Does anyone know the current Amtrak policy for unboxed bikes on the Adirondack and the Vermonter routes? I have taken my bike unboxed in the baggage car on the Adirondack route before, but not in the past few years, and I have heard that the policy has changed. It was so much easier than boxing the bike that it is likely to make the difference between whether I ride or not.
The Amtrak website has general information about bike shipping, boxed and unboxed, but doesn't specify routes.
Thanks for any info.

CalPERS responds to critical editorial
Letters to the editor for May 9, 2014: Pension fund; Benghazi; climate change; S.D. library budget; adjunct faculty mistreated; development; Breen cartoon
CalPERS strives for financial health
The U-T editorial calling CalPERS "dishonorable to its core" was irresponsible ("Fifteen years of bad faith from CalPERS," May 3).
Nothing could be further from the truth. Statements such as this have no place in the discourse regarding pension reform. CalPERS is committed to strong governance, ethics and transparency. As part of this commitment, we welcome public input, as is the case of defining pensionable compensation, referenced in the editorial.
We have taken steps over the years to make changes to ensure the long-term sustainability of the pension fund. We are a different organization today. What hasn't changed is our mission to protect the financial and health security of our members who serve California.
It's time for the U-T to stop the rants and rethink the rhetoric.
Robert Udall Glazier
Deputy, External Affairs, CalPERS
CalPERS add
The May 4 U-T editorial deriding the CalPERS board on a split vote regarding pensionable compensation is uncalled for and continues the U-T's agenda of blaming public employee pensions for a litany of woes and attack on middle-class jobs.
The proposed regulatory decision will provide employees asked by their employers to temporarily serve and perform more responsible duties and compensated at a higher rate count as part of working years income in calculating retirement compensation. What's wrong with that?
With extensive retirements and movement out of the public sector by public employees, a void exists that needs to be filled in public organizations. I applaud public employees who 'step up to the plate' and take on more responsibility and greater workloads while public agencies do their lengthy recruitment process. Often the employee has to perform double duty; their regular position's and the duties of the vacated position.
Earned compensation, even on a temporary basis, should be counted in retirement calculations. Many CalPERS formulas are based on a three-year average and California's Pension Reform Bill (AB 340) excludes retirement "spiking" for unused vacation time, sick time, overtime and other one-time compensations.
The CalPERS Board's proposed decision, up for a 45-day review period, was made in an open and public meeting. The vote was not unanimous, which means there was healthy discussion and deliberation. Deriding the CalPERS board because a minority of the board didn't get their way is petty, manipulative and undemocratic.

Why the mishandling of Benghazi?
In response to the May 6 letter "Will new Benghazi report be worth it?", if we truly were governed by a "transparent" administration, this "phony scandal" would have been laid to rest months ago. The investigation continues only because we have not been given the information needed for closure.
The Obama administration's choice to continuously mishandle this tragedy begs the question: Why? One logical premise: the president had an election to win, and these deaths were inconvenient to that end. The fact that these Americans were gruesomely murdered less than 24 to 36 hours before Obama appeared at another self-promoting presidential fundraiser in Las Vegas reveals his innermost priorities and values. The administration's obstruction, misinformation, and stalling tactics combined with the sorry fact that we live with a propagandist press that covers/ignores instead of investigates is where the "politics" began. And that, to quote the letter writer is indeed, "a disgusting tactic that serves only to keep the families suffering." And the nation as well.

Let's see what American Physics Society says about climate change
Although the American Physics Society is now reviewing climate change, the White House on May 6, in effect, declared it proven and wants action.
Since solar, wind, and biomass cannot supplant fossil fuels, action means energy use will be curtailed. Inasmuch as energy is what lifts our lives above subsistence, curtailment means a huge drop in our standard of living.

[ ABSTRACT Apparatus for folding sheet material in which apparatus panels disposed in opposed relation form a receiving surface for the receipt of sheet material to be folded. The panels are provided with vacuum ports which the sheet material overlies and the production of suction pressure retains the sheet material securely on the forming board. The panels are pivotally mounted such that they are movable between a position in which the oppositely disposed panels lie in substantially planar relation and a position in which the panels are in substantially parallel relation. Tucking of sheet material transversely to provide fold lines in the material is accomplished by shaping the panels to appropriate configurations. A preferred form of the apparatus includes a plurality of the folding boards supported on a carrier permitting continuous operation. Additionally, mechanism mounted on the carrier provides for assisting tucking or folding operations.

- tailed description FOLDING APPARATUS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to sheet folding apparatus and more particularly concerns apparatus for the folding of disposable absorbent articles such as diapers into contoured configurations so that the article conforms readily to a wearer.
2. The Invention With Relation to the Prior Art The folding of flexible materials, and specifically materials having a somewhat non-uniform structure, is of increasing importance as disposable materials become more prominent in commerce. The folding is required to be uniform from article to article to accommodate modern packaging techniques and to insure commercial acceptability. Exemplary of articles demanding accuracy and reproducibility in folding while yet necessarily being folded on a production basis are disposable diapers, particularly those which are contoured to accommodate themselves to the shape of wearers, such as young children. A diaper of the kind under consideration is disclosed in I-Irubecky U. S. Pat. No. 3,196,874.
Additionally, sheet materials of the paper tissue kind and those which combine tissue with nonwoven materials in the toweling, bib, napkin and like fields are articles which require folding to desired shapes at a substantial production rate.
It is, accordingly, a primary object of this invention to provide apparatus for the folding of sheet material which is widely applicable in the paper and similar producing industries.
An important object of the invention is to provide a novel folding board arrangement which has particular utility as a component of apparatus which automatically folds sheet material at a substantial production rate. The board provides for the folding of material lengthwise of itself and may substantially simultaneously 'provide for the making of transverse folds or folds angularly disposed to the length and width of the sheet material as desired.
A further and more specific object of the invention is to provide apparatus for folding a disposable diaper along a medially located line lengthwise of itself and to 'tuck edge portions of the diaper inwardly centrally of the diaper length to provide a generally triangular fold in the diaper with a centrally disposed pocket.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be more readily apparent by reference to the following deand accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a diaper folding apparatus incorporating a plurality of folding boards in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is an essentially schematic view in side elevation illustrating fold positions of a diaper folding board as the board progresses in the operation of the apparatus of FIG. 1 from the machine inlet to the machine outlet positions;
FIGS. 3 and 3a are fragmentary and sectional views which, taken together, illustrate the mechanism for effecting folding board operations, the views being taken in the direction of the position of machine outlet;
FIG. 4 is a somewhat enlarged and fragmentary sectional view taken on line 4-4 of FIG. 3;
FIG. 4a is a view like that of FIG. 4 to a somewhat smaller scale illustrating particularly the camming mechanism for actuation of the folding boards and associated equipment;
FIG. 5 and 5a through FIGS. 8 and 8a illustrate corresponding positions of the diaper'folding mechanism and the fold in the diaper itself at specific stages of the operation;
FIGS. 9 and 10 are detail views of the diaper folding mechanism;
FIG. 11 is a schematic view illustrating a mode of determining relative shaft positions for operation of the specific folding mechanism;
FIGS. 12, 13 and 14 are detail views of a pusher mechanism for effecting diaper removal from the folding mechanism;
FIGS. 15 and 16 are detail views illustrating an arrangement of assist fingers for effecting diaper folding with a deep centrally positioned diaper pocket; and
FIG. 17 is a view in plan of a power source arrangement for the equipment operation described.
In broad aspect the mechanism in accordance with the invention includes a folding board which moves in a predetermined path and intercepts an article to be folded, such as the mentioned disposable diaper. It is apparent that other sheet material may be folded to predetermined configurations in accordance with the principles of the invention and that the diaper structure in its passage through the mechanism fully illustrates these principles. The diapers in the preferred practice of the invention move to the folding board in essentially planar condition.
The folding board includes a pair of oppositely disposed panels arranged to be pivoted from a position in which the panels form essentially a plane to receive the planar disposed diaper, to a position in which the panels lie in substantially parallel relation with the diaper folded lengthwise about a medial transverse fold line of the diaper. The panels, for the purpose of securely retaining the diaper as it is folded, each include rearwardly disposed on the panel a housing communicating with vacuum ports. Accordingly, as a diaper is transferred to the folding board, a leading edge of the diaper lies across the leading end of the first panel and the application of vacuum holds it in fixed position relative to the panel. As the folding board moves, the diaper is further drawn onto the second and trailing panel, and the trailing edge of the diaper lies across and is retained by the vacuum condition existing at the ports of the trailing end of the second panel.
The panels are suitably shaped to provide for fold lines in the diaper additionally to the medial transverse fold line. In specific application the panels are of a generally triangular configuration and of the same dimensions so that, upon folding the flexible material, the product shape is substantially symmetrical about the medial fold line. The attainment of the additional fold lines is with the aid of tucking elements which suitably function simultaneously with the pivotal movement of the panels and may be actuated from machine components common to the panels or from components independently actuated.
For production operations a plurality of the folding boards are provided on a carrier which traverses a closed path from a diaper inlet zone to a diaper outlet zone, returning to the inlet zone for the reception of a continuing supply of diapers to be folded. The folding board panels are suitably each controlled in their movement from the planar open position to a parallel or closed folded position and return to the open position by cam means moving in a fixed track and supported by the carrier. Additionally, a cam actuated device is provided to assist diaper removal from the folded or collapsed folding board.
In the specific embodiment disclosed, the carrier includes an arrangement to assist folding and provide a relatively deep pocket centrally of the diaper. This arrangement acts in conjunction with each forming board as it approaches the diaper outlet zone and is synchronized with the movements of the carrier and folding boards to permit entry to and withdrawal from the partially folded diapers in a reciprocating action.
The diapers in their folded condition, with the folding board panels lying in generally parallel relation to each other, are relatively fixed in position even after removal of the vacuum conditions. To aid removal, each folding board includes means, suitably cam actuated, for urging the diapers from the boards while the panels are in their folded position.
Referring to the drawings more in detail, the numeral 11 in FIGS. 1 and 2 indicates a diaper moving in planar arrangement in the direction of the arrows toward a transfer roll 13 which carries a fixed vacuum box 15. The diaper 11 may be of any construction suitable to be folded in the manner such as is, for example, generally indicated in FIG. 8a. The diapers commony are formed of a composite of flexible materials including a liquid impermeable ply as of polyethylene, an absorbent ply as of wood pulp fibers, and a soft bodycontacting ply of reinforced tissue as is well-known in the art. Further details of construction are not essential to the practice of this invention but a useful diaper construction is more specifically shown in U. S. Pat. No. 3,196,874 previously mentioned herein.
A plurality of the diapers as particularly indicated in FIG. 2 move in succession in spaced apart relation to the roll 13 and are carried to the roll on a wire screen 17 under the influence of vacuum applied from a fixed vacuum box 19. The screenv 17 is conveniently supported on rollers in well-known manner, one roll being indicated at 21 in FIG. 2.
The folding apparatus is generally designated by the numeral 22 (FIGS. 1 and 2). It includes a pair of oppositely disposed carrying plates 23,24 retained in spaced relation by a plurality of horizontally extending spacers 12 which are also hollow and serve as conduits for air flow in a vacuum system later to be described. The plates 23,24 are fixedly retained on a main shaft 25 (FIGS. 1, 2 and 3) for rotation therewith by conventional keys as at 28. Framing 26, which includes a transverse member and a pair of uprights, support the shaft 25 rotatably on bearings as indicated at 26a (FIG. 3). As shown most clearly in FIGS. 1 and 2, a plurality of folding boards generally indicated at 27 are provided and carried in rotation between the plates 23,24 for the purpose of acting on a corresponding plurality of diapers simultaneously to fold them from the flat position of FIG. 1 to the position generally indicated in FIG. 8a. The sequence of folding steps is illustrated in FIGS. a through 8a, and the corresponding folding board positions are shown in FIGS. 5 through 8.
Referring now to the movement of the folding boards 27, in the present instance the general type of mechanism is a cam actuated one. For this purpose the frame 26 fixedly carries a pair of cam plates 29, one on each side of the apparatus (FIGS. 3 and 3a). Two plates 29 are employed in practice for smooth operation. For convenience one cam plate and its associated equipment for rotation of the panels of a folding board, as illustrated particularly in FIG. 3, will be described in detail but it is to be understood that the operations on each side of the machine for actuation of the panel folding mechanism will be similar. Each of the folding boards 27 is actuated in the same way by separate cam means, as may be clearly seen from FIGS. 4 and 4a. Corresponding parts, where convenient, are designated by corresponding numerals. Also in FIGS. 3 and 3a for sake of clarity in illustration, the panels are at to their normal position.
The panels 27a, 27b of a folding board are actuated through a single cam on each cam plate 29. Thus, cam plate 29 receives a cam follower 30 which moves in a cam track 31. The follower 30 is carried by a bell crank 32 which has a hub 33 of rotation and carries at one end gear teeth 34 arranged as a sector of a gear. The teeth 34 mesh with a toothed gear 35 fixedly retained (FIG. 3) on an inner hollow tubular shaft 36 (FIG. 5). The shaft 36 is integral with bevelled gear 37 which meshes with pinion 38, the latter meshing with bevelled gear 39 for rotation with respect to shaft 36. Gear 39 is integral with outer shaft 41. Bearings indicated at 40 support the gear 39 and outer shaft 41 for rotation with respect to the inner shaft 36, the concentric shafts 36 and 41 having opposite rotational directions. Panel support arms designated at 42a and 42b are respectively secured to outer shafts 41 and 36.
The panels 27a, 27b at their oppositely disposed rearward ends, as shown in FIG. 5, have housings 45 and vacuum ports 44 which communicate the housing interiors with the atmosphere. Conduits 43 (FIGS. 3 and 3a) connect to vacuum pump means (not shown) and air flow may take place from the housing interiors through the second and hollow tubular arms 42b and hollow shafts 36. Each housing is closed off interiorly at one end as most clearly shown in FIG. 3 to provide for air passage from the folding board surface to the housing interior and vacuum application to material resting over the ports 44. A second support arm 42b, and a first support 42a (which is suitably solid and blocked off from the interior of housing 45 to provide for the vacuum effect) are connected with each panel for driving it in rotation as illustrated in FIGS. 5 through 8. For this purpose the radial distance of the arms 42a, 42b are equal from the axial center of the hollow shaft 36 so that each arm cooperates smoothly in providing for the movement.
The numeral 46 (FIGS. 1 and 3) generally designates a bracket for retention of the gear cluster 37, 39 to which reference has already been made. Each bracket includes a mounting plate 47 secured fixedly to a circular carrying plate for traveling in rotation with the plate. As indicated in FIG. 3, shaft 41 is rotatably mounted with respect to and supported by this plate 47. This permits free rotation of the outer shaft 41 relative to the plate 47. The other outer oppositely disposed plate 48 of each bracket 46 is hollow, providing for air flow to the conduits 43 from the arms as already noted (FIGS. 3 and 3a).
The movement of the arms to effect panel movements is permitted by the gimbal joint arrangement, more specifically described in connection with FIGS. 9
and 10. As shown, each arm 42a and 42b fixedly carries a mount 49. The mount 49 threadedly receives a bearing screw 50 (FIG. which is itself pivotally retained on block 51 by roller bearing 54. The pivot block 51 also includes a second bearing screw 52 which is threadedly received in a mount 53 carried on the extremity of a wing or fold member 56. Provision for rotation of the bearing screw 52 is made by the roller bearing 55 similar to bearing 54. Member 56, effect indicated at 57, is hingedly connected to a second and similar wing 58. The wings 56,58 in their movement, as indicated in FIGS. Sthrough 8, ffect folding of the diaper as indicated in the views shown in FIGS. 5a through 8a. More specifically, shafts 36 and 41, driven as already indicated and which are associated with the arms 42a, 42b, cause the arms 42a, 42b to move through the positions indicated in FIGS. 5 to 8. As such movement takes place, the wings 56,58 are caused to collapse on themselves and also inwardly against the diaper, urging the diaper into a fold condition such as is indicated, for example, at 11h and 11g in FIG. 6a.
The wings 56,58 themselves collapse inwardly upon movement of the arms 42 due to the gimbal joint arrangement illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10 and previously described. The lines of fold are determined by selection of the relative axial alignment of the axes of bearing screws 50,52 as indicated at 50 and 52 in the schematic illustration FIG. 11. (In FIG. 11, for convenience, the schematically illustrated gimbal joint components have the same numerals in other figures but are primed.) More specifically, the line GA, for example, extending from the simulated diaper center to a diaper corner and beyond provides one axis while a line l-IA projected from the point l-I provides the second axis 52 These axes lie along the intended lines of fold of the diaper and angularly to the medial transverse foldline EF. When oriented, as shown in FIG. 11, the diaper, upon movement of the wings 56,58 as indicated, results in primary diaper sections 11a, 11b and outer side folds 11c, 11d, 11g, and 11h as well as inwardly disposed folds lle, 11f, lli, and 11j.
It will, accordingly, be understood from the foregoing that in the rotation of plates 23,24 the brackets 46 and their associated plates 47 rotatably secured to the hubs 33 move the followers 30 in their respective tracks 31 and through the mechanism previously described, causing the panels 27a, 27b of the folding boards to move through the steps indicated in FIGS. 5 through 8. Specifically, the panels which are spaced apart lengthwise in end-to-end relation to define a gap for forming a transverse fold line in the diaper are oscillated or rotated to a back-to-back position with the gap maintained. In the course of this action a diaper which has been delivered in lengthwise planar disposition to a folding board as in FIG. 2 is completely folded in the course of its passage from the transfer roll 13 to the removal jaws 14. Also, in the course of this action, the diaper is subjected to vacuum conditions as indicated in FIG. 2 Thus, at the first station lp vacuum is applied to the leading end of panel 27a by drawing air through the vacuum ports 44 which are positioned forwardly on the folding board 27. The air flow is to the shaft 36, conduit 43 (FIG. 3) and through spacer-conduit 12 to the rotary valve 9 and p'ort 10 of the valve, the exhaust to vacuum being by legend indicated in. FIG. 2. The rotary valve 9 is of a conventional type in which openings 8 in circular plate 23 (FIG. 2) and also plate 24 are covered and uncovered sequentially in known manner in plate rotation relative to the valve to provide respectively for stopping and starting of air flow.
In the drawing the solid lines indicate air flow from the vacuum ports to the hollow shafting. The solid lines indicate air flow or the presence of vacuum conditions at the leading end of the foldin'g'board; the dash lines indicate the presence of vacuum conditions at the rearward end of the board, and the absence of solid or dash lines indicates that vacuum conditions are not present.
Accordingly, as shown at positions 2p through 4p (FIGS. 2 and 4a), the diaper is retained in positions as the panels in their movements cause folding of the diaper longitudinally about the median transverse fold line. As the folding board traverses its path from position 4p to 5p, the vacuum condition is removed and the diaper is free to move from the ports and to be withdrawn by suitable mechanism at station 5p. In the travel to the position 6p under the influence of the cam means 30, the folding board opens toward a substantially planar condition.
To assist the removal of the diaper at the station 5p (FIG. 2) the mechanism as is particularly illustrated in FIG. 3 and more in detail in FIGS. 12 to 14 is provided in association with each folding board. As illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the frame 26 carries a cam plate for receiving a plurality of cam followers 61 in the track 62. Each follower 61 is retained by a bell crank 63 (FIG. 4). Each bell crank is provided with a hub 64 which is received on a shaft 65. Each shaft 65 through bearing 66 rotatably supports the bell crank from the rotatable carrier plate 24. A bearing retainer nut 67 provides for retention of a shaft 65 on a bell crank 63. Each bell crank 63 carries teeth 68 which mesh with the teeth of a gear 69 supported by a bushing 70 which itself receives a key 71 (FIG. 3). A key 71 is received by each shaft 72 so that a gear 69 drives a shaft 72. Each shaft 72 is suitably supported by bearings 73 as indicated particularly in FIG. 3. As is apparent in the rotation of the carrier plate 24, the shafts 72 are driven through the followers 61 of bell crank 63. I
A circular plate 74 (FIG. 4) suitably termed a pusher support plate is secured for rotation with shaft 25 through key 75 (FIG. 3). The pusher support plate 74 rotatably supports each shaft 72 of the diaper pusher assembly. Each shaft 72 carries a sector gear 76 which is retained on the shaft by a clamp screw 76a. Each sector gear 76 meshes with and drives a rack 77. A fixedly positioned backing roller 78 (FIG. 4) associated with each pusher assembly guides each rack in its rectilinear movement as does a guide block 79. Each rack 77 on its extremity is provided with a suitably shaped pusher 80 (FIGS. 4, and 12-14).
Referring now to FIGS. 12-14 inclusive, a pusher 80 of each folding board acts against brackets 81 which form part of the mechanism for assisting diaper removal from the diaper folding boards. Only one pusher assembly will now be described in detail. Pins 82 carried on opposite ends of a spirng 83 are retained by the forward bracket 81 and rearward bracket 84. Further, bracket 81 is fixedly retained on a movable slide 85 on the under side of each of the panels 27a,27b of the folding board. Each slide 85 carries a block 86 of nylon, the slide and block being retained together by nut and bolt assemblies 87.
The nylon block 86 moves in a slot 88 extending in each of the panels of the folding boards as indicated most clearly at 27b in FIG. 12. Accordingly, when a pusher is actuated by the movement of the shaft 72 under control of a cam follower 61, a diaper on the folding board will be urged outwardly of the board and the board assumes the position of FIG. 13. As most clearly seen from FIG. 3, the actuation of the diaper removal device is governed by the relationship of a cam follower 61 to that of the cam follower 30, and these are so synchronized that the diaper is urged from the plate at the proper station as indicated in FIG. 4a.
It has been found desirable to assist the action of the wings or folding members 56,58 in the folding of the diapers and to achieve a relatively deep central pocket. For this purpose there is provided the mechanism illustrated in FIGS. 15 and 16. Referring first to FIG. 15, there is indicated at a pair of fold assist tubular rods 90 through which an air flow may be directed. These rods are received on pivot blocks 91 which include a base 92 and, since each rod arrangement is similar, only one will be described in detail. The base 92 receives therethrough a screw 93 (FIG. 16). A cross-arm 94 receives the screw 93 in threaded engagement and nut 95 abuts the cross-arm retaining the screw and cross-arm in fixed relation. One extremity of the screw 93 (FIG. 16) rotatably receives block 91; for this purpose the bearing 96 is provided to effect the rotational support. Each of rods 90 is thus pivotally mounted with respect to cross-arm 94.
The cross-arm 94 is slotted at 97 and receives cap screws 98 which are threadedly secured in an extremity of bar 99. The bar 99 is provided with stud shafts 100 (FIG. 17) which rotate within the bar, the stud shafts being carried on extremities of the cranks 101. A first crank 101 receives shaft 102 while the second crank 101 receives shaft 103 (FIGS. 15 and 17). The bar 99 describes an essentially orbital or generally circular motion with the centers of shafts 100 moving in an arcuate fashion about the centers of shafts 102,103.
Shafts 102 and 103 are driven in a manner more clearly seen from FIG. 17. In FIG. 17 the numeral 105 designates an electric motor source of power. Motor shaft 106 carries pulley 107 which, through belt 108, drives pulley 109 and shaft 110. A suitable right angle drive arrangement 112 connected by couplings 111 from shaft to shaft 113 provides for actuation of gear 114. Gear 114 drives main gear 115 carried on main shaft 25 to which reference has already been made. Second gear 116 on shaft 113 drives gear 117 and hence shaft 118 and gear 119. The latter gear cooperates with gear 120 to drive shaft 102. Shaft 102 carries pulley 121 which drives timing belt 122 and pulley 123 on the shaft 103. Thus, shafts 102 and 103 are rotatably supported by frame 26 and are arranged to rotate in timed relation. The rotation of shafts 102,103 cause movement of the cranks 101 and hence movement of the arm 99 and cross-arm 94.
Cross-arm 99 provides for the movement of the fold assist rods 90 in an arcuate motion so that the rods 9 may enter the diaper in sin arcuate motion as the diaper is being folded and as 'the diaper and the folding board carrying it itself move in a closed path.
For the purpose of guiding the inward and outward movement of the rods 90 freely of other parts of the mechanism and the diaper itself, a linkage system controls motion of the rods 90 in a generally oscillating manner. More specifically, from each fixed frame support 26 a bracket 130 is provided. A pair of ball joints 124 carrying a rigid link 125 (FIG. 16) are respectively secured to brackets and to the base 92 of the block 91 forfree pivotal movement. Retaining means 127 of conventional nature such as a threaded bolt and screw effect securing to the brackets 130 and with rigid arms 125 tend to limit the movements of each of the bases 92 carrying the rods 90.
The retaining means 128 serve to retain rigid arms 125 to base 92 and base 92 is slotted to provide for adjustability and to permit accurate location of the retaining means.
The rods 90 are hollow for the purpose of directing air through them against the diaper to assist folding and also to aid release from the diaper. For this purpose air lines 126 communicate with the rods as indicated in FIG. 15.
The diapers passing from the folding boards to the jaws 14 are ready for packaging and may be directed to suitable cartons in known manner.
Mechanism as described is capable of handling diapers of a size of about 12% inches by 17% inches at a rate of up to 200 diapers per minute, and more. The folding boards, panels having their edges which taper from the relatively wide rearward end to a narrow forward terminating at the gap between panels, are as described suitably on 24 inch centers about the carrier periphery, and the carrier plates 23,24 rotate at a speed of about 40 rpm.
As many apparently widely different embodiments of this invention may be made without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the specific embodiments thereof except as defined in the appended claims.

Hey guys,
If you don't mind sharing, how long were you off your bike? How long have you been riding post recovery? Have you regained your pre injury fitness, if yes how long did it take? How old are you?
Shoulder injury has me on I.R. and I'm trying to figure out my drop dead date for returning to cycling and being able to make the fall centuries.

Send your "Reflection" to Kathleen Kastilahn.
Energy, the presidential campaign and Iraq dominate the news as summer draws to a close. Which one will be front-and-center a year, a decade, a century from now?
I'll bet on energy.
How much is enough? That's a critical question for 21st-century Americans. Oil, solar, wind, geothermal or atomic—harnessing and distributing energy are political and scientific issues, which we all have a responsibility to deal with.
Consider another energy question.
How much is enough—for our daily life as Christians? Difficult people and personal shortcomings are major energy consumers. God asks us to be loving and forgiving with others and with ourselves. That takes energy.
But remember, God also offers an unlimited supply of love and forgiveness for every season of our lives and for the years to come.
Fueled with God-given energy, we have enough.
Posted at 2:25 pm (U.S. Eastern) 8/26/2008
Short and sweet, but missing the point in my opinion. Certainly God's energy is more than we need and keeps coming. However, caring for His creation demands that we know something of the facts of natural energy sources. Oil and Coal seem to be the bad boy of energy today. Why? Because it takes energy to produce and in itself emits carbon dioxide and other harmful polutants into the atmosphere. I am not a trained scientist, but that much I know from what I read. Solar and wind energy certainly are plentiful. However, do we have the courage to change our way of thinking and develop ways to use that energy to our world's advantage? This is a world problem, not just a USA problem.
Posted at 4:07 pm (U.S. Eastern) 8/26/2008
I think there is a great gap between what we can visualize and what we can do right now. Right now, we need the fossil fuels -- coal, oil and natural gas. We have an industrial economy. The transition from fossil fuels to other energy sources will take at least a generation, and it won't start until there is someplace to go. Wind energy is a fairy tale for the moment. Nice idea, but not practical. It will never be a complete solution. Solar energy the same.
And don't forget all the petroleum products that are not fuel. We don't stop needing petroleum even if we stop using it to power vehicles.
Now, to address the question of how much is enough. We need what it takes to support a contemporary culture. We want clean running water, lights 24 hours a day, computers, freedom to go where we want when we want to go there. That is how much energy we need. Every country wants the same. The countries where people wait for buses and hike for water and go to bed at sundown want what we have. We don't want what they have.
The amount of energy trapped in a single atom is astronomical. I don't think we have begun to understand the power available to us. Instead of thinking how to get by with less, I vote that we use the intellectual curiosity and power God gave us to discover more and more about his creation and the energy he put there for us. The current energy shortage is a political problem, not a scientific one. We pray for God to give our political leaders wisdom, and for our scientists to keep pushing the boundaries back, discovering more and more of God's great and wonderful gifts.

Tonight: Snob Theater with Grand Lake, Kevin Munroe, Brendan Lynch and More
"The Bay Area has such a rich comedy and music scene -- in my eyes, it just had to happen" explains Shawn Robbins, the man behind San Francisco's indie comic and music hybrid night Snob Theater. Inspired by similar events in New York and Los Angeles, Snob Theater brings together a varied cast of local musicians and comedians each month for an intimate evening of laughs and live music at The Dark Room. An aspiring musician and comedian himself, the marriage between stand-up and indie-rock was all too logical for Shawn.

Stay C.A.L.M., help is already here!
Dave Bar has worked for Crutchfield since 1981. After a brief 23 year stint in the sales department, he now writes about home audio gear and camera equipment for Crutchfield's catalog and website. Dave has been hooked on electronics ever since putting together a 5-tube AM radio in his high school shop class, and still enjoys tinkering with stereos in his spare time. His interests include gardening, cooking, fishing, photography, and music.
More from Dave Bar
The Senate is currently considering H.R. 6209 — the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act. Also known as C.A.L.M. (get it?). The bill directs the FCC to regulate over-amped TV ads. And let's face it, no one appreciates being blasted off the sofa by some announcer extolling the virtues of a kitchen appliance that slices, dices, and gets your teeth as white as snow.
But it doesn't take an act of Congress to fix this problem — the solution's already built into a number of home theater receivers. No, it's not the mute button (although if you're willing to sit there with remote constantly in hand I suppose that might work). What I'm talking about is much more ingenious. It's something called Dynamic Volume, a technology created by Tomlinson Holman (of THX fame) and a company named Audyssey.
Dynamic Volume makes the need to constantly adjust the volume control a thing of the past. It works by monitoring the differences in volume between the loudest and softest levels of your program, and automatically maintaining the desired listening level you have set. Not only does Dynamic Volume suppress the objectionably loud passages, it neatly enhances the quietest parts to maintain clarity, tonal balance, and bass response. Plus it works equally well with TV shows and movies on DVD.
Right now, you can find Dynamic Volume on many of the surround sound receivers from Denon (like the one pictured above), Marantz, and Onkyo. To take advantage of this cool new technology, you must first pipe your TV's sound through the receiver and then to a set of external speakers. (Shouldn't you be doing that anyway?) So it might take a little bit of effort to set up, but the rewards will come back to you many fold. And you don't even need to wait for Congressional action.

Recent rumors of a Yahoo layoff have come to fruition. Yahoo announced today that it is eliminating or transitioning 2000 jobs in an effort to be "nimble."
Could this be the result of Bing surpassing Yahoo as the number two search engine earlier this year? Or is it, in fact, a reflection of Google's search engine dominance for better than a decade? One thing is for sure, Yahoo and its business practices have definitely affected its position in the market. I remember many years ago having to pay $299 for a Yahoo business listing. At the time it was the only real way to do well in Yahoo when it had nearly the market share of Google. In fact, I remember a time when Yahoo was king. It was so much friendlier than the Lords of Free CD's, AOL.
I think if Yahoo wants to be truly nimble, they need to simplify their homepage to start. There are so many news articles along with Trending Now and must-see videos and oh hey, there's the mail button next to Autos and Finance and… good grief! Where's the search bar?
In addition, there's something that annoys me on a personal level.
Let's say you're on Facebook and a post says, "Joe Shmo read an article: Cool Frog Does Mambo" and you're like, "Hey I want to see a frog do a mambo!" You click on it and you get this annoying app that asks, "Do you want to allow Yahoo to view your Facebook Account and everything you've ever done?" Of course I don't. Bad move, Yahoo. Thou shalt not block thine own links with annoying pop-ups. This could very well be one a new species of Facebook posters.
Yahoo's expected savings for this move are anticipated to save upwards of $375 million dollars each year. Hopefully they will use this money to improve user experience.

Sigrid Deger-Jalkotzy and Irene S. Lemos
Supplied by the generosity of the A. G. Leventis Foundation the Third A. G. Leventis Conference 'From wanax to basileus' was organised by Sigrid Deger-Jalkotzy and Irene S. Lemos at the University of Edinburgh, 22–25 January 2003. Sigrid Deger-Jalkotzy was at the time the third Leventis Visiting Professor. The subject of the conference was chosen first because the research interests of the organisers focus on the centuries between the collapse of the Mycenaean palace states (c.1200 BC) and the beginning of the archaic period of Ancient Greece (c.700 BC) which until recently have been called 'The Dark Age of Greece'. The term is still used by classical archaeologists, ancient historians and linguists, as well as by scholars of adjacent fields such as Near Eastern studies and European Prehistory. The second reason for organising this conference was the fact that many significant discoveries made during recent decades together with new approaches and intensive research on various aspects of cultural developments require a fresh and comprehensive revision of the period. Obviously the new state of research has rendered the term of a 'Dark Age of Greece' highly questionable. Yet since the seminal surveys by A. Snodgrass, V. Desborough and F. Schachermeyr no monographic treatment covering the entire period and all its cultural aspects and developments has been published. The organisers felt that it might not be possible any longer for a single author to perform such a task. Therefore distinguished scholars from all over the world were invited to gather in Edinburgh in order to re-examine old and new evidence on the period. The subjects of their papers were chosen in advance so that taken together they would cover the field with an interdisciplinary perspective, approaching the period under consideration from various disciplines.
On these premises the papers cover a wide range of themes. They compare, as well as contrast, aspects of the Mycenaean palace system with the political and social structures emerging after its collapse. Archaeological papers are offered by scholars who have been working and specializing in specific areas of Greece, a number of whom are involved with sites which have changed the study of the period, such as Lefkandi, Knossos, Dimini and regions such as central and western Greece. There are moreover studies of the linguistic developments of

my fiancee bought me a Rapha Winter jersey.
construction and fabric are great.
it was super warm this AM; i wore it with a long sleeve underarmor baselayer in 38 degree weather and might have been a tad too warm...until i stopped for 5 minutes and the sweat turned cold.
it's worth noting that these are very form fitting, especially around the waist/hips.
i'm 6'1'', 170lbs and a large fits me perfectly everywhere except for the hips, where it just barely gets around my "apparently huge" pelvis.

deKeyzer, Jack
Guitarist Jack de Keyzer is originally from London, England by way of Rotterdam, and is a former member of Hamilton band The Bopcats - a rockabilly group who released two albums in the 1980's on Attic Records.
After leaving The Bopcats he was a member of The Rock Angels who released an independent EP in 1983.
de Keyzer's solo work started in 1989 with the release of "Blue Train" as an indie video. This track led to the album 'Hard Working Man' which was produced by Stacey Heydon. The album mad a name for de Keyzer in the Canadian blues industry through the successful singles "Blue Train", "That's The Way" and "Nothing In The World". The single "That's The Way" made it all the way to #13 on Rock Radio.
His sophomore effort, 1994 'Wild At Heart' was produced by Kevin Doyle (Harem Scarem, Alannah Myles) and Jack de Keyzer.
February 1999 saw the release of "mostly live" 'Down In The Groove' on de Keyzer's own Blue Star label. The CD was nominated for a 1999 Juno Award for Best Blues CD, and Best CD of 1999 by the National MAPL Blues Awards. de Keyzer, along with engineer Alec Fraser, won their nomination for Best Recording by MAPL Blues.
Along with performing and recording, de Keyzer also produces and has other acts signed to his Blue Star label including John Mars. He is also a veteran session man having played on recordings by the likes of Richard Newell (aka King Biscuit Boy), Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, Rita Chiarelli, John Mars, "Baby" Chris Houston, and Art Bergmann.
de Keyzer's music has also appeared in movie soundtracks, (The Michelle Apartments, My Father�s Shoes) and on TV (Traders, PSI Factor).

A Raleigh man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for smuggling dozens of pistols into the United Kingdom.
Steven Neal Greenoe was sentenced Tuesday in federal court in Greenville. He pleaded guilty last year to exporting firearms from the United States without a license and traveling in foreign commerce to deal in firearms without a license.
Melvin King, acting special agent in charge of the ATF office in Charlotte, says such trafficking schemes are contributing factors to violent crime.
Prosecutors say the 37-year-old ex-Marine brought 63 pistols in his checked luggage on flights to Britain, where he then sold them.
Authorities said he disassembled the weapons and disguised them as engineering samples and inert weapons, then concealed them in his luggage.


text: Nobody questions what Nicole Richie does, and after she went kind of hippie, it came as no surprise when she named her children Harlow Winter Kate and Sparrow James Midnight. I just don't get why these lucky children get tow middle names each when some children are jipped all together? (cough, Mariah Carey) That just doesn't seem fair if you ask me. But apparently each child got one traditional middle name and additionally a contemporary spin on an ancient African day name.

1:18 Maisto BMW M6 Convertible Review
The 1:18 Maisto BMW M6 Convertible is one of the better Maisto models. It is a bit shy from the BMW Z8, but still quite good. As is the real car.
There are quite a few other options for a model of the BMW M6 Convertible, including a model from Kyosho. But if your budget is a bit tight, the Maisto offering will please you.
Before we start our review of the model, let's take a look at the real car. The BMW M6 was revived in 2005 after a nearly 16 year break. The car is a two-door four-seater sports coupe with front engine placement and rear wheel drive.
The engine is a 5-liter V10, developing 507 hp. But that's after you press the M button on the steering wheel. When you start the car at first, it is producing "only" 400 hp to improve fuel consumption. To get the power to the back wheels he M6 is using a 7-speed SMG III gearbox or a 6-speed manual.
The results are quite impressive. The M6 gets from 0-100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds and the unlimited top speed is about 330 km/h or 205 mph. The body is made out of several materials including aluminum, carbon fibre, thermoplastic and etc. It features one of the most light, yet strong, rims made out of aluminum.
The M6 was offered in both coupe and convertible versions with very little differences in performance. But the convertible was allowing you to experience the speed and performance of the M6 in a very open fashion. In 2010 the production of both models was discontinued and they are due to be replaced by the new M6 soon.
Another way of enjoying the BMW M6, albeit a bit slower, is by getting yourself a diecast model of it. This brings us to the 1:18 Maisto BMW M6 Convertible that we are about to review.
As always, you can click on the pictures for a bigger view.
An area where Maisto needs to improve their game is the door handles and the fuel filler flap. They could be better modeled.
Happily this is easy to fix with a drop of matte black paint and a tooth pick. The overall shape of the back end is well modeled and represented.
There are modeled bolts and even inflation vents. What's behind them sadly is a bit disappointing. There are brake disks but they are in no way close to the real car along with the calipers.
This concludes part 1 of our 1:18 Maisto BMW M6 Convertible review.

What's in Your Refrigerator? (And How Much Did It Cost)Robin Aronson
Am I the only one who regularly digs through her crisper only to find a fuzzy green pepper that started out red snuggled into a pile of brown parsley? Every once and a while we manage to eat all the fresh food I buy in a week, and when we do, it's like I've climbed the Mt. Everest of home economics. But, given the food news this week, it's time to buckle down and get serious about meal planning.
Why? Because this year's drought in Russia and the growing demand for beef in China and India, which translates into a growing demand for grain, mean the cost of food is going up. And yet, on the whole, Americans don't use 25 to 50 percent of the food we buy. What's going on in our refrigerators?
According to the Wall Street Journal, food prices for staples like milk, flour, sugar, coffee and beef have all risen sharply in the last year. But it's not just rising food prices that hit the family budget hard, it's buying food that doesn't get eaten. According to Tara Parker Pope writing in the New York Times Well blog, "a family of four that spends $175 a week on groceries squanders more than $40 worth of food each week and $2,275 a year."
A big refrigerator is a big culprit when it comes to food going bad. Food gets lost in the drawers, leftovers get pushed to the back, stuff that could be eaten goes bad.
Ditto shopping without a list, which I do all the time. When you go to the market without a list, you end up buying the same stuff over and over again, so the older food doesn't get used. This is why I have seven cans of chickpeas in my (very small) cupboard and three half eat cucumbers languishing in the fridge.
To make matters worse, when food ends up in a landfill, and about nineteen percent of what ends up in landfills is food waste, it gets turned into methane, a greenhouse gas.
Everyone in a family should avoid processed foods in favor of healthy, fresh foods. But getting the apples home from the market is only one step in the family food chain. I'm newly committed to shopping with a list and cooking a big pot of something (like this!) on Sundays to last the week. How do you manage your food budget? What's your best tip for eating up all the food you buy?

Jomama Jones Radiate Live! is not your average drag act
Near the end of her "comeback" show at the Pillsbury House Theatre, Jomama Jones (show co-creator Daniel Alexander Jones) asks each audience member to look into the eyes of a stranger and make a wish for them. It could come off as a bit of hackneyed motivational-speaker claptrap, but the vibe that Jones and his soulful band have built over the proceeding 90 minutes pushes any of that aside.
It's a special moment, one that helps to make Radiate a unique theatrical event. There's plenty of music sprinkled throughout, and the funky band is tight. More than that, there is Jomama's story, which takes her from the top of the charts in the 1980s to self-exile when she found that the mood in America was getting too harsh and cold for her. The reports she has heard indicate things haven't gotten any better, so Jomama has made a return to see what really is up.
Jones conceived of Jomama Jones back in the 1990s while living and working in the Twin Cities. He brings a fully fledged creation, complete with a hot band and a powerful message about staying human in tough times.
Some back-story: Jomama was a hit songstress during the early 1980s, crafting a string of classic soulful R&B tunes, appearing on the likes of Solid Gold and Soul Train, and even acting in a cult science-fiction film, Sister Soul and the Colonizers from Mars (I so wish I could watch that on Netflix). Her growing dissatisfaction with Reagan-era America didn't sit well with her record company, who demanded too many changes from her new super-aware, fierce persona. She decided to escape the country for Switzerland, where she has lived since (on the side of a mountain, with goats, we learn).
The show, then, is presented as part of not just a comeback tour but a de Tocqueville-like look at America today. From her perch in the Swiss Alps, Jomama had heard that Americans had gotten hard and closed. So she wanted to find out for herself — and see if she could open some minds and hearts on her own.
The evening features a mix of songs (written with Bobby Halvorson, who also plays guitar in the band), stories from Jomama's life, a bit of audience interaction, and words of wisdom from our star.
This isn't a "wink wink, nudge nudge" kind of drag act. Jones's character is full of power and dignity (and looks really good in the dresses and heels crafted by Oana Botez). Sure, there is plenty of humor in the role, but it seems to emerge naturally from the character. When she talks of traveling to the CERN Large Hadron Collider to get them to kindly turn it off (it's keeping her goats up at night, which is keeping her up at night), it feels well within her character, as does her suggestion that if you want to know about the moments after the Big Bang, just close your eyes and listen.
There is a bit of play within every evening's show, depending on who is in the audience. As it happened, singer Aimee Bryant was there for opening night, and she lent her voice to one of the closing numbers and offered a bit of wisdom about "accepting vertically and spreading horizontally," an idea Jones latched on to for the rest of the evening.
Musically, the songs fit well into the soul and funk mode, concentrating mostly on spreading positive vibes. This isn't a traditional musical, or even something like Hedwig and the Angry Inch, where the songs serve to tell the story. Instead, they merge with the narrative to underscore Jomama's basic message: Open your heart, love one another, and be positive to make changes. It's hard to argue with that.

YOUNGEST WRESTLERS – Preschool through 2nd grade with coaches Mason, Randy and Kevin.
OLDER WRESTLERS – 3rd grade through 8th grade with coaches Mason, Randy and Kevin.
NIP AND TUCK – Two El Dorado Springs wrestlers going for a takedown at the El Dorado Springs Tournament.
WRESTLING CLUB COMPLETES SEASON – The El Dorado Springs Wrestling Club has just finished its 6th season. The wrestlers, ages 4-14 participated in practices from November through December. Several also participated in the El Dorado Springs and Butler wrestling tournaments.
Coach Justin Stratton took his wrestlers to three meets in the past two weeks with good results.
"I took 12 boys to the Smith Cotton tournament in Sedalia on Jan. 5. We medaled 10 of the 12 in their individual weight classes."
First place finishes went to Koty Steward, Gage Miller, Kelly Rice, James Dubois, Haden Harper and Tanner Hixson. Ryan Parshall and Logan Perridon took 2nd place. Austin Burlingame and Matt Thurman got 3rd place.
It was a good tournament. They did a lot of things right at this one that we hadn't been doing. Obviously, we have a lot to work on.
They pulled off some pretty good wins.
We haven't gone against a lot of district opponents yet. We are wrestling a lot of bigger schools but we haven't got to see everybody yet.
On Thursday, Jan. 10, the wrestlers went to a tri-meet in Buffalo against Glendale and Buffalo.
Against Buffalo, Austin Burlingame won because they were open at 106. At 120, Logan Perridon pinned his opponent. Josey Smotherman lost at 126. Jacob Boleyn won at 132. Matthew Thurman lost at 138. At 145, we were open and took a loss. At 152, we took a loss. James Dubois, at 160, got a win. We were open at 170. At 182, Ryan Parshall won. At 195, Gage Miller took a loss at 195. We were open at 220. Koty Steward took a loss at 285.
Against Glendale, we lost at 106. We won at 120. We lost at 126. We won at 132. We lost at 138. At 145 we were open. Haden Harper took at loss 152. James Dubois took a loss at 160. We were open at 170. Ryan Parshall got a win at 182. Gage Miller lost at 195. We were open at 220. Koty Steward took a loss at 285.
They were both Class 3. We are Class 1. Honestly, we would have beaten Buffalo if I had those two boys weigh in. Their coach came up and patted me on the back and said, "I'm sure glad your roster wasn't complete tonight."
Nevada turned out good for us. At 106, Austin Burlingame took home 3rd place. Logan Perridon took home 2nd at 120. At 132, Jacob Boleyn took home 3rd. At 138, Colby Charles took 3rd. Tanner Hixson won 2nd at 152. Haden Harper took 2nd at 152. James Dubois took 3rd at 160. Ryan Parshall, at 170, took 3rd. Gage Miller took 1st at 195. At 285 Koty Steward took first.

The prime minister of Aruba says the country's "number one goal" is finding a missing Alabama teenager.
Prime Minister Nelson Oduber says his government is working closely with U.S. authorities to solve the case of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway's disappearance. The Mountain Brook, Ala., girl has been missing for more than a week.
Aruban authorities arrested three men Thursday in connection with the case. Those arrested were two brothers from Suriname and a 17-year-old Dutch student who is the son of a high-ranking Dutch justice official.
Two other men are also in custody in connection with the case.
"Every day you think about, what if? What if she doesn't come home? You know, we get out and look and we eliminate possibilities and maybe we'll find her, or someone will find her, and that's the hope that you hang on to," said Natalee's father, Dave Holloway of Meridian.
Holloway disappeared while on a five-day trip to the island with more than 100 other high school graduates and seven chaperones. She never showed up for the group's return flight.

But make sure it does not cover anywhere outside the boundaries of your property. True, if its trained on a front gate, it may catch a bit of public property. But the police will not be too happy if it is intentionally pointing to your neighbours house!!

People power wins the Cheney Manor biomass battle (From This Is Wiltshire)
People power wins the Cheney Manor biomass battle
5:30am Thursday 13th March 2014 in By Mike Benke, @Michael_Benke
PEOPLE power is being hailed as the victor as controversial plans to build a biomass plant in Cheney Manor have been officially thrown out by the council.
Energy company Pure Green met with fierce opposition from residents, who were concerned the facility, which involved burning wood to create energy, would be damaging to their health.
A decision on the site was due to be made last August but it was deferred as more information was requested. However, after months of attempting to make contact with Pure Green, council officers received no response and so formally disposed of the application on Tuesday.
It means that effectively the matter is now closed and there will be no biomass plant built at Cheney Manor. Residents campaigned hard to stop the application and in November handed over a petition with 700 signatures to the council. Yesterday they were celebrating the decision.
Among them was Terri Jones, 60, of Bruce Street, who thanked everyone who had helped in the battle.
She said: "I believe I speak for most residents when saying 'common sense prevails' following the announcement that the application is finally disposed of. We're proud of Swindon and it's progressive thinking. This application was a huge step backwards.
"Many people have been involved in opposing this. Most importantly, many, many residents in the immediate area, all those who signed petitions, turned up at the Civic Offices to have their voices heard and numbers counted.
"I would just like to say to those in power, 'please take into account your voters', and council tax payers' welfare when considering applications'. After all, you're the caretakers of the town and its residents, so take care when considering such matters for the town, its residents and their interests."
Councillor Des Moffatt (Lab, Rodbourne Cheney), who originally helped bring the matter to the public's attention, said: "This is a victory for the people. It is a great result for everyone who fought it as they were concerned about their health. It shows that if people get together and do not allow themselves to get deflected from the main issue they can win."
Coun Dale Heenan (Con, Covingham and Dorcan), the cabinet member for strategic planning, said: "Throughout the planning application by Pure Green, residents have been critical of the quality of the application and this was a facility that was not wanted or needed in Cheney Manor.
"We asked residents to trust the planning officers to follow the correct procedures which they have done which means there will be no future discussion on the application.
"Residents and ward councillors ran an effective and non-political campaign against this biomass plant which was successful."
Hippofan, the parent company of Pure Green, was not available for comment.

Bit presumptious of the Councillors to say that there will be no plant here. If Pure Green want to reapply they can and they don't have a refusal to argue against. I'm not convinced this is the last of this.

Who's ready for football? I've seen this on a few websites and figured we could bring it here for the summer.
It's a countdown to the first day of the football season (September 1st), and today marks just 100 days to go. Every day, people post pictures and stuff with the number of days remaining. A lot of the time, it's jerseys of players. Mostly it would be from Cyclones past and present. I figure it's something to do for the summer while we wait for Tulsa to come to town.
Just 100 days until Cyclone football!

Zenfolio Upgrades
I ran into the 24mb file size limit with my unlimited Zenfolio account, so I emailed them asking when they were going to increase file size limits to accommodate the latest higher resolution sensors.
The answer was "We do not have any immediate plans to change the largest allowed file size. You may want to consider upgrading to the Premium Business account, as this level allows for files up to 48MB each."
This was 10 days ago. Two days ago, they increased file size limits to 36MB for basic and unlimited accounts and 64MB for premium and premium business accounts.
Sweet! (...even if development and customer support aren't communicating)
