Hackers Creek, near Jane Lew, Lewis County, West Virginia
John Hacker is my 5th great grandfather.
Beginning in the 1760s when the earliest settlers crossed the divides of the Allegheny Mountains and made their tomahawk claims along the waters of the upper Monongahela River in what became the Hacker's Creek settlements of western Virginia, the names and exploits of the frontiersmen of the region were indelibly inscribed in the pages of American history. These settlements were the western frontier of the fledgling nation far longer than any place in its western expansion; and, there were more conflicts between its people and the red man during the last half of the eighteenth century than anywhere else on the long frontier.
Hacker's Creek was named for John Hacker, a Stafford County,Virginia, native who came with the first party of men to settle at present-day Buckhannon, Upshur County, West Virginia. Finding that land he desired at Buckhannon had already been claimed by Samuel Pringle, an earlier sojourner in the region, he crossed the Buckhannon Mountain and selected four hundred acres on a tributary of the Muddy River, as the West Fork of the Monongahela River was then called. John Hacker thus became the first permanent European settler in what is today's Lewis County, West Virginia.

In search of a larger food fair than offered at San Diego's Mitsuwa, I journeyed out to Mitsuwa's Costa Mesa store. This is followed by visits to the Costa Mesa and the Gardena Marukai stores, as well as a visit to Gardena Ramen.
Unfortunately most all food items were a big disappointment: Kukuru's Takoyaki - too soggy/undercooked for my taste, Yaki-saba Oshi-zushi - poor quality saba, and Gardena Ramen's Shoyu-men - a complete disaster.
As usual, though, Beard Papa's Shu-cream puffs saved the day.
It was also a trip to score some dry goods, most notably a very unusual Yixing clay fuzzy logic rice cooker.
(BTW this does an incredible job at cooking rice. It reminds me of the taste I used to get when cooking rice in a heavy bottomed and lidded pot on the stove. I was actually looking for the traditional and old-fashioned kama used in kamameshi, but the practicality of the fuzzy cooker with the clay pot won me over...
It even makes "koge" if left in the cooker on warm, and the rice doesn't seem to pick up many of the off-flavors and colors when left to warm overnight. One nit: the design allows for the condensed steam to roll back on to the cooked rice, leaving little patches of soggy rice on top when kept on warm for too long, though even this can be easily fixed by a simple hack...)
Also a big plus was Marukai's Tsukiji fish event, from which I picked up 2 Yari-ikas. (of which Morita-san of Kaito Sushi kindly offered to fillet for me!).
Being largely disappointed in most of the food items, I topped off the day with a few bites at Kaito Sushi, where some incredible Kanpachi and Mirugai did not disappoint.

The Hack and Slash Theatre Company was formed in 1992 by John Davis and Spencer Humm with the mission of bringing outstanding swashbuckling action and fresh, edgy comedy to live theatre audiences all over.
the practical problem is that soldering usually sticks badly into pcbs, and for those who love to hack them, the resulting connections are fragile and unsecured. i've got pretty good results using a second hand micro drill from a dentist friend (the only problem is the fragility of the tool itself).

We are just continuing the story that started around 10,000 years ago. So many parallels to the broader fields involved with Earth System Science & Engineering (& Management).
Should get anyone with a pulse thinking about the possibilities.
The one (& only) time I met George Church was at one of Venter's Genomics conferences several years ago in Hilton Head, when I was still a grad student. Dr. Church stopped at my poster (which combined topics from genome signatures, biogeochemical cycles and climate modeling) and we talked about this and other unrelated scientific topics for quite some time. I was impressed of course by his intellect, but even moreso by his demeanor and the thoughtful questions and responses he contributed.
So, say you have a electrical gang-box that needs upgrading, located behind some wooden panelling that ends about 10 inches below the box with no obstructions. Do you:
a) Remove the old box, slightly enlarge the wall opening to accomodate the dimensions of the new box, and push a new flush-mounted box into the panelling in the place where you want to install it, snaking the wiring up under the panelling to the box?
or
b) Say, "Screw that", and simply take a Sawz-All to the (original, probably irreplacable) panelling so that now there's all the space in the world to install a stud-mounted box?
Guess which option my electrical contractors chose?
The really annoying thing is that a different crew on Monday installed a brand new double gang-box outlet in the wall under my computer table, having to cut a new hole for it through the exact same type of panelling and run wire from under the subfloor, and they did an awesome job. In a place where no one's likely to notice it. As opposed to this box, which is in the most visually-prominent spot in the kitchen.
Grr. So if you were me, what would you be demanding from the contractor right now?
- Repair? I don't know if it can be repaired without looking like an obvious patch - and besides, the section they took out is unusable and I don't know if it's possible to find matching replacement panelling (this stuff's 50 years old).
- Ask for a discount - which does nothing to fix the cosmetic problem? Or get a quote from a remodelling contractor and ask that the electrician pay for it?
- Have the Corian countertop backsplash run high enough to cover the damage? That would probably look silly.
I'm stumped. Suggestions?
