Preventing Problems in Outboard Motors
The BoatUS policy holder was cruising at planing speed off the Florida coast in a 27-footer rigged with twin, 200-h.p., oil-injected outboards. Suddenly, the starboard motor began to lose power and had to be shut down. Back at the dock, a tear-down and inspection of the failed powerhead revealed massive damage due to overheating and subsequent water intrusion. The cause? The oil feed line had broken at its hose clamp and the engine had been running without lubrication.
The boat's owner swore that no low-oil alarm had sounded, and, in fact, the surveyor who examined the boat and outboard couldn't find one! How could that be? According to Lincoln Davis, a Mercury-certified master mechanic with 30 years of experience, "More than half the troubles we see at our dealership can be traced to faulty installation — the way the engine was initially set up on the boat." He explains the problem (Claim #921703) this way: "In most outboards, the low-oil sensor is on the engine itself, but the horn is part of the control box or the key-choke harness. If the installer used non-standard controls or an incorrect but still compatible harness, nobody would hear an alarm if the engine overheated."
Davis recites a litany of installation errors he has encountered, starting with a 25"-shaft motor bolted onto a 20" transom. That seemingly unthinkable misstep resulted in lots of spray and very sluggish performance due to the extra drag on the lower unit. He also describes an outboard that was set up with a wiring harness designed for a smaller engine, a blunder that caused an electrical short and subsequent fire behind the dash.
Less dramatic, but equally problematic, are installation mistakes like setting the outboard too high on the transom, which results in severe propeller cavitation; positioning the engine off-center, which makes the boat pull to port or starboard; using steering and/or control cables of the wrong length, which causes binding and premature failure; mounting the key switch so that water can drain into the ignition, which leads to short circuits and starting failures; and neglecting to treat both ends of every wiring connection with dielectric (non-conductive) grease, which also results in shorts and, sometimes, fires.
Boat owners don't have a lot of control over these aspects of the installation process, but — whether your outboard is brand new or several years old — you and your mechanic can go over each of the areas mentioned to confirm that they were handled properly. And, since your engine's warning systems are the best line of defense against $5,000 repair bills, ask your dealer — each year — to short out the alarm horn so that it sounds off in your presence. According to Davis, built-in sensors rarely fail, but alarm-system wiring and horns develop problems readily — especially in salt water.
The Proper Prop
There's another step you can take to minimize wear-and-tear on your engine. Ask your mechanic to identify the size and type of propeller on your outboad, make sure there is a working tachometer on board and ask what the tach should read at wide-open throttle.
This process is critical because next to installing the motor properly and using the highest-quality two-cycle oil (more on this later), correctly propping an outboard is the most important factor in engine life. Here, "pitch" is the crucial element. Simply put, pitch — expressed in inches — is the distance a propeller would travel forward in one complete revolution under ideal conditions, i.e., no cavitation, slippage, or friction.
"Underpropping", which means installing a propeller with too little pitch, can lead to over-revving the outboard, causing subsequent failure of the reed valves (one-way "gates" between the carburetors and crankcase) and even the crankshaft. Both are very expensive to replace. Conversely, "overpropping", or installing a wheel with too much pitch, can result in coking of the rings, predetonation (usually undetectable), and, so, piston failure, necessitating a costly rebuild. With the high alcohol content and generally poor quality of today's gasoline, says Lincoln Davis, the likelihood of this latter problem occurring is very high.
As a rule of thumb, after break-in, an outboard should be able to run at or near its maximum rated r.p.m. when lightly loaded. This benchmark provides a margin for those times when extra weight (like water skiers or additional passengers) causes a drop in r.p.m. If, despite your dealer's assurances, you find that your engine isn't operating at the right r.p.m., ask that the prop be changed to one of more appropriate pitch. (The dealer may also recommend a wheel of different diameter and/or blade design, as these factors also affect an outboard's performance and, therefore, its longevity.)
A final note: At some point, you're going to hit a log or rock, thereby bending or breaking one or more of the blades on your propeller. This may, or may not, cause noticeable vibration and/or cavitation, but it will almost certainly alter the effective dimensions of your wheel. The undamaged propeller might have been the right one for your boat/motor combination, but impact may have changed both pitch and diameter, leaving you either underpropped or overpropped. Have your wheel rebuilt (usually about $50-$75) or — if the damage is too severe — buy a new one.
A Healthy Diet
Even if your outboard was installed and propped correctly, other factors that are completely beyond the control of your dealer or mechanic can lead to serious problems.
As everybody knows by now, gasoline refiners have taken out the lead and introduced all sorts of additives to boost performance. Under EPA mandate, some areas of the country get only "reformulated," or "oxygenated," fuel, whose makeup may vary from place to place and truckload to truckload. Nor is the quality of gasoline the same from one region to the next. All of this is bad news for outboard owners.
Low octane, now a fact of life, can lead to piston meltdown if the outboard's timing is advanced too far or if the engine is running too lean. (Unfortunately, both conditions usually go undetected until the engine breaks down or is examined by a mechanic.) Today's gas is also much more likely to create carbon buildup on the piston rings, whether or not the engine is propped correctly. BoatUS Marine Insurance Claim #928471 proves both the above points. When the seized outboard in question was disassembled, the number-five piston and the adjacent cylinder wall were all but destroyed.
Here's what the surveyor concluded: "The powerhead damage is a result of a lean fuel mixture and poor quality fuel — despite reports of only 'high test' use — resulting in high carbon buildup and stuck rings. This condition led to overheating and piston disintegration due to the higher temperatures — not an entirely uncommon finding in recent powerhead failures."
Do such cases mean that all outboards will develop serious fuel-related problems? Certainly not, says Lincoln Davis: "In general, engines built after 1988 can handle today's gas if they are properly tuned and otherwise maintained on a regular basis."
Unfortunately, however, the gas of the 90s harbors yet another demon. The alcohols — particularly ethanol — that are now routinely added to gasoline in many refineries attract water from the air. Collecting in your fuel tank, H2O is then fed to the outboard, where pistons can't compress it, spark plugs can't ignite it, and internal metal surfaces succumb to its corrosive properties. To make matters worse, water can work its way into a fuel system even if there's no alcohol in the gasoline. Condensation inside metal tanks is one source, particularly in boats that see intermittent use. Loose or cracked fuel lines, as well as untightened fuel-fill caps, can also allow water intrusion. Regardless of the means, the results can be disasterous.
Several claims in the BoatUS files illustrate this point dramatically. In one case (Claim #9404959), a 200-h.p., V-6 outboard suffered catastrophic failure halfway across the Gulf Stream, resulting in a long tow. A tear-down of the engine revealed that the powerhead, carburetors, and fuel-system components were all severely damaged by the water that had accumulated in the fuel tank. Similar water-related havoc was discovered in Claim #921934MP, where the surveyor reported "The seal for the inlet servicing the main tank is not watertight. In addition, the clamp that secures the hose from the inlet to the tank itself was not adequately tightened and slid down the length of the hose."
Obviously, the average boat owner has no control over the amount of alcohol in the gasoline at the local pump, but it is possible to prevent the damage water-contaminated fuel can cause inside a two-stroke outboard. First, you and/your mechanic should carefully check all the hoses, connections, and fittings involved in delivering gas to your engine. Look for leaks, cracks, and looseness that might invite water. Doubling up hose clamps throughout the system is an excellent preventative measure.
Second, if your boat has an internal fuel tank (or even a large, above-decks reservoir), your outboard should be set up with a remotely mounted water-separating filter. There are several types, but most of the mechanics we talked to recommend a Racor unit that has a clear plastic "bowl" at the bottom of the screw-on metal canister. Fitted with a drain, this design allows you to detect water virtually at a glance and allows you to remove it without disassembling the whole filter system. Needless to say, however, the Racor, and every other type of separator, can be overwhelmed by large quantities of water. Always carry spare filters.
Battling the Black Stuff
As for the carbon deposits — the piston-ring "coking" — mentioned earlier, veteran outboard mechanics advise a two-pronged strategy: First, use aerosol "de-carboning" spray at the intervals recommended by your engine's manufacturer (usually every 50 hours). Some Johnson/Evinrude outboards have a fitting onto which you can screw the end of the short length of tubing that's attached to the can of OMC's formulation. In other cases, you'll have to spray the stuff right into the carburetor(s). Adhering slavishly to this de-carboning routine can as much as double the working life of an outboard that's particularly prone to coking (some models are far worse than others; talk to your dealer).
The second and even more important damage-avoidance weapon in the outboard owner's arsenal is TCW-3 oil. This latest generation of lubricants for water-cooled, two-stroke engines is specifically designed to counteract the carbon buildup that results from today's gasoline. These oils are also extraordinarily "emissable", meaning that they blend thoroughly with gasoline — and stay blended. Note, however, that TCW-3 is a standard, not a brand. On the one hand are a host of relatively inexpensive, "no-name" oils carrying this designation; on the other are the TCW-3 lubricants made to the specifications of the major outboard manufacturers. "I don't care if you use Mercury, Yamaha, or OMC oil," says Mercury mechanic Davis, "but don't buy the cheap off-brand stuff! When I pull an outboard apart, I can tell right away how much money the owner has been spending on oil."
Beating the Heat
As indicated by the examples already cited, the vast majority of outboard-related claims in the BoatUS files involve outboards damaged by overheating. However, we haven't yet discussed the two most common causes of this usually fatal condition: blockage of the water-intake louvers in the lower unit and failure of the water-pump impeller.
Our records show that blockage usually occurs at speed, when the outboard snags a plastic bag or a piece of broad-leaf seaweed like kelp. In no time — a matter of seconds at cruising r.p.m. — the flow of cooling water to the powerhead is interrupted and one or more of its component parts overheat to the point of failure. Is such damage preventable? Yes, but only if your rig has a working temperature alarm and only if you respond to the alarm instantly, by shutting down the outboard and clearing the blockage.
Unfortunately, many boat operators hear the horn and think, "I wonder what that's telling me? Maybe its just a false alarm." By then, it's too late. And, as one Florida Member discovered (Claim #9307100), a dash-mounted temperature gauge is little help. Here, as in most cases, by the time the needle registered a problem — and the helmsman noticed it — the extensive powerhead damage was already done.
The water-pump impeller, located in your outboard's lower unit, is the critical element in the engine's cooling system. Essentially a small rubber paddlewheel that rotates on a metal hub within a plastic or metal housing, it's rather vulnerable. Sand or mud in the water can lead to abrasion and premature failure; gasoline by-products can erode the bond between the hub and the rubber around it, causing slippage and rendering the impeller ineffective; momentary overheating can damage the impeller blades; and simple age and normal wear-and-tear can either impair the impeller's performance or cause it to fail completely when the blades shear.
To prevent the engine damage that quickly results from any of these scenarios, you must replace the impeller "regularly". The recommended interval varies from outboard to outboard and from manufacturer to manufacturer (you may have to make a phone call here; most owner's manuals don't list the interval). And, as noted, the number of hours you put on your engine, and the waters in which you operate also affect impeller life.
Suffice it to say that at least once a year, the lower unit should be "dropped" and the impeller inspected very carefully — especially for minute cracks and wear along the curl lines on the blades. At the same time, you or your mechanic should grease the splines at the top of the drive shaft and inspect, if not replace, the lubricant in the lower unit (check for fine metallic grit, a burned odor, and a milky color that would indicate water). Remove the propeller, too, and grease the splines on the shaft.
All the components dealt within this process — the impeller, drive shaft, and lower-unit gear set — are subject to exceptional stress, and failure in any of them will usually cause serious damage and huge repair bills.

I've landed on the planet Kristie Demke, to make first contact.
Kristie is the owner and operator of Organomics Professional Organizing. She is not just organized. She's a professional organizer.
My home world - my condo - is pretty much an archeological dig. Conceivably, Jimmy Hoffa is in there somewhere.
This makes me a stranger in a strange land today. But Kristie is friendly and warm as she welcomes me into her tidy, symmetrical world.
She even looks amused at my childish mussing of couch pillows, unstraightening of books and misaligning of figurines.
"Knock yourself out," says Kristie, who admits to being a bit naughty herself on occasion.
"This morning my cereal bowl was left out on the table for an extended period of time."
Which only goes to prove that Kristie, aside from being the most organized person I've ever met, isn't preachy about it. Phew.
Kristie and Glen, married 25 years ago, are originally from Saskatoon. Glen is a partner at KPMG.
Kristie organizes people, small businesses, hospitals, schools, government departments. She's the past president of the Professional Organizers of Canada, where meetings always start on time and nothing ends up in lost-and-found, says Kristie with a smile.
The couple bought this home about two years ago. It's adjacent to Hole 11 at the Edmonton Golf and Country Club.
Glen's a longtime member and volunteer at the club.
The first tee is but a short walk from home. In his home office is a framed scorecard of his hole-in-one round.
His office is in the basement. Hers is on the second floor. They both work long hours and Kristie says they often meet on the main floor in the evening for a wind-down drink and the same toast every time: "Nice house."
It is a nice house. In fact, Glen and Kristie bought it lickety-split after first laying eyes on it.
Only afterwards did they remark: "Hey, there's no back door."
Actually, there's no need for one. The front garage is attached. The lower level opens up to the backyard.
Glen even put a gate in the back fence so he could reach the walking path to the clubhouse.
The house is 4,200 square feet on its three levels, with five bedrooms and as many bathrooms.
The couple was struck immediately by the home's high ceilings, cherrywood floors and feeling of open spaces. They also liked the detailed trim work, the decorative beams and the original owner's design quirks:
- There's an "island" in the large walk-in closet-cum-dressing room, off the master bedroom. The island, with extra drawers, is perfect for last-minute ironing, or laying out clothes.
- The closet/dressing room has a shoe "wing" fit for Imelda Marcos. "Every woman needs a shoe wing," says Kristie.
- There's a built-in wall steamer in the kitchen. Who has a built in steamer appliance? The Demkes do and it's fabulous for steaming fish, vegetables and re-heating leftovers.
- The main-floor laundry room has a built-in, dropdown ironing board, hidden behind an elegant, wooden roll shutter.
- The bathroom off the spacious, upstairs master bedroom includes an honest-to-god bidet, as well as a round, deep, Japanese-style soaker tub.
Meanwhile, the dining room offers a big view of the woods out back.
The kitchen is lovely yet functional, with its maple cabinets, granite counters and cabinets with rollout drawers.
Near the door to the garage is another shoe wing. Glen's. Yes, men need shoe wings, too, thank you very much.
The stairs are carpeted, which I also fully endorse. Some stairs in modern homes are a slip-slide away from making some orthopod rich.
Downstairs is the TV room, with a couch for Glen and a couch for Kristie.
One bathroom each, too. The one off Glen's office is known as the executive washroom.
And yes, everything is in its place, on all three floors.
One example: The luggage, kept in an upstairs storage room is filed according to size, in descending order.
Kristie says organization is really kind of Zen. Removing clutter from the environment seems to remove clutter from the mind.
Organization brings calm, focus and all those other good things I don't experience.
Sure, Kristie sometimes comes home and tosses her coat one way and her shoes another.
They just don't stay out-of-place for long.
Clutter, she says, is kind of sad, if you really think about it.
"Clutter is just homeless stuff."
Perhaps that's true on her planet. On mine, we have a saying.
Live long ... and clutter. Scott can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com for comments or suggestions for future features on unique or beautiful homes in the Edmonton region.
Neat and tidy makes for Zen retreat

Education float from the 1922 Parade (addditional VEISHEA parade images can be found online, along with other VEISHEA images).
Next week marks the beginning of VEISHEA, Iowa State's spring celebration and the largest student-run celebration in the country. In addition to all of the 2012 events going on throughout the week, VEISHEA will also be celebrating its 90th anniversary! VEISHEA was first celebrated in May 1922, a combination of Iowa State's various spring celebrations which had previously occurred separately each spring: St. Patrick's Day (Engineers), Ag Carnival (Agriculture), HEC Day (Home Economics Club), and May Day (started by Women's Athletic Association).
What was that first 1922 VEISHEA like? The 1922 program for VEISHEA is available online, and gives a brief glimpse into the humor and activities which were a part of the first celebration, which took place May 11-13. As the program states, the reasons for an all-college celebration were:
"Primary Purpose of Exposition: To eliminate the break in college work caused by five divisional celebrations, on five week-ends of two terms.
Resulting Purpose of Exposition: To develop the spirit of unity, unity between Iowa State College and Iowa people, unity between AMES and high school students, unity between alumni and students, unity between the students of the five divisions."
One could easily say that these purposes from that first VEISHEA ninety years ago are clearly not outdated ninety years later, but are still an almost unchanged, central part of our VEISHEA celebrations as this year's 2012 theme illustrates: "VEISHEA, A Timeless Tradition". In fact, the name of VEISHEA itself reflects the emphasis on unity Iowa State expressed, and continues to express, through its VEISHEA celebrations. VEISHEA is an acronym for the five divisions which in 1922 made up Iowa State: Veterinary, Engineering, Industrial Science, Home Economics, and Agriculture.
1922 Physics float, complete with telescope, Benjamin Franklin, and Galileo.
A central event of the 1922 VEISHEA, as is still the case, was the parade. The 1922 VEISHEA parade began bright and early at 9 o'clock that Friday, May 12th morning. As the program states, "The VEISHEA parade…is the first big parade signifying the unity of the five divisions in one all-college exposition. The first part of the parade is a pageant developing the history of Iowa from the prehistoric glacial epoch to the present time; the rest of the parade shows Iowa State as we see it today and demonstrates in a small way what Ames is doing for Iowa."
As these parade images show, some floats were pulled by automobiles and others by horses. This horse-pulled float shows that "Hort products feed the world."
In addition to the photographs and program, we have also recently made the programs for the 1922 May Fete and the 1922 Nite Show (which later became Stars Over VEISHEA) available online through Scribd.
Wondering how you can learn more about VEISHEA celebrations and its timeless traditions? Swing by the University Archives to look through our VEISHEA Records (the records are organized by decade, and the finding aids describing the contents can be found listed here under RS 22/12). In addition, we have many of our VEISHEA photographs available online. A selection of VEISHEA film footage can be found on our YouTube channel under Iowa State University Films. You can also page through The Bomb, Iowa State's yearbook, to see a glimpse of each year's VEISHEA. The Bomb available in the General Collection, call number LD2548 Io9b, or in the Special Collections' Reading Room.
We also have an online exhibit about the history of VEISHEA. The exhibit contains a bibliography listing other resources related to VEISHEA available in our department. We also have several other blog posts related to VEISHEA: pre-VEISHEA celebrations, St. Patrick's Day (engineers), and Stars Over VEISHEA.
These records and histories speak to us about the history of VEISHEA, but also about how those previous VEISHEAs helped set the stage for this year's. As the 1922 program states:
"Next year, and in all the years to come, there will be greater and better Veisheas. Each succeeding year, it is hoped, will see greater and greater numbers of Iowans availing themselves of the opportunity to get acquainted with their college."
Check out all of this year's VEISHEA events and activities here!

After getting an extensive scouting report from Bob Brenly, the Diamondbacks pulled the trigger and acquired Tony Campana today, I'm kidding….I think. Today, one week after designating Tony Campana, the Cubs managed to trade him to the Diamondbacks for two 17-year-old pitching prospects. I use the term prospects loosely as these kids have not pitched above rookie ball. Erick Leal, and Jesus Castillo are the players the Cubs will receive in the deal, and considering the Cubs have no use for Campana it seems like a worthwhile return for him. Best of luck to Tony Campana who now has an opportunity to battle for a position off the D-Backs bench, something that was not available to him this year with the Cubs. I like Tony, the guy has had the odds against him his whole life, his size, and he also overcame Hodgkin's lymphoma. He required surgery at age 7 to remove a tumor, followed by eight months of chemotherapy — then 10 more years of checkups and tests until he was in remission long enough for doctors to declare him cured. So battling for a position off the bench during spring training is nothing he can't handle, best of luck Campy.
Thanks for reading,
– George

IN the early mornings, when the ocean is enveloped in fog and the scent of wild iris hangs in the air, the possibility for solitude can be found on a wind-tossed path. Deer eyes stare from slender meadow grasses, and a curve in the trail along the headlands can unexpectedly yield a squadron of pelicans zooming skyward on ocean thermals.
At Sea Ranch even the name has an aura it is possible at once to lose and to find yourself on a path, following it past tumbledown picket fences to a driftwood throne on a secluded beach. When the architects Charles W. Moore, Joseph Esherick, William Turnbull, Donlyn Lyndon, and Richard Whitaker and the landscape architect Lawrence Halprin conceived this place along a mystical 10-mile stretch of California coast in the early 1960s, they courted the wind. They measured it, observed the way its salty gusts sculptured the cypress trees.
Eventually, they would tame the wind in architecture, its force poetically echoed in the angled plank roofs and slanted towers of the original building, Condominium One, an austere Shaker-like ode to nature's power and the first of many groundbreaking structures at Sea Ranch.
The wind still holds sway at this once-idealistic second-home community, where man and nature are engaged in an intricate dance. Sea Ranch has achieved a sort of a cult status among architecture mavens, who house-gawk rather than bird-watch, bearing a glossy tome by Mr. Lyndon, a spiritual dean of Sea Ranch, as a guide. They come to see a style forged by A-list architects (shed roofs to deflect the wind, windows punched through redwood boards) but perhaps more than that, to pay tribute to a big idea: the then-radical notion, influenced by Mr. Halprin's experience on a kibbutz, of open land held in common and houses designed in deference to nature.
Since moving to the Bay Area nine years ago, my family and I have rented numerous houses at Sea Ranch, a place that for me has become the psychic equivalent of a tubercular Victorian's healing in a sanitarium. Over the years, I have gotten to know Mr. Halprin's landscape intimately, savoring the way the trails lead to salty cliffs alive with nesting cormorants and into dark, enchanted forests straight out of the Brothers Grimm.
Like many, I fantasized about what it might be like to experience some of Sea Ranch's most iconic houses, the ones designed by the guys who dreamed up the place before the sad arrival of what might be called Sea Ranch sprawl. This past summer, I finally got my wish, indulging in architectural promiscuity by renting Mr. Moore's fabled Unit 9 in Condominium One, a complex now on the National Register of Historic Places; an Obie Bowman-designed Walk-in Cabin; a Binker Barn designed by Mr. Turnbull; and, as the drum-rolling crescendo, or so I thought, one of the original Esherick houses tucked into a now-fetishized cypress hedgerow.
The timing was fortuitous: the Sea Ranch Lodge, the community's dated, killer-view hotel, is about to be Post Ranch-ified, as Passport Resorts, whose principals created the Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur and other high-end lodges, proceeds with an expansion. The company envisions a luxurious watering hole with 15 or so house-size cottages serviced by motorized carts spilling down 52 acres of now-pristine meadow.
They will by necessity be marketing seclusion. Just getting to Sea Ranch, about two and a half hours from San Francisco, requires negotiating a stomach-churning, acrophobia-inducing sliver of Highway 1. The payoff is a relatively undiscovered, unspoiled swath of California coast bordering Sonoma and Mendocino Counties and nicknamed Mendonoma that mercifully has yet to be mythologized à la Mendocino village or Big Sur.
CHARLES MOORE called Sea Ranch his "Mother Earth." All I could think of when I stepped into Unit 9 was that the little rat had kept the best place for himself.
I had this revelation while sipping coffee from a vintage Vignelli-designed mug in Mr. Moore's kitchen a riot of painted checkerboards overseen by a textile of frisky Indian goddesses. A misty cauldron of waves was churning madly against the cliffs that Condominium One, widely considered to be one of the most influential buildings of the 1960s, seems precariously perched upon. My teenage son, Gabe, and his two pals were still asleep, white iPod wires in their ears, visions of a winged cow, a wooden dinosaur, a shadow puppet, toy blocks spelling out M-O-O-R-E and a fragment of a Corinthian column dancing on wooden beams over their heads.
A restless global wanderer and voluminous author who collected university appointments the way he did Oaxacan clay pigs (Yale, U.C.L.A., Berkeley, etc.), Mr. Moore, who died in 1993, possessed an infinite capacity for joy that was expressed in his architecture. "I think that fairy tales have a great deal to teach us architects," he once wrote. The way that most magical adventures, he observed, "end in time for tea seems to me worth careful looking into."
His twinkly view of the universe lives on in Unit 9, which has been delightfully frozen in amber by his family, who still own it, down to the papier-mâché ponies and abalone shells inserted into the 14th-century tile ceiling fragment on the wall. It thus has become a shrine for architects, whose rhapsodies fill the guest register.
Hovering gluttonously over the ocean, the condo was Mr. Moore's salon-by-the-sea, filled with students and a blizzard of manuscripts. Today, it is a powerful argument for the afterlife, an indoor fairy tale with a four-poster bedroom loft held up by logs, creating a cozy shelter underneath. For Gabe and his friends, Pete and Gabe D., a cadre of teenage Coppolas equipped with a digital movie camera who had resoundingly rejected Mr. Moore's leftover jigsaw puzzles of Queen Elizabeth in Parliament and the Tokyo subway system, it was the perfect place to plot a literal cliffhanger.
My most vivid memory of Mr. Moore, whom I interviewed six years before his death, involved the spectacle of the architect as human periscope, swimming in the pool around midnight at his compound in Austin, Tex., and clutching a flashlight aimed at the water so that he'd be able to spot wayward tarantulas.
Puttering around the kitchen the morning of my visit, admiring Mr. Moore's global tchotchkes, I realized things were getting weird. "Where does Charles keep the vacuum cleaner?" I muttered to myself. "I wonder if Charles has a steamer."
I knew Mr. Moore had worked his magic when I found Gabe sprawled on the turquoise cushions of the saddlebag a trademark Moore feature in which windows project out of the main space gazing at the horizon. "Hey, Mom," he wondered. "If you went straight across the ocean, where would you be?"
Daydreaming is the emotional agenda at Sea Ranch. It's a place to watch a hummingbird with your coffee or to observe a deer grazing improbably on a sloping grass-covered green roof.
It is a place to drink too much wine while being transfixed by harbor seals with your college roommate and then being unable to find your way home in the foggy dark. The possibility for both discovery and community undergirds Sea Ranch, an early example of ecological planning that, for better and worse, spawned suburban wannabes across the country. The founding ideal, shaped by Mr. Halprin and his all-star cast, was that 10 stupendous miles of California coast were something to be shared rather than subdivided.
The early architecture was communal and modest, with houses clustered perpendicular to the ocean so that everyone would have a view, leaving the meadows open and held in common. Houses were sited to settle into the landscape, like quail nesting. "This wasn't a place to show off your architecture," said Mr. Whitaker, now a 79-year-old renegade. "Buildings were meant to be like geodes, ordinary rocks on the outside with the inside going gangbusters."
Too much of that philosophy has bitten the proverbial dust, a long, bloody tale of politics, real estate, public access to the coast and the sad disconnect between taste and money. Today there are essentially two Sea Ranches: The southern portion, planned by Mr. Halprin et al.; and the later more suburbanized north, with cul-de-sacs and palazzos along the bluffs.
But plenty of the genuine item survives, including the Moonraker Athletic Center, one of three recreation centers with pool, tennis court and family sauna (this is California after all). Along with miles of hiking, biking and horse trails and a Scottish-style golf course, the centers are major perks for renters, who must dangle passes from their rearview mirrors. Moonraker is a stark, weathered cathedral of chlorine, all but buried in an earthen berm.
AT the Obie Bowman Walk-in Cabin I rented, the first challenge was finding the door. Spatial organization has never been my forte. Anxiety mounting, I finally spied a padlock attached to a sliding barn wall. Eventually, I realized it was the door. Architects! I cursed.
The conceit of the Walk-in Cabins, a remote gathering of 15 troll-like dwellings in a kingdom of redwoods in the hills above Highway 1, is that no cars are allowed. They are left about a quarter-mile down a dirt road, which sounds romantic until you realize that your garbage has to walk out the same way.
Make no mistake. Sea Ranch is not pussyfooter terrain. I was reminded of this fact when, traveling solo this time and relieved at having found the front door, I perused the welcoming material: a form to fill out should I spot a mountain lion, with blank spaces for size, color, tail and attitude.
Mr. Bowman, who still works in Healdsburg, was a shopping center designer in Los Angeles when he took a trip up the coast and discovered Sea Ranch. After the Walk-ins were completed in 1972, he remarked that the spartan cabins, recipients of umpteen design awards, were about the size of the restrooms in his shopping centers.
In contrast to the Moore condo, with its drama-queen ocean views, the Walk-ins are about quietude, the light feathering through the redwoods. With its compact loft bed, wood stove and twee kitchen, it all felt a bit like inhabiting a lifestyle magazine edited by the redwood-dwelling activist Julia Butterfly Hill.
One of the pleasures of a rental, of course, is imagining the real owners (the tip-off here may have been the stuffed gnome in a basket). Exhausted, I hiked down to the ocean, where the harbor seals were sunning on the rocks like old couples by the pool in Miami Beach. They seemed to have the right idea. So I hiked back up to the cabin and promptly collapsed on the deck into savasana, the yoga corpse pose. I let the breeze, sun and scent of pines lull me before soaking in the hot tub (life is tough at Sea Ranch).
The only sign of fellow humans in the dense thicket were scattered lights at dusk the home fires burning in our little warren of Prius-driving hobbits.
EVERY visit to Sea Ranch has a mood. I have watched migrating gray whales breach the surface from Walk-On Beach, experienced a near-tsunami with pelting rain followed by brilliant sun at Christmas. During abalone season, when divers routinely lose their lives (three so far at Sea Ranch this year), bulbous wet-suited figures with inner tubes around their waists scramble down rocks to plunge into the churning kelp-ridden abyss.
Like the weather, houses set a tone. And it was an exhilarating one in Barn Dance, one of 17 Binker Barns designed by William Turnbull, who died in 1997 and designed the houses to be replicated around Sea Ranch. As soon as my husband, Roger, and I opened the wooden door artfully carved in quilt-like patterns we knew we'd hit pay dirt.
The house is poetry in wood, a beautifully fashioned breakfront in architecture. Built like a barn, with plank walls and crisscrossing beams with exposed bolts, it felt like a totally chic abstraction of Nebraska, with an airy central space soaring to the roof and a staircase winding up to an interior bridge leading to the bedrooms. The dining area and kitchen had me convinced I could cook like Thomas Keller. They were enfolded in lustrous Douglas fir, with light streaming ethereally through clerestory windows.
Roger promptly deposited himself on a lounge chair beside the fireplace, becoming positively ecstatic when he discovered the owner's voluminous CD collection, including the obscure "Veedon Fleece"*/ by Van Morrison, with whom he is obsessed. Shortly thereafter he proclaimed, "I want to live in a Turnbull house!"
Warmed by radiant-heat floors, I cracked open the guest register, in which the owners had charmingly chronicled their own escapades, including a week of nonstop rain in which they hunted for mushrooms and watched bygone episodes of "The West Wing."
Gualala, a village nearby, offers escape valves for the stir-crazy: a couple of excellent restaurants; a fine-foods store, a bookstore, a first-rate crafts gallery and even an au courant design store, Placewares (Mendocino and the Anderson Valley wineries are a curvy hour-and-a-half drive away).
The most popular hangout at Sea Ranch is the Twofish Baking Company, which has morphed into an ad hoc community center for the growing number of full-timers, many of them aerobic grandparents.
But there remains a psychic divide between people who are drawn to Sea Ranch for its history and those who regard it as a generic seaside resort. The impending transformation of the lodge is causing some fear and loathing. "A highly processed destination resort, with all sorts of pleasure amenities, will bring people with different expectations and a less deep commitment to the place," said Kenneth Wachter, a demography professor at Berkeley who was walking his poodle not far from the house he and his wife bought on their honeymoon 26 years ago.
Arguably, Sea Ranch's most hallowed ground are the Hedgerow Houses, a group of genteel rustic shacks that Joseph Esherick tucked inconspicuously into a row of wind-blown cypress trees not far from Black Point Beach.
Along with Condominium One, they define the Sea Ranch style. Mr. Esherick, a master craftsman of space who died in 1998, used to say that "the ideal kind of building is one you don't see."
For renters, the prime Hedgerow House is the one that Mr. Esherick designed for himself, a sophisticated cottage with ship-like woodwork that seems to all but disappear into the meadow grasses.
A mere 875 square feet, the house is made from inexpensive materials though its spatial arrangements are quite complex. Ironically perhaps, the current owner, Jim Friedman, builds $10 million to $20 million 20,000-square-foot houses for a living. "The Esherick house has taught me that really great architecture doesn't require gilding a lily," he said.
Sadly, the house was already spoken for, so the rental agency, Sea Ranch Escape, suggested an alternative Hedgerow House also designed by Mr. Esherick.
So it was a crushing blow to open the door and find pickled woodwork, wall-to-wall carpeting and Venetian blinds a Motel Esherick. Trying to cheer me up, Roger gamely kept chanting "location, location, location."
Nevertheless, I began to suspect that our abode wasn't even an Esherick because the conventional arrangement of spaces was so un-Esherick-like. Several days later, a Deep Throat with access to the historic files confirmed that the house was designed in the manner of Esherick by Van Norten Logan, a little-known architect turned land investor.
It was then that I felt the palpable presence of the ghost of Joe Esherick returning to my beloved Sea Ranch.
"Never trust a real estate agent," he whispered.
In the Zen sense, it's hard to go wrong with any house at Sea Ranch (just don't forget to bring your own sheets and towels). The nicest agency to deal with is Ocean View Properties (707-884-3538; www.oceanviewprop.com; $200 to $250 a night for William Turnbull's Barn Dance). Rams Head Realty rents a number of homes at Sea Ranch, including the Redwood Cottage Walk-in Cabin (800-785-3455; www.ramshead.com; $342 for two nights). Sea Ranch Escape (707-785-2426; www.searanchescape.com) has the largest collection of prime rentals by classic architects, including Unit 9 ($468 to $525 for two nights ) and the real Esherick house ($761 for two nights).
Sea Ranch 101: "The Sea Ranch" by Donlyn Lyndon and Jim Alinder (Princeton Architectural, 2004); "The Sea Ranch ... Diary of an Idea" by Lawrence Halprin (Spacemaker, 2002); "The Place of Houses" by Charles Moore, Gerald Allen and Donlyn Lyndon (University of California, 1974); "William Turnbull: Buildings in the Landscape" (William Stout, 2000); "Appropriate: The Houses of Joseph Esherick" by Marc Treib (William Stout, 2008). The Sea Ranch Association Web site (www.tsra.org) is also an excellent resource.

Obama: Encouraged By Syria Talks With Leaders
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — President Barack Obama says he's encouraged by the discussions he's had with world leaders about the situation in Syria.
He says there is a growing recognition that the world "cannot stand idly by" after a deadly chemical weapons attack he says was carried out by the regime in Syria.
Obama says leaders from Europe, Asia and the Middle East agree with him that international norms against the use of chemical weapons must be upheld.
Obama spoke at a news conference Friday in St. Petersburg, Russia, at the close of an international economic summit.

Triathlon England brings in Cycling UK, the national Cycling Charity to train ride leaders.
Triathlon England brings in Cycling UK, the national Cycling Charity to train ride leaders.
Cycling UK's one-day Club Leader (CL) course is aimed at competent club cyclists to give them the tools to lead a club run in perfect confidence. The first tranche of courses takes place this weekend.
Triathlon England's AGM at Loughborough University will host one of Cycling UK's CL courses, and see senior Triathlon England managers put through their paces and learn how to set up, assess and manage a club ride from Cycling UK Senior Cycle Training Officer Greg Woodford.
There will be other Club Leader courses this weekend for volunteer leaders taking place in Leicester, Hemel Hempstead and Kent.
Triathlon England's National Programme Manager, Stefan Pearce, said: "The training has been designed to free up our coaches from leading group rides in so much as our volunteer members can learn a set of skills to plan, lead, control and evaluate rides to make it more enjoyable and safe for the group."
As triathlon grows, we are finding more novice riders are daunted by open road cycling. Having leaders who have the appropriate training gives them some reassurance on these rides. "

'Dancing With The Stars' Premiere Recap: Somehow It Was The Best First Week EVER
I wasn't looking forward to this season of 'Dancing with the Stars,' but these stars are the best dancers ABC has EVER had! Seriously, they are incredible!
With so many other talent competition shows going on right now, the last thing I wanted to do was commit to another season of Dancing with the Stars, but I'm taking that back now after seeing the premiere March 19. Even though I hardly knew who the heck the "stars" were in season 14, there wasn't a bad seed in the bunch. Not one person scored less than 20, which is unheard of! If you don't know who they are already, get prepped to hear a bunch about opera singer Katherine Jenkins, Disney Channel star Roshon Fegan, former child star Jaleel White and football pro Donald Driver.
Maria Menounos & Derek Hough: Maria and Derek started the show off really strongly with a pretty darn good cha-cha-cha for week one. It doesn't hurt that Maria has a flawless feature, in addition to her gorgeous face…plus, the strongest dance pro on the show. As long as America likes her, I think she's going to go far. 7, 7, 7 = 21
Jack Wagner & Anna Trebunskaya: Jack's foxtrot to Nancy Sinatra's "Sugar Town" was cute, but not really my style. I also thought his arms were really stiff. Len Goodman agreed with me about the technique, but the other two judges couldn't stop smiling. "You just took me too a happy place," Carrie Ann Inaba raved. 8, 7, 8 = 23
Donald Driver & Peta Murgatroyd: I LOVED the energy of Donald and Peta's cha-cha-cha. Even though I had no idea who Donald was until tonight (he's the Green Bay Packers' wide receiver), I'm rooting for him to do well. These athletes sure know how to move! Also, I'd forgotten Peta, who was on DWTS last season, but got eliminated in the first round with Ron Artest. I can't wait to see how they do this season, even if the judges didn't appreciate this performance like I did. "There was flair going on. You got too excited a few times," Len critiqued. How Donald and Peta didn't get higher than Jack is beyond me! 7, 7, 7 = 21
Gavin DeGraw & Karina Smirnoff: Gavin has this boyish charm to him when he dances, I couldn't help but smile. Plus, Karina is always such a pro out there — she really knows what she's doing. Even though the dance was a little messy, I still enjoyed their foxtrot to Lady Antebellum's "I Run to You." "Great charm and gentle quality to your dance. You have to learn to link the moves," Bruno Tonioli said. 7, 6, 7 = 20
Roshon Fegan & Chelsie Hightower: First of all, this is probably my favorite pair of the competition, seeing as I know them better than anyone else on the show — and boy, did they do me proud! Roshon blew everyone out of the water with his sick moon walking, spins and body rolls. Of course, Mr. Technical (Len) wasn't a fan of the dance as a cha-cha-cha, but no one could deny this dance had the crowd excited. I think he should have gotten a higher score than he did. 8, 7, 8 = 23
Sherri Shepherd & Val Chmerkovskiy: Sherri lit up the stage with her foxtrot and I thought it was super enjoyable. I also loved the song choice — "Sherry" by The Four Seasons. It was cute. However, it didn't deserve as high of scores as it got. 8, 7, 8 = 23
Melissa Gilbert & Maksum Chmerkovskiy: I don't know if it was the choreography, the music choice or the dancers, but this cha-cha-cha just didn't do it for me…at all. It felt stiff and awkward the whole time. The judges were sweet to Melissa, with Carrie Ann saying she saw "great potential," but I didn't get that memo. 7, 6, 7 = 20
William Levy & Cheryl Burke: I'd never heard of William Levy until this season, but give me more! The telenovela star is gorgeous and knows how to move on the dance floor. His cha-cha-cha to Chris Brown's "International Love" was really well done, which was reflected in his high scores. 8, 8, 8 = 24
Martina Navratilova & Tony Dovolani: Martina and Tony's foxtrot seemed like a typical first week dance — a little stiff and under prepared. Fortunately, the tennis pro has a great charm about her on stage. "It was close but not quite there for me," Len said. "It was too careful." I think the judges scored her too highly. 7, 6, 7 = 20
Katherine Jenkins & Mark Ballas: HOLY COW! You cannot tell me this chick hasn't ever danced before. She looked just as graceful as a dance pro doing the foxtrot with Mark. Seriously, her lines were PERFECT, her smile was gorgeous and she couldn't have had a better performance. "Best first dance on the show ever," Carrie Ann raved. If she keeps it up, Katherine is going to be hard to beat! 9, 8, 9 = 26
Gladys Knight & Tristan MacManus: Gladys was everything you'd hope she'd be on the dance floor and more: sassy, smiley and in rhythm. I loved her performance and can't wait to see her get better with each week. "It's not forced, it oozed rhythm and you did a wonderful job," Len said. 8, 7, 8 = 23
Jaleel White & Kym Johnson: Who knew Steve Urkel could dance?! Turns out the nerd has some pretty smooth moves. I couldn't believe how sharp his foxtrot was to Frank Sinatra's "The Way You Look Tonight." Well played, sir! "This was the best first show of any season," Len admitted. Surprisingly, I'd have to agree. 9, 8, 9 = 26
Bottom Line: Jack and Melissa had my least favorite performances of the night. Who's did YOU like best? And most importantly, who do you think is getting the boot first? Sound off below!

Currently, superfoods are becoming more and more popular in people's lives. Superfoods refer to "foods that are good for health and may even help certain diseases" or "very nutritious foods that are considered to be good for your health." What will happen to food in the future? And what kind of food will be popular in future? Here are some predictions about the future trend of superfoods.
Dietary fiber
The future of protein products will reach a peak, but because of consumer's attention on dietary fiber, the focus will be re-concentrated in beans and cereals-based plants. adding grain and other elements in the snack foods to make it have more dietary fiber has become a magic weapon for many food businesses to attract consumers. Finding a more natural source of fiber has also become a current direction of development, such as fruits, vegetables and so on. It is noteworthy that dietary fiber, such as inulin and chicory root, with weight loss and satiety, is now very popular.
Probiotics will continue to expand and become the mainstream. We can obviously see the great potential of the probiotic industry from the current yogurt industry growth. consumers now have a more profound understanding and greater interest in Prebiotics products. Now the food industry has started to value the prebiotics and have highlighted the packaging of the products, and the number of products containing prebiotics has also increased, although prebiotics are not as popular now as probiotics.
The so-called super food, including turmeric, organic vegetable powder, chlorella, spirulina, wheat grass powder. Packaging food and beverages that adding such elements are currently on the rise. There are also some traditional ingredients, such as ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, ashwagandha, and other elements also became popular, and was added to ordinary snacks. Recently, ordinary vegetarian products such as mushrooms have also transformed themselves into high-end super foods.
In the field of superfoods, some organic vegetable powders have received people's favor. Such as Yesherb organic beetroot powder, broccoli powder, spinach powder, kale powder and so on. Kale has always been only regarded as a salad side dish, but in recent years has been touted as the most popular European and American super-foods, the calcium content in kale is three times than milk. The lutein and carotene content are even higher than spinach, has become the hottest anti-cancer star. Coupled with the rich cellulose contained, can eliminate the body waste, regarded as slimming san products.
In addition to organic vegetable powders, some organic fruit powders are also widely used in superfoods on the America market because they are rich in vitamins and nutrients. The organic products annual growth rate have nearly 20% in the past several years in the USA market. Including Yesherb cranberry powder, blueberry powder, raspberry powder, pomegranate powder, and goji powder. It has been reported that the antioxidant component of red pomegranate is even higher than wine and green tea, which can effectively prevent heart disease. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has published an article pointing out that continuous consumption of pomegranate juice for two weeks a day can effectively reduce the body's oxidized cholesterol. The British "Daily Mail" has also reported that drinking a glass of pomegranate juice every day can help to get rid of belly fat and increase libido. Algae such as spirulina and chlorella have been made into powders or other supplements that are popular with many gourmets and vegetarians due to their high levels of vitamins, nutrients and minerals.
North America is the world's largest health products market, the product situation has the role of weathervane. with the booming of the cranberry, blueberry, raspberry, pomegranate, and goji powder in America, the Europe market, which play the role of the second largest area of global health products, will also welcome these products flourishing in the near future.

Washington Vital Records
This entry was originally written by Chripopher Rockwell for A scocial Studies Project.
The filing of marriages with county officials has been required by law since the creation of Washington Territory in 1853. Marriage records such as applications, certificates, and returns usually begin with the date of county formation or shortly thereafter. Prior to 1968, marriages were recorded by the county auditor.
Post-1907 vital records are at the Washington State Department of Health, 112 SE Quince St., P.O. Box 47890, Olympia, WA 98504-7890. The Family History Library (FHL), in Salt Lake City, has microfilmed birth indexes (1907'54), birth records (1907'48), delayed birth certificates (1850'1960), index to delayed births (1900'80), death certificate indexes (1907'79), and death certificates (1907'60). The online subscription database at www.ancestry.com also has the Washington death index (1940'96) and birth indexes (1907'19).
Divorces were granted beginning in 1854 by the district courts of the territory, and these records were kept from 1854 to 1889 by the clerk of the district court. Washington State Department of Health has divorce records from January 1, 1968. For records before these dates, contact the county clerk where the event occurred.
Many records are available for ordering and/or viewing online at the Washington State Digital Archives.
FamilySearch.org has a variety of collections available for free online:

Pro-Tip: Try the Off-Menu Ice Cream Flights at Ruby Jewel, Portland OR
On my last day in Portland, I was psyched to celebrate a sunny afternoon with an ice cream cookie sandwich at Ruby Jewel, until I discovered something at least three times as awesome: the ice cream flights. They're not listed on the official menu, but thanks to some online sleuthing, I spotted the special on the shop's website. Here's how it works: for $7, you get 6 mini scoops of ice cream (you choose the flavors), served up in miniature glass cups and presented on a sturdy wooden board. Each scoop is roughly the size of a kids' scoop, so you're essentially getting $15 worth of ice cream for a bit less than half price. You can score a flight any time at the Mississippi Ave location, and by request at the West End scoop shop.
Both shops feature seven standard flavors of ice cream, along with five to seven rotating flavors that change with the season. I went with a mix of standard and special scoops for my flight. Clockwise, from the top, I got chevre with strawberry rhubarb jam, peanut butter with chocolate-covered pretzel, Oregon strawberry, double chocolate, caramel with salted dark chocolate, and honey lavender.
There wasn't a slouch in the bunch, but I'd recommend the Chevre and Strawberry Rhubarb Jam over the standard strawberry. The ribbon of jam had a more intense strawberry flavor, and the tangy goat cheese provided a delicious contrast. The Caramel with salted dark chocolate was also a stand-out, with its fudgy globs of chocolate buried throughout. It's one of the standard flavors, so be sure to reserve a spot for it. The Fresh Mint Flake was also a winner—it's powerfully minty, and would be a great option to save for the end, as a sort of palate refresher.
Tackling the ice cream flight alone would probably be difficult, but with a partner, it's a fun (if formidable) challenge. And, at an investment of just $3.50 per person, it's not so much about finishing every last bite as it is about getting to taste a broad variety of flavors, from can't-miss standards like mega-rich double chocolate, to taking a chance on something fun and seasonal. Speaking of which, I couldn't pull the trigger on Ruby Jewel's black orange licorice, a take on Tiger Tail, but recently departed SE editor Erin Zimmer, and Drinks editor Maggie Hoffman swear by it.

Pantheism is the belief that God is the universe, the sum total of everything that exists.
"God is everything" is as valid a definition as any, and it has the advantage that this god demonstrably exists. However, it raises the question of why there should be a separate word for "God". Why not simply say "the universe"?
Notable Pantheists[edit]
Some notable pantheists include Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Georg Hegel, Plotinus and Alan Watts.
Pantheists such as these often use the term 'God' as a metaphor for nature, the universe, or for as-of-yet unexplained aspects of physics. Some quotes have been misinterpreted and taken out of context by theists, possibly deliberately, to support an argument from authority.
For example, in support of their beliefs, many Christians quote Einstein when he said, "Subtle is the Lord, but malicious He is not" and "God does not play dice with the universe." There are three problems with this argument:
- In both cases Einstein meant 'Lord' or 'God' as a metaphor for some aspect of nature, not in the sense of a supernatural being.
- In using this argument, theists fail to make the connection between Einstein's beliefs and the god they are trying to represent. Einstein was quite clear that he did not believe in a personal god who interferes with or cares about humanity. Saying that Einstein believed in god, when the theist believes in a god with vastly different qualities and intentions, lends no more support to their point than saying Einstein believed in Zeus.
- Even if Einstein did believe in a personal God, the same one as the theist quoting him believes in, this would amount only to an argument from authority. What Einstein wrote about any subject, even physics, is not gospel. His views on physics are held by modern scientists only insofar as they are supported by evidence. His beliefs about any god are irrelevant.
Pantheistic apologetics[edit]
- If "god" is defined as "everything", then the concept of god is essentially meaningless in any other context
- There is no particular reason to use the term "god", as opposed to "nature", or any other term. See: ignostic.
- The pantheist argument is not an argument for any faith which makes any statement regarding the qualities of "god", since in pantheism "god" has no properties other than existence.

I am curious to collect examples of equivalent axiomatizations of mathematical structures. The two examples that I have in mind are
Topological Spaces. These can be defined in terms of open sets, closed sets, neighbourhoods, the Kuratowski closure axioms, etc.
Matroids. These can be defined via independent sets, bases, circuits, rank functions, etc.
Are there are other good examples?
Secondly, what are some advantages of multiple axiomatizations?
Obviously, one advantage is that one can work with the most convenient definition depending on the task at hand. Another is that they allow different generalizations of the object in question. For example, infinite matroids can be axiomatized by adapting the independent set axioms, but it is unknown how to axiomatize them via the circuit axioms. An acceptable answer to the second question would be an example of a proof in one axiom system that doesn't translate easily (not sure how to make this precise) into another axiom system.

Product Description
The Hurtta Outdoors Padded collar with it's soft neoprene is extremely comfortable. It will not wear the coat, whether long or short haired. The padding ensures that these collars won't rub or irritate the skin.
Comfortable on the dog's neck, a good collar is safe and easy to use. The safety and adjustability of padded collars make them an excellent choice for puppies, for example.
By distributing the pressure caused by pulling across a larger area, the Neoprene-padded Hurtta collar softens the stress placed on the dog's neck and throat area. The ergonomic collar does not chafe the dog's neck. Thanks to the safety lock mechanism developed for the adjustable collar, the stress caused by pulling is not placed on the clip buckle, improving the pulling strength of the collar. The new collar structure has allowed the extension of the padded section without compromising adjustability.
- Machine washable
- Reflective 3m Scotchlite for safety
- Available in red, black, birch, juniper, raspberry or cherry.
- Sizes; 20- 30cm, 25 - 35cm, 30 - 40cm, 35 - 45cm, 40 - 50sm, 45 - 55cm, 50 - 60cm, 55 - 65cm

Posted under bird behavior & science
There's a great article in the NY Times about tool-making by crows. It includes a link to a really interesting short video. Pretty remarkable what these birds can do with a small brain. And it's not instinctive, either — I mean, we all know tiny-brained birds can make amazing nests by just following some rules. But these crows actually figure stuff out. I've blogged about this before, if you want to search the archives.

Intermediate gear rebuild service
Increase machine speed and uptime
Loose housing fits and vibration can cause the bearing to rotate in the housing. This often leads to wear, increased clearance between the bearing and the housing and, ultimately, gear tooth wear and breakage. The resulting downtime and costs for maintenance and parts can be significant.
A cost effective solutionRedesigning and rebuilding the gear arrangement is a cost-effective solution to achieve substantial benefits such as:
- Increased speed and reduced downtime
- Simplified maintenance
- Reduced maintenance costs and longer service intervals

Tragic files: Three lawsuits target Clifton
Eight months after the historic and sumptuous Clifton Inn burned, attorneys have filed multimillion-dollar lawsuits for the families of two New York women killed in the November 14 fire.
Trish Langlade and Billie Kelly, recruiters for the international law firm of Willkie Farr and Gallagher, died in the pre-dawn blaze at one of Charlottesville's finest lodging places.
Langlade's husband, Gerald, filed a $10 million lawsuit June 28 against Clifton owners Mitchell and Emily Willey in U.S. District Court. That same day, Brian Kelly filed a suit seeking $1 million in compensatory damages for the death of his late wife, Billie Kelly. And Margaret Mansouri, a UVA law grad employed by Willkie Farr, who was hospitalized from the fire, sued for $2 million.
The plaintiffs are also seeking treble damages for violations of the Virginia Consumer Protection Act, as well as punitive damages.
The complaints list six causes of action, and Matt Murray, attorney for Gerald Langlade, finds it hard to pick the most egregious.
"They did have fire inspectors tell them what was deficient– and they did nothing to correct them," he says.
The battery-operated smoke detectors did not have back-ups, nor were they interconnected so that "if one goes off in the west wing, the east wing would hear," says Murray.
He mentions an elaborate telephone relay system that was supposed to call the fire department, but notes, "It wasn't hooked up."
Langlade and Kelly were staying in the Thomas Mann Randolph Room above the drawing room, where the fire began.
"There's some evidence they could have survived if they could have gotten the windows open, but they were painted shut," says Murray. "To have no escape from those rooms..." he says, his voice trailing off.
And then, he continues, "To have an inn where the staff departs at midnight and leaves burning candles. It's hard to tell which was the worst."
Jim Morris at the Richmond firm representing the Willeys declined to comment. "We don't discuss pending lawsuits," he says.
The night before the fire, seven Willkie Farr attorneys joined the two recruiters to wine and dine second-year UVA law students the firm was wooing to work in its summer program.
When high winds knocked out power around 8pm, the inn's staff didn't skip a beat in serving dinner. They lit more candles and fires, and according to one of the attendees who spoke to the Hook a few days after the blaze, the party didn't break up until around 11:30pm.
A fire broke out in the drawing room around 5am. Langlade and Kelly awoke to extreme heat and toxic black smoke, say the filings. Trapped in the Thomas Mann Randolph Room, they died from carbon monoxide poisoning and smoke inhalation while attempting to escape.
Mansouri's room was on the first floor beside the drawing room, and the only window in her room was blocked by the headboard of her bed, according to her suit. She lost consciousness in the bathroom while trying to escape.
Closed since the fire, the Clifton Inn announced in March that it would rebuild. A person answering the phone there earlier this week said it would reopen "sometime in the fall."
Clifton's ritzy reputation is being used against it in the lawsuits, which note the inn's oral and written claims of "elegant accommodations... and personalized attention."
And despite its being closed since November, AAA honored the Clifton Inn with its highest four-diamond award July 12.
The Clifton Inn's website says the historic landmark will be rebuilt.
The fatal fire started in the drawing room; UVA law school grad Margaret Mansouri was rescued from the adjacent suite.
