Joe Linker: Waiting for Marjane
I was roaming around Eastside industrial with my notebook, waiting for Lily to get off work, when a sudden squall forced me into a crowded, steamy coffee joint. And who should be sitting at the window drawing in her notebook but my old friend Daisy.
We had been part-timers teaching at the now defunct Failing school and played on the co-ed slow-pitch softball team. Part-time meant we taught summer terms, too, while the full-timers went on vacation. But that was fine because she was an artist and I was a poet. After a few years the scene went to seed and we drifted off and found real jobs.
I got a coffee and sat down with Daisy. She had a book by the Iranian writer Marjane Satrapi (who now lives in Paris). "It's a comic book," I said, picking it up and thumbing through it. "Sort of," Daisy said, smiling.

And hearts beating for the unknown.
Writing the North African Experience
Centre for African Poetry: Let us begin by inviting you to humour our ignorance. The title of your 2011 novel is translated Book of the Sultan's Seal, but we wonder which of the two names we have seen for it in Arabic is more accurate – khutbat al-kitab, or Kitab at Tughra?
Rakha: Kitab at Tughra is the title. Khutbat al-kitab means, literally, "Address of the book"; it's a formulaic canonical phrase for "introduction" or "prologue", which here and in old Arabic books doubles as a kind of table of contents; on the surface the novel is modelled on a medieval historical text. It may be worth mentioning in passing that the original sense of kitab, which is the Arabic word for "book", means simply "letter" or "epistle": every canonical book is addressed to a patron or a friend, and that's an idea that is particularly meaningful to me.
iPhone aBiography
Sleep-deprivation is like being high. I know because I was high for a long time, then I started sleeping irregularly. It's supposed to have something to do with lack of sugar in the brain, which is also the theory of what LSD does to consciousness. Things grow fluid and dreamlike, but at the same time there is a paranoid awareness of motion and a heaviness in the heart. Color and sound become a lot sharper, and time feels totally irrelevant. Normal speed is fast but fast can pass for normal. A moment lasts for days, days can fit in a moment. Talking and laughing are far more involving, especially laughing. The grotesque animal implicit in each person comes out, sometimes messing up the conversation. And then it's as if you have no body. As in the best music, an uncanny lightness balances the overriding melancholy. There is joy in flying when you don't need to move. All through this, what's more, every passing emotion turns into an epic experience.
The Strange Case of the Novelist from Egypt
About mid-way through his Nobel Prize lecture, read by Mohamed Salmawy at the Swedish Academy in 1988, the acknowledged father of the Arabic novel Naguib Mahfouz (1911-2006) made the point that Europeans "may be wondering: This man coming from the third world, how did he find the peace of mind to write stories?" It's a remark that has remained with me, not so much because it implies, absurdly, that no one from a third-world country is supposed to have either peace or mind enough for literature—it particularly annoys me when, addressing his European audience, Mahfouz goes on to say they're "perfectly right" to be posing that question—but because this presumption of deprivation or lack, of writing being something over and above ordinary living and working, seems in a way to underlie the Egyptian novelist's collective self-image. And, especially now that Egypt is barely surviving institutional collapse and civil conflict—something that despite war, regime change, and the turn of the millennium, never happened during the 94 years of Mahfouz's life—as a person who lives in Cairo and writes novels in Arabic, it is an idea I am somehow expected to have about myself.

Kevin Mitnick Is Now Selling Zero-Day Exploits
Kevin Mitnick Is Now Selling Zero-Day Exploits
As a young man, Kevin Mitnick became the world's most notorious black hat hacker, breaking into the networks of companies like IBM, Nokia, Motorola, and other targets. After a stint in prison, he reinvented himself as a white hat hacker, selling his skills as a penetration tester and security consultant.
With his latest business venture, Mitnick has switched hats again: This time to an ambiguous shade of gray.
Late last week, Mitnick revealed a new branch of his security consultancy business he calls Mitnick's Absolute Zero Day Exploit Exchange. Since its quiet inception six months ago, he says the service has offered to sell corporate and government clients high-end "zero-day" exploits, hacking tools that take advantage of secret bugs in software for which no patch yet exists. Mitnick says he's offering exploits developed both by his own in-house researchers and by outside hackers, guaranteed to be exclusive and priced at no less than $100,000 each, including his own fee.
And what will his clients do with those exploits? "When we have a client that wants a zero-day vulnerability for whatever reason, we don't ask, and in fact they wouldn't tell us," Mitnick tells WIRED in an interview. "Researchers find them, they sell them to us for X, we sell them to clients for Y and make the margin in between."
Mitnick declined to name any of his customers, and wouldn't say how many, if any, exploits his exchange has brokered so far. But the website he launched to reveal the project last week offers to use his company's "unique positioning among security researchers and the hacker community" to connect exploit developers with "discerning government and corporate buyers."

Linux bash exploit discovered
"Akamai has validated the existence of the vulnerability in bash, and confirmed its presence in bash for an extended period of time. We have also verified that this vulnerability is exposed in ssh---but only to authenticated sessions. Web applications like cgi-scripts may be vulnerable based on a number of factors; including calling other applications through a shell, or evaluating sections of code through a shell.
There are several functional mitigations for this vulnerability: upgrading to a new version of bash, replacing bash with an alternate shell, limiting access to vulnerable services, or filtering inputs to vulnerable services. Akamai has created a WAF rule to filter this exploit; see "For Web Applications" below for details."

Huge awards for developing open source educational self-teaching software
This is a really intriguing project to award large monetary prizes for developing open source educational self-teaching software:
The United Nations estimates 58 million children from ages 6 to 11 don't attend school, a number that has remained stubbornly stagnant since the middle of the last decade.
One nonprofit believes it has the solution: Create software so exciting to use that kids will want to teach themselves.
X-Prize is challenging entrepreneurs to develop open-source software that children can use to acquire basic literacy and arithmetic skills on their own.

MakeUseOf: Understanding How Open Source Software Developers Make Money
Nothing groundbreaking but may be informative to some:
Understanding How Open Source Software Developers Make Money
"There are many myths about open source software (OSS) and perhaps the most common is this: open source and profit are mutually exclusive...The truth is: many OSS developers and projects do generate revenue. Some earn just enough money to survive while others produce so much money that they put proprietary alternatives to shame. How's that for irony?"

SanDisk SD memory card 'largest ever'
Memory specialist SanDisk has created an SD card with 512 gigabytes (GB) of storage space - the highest capacity ever released.
The card, which is the size of a postage stamp, will go on sale for $800 (£490).
The launch comes a decade after the firm released a 512-megabyte (MB) SD card with one-thousandth of the space.

Facebook experiments with vanishing posts
Facebook is following in the footsteps of messaging app Snapchat by testing a feature that allows users to schedule the automatic deletion of their posts.
The social network said the option, which offers expiration settings ranging from one hour to seven days, was "a small pilot" for its iOS app.
Facebook often tests new capabilities.
It faced criticism in June for one experiment that "manipulated" the content of nearly 700,000 users' news feeds, to gauge emotional responses.

Google buys firm behind spoon for Parkinson's patients
Google has bought a biotech company that has developed a spoon designed to make life easier for people with diseases such as Parkinson's.
It is part of its ambitious foray into health technology, spurred in part by the personal interest of co-founder Sergey Brin.
Last year, Google became the main investor in Calico, a firm dedicated to developing medicines to extend life.
Latest acquisition Lift Labs will join Google's research division Google X.
The spoon developed by Lift Labs is equipped with sensors that detect tremors and cancels them out by as much as 70%, according to the firm.
The technology it uses is similar to image stabilisation features in cameras that compensate for shaky hands when taking a photo.

In this Chinese city, phone addicts get their own sidewalk lane
Some places have lanes for bicycles, others for motorcycles, but there's a place in mainland China that boasts a different type of lane altogether: one for phone addicts glued to their screens. According to a Chinese publication, the cellphone lane above was spotted along a place called Foreigner Street in Chongqing city, one of the five major cities in the country. The sidewalk was most likely painted on for everyone's safety, because, hey, if there's distracted driving, there's also distracted walking, as perfectly demonstrated by the woman in this video. If the idea sounds familiar, it's because the National Geographic did something similar back in July as an experiment. The society stenciled "NO CELLPHONES" on one-half of a DC sidewalk and "CELLPHONES: WALK IN THIS LANE AT YOUR OWN RISK" on the other half. The result? Well, among other things, they found that the people actually glued to their phones didn't even notice the markings at all. Typical.

The Big Picture: NASA gets ready to build the 'next great rocket'
See the gargantuan structure above that dwarfs that line of puny humans at the bottom (bet you didn't even notice them at first glance, huh)? It's a welding tool -- the biggest one built for spacecraft, in fact, that's slated to help Boeing build the core stage of NASA's Space Launch System at the agency's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans. The structure's officially called the Vertical Assembly Center, and it stands 170 feet tall with a width that measures 78 feet: not exactly surprising, considering the SLS is a 200-foot-tall behemoth. It's but one of the many tools Boeing intends to use to build the core stage of NASA's "most powerful rocket ever" after the two organizations finalized their $2.8 billion deal in July. The core stage will house cryogenic liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen used to power the rocket's four engines, and building it brings the SLS much closer to the launch pad for deep space exploration.

eBay DROPS DEAD AGAIN - tat bazaar says sorry, scrambles to resurrect site
eBay went titsup earlier today, and the company is now attempting to bring its site back to life.
The online tat bazaar coughed to an unexplained technical blunder preventing an unknown number of its subscribers from accessing the site, which many buyers and sellers of used goods enjoy using in their spare time on the weekends.
eBay posted this miserable statement on its service page about 90 minutes ago:
We are aware that some users may experience problems when using the eBay Site. We are actively working on restoring the issue and apologize for any inconvenience caused.
But plenty of folk were still complaining that they were unable to access the site, at time of writing.

Software patents are crumbling thanks to the Supreme Court
Tim Lee has written a nice write up for recent legal progress in rolling back the software patent madness of recent years. It's good news for those of us who spend our time coding and don't want to get wrapped up in frivolous lawsuits designed to extort money.
Now a series of decisions from lower courts is starting to bring the ruling's practical consequences into focus. And the results have been ugly for fans of software patents. By my count there have been 11 court rulings on the patentability of software since the Supreme Court's decision — including six that were decided this month. Every single one of them has led to the patent being invalidated.

One Chance: A game you can only play once
Here's an interesting looking game called One Chance which only allows you to play it once.
One Chance is a game quite unlike any you have ever played online. It is about a scientist who created a pathogen that is inadvertantly wiping out all mankind on Earth. You then have six in-game days to decided how you will spend the rest of your life. Will you stay at the office and do all you can to find a cure? Will you finally step away from the office and spend some time with the family you have been neglecting? Or will the madness and impending doom jusr cause you to lose your mind?
What really sets One Chance apart is that you really only have One Chance to play it. The game picks up on your I.P and unless you have multiple computers with multiple I.P's, you really only do get one chance in One Chance, which is part of what makes it so spectacular.
(It actually just stores a cookie, so you can play it again if you clear your cookies or use Incognito/Private browsing mode.)
SigCheckGui: A Tool that scans and lists digitally signed files from a folder/disk
DC Member skwire, in responding to a request on our Coding Snacks request section, has written a beautiful GUI front end to the excellent SigCheck commandline utility by Mark Russinovich from Sysinternals.
The tool will recursively scan folders (or active processes) and produce a nice grid (sortable of course) of results, showing the digitial secure signatures of applications and DLLs.
In addition to being a useful security tool, it's a neat way to find out more information about the applications installed on your pc.

Test Ebola treatments to be rushed to West Africa
In an extraordinary move, the World Health Organization plans to rush experimental Ebola vaccines and drugs to workers and patients in West Africa in the coming weeks and months. The move reflects a sense of urgency to get the epidemic there under control.
First on the agenda is immediate use of "convalescent serum," an untested treatment that involves transfusion of blood from an Ebola survivor to a patient. Donors would first be tested for serious diseases such as HIV. Ebola survivors carry antibodies against the virus, but the value of a transfusion containing them is unknown.

Your favorite podcasts?
I have seen Marc Maron on tv a few times and have never been a fan, but a friend recently turned me on to his podcast around the time that Robin Williams died (he had a pretty heavy interview with Robin Williams).
He has now done more than 500 podcasts -- which are 30-60 minutes in length and are mostly just one on one interviews with someone in comedy or music business. I've been really impressed with them -- they are adult discussions, at times funny, sad, vulnerable, deep, etc.
Most of the podcasts are surprisingly deep and frank discussions with comedians, moving between discussions of personal struggles, work ethic, and the theory of comedy. Really fascinating stuff.
Highly recommended. What other podcasts do you guys listen to?

Let's have some weekend Science and Tech! (A bit of a roundup!)
As some of you may know, I used to do some Tech News here at DC, but as the days went on, time got a little more constrained and real life slowly took over. However...even though I can't promise a full time thing, what I can promise, is one for you right now!!
So...Here goes!
Windowless Planes Offer Passengers Spectacular Panoramic Views:
An international design agency has come up with an intriguing and innovative new aviation concept that has won them a prestigious award - windowless jets.
Technicon Design's idea is not to ruin your views while cruising through the air, but to enhance them. This would be achieved by filming the exterior environment and displaying it on inside surfaces throughout the cabin. Rather than being restricted to a small window, passengers would experience a spectacular panoramic views of the world. Of course, it would also be possible to display other things on the screen besides the sky, such as movies.
While this may sound gimmicky, removing windows has the added benefit of weight reduction and would also simplify plane construction. It would also allow greater flexibility when designing the interior of the plane.

Heart failure patients healthier after ear stimulation:
Heart failure patients could live healthier lives by having nerves in their ears stimulated with a portable Tens machine.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (Tens) machines are commonly used to alleviate back pain and are even used during labour. Now a team from the University of Leeds wants to adapt it to tackle health problems that are impacted by changes in the sympathetic nervous system, including heart disease and hypertension. The technique works by altering the signals that can make a heart beat too hard, by stimulating the vagus nerve.

In a paper published this month, the researchers describe how they very simply and very quickly seized control of an entire system of almost 100 intersections in an unnamed Michigan city from a single ingress point.

Giant Crack Appears In Earth In Mexico:
Video footage has emerged of a kilometre-long crack thought to have been triggered by an underground stream in northwest Mexico.
The eight-metre (26ft) deep trench opened up last week and severed Highway 26 between Hermosillo and the coast.
Captured by Hermosillo Desde El Cielo, the footage was shot by a drone flying along the length of the trench, which is up to five metres (16ft) across.

Mar 5, 2014Top notch comedy in my opinion. The prison setting is surprisingly fun (perhaps too fun considering it is prison) and Dax Shepard's character is an absolute blast. The way he interacts with Arnett, who is also excellent here, is shear fun. McBride also serves as a very funny and surprisingly likable character. I also like how the film never goes into some of the gross territory it could have. It's something I find very respectable There is one or two light issues I have with the plot, but overall I had a blast watching this. So if you're looking for a funny comedy and missed this one through the years, then I recommend you give it a shot. It's very funny and a lot of fun.… Full Review »

A garbage can dump mechanism is provided for attachment to the rear of a conventional garbage truck. The dump mechanism hydraulically lifts the garbage can from the ground through an arc to an inverted position to allow the garbage to flow by gravity from the can into the truck hopper. The garbage can is fitted with a pair of parallel rails for gripping by the dump mechanism. The dump mechanism has a fixed catch and a movable catch. After dumping, the dump mechanism rotates in a reverse direction, placing the emptied can on the ground so the cycle can begin anew.
1. In a garbage can hydraulic dump mechanism as affixed to the rear of a garbage truck, the dump mechanism having a pivotable can support with a fixed catch and a movable catch, the improved dump mechanism comprising:
a) a hydraulic assembly, said assembly comprising a hydraulic cylinder and a piston rod;
b) a handle, said handle positioned on said hydraulic assembly, said handle selectively extending said piston rod;
c) a trio of parallel elongated cylindrical rollers, said trio of rollers rigidly fixed relative to one another and having opposite ends, with
i) one of said trio of rollers joined to said can support;
ii) a second of said trio of rollers joined to said hydraulic assembly; and
iii) a third of said trio of rollers joined to said movable catch;
d) a resilient member, said resilient member affixed to said third roller to bias the movement of said movable catch; and
e) a pair of L-shaped brackets, said pair of brackets affixed at said opposite ends of said trio of parallel rollers for stabilizing the same;
whereby the extension of said hydraulic assembly pivots said can support to dump a garbage can while said movable catch is urged away from said fixed catch to secure the garbage can against the can support.
2. A pivotable garbage can dump mechanism comprising:
a can support, said can support defining a catch aperture;
a fixed catch, said fixed catch attached to said can support;
a movable catch, said movable catch positioned within said catch aperture for rotation through an arc;

a linkage;
a fourth roller, said fourth roller attached by said linkage to one of said trio of parallel rollers, said fourth roller affixed to said can support;
a pair of L-shaped brackets, said L-shaped brackets engaging said trio of parallel rollers at opposite ends thereof, said brackets for rigidly spacing apart said trio of parallel rollers;
a pair of coil springs, each of said coil springs attached to said movable catch for biasing the same, each of said coil springs attached to one of said trio of parallel rollers;
a hydraulic assembly, said hydraulic assembly comprising:
i) a control valve,
ii) a hydraulic line,
iii) a hydraulic cylinder, and
iv) a piston rod, said piston rod slidably positioned in said hydraulic cylinder,
said hydraulic line in fluid communication with said control valve and said hydraulic cylinder, said hydraulic assembly for driving the dump mechanism, said hydraulic assembly attached to one of said trio of parallel rollers, and another of said trio of parallel rollers affixed to said movable catch whereby said hydraulic assembly will extend to pivot said can support thereby causing said movable catch to rotate away from said fixed catch.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention herein pertains to dump mechanism and particularly to hydraulic dumping mechanisms as are affixed to garbage trucks for lifting and dumping garbage cans containing solid waste.
2. Description of the Prior Art and Objectives of the Invention
Solid waste collection and disposal for households has been simplified and made more efficient through the use of garbage trucks having hydraulic or other mechanisms which lift the can upwardly and dump it into the garbage truck. These devices eliminate much of the manual labor previously required. Special garbage cans adapted for mechanical lifting are usually supplied by the garbage collection service and are uniform in size and structure. Such garbage cans usually have wheels for easy movement by the homeowners and may have rings or rails to allow the dump mechanisms to grip them in a secure manner as they are hoisted for dumping.
One of the more popular dump mechanisms is affixed to the rear of garbage trucks and is hydraulically operated. Such dump mechanisms, include a planar can support having a fixed catch and a movable catch positioned within an aperture of the can support. One of the can rails is first manually manipulated within the fixed catch by the operator. Next, the hydraulic assembly is controlled, usually by a lever so the can support lifts and rotates the garbage can. During lifting the movable catch engages the second garbage can rail to secure the garbage can in its inverted position during dumping. As the can is lowered after dumping, by control of the hydraulic assembly, the movable catch releases the rail. Once the garbage can is returned to the pavement, it is manually removed from the fixed catch and another can is positioned against the can support and in engagement with the fixed catch whereby the dumping cycle repeated. Such conventional dump mechanisms usually have scissor arms or assemblies which constantly wear with use and can quickly develop uneven movements. Such uneven movements place additional stress on the joints and bearing surfaces of the dump mechanism, causing greater friction increases and more wear, ultimately resulting in failure. It is not unusual for such conventional dump mechanisms to fail in about one year of service.
With the disadvantages and problems associated with prior art garbage can dump mechanisms, the present invention was conceived and one of its objectives is to provide an improved hydraulic garbage can dump mechanism which can be retrofitted to standard garbage trucks.
It is another objective of the present invention to provide a garbage can dump mechanism which will smoothly and evenly lift and rotate a garbage can during dumping without excess wear on the mechanism parts.
It is still another objective of the present invention to provide a garbage can dump mechanism which includes a trio of parallel rollers which are rigidly affixed relative to one another.
It is yet another objective of the present invention to provide an L-shaped bracket positioned at each end of the trio of parallel rollers to maintain their spatial alignment and to prevent undue wear during operation.
It is yet another objective of the present invention to provide a dump mechanism which can be built at a relatively low cost and which will remain trouble-free for a number of years under adverse use conditions.
Various other objectives and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art as a more detailed description is set forth below.
The aforesaid and other objectives are realized by providing a hydraulically operated dump mechanism on the rear of a conventional solid waste garbage truck. The dump mechanism includes a planar can support having both a fixed and a biased movable catch for engaging conventional rails of a garbage can. With the garbage can manually positioned on the fixed catch, the hydraulic assembly is manually operated causing the can support to pivot in an arcuate manner to dump the solid waste into the truck hopper. After dumping, by again manually operating the hydraulic assembly, the can support is pivoted in a reverse direction to lower the emptied garbage can to the pavement below where the empty can is removed. During the lifting motion the pivotable catch is urged by coil spring members into engagement with a second rail on the garbage can and as the can is lowered, the movable catch is likewise withdrawn from the second rail to allow the can to be quickly and easily removed from the can support. The can support is attached to a trio of spatially fixed parallel rollers which are maintained in position by a pair of L-shaped brackets at opposite ends thereof. By fixing the rollers relative one to another, the stress on the dump mechanism is lessened, allowing the device to have a longer life and to operate more smoothly than conventional mechanisms.
FIG. 1 illustrates the preferred form of the dump mechanism attached to the rear of a garbage truck with the fixed catch engaging the top rail of the garbage can;
FIG. 2 demonstrates the dump mechanism of FIG. 1 but pivoted approximately 100� to begin the dumping action;
FIG. 3 illustrates an enlarged view of the dump mechanism as seen in FIG. 1, but removed from the garbage truck;
FIG. 4 pictures the dump mechanism enlarged as shown in FIG. 3 but pivoted approximately 100� as in FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 features the dump mechanism of FIG. 4 along lines 5--5;
FIG. 6 shows a conventional dump mechanism removed from the garbage truck with the fragmented in an upright position;
FIG. 7 is another view of the conventional dump mechanism as shown in FIG. 6 but with the mechanism rotated approximately 100�, and
FIG. 8 is front elevational view of the conventional dump mechanism of FIG. 7 seen along lines 8--8 therein.
For a better understanding of the invention and its use, turning now to the drawings, the preferred form of garbage can dump mechanism 10 is shown in FIGS. 1-5. In FIG. 1, a conventional garbage truck 11 for receiving the contents of garbage can 12 is pictured with fixed catch 13 positioned on garbage can rail 14 (seen enlarged in FIG. 3). Fixed catch 13 is rigidly mounted such as by welding to garbage can support 15 which is pivotally attached to roller 18 to planar mounting member 19. Mounting member 19 is attached to truck 11 such as by welding.
With garbage can 12 so positioned as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, handle 25 of hydraulic assembly 26 is activated causing hydraulic cylinder 29 to extend rod 30 upwardly. As shown, piston rod 30 is connected to roller sleeve 31 (FIGS. 3 and 4) which contains roller 33. Thus, as piston rod 30 extends, roller 33 is forced upwardly to thereby raise can support 15 causing it to pivot in an arcuate clockwise direction towards garbage truck 11 as shown in FIG. 2. Hydraulic assembly 26 includes control valve 24 connected to hydraulic lines 22 and 23 which are also connected to hydraulic cylinder 29.
In FIG. 2, garbage can 12 has been lifted and pivoted in a clockwise direction for dumping the contents into garbage truck hopper 40 therebelow as conventional. As garbage can support 15 moves in a clockwise arc, movable catch 16 is urged in a counter-clockwise direction from its rest position as shown in FIG. 3, into engagement with garbage can rail 17 as shown in FIG. 4. Thus, garbage can 12 is securely held during horizontal and inverted positions while being dumped. Movable catch 16 is biased by springs 20, 20' as seen in FIG. 5 within catch aperture 21 of can support 15. As shown in FIG. 1, movable catch 16 is substantially concealed within can support 15 when resilient coil springs 20, 20' are at rest. However, as dump mechanism 10 begins its arcuate dumping path, by operation of hydraulic assembly 26, coil springs 20, 20' become biased, causing movable catch 16 to tightly engage rail 17. Spring members 20, 20' are joined at the opposite ends of roller 34, as seen in FIGS. 4 and 5. Garbage can support 15 is joined to roller 35 and linkage 36 as seen in FIG. 4. Roller 37 is rigidly affixed as by welding to can support 15.
As further shown in FIGS. 1-5, the parallel trio of rollers 33, 34 and 35 are spatially fixed relative to each other by opposing L-shaped brackets 39, 39' as clearly shown in FIG. 5. First roller 33, second roller 34 and third roller 35 are contained within sleeves for protection and durability. L-shaped brackets 39, 39' prevent excess roller wear by tandem roller movement as can support 15 is repeatedly pivoted upwardly and downwardly during dumping operations.
In FIGS. 6 through 8, conventional garbage can dump mechanism 60 is shown whereby parallel rollers 50, 51 and 52 are not in a fixed, rigid spatial alignment but instead scissor arms 54, 54' and 55, 55' pivot respectively relative one to another. This pivoting action between arm pairs (54, 55 and 54', 55') causes uneven wear which makes dump mechanism 60 develop uneven, noisy, jerky motions in a relatively short period of use. After sufficient wear, dump mechanism 60 must be replaced in about a year or less.
The illustrations and examples provided herein are for explanatory purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of the appended claims.

Clennon, Stiehm spar over Conversations with the CouncilPublished 6:22am Tuesday, September 17, 2013
Old arguments blossomed anew at the Austin City Council meeting Monday night as Austin Mayor Tom Stiehm and former Austin City Council Member Marian Clennon grew heated more than once over city issues.
Stiehm, Clennon and Austin Housing and Redevelopment Authority Commissioner Marilyn Prenosil argued at one point over the city's decision to switch its Conversations with the Council meetings to before public meetings. Stiehm and Clennon both left the city's conference room, where the meeting took place, at various points out of frustration.
"They're just here to be negative," Stiehm said after the meetings.
Clennon asked why council members switched times from every third Saturday a month, as she would no longer be able to attend meetings. She accused the council of switching times for their own convenience rather than for Austin residents.
"Obviously nobody showed up," she said. "You had people showing up on Saturdays."
Attendance at Conversations with the Council has varied in recent months from three people including Clennon and Prenosil, to more than a dozen residents.
Prenosil also took the city to task over its efforts to hold property owners accountable for houses in disrepair. She argued the city zoning department hadn't done enough to inspect and follow through on property penalties.
"It seems to me over the past 10 years that property values have gone in the toilet," Prenosil told the council. "The city needs to be cleaned up."
Council members argued property owners often comply with the latest complaints lodged against them, but some owners continuously fail to maintain their properties.
"There are certain living situations people have," Council Member Jeremy Carolan said. Carolan, a real estate broker, said he was a "property rights guy."
Stiehm told Clennon and Prenosil they only showed up to meetings to be negative without offering solutions and said the council had worked on enforcing city ordinances concerning dilapidated properties for the past several months.
"Do you want an answer, or do you only want the answer that you want?" Stiehm said to Clennon at one point. "If you don't like the answer you just get up and walk out."
Clennon told the mayor she had the right to do so shortly before walking out of the meeting.
She later questioned why the council hadn't discussed a proposal from the Austin Fire Department to allow children to ride in fire engines during its upcoming open house during the council's public meeting. Clennon said she was shocked to see the proposal and argued against it.
"There's a huge liability on this," she told the council.
Commander Brian Lovik told the council several fire department employees came up with the idea and submitted the proposal to the city for the open house, which will take place Oct. 9.

Meeting starts at 5 p.m. in city hall
By WHITNEY ROBINSON
The Storm Lake City Council will meet on Monday at 5 p.m. in the council chambers to discuss the closures of the railroad crossings. It is possible that the council will make a decision at this meeting.
All the evidence one needs for the Storm Lake City Council to dump a plan to close four railroad crossings was contained in a single photo published on the front page of this newspaper Wednesday: a line of people wending down the stairwell at city hall Monday evening trying to get into a jam-packed council work session on the topic. We have never seen the like.
Manager defends plan, critic maintains he is 'out of touch'
By WHITTNEY ROBINSON
Ninety opponents of the proposed railroad crossing closures filled the Storm Lake council chamber and 50 people overflowed into the hallway on Monday night.
Opponents of the closures believe that the deal was dead on arrival.
He brooks no compromise
Tom McClinton represented the public's opposition of the railroad closures in front of the city council on Monday night.

The city has authorized the signing of a Financial Assistance Award Agreement with the U.S. Economic Development Act (EDA) for a technical study to develop a Commercialization Center Business Plan.
Two firms still talking with city
City officials continue to work with at least two developers interested in building housing next to Sunrise Pointe Golf Course.
Back in the early 1990s, then-City Administrator Clarence Krepps showed us a study from the previous decade showing that it would take tens of millions of dollars to relieve Storm Lake of flooding after heavy rains. The area around Storm Lake High School, Tulip and Rose Lane, and Russell Street were common sites of flooding after a fast rain of an inch or two. It became worse as more houses were built.

Gifts from California
- d
- dimsumgirl Mar 16, 2014 10:55 AM
We are just back in California after 10 days' stay in paradise. I would like to send back some gifts for the hotel staff who took such fine care of us. What would you suggest I send to our friends in Hawaii? I'm wondering what you would ask for if a friend was sending you something from CA. TIA for any suggestions.
Here's one recent thread:
You can find more by Googling "chowhound California gifts."
That's very nice of you.
If the gifts are meant for hotel personnel at the lowest end of the pay scale, gift certificates from CVS or Macy's would probably be appreciated more than, say, See's Candies.. Otherwise, beef jerky, Molinari dry salami chubs and Ethel M's chocolates are frequently brought back to Hawaii to be given out as gifts.
I would say snacks from Trader Joe's are popular and a nice letter to management would be appreciated.
re: Jean Lee
While TJs is a CA based company, I wonder how many of their products are actually made here. But they do certainly have a little wow factor in those places where they haven't moved in.
re: c oliver
TJ gifts are hugely popular in Hawaii. The cookie butter is a good place to start!
I admire you thoughts of sending a gift, we have been in the the same way, but a great tip on your way out might have been easier and appreciated also...but I do like your plan, surprise gifts are wonderful...
If you were trying to develope a long term relationship for future visits, maybe, but "wait staff" comes and goes....
re: UES Mayor
Definitely planning on sending cash but wanted to send something special from CA as well. Thank you all for your ideas. I didn't realize that TJ's was a sought after item. Never thought about TJ's not being there in the islands.
re: dimsumgirl
The chocolate swirl cookie butter. I thought that was a myth till I searched ebay and you can see on instagram #traderjoes all the resellers of the stuff.
Hi, dimsumgirl:
Since Costco and Wallyworld conquered Hawai'i nei, unless it's truly smallkine artisanal, your friends already have easy local access to most things.
What about a nice garlic braid from Gilroy, or heirloom beans from Rancho Gordo? There's also wine if they're into that, although gentle, climate-controlled shipment is not very dependable.
Here's another thread on CA-specific gifts, too: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/538438
If they are truly your friends, they would rather just see you again.
re: dimsumgirl
Lavender honey -- yum
re: honu2
lavender as food = bleh.
hawaii already has premium honey such as volcano island honey (fave is pearl white kiawe). check website.
stuff you can get in cali and the west and can't get here...
mexican/latino products (we do have puerto rican, though), i don't know if mexican coca cola is still available here,
there is nowhere you can get any fudge here (except for see's which only has so-so choc w/walnuts)
certain liquors, there's a thread, maybe a microbrew?
anything eastern european, but i don't think you have that in cali...
trader joes is a great call, +1 to whoever suggested it
costco gift cards would be appreciated, everyone knows someone with a membership (in fact our iwilei store is the busiest costco in the world).
re: indelibledotink
Yes, the Trader Joe's was a great rec. I picked up some food there and baked today. Sent a wallet with some cash and a safe travel talisman from a local temple to our housekeeping staff. Baking for bell and valet staff and will send along with the TJ items this weekend. I like the mexican/ latino products idea-- didn't occur to me before and we have lots of that here. Thank you.
re: dimsumgirl
some trader joe's even have a published list of items that are popular to bring to hawaii
re: dimsumgirl
!! home baked goods is probably the best idea yet!
A case of good California wine, probably a Sauvignon Blanc as it pairs well with the seafood dishes there.
I would suggest you contact Koehler's, a hidden gem in Foxen Valley, Santa Barbara County, and buy a case. Perhaps they could even ship it to Hawaii for you.

Earnshaw lifts Toronto FC to 1-1 draw with Fire
Robert Earnshaw scored midway through the first half to lift Toronto FC to a 1-1 draw with the Chicago Fire on Wednesday night.
Dilly Duka put the Fire (10-11-6) ahead in the 20th minute with a looping ball that skipped over Mike Magee's foot and past goalie Joe Bendik.
Earnshaw tied it three minutes later with his seventh goal, but first since June 15, and Toronto (4-13-11) extended its winless streak to six matches (0-3-3). However, Earnshaw left the game shortly afterwards with a possible injury on the scoring play.
Earnshaw, who has missed time with a hamstring problem, did not launch his trademark somersault goal celebration and came off two minutes later after feeling the back of his leg.
Bendik also had to make a game-saving stop from close range in the 80th minute on a shot by former Toronto player Quincy Amarikwa.

ADDIS ABABA: South Sudanese rebels and a government delegation started peace talks on Tuesday to try to end fighting that has left the world's newest state on the brink of civil war.
The talks in neighbouring Ethiopia will focus on brokering a ceasefire to halt three weeks of violence that has killed at least 1,000 people and driven 200,000 from their homes.
"We have begun our meeting on the cessation of hostilities," a member of the government delegation told Reuters.
The fighting, often along ethnic faultlines, has pitted President Salva Kiir's SPLA government forces against rebels loyal to former vice president Riek Machar.
Mabior Garang, a member of Machar's delegation to the Addis talks, confirmed that the talks had begun.
The two sides delayed talks for several days haggling over the fate of 11 detainees held by the government in Juba. The rebels initially insisted on securing their release before negotiations started.
An Ethiopian diplomat said the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), a regional grouping of east African nations that initiated the talks, had sent its envoys to Juba to press Kiir to release the detainees.
"They're flying today to meet Kiir. They will push for the detainees' release," said an Ethiopian diplomat close to the talks.
The trio of envoys is led by Seyoum Mesfin, a former Ethiopian foreign minister, the diplomat said.

Greens repeat Thames attack on Ken
The Green Party has admonished London mayor Ken Livingstone for not considering the potential of development site Commerce Road in Brentford for waterborne freight use.Green Party assembly member Jenny Jones will ask the mayor why he has not addressed the site's potential for aiding transport via the Grand Union Canal this week, and will be answered in writing on 28 February.Isis Waterside Regeneration's plans for the site - which includes 922 residential units and 7,500m 2of office space designed by Jestico + Whiles and CZWG - are currently being considered by Hounslow Borough Council.There is a policy in the London Plan to increase the use of the Blue Ribbon Network, which includes Commerce Road, for waterborne transport. The Blue Ribbon Network policy was introduced specifically to protect the capital's waterways from unsuitable development.Jones said: 'I want to get lorries off London's roads to make streets safer and air cleaner. The canal network has huge untapped potential for moving freight in London. Brentford is an essential part of London's navigable waterways. Many of its navigation facilities have recently been built over for housing and retail.'The Commerce Road site, with its existing covered wharf, would be ideal for waterborne freight. Hounslow council and the London mayor must ensure it is protected for navigation,' she added.by Rob Sharp
