Princeton: Use Coal, LNG, Non-Food Crop Biofuel Blends as Corn Ethanol Replacement

Princeton says energy-dense slew of renewable and fossil resources could solve the nation's fuel shortages
Princeton University
is injecting itself into the
corn ethanol debate
, suggesting that the U.S. is moving in a very mistaken direction. In a new study
as a whitepaper in the
AIChE Journal
, the team suggests that 130 synthetic fuel plants built across the country could replace "dirty" corn ethanol, cut fuel shortages, and cut carbon emissions by a whopping 50 percent.
I. Synthetic Fuel -- a Corn Ethanol Killer?
The proposed synthetic fuel would be a blend of liquefied coal, liquid natural gas, and
non-food crop biofuels
. While that doesn't sound much like crude oil, the researchers say the synthetic fuel blend would actually be much closer chemically to traditional gas than corn ethanol, reducing the likelihood of ECU incompatibility in older vehicles leading to engine damage.
The downside is sticker shock; the team, led by
Christodoulos Floudas
, a professor of
chemical and biological engineering
at Princeton, suggests that the total cost of the plan might be $1.1T USD. Thus the team suggests a slow rollout of synthetic fuels over the next 30 to 40 years.

Professor Floudas remarks, "The goal is to produce sufficient fuel and also to cut CO2 emissions, or the equivalent, by 50 percent. The question was not only can it be done, but also can it be done in an economically attractive way. The answer is affirmative in both cases."
His team estimates that as the price of crude oil continues to creep up in upcoming decades, and as process improvements continue in producing synthetic fuels, that the alternative fuel slew will be cost competitive.
Chemical engineering graduate student Richard Baliban, a lead author on past papers for the team who graduated in 2012, remarks, "Even including the capital costs, synthetic fuels can still be profitable. As long as crude oil is between $60 and $100 per barrel, these processes are competitive depending on the feedstock."
II. 1920s German High-Temperature Method Repurposed
The basis of the Princeton plan is to use a method dubbed the "Fischer-Tropsch process". The technique was developed in the 1920s in Germany to turn coal into liquid fuel; it uses heat to liquefy the solid fossil fuel into a liquid resource.
Complex chemical reactions catalyzed by inexpensive catalysts (nickel or iron) are employed at temperatures of around 1,000 to 1,300 deg. C to convert the solid fossil fuel into a liquid slew of hydrocarbon chains, plus useful leftovers, like waxes.

The team added a new twist to the process, reinjecting the waste carbon dioxide, fueling more hydrocarbon formation, and cutting emissions. Heavy metal and sulfur -- typical pollutants in crude oil -- are eliminated during the synthetic fuel production process, making for a cleaner burn.
The team estimates that currently the price of synthetic fuel would be around $83.58 USD in Kansas, one key state targeted for future production.
Prof. Floudas suggest the alternative fuel is the perfect trick for switching the U.S. of volatile, expensive foreign oil sources, commenting, "His is an opportunity to create a new economy. The amount of petroleum the U.S. imports is very high. What is the price of that? What other resources to do we have? And what can we do about it?"

Dress Designer (from left to right): Watters
Only the best-dressed stars were on the red carpet at the 2013 Oscars, and we know you want to steal their looks, but who? Jennifer Lawrence continued to follow the pink wedding gown trend in her Dior Haute couture dress, while many others like Amanda Seyfried and Sandra Bullock decided to adorn themselves in lace and beading with Alexander McQueen and Elie Saab gowns, respectively. Don't forget the sequins on Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman's gowns or how Charlize Theron rocked the peplum, which is one of our top 10 wedding dress trends this year. Wow, what a fashionable night to remember.
Hypothetically speaking, which actress's gown would you wear at your wedding? Let us know in the poll below!

From 2007 - 2013 I edited the English editions (grammar, spelling, and wiki appearance) of KubuntuGuide and UbuntuGuide, with the help of the excellent contributions by the users who added them. In 2012 I merged KubuntuGuide.org / Kubuntuguide.info with UbuntuGuide.org. During the same period I also ran a website called Ubuntu Doctors Guild. In early 2012 I moved some of my systems to Debian (with a KDE desktop) while maintaining multiple Kubuntu installations.
As of early 2014 I am only intermittently involved with the maintenance of this website.
I have been interested in distributed networks ("cloud computing") using Debian/Ubuntu/Kubuntu, especially using the Logical Volume Manager, RAID, and datacenter management tools that are useful for small- and medium-sized businesses.
I am also an advocate for open-source (GPL-licensed) software solutions in health care, as a basis for a United States national health care system. I have served on a national standards committee regarding Health Information Technology in the US. A few years ago I created the (K)Ubuntu-derived Ubuntu-Med system (which is no longer maintained in its original form) and have now decided to focus on the Debian-Med toolset instead, incorporating generic server functions into it.
I originally wrote software and software documentation for a large aerospace project and then for several military projects.
I was a UNIX and VMS user in the 1980s and networked two large organizations during the network protocol (TCP/IP) standardization period of the late 80s. I then made a detour to MS Windows for 10 years. Recently I have used Debian/(K)ubuntu over the past several years, on a network of triple boot systems (which includes multiple Windows-based boxes).
My home is wired using LinuxMCE (Media Center Edition) 7.10 running on Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), X10 controllers, surveillance cameras and motion detectors, and distributed multimedia.
My medium-large organization (which is healthcare-related) uses Debian/Ubuntu servers with Kolab for groupware, Kubuntu desktops, Drupal for collaborative web content, MediaWiki as a wiki, and WorldVistA as an electronic medical record system. We have also used DAViCal as a group calendar server, with Mozilla Thunderbird/Lightning and Sunbird as clients. I have several advanced medical certifications, as well as several other degrees. I regularly collaborate with state and national governmental agencies (in the US) regarding health information technology.
I also regularly contribute to Wikipedia, especially on specialized software topics, including electronic medical records. Most of my philosophy in life comes from Buckaroo Banzai. I currently live and work in Northern California.
My involvement with this website is intermittent; my response time may be slow. Please contact one of the other Administrators if you need immediate attention. However, I will respond to sponsorship requests. Also, if you are having trouble making a submission to the 'guide, send it to me by email and I'll put it in for you (in a few days).
Live like you're gonna die tomorrow and study like you're gonna live forever.
Until the Case is Sol-ved!
Police Chief Lundallah: He pulled himself across the floor using this wire. How else could he have avoided our radar field?
Inspector Clouseau: Yes, how else? Hmm. Of course, he would have needed a very slippery floor to do that...
Police Chief Lundallah: Therefore the wax.
Inspector Clouseau: The wax? ... AGHH! [Clouseau slips on the waxed floor and falls to the ground]
Col. Sharky: Are you all right, Inspector?
Inspector Clouseau: [on his knees] Of course I'm alright. I'm... examining the wax. [sniffs the wax on the floor] Have you taken a sample of this wax?
Police Chief Lundallah: Wax is wax!
Inspector Clouseau: See, this is where you are wrong. Wax is NOT just wax. In this case it is a clue. Domestic wax, Belgian Wax, French Wax, English Wax...
Col. Sharky: Ah, the Inspector is right. Have the wax tested immediately.

Theater review by Helen Shaw. 59E59 (see Off Broadway). By Mike Bartlett. Dir. Clare Lizzimore. With ensemble cast. 55mins. No intermission.
Even in Shakespeare's heyday, the Globe couldn't outsell the bearbaiting pit down the street. Sorry, poets, but that's just what the people like—blood on the sand. In savvy fashion, Mike Bartlett's vicious comedy Bull caters to our baser instincts with an allegorical deathmatch between business colleagues. The odds against our protagonist are stacked from the outset: Rumple-faced sad sack Thomas (Sam Troughton) never quite gets his footing against opponents Tony (Adam James), a shark in wolf's clothing, and Isobel (Eleanor Matsuura), a snaky number with a talent for undermining. ("Oh!" she says faux-sympathetically to already-terrified Thomas. "You've got something on your face!")
As the title makes clear, we're here to watch a bit of sport. Bartlett's similarly Darwinian Cock (in which he goaded a love triangle into increasing cruelties) had a bit more meat on its bones, a fiercer critique that could ring uncomfortably true. Bull wants to capture us only for a moment, urging us to admire the sleek acting muscles on its performers, to enjoy Troughton's astonishing ability to slide visibly down the food chain. As the three dance attendance on boss Carter (Neil Stuke), the audience leans close on the railings of designer Soutra Gilmour's bullfighting-plaza-cum-boxing-ring. We find ourselves watching our fellows' upturned, delighted faces, despairing more at our own avidity than at the well-choreographed cruelties onstage.—Helen Shaw

text: I've been watching the swell forecast for the panhandle since Tuesday before the invest developed and conditions were looking promising this weekend for Panama city and Cape San Blas. Since then the forecast has been off and on. I'm wondering if anyone here is familiar with Cape San Blas and could share some knowledge. Any spots to check? Do you think it would be worth the drive vs. Panama city? Pretty early for predictions about the storm but what are thoughts about this weekend for the gulf?

Not everybody traveling along Scenic Byway 12 in southern Utah is in a car. Plans to stretch the popular Red Canyon multiuse trail to and then into Bryce Canyon National Park are underway.
Officials of the Scenic Byway 12 committee, Bryce Canyon City, Garfield County, Dixie National Forest and Utah Department of Transportation are working to extend the paved trail from its current end at the East Fork Road along Byway 12 for 5½ miles to the entrance of the national park.
Once there, the National Park Service is considering creating a similar trail allowing visitors to reach popular destinations on bicycles or by foot.
A long-term goal would be a multiuse trail stretching from Red Canyon to the town of Boulder and over Boulder Mountain to the Wayne County line close to Torrey.
"Traveling by bicycle is popular along the byway. People always like to see bicycle traffic separated from vehicle traffic," said John Holland, Scenic Byway 12 All-American Road coordinator. "Having the trail makes bicyclists and drivers more comfortable."
There are no official count for the number of cyclists using the existing trail in Red Canyon or along Byway 12, but Holland said from spring to fall it is common to see multiple cycling groups or individuals along the highway corridor.
The trail in Red Canyon is 8 feet wide, has two 4-foot lanes and a 2-foot shoulder on the sides. The current trail runs for 8.6 miles and was completed in 2009.
Holland said the cost estimate to lengthen the trail 5½ miles along Byway 12 to the Bryce Canyon City turn and then along State Road 63 to Bryce Canyon National Park is $2.1 million.
Funding would likely be shared by government agencies, business and possibly nonprofit organizations, he said, and could be sought from various public sources such as the Federal Lands Access Program and Utah State Parks Recreation Trails Program.
Holland said he's working to finish a draft proposal to figure out funding for the possible extension and expects, if approved, that the trail could be completed within three to five years.
Information on how to submit comment on the proposal to extend the trail from Bryce Canyon City to the national park is available online at bit.ly/Y1ENYz.
Bryce Canyon National Park officials are also planning a multiuse trail. The park is accepting public comment on the trail, which would run from the park boundary to the visitor center and beyond with original plans for a trail 5 to 6 miles long terminating at Bryce Point.
Bryce Canyon National Park Superintendent Jeff Bradybaugh said several route options are being reviewed with stretches running along or near the main road from the entrance to the visitor center. Environmental protection criteria will be considered for the entire route, and cost estimates will not be available until a route is determined.
"From the visitor center to Bryce Point the alignment will likely follow some existing trails, utility corridors and, in some spots, track along sides of roads," Bradybaugh said. "The alignments will be designed to avoid sensitive resources such as wetlands."
He expects a route will not be decided until public comment is received and environmental compliance is completed, which could take up to two years.
The multiuse trail in the park would prohibit motorized modes of transportation but would be accessible to mobility-impaired visitors in electric wheelchairs.
The trail is being designed primarily for hikers, walkers and bicyclists and should help relieve traffic congestion in Bryce.
Bicyclists will be limited to the multiuse trail and park roads. The popular trails leading to the park's famous hoodoo formations will remain off limits to wheeled transportation.
"By regulation, bikes would continue to be prohibited on hiking trails below the rim," Bradybaugh said. "We expect there could be some confusion over this, so a key component of the planning is how to communicate appropriate use of bike and hiking trails through various media for folks to plan their trip prior to arrival, as well as information once here."
firstname.lastname@example.com: @BrettPrettyman
Have an opinion?
O National Park Service officials are proposing construction of a multiuse path that would connect with a proposed hiking/bicycling trail leading into Bryce Canyon National Park from Red Canyon on Scenic Byway 12 through Bryce Canyon City. Public comments will be accepted up to May 16 via email to firstname.lastname@example.com or by regular mail to Bryce Canyon National Park, P.O. Box 640201, Bryce, UT 84764.

Choral Workshops with Sven Edward Olbash
Lacuna Arts
Event Details
Our Sing-a-Longs are a fun way to perform a favorite work, or a great first step in learning new music. We begin with a brief rehearsal of the choral sections, break for tea or coffee, and then sing straight through the piece with organ accompaniment. Scores provided, or bring your own!
- August 12th: Fauré Requiem
- Special time for this event: 6:30–9:30 pm
Solfège Bootcamp
Until the 11th century, the only way to learn a melody was to have someone teach it to you, since there was no way to write it down. Learn how the system of naming the notes (do, re, mi...) was developed and why mastering these syllables can help you read unfamiliar music at sight. Each session is designed as a standalone event, so attend as many or as few as you want!
Mondays, 7–9 pm
- July 8: Music before 1600
- July 15: Music since 1900
- July 22: Music 1600–1910

Beyond Square Notes: chant and the Graduale Novum
Every aspect of choral singing (from rhythm and pitch to technique and expression) benefits from the study of Gregorian chant. Unfortunately, this ancient art form is most frequently performed from out-of-date 19th century editions. This three-part Workshop will help unlock the mysteries of the 9th and 10th century chant manuscripts using examples from the 2011 Graduale Novum in new transcriptions by chant specialist Sven Edward Olbash of euouae.com.

Mock Caldecott 2012
Yesterday, our librarians held a Mock Caldecott discussion.
What's a Caldecott, you ask? It's an annual award for the artist of the most distinguished picture book for children, given by the Association for Library Services to Children (part of the American Library Association).
What's a Mock Caldecott discussion, you wonder? A fun way for librarians to predict which picture book will be given the award. (Last year, our clever librarians were right -- A Sick Day for Amos McGee won the "award" in the library and in real life!).
This year, we selected nine books to discuss. They are:
Me... Jane written and illustrated by Patrick McDonnell
Balloons Over Broadway: the True Story of the Puppeteer of Macy's Parade written and illustrated by Melissa Sweet
Grandpa Green written and illustrated by Lane Smith
Jonathan and the Big Blue Boat written and illustrated by Philip C. Stead
Where's Walrus written and illustrated by Stephen Savage
Brother Sun, Sister Moon: Saint Francis of Assisi's Canticle of the Creatures written by Katherine Paterson and illustrated by Pamela Dalton
Swirl by Swirl: Spirals in Nature written by Joyce Sidman and illustrated by Beth Krommes
Tiny Little Fly written by Michael Rosen and illustrated by Kevin Waldron
Cookiebot: a Harry and Horsie Adventure written by Katie Van Camp and illustrated by Lincoln Agnew
After discussing each book as related to the official Caldecott criteria, the librarians took different colored M&Ms to mark their first, second, and third place choices for the award. Three rounds of voting were held. Like the official Caldecott committee, third place votes were awarded one point, second place votes three points, and first place votes five points. (Unlike the real one, it was much more delicious.) Each book's votes were tallied after each round of voting.
Round 1 Results: Me...Jane: 32 votes
Brother Sun, Sister Moon: 22 votes
Grandpa Green: 21 votes
Where's Walrus: 21 votes
Swirl by Swirl: 19 votes
Cookiebot: 13 votes
Jonathan and the Big Blue Boat: 6 votes
Balloons Over Broadway: 3 votes
Tiny Little Fly: 2 votes
The four books receiving the lowest amount of votes were then eliminated.
Round 2 Results:
Me...Jane: 26 votes
Where's Walrus: 24 votes
Grandpa Green: 19 votes
Swirl by Swirl: 17 votes
Brother Sun, Sister Moon: 13 votes
The lowest two books were eliminated, and the final round of voting began.
The book with the highest number of votes (and it had to win by five, as per the official committee rules) would win the Highland Park Public Library Youth Services Department Mock Caldecott Medal, and second and third place the HPPL YSD Mock Caldecott Honor Award.
Round 3 Results
Me...Jane: 39 votes
Where's Walrus: 33 votes
Grandpa Green: 23 votes
Congratulations to Me...Jane by Patrick McDonnell, Where's Walrus by Stephen Savage, and Grandpa Green by Lane Smith!
Stay tuned for a Mock Newbery post next week.

Tuesday afternoon
Astute readers of Larry the Free Software Guy might notice a trend in this week's blogs, and if you said "pop music references," you'd be right. Yesterday's "Monday, Monday" is the title of a song by The Mamas & The Papas, and today's comes to you from the Moody Blues. OK, kids, go ahead and hit Wikipedia to look up those bands we old folks continually talk about . . . .
Tuesday, of course, is farmers market day in the People's Republic of Felton, the town that had the unmitigated audacity to buy its waterworks back from a multinational and put it back in town hands. And at the ring of the bell at 2:30 to signal the start of the market, Felton LUG was set up and ready to go, with both Frank Adamson and me staffing the table.
That's Frank in the photo in the article linked above. Frank, an octagenarian, takes a walk about a mile down the hill every Tuesday to staff the Felton LUG table (not to worry, folks — we make sure Frank gets a ride home up the hill, usually with indefatigable FOSS evangelist Bob Lewis or sometimes his wife drives down to pick him up). An Ubuntu user, Frank has been a FOSS advocate for about a year.
With his work with Felton Friends of Locally Owned Water (FLOW) and other activities in Felton (like the Friends of the Library), Frank seems to know everyone in Felton. People come to the table and say hello to Frank, and immediately Frank starts off into his pitch about FOSS and GNU/Linux.
This farmers market table seems to be working well, not only for the LUG — which had nearly 20 people attend the meeting last Saturday — but also for FOSS in general.
People have a general sense of what Linux is — it's that operating system thing, right? — and seeing it in an arena that's not normally a "tech environment" makes it a lot less threatening, for loss of a better term. So I would strongly urge everyone who wants to promote FOSS, GNU/Linux and Linux (for those who want to make that distinction, which I don't anymore) take the word forth to places where you might not normally find tech talk; like farmers markets, or tractor pulls, or gun shows. Anywhere where people congregate is a place where FOSS can be pitched.
Also, one of the funniest things today was handing out stickers to kids. One kid asked for one, and then her friends came up and said, "Excuse me, can we please have stickers, too?" (Such polite kids we have here in Felton.) At one point the kids had come back several times, and they had stuck the stickers on their shirts, so they were wearing Fedora, OpenSUSE, WordPress and the GNU/Linux "Dynamic Duo" gnu and penguin superhero stickers on their shirts. Sure, I bet moms wanted to strangle me, but one dad commented to me about his daughter, "You know, she looks like a stock car," which I thought was funny.
So Tuesday's down and Wednesday's next. Watch this space.

I switched to Linux for my own curiosity and personal needs. I think it's brilliant!
August 11, 2010 at 12:02 pm
I recently installed ubuntu to a couple of IT people in my office who previously ridiculed me as "Ubuntu Ulaganathan" and said that i was too stupid to use GNU\Linux and GNU\Linux was not user friendly. Now they accept why i was so addicted to it. Everything works like a charm. They were fed up with the start up of their system in Windows. Now its a blazing fast laptop. My room mate was about to throw away his DELL as he got a lot of BoD. I installed GNU\Linux and now he forgot that he got a partition called windows. The system was riddled with bad sector.
August 11, 2010 at 12:06 pm
Its like they got their freedom. Only when you have freedom you dont care how it gets resolved. Previously everone asked me do you have anti-virus. I ask them what it means as i dont use it as long as i am in GNU\Linux. This freedom is what they are experiencing now and surprised that a thought of freedom can create a problem free solution.
August 11, 2010 at 1:05 pm
My niece is now 9 and has been using Linux since she has known about computers. She is pretty good at it and will ask if she can't find something or needs to install a certain app and if I didn't know we would google for the answer then we both read the instructions and go from there.
Today we were at one of her little friends birthday parties that happen to get a laptop with windows on it. They plugged it in and fired it up right away and I hear my niece say "Where is the package manager, there are a lot of cool programs in there." I was so proud…lol. After explaining how windows isn't like Linux she was ready to go home to play World of Goo.

Class Warfare Is Just A Tool For Politicians
Over the last 50 years or so, politicians have been using the different classes of people to get themselves re-elected. When the subject of class warfare comes up, the politicians refer to as the rich against the poor, blacks against whites. It's just another tool for them to use to get the less informed to "buy" into the crap and to vote for them.
The true class warfare is the political class against the citizen class. If you haven't noticed, the politicians want us to "fight" among ourselves and to take the real focus off of them. It's amazing how politicians never refer to themselves as rich or wealthy. They don't want the average citizen to realize that they are also doing financially well. How could the American people who are less fortunate to vote for them if they too are rich and "not paying their fair share"?
While I agree that a good portion of our population is not making ends meet because of their income. Approximately 15% of the U.S. population is living under the poverty level set by the federal government. Currently a family of four making 22,314 is considered to be living at the poverty level. I do agree that making 22,314 a year to support a family of four is low for today's standard of living, we must also think about where in the country the family is living in. There's a difference between living in New York City and Mobile, Alabama when you think of the cost of living in those areas. A family may make it just fine in Alabama, but they sure wouldn't in the Big Apple.
Politicians also like to use the poor as their personal puppets in the battle against the Republicans. It's a shame that the media doesn't do a better job in disseminating the facts form the myths. Here are just some facts about the condition the poor are in.
*The typical "poor" household in America has a car
*78% of "poor" households in America have air conditioning
*64% of "poor" households in America have cable or satellite TV .. most have
two TVs, along with a DVD player and VCR
*Most "poor" households in America with children have a gaming system such
as an Xbox or PlayStation
*38% of "poor" households in America have a personal computer
*Most "poor" households in America have a refrigerator, an oven and stove,
and a microwave. They also have other household appliances such as a
clothes washer, clothes dryer, ceiling fans, a cordless phone, and a coffee
*The typical "poor" American has more living space than the average European.
*The typical "poor" American family is able to obtain medical care when needed.
*The average "poor" household in America claims to have sufficient funds to meet all essential needs.
If you look around the world you will see that most poor people in other countries don't have it as good as "poor" Americans. We as a whole are doing better than the rest of the world so we need to stop this class warfare game and realize that we live in the best country in the world. If we don't and we continue to let the politicians use this tactic to get average people fighting among themselves, they (politicians) will be the only winners.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
Miami has enough velvet-rope-and-$25-valet nightclubs to keep Ed Hardy and your local Ecstasy dealer in the money for life. What it doesn't have enough of, though, is the sort of bar where you can show up in casual clothes, have a conversation without screaming over club music, and spend a night getting tipsy on premium beer accompanied with a good nosh. That's why we're so happy to welcome Lou's Beer Garden, an understated outdoor poolside bar and kitchen in the courtyard of the New Hotel in Miami Beach. It's like a taste-bud-friendly Miami version of Cheers: You show up for one beer but end up getting sloshed on five high-octane brews such as Bieres de Chimay Triple and Rogue Brewery's Double Dead Guy Ale while cracking wise with the other barflies. You're given carte blanche with the single flat-screen's remote control, and the bartenders are all regulars who never left. When you get really trashed, feel free to jump into the pool with your clothes on. And make sure you don't have a reason to leave; the bar that bills itself as "Miami Beach's first gastropub" has a menu full of gourmet grub including tasty pizzas, eight-ounce Black Angus burgers, and Ibérico squid.
This local watering hole has a nocturnal name, but it does a fantastic job catering to early-morning boozers. Nite Cap opens at 7 a.m. six days a week. The first happy hour runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. So if you're in the mood for a beer or a Jameson on the rocks for breakfast, head to this 30-year-old wonder. There you will run into easygoing locals from North Dade and maybe even Southeast Broward who enjoy a low-key party vibe and low prices. The joint's walls, bar, and tables are decorated in ancient Miami Dolphins regalia, commemorating the team's glory years. Stop by and get to know bar wench Kelly, a peach of a lady who knows all the regulars. The place officially closes at 2 a.m. but — shhh, don't tell the Man — has been known to operate extended hours. On the Lord's Day, however, Nite Cap gives patrons a chance to go to church services and repent by opening at 12:30 p.m. During NFL season, the bar offers free hot dogs, kielbasa, and sliders all afternoon on game days.
Brickell Irish Pub gives Miami's scene stealers a fresh new place to get gritty. Opened last year, it's a place where cosmos and Cuba libre's are traded for Guinness and Jameson. The place is regularly slammed with a crowd that overflows onto the bar's outside terrace. Inside, it might take you a minute or two to reach the bar, but kilt-clad waiters and waitresses keep the $12 drinks coming. Live bands frequent the 6,000-square-foot warehouse-style bar at least six nights a week and play on a stage that resembles an antique library. The pub also keeps the clean and sober occupied and content with a pool table, darts, and 20 plasma TV screens. The crowd is mixed, and while the music selections vary, the tunes are those best sung by an entire bar full of drunks — i.e., anything by the Police, Sublime, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Nightly themes span the week, including Monday poker night, Wednesday rock night, and Sunday dedicated to all things sports. The bar is open Sunday through Wednesday noon to 2 a.m. and Thursday through Saturday noon to 3 a.m.
Miami has so much natural beauty that it's unfortunate most of our bars and clubs revel in synthetic aesthetics: the intricate design, the electronic beats blaring through speakers, the surgically altered bodies of the people let past the polyester velvet rope. Luckily, there are a few places that still put nature's beauty on display. One of them is Wetlab on the University of Miami campus on Virginia Key. The patio affords an unobstructed view of undeveloped Biscayne Bay in all its glory, while the bar offers a full selection of sanely priced drinks in all their different but equally breathtaking glory. Yes, Wetlab is on a college campus, but it's open to the public, and the grad students here form a far different crowd from those you'll find at the Rathskeller on UM's Coral Gables campus. The only real drawback is that Wetlab is open only Wednesday and Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m. and Friday from 4:30 to 11 p.m.
Chances are you've hummed the pop culture-heavy Champs tune "Tequila" before, maybe even done the Pee-wee dance while under the influence. Or you might have had a Sandlot-esque moment. Tequila is not for the faint of heart, and El Scorpion has boldly created a long, backlit bar that houses more than 120 blue agave spirits, including Patrón's golden child: Gran Patrón Burdeos. First it's aged in American and French oak for at least a year, and then it's racked in vintage Bordeaux barrels. A shot goes for $100. Don't come here expecting all of those frou-frou drinks you'll find at the chain bars. El Scorpion sticks to the basic goods. And the bar food includes five guacamoles and four salsas, so "Tequila" might be the theme for many nights to come.
A Miamian's dilemma: You want to enjoy all the great things about Lincoln Road — the unparalleled people-watching, the sidewalk-café ambiance under gently lit palms, the crackling South Beach energy. But you're a local. You're not about to fall for the ol' hot-Ukrainian-model-waving-a-menu-in-your-face ploy, and you're sure as hell not going to spend 200 bucks just to relax in the shade for a couple of hours. Who would have thought that a wine bar, of all the bourgeois haunts, would come to the rescue? Eno's Winebar Café is a slim and stylish storefront in the middle of Lincoln Road Mall, lit with an audacious red chandelier and stocked with hundreds of wines. Best of all, Eno's rotating cast of vinos is hooked to a high-tech sampling machine. You can "charge" a plastic card with as much cash as you'd like and then taste away with a splash of that Armand de Brignac or a full glass of the Leroy Bourgogne Rouge. Shady outdoor tables alongside a gently gurgling fountain are the perfect setting for finally enjoying Lincoln like a local.

So... Assuming you've got a pretty decent interest in Martial Arts (sports mma - not thai chi death moves etc), but also can't dedicate your entire life to training and have to hold down a regular 9-5 and keep your other half happy you may be able to at a push commit to say 6 training hours a week -> How would you use them?
Bjj groundwork, Wrestling Takedowns and Clinch, Boxing or In the Gym lifting weights to gain power?
I understand that strength can be a big factor and certainly if you wanted to fight for a living then you would have to go to the gym and lift, but is 2 hours on the mat rolling more benificial than 2 hours in a gym working cardio and weights?
I've had one mma fight so far and managed to pull off a win. I never do any form of strength, weight training or cardio other than normal grappling/clinch etc in class and as it went to the third round the fitness nearly killed me. However I was more technical than the other guy and it paid off.
At low levels of MMA I think you're better at working on 2 of the 3 main fighting ranges and learning a bare minimum in the other just to survive rather than spread yourself too thinly.
Any other opinions out there. Just thought that it would make interesting reading.

Mitt Romney's foray into the Republican Party spotlight after a retreat following his presidential election loss began in March 2013, when in a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference he admitted mistakes in his 2012 campaign and focused on agents of renewal for the party this election cycle.
A year later, Mr. Romney is in demand–at fundraising events, election rallies for GOP senatorial candidates, making the occasional television appearance and showing up in "selfies" at airports across the country. The Republican senators' campaign arm has since recast his loss to President Barack Obama–whose popularity is at a low–selling "Romney was right" bumper stickers. And Mr. Romney is being asked if there's a chance he'd run in 2016.
Here's a look at some of Mr. Romney's recent travels for the GOP and other appearances:
Mr. Romney took to the campaign airwaves in April, appearing in a U.S. Chamber of Commerce television spot touting Idaho Rep. Mike Simpson. Mr. Simpson won his Republican primary race. He has also endorsed Idaho Gov. Butch Otter and Sen. Jim Risch.
North Carolina[wsj-responsive-sandbox id = "1" ]
Mr. Romney has shown support for Thom Tillis, who is battling Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan for her seat, as the GOP seeks to gain control of the Senate. He headlined a fundraiser for Mr. Tillis Aug. 19 in Charlotte.
Mr. Romney came back to television to discuss politics in May, appearing on "Morning Joe" to criticize fellow Republicans for opposing a minimum-wage increase. "I think we ought to raise because our party is all about more jobs and better pay and I think communicating that is important to us," Mr. Romney said.
Ahead of Iowa's GOP primary, Mr. Romney joined Joni Ernst–now the GOP candidate for Senate–and played down the party divide, saying everyone wants to go after problems created by Democrats, they just have different approaches. The open seat Ms. Ernst is running for has been occupied by a Democrat for three decades.
Mr. Romney attended an invitation-only picnic (not a political fundraiser this year) hosted by former Virginia Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling, who was chairman of his presidential campaigns. Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, who's facing corruption charges and is now on trial, was also at the event. Mr. Romney has endorsed Senate candidate Ed Gillespie, hosting a fundraiser for the former Republican National Committee chairman in March to help his effort to unseat Democratic Sen. Mark Warner.
New Hampshire
Mr. Romney has thrown his support behind Scott Brown, the former Massachusetts senator trying to unseat Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen. (While Mr. Romney was on the campaign trail for Mr. Brown, a Quinnipiac University National Poll was released showing that 45% of voters polled said the country would be better off if Mr. Romney had won the 2012 presidential election, versus 38% who said the country would be worse off.)
Vacation: The American West[wsj-responsive-sandbox id = "0" ]
West Virginia
Mr. Romney, who won West Virginia in 2012, stumped for a Senate candidate, Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, and two House candidates, state Sen. Evan Jenkins and Alex Mooney, who is running for Ms. Capito's seat.
Illinois: Running Mates Reunite
Mr. Romney joined up with his former running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis) on Aug. 21 at the Union League Club of Chicago to help promote Mr. Ryan's new book, "The Way Forward." Mr. Ryan said he would love to see Mr. Romney run again for president and teased that the "third time's the charm."
He also participated in the ALS Association's ice-bucket challenge, allowing Mr. Ryan to dump a bucket of water on him for charity.
In Arkansas, Mr. Romney endorsed Rep. Tom Cotton, who is running to unseat Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor. He also spoke at a rally for the Republican candidate for governor, Asa Hutchinson.

jersey was really fun this afternnoon! hope these waves stick around all summer!

jersey was really fun this afternnoon! hope these waves stick around all summer!
hit it up before dark in nj- some fun waves at the right spot- with the tide and sandbar variables... had a few fun rides, waist high... maybe you could call it bigger, idk... it was warm and better then flat...and fun for the size!
Rockaway was as perfect as i have ever seen it.
I live in jersey but when i saw the ny harbor buoy reading southv swell at 14 secionds i knew i had to get out to rockaway or long beach. I was not dissapointed, shoulder head high sets perfectlt lined up and other than that not a ripple in the water. I was getting amazing rides from jetty to jetty. Maybe not the biggest day ever, but size isn't everything. Today goes down as.one of the most perfect surf days i have had, and its been a good couple of weeks!
Late afternoon, early evening yesterday got fun in NoMoCo. Belly high and clean... warm water... a bit of a wait at times for sets, but a nice way to end the day.
Agree - Rockaway was in fine form yesterday evening. Box was as good as i've see it and definitely a couple of head high waves (I'm only 5'11") but mostly clean chest/shoulder sets. Haven't seen it that good since the early Irene push Aug 26.
Surprisingly, the crowd wasn't bad (7 - 8pm), probably since it was spread out from the box to the 4th or 5th row of sticks. I had to straighten out a couple of times due to the types you mentioned, but overall the kook quotient was below average for 90th and everyone was is good spirits.

And before all the violin was made to charm, to move, and Vieuxtemps knew it.
"Vieuxtemps' Fantasie," he says, and the music-sheets are fluttered and turned.
He remained in Brussels until 1877, when, Vieuxtemps becoming convalescent, Wieniawski set forth once more on his travels.
Vieuxtemps came to Weimar and played both in private and in public.
Henri Petri, a Vieuxtemps pupil who went to Joachim, played just as well when he came to him as when he left him.
In the hospitable house of this agreeable family I had heard the composer Vieuxtemps play the violin when I was nine years old.
In a well-contrasted style was the only other piece in more than one movement that he played, namely, Vieuxtemps' second Concerto.
I am satisfied that there are as great masters of this nerve-playing as Vieuxtemps or Thalberg in their lines of performance.
When Vieuxtemps left America, in 1858, Poznanski's son went with him to finish his studies under his direction.
It was the intricate but altogether tuneful Ballade and Polonaise by Vieuxtemps.

Should you wait until your plant starts sounding or looking "sick" before doing something about it? A plant breakdown can destroy long-term business relationships.To prevent this kind of major catastrophe, industrial automation supplier Rockwell Automation has a Web-based condition monitoring service that can alert the producer of a problem long before a plant breakdown occurs. The Reliability Online (ROL) system uses the operational efficiencies of the Internet for data transmission between the producer and Rockwell Automation.
The producer has two options for collecting data through the service. Portable systems use a handheld device with a portable transducer that can be placed on critical locations on the equipment for data acquisition and storage. For 24/7/365 monitoring, the producer would opt for the Enwatch surveillance service. A data-collection device equipped with a digital signal processor that captures high-speed analog data mounts near equipment. Most commonly it measures vibration, but it's also possible to measure speed and phase of moving parts or even process variables such as current or the temperature of a bearing. This system offers connectivity via Ethernet, so the producer could incorporate it into the plant network and access it through the Internet.
Rockwell Automation analysts can access a File Transfer Protocol (ftp) site and download the data. Enshare software statistically evaluates the data, can alert analysts of operating data that fall outside of a programmed range, and can integrate different measurements into graphic trend analysis reports. These operating data reports are stored on the ftp site in formats such as Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat Reader for the producer's review.

Meet Our Dolls
Hello! This is Catriane. Her skin is sunkissed in tone and her eyes are grey. Her hair is made with various wool and mohair yarns - almost all hand dyed. Her clothing is made with all natural fibres that make it unique and one of a kind. Catriane has a secret pocket in which I've included a small crystal heart (that I've put some love into!) and a little note. These dolls are so special and unique!
Ages 5 and up due to the loose crystal. Can be a choking hazard for the wee ones.
They are 20-22" tall and made with the same natural woolie goodness that our other dolls are made with. Their limbs and body are longer and leaner and floppy - similar to the sitting and cuddle dolls.
I'm hoping that parents will put little love notes in the little pocket for their child. Or, if you are getting a doll for yourself - I like to imagine that you'd write a little something to your nine year old self. My intention and desire for this doll was to represent that time in a little ones life that is the cusp of teenage hood. Around 9 - 11 when all things feel possible and magic is still very much alive. Before the movement through those teenage years. I think this time is when you are really you - who you are by essence. It ebbs and flows and develops though the years, of course, but I feel it's clear around this age. I have an 11 year old now and I know who he really is - the sometimes snarky preteen comes through and has to while he's testing boundaries - but I know what is inside his heart. So, maybe you can write something to your nine year old self - something to tell her to not forget or to hold onto. I've rambled a bit here, these dolls just make me so emotional.
Okay, pinching of knees and elbows are optional. Only on this style of doll. Personally, I like it without pinching but many people like it so if you are team pinching - let me know by emailing us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We can also change the name or hairstyle if you'd like - or add freckles!
A note on the clothing .. I'm working with a very lovely friend, Melissa, on this. She makes each item piece by piece so no two are the same. Her work is divine. She uses vintage fabrics, gorgeous linens and vintage tea stained laces. I wanted something unique and very special with these dolls and she's perfect for this. I've actually been wondering how to work with Melissa for years now and this was the perfect opportunity. I love when things work out!


text: I have a couple years experience in surfing and recently moved to the gulf of Florida around Sarasota/Venice area. When the waves are good here, there aren't usually many people at the spots I hit. I don't have a lot of experience surfing these beach-breaks. The problem I have is, the waves break at so many different spots and I'm wondering how far out I should be on these? I enjoy any wave size (quantity over quality for me) - I just like to have fun. It seems like I can't really gauge where I should be catching most of the good ones because I seem to just get thrown over the falls half the time (I'm guessing because of the occasional closeout). Even when I'm like 'oh okay I'll just paddle a little further out' and the same crap happens. Am I just reading the waves wrong or am I missing something? I just want to get the most fun out of my sessions but getting a little frustrated on the Gulf.

Sprint Publishing & Advertising EmployeesReceive Vice President Gore's Hammer Award
August 18, 1997
Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231
FAYETTEVILLE, NC -- A team of Sprint Publishing & Advertising employees received Vice President Al Gore's Hammer Award here today for redesigning and simplifying the Federal government Blue Pages in Sprint's local telephone directories. Eventually these revised Blue Pages will be published in Sprint Yellow Pages' telephone directories in its top 50 U.S. markets covering 18 states. Fayetteville is the first Sprint directory to contain the redesigned, more user-friendly pages.
David Barram, administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) presented the award on behalf of Vice President Gore and the National Performance Review in a ceremony at Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, N.C. The Hammer Award is given to teams who have contributed to improving the way government works.
"Your team at Sprint not only took on the mission of fixing the problem," said Vice President Gore in a letter to the team, ''you went the extra mile by agreeing to publish these new listings at no cost to the Federal government in 50 markets across the country." The Vice President added that no cost to the Federal government "translates to savings for the taxpayer."
In accepting the award for the Sprint team, Bob Walsh, president of Sprint Publishing & Advertising, said "The new Blue Pages symbolize our commitment to serving the needs of the public and our role in improving government efficiency.'' Walsh said that in the past, directory users have struggled to find appropriate government offices. "The new Blue Pages," he said, "list most government services by topic and provide Internet website addresses."
The Blue Pages Project is sponsored by the Vice President's National Performance Review and coordinated by GSA. It is a collaborative effort of Sprint, other directory publishers, and 24 Federal agencies to make it easier to find Federal services in more than 6,200 telephone directories nationwide.
Gore has referred to the Blue Pages as "the low-tech puzzle that must be solved before reaching the high-tech government." Since government telephone numbers have traditionally been listed by organization�not by service, as in the Yellow Pages�Federal services have not been very accessible. For example, the U.S. Passport Agency, which used to be listed only under "s" for "State Department," is listed in the new Blue Pages under "p" for "passport."
Surveys show that half the users of the original Blue Pages give up before they get the information they need because they cannot locate the number for a particular office.
"The Blue Pages are used 81 million times a year," Barram said. "They often are the first contact someone has with the government. Simplifying Blue Pages provides a great service to taxpayers. Sprint's accomplishment is proof that government-private sector partnerships can create a government that works better and costs less."
Recent feedback from citizens in various cities where Blue Pages have been revised show that they are very pleased with the icons, color and graphics that make the Blue Pages much easier to read and use. They liked the inclusion of internet addresses, cross references, narrative descriptions of products and services of the Federal government, and the use of bigger type fonts.
After using the new blue pages, some said that they were "shocked" to learn how many products and services are available from the Federal government -- that they pay taxes for -- but didn't know about. Items such as the services of the Small Business Administration, alcohol treatment referrals, consumer hotlines, housing information, plant health information, pension benefits, immunization and childhood diseases, Medicare, aging and eldercare, are but a few examples.
Other Sprint Yellow Page directories that will feature the Blue Pages include Greenville, N.C., Jacksonville, N.C., Rocky Mount, N.C., Beaufort, S.C., Naples, FL, Punta Gorda, FL, and Tri-Cities/Johnson City, TN directories among others.
Sprint Publishing & Advertising Inc. is the official publisher of the Sprint Yellow Pages. Sprint Publishing, the nation's 10th largest Yellow Pages publisher, is a subsidiary of Sprint, a global communications company and the world's largest carrier of Internet traffic.
The Hammer Award recognizes special achievements in the four main themes of reinventing government: improving customer service, cutting red tape, empowering employees and getting back to basics.
The award is the Vice President's way to symbolize the dramatic change taking place across government today from the days when it was alleged that the government paid $400 for a hammer. It consists of a $6.00 hammer, a ribbon and a note from the Vice President, all in an aluminum frame. Individual team members receive certificates and hammer-shaped lapel pins.
When the project is complete, citizens across the nation are going to be more in touch with their Federal government as a result of Vice President Gore's Blue Pages Project, which goes hand-in-hand with government reinvention.

7 Series DIY
Do It Yourself forum dedicated for 7 Series BMW Owners

Diagnostics, coding and programming, oh MY!
I'm in week 2 of trying to figure out how to reset my battery. Not that I can't take it to my Indy for a few bucks and get it done, I want to be able to diagnose, fix codes, and some programming on my car, so I set out to get the software and cables to do it myself. I've read everything I can find here on BIMMERFEST and on the BMW coding site as well, and my only impression is this:
Lots of folks do this, but I have no clue how they were able to do it short of experimentation. There are many hundreds of posts, software versions, opinions, cable this, cable that, daten files, virtual machines, my god the list goes on forever, and that's just to install the software.
I'm a tech geek, but honestly, I've almost arrived at the conclusion that it's more trouble than it's worth.
I've set up at least three different installations of INPA, EDIABAS and NCS Expert, and while the programs will run, I have not found any information on how to use them, tho there is a good description on how they relate, and what the capabilities are, and a bunch of anecdotal instructions on specific settings or 'moves' you can do to do this or that.
Best I can tell, INPA is good to diagnose, but I can't get the two black lights to come on, the Ignition one never does, so my 'guaranteed to work with your car' cable I bought does not, apparently.
I THINK that NCS and NCS Dummy are linked, where dummy makes files you can use in NCS, but it's anybody's guess as to the details of using it.
SO, my final plea, if I've missed information here that would give me a clear path to get the software and cables working, I'd really appreciate a link. I realize this is a DIY effort, but the more I read about how to do it, the more confused I get
I'm using an old XP Pro computer, serial port, and a cable from one-stop-electrronics.
FWIW, I've read all the BMW tutorial PDFs, all the docs I can find on INPA, EDIABAS, NCS but most of it just refers to error codes that the programs throw. Nothing on how to approach actual diagnostics. There is one guide in the BMW PDF's where it shows how to click through NCS screens, tho.
Thanks for reading, and if I"m posting on a topic that's not of interest, my apologies.
America is a divided country. Liberals and progressives vs conservatives. One side is about fairness, the other side is about fairness. The difference is the definition of fairness.
BMWcoding has some great guides to get you started. INPA has the instructions located in the folder on your hard drive where it was installed.
You are correct as there is a ton of information out there and a lot of stuff to try and get a handle on.
I think the biggest problem is making sure your cable works. There is a program that will check this for you, and you might need to load some additional drivers to get it all to work.
I went thru this two months ago and the members here will be more than happy to help out with any questions.
97 740i e38 - SOLD
02 745i e65
03 Montero Limited
I finally found and read how to set up not only ediabias.ini but obd.ini as well, and now I can code my car. I registered the new battery and got the 'OK' at the end of the job.
For my photo gear, I have some 16' extensions that use USB power to make a repeater, and have used one of those on my one-stop cable with success.
NOW, I'd like to dig in and get rid of the engine light (came on after tinkering with INPA), and also set an air bag light off. I also need to trace down a 1-Amp battery drain during what you might refer to 'REM' sleep on the 2007 760Li. That drain is what killed my last battery.
Any suggestions on preferred applications (ediabias, TOol32, NCSExpert etc) to get those things done?

Germany supports UN Democracy Fund, increases contribution by 1.3 Mio USD
On September 15th – the third "International Day of Democracy" – the German Mission to the United Nations hosted a donor-meeting organized by the United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF). On this occasion Ambassador Wittig announced an additional German contribution to UNDEF of 1 Mio. Euro (ca. 1.3 Mio USD).
Ambassador Wittig pointed to the Millennium Declaration of the year 2000 and the World Summit of 2005 – both of which reflect the commitments made by member states to protect and promote human rights, the rule of law and democracy. Ambassador Wittig stated: "Germany believes that good governance and the rule of law at the national and international levels and solid democratic institutions responsive to the needs of people are essential to achieve development."
Ambassador Wittig also mentioned the importance of support by friends and partners: "Germany's unification would not have been possible without democracy and the support it garnered among our international partners. It needs strong democratic institutions to build a strong economy – and to be an active and responsible partner within the international community."
As a founding member of the Advisory Board of the UN Democracy Fund and one
of the largest financial contributors to the fund, Germanyhas supported the
work of UNDEF since its establishment in 2005. With today's pledge, the German
overall contribution the fund will amount to almost 10 Mio USD. For more information please also refer to the Secretary-General's Guidance-Note of the Secretary-General on Democracy, a central document defining the United Nations' position on democratization and commending UNDEF for its work: http://www.un.org/democracyfund/Docs/UNSG Guidance Note on Democracy.pdf
