerosmith, YES,Van Halen that was my speed. If I were slowing it down it might be Journey, Chicago, or Duran Duran.
What do I think of Jonas Brothers? Nick Jonas the real talent in that family. I actually enjoy hearing the music he done…especially without his brothers.
1D is ok. They are good for summer radio music anyway.
Mine don't really like Jonas or 1D. They do like Salena Gomez, Pink, Usher, Maroon 5, GA-FL line, Flo Rida, etc. They want to see Salena Gomez in concert one day.
June 20th, 2013
7:34 am
Oh yeah Nivana, Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers…they would be in the playmix at my house too. I just like good music.
June 20th, 2013
7:35 am
sorry "he has done". I am not from Utah and I can be grammatically correct.
June 20th, 2013
7:39 am
FCM those are some of my favs. My kids tell me all the time I'm stuck in the 70's. Best musical era EVER!!!
June 20th, 2013
7:59 am
…you may be stuck in the 70's (and I totally agree that that time was the best musical era ever), but half the groups FCM mentioned are 80's bands, though all of them, as John "Cougar" Mellencamp once said, R O C K in the USA…
June 20th, 2013
8:03 am
You were doing okay for a while (comma) but lately your grammar is going down hill again.
June 20th, 2013
8:22 am
@Uh Mayhem……Sorry, but Van Halen, YES, Journey, Chicago Aerosmith – I'm pretty sure they were around in the 70's.
But not Motley Crue – 1981, or REM – 1980
So yea, I'm stuck in the 70's. Again, best musical era EVER.
June 20th, 2013
8:32 am
… I said "half" the groups…I wasn't too far off…
June 20th, 2013
8:35 am
…and, although Journey has been around (in one form or another) since about 1975 they did not hit it big until about 1981…
June 20th, 2013
8:35 am
OK, I'll give you that!!! LOL
June 20th, 2013
8:39 am
They all $uck. These bands don't know how to make music…they rely 100% on studio producers. Thats why they lip sinc in concert.
June 20th, 2013
8:39 am
@ Mayhem…I didn't even get to the Eagles, Queen (was there anyone better than Freddie Mercury?….although the One Night of Queen tribute concert was AMAZING!), Rush, Springsteen, Zepplin, Black Sabbath, ABBA (yeah, yeah it is chick music I know!)…I could go on.
Oh yeah my child reminds me that I do like Blondie, Go-Gos, Joan Jett & the Blackharts, and the Eurthymics. She likes those too.
My father made sure we were exposed to all kinds of music (classical, "classic rock", country, jazz, etc). Also music theater which he and my mother often enjoyed down at The Fox. I am in turn doing the same to my kids. Only really obnoxious stuff
@ Uh Mayhem…you get to things like YES and Michael Jackson which both the 70s and 80s claim (though Yes was also around in the 60s and I like the older stuff better than the 80s stuff….but even with the 80s, you can give me Trevor Rabin any day! Side note: Mr Rabin also wrote for Aerosmith, and has also worked with more recent groups. Mr Rabin and Nick Jonas are those truly talented folks who bridge decades well.) I actually saw YES in concert twice…center stage 4th row when Rabin played the last time in Atlanta.
I was lucky to be in HS 1984 – 1988 so both the 70s and 80s and 90s music (and I grant that 70s was better) is a part of my history.
June 20th, 2013
8:42 am
When Steve Perry joined the band in 1977, that's when they took off. Their 4th Album, Infinity, reached number 21 on the Albums chart in 1978.

8:50 am
Was never really into the "Boy Bands"..My favorite band of all time is The Eagles..Went to see them for the first time when I was 13 and like Mayhem thought that was the best thing ever..Two weeks after I saw them went to see Bad Company and Peter Frampton..Again, in hog heaven..
Like Mayhen, I remember seeing the Osmonds when I was about 13/14..I only saw them because my older sister wanted to go..I always listened to the music that my older brothers and sisters listened to..I also listened to a lot of older country growing up..
@FCM..Never really listened to Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana or Red Hot Chili Peppers..I just perfer the older (70's&80's) music…
June 20th, 2013
9:00 am
Aw the Eagles. Has anyone see The History of The Eagles? They are one band I have never seen live.
I've seen The Osmonds, Allman Brothers (twice, front row & 5th row), seen the Stones several times, Fleetwood Mac (twice); Bob Segar, Elton John (too many times to count), Billy Joel, Billy Joel & Elton together (very awesome), The Who, Rush, Journey, Prince, Red Rider (Lunatic Fringe), Jefferson Airplane, Bruce, 'Nsync, NKOTB, Britney Spears (ewww, did that with my youngest). Tons of others, but I can't think of them now. I'd have to go through my ticket stash. I've saved every ticket to every concert I've been to.
June 20th, 2013
9:02 am
Never got into boy bands. I am a teen of the late 80s/early 90s so you can imagine what my favorite type of music is. To this day I still like Tool and Cake.
June 20th, 2013
9:04 am
TWG – I"m with you. I'm ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL about New Edition even now! I've been in love with Ronnie since 1983. HAHAHA
I wouldn't mind seeing NKOTB for fun. Most of my groups/artists from back in the day only play occassionally or not at all.
June 20th, 2013
9:04 am
Never was into them at all. Now give me the Beatles, or Seals and Crofts, or CTA, or Charlie Daniels/Marshall Tucker, Crosby, Stills, Nash (and Young)'and I would really enjoy it!
June 20th, 2013
9:25 am
I've never been a fan of CSNY. Don't care for the group America either. LOVE Charlie Daniels, and Marshall Tucker Band.
I cannot stand today's country music. It all sounds the same to me. I love the older stuff, Waylon, Willie, Johnny Cash, etc.
I also love Big Band music.
I'm crazy about Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and that genre. My parents were married in 1955 and lived in Las Vegas. They saw Dean, Frank & Sammy perform all the time. They would just pop into one of the hotels/casinos, and start singing/performing around midnight. My parents have some pretty awesome pictures from way back then.
We always had music on in the house growing up. One of my favs back then was Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. I still to this day, have music on when I'm home. I've put all my CD's on my iPhone and can listen to whatever I want, whenever I want!!!!!
June 20th, 2013
9:32 am
Oh, and I forgot Neil Diamond!!!
June 20th, 2013
9:38 am
@ Mayhem….glad you are having a good time today! You needed a topic you like and this one is probably it, considering you have posted 7 times so far ( if I can count…haha).
While I love to sing with children and adults, I do not like any noise when I am home and rarely even have the TV on. I was in 5 hotels last week and only watched one show all week long. I prefer instrumentals when I am on long car trips or books on a CD. So, I have nothing for this topic. Have a good day!
June 20th, 2013
10:02 am
@MJG – Yes, this is a fun topic!!! I am a music junkie, and like I said earlier, I ALWAYS have music on. Right now I'm listening to When the Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin on my iPhone, one of my favorites.
June 20th, 2013
10:03 am
I loved New Kids when I was 12-13 and wouldn't mind going with my best friend for a cheesy evening of reminiscing — the first concert we ever went to was NKOTB back in 91. I don't think I'd introduce kids to their music, though. It's really pretty terrible, and they need to discover their own horrible boy bands to cringe about 20 years from now.
June 20th, 2013
10:46 am
@Mayhem..No offense, but you sound like you need a T-shirt that I ordered for my sister…I May be Old, But I've Seen All of The Good Bands..She's 57 and loves it..
I have seen the Eagles three times..Front row every time..Fleetwood Mac (5-6 times) Bob Seger..AC/DC..Neil Diamond..Tony Bennett..Bonnie Ratt..Peter, Paul & Mary..Van Halen (2-3 times) NKOTB..Britney Spears..Hank Jr (about 6 times)..Tom Petty..Alan Jackson..Willie Nelson (3-4 times)..Charlie Daniels..Tina Turner..Rod Stewart..
Like Mayhem, to many to list and remember..Growing up, we went to a lot of country concerts..I try to get the kids now to listen to all kinds of music..
June 20th, 2013
10:48 am
@ Mayhem – You have some good taste in music – you named some great ones (Waylon, Willie, Johnny Cash, Frank Sinatra, Neil Diamond, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass). It sounds like you were exposed to a lot of great music as a child. We are doing the same for my son. He likes a wide range of music, including jazz, bluegrass, Celtic, pop, blues, and right now, he is really into Ecuadorian/Pan Flute music.
I was a teen in the 70's in the Atlanta Area. I recall seeing Peter Frampton and Billy Joel at the Omni. I also saw a great concert of the Carpenter's in 1972 at the Macon Coliseum. I remember my sister and her friends seeing the Bay City Rollers at the Fox Theatre, which was a really popular band with the teen girls for a year or so (they wore those pants that were about six inches too short, and some of the girls at school began to wear them for awhile).
Does anyone remember the DeFranco Family (Heartbeat It's a Love Beat)? The were similar to the Osmonds. I remember having their music on our 8-Track portable player. In my senior year (1978), Styx, Queen, Aerosmith, Chicago, ELO – Electric Light Orchestra were popular. I agree that the 70's music is the best decade for pop music.
June 20th, 2013
11:46 am
@Ann..I remember the Bay City Rollers and the DeFranco Family..Did you ever go see the Bee Gee's? I saw them on their farewell tour..Nothing quiet so nice as Barry coming abck out on the stage in them skin tight spandex pants with no shirt on..:)
George Jones and Tammy Wynette..Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty..I saw Waylon Jennings more times than I can count..
June 20th, 2013
12:05 pm
I think if you grew up in the Atlanta area & are old enough to have stood/camped out at Turtle's to get tickets to a concert you probably know great music. If you have no idea what I am talking about…
June 20th, 2013
12:08 pm
@ Ann when Karen Carpenter died we lost a truly gifted person. I still love hearing the music and could she play those skins or what! Joan Jett gets lots of credit for helping women break into real rock bands…but Ms. Carpenter certainly showed there was path to be made!
June 20th, 2013
12:20 pm
@Ann yes, I was exposed to ALL kinds of music growing up. My parents loved music and played a lot of various genres. I also played the piano, the violin, and sang in chorus all through school. Music has always been a love of mine. I stopped the Violin in high school, but still love to tinker on a piano. My parents still have the one I took lessons on, way back in the 70's.
My brother won't go play music trivia without me!
Does anyone remember the show "Name that Tune"? I loved that show, and was pretty good at it. I can name that tune in 10 beats. LOL
June 20th, 2013
12:48 pm
I am a 70's music junkie, too – and, yes, FCM, I stood in line at Turtles on Peachtree for tickets to Fleetwood Mac/The Eagles concert in 1976 – I was home for the summer from grad school.
I laughed when I read the line from Mayhem about the music trivia – I was on a cruise this past spring when they had a 70's music trivia contest – it was me, by myself, against teams that had 4-6 people about my age on them. I was 20 for 20, and one other group that had 6 people to help name the songs had the same score – the playoff for the win was to name the groups that sang the songs – I blew them away!
June 20th, 2013
12:54 pm
The Jacksons — The Jackson 5 was a few years before my time. The Jacksons were my era. Loved 'em! The Jacksons' Victory tour was my first tour…very fond memories!
June 20th, 2013
1:01 pm
My bad – it was actually Peach's on Peachtree (near Peachtree Battle), not Turtles…
June 20th, 2013
1:10 pm
I remember Turtles. You had a book, and every time you made a purchase they gave you stamps. Once you filled up the book, you got like $5 off a record. I also remember camping overnight Turtles at NorthEast Plaza to get tickets to some concert, I don't remember which one.
And I remember Peaches on Peachtree. So many friends had their crates for record holders. I don't think any apartment in the 70's didn't have a Peaches crate somewhere.
June 20th, 2013
1:32 pm
I can't believe no one mentioned CCR. I think kids these days don't know what good music is. Like others, I loved the 70's!!
June 20th, 2013
1:32 pm
Well lakerat and Mayhem you know good music then! Tower Records in Buckhead was another one.
June 20th, 2013
1:34 pm
@ jmb…there is some good music out there…Personally I like most of Pink and Katy Perry ….but then you have those who think Nicki Manaj can sing (she can't…she makes my ears bleed).
June 20th, 2013
2:03 pm
Can't stand Katy Perry or Nicki Manaj. Katy Perry's music sounds like marching music and Nicki is just way too out there for me…..none of my kids like her either.
Here's some of what's on my phone:
Pink Floyd (no one's mentioned them)
The Cars (them either)
Johnny Cash
Molly Hatchet
ZZ Top
Allman Bros
Joe Satriani
Simon & Garfunkel
The Moody Blues
Jimmy Buffett
Guns N Roses
Duran Duran
Def Leppard
Collective Soul
Kings of Leon
Zac Brown Band
Led Zeppelin
The Beatles
The Who
Van Halen

I knew this bunch would have pedestrian musical tastes. : /
June 20th, 2013
2:26 pm
Grasshopper did you want the Dead Milkmen? Violent Femmes? Psychedelic Furs? Jane's Addiciton?
What would you say is not "pedestrian"
June 20th, 2013
2:30 pm
@ Mayhem I like Katy's music for working out. Maybe because of the "march" sound?
I'll even admit to liking some of Gaga. Usher too.
June 20th, 2013
3:09 pm
That list certainly helps with your cred FCM. But how about some talent from this century? Top of my head:
Black Angels
Jack White
Mike Wexler
Darkness Falls
Wye Oak
Sun Airway
Groove Armada
Vampire Weekend
Band of Horses
Bat for Lashes
They say that people get stuck in the decade of music that they grew up with. I've found that my tastes change all the time. While I still like and don't mind listening to music that I grew up with, I'd rather hear something new and different. I have been listening to Ga. State radio – Album 88 – for 30 years now. The thought of listening to commercial radio churns my stomach.
June 20th, 2013
5:20 pm
Can't forget Eagles!

5:22 pm
I remember the early 90s when Weezer was liked by school girls. It's too bad so many school girls get sucked into the whole boy band scene. I am a child of the 80s and as much as we enjoyed seeing naked Samantha Fox pictures, we sure as hell had no desire to see her in concert.
I have nieces who listen to Pink or Beyonce. Thankfully, no boy band crap for them.
June 20th, 2013
5:23 pm
Early 90s were great. right after the crappy late 80s boy band crap and right before the late 90s boy band crap. That's why girls probably were forced to listen to better music like Weezer
June 20th, 2013
7:14 pm
Hey y'all! Been a little bit! This topic is right up my ally! I had tix to the NKOTB concert tonight. But work forced me to travel:( So my pals are all texting and snap chatting me while I work…Per the topic…Prince was my man in the 80's. Journey, Joy Division, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Jeff Buckley, Radio Head, and Duran Duran. Current loves inlcude…..John Mayer, Alt-J, Muse, 30 Seconds to Mars and The Temper Trap. My musical tastes tend to run a bit British. Taking the kids to Music Midtown this September. I mean come on….Journey, Weezer, Imagaine Dragons AND Red Hot Chili Peppers????? Its glorious! Hope you are all well!!! Especially you Theresa!

@ Becky – I never saw the Bee Gee's in concert, but would have loved to have gone to one of their shows. When my son was an infant, we danced around the Family Room frequently to their music. Great stuff. We still listen to their songs.
@ FCM – That's a good point about Karen Carpenter paving the way for women. She really had about the best female singing voice of any pop singer, so velvety and pleasant. It's hard not to smile when you hear their music. We downloaded some of their holiday songs this past season and it was fun to hear them again. My 8 year old really likes Rainbow Connection.
I remember Turtles, too, and the stamps. I think they continued those up into the early 90's. I shopped for awhile at the one near Southlake Mall and later years, at the one on Peachtree Road in South Buckhead.
@ Mayhem – As a teen, I enjoyed watching Name That Tune also. We have played a little version of it in the car on road trips.

A year ago, I launched M29, a URL shortener with a twist. Apparently I forgot to announce it here. Whoops.
Normal URL shorteners are fairly simple. You submit a long URL. The service generates a short URL. The long and short URL are placed in a backend database. If you go to the short URL, it redirects to the long URL.
This means that the URL shortener service has a large database of URLs available to it. While 99% of the contents of this database may be mundane, it's still a large, centralized source of information. Very relevant to the recent NSA news, for example.
M29's twist is, except when serving the redirect, it does not know anything about the contents of the long URLs. This is accomplished by generating an AES-128 key, using it to encrypt the long URL, and then splitting the key in two. One half of the key is stored in the backend service, and the other half is encoded as part of the short URL itself. This means the only time the two parts of the key come together is when the short URL is requested for the redirect.
The net effect is, while I currently have a database of about 10,000 entries, I cannot read them. Source IP and URI logging are not done on the server, so the only way I can find a long URL is if I load a full short URL, which is not possible given just the backend database.
Anyway, this weekend I did some work on M29, including adding a bit.ly-style preview option (append a "+" to the short URL to get its info), among other small feature additions and fixes. It was then I realized, by going to that above short URL (the first URL generated and used in documentation) that the one-year anniversary of the service is today.

The original Half-Life and Counter-Strike games were quietly released for Linux and Mac OS X last week, and as the maintainer of SteamLink, a repackaging of Half-Life: Uplink for Steam, I went out to see if the mod's files could be installed on these platforms.
Turns out there is a bug in Steam for these platforms, where it tries to launch the Windows version of Half-Life for GoldSrc mods from within Steam. However, Half-Life can be manually launched and pointed at the mod.
I have released a new version of SteamLink as a zip file. If you would like to run Half-Life: Uplink on Linux or OS X, simply download and extract the zip, and run the installer shell script. It will determine the Half-Life installation directory, install the mod, and give you a symlink to a script to launch it.

I'm working on re-doing my home router / VM server to provide better IO. The goal is to have an SSD as the boot drive, and 4 2TB disks in RAID 10 (4TB usable total) for the VMs. I'll be using md RAID for building it, however I want to be particular about where the drives are physically, for a few reasons:
Linux md RAID 10 is a relatively new mode. In the past, you would manually create multiple RAID 1 arrays, then combine them in RAID 0, thereby knowing where the disks were placed, since you were doing it yourself. The mdadm RAID 10 method is easier, but I found there is literally no documentation on what drives it uses for the underlying RAID 1 arrays. Using loopback devices and some trial and error, I figured out how the arrays are assembled.
In a nutshell, the underlying RAID 1 arrays are paired two at a time, in order given during creation. If you were to do this:
# mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=10 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sd{a,b,c,d}1
sda1 and sdb1 form one RAID 1 array, and sdc1 and sdd1 form another:
|---------------------------| | RAID0 | |---------------------------| | RAID1 | RAID1 | |-------------|-------------| | sda1 | sdb1 | sdc1 | sdd1 | |---------------------------|
One other thing to mention is what happens when multiple drives are lost. Say in this case, both sda1 and sdd1 are lost, resulting in a degraded but functional array:
# mdadm --fail /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 # mdadm --remove /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 # mdadm --fail /dev/md0 /dev/sdd1 # mdadm --remove /dev/md0 /dev/sdd1 |---------------------------| | RAID0 | |---------------------------| | RAID1 (D) | RAID1 (D) | |-------------|-------------| | | sdb1 | sdc1 | | |---------------------------|
If you were to replace sdd and add it back first, you might think it would go in the second RAID 1 array. But no, it takes the first available degraded slot:
# mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdd1 |---------------------------| | RAID0 | |---------------------------| | RAID1 | RAID1 (D) | |-------------|-------------| | sdd1 | sdb1 | sdc1 | | |---------------------------|
So be careful in this situation, if you care about where the devices are physically laid out.
[0] Half of the order actually arrived Friday, including the SSD and a 4-port PCIe 4x SATA 6Gbps controller. The idea was to place two of the RAID drives on the motherboard SATA 6Gbps controller, and two on the new controller, plus the boot SSD (which is also SATA 6Gbps). My system has 3 PCIe 1x ports and a PCIe 16x port. The 4x card was supposed to go in the 16x port, but I learned after failure that many motherboards do not like non-video cards in the primary 16x port. Oh well. The boot SSD will now go on one of the motherboard SATA 3Gbps ports, and I've got an order in for a 2-port PCIe 1x SATA 6Gbps controller.

I'm not a programmer, honest, but lately I've had this annoying habit of releasing code. But instead of my normal rambling posts about new announcements, I'll try to keep it brief.
apache-vsl has been one of my "90/90" projects (90% done, just need to finish the remaining 90%) for many years; I believe I started it around 2006, and I finally got the urge to finish and release it to the public. It's an Apache logging daemon (managed by Apache itself), capable of intelligently handling multiple VirtualHosts while being as efficient and extensible as possible. It's specifically built for two use cases -- servers which have a large number of VirtualHosts (hundreds or more), and VirtualHosts which receive a lot of traffic -- but it's easy enough to manage that it's useful with any Apache installation.
You can define time-based log files (monthly, daily, hourly... it's all just strftime), and apache-vsl handles when to log to a new file according to your definition. It manages symlinks to both the current and previous logfiles (for example, access_log.2012-08 -> access_log and access_log.2012-07 -> access_log.old), and has support for program triggers when a rotation happens (say, for running Webalizer against the old logfile, or compressing it).
apache-vsl manages its open files efficiently, so for a server with many VirtualHosts (not all of which may be accessed very often), all of the VirtualHosts' log files won't be open at once, but for VirtualHosts which are accessed frequently, the log filehandle will not constantly be opening and closing.
apache-vsl shares many features with cronolog, but while cronolog is designed more for splitting logfiles after the fact (if you were to use it directly from Apache, you'd need to have Apache open a dedicated pipe for every VirtualHost), apache-vsl is designed to communicate with Apache with a single pipe for multiple VirtualHosts.
A lot of good documentation is available in the manpage, so if you're interested, I suggest you start there.

My Raspberry Pi, the $35 barebones computer, arrived last week. I bought it for three primary reasons:
I ordered early on a Thursday morning, expecting 3-4 weeks before it shipped per Element14's estimates. So I was quite surprised when I got a shipment notification later in the day. I'm guessing Element14 had a batch in, and was processing the backorders from the last few weeks, and somehow my order got mixed into that. So hey, yay instant gratification!
Shortly after that, Adafruit's clear acrylic case became available again, so I ordered that as well. I was expecting a tighter fit, but instead it bounces around a bit within the case. It's still sturdy enough to do its job, and looks nice, though the top panel no longer has the etched Raspberry Pi logo like I've seen on previous photos.
I also ordered some cables and a powered USB hub from Monoprice (gotta love $5 next day shipping to California/Nevada), and a high power iPad USB charger from OWC, but that turned out to be unnecessary. The 7-port Monoprice USB hub seems to provide enough power to power the Raspberry Pi itself, along with some accessories.
In the above setup, I've got it powering the Raspberry Pi (with HDMI output, plus 16GB SDHC card), a keyboard and mouse, a 4GB USB thumb drive, and my Defcon 20 badge. Not only does the Raspberry Pi boot, but I gave it a stress test for a few hours: Running a Quake 3 Arena 1920x1080 demo on loop (GPU), while simultaneously running Bonnie++ on the USB thumb drive (CPU and IO). It successfully did that for the entire test, so I'm confident in the power performance of the USB hub.
Now, I have no real plans for it; it'll probably sit, powered on in the corner of my office, for if I need to test something on an ARM system. But I do like the concept of its primary purpose. My first computer was a Vic 20 (predecessor to the Commodore 64), and then a Commodore 128 (backwards-compatible successor to the Commodore 64). I have fond memories of those computers, and they helped shape the course of the rest of my life. I like how the Raspberry Pi has both HDMI and Composite output, meaning it supports any TV or monitor made in the last 5 years or so, plus at least the previous 50 years of TVs. (Remember RF adapters?) This really lowers the barrier of computer use for your average child.
However, there is one problem with the Raspberry Pi I really disagree with. Namely, it requires an operating system. A 440MB operating system, as well as the means to get it onto an SD card. An operating system that could easily be destroyed by curious fingers. This could be a huge barrier.
One of the things about my Vic 20 and Commodore 128 was I didn't have any cartridges or pre-bought software. Just the computer, a tape drive, and some CR-90 tapes. All value I got out of them was either by typing in BASIC programs from BYTE or Commodore magazines, or creating programs myself.
The Raspberry Pi really needs an onboard ROM with some sort of simple language on it, such as BBC BASIC, and the ability to save directly to SD cards. Upon boot, if the SD card contains a bootloader pointing to a full operating system, boot that, but if not, load the BASIC ROM.

You may remember about a year ago when I released twuewand, a TrueRand implementation. TrueRand is a hardware entropy generation technique, implemented in software. In a nutshell, it works by setting an alarm for a few milliseconds in the future, and flipping a bit until the alarm is reached. It works due to the fact that time (your computer's RTC) and work (your computer's CPU) are not linked, so the result when the alarm comes due is unpredictable.
TrueRand was invented in 1995, and had mostly been forgotten for the last decade, until I started doing research on it last year. So it was quite a surprise when I was at Dan Kaminsky's talk at DEFCON a few weeks ago, and one of the topics he brought up was TrueRand. (Go check out his presentation slides; I just want to point out that while I'll be focusing on entropy and debiasing here, he goes into a lot of other interesting topics.)
Dan came to roughly the same conclusion as I did, that entropy sources have gotten worse over time, not better, and systems like VMs are almost completely devoid of entropy. Even more worrying, a paper published this year came to the conclusion that approximately 1 out of every 200 public keys on the Internet are easily breakable, not due to weaknesses in the encryption, but by bad entropy being used when generating the keypair. TrueRand may have been forgotten, but it's needed today more than ever. Dan and I talked for awhile after his talk, and went over a few things by email in the week following. twuewand 2.0's new features are influenced by those discussions.
Dan proposed a number of enhancements for TrueRand, mostly centered around other ideas for measuring variances given only a CPU and RTC, but what caught my eye was his idea of enhancing debiasing.
Many forms of random data are random in the technical sense, but are prone to bias. As an theoretical example, take a gun placed in a sturdy mount and pointed at a target not too far away. Most of the time, shots from it will hit the same spot every time (0), but occasionally they won't (1). So you're left something like 00000001000001001100000010000010; mostly hits, but with random misses. So it's random in a technical sense, but the distribution is heavily weighted toward one side.
The simplest method of debiasing is known as Von Neumann debiasing. Bits are processed as pairs, and any pair that is both 0 or both 1 is simply thrown out. Out of the pairs that are left, {0,1} becomes 0 and {1,0} becomes 1. So in the example above, the Von Neumann debiased output would be 00101. The data is now distributed better, but as you can tell, a lot was lost in the process. This is an extreme example since the data was heavily biased to begin with, but in data without a lot of bias, you still lose at least 50% of the bits (I've found 70-75% in real-world twuewand usage).
Dan thought, "Hmm, that's an awful lot of data simply being thrown out. We can't use the discarded data in the direct output, but perhaps we can use it to better (de-)influence the final output." He came up with a method he called modified Von Neumann, which I refer to in twuewand as Kaminsky debiasing.
The incoming bit stream is still run through Von Neumann, and put into an output buffer. However, all bits (whether they pass Von Neumann or not) are fed to a SHA256 stream. Occasionally (after the input stream is finished, or a sufficient number of bytes are put into the output buffer), the SHA256 hash is computed[1], and used as a 256-bit key for AES-256-CBC encrypting the output buffer. This way, only the bits which pass Von Neumann influence the output directly, but all bits help indirectly influence the output as well.
So twuewand now supports Kaminsky debiasing, and will use it by default if Digest::SHA and Crypt::Rijndael are installed.
Now, I want to clear up a mistake I made in my last post. I said that feeding twuewand output to /dev/urandom on Linux systems influences the primary pool, increasing entropy. First, you can actually write to either /dev/random or /dev/urandom, the effect is the same. But more importantly, entropy is NOT increased by writing to /dev/[u]random. It's merely "stirring the pot". If your system is out of entropy and you are blocking on /dev/random, no amount of writing to /dev/[u]random will unblock. (Directly, that is. If you're banging on your local keyboard to do this, you're slowly increasing entropy, but you could be doing the same thing in a text editor, or to /dev/null.)
Unfortunately, there is no way to increase entropy in the primary pool via standard system command line tools or character devices. However, there is a Linux ioctl, RNDADDENTROPY, which does this. So I wrote a small C wrapper, which takes STDIN and feeds it to the ioctl. This requires root of course. The utility is called, boringly enough, rndaddentropy, and is distributed with the twuewand tarball. It will be built by `make` on Linux systems.
I must point out that this utility gives you a very excellent method to shoot yourself in the foot. The lack of command line tools to directly access the primary buffer is most likely by design, since this bypasses most of the in-kernel filters for random input. Injecting, say, the contents of /bin/ls to the primary pool would be a great way to become one of those 1 in 200 statistics. Only use this utility to feed high quality entropy (such as by twuewand, or something like an entropy key).
Dan Kaminsky will be publishing software in the future called DakaRand, which does much of what twuewand currently does, but incorporates some of his other ideas. He provided me a work-in-progress copy, which looks very interesting, but it is not available to the public yet for a number of reasons. Be on the lookout for that when it is released.
Update (2012-08-15): Dan released DakaRand 1.0 a few hours after I made this post. Go check it out.
[1] In Dan's proposal, after the SHA256 hash is computed, it would then be run through Scrypt's hashing algorithm. This is not done in twuewand for two reasons. First, Crypt::Scrypt does not currently provide a low-level method to just do hashing; instead it wants to create a full digest which is unsuitable for this purpose. Second, Dan has been debating whether this step is necessary or desirable at all, and Scrypt has "undefined effects on embedded hardware".

[ This was written at 2AM, and I tended to ramble. Hopefully I'll come back tomorrow and clean it up, add links to RFCs and Wikipedia entries where relevant, etc. ]
I've been explaining this a number of times in the last few days, so I figured I'd get this down in blog form to avoid repeating myself (even more). IPv6 is much like IPv4 in most respects, but its autoconfiguration can seem rather alien to people already familiar with IPv4 (that is, DHCP).
On an IPv6 network, the default router runs a service called the Router Advertisement daemon. Its primary purpose is to send out packets saying "hey, I'm the default router for the 2001:db8:1234:abcd::/64 network".
It actually doesn't matter what the router's IPv6 address actually is on 2001:db8:1234:abcd::/64; indeed, it (usually) doesn't even tell your what it is. Instead, it sends out RAs using its "link-local" fe80:: address. Link-local addresses are specific to the LAN segment you're on, and every device is required to have one (derived from the MAC address). It's sort of a middleware layer of doing things, between Layer 2 and Layer 3. But the important thing is you can talk to other devices if you know their link-local fe80:: address (and you're both on the same segment), and you can route to them.
So it really doesn't matter if the router's address is 2001:db8:1234:abcd::1/64 or 2001:db8:1234:abcd::dead:beef/64 or if it doesn't even have an address; if you're doing autoconfiguration, your OS will most likely be routing to it based on its link-local address. For example, my home router's link-local address on the LAN side is fe80::6a05:caff:fe02:4e4d/64, which it uses to send RAs.
By default the router sends an RA every minute or so, so the client device could theoretically set up autoconfiguration without ever talking to the router. But it will also respond to Router Solicitation requests being broadcast to the network. These requests are responded to (via broadcast) with the exact same RA packet it would have sent on a timer, except this time it happened on-demand.
Now, the RA lets the client device know what the LAN's IPv6 network space is. It also sends a series of flags which can make autoconfiguration possible.
The most relevant is the Autonomous address-configuration ("A") flag. This flag provides stateless autoconfiguration, and essentially says "you are permitted to construct your own IP address in the network I mentioned". The client will then use the MAC address of the interface as a basis for constructing an IP address. In the above example, 2001:db8:1234:abcd::/64 was the network. Say my interface's MAC address is 00:19:d2:43:c0:c4. Using the recommended MAC-munging method, this becomes 2001:db8:1234:abcd:219:d2ff:fe43:c0c4/64.
The client then uses Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) to make sure nobody on the network is already using this address. (DAD is also used to make sure the link-local address mentioned above is also unique to the network segment.)
So that's it! The client now has enough information to construct IP information, and in theory it never even had to send a packet. (I say "in theory" because DAD requires sending out a multicast packet. Plus, most OSes send out a Router Solicitation to trigger the Router Advertisement.) In this example, the router, fe80::6a05:caff:fe02:4e4d, sent out an RA stating the network is 2001:db8:1234:abcd::/64, and the "A" flag was set. The client used this information to construct the IP 2001:db8:1234:abcd:219:d2ff:fe43:c0c4/64, which it gave to itself, with the default route being fe80::6a05:caff:fe02:4e4d.
Now what about DNS? In a dual-stack environment, the client probably already has an IPv4 DNS address by now, and can certainly use that to look up IPv6 (AAAA) records. But for pure IPv6, there are two methods for getting DNS servers to the client.
First up is RDNSS, a relatively recent extension to the RA standard. It's simply an extension which gives one or more DNS servers in the RA packet. Simple, but not often used today.
The RA also has a "Managed address configuration" ("M") flag. This simply means, "there is a DHCPv6 server on this network. You may go look for it for more granular control." Also known as stateful autoconfiguration.
DHCPv6 is similar to DHCPv4, but has a number of differences. I'm not going to go into it in detail, but you can do pretty much everything you can do with DHCPv4: pooled address allocations, individual address allocation, DNS servers, domain search lists, etc. It's worth noting that if you have both the "A" and "M" flags in the RA set (and you're running a DHCPv6 server), the client will use both of these methods. That is to say, it'll construct an IP address using stateless means, then request an IP address from the DHCPv6 server, and will bind both of these addresses to the interface.
Side note: IPv6 has no concept of network or broadcast addresses. In this post's example, 2001:db8:1234:abcd::/64 was the network, but 2001:db8:1234:abcd:: can also be a device. However, most networks I've seen continue the old tradition of giving the .1 (or in IPv6's case, :1) address to the default router.

I solved my problem from a few months ago with my iPhone and iPad not being able to get IPv6 info. It was actually a combination of two problems.
Last year I bought a Netgear N750DB router as an access point to replace my Linksys WRT54GL. Turns out the N750DB will send multicast traffic from a wireless device back to itself. This breaks IPv6 Duplicate Address Detection (DAD), and I was also seeing problems on my Ubuntu laptop. So I went back to the WRT54GL, and while stateless autconfiguration started working on the laptop again, it was still not working on the iPhone and iPad.
The second part was the iOS devices needed to be rebooted. No idea why, but after a hard reboot, they started pulling RA (and DHCPv6, which I had configured in the meantime). I've since bought a Linksys E4200 v1 to replace the N750DB, and everything is now working great.
Note that it's actually hard to tell when iOS has an IPv6 address. There are literally no IPv6 options in iOS, and the IPv6 address itself is not displayed anywhere. The only hint is in the network config page. If you have a DHCPv6 server or giving out RDNSS via RAs, the IPv6 nameserver and/or domain will show up in "DNS" and "Search Domains", though will likely be cut off. The only OS-level way to get meaningful IPv6 address/route information is a utility app called IPv6 Toolkit ($2 but worth it in this case). You can also go to a web site like vsix.us (which of course I wrote) to see what your IP address is.
Note that even after fixing my AP and rebooting my devices, when I went to vsix.us in Safari, it was still preferring v4 over v6. I was able to solve that by clearing all cached info in Safari.

This weekend, I upgraded the OS on my main colo box, from 32-bit Debian lenny to 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 precise LTS. This was an installation which I've had for over 8 years. It was originally installed in early 2004, when Debian sarge was in its long beta freeze. It had been dist-upgraded over the years, from sarge to etch to lenny, and was quite well maintained. And over the years, the hardware has been upgraded, from a Pentium 4 with 512MB memory and 80GB usable disk, to a Pentium D with 2GB memory and 160GB disk, to a Core i7 with 9GB memory[1] and 320GB disk.
However, it was still an 8-year-old installation, and I wanted to get to a 64-bit OS. Debian lenny's support was dropped in February, and Ubuntu precise seemed like a good target, so I made the decision late last year to replace the OS.
I bought two 1.5TB WD Black SATA drives and installed precise on them a few weeks ago, in a RAID1 set. My colo box in San Jose has a 3ware 9650SE 2-port SATA 2 card, and I had an identical card available at home. Thankfully 3ware cards store RAID configuration on the disks themselves, so it was just a matter of installing the OS on the surrogate server at home and shipping the disks to San Jose to be physically installed. I also bumped the memory up to its maximum of 24GB, as long as the case was open (memory is insanely cheap right now).
The precise install was a minimal install, with just networking and SSH configured. I then took a backup of the lenny install and put it in /srv/oldos. The idea was once the datacenter swapped out the disks and powered it on, I'd go in and, for example, "chroot /srv/oldos /etc/init.d/apache2 start" for all the essential services. I could then migrate the services into the new install one at a time.
With a few small bumps[2], that strategy worked well. However, a LOT of stuff is on this box, and it took me a most of the weekend to get everything right. Here's a sample of what this server is responsible for:
As of Monday, everything is now running off the new precise install. I installed this server over LVM, and have only allocated about 500GB of the 1.5TB usable space. There is a relatively small 120GB root partition, a 160GB /home partition, and a 250GB /srv partition. The idea is not much more than the OS should be on root (and should never need more than 120GB), /home is self explanatory, and all projects (web sites, etc) go in /srv. If /home or /srv need to be expanded, it can be done remotely relatively easily by umounting them, expanding the partitions using LVM, and running resize2fs. I've also left most of the space unallocated in case I want to run KVM guests some day, though I don't have an immediate need.
[3] Okay, three, technically. I've packaged the tw_cli utility for the 3ware RAID card, but cannot distribute the package through my PPA because it's a non-free binary.

2ping 2.0 has been released today. User-visible changes are minor, but behind the scenes, a major update to the protocol specification has been implemented, justifying the major version bump:
2ping is a bi-directional ping utility. It uses 3-way pings (akin to TCP SYN, SYN/ACK, ACK) and after-the-fact state comparison between a 2ping listener and a 2ping client to determine which direction packet loss occurs.

Kmart, which has operated a store in the DVC for 40 years, is closing in the near future, city officials confirmed Thursday.
"Kmart is closing," said Economic Development Manager Kelly Calhoun. "We don't know what the exact date is. We havent' been part of the discussions with their employees."
According to a story in the Contra Costa Times, the store is set to be closed in mid-January. The Safeway store that was located in the center relocated in February to the site of the former Mervyn's store next to Sun Valley Mall.

Stolen Seas (2012)
The most popular movies among NYTimes.com readers.
2 Readers' Reviews
January 22nd, 201310:35 am
Wonderful simulations of real events, and a stolen gaze into the forbidden life of pirates in Somalia...the drama goes into high seas carving full circles in asymetrical fashion, in a film that will thrill yu and remind yu that high jinks like these are serious crimes, and r! These fishermen who take their kidnappings in stride will soondisappear into a mad childhood dispersing into the dust they raise and back into the cattle pastures they were born into. As Somalia the film maker tells us was originally a land for grazing camels, not jumping trouts. To watch the director in his Q&A tonight at the cinema was an event which will be repeated tomorrow. Don't miss it! It's a story of how films are first imagined, then scripted, and ultimately produced with soul and guts. Right on, kickstarter:)

BORDEN, Ind. (WDRB) -- A thick cloud of smoke that could be seen miles away resulted from a large garbage fire at the Clark-Floyd Landfill Sunday. It is often said that where there is smoke there is fire. Equally as true, where there is garbage on fire, there is smoke and stench.
"It is a little smelly out here, yes it is," said Major Karen Tweedy with the Sellersburg, Ind. Fire Department.
The fire, which broke out around 3:20 p.m., was fueled by burning garbage and tires. Four area fire departments responded and used more than 12,000 gallons of water to extinguish the fire, said Tweedy.
Tweedy was one of a dozen or more firefighters whose afternoon was interrupted by a massive cloud of smoke after word spread that the Clark-Floyd Landfill had caught fire. As of late Sunday night, there was still no word on a cause for the fire. No one was hurt.
"No, I had my granddaughters at home, I was doing yard work. This is not how I envisioned my Sunday," Tweedy said.
A constant chorus of generators hummed from tanker trucks that were forced to haul in thousands of gallons of water.
"It's garbage. There's no water supply back here. So we are having to get water from the main road out on Highway 60," Tweedy said.
Backhoes and dozers were used to move dirt over the smoldering remains while firefighters sprayed more water on the fire.
"When tires burn, they melt, and reintroduce oil from which they are made, back into the soil," said Alan Martin with the Clark County Health Department.
Martin said he found no air quality danger for surrounding neighborhoods, but was there to make sure the fire was put out.
"We try to watch out for the firemen and we all watch out for each other for respiratory exposure. You get your eyes, your ears, your mouth exposure... so that's a risk," Martin said.
Tweedy said with "garbage fires, there's just nothing you can do with them. All you can do is throw water and sit back and wait."
