President's Message
Dear Chapter,
Spring time is here and to celebrate we are having our very first (or least in a long time) family picnic. All are invited. It will be at the Lake Murray Community Park and is a BYOB, although soda and water will be provided. There will be games to play, a Clown! and ice cream!!!
Thank you to everyone that came out to the last meeting regarding indoor grow facilities. I learned a lot more and now know what I have been doing wrong -- my tomatoes should come in much better this year. What were you thinking?
We have several more great events taking place as we head into Summer and I wanted everyone to know that I am very proud of how actively engaged the San Diego Chapter is and it's dedication to learning, growing and having FUN. We never seem to forget about the last one.
A reminder that the ASHRAE year ends on 6/30/16. A new group of officers and chairs will be put into place for the next ASHRAE year beginning on 7/1/16. As always we will have an installation dinner in June -- I hope to see you there.
If anyone has recommendations for how we can do better or if anyone is able to help us through volunteerism, please contact myself or any of the officers. Thank you.
Andrew Nash,

Southern Vermont College student recognized for involvementMay 07,2013SVC student wins award
BENNINGTON Southern Vermont College student Hanifah Presley received the Engaged Student Award from the Vermont Campus Compact at the 2013 Engaged Campus Forum last month.
The campus compact is a consortium of Vermonts colleges and universities committed to civic engagement.
Presley, of Brooklyn, N.Y., received the award after a significant investment of time and energy in activities that promote and support engagement at Southern Vermont among her peers.
Since 2011, Presley has been active in MooseCorps, a community service club that provides service opportunities for the entire college community, worked many hours at One World Conservation Center in Bennington and sold Candy Grams to raise funds for the American Heart Association.
In a statement, Corie Steinke, the colleges residence director and civic engagement coordinator, said Presleys greatest strength is her willingness to communicate helpfully with other students.
As a community partner of Southern Vermont College, the Greater Bennington Interfaith Council was recognized as a finalist for the Engaged Community Partner Award, which recognizes the support of the Colleges civic mission.
Members of The Greater Bennington Interfaith Council worked with the colleges provost, Albert DeCiccio, and professors, Thomas Redden and Tracey Forest, and as guest lecturers for the course Comparative Religions.MORE IN This Just In

This move is quickly pushing the stock within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit once VRNG takes out Wednesday's high of $3.14 with volume. Traders should now look for long-biased traders in VRNG once it sustains a move and close over $3.14 with volume that's near or well above 1,529,740 share. At last check, VRNG has hit a high today of $2.96 and volume is well above the average action. If we get that move soon, look for VRNG to re-test its recent high of $4.05 and possibly trend much higher. I would avoid any long grades if that breakout fails to hit or if VRNG moves back below today's low of $2.47 with heavy volume. Prev 3 of 8 Next

From Programming to Design
I am currently in the first year of my B.Sc. computer science degree. I want to get to work in America/Canada in game design/development of both video games and table top games. What should I do to get there? Does the degree will help me to get my foot in the door? How will I avoid becoming the next EA wife's husband?
Re: From Programming to Design
Build up a really good portfolio of games and/or applications and network. Make sure you learn and get a good working knowledge of the programming languages used in games at the moment.

Harry Potter Spinoff Movie Info
Everything We Know About Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter spinoff, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, is moving full-steam ahead to the big screen. The movie trilogy, with Eddie Redmayne taking the lead, follows a character who exists 70 years before Potter's time. Though Rowling said that Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is neither a prequel nor a sequel to Harry Potter's story, she confirmed that the new series is an "extension of the wizarding world" and that "the laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films." The movie is coming out later this year, and with JK Rowling revealing info about North American magic on Pottermore, we've compiled all that and everything else there is to know about the upcoming franchise.

A low-power tunable-band sub-harmonic direct-conversion receiver covering the whole Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure band is demonstrated using 0.18-μm CMOS technology. The RF band is selected by tuning varactors at the loads of the two-stage low-noise amplifier, while a wideband octet- phase generator is applied at the local oscillator (LO) port. The band tuning of both an LC tank and a transformer and the de- sign of an optimal transformer turn ratio are fully discussed in this paper. Vertical-NPN bipolar junction transistors in a standard CMOS process are used at the mixer switching core for excellent 1/f noise performance. As a result, the receiver achieves a 48/50 voltage gain and 4.5/4.8-dB noise figure with a 1/f noise corner of 70 kHz when the RF band is tuned to 5.2/5.8 GHz, respectively. The dc current consumption of the RF front-end (including the LO buffer) is 8.5 mA at a 1.8-V supply.

Diabetes Health Center
Diabetes 9 to 5: Tips to Help You Manage Your Diabetes at Work
When television's perennially popular Mary Richards walked into WJM's Minneapolis newsroom in 1970, she did more than show the world a single girl could "make it on her own." The award-winning actress who portrayed her -- Mary Tyler Moore -- also showed us diabetes and a career could coexist.
Moore was diagnosed with adult-onset type 1 diabetes in the 1960s, several years before her Emmy-winning show began. But that didn't stop Moore from pursuing her career or turning the world on with a smile.
Also See:
Diabetes is a serious disease that can cause debilitating nerve pain.
Here's some helpful information:
Today, millions of people afflicted with type 1 or type 2 diabetes are following in Moore's footsteps. They're refusing to let diabetes get in the way of their careers.
"I made a decision early in my life to find a career where diabetes and success could coexist," says Paul Strumph, MD. Strumph is chief medical officer of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. He also has type 1 diabetes. "I don't wear it like a badge," he says. "But clearly my career has not suffered because of my diabetes."
The same is true for San Diego resident Aaron Synder. Synder was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes when he was 20. Today, at age 30, he's a successful trader. "I have a job that requires me to be at work before 5:30 a.m., and I sometimes stay until 5:30 p.m.," Synder says. "I'm continuously surrounded by free candy, sodas, and chips on a daily basis. But I still manage to keep my blood sugar under control and not let my illness interfere with my job." In addition to his job, Synder, is a patient counselor and is also writing a book to help other people with diabetes gain control of their life and career.
It isn't always easy to do what Synder and Strumph do. Both agree that having diabetes does present some workday challenges. But, says endocrinologist Lauren Golden, MD, knowledge is the key that can turn obstacles into opportunities.
"The more you know about your diabetes," Golden says, "and the more you know about controlling your blood sugars, the better off you'll be." Golden is a diabetes specialist at the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City. She tells WebMD that the more you know, the better prepared you will be to deal with any work situations that arise, "including explaining your condition to others if you need to."
To help you put your best work-foot forward, WebMD asked a panel of patients and experts for tips and advice about controlling diabetes in the work place. What they said can help you gain control not just of diabetes, but of your occupation as well.
Thank you for submitting your response.
Good to Know is a new feature that allows members of the community to answer questions from WebMD experts, doctors, staff, and other community members. We're testing this new feature and we'd like your feedback.

LAKELAND, Fla. -- The irony was not lost on Rex Morgan.
Minutes after winning his fifth consecutive state championship at Arlington Country Day School (Jacksonville, Fla.) -- an 80-41 rout of Summit Christian (West Palm Beach, Fla.) -- the 60-year-old head coach shared a story about his first playoff experience at ACD while sitting in the hallways at The Lakeland Center.
"We played Malone and lost 100-37," Morgan told his two star players Wallace Judge and Rodney McGruder. "I think they hit 21 3-pointers in that game."
On Saturday, Morgan became the first coach in state history to win five championships in a row while his program tied a state record for consecutive titles. It's a record shared with Malone, a town of less than 2,000 located in Northwest Florida.
"It's a credit to the great student-athletes we've had here," Morgan said. "They've bought into the program and the style of ball we play. Malone has been a great program in this state for many years and it's an honor to share this record with them."
While the number of titles won by the Malone teams of the 1990s and the ACD teams of the 2000s may be the same, the schools' successes have been received very differently.
Malone is a revered program in the state of Florida, at one time considered to be an institution in the state tournament. Many of Malone's top players have been in the program since they were seventh graders.
Arlington Country Day is a Nike-sponsored program from one of the largest areas of the state. The Apaches have also made the state tournament an annual stop in their season, but they are perceived as bullies -- a team full of All-Americans and Division I talents beating up on schools in the state's smaller classification.
In the 13-year history of ACD, Morgan has been its only basketball head coach and he's seen the ups and downs of a program that has as many critics as it does basketball accolades.
In 2001, the Apaches, led by eventual Division I signees TeeJay Bannister and O.J. Gilmore were shocked in the finals by The Benjamin School (Palm Beach, Fla.). After the game, members of the Florida High School Activities Association witnessed ACD players throwing their second-place medals into the garbage. That incident, among others during the championship, led to the FHSAA's decision to place the Apaches on probation for three years. It's an incident Morgan says was "unfortunate."
For three years, arguably the best team in the state of Florida couldn't play for a state championship and for two years, they couldn't leave the state to play in national tournaments.
This past year, Morgan lost his close friend and assistant coach, Dale Lowe, to a heart attack, and in April was relieved of his duties by the school's former CEO, Deborah Lichtward, after he was accused of lying to students about the school's accreditation and financial status. He denied all the charges and was reinstated at the start of the 2008-09 school year.
ACD's critics, which include some of the coaches of teams it plays, have openly questioned Morgan's coaching abilities. (Those coaches will get a break next year, when ACD moves to Class 1A for two seasons.) The common feeling is that it doesn't take much coaching to win in the state's second smallest classification with a handful for Division I signees.
But Morgan's not concerned about the critics.
"I'm just old enough for that stuff not to bother me and many times I just consider the source," Morgan said. "There are a lot of misconceptions about this program and the student-athletes here, but they work hard and they have done well in the classroom.
"I always said I'd coach a McDonald's and Jordan All-Star game before I was named 2A Coach of the Year," he added. "Two years ago, I did coach in the Jordan game."
While Morgan doesn't take the criticism personally, some of his former players definitely do.
"Coach Morgan is a great coach and still is a great influence on my life," said Brian Hoff, a senior at Florida State. "I've been able to use the things that I learned at ACD and in that basketball program to enjoy success at FSU."
Hoff entered FSU's program as a walk-on and after four years earned a scholarship from coach Leonard Hamilton.
"There will always be critics of successful programs," Hoff added. "People will give ACD a bad reputation because so many kids transfer there, but who wouldn't want to go to a school that has that sort of success and is still very strong academically."
ACD's success and national schedule will continue to attract high-profile transfers. And don't expect the Apaches to give up their annual trip to Lakeland to play for the state championship anytime soon.
"I could see them winning eight, ten maybe twelve in a row if they wanted to," said Orlando Sentinel writer Buddy Collings. "The only thing that might stop them is the state cutting back the schedule and possibly limiting the amount of national tournaments they can play."
Last week the FHSAA announced a 20 percent cutback in schedules of every sport but football -- a move that was designed to save money in this struggling economy.
That ruling could convince ACD to move away from the Association and play a national schedule, a path chosen by state schools Montverde Academy and Oldsmar Christian.
But Morgan said that's not currently being considered, so expect to see Morgan in Lakeland again -- quite possibly hoisting up a sixth consecutive trophy.
Around the state championships
• One of the emerging stars from this past weekend's finals is junior guard Charles Hankerson Jr. of Coral Reef. The 6-foot-4 guard already has offers from Auburn and VCU but should expect to get more after scoring 27 points and grabbing nine rebounds to lead the Barracudas to a 6A championship over Olympia.
• Springstead failed to become the state's only team to have a perfect season when the Eagles fell to Cocoa 75-60 in the 4A finals. Cocoa, which won a Class 3A football championship in December, became the first school to win the football-basketball double since former FSU standout and NFL first-round pick Peter Warrick led Bradenton Southeast to a similar feat in 1994-1995.

Commentary: And the Beatings Go On
I've watched the tape of a Washington State Police officer punching a 17-year-old Black girl in the face at least a dozen times, and I still can't make any sense of it. I cannot figure out how this man, who was trained to restrain suspects, finds himself incapable of subduing this young lady any other way than a fist to her face. How can someone so incompetent be allowed to police the streets, protected by both his gun and his badge? What's nearly as troubling as the assault itself is the fact that the altercation started when the officer stopped a group of young Black girls in order to issue a jaywalking citation. Even if the young ladies overreacted, the aggression the officer shows on the tape makes it hard to believe that the officer approached them respectfully. How could such a nominal charge lead to such a volatile situation? Perhaps it's because it was a group of young Black girls, who are so often the target of police attention for infractions as small as existing publicly and breathing. The video shows the officer tussling with the victim's 19-year-old cousin for at least 30 seconds as she resisted his attempts to cuff her. It's mind-blowing that he wasn't able to restrain a woman who looked to be at least 40 pounds lighter than he is. He slams her down onto a car and flings her around like a rag doll, and yet he can't get her cuffed. When the young victim makes the regrettable choice to try and defend her cousin, the officer slugs her in the face as if she were a man his own size. I cannot imagine any set of circumstances in which a White officer would have punched a 17-year-old White girl in the face, and I'd wager that a Black male cop using that sort of force on one would be placed so far under the jail he'd see China. If anyone can watch that tape and tell you that the officer was justified in punching that child in the face, I'd suggest you check the trunk of their car for some white hoods and wooded crosses. While I can't emphasize enough the importance of teaching your children how to interact with the police, it's extremely hard to ask people to respect the law when the people who are paid to uphold it treat Black people so unjustly. The officer in question took an oath to serve and protect the young women on that tape. Did he approach them in that spirit or did he roll up on them for jaywalking as if it were some violent infraction? So long as the police treat Black people like second class citizens or natural born suspects, stories such as this will happen again and again. Our community's hostility toward officers of the law will continue. Good cops will be treated like pigs by the people and good people will be treated like criminals by the pigs. Until police departments nationwide address the problem of racial bias on the force, don't expect a change to come anytime soon.

The video's full justification on YouTube:
"I Just Want to Ride Bikes With YOU"
This surprise wedding music video was created for my husband Todd Evan Krieger in Venice Beach, California and unveiled for him at our wedding reception in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Other shots shown are in Malibu, Laguna Beach, Tahoe, Ixtapa, Burning Man, San Francisco, Santa Monica, Topanga Canyon, Taos, Vancouver, Peru, and the Galapagos Islands.
I'd like to give a major shout out to Panos Stoumpos whom hit the pavement with me capturing shots; he's a creative rock star. Steve McCormick is super talented and was uber helpful in the studio when recording, and John David Heeg buttoned everything up with his rad editing skills.
Hats off to our beautiful cat Balka…and of course my amazing husband Todd whose love inspired this video!!! Everything's okay-o when I'm with Tadeo.

Top Call Center BPO Industry News 5 Qualities of a Good Call Center Agent
|5 Qualities of a Good Call Center Agent
|Written by Michin
|Monday, 29 September 2008
Second is personality. Outgoing and friendly personality are the indicators of having a good personality. Agent must be people-oriented because they are going to deal with different kinds of people. Telephone personality is also significant in call center industry. Agent must know how to manage the irate and angry customers.
Third is the right seat on the right bus. It means agents must understand individual differences. They must know how to consider the uniqueness of their customers with one another to be able to give their customers the quality services.
Fourth is multiple hats required. In this quality, multi tasking is emphasized. Agents must know how to work in different medium at the same time. While talking with the customer, they will encode the data, they will write in a paper and they will analyze the information that they must give and they must listen from the customers.
Lastly is being learned or learners? Flexibility is important. Agents must be supple in dealing with different kinds of customers. They must give their customers the best quality of services at all times.
Agents having those 5 qualities can be a successful call center agent. Call center must be thankful having those agents with good qualities because agents are frontliners, the success of a call centers depends on the performance of the agents. [via]

I use a bunch of nginx + php-fpm on a server running Debian Lenny x86_64. Sometimes the PHP-FPM's processes loads all 8 cores at 100% and this load does not fall until to forced restart PHP-FPM. How can I determine what is the problem of such jumps load? In the PHP-FPM's logs is nothing unusual. Version of PHP - 5.3.3.
This might actually be a problem with your application, not php-fpm itself, so you may want to look there first, as well as double check your current config files for php-fpm, and make sure you don't have high I/O wait on your system.

Ask any teacher to identify their students' favorite question. The answer is universal: "Why do I need to learn this?" The Research Experience for Teachers (RET) Program, funded through NSF and LTER, seeks to give teachers the tools to answer this question in ways that excite and engage their students.
To promote analysis and synthesis of LTER data, the NCO requests proposals for Synthesis Working Groups, with research to begin before May 2017. Funding is available for 2-4 projects of up to 2 years in duration.
Of the approximately 400 Gigatonnes of carbon released into the atmosphere over the past 200 years, only half has remained in the atmosphere. The other half has been absorbed by the earth's natural carbon sinks— global oceans, soils, and plants— slowing the amount of climate change we might otherwise observe.
The United Nations estimates that 33% of global soils are moderately to severely degraded, and that given average rates of erosion, topsoil could be gone in 60 years. In response, the UN General Assembly declared 2015 the International Year of Soils.
Global population continues to grow: the United Nations expects an additional 2.5 billion people by 2050, all of whom will be absorbed into urban areas. When demographers add rural to urban migrants to that number, they project an additional 3.1 billion city dwellers by mid-century.
What will the future feel like in our forests? In six plots at the Hubbard Brook Long Term Ecological Research Site in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the trees already know. Dr. Pamela Templer has created a robust simulation of the climate—warmer summer temperatures and later snowfall—that these forests will experience within the century.
The IPCC projects that, even if humans succeed in keeping temperatures below the 2°C target set in Paris, sea level will rise 0.28 to 0.61 m this century.
From August 7 to August 12, the Ecological Society of America will hold its annual meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This year's theme, "Novel Ecosystems in the Anthropocene," will build on discussions initiated during last year's centennial meeting, "Ecological Science at the Frontier."

Following on the Ecological Theory working group at the 2015 LTER All Scientists Meeting, Evelyn Gaiser and John Kominoski have developed a syllabus for a distributed graduate seminar. The seminar series will engage scientists from key theoretical fields of ecology to speak about how long term research informs the evolution of that theory.
One strength of the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network is that it reveals patterns and connections that are only apparent over years and decades. As a national network, it also offers extraordinary opportunities to make comparisons among ecosystems. The Network Communications Office announces the funding of three LTER synthesis proposals, which combine existing data to yield fresh insights into how ecological systems work.
Manuscripts due November 7, 2016
The International LTER Network is holding its first global open science meeting in Kruger National Park, South Africa. Recognizing the value of this event for building international scientific collaboration, inspiring fresh ideas, and expanding the Network's reach, NSF provided a supplement to help support attendance of some LTER scientists at this landmark meeting.
Hubbard Brook LTER investigator Myron Mitchell talks with Living on Earth's Steve Curwood about how isotope data from Hubbard Brook's 40 year history of streamwater samples helped confirm the hypothesis that the source of precipitation in the northeastern U.S. has been changing as the arctic has been melting.
In 2008, Xueying "Shirley" Han had just started her first field season as a PhD candidate at the Moorea Coral Reef Long-Term Ecological Research Site in French Polynesia when an outbreak of crown-of-thorns seastar (Acanthaster planci) decimated the coral in the fore reef, the seaward slope of the reef where the largest and most diverse corals tend to thrive. In 2010, when Cyclone Oli hit the reef, Han wondered which way the scale would tip: could the coral recover from both these impacts? Or would macroalgae move in and dominate?
Sometimes, it helps to remember that trees are more than nitrogen, carbon, biomass, productivity. For artists participating in the multimedia exhibit "Rot: The Afterlife of Trees" at the Corvallis Arts Center, they are inspiration.
A phalanx of open-science advocates (including Harvard Forest LTER's Aaaron Elison) recently published a Science Policy Forum full of broad principles and specific proposals on how the scientific community might cultivate a more open, transparent, and collaborative approach to data archiving and sharing. And they didn't give anybody a pass on physical samples either.
For nearly half a century, ecologists have struggled to explain the relationship between ecosystem productivity and species richness. In a recent paper in Nature, USGS Ecologist James Grace and colleagues have managed to account for the many variables and confirm the long-suspected connection.
The International LTER Network is pleased to announce its first global Open Science Meeting to be held from 9-13 October 2016 in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. Registration will be open to all experts involved in LTER, interested researchers, and stakeholders. The deadline for abstracts is March 15, 2016.

The Secret of the Junkpile
Cheng Heng Restaurant
448 University Ave. W., St. Paul; 222-5577
Just as the pirate always has a green parrot on his shoulder, just as the Headless Horseman always has a jack-o'-lantern in his free hand, so I, too, have an ever-present companion and leitmotif--the pile of papers at the side of my desk. Oh, you should see it. Things I don't want to deal with but can't throw away; story ideas, half-finished manuscripts, unanswered correspondence, coupons for mini-golf. It's like a scruffy little ghost that rises and falls in direct relation to how on top of things I am. At times it gets downright frightening, threatening to bury me and all my ambitions under its crashing, papery weight. Sometimes I think that when I die, they'll bury me with it, like Wyatt Earp and his six-shooters.
Anyhoo, I was trying to beat that scruffy ghost into submission the other day and I came, again, upon a letter a reader sent me about a little Cambodian restaurant up on University, a letter I have read at least half a dozen times and which invariably causes me vast seconds of unease before I bury it once more. I was on the verge of again re-interring it when I finally paused to think: Why on earth does a letter about a restaurant cause me such distress? Because I don't know beans about Cambodian food, and for me the very word Cambodia conjures up deeply disturbing associations: Pol Pot, the Killing Fields, civil war. Of course that is patently, preposterously unfair. It's not like I pause on the doorsteps of French restaurants and muse: Robespierre, The Reign of Terror, "Off with their heads!" On this realization I raced over to Cheng Heng, and found a small, immaculately clean family restaurant run by husband-and-wife team Kunrath and Kevin Lam, a peach of a place where one can eat pretty darn well, for cheap. After a series of visits to the bright, friendly spot I developed a great fondness for a number of the Cambodian dishes, like my new A-1 absolute favorite beef salad, plear, ($5.75.)
Plear is a lime-infused combination of thinly sliced seared beef, wafer-thin pieces of celery and radishes, crunchy, just-sprouted beans, and red and green bell peppers, all unified by a sauce of chili pepper and lemongrass, and finally brightened by handfuls of whole-leaf herbs like basil, lemon basil, and mint. It's as bright and lively a flavor combination as you can get on one plate, and since it's served with a plate of rice, it also makes a fulfilling meal. Cheng Heng's spring rolls ($2.50 for two) are some of the best in town, made to order and filled with the scads of herbs I've come to know as the Lams' trademark. They are served with generous cups of that rice-vinegar/carrot/chopped peanut dressing other places ladle out by the thimbleful. Papaya salad ($3.50) is a tasty, punchy combination of crisp, shredded green papaya, tomatoes, and a spicy chili sauce. Loth noodles--quarter-inch-thick translucent squares of rice dough--are a new favorite of mine, since they make a harmonious, savory cross between lo mein and chow fun. For lo mein they are seared at high heat and combined in a mild sauce with carrots, celery, and your choice of pork, beef, or shrimp ($5.25.) Chha mussels ($7.25) are an abundant portion of green-lip mussels served with scallions in something similar to a black-bean sauce.
My groups ended up ordering most of what we chose from the picture menu/photo album you can request along with the regular menu, and our biggest wild card by this method was probably the chha kroeng beef, ($5.69) a dish that looked merely dark and plain in the picture, but turned out to consist of crisp slices of beef in a piquant lemongrass sauce, topped with a nice textural contrast of chopped peanuts and firm seared green-pepper chunks.
Not all Cheng Heng's dishes have thus impressed me. The curry noodle soup (quob poob, $4.85 for a large bowl) I tried was a very, very sweet coconut-milk curry far too heavy for my palate. The banh hoy ($4.95) appeared to be merely a different arrangement of the spring-roll ingredients--shrimp, herbs, pork, steamed rice noodles, often cucumber--with lettuce leaves for a wrap. Cheng Heng's menu also offers a page of standard American-Chinese dishes that I didn't venture into, in part because I tend to think that life is too short to eat moo goo gai pan ($6.25), and in part because the big plate of pork fried rice ($4.95) I ordered one night was distinctly unspectacular. (Vegetarians, please note that the Cambodian vegetarian dishes are hidden away at the very end of the menu, after all the Chinese dishes.)
In the end, Cheng Heng not only established my concept of Cambodian food--which no longer sounds strange to me at all--but it also got me into a nice, rah-rah-go-St. Paul! mood: After a few visits to the restaurant, you can't help but root and cheer for the Lams. Kunrath Lam is an Augsburg College grad with an international business background and a charming, fluty voice. Seven months pregnant with the couple's first child, she works at the restaurant seven days a week and trills happily at the cash register: "I don't feel tired working because it's mine." Kevin Lam works all day in the jewelry shop attached to the restaurant, then finishes his 18-hour day waiting tables and cleaning up. And I can't even keep my desk clear!
So St. Paul has proved to me the wisdom of the ancients: An unexamined life leads to a messy desk and no food; an examined life, to delicious plear and good work-habit role models. The only question left: Exactly what culinary and moral message is my sock drawer trying to send me?
GLAMOUR, INTRIGUE, MINI-MALLOWS: When I'm not leading a whirlwind life of glamour and intrigue, I'm wrestling with giant packages from corporate food conglomerates. Why, just the other day I got a box of individually wrapped Christmas cookies--and two rolls of food wrap--from the good folks at a major food-wrap producer, who think that I write about food wrap. I don't, and now I don't buy it either, because I get it free in the mail. I'm a pinprick of a financial black hole to a great multinational's marketing arm. Glamour.
Other mail treats? Corporate marinades with ingredient lists as long as your average Napoleon biography. Boxes of cookies with a New Package Design! A jar of fish seasoning that has been taking up space in my spice shelf ever since some PR hack mailed it to me. I can't throw it out because that would be Wasteful and invite karmic retribution. I can't use it because I like fish too much. Curdling corporate fish spice. Intrigue.
Why do these useless things come to someone who's never ever written about fish spice? Obviously to prove how outnumbered I am. For every one of me there are 200 PR flacks sending out mailings about this major fast-food producer's french fry redesign, and faxes about how I--or rather you, dear reader--can buy a book and "Get a Lifestyle." (Missing a lifestyle? Contact me immediately for a list of curative purchases.)
But then, every once in a while, the PR people triumph and I'm captivated by their slick packages. Like the one that came from the presumably swelling white halls of "Jet-PuffedTM University." Did you know that in a world that purchases more than 300 million bags of Jet-PuffedTM marshmallows every year, we are among the four superpowers? According to the pedagogues of Jet-PuffTM U, the Top 10 marshmallow towns are 1) Los Angeles, 2) New York, 3) Chicago, 4) Minneapolis, 5) Detroit, 6) Philadelphia, 7) Salt Lake City/Boise (tie), 8) San Francisco, 9) Denver, and 10) Seattle. I don't know what Jet-PuffedTM thought we should glean from this information, but here's what I took from it:We are kicking major metropolitan ass. Too bad, so sad, Dallas! We're kicking your beantown butts, Boston! San Diego? New Orleans? Washington, D.C.? Losers, losers, losers.
So the time is upon us, comrades, the time to pull ahead of the Big Three and assert our marshmallow superiority. We have that greatness in us. So what if New York has 13 times more people in its greater metropolitan area? We can eat 13 times more than their worst nightmare. Eat smarter. Start incorporating marshmallows into all your foods. Whenever you order a Caesar salad, ask if it comes with marshmallows. (According to Jet PuffTM, fully 25 percent of marshmallows added to foods end up in salads--and what says "salad" in 1998 more than Caesar?) When waiters ask if you want fresh-ground pepper on your pasta say: No thanks, but have you any marshmallows? Demand marshmallows at each and every opportunity, and eventually we'll have them in finger bowls on the tables. But don't stop there! This Thanksgiving put marshmallows in the sweet potatoes--but also in the green beans and atop every bird! Use them to insulate your windows. They make great packing peanuts! Grout your bathroom with easily made finger taffy! We can rule the marshmallow world. And I've invented, to toast our coming marshmallow superiority, a drink which I'd like to call the Minneapolitan.
Frost a martini glass, margarita-salt style, with a cinnamon-sugar mixture. Take one shot of vodka and another of chocolate liqueur or Kahlua, mix in a cocktail shaker with ice, and decant into the cinnamon-sugar-frosted glass. Garnish with three fire-roasted mini-marshmallows on a toothpick. Kick back and plan our righteous victory dance.

Indian Taco Bell uh oh...inb4
Morning fellers
Interesting flavor rating, Ive heard this flavor is what CCCD should have tasted like. Regardless Im hoping to snag a box of DCC soon, nice review Waffles.

Haven't taken the new PreSurge however the old formula was very solid...
Jelly, Im going to have to fork over the cash and buy some tubs of Phase8 one of these days. Haven't Purchased anything besides UP 2.0 in a year.
In for a Review
Homemade Mass Gainer > All...Eat Moar Food
EC Stack > all
PES Enhanced, AppNut UNCUT or IForce Conquer...They are all top notch in the Focus/Energy Categories. SNS FocusXT is also another alternative.
Trying tomorrow as well, would probably work as a pre with a good blend of coffee.(no generic folgers)
Bump, just made this and it was delicious. Separated 1/2 cup and added vanilla to make a couple of pancakes and WOW this is delicious stuff.
^ This and how do these protonz rank against Meatie's Favorite Protonz?
Im just here for the Lulz
Just received my sweet, sweet care package from Gamma Labs and The Fug. Appreciate it fellas.
How much water are you guys using for "optimal flavor", I know it says 12-16oz per package but I know...

On 5713 & 5838 kernels, that's currently only possible using SCEEE and MAEEE, which is far from ideal. Additionally, UDDAE wouldn't suffer from reset-on-eject...
It requires a suitably exploited ST.DB file plus the xboxdash.xbe and six XIP* files from the UberDash (or SlaYers 2.5's 4920, the XBE via a patch**).
The ST.DB's the challenge... since UDDAE's triggered first by easter-egging the xboxdash.xbe (as settings_adoc.xip in the 5960 dash) then triggering the audio exploit (via the Uber4920 dash) the memory layout isn't what the existing ST.DB was coded for,I presume, as the Xbox reboots.
Anyone interested in attempting to get it working (maybe by re-coding rmenhal's hulkstdb.asm***) and/or have any questions/comments?
* default, keyboard, mainmenu5, music_copy3, music_playedit2 and music2 (place in xboxdashdata.17cdc100).

"Old Iron Barstow Rail Bridge" Top 5 Page for this destination Barstow Things to Do Tip by Yaqui
Barstow Things to Do: 16 reviews and 48 photos
I surmise this bridge was constructed around the turn of the century when the automobile came into play. There is not much history out there the tells about this bridge other than I think was built when services were needed to connect main street to the Harvey House rebuilt in 1911. So you can imagine how very old it is and still to this day connects the city to the other side of the tracks. It has a walking area fenced from the road, but still not an ideal bridge to walk on, other than to catch a look at the trains as they come and go from above, but a wonderful spot to take photographs of the trains and the Harvey House.
So, be carefule please with traffic, because they do wiz by way too fast and not abiding the speed limit posted on this road!
Address: First Street Barstow, Ca
Directions: Interstate 15/40: Take Barstow Road north (toward Main Street). Main Street turn left (west), go three blocks, then right (north) on 1st Avenue.

Future of Critical Mass: LOL!
They probably want to carry guns and light artilery during their next ride.
Is it me or is Tim the only councilmember who knows what the hell they are doing up there?
The only thing that will change this is if cyclists arm themselves with hunting rifles and shotguns on bike racks.
The "cycling community" is represented by the city council, not the Cascade Bicycling Club or Critical Mass. The vast majority of cyclists do not belong to any club, organization, or "scene". No one has elected the CBC or CM to anything.
Except the bikers were the criminals first, by illegally surrounding and blocking his car.
Critical Mass is unproductive.
Critical Mass endangers regular bikers who don't act like terrorists.
The rest of us need to endure animosity generated by bikers behaving like the selfish arrogant short-sited assholes they are.
Critical Mass makes me more afraid than ever to ride my bike. So I've been driving again. Nice work, guys.
I agree that Critical Mass has outlived its novelty. I think most of the riders have a vague idea that they want to promote awareness of cyclists sharing the road with bikes, but that's made pointless by their taking over of the road and their mob mentality.
"criminals"? "terrorists"? counterproductive's rather hysterical and insane rantings are can only come from someone who's never seen a critical mass, or has some personal grudge against it (perhaps a friend of the man who attempted vehicular manslaughter). Such false statements should be seen for what they are: idiotic and counterproductive.
@6 spewed:
Except the bikers were the criminals first, by illegally surrounding and blocking his car.
RCW 46.61.300 states:
Starting parked vehicle.
No person shall start a vehicle which is stopped, standing or parked unless and until such movement can be made with reasonable safety.
Critical Mass rioted. After they started to riot, the people they were attacking defended themselves with the only means they had. Once their victim was defenseless, one of the rioters tried to murder him with a blow to the back of the head with a heavy steel weapon.
After Critical Mass riots again, maybe people will start to see this clearly. The Stranger's shitty, agenda-driven reporting will be partly to blame when more people get hurt, by the way.
elonchos, are you the driver by any chance or some other asshole who shouldn't be on the roads?
And another useless, uninformed posting by elenchos.....
call tim b at 684-8806 and tell him that CM should be allowed to parade like anyone else with a permit.
productive - i've seen them and they have plenty of thugs among them -
Uh oh. We're about to see more proof that riding a bike makes you stressed-out, angry and, a little out of touch. So much for a healthy way of life. Nobody has a shorter fuse than an avid bike rider, I tell you what.
And yes, I am a huge asshole who probably shouldn't be allowed near a car, or any other machinery. Yet what will you say when I'm proven right about ths? Will you come back and admit you were wrong?
hey "brilliant". there's plenty of thugs in cars who are much more dangerous. anyone who actually has seen a critical mass (and is not lying about it) has to admit that thugs are in the minority at the event. The overwhelming majority of participants are peaceful.
The Seattle Bicycle Advisory Board, which "advises the City of Seattle on all matters related to bicycling" wasn't present?
productive the thug,
nice guys that got in the fight with the disabled people in SF or the nice people that fought with the undercover detectives here or the one that bashed the guy from behind with a U lock
right just a bunch of nice folks out breaking the law for fixie rights
Nice that the city is more that willing to let a bunch of hooligans inconvenience and assault people going about their day.
brilliant (@18), CM isn't about "fixie rights" - maybe stick to the facts instead of making (more) false claims.
giffy (@19): every day I notice that the city is willing to let of bunch of motorist inconvenience people. why?
Sounds like the end result of the Grand Wizard's long winded testimony is, "We don't want to do anything. We're hoping this blows over and is forgotten." That's a lot of verbage to defend laziness.
@16: That may be, but you're judged by loudest voices. Two (non-Seattle) CM problems I've witnessed:
- Right outside my house when a neighbor was leaving to pick up his kids, a CM rider blocked him in his parking space and was screaming at him to get the fuck out of his fucking car and walk. This lasted for over ten minutes.
- I was crossing the street en route to an after work function and had to pass *through* a CM swarm. One of the riders smacked me on the back of my head and when I shared my, um, feelings in a loud way involving gestures and riders pedalling by me booed *me*.
Great people. Should I judge these CM rallies by the assholes or just the people who look the other way when the assholes misbehave?
yeesh, sorry for the grammar in 22.
@22, care to cite exactly when and where you saw a biker blocking and "screaming" at your neighbor for over ten minutes?
seeing as it typically takes anywhere from 20 seconds to 3 minutes for the mass to pass by a specific point, it seems pretty strange that a biker would be blocking a point for over 10 minutes.
@ 17 The Seattle Bicycle Advisory Board WAS in fact present at the meeting. Post has been updated.
Yes, Oakley Blvd. in Chicago's Ukrainian Village. It was summer of last year, June or July. The entire Mass took well over 15 minutes to pass my building, though I can't speculate as to why. The stream of bikers was long but thin. That seems typical of the rallies on side streets around here.
@9 for the win.
Just because other people are being a-holes doesn't mean you get to be one too.
And driving, unlike biking, is a privilege.
@24: Further to that, even if it had been three minutes, don't you think that one decent co-rider could have stopped and asked the belligerent biker to move on? If the point is establishing an empowered community, why behave like a bunch of see-nothing, hear-nothing, not-my-problem suburbanites?
And why am I being assaulted as a pedestrian with the right of way a month or two later?
@26: "The stream of bikers was long but thin."
Oh, but I thought you wanted riders to ride two abreast, per the law. If 300+ riders did that, then your buddy is gonna have to wait longer for them to pass than if the mass was bunched together and passed by in two minutes.
Also, I mistakenly thought you were referring to a Seattle ride. That Chicago ride may have been gobs larger, and thus longer to pass by a point.
The Chicago CM may be poorly run or just really popular. As a pedestrian/public transport rider who would love to feel safe enough to bike in my hometown, I completely sympathize. My best friend was a bike messenger a decade ago. I haven't driven in nine years and don't even have a license anymore.
But CM (here, at least, if my experience is any indication) seems to be undermining itself and hopefully Seattle's contingent will be able to avoid the same pitfalls.
eric sic, Seattle's critical mass, like CM everywhere, is not poorly run. It is not run at all. There is no leadership to speak of. It is nothing but a gang of young dudes looking for some action.
If a grownup tried to corral them and make them behave, they'd either fight, or go elsewhere looking for more of their kind of "fun." The only issue is whether or not publications like The Stranger advertise how cool it is and attract more boys and young men out to take part in some violence, or whether it is allowed to peter our and be forgotten.
another fine work of fiction, elenchos. I look forward to reading your entire novel!
stinkbug. Youignorantslut.
First off, where in any of your posts do you provide evidence? References? Links? You, sir, are the one who is bullshitting everyone.
Let's get back to your question "every day I notice that the city is willing to let of bunch of motorist [sic] inconvenience people. why?"
The answer is that we live in a democracy.
This is a democracy. The people elected a government, which passed laws that say how the roads paid for with our taxes, which the people consented to, may be used. The adolescent male and young adult male minority of the bicycle minority disagrees with what the majority has decided. Fine. Wonderful, even. Dissent is good.
But that does not justify violence.
Civil disobedience is justified when you are disobeying an unjust law. It is not unjust to ask that everyone on the roads stop and give others a chance to move through an intersection. It is not unjust to have certain regulations for how bicycles can move on the roads. Parade permits are not unjust.
Stinkbug, you sir, are a twat. A bullshitting, simpering twat. That is all. Good day, sir.
I SAID good day, sir.
elenchos @33 Gene Wilder'ed:

The adolescent male and young adult male minority of the [motor vehicle majority] disagrees with what the majority has decided. Fine. Wonderful, even. Dissent is good.
But that does not justify violence.
I'm glad we all agree that motorized vehicles running over other vehicles isn't acceptable behavior and is in violation of the law.
I sincerely hope the city decides to move forward with criminal proceedings against a man that literally ran over a human being with his car.
If not, I fear vigilante justice will continue to be the only way to punish road raging drivers in Seattle. My deepest sympathies go out to victims of this form of punishment.
thanks for horking my blockquote even after i previewed it, slog. here:
"This is a democracy. The people elected a government, which passed laws that say how the roads paid for with our taxes, which the people consented to, may be used.

Released: May 01st, 1998
Running Time: 123
Director: Marco (I)
Company: Amazing Pictures
Distribution Companies: Metro Distributors
Cast: Dave Hardman, Kelly Jean, Misty Rain, Rick Masters, Julian (I), Anais Nielsen, Peter North, Paul Cox, John Samuels, Cindy Starlight, Jeremy Steele (I), Keno, Jonathan Morgan, Gerard Sky, Orchid, Sean Rider, Jark Hammer, Mark Davis, Liza Harper, Stacy Valentine, Nikki Tyler, Brittany Andrews, Disney, Julian (II), Giner, Guy Di Silva
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
Nikki Tyler hosts a weekly adult entertainment program featuring clips of sex scenes culled from Metro's stable of helmers. They run the gamut from Kris Kramski's Euro-porn to Jace Rocker's campy comedy Makin' Whoopee to John T. Bone's raw fuckfests. In the middle is a girl/girler with Metro contract girls Tyler and Misty Rain.
Each segment is worthy of an individual review, but "Fireman," featuring Stacy Valentine and Mark Davis, gets extra points for sizzling sex scene shot through a wall of flames. Sex Talk director Marco has included his "Industrious" clip of Tyler and Peter North, wherein she's the girl seducing North's construction worker on a high-tech scaffold. This is noteworthy for the spectacular facial North unloads on Tyler's upturned face in slow motion.
Why can't all wrap-around tapes be this good?
