Cleanup efforts around the tsunami-damaged Fukushima nuclear plant are expected to require decades—up to fifty years, in fact. However, if a new radiation decontamination technology from Toshiba and IHI pans out, that date will come much, much sooner.
The SARRY-Aqua (Simplified Active water Retrieve and Recovery sYstem) is a trailer-mounted machine the size of an international shipping container—approximately 20 feet long. It's designed deploy on-site at reservoirs, pools, or ponds and to remove radioactive cesium from water.
Contaminated water is pumped into the system, where it cycles past a specialized crystalline absorbent. This absorbent binds to the cesium molecules as well as iron ions in the water. This effectively magnetizes the cesium, allowing it to be easily removed using magnets. The cesium is then stored on-board the trailer for transport to a disposal or storage facility.
The SARRY-Aqua is highly efficient. It can reduce the concentration of cesium from 500 becquerels per kilogram to 10 Bq/kg—that's 20 times less than the Japanese Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry currently limits it to 200Bq/kg. The Ministry has reportedly been working to lower that threshold to the 10Bq/kg level. It can process a ton of water every hour and carries enough absorbent to clean 200 tons of water in a go.
Toshiba and IHI also contend that the SARRY system is capable of removing as much as 97 percent of cesium from contaminated soils as well. Toshiba stated that the SARRY is currently able to process 1.7 tons of radioactive soil daily, though that figure could increase 100-fold in future iterations.
The systems could also one day find use decontaminating radioactive ash from garbage incineration plants. Fantastic, that's one less bin I'll have to sort for trash day. [JapanProbe - TechOn! - IHI - Next Big Future - Japan Today - Mainichi Japan]

Thanks again & I can't wait to see your designs!
-All ages
-Artistic folk
-Faith-inspired people

-No more than 2 colors.
-I like the colors: black, grey, white or something close to #33CCFF & #CC0000

Amazon UK has started offering the consumer versions of Microsoft's next Office productivity suite for sale on its website. Amazon states that the Office suite will launch on 30 June and is offering a three-user Home and Student version for £109.99.
A single-user version of Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Business will cost £239 while the Professional version will cost a mighty £429.
On 19 April Microsoft announced the code for the productivity suite was complete and signalled it was now ready for RTM (release to manufacturing). On Thursday last week, it began offering the code via its MSDN and TechNet, with digital delivery to business customers via its volume licensing programme beginning yesterday.
The official launch date for the business editions is 12 May. However, the software giant has been keeping mum about the exact date consumers will be able to buy off-the-shelf copies.
Not for the first time, Amazon appears to have broken ranks and listed a Microsoft product for preorder with more details than expected. It's possible, of course, that Amazon is hedging its bets over the onsale date of Microsoft Office 2010 or that Microsoft and Amazon are merely managing customer expectations by listing the end of the month as the delivery date for the software.
In the meantime, customers who buy the current version of Office can do so for a lower price and then upgrade to the new suite for free. Presumably this way, Microsoft gets to hail Office 2007 as a success and then also laud the installed base for Office 2010 further down the line.
Consumers who aren't sure whether or not to take the plunge can enjoy a free peek at Office 2010 by downloading the time-limited public beta version of Office 2010 from the Microsoft website.

With abundant feedstocks and the growth of exports, U.S. chemical producers must navigate a new set of supply chain challenges.
They will need to overcome key choke points if they are to provide the proper service levels to global customers while controlling costs. And they will need to build supply chains that are nimble, dynamic and able to handle growing volumes.
By adopting innovative strategies for supply chain management that help avoid disruptions, producers can drive greater efficiency as they pursue growing export opportunities.

"The LBT will open completely new possibilities in researching planets outside the solar system and the investigation of the farthest--and thus youngest--galaxies," says Thomas Henning of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy. To date, a handful of impressive ground-based telescopes have provided astronomers with important insights about the universe. For example, they have learned that stars form in dense cloudlike features within galaxies. But observing the intricacies of star birth is difficult with these telescopes because the radiating energy of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs is not bright enough to be visible and interstellar dust can obscure views. The Hubble Space Telescope has helped overcome some of these problems, but this kind of instrument is expensive to build, launch and maintain.
Now a combination of advanced optics, instrumentation and high-power computers is making it possible for ground-based telescopes, particularly those situated on high mountaintops, to see deeper into space than ever before at a fraction of the cost. The LBT can resolve faint objects because it has two large mirrors--each 8.4 meters in diameter--that focus like field glasses for viewing. By combining the two views, the instrument is able to collect as much light as a single telescope with an 11.8-meter mirror. By comparison, the Hubble Space Telescope's mirror is 2.4 meters in diameter.
But the LBT doesn't rely only on its mirrors. It uses optics designed to adapt to observing conditions and it works with a combination of specialized instruments that can do such things as gather infrared images, detect the composition of the surface of stars, compensate for the blurring caused by turbulence in Earth's atmosphere, and boost image sharpness to a quality far better than that of Hubble.
For the "first light" image, astronomers used just one of LBT's mirrors to capture a spiral galaxy in the constellation Andromeda. In the future, they will use both mirrors to conduct a number of studies, including observing the Jupiterlike planets known to be revolving around our nearest neighboring stars.

214: Home Alone
Pages 1 2 NEXT
What happens when you venture into a multiplayer world with the sole purpose of playing a single-player game? In one player's experience, you find a pretty cold reception. Jon Glover chronicles his lonely trek through PlayStation Home.
I feel as isolated on Home as I do staring at the list of ever-offline 'friends' on the XMB.
This article sums up my feelings of HOME.
Rather pitiful in a way, a bleak picture of Home. I sympathise though my gaming experances are nearly always single player and I much prefer it that way. There are two many idiots in the world to make multiplayer games good.
hehe, i found your misfortunes entertaining
but i dont think i ever will want to enter playstation home, im not all that social adn theres a million good game si could use my PS3 for instead :P
Home is like online gaming trash talk, racism, homophobia and misogynist in a can.
HOME is a prime case-study for "John Gabriel's Greater Internet F%$#wad Theory:"
I don't see why the PS3 feels the need to force you to interact with the great unwashed masses of the Internet in order to play a single-player experience. HOME has been seen as a failure since before its launch, and with little content and crowd control it's only attracted the lowliest of the scum, the kind that in Victorian times would be stalking the filthy back-alleys and ogling the prostitutes.
That was really sad =[.
Great article, John Tesh! I laughed heartily at your misfortunes. Mistake #1 was not dressing yourself in mallrat finery and strolling around the virtual promenade making fun of other avatars for their race / sexual orientation / gender / choice in corporate apparel. It's called First Strike, y'know? Mistake # 0.5 was logging on to Home in the first place.
=( I want to give your John Tesh avatar-thing a hug now.
"Unfortunately, I never did. My interactions with other people consisted of me arriving during awkward pauses of conversation while the other parties involved waited for the hulking, disfigured John Tesh lookalike standing within breath mint distance to return to whatever bog he'd lumbered out from."
I laughed so hard a tear formed in my eye. A good read, and a pretty solid example of what Home is as opposed to what it was meant to be.
I've seen a couple of furries wandering around home.
Home was a drag when it started out but it is getting more interesting. There's more game spaces with things to do and less pathetic virgins harassing every female avatar (which is probably an old pervert 85% of the time).
This unfortunate trip through Home you've taken the time to write and share with us makes me wonder what would happen to an avatar in Home if it had a wheel chair. You see people with strange avatars on Xbox Live and think..."That's Awesome!"...or..."I wish I though of that first!"...not realizing that the person who created the avatar doesn't give a shit what you think of it and accepts your praise when sent to him or her when such praise is probably sarcastic anyway.
As you've described on Home its like your avatar was a couple of bolts and a huge forehead stitch away from being chased with pitchforks and torches (if such items could be downloaded and held by home avatars). Good luck in the future Jonathan Glover....hmm....that would make a good movie title.
Poor John Tesh. Poor, poor poor, poor, poor John Tesh.
This is why I mainly stick to single player.
Poor Jon-Tesh-Frankenstein's-Monster-Mute-Guy. And also you. D=
This is why I stay away from avatar stuff. In BF43, only your skills count
This is the curse of humanity.
I logged on to PS3's Home and played an hour using the drawers to create walls and rooms. I never realized that you could leave that studio. When you leave can you drag the stuff you made in your studio outside?
Not responding to other people nets a cold reception. Gee, I bet nobody could have seen that coming.
What a horrifying account of Home. See, this is why I avoid social networking systems in general. Zero tolerance for newcomers. Made even more obnoxious by the fact that Home is, itself, new.
Wow... my experiences with Home have never been that bad. The only time I played it for any length of time was when I powered through the entire Xi game like the day before it stopped.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Home, like chat rooms and the like, are about what you put into it. Sure, people can be dicks, but that's not the entirety of the situation.
Just like any online social atmosphere, in Playstation Home you are going to have a lot of douchebags dragging their knuckles whilst sprouting hate and general immaturity. Not to mention the sexual harassment of female avatars. however I have made a few Bowling buddies. If only they'd allow for bowling teams and leagues...
Yes, well. That's pretty much what I expected. I had high expectations of Home when I first heard about it, but I lost interest. I haven't even logged in except to see if I got my inFamous costume from beating the demo.
I'd imagine that to use Home properly you'd have to get one of those micro-keyboard attachments to talk to people properly. Then, really if I just want to chatter I can just do it through an MMO or message boards like this one with the same amount of effort. Over a period of time they might expand it into something worthwhile, but I don't think Sony really had the guts to do it.
Originally I believe Home was supposed to be a lot like Second Life with user generated content, but they decided to scrap that idea. I remember hearing it described as "like second life but without the naked people in the sky" but to do that would require a level of active regulation and content review that they probably didn't want to go through. Besides, how do you sell content if people can make it themselves?
Also ironically, while I never did Second Life, it was the sex dungeons and such that actually gave it personality. Free expression at it's finest (and most disturbing) when you get down to it. While there was plenty for sites like Something Awful to mock, I also saw some things posted here and there that were truely inspiring, I also thought the whole "Destroy TV" concept was pretty original and see some potential for that technology to be used in MMORPGs and such to an extent. Truthfully if I ever hit a lottery jackpot and try and fund my own MMORPG I'd definatly be interested in trying to get ahold of these people and perhaps buy their code. Of course a MMORPG would be second on my list after the "Horror Movie Sandbox Game" I have mentioned wanting to make before. ;)
As far as homophobia, misogynism, and other things all I can say is that at least they have free speech. Mixed opinions on the subject matter aside, it does seem like it hasn't been forcibly morphed into another sterile, politically correct enviroment.
Home was a mistake that never should have been conceived in the first place.
as somewhat of a recluse, i thought what a great idea of having somewhere to go and chat to people from around the world without leaving the comfort of your own home..... shows how much i know.
during my annoying not quite a walk and not quite a run travels in home i've been verbally abused, threatened, teased and have recieved personal messages from people i don't even know abusing, threatening and teasing me. now i'm not crying or whinging about it, i just took it on the chin (probably not as big as john tesh's chin), put them on my block list and got on with the task at hand, wandering aimlessly around a virtual world that was becoming less and less enjoyable.
the only shining glorious moment of playstation home was the extremely rare occasion someone was decent enough to enter into a civil conversation and this person is now a friend i communicate with regularly. i think this is really the only reason i haven't deleted all traces of home from my ps3 is maybe, just maybe, one day someone else will have the vocabulary to say more that f**k off, f**k you or any other abusive term under the sun.
granted, everyone has different opinions on this subject, some people love it, some people hate it and others just don't really give a damn either way. but one thing is certain, my extremely low expectations of some people have served me well as when they are true to form and behave like total a**holes, i'm rarely surprised.
I got twp feelings from this article
One is really deep, talking about society and stuff, but I had that feeling before this just reinforced it alittle.
My second is that most, if not all Playstation/Sony Boys/girls(You know who I'm talking about, a Playstation paraphernalia, TV and maybe a laptop/computer are all they have in their "game room", they are all assholes. I also had this feeling before, but I'm always willing to spread my opinipns on wretched Sony.
wow, tht suks... i always had the impression the the Home crowd was mature!
Argh, right! I'm on The Escapist!
*Turns grammar and spelling on*
Wow... that's really crap... gee, I was always under the impression that the Home crowd was mature!
Sorry about the grammar and spelling... one has to talk shit to impress the VT forums.
Home would be infinitely better if every game can launch in it, but since it can't, it's just a virtual e-harmony with all guys and kids.
okok, you have to admit that "looked" soooo funny
i had never found anyone having Cyber in any place on the internet (althought once i recieved a PM in a chat from a dude describing how he was going to pull my pantyes with his mouth and saying "woops, wrong user, sorry")
The more I think about it, the funnier it gets.
Really? You let a few people get to you like that and just give up? You are not a true gamer, my friend. Never let adversary stand in the way of the game. Dominate it...kinda like that guy was to that girl. Except less sexy.
That's the problem with games that allow you to hide behind a pixelated avatar; they are full of idiots. Because you are not speaking to a person face to face, because you are talking avatar to avatar, because there are no repercussions to speaking to the ugly avatar over there.
I find this happening in online role playing games a lot. People think that they can act like a "Homie" or a "G" because they are hiding and not showing their face. But little do they understand that not many "G's" could be found playing Runescape.
I was really disgusted when you talked about the sex going on behind you. I have seen people do this all over, whether it be World of Warcraft, Runescape, or even XboxLive. It doesn't matter if that "sexy" girl could be a fat fourty year old man who, as you pointed out, can't get a picture of "herself". Most fourteen year old boys, I have found, would rather let their penis's think for them. Which, being a fifteen year old boy, makes me wonder if I am growing up in the wrong generation.
I do wish you the best of luck with Home. I laughed throughout the article because I was talking about the idiots on Xbox Live on Gamespot and people were telling me that's the difference between the PS3 and the Xbox was the fact that people were better. I will post a link to this article for those people who actually think that.
I'm sorry if that was not the intention, but your article made me laugh my ass off. It was so sad and disturbing, but infinitely funny as well. Thanks for making my day.
Lol, your article is hilarious.
I've always hated these online social networking things, isn't it just a way of avoiding the awkwardness that could arise with real socialising, but then I guess you could say the same thing about MSN and Facebook ... meh

Life has always been a challenge for me……One of the problems I had in relating to people or my peers was my intense focus on special interests and hobbies. Unless we had a mutual interest in something, it was very difficult for me to communicate. This has been a problem all of my life, the fact that I tend to go on and on about a topic, without knowing when to stop. Today I'm a lot better at catching this habit. For most of my life, my hobby of collecting licence plates is where I was intensely focused. People didn't matter to me during that time; I was more orientated to objects. It was safer but lonely.

My husband and I at RE Associates, LLC have depended on Wayne Buras for 10+ years to take care of all our heat and air needs. He has serviced and replaced many, many systems for us in our home renovations for investors and has also taken care of our personal home. He is always ready, prompt, competent, and courteous. Never have we had to wait for him to fix a problem. Never does he have to come back to correct a mistake. Priced fairly. No need to use anyone else when you already have the best!
I meant they are a stand up company who really do complete the job and offer excellent customer service. We did have a small issue which they made more than right and went above and beyond to rectify the problem
Wayne has worked on my units in the past and it was finally time to replace one of my units. Great pricing and great work. His crew took their time to rebuild my builder grade work and unit is working great. This will be the only company I call for my heating and cooling needs.
Tircounty helped us replace a 30+ year old HVAC System. THey did what they said they would do and followed up to insure that we understood the new systems. We are up in the mtns and they were always available to come and help us even when we messed up. When we added our i/2 bath they were their to insure the construction guys were intergrating into our hvac to achieve max efficiency Dick C
Awesome work and awesome guys. Wayne came out for the estimate and the installation happened the next day! Todd and Wesson were professional and fun. I would hire them again in a minute!
Good work, on time.
Wayne and his guy's did an outstanding job for me. Very professional and conscientious. I will definitely use them again.
Wayne and his crew do an excellent job of taking care of our heating and air needs.
Great service and very knowledgeable and professional!
I highly recommend them if you want it done right the first time!
Thank you.
On time. Prepared. Knowledgeable. Job done right. Will use again.
Wayne Buras did an exceptionally thorough evaluation of our cabin's HVAC needs. He also shared excellent cold and hot weather tips designed to maximize the efficiency of our system.
Tri-County Heating and Air is the best in the business. The experience and customer service you received from Tri-County can't be beat!
I have never had a problem with this company always on time and courteous and pricing is very fair they take time and explain all the problems and when we have to retire
I called because we did not have air and have an elderly lady in the home. Wayne was at our house within a few short hours and was able to fix our problem for a reasonable fee. Wayne is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I will definitely call Tri County Heating and Air if we need anything else.
Wayne and his crew are always on time, honest, and reliable. They do excellent work and we are thrilled to use their services any and every time we have a HVAC call.
Absolutely a home town fell. Wayne was very full of knowledge. He explained everything to my wife then when I came home called Wayne someone answered right away the he informs me that he could me that he could find a time that would match my schedule to walk me through everything he went over with the wife. I am thinking great here comes another service call and little did I know he didn't charge me with a service fee for either time. Wayne walked me through everything and explained how a HVAC system works. TRI-COUNTY had the best price and very professional job was Performed And never ask for payment until the job was complete. Also a side note his technician (Wesson) was very polite and Courteous Very happy
Straight forward pricing. Did exactly what he promised to do. Quick install.
This company does a fantastic job! I got quotes from several local companies and theirs was the best value and they delivered on time and on budget, I couldn't have asked for a better experience, will definitely call them again!
Wayne Burrus from Tri County Heating and Air came and gave me a quote for my house which needed new heating and air. I had several companies come out and they all wanted to over sell me. Wayne was upfront and honest. Out of 4 companies, I went with Tri County and Wayne put up with my numerous emails and calls of questions. I highly recommend Wayne Burrus of Tri County Heating and Air. He is very knowledgeable. Knows the product, not a salesman, just knows what he is selling and honest. After having that installed, I upgraded on my vents. My home is so comfortable now. I highly recommend them!!!
"I loved the service! Wayne is very knowledgable and trustworthy. I would highly recommend.
Our AC went out in the middle of the night called first thing on the morning and they were out in a couple hours and fixed the problem and at a very reasonable cost. Thank you so much!!
Where do you get great HVAC service in summer? I did because I called Wayne at 8pm after trimming my HVAC wire with hedge trimmers and he was over in 30 minutes. He fixed it right away at a reasonable cost. I definitely recommend Tri County Heating&Air! 2 thumbs up.
Awesome Service
I have used other heating and air companies in the past but Tri-County Heating and Air is by far the best company. Technician was on time and very knowledgeable. The technician enlightened me on things I did not know about my AC unit. In the end... the unit did need to be replaced. I called around and got several quotes but Tri-County Heating and Air was the cheapest. If you need heating and air work this is the company to hire.
Great Company
Tri-County Heating and Air was at my house within hours of my call.... I have small children and we were very hot. I called several companies and no one seemed to have same day service even though they advertise that they do. Wayne came out and explained to me the problem and had us up and running within a couple of hours. The service call fee was reasonable as well. Other companies wanted to charge over $100 and Tri-County did not charge that much. I will be using Tri-County Heating and Air for all of my heating and cooling needs.
Honest and reliable
Technicians were very friendly and helpful. Explained in great detail how things work and what needed to be done to fix the problem. I had called another company the day before and all they wanted was for me to purchase a new system. My system is now working properly and our family is nice and cool now. Thank you Tri-County Heating and Air for all you did for my family.
Making Service
Wayne and his crew was amazing and saved my family from the heat and didn't break the bank. They was on time and didn't ask for any money up front also didn't pay till he knew I was happy with the service I was provide with. I highly recommend Tri-County
A+++ service
Wayne came out on time and repaired my ac unit. My unit is old and he spent the time to discuss replacement cost of my unit. He has earned my business. Thanks
Professional, Competent and Straight Forward
Called Tri-County Heating and Air approximately 8 AM with an A/C problem, and they were at our home by 11 AM. Wayne and Wesson were friendly and helpful and diagnosed the problem immediately. Wayne showed in-depth discipline expertise and explained the problem and our options clearly and concisely. He was very patient, answered all questions in a very courteous and professional manner. We elected to replace the A/C which they said they could do the next day. They were on time, thorough, showed concern for our property, and cleaned up when they were finished. Their price was competitive and we were provided an age-related discount. Definitely recommend.
Great service
Had problems with our motor on the fan. Service technician found the problem within minutes. Found a new part and had it installed the same day. Highly recommended
Speedy high quality service on a HOT day!
Our air conditioning unit went out on a Saturday. I left a message on the website and within 30 minutes I had a call back with an appointment for the same day. ON A SATURDAY! The technician was very courteous and explained everything and of course fixed the problem and now we are AC enabled! Thank you very much; we know who to call if we have another problem or if we decide to replace our unit. I will recommend this company to all of my friends.
High Quality Service
Wayne and his guys just completed new HVAC System install for me and did great job. Would definitely recommend them to friends and family.Pricing was competitive and no surprises at the end.
Quick Response
Called them around 8:30 in am and William was here by 11:00. Friendly, helpful and quick to resolve our problem. Price was great too. We will be calling on Tri-County Heating & Air from now on.
Best by far!!
After calling around for local services and being unable to either get a quick call back or someone to visit with 24-48 hrs, I was referred to Tri-County. What a pleasure! Not only did they answer the phone but was able to get a tech out same day! My mom is 85 and on Hospice care so I was very concerned about her comfort but no worry with Tri-County. Will def recommend to anyone in their service area! Thank you again!! Debbie H.
Good guys and excellent service
Wayne and his guys have installed new hvac and a hot water heater for us. They are always professional, show up when expected and do the job as stated. I'm hopeful that we wont need to call them for anything else in the near future but if we have an issue these are the guys we will call.
You CAN get quick HVAC service in summer!
Where do you get great HVAC service in summer? I did because I called Wayne at 8pm after trimming my HVAC wire with hedge trimmers and he was over in 30 minutes. He fixed it right away at a reasonable cost. I definitely recommend Tri County Heating&Air! 2 thumbs up.
Excellent Service and knowledge
Wayne arrived on time and was completely professional, knowledgeable and honest! They were able to come out right away and solve my issues and in an extrmely friendly manner. I would highly recommend them to ANYONE and will never go anywhere else for my HVAC needs. Wayne was recommended to me by a friend and now I know why he uses him all the time.
Reliable and Efficient !!
I called Tri County at 1:00 with an air condition problem, said they would be here between 3 and 3:30. arrived on time and found the problem. It was getting late, assumed they would fix my air the next day, but they went and got the part and had my air running in a couple hours. Everything was explained to me and I felt I had found a honest and reliable company !!!! My husband was very pleased.
Mr. Buras was very professional and explained everything very thoroughly. I was impressed with his knowledge of my HVAC system. We now use Tri County for our church A/C maintenance. My daughter recently used his company to replace her complete home A/C system. I highly recommend Tri County Heating and Air.
Great Service
Very good service,no complaint
new heating and air heat pump
Tri County was the best experience ive had with heating and air companies. Very honest, reliable and very well priced. Explained everything in detail told me i didnt need to rearrange my duct work because the unit was larger like another company had. He only had to move the unit out 4 inches, the other company told me they would have to check and see how much extra. Great company I highly recommend and will continue to use only them in the future
Great Service, honest. We WILL be using Tri-County again!
Wayne came out to help us with our ac issue after we had quotes from two other big name brands just trying to sell us a new unit. He was honest, personable, and extremely knowledgeable. He was able to temporarily fix the unit at a cheaper cost to get us by, allowing us some time to budget for a new unit. He thoroughly explained the issues, and advised us on what we need in a new unit and how to maintain them (new home ownership doesn't come with a Manual!) We will certainly go with Wayne at Tri County when we buy a new ac unit and highly recommend him (and thank you again Wayne!)
Wayne and his crew have always been honest and trustworthy in working on our systems! They replaced 2 systems at a fraction of the cost that others tried to sell us, and maitnence them every year to ensure it blows cold!!! I can call them in an emergency and they are there! Great job Wayne!!!!
Good customer service
The technician came to the house on time, knocked on the door, and introduced himself. Rusty replaced my system and installed a new one but the best part was his attention to detail. He stayed at my house for about 20 extra minutes after he was finished just to make sure all of the trash/dirt was cleaned up. He even wore covers on his shoes to make sure he didn't bring any dirt on my carpets!! Can't beat that
The man came and fixed a prob I had w/ ductwork.... I thought I was gunna drop abt $300+ fixin it but the tech came out and had my air running the way it should for $79
Had a problem with my coil
The ac wasnt working the way it should. Had multiple hvac companies come out to figure out the problem. Most told me there were multiple problems and some even wanted me to replace my whole system! tri-county came and told me the sole problem was the coil and gave me a good price to fix it. They replaced the coil on the same day they came out and I haven't had a problem since.
my husband is out of town
and i dont know anything about the air conditioner. all i knew was that it was hot. husband used tri county before and told me to call again. wayne came out at the most convenient time for me, fixed the air, and im enjoying a cool temperature in my home again. seems to care about what hes doing
Easy, cost effective, and simple
Like car mechanics, you never know what you're going to get when it comes to hvac companies. My wife and I called Tri-county hvac during afterhours and Wayne arrived at my house about 30 minutes after. He explained to me that my capacitor was causing the machine to not work properly, but he did not try to "upsell" me by fixing other things that I did not want to fix. He informed me of the potential problems that could come from my system but he did not put any pressure on me to buy it. Will certainly go with them again.
Thanks Wayne!
Wayne came to my house, gave my wife and I an honest assessment of what we needed to do. Installed equipment in one day. Fair and affordable. 5 stars from us!

Australian Mark Webber has branded as "comical" the reprimand he was given for hitching a ride on Fernando Alonso's Ferrari after Sunday's Singapore Grand Prix.
The reprimands for the Red Bull driver and Alonso have been a talking point since the weekend with Webber also collecting a 10 place penalty on the starting grid for next week's Korean Grand Prix because of two previous offences.
Webber told his 765,000 followers on Twitter on Tuesday that for the pair "to receive reprimands for our actions after the race it is comical to say the least. Great moment, and fans loved it.
"And while I'm at it, contrary to reports, there was no interaction at all with any track officials after we put the fire out." The Australian had retired on the last lap at the Marina Bay street circuit after his car ran out of water and the engine caught fire.
He then ran back on the floodlit track to wave down Alonso's Ferrari, which other cars had to weave to avoid, on the slowing down lap and ride to the pits on it.
Mercedes's Lewis Hamilton, one of those who took avoiding action, said later he was shocked when he came round the corner.
"If Mark had been walking across where I went then I would have run him over," said the 2008 world champion.
Britain's Derek Warwick, a former Grand Prix racer who was one of the stewards in Singapore, said the reprimands were fully justified because of the potential danger posed.
"It is not health and safety gone mad," he told the Daily Telegraph. "A driver could easily have been hurt. I hope we're not seen as killjoys.''
"I want Formula One to be entertaining. I want it to be a spectacle.
"I'm a big fan of MotoGP and I wish we in Formula One could get closer to the drivers like they do in MotoGP," he added.

The Duchess of Cambridge presented shamrocks to soldiers from the Irish Guards as the regiment commemorated St Patrick's Day in traditional fashion.
The Duchess gave out the sprigs as The Duke, Colonel of the Irish Guards, observed the parade and took the salute at the regiment's base Mons Barracks in Aldershot, Hampshire.
Assembled for the ceremony today were proud family members and friends of the Guards who were seated on the parade square to enjoy the presentation of the shamrocks.
The tradition began in 1901 by Queen Alexandra, wife of King Edward VII. The shamrocks were previously given by the Queen Mother.
Baron and Baroness Carrickfergus as the Royal couple would be known in Northern Ireland arrived at the military base by chauffeur driven car and were welcomed by commanding officer 1st Battalion Irish Guards, Lieutenant Colonel Ed Boanas.
In honour of the festive spirit of today,the Duchess wore a smart emerald green coat by Hobbs and coordinating hat by Gina Foster. Adding to her ensemble was a gold Cartier Irish Guards brooch that was worn by the Queen Mother and a Royal Family heirloom. The Duke looked dashing in a Household Division frock coat complete with his ceremonial sword.
Happy St Patrick's Day: This is Conmael the Irish Wolfhound, who is the mascot of 1st Battalion The Irish Guards pic.twitter.com/F3UeVej4we

Also taking part in today's festivities was, the 1st Battalion Irish Guards mascot, Domhnall – the Irish Wolfhound. The British Army tweeted the endearing photo of their mascot. Domhnall also received a sprig of shamrocks from the Duchess.
Later today, the couple will meet members of the Regiment, before assembling for Officers' and Sergeants' Mess photographs. They will also visit the Guardsmens' cookhouse then enjoy lunch privately in the Officers' Mess before leaving the Mons Barracks.

Broomfield is one of Colorado's more unusual towns in that it is both a city and a county in its own right. Possibly named for the broomcorn that grows abundantly, this sprawling city found itself being served by four different counties at one point. In order meet resident needs more efficiently as the population grew, it applied for and was granted county status to bring public services under one roof.
Visitors will find marvelous shopping opportunities at the popular FlatIron Crossing mall. Due to a supportive business environment, Broomfield is also home to specialty cookie company Mrs. Fields, along with several technology companies and other large corporations.
Broomfield is also home to the 1st Bank Center, bringing a variety of attractions to the area through concerts, trade shows, rodeos, circuses, and other community events.
Residents can find a variety of outdoor activities on the extensive trails and parks system, which includes a well-appointed skateboard park and three golf courses. The centrally located park, the Broomfield County Commons, features recreation center with a plethora of activities for all to enjoy - from the rock climbing wall, to the lazy river, as well as other indoor and outdoor activity areas.

HOTSEAT- Adam's adamant: Gottschalk pulls no punches on sports talk show
Many boys grow up wanting to be police officers, and might even play games of cops and robbers with their siblings, but never grow up to wear the badge. While Adam Gottschalk never aspired to don the blue, all he's wanted to do, ever since he can remember, is talk sports until he was blue in the face.
"Even as a little kid," says Gottschalk, "I could never just sit still and watch the game. I'd always have to mute it and do my own play-by-play."
All grown up now, Gottschalk hasn't stopped offering his observations and opinions on all things sports, he's just doing it for a much larger audience. As host and producer of the daily afternoon drive-time radio show The Fourth Quarter on AM 1400 WKAV, Gottschalk has become Charlottesville's biggest sports fan–- or at least the one with the biggest microphone.
"This is about taking that conversation that goes on about sports in every barroom in this town and putting it on the air," says Gottschalk. "It's basically group therapy for UVA fans."
Lately, that therapy has included a lot of venting for his listeners, frustrated at a 5-7 record for the football team, and the worst men's basketball season since 1967. However, Gottschalk is no Dr. Frasier Crane, a voice of reason there to ease his listeners' minds.
"I'm as upset as anyone," says Gottschalk. "I like and respect [UVA athletic director] Craig Littlepage, but I just see this malaise, and I think UVA is at a point where it needs to decide if it wants to be a big time athletics school or not."
Gottschalk has held this view for a while, but could never really say so until the fall of 2008 when he started The Fourth Quarter.
For seven years, starting with when he was an 17-year-old senior at Albemarle High School, Gottschalk was an integral part of the sports team at WINA, eventually ascending to the position of sports director. But at the flagship station for UVA athletics, complete with contractual affiliations, Gottschalk says he was limited in how much he could criticize the University.
"In order to do our jobs as reporters, we depended on UVA for access," says Gottschalk, "and you just couldn't be critical of UVA without getting cut off."
Now, across town at WKAV, Gottschalk says his new employer and his new role as commentator allow him to be far more liberated in what he can say on the air.
"I'm not out to get anybody," says Gottschalk, "but it's my top priority to be honest with my listeners. I can be harsh, but I try to be fair."
For example, Gottschalk was one of Dave Leitao's most vocal critics this past basketball season.
"It didn't matter to me that they were losing," says Gottschalk. "What I saw was a crisis of confidence. You know how in the Marines, they tear you down in basic training, but then they build you back up? With Dave Leitao, I saw a lot of tearing players down and not very much building up."
What has built up, according to Gottschalk, is his audience.
"We built this up from nothing," says Gottschalk, "and, steadily, we've seen more and more people calling in, I've gotten more and more feedback in the community, and I think it's safe to say we've got a pretty sizable audience now."
Not that Gottschalk thinks he had anything to do with Leitao's departure.
"I'm pretty sure," says Gottschalk, "neither Craig Littlepage nor Dave Leitao listen to my show."
Age: 24
Why here? Parents moved here when I was young to escape NYC, and I've never quite found a good enough reason to leave.
What's worst about living here? It definitely has it's share of "small town" gossip...And apparently it takes 40 years to build a road. I still can't wrap my mind around that.
Favorite hangout? Boylan Heights
Most overrated virtue? Patience. And temperance.
People would be surprised to know: Probably my age, given that I've been on the air full-time in Charlottesville since 2001. That, or the fact that I grew up with llamas and a miniature donkey in our back yard.
What would you change about yourself? I could definitely be a better listener. And I wish I could motivate myself to clean up my desk (and my car, and my apartment...)
Proudest accomplishment? Earning the Associated Press and/or Virginia Association of Broadcasters honors for best sports department in the state of Virginia each of my seven years with WINA.
People find most annoying about you: I haven't checked my voicemail in more than two years.
Whom do you admire? Barack Obama. And anyone who voluntarily chooses to serve the country in the military.
Favorite book? Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter. S. Thompson
Subject that causes you to rant? Listen to the show; you'll figure it out quickly.
Biggest 21st-century thrill? I keep telling people, if I have kids one day, and my house catches fire, I'm saving my iPhone first... then going back in for my family.
Biggest 21st-century creep out? Finding out the true extent of the damage of the Bush years.
What do you drive? 4-door Ford F-150 pickup
In your car CD player right now: Sons of Bill. Can't wait for the second album.
Next journey? Ireland in the spring
Most trouble you've ever gotten in? I once had to spend an entire "long lunch" during high school scrubbing gum off of desks, after spraying my science teacher with a water bottle (and inadvertently knocking the toupee off his head)
Regret: Regrets serve no purpose. Just learn from mistakes and try not to repeat them...
Favorite comfort food: Cereal
Always in your refrigerator: Starr Hill beer, olives, and usually literally nothing else
Must-see TV: Deadliest Catch, The Office, and Baseball Tonight
Describe a perfect day. Wake up without an alarm clock, play 18 holes of golf with two or three good friends; go to the ballpark (or stadium, or arena) and broadcast a game that ends with a dramatic finish... pick up the girlfriend and go out to a five-star restaurant for a good dinner, then pack the car and drive down to our cabin in the Carolina mountains and fall asleep in the hammock with a case of beer and a good book.
Walter Mitty fantasy: Lead singer-guitarist in a big-time rock band, moonlighting as a US Senator on the side
Who'd play you in the movie? Would love to say Jude Law... but every day puts me closer to Jack Black territory
Most embarrassing moment? I once managed to introduce one notable former UVA player as "Virginia's all-time interception king" (because that's what one old-timer had told me as a joke–- not realizing I didn't know who the player was, and therefore assumed he was simply telling me he was a great defensive back and not a mediocre quarterback (who was not pleased).
Best advice you ever got? On play-by-play...You are not the story. The game is the story. Call the play, then shut up, and get out of the way.
Favorite bumper sticker? "I brake for Leonard Sandridge." That one always slays me.

Pick-up lines
Back in February 1997, I was just moving in, and a neighbor boy wanted to be nice and meet the new kid on the block. He came up to my front porch, and the town drunk was there trying to stand up, but when he saw this boy he left in a hurry. (This was not a little boy.)
My new neighbor said to me, "Do you know anything about telephones?"
I replied, "If they ring, I pick them up."
To this, he replied, "You will do."
That was his pick-up line.
On this October 4, we will be happily married 13 years. Everyone said it wouldn't last six months.
My husband is the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back. And all he could think of was telephones.

I've had a set of Dotz Cronos 18x7.5's sitting out the back for a while, it's time for us to part ways.
I did intend on one day cleaning them up and getting them refinished, but never got around to it and I have to clear out the back yard.
Surface corrosion, but not buckled or cracked.
225/40/18 Goodyear Eagle Asymmetrics on them, varying tread depth, one is down to the canvas but the rest are ok.
I'm not into haggling, so like the title says, free to a good home. Must collect from the Dublin area.

About ISOLTRAP
Accurate mass measurements of short-lived nuclides are of high interest for a number of reasons: They allow direct observation of nuclear structure effects like the location of shell and sub-shell closures, pairing, or the onset of deformation. In combination with a precise study of super-allowed beta emission they provide tests of the standard model. Additionally, masses of unstable nuclei are the most critical nuclear physics parameters for reliable nucleosynthesis calculations in astrophysics.
The tandem Penning trap mass spectrometer ISOLTRAP at the on-line isotope separator ISOLDE at CERN/Geneva plays a leading role in this field. The masses of more than 400 short-lived nuclides have been measured with a relative uncertainty of typically δm/m ~ 5*10-8 and even almost up to one order of magnitude lower in some special cases. Recently, the performance of the Penning trap mass spectrometer ISOLTRAP has been considerably enhanced. Major technical improvements were implemented to increase the range of accessible nuclei to those that are produced in minute quantities of only 100 ions/s and to nuclei with half-lives down to ~50 ms as well as to decrease the typical relative uncertainty down to ~1*10-8. In particular, a linear radiofrequency quadrupole (RFQ) trap and a carbon-cluster source were added to the ISOLTRAP spectrometer. Since the unified atomic mass unit is defined as 1/12 of the mass of 12C the calibration of the magnetic field with carbon clusters allows absolute mass measurements.

Pelham Bay Park
Pelham Bay Park
More than three times the size of Manhattan's Central Park, Pelham Bay Park is the City's largest park property. Visitors to the park enjoy miles of bridle paths and hiking trails, Orchard Beach, the Bartow-Pell Mansion, two golf courses, and a breathtaking 13-mile saltwater shoreline that hugs the Long Island Sound.
The native Siwanoy Native Americans originally inhabited this area, attracted by the plentiful deer, turtle, and sturgeon. When the Dutch West India Company purchased the land from them in 1639, they termed the area "Vreedelandt," meaning land of freedom. However, after years of unsuccessful attempts to occupy the land, the Siwanoy still controlled the area. The most famous of these failed communities was the short-lived English colony founded by Anne Hutchinson in what is now the northwest corner of this park. Having fled religious persecution in Puritan Massachusetts, Hutchinson and most of her party were killed by Native Americans just a short time later in 1643. The nearby Hutchinson River bears her name.
Englishman Thomas Pell purchased 50,000 acres of land from the Siwanoy in 1654. Parkgoers can visit the site of the tree where he and Siwanoy leader Chief Wampage made their pact. In 1666, King Charles II chartered this land as part of the Manor of Pelham. During the Revolutionary War, Pell's land was part of the buffer between the British-held Manhattan and rebel-held Westchester. Hiding behind stone walls, 600 Massachusetts Patriots stopped the British and Hessian forces from making their way north from Rodman's Neck. Remains of the walls can be seen in the Split Rock Golf Course. A plaque at Glover's Rock commemorates this battle at Pell Point.
After the Pell family sold most of the land, Robert Bartow, a publisher and Pell descendant, purchased the remainder in 1836. He built the Bartow-Pell Mansion in 1842, a grey stone mansion with Greek Revival interiors located on Shore Road. It remained in the family until 1888, when the City acquired the estate. The mansion and its grounds have been maintained by the International Garden Club Incorporated since 1914. The site opened as a museum and educational center in 1947. The park's other historic residence, Hunter Mansion, was built in 1804. It once housed a collection of fine wines as well as paintings by European masters. Today only fragments of the foundation and landscaped features endure.
In the late 1800s, Bronx resident and founder of the New York Parks Association John Mullaly spearheaded a movement to retain some of the natural areas before they were destroyed by overdevelopment. The State Legislature appointed a commission to acquire large tracts of land to form a Bronx parks system. Pelham Bay Park officially became Bronx Parks Department property in 1888 when the City of the Bronx purchased the land for a total cost of $2,746,688 and changed the collection of estates into a unified park. The original site was over 1,700 acres.
The park evolved from natural woodland into an enhanced recreational facility when Parks Commissioner Robert Moses (1888–1981) filled the park with playgrounds, comfort stations and other amenities. He upgraded the Pelham and Split Rock Golf Courses in the 1930s and began one of his most ambitious park projects: the building of today's Orchard Beach. Eager to increase public use of the area, Moses initiated an $8 million project that added a new parking lot and a 90,000-square-foot bathhouse complex. When it opened in 1936, the landfill-fortified beach attracted thousands of bathers. In 1947, the beach was extended 1.25 miles by filling in the shallow water in LeRoy's Bay between Hunter and Twin islands, adding 115 acres of parkland. When the Department of Sanitation received permission to use the area south of the Pelham Bridge as a landfill, conservation groups succeeded in having the State designate 375 acres of marshland as a wildlife refuge. The Thomas Pell Wildlife Refuge was created in 1967.
Renovations continue each year. A $2.3 million project funded by Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and Borough President Fernando Ferrer to reconstruct portions of the Bathhouse at Orchard Beach was completed in 2000. That same year, Mayor Giuliani partially funded an $893,000 restoration of a salt marsh at Pelham Bay Lagoon adjacent to the northwest corner of the Orchard Beach parking lot. In 2001, Council Member Madeline Provenzano funded a $600,000 monument conservation that benefited several monuments in the park including the Bronx Victory Memorial (1933) commemorating the Bronx casualties in World War I.

CLEVELAND -- Although Dolphins coach Joe Philbin said quarterback Ryan Tannehill will play with the starting unit in Sunday evening's Hall of Fame game, the status of at least four starters is highly questionable to the point you shouldn't expect to see them.
Defensive tackle Jared Odrick (groin), defensive tackle Randy Starks (knee), receiver Mike Wallace (groin) and receiver Brian Hartline (calf) are not likely to play.
None are expected to miss significant time going forward, but because all missed practice the past few days and are still trying to reach 100 percent health, it seems to make little sense to play any of them.
Hartline, who is the closest to health in the group, wants to play because the game is in his native Ohio. But a source close to Hartline said it nonetheless makes little sense to risk an aggravation of the calf muscle in exchange for a couple of series of action in an otherwise meaningless preseason game.
Of the four, it is certain neither Odrick nor Starks will play. Although they are in the midst of a competition for a starting defensive end job and both have much to prove this season -- Starks because he'll be unsigned for 2014 and Odrick because he's being moved from DE to DT -- the competition was derailed temporarily this week when Starks first and then Odrick got hurt.
Odrick is day to day with the groin. Starks may be out a bit longer but a club source confirmed his injury is not considered worrisome.

Jacobson: "For Cause & For Country: A Study of the Affair at Spring Hill and the Battle of Franklin"
In the present, Eric A. Jacobson is making his own imprint on the literature. For Cause & for Country: A Study of the Affair At Spring Hill & the Battle of Franklin (by Eric Jacobson and Richard Rupp, O'More Publishing: Franklin, TN. Footnotes, OB, bibliography, photos, 7 maps, pp. 519) concentrates on arguably the two most important days of the campaign. These two days, the last 48 hours of November 1864, saw the seemingly inexplicable lost opportunity at Spring Hill and the tragic bloodbath at Franklin a day later. Prior to this, Jacobson recounts the initial maneuverings of both armies as they struggled with distances, logistical problems, and weather.
The author's study of the "Spring Hill Affair" almost stands on its own as a worthy book-length exercise. This evenhanded examination of this event is the best written, most clearly organized, and most judicously analyzed account that I've read thus far. Jacobson lays out the available evidence in all its many contradictions and avoids pinning the blame on any single person for the sake of creating a narrative villain. The author uncovered no convincing evidence of drunkenness, drug-induced decisionmaking impairment, or of Ben Cheatham experiencing sensual pleasures with Jessie Peters when he should have been smashing Yankees. Of course, even though there was certainly plenty of blame to go around, it is recognized that Hood as overall commander must bear the ultimate responsibility for the aborted advance.
Another positive point deserving mention is the author's original research into the order of battle for both sides. Jacobson discovered several units not present in the OB of previous studies. For Cause & For Country now boasts the most complete OB to date for Spring Hill and Franklin.
On several levels, Mr. Jacobson is a very good writer of non-fiction military history. He approaches the source material with an open mind, and I give him high marks for style, clarity, and organization.
The Confederate infantry assaults are covered in minute tactical detail and reader is guided seamlessly through these tragic events. However, this does lead me to one of my few criticisms of the book. Federal unit positions and movements at Franklin are depicted in the text at a regimental scale (a welcome attention to detail at a level of completeness you won't find anywhere else), while those of the Confederates are predominately at brigade level or above. Whether this was driven by the comparative availability of source material or by conscious decision, I cannot say. Granted, by this stage of the war, many of the brigades in the Army of Tennessee were smaller than a large Union regiment, but I still would like to have seen more regimental-level detail for the Confederate side.
My most significant complaint is with the maps. There simply weren't enough for a study of this level of complexity and small unit scale. The two regimental-level maps showing the placement of Union regiments inside Franklin's main defensive line are very good, but Confederate battlefield positions are limited to a single map showing the placement of each division prior to the first assault. For the Battle of Franklin, no maps trace the maneuvers of either side at any scale, an unfortunate omission. Readers would also have benefitted from a map of cavalry operations during the initial stages of the campaign. On the other hand, it is a tribute to the descriptive skills of the writer that I never felt lost on the battlefield.
For Cause & For Country is certainly deserving of a wide readership. General readers unfamiliar with the campaign will be treated to a highly complex but skillfully organized, easy-to-follow campaign narrative written in stirring fashion. Specialists will appreciate the most detailed treatment yet of the Spring Hill/Franklin battles and will revel in the author's discovery of new source material and his thorough reexamination of previously available evidence. The book is awash with fresh interpretations of controversies old and new. Highly recommended.

Great review Drew, and closely mirrors my own thoughts. Since I'm in the middle of writing a review of the book myself, I found it intriguing that our thoughts on it are so similar. The book, IMO, is the best out there on Spring Hill/Franklin (and that includes Sword's). And I also had a slight problem with a lack of maps. Anyway, great review, and very nice blog.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Joe. I'll look forward to reading your review at CWI. The book is the best thing I've read about Spring Hill and Franklin, too. It deserves promotion and I hope a lot of people get to read it and digest it.ReplyDelete

Okay, let's stick with my employment analogy: Imagine you have two choices 1) a job that pays a flat 50K per year and 2)a commision based sales job that has the potential to pay more than 50K per year. Ofcourse the sales job can pay more than 50K, but you would not want to ignore the fact that the sales job could potentially pay far less than 50K depending on how you do. This is my point. The machine ignores this possibility, and further ignores the fact that risk is multiplied (risk measured by volatility of returns or just shortfall risk (possibility of not achieving your goals))
A lot of economists have been warning about a bubble around the housing market, any thoughts/opinions on this subject? horrible time to buy?
Quote from: agitatorE on May 12, 2005, 02:43:16 PMA lot of economists have been warning about a bubble around the housing market, any thoughts/opinions on this subject? horrible time to buy?There are huge differences between the stock market and the real estate market. The speculative bubble in the stock market was driven by insane stock valuations, the internet phenomena, a gambling mentality (every Tom male private part and Harry thought they could get rich overnight), and great marketing by new companies and brokerage houses.On the other hand, the increase in home prices has been driven by more "honest" demand. People need a place to live, and in certain areas of the country that are more attractive for people to move to (DC for example) demand has just been crazy. This coupled with a favorable interest rate environment and somewhat limited housing supply, prices had no way to go but up. This is a somewhat simplified explanation, but I'm trying to get this across: the drivers that pushed stock prices to those astronomically insane levels are far different from those that have moved the real estate market to current levels. Furthermore, (daymn this is getting long), for there to be a "bursting of the bubble" there has to be some liquidity, like the stock market, where prices can drop 50% in a day. There is no such liquidity in the housing market, so the worse we can probably see is a "fizzle"...i.e price appreciation slowing down over a reasonably long period of time.I can send you some info on this if you like. Oh, and I'll bring the financial guide stuff to work tomorrow, and send it to you.HTH
