As part of my ongoing survey of all things related to sustainable design (or renewable energy or simply "green" ) I have started to take a look at wind energy. Almost immediately I was confronted with Betz' law which sets a limit on the efficiency of a wind turbine to about 59%. In other words, I won't be able to collect and convert the kinetic energy of the wind at a rate better than 59%. When … Read More

Is love for Facebook waning?
By Rachel Hawkes
Is Facebook now deemed to be too big? As a society we tend to get behind someone when they're on their way up. We want them to succeed, we love an underdog don't we? But... just don't get too big. We don't really like that. There's been three significant developments that suggest Facebook is losing favour, and not just with those of us who are immersed in digital.

5 Overall Excellentpe1ahtips | 18/09/2010 | See all pe1ahtips's reviews (2)I first ordered this game not knowing quite what to expect, but when I started playing it was nothing like the original first two games in the series. Sure the basic plot for each world, (game plot totally new btw), is roughly the same. The way you play it out is far different to methods seen in the past.The new battle system will have you rethinking how you play Kingdom Hearts because you have to be more rigorous with your choice of attacks as they are quite limited as to what you can use at one time. The AI finally has some sense with the enemies dodging various attacks, leading to a real battle instead of just a slaughter. Also I noticed enemies have weaknesses to certain elements, which only deepens the strategy aspect.The battle itself and the amount of options you have during battle will have you coming up with completely new strategies unheard of in Kingdom Hearts; which is a nice refresher.The average world is smaller then what has been expected out of the last two games, but this is only a minor problem as they are packed with adventure, enemies and the occasional mini game (which are quite enjoyable in themselves). New worlds, never before seen in KH is a lovely site bringing new characters and worlds into the mix.Birth by Sleep (although I have yet to complete it) has been a rollercoaster of a game and to top it all off, along the way this game may just answer some questions you've had about KH for several years since KH2.I believe this game fills in a bit more of the jigsaw puzzle of a plot that is Kingdom Hearts.It's a must buy for any KH fan but to all those who have yet to experience the epic Kingdom Hearts series I highly recommend playing the first two games in the series first, just so your brought up to speed on the whole concept.
5 AmazingDarkJon | 14/09/2010 | See all DarkJon's reviews (1)I thought I would of been upset playing a Kingdom Hearts game with out Sora and the gang but hey I was wrong. In the game you have 3 different main quests for the 3 Keyblade masters which each have their own individual story, the game has the best combat system in the series with it being complex but smart and easy to use. The story is also cool as you uncover the origins the series. I must buy for any fan of Kingdom Hearts.
4 Keep it up 'Disneyix!'Kyrielite | 28/10/2010 | See all Kyrielite's reviews (3)I was always fond of the Kingdom Hearts games series (despite unfortunately not having the chance to play them all as I only own a PS2 and PSP). I was never too keen of the main Square Enix storyline being mixed with that of Disney's (having Goofy and Donald on my team in the first games was never much of a thrill) but despite my tendency to believe that aspect of the games is present to target a younger audience, Square does accomplish Disney's 'magic' quite well, incorporating it with the main storyline without it seeming too forced. BBS may be intended as a prequel to the main story we're so familiar with but it doesn't fail to portray a feeling of 'continuity' for the series in whole, despite the lack of very familiar characters such as Sora. I'm still in the beginning of the game but what I've seen so far looks improved and I'm glad the annoying space ship shooter mini-game has been replaced with an odd version of Monopoly, equally amusing without getting annoying.
3 AverageWilsonInacio | 12/02/2012 | See all WilsonInacio's reviews (10)I loved Kingdom hearts I and II, and this one has it all for me to enjoy, but I don't know why, It just didn't feel the same.... maybe it's because you have to go through the game 3 times, one for each character, but i got bored of this game really fast.... never ended the second character.... but the graphics, combat and menus are well designed.....Maybe I just miss the old characters XD

Laser therapy is a treatment that uses a strong beam of light to cut, burn, or destroy tissue. The term LASER stands for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation."
The laser light beam comes from safe sources so that it poses no health risks to the patient or medical team.
Lasers can be used for many medical purposes. Because the laser beam is so small and precise, it allows doctors to safely treat tissue without injuring the surrounding area.
Lasers are often used during these procedures:

Clinical/Scientific Implications
This study, though small, demonstrates a clear OS and PFS advantage in favor of trimodality treatment versus surgery alone for patients with resectable esophageal cancer. Though it possesses little power, this is essentially irrelevant, as statistical significance was demonstrated for the survival endpoints.
It should be noted that the pattern of failure data is incomplete, and those results are invalid from which to draw conclusions. Ultimately, trimodality therapy should be considered the clear standard of care in treatment of patients with resectable esophageal cancer.
Feb 28, 2012 - For patients with advanced esophageal cancer, use of an individualized, multimodal approach with palliative intention achieves an acceptable mean survival time, with initial use of photodynamic therapy offering significantly longer median survival compared to other modalities, according to the results of a single medical center study published online Feb. 14 in Lasers in Surgery and Medicine.

Instead of saying "I love you" to sign off from emails, local actor Jay Lusteck and his wife, Shevan used to write "pins" and "saltpeter."
They later had those words inscribed on their wedding bands.
The words "pins" and "saltpeter" come from the historic snail-mail exchange between John and Abigail Adams; John was in need of saltpeter, and Abigail of straight pins. They vowed to help each other fulfill their needs, and the characters from the Tony-Award winning musical "1776" sing about it in "Yours, Yours, Yours."
It's a detail that garners "awws" from Lusteck's fellow local castmates, Cliff Roles and Don Walker. The three actors auditioned for the Asolo Repertory's production of "1776" together on the same day, and each was cast. They are the only local actors among the cast of 20.
"We have chemistry," Roles says of the trio.
It's true — they finish each other's sentences and are constantly laughing — it's clear they have a lot of fun together. And, if it's any indication of what can be expected on stage from the cast, it's going to be a good performance.
Roles, Walker and Lusteck became well-versed in the history behind each role.
Each actor was required to research their character, then teach his fellow castmates the delegate's history. The cast explored "The American Character" — the theme of the Asolo Rep's season.
"It's a very interesting piece now, because, suddenly, we are able to breathe a truer life into these people we are embodying," says Lusteck.
Forty-five-year-old Lusteck plays Richard Henry Lee, the most prominent role of the trio. He is the only professional actor of the three men and has 20 years of experience, including three national tours, Broadway and off-Broadway productions. And having grown up in Jackson, Miss., "surrounded by the best of rednecks," he's got the Southern cockiness the script calls for of his character down pat.
"I'm a good mimic," he says, "So, I'm channeling my inner 'Jimbo.'"
Roles is a good mimic, too — for a turncoat. The 59-year-old is originally from Croydon, London; but after 11 years of living in the States, Roles has perfected his American accent for his "lovely little role" as Lewis Morris.
Roles auditioned and was cast in The Players' "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" in 2004. It was his first time acting, and he's been doing it ever since. Roles met Walker in that production.
Sixty-nine-year-old Walker embodies the character he plays with his delegate-like, peppered, curly shoulder-length hair. He majored in theater in college but opted not to pursue it professionally. When he moved 22 years ago to Sarasota, he realized the ample opportunity for thespians. He was cast as a lead at Venice Theatre, where he fell in love with his leading lady and now wife, Jenny. The couple was doing a lot of acting for Golden Apple Dinner Theatre, when, in 2010, someone suggested he audition for a Frank Galati-directed production at the Asolo. He was cast in "12 Angry Men."
Walker says when he heard about "1776," he sent Galati an email saying, "I'd love to be a delegate in your Congress." Galatie sent a note back saying, 'I'll keep you in mind.'" Walker was cast as delegate Dr. Lyman Hall.
All three men have previously acted in a Galati production. The conversation keeps circling back to how great they think the Tony-winning director is.
"We have a director who sits there in front of us and cries at it," Roles said. "He's moved, he laughs, he reacts to everything we do. I've never known a man like him."
The other men nod their heads in agreement.
Straying from most musical productions, there's no final musical number in "1776." Instead, it ends with a historical moment — 20 squabbling delegates with opposing viewpoints uniting to sign the Declaration of Independence. It's represents a poignant and emotional scene for any patriot.
"It's hard not to sound over-enthusiastic about this show," Walker says. "The show itself, the book, the music — is so moving."

So it's either that or they abolish fighting altogether, which is what mainstream media types who don't follow the game shout to the high hills anytime someone sustains a serious injury in a fight. I'm not surprised, nor do I blame them for doing this.
The thing is that, with this rule in place, it will indirectly act as a major fighting deterrant, but the effect will be gradual ratther than immediate. Imagine 20 years from now when there are no visorless players left and everyone in the league has grown up wearing a visor and being subject to this rule. There will be hardly any fights at all.

Dergah Park and Mosque Complex
City Center
Sanliurfa, Turkey
Submitted by: Josh Lerner
An expanse of mosques, rose gardens, pools of sacred carp, tea gardens, and people.
Why It Works
Sanliurfa is a city of contradictions. Beneath the relatively modern, commercial center lies the bazaar district, a mass of market alleys and paths spilling out in all directions, with local merchants hawking anything and everything. Immediately adjacent to these two areas is yet another extreme - Dergah. One of the most visited pilgrimage areas of Turkey, the Dergah district is a complex of mosques and gardens centered around the birth cave of the Prophet Abraham and the pool of sacred carp. The beautifully landscaped gardens are the most popular place in the city - a perfect respite from the chaos of the bazaar and the bustle of the downtown. Dergah creates a strong identity for the city and is a huge tourist draw, but more importantly, it enhances the surrounding neighborhoods and serves a valuable role in the everyday lives of residents.
What Makes Dergah Park and Mosque Complex a Great Place?
Most traffic in Sanliurfa is pedestrian, and Dergah is in the center of the highly walkable city core. There are bus linkages to outlying areas, although the city's road and transit system is not highly developed.
As a sacred pilgrimage area, Dergah is kept immaculately clean and treated with great respect by visitors. The area is beautifully laid out, and the rose gardens, traditional architecture, and abundance of people create a very welcoming atmosphere.
Besides being a destination for pilgrims, the area is also a gathering place for the city. Local workers take tea breaks in the tea gardens, children play by the sacred pool, students study at the adjacent religious schools, and everyone visits the mosques. The only formal tourist activities are at Abraham's birth cave and a small Islamic religion center, although local students have also made a pastime of practicing their English with visiting tourists.
Dergah is the pride of Sanliurfa, and with good reason. It is the social center of the city and is teeming, but not overcrowded, with people. Like the rest of the city center, Dergah is open to and utilized by people of all sorts Kurds and Turks, locals and visitors, young and old.

Williams saying the owners should shut the game down before caving to a player wanting $30M a year.
"For the game's health as a whole, when we're talking about 30 million dollar players, I think it's asinine," Williams said in an interview with Comcast SportsNet. "We have gotten to the point of no return. Something has to happen. And if it means the game being shut down for the sake of bringing sanity to it, to franchises that aren't going to stop the insanity, I'm all for it."
I thought this was America.

The San Francisco Bay Area launch of
The Economics of Happiness
A new film featuring acclaimed environmentalists, scholars and authors including, Vandana Shiva, Bill McKibben, David Korten, Juliet Schor, Richard Heinberg, accomplished Bhutanese film director Khyentse Norbu, and the first Prime Minister of the Tibetan Government-in-Exile Samdhong Rinpoche among others.
David Brower Center (Goldman Theater)
2150 Allston Way, Berkeley, CA 94704
Thursday, January 13th
6:30pm – 10:00pm
Screening of this 1 hour documentary about the worldwide movement for economic localization, will take place in Berkeley, California, at the David Brower Center, on Thursday, January 13, 2011. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with special guests. This event is free and open to the public (donations greatly appreciated).
The Economics of Happiness demonstrates that millions of people are already engaged in building a better world. The film shows that countless small scale initiatives around the world are exploring potential solutions to the multiple crises we face—climate chaos, economic meltdown, and our own personal suffering such as stress, loneliness, and depression. These initiatives are united around a common cause: rebuilding more democratic, human scale, ecological and local economies – the foundation of an "economics of happiness".
Some of the local efforts profiled in the film range from urban gardens in Detroit, Michigan, the Transition Town movement in England, hands-on education in Japan, ecological development in Ladakh, cultural preservation in Peru, and much more.
The San Francisco Bay Area launch of The Economics of Happiness will highlight local examples of a global movement of community-based initiatives dedicated to addressing the multiple crises we face. Partner organizations from the Bay Area will be profiled at the event.
The film will be followed by a panel discussion with co-director Helena Norberg-Hodge, author Richard Heinberg, and representatives from Bay Localize and the Sustainable Economies Law Center.
Co-sponsored by the Post Carbon Institute, Bay Localize, Sustainable Economies Law Center, Bay Area Community Exchange, Shareable.net, Other Worlds, Transition Albany, and others to be confirmed.
The Economics of Happiness is produced by Helena Norberg-Hodge, and written and directed by Helena Norberg-Hodge, Steven Gorelick and John Page. Producer Helena Norberg-Hodge is the founder and director of the International Society for Ecology and Culture (ISEC) and its predecessor, the Ladakh Project. She is a co-founder of the Ladakh Ecological Development Group which was awarded the Right Livelihood Award, aka, the "Alternative Nobel Prize," in 1986. She is also a co-founder of the International Forum on Globalization. Norberg-Hodge is the author of Ancient Futures: Learning from Ladakh, the basis for the 1993 award-winning documentary film of the same name produced by John Page.

Rivermen rookie goaltender Ben Bishop was unavailable Saturday because he has a leg injury, the severity of which the team does not yet know. He faces some medical tests.
BISHOP IN CHECK? Rivermen rookie goaltender Ben Bishop has had health questions late in the season in the past.
He suffered a groin strain at University of Maine in 2006-07 that plagued him down the stretch. Last summer, he had surgery on his knee to repair torn a meniscus.
He's day-to-day now for the Rivermen with an undisclosed leg injury, which is a shame, because Peoria fans were excited about him and, just as importantly, so were Rivermen players.
Bishop has given the team a 2.38 goals-against and .908 saves percentage in five outings, good numbers stepping right out of college.
If Bishop's injury keeps him from playing, it puts Marek Schwarz in the Peoria net this week, and he's been inconsistent.
St. Louis could also send down goalie Hannu Toivonen - he's on Peoria's Clear Day Roster list - when the NHL season ends Saturday.
While his body might be needed, his .864 saves percentage at Peoria won't be.

In a recent survey, 60% of mechanical engineers in electronics companies stated that thermal issues had forced board layout changes during the previous 12 months. While I can't purport to know how much respins cost within every organization, I'm willing to bet it is not an insignificant amount – especially if the company has a large portfolio. But I know that thermal simulation can help minimize the risk of late stage PCB respins.
One such solution is Mentor Graphics' FloTHERM PCB which was released recently. FloTHERM PCB offers board-level thermal design capabilities to the PCB thermal design engineer. It helps users identify thermal issues before detailed design in EDA layout tools and thus helps minimize risks of late stage respins.
FloTHERM PCB is designed to be used by all those involved in the conceptual design of PCBs, including product marketing, systems architects, hardware designers, and mechanical/thermal specialists. It interfaces with several major Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools such as Boardstation, Expedition, Allegro and CR5000. Removing the data transfer barrier between the EDA design and the thermal analysis greatly facilitates collaboration among the various groups, particularly during the conceptual phase of the design process. FloTHERM PCB promotes a conceptual design process that is based on the ease of data transfer which enables any changes to be reflected in the physical layout and thermal representations quickly and accurately. This keeps all team members in sync and enables them to contribute to concept development in real-time. The result is pre-optimized concepts in less time and drastic reductions in late-cycle rework as product marketing, mechanical engineering, thermal and manufacturing issues are solved before concept commit.
The last few versions of the software, (the latest being version 6.1), feature a handful of significant improvements to ensure real-life designs can be simulated much faster:
- The direct interface to Expedition PCB which was mentioned already.
- Automatic component library swapping when importing files from the EDA interfaces. This ensures the best thermal representations available are automatically used and positioned correctly.
- The materials library has been extended to provide a wider range of materials and classifications such as High Performance Polymers and Laminates. The extended library makes the creation and simulation of real-life PCB designs much easier.
- Slider bar locations controlling the resolution of metallic distribution are now stored to make it easier to apply the same resolution to multiple layers.
FloTHERM PCB can import part models and library folders generated with other Mentor Graphics thermal tools such as FloTHERM and FloTHERM PACK. And a layout change can be imported without loss of other model settings and data (eg. heatsink geometry, daughterboards, etc). It's a pretty cool tool and if you haven't had a chance to take a look at it yet, then please feel free to watch an on-demand web presentation titled: Reducing PCB Respins. The presentation will show you why and how to incorporate thermal constraints into an existing design flow. It' is presented by one of my favorite electronics cooling product managers, Byron Blackmore, and I'm pretty sure you'll find it very informative. Additional information and application examples can be found on the FloTHERM PCB page on the Mentor Graphics site.
Until next time,

Newest reported 2002 Chevrolet Camaro problems
Check Engine Light Due to Gas Cap Issue
Illumination of the Check Engine Light may be the result of a loose or worn gas cap.
Rear Transmission Mounts Commonly Fail
Failure of the rear transmission mounts is common.
Intake Manifold Gasket May Leak Coolant or Engine Oil
The intake manifold gasket may develop and external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Our technicians tell us that operating the engine with a coolant/oil mix can result in internal engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct these leaks.
Dim Tail or Brake Lights Due to Faulty Light Sockets
The tail or brake lights may be dim due to a poor ground connection inside the light socket. Failed light sockets will require replacement.
Hood and Rear Hatch Supports May Fail
The hood and rear hatch supports may fail causing the hood or hatch fall back down after being raised to the open position. Replacement of failed supports is recommended.
T-Top Models Are Prone to Water Leaks
The t-top models are prone to water leaks from the t-tops weather strip seals. Our technicians tell us that replacing the all of the t-top related weather strips will commonly correct most leaks. Care should be taken when removing and installing the t-tops in order to avoid damage to the weather strips.
Coolant Leak & Engine Overheating
A coolant leak may develop from the water pump. The engine may overheat as a result of the coolant loss. A leaking water pump should be replaced.
The Fuel Pump May Fail Causing the Engine to Stall or Crank Over But Not Start
The fuel pump may fail causing the engine to stall and not restart. Our technicians recommend replacing the fuel filter every 30,000 miles to help prevent undue strain on the fuel pump.
Power Window Not Working Due to Window Motor
A door window may move slowly or stop in mid travel due to a failing power window motor. The affected window may start working again after the motor cools off. Replacing the faulty window motor will commonly correct this concern.
Roller on window guide may break
The roller on the window guide attached to the bottom of the window glass may break off and cause the window to come off track.

No. It's too inexpensive to risk using it. I pitch it if it gets anywhere near the date.
Weird that your Costco bulk IDY is still going strong. I bought the same 2 pack and gave one away. The other pack I split into 2 jars. One I kept at room temps of 75F year round, while the other sat in the freezer. After about a year and a half, the room temp jar was producing noticeable less lift. I did a side by side comparison and the freezer/thawed yeast has near original lifting power while the older yeast is petering out. I still buy IDY in bulk, but keep the unused portion in the freezer. All but just a small tuperware's worth to get through about 6 months, then I replenish.
1/10/12 is the date I started this jar and it's still 2/3 full. Should hit that 5 year mark again at least. Works as good as the first day. Now for a quiet couple fingers of E & J XO and bed after a very nice nite at work, yes....nice! Fun, skilled group that stayed on top of things in the ICU with very few snags jon
Does IDY last longer than ADY?

A histocompatibility antigen blood test looks at proteins called human leukocyte antigens (HLAs). These are found on the surface of almost all cells in the human body. HLAs are found in large amounts on the surface of white blood cells. They help the immune system tell the difference between body tissue and substances that are not from your own body.
HLA typing; Tissue typing
Blood is drawn from a vein, usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. First, the site where blood will be drawn is cleaned with germ-killing medicine (antiseptic). Then, the health care provider wraps an elastic band around the upper arm to apply pressure to the area and make the vein swell with blood.
Next, the health care provider gently inserts a needle into the vein. The blood collects into an airtight vial or tube attached to the needle. The elastic band is removed from your arm.
Once the blood has been collected, the needle is removed, and the puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding.
In infants or young children, a sharp tool called a lancet may be used to puncture the skin and make it bleed. The blood collects into a small glass tube called a pipette, or onto a slide or test strip. A bandage may be placed over the area if there is any bleeding.
You do not need to prepare for this test.
You may feel slight pain or a sting when the needle is inserted. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
The results from this test can be used to identify good matches for tissue grafts and organ transplants, These may include kidney transplant or bone marrow transplant .
It may also be used to:
You have a small set of HLAs that are passed down from your parents. Children, on average, will have half of their HLAs match half of their mother's and half of their HLAs match half of their father's.
It is unlikely that two unrelated people will have the same HLA makeup. However, identical twins may match each other.
Some HLA types are more common in certain autoimmune diseases . For example, HLA-B27 antigen is found in many people (but not all) with ankylosing spondylitis and Reiter syndrome .
Veins and arteries vary in size so it may be harder to get a blood sample from one person than another.
Other slight risks from having blood drawn may include:

Social networks get US college style 2011 Yearbook
An amusing Social Media Yearbook Class of 2011 infographic from Classfinders.com featuring sites such as Facebook, Foursquare, Google+, MySpace, LinkedIn, Twitter with quite a quirky take on microblogging sites, social networks and technology.
It's obviously quite an American view on things due to the publisher having a US-centric audience and their goals. I wonder how many Americans can identify themselves amongst that lot depicted? Does anyone feel like a Glee style singing infographic arriving anytime soon? Maybe Visal.ly will surprise us beyond belief when their new tool is finally released and we could possibly see a few.

"This is a player, he's got all the tools, but he's got to start putting it together. He's missing the glue..."
If Connor Hurley was the top forward in Minnesota High School Hockey, Tommy Vannelli would be arguably the most notable defenseman in the Draft. It's been a whirlwind calender year for the Minnetonka native; he blew scouts away at the Select Festival in Rochester, New York last Summer, earning an invite to play for Team USA at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament, and his season just culminated recently again suiting up for the Stars and Stripes and coming home from Sochi, Russia with a Silver Medal in the World U18 Championships.
His development trajectory has been impressive; he anchored the strongest blueline in the Fall Elite League, wore a Captain's letter for Minnetonka, and was invited to join the USNTDP for the last few weeks of the season (and getting heavy minutes too); like Hurley, he was everywhere this year.
Vannelli may be one of the best skaters in the entire Draft Class- he simply hovers around the ice, effortlessly pivoting and changing directions, and when he digs in lineally, his acceleration is incredibly impressive. I made a note in one of my viewings that the sound his skates make in his first few steps was unlike anyone else on the ice. His mobility basically allows him to play the role of 4th forward; he can join the rush and retreat with no problem, and can simply take the puck and skate it out of trouble in three quick strides. The amount of space in which he can cover is just mind boggling at times; with his mobility and reach it was like an entire faceoff circle worth of coverage. He's got impressive hockey sense; there is an instinctive manner in which he plays, but he can still be coached up some; his positioning can be just off (although he can cheat a bit because of the ease in which he can recover) and he's got to learn some of the nuances and details of the defense position, but its not the end of the World. Offensively he's got slick hands; he can thread passes through traffic and has the presence of mind to shoot not just to score, but also to create rebounds for his teammates.
But like any young player, he struggles with inconsistency. When he's fully engaged he's a complete treat to watch, leaving scouts buzzing; however he's had shifts (and games unfortunately) where he's looked unfocused and disinterested. He didn't show much of a physical presence in the viewings I saw; I'm not saying he's got to be a killer, but he wouldn't take up those opportunities to rub puck carriers out along the wall, or make his presence felt to players standing in front of his net. His puck rushing could be predictable, often choosing to go up along the walls; and if he ever learned the chip and chase (ala Brent Burns), he could be one man forecheck- there were too many times where I saw him turn over the puck at the offensive blueline trying to dangle through the other team.
He's got scary good upside, but there are things about his game that will make teams certainly cautious about taking him. Vannelli is going to a good place to continue to develop though; Mike Guentzel, who coaches the D at Minnesota, will do a good job of shaping Vannelli's game up over the next few years. For what its worth, I think Vannelli is better than Brady Skjei was at this point in Skjei's draft year, and he has more potential in my opinion as well. The NCAA model of development- lots of practice and weight training- should do him well, and whatever team that drafts him.

As they close in on their first anniversary, the owners of Biloba Brewing Company are continuing to achieve one of their main goals when they decided to open up shop in the village area of Brookfield.
In the fall of 2013, Jean Lane said that she and her husband Gordon hoped to make the microbrewery a gathering place for the community.
After opening in April of last year, the Lanes feel that they have already achieved that status, but are hoping to grow that reputation as well through upcoming events.
The brewery is set to host a St. Patrick's Day Party on March 17 from 5:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. Biloba will represent a large part of the group effort by the village of Brookfield to commemorate the holiday. An Irish dance presentatio nwill take place just down the street at the Brookfield Dance Academy followed by food, music, and beer at Biloba. The company's Irish Red and Dry Irish Stout will be on tap to celebrate the occasion.
Approval easier for fences now in Elm Grove
Last week the village of Elm Grove's Board of Trustees approved an ordinance that will make it easier for residents to obtain fence permits for their properties.
The ordinance, which has been in the pipeline for more than three months, allows certain types of fences that property owners may apply for to have their approval process streamlined so that inception of the structures can begin sooner.
"I think the principle goal was to make sure that the process to get a fence approved be more objective versus subjective," Village of Elm Grove Manager Dave De Angelis said.
In the past, all fences not classified as decorative fences had to be reviewed by the village's Building Board in order to gain a permit; however, under the new legislation, the village's Zoning Administrator or his or her duly authorized designee can examine a wider variety of fences on his or her own and issue the permit without the need to consult the building board. Administrative approval can be obtained for architectural screening devices, decorative fences, or open fences.
OSHA says drill rig involved in construction worker's death
The construction worker who died at the Zoo Interchange project Feb. 28 "came into contact" with a drill rig while he was installing tiebacks on a retaining wall, according to Chris Zortman, Milwaukee area director for the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
OSHA is investigating the incident with assistance from the Milwaukee County sheriff's office.
Although many details are still unknown, the sheriff's office has reported that 33-year-old Ryan C. Calkins of Brookfield was pronounced dead on the scene near Interstate 94 and 91st Street about 7:41 a.m. Feb. 28.
Fran McLaughlin, director of support services for the sheriff's office, said Calkins was involved in a "machinery accident" but did not clarify what happened because of the ongoing investigation. She said the sheriff's office and Brookfield police helped interview witnesses, notified family members, and are now assisting OSHA with its investigation.
McLaughlin said Calkins was the only worker injured in the accident.

The Schwaab stamp company will be moving from its longtime location at 11415 W. Burleigh St., Wauwatosa, to a vacant building at 12855 W. Lisbon Road in Brookfield, officials say.
The Schwaab site on Burleigh Road was purchased in January by HSA Commercial Real Estate, developer of Tosa's Mayfair Collection, for $2.15 million, and is likely to be the site of a new shopping center by next year.
"The building is currently being held by an LLC, so Schwaab technically doesn't have the property, but we have plans to move there by June or July," Schwaab President Jeremiah McNeal said, referring to the Brookfield location.
McNeal says that location was an important factor in the search for a new building.
"Location really was key for us. It's very close to our existing building and we anticipate that we'll retain everybody when we move to the new location because it's so close," McNeal said.

Construction starts on Brookfield Square expansion
Mall officials say that the latest evolution of Brookfield Square is now under way.
The first step of this most recent expansion, which is technically Phase 6 in ongoing improvements, will see the addition of approximately 20,000 square feet of new space. This new structure will be located near the southern end of the mall, adjacent to Sears, and facing North Moorland Road. The project also includes the demolition of approximately 7,400 square feet currently occupied by Sears in order to make room.
"We are very excited to continue to deliver to our shoppers the best that dining and retail has to offer," Brookfield Square General Manager Scott Oleson said in a statement. "We are committed to reinvesting in our center and the community, and this expansion underscores our focus."
The new buildings will feature three new restaurants: Jason's Deli, Blackfinn Ameripub, and Mooyah Burger. More new stores are expected to be announced as the project continues.

If a resident of Elm Grove asked the National Weather Service, they might be convinced that they are more safe from severe weather than residents of other communities.
On Monday night, the Elm Grove Board of Trustees was commended by the National Weather Service and forecasters James Wood and Bob McMahon for completing the StormReady program.
StormReady is a nationwide program that measures a community's preparedness for all types of severe weather. The program pushes communities to improve local hazardous weather operations by providing emergency managers with clear-cut guidelines on how to improve their hazardous weather operations.
As of Feb. 23, there are 2,285 StormReady sites, including counties, communities, universities, and more, across 49 states, Puerto Rico, and Guam.
Elm Grove, business association aim to team up on more effective marketing of the community
The village of Elm Grove and the Elm Grove Business Association are hoping that in the months to come a partnership can be formed to increase the municipality's marketability.
The idea was first brought up in late 2014 and at Monday's board of trustees meeting, business association vice president Mary Inden briefed village officials on progress thus far.
"We've had two meetings. On the 18th of this month, we had a meeting in the evening which was not really well-attended," Inden said. "(But) we did come out with some nice ideas."
Inden noted that the business association feels that Elm Grove must improve its marketability both for the sake of existing businesses and to bring in new businesses.
"For businesses in Elm Grove, the first top market is of course Elm Grove residents," Inden said. "But then we do need to expand that neighborhood in order to keep our businesses busy."

The Elmbrook Humane Society's annual spring fundraiser is back with a new name and a new venue.
Called Wine and Whiskers in its first eight years, the humane society will host the event beginning at 5 p.m. March 21 at the Milwaukee Marriott West, W231 N1600 Corporate Court, Waukesha, under the name Spring Gala.
Elmbrook Humane Society executive director Heather Gehrke expects the event to attract between 250 and 300 people and raise close to $50,000 in gross proceeds, roughly in line with past years, and as much as $30,000 in net funds.
"This is a smaller, more quaint event. It's a dinner-type event. That's the major change with this. In the past we've had it set up as more of an hors d'ouvres and food station event with activities going on all around," Gehrke said. "This year, we're having it be more formal with a sit-down dinner."
Gehrke says that the change in format will allow for the humane society to more easily interact with the entire population of guests throughout the night. the evening will include a viewing of a video presentation that will encourage guests to donate specifically to the medical needs at the Elmbrook Humane Society.

A pair of Brookfield aldermen attended the Feb. 24 Waukesha County Board meeting with the hope of getting officials' attention regarding an upcoming project in the city.
The county is planning an expansion of North Avenue in the city of Brookfield between N. 124th Street and North Calhoun Road.
The expansion would at least double the width of the road, with the county's Department of Public Works planning to widen it from two lanes to four lanes to better handle traffic that exceeds 20,000 vehicles per day.
County officials said the threshold generally used for expanding a road to four lanes is 18,000 vehicles per day.
Aldermen Dan Sutton and Bill Carnell attended the meeting. Sutton planned to speak during the board's public comment portion of proceedings, but, because the topic wasn't on the agenda, he was not able to address the issue.

Travel Knife:
The one knife that I likely couldn't be without - yes, even with my pettysuki, Itinomonn, custom Carter, ZKramer, Yoshikane, the list goes on and on - is my Butch Harner travel knife. I briefly mentioned it in my earlier post about knife length, and as I said, it has changed me. It's all of 175mm along the edge, but with full knuckle clearance, a wicked tip, and a perfect Zebrawood handle (I love Zebrawood), it's the knife that I'm currently most attached to...or, up there, for sure. I bring my travel knife with me for work. I bring it with me if I know I'll be cooking at my in-laws'. I bring it with me when I am going somewhere for over a night, and it might need to be called upon. One thing that I love about having one "go-to", while traveling, is that it forces me to really push the knife to its limits, being used as a honesuki, petty, slicer and of course, a gyuto. So far, so good! I'm amazed at how versatile one great knife can be, which is completely ridiculous considering when a person who is looking to get great knives asks, I/we always answer, "get one good knife and go from there". Kinda makes you think about this wonderful and all encompassing rabbit hole we seem to have fallen down, doesn't it? Oh well, until I find a way out, I'll have a slew of wonderfully hear-treated and ground blades to play with, while another is dragged around with me, from destination to destination.

I really like the spine profile of that one...and the edge profile looks very useful!
Is there a trick to that rubber band?
"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." -Antoine de Saint-Exupery
With regards to lengths, I'm reaching for the 180mm gyuto/santoku more and more. Large meals, I'll bring out a larger knife. However, for weeknight meals for the family of 3, the 180mm gets the love.
The Harner travel knife looks great.
Here is a question: Do you have a knife in your arsenal that would be frowned upon by every respectable knife nerd on this forum, but that you still would not give up? For me this is my old Henckels 230 slicer ('ham knife', as they call it in Germany). This knife has seen heavy abuse, is butt ugly, totally scratched up from failed sharpening attempts (when starting with stones), but I have had it forever and it just feels right. I even had a Nenox 230 for a while and sold it again because I kept reaching for the trusty old Henckels. Certainly not because it even remotely performs the same, but because it is so familiar. And for me as a home cook, edge durability is not such a big deal because I don't work my knives as hard as a pro. So, what's your ugly duckling?
I used a thin (#6) cleaver as a bread knife....
Interesting topic on travel knives, it would be interesting hearing what every one travels with.
My criteria for a travel knife is:
Cheap: won't cry if I forget it
Stainless: low maintenance
Smallish: no need to scare the locals
Easy the sharpen: too lazy to haul stones around
So far my kit is:
Opinal 8 Stainless
Dexter Chinese cleaver (more of a nakiri)
I have to admit its more focused on the fruit and veg side of things. Weirdly, I never eat enough of while traveling.
I have a few "uncool" knives that I won't let go of. Namely, my Icel mini chef that I picked up in Portugal, and my Ivo santoku that is also Portuguese. Both serve a purpose, and I actually really like them...despite their 56hrc.

Walker Campaign Accent Table
fantastic piece!
I absolutely love my Walker Campaign table. I had been in need of a side table in my living area, and when I saw this unique piece at World Market I knew it would be the perfect thing to update my slightly more tradtitional, cozy room. The table is sleek and elegant, and looks great alongside my couch with the Jolie Candlestick lamp sitting on it!
I ordered this piece online at a very affordable price, and was so happy with the prompt and safe delivery. The table was in excellent condition and easy to assemble- WM even included a small wrench, which, if I didn't have my husband handy I know would have been crucial to assembly! As it was, I had the table proudly displayed before he even came over to help.
I absolutely love how it updates the room and adds a unique twist. A wonderful purchase!

Great little table
I bought this table to use next to the sofa and it's just the perfect size for a lamp, a drink and the remote. Not too small or too large and the style can go with many different looks if I decide to someday change the other furniture. The metal legs are much darker than shown in the picture online and don't have the noticeable yellow/gold streaks which I am happy about because I prefer more of the basic black vintage looking finish.
October 27, 2012
Love this little table!
Have used it as both a nightstand in the bedroom as well as a side table in the living room. It has a contemporary feel, but fits in perfect with my transitional style of decorating. The price is so good I think I will buy a second one!

Luminogenic substrates have been developed for the measurement of caspase-3/7, -8, & -9 activities as in vitro markers of apoptosis as well as for screening for caspase inhibitors. The homogeneous format of the Caspase-Glo™ Assays was enabled by utilizing a mutant form of beetle luciferase that is stable in the conditions necessary to lyse cells and maintain caspase activity for hours. The Caspase-Glo™ Assay procedure is to add reagent directly to cells in multiwell plates, incubate for 30 min-1 h and record luminescence. There is a linear relationship between the luminescent signal and caspase activity. The luminescent format is 50-fold more sensitive than fluorescent assays for detection of recombinant caspase-3 and can detect as few as 20 apoptotic cells. The stability of the reagents and glow-type luminescent signal are compatible with automation for HTS. Multiplexing of luminescent and fluorescent caspase assays is possible.

Rated 5 out of 5�by jamieS Great skirt
Love this skirt. It is sexy but not overboard. Allows me to wear lots of my great Bebe tops! Very stretchy, so you can probably size down. I ordered an XXS, 5'4, measurements waist 25, hips 35.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Lexia Sexy Long Skirt
This is a very sexy, long skirt though I am 5 foot 4 inches and it drags on the ground unless I wear high heels. It is made of a soft, comfy material and the zipper down the front adds a nice, detailed touch.
My only complaint is that the band under the material on the waist is super cheap so once it gets all twisted up, there's not a lot you can do about it. A little shocking for BeBe - usually these types of things are higher quality.
Overall, I really like this skirt and it can be worn in winter or summer :)

Rated 5 out of 5�by Allisonpe9 sexy!
I just got this skirt in and love it! It's super sexy, love the zipper. I ordered the small. I am 5'3 a size 6 pant 137 lbs. It is really long on me being I am so short but a nice 4 inch + heel or wedge will do the trick!

Champagne Glass Entertaining Set, Set of 12
Purchased for an annual party.
I purchased these for my Annual Party in Feb. I had them engraved by a glass cutter and they were perfect!! the Glass it self is a good weight and size. feels great in hand. and not too delicate. the price made them a real deal, every one took one home as a gift.my order arrived promptly and well packed.
March 16, 2012
Glasses are great, coupon questionable
The glasses are great and just like described. I'm sure they'll be great for New Years Eve! I redeemed a 50% off original price coupon to purchase the glasses. The original price was [$] (on sale [$]), which by my math 50% off would equate to a price of [$] plus tax. I was actually charged [$] plus tax! Not sure how they came up with the price. This is not the first time a World Market coupon was questionable and the math did not add up. The staff said I was given a discount of $5 off the original price and should be happy with that, next customer please! I don't think I'll be going back to World Market.
December 27, 2011
They are perfect!
We bought boxes of these for our limousine business. The boxes are perfect for transporting the glasses from the cars to the dishwasher, and keep the glasswear from breaking. Also a great way to transport and store the glasses safely. Our glasses get heavy use, and we only have ocassional breakage.

Great Buy on Sturdy Champagne Glasses
These great flutes were out of stock on the internet but I found a dozen cases of them at my local store in Walnut Creek, CA. I purchased 7 cases for my son's wedding as the caterer wanted $4.50 per person to rent them because they use the bowl shaped champagne glasses (riduculous!). They are sturdy yet elegant traditional champagne flutes worthy of a lovely bottle of the bubbly. I'm very happy with them. Check your local store because the internet folks have no idea when they will be in stock again. CHEERS!
May 26, 2010
Best bang for your buck
I have used several cases of these glasses for sandblasting for wedding parties. They are a good size, economical and consistant in quality.
The only down side is they are usually in short supply. I ordered 36 but only 24 were in stock.
The closest retail store had none and couldn't help locate any.
July 29, 2009
Best for price.
I bought these for a 50th Anniversary Party. Great value for the money. Terrific storage container for keeping until the next big event.
Excellent value. And, while inexpensive, they are not cheap in look and feel.
