Chapter 1: Eavesdropping on Mother Nature
"I am large, I contain multitudes." -- Walt Whitman
"Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter to the other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth to the other. Now there is no more loneliness for you. But there is one life before you. Go now to your dwelling place, to eat to your days together. And may your days be very long upon this earth."
The Apache Indians of the American Southwest probably recited this wedding poem for centuries before I heard it in La Jolla, California, in 2006. It was an early June evening, the sky still pink and blue, the sea smells wafting through the windows as I sat in a folding chair on the second story of a fancy Italian restaurant. An older gentleman was conducting a short wedding ceremony, one mixed with rituals from the Christian, Jewish and Apache traditions. And before me glowed the two celebrants, Patrick and Suzanne -- one of the first couples to marry after meeting on the Internet dating site I had helped to design, Chemistry.com.
Patrick had been a journalist in New Orleans until he lost his job, his home and all of his belongings to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. West he went, taking up residence with relatives in Los Angeles in February 2006. Days after settling in, he joined Chemistry.com and received his first recommended match: Suzanne, a lawyer living in La Jolla. That first night they talked for three hours on the phone. They met the following weekend and fell passionately in love.
So on a balmy evening during an April vacation together in Paris, Patrick took her to the top of the Eiffel Tower and proposed. The dazzled young woman grinned her "yes." So here I sat at a fancy Italian restaurant in La Jolla, surrounded by some fifty of their friends and relatives on this festive wedding eve.
I like being around people who are in love. They have a contagious energy. This force was palpable in the groom, the first to arrive for the nuptials. He burst into the room, filling it with his vivacious charm. Although we had never met, he greeted me warmly. We instantly struck up a conversation about the evolution of the English language, his experience as a journalist in some dangerous parts of Asia and some of my past work on the brain chemistry of romantic love.
Others soon arrived, and we took our places on the folding chairs facing a small bar strewn with lilies. Last came the bride. I was stunned when saw her -- a tiny, perfectly formed, porcelain-like doll, with huge blue eyes and long auburn hair in soft ringlets wreathed in forget-me-nots. Like the mythological Helen, Suzanne had a face that could launch a thousand ships. And her vigor matched his. She was enraptured by her prince, gazing at him and grinning with uncontainable effervescence as she said "I do."
Someone played a flute. The Apache poem was read. And as the bride and groom walked down the makeshift aisle between our seats, we blew bubbles at them from the little bottles left on our chairs. Then came the feast: platters of Cavatelli Marinara, Antipasto Rustico, mussels, sausages, Chicken Fra Diavolo -- a host of Italian favorites appeared at every table amid the balloons, confetti and champagne as the disc jockey blasted out old tunes and we wildly danced. Patrick and Suzanne swirled among us, radiating joy.
"Love hopes all things," the Bible says. I hoped for Patrick and Suzanne. But I also had a reason to be optimistic about their marriage. I knew some things about their personalities because both had taken my personality test, a series of questions I had devised to establish some basic things about a person's biological temperament. Both had told me their test results. And from these data, I was confident that Patrick's particular chemical profile would complement Suzanne's, creating a biological and psychological cocktail that would keep them captivated with each other for years.
Temperament and Love
We have many inborn tendencies. Indeed, scientists now believe some 50 percent of the variations in human personality are associated with genetic factors. We inherit much of the fabric of our mind.
But what is personality?
Psychologists define it as that distinct cluster of thoughts and feelings that color all of a person's actions.
Your personality is more than just your biology, of course. Personality is composed of two fundamentally different types of traits: those of character and those of temperament.
Your character traits stem from your experiences. Your childhood games; your parents' interests and values; how people in your community express love and hate; what relatives and friends regard as polite, dangerous or exciting; how they worship; what they sing; when they laugh; what they do to make a living and relax -- these and innumerable other cultural forces combine to build your unique set of character traits.
The balance of your personality is your temperament, all of the biologically based tendencies you have inherited, traits that emerge in early childhood to produce your consistent patterns of feeling, thinking and behaving. As the Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset put it, "I am, plus my circumstances." Temperament is the "I am," the foundation of who you are. Curiosity; creativity; novelty seeking; compassion; cautiousness; competitiveness: to some degree, you inherit these and many other aspects of your disposition.
It is this part of the human spirit I had examined in Patrick and Suzanne -- their biological temperament.
Born "Me"
No one knows precisely how many traits of temperament we human beings inherit. But studies of identical twins suggest we inherit many. Take the "giggle twins," as they were called by staff members of the Minnesota Twin Study in the 1970s because these women would erupt with peals of laughter at the slightest jest or odd turn of phrase.
Daphne and Barbara were born to an unmarried Finnish student living in England in 1939. Barbara was adopted by an English groundskeeper who worked in a public park, while Daphne grew up in the home of a wealthy metallurgist. Yet when they first came together again at age thirty- nine as part of the Minnesota Twin Study, which focused on identical twins reared apart, both loved good pranks and both had giggled all their lives.
Both regularly sat on their hands to keep from nervously gesticulating. Both had dyed their hair auburn. Both were effusively energetic. Both hated math and sports. Both avoided commercial television. Both preferred the color blue. Both were unwilling to give any political opinions. And both had met their husbands at age sixteen at a town hall dance and married in the autumn. Their IQ scores were nearly identical, too, despite Daphne's expensive education and Barbara's far more modest schooling.
Psychologist Thomas Bouchard, director of the Minnesota Twin Study, unearthed so many stories like this one that in the 1980s he proposed that dozens of personality traits have a degree of heritability. Among those with the strongest genetic links, he reported, were traditionalism, the willingness to capitulate to authority, aggressiveness, the drive to lead and the appetite for attention. As he wrote in 1984, "Both the twin studies and the adoption studies converge on the surprising finding that common family environmental influences play only a minor role in the determination of personality."
In recent decades human behavior geneticists have added substantially to this list of traits linked with our DNA. More important to this book, scientists now know that groups of interacting genes influence behavior, even act together to create behavior syndromes. For example, if you have a biological appetite to seek novelty, you are also likely to be energetic, spontaneous, risk taking, curious and creative. If you are predisposed to be traditional instead, you are also likely to be loyal, cautious, respectful of authority and eager to make plans and follow schedules. We express constellations of related biological traits,1 creating what are commonly called personality types.2
In fact, after doing extensive research on the biological underpinnings of personality types, I have come to believe that each of us expresses a unique mix of four broad basic personality types. Moreover, our primary personality type steers us toward specific romantic partners. Our biological nature whispers constantly within us to influence who we love.
These thoughts and more were swimming through my mind as I blew those bubbles at Patrick and Suzanne on that enchanting wedding evening. I thought both had found their soul mate.
Who are you? Why are we naturally attracted to particular mates? My investigation of these mysteries started over the Christmas holiday in 2004.
"Why do you fall in love with one person rather than another?" This is what the executive team at Match.com wanted to know when I met with them two days after Christmas 2004 in New York City. Match.com is the world's largest Internet dating site. And I had been invited to spend the day with them, thinking. Midmorning, they asked me this fundamental question.
"No one really knows," I responded.
Psychologists have determined that men and women tend to fall in love with individuals from the same ethnic and socioeconomic background; with those of a similar level of intelligence, education and physical attractiveness; with individuals holding similar religious, political and social values; and with those who have a similar sense of humor.
We also fall in love when the timing is right; and often with someone who lives or works nearby. Your childhood plays a huge role in your romantic choices, although no reliable patterns have ever been established. We tend to fall in love with someone who provides us with the things we need. And people often fall in love with those who are in love with them.
But, as I told the Match.com executives, how two individual personalities match up remains unknown. People do not necessarily court, live with or marry someone with similar or different personality traits. In fact, some 470 studies have examined the mesh of two personalities in a marriage. And psychologist Marcel Zentner summed up these data, saying, "Preference for similarity in personality characteristics varies substantially across traits and individuals." As he put it, "How two personalities may be best combined in a relationship remains at present an unresolved issue."
Yet your choice of mate will color every aspect of your life: your morning conversations in bed and at the breakfast table; your friendships, family reunions and weekend frolics; where you live; how you raise your children; most likely even your career. And certainly this choice will affect your tomorrows. Those babies you are likely to produce and send forth to multiply are your genetic future. Only a few times in your life will you mix your seed with that of another and pitch your DNA toward infinity.
So whom you choose matters.
In fact, I found it hard to believe that evolution would leave this decision entirely to our human whims. I suspected that psychologists had simply not looked for the underlying biological mechanisms that direct our romantic choices.
So when the folks at Match.com asked me to consider helping them develop a sister site for their Internet dating service, one designed for men and women interested in a long- term partnership, I said I would think about it during the festive midwinter lull.
The holiday season twinkled on. But on New Year's Day I realized I had to come to grips with this opportunity -- a chance to apply the newest data in neuroscience to the essential question of who you love, perhaps even help people find "the one." So I sat down at my empty desk and pulled out a blank sheet of paper.
What did I know about personality?
The Biology of Personality
Dopamine. I began with this brain chemical because I had studied the activities of this powerful and ubiquitous neurotransmitter for several years.
On impulse, I listed some of the personality traits I knew were associated with specific genes in the dopamine system: the propensity to seek novelty; the willingness to take risks; spontaneity; heightened energy; curiosity; creativity; optimism; enthusiasm; mental flexibility. I decided to call those men and women who expressed the traits associated with this biology Explorers. Patrick, I would come to realize, had a good deal of the Explorer in him.
I drew another blank sheet of paper from my desk drawer. What else did I know about personality?
Well, individuals who have inherited particular genes in the serotonin system tend to be calm, social, cautious but not fearful, persistent, loyal, fond of rules and facts and orderly. They are conventional, the guardians of tradition. And because these men and women are also skilled at building social networks and managing people in family, business and social situations, I dubbed those who had inherited this constellation of genetic traits Builders.
I had also studied testosterone. Although testosterone is often associated with males, I knew that both men and women are capable of expressing particularly strong activity in this neural system. Moreover, those who inherit this chemistry tend to be direct, decisive, focused, analytical, logical, tough- minded, exacting, emotionally contained and good at strategic thinking. They get to the point. Many are bold and competitive. They excel at figuring out machines, mathematical formulas or other rule- based systems. Many are good at understanding the structure of music, too. I named these people Directors.
Last in my store of biological knowledge were some of the traits linked with estrogen. Women and men with a great deal of estrogen activity tend to see the big picture: they connect disparate facts to think contextually and holistically, expressing what I call web thinking. They are imaginative. They display superior verbal skills and excel at reading postures, gestures, facial expressions and tones of voice, known as executive social skills. They are also intuitive, sympathetic, nurturing, mentally flexible, agreeable, idealistic, altruistic and emotionally expressive. I christened the people of this broad biological type Negotiators.
Other chemical systems play a role in personality, of course. We may have as many as a hundred different kinds of neurotransmitters (smaller molecules) and some fifty types of peptides in the brain. But most keep the heart beating or orchestrate other basic functions. It is increasingly apparent that these four chemicals -- dopamine, serotonin, testosterone and estrogen -- play lead roles in producing aspects of personality.
Two others should be mentioned, though. Norepinephrine, a chemical closely related to dopamine, undoubtedly contributes to some of the Explorer's traits, especially their energy and impulsivity. And oxytocin -- a chemical synthesized, stored and triggered (in large part) by estrogen -- most likely plays a role in the Negotiator's compassion, nurturing, trust and intuition. In fact, families of chemicals produce the Explorer, Builder, Director and Negotiator. The specific activities of any one chemical are not as significant as the ratios and interactions among all of them and several other neural systems.
Nevertheless, only dopamine, serotonin, testosterone and estrogen have been directly associated with a wide range of personality traits. So variations in these four chemicals most likely form the foundation of these four basic styles of thinking and behaving. But does your personality type guide who you love?
I decided to find out.

A Note to My Readers: In search of my Frear family 'comings and goings' in central New York I am back to reading old newspapers and found an intriguing article in a June 1913 edition of the Auburn, New York Democrat Argus. The story revolves around a promotional photograph purchased by Auburn and Union Springs jeweler, WILLIAM STANSELL LAWRENCE FREAR (1849-1930), the first cousin of my great grandfather, HENRY A. MARTIN (1857-1932) and the rivalry of two old 'athletes', Edward Payson Weston and John Ennis.
The present "hike" of Edward Payson Weston, the veteran pedestrian, who is now plodding his way Westward along the Southern Tier on his way from new York to Minneapolis, Minn., where he is to lay the cornerstone of the new Minneapolis Athletic Club building, recalled to W. S. L. Frear, the Market Street jeweler, the fact that he had in his possession a photograph of the aged hiker when he was a youngster in the game half a century ago. The Citizen herewith presents the picture, and as many Auburnians are familiar with the striking physique of the Weston of today they will be astonished to note the similarity of carriage despite the effects of 50 years on the famous walker. As he walked through Port Byron two years ago on his "Frisco-to New York hike he bore himself in the identical erect manner and his short cane was carried in the same stiff manner, convenient for an occasional automatic smite on his right flank.
Bought Picture in 1867.
Mr. Frear bought the picture from Weston's agent who accompanied him on his first important "hike," from Albany to Chicago, in 1867, as Weston was passing through Newark (Wayne county New York). Then as on his walk across Cayuga County two years ago, Weston went through Port Byron and Weedsport, following the old New York Central lines and the Albany-Buffalo turnpike. At that time Weston walked alone, but his agent rode in a buggy and besides selling photographs of the walker, the drive carried articles to be used in an emergency. Today Weston is accompanied by an automobile. Then he was 22, today he is 76. The original picture has been put on display in the window of the owner in Market Street.
Corning gave a hearty welcome to Weston and John Ennis, 71, who has set out to beat the easy schedule set by Weston, when they passed through Corning together yesterday.
Have made 300 Miles.
"Corning marked the completion of the first fifth of the 1,500 mile journey which the two men have undertaken on foot. It is 292 miles from Corning to New York City by the lines of the Erie Railroad which the walkers are following along parallel highways. Before leaving New York City the pedestrians had walked seven miles, so that they had walked 299 miles when they reached Corning. Weston, despite his delay of the past two days, reached Corning a full day ahead of schedule he mapped out before leaving New York City and he was in an optimistic mood. Ennis, too, was highly elated. He had predicted that he would pass Weston before Buffalo was reached although Weston had 24 hours the start of him, and he had succeeded sooner than he had anticipated, thanks to Weston's poor limb. The four or five years difference in age is also in favor of Ennis.
Not a Race, Says Weston.
Ennis is bent upon forcing the public belief that there is a race on between the two men. This Weston denies and he refuses to be forced into a race with Ennis. Weston mapped out a schedule and published it long before Ennis was heard of in connection with the trip. Weston states that he is simply following the schedule and not attempting to extend himself.
"Although I have allowed 60 days for the trip to Minneapolis, I could cover it in 45 days if I wanted to extend myself," said Weston to a Corning reporter.
"Ennis has been my competitor only once – that was in England in 1879 when we were competing for a belt offered by Astley for a 100 mile walk," said Weston. "Ennis was in the race one day and then dropped out. I take Ennis's action in starting out on this walk after I had planned as just a joke. He is trying to get a reputation from reputation, and by doing what he calls beating me, he hopes to make money giving lectures on this trip.
"As an instance of how ridiculous he is making himself is the statement that he is reported to have made that in six days he walked 348 miles between North Platte, Neb., and Rock Springs, Wyoming – a route through the worst kind of roads in the United States. This is an impossibility. Ennis also claims that he walked from Toledo, O., to Bryan, O., in one day, a distance Ennis gives as 72 miles. The chief of police of Toledo told me that the distance is but 57 miles. If things turn out as I hope and expect there be some fund for the people here when Ennis and I come back.
"I am making this walk to lay the corner stone of the Minneapolis, Minn., Athletic Club's new house on August 2. I am not making this walk as a race – and I will not be forced into a race. I am making the walk to show that at 76 I can walk more than half the distance that I could at 50 years. I am now making about 158 miles a week, and I am going to average a little more than 26 miles a day. I am not extending myself to see how far I can walk in a day. My schedule was made out for 60 days but cutting out the Sundays the walking will be but 52 days.
Calls Walk a Picnic.
"I am being shown such courtesies by everybody along the route that the walk is proving no labor, but a picnic.
"I live very carefully whether on or off the road. We I am off the road I eat but two meals a day – breakfast and supper. On the road I eat but one meal a day, breakfast. For breakfast I generally eat three poached eggs and bread and butter and two or more cups of coffee with occasionally a glass of milk. Along the road about once an hour I am given liquid refreshments of egg and milk beaten together with sugar added. I also have vichy water and milk. Occasionally I take sarsaparilla and ginger ale. In the evening I take ice water and sometimes bread and milk.
"When I left New York's week ago last Monday noon I had a 36 inch waist line. It is now reduced to 34."
Weston carries with him a cane that was given him 30 years ago by Lord Algernon Lennox, a son of the Duke of Richmond, while he was in England. Weston also has a belt from the same donor.
Weston walks without a coat or hat. A towel wrung out in ice cold water is worn by him in place of a hat. An automobile proceeds him, and occasionally ice water is supplied him from the auto and he is given liquid refreshments. From time to time he stops during the heat of the day in the shade of a sheltering tree for brief refreshments and rest. At times members of the part traveling with him pace him.
Doctor Cobb Accompanies Weston.
When Weston left Corning at 4 o'clock this afternoon for Addison, he was accompanied by Dr. W. S. Cobb of that city. When Weston was on a walk 36 years ago from Portland, Me., to Portland, Ore., Doctor Cobb's father, George Cobb of West Stockbridge, Mass., walked with Weston from West Stockbridge toward Albany. George Cobb is still alive at the age of 85. Doctor Cobb took the walk yesterday to make the acquaintance of his father's old friend. (NOTE: The article's writer incorrectly stated that the walk was from Portland, Maine to Portland, Ore. The route was from Portland, Maine to Chicago, Illinois. Thanks to reader, Paul Marshall for catching the article's error.)
Ennis An Irishman.
Ennis was born at Richmond Harbor, County, Longford, Ireland, June 4, 1842. He celebrated his 71st birthday the day after he took the road with the intention of beating Weston to Minneapolis. Ennis's home is at Stamford, Conn. He served in the American Civil War in the Army of the Cumberland Engineering Corps. He has a record as an athlete. For 14 years he held the world's long distance skating record and he has also held records as a rifle shot.
"I left the College of the City of New York, Tuesday, June 3, at noon – just 24 hours to a minute after Weston left the same spot," said Ennis. "I predicted that I should pass Weston by the time Buffalo was reached – and I have more than made good my prediction," continued Ennis with a broad grin. "My purpose in making this walk is two fold. First, I desire to clean up an old dispute with Weston and shiw him that I am his superior as a walker, as I have previously demonstrated, and second to show people that all a man of 70 needs to do to be able to as active at that age as most men are at 40 is to to keep exercising – keep doing hard work.
An Ocean to Ocean Walk.
"Three years ago I beat Weston's coast to coast record by 25 days. Weston walked from New York, to San Francisco in 105 days. I made the journey in 80 days. I bathed in the waters of the Atlantic off Coney Island before leaving New York and I plunged into the waters of the Pacific in Golden Gate Harbor completing a truly ocean to ocean walk. I have been in contests with Weston for upwards of 35 years, and I have beaten him or his records on many occasions. It was my intention in seizing upon this opportunity to prove once and for all that I am Weston's superior. I am not walking to Minneapolis for a prize or anything when I get there – I am walking to beat Weston, and I am going to do it.
Calls Weston "Sly Fox".
"Weston is as sly as a fox. He has been doing his best to cover his trail and to keep me off the scent, but I have managed to follow his trail all right, and now I'm ahead of him and he will have to follow mine. I am not unfolding my plans as to where I'll be tonight, and I leave town quietly when I go. Weston wants the whole town to know about it when he leaves a town. You can say I passed through on the way toward Minneapolis. I suppose I shall follow about the same route that Weston has mapped out. I am going through Addison at any rate this afternoon.
"Yesterday I walked from Owego to Elmira -50 miles. I reached Elmira at 8 o'clock last night and stopped at the Hotel Langwell. I left Elmira at 6 o'clock this morning, and came through to Corning without stop. The first man to walk with me from the time I left Elmira was the Leader reporter. No one travels with me. My son goes ahead of my by train with my luggage. He carries a coat which I use on cold days, and also an umbrella which is the only protection I use on rainy days."
Ennis is a man of very rugged appearance. He walks in his shirt sleeves, with a long swinging stride. He has a sense of humor and a pleasant smile which wins him a welcome anywhere.
The Auburn New York Democrat Argus, June 1913.
Author's Note: WILLIAM STANSELL LAWRENCE FREAR was born in Arcadia, New York to JOHN LAWRENCE MYERS FREAR and JUDITH O. STANSELL. In addition to his jewelry and clock repair business in both Union Springs and Auburn, William and his brother, CHARLES HENRY FREAR owned and operated the ASTORIA HOTEL in Unions Springs. It is so easy to narrow down research focus and forget the history revolving around our ancestors…or to go 'too big' and think national or global…wars, economic news, politics. Every once in awhile I come across a local or regional story that reminds me about the character of the day and my family's humanity becomes so very real. Like the rivalry between two old 'pedestrians'.

I rarely take photos of myself unless I am being silly with family or friends so I'm kind of nervous about posting these. I don't really like people seeing my vulnerability unless I'm close to them but I've been going through a rough patch this past year and felt the need to photograph myself. I guess I wanted to document the way I felt so that way I could look back one day and be happy about what I've gone through. So yeah, this is me using my camera as therapy.

This central infrastructure is also the basis of our unique Global Master Data concept. Machinery components with all their attributes (manufacturer, documents, spare part lists etc.) are defined once on our database, given a consistent structure and then just mapped to the individual customer installation, enhanced with specific values, like serial number or building year.
This means that not only is the configuration of a new installation much faster, but also that optimal data quality is ensured. Most importantly: all players access the same high quality data.
Office staff access MESPAS's functionality and information online through a secure internet connection, no matter where and when. Locally installed MESPAS hardware is not required. Crews aboard vessels benefit from working with an easy-to-use application connected to the MESPAS Cube, a robust and secure server containing all relevant information, regularly mirrored to our central infrastructure.
Suppliers receive requests for quotations and are fully integrated into procurement processes via the same MESPAS concept and software products – this is the basis for an efficient information flow and ensures full transparency regarding the status of purchase requests or outstanding invoices due for settlement. The process is straight-forward: staff on board simply acknowledge goods received and stock levels are automatically updated, whilst headquarters proactively manage invoicing, accounting and budgeting processes.
In addition, stakeholders who are also interested in available information such as analytics results or in optimization potential - based on the data collected on the MESPAS central infrastructure - can easily access our various online dashboards and reports. Let owners, auditors, classification societies, public authorities etc. access financial KPI's, reports, trends, comparisons and whatever more you are willing to share.
We are integration friendly: both MESPAS's standard interfaces and data transfer protocols have been designed for seamless integration into other business software solutions.
Our IT teams are also happy to realise individual software components, should specific features be required. MESPAS facilitates straight-through processing to ensure uninterrupted business flows.

Q&A – Alan McCullagh (Set Decorator)
Alan McCullagh, Set Decorator for AMC's Hell on Wheels, discusses the set piece that inspired an entire episode and what Hell on Wheels has in common with Inception.
Q: The set decorator comes in after the sets are built. Describe exactly
what you're responsible for.
A: An example would be the saloon. Construction builds the floor and the walls and puts the roof on. Then the painters age down the floor, the wood, the canvas. And we essentially do everything else — the lighting, the furnishing, the artwork, the cast irons stoves, the glasswear, the bottles, tobacco, the piano, all of the seating. Anything that isn't a fixed object falls under our responsibility.
Q: What's your process for getting materials and set pieces that are
historically accurate?
A: We're really fortunate that, in Alberta, the lion's share of the work that we do here is period Westerns, so there are several prop houses here that facilitate these periods. My buyer will typically go out to every antique store that we can get to reasonably within our jurisdiction… This year we traveled to other cities to search their antique stores, just to generally build a catalogue of what's available, and then as storylines present themselves to us, we can then go back and…we'll say, "Oh, we saw a great lamp in Edmonton. Let's call that antique store and see if they still have that lamp."
Q: What's the furthest you've gone to land a perfect set piece?
A: We have actually rented out of Los Angeles before… In episode one of [Season 3], we had to find a crucifix… What we ended up with was an 18th century cast-iron Jesus that we had to ship up and use for the scene… I was able to call the gang down there [in L.A.] and I was able to facilitate getting us the piece that we needed that was accurate in regards to its finish and the patina on it — and it was beautiful, and it was period correct.
Q: The show films out on a large ranch, which must be difficult to reach. How do you get materials to set safely?
A: Unfortunately, not everything arrives in one piece. The logistics of the location itself –there's a pretty treacherous hill, and when we started prep on this new season we were still on the tail end of winter, so there's lots of frost in the roads and lots of snow and lots of runoff… So it's literally get it on trucks, get it down the hill… It's epic in its undertaking.
Q: Has there been a time where a set piece influenced the storyline on Hell on Wheels?
A: Last year, in order to park all the work trucks and stuff like that, we needed to build…an abattoir — essentially a butcher's façade that was to help hide the work trucks… Well, when the writers came up and saw that we had built this, they were like, "Hey, wouldn't it be interesting if we had an episode that had a butcher in it."
VIDEO: Inside Episode 203, "Slaughterhouse"
Q: What set items look "real" but aren't?
A: In the butcher episode, "Slaughterhouse," a large majority of the meat that was in that set was real… Most of the stuff that we're shooting are made from the materials that they should be made from. Like, all of our tents are all canvas; all of our wood is rough-cut wood like they would have had back then; the candles are all actual beeswax candles, as opposed to using modern paraffin. We try to keep things as legitimate as possible because when you're faking stuff you have to continually try to make it feel real.
Q: How has your approach to set decorating changed for the new season, if at all?
A: Last year, it felt like this was going to be a town that Hell on Wheels was going to leave behind… Whereas this year, our Hell on Wheels, we want it to have that feeling of being nomadic, so when the train track is 30 miles from town, we can make it feel like everything has been packed up and traveled past where the men are working, which is historically what would happen. Hell on Wheels, the town site itself, all the vendors and merchants and bars and brothels and all that kind of stuff — when the men were no longer coming back to the town, Hell on Wheels went to the men.
Q: What's been your favorite Hell on Wheels set to decorate?
A: We did a couple of sets [for Season 3] that have been a lot of fun because they're so removed from what we're typically doing. We're typically in dust and dirt and mud and canvas, and this is more brick and filth and gas lamps, and then in our higher-end sets it was high-end upholstered furnishings, nice lighting.
Q: You worked on the scifi flick Inception as an assistant set director. Did you learn anything from that film that you've incorporated in your Hell on Wheels work?
A: There are similarities for sure. The difficult thing for a production like Inception is that…they take their storyline secrecy seriously. Very very few people read the script. How that's helped on this show is, because we only have eight days of prep, and we often don't receive scripts and schedules until the eleventh hour before we're going into something, the patience that you learn for waiting for information and essentially having all of the scenarios you think may happen sort of pre-planned before you have to pull the trigger on anything — that's one of the things that we learned over there.
Q: You have to be a master of thinking on your feet…
A: I like to think what we do is much like free-form jazz. Sometimes the pace is slow and it's ta-doo, ta-doo, TA. And sometimes it's a full blown drum and piano solo, and they're both playing in a different key and in a different time signature and so it's a matter of being able to maintain flexibility in the face of chaos.

I want to see this movie! But I don't know if I can stomach all the clips of ovomit.
Maybe I'll read the book.
All I know is we MUST vote out this horror, or Lord only knows what will happen to America! Another Patriot who gets it is Hero, Clint Eastwood.

AGENT ORANGE MAN (Better Living Through Chemistry)Chuck Palazzo Salem-News.com
New song illustrates the frustrating plight of despair for those unfortunate enough to be poisoned by their own government during the Vietnam War.
(DA NANG Vietnam) - The song "AGENT ORANGE MAN (Better Living Through Chemistry)" is Recorded by Michael Gram (Former LHI Records Recording Artist). It tells the story of the Chemical Poisoning of Military Veterans and the environment both in Vietnam and here in the United States of America.
The producer and song writer Michael Glasser is a 100% disabled veteran who never served in Vietnam but was exposed to Agent Orange amongst several other carcinogenic chemicals at Chanute AFB in Rantoul, Illinois back in 1962-1964.
The EPA'S own website {see link below} tells a fighting story that an Air Force base closed in 1993 is and was a TOXIC Superfund site which the US Government has not even started to clean up after twenty years since it's closure.
For a frightening fact check go to the EPA'S website: cfpub.epa.gov/supercpad/cursites/csitinfo.cfm?id=0501172
Chuck Palazzo is a Marine Corps Vietnam Veteran, Interim Editor for Agent Orange, and works with Agent Orange Action Group http://aoag.org/ and Hoa Binh Chapter, Veterans For Peace http://vfp-vn.ning.com/ Chuck Palazzo has spent years since the war studying the impacts and effects of Agent Orange, a defoliant chemical sprayed by the U.S. govt. on the jungles of Vietnam. He says Dioxins have been re-discovered to cause all sorts of damage to humans. These include Heart Disease, Parkinsonism, Diabetes et cetera. Dioxins are already known to produce serious birth defects and a variety of cancers. The chemical is still sold in Third World Countries and is causing the same problems.
We at Salem-News.com welcome Chuck aboard and look forward to sharing more of his stories with our readers in the future.

In considering the iPad, one of my early concerns was the lack of a stylus and handwriting recognition software. I've used good versions of these tools before, and I know how powerful they can be. While getting ready to head off to ALA, I decided that I would try a couple of iPad tools. The obligatory Googling led me to the WritePad app and the Pogo Sketch Stylus.
I've found WritePad to be a very functional application. The handwriting recognition is good – at least with a finger. It's not so good with the stylus, but I find that to be a fault of the stylus rather than WritePad. More on that later. I would greatly prefer that handwriting recognition be thoughtfully integrated throughout the iPad OS, but Apple obviously doesn't share my enthusiasm. As it is, handwriting is converted to text within the WritePad app. From there it's a copy/paste job if you want to move it into another application.
Unfortunately, the Pogo Sketch Stylus proved to be a disaster. I bought it expressly for use at this conference, and it was so bad that I left it at home. No point in packing a useless item, right? I've struggled with how to describe the Pogo Sketch, and this is what I've come up with . . .
Remember when you were little and got a nice, new box of Magic Markers? Your pictures had crisp, clean lines, and all was right with the world. Then THAT KID got his hands on them. You know the one: the kid who smashed the markers down on the paper as hard as he could, thus ruining the tips and turning them into a mushy bunch of fibers. That's what the Pogo Sketch feels like and looks like – a mushy bunch of fibers. Remember how you couldn't really get a clean line after that kid smashed the marker tips? That's how the Pogo Sketch responds. My handwriting isn't the prettiest, but it is completely legible with pen and paper. With this stylus, it becomes almost unreadable. Just like a mushy Magic Marker, you can't predict where the lines will fall. You wind up with stray marks and marks that don't line up correctly. Not surprisingly, WritePad can't really do anything with the resulting characters. I wish I could say that I just need more practice, but I've used styli for years. I had a sinking feeling as soon as I saw the tip of the Pogo Sketch, and my fears were confirmed when I actually used it.
So you can't always get what you want. I'm still looking for the optimal combination. WritePad will be fine with the correct stylus, but it would be better if integrated throughout the OS. Pogo Sketch just doesn't get the job done, so I'm still looking. *sigh* The iPad has such possibilities. Get with the program, Apple.

Born on 28th December 1870, Charles Bennett was a British athlete, winner of the 1500 metres at the 1900 Summer Olympics and the first British track and field athlete to become Olympic champion. He was a member of Finchley Harriers (founded 1877) which was amalgamated into Hillingdon Athletic Club in 1966.
Bennett, a train driver born in Shapwick, Dorset, was one of the top British middle distance runners of his era, winning the AAA 4-mile (6.4km) championship in 1897, and the cross country running title in 1899 and 1900. In the latter year, also the Olympic year, he won the British title in the mile, qualifying himself for the 1500 metres in Paris.
Bennett lead throughout the race, defeating local favourite, Frenchman Henri Deloge in 4:06.2. That time was an official world record, although many athletes had already run faster in competitions over the slightly longer mile.
Together with the combined British/ Australian 5000 metre team, Bennett won a second Olympic title. Bennett finished first in the race, with an unofficial world record 15:29.2, beating team mate John Rimmer. His third event was the 4000m steeplechase, in which he just failed to catch up with the same Rimmer in the final part of the race, settling for second place.
Charles Bennett died in Bournemouth on 9th March 1949, aged 78.
The village of Shapwick celebrated his Olympic achievements in September 2000 and for the London Olympics in July 2012, with organised one mile runs around a measured mile through the village. Through generous sponsorship and donations, this spawned a large group of villagers to form a committee, resulting in the building of the Charles Bennett Memorial Village Green, which remains open to this day and is used throughout the year for village events.
More than 100 years after his Olympic achievements, his grandson Chris Bennett found his abandoned and overgrown grave in the corner of St Andrew's Churchyard in Kinson, Bournemouth.
In December 2011 Mr Bennett was finally commemorated after Anthony Ives Memorials of Bournemouth donated free a proper headstone to recognise his incredible feat.
The plinth, unveiled on the eve of the year of the London Olympics, reads: "In loving memory of Charles Bennett 1870-1949. First British track and field athlete to become Olympic Champion. Bennett, known as the Shapwick Express, won two gold medals and a silver at the Paris Games in 1900".
The new headstone also remembers Mr Bennett's wife Sarah Lena and reads "Until the day break".

Silver Lake/Echo Park
Silver Lake is a residential and commercial neighborhood in the central and northeastern region of Los Angeles, California, built around what was then a city reservoir which gives the district its name. It is known for its restaurants and clubs, and many notable people have made their homes there. The neighborhood has three public and four private schools.
Silver Lake, known as one of "the city's hippest neighborhoods", has many bars, night clubs and restaurants. Since the 1990s, Silver Lake has become the center of the alternative and indie rock scene in Los Angeles. Since the indie rock music scene is particularly prominent in this neighborhood, comparisons are often drawn between Silver Lake and New York City's Williamsburg district. As a result, it is sometimes referred to as the "Williamsburg of the West". Silver Lake has been used as the film location for several films and television shows. Sunset Triangle Plaza is featured in AMC's Fear The Walking Dead's pilot episode. In the opening scene Nick Clark (Frank Dillane) is seen running frantically down a busy street before being struck by a motorist and collapsing at Griffith Park Boulevard and Edgecliffe Drive. When segueing into the show's title sequence, an aerial high-rise shot of Nick Clark lying in the street shows the pedestrian plaza.
Echo Park is a densely populated neighborhood of 43,000+ residents in Central Los Angeles. It contains one high school and eight other schools, and has been home to many notable people. The neighborhood is centered on the lake of the same name.
Within Echo Park are the following:
Angelino Heights
Angelino Heights is most notable for its Victorian era residences, although these are few in number.
Elysian Heights
Since the teens, Elysian Heights, along with Edendale, has been home to many of the counter-culture, political radicals, artists, writers, architects and filmmakers.
Historic Filipinotown
Historic Filipinotown makes up the southwest portion of Echo Park.
Victor Heights
Victor Heights lies between Chinatown, Los Angeles, and the central part of Echo Park, off Sunset Boulevard near the Pasadena Freeway below Elysian Park. In 2009 Victor Heights and its hilly streets were described as "a collection of stuccoed apartments and faded bungalows, a place with a lot of old-timers."

ITHACA, N.Y. – The storied 2018 run for the Southern Vermont College women's volleyball team came to an end Friday night as the Mountaineers fell 3-0 to Ithaca College in the first round of the NCAA Division III championship tournament at Ben Light Gymnasium.
The Bombers took the first set by a 25-10 clip before topping SVC 25-12 in the second. IC then completed the sweep with a 25-6 victory in the third.
Southern Vermont ends the year with an overall record of 21-7.
The Mountaineers were led in the kills column by sophomore Nikki Ramirez (West Covina, Calif.) who had four, and senior captain Liv Sowles (Sacramento, Calif.) followed with three while adding four digs. Junior Abby Landon (South Glens Falls, N.Y.) tallied a pair of kills as classmate Sarah Baty (Portola, Calif.) chalked up seven assists. Senior libero Heidy Benitez (Tulare, Calif.) and junior Dahlia Rafael-Tirado(Providence, R.I.) each had three digs on the night.
Sowles racked up 387 kills on the year—that being the third most in team history for a single season and putting her at second on the program's all-time list with 716. Baty's 518 assists in 2018 were the fifth most in a single season, and Benitez's 569 digs were the most for SVC by 105. Junior Meg Maddalena (Portola, Calif.) tallied 66 total blocks on the year to put herself at fourth on the team's single season record list. Benitez finished her career with 1,033 digs—surpassing the previous all-time mark by 291.
The Bombers started the night with a bounce in their step—quickly going on top 5-1 before SVC took its first timeout of the match. Ithaca built its lead up to 15-3 to force a second Mountaineer stoppage, and that separation would be increased to 15 at the end of the frame for IC to take the opener.
Southern Vermont stayed close in the early stages of the second game, but Ithaca was able to slowly pull away and go on top 13-6. Following a timeout, SVC got one back after a great dig by freshman Alyssa Kuchis (Amsterdam, N.Y.), and Sowles added a kill shortly after. The rest was all IC, however, with the Bombers closing the set on an 11-4 run which included six unanswered points at the end.
Ithaca made quick work of the third set to wrap up a busy day at the Hill Center. The Bombers scored the first 11 points of the stanza before Ramirez tipped down a kill to get SVC on the board. Landon dropped a nice kill later on, but IC proved to be too much for the Mountaineers to handle as the hosts moved into the regional semifinals.

Jurors indict Kansas man accused of threatening lawyer
KANSAS CITY (AP) - Federal grand jurors have indicted a Kansas man who's accused of threatening to "bash in" the head of a lawyer.
The Kansas City Star reports that 52-year-old Rick Draskovich, of Ottawa, was indicted Wednesday on a charge of making the telephone threat on Aug. 31. The alleged victim wasn't identified.
The U.S. attorney's office alleges that Draskovich said, "I am about to go to the law firm and bash his . head in." The indictment also says that Draskovich suggested the lawyer get a restraining order, but added it wouldn't do any good.
The indictment says Draskovich then said that, "Just by the time he even understands what's happening, he's going to get his head bashed in."
Draskovich's attorney didn't immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press seeking comment.

A breathtaking achievement in marimba design.
Adams new Alpha Series keyboards feature tuning advancements that further enhance the sound of the instruments, notably making the upper registers sound more open and resonant. Using a proprietary computer-assisted method, Adams produces bars meticulously precision-tuned through the sixth overtone in the lower register. This exclusive tuning process gives Adams keyboards the most stable pitch and evenness of sound available, and allows complete control over all aspects of the marimba's sound. The MAHA50 is a five-octave instrument. This model features graphite rails.
Adams collaborated with Kessels Granger Design Works to create the newly contoured rails, end pieces, and resonators, available in many color and stain combinations. Alpha Series instruments feature the Adams Voyager Height Adjustment System.
The Alpha Series family of instruments represents the state-of-the-art in modern instrument design. The high sweeping arc of the resonators, rich wood stain finish, and polished aluminum name plate all merge seamlessly to form a visual and aural statement in modern design. Only the finest aged Honduras Rosewood is considered for the keyboard. Each bar is then tuned via the Alpha Tuning Method that ensures not only the perfect fundamental note but the perfect harmonic structure throughout the upper register. Each instrument is available in a choice of resonator color and choice of rail and end piece for an instrument as individual as you are.
- Stunningly accurate intonation
- Complex but stable overtones
- Dynamically responsive
- Beautiful resonator style options
Order today and experience impeccable intonation and dynamic response.

Our solid intake and selection process guarantees a strong and diverse community. We take in people with different experiences and backgrounds to generate a highly creative and productive learning environment.
What the courses meant for our students
"In the time I spent at Elium Academy, Evan has proven to be an outstanding mentor, capable of providing the right guidance to any developer regardless of their understanding and experience level. He excels at understanding the needs of his students, tailoring his approach to the student and pointing them in the right direction as well as explaining complex programming concepts in easily understandable ways."
"I originally signed up for individual mentoring with Evan, but eventually decided to join the fullstack course instead. I came to the fullstack program to become a developer and left with my own FinTech startup. Staying in Brussels with the Elewa staff and alumni community provided me with the support (and developer) I needed to get WA off the ground."
Backend & Logic @ Keyrock
"Elium has provided me with so many great opportunities. Through their network I was able to get a dev job right after graduation working for a Spanish start-up. Then I consulted with BNP Paribas for a while, but now I am back working closely with other Elium Alumni on a crypto-currency exchange platform."
"This course is really for everyone. My cohort had everyone from complete beginners to me. Everyone learned what they needed to if they put in the work. Even when I already knew the libraries we were using, Evan always found a way for me to become a better developer with every project. But the mixed student backgrounds are what make it so great. I met my co-founder Nisha here, and we're now working at Start It KBC right next to Elewa!"
"Elewa was one of my most valuable investments as it has given me a jumpstart to explore new areas in my career path as well as create new opportunities for me to gracefully transition into starting my own business.This program is good for individuals who are passionate about learning web development but do not know where to start from. You must be commited to put in the hours and the trainers are more than willing to support. "
"Being surrounded by motivated and helpful friends was just what I needed! I'm now working as an Angular.js developer for a Freelancing platform in Brussels. The skills I learned at Elewa and the continued support I've received have made this a good transition. The best advice I can give is to study hard before you show up, you'll get out twice as much as you put in!"
"Elewa's lessons and examples during the boot camp prepared me for my junior developer role. The program also prepared me for my future role by teaching me how read specs, write clean readable code and work with other developers. All the concepts I learned were applicable to most parts of programming. More importantly many of the things I learned in the first 6 weeks of the boot camp were the same task's that my job requires me to do."
"Teach and learn is the way to go. I've never gotten so good at anything as fast as I did while teaching programming at Elewa. I am now a software developer in Ghent and love it. The support at Elewa from the instructors and mentors is great. If you prepare well enough before you come and study as hard as you can, there's no way you won't walk out of Elewa prepared to keep learning. Can't wait to see you all at Place Lux!"
Backend Developer, Keyrock
"The projects at Elewa taught me key lessons about software development like reading and writing specifications, separation of concerns, modular architecture, and user-focused design. I also learned great study skills, those were maybe the most valuable skills I learned here. I use them every day at work. Without them I wouldn't be able to keep up with all the new tickets!"

Alcohol is the most often used by athletes recreational drug. According to a dictionary, drug is a substance that acts on the nervous system, causing sedation, pain relieve, intoxication, euphoria or sleepiness. Alcohol is not an essential component of the human diet. 1 g of ethanol provides about 7 calories of energy (in theory, the issue will be developed further in the text).
Jeśli nie masz wystarczającej wiedzy - chętnie ułożymy profesjonalny plan za Ciebie. Dołącz do grona 90 000 zadowolonych klientów :)
- Darmowe konsultacje z doświadczonym dietetykiem i trenerem
- Ponad 6000 posiłków i 600 ćwiczeń, które możesz dowolnie wymieniać
Let's take into account the amount of ethanol and its caloric value only:
- 500 ml beer, 4.5% - contains 22.5 ml of ethanol (~18 g). This makes 126 kcal in 500 ml,
- 500 ml beer, 6% - contains 30 ml of ethanol (23.7 g). This makes: 142.2 kcal in 500 ml,
- 500 ml beer, 10% - contains 50 ml of ethanol (39.5 g). This makes 276.5 kcal in 500 ml,
- Vodka 250 ml (40% ethanol) - provides 100 ml of ethanol (78.9 g), which makes 552.3 kcal.
For example, a 0,33 l bottle of stout supplies:
- 0.2-1.3 g of fat,
- 3 g of protein,
- 23.1 g carbohydrates,
That is, 105 kcal. Additionally it is known that dark beer may comprise approx. 20 ml of ethanol in 0.33 litre: 140 kcal or more. So a 0,33 l bottle of beer gives your appx. 245 kcal. [2]
A pint of ale beer has around 371 kcal.
Given all of the nutrients:
- A pint of lager, about 500 g. is 245 kcal
- A pint of stout, about 500 g. is 371 kcal
- A glass of whiskey - 125 kcal,
- Semi-dry white wine - a 100 g glass - 81 kcal,
- Sweet white wine, sweet, a 100 g glass - 95 kcal,
- Dry white wine, a 100 g glass - 66 kcal,
- Red wine, a 100 g glass - 68 kcal,
- Vodka, a 50 g glass - 110 kcal [1]
Alcohol has a multidirectional impact on:
- metabolism, including obtaining energy from fat,
- heart and circulatory system,
- thermoregulatory functions,
- hormonal system,
- liver, kidneys.
Data from New Zealand have shown that many students who train athletics professionally drink more alcohol in comparison to a group of physically inactive. Research from France brought conflicting results: some say athletes consume greater amounts of alcohol, others - lower.
The impact of alcohol on glycogen metabolism
Glycogen is the primary component of the energy stored in your body. Athletes have large resources of stored glucose, estimated at least at 1,600 kcal for a person weighing 70 kg. Burke checked how drinking alcohol affects the restoration of glycogen after intense cycling.
Three types of "diet" were applied:
- control group: high carbohydrate diet, optimal for glycogen stores recovery,
- alcohol and reduced amount of carbohydrates (instead of 210 grams of carbohydrates, 120 g of alcohol were supplied),
- Alcohol + carbohydrates (120 g of alcohol + a large amount of carbohydrates).
Results: 8 hours after the training (glycogen mmol / kg):
- Control group (carbohydrates): 44.6 ± 6;
- alcohol (120 g), and smaller amounts of carbohydrates: 24.4 ± 7
- alcohol (120 g) + carbohydrates: 36.2 ± 8
Results: 24 hours after training (glycogen mmol / kg):
- Control (carbohydrates): 81.7 ± 5
- alcohol (120 g), and smaller amounts of carbohydrates: 68.4 ± 5
- alcohol (120 g) + carbohydrates 85.1 ± 9
Conclusions from the study:
- As you can see, with reduced resources of carbohydrates in the diet and the addition of alcohol, after 8 hours the glycogen in the muscles has halved in comparison to the high-carbs group.
- However, the impact of alcohol in correspondingly large surplus of carbohydrates is not clear. After 8 hours, the difference in muscle glycogen between the groups (high-carbs, high-carbs and alcohol) was insignificant, and after 24 hours none - control group 81.7 ± 5, and a group with alcohol + carbohydrates: 85.1 ± 9
- Scientists emphasise that individual differences between different people are so important that one participant would suffer big disturbance in restoring carbohydrates resources in the muscles after drinking alcohol (even with an adequate supply of carbohydrates), while another will not feel at all the effects of alcohol on slowing down the process of post-workout regeneration.
- People who drink a lot of alcohol may have a problem with providing the right amount of carbohydrates - another source of energy - and ethanol is not very effective. [3]
The impact of alcohol on dehydration and thermoregulation
Dehydrating effect of ethanol has been well known for at least a few hundred years. Eggleton estimated that for every gramme of ingested ethanol 10 ml of urine is produced.
Alcohol acts to suppress the secretion of the antidiuretic hormone: vasopressin in the pituitary gland. Research shows that a competitor's rehydration with water or a soft drink containing up to 2% of alcohol is comparable, whereas 4% of alcohol in a drink (for example a weak beer) slows down regeneration processes since there is increased excretion of urine (further loss of water). Interestingly, the higher alcohol concentration, the worse it gets. Vodka containing 40% ethanol has 10 ml of alcohol and 15 ml of water in a 25 ml portion. Drinking 25 ml of vodka causes discharge of more than 100 ml of water, so the water balance worsens by 85 ml.
Alcohol worsens thermoregulation, for instance it increases heat loss in winter. It has been found that consumption of 2.5 ml of alcohol per kg of body weight resulted in increased heat loss during 3 h long endurance training. It was also found that alcohol impairs adaptation to high and low temperatures.

text: The recent market volatility amidst Asian currencies depreciations have sparked much speculation, yet latest industry figures show no signs of slowdown in terms of Chinese property investments abroad, reports the Business Spectator (16 September 2015). "The Chinese spent $US52 billion on overseas property in 2014, and we expect them to spend $US220 billion per annum by 2020," says Andrew Taylor, Juwai.com Co-CEO. "Regardless of any individual's experience, we expect at least 25% growth in international property buying in 2015," he added.
