Because our sites and customers are complicated, figuring out how to solve for the gap between intention and action requires the analysis of millions of variables, which can include a broad range of possibilities like how fast page content loads and the size and location of Buy buttons. For example, when our analysis at Borders highlighted issues with search, we followed up with a question about what would make our site search more useful. We found that using words rather than icons for some search results display options, like "cover view" or "list view," made a significant difference in customers' successful use of our search results.Tom Peters at Library Journal shares some thoughts on the Future of Reading (LJ):
Reading always has been multisensory. The look, feel, smell, and heft of a printed book all contribute to the overall experience of reading. Reading probably will become more sensational throughout this century, as multimedia information objects become intertwined into digital texts. While visual reading (in private, in a comfy chair) may be considered by many to be the platonic ideal of reading, perhaps the growth areas of reading in this century will rely on other senses. The eyes don't have it. Tactile reading, such as Braille, and auditory reading of audiobooks already have achieved prominence—Braille among the blind and audiobooks throughout the general population—and olfactory reading, drawing on our sense of smell, and gustatory reading, based on our sense of taste, may not be outlandishly impossible. Digesting a good book could become literal. Romance writer Jude Deveraux already has embraced these ideas. As Motoko Rich writes in the New York Times (9/30/09), "Ms. Deveraux said she envisioned new versions of books enhanced by music or even perfume. 'I'd like to use all the senses,' she said."Information Today looks at a recent implementation of semantic search at LexisNexis (IT):
Reports of the death of reading are premature. Readers are resilient and inventive. What worries me is not so much that reading will become an attenuated, marginalized field of practice but that the developmental paths of librarianship and reading will diverge in the 21st century. We may wander off from our power base, or it will evolve away from us.
LexisNexis has seriously addressed this "black box" perception of semantic search. Users enter search input text of up to 32,000 characters-perhaps substantial content of a target patent document. That input can be searched immediately (feeling lucky?), a process that may take several minutes, or it can be sent for semantic analysis prior to carrying out the search. The technology analyzes input sentences or search terms and creates a set of 20 weighted search terms presented as a "QueryCloud" for review and editing by the searcher. Terms can be replaced with alternative terms, and weighting may be adjusted from 4 for a mandatory concept in the search results; 3, 2, and 1 for varied prominence in the search results; 0 for an ignored concept; to -1 for a concept prohibited in search results. When the user is satisfied with the search concepts and weighting, the semantic search is conducted with the search statement corresponding to the terms of the QueryCloud.Interesting book review by Elizabeth Kolbert in The New Yorker on a book by Cass Sunstein regarding how interests align in media (TNY)
And what holds true for the news sites is even more so for the blogosphere, where it's possible to spend hours surfing without ever entering new waters. Conservative blogs like Power Line almost always direct visitors to other conservative blogs, like No Left Turns, while liberal blogs like Daily Kos guide them to others that are also liberal, like Firedoglake. A study of the twenty most-visited blogs in each camp in the months leading up to the 2004 Presidential election found that more than eighty-five per cent of their links were to other blogs with similar politics. When the study's authors charted the links in graphic form, they came up with a picture of non-interaction—a dense scribble on one side, a dense scribble on the other, and only the thinnest strands connecting the two. In 2006, Sunstein performed his own study of fifty political sites. He found that more than four-fifths linked to like-minded sites but only a third linked to sites with an opposing viewpoint. Moreover, many of the links to the opposing side's sites were offered only to illustrate how "dangerous, dumb, or contemptible the views of the adversary really are."Traveling for Books: Rare Books Don't Always Live in Glass Cases (NYT):

But these books are not just for scholars. They are also on view for the average visitor, albeit one with a decided interest in the sciences who makes a pilgrimage to western Missouri, where the sprawling red-brick library sits majestically on a 14-acre urban arboretum just a five-minute walk from Kansas City's Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
The Linda Hall is among dozens of libraries across the United States that house dazzling collections and often mount eccentric exhibitions but largely remain unfamiliar to the public."What is fun is to become aware of these marvelous libraries that, though open to the public, are not well known and are filled with wonderful treasures," said Robert S. Pirie, a prominent book collector who lives in Manhattan and has his own library of several thousand volumes.
DeepDyve announces rental model for scientific research materials (DD):
But DeepDyve sees their service as reaching to a unique potential user groups that have generally been underserved by academic publishers including individual knowledge workers and small businesses. Indeed, the recent study of small and medium UK enterprises on their uses and desires for the professional and academic literature revealed that the price per article charged by many publishers was deemed excessive, considering that users can't preview the full-text before purchase and that abstracts were often "uninformative or misleading," requiring potential readers to "purchase blind." The rental model reduces the economic risk to the paying reader.E-books helping surge in UK library members (Telegraph):
Chick Lit for the weight challenged seems to be a developing phenom (Guardian):
Fiona Marriott, at Luton Libraries, said: "In recent weeks the number of ebook downloads has been increasing fast, and there are people emailing us from all over the country and even abroad asking if they can join as members online."
She said there had been a sharp increase in members, as a result, with more than 250 new users signing up, even though only local residents could join the service. Other librarians agreed more people had become members since e-books became available, though no official figures are yet available.
John le Carré: A man of great intelligence The celebrated author and former spy's popular books display a masterly understanding of moral complexity. His recent decision to switch publishing houses should see them firmly esconced as modern classics. (Guardian):
"This new genre is proof that women are finally learning to love each other and themselves – warts and all. Chick lit is finally holding a real mirror up to its readers, and they can't get enough of it."
A slew of books in which the protagonist is not just "curvy" or "voluptuous" but is actually "fat" are about to hit the bookshops. As well as The Pi**ed Off Parents Club, there is The Wife's Tale by Lori Lansens, bestselling author of The Girls, which was the Richard & Judy Best Read of the Year in 2006 and a finalist for the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction.
"It's classic wish-fulfilment: readers want to read about women learning to love themselves whatever their weight, because then they don't have to go through that pesky world of dieting themselves. There's a big market of people who want to hear that message," said Julia Llewellyn, author of Love Nest, to be published in February by Penguin, in which one of the central characters is overweight.
Like his early hero, Graham Greene, le Carré is at home in the company of diplomats and adventurers, at high tables and low dives. In his best, and most morally complex, work, he is acutely sensitive to thwarted idealism and human failing. He is married to Jane, with whom he has a son. His first marriage to Ann Sharp, which produced three children, did not long survive his change of profession in 1964. "I've had an untidy love life," he said a few years back, "and am now settled."And some more about why he may have moved from Hodder (Guardian)

Formal Attire Inspiration Guide
Cosplayers are quite welcome at the ball! However we ask you please remember that it is a formal dance event first and foremost, and the dress code must still be adhered to.
Think to yourself, "What would this character wear to a formal event?"
Cosplay for men and women should resemble formal wear of the non-costume variety (long gowns, formal military attire, etc.) School uniforms, armor, chains, and excessive belts are all considered informal.
Large props, wings, weapons, or anything that impairs your field of vision will not be allowed in the event as they are an impediment on the dance floor and may be broken or harm others. Anime Boston reserves the right to ask for the removal of costume portions or props that are problematic.
Below you will find both examples of cosplay that is already perfectly formal as well as one that can be made formal with a little creativity.
Examples of Formal Cosplay Conversion
|Formal Conversion
|Organization XIII from Kingdom Hearts
|Out of heavy cotton or suiting fabric create knee length (better for dancing) or full length black coat with mandarin collar, open front and without zipper. Pair with black button down shirt, slacks and dress shoes. Add jewelry similar to the chains worn around their necks, copy Org XIII symbol on the back of the coat. Also consider making a miniature version of your characters weapon as a pin to wear on your lapel.
|Maka Albern from Soul Eater
|Swap out mini skirt for smart knee length suit skirt or A-Line skirt. Pair with dressy shoes.
|Tsubaki from Soul Eater
|Alter dress so slits stop near knees. Swap out leggings for black tights and dress shoes. Swap out belt for formal satin sash and swap out arm bands for opera gloves.
|Simon from Gurren Lagann
|Tighten up sash to resemble formal cummerbund, take navy blazer and add designs to resemble his over shirt. Finally add tie in color similar to his necklace, pair with slacks and dress shoes.
|Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist
|Replace the red coat with a red blazer, the shirt with a black button down, and add a tie with the alchemist symbol printed on it.
|Asuka's yellow sundress from Neon Genesis Evangelion
|Make the dress out of satin or another formal fabric (not cotton). Pair with dress shoes and matching jewelry.
|Sakura Haruno from Naruto
|Convert her red dress into a floor length china doll dress without black leggings. Replace the Naruto head band with a formal satin head band. Pair with appropriate accessories.
Video Games
Video games can be a wonderful source of formal costumes. Also keep in mind that if you're favorite character's everyday wear isn't quite up to snuff, many characters have alternative outfits in art books or final cut scenes.
Western Ideas
The land of the rising son isn't the only source for great formal outfits; you may want to consider a favorite character from your childhood or the comic book shelf.
Japanese Clothing
Whether traditional or trendy many Japanese clothing options would be good choices for the ball. For modern clothes a good rule of thumb is: if the item is an interpretation of traditional formal wear east or west, its likely a good option for the ball.
Military Minus the Boots
Formal military outfits can be quite dapper. As explained in the FAQ since this is a dancing event boots are not allowed but for many, many military outfits plain dress shoes can easily be substituted for boots. When contemplating an outfit that normally contains tall knee high boots consider lengthening the pants or wearing tights underneath to achieve a similar silhouette.
Asian Inspired Clothing
You will often find clothes that are inspired by formal eastern attire that would look lovely at the ball.
Suits are smart!
There are a wide range of suit related cosplay options, if you're looking for affordable suit jackets please remember your local Good Will!
Gorgeous Gowns
A gown is always a great option, please remember if you don't like high-heels, dressy flats are a good alternative.
Great Formal Cosplay of the Past
We've had a huge range of formal cosplay and formal cosplay conversions over the years, here are just a few examples. If you have good examples from past years feel free to email us!

DD is the only one to stand up to Wenger. Ever since he left, we haven't won a damm thing. Yes, he knows how to weil and deal and also has a lot of connections. So yes, let him come back. We need someone with his connections
Quote:Super Hans
Im pretty sure somebody else thought "Lets get Wenger" and then he did.
So please do explain when did dein ever stand up to wenger, Dein himself has admitted over and over that he knew nothing about football and never attempted to argue football with Wenger. So please what did he stand up to wenger over
Quote:You really really belive Wenger wanted either Jeffers and Wright (he had jerzy Dudek pretty much all wrapped up). I could possibly see Wenger geting Van Bronckhurst but he pretty much ahd the same player in Edu who he bought a year earlier for less than half the price. I always assumed it was simply David Dein and his chums at Rangers, Ipswich and Everton getting paid you know "taxasation without representation" ,eduardo
Stood up to him by signing the players wenger wanted, would be funny but for idiots believing unsubstanceated bull like it.

Actor Kellan Lutz has cleared up rumors he is dating singer Miley Cyrus, insisting he's just "friends" with the provocative pop star.
The "Twilight" star hit headlines in December when he was seen cavorting with Cyrus in Las Vegas. Cyrus denied the new romance reports at the time, and now Lutz is speaking out.
He says on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS FM show, "It just makes me laugh. I've been friends with Miley for, like, six years. She's a great girl …We are friends (and) we run in the same circle."
He adds, "Are we dating? No, I'm happily single… I'm not (looking for a relationship) right now. I'm enjoying life and traveling quite a bit…
There's no real time to find the one."
The actor split from girlfriend Sharni Vinson in May before reuniting and splitting with her again over the summer. Cyrus called off her engagement to Aussie star Liam Hemsworth in September.

I had a good chuckle last week, you see one of my Facebook groups posted up some rumors they heard about the upcoming Ducati middleweight sport bike — namely that it would have a double-sided swingarm. "That's ludicrous," I said to myself, as I posted an even snarkier reply to the Facebook (oh sweet internet, how you bring the asshole out in all of us).
Hrmm…well, it appears I was wrong, as spy photos of the "Ducati 899 Panigale" surfaced just days later, and sure enough, there is a double-sided swinger bolted onto the Babigale™.
While it surely gets my goat that I was pie-in-the-face wrong on this rumor (on Facebook no less), what really grinds my gears was that the new model from Borgo Panigale flies in the face of my basic understanding of how Italy's iconic motorcycle brand even thinks.

Big Rapids, Mich. - Ferris State University hit the track again on Friday (Feb. 17) as the Bulldogs sent selected competitors to the Grand Valley State Open in Allendale.
The FSU men's and women's indoor track and field teams both had individuals in action at the meet, which was hosted inside the Kelly Family Sports Center. The field included student-athletes from FSU, GVSU, Calvin, Robert Morris, St. Franics, Hope and others.
Junior Alyssa Osika won the 800 meters (2:13.28) while surpassing the national provisional qualification time. Senior Tina Muir reached the national provisional mark in winning the mile run (4:53.74) and also placed sixth in the 800 meters (2:18.74) while setting new personal records in each event.
Junior Zoey Hohmann took second place in the 400 meters while reaching a national provisional qualification time with a 56.73 performance. She also finished in fourth place in the 200 meters (25.93) while Shea Van Klompenberg came in sixth in the 400 meters (58.50).
FSU's Brittany Anderson finished second in the 3,000 meters (10:10.96) while junior Shelby Janutol came in seventh in the mile (5:01.86). Alesha Reed wound up seventh in the high jump (4-10.25) and Briana Rassio took eighth place in the shot put (35-3.25).

Senior Justin Price won the 400 meters (49.56) and came in 10th in the 200 meters (22.93). Meanwhile, Ryan Chute placed second in the mile run (4:15.67) while Connor LaRowe finished ninth in the same event (4:19.33).
Ferris' Spencer Gerber recorded a fourth-place finish in the 3,000 meters (8:41.39) and Ryan Stankey was fifth in the shot put (48-6.75). Lucas Johnson finished sixth in the weight throw (53-1.50). Also, J.J. Vandenberg placed seventh in the shot put (45-8.50) and eighth in the weight throw (49-10.50).
FSU also finished fourth in the men's 4x400-meter relay (3:28.58).
The meet was a final tune-up for the 2012 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Indoor Track and Field Championships, which will take place next Friday and Saturday, Feb. 24-25, in Findlay, Ohio.

I'd hate to bench Brady and get screwed since he's pretty much the only reason I'm in the semis but the matchups heavily favor Freeman. What do you guys think?
I think you have Tom Brady on your team, after bye weeks pass, there is no reason to have another QB on your roster.

Flushed: No ifs or ands, just butts
Peggi Gallant's Arlington Avenue office looks much like a typical massage therapist's room. Warm lighting, aromatic products, and a long padded table impart a relaxed ambience to the space. But a device on the wall with two dials and bags of disposable tubing provide a clue that this office serves a different purpose. While Gallant is a licensed massage therapist, her current clients come to her for another service: colonic hydrotherapy, known more commonly as the enema's famous cousin, a "high colonic."
Why would people willingly let someone probe them where the sun don't shine?
It's a simple health issue, Gallant explains. She herself suffered a "major health crisis" two decades ago. "I had no energy, couldn't sleep, stopped menstruating for a year, and my hair started falling out by the handful," Gallant recalls. Despite such distressing symptoms, doctors could find no cause for her illness.
"At that point," says Gallant, "I decided to go looking myself." After experimenting with a variety of supplements, Gallant says, she stumbled upon colonics, which use up to five gallons of water to flush out the large intestine, commonly known as the colon. (Enemas use only several quarts.) The results, she says, have been nothing short of miraculous.
In addition to ending her fatigue, headaches, and other ailments, Gallant says there have been other amazing benefits. "My skin," she boasts, "looks better now than it did when I was a teenager."
Fourteen years ago, Gallant decided to take what she had learned and put it into practice for others. Her colonic hydrotherapy business, Renew, was born. Over those years she has developed a program for cleansing the system that involves several steps in addition to the colonics.
Brushing the skin with a dry vegetable brush, eating a diet of raw vegetables, and using "the rebounder," a trampoline that gets the circulation going, are all on the to-do list for Gallant's clients. In addition, she encourages her clients to refrain from putting cheeks to porcelain when defecating.
"Humans were not meant to sit on toilets," she explains. "We were intended to squat." For people who are "nimble enough," Gallant says, squatting atop a toilet is the healthiest way to pass waste. "It puts more pressure on the colon," she says.
Many clients claim Gallant's advice has been life-altering.
In August, 2002, Melinda Elliott was diagnosed with breast cancer. She decided against typical treatments of chemotherapy and radiation (though she did have a lumpectomy), opting instead to focus her energy on "building my immunity and detoxifying my body." Gallant, she says, was there to help.
"She's open to all levels of healing," says Elliott, a minister and the former director of a now-defunct Ivy organization, the Academy of Re-remembering. "When you're releasing on the table," says Elliott, "you're releasing a lot of your past." Holding onto the past, she believes, is what led to her illness.
Though Elliott's tumor recurred in February, she says she's sticking with the holistic treatment program of colonics and a diet of raw vegetables. And while she isn't out of the woods yet, she says, "I'm doing great."
She's not alone. Back in 1997, Lorna Carpenter (who spoke on condition that we use a pseudonym) says health problems kept her house-bound.
"I kept getting chronic illnesses," she says. Making matters worse was her environmental sensitivity. She says "odd smells" or exposure to chemicals made her so sick and fatigued she couldn't function. Having consulted doctor after doctor, Carpenter says, she turned to Gallant in desperation. Six years later, Carpenter says her life is back to normal and she attributes it to the colonic hydrotherapy.
The procedure itself is simple. Gallant provides a "child-sized" plastic speculum, which the client self-inserts while lying on her side on the table. Gallant than hooks two tubes to the end of the speculum, one for introducing fresh water, and the second, larger tube, for expelling flushed waste which can be viewed as it travels. Examining the output, Gallant says, is vital because it allows her and the client to see how the digestive system is working.
"We look for things like undigested food and mucous," Gallant explains. Based on her observations, she can make suggestions for adjustments in diet.
The waste tube is connected directly to the sewer system, so Gallant notes that the procedure entails no smell or contact with fecal matter.
The procedure is offputting to some especially men, Gallant says, adding that 75 percent of her 15 to 20 clients each week are female.
"I know I don't want any part of it," says colon cancer survivor Emmett Boaz. "I would lump it with primal screams and argon boxes and the rest of the craziness." Despite the fact that colonics have been around for centuries, Boaz says it would take a lot to convince him of their efficacy. "I require a very high standard of proof on medical matters," he explains. "There's an awful lot of quackery out there."
Doctors at both UVA and Martha Jefferson-affiliated gastroenterology practices decline to comment on colonic hydrotherapy. "We don't offer that service here," says an office spokesperson at the Martha Jefferson Digestive Care Center, "so the doctors have decided it would be best not to comment."
Jessica Willocks, spokesperson for the American Gastroenterological Association, says her organization does not take a stance on colonic irrigation because there's not enough research on the topic.
Gallant says she believes the reason colonics are not widely used in western medicine is the time and cost required for the procedure. Gallant charges a sliding fee of $50 to $100, "whatever a person feels they can pay," she says. A full colonic takes at least an hour to complete, and Gallant says series of up to 10 or 12 over a period of a few months is often necessary for full results. By contrast, she notes, many medical office visits last 15 minutes or less, and the patient leaves armed with a prescription.
For Lorna Carpenter, however, there's no prescription that could ever take the place of a colonic. And while she admits to having been squeamish before undergoing her first treatment, she says the benefits have far outweighed any embarrassment.
Would she recommend it to others?
"Oh yes," she answers, "very much so."

|Large scale - short term
|2006 IPCC Sector categorization
|Biological Treatment of Solid Waste
|Climate control: heating and cooling
|Waste management
|Energy Source
Municipal solid waste (MSW) refers to the stream of garbage collected through community sanitation services. Such waste can consist of a variety of materials, including both renewable energy sources (such as food, paper, and wood) and non-renewable energy sources (such as glass, plastics, and tires). Obviously, as several sources have shown, from an environmental perspective the most sustainable option for MSW is to reduce the amount of waste. According to Schönning (2006), "The goal of waste management, in any country, should be to reduce the amount of garbage generated, while reusing as much of what remains."
The stream of garbage collected through community sanitation services is referred to as Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Such waste can consist of a variety of materials, including both renewable energy sources (such as food, paper, and wood) and non-renewable energy sources (such as glass, plastics, and tires). Obviously, as several sources have shown, from an environmental perspective the most sustainable option for MSW is to reduce the amount of waste (Schönning, 2006).
However, incineration of MSW streams allows for the production of electricity and/or heat. At waste incinerators, MSW is unloaded from collection trucks and shredded or processed to ease handling. Recyclable materials are separated out, and the remaining waste is fed into a combustion chamber to be burned. The heat produced by this process boils water and the resulting steam can be used directly in a heating system or a factory. Usually, however, the steam is used to turn a turbine-generator to produce electricity (see image above). Additional steps allow the recycling of metals from the incombustible residue.
Video 1
Waste To Energy (WTE) is the pre-eminent method of waste disposal in Europe and Asia because of its ability to reduce the volume of waste, generation of valuable energy, and the reduction of GHG emissions. In the Netherlands, 2535 GWh electricity was produced in 2004 from MSW of which 78% has been delivered to the grid or to other installations. The remaining share has been used on-site by the waste incinerators themselves. Moreover, 8.8 PJ of heat has been delivered for external use, e.g., for industrial processes or district heating. As can be seen in Figure 1, an ever increasing share of waste generated in the Netherlands is incinerated to produce electricity. For instance, in 2001 the amount of MSW incinerated in the Netherlands was two and a half times as big as in the USA (37.8 vs 14.7%). In 2008, over 50% of Dutch MSW was incinerated (SenterNovem, 2009).
All these potential contaminants need to be removed. This can be done with electrostatic precipitator's that use electrically charged plates to capture the small particles of fly ash. Alternatively, 'bag houses' can be used that work like giant vacuum cleaners with hundreds of fabric filter bags. A bag house is an emission control device that consists of an array of fabric filters through which flue gases pass. Particles are trapped and thus prevented from passing into the atmosphere. The flue gas that is eventually discharged from the stack is primarily CO2, nitrogen, oxygen and water. Burning waste at extremely high temperatures also destroys chemical compounds and disease-causing bacteria whereas residual ash can be landfilled. In fact, in the USA, about 10% of the total ash formed in the combustion process is used for beneficial use such as daily cover in landfills and road construction.[1]
Conventional WTE is an important means of waste disposal in many countries in continental Europe. In most Western European countries WTE accounts for 30 to 60% of MSW disposal. Total worldwide installed capacity is over 3 GWh of which about half is in Europe (Boyle, 2004: 125). Europe annually treats over 50 million tonnes of wastes at WTE plants, which, according to the Confederation of European Waste-to-Energy Plants (CEWEP), could generate electricity for 27 million people or heat for 13 million people (Stengler, 2006). Incentives for combusting MSW are a shortage of suitable landfill sites (as was the case in Denmark) and the high cost of transporting wastes to distant sites.
The situation in developing countries is expected to be quite different, although a clear picture is difficult to describe since not much information is available about MSW handling in developing countries. First, garbage or MSW collection programmes are not very well developed in developing countries which results in low garbage collection rates. Second, collected waste is usually dumped at uncontrolled landfills. Only recently, there has been growing awareness of the need to collect and properly treat MSW. Hence, several improvements can be made in many developing countries in terms of waste collection programmes and the useful application of collected waste, either through disposal of waste in well-managed landfills or through incineration of waste for electricity and/or heat generation.With respect to industrialised countries MSW combustion technology, it has been estimated that waste could supply up to 15% of the UK's electricity demand; a figure that may apply to other developed countries as well (Wheeler, 2006).
An increasing wealth generally results in increasing amounts of waste (Bartelings, 2003), which can be observed in both industrialised and developing countries. Although less waste is produced per capita in developing countries, in many countries waste collection services are often poorly developed or do not exist and the awareness of people of the technology is generally poor. Based on the experience in a number of industrialised countries, it is important that developing countries develop centrally planned collection services on the basis of which a preferred method of waste handling can be chosen, either through disposal of MSW in landfills or for electricity and/or heat generation.
Social acceptability of WTE facilities has proven a big hurdle in the further development of this technology, in particular fear of environmental contamination, most notably dioxin emissions, prevented development of WTE power plants. In order to address this concern, in Europe specific EU Directives have put barriers to landfilling; in Germany, since 1 June 2005, untreated waste is no longer landfilled (Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety of Germany, 2005). As a result, in 2005, dioxin emissions from all 66 waste incineration plants in operation in Germany dropped from 400 grams to less than 0.5 grams as a result of the mandatory installation of filter units. In Sweden, fifteen years ago, eighteen waste incineration plants emitted a total of about 100 grams of dioxins every year. Nowadays, the number of operational waste incineration plants has grown to 29, but taken together they emit 0.7 gram only.Note that these plants more than doubled the amount of energy produced in 1985. Despite these improvements, still the perception that MSW incinerators are old and contaminating remains persistent in some cases.
Through MSW combustion, the waste volume can be reduced significantly in a controlled burning process; up to 90% in volume and 75% in weight (US EPA, no date). Material (e.g. metals, cans, glass, etc.) can be removed during the process as well for recycling purposes. Hence, it is important to note that waste incineration does not necessarily compete with recycling programmes. It has been found that increases in incineration of MSW with energy recovery do not correlate with low recycling rates (Kiser, 2003; Jackson, 2006; Stengler, 2006).
MSW combustion reduces the need for new landfills; only the ashes generated in the incineration process are disposed off at landfill sites but these are much smaller in volume and thus require less space. Such ashes may be toxic, however, which requires regular testing to prevent toxic substances from migrating into groundwater supplies. In the EU, waste incineration is preferred over landfilling and the landfilling of biodegradable waste is limited by law.
Other sustainable development benefits are quite similar to those of landfill gas (LFG) capture technologies.
Combustion of MSW could contribute to reducing GHG emission when the heat and electricity produced replace fossil fuel-based capacity. Depending on the prevailing mix of primary fuels used for electricity generation or heat production and the composition of collected waste (which may very much differ from country to country, or from region to region, see Figure 3 and Figure 4, which show the composition of MSW in the UK and Vietnam, respectively), CO2 emissions could potentially be reduced by 0.6 to 1.2 tonne/MWh electricity and some 0.25-0.6 tonne/MWh could potentially be reduced in heat production.
In addition, combusting MSW avoids the production of methane emissions from the decaying MSW. As per July 2010, two projects were registered as Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects. Both projects are located in India
For the methane reduction effect, the GHG accounting methodology "Avoidance of methane production from decay of biomass through controlled combustion, gasification or mechanical/thermal treatment - version 16" (AMS-III.E.) approved by the CDM executive board can be used. For larger installations "Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes- version 11" (AM0025) can be used.
For the substitution of fossil fuels on the grid through the production of electricity by MSW combustion the GHG accounting methodology "Grid connected renewable electricity generation - version 16" (AMS-1.D) can be used or the "Consolidated methodology grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources - version 11" (ACM0002) can be used. Which methodology is appropriate depends on the size of the installation. Both are approved by the CDM executive board.This methodologies help to determine a baseline for GHG emissions in the absence of the project (i.e. business-as-usual circumstances), how emission reductions below this baseline can be calculated, and how these reductions can be monitored.
General information about how to apply CDM methodologies for GHG accounting, as well as how to calculate GHG emission reductions from transportation or industrial use projects, can be found at: http://cdm.unfccc.int/methodologies/PAmethodologies/approved.html
In Sweden, the investment costs of a plant that incinerates about 460 ktonnes of waste per year for both heat (for the nearby residential areas) and electricity amount to USD 286 million. Its annual revenues vary from USD 36 million to USD 70 million, so that the initial investment cost will be earned back within ten years (Schönning, 2006). MBT technology is economically less attractive when compared to conventional WTE systems. However, according to Wheeler (2006), local political, legislative or structural circumstances may favour the dedicated MBT combustion process over conventional technologies.
Depositing of untreated waste in landfills will no longer be permitted in Europe, which provides an incentive to offer household waste to power stations and waste incinerators. Moreover, as CO2 emissions can be reduced, this option may potentially benefit from emissions trading.
Based on the RES Electricity Directive, the biodegradable fraction of waste is considered biomass and thus a renewable energy source. Depending the composition of the waste (see Figure 3 and Figure 4), generally speaking, this fraction is over 50%. The EU Landfill Directive (1999/31/EC) stipulates that the amount of biodegradable waste going to landfills has to be reduced to 35% of the total amount (i.e. by weight, compared with the amount in 1995) by the year 2016.
Finally, the CDM may provide an interesting opportunity to reduce emissions from landfills in developing countries. However, at present, the focus within the CDM is very much on landfill management and recuperation of methane emitted from landfill sites (see also: Methane capture from landfills for electricity and heat), which is simpler in terms of GHG accounting (relatively straightforward methodology) and which generally result in larger GHG emission reductions (given that LFG capture projects reduce emissions of methane which global warming potential is 21 times stronger than that of CO2).

GRETNA, La., Aug. 15 (UPI) -- A couple have been charged with stabbing a New Orleans dancer and cutting up her body after inviting her to perform at a private party.
An indictment handed up Thursday in Jefferson Parish charged Margaret Sanchez, 30, and Terry Speaks, 41, with second-degree murder. Sanchez is currently being held in Jefferson Parish in lieu of $1.5 million bail, while Speaks is in a federal prison in New York.
Their alleged victim, Jaren Lockhart, 22, was a stripper at Temptations Gentlemen's Club in the French Quarter. On June 6, 2012, Lockhart, who had a child, told other employees she was going "to make rent."
At a news conference Thursday, Kenner police said investigators believe Sanchez and Speakes lured Lockhart to their apartment near Louis Armstrong International Airport and stabbed her in the chest. They allegedly dumped her body parts off the Bay St. Louis Bridge.
Parts of the body washed up but her tattooed forearms were missing.
The evidence includes testimony from inmates in New York who said Speaks talked to them about the killing.

Cooling Your Home for Less
And while we may take air conditioning for granted, it wasn't that long ago -- 1881, to be precise -- when a team of naval engineers built a cooling contraption to comfort a dying President James Garfield. While the device -- which blew hot air upwards and employed rags soaked in freezing water -- could lower room temperatures by 20 degrees, it also ate up a quarter-million pounds of ice a month. (Think of all the Pina Coladas they could've made instead.)
Modern air conditioners wouldn't become commonplace until the 1920s, yet one enigma remains: figuring out how to most efficiently cool a room or a home. Window units or central air? Do ceiling fans really help? Are there other novel ways to make sure my living space stays cool, so I can use air conditioners less? One thing's for sure: Savings are always chill, so let's crank up some righteous coolness with this latest installment of the Savings Experiment.
If you've gotten sticker shock from your latest electric bill, you may already suspect that Americans spend billions of dollars a year on electricity to cool their homes with air conditioning -- which accounts for at least 15% of all energy used in some homes, and in warmer climates can represent up to 70% of your summer electric bill.
Here's another way of looking at it: While a floor fan uses only 100 watts on the highest speed, and ceiling fans use only 15 to 95 watts depending on speed and size, a window unit AC uses 500 to 1440 watts -- and a 2.5-ton central system uses about 3500 watts. That's a massive amount of energy and suggests that if you're using air conditioners alone to cool your home, you're not thinking in economic or environmental terms.
Let's get this straight: We're not asking you to give up your beloved air conditioner if it keeps you cool and dry during an insufferably hot, humid heat wave. But with just a little bit of planning you could start to bring those power bills back down to size. Just because the thermometer is soaring doesn't mean your debt has to follow suit.
Costing less than a penny an hour to run, ceiling fans will have an immediate impact on your domestic comfort once you buy and install them. They start at about $40 a piece and you can find them at just about any hardware store. Home Depot stocks more than a dozen models of Hunter fans (some with lighting fixtures) below $100.
The nice trick to ceiling fans is that they don't need to run while you're out of the room. The fan cools you by triggering evaporation from your skin. Since the fans force hot air down and away from you, using a ceiling fan will make you feel anywhere from 3 to 8 degrees cooler. Be sure to factor in the cost of installing the fans, if you'll need help from an electrician, and shop around for bargains, as sales on fans are plentiful this time of year.
Speaking of fans, bedtime is a big time for cooling down. Ironically, most people prefer to sleep with covers, even though that traps the heat your body creates. So you can run an expensive AC to cool the whole house just so you can be comfortable under the covers ... or simply use a bed fan. It's a small, gentle fan that operates right under the covers. You can order one for $99.95 at bedfan.com.
Read on, and you'll see that some of these strategies won't cost you a cent -- though they can save you quite a bit of money, as well as wear and tear on your air conditioning units.
Make sure your doors and windows are well sealed
You'll pay a lot more to cool your home when the cold air escapes easily. Do-it-yourself weather stripping for doors and caulk for windows is easy to install, and cheap. Also make sure to caulk around the holes where pipes go into the wall under sinks.
Keep direct sunlight out
Direct sunlight can raise room temperature by 10-20 degrees. The less heat gets into your home, the less you have to pay to remove it. Drapes block sunlight and heat better than blinds.
Use solar screening
Solar screening is a special mesh that reflects much more sunlight than regular screening. It's available at home improvement stores, and can block 60%-70% of heat from sunlight. Get screens that don't block too much light, because if your building gets too dark and you wind up using more lighting inside as a result (which generates heat), you've defeated the purpose of the screens.
Use reflecting film on your windows
About a third of a structure's cooling requirements are due to solar energy entering through glass. Reflective film bounces the sun's heat from your windows, and can block 40-60% of heat and modern films reflect heat away without blocking the light, so you can still have nice, bright rooms. Film costs about $3-$7.50 per square foot installed, or do-it-your-selfers can get the material from a home improvement store for about $1-$2 a square foot. The payback period is 3 to 5 years (or less, if the cost of electricity continues to rise). It's critical to use film that blocks very little light, otherwise you'll run more lighting inside.
Use less light
Lights create a lot of heat, which your AC system has to remove. Replace your lights with compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs, which use 75% less energy and create 70%-90% less heat at the same time. Regular lights give off 10% light and 90% heat, while CFLs give off 90% light and 10% heat. Whatever kind of lighting you have, turn it off when you're not using it. It's not just using electricity, it's also adding heat. (That said: Don't try to heat your home with lights in the winter; lighting is an inefficient way to generate heat.)
Delay your chores
Any heat generated in your home has to be removed by your cooling system, so avoid generating heat inside your home whenever possible. Your dishwasher, washer, and dryer give off heat when they're in use, so run them in the early morning or late evening. Your air conditioner won't have to work as hard to offset the heat produced by the appliances. What's more, running those appliances during off-peak hours reduces the stress on the power grid, helping to prevent brownouts. You might also pay less for the electricity if your utility charges less per kilowatt-hour during non-peak hours.
Shower more
Yes, it's true: Cool showers can help keep you comfortable for quite some time afterward. Right before bedtime is an especially opportune time to jump in, as it sets the stage for a restful night's sleep.
It's true that central units will use a lot more power than, say, a single window unit on each floor of a two-story dwelling. But if you have more than two rooms to cool, then your best bet is to go with a central unit, which also provides long term resale value and humidity control. "Well-designed central systems win out in terms of being able to filter the air for allergens and pollutants, and for controlling humidity," says Mike Rogers, a senior vice president with Green Homes America, a company that provides residential home performance contracting solutions.
If humidity isn't your problem but you'd just like to cool your home, you could get away with one window unit on each floor, if your home is well insulated. (Check out this Energy Star document to figure out the right-sized air conditioner based on a room's size.)
Keep in mind that window units aren't necessarily more energy efficient than central air units. A window unit that is too small to cool a room may run continuously, wasting energy. Central air units cool multiple rooms more quickly and filter out airborne particles -- but they also use more power than window units. When you're shopping for a central air conditioning system, make sure the SEER number (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) is 13 or better (14 in warmer climates). A less efficient system will cost you more to run.
If you'd rather go with window units, then consider these factors:
- Look for an EER (energy efficiency ratio) of 11 or higher for room air conditioners. Today's ACs use 30%-50% less electricity than 10-year-old models. If you replace an old EER 5 unit with a new EER 10 unit, you'll cut your cooling costs in half. You should also look for the "EnergyStar*" and "EnergyGuide" labels when purchasing a window unit. The higher the energy efficiency rating (EER) the more efficient the unit will be. An energy efficient unit will cycle the compressor on and off so that it doesn't operate continuously. (U.S. homeowners can get a 30% tax credit for installing an EnergyStar-rated AC.)
- Make sure your AC is sized properly. It is important to use the right size AC, and replacing your old AC with one of the same size is often a mistake. Air conditioners are rated according to the amount of heat (measured in British thermal units, or BTUs) they remove from the air per hour. Select a unit that removes an average of 20 BTUs per square foot of living space or higher, depending on how much sunlight the space receives, how many large appliances are located within it, and how many people occupy it. An AC that's too small (or too big) will waste energy.
- Clean your AC filter every month. A dirty filter makes your AC work harder, which uses more electricity. Regardless of the type or age of the unit, be sure to change filters after every 90 days of use.
- A programmable thermostat is ideal for people away from home during set periods of time throughout the week. Through proper use of pre-programmed settings, a programmable thermostat can save you about $180 every year in energy costs.
- Run your air conditioner(s) less frequently. You can reduce your annual energy bills by about 10% by turning up your programmable thermostat 10º to 15º F when you're out of the house.
- Energy Star-qualified models use about 25% less power than ones made before late 2000.
- Don't lower the air conditioner's temperature when you turn it on. It won't cool the room any faster, but it will use more energy. On humid days, set the fan speed on low to remove more moisture from the air.
When it comes to keeping your space cool for the least amount of money, it pays to apply the same sort of consciousness you would use when taking care of you car. Just as you would always be on the lookout for how much gas you have in the tank or air in the tires, cooling your home is much more than a "set it, forget it" proposition.
Take a look at those electric bills to see if you're spending more than you like. Read over these tips and see if applying a few, or more, could make a big difference. Not only will your wallet thank you, but you can still get through the season in relative comfort.
Which, if you ask us, beats hauling out thousands of rags and a quarter million pounds of ice.

Update on Alias production from ZAP Jonway Consolidated Quarterly Report
SANTA ROSA, California (May 23, 2011) — ZAP Jonway (OTC BB: ZAAP) recently filed its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2011, which included consolidated financial results for the first time taking into account ZAP's acquisition of 51% of the equity shares of Zhejiang Jonway Automobile Co. Ltd., or Jonway Automobile, located in Sanmen, Zhejiang, China, in January 2011. We refer to this transaction as the Jonway Acquisition. The Jonway Acquisition was the result of a yearlong effort by both parties. Jonway Automobile is an ISO 9000 production-ready automobile manufacturer in China with facilities that were installed in 2009. Through the Jonway Acquisition, ZAP has been able to gain access to a cost-competitive production team in China with manufacturing expertise and access to China's growing electric vehicle, or EV, market. This complementary relationship is further enhanced by ZAP's EV technology and expertise, which adds to Jonway Automobile's existing traditional vehicle sales business and broadens its global sales footprint.
The press release provided an update on the development plans for the Alias:
In addition, ZAP Jonway plans to deliver early pre-production models of the A380EV to the Shanghai Yangpu government for its Green City Project in the second quarter of 2011. The full production of the A380EV is expected in the latter part of the fourth quarter of 2011. ZAP Jonway anticipates that the Alias model will follow in early 2012.

ZAP Alias Electric Car in the X PRIZE / Consumer Reports Skidpad Test
We have hours of footage from the X PRIZE, but this is one of my personal favorites I've been saving for a cold winter day. This is the Skidpad test on which Consumer Reports tests all new cars.
According to Wikipedia, a skidpad or skidpan is a large, circular area of flat pavement used for various tests of a car's handling. The most common skidpad use is testing lateral acceleration, measured in g.
The test is carried out on a circular track with a calculated radius. A car driving on said track is slowly accelerated until the outermost tires on the car begin to slip. Going any faster would cause the car to drive outside the 300 ft radius. At this point, the speed of the car is recorded, and given the centripetal acceleration formula, v²/r, a car's handling in terms of lateral gs can be derived.
To pass the test, the Alias had to surpass 40 MPH to achieve a lateral acceleration of .7 g without losing control. As you can see, this was a piece of cake for the Alias and X PRIZE posted a result of .85 g, not bad considering Al Unser Jr. was just getting started when they called him in. None of the X PRIZE cars in the Knockout Stage had a problem with this test and it was dropped for the finals.
Thankz to ZAP Alias Team Member Prashanth Radhakrishnan for capturing this raw video, which was posted originally on Facebook in June.

Controversial Indianapolis Motor Speedway board member Tony George has been ousted from the track's board, largely composed of his sisters, after spending $600 million over 13 years. That's so much his sisters were worried they'd run out of money.
Last July George lost his job as the track's CEO.
What'd he spend all that dough on? Remaking the track to accommodate Formula One, dropping serious dime on PR efforts and starting his own IRL team among many other things.
George is the grandson of Tony Hulman, who's credited with saving the Speedway in 1945 and popularizing the Indy 500.

All registered 2nd Chance players who purchase $1 or more in a single SuperLotto Plus transaction will receive a code good for one entry into the drawing for every $1 spent and can submit codes at SuperLotto Plus 2nd Chance.

Players must provide their true, full legal name when registering for the 2nd Chance program in order to be eligible for any prizes. Any change in name, whether due to marriage or otherwise, must be reflected on the Lottery's registration page prior to the drawing in order to be eligible for any prize. Only the person identified by name as the Winner on the Lottery website at the time the Winner's name is posted, which is supplied by the player during registration, may claim the prize from the Lottery. Persons who register with fictitious names will be ineligible to win any prize. Upon login to the Lottery's website, the winner will be notified of the winning prize.

When registering, participants must provide a valid California address and enter submissions from a location within California to be eligible for SuperLotto Plus 2nd Chance drawings.

"Yohimbe" refers to the tree Pausinystalia yohimbe; its bark or bark extract is used in dietary supplement products to purportedly increase libido and for erectile dysfunction, weight loss, and bodybuilding. The bark contains the chemical substance "yohimbine," which is considered to be the primary active ingredient. However, the term "yohimbe extract" or the like does not mean that it contains a significant amount of yohimbine, because the concentration of the chemical in the tree bark is highly variable and often low.
There is insufficient evidence as to the effectiveness of yohimbe for athletic performance and weight loss. There have been reports of severe side effects from taking yohimbe, and it interacts with many other dietary supplement ingredients, including caffeine (including plant-based ingredients that contain caffeine) and other stimulants such as synephrine (Bitter Orange). Yohimbine is available as a prescription drug in the United States to treat certain types of erectile dysfunction. For more information, we recommend visiting Natural Medicines using the "Find out how your supplement rates" button on this page.

The Liberals win narrow victories after calling two General Elections following escalating tension between the Liberal administration and the Lords reached crisis point with the Lords' unprecedented rejection of Lloyd George's 1909 budget. The budget included tax reform intended to fund social reform and a rearmament programme, but was seen by the Conservative Lords as an assault on property.
Art and scienceThe critic and Bloomsbury group member Roger Fry curates a ground-breaking and, at the time, shocking exhibition in London's Grafton Galleries, Manet and the Post-Impressionists. The exhibition introduces the work of contemporary European artists to the London art establishment, including Manet, Cezanne, Gaugin and Van Gogh, and Fry became a champion of modern art, coining the term 'Post-Impressionism'.

I rode the 2013 Rally 14m today in 10-15knots using an Airush Sector V2 52. I was very impressed. Fast turning speed, nice feedback from the bar and nice float on the jumps are the things that stood out. The kite was very easy to launch off the water. This was my second session on it. Last week, I used the 2012 Rally 14 with the same board in similar wind conditions. I prefer the 2013, it has a bit more bar pressure and better low end performance. The addition of the extra struts make the kite feel more solid for me (210lbs). For the last 5 years I have been using Cabrinha SB's. My 2012 SB 14m has more low end grunt( or feels like it ) than either the 2012-13 Rally's. The Rally flies faster across the window and turns quicker IMO. Both jump very well, with maybe better float with the Rally. I like the Cabrinha bar better mostly because I am so familiar with it. The grip on the Comp Stick is harsh! Hands down the lines are much nicer on the Slingshot. Very stiff. Cabrinha has improved there lines in 13
I was so impressed I bought the 14 and ordered an 10m Rally as well! Why, well mostly I wanted something different( at least to me) and these Slingshots have impressed me since they came out. The first version did behave poorly at the high end of the wind range but that has been clearly addressed with the extra struts and larger leading edge.
I also rode the 2013 SB 16m today as well, I'll just say I enjoyed the Rally better.

One issue I got involved is that the Crm Email Router can end up continually crashing if it can't connect to ADFS. This is a significant server stability problem, as the Dr Waston errors can cause the server to be compute bound, taking resources from other services. The symptom is a lot of errors in the event log like 'The authentication endpoint Username was not found on the configured Secure Token Service'. One consideration is whether you have the endpoint configured in ADFS (see http://www.powerobjects.com/blog/2011/06/22/error-with-crm-2011-adfs-and-email-router/ for an example), but another consideration is service dependencies.
In most environments, ADFS would run on a different server from the Crm Email Router, but in smaller or test environments they may run on the same machine. This causes a problem, as the ADFS service is set by default for a delayed start, whereas the Crm Email Router service is not. Therefore the Crm Email Router starts before ADFS, it fails to connect, and all the errors start occurring.
The solution I applied was to set a service dependency so that the Crm Email Router is dependent on the ADFS service. This can be done via a registry value:
- Use regedit to go to the HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSCRMEmail key
- Add a Multi-string (REG_MULTI_SZ) value 'DependOnService'
- Set the value to adfssrv (or add this value if there were already a dependency)

Searching for cities, addresses, points of interest
Marble uses so-called runners to calculate routes, do reverse geocoding, parse files and search for placemarks (cities, addresses, points of interest, ...). This tutorial shows how to use the MarbleRunnerManager class to search for an arbitrary string (Karlsruhe in the example below, see Userbase for more information on search terms).
#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QtCore/QDebug>
#include <marble/MarbleWidget.h>
#include <marble/MarbleModel.h>
#include <marble/SearchRunnerManager.h>
#include <marble/GeoDataPlacemark.h>
using namespace Marble;
int main(int argc, char** argv)
QApplication app(argc,argv);
MarbleModel *model = new MarbleModel;
SearchRunnerManager* manager = new SearchRunnerManager( model );
QVector<GeoDataPlacemark*> searchResult = manager->searchPlacemarks( "Karlsruhe" );
foreach( GeoDataPlacemark* placemark, searchResult ) {
qDebug() << "Found " << placemark->name() << "at" << placemark->coordinate().toString();
Copy and paste the code above into a text editor. Then save it as my_marble.cpp and compile it by entering the following command on the command line:
g++ -I /usr/include/qt4/ -o my_marble my_marble.cpp -lmarblewidget -lQtGui -lQtCore
If things go fine, execute ./my_marble and the output looks similar to this:
Found "Karlsruhe, Germany" at " 8° 33' 48.7"E, 49° 05' 38.4"N"
Found "Karlsruhe, McLean" at "100° 36' 58.4"W, 48° 05' 27.7"N"
Found "Karlsruhe, Karlsruhe, Stadt" at " 8° 24' 16.0"E, 49° 00' 50.6"N"
Found "Karlsruhe, Remscheid" at " 7° 17' 35.3"E, 51° 09' 09.4"N"
Found "Karlsruhe, Austria" at " 15° 19' 53.6"E, 47° 21' 33.4"N"
Found "Karlsruhe, McLean" at "100° 37' 13.5"W, 48° 05' 24.0"N"
Found "Karlsruhe, Sohland a.d. Spree" at " 14° 27' 36.5"E, 51° 02' 28.5"N"
Found "Parkstraße, Bad Elster" at " 12° 14' 08.0"E, 50° 16' 57.9"N"
Found "Karlsruhe (Bruchsal)" at " 8° 33' 48.7"E, 49° 05' 38.4"N"
Found "Karlsruhe (Innenstadt-West)" at " 8° 24' 16.0"E, 49° 00' 50.6"N"

More From This Collection: Hauser Reclaimed TeakView Reclaimed Teak Tables
Sku: HSTK896-WG
Dimensions: 96" L x 41.5" W x 30" H
Harvest 96" Reclaimed Teak Rectangular Dining Table with a weathered grey finish. Some assembly required.
Ship to your home or free pickup in store
Reclaimed Teak - Each piece of reclaimed teak is unique with grooves, joints, gaps, filler squares, cracks and imperfections making it a one of kind piece - The rustic character is intentional and is the design of the collection - The finish is applied at factory level and is not intended to be re applied at the residential level. It is an outdoor stain made by Ruio Monocoat using oils and pigments - The finish will begin to fade and wear off over time depending on the exposure to the elements. The teak underneath the finish is at no risk without the finish and it will naturally turn to a silver grey tone over time. - The finish is expected to last one to two seasons depending on exposure and use. - There is no warranty on the finish and note that the finish will not wear away evenly - The gray finish that is professionally applied during the manufacturing process is a multi stage process that cannot be duplicated in the field therefore once the finish has faded away the natural grey patina will become the final colouring - Once the finish is no longer on the table you can protect the table from stains using a protective teak coating - Cleaning is best done using 1 teaspoon of dish soap to 1 quart of water and wipe with a cloth and then a final rinse with a low pressure hose - Ideal storage is in a dry, unheated area or if using furniture covers they must be tented and well ventilated. If the cover is not vented it will cause mildew - Teak is a natural product that will weather over time
