Grandbabies, are they the best or what? I just had a new grandson born today, and I can't wait to get off of work to go and visit this new little creature that weighed over 8 lbs. and was over 20 inches long. I am so happy for mom, dad, and baby. All went well.
All Boardwalk storytimes will be taking a December break from Monday, December 17, 2012 through January 1, 2013. This will give all of us time to finish our holiday preparations and prepare for the new year. We will resume all storytimes in their usual slots on Tuesday, January 2, 2013.
It's that time again, where everything outside is bare and everything inside is warm and cozy! So many of us don't really take a liking to the cold weather, but hey, it's the cycle of life. We have to have the seasons. Below is a poem I wrote many years ago when I lived on a farm and was able, on this particular day, to kick back and take in the beauty of the cold, crisp pond. Try to take a deep breath, a long walk, and reflect what a blessing it is to be alive and able to experience four seasons.
Winter's Pond
You never know what you will find at the Library. Today began like any normal day until a customer checked out A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin, the first in the Earthsea series.
I have been thinking about my ego lately. In order to do that, I have to get out of my body and into the gap. What I mean is to try and silence the thoughts and become more aware of what I'm saying and thinking at the time. It means putting my ego aside and being still.
We have decided to build a Christmas tree with old books that are no longer needed and out of date. We are halfway done! Encyclopedia sets are especially helpful for Christmas tree building, as they are uniform in size and discourage lopsided artistry. If you are ready to say goodbye to an old set of reference books, please bring them to Boardwalk and see your books turned into a Christmas tree!

Christmas is only 4 weeks away! But before then, we'll have fun singing and reading books as we countdown to the magical day of opening presents! Here are some fun songs we'll be singing: Ring the Bells to "London Bridges" and it goes like this:
"Ring the bells it's Christmas time, Christmas time, Christmas timeRing the bells it's Christmas time, Merry Christmas time!"(Additional verses are: Play the drums, Tap the sticks, and Clap your hands).
A fun rhyme to say is Two Little Candy Canes...
Lately I have been giving a lot of thought to relationships, particularly friendships in adulthood, and the way they seem to be rapidly changing given our newer means of communicating with one another. With technology such as texting and Facebook so easily connecting us to one another, I have noticed in my personal life that it is often replacing, dare I say, better forms of human interaction such as hearing someone's voice on the telephone or even meeting in person to interact. I can't help but wonder if the art of friendship and real relationships is deteriorating.
Do you like to write letters and send care packages? Are you thankful for our military? Does making people smile make you feel all warm and fuzzy? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then I have a website for you.
The Soldiers' Angels is a non-profit organization started in 2003 by the mother of two American soldiers. Since then, hundreds of thousands of volunteers have written letters, sent food, socks, and toiletries and offered all kinds of support to our men and women in uniform.
Since I've been dealing with all sorts of medical issues, enjoying the outdoors has been the furthest thing from my mind and not much of a desire. However, while being home sick yesterday, I took just a few moments to sit out on my front porch and soak in some warmth and colors. The leaves that were still attached to a tree limb were breathtaking. I sat there, sniffing, holding my tissues and hot tea, and just closed my eyes and gave thanks for all that I have in life.

The history of these negotiations is merely camouflage for the systematic annexation of the West Bank by way of settlement construction hoping this will encourage Palestinian emigration. In short, a state for Palestine is but an illusion.
America has become La Belle in many aspects. Take the food system, for example. Rather than fresh food being delivered from farms to consumers, we have created this complex web of middlemen and industry practices that insist upon genetically modifying the food, spraying billions of pounds of dangerous pesticides, herbicides and fungicides, radiating our food, adding preservatives, flavors, dyes, fake fat, fake salt, fake sugar, and any of the other tens of thousands of unregulated chemicals that can be used freely.
An estimated 1,100 supporters marched at SF Pride Parade Sunday honoring gay WikiLeaks whistleblower Pfc. Bradley Manning, despite the Pride board of directors' refusal to name him 2013 Grand Marshal.
Bradley Manning, a U.S. Army soldier, admitted sending 700,000 government documents to Wikileaks in 2010. It was the biggest leak of classified information in U.S. history.
What happened to the recent Arab Peace Initiative (API) unanimously endorsed by the 22-member Arab League in 2002 at the Beirut Summit of the Arab League? It is time for Israel to accept the API as a basis for peace negotiations.
I can remember it like yesterday. I was in Chicago at a Centers for Disease Control conference for work and it was going to happen – we were going to war in Iraq, a war based on lies
Drone strikes have dramatically increased under the Obama administration. As of September 2012, Obama has authorized 238 drone strikes in Pakistan, six times more than during President George W. Bush's eight years in office, resulting in between 1,494 and 2,618 estimated deaths with only about 13 percent of them of a militant leader.
Osama bin Laden was assassinated by US military forces in May 2011, but the Obama administration's refusal to release photographic evidence of the deceased bin Laden is fueling conspiracy theories that espouse the notion bin Laden may still be alive.
Actor David Clennon, a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, claims the movie Zero Dark Thirty "promotes the acceptance of the crime of torture, as a legitimate weapon in America's so-called War on Terror."
Senator Mark Leno, Mayor Ed Lee and Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi were the only elected officials to honor US veterans Sunday during San Francisco's 93rd annual Veterans Day Parade.

Day 33 mon 9th sept - last day topdeck day 16
Everyone looked horrible this morning haha. I didn't feel too bad since I came back a bit early but getting on the bus at 7am was a mission for all. We had a huge day of travelling ahead doing 4 countries and finishing in London that night. Our first stop was in bruge in Belgium. This is where we stopped for lunch and it was a cool little city. Apparently this is where French fries where actually first created, not sure if that's completely true ...

Once a year, Brugge has a " no traffic day", and today is that day, so we are now off to make the most of it, as well as checking out the markets. I don't think we'll be buying much as we feel that our cabins will be quite small - a good way to save money.
Until we next find wi-fi, stay safe.

NBA players form a pickup game in the city as lockup looms.
Earlier this week, former men's basketball player Mark Tyndale said he had a free ticket through his connection with the National Basketball Association's Phoenix Suns forward Hakim Warrick to play at last Sunday's Battle For I-95 at the Palestra.…
Tyndale's travels and tribulations
Since 2007–2008, former guard Mark Tyndale's played basketball in Australia and competed in the NBA Development League in Iowa. The Milwaukee Bucks recently waived him from training camp.
Christmas on track for NBA
The departing guard is ready to follow in the footsteps of former Owl Mardy Collins and play in the NBA.
New coaches top summer moves
The women's basketball team, track and field team and baseball team all added new coaches over the summer. In addition, the men's basketball team locked up theirs for an extra season.
For Tyndale, NBA or bust
Agents, scouts, team executives, draft camps, drills, tournaments, weight room sessions, pressure.
This is senior guard Mark Tyndale's life for the next two months.
Last weekend, the recently-named Owl team MVP took part in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament in Portsmouth, Va., a three-day event pitting the top seniors in the country against each other as NBA general managers and team executives looked on.…
Quick exit forces Men's team to look ahead to next season
The atmosphere in the No. 12-seeded Owls locker room afterwards was almost equivalent to their play during the game: quiet and weary.

Tari Bauer's Wednesday letter states, "Obamacare makes the insurance companies cover our older children."

Classic studies suggested that the common mammalian sialic acid N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) is an oncofetal antigen in humans, being immunogenic in adult humans and yet apparently expressed in human fetuses and tumors. We and others have recently found that the human deficiency of Neu5Gc can be explained by an inactivating ...

Direct and indirect staining procedures were developed to characterize sialoglycoconjugates in developing rat submandibular gland. Lectin histochemistry, with and without prior sialidase digestion, combined with differential oxidation and deacetylation procedures was performed in situ. This allowed the expression of sialic acids to be followed during acinar cell development. It was ...
Enns G M - - 2001
Sialuria is a rare inborn error of metabolism in which excessive free sialic acid (N-acetylneuraminic acid, NeuAc) is synthesized. A defect in the feedback inhibition of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) 2-epimerase by the end-product of the sialic acid synthetic pathway, CMP-NeuAc, is the mechanism underlying this overproduction. Recent evidence suggests that sialuria ...

The Tennessee Titans sold out three games on Friday, the first day that approximately 3,000 single-game tickets went on sale to fans.
The Titans sold out the home opener on Sept. 9 against the New England Patriots, as well as an Oct. 11 Thursday night contest vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers and a Nov. 4 game against the Chicago Bears.
For the remaining five regular season games (and two preseason games), between 500 and 1,700 tickets remain for those to keep the Titans sellout streak of 124 consecutive regular season games alive.
At the low end, the fewest tickets remain for a Monday night date with the New York Jets on Dec. 17 and a Sept. 23 game with the Detroit Lions.
The most tickets remain for the Dec. 30 game against Jacksonville and the two preseason games, Aug. 23 with Arizona and Aug. 30 with New Orleans.
"We still have some work to do on a few of the games to keep our string of sellouts, but we have had a 97 percent renewal from our season ticketholders, and we are excited about that," said executive vice president of administration and facilities Don MacLachlan. "Based on a down economy and other factors, we probably had one of the most aggressive single-game ticket campaigns that we've had in recent years."

Founded | 1989 |
Genre | Dance-pop, hi-NRG |
Country of origin | England |
Location | London |
Official website | almightyrecords.com |
Almighty Records is an English electronic dance music record label established in 1989. Almighty Records specialises in pop song remixes, dance pop, and hi-NRG. The label's record producers, Almighty Associates,[1] have remixed such performers as Rihanna, Cher, Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Diana Ross, Donna Summer, Elton John, Elvis Presley, Enrique Iglesias, Kelly Clarkson, Kylie Minogue, LeAnn Rimes, Nelly Furtado, Ricky Martin, Shakira, Shania Twain, Sheena Easton, Usher, Whitney Houston, Adam Lambert and Liza Fox.[2]
Almighty Records' sublabels include Blast Records, Daisy Chain, East Side Records, Euphoric, Unit 4 Productions.[3]
Development of a fanbase[edit]
Since their first UK release in 1989, Almighty Records has covered popular chart songs that had no dance mix, or those that had officially commissioned dance mixes which did not fit the dance-pop genre. Starting its life as a record stall just off the dance-floor of Bromptons in Earls Court, one of London's historic night clubs, its mission has always been devoted to DJs, dancers and dance music. Launched and staffed by disc jockeys and club enthusiasts for twenty years, the first 12-inch release on the Almighty label was a cover of a Limahl single called "Never Ending Story", which was the title song to the 1984 film of the same name. Chosen because the artist's original label, EMI, had allowed the extended version of that song go out of production, while club-goers still wanted to dance to it and buy it.[4]
Almighty feature various artist names, which are in fact projects rather than actual singers or groups, with many different vocalists and session singers behind artists' names,[5][6] many of them already famous as recording artists and even hit songwriters. Almighty's policy of not identifying its singers' birth names is down to the belief that faces and names aren't important and that the music speaks for itself.[7]
By 1992 Almighty had enjoyed notable success thanks in part to their cover versions of ABBA tracks under the guise Abbacadabra. It was at this point that label boss Martyn Norris decided to give up his job and concentrate on Almighty full-time. Pop producer Pete Waterman played some of these tracks on his UK television show The Hitman and Her which boosted interest in the songs and the label, so much so that Waterman picked up some tracks, including "Dancing Queen" for his own label PWL.[8]
Almighty achieved their first UK Singles Chart top 20 hit in 1993 with "I Will Always Love You", a cover of the song by Dolly Parton, Whitney Houston and others, which was performed by Sarah Washington and reached position 12 in the UK chart.[9]
Almighty Records has been successful with various projects over the years, remaking almost all ABBA songs, including a track recorded, but unreleased by ABBA called "Just Like That". To date, Almighty have produced 5 albums and over 10 singles under the Abbacadabra project name, which has sold more than 250,000 units for the label. However, the project which has been the most successful internationally for Almighty is the Queer as Folk CD soundtrack which went gold within one month of going on sale in March 1999 in the UK. The release of this CD followed a request from the makers of the TV series, Red Productions, after another major record company turned down the opportunity due to poor rating of previous music-led television shows on Channel 4. Given a list of tracks, Almighty had one month to compile the music; however, some tracks could not be cleared in time for the release mainly due to time scales, including one by the group Steps who initially said that the show would be too "low profile" for them to be associated with. It was the success of this album which prompted Channel 4 to launch their own music division when the second series of Queer As Folk was made[10] – an international franchise which is still around today.
By the end of 1999, at the label's ten-year anniversary, it was still making 12" vinyl and manufactured CD singles; even now the 12" vinyl single and CD single are considered obsolete formats, Almighty is still mailing out hard copies of their new product catalogues to mail order customers. To celebrate their ten-year success, Almighty released an album called A Decade Of Dance.
Since it started, 90% of the music shops Almighty dealt with all over the world have closed. Customers choose now to buy their CDs online or as a digital download from an online store such as Almighty's own shop or from Amazon. However, physical product sales still count for two-thirds of the label's business from their own online store.
In 2009, the label celebrated its 20th anniversary and in early 2010 released Almighty: Two Decades of Dance to mark the anniversary. This collection spans two decades, and includes all the tracks that in 2010 still remain Almighty's very best sellers over the full twenty years. The manufactured album is megamixed with 20 tracks on each disc – disc one from 2000–2010 and disc two from 1990–1999.[11]
During the latter half of the 1990s Almighty concentrated efforts on producing remixes for record companies for the global club and dance scene and became de rigueur, and the most in-demand name in the pop-dance world, producing up to 5 mixes a week at their peak.[12] It wasn't until 2004 when, in a change of direction for the label, Almighty stopped actively soliciting their remix services to record companies and closed their studio complex.
However, following on from the success of four Cilla Black remixes in 2009 for record label EMI, including one of "Something Tells Me" which was released as Cilla's 37th UK single,[13] Almighty once again sought to produce official remixes. Following increased interest and visibility, Almighty were contacted by management company MWR[14] (Matt Waterhouse Represents) which boasts the most in demand remixers including Cahill, Digital Dog, Moto Blanco, StoneBridge, Wideboys and more.[15] Under Matt's management, Almighty have recently created mixes for top acts including but not limited too - Alexandra Burke, Cher(Burlesque), Cheryl Cole, Elvis Presley, Inna, Katy Perry, Matthew Morrison (Glee), The Saturdays, The Wanted, and Usher.
Today Almighty are popular around the world, especially among gay communities and often market themselves as a gay label; advertising in gay press and releasing various albums specifically targeted at a gay audience.[16]
" | With unwavering support through the years from the gay community, Almighty has become synonymous with the joyous, hands-in-the-air sound of summer dance music. | " |
—Dean Ferguson, New York, [17] |
In recent years Almighty have made their productions available to a wider customer base after making a deal with Universal Music, and more recently with The Orchard, which allows Almighty to sell on most digital platforms including iTunes and Amazon.com. Recently some Almighty Productions have also been made available on Beatport. 2010 is the first year that Almighty products have been made available in the US and Canada.[18]
Not all of Almighty's productions are available on general release, however fans can become members of the Almighty Club. Members receive most items that Almighty produce including special promotional material and additional, previously unreleased recordings.[19]
It can take Almighty from one to three people to produce a track, working on all elements of the production to the final mix down. Single releases are usually a fashion item, preferably chosen if there are no dance remixes of the song in question in the Hi-NRG genre, in the style that Almighty produce. Albums, on the other hand, are planned months in advance.[20]
Over the years Almighty has featured mixes from other dance / pop producers, including Bimbo Jones, Stonebridge, Love To Infinity, Matt Pop, Wayne G, Porl Young, Tony Moran, Way Out West and The Rhythm Masters.[21]
MD Martyn Norris has always overseen all Almighty productions and remixes. Almighty have worked with many talented producers over the years including Craig Hardy, Graham Wilcox, Gary Miller, Ian Gant, Ian Stephens, Jono Buchanan, Jon Musgrave, Richard Cottle, Rod Warren, Steve Hilton, and Jewels And Stone who worked at Almighty under the Mary Brazzle alias. Jon Dixon joined Almighty in 1996 as it first in-house producer / engineer and was responsible for helping set up the Almighty studios. Jon left Almighty in 2002 with colleague Gulio Perruci to set up a new remix team 'Crash'. Jon returned to Almighty on a freelance basis from 2004 until 2010, during which time he has set up another joint venture 7th Heaven[22] with ex Almighty employee Andy Wetson who had left Almighty back in 2005 when their London offices closed. Almighty continues with a number of well known producers and have recently been joined by two new young associates who are working under the guise of 'Almighty Boys'.[23]
With the increase in remix work, and the continuation of their own production work Almighty updated their Gloucestershire based studios to include new Mac Pro computers, plus a plethora of new soft synths to join the existing keyboards. These include vintage Juno's, a Prophet-5 (previously owned by disco and Hi-NRG dance music composer and recording artist Patrick Cowley, which has been on loan to the label for a number of years) and an MKS-80 Super Jupiter.
The studio also boasts hard synths such as a Nord Lead, a Roland JV-2080, and a Korg M1.[24] Previously Almighty had used software such as Cubase to produce mixes, but with the recent upgrades to the studio Almighty have opted to use Apple's Logic 9 in the production of new music in addition to their outboard equipment.
Almighty are also converting many of their old Cubase files from many years ago, and backing them up in Logic.[25] Rather than rebuild a mix using the new software Almighty have stated that they would prefer to update a track, or remix it. Ten to 12 years ago, all of the effects came from outboard equipment, now many of these similar effects are produced on a computer and whilst they are similar they are not the same.
The vocals, or A cappellas are stored separately from the music on DATs of which there are approximately 1000 to 1500. Almighty will not copy and back them all up on disc, citing reasons including time constraints. It is just not realistic to copy them all and back them up. Almighty's main priority is to back up the remaining vocals from the four TASCAM 88 machines to DVD.[26]

like yacht blue it´s very pooooooooooooor
i´ve tried to melt this 2 like someone said here but ... nothing happens
just less than €5 ... thanks god
My first impresion was : well, nothing new under the sun...
This fragrance is really nice but nothing beyond that. Musk, powdery with a bit of citrus.
Yesterday I bought Tous Man, and in my opinion they share the similar dry down, except that tous fragrance has more character and is a little more complex.
Okay. I bought this because I got it for $5. The bottle looked pretty awesome and high quality for only $5. I figured this would be a disappointment because of the price. Boy was I wrong. This stuff smells awesome. Very clean and professional. I do get the spicy citrus notes and it gets musky on the Drydown. Again, amazing scent VERY impressed. Guys, buy this one it's worth it. I would say I wear this at least twice a month, more in the summertime.
A Great Cologne To Have. Reminds Me Of Curve Crush Which I Also Have. But Definitely One Of My Favorites.
This smells exactly like Chanel Allure Homme Sport.. the citrus fades away into the musk & spice pretty fast. it has that synthetic vibe to it.. not long lasting but it leaves behind a faded spicy musky tinge
I have it. Loved yachtman perfumes (red and blue) and thought it will be good similarly. But it is not as good as others initially. My wife loves it and she can smell after 8-10 hours.
Just recieved a bottle of this, tried it on my hands, full of musk and light top notes of citrus. I was looking of a more of citrus. Currently wearing polo black, would try this again tomorrow and then update as I think notes from both the fragrances are mixing into each other.
Edit: When I wear it on myself, I don't get any aqua di gio similarity, though a fellow collegue used to wear it and he smelled so much like adg. The top notes are similar to Adidas victory league I believe. The perfume has a very low longivity. A few hrs max with massive spraying on my body and shirt. Not a bad perfume though, neither lovable. Would not buy again.
I smelled this on a colleague , it reminded me of Acqua di gio. I immediately ordered it online. Waiting for it to be delivered.Also it costs a fraction of the price.
Lets see how this comes out to be.

Motorcycles are by definition efficient machines, but their Prius-like fuel economy often is accompanied by emissions that make a Hummer look clean. As regulators get wise to that fact and go after two-wheelers, the motorcycle industry is embracing alternatives ranging from battery power to hydrogen fuel cells.
The pace of development in recent years is remarkable considering motorcycle design hasn't changed much since the first Hildebrand & Wolfmuller appeared in a showroom 114 years ago. Materials have advanced alongside technology, but motorcycles are still an internal combustion engine between two wheels. Motorcycles may deliver 70 mpg or more, but they can be 10 times more polluting per mile than passenger cars. That has the United States and European Union pushing motorcycles to run cleaner and greener.
"As we look at the country's air-quality challenges, including greenhouse gas pollutants and criteria pollutants, what we've found is that every sector of the transportation area is going to be required to play their part in reaching our overall goals," says Karl Simon of the Office of Transportation and Air Quality at the Environmental Protection Agency. "So even though motorcycles and scooters may represent a smaller percentage of the pie when it comes to emissions inventory, it doesn't mean their makers shouldn't have proper incentive to be using new, greener technologies."
Startups like Zero Motorcycles and Brammo are leading the way, offering electric motorcycles you can buy today, but many major manufacturers are developing hybrid and e-motorcycles and looking ahead with hydrogen-fuel-cell bikes.
Most of the focus is on electric power because motorcycles lend themselves to electrification readily. They're smaller and lighter, so they don't need as much power, and range isn't as big an issue because they're often used around town, says Brammo founder Craig Bramsher. "Motorcycles are the perfect solution," he tells us. "Based on where the technology is today for 100 percent electrification, it lends itself to a motorcycle."
These bikes are more than mountain bikes with motors, though. Electric step-through scooters from Vectrix and Electric Vehicle Company will do 60 mph or more, while battery-powered dirt bikes from the likes of Zero Motorcycles and Quantya are winning kudos from experienced motocrossers. But battery bikes remain limited by range — even with lithium-ion batteries you're still looking at 75 miles, tops — and price tags that hover around five figures. Advocates say costs will come down as the technology improves and bigger companies like Honda, Yamaha and KTM, all off which promise electric motorcycles within two to three years, get in the game.
That isn't to say gasoline engines aren't going to be around for a long, long time. Batteries can't offer the range for long-distance riding or hardcore canyon carving, and they're still pretty freakin' heavy. But even gas-burning bikes could see the benefit of batteries. Italian scooter-maker Piaggio has unveiled a gas-electric hybrid scooter that gets 141 mpg and could be on the road next year, and Honda says it is working on a hybrid motorcycle that draws on its automotive hybrid tech to cut costs. Honda says the technology could be offered in displacements ranging from 50 to 1,000 cc and offer a 50 percent improvement in fuel efficiency.
Diesel technology isn't something you hear a lot about when it comes to motorcycles, but Hayes Diversified Technologies offers a diesel-burning version of the Kawasaki KLR that the Marines have been using for years, and companies like Gray Eagles are working on diesel cruisers capable of 80 mpg and 100 mph. Looking further ahead, some manufacturers are developing hydrogen-fuel-cell motorcycles. Suzuki is out in front with the Crosscage hydrogen concept it developed with help from Intelligent Energy, a British firm that pioneered hydrogen bikes with the ENV urban commuter. The two firms are working together to develop a commercially viable fuel-cell motorcycle that could be in showrooms within a few years.
Competitions like the TTxGP, a "green grand prix" slated for the Isle of Man, will surely help advance the technology, but commercial appeal remains the big barrier to getting alt-fuel bikes on the road in big numbers. Ty van Hooydonk of the Motorcycle Industry Council says there isn't much incentive to develop the bikes until there's a demand for them, given the investment manufacturers must make in R&D, tooling and the like. "If Americans want really green bikes then they'll have to vote with their wallets, and the big manufacturers will then respond," he says.

So we're starting a new series entitled "Why Geeks are Greener." And this is our first installment.
Video games, if you pay attention to the traditional green establishment, are the anti-christ. Not only do they gobble up power, they keep our kids from being at one with nature. And if kids can't be at one with nature, why will the protect it!?
Well folks, I'm here today to tell you that gaming is good for the environment. Whether you are right now experiencing shock, cynicism or relief, you'll want to read the following list of why games are green.
There are, of course, ungreen things about gaming too. If you do it on a 42 inch plasma-screen HDTV, for example, you're going overboard. And running out to buy the new console as soon as it comes out isn't a very green policy, especially since Super Mario Bros. remains as fun today as it was in 1987. And the NES, I'll add, is a very green machine.
But be secure in knowing that your ultra-green friends who drive into the wilderness to have their experiences have no right to scoff at the ways in which you have your experiences.

As though the paper-or-plastic question weren't vexing enough, now some retailers are finding that the "biodegradable" plastic bags they'd hoped would please green shoppers might not be so Earth-friendly after all.
Lunds and Byerly's recently replaced its plastic bags with a biodegradable bag made of low-density polyethylene that purportedly breaks down when exposed to sunlight, oxygen, soil, moisture and microbes.
But biodegradable bags are still petroleum-based, and while they do break down into smaller particles, chemicals eventually show up in the food chain and our bodies, according to Susan Hubbard, CEO of Eureka Recycling in Minneapolis. And it's unclear whether biodegradable bags can be recycled.
What's a shopper to do?
"I don't like plastic bags, so [the grocery store] is in a sense forcing me to bring a reusable bag," said Gail Hanson of Minneapolis, who was shopping at the northeast Minneapolis Lunds that only offers plastic bags, not paper. She keeps reusable bags in the front seat of her car so she remembers to take them into the store.
Although a recent attempt to mandate plastic bag recycling in Minnesota did not survive a legislative committee, pressure to cut back or eliminate the use of plastic bags has been building in the United States and around the world.
In 2007, San Francisco became the first city in the country to ban plastic shopping bags, and similar measures have been adopted or enacted in cities as diverse as Phoenix, Portland, Ore., and Boston. Seattle is debating a fee on plastic bags in hopes of encouraging shoppers to carry reusable bags, and several large stores including Ikea have either banned or begun charging for plastic bags.
Other countries, including China, have banned the distribution of free bags.
1 percent of bags are recycled
Biodegradable bags from Lunds and Byerly's are currently being recycled, but if that changes, Lunds and Byerly's will consider, well, bagging them.
"Our goal is still to be a more eco-friendly retailer," said Aaron Sorenson, spokesman for Lund Food Holdings Inc. The manufacturer of the stores' bags says they break down in two years in a landfill, and are 100 percent recyclable.
Americans use more than 90 billion plastic bags per year, but only about 1 percent of polyethylene plastic bags are recycled, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Minnesotans recycle about 5 percent, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) said. The rest wind up in landfills or on the landscape, where each may take hundreds of years to degrade, although estimates vary depending on the plastic.
So retailers like Lunds and Byerly's and consumers try to do the right thing -- though it can be frustrating figuring out what that is.
Roundy's, owner of Rainbow stores, chose not to use biodegradeable bags because store officials were told the bags cannot be mixed with other plastic bags for recycling, said Vivian King, director of public affairs at Roundy's.
(The Star Tribune is considering using biodegradable plastic bags for newspaper home delivery.)
Virginia-based manufacturer Trex Industries, which makes the Twin Cities' recycled plastic bags into plastic decking and lawn furniture, is doing a study to see if the biodegradable material compromises the product. If biodegradable material disintegrates when exposed to air and light, it might not make durable patio furniture, said Ginny Black, organics recycling coordinator at the MPCA.
The greenest bag
For all the hubbub over bags, there are shoppers who don't want plastic to go away, according to spokespeople at Cub, Rainbow, Target and Lunds/Byerly's. Consumers like the bags for frozen and deli items, and they use them for pet waste and garbage.
So while some supermarkets grapple with a so-called "greener" plastic bag, other retailers are charging for them or banning them to encourage use of reusable bags, which environmental experts say are the best choice.
When Ikea started charging a nickel for its plastic bags a year ago, the Swedish retailer expected bag use to drop 50 percent. Actual bag use plunged a surprising 92 percent, from 70 million to 6 million. In October the company will eliminate plastic and paper bags entirely.
Aldi supermarkets charge a nickel for paper and a dime for sturdy plastic bags that can be reused. The German company has charged for bags since it opened U.S. stores in 1976.
But mainstream grocery stores aren't likely to follow the lead of Mississippi Market Co-op in St. Paul, which eliminated plastic bags completely last month. Supermarkets don't want to alienate their customers, said supermarket analyst David Livingston.
"If you're buying a lot of groceries, reusable bags are cumbersome," Livingston said. "Stores should give away reusable bags if they want people to use them."
Many stores have done just that, or at least offered them at a discount. Stores that continue to offer plastic can look greener by highlighting their low-cost reusable bags. Cub Foods will offer a reusable bag free with a $25 purchase this week . Trader Joe's discourages use of paper or plastic by letting customers who bring their own reusable bags put their names in a drawing for prizes.
Target offers three sizes of reusable bags for 99 cents to $1.49. It does not currently collect plastic bags for recycling in its Minnesota stores but does so in California, Rhode Island and Maine to comply with state laws, said Target spokeswoman Amy VanWalter.
What about paper bags? Unlike plastic bags, paper is a renewable, compostable resource. Another alternative is a compostable bag made from corn starch, but those are about four times more expensive than plastic. Unfortunately, we can't plant forests fast enough to replace paper bags that are used only once, so put reusable bags in the car, Hubbard advised.
"Paper bags have always been a better choice than plastic," Hubbard said. "But reusable bags are the best choice."

Switching the type of light bulbs we use at home is a small but impactful step we can take to both save money and help reduce pollution. This video explains why we think it's time to switch.
When choosing between two similar products, select the one with the least unnecessary packaging.
Remember that wrenches, screwdrivers, nails, and other hardware are often available in loose bins. At the grocery, consider whether it is necessary to purchase items such as tomatoes, garlic, and mushrooms in prepackaged containers when they can be bought unpackaged.
When appropriate, use products you already have on hand to do household chores (see Source Reduction Alternatives Around the Home). Using these products can save on the packaging associated with additional products.
Recognize and support store managers when they stock products with no packaging or reduced packaging. Let clerks know when it's not necessary to double wrap a purchase. (see Source Reduction—Savings for Businesses)
Consider large or economy-sized items for household products that are used frequently, such as laundry soap, shampoo, baking soda, pet foods, and cat litter. These sizes usually have less packaging per unit of product. For food items, choose the largest size that can be used before spoiling.
Consider whether concentrated products are appropriate for your needs. They often require less packaging and less energy to transport to the store, saving money as well as natural resources.
Whenever possible, select grocery, hardware, and household items that are available in bulk. Bulk merchandise also may be shared with friends or neighbors.
It is important to choose food services that are appropriate to your needs. One alternative to single food services is to choose the next largest serving and store any leftovers in a reusable container.
The most important thing you can do to help fight climate change is call on your elected officials to enact policies that will help solve it. However, you can save money and reduce your own contribution to global warming by making climate-friendly choices each day. Here are a few simple tips for living a more climate-friendly life:
On the Go
Check the inside of the driver's side door or owner's manual and jot down the double-digit number followed by the letters "PSI," which stands for Pounds per Square Inch. This is how much air your tires were designed to hold. Pick up a tire gauge (for about $5) and use it to measure the air in your tires. If it turns out your tires are under-inflated, visit a gas station for an air touch-up and you'll enjoy an easier (and more energy-efficient) ride. Click here to watch Pump Your Ride -- a fun video guide to proper tire inflation.
At Work
Want more? You can calculate your personal contribution to global warming by using a carbon calculator, such as those offered by EarthLab, The Nature Conservancy, Carbon Footprint and the EPA.

It's getting to that time of year when schools are starting back up and everyone is heading out to stock up on necessities. EcoGeek has a few items that can go on your green tech shopping list...
It's important to have the right computer equipment on your desk from day one. Thankfully, there are a lot of green options to choose from, especially since Dell came out with its new green PC. You can choose a color that suits your style, or go classy with the bamboo cover. That would, after all, match a new bamboo-covered external hard drive for a back-up database, which you'll want since computers are notorious for crashing in the middle of term papers.
If you want something cute, rather than sleek, you can hold off and wait for the tiny 10.5 oz PC CherryPal to come out. Compliment either selection with a green-running monitor like the zero-watt monitor from Fujitsu Siemens.
If you're not a PC person and prefer your Mac Book, you can go green by charging it via solar power with an Apple Juicz or a Powergorilla.
Should you need a green router, you can pick up a new router from D-Link that saves significantly on energy use. And to finish off your set-up, grab Google's mouse made of recycled materials, and wow your classmates with the world's first green USB drive.
Now on to classroom items. If you're hunting for school uniforms, you can head over to HippyShopper for organic attire. GreenEyedFrog has the skinny on earth-friendly pens, pencils, and cases -- not all that geeky, but basic necessities nonetheless. Also, you'll need a stapler for all those papers you're handing in, but you can lighten your load by going with a staple-less stapler and save the earth on resources that go into staple-making.
Carrying textbooks is a drag, so when you can, load them up on an e-reader. You can go stylish with the Sony Reader, or go for easy downloading with the Kindle. We're still waiting on the Papyrus, so no PMing your teacher or asking classmates for hints yet. Sigh.
To make sure you wake up for class on time, try out a water-powered clock. Pack everything up in your solar backpack so you can charge your gadgets on the run, and you're good to go.
Have fun, learn lots!

I recently found out about ProQuo! ProQuo helps you stop junk mail, protect against identity theft, saves tree and start getting just the marketing mail you want.
It's free, and it only takes a few minutes to begin. Visit http://www.proquo.com to get started!
There are many ways to distinguish green people from all the rest. First off, if this "person" is a frog, sings songs about rainbows, and is constantly stalked by a love obsessed pig - That's not the kind of "green person" I'm talking about.
I'm talking about the kind of person that carries around an eco-friendly promotional water bottle to reuse and reduce plastic waste. Or the guy you see riding his bike to work everyday so that his carbon foot print is reduced. Or your neighbor - the one who spends her days outside planting flowers and avoids the on button of her air conditioner.
Those are the green people. They're the ones that are trying to make a difference. And this week, employees and shoppers at 400 Pharmasave stores in Canada joined the green team. When other stores are advocating custom eco-friendly tote bags for groceries and other purchases, Pharmasave is offering 100% biodegradable plastic bags. In efforts to stop the massive plastic buildup in land fills, the bags have been introduced and are said to only take 9 months to 5 years to disintegrate into the land. Where as normal plastic bags can take hundreds of years to break down.
The movement to live sustainably has been newly introduced but it's awesome to see that everyone's beginning to take part in it through eco-friendly actions. Motivators understands the importance of living the eco-friendly life. That's why there are so many environmentally friendly promotional products to choose from.
When people make the smart decision of making an eco- friendly purchase we want to help celebrate their "Going Green." That's why whenever an eco-friendly promotional product is purchased, Motivators plants a tree through the American Forest's Global Re-Leaf program. Join the movement! Go Green.

For many Americans, the idea of going green involves over-priced veggies, unaffordable hybrid cars, and expensive organic remedies.
So given the price of oil, the falling value of the dollar, and the price of most organic food (and food in general), how practical is it to go green on a budget?
For those of us currently lacking cash, a few simple lifestyle modifications can leave us healthier wealthier, and wiser. You might be surprised to find that many of your daily activities are already eco-friendly, and the cheaper alternative. However, if you just can't reconcile your green desire with an empty wallet, here are a few tips to help you save and go green at the same time.
The average U.S. commute is 12 miles, and in an average 27-mile-per-gallon vehicle, with gas at $4.00 a gallon, it tallies up at nearly $900.00 dollars a year. This represents a conservative estimate, as many commutes extend far beyond 12 miles. Although public transportation isn't free, it's much cheaper than driving, especially when you figure in car maintenance, insurance, and a small allowance for parking tickets.
Riding your bicycle is the best (and healthiest) green option, and will help shed any unwanted pounds you may have. Replacing your car with a bike ride just once a week could shave off $184.00 from annual commuting costs.
Carpooling often saves time, money, and wear and tear on your vehicle. If driving a vehicle is a must, check out 5 Fuel Saving Strategies for some tips on how to save money (and reduce fuel intake) at the pump.
Buying produce in season is a green and budget-friendly technique to cut food costs. Berries out of season usually cost around $3.00 more than when they are in season.
Your local farmers' market is truly the best place for those on a budget to shop with a clean conscience. Not only do farmers' markets support sustainable farming practices, organic produce, and local farmers, but they enable an experience that is greener than meets the eye.
By eliminating the chain of jet fuel, pesticides, and unfair labor practices linked to some supermarket produce, farmers' markets provide a budget-kind, community-cultivating, eco-friendly option for gathering an healthy harvest.
The elixir of life to some, coffee is a great example of how going green can economically, psychologically, and physically impact the lives of others. Fair trade coffee practices dramatically improves returns to small producers and positively affects their daily lives while maintaining the precious forest canopy for tropical birds and their future generations.
Fair trade, ecosystem-supporting coffee does cost more, but at $2.00+ a cup at the café, you will save big if you brew at home. You will also spare the environment from a surplus of non-recyclable coffee cups that meet their end in the trash.
After your workout, at the job, or during your weekend, opt for a reusable water bottle instead of spending money on bottled water. An average plastic bottle of water costs $1.79. Many reusable bottles sell for around $18.00, such as Klean Kateen and Sigg, which are made from recycled aluminum, are completely leach-free, and come in several styles.
Creating your own home cleaning solutions is the most healthy and economical way to go—you know what's in them and you've often invested mere pennies per product. Visit Eco Cleaning Solutions for a Healthy Home for tips and recipes.
Companies like Seventh Generation and Biokleen offer lines of eco-friendly products that are of equal cost or cheaper than most leading bands. Some eco paper products like paper towels may cost a bit more than the leading brands, but with 80% post consumer waste and 28 more towels, it might just be a green steal. Many companies with green cleaning lines also sell baby and feminine care products, as well as household paper and supplies.
By switching from traditional petroleum-based liquid laundry detergent to a vegetable-based detergent, you'll be cutting down on oil consumption and saving money. Visit Soap Up Safely with Natural Detergents for tips and product finds.
Always scan cleaning product labels or company websites for confirmation of the following:
Some companies like Seventh Generation offer coupons on their website—the ultimate thrifty, eco-friendly practice!
Going green on a budget isn't always easy, but by creating our own solutions and realizing that the "greenness" of a product doesn't always boost its price, we can make make the eco-friendly lifestyle fun and creative instead of daunting.
As awareness about the full impact of our lifestyle grows, soon only commitment to green living and a sharp eye for deals is all that's necessary for your budget to work.

Yosemite Half Dome Permit Help!
June 12, 2011
Yosemite Half Dome hiking permits!?
My friend and I are headed out to Yosemite in less than 4 weeks. Just found out that you need a permit to hike half dome. Any ideas of how to get these permits? Recreation.gov is exhausted, got my name on a blog or two... hoping something will turn up. Anyone by chance have any additional ideas on how to get these? Looking for just one day between July 15-20.
No worries, I understand that people can't resell them, but can turn them in if they are not planning on using them. Not trying to rip off the system here, just wanna get a chance to experience the park while we're out there.
Feel free to memail me.

Yosemite is beautiful and huge. There are tons of things to do besides climbing Half Dome, many of which might be more fun and interesting anyway. Half Dome is super crowded, pretty physically challenging, quite dangerous if the conditions are bad, and is a long steep slog. It's not that it's not beautiful and all, but I really don't see it as a mandatory part of a Yosemite experience.
The NPS permit page says that backpackers with wilderness permits can get a half dome permit with no additional reservation required. I'm not quite sure how that works, but it may well be easier to get a backpacking permit, either in advance or trying to pick one up the same day (they set aside a portion for this). See the
wilderness permit
information page. It seems you need a wilderness permit specifically for the Half Dome area, so this might be a tough catch, but it's a possibility.
Also, note that the Half Dome cables
are currently down
due to they heavy snowpack. There are no plans to get them up before June 17, and it could take substantially longer depending on the weather. I'd like to think the cables would be up before July, but it's entirely possible that the slope won't be accessible yet.

In case they really have decided to limit people on the Half Dome trail, may I recommend Yosemite Falls as an alternative?

Because the cables are down, you only need a pass if you plan to stay the night. Regularly, if the cables were up, you'd get a wilderness pass to stay the night and it would include your half dome permit.
In order to get an overnight pass, you need to know the name of the trailhead where you plan to start, and where you plan to exit because the Ranger who takes your order (and the form itself) will absolutely require both. For Half Dome, you'd want to probably start and end at Happy Isles and sleep overnight at the Little Yosemite Valley. It's appx 4 miles to the little valley and another 4 miles from there to the top of half dome.
They reserve 40% of all passes for people to purchase on the day of the trip. In fact, you can usually get the overnight pass a day beforehand too (as I did 3 weeks ago for a party member who joined last minute.) This is not a guarantee of availability, but it does give you a fighting chance.
If you plan to do the hike in one day (~16 miles roundtrip), you will need no pass of any kind. Just park somewhere & get to the trailhead. Might I recommend going up on the mist trail and back down on the John Muir trail. This way you get to see the most on your trip and actually it shortens the 16 miles a little bit. Make sure you take the map with you, it will make that suggestion easier to follow. You will get wet going up the mist trail.
As a final note- The cables are usually supported with 2x4 like wood which act as steps. While the cables are "down" officially, they are actually permanently mounted up there. The wood is not up there, but the actual cables are and many people still get to the top, even now, by clipping themselves to the cables and using them as they climb up. You know your skill level and whether or not this is something you are capable of doing. I myself made it to the top of the sub dome before throwing in the towel. It was all snow, no trail or switchbacks, when I made the attempt 3 weeks ago. However several members of my party were able to get to the cables, clip in and and summit even with the snow and water. The Rangers of course absolutely warn hikers and they
expect you to know your limits.
That being said, it is an absolutely gorgeous hike, well worth the 16 mile trek.

Backpacker's most recent issue provided a little extra info on how to obtain permits on the day of your trip.
1) Arrive early, there may be a line. You want to get your pick of permits available.
2) Do your homework. Have multiple itineraries planned, just in case.
3) Be very clear about what your abilities are. The Rangers want to make sure they aren't going to have to come rescue you.
4) Don't be wearing all brand new gear, which will make the Rangers think that the closest you've come to the great outdoors is your local REI.
5) Good luck!

If you plan to do the hike in one day (~16 miles roundtrip), you will need no pass of any kind.
Starting this year, you need a permit to go beyond the base of the subdome whenever the cables are up. The parks service is trying to eliminate the backup of 800+ hikers lined up at the cables. The cables aren't up yet (they are usually up by Memorial Day weekend), but it's entirely possible they will be up by the time the OP gets there if we get a little warmer temperatures.
The wood is not up there, but the actual cables are and many people still get to the top, even now, by clipping themselves to the cables and using them as they climb up. You know your skill level and whether or not this is something you are capable of doing. I myself made it to the top of the sub dome before throwing in the towel. It was all snow, no trail or switchbacks, when I made the attempt 3 weeks ago. However several members of my party were able to get to the cables, clip in and and summit even with the snow and water.
Please do not do this unless you really and truly know your stuff and have experience ascending steep slopes in winter conditions.
is what the Dome looks like now. Pretty slippery to my eyes. A man slipped and died off the
Mist Trail
last month. It is gorgeous, but in my opinion not worth the risk if the cables are down and the rock is covered in slippery snow.
The falls are reportedly amazing right now with record high flows. If Half Dome doesn't work out, why not check them out instead?
posted by
on June 13, 2011
The dates of OP's trip and the dates for the cables to remain down coincide, thus, as long as the cables are down, no day pass is required. If that changes, then obviously so does the need for a pass.
The Mist Trail starts about one mile in from the trailhead at Happy Isles, is wet year round because it climbs up just below and beside a waterfall and is miles away from the start of the half dome trail. Further- the Mist Trail has nothing to do with Half Dome other than it's one of the trails that gets a hiker up to the half dome trail, which is itself another few miles in length. The two are separated by ~6 miles.
I already explained that climbing the dome itself when the cables are down isn't recommended and that one should know their own limits. My post did not need a fine print nor an over sensationalizing of the facts. A man dying at the Mist Trail does not equal trouble at Half Dome. I was trying to give facts, not opinion- The Summit is absolutely attainable if you are experienced and prepared. Know that there is still snow up there. Know that it is summited every day but clipping in will be your friend. Know that the Rangers recommend not attempting it.

Thanks everyone for the comments!
We are headed to Yosemite in mid-July when I would think that the cables will be up. We would need a permit - I was thinking of going to wait in line, but in the meantime I've been scouting out permits online via blogs. Craigslist half dome posts always get flagged. The wilderness permit idea is something that I have also been considering, but I'm not very familiar with the hikes that include half dome. Can anyone direct me to a route that includes half dome where I could qualify to get the permit to be included?

Summers End
The past weekend marked the end of daylight savings time for this year. The weather was pretty nice Saturday and Sunday, but yesterday definitely brought an end to that feeling, with the arrival of the first big storm (some say it rivals the legendary storm of 1999, the roads this morning surely witnessed that some damage occurred to buildings, threes and scaffolding etc.).
So I thought it was fitting to call the short movie I made while playing around with the new Garmin Virb action cam (more on that later) for Summers End.

Kongesporet 2013 and Narrow/Wide chainring follow up.
Today is Tuesday. My bottom only hurts a little now.
Sunday evening it was a bit worse. Crossing the finish line Sunday afternoon it didn't really feel that bad. The pain came creeping in after I'd relaxed for a couple of hours.
Sunday morning 9 a.m. I was ready on the start line of the inaugural version of Kongesporet (Kings trail) 2013.
For the last two months I've been training to start racing again, planning to debut in the
in November. Despite that plan I was ready on the start line of Kongesporet this Sunday. Thinking it might be a good opportunity to test my fitness and finally do some racing again. I'd signed up for the marathon distance of 105 km, as the shorter distances of 42 and 21 km are for kids and rookies.
I've ridden marathon races before, but it's been a couple of years, so I didn't really know what pace to set. But I had a plan.

Race Face Single Ring Narrow/Wide - initial impressions
Are the XX1 style narrow/wide chainrings worth the money?
The answer pretty much comes down to their ability to keep the chain from falling off, when running without a chainguide.
I thought it might be interesting to isolate the narrow/wide effect, too see what it really does.
Narrow/wide and standard version of the Race Face Single Ring.

Moroccan climbing
Back in the spring of 2010 Jonathan Mathiesen, Jens Arne and I wen't to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco for some african skialpinism.
I've since had 900+ photos that I want'ed to get sorted and perhaps share a few of.
Anyways now it's autumn '13 and the Danish Climbing Federation are organizing a climbing trip to Tafroute in Morocco, so what better reason to put of some pictures.
This first post from our trip three years ago, is primarily climbing orientated. Later post can cover skiing and culture.

I tried it today. When I discovered something was wrong, to bolts and nuts were missing completely, and the other two had loosened so much, they only had a couple of threads keeping them together with the nuts.
A 15 min search only revealed one bolt. Two nuts and a bolt had been abducted by the numerous very large ants that were all over the trail today.
So how to continue?
Search in your pockets (saddlebag in this case) and see what you can find.
In addition to my tools and spare tube, I found a couple of meters of 3mm cord.
Tighten to two remaining bolts and tie the cord through the two empty holes.
Two bolts and cord for the rest.
It holds up pretty well. Enough to both ride home and to get some icecream to celebrate the arrival of summer.

Sluff management
Jim Conway and Mark Newcomb has made a good writeup on sluff hazards and sluff management techniques, for the US Forrest Service Avalanche Center.
It's not new anymore, but the information is still relevant. I think it's easy to understand and easy to apply.
Small sluff on Cheops Mountain. Rogers Pass, BC.
