Watch An Interview With Web Designer, Miriam Ellis
Tuesday 10 Feb 2009
I was recently contacted and interviewed by Laura Leopard of Leopard Solutions, a legal resources firm in New York. Laura had read an article of mine that was nominated for the 2008 SEMMYs, Seeing With Web Designer Eyes: 9 Evident Errors and she felt this would make a great basis for a screencast interview with me.
Looking at websites in her own industry – the legal industry – Laura found plenty of examples of common errors in design, and I hope you will enjoy the 2-part screencast that resulted from our interview.
It was a pleasure to give this interview, and I hope the screencast will be helpful to Leopard Solutions' clientele as they strive to publish professional websites that truly act as assets to their firms.
If, after watching the interview, you feel the time has come to begin improving your website, I'm ready to put my eyes on your project! Please, feel free to contact me at your convenience.

Intel is expected to declare Tuesday that its Virtualization Technology (VT) is mature enough for testing and about three months away from prime time. But AMD, whose rival "Pacifica" technology won't debut in processors until midway through this year, is trying to set its own technology as a standard for virtualization of computer communications, an element not present in Intel's VT.
The two chipmakers are seeking the advantage in the strategic virtualization area. Mainstream servers using x86 processors such as Intel's Xeon and AMD's Opteron are getting features once reserved for high-end mainframes or Unix machines that let them run multiple operating systems simultaneously. That technology is timely, as well: It's one important way to keep at bay the problems of increasing electrical power consumption .
Intel's newest high-end Xeon processors--code-named Paxville --shipped with VT, but server makers employing the chip didn't enable the feature. Now, with new BIOS software available from Dell, Hewlett-Packard and IBM, that's changing, said Lorie Wigle, director of marketing for Intel's Server Platforms Group.
"We feel we're at critical mass in terms of having both software and computer maker support far enough along that IT departments can start to evaluate the technology," Wigle said. "We're at the stage where people should start their pilot with a notion of moving to production in a quarter or so."
VT will extend to more widely used chips for dual-processor servers with the release of Dempsey systems in coming months. And Itanium will get the support with "Montecito," delayed but due later this year. AMD's virtualization will arrive in mid-2006 with the "Rev F" version of its Opteron.
Software support for VT is in the new VMware Server , Wigle said, a newly free package that lets a computer run several operating systems simultaneously in partitions called virtual machines.
VT is required to run 64-bit operating systems on the software. In addition, an open-source VMware competitor called Xen uses VT to let an operating system run without having to be modified. That enables Windows to run on Xen .
Virtualization is a broad term that in general describes how one computing element can run atop a virtual foundation rather than the real thing it expects. The virtualization foundation lets hardware be used at higher capacity and lets software be reconfigured more easily.

This is a Continuation-in-Part of application Ser. No. 08/371,502, filed Jan. 11, 1995 now abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention pertains to a cup for holding beverages such as coffee or the like. More particularly, this invention pertains to such a cup which may be microwaved to ensure the beverage retains a desired temperature for a sustained period of time.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Consumers of heated beverages such as coffee, hot chocolate and the like, are frequently frustrated by the beverage losing heat. The loss of heat is particularly acute where the beverage may be intended for consumption over a long period of time (e.g., while commuting) or where the beverage is to be consumed outdoors in cold environments.
Insulated beverage containers such as insulated coffee cups are well known. Such cups include an insulated material which surrounds the contained beverage in order to reduce the rate at which the beverage loses its heat to its environment. However, even with such insulated cups, there is a desire to improve the heat retention capabilities of beverage containers.
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a cup is provided for holding a warmed beverage. The cup includes an inner vessel having walls which define a fluid retaining volume. The vessel has an opening for admitting and discharging a beverage fluid from the volume. An outer wall at least partially surrounds the vessel. The outer wall and the walls of the inner vessel cooperate to define an enclosed chamber at least partially surrounding the inner vessel. A microwave receptive material is contained within the chamber.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a beverage cup according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the cup of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a side sectional view of an alternative embodiment of the view of FIG. 1 shown partially exploded; and
FIG. 4 is the assembled view of FIG. 3.
Referring now to the several drawing figures in which identical elements are numbered identically throughout, a description of the preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be provided.
With best reference to FIG. 1, a coffee cup 10 includes an inner container or vessel 12. Vessel 12 is generally cylindrical in shape and includes a cylindrical wall 14 having an enclosing bottom wall 16. The walls 14,16 define a volume 18 for retaining a beverage such as coffee or the like.
Opposite bottom 16, the vessel 12 is provided with an open end 20 to facilitate pouring of a beverage into volume 18 or drinking the beverage from volume 18. An optional cover 40 may be placed over the opening 20. The cover 40 has a cutout 42 to permit a user to drink the beverage from chamber 18 when cover 40 is in place.
An outer wall 22 surrounds the vessel 12. The outer wall 22 is frusto-conical in shape and extends from an upper end 24 to a base end 26. While the frusto-conical shape is not necessary for practicing the present invention, it is preferred for purposes of providing stability to the cup 10 when placed on a surface such as on a surface in a moving vehicle or the like.
In the preferred embodiment shown, the upper end 22 is secured to the vessel 12 at approximately a mid-point between ends 16,20. While this is a preferred embodiment, the upper end 24 could be attached to the vessel at the end 20 of vessel 12.
The base 26 is generally parallel to the plane of the opening 20. A bottom cover 28 is secured to the base 26. The cover 28, outer wall 22 and vessel 12 cooperate to define an enclosed volume 30 which surrounds the lower half (in the preferred embodiment) of the cylindrical wall 14 and extends beneath the bottom wall 16 of vessel 12. A handle 32 is provided secured to the vessel 12 and outer wall 22 to permit the cup 10 to be grasped by a user.
The bottom cover 28 may be secured to the base 26 in any desired manner such as threading the base 28 onto the bottom 26 or by ultrasonically welding plastic material of both the outer wall 22 and the bottom cover 28. Skid resistant pads 29 project from base 28.
The chamber 30 is substantially filled with a microwave receptive material 34. In a preferred embodiment, the microwave receptive material 34 is a so-called phase change material.
A preferred phase change material is commercially available through Phase Change Laboratories, Inc., San Diego, Calif., and is a free-flowing powder. The phase change material includes a linear crystalline alkyl hydrocarbon dispersed within a finely divided silica. The phase change material stays in powder form above and below the melting point of the hydrocarbon. The hydrocarbon melting point can be selected to be one of a number of different temperatures. For example, the hydrocarbon may be selected to have a melting point of 147° F., 170° F. or other temperature. For coffee cup, 170° F. is preferred. The phase change material results in an effective storing of thermal energy with energy being released at about the melting point of the hydrocarbon. Accordingly, the cup 10 may be placed in a conventional microwave oven and heated by microwave energy to heat the phase change material above the melting point of the hydrocarbon. The phase change material ensures that the melting point temperature of the hydrocarbon is retained for a substantial period of time (for example, one hour or more) after application of the microwave energy. A preferred phase change material is described more fully in U.S. Pat. No. 5,211,949.
It is desirable that the material of the cup 10 (other than the microwave receptive material 34) be substantially transparent to microwave energy. Also, it is desirable to avoid bursting of the outer wall 22 which may result from overheating the microwave material 34. For example, air may be captured in volume 30 and may heat and expand causing bursting of wall 22. To this end, the outer wall 22 is formed of a plastic material which is transparent to microwave energy and which has a melting point greater than the melting point of the hydrocarbon of the phase change material but less than a temperature at which there may be substantial risk to bursting of the outer wall 22. A preferred material for outer wall 22 (as well as vessel 12) is polypropylene with a melting point of 350° F. and a softening point of 325° F.
An alternative design may include the addition of a layer (not shown) of insulative material on the inner surface of wall 22 to retain the heat of material 34.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show an alternative embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 3, elements identical to those with respect to FIG. 1 are numbered identically throughout.
The cup 10' has vessel 12' and an outer wall 22' which surrounds an inner wall 14' of the vessel 12' walls 22' and 14' define an enclosed volume 30'.
In FIG. 3, the phase change material 34' is in the form of a solid cylinder sized to be received in the volume of 30'. As in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the base 28' is ultrasonically welded to the outer wall 22' in order to completely seal the volume 30. The cylinder 34' is shaped to fit within volume 30' adjacent to and in contact with wall 14' The bottom of cylinder 34' is received within a groove 28' of bottom cover 28'.
The cylinder 34' is a high-density polyethylene which is cold molded, and includes a silica which is impregnated with a wax. The cylinder 34' also includes a carbon black dispersed throughout the cylinder 34'. The high-density polyethylene permits the cylinder 34' to be cold molded into any desired shape. The silica acts as a sponge which can retain the wax in both a melted and a solid state. The carbon black is a receptor for microwave energy. At 140°, the wax melts but stays retained within the silica. The desired energy for eventual release into the beverage container 10' is stored in the latent heat as the wax changes phase from solid to liquid state. The structure of the cylinder 34', including the polyethylene, can melt at a temperature which would soften and melt the container before vaporization of the wax or other constituents of the ring occurs. Such a cylinder 34' is a commercially available item through the aforementioned Phase Change Laboratories.
During heating, the wax of cylinder 34' will melt at about 140° F. The cylinder 34' will overall melt at about 230° and vaporization of the cylinder 34' will occur at about 360° F. The plastic of the container 14' softens at 320° F. and melts at about 350° F. Accordingly, the container material has a melting point which is greater than the melting point of the cylinder 34' and less than the vaporization of the cylinder 34'.
In a preferred embodiment, the interior vessel wall 14' will be made thinner than the exterior wall 22'. As a result, the interior wall 14 will melt before the exterior wall 22'. So, any melted material from the cylinder 34' will flow into the container 18. While, in a preferred embodiment, inner container 14 melts before exterior wall 22', it will be appreciated that either of inner container 14' or exterior wall 22 could melt. By permitting the walls 14', 22' to melt prior to vaporization of the material 34' (or material 34 in FIG. 1), bursting of the walls 22', 14' is avoided.
From the foregoing detailed description of the present invention, it has been shown how the objects of the invention have been obtained in a preferred manner. However, modifications and equivalents of the disclosed concepts such as those that readily occur to one skilled in the art and are intended to be included within the scope of the claims which are appended hereto.

Gossip Girl Season 4 Refresher: Catch up on All the Romance, Scheming, and Scandal
Gearing up for Gossip Girl's return next week? We'll get you caught up! Read on to remember who banged, who betrayed, and who broke up.
Blair (Leighton Meester) and Serena's (Blake Lively) easygoing summer in Paris is interrupted by the reappearance of the missing Chuck (Ed Westwick). After recovering from his stab wound, he starts a new life with the sweet, simple Eva (Clemence Poesy). But when his old friends draw him back to NYC, Eva soon falls by the wayside — a victim of Blair's machinations.
Dan's (Penn Badgley) summer is a bit more stressful: He spends it playing daddy to Georgina's (Michelle Trachtenberg) baby, with help from Vanessa (Jessica Szohr). Turns out he isn't the dad, and the minute he's relieved of the responsibility, he starts blowing off good ol' Vanessa to start sniffing around Serena again.
Serena joins Blair at Columbia, ignoring her love triangle with Nate (Chace Crawford) and Dan to pursue her professor. This is perfect ammunition for Serena's secret enemy, Juliet (Katie Cassidy), who spends all autumn peering sneakily out from behind things... and sexing up Nate. He's always willing! With the help of a visiting Jenny (Taylor Momsen) and Vanessa, she gets S kicked out of school, alienates all her friends, and lands her in the Ostroff Center.
But Serena's friends are much awesomer than her enemies. Blair and Dan team up for a road trip that reveals Juliet's true agenda: Her brother Ben is in jail because of a false affidavit claiming he'd molested Serena when he was her teacher. It soon comes out that it was Lily, not Serena, who signed the affidavit. Ben walks out of prison — and straight into Serena's arms.
Blair and Chuck reconcile long enough for some stellar friend-with-benefits sex, but B soon realizes that she can't live her life in Chuck's shadow. Throwing herself into a magazine career means throwing herself into Dan's company, and the two grow closer.
Lily (Kelly Rutherford) sells Bass Industries to one of Jack Bass's enemies, Russell Thorpe. To block the merger, Chuck romances Thorpe's daughter Raina (Tika Sumpter). But instead of using her and losing her, he falls for her. Just when Chuck finally engineers Russell's defeat, he learns the true reason why Russell hates Jack: The insurance fire he set killed Thorpe's wife.
Where we left things: Serena is newly single; Vanessa is back in town; Chuck is miserable; Lily has turned herself in; and Dan and Blair are mid-first kiss. See you next week, Gossip Girl!

Australia might have some of the world's most idyllic cruising grounds, but up until now, no-one has been discussing it very much. Now interest in sailing and cruising Downunder is growing, thanks to Superyacht Australia.
Australia - Sailing yacht Bandanyah on the Kimberly Coast
Superyacht Group Great Barrier Reef Manager Susan Byrne and Superyacht Australia are working with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) to develop comprehensive itineraries demonstrating the cruising capabilities within this Great Barrier Reef region currently and by all reports what can be done is substantial and certainly leaves guests raving about their experiences noting them as 'totally unexpected.'
Australia - picnic on your own island alone
Captain Joe Russel a contributor in the recently released Third Edition of the Great Southern Route publication says
'I have seen the infrastructure increase in leaps and bounds and it (Cairns) is now as good as Europe.' Russel writes further about the beauties of the Great Barrier Reef stating '…suffice for me to say that after many hundreds of days cruising the area (Great Barrier Reef) over the years, I am still in awe of the reef and island cruising, deserted beaches and secluded anchorages.'
The expanse of experiences while cruising in Australia include but are not limited to diving, snorkelling, all types of fishing, whale and whale shark sightings, enjoying your watercraft, cultural experiences and the best anchorages.
Australia - sailing paradise
Expect to see exquisite turquoise waters and explore the abundance of natural playgrounds when cruising Australia.
Tasmania, Australia's southern state, boasts some of the most picturesque cruising grounds found in a temperate climate and now hosts the world renowned MONA gallery as well as exquisite natural landscapes.
The adventures and pure beauty offered in the Kimberley's (North West Australia) leave you exploring in fresh water pools behind water falls, enjoying beautiful beaches and rock formations, walk above cascades for a swim in large billabongs, explore aboriginal art and enjoy the wildlife; Dugongs, Turtles, Sharks, Sea Eagles, Dolphins, Whales and numerous bird species.
Australia - vast isolated cruising grounds - Dugong Bay
South from the Great Barrier Reef there is a variety of safe cruising grounds, reasonable distances apart, stretching the full length of the coast. Choices vary from deep inlets, like Broken Bay just north of Sydney, to wide estuarial layouts such as Port Stephens and Port Macquarie, and natural harbours, Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour); arguable one of Australia's most iconic landmarks.
Australia - unexpectedly brilliant for cruising
Coupled with these unique and stunning cruising opportunities are the infrastructure and facilities required to host the necessary requirements for all yachts, including superyachts. Whatever the demanding yacht owner needs it there - superior quality refit, repair and maintenance.
Superyacht Australia has been working with the GBRMPA with regard to the regulations around the 35m rule for some areas of the reef, while this may take some time to work through it should not be forgotten that there is an expanse of unique cruising opportunities outside of these small restricted areas which several yachts have encountered.
Australia - the Great Barrier Reef itself is full of colour and wonder for snorkellers and divers
The Superyacht Group Great Barrier Reef states that 'feedback from vessels is that they have found Australia to be unexpected and rewarding for their owners.'
Superyacht Australia has recently had significant presence at the Monaco Yacht Show and Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show where they are profiling Australia as a key and unique cruising destination for superyachts, many are looking to Australia for 'new' experiences and excited by the opportunities.

HANOVER, Va (WTVR) — One Virginia hospital is practicing ways to make sure all patients and workers are safe in the case of a disaster. A training exercise was held today at the Bon Secour Memorial Regional Medical Center. It allowed first responders to take part in what's being called an evacuation practice–a first of its kind training exercise in the region.
The community collaboration was designed to ensure those we rely on for safety and treatment would have the necessary tools and training to deal with 'escalating circumstances.'
"We are not only able to practice our plans but we are able to build relationships and actually practice for the real thing," Hanover Battalion Chief Jason Williams said. "So if for some reason this ever happened we would have an idea of how it's supposed to go and some of the key people in key roles; who they are and to have those relationships in place."
During today's training scenario, staff and emergency crews reacted to the hospital being impacted by high winds, leaving parts of the building damaged. Although it was a mock exercise the men and women from all over Central Virginia taking part jumped into action as if it were a real life situation, utilizing the hospital, mobile command centers and other medical units.
"It's really just wonderful to see these relationships flourish and to better prepare us to handle anything that comes to the community," Gary Welch with Bon Secours Regional Medical Center said.
More than 100 personnel from the hospital, as well as crews from Henrico, Chesterfield and Hanover took part in today's training exercise.

Inaugural event still accepting registration
Registration is open through Saturday morning for the inaugural Tour de Vance, an event featuring three rides of varying distances with biking activities for children.
Interested participants can register online at BikeReg.com until midnight on Friday, or at Vance-Granville Community College beginning at 7:30 a.m. Saturday morning.
Scheduled for Saturday will be a 30-mile ride and a 60-mile ride for more seasoned riders, with the 60-mile ride passing Kerr Lake.
A 10-mile route will also be set up for youth, families and beginners.
All three rides are scheduled to depart from VGCC at 8:30 a.m.
"There will be rest stops at Nutbush Park, at Bullocksville Park and at Hicksboro Volunteer Fire Department," said Nancy Gray, executive director of the United Way. "People will be there to give them food and drink and a place to rest."
The 10-mile family ride also departing from VGCC will send riders to Oxford-Henderson Airport, where a rest stop will be set up for riders to enjoy before their journey back.
"This is a ride," Gray said. "It's not a race, it's just a recreational ride to get out and have fun and some exercise, and see our beautiful countryside."
Children ages 2 to 5 will have a place to ride on site at VGCC. They are welcome and encouraged to bring tricycles, big wheels or bicycles.
"A Girl Scout troop is going to have places on site that they can ride a course, even little ones, and they'll be having art activities as well," Gray said. "It will be great fun for them."
Child participants are charged a $5 registration fee, which includes a take home goody pack, and the chance to win a bicycle.
For kids age 6 to 11 years, the Henderson Optimist Club will host a bike rodeo, where kids compete in a skill riding competition.
"They'll be divided into two groups," Gray said. "We're giving away trophies for first, second and third places in the two age groups.
"A bike will also be given away to the overall winner for skills, the one who gets the most points."
Registration for the 10-mile ride is $20, and includes up to four members of the same family or household.
For the 30- and 60-mile rides, a $40 registration fee is required.
All proceeds go to the Vance County United Way.

Mike Bower appointed sixth president of OwensWritten by Caitlin McGlade | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Owen Community College's board of trustees unanimously voted to appoint 62-year-old Mike Bower as its sixth president.
Bower comes to the area from North Dakota where he served as president of Lake Region State College.
There, Bower expanded educational opportunities, secured $2.6 million for a wind turbine to support the green initiative and oversaw the unveiling of new academic programs including nursing, American sign language and interpretive studies, according to the March 13 news release.
His experience at Lake Region State brought to 17 the number of years Bower spent working as a faculty member of administrator in higher education. He previously worked in North Dakota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Indiana.
Bower also worked in the business industry for 19 years, with Ford Motor Company and Thomson Consumer Electrics.
The Board of Trustees announced a national search for a president last year to fill President Larry McDougle's position. He retired Sept. 30. Bower will start July 1, following Vice President of Finance and Administration John Satkowski's interim president term. Both the Board of Trustees and Bower agreed to a three-year contract.
Bower will be the sixth president in the college's 47-year history.
Owens offers associate degrees in Arts and Sciences and more than 130 technical programs.

WESTBOROUGH, Mass. — The mural serving as the backdrop for Westborough's annual Free Holiday Store is the work of a group of Mill Pond sixth-graders.
The group was led by guidance counselor Karen Hong, who said the students wanted the store to feel like the "lavishly decorated" department stores.
"They wanted the Holiday Store experience to be warm and welcoming and caring," a statement said.
The mural depicts children playing, gingerbread men, snowmen dancing and snow falling on the winter scene.
All the work was done outside of academic class time, when the students could have been "having fun or taking a break," according to the statement.
"It is their way of wishing 'Happy Holdays' to the families visiting the Holiday Store."
The store, which opened Monday, Dec. 3, is run entirely on community donations.

INVENTOR ATTORNEY other features of construction and in the.
Application fi1ed July 16,
T 0 all whom it may concern:
e it known that I, AUeUs'r EvEnsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Big Sandy, in the county of Chouteau and State of Montana, have invented new and useful Improvements in Reamers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a drill, the principal object of the invention being to provide means for boring a hole of greater di ameter than the casing so as to provide room for the couplings of the casing, while permitting the drill to be passed through the casing.
Another object of the invention is to provide the bit with a movable part so that the said movable part may be moved into a position to permit'the drill to pass through the casing with means for moving the movable part to assume its normal position when it strikes the bottom of the casing;
This invention also consists in certain combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out. in the appended claims.
In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a sectional view showing the device in use in a casing.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged side view with the movable part of the bit in extended position and ready to be drawn through the casing.
Fig. 3 is an edge View of Fig. 1.
Fig. e'is a longitudinal sectional view.
F ig. 5 is a detail View showing thefconstruction of the spring.
In these views 1 indicates the drill shank and 2 the bit which is of greater width than the shank and is also of greater width than the diameter of the casing so that it will bore a hole of'larger diameter than the casing to make room for the couplings in the casing, said casing being shown at 3 in F 1g. 1. In order to permit the drill to pass through the casing I provide means for contracting the bit part, such means consisting in making a portion at of the bit part movable. This part 4 fits in a substantially wedge shaped recess .5. formed in the head of Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 30, 1920. 1920. Serial No. 396,628.
the bit so that the pressure upon said movpart 4 is secured to the side members 6 in any desired manner. These side members rest upon the sides of the shank and are slidably secured thereon by means of the bolt 7 which passes through the shank and through the inclined slots 8 formed in the said side members. Guiding pins 9 are carried by the shank and engage'the inner edges of the side members for preventing lateral play of the side members. The side members are held in raised position with the movable part of the bit in this recess by means of the springs 10 which are secured to the sides of the shank and have their lower ends engaging the upper ends of the side members. The contacting faces of the springs and side members are provided with teeth 11 for interlocking with each other.
It will thus be seen that when the movable part is drawn out of its recess the side members will move at an incline toward the head end of the shank so as to throw said movable part in front of the other part of the bit, thus contracting the head of the bit and permitting it to pass through the casing. As soon as the movable part of the bit strikes the bottom of the hole it will be forced back into its recess and the springs engaging the side members will hold it in this position while the drill is being actuated. When the drill is to be withdrawn from the casing it is simply necessary to raise the drill sharply to cause the bit to strike against the bottom of the casing. This blow will cause the movable part to be moved downwardly out of its recess and in front of the other part and thus permit the device to be drawn from the casing.
It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.
I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.
What I claim is 1. A drill of the class described having a recess in its bit end, a movable bit part fitting in said recess, side pieces secured to said movable part and engaging the sides of the drill, guiding means for giving said side pieces a downwardly and inclined movement to throW the movable part in front of v the other bit part and spring means for holding the parts in raised position.
2. A drill of the class described having a Wide bit end having a recess in one side thereof, a movable bit part fitting in said recess, side pieces secured to said movable part and having inclined slots therein, a bolt passing through the drill and said inclined slots, a guiding pin in the bit engaging the 10 nner edge of eachslde piece and a sprlng plate secured to each side of the drill and having its end engaging the upper end of each side piece.
In testimony whereof I afix ms signature. 15

Boulder, CO—The practice of grass-based, environmentally friendly organic dairy farming is better for cows' health, and leads to better quality milk, too, according to a recent report. The research, conducted by The Organic Center and published under the title, "A Dairy Farm's Footprint," presents the conclusions that organic dairy farms support healthier, less stressed, more frequently lactating and longer-living cows. Organic dairies also have a smaller carbon footprint than high-production, conventional dairies (with manure methane emissions reduced by 60% to 80%) and produce milk with a superior nutritional profile.

New double decker art bus is just the ticket in Gloucester
Posted: March 15, 2014|
ARTIST Hayley Kendal has gone from robots and radiators to converting an old London bus into a travelling gallery.
The 34-year-old has been making mechanical characters out of salvaged metal – from guitar parts to toasters – at her Rust Bucket Workshop in The Leigh, near Minsterworth, for years.
But now she has turned her attention to a 1992 Leyland Olympus Alexander bus which will grace art and music festivals all across the country in the coming few months.
"When I first got it, the bus looked like a standard London double decker," Hayley said. "It had all the seats, was damp and smelly but we have taken the seats out and started to clad the walls.
"It is going to look like a proper gallery.
"We went into it completely blind and it is a bit of a dream of ours – it is something we have always wanted to do," added Hayley, whose partner and fellow artist Chris Walker is helping her on the project.
The couple had broken down in Quedgeley when they noticed the bus for sale and decided to buy it
A total of 50 artists have already put their names down to exhibit on board at eight locations, from Gloucester to Blackpool.
The bus, known as the Rusty Alexander, will boast units made from reclaimed wood and old suitcases to exhibit a range of creations, from 3D sculptures to paintings and textiles.
She said the bus will also act as a "shop front" for the work she, Chris and other artists create.
The former South Glouc- estershire and Stroud College student, added: "We want to cater for everyone. It won't be a white-walled gallery where everything looks the same and costs hundreds of pounds, it will be a real eclectic mix.
"We think it will just evolve over time and will have curiosity stuff too, so there will be a mix of old and new. We want to make a space that once you walk in you won't want to leave. We just want to create somewhere that is welcoming, warm and full of artists.
"I couldn't believe the response I have had. When I first bought the bus I emailed artists who I admire and the response has been amazing – they all wanted to be a part of it."
Hayley has recruited friends to drive the bus until she has gained her Category C driving licence.
She hopes the bus will be at Gloucester's SportsBeat festival in June.

Measuring Sustainability in Gallons of Gasoline
Corporations and individuals face a challenge when they have to decide on the best solutions to improve their sustainability: how to measure with precision their impact on the environment.
In order to help solve this problem, Zik Energy Points has developed a qualification system based on the amount of energy consumed over the ful lifespan of a process or object.
The unit of measurement is the amount of energy embodied in one gallon of gasoline, which the company calls Energy Point. It works like diet points applied to the concept of sustainability. Power generation, buildings, manufacturing processes, water, waste or anything that consumes energy can be measured using Energy Points. The company says the method is easy to understand because "people understand the cost and characteristics of gasoline intuitively."
Water is quantified as energy by incorporating all of the energy needed to extract the water, including the infrastructure, while factoring in the embodied energy of the infrastructure and the geographical scarcity of water. For instance, water production, distribution and treatment use less energy in Minnesota than New Mexico, even though water costs less in New Mexico. Similarly, a solar energy panel is more efficient in Arizona than Seattle because it receives larger amounts of sunlight. Electricity generated in California is more efficient because of the heavier mix of renewable resources compared to Kentucky where coal is used.
The method also enables comparisons between different alternatives from a sustainability standpoint. It allows users to compare solar and wind, hybrid versus plug-in vehicles, different locations, depending on the needs of the project.
The system was developed by Ory Zik, founder of the Energy Points Project. Zik holds a Ph.D. in Physics from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. He was one of the founders of the Israeli chapter of Greenpeace. He is also the founder of several companies including QuantomiX Inc. based on his inventions in the field of microscopy. In 2007 founded HelioFocus, which develops solar thermal augmentation solutions for conventional power plants, serving as its CEO until 2010, when he left the company to start Zik Energy Points.
The system uses patent pending algorithms and geospatial and geotemporal databases to convert different domains (such as electricity and water) and diverse units of measure (such as kWh, therms and cubic meters of water) into a quantitative report analogous to a balance sheet.
The company says its EP Balance Sheet provides a "more intuitive depiction of how resources with various conventional units of measure contribute to the overall sustainability of a building/region/enterprise as a whole."

Ah, polystyrene. Also known as styrofoam, it's the material designed to have no end of life. It sits for what's said to be 1000 years without decomposing, hence occupying over 20% of landfill space. Polystyrene (#6 plastic) has many other negative aspects, but I'd like to focus on two products that have changed the way we think about this ever-present material.
A small company called Ecovative has set out to create an alternative to foam, and their brilliant idea has caught my attention and made me swoon.. They're replacing polystyrene foam packaging with packaging grown from mushrooms. It may sound impossible, but it's true! This organic material they've created is called MycoBond, and it's part of their EcoCradle packaging products. Even more amazing is that they've incorporated agricultural byproducts into this fully compostable material. I can't think any other material that can replace the fuctionality of styrofoam - it's lightweight, insulates extremely well, and is cheap to make. It even trumps polystyrene in that it's fire & water resistant, and insulates against acoustics! But why is EcoCradle packaging cheaper to make? Because there is no manufacturing, no large equipment, no shipping of ingredients. How is this possible? The magic ingredient is mycelium, often called"nature's polymer". This ever-growing network of the fungus is added to whatever regional byproducts are available, and this living organism is put in a mold to create the shape of the final material. If this process were to be done in China, they might use rice husks or cotton seed hull. In North America, we can buckwheat husks or oat hulls which are waste products. The myceluim grows through the husks over the span of a week or so. See this video of a time lapse of the growth cycle.
Below is the finished product, ready to be used in packaging any number of things.
Co-founder Eben Bayer spoke at TED, and I recommend seeing his TED talk if you'd like to learn more. The company is based in Green Island, NY (less than 2 hours away from Beacon!) and I'm so glad they're part of our community. Ecovative Design has recently been awarded a grant by NYSERDA to pursue this work, along with 16 other NY-based groups.
The second product to make me giddy is called Rastra. It's an insulation material made of 85% post-consumer expanded polystyrene & 15% cement, according to the website. It's amazing to me that so much of this material is used styrofoam, because the material is notoriously difficult to repurpose. There are very few places where styrofoam/polystyrene are actually recycled, so when I heard about this my heart started racing. I immediately checked all over their site for a place to send used material, but found nothing. Then I started asking around, starting with my friend Mike, who is a local builder (soon to be interviewed for his nearly off the grid house made of repurposed items). I was wondering how safe it was, and how often he's seen it used in his experience. It sounds like it's considered safe, and that it requires the installer to have taken certain classes to be able to work with it.
I'd still like to learn more, and see it in person. Their website has quite a bit of info about their commitment to the environment, and it sounds like the product has been used since 1968. I plan on asking the company whether or not they accept used polystyrene, and where their supply comes from. If anyone knows of other places to send polystyrene for reuse, please contact me.

Coating Materials
Washington State is poised to become the first state to ban coal-tar sealant used on pavements and parking lots.
A state measure—overwhelmingly approved last month by the House and now under consideration in the Senate—would ban the toxic asphalt sealant derived from coal tar, a waste product of steelmaking.
Studies have shown that the sealant emits high concentrations of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), which have been linked to cancer and the death of exposed fish and aquatic wildlife. Concentrations in coal tar are about 1,000 times higher than levels found in alternative, asphalt-based sealants, according to studies by the U.S. Geological Survey.
US Geological Survey
Coal-tar-based sealcoat products containabout 1,000 times more Polycyclic AromaticHydrocarbons (PAHs) than sealcoat productswith an asphalt base.
Austin, TX; Washington DC; Madison, WI; and other cities have banned the substance, but Washington would be the first state to do. U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, a Democrat who represents the Austin area, has called for years for a national ban on the sealant.
Sales, Usage Bans
The measure would:
• Ban all sales of coal tar pavement products as of Jan. 1, 2012; and
• Ban the use of coal tar pavement products on driveways and parking areas as of July 1, 2012.
• Ban all sales of coal tar pavement products as of Jan. 1, 2012; and
• Ban the use of coal tar pavement products on driveways and parking areas as of July 1, 2012.
Coal-tar sealants, used primarily by private contractors, are the main cause of rising PAH levels in the sediments of 40 lakes monitored nationwide by the USGS, agency scientist Peter Van Metre told Washington's Senate Environment, Water and Energy Committee at hearing March 22 on the measure. Van Metre has been studying the issue since the 1990s.
Mo McBroom, policy director of the Washington Environmental Council, told senators that stormwater runoff was likely carrying coal-tar sealant into Puget Sound. "This is a tangible step we can take to reduce stormwater pollution entering our water bodies," McBroom said.
The state Ecology Department also backs the bill. Toxics coordinator Carol Kraege told legislators that the sealant chemicals accumulate in the food chain: "Our position is these chemicals . . . are the worst of the worst, and the sooner we phase them out, the better."
Industry Opposition
The Pavement Coatings Technology Council, a manufacturer's group based in Alexandria, VA, opposes the measure, saying it would burden small businesses. The council notes that PAHs are also present in vehicle exhaust and power generation, construction materials and consumer products. The council has said it found no change in PAH concentrations two years after Austin banned the sealant.
Council scientist Anne LeHuray asked Washington's senators to hold off on the bill until the Department of Ecology completes a study of PAH contamination sources.
"It would be premature to pass this bill before the study is complete," she said, according to The Olympian.
Opponent Rep. Shelly Short, R-Addy, said the bill was unnecessary because many retailers in the region had already stopped selling the product. (Coal-tar-based sealcoat is commonly used in the Central, Southern and Eastern U.S.; asphalt-based sealcoat is more common in the West.)
Short tried unsuccessfully to attach an amendment to the measure that would have required the Department of Ecology to conduct follow-up studies and report to the legislature by Dec. 1, 2015, whether the measure had reduced PAH in stormwater runoff.
GSCS Study
In addition to the December 2010 survey that revealed contamination of 40 urban lakes, Van Metre noted a 2009 study in which USGS researchers tracked the chemicals into house dust at apartments adjacent to coal-tar-sealed parking lots at a rate 25 times higher than apartment houses using asphalt-based sealants."We're not talking about old industrial waste sites here," Van Metre told Washington legislators last week. "We're talking about suburban neighborhoods."

Facebook hires first marketing chief from Motorola Mobility
Gary Briggs formerly served as Motorola's CMO after Google completed its $12.5 billion acquisition last year.
More than a year after going public, Facebook apparently believes it's time to hire the social network's first-ever chief marketing officer.
Gary Briggs, who was formerly the marketing chief at Motorola Mobility, has been hired by the social-networking giant to lead the company's marketing efforts, according to AdAge. Briggs replaced vice president of product marketing Eric Antonow, who has supervised Facebook's marketing efforts for the past three years.
Upon Google's completion of its $12.5 billion takeover of Motorola Mobility a year ago, Briggs was appointed Motorola's CMO after serving as vice president of consumer marketing at the Web giant.
Briggs said in a statement to AdAge that he was excited by the new challenge.
"Facebook isn't just a company. For more than a billion people, it's their connection to the friends and things they care about most," Briggs said. "Telling the story of such an important and still very young brand is an incredible opportunity, and I cannot wait to get started."
After six-year stints in consumer marketing at eBay and Pepsico, Briggs most recently served as an adviser to Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside and its new CMO, Bill Morgan.

Ladies and gentle-nerds, meet your new Spider-Man. Andrew Garfield graces the new cover of Entertainment Weekly this week, just in time for Comic Con. General consensus is: we like. He's a convincing superhero — handsome and brooding but with a gentle gleam in his eye. He could hold you tenderly but also break your enemy's neck in a split second. Also, those eyebrows! We hope he can secretly use them as weapons in someway. They're too thick and surly just to sit on his lovely little face.
EW dropped a buttload of promo pics on us, and our favorite features Peter Parker cuddling up to his first love, Gwen Stacey, played by perfect human being Emma Stone. Andrew and Emma are rumored to be carrying on an off-screen romance too. They look all sorts of perfect together, no?

I got these strings the other day for my drop A 4 strings ray34 bass. I had thought originally that my amp was shot because when i played it, it sounded terrible. BUT, after putting these strings on they brought my bass back to live. Although these strings are for a five string the salesman at gc suggested I get bigger strings to handle such low tuning. The 135 mm sounds Amazing and I cant think of any downfalls these strings have. Also on my old strings the E overpowered my A a lot but now since I have a 105 as my A I can get those notes as at an even level. I definitely recommend getting these strings if you play in lower tunings.

Washington Board okays
ordinance, taping of meetings
by MICHELLE TANGUAYThe Washington Township Board of Trustees Nov. 15 adopted a Rapid Entry Access Ordinance and hired a video manager to tape Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals meetings.
Observer News Editor
The new ordinance will regulate the Knox-Box system that was recommended to the board earlier this fall by Assistant Fire Chief David Poterek. The system allows the Fire Department emergency access to businesses and other properties that are secured, using a key that is held on a fire truck. That key then opens a box on the business that holds the key to the business or building, which prevents the department from having to use force to enter.
The new ordinance does not apply to homes, officials said.
"It is only applicable to new construction," said Township Attorney Bob Seibert who drafted the ordinance.
The board also hired Robert Sergott to tape the Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals meetings. The meetings will then be aired on WBRW Channel 6. Sergott was hired earlier this year to tape the Board of Trustees' meetings, having submitted the low bid.
The cost is $35 per hour, with a cap of $125.
In other business, the board:
* Set the special assessment roll for street lighting in Autumn Creek Subdivision. The roll is in the amount of $17,039 and each individual assessment will be $108.53. The assessment will be due Dec. 1.
* Set the special assessment roll for the street lighting in Orchards Estates Subdivision in the amount of $7,832. Each individual assessment will be $217.56 and will be due Dec. 1.
* Tabled action on a request for financial assistance from the charter townships of Comstock and Kalamazoo for their lawsuit against the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality pending the results of the Circuit Court procedure. The matter is expected to go to the Michigan Court of Appeals. The lawsuit pertains to the state-mandated stormwater discharge requirements.
* Tabled action on paying for the paving of a three-mile stretch of the Macomb Orchard Trail between 29 and 32 Mile roads. The board will reconsider the matter during talks for the 2007-08 budget.
* Reappointed Theodore Zech as the alternate dangerous building hearing officer. He will serve a four-year term expiring in November 2010.
* Referred a request for the installation of a street light from the Village Place Condominium Association to the Township Attorney.
* Approved an administrative change to a consent judgment that permits several lot splits in the Kirkway development. The splits were requested in order to get more favorable financing, according to officials.
* Tabled action on a request for the extension of a METRO Act permit requested by AT&T. The permit allows the company access to and use of the public right-of-way.

Blue Jackets end Canes' win streak at five
By the end, a crowd of 16,008 was chanting his nickname.
Sergei Bobrovsky made 36 saves and Cam Atkinson had a goal and an assist to lead the Columbus Blue Jackets past Carolina 3-0 on Friday night, ending the Hurricanes' season-best five-game winning streak.
"Bob was the Bob we've grown to love," teammate Brandon Dubinsky said.
Boone Jenner and Dubinsky also scored for the Blue Jackets, who have won three of four. And Nathan Horton contributed in his first home game in a Columbus uniform.
But make no mistake about it: Bobrovsky stole the show.
"He was in his game today," said Carolina's Justin Faulk. "He's obviously a good goalie. He's proven himself in this league."
Horton, a big-money free-agent signing last season who missed the first 40 games after shoulder surgery, raved about Bobrovsky.
"He showed why he's one of the best goalies in the game," Horton said. "It's great for us to have him."
Bobrovsky, who picked up his second shutout of the season, was making his first home start in more than a month. He missed 14 games with a strained groin before winning at Madison Square Garden against the Rangers on Monday night, 4-3 in a shootout.
He said the key was concentrating.
"To be honest, I almost don't remember my saves tonight," he said. "I make one, then I try to be focused on the next."
Last year's Vezina Trophy winner as the NHL's top goalie was in fine form. He stopped Elias Lindholm twice on jam shots at the corner post during more than a minute of a 5-on-3 for Carolina in the third period. While the Hurricanes were pressing on the remaining power play, he gloved a hard shot from the high slot by Zach Boychuk — and held his glove high in the air for several seconds while the crowd roared.
The crowd chanted, "Bob! Bob!" throughout the final few minutes.
"Our goalie energized the building in the third period with some of his saves," Columbus coach Todd Richards said. "That is a little reminiscent of last season."
Bobrovsky, acquired in a trade with Philadelphia 18 months ago, went 21-11-6 while leading a late-season charge last spring that brought the Blue Jackets within a tiebreaker of making the playoffs.
"When he's playing like that, it gives us a chance to win every single night," Atkinson said.
The Blue Jackets moved to 20-20-4 with the win.
Carolina's Anton Khudobin had been the hottest goalie in the league. He came in with a record of 6-0-0 with a 1.84 goals-against average and a .943 save percentage. He had allowed two or fewer goals in six of his seven games — then gave up two in the first period.
The Hurricanes' Brett Sutter gathered a loose puck in the corner but Horton hit him and forced a turnover to Jenner. The rookie was all alone in the slot and went high on the stick side of Khudobin for his sixth goal of the year at the 15-minute mark.
Just 70 seconds later, the Blue Jackets struck again. This time Atkinson carried the puck through the neutral zone and then slid a pass to Dubinsky on the left wing. His rising shot from the left dot beat Khudobin inside the far post. It was Dubinsky's ninth of the year.
Atkinson had also saved a goal when he got a stick on Jeff Skinner's wraparound midway through the first 20 minutes.
He then picked up a goal of his own at 5:54 of the third when he took a feed from Mark Letestu and found the net from the left hash for his 12th goal.
The Hurricanes had piled up a season-high in goals while beating Toronto 6-1 on Thursday night at home. But Bobrovsky stifled everything that came at him, capping the shutout with a sprawling glove save on Nathan Gerbe with just over 2 minutes left.
"We had one or two breakdowns and they capitalized and scored goals," Carolina coach Kirk Muller said. "They're a good team. They play a good system and they don't give up much."
NOTES: Columbus C Derek MacKenzie was sitting out the final game of a three-game suspension for boarding Phoenix's Oliver Ekman-Larsson. ... It was the second of five meetings this season, with the Blue Jackets winning on Dec. 23 in Raleigh, 4-3. ... The Blue Jackets improved to 9-6-0 against Carolina, including 5-2-0 at home. ...
