It was a totally bullshit charge - local VFW denied Veterans For Peace a chance to speak at V-Day rally on city property.

Hurricanes on the coast are completely predictable. The major damage of Ike was storm surge, affecting people who insist on building houses where storm surges happen.
Maybe not every year, but it only takes one to wipe out your neighborhood. Galveston Island and Bolivar Peninsula were scrubbed clean.
Are there not construction codes that require more fireproof materials in these fire prone areas? I can't imagine a wood frame house with an asphalt shingle roof is a real good choice?

You might want to take a look at a map of the area before you draw such a dramatic and ill-conceived conclusion. The 'fuel-free' buffer between them and wilderness areas consists of just about 40miles of major urban development. How many Walgreens and schools and how much asphalt do you think is necessary to protect? This Sylmar fire is shocking because it's taking place in the g-d middle of the city. Try and visualise a similar fire taking place on 5th Avenue, NY.

i thought that thermite creates it's own oxygen.
trifecta
Well, oxygen is an element, so it's more likely that it is released in the reaction. Only God, or a nuclear reaction can create elements.
All I know about thermite came from Mission Impossible, and the Man from UNCLE.
Is it real?

Combustion likes oxygen
You get too much you get to fry

If we burn up all the oxygen there will be no oxygen to burn.
That should do it.

No cedar shingles. Fireproof exterior. Screens over all vents in the

Craig is intimately familiar with the president-elect's record because he played the role of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in debate preparations.

Silky Sweet Potato Chiffon Cream Pie
Serves 8
This pie may be made a day ahead, but should be made at least 3 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
The crust:-- About 18 good-quality gingersnaps (about 2 inches in diameter) 5 ounces total
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
The filling:3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons unflavored powdered gelatin
3/4 cup whole milk
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 cups mashed sweet potato, fresh or canned
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3 large egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Make the crust: Center a rack in the oven and
preheat to 350°. Have on hand a 9-inch glass pie dish. Place the gingersnaps and sugar in a food processor and process until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a medium bowl, add the butter and toss until thoroughly coated and crumbly. Pour the crumb mixture into the pie dish, and use your fingertips to press the crumbs firmly and evenly
over the bottom and up the sides. Bake for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let it cool completely. The crust will firm as it cools.
For the filling: Sprinkle the surface of the orange juice with the gelatin, and set aside for at least 5 minutes to soften. In a 1 1/2- to 2-quart saucepan, combine the milk, brown sugar, mashed sweet potatoes, cinnamon, ginger,cloves, egg yolks, and salt. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring slowly and constantly, until the mixture
registers 160° on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from heat and stir in softened gelatin until it is dissolved. Stir in the orange zest and pour the mixture into a large bowl; set aside until cooler, about 100°. (To hasten the cooling, set it in the refrigerator and stir occasionally until the desired temperature is reached.)
Whip the cream in a large bowl just until soft peaks form. Fold in one-third of the whipped cream into the filling to lighten, then fold in another third of the cream until incorporated. Refrigerate the remaining whipped cream until serving time. Pour the filling into the pie crust and refrigerate for about 3 hours or until set. Garnish with dollops of the whipped cream.

Yea, well, where I was (Butte Co.) shake roofs were illegal. It was the decks that were the problem. The fire department would come by once a year and make sure you had cleared brush around your house, and cite you if you hadn't. Decks. That was the biggest problem.

Wetting the roof can help with one or two stray embers. If the fire is that intense that it's burning the neighborhood down, it can be pretty futile.
Moe, in the 94 quake, Mlle was only 8, and she had a doughboy pool. We used the water in it, and so did our neighbors.

Depends. For falling ash from far away, probably. But it depends on your water source. If you're in the city, sure, go ahead. But if, like we were, you're out in the sticks, with well water, you have to kind of factor in what the chances of losing power are, if the water might be better used all at once, and so forth.

RE: Las Vegas
Originally a wide spot in the road, where a few rail lines crossed, and was a water stop for steam engines. The local aquifer was more than enough for the need.
Building The Dam, 40 miles up the road, providing really cheap electricity and water to Las Vegas. When Bugsy built the Sands (was it?)that was the start of Las Vegas as we now it today.
Cheap electricity, essentially unlimited fresh water and gambling = a huge city in the middle of an uninhabitable desert.
I've been to Vegas. It's really unnatural. Fun, but unnatural.
a huge city in the middle of an uninhabitable desert.
Doesn't Las Vegas mean "the meadows" in Spanish? Compared to some of the land around it, I don't think the original settlers thought it was all that uninhabitable.

Well 600 homes is a shocking figure, until you realize that 500 of them were trailer homes. Plus anything that increases demand in southern California for housing can't be all bad...

An intervention is an orchestrated attempt by one, or often many, people (usually family nd friends) to get someone to seek professional help with an addiction or some kind of traumatic event or crisis. The term intervention is most often used when the traumatic event involves addiction to drugs or other items. Intervention can also refer to the act of using a technique within a therapy session.
Contents
Seriously harmful activities and less harmful activities
Interventions have been used to address serious personal problems, including, but not limited to, alcoholism, compulsive gambling, drug abuse, compulsive eating and other eating disorders, self-mutilation, tobacco smoking, "workaholism", and various types of poor personal health care.
Interventions have also been conducted due to personal habits not as frequently considered seriously harmful, such as video game addiction, excessive computer use and excessive television viewing.
