The Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, VICA, chapter at Surry County High School has implemented a lot of new projects and ideas to help vocational students while serving the community.
Some of the club's projects include the picnic table, storage shed and rebike projects. ``All three projects were done with the community in mind and it gave the students experience and exposure,'' says Allen Parson, head advisor for the chapter.

The following is from another blog I previously contributed to, the now defunct bangkokfood.blogspot.com. I thought I'd reprint a few of the relevant entries.
12 Baht noodles:
So to start this off I might as well stay close to home as my favorite noodle stand in Bangkok is right outside my front door. I live in an 18 story apartment building between the busy businessy streets of Narathiwat and Sathorn, but, as everywhere in Bangkok, when you get off the main thoroughfares find yourself on back alleys, in old neighborhoods crowded with food stalls where the common people get their fill of tasty, cheap fare 3, 4 or even 5 times a day.
Now, noodle stands, in particular, are a dime a dozen in Thailand and they are usually quite passable, but unremarkable. Noodles are the food of the masses, people slurp them for breakfast, lunch, dinner or anytime in between. 12 baht noodle, as we affectionately refer to our local, is definitely the cheapest bowl of noodle you're likely to find in Bangkok, but somehow the quality doesn't suffer for it. I guess they rely on pushing quantity. Seems to be working as it's always packed with local families and construction workers.
The stand is a modest, no frills affair which has clearly occupied its particular niche on the side of our soi for decades. The stand is on one side of the narrow street, but the broken down tables line both sides and diners are constantly endangered by the passing motorbikes and tuk tuks. The chopsticks dry in the sun, but maybe not quickly enough as they are all a bit mildewy. The green jug in the photo is self-service ice water. Free water is a nice bonus to eating at cheap street stalls rather than in restaurants where they only have overpriced bottled water.
The menu choices at 12 baht noodle are fairly limited; it's mainly pork noodles. They do serve a couple of salad items (isaan-style), but I've yet to branch out. The noodles are just so tasty. As with any noodle stand in Thailand you order by specifying the type of noodle you want, the meat and whether you want soup or not. This stand only has rice noodles (kuaytiaw) which are classed by size: sen mii (vermicelli), sen lek (narrow and flat), or sen yai (fat and flat). They are all delicious, so it is just a matter of personal preference. 12 baht noodle only serves pork, so there's no need to mention the meat unless you don't want it (some places also have fish balls, chicken, beef or even duck). Last you say whether you want broth with your noodles: naam means "water" and haeng means "dry," so our typical order is: sen lek naam.
The secret is in the deliciously rich broth, the massive amounts of crunchy fried garlic and the fresh bowl of veggies they serve on the side.
Once it arrives at the table we load it up with condiments: sugar, vinegary chili sauce, fish sauce, chili flakes and, of course as much basil and bean sprouts as we can fit in the bowl. Give it a stir and...shlurrrrp!

My friends, Angie and Kelvin who live in the UK have only 20 of their books left. It is an limited edition, only 500 copies were printed. This means it will be a collectors item. Once they are gone, that's it!! I got three myself, two for gifts and one for me.
- 52 dogs and handlers from 19 countries are featured in the book
- Pedigrees of the dogs
- Worldwide coverage- UK, North America, NZ to Europe
- World Champions 2002-2008
- International Supreme Champions 1906-2008
- Continental Champions 1985-2008
- Scandanavian Champions 1998-2008
- USBCHA Champions 1979-2008
- 130 color photos
From their website:
The World of Sheepdogs is a photographic tribute to working sheepdogs the world over. It quenches the thirst of the many border collie enthusiasts by bringing to life some of the dogs and handlers that most of us only get to read about in the results columns of local newspapers. The book features fifty-two dogs and their handlers from nineteen countries, plus many more photographs of top ranked border collies.
Get yours now!! They would make great Christmas presents.

Airlines are offering more seats for those evacuating from the path of Hurricane Irma as spots on their regularly scheduled flights out of Florida fill up.
Amid accusations of price gouging, various airways announced that they were capping ticket costs, relaxing scheduling procedures or waiving additional fees as people scrambled to leave the region. Now major U.S. airlines are augmenting their existing services out of the regions that will be most affected by the storm; either adding flights or using larger planes.
American Airlines has added 16 flights from Miami, totaling more than 3,600 seats, it said in a statement to Money. The airline noted that availability on all of these flights is "extremely limited."
Twelve of those flights are heading to Dallas/Fort Worth, three are going to New York and one is flying to Philadelphia.
"We will continue to add extra flights, if equipment is available," the statement said.
Delta Air Lines announced Thursday that it's bumped up capacity on flights from at least seven different airports in Irma's path, adding more than 2,000 more tickets, all of which were capped at $399. Delta both upsized its airplanes and added new flights to account for the additional seats, it said in a statement. The airway has waived baggage costs and in-flight pet fees for those traveling from places covered by an emergency weather waiver.
United added six flights out of Florida after it sold out, the according to the Associated Press, and CNBC reports that JetBlue has also increased the number of planes flying out of the hurricane's path. Neither airline could be reached for comment on details about those flights.
Southwest Airlines had already added three flights from San Juan, Puerto Rico on Tuesday, but did not immediately respond to an inquiry about additional extra flights.
Still, the additional supply may not meet the overwhelming demand as people look to escape the region: at least seven Florida counties have issued voluntary or mandatory evacuation notices, accounting for more than six million people.

Hello everyone. A complete newbie here. I found this forum whilst googling for some information on road trips from East Coast to West Coast of America.
I have a bucket list and one of the items in my bucket list is this drive that I want to do.
I live in the UK and come across the pond every year or every 2 years. I have family in USA so it's a good enough reason to visit.
Next year I want to do this East Coast to West Coast drive.
I want to plan this for the last 2 weeks of September...or maybe the first 2 weeks of September. I am easy on that. I don't want to be there in June or July or August. I don't like to leave my garden in someone elses care in the summer months.
I am looking for ideas, suggestions, places to stop, places to hire the car from....everything that helps make this trip possible. I have family in Washington DC and was thinking that perhaps I could start from there.
By the way, I have driven many thousands of miles in America in the last 10/12 years so that is not a problem and I love driving anyway. When I have time I will post pics of my Mazda and me having a blat on the UK roads.
Any suggestions, help, new friends....all welcome. :-)

I got home on Saturday night after two weeks in Philadelphia. I had the privilege this summer to speak at Ridgecrest, NC, New Orleans, LA, Panama City Beach, FL, and Philadelphia, PA. During these six weeks of student camps, I have spoken to several thousand students from across the entire country. I consider it a special privilege to have that opportunity. When I woke up this morning, with nowhere to travel, I finally realized the finality of camp for the summer. It gave me a sense of newness. A new chapter and season for the year is beginning.
Then yesterday at church, we had an all-day going away party for Robbie and Tiffany Cheuvront. Robbie has been our worship leader since the Journey started eights years ago. He has been there through every up and down. He will always be a dear friend. He preached at the morning services, then we had a praise and worship night in the evening. Saying it was a great night is an understatement. We all sang praises to God, with gratitude in our hearts. We spoke a lot of words about our love for Robbie and the Cheuvront family. Those words cannot capture the actual sentiments. When I woke up this morning, realizing Robbie was not going to be leading worship this Sunday, I felt a sense of newness. I am sad, but today feels like a new beginning, a new chapter.
This got my mind thinking about new chapters in our lives. We all have those seasons of change. It may be a new job, a new child, a new home, or some other change. There are two major things that I think are important to remember during these new beginnings:
1. Give thanks to God for the previous season.
Take time to take inventory of the way God has blessed your previous season or chapter of life. Sit down and reflect on the different experiences that the chapter brought into your life. Before simply moving to the next season of life, it is helpful to contemplate the previous season.
2. Anticipate what God has coming.
New seasons can be scary because there are a lot of unknowns. However, we must trust that God is in control of those new seasons, just as He was the previous ones. We need to anticipate what God is going to do in the new chapters of our lives.
Things do not stay the same. Things change. It is not always a fun experience, but it is a certain reality. Rather than resisting change, we should be grateful for the seasons. These are the chapters that make up the story of our lives.

I got this from K's blog....she's got a GREAT digital scrapbooking site, but I love her pictures and may just "traditionalize" them...do them the hard way, that is.
So - feel free to copy this "tag" game into your own blog or email and pass it along. As she says in her entry, it will help you get in touch with your own scrapping desires.
What Scrapbooking products do you DISLIKE? Diecuts. I have not used them much, but it seems like so much work to decorate a pre-cut shape or form. The few I have used never did look quite right and I long ago gave way to paper piecings and prefab embellishments!
What is the hardest thing you've ever had to scrap? I think it was my step-dad's pages...after he passed away. While I didn't always get along with him, and didn't always like him, he was my mom's husband and she loved him. She shared so many pictures and memorabilia about him that I really wanted to scrap it. Scrapping about his memorial service was tough.
What technique do you use more than any other? I think it's paper tearing. The majority of my layouts have a piece or two of paper that is torn. I really like the look of it, especially for layering different papers.
Ever been published? No, not yet. I've only submitted my very first layout a few days ago! I hope to be published, but I always look at my work and then the stuff I see in magazines and think, "I'll never get my work good enough to be published." So I bit the bullet and submitted something.
What's the smallest scrap of paper you save? I don't save anything smaller than an inch, because it can be used for a letter block or in card making. I used to save it all, but then I ended up with a lot of scraps that didn't get used.
Finish the sentence… "If I wasn't a scrapbooker, I would spend my money…." on books and other crafting stuff that I would start and never finish (that's what I did BEFORE I started scrapping!). I STILL buy the books, but rarely buy other craft things unless I KNOW I will finish the project.
Give us your best storage or organizational idea. I absolutely love my ArtBin MegaTote. These totes were originally designed for painting supplies, but ArtBin has expanded into scrapping and other totes. I love being able to choose the different prism boxes I want to take. There's a lot of storage in this little case! I could go on and on...better not, I have other questions to answer!
You just won a week-long scrapbooking cruise for 4. Who's going with you? My sister...without a doubt. she is the one who got me addicted to this darned habit! The other 2 would be SO hard to decide...I have friends who scrap and would love to go. I think I'd take my mom, even thought she doesn't scrapbook (she would if she could afford this stinkin' expensive hobby, lol), and I'd have to hold a drawing to decide who would take the last slot...from the following people: Barbara H., Lisa, Maggie, Susan L., Annette, Charley, Suzanne B., Becky...okay, okay, don't shoot me if I forgot your name on my ever growing list of scrapbooking friends!
You can tag your friends to do this too if you want.
Happy Tagging!

we were walking around trying to find something light and tasty for lunch which didn't involve dinning and we walk all the way to the beginning of the tourist street. food was nicely prepared and didn't disappoint.
Overpriced Sake, Overpriced food, tiny portions. I was hungry after dining there. Wait staff very nice. Selections were not very interesting if you've had Japanese before.
Stopped in for dinner and for a change from sushi ordered 2 ramen soups; one chicken, one duck. Found the protein in both to be small, scarce vegetables, broth just OK. At the prices, not good value. I asked a wait-person for a menu so...More
The service was was timely and friendly and while we only ordered 1 appetizer it was very good. The main reason for the visit was the Sake and the quality and variety were excellent, worth the trip.
Had an excellent meal here. The sushi was incredibly fresh and delicious. On par with any NYC sushi restaurant I've gone too. The seaweed salad is incredible a must try! Excellent sake selection as well with great service.

The food is very good and lot's sake choices. Prices are fair and staff is friendly. We have been there repeatedly and the quality is consistent.
I have eaten here many times and the food and service is consistently great. I look forward to our weekends out here to eat the ramen and have a glass of sake. This place never disappoints.
good food at fair prices - nice looking restaurant - I was there with my wife and daughter - sat outside once and also inside. A wonderful addition to Greenport - I highly recommend the restaurant

Disclosed is a device for controlling the roll closing velocity of an envelope conditioning fuser, resulting in improved acoustic levels.
Acoustically Improved Envelope Conditioning Fuser
Disclosed is
a device for controlling the roll closing
velocity of an envelope conditioning fuser, resulting in improved
acoustic levels.
The envelope
conditioning apparatus utilizes a linear solenoid
to open and close the fuser rolls. Most of the noise produced by
this apparatus is generated on the opening stroke of the solenoid
which corresponds to the closing of the fuser rolls. Attempts to
control this closure velocity by means of dashpots and various
current profiles to the solenoid have had limited success.
Tolerances on parameters, such as solenoid force, driver current,
fuser roll bias spring force, power supply voltage, and solenoid air
gap, result in significant variations in system dynamics and
invention involves coupling a mass to the moving parts of
the apparatus during the closure stroke of the fuser rolls to
decrease the closure velocity and thus reduce noise. The energy
transferred to the coupled mass during the closure stroke is
dissipated during the interval between solenoid pulses.
A specific
embodiment of the invention is shown in the figure
and contained in this description. Referring to the figure, an
inertia wheel 1 is connected to a shaft 2 which is supported by
bearings 3. The shaft 2 passes through a one-way clutch 4 which is
attached to a bellcrank 5. One end of link 6 is connected to bell
crank 5 by pin 7. The bellcrank 5 is free to rotate relative to link
6. The other end of link 6 is rigidly attached to the core 8 of

Soon I must decide on the next camera. The little warhorse, the 1000D, is getting a little long in the tooth and frankly there is only so much you can do with an entry level DSLR (that's still quite alot!).
Things such as lowlight AF and the like are a little bad, but for general use it does very well (I'd like to think so anyways).
So the next step is to decide which way to go with the next camera. The 7D has been around for a bit now … then there is the 5D MkIII potentially just around the corner (5D MkII at a cheaper price perhaps?!!?!).
So crop or full frame?
Full frame will take a little getting used to and crop is ok as I understand the differences and no need to nget used to the lengths etc associated with … not to mention I have lenses that cater for crop now.
So … pay in excess of $5000 (FF camera and a lens or two to begin with) or around $2,500 (Crop camera and a couple of more lenses). Australian dollars here.
I'm a little stumped by this.
Anyone out there had the same descision to make? How did you go about it and what was the outcome?
All I do know is that I will have one very happy daughter when I do get a new camera … 🙂

Regular price: $24.95
After a Chinese biological attack leaves 90 percent of the United States infected by the zombie virus, George Hill, AKA, the Mad Ogre, springs to the defense of his country with every manner of firepower known to mankind. George and his allies beat back the zombie hordes, killing hundreds of thousands of the undead beasts in an attempt to save America from extinction.
What did you like best about Uprising USA? What did you like least?
This is one of those books that you like but you don't know why and you feel a little dirty admitting this fact yourself. This is not hardcore tactical gun porn this is late night Cinemax soft core gun porn. It is clear the main character is based off of the authors wet dream of how he would use his tactical genius and unmatched combat skills to save the world as only he has the capability to do.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Here is the entire book in generic terms.
People flock to him for advice, he suggest things and they just happen. Set up defenses here, here and here...ok now we have a free zone base of operations and even though nearly every city, town, military base has been over run this is safe for the rest of the book. Make the classic run into a big city and save some helpless family members. While there pick up some guns and military vehicles. Meet up with other gun nuts from an online forum. Be made unwilling leader of the region and have military put under command. Bring in funny medieval guy. Rescue hot chicks who magically are tactical savants and sassy sexpots that want you. Grudgingly allow them to be your security detail. Go off on pointless missions alone with said sexpots. Stop nefarious international and government plots with little or no planning or intelligence. Introduce supernatural element as it is clear no normal person or agency is a match for this god among men.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
The narrator was OK. The gaps between chapters were long enough that it had me thinking the app had locked up.
Some people will rant about his pronunciation of certain military or weapons based words or phrases but I am convinced that it was done on purpose. I would bet that anyone who gets that upset about such things will get put on a watch list and get a visit from the evil black helicopters
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Only if Danny McBride played Uncle Musket
Any additional comments?
The author is either sponsored by or masturbates with SilpStream gun lube as it comes up constantly
After everything I mentioned above I liked this damn book and I hate myself because of this

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
It was awesome, even if the narrator isn't a gun/knife guy and isn't sure how to pronounce ka-bar or hornady. An awesome story though and it kept me involved for 13 hours straight, that's hard to do with my "gun dudes" like attention span. But I digress, this follows the Ogre from the day it happens until he thoroughly turns the tides against the zombie hordes and is elected president. Its not the normal zombie horror story but its action packed and fun to listen to.
What did you like best about this story?
I'm a bit of a gun/knife whore so this got me all worked up, and reminded me that I still need a Becker Necker knife.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful
Not bad...Lacked that deep feeling of the underdog that prevails or deep suspense but made up for it with humor.
If you love guns, knives, military equipment and killing zombies this book is great! I enjoyed how the author was specific on weapons. I was constantly looking them up and I ordered a few!
Great story telling from normal folks that think in the what if state of mind keep up the great books and the good work and stay away from the gun dudes lol!!!
This is a great zombie book. Screw just surviving the zombie uprising. Conquer it. No fake firearm manipulation by an author that doesn't know which end the bullet comes out of. This book is fantastic.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The Ogre!
Would you listen to another book narrated by Jason Clearfield?
I hate to be a critic but probably not...
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I had a hard time at the beginning but I believe it was the narrator. I tried listening three times before i finally got over the narrator. It is a good book. I found the narrator didn't know the proper weapon and military lingo. Mispronouncing many words also added to my frustration. However i did enjoy the story...
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
The time spent listening wasn't wasted, but I felt like I was trudging through a sometimes too technical video game.
What could George Hill have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Less gun tech, less highly improbable "promotions" of the main character. LESS SARAH PALIN.
What three words best describe Jason Clearfield's performance?
Good enough. If Jim Dale(?) (my favorite if I have the name correct) from the "Harry Potter" series is a "10" for me, then Clearfield is around 4 or 5. His voices are very similar.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
A SyFy channel movie, maybe. Big screen? No way.
Would you listen to Uprising USA again? Why?
Sure. It was fun to listen to with lots of humor.
What other book might you compare Uprising USA to and why?
This is the First Zombie book I've read. I guess I could say the Walking Dead Comics but not so dark.
Did Jason Clearfield do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Not really. Some times it seems like he forgot which character he was doing.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I found many moments to be very funny and found my self laughing out loud more than once.
Any additional comments?
Jason Clearfield should have double checked how to pronounce various gun related words. His narrating errors were distracting a bit, but Mr. Hills fun story over shadowed the narration issues.This is a zombie story that was funny, down to earth and not dark & depressing like the Walking Dead. The was a story of hope through out the book that you don't see in the Walking Dead.

Would you consider the audio edition of Uprising USA to be better than the print version?
Audiobooks as a whole make it easier for me to read books, I don't have the time or opportunity anymore to sit and read, so having the chance while I'm working to enjoy a book often means the difference between me reading a certain book and wanting to read it.
What did you like best about this story?
I enjoyed the characters, and the accuracy of the descriptions of the firearms and tactics. That I believe is the strong suit with the author, accuracy for once in a book regarding firearms.
Which character – as performed by Jason Clearfield – was your favorite?
No real favorite, honestly I'll say I wasn't thrilled with the accents of the reader, however it didn't detract from the book itself. That said I've heard the author speak on the radio so I also am familiar with his voice enough to know it's not really a southern accent as it's portrayed in the audio version.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Honestly can't put my finger on a certain point that was more moving, the entire book I thought was good, I guess laying that down honestly I enjoyed the start where your being introduced to the characters and situation. I think the creepy part of a zombie book is often when you know nothing;)
Any additional comments?
Overall I'm not a zombie reader, I don't go out of my way to read this type of book. However I am a fan of several authors like Larry Correia and his MHI series, I enjoy the accuracy in which he writes about firearms as well. So this to me is in the same vein, if you enjoy books by Steven Hunter, Larry Correia, and authors like them(as far as firearms), I would certainly give this a read, it was a fun ride from beginning to end.

I'm not going to argue that consoles had better games, but the kid who had a Amiga stood out like a sore thumb, it was more expensive, and few parents bought it for the kids. The kid who got one had five games for about as long as it took him to find someone else on the school-grounds who also had a Amiga, and then he had at least ten. most likely someone on the schoolyard had some access to copies, and then the pool of games exploded. So the games the kid was playing when the parrot, sorry, parent checked in on him was ever changing, and so his memories of the gaming experience isn't focused on the particular game, but rather the flexibility and availability of multiple games.
Compare this with the kid who had a NES. He had 5 games to. If he was lucky he could loan a game every now and then, but on average those five, was all he had. He played them over and over, and the gaming experience was about that one game that he just couldn't stop playing. He, his friends, and relatives all remember that stupid Super Mario...
Me? I had a C64. Ricochet and Zolyx were the most used original games i had. A bunch of "turbo tapes" saw infrequent use, but i seam to remember going back to those two over and over. First long after everyone else grew tired of the Amiga i got a secondhand A1200. Luckily that was a good time, as older brothers were giving their Amigas to younger brothers, or even threw them away. Ended up with a somewhat good collection of parts and toys. But talking to people, hardly anyone agree on the most popular game for them. It ranges from K-240, to Moonstone, Syndicate, and Theme park. Hardly anyone remembers The secret of monkey island, and if they say Leisure Suit Larry, they snicker, or chuckle after...
The best game is a title hard to give any game, much less then the "best game platform". But when it comes to popularity, at least here in Sweden, the Amiga doesn't stand a chance.
I see what you mean, and I do agree for the most part. It definitely wasn't the most mainstream gaming platform, but there were A LOT of games for the Amiga that, at least NOW, are considered to be real classics (maybe not appreciated at the time). And like I said earlier, it definitely beat any other computer of that time in my opinion when it came to games. sure, there was the Atari st and other systems that many games that came out for the Amiga were also released for, but I like to think that for the most part they were better on the Amiga when it comes to graphics and sound.
Anyway, you bring up a great point!

ATLANTA — Who was the impostor wearing No. 1 for Indiana?
It couldn't possibly have been Jared Jeffries, the gifted go-to guy, the Big Ten Conference most valuable player and slam-dunk NBA first-round pick.
Whoever it was, he's No. 2 now.
Whoever it was, his four turnovers, four fouls and anemic eight-point effort were as much a reason Maryland turned Indiana's March magic into April fool's gold as anything done by the Terrapins' Lonny Baxter, Chris Wilcox or Juan Dixon.
Afterward, he wondered what happened.
"Right now all I can feel is that we came up short," Jeffries said. "A week from now maybe I'll feel different."

First results of a massive epidemiological investigation indicate that batches of polio vaccine contaminated with simian virus 40 so far have brought no increase of cancer or cancer deaths among adults.
The study follows 780,000 men and women for 2 1/2 years. Of these subjects, 202,947 took polio vaccine during the period when much of it was contaminated.
The investigation, which began shortly after virologists found that SV 40 caused cancer in hamsters, will continue for at least 12 more years, said E. Cuyler Hammond, ScD, director, statistical research, American Cancer Society. He reported the early results at the society's seminar for science writers in Phoenix.
The negative results are similar to those found by others in an earlier study of possible increases of cancer incidence, particularly leukemia, among children 6 to 8 years of age who took polio vaccine during the period of contamination.
Dr. Hammond's figures, however, indicate

|Honor Systems Event: Codes and Councils for Academic Integrity
Share |
About this Event
This event leads honor council teams from around North America through building, implementing and evaluating a quality honor program. Schools hear presentations, share best-practices in honor / integrity education, and troubleshoot problem areas (all topics are welcome, from how to get buy-in from faculty and students, to working with international students). Schools with councils share how they address honor infractions–from initial report to disciplinary action and/or restorative justice. Ample time is given for guided large and small group discussion, which is an excellent opportunity to discuss similar honor system issues with peers and share ideas.
This workshop is designed to serve the needs of both schools in the process of instituting an honor system for the first time, and those whose honor systems need fine-tuning or reinvigoration. We request that participants fill out a brief questionnaire before the event, to ensure that the event is crafted to fit your needs.
Questions under consideration include:
Schools are encouraged to send teams when possible (e.g., three students and one or two faculty members), though individual faculty are welcome. Most meals are included in the price of registration (dinner Friday, breakfast and lunch Saturday, and breakfast Sunday). Saturday evening is free for participants to explore host city.
The Next Event
Join us in February 2017. More information coming soon!
"My kids loved it! They are energized and enthusiastic and ready to get to work!"
"Our H.C. got a much needed boost of momentum; we are heading back with renewed energy and lots of ideas for improvement!"
"As someone who is trying to start an honor council, learning about all different types of codes and councils was invaluable."

U.S. quest for 5X battery boost seeks game-changing tech
With lithium-ion at the cathode, there is a process involved called intercalation that layers in molecules in such a way that they can come together and then reverse. This second research effort investigates replacing the intercalation step with a true chemical reaction. Chemical bonds store more energy than intercalated ions. One process could involve lithium reacting with oxygen. An analogous process is a fuel cell, where hydrogen produces water, except in the case of the battery the chemical process is reversible.
Liquids could be used to replace crystalline anodes and cathodes, which opens up more space for working ions. This approach makes it possible to use different types of materials for energy storage, including organics. The problem is finding a liquid that can support enough working ions. There are several major challenges, including finding a reaction that stores high energy from many tens of thousands of possible reactions. Another challenge is finding a solvent with enough voltage capability.
The researchers intend to study the various reactions at an atomic and molecular level, and build a battery based on their findings. They will also rely heavily on high-performance computing systems for simulations, and then limit physical testing to those things that show the most promise.
The goal is achievable, said Crabtree. "I think there's no doubt that it can be achieved, in my mind, because there are so many unexplored pathways to new battery systems beyond lithium-ion that have not been explored carefully," he said.
Even if the 5-5-5 team meets its goals, a commercial product may be years away. The research team hopes to develop a prototype working battery that proves the technology works within five years. But commercializing a new type of battery, building out the manufacturing processes and developing a battery for various applications could take many years beyond that.
Lithium-ion technology was developed in the U.S., but it wasn't until the early 1990s — two decades after its initial development — that one company, Sony, successfully commercialized the battery. A 20-year time frame for a new technology to travel from the lab to consumers is typical. Crabtree hopes to reduce the time to commercialization, but is reluctant to estimate when consumers may see products.
He acknowledged that cutting the development cycle to 10 years would be fast.
Taking part in the projects are other U.S. national labs, along with Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, the University of Illinois-Chicago, the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign and University of Michigan. Private-sector firms involved are Dow Chemical Company, Applied Materials, Johnson Controls and the Clean Energy Trust.
The partners will contribute to the patent pool, and whatever technology is developed will be available for license. "None of our partners has the expectation of getting an exclusive license," said Crabtree.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
People understand that the economy isn't doing this well and that it's hard to get a job you love. To acquire through this difficult patch Frank Schwarz, it is important to learn everything you can about employment. This article has many helpful employment tips which will help you.
Use LinkedIn and its resources. Other professionals can see your profile and see how you answered certain questions. This could give you the jump-start you will need. You must also utilize this section to inquire others about their experiences.
Be familiar with exactly how much workers in your field are now being compensated. It's not uncommon for individuals to produce the mistake of low balling the amount they request up front, because they're frightened of the business saying no. While that is partially true, you don't desire to look too desperate either.
Do not hear every one of the press concerning the dwindling employment market and exactly how difficult it is to find a job. This will only seek to discourage you. There are several companies out there and several are hiring. While there could be many people looking for jobs, that only means that you have to boost your resume and interviewing skills to be able to get noticed. Think positively.
Often times your greatest plan involves getting an low-end job in the field of your decision. Most employers want to get to understand their employees before placing them in a position of higher responsibility. Use the chance to prove yourself as being a valuable employee, and the chances of you advancement will probably be high.
Take good care of yourself in order that you remain as healthy as possible. Folks that use their sick days are frowned upon and they are usually passed up with regards to promotions. Manage the specific situation by consuming a well-balanced diet and taking advantage of proper hygiene. Your career is determined by it.
A good resume is very important to landing the work of your own dreams. Ensure that your resume is organized well so that those who are seeking to employ you possess an idea of what you are about. It requires to incorporate your educational and job experience. Add volunteering experience and don't forget contact information.
Take a look at career fairs locally. Such fairs can provide useful information about possible career paths. They can also help you discover new job connections.
Understand that a conversation will be your possiblity to sell yourself like a future employee. Don't talk about what you wish the company to complete for yourself. Employers aren't enthusiastic about that at this time. Instead, be sure you center on everything you can bring for the table. Create the employer understand why you should be hired as opposed to other candidates.
If you are asked regarding your weaknesses during a job interview, be as positive as you possibly can within your answer. By way of example, don't say, "I'm very disorganized." Say something regarding how you are more focused on being flexible than on organization but which you use tools to keep yourself organized anyway.
Prepare an "elevator pitch" about yourself. This really is a 30 to 60 second statement that could be delivered by using an elevator ride, hence the name. Include details about your biography and then any pertinent career accomplishments. Use the statement on phone interviews or when asked why you should be hired to do the job.
Network inside your field. Improving your network lets you build excellent professional relationships, improving your marketability for jobs. Absorb every morsel of information about your chosen field that you could by attending seminars, conferences, networking events and webinars. You are able to network with others you meet there and prove you to ultimately be an expert in the field.
Should you don't obtain a job, ask why not. This is often an invaluable approach to evaluate if you're doing anything wrong. You can just send a short email or letter inquiring about whether there was clearly anything more you might have done. This may also help you feel better about failing to get the work.
Make getting a job your career. Seeking employment can be a fulltime job in itself. Devote time every day toward your work search. It doesn't have to be the identical activity everyday, but do a minumum of one thing daily. For instance, check out job openings, network on LinkedIn, attend networking events in your neighborhood, and even just mention to people you meet that you would like work.
If you have managerial or supervisory experience, you may well be inclined to include testimonials solely from higher-ups. This really is excellent information, but you will take it further by including feedback through your subordinates. Hiring managers seek out candidates who is able to connect and make rapport with employees whatsoever degrees of a business.
If you are a senior searching for a retirement job, you may want to have got a professional rework your resume. Standards have changed through the years, as well as your old resume is probably not appropriate anymore. You can hire someone to rewrite your resume and have it presentable for today's employers. An investment will probably be well worth it.
Ensure you let every one of the parties involved know if you are using multiple employment agencies to discover a job. There is no problem with using several, but they must be informed. This will help to keep them from duplicating efforts by submitting you multiple times for the very same position.
The job interview will be the final thing standing when it comes to you being employed. There is lots riding on the interview, but don't allow the pressure arrive at you. You may have everything needed to conquer your work interview. Take advantage of the tips and be prepared to get the job.

City Council Meeting 10/27: Live Blog
This is a public hearing meeting, which ironically means that there will probably be less public speaking than at a regular meeting, because at least at this meeting people have to talk about what's on the agenda.
Yikes, the Maritime Republic of Eastport is here. They have children, confirming the worst fears of mainland-ers that they are developing a youth indoctrination program. Their annual Declaration of (Tug Of) War will come be expressed in a battle on November 8.
The city just received a grant that will allow them to buy yarn. I'm sure I'm leaving out some relevant information but that's what struck me.
We are now being treated to a presentation on the Legacy of Slavery in Annapolis. There is a screen, and a projector--likely causes of "a case of the Mondays" for the MIT department. The right side of the room must now move to the left side, because the screen is set up on the right side of the room. Lesson: when looking for factual information, always look to the right.*
(*Political pun!!)
The presentation has come to a halt because the presenter tried to access a web page and it says "page cannot be displayed". Finally, vindication!! Presenter: if you are reading this right now, I will sell you the secrets of my internet "borrowing" for $5, payable in $.05 installments for however long it takes.
As an aside, the pre-meeting conversation included the nature of the whereabouts of former city attorney Shaem Spencer, who is now a district court judge in Glen Burnie. I was informed that an unofficial city delegation was sent to heckle the honorable magistrate, a field trip that I imagine to be hilarious.
I noticed that Alderman Paone is drinking a diet coke--an endurance technique that I pioneered some 18 months ago when this blog first began. Well done, sir.
The presentation is over. I believe that now the public will be heard.
Bill: O-05-08, to correct a technical error in the code regarding free standing signs.
-P/Z director John Arason gives a brief.
-nobody speaks for or against.
Bill: O-18-08, more technical changes to.....wait for it......sign regulations!
-Arason testifies again.
-I dare say that the public is again, ambivalent. Alderman Arnett seems to know the deal.
I will send $2 to anybody who writes a comment while I am writing this blog. You only pay the $4.95 shipping and handling.
Of shipping and handling, which is the more expensive undertaking?
My goodness, I think it's easier to make yourself a criminal in this town by putting up an illegal sign than anything else. If I were the Downdown Dictator (one of my pet name's for the office of mayor), the sign code would read like this:
15.535.9525 Signs:
If you put up a sign, we will grab 20 random people who passed by your sign. If none of those people say "that is a dumb-ass sign", or "who thought this would be OK?", then you can keep the sign.
Alan Hyatt, a local mogul, is representing Shopper's Food Warehouse--who apparently have been aggrieved via signs.
For the record, my favorite signs are THIS ONE (watch for immigrants cross the road!), and THIS ONE (not overly wordy, yet you understand completely the choice you have to make.)
Classie Hoyle, whose ward this concerns, has not commented at all during this exchange.
Bill: O-30-08, clarifying the duties of DNEP and the Public Works Administration.
-an unidentified employee is testifying.
-small government tip of the day: if two government departments can't figure out who does what, maybe one of those departments doesn't need to be there
-since when was Public Works an 'Administration' and not a 'Department'?
-a man with a briefcase is talking about sprinklers. I don't know why this is relevant, but then again I haven't read this bill, and he just referenced the bill, so he is probably making a valid point.
I haven't stopped blogging, I've just stopped paying attention to the meeting. I plan to be interested soon.
Ok, I read O-30, and there is a provision that changes the requirement to install sprinklers from a renovation that exceeds 50% of the market value of a house to a renovation that increases living space by more than 50%. I don't know if this is the first time this came up, but people are really focused on it.
Bills: O-31-08 and O-34-08, reducing the Homestead Credit to either 1o5% or 102% depending on which bill you like
-Doug Smith: reduce it to 102%
-Mayor Moyer suggests that the 110% level is necessary to achieve the level of services that the citizens have come to expect.
-Randy Landis (who gets called "Gimpy" by the mayor on the way up to the podium): also likes both proposals, likes the reduction to 102% better
-fyi, for the purposes of this bill, 102% means that the tax-assessed value of your house cannot increase by more than 2% each year. currently, it can increase by 10% (or 110% using the semantics of this bill)
-Mayor Moyer applauds herself for reducing the property tax rate, a statement that doesn't
-Mike Dye: in favor of both, don't care which percentage is chosen as long as any effort is made to lower the percentage. the real purpose of this is transparency (because if the Homestead Credit is low, then you can only increase taxes through the rate, and everybody knows about it). Mike is taking some direct shots at the mayor on this because she let the credit be 10% then claimed to lower taxes because she lowered the rate.
-Brian Gill: the transparency argument is a good argument.
-Mike Dye: "I have heard a host of excuses!". Brilliant! The Mayor keeps saying "don't just complain to us, because the state and the county do it to", and Mike says "right now, I'm worried about the city". Very awesome.
I lost track of where we are because a luminary came to speak with me.
Ok, nobody spoke about O-32-08 (City of Annapolis Exempt Service) or O-33-08, a confusing bill that I will post about soon.
Legislative Action!
O-24-07: Sandwich Board Signs!! Specifically where and when they are allowed. WITHDRAWN.
R-45-08, job description and pay grade for elections board position. PASSES. 9-0 vote.
R-52-08, creating a historic West St. gateway committee.
-Alderman Stankivic proposes an amendment that there should be a person from each ward on the committee, and somebody who may or may not work for the city is at the podium arguing against this. So, the city is arguing with itself on this amendment.
-The above mentioned person just named like 300 people who are already on the committee, and Alderman Paone just said "well, it sounds like you have everybody represented but the residents", and I just upgraded to the platinum membership to the Alderman Paone fan club.
-Alderman Cordle: this is a moot point because the state owns part of the road.
-The '1 person from every ward' amendment passes (I think).
-bill PASSES. 9-0 vote.
Alderman Stankivic excuses herself.
R-54-08 (first reader), Establishment of a Council Compensation Commission. passes/referred to committee. Rules suspended and this bill PASSES on second and third readers. 9-0 vote.
2 comments:
Why does Mayor Moyer continue to talk about lowering the tax rate.
With changes in assessments, Moyer had done nothing but enourmously raise taxes on the people of Annapolis.
Does the Mayor not get it? Or does she hold so little regard for the intelligence of the electorate that she hopes they won't get it.
Either way, the Mayor is being dishonest with Annapolitans by trying to pretend that she's lowered taxes.
Moyer has presided over what is probably the most explosive growth in city government spending during the entire 300 years of our town.
She talks about all the money that's needed for all these wonderful services. Is she talking about such achievements as the empty Market House, the half finished Police station, the millions lost in the pension lawsuit? Exactly what are all these services that Moyer is talking about. I look around and little that has been done for the average citizen, but much that's been done for a handful of Moyer's friends who enjoy pulling down six figure city salaries.
