text: What is yard waste? Yard waste includes organic waste generated during regular household landscaping and gardening activities. Examples include: leaves, branches, twigs, shrubbery trimming, straw, pine needles, wood ash, and Christmas trees. Rocks, dirt, and gravel are not considered yard waste.Effective January 1, 2015, yard waste set out for collection must be in one of the following containers: reusable bin, paper yard waste bag or compostable plastic bag meeting ASTM D6400 standards. For a printable Citizens Guide to Yard Waste click here. So what is the best way to handle your yard waste? Louisville's Waste Management District recommends citizens use the following methods for handling yard waste, in order of preference: Yard waste collection within the Urban Service District Yard waste is picked up separately from household garbage on a once a week, Monday thru Friday schedule. It is collected on the same day as your recycling, so sufficiently separate yard waste from your orange recycling bin. There is no limit on the number of bags or cans of yard waste that may be set out for collection. The same Holiday Collection Schedule applies as stated under Residential Garbage. Guidelines for collection of yard waste: Yard waste collection outside the Urban Service District Residential yard waste collection within the suburban areas (outside the former City of Louisville) is the responsibility of the individual residents/property owners and is contracted through private waste haulers. These entities are listed in the Yellow Pages under "Garbage & Rubbish Removal." Your private waste hauler can provide you with a collection schedule and guidelines for pickup. Many small cities provide yard waste collection by contract with their waste hauler. Residents should contact their city administrator for yard waste guidelines and acceptable materials.

The moment you have all been waiting for
Clinching the division was great and all, but today, the Dodgers announced their all-time Los Angeles team. Here it is, lifted straight from the PR release.
LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers, who have been celebrating their 50th anniversary all season long, unveiled the results of a season-long voting process on dodgers.com that yielded the fans' choice for the All-Time L.A. Dodger team. Voting to find the Los Angeles Dodgers' all-time team began back in September 2007 and concluded nearly a year later, resulting in a team of 15 players, deemed the greatest in the storied history of the franchise since moving west in 1958. The team was revealed to fans in attendance at Thursday night's regular season home finale.
The All-Time Los Angeles' Dodgers team:
FIRST BASEMAN: Steve Garvey appeared in a then-National League record 1,207 games played from 1975-81. Garvey also set the Los Angeles Dodger record for games played at first base (1,672) and won four consecutive Gold Gloves at the position (1974-77) while going a Major League record 193 consecutive games without an error. In 1974, the 10-time NL All-Star won the MVP, hitting .312 with 21 homers and 111 RBI. Garvey had 200 or more hits in six seasons and batted .393 in All-Star Games, while winning the MVP of the Midsummer Classic in 1974 and '78. The current member of the front office won the 1978 NLCS MVP and batted .338 with 11 home runs in 11 career postseason series.
SECOND BASEMAN: Davey Lopes played for the Dodgers from 1972-81. He was a converted center fielder who became part of the Dodgers' record-setting infield for eight and a half seasons along with first baseman Steve Garvey, shortstop Bill Russell and third baseman Ron Cey. Lopes stole 418 bases with Los Angeles, including a career-high 77 in 1975. He won a Gold Glove in 1978 and was a four-time All-Star (1977-81). Lopes hit 98 home runs as a second baseman, which is the most in Dodger franchise history.
SHORTSTOP: Maury Wills began his first tenure with the Dodgers in 1959 and proceeded to make the All-Star team five times over the next eight seasons while taking home the 1962 National League MVP Award. The two-time Gold Glove winner was traded after the 1966 season, but returned to Los Angeles in 1969 and retired a Dodger after the 1972 campaign. Wills stole a then-Major League record 104 bases in '62 and ended up swiping a Dodger record 490 bases, leading the NL for six straight seasons (1960-65). Wills was a member of four National League pennant winners in Los Angeles, including three World Championship teams ('59, '63, and '65) and hit .367 with three stolen bases in the 1965 World Series against Minnesota.
THIRD BASE: Ron Cey started at the hot corner for the Dodgers from 1973-82, finishing sixth in the Rookie of Year Voting in '73. From 1971-85, Cey played in 1,468 games a third base, which is the most in franchise history. Beginning in 1974, Cey made six straight All-Star teams and started the Midsummer Classic in '74, '75 and '77. "The Penguin" led the Dodgers in home runs four times and had career highs of 30 homers and 110 RBI in 1977, finishing eighth in the MVP voting and leading Los Angeles to the NL pennant. In the 1981 World Series, Cey batted .350 with a homer and six RBI, including a key three-run blast at Dodger Stadium in the first inning of Game 3, which jump-started the Dodgers to four straight wins over New York. For his efforts, Cey was named the 1981 World Series Tri-MVP along with Pedro Guerrero and Steve Yeager.
CATCHER: Mike Piazza was drafted by Los Angeles in the 62nd round of the 1988 First-Year Player Draft, but took the league by storm in his rookie season of 1993. The Pennsylvania native hit .318 with 35 homers and 112 RBI (both Dodger rookie records), made the All-Star team, and was unanimously selected as the NL Rookie of the Year. Piazza also won the Silver Slugger Award, an accolade he would win every full season he finished in a Dodger uniform (1993-97). Viewed by many as the greatest hitting catcher of all-time, Piazza finished second in the MVP vote after the 1996 and '97 seasons and was named the 1996 All-Star Game MVP in his hometown of Philadelphia. In the five full seasons Piazza played for the Dodgers, he averaged 33 home runs and 105 RBI while batting .337. Piazza also set the Los Angeles Dodger single-season mark with a .362 batting average in 1997 and remains the only Dodger to hit a home run completely out of Dodger Stadium during a game.
OUTFIELDER: Rick Monday, a former Arizona State University star and current Dodger broadcaster, played for the Dodgers from 1977-84. His most memorable hit was the ninth-inning home run in Game 5 of the 1981 National League Championship Series at Montreal, which propelled the Dodgers into the World Series. Yet his most memorable moment might have been saving the American flag from being burned by two fans on the field at Dodger Stadium in 1976 when he was an outfielder for the Chicago Cubs.
OUTFIELDER: Reggie Smith, who was acquired from the St. Louis Cardinals in June 1976, joined teammates Ron Cey, Steve Garvey, and Dusty Baker in 1977 as baseball's first 30-home run quartet. The switch-hitter finished with 314 career home runs, spanning from 1966-82. He was a key member of the 1977 and '78 pennant-winning Dodger teams and the 1981 World Series championship team. Smith was a three-time All-Star in L.A. and finished fourth in the NL MVP voting in both 1977 and 1978.
OUTFIELDER: Duke Snider, inducted into Baseball's Hall of Fame in 1980, hit 389 home runs with Brooklyn and Los Angeles between 1947 and '62. He compiled a .300 batting average in 1,923 lifetime games with the Dodgers. Snider also collected the first Dodger hits in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and Dodger Stadium. His uniform No. 4 was retired by Los Angeles on July 6, 1980.
STARTING PITCHER: Orel Hershiser, whom manager Tommy Lasorda dubbed "Bulldog," may best be remembered for his 1988 season, when he won the National League Cy Young Award and helped his Dodgers to the World Series championship, going 23-8 with eight shutouts and a 2.26 ERA. That same year, Hershiser spun 59.0 consecutive scoreless innings to break Don Drysdale's Major League record of 58.2 innings. The right-hander burst onto the scene in 1984, when he went 11-8 with eight complete games and a 2.66 ERA to finish third in the NL Rookie of the Year balloting. He followed that up with a solid sophomore season in 1985, going 19-3 with a 2.03 ERA. Hershiser was an NL All-Star from 1987-89, getting the start against the American League in both of the first two years. He finished in the Top 3 in ERA in the NL five times (1984-85, 1987-89), and led the NL in innings pitched three years in a row from 1987-89.
STARTING PITCHER: Sandy Koufax, one of the most dominating pitchers in baseball history, won 165 games and compiled 2,396 strikeouts in 2,324.1 innings during his 12 seasons with the Dodgers from 1955-66. He won the Major League Cy Young Award in 1963, 1965, and 1966, and also earned National League Most Valuable Player honors in 1963. The Brooklyn native led the NL in ERA for five straight seasons from 1962-66, including three seasons with a sub-2.00 ERA. He pitched in four World Series, going a combined 3-1 with a 0.95 ERA in eight games while taking home the championship in 1959, 1963, and 1965. Koufax, a seven-time All-Star, was named World Series MVP in 1963 and 1965. The left-hander tossed four no-hitters during his career, including a perfect game against the Chicago Cubs on September 9, 1965. From 1965-66, his final two years in baseball, Koufax went 53-17 with 54 complete games and 1.89 ERA in 84 games. His No. 32 was retired by the Dodgers in 1972, and he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame that same year.
STARTING PITCHER: Johnny Podres will always be known as the baby-faced kid who defeated the New York Yankees in Game 7 of the 1955 World Series, giving the Brooklyn Dodgers their only World Championship. Podres did, however, pitch eight-plus seasons in Los Angeles as well, helping them win two more World Series titles (1959 and 1963). Podres' best season in Los Angeles came in 1961, the Dodgers' last year playing at the Los Angeles Coliseum, when he won a career-high 18 games. In 1963, Podres pitched Game 2 of the World Series against the Yankees, defeating them 4-1 and helping the Dodgers sweep New York in the Fall Classic. The left-hander was selected to four All-Star Games, all in a Dodger uniform, and he got the start in the second of two 1960 Mid-Summer Classics. Podres also led the NL in 1957 with six shutouts.
STARTING PITCHER: Don Sutton spent 16 of his 23 Major League seasons with the Dodgers, and is atop the franchise's all-time leader board with 233 wins, 550 games, 3,814.0 innings, 2,696 strikeouts, and 52 shutouts. Sutton was a 20-game winner just once in his career, going 21-10 for the Dodgers in 1976, but he did win in double digits for Los Angeles in 15 of his 16 seasons with the team. He would also average close to 230 innings pitched per season while with the Dodgers. He also tossed 156 complete games in a Dodger uniform. Sutton was a member of five pennant-winning Dodger teams in 1966, 1974, 1977, 1978, and 1988. He was a four-time All-Star for the Dodgers, and he pitched in three World Series in Dodger Blue (1974, 1977, 1978). Sutton also led the National League with a 2.20 ERA in 1980, and he had an NL-best nine shutouts in 1972. His No 20 was retired by the Dodgers in August 1998, just one month after he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
STARTING PITCHER: Fernando Valenzuela exploded onto the scene with his rookie campaign in 1981, becoming the first pitcher to win the Rookie of the Year and Cy Young Awards in the same season. He also started for the National League in the All-Star Game that year. Fernandomania swept the country during that strike-shortened season of 1981, as the 20-year-old from Sonora, Mexico, went 13-7 with eight shutouts and 11 complete games to help the Dodgers to a World Series championship. Valenzuela spent the first 11 seasons of his career with the Dodgers, earning All-Star honors for six years in a row from 1981-86 and winning a career-high 21 games in '86. On June 29, 1990, the current Dodger broadcaster tossed a no-hitter at Dodger Stadium against the St. Louis Cardinals.
RELIEF PITCHER: Eric Gagn was the most dominating relief pitcher in baseball over three seasons, saving 52, 55 and 45 games in 158 chances (96.2 %) from 2002-04. Gagn won the 2003 National League Cy Young Award with an amazing 1.20 ERA while going a perfect 55-for-55 in save opportunities. Most impressively, his consecutive saves streak of 84 games, which lasted from Aug. 14, 2002 until July 3, 2004, set a Major League record that may not ever be broken. Gagn also spawned a ninth-inning Dodger Stadium phenomenon, as the Dodger faithful couldn't wait until the first few guitar licks from "Welcome to the Jungle" were played so they could stand up and scream while the Canadian closer charged in from the bullpen to electronic signs that proclaimed "Game Over." Gagn's 161 saves as a Dodger are first in franchise history.
The 2008 season marks the 50th anniversary of the Dodgers' move to Los Angeles. All year long, the club has celebrated their golden anniversary with fans around the world through a series of historical, cultural and promotional events that are unique to Los Angeles and honor the legacy of the franchise and its players and the loyalty of Dodger fans.
Giants 6, Dodgers 5
It's extremely late. I'm extremely tired. And this game meant extremely nothing. I promise to blog more tomorrow. If you care, Dodgers fall to 83-77, their first two-game losing streak since their eight-game losing streak. Snakes won, so they pull within … oh, forget it.

Padres 7, Dodgers 5 … let the celebration begin
Actually, it's pretty well in full swing already. By the time I got to the clubhouse, the smell of champagne already permeated everything. Joe Beimel just told Patrick O'Neal, in an interview broadcast on the DodgerVision board, that the Dodgers "can definitely win it all." The revelry has now spilled from the clubhouse onto the field, giving a chance for the fans who stuck around to join in. Manny Ramirez and Pablo Ozuna just emptied the contents of whatever they could find in the clubhouse — boxes of sunflower seeds, tubs of bubble gum, whatever — onto the folks in the front row. Frank McCourt, who earlier today stressed the importance of the Dodgers actually taking this thing a step farther this year than they did in 2004 and 2006, is now on the big board getting doused by Matt Kemp and Pablo Ozuna. Frank just said, "It's great to have a guy like Ned with the temperament that he has." Read into that whatever you will. If you care, Dodgers fall to 83-76 and still lead the newly eliminated Snakes by four games.
Pitching plans …
… have yet to be finalized, or at least if they have been finalized, no one is talking. Greg Maddux was scratched tonight in favor of Eric Stults, and you're smarter than I am if you can figure out what any of this means: Maddux is now starting Saturday, with Billingsley coming in behind him, and Kuroda is pitching Sunday. It is clear that D-Lowe and Billingsley are the starters for Games 1 and 2, respectively. It would SEEM that Kuroda is now the starter for Game 3. Torre said he might go with three starters because there is a second off-day on Oct. 6, which is between Games 3 and 4. But even then, Lowe would have to start Game 4 on three days' rest, so they might end up going with Maddux in Game 4. Also, don't forget Kershaw. Joe SAID that he hasn't ruled out Clayton as a starter, and Ned Colletti said he is comfortable with Kershaw pitching throughout the playoffs.
Introducing the 2008 National League Western Division champions
That would be your Dodgers. The clincher wasn't that exciting, no walkoff grand slam by Steve Finley or anything like that. It happened just now, when the Diamondbacks lost to the Cardinals. Dodgers won't even take the field for almost five hours. It will be interesting to see what kind of lineup Joe sends up against Jake Peavy tonight. But it really doesn't matter how the Dodgers did it. The fact is, they did it, for the first time in four years and for the 10th time since the inception of divisional play in 1969, and it can be argued that none of the previous nine were as tough as this one. It was less than a month ago, after all, that the Dodgers were all but written off. They had lost eight in a row, including the first game of a critical, three-game series at Arizona, and they were 65-70 and going nowhere. And now, here they are, ready to douse each other with champagne after tonight's game, win or lose. Joe Torre has now won 12 of these things as a manager (10 with the Yankees, one with the Braves and one here), and I can't imagine any of the previous 11 were as challenging or as gratifying as this one will be. It's anyone's guess at this point how long the Dodgers will last in the playoffs. At this point, it's anyone's guess, who they'll play in the first round. But considering where they came from, the simple fact that they have gotten here makes this a season no one will forget anytime soon.
Dodgers 12, Padres 4
NOW are you starting to smell it? I'm just wondering about that sellout crowd that is coming to (they hope) watch the boys clinch tomorrow night. What happens if the boys clinch before the gates even open? The Snakes play at 11:15 our time. That game will be over around two-ish, which is FIVE HOURS before the Dodgers even take the field. Talk about anticlimax. What we learned after the game is that there will be NO team watch party at the stadium. Everybody will just arrive at the usual time. If the Snakes lose, thus clinching the title for the Dodgers, the Dodgers will save their celebration for AFTER their game with the Pods. Except that I'm guessing (Torre didn't say this, I'm just guessing) that if the Snakes lose, the Dodgers will throw something akin to a spring-training split-squad lineup out there against Jake Peavy, which means there is a good chance the Dodgers will lose. And then, after losing, they will go to the clubhouse and douse themselves with champagne. Talk about double anticlimax. What I DID learn after the game is that division title or no, the annual rookie hazing will go on as scheduled for tomorrow night's flight to San Francisco. I'm sworn to secrecy on what the costumes are going to be, but let's just say it's an eclectic mix. The veterans found a costume rental place in South Pas that was going out of business, so they loaded up. … Dodgers go to 83-75 and, if you care, now lead the Snakes by four games with four to go. Tonight will NOT be the Dodgers' last home game of the year. The only way they can blow this now is to lose out while the Diamondbacks win out, then lose to Arizona in a one-game playoff on Monday night at Chavez Ravine, hence at least one more home game.
Penny to 60-day DL, ineligible for the postseason
This clears a 40-man spot for Furcal. Not a huge surprise, as Penny wasn't expected to pitch again anyway, even in the playoffs. Torre said he'll ease Furcal in, probably finding an innocuous situation for him the first time plays (think the late innings of last night's game, when the Dodgers had a nine-run lead). Asked him whether Furcal could start a game and play nine innings, and Joe was non-committal. Said he would have to see how things went.

Pros:Amazing for your PSP. This works on all the outside-ish screws of my PSP 1001 Fat, and should work with the slims, too!
Tiny bit small. Had some tape on the thing when it got here in the bubble mailer, but nothing major at all.
Would have probably bought one if I could have but it will be nice to have two of them just in case. Maybe for a friend!
Get it with SKU 12316 if you will be unscrewing anything on the inside.
One for you, one for your mate? :)
If you have a PSP, you need to buy this. NOW. Go on, chop chop. Add it to your cart. A simple and cheap good decision! Remember, this is for the outside type screws if you have a PSP. For things on the inside, I believe you need the torx one.

Sir Robert John Le Mesurier McClure
Arriving ahead of Collinson at Bering Strait, he decided to continue on alone.
McClure, Sir Robert John Le Mesurier
Sir Robert John Le Mesurier McClure, explorer, adventurer (b at Wexford, Ire 28 Jan 1807; d at London, Eng 17 Oct 1873). McClure obtained a lieutenancy for his 1836-37 service on Terror under George BACK in the ice of Hudson Bay. He served on Sir James Clark ROSS's abortive Franklin rescue mission in 1848-49, and in 1850 was appointed commander of Investigator in the expedition led by Captain Richard Collinson, who was taking 2 ships to the Arctic via Bering Strait. This commission brought McClure fame and success. He proved brave, lucky and inordinately ambitious.
Arriving ahead of Collinson at Bering Strait, he decided to continue on alone. From August to October 1850 he coasted east hundreds of kilometres to Cape Parry, wheeled north to Banks Island and reached and wintered in Prince of Wales Strait, the last link in the fabled NORTHWEST PASSAGE, which he undoubtedly discovered. Sir John FRANKLIN's earlier claim, for which all witnesses were dead, was only discovered by Sir Francis MCCLINTOCK in 1859.
McClure encountered great danger in Prince of Wales Strait and in rounding Banks Island in 1851. He was forced to winter in Mercy Bay and was frozen in. His crew was saved from starvation in 1853 by Captain Henry KELLETT of the Resolute and finally returned to England in 1854. McClure ungenerously informed a parliamentary committee that he could have kept his men alive without Kellett's aid, thereby denying his rescuers a share in the £10-000 voted to the discoverers of the passage. McClure served on the China Station 1856-61 and died a vice-admiral.

I will never go back to another boot
These boots are by far the best boots ever made. I've always loved thirty-two boots but these are definitely my favourite. Yes they are a "stiffer" boot, (7 on the flex scale) but they don't feel that bad. I ride quite a bit of park and powder and they were fine. I do ride a bit softer binding,( Rome 390) and they were a great combination. They were responsive, and could always hold their press. I rode these a lot in powder as well and they were great. Definitely the most comfy boot you can buy, and also the best all around boot ever. I love these boots and I will never go back to another boot.

Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727) realized that if one object applies a force on another, the second object applies the same amount of force on the first object but in an opposite direction. Since these forces are not opposed, they are said to be unbalanced. Unbalanced forces cause the objects they push against to move in the direction of the force. The diagram on the left shows Newton's third law in action. When the boy hits the golf ball with the golf club, the ball is pushed forward, and the golf club is pushed backward. Two forces, A and B as shown, are needed to make these movements. Notice that the arrows for the forces are equal in size, are in opposite directions, and are on different objects. Force A is from the club hitting the ball, and force B is from the ball hitting the club. You can be sure that two forces are action-reaction pairs of forces if the reverse description of one force describes the other. In the figure, the identified action-reaction pair is A/B. The description of force A is "the club pushes against the ball," and the description of force B is "the ball pushes against the club."
What Does This Have to Do with Creating a Balloon Rocket?
If an inflated balloon with an open end is released, the balloon will fly through the air due to the unbalanced forces making up action/reaction pairs of forces. In the diagram below, one set of action/reaction forces (A/B) is shown. Force A is on the balloon due to the gas inside the balloon pushing on the wall of the balloon. Force B is on the gas due to the balloon pushing on the gas inside the balloon. Because of these unbalanced forces, the gas is pushed out of the balloon and the balloon is pushed forward.
Fun Fact
Action/reaction force pairs also make it possible for birds to fly. The wings of a bird push air downward (action). In turn, the air pushes the bird upward with an equal force (reaction).
Real-Life Science Challenge
How does a rocket fly through empty space? Like the balloon, real rockets do not move because the exhaust gas pushes against the ground or air surrounding the craft. Instead, a rocket moves because of the unbalanced forces in action/reaction pairs. That's why rockets move in space where there is nothing for the exhaust gas to push against.
Now, start experimenting with your balloon rocket. What kind of balloon rocket goes the fastest? What kind goes the farthest? What effect do balloon size and shape have on the rocket's flight?
- Design a way to control the direction of the balloon rocket's flight. For example, you could run a string through a straw, then stretch the string between two objects, such as chairs. Tape the balloon to the straw.
- What else can make your balloon go farther, faster, or straighter?

February 4, 1917 - May 19, 2014
Edw. Leo Hittner was born February 4, 1917, in Winona, Minn., the day of the largest snowstorm ever to hit Winona. His dad was a shoemaker and sold Oldsmobiles. In 1928 his family bought a 180-acre farm near Winona. Ed helped his homemaker-mother milk 28 cows every morning and evening.
He attended school in Gilmore Valley through the eighth grade. From 1928 to 1938 he worked the farm. In addition he worked nights and weekends as Deputy Sheriff, watching over dance halls and a tavern. In his spare time he studied and received his pilots license at the age of 17.
In April of 1938, Ed married Emily Lovas in Winona, Minn. From 1940 to 1941, he went to work for Firestone Tire Co. In 1941, Ed joined the Winona Police Department where he worked upon retiring as Assistant Police Chief in 1964. During his 23 years on the force, Ed worked many other jobs: Executive Pilot for the Watkins Company, Flight Instructor for college students interested in being Navy pilots at St. Marys College in Winona, enlisted in the Navy and was on inactive Reserve.
From 1964 to 1970, Ed worked for Murphy Motor Freight Lines, starting as service manager. Ultimately, he was promoted to overall General Manager in charge of service centers and drivers. In 1970 to 1975, Ed retired and began to winter in Miami, Fla. There he opened a bar-catering business, supplying bars and bartenders for parties in the Miami area. In 1976, Ed and Emily moved to Alamo, Texas. They traveled over the country square dancing until she became sick and passed away in 1991. In 1992, Ed met and married Eleen Pierson.
Ed enjoyed golf, fishing, traveling, having visited 56 different countries. Another passion of his was cars. He owned 169 cars in his lifetime.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Leo and Hattie; wife Emily; wife Eleen; sons James and Bruce; brothers Don and John. Ed will be greatly missed by his daughters Gloria (Joseph) Masyga, of Winona, Cheryl Greene, of Calif., Linda Saunders, of Ga.; grandchildren Lori (Pat) Gensmer, Jon (Sue Haddad) Masyga, Pilar Graham, Krisey Banton; great-grandchildren Henry Leo and Natalie Emme Banton, Jordan (Kelsey) Gensmer, Jenna (Ben) Kubis; great-great-granddaughter Sage Ann Gensmer; sister June Roland Major; sister-in-law Margaret Hittner; special friend James Graham; several nieces, nephews and friends.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Monday, June 2, 2014, at 11:00 a.m. with visitation one hour prior at Chapel of Our Lady at Saint Anne Extended Healthcare with Rev. Donald Lovas and Rev. Robert Stamschror officiating. Burial will be held at St. Marys Cemetery. Words of sympathy or remembrance may be left at www.fawcett-junkerfuneralhome.com. Services entrusted to Fawcett-Junker Funeral Home and Cremation Service, Winona, Minn., and Fountain City, Wis. In lieu of flowers memorials preferred to donors choice or the Winona Humane Society.

Solid State Thin Film Battery: Market Shares, Strategies, And Forecasts, Worldwide, Nanotechnology, 2013 To 2019
Traditional lithium-ion (Li-Ion) technology uses active materials, such as lithium cobalt-oxide or lithium iron phosphate, with particles that range in size between 5 and 20 micrometers. Nano-engineering improves many of the failings of present battery technology. Re-charging time and battery memory are important aspects of nano-structures. Researching battery micro- and nanostructure is a whole new approach that is only just beginning to be explored.
Industrial production of nano batteries requires production of the electrode coatings in large batches so that large numbers of cells can be produced from the same material. Manufacturers using nano materials in their chemistry had to develop unique mixing and handling technologies.
The efficiency and power output of each transducer varies according to transducer design, construction, material, operating temperature, as well as the input power available and the impedance matching at the transducer output.
Cymbet millimeter scale solid state battery applications are evolving. In the case of the Intra-Ocular Pressure Monitor, it is desirable to place microelectronic systems in very small spaces. Advances in ultra-low power Integrated Circuits, MEMS sensors and Solid State Batteries are making these systems a reality. Miniature wireless sensors, data loggers and computers can be embedded in hundreds of applications and millions of locations.
Various power factors have impinged on the advancement and development of micro devices. Power density, cell weight, battery life and form factor all have proven significant and cumbersome when considered for micro applications. Markets for solid state thin-film batteries at $65.9 million in 2012 are anticipated to reach $5.95 billion by 2019. Market growth is a result of the implementation of a connected world of sensors.

Pool bathhouse to be remodeled
Visitors to Glen Park Pool this summer might not notice a difference to the bathhouse from the outside. But if they step inside, they will find everything changed.
Tuesday night the City Council awarded a bid for interior bathhouse renovation to Ross & Associates of River Falls and approved a budget adjustment for the project's cost.
Because the bathhouse is a historic structure, the renovations will all be within the existing footprint of the building.

New 10 gallon Walstad setup - Ph rising?
I reset up a 10 gallon tank almost 2 weeks ago attempting the Walstad method. I used existing sand and driftwood over Miracle Grow Organic potting mix. I added some granite rocks I had in another tank. It has twice the plants it did before. My Ph was always 6.8 - 7.0 in this tank and the other the granite came from.
When I first set it up my Ph was 6.4. I figured it was lower than normal from the soil. The water was clear that night, but the next morning a bacterial bloom had begun. I waited it out for a week. By the end if it the water went from milky to dark tea stained. The dark water color is pretty weird. I don't think it is from the soil, as it would have showed up in the beginning. I tested the water again. Everything was at zero (ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates) except the Ph climbed to 7.2. I did a water change, added dechlorinator, and let it sit for 3 more days. Water is clear now. I was going to add my frog, betta, and snail back tonight, but the Ph climbed again to 7.4. My tap water is neutral. My dwarf hairgrass is dying. The other plants seem okay. I am scared to put my critters in the tank with an unstable Ph. They are currently in a 5 gallon tank stripped of plants. Any ideas what could be causing this? The only new thing added is the soil. I will be setting up a 29 gallon tomorrow using this same method, but with river rock decorations instead of granite. I am wondering if I did something wrong. |

I've experienced this myself when using MGOC as a substrate. It seemed that something in the potting mix raised my KH, which raises pH. As long as it doesn't keep going up, I wouldn't worry about it. Fish don't care about pH, they care about general hardness (GH).
Life isn't stone, it's water.

re-sheeting single line or two?
Ok, here is the word from the "Top Brass" on replacing the sheets using a single line or two.
This is the response from Steve Lang the "Nirvana Guru "As for the sheets, there is no reason for the continuous line. In fact it would be better to replace with too separate lines so that one can be replaced easily. " Steve Thanks Steve. Always good to be right! Boomer |
Jun 04, 2011, 05:28 PM | |
Arrr, arrr, arr
Ok, I will use two different lines to operate the two sails. Better? Now I know why they call yous guys, wise guys!! Oh, was able to get my new plane in the air this week. Here are a couple of pictures. It's hard to take a good pictures and fly the plane. Anyway, was able to get two flights in - with no issues. Very cool looking plane. Boomer |
Jun 04, 2011, 11:38 PM | ||
I wish I had started flying sooner, but now that I have, I fly as often as I can. I have a great appreciation for those that fly at these levels. As I mentioned before, sailing is still my favorite part of the RC hobby. I get a lot more time on the water than in the air. Appreciate your sharing this with us. Have to get back to re-sheeting my Nirvana. Been playin around with the airplanes too much. I just picked up small bag of jib counter balance weights at the fishin place. Going to give that a try - l'd like to see if it makes a noticeable difference. Regarding the hardy party days of old, what once was great fun would put me in a comma today. Still enjoy a nip here and there. Boomer |
Jun 05, 2011, 08:51 AM | |
At the local spring float fly-in after one of the pilots became a spectator he went and got his RC Laser. Was enjoyable watching, unfortunately I was taking photo's and had left the Nirvana at home. I know a different class/style of boat but they sure have a lot of mast and keel flex. And cost almost two and a half times as much

Kyrgyzstan: Krygyzstan considers banning girls from traveling abroad
Rights activists in Kyrgyzstan are campaigning against a parliamentary proposal to bar women under the age of 23 from travelling abroad without their parents' consent.
In a country where hundreds of thousands of migrant workers go to Russia and other states every year, supporters of the restrictions say they just want to protect vulnerable young women from the risk of abuse. Irgal Kadyralieva, the parliamentarian who drafted the proposal, told legislators on March 4 that in some cases, the right to free movement had to be outweighed by other considerations.
The Bishkek Feminist Collective SQ is campaigning against a move its members see as unconstitutional and discriminatory on both sex and age grounds. For opponents of the plan, it seems perverse to impose restrictions on young women on the grounds that they are potential victims, not perpetrators of crimes.
Aida Kasymalieva of the Kyrgyz service of RFE/RL told IWPR about the background to this unusual proposal. She has reported on cases where female Kyrgyz migrant workers have been attacked by their male counterparts who accuse them of "loose behaviour". Last year she broke the story of one such assault, on a woman called Sapargul, which was filmed and posted on the internet.

"I had a mailman tell me he doesn't know how Mara got elected, because everyone he talks to says they didn't vote for her," says Bob Mikes, the mayor of adjacent Dania. "What they're really saying is that they didn't vote. Coleman doesn't need to sell himself. He simply needs to get people to the polls who feel disenfranchised by her, which is a big chunk of Hollywood."
Former Hollywood Police Chief Richard Witt, who is currently suing the city for wrongful termination, notes that "Mara has a vision, and that is something that you can both like and dislike about her. That vision is a combination of things: She sees downtown as a sort of cross between Las Olas Boulevard and Coconut Grove. She sees the beach as sort of an extension of South Beach, all very active, glitzy, upscale. She's committed to do whatever it takes to bring that to fruition; and the fact that that vision isn't shared by others in the city doesn't bother her a bit."
Both Witt and Mikes agree that one major stumbling block for Coleman and his unofficial slate is the fact that there are several other candidates in the race, including commission candidates Peter Bober and Julie Sweeten, and the rather mysterious Philip Martin, another mayoral candidate. Because Hollywood has no primary or runoff, just a one-shot, winner-take-all election day, numerous opposition candidates increase the odds of a split vote -- and the reelection of incumbents.
"In my history in Hollywood, it seemed that any time an incumbent had a viable opposition, someone who no one had ever heard of would jump in the race and split the vote," says Witt. "I prided myself that I knew people in the community, but then these unknowns would materialize at election time. You were always left with that quandary -- is this person a kook or is he a spoiler, a stealth candidate, brought in and paid off by an incumbent?"
This time around, opposition candidates are raising their eyebrows at Philip Martin. Martin lives in a battered bungalow in west Hollywood. A brand-new Ford Mustang sits in the driveway next to a child's tree house bearing the spray-painted words "Kick Ass!" State records list two marriages and two divorces, show he has a concealed-weapons permit, and suggest that the source of his income is a telecommunications company with directors based in Tulsa and Dallas. For a mayoral candidate, Martin seems reticent: He didn't return phone calls to his home or campaign treasurer.
None of these things seems to bother Coleman as he finishes a strategy session at Sal Oliveri's house, leaves his fellow candidates and campaign manager behind, and pilots a battered station wagon toward Key Largo. By his own admission, it's the worst possible use of his time right now -- a date at the thirteenth annual Everglades Coalition conference. On the other hand, he'll pick up a few checks from friends in the bunny-hugging world, among them a donation from Col. "Rock" Salt, a former regional chief of the Army Corps of Engineers.
Salt isn't the only high-level federal official Coleman has recruited into his campaign. In a few days, a former campaign advisor to Hugh Rodham's U.S. Senate race will be flying into town to survey the Hollywood election and perhaps lend a hand. Coleman is pals with Hugh and Tony Rodham, the First Lady's brothers; he gets invited to White House fundraisers; and he recently squired Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt around South Florida in his car.
Coleman's links to the top brass and his interest in politics date back to 1962 when he arrived in Florida as chief of an Army detachment charged with planning the invasion of Cuba on the eve of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The invasion never took place, and Coleman returned home to Providence, Rhode Island. During the next two decades, he worked as a schoolteacher, a sales rep for Lipton Tea, and finally as the president of his own consulting firm, the Technical Assistance and Training Corporation.
According to Coleman, he made a lot of money; flew almost constantly among offices in Boston, Washington, New York, Dallas, and Chicago; and lived mainly on steak, scotch and adrenaline. Among other things, the firm advised the Congressional Budget Office on its computers, the state of New Jersey on its vocational education system, and the National Alliance of Business on its management strategies. Six years ago, with two marriages, eight kids, and one heart operation behind him, Coleman took up residence in a rental apartment in the high-rise Presidential Towers on Hollywood beach, intent on lounging around the rest of his life.
Instead he began to run afoul of Giulianti. There was the morning four years ago when he looked out his window and saw a bulldozer illegally rearranging the sand per orders of the city. Later on he embroiled himself in a lawsuit against the city to block its acquisition of North Shore Park from the county. More recently he fought a new strip-mall Burger King on the beach. For weeks leading up to the filing deadline for this election, Coleman, as president of an activist group called Coalition of Hollywood Citizens, tried to recruit an opposition candidate. When none emerged, he says, he drafted himself.

Pretty much. I don't like tabs and mini bridge is slower. So I just drag into my layout.
Hi I have CS6 and I know I can see all of my files (should I choose) in the mini bridge. You have to open up the Bridge first, but then when you start a new layout, you can go to FILE > Browse in...

WOW. I truly appreciate you taking time to come back with your pros and cons. I definitely agree with all your pros, in fact they are most of the main reasons I want to get into doing it.
For now...

T-shirt. Diy Couture Hood ∙ How To by Rosie M. You need to join your hood pieces together in pairs.
Join your two outer hood pieces together first. Lay one piece out flat with the right side of the fabric facing upwards towards you, then lay the other piece face down on top of it. Pin all the way along the long curved edge that will form the 'backbone' of your hood. Folded Miniskirt Tutorial. Difficulty: Intermediate.
It's based on the Drapedrape dress no 7, and it has the same 'what am I looking at here' feel to it. At one point you'll think, 'what a mess' and then it just clicks and you have a beautiful skirt. This click does not seem to happen with everyone, showing from the comments. If you're not sure about it: wait for the pattern! Fabric: One meter/yard is more than enough. Easy DIY bandeau! [Tuto] Jupe-Sarouel Asymétrique toutes Tailles {Enfant & Adulte} How To Make An Easy Dress (For Cheap!) Two facts about me: I'm cheap.
I love dresses. I wear dresses probably 6 days out of the week. It's not that I one day just decided to wear dresses to feel cute and girly. Far from it. Recycled Craft: Fingerless Mittens - Whole Living Live Green. As you burrow back into your cold-weather clothes, you're probably taking stock of your sweater supply.
Here's an option for the ones that are too shrunken or moth-eaten to donate: Turn them into fingerless mittens. They're cozy, chic, and (we promise!) Much easier than you think.
