Why do we still build like old times?
In a world of bustling technologies, HUGE advances in construction knowledge and skyrocketing energy prices, why does everyone still build without regarding for thermal/moisture efficiencies? I don't consider cost to be an appropriate point since construction+operational costs over a 15-20 year period for a poorly insulated envelope usually outweigh that of a well insulated envelope....so why the backwards building approach?
Lack of education in what's avalible and differant ways of doing it would be my guess.
Human nature to want to do things in your comfort zone, why take the time to learn a new way of doing it?
Not disageeing with you, just the way it is.
Once people are stuck in there own ways, they don't want to change. Even if it could benefit for the better...
I thought I heard that we were making such advancements, and then studies showed that we weren't moving enough air so it was unhealthy.
I remember when compression fittings came out...didn't trust it, now I use them whenever possible. I hated the concept of PEX, now I use it 90% of the time. I couldn't believe Shark-Bites work as well as they do...you get the idea:laughing:
bb is right...its all in what you are comfortable with.
The other thought is that a lot of renovations today are still being performed by "old timers" like myself (people like to hire tradesmen with experience). Wait until the next generation of trades people establish themselves, and you will see a noticeable change. I encourage my daughter to seek a career in the trades simply because there are relatively few changes in basic construction.
the big issue I have experienced is people only look at the dollars they spend today, not the ones they will spend in the future. they'd rather hire "Fly-By-Night Builders" than a quality builder because they will save a few "bucks" which makes them a "smart shopper!"
I can easily sale them on thermal improvements and get them to understand in the long run they will save money. in the end they'd rather have granite counter tops than a quality envelope. After all their neighbors can see the granite, not their insulation. They will spend money on what they see, not what is hidden.
You nailed it---
Well said.
I think the early versions of technologies have taught people to stick to their old ways. Polybutylene, phenolic foam, Stab-lok breakers, asbestos to name a few. Of course, from those better technologies have emerged.
Costs. It costs more to do it right the first time, than find every corner they can cut, to get the job done. Besides it always ends up over schedule & over budget for most.
25 years ago I built my house as energy efficient as I could----2x6 walls---1 inch foam board and Andersons best windows.
That move has saved me a ton of money in the last 25 years---best 'extra' that I could have ordered---
2400 square foot---a single wood stove heats the entire house very nicely----the Hydronic heating system serves as a back up---sure helps stretch the cash when times are tough---heating bill for last January--February and March was $400 total for all three months.
We have a local builder here that builds a decent energy efficient home.
I hear his adds on the radio all the time, boast a incredibly cheap annual operating cost for his green built homes. He has some base model homes that are in line with other new comparable homes, price wise. So really not that more expensive to build.
Really is just knowledge and using different techniques during construction.
Here is a short video he made of the construction process, of course he is a wind bag and trying to sale his product, some may like to watch it to see what techniques he uses, wide insulated foundation, 2x8 framing, dropped ceilings and such.
Some of it I incorporate into my remodelling.
One trick I use is a 2x4 exterior wall, then a second 2x4 wall 12" in. You can triple the r value, get a real nice fat wall that is noticeable in door ways and windows, archways etc.
I've often wondered the same thing. My Dad was part of National Homes, who used new technologies and factory-built walls to put up millions of houses in the 50s and early 60s, yet nowadays for anything but the cheapie apartment market you don't see any of those manufacturing efficiencies applied to new homes.
It seems the real gains have been in the environmental and ease-of-application areas for materials we use nowadays. No more lead paint and thank heavens for wallboard v plaster and lath, for examples.
I do think the time is ripe for a brand new set of ideas - I'm enthusiastic about the new modular container-based home types becoming popular in big cities and in Europe. Some young person is probably watching a bunch of carpenters framing a house right now and thinking, "There has GOT to be a better way!"
Lets use the Chevy Volt as an example.....in the long term it can save a lot of money.....but the upfront cost is high....
Same with building.....sticker shock.....
I'm doing my own work on a 2-story addition....have learned a ton over the past year....after awhile you start to see the payback cost on certain items......
Like most things....at the end of the day it comes down to $$$$$

Strokes are the first cause of acquired physical disability among adults. Some studies proved that depression is often an unrecognized complication from stroke, associated with a vital prognosis, functional and cognitive pejorative diagnosis. It led us to pose the hypothesis of the existence of a particular psychological state after stroke particularly favorable to a psychotherapeutic alliance. So, this longitudinal monocentric study aims to estimate the feasibility of a talk therapy and its impact on the anxio-depressive symptomatology after stroke.

Elevated dark-adapted thresholds in hypopigmented mice measured with a water maze screening apparatus

In previous electrophysiological experiments from hypopigmented animals (mice, rats, rabbits), single-unit recordings from both retinal ganglion axons and cells in the superior colliculus have demonstrated an increase in threshold in the dark-adapted state which is roughly proportional to the ocular melanin concentration. In the present study we compared an albino mouse strain which is relatively resistant to light damage and the beige mouse mutant to their wild-type controls in a situation that involved unanesthetized, unrestrained mice as a control to the electrophysiological single unit experiments. We used a six-chambered water maze. Animals were trained to swim to an illuminated ramp until their performances leveled off (about 10 days). The animals were then dark-adapted for 24 h and tested after reducing the luminance level of the water maze. We found that the albino mice failed to find the ramp when the luminance fell to 1.58×10−3 cd/m2 (p≤.0001), the beige mice failed at 2.00×10−4 cd/m2 (p≤.0001), and the normally pigmented controls performed to 5.00×10−5 cd/m2 (p≤.0001). These results support our previous findings that the sensitivity defect in hypopigmented animals is proportional to the degree of ocular hypopigmentation.

ALVA, Okla. – It's been a while, in fact since November 29, 1993 since the Lady Rangers upset Oklahoma Christian. That changed on Tuesday, as Northwestern downed the Lady Eagles 67-58 for Northwestern's fourth Sooner Athletic Conference win of the season.
The Lady Rangers battled back from a seven-point deficit in the first half and took a 25-21 into the break. Stats were similar for both teams: Northwestern shot 38 percent as Oklahoma Christian shot 39 percent and both teams hit 33 percent from three.
Northwestern held onto that lead until nine minutes left, when Oklahoma Christian knotted the game at 40-40. Autumn Klugh came up big with a pair of back-to-back three-pointers and the Rangers edged up to an 11 point lead with a minute to go.
The Lady Rangers hit seven three's in 20 attempts and upped its percentage to 41 percent for the night.
Four Rangers found double figures as D'Shanna Butler scored 20 points, including half of those on free throws. Danielle Stebens scored 12 points and Leandra Johnson and Annalena Farias both finished with 10 points. Butler, Stebens and Autumn Klugh hit two-threes each, while Kelli Krows added one from beyond the arc.
Oklahoma Christian shot 40 percent on the night and was spurred by Hillary Duncan's 18 points and Brittney Kennedy's 10 points.
Northwestern hit the boards hard, taking down 40 rebounds compared to 27 Eagle boards.
The Lady Rangers (9-11, 4-10) play their second game of the week on Thursday, Feb. 5 at Siloam Springs against John Brown. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

RMS Description and Script

Truesource saying that the card has a 5% chance, with 1% script.
Our database displaying the 1% auto-cast script.
This being the script RMS, Truesource, and our database displays.
{ bonus3 bAutoSpell,17,5,10; bonus3 bAutoSpell,19,5,10; },{},{}
I have tested this in-game and found that upon killing 5 mushrooms which is 75 attacks, I auto-casted Fireball once, and Fire Bolt nil times. I also found that upon killing various rooms full of Rockers, Martins, Mantis, Boas and Bigfoots, along with a few black mushrooms in Hidden Temple, I had auto-casted Fireball 3 times, and Fire Bolt once, 4 casts, from hundreds of attacks. This seems uncharacteristically low of a supposed 5% chance for each, I was wearing a Gokurin and cursing much more often (Gokurin has a now-fixed 10% curse chance.)
Taking into consideration the intended difficulty of the Kasa, which would logically boost the power of it's card, and that the chance that various different people mistranslated 1 for 5 in the description is quite slim, I think the chance should be increased to it's more likely intended 5% rate.
Which would be
{ bonus3 bAutoSpell,17,5,50; bonus3 bAutoSpell,19,5,50; },{},{}
tl;dr Kasa auto-cast chance is super duper low, it says it's supposed to be higher, fix plz.

Ghana thump Morocco in African U20 Championship qualifier
Ghana hold the advantage to qualify to the 2013 African Youth Championship finals after beating Morocco 4-1 on Sunday in the final round first leg qualifier.
The Black Satellites took the lead through South Africa-based winger Frank Sarfo Gyamfi who finished off a through pass from Moses Odjer in the 31st minute.
But the Atlas Cubs came back from the break revitalized and levelled the scoring two minutes into play.
Striker Chibi Mohammed made use of a counter-attack to beat Ghana goalkeeper Felix Annan.
Seven minutes later, Ghana captain Lawrence Lartey headed home from a Derrick Mensah corner to give the Satellites the lead.
Substitute Frank Acheampong was at the right place to head in the third goal on 58 minutes after a goal bound shot deflected off the body of a Moroccan.
On the 90th minute mark, the Thailand-based player rounded the Moroccan goalkeeper after a delicious counter-attack to seal the win for the 2009 Africa and World champions.
Ghana travel to Rabat in a fortnight time for the second leg tie.

The Essays of Brother Anonymous
Introducing the Galactic Federation
Written: July 9, 2009.
Revised: July 10, 2009.
When we chronicle the various human civilizations that have come to Earth to help with our planetary transformation, we may overlook the one civilization that is, and has for millennia been, here already – the residents of the Hollow Earth.
For those who find it hard to imagine a hollow Earth, we may remind ourselves of experiments conducted by the Apollo 12 and 13 Lunar Missions. In them, the lunar module ascent stage was crashed into the surface of the Moon. In the first trial, shockwaves reverberated for over an hour; in the second, for over three hours.
Some likened the result to ringing a bell. An MIT scientist, Dr. Sean C. Solomon, conceded the possibility that the Moon might be hollow. (1)
Retired Naval Intelligence Commander Mark Huber serves as a conduit for information from "Faction 3," the Earth allies who oppose the Rothschild (Faction 1) and Rockefeller (Faction 2) Illuminati cabals. He says that there are more than a hundred crystal cities in the Agartha Network. (2) The original founders were refugees fleeing the fall of Lemuria. (3)
Commander Huber reports that our family living in the crystal cities are higher-dimensional. When the entrances to Agartha are opened, the Inner Earth residents will be coming to the surface to assist terrestrials preparing for Ascension. (4)
The capital of Agartha is Shamballah. Other cities include Shangri-la, Telos, Mikos, Catharia, Petiti, and Mt. Shasta. At least one entranceway near the North Pole is now beginning to show up on undoctored Google Earth photos.
Agarthan cities are spread around … or rather, inside … the globe. Petiti lies under the Amazon jungle; Catharia, under the Aegean Sea; and Mt. Shasta, under the Nevada desert. (5)
An Agarthan communicator named "Mikos" describes his life in Catharia, 800 miles deeper than the bottom of the Aegean, off Greece's mainland.
"Here we reside in peace and comfort and abundance and great wealth of health and body and spirit. For living so deep inside the Earth has given us all we could ever dream of." (6)
The most extensive descriptions of Agarthan habitat and lifestyle come from Sheldan Nidle's GF informants. I personally have no means of vouching for the reliability of anyone's reports (I have never been to the Inner Earth) and so I caution the reader, as always, to exercise discrimination.
Nidle's sources call Agartha a fifth-dimensional realm. It was created with Light technology, which turned the Inner Earth into a paradise. When we enter it, we apparently first notice the gentler, diffuse glow of Earth's Central Sun.
According to Nidle, this Central Sun is our planet's inner core and 'heats' up our planet. The Outer Sun's energies simply determine how the inner-core energies are dispersed. Mother Earth's geomagnetic, geoelectric, and gravitational fields interlink to form the life-giving essence that is truly her heart and soul. This living entity is the sacred vehicle we now inhabit. (7)
The realm of Inner Earth, although in the main a continuation of the surface world, has some unusual topography. It has mountains said to be taller than Everest and oceans wider than the Pacific. There are allegedly rivers reminiscent of the Nile, Mississippi, and Yangtze.
Other things that will immediately strike us are the wide-open sky and the wonderfully pure scent of the air.
The people of Inner Earth have apparently turned their environment into specially-cared-for habitats where animals and plants long considered extinct flourish. (8)
I am told that we will find ourselves surrounded by lush fields, dense forests, and luminous crystal cities, radiating with ever-changing colors. These clusters of immense, glowing crystals house a society of 5D humans whose customs and ceremonies mirror those of other galactic humans throughout the galaxy.
We may get hints about our own life after Ascension by examining the lifestyles of the Agarthans. When we enter a crystal city, we apparently feel great calmness and a sense of coming home. We may marvel at the miles-high dome overhead or the magic of the holography that makes the inside resemble the outside.
Nidle's sources allege that the Agarthans are very friendly, as curious as children about who we are and as eager to help. Their homes are at once spacious and intimate due to the same holographic technology that combines their own superb abilities with the capabilities of their unique brand of organic computers.
The environment conforms to the wants and creativity of each inhabitant. Daily routines include dance, music, songs, and special chants, and the different colored clothing of each group of participants adds to the overall effect of these special gatherings.
Life there is a collage of work, family, and sacred duties. (9)
In another description of the Inner Earth, Nidle's sources point out that the realms of Inner Earth abound in technology. Like the GF's motherships, their cities are alive and exist to help each citizen fulfill her or his potential. Within them, the individual lives in a world that mirrors the pristine nature of Mother Earth's surface realm.
In the Inner Earth, the sky exists apparently according to its inhabitants' wishes and dwellings conform to the desires of each living Being. Their world is a paradise that floats within a cocoon of energy sustained by its technology. To them, "it is the land of delights."
"It is built not in a dark and limiting cavern, but instead forms a vast open interior of the planet with its own Central Sun at the core which shines from its own blue skies upon the interior surface of countryside, lakes and mountains. It is itself created by the desires of its inhabitants, Mother Earth and the Divine Plan." (10)
Occasionally, earthdwellers like Admiral Byrd have stumbled onto the opening to the Hollow Earth. Said afterlife communicator Matthew Ward:
"There are civilizations living within the hollow Earth and occasional meetings of one or more of them and surface folks—Admiral Byrd's diary describes his group's friendly reception and the beauty of the people and their environment. And telepathic communication between some souls on Earth and those in other civilizations has been going on 'close to forever.'" (11)
Mikos of Catharia reports that the Agarthans will meet the surface dwellers when "there is peace on the Earth's surface, but not before. … Then assuredly we will magically appear before you, in our physical forms of radiance. Yes, our cells radiate our Light and it is very visible to the eyes." (12)
Mark Huber predicts that "the population of the Inner Earth crystal cities will come to the surface to assist us as our destinies are tied together." (13) They will roll out the red carpet and take surface dwellers to see their sister subterranean world after First Contact. (14)
After Ascension, it is envisaged that all divisions on the planet will end and a unified realm will arise. (15) I should note that Mark disagrees with Nidle's contention that surface dwellers will spend a period cocooning in the Inner Earth to complete their transformation. (16)
St, Germain tells us that, when the spiritual hierarchy was laying its plans for Ascension, it knew it needed to ally with the Agarthans.
"It was foreseen that the [Agarthan] Forces of Light would be needed to pave the way for the Ascension path. Now greater forces that have accompanied Man for eons of time no longer wait in the wings to meet you, but prepare to take the first opportunity to reveal their presence. I refer to not just your Space friends, but also those wonderful loving souls that you know as the Inner Earth Beings. You are no strangers to them, and in bygone lives have walked shoulder to shoulder with them." (17)
Agartha is not Earthbound, so to speak. The 5D Agarthans operate a fleet of cigar-shaped ships known as the Silver Fleet, stationed at Telos. (18)
After the stargate appeared in the Gulf of Aden recently, Mark said:
"Consider that this is a massive escalation of the events in [the area of the Aden Stargate] and that all the Negative portals have been closed and sealed. That means that these cigar-shaped ships have to be coming from Positive Galactic Forces.
"One of the most obvious points of origin is the Agartha Network and I believe that these ships are part of Lord Anton's Silver Fleet from the inner earth higher dimensions." (19)
When they became aware of the Agarthans' contributions, Nidle's sources say, many branches of the secret government unsuccessfully tried to attack them.
"Operating from the bottom levels of their chain of underground bases, their special forces tried to penetrate inner Earth and force the Agarthans to refocus their priorities.
"These ongoing forays have failed, showing the dark cabal just how serious and committed the Agarthans are. … Our Earth allies are most grateful to their 'cousins' in Agartha. Without them the victory that is shortly to be announced could not have happened!" (20)
According to Mark Huber as well, a non-nuclear device, the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb (MOAB) or "Mother of all bombs" was secretly built to attempt penetration to the Hollow Earth/Agartha Network and tested in the Florida panhandle. (21)
According to Nidle's people, after the sinking of Atlantis, the surface dwellers were thrown into "limited consciousness." The surface portals to Atlantis were closed except to a chosen few. Higher-dimensional Agarthans who travelled to the surface were regarded as avatars (descents of the divine) and teachers of Light. Apart from them coming to the surface, there was little traffic between the inner and outer Earths.
Nevertheless, according to Nidle, as the moment for reunion approaches, the Agarthan Ruling Council has decreed that the extensive tunnel system to the surface be restored. (22)
According to Mark, planet-wide, Agarthan high-speed, non-polluting tunnels with ports under most major cities already exist and will be available quickly after the reptilians and cabalistas have been removed. These latter have access to the tunnels they have bored several miles below the surface. The Agarthan transportation system lies 800 miles deep and has been in use for many eons of time. (23)
We have examined the only galactic ally that does not come from beyond our Earth, but rather from within it. We have seen that they are higher-dimensional beings of Light who have built crystal cities which may give hints about our condition after Ascension. We have heard that they will be an integral part of First Contact and of our journey towards Ascension.

So it's the Tampa Rays vs. the Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series. I think the former bottom-dwelling team from Florida changed their fortunes when they dropped "Devil" from their name. The shift in imagery from a repellant sea creature to Florida sunshine was propitious; and in a game with so much superstition and fear of curses, the exorcism of a name change had to have helped.

Last year the Rockies, this year the Rays! Can the Brewers be far behind?
(Ans: unless they can sign a Sabathia or a Peavy, NO).
I am delighted the Rays made it. What struck me as their strengths was great athletic defense (Bartlett's error notwithstanding) and timely hitting. It should be a fun series with the Phils.
Did I mention the Phillies got there by beating the Brewers? No? Oh….

My favorite thing about the Rays: They're playing against Boston in the ALCS and they still can't sell about a quarter of their seats at home. By contrast, I'm sure that tickets for third tier seats were going for hundreds at Fenway.

The Fox network will hate it — Tampa Bay and Philadelphia are not the two markets they were hoping for. But, it's great for the people — these two teams are historically hapless and have exactly one World Series championship between them.
Go Phillies!
- Tony
So, can you suggest a form of exorcism to the hapless teams in the Pacific Northwest? Mariners or Seahawks?
Or does "this kind not go out except by prayer and fasting?"

We are so excited to announce that we are having a third precious little daughter! I can't even begin to express my pure excitement and joy!! Lantz and I both have dreamed of having a house full of girls and it looks like we'll get to be living that dream!
In case your curious about how we found out we were having another girl.....
We went in for our sonogram on December 2nd to find out about the growth of our little one & the sex of the baby. We asked our nurse to not show us what the sex was, so she told us to look away when she went "down under." We asked her to write the sex of the baby down in an envelope for us to open. We decided that we'd wait until December 18th, our 9 year anniversary, before we opened it. We thought it would be fun since we opened Kennedie's envelope on Christmas morning and Sawyer's envelope on Lantz's birthday. It just seemed fitting to open it on another special day for us.
I am not going to lie, I feel like this envelope tempted me more than the others. I would find my mind drifting to the thought of the envelope and the answer that awaited me.
For our anniversary my mom came over to watch the girls for us while Lantz and I went to dinner. We decided on a Japanese steak house since we both love hibachi and rarely get to eat it because of the price. After hibachi we decided we'd go to Cheesecake Factory (one of our favorites also) for dessert and the opening of our envelope. We decided that we'd ask our waitress to open the envelope and bring us the chocolate coconut cheesecake (our favorite & what we always get {makes sense- we've always gotten girls}) if the envelope said "Girl," and we asked her to bring us the Oreo cheesecake if it said boy (we both love Oreo & it sounded fun{like I'm sure a boy would have been}).
Well, we sat there on pins and needles for what felt like FOREVER, but in reality was like less than ten minutes. Lantz & I decided to pray together for our next sweet little baby while we waited. Then... here is what our waitress sat down in front of us:
It took us a second.... we were like, "Is that coconut?" "It's a girl, right?" As our waitress said, "Yes, it's a girl," the tears began streaming down my face and I was as giddy as a school girl! Lantz and I kissed and hugged and cried tears of joy and then sat there and stuffed our faces with cheesecake & talked about our 3rd sweet little girl. It was such a fun night! I really can't explain the emotions that I was feeling after we found out about our little girl. I was so insanely excited, and so utterly grateful. My heart poured thanksgiving out to my Lord for blessing us with another girl..... what I so desperately wanted for our family. I am still so smitten by the idea of having three little girls in our home. Wow!
After dessert we couldn't wait to get home to tell our girls the good news-- they were having a sister! Kennedie has been saying "girl" all along, so we knew she would be excited. I don't think Sawyer really understands yet, but she will soon. We decided that we'd go to Party City and get 2 balloons for the girls- 2 pink & 2 blue for them to take a picture with (to torment family & then later Facebook friends). Here the girls are:
We asked the girls if they could only keep one balloon which one did they want. They both said they wanted their pink balloons which was super fun. We were like, "Both of you want pink balloons?... Do you know what we are having?.... Another girl!!!!!!" (My mom got to watch all of this of course since she babysat (that was the moment she found out). We were all hugging and screaming and so excited! It was so much fun!! Here are the girls with their pink balloons:
We then sent the pink balloon picture out to family, followed pretty quickly by sending it out to Facebook because we just were so excited & couldn't keep it in any longer! We totally weren't thinking and forgot to ask my mom to take a picture of all 4 of us with the pink balloons, or at least one with Lantz & I. So we improvised. We asked our 3 year old to take a picture. We were posing for some, but she caught this one too & it's my favorite:
|(Ignore my house shoes... I had already gotten comfy.)
My third little girl... you are already so loved and my heart is already so smitten by you. I can't wait to welcome you into our family. I thank God for you daily and my prayer is that He continues to grow you and form you into His image. I love you so much sweet baby girl. See you, hug you, kiss you in April......

Organics will be collected weekly, on the same day as your trash collection.
Nearly half of the materials that end up in landfills can be composted.
Collecting food scraps, food-soiled paper and yard trimmings at the curb will help keep valuable materials out of our landfills, reduce harmful greenhouse gases and help Austin get closer to Zero Waste by 2040.
Composting is a natural process that breaks down organic materials, like food scraps and yard trimmings, into an earthy, nutrient-rich, soil-like material.
Areas were selected to represent the City's demographics, and to include collection on each of our service days, Monday through Friday.
See a map of participating neighborhoods.
Over the course of this pilot, we will gather and analyze data, evaluate the efficiency of our collection routes and refine our curbside organics collection services.
Austin Resource Recovery plans to continue service for customers currently in the pilot. Staff will evaluate the results of the pilot and present a report to City management and City Council with recommendations for future steps for the program.
When buried in a landfill, organic materials do not break down as they would in nature or in a compost pile. They decompose anaerobically, without oxygen, and in the process become the number one source of human-caused methane released into the atmosphere. By participating in this pilot, your organic materials will not go to a landfill and instead will be composted into a natural resource. Compost adds beneficial nutrients to the soil, helps retain water, and fertilizes lawns and gardens without using chemicals.
In addition to contributing to Austin's Zero Waste goal, curbside organics collection may help residents save money on their utility bills. After putting food scraps and food-soiled paper in their green carts, participants likely will have less trash to throw away each week. This may allow them to downsize to a smaller, less expensive trash cart. We offer four trash cart sizes – the smaller the cart, the less it costs. For example, downsizing from a 96-gallon cart to a 32-gallon cart will save you $226.80 per year. Learn more about pricing and size options.
The fees on your utility bill will not change with this new service. Austin Resource Recovery provides bundled services to manage your trash, recycling and organics collection services. Costs are based on your trash cart size – the smaller the cart, the less it costs. Fees appear on your monthly utility bill. After putting food scraps and food-soiled paper in their green carts, participants likely will have less trash to throw away each week. This may allow them to downsize to a smaller, less expensive trash cart. Learn more about pricing and size options.
After we collect your organic materials at the curb, they are transported to a local composting facility.
Materials are placed in a large pile where microorganisms begin to break down the materials and heat up the pile to very high temperatures. After 12 months or longer, materials break down and transform into an earthy, soil-like material called compost. Compost is used to fertilize plants, gardens and other outdoor areas. Learn more about the composting process by watching this video.
The Curbside Organics Collection Pilot is an expansion of the department's current weekly curbside yard trimmings collection. Since 1989, Austin Resource Recovery has partnered with Austin Water Utility to compost yard trimmings collected at the curb into Dillo DirtTM.
Curbside organics collection is the City's next step toward collecting additional organic materials at the curb. This service allows residents to place large quantities of yard trimmings, as well as food scraps and other food-soiled paper, directly into a 96-gallon green organics cart. The organic materials collected in the green cart are composted at a local composting facility using a different process.
Please place yard trimmings, including leaves, grass clippings and small branches directly in the green organics cart.
First, be sure to put as many yard trimmings as possible inside your organics cart. The lid must be able to close. Consider saving excess leaves and grass clippings to layer with food scraps in the future. If you have additional yard trimmings, you may put them in lawn-and-leaf paper bags or in reusable containers no larger than 34 gallons. You may also tie small branches into manageable bundles with string or twine and place them at the curb. Extra yard trimmings will be collected at no extra charge.
Paper is a very valuable resource as it is both recyclable and compostable. Clean paper products, such as unwanted mail, glossy and matte office paper and cardboard can be recycled into new paper products. Please place clean paper items into the blue recycling cart, so they can be recycled into new paper products.
Food-soiled paper, however, cannot be recycled into new products. Once paper has been soiled, it loses much of its resale and reuse value. Luckily, paper is also compostable. Please place food-soiled paper, such as paper plates, cups, napkins, tissues and paper towels into your green organics cart. These food-soiled paper products will be turned into nutrient-rich compost.
For example, you could place the bottom half of a greasy, food-soiled pizza box in the green organics cart and place the clean, residue-free top half in the blue recycling cart. Or, you could place the entire pizza box in the green organics cart. However, you should not place the entire pizza box in the blue recycling cart, as it has some food-residue remaining on it.
Be proactive! Try layering your food scraps and yard trimmings within your cart to absorb moisture; occasionally wash out your cart with mild soap and water; and sprinkle baking soda in the cart to help control odors.
You can wash the cart with mild soap and water, and sprinkle with baking soda to help reduce odors, if needed. To minimize odors in the future, layer food scraps with yard trimmings or food-soiled paper, such as pizza boxes. Wrapping food in paper products, such as paper bags, can help prevent sticking. We also encourage you to set out your cart every week to ensure it is emptied regularly.
Plastic bags are not biodegradable and cannot be composted. Bags that are labeled "compostable" or "biodegradable" break down at a significantly slower rate than the organic materials accepted in the Curbside Organics Collection Program, so we do not accept them at this time. If you choose to bag your food scraps, please use a paper option.
Yes. No matter how full your cart is, the City encourages you to set out your cart every week to help keep your cart clean. The 96-gallon organics cart helps accommodate large quantities of yard trimmings during high debris seasons and also can deter animals from getting into and/or knocking over the cart. But if you aren't able to fill the cart every week, don't worry. Crews will still collect your cart, regardless of the amount of organic materials inside.
Collecting food scraps in a reusable container in the kitchen is an easy way to save leftovers for your green cart. Coffee cans, plastic food storage containers or compost collectors can be used. If you choose to collect food scraps using paper products, you can place them directly in your cart! For example:
To reduce odors in your kitchen, try freezing food scraps like meat, poultry and fish in a reusable container until it's time to take scraps to your cart.
View instructional videos, downloadable resources and tips for cleaning your cart, or call 512-974-1945.
As a general rule, we ask that you set your carts 5 feet apart so our automated trucks can safely collect your materials. If you do not have enough space to set all three of your carts 5 feet apart, we ask that you set them out with as much space between carts as possible. Thank you for helping keep our drivers safe on the job.
We congratulate you for composting at home and encourage you to continue to do so. However, there are many items that we accept in the green organics cart that are not suitable for a residential compost pile. For example meats, poultry, seafood, dairy products and bones should not be composted at home. We encourage you to add these items to your green cart each week!
No. Fats, oils and greases are not acceptable materials for composting. However, greasy foods and food-soiled papers can be placed in your cart. You can recycle cooking fats, oil and greases at the Household Hazardous Waste Facility. Visit http://austintexas.gov/hhw for more information.
At this time, Austin Resource Recovery only offers a 96-gallon organics cart. We will reevaluate the cart size options based on customer feedback.

Over the last few months, we've spotted a trend in personal navigation. It's returning to its roots, only stronger. The standalone sat-nav made the technology dependable enough for the consumer mainstream, something personal navigational devices (PDAs) never were. But smartphones are now becoming ubiquitous and reliable, and with so much computing power - plus a built-in GPS receiver - already in your pocket, it makes sense that interest is returning to the software add-on. Now this feature has become a selling point for the phones themselves, with Garmin even releasing a hybrid sat-nav phone, the M10. But a wide range of Nokia phones already offer a capable alternative in the shape of Ovi Maps. Is this a reason to eschew the temptations of Apple's iPhone or Google's Android?
Obtaining Ovi Maps depends on which Nokia phone you own. A few brand-new models come supplied with it pre-installed, plus a free in-car screen mount, and even a power adapter in some cases. The N97, N97 mini, X6, and 6710 Navigator may all include the full package, for example. The 5800 XpressMusic and Navigation Edition, 5230, E52 and E72 just have the screen mount. But lots of other models (or versions of the above handsets purchased before Ovi Maps was bundled) support it too. Some require a PC to download and set the software up, and if your phone has a firmware version prior to the 20 series you will need to upgrade via a desktop system anyway.
If your phone has software that is 20 series or greater, however, you can install Ovi Maps over the air via the Software Update under Applications. You may not even need to do this as phones with software 21.1 series firmware may already have the latest version installed. However, it's worth checking, as the 3.04 version available at the time of writing added some important new features, including Wi-Fi positioning, a faster UI, and the addition of Qype information into the Points of Interest (POI) database. So you get user reviews as well as the general location of key POIs. Version 3.04 was not included with the latest phone firmware at the time of writing, only 3.03.
The satnav/turn by turn guidance feature is NOT free.
It is only free for phones bought after a certain time, (can't remember when) but my 6220 Classic came with what was then known as "nokia maps" pre-installed on it. It had a voucher for 3 months free turn by turn satnav, but has expired, and now, despite updating to the latest version of Ovi maps, it demands I pay a subscription fee to enable the satnav feature, which I am disappointed by.
Ovi Maps is a fantastic freebie, and I particularly like the downloadable maps: For one thing, it's just strangely satisfying to run around with the maps for all of Europe in my pocket. And of course, it does make using the device abroad very affordable. A-GPS leads to roaming charges, but we're talking about kilobytes and consequently Cents, not Euros. For the anal-retentive, A-GPS can be disabled leaving you with a completely free but more sluggish satnav.
Of course, Nokia wouldn't be Nokia if they didn't severely hamstring an offer that looks great on paper with their UI magic. For instance, try looking up a route which does not start at your current position. It's possible, but it's really well hidden. And if you do manage that, you'll find that the result is presented in an entirely unhelpful manner, leaving you to skip through the computed route in single steps with free scrolling in the map disabled. FWIW, I don't know if any of the other satnavs is better in this specific regard. Small things like that abound; if a street name is too long for the display it gets abbreviated with "...". Rotate the screen, and there's twice as much room for the name, only it's not used. One reason for those problems is probably the breadth of devices that Ovi is supposed to be available for: everything from relatively small, slow screen cell phones to faster (or not), larger touchscreen smartphones.
BTW: The standard semi-3D satnav view is just one of several useful perspectives available. During navigation, you can swipe left and right to switch between them. There's a 2D overhead view, a non-graphic view with a larger icon and an overview mode. In some but possibly not all modes, swiping up and down skips forward to upcoming route points. As far as I know, this feature isn't hinted at anywhere in the interface, I stumpled on it by chance, more impatient people may have more luck with the manual.
Apologies for going O/T, but what's up with the RSS feed these days? This (and every other story) are appearing twice in my RSS feed, at different times.
I use OVI maps constantly on an E72 in my country (Malta), and it works fabulously. It's fast at acquiring GPS lock, responsive, and with excellent voice guidance. It doesn't get me right in front of the destination point (i.e. the actual door number), but always manages to find the street I'm looking for. That's more than I can say for the Garmin Mobile XT application I used prior to OVI maps, for which I'd paid a premium just for the software and map, only to see updates and support being discontinued. The digital compass support on my E72 is another big plus when walking through the narrow intertwined streets of some old cities in my country.
The Nokia navigation software is excellent to use. Sometimes takes a while to find a satellite and occasionally goes crazy and tries to make you do things like U-turn when you're not allowed to or tell you you've arrived at a destination, when you're actually in the wrong street, parallel to your destination.
This would have been a major selling point for Nokia, but I've found Google Navigation to be just as promising and not hampered to the handset.
There is also the ongoing issue that Nokia have failed to provide the full functionality on the N900 - there is no certainity that the full functionality will be available on the N9 (or whatever will run Meego).
A small niggle, it doesn't seem to offer speed, oops! "safety" camera info.
That particular location view of Tower Bridge pulls in millions of quids utilising a needless 20mph limit using average speed technology.
I'm not bitter, , , much.
Hope it's better on other Nokia models, but I used it on a N900 and it was dreadful, both in terms of functionality and speed.
I find it a bit surprising that most of you seem to fail to make distinction between software and hardware: locking on your position is certainly a question of quality of the GPS receiver, not Ovi Maps itself, and will differ from model to model.
@Digital Fury. The N900 Maps software is something completely different to this. I'd love for it be on the N900. I almost bought the Sygic one, but got a free Garmin with my screwfix order. Which isn't that good. Nokia did have Satnav software for Maemo on the old N800, which was fantastic, so it's a bit odd that they haven't ported it to Maemo 5.
@ theDman - i saw the same thing on a Nokia N95 8GB - turned out it just needed a complete reload of ALL maps and associated features once you had updated to the latest version of Ovi maps.. Give that a go and lets us know - Nokia claim it is completely free (once available for that device) on all compatible devices that have ever supported Nokia Maps or Ovi Maps..
@digital fury
I have used Nokia maps on other Nokia's and the N900. Million of miles apart. On the n900 it's still feels like Alpha stage not even Beta.
I use this on my X6. It's one of the few apps that's actually useful - not that that's unique to Nokia as most apps, regardless of platform, are pointless.
It's free, works offline (great when you're abroad) and pretty up to date. As for speed cameras, it picks up the ones on the M9 and the A1 near Edinburgh. Also you can use your own voice as well as the pre-sets - I have Surfer Dude just now.
"Speed camera ahead, Dude! Slow down or say cheese!".
been using Nokia maps for about 3 years now, previous incarnation on a navigator phone, now on a N97 mini,. Superb, never had a problem, and i have used both phones abroad on a motorbike. Yes there may be faults, but its free(relatively)and updates are on going, excellent, to be recommended
@Digital Fury & @AlmostDone. Unfortunately the version of Ovi Maps on the N900 is not at the same level as that available on the Symbian devices. Hopefully Nokia will port the Symbian version to QT and this will make it available on the N900.
I really needed to depend upon Ovi maps on my E52 the other day and it really let me down. I'm a fan of Nokia's free satnav software but for some reason every single time I typed in anything in the search box all it wanted to do was go online. Which was useless as I was in the back end of nowhere without any signal at all.
I had all the maps recently downloaded to the phone and the software was all up to date. I thought that one of the major advantages of having maps on the phone was so you could look up destinations by name without a data connection? It also refused to accept UK postcodes as a destination unless it could get online. The GPS receiver had a clear strong signal and new my location so I have no idea why it was so useless.
Back to the old TomTom Go!
@ lifethroughalens:
how wierd? mine does full UK postcodes when offline, mine's not a E52 though, though I can't see why that would make any difference :S
Has been working great for me in off-line mode on the E71, 5800, N97 and the N8. On the 5800 I've found that I needed to have the SIM in for it to get a position fix.
Ovi needs work, ALOT of work, it has to be the worst menu system i have ever dealt with, to a degree that i handed back the nokia work phone and got a HTC with android instead!.
@ Jay - I don't know what's up with my E52. Every time I put anything in the search bar of the Ovi Maps program all it does is immediately go to 'Searching online'. And if I'm not online then I don't get any results at all. Weird, wasn't that way on my E90.
For a few years I used Ovi maps on a Nokia 6300, which of course has no GPS (and I never thought buying a separate GPS dongle was worth it) - so does only as an electronic city map. I only used this travelling on business in Asia (where my BlackBerry is perfect for email but roaming charges are just too much for heavy data like map downloads) and it worked well on pre-downloaded maps of the cities I was visiting. I usually juggle 6 or 7 Asian SIM cards on these trips for local calls.
Last week I saw that Carphonewarehouse was selling the Nokia 5230 Nav for £69 (effectively unlocked of course being from that store). It's a great phone for the price (except the screen is truly awful in sunlight) and gives me a fuller load of Ovi maps and navigation than possible with the 6300. Testing here in UK I am impressed and it's hard to see how it fares better than my TomTom. I will try it out in Shanghai next week, with local SIM card and see how it performs.
Well done Nokia for providing such a good value-add product for free.

Great news - looking forward to the OLPF upgrade and ADD.
Jarred - any update on Dragon Color....?
Thanks for the update Jarred, I'm always one to shoot at the lowest compression possible so ADD will be a great addition to the already spectacular images.
we all know there is a shitload of data packed into an r3d.
What just happened is what has always happened and will continue to happen: The pixel fairies just found another way to extract more from the container.
This, my friends, bodes very well for the future of the R3D file format!
I also can't help but ask: New Redcode compression scheme under Dragon uses new algorithms? My guess is yes - no way it does not.
Hmm, I'm coming from the VFX part of the planet and in our neck of the woods we usually talk about "how many minutes per frame" the render will take. I usually yell at the guys if they pump up the quality so the renders takes more than 30 min / frame for their 3D work.... So if it's about seconds I think the ADD stuff will be pretty much common practice. LOL.
But to speed things up maybe you should develop a little network render thing for ADD in RCXP, just let a que manager spread out the clips to render on all machines in house or such.
Thank you for the update and the additional news. Very much appreciated. :o)
OK. This post totally pushed me over the edge. Now I just can't wait to receive the email for a DRAGON upgrade. Just can't. But I will. Patiently. Keep pushing, RED.
