Five men responsible for a terrifying attack on a young
French couple as they slept in their campervan on their last
night in New Zealand could be connected to local shearing
gangs, say police.
The tourists were parked on a layby on Ohautira Rd, between
Raglan and Huntly, when a black 4WD pulled up and shone its
headlights through the window about 2am yesterday.
Detective Constable Nick Pirihi said two men approached and
tried to open the locked front doors.
The men, who were believed to have been drunk, then shook the
vehicle violently before trying a side door which they
managed to slide open.
One of the men did a haka directed at the couple, and
demanded "rent" from them.
"There were threats made, to the female as well. It was
absolutely terrifying for them," Mr Pirihi said.
The male tourist was dragged from the van and punched in the
"The men then said 'right, you've got two minutes to decide
what you're going to give us'. The couple went back to the
vehicle, offered them $10, which is all they cash that they
had on them at the time."
The offenders took the money but said it wasn't enough, so
the couple gave them their clothes from the back of the van.
The men eventually drove off with two pairs of jeans and the
man's empty wallet, which was later found discarded.
Mr Pirihi said police urgently wanted to speak to members of
the public who knew anything about the attack.
"We suspect they [the offenders] were either living or
working locally. I know there are shearing gangs in the area
at the moment, so they may be connected to something like
Mr Pirihi said the couple flew home last night after three
weeks in New Zealand.
"They'd had a fantastic time in New Zealand; they'd been down
to the South Island and unfortunately this happened to them
on their last night.
"They were very gracious and thankful for the support they
received and said they still loved New Zealand and would have
good memories [but] obviously they were very shaken by what
The couple had provided descriptions of the two main
offenders to police. One was Maori, of solid to fat build,
about 175cm tall, with black hair and a goatee, wearing a
black and white T-shirt.
The second offender was described as European, also of solid
to fat build, about 178cm tall with short blond hair, wearing
a green hooded sweatshirt with white writing on it and a
green cap.

Star Wars Battlefront 3 footage leaked?
Kotaku's got hold of what it says is some leaked footage of Free Radical's Star Wars Battlefront 3.
The footage was apparently taken from an internal alpha meeting with Free Radical back in November.
Free Radical Design was put up for sale last year and subsequently cut its workforce from 140 to 40 in a bid to keep its head above water.

A Greffier is the clerk to a legislature or a court in some countries where French is, or used to be, the language of the legal system.[1]
The word Greffe refers to the records kept by the Greffier or the department of government under the Greffier's management.[2]
In Guernsey, Her Majesty's Greffier is responsible for the records of the Island's government,[3] in particular those of the States of Deliberation and the courts.
Since 1931, there have been two Greffiers in Jersey.[4]
The Judicial Greffier is the clerk or Registrar of the Royal Court and the other courts of the Island.[5] The Greffier also carries out some of the administrative functions of the Royal Court, for example registering doctors.[6] Currently the role of Judicial Greffier and the role of Viscount (executive officer of the Royal Court) is held jointly by one person.[7]
The Greffier of the States is the clerk and record-keeper for the States Assembly.[4][8] Propositions presented to the States are described as "lodged au Greffe".[9]
The greffiers are responsible for the records of the courts.[10] A judicial document is not valid without a greffier's signature. They also have some responsibilities for evidence.

Axion Power Concentrator 181, Nov. 29: Latest News 252 commentsNov 29, 2012 2:43 PM | about stocks: AXPW
Latest News...
RoseWater Energy Group congratulates Axion Power International for their upcoming over the road test of the Axion PbC battery in theePower Engine Systems hybrid power train for tractor-trailers. If you come late, go to news for November 2012.
On 11/18 John Petersen published "Axion Power - A Battery Manufacturer Charging Forward" on Altenergystocks.com. It was also, unusually, published by SA. It's an excellent summation of Axion Power International's past trials, tribulations, successes and prospects going forward. Highly recommended, especially if you are new to Axion's story.
Axion filed their third quarter report with a news item on their web site that summarizes management's comments and provides a link to the conference call (available for 90 days and worth hearing). On 11/15/2012 Seeking Alpha published a transcript of the conference call.
Axion's SAE 10/2/2012 Truck APU Application power-point presentation. We see even more cycles applied to the (apparently modified?) PbC # 2 in their testing, showing even greater capability.
RoseWater joins Queen's University on Energy Storage Study "... to conduct a study to evaluate the impact of a widely-distributed energy storage system backed by RoseWater's Residential Energy Storage Hub on an electrical grid". "... The results of the study, which is already underway, will greatly benefit all companies and individuals involved in energy supply, distribution and consumption, including policy makers, regulators, electric utilities, and storage systems manufacturers".
John Petersen presented at the 13th European LeadBattery Conference,ELBC. Here is a copy of a SlideRocket Version of his presentation. He has also posted a brief instablog that identifies slides with informationand datahe'd not seen before and considers important in Axion'spresentation,"Axion PbC Lead-Carbon Hybrid Battery/Supercapacitor,OperationalStability of PbC Batteries and Battery Systems", to which he has provided a link.
His presentation is not focused on Axion, but presents some opportunities and challenges facing the LA battery industry at-large.

OR, I remember watching a program on the tube one time concerning some Wall Street traders. They indicated they traded early in the am and then went to play tennis or something else only returning at the end of the day to conclude their activity. Indicated there was not enough volume all day to support their efforts.
Could it be, I am the first to deliver cool news? Axion's new website. Very nice so far...I love the green grass covered car.
Nice find!
Things I noticed, may be only related to me...FWIW.
First, I like the first paragraph. Simple and effective. Is the East Penn relationship a formal announcement or something more? I know Axion tested both JCI and East Penn at their facility but is this new? Strategic partner...
mrholty---the website is a work in progress. So far, best I can tell (and I've looked at their previous website many times), it's just an appearance change. The only section that's changed substance that I can tell is they have the Q2 2012 conf call transcript back up.
I like the larger layout and better navigation, but I have to say, I preferred the old color scheme, which to my eye was more attractive, solid, and...dignified. Just had more gravitas somehow. I just don't like all the white space and faddish colors. Something not quite right in that combination. And there seems to be a slight lack of polish too in the fonts, photos, graphics resolutions etc.. But I applaud more content and better organization. Hopefully, the point revision will square it all up...
I like the site, really no point in critiquing it, it is an updated website. I think it is funny we will have many web developers aka axion stockholders begin giving their two cents though. It is cool because no other public company has such a concentrated peanut gallery, goes to show this is a unique place.
Made me happy just to see anything happening on the website. I'd say it's a good start, but I agree with many of the comments others have made.
re: Trucks
"IMO, they have too small an engine for OTR truck carrying 80,000 lb. payload. I have quite a bit of experience with tractors, and some road tractors and there is no substitute for horsepower."
One thing at a time LT. At this point ePower is taking a methodical approach to sizing their components for maximum fuel economy. That is the compelling issue for their core customer base — fleet operators who run fixed routes day in and day out. I'm certain that more powerful engines and motors are under consideration, but upgrading from four to six cylinders eats into economy.
Torque (especially when breaking loose large loads from a standing start) is a key factor, and particularly for working trucks. Truck IC engines routinely have relatively modest hp ratings (for their displacement) but outsized torque output. This is also one of the reasons for the close attention paid to designing gear ratios...

Right now, in Qatar, the world is trying to (re)negotiate a global climate treaty:
How is that any different from telling people in early 2000s, when CARB's ZEV was reversed, that the following unicorn will exist in about 10 years time:

- comparable in price with Panamera and M5 which it beats in performance
- built in California, aluminum body
- free "fuel" for life for long trips
- Li-ion battery with 8 year warranty, replaceable at the end of life for $8000 to $12000
- first EV MT COTY + unanimity
- 25% GM (in 2013)
"Good luck with controlling that global warming thing if it's CO2."
"The atmospheric greenhouse effect, an idea that many authors trace back to the traditional works of Fourier (1824), Tyndall (1861), and Arrhenius (1896), and which is still supported in global climatology, essentially describes a fictitious mechanism, in which a planetary atmosphere acts as a heat pump driven by an environment that is radiatively interacting with but radiatively equilibrated to the atmospheric system. According to the second law of thermodynamics such a planetary machine can never exist. Nevertheless, in almost all texts of global climatology and in a widespread secondary literature it is taken for granted that such mechanism is real and stands on a firm scientific foundation. In this paper the popular conjecture is analyzed and the underlying physical principles are clarified. By showing that (a) there are no common physical laws between the warming phenomenon in glass houses and the fictitious atmospheric greenhouse effects, (b) there are no calculations to determine an average surface temperature of a planet, (c) the frequently mentioned difference of 33C is a meaningless number calculated wrongly, (d) the formulas of cavity radiation are used inappropriately, (e) the assumption of a radiative balance is unphysical, (f) thermal conductivity and friction must not be set to zero, the atmospheric greenhouse conjecture is falsified."

Grant funding is expected to be available to Axion Power by late June of this year and Phase I will conclude 10 months from that date. According to DOE documents, Phase II awards will be granted to approximately 50% of Phase I awardees and will conclude in 12-15 months. Phase III will follow shortly thereafter."
The "chase car" usually could not keep up with the bikes in any sort of traffic, unless we were making an effort to stay together or had pre-planned to reach a specific destination. We generally tried to avoid traffic and find the scenic roads, rather than staying on motorways. We were not trying to set a fast pace, so the car could usually keep up on the back roads. We kept in touch with cheap "candy bar" phones we bought for use while there.
Best definition I've seen on how Mazda's i-ELOOP system functions.
I can see how the i-ELOOP might work but I sure as heck can't see how it can be cheap. The Maxwell-Continental system uses 2400 farads of capacitors that cost $48 to provide 10% of the energy load for an engine off event. By the time you make a big supercapacitor pack and add in the cost of a DC/DC converter it seems like a very costly way to go.
I think the i-ELOOP system has an opposite weakness vs LAB's. If you are in a situation where you are starting and stopping frequently you might not be able to store all the energy you are capable of harvesting due to limited energy storage capacity.
I also don't understand how the system can work without a basic lead-acid starter battery. Supercapacitors are way fast and cycle to beat the band, but their self-discharge rates are atrocious. Without a battery I don't see how you start your car on Monday after a weekend lounging around the house.
>JP ... Mazda seems to be using a single battery system. I didn't read this passage " ... i-ELOOP avoids the need for a dedicated electrical motor and battery, making the system more efficient, compact, and lighter than traditional systems." as having NO battery. Just not a starter LAB. It would not be difficult to drop the capacitors out of the circuit when the car is "keyed" off, thus saving the battery. When operation continues the caps could be recharged in several different ways quickly from the battery, the alternator or braking system.
Here's a picture of the "supercabattery".
I'm sensing there is a LAB involved.
Yeah, Click on the picture on the right.
"The i-ELOOP system is combined with engine start-stop functions—although Mazda didn't verify this aspect at the conference or in the coordinated release."

"There are several of who believe that East Penn is the buyer under the flooded lead-acid battery contract, but they've always been more than a little PR shy. While some sort of event is always possible, it's not high on my probability list."
East Penn has been a wonderful partner for years and the relationship between the two companies is maturing beautifully. While I believe a major partnership with East Penn is all but certain, I've watched the current relationship develop and I'd feel very uncomfortable putting an arbitrary three-month fuse on the next steps.
Next trillion dollar industry? 3D printing a car?
I've seen a few of these headline grabbers in the past. It could make it even easier than walking out on the street with 300 USD in any large American city!
Yep. Just imagine if all that ingenuity/resources were funneled into positive efforts.
There's waaaay cool lots and lots written regarding 3D printing, which I've been reading about for some time. But I hadn't before today caught that a car has been knocked out.
Not as destructive as raising 50 million at 20 cents a share. Black powder has been around for say... many years. Anything else would be survival of the dumbest. So lets be conservative with say 20 million and hoping for 15 million at 20 cents a share. I'd say the 3-d plastic toys are rather trivial; though they already sell them in walmart (a mute point outside political theatrics). I wonder if John Wayne had a permit?

Let's be glad they got their load of processed coconut shell in. Another example of why large scale manufacturing like to localize supply chains.
I would like to add some "color" as to why I felt the new website needed a lot of work. When I first viewed the site it was on a 1980x1080 High def screen. The site looks terribly undersized with a huge expanse of emptiness on either side. The ribbon at the top does not stretch across the full screen. It looked to me like a site still under development.
My comment about the grey text not changing color on mouseover is not true. It lights up as a blue "link" in the text at the bottom. If anyone developing the site is reading this post it would help if clicking on the large logo would take you back to "Home" versus hunting for the tiny "home" link.
Bang, Thanks. I was hoping you'd chime in and I'm glad you added the follow on posts to clarify your perspective. Yes, I'd be more in the camp of focusing on how tabs are layered for ease of finding information and also not to much clutter with good contrast for clarity. But we all have our perspectives and surely marketing is more your gig than mine.
It's a collaborative effort and I am sure the extra set of eyes on technical issues helps those working on it flesh out problems. I just know what it is like working on aesthetic presentations and three hundred eyes become art critics. It is a cool, unique dynamic us stockholders on the APC have developed with Axion.
We covered the website discussion nicely a few months ago. My take remains that it has little value to anything important other than 1) you gotta at least have one in today's world or you're looked at strangely, and 2) it may every now and then help a retail investor decide to buy another share or two.
Back in my early days of proposal writing I had a boss who told me if it isn't a positive it was therefore a negative. He was referring to written words. Same for websites. Boss comes in a room tells subordinate he just got off the phone with Axion. Subordinate goes to website and looks it over so he isn't stupid. Subordinate can only form opinion from website since he wasn't in on the phone call. Sites are your "public" face. They need to be attractive as possible.
IMO, a professional and captivating website is essential to success. Almost as essential as having a product to market.
I will say that the timing of putting up this new website is prob not a coincidence, for a company that's on the ball and has very limited resources like Axion. Got some news announcements coming, so more eyes will be on the company. A little painting here, a little polishing there...
"How good can there batteries be?" --
I am not sure if that statement was a joke or not but the two things have absolutely zero to do with each other. Ener1 and A123 had stupendously schnazzy websites and in the end that is about all their stockholders are left with they were a great hype game while they lasted. The website means just a hair above zilch to any significant investor and absolute zilch to BMW, NS, gm etc.
First impressions are important to me as a new investor. Their web presence should be a guided tour for new potential investors or customers. The more I learn about the company the less important the web presence (other than a resource library). A change in design and content is a very good thing. My hope is the developers are still very active in the project and aggressively seeking feedback. My other hope is that they have a maintenance contract...

As someone who is able to build simple to medium websites, I think Axion's new site is just fine and already a large improvement. It now looks like a modern site rather than one from the 90's. It promoted the right info and included all the potential apps the PbC has. There are some minor tweaks to be done but as long as they are done in a reasonable time, I see no harm for the developer to put the site live to make sure the bulk of the site is working.
jakurtz---lmao! A bit scary that an AXPW investor would not at all understand how Axion should and does market itself, at least to prospective customers. A passive approach will get them nothing, as they know. An active approach is the only way to go. Vani was not hired so he could sit in the back office and work on the website, lol. It's all about contacts, connections, introductions, in-person presentations, making a lot of phone calls, etc., etc., etc. They don't sell books or t-shirts to individuals, they sell a new, little-known (of course we hope that changes over time) specialty product to other businesses. Pound the phone and pound the pavement, baby.
I think we can all agree that everything the company does, everything with any visibility at all, should be of high-quality and connote seriousness, maturity, attention to detail, and staying power. These are not trinkets or batteries for toys, these are heavy-weight industrial products that will be relied upon to perform without flaw in arduous real-world conditions. Every facet of the company's interface with potential and current customers, investors, and the public at large should reinforce the sense that Axion is a company that will deliver.
The least they could have done is get all the top-level links working properly before going live with their new site.
Pretty funny really; since I just spent less than a thousand on a website that is far nicer and has actual working buttons (India Designed). To include two servers; one being U.S. and the other being Swiss (2 years). If I did not know better; and I don't... there isn't enough info worth posting (at this time).
Personally, I tend to think a PowerCube sale, 15 - 20 residential HUB orders, a PR announcing strong performance of a Hybrid, PbC populated Class 8 truck in commercial service, delivery of multiple truck APUs, or delivery of PbC batteries for the NS999 together with disclosure of another RR battery order from another RR or from NSC could resolve financing uncertainties pretty quickly. Occurrence of any two of the above could prompt breathtaking AXPW price action and transaction volume IMO.
How battery start-ups are trying to survive in tough times:
The DOE announced another $120 million commitment to advanced batteries today in the form of Energy Storage Hubs that will focus on advancing next generation battery and energy storage technologies for electric and hybrid cars and the electricity grid.
I have often had to explain why I felt that the Apollo missions were one of the great tragedies of our time. For the moony generation, aka the baby-boomers, possibly the most powerful generation that America will ever have, after Apollo every problem had a government solution. They taught their children and mine this nonsense, always pointing to the moon for legitimacy.
Since then each President/Congress has felt the need to spend incredible amounts of the people's earnings on predictions of the future or attempts to redirect it.
All resulting in an inexorable and continuing loss of personal economic rights - and what other right is more important?
RE: ""only point is the cash burn and expiry - our main obstacle to moving to brighter days...""
It was real---NITE had 5k bid at prices creeping up in the low .29's. ATDF did not move off it's .2949 best offer. Eventually NITE's 5k was traded at .2949. Nice day for a slow day.
I bought late in the day at .2949. Apparently, there were no sellers (this time) who wanted to sell me their shares at any price other than the ASK. I patiently waited and waited at price points between .29 and, yes, even .2948! No dice... no willing sellers this time. So I hit the ASK for a measly 5k.

D-inv, no problemo (a correction: ATDF is usually at .xxx9). Funny how even looking at AXPW's Level II almost every day for 9 months, it's really hard for me to tell what the heck is REALLY going on. I see ATDF as the most active MM on the offer for the last couple months, then NITE here and there, then UBSS in occassional big chunks, then a big dropoff, but since I don't have access to Time & Sales by MM, I can't always tell who actually is doing the selling. Yesterday had a good example---a > 50k share chunk traded without a corresponding bid or offer. So, who sold it and who bought it? Can't tell.
OR---"I bring this up, since everytime I move the BID around... somebody cries manipulation." Lol, how true. I've moved my bid around, too, and I suspect plenty of others here have, three. Do what you think is in YOUR best interests, and ignore the ignorant.
Jim Bolch, CEO of Exide, was interviewed by Fox news discussing economical viability of green energy among other things. http://bit.ly/11cJ4a3
Varney clearly didn't prepare adequately for the interview though I think the CEO made some good points about the economics (it may work on a South Pacific atoll but won't work where there are other more economic sources). The $2 million to Exide is part of a NZ$ 7 million grant for the PV/battery system. For 1400 islanders that works out to $5000 per person for 24/7 electricity compared to the 16 hours/day provided by diesel at a cost of $500/barrel totaling $1 million/year.
They were probably part of this cabinet meeting in the Maldives.
"Arrival Date 2012-11-21"
Tried a few internet searches and stumbled across http://bit.ly/YzF8Ax? which presents voyage schedules from Kobe, Jp to LA. There is a pretty wide range of transit times to choose from. In days, the choices were 13, 14, 25, 39, 44, 47, and 48. Indicators point to placement of that 360 ctn activated carbon order a minimum of one week prior to the Q3 cc and likely a week or two earlier than that.
Delivery of 3 orders for 4MT activated carbon per rough estimates discussed in APC171 and earlier suggest sufficient carbon supply for production of enough C electrodes to make 14,400 to 24,000 PbC batteries. Allowing $100K for quarterly sales of TurboStart products (classic & racing car batteries) would leave PbC revenues of $560K in Q2 and $183K in Q3. Considering those earlier qtr PbC sales volumes, set aside of NSC purchase order batteries, and the 52 PbCs delivered in November to the hybrid truck OEM, carbon use for roughly 2,550 batteries can be accounted for. Uncommitted inventories of activated carbon and assembled C electrodes could be on hand for 11,850 - 21,450 PbC batteries.
iindelco--great catch, and I just checked earlier in the week!
metroneanderthal, contributorD-inv,
Was looking at your calculation and past concentrators and saw where John had projected about 1 Kilo of activated carbon per battery. So three orders of 3,990 kilos would be enough activated carbon for 15,960 batteries. Has the one kilo per battery estimate changed? Sorry if I missed that.
Thanks, JP. I missed the discussion in APC 171 and Bug's contribution:
BugEYE Comments (102)
Sorry the page is in Chinese but you can find that there are two lines starting with "ACTIVATED CARBON". The two lines then indicate axion power imported 94/CTN weighing 1079 KG (11.48 kg/ctn) and 72/CTN 822KG (11.42 kg/ctn) activated carbon in the first half of 2010. If the foregoing information is accurate and KURARAY and AXPW stick to that package, all I can infer is 360 cartons weigh a little more than 4 metric tons.

To keep it all in one APC, here's the link from Metro in APC-161 to the prior 2 orders, so all 3 shipments were for 360 cartons each. http://bit.ly/PlsoKJ
metroneanderthal, contributorbobhaeger,
Yes, I signed up to get the bill of lading and found where 360 cartons is 3,990 kilos. The sign up is free and instantaneous. They aren't as up to date as the iindelco/maya link, but have weight and making the assumption the 360 cartons weigh the same in September and November.
Just a fyi - Long Beach port strike in its 4th day (since Nov 27).
" I signed up to get the bill of lading and found where 360 cartons is 3,990 kilos."
1,210 - 2nd quarter non-toll contract revs.
24 - First HUB supplied to Rosewater
30 - NSC contract amendment mentioned in Q3 CC
395 - 3rd quarter non-toll contract revs.
52 - 4th quarter shipment to hybrid truck OEM
2,575 - Total
sufficient for 23,550 - 23,750 PbC batteries.
Mr. I, With the Horsepower Axion has in R&D I'd bet and hope development for higher power/energy choices and cost reduction continues to be an ongoing effort. Very important.
Perhaps I missed something while on vacation. It seems everyone is calculating revenues from finished PbC batteries based on the carbon shipments received.
With R&D costs running $1.2 million per quarter there's no question that work to improve performance and refine manufacturing methods is a high priority.
iindelco---absolutely. What I am getting at is what is the net number of PbCs that could realistically be made and sold from the carbon in those three shipments from 5/2012 to 11/2012, starting with a gross number of about 23,500 (from D-inv's calc's above)?
Mr. I, You're thoughts are right on.
bobheager - "Hard to figure which number is right. Here's Tim's contribution from APC 171:"
Iindelco---resales to Brita? ;^P
SM, I think several of us are calculating POTENTIAL revenues, but the estimates will evolve. For instance, bids reponsive to RFPs have been mentioned in two CCs I believe. I doubt all bids will win contracts, but expect all bids submitted had performance deadlines of some kind. Let us hope TG & co. screened the RFPs effectively, bidding only on those with strong prospects of contract wins, and stipulated offer expiration dates.
Tim, I'm thinking sample bottle packaging could be a bit heavier than bulk packaging. Looking at a bulk packaging arrangement, might we see a pallet of heavy duty corrugated boxes full of vinyl bags filled with carbon? Would a pallet loaded 5w x 4d x 6h be likely? If so, a shipment of 360 ctn would consist of three pallets holding 120 ctn each for a total cargo weight of 1,330 kg or 2,932 lbs. (1.5 MT).
Bulk packaging in bags would defiantly be the way to ship the carbon unless the smaller bottles somehow made manufacturing easier. I would think you could scoop from a bag as easy as you could open and pour. Moisture or contamination might be another reason they might keep them bottled.
Trying to reconcile numbers from different sources, I find that weight of a standard 20' shipping container is 2.4 tonnes (Imperial) = 2.44 tonnes (metric). If minimum weight of a 20' container full of activated carbon is 9,000 kg and weight of the container itself is 2,440 kg, 6,560 kg are left for container contents. Assuming 3,990 kg for 360 cartons of activated carbon addresses weight of carton contents, a residual estimate for packaging/shipping material weight of 2,570 kg (~65% of contents) is implied.
While the exercise is interesting, I don't think we have enough data to use carbon purchases as a metric for estimating future sales. I know that my carbon content per battery calculations are in the ballpark but nowhere near precise. I'm far less confident with shipment weight estimates because the numbers vary widely and we don't know whether one or more shipments might have been rejected by Axion because of quality issues.
Since the bill of ladings are in the public domain do you think Axion would answer questions about how much carbon there is per shipment (and how many PbC can be made from said carbon)?
I'm not sure how much information Axion is going to want to let into the public domain. It's one thing to do rough volume substitution estimates and another entirely for Axion to release a detailed bill of materials and costs. Given all the things we don't know including possible returns, scrap rates and heaven knows what else, I'd be very reluctant to put much stock in our calculations. Since expectations are easy to create and hard to live down, I'd much rather leave that in Axion's hands.
buy a lead battery, weight it's various parts. remember that 1 mole of Pb is 207.2 grams, and one mole of C is 12 grams (ratio!). so how many parts lead per parts carbon (some guess work) and we've got the answer TG won't tell.
ok from internets i learn that 60% of the weight of a battery comes from lead. batteries weight 15-25lbs. normal battery chem:
Pb + SO42-D PbSO4 + 2e- (-0.365 V) (not in PbC)
I did my back of the napkin calculations using specific gravities for lead oxide (10 g/cc) and activated carbon (0.5 g/cc) and came up with a ratio in the 20 range. Then I found the weight for a Lifeline 30HT battery (96 pounds) and a 30HT PbC (73 pounds), calculated the weight difference and viola – roughly 1 pound of carbon to replace 20 pounds of lead. It's rough back of the napkin stuff, but close enough for government work and ballpark estimates.

Let me start my review by stating we always stay within the Marriott hotels chain, however we were in KC over the weekend and decided to try Embassy Suites for the weekend. it has been many years since we have stayed with them but we pre-paid our rooms ahead of time saved about 24.00. We checked into KCI and upon check in we asked front desk staff if we could transfer Sunday's reservation from Overland Park Embassy to the KCI location, young gal consulted with manager and it was communicated to us by manager that we would have to have our keys reprogrammed in the morning.No problem ....WRONG ! I realize when we checked in the young gal was trying to accommodate our request,however when we brought our keys down Sunday AM we were told otherwise. We were told very rudely that this could not be done,and they did not have our reservation transferred from one hotel to the other. I ended up speaking with central reservations to straighten out the confusion. KCI should have told us that transfer could not be done,we would have been fine with that answer but because employees don't have full knowledge of their positions it created frustration to us.Very rude front desk that's all we can say,I have been in customer service industry for many years ,we had probably the most rudest guest service ever(Peggy). Also both hotels need work (updating) but I do want to acknowledge Overland Park Embassy staff very friendly appreciated their kindness during our stay. Would not recommend KCI airport location.

::This New House:: Based on work by://Janel Holcomb//
Table of Contents
Essential question: "How can a home be designed to have minimal impact on the environment?"
For this project, titled "This New House", you will be learning about sustainable architecture, the practice of addressing ecological concerns in the design and construction of buildings. The reality today is that home construction, in particular is similar to home construction 50 years ago. Why are we so behind the times? The goal of Sustainable Architecture is to design and build attractive, comfortable, affordable shelter that does no harm to the environment in its manufacture or in its use (Trying to build houses while harming the earth as little as possible). With the new economic stimulus plan rewarding green building ventures, the nation is on the lookout for people who can step up and design sustainable buildings.
Objective:Design and advertise a home for a 4-person family living in the US using (around 3,000 sq. feet max) at least one Sustainable Architecture principle or Green Energy Source.
Major Components:The following assignments will be completed and you will present all to the class in whatever format you decide is most appropriate. For example, You may import your drawings etc. into PowerPoint and have a handout of some kind such as a brochure. On the other hand you might use Flash or Movie Maker to create a commercial and use your blog to make a website for your architectural design company, and upload your materials there as images or ".pdf" files. Don't feel overwhelmed. We'll learn about all of these tools.
- Research (tagged to your student Diigo account and our class Diigo group). (Fall of 2011 will use OneNote instead)
- Scale Floor Plan drawings (rendered in Google Sketchup or MS Visio)
- Student Choice 1:
- Promotional Materials
- Interior design Moodboards
- Landscape Design Plan
- Elevation Renderings in Sketchup
- Student Choice 2 (given time)
- Promotional Materials
- Interior design Moodboards
- Landscape Design Plan
- Elevation Renderings in Sketchup
- Pecha-Kucha presentation of project as endcap (last week of class)
Part 1: Research
Now you need to find out two important things: What green technology [ies] you want to use and what kind of house you want to build. Also, you need to make sure that your green technology choices work well with your home design of choice. For example, shipping containers don't make a good French Country style home.
To facilitate our research, we'll be using the following apps:
Ready to get started??Go visit the Research guide.
Part 2: Technical Drawing
General Points: Stuff I shouldn't have to say but will...
The Basics:
- Each architecture firm has 1/2 acre of land to build on. However, you decide on the shape of the land, orientation of the site, surrounding landscape, and location in the US.
- Each plan will have to incorporate a few design features in terms of landscape, construction, or components that are considered green.
Ready to get started??
Technical drawing in Visio
- Visio is a 2d technical drawing and diagramming program. Your result will look a lot like a standard house "blueprint", much like you'll find on many of the floorplan sites we'll look at. This application is part of the MS Office Suite, and therefore should be relatively easy to learn
|MS Visio
Technical Drawing in Sketchup
- Sketchup is a free 3d drawing application from Google that you can load on your computer at home if you wish.
|Google Sketchup
Check in on EdmodoSharing your plans with classmates as you work...
- Save / Export your plan as a jpeg.
- Share it in Edmodo
- Give a Positive comment and a Question to at least 1 other student.
Part 3 & 4: Student ChoiceNow, you have an opportunity to choose your own adventure.
More DrawingIf you're totally stoked by this technical drawing thing, keep going. Try to go above and beyond what you've done so far.
- Made a home plan in Visio? Why not try:
making a Landscape Design Plan.
making an elevation rendering in Sketchup (aka the outside of your house)
making a 3d drawing of one room in Sketchup
Something Completely DifferentMaybe you're painfully sick of technical drawing. You perhaps struggled with it or just didn't enjoy it. You could
design promotional materials for your house.
take a crack at interior design moodboards.
Part 5: Prepare Your Presentation.
Presentation Skills(NETS 6:a-d) The problem with 'PowerPoints' is that you have to listen to each one. That wouldn't be so bad if students didn't animate every bullet and write every word they intend to say as bullets. We'll explore several ways to create presentations that will eliminate the dreaded animated bullets.
- [15] You will create and deliver effective presentations, using Show & Tell techniques.
General Resources
Stuff you may need:
Images (Beyond clipart but better than Google):
- Olioboard (for moodboarding)
- Animoto (for making short videos with music, pics, & video clips)
- Aviary (online Graphics and Audio Editing suite)

Hilarious Things We Say To Kids, DisplayedMichelle Horton
We've all heard ourselves say them.
The ridiculous sentences that you never thought you'd hear — especially coming from your own mouth — yet here you are, half dressed, scrambling around the house saying things like, "Pick up your cowboys. And no the prince cannot swim in the toilet."
Well Nathan Ripperger, too, has heard himself sounding like a lunatic. So he turned them into posters:
Arm Licking, $15 1 of 10"That's what weird kids do." Ha!
Wet Sword, $15 – $32 2 of 10Believe it or not, I've said a similar sentence.
Stop Riding That Penguin, $15 – $32 3 of 10Insert any animal, and I'm sure you've said something similar.
Honey, $15 – $32 4 of 10To which the answer is "Yes."
No Underwear, $15 – $32 5 of 10A good rule, I think.
Snorkel, $15 – $32 6 of 10Naturally.
Church Fort, $15 – $32 7 of 10Ha!
Pull Toy, $15 – $32 8 of 10But isn't he, Dad?
Little Monsters, $15 9 of 10Cute for the bathroom!
Little Monsters Wash Their Hands, $15 10 of 10As is this one.

Bruce Boxleitner Says He's 'Done' With 'Tron' Franchise
Following Disney's abrupt cancellation of the planned sequel to "Tron: Legacy," franchise actor Bruce Boxleitner says he's moved on: "I don't really care anymore."
Following Disney's abrupt cancellation of the planned sequel to "Tron: Legacy," franchise actor Bruce Boxleitner says he's moved on: "I don't really care anymore."
More than 12,000 disappointed fans have signed a petition to prove to the studio "that Flynn lives."
Appearing at WonderCon Anaheim, director Joseph Kosinski discussed the development of his new sci-fi film Oblivion, working with star Tom Cruise, and preparing for Tron 3.
Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski says the end of the 2010 Disney film "sets a clear direction for what could happen in the next chapter."
Although there seemed to be little doubt, a new report confirms that Tron: Legacy star Garrett Hedlund will return for Disney's recently fast-tracked sequel.
Peter and the Starcatchers writer Jesse Wigutow is in talks with Disney to write the sequel to 2010's Tron: Legacy. Joseph Kosinksi is set to return as director.
Tron: Uprising producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis and director Charlie Bean discuss their new Disney XD animated series and how it fits into the Tron universe.
Veteran actors Bruce Boxleitner and Lance Henriksen talk about their roles in Disney XD's upcoming animated series Tron: Uprising, and reflect on their sci-fi careers.
Disney XD has released a new minute-long teaser for TRON: Uprising, the upcoming animated series that stars the voices of Elijah Wood, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Mandy Moore, Lance Henriksen and Bruce Boxleitner.
Disney XD has released a new teaser for Tron: Uprising, the upcoming animated series the bridges the gap between 1982's Tron and and 2010's Tron: Legacy.
So, John Carter has officially become labeled as a flop (despite reasonable reviews and a decent worldwide take), joining Tron Legacy and Prince of Persia on the list of failed attempts to kickstart action adventure franchises in recent years. Why can't Disney seem to get a foothold in the live-action male market?
Opening in the No. 2 spot with a relatively underwhelming weekend take, it seems as though the common wisdom on John Carter is going to be that it flopped and failed to connect with a mainstream audience. But part of me wonders whether that was the fault of John Carter, or something altogether bigger and more widespread?

Hundreds of people from the Taieri can credit their love and
appreciation of art to Beverley Kay.
During the 1970s and 1980s, she taught school pupils and
adults alike how to express their creative sides by sketching
and painting.
And now, more than two decades after she stopped teaching
art, her daughter, Cheryl Pearson, has taken up the mantle.
Ms Pearson said she had come from a career in primary school
teaching, but left her job in April last year when she began
to get frustrated that she wasn't getting time for her own
creative needs.
''I wanted to take a break and explore my own artistic
''I extended my art skill by getting private art lessons, and
then I was asked by a parent at my old school to do an art
Ms Pearson converted the upstairs part of her East Taieri
garage into an art teaching space, now known as The Cave Art
While Mrs Kay had classes of up to 40 children at once, Ms
Pearson said she started conservatively with five, and her
classes were building with time.
She spent much of the summer holidays providing an art
programme for children in Mosgiel.
Looking back on her life, Ms Pearson conceded it was
inevitable she would end up teaching art.
She grew up surrounded by art, and her mother taught her many
of the tricks of the trade.
''It was something I always had access to - all the art
''And I was quite good at it. You don't realise your ability
sometimes until you look back.
''Teaching art was never a career aspiration for me, but it
was inevitable I would end up here.''
She said leaving her primary school teaching job was probably
the best thing she could have done for herself and her
''It's wonderful. I'm enjoying it immensely.''

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia University police say running back Wendell Smallwood has been arrested on a warrant out of Delaware.
Chief Bob Roberts said Tuesday that police in Wilmington, Delaware, contacted WVU police with a warrant for Smallwood's arrest on a witness tampering charge. Roberts says a fugitive-from-justice warrant was issued for Smallwood's arrest Monday.
Wilmington police Cpl. Mark Ivey says Smallwood is charged with trying to get a witness to recant statements that implicated a friend of Smallwood's in a 2012 fatal shooting in Wilmington.
The 20-year-old Wilmington resident is being held in the North Central Regional Jail pending extradition. Jail records didn't indicate whether Smallwood has a lawyer.
WVU coach Dana Holgorsen says he's aware of the arrest. Smallwood rushed for 221 yards last season as a freshman.

Jody Shane Moss pleaded guilty Thursday to the murder of
21-year-old Kristy Arlene Winkler, a co-worker at an Oxford Huddle
The 35-year-old Moss was sentenced to 20 years, the minimum
required for murder with a deadly weapon. But he was allowed to
serve 17 of those years outside prison under court supervision.
Investigators broke the case in 2005 after uncovering statements
Moss made indicating he was the murderer.
Winkler disappeared the night of Nov. 7, 1995, from a
convenience store in Oxford. Two deer hunters found her skeletal
remains a year later near a Jacksonville road.

CeBIT 2010: Plug Computer with Ubuntu
The Cirrus Plug 3.0 from Ionics with 2GHz ARM processor, WLAN b/g, Bluetooth, and internal 120GB hard disk is about the size of a Coke can. The device is displayed at CeBIT Hall 2.
On display at CeBIT is the mini-computer from Dr. Bott KG at Booth A20. Next to a simple Cirrus Plug from Ionics that also includes USB 2.0, GBit Ethernet, and a 1.8" SATA hard drive, Dr. Bott also demonstrates a mail server appliance on a Cirrus Plus basis.
As with most Plug computers with ARM processors, the Cirrus comes with Linux.
According to Dr. Bott, the PMS mail server was ported in as little as two days from a VIA platform with BSD UNIX to a Cirrus Plug with Ubuntu Linux and can work even on first-generation SheevaPlugs. The Cirrus Plug from Ionics should sell for around US$ 400, with the first series of devices available not until Q3 2010. Ubuntu will be pre-installed. Further details are at http://www.plugcomputer.eu.

text: Description Suggest an Edit Two sections of the Whitehorse Trail, which runs along a former Burlington Northern rail line, are currently open for use. The eastern end of the trail spans nearly 7 miles between Darrington and the historic Old Fortson Mill. West of there, most of the rest of the planned trail to Arlington is officially closed due to trestles and bridges lacking decking and railings. In 2013, one such bridge was improved, and another trail segment is now open from the link with the paved Snohomish County Centennial Trail in Arlington to the former Cloverdale Farm site in Trafton. Frequently paralleling State Route 530 and the North Fork Stillaguamish River, the trail winds through a series of farm, forest and river environments, and contains several fishing access points and river bridge crossings. The route is very scenic with many views of the Cascade Mountains, especially Whitehorse Mountain, Mount Higgins, Prairie Mountain, and others. The trail surface is mostly unimproved, so mountain bikes are recommended. Trail users should look out for patches of loose rock. Additional sections of the Whitehorse Trail will open as funding is raised for decking and railing installation. As of Summer 2015, full completion of the 27-mile trail between Arlington and Darrington is tentatively scheduled for Fall 2016. Click to read more Parking and Trail Access The trail ends in Darrington with access at the junction of Railroad Avenue and Price Street. There is parking on Railroad Avenue near its junction with SR 530.

Re: duran v leonard greatness comparison.
Duran is Greater:
Leonared was great, but cherry picked. The only great fight I can think of was Hearns 1.
He lost his greatest fight to Duran, So that proves head to head Duran was the better fighter. He was also older and coming up in weight. Leonard was at peak.
His revenge against Duran. Cherry picked, he knew Duran balloneed up and had partied.
Hearns he would not rematch until FAR later and Hearns Beat him.
Duran went 15 with a younger and fresher Hagler, Very competitive fight. Leonard... waited.. waited and waited. And won a very controversal decision in Haglers last fight. ( he did not look great)
He did beat benitez, Duran could not. But Duran has Barkley as a great win. This is WELL past his prime and WELL past his weight fighting a champion far younger and stronger.
Leonard..... Nada.
Duran fought into his late 40's ..... And beat many contenders way past his best. Leonard did not age well.
Duran is a clear winner, But Leonard is not more than 15 places from him. GVreat fighters both. But Duran , Head to head, peak to peak , Lb for Lb is better, Fought much better past his weight class, and for much longer.

In a Hospital, Health Care Until the Clock Runs Out
July 25, 2016,
Stem cell procedures have proven to produce long-term survival and even cures in some patients with intermediate- and high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
Stem cell transplantation involves removing and replacing stem cells, which are produced in the bone marrow. Stem cells are the early forms for all blood cells in the body (including red, white, and immune cells). Cancer treatments harm growing cells as well as cancer cells, and so the healthy stem cells must be replaced by transplanting them from the donor into the patient.
Sources of Cells. Stem cells must first be collected in one of the following ways:
Some evidence suggests that both stem cell and bone marrow procedures produce similar benefits in terms of response rates and duration of remission. However, peripheral blood stem cell transplantation is easier to perform and is done more often than bone marrow transplantation. It also seems to be superior in terms of cost, quality of life, and the need for less supportive care.
Donor or Patient Cells. The marrow or blood stem cells can be taken from the patient (autologous) or from a matched donor (allogeneic):
The Blood Stem Cell Collection Procedure. With peripheral blood stem cell transplantation:
These procedures are typically used for patients with relapsed aggressive lymphoma who are still sensitive to the effects of chemotherapy. The procedures do not work for patients whose tumors are not responsive to drugs. Some evidence suggests that certain primary (non-relapsed) lymphomas initially unresponsive to a first round of chemotherapy but who respond to a second round may benefit from combination of high-dose chemotherapy and radiation followed by transplantation. Transplantation is also being investigated as first-line therapy for patients with aggressive lymphomas, although at this time evidence does not support its use.
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, mouth sores, and loss of appetite.
The procedures themselves are fairly dangerous and carry a small risk for death. When it was first used, transplantation procedures had 10 - 25% morality rates. Now mortality rates are below 5%.
Infection resulting from a weakened immune system is the most common side effect. Because the stem cell procedure is done more swiftly, the risk period is shorter than with bone marrow transplantation. The risk for infection is most critical during the first 6 weeks following the transplant, but it takes 6 - 12 months post-transplant for a patient's immune system to fully recover. Immune systems of patients with graft-versus-host disease can take even longer to function normally.
Many patients develop severe herpes zoster virus infections (shingles) or have a recurrence of herpes simplex virus infections (cold sores and genital herpes). Pneumonia, cytomegalovirus, aspergillus (a type of fungus), and Pneumocystis jirovecii (a fungus) are among the most important life-threatening infections.
It is very important that patients take precautions to avoid infections. Guidelines for post-transplant infection prevention include:
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a serious attack by the patient's immune system triggered by the donated new marrow in allogeneic transplants. Mild cases of GVHD can actually be helpful as they can cause graft-versus-lymphoma where the immune system kills remaining lymphoma cells. Still, severe GVHD can pose serious complications.
To reduce the risk for GVHD, doctors remove some immune T-cells from the donor's stem cells before the transplant. Researchers are investigating new techniques to refine this process of T-cell depletion.
Acute GVHD occurs in 30 - 50% of allogeneic transplants, usually within 25 days. Its severity ranges from very mild symptoms to a life-threatening condition (more often in older patients). The first sign of acute GVHD is a rash, which typically develops on the palms of hands and soles of feet and can then spread to the rest of the body. Other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhea, loss of appetite and jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes). To prevent acute GVHD, doctors give patients immune-suppressing drugs such as steroids, methotrexate, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, and monoclonal antibodies.
Chronic GVHD can develop 70 - 400 days after the allogeneic transplant. Initial symptoms include those of acute GVHD. Skin, eyes, and mouth can become dry and irritated, and mouth sores may develop. Chronic GVHD can also sometimes affect the esophagus, gastrointestinal tract and liver. Bacterial infections and chronic low-grade fever are common. Chronic GVHD is treated with similar medicines as acute GVHD.
Too much sun exposure can trigger GVHD. Be sure to always wear sunscreen (SPF 15 or higher) on areas of the skin that are exposed to the sun. Stay in the shade when you go outside.
Secondary cancers. There is a small long-term risk for leukemia after transplantation in young people. Use of newer chemotherapeutic drugs, however, may not pose as high a danger as older treatments.
Other potentially serious complications include:

Sean Hermanywrote a review of Metolius Freerider on May 7, 2014
Ultimate Cragging Pack
Familiarity: I've used it several times
My previous cragging pack was a 60L cilogear, that had been working just fine until my roommate's Marmot Retriever chewed through it for her bounty of a used Gu packet. C'est la vie.
Since it was late April and I needed a cragging pack more than a big alpine pack, I bought the Freerider.
This is without a doubt the best cragging pack there is. Simple design, but everything you need. Beefy, without question, without being too heavy. You won't break this thing throwing it around or scraping it up. The closures work just right, and it's easy to throw a rope under the lid if you're almost full (i.e. you have your share of an Indian Creek rack in the thing) since there's a strap to secure the rope.
The way it stands up on its own, and doesn't implode, makes it super easy to pack, and the lid provides pockets for cell phone, wallet, sunblock, etc.
The only reason I can think of not to buy this as a cragging pack is if you NEVER have more with you than a sport rack, jacket, and lunch.

This very afforadable extinguisher is a perfect size for my UTV. It has a very nice powdercoated chamber. I used the quick release Axia Alloys roll cage mount to install this on my vehicle and it is perfect. Why spend more on an expensive refillable extinguisher if you can get this one for less than what it costs for a refill
I hope I never have to use the extinguisher but there is peace of mind knowing that I have it in the car should it be needed for my protection or the protection of others.
