Subject: EcoGeek News: Solar Ships, Solar Blimps and Hydrogen from Urine
To: evelynsardina@...
Date: Wednesday, July 15, 2009, 6:59 PMThis week's news includes an alternative formulation for automotive tires that uses orange oil in place of petroleum and an alternative method for more efficiently extracting hydrogen using urine.We also want to share a story about a bottled water ban in an Australian town via a Twitter tip. (Thanks @filmgeeknz)Tires Made from Orange Oil Instead of Petroleum
Tire maker Yokohama has begun selling a new type of tire made mainly from orange oil instead of petroleum. The substitution plus the use of natural rubber allows the tires to be 80 percent petroleum-free. The concept for the Super E-spec was introduced by the company a year ago and won the Popular Mechanics Editor's Choice Award in 2008. Beyond just replacing petroleum with a renewable resource, the new tire model has also shown a 20 percent reduction in rolling resistance, which can improve fuel economy by about 4 percentFrench Students Make Solar Blimp
A group of students from technical high schools and engineering schools in France have built a solar blimp that will cross the English Channel by the end of the summer. The students made the craft through Projet Sol'R, an initiative by engineers from INSA Lyon and ESSEC Business School.Pickens Walks Away from World's Largest Wind Farm
After months of delays due to financing difficulties, T. Boone Pickens is walking away from a plan to build the world's largest wind farm in the Texas Panhandle. While money played a large part in the decision, the nail in the coffin came from an announcement that $5 million worth of new transmission lines for wind energy in Texas were not going to be built anywhere near the planned site of the wind farm.Solar-Powered Cargo Ship Debuts in Long Beach
A cargo ship equipped with 328 solar panels is currently docked at the Port of Long Beach, California as a demonstration project by the port, Toyota and shipping company NYK Line. The ship is the first cargo ship to use the sun's power for more than just small electrical applications. The ship, the M/V Auriga Leader, will gather about 10 percent of its electricity needs from the solar panels. While solar panels have been applied to large ships like this before, this is the first example where the solar energy goes directly to the ship's electrical grid. The ship's thrusters, hydraulics and steering gear will all receive power from the sun's rays.New Definition for Biofuels: Using Urine to Produce Hydrogen
Hydorgen seems like a logical choice for fuel - it's energy dense and emits only water upon combustion - but upon closer examination we see that it's extremely expensive to make from water, so all the hydrogen in production today is made from fossil fuels. But Gerardine Botte at Ohio University has figured out an easy and efficient way to break the bonds in urea to produce hydrogen. The process consumes roughly one quarter of the energy needed to electrolyze water. And, yes, the world has a fairly plentiful (and renewable) supply of urea. Maybe not enough to power all our cars, but it's a start.Follow EcoGeek on Twitter (@EcoGeek) and on our YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/theecogeek).

So, I'm going through
The C Programming Language and this quote struck me:
Automatic variables, including formal parameters, also hide external variables and functions of the same name.
The example:
int x;
// x inside of f is different from external f.
void f(double x){}
This strikes me as something which is necessarily true of all languages (and it dates back to Lambda Calc.), and yet it makes it into this book. Is there an example where the most local definition of a variable does not override a more global definition?

I looked forward to this event from listening the the radio show on KUSC 91.5 on Sundays at 6PM. The young artists were, as expected, fantastic and made future radio listening even more meaningful. The seats were up in the highest tier, but sound and sight were decent. The seating, however, is uncomfortable and contributes to our not going to events there very often. The 90 minute live taping was well worth any discomfort.

Just a note....
Apr. 28th, 2007 | 11:54 pm
I decided it was time for a fresh start.
I feel like I've developed and matured as a person quite since I started my old blog 3 years ago. I wouldn't write the sort of posts I wrote 3 years ago any more. Since I don't want what I write and think now to be coloured by what I wrote and thought all those years ago I've decided to dump the old journal.
Plus, I was kind of spooked by a few anonymous comments I got in my old blog. Aside from being terrible netiquette, anonymous commenting is plain weird. Get a life I say.

SkyRide Technology, for proposing a human powered monorail for the UAE. Well, it is awards season, after all.
January 18, 2011 2:22 by shafeer
Getting off the morning metro was actually more difficult today than normal. Why, you so innocently ask?
Why? Well to begin with there were an army of idiotic passengers blocking the exit who refused to let those wishing to get off at the station through. When Kipp elbowed and "Excuse-me-please"-ed our way to the front we were assaulted by the even more idiotic oncoming passengers who wished to board the train (who thought it'd be easier for them to board before others disembark).
Of course, when Kipp finally made it on to the platform (shirt ruffled, tooth missing and hair disheveled, a look only a Dubai Metro veteran can pull off) we then had to make way for the clearly very important passengers who we hope had legitimate reasons for cutting the line to the check-out machine. They were surely headed to meetings and engagements far more pressing than Kipp's.
We don't need to tell you that, when it comes to the Dubai public transport system, common courtesy is dead. And no, Kipp isn't talking about the kind of courtesy that makes one give his or her seat to the elderly or to a pregnant woman – we are just talking about plain old common sense decency. For instance, letting the person in front of you check-out before you do.
And that's why Kipp thinks the award for the stupidest idea of the year so far should definitely go to SkyRide Technology, for proposing a human powered monorail for the UAE.
Do we really need to justify our point of view on this one? Well, okay then. Perhaps some background information might help: SkyRide Technology's Scott Olson (who is also the inventor of Rollerblades, by the way) proposes a monorail with pods which are powered by the pedaling of passengers in the capsules. SkyRide, which has a presence at the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi, is proposing the monorail for tourist areas in Masdar City, though The National does say the company suggests that system could be used at "university and corporate campuses and even for large-scale urban transport."
Large scale urban transport like the Metro. Right; because somehow the same body of passengers who obnoxiously put their interests ahead of everyone else's, the ones who will tread on your feet and elbow you in the ribs to make it to the front, can be counted on to work together to get Kipp from point A to point B?

Hey this could be interesting!
Stupid idea # 2.
We install pedometers on each passenger seat, and credit them/debit them pro-rata for their efforts or lack thereof.
Upon being seated, each passenger inserts their NOL cards onto the pedometer. At journeys end, they remove their NOL card & get to know if they earned credit or need to pay out.

As the name suggests, this cider is matured in old Glenglassaugh whisky casks, which gives it a unique taste – think oak, vanilla and apple. That may sound like a lot to get your head around but give it some time and it will be a firm favourite.

Recent reviews:
March 28, 2015 - I had a pair of the multi-colored ones for about five years that I wore almost every day each winter (putting black fingered gloves underneath for the coldest part of the winter). Last week, I caught the edge of one of the thumbs on something and it started to unravel. Apart from that, those 5 year old ones still look fantastic -- the color and shape really held up well even with the wear I put on them. When I came to the site to reorder more, I decided to order the purple-only ones. They just arrived today and, assuming that these hold up as well as my old ones did, I will like these even better, since they cover more of my hand than the multi-colored ones did (they stopped at the base of my fingers. These come to my knuckles). You won't regret buying these. I promise.
March 3, 2015 - Very good workmanship, very attractive. Good price for alpaca. Warm and useful.
February 27, 2015 - i got the purple for myself & love them. i got the brown for my sister - but she loved my purple ones so i did an exchange. that exchange took only 2 weeks. but these were worth the wait! they are warmer than any other fingerless mitts or gloves i have ever had. & beautiful, as well.
February 26, 2015 - Given as a gift, so I'm afraid I can't speak about their fit or warmth, but they were very CUTE!!! And alpaca is so yummy and luxurious, for such a great price!
December 26, 2014 - Ordered both the brown and the green for my two grandsons, ages 18 and 22. They loved them. Exactly as pictured.

Antique Replica RCA Victor Phonograph Gramophone with Large Gold Brass Horn
Reproduction Antique RCA Victor Talking Machine Gramophone / Phonograph - Dark Pinewood Square Case & Polished Gold Brass Horn - Brand New - Handcrafted - Imported
This replica Gramophone / Phonograph is a beautiful and accurate reproduction of a vintage antique phonograph. It's handcrafted in India using quality pinewood for the box casing, and real brass for the horn. The piece is very similar to, and can actually be compared to, the original Victor Talking Machine Company's RCA Victor Phonograph. The piece comes complete with the "Nipper" (the famous RCA dog) logo decal that has the famous words "His Masters Voice".
It features a crank-handle that turns the internal spring-driven motor playing mechanism, a speed adjustment/control dial, a voice reproducer/sound box, a tone sound arm & elbow, a turntable plate, an extra-large aged bronze metal horn, a playing needle (plus several extra reserve needles), and an early 1900's style 78 RPM record.
Although the manufacture states this phonograph, if assembled correctly, will work and play 78 RPM records, we sell this phonograph as a NON-OPERATIONAL DECORATIVE or DISPLAY PIECE ONLY. Based on our 10-year history selling these units, we've found that not all units will work properly, as such we DO NOT sell this product as an operational phonograph. We sell these units to be proudly displayed alongside any other treasured antique, reproduction, replica, or vintage heirloom piece in your home or office. It is great for theatrical purposes (i.e. theatrical plays, musicals, movies, films, etc.), and often used in museums as a static display. Minor assembly is required.

China Energy-Saving Plan May Benefit Aluminum Makers, CICC Says
Sept. 8 (Bloomberg) -- China's plan to cut energy consumption may benefit aluminum makers as the government is likely to limit production to meet energy-saving goals, according to China International Capital Corp.
Restrictions on aluminum production will support prices of the light metal amid the economic slowdown, analyst Zhang Fusheng wrote in a report today. Aluminum Corp. of China Ltd. will be the biggest beneficiary, it said.

Restaurant was busy, waited too long for drinks and order to be taken. A couple of drinks were wrong when they arrived. Starters were cool! Go for lunch not dinner as you get a much better experience when it's not too busy!

Drink between: 2013 - 2016 (Add My Dates)
Drank at Michaels of Naples on New Year's Eve.
A delicious wine which everyone complements.
Fantastic Burgundy styled chard.
Same a previous
Pretty classic nose. 55-60% new French oak. Palate shows apple, vanilla, butterscotch, pear juice, lemon juice. Finish buttery, not over the top but it's there for sure.

I've noticed that the type of car you build has a huge impact. I'm 28 and I know most model judges that I've seen are nearly twice that age. They tend to appreciate cars they are familiar with more than cars they know nothing of. A beautifully built GT-R or Toyota AE86 aren't gonna draw the attention of a classic or muscle car. Flat colors are the same way, not many people are in to them. I'm building a 1990 Ford Taurus SHO right now. I know that no matter how great it turns out it will never EVER win anything simply because it's a factory stock Ford Taurus. What appeals to you won't always appeal to the judges. There's just too many factors that are out of your control. Build what you like and have fun. That's probably the best advice I can give.
Ummm, I don't think so. I am a little bit more than twice your age, I was the head judge at the L.I.A.R.S. Challenge(until we moved to SC) and it doesn't make a difference to me what kind of car I might be judging- they all get judged by the same standards. You might want to really look at your "factory stock Ford Taurus" to see why you think it "will never EVER win".
I have judged, been judged, went home with four awards for four entries and I have been skunked more than once. I have taken first place in categories in which mine was the only entry(which is kinda embarrassing). I don't know all about judging but I've been on both sides often enough to have heard it all about judges, judging, contest entrants and their entries. In my opinion, judging is purely arbitrary, seemingly heavily influenced by tides, astrology, sunspots, phases of the moon and the state of mind of those judges at that time. IPMS or not, there are no hard and fast rules and regulations that are used by all model contests. Not all contests are judged; some winners are determined by the popular vote of those who did enter that contest or even those who merely were in attendance at that contest.
I once participated in an event at a MASSCAR exhibition called "You Be the Judge." Three teams, with three experienced judges per team, checked out three models to determine 1st, 2nd and 3rd. The results -surprise!!!- differed for each team. Go figure.
I have seen a judge pick up a model (mine) that was displayed on a clear platform which was raised almost two inches above a clean mirror that was larger than the model itself- you could see everything on the model. The entry form that was with the model indicated "Please do not touch". These guys were eating nice, olive-oily NY pizza shortly before judging. Duhhh...
It wouldn't be fair to offer an opinion as to why a model did or didn't do well at any particular contest by photos alone. Photos can change a models true appearance- I've seen the results. The model really needs to be seen up-close-and-personal.
If you really want to know why your model didn't do well at a contest, you should quietly, politely ask the judges. They should be able to explain their decision and advise what you might have done to obtain better results.
One thing I do know is that you need to have your basic modeling skills nailed down. A shiny paint job and all the glittery P.E. stuff available won't compensate for loose parts, sloppy glue application or seams where there should be none.
I don't build just for contests. A majority of my builds are not what would be considered contest-quality, but I enjoyed building them. When I set out to build a contest-quality model, I put my heart and soul into it. I'll make pages of notes, find reference material, amass all components and raw material and put my best effort into the build. If (I realize that) I mess something up, I'll do it again until I get it "right". It works for me, but it's a lot like work.

Delux Easel in Espresso
Brenda from New Braunfels, TX – Verified Buyer
This easel is Easy assembly, sturdy. (And I'm 67 year old great grandmother!) White marker board one side, chalk board on reverse side of A-frame (also side where 18-1/2 inch wide paper roll comes down for water color painting. ) paper roll is included! 2 cup holders for the 2 included cups with lids for paint brushes, etc. Also has open shelf underneath to store whatever,with about 1/2 inch lip all 4 sides. That was unexpected bonus! Perfect height for my 2-1/2 year old great granddaughter? Any child will love this until they outgrow height, maybe 6 to 8 depending on height. Recommend for anyone with children frequently in home.
Neely from Oklahoma City, OK – Verified Buyer
I absolutely love this easel! I love how the paint cups down into the tray in the tray on the bottom for an extra Storage! The reason I gave it four stars it is I would change one thing I would make one of the boards magnetic. I have to tape the paper down when my son paints and it would be so much easier to be able to stick some magnets down there to hold the paper down. You can thread the paper all the way through the tray and it does stay down but it uses an extra 5 inches of paper to do that and since my son is painting 4-5 pictures a day that would be is a lot of extra paper. Besides that I love everything about it the color the usability is amazing!
Very easy to assemble.
Clara from Miami, FL – Verified Buyer
We got this easel for our 4 year old for Christmas. She loves to paint and we figured this would be better than our dining table or floor. This easel is very easy to assemble. It's easier if you have two people so one can help hold up the big pieces. The quality is excellent. I gave it less stars because there are only two paint cups maybe making them a little smaller and have three or four would be better.
White easel
Chloe from Annandale, VA – Verified Buyer
Very pretty and sturdy white easel. My 3 year old loves to paint and draw on it. The chalkboard and dry erase boards are great! we use dry erase crayons and crayola washable markers on the dry erase board and sidewalk chalk on the chalkboard and they clean off well. My only complaint is that the white paint finish of the easel stains easily. When my daughter gets even washable watercolor paint on the trim or tray of the easel a permanent visible darkish shadow is left behind after I clean it. I now line the tray with paper towel to prevent more staining when she paints.
The Perfect Christmas Gift
Joanna from Oklahoma City, OK – Verified Buyer
The Deluxe Wood Easel ended up being our 7 year old daughter's favorite Christmas gift this year. She broke out her paints immediately and camped at her easel for the next few days after Christmas. For any budding artist, I would recommend this piece since it is really well made and a nice piece of furniture that we don't mind keeping out on a regular basis.
Sturdy and Solid Construction
Diane from West Chester, PA – Verified Buyer
Just assembled this for our kids - it will be a Christmas surprise for their playroom! It is super sturdy and well built... fairly easy to assemble too! I bought it in white so that it could fit in with the playroom decor. I also like that it is not plastic or kiddie colors - it will grow with them more. And because you can adjust the height it should be good for years.
Well made!
Haley from Napa, CA – Verified Buyer
My husband and I got this easel for our niece's second birthday. She has not stopped playing with it! It was a hit! We originally were gonna get the white one from pottery barn kids and they sold out. This kid Kraft one ended up being better. I loved how the paper comes down from the top instead of the pbk one rolls out from the bottom. It's very sturdy and came with the 2 cups, an eraser and the roll of paper. She loves it!!! My son might get one too!
Pretty good
amanda from lowell, IN – Verified Buyer
Overall pretty good. Had some scratches on the dry erase board and wayfair replaced it with no problems. Chalk doesn't work very well on the chalk board. The white board doesn't fully erase. Looks great! Sturdy! My son loves it.
Great easel, great quality
Ashley from Odessa, FL – Verified Buyer
My 2 yr old loves her easel! Everyday she colors on it. It's very sturdy, the wood is very high quality. Assembly was quick and easy. If your going to get an easel, you might as well invest in something that's going to last you throughout the yrs-- like this one!
Perfect for toddlers and growing kids
Jennifer from Florida – Verified Buyer
I chose this easel because it seemed to be able to last and it had multiple functions. Our son loves it and in a couple of years, our daughter will enjoy it as well. The dry erase board does not erase well with the dry erasers so I use a damp cloth. Not worth knocking s star off for.

The Hibiscus Beach House at Lewis Bay West Yarmouth, Massachusetts
Additional Location Information
The Hibiscus Beach House is located in West Yarmouth - the heart of Cape Cod. Our MidCape location gives you an advantage in convenience as all of Cape Cod is "Within Reach" - in fact that is the slogan dreamed up by the local Chamber of Commerce. Historic Provincetown is 47 miles east of us,
and Historic Plymouth Plantation (not really part of Cape Cod) is 50 miles to the west. Downtown Hyannis is only 2.5 miles away (free parking info at the house), shop, visit the Kennedy Museum, take a fishing boat, or take a ferry to the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. Enjoy some music at the The Melody Tent, see a play, bike ride, play tennis, visit "hidden beaches" -information at our house. Kayak, go horseback riding, sail, whale watch, seal watch, take the family to an old fashion drive in movie (probably the last one in the country). Go golfing, or minature golf, go bowling, play pool, see a Cape Cod Baseball league game, take the kids to Baseball Camp. Choose from hundreds of restaurants within a 7 mile radius. There is so much to do on Cape Cod that its difficult to name all the activities here, which is why we have created a "Funlinks" page "online" solely for the convenience of our guests. Ask us about it.
Perhaps the number one reason guests come to Cape Cod (besides its quaint charm) are the beaches. Stay at the Hibiscus House, and all of the beaches of Yarmouth, Hyannis, Centerville, Dennis and Harwcih are within a ten mile radius. Yarmouth's main beach "Seagull" is 2.5 miles away, Colonial acres Beach (our local beach) is 4/10th of mile at the end of the street. We find that many of our guests like to visit the National Seashore and Nauset Beach both about a 25 mile drive. We also have a list of dog friendly beaches at our house.
So come for a visit, see some Lighthouses, Windmills & Gristmills, Go birdwatching, enjoy some ice cream, see Cape Cod Potato chips being made. It all waiting for you and at the end of the day when you are "good tired" the Hibiscus Beach House will be your little oasis in a sea of fun.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Despite cooler temperatures and more frequent rains, Kansas wildlife and health officials say it is too early to tell if the more favorable weather conditions will translate into a better spring and summer for state lakes and wildlife populations after years of severe drought.

The impact has stressed Kansas wildlife while reducing recreational opportunities through frequently high levels of blue-green algae at lakes and reservoirs.
"This is going to be a different year entirely, again," said Tom Langer, director of the Kansas Bureau of Environmental Health. "It's difficult to say what will happen. There are a lot of different scenarios."
Blue-green algae create toxic conditions that are harmful to humans and animals, causing a variety of ailments including intestinal illness, respiratory problems and skin irritations.
Langer said the cooler temperatures in March and April suggest that May water temperatures won't be in the 80s and 90s as has been the case in recent years, which caused algae blooms to peak earlier than the normal peak in late July and August.
"It will be here, no doubt, but I would like to see one of those seasons where it doesn't bother us until late August," Langer said.
Ron Kaufman, spokesman for the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, said algae blooms were a problem nationwide in their size and frequency. Increased runoff of nutrients such as fertilizers and other chemicals from farm fields and residential property feed the algae.
"We know that people are concerned about it because of the questions we are getting," he said.
Low water levels at lakes are slowly improving in the eastern third of Kansas following recent rains. But officials said it would be several months before normal levels return. Many lakes are more than 5 feet below normal, leaving boat docks far from the water's edge.
