27 July 2010
Caerphilly County Borough Council is working with renewable energy developer Partnerships for Renewables, to investigate the potential of building two wind turbines on land designated for a sustainable business park at Oakdale, Caerphilly.
Councillor Ron Davies, Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Countryside said, "The council has an ambitious sustainable regeneration strategy in place and we are committed to the concept of 'Living Better, Using Less.' Investigating wind energy is a vital part of our future energy mix and we are proud to have the opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to meeting renewable energy targets and promoting sustainability."
"We announced our intention to investigate wind energy potential in the area in September 2009 and we are pleased that this project is progressing well with our new partners. We are obviously keen to involve local residents in the process so consultation will form a key part at every stage of the development. Both Caerphilly County Borough Council and Partnerships for Renewables are committed to open and honest engagement and we look forward to working with the community to deliver these exciting proposals."
Tony Duffin, Regional Manager at Partnerships for Renewables commented: "We are still at the early stages of investigating the site at Oakdale Business Park, but initial studies suggest it could be suitable for up to two wind turbines with a generating capacity of 2.5 megawatts each. This could generate around 11 gigawatt hours (GWh) of green electricity every year, enough to power 2,400 homes*."
Mr Duffin continues: "We expect to submit a planning application for a monitoring mast to gather wind speed data in the next two weeks. If all our ongoing studies prove positive and the decision is taken to progress with a development at the site we would expect to be ready to submit a planning application in March 2011 at the earliest."
As part of the development process the possibility of feeding electricity directly to local businesses based at the business park is being explored. This would ensure that as well as contributing towards national targets, the turbines will benefit communities and businesses locally, by providing reduced price electricity.
Partnerships for Renewables will be inviting interest groups and other stakeholders to contribute towards the scoping report, which will be submitted shortly as part of the development process. This outlines the study methodologies we plan to adopt during the site assessment process and will be reviewed by statutory consultees who will suggest any changes they deem necessary to ensure that any future Environmental Impact Assessment considers all of the relevant site issues.
A public exhibition – to introduce the proposal and the project team to the community – will be held on September 8, 2010 from 2pm to 7pm at Harley's Lodge, Islwyn Road, Oakdale, Gwent, NP12 0LG.
For further information about the site and the types of environmental and technical investigations involved, please visit the Partnerships for Renewables website.
* Note: The environmental benefit figures are based on two 2.5 megawatt turbines, operating with a 25% capacity factor; average household electricity use of 4700kWh per annum; and the electricity generated displacing electricity generated from CCGT / average fuel mix - approx. 430gCO2/kWh.

Al McCoy: Dudley, Beasley showing improvement in new roles with Suns
The Phoenix Suns lack a marquee player on the roster, and instead have been forced to tinker with their lineup to generate offensive production.
The Suns boast an 11-18 record but an abysmal 2-11 mark away from US Airways Center. Alvin Gentry's squad will open a crucial three-game road trip Friday night in Indiana and will face a trio of difficult opponents in the Pacers, Timberwolves and Thunder over the coming days.
Suns play-by-play announcer Al McCoy told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Friday he thinks the team's young and inexperienced roster has had trouble finding confidence in a hostile environment.
"It's a young team, it's players that haven't played together until this year and of course the starting lineup just changed a couple weeks ago," McCoy said.
One player who has stepped it up as of late is Jared Dudley, who is coming off a career-high 36 point night against the Knicks Wednesday.
McCoy thinks Dudley has emerged as a team leader with the Suns, and he attributes that to the 27-year-old finding comfort in his new role.
"I think that moving Jared Dudley into the starting lineup in that small forward position, which is his natural position, has been a tremendous plus for the Suns," McCoy said.
Another positive change for Phoenix has been moving the beleaguered Michael Beasley to a bench role. McCoy is encouraged with what the Suns are getting from Beasley in that capacity.
"I think bringing him off the bench probably was an excellent move for coach Alvin Gentry for a couple reasons," McCoy stated. "He doesn't always have to play against the other starting forward but he's playing off the bench of the opposition and obviously in that scenario he can use his quickness, his ability to pass the ball, his ability to get it to the hoop so it looks like that could put him in a position to be more of a consistent contributor. They certainly could use him."
The Suns will continue to need steady production from a number of role players while the team keeps searching for that franchise player they can lean on and build around. In the meantime, McCoy said the Suns will have to work with what they have.
"The go-to guy scenario has been one that has been questioned all year," McCoy explained. "There aren't any superstars on this ballclub and so you have to kind of pick and choose who that individual might be that would take the last shot."

The Vision opto Line is an under-stable distance driver disc golf driver from the Swedish company Latitude 64. This disc is a great turn-over disc for hard-throwing players, holding an anhyzer for a long time with excellent glide. For beginning players, or those with less arm speed, this disc is a straight-flyer, or will provide a nice "S" flight pattern. This disc is also a great roller for players looking for a long roller driver. The Opto line plastic is similar to Innova Champion plastic but a little more added grip. Opto Line is bright and semi transparent in many colors, an awesome choice for grip, durability, and easy to locate for when those tree's jump out and knock your disc down a hill and in the woods.

Gateway MAP informs the public about the Social Host Bill
Special to The Herald
Maybe the third time will be the charm in getting a law passed that will make adults directly responsible if underage drinking is discovered on their property or in their home.
The Social Host Bill being introduced in the Legislature this spring will try to stop youth access to alcohol and pass the consequences related to underage drinking to any adult who allows such acts.
The Social Host Bill holds adults liable for knowingly permitting underage drinking parties on their property. The penalty is a misdemeanor with a maximum fine of $1,000 and or/ jail time.

text: From Dunlop to Dunlop, just about every aspect of this '08 Cross Bones has been modified to stand out amongst any of its bone-stock brethren it may come across. Now when you see "modified" most of you might conjure up images of some leathered and weathered grease monkey with a cutting torch, tig welder, mallet, and shot bag going to town on this ride. But actually this bike has been modified in a rather manageable manner for even the most trepidacious wrench turner-it's all bolt-on. Killing two birds with one stone, Roland Sands of Roland Sands Design (RSD) utilized this bike to fulfill the wants of his latest customer, but also to showcase some of his company's newest parts such as its new gas cap line, Turbine Air Cleaner, Contrast Cut Rocker box, Cam and Tranny covers, and most importantly the new Black Ops finish. You might not be able to reinvent the wheel, but when it comes to giving the blacked-out look a new spin, Roland has achieved just that with Black Ops. We threw a few questions Roland's way to get his take on a little bit of everything. HB: For those who don't know, please give a brief overview of your background in motorcycles and design. RS: I was born a poor white child in Compton, California, in 1974. My parents were two overachieving hippy bikers with a dream and some good ideas. Together they started Performance Machine. I rode my first bike at 5-years-old and promptly broke my arm. I built my first custom, a Sportster flat tracker, when I was 16. I started road racing when I was 19, and about that same time I started designing motorcycle products. I won the AMA 250 GP National Championship in 1998. I built my first ground-up custom in 2002 and retired from racing after breaking 30 or so bones and became the VP of design at PM. I started my own brand, RSD, in 2005 and have been designing the majority of the product that comes from PM and RSD, as well as building more than 80 bikes for a diverse group of customers ranging from Ducati to Mickey Rourke. HB: What is the story behind this bike? Why was it built? For a customer? RS: This bike was built for a hard-riding guy named Aaron Presher. He wanted a low blacked-out bike. This was the perfect bike for our newest finish, Black Ops. Sucker. The new Turbine Air Cleaner has also been given the Black Ops treatment. HB: What exactly is the Black Ops finish? How does it compare in manufacturing (time, process, material) to Contrast Cut? RS: We introduced Contrast Cut in 2003 and it's had a huge impact on the industry. Nearly every manufacturer out there now has its version of it, so it was time for something new. It's a proprietary finish and we're not going to reveal the process but, it's a very difficult finish to manufacture and it looks amazing. Gloss black and satin black with sort of a light texture for a rugged appeal. It's utilitarian while also being high class and very detailed. We like it. HB: When you design a new product, how does the process begin. Where do you get inspiration from? RS: Inspiration comes from all around. I look towards other industries, architecture, furniture, as well as art and general product design for ideas. There's so much inspiration out there, it's more about filtering out all the bullshit and maintaining what's core and bitchin' rather than hype. HB: When a customer asks you to build him a bike, does he just let you do your thing or does he usually have specific requests? RS: People come to us because they want something that works as good as it looks and that's what we supply. Customers mainly trust us on the core designs, but everyone wants to put their own style, color, and finish ideas together so that's what we do. We're down with crazy ideas as long as they don't look gaudy or fucked. We won't let that happen. 1 | 2 | 3 | » | View Full Article By Eric Ellis, Roland Sands Enjoyed this Post?

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images? |
On this album, he can move listeners to tears lines as simple as "We're gonna miss you" and "Who do you think you're fooling?"; he can turn "I'd like to buy you the world's biggest bathtub" into one of the greatest love lyrics of all time. Those expecting Greg's usual sharply (sometimes painfully) perceptive commentary on life will not be disappointed; even the once-rejected bonus tracks are 5-star performances.
And the music, pre-Dream Cafe though it may be, is the perfect accompaniment. With warm, friendly-sounding guitars, harmonicas, accordians, and mandolins all getting in on the action, it sounds like a group of friends getting together on someone's back porch in Iowa to kick out those folky, folky jams. (Which, apart from the back porch in Iowa part, it probably was).
I know three people who got married to tunes on this CD - isn't that enough recommendation for you?
If you already have Poet Game and Dream Cafe, then you'll want this one too. If not start by them and then decide if you want more Greg Brown cd, I think you will.

I'm currently using my old development laptop which is powerful enough, but it's screen is so dim outside it's completely useless without a shroud or inside a car behind a shaded wall.
I'm thinking of buying a laptop specifically for running the mission planner during missions, but none of the shops are allowing me to take the laptop outside to check :)
I came across Samsung's NC215 Solar Powered Notebook. Very affordable and the solar panels are a bonus, but I'm assuming it's screen would cope well with outside.
What do you guys use? I'm currently frustrated with my config...
andrew tridge posted a while back about a daylight readable screen, ie cut the back cover of the laptop out.
I splashed out on a EP121 Windows 7 Slate.
It comes with a leather folio case that doubles as a stand, but more importantly a sun shade!
I use it for ALL my computing, FPV video editing, Mission Planner, Arduino 023 and replying to forum posts ;o)
Excuse the poor photo, its a frame from the end of a video session. I use my Android phone to provide a mobile WIFI hot spot for Mission Planner maps, software updates and forum searches if I need help with something.
The touch screen can be fiddly for some activities such as changing the zoom level for maps so I use a wireless mini keyboard.
Its all cost a fortune, but does the job perfectly. One last thing, battery life on the EP121 is only a couple of hours so I have a 12 volt to 19 volt inverter (cheap in-car laptop charger in a blister pack from the local petrol station) in the case running off a 3S lipo to top up the charge if need be.
Wow, impressive setup. Is the eee slate clearly visible outside? I have the eee pad, and it's very poor outside.
I've only had a few outdoor sessions with my setup and have always been able to see the screen. BUT the weather here is often pretty dull so not tried it in very bright sunlight yet.
I do expect to make use of the hood as shown in the photo to shade the screen once we get some sun back!
Its a glossy screen which isn't ideal in theory but doesn't seem to be a problem. The Gorilla Glass is very strong and has a lovely feel and very responsive to touch. Mission Planner runs on it very well and looks great.
I had originally planned to plug in my video goggles as an external screen and have the MP artificial horizon with live video background displayed on them. I'll wait and see what the MinimOSD looks like first I think.
Ah I see.
I'm thinking of trying to ignore the gaffaws and go for a black shroud over my head while reading the screen, or get goggles.
I'm thinking goggles :)
Where do you get info about MinimOSD ?
The only info for the MinimOSD is this blog post. I'm looking forward to it as it will complete my FPV platform but getting a little impatient now :o)
Could REALLY do with an update from DIYD!

Highland Park 12, 43% ABV Question
Stopped by a local small liquor store here in southeast Florida where I spotted this boxed bottle at a pretty fair price. I'm curious as to the age of this bottle since HP now bottles the 12 yo at 40%. So I'd like to at least know what year did HP last issue the 12 yo at 43%.
I called in the BIG guns for this one. I bought a bottle myself recently and confirmed that it was 43%, but the Highland Park web site lists the 12yr at 40%. So we obviously needed to find out what the deal was with the discrepancy.
I asked Mark Gillespie of the WhiskyCast to look into it for us. Gerry Tosh, Highland Park's Global Marketing Manager clarified that the 12 and 15yr are 40% ABV everywhere in the world except for the USA where they are 43% because of old import laws restricting imports of spirits below 43%. He said that they don't have plans to change the ABV from 43% in the US market. Thanks to Mark and Gerry! Cheers!

Nope, the vast majority of spirits are 40%.
I just finished an HP 12 that was 40%. I bought it in a store here in Oklahoma. Perhaps they were referring to your state only. In my adventures interested in whisky I have found that many states ( like mine ) have incredibly awkward laws and tax codes related to alcohol. In my own state I even found 3 or 4 different governmental divisions/departments that said different things about the same issue, directly confronting each other. This makes it incredibly difficult for a consumer to know what they should and shouldn't be doing regarding the details of consuming alcohol. At the same time, I understand it because I work for the government. Each office has so much to deal with and the employees are discouraged from having the ambition to better the department, so everyone ends up stuck maintaining some misinformed bureaucrat's status quo. My guess is that someone did tell whoever imports HP that there was some old law because either there actually is in that state, or because they thought there is. I've noticed that each whisky maker ships into a specific state for all their brands, or is a group of makers that ship into that single location. I have no idea the reason, but those state laws could also affect the process as well, if they are **** locally in that area. To avoid this, many companies (all products) will ship directly in and directly out, so that it's just import work. Then the local market's distributors get ahold of the product like everyone else so it's business as usual and the importer hasn't had to stop and pay truck loads of taxes on every shipment. |
That's interesting as Highland Park's Global Marketing Manager himself said that they only export the 43% 12 and 15yr to the USA. I would think he would know, he's been with them for 11 years.
It makes me wonder where this (these) 40% ABV bottle(s) came from. Perhaps they were supposed to be for Canada or travel retail? And yes, I'm aware that many spirits are 40% now. I'm only passing on what Gerry Tosh said regarding outdated import restrictions and why they made the 12 and 15 in a different %ABV for the US market. They've been around a long time. Do you have any photos of a 40% ABV bottle purchased in the USA? With that I could probably get you some answers. Was it the old round bottle or the newer Bulleit bourbon like oval bottle? It seems we have a mystery from Orkney. Cheers.

Indeed, the reason I wrote the initial post is that I've seen the HP 12 at 40% everywhere including all the Total Wine & Liquors that I've been able to visit here in southeast Florida. So this one 43% bottle that I spotted at a small liquor store, with a somewhat differently designed box BTW, struck me as unusual.
