Aluminum's amazing properties
Why should you use aluminum? Learn more about our favorite material and discover the opportunities.
Aluminum has a unique combination of attractive properties. Many of these are extremely important in our mutual efforts to create a more sustainable society. What are the properties you are looking for?
Aluminum lasts forever and is environmentally friendly.
Aluminum is strong
Aluminum is very light, thanks to its low density. But extrusions can also be made strong and durable. It all depends on the application and the engineering behind it. In a ship, vessel designers can achieve weight savings of 40 percent over steel.
With a density one-third that of steel, 2,700 kg/m3, aluminum is super light. That is why it keeps replacing materials in all industries.
Light does not mean weak. Aluminum alloys have tensile strengths of between 70 and 700 MPa. Unlike most steel grades, its strength increases at low temperatures. This makes aluminum the natural choice in many places.
The versatility in working with this material is incredible. Milling, drilling, cutting, punching, and bending are all common methods for shaping aluminum. Furthermore, the energy input during machining is low, meaning a greener environmental footprint.
Aluminum is non-combustible. It has better fire protection capabilities than carbon fiber, which has flammable resins in it.
Aluminum's superior malleability means you will be able to form it into almost any product imaginable.
Aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. An aluminum conductor weighs approximately half as much as a copper conductor having the same conductivity. This is why it is a material that is extensively used in heating/cooling applications.
Features facilitating easy joining are often incorporated into profile design. Fusion welding, friction stir welding, bonding and taping are also used for joining.
Reflectivity is a much appreciated property of aluminum. It is an excellent reflector of both visible light and radiated heat.
Screening electromagnetic radiation
Tight aluminum boxes can effectively exclude or screen off EMC. The better the conductivity of a material, the better the shielding qualities.
Corrosion resistance
Have you ever seen aluminum rust? Aluminum reacts with the oxygen in the air to form an extremely thin layer of oxide. Though it is only some hundredths of a micron thick (1 micron is one thousandth of a millimeter), this layer is dense and provides excellent corrosion protection. The layer is self-repairing if damaged.

Is there a way to help both the global environment and the economy in one tidy package? According to Tim Horan, president of National Grid, energy efficiency is not only something that can save the environment; it can save consumers money and even create jobs.
Last Tuesday, National Grid hosted the first Rhode Island Energy Efficiency Forum at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Warwick. More than 150 National Grid representatives, business owners, municipal officials and residential developers came together to discuss energy efficiency programs in the state and how to improve upon them.
"It was a pretty unique event," said Horan.
The goal was to get feedback on energy efficiency programs and services while educating attendees on initiatives that could be beneficial to their respective focus areas.
National Grid offers 22 commercial and 21 residential services to customers to retrofit existing systems, provide rebates for equipment or customize buildings and homes to be efficient.
Horan said services range from audits of homes to fully engineering specialty equipment for businesses. To make homes more efficient, Horan said people can do "something as prescriptive as changing all the light bulbs" to energy efficient ones. According to National Grid's website, swapping out five lights with Energy Star light bulbs can save 62 kwh, or $9, per month.
Turning off lights and appliances, washing clothes in cold water, repairing leaky faucets, unplugging laptop and cell phone chargers and cleaning the lint filter on electric dryers are all ways to save money each month. For natural gas customers, National Grid recommends replacing inefficient furnaces, insulating windows, lowering water heater settings to 120 degrees and choosing energy efficient hot water tanks.
Businesses, said Horan, can go as far as swapping out old, inefficient machinery for something more eco-friendly.
Regardless the magnitude of the change, the result is usually the same: a lower electrical bill.
"We're always looking for ways to help customers with bills," he said.
Horan said becoming more energy efficient not only saves money, but also helps the environment. In addition to helping individual consumers, it also reduces total emissions from power plants.
"It makes a lot of sense," he said.
Horan said energy efficiency can also be linked to job creation. He explained that an existing building that undergoes retrofitting provides jobs for contractors and even the suppliers of materials.
To date, there have been 33,000 residential customers and 1,030 commercial and industrial customers involved in the energy efficiency programs.
The overall Rhode Island energy savings amount to 1.4 million lifetime MWh (mega watt hours), which is equivalent to taking 190,000 cars off the road for one year. For natural gas users, it's the equivalent of 3.6 million lifetime MMBtu (million metric British thermal units), which is like taking 35,000 cars off the road for one year.
National Grid says electric and gas programs will save Rhode Island customers $174 million over the next 13 years in reduced fuel and distribution costs.
National Grid's budget for delivering energy efficiency programs to Rhode Island this year was $61 million for electric customers and $13.6 million for gas. According to a National Grid spokesperson, the funding is approved annually by the Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission in order to meet the state's energy savings goals for energy efficiency. The state mandates energy efficiency through law, and a governor-appointed council sets goals for National Grid to achieve every three years.
Horan said the biggest takeaway from the forum is that National Grid needs to spread the word about their programs, since many customers are still unaware of services available. Horan said National Grid's website has information, as well as the Energy Efficiency and Resource Management Council's site.
Horan said National Grid has been involved in energy efficiency programs for more than 20 years, and said conferences like last week's help to reach out to more people and get more input. In the past, they have held smaller gatherings, but nothing on this scale.
"We appreciated everyone's time," said Horan, who hopes National Grid will continue to develop and expand upon their energy efficiency services.

Cell phones suck.
My StarTAC is dying (yes, old school) and I need to start looking at a new phone. I don't need no damned camera, no color, no fancy (and freaking annoying) ring tones. I don't want to spend $200 on some phone when I'll never care for those features.
What I need is a phone that is a flip phone the size of the StarTAC or smaller, is workable one-handed, has a passable phone book, and -- by far the most important -- has excellent reception.
I need the phone for Sprint PCS. I don't need to hear about bad experiences with Sprint, I just need a phone.

text: Sixteen-year-old star boxer Mutiat Adebayo has some complaints about the state of women's boxing in Nigeria: "Boxing organisers discriminate against us during competitions. This is not good for the development of the sport. We urge government to help us." She says girls should be taught boxing in school — and fellow fighter Oluchi Ochonma says the government can help by better outfitting gyms. Ochonma adds, "I see a future for female boxers in this country. Female should be encouraged to participate in boxing because what a man can do a woman can also do."

Grigioperla Underwear, a "high lifestyle" collection is characterized by the use of sophisticated and "ultra-light" materials, but above all by the great care, almost sartorial, taken in the details. There is also, moreover, a sophisticated touch of color which is different for each of the three series, thereby giving them a personalized feel. Grigioperla materials are constructed from smooth, fine-knitted cotton, with tone-on-tone elastic and logo on the briefs and boxer shorts.
The introduction of the new Nero Perla basics line, which consists of several fabric collections to better address each man's personal needs and preferences, extends and emphasizes what you already love about Grigioperla. The Nero Perla line is defined by beautifully subdued, solid neutrals that allow the exquisite fabrics and careful, masterfully executed construction to shine through. The briefs and trunks are both low-rise for a body-flattering look and instant sex appeal that is enhanced by the sheer quality of the fabric. The hint of skin tone just under the fabric is just enough to leave an impression without overdoing it. The same can be said of the overall design of the underwear. Minimal detail with emphasis on color and fabric quality gives the Skin Nero Perla collection an elegance and air of luxury that doesn't require a label to communicate itself. All Grigioperla t-shirts are cut for a trim embrace that allows them to be discreetly concealed underneath your dress shirts.
Grigioperla's story begins over 50 years ago in Italy when La Perla was founded in 1954. Originally the company only produced corsets. The name "La Perla" originates from the clamshell boxes lined with red velvet that the corsets came in- the corsets themselves being "the pearls." Grigioperla, or "gray pearl," benefits from the generations of experience in crafting fine underwear that La Perla has cultivated. It's no secret that the male anatomy is different from a females, but both men and women enjoy well-fitting underwear made of the highest quality fabrics. The design of the line has a distinctly masculine look and feel with just enough sex appeal to set it apart and make it interesting.
Most of Grigioperla's briefs and trunk boxer briefs are flyless, as they have contour pouches instead of functional flies. Much like Grigioperla, contour pouches are a new addition to the underwear world, but have fast become an extremely popular and desired feature of men's underwear. Contour pouches offer the roomy comfort of a boxer, with the hold of a brief. Basic fly-fronts have no hold or support whatsoever. You're just held up against yourself, but contour pouches solve that problem. You often exchange the convenience of a fly for the benefits of a contour pouch, but many men are happy to make the trade. If you'd rather not lose your fly-front, then there's always the Grigioperla Comfort and Comfort line collections. They offer some of the comforting support of a contour pouch with a contour seam at the base, but also feature an open fly.
Grigioperla has dedicated itself to being a lifestyle brand. In addition to their full selection of underwear basics, from briefs, boxer briefs, and mens thongs in a variety of silhouettes and rises, as well as crewneck and v-neck t-shirts that work as both under and outerwear, Grigioperla has also crafted a line of fine luxury swimwear. Grigioperla makes the most of when you're wearing the least by using only the finest cottons and synthetics to create their incredible garments. A man needs nothing more than Grigoperla, and should demand nothing less.

Shakespeare published 154 sonnets, and although they are all poems that are of the highest quality, there are some that have entered deeply into the consciousness of our culture to become the most famous of Shakespeare's sonnets. These most famous sonnets are quoted regularly by people at all levels of modern western life – sometimes without even realising that they are quoting a line from a Shakespeare sonnet.
The most famous sonnets approach the great universal themes of love and death, or the slow ageing that precedes death. So, what are these most famous sonnets? In our humble opinion the sonnets below represent Shakespeare's most famous:
Sonnet 18: Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Perhaps the most famous of all the sonnets is Sonnet 18, where Shakespeare addresses a young man to whom he is very close. It would be impossible to say whether Shakespeare was an arrogant man because we don't know what he was like. We also don't know whether he thought he was the 'great,' immortal writer that we regard him as today. However, after describing the young man's great beauty, he suggests that his poetry is 'eternal' and ends by stating that as long as there are people who can still read, the sonnet, and therefore the description of the young man's beauty, will still be there.
Sonnet 30: When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
An interesting take on ageing and love. The narrator describes the things that people agonise over as they descend into old age – all the regrets and the pain of reliving the mistakes he has made. It's full of agony but when he thinks about his beloved all the regrets and pain evaporate.
Sonnet 33: Full many a glorious morning have I seen
This is a poem about loss; the loss of a loved one. Shakespeare approaches it by expressing the contrast in the way we feel when the morning sun is shining brightly and when it's obscured by clouds, making the world a forlorn place. When he was loved by the beloved it was like the glorious morning, but now, having lost the beloved, it feels like an overcast and gloomy morning. He concludes that he doesn't condemn the beloved because human frailty, even among the best of humanity, is just as much a part of nature as the obscuring clouds are.
Sonnet 73: That time of year thou mayst in me behold
The narrator of Sonnet 73 is approaching death and thinking about how different it is from being young. It's like the branch of a tree where birds once sang but the birds have gone and the leaves have fallen, leaving only a few dry yellow leaves. It's like the twilight of a beautiful day, where there is only the black night ahead. It's like the glowing ashes of a fire that once roared. The things that one gave him life have destroyed his life. From that experience he has learnt that one has to love life as strongly as one can because it will end all too soon.
Sonnet 104: To me, fair friend, you never can be old
Here Shakespeare expresses the love one person has for another by showing how the beauty of the beloved doesn't change in the eyes of the lover. He shows time passing through the seasons and the years, everything changing. Except the beauty of the beloved. He goes further by saying that no matter how long the world will endure, even though the beloved is long dead there will never be another as beautiful.
Sonnet 116: Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments
There are two striking definitions of love that we refer to again and again. Perhaps the most popular of the two is in Paul's letter to the Corinthians (Corinthians 13: 4-8):
Love is patient, love is kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude.
Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends.
Paul's text is as well known as Sonnet 116 because it is used in most weddings as the young couple stands before the minister. But Shakespeare's sonnet employs an amazing array of poetic devices to convey the eternal nature of love. Shakespeare ends by staking everything on his observations about love by asserting that if he is wrong about it then no-one ever wrote anything and no-one ever loved.
Sonnet 129: The expense of spirit in a waste of shame
Sonnet 129 is an interesting take on the imperative force of lust, but its ultimate shallowness. Everyone knows how shallow and guilt producing lust is but very few men can avoid it. Shakespeare shows how lust brings out the very worst in people and the extremes they will go to. And then he explains the guilt that follows the satisfaction of one's lust.
Sonnet 130: My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun
Shakespeare is expressing the kind of love that has nothing to do with the beloved's looks. He satirises the usual way of expressing love for a woman – praising her lips and her hair, the way she walks, and all the things that a young man may rave about when he thinks about his beloved. What he does is invert those things, assert that his beloved is ugly, ungainly, bad-smelling etc, but ends by saying that his love for her is as 'rare' as that of any young man who writes flatteringly about the object of his love.

Orlaith Gardiner says:
'My Mistress eyes are nothing like the sun' could actually be interpreted as him saying that he is not going to lie about what his Mistress looks like, after all nobody's eyes are like the sun – that would kill – and if hair was wire than black wires would grow on her head, if hairs were wires than red wires grow on my head. So in this sonnet he is basically just taking the Micky of his sonnet 18. That is the way i was taught by my drama teacher, a professional shakespearean actor 🙂

I think that you should add the fact about what date the sonnets were popular

loved it. thanks a lot!

A Happy Surprise
Thanks for all your "release me early from jury duty" vibes, because it worked! I got out around noon! Woo hoo.
I was able to go to my seamstress and pick up a slipcover and do some client shopping. While walking around the mall I stopped in my tracks at the sight of Chiang Mai Dragon all around me!
I walked right in and had no clue what store I had stepped foot in. While I have samples of the print in fabric and wallpaper I had never seen so much of it. Turn out I was in the new Vera Bradley shop.
About 8 years ago I thought Vera Bradley was…farty! There I said it! Then about 5 years ago it slowly started making it's way into my heart and I went nutty with it. All of my gifts to people ended up being Vera Bradley and I have quite a few of min. My obsession has died down these couple of years, but I still enjoy peeking at all of their pretty patterns and now store.
Normally I wouldn't match Chiang Mai Dragon with country style, but it really looks great in the store.
Here is a peek that shows off their ceiling painted in a punchy green apple.
They had botanical prints sprinkled all throughout.
Walking further into the store I was met with another old friend. Do you spy what I spy?
The rest of the store was a bit more country, but still really enjoyable for me.
Has anyone else stepped into one of their shops?
* Sorry for the weird angles on some of the pictures. I was trying to be discreet with my iphone!
Hope you all have a lovely weekend!!!!!

Anyone who's played a Portal game knows that Aperture Science's charmingly neurotic turrets are full of bullets. And CEO Cave Johnson showed off their design in this teaser video last year.
But artist Andrew Gabbott has gone above and beyond in his turret love, rendering by hand an incredibly detailed breakaway view of the Portal 2 enemies. Gabbott captured the painstaking process in the timelapse video above and you've got to respect the man's skills after watching it the whole thing in sped-up fashion. Those who want to wear or own Gabbott's turret drawing can go to his official site.

mark anderson needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 83 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
Attorney needs a book cover design for book about the personal injury claim process.

I can hear his voice before I see the fall, and watch as the board flies into the air, slamming into a nearby bench.
"Dude!" a voice calls out. "You OK?"
"I'm good."
He rises slowly, shaking his head. I immediately spot a bright red, angry-looking cut on his left knee. He plays it cool, though, barely glancing down at the injury, jogging over to the bench to retrieve his battered skateboard. I resist the urge to get out my first aid kit, knowing the wrath I will incur if I whip out so much as a Band-Aid.
The woman in the car beside mine gives me a sympathetic smile. We're about the same age, drive the same car and are both drinking Dunkin' Donuts coffee. The only discernible difference between us is that she is waiting for her teenage son at the skate park, and I'm waiting for my 42-year-old husband, Jason.
You may have seen Jason, or someone else like him, cruising down the street, sideswiping cars. Or perhaps you've spotted him at the local skate park, skating and joking around with kids who are less than half his age. He is graying at the temples, and may have a bit of a paunch. He likely has a desk job, wears a suit and tie during the week and has a couple of kids and a mortgage. On the weekends, however, he whips out his stained, ripped, 30-year-old skater shorts, heads over to his local skate park and returns to a younger version of himself — the dude who first learned how to bomb a hill at age 14.
"I will always have love for this sport," says John Bartolo, 40, of Centerport. Bartolo, a fine art printmaker when he's not ripping it up, has been skating since he was 13, and credits skateboarding with sparking his interest in surfing and snowboarding — hobbies he still actively pursues. His only concession to his age has been the switch to a long board, which he says seems to cause fewer accidents. "I have a family to think about now," Bartolo says. "But I still get a thrill every time I skate. It keeps me young at heart."
Peter Rosseland, also 40 and from Port Washington, echoes Bartolo's endorsement. "The small hairs on the back of my neck still stand up before dropping in," he says. "I will love this sport forever, and plan to skateboard until I can no longer walk."

Yum!!! That looks sooooo good!!!
I wonder if you would have had better luck with Steve if you had used boneless pork chops?

This looks delicious to me...to bad that Steve doesn't like pork- he doesn't know what he's missing!

Ok, I'm with Steve.....I'm not a pork chop fan :( But, and a BIG BUT...I think this recipe might change my mind!

- Dajana said...
I have to say, that I'd prefer pork to beef any time.
This does look and sound great to me.
My mom would just add a few tablspoons of water and sour cream, after browning the chops, cover and cook shortly. I always loved it that way.

I am seriously, seriously craving this right now. It looks AMAZING!

I never liked pork until I had a stuffed pork tenderloin.
Maybe we can get Steve to like that?

- October 29, 2009 at 3:24 PM
I wanted to add--These pork chops look like a dish Mark would love (in our family he is the pork chop lover), so I'm going to add this to my week's dinner menu.
Does Steve like pulled pork or pork roast?
- October 30, 2009 at 2:15 PM
- Michele said...
Thank you everyone!
Spryte - I've made boneless pork chops and Steve claims they are too dry.
Jen - I add kalamata olives to everything!
Stacey - I tried it once but I am still willing to give that another shot.
Nina - Steve's had pulled pork and he's eaten it (very rare) but he doesn't love it. Give him prosciutto, pancetta or bacon and watch him gobble that up!
- October 30, 2009 at 2:22 PM

It looks absolutely delicious... If Steve ain't gonna eat it, I will gladly take it off his hands... :)
- October 30, 2009 at 4:29 PM

aww, michele thats too bad that steve didn't like it. Well, we all know that it has nothing to do with the cooking of the dish. His taste buds are just "off" LOL. It looks wonderful!

Terrafirma BrakesPosted on: January 30, 2013 by megan
Terrafirma brake discs offer increased bite from cold and excellent fade resistance in most 4WD braking applications. Whether it's a steep rocky descent, ploughing through mud and water or just daily driving these brake discs will give excellent stopping performance in all conditions.
Grooves are machined into the brake disc to force away the dust and gasses that build up between the pad and disc, keeping the brakes cooler and reducing fade. The cross drillings contribute to cooling and heat dissipation and also allow the gasses to escape. Of course they fill with mud when off road, clean them out afterwards when washing the vehicle to maintain performance and pad life. With the angled grooves it is found that they self clean in most cases. Quality machining to high tolerances using the correct materials ensure Terrafirma brake discs will withstand any test.
With overweight four-wheel drive vehicles with oversize tyres it's important to find a set of brake pads that really do perform. A heavily laden expedition vehicle will quickly overheat brakes, very large tyres fitted to off road vehicles also require extra brake pedal pressure to stop them turning. Many so-called performance pads are better suited to sports type driving styles where heat is required and can be maintained to enable the pads to really work. Even some well-known brands require the temperature to build up before they start to work effectively.
To get the best from Terrafirma Cross Drilled and Grooved (CDG) brake discs we recommend the use of high quality brake pads such as Lockheed or TRW for best results. These pads give good bite from cold, work well off road especially in low range with high torque engines and transmissions driving against the brakes. They have high wear resistance, low noise and above all when combined with Terrafirma CDG brake discs give a much improved braking performance.
For Terrafirma brake discs part numbers it is possible to simply apply CDG suffix to the original part numbers.

Kerry Seeks To Boost Afghan, Pakistan Ties
BRUSSELS (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has brought senior Afghan and Pakistani officials together for security talks aimed at improving relations between the two nations ahead of next year's withdrawal of NATO combat forces from Afghanistan.
Kerry was meeting Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Pakistani military chief Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani on Wednesday at Truman Hall, the secluded estate on the outskirts of Brussels that is home to the U.S. Ambassador to NATO. Kerry said as he opened the meeting that the talks were important, as Afghanistan is currently in a "critical transformational period."
Ties between Afghanistan and Pakistan have long been strained over links between Pakistan's security apparatus and the Taliban. The U.S. supports Afghan-Taliban reconciliation but Karzai has said the effort must have Pakistan's backing to succeed.

SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium (Reuters) - Fernando Alonso set the record straight on Thursday about a rare public rebuke from Ferrari for unflattering comments he made about his car last month.
"I think it was wrong information coming to the president," he said of comments made by Ferrari's Luca Di Montezemolo and published on the team website on the driver's 32nd birthday and the day after the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Ferrari said at the time that Montezemolo had "tweaked" Alonso's ear after the Spaniard, asked by Italian reporters what kind of a car he wanted as a present, had replied: "The one the others have".
Speaking to reporters at the Belgian Grand Prix, Alonso said Ferrari had gone back through recordings of his news conferences and found "nothing different to any other grand prix, nothing different in the team.
"I tried to push for the best for the team and for our performance," he added.
The double world champion also shrugged off speculation surrounding his future, with rumors running wild after his manager Luis Garcia Abad was seen entering the Red Bull motorhome in Hungary for discussions with team principal Christian Horner.
Abad said he had been discussing rising Spanish prospect Carlos Sainz junior, a Red Bull young driver and son of the former world rally champion.
"I think the president is a very intelligent man to separate what is rumors and what can be true. He never asked me anything," said Alonso, when asked whether he would be at Ferrari next year.
"We have both been in F1 for many years now and we know what the Summer break means in terms of rumors so there were never questions. He is the man that helps all of us to keep our heads down, our feet in the ground and committed to the team."
Alonso, who is third overall and 39 points behind Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel after 10 of 19 races, said the feverish speculation and intense attention went with the territory of being a Ferrari driver.
"The lesson is that anything we do, the repercussion of being in Ferrari or the repercussion of what Ferrari does is bigger than any other. This is the best team in the world," he declared.
The Spaniard pointed out that he gave news conferences in three different languages, two of them foreign. "And I am from the north, so don't speak perfect Spanish," he added.
He said he had remained in close contact with the team throughout the August break and had talked to Montezemolo daily.
"In the first days (it was) because of this press release (the rebuke) etc and now for different things, not only F1 but also holidays, Real Madrid's start, Juventus that won the Italian Cup," he explained.
"It was a very good summer and now we have the batteries full for this championship."
Vettel has won four races this season while Alonso, who led the German at the same point last year, has just two to his credit.
The Spaniard, who was pitched out of last year's race at Spa by Lotus's Romain Grosjean in a first lap collision that earned the Frenchman a one race ban, said Ferrari needed to keep believing they could turn the situation around.
"The last two or three seasons we have some good examples of what we can do, what we can hope for if we do things right. For this, we need to improve the car, we need to make some parts work," he said.
"The first step in that program is here in Spa, to try to see some performance gain and try to deliver what people expect from us."

Involving Afghans for Success
Current rehabilitation and development rhetoric calls for listening to the Afghans and giving them the lead. Sadly, actions too often defy these wise words. The challenge is to make way for genuine in depth Afghan involvement at a time when the problems inherent in a lackluster government beset with corruption are so complex, and, particularly, when the aid-dispensing agencies so often disregard coordination and cooperation.
Politics within the prevailing environment of conflict imposes a sense of great urgency, no doubt, but many basic development principles are being set aside when they are most needed. Plans that rest on massive projects designed by outsiders lavishing too much money and demanding instant implementation are bound to be ineffective. Quick fixes never have worked. Throwing around money indiscriminately just compounds problems and raises new dilemmas. Sustained development, as has been established for decades, requires patient on the ground interactions over time.

Ed Hellwig over at the line that's always straight — one of the many sites that when combined together form the auto industry super-site that is Edmunds — looks to have snagged some pics taken by KGP of what appears to be a Corvette SS (Z07, Blue Devil, etc) powertrain mule on a test track in Europe. The Z07 (or whatever) seems to be partaking of some side-by-side comparison track time with a Ferrari 599. The always straightly-lined Edmunds site postulates it may have something to do with "reworking" the Delphi magnetically adjustable shock absorber system used by both vehicles. We happen to think it's "Maximum" Bob Lutz deciding to take his new up-powered super-toy into some super-screaming pissing matches with what he believes will be the competition. Well, probably more likely the shock absorber thing, but a man can dream, can't he? Anyone else notice the similarities between the vette in the spy shot above, and a certain powertrain mule you'll remember from a while back? In case your memory needs a jog, we've re-included the picture gallery below.

Re: Vi command question
First let me say I love Viemu and have from the moment I first used it! Finally the one tool I need has arrived.
1. Can I insert a blank line using o and O without going into insert mode?
2. When I yank and paste words is there a way to paste it on a new line instead of just p and P for character placement?
These aren't complaints about Viemu I just want to find out if there are commands available to do this. If not that's ok.

The bumpy roads and broken sidewalks and overgrown trees end when you leave the city limits of Los Angeles and enter Burbank or Glendale — there should be signs saying, "Welcome to Paradise."
In contrast to the warring factions — business, civic, neighborhood groups — fighting over crumbs from the table of power in L.A., people along Olive Avenue in Burbank and Brand Boulevard in Glendale seem content as I chat them up. Most are unaware City Council elections are fast approaching — Burbank's first round is in February and Glendale's is in April — and those who do know seem little concerned about who wins.
It isn't apathy; people are happy with the way things are. After all, 94% in Burbank are satisfied with city services, according to a recent poll, and 90% in Glendale based on the last time the city asked.
Having fought for cityhood for the San Fernando Valley, and having worked hard to help make Los Angeles the great city it can be, I relish the opportunity explore smaller neighboring cities that seem to be thriving while L.A. is dying.
My first stops in my exploration are the offices of the people in charge, offices that are not guarded by armed cops or metal detectors, suggesting they don't regard the public as dangerous enemies as in L.A.
Burbank City Manager Mike Flad talks about growing up in the city and moving up through the ranks during his more than 20 years on the city payroll. He talks about civic pride in a city "where so many were born and raised and still live here" and how they respond generously "to meet the needs."
Yet, few residents show up for council meetings, the blogs about city issues are sporadic, and civic engagement beyond the occasional neighborhood controversy seems low.
"Kumbaya, that's the attitude of a lot of people," Flad suggests. "We can do better."
Burbank, unlike L.A., has little debt, using redevelopment revenue to build parks and recreation programs, upgrade the infrastructure, revive the business district and attract the Walt Disney Co. and other entertainment companies.
The city spends nearly $70 million a year from redevelopment funds — equal to nearly half the General Fund budget — and regards the money as vital to the city's health, putting Burbank, like many cities, at odds with Gov. Jerry Brown's proposal to eliminate all such agencies as a critical part of restoring California to fiscal health.
Burbank faces a big — and growing problem — with an $8.8-million deficit next fiscal year, nearly all due to soaring costs of public employee pensions and health benefits that city officials unwisely decided to increase sharply less than a decade ago.
Flad is worried but not desperate. Maybe the unions will cooperate; maybe the economy will pick up in a year or two. Then again, maybe not.
There are long-standing problems in the Police Department regarding accusations of racial and gender discrimination, as well as traffic congestion that will get worse if the NBC Universal projects go through at Universal City. Unemployment is below the national and state averages, and a third less than L.A., but revenue is down and businesses are struggling.
At the modern complex of concrete buildings at Glendale City Hall, I stumble into the city clerk's office looking for the city manager's office. A clerk gives me directions, making sure to hand me a stamped voucher so I get free parking.
What, am I in Mayberry?
Well, no. This is a city twice the size of Burbank with high unemployment, a high welfare rate, and complex demographics representing dramatic changes in the last two decades.
It is also a retail giant with the addition of the Americana at Brand across from the Glendale Galleria — both subsidized by community redevelopment money.
City Manager Jim Starbird is on vacation, so I meet with his No. 2, Yasmin Beers, who grew up in Glendale, has worked for the city for 23 years, and feels "lucky to be a public servant."
She has just come from a meeting in which Glendale, following the lead of L.A., locked up its redevelopment money in defiance of the governor's budget balancing plan.
Like Flad, she says these vast sums are vital to provide affordable housing, infrastructure improvements and investment to create jobs and businesses that generate tax revenue.
Glendale's biggest problems are traffic and lack of affordable housing, with 5,000 people on a waiting list. Like every city, there are also state regulations requiring drastic steps to reach clean-energy goals and long-term water shortage issues.
City officials have taken a long series of steps to reduce costs, but a $13-million budget deficit looms, so more cuts are coming, more staff shrinkage, more consolidation.
"Quality-of-life issues are our focus," Beers said, "jobs, arts, culture, recreation. Public participation is paramount as we move forward."
She is talking to my core belief. With shrinking budgets and structural economic changes occurring, we need a new scale to measure the quality of our lives — even in paradise — and that requires a higher level of civic engagement from service clubs, neighborhood groups and those who take it all for granted.
The future of our cities will increasingly depend on the participation of the people who have the most to gain or lose: the residents.

Rick Little and Vince Tirpak have been together for 15 years, and on Tuesday morning they became the first same-sex couple to tie the knot by Kent County Clerk of the Peace Loretta Wooten.
Rick Little and Vince Tirpak have been together for 15 years, and on Tuesday morning they became the first same-sex couple to tie the knot by Kent County Clerk of the Peace Loretta Wooten.
Wooten performed the ceremony in the chapel at the County Complex just after 11 a.m. on Tuesday.
"We feel lucky to be able to do this," Tirpak said. "We didn't think that we would be able to see it in our lifetimes. We're so happy that it did happen."
The couple was amongst a handful of others who took advantage of the marriage equality law going into effect. Twelve couples had their civil unions converted into marriages and four marriage licenses were issued to same-sex couples on Monday, Wooten said.
"It was kind of hectic and busy," Wooten said. "We made out really well. My office had been preparing and planning for this for a while. We were pretty much ready for it."
Tirpak views this process as a step forward for same-sex couples across the state.
"This makes us equal now to everybody else," he said. "That's probably the most important thing. Everybody is a person and they should be treated the same."
Several other same-sex marriages were scheduled for this week. Wooten has eight weddings scheduled between Friday and Saturday, though she is expecting that those will be a mix of same-sex and heterosexual marriages.
Little and Tirpak didn't plan on being the first same-sex couple married in the county. It was just a happy coincidence, they said.
The couple met when they were out with their two respective groups of friends at the same restaurant. Everyone in the two groups of friends already knew each other, except for Tirpak and Little.
"They introduced us and I thought to myself 'he's noticing me. I'm so lucky,'" Tirpak said.
Ironically, the men grew up half an hour away from each other and had never met before. Tirpak grew up in Pittsburgh and Little grew up neighboring Ohio.
The couple now lives in Smyrna and are raising five children together. Their children range from age 15 to 32. Their children are happy to finally see their parents united, Little said.
Little and Tirpak are celebrating their marriage with a Fourth of July picnic with family in Pittsburgh. The big celebration will come next year. They have a bigger beach-themed ceremony planned for next year. "We just wanted to do this part because we've waited so long," Little said.
Two of their loved ones were there to support them on Tuesday. Patricia Mitchell and Emily Knearl served as witnesses at the ceremony.
"I was thrilled to be asked to be a witness," Knearl said. "Delaware is long overdue to celebrate marriage between gay adults. Today is a historic day for Kent County. I'm just excited to be here."
While the couple didn't plan to be the first couple married in the county, now that it's done they're happy to leave their mark on history.
"It was a long fight to get where everybody is," Little said. "Now we're here so it's time for us to enjoy the same benefits that everyone else has always enjoyed."

Some Real Heat
A film by
Stefanie Jordan
Germany, 2001, 54 minutes, Color, DVD, English
Order No. W03777
SOME REAL HEAT explores the small and relatively new world of female firefighters in San Francisco and their upward climb to gain access to a male-dominated field. Armed with axes, chainsaws, muscle, heart and determination, six daring women demonstrate how they single-handedly turn gender roles upside down by putting their lives on the line everyday in one of the riskiest jobs around. As they passionately talk about the tools of the trade, overcoming their fears and helping others, they reveal the fascinating history of women fire fighters and the gender bias that barred them from officially entering the U.S. Fire Department until 1974. They also explain the important role women paramedics play in fire departments and the surprising number of medical emergencies that they attend to on a weekly basis � a number that far outweighs actually putting out fires. Uncovering the myth and reality of this dangerous profession, this inspiring piece intimately delves into the strength and character that distinguishes these women as true modern-day heroes.

��wry and thought-provoking�directly engages the cultural codes associated with firefighting�as well as the intractable problems of racism, sexism, and homophobia in the ranks�A perfect companion to Hammering it Out.�
Joseph Boles

"�this documentary makes one rethink still ingrained sexist assumptions about what professions women can enter�It resists sensationalizing or glamorizing the deeds of the firefighters. Instead, we leave with some real respect for these bold women."

Raymond B. Hughes, 67, of Hammondsport, NY, passed away of natural causes at his home on July 6, 2014. He was born on June 7, 1947, the son of Marion F. and Claude F. Hughes. He graduated from Hammondsport Central School in 1965, attended SUNY Cobleskill, where he majored in Agriculture, and was a member of Theta Gamma Epsilon, before being critically injured as a passenger in a car accident, that left him with lifelong leg problems. He later graduated from Corning Community College. He was a kind and generous soul, who dedicated his life to growing grapes for Finger Lakes wineries. He was also a devout Christian, who obtained his certification as a Lay Minister. Raymond was predeceased by his parents, his older brother Claude B. Hughes, and great-nephew, Camden P. Hughes. He will be deeply missed by his loving daughter, Heather R. (Nathan) Sensabaugh, as well as his sisters, Jan Wagner and Durinda Hughes, both of Hammondsport, Dedra Willhoite, of Austin, Texas, two aunts, a niece, three nephews and several cousins and friends. A celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, July 12, from 4pm-10pm, above McGregor's Vinyards, 5503 Dutch Street, in Dundee, NY. Calling hours will be held at Mitchellsville Methodist Church, 8421 County Rte. 13, Bath, NY, from 1pm-3pm on Sunday, July 13, with a memorial service directly following. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Humane Society or Mitchellsville Methodist Church in his name. www.lamarchefuneralhome.com

MinGW Installation Notes
MinGW may have problems with paths containing spaces, and if not, usually other programs used with MinGW will experience problems with such paths. Thus, we strongly recommend that you do not install MinGW in any location with spaces in the path name reference; i.e. you should avoid installing into any subdirectory of "Program Files" or "My Documents", or the like.
No version numbering convention exists for MinGW as a whole. Each package has its own version number, and the installer version number does not necessarily reflect the version number of any individual package which it installs.
Graphical User Interface Installer
The GUI installer is a graphical user interface to the CLI mingw-get installer described below. To use it:
- Download and run the latest mingw-get-inst version.
- Select the directory to install MinGW, remembering the advice given above that the path to this directory should not contain any spaces.
- Select the optional components to be installed, including the C++, Fortran, Objective-C, and Ada compilers and MSYS.
The GUI installer will then download and run the mingw-get CLI installer to install GCC version 4.5. Note that make and gdb are installed automatically by the GUI installer. Before using MinGW, you should add C:\MinGW\bin; to the PATH environment variable using the instructions provided below.
The release notes contain more detailed information about the configuration and use of the mingw-get-inst installer.
Note that to use mingw, you'll need to run Start Menu => Programs => Mingw => MinGW Shell, or set your path manually (see below).
Command Line Interface Installer
The recommended tool for automated installation is mingw-get; although currently designated 'alpha', this is already capable of installing GCC 4.5 and the basic (optional) MSYS shell environment recommended to support it. (Do note, however, that since it is still under development, we may ask you to manually perform some follow-up actions, which you might rightfully expect the installer to complete for you; eventually it will, but in the meantime, please bear with us).
Download the latest version of the mingw-get installer and extract the files to the C:\MinGW directory using a program that can extract zip files. Recent versions of Windows may support this directly from the Windows Explorer; alternatively you may use a program such as 7-Zip.
Add C:\MinGW\bin; to the PATH environment variable by opening the System control panel, going to the Advanced tab, and clicking the Environment Variables button. If you currently have a Command Prompt window open, it will not recognize the change to the environment variables; you will need to open a new Command Prompt window to get the new PATH.
At the Command Prompt, cd to bin and type the command
mingw-get install gcc
to download and install the C compiler, and its requisite support packages; (mingwrt, w32api and binutils, for those interested).Additionally, you can specify any or all of the following additional packages:
- g++ (C++ compiler)
- fortran (Fortran 90/95 compiler)
- ada (Ada compiler)
- java (Java compiler)
- objc (Objective-C compiler)
- mingw32-make (GNU make)
- gdb (GNU debugger)
- msys-base (MSYS shell environment)
For example, the command
mingw-get install gcc g++ mingw32-make
will install the C compiler, C++ compiler, and make utility.You can install more additional packages at any time. For example, the command
mingw-get install fortran gdb
will add the Fortran 90/95 compiler and debugger to the existing installation.If you choose to also install 'msys-base', note that its default installation path is 'C:\MSYS\1.0', and the easiest way to start the shell is by running the msys.bat file found in that directory. You may also wish to run the command
within the MSYS shell, the first time you start it. (This is a temporary measure, to establish bindings between your MinGW and MSYS installations; it will become unnecessary, when a post-install scripting capability is added to mingw-get).
The mingw-get release notes contain more detailed information about the configuration and use of the mingw-get installer. GCC documentation, make documentation, and GDB documentation are available online.
- The installers do not automatically modify any environment settings, (in particular the PATH). You will need to add the MinGW `bin' directory, as described: see Environment Settings.
- For versions of MSYS prior to MSYS-1.0.11; do not install MinGW into the same path as MSYS; (you may install to a subdirectory of the MSYS tree, as long as non-MSYS executables are not placed in the MSYS /bin directory). You probably don't have to worry about this.
- When you install both MSYS and MinGW, and have /mingw mapped to your MinGW directory (as is the default), if you then install ports, supplementary MinGW programs or dependency libraries, you are advised to install them into the /mingw directory tree, to ensure that they will be available for use with GCC; e.g. you should configure with
../path/to/configure --prefix=/mingw
../path/to/configure --prefix=`cd /mingw; pwd -W`
(This latter form is preferred, when the program being installed is a native Windows binary, and the prefix may be hard coded into the executable).
Environment Settings
When you install command line tools, such as MinGW, or GnuWin32 tools, you have to tell the command line interpreter where to find them; this is usually accomplished by adding the appropriate directory names to the PATH variable in your environment. Typically, it is your responsibility to do this; please do not expect the installer, (if you used one), to do it for you. If you use the GUI installer, it will create a start menu "Shell" shortcut that essentially sets up the path for you--following these instructions allows you to run it from the normal command prompt.
Warning: Adding entries to the PATH is normally benign. However, if you delete, you may mess up your PATH string, and you could seriously compromise the functioning of your computer. Please be careful.
- Right-click on "My Computer" and select "Properties".
- Click Advanced -> Environment Variables.
- In the box entitled "System Variables" scroll down to the line that says "PATH" and double-click the entry.
- You will be presented with a dialog box with two text boxes, the bottom text box allows you to edit the PATH variable. It is very important that you do not delete the existing values in the PATH string, this will cause all sorts of problems for you!
- Scroll to the end of the string and at the end add ";<installation-directory>\bin". Here <installation-directory> is the full absolute path name of the installation directory; if you accepted the defaults when installing tar and gzip, then for these, it will (probably) be C:\Program Files\GnuWin32, while for MinGW it will be C:\MinGW\bin, (if you kept to the recommended default installation directory). Don't forget the semicolon; this separates the entries in the PATH.
- press OK -> OK -> OK and you are done.
Note that you may can also add \mingw\msys\1.0\local\bin, and mingw\msys\1.0\bin to your path as well, if you want to be able to use bundled msys executables (replace with full path to your directories).
Manual Installation
As an alternative to the automated installer, you may install MinGW by manually downloading and extracting individual components. Please refer to HOWTO Install the MinGW (GCC) Compiler Suite for information on manual installation.

Miley Cyrus And Her New Tattoo (PIC)
Miley has been quite the bad girl in the recent months. Or that's how the paparazzi have have made her seem. They have even managed to snap a shot of her 5th tattoo. You might be thinking "FIFTH tattoo?" but it's got a surprisingly good story behind it.
Teenage girls recently voted her their worst role model.
And Miley Cyrus has certainly been living up to the title, between being caught on video smoking a bong, very adult acts of passion with her boyfriend in nightclubs and underage drinking.
The once-squeaky clean star has been working overtime to shed her famous Hannah Montana image, and has just acquired another tattoo to add to her large collection of body art and piercings.
The 18-year-old seemed keen to show off her new ink while out and about in Hollywood, wearing a T-shirt with a conspicuous hole in the side that was conveniently placed over the tattoo.
Miley has another etching on the opposite side of her rib cage that says 'Just breathe.'
The tattoo, which Miley had done in December 2009, is understood to be in tribute to a nine-year-old girl called Vanessa who passed away from cystic fibrosis in 2007.
Cyrus met Vanessa at a Los Angeles hospital and instantly connected with her, describing her as one of her best friends.

Miley Cyrus to hit studio with Flaming Lips for next record
MILEY CYRUS is recruiting her pal WAYNE COYNE and his band the FLAMING LIPS for her next album.
The pop star has built up a strong bond with the rocker since they met last year (13), and she wants him to help give her follow-up to hit album Bangerz a more authentic sound.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Cyrus says, "On my last record, everything we did was with computers. But they're real musicians - they can change keys on a whim. I've never seen anything like it. They've had me on this journey that's greater than anything I've been on. It's really deep."
This won't be their first collaboration - Cyrus teamed up with the band for its upcoming Beatles covers album on two tracks, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds and A Day in the Life.

Three Dog Night will celebrate more than 40 years of music when the band returns Sunday to the Pacific Amphitheatre.
The evening will include an opening performance from the Guess Who followed by two sets — roughly 80 to 85 minutes of music — by Three Dog Night.
The Grammy-nominated band is famous for its classic rock hits "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)," "Joy to the World," "Shambala," "One," "Celebrate," and "Black and White," which are still heard in commercials and movies and on oldies stations.
The band's name came from a story about Australian aborigines who, on cold nights in the outback, would sleep with their dogs for warmth.
The coldest evenings were known as "three dog nights."
Nowadays, the group's membership includes founding members Cory Wells and Danny Hutton on lead vocals, as well as original keyboardist Jimmy Greenspoon and guitarist Michael Allsup. Bassist and vocalist Paul Kingery and drummer Pat Bautz complete the lineup.
The band continues to play 60 to 80 show dates a year. And the last three dates of their 2012 tour have broken attendance records, according to Hutton.
"It [the dynamic] is wonderful," the 69-year-old said in phone interview. "Forty-two years later, we got it down.
"We're going to do all of the hits, and if you like the records, we sound like the records. We'll probably go deep into the catalog and do a couple songs that people haven't heard. And, we'll be doing a couple of new songs.
"But it's tough to put in new songs with the amount of hits we've had. It's hard to put something in between two gold singles."
The band's new material includes "Heart of Blues" and an a-cappella ballad, "Prayer of the Children," both of which were released in 2009.
In addition, "The Best of Three Dog Night: 20th Century Masters The Millennium Collection" was released in 2010 on the Geffen/UMe record label.
"We're excited because we will be receiving a platinum award after the show [at the Pacific Amphitheatre] for our "The Best of…" album that came out, Hutton said. "It was on the [Billboard Top 200 Album] charts for 42 weeks this year."
But even today, the band's formula for making records has not changed.
"All you can do, I think, is follow quality," Hutton said. "Don't follow trends. When you either create or hear a song that you really like that calls to you, just do it as best as you can and always try to bring in original sounds or little ideas vocally. And that's about all you can do."
In its beginnings, Three Dog Night recorded music of the best — and mostly undiscovered — new songwriters of their time, such as Harry Nilsson, Randy Newman, Elton John, Laura Nyro, Paul Williams and Hoyt Axton among many others.
The band boasts 21 consecutive Top 40 hits, including three No. 1 singles, 11 Top 10s, 18 straight Top 20s, 7 million singles sold and 12 straight Recording Industry Assn. of America Certified Gold LPs.
Their hits appeared on bestselling charts in all genres, including pop, rock and country.
"We do so many genres of music that we are pretty open," Hutton said. "We've been on all of the musical charts — rhythm and blues to easy listening. "
The band even tackled classical music when they recorded at Abbey Road Studios with the London Symphony Orchestra.
But interestingly enough, the recipe for Three Dog Night's longevity has always been simple.
"[The formula is] good songs, melodic with a lot of harmonies in them," Hutton said. "They are songs that are all about emotions, so they have got a lot of shelf life. I don't think emotions ever really get dated.
"And then, we do songs that are fun, that are happy, up tempo songs also. And that doesn't get old. I think anyone leaving our concert will leave with a smile on their face."
Instead of exploring darker topics and politics, the band tries "to uplift everybody." That alone has broadened its fan base and pulled in listeners from younger generations, Hutton said.
"We get people our age — the grandparents to their sons and daughters to their grandchildren," Hutton said.
In the future, fans can expect more tour dates, and new material that is being finished up and readied for release soon.
"We are just going to keep on keeping on, Hutton said with a laugh.
"You know, I don't know what's going to happen, except I don't want to retire. We're going to keep on making music and as the people keep coming out to see us, I want to be there. I'll keep doing it until it's no longer fun, and I don't think that will ever happen."

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 23 diseños de 6 diseñadores freelance.
Freedom Lawn
I am an entrepreneur in Pennsylvania running a lawn care company that is drastically changing its image. We specialize in cutting lawns and fertilizing lawns.We will be the FIRST in our state to run alternative fueled lawn mowers and are gearing our whole business towards more environmentally friendly methods and practices in comparison to traditional companies. We wish to be the model for other companies to follow by leading the way in enviro-friendly practices.
Freedom Lawn
Think green. See blue. ==> **Think GREEN= referencing the environment, while also referencing the green healthy grass.
**See BLUE= think of us with our blue uniforms, while also referencing a blue clean sky.
Our target audience ranges from 18-65 years old in single homes to building complexes and schools. However we will be targeting areas and people that are more environmentally aware. We are after an audience that does not mind paying SLIGHTLY more for our services due to the unmatched benefits we offer with alternative fuels and better practices that use less chemicals when fertilizing their lawns.
I am looking for a simple, yet very bold logo to represent Freedom Lawn. **I like the idea of the new WALMART logo because it is simple while also has a symbol on one of the sides of the name.
Our uniforms are a very brilliant sky blue (not a light blue). Check this link for my color suggestion. http://www.hickerphoto.com/data/med…_14008.jpg
***Included in logo: Freedom Lawn
Put under business name: Think green. See blue.
Here is an idea of what interests me for my logo. The Friprix logo on this page is what I like. http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/cat…36361.html
I would like a logo based on shapes rather than clipart please.
I would like blue to be the most prominent color in the logo. Green, black, and obviously white can be included. But my main goal with this logo is simplicity yet boldness. The logo has to be easy to read yet not boring. But feel free to experiment with coloring!
Please no cartoons.
Tree and leaf logos are heavily used in the industry, but that does not mean you cannot create a logo with one. This is an industry based on the outdoors, so use your imagination! Just remember our primary focus is on lawn care.
I would like the logo to be easily connected with by the average person and a new awareness for the environment.
I need it in files I can easily reproduce on paper, and also reproduce on the web.
Lastly, THANK YOU for taking the time!!

Anyone pick it up yet?
I just grabbed a copy, but haven't had a chance to do much more than flip through the pages to enjoy the new book smell. The classes/specializations look perfect for a typical Rebel game, though...and as was stated, it seems like it'll combine seamlessly with EotE to allow a rough & rude bounty hunter to fall in with a group of Rebel heroes.

From lawn mowers and ladders to backhoes and dump trucks, the town of Bluffton's buildings and grounds division has transitioned from a group that mowed the grass and changed light bulbs to a cohesive team that can handle a wide array of Public Works activities such as ditch excavation, sidewalk repair, pathway grading, building maintenance, landscaping and irrigation, and much more.
Two years have passed since the move from its old space at DuBois Park to a modern facility at Oscar Frazier Park. This facility provides the space for equipment and materials needed by the crews to perform their work and includes office and break room space as well as a back-up generator to be used in emergencies. This facility is prepared for a disaster, and that's good because these are the very people who will get the town back on its feet after an emergency.
Team members work every day on the many parks, buildings, and other facilities throughout the town's 54-square mile footprint, and that's a lot of ground to cover! You may see crews out working to maintain town projects like the May River Road Streetscape or DuBois Park. You may see them dressed in their safety vests with traffic control signs providing safe passage for vehicles as they drive through a work zone. Safety is a top priority for our team, so if you see them showing the sign to slow or stop, please follow their directions. They are only trying to keep our residents, motorists, and crew members safe.
Of course, there are times when you won't see our crew by the side of the road. Don't worry - they're keeping busy. They may be back in the woods with a mini-excavator maintaining miles of ditches. They could be working on the stormwater treatment units installed to protect our rivers at different project sites. They could be grading a pathway or a parking lot at the New River Trail or Oyster Factory Park. They could even be handling special projects such as removal and replacement of broken concrete sidewalk or performing emergency demolition or debris removal to abate a potentially unsafe condition.
If the crew isn't outside, you might find them inside one of our Town buildings. You see, deferring maintenance is the wrong approach to preserving the taxpayers' investments. It's better to consistently maintain facilities instead of letting them fall into disrepair and paying a big bill later. Luckily, team members have experience performing the maintenance tasks needed on buildings old and new.
As you can see, our small buildings and grounds crew has grown into a full-fledged public works division with the skilled people and proper equipment needed to operate and maintain the infrastructure and facilities that serve all of the residents of Bluffton. When you pass by our crews in their safety vests by the side of the road, give them a wave and I bet you will receive a wave and a smile in return.
If you ever have questions about our wonderful town, don't hesitate to contact Town Hall at 706-4500 or email Lisa Sulka at firstname.lastname@example.com.
