A.Contributing editor Paul
Fisette responds: How deeply the chemicals
penetrate the wood during treatment is indeed
important. Penetration levels vary widely.
Heartwood is more difficult than sapwood to treat.
The heartwood of Douglas fir and southern pine
(both commonly used for pressure treatment) resists
penetration and may allow only 1/4 inch of chemical
penetration. So if the lumber you purchased was
heartwood, it is not surprising that you would see
shallow penetration. The good news is that the
heartwood is typically more rot resistant than the
sapwood. The heartwood of both Douglas fir and
southern pine is considered moderately decay
resistant, but virtually all treated southern pine
is second-growth, easy-to-treat sapwood.
The amount of chemical retained by the wood is
important. The 0.40 designation of the wood you
bought means that the amount of chemical retained
by the wood after treatment (its retention level)
is roughly equal to 0.40 pounds of chemical per
cubic foot of wood. That is the correct amount for
"ground contact." The
"needle marks" that you see are a
result of incising, a process in which lumber is
passed through a series of rollers equipped with
teeth that sink about 1/2 inch into the wood. The
incisions expose the more absorbent end grain of
the wood throughout its length, allowing better
penetration and chemical retention. Typically,
incising is used for more difficult-to-treat
species like Douglas fir (which can have more
heartwood) and not southern pine.
So is your wood okay? Probably. There's
a good chance it's heartwood, and even the
shallow penetration of heartwood afforded by
incising has some value. Rot fungi usually begin to
grow not in the middle of the wood but on the
surface. Where there are cracks or checks in the
wood, incising helps reduce the likelihood that
fungi can get into those pathways and rot the wood
from within.

'Appendix: A list of the aldermen, late 13th century', Calendar of wills proved and enrolled in the Court of Husting, London: Part 1: 1258-1358 (1889), pp. 702-704. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=66895 Date accessed: 02 October 2014.
(Min 3 characters)
The following is a copy of the earliest list of Aldermen of the City of London preserved among the records of the Corporation (Letter-Book A, fol. 116), together with the names of the wards they respectively represented. It is not dated, but there is good reason for conjecturing it to have been written circa14 Edward I. [A.D. 1285-6].
Nomina propria Wardarum Civitatis Londoniarum et nomina Aldermannorum.
On Tuesday next before the Feast of S. Botolph [17 June], anno 21 Edward I. [A.D. 1293], the chief men of every ward, in the presence of Sir John le Bretun, Warden of London, elected for themselves an Alderman, whom they presented to the said Warden, saying that whatsoever the Alderman so elected should, in conjunction with the Warden, determine upon for the government of the City and the keeping of the king's peace, they would ratify and accept without challenge.
The following are the names of the Aldermen presented to the Warden by each ward on that occasion, being the next earliest list to the foregoing preserved among the Corporation Kecords (Letter-Book C, fol. vi):—
Warda Fori [
Warda Ludgate et Neugate presentat Nicholaum de Farndon.
Warda de Aldridesgate presentat Willelmum le Mazeliner.
Warda de Crepelgate presentat Walterum de Finchingfed.
Warda Castri presentat Ricardum Aswy.
Warda Ripe Regine presentat Willelmum de Bettoyne.
Warda de Bredstrate presentat Johannem le Blound.
Warda de Cordewanerstrate presentat Henricum le Galeys.
Warda de Douuegate presentat Johannem de Banquell.
Warda de Walebrock presentat Johannem de Dunstaple.
Warda de Candlewystrate presentat Robertum de Basinge.
Warda de Langebura presentat Adam de Rokesle.
Warda de Bassieshawe presentat Radulphum le Blound.
Warda de Cornhulle modo vocatur Bradestrate} presentat Martinum Box.
Warda de Lotheberi presentat Thomam de Stanes.
Warda de Bissoppesgate presentat Henricum le Bole.
Warda Turris presentat Johannem de Cantuaria.
Warda de Limstrate presentat Robertum de Rokele.
Warda de Alegate presentat Willelmum de Hereford.
Warda Porsokne presentat Priorem Sancte Trinitatis [+] (sic).
Warda Vinetrie presentat Johannem de Gisors.
Warda de Billingesgate presentat [ ].
Warda Pontis London' presentat Adam de Foleham.
Warda de Colemannestrate presentat Eliam Russel.
The only other list of Aldermen recorded (fn. 5) within the period embraced by Part I. of this Calendar appears in a general ward assessment for the purpose of raising a talliage levied for the King, anno 13 Edward II. [A.D. 1319-20], which gave rise to some complaints by the citizens of London:—

As a lot of people have noticed, you don't really notice a lot of bugs until you actually try and ship something. One of the more frustrating ones is that my AMI image (for Amazon EC2) I had constructed didn't want to boot, which is somewhat inconvenient to say the least. I hadn't noticed the problem, since all of the earlier versions were run on my one dedicated server [with a limited data set]. Fortunately, after a few days of butting my head against the wall I managed to get a working AMI image, so now its just down to getting it to run through my data in time [which is a bit questionable], in part because I did my bench marking on my laptop and assumed that the EC2 images would be faster; but my laptop would appear to be about 4 times faster.
While I was doing some random poking around online, waiting for a batch job to run, I found snap.com which has a really cool preview feature. So I randomly added it to AllTheCode, but then I thought back to how I originally discovered it [which was on some website with it and then I went to go find out more about, completely forgetting the originally sight], which seems like a bad thing for visitors to do, so I'm not so sure if I should leave it in the soon to be released version.
Working on code alone all the time can get a little bit boring, so I had a coding party where a few people (~4) all hung out in the same room, drank caffeinated beverages and hacked away on our own projects. If I have enough time in the new year, along with all of the other stuff going on, it is something I'd like to do more often.

Scaling & Pretty Printing
I've been spending a fair bit of time trying to get AllTheCode able to scale to handle more than just a few users, and I'm finding bottlenecks in the usual places, plus a few interesting ones.
Pretty printing is one of those things which has been around for a long time and most people just kind of ignore. However, for all the code, I have to show people the results, and rather than just provide them with a download link [as I first wanted to do], most of my competitors seem to have decided to provided a pretty printed HTML version of the code. I can totally understand why, for one thing it is more convenient since if you just want to look at some of the results quickly you don't want to download all of them. As luck would have it, vim can dump its wonderful pretty printing to HTML and Ruby on Rails has a built in method to highlight the relevant terms in the output [yay!]. The only problem is, that vim2html is a surprisingly cpu intensive. Since there will probably not be too many users, I'm going to keep it for now and perhaps replace it with Kate eventually, but I still find it humorous that my next projected bottleneck is pretty printing :)
The more traditional bottlenecks of the DB [despite some early locking issues], seems to have been mostly solved. Things are easy for me since there are plenty of places for me to cheat [like handling updates, pshaw. Updates are for people aren't me :)]. Despite all of the "ruby on rails" is hard to deploy, so far its only marginally more difficult than deploying a traditional php script. I'll admit, a single server deployment has a lot of unnecessary hassle, but when doing a multi-server deployment, the things that people complain about you have to deal with regardless of ruby on rails, or django, or perl or really anything.

Last Day
Friday was my last day @ Xandros (conveniently also the day of the company Christmas party). Looking back on the past four months, its been more fun than my previous Co-Op jobs. I've had a chance to play around with the wonderful world of device drivers, file systems, and boot loaders for increased stylishness. Part of the reason why I think it was so fun, is that I was learning a lot of it as I went along, whereas I was pretty well qualified for most of my previous jobs.
The plan for the next week is to split my time 50/50 between All The Code and another project that I'm working on. I've fixed the concurrency bug with All The Code, but I've also noticed a few not so good thing, and a pretty awesome thing. The not so good thing is that about ~10% of the records in the DB weren't java programs (which I've fixed). The awesome thing is that I've figured out a way to get ~10 languages supported really quickly, so I'm going to try and get that done over the next few days.

Slight Change of Plans
Software, rarely, if ever ships on time and it looks like All The Code will be no exception to this. Well, sort of. The software is sort of done, in the sense that it works, just not well enough. The main problem is one of scaling, that is in my less than scientific tests at anything more than ~10 users it chokes. On the upside, I know why this is and how to fix it, but its going to take a bit more time than I have. Instead of having a public alpha on December 11nth, I will have a by request pre-Alpha on December 11nth and the public Alpha on Jan 2nd. The delay gives me a good solid week of time I can dedicate to fixing the two bottle necks that are slowing it down the most.
If, for some crazy reason, you want to play around with all the code, e-mail me ( firstname.lastname@example.com ) along with the subject line "All The Code pre-Alpha" and I will either send you back an e-mail with a username & password or I'll let you know if there isn't enough room.

Today has been one of those "D'Oh" sort of days for me. I've done such classy things as had programs try and talk to DBs which only exist in my brain. I've "fixed" the same problem ~5 times [each time takes ~30 minutes to run through the batch job and get to the same error], etc. The problem turned out to be that my c wrapper was calling /us/home/holden/ninja/crazy rather than /us/home/holden/sadninja/crazy . Also, shortly after fixing the problem the AWSP framework drove off the metaphorical cliff and stopped allowing queries. D'oh :( Hopefully its fixed for tomorrow?
I was hoping to have everything done for tomorrow afternoon, but Sunday afternoon looks like it may be a more reasonable target now.
There isn't all that much more code that needs to be written, its just getting down to an issue of where I can split up the work so I can use EC2 and fixing the bugs that inevitably appear when I do this :)
On the upside, while I was looking for EC2 related information I found out that I could use S3 to host static pages, which is kind of useful (since my dedicated box's pipe is already pretty well loaded doing other things and I don't want to get another one). I'll probably use them to host the static pages for all the code. ninja style!

That is how much money I've spent [in machine time] trying to figure out why my new and improved parser dies horrible on awsp. I thought maybe there was a problem with the framework I was using, perhaps I wasn't flushing the output to the file properly in my ocaml app, any number of possibilities. Turns out I was having 7 machines all write to the same file [where I thought they were all writing to different files in there local cache]. The reason why it never showed up in my ,albeit limited, testing is I only have on machine, and only on the platform does it run on multiple nodes at the same time. I hope I don't have too many more gotchas like this hanging around since Monday is fast approaching :)

What is All the Code?
Recently, I've found my self trying to explain to a few different people what exactly all the code is. . I used to be able to say something along the lines of "its google for code", but then the pesky people at google released Google Codesearch, which inconveniently (or conveniently depending on how you look at it), is quite different from what All The Code is.
The interface for all the code is much more like cpan than google code search in terms of interface. Google codesearch has a very powerful regular expression engine, which (in my obviously biased) opinion is not all that great for finding code. Sure, if you want to find places where people do silly things resulting in possible buffer overflow, its a gold mine, but not so much for finding code that you might want to use.
With All The Code, the idea is you enter in what you are looking for (say csv library), and it does its best to return things that are a good match for csv library. You don't have to sit around and think about the relative importance of class versus ID name versus comment, we have dozens of trained monkeys doing that for you*. Another classy thing that we do, is we consider classy things like which contexts the code is used in, rather than just looking in the library. Generalized the idea is that more popular libraries in certain contexts might be related to those contexts and might be better than the library that no one uses.
Another interesting question is, will it work any better? The answer is a resounding "maybe". At the start, google and others will have an upper hand on us just based on how much code they index, but I'm hoping to close that gap by the end of 2007. For now, I'm interested in getting it out there and trying to get some people to use it so I can try and figure out what areas need the most work. Hopefully the "alpha" label will keep people from juding it too harshly, but I can always launch the next generation version under a different name if I turn out to be wrong :)
*Trained monkeys may or may not exist and may or may not be software

One thing which I find universal among people trying to make something is optimism, or at the very least localized optimism.
For me, this means thinking that I can do tasks in 30 minutes when they really take an evening, the database will build on the first try, and all sorts of wonderful things like that. While this can be really useful at times (namely when starting or keeping on going), it can also make things un-necessarily difficult, by setting release dates too early and other fun things like that.
It still looks like I'll be able to hit December 11nth, just 30 minutes to fix this one last bug, rebuild the DB, another half hour to put together a new front end, and few other "minor" things ..... :)

Physicists Want To Know If We're All Actually Living in a Hologram

Perhaps it has something to do with the Kardashians (doesn't everything?), but we've become a nation of clothing/style/beauty-obsessed maniacs, who shop -- online and in real life -- 'til we pretty much drop. Here in New York City -- what some perceive to be the fashion capital of the world -- it seems like everywhere I go, every corner I turn, some girl or guy is holding a shopping bag while killing it in some fancy new duds. And forget about trying to pop in to H&M after work, the store is always slammed. Seems like there's not a single moment when people aren't shopping here.
So, it's shocking that my fair, image-conscious city did not make the "Top 10 Shopaholic Cities in the U.S." list. But what's even more shocking is the city that's number one!
After collecting data from the 100 most populous cities and tracking spending for a full year, Bundle recently discovered that Washington, D.C. is not just our nation's capital, but our nation's shopping capital. According to the survey, the average American spends $142.08 a month on clothes, shoes, etc., while the average D.C. resident spends $263 a month. Who knew?
Here's the rest of the list:
2. Arlington, Va.: $254.58
3. Nashville, Tenn.: $251.17
4. Scottsdale, Ariz.: $243.17
5. Dallas, Texas: $228.58
6. San Francisco, Calif.: $227.42
7. San Jose, Calif.: $221.17
8. Seattle, Wash.: $221.17
9. Austin, Texas: $213
10. Bakersfield, Calif.: $201.50
The thing that stands out about all of these cities is, well, they've all got some cash. While I was initially surprised that neither New York nor Los Angeles made the list, I soon realized that these numbers are averages -- and both NYC and LA have plenty of low-income households to balance out the higher-earning ones. That said, though, I'm glad neither city earned a spot, 'cause it's about time some other cities got wraps for being self-absorbed and style-obsessed.
I've lived in both places, and I can firmly attest to the fact that: They are style/image/everything superficial-obsessed. But, when I think about it, so is everywhere else I go. I think New York and Los Angeles just take the most heat because A) they have the most outrageous characters living there, and B) they have the most outrageous style. Not to pigeon-hole any cities here, but chances are you're not going to see the same kind of clothes in New York that you will in Scottsdale, Arizona. It's a different kind of shopping culture.
That said, I'm not sure if it's really comforting to know that pretty much all of the United States is filled with shopaholics. Particularly D.C. I mean, isn't that the city that's supposed to be getting us out of the deficit? Dang.
Did your city make the list? Are you surprised at the list?

"Perhaps it has something to do with the Kardashians (doesn't everything?), but we've become a nation of clothing/style/beauty-obsessed maniacs, who shop -- online and in real life -- 'til we pretty much drop"
yep pretty sure it has a lot to do with the media.
Im surprised by the list in the fact that the average PER MONTH is so much. I guess that takes into account all the people who spend less than $50 per month (or per 6 months) on clothing for a family of 5 and balances it out with people who think a sweater priced at $150 is reasonable.
I live in metro DC. The amount of money around here is disgusting. Consider this: There are FIVE Louis Vuittons in the metro DC area (that I know of) and some of those are nearly next door to one another. Some cities have only one if any at all. We have to hold off on having kids now because we can't afford the day care around here. What we paid for our condo I could have bought a mansion in my native metro ATL...where I'm trying to convince my hubby to move to...my shopping habit doesn't help either so I guess I prove your statistics to be correct :)
yea, i don't spend that
No, my city isn't on the list. I don't think I'm surprised, I don't know about all of the cities, but I'd think the cities with more affluent populations would spend more.
My city is not on the list.

Will same sex marriage damage the family?
Proponents of same sex marriage suggest it is an issue of equality - human rights - an end to discrimination.
Opponents object firstly on religious grounds, that it is unnatural. That it breaks tradition. Racism, sexism are often supported by religious views and tradition. Weak arguments in this case as well.
The argument that perhaps resonates most is that same sex marriage will damage the family unit, damage, children, damage society.
I propose gay marriage has no significant impact on heterosexual families. So this argument also fails.
Agree or disagree?
Closing Statement from Obey No1kinobe
Thanks All. I guess society hasn't collapsed with the introduction of civil unions or gay marriage in some states and countries. In fact there wasn't too much debate about the consequences.
Most objections related to changing the traditional definition of marriage. My understanding is some of these related to marriage having a spiritual or religious dimension. Some just think homosexuality is a defect, unnatural or worse. I expect these views are not limited to religious people.
I agree it is a change to the definition. Those for and against need a stronger argument than their personal or religious views. I respect that marriage is an important institution and should not be changed lightly. However, I still find the argument in terms of civil rights and ending discrimination based on sexual orientation compelling. Considering the arguments against I note none really presented a rationale that this change would be harmful in some tangible way.
I think we have a right to be free from the religious views of others and pursue happiness that does not harm others. I think we should end unjustified discrimination.
There was sense in some of the comments that SSM is going against some natural laws, will impact families or even threaten the continuation of the human race. I suggest that what same sex couple does not and will not impact heterosexual couples, and the the human race is in no danger of dropping population growth.
My own opinion is that some just oppose the normalisation and acceptance of homosexuality. Some religious folk expressed a respect for everyone regardless of sexual orientation. This gives me some hope.
This may not be the most important issue in the world right now, unless it directly affects you personally or a loved one. It just seems something relatively easy that will improve the situation for many ordinary people who love someone but are denied the right to marry.
Thanks all.

Home Rule
- Location: Washington, DC and online
- Website: homerule.com
(Here's Post #2 from Janie, one of the finalists vying for a blogging position at the upcoming AT:The Nursery. Comment away.)
Home Rule is not the first place to come to mind when thinking of a destination for your baby's needs.
The tiny housewares shop is located on the now hip 14th Street strip it shares with other independently owned boutiques in Northwest DC. Home Rule is a long time local favorite of ours and other design-inclined Washingtonians looking for a well-edited selection of home accessories.
We shopped here frequently when furnishing our previous loft – everything from an emergency shower curtain (don't forget the rings) to a colander. But it wasn't until we had our little one recently that I noticed its focused, albeit small, selection of baby products.
Home Rule also carries a few SKUs that can be appropriated for use as baby ware.
Our favorite find thus far has been the deliciously graphic and perfectly pint-sized washcloths by Cram Cream.
A whole slew of yummy designs is available so I stop in often to make sure baby has all of them in his collection, including larger bath towels and hand towels.
Home Rule also stocks Cram Cream melamine trays and cups – both good as baby tableware or for organizing his lotions and potions.
You also can find an assortment of other mealtime and bath time accoutrements including French Bull melamine dinnerware and Dinnersaurs utensils by Fred, all of which is good to look at but not too precious to use.
The smallish store is well organized, making good use of height in order to compensate for its limited width (those with strollers need to pay attention). It shops like a hip Bed Bath and Beyond distilled down to its essential design core.
We hope Home Rule will expand its kid offerings in the future. Definitely not your one-stop shop for all things baby, but a good source for baby ware nonetheless.

I live in dc and am so glad to see a dc store recognized here! A lot of my kitchen items come from Home Rules and the surrounding stores are just as cool if not cooler! Definitely check it out if you're in dc!
Home Rule is one of my favorite places!
And, great post! Nice writing style and detail.
Home Rule is a great store!!
Any one in the DC area not familiar with the store it is worth the trip as there are several great shops on that block worth checking out.
I'm a fan!!!
Ooh, I'm excited to see you mention a DC store! I echo what Alex says--Home Rule itself is great, and there are several other great stores on the same block of 14th Street--Pop and Go Mama Go! are especially great.
DC shout out! When we gettin' our own therapy???
I second that, Lisa!
nice work.
nice store, too - great everydayd design objects.
Go Mama Go (next door) is also a Christmas shopping favorite of mine.
Love Home Rule! They always have clever items. I second (or third?) Go Mama Go, that store rocks.
Another fan...there's another good similar shop on 8th St SE (Barracks Row) called Homebody. It has more furnishings, though, and a smaller selection of kitchen products.
So neat to see a store I shop at on AT! Home Rule is a great little place.

She's the
ex-teacher dubbed too pretty for prison.
Debra Lafave faced
15 years for molesting a 14-year-old student.
She walked away
with three years house arrest and seven years probation in 2005. As part of the
plea deal, she agreed to serve the entire 10-year sentence with no early outs.
She became a free
woman last year. The judge in the case allowed her to end probation four years
Prosecutors say she
not only got the better end of the plea deal, but that she then didn't live up
to her end of the bargain.
On Wednesday, the
Second District Court of Appeals agreed.
"This opinion
is more important than just this case because this opinion goes to the criminal
justice system as a whole, and the effect plea negotiations have and whether
they should be respected and honored by the court," said Mike Sinacore of the
state attorney's office.
In its opinion, the
appellate court called the judge's decision to end probation early "an
abuse of judicial power" and "a gross miscarriage of justice."
They quashed the
lower court's decision, re-instating Lafave's probation, meaning she picks up
where she left off with four more years left to serve.
"Those are
very fundamental points not just for this case but for how we do business from
this day forward." Sinacore said.
Lafave has 15 days
to ask the court to reconsider.
Her attorney, John
Fitzgibbons, released a statement saying: "This case is not over. The
Court of Appeals in this major decision reinstated Debbie's probation but then
took the extraordinary step of certifying the legal issue to be of great public
importance, which gives the Florida Supreme Court the ability, if it wants, to
hear Debbie's case. I will be meeting with Debbie and her family in the next
few days to determine how we will be proceeding."
In the meantime,
prosecutors say the court's decision reaffirms the state's ability to negotiate
no early termination of probation and the court's obligation to honor such
agreements in the future.
brings clarity to the issue. If you make an agreement, a deal is a deal. The
court will enforce that deal. It's required to enforce that deal," Sinacore

Ah, Berkeleyist.
"So it'll be a mellow night. 7 to 10ish, just hanging out because I'm exhausted. Cool?"
Her words rang in my ears as the staff at Johnny Foley's turned on the overhead lights at 2am. I looked over to find Miss 10pm with a 59 year old Irish guy hanging all over her, screaming over the music about her beautiful eyes and telling her what to do with her life.
We were at Foley's to see Nicole McRory, an extraordinary performer whom Lo had mentioned ages ago and I'd been fortunate enough to run into on several occasions.
How to describe Nicole?
Well, as I mentioned to the 59 year old Irish guy, "Nicole used to be a Nicolas."
But that's beside the point. Or at least the 2 points I want to make. The first is that Nicole's repitoire is exceptional. She takes requests and prefers them to be from her massive book of songs. I've requested "Pink Houses", "White Wedding" and pretty much every Johnny Cash song I know. Even better, she performs her cover songs in the voice of the original singer. And really, you haven't lived till you've seen Nikki switch her guitar strap from the embroidered "Nikki" side to the "Pussy" side, curl her lips and belt "Walk the Line." Nikki personifies the, "Dance like nobodys watching" because she sings it like you sing it in your car, only better and with an electric guitar.
The second point I want to make is that I think Nikki is currently in love with me. Lo and her beautiful eyes may have snagged the 59 year old Irish guy, but Nikki was performing to a packed house and working ME into songs.
"Oh my god! Did you hear that?!?!"
"YES! Nikki loves me!"
The 59 year old Irish guy leaned over, "Hold on, love. Yer tellin' me that's a bloke?"
No, sweetheart. That's MY bloke...

A while back, I ran a piece from Jim Arnold, superintendent of Pelham City Schools in Mitchell County. Several of you commented that you wished you worked for such a straight-talking school chief.
I think that sentiment is going to be even stronger after this piece, which I plan to run on the Monday education page that I assemble for the AJC. But I can't fit all of it in the newspaper, so here is the full version.
By Jim Arnold
We've done it now. Eleven years we had to educate the public, to register our protests and do everything in our power to warn people what was coming, and we blew it. We knew the moment would eventually come and we hem-hawed, looked at the ground, kicked at the dirt with our shoes and failed to look the opposition in the eye and face them down. All of us saw this coming, but very few took a stand and now we – and our students – are paying the price. We could have been prophets but failed the test.
We allowed the

Marc-Andre Bourdon is a young defenseman propsect in the Philadelphia Flyers
system who comes to the team from St. Hyacinthe,
Quebec. His style of much more crash than flash
makes him one of the team's most reliable
While some of his teammates receive more accolades
as a result of scoring goals or making saves, Bourdon
is often the guy making the solid play in the background,
which prevents an opposing forward from cashing
in on a rebound and allows his teammates to go on
a 2-on-1 in the other direction.
For example, the headlines in the Phantoms'
2-1 win at the Springfield Falcons on November 4
were that Garrett Klotz and Jon Kalinski scored
goals, and that Michael Leighton was the winning
goalie with 20 saves on 21 shots. However, it was
a blocked shot by Bourdon, which goes totally unnoticed
in the box score, that foiled a Springfield rush
and allowed Garrett Klotz to lead a rush and score
the game's first goal.
No flash, but a lot of crash for Bourdon, who played
an unheralded, yet huge role in the team's
win over the Falcons.
Bourdon has been performing his duties and always
getting better at them for three seasons with the
Phantoms. During that time, the 22-year-old has
appeared in 116 games, which are second all-time
among Adirondack Phantoms defensemen behind only
his friend and roommate, Kevin Marshall.
He went from being the very youngest player in
the first season of the Adironack Phantoms in 2009-10
at only 20-years-old to being one who is the most
tenured in Glens Falls.
He originally came to the Phantoms with some impressive
accolades. Bourdon won the QMJHL's Defensive
Player of the Year award, and advanced to the Memorial
Cup Finals with Rimouski Oceanic. And he was twice
named to the QMJHL First All-Star Team. The Flyers
had grabbed him up in the third round of 2008 with
the 67th overall pick and called him up to their
AHL team after three seasons in the "Q."
After losing some time last season due to injury,
Bourdon got the opportunity to get in some extra
games down south in the ECHL with Greenville, S.C.
during their playoff run. That extra work has also
paid off for Bourdon who enters his third season
in the professional ranks ready to help guide the
team's run to the post-season.
Q: Who is your role model(s)?
Bourdon: My mother.
Q: Do you have any hidden talents?
Bourdon: I do a pretty good beat box.
Click here to here
Marc-Andre Bourdon's beat-boxing skills!
Q: Who would play you in a movie?
Bourdon: That guy from Knocked Up and Pineapple
Express. What was his name? Seth Rogen!
Q: What TV show do you never miss?
Bourdon: Family Guy.
Q: Kevin Marshall is your roommate. What makes him
a good person to live with?
Bourdon: He smells good.

teammate Tom Sestito in a fight at the GFCC, when

Living With Osteoporosis
5 Lifestyle Steps for Better Bone Health
Bone Health Step 1: Calcium and Vitamin D continued...
Check the supplement's label before buying. Look for either "pharmaceutical grade" or "USP (United States Pharmacopeia) standards. This will ensure high-quality pills that will dissolve in your system. "Even generic brands are fine if they have that information," Diemer advises.
Don't forget vitamin D. Most calcium pills -- and most multivitamins -- contain vitamin D. However, you can get vitamin D in food (fortified dairy products, egg yolks, saltwater fish like tuna, and liver). Research suggests that vitamin D3 supplements may be a little bit better absorbed and retained than Vitamin D2.
If you're taking osteoporosis medications, take calcium, too. "A lot of patients think if they start treatment they don't need calcium," she adds. "That's not true, and physicians often don't emphasize the point."
Take prescription calcium if necessary. In some cases, doctors prescribe higher-strength calcium and vitamin D tablets.
Bone Health Step 2: Weight-Bearing Exercise
Calcium supplements and osteoporosis medications can stop bone loss -- which allows the bone to rebuild itself, Diemer explains. "But the body needs 'encouragement' to rebuild bone," she adds. "The skeleton needs to be under stress so it will get stronger." That's why exercise is important for better bone health.
Be sure to talk with your doctor before you begin any exercise regimen. Here are some types of exercises your doctor may suggest.
Make walking a daily ritual. Walking, jogging, and light aerobics make your bones and muscles work against gravity -- which puts stress on the skeleton, which strengthens bones. Bicycling is also good for bones; it offers some resistance, which improves muscle mass and strengthens bones.
Swimming, however, is not a good bone-booster, says Diemer. "Swimming is great for joints if you have arthritis, but it's not doing anything for osteoporosis. With swimming, the skeleton is comfortable so it is not working to hold itself up."
She advises 30 minutes of weight-bearing exercise five days a week if you can. "I'm satisfied if they get 30 minutes, three times a week."
Core strengthening is critical, too. Abdominal exercises, lower back exercises, yoga, Pilates, and tai chi help strengthen the spine. "All that stuff is great, because the most common fractures are in the spine," Diemer tells WebMD. "Strengthening muscles to the spine gives more support to the spine. The other thing about yoga, Pilates, and tai chi -- they improve balance, which prevents falls."
Tell your instructor that you have osteoporosis. If you're taking yoga or Pilates, make sure you have a certified instructor. You need close supervision to make sure you don't harm yourself.
Bone Health Step 3: Don't Smoke & Moderate Alcohol
"Nicotine is toxic to bone," Diemer tells WebMD. "The first thing I tell patients who smoke is, if you don't stop smoking there's very little we can do for your bones. You counteract all medications."
Alcohol in moderation is fine, but just one or two drinks a week, she advises. "Alcohol in excess causes about 2% bone loss in a year's time. Nicotine also causes 2% bone loss. If you're having alcohol and nicotine both in excess, the combined bone loss is actually doubled -- 8% bone loss."
Osteoporosis Glossary
- Bone Mineral Density - A measurement of the amount of calcium and minerals in bone tissue.
- Calcium - A mineral in (and vital to) your bones. If your body lacks calcium, it takes it from bones.
- DEXA (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry) - a test used to measure bone mineral density.
- Osteoporosis - A decrease in bone density, which increase the risk of fractures.
- Vitamin D - A vitamin that helps your body absorb calcium.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Author reminds me of my friend, a hunter-turned-prot-warrior. He doesn't like achievements, but after we forced him to tank a few heroic achievements, he started getting interested in the red proto-drake. Now, after a few more achievements, he's more than excited, he's addicted to getting that proto-drake.
Agreed. The whole "bring player, not class" doesn't work well on achievements. How is a group composed of a prot pally, SV hunter, lock, boomkin, and holy priest supposed to complete Less-rabi? They cannot. Simply not enough interrupts. And between heroism/bloodlust and 5-second interrupts and totems, shamans are almost required for some of these achievements.

4The Oath - Mercyful Fate
The lyrics are literally taken from a black mass; how much more evil can you get? With the sound of thunder, a haunting organ, and King Diamond's shrieking falsetto, "The Oath" is basically a love song to Satan.

Here's a tip for the do-it-yourself crowd:
Go to your computer's Start menu, and either go to
"run" or just search for "cmd."
Open it up, and type in "ping [website address],"
Once you have the IP for a website, all you really
need to do is enter it like you would
a normal URL nd hit enter/press go. Typing in
should bring you to the front page of AO3,
for example, just as typing "220.127.116.11/dashboard"
should bring you straight to your Tumblr dashboard.
Since we're obviously bracing for the worst case scenario
which would involve you not being
able to access the internet regularly, you should,
save this list.
Dear Tumblr-ers, -ites, ettes, and whatever other things you may prefer,
Please reblog the crap out of this. Add to it if you feel there is stuff necessary but missing.
P.S. Thank you to the lovely who wrote this up.
Reblogged for future reference.

There are few books on what truly happened in Rwanda during those terrible one hundred days in the spring of 1994. This was the violent, unopposed slaughter of one million people.
One book about this topic is an autobiography by Paul Rusesabagina, who saved one thousand, two hundred and sixty eight people during this time.
I'm currently writing a fictional book on what happened during the genocide.
At this time, there were terrible, brutal, violent massacres. The massacres were carried out by the Interhamwe, which means 'those who fight together' in Kinyarwandan, the language of Rwanda. I can't write more now, but I will be back soon with more on Rusesabagina and on the genocide and just what happened then.

Produced by: Brett Walker, David Pratter
Here is another guy I am a real fan of. Brett Walker's awesome debut album Nevertheless was wonderful slice of singer songwriter AOR / melodic rock and went a long way to establishing this guy as a premier AOR star.
But his follow up Brett Walker & The Railbirds took a turn towards a much softer, acoustic driven Midwestern feel.
I was disappointed with that album and I heard many others were also.
So after a couple of years, what does Lift Off offer us?
Well, there is definitely good news, but also a little bad news.
Back is the trademark Brett Walker guitar and vocal sound from the Nevertheless album. Also back is the style of the songs, more emphasis on a hook and the chorus than on the Railbirds record.
But the bad news is that this is primarily still a very laid back and soft pop record. There is still a punch or hard edge that is missing. Fans of pure Westcoast AOR will not find a better release anywhere, but I have to wonder are there many fans of this genre left?
To my knowledge, most AOR fans are after something a little rockier and are still looking for the next guitar God or something...
This is a great sounding record, there is no doubting that, but I fear it might struggle to find a solid audience.
For a moment, lets look at the record itself.
Tracks like Rain In My Heart, Long Way Down and Don't Mean Much are all great mid tempo pop rockers in the vein of Hard To Find An Easy Way off the debut.
And the classy Not About To Give In mirrors Nevertheless' Lecia.
No One Left To Blame is a Beatles influenced pop track, while Walking In My Sleep is a beautiful ballad with Walker's vocals accompanied only by an acoustic guitar.
A Lot Like Rain and Traveling Blues are both high class ballads.
But it's the rest of the tracks that give cause for concern. While they are individually very well written and great to listen to, collectively they all sound a little too familiar. And being that they all are of slow to mid tempo, the album does seem to drag a little.
|ESSENTIAL FOR: Westcoast fans, Brett Walker fans. Soft AOR/pop rock fans.

"Venetian Rainbow"
There are so many beautiful spaces in Venice…but this particular doorway was special to me. The building felt like it was just washed with freshly drying paint and the city felt like it was constructed out of art itself. The deep emerald green of the canals of course serving to continuously reflect this art back. Wonderful.

This record reminds you how great the songs off Green Day's "American Idiot" record are, how much the band likes playing them, and how much they touched something in young people in 2003-05. It also serves to remind the listener about how it's possible to resurrect your career by making good rock songs with a message. Recommended.

Making its DVD debut a quarter of a century after it spooked all the family on its theatrical run, Poltergeist headlines a 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition package that boasts… a half-hour documentary. Entitled They Are Here: The Real World Of Poltergeists Revealed, said doc rounds up a 'psychic medium', a 'cultural anthropologist', a 'paranormal investigator' and a – wait for it – 'ghost expert' to tell us events in the movie are "somewhat accurate". For those viewers whose German is a little rusty, meanwhile, author Colin Wilson (Poltergeist: A Study In Destructive Haunting) is on hand to explain that the fruity moniker derives from poltern, noisy, and Geist, ghost. "A poltergeist is a bloody nuisance," he splutters. "It's a spiritual juvenile delinquent."
Sadly, maddeningly, the making of the film itself is ignored, perhaps because the question of authorship continues to rumble on. Watched now, as then, it's the spirit of producer Steven Spielberg that haunts pretty much every blue-tinged frame, with the rough-hewn, hostile horrors of director Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre) smoothed out and glossed over. In fact, Poltergeist plays like E.T.'s evil (but not too evil) twin: a suburban family granted an otherworldly visit; silhouetted figures bathed in the Beard's beloved "Godlight"; and showcase effects – some still special, some now shabby – serving, not swallowing, characters and plot.
A precursor to such family-friendly horror as Gremlins and Ghostbusters (both 1984, both superior), Poltergeist's scares are clichéd and tame – a roll-call of helium-voiced psychics, houses built on burial grounds and portals to other dimensions. The performances are solid, the themes intriguing (an attack on godless American capitalism, the triumph of the nuclear family) and the whispery build-up effective, extracting shivers from such familiar objects as a rag doll clown, kitchen chairs and that hearthstone of the modern family – the TV. But any suspense is rapidly crushed by Jerry Goldsmith's swollen orchestral score. A hit nonetheless, Poltergeist became a cultural (ahem) phenomenon and spawned two turgid sequels.

Count on the annual Hope Classic to continue to improve breast cancer care and treatment in the region.
The Bearskin Airlines Hope Classic delivered once again, raising $151,000 in its 18th year in support of the Linda Buchan Centre through the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation.
This year marked the 12th straight time the bonspiel raised more than $150,000, and event chair Sue Childs said the enduring success is a testament to the passion in the community.
"The women feel so strongly about fighting the disease and this event," Childs said at the closing ceremonies at the Fort William Curling Club on Sunday.
"They work so hard all year for it and look how it pays off. There are teams that have yard sales and bake sales, there are companies that get together with the girls and do stuff and put all the money they raise into pledges."
This year's number pushes the event total past the $2.5 million mark since it started in 1997.
The top individual fundraiser was Susan Jones, who was able to amass $13,835.
"I had a lot of support from my work and family and friends, but probably the majority of my fundraising came from corporate donors," she said.
"I've certainly been affected by breast cancer through family...I think we have the best state-of-the-art facilities here and I think it says so much for our community and the warmth and generosity of the city always amazes me."
This year's event had a special meaning to those who participated from the beginning as the 12-year-old granddaughter of the late Linda Buchan, the tournament founder, participated for the first time.
"It was exciting to be in it because I'm the youngest this year," said Sydney Buchan.
"At first I was sad because I thought I would have had to wait longer but I didn't so I'm happy."
Childs added, "For those of us that were there from the beginning it's amazing that here's the third generation.
"When I was talking to (Sydney's) great-grandma she said it was amazing 18 years ago we were watching Linda curl and here we are 18 years later watching Linda's granddaughter curl."
There were 48 teams that participated through the three-day bonspiel that also included lively parties in the evening as well as silent auctions.

Vibration Analysis of Plates, Shells and Bladed Rimmed Discs using the Transfer Matrix-Finite Element Method

In recent years, the vibration problems associated with turbine blades have become of increasing importance. Blades in a gas turbine can fail if they are subjected to alternating forces having certain frequencies. Thus a need has arisen for accurate determination of these dangerous frequencies, so that the possibility of failure occurring during running can be avoided.
This thesis presents a numerical method to predict the frequencies which must be avoided in the design of gas turbines. The accuracy of the method is tested by using it to solve some vibration problems for which analytical or experimental results are available.

Business Ideas in the News / March 11, 2014
How many times have you missed a visitor or package because you did not hear the doorbell ring? Laurence Rook's mom faced the same problem. At only 13 years old, he has designed a unique doorbell that will call you when someone rings it, reports The Tech Herald.
When rung by would-be burglars, the Smart Bell's internal SIM card instantly connects with the owner's mobile phone, allowing them to create the illusion of being at home and providing them with a little more peace of mind while out and about.
By way of added faux authenticity, the Smart Bell intercom also produces a degree of non-descript white noise in order to help fool possible intruders into thinking the person answering is actually inside the house or apartment.
"At first I designed the idea because my mum was fed up going to the Post Office to collect deliveries made when we were not at home," said the canny inventor in a Daily Mail report.
"When I started to develop the Smart Bell, I realised it could also be a great burglar-deterrent," he added.
Clearly more than an interesting gimmick, young Mr. Rook's creation has already been embraced by telecommunications company Commtel Innovate and is expected to hit retail outlets priced 40 GBP.
