Bill Carpenter, full-time faculty member in Literature and Writing, grew up in central Maine, graduated from Waterville High, got a B.A. from Dartmouth and a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota, where he held the University Doctoral Fellowship. He was Assistant Professor of English & Humanities and Inland Steel Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Chicago until 1972, when he saw the startup announcement from College of the Atlantic and decided to change his life. He became the first faculty member at COA and has been teaching here ever since with a short stint as faculty dean in the eighties. His first book of poetry, The Hours of Morning (1980), won the AWP award, followed by Rain (1985) which won the S.F. Morse award, and a collaboration with the artist Robert Shetterley, Speaking Fire at Stones. His novel A Keeper of Sheep was nominated for the ALA gay/lesbian award in 1995. The Wooden Nickel (Little-Brown 2002) is a lobster- and whale-oriented novel of which the New York Times said, "Melville would have approved." His work is widely represented in periodicals and anthologies, including The Maine Poets (2003). His intellectual interests are in modernism and psychoanalysis; his literary and teaching styles tend toward comic exaggeration. He has been an NEA Fellow and a Fellow of the Society for Human Ecology. His escapes from the written word are mainly aboard the 30-foot sloop "Northern Light," which he sails with his family out of Castine, Maine.

Courses Taught
HS3011Bread, Love, and DreamsThis course is an introduction to the unconscious. It begins with the problem of knowing something which by definition is unknown. It then proceeds to examine two classic approaches to the unconscious: dreams and love. Students are expected to keep dream notebooks and to recognize their own unconscious life in the light of readings. Readings start with the unconscious in its classical formulation according to Freud and Jung. We read The Interpretation of Dreams and Two Essays in Analytical Psychology. We consider these themes in fiction using Henry James' The Beast in the Jungle. We then move to more contemporary writers, particularly James Hillman's The Dream and the Underworld, Michel Foucault's History of Sexuality, and finally consider some of the negative implications of the material in Elaine Scarry's The Body in Pain. The writing part of this course is done in pairs, with groups of two students cross-examining each other's dream notebooks and self-analysis.
Level: Intermediate. Prerequisite: A course in literature or psychology. Offered every other year. Class limit: 20. Lab fee: $20. Meets the following degree requirements: HS
HS4015Creative WritingThis class concentrates on the theory and practice of poetry and short fiction, though there will also be a place for "Starting Your Novel" students to finish up. Our goal is to develop the skills of verbal craftsmanship and self-criticism. Class meetings combine the analysis and critque of individual students writing with the discussions of published works by other writers. We also frequently discuss matters of standards, the creative process, and the situation of the writer in the contemporary world. Students are expected to submit one piece each week, to participate in class response to fellow writers, to make revisions on all work, and to contribute their best pieces to the printed class anthoogy at the end of the term.
Level: Intermediate/Advanced. Class limit: 12. Meets the following degree requirements: HS
HS3012Poetry and the American EnvironmentSince Anne Bradstreet in the seventeenth century, American poets have responded to the natural environment and its human transformation. Poets have learned to see by their exposure to nature, then in turn have used their techniques of vision, music and metaphor to teach us how to see who and where we are. This class considers poets of the Romantic and Transcendental movements, spends some time with Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson, then focuses on the twentieth century, especially T.S. Eliot, Wallace Stevens, Robert Frost, Robinson Jeffers, and Elizabeth Bishop. We end with some contemporaries: Robert Hass, Charles Simic, Gary Snyder, and Mary Oliver. Students may write either an analytical paper or a collection of their own poetry. Class meetings are supplemented by additional workshop sessions for student poets.
Level: Intermediate. Meets the following degree requirements: HS
HS3033Satanic VersesThis course is a study of the figure of Satan in classic and contemporary literature and visual art including painting and film. We will view the Satanic image in the light of Jung's shadow archetype, an unconscious compensatory figure in the evolution of morality. It will also be related to ideas of nature and civilization, to major religious structures and to the political techniques of demonization and projection. A centerpiece of the course will be a close reading of Salman Rushdie's "Satanic Verses" and its relation to contemporary Islam. Other readings will be drawn from a list including the books of Genesis and Job from the Old Testament, Jung's "Answer to Job", Sura 46 of the Koran, selections from Dante's "Inferno" and Milton's "Paradise Lost", Goethe's "Faust", William Blake's "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell", Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter," the Grand Inquisitor chapter from Dostoevsky's "Brothers Karamazov", Nietzsche's "The Antichrist", Elaine Pagel's "The Origin of Satan", and the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil". We will also take time to study visual imagery from Bosch, Goya, and the Dore illustrations to Dante. Halfway steering clear of Hollywood, films may include "The Passion of the Christ", Pasolini's "Gospel According to St. Matthew", "Rosemary's Baby", Godard's "Sympathy for the Devil" and Herzog's "Nosferatu the Vampyr." Students will learn to analyze and understand complex literary works in historical and cultural context. Evaluations to be based on two papers (8 & 12 pages) plus one class presentation. The student presentations will be expected to expand the course into areas of popular culture, music, iconography and social behavior.
Level: Intermediate; Class limit: 18; Lab fee $10
HS3029Shakespeare: Character, Conflict, and Cinematography
HS4013Starting Your NovelThis is an intermediate to advanced creative writing class for those interested in an intensive approach to writing longer fiction. It would also be useful to the novel reader as a insider's approach to the structure and purpose of fiction, the relation of author to character, and issues of intentionality. We will be reading first chapters from current novels and studying their opening strategies, then each student will develop plot, character, style and setting ideas for a first novel, followed by writing and revising fifty or sixty pages of their projected work. Other concerns will be narrative viewpoint, handling of time, levels of realism, dialogue techniques, writing habits, motivation & self-discipline, and the relation of fiction to personal experience. Background in creative writing or narrative theory would be helpful but not essential. Evaluation will be based on class participation, strength of the concept, and the quality of the student's writtern work.
Level: Intermediate/Advanced Meets the following degree requirements: HS Limit 10.
HS3013The Aesthetics of ViolenceThis course examines the origin and aesthetics of violence in western culture. We begin with the question: what are the long-term human effects of a civilization dominated by the image of a murdered god? We develop the focus on representations of violence in classical and contemporary literature and film. For theory we read Aristotle's Poetics, Nietzsche's Birth of Tragedy, Ren, Girard's Violence and the Sacred. We study classical tragedy (Oedipus Rex, The Bacchae, Medea) along with Shakespeare's Macbeth, Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment and Brett Easton Ellis' American Psycho. Discussions are supplemented by a film series clarifying the debate over contemporary film violence by placing it in mythic context. Natural Born Killers, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Ride the High Country, and Clockwork Orange are among works studied. Student reports bring us up-to-date on current issues and cases of domestic and serial violence, as well as the politics of censorship, the representation of violence in visual art, the issue of pornography and the myth of the victim hero. To clarify the issue of real versus represented violence we make a class field trip to the Bangor Auditorium for a professional wrestling match.
Level: Intermediate. Class limit: 24. Lab Fee: $15. Meets the following degree requirements: HS
HS836Tutorial: Contemporary Poetry
HS783Tutorial: Evolving Narrative
This advanced tutorial continues work done in "Starting Your Novel" and/or previous fiction tutorials: intensive in-class attention to narrative issues of detail, viewpoint, time & tense, continuity, language, plot and character development, endings and overall design related to reader response. All work is thoroughly discussed in the context of narrative aesthetics in extended weekly small-group sessions; students are expected to write 8-15 pages a week of new material and to provide a revised and edited copy for evaluation at the end. Level: Advanced. Prerequisite: Starting Your Novel. Instructor permission required. Level: Advanced Limit: 5
HS755Tutorial: Fiction in Progress
This advanced tutorial continues work done in "Starting Your Novel" and/or previous fiction tutorials: intensive in-class attention to narrative issues of detail, viewpoint, time & tense, continuity, language, plot and character development, endings and overall design related to reader response. All work is thoroughly discussed in the context of narrative aesthetics in extended weekly small-group sessions; students are expected to write 8-15 pages a week of new material and to provide a revised and edited copy for evaluation at the end. Previous intermediate or advanced fiction courses and instructor permission required. Level: Advanced Limit: 5
HS840Tutorial: Narrative Fiction and Non-fiction
This course focuses on real and symbolic journeys in literature, considering travel as both a physical and psychological phenomenon and the journal as a primary human archetype. Our readings begin with Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces then pass to a number of fictional journeys, including Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Dante's Inferno, Melville's Moby Dick, Charles Johnson's The Middle Passage, Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse, Kerouac's On the Road, and William T. Vollmann's The Butterfly Stories. Two papers, a midterm and term paper, are required; all students also prepare a voluntary oral report. Level: Intermediate. Class limit: 20 *HS*
HS3053VoyagesFrom prehistoric times the journey into the unknown has been both a reality and a metaphor of human experience. This course will follow the archetype of the voyage through major literary narratives and road movies. Its written and class assignments will draw from students' own experience as travelers. Using Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces as a theoretical framework, we'll move on to Homer's Odyssey (selections), Melville's Moby Dick, Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Woolf's To the Lighthouse, Peter Mattheissen's Far Tortuga and the new "scroll" version of Jack Kerouac's On the Road. We'll watch Apocalypse Now, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Stranger than Paradise, Powwow Highway, Wild at Heart, The African Queen. Assignments will include in-class reports on students' own journeys and a nonfiction creative writing section on travel narrative.
Level: Intermediate. Prerequisites: none. Class limit: 16 Lab fee: none. Meets the following degree requirements: HS

June 29, 2015 - These stuffed animals are adorable! I bought one of each (frog and penguin) for my granddaughters. They are cute and very well made.
January 20, 2015 - They are GREAT. Larger than I had expected, I don't think I read the dimensions before buying the frog. It's lovely and the recipient loved it.
January 12, 2015 - I got the penguin but I think all of these are adorable and make wonderful squishy fun gifts.
May 30, 2014 - Got as "Mother's Day" gifts for granddaughter who has bunny. She loved it and called to thank us. Great cause and adorable items.
March 1, 2014 - I got the zebra and just LOVE it. Really large, very well-made, and just the most darling expression. Recommend highly -- I may buy the elephant as well.
Artisan: Everest Fashion
Everest Fashion was established in 1996 as an economical development project with the aim of providing job opportunities for local female handicraft producers in Kathmandu, Nepal. Everest employs only women, and the steady wages they earn from their work helps them feed and clothe their families and send their children to school.
Nepal has few roads and is mostly connected by narrow trade routes and crisscrossing footpaths. Where the roads end, goods are carried on the backs of mules, dzos, yaks, or men and women. The difficulties of travel make it nearly impossible for individual artisans to make a living marketing and selling their wares outside of their local area. Everest helps their artisans reach national and international markets that were previously unavailable and provides customers with an ever-changing array of beautiful and unique handicrafts.
Everest is committed to using natural fibers as much as possible in their goods. Most products are made from renewable sources such as hemp, cotton, allo (a Himalayan nettle), wool and silk, and all products are made from local resources. In this way, they utilize the abundant local raw materials while providing job opportunities for hundreds of villagers.

According to reports, Browns WR Andrew Hawkins is the only receiver standing out in Browns camp thus far.
SMITTY: Aside from stud tight end Jordan Cameron, who will likely lead the team in receptions, yards and TDs in 2014, Andrew Hawkins and Charles Johnson have the most sleeper/breakout appeal when looking at what's left of the Browns wide receiver group. Sure, Miles Austin has a shot to be decent role player for the Browns, but he has all kinds of injury risk. Cameron is the only stud pass catcher on this team, the rest are at best a group of deep, deep fantasy bench guys, with Hawkins likely looking the most promising.

Jeff Bridges' self-titled album is due for an August 16 release on Blue Note Records.
T Bone Burnett produced the album, which includes contributions from Nashville-based musicians Russ Pahl and Dennis Crouch and from ex-Nashvillian Rosanne Cash.
Jeff Bridges includes several of the Oscar-winning actor and musician's compositions, as well as two songs from the late Stephen Bruton. Songwriters John Goodwin, Greg Brown and Bo Ramsey also provided material.
Bridges and Burnett met in 1980 on the set of motion picture Heaven's Gate, and they worked together on the soundtrack for the movie Crazy Heart, co-writing (with Ryan Bingham) "The Weary Kind," which won an Oscar for best original song.

What is VoIP?
VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, is a new form of digital telephone service in which calls are sent and received over the Internet. To utilize VoIP, all users need is a high speed Internet connection and a service provider.
VoIP technology offers many highly advanced, next generation calling features. Often these features are included, and can be real valuable assets every step of the way throughout your specific communication needs. Traditionally, many of the calling features now included with VoIP telephony were exercised by a human being operating a switchboard. Directing call traffic appropriately is vital to the success of any business. With voice over IP, many of them are customizable to put your business at the pinnacle of efficiency and professionalism. Network features are designed to make sure your business never misses a beat - keeping your infrastructure at the tip of your fingers at all times.
How does it work compared to a "normal" phone?
Answer: You won't even notice a difference. To make a call, you pick up your phone like normal, dial the number you want to reach, your phone connects to the PSTN, and connect using your internet connection instead of a traditional circuit board landline.
Traditional landlines work by transferring analog voice signals over copper wires. While VoIP works by converting analog voice into digital data packets and transmitting it over the internet.

Concannon has just completed a ten-year unparalleled $30 million revitalization project to preserve our past as well as prepare for our "next century."
Preserving Vineyards
Livermore Valley's unique rocky soil defines the wines of Concannon Vineyard. Cherished winemakers have come and gone, but our vineyards have grown memorable grapes for over a century. To support vineyard health and ensure continued fruit quality over time, we are actively preserving our old vines and interplanting our rows. We utilize sustainable vineyard management practices endorsed by California's Wine Institute, and in March 2010 were one of the only seventeen wineries to be certified by the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance, which recognizes our commitment to environmental stewardship, conservation of natural resources and socially equitable business practices. Our Conservancy wine tier is sourced 100% from Livermore Valley vineyards set aside in a conservation trust to protect them forever from urban development. Our goal is to preserve Livermore Valley viticulture and a simpler way of life for future generations.
Preserving Our Winemaking Heritage
Our new barrel room allows us to gently handle the fruit of our vineyards. We still use traditional French white oak upright casks to age our Petite Sirah, and we complement that program by using the best available modern oak barrels for other wines. We also use a modern pneumatic basket press during harvest, in homage to the original German basket press brought around Cape Horn for the original winery. Our new winery is employing other practices with an eye to a sustainable future, such as covering 80% of our winery's roof with solar panels that supply a significant amount of our energy requirements.
Preserving the Past
Our historic redwood winery has been restored to preserve the best of the past, while allowing us to prepare for future growth. Redwood staves from large vintage redwood casks previously used for wine aging have been reclaimed for the new Concannon Vineyard Tasting Bar, and used as wood panel accents throughout the Tasting Room. Century-old cedar planks were carefully removed from the old tasting room ceiling and refurbished for use on the building's exterior, along with some of original brick used on the exterior and our courtyard fountain.
Preserving Quality
Concannon Vineyard will continue in its role as a pioneer as we juxtapose modern technology with our treasured rocks and vines. We are preparing for the next century by embracing sustainable vineyard practices and utilizing state-of-the art technology, while honoring and preserving our past. Come visit us to learn more about our efforts to preserve Livermore's winemaking heritage for future generations.

Recipe by Kristen
"This recipe is called 'Best Lasagna' because it is rated best by my family and friends. May be served with a light garden salad with Italian dressing."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (16 ounce) package
lasagna noodles
1 pound
ground beef
onion, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon
Italian seasoning
4 cups
ricotta cheese
1 cup
grated Romano cheese
2 1/2 cups
spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 cups
shredded mozzarella cheese
medium zucchini, sliced
1 cup
fresh basil leaves
I used Italian Sausage (Jimmy Dean's) in place of beef- which was INCREDIBLE, cottage cheese in place of ricotta and parmesan in place of romano. I also used 2 jars of spaghetti sauce and 1/2 cups (1 package shredded all together) extra mozzerella. Also added a couple cloves of minced garlic. Can't leave that out!!
It was the absolutely the best lasagna ever! I also used the no-cook lasagna noodles and just put them in the dish dry, it worked great- and saved a lot of time and mess. I highly recommend these changes to anyone. I will be making it again and again. My boyfriend was ecstatic as well!
Is the amount of ricotta cheese a misprint? This was my first time making lasagna and I picked this recipe because I like chesse. But the ricotta was waaaay too overpowering for my homemade spaghetti sauce and the dish turned out to be really disgusting. If I was to try to make this recipe again I would use half as much ricotta. Yuck.

A really good recipe for lasagna. Very easy to make. I used the suggestion of sausage instead of hamburger meat. That worked very well, but I am going to try the hamburger next time for the texture. Definitely needed A LOT more pasta sauce. If you are going to try this, triple what the original recipe calls for in this regard.
Fantastic. I used the suggestions of all the reviewers to make sure that this turned out well. First, I added a few cloves of minced garlic to the meat. I also kept the ricotta/romano mixture (to which I added a beaten egg and a package of frozen spinach) separate from the meat/sauce mixture. For the sauce I used my favorite garden vegetable chunky spaghetti sauce. This made for a lasagna that my boyfriend claims is my best yet! By the way, half a package of lasagna noodles would have been sufficient. I ended up throwing away half of the pound. Thank you for the recipe!
I made this last night for dinner with friends and they loved it! I read the reviews and made some changes. I used no boil noodles and used a total of 12 (4 layers of 3 across). I added a tablespoon of garlic to the meat mixture because I love garlic and left out the salt and pepper (it didn't need it). I used 2 cups of ricotta and 2 cups of cottage cheese. I also used a Romano/Parmesan mixture. I used more sauce than the recipe called for - almost 2 jars. I also added a box of frozen spinach to the cheese mixture and did not mix the meat sauce with it, layering it instead. I only used 1 zucchini and that seemed to be plenty. The basil leaves added a wonderful flavor. I love meat lasagna and veggie lasnaga - this was the best of both worlds!
I am only giving this 4 stars because I took the advice of a fellow rater and decreased the ricotta by half. It turned out great! And I did also use more spaghetti sauce.
with tweaks mentioned below - this was INCREDIBLE!!
Not bad! However, when I made it (following the recipe) it tasted like it was missing something. It needed a little more flavor.

Now that the Christmas cookies and New Year's Eve toasts have been replaced with resolutions and regrets, many people are scouring the Internet for ways to lose the extra pounds they packed on during the holiday season.
What these Web searchers are finding is that the online offerings in the diet realm are immense -- and each promises tantalizing results.
Diet experts are quick to point out that it is unlikely that any option offers a "magic bullet" for weight loss, unless it brings about a significant change in lifestyle habits.
"Any diet that significantly reduces a person's calorie intake is likely to cause temporary weight loss," notes Joanne Ikeda, cooperative extension nutrition education specialist and lecturer in the Nutritional Sciences Department at University of California, Berkeley. "However, permanent weight loss remains an elusive goal for most people."
"There are some very silly -- and even dangerous -- ways to lose weight," said Dr. David Katz, co-founder and director of the Yale Prevention Research Center. "The problem with gauging the utility of diets is that the wrong metrics are used; short-term weight loss is not a measure of true success."
Still, many may hold out hope that they can find a diet that will at least kick-start their efforts to a healthier 2009.
ABCNews.com rounded up some of the most popular diets of the New Year, based on recent news and search-engine queries. We then subjected these diets to the scrutiny of nutrition experts Ikeda, Katz, and Keith-Thomas Ayoob, director of the nutrition clinic at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
The following pages feature each of these diets, as well as whether or not you can count on them to help you achieve a healthier weight.
What It Is: The Flat Belly Diet, which was launched by "Prevention" magazine editor-in-chief Liz Vaccariello, is a plan that is built around a 1,600-calorie-per-day strategy that allows dieters to eat four meals per day selected from hundreds of meal possibilities.
Central to the diet is the principle that every meal must contain a source of MUFA -- short for monounsaturated fatty acids. According to the diet's proponents, these predominantly nut-based oils can target-reduce dangerous belly fat. The diet also commences with a 4-day jumpstart to get rid of abdominal bloating, during which a dieter drinks what the proponents of the diet call Sassy Water, a lemon- and ginger-containing beverage named after "Prevention" nutrition director Cynthia Sass.
And according to a small MRI imagine study released Monday out of the Yale University Prevention Research Center, the diet reduced visceral belly fat on average by 33 percent in 28 days for nine overweight women. Other risk factors, such as high cholesterol and blood pressure, were also reduced in the study participants.
Expert Verdict:
Katz: "[The diet is] generally healthful, with an emphasis on foods noted as being good for insulin resistance. My lab actually studied the effects of this short term, and they were quite good."
Ayoob: "You may have a flatter belly in 32 days but that's because you're losing weight, pure and simple. Make no mistake, your body will determine where you lose weight. It tends to come from the belly first anyway -- that's usually the body's first preference -- but it's the weight loss that's flattening your belly, not some diet miracle."

skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup
fat free ranch dressing
2 tablespoons
chopped garlic
1 tablespoon
chopped fresh basil
Lowfat and delicious! I use light ranch dressing and rosemary instead of basil plus a little salt and cracked black pepper. I also add a little olive oil to tenderize the chicken and reserved 1/4 of the marinade to baste the chicken with while grilling. I cut the chicken into cubes for kabobs and put everthing into a ziploc bag to marinate for a few hours. Very moist!
Very easy to prepare. I was not overly impressed with the taste so I don't think I will make it again.

***WOW*** My family LOVES this recipe! I've been using Allrecipes for well over a year, and I just joined so I can finally rate this recipe! I've used this SO many times, and it is the BEST! I use regular Ranch dressing (not non-fat), more fresh basil,(about 1/2 cup chopped),and fresh ground pepper to taste. I also pound the chicken first, then marinate. The longer the better, sometimes overnite, but a few hours works as well. It is fork tender, cooks quickly, and does not get any easier than this. TRY IT!! For those that thought it was bland (?) try a pinch of cayenne possibly. :-)
Excellent recipe for a quick easy bbq'd chicken dinner. Used the home made ranch dressing found on this site. Entire family loved it...even the picky eaters.
Delicious, fast, and easy. We used Kraft Light Done Right Ranch and had no problems with burning. Used garlic salt instead of garlic and though the taste came out great. We'll use it again!
tried this out since my husband and I both love ranch ... tasted good. However, I guess I was looking for more ranch flavor then it had --I did marinate for at least 4 hours. Next time will use ranch packet and make a marinade. The chicken did taste good and will make again with modifications.
for only being 2grams of fat, i rate this recipe a 5! It was delicious! Just the right amount of flavor, and very quick to make. I used sour cream and onion fat free ranch instead. My only problem is the burning, but that could be because i had the heat on a little too high.Overall--Satisfying!!!
I was looking for something different than the typical barbeque sauce on the chicken so this was a welcome change. I watched the chicken closely but it still burned a little, so be careful.
Also, the flavor would probably be more intense if you marinated it for longer than 1/2 an hour.
Good flavor and moist.

Some of the labels are in an annotation feature class in a geodatabase. Some are not (i.e. I just have the lable features checkbox ticked). All labels are not masked.

This one is very lightweight and easy to use.
It tooks only two minute to build and the weight is about 10 gramm.
just to share some experiments I've done... this is a variation of the stove: only one ring of holes, only 10 holes, and the central large "cross" hole is folded INSIDE so I can put a coin over it after filling with alcohol.
Put some alcohol over the coin to speed up lighting
Well, it probably is the simplest "penny stove" clone ;-) with a nice flame pattern
And, as the flame never go inside, probably cloth padding will last more
I've done some modification:
- I've done the small holes with a push-pin: faster & better holes
- I've put the top cup INSIDE the bottom cup, because in the original project some little flamed alcohol leaked from the "folder" near the bottom, now it's ok
- I've used rockwool instead of piece of clothes: the flame I've got seems a little more "pressurized" than the one in your photo (but I'm not sure it is for this reason...)
- Lighting it from the top require 2-3 minutes in order to get the stove to full power; it will go to full power in few seconds instead if "primed" wetting the bottom of the stove with few drops of alcohol and then lighting them
- I can fill it with max 14 gr of ethilic alcohol (half ounce), with this amount of alcohol it will boil half liter of water in 9-10 minutes, and die a minute later...
- Really smart and simple-to-build micro-stove! ;-)
Side note:
- I'd like to build a so-simple stove with little more capacity to make more complex "cooking" with it, but don't know how to find similar but bigger cups, and don't want to use a can-stove; ...any idea?
thanks for your comments. It's great to get some positive response.
Rockwool works surely better and longer than clothes which burns after some time.
The top inside the bottom is really a good idea and the only right one.
If you want to try a bigger one maybe a Altoids mint can works (yes, that hurts) or use these smaller Red Bull can, or hairspray can ...
empty one after use!
Good luck
If you got the ethanol rubbing alcohol then that's understandable. Also, try the 60% kind. It burns even more clean.

Research Interests
Research demonstrates a highly predictive relationship between alcohol exposure of an unborn child during pregnancy and the chance of later alcohol abuse during the already "at risk" age of adolescence. Also, the younger these children first experience alcohol the greater the likelihood of continued abuse. Yet, the processes underlying this increasing pattern of alcohol use and abuse are poorly understood. The senses of smell, taste, and oral irritation, which combine to give us our perception of flavor, can be modified by experience throughout life, including during development in the womb. Why is this important? Because we learn through experience by way of flavor cues in amniotic fluid and even a mother's breast-milk what foods the mother ate and prefers and, in turn, what is presumably good to eat. Unfortunately, this normally beneficial process is also at play when a mother drinks alcohol, and the flavor qualities of the drug are known to be important determinants of preference and intake behavior. Work in our lab focuses on understanding the processes by which exposure of the unborn child during pregnancy induces changes in the systems involved in the preference for alcohol odor and the acceptability of alcohol's flavor. This, in turn, contributes to the risk of initial alcohol use and continued adolescent abuse. Further, we wish to understand how adolescent experience with the drug increases the fetal effect and causes the alcohol-induced changes to continue into adulthood.

Research Abstract
In Utero Ethanol Exposure, Chemosensory Plasticity and Adolescent Drug Preference.
Human studies point to a causal relationship between fetal alcohol exposure and adolescent ethanol abuse. Fetal exposure is, perhaps, the best predictor of abuse in this "at risk" age group, and there is an inverse correlation between the age of first experience and continued abuse. Understanding why these adolescents initiate and maintain alcohol use is critical to prevention and treatment. How is the adolescent brain altered by fetal exposure so that ethanol avidity is enhanced? How does continued use increase adult acceptance?
The working hypothesis of my lab is that fetal ethanol experience induces developmental changes in one or more of the neural systems involved in the preference for ethanol odor and the perception of ethanol's flavor (the integration of smell, taste, and oral irritation): thus contributing to the risk of initial ingestion and continued use. Furthermore, adolescent ethanol use (i.e., re-exposure) perpetuates these developmental changes, thereby enhancing ethanol intake into adulthood.
To date, our studies have reported that gestational ethanol exposure "tunes" both the peripheral neural and innate behavioral olfactory responses to ethanol odor in early postnatal rats. A parallel study showed that ethanol intake is enhanced in these animals. This constellation of prenatal exposure effects persists into the at-risk age of adolescence. Expression of olfactory bulb genes involved in synaptic transmission and plasticity as well as neuronal development (both cell fate and axon/neurite outgrowth) are also altered in these adolescent animals. Importantly, we demonstrated that a significant proportion of the elevated ethanol avidity resulting from fetal exposure is directly attributable to: (1) the enhanced ethanol odor response; and (2) attenuated taste-mediated responsiveness to ethanol's bitter-like taste quality. In short, our work has revealed that fetal ethanol exposure alters the development of the smell and taste systems so that the normally aversive odor and flavor of ethanol become more acceptable - enhancing intake. Moreover, our studies implicate decreases in oral irritation as a potentially important contributor to this consequence, as well.
Based on this work, are now applying a set of interdisciplinary techniques (behavioral, functional and anatomical) to examine the impact of fetal ethanol exposure on: (1) specific olfactory and limbic system structures important to odor hedonics and their role in ethanol acceptability; (2) gustatory and oral somatosensory brainstem structures and their role in taste-mediated/orosensory responses to ethanol and its component qualities (sweet, bitter and irritancy); and (3) the persistence of these developmental effects into adulthood.
In Utero Nicotine Experience and Chemosensory PlasticityThere are remarkable parallels between the neurodevelopmental sequelae associated with the toxic effects of fetal nicotine exposure and those stemming from prenatal ethanol. We propose there are epigenetic chemosensory mechanisms by which maternal patterns of drug use are transferred to offspring. Given that many licit (e.g., tobacco products) and illicit (e.g., marijuana) drugs have noteworthy chemosensory components, we believe the extension of our studies to fetal nicotine exposure has broad implications for establishing the general relationship between maternal patterns of drug use, child development and postnatal vulnerability. These new studies and are currently focused on determining the relationship between fetal nicotine exposures, early postnatal and adolescent odor-guided responsiveness to and orosensory mediated acceptance of nicotine, and sensory function.
Analysis of Olfactory Marker Protein's (OMP) Role in Odor Processing.
We are presently combining state-of-the-art molecular biology, sophisticated animal psychophysics and neurophysiological optical recording techniques to address the functional importance of a specific protein found exclusively in olfactory sensory neurons, namely olfactory marker protein (OMP). This direction of the laboratory highlights a surprisingly uncommon research approach despite its great potential to reveal fundamental principles of nervous system function, namely, examining and manipulating gene expression in conjunction with behavioral and neurophysiological assessments.
To date, we have behaviorally shown that mice lacking the gene for OMP have a 2 log unit elevation in threshold sensitivity and an alteration in odorant quality perception. Moreover, the neurophysiological basis for these defects can be found in an altered response and recovery kinetics of the sensory neurons and a muting of the spatial activity patterns that are characteristic for different odorants. In order to draw a direct link between gene deletion and the observed phenotype both the neurophysiologic and behavioral defects have been rescued by in vivo gene delivery and transient expression of the protein. These data, taken together, have led to the hypothesis that OMP is a novel modulatory component of the odor detection/signal transduction cascade in olfactory sensory neurons. We are continuing to further explore the mechanistic underpinnings of this hypothesis.
Olfactory Biomarkers for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) (with S. Faraone)
The multi-factorial nature of ADHD and the involvement of both genes and environment early in its development, suggests that an effective biomarker should be sensitive to both the environmental and genetic risks known to increase the risk for ADHD. Using behavioral and molecular methods, we have been pursuing the novel hypothesis that such a biomarker can be derived through the study of olfaction and gene expression in the olfactory epithelium (OE). Of particular relevance to our work is the observation that the intracellular cascade of signal transduction events involving the G-protein-dependent elevation of cyclic AMP (cAMP) has been implicated in ADHD through both molecular genetic studies in humans and studies of ADHD relevant toxic exposures in rodents. For example, GNAL, Calmodulin, and CAMKII show significant changes in gene expression subsequent to prenatal PCB exposure in a rat model; these genes are also implicated in a genome-wide association scan of ADHD patients. These findings are noteworthy since olfactory sensory transduction occurs through G-protein dependent signaling. Further, deficits in olfactory function have been anecdotally associated in the literature with ADHD in humans. Taken together, these data suggest the provocative possibility that behavioral and molecular olfactory abnormalities could be both prognostic of and diagnostic for specific underlying etiologies of ADHD. We are currently pursuing this by studying whether ADHD patients suffer from impaired olfactory ability. In a preliminary study of twenty-seven patients, all but one showed evidence of olfactory dysfunction. We are now planning molecular studies in which we will be assessing the OE of ADHD patients for many of the genes relevant to ADHD, such as those regulating dopaminergic transmission, calcium signaling, etc. We hypothesize that the genetic variants and neurodevelopmental toxic exposures that cause ADHD, lead to a lifelong pattern of dysregulated gene expression that can be detected in OE cells. If we are correct, our work will provide an objective biomarker that may eventually replace or supplement the subjective judgments currently used to diagnose the disorder.

I briefly touched upon this topic on my previous posting, but it was not in
the title.
I would like to do brazing using TIG equipment instead of having to use
a torch.
I don't want to use a torch because I do not want to have to deal with
tanks of oxygen and flammable gasses. Having a tank of nitrogen or other
inert gas is okay.
I was told that it is possible to get decent brazes using TIG equipment as long
as I use an inert gas such as nitrogen for the gas shield. Using an inert gas
for the shield could elminate the need for a flux.
I plan to braze dissimilar metals (aluminum to steel or to brass) for artwork
and jewelry. Nothing structural or requiring inspection and certification. I anticipate using metals up to about 1/8th or 3/16th inch thick maximum; most
thinner (1/32nd to 1/16th).
I am looking at the Dynasty series which can go down to about 1 amp.
Have any of you any experience brazing with TIG equipment instead of using
Thank you

Brazing with GTAW (TIG) equipmnet
Yes you can braze with a tig torch, its nothing special just a different heat source. Shielding gas is typically pure Argon. You may still want the flux as its for cleaning the base material more then anything to do with the filler. Heck you can torch braze without flux if everything is clean. There are some downsides to using the tig though.
1-Easy to boil the filler due to high local heat imput
2-Cant sweat joints together as easily
3-flux residue can foul the tungsten and cups
4-Heat control is not as directional
You want to join aluminum to steel? I believe some of the flea-market rods ( high zinc) will "stick" to both, and since your doing artsy work strength isnt an issue. As far as I know there are only a handful of people in the world that braze aluminum to steel by hand for strength using the multi-step process.
I have 2 of the dynastys, they are tops, but im curious as to why you are affraid of the torch? As far as I know the torch is more capable and flexible.
The gasses are nothing to be affraid of, have been around for over 100 years in basicly the same format.

Nitrogen is not inert. Only argon and helium are completly inert. There are other fuel gases that are alot safer and cleaner than accetylene if this is an issue for you. Propane, MAPP gas, propylene, hydrogen, etc....
The only time accetylene is absolutly nessicary is when fusion welding metals, other than that all the other gases will pre-heat, braze, and cut ferrous metals. The only reason accetylene is required for welding is because out of the 2 gases that get a hot enough flame (accetylene, propylene) it's the only one that doesn't effect the base metal at the nesisary temp. for welding. Propylene produces a small amount of moister as it burns wich is detrimental to welding but fine for brazing. For your aplication I'd recomend prapane. It's clean, eficiant, and cheap. Also you can get gas cylinders in many different sizes from realy small (aproximatly 5 pounds) to realy large (as large as you want).

Our highest hopes are that we may provide the best quality plastic surgery care available. We are a team of professionals dedicated to safe compassionate care. This is based on the belief that patients are best served by receiving honest in depth information about the most current and effective techniques in the specialty today.

Cosmetic Facial Surgery
Hand Surgery
Skin Cancer/Reconstruction
The decision to have plastic surgery is a very personal one, as is the choice of the physician who will perform the surgery. An important factor in success to plastic surgery is the skill of the person who conducts the operation. Dr. Herold has undertaken five years of general surgery, two years of plastic surgery, and one year of hand surgery training to develop the skills of a specialty surgeon. This has been further developed through eight years of practice in Sheboygan, WI and yearly attendance in national meetings to evaluate and integrate newer techniques into his surgical practice. A consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon is the first step an individual should take if considering plastic surgery. When you visit our office for the first time we will obtain information pertaining to your medical history and objectives. During your appointment Dr. Herold will examine you and discuss specific details of your case, including your present feelings and expectations, the actual treatment plan or operative procedure, what the surgery could realistically accomplish, and additional factors which should be considered. We want you to thoroughly understand and be comfortable with your proposed surgery or treatment plan. If surgery is necessary to accomplish the result you desire, Dr. Herold and his office staff will help arrange a date and time that is convenient for you.

Highland basketball fans will get a double treat today as both of its teams have Class 1A, Division II playoff games that will be held at Ballinger High School.
Highland's girls begin the doubleheader by taking on Water Valley at 6:30 p.m. in a regional quarterfinal. Highland advanced by beating Zephyr 48-29 in its area playoff this past Friday. Sierra Allen had 16 points and Hannah Allen 11 to pace the 13-A, Division II champion Lady Hornets, who had a first-round bye.
Highland is 28-4 for the season, while Water Valley, the runnerup in 14-A, Division II, is 25-5 overall.
In today's second game, the Highland boys — who qualified for the playoffs as the No. 2 team in 13-A, Division II — take on Rob-ert Lee (third place in 14-A, Division II) in a bi-district matchup at 8 p.m.
Highland is 15-14 overall this season while Robert Lee comes in at 16-8. High-land tied Hermleigh for second place in 13-A but won a tiebreaker 42-36 on Friday.

Recent reviews:
December 23, 2013 - I have "a thing" for boxes, coolers, and backpacks. I really like this one as it's medium sized and therefore convenient. It holds a large Thinkpad with ease and much more for work. When I take the dogs on a hike, it holds a Frisbee, my lunch, and all their stuff, and the side pockets hold two water bottles. The top handle is padded and very secure. If it has drawback, it's just that the message is understated. Nobody has ever asked me about ribbon, which is only about 1"high.
November 22, 2013 - I have been very happy with this backpack. At first it seemed smaller than I expected, but I have been able to fit a massive clipboard that holds papers inside it, my iPad, multiple composition books, my winter accessories, my fluffy stuffed pencil pouch, and random toys in it to take with me every day. The comfort straps are very comfortable and feel rather interesting. The straps on the sides would make it easy to roll up and carry a blanket if needed. Best of all, I can carry my water bottle in the mesh pocket on the side. In the other mesh pocket i can fit my foldable DJ headphones. The only less-than-perfect detail is that one time the clip for the chest strap wouldn't come undone. I don't use that anyway, but I have to remember not to fidget with it so I don't get stuck in it again. This is my favourite backpack I've had mainly for the compartment organisation. I highly recommend it.
February 28, 2013 - I work full-time and am working on my bachelor's degree. This backpack is the perfect size for my books and things I carry to work. It's well made and I don't have to worry about it falling apart. At least in buying this I can support those that have autism.
February 8, 2013 - I bought this for my 14-year old son with Autism. He Loves it! All the compartments & area for mp3 player/headphones pleased him so very much. He likes snapping the 2 straps together for extra support. The discrete ribbon on the back helps people (i hope) understand why he is a little different from them. I am very pleased with this purchase & would recommend it.

National Alliance on Mental Illness
page printed from http://www2.nami.org/
(800) 950-NAMI; email@example.com
PLAN (Planned Lifetime Assistance Network)
PLAN programs were developed to meet the needs of families who are actively planning for the future of an adult child with a disability. The mission of these independent, not-for-profit programs is to help families develop a future-care plan, establish the resources for payment, and identify the person(s) or program(s) responsible for carrying out the plan. Most PLAN programs also provide current services that relieve parents of part of the daily burden of care. Currently, throughout the country, there are 18 PLAN affiliates in 22 states. There are four programs in the development stage. These programs comprise the National PLAN Alliance, a service component of NAMI.
Parents of an adult child with a disability (PLAN programs cover all disabilities, including mental illnesses) want the peace of mind that after they pass away someone will help their child maintain a certain quality of life and ensure his or her best interests. The concept of future-care planning for people with disabilities is founded on the desire to develop a safety net for the adult child and prevent the need for public-sector services.
In the case of a family of an adult child with a mental illness, a specific future-care plan would be developed to delineate the activities and services the family wants to ensure for their loved one. A financial mechanism (most often a supplemental needs trust, or third-party trust) is then created to pay for these activities and services after the family is no longer able to provide. Subsequently, a service provider and/or trustee is identified to guarantee that the plan is implemented. Thus, a contract is developed that secures that the best possible care from the mental health system and government-entitlement benefits is provided to the family member with a mental illness, either in the community or a hospital.
For further information concerning the PLAN programs currently available or how to start a PLAN in your own area, contact Carol Obloy, chair, National PLAN Alliance (phone/fax: (518) 587-3372, email: email@example.com) or on their website at www.nationalplanalliance.org
The National PLAN Alliance has 18 member programs in 22 states. PLAN programs are established to serve the future care planning needs of families who have an adult relative with mental illness or other lifelong disabilities. Please contact the National PLAN Alliance for information regarding:
Life Planning Workbook, a workbook designed to help families gather the information required to begin the planning process to assure that caring never ends.
PLAN Guidebook, a guide to help those interested in establishing a PLAN (Planned Lifetime Assistance Network) program through each step in the process.
National PLAN Alliance Survey and Marketing Tool, designed to provide data that helps with PLAN program development.

Fernando Alonso was fastest around Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina circuit as tyre manufacturer Pirelli concluded their first team tests.
The Italian company is returning to Formula One next year as the sole tyre supplier, following the withdrawal of Japanese firm Bridgestone, and each of the 12 teams were given access to two sets of Pirelli's medium and soft tyres for testing.
Ferrari led the way with Fernando Alonso clocking a time of one minute 40.529 seconds as the Spaniard completed 105 laps.
Michael Schumacher took second place in 1:40.685, while the Red Bull of newly crowned world champion Sebastian Vettel was third with a time of 1:40.825.
The day was also the last Red Bull would be running the RB6 - the car that brought glory to the team in both this year's drivers' and constructors' championships.
Ian Morgan, Red Bull's race engineering chief, said it had been good to get a feel for the new tyres ahead of the 2011 campaign.
"It's been interesting to work with different tyres here and it was good to have the opportunity to get information using a car we know well - the RB6 - before starting to work with the new car next year," Morgan said.
"Overall we have done everything we planned to and we're looking forward to working with Pirelli in the future."
"It's sad that this is the last day of running for the RB6 - it's a car that we have enjoyed a great deal of success with this year - but we're looking forward to 2011."

*For decoration, not eating.
What is the Day of the Dead (El Dia de los Muertos)?
Día de los muertos is a Mexican holiday that honors the dead. The holiday is also celebrated in many Mexican American communities. Día de los muertos is Spanish for day of the dead. During this celebration, families gather in churches, at cemeteries, and in homes. They pray for and remember their deceased loved ones.
Día de los muertos is usually celebrated on November 2. That day is the Roman Catholic feast of All Souls' Day. In some communities, the dead are remembered over several days, including November 1, All Saints' Day. The celebration combines ancient native beliefs and Catholic traditions.
Many families prepare an elaborate altar, known as an ofrenda (offering), for the holiday. They set up the ofrendas in their homes and in cemeteries. The ofrendas are decorated with flowers, fruits, popular foods, sweets, and drinks. They are created to welcome back for a day the souls of departed family members and friends. Special candies and pan de muerto (bread of the dead), a sweet bread, are popular treats. They are served in the shape of skulls, skeletons, and other symbols of death.
The day of the dead reinforces the ancient belief that death is a part of life. It is an important tradition through which families pass on their oral histories. Recalling stories of past family members helps keep these ancestors alive for future generations.
