The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), which was initially launched in November 2011 for industrial, business and public-sector organizations, is now open to homeowners, private landlords, social landlords, and self-builders. The scheme pays participants to use renewable energy to heat their homes and is expected to boost revenue in the household solar panel installation market while at the same time reducing carbon emissions. Households adopting renewable energy technologies will receive payment per unit of energy according to technology type. Domestic RHI is estimated to generate about £13 billion ($22.2 billion) of investment in new, low-carbon heating systems between 2014 and 2020.

District 51 school board members finalized 2011-12 student fee schedules Tuesday evening.
Twenty new fees will be introduced at the high school level next year, including fees for art class journals and orchestra at Central, a new online class fee at Fruita Monument High, and fees for student planners, ACT preparation classes and student ID card replacements at both of those schools.
Grand Junction High School will add a jazz band fee, a piano class fee and a fee for beginning acting class. Theater arts, art sketch book and athletic sticker fees will debut at Palisade High.
Fruita 8/9 School will have new fees for band camp, marching band shoes and gloves, and band uniform cleaning. The school will also ask students to pay the full cost of going on trips with choir or band.
Yearbook fees and some parking and class fees will increase for high school students, while fees for technology at Grand Junction High and band camp and a band trip at Central High will decrease this fall and bowling and the Work Keys fees at Central will disappear.
Student fees for athletics and extracurricular activities such as knowledge bowl and speech and debate will increase by $40 to $110, as proposed by district executives earlier this spring, and middle school athletic fees will increase by $20 to $50.
Yearbook and seventh-grade science lab fees will increase at Bookcliff Middle School and the school's outdoor education and keyboarding fees will be eliminated. Orchard Mesa Middle School will take away a language arts fee but add a $15 swimming fee. Fruita Middle School will charge $9 to replace math workbooks, up from $1.50 this year.
New fees at Mount Garfield Middle School will include a $25 fee for show choir and a $3 lock fee for gym students who already have a uniforms.
The school also will increase the fee for sixth-grade science lab.
East Middle School students will have a new $10 fee for guitar rentals, while sixth-grade art fees will decrease from $6 to $5 and fees for journalism, media arts, and arts and crafts will disappear.
Sixteen elementary schools will see at least some changes in fees. Loma Elementary will introduce a $5 headphone fee for first- through fifth-grades, Wingate will eliminate its $200 fee for an annual trip to Denver for fourth-grade students, Rim Rock Elementary will begin charging a $5 bus fee for second-graders, and kindergartners at Orchard Avenue and Taylor elementary schools will have new supply fees.

You obviously did not read the exemptions, did you? Yes, I know the NPS and a lot of other federal buildings, THINK, and would like you to believe, that they are off limits, when in fact, if you bother to read 18 USC 930 you will see that the only federal buildings that are absolutely off limits to
firearms (as by the State law of the state they are in, no exceptions) are federal court houses...read the LAW, not what someone wrote as a comment in FAQ.
This does not apply to PO property as that is under a totally different law and 18 USC 930 does not cover the PO, or the Army Corp of Engineers property.
This stuff reminds me of the WI FAQ on their new concealed carry law...the LE community wanted "must inform", MUST INFORM WAS NOT written into the LAW, but you would swear it was if you read the FAQ.

Working over the weekend in my garden has me thinking about the best way to grow a successful community. Just as my tomato plants need the right mixture of time, water and healthy organic soil amendments so too does a community need the right organization and structure.
One of the classic pitfalls in growing a new community is not allowing it to grow naturally. We typically see this expressed as a desire to split the community into many small, highly focused discussions that mirror the organization or product structure in some way. When this happens, the community fails to thrive because the activity isn't concentrated and
new members aren't sufficiently confident that their posts will be answered and so they look to other channels.
By concentrating activity in fewer boards, your community has a chance to grow more organically, and eventually map to different product lines. We recommend that you give this process time and that each board has a minimum of 5-10 posts per board per day. In fact, we recommend that a board have an established pattern of about 40 posts per day before it is split into two separate boards.
When your community is allowed to grow organically, it will have an opportunity to thrive and gather enough critical mass to be self sustaining over time. When this is done properly you will be able harvest a bounty of benefits from your community.
I love this metaphor Erik!
Definitely "starting small" is the right way to go with your structure - then get as many folks in to participate as you can and let their content show you the right ways to grow over time.
Those vegetables look delicious by the way!

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Activist investor Nelson Peltz will no longer push for a deal between Mondelez (MDLZ) and PepsiCo (PEP)Mondelez shares fell 2.6% to $34.34 on Tuesday. Shares of PepsiCo rose 0.4% to $82.53.
Peltz, now a member of the Mondelez board, once pushed for a merger of the maker of cookies such as Oreo and Chips Ahoy and the Frito-Lay business of PepsiCo. A Peltz spokeswoman told The Associated Press that Pepsi wasn't interested in a deal.
In a recent note to investors, JPMorgan analyst Ken Goldman said Peltz joining the Mondelez board is a way for the snack producer to avoid a proxy fight. Such a proxy vote could have seen CEO Irene Rosenfield and other board members "voted off the island" because of the company's recent disappointing performance, the analyst said.
Mondelez was once part of Kraft (KRFT), but split from the food giant to focus more on snack foods.
TheStreet Ratings team rates MONDELEZ INTERNATIONAL INC as a Buy with a ratings score of B-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate MONDELEZ INTERNATIONAL INC (MDLZ) a BUY. This is driven by several positive factors, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, increase in net income, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, solid stock price performance and impressive record of earnings per share growth. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow."

Leffot introduce us to yet more fine footwear. Edward Green make some of the best shoes around but their Top Drawer collection takes it to another level. This is where 'smart' becomes 'snazzy'. Yeah, we used the word 'Snazzy'. Made with a more slimline feel these feature 'a tighter and pronounced beveled waist, spade soles and finely turned edges.' The Cuban heel goes against our current love for all things chunky but this is all about elegance and these guys do it just right.

Four former members of the Buffalo Bills have told The Buffalo News that there was a bounty system in place during the tenure of former coach Gregg Williams.
Former safety Cory Wire and three other defensive players, who wished to remain anonymous, told the newspaper that a bounty system was in place. Two of the players said cash bonuses were in place for "knockout shots" that sent opponents out of games.
"There was financial compensation," Wire told the newspaper.
Williams was the Bills' coach from 2001-03. He then became defensive coordinator of the Washington Redskins, where allegations of a bounty system were reported by The Washington Post. After losing his job with the Redskins in 2008, and after a one-year stop as defensive coordinator with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Williams was hired by the New Orleans Saints, who are currently under investigation by the NFL for a similar bounty system.
Williams is currently the defensive coordinator of the St. Louis Rams.
Wire told The Buffalo News that there was an environment of "malicious intent" when he arrived in Buffalo in 2002.
"There were rewards," Wire told the newspaper. "There never was a point where cash was handed out in front of the team. But surely, you were going to be rewarded. When somebody made a big hit that hurt an opponent, it was commended and encouraged."
Wire said he never received a bounty reward and he didn't remember how the payment structure was set up or how much cash was distributed for those kind of hits.
Two of the players who requested anonymity specifically mentioned "knockout shots" but didn't elaborate. The other player who requested anonymity told the newspaper the reward system was run more by his teammates at the time than by Williams' staff.
"It was talked about," that player told the newspaper. "I think it happens a lot of places, and it's been going on for a really long time."

I remember when everyone turned to XPS in order to "save a tree" and help the ecology. I remember when everybody turned to polyunsaturated fat to save themselves from lard. I remember when we lowered the speed limits because we needed to conserve gasoline. I remember when leaders of government and industry said, "you cannot run our nation's economy on just consumerism." I remember when newspaper articles were edited for content and grammar. Alas, all those useless memories.

Lloyd [author]
Melanie Lloyd
became a boxing fan in late November 1986, when she saw
Mike Tyson win his first World Title against Trevor
Berbick. After that, her life was never the same
again. Since then, through writing her Sweet
Fighting Man books Melanie has become the best known
female boxing writer in Britain today. By her own
admission, she is practically married to boxing.
She is passionate about the sport and those who
participate in it, and she has a way of getting her
interview subjects to open their hearts. Perhaps
that is down to the woman's touch; who knows? She
is currently working on Sweet Fighting Man - Volume III,
so watch this space!
Hello and welcome to my website. Since writing
Sweet Fighting Man, and the subsequent Volume II
(published October 2007), it seems that the concept has
really caught on. The purpose of my books is to
give the reader an insight into what boxing is all
about, from the World champions to the journeymen who
play a big part in keeping the sport alive today.
Inside, you
will find profiles of the boxers included in both books,
some excerpts from each chapter, together with exclusive
pictures of the launches and some personal anecdotes on
the creation of the Sweet Fighting Man series. I
would also like to take this opportunity to share with
you some of my experiences of life in the boxing world,
and what a wonderful world it is!
"Over the years I have watched this author
'mature' in boxing terms. Melanie Lloyd's Sweet
Fighting Man - Volume II draws you in and, once you pick
it up, you don't want to put it down. It grabs
As in the original Sweet Fighting Man, Melanie's obvious
enthusiasm and compassion for the people who do their
thing in the ring comes through clearly. She has
risen literally from the competent six rounder level to
title class. Because she cares so much, it shows
in the writing.
Nice one, Melanie!"

Reviewed Jan. 2, 2013
"Oh my god the dijon mustard and honey tastes in this dish are fabulous! I made this for my friend and I on one of our wine nights, definitely going to make it again. I added a little extra mustard and honey. Also since I'm not fond of mushroom I subbed in asparagus and served it over rotini noodles, SO GOOD!"

This is not the shot I wanted. But really I only had since Saturday to put this together. I would have loved to have more time to work on it, maybe next year.
Special thanks to Carah, Malachi Delacot, Chakaru11, Dennywood, DarkNinja13, Eiries, VictoriaG, KGT, Divine Avenger, Pujangga, and Kpnut who's characters appear in this selection of shots. Now I need to run and get some beer for Fufu so he'll stop wrecking my apartment.
Accompanying music for this could be Magic of Love by Two Steps From Hell. It sure beats Angels singing.

Ford Expedition Maintenance and Repair
tgohn Posts: 1I have a 2003 expedition with 152,000 miles on it. At highway speeds (60-70 mph) when I put the gas pedal to the floor the transmission downshifts to far. The tack jumps to 4000 rpms and the truck does not accelerate. If I let off on the gas a little the transmission upshifts to the correct (passing) gear. Any idea whats going on?

I bought it new in late 2005 and I dont know why the leather would crack. In the front seats it has gotten so bad that its already torn! The foam is exposed. Its ridiculous. Should Ford replace it (it has more miles than the orignal warranty covers)? Please help. Email me if you have this problem?!?!

Did you ever get that vibration problem taken care of?? Having same problem on 1999 expedition.
We recently discovered the keypad code in our expedition (The whole under the glovebox if you contort yourself... thing really works!). The keypad comes in handy because we don't have an alarm transponder. And we don't have an owners manual. What are the features it does. We so far realized that
If you input the code then press 3, all doors unlock;
If you input the code then press 5, the rear glass opens up;
Is that all the keypad does or is there more?

Hi, I found this info on another Expedition forum site, hope it helps !
"I just bought a used 03 Expedition, and didn't have the factory keyless entry code.
After, some google searches, I've found the location on mine. It was located on the passenger side, under the dash. You have to remove the passanger floor foot panel, look towards the fender and you'll see the fuse box. Next to the upper left corner of the fuse box, there is another smaller black box with a white sticker, look for the 5 digit code. This was my factory code.
Others have posted that it's on the drivers side, but that is for 02 and older."
Take it easy.
They stopped using the sticker in 04. now the key code is only available from your dealer.
Yeh, but Autoboy16 has an 03 Expedition, that's why i answered him with my response ! :shades:
yup. i was misinformed! :blush: . But what about my question on what the keypad does!

Im FINALLY, after months and months of complaining about the spongy rack on my '03 Expy, the dealer is finally giving in a warrentying a new rack. Only problem i have is trust. They almost didnt do it until i complained and complained and showed a STACK of papers of work orders for this complaint that ive brought i to multiple dealerships. My question is. . . how can i be sure they actually put in a NEW rack and not a rack from another truck or a quick-fix job???? Is there something i can ask for for proof? Even on the reciept im sure it will have a part number but how can i be sure that part went into MY truck???
Please give me some advice ASAP. . .
THANKS GUYS :confuse:
alwaysfords2 Posts: 339I assume you are talking about the p/s rack? I think the '03s use a 'new and improved' ratio rack - it is a slower rack than other years. Maybe you could convince them to order the rack from a newer model year? I think they went back to the original ratio in '04.
Hi All-
Have a question. I have a 2004 Eddie Bauer Expedition. Whenever I close the liftgate (back door), there's a rattle around the door handle/license plate area. However, everything appears to be secure. I cannot make the door rattle when it's open. I have no idea what might be lose or not engaging properly when I close the door.
The door closes tight and the rattle only occurs during closing, not after the door is closed. Has anyone else experienced this? I guess I expect a solid "thunk" when I close the door. It's more of a nuisance than anything else, but I am fishing to see if it's a warranty item since I still have about 400 miles left on the warranty for this puppy.
Thanks in advance for your help.
The steering rack is what im talking about. . .
i just dont want them to take one from another truck or do a quick fix on mine and then warrenty it and collect the $$$ and say they put a new one in mine .. isnt there like a "box top" or like a serial # i can get for the "new" one they put in mine so i can use that if i have a problem with it????? I just dont wanna leave thinking, ok, i got me a new rack. . .and then have problems with it also.
ahightower TXPosts: 539Maybe it's just your license plate.
well, i got my expy back today after spending a week in the shop for the groaning in the 4x4 hubs and the steering rack. . .
The groaning is so loud now that i can feel the vibration thru the floorboard. .
they replaced the steering gear and yes on turning is a bit tighter, but on the straight away, same amount of dead zone/play in the steering wheel. . .no change there.
i have a STACK of work orders and work thats been done on the Expy since i bought it 8 months ago. . im so over it, i cant take it anymore. . .i have a huge loan with 4+ years to pay on it. . im not gonna go thru this for 4 more years. .
they better be able to just take it back. . . its not gonna be pretty when i go there on monday. . ugh. . hate to do it cause i love my Expy, but this just validates fords bad reputation and that the dealerships cant and WONT find and fix certain problems.
I own a 2006 King Ranch Expedition. It has 7,000 miles on it and today I heard a loud rattle on/around the tailgate. I secured the license plate and the dealer plate frame around it, but it still rattles. I will take it in tomorrow, but I think there is a noise buffer - made of plastic - that runs up and down along the inside of the rear frame - it is about 20 inches long on the left and right hand side of the inside entry way. When the tailgate closes, it rests against these two side panels and I think they can buffer out any rattling.
When I close the tailgate and then press gently on frame I can hear a rubbing, or clicking noise, on the left side right where the door rests against this plastic strip that is attached onto the inside well of the Exp. frame.
You can find these two bugger strips just above the rear tail lights on either side of the inside frame.
I will ask about your problem tomorrow too - I reckon the tailgate weights in between 60 to 100 lbs (??) so it needs to fit just right otherwise it will rattle.
One of the big challenges SUV makers had - easily by the late 90s' - was dealing with the car-like demands SUV buyers were making. Big SUVs have add-ons that weigh alot and the components that take up space. Over time, these things bend, shift, and even warp (ie., inside plastic door panels).
Thus far I have only had to replace a rear passenger door window frame strip (a rubber band that seals the space between the inside frame and window). I see, however, that the driver side exterior strip - on the top right hand corner - sits up a little high (as in it wasn't flush to the car frame when they installed it).
All this to say, I think if you want to buy a good SUV, it is worth walking around the vehicle and equally so, paying close attention to the inside, with a view to picking out those things that are going to warp, crack, shift, and rattle.
Thanks for the info James. I know it's not the license plate. I removed it, and it still rattles only when I close it. There's no road rattle. It's just a rattle when the door is closed. And everything seems to fit, so it's more of a nuisance than anything else. But I'll take a look at the stuff you mentioned.
Thanks for your help!
Dear Bronsonb,
Just a follow up to the rattling tailgate. My own situation appears to be resolved. The mechanics placed a load of what looks like colorless grease on the two side latches on the tailgate - when you close it they connect with the main frame via two latch counterparts and a cork sized stopper. They also tightened some screws, but I can't see where exactly. Lastly, they may have added more glue to the two latches that attach to the rear window on the inside from the tailgate frame (you have to look underneath when you pop open the back window to see where the hinge affixes).
They said uts was standard practice on a rattle like this. My own hunch with your rattle is that it has to do with the top hinges (either on the window or the tailgate), as opposed to a feature that helps the door sit left to right - just thinking about what the physics on opening and closing.
You may also want to get an estimate - if it isn't more than tightening and slathering the back door in grease (geez, I thought about putting the groceries in and all this guck - I joked that maybe they should have tried bubblegum - but it looks fine and the ride is quiet and I don't expect to get the interior messed up.)
In short, maybe they will only charge labor (i.e., a half hour), or you may want to tinker with it yourself.
As a side note, I checked out the 2007 Exp. EL Eddie Bauer and it has a power rear door using a single hydraulic arm on the driver's side.
I got a trade in estimate on the King Ranch, currently with $44,000 outstanding - with a dealer trade in value of $23,000. This is below the bluebook by about 2k, but it shows the rapid depreciation - explained in part by the 2007 new model year.
In any event, I am happy with the Exp. and frankly prefer the 4 speed to a 6. I can't say owning this beast surprises me because I knew what I was getting into from the get go - we love the space and safety. Also, I bought a massive warranty (and thus the decision to get it new) - it is a combo of the manufacturer, dealer, and a private company. Because I have relied on it twice already (for this rattle and a warped strip on the interior), I have no regrets.
Besides, how else can you move thousands of pounds of steel off a red light with car-like performance. In short, I hedged on all this and can't complain. You may be able to get a deal on the labor for a rattle - it shouldn't require a new part as near as I can see.
Good luck with getting the rattle fixed!
Looks like you and I are the only ones posting anything on this board :P . Thanks for the details on the rattle. It's bugging me from just a "what the heck is doing that" perspective. I'll take your advice and take a look at it.
The Expy just went out of warranty last week when it topped 36K miles. I don't have the ESP, so it's all on me now.
I just bought it used in October, and I have been very happy with it. I paid $19,500 for a 2004 Eddie Bauer Expedition with all the bells and whistles except navigation. It was the best price I could find for one with what I wanted. I spent a lot of time on ebay trying to get a deal, but in the end, those cars were going for what I could pay locally. And why buy off ebay sight unseen if you can get one locally and test drive it.
But truth be told, I bought this one from a dealer in Mobile, Alabama that my dad has bought several cars from. He deals in high end late model foreign cars and received this Expy as a trade for a used Lexus. He cut me a nice deal and tossed in a new set of rims and tires. It had come with 22" chrome "dubs", which I didn't want to keep (not to mention the fact that the tire pressure monitoring system won't work with chrome wheels). So I sold the 22" rims and tires to my neighbor who sold them to someone else on CraigsList.
Anyway, as you noted, it's great for hauling stuff. I've used it twice already to haul lumber for two bookcase jobs at our house. It was so nice to fit a half sheet of plywood easily in the back laying flat!
My boys LOVE the SUV. My 2.5 year old can barely say "Expedition" but he says it every time we head to school. It's nice too in that my 6 year old sits in the "way back" and the 2.5 year old in the middle row. So no fights. Plus that DVD player and wireless headphones have been such a plus for long trips (two so far). We don't let them use it around town.
I've been averaging 15.5 MPG with mostly city driving, but we managed to get 20 MPG on our last road trip.
Strangely, I also find myself driving more slowly than with my old Passat wagon. I seldom go over the speed limit, but it could be because this thing weighs a bunch, and I don't want to waste gas just getting her going.
Anyway, thanks again for all the info!

debie Posts: 1Hello, I'm new to this forum. I came looking for an answer to a problem we are having with our 04 Eddie Bauer Expedition.
It is a new problem to this new season of rain (Fall 06), never happened before.
When I switch from 2wd to 4awd there is an initial "clank" and I feel the vibration under my feet. Then there is no noise at all, even when I switch it back to 2wd. But, if I then switch back over to 4awd I hear a "clank" again.
Anyone have any suggestions?
zman3 Posts: 857The fact that it never happened before may mean that this is a different issue. However, I can describe the TSB I had done to mine, but unfortunately I do not remember the TSB number itself.
The clank in my front end was due to the fact that the two half shafts driving the front wheels were turning in different directions when in 2WD. The clank is the sound of the one half shaft changing directions as the 4Auto is engaged. The fix was to install an "S spring" or something like that which kept the half shafts moving in the same direction as each other when in 2WD. Once they are moving in the same direction there is no noise at all when 4Auto is engaged.
I think if you describe the TSB to a service advisor they should be able to find it. I think the TSB updated at least once since I had mine done, but I think it came out in early 2003.
j_hubes Posts: 1I bought it brand new in July of '05 and I've loved it since day 1. Last summer on my way to work the engine started running extremely rough and the check engine light came on. I planned to drop it off at the dealership the next day, but when I started it up at work to take it home I got a ton of white smoke out the tail pipe, and it spit water when I hit the gas. I had it towed the 40 miles to the dealership, and they ended up changing the O2 sensor, all the spark plugs, and some of the fuel injectors. Everyone who saw the smoke and spitting water said it was the head gasket (including the service guy at the dealership), but in the end the dealership said that it wasn't. Again, this was over the summer (July or August) and I was at 35k miles.
A week ago I started to notice that it was idling rough (though not as bad) and then the check engine light came on. I left it at the dealer and they said it was a second o2 sensor, and the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. I'm at 39k miles right now and it's starting to bother me that I'm already starting to have these kind of problems. Is there a reason the O2 sensors are failing at this rate? I get all my services on time, and 99% of my miles are highway. It's pretty much running under ideal conditions. Any suggestions or ideas?
parisez Posts: 1I have a 99 expedition, and when it rains, it runs very rough and stalls out. You have to use one foot on the break and one on the gas just to keep it running. Has anyone else had this problem and know the fix?????
Is there any way to disable the horn when it honks when you lock/unlock the vehicle with the keyfob?
You should never hear the horn when you hit the unlock button.
If you hit the lock button once, all the doors lock in silent mode.
If you hit the lock button twice, you get one horn chirp if all doors are closed securely, two horn chirps if one or more doors is ajar.
cluper Posts: 4I have 275/60/17 size tires on my wife's exp. I just bought falkens and my gas milage went up some.
nickpo Posts: 1I have noticed after driving my 2004 EB Expedition that it makes this "thud" noise in the rear of the vehicle after parking and turning off the ignition. It usually occurs within 10-15 minutes after shutting off the vehicle.
If you have ever had a thick cookie sheet in the oven and set it to preheat...when the metal hetas up it makes a "thud." It is that same kinf od sound only significantly louder.
Seems to come from both sides at the rear of the vehicle. There is nothing leaking and mechanically the car drives fine.
It in 2w drive at the moment...although this occurs in all settings. Any suggestiongs?
I am only hitting the button once and it honks everytime! It's so annoying and it brings attention. I push the lock button once and it honks once. I hit the unlock button once and it honks twice! :confuse: :mad:
Not some aftermarket remote start thingy?

TWINSBURG TOWNSHIP -- The Ravenna Road bridge over Tinkers Creek may be replaced in 2014 due to the bridge's age, poor condition and structural deficiencies.
Summit County engineers are considering two options for a new bridge at Routes 91 and 82, having already ruled out repairs as not cost efficient. One option would cost $2.5 million, the second, and early recommendation from the Summit County Engineer's Office, about $1.85 million, according to Geordi Kissos, Summit County project engineer.
The rebuild would be funded by the Summit County Engineer's Office and the Ohio Department of Transportation, with no charge to the township.
"We had an extensive preliminary engineering study," Kissos said Dec. 4. "The study investigated two different types of bridge replacements and a no-build alternative. A rehabilitation [provides] typically 30 years for a bridge and a replacement typically 50 years of service life. We ruled out ... [repairing] the existing bridge and we studied two different bridge types."
The two options include a $2.5 million culvert-style arch of soil with a roadway paved on top; and a $1.85 million galvanized steel beam bridge. Kissos said the steel beam bridge has been recommended by his team -- and also received a positive response from citizens during a Nov. 20 meeting at Township Hall.
The public comment period for the project expires Dec. 10, after which the project will progress to the final design phase.
"At the public meeting we had on Nov. 20, the [galvanized steel beam] bridge was well received by the general public," Kissos said. "Once we have comments from the public, we will proceed with [the rebuild]."
While both new bridge designs would provide a longer-term solution, the steel beam option is estimated to cost less than the culvert design by about $650,000.
"There's a considerable difference in cost," Kissos said. "We did our best we could to provide an aesthetically pleasing bridge but a wise use of taxpayer money."
Twinsburg Township Trustee Jim Balogh said that the trade-off for these savings could be a noisier bridge during times of heavy traffic.
"I think it'll be noisier than the other bridge that they had proposed, which is a series of concrete arches that were then filled with earth and it would be much more quiet if you were in that neighborhood," Balogh said. "That's just my observation."
Construction is expected to start in early May 2014 and end October of that year. Motorists will be able use Old Mill Road, and Routes 91 and 82 to bypass the construction during the six-month project.
The current bridge, which was first constructed as a one-lane bridge in 1917 and widened in 1932, will be torn down entirely. Balogh added that replacement of the bridge is long overdue.
"I think it's really good they're getting it done when they get it done because the bridge really was nearing the end of its life," Balogh said. "I'm concerned that it took this long to get this far and we're still a year away from this thing being done."

I am going to vote as soon as the polls open on Tuesday. I will vote with my son on my hip. I will vote next to my Mother. I will be voting to reelect President Barack Obama.
I wish I could say that I could understand how someone could vote a different party line, but after the life I have lead I honestly get sad to think that someone could not be pro women, pro health care, pro food stamp assistance, pro equal pay, pro education, pro exploring new kinds of energy…
America is a fantastically diverse and beautiful nation and one of the things that we do best is help each other in times of crisis. Look at how we are all invested in helping the most recent natural disaster victims in the Northeast – we shine at giving a hand.
Except when we don't.
Sometimes the only help a person or family can get will come from the government. Whether it is in the form of college assistance, housing assistance, food assistance, there are programs in place that do their best to prevent our neighbors from hitting the bottom.
Reelecting President Obama ensures that so many of the programs that saved my family can continue to save families in the future. It makes me hopeful that we can be a nation of peace. It makes me feel confident about W's future.
Wherever your heart leads you to vote, and I do believe that we vote with our heart, I hope you will at least pause and think about my family and how thankful we are to have had the trampoline of assistance when we needed it.

Im sorry to dissapoint you but... this rifle is excellent! You haven't bought it yet? What are you waiting for? The Crosman 760 exceeded all my expectations by far, and certainly im hard to convince when talking about air rifles. The price of it here in Mexico is not cheap, but anyways the rifle's worth it. I wouldn't think that a smooth bore would fire that accurate. The barrel is very well made and is the best part of the rifle, as it should be on all rifles. If you were thinking of buying a Crosman 210o, dont do it, instead, get a 760, 760 its better, its a repeater for both pellets and bbs, the barrel is well attached to the rest of the gun, the handling is very good, and its a lighter and smaller rifle. Very maneuverable and versatile. If you take care of the rifle, it should last very long.
The rear sight is non adjustable for windage, but strangely it is well calibrated. I think there in the factory they put good attention to the final details like this.
For the plastic matter, i think the rifle is well designed and constructed, im not a fanatic of the metal or plastic recievers (maybe the best is a combination of both), in the present the plastics are very reliable.
I could talk for hours about this rifle, but fot the moment i guess its enough. I think this is one of the best Crosman products.

Emmett's (Bringing Down the Moon )cuddly tale stars a mother and father duck who lovingly watch over the five eggs in their nest until hatching time arrives. But when only four ducklings break out of their shells, Mother and Father Duck assure the feathered siblings that baby number five will arrive "in its own time." The patient parents never pressure their fifth-born to keep up with the others ("We'll call her Ruby... because she's small and precious," says her mother). And though she's late to the party in many respects, Ruby eventually catches up and soars beyond her siblings on bold wings. The sweet, comforting tone of Emmett's text will be as welcome as a favorite blanket at bedtime. Bearing a resemblance to Leo the Late Bloomer , the story conveys the mother's knowing, steadfast support of Ruby, even as Father Duck has a few doubts ("Will it ever hatch?" he asks, "Will she ever swim?"). Harry's (the Noisy Farm Babies board books; the Ella the Elephant board books) pastel illustrations, featuring fuzzy line-edges and warm, inviting tones, capture the brightness of a sunny day at the pond. And her fluffy ducklings are irresistible, sporting downy yellow feathers and wide orange beaks. All ages. (Feb.)

Seattle • People living in the path of a deadly Washington state landslide had virtually no warning before a wall of mud, trees and other debris thundered down the mountain. Some of the homeowners didn't even know the hillside could give way at any time.
Unlike the warning systems and elaborate maps that help residents and officials prepare for natural disasters such as floods and hurricanes, there's no national system to monitor slide activity and no effort underway to produce detailed nationwide landslide hazard maps.
The U.S. Geological Survey doesn't track or inventory slide areas on a national scale, despite an ambitious plan to do so more than a decade ago when Congress directed it to come up with a national strategy to reduce landslide losses.

Sleazy industrial groove band Revolting Cocks are currently on tour to support the release of their new album, 'Sex-O Olympic-O,' (which came out in March) and their upcoming remix album 'Sex-O MiXXX-O' (out Sept. 29). But band founder, Al Jourgensen, is already thinking ahead to the next studio record. In fact, the disc, 'Got Cock?,' is already mixed, mastered and ready to be released in May 2010.
"The cover looks like the 'Got Milk?' ads," Jourgensen tells Noisecreep. "It's got the same moustache, only with a different ingredient on the moustache."
Uncle Al is one step ahead of our next question: "See, we've got a plan to get it into the stores. Remember [the Rolling Stones album] 'Sticky Fingers,' which had a zipper [on the fly of a pair of jeans]? We're having a denim 501 cover with three buttons that you have to undo to get to the chick with Revco jism on her upper lip. We thought very long and hard — no pun intended — about this, and that's our packaging."
Jourgensen worked on the album with Revolting Cocks members Sin Joshua Bradford, Sin Quirin, Clayton Worbeck, Aaron Rossi and Murv Douglas on and off over the past year, and finished the final mixes in August. For metal fans who wished 'Sex-O' was a little raunchier and a lot heavier, 'Got Cock?' should provide the perfect fix.
"It's waaaaay harder," Jourgensen says. "I just played it to our own opening bands today, Blown Load and Left Spine Down, and they're freaking out. They're asking me, 'Well, can we do the next tour with you guys as well?' We sound like some crazy '70s metal band. It's actually better than 'Sex-O' and I actually thought 'Sex-O' was one of the best records I've ever done."
As with 'Sex-O,' Jourgensen produced 'Got Cock?' and provided some songwriting advice. "I wrote the stuff that sounds like the Stones," he jokes. "I'm the old guy, so I bring in all the '70s influences."
Songs on 'Got Cock?' include 'Trojan Horse,' 'Filthy Senoritas,' 'Dykes,' 'Bitch Addictive,' 'Fuck Money,' 'Juice' ("It's in the persona of Gaydolf Hitler singing about 'The Juice,' Jourgensen says), a cover of 2 Live Crew's 'Me so Horny' and 'Poke a Hot Ass.'
"That one's about George Michael getting arrested for [performing a lewd act] at Will Rogers Park in LA," says Jourgensen.
Revolting Cocks plan to tour for 'Got Cock?' in the last half of 2010. According to Jourgensen, it will be the second in a five-year contract he has with the current lineup.
"These guys can do as many records as they want in five years, and then they have to hand off the band to another three knuckleheads that they meet along their travels," he explains. "That way Revco stays in perpetuity. We're kind of like the industrial Menudo."
