There is a new recycling trailer in Plattsmouth!
Plattsmouth Residents were utilizing the recycling trailer so much, that it needed to be hauled twice, if not three times a week. This is with many of the residents using curbside recycling. I don't know about you....but this is a big deal!
The new trailer is still located in the same location. It is a 25 yd container opposed to the 10 yrd trailer we had previously. It is also easier to place your recyclables inside the trailer. Simply, just slide the doors to the side. The larger trailer is provided by Papillion Sanitation.
The recycling program has been a big success so hopefully this will continue to grow the recycling program and we will not have any issues with the new trailer.
Residents, please be diligent and if you see abuse to the trailer report it to the authorities.

Now that Spring has released us (and our gardens) from the winter's chill, we are preparing for our Plattsmouth (NE) Garden Club's biennual Garden Walk. There will be 5 or 6 beautiful home gardens on this year's walk, which will take place in town. Tickets will be $5 per person per tour and can be purchased at any home on the walk. Addresses and additional information on each garden will be published within the next couple of weeks. I can assure you there is a wonderful variety offered this year, from charming cottage gardens to a back yard oasis, to a large shaded acreage, some with water features. Our Veterans Memorial Garden will also be on the walk, which is located at Garfield Park in Plattsmouth, NE. Garden related vendors will be set up at each garden, and there will also be a Plant Sale. Proceeds from this event help to pay for the publicity, and also go back into our local community projects. Sponsors are accepted if they coordinate prior to May 21st. Anyone is welcome to tour these gardens. Bring a friend, neighbor, parent, child or anyone who has a love for nature's beauty! And please feel free to share and pass this invitation along to others who may be interested, thank you! Cheryl Billesbach President, Plattsmouth Garden Club 402-676-5112

Ball Watch: Lifesaving Precision
Posted at 1:14:04 PM in Ball (7)
Ball Watch has been saving lives since the late 1800s. Before the American watch brand came into the scene, there was no recognized standard time. It really was no big deal, except on the railroad where trains came and went along crisscrossed tracks loaded with thousands of passengers on board. In 1891, a couple of minutes' timekeeping difference between two trains led to a devastating crash that took the toll of many, many lives near Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway. After that tragedy, the railroad was ready for some drastic changes. Ball watch was established by jeweler and Chief Time Inspector Webb C. Ball, the Ball Railroad watch was created to serve the train masters and officers, and the rail lines instituted a strict standard time measurement that synchronized time all throughout the roads with to-the-dot precision. Since Ball's participation in the operations of the American railway, the train tracks have become a so much safer and enjoyable means for meaningful journeys.
Check out the enduring heroism of Ball Watches at Shreve & Co. in Palo Alto.
The Definition of Extreme Performance
Posted at 1:15:45 PM in Ball (7)
Since 1891, Ball Watches had been the dependable partner for railroad masters, engineers, space mission teams, professional deep-sea divers, extreme-sportsmen and those in other environmentally demanding vocations. Ball Watch continues to wave its "accuracy under adverse conditions" flag high and proud with brilliant horological innovations in each of its pieces. Ball's Gas Light feature uses Self-Powered Micro Gas Lights that last up to 25 years and glow 100 times brighter than paint. Ball timepieces also thrive in the coldest and hottest places on earth. Ball's specially-blended Swiss watch oil lets the watches operate in extreme conditions, even at temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius and as sweltering hot as 60 degrees Celsius. All the classic features – antimagnetism, water resistance, shock resistance, outstanding movement, are all a given in Ball watch. If you are regularly involved in the most demanding exploits – or dreaming to be – here is the Swiss watch brand you can surely depend on.

Accuracy Under Adversity
Posted at 9:56:21 PM in Ball (7)
Richard Limeburner explores the extreme parts of the world that puts the Ball Watch "accuracy under adverse conditions" motto to the ultimate test. As an oceanographer & deep sea recovery expert, Limeburner makes frequent trips to the frigid zones of Antartica, where temperatures reach as low as 660 degrees celsius and turnadoes sweep the the vast ice land at 320 km an hour. In the freezing tundra, Richard conducts sensitive studies about animal responses to climatic changes. His tests that track ice motion and measure salinity require accurate timetelling from a hardy watch. In his three years of working in the Antartica, Ball Watch has been Richard Limeburner trustworthy companion. His other preoccupation takes Richard and Ball Watch diving into the depths of oceans to search for and recover sunken ships and lost American submarines. The daring and enduring spirit that accompanies Richard Limeburner in his extreme vocations makes him an honorary member of Ball Watch Explorer's club and testifies to the brand's outstanding performance in the harshest conditions man dares to face.

With the Precision of a Railroad Man
Posted at 11:09:19 PM in Ball (7)
If you want to know the time, ask a railroad man. His time is accurate to the dot and three chances out of four, he is wearing a sleek Ball Watch. The history of railroad development and accurate timepieces are intermingled, and Ball Watches played a crucial role from the very beginning. Before trains were a common mode of travel, local communities kept local times. But when railroads were built and trains travelled back and forth different states, the need for Standard time arose for smooth railroad operations. Webb C. Ball was the first jeweller to use time signals in his chronographs, bringing accurate Standard time to his local Cleveland. A dismal train collision prompted Ball to implement strict standards forbidding time variations of 30 seconds among all railroad watches. This tradition of precision is still carried out today among the railroad workers and the Ball watchmakers. Accuracy is the continuing battle cry of Ball Watch. Their stylish timepieces are available in select jewelry dealers like Shreve & Co. at Post Street, San Francisco.
Ball Watch: Accuracy in Adverse Conditions
Posted at 12:00:00 AM in Ball (7)
"Accuracy in Adverse Conditions" – this is the motto that has set the ball rolling for Ball Watch. This corporate mission attends to those individuals are not just on-the-go, but those that are truly working, living and playing in difficult conditions in the planet. Accuracy is hard to achieve and Ball Watches rarely falter as they are equipped with the patented BALL-engineered self-powered micro gas light technology. This lights ups brightly for at least 25 years. Ball Watches also come in 7,500 G force shock resistance and a -40 degree Celsius temperature rating, and a patented crown protection system to boot. The founder Webb Clay Ball became the vice-president of the Hamilton Watch Company and focused his efforts to develop tellers of time for railroads. This was inspired by a collision between trains in Kipton, Ohio. This was all caused by the stopping of the engineer's watch. The railroad officials commissioned Webb C. Ball to be their Chief Time Inspector. And from this day on, his quest of the precision is being continued by the company he started. For accurate watches that function under adverse conditions, visit Shreve & Co. – authorized dealer for Ball Watch.
Ball Watch: From the Himalayan Mountains to the Skylab
Posted at 12:00:00 AM in Ball (7)
Ball Watches came from a tradition of precision. 1891 saw the dismal collision between Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway trains at Kipton, Ohio because an engineer's watch stopped working. The aftermath? Webb C. Ball was assigned to be the Chief Time Inspector. He instituted standards for time-telling precision and a meticulous inspection system for railroad chronometers. After a while, Webb C. Ball's original jewelry business back in Cleveland became the Ball Watch Company; a company dedicated to providing accurate and durable watches even under difficult conditions. Ball technology features the 3H micro-powered gas lights that can glow up to 100 times brighter than any luminous paint and will last for 25 years. With safety in mind, Ball Watches are also made to be antimagnetic. Brief contact with a man-made magnet will easily affects the accuracy of magnetic pieces. Ball Watches are also shock resistant, water resistant, and scratch resistant—covered by DLC making the materials almost as hard as diamond and smoother than Teflon. Having high cold temperature endurance (made for expeditions in the North & South Poles) and the Ball Crown protection system, Ball Watch Company easily cuts it as one of the manufacturers of the world's most durable watches. These watches are always tested in adverse conditions by Ball Explorers who travel the world to test themselves in the watches; from the Himalayan Mountains to the Skylab in space. Ball Watches are made to endure. For classy and durable Ball Watch pieces, visit Shreve & Co. – authorized dealer for Ball Watch.

Did your train arrive on schedule?
Posted at 12:00:00 AM in Ball (7)
If yes, the engineer was probably wearing a Ball Watch. Although it is a big "probably," train schedules and the Ball Watch founder had first crossed path more than a century ago that would define the brand's signature today: sturdy, reliable, accurate timepieces. Its founder, Webster Clay Ball, who had an apprentice in jewelry making, was commissioned in 1891 by U.S. railroad officials to establish precision time-keeping after an engineer's watch malfunction and caused a train collision in Ohio. Prior to that, Webster had already built a reputation for precision movement; he was the first jeweler to bring the city of Cleveland in sync with the Standard Time in 1883 using the U.S. Naval Observatory's time coordinates. Ball used strict manufacturing process and materials to achieve sturdy, precision-grade timepieces and, soon, the Ball Watch brand was born. Today, a Ball owner enjoys an accurate movement, antimagnetic, water-resistant, and shock-resistant timepiece that uses a 5-position reference and the physics of isochronism, the ability of mechanical parts to keep consistent movement despite varying external forces. A Ball watch is valued by sports people and, yes, train operators who demand accurate movement to keep their run schedules on track.

Privacy Today: The More Things Change, the More they Stay the Same
I recently had the privilege of moderating a privacy panel discussion at an unmanned aerial systems ("UAS") conference. UAS's have been in the news lately, so you can imagine the interest and concern for privacy and this rapidly-evolving technology; concerns from both those working in the sector and those outside expressing concerns for their own privacy and security. UAS's are indeed a "hot topic" and the technology, in many ways, is "bleeding edge." Even so, the way to manage privacy concerns with unmanned aerial vehicle systems is hardly novel, as our panel reiterated throughout our discussion. In short, addressing privacy in developing, implementing and managing this technology, to include oversight and compliance, begins with a time-tested, universal principled approach to privacy.
Whether your product offering is a newsletter, online retail business, smart phone or yes, even a UAS, properly accounting for the privacy choices of your customer or industry is just plain good business. Furthermore, managing privacy does not need to be an onerous, overly burdensome process either. You simply have to frame privacy in the fair information practice principles. In various forms, these principles are not only the foundation for information management best practices, but they are often included in state, federal and even international regulations. Even easier, you probably have already encountered them in your day-to-day activities as a consumer, whether going to the doctor or buying something online.

Resizing warning and rejected images

I recently submitted 3 batches of photos and had 121 photos rejected, and received a warning. Here it is
- We have noticed that a significant number of photos in your most recently submitted batch
are of poor quality when enlarged and appear to have been upsized. We must ask you in the
future to refrain from upsizing and carefully check the quality of each photo before
submitting. This will inevitably save time on both sides.
I am confused, thus I submitted questions to shutterstock support concerning the resizing. None of these images were upsized. I processed the latest batch in Photoshop and did unsharp mask enhancement and layout improvements, but none of them were upsized. Here are some of the rejected images.
Shutterstock support sent me this email.
Hi! We really wish we had time to explain every rejection to you but we don't. We need to spend time accepting more images so wait times are low. We suggest you post your rejected image to the forums and get feedback from your peers. The folks on the forum are usually dead on with rejection explainations, and the reviewers often step in where needed as time alows.
Thank you!
The ShutterStock Team
So now I am here asking for some help to get better at this, and have a better understanding of why I received the warning.

Only you and reviewers can see batches... we can only see our own batches... even if we could see them, the thumbnails wouldn't help - attach them to your post, along with some slices at 100%, so we can identify the problems...

I haven't seen your images, but you really got to be careful with unsharp mask. Sharpening of anykind has the potential of leaving ghost-like halos around edges of things. The reviewers may have mistaken the ghosting for upsizing.

I've had a few submissions rejected for upsizing when they were neither upsized nor filtered with the usharp mask. I've also had photos twice the minimum size required automatically rejected for being too small!
Anywho, I just keep trying to hone in on exactly what the upload program and reviewers want.

I'm new here, and I'm by no means a professional photographer. I just uploaded my first and only image, and it was approved. Beginners luck?
I do however have a lot of years of professional experience with Photoshop and my image was heavily edited. I took out distracting subject matter and cloned background imagery to replace these.
I enlarged the canvas size and then cloned around the edges to fill in the negative space. Not for the purpose of upsizing, but for the purpose of centering my subject without cropping. My camera is only 2.5 mp so I can't afford to crop.
I spent about an hour editing in Photoshop. The last thing I did was zoom in at a variety of zoom levels and examine every bit of it for cloned edges, noise, (or lack there of) to make sure it was seamless.
Maybe this mattered, maybe not. Maybe they just needed a picture of a bird on a bird feeder really bad. I guess I'll have to do a lot more uploading before I know.

Jazilla unless you post at least a full size pic we would not be able to help.
Reading several post regarding rejections for upsizing, I got it that although one does not upsize, the technical problems of rejected pics give symptoms of being upsized. i.e may be pixelated
Your other problem does arise when you accidentally upload a thumbnail instead of the big size pic. The system will automatically reject it. Just try to upload it again and if it persists then it may be a bug as mentioned by JTeffects above.

How can I post the image if the image posting is limited to smaller than my picture size ? I greatly appreciate all of the feedback in here. It looks like the unsharp mask is something to avoid. Trying to get a good feel for what I can do in Photoshop. Don't want to get another warning and get kicked out.
Here is a sample sheet of rejected images that where not upsized:
Not Approved: Noise/Grain/Focus/Upsized.
Not Approved: Poor framing, cropping, composition or snapshot..
Would appreciate some feedback to make images better.
This is a contact sheet of a sample of the rejected images. I know you cannot tell if they are resized by this, but I cannot post the original image on this forum.

I see things in several of those shots that would make me suspicious of 'artistic' filtering which may well not be what the reviewers are after, but really, without a full size image to look at you're just wasting your, and my time in looking at them - get yourself some free space at a photo sharing site, put a shot or two up there and then give us a link, and we can offer useful comments...
So, given I can't comment on the quality, let's see what I can see in these thumbnails... Now, from left to right and then down a line, the flower looks really odd on the right hand side - have you tried to blur/smooth out the foliage over there? The kettle - I take it that's an abstract impression of a kettle? They seem to reject anything that's had filters applied, no matter how many of them you've mixed with blending layers and actions, despite the fact they sell... shot three, the wall/door - I can see some detail, some blurry nothing spaces, which suggests artifacting, and I can see some clear oversharpening fringes down the 'string/thread' from the doorknob... shot 4, or wobbly blurry long exposure of an eye as I've come to call it, may just be too abstract, and definitely has way too much exposure - all that blown white area on the left side... the drummer, the hand that looks sharp still looks pretty soft, and also looks to have some fringing... I'd almost say 'snapshot' from the thumbnail... shot six, if it was four 'stained' frames of glass it might work better, but it looks a little 'bitsa' to me, bitsa this, bitsa that - I'd either centre the cross, or put it way off centre, not kinda central... try and make the shot look like a little thought was put into it, rather than just grabbed, and you'll get more acceptances... shot 7, well, that's abstract - no idea what I'm looking at, or if you warped the bottom or it looked like that, but again there looks to be a white fringe dividing the purple from the blue... number eight, have you moved the camera round while exposing to get this shot? is anything in it sharp? I can't really say anything else on such a small shot... number nine, the old camera - these look a lot more interesting from a bit of an angle, the side on's neither here nor there, but your graduated background would be better plain for easier usage... there could well be issues with your edges or isolation in that one at full size... number ten, the cow, looks like it suffers from harsh light, heavy black shadow and over bright highlight areas - the cross light isn't attractive compared to something more 'set up' - looks a little snapshotty, all in all... guitar number one, the whole lot looks way soft - where was your focus in that?? (bearing in mind the smaller the image, the sharper it looks compared to full size, it's bad if they look blurry as a thumbnail/contact sheet...) shot 12, yep, basket in a corner on a small table with a doily and cross shadows and bright plain wall and a blown out area and some fresco on the wall behind it - lots of things to keyword but not necessarily a strong stock image, looks like the stained glass lighthouse is pretty blurry too - stained glass is deceptive, it looks bright, but often isn't, so you need a tripod... shot 14 - obviously a non blurred/spun/rotated copy of the shot at number 8 - still not sure what it is or it's potential for stock, and finally number 15, guitar number two, you
know that whole shot is blurred from camera shake or out of focus, don't you??
Again, try one or two shots, bigger - then you might get comments from more people than the one with enough stamina to look at the lot... :-)

to get a proper view for something like this: post a whole sample (the entire pic) that is small so we can see the composition etc, and at the full size crop it down to just a slice or a small portion of the image that we can see at 100%.
did that make any sence?

Some of these shots like the cow and stained glass are technically shots of other peoples art/creations. They might have been rejected for fear of copyright infringment. It would be like taking a picture of a coke can.

its still hard to see the whole thing since the full size version doesnt fit on the screen and the thumbnail is too small. Its easiest to resize it to about 400-500 pixles across and post it here. it also makes them easy to steal by posting them like that....
and its counterpart P1010025
there is obvious noise on the dark part of vers a. the composition could be improved for stock purpouses by including the handel. and the artistic thing done to it (both of them) isnt good for stock. good lighting though.
there is some light grain in the darker areas. I wouldnt reject it on that if I were a reviewer (but I am not). Its also a little crooked. I also would have cloned out the blue part in the white area. I really dont see that much of a problem with it.....
sorry, but the composition is poor, as well as the overlay (double exposure type thing). I dont like the "blah"ness of the colours either. but it is nice and straight.
overall they have lots of artisitc filters on them which won't be accepted.

. Not 121 ..
Noise/Grain/Focus/Upsized - was the reason.
However, the single thing it could be (imho), is the FOCUS .. if you consider
this picture (2.7Mb)
As for Noise/Grain/Upsized - GOD helped me get an 8Mp Nikon .. Should I run NeatImage on my pics ? Reduce the sensitivity ?

I can see why the reviewer rejected that, pretty easily...
Yep, either Neat image that, or use Digital Gem, or either Noise Ninja, or a lower ISO - because I can see the noise quite clearly... and at 100% it's soft and not that well focussed - was this shot handheld at a really high ISO or something? (I ask, because I cropped you a small section to show you the difference, and even trying to clean the noise doesn't help
Bottom left is the original noisy image, top right is the cleaner version...

Some photos from the training area where troops heading for A'stan train before their mission. (A few pics from some Balkan training too): http://politiken.dk/fotografier/ECE1...jendebilleder/
Our new Chief of Defence visits the troops.
This morning, a soldier from the escort-section was seriously wounded by an IED north of PB Hazrat. He was able to phone relatives himself, though.
A few pics
Not much happening lately. A couple of days ago 4 soldiers were wounded when their vehicle hit an IED, They have all been transferred from the Field Hospital to the Danish infirmery, so they obviously weren't seriously wounded.
In other news:
Danish and Afghan soldier re-united after 3 years.
In 2009, A Danish soldier did first aid to a then Afghan private after he had been shot in the neck, captured on film that made it into the Armadillo documentary.
Now the two soldiers are re-united. The Danish 1st sergeant Khani and the Afghan sergeant Abdurauf meet at Regional Military Training Command (RMTC) at Camp Shorabak, where Khani is a mentor (completing his 3rd tour in Helmand) and Aburauf is attending classes to qualify to teach his own troops.
It's always educational to come here and read up on Danish activity in Helmand. Real eye opener. I was reading some paper a few weeks back about the plaudits given to the Danish during the Iraq WAR in the Bush presidency and how the Danes stayed their ground even when it was politically harmful. I really respect the Danes for their service in both fronts.
The Armadillo documentary was filmed during the Danish team 7. But just to show you that the fighting wasn't just hard while they were there, here are figures from team 9: Of a company of 140, 31 were wounded and 2 killed, and 12 were sent home for psychological reasons!

Solar Powered Home
In the 1970′s there was not a solar powered home which used solar technologies, to gain free electricity. Nor did a Solar Powered Home contain solar power to supply hot water. Today, a solar powered home can do far more than create electricity while the sun shines. They can charge entire banks of batteries that can operate refrigerators, lights and other devices entirely "off the grid". They can have specially designed homes for incredible daytime lighting, as well as a range of exterior lighting options powered strictly and entirely by the sun.
The majority of modern, solar powered homes have banks of collectors positioned to receive and absorb optimal solar radiation. While some homes remain on the grid, and subsequently feed the public utilities as they charge their own batteries. There are others that aim to live entirely free of the utility companies all together and they remain off the grid. Incredibly, this is entirely possible as long as the home or structure has been optimized for such a design. If the home is in a geographic location that is not prone to cloud cover or lengthy periods of overcast weather, it makes it ideal to utilise the solar energy for free power.
A Solar Powered Home is the Home of the Future
Having a solar powered home will not only allow you to produce and generate your very own electricity. It would also allow you to save dollars off your monthly budget. A solar powered home might sound a bit too complicated for you, but on the contrary, installing and maintaining this type of system in your home can now be done with ease. How to Solar Power Your Home
Solar energy came from the sun. This is also an alternative or as many call it renewable energy that is now known and used in many industries in the world and as of now, there are also many solar powered homes that receive so much benefit from it.
Solar Power Home Use
With the energy crisis and peak oil prices – is it any wonder that more and more people are checking out the benefits of renewable energy and specifically solar power? Solar power is environmentally friendly and easy to use. Find out more about solar power at home.
Use Solar Power and Future-Proof Your Home
People have been using solar power for many years to warm water, keep their lights burning and maintain the general upkeep of their homes. Alternative or renewable energy is now more easily accessible to the public than ever before.People worldwide are installing solar power technology in their homes in order to save money, and the planet. Converting your home is a considerable undertaking, but the results are very rewarding.
Going solar is a growing trend, but where do you begin the process?
Visit our partners website for your FREE QUOTE today and compare prices!
New England Area
For example, throughout the area of New England many have solar powered homes and buildings, these tend to remain on the grid, as the colder months can see many days without intense sunlight which is required for solar power. Any modern home with solar power is also going to have to consider the types of appliances installed in the building, as well. Not only will they need to be energy efficient, but they may need to be designed especially to meet the capabilities of solar electricity.
Are such items very difficult to acquire?
Interestingly they are quite easy to find, and the major home improvement stores make many available.
The exterior of many homes can also be outfitted with a huge array of solar fixtures as well, and these are a far cry from the earliest days of solar lighting.
Solar Lights
Today's solar lights are found in a variety of forms such as lamp posts, wall-mounted units, motion sensor spot or flood lights and even as highly decorative lamps. These lamps can be easily moved from one area to another. There are also many styles of solar security lights, which are hugely popular. There are those used for gardens and are mainly found near walkways. Other types of solar lights are often installed for security purposes as well as beauty.
It is exciting to imagine where solar technologies will be within the next thirty years. It is especially when one considers just how quickly the technology has advanced and then been implemented in many day to day ways in our modern era.
