Typically, lofted burning embers initiate ignitions within the HIZ – to homes directly and nearby flammables leading to homes. This area of a home and its immediate surroundings is called the home ignition zone (HIZ). A home’s ignition vulnerabilities in relation to nearby burning materials within 100 feet principally determine home ignitions. “Surprisingly, research has shown that home ignitions during extreme wildfires result from conditions local to a home. ![]() In September of 2021 Jack Cohen and Dave Strohmaier wrote about the Home Ignition Zone on Wildfire Today: When one home ignites, it becomes another ember generator, showering the rest of the community with ignition sources, resulting in the fire growing exponentially. And it only takes one - landing in a leafy gutter, on a deck, on wooden steps, in a vent, on firewood, or dead grass near a structure and the home can be destroyed. Would the treatment have been a mile wide, reducing the number of burning embers landing in the town? Probably not. If the Forest Service had completed the huge fuel treatment project they had promised around Grizzly Flats, that does not automatically mean no structures would have been destroyed in the community. In 44 hours it grew from 781 to 53,465 acres while spotting more than a mile ahead according to mapping data from infrared aircraft. Obviously the burning conditions were in favor of the fire that first night, not the firefighters. I strongly believe in aggressive initial attack “with overwhelming force using both ground and air resources, arriving within the first 10 to 30 minutes when possible.” But it is difficult to criticize, especially a year later, an Incident Commander’s decision to pull everyone off a fire due to concerns about safety. ![]() After another 44 hours it had burned through Grizzly Flats, growing to more than 55,000 acres. Later on day 2, according to 60 Minutes, the agency “dismissed a half dozen CAL FIRE engines and crews, letting most of them go before their replacements arrived.”Īs you can see on the map below, about 29 hours after it started the fire was mapped at 781 acres. The reason stated in the log was for “accountability.” 60 Minutes said the Forest Service told them it was for the safety of the firefighters. According to a dispatch log the Incident Commander ordered everyone off the fire at 1:42 a.m., about seven hours after it started. One of the first challenges was gaining access, complicated by a washed out road and others that had not been maintained. ![]() The 13-minute piece on 60 Minutes concentrated on the initial attack of the fire, which was first reported at about 7 p.m. Then on September 26 and 27 National Public Radio published articles about the failed project and difficulties in conducting prescribed fires. On August 16 Cap Radio wrote about the fuel treatment program the US Forest Service planned to conduct around the town, but barely started. The latest is a piece aired on CBS’ 60 Minutes yesterday (see video below) about the fire southwest of Lake Tahoe, California. Last year’s Caldor Fire and the community that was heavily damaged by it, Grizzly Flats, has been in the news recently.

![]() He even inserted himself in the books as another character in what I can only call a very bold move.īut.yes, there's a but. The descriptions of people and places are so vivid that to this day I can recall most of them. There's so much in terms of story telling that it'd be impossible to even begin to describe what happens in the books- there's time travel, part of the plot takes place in the 70's, then the 80's and the present day, all of that intertwined with the alternate universe where the Dark Tower exists. The prose flows flawlessly, the characters are extremely well defined and you get emotionally attached to each and every one of them on their journey, the pace varies from action-packed to slow to flashback and then action again. First of all, I have to say that this was a massive undertaking from Stephen King and he didn't disappoint ( well, until I got to the ending anyway.) The books are beautifully written and he has managed to create a whole new universe of places and characters whose only relation seems to be that mysterious Dark Tower. ![]() Well, it's been a few years since I finished reading The Dark Tower Series and I have decided to share a few thoughts. Writing in the evenings and on the weekends, he continued to produce short stories and to work on novels. In the fall of 1971, Stephen began teaching English at Hampden Academy, the public high school in Hampden, Maine. Many were gathered into the Night Shift collection or appeared in other anthologies. Throughout the early years of his marriage, he continued to sell stories to men's magazines. Stephen made his first professional short story sale ("The Glass Floor") to Startling Mystery Stories in 1967. As Stephen was unable to find placement as a teacher immediately, the Kings lived on his earnings as a laborer at an industrial laundry, and her student loan and savings, with an occasional boost from a short story sale to men's magazines. He met Tabitha Spruce in the stacks of the Fogler Library at the University, where they both worked as students they married in January of 1971. A draft board examination immediately post-graduation found him 4-F on grounds of high blood pressure, limited vision, flat feet, and punctured eardrums. in English and qualified to teach on the high school level. He came to support the anti-war movement on the Orono campus, arriving at his stance from a conservative view that the war in Vietnam was unconstitutional. He was also active in student politics, serving as a member of the Student Senate. From his sophomore year at the University of Maine at Orono, he wrote a weekly column for the school newspaper, THE MAINE CAMPUS. Stephen attended the grammar school in Durham and Lisbon Falls High School, graduating in 1966. King found work in the kitchens of Pineland, a nearby residential facility for the mentally challenged. After Stephen's grandparents passed away, Mrs. Other family members provided a small house in Durham and financial support. Her parents, Guy and Nellie Pillsbury, had become incapacitated with old age, and Ruth King was persuaded by her sisters to take over the physical care of them. When Stephen was eleven, his mother brought her children back to Durham, Maine, for good. Parts of his childhood were spent in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where his father's family was at the time, and in Stratford, Connecticut. After his father left them when Stephen was two, he and his older brother, David, were raised by his mother. Stephen Edwin King was born the second son of Donald and Nellie Ruth Pillsbury King. Being a VST XL Control FreakĪ device button activates bottom row of rotary knobs to control the first eight parameters of any of selected effects on a track. All in all, there are eight user presets and eight factory presets, more than enough. I use to spend plenty of time trying to be precise with volume knobs in Ableton, but using a hardware controller can really make a difference.Īll described functions are included as a part of a main factory preset. ![]() Faders are actually the hardware version of the faders you have in Ableton Live, so controlling volume is now a much more enjoyable thing. The third row is for panning – same procedure: first eight tracks already present, then for more press track select. Sounds a bit tricky, but after spending first five minutes banging the knobs, buttons and faders, you will get there. There are no problems if you have more send effects additional sends could be added with send select knobs. The first row is for a first send effect and second for a second one. If you want to include additional tracks, it is just a click away with a track select knob. The first sixteen buttons, or the two upper rows of buttons, to be precise, control the send volumes for first eight tracks. Then there are eight sliders and sixteen buttons at the bottom along with a vertical row of command buttons at the right, aimed at some general actions, like switching between user and factory mode, send select buttons, track selection along with device, mute, solo and record arm buttons. Launch Control XL has twenty four knobs (three rows with eight knobs). It is really plug and play and not plug and pray as sometimes can happen. ![]() The second thing that impressed me was that Ableton Live instantly recognized Launch Control XL without any additional setup procedures or similar gymnastics. Ah, memories … there is no such weapon as a Yamaha DX7 – you can actually kill someone with it – solid and heavy, almost like a sword. After all, it is a controller – a truly old school controller – one that can be bashed on the head of a drunken intruder at a concert and not like those new controllers that can’t hurt anyone. But being so solidly built, I can easily understand that price policy. Even the USB cable is big and massive.Īt first I thought “why the hell this should cost so much?”, a piece of plastic for almost €200 EUR. Knobs are really solid and you need to even apply some minimal force to move them, so it is very easy to apply exact values without having troubles going too far in any direction as it is the case with too-loose knobs that we get on some products. The whole thing is middle-weight, not being so light that can be easily blown off the table. Actually, it is built like musical equipment from 80s, from the time before various manufacturer applied cheap, tin, and shabby plastic that is so prevalent in all new products sharing the same qualities with the era we are living now. It was pretty big controller, but far more firm than most of the plastic musical toys that I’ve played with during last ten of fifteen years. I was expecting a fragile peace of plastic and was surprised at what came to my doorstep. Could all those knobs, buttons and sliders become a hardware version of your DAW?
