IRRIGON, Ore. - Weston-McEwen swept through Elgin at the district tournament Saturday, nabbing the District championship and several individual honors, as well as the Oregon volleyball Official's Sportsmanship award.
The TigerScots (26-2) defeated Elgin in three, 25-15, 25-13, 25-12.
"Every girl on the team played well," said coach Shawn White. "It was outstanding."
Renee Baumann was selected Oregon Player of the Year and backed that title up with 15 digs and 16 kills.
Morgan Entze led the TigerScots with 17 assists and seven blocks and nabbed first-team all-league honors.
Tiffany Cain contributed 14 digs and 13 kills and was 24-of-24 in serving to join Entze on the first all-league team.
Jordan Reger has 13 assists, Katy West had seven blocks, Jaymie Zimmerman was 10-for-11 serving with an ace, Haley Freske knocked in seven kills and made five blocks, Molly bon Borstel had a kill and three blocks, LeAnne Harnden had 10 digs and MacKayla Carlin had four digs.
Freske and Harnden were both all-league honorable mention players.
"We had to wait until the very end to play and it went well," White said. "It went quick. Literally all of the girls on the team had a good day. It was a great week of practice and they really came through with flying colors tonight."
The TigerScots are off for a week before the first round of state Saturday in Athena. Their opponent will be determined Wednesday and they likely play at 7 p.m., although it has not yet been decided.
"For the most part I'm just tickled with how well the girls have improved over the last four weeks," he said. "We've had steady progress every week since our last home match and it's just delightful."

College Place Lions Club members have hatched a Hooks, Health and Hoards of Treasure event. It will be 9 a.m.-2 p.m. April 23 at College Place Lions Park, 801 Larch St., said Crystal Walk, club president.
Lions and other volunteers staff three events for the general public to enjoy, she said in a release.
The free Fishing Derby runs from 9-11 a.m. Kids 14 and under can try to hook some of the 600 newly stocked trout from the Department of Fish and Wildlife. A raft of prizes will be offered.
The brand new 62-foot-long Northwest Lions Foundation Health and Vision Screening van will be open from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Walla Walla Community College nursing students and Foundation volunteers will provide free health screenings for visitors of all ages, checking for glaucoma, diabetes, high blood pressure and sight and hearing loss.
"Lions have always worked to improve the health of their communities especially in the area of sight. We trace that emphasis back to 1925 when Helen Keller asked for our help," Crystal said.
In addition, a community garage sale will be open from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Individuals and non-commercial organizations may rent a table from the Lions for $10 to display their treasures for sale.
"Since so many people will be in the park we thought that a Community Garage Sale would be a good idea," she said. Tables may be reserved by calling 525-4810.
A truly community effort to procure a new baseball backstop at Garrison Middle School will come to fruition at 3:45 p.m. Thursday with a dedication ceremony there, 906 Chase Ave. It will be followed by the first pitch of the 2011 Garrison baseball season.
The Walla Walla Valley Select Baseball program fundraiser was spearheaded by chairwoman Peggy Needham. Efforts generated $9,000-plus for materials to replace the aging baseball backstop, a release from Walla Walla Public Schools Week in Review online said.
"This backstop was in desperate need of replacement. Not only is the Garrison field utilized by the middle school, it is utilized by summer ball as well. It will be wonderful to have an additional field to use for summer and fall baseball programs," Peggy said
Rotary Club of Walla Walla installed the original structure in 1958 for use as a Pony League field. Eagle Construction of Walla Walla installed the new one and Walla Walla Public Schools paid for the installation expenses.
Now in a more forward position, the new backstop will enhance competitive play, allow for additional fan seating and improve safety by increasing the overhang to lessen the chance of cars and spectators being hit by foul balls.
A sign Key Technology donated bears the names of contributors of $500 or more to the project, which will be sited on the backstop. Those donors include: Mike and Peggy Needham, Tom and Sydnee Watson, Stubblefield Trust, Eric Kimball, Walla Walla Babe Ruth, Walla Walla Valley Select Baseball, Rotary Club of Walla Walla and Gary Carlson.
At least 110 people attended the College Place Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 446 Ladies Auxiliary annual youth recognition luncheon March 27, said member Barbara Ellwein.
The friends, family and VFW members enjoyed listening to the students, who read their essays for the group. VFW sponsors the annual Patriots Pen youth essay contest. A homeschooled seventh-grade-level student, Tiera Hays, won locally, as well as first place at district and second place in state competition, Barbara said. Tiera's brother, Tyler Hays won first place for eighth grade at the district level, Barbara said.
State Commander Jerry Herker attended the luncheon to present Tiera with the local award, Barbara said. Fifth-grade winners: Tom House, first place locally and district; Chris Philbrook, second; Robert Walsh, third. Fourth-grade winners: Zachery Faughtenberry, first place locally and at district; Honesty Alexander, second; Jacob Bradshaw, third; and Devon Harshman, fourth. VFW sponsors an annual essay contest for students. This year, 18 first- and second-graders participated. Most of the students were from Waitsburg. The eight judges who considered the essays are members of Alpha Tau Master Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi, from Walla Walla.
Walla Walla-Sasayama Sister City Affiliation Committee members hosted a 10-day friendship and goodwill visit from 14 Japanese students. During their home stay here, they learned about education, history and industry, said Robert Keatts, local committee chairman.
The students participated in a dogwood tree planting ceremony March 24 at Pioneer Park in conjunction with Walla Walla Rotary Club. It dedicated the 30-year sister city relationship between the Walla Walla and Sasayama Rotary clubs.
On March 25, the group met with Mayor Barbara Clark at City Hall where she presented Hideki Niki, a city official from Sasayama, with a proclamation declaring March 24-April 2 as Walla Walla-Sasayama Sister City Week. The visitors stopped at Walla Walla High School, Walla Walla Valley Academy and Garrison Middle School where they participated in class activities and interacted with students.
They gained a historical perspective of Native American history and early Euro-American exploration in the area while at Whitman Mission National Historic Site, Fort Walla Walla Museum, Jonathan M. Wainwright Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Heritage Park and Tam?°stslikt Cultural Institute. They also learned about the economy through a field trip to First Fruits at Broetje Orchards.
The Walla Walla-Sasayama Sister City affiliation began in 1972, when mayors of the respective cities, John D. Swank and Shoichi Fujii entered into agreement and signed documentation, Robert said in a release. Keiichi Fujii, Soichi's son, came to Walla Walla as the first one-year high school exchange student in 1976. This year, the third generation of the Fujii family participated in sister city activity, Robert said.
Walla Walla High School Crest Club members and GESA Credit Union employees are co-sponsoring an American Red Cross Blood Drive from noon-5 p.m. Friday at GESA, 1603 Penny Lane. Both groups are stressing the importance of donating blood, according to the Walla Walla Public Schools Week in Review.
About 60 percent of the nation's population is eligible to give blood, but only 5 percent do in a given year. Every two seconds someone in America gets a blood transfusion. Each unit of blood saves three people's lives. Those interested in donating are encouraged to make appointments for the Blood Drive by calling Jessica Crudup at 524-4782 or online at www.redcrossblood.org, enter code GCUwalla.
"We are excited to work with GESA Credit Union and the Red Cross. This is a great opportunity for our students and club members to help organize an event that impacts people's lives," said Michelle Higgins, Crest Club advisor and Wa-Hi social studies teacher.
Friends of Pioneer Park Aviary teamed with Chris Plucker's Pioneer Middle School seventh-grade advisory class to offer a public tour of the Aviary off Whitman Street at Pioneer Park from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday. Those who take the self-guided tour around the Aviary will stop at five stations en route students will talk about various aspects, such as its history, endangered birds, why it should be saved, other birds and the Adopt-A-Bird Program. Passports participants receive will be stamped at each station and for those who complete the tour a certificate is presented, the Walla Walla Public Schools Week in Review online reported. Tickets will be pre-sold for suggested donations of $5 for students, $8 for adults or $15 per family. Suggested donations will be the same on the day of the event.Contact Annie Charnley Eveland at firstname.lastname@example.com.

PROMISE Technology Spotlights Storage Solutions for the Cloud at VMworld
SAN FRANCISCO, August 26, 2014 – This week at VMworld 2014, PROMISE Technology Inc., a recognized global leader in the storage industry, will be on the show floor highlighting their storage solutions, as the company continues to build into cloud infrastructure. Along with PROMISE's just announced all-in-one, on-premise Enterprise File Synchronization and Sharing (EFSS) solution, FileCruiser, its unified storage system for virtualized backup/archive solutions, the Vess R2000 Series, will be showcased at the event.
VMworld is the leading virtualization and cloud computing event of the year, bringing together thought leaders, subject matter experts and IT professionals. As it continues to shift the tech landscape, the cloud has become the clear way forward – particularly for datacenters. Building on the momentum generated by the cloud – and giving IT professionals the building blocks needed for cloud storage infrastructure – PROMISE's portfolio of cloud solutions brings cost savings, infrastructure reliability and flexibility to datacenters – and businesses of all sizes.
The Vess R2000 Series is an ideal entry-level system for SMB/IT workgroups requiring cost efficient storage for unstructured data and virtualization backup/archiving. A high-availability 8G Fibre Channel/10G iSCSI unified storage system with NAS filer, the Vess R2000 Series is certified with the latest VMware vSphere® ESXi 5.5 as well as Veeam®, enabling customers to virtualize their IT infrastructure and start their move into the cloud. Additionally, the Vess R2000 Series supports VMware VAAI, which reduces resource overhead on VMware vSphere ESXi hosts, significantly improving performance for storage-intensive operations such as storage cloning, zeroing and more. The Vess R2000 offers industry leading price/performance and can easily grow along with a customer's business needs, as it can scale-up with online expansion up to 112 drives.
PROMISE's FileCruiser is an all-in-one cloud storage solution that allows businesses that have users needing to sync and share data between multiple mobile devices to build their own secure, scalable private cloud storage service. FileCruiser eliminates the data security concerns that come with public online cloud file sharing solutions because all hardware and data are located on the users' premises. In a recent survey by Enterprise Strategy Group, 69 percent of participants preferred on-premise cloud solutions, due to security concerns. FileCruiser can be deployed on various scales to meet the needs of hundreds to over ten thousand users.
PROMISE's booth at VMworld will feature a technology demonstration of its 'High Density Storage Server', a hyperscale computing 4U/70 bay platform which features two independent server nodes that provide high-availability, high storage capacity and high networking throughput. The PROMISE Technology High Density Storage Server provides flexible configuration modes to meet the needs of different deployment scenarios, and will be targeting big data analytics for OEM partners and Internet data center customers when it launches in Q4 2014.
Rounding out the suite of cloud storage solutions at PROMISE's booth are its VTrak storage subsystems - which are VMware 5.5 certified and support Symantec and Veeam. The VTrak systems at VMworld can be deployed as virtualization building blocks for creating a cloud workgroup infrastructure for backup and archiving.
"While cloud-based services have made it easy for the average user to manage and access their data from multiple devices, delivering on the promise of the cloud can present problems for service providers," said James Lee, CEO, PROMISE Technology. "Storage is the key component to a cloud provider's success, and VMworld is the ideal venue to showcase our suite of cloud storage solutions – which form the building blocks of a robust cloud infrastructure. PROMISE delivers consistent performance, reliability and manageability to ensure that a user's data is always there when it's requested."

Anyone know where I can purchase reflective tape made for the rims of the bike? I am not wanting to jerry rig the tape, but to find some made specifically for the bike.

Rim brakes and tape on said rims would not work. A wheel is made reflective by reflective sidewalls on the tire. I suppose it may work if you have disk brakes. I have yet to encounter reflective tape made for the rim itself.
Nashbar or Performance used to sell reflective tape strips made specifically for rims, but I haven't seen it around for a few years. They were pieces about an inch or so long that you put between the spokes just like the rim labels. Maybe a google search might yield results.
Personally, I'm looking at these because I detest the way tape looks on a bike. Make sure you look at the night view.

The wheels on my Cannondale Tourer/commuter have rectangles of silvery tape between the spokes. Works fine and they are hard to see in daylight. Every tube in the frame also is covered with bright silver 3M tape.
This space open
I have deep V rims and cut white reflective tape in diagonal lengths to match the distance between braking surfaces. I put 9 pieces on each rim. I also put rfective tape on the front and back of the crank arms.
On my old Rockhopper I had tape between the spokes on the non-braking areas of plain ol' generic rims, and it was quite visible. Just get the big length of 3M tape at Home Depot and some scissors, dude.
Any hardware store should stock 3M Reflective tape- bright silver industrial grade. Before you apply the reflective tape, put a baselayer of electrical tape on first (so that if you decide to remove the tape it peels off easily instead of you having to pick it off with a razor blade). Same goes for the frame.
doesn't the electrical tape leave a nasty hard to remove residue too though?

I've put reflective tape between the spokes. Worked well.
duck, man thats alot on there but I bet you can get some nice pics in motion with all of the reflection!!
I have done exactly the same. Works well and is hardly noticeable in the daytime. (Assuming you have silver rims.)Originally Posted by AndrewP
Cyclists of the world, unite! You have nothing to lube but your chains!
I covered the inside of my rims with a white reflective tape before I lace up the wheels. Same tape on on crank, pedals. I also wrapped almost the whole frame in it a red tape that more-or-less matched the color of the frame. This is the tape I used:
It stretches well enough to cover the V of the rims pretty well. I have also used the high-intensity retro-reflective reflexite tape from the same company; it's more reflective but less stretchy. I posted a pic of the bike in the 'reflective material' thread.

Interesting idea. But how many episodes could you get out of such a show? After two seasons it would get rather boring I think...
I agree. No Modern Trek traditional 7 seasons for me. I think, that with a straight story with no filler material (i.e. no annoying B plot in an attempt to introduce the character's personal side) it could be 2 seasons. Perhaps three (but I doubt it). But for its short time, it could be dynamite.

NBA Says Kevin Durant Basket Shouldn't Have Counted
The NBA has released a statement saying that Kevin Durant's basket with six seconds remaining in regulation of last night's 111-107 Thunder win at Portland should not have counted. Durant was awarded two points when an official ruled that a blocked shot by LaMarcus Aldridge was goaltending.
With six seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, the Blazers' LaMarcus Aldridge was called for goaltending on a shot attempted by the Thunder's Kevin Durant. With the benefit of slow motion replay following the game, it has been determined that Aldridge made contact with the ball just before the ball hit the backboard. Therefore, this should have been ruled a good block and goaltending was the incorrect call. (As determined by the NBA's Competition Committee, referees may not use instant replay on goaltending calls.)"

Oracle is considering buying its way into the Linux operating system sector and has already contemplated a purchase of Novell, according to a report.
In an interview (subscription required) published yesterday, the Financial Times, reported that Oracle chief executive Larry Ellison said he wanted to offer a full stack of software with an operating system as well as applications and middleware.
"We're missing an operating system," Ellison said. "You could argue that it makes a lot of sense for us to look at distributing and supporting Linux."
Ellison said Oracle had considered purchasing Novell, which itself bought its way into Linux by purchasing Suse in 2004.
It is not the first time that the outspoken Oracle chief has revealed his thoughts on potential acquisitions. Ellison previously disclosed that enterprise applications firm Lawson Software and middleware giant BEA Systems had been in his thoughts, and claimed that customer relationship management firm Siebel Systems had offered to sell out to Oracle - before it was indeed acquired by Oracle last year.
While some will consider his comments mischievous, Ellison also noted in the interview that Linux distribution leader Red Hat's agreement to buy open-source application server firm JBoss could mean a changing of the guard in the sector. Red Hat is now a competitor to firms such as Oracle, IBM and Sun in middleware, despite being a partner on the operating system.

1. Re: get rid of McAfee security popup in W7Ex_Brit Jan 5, 2013 5:50 PM (in response to seventythree)
That shouldn't be happening and UAC shouldn't be altered from its default settings except under exceptional circumstances. I can only wonder if McAfee was installed in the first place by a user with Adminstrative credentials?
Also are there other security programs installed?
That's assuming this is Windows 7 SP1 and fully updated including IE9 (McAfee uses IE regardless of your browser preferences).
Try the Virtual Technician to see if it will fix things: http://mvt.mcafee.com/
If not try the following using an Admin-level log in:
Uninstall everything via Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a Program
Run the MCPR cleanup tool listed under Useful Links at the top of this page and reboot.

A Bremerton High Alumni game matching players from the 1980s and 90s will start at 6 p.m., followed by the traditional East-West game at 7:30 p.m. The East High Knights and West High Wildcats merged into Bremerton High in the fall of 1978.
If interested in participating, show up at a practice on Dec. 21 from 6:30-8 p.m. at Bremerton High.
Tickets can be purchased in advance for $8 at R&H Market on Kitsap Way in west Bremerton or Garguile's Red Apple at the Perry Avenue Mall in east Bremerton. Children 13 and under are free. Tickets will also be available at the door, which opens at 5:30 p.m.
Alumni cheer, drill team and pep band squads are also being formed.
Ticket sales and donations totaled $4,877 from last year's event. Money was distributed to the Les Eathorne Scholarship Fund, and uniforms were purchased for the boys and girls varsity basketball teams. The Bremerton cheer and band, and nonprofit Sports Beyond, which offers training for area youth, also benefited.

McDonald wins U23 cyclocross title
It came down to the final races of the U.S. Grand Prix of Cyclocross circuit on Bend, Ore., this weekend and Zach McDonald of Bainbridge held off Yannick Eckmann of Germany for the men's U23 championship.

McDonald juggles his cyclocross career while remaining a full-time student at the University of Washington.

If you took notes it shouldn't take you very much time to reproduce the prints. Just reprint the negatives using the times and settings in your notebook.
If you put one of your spoiled prints in the easel and the matching negative in the enlarger you simply move things around until the two images line up. Dial in the aperture and time. Set up your filter and hit the button. You should be able to finish all those reprints in an afternoon's work.
Another hint: Always make a backup print. Once you have worked up a good print, it's a small matter to stick anohter sheet of paper into the easel and hit but button once more. A second print takes very little time to make and, in a situation like this, you might have been able to grab your backup and save the day.
I do agree with the rest. Make sure you fix your prints properly. Use clean fixer and rinse the prints well afterward.
In a community darkroom it's not uncommon for the fixer to exhaust quickly. If you've got four or five people developing prints, the stuff wears out in no time.
Don't be afraid to pester your teacher or lab assistant to replace the chems when they need it. If the darkroom is busy, it might be necessary to change out chemistry every half hour.
If you got stains on your prints from dead fixer, chance are other people have stained prints too.

Marginal Organizations
Analyzing Organizations at the Edge of Society's Mainstream
|Publication Date
|May 2014
|Hardcover Ebook (PDF) Ebook (EPUB)
|Palgrave Macmillan
On one hand, marginals are complex organizational systems. On the other hand, they are an example of elegant, applied organizational operations. In The Marginal Organization, Tafoya focuses on organizations often described as part of an informal economy, informal sector, underground economy, or unofficial economy. He presents these systems first as organizations and then as organizations operating outside of society's mainstream, as marginal organizations. He outlines a means for studying marginals so that underlying behavioral patterns can be identified, examined and, if needed, addressed.
A simple approach to a study of marginal organizations might conclude they exist simply to meet the needs of their stakeholders - they do not. Thinking of marginals as competing in the context of other organizations allows the reader the opportunity to explore new themes, such as when and how marginals may be more inventive and innovative that mainstream organizations, and what one might conclude about illegal marginals like drug pushers and prostitutes. Tafoya's newest contribution to the field of organizational study is not to be missed.

Alicia Maldonado, deputy D.A. of Monterey County, CA, may have landed the case that could make her career: the murder of golden boy Daniel Gaines, who recently announced his candidacy for governor.
Tough and self-assured, Alicia is a likeable protagonist who achieved success through grit and determination. While initially attracted to reporter Milo Pappas, she's reluctant to fall for his charms, fearing he's using her just to get a scoop on the investigation. Complicating matters, the deceased's wife, Joanthe daughter of a former governor and senatoris Milo's ex-girlfriend.
The Joan/Milo/Alicia love triangle is a recipe for disaster, as Joan tries to destroy both Alicia's and Milo's careers. Maybe Joan's alibi for the night of her husband's murder isn't as airtight as previously thought. Was an environmental activist actually framed for Daniel's murder?
Dempsey's low-on-glamour depiction of the D.A.'s office is on the mark, lending much credibility to this suspenseful novel. The romantic sparring between Alicia and Milo sparkles with wit and adds sensuality to this sizzling, tension-filled mystery. (Aug., 416 pp., $6.99)

Inside Story of NATO, Churchill's Iron Curtain
Beichman, Arnold, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
It used to be that aggression was a problem with aggressor nations - Germany, the Soviet Union, North Korea, Vietnam, Iraq. No more. The aggressions that have concerned us the last two decades are almost all within nation-states - Nigeria and Biafra, Rwanda and Burundi, Yugoslavia and Kosovo, Spain and the Basque ETA, France and Corsica, Indonesia, East Timor and Acheh, Sri Lanka and the Tamil Tigers, Russia and Chechnya, Muslim Sudan and the Christian south. And there's more to come in the age of the mini-state.
In Rebels With a Cause: The Minds and Morality of Political Offenders (Westview Press, $35, 448 pages), Nicholas N. Kittrie, one of the world's leading authorities on internal violence, has done a monumental job in analyzing the sanguinary battles of rebels, revolutionaries and dissidents against existing governments. He estimates that almost half of the 190 or so countries in the world are trapped by ethnic, tribal, clannish and racial antagonisms, and the eternal problem of defining a "just cause." Mr. Kittrie presents a "Bill of Rights for Just Governance and Just Resistance" which he believes would, if adopted, lessen what he calls "political criminality," terrorism and counter-terrorism and transform domestic warfare into roundtable negotiation. This volume is, indeed, a major work for the 21st Century.

It is quite possible that what happened in Iran with the 1979 overthrow of the Shah was not the last great revolution, as Robin Wright's book title, The Last Great Revolution: Turmoil and Transformation in Iran (Knopf, $27.50, 352 pages) would have it. There is another last great revolution in the wings of history's stage, a modernizing counterrevolution against the reactionary rule of Iran's ayatollahs.
The author, one of our leading foreign correspondents specializing in Iranian affairs, predicts that the Islamic republic "is not likely to survive in its current form." Iran's theocracy has unwittingly sparked a battle for women's rights, the arts, social customs not only among the young but within Shi'ite Islam itself; in short, revolutions within the ayatollah revolution.
This book is exceptional in four respects: It is highly readable, full of fascinating interviews; it is a mine of useful information about the most important country in the Middle East. It has a laudable observance of scholarship. And in terms of price, it's a steal.

"The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood," wrote John Maynard Keynes. Ideas, good or bad, rule the world. Compare Mao's China to Deng Xiaoping's China three decades later when the Communists began another Long March, this time from Marxism-Leninism to Adam Smith and then compare it to today's China-in-transition as a fifth of the world's population prepares to enter the new millennium.
Min Lin with Maria Galikowski, the authors of this valuable treatise, The Search For Modernity: Chinese Intellectuals and Cultural Discourse in the post-Mao Era (St. Martin's, $49.95, 271 pages) are academics at New Zealand universities who are well-versed in Chinese and Western thought. What they have written is a report on the status and ambitions of mainland Chinese intellectuals. China's future hinges on what will be the regnant ideas in coming decades and the answers given. Where these ideas will come from is a mystery since, say the authors, "Chinese intellectuals are aware of the painful fact that the gradual loss of their central position and their role as `savior' and their replacement in that role by popular culture in an increasingly commercialized society, is the inevitable price to pay for the modern social transformation they worked so hard to bring about."

The Green's new single "Liar" was released September 11 on Easy Star Records. This is the first new music from the group since its 2011 album, Ways & Means, which spent four-weeks at #1 on Billboard's Reggae Chart. "Liar" was produced and mixed by Christian Mochizuki (Kanye West, Jay-Z) and Matt Honda at Island Sound Studio in Honolulu, HI. The release includes a dubstep-electro remix of the song "Love & Affection" by producer Billy Van.
Says bassist and "Liar" co-writer Brad "BW" Watanabe:
"The song "Liar" is about being taken advantage of. In our lives we face dishonest people that choose to profit from our work at our loss. We disapprove but know that what goes around comes around. Truth and justice remain the message."

Metal roofing for raincatch

We're looking to order our metal roofing for the house this week and have run into a bit of a snag... my previous research on metal roofing had convinced me that pretty much all metal roofing with a baked enamel coating was ok for rainharvesting (our
will be used for household water and for the garden/orchard).
Now that we are looking to order the material, suppliers are telling us that "baked enamel" is an antiquated coating and not generally available. hmm. Most of the systems I'm seeing are PVDF coatings for materials other than aluminum (not what we want).
Anyone have any thoughts on currently available metal roofing (standing seam to make it easy for attaching the PV panels) that is a good fit for raincatch?

Antiquated material? Jeez. They must have found a cheaper way to make it is my guess.
"Industry" is all about the 'bottom line'.
I will admit that I haven't looked at new roofing for many years, so I have no idea what the industry is trying to 'push' these days. You certainly want something that will last for decades, but not if it means contaminating your (or your plant's) drinking water.
What are the choices available to you?
In my opinion, PV panels should be elevated several inches above the actual roof. Without a good air flow under them, they will get excessively hot. That greatly lowers their efficiency, shortens their life, and makes the house unbearibly hot inside.
Hopefully, somebody here will have some updated info on available roofing materials.

Thanks John - I agree. I think that marketing is playing a large role in the supplier's opinion. There are still many sites that advertise a "baked enamel" finish, but then use a name brand such as Kynar or other PVDF based paint systems used on the metal roofing. Galvanized steel (expensive apparently), Galvalume brand, and aluminum (anodized or other coatings/treatments) are the main options I have seen so far.
The PVDF may be fine, but some digging has popped up a few warning flags. I just don't know how much testing has been done or required on this type of use for the coatings. Durability is the main emphasis in the industry as best I can tell.
The elevation of the panels off the roof is one of the reasons I like the "standing seam" type material. There are brackets that are easy to attach the panels to the roof (providing some elevation along with attachment) and does not need a separate metal mounting rack. I will need to also make sure that I can adjust the angle for the solar inclination throughout the year.

Thanks Jeremy. I looked through the link and it was earthship style construction info that I was prettly familiar with, but I have not seen the video. I'll take a closer look once I get a couple hours free.
Thanks for posting both pieces of info!
I did a quick search for the pro-panel material and it looks like the basic components are similar to other metal roofing (24, 26 or 29 ga steel or galvalume) with PVDF or acrylic coating.
We ended up going with 24 ga steel panels with the PVDF coating. Had to make the call to get the roof on before the bad weather hit. I'll be curious to hear what Reynolds has to say on why the Pro Panel material is the safest.

Paul Wheaton mentions in his
gaia's garden
Chapter 5
that Toby Hemenway is using baked enamel steel roofing on one of his buildings. I watched Michael Reynolds video where he mentions that "Pro-Panel" is the only source of lead-free baked enamel roofing but I haven't been able to find documentation to support that claim, on the Pro-Panel website. Does anybody have a source for lead-free baked enamel roofing?

I'm glad I saw this. It has never occurred to me that I should think about the type of metal roofing - I have always assumed that any new metal roof would be fine.
Is it possible to use a filtration system that would remove these contaminates? Just in case sourcing the 'safer' metal isn't possible?
Or, is there any coating that could be applied to mitigate the problem?

Just another thing to think about......metal roof paint. Most folks paint their roof especially if it starts to show rust. I wonder if the paint contains fungicides or algaecides? Most exterior house paints do. I do know that one should not use those anti-fungus, anti-algae strips on the roof cap if you plan to use the rainwater. But what's in the paint nowadays?

Life Without Limits...Review
Life Without Limits is an inspiring book by an extraordinary man. Born without arms or legs, Nick Vujicic overcame his disability to live not just independently but a rich, fulfilling life, becoming a model for anyone seeking true happiness. Now an internationally successful motivational speaker, his central message is that the most important goal for anyone is to find their life's purpose despite whatever difficulties or seemingly impossible odds stand in their way.
Nick tells the story of his physical disabilities and the emotional battle he endured trying to deal with them as a child, a teen, and a young adult. "For the longest, loneliest time, I wondered if there was anyone on earth like me, and whether there was any purpose to my life other than pain and humiliation." He shares how his faith in God has been his central source of strength and explains that once he found his own sense of purpose—inspiring others to make their lives and the world better—he found the confidence to build a rewarding and productive life without limits.
Nick offers practical advice for realizing a life of fulfillment and happiness by building trust in others, developing supportive relationships, and gaining strength for the journey. He encourages the reader by showing how he learned to accept what he could not control and focus instead on what he could.
I first became aware of Nick Vujicic when my husband showed me one of Nick's You Tube videos. I was incredibly moved by Nick's story. When I learned that Nick was writing a book, I knew I wanted to read it. I jumped at the chance to review it and I wasn't disappointed. My 12-year old son is anxiously awaiting his turn at reading the book next!
Nick is very open about his faith in God. Refreshingly, he's also open about the struggles and doubts he's had over the years because of the life God gave him. However, Nick has embraced and accepted his life and has used his experiences to reach out and help others. It's very clear from his writing and his actions that he lives his life trying to serve other people. The happiness he has found in doing so is palpable and contagious.
He is a very positive person and believes that each one of us has a choice about how we live and react to our circumstances in life. Nick advocates finding your life's purpose and focusing on the things you can control in your life, rather than the things you can't. His company is called "Attitude Is Altitude" because he believes that there is real power in controlling your own attitude.
Reading Nick's story is like having a comfortable conversation with him. He's warm and engaging and I can easily and wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone wanting to improve their own life or simply have an inspirational uplift. I think that the audio version of this book would be even better because Nick is a terrific speaker and I love his Australian accent!
Thanks to Waterbrook Multnomah for the opportunity to review this book. You can learn more about Nick Vujicic here. You can purchase your own copy here.

When given the chance to highlight a teammate to look out for this fall, sophomore safety Stevie Brown wasted little time - freshman defensive tackle Marques Slocum. After a year of prep school and a year of ineligibility at Michigan, Slocum has finally been cleared to play, and in this audio feature, he expresses a giddiness over wearing the maize and blue uniform for the first time
"I was talking to academic people and the sports staff and he's the first person who didn't qualify his first year coming [to Michigan] that the coaching staff kept around. Out of 128 years of football -- that means he's awfully special," Brown said of the 6-6, 310-pounder. "I just have a feeling about him - he's going to be a beast."Marques Slocum AudioOn what he's shown to teammates to earn high praise already:"I don't know exactly what they've seen in me, but I hope they have the confidence in me to contribute to the team this year. I'm looking forward to having a good year, contribute to the team anyway I can. I know I have to play for Michigan."On what the experience of the last two years were like:"Going through prep school and then having to sit out a year was real difficult for me. Not being able to play football
but I'm here now and I'm trying to get on the field anyway possible."On looking forward to putting the pads on and hitting people:"I'm looking forward to it so much because like I said I've been out for two years and I haven't hit nobody in two years. I just can't wait until we get into practice and we can strap the helmets on."On why he wants to play defenses instead of offense:"I think I have that desire to play offense. I like to hit people. I think I'm very physical and I'm King Def. I like hitting people -- that's all I can say. Offensively, I think I'm talented, but defense I think is where I can contribute to the team."On where he fits in on the two-deep on the defensive line:"Right now I'm not sure, but like I said before I am willing to play anywhere that my team needs me. If they need me at noseguard, I'll play there. If they need me at defensive end, or three-technique, I'll play anywhere. I'm going to get it done. Special teams
I don't care. I'm just trying to play."On playing safety [joke]:"I'll play wideout too. I'm just happy to be here right now. Sitting out two years humbles you and I'm just fortunate enough that I still have the opportunity to play for Michigan."On why he thinks the defense will be good in 2007:"I think we have a lot of young, talented guys that are hungry this year. I know we might be young, but we still have leadership and I think we're going to get it done." ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Watch Out TED Talks: Here Comes A New Generation
TED-Ed is launching a new program for schools with materials to walk students through the process of identifying, developing and presenting their own big ideas in TED talk style.
TED-Ed is launching a new program for schools with materials to walk students through the process of identifying, developing and presenting their own big ideas in TED talk style.
Most classrooms follow a prescribed formula. Teachers plan and lay out what is going to be learned. Students come into class and have the responsibility of switching themselves into "ready" mode, waiting for the teacher to instruct and guide them in the day's tasks. Surely there are parts of the learning process where the control could be shifted to the students – where teachers can hand them responsibility and freedom and give them a voice in what they would learn.
Sometimes, being thrown into a new situation with few resources and little knowledge can be the best way to innovate. Educators, especially those who work in smaller rural districts, can sometimes be called on to teach classes without a lot of support or resources. While those moments can be terrifying, it's also a good time to step back from the anxious swirl of curriculum and standards to think like a kid. What would they love? Zombies, superheroes, and fairies, of course!
Public school teacher Larry Ferlazzo shares ideas and tips about how to balance curriculum needs, test prep and the bigger goal of helping students develop the motivation to learn for themselves.
If kids can access information from sources other than school, and if school is no longer the only place where information lives, what, then happens to the role of this institution? "Our whole reason for showing up for school has changed, but infrastructure has stayed behind," said Diana Laufenberg, who taught history at the progressive … Continue reading Creating Classrooms We Need: 8 Ways Into Inquiry Learning →
For many schools across the country, today marks the first day of a new year. In addition to thinking about tools that help boost educators' teaching practice, this moment might be a good time to pull back and think about some big-picture ideals, too.

How can we prepare today's students to become tomorrow's innovators?
