Sebastian Vettel insists it is still too early to start thinking about the Championship despite extending his lead in Canada...
Sebastian Vettel insists it is still too early to start thinking about the Championship despite extending his lead in Canada.
Starting from pole position for the third time in Montreal, Vettel finally broke his North American duck as he raced to a dominant victory over Fernando Alonso.
His 25 points ensured Vettel's advantage in the Drivers' Championship climbed to 36 points ahead of Alonso while Kimi Raikkonen is a further eight off the pace.
The reigning World Champion, though, is refusing to get carried away, acknowledging that it's not even halfway through the season.
"I was in a different position last year at this time, and I was able to catch up quite a lot towards the end. I had very strong races," said the 25-year-old.
"Fernando was a little bit unlucky here and there and we were able to come back and beat him.
"But this was 10 races from where we are now. There are so many things that can happen at any stage of the Championship.
"Right now I'm happy to stand on the grid, focus on the race, trying to win. We will see later on if we are still in a strong position."
The Red Bull racer was also happy to tick off Canada as a venue where he has now tasted the victory champagne.
"Finally I can tick this one off the list, so I am very proud of that.
"We've had good races here before, but it didn't come together to win, particularly two years ago when I was very close, only to lose it on the last lap. It was my mistake, but I made up for that."
Meanwhile, team boss Christian Horner has warned Vettel's rivals that the German is only going to get better and better.
"He is continuing to get stronger, continuing to get better," he told Autosport.
"He is a very focused and determined young man, and has achieved a huge amount in his career.
"But the impressive thing about him is how much desire he has to continue to improve himself. He obviously wants to achieve as much as he can."

Main Document
Stellar Blackbody Radiation Curves
written by
Mario Belloni
Stellar Blackbody Radiation Curves model simulates the blackbody radiation curve of stars and how this leads to the observed color and luminosity of the star. If a star can be treated as a blackbody, the blackbody radiation curve of the star, the power density per area (or intensity) per wavelength (energy/time/volume) vs wavelength, is dependent on the star's temperature (spectral class).
In the simulation, the star is shown along with its luminosity and spectral class. In separate graph, the blackbody radiation curve, the visible part of the spectrum, and the integrated stellar surface intensity (integrating the blackbody curve over all wavelengths) are shown. In another window the HR diagram can be shown indicating the current star's parameters. The radius of the star (in Rsun) and the temperature of the star in Kelvin (5780 K is Tsun) can be changed.

We Love Bali!
4 June 2013
Categories : Travelings - Culture and Heritage - Sightseeing
Pura Ulun Danu Bratan I have skeptical feeling when I planned the family trip to Bali. Although those were many years ago, the 2002 and 2005 terrorists' attack on the island are something many people still talk and worry about. But all these fear dissipated when we visited the island. The captivating scenery, friendly people, unique temples and good food have made us forgot Bali's sorrow past. We never regret that we have visited...

Recipe by aeth79
"This is a simple make-your-own taco salad. Both my kids, ages six and two, LOVE this! I have made this both with two boneless chicken breasts and beef. Both are a great hit and so easy. I have also used this for Super Bowl party... they LOVED it!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 pounds
ground beef chuck
2 envelopes
taco seasoning mix
1 1/2 cups
onion, chopped
2 cups
green leaf lettuce, shredded
1 cup
cherry tomatoes, halved
2 cups
shredded Cheddar/Monterey Jack cheese blend
1/2 cup
chopped black olives
2 cups
jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
1 cup
sour cream
1 (10.5 ounce) bag
corn chips (such as Fritos®)
I used a homemade taco seasoning mix and V-8 instead of water in the taco meat and homemade salsa and reduced fat sour cream for the salad. This was great for us because each of us could make our salad the way we want it and it's a nice change up from your typical taco night. I made mexican rice and refried beans to go with.
The taste is fantastic. I use low sodium taco seasoning, unsalted chips and half the black olives.

Ahhh, someone after my own heart! Have done this since I moved away from home four decades ago with leftovers from Build Your Own Taco meals. Many who I serve to don't like taco seasoning so opt to use plain ground meat instead. Besides ground beef or chicken try pork because it's tasty too. And simply 'must' add diced avocado that has been tossed in lemon or lime juice and some fresh chopped cilantro to the ingredient list too
I love having 'assemble your own taco salads' for dinner! It puts less work on me trying to remember who likes what, and I find that my little guy (or any kids for that matter) will eat more if he makes it the way he wants it. Super simple and fun! :)
I have been making this for many years now, but instead of using corn chips, I make taco shell bowls out of burrito sized flour tortillas and serve it with taco sauce on the side like a salad dressing. Just use oven safe small bowls (soup size works best), invert them on a cookie sheet (only 4 will fit each sheet), spray them very lightly with oil and place a tortilla over each bowl. Bake at 350 degrees for about 8 - 10 minutes. Let cool for about 2 minutes then remove the shell from the bowl and continue to cool a few more minutes on a rack. The tortillas will take on the shape of the inverted bowl while baking. They are light and crispy and I think taste much better than corn chips.
This recipe is absolutely delicious! Tried it tonight, and I love it. My wife loves it, and grown-up kids and their families love it, too. I had forgotten all about this recipe over the years. Thank you for posting it.
I love this for its ease and taste! The Ground Round restaurant used to make one just like this and serve it in a giant edible shell.Wonder if I can find a recipe for those.
This is a wonderful build it like you like it dinner. I made this for just us, but it would be easy to scale for a large crowd and great for a party food. As it is it's the perfect summer night dinner when you don't want to heat up the kitchen cooking a lot and don't want a heavy hot meal. I used tortilla chips and didn't have shredded cheese so I just used a can of condensed spicy cheese soup heated up. I did top my salad with some homemade guacamole as well. This is easy to customize to what you have on hand and suit to personal preferences. Great summer recipe!

Deep Space Chronicle: A Chronology of Deep Space and Planetary Probes 1958-2000, Monographs in Aerospace History No. 24, by Asif A. Siddiqi
National Space Science Data Center, http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/
Mars Climate Orbiter was the second probe in NASA's Mars Surveyor program, which also included Mars Global Surveyor (launched in November 1996) and Mars Polar Lander (launched in January 1999).
Mars Climate Orbiter was designed to arrive at roughly the same time as Mars Polar Lander and conduct simultaneous investigations of Mars's atmosphere, climate and surface. Mars Climate Orbiter was also designed to serve as a communications relay for the latter.
After the lander's three-month mission, MCO would have performed a two-year independent mission to monitor atmospheric dust and water vapor and take daily pictures of the planet's surface to construct an evolutionary map of climatic changes. Scientists hoped that such information would aid in reconstructing Mars' climatic history and provide evidence of buried water reserves.
The spacecraft was scheduled to arrive in Mars orbit on 23 September 1999 and attain its operational near-circular sun-synchronous orbit at 421 km by 1 December 1999. After the end of its main mapping mission on 15 January 2001, Mars Climate Orbiter would have acted as a communications relay for future NASA missions to Mars.
After launch, the spacecraft performed four midcourse corrections on 21 December 1998, 4 March, 25 July, and 15 September 1999. At 09:01 UT (received time) on 23 September 1999, the orbiter began its Mars orbit insertion burn as planned. The spacecraft was scheduled to reestablish contact after passing behind Mars, but no further signals were received from the spacecraft.
An investigation indicated that the failure resulted from a navigational error due to commands from Earth being sent in English units without being converted into the metric standard. The error caused the orbiter to miss its intended 140- to 150-km altitude orbit and instead fall into the Martian atmosphere at approximately 57 km altitude and burn up.

Step 1: Basic Box
Now that I know, I'm looking for a project that needs one.
"It is better to have a tool and not need it, than it is to need a tool and not have it." Yes, I identify with that.
One of my favorite tinkerer's quotes is "It is better to have a tool and not need it, than it is to need a tool and not have it."
Thanks for the info on the vacuum former. I always appreciate being educated; especially if done in a kind and humerus way.
I would have liked to see the articles that the plastic mould (Oz spelling ☺) was formed from.
Also some other things you may have done with these types of units.
I use to work next door to an importer back in 1972, they would import cheap stuff from Taiwan etc, take the labels of the article , place them on their own cardboard approx. 60cm x 60cm printed to make approx. 60 packs .
They placed 60 items on the cardboard evenly spaced, slid it on a table that had sheet of clear Plastic suspended above the Cardboard, above that there was a heater that was 60 x 60cm made up of a wire mesh.
The Heater would turn on get hot , soften the plastic and it would drop down over the 60 x 60 cardboard and seal on to the Cardboard and create Bubble Packs
** Couldn't you use the same type of heating.. IE : Have the Vacuum frame already positioned with the Vacuum cleaner already connected , but not switched on ,
With something similar to your heat source or maybe 1 or 2 Bar heaters mounted on a Frame just above the the Plastic.
As soon as the plastic gets to the heat required,... Turn off the Heat, Turn on the Suction.
That way there is no need for the separate box and no need to carry from one to the other.
I have never seen this type of vacuum moulding before , but it reminded me of 1972.... anyhow that was Just a thought ,
Well done .
As for wiring; I wonder how 12 gauge stranded wiring would work, as opposed to solid core (stranded will carry more current than solid core, thus lowering the amp load) in place of the 14 gauge you have now. I would think a single 30 amp breaker fed by 12 gauge Romex would carry your load. as stated above, you aren't running this device for any great length of time, (3 minutes) so, I don't see a serious overload situation developing. If you were running a production line, yes, you might have problems with electrical and heating issues; but for hobbyist work, and considering set up, heating, vacuum forming, and cooling, you might make maybe 4 to 5 parts an hour?
It is better to err on the side of safety, than to burn your house down, so, these comments are meant as food for thought, and consideration. My thinking is the wiring and insulation changes might lower your total electrical cost by making the process a little quicker and more energy efficient. (Usual disclaimer: Contact a licensed electrician, and a contractor for more information, yadda, yadda, yaddaâ¦.)
I did consider concrete board, but i had seen another example of someone using infrared lamps as a heat source and they mentioned that a reflective surface inside the heating area would help diffuse the heat better so I went with sheet metal panels two kill two birds with one stone.
Right no this thing gets used once or twice a MONTH for 5 minutes at a time.
The table, vaccuum, and heater all sit right next to each other when in use. I am planning to add a switch box to the side of the heater box though so that I can do just what i think you are suggesting...being able to turn off the heater and turn on the vacuum in one convinient place.
The design was heavily influenced by the money and materials i had laying around.
Also, what do you make the shapes out of? Don't they need holes drilled in them, too?
The objects i want to form can be made of most any rigid substance. The triangular shapes shown in the picture (which are supposed to be ears, by the way) were carved out of wood.
If you are going to need alot of detail or the surface of your object has concave areas then you would need to drill holes in the object to ensure the plastic sucks down into those areas. In this case I wasn't going for very much detail.
Very ingenious, and quite simple.
When I started I had the particle board, patio heater, janitors cart, and access to free sheetmetal so my total cost was just shy of $200.
Just two questions:
- Did you drill the 500 holes? If so, my hat is off to you!
-It looks like the plastic sheet to be formed is heated through the bottom board? What about fire hazards(3 kW on a wooden or particle board!), heat loss on heating the bottom board and the space in-between boards, and frame warpage? Just curious.
If you look in the bottom left hand corner of the cover picture you can see the frame with no plastic in it. The heat doesn't pass though a board. When the frame and plastic are sitting on top of the hot box the wood frame is the same witdh as the top edge of the metal panels so only the plastic is directly above the heat.
The auto ignition temperature of particle board is between 425 F and 475 F, and I only heat the plastic to about 350 F (400 F at max). Because the frame is sitting on top of the sides of the box, and because it only requires about 2 to 3 minutes to heat the plastic the wood doesn't get that hot. Even after the time it takes to heat the plastic the frame is still cool enough to lift it with my bare hands and put it on the vacuum table.
This is such a GREAT 'ible i jus had-to leave a comment !!!
Now thats what i call alotta HARD-WORK, especially drilling the 500 HOLES BY HAND for the particle board (MDF in the UK ?!? lol) !!!
An excellent example of why we should ALL make our own stuff to better avoid the EXTORTIONATE prices of the huge 'professional' companies who charge an arm & a leg for one of these handy units !!!
Going to be making this one day this year, concentrating on buying/building a Garden Shed/Workshop this year and will need one of these to fill it with, lol !!!
FULL 5 STARS for a Gargantuan LOAD of work & impressively inspirational ingenuity !!!
Keep up the great work !!!!
I'm glad this thing works for you but I'd use it sparingly if it was me. This might be the next thing you should look into:
Yeah the cord you're running is kind of thin, but I'd worry about that box drying out and going up more I think. Keep your eyes open for an old washing machine so maybe you can gut it for the sheet metal shell and upgrade!
4 stars for bravado.
I use two seperate 20 amp circuits in my garage. One for the patio heater, and one for the lamps.
I do use it sparingly though, as I mentioned, because I trust my wiring abilities more then my home builder's.
I actually opted against a sheetmetal shell to avoid a short. The wiring itself i not likely to give off enough heat to ignite the wood and because it is so dry it is not likely to short through the wood.
I played up my reservations about the wiring in the descriptions but other then not using completely enclosed wiring and junction boxes I took every precaution to not burn my house down.
It's unusual to have 2 mains circuits running into a garage apart from your lighting, (usually one for lights and one for mains) so I guess that means you have 2 circuit breakers? Very handy!

Neurotransmitter precursor for mood and memory
In the body, phenylalanine is converted to tyrosine. The amino acid tyrosine is a precursor of catecholamine neurotransmitters, including l-dopa, dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. These neurotransmitters are responsible for supporting emotional well-being and mental function. l-Tyrosine plays a role in promoting healthy neurotransmitter function in response to environmental and emotional stress. Research has indicated its potential to promote cognitive function and memory under stressful conditions. In one study, l-tyrosine enhanced mood and sleep in subjects with low dopamine levels. Tyrosine is also a key component in the synthesis of thyroid hormones.
l-Tyrosine supports production of catecholamine neurotransmitters, enhancing mood and cognitive function especially under situations involving stress or when dopamine, epinephrine or norepinephrine levels require additional support.

This past Sunday I went to go see Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland. And frankly, I was disappointed. Though the graphics and acting were superb and the story-line easy to follow for a children's tale, it lacked the 'it' factor that usually shows up in Tim Burtons work.
The story begins with Alice in England going to a party at the age of 19. At the party she learns some news that slightly disturbs her. But while she is there she keeps on seeing a rabbit that has made appearances in her dreams. She leaves the crowd to follow the bunny and thus appears in colorful Wonderland for a second adventure.
The colors in this film were astonishing! Your eyes got attacked in a very good way with every talking plant, to every character, to the back rounds of every scene. It was darkly vibrant, as is normal for Tim Burton, and because of that at least your eyes will be happy with what they see. Tied along with this the graphic were enchanting and could make you believe that Wonderland was a place you could go to and visit. I'm sure England wouldn't mind that, more tourists. However, the character of Stayne's, played by Crispin Glover; graphic's were not always believable. In fact when I watched it and had to think about what they were trying to do with that figure. With that said, the only way to make graphic's work is if you have actors that can do them justice.
Every actor did a wonderful job in this film. Everybody from Mia Wasikowska, who played Alice to Alan Rickman, who was the voice for the Blue Caterpillar, was convincing and brought the characters to live. My only complaint was that at times Mad Hatter, played by Johnny Depp was hard to understand. I'm not sure if that was Depp's acting or the way they wanted the Mad Hatter portrayed. And from what I hear many of the events were accurate to the book.
Burton likes to, from what I've seen, go back to the original story in making his films. Though I've never read it I have heard that Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was more accurate to the book and I hear that Burton's Alice in Wonderland is also more accurate to the book. Some of the lines and even the costumes were in the book, from what I have heard. Whereas many people like to grab the idea or theme from a book in order to make a film; or simply create a new version. Granted, because I have never read it, I wouldn't be a good judge for this.
But, lastly, the 'it' factor was gone. I sat through the movie slightly entertained, but wanting more. When it was done it was done, and I was just happy I didn't pay for the movie (date night with my man). I think Tim Burton fans will love it, but movie fans will find it a B-/C+ movie.

In announcing the Affordable Excellence initiative at Roger Williams University in October 2012, President Don Farish launched this President's Blog as a key tool in starting a broad conversation, both on campus and beyond, on access to and affordability of American higher education.
In an article on Oct. 30, The New York Times reported that in Stanford University's undergraduate division, 45 percent of the faculty are in the humanities, but only 15 percent of the students are humanities majors. Harvard University has seen a 20 percent drop in humanities majors in the last decade, and nationally only 7 percent of students are majoring in the humanities, half the percentage seen in 1970. Elizabeth City State University, a historically black university in North Carolina, may eliminate degree programs in seven programs, including history, in part because of declining student interest in these majors.
Do the humanities still have a place in American higher education? Or are colleges and universities destined to become a collection of training programs for the professions? Is there no middle ground?

How can ' terrorism' be effectively checked if the developed world has double standards in itself?
The very definition of terrorism needs to be understood as one person's defense can be an offense for other person likewise the terrorism.
Jan 7 2013: Dear Mr.Mark Meijer,
Pardon me to say that a nation,a politician,a society or a government represents us the people at the macro level.This too is a fact of life that people do differ from each other in a shades of life.I do not agree with the proposition that it is we who practice double standards.It may be possible at the micro level among individuals but here i mean that the representative Governments in Europe and today's America are practicing double standards against the third world countries or developing nations of lesser economies whatever you may like to term them.Did the Vietnam war or other such wars of USA had the popular will of the people of that country.Certainly not.Though the govt.of that time in USA was a democratically elected govt.yet it was fought in the name of the people of USA,for the propaganda only.There was certainly a great difference of opinion back home in public in USA against the govt.of USA.
It is presumed that a democratically elected governments shall reflect the popular will of the people but the practice is quite contrary and the general public including those who did not vote for that govt.are kept hostage to that govt.'s actions.Life is not just the idea,one has to live it in consonance with the Religious dictates very faithfully or in case of a non believer in conjunction with the settled principals of that society or nation whatever you may term it.Such a set of rules,(if you like) keeps the individual stick to some code of life and behavior.
My point is that left it to general public life may become comparatively easier in qualitative terms.But the politicians,the political parties and the vested interests like the Feudal and the so called entrepreneurial classes keep their agenda above the popular interest of populace at large and manipulate their governments to act upon an agenda that suits them alone.There are governments which dance to their tune(its an everyday scene ).Did Hitler get any public opinion before going toJan 6 2013: thank you for participation.See that violence begets violence as it is vice too.The countries,nations or communities threaten each other politically,religiously or hegemonic ally.The phenomena is like the famous saying of Chinese leader MAO TSE TUNG "We are the advocates of abolition of war we do not want war ,but in order to get rid of the guns,we have to take up the guns". Every one on the globe is taught like you mentioned but yet we see violence being spread all around under the active patronage of politicians,Governments,Clergy,religious stalwarts,unfortunately.They put off the sane slogan of non-violence just because they have a sort of scientific or technological edge over the others.Killing for them is no issue,since it quenches their thirst for being powerful.In theory they uphold Human rights,mutual co-existence etc.but there is always a contradiction in their beliefs and the practice.The tendency to grab the resources by some against some is never resolved to this day,hence the issues over the globe are becoming grave,tedious and intricate with every passing day.Every society,group or nation has a fundamental right to govern itself under its own norms to the extent that it does not dehumanize its subjects,citizens or the community.Outside interference is seldom required.Mutual co-operation however is always a good think to share for the benefit of both or all on the globe.But it is easy said than done.That is how it is usually said that man was born free but he is everywhere in chains on the planet earth.The comity of nations need badly to co-exist to achieve peace .Jan 5 2013: The USA is and was the worlds leading vender in weapons. These weapons are used globally to wage war on countries and within countries on their own people as well as by splintered terrorist groups to wage war on anyone. In this way the United States has been a facilitator of world terror for as much as a century(that is since WWI where the first great war profiteering by the us occurred) and the US is not the only global power that has been and is guilty of this behavior, the former soviet union and the Chinese come to mind as does the states that support the Hezbollah and other groups. So long as the USA and other 1st world nation use and supply these weapons on and to the 2nd and 3rd world, there is no way or reason that these terrorist groups will stop. Terrorism is the creation and use of fear as a political tool, that certainly applies to the saber rattling and police actions taken by the USA and to the policy of Mutually Assured Destruction, as much as to a car bombing or a suicide bombing or missile attacks by Hezbollah, or bombings in Afghanistan by the USAF or the attack by Israeli tanks into the Gaza strip. We must apply an international standard of behavior that punishes the use of violence to advance political ends whoever the aggressor is. Lets look to the world court or to UN as our judicial body.

Jan 2 2013: I'm not sure the developed world has double standards. Here in the U.S. we also have "homegrown" terrorists, American citizens born in the U.S. who practice terrorism against their fellow Americans.

Jan 2 2013: Governments have no real interest in ending terrorism - being such well-studied practitioners of the art themselves.
- +1
Terrorism is very PROFITABLE. Governments don't want to end terrorism. They want to end perceived threats against them and will use terrorism to drive that point home. They will use terrorism on their enemies and their own citizens.
"1984" is certainly upon us. What a dystopia we live in - calling war, "peace", ignorance, "power", and slavery, "freedom". That is all due to terrorism of our government against its own people.
Jan 5 2013: : Terrorism is available to states as well as non state organizations or individuals. Why would Terrorism not apply to an action (say the bombing of a building) just because it was done by a USAF plane instead of a United Airlines one?
Barry Palmer
Jan 2 2013: The root of terrorism is terror. It is a term used by governments to instill fear into the populace.
- +1
The battle is between groups of people who seek power over other people. Neither group is interested in having people understand the truth, and both groups justify and describe the battle with lies. It is certainly possible that the cause of one group is somewhat morally superior to the cause of the other group. In my estimation, the individuals involved act with no concern for morals. None of the people engaged in this battle are really seeking peace. The road to peace is through justice, and the warmongers seek power, not justice.
'Terrorism' will be 'checked' by victory. One side or the other will give up, and both sides will claim victory. Judging from the rate of progress throughout the last few decades, victory will not occur in this century.
Jan 5 2013: : Terrorism is available to states as well as non state organizations or individuals. Why would Terrorism not apply to an action (say the bombing of a building) just because it was done by a USAF plane instead of a United Airlines one? i copy you this reply because it applies to your comment as well.
Jan 5 2013: I agree. Please, convince the media.
Jan 5 2013: would be nice to collect some thumbs ups here b ut whatever. thank you for the support.Jan 7 2013: war.See how much had it shaken the world and mankind.Did US govt.assess that the nuclear holocaust in Japan has the express or implied consent of Americans while dropping a nuclear bomb at Hiroshima.
iF PEOPLE ARE TO BE CONSULTED BEFORE EVERY SIGNIFICANT STEP UNDERTAKEN BY ITS GOVERNMENTS( LIKE REFERENDUMS) THEN THINGS ON THE EARTH CAN BE BETTER.
i WILL PROPOSE YOU TO THINK IT OVER AGAIN.tHE GOVERNMENTS WERE THOUGHT OF TO HELP STEER THEIR PEOPLE IN A BETTER WAY AND NOT FOR CREATING AN UN IMAGINABLE DIVIDE BETWEEN THEM AS IS A EVERYDAY SHOW IN THE WORLD AFFAIRS THESE DAYS.
ITS PROPER FOR YOU TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEMS THAN TO GIVE A SHUT UP CALL.HAVE A HEART.Jan 5 2013: true you have hit the bull.
Jan 5 2013: Thank you for the opinion. I wish that we could get a broader support of the idea that violence and the threat of violence is not acceptable. Its just the first lesson that we are supposed to learn in kindergardenJan 3 2013: I agree with your argument,but how do you think it shall end up some day and how?Jan 3 2013: What if a state has created an outfit of terrorists and propagating to curb it at the same time.Is not it double standards?please think.
Jan 3 2013: Do you ever spell your argument? What state? You are asking people to think based on a statement of vague seudo-facts.
Comment deleted
Jan 5 2013: I can understand your comment and this exactly is the problem with such topics.If you live in the so called developed world,then your reaction is normal as you are given such a sugar coated pill of news the whole day long that you are brain washed and gradually tend to have the same belief which your media wants you to believe.There is a lot of the vast world which is suffering at the hands of single policeman of the world today being it the so called "unipolar world"she feeds both the perpetrator of terrorism and also support the counter- terrorism as a face saving in the so called comity of nations.Who was in veitnam,who attacked its own progeny in Iraq,who took revenge from Qaddafi.
Yet you say pseudo.I pity your state of mind.Jan 5 2013: please read my reply to Mark Meijer
Jan 5 2013: You assume too much, you also over generalize and simplifly, maybe that is why you reason that way. I grew up in the under developed world and had my fair share of exposure to third world problems. Unlike you I tend to place blame of the world's problems on multiple countries and factors, not on a single country. I make it a point to get my information from as many sources as possible from the most liberal to the most conservative to make up my mind, so don't accuse me of being brainwashed when you seem to repeat the same one sided argument.
And yes I misspelled pseudo so psue me...Jan 5 2013: You mean like the creation of the Taliban by the Pakistani CIA(with the aid of US CIA) which you can confirm by research if you doubt me? Of course it is a double standard to fight a war on terror by use of terror.Jan 2 2013: Good point. We can only lead by example,but no one is perfect.
Jan 3 2013: who shall take a lead to go by example.Certainly,the perpetrators and not the victims.Why do we feel shy of calling a spade a spade especially when the world very well understands who they are.Why don't we give peace a chance in our world?Why living on hegemonic ideas.Why there is arm twisting by some against some.Please think and develop consensus for peace.
Jan 3 2013: John is right it is about the target, the intention and the state affiliation. You are attempting to compare apples to oranges because you only look at the outcome rather than other factors. You also talk about calling a spade a spade but do not mention who 'they' are, live by your word and peel off the mystery. Who is doing the arm twisting?Jan 1 2013: Terrorism is the use of violence or scare tactics by non-state actors to scare other people into accepting political change (because those actors know they cannot obtain their political goals through democracy, negotiations or an appeal to human rights) and it is increasingly associated primarily with attacks on civilian targets. It is not about defense or offense in a traditional sense.
Jan 5 2013: Terrorism is available to states as well as non state organizations or individuals. Why would Terrorism not apply to an action (say the bombing of a building) just because it was done by a USAF plane instead of a United Airlines one?
Jan 7 2013: Because the USAF isn't using it to scare a government or a population, it's done to kill the people and equipment inside that building, just like one group of gangster killing another group of gangsters isn't done to scare a government or a population. Now if the US government were to use "gunboat diplomacy" (which they have certainly done in the past) then this might be construed as terrorism though it's just a matter of convention that it's not called terrorism if state actors are doing it. And yes, it's important to remember such conventions because although people say they just want an objective truth they do use words to associate something with something else to make it look more horrible. When you dilute the meaning of the word you also make associating things with that word less damning.
Example: if I dilute the meaning of the word "holocaust" from meaning killing millions of unarmed civilians to also including killing a group of 1000 people, but don't tell people about that and then I go on the news and say some event (say 2000 people killed, but I don't give the number) was a holocaust I'm 1) using cicular reasoning (it's only a holocaust because I changed the definition of that word) and 2) misleading people because I make it seem as though the event killed millions of unarmed civilians (people don't know I changed the definition). If I tell people about me changing the definition then I'm being honest, at the same time I have nothing to gain from associating the event with the holocaust anymore because that term has now become so broad that it's almost meaningless (I can't manipulate people by with that term anymore).

← Back to Past Exhibitions 2012
Jan–Dec 2012
In works that range from intimate poetic objects to large-scale neon signs, Martin Creed (British, b. 1968) reevaluates the status of art with a generous sense of humor. As part of a yearlong residency at MCA Chicago, Creed brings his avant-garde sensibility to the building and the city. In each month of 2012, Creed unveils an artwork in a different space of the MCA, progressing upward through four floors of the building and extending his work outward to the sculpture garden and plaza and into the city of Chicago. Some works live as sculptures in the museum's public spaces, and some projects are site specific—for instance, murals in the atrium and café. Others still, such as a work that takes the form of crumpled balls of paper placed in each of the museum's public spaces, play with the notion of the carefully curated object. Extending his project beyond the MCA, Creed—who fronts a rock band—explores the city's vibrant music scene as well.
The artist's work and projects enliven the museum and the city and involve visitors in unexpected ways. As objects are presented throughout the building and city over the course of the year, Creed also gives several performances, building toward the US premiere of his first ballet, presented in the MCA's theater in the fall of 2012. Martin Creed Plays Chicago connects this renowned artist to the MCA and the city of Chicago in ways that are as multifaceted as his practice.
Creed is one of the United Kingdom's leading artists and winner of the 2001 Turner Prize. He lives and works in London and spends time in Alicudi, Italy. Creed's work has been exhibited widely at a variety of international venues, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Moscow Museum of Modern Art; the Centre Pompidou–Metz, France; Tate Modern, London; and Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
To read more about the project, follow Martin Creed Plays Chicago, a blog documenting the residency as it unfolds.
To hear from Martin about the works in the exhibition, access the audio tour on the MCA's channel.
Lead support for the Martin Creed Residency is provided by Helen and Sam Zell.
Major support is provided by Margot and George Greig.
Additional generous support is provided by Cari and Michael Sacks and Helyn Goldenberg.

hello all!
i recently bought a used miller econotig.. and there is no amperage control at all via the foot pedal or hand control...
i have the weld process switch set to gtaw... and the range/polarity switch set to dcen..
i have a foot pedal as well as a hand control.. and neither of them are allowing me to change amperage.. they are more like an on/off switch.. weather i press the foot pedal a little or all the way it puts out the same (what i assume to be) 100% output
the same goes for the hand control..
basically the metal is over heating.. and glowing red hot.. with the arc jumping all over the place and burning holes through the material.. (from what i assume to be too much amperage)
my welding scd10 ss pipe..
this is my first time welding.. but i know im supposed to have control over the amperage.. not just an on off switch..
local welding supply store wants 70 bucks just to look at the welder..
online manual says to clean out the inside of the welder.. i may try this in a little bit.. but from what i see online this is a common problem with econotigs..
^^ this guy apparently fixed his problem..
im trying to contact the person i bought it from but i doubt ill get any help from him..

knob 4 is inactive in tig mode.. its only used for stick welder mode..
well im hoping this is my only problem.. i dont see any scorch marks on the board but i wont be for sure till i start to clean out the welder..
a simple air can will not clean this up.. can i use electronic parts cleaner to just spray the entire inside of the machine?
electonic parts cleaner is like brake parts cleaner.. propably the same thing.. non conductive.. and i wont turn on the machine till im sure that its 100% dry.. maybe 2 cans of electronic parts cleaner then 1 can of air to make sure its 100% dry?

Your "D" pin appears to be missing on your amphenol, thus no control. Find it and shove it back in.

thanks for the reply!
i just ran over and checked it out and there doesnt appear to be any missing pins from inside the welder..
like this picture shows..
all the wires are already connected and the one that goes under there is connected to something else..
the bunched wires that lead to the pins are ziptied together so it doesnt look like there was a wire there before either..
but i looked at the foot control plug and it has 5 pins.. but only 4 on the machine!
i have more pictures i took that are uploading now

i looked at the back of the connector..
as you can see all the wires go somewhere.. doesnt look like there are any loose wires...
the wire that runs down along the bottom of the welder connects to something on the other side

only thing out of place on the welder.. that i could see.. was this wire connector that didnt have a wire connected.. but who knows maybe thats how its supposed to be..
Next thing you did not say what tungsten you are using, what gas you are using. So lets start there.
With Sch 10 stainless I would set my amp knob at 70-80%, gas flow at 20CFH, us 3/32 red tungsten sharpened to a point. Is this what you are doing?
One other thing did you make sure you have gas coming out of the end of the torch?

Looking to paint a room in your house but aren't sure the measurements? Find out how much paint you need using our guide.
Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.
- Danny Kaye, American actor (1913-87)
- Estimate your room size and paint needs before you go to the store. Running out of a custom color halfway through the job could mean disaster. For the sake of the following exercise, assume that you have a 10x15-foot room with an 8-foot ceiling. The room has two doors and two windows.
For Walls
- Measure the total distance (perimeter) around the room: (10 ft. + 15 ft.) x 2 = 50 ft.
- Multiply the perimeter by the ceiling height to get the total wall area: 50 ft. x 8 ft. = 400 sq. ft.
- Doors are usually 21 square feet (there are two in this exercise): 21 sq. ft. x 2 = 42 sq. ft.
- Windows average 15 square feet (there are two in this exercise): 15 sq. ft. x 2 = 30 sq. ft.
- Take the total wall area and subtract the area for the doors and windows to get the wall surface to be painted: 400 sq. ft. (wall area)– 42 sq. ft. (doors) – 30 sq. ft. (windows) 328 sq. ft.
- As a rule of thumb, one gallon of quality paint will usually cover 400 square feet. One quart will cover 100 square feet. Because you need to cover 328 square feet in this example, one gallon will be adequate to give one coat of paint to the walls. (Coverage will be affected by the porosity and texture of the surface. In addition, bright colors may require a minimum of two coats.)
For Ceilings
- Using the rule of thumb for coverage above, you can calculate the quantity of paint needed for the ceiling by multiplying the width by the length: 10 ft. x 15 ft. = 150 sq. ft. This ceiling will require approximately two quarts of paint. (A flat finish is recommended to minimize surface imperfections.) For Doors, Windows, and Trim
- The area for the doors and windows has been calculated above. (The windowpane area that does not get painted should allow for enough paint for any trim around doors and windows.) Determine the baseboard trim by taking the perimeter of the room, less 3 feet per door (3 ft. x 2 = 6 ft.), and multiplying this by the average trim width of your baseboard, which in this example is 6 inches (or 0.5 feet). 50 ft. (perimeter) – 6 ft. = 44 ft. 44 ft. x 0.5 ft. = 22 sq. ft.
- Add the area for doors, windows, and baseboard trim. 42 sq. ft. (doors) +30 sq. ft. (windows) +22 sq. ft. (baseboard trim) 94 sq. ft.
- One quart will be sufficient to cover the doors, windows, and trim in this example.
Tip: Before you paint, ventilate. Keep a window or outside door open in the room you are painting to avoid breathing noxious fumes.

How To Buy Ski Base Layers
Most skiers dress in layers that work together to keep them dry, warm, and protected from the elements. When you
layer, you can take off or put on pieces as needed, allowing you to be prepared for fast-changing winter weather
conditions or tailor what you're wearing to your activity levels.
The importance of layering
Return To Top
Layer one: long underwear/base layer
The function of tops and pants in this layer is to keep you dry by allowing perspiration to evaporate
quickly, keeping you comfortable all day. Long underwear should also provide warmth and comfort against your
Functional requirements
Your comfort is the key here. Base layer garments should be soft, keep you dry, and provide a little warmth.
Layer two: insulating tops & pants
The primary function of clothing in this layer is to keep you warm.
Layer three: outerwear

(Use pointers, if it is in text that is not open source.) I don't think there is a definition that a basic scientists could accept, but I'm listening! Howard
- The definition of knowledge, or the conditions of knowledge, is an integral part of this debate. Some people's attacks on skepticism depend precisely on claims about what knowledge does or doesn't require. So it is definitely not the role of a moderator to define anything on this subject. --Larry Sanger 10:25, 10 August 2006 (PDT)

Does God exist?
- Available to moderate: Larry Sanger
- Affirmative ("The God of the monotheistic religions exists"):
- Negative ("The God of the monotheistic religions does not exist"):
- This is actually a question I honestly have no strong feelings about, and so could (consistently with my proposed rules) take the affirmative position (and, having taught the material many times, with gusto!), if no one else is available. I didn't put my name down on the affirmative side simply because I didn't want to give you the idea that one could propose to take both sides, which (the rules now say) you can't. Also, perhaps we should consider the "agnostic" side; but I would be inclined to make that a separate debate summary, about the question: "Is the existence of God knowable?" --Larry Sanger 21:32, 9 August 2006 (PDT)
- Larry, I suggest you shall be moderator only. There will be somebody available. Lets play clean from the beginning! --Math 22:37, 9 August 2006 (PDT)
- Matthias, I didn't mean to suggest that I could be both mdoerator and summarist. Depending on who shows up, I would go where needed. Anyway, for now I'll remove my name from the negative position. --Larry Sanger 10:25, 10 August 2006 (PDT)

Ryan Tannehill yes he gets credit for pulling the trigger there. Although that was an insanely easy trigger to pull considering who the coaches were.
The breakdowns are not going well. I'm going to be honest the NFL's schedule is ****ing me over. They don't release All 22 footage until noon on Wednesday which means all I have is Wednesday night to break it down because if I'm still not done Thursday then all the sudden there's a Thursday Night Football game on and they black out NFL Rewind during that broadcast. Then I'm into Friday and I usually have people I'm getting together with Friday night. It's really become much more a pain in my ass than I had initially envisioned. I have a 9 to 5 job that works out to be more like 8 to 7, I think everyone knows how that goes.

New Cloning Experiment Makes Big News
The discovery of a frozen Mammoth has allowed a team of Japanese Scientists an attempt at cloning the species. Yes, a real life Mammoth could be walking the planet after 10,000 years of extinction.
Researchers plan to use a tissue sample from frozen mammoth remains, to harvest cell nuclei. The nuclei of the mammoth cell will then be inserted into the egg cell of an elephant, which has had its own nuclei removed. Follow? In other words… if we take an elephant egg cell, remove its nucleus, and then replace it with a mammoth nucleus, we will have a baby mammoth.
The research group, which includes two American, and one Russian scientist, is headed by Akira Iritani, professor at Kyoto University in Japan.

A Fort Wayne man was sentenced to 60 years in prison for spraying bullets at an ambulance and car, injuring four people, in September after a fight at a northeast-side nightclub.
Traneilous L. Jackson, 24, pleaded guilty last month to four counts of attempted murder for opening fire on the ambulance – as well as a car following it – Sept. 9 as it transported a stabbing victim from the Piere's nightclub complex.
Allen Superior Court Judge John Surbeck sentenced Jackson to a 50-year term for each count of attempted murder, with the sentences to be served at the same time, as set out in a plea agreement with prosecutors.
Surbeck also sentenced Jackson to eight years for a count of battery with a deadly weapon and a pair of two-year terms, served simultaneously, for two charges of criminal recklessness while armed with a deadly weapon. Jackson will get credit for 171 days already served in jail.
Jackson appeared at the Wednesday morning sentencing wearing shackles and a bright orange prison jumpsuit.
When asked if he had anything to say, Jackson murmured an apology to the victims of the shooting, which included a medic who was wounded by shrapnel and broken glass and a woman riding in the car who was hit by at least 10 bullets, according to court documents. He then acknowledged his family.
"Most importantly, I apologize to my family, my son," Jackson said.
He smiled and flashed a hand gesture to supporters as they left the courtroom.
According to court documents, Jackson and another man, 23-year-old Dontay Martin, riddled each vehicle with 15 to 20 bullets. Friends of the stabbing victim were following in the car.
An Allen County jury found Martin guilty earlier this month on four counts of attempted murder, along with battery and firearm- and gang-related charges. He is scheduled to be sentenced Monday.

Series: ECF Conference Plenary Lectures (2 entries)

This series features the plenary lectures from the Evolution and Christian Faith conference in Grand Rapids, MI, held from June 20 to July 2, 2015.
The history of interpretation of Adam from Genesis to the 1st Century reveals a bold and astonishing diversity in which the authors made of Adam what they needed of Adam.
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
Some of the Christian objections to evolutionary creation come from a misunderstanding of what the Bible means when it says "God created".
When we sit down to read sacred Scripture, we need to develop a rapport with the Bible's various authors and their worldviews. Otherwise, we will unintentionally demand they communicate in the same manner we do.
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Scholar and musician Jeff Warren addresses the questions of how music is meaningful, and where that meaning resides, by looking at the popular ideas that musical meaning is entirely subjective to the listener and that the meaning of music can be universal. He also explores the recent trend of attempting to explain music via neuroscience. Finally, he looks into the reasons why music continues to play such a critical role in the worshiping life of the Church.
In today's video, Brian McLaren discusses the value of considering Scripture in light of the cultures that surrounded them. The Biblical writers were aware of the myths of the power nations that surrounded them, but flipped their stories on their heads to reveal truth about God.
Pete Shaw highlights the story of Noah to explore how the story would have been understood in ancient times and from there he goes on to explore how we might consider it today.
Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) was the foremost Christian scholar of the High Middle Ages and is today regarded as a "doctor" of the Catholic Church. No, Aquinas was not a materialist neuroscientist, but he understood the intimate interdependence of mind and body.
It is our sincere hope that, above all else, the film can become a focal point for some of the big questions that inevitably arise at the intersection of science and faith.
In this six part series, Brian Godawa takes a closer look at cosmography and its relationship to the Bible. After defining cosmography as a theory that describes features of the heavens and the earth, he relates how his own views about the universe have shifted. He then continues to talk about the Mesopotamian cosmography that is so consistently reflected in Scripture. This view of the universe includes aspects such as the firmament, the pillars, the underworld, the heavens above, the watery abyss. He then explains how one understands these concepts in terms of modern scientific thought.
Brian Godawa looks at several aspects of ancient cosmography (descriptions of the universe) that also appear in the Bible, and what these aspects of the text mean for our understanding of Scripture.
As an evolutionary biologist I am fascinated by the emergence of cognitive abilities that make us so distinctive from other living species. There are, however, risks in making up evolutionary "just-so" stories to explain the origins of complex human beliefs.
To understand and apply Genesis 1 correctly, we have to consider issues of genre and intention. Too often these chapters are read as if they present a purely straightforward historical and even scientific account of cosmic and human origins.
In these two brief video Conversations, John Walton discusses the problem of trying to integrate ancient scripture with our modern worldview.
Atrahasis is important to biblical scholars because of it similarity to Genesis 2-9. Both stories share a similar storyline: creation, population growth and rebellion, flood. They also share some important details within that storyline.
In this video, John Walton talks about ancient myth and how we might better understand it if we think about its intended functionality—that is, myths were a way to explain a culture's origin and universal significance though they lacked the advances of scientific discovery.

90 BILLION Bottles and Cans used in USA last year*
I have a CO2 Charger from Soda Club USA ( Soda Club International ) to carbonate filtered tap water. I buy concentrated syrup flavors from Prairie Moon Beverage Company in 4oz 120mL bottles. I sweeten with Generic Aspartame (Equal). I've never used sugar, so I'll provide a link to the syrup company's recipe page.
I estimate a 16oz 450mL Soft Drink costs me about 17 cents.
Supplies:Soda Charger from Soda Club International
Concentrated Soda Flavors from Prairie Moon Beverage
Generic Aspartame, or Sugar, Sweet-n-Low, Splenda,...
Recycled glass bottle for Syrup (I use Snapple Bottles)
Cost:Concentrated Syrup Flavors: Quantity discount ........ 24 - 4oz 120mL bottles @ $2.79 each
NatraTaste (same as NutraSweet or Equal) On Sale ...... 4.2 oz 120g 120 packets @ $3.00 each
CO2 Charger ...... $79.99+$19.99 S&H
* One Time Charge for Carbonation Machine & 2 Carbonating Bottles
* Includes 2 refillable cylinders of CO2 makes 60 Liters of Carbonated Water ea.
* Divide the start up cost of the charger it is about 83.3 cents per Liter for first 120L
* For gas refills the cost goes down to about 50 cents per Liter.
* Watch for sales - I got free shipping. Right now gas refills are on sale for 1/2 price
When I amortize out the cost of the Carbonater I am saving money
Here are the REAL savings that I love:I don't have a car. Carrying home big bottles is a pain
Grocery delivery option costs too much also
I don't have to go to the grocery as often
I don't need as much fridge/cabinet space
I can sweeten to my preference
I can reduce the flavor for a lighter soda
No Caffeine (some premixed syrup is Caffeinated)
I can drink plain soda or any of 6 flavors right now (could easily be more)
* 61 flavors are available!
I can just flavor the soda water with a lime, lemon or orange
I also like unflavored seltzer
Fruit Juice and seltzer mixed half and half tastes great.
I don't have to deal with recycling
I don't need to store anything except the charger and back up cylinder
In the fridge
* 6 Snapple bottles of syrup,
* 2 1 Liter bottles of plain soda
* 12 - 4oz 120mL bottles of concentrated syrup -
* * lined up at the back, or side, of one shelf they consume 1.75" depth
Fridge savings aren't only space, but also electricity
Public benefits I like:City doesn't have to deal with my recycling: driving to dump, separating etc
No factory recycling my bottles
Trucks aren't driving water from a factory, to a store, and then to my house.
Grocery isn't storing soda
Grocery isn't air conditioning soda space
* I think a rack of 4oz bottles could replace the space with maybe 3' width?
Bottle company employees, trucker, stock clerk & Cashier in grocery do not have to
lug around big bottles
Giving my business to entrepreneur (Prairie Moon) instead of huge soda companies
There are probably more reasons. That's just how it works for me and why I like it.
In the following steps, I'll show how I mix syrups, carbonate water and make sodas.
BIG NOTE ABOUT MEASUREMENTS AND COSTSThere are huge possibilities for cost differences. I like a lightly flavored, lightly sweetened, highly carbonated soda. If you like a different style your costs and measurements will be different.
Costs change drastically with quantity also. I can only tell you what it costs for me.
*I rounded all Metric conversions to what I think is probably the common size used.
* * For example the 4oz bottle of concentrate actually contains 118mL. I used 120mL for the calculations.
* * A single serving in the U.S. is 16oz, that is 473mL. I used 450mL for the single serving conversion as I think that is the standard size used in many countries.
Please let me know if you find a large error. Small mismatches in conversions are probably because of the simplification of measures.
*Soda Club USA
sounds amazing to drink but still looks expend!!!
SodaStream has a refillable/replaceable gas bottle and
you can take it to the specialised shop (in my case, Australia has Big W)
and i'm pretty sure u can use any flavour....
you can get a SodaStream pack, which has a CO2 injector, flavour samples and a SodaStream soda bottle
Stevia is an all natural sweetener
Thanks for a really great 'ible!
Perhaps some readers could help me with a related problem of my own...
I recently aquired some 20L containers of concentrated "sweet flavouring" (I assume for making sweets) and since its in flavours that I like as soda, I was wondering if they could be made to work as soda flavouring - admittedly my first attempts have been horrible, just turning to foam, and watery flavoured when I reduce the concentration.... but perhaps some readers have more experiance with the product?
Another tip is take your flavoring add it to the empty bottle & freeze it. Chill the water until it is almost freezing. Fill your plastic bottle to the top of the label, squeeze the bottle until it has no air ( almost none) inside & cap. Then fill with 50-80 PSI of CO2.

A 125-square-mile fire is blazing its way throughout Colorado forests. That's a fire about double the size of the District of Columbia. According to the Colorado Office of Emergency Management, the fire is zero percent contained.
The three wildfires that make up what is being called the West Fork Complex have been burning since the beginning of the month, and officials in the area don't think it can be contained without some help from nature. One incident commander told the AP that the West Fork fire "likely will burn for months."
A separate fire in the Black Forest was just contained last week. It killed two people and destroyed 500 homes.
What's propelling these fires are dry conditions made worse by strong winds and an ongoing spruce-beetle infestation. The beetles tunnel under the bark, laying eggs that will eventually kill the tree. According to one Fox affiliate in the region, "Spruce beetles have killed as much as 70 percent of the trees in the affected area, essentially creating 'vertical kilns.' "
Last year, National Journal's Sophie Quinton went to Colorado to investigate the threat of the beetles, and found a consensus among scientists that climate change is to blame:
North America is witnessing the largest pine-beetle epidemic in recorded history. From Canada's Yukon Territory to New Mexico, pine trees by the hundreds of millions are succumbing to a fungus that the beetles carry. The pine needles of infected trees first turn a violent red, then they fall, and, finally, the dead tree topples over. Year by year, communities have watched a scourge advance across mountainsides and through neighborhoods, trees turning from green to red to gray. The beetles now attack 12 pine species, from the high-elevation whitebark pine to the lower-elevation ponderosa and piñon. The blight has devastated 3.3 million acres in Colorado alone since the 1990s.
Beetles kill, die off, and regenerate, all of which is part of a lodgepole pine forest's natural life cycle. But human activity helped set the stage for the current epidemic. Decades of fire suppression have left the West with dense stands of vulnerable, elderly trees. Climate has also played a role. Frigid winters that usually kill the beetles have become, over the past 20 years, the exception rather than the rule. Earlier snowmelt and longer summers have altered the beetles' range and life cycle; they now attack pines at higher altitudes and latitudes, and they reproduce twice a year instead of once. Earlier springs and a series of dry years have also weakened trees, turning them into ideal beetle food.
Wildfires can cause damages in the billions of dollars. In 2011, drought and wildfire in Texas cost $10 billion in damages.
Here's the detail of what NASA's Earth Observatory saw from space:
And here's what the fires looks like from the Earth:
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this post did not correctly distinguish the Black Forest fire from the West Fork Complex fire.

Gia Allemand in 2010. (Slaven Vlasic/Getty Images)
An announcement remembers the "Bachelor" alum as the "Loving girlfriend 'Petrie' of Ryan 'Snuggy' Anderson, beloved daughter and little princess of Donna Micheletti and stepdaughter of Tony Micheletti, loving sister of Dylan and Erick, most cherished granddaughter of Marie (Nonna) Coltrinari, devoted Godchild of Fred and Annemarie Coltrinari, dear cousin of Brian, Ellen, Kevin and Julie," noting that she "is also survived by her dear dog Bentley."
Though the world is still stunned by her sudden death, perhaps no one is suffering more than Anderson, who was the person who first found Gia unconscious on Monday night and placed the initial call to 911.
"Gia was the most beautiful person I knew inside and out and she always smiled and made everyone else around her smile," the NBA player recalled. "She had an amazing impact on my life and anyone that knew her was blessed. All I have left is to cherish those memories we made together and help perpetuate the many values, faith and love that we shared."
Hopefully the public visitation and funeral will not only remind Anderson of their faith and love, but will also help bring him some peace.
Gia is just one of many stars we've lost this year ...

Posted by Jtpsops on 3/23/2012 10:36:00 AM (view original):49ers took Smith #1 overall. The next 22 teams went non-QB. Then came a guy named Rodgers, arguably the best QB in the game today. I'm sure at least 18 of those teams would take Rodgers now, if they had it to do over. Many teams have stories about missed picks
You're pretending that the 50+ picks by teams before Smith/Rice/Marino wouldn't have changed with the same hindsight you're using. That's silly and you know it. McMahon was the Bears QB at the time of the '85 draft. They had two picks before Marino. Your contention seems to be that the Bears, had they known what Marino would have become, would have said "No. We drafted McMahon in '82. He's doing a good job. Our needs are T and WR. We'll stick with Covert and Gault. Someone else can have Marino."
Posted by MikeT23 on 3/23/2012 10:58:00 AM (view original):That's a poor example, jtpops. Because, with a healthy Manning and a committment to use him for the next 3-4 seasons, the Colts would do exactly that. They'd have traded the pick to address needs for the end of Manning's run.
Posted by Jtpsops on 3/23/2012 10:48:00 AM (view original):So if the Colts still had Manning, and he was guaranteed to be healthy, they could get a pass on not drafting Luck or RG3, since they had more pressing needs?
Posted by stinenavy on 3/23/2012 11:00:00 AM (view original):Quite a few notes here:
1) Rice/Marino/Smith might not have become Rice/Marino/Smith if drafted by the Jets.
2) If the Raiders drafted Leinhart there's a chance they wouldn't have been bad enough the next season to get Calvin Johnson anyway.
3) As far as drafting you have to put it in context here as far as value at draft time. If Luck and RGIII are both hurt or are terrible or whatever, and Ryan Tannehill gets drafted like 14th and becomes an amazing QB, bashing the Colts and Redskins for not taking Tannehill 1st or 2nd probably isn't right.
These are some valid points.
1. Emmitt Smith on virtually any other team would not have been nearly as good. Dallas had the right combination of HUGE run blockers and a dart-throwing QB to make it work. Emmitt Smith on the Jets would have been Blair Thomas.
2. The Raiders drafted Leinart when his name was Marinovich.
3. If you want to see a history of inept team management, read Bill Simmons column in Grantland about the Golden State Warriors. Holy ****, I'm kind of a Warrior fan, and even I forgot some of the idiotic moves they made. The Jets are nothing compared to the GSW.
Aw sh!t. It's on like napalm...
Well, when the one word(or sentence in this case) implies that Tebow has less value to a NFL than a ping pong ball, you get what you deserve. Overreact and you'll be mocked.
Anyway, if a team thinks "He'll be one of the best ever as his position but we're solid there" and passes on the player in the draft, they're inept. That's not what happened with the Jets.
