Saving Money on Trash
Submitted: 02/21/2013
Story By Ryan Michaels
- When you throw a trash bag into your garbage bin, you probably DON'T think about how much it costs you.
But the City of Crandon hopes to save money on trash and pass the savings on to residents.
Crandon residents will soon get their own 64-gallon wheeled trash bin and also a 96-gallon wheeled recycle bin.
The new bins will cut down on labor and fuel costs.
That will save the city thousands of dollars and make it look better according to Mayor Rob Jaeger.
"I think its a great win for the tax payers because it saves everybody a little bit of money and now-a-days that's our goal, to try and save money wherever we can save it."
Mayor Jaeger hopes to put the savings into city development. The new trash bins will be dropped off at each residence Monday February 25th. Starting on March 4th trash in Crandon will be picked up on Mondays. Recyclables will be picked up every other week.

Bench dedicated in honor of beloved Rhinelander community member
Submitted: 05/28/2016
- After the vendors closed up at the end of the first Hodag Farmers Market of the season, several people stayed behind to honor the man who started the market.
That's Douglas Jacobson, and he died last October.
His son, Jonathan Jacobson, said Douglas Jacobson was a big part of the Rhinelander community�"serving as Lions Club president, being part of many clubs and being a landscape architect for the U.S. Forest Service.
The Jacobson family and Rhinelander city leaders worked to dedicate a bench in his honor in Pioneer Park. That bench went up on Saturday, just off the road that leads into the park.
"He was a pioneer in helping to establish the Hodag Farmers Market many years ago. And from those humble beginnings, the market vendors, the patrons that arrive here, the citizens of Rhinelander, and those in the community have a wonderful place to come to get fresh, home grown, locally grown vegetables," Jonathan Jacobson said. "It was a great event. It was really nice to have everybody stop out and pay attention to what my dad's been doing and acknowledge all the effort he put into the farmers market for many years. And not only that, dad was a great citizen here in the Rhinelander community."

Wildlife rehab director urges caution on roads as turtles start laying eggs
Submitted: 05/27/2016
Play Video
- You'll likely find some slow-moving guests on the road this weekend. Turtles start laying their eggs in late May and continue through mid-June. But, because of where they like to lay those eggs, it's a dangerous time for the reptiles.
Wild Instincts Rehab Center in Rhinelander treats at least 30 injured turtles each summer. Painted and snapping turtles are most common in the Northwoods. They tend to lay their eggs along roadsides, driveways, and in places with soft sand.

State Senate bill would allow chiropractors to prescribe certain medications
Submitted: 05/27/2016
Play Video
- In the midst of a national push to prescribe fewer painkillers, a new Wisconsin proposal appeared that would let chiropractors prescribe prescription drugs, including painkillers.
After speaking with one of the bill's authors, that notion is not at all true.
John Murray, the executive director of the Wisconsin Chiropractic Association, which supports the bill, said the bill was never intended to cover narcotics, or any drugs not related to neuro-muscular skeletal healing. The bill is in its early stages, having had a co-sponsor hearing on Tuesday, and future drafts of the bill will feature more specific language.

It seems to me that Americans are missing the obvious. Iran, Syria and North Korea are planning a surprise attack on Israel and the West and that attack will include nuclear Electromagnet Pulse (EMP) weapons. I think they will put off this attack as long as possible in order to get more weapons in place but I think the plan will be operational no later than sometime in 2013.
Anytime after 2013 the implementation of their conspired plan to destroy Israel and the West will be based on their threat assessment and we know that with North Korea that it does not take much of a threat for them to go ballistic (pun intended).
North Korea already has the nuclear warheads for EMP weapons and they will have the missile capability to reach the U.S. by 2012. The chance of stopping North Korean intercontinental ballistic missiles once they are launched from reaching the U.S. are slim. If the N. Koreans have well executed EMP's at high altitudes we could semi-permanently lose operational infrastructure for hundreds or thousands of miles. North Korea could also simultaneously put an EMP over South Korea and Japan and nuke and overrun the American forces in South Korea.
Iran already has nuclear weapons or they can develop them within months anytime they desire. In two years they will have enough nuclear material to make dozens of nuclear weapons. They already have the warhead designs and the missiles to deliver them. North Korea, Iran and Syria are sharing nuclear secrets and missile technology and equipment. By 2013 Iran will have the capabilities to launch missiles at Israel, Europe and American bases and fleets in the Middle East simultaneously and they could do it simultaneously with a North Korean and Syrian attack.
Syria may still be trying to acquire or develop nuclear weapons but her main attack would be against Israel using hundreds of chemical and biological loaded missile warheads.
Any such simultaneous attack would obviously put the West on the ropes but there still would be enough firepower left at sea and at NATO bases that the war would be devastating to Syria, North Korean and Iran. Syria would be obliterated by Israel and Iran's military would be taken out (there will be no Mahdi coming to Iran's rescue). The United States forces would nuke the North Korean military and it would fall to the South.
The more powerful democratic nations will certainly win this war but if this conspiracy ever goes operational, hundreds of millions of people could die. That high death count is because there would be food riots in Europe, South Korea, Japan and the United States from the aftermath of these EMP's due to the resultant loss of electrical and electronic infrastructures. We have less than two years to take action to prevent the Iranian Syrian North Korean axis of evil from carrying out what I believe will prove to be a coordinated EMP conspiracy to destroy us.
I am not saying the EMP attack will actually happen, or that their conspiracy will be successfully executed, because Israel has very good Intelligence, so Israel will more than likely protect herself and Europe with a preemptive attack on Syria and Iran before they even launch. However, the U.S., and especially this administration, has not been proactive and they probably will not preempt North Korea from launching an EMP attack. Maybe the aftermath of the planned EMP attack is why America cannot be found in Bible prophecy.
Many Christian Jonah types have warned that judgment is coming to America if we do not repent of our debauchery, excesses and human idol worship. An EMP attack just may be the way this judgment occurs especially if we retain an administration that seems to be given for America's destruction.
America might no longer be a viable nation in the end times because she went the way of Nineveh and Sodom and Gomorrah and even though God's word was found throughout the land in most people's homes, they simply refused to read it or heed it.

Regional variation in employment in 2001
April 29, 2003
The proportion of the population with jobs was the highest in the Midwest in 2001.
In the Midwest, 66.7 percent of the population was employed on average in 2001. The percentages for the other three regions were clustered within a narrow range: 64.0 percent of those in the West were employed, 62.5 percent in the South, and 62.2 percent in the Northeast.
In the nation as a whole, 63.8 percent of the population had jobs.
These data on employment are from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics program. Additional information is available from Geographic Profile of Employment and Unemployment, 2001 (BLS Bulletin 2556).

I gotta tell you all, it's going to be a tough decision, if I ever go to upgrade from my Bike E.
Make a BOLD Statement While Cycling!
I've been building a quad recumbent over that past six months. I've mated two 20" bmx bikes with full suspension. This has been a work in progress. I'm a big guy so I couldn't build a two wheel and I wasn't sure a three wheel would work. This is a low budget build so I get a lot of parts from the local thrift stores and what I can build myself. The local Northern Tool and Equipment store has been a big source for my parts.
Here's the link to my blog for the bike.

Hallo, I want to post the image of my bike from my album but I can't.
Can someone help?

Just click on the browse button, select your photo from your files, maybe have a look at the size options, then just click "host it".

Here is my bike in Carrara Alps.
Thanks wheelchairman
TRSNTR, I hope you realized what you've done by posting a picture of such a beautiful bike. You've poisoned my mind! I'm trying to work out a clone, but can't seem to find any pictures tight enough sans seat or other crap that gets in the way of the from so that I can work out all the angles. My buddy has some titanium scrap at his welding shop that are of lenghts between 3' and 5' in 2" tubing that is pretty stout. I'd be fine with steel or aluminium, but free titanium. Who am I to say no?
How is it to ride in traffic? I live in a tiny apartment with 3 other college students(2 girls and another guy) and all of them think my fetish with these lovely bikes and my AB USS is bizarre. I don't know how they'd feel about a polished titanium lowracer sitting in the kitchen(where we keep our bikes, linolium floor). But I don't care!
I have most of the components and ideas on wheels, I think tri spokes would be cool if I could find a cheap ish pair, but I don't think that is gonna happen.
I live on the edge of an urban area and don't venture into busy downtown streets very often. But, other than being low, it's no problem. Starting and stopping on my Fujin or my Baron is easier than on my highracer. I'm very comfortable in traffic until I get into 4 lane stoplight taffic with no shoulder but that's more from lack of experience than anything else.Originally Posted by blknwhtfoto

"The charm of Villefranche-sur-Mer" Top 5 Page for this destination Villefranche-sur-Mer by NiceLife
Villefranche-sur-Mer Travel Guide: 94 reviews and 232 photos
Winding lanes, rich mediterranean colours, all the charm of this pretty "village" which claims Tina Turner as a resident, though it must be said I have never seen her come down from her estate high above in the hills.
You can sunbathe on the coarse sand of the wide beach, swim the calm waters of the bay sheltered by Cap Ferrat on one side and the Cap de Nice on the other , and then retreat to the relaxing cafes or one of the pretty restaurants that line the harbour, for a light lunch, something to drink, or treat yourself to some great ice cream sundaes. There is a vibrant international local community resident in Villefranche, as well as regular visitors for whom its a favourite haunt, many from across the Italian border and Monaco. The limited number of tourist hotels mean it remains rather priviledged and exclusive, without being overly expensive.
There's plenty of local history to explore, some remarkably interesting permanent art exhibitions - free entry. The ambiance is sophisticated, friendly, and safe due to its "human scale" - resident population max 30,000, compared with 300,000 in Nice around the bay.
Nothing is over- commercialised, no junkfood, jet-ski, para-gliding or watersports antics to ruin the calm enjoyment of the Med. For eating out, there is little here you would call "cheap", but there is a good range choice between the "moderately expensive" and the pretty expensive. If you want very expensive, there is always La Reserve at Beaulieu , provided you look sufficiently respectable to be let in.
Villefranche describes itself as the "Paradis d'Azur", and its not far wrong.
Jean Cocteau, inspirational artist and film director came here in 1925 staying at the Hotel Welcome. Villefranche then was a centre of literary and artistic activity, with Stravinsky was living not far away. and actress Isadora Duncan a frequent visitor, before her meeting with a scarf, an open top motor car, and destiny, outside the Negresco, Nice.
Opposite the Cocteau church, the Hotel Welcome is virtually unchanged since the nineteen twenties, with its air of graceful decay. Around it are the excellent cafe/ bars Le Cosmos and Les Palmiers. Those in the know will sometimes drop in on Le Cosmos just for one of their divine desserts - Tarte Tatin or pomme crumble, a shared pichet of rose, and large serving of peoplewatch.
Around the citadel you can find your way to the charming and unhurried Port Darse, where more casual alfresco cafe setting awaits at the Baleine Joyeuse at the waters edge.
Relaxed atmosphere, mediterranean colours, elegant people, amazing vista onto Cap Ferrat, unspoilt.
If you are in the mood for a little walking from here you can leave by the far side of the beach and walk on to Cap Ferrat or along to Beaulieu, past exclusive and secluded private villas with names like "Les Pieds dans la Mer" and Nellcote, briefly home to the Rolling Stones in their 1970's tax exile. Stroll around Cap Ferrat, visit The Villa Rothchild, and Kerylos at Beaulieu - all within walking distance (American comedian Stephen Wright once wrote "everything is within walking distance - if you have enough time").
- Pros:Sandy beach, sheltered swimming, quiet and accessible from NIce
- Cons:can be overrun by families with young children in peak holiday times
- In a nutshell:Charming and relaxing

A day visit to Villefranche is always a pleasure and is such a short journey from Nice. But its beauty and slower pace of life will probably tempt most visitors to come back for a holiday.I www.traveleurope360.com

Labor-Relations Agency Goes Rogue; NLRB Contravenes Own Rules to Boost Unions
Byline: Geoffrey Burr, SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Having lured in viewers with the promise of an open meeting but then cloistered themselves away in another government conference room and broadcast their discussion by closed-circuit television last week, two members of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) pushed through troubling new union-organizing rules that are favorable to big labor but harmful to both employees and employers.
The decades-old agency, which is charged with enforcing the National Labor Relations Act guaranteeing the right of workers to join or not join a union, is down to just two Democratic appointees and one Republican. Heading into last Wednesday's meeting, the Democratic duopoly were tight-lipped about their plans for a new rule, but the anti-employer, anti-employee outcome spoke volumes about whose agenda is being enacted at the board.
The board proclaimed that it would not include a provision in its final rule to require that pre-election hearings take place within seven days. Previously, when a union was attempting to organize a workplace, the employees had an average of about 38 days before an election. Instead, the board reduced the period to 10 days. Such a short time would mean employees would have virtually no chance of getting enough information before casting their vote, and small businesses would be severely limited in educating their employees without running afoul of the agency's often arcane and complex rules.
It took public outcry, including many of the 65,000-plus public comments the board received, to cause the agency to dispense with its plan for a seven-day limit and not require employers to disclose employees' phone and email addresses, as it had planned originally. However, the board said it would impose new rules that would substantially limit the issues an employer could raise in the pre-election hearing and curb an employer's right of appeal. As a result, in many cases, neither employers nor employees will know which employees will be in any final bargaining unit prior to the vote, and the election period likely will be chopped down.
What may have seemed like a minor victory for employees and employers was immediately turned on its head, however, as NLRB member (and longtime union strategist and attorney) Craig Becker said his allies at the board field offices should be able to implement much of the original proposed rule, despite the more streamlined approach, through agency best practices. …

Vote Now: Michael Jackson in Butter
Butter can be used for a lot of purposes (note: Last Tango in Paris), but not as a tool for an homage to the King of Pop. That, unfortunately, is exactly what's being proposed at the Iowa State Fair. Iowans are a progressive bunch–passing gay marriage and all–but they are not immune to a robust debate on forbidden subject matter, especially when it comes to the state's formidable band of butter sculptors. In fact, there hasn't been this much controversy on artistic license in the Hawkeye state since 1999, when another butter sculptor (note: how cool would that be to have on your business card–"butter sculptor"? Almost as good as "certified moyle"), by the name of Duffy Lyon, carved out "The Last Supper" in buttery glory.
The proposal is to display the Michael Jackson in his classic moonwalk move. And this is irking some Jackson fans. The sculpture would somehow be featured in conjunction with another butter sculpture of Neil Armstrong landing on the moon…i guess to celebrate the 40th anniversary. Jackson loyalists need not worry. Iowans are very democratic. They'd never decide something unilaterally like Texas. So they're putting it to a vote. Through July 16th, you can actually vote online here to have an impact on this highly important issue of our time.
You know, the more I think about it, why shouldn't we feel free to pay an homage in butter. It's not like Jackson is Jesus. In fact, it's likely he was the most opposite thing of Jesus: a pedophile-ish type who was socially alienated and couldn't really relate to grown ups. Maybe butter is apt. After all, it will melt. And do we really need to pay more tribute? My hometown, Los Angeles, is nearly bankrupt and they found some way to pay 4 million for the king's funeral (but scoffed when they had to cough it up for the Lakers). Feh.
But if you're a true fan and you don't want to travel to Iowa to see the masterpiece you could take matters into your own hands:

Additional Information
About Yehu Microfinance TrustThis loan is administered by Yehu Microfinance Trust, which was founded in 1998 as a project of CHOICE Humanitarian Kenya. In July 2007, Yehu became a separate entity from CHOICE and was registered as a trust. Since then, Yehu has expanded to cover over half of Kenya's 13 coastal districts.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

SRINAGAR: J&K desperately needs some space for holding the budget session in February as the heritage complex that housed state's bicameral legislature for decades has partially collapsed. It is now a declared unsafe building and even Speaker has shifted his office.
While a five-member panel of engineers will investigate the issues leading to the collapse of the complex, the real issue is where to host the session scheduled for the third week in February. Speaker Mohammad Akbar Lone has already announced setting up of a pre-fabricated structure in the lawns for housing his secretariat.

In an absolutely shocking turn of events, former WWE and WCW performer The Ultimate Warrior has died at the young age of 54. While pro wrestlers dying young is sadly not a new phenomenon, what makes the Warrior's passing so surprising is that he just appeared at three different events during this past weekend's WrestleMania XXX festivities.
Warrior received what many felt was a long overdue induction into the WWE's Hall of Fame this past Saturday night, made a brief appearance during WrestleMania itself on Sunday, then appeared live on Monday Night Raw for the first time in almost two decades to deliver what will now be his final goodbye to wrestling fans around the world.
Yesterday evening, Warrior collapsed outside his Arizona hotel room, while walking to his car with his wife. He was rushed to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. An official cause of death has yet to be released.
For those unfamiliar with the Warrior's career, he was born James Brian Hellwig, and began wrestling professionally in 1985. He entered the business in a tag team alongside fellow future icon Sting, before transitioning to World Class Championship Wrestling, where he played a character called The Dingo Warrior. He signed with the then WWF in 1987, where his ring name was quickly changed to the much more impressive sounding Ultimate Warrior.
Warrior was known primarily for his frantic ring entrance, one that involved him running to the ring at what seemed to the viewer like 100 mph. He would then enter the ring and shake the ropes, pumping his arms up and down, before crisscrossing between the ring ropes. Between that and his interviews, which often made no logical sense, but were full of passion and fire, Ultimate Warrior rose through the ranks like lightning.
In 1990, Warrior did the impossible, defeating Hulk Hogan for the WWF World Championship at WrestleMania VI in Toronto, Canada. He would hold the title for almost a year, before dropping it to Sgt. Slaughter. Warrior then transitioned into a feud with another now deceased legend, the "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
This culminated in a legendary "retirement" match at WrestleMania VII in Los Angeles. After a falling out with company owner Vince McMahon, Warrior left the WWF in summer 1991, but would make brief returns to the company in 1992 and 1996. He also had a brief stint as a wrestler for competing promotion WCW in 1998, before retiring from active competition that year.
In the years since, Warrior has done some decidedly strange things. He legally changed his name to Warrior. He made politically charged speeches and wrote ranting blog posts expressing sometimes controversial opinions. That said, none of that really effects his legacy as one of the biggest superstars in the history of professional wrestling, and by all accounts a terrific husband and father.
Warrior is survived by his wife Dana and daughters Indiana and Mattigan. Whether the man knew he wasn't long for this world will remain up for debate, but here's a partial transcript of his now haunting final address to the WWE fanbase from Monday night:
"No WWE talent becomes a legend on their own. Every man's heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe a final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them bleed deeper and something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized. By the story tellers, by the loyalty, by the memory of those who honor him and make the running the man did live forever."
TVRage extends our condolences to the family, friends, and fans of James "Ultimate Warrior" Hellwig.
Additionally I would like to also add the following comment.
I would love to see the WWE make a gesture of good faith by 1st giving ALL the proceeds from the sale of the Warrior's newest DVD that was released just yesterday to his surviving Family.
Secondly I think they should offer to put both of his beautiful young girls through College or at least start a College Trust Fund for them!
I have been a HUGE Wrestling fan for over 50 years and the Ultimate warrior was one of my 5 all-time favorites and I am simply heartbroken over this news as I am sure all his great Fans are? I can't believe that I just saw him on Live TV on Monday night at WWE RAW and the next day he passes it is all so sad. After all the years being snubbed by the WWE he finally gets invited to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame? Its' like he knew he was dying and he finally made peace with not only the WWE Big Boys but especially with Mr. Vincent J. McMahon Jr. His speech at the WWE Hall of fame Induction ceremony this past Saturday night where he did not have 1 bad thing to say about Vince and in fact thanked him is another indication that he knew he was not long for this world. I noticed that when he walked off the stage on Saturday night and again on Monday night he had a very strange walk almost like a small limp as to indicate something was differently wrong with his body? I wish to send out my prayers, well wishes and condolences to his entire Family, Friends and Fans as he will be greatly missed by the Millions that he entertained over these many years!
R.I.P. Warrior!

A. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to absorbing, anti-reflection (AR) coatings.
B. Description of the Related Technology
Conventional absorbing anti-reflection coatings (absorbing ARs) comprise multiple pairs of thin metal underlayers and approximately quarter-wave thick low index dielectric overcoats. The coating terminates in a low index dielectric layer. This design approach is described in Joseph H. Apfel, "Graphics in Optical Coating Design," Applied Optics, Vol. 11, p. 1303, 1972.
Using the above design philosophy, one can optimize for minimum reflection, ignoring transmission. The result is a so-called "dark mirror". Typical applications of dark mirrors include the internal baffling of telescopes and other high gain optical systems. Alternately, one can compromise between intermediate levels of transmission and slightly higher reflection. This ability to select transmission and reflection has led to the perhaps overly simplistic description of absorbing AR's as being "tunable."
The assignee, Optical Coating Laboratory, Inc. has marketed a two period absorbing AR coating deposited on PET for use in GlareGuard® contrast enhancement filters. This absorbing AR product used a four layer nickel/magnesium fluoride design: Ni/MgF2 /Ni/MgF2. A theoretical plot of this design is depicted in FIG. 1, for comparison to the performance of product embodying the present invention. This prior product is characterized by conductivity (sheet resistivity) of about 2000 Ω/□, coating transmission ≦60%, and reflection ≦0.25%. The nickel/fluoride coating can not be sputtered successfully.
A central point of the Apfel teaching, and of subsequent designs, is that coatings employing absorbing (metallic) materials can provide low reflectance performance over a broad band by employing multiple periods of metal/dielectric layers. In general, absorbing AR coatings for display applications have been limited to one or two periods, apparently in an attempt to balance the requirement of low reflection against the competing requirement of high transmission, which requires minimizing the metal content of the coating. For many applications, establishing this balance with 40%-60% transmission is adequate. It seems impossible to construct the repeating period structure with metal films which are thin enough to produce higher transmission.
However, some contrast enhancement applications do require a higher level of transmission, such as 70%. Such a high level of transmission applies where it is necessary or desirable to match as closely as possible the optical performance of current optical system designs which use an all dielectric anti-reflection coating applied to absorbing glass. For example, replacing the 70% transmitting bonded safety panel on a CRT with a coating directly deposited onto the CRT faceplate may require that the coating likewise exhibit 70% transmission.
To achieve such a high level of transmission performance, it is necessary to decrease the thickness of the metal to the extent that other limiting factors become operative (dominant). For example, as films get progressively thinner, they begin to lose their electrical conductivity, either through anomalous skin effects or because they are so thin as to be discontinuous, that is, they do not form a continuous film.
The present invention provides a means of reducing the reflection from the face of video displays such as CRTs and improving contrast by increasing the absorption of light reflected and scattered off features such as internal phosphors or interfaces of the display. In one aspect, the present invention is embodied in an absorbing anti-reflection coating which can be formed directly on a substrate such as the face of a video display by physical or chemical deposition. Preferably, the coating design is selected from substrate/MHLHL/air or aubstrate/HMHL/air, where L is a material such as a metal oxide having a relatively low index of refraction, H is a material such as a metal oxide having a relatively high index of refraction, and M is an optically absorbing material such as a metal or metal alloy or metallic compound layer.
In a presently preferred embodiment for video displays, L is a low refractive index metal oxide for which n at 550 nm is less than about 1.70; H is a high refractive index metal oxide for which n at 550 nm is greater than about 1.90; and the metal layer M is selected from metal or metal alloy or metallic compound material having a refractive index greater than about 0.5 and an extinction coefficient less than approximately 5.
In yet another aspect, the present invention is embodied in a composite of the type described above, wherein L is selected from organic polymers, SiOx, including SiO2, and Al2 O3 ; H is selected from Nb2 O5, TiO2, ZrO2, In2 O3, SnO2 and alloys of said materials; and M is selected from gray metals and alloys including nickel chromium iron alloy, titanium, iron, chromium, nickel, niobium and cobalt, nitrides of titanium, iron, chromium, niobium and cobalt, and alloys of the stated metals and metal compounds. Suitable organic polymers include plasma polymerized organosilanes, spin-coated silicones and spin-coated fluoropolymers.
The present invention is described below with reference to the drawing, in which:
FIG. 1 depicts a theoretical plot of a prior art two period, four layer (Ni/MgF2 /Ni/MgF2), absorbing AR coating deposited on PET and available from the assignee for mounting on contrast enhancement filters.
FIG. 2 is a simplified schematic depiction of a cross-section of a preferred absorbing, anti-reflection composite in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 3 depicts a reflectance vector amplitude plot, commonly referred to as a circle diagram, for an absorbing, anti-reflection coating in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 4 depicts the theoretical reflectance of an absorbing, AR coating embodying the present invention, specifically the design: substrate\Nb2 O5, 19 nm\Inconel, 6 nm\Nb2 O5, 64 nm\SiO2, 88 nm\air.
FIG. 5 depicts the measured reflectance of an absorbing, anti-reflection coating for which the theoretical reflectance is given in FIG. 4.
FIG. 2 depicts a preferred embodiment of a composite 10 comprising an absorbing anti-reflection coating 14 in accordance with the present invention, formed on a substrate 12 such as the glass faceplate or panel of a video display such as CRT or plasma display by techniques such as physical or chemical vapor deposition. To assist in understanding the orientation of CRTs and the like, the figure also includes reference to the ambient air and to the vacuum enclosure of the CRT. The figure also depicts the optional use of phosphor elements 16, for example on the inner side of a CRT faceplate. The absorbing anti-reflection coating 14 comprises at least 4 layers selected from the three materials L, H, and M, where L is a material having a relatively low index of refraction, H is a material having a relatively high index of refraction, and M is a metal or metal alloy or metallic compound layer. For convenience, we simply term M a "metal layer."
Preferably, L is a metal oxide such as SiO2 which has a refractive index ≦1.60 at about 550 nm; H is a metal oxide such as Nb2 O5 which has a refractive index ≧2.2 at about 550 nm; and the metal layer M has a refractive index greater than about 0.5 and an extinction coefficient less than about 5. Using these materials and the design MHLHL or HMHL provides reflectance ≦0.5% at 550 nm. Furthermore, the selection of M can be used to vary the transmission of the coating between 55% and 80% and to provide a coating resistivity which is less than 1000 ohms per square, preferably less than 500 ohms/sq.
The above-described design embodying the present invention uses a fundamentally different approach for achieving broadband reflection performance. Instead of multiple periods of metal/dielectric pairs, a single metal layer is used, which is part of an otherwise dielectric anti-reflection (AR) structure. Because only a single metal layer is employed, it can be and is sufficiently thick so that its "bulk" metallic optical and electric properties are in large part retained.
Furthermore, the above design reduces the reflection from the surface of substrates such as CRTs or other displays and also improves contrast by increasing the absorption of light which is reflected and scattered off features such as internal phosphors or interfaces in the display. The use of metals provides a unique combination of advantages, including 1) process simplicity, 2) conductive coating, and 3) ease of coating removal for rework. The need for coating rework is critical for high value substrates such as displays, which must be salvaged if the coating is defective. If the first layer is metal, wet chemical etching can be used to remove the coating. For other first layer materials, mechanical polishing will readily remove the coating.
For purposes of illustration, consider the exemplary substrate\HMHL\air design and the associated circle diagram of FIG. 3. Employing the terminology of the circle diagram, the anti-reflection coating 12 is formed on the substrate by first forming the high index dielectric film to a thickness of less than a visual quarterwave, but substantially thicker than the layers described for example in the Szczyrbowski Offenlegungschrifft. Choices for the low index material include organic polymers, SiOx, including SiO2, and Al2 O3. The metal layer, which is formed next, on the first high index film, preferably is a so-called "gray" metal or alloy thereof. Suitable choices include nickel chromium iron alloy, titanium, iron, chromium, nickel, niobium and cobalt and nitrides of titanium, iron, chromium, niobium and cobalt, and alloys of these metals and metal compounds. Typical metal layer thickness is 6-8 nm. On the circle diagram, this metal layer provides a reflectance amplitude proximate the negative real axis with a magnitude of about 0.5. Because of the relative insensitiviity of the amplitude reflectance of the metal layer to changes in wavelength, this location is relatively constant across a reasonably broad band such as the visual spectrum. (From an optical standpoint, this dielectric/metal substructure behaves like a high index dielectric.) The antireflection coating is completed by forming the outer high index and low index dielectric layers on the existing structure. The low index material may be Nb2 O5, TiO2, ZrO2, In2 O3, SnO2 and alloys of said materials. The thickness of each of these two outer layers is essentially a visual quarter-wave optical thickness QWOT). The two layers effectively function as a two layer, step-down anti-reflection coating.
An exemplary design in accordance with the present invention (substrate\HMHL\air) is: substrate\Nb2 O5, 19 nm\Inconel, 6 nm\Nb2 O5, 64 nm\SiO2, 88 nm\air, where nm refers to nanometer(s). The theoretical reflectance of this anti-reflection coating is shown in FIG. 4; the measured reflectance is shown in FIG. 5.
TABLE 1 below lists optical properties used to generate the theoretical reflectance of the exemplary substrate\HMHL\air design.
The design features and associated functions/benefits of the novel design according to the present invention include the following. First, broadband performance is achieved with a low layer count. The low layer count (4 or 5 layers) lowers costs, provides ease of process control, and facilitates use of a continuous, in-line process. Second, the single metal layer design permits relatively low values of sheet resistance (high conductivity), which permit better shielding of devices such as CRTs. Third, transmittance values are high, typically 70%±5%, and higher than can be achieved using other broadband absorbing designs. The high transmittance provides an optimum compromise between display contrast and brightness. Finally, but not exhaustively, the low reflectance, ≦0.6%, enhances contrast and increases the visual signal-to-noise ratio of the associated display or monitor.

Tallahassee FL Guidelines On Employing The Best Jacksonville Dumpster Rental
If we do not participate in the appropriate administration and reducing of landfill, it will shortly fill up so a lot area and eat up the areas that we ought to be enjoying. By doing our share, we will undoubtedly enable ourselves and the atmosphere from the hazardous effects of landfills.
Yet another reason you would quite possibly seem at dumpster rentals is if you intend on executing construction on your household or place of work making. Almost all regions will not permit the dumping of lumber, nails or other similar squander. These components can additional frequently than not be positioned inside the dumpster to get taken away when necessary. Some rubbish bin rentals accommodate the dumping of harmful squander as well and will use disposal bins for this on the residence.
To dispose the waste from renovation, it is always a good idea to decide on http://www.1stopdumpsterrental.com/florida/dumpster-rental-tallahassee-fl/">http://www.1stopdumpsterrental.com/florida/dumpster-rental-tallahassee-fl/ provider. A dumpster rental is used to dispose too much quantities of rubbish that has been created from different sources like house renovation, development, lawn cleanup and industrial cleanup. The dumpster rental services will lessen the squander supplies disposed in the landfills by recycling and will also aid us in minimizing the environmental air pollution.
In my expertise, the clean up-out procedure includes clearing the home of any of the previous occupant's possessions. Incredibly, several go away driving home furniture and individual objects that are not of any use to the financial institution. On top of that, if sections of the house have been damaged or partly eliminated, any remaining free things will want to be cleared out and hauled away. In a circumstance like this, the bank could inquire nearby contractors to post bids for the clean-out project.
Rubbish landfill can engage in a very essential function in our life. This is the cause why the government is having to pay a lot attention to the management of landfill places in the nation. It can pose great risk to our overall health and atmosphere if we don't correctly handle them. This is also the purpose why some communities have adapted the process of cutting down, reusing and recycling of garbage components as their particular response to the expanding issue about appropriate rubbish disposal.
Taking into consideration about renting a dumpster to get rid of all of that material you experienced ripped out of your renovation home process? By arranging dumpster rentals oneself you can maintain cash, in excess of obtaining your contractor do it. This is an uncomplicated way to enable a several more dollars accumulate in your fiscal establishment account. These days, we are not able to just deliver trash into the landfill devoid of recycling what at any time is possible, mostly due to the fact of our dependable issues about the all-natural natural environment.
Points you are likely to maintain should be classified, but not essentially set away - it is generally handy to get all the junk out initially in advance of tackling the work of organizing and finding houses for the things that you want to hold. This is also a good time to dust, vacuum and clean home windows as you will be moving factors all around and stirring up the dust anyhow.
It is a aware exertion to pull every person together in buy to apply a productive group project in response to reducing the impression of landfill in our atmosphere. The quite first matter that we need to do is to independent the organic and natural or the meals squander from the rest of the garbage that we collected. As a reference, here is a swift checklist of what this type of rubbish ought to contain: greens and fruits scraps, eggshells, espresso grounds, tea baggage, property squander, desk scraps and meat. All of these supplies can be utilised for composting, which in convert can be utilised as plant fertilizers. This can also support in extending your group undertaking to natural farming.By mamieport

Hard Top
Does anyone know how much the hard top weighs on 2013 2door. I would like to take it of but would like to know how heavy it is first. Thanks
Yup, what Con said. 90 lbs. And it's an awkward back heavy 90 lbs, so using a lift or having a buddy help is recommended.

All the Pretty Horses play last show
class=img_thumbleft>Email fromVenus
ofAll the Pretty Horses,
who play their last show at theTriple Rock
on Friday, January 13: This will be ATPH's last show. The band is taking a hiadis and is not scheduling any more performances until further notice. (it will be a long time) ATPH would like to thank Minneapolis and St. Paul for all their support over these last 9 years. And I, (Venus,) want to personally extend that thanks. I feel proud to have remained based here in Minneapolis throughout ATPH's run. And I feel strongly about staying based here as I venture onto new musical projects.
Taking our hiatus has been a hard decision for me to make. With the exception of our second CD (Queens and Angels,) release on Minneapolis' own Twin/Tone record label, I have kept ATPH as an independent band while running our own record label, and promotions company: Skindog Productions.Through our 9 years run, we've toured the US, been to both coasts, toured the UK twice, New Zealand once, and performed in Amsterdam's 'Paridiso'. We've released 5 CD's. And throughout, we've called Minneapolis our home...
I feel so honored to have been, along with my wife, Lynette, and my band, ATPH, the subject of the documentary by Emily Goldberg: "Venus of Mars," which is still making the rounds world wide. (recently it won the Best Feature Documentary award at the 2005 Milwaukee International Film Fest. I found myself without words, when after 9 years ATPH was awarded the 2005 Minnesota Music Awards Hard Rock Artist/Group award. Our first and only musical award. (it's been sitting on our studio's bar, since that night, (ironically it was just 3 days before the award that I had made the decision to take our hiatus. )
I have struggled with the weight of debt, felt growing frustration as my innocence of how the music industry works was lost. I've grieved, along with friends and band members, as we lived through deaths, suicides, and crumbled hopes.
Since I was 18, I've lived a rock and roll life as a total jerk, a desperate wanna be, and an aggressive musical asshole. In addition to this early stage of my career choice, I have come to learn that life isn't always what you want, or expect. Through the years, my nature has been tempered, and my own personal journey of unraveling my own gender identity, has contributed to this.
My determination to follow my dream, no matter what, has caused me to nearly destroy my marriage, ( I recently lived through a 13 month separation from my wife of 22 years, (during which time I wrote the bulk of my upcoming solo CD.))
Despite all this, I wouldn't change a thing.
I personally want to thank you all, the Mpls/St.Paul press; City Pages, Pulse, Star Trib, St. Paul Pioneer Press, The Rake, Rift Mag, MPR, The Current, KQ, 92X, KFAI, Radio K,(have I missed anyone?,) for all your continued support of this project, and I hope you would set aside time to come join us for this, our last scheduled Minneapolis / St. Paul performance, as we come to the end of this long path, and begin to dream of new and independent journeys.
Sincerely, Venus / All The Pretty Horses

text: Innovators | Photo Gallery Africa's Greatest Innovators in Arts and Sciences We asked distinguished professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., director of the W. E. B. Du Bois Research Institute at Harvard University, to name some of Africa's top intellectual innovators. PUBLISHED Tue May 06 21:29:00 EDT 2014 0 1 / 9 Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Nigerian-born Adichie is the author of three novels, most recently the critically acclaimed Americanah. The book describes the affecting journey of a Nigerian woman who takes her chances in America as an emigrant, not because of poverty or hunger in her homeland, but to escape what she calls the "oppressive lethargy of choicelessness." The book is also a penetrating discourse on what it means to be black and how views of identity differ between African Americans and American Africans. In addition to her brilliant storytelling skills, Adichie has stepped into the realm of politics with her TED talk called "We Should All Be Feminists," said to have inspired the Beyoncé song "Flawless" and various opinion pieces. PHOTOGRAPH BY SUNDAY ALAMBA/ASSOCIATED PRESS Samir Amin Amin is an Egyptian political economist who has written over 30 books on the political economics of development, as well as many analyses of Arab and African economies. Much of his work focuses on the relationship between developed and underdeveloped countries. An avowed Marxist, he believes capitalism is an invidious force that monopolizes commercial power, strangling growth in the developing world. Amin studied in Paris in the 1940s and '50s, where he received degrees in political science and statistics, and earned his Ph.D. in economics in 1957. He then returned to his native Cairo, where he worked for the Institution for Economic Management. He left Egypt to work with the Ministry of Planning of the newly independent Mali, and later was a professor of economics in France and Senegal. He then became director of the United Nations African Institute for Economic Development and Planning and is currently the director of the Third World Forum, an organization in Dakar, Senegal, that brings together opinion makers from Africa, Asia, and Latin America to analyze and strategize on global development. PHOTOGRAPH BY DUNG VO TRUNG, SYGMA/CORBIS Kwame Anthony Appiah British-born, Ghanaian-American philosopher and writer Appiah has a range of intellectual pursuits that includes the history of ideas in Africa, moral and political theory, the philosophy of language and mind, and fiction writing. His nonfiction book, The Honor Code: How Moral Revolutions Happen, explores how a sense of honor can both perpetuate an abhorrent practice like slavery and bring about its end. After growing up in Ghana, Appiah earned his Ph.D. in the United Kingdom before moving to the United States to teach philosophy at Harvard, Duke, Princeton, and other universities. Most recently he joined the faculty at New York University as a professor in the Department of Philosophy and the School of Law. He serves on the advisory boards of PEN American Center and the United Nations Democracy Fund and has been elected into the American Philosophical Society and American Academy of Arts and Sciences. PHOTOGRAPH BY REX FEATURES, ASSOCIATED PRESS Nadine Gordimer This South African writer won the 1991 Nobel Prize in literature. The Nobel committee said that Gordimer, "through her magnificent epic writing, in the words of Alfred Nobel, 'has been of very great benefit to humanity.'" A daughter of white, middle-class Jewish immigrants, Gordimer developed an early interest in racial and economic inequality in South Africa and wrote about this injustice in her books. In an interview with the Paris Review in 1980, however, she took pains to minimize the role of politics in her work and underscore that the larger goal of a writer is "to try to make sense of life. I think that's what writing is." Her works include The Soft Voice of the Serpent, a collection of short stories; The Lying Days; July's People; and her most recent, No Time Like the Present. Gordimer was active in the antiapartheid movement, joining the African National Congress after it was banned. PHOTOGRAPH BY DAVID LEVENSON, GETTY IMAGES Louis B. Leakey The contributions by British paleoanthropologist, archaeologist, and zoologist Leakey to the knowledge of human evolutionary development in Africa are unparallelled, beginning with his discoveries in the Olduvai Gorge of Tanzania in 1931. Born in Kenya to British parents, Leakey created organizations that promote further research of archaeology in Africa as well as the protection of wildlife. The National Geographic Society has supported the work of Leakey, his wife, Mary, and their descendants in East Africa since 1959, when they discovered the 1.75-million-year-old skull of a humanlike creature they called Zinjanthropus. Leakey spent five decades digging up fossils of hominids and other animals in Africa's Rift Valley, exponentially expanding our understanding of early humans. He believed that by studying today's great apes, much could be learned about the behavior of early humans. His work had a direct influence on that of Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Birute Galdikas. PHOTOGRAPH BY GORDON GAHAN, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Wangari Maathai (1940-2011) Born in Kenya, Maathai is internationally recognized for her struggle for democracy, human rights, and environmental conservation. She was the founder of the Green Belt Movement, a tree-planting initiative that focused on reducing poverty and conserving the environment, for which she received the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize. Maathai was the first woman in East and Central Africa to earn a doctorate and have the title of associate professor. She spoke at the United Nations numerous times on behalf of women and to press for better management of the environment. She was elected to Kenya's parliament and later became Assistant Minister for the Environment, Natural Resources, and Wildlife. PHOTOGRAPH BY OLIVIER MORIN, GETTY IMAGES Miriam Makeba (1932-2008) Also known as Mama Africa, Makeba was a Grammy Award-winning singer from South Africa. Her musical style ranged from jazz to Afro-soul to marabi, a type of popular music that originated in the black townships of South Africa. The first artist from Africa to popularize African music around the world, Makeba was also a civil rights activist and one of the most outspoken opponents of the apartheid regime. As a result, the South African government revoked her passport in 1960 and three years later denied her the right to return to her country. After 30 years in exile, Makeba was able to return only when the system of apartheid was dissolved. She died in 2008 of a heart attack after performing her hit song "Pata Pata" at a concert in Italy organized to take a stand against the Camorra, a mafia-like organization. PHOTOGRAPH BY SALVATORE LAPORTA, ASSOCIATED PRESS Babatunde Olatunji (1927-2003) Fascinated by African music from a young age, Nigerian drummer Olatunji helped pave the way for African music in the West. As a young man, he received a Rotary International Foundation scholarship that allowed him to attend Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia. At Morehouse, he organized a small group to play African music at school social events. After graduating as president of the student body, he studied public administration at New York University, where he started a small percussion group. Due to a lack of funds, he withdrew from the university and began to focus on music and give concerts, which led to him getting a job playing drums in a Radio City Music Hall production. It was not long before he was spotted by a Columbia Records producer and began releasing albums featuring traditional African music and hybrid compilations, winning him the enthusiastic acclaim of other jazz musicians. Olatunji was also a social activist, known for using the performance hall as his platform. PHOTOGRAPH BY WILLIAM JAMES WARREN/SCIENCE FACTION/CORBIS Akinwande "Wole" Soyinka A Nigerian writer notable for his plays and poems, in 1986 Soyinka was the first African to be awarded the Nobel Prize in literature. Soyinka bases his writing on the mythology of his own Yoruba tribe and connects his plays to traditional African theater, dance, and music. Though he primarily considers himself a playwright, he has written novels and several volumes of poetry. After earning his doctorate in the United Kingdom, he worked at the Royal Court Theatre in London, where he wrote and produced plays.

East Carolina University tested a new emergency notification system Thursday that officials hope will get the message out to those in harm's way during an emergency in a fast and efficient manner.
The I.P. Phone Broadcast Systems relays a voice and text message through the Cisco I.P. phones. The phones are installed in several offices and classroom, the Heart Institute and in other locations on west campus.
The next phase of this project will include loud speakers placed throughout campus to alert students on a variety of emergencies, from severe weather to dangerous intruders.
The university hopes to complete that phase by fall 2009.
