Style: Judo--
Well, I don't care if the sword is valuable, it's been in the family so long that I'm not selling it. I'm going to continue the tradition and give it to my eldest grandson (if I ever have one) when he reaches 7.
It's a one-handed straight bladed sword, and it was used quite a few times by different ancestors. The blades about 2 1/2 feet long and a couple of inches wide and it used to have such a sharp blade it was kind of scary. My brother has a sabre, though. When we were young and having arguments/fights it would usually degrade into us trying to chop each other up with our respective swords.
Thanks Stolenbjorn, I'll give that site a try, it's definitely worth getting it done professionally.
Bricco, the thing was made for real use, and you can feel it. The whole thing is just sturdy. My brothers sabre is made for show, and you can really notice the difference in feel between the two.

I would really try to polish the blade myself, you might end up damaging the integreety of the blade. You might need to find a place where they do that type of work, and it's useally very expensive.
This site might be helpfull.

He's not going to damage the blade slowly polishing the way Kat advised with emery cloth.
The finish . . . . well . . . . that depends.
I know you said you don't care about the value, but how bad is it, really? Are you afraid you didn't get all the rust? Patina isn't going to hurt it and actually provides a little protection against rust.
Pictures are definitely called for.

Style: wah lum kungfu--
can you take the tsuka off? Is the blade signed, that could give you a lot of insight as to the who, what, when and where. The tsuka should be pined in with either one or two mekugi (wooden pins). Do not use emery cloth or any other over the counter stuff like that; especially if in fact the blade is from the 1400's. There are many sites out there to research from. Do a google Nihonto, you'll get several. I dont know any smiths in the UK but if you were state side I could recommend a few. The blade is called a tachi, one handed, along the mune (back edge of blade) does the kissaki (point) go all the way around from blade to mune or does it stop at the point? Here's some terminology that you find,
Tsuka - The Handle
Tsuka-Ito - The braid for wrapping the handle.
Mekugi - The pin which holds the handle to the sword.
Tsuba - The handguard.
Fuchi - The cap at the end of the tsuka where it meets the tsuba.
Kashira - The pommel at the end of the handle.
Sageo - The cord used to secure the sword to the obi (belt).
Saguri - the ornament which helps secure the scabbard when drawn.
Kurikata - The knob through which the sageo is passed.
Same - The ray skin which wraps handles under the tsuka-ito.
Mune - The back of the sword.
Kissaki - The point of the sword
Boshi - The shape of the temper in the point.
Yokote - Line separating the point from the sword.
Shinogi - The ridge line running the length of the blade.
Shinogi-Ji - the part of the blade between the Shinogi and the Mune (back) of the blade.
Yakiba - the tempered edge of the blade
Ha - The cutting edge of the sword
Ji - The area between the Shinogi-ji and the Yakiba
Nakago - The tang of the blade.
Nakago-Jiri - the end of the Nakago.
Mune-Machi - The notch on the back of the blade to stop the Habaki (Collar).
Ha-Machi - The notch on the cutting edge of the blade to stop the Habaki.
Mei - The makers signature.
Mekugi-Ana - The hole in the Nakago for the Mekugi.

2003 Honda Accord Q&A
2003 Honda Accord Question: Driver Door Panel
How do you remove the driver door panel to access the inside? - wes_1
Answer 1
Remove the electric window master switch it has a hidden philips screw just below the switch panel at 90 degrees to the door. the switch panel is then gently pried out of the door panel . Remove the small trim panel behind the lever that opens the door from the interior of the car, once the trim is removed loosen the philps screw that is now exposed. The door panel is then gently pried away from the door frame and lifted upward to clear the door frame, disconnect any exposed electrical connections exposed, disconnect the door lock linkage. - patrick mannion

VDOT to replace Prospect Bridge
- Details
- Last Updated on Wednesday, 02 March 2011 14:59
- Published on Wednesday, 02 March 2011 14:59
- Hits: 696
The 58-year-old Prospect Bridge on state Route 621 is going to be replaced. No construction dates have been established, but Virginia Department of Transportation has announced its intention to conduct an informational session on Wednesday, March 30.
Billed as a public hearing, the session will run 4-7 p.m. in A.T. Johnson auditorium. Residents will be able to review the proposed project plans and the National Environmental Policy Act documentation.
During the March 30 hearing and informational session, private citizens will have an opportunity to deliver oral or written comments on the bridge replacement project.
The deadline for contributing input is April 13, 2011.
During this Monday's Westmoreland County Planning Commission meeting, Zoning Administrator Robert Fink alerted members of VDOT's intention to move forward with the Prospect Bridge replacement project.
Fink noted that the recently adopted Comprehensive Plan supports the project. "It's not a good condition bridge," Fink told the commissioners.
According to Fink, the replacement bridge will be constructed in the same location as the 1953 structure, necessitating a detour that may affect delivery of emergency services for an undisclosed duration. Fink additionally advised that construction dates have not yet been established.
A Jan. 14, 2011, Department of Transportation web posting cites the allocation of $482,325 to support the Prospect Bridge replacement project.
Additional information was gleaned from a Virginia Department of Historic Resources Reconnaissance Level Survey document that lists the condition of the bridge as "poor."
"VDOT Bridge #6005 carries Prospect Hill Road over the Nomini Creek in the southeastern portion of Westmoreland County," the narrative begins.
"The bridge is a typical stringer/multi-steel beam structure with a concrete deck. The design is a typical bridge design used across the Commonwealth during the mid-twentieth century. The bridge is 424 feet long and 24 feet wide and currently has a sufficiency rating of 44.0/100.
"[In 1953] the concrete bridge replaced a wooden bridge that was set on pilings. During the construction of the current bridge, the alignment of the Route 621 approaches were shifted to the east."
On Jan. 19, 2011, VDOT Environmental Specialist John Chiles advised County Administrator Norm Risavi of recent efforts to move the project forward, evaluating the environmental impacts of the proposed replacement.
"In accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act and other federal and state laws, environmental studies assessing the project's potential impacts will be documented in Categorical Exclusion for this project," Chiles wrote.
"The proposed project is intended to replace a structurally deficient bridge that has a rating of 44.9 out of 100. The bridge approaches will be widened to two 11-foot travel lanes and two 3-foot shoulders.
"The proposed bridge will be 470 feet long and 33 feet wide and on the same general horizontal and vertical alignment. Approach work will be minimal, and no more than 800 feet on each side of the bridge.
"VDOT is proposing to close this bridge during construction, requiring traffic to detour on alternative routes with an estimated detour of 6.8 miles."

Local Liberal Democrats gave their support for the lobby of government on Calderdale's 'ask' for help with reducing carbon emissions, extending renewable energy, developing sustainable integrated transport, reducing fuel poverty by improving affordable warmth.
"We've come a long way with the work done by Calder Energy Future over the last few years" says Liberal Democrat Group Leader, Cllr Janet Battye. "This is now a strong working group with active involvement from enthusiastic people across all areas of the community, including businesses.
"But the challenge is so significant that it can't be met without real and tangible support from government, so I'm delighted that we're being represented in this national lobby.
"I'm sorry to hear that it's likely that only one of our newly elected MPs will be there. I understand that although the date was fixed with Craig Whittaker before the election, he may be too busy to participate in it. This issue is important to many local people so I hope that it's important to him and that he will represent us."

The draft hasn't happened yet. There are still mini camps to be held. We have to get through a full preseason. Injuries can still happen. Even with all of that, don't tell me you haven't gone though the 49er's schedule week by week and predicted how the team will finish! I did too, and I decided to write about it. So here it is, a way too early prediction on the 49er's 2013 record.
Week 1: vs. Packers (W)
For the second year in a row, the 49ers will open up against the Packers. A matchup with Green Bay always used to scare me. Other than the "Catch II" the Packers handled the 49ers quite easily during the Brett Favre era. Even now, the Packers arguably have the best player in the NFL in Aaron Rodgers and because of that can beat any team on any given day. But that didn't matter last season, and you almost feel like it's the 49ers who now have the upper hand. In a statement victory to open the season in '12, the Alex Smith led 49er's dominated the Pack in a 30-22 win (the game was not as close as the score). People wondered if they could beat them twice in the same season when the two went at it again in the divisional round of the playoffs. The only difference this time was the 49ers had an inexperienced quarterback behind center. That difference didn't matter as Colin Kaepernick had a video game like performance with 444 yards of total offense and 4 total touchdowns in a convincing win. The Packers will still put up points but I don't think they can keep up with the 49ers. The Niner's defense will be good enough to get stops when then need to and the 49ers get the win at home. Everyone starts to think the 49er's have the Packer's number.
Week 2: @ Seahawks (L) *Sunday Night
The 49ers were absolutely manhandled last year when they traveled to Seattle. In a 42-13 loss, one of the most physical, dominant teams in the NFL got dominated in every aspect of the game. The 49ers were in a tough spot though. They had played a wild game at New England the week before. It was their second straight prime time game on the road. They were without Justin Smith. This game screamed "loss" before it even happened. I don't think it will play out that way this time around but I'm still going with Seattle here. The Seahawks will pull this one out in a tight battle.
Week 3: vs. Colts (W)
In a game that will reunite Andrew Luck with his college coach, Jim Harbaugh, the 49ers will get a first hand look at the best young quarterback in the game. Luck took a rebuilding franchise and finished 11-5 in 2012. Even with their offseason additions, I think the Colts take a small step back this year. The Colts can hit a few big plays down field, but their defense will not be able to contain the 49er's running game or Colin Kaepernick. The 49ers pull away at the end here and comfortably get the win.
Week 4: @ Rams (L) *Thursday night
Some teams just have your number. The 49ers were immensely more talented that the Rams in 2012 and still went 0-1-1 against them. Sure Alex Smith got hurt in the first game. Sure Kaepernick made a bonehead play (which is rare) in the second game. They still could not pull out wins. This time around, the 49ers will have to travel on a short week. Couple that with that fact that, for whatever reason, the Jeff Fisher Rams give the 49ers fits and it could be a recipe for trouble. The 49ers lose another low scoring, frustrating game and (at 2-2) the national media talks all week about "what's wrong with the 49ers?" Everyone is worried about falling below .500 with the Texans looming.
Week 5: vs. Texans (W) *Sunday Night
On the big stage in a what turns out to be a big game for thee 49ers, they win big against a scary Texans team. The Texan's rely a lot on their running game and hope that can set up the play action pass. With the 49er's being so difficult to run on, they won't get much going offensively. This game will get out of hand quickly after a couple of Matt Schaub interceptions and the 49ers get a big win that will let their fans take a deep breath.
Week 6: vs. Cardinals (W)
The Cardinals will have a new coach in Bruce Arians and a new quarterback in Carson Palmer. It won't matter. Arians likes to throw the ball down field and while Palmer has a big arm, he's a statue back there. The 49er's defense will have a field day with a sub par Arizona offense line and make Palmer actually wish he stayed in Oakland. Having a good defense won't matter for the Cards as Michael Crabtree will continue to own Patrick Peterson and the 49er's come away with an easy win.
Week 7: @ Titans (W)
The 49ers play the first of back to back road games against a Titans team that will be undermanned against San Francisco. Jake Locker and Chris Johnson won't be able to put up enough points in a game the 49ers should win going away. The Titans don't have the weapons on the outside to threaten the Niners. This is a bad matchup for Tennessee and a talented 49er's squad will be too much for them, even at home. The only hiccup I can see here is if the team is looking ahead to traveling to London the following week.
Week 8: @ Jaguars (W) *In London
The 49ers complete the sweep of the AFC South in only half a season by trouncing one of the worst teams in the league. On paper (and I know they don't play the games on paper) this is a mismatch in every sense of the word. The 49ers have one of the deepest, most talented rosters in the league. The Jags have Blaine Gabbert.
Week 9: Bye
Week 10: vs. Panthers (W)
I think this game is going to be tricky. The Panthers really underachieved last season but finished the year winning 5 out of 6 and could be a surprise team in 2013. This game will be billed as Kaepernick vs. Newton as the two young and exciting quarterbacks square off. The 49ers would look to be safe at home coming off a bye but it won't be a traditional "bye" because of the London trip. I see this as a close game the 49ers pull out late. Circle this one though, it could be a loss no one sees coming.
Week 11: @ Saints (L)
With Sean Payton back, the Saints will be back. Drew Brees and company will be on a mission in 2013 and I think they get a little revenge against the 49ers in this game. The 49ers rode a couple of defensive scores to a win in 2012 and that could get reversed here. The 49ers offense makes a couple of rare mistakes as they drop their 3rd game of the season in the dome.
Week 12: @ Redskins (W) * Monday Night
This game will get a ton of hype as Kapernick squares off with RGIII in a matchup of the "future of the quarterback position." With Griffin trying to return from a major injury, I think this is going to be a frustrating year for the Skins. Not everyone is Adrian Peterson and I don't think the Redskin's offense can be nearly as effective as last year. The 49ers did have some issues with mobile quarterbacks in 2012 (see Russell Wilson and Christen Ponder) but this will be a game they win against a Washington team that is looking for answers at this point in the season.
Week 13: vs. Rams (W)
The 49ers finally get a win here against Fisher and the Rams. They are at home and over due to break out at this point. The offense will show a few new wrinkles and finally get some big plays against St. Louis. They win this game comfortably after playing the Rams almost even for the last 3 games.
Week 14: vs. Seahawks (W)
The 49ers get back to back retribution against a Seattle team that is far worse on the road. The Seahawks are a great home team but may have been slightly overrated overall because of their road record. In the regular season, they were 3-5 on the road in '12 (one of those games was at a neutral site in Toronto). In the playoffs, they barely won a road game against the Redskins who were playing with a quarterback on one leg. They made a great comeback at Atlanta but other than a late flurry had their doors blown off. Until the Hawks can prove to be a threat on the road, I'll always go San Fran here at home.
Week 15: @ Buccaneers (W)
This is the same Bucs team the 49ers beat 48-3 in 2011, right? Not quite, they have a new coach in Greg Schiano and have upgraded their talent considerably. I think Doug Martin, Carl Nicks, and Vincent Jackson can make this a closer game but I'll still take the 49ers in this one. Tampa Bay has a good defense, but it won't be able to contain a 49er's offense that is starting to really click.
Week 16: vs. Falcons (L) *Monday Night
Atlanta is going to come into this game looking for payback. I don't care if they are 14-0 at this point, they'll want to beat the team that kept them from the Superbowl. Tony Gonzalez will be back. They have the powerful Steven Jackson finally playing with a contender. Julio Jones and Roddy White abused the 49er's secondary and Jones is only getting better. Even with a healthy Justin and Aldon Smith, I'll go with Atlanta getting an emotional road win on Monday night to close down Candlestick.
Week 17: @ Cardinals (W)
With 4 losses, the 49ers may need this game for either a bye or even the division. The Cards could not come at a better time. It's always possible Arizona could surprise everyone and be contending at this point but I'll go on the assumption that Palmer is out of commission by now and this is another walk in the park for the Niners. The 49ers outscored the Cards 51-16 in 2012. I'll say that combined score looks quite similar by the end of 2013.
Final Record: 12-4

A way too early prediction of the 49er's 2013 record

By: ddmurDate: Wednesday, April 24, 2013 at 12:59 PMComment: Ok, let's assume that the 49ers do not go 12-4. If you were offered a bet on one side that said that they niners would go 11-5 or worse or 13-3 or better, is there anyone who would put a substantial amount of money on 11-5 or worse? Virtually anyone will take 13-3 or better. There are a lot of games on this list that were being awarded to our opponents that the odds makers are going to make us the favorites. In fact, it may well be the case that only in the second week of the season that we will not be favored. That said, last season we laid eggs against both the Vikings and the Giants. In my view, those were the two games, especially the Giants game, that costs Alex Smith his job. If Kaepernick had played those games, I think we win at least one of them. While no one would be so foolish to predict a 14-2 record, none of us would be shocked if that happened.
By: GonzolaDate: Monday, April 22, 2013 at 8:23 PMComment: Sorry to spoil it for all you, but once again 13-3. Only losses will come from the Seahawks, unnamed AFC team, and they might give the game to the Falcons OR lose the opener to GB (oops). AFC sucks, but against the niners they will pull one out - complete surprise. Seahawks will win at home if they have to cheat and we as niners are OK with that because they are not Superbowl bound. We will give the game to the Falcons to avoid last minute injuries and to jockey into the RIGHT position in the post-season. We will lose only the games we intend to lose - not one more. But what do I know?! 16-0 BABY!
By: PaulDate: Monday, April 22, 2013 at 10:33 AMComment: The Rams are probably going to be worse. They don't have Jackson or Amendola to hurt the Niners. The Saints have a horrible defense, and I don't see them getting done.
By: Jose RiveraDate: Monday, April 22, 2013 at 10:22 AMComment: I just want to thank you for putting a jinx on our team!!! NO MATTER WHAT (nothing else to write about) YOU HAVE TO RESIST LOOKING AHEAD! I'm not superstitious but the injury bug in the NFL and we've avoided it somewhat, is what makes or breaks seasons. Now that you wrote this, I hope we avoid them!!!Response: You're not superstitious but you're worried about a jinx based on this article? It's all in good fun...injuries will happen whether people write about it or not. The Smiths getting hurt may have cost the team the title last season. Here's to an injury free 2013!
By: LadaleDate: Monday, April 22, 2013 at 3:56 AMComment: The 49ers sit in the best position in the draft. At 31 and 34 quarterback needy teams are going to want to reach back into the latter 1st round or top of the second to get the signal callers or guys the covet. 9ers could get a 1st next season and still dominate the 2nd and 3rd rounds this season.
By: DavidDate: Sunday, April 21, 2013 at 3:58 PMComment: I think we sweep rams and seahawks , harbaugh will not let carroll nor fisher win one of these , infact instead of preparing all off season for packers I think harbaugh and company will be preparing for week 2
By: BWDate: Sunday, April 21, 2013 at 12:34 PMComment: 13-3 is realistic. "Revenge" doesn't win football games, talent and execution do. David Akers two missed FG's against the Rams in OT kept the 49ers from consecutive 13-3 seasons, and SF will be better this year now that Kaepernick gets the full reps in training camp as a starter.
By: Zach AmeenDate: Saturday, April 20, 2013 at 7:42 PMComment: I doubt that 49ers going to loose against Rams in either game. Arizona may give them a surprise. As as Sea-hawks goes, 49ers will be there with their full strength, I doubt it it would be a easy walk for Seahawks, 49ers will come prepared, motivated and fresh to beat Seahawks. The 49ers will beat Sea-hawks in both games. Read option won't work every time. It is going to be a very physical game. I want to see that how Davis will going to take this game after getting hit hard last year.

Film on eelgrass:
Hela Västra Götalands Västerhav: Övergödning
I am interested on interactions between benthic organisms and hydrodynamics (waves and currents) combining field experiments, flume measurements and numerical modelling. I am currently developing techniques for large scale restoration of eelgrass (Zostera marina) ecosystems in Sweden. My aim is to obtain basic ecological knowledge on seagrass ecology from seed harvesting, seed storage, germination, seed planting techniques and root development of seedlings. I am also interested on the effect of waves and currents on seagrass distribution from seeds and seedlings to large meadows and the effect of seagrass canopies on flow and wave propagation.
• Seagrass restoration using seeds and seedlings
• Wave energy and seagrass distribution
• Wave damping by submerged seagrass meadows
• Drag forces of flexible seagrass canopies
I am part of the ZORRO (Zostera Restoration, www.gu.se/zorro) that focus on restoration of seagrass in Sweden. The ZORRO group consists of marine ecologists, environmental legal scholars and economists from Gothenburg University with the goal to improve the environmental status of shallow coastal ecosystems through the development of new methods for the management and restoration of seagrass habitats in Sweden.

"Open the Door to Slovakia!" Bratislava by yooperprof
Bratislava Travel Guide: 2,028 reviews and 4,581 photos
Bratislava is only 45 minutes from Vienna, but it feels much further away than that. More than the other cities I visited in east Central Europe - Prague and Gyor - Bratislava retains many markers of its recent communist past. Not that that is entirely a bad thing! Bratislava is a city of considerable charm and beauty, and I was glad that it wasn't overrun by the kind of tourists who visit a place just because they've heard about it on MTV.
Bratislava is a city with beautiful things abounding in the streetscape. An old building in the center of the city has been made into a kind of outdoor gallery, as artists have created a series of paintings for what would have otherwise been abandoned and forlorn windows. Kudos for this creative use of space!
Bratislava also has another form of public art - graffiti - in abundance. It's strikingly evident on the "New Bridge", the futuristic link between the fascination historic city center and the drab, mechanistic worker-suburbs on the south side of the Danube. For more of my idle musings on urban alienation, the suburbs, and the grafitti, look at my pages on the New Bridge itself in the "general tips" sections as well as some reflections on graffiti in "local customs".
- In a nutshell:Only an hour from Vienna, but it's a different world

Any luck finding Slovak beers in the US? The only one I've ever seen in Canada is Golden Pheasant (Zlaty Bazant), and that's only in select beer stores mostly in areas with large European populations. It's a nice beer though.
Im flying to Budapest tomorrow & will stop by Bratislava a few days later, your pages are great, together with the forum replies helped me so much to prepare my trip , I cant wait to be there & will surely add my pix afterwards....
great page and tips...thanks for sharing!!
an interesting page and many great pics, I did not yet see on other pages ! I love these various signposts !
Wonderful photos. I am thinking a paying a visit next year.
Wonderful Bratislava insights. Slovakia is one of my favorite places on earth.
I appreciate your detail of the "pulse of the place"; you are quite observant. Loved the caryatids..I always look for them. Your knowlege of architectual style is excellent. A joy to read your observations, Chet.
Neat tips on Bratislava, I agree with your local customs tips, but maybe I should have stayed longer than I did and unearth more of this interesting city. Cheers
I am just back from a few days in Bratislava and I really enjoyed the city. Your excellent page brings back many memories ... Thank you! :o)
I propose that VT send youper and richiedisc on a fact finding mission to Slovakia. We need more information on the beers!

I exercise about 4 times a week and try to eat right (with "bad for you" allowances from time to time… everything in moderation). I believe in mutual respect and open communication.

Andre Waters, Dave Duerson, and Junior Seau. All NFL players. All of these players who took their own lives and everyday those names are repeated by Leroy Hoard. He considers himself "one of the lucky ones". As a fan, and even speaking personally, you enjoy hearing hard hits coming through the screen. You love to see Ray Lewis knock someone down, but at what cost are we enjoying this? As of late the NFL has been experiencing a string of lawsuits from the behalf of 2,000 unified NFL athletes, who have alleged that the NFL has failed to acknowledge and address the neurological risk associated with the sport and then deliberately failed to tell players about the risks they faced. There are more than 80 pending lawsuits against the NFL. Spending 10 years in the league, Leroy Hoard who was known going right through you and right to the goal line. Since his retirement from football Hoard has been suffering from depression and memory loss, he even noted in the video that he just sits in the dark, even for three hours at a time. Not many players come forth and give face to what they are going through but ex-NFL RB Leroy Hoard did just that, giving an interview to ESPN's "Outside The Lines", Hoard takes you on a journey of what has becomes his life and what the future holds for him and his family. Watching this really gives the fan a look at life after football. When the cameras are gone, the awards, and the uniform, you no longer see a player but a person. When Hoard says "The same thing thats killing me is saving me" you're speechless. What do you do when the one thing you love is killing you? This story really touches you in more ways than one and brings you to the reality that not everything is perfect when you walk off that field.

For first element see chase (v.), for second see pullet. In lieu of taxes they would confiscate poultry. Later in English more specifically as "a sheriff's officer whose duty was to make arrests for debt." Cf. Old French chacipolerie "tax paid to a nobleman by his subjects allowing them and their families to shelter in his castle in wartime."

RICHLAND -- Bit by bit here, another remnant of the Cold War is being chopped up and carted off to the proverbial dustbin of history.
Since December, crews have been demolishing the water treatment facilities that helped cool one of Hanford Site's largest reactors. The project is being accomplished years ahead of schedule thanks to $17.6 million in Recovery Act funds, said Geoff Tyree, U.S. Department of Energy spokesman.
A media tour Wednesday allowed a last look at the sprawling facility that provided the K West Reactor with cooling water as it produced plutonium for the nation's nuclear arsenal. The complex was one of two identical "jumbo" reactors built alongside the Columbia River during the Korean War as part of a $4 billion expansion of the Hanford Site, according to historian Michele Gerber.
Both the K West Reactor and its sister facility, the K East Reactor, have been shut down for decades. The K West Reactor went dark first in 1970 and the K East facility followed it in early 1971. Both will eventually be "cocooned" and the structures surrounding them, such as the water treatment facility, completely removed as part of the effort to clean up Hanford, which is one of the nation's most contaminated nuclear sites.
When the K West Reactor was operating, coolant water was pumped from the Columbia River at a rate of 140,000 gallons a minute through a pair of 5-foot diameter pipes to the 29,000 square-foot sedimentation basin. After being treated with chemicals to inhibit corrosion, it was sent through the reactor and then discharged back into the river.
In its day, the reactor's water treatment plant could filter about 300 million gallons a day, said Ray Larson, facility manager with contractor CH2M HILL. By comparison, the city of New Orleans uses about 125 million gallons of water a day, he said.
The basin at the K East Reactor today remains filled to provide water for firefighting, dust control and other uses. But the K West basin has been drained and is now being carved up by pincer-equipped excavators capable of cracking apart the basin's 18- to 24-inch thick reinforced concrete walls. Soon to follow will be dismantling of the pipe tunnel holding the massive supply lines as well as other structures.
Although the area around the silent reactors today is covered with a welter of equipment, containers, offices and other structures, the view in a few years will be much different, Tyree said. When the cleanup work is done, the only things remaining will be the entombed reactor cores and well heads used to monitor and support pumping out contaminated groundwater.
"By the end of 2015 what we expect to see here is desert," he said.

30 year old woman | West Jordan, UT, USA | Seeking men 28-37 within 25 miles
Oy vey!
I'm a proud mom of two amazingly active kids. They mean absolutely the world to me, with that being said you can imagine my life being busy with activities and tons of patience. So someone who is understanding about children and the value/dedication it takes to raise them. Family and friend values play an important part in my life! Getting along with them is a must! When I'm not a mom I work as a Dental Assistant/Hygiene. I find that giving my time working with people of all background has helped me become the woman I am today! I dislike any negativity, yes...there comes a time when not everyone can be a peach but seriously everyday can ruin a person quickly. I would like to find a guy who has loads of patience, understanding, kind, honest, loyal...this is big! Someone down to earth, tries his best at being his best, has humor. The joys of sharing laughter...it's nice! On a lighter note, I'm an easy going gal, I do have fun. I respect myself, have class and morals. I enjoy snowboarding/ice skating when there's snow or its cold out...oh and cuddling! During summer I find myself around water...swimming, boating, wake boarding, jet skiing/wave running. I could go on and on but I'll leave the rest for later conversations.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout was a unanimous selection as the American League Rookie of the Year award, which was announced Monday. In the vote of the the Baseball Writers' Association of America, Trout easily beat out two foreign-born players -- Rangers starter Yu Darvish and A's outfielder Yoenis Cespedes. Trout is also a contender for the AL MVP award, which will be announced on Thursday. Trout, who turned 21 in August, was called up three weeks into the season, and he finished second in the AL in batting average (.326), first in steals (49) and runs (129), third in on-base percentage (.399) and third in slugging (.564). He also had 30 homers and 83 RBIs.

Coaches react to Summitt's milestone victory
Chronicle Staff | February 5, 2009
Photo By Texas A&M AthleticsTexas A&M coach Gary Blair, right, shakes Tennessee coach Pat Summitt's hand before their 2008 NCAA Elite Eight matchup in Oklahoma City last April.
What Pat Summitt and others had to say about the Tennessee coach's reaching 1,000 career victories on Thursday night:
``It's a hard number to even comprehend. It's a time to reflect on a number of things - the (Tennessee) administration saying yes to women's basketball and giving us an opportunity to play on the biggest stage in the women's game. I appreciate that.''
PAT SUMMITT, Tennessee women's coach
``The fact that Pat Summitt is the first college basketball coach to win 1,000 games comes as no surprise to me. She is the benchmark against which most coaches measure themselves. As a player for her on the 1984 Olympic team and a coach who has coached against her as both an assistant and a head coach, I respect her immensely. She has done so much to advance our sport, and this milestone is just another proof of that."
KIM MULKEY, Baylor women's coach
``The way she has accomplished this feat is nothing but incredible. Over the years, she and her teams have been consistently good, and they challenge themselves by playing the toughest teams in the country. Throughout her years, Pat has grown along the way and adapted her style to fit her players. It's truly an incredible feat that has been met with Pat's undying class and grace.''
GAIL GOESTENKORS, Texas women's basketball coach
``There are a lot of records out there that will be broken someday, but I believe that this could be one that stands the test of time.''
JODY CONRADT, former Texas women's basketball coach
``Pat has helped build the women's game from the ground up. What separates her from a lot of the great ones is that she gives back to the game in several ways. She can walk into a room and make everyone from the junior high school coach and on feel important. Put her on the court, though, and Pat, Geno (Auriemma) and Leon Barmore are the most competitive coaches I've ever faced.''
GARY BLAIR, Texas A&M women's basketball coach
``Think of all the practices, all the tape, all those games. It's amazing to grasp the idea of 1,000 wins. She is a tremendous coach, not just for how well she coaches the game but because she is classy and shows a lot of character. She has brought so many fans and a lot of respect to this game with everything she has done. I'm a huge fan and follower, and I'm humbled to even speak of her accomplishments.''
ANN ROUBIQUE, Cy-Fair girls basketball coach
Chronicle staffer Joseph Duarte contributed to this report.

Venom Vision: Expanded replay a good step
For years baseball has gotten a bad rap for being too slow. Personally, I love the fact that the sport is inherently strategic-based, a methodical process played out over nine innings, or if you're the Arizona Diamondbacks, more like 13 or 14 innings.
But those same critics have also been up in arms for how the game is being umpired, as well.
So finally Bud Selig and Co. are responding.
This past week, Major League Baseball proposed to allow each manager one challenge between the first and six innings, and two more over the remainder of a contest -- with all calls being reviewed back at headquarters in New York City.
While the proposal still needs to be voted on by the owners, the MLBPA and the umpires union come November, the MLB deserves to be lauded for being receptive to expanded replay.
To those who will probably use this as another reason to throw their hands up in disgust, it's time to be quiet. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
I'd prefer a league that respects the integrity of its product over one that caters to a fan base of people who want their sporting events to fit conveniently within a two-hour time frame.
It's not the perfect upgrade and there will still be bumps in the road I'm sure, but if this latest proposed measure prevents Jim Joyce, Angel Hernandez and Jerry Meals from becoming the story, that's a great thing.
