I got this a couple of years ago from Williams Sonoma. I use it almost every day. My Mom was a gourmet cook and insisted I have one in my kitchen.

In an effort to shut down the httpd server, I was going to execute this command:
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist
Instead this was executed:
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
The result was that my MacBook just stopped completely and can't boot. Is it possible to revert it with the following command?
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
But I don't know what was on and off.
So I need help. How do I restore it? I tried to alt-boot, got into Mountain Lion's recovery options and reinstalled the system, but with the same result. Is the terminal in the recovery tool to any help?
Is this setting saved in a file I can restore from Time Machine?

Bob Wooldridge will be running for another term as Morgan County assessor.
He was not mentioned when the other county candidates announced, because he was not at the Morgan County Republican Central Committee meeting when they made their announcements, he told the Board of Morgan County Commissioners last week.
Wooldridge began his first term as the county assessor in 1990, and there have been a lot of changes over the years, he said.
He said he expects there to be still more and feels he has not finished the work he wants to do.
Although his work affects the taxes property owners pay, this job is really simply to assess the value of properties, Wooldridge said.
During his years in office, one of the best changes has been Colorado's senior citizen property tax credit, he said.
That program exempts up to half of property taxes on the primary residence for people who 65 years old and older if they have lived in that home for at least 10 years.
Veterans can also get a tax credit, but that is run by the Veterans Administration and is complex, Wooldridge said.
He said he is willing to help veterans figure that out.
During the recent central committee meeting, Morgan County Treasurer Bob Sagel, Morgan County Commissioner Laura Teague and Morgan County Coroner Don Heer said they would also run for re-election.
However, Morgan County Clerk and Recorder Connie Ingmire will not.

Pot o' Gold is the fourth episode of Glee's third season and the forty-eighth episode overall. It premiered on November 1, 2011.
Rory, a foreign exchange student from Ireland, is new to McKinley and is staying at Brittany's home and it is clear he has a crush on her. After Quinn's return to the New Directions, she tells Puck that she wants Beth back from Shelby, and asks for Puck's assistance. However, Puck and Shelby seem to have found a romantic connection together. Finn assists Rory and convinces him to join the Glee Club, while Shelby's all-female Glee Club, The Troubletones, recruits Mercedes and two other members from New Directions, leaving the Glee Club in shock.
The episode was directed by Adam Shankman and written by Allison Adler.
This episode opens with Brittany at her locker when a new student, named Rory, comes up to her. They have a conversation that shows Brittany believes Rory to be a leprechaun. He goes along with it, because she says she will give him her "pot of gold," and promises to grant her first wish: an all marshmallow box of Lucky Charms. Finn eavesdrops on their conversation from across the hall. After Brittany leaves, Rory gets pushed into the lockers by a hockey player who tells him to "go back to Mexico."
Puck and Quinn convince Shelby to let them babysit Beth for a night. Meanwhile, in another episode of Sue's Corner, Sue continues to campaign for "no arts in schools," mainly going after McKinley's musical. Parents agree with Sue and start calling McKinley to complain, which leads Figgins (who was assaulted by an angry parent that is outside the office holding up a sign with "ANGRY" written on it) to cut the musical's budget. Will claims he can get the money himself.
Mercedes approaches Santana asking her how many solos she was given last year. Mercedes uses this to try convince Santana to join Shelby's all-girl group because they would get all the solos. Her proposal intrigues Santana but she says she could never leave Brittany, and Mercedes tells her to bring Brittany along. Finn is following Mercedes and Santana during their conversation and looks worried.
Back in the choir room, Tina and the other members are distraught that Mercedes has left, because she was one of their strongest singers, as well as an original member who had been with them right from the start. They start arguing and then Rachel comes in late, saying that she was hanging posters for her campaign; this leads Kurt to make a snide comment, showing that their friendship still hasn't mended. Finn tells them to stop fighting and then attempts to raise their low spirits. Blaine backs him up but Finn is offended by the interjection to his pep talk. Will suggests they sell ads to raise money for the musical.
Finn meets Rory, who explains that he is a foreign exchange student from Ireland who loves America. He wants more friends and to get Brittany's "pot of gold." Finn agrees to be Rory's friend as long as Rory spies on Brittany and Santana for him.
Quinn and Puck babysit Beth. Quinn plants false evidence to frame Shelby as an unfit mother in Shelby's apartment so that she can call child services and get custody of Beth.
Kurt tells Burt about the musical's money problem and Burt immediately gets the money (from Lima's funeral owners) and goes to Figgins - as a result, the musical is back on. Sue and Burt have an argument in the hall about her campaign.
Rory has a bullying problem; the hockey players keep targeting him. He grants Brittany's first wish and she asks him to grant her a second wish - to make Lord Tubbington poop candy bars. He asks her out on a date but she declines, saying she has plans with a "friend." Rory has his first solo and the first song of the episode when he sings Bein' Green.
Brittany and Santana are then seen on a date at Breadstix. Santana wants to talk about their "status" because she doesn't know if they're dating or not, and Brittany replies that she thought they were already dating. They agree that they are now officially dating. Santana says that she wishes that Brittany would join her into going to Shelby's Glee Club, but Brittany says she doesn't want to be a quitter. However, she does say that she'll think about it. Santana asks to hold hands but puts a napkin over their linked hands, revealing that she is still afraid of people judging her because of her sexuality.Puck's pool-cleaning business is booming, but Quinn doesn't think that the job is good enough. They have a moment in which Quinn confesses her true feelings about Beth. Shelby helps Puck with his job.
Will announces the musical is back on. Blaine wants the group to remember what Glee is all about and sings Last Friday Night. Santana gets mad, claiming that New Directions is going to become the "Rachel and Blaine show." Santana confronts Rory about his crush on Brittany, and ultimately scares him into granting her a wish; getting Brittany to join Shelby's show choir. Later, Rory puts candy bars in Lord Tubbington's litter box and convinces Brittany to join Shelby's group.
Will visits Burt and asks him to run against Sue, who says that he was already going to do it because the arts saved Kurt's life.
Puck visits Shelby to thank her and get rid of the evidence Quinn planted earlier. During all of this Beth won't stop crying, but he puts her to sleep by singing Waiting for a Girl Like You. Puck and Shelby have a moment where Puck lets her know that he will always be there to help her.
Rory reveals the news of Brittany's defection to Finn. Finn goes to Brittany to try and talk her out of defecting from New Directions. Santana points out Finn's jealousy towards Blaine, which aggravates him. He then snaps and frustratedly tells Brittany that leprechauns aren't real, and tells her to stop being such an "idiot." However, this proves to be the wrong move, as Brittany is greatly offended by this, pointing out that, as Finn is the group's leader, he has even less of a right than the other guys in the club to say such a thing to her. This ultimately seals her decision to quit New Directions.
Burt states his political views on "Burt's Corner" as Sue and Will observe.
Brittany and Santana go to Shelby's choir. Sugar appears happy that there are more people to "sing back up for her," but Santana immediately tells her that all she's talented enough to do is sway in the background and sing "very quietly." The five of them (Brittany, Santana, Mercedes, Sugar, and Shelby) discuss their group name, which they conclude to be The
Troubletones. They sing Candyman in the auditorium and the impressive performance intimidates Finn and Will. Later Finn apologizes to Brittany and says he understands why they left, even if he doesn't like it. Rory claims that he has granted Brittany's last wish and that he is ready for her pot of gold, but Brittany tells him that she now knows leprechauns don't exist and leaves. Santana tells Rory to disappear.
Burt and Carole talk to Finn and Kurt about his campaign at Breadstix. Kurt expresses his concern for Burt's health and Burt offers Finn the option of running the tire shop if he gets elected into office. Sue shows up at their table, thanking Burt for making her remember why she decided to run in the first place; not simply to cut arts budgets, but to give more money to special education programs.
Later, back in school, Finn stands up for Rory. New Directions are upset because so many people have left, so Finn convinces Rory to try out for the club where he sings Take Care of Yourself. The episode ends with Shelby and Puck sharing a kiss.

Absent Cast Member
- The song at the end of this promo for the episode, although originally thought to be an original song, is actually "Lightyears" by Mica Javier. Full Version
- This is the debut episode for Damian McGinty (Rory Flanagan), one of the winners from The Glee Project.
- Blaine sings Last Friday Night in this episode, with Artie singing backup in parts. Likewise, both Darren Criss and Kevin McHale were in the original music video by Katy Perry.
- This is the first episode not to be written by any of the Glee co-creators (Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, or Ian Brennan). Instead, it's written by co-executive producer Allison Adler.
- When Mercedes talks to Santana about how many solos she got last year, Santana says only Valerie and Science Fiction Double Feature (as the Rocky Horror lips). Santana doesn't mention Songbird but it seems clear she didn't mention it because she was alone with Brittany in the choir room and it wasn't a solo that was given or sung in front or with the club.
Kurt: She could have a field day with this whole gay son thing.
Burt: I'm proud of you, Kurt. Don't care who knows it.
I have one final wish, Leprechaun. Would you do this whole school a favor and just disappear?
Finn: It's true?
Brittany: Of course not.
Finn: You're not quitting New Directions?
Brittany: Oh, I thought you meant the Selena Gomez pregnancy rumors.
You cannot call your future president an "idiot." It's mean, it's bullying and I won't accept it.
Beth is perfect. She's my perfect thing.

The London Swing and Soul Band
Recent review: Daniel and his London Swing & Soul Band played at our wedding last August. We spent absolutely ages looking for the right band, and we were losing heart, until we saw this band in action. Simply awesome. The most amazing repertoire, which was great for us because our guests ranged from 4 to 84, and there was something for everyone, even traditional Jewish wedding dances (which we wanted even though our wedding was not religious in any way). Daniel supplied a jazz trio for the daytime (which was excellent), he played keyboard during the actual ceremony (and it was beautiful), then we opted for an 8 piece band for the reception, which was fabulous. So many of our guests commented afterwards about how much they loved our band. Three of our guests are professional musicians themselves, one teaches at the Royal Academy of Music, and one is musical director for the Ritz hotel in London, and they both said the band was fantastic. PLUS ours was a same-sex wedding, and it was important for us to feel comfortable with everyone involved. Daniel is really lovely, and it was a pleasure to have him be such a big part of our perfect day. Thanks Daniel and The London Swing & Soul Band - absolutely, unreservedly recommended, we could not possibly fault you in any way, Sarah & Sabina xx

When the National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning for the Cascades on Sunday afternoon, a lot of Seattle-area smartphone owners received an alert that was long on drama and short on details.
The alerts came in various shapes and forms but were confusing to people who looked out the window and saw rain and temperatures in the 40s.
Both T-Mobile and Verizon customers reported receiving the alert, part of a system that began going live nationally in June.
In Facebook and Twitter discussions, no Seattle-area AT&T or Sprint customer has reported receiving an alert. The AT&T customer service technician I talked to about 5:30 pm Sunday said, "we are still working with FCC … we don't have a specific release date yet."
This is what the alert (it's not a text message) said:
"Severe alert: Blizzard Warning this area til 6:00 p.m. PST Mon. Prepare. Avoid Travel. Check media. -NWS."
This is how it could have been written to be helpful:
"Severe alert: Blizzard Warning for Cascade slope and passes til 6 pm PST Mon. Avoid Travel. Check wrh.noaa.gov/sew – National Weather Service."
These alerts are part of a national emergency communications program, the Commercial Mobile Alert System, which is managed by the Federal Communications Commission:
[C]ustomers who own an enabled mobile device [will] receive geographically-targeted, text-like messages alerting them of imminent threats to safety in their area… CMAS was established pursuant to the Warning, Alert and Response Network (WARN) Act.
CMAS alerts are transmitted using a new technology that is separate and different from voice calls and SMS text messages. This new technology ensures that emergency alerts will not get stuck in highly congested user areas, which can happen with standard mobile voice and texting services (emphasis added).
Reportedly, you can configure your smartphone so that it will not deliver weather or amber alerts but you cannot disable the Presidential alerts.
In October, MacWorld reported that iPhone5/iOS6 customers are a mixed bag:
"Some users also get new settings in the Notifications screen—at the bottom, grouped under Government Alerts—for enabling or disabling AMBER Alerts and Emergency Alerts. In our testing in the San Francisco Bay Area, Sprint and Verizon users see these settings, while AT&T users do not. However, the availability of these settings also appear to depend on your location: Responses to an informal poll of Twitter users indicate that Verizon users in some parts of the country get the settings, but those in other locations do not."
To find out what's up with your carrier, follow these links:
- Bluegrass Cellular
- Cellcom
- Cricket
- Sprint Nextel Corporation
- T-Mobile USA
- U.S. Cellular
- Verizon Wireless
Until the alerts have more useful contextual information, my recommendation is to turn them off. Download an app (free or paid) that will provide you with a contextual alert.
Screen capture from Eric Butler via Twitter. Post updated to include text of alert and suggested rewrite.

MS is a condition which, no matter how well we plan, takes us by surprise now and again. Go to bed "fine" wake up with part of our body not responding to a call to action. A simple battle with the circulating bug du jour and a fever sits you down like a crumpled boxer in his corner. Vertigo, which can make a turn of the head into a cyclone-spiral to the floor…
MS can really wring one out…with little warning!
I'm currently on a planned slide into anemia after my treatment on Monday. I've been able to pretty much plan a lighter schedule (ok, who am I kidding?) knowing that I'd be far from 100%. Still there are things which should get done by me. It's just taking a little extra effort.
So, it got me to thinking about those times when our requirements wander beyond the "should" and into the "must".
We've had conversations about this in the past; most likely, I've stirred that pot when I wasn't feeling well or was overwhelmed by my schedule.
A busy spring/holiday weekend is upon us and it seemed to be a good time to flirt with the topic once again.
How do you manage to get done the things which must be done when MS makes even the simplest tasks Herculean?
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Why are Bill Gates and Dustin Moskovitz, the richest and youngest billionaires in America, laughing? Let's just say my joke was so funny, someone bought it, and I no longer have the rights to tell it… I have wanted to photograph Bill Gates for a long time, and my opportunity finally came around a couple of months ago when Forbes called. Dustin, is one of the four co-founders of Facebook, and since he is 8 days younger than Mark Zuckerberg, he is the youngest billionaire in the world. As you would expect, time was extremely limited for this shoot. We were given one and a half hours to set up the studio shot, and then I would have the first 10 minutes of the interview, and the last 10 minutes of the interview to take pictures. Immediately after the interview we had 3 minutes for hair and makeup and 7 minutes to photograph both Dustin and Bill. It was a whirlwind, but I am really happy with how everything turned out, not to mention it was a pretty cool experience to sit in on a conversation with these two. You can read the Forbes article here.
Here are a couple of shots I took after the shoot of the studio lighting setup.
For the interview image I used a Canon 5D Mark II with an on camera flash which I bounced off a wall to fill in with the natural light coming in from the back windows. The studio setup was a bit more elaborate, and I used my Hasselblad H3DII-31 Camera with the Hasselblad H 80mm Lens for the portraits. For lighting, I used two Profoto Giant 150 Silver Reflectors. One as the key, and one for fill. The Wescott 45" Umbrella was used to brighten up the right side of the background, and I used two Profoto 1×3 Softboxes as edge lights for the subjects. A lonely Elinchrom Ranger head on an Elinchrom RX 1100 Watt Battery pack snuck it's way in, poking out over the top of the seamless as a hair light. Aside from the Ranger, the Profoto lights were powered by Profoto Acute 2400 watt power supplys, and one Profoto AcuteB2 600Ws AirS LiFe Power Pack.

Devon [1] (also known, far less commonly, as "Devonshire") is a large county in England's West Country, bordered to the west by Cornwall and to the east by Dorset and Somerset. Uniquely amongst English counties, Devon has two separate coastlines: to the south, on the English Channel and to the north, on the Irish Sea and Bristol Channel. These are studded with resort towns, harbours and (more recently) surfing beaches. Devon is also home to two National Parks - Dartmoor and Exmoor - and includes the island of Lundy in the Bristol Channel / Irish Sea.
Other destinations
The name "Devon" derives from the Celtic people who inhabited the southwest of Britain at the time of the Roman invasion, the Dumnonii.
Devon has produced tin, copper and other metals throughout its history. Tin was found in the granite of Dartmoor, and copper in the areas around the moor. In the eighteenth century, Devon Great Consols mine (near Tavistock) was believed to be the largest copper mine in the world.
Devon has the highest coastline in southern England and Wales on it's Exmoor seaboard. The "hob-backed" hills of the exmoor national park tumble down to the coast on Devon's Bristol Channel coast, culminating at the awesome "Great Hangman", a 1043ft hill with a cliff-face of 820 foot, while the "Little Hangman" has a cliff-face of 716 foot. The best way to see these cliffs is from a boat trip from Ilfracombe or (occcassionally) Lynmouth or Swansea; the ferry sevice from Penarth in South Wales to Ilfracombe also passes by this massive coastline (see below).
Devon's Hartland point is the south-west limit of the Bristol Channel; in other words where the Bristol Channel meets the atlantic ocean. The northern limit is St Anne's Head in Pembrokeshire, forty-eight miles from Hartland Point.
Many of the rocks that make up Deveon are exceptional specicimins of a geological Era, in homage to this, the geological period is called the 'Devonian', between 416 million years ago and 360 million years ago; Devon's Geological Sites include:

Get in
By train
Exeter has two main train stations, St. Davids (where most long-distance services call,) and Central. Central, unsurprisingly, is closer to the centre of town, but the two are within a short walk of one another.
If visiting from Cornwall, the railway will take you across the Royal Albert Bridge from Saltash (in Cornwall) into Devon. When crossing this bridge, you will enjoy marvelous views of the River Tamar, which it crosses.
If visiting from the south, the railway line between London (Waterloo) and Exeter via Salisbury will transport you into east Devon, with connections with other parts of Devon at Exeter (St Davids station).
If visiting from Somerset and places north of London and Bristol, the Great Western Main Line will take you to Tiverton Parkway station (a few miles away from Tiverton itself) and then to Exeter. It will then carry on to Newton Abbot (where the line to Torquay and Paignton diverges from the main line) to Plymouth and then to Cornwall.
By road
The M5 is the only motorway to enter Devon. Coming from Bristol to the north-east, it terminates in Exeter, where it splits into the A30 and the A38.
There is a once-daily Megabus service to Exeter from London Victoria (and vice versa,) but this ultra-economy service can be very uncomfortable and very late.
A park and ride service is available, see National Park and Ride Directory
By boat
It is possible to travel to Ilfracombe in North Devon from Penarth and Swansea in South Wales on the paddle steamers Waverly and Balmoral. The Penarth to Ilfracombe journey is particularly scenic, as you also get to see the picturesque towns of Lynton, Lynmouth, the "Valley of the Rocks" and the awesome Great Hangman (the highest cliff in Devon at 1043ft). Leisurely traveling to Devon on a paddle steamer is certainly superior to driving there on the often congested M5!!! There is also a strong possibility of a fast catermaran Ilfracombe ferry to Swansea in a year or two's time.
By plane
There is one (small) international airport in Devon, Exeter International (http://www.exeter-airport.co.uk). Regional flights from Gatwick, Mancherster, Leeds and Bristol also go to Plymouth Airport (http://www.plymouthairport.com).
Get around
By bus
The cream tea, involving scones, jam and clotted cream, is a local speciality and may well have originated in Devon (although neighbouring counties also claim it); in many countries, however, this combination is known as Devonshire Tea.
Stay safe
Devon is a very safe place to live and visit. Crime levels are well below the average for England, this is in part a reflection of Devon's rural population distribution.
Get out
The county of Cornwall lies to the west of Devon, Dorset and Somerset to the east and north.

Nerd-favorite "Mythbusters" is one of the select few shows that conducts and teaches real science on television. The 10-year-old program puts urban legends and TV/film clichés to the test using the scientific method and judges whether the results confirm or bust the myth.
But co-hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman are also former special effects experts and curious, funny characters in their own right, so a large part of the Discovery Channel series' appeal is its balance of entertainment and education.
"The biggest inspiration for all of us is without a doubt Bill Nye," said Mythbuster build-team member Tory Belleci, referring to the "Science Guy" educator and TV host. "We do our best to make sure the science in the show is accurate, and we have a team of researchers constantly checking to make sure we get it right."
That, in addition to the show's consistently loyal audience, explains why "Mythbusters" is coming to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science this week. "Mythbusters: The Explosive Exhibition" runs Oct. 11 through Jan. 5 with interactive exhibits, live demonstrations and a gallery of props and gadgets from the show.
We caught up with Belleci via email this week to find out more.

RICHMOND, Va. – You make your own luck. That has been the formula for former VCU standout Dominic Oduro over the last year.
In 2011, Oduro put together his finest professional season in MLS, scoring a team-high 12 goals, playing in 33 matches and drawing 29 starts for the Chicago Fire.
Oduro's performance caught the eye of those watching back home in Ghana, as this week he earned his first ever appearance with Ghana's Senior National Team, the first such appearance at any level of Ghana's Football Association for Oduro.
The Accra, Ghana, native was called up to the Black Stars, the Senior National Team for Ghana, for this Wednesday's match at PPL Park in Philadelphia against Chile.
"It's really exciting for me," said Oduro to Chicago Fire Team Writer Jeff Crandell from Fire preseason camp in Charleston, S.C. "I think as a player its one of your dreams to play for your country. Being called upon is something I've been looking forward to for a long time and it really feels like one of my dreams coming true."
Oduro played for VCU from 2004-05, where he earned CAA Player of the Year honors and garnered third team All-America recognition.

FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA (WJLA/CNN) - Authorities in Northern Virginia say an alleged murder-suicide of a mother and her daughter was actually a double homicide.
A family member stands accused of the killings.
For the last year, neighbors thought a murder-suicide unfolded inside a McLean, VA, home.
But investigators say they quickly learned something more sinister happened inside.
"(The) scene was staged to look one way. We know it wasn't," said Maj. Ed O'Carroll.
Detectives say Megan Hargan was just playing the part of a grieving loved one last July when her sister Helen and mother Pamela were found shot to death.
Fairfax County officers indeed thought they were dealing with a murder-suicide.
But detectives took a closer look, and soon realized the scene was staged and Hargan was the killer.
"We are not going to get into the specifics of what and what wasn't staged. I will tell you that it was made to look one way. Our detectives are smart," O'Carroll said.
So, where was Hargan around the time of the murder? Investigators believe trying to steal money from her mom.
Detectives say they interviewed Hargan twice and uncovered evidence that led them to Friday's indictment.
Hargan was arrested during a traffic stop near her West Virginia home where she will soon face a judge for the murder charges in Northern Virginia.
"I'm thankful it was a safe encounter this morning and she's in custody," O'Carroll said.

Advanced Problems in Mathematics: Preparing for UniversityStephen Siklos
This book is intended to help students prepare for entrance examinations in mathematics and scientific subjects, including STEP (Sixth Term Examination Papers). STEP examinations are used by Cambridge colleges as the basis for conditional offers in mathematics and sometimes in other mathematics-related subjects. They are also used by Warwick University, and many other mathematics departments recommend that their applicants practice on past papers to become accustomed to university-style mathematics.
Advanced Problems in Mathematics is recommended as preparation for any undergraduate mathematics course, even for students who do not plan to take the Sixth Term Examination Paper. The questions analysed in this book are all based on recent STEP questions selected to address the syllabus for Papers I and II, which is the A-level core (i.e. C1 to C4) with a few additions. Each question is followed by a comment and a full solution. The comments direct the reader's attention to key points and put the question in its true mathematical context. The solutions point students to the methodology required to address advanced mathematical problems critically and independently.
This book is a must read for any student wishing to apply to scientific subjects at university level and for anybody interested in advanced mathematics.
Please note that in this book the mathematical formulas are encoded in MathML. While reading the HTML version, you can right-click on any of the formulas to display the underlying code.

Ottawa gave the green light to the multibillion-dollar Alberta-to-West Coast project, subject to 209 conditions recommended by a regulatory panel late last year.
But Enbridge still needs to cross a number of federal and provincial regulatory hurdles, fight a bevy of legal battles launched by opponents and win over communities along the proposed route.
Enbridge CEO Al Monaco described the economic case as "straightforward" for a pipeline that would connect growing oilsands crude with eager buyers on the other side of the Pacific.
But he acknowledged that's not enough to proceed.
"If we can't prove out safety and environmental protection on these projects, the economic benefits won't matter," he said in a conference call with reporters.
"In other words, the economic benefits alone are not enough to sustain public support."
Enbridge will be working to meet the panel's conditions — more than 100 of which must be met before shovels can even hit the dirt — during the next 12 to 15 months. The earliest possible in-service date would be 2018.
He said Enbridge won't put off building the pipeline indefinitely, but it's in no hurry to give it the final go-ahead either.
"We're not going to be driven by our calendars or watches here. We're going to take this one step at a time," said Monaco.
On the call, Monaco touted the slate of pipelines it has in the hopper to connect Alberta crude to eastern and southern markets.
The good news, some observers say, is that Enbridge has time to look westward.
"There is some flexibility on timing to ensure that it's done right," said Greg Stringham, with the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.
CAPP predicts that oilsands production will hit 4.8 million barrels per day by 2030, about two and a half times higher than last year's output of 1.9 million barrels.
At that point, the capacity of all pipelines currently proposed will be needed, said Stringham.
Jack Mintz, with the University of Calgary's School of Public Policy, said demand from new markets isn't going to diminish.
"There's huge Asian coker demand for oil and I think that demand is not going to disappear," he said.
"In fact, the Asian market is actually the growing market for oil products and there is a very big demand for Canadian oil."
Laura Lau, a senior portfolio manager with the Brompton Group, agrees the window of opportunity should stay open for some time, given the rate at which oilsands production is expected to grow.
"We still need as many pipelines as possible, so perhaps it would be past the end of this decade," she said.
However, Lau believes other pipeline proposals to the south and east, such as TransCanada's Keystone XL and Energy East, have a much better chance of going ahead than Northern Gateway, given the First Nations and political challenges that are specific to British Columbia.
Enbridge's most recent estimates put the price tag of the project at $6.5 billion, but the company has said costs are sure to go up. The joint review panel's report pegged the cost at $7.9 billion, including $500 million for marine infrastructure.
"The ultimate question is whether the pipeline just becomes way too expensive to build," said Dylan Jones, with the Canada West Foundation.
"And if there's something that kills it, it's going to be a combination of the challenge of building support in British Columbia and the cost."
Jones praised the "humble" tone Enbridge's leadership has been taking lately on Northern Gateway and that he's optimistic the line will ultimately be built.
"It has never been good for Canada to be so dependent on the United States," said Jones. "Even if we secure a good access through the East Coast, there's still going to continue to be a strategic imperative for Canada around accessing the Pacific in a cost-effective way."
The Joint Review Panel set December 31, 2016 as a deadline for Enbridge to start building the project, unless the National Energy Board says otherwise.

Typhoon Haitang, which brought tremendous rainfall and caused dozens of casualties in Taiwan, yesterday was downgraded into a less-devastating tropical storm. However, the Central Weather Bureau (CWB) reminded people of the danger of potential flooding, because torrential rainfall is expected to continue over the next few days.
The strength of Haitang began decreasing after it made landafall in Taiwan late Sunday. Yesterday, it was classified as a tropical storm before it departed Taiwan on its way to China. However, forecasters said that people in Taiwan should still be vigilant for heavy rains.
As of yesterday, the bureau's statistics said that since Sunday, cumulative rainfall exceeding 1,000mm had been measured in many places in Taiwan. In the south, Pingtung County's Sandimen Township (
In Kaohsiung County, yesterday's torrential rains boosted cumulative rainfall to 1,384mm. In Ilan, many areas experienced rainfall exceeding 1,000mm. Forecasters said that peripheral air currents surrounding Haitang would bring heavy rain to Taiwan, and people must be alert over the following days.
According to George Lu (呂國臣), a division chief at the bureau's Weather Forecast Center, torrential rains will continue today in the central, southern, and southeastern parts of the country.
"Residents should avoid carrying out activities in mountains and on the beaches. Heavy rains might trigger mudflows, landslides and floods in mountainous areas," Lu said.
Because of up-to-date rainfall statistics, the number of watercourses in "critical danger" of flooding has been increased from 185 to 553 yesterday by the Council of Agriculture (COA). Meanwhile, 867 watercourses have also been identified as having the potential danger of flooding.
The council said yesterday that Haitang had caused NT$1.32 billion (US$41.4 million) in financial losses in the agricultural sector. Many crops have been ruined. Farmers in the most seriously affected counties, including Miaoli, Kaohsiung, Hualien and Taitung, will be entitled to compensation through financial aid for their losses.
The passage of Haitang has also increased the turbidity of river water. The Taiwan Water Supply Corporation (TWSC) said yesterday that water restrictions in some communities in southern Taoyuan County will be solved within days. Due to the turbidity, a single water treatment plant in the county can only treat 400,000 tonnes of water a day, rather than 600,000 tonnes as is usual. However, TWSC officials said that trucks carrying potable water would remain available for affected people at all times.
Meanwhile, Japanese water experts have been invited by TWSC to check the functioning of the Shihmen Dam (石門水庫), a major reservoir in the north of the county, because some water intakes malfunctioned after Haitang hit Taiwan. To make sure water reserves in the reservoir are available, engineers for the Water Resources Agency have been working on the establishment of pumps as alternatives.
Meanwhile, the center of the typhoon landed in China near Lianjiang County, Fujian Province just after 5pm yesterday, an official at the provincial disaster relief bureau said by telephone.

Linksys ADSL2MUE is an ADSL2/2+ capable router/modem based on the Texas Instruments AR7 architecture. Marketed in the United Kingdom, France, Australia, Germany and a few other countries not including the United States of America.
If you are looking for a modem this might not be what you are looking for. Although advertised as a modem, it is actually a router with some sort of bridging capabilities.
Hardware resources
Based on Texas Instruments AR7 architecture it includes a few other chips on board, such as ethernet and ADSL transformers. TI does not provide with much information about the architecture and answers with a "this is for OEM eyes only" when asked for more information.
This device provides ADSL, ethernet and USB conectivity only.
- Ethernet: One on-chip fast ethernet 10/100 port attached to a transformer from Delta Electronics labeled LF8505 DELTA 0448W).
- USB: One USB 1.1 port.
- ADSL: One on-chip adsl port attached to an ADSL2 transformer from Linkcomm Manufacturing labeled LAL0671 LINKCOM 0450. Advertised explicitly as AR7 compatible.
- On-board RAM memory: One chip of synchronous SDRAM formatted as 1Mx32x4bank module makeing up 128Mbit (16Mbytes) of RAM space. Manufactured by Glink and labeled as GLT51280L16-6TC 412 9P3030902.
- On-board Flash memory: Four MBytes of memory on a single chip from Macronix Incorporated. Its part numbers is MX29LV320ABTC-90G and the chip is labeled as MX E042469 29LV320ABTC-90G 2K085800A1 TAIWAN.
- Microcontroller: Texas Instruments AR7RD labeled TNETD7300AGDW 49ZND69 with uilt-in ADSL and Ethernet interfaces.
- Serial ports: Two serial ports. One of them used as system console at 38400,8,N,1. Another unused.
Flash memory addressing
This info might prove useless, but not all addresing range available for flash is used.
- mtd2 block: from 0x90000000 to 0x90010000 contains on 64 KBytes the PSPBoot binary.
- mtd3 block: from 0x90010000 to 0x90020000 contains 64KBytes of NVRAM configuration and environment.
- mtd1 block: from 0x90020000 to 0x900a0000 contains 512 Kbytes
- mtd0 block: from 0x900a0000 to 0x90400000 contains 3456 KBytes
Addresing the flash requires the first seven bits to be 1011 000x, the next tree are meaningless and the other 22 bits walk along the full flash chip (2^22 equals 4MB of Flash mem).
1011 000x xxmm mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm
where 1011 000 is the "chip select" for flash mem, x represents any value in binary and m represents a single bit within the real flash address.

Partially GPL'd software can be downloaded from the UK office of Linkys at the GPL link show at the Linksys GPL code center.
As many AR7 based devices do, Linksys ADSL2MUE violates GPL license because only partial sources are released. Visit GPL Violations web site for more information on this.
Software features
With the default oficial firmware this device has four modes of operation:
- Router with PPPoA over the WAN
- Router with PPPoE over the WAN
- Router with RFC1483 bridged over the WAN
- Bridge with RFC1483 bridged over the WAN
All three router modes NAT support is fair enough for outgoing purposes but will not let you do any port forwarding to the inside.
The only modem capabilities the device shows is called brige mode. This mode interconnects a native ethernet network or an ethernet over USB network with a RFC1484 bridge mode network (ethernet switched over ATM/ADSL).
