Weekend Approved Project: Adopt a Tree
Measuring tape
Picnic Lunch
1. Picked a tree. Let the universe speak to you and help you pick the tree that needs you the most. Or just pick any old tree like I did. I know my kids should have helped pick it out, but I wanted to eliminate that fight. I said: Here kids, here's the tree we will be adopting. Not even a peep out of any of them! Perhaps the universe was telling them to keep their mouths shut and listen to mommy. Dear Universe: Where were you at bed time?
2. Measure the tree. I still can't believe I found my measuring tape in the exact drawer I last put it.
3. Color it: Draw a picture of the tree and do tree rubbings.
4. Enjoy the tree. Have a picnic, lay under the tree's shade, talk about it's leaves, and estimate how many leaves are on the tree. Perhaps you could also read books about trees. My favorites are the The Giving Tree, The Lorax, and A Tree is Nice. I didn't read any of these books, but for this post let's pretend I did.
5. Take a picture of the tree. One of my regrets about this activity is that I didn't take a picture of the tree with the kids. Oops. I'll do it this week.
6. Name the tree. This one is crucial. By this time the boys were totally over the activity. I think Ella was too. She named it: Round. Inspired? I think so.
There you have it: My simple weekend approved project. It's a fun way to spend an afternoon. Go for it!
I hope your weekend is great!! In honor of this post, I will ask that all your comments be submitted electronically. I know most of you prefer to mail in your comments. But together we can save an adoptable tree.

You always have such an obliging [and adorable] model! I approve of this weekend approved project! :DReplyDelete
Cute. I love those books too :)ReplyDelete
It appears from the photos that you have adopted a yellow birch. Congrats on the new addition! If you want another activity when you go back for more pics, break off a small branch and smell it. If it is a yellow birch, like I suspect, it should have a slight wintergreen smell. The joys of being an Arborist......ReplyDelete
I can't keep my mouth shut. THE GIVING TREE is an appalling book. The mother gives herself away until she's a stump? People, think about it. Who wants to buy into that kind of martyrdom?ReplyDelete
Awesome activity and awesome books!ReplyDelete
p.s. I agree and disagree with Louise. I love the giving tree. When I was younger it made me want to be giving, but to also not take advantage when things are given. It's all how you spin it! I hope that most parents would be willing/able to explain that both the tree and the boy were in the wrong :)

I am honored from head to toe...from tree leaf to trunk:) I am so excited you adopted a tree this weekend:) It is such a beautiful,simple way to spend time with the family. I love simple,inexpensive,fun activities to do. Many times those are the things my kids remember most about their time together:)ReplyDelete

I love this post!! So refreshing and the photos are beautiful. Thank you. I want to adopt a tree.ReplyDelete
good idea, your kids are SO cute.ReplyDelete
So cool! And I actually like the name Round! :)ReplyDelete

Love this idea. And it seems that Ella's tree and I have the same name.ReplyDelete

UVI board OKs plan for medical school
Published: April 22, 2014
Font size: [A] [A] [A]
ST. THOMAS - In a meeting during the Easter holiday weekend, the University of the Virgin Islands board gave the green light to develop a plan for a medical school in the territory.
A major gift made by New Generation Power Chairman Chirinjeev Kathuria will support the development plan.
Although the university issued a statement about the board's decision, UVI spokeswoman Nanyamka Farrelly would not provide specifics of the agreement or how much New Generation Power is donating.
UVI President David Hall was unavailable for comment.
The university has planned a press conference for Friday and details about the gift and medical school plan will be revealed then, Farrelly said.
The donation will fund the first development phase of the project to open a medical school; a feasibility study was done last year, according to Farrelly.
UVI signed a power purchasing agreement with Illinois-based New Generation Power last summer, allowing the university to generate up to 3 megawatts of power using two photovoltaic systems, one on each of its campuses. Ground will be broken on the power project next month, according to university officials.
In developing a plan to establish a medical school in the territory, UVI is enlisting the help of both of the territory's hospitals - Schneider Hospital and Luis Hospital - as well as Boston University School of Medicine. UVI also plans to involve the clinics and medical centers on all three islands, according to the UVI statement.
Kathuria founded New Generation Power, a global developer, investor, owner and operator doing utility-scale power generation, distributed generation, and mining exploration and extraction.

Healthy Living: Local News
Health Buddy Helps Monitor Patients At Home
Story Updated: Jan 10, 2014
Jefferson County Public Health now has a way to monitor home health patients even on the days when a nurse doesn't visit.
Tina Crosbie suffers from both congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD.
Keeping track of her vital signs is very important.
Since November, Health Buddy has helped her to do just that.
"The Health Buddy has helped me out a lot. If I have any questions, I just call...It makes me safe," she said.
Each morning Tina uses her Health Buddy.
It asks her specific questions and she inputs data.
Within 24 hours, public health can access her information via computer so her condition can be better assessed.
"We can monitor their blood pressure, we can monitor glucose levels," said Director of Patient Services Carol Paluck.
A grant from the Fort Drum Regional Health Care Organization was used to buy 24 Health Buddies for public health.
While Tina manually enters the information herself, additional equipment is available which attaches directly to the device and automatically transmits the data.
More of those are on public health's wish list.
"Our goal is to reduce hospitalization, re-hospitalization for these chronically ill patients, helping them cope with their disease better, manage their symptoms better," said Paluck.
Public Health hopes to eventually expand the use of this technology by making it available to those who would benefit even if they aren't currently receiving home health care services.

oil leak
I have an 81 CJ7 with the 258. Every time I am finished driving it and park it somewhere, there is a little puddle of oil. It's been tough to figure out exactly where it is coming from because the it it always sprayed all over the place from the fan and driving it. But, I almost looks like it is coming from the breather on top of the valve cover. The material inside of it is saturated and there is a little oil coming from around the base of the breather as well. And yes, it is a new breather with a new grommet.
Any ideas why it would be getting forced out through there?

Dunkin' Donuts has announced the signing of a multi-unit store development agreement with existing franchisee Sizzling Donuts, LLC for seven new restaurants in communities throughout northern Utah. The first restaurant in the northern Utah area—consisting of communities north of Bountiful—is planned to open in 2013, with the remainder by 2020.
In 2012, Sizzling Platter, LLC formed the subsidiary Sizzling Donuts, LLC, and signed multi-unit franchise agreements to develop 36 new restaurants throughout Salt Lake City, Utah; Denver, Colorado; and El Paso, Texas over the next several years. Sizzling Donuts currently operates five Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in El Paso and two more are under construction in the El Paso area. The group plans to open eight more units by the end of this year.
"We are excited to continue to expand Dunkin' Donuts' presence in Utah and play an important role in the daily lives of people who live, work and visit here," said Mitchell Lowe, Sizzling Platter's general counsel and vice president of development. "We have a passion and loyalty for the brand and look forward to opening many more Dunkin' Donuts restaurants throughout Utah in the years to come."

David Sullivan will likely be trading in one title for another Friday.
The 16-year state representative said he plans to travel to the Statehouse on Friday to officially submit his resignation from the House of Representatives. The resignation comes after the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development officially executed a contract with Sullivan on Thursday to make him the executive director of the Fall River Housing Authority. The contract became official when the two sides, along with Housing Authority Board of Directors Chairman Leonard Aguiar, initialed a change in some language on the previously agreed-to pact.
Sullivan said Thursday afternoon that he expects to begin his new position Monday.
"As it looks right now, without any unanticipated obstacles, I should be starting on Monday," Sullivan said.
While Sullivan expects to make his resignation official today, he delivered his farewell speech to his House colleagues Wednesday night as they gathered to vote on the House's fiscal 2014 budget proposal.
Sullivan described the speech as being filled with "a lot of unanticipated" reaction as colleagues gave him a standing ovation. He said the moment caused him to go off script.
"For me, it was an impressive sendoff from my colleagues," Sullivan said.
Sullivan said he gave the speech Wednesday night at the recommendation of House Speaker Robert DeLeo, D-Winthrop, because it would be another week before the full House was to be together again.
"This will most likely be, unless it's a joke, the last time speaking at this podium. It could be a joke because this has been like the Twilight Zone," Sullivan said in delivering his speech. In the short speech to his colleagues Wednesday night, Sullivan thanked them and staff for their support over the years. "What I do realize, this change in my life, if it ever happens, will be bittersweet," Sullivan said.
Sullivan called it a privilege to serve in the House and represent his constituents in Fall River and Freetown. "I have committed over the years as a state representative to be a voice for those who have none," Sullivan said.
But Sullivan said he looked forward to visiting the Statehouse in his new capacity. "I'm not going to say goodbye because I am going to pop up here somewhere," he said.
Once Sullivan does resign, it will be up to DeLeo's office to determine the dates for a special election to fill the 6th Bristol Representative District seat. Three Democrats have already voiced their interest in running, with former Governor's Councilor Carole Fiola and current City Councilors David Dennis and Bradford Kilby starting campaigns.
Sullivan's resignation will mark the end of a four-month odyssey that began when Sullivan and three other candidates interviewed for the position on Dec. 18. Despite the objections of one board member, Sullivan was chosen, but the effort to complete a contract dragged out until Thursday as language about the length of the agreement was negotiated.
Page 2 of 2 - Sullivan said that, with his tenure nearly complete, the expectation is the two other state representatives whose districts include Fall River — Paul Schmid, D-Westport, and Alan Silvia, D-Fall River — will be available to handle constituent matters.
"I'm sure they will be available to cover any matters regarding the district,' Sullivan said. "That's the way I see it right now."
Silvia said he is prepared to lend a hand, along with those from the Fall River-area delegation.
"I know the entire delegation from Fall River stands ready and willing to assist all citizens with issues that require representation," Silvia said. "My colleagues, Speaker Pro Temp Pat Haddad, Sen. Michael Rodrigues and state Rep. Paul Schmid, are available to the people of the 6th Bristol District until such time that a special election is held. House Speaker Robert DeLeo will be working with local officials to plan and prepare for that election as soon as is prudently possible."

When Yoda encourages Luke Skywalker to persist in his attempt to lift his ship out of the swamp in "The Empire Strikes Back", Luke shrugs his reluctant acquiescence: "All right, I'll give it a try."
Prompting Yoda to famously pronounce, "No! Try not! Do. Or do not. There is no try."
Great advice for a hot-headed young hero until your direct mentorship, but totally counter-productive when we first encounter our prospect on the hero's journey of search.
Avoiding 'Worse'
When someone's searching for a solution to a problem, their prime directive is always to not make things worse.
"Worse" can look like a lot of things:
- Buying something that does more harm than good
- Buying from someone who lacks integrity
- Buying from someone who lacks experience
- Getting poor value for money relative to other choices
- Getting locked into a decision with no way out
Paradoxically, desperation for change actually increases resistance to buying, precisely because the force of desire will bump up even harder against the shoals of "worse."
When we're in fear, our reptile brains go into hyper-drive to keep us safe. And one of the main things we look for, in any new scary situation, is an escape route.
'Try' is Your Friend
Your goal as a marketer in high-stakes situations is to reduce the perceived risk of "worse." To offer the best escape route to the fearful. And one of the best ways to do this is to be the anti-Yoda, to offer fully the commitment-free concept of "try."
To try means not to commit. To test the water before leaping in. To take a series of totally reversible steps and have the capacity to monitor each of those steps for any sign of "worse."
How can you invoke the welcoming, reassuring power of "try"?
Using the word "try" itself in your sales copy is a start. Compared to ads that demand instant action ("buy now"), a "try" ad will look like a path of lesser resistance.
Then reinforce the "try" with a reminder of the no-risk, tiny-step, reversible nature of their action. One phrase I love comes from the "Robert Collier Letter Book" (first published in 1931): "This card obligates us only – not you. Will you TRY it? Will you put your name on it and drop it in the mail?"
The reader is reassured that they are not obligated. There will be no recriminations if they just walk away. And the "it," the first step they are asked to take, turns out to be laughingly low-effort: "put your name on it and drop it in the mail."
Other words in the same vein include "consider," "think about,"
'Try' Reinforces Their Autonomy
When your prospect is facing a big problem, they typically feel a loss of control. After all, to be in control, by definition, means to be able to handle your stuff. A big problem pokes a hole of reality into this illusion of control.
When life feels out of control, we often sink into purely reactive mode. We feel like we have few if any real choices. We "must" do something now. But we don't know what.
When you remind your prospects that they have options and room to play, you reinforce their sense of autonomy. And ultimately, it's from our autonomy that we make all our decisions.
So paradoxically, telling prospects that they don't have to commit makes it easier for them to commit.
In his excellent book "Instant Influence", Michael Pantalon identifies six different kinds of "change talk," which he defines as "any statement uttered by the person you're talking to that suggests he is starting to think about change or perhaps even moving toward it." I would argue that this definition applies perfectly to the act of search itself.
Here are the six types, from weakest (least ready to change) to strongest (most ready to change):
- Ability talk (I could do it if I had to)
- Need talk (I need to do it)
- Want talk (I want to do it)
- Action talk (I've already taken some steps toward it)
- Reasons talk (I want/need to change because…)
- Commitment talk (I will do it)
Search typically occurs at stages 2, 3, and 5. None of these is the magical commitment stage, the place in a business relationship where money changes hands.
The "try" stance is a powerful way to allow your prospects to progress through obligation to desire to action to intrinsic motivation. Through your gentleness, you encourage prospects to take actions in their own interest and at their own pace. So doing, you increase the likelihood of eventual commitment – to you.
'Try' on the Google SERP
Take, for example, a web store owner I'll call Luke, who has one of those old-fashioned shopping cart websites; tiny product pictures, ugly fonts, clumsy navigation, narrow body.
And their competitors have upgraded to beautiful carts. Better graphics, easier interface, much stronger SEO. And Luke is losing sales and market share to these shiny, modern rivals, and has become desperate to reverse the slide.
Luke is worried about making a bad decision. He knows people who spent tens of thousands of dollars on new carts that never worked right, that never interfaced properly with shipping and inventory, and that killed their SEO rankings. He doesn't have anyone he can trust, his funds are limited (precisely because of the problem that he needs to spend money to solve), and he doesn't trust himself to know a good solution when he sees one.
Luke searches for, say, "online shopping cart software," and sees this page:
Four of the six ads pictured understand to some degree the importance of try, as they offer literal "trials." 3dcart.com does the best job of lowering the barrier to entry by describing the scope of "try": "Set up in 5 minutes."
Magento.com invites searchers to "view a demo," while CartGenie.com and Americommerce.com refer to how "easy" the cart is to set up and/or use.
But none of these ads really addresses Luke's deep worries.
What they're all missing is the part where a trial can prove the merits of the product. I'd try language like this:
"Try it for 30 days to experience its awesome SEO power."
"Free trial so you know this cart will increase sales by 30%."
Or, for a deeper level of "try," I wouldn't sell the cart at all at this point. Instead, I'd offer them, risk-free, what they really want: information and wisdom.
"Free report: How to Avoid Making the Same Mistakes with Your New Cart. Free download, no obligation."
At a certain point in the sales cycle, Yoda is correct. There is no longer any "try." There is at least some commitment. If your prospect is still talking to herself in "maybe" language at the end of the process, they will not act.
But "try" is a great place to start.
Try it.

Gina Lynn and Darren Thurston
the early morning hours of Sunday, March 30th, five Michigan animal rights activists
were arrested for allegedly raiding a Canadian mink farm. According to media reports,
1,500 mink were released from Ebert's Fur Farm owned by Tom McLellan, fences were
cut, and breeding cards were removed from the cages, effectively costing the fur
farmer half a million dollars!
It is believed that McLellan will collect
this sum in insurance money but that he will not be insured again. Further, it
is probable that this action has put him out of business for good! (The Earth
Liberation Front took credit for a similar action at Ebert's Fur Farm two weeks
earlier when 250 to 300 mink were released.)
Those charged in the mink raid
are Patricia Dodson, 48; Hilma Ruby, 59; Robyn Weiner, 25; Gary Yourofsky, 26;
and Alan Hoffman, 47; all of whom live in Michigan. All are charged with breaking
and entering and mischief. Robyn and Alan are also charged with possession of
stolen property (breeding cards). Patricia is charged with possession of burglary
The five had several court hearings and several delays before they
were finally released almost two weeks later, each on $10,000 bail. By this time,
two of the defendants--Alan Hoffman and Robyn Weiner--had made damaging statements
to the police which were read in court. Alan gave an alleged blow-by-blow account
of everyone's actions (including the scouting out of farms in the U.S.), and Robyn's
statement included the implication of one of the other activists in a previous
raid. Robyn claims her informing was in the best interests of everyone. However,
her co-defendant's legal cases have been seriously compromised by her statements,
and it has left them feeling betrayed. If Robyn was seriously concerned about
her co-defendants' interests, she would have consulted them first and got their
approval before taking such drastic action. But the fact is that her statements
are damaging and statements such as hers cannot be tolerated within a direct action
movement. The same words hold true for Alan who has also cooperated with the authorities.
has pled guilty to the charges and waived her right to a trial. She has made a
deal with the prosecution and it is expected that she will be sentenced by June
13, when the others return to court. All five returned to court in Chatham, Ontario,
three weeks later, where they were served with a $3.5 million civil suit by Ebert's
Fur Farms, Inc. The owners of the farm are seeking:
$2,000,000 in general
damages $1,000,000 in specific damages $500,000 in punitive damages plus
legal costs.
The suit claims that 20 years of breeding information was
lost; 1,542 minks were released (1,500 female, 42 male); 95 percent of females
were pregnant with an average expected litter of six kits each; 1,500 females
would have produced 7,125 pelts at $70 per male pelt and $50 per female pelt.
The defendants are accused of cutting a hole in the fence, damaging or destroying
100 pens, damaging or destroying 400 drop-in nest-boxes, and damaging or destroying
2 gates. The legal fees and other costs yet to be incurred will undoubtedly be
enormous--any help raising funds would be greatly appreciated! Information on
where to send donations and letters of support is in the box to the right of this
Finally, you might want to take a moment to let Mr. Tom McLellan
and his son, Bill, know what a wretched mistake they are making by pursuing a
lawsuit against accused freedom fighters: Ebert's Fur Farm, R.R. 4, Blenheim,
Ontario, N0P 1A0, Canada - Phone: (519) 676-4969

Five Questions for Professor Jagdish Bhagwati on the Indian Economy and Prime Minister Modi's Next Steps
This post is part of a series on the Indian elections.
Jagdish Bhagwati, university professor at Columbia University and senior fellow for international economics at the Council on Foreign Relations, has been described as the most creative international trade theorist of his generation. He has been a leader in the fight for freer trade for decades. He is well-known in India as a champion of economic liberalization—and an early advocate for the reforms undertaken in 1991. With his coauthor Arvind Panagariya, he published Why Growth Matters last year, a book which makes the case for economic growth as the path to inclusive poverty alleviation. He is proudly Gujarati, and is likely to be an external adviser to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Read more »

I am currently dieting with my mother, we are calorie counting but we aren't reaching the full amount of calories we are allowing ourselves and on our last weigh in it said we had gained. When we mentioned this to other people they said its because we aren't reaching our calorie allowance per day, we have allowed ourselves 1300 but are eating roughly 850-1000 calories a day.
So I was wondering if this information is correct?

Mendenhall 'tweets' about bin Laden's death draw criticism
Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall is being criticized on social media sites for Twitter posts that question celebrations of the death of Osama bin Laden.
"What kind of person celebrates death• It's amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We've only heard one side ...," Mendenhall wrote in a post on Monday afternoon. "I believe in God. I believe we're ALL his children. And I believe HE is the ONE and ONLY judge."
When another Twitter poster suggested that bin Laden wasn't responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Mendenhall responded: "We'll never know what really happened. I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style."
Mendenhall has 14,240 followers on Twitter, a number that increased last night after word of his bin Laden comments spread. In his Twitter profile, Mendenhall describes himself as a "conversationalist and professional athlete."
The Steelers declined comment and Mendenhall couldn't be reached, but other Twitter members were quick to bash the 23-year-old running back, who is entering his fourth NFL season.
Within hours of the post, dozens of people weighed in, calling Mendenhall a "moron" and "idiot," among other names. A few posters, though, agreed with Mendenhall's assessment.
It wasn't the first time Mendenhall made a controversial Twitter post. In March, after Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson called the NFL labor situation "modern-day slavery," Mendenhall agreed.
"Anyone with knowledge of the slave trade and the NFL could say that these two parallel each other," he wrote.

Jennifer Noya, who is representing the family, told television station KRQE ( http://bit.ly/13sezib) that finding the gold bar appeared to be a lost cause until one of the family members, Sonya Burke, spotted it during a television newscast.
Burke said she remembers playing with bar as a child and that her grandfather had used it as a door stop in his Manhattan apartment.
"I lugged it around everywhere," Burke said. "I just remember playing with it, picking it up to see how tough I was because it was heavy."
The bar is now valued at around $113,000 and has attracted interest from a number of potential bidders. State officials said the family will have to file a claim and only if the claim proves ownership, can the bar be returned.
Burke's story starts with her grandfather, Russian immigrant Seymour Mann.
When Mann died of a heart attack in 1989, the family says the gold bar went to his daughter, Albuquerque attorney Lisa Mann, who put it in a safe deposit box at United New Mexico Bank. A gold bar at United New Mexico Bank is mentioned in Mann's divorce paperwork in the late 1990s.
Lisa Mann died of breast cancer in February, and Noya, in charge of managing Mann's estate, went looking for the gold bar.
United New Mexico Bank was bought out by Norwest in 1994, which in turn merged with Wells Fargo a few years after that. Noya said the bank couldn't find a record of Mann owning a box although the key appeared to fit in one of the boxes.
It was the bank that suggested checking with the state's Unclaimed Property Office, which Noya said she did in April. However, Unclaimed Property supervisor Stephanie Dennis wrote in an email that she was unable to find anything on a safe deposit box.
State officials did say Mann had about $4,000 in other unclaimed property.
Noya said she called the Unclaimed Property office again on Friday but was told she could just bid for the bar at auction. Noya said she was horrified by the response.
Taxation and Revenue Department spokesman S.U. Mahesh said he was unaware if that comment was made but emphasized that anyone, including the Burkes, can still file a claim for the gold bar or any of the other unclaimed items up for auction.
After the items are sold, owners can still claim part of the proceeds provided that they could show proof of ownership.
Mahesh added that no formal claim had been made for the gold bar as of Friday.
Burke said she doesn't want the gold bar for the money.
"It's about the fact that this is something that belongs to my family," she said.
The auction is scheduled for July 27 at the Albuquerque Convention Center. Bids can be submitted online at http://www.bentleysauction.com.

Discusses using mirrors to concentrate sun's rays to heat liquid to drive steam generators. Better for longer-term, larger applications, but may have some elements that can be used in smaller seasteads, especially in tropical regions. Also, discusses possible use w/ Stirling engines.

Here's an article I ran across yesterday along the same lines that will further the solar cause. Storage has been the big issue with solar but it now appears those issues are being addressed and solved.

The "major discovery" is electrolysis of water with some new catalysts. It still has the problems of Hydrogen storage, expense and fragility of Hydrogen fuel cells, etc. As such it doesn't really seem very significant or practical.August 6, 2008 at 7:05 am #3547
Solar thermal is interesting, but requires a big installation and/or finely engineered heat engine to be practical. Photovoltaic is more scalable (especially at the smaller end of the scale) and much more widely available. Photovoltaic also has no moving parts, which in many respects is a significant advantage. Unlike solar thermal, there is no maintenance and no parts to eventually replace (short of the cells themselves gradually degrading over several decades). Solar thermal being largely mechanical has parts that eventually wear out and need replacement.
Both technologies may be useful. Photovoltaic is more immediately useful and lower-maintenance.August 6, 2008 at 5:49 pm #3550
I agree that storage is a problem for vehicles, which are space and weight-constrained, but for stationary applications the problem is a lot easier. Also, storage of high-pressure gas under the ocean can be done pretty darn cheaply with just a deeply submerged lift bag or concrete dome. (See the Whole-Ocean Gravity Battery thread) Even above-ground tanks may not be a problem, since you just don't need the energy density and low weight that a car would need.
As for fuel cell expense, $1/watt solar is often said to be where it gets price-competitive with coal. As of 2006, GE and Delphi were reporting costs of < $0.30/watt for solid oxide fuel cells. ( http://www.netl.doe.gov/technologies/coalpower/fuelcells/index.html ) Assuming you'd need a 1/2 watt of fuel cell per 1 watt of peak solar, that's just $0.15 for every solar watt in fuel cell costs. That's pretty darned cheap.
I think this is the cheapest electrical storage system I've seen.August 6, 2008 at 11:31 pm #3553
Though the cost of silicon is rising, we can probably find a process to extract it from the water, or, worse case, the ocean floor below us. It is a relatively common material… but getting it can be problematic.August 8, 2008 at 2:39 pm #3562
Measured by mass, silicon makes up 25.7% of the Earth's crust and is the second most abundant element on Earth, after oxygen.
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon#Occurrence
Basically, it is sand: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silica
Based on this I´m guessing that most of the cost of production is refining and purifying it, which probably takes a lot of energy.
Sort of a catch 22 when the end product also is energy (from PV cells), and probably less than what it takes to produce them…
I guess you could always use nuclear power or fossil fuel to produce the silicon/PV cells :-). Or rather, this is probably what happens already.August 8, 2008 at 5:35 pm #3563
I didn't know the specifics, but thank you, vtoldude, for the research here.
Investing in power sources (preferably renewable) along with a refinery and production facility would be necessary up front, then we would be able to station the cells to have them start producing electricity for us, which we would sell relatively inexpensively to the newcomers in our little sealet. Eventually we would be able to recoup the inital costs, and then we would be able to start the process over again… because then, hopefully, we would have a need for greater power production, or a demand for a sister-sealet.October 30, 2008 at 10:42 am #4092
I have not seen this discussed so I though I would throw it out there. Whether using photo voltaics or mirrors, if you have ever been on the sea, everything ends up getting a thin coat of salts on it in short time. This would block some of the energy fo the sun without very regular cleaning. How much of a problem would this be? Would this still be an issue at the top of a spar? I'm thinking you would need a high-pressure water sprayer to clean things a few times a week.October 30, 2008 at 1:56 pm #4099
These mirrors: http://www.stirlingenergy.com/ were covered on Discovery Channel, and yes they must be cleaned regularly with high-pressure water. They did it manually with a ladder, and had to shut it down if I recall correctly. Maybe it would be possible to arrange some automatic cleaning device, like a windshield wiper thing that sprays water.
The generators on the show was in some desert, so they were cleaning away dust rather than salt. I don´t know whether salt would be easier or harder to clean.
I like the concept of mirrors and thermal power generation/storage though. I think you can store quite a lot of power in molten salt, and it doesn´t degrade like batteries, as far as I am aware. And a mirror is a lot cheaper than photovoltaics.October 30, 2008 at 4:20 pm #4100
Improved energy storage
The MIT announced a big progress in storing energy. Read the article (includes video interview).
Requiring nothing but abundant, non-toxic natural materials
Inspired by the photosynthesis performed by plants, Nocera and Matthew Kanan, a postdoctoral fellow in Nocera's lab, have developed an unprecedented process that will allow the sun's energy to be used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases. Later, the oxygen and hydrogen may be recombined inside a fuel cell, creating carbon-free electricity to power your house or your electric car, day or night.
The key component in Nocera and Kanan's new process is a new catalyst that produces oxygen gas from water; another catalyst produces valuable hydrogen gas.
The new catalyst works at room temperature, in neutral pH water, and it's easy to set up, Nocera said. "That's why I know this is going to work. It's so easy to implement," he said.
Nocera hopes that within 10 years, homeowners will be able to power their homes in daylight through photovoltaic cells, while using excess solar energy to produce hydrogen and oxygen to power their own household fuel cell. Electricity-by-wire from a central source could be a thing of the past.
Possible solution for salt dust on mirros
Materials coated with the Lotus Effect can be easily cleaned. When it rains or you pour water over the mirrors they should clean themselves.
Proposal: Solar cell with mirrors
I think it was the MIT as well that created a very low-cost version of solar panels. They used mirrors (I think aluminum) to focus sunlight on a small solar cell. The mirrors are cheap, the little cell is inexpensive as well, no moving parts, maybe a good solution.
Downside: It can kill you. (Really.)
Proposal: Plain old solar panels
I read about a newly developed solar cell capable of absorbing 100% of the light spectrum. So, depending on what type of solar energy harvest is cheaper to realise this might be a good solution, too.
I prefer anything without movable parts over something with movable parts. Regular (short interval) maintenance will kill you! Steam turbines are hereby declared as a big no-no.
If I think about the low-cost mirror version again … I recommend against it. It is too dangerous.October 30, 2008 at 4:22 pm #4101
I also like thermal power generation, I think it is one of the critical technologies that will need to be mastered for seasteading.
My idea is to place a large lattice truss under the water (with proper floatation) and then have poles that rise-up out of the water to hold the mirrors. The mirrors would only need to track the sun vertically. The underwater truss structure would be attached to the solar collecting tower for proper alignment. The entire floating assembly would track the sun by being rotated in the water (hopefully we can find a spot where it can be anchored to the sea floor so there is no drift…). Pnuematic pressure would be delivered to each mirror which would provide power to a hydrolic pump for vertical mirror positioning. The compressed air would also be used with fresh water to automatically clean the mirrors. The compressed air can be generated using tidal pumps. Alternatively you could float by in a 'pressure washing boat' to clean the mirrors a couple of times a week. I like the more automatic approach. The poles holding the mirrors would need to be sufficiently high that they would not get ocean spray and would be well above wave heights. I think about 30-40 feet would be about right.
I would also investigate making the truss capable of being more deeply submerged in the event of a major storm so that the entire assembly, and especially the mirrors with their large surface area, would be well under the waves and currents generated by the storm. The ability to lower the mirrors would also be helpful when you need to do maintenence.
I have seen discussion about making the mirrors out of styrofoam. I think this is a very bad idea – styrofoam gets water logged very quickly. Any ideas for good materials for the mirrors? I think the best material so far is still fiberglass as it is rigid and survives well in the elements. The mirrored surface would have to have a protective coating to protect it from salt oxidization; this will likely lower the total reflective index of the mirror, but that is the price you pay for using mirrors on the sea.
By the way, I loved your link – I like the way the SES mirrors are actually all the same, but form a mirror dish when assembled. That would make manufacturing much easier. I need to read up on the molten salt idea, but I have heard of it before and it does seem very practical. The only down side I can recall is that when you make your heat exchanger from the molten salt to steam, if the molten salt pipe bursts and makes contact with the water/steam it can cause an exposion (hydrogen gas is generated as I recall). Is that correct? I'm sure that is a solvable problem.
My next question is, how do you get the electricty from the platform to your seastead? I don't really like the idea of high-voltage wire dangling on buoys…
I actually think this should be the very first seasteading construction project. If you have this and high speed internet you can do many revenue generating activities from moored boats on a floating dock. I think that is important from an incremental development standpoint. It also gives you the power you need when manufacturing the spars.
You may get what you want, but will you want what you get?April 20, 2009 at 9:28 pm #5619

This ecosystem is one of the fascinating paradoxes of the bio- sphere: how do clear, and thus nutrient-poor, waters sup-(5) port such prolific and productive communities? Part of the answer lies within the tissues of the corals themselves. Symbiotic cells of algae known as zooxanthellae carry out photosynthesis using the metabolic wastes of the coral thereby producing food for themselves, for their corals,(10) hosts, and even for other members of the reef community. This symbiotic process allows organisms in the reef com- munity to use sparse nutrient resources efficiently. Unfortunately for coral reefs, however, a variety of human activities are causing worldwide degradation of (15) shallow marine habitats by adding nutrients to the (water.

At this point, the Denver Broncos' attitude toward Tebow seems to be that you can hide making a mistake if you insist on making it repeatedly while loudly proclaiming that it's the opposite of a mistake. It's like the supply-side economics of talent. The Broncos invested a #1 pick in him, and if they just keep reinvesting in the top-tier, benefits will eventually rain down on all. Reality can go suck it. Their faith in a higher power reflects both Tebow's Christianity and supply-side thinking in general: unaccountably rendering time and investment upward eventually results in an invisible hand doling out funbucks.

New Gear - It's been a while
So I haven't had new gear since high school and all my gear is broken or really old and worn down. Unfortunately, I haven't been following the gear pretty much at all for several years. I don't want to spend a fortune because I really don't go that often anymore but when I do go, I want some decent gear.
Boot size:
Riding style (do you like to charge steeps? Spin 7's/9's, ride groomers?):
Mostly groomers, some powder, off the trail, a little park. I would break it down as the following:
70% groomers
20% off the trail/powder
10% park
Mostly a freerider I think?
Regular stance
150-155 CM range?
Age (are you still growing and puttin on weight?):
Nope. Pretty stable. 25 years old. 155 lbs. 5 10"
budget (if you have one):
Nothing outrageous but nothing too cheap either
Your location of riding:
Utah mountains - mostly Snowbird, Brighton with some Solitude and Park City resorts here and there
Experienced rider. Definitely not a noob but I certainly don't go as often as I used to. Grew up getting a season pass every year and going 2-3 times a week. I can ride anything pretty well. Now I ride probably 4-5 times a year. Nothing outrageous like before but I like to get up a few times a year.
My question is, I am really out of touch with the gear now. I've read up on the different styles, models, reviews, camber vs rocker, etc, but I can't seem to find many decent reviews for some gear that I would want. The most I can find is like 1 review here and there.
I'm guessing by what I have said above that I need something a little bit stiffer and with camber an all mountain or freeride board.
Looking for a new board, bindings, and boots. Nothing super expensive, but nothing cheap either. I would be okay with something from last season even. My gear right now is completely worn out and and anything new should be an improvement. Anyone have some good suggestions I can look into?

Missing Xorg modulesHairyWill reported that Xorg reported these missing modules: sil164.so, ch7xxx.so, ivch.so, tfp410.so.
Xorg in Puppy is cutdown and some X servers are missing. The above though are very small, so I have put them in. The relevantpackage is 'xorg_xorg_servers-7.3-2'.
HairyWill, would you mind testing 4.1retro-beta, which will have these, and check that it now works -- it is possible that after those modules have loaded there may be an attempt to load more.
I'll probably upload 4.1retro-beta within 24 hours of now, the 'normal' 4.1 with later kernel toward the end of the week.

i810_drv too, please..
Barry, the i810_drv symlink to intel_drv.so still doesn't do it for me when using Xorg (loss of signal). All is fine on my 3 Compaqs when replacing the symlink with the real driver. I know there are more people with this issue. Is there a reason to not include i810_drv.so?
Posted on 10 Sep 2008, 16:49 by BarryK
Re: i810_drv.so
Xorg was compiled in T2 and that's where the symlink came from. So, I don't have a i810_drv.so driver.
If you have i810_drv.so that works in Puppy4, can you upload it somewhere and I will include it.
Posted on 10 Sep 2008, 19:36 by ICPUG
You have the driver Barry.
It was in Puppy 3.01.
I wrote a howto on the forum (in the Howto section) on how to transfer it to Puppy 4.
It would be much better built in though!
Posted on 11 Sep 2008, 22:58 by hairywill
sil164 works for intel 830m
Yup, the extra xorg drivers in 4.1b1 have done the ticket. I hope that a lot of the other intel GPU problems will be solved. For anyone that still has problems the contents of /tmp/xerrs.log may be interesting.
