SITE DESCRIPTION: The Former AMCO Chemical Facility (Facility) is located at 1414 3rd Street in Oakland, California, one block south of the West Oakland Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station. The Facility is bordered on the north by a vacant lot owned by BART, on the west by residences, on the south by 3rd Street, and on the east by Nelson Mandela Parkway (formerly Cypress Street). The size of the Facility property is approximately 160 - 200 feet by 226 feet (about 0.9 acre). The Cypress (I-880) Freeway corridor crosses just to the south, passing over 3rd Street near the southeast corner of the property. The current land use at the Facility is light industrial; land use in surrounding areas is a mix of commercial/light industrial and residential. The nearest residences are immediately adjacent to the Facility along 3rd and Center Streets.
DESCRIPCION DEL SITIO: La Corporaci¾n AMCO Chemical (instalaci¾n) operaba en el 1414 calle Tercera de Oakland, California a una manzana al sur de la estaci¾n de West Oakland del Bay Area Rapid Transit (siglas en inglķs BART). Los lĒmites de la instalaci¾n son los siguientes: por el norte hay un lote baldĒo propiedad de BART, al oeste hay residencias, al sur estß la calle Tercera, y al este el lĒmite es Nelson Mandela Parkway (antiguamente la calle Cypress). El tamaZo de la instalaci¾n es de aproximadamente 160-200 pies por 226 pies (mßs o menos 0.9 acre). El Corredor del Cypress (I-880) Freeway cruza donde AMCO Chemical operaba, por la porci¾n sobre la calle Tercera, cerca de la esquina sudeste de la propiedad. El uso actual del terreno en la instalaci¾n es de la industria ligera; en los alrededores el uso es una mezcla de comercio/industria ligera y residencial. Las residencias mßs cercanas estßn adyacentes al sitio por la calle Tercera y calle Center.
OPERATIONAL HISTORY: Prior to the 1960s, the AMCO Chemical Site (Site) was used by a variety of businesses including an Anheuser Busch Store House (around 1911), a bottle and rag dealer (around 1931), and Walter Cole Tank Works (around 1951). From the 1960s to 1989, the Site was owned and operated by AMCO as a chemical distribution facility. Bulk chemicals were off-loaded from a rail spur onsite and stored in drums and storage tanks before being transferred to smaller containers for resale. Bulk chemical storage facilities included 12 aboveground tanks, two underground tanks, and numerous drums. The drums and tanks were removed from the Site in 1989. AMCO facility buildings that remain on the property include an office, a warehouse, and small storage sheds. Historical buildings that no longer exist at the Site include an ice house, formerly located on the north side of the property, and a large shed, formerly located at the western edge of the property. The warehouse was used to store drums and for the transfer of chemicals into smaller containers. The ice house was used for drum storage. From 1989 to 1998, DC Metals used the property, along with a few nearby properties on Center Street, as a scrap metals yard. DC Metals operations closed down in November 1998 and metal scrap was removed from the Site. The Site is currently leased to Cable Moore, Inc., and is used primarily for cable storage.
HISTORIAL DE OPERACIONES: Antes de los a±os sesenta, el sitio alberg¾ una gran variedad de negocios, incluyendo un almacķn de Anheuser Busch (hacia 1911), un comerciante en botellas y trapos (hacia 1931), y Walter Cole Tank Works (hacia 1951). Desde los a±os sesenta hasta 1989 los duenos y operadores del local era AMCO, dedicado a la distribuci¾n de productos quĒmicos. Los productos quĒmicos se transferĒan desde los vagones del tren, con sus propios apartaderos en el sitio, hasta los tanques de almacenamiento, para despuķs poner el producto en tanques y bidones peque±os para su venta. Para el almacenamiento del producto quĒmico voluminoso contaban con 12 tanques sobre tierra, dos tanques bajo tierra y varios bidones. Los bidones y los tanques los sacaron del sitio en 1989. Los edificios que utilizaba AMCO que a·n existen consisten de una oficina, un almacķn y unos cobertizos peque±os. Los edificios hist¾ricos que ya no existen en el sitio consistĒan en una casa refrigerador (ice house) que se situaba en la parte norte de la propiedad y un cobertizo grande que se situaba anteriormente a la orilla del lĒmite oeste de propiedad. El almacķn era el lugar donde se guardaban los tanques y donde se transferĒan los productos quĒmicos a bidones peque±os. La casa refrigerador la usaban para almacenar los bidones. Desde 1989 hasta 1998 DC Metals utiliz¾ la propiedad, junto con otras propiedades adyacentes por la calle Center, como yarda para chatarra de metal. En 1998 DC Metals cerr¾ su negocio y la chatarra la sacaron toda. Hoy la propiedad la alquila Cable Moore, Inc., quien la usa para almacenamiento de cable.
Contaminants and Risks
Contaminated Media
- Groundwater
- Air
- Soil and Sludges
In 1996, investigations performed on behalf of PG&E and the California Department of Transportation documented the presence of chlorinated solvents and other contaminants such as vinyl chloride along 3rd Street, south of the Site. Subsequent investigations confirmed the presence of chlorinated solvents and other contaminants, including vinyl chloride, in soil, soil gas, and groundwater on or near the Site. Some of these chlorinated solvents are human carcinogens. Sampling has indicated that the Site poses no immediate threat to residents; however, there is concern that contaminants from the Site may pose a potential threat if nothing is done. It is important to note that the groundwater beneath the Site is not being used by the community as a drinking water source.
Las investigaciones hechas en 1996 por parte de PG&E y el Departamento de Transportaci¾n de California documentaron la presencia de solventes clorados y otros contaminantes como cloruro de vinilo por la calle Tercera, al sur del sitio. Investigaciones posteriores confirmaron la presencia de solventes clorados y otros contaminantes, entre ellos cloruro de vinilo, en el suelo, en el gas de suelo, y en el agua subterrßnea dentro o cerca del sitio. Algunos de estos solventes clorinados son carcin¾genos humanos. Las muestras que se han tomado indican que el sitio no plantea riesgo a los residentes; sin embargo, se considera que si no se hace nada para remediarlo, existe la posibilidad de que los contaminantes en el sitio causen una amenaza potencial. Es importante comprender que al agua subterrßnea debajo del sitio no se utiliza en la comunidad como agua para beber.
Who is Involved
The Site is being addressed using federal funds. EPA is currently investigating parties that we believe may be responsible. Under the Superfund process, EPA may seek to have any identified PRPs to conduct some or all of the reponse actions at the Site and reimburse EPA for its costs. In some cases where EPA is unable to identify financially viable PRPs, EPA may continue to use federal funds to address contamination at the Site.
El Sitio estß siendo investigado usando fondos federales. Estamos actualmente investigando a los que creemos fueron responsables. Como parte del proceso Superfondo, la EPA pudiera obligar a los que se han identificado como responsables, a completar algunas o todas las obras y medidas correctivas en el sitio y tambiķn obligarles a reembolsar todos los gastos de la EPA. En algunos casos cuando la EPA no pueda identificar financiamiento por PRPs viables, la EPA continuarß su uso de fondos federales para tratar con la contaminaci¾n del sitio.
Initial Actions
EMERGENCY RESPONSE: Concern about environmental conditions at and near the Site arose in June 1995 when utility workers encountered strong chemical odors while digging in the area. Preliminary sampling at the Site and on 3rd Street, south of the Site, indicated the presence of vinyl chloride and other chlorinated solvents in soil, soil gas, and groundwater. We first became aware of the Site in 1996 when the California Department of Toxic Substances Control requested our assistance. We began a preliminary assessment of the contamination by sampling soil gas at the Site and determined that a response to remove the contamination was necessary. Our Emergency Response Program (ERP) moved in quickly to set up a system to remove the contaminants from the groundwater and soil gas (vapors in the soil). In February 1997, we began operating a treatment system to remove vinyl chloride-contaminated groundwater and soil vapors. This treatment system was a dual-phase groundwater and vapor extraction system with a thermal oxidation treatment unit. The system operated until July 1998, when we turned it off in response to community concern over potential exposure to contaminants from the system's exhaust stack. During the installation and operation of the treatment system, we were able to gain additional information about the source and nature of the contamination. Based on this information, we determined that the Site did not pose an immediate threat to the public, but did pose a potential long-term risk.
RESPUESTA DE EMERGENCIA (ERP, seg·n sus siglas en inglķs): Surgieron inquietudes sobre las condiciones medioambientales del sitio cuando unos trabajadores de una empresa de servicio p·blico escarbaban por la zona y se encontraron con olores a fuertes quĒmicos. Se tomaron muestras en el sitio por la calle Tercera, al sur del sitio y se determin¾ la presencia de cloruro de vinilo y otros solventes de clorados en el suelo, en el gas de suelo y en el agua subterrßnea. La primera vez que supimos del sitio fue en 1996 cuando el California Department of Toxic Substances Control (la agencia para el control de sustancias t¾xicas) pidi¾ nuestra ayuda. Comenzamos con una evaluaci¾n preliminar de la contaminaci¾n tomando muestras del gas de suelo del sitio y determinamos que era necesario tomar medidas para remover los contaminantes. Nuestro Programa de Respuesta de Emergencia (ERP, seg·n sus siglas en inglķs) rßpidamente instal¾ un sistema para sacar los contaminantes del agua subterrßnea y gas de suelo (vapores en la tierra). En febrero de 1997, comenzamos la operaci¾n de un sistema de tratamiento para remover el cloruro de vinilo del agua subterrßnea y vapores de suelo. Este sistema de tratamiento es de doble fase para extracci¾n de agua y tierra que consiste de una unidad de extracci¾n con sistema para oxidaci¾n tķrmica. Este sistema oper¾ hasta 1998, lo clausuramos por inquietudes de la comunidad sobre el potencial de contaminaci¾n por el tubo de escape. Durante la instalaci¾n del sistema de tratamiento pudimos entender un poco mßs sobre la raĒz del problema y la raz¾n de la contaminaci¾n. Con esta nueva informaci¾n determinamos que el sitio no representaba una amenaza inmediata al p·blico, pero que sĒ pudiera representar un riesgo a largo plazo.
Initial Actions
To verify that residents near the Site were not at risk from the contamination, we sampled the soil and groundwater at the Site, and the air from the crawlspaces of several adjacent homes. Sampling took place in December 1998, September 1999, and April 2000. High levels of vinyl chloride and other chemicals were found in soil and groundwater at and near the Site. In the September 1999 sampling, very low levels of vinyl chloride were found in crawlspace air at homes next to the Site, and in soil gas at one home. However, vinyl chloride was not found in the crawlspace or soil gas of the homes during previous or later sampling. Based on the available information, we do not believe that the very low levels of vinyl chloride found in 1999 could affect the health of people living in those homes. The findings of these investigations are summarized in detail in a Preliminary Assessment/Site Investigation (PA/SI) report, which can be found at the Site repositories. Additional sampling of groundwater, soil gas, and residential crawlspace air was conducted in August 2002 following the PA/SI. The results of this sampling event, which indicated no detectable levels of vinyl chloride in any of the two crawlspaces or four backyards where soil gas was sampled, are consistent with the results of the previous monitoring events. Sampling activities, referred to as Routine Site Monitoring, will be conducted periodically to verify that nearby residents are not being exposed to contamination. Based on the high levels of contamination in groundwater and soil at the Site, EPA Region 9 recommended in January 2001 that the Site be added to the National Priority List (NPL) of federal Superfund sites. On April 30, 2003 the proposal to list the AMCO Chemical Site on the NPL was published in the Federal Register. This marked the start of a 60-day period for public comment on the proposed listing. Since we did not receive significant objections to the proposed listing, the Site was officially added to the NPL on September 29, 2003.
EVALUACION PRELIMINAR/INFORME DE INSPECCION (PA/SI, seg·n sus siglas en inglķs): Para asegurar que no habĒa riesgos de contaminaci¾n para los residentes cercanos, tomamos muestras del suelo y del agua subterrßnea del sitio y tambiķn de debajo de algunas residencias adyacentes al sitio. Esas muestras se tomaron en diciembre de 1999, y en abril del 2000. Niveles elevados de cloruro de vinilo y otros quĒmicos se descubrieron en el suelo y el agua subterrßnea en y cerca de el sitio. En septiembre de 1999 encontraron niveles bastante bajos de cloruro de vinilo por debajo de las residencias que se encuentran cerca del sitio y en el gas de suelo de una de las casas. Por lo tanto, el cloruro de vinilo no se habĒa descubierto ni en el gas suelo ni por debajo de las casas durante las muestras previas. Por lo que se sabe hasta el momento, no creemos que los bajos niveles de cloruro de vinilo que se descubrieron en 1999 pudieran afectar a personas viviendo en esas casas. El resumen detallado de esas investigaciones estß en el informe del PA/SI del sitio que se pueden encontrar en el depositario de documentos para el sitio. Despuķs del PA/SI, se tomaron muestras del agua subterrßnea, gas de suelo y por debajo de las residencias, en agosto del 2000. Los resultados de esas muestras indicaron niveles poco perceptibles de cloruro de vinilo debajo de dos casas y de las yardas de otras cuatro residencias, igual a los resultados de las muestras anteriores. Estas labores de tomar muestras, llamadas Monitoreo Rutinario del Sitio, se llevarßn a cabo peri¾dicamente para asegurar que los residentes no estķn expuestos a la contaminaci¾n. En enero del 2001, debido a que se descubrieron altos niveles de contaminaci¾n en el agua subterrßnea y el suelo del sitio, la EPA Regi¾n 9 recomend¾ que el sitio se incluyera en la Lista Nacionales de Prioridades (NPL, seg·n sus siglas en inglķs) de sitios federales Superfondo. En abril de 2003 la propuesta de incluir el sitio AMCO Chemical a la NPL se public¾ en el Registro Federal. Desde ese dĒa el p·blico tuvo la oportunidad por 60 dĒas de comentar sobre esa propuesta. Puesto que no hubo quejas sumamente serias para su inclusi¾n a la lista, el sitio oficialmente se incluy¾ en la NPL el 29 de septiembre, 2003.
Site Studies
REMEDIAL INVESTIGATION (RI): The draft report presents the findings of the Remedial Investigation (RI) that was performed at the AMCO Chemical Superfund Site (the Site) from September 2004 to November 2006. Field activities associated with the RI are ongoing, and this report will be updated to include data collected between November 2006 and the completion date of the feasibility study. The RI report will be finalized once the feasibility study is completed.
The purpose of the RI is to characterize the nature and extent of contamination at the Site, and to gather the data necessary for a baseline human health risk assessment (HHRA). The results of the RI and the HHRA will be used to support the feasibility study for the Site and, ultimately, the selection of any remedial actions.
The hydrogeology beneath the Site was studied as part of the RI to help evaluate the fate and transport of the site-related contaminants. The Site is underlain by two unconsolidated aquifers that are separated by a regional aquitard. The results of the RI indicate that groundwater contamination is limited to the upper aquifer. The upper aquifer is composed of fill and native sand and silty sand deposits with thin layers of silt and clay (Merritt Sand), and is approximately 55 to 70 feet thick. The Merritt Sand is underlain by a competent confining layer consisting primarily of lean clay (Older Bay Mud.) The Older Bay Mud is generally 50 to 90 feet thick in the vicinity of the Site. The lower aquifer (Alameda Formation) consists of variable fluvial and marine sediments. Its thickness below the site is unknown.
During the RI, the shallow water table fluctuated from approximately 2.5 to 6.5 feet below ground surface (bgs). In the dry season (May through October), flow generally appears to be toward the southwest; in the wet season (November through April), flow is generally to the south. Gradients are relatively flat in the vicinity of the Site, but are typically steeper north of 3rd Street, ranging from 0.006 to 0.008 feet per foot (ft/ft), and shallower south of 3rd Street, ranging from 0.001 to 0.003 ft/ft. Total dissolved solids (TDS) in groundwater south of 3rd Street generally exceed the Regional Water Quality Control Board's Basin Plan criterion of 3,000 milligrams per liter (mg/L) for drinking water as a beneficial use.
To achieve the objectives of the RI, samples of light non-aqueous-phase liquid (LNAPL), groundwater, soil, soil gas, air, and produce were collected and analyzed in accordance with the 2004 Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) and subsequent modifications. Based on the history of the site and surrounding areas, samples of various media were collected from temporary and/or permanent locations both on and off the former AMCO facility, and were analyzed for some or all of the following: volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs), metals, pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins/furans, cyanide, general chemistry, and physical parameters.
Over 200 individual contaminants were detected in groundwater, soil, soil gas, and air during the RI, with 98 of those identified as contaminants of concern (COCs). The COCs include VOCs (chlorinated and petroleum hydrocarbons), SVOCs, organochlorine pesticides, PCBs, metals, and dioxins/furans.
Key findings of the RI are as follows:
Ę Several feet of LNAPL were observed floating on groundwater beneath the central area of the former AMCO facility. The LNAPL consists primarily of VOCs, including tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE), but also contains SVOCs, pesticides, and dioxins/furans. The LNAPL is serving as the primary continuing source of contamination to groundwater, soil, and soil gas.
Ę The highest concentrations of contaminants in groundwater and soil gas (primarily VOCs) were generally observed in the central and south-central areas of the former AMCO facility, corresponding with the known locations of former chemical storage units and buried distribution piping. However, other distinct areas of elevated contamination concentrations in groundwater and soil gas were observed beneath the large vacant lot on Center Street and beneath the UPRR/Amtrak yard south of the facility, suggesting that separate releases of contaminants have occurred in these areas.
Ę Groundwater contaminant concentrations beneath the central and south-central portions of the former facility decrease rapidly with depth. The concentrations in the deepest monitoring wells at the site are low or below detection levels, indicating that dense non-aqueous-phase liquid (DNAPL) has not migrated below approximately 20 to 30 feet bgs at the site.
Ę The VOCs identified as key contaminants (chlorinated solvents and petroleum hydrocarbons) are undergoing significant biodegradation in groundwater. However, data suggests that the down gradient edge of the VOC plume is expanding despite the naturally occurring biodegradation.
Ę 1,4-Dioxane, a highly mobile and recalcitrant contaminant, has widely migrated in groundwater from the site, and it is expected to continue migrating. Other contaminants mobilized in groundwater are soluble arsenic, iron, and manganese. Other metals, organochlorine pesticides, PCBs, and dioxins/furans generally have limited mobility in the environment, and the extents of these compounds are limited to the immediate vicinities of their historic suspected source areas.
Ę The lateral extent of groundwater contamination in the mid and deeper zones has not been fully delineated to the current screening levels.
Ę Several contaminants in groundwater currently exceed risk criteria for the ingestion pathway; however, groundwater is not currently used nor is it likely to be used in the future as a source of drinking water.
Ę The distributions of contaminants in soil are less centralized and more widespread than in groundwater, suggesting multiple industrial, non-industrial, and non-point sources. Many contaminants in soil, particularly lead, exceed risk criteria for industrial and residential receptors.
Ę Elevated lead concentrations were detected at several residential properties adjacent to or near the former AMCO facility. The concentrations of lead detected in the soil posed an immediate risk to residents, particularly children. A soil removal action to address the lead contamination was performed at all residential parcels occupying the same block as the former AMCO facility.
Ę Several VOCs were detected above screening levels, but within the acceptable risk range in residential soil gas, crawlspace air, and ambient air. No VOC detections exceeded acute reference concentrations, indicating that there is no immediate health threat to residents. The primary source of the VOCs in residential soil gas and air is groundwater, not soil.
Ę At the former AMCO facility and off-facility locations, the concentrations of several contaminants in soil, soil gas, and groundwater would pose an unacceptable risk to site workers. However, the current concrete pavement at the former AMCO facility and off-facility locations provides a protective layer that isolates workers from the contaminated soil, soil gas, and groundwater underneath.
Ę Several VOCs were detected above screening levels, but within the acceptable risk range in crawlspace air samples collected from the facility office. No VOC detections exceeded acute reference concentrations, indicating that there is no immediate health threat to workers.
Ę Concentrations of metals and VOCs in sampled homegrown produce are below levels of concern for ingestion.

For a bunch of things that didn't work, check out How Not To.
First Trick: "Instant Hummingbird Food
My mom makes her own hummingbird food. It's really easy. She pours white sugar into the feeder bottle til it's 1/3 full, then fills it the rest of the way with warm water. Then she shakes it up and hangs it outside. Pretty simple and the hummingbirds love it.. I'd worry about where they get their vitamins, except they're always rushing off somewhere, and don't seem to try to get all they're day's food from the feeder.
You could make your own hummingbird feeder without any trouble. It's just an inverted bottle stuck into a covered dish with some holes in it. The "flowers" don't have to be there, a red dish cover works fine. My mom's other feeder lost its flowers and the birds don't seem to care. That's the unit in the third picture.
Step 1: Instant Bicycle Rear Cargo Rack
I don't usually do instructables that involve welding because someone might not have a welder.
But this rack is so cute I couldn't resist.
If you don't have a welder, flatten the ends of the tubes with a hammer, drill holes in them, and bolt them to your bike frame.
Electric go-kart Cool .
Died laughing so I'm now part of the living dead, but hey I'm still here right!
I was told to break a light bulb and grind the glass until it's fine granules. Mix it up in peanut butter and I guess you can figure out the rest.
First: Metal balls, usually with a flat spot on opposite sides, come primarily in primers and very small cans. They rust, yes, but only after having been exposed to the air. While in the pressurized can, full of paint which would solidify if it was exposed to air, they are fine.
Second: You normally get only one marble, some cans have two. I have never found a certain brand that always has two.
Third: Yes, they can be dangerous but you can open, semi-safely, a full can. They can fly out of your hand though as they act like a large, angry, directionless, heavy bottle rocket. The can doesn't explode though. It is unnecessary to spray out the remaining pressure, but you can if it makes you feel safer.
Lastly (fourth): Yes, they are glass marbles. They seem like marble "seconds" as they are usually not totally spherical and some have grooves in the glass. I have found very few opaque marbles which were not black. Many have bubbles throughout them. Blue is the most prevalent color.
I made a special tool out of a piece of 1.5" angle iron that I use to open the cans and extract the marbles. It is also beneficial to have a pan of paint thinner or stripper to drop the marbles into upon their birth into air as it is awfully hard to remove the paint once it has dried.
On a personal note. It always disturbed me that there were no other people who collected the marbles from spray paint cans. It is nice to see that there are at least a few people with the interest.
They're on the front porch in the sun, and hope it doesn't take more than a day or two.
Thanks for the idea.
Unfortunately, it's much harder to build an electronic speed control for DC -- the simplest way is to use a whale of a variable resistor in circuit, but then you have to throw away the waste heat somewhere. The next simplest is to use a DC motor and AC generator (alternator, for instance), with a variac to control the voltage that then gets fed to a rectifier that powers you drive motor. The problem with this is that the motor and generator in the converter have to be about as big as the drive motor, or they burn up. What's actually used in most modern electric vehicles is a "chopper" control -- it's got a huge, well cooled transistor of one sort or another that's turned on and off very rapidly, and the ratio of "on" to "off" is varied to control the motor speed. Small ones are cheap and come on a single chip; big ones are expensive and can be complicated to wire up -- and a go cart like this one is getting into the "large" category.
Plus he got them too big so he could wear them over normal clothes, and they didn't damage his normal clothes (at least not enough that he cared about it).

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Went down to the park today to get some putting practice in as warmup and then play a round afterwards. When I went back to my car to grab my bag, I found that someone had busted out my window and grabbed it. Filed the police report and everything, but I'm moving from Montana to Louisiana on Thursday (in less than 3 days) and I was hoping maybe one of you could help me...
If anyone out there is from the Northwest Montana area, please keep an eye out for these discs. I've posted a picture of my discs. Most all of the discs in this pic were in my car and are all now missing. As you can see, every single one has a unique dye design I put on them myself. I've spent the entire season breaking these discs into near perfect form, and everyone has my email address written on the underside.
I highly doubt I'll get these back, but there were other valuables in the car which the thief didn't take, so I can only assume he plays disc golf too. Unless there is some black market for personalized discs which I am unaware of, or something.
I'm trying to stay level headed about this, but half the reason I decided to move to the south was so that I could play DG over the winter, and now all I have to take with me is 3 freakin' putters and no bag. I won't be able to replace them quickly either, seeing as how I'm already on a pretty tight budget and I don't exactly have a guaranteed form of employment in LA yet, either.
Anyway, to all you Montana DG'ers out there, please keep en eye out if you can. Don't confront them personally or anything, I'd hate to see someone get hurt. (People who throw rocks through windows probably aren't themost stable people). But, if you can get a name from them or any kind of information I'll report it to the police and they can safely proceed.

I've been to Disneyland hundreds of times over the last two decades and have been writing the Funland theme park blog for about four years now. As a result, people are always asking me how to do everything at Disneyland in a single day.
The short answer is you probably can't. It can be a struggle for even hard-core fans with military assault-like strategies. The longer answer is there's lots of ways to maximize your time in the park and get on the most rides possible.
PHOTOS: How to do Disneyland in a day
So in honor of Disneyland's 24-hour Leap Day celebration, here are my seven tips for tackling Disneyland in a day:
Tip 1: If you're trying to get the most out of your day at Disneyland, I always recommend arriving just before the park opens in the morning, staying until the park closes at night and taking a long break in the heat of the afternoon at your hotel pool or cocktail bar. It may sound like a long day, but you'll get more done in the first two hours and the last two hours of your day than if you spent 15 hours straight at the park.
And I'm dead serious about the afternoon break. I'd say get out of the park from 1 to 4 p.m. Let the kids play in the pool while you recline in a lounge chair, munch on inexpensive supermarket snacks and sip a cocktail. Trust me, your feet, brain and nerves will thank me. The time you "waste" not being in the park during the hottest and busiest part of the day will be rewarded tenfold when you jump on 10 rides in the early morning and 10 more in the late evening. And, no, it doesn't count as a "break" to eat lunch in the park, watch a parade and take a ride on the riverboat, monorail or train (although those are better alternatives than standing in back-to-back two-hour lines for Star Tours and Indiana Jones while you wither in the sun).
Now, before we talk about a specific strategy for tackling the rides, we need to go over your two best friends in the park: the ride board and the FastPass system.
Tip 2: I have a rule of thumb that I won't wait more than 20 minutes for any ride. For you, I'd try to keep your wait times under 30 minutes.
That's where the ride board comes in. Just off the main hub near the castle you'll find an attendant who keeps a running tally of the wait times for all the big rides. You should stop by here every chance you get. There are, of course, smartphone apps that do the same thing, but the ride board is still indispensable. Use it to avoid hour-plus lines and find short waits.
Tip 3: I'll assume you understand the basic premise of the FastPass line-cutting system. What you need to know is how to game the system. When you're issued a FastPass, you get a window of time to return (say between 9:30 and 10:30 a.m.). But only the first time matters. You can come back any time after your window opens, right up until park closing. What's important to understand about the line-cutting system is you can get only one FastPass at a time. But what's equally important to know (and exploit) is that you can get another FastPass as soon as the window opens on your previous FastPass.
So let's say you get a FastPass for Star Tours at 9:30. You can go get another FastPass for Space Mountain at 9:31 (and you should). Then, if the FastPass for Space Mountain is for 11:20 a.m., you can get a FastPass for Splash Mountain starting at 11:21 a.m. And don't wait an hour or two to get the next FastPass. Get it right when your window opens.
Keep gathering FastPasses until you've got all of the top rides covered. I'd recommend, in order, Star Tours, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain and Indiana Jones Adventure. Those are by far the busiest rides in the park.
Whatever you do, don't get FastPasses for Haunted Mansion or Big Thunder Mountain. You don't need them and you'll just burn a window unnecessarily. And I'd personally skip Autopia and Roger Rabbit's Car-Toon Spin. But that's just me. It's up to you to decide what you want to ride the most and set your strategy accordingly.
You should have all your FastPasses in hand before you take your afternoon break. And here's the important part: Don't use your FastPasses until you look at the ride board and see that every ride in the park has a 45-minute-plus wait. That's when you strike, skipping to the front of the most popular rides.
If Disneyland should ever start enforcing the closing times on the FastPass windows (as has been rumored), you'll just have to adjust your strategy accordingly.
Tip 4: Now let's break down the rest of the bigger rides into a few strategic categories.
Several are what we call people eaters. They never have big lines. And if they do, you should avoid them at all costs. Because they are guaranteed to have only a 10-minute wait sometime later in the day. Hit these rides when everything else in the park is off the charts and only if the line is under 15 minutes. They include: Big Thunder Mountain, Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, It's a Small World and Pirates of the Caribbean.
Next up is a set of rides that can swell to 45-minute-plus lines at times, then quickly drop to walk-on status. You'll want to hit these rides when the tide ebbs: Matterhorn, Buzz Lightyear, Snow White, Mr. Toad, Pinocchio and the Tiki Room.
Similarly, these rides tend to have longer lines that move quickly: Dumbo, Tea Cups, Winnie the Pooh and the carousel. Use your judgment, but don't be discouraged by bigger crowds at these smaller rides.

Pastor Maldonado is confident Lotus' woes are behind them and he expects a strong finish to this year's Championship.
Hampered by a decision to miss the first pre-season test, issues with their Renault engine and a generally under-performing car, Lotus have failed to match last season's form.
Instead of battling for podium finishes, the team is scrapping just to get close to the top-ten.
Lotus have only bagged eight points this season, none of which have come from Maldonado.
The Venezuelan driver, though, is expecting better than Formula 1 returns next weekend with the Belgian GP.
"It has been a very hard season and one in which there have been lots of issues," he admitted.
"But now that is behind us and we have to believe that we can get some points on the board and complete the season strongly. That way it will give some good momentum to start afresh in 2015 with a whole new exciting package.
"It would be difficult to give a clear aim other than improvement and fighting for points every race.
"We have seen flashes of big promise from the E22. If everything is running right and the team continues to push then we can get more points for sure. As a team we will stay together with a clear mission to achieve the maximum.
"If we can have a clean weekend technically, without any power unit or other issues, then we will be in a good position to challenge for points."
Looking ahead to the Belgian GP, Maldonado says a better showing in qualifying could yield the points he's been chasing.
"Spa always throws up some variables with the weather being the obvious one. It would be nice to be higher up than the last few races.
"If we can achieve this and we have a good package then I believe we can come away with something very positive from Belgium."

Big Bar Mat
- 12"x18" bar mat size
- Heavy and firm rubber
- Deep grooves/wells to stop spills from draining along table tops
- Easy cleaning
The big bar mat serves to both contain spills when serving and preparing drinks from pouring a beer, building a cocktail or even pouring a glass of soda. The bar mat is designed to catch those spills, contain the spills and be easy to wash after you're finished. Great for preparing garnishes and sticky syrups and avoid creating a mess around the table, home bar or elsewhere.
Practical enough to roll up, toss in a bag and bring over friends and family for making drinks at remote locations as well.

Container gardening is an easy way to garden, especially when you lack yard space. Here are our recommendations on which vegetable varieties are container-friendly—and which container types are most suitable for each veggie.
For supplies, you only need a good container, the right soil mix, and appropriate seed (or transplant) varieties. In addition to providing 5 hours or more of full sun, watering is critical. You may need to water daily or twice daily; in hot weather the soil can dry out quickly. The good news: less weeding! Containers are generally low-maintenance.
Beans, snap
Container: 5-gallon window box
Varieties: Bush 'Blue Lake', Bush 'Romano', 'Tender Crop'
Container: 1 plant/5 gallon pot, 3 plants/15-gallon tub
Varieties: 'DeCicco', 'Green Comet'
Container: 5-gallon window box at least 12 inches deep
Varieties: 'Danvers Half Long', 'Short 'n Sweet', 'Tiny Sweet'
Container: 1 plant/1-gallon pot
Varieties: 'Patio Pik', 'Pot Luck', 'Spacemaster'
Container: 5-gallon pot
Varieties: 'Black Beauty', 'Ichiban', 'Slim Jim'
Container: 5-gallon window box
Varieties: 'Ruby', 'Salad Bowl'
Container: 5-gallon window box
Varieties: 'White Sweet Spanish', 'Yellow Sweet Spanish'
Container: 1 plant/2-gallon pot, 5 plants/15-gallon tub
Varieties: 'Cayenne', 'Long Red', 'Sweet Banana', 'Wonder', 'Yolo'
Container: 5-gallon window box
Varieties: 'Cherry Belle', 'Icicle'
Container: Bushel basket
Varieties: 'Early Girl', 'Patio', 'Small Fry', 'Sweet 100', 'Tiny Tim'
Tips for Growing in Containers
- Clay pots are usually more attractive than plastic ones, but plastic pots retain moisture better. To get the best of both, slip a plastic pot into a slightly larger clay pot.
- Avoid small containers. They often can't store enough water to get through hot days.
- Add about 1 inch of course gravel in the bottom of the container to improve drainage.
- Vegetables that can be easily transplanted are best suited for containers. Transplants can be purchased from local nurseries or started at home.
- Feed container plants at least twice a month with liquid fertilizer, following the instructions on the label.
- An occasional application of fish emulsion or compost will add trace elements to container soil.
- Place containers where they will receive maximum sunlight and good ventilation. Watch for and control insect pests.
See our individual Vegetable Plant pages for advice on growing your most common vegetables.

Since 1927, The University of North Carolina has played
its football at the amazing Kenan Stadium, one of America's most beautiful
sporting venues. Set amidst the tall Carolina Pines on the Chapel Hill
campus, there's nothing else on earth like Saturday afternoon at a Tar
Heels game! On a beautiful afternoon like this, with the sun shining, the
Tar Heels winning, and the stands packed with fanatics in Tar Heel Blue,
this is football heaven.
This spectacular panoramic poster features game day on
campus, in all its glory, and as you pan across the image, you feel like
you are actually there. You can see the scoreboard and the old buildings
behind the East end zone, the players on the sideline and on the field
inside Kenan's unique surrounding hedge, the cheerleaders, and many of
the commemorative signs on the upper deck facade, including retired numbers
for Kelvin Bryant, Amos Lawrence, Harris Barton, and the legendary Lawrence
Taylor. If you've been to Kenan Stadium for a game, or even if you're an
armchair fan, you'll love this piece - just looking at it makes you feel
like you're there on gameday, cheering on the Tar Heels at the top of your
lungs. Worthy of a nice frame and a central location on your sports wall-of-fame!

Goals: Bumper rockets were the first two-stage rockets -- a German V-2 missile coupled with an American-made WAC Corporal. They were designed to test high altitude rocket systems and study Earth's upper atmosphere.
Accomplishments: Bumper rockets were the first human-made objects to cross the boundary into outer space, although they did not orbit the Earth like Sputnik 1 (the first true spacecraft). The rocket's upper stages were able to reach then-record altitudes of up to 399 kilometers (248 miles), higher than even modern space shuttles fly. The rockets' small science payloads also sent back information on air temperatures and cosmic ray impacts.

Yeah. I found them. They are kinda expensive if you are taking 4 a day. 120 for $17.
I don't know if this one is any good but it's half the price
here but it's $45.99 but over $100 gets me free shipping. I will have to look on Amazon and see which would be cheaper all together.
And if you go with the Gold Standard, I recommend the Cake Batter or Double Rich Chocolate flavor.
Yeah I am looking there now. I had figured I would get the double rich chocolate.
Before you waste your money Wevie, at least order the samples here first.
5 samples with shipping is like 7$. But at least you wont end up wasting your cash on any other protein. It begins and ends there.
Lip Balm?
Here's the sample linky:
Try one of each:
Trutein: Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cup
Trutein: Chocolate-Covered Banana
Trutein: Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry
Trutein: Milk Chocolate
Trutein: Vanilla
I will try out some of those samples for sure. How much is in a sample? One scoop I am guessing?
big hugeness sale today only - if you're a fan of or ever wanted to try xf up 2.0 protein, now's the time - ask jcane about the cinnamon roll - outstanding! - and their new lemon cream pie flavor is just as good

Gallery: Amazing Skyscraper Farm for Vancouver
Vertical farms are one of our favorite future-forward concepts for creating sustainable cities. Providing locally-grown produce and food will not only help us reduce our carbon emissions significantly, but also help us become healthier. Romses Architects recently came up with an amazing concept for a vertical farm in Vancouver as part of the City's 2030 Challenge. Complete with a tower for growing fruits and vegetables, a livestock grazing plane, a boutique dairy farm, commercial space, transit lines, renewable energy and more, the Harvest Green Tower has the potential to be a food growing, energy producing, living, breathing sustainable transit hub.
The City of Vancouver has ambitious plans to become the most sustainable city in the world. This spring they held the FormShift Vancouver Competition to develop and improve the city's livability through greener, denser developments. The Harvest Green Tower received an honorable mention in the Primary category for a mixed use primary (arterial) site along a major Vancouver street that includes a rapid transit station. Their vertical farm concept is centered around sustainable food production as well as the creation of a multi-purpose space that can house, transport, feed and entertain people.
The tower consists of interlocking tubes that grow various fruits and vegetables, house chickens and contain an aquaponic fish farm. On top of the vertical growing tower is a rainwater cistern to collect and help water all the plants and animals. At the base of the tower is a livestock grazing plain, as well as a bird habitat and boutique sheep and goat dairy facility. Underneath that is a grocery store, farmer's market and Harvest Tower Restaurant. Renewable energy is produced from rooftop mounted wind turbines and photovoltaic glazing on the building with the additional help of geothermal heat pumps and methane generation from composting.
Not only would the tower produce local, organic food, but it would also support people with live/work units off to the side of the tower, an educational center, and a seed lab. The base of the tower features a transit hub along with an underground parking lot and shared car co-op. The tower would play an important role in the production of locally grown foods, provide urban employment opportunities and contribute sustainable density to Vancouver.

i don't fancy the idea of living with chickens & livestock and the smell they create.

I think there needs to be a greater understanding in the designers' part regarding the way these plants can be grown with agricultural systems that work hand-in-hand with the building's mechanical systems. Most of these vertical farm designs are still conceptual and would require enormous investments. That being said, I really enjoy looking at these designs online, but I just want to see more diagrams of the agri-building systems working together. Something more than "this is where the black water gets recycled and this shaft carries grey water." I applaud these designers for their efforts nonetheless, it will help future vertical farm architects with real projects.

Why aren\'t the wind turbines on the top of the tower? There\'s a reason why wind turbines are on towers — there really is more and better (less turbulent) wind up there.

Is the warming of our planet a legitimate issue?
Let me first start this out by saying I don't know much about the whole global warming concern aside from the obvious, so I don't believe one side over the other.
My debate stems from something I saw online yesterday and thought it was somewhat interesting (at least for me): Is climate change an issue we will look back on with regret 10, or even 20 years from now? An issue that is bigger than our own national debt?
Again, no right or wrong answer, but is this our biggest issue right now that is being ignored?
Feb 8 2013: It is an issue but I don't believe it is because of global population.
Unless you are speaking about the two most destructive populations.
The population of pollution and the pollution of populations of all forms of life.
Other than that, it was, is, and still remains to this day, the mismanagement of the world's resources, by allowing
corporations, countries or even individuals to "own" something that is and should be "un-ownable" by anyone.
If there was a Garden, earth was it. And it has been mismanaged. There is enough for all and was from the very beginning and it was all free, free for all as opposed to a "free-for-all" war.
Climate is not responsible for thirst as a main culprit. It is mismanagement for money, profit and power over others.
There are other issues that are involved merely to cloud the issue and keep people at odds with one another, fighting, killing, resource wars, pollution for profit and so on.
A bigger and more important cause is politics and politicians.
They haven't, don't and won't solve our problems because they don't intend to. Their power rides at the top of the
fraudulent and failure-by-default monetary system, which cares nothing for economy - don't waste, spend frugally
use wisely, save and share.
Truth is the worlds resources belong to everyone and every form of life there is, and there was enough. There still is
Mismanagement and fear-mongering keep telling us there isn't, so those that have will continue to fuck those who don't out of false fear.Feb 8 2013: I would like to think that it's just a cycle that we're going through, but I think there is plenty of evidence in the atmosphere that we are contributing to the cause of this warm weather. With that said, I think it is a very big issue, if our ice caps completely melt like they say they will, I think that could be very bad for anything located on the coast. Such as homes and businesses.Feb 11 2013: Each side claims that theirs are the true facts. About a year ago a ice core sample from deep below the polar cap that was stated to be a representative sample of thousands of years ago showed a change of less than one degree variance.
I would be more impressed if groups focused on one cause at a time and presented logical / rational change and supported that with valid research and projections. People doing their Chicken Little impressions do not usually impress me. On a personal level ... having Al Gore as their spokesperson made me have deep doubts that either the event or the cause leaders are serious. With all of the money donated to the cause over the years .. I would expect more than I have seen. It would be interesting to see how the money is being spent.
TED community members are super liberal and will dominate this discussion with the claim that we are all doomed. That is their right. I however, have not seen any "proof" from one side that has not been refuted by the other side. Until then I must remain neutral.
I do concede that we are doing some pretty stupid things that do not need a rocket scientest to explain how wrong they are.
I wish you well. Bob.

It is legitimate.
No body wants to take the risk of self-extinction.
Moreover, to reduce some of the harmful INVALID (ineffective, untrue, unreal) happiness is more than enough to solve this problem.
(For INVALID (ineffective) happiness and OPTIMAL POINT, see the 1st article, points 1-3, 10, 14, at https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D&id=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D%21283&sc=documents)
.Feb 9 2013: Warming of planet or Global warming and Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) is a peer reviewed researched, evidence based and established fact. Except a minority, scientific community is heavily inclined towards its validation.
However, whether it is an issue bigger than, say national debt in your country or corruption in mine is a subjective debate. It's like watching a forest fire at the distance and judging if the wooden horse in your back yard is going to be burnt by the end of the day.Feb 8 2013: Firstly, if you haven't already seen this you should, Secondly, check out "Cool It", Bjorn's book and film, well worth the investment and time…..
Gail .
Feb 8 2013: Regardless of the cause, this is a GIANT issue. Why? Because the global population has already exceeded our ability to sustain it. Combine that with the fiscal model that is now the norm for most of the globe, and you have mega corporations polluting the atmosphere - making what might have occurred naturally, intensify unnecessarily. Then you have mega farming corps destroying arable farmland each year through bad farming practices. They also pollute essential aquifers with their non-organic farming methods. Then there are the oil companies who use fracking that turns people's faucets into blow torches - more destroyed potable water. Now add burgeoning population to the mix.
- 0
Right now, climate is responsible for hunger and thirst in parts of Africa and Asia, but it will not be long before the hunger hits the most powerful nations (US, UK, etc). As droughts destroy wheat fields and corn fields, (and as corn is used for fuel rather than food because it's price is better sustained that way), and as automation is destroying jobs daily, there will soon be no one with the ability to consume, and those farmers who still produce will not be able to afford to get their crops to market. (This happened in the Great Depression)
It's not that climate change is more important than the national debt. It is that our fiscal paradigm is as much a threat to humanity's survival as climate change is. And they, along with the population boom, are a perfect storm. It's not the national debt that needs fixing. It is our monetary policy that rewards destruction of humankind's essential needs - clean air and water. We have passed the point of no return already. Now its just a matter of time.Feb 8 2013: Maybe we are questioning the survival of the modern world or more scary the survival of mankind himself.

Our new favorite clam chowder. Photo by Daniel Norman | IST.
Product Reviews / Main Nibbles / Fish, Seafood & Caviar
Bar Harbor Seafood
Page 2: Gourmet Canned Seafood & Newburg Sauce
Canned clams, mussels and lobster meat are the best of their kind. If you use canned seafood for chowder, lobster rolls, pasta dishes, sauces and soups, we can recommend them. The meat is tender, and the packing liquid so delicious, we drank it all.
We personally only cook with fresh seafood, and there's a world of difference in flavor. We were, however, enamored by the can of lobster meat: two small claws and assorted bits of meat. We made lobster mashed potatoes for two, mashing the bits in with the potatoes and inserting the claws as plumes in the top of each mound. It was impressive!
Lobster Newburg and Maine lobster meat. Photo by Constance DeSwaan | THE NIBBLE.
This is the only shelf-stable (non-refrigerated) Maine lobster in the U.S. However delighted we were to receive this as a gift, for $19.95, it isn't a lot of lobster meat. If money is no issue in your home, load up! In our home, we need to stretch our lobster dollar, so we look for bargains in fresh or frozen tails, which are closer to fresh lobster flavor.
The Newburg Sauce was the least interesting of the products to us, because it is made with canola oil and milk—not the cream we'd use to make our own Newburg Sauce. While the label indicates sherry as an ingredient, it's not discernable—it needs to be added at the end, right before taking the sauce of the stove, or the flavor will cook out. We really want to taste the sherry in our Newburg Sauce, not just a hint, so we found ourselves adding 1/4 cup of sherry to the 10-ounce can to get it to our satisfaction (plus several grinds of fresh nutmeg). That's not a complaint—it's to be expected with a canned product; our problem was that the canola oil couldn't deliver the kind of richness that our own cream-and-egg Newburg Sauce recipe does.
Still, people who don't want to invest the time making a Newburg Sauce from scratch can use this for a base. We used it to create "Eggs Newburg," an easy and impressive brunch dish with poached eggs atop poached salmon. You can use smoked salmon on an English muffin as well.
The classic breakfast favorite, Eggs Benedict, consists of an English muffin topped with Canadian bacon, a poached egg and hollandaise sauce. Some historians suggest that the dish may be a traditional French dish, œufs bénédictine; but here is the real history of Eggs Benedict.
In this recipe, a brandade (a purée of salt cod and potatoes) is spread on triangles of fried bread, topped with a poached egg and sauced with hollandaise. Eggs Newburg, a further evolution of both concepts, was developed in THE NIBBLE kitchen.
This was a welcome change from Eggs Benedict, and much easier than making hollandaise sauce from scratch.
But for a truly exquisite Newburg Sauce for dinner, you have to do it the hard way, starting with a white sauce (cream sauce). Add an egg yolk, sherry, brandy, nutmeg and cayenne. You'll see many variations of Newburg Sauce that include minced onions, tomato paste, thyme and other ingredients, but this is the classic.

Adapting Assertive Community Treatment to Serve Teenagers: Conversations with Jana Frey, Ph.D. and Judith Bradshaw-RouseFrom the NAMI Advocate, Summer 2001, p. 37.
Several years ago the original Program of Assertive Community Treatment (PACT) in Madison began working with individuals as young as 15 rather than requiring people to be at least 18 years old before they could take part in PACT. Mental illness treatment programs for adults generally only serve people 18 or older.
NAMI: Why is PACT now serving people younger than 18?
Dr. Frey: We saw that most of our referrals were of 18 to 21 year olds. Several times we felt that if we could have provided services earlier we would have helped them stay in high school, prevented worsening of psychiatric symptoms, avoided homelessness and trauma. Since severe mental illnesses often begin much younger than 18, it makes sense to provide help earlier. We know individuals, with schizophrenia for example, who are going to be getting services from the adult system and may use mental health services for many years. By starting earlier we can help them better prepare for adulthood, especially in the rehabilitation areas of school and work.
NAMI: How have you adapted assertive community treatment for teens?
Dr. Frey: We do a tremendous amount of work with schools and provide more education and support to families. More systems (schools, juvenile justice, social services) are involved and we spend more time coordinating with them. An advantage of ACT is that while working with all other systems involved, we assume responsibility for providing and coordinating the person's overall care. With a single agency being clearly accountable, care is less fragmented.
NAMI: How do you work with the schools?
Dr. Frey: School systems often don't recognize or understand mental illnesses. The school may think that a symptom of the mental illness is under the child's control when it is not. We work with the school to build consensus. We provide clinical problem solving to reduce conflict and distress to help the child remain in school.
NAMI: What other adaptations have you made in assertive community treatment?
Dr. Frey: We provide more structured time with staff and peers. During the summer when school is out we hired a teacher for tutoring and graduate students as recreational staff to mentor teens and encourage social opportunities.
NAMI: How do you support families?
Dr. Frey: We try to help the young person remain with their family, if possible. We meet with the family frequently, educating about what is mental illness and what is expected behavior. We help the family to provide feedback and set limits. We want to enable the teen to be at home. We help the family solve problems on issues such as chores and homework to reduce conflict. With the PACT team available every day, we can be responsive to the family.
NAMI: Is substance abuse a problem?
Dr. Frey: Less so than with the adults we serve. PACT services may lessen the likelihood of kids being on the fringe at school and getting into a group that uses drugs.
NAMI: How will you measure success with kids?
Dr. Frey: We're collecting information on academic achievement, such as completing high school; juvenile justice involvement; hospitalization; living situation, including remaining at home with their family. Sometimes for older teens, living in their own apartment with substantial oversight and support from the team and the family works well too. We're now serving 17 people under 18 and are seeing improvement is these areas.
NAMI: Will more ACT teams start serving people under 18?
Dr. Frey: If an assertive community treatment team has mastered the ACT approach, it makes perfect sense to intervene earlier to maximize the benefits of individualized, rehabilitation oriented care.
Dr. Frey is Director of the Program of Assertive Community Treatment at Mendota Mental Health Institute in Madison, Wisconsin. Ms. Rouse is the parent of a son who began receiving PACT services at age 16.
