Today they will be at Hiseville, tomorrow at Park City and Cave City. We'll have the schedule for you on a daily basis.
City residents may place extra trash, large items and bagged or boxed items curbside on the same day as normal garbage pick up. Public Works Department will have extra trucks out to pick up permitted items. The trucks will come through each neighborhood only once. Have all items out by 7:00 a.m. on your regular garbage day to insure collection.
There are restriction including, no appliances, pesticides, and tires. If you're unsure about items to be picked up by the city call the Dept of Public Works at 678-4302
Or visit the city website at www.cityofglasgow.org
Volunteers will be out in full force to spring clean area highways. The Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) announces that Adopt-a-Highway Spring Clean Week will be March 20-26.
More than 900 groups participate in Kentucky's Adopt-a-Highway program, which was established in 1988. Volunteers clean approximately 6,800 miles of roadside annually, setting an example of responsible environmental stewardship. Approximately 4 percent of eligible Butler County highways are adopted.
The Adopt-a-Highway program promotes public environmental awareness and supports tourism. The program also creates a partnership between citizens, community and government, and establishes a sense of pride in the Bluegrass State.
Litter pickups are held at least four times per year or as many times as necessary to keep adopted areas reasonably litter-free. The cabinet coordinates three annual clean-up efforts.

That post looks like it was written by a teenager.
And, when you grow up you will realize that the older generation was right all along.
The stats aren't invented out of thin air. A lot of time and effort goes into collecting stats.
Fact is that teen drivers present a higher risk.
Personally I think teen driving should be heavily restricted. I don't even think teens should be driving to (high) school. Take the bus. Walk to school. I did. You might not be able to show off to your friends but you'll have a safe ride to and from school.
A gay couple doesn't have the proper equipment to complete a marriage. A marriage isn't about "love." It is about a family to raise children. Otherwise, why would we have one? Most marriages result in children. By design, a gay couple cannot have children and therefore really has no business being in a marriage.
Nothing personal, just what you were born with.
This is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from interracial marriage. An interracial couple can still have children. A gay couple cannot.
I'm really sick of society trying to make what is wrong right. I am also sick of people remaining silent. If you believe in a proper marriage between one man and one woman you need to make your voice heard. Gay activists clearly are making their voices heard.
When we lose the family in society we are done for.
Lots of DiHydrogen Monoxide here! That stuff eats away at the land and can cause mudslides. Enough of it can kill you too.
Meh, not news. I don't care what your sexual orientation is. What you do in the bedroom is your business.
Not every authority charges the fee. If you get your EZPass in NY from MTA bridges and tunnels there is no monthly fee.
Wow, a whole 191 days!
I bet they still won't be able to compete. Most of them are too expensive anyway, even the large chain stores. Even with the tax, Amazon will still be cheaper in a lot of cases.
Wow these guys are smart entrepreneurs. They just got some free advertising.
Scott Garrett for President.
I would vote for him. Much better than the RINO field we have right now.
I love a nice warm car in the winter. I love not having to get out and pump my own gas!
Young Americans don't want to pump gas, they want to go into high paying jobs like finance, entertainment and professional sports. They are all brought up with the illusion that they are going to all become filthy rich right out of college or perhaps recruited by pro sports teams or become singers or actors.
Maybe these kids shouldn't all go to college, it's not for everyone anyway. We need more people learning skilled trades, good old fashioned trades like welding, electrical, carpentry, plumbing etc. There is demand for these skills. But nobody likes to get their hands dirty anymore. Everyone wants to work in an office or figure they're going to hollywood or play in the NFL.
The indians that own NJ gas stations are hard working and frugal. They typically don't borrow a lot of money from anyone outside of the family and have a lot of cash in the bank. Family members all contribute to the business, many of those you see pumping gas are the owner or his son. A real family business, something we're seeing less of these days.
Obviously someone who has never run a business. The credit card processors rape you with fees and eat into your already thin profit margins. Who do you think pays for the rewards on your credit card anyway? These guys sell gas cheaper than everyone else, it is only reasonable that they want to keep their costs low.
What foreigners? You mean the indians at NJ gas stations? 9 out of 10 times they own the gas station, or they a relative of the owner (son or brother usually), and 9 out of 10 times they are natural born US citizens... we're not issuing H-1Bs for people to pump gas.
Yep, this toll is 100% Jon "MF" Corzine's doing.
Libs love to blame Bush for everything yet blame Christie for their guy's toll increase. Gotta love 'em.
post of the day, LOL
High time to end the war on drugs.
Howdy coachmen!
I would hope that random vehicles won't just go around catching fire and exploding, although it is not unheard of.
I wouldn't be surprised if it is arson. Despite the fact that it is quiet out here, stuff still happens from time to time.
Nobody i know of goes to St Claire's anyway. Any time there is a major accident or emergency, people either go to Newton or are airlifted to other hospitals, usually in Morris County.
In their case it probably was a win-win tax wise.
When Sussex and Wantage tried to consolidate, what happened was that Wantage taxes would go up and Sussex Borough taxes would go down. This meant that wantage taxpayers would be footing the bill for a tax break for sussex borough... State aid would offset it but with all of the cuts who knows how long it would last.
Utilities maintain trees near the power lines. JCP&L and PSE&G are private companies run by corporations. There are a few municipal utilities and one cooperative (Sussex Rural).
Christie has nothing to do with it.

Apple Watch launches in New Zealand, Turkey, and Russia
The Apple Watch has made its way to three new countries today, officially becoming available for purchase at Apple Stores in New Zealand, Turkey, and Russia. Apple CEO Tim Cook took to celebrate, noting that the company saw a great turnout in Istanbul for the launch:
Hello Istanbul! A great turnout for the launch of Apple Watch in Turkey today. pic.twitter.com/8J9fUxaFNi— Tim Cook (@tim_cook) July 31, 2015
The Apple Watch originally launched on April 24 to a small set of countries. However, as the strain on supply has eased a bit, we've seen the product launch in a number of other countries over the last month or so. Earlier this month, we also learned that the Apple Watch will become available for purchase at Best Buy stores in early August for the U.S., and a week later in Canada.
If you live in one of today's launch countries and just picked up an Apple Watch, be sure to check out our ultimate guide to setting up and using the Apple Watch.

Apple, BMW, may revive talks for Apple Car partnership at...
During a visit to BMW's Leipzig factory last year, Apple executives reportedly took interest in how the automaker manufactures its i3 electric vehicles. BMW was also apparently willing to talk about licensing parts. But for now, Apple apparently wants to go its own way, according to Reuters:
The dialogue ended without conclusion because Apple appears to want to explore developing a passenger car on its own, one of the sources said.
That said, both companies are said to be open to resuming talks for a potential partnership.
Apple is said to have been working on a major automotive project, dubbed the Apple Car by many, under the Project Titan moniker. The rumored vehicle is said to be electric and self-driving, with Apple targeting a 2020 release.

How to clean up your Mac's desktop
Don't leave your Mac desktop untidy and cluttered—clean it up today!
Most of us have a tendency to use our Mac desktops as a dumping ground, saving files there that we access frequently; unfortunately, those files can pile up, turning your desktop into a hot mess. As such, this is your Friday reminder to do yourself a favor and take a few minutes to clean up your Mac desktop. And use these tips to keep it tidy in the future!1. Organize desktop items into folders
You can keep your desktop from becoming a mound of files by grouping your documents and images into folders. Folders make it easier to keep track of related items, and they look nicer than random assortments of files over your desktop picture.
- Open the Finder.
- Click on the File menu.
- Select New Folder. (Alternately, hold down the command and shift keys and type n.)
- That will create a new folder on your Desktop. Name the folder.
- Drag the files you'd like to include in the new folder.
- Alternatively, you can select files on the Desktop you'd like to group together, then go to the File menu and choose New folder with selection to create a new folder that includes those items.
You can also have the Finder align and sort items to keep any documents and folders you do have looking nicer and neater. You can do this by going to Finder > View and using the Clean Up and Sort By options.
- Open the Finder.
- Select the View menu.
- Click on Clean Up By.
Options include cleaning up by name, kind, date created, date modified, size and tags. Select the criterion you'd like to clean up the icons by; the Finder will do the rest.
Open the Finder.
- Select the View menu.
- Select Sort By to automatically sort items on the desktop by the criteria you set. If the icons have gone a bit askew, select Snap to Grid to get them to fall into a geometric pattern.
You can also adjust the size of the icons, spacing of the grid and other settings.3. Customize desktop view options in the Finder
- Open the Finder.
- Select the View menu.
- Select Show View Options. (Alternately, hold down the command key and type j.)
- You can adjust icon size from small to large, adjust grid spacing, increase or decrease the size of label text and its position on the bottom or the right of the icon, and other criteria.
Hopefully this helped you clean out those digital desktop cobwebs! If you're having trouble, just drop a note in the comments and we'll look into it.

Yes, iCloud Music Library has metadata-matching issues, b...
Matching songs is hard, and Apple Music's not doing too well with it. But you can keep it from messing up your library pretty easily.
Earlier this week, Kirk McElhearn posted a rather-worrying article about iCloud Music Library's "matching" algorithms.
As you might know, Apple offers the iCloud Music Library service as part of Apple Music and iTunes Match. This scans your Mac's music library and attempts to do two things: "match" tracks in your library with songs in the Apple Music or iTunes Store catalog (which catalog depends on which service you're subscribed to), and upload songs it can't match directly to iCloud.
From McElhearn:
If you've used iTunes Match in the past, you may know that it matches music using acoustic fingerprinting, which means that iTunes scans the music, and matches it to the same music. It doesn't matter what tags files have: you could have, say, a Grateful Dead song labeled as a song by 50 Cent, and iTunes Match will match the Grateful Dead song correctly...
Apple Music, however, works differently. It does not use the more onerous (in time and processing power) acoustic fingerprinting technique, but simply uses the tags your files contain. And it can lead to errors.
This means that by changing metadata on a track, you may be able to "fool" Apple Music into matching it with a different track in your iCloud Music Library.
Does this suck? Yep. It's also likely a bug, and I have no doubt that the folks at Apple are well aware of it and working hard to make sure it happens as infrequently as possible—preferably not at all.I can't reproduce it in my iTunes Match/AM hybrid library, or my boyfriend's Apple Music-only library
I have both an iTunes Match and Apple Music subscription, and decided to duplicate McElhearn's testing to see if I could get the same results. Answer: Not really.
I used my auxiliary MacBook Pro which has a handful of local songs; most are stored in iCloud Music Library, matched with my desktop iMac.
I did this test three times for both a matched and uploaded track: First, I saved a copy of an AC/DC track that iTunes Match had matched to my desktop and reuploaded it to iTunes as The Weeknd's "Can't Feel My Face"; upon local deletion and redownload, the track remained AC/DC's music, though it kept the erroneous metadata I'd assigned it.
For the uploaded track, I added a 7-minute voice test I did for The Incomparable Radio Theatre on the Air, and labeled it as Foreigner's Juke Box Hero. Interestingly, when I first uploaded the track to iCloud, it very briefly matched as Apple Music; when I deleted it from my hard drive, however, the track reverted to showing as "Uploaded" in my iTunes library, and upon redownload, played the same 7-minute test as before. On redownload I did get pretty Foreigner album art, however.
Update: I also ran these tests three times on my boyfriend's Apple Music-only library, with both an uploaded Incomparable track and an Apple Music-matched Billy Joel song (trying to transform it into a Weeknd song). No mis-matching.What does this mean?
Likely what I've been saying about Apple Music, iCloud Music Library, and Match from the start: Matching tracks is hard, and if you're trying to trick a complicated system, or have unique tracks that Apple's never scanned before, you're likely not going to be too happy. Unfortunately, I suspect this is the nature of the matching game—doing this on such a large scale requires active user testing, and that means bugs and mistakes.
From my tests, it looks as though Apple is still using acoustic fingerprinting for iTunes Match accounts, but may be augmenting this with metadata matching for Apple Music. I wouldn't be surprised if, due to the whole "having to connect to the Internet" thing, Apple Music's metadata matching occasionally happens before iTunes Match's fingerprinting; if you happen to immediately delete your track as it's processing, you may wind up accidentally with an Apple Music track.
And yes: On this, Apple has failed. iCloud Photo Library was very smartly released as a beta, because of similar syncing issues and testing that needed to happen. iCloud Music Library wasn't, nor was it released with comprehensive documentation or even a warning to back up before upgrading. As a result, quite a few people have seen their home music libraries show up as bizarro copies on their auxiliary devices; those who don't have backups are even worse off.
That's devastating to both users and Apple. There are so many great things about iCloud Music Library and Apple Music, but right now, they're getting overwhelmed on social media and in the press by users having serious issues with their libraries and apps. Songs that mis-match, albums that won't download, buttons that don't work. Every time the service errors, people feel less-inclined to trust Apple with their cloud data, and consider alternatives that may be more stable, but not as secure. It's a shame.I'm nervous now. Should I not use iCloud Music Library?
That largely depends on your library and what's in it. If you mostly have purchased tracks and ripped songs from studio albums, you should be fine with iCloud Music Library—but make a backup just in case. Remember: iCloud Music Library is, ultimately, making a secondary copy with its matching and uploading. You'll get these matched and uploaded copies when you download tracks on secondary devices, but it shouldn't mess with tracks local to your hard drive. And please: Do not use iCloud Music Library as your backup. It was never designed as a backup service.
Shouldn't and doesn't, however, are two different things, and as I said before—matching is hard. So if you have a history of problems with your Mac's iTunes library and you're concerned about iCloud Music Library messing up your tracks, it's simple: Just don't use it.
For those that are having problems—either matching or otherwise—turning off iCloud Music Library and restoring from a local backup of your music should bring everything back to normal. I made a really handy guide last week for people who want to use Apple Music without iCloud Music Library, which details a few different ways you can set up your devices to prevent your primary library from getting screwed up.
Make a backup. Turn off iCloud Music Library. Check our our troubleshooting guide. Call Apple. Or ping us in the comments if you're confused about this whole thing and this didn't help straighten it out.
Updated 2:07PM EDT to add tests on an AM-only library.

How to make Apple Music's Connect not suck
Can't figure out how to use Connect? Don't panic: We're here to help.
In theory, Apple Music's Connect is a wonderful part of the service: It lets you view and hear new images, videos, songs, playlists, interviews, and blogs from your favorite musicians, DJs, and Apple Music curators.
"But..." I've had some people say. "I'm not following anyone I want to. How do I follow Imogen Heap? How do I hear the St Vincent's show form Beats 1 everyone's talking about?"
Good news: Apple may not have made it obvious, but following people on Connect (and unfollowing them) is easy: All you have to do is search for the artist, DJ, or show you want to listen to.
- Open the Music app.
- Tap the Search icon in the upper right corner and type in the artist, DJ, or show you're looking for.
- Scroll to Curators/Artists and select the person or show in question.
- Tap the Follow button to start following them on Connect.
- Open iTunes and click the New tab.
- Click on the Search bar in the upper right corner and type in the artist, DJ, or show you're looking for.
- Scroll to Curators/Artists and select the person or show in question.
- Tap the Follow button to start following them on Connect.
In iTunes on your Mac or the Music app on your iPhone, click or tap the Connect tab. This tab displays recent posts from all the artists, curators, DJs, and shows you're following, from newest to oldest.
If you want to see a specific artist's page, all you need to do is tap on their name from your Connect stream, or search for them by name.
Once you've found the page you want, you have a few options for interacting with the page. You can: - choose to follow or unfollow the artist, curator, DJ, or show - share a link via email, messages, Twitter, or Facebook - Check out the page's Featured music (which can contain Connect-only music and playlists), Playlists, or Connect-only content.
If you see a post on Connect you want to share with the world, all you need to do is tap or click the Share button. From there, you can copy the link or share it via email, Twitter, Facebook, or Messages.
You may not have known this, but you can download any content on Connect labeled a "Song": This includes actual songs, interviews, or even full Beats 1 shows. The option is slightly hidden, but here's how to find it.On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
- Open the Music app and tap the Connect tab.
- Tap the song in question you want to download to start playing it.
- Tap on the More ellipses icon, then tap Add to My Music.
- Open iTunes and select the Connect tab.
- Click on the song in question that you want to download to start playing it.
- Tap on the More ellipses icon, then tap Add to My Music.
Still have questions on Connect? Let us know in the comments and we'll try our best to answer them.

How to permanently delete your Snapchat account
Snapchat is fun, fast, and super-popular, but it's not for everyone all the time. And that's okay.
Snapchat can be really fun for sending quick snaps to your friends or looking at specialty content like the Beats 1 DJs being silly. But it's not for everyone.
If you made a Snapchat account and you've decided that you're done, you can permanently delete your account in just a few easy steps using a web browser. (Sadly, you can't delete your account right from the Snapchat app for iPhone.) Deleting your account ensures that you'll no longer be able to see or receive any new snaps from fellow Snapchat users.How to permanently delete your Snapchat account
- Go to https://support.snap.../delete-account in any web browser. You can even use Safari on your iPhone or iPad.
- Enter your Snapchat username and password.
- Check the box confirming you aren't a robot.
- Click on Submit.
- Re-enter your password on the next page
- Click on Delete My Account.
Just remember that once you delete your account, there's no going back. If you want to make sure it's really deleted, just attempt to log in using your old credentials. If it's gone, there'll be no way to log back in.

As the death toll from Brazil's devastating floods tops 600, local media and experts are blaming state and municipal authorities for failing to invest adequately in disaster prevention and urban planning, and mismanaging and cutting state funds allocated for disaster prevention and preparation.
In one of Brazil's worst natural disasters in decades, deadly mudslides triggered by torrential rains in the mountains north of the city of Rio de Janeiro have caused rivers to burst their banks, destroyed hundreds of homes and cut off affected communities.
The tourist town of Teresópolis, around 60 miles north of Rio, has been one of the worst hit areas where at least 130 residents have been killed by mud and debris.
For many Brazilians, the high death toll caused by the latest flooding is an all too familiar tale and one that can be largely prevented. The question affected communities are asking is - why does this keep on happening every year?
Brazil's O Globo newspaper was quick to highlight the lack of investment on disaster prevention by state governors and local municipalities. The newspaper also said that the Brazilian government has failed to put in place effective early warning systems against natural disasters. (Links are in Portuguese)
Contas Abertas, a Brazilian non-governmental organisation that monitors government spending, also says the authorities are not investing enough in disaster prevention. In some cases, it says, local authorities are diverting funds allocated to disaster management for other purposes. The organisation also says the federal budget for disaster prevention and preparation was down 18 percent in 2010.
Local journalist Gabriel Castro, in a blog for media outlet Veja, says the Brazilian government only spent 39 percent of its budget allocated for disaster prevention in 2010.
Other media reports have focused on the failure of mayors and local municipal officials to control poor building and the illegal construction of homes in Brazil's ever expanding slum areas, locally known as favelas.
Here over the decades, poor families have built makeshift houses, often without permission, in areas at risk of flooding and landslides. Often it is these homes, built precariously on the edges of steep hill-top slums, which are the first to be destroyed in heavy rains.
It is a pressing issue that President Dilma Rousseff, who took office on Jan 1, highlighted as she toured flood hit areas last week.
"In Brazil, it is the rule that people live in areas of risk. Not an exception," she told local media.
"When there aren't housing policies, where are people who earn no more than twice the minimum wage going to live?" she added.
State authorities estimate nearly 20,000 people live in areas vulnerable to flooding and landslides in the city of Rio de Janeiro alone. The floods have prompted calls for local authorities to step up their efforts to remove people from their homes and relocate them, however unpopular. But many people living in flood-prone areas say they have nowhere else to go.
The recent floods have also exposed the lack of affordable housing for low-income families in Brazil's major cities. It is a problem, along with reducing poverty, which Rousseff has promised to address as she takes the helm of one of the world's leading emerging economies and a nation that aspires to attain developed-nation status.
In the wake of the flooding, the government has earmarked nearly $500 million to provide humanitarian assistance, build new homes, and invest in infrastructure and flood prevention measures. It also recently announced a three-year $1 billion package for drainage and slope stabilisation to prevent future flooding in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
Basic flood-prevention measures such as unblocking drains, putting proper sewage systems in place, preventing soil erosion, and constructing houses away from river banks and areas at risk of landslides and flooding, can all help reduce the devastation caused by heavy rains and help save lives, experts say.
In neighoubouring Colombia, where recent flooding has claimed over 300 lives, similar questions about the lack of disaster prevention and the urgent need to relocate thousands of people living in high-risk areas, are also dominating the headlines.

Economic development plan based on points system
WARRENTON — Warren County has a new points-based policy geared to economic development.
County commissioners gave approval Monday evening, hoping to attract new businesses or help existing businesses expand.
Developed by interim Economic Development Director Peggy Richardson and consultant Gabe Cumming, the policy provides a method to evaluate the financial and environmental impact of a business and offer grants to offset a portion of the company's property tax. Points will be awarded for the number and quality of jobs created and the level of capital investment by a new or existing business. Additional points may be awarded for such factors as in-county purchases, ownership by women or minorities and environmental impact.
The largest possible grant will equal 90 percent of the company's property tax, and will be reduced each year over a five-year period. The grant awards will be made only after the company has paid its annual property tax. No funds are required by the county up front.
In other business by the commissioners, Gloria Edmonds was appointed finance director. She replaces Barry Mayo, who resigned Dec. 27 to take a similar position with Hoke County.
Edmonds has 21 years of experience in local government finance and served as interim finance officer for 10 months in 2006-2007. She has held the position of accounting manager since 2007.
Also, commissioners:
• approved a job classification schedule for Warren County employees.
• gave the tax administrator permission to grant extensions of time for listing taxes to property owners who show good cause.
• approved a request by Franklin-Vance-Warren Opportunity, Inc. to submit a Community Service Block Grant application to provide career coaching, job preparation and placement to 150 individuals now lacking education and skills. The amount to be requested is $504,476.
• renewed the performance bond for the finance director.
• adopted a resolution creating a Warren County Local Food Promotion Council.
• re-appointed Charles Jefferson to the Senior Center Advisory Council.
• adopted a resolution conveying several items of surplus furniture to Freedom House of Norlina and to the Warren County Community Center for the price of $1 for each organization.
• declared surplus an HP LaserJet 1320 Printer and Doppler that are no longer used by the Health Department and authorized their sale at auction.

The uniformity of layered paper sheets produced using a layered headbox can be improved by confining the outer layers between parallel surfaces within the headbox immediately prior to leaving the headbox.
1. A method for forming a layered paper web comprising issuing a layered stream of papermaking fibers from a multiple channel headbox with converging rigid headbox lips into a forming zone, wherein immediately prior to leaving the headbox, each of the two outermost layers of the layered stream of papermaking fibers is confined between a pair of substantially parallel surfaces, wherein each pair of parallel surfaces is an extended headbox divider and a flexible headbox lip extension which is attached to a respective rigid headbox lip.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the extended headbox dividers and the flexible headbox lip extensions are substantially coterminous.
3. A method for forming a layered tissue web using a multiple channel headbox having sidewalls terminating at converging rigid headbox lips and having a slice opening between the headbox lips, said method comprising issuing a layered stream of papermaking fibers from the slice opening of the headbox into a forming zone defined in part by converging forming wires, wherein each of the two outermost layers of the stream of papermaking fibers is confined between a flexible extended headbox divider and a flexible headbox lip extension which is attached to a respective rigid headbox lip and is substantially parallel to the flexible extended headbox divider.
4. The method of claim 3 wherein the extended headbox divider(s) and the flexible headbox lip extensions extend from about 6 to about 12 inches from the headbox slice opening.
5. The method of claim 3 wherein the flexible headbox lip extensions and the extended headbox divider(s) are substantially coterminous.
6. In a multiple channel headbox for making layered paper, said headbox comprising sidewalls terminating at converging rigid headbox lips and having converging channels terminating at the headbox lips, the improvement comprising at least one flexible headbox divider in said headbox which extends beyond the headbox lips and two flexible headbox lip extensions each attached to a respective rigid headbox lip and extending parallel to and at least about as far as the extended headbox divider.
7. The headbox of claim 6 wherein the headbox lip extensions extend from about 6 to about 12 inches beyond the headbox lips.
8. The headbox of claim 6 wherein the headbox lip extensions are longer than the extended headbox divider(s).
9. The headbox of claim 6 wherein the headbox lip extensions are substantially coterminous with the extended headbox divider(s).
In the manufacture of tissue and other paper products, it is often advantageous to form the paper web in distinct layers of different fiber compositions. Layered headboxes having internal dividers are well known in the art for achieving this objective. In some of these layered headboxes the dividers extend outwardly beyond the slice opening of the headbox. In others the dividers fall short of the slice opening. While the headboxes having the extended dividers generally provide improved layer purity, they still suffer drawbacks from the standpoint of outer layer uniformity. This is of particular concern in the manufacture of relatively light basis weight products such as facial and bath tissue, especially in tissue making processes which employ long free jets emanating from the headbox such as twin wire forming processes. Therefore there is a need to improve the design and performance of layered headboxes to provide improved outer layer uniformity.
It has now been determined that the uniformity of the outer layer of a tissue sheet or web can be improved by confining the outer layer between two substantially parallel surfaces and reducing the length of the free jet emanating from the headbox. It is postulated that undampened turbulence and secondary flows in the outer layer cause the outer layers to blend with the center layers or break up in the free jet, thereby degrading the uniformity of those layers. By dampening this turbulence and eliminating secondary flows with an outer surface which is parallel or substantially parallel to the direction of flow, the formation in the outer layer is improved. Depending on the flexibility of the parallel surfaces and the dynamics of the process, the surfaces may be parallel, slightly converging, or slightly diverging. It is nevertheless believed that their relative angular positions are within about 1� of each other. This invention is particularly advantageous when used in connection with twin wire forming processes, in which the forming zone is defined by converging forming wires, because such formers frequently have long free jets. Also, such formers are often used for making low basis weight products such as facial tissue, bath tissue, paper towels, dinner napkins, and the like, where layer nonuniformities are more evident. Such products have basis weights in the range of from about 5 to about 40 pounds per 2880 square feet per ply.
Hence, in one aspect the invention resides in a method for forming a layered paper web comprising issuing a layered stream of papermaking fibers from a multiple channel headbox into a forming zone, wherein immediately prior to leaving the headbox, at least one of the two outer layers of the layered stream of papermaking fibers is confined between two parallel surfaces. Advantageously, the two parallel surfaces can be the rigid inside surface of the headbox wall and a headbox divider. Preferably, the two parallel surfaces are a flexible headbox lip extension and a flexible extended headbox divider, which in operation will be substantially parallel at steady state due to their flexibility. Particularly in twin wire forming processes, because of space restrictions due to the size of commercial headboxes and the forming zone geometry, the headbox lips can only extend so far into the forming zone defined by the converging forming wires. Hence for purposes of this invention the lip extensions are preferred because they not only dampen the turbulence generated and secondary flows within the headbox, but they can also shorten the free jet length to a greater extent than more cumbersome heavy-walled headbox lips.
In another aspect, the invention resides in a multiple channel papermaking headbox having one or more internal dividers and a slice opening defined by the lips of the headbox walls, wherein during operation at least one of the headbox walls is substantially parallel to an adjacent internal divider, thereby creating a parallel stock flow channel immediately prior to the slice opening.
In a further aspect, the invention resides in an improved multiple channel headbox having converging channels terminating at a slice opening defined by the lips of the headbox walls, the improvement comprising at least one flexible headbox divider which extends beyond the slice opening and at least one flexible headbox lip extension which extends beyond the slice opening and is sufficiently flexible to be substantially parallel to the extended divider during operation of the headbox. It is preferred that the headbox lip extension extend the same distance as the extended headbox divider such that they are substantially coterminous. It is preferred that both headbox lips are provided with headbox lip extensions, although improvements can be achieved with only one headbox lip extension on either the top or the bottom of the headbox.
The extent to which the headbox lip extensions and the extended dividers extend beyond the slice opening can vary depending upon the particular headbox, the operating conditions and the desired results. In general, however, the extensions should be as long as is practical in order to reduce the free jet length to a minimum. Free jets can typically be about 17 inches or more for some commercial headboxes and it has been found that extensions sufficient to reduce the free jet length to about 6 inches or less are sufficient to obtain uniformity improvements in the outer layers. The down side of reducing the free jet too much is the potential for damaging the forming fabrics if they are contacted by any of the headbox components. In all situations, this risk must be balanced against the gains in formation possible by using this invention.
As previously mentioned, the two parallel surfaces, such as the extended dividers and the headbox lip extensions, are preferably substantially coterminous. This means that they extend into or toward the forming zone substantially the same distance. If the two parallel surfaces are of different lengths, it is preferred that the outer surface be the longer of the two in order to reduce the free jet length as much as possible. Preferably any difference in length is less than about 25 percent or less, however, because differences in length can be a source of turbulence formation. It should also be mentioned that the lengths of each pair of parallel surfaces can be different for the top and bottom of the headbox, particularly if the forming zone geometry is not symmetrical.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional schematic of the forming zone of a conventional twin wire tissue making process showing the relationship of the headbox slice opening and the free jet relative to the form roll and the breast roll.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a prior art multiple channel headbox having extended dividers.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a multiple channel headbox in accordance with this invention having headbox lip extensions coterminous with the adjacent extended headbox dividers.
FIG. 4A is a black and white digital image, produced by a digital image analyzer, of tissue made in a conventional manner with a headbox having three extended (6 inches) headbox dividers, but without the headbox lip extensions of this invention. White areas represent fibers from the center layers of the tissue which are exposed on the surface of the tissue. (See Examples.)
FIG. 4B is a black and white digital image of a tissue made in accordance with this invention using a headbox having three extended (6 inches) headbox dividers and two headbox lip extensions (6 inches). Note the decrease in white areas compared to FIG. 4A.
Referring to FIG. 1, a setting for this invention will be described in greater detail. Shown is a typical headbox 1 having extended dividers 2, issuing a free jet 3 of an aqueous suspension of papermaking fibers into the space between converging forming surfaces defined by a forming roll 4 and breast roll 5. The forming roll is partially wrapped by a first forming wire or fabric 6 and the breast roll is partially wrapped by a second forming wire or fabric 7. The free jet, which can be about one inch thick, impacts the forming wire on the forming roll, which may be solid or vacuum assisted. The angle of impingement of the free jet and its point of impact can be different for different processes and forming geometry. The fibers are deposited onto the forming wire while water is removed. If the forming roll is a vacuum roll, water is removed through the wire wrapping the forming roll by vacuum suction and through the wire wrapping the breast roll by forming pressure as the embryonic web is sandwiched between the two wires. The newly-formed wet web is then further processed in any suitable manner to produce a paper or tissue web. Such processing typically includes further dewatering, drying, creping, winding and converting to the desired product form.
FIG. 2 is a more detailed cross-sectional partial view of a conventional layered headbox 1 having extended dividers as shown in FIG. 1. Shown is the upper headbox wall 10 which ends at the upper headbox lip 11. The lower headbox wall 12 ends at the lower headbox lip 13. The space between the upper headbox lip and the lower headbox lip is sometimes referred to herein as the slice opening. The headbox is ultimately divided into four flow channels by internal headbox dividers 15,16, and 17. Upstream of the slice opening, however, the headbox is further divided into additional flow channels by internal dividers or vanes 18, 19, 20, and 21, which serve to generate fine scale turbulence in the headbox. Because of the required thinness of the extended dividers at their tips, the extended dividers are inherently flexible. The headbox walls, however, are rigid and their relative positions are fixed during operation but can be controllably adjusted by an adjustment means such as the pivotable rod 25 shown attached to the lower headbox lip. Typical angles of convergence for top and bottom headbox walls of commercially available headboxes can be from 15� to 19�. Note that as various feedstocks pass through the multiple flow channels of the headbox, they converge until they reach the region of the slice opening, where all flows quickly transition to substantially parallel. At this point in the process, the outer layers of stock flow are not confined and are free to expand as dictated by any turbulent forces and secondary flows which exist as a result of the upstream conditions.
FIG. 3 is a preferred embodiment of a headbox in accordance with this invention. In particular, shown is the upper headbox wall 10, the lower headbox wall 12, and extended dividers 15, 16, and 17. Also shown are flexible headbox lip extensions 31 and 32 which are coterminous with the headbox dividers. The headbox lip extensions can be attached to the headbox by any suitable means, but in the embodiment shown they abut the headbox lips and are supported by an upper support 33 and a lower support 34. Compared to designing the headbox with rigid walls which become parallel to the internal dividers (which is also within the scope of this invention), this embodiment is preferred because of its versatility for use in retrofitting existing headboxes and its thinner profile which enables placement of the headbox closer to the forming zone.
In order to illustrate the effectiveness of the method and headbox of this invention, the uniformity and purity of eight different three-layered tissue samples made on a twin wire former were compared. The center stock layers of the tissues comprised a 50/50 blend by weight of northern softwood kraft pulp (primarily spruce) and northern hardwood kraft pulp (primarily aspen), while each outer stock layer comprised a 50/50 blend by weight of eucalyptus pulp and the same northern softwood pulp. To enhance visual perception of layer uniformity and purity, the fibers in each outer layer were dyed blue and the fibers in each center layer were dyed orange. In all cases the tissue sheets were formed, dried and creped at 3200 feet per minute and thereafter visually compared for outer layer uniformity based on the ability to observe orange fibers in the outer surfaces. The four cases are summarized in the table below (basis weights expressed as pounds per 2880 square feet). In each case, the tissues were made without the headbox lip extensions and, for comparison, with headbox lip extensions (6 inch extensions, both top and bottom).
______________________________________Extended Dividers Basis Weight Form Roll______________________________________Case #1 Three, 6 inches 10 SolidCase #2 Two, 6 inches 10 SolidCase #3 Two, 2 inches 10 SolidCase #4 Three, 6 inches 17 Suction______________________________________
In each case, the tissues made in accordance with this invention using headbox lip extensions had improved outer layer uniformity as evidenced by fewer and smaller orange blotches and streaks appearing in the outer surfaces. As an example, the effect on the appearance of the tissue for Case #4 is shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, where a digital image analyzer has been used to map blue areas to black and orange areas to white for illustration. Penetration of the orange (light areas of the digital image) is substantially reduced with the use of the headbox lip extensions as shown in FIG. 4B.
To confirm the results described above, the contamination of the roll side outer layer by aspen fibers from the center layer was quantified by measuring the quantity of aspen fibers in the outer layer. The fraction of aspen fibers in the roll side layer, expressed as weight percent aspen fibers per weight percent aspen fibers plus eucalyptus fibers, was compared in sheets made with and without headbox lip extensions of this invention for all four cases described above. In all four cases, the penetration of center layer aspen fibers into the roll side outer layer was reduced from about 10 to about 25 percent by using the headbox lip extensions in accordance with this invention.
It will be appreciated that the foregoing description of this invention, given for purposes of illustration, is not to be construed as limiting the scope of this invention, which is intended to include all equivalents thereto.

This Gi is super light and comfortable without sacrificing durability. Rubber core collar for quick drying and no sour smell. I bought the Black one and it faded a little on the second washing but is staying that color now. A couple guys in my gym have the white ones and they love it too. My only advice would be to spend the extra money to make sure you get the Pre-shrunk one. It is totally true to size.

There are few places where a person can eat in this town and be treated so well. The owner here will tell you what's on his menu (it will be different every day depending on what's in the kitchen), and the food will be fresh. Here, you know who makes your food, and you know they care about it. This is a hometown restaurant, truly. Even to the out-of-towner.

I work right on 38th St, and eat here almost every single day. They have an awesome breakfast and lunch buffet, sandwich station, sushi station, create your own salad station and mongolian bar. No matter what you're in the mood for, you'll find something here. Everything is delicious, and the service is impeccable. What's more, the prices are extremely reasonable for the quality. Definitely worth a try!

Pergola is an upscale cafeteria. It is always perfectly clean, and the food is always 100% fresh and colorful. The assortment of different options make it a place you can visit every single day, without getting sick of it. There is a seating area upstairs which is a large enough size that you never have to wait. The Mongolian BBQ is unbelievable. The sushi is fresh, yet the pieces are slightly small. The sandwiches are inventive and delicious - breads are always fresh, and the meats are always perfect. The create-your-own-salad section is gorgeous. The soups are good as well. And the hot food section always looks and smells delicious. If you work in midtown and are looking for somewhere new, this is your place. Check it out!

Game Description
Desire an amazing game that won't make you feel bored? Come and accept the challenge of Ball Lines! Your task in this game is to move and connect the balls, so that 5 or more balls of the same color form a straight line in vertical, horizontal or diagonal direction and then be destroyed. In the game you will be given a 9x9 grid which contains a few balls of different colors. To move a ball, click and drag a line to an empty block, then click the position again. The ball will then move to occupy the block. Continue the process until a line of at least 5 identical balls is formed, then the whole line of balls will be removed. The star symbols on the board indicate the positions and colors of the new balls that will appear after each move, but you may still use other balls to fill those positions before the new balls appear. The required amount of destroyed groups of balls is shown on the left of the screen, and your score will be recorded at the top left corner. If the board is filled with balls, you lose the game. Enter the colorful cascades and experience the fun now!

Dana Gibson's elegant drawings
In Victorian times, illustrators for popular magazines had as much influence on people as movies and television do today.
Just as we now look for fashion ideas and moral inspiration from celebrities, actors, or musicians, so the Americans of the 1890's and first two decades of the past century found their hopes and ideals expressed in the pen-and-ink drawings of Charles Dana Gibson.
Many writers have attempted to describe the Gibson Girl, but Susan E. Meyer, in her book America's Great Illustrators did it best and most simply:
Then "inventor" of this elegant, willowy image of feminine beauty was born on September 7, 1867 in Roxbury, Massachusetts, a descendant of sturdy, hard-working New England stock.
His father was a Civil War lieutenant who dabbled as an amateur artist, and his mother was a warm-hearted spontaneous woman who lavished affection and encouragement on her five children. During a childhood illness, Gibson's father taught him how to make silhouettes of people, animals, and trees, and eventually Charles became so adept at it that when he was twelve, his parents entered his work in an exhibition that gained him his first recognition as an artist.

Ha! A year from now you should do a followup and show that they never replace the dead guy. Just a husk of a body and some cobwebs. Nicely done, sir.
They shrug their shoulders, "Meh, what are you gonna do" and walk away (meanwhile in their heads the same scenario is playing out)
Mayby the motivation guy's motivation died first?

Heidelberg Christmas Market
From: 2015.11.21 To: 2015.12.22
Official website:
Heidelberg's Christmas market extends over no fewer than five squares: Kornmarkt, Marktplatz, Universitätsplatz, Anatomiegarten and Bismarckplatz. It is great for a leisurely browse and has stunning views of the castle and the old quarter with its beautiful Christmas decorations. A wide array of crafts and tasty regional delicacies all add to the Christmas spirit in the historic town of Heidelberg. A new attraction at the Heidelberg Christmas market is "Christmas on Ice" situated on Karlsplatz. With a spectacular view of the Castle and surrounded by trees glistening with hundreds of stars, residents and guests can skate round the open-air ice rink to the accompaniment of Christmas music. Another premiere and fascinating experience will be the Art-Advent Calendar at Heidelberg Castle, which has already decorated the Vienna City Hall and will be seen, for the very first time in Germany, here in Heidelberg. From 1st to 24th December, the windows of the English building serve as a multidimensional advent calendar from behind which the works of prominent personalities will appear. From original works, backlit duplicates are produced and tailor-made to be integrated into the facade of the Heidelberg Castle.

This weekly course covers the most common questions videographers encounter when shooting and editing with DSLR cameras, from choosing a frame size and frame rate to understanding moiré. Authors Rich Harrington and Robbie Carman will also help you understand the impacts of compression and the difference between cropped (or micro 4/3rds) and full-sized sensors in cameras, and much more. This continual FAQ guide is a handy way to find the answers to the questions that plague you the most.
Male 1: So, in situations where you need a little bit more of a reflective surface in a larger size, a shiny board is a perfect option. Not only does it have more physical size of reflective surface, as you can see here, it actually doesn't need to be held. This particular one I just have mounted onto a C-Stand. I have this frame here mounted to the C-Stand, and then these little bolts right here actually position the shiny board. So the cool thing about shiny boards, is that if your on a really tight budget, you can actually make the shiny board yourself. Simply get a piece of heavy duty card board or foam board or something like that.
And just put some tin foil on it. That's pretty cheap. But here I actually have a professional shiny board and this particular one has two different reflective surfaces on it. So this front surface that I'm looking at right now is really shiny. And this is called as silver lumen. This going to give you a nice direct sort of reflection, on to the subject that you are recording. However over on this side, I have an other pattern. This is refer to as a honeycomb. A honeycomb is a great pattern to use, when you want a less harsh light on your subject. But still want to be able to reflect or bounce some natural light on to what you are recording.
And the other great thing about the shiny board, is that you can position it however you need. So you can rotate it, you can tilt it up and down, however you want the light to bounce onto your subject. And it's a great, very useful, and relatively cheap tool that you should always have with you. When you're in an outdoor location, and you want to use natural light, but you want that natural light to shine in a really nice, sort of positive way on the subject that you're trying to record.

Alarm Monitoring
Whether you want to monitor your alarm system over a broadband Internet connection or over a cellular network, whether you want professional full dispatch service or a fully automated, web based DIY service, we provide cutting edge VoIP compatible alarm monitoring solutions direct to consumers.
For those of you who like full control over your system, we provide you with 24 hour web access to your account and full control over who receives email and text alerts. With landlines on their way out, there has never been a better time to upgrade your monitoring service and make full use of your Internet connection. If you prefer the comfort of knowing that a trained operator will handle all your alarm events and bring them to a safe conclusion, then we make it very easy for you to add on our operator assisted, full dispatch monitoring service.
VoIP Solutions
You are probably already well aware that alarm signals do not generally communicate reliably when sent over the network of a 3rd party VoIP service provider. IP Alarms have developed an in depth understanding of alarm transmission over IP and can show you that once the VoIP provider is removed from the equation, it is perfectly reliable to use regular, "off the shelf" Cisco/Linksys equipment for communication with your existing monitoring company. Our VoIP technology is compatible with all Central Stations, all alarm panels and all alarm formats. You can use the Compatibility Menu to obtain additional information about some of the most popular monitoring providers.
What are the Advantages of VoIP Maximize?
The main advantage is that you can disconnect your landline phone service yet keep your existing alarm monitoring service as long as you have an Internet connection. You do not need to have your alarm panel reprogrammed and your alarm monitoring company will not even know anything has changed. Two-way voice, DTMF, Pulse and FSK alarm formats are all supported.
If you have a Cisco/Linksys device already - you are welcome to use it. If not, our VoIP Otimize techology allows you to use whatever VoIP equipment and service you have at home already. You can conveniently pickup Cisco adapters from your local consumer electronics store or purchase one online. Where your VoIP device has two lines, it is possible to use line 1 for alarm monitoring and line 2 for voice service with any VoIP provider that supports "Bring your own Device".
How does VoIP Maximize work?
When our custom alarm monitoring settings are downloaded into any "off the shelf" Cisco/Linksys VoIP ATA, they enable the device to act as an IP alarm transmitter that has full control of the IP network environment between your alarm panel and your monitoring company. In this mode, the device does not use your VoIP service at all. It makes a call to our telco partner over the Internet and they transfer the call onto the landline phone network where it is connected to the alarm receivers at your existing alarm monitoring company. In summary, calls go out from your home or business via the Internet and then into your monitoring provider over a regular phone line.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Will VoIP Maximize work with my ADT alarm system?
Is VoIP Maximize able to send signals to Reliance Protectron in Canada?
Do you offer special rates for multiple sites, Alarm Dealers or Monitoring Companies?
Can I use VoIP Maximize with a Monitronics security system?
Can I continue to use my Cellular backup equipment?
Yes. The Cisco SPA3102 model can function as part of a dual path solution by allowing Cellular backup. When an alarm panel dials the primary phone number, the signal goes via the Internet if available. If the signal fails, the panel will dial it's secondary phone number and the signal is passed through to the connected backup device. The SPA3102 costs around $65 and can be connected to any cellular backup device that supports Dialer Capture. This flexibility allows you to protect your investment in existing cellular backup equipment.
VoIP Maximize will work with the most popular alarm companies like ADT, Protection 1, Monitronics, Vivint, Vector Security, Guardian and Bay Alarm. It will work alongside popular VoIP services like Ooma, MagicJack, Skype, Vonage and many others. Our system defaults for use with US based toll free numbers, however, if your Monitoring Company is located in Canada or does not use toll free numbers, we can easily make adjustments accordingly.
Special offer for ADT Customers
Confirm that your security alarm system is monitored by ADT and show us a receipt for your purchase of a Cortelco 8211 Single Line VoIP Analog Terminal Adapter from Amazon and we will waive the usual $29 account activation fee.
We will provide you with a list of settings that you can manually enter into the Cortelco ATA to make it compatible with our VoIP solutions and ADT Alarm Monitoring Centers. More...

Below is the poem entitled Raleigh which was written by poet
Ballard. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Allison Ballard
It's days like this that my mind returns to Raleigh
The pitch, sandy futon, and our intertwined deviant legs
Pushing for a fix
I for one goal, you for another
I would be more aware by the end of the night
of the smoothness of your forehead, and your full Latin lips
While you would know my hips
and fistfuls of my golden hair
We would each know the fire on our tongues
and the familiar feeling of a heavy mind, tossing and turning
chest to chest
I loved you, but was surprised to find your hands rough
and your lips untempered
Like a child, you indulged in me
without the mind for what I am, or the culture to know better
Though still, you press and carry me
under the door frame, to the floor
and as we rest, night continues to sink, like theatre canvas
And We are disposed to move
With your golden skin, you lie
As your fingers trace circles in my skin
I thought that you loved me too...
But when my mind returns to Raleigh
My thoughts return to you
and your cold bed, our swimming heads
and how at dawn, you dropped me off
My bitten skin looking redder in the tail lights

In today's fast-paced, consumer-driven society, it is easy to get lost in the clutter of conformity. As a response the Mohawk Group emphasizes authenticity with Bending Earth II, a next-generation sequel to the Company's popular Bending Earth Collection. Inspired by the spiritual journey individuals are increasingly taking to find a sense of purpose, whether by shopping locally or rediscovering traditions, the Mohawk Group specifically created Bending Earth II to break the mold of mass consumerism with beautifully simple designs.
The modular carpet Collection negates present-day complexities with three captivating and purposefully understated patterns: Lateral Surface, Reflective Symmetry and Vanishing Point. Providing designers with styles that match the ebb and flow of design culture, Bending Earth II's patterns seamlessly blend simplistic natural elements with sleek, sophisticated motifs that emerge and fade into the surface. The result is a reflective environment that mirrors delicately balanced landscapes seen in the far corners of the world, offering end-users ultimate peace of mind in any space.
