What do you think?California Plastic Bag Ban<br />
<br />
All I have is my feelings about the subject. So, agree with my thought or not that is okay with me. I hate to say that I don't have all the information about this bill, but I don't. I opt for plastic for produce and meat's. Why you might say. Well I don't want any cross contamination. My thoughts are if I am going to use cloth bags for meat, I will have to have a designated bag just for that. Making sure to wash after every use. For me it is about health. But, how much saving the planet am I doing by washing my bags. Or even sharing my feelings about it and others start washing more often.<br />
<br />
May be there should be a plastic bag ban, with an exception on items that can cross contaminate.<br />

If you’ve caught yourself wondering whether or not you will have enough income at retirement to continue your current standard of living, you are not alone. In fact, having enough retirement income is one of the leading concerns facing Americans today. Due to the limits on contributions to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA), Qualified Retirement Plans, and the uncertainty of Social Security retirement benefits, individuals earning high incomes may find that a diminishing percentage of their current compensation can be replaced at retirement through these traditional sources. This is where Life Insurance can help combat the reverse discrimination that hurts successful people.</div>

Harvard
University researchers say they’ve developed a new type of battery that
could make it economical to store a couple of days of <a href="http://www.technologyreview.com/news/523251/new-battery-material-could-help-wind-and-solar-power-go-big/#" id="_GPLITA_2" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent ! important; border: medium none ! important; display: inline ! important; float: none ! important; height: auto ! important; margin: 0px ! important; min-height: 0px ! important; min-width: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important; text-decoration: underline ! important; vertical-align: baseline ! important; width: auto ! important;" title="Click to Continue > by Sense">electricity<img src="http://cdncache1-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent ! important; border: medium none ! important; display: inline ! important; float: none ! important; height: 10px ! important; margin: 0px 0px 0px 3px ! important; min-height: 0px ! important; min-width: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important; vertical-align: super ! important; width: 10px ! important;" /></a> from wind farms and other sources of power. The new battery, which is described in the journal <a href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v505/n7482/full/nature12909.html" target="_blank"><em>Nature</em></a>,
is based on an organic molecule—called a quinone—that’s found in plants
such as rhubarb and can be cheaply synthesized from crude oil. The
molecules could reduce, by two-thirds, the cost of energy storage
materials in a type of battery called a flow battery, which is
particularly well suited to storing large amounts of energy.<br />
If it
solves the problem of the intermittency of power sources like wind and
solar, the technology will make it possible to rely far more heavily on
renewable energy. Such batteries could also reduce the number of power
plants needed on the grid by allowing them to operate more efficiently,
much the way a battery in a <a href="http://www.technologyreview.com/news/523251/new-battery-material-could-help-wind-and-solar-power-go-big/#" id="_GPLITA_0" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent ! important; border: medium none ! important; display: inline ! important; float: none ! important; height: auto ! important; margin: 0px ! important; min-height: 0px ! important; min-width: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important; text-decoration: underline ! important; vertical-align: baseline ! important; width: auto ! important;" title="Click to Continue > by Sense">hybrid vehicle<img src="http://cdncache1-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent ! important; border: medium none ! important; display: inline ! important; float: none ! important; height: 10px ! important; margin: 0px 0px 0px 3px ! important; min-height: 0px ! important; min-width: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important; vertical-align: super ! important; width: 10px ! important;" /></a> improves fuel economy.<br />
In
a flow battery, energy is stored in liquid form in large tanks. Such
batteries have been around for decades, and are used in places like
Japan to help manage the power grid, but they’re expensive—about $700
per kilowatt-hour of storage capacity, according to one estimate. To
make storing hours of energy from wind farms economical, batteries need
to cost just $100 per kilowatt-hour, according to the U.S. Department of
Energy.<br />
The energy storage materials account for only a fraction
of a flow battery’s total cost. Vanadium, the material typically used
now, costs about $80 per kilowatt-hour. But that’s high enough to make
hitting the $100 target for the whole system impossible. <a href="http://www.seas.harvard.edu/directory/aziz" target="_blank">Michael Aziz</a>, a professor of materials and energy technologies at Harvard <a href="http://www.technologyreview.com/news/523251/new-battery-material-could-help-wind-and-solar-power-go-big/#" id="_GPLITA_4" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent ! important; border: medium none ! important; display: inline ! important; float: none ! important; height: auto ! important; margin: 0px ! important; min-height: 0px ! important; min-width: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important; text-decoration: underline ! important; vertical-align: baseline ! important; width: auto ! important;" title="Click to Continue > by Sense">University<img src="http://cdncache1-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent ! important; border: medium none ! important; display: inline ! important; float: none ! important; height: 10px ! important; margin: 0px 0px 0px 3px ! important; min-height: 0px ! important; min-width: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important; vertical-align: super ! important; width: 10px ! important;" /></a>
who led the work, says the quinones will cut the energy storage
material costs down to just $27 per kilowatt-hour. Together with other
recent advances in bringing down the cost of the rest of the system, he
says, this could put the DOE target in reach.<br />
The Harvard work is
the first time that researchers have demonstrated high-performance flow
batteries that use organic molecules instead of the metal ions usually
used. The quinones can be easily modified, which might make it possible
to improve their performance and reduce costs more. “The options for
metal ions were pretty well worked through,” Aziz says. “We’ve now
introduced a vast new set of materials.”<br />
After identifying
quinones as potential energy storage molecules, the Harvard researchers
used high-throughput screening techniques to sort through 10,000
variants, searching for ones that had all the right properties for a
battery, such as the right voltage levels, the ability to withstand
charging and discharging, and the ability to be dissolved in water so
they could be stored in liquid tanks.<br />
So far the researchers are
using quinones only for the negative side of the battery. The positive
side uses bromine, a corrosive and toxic material. The researchers are
developing new versions of the quinones that could replace the bromine.<br />
The Harvard researchers are working with the startup <a href="http://www.sustainableinnov.com/" target="_blank">Sustainable Innovations</a> to develop a horse-trailer sized battery that can be used to store power from <a href="http://www.technologyreview.com/news/523251/new-battery-material-could-help-wind-and-solar-power-go-big/#" id="_GPLITA_3" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent ! important; border: medium none ! important; display: inline ! important; float: none ! important; height: auto ! important; margin: 0px ! important; min-height: 0px ! important; min-width: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important; text-decoration: underline ! important; vertical-align: baseline ! important; width: auto ! important;" title="Click to Continue > by Sense">solar panels<img src="http://cdncache1-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent ! important; border: medium none ! important; display: inline ! important; float: none ! important; height: 10px ! important; margin: 0px 0px 0px 3px ! important; min-height: 0px ! important; min-width: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important; vertical-align: super ! important; width: 10px ! important;" /></a> on commercial buildings.<br />
The
Harvard researchers still need to demonstrate that the new materials
are durable enough to last the 10 to 20 years that electric utilities
would like batteries to last, says Robert Savinell, a professor of
engineering and chemical engineering at Case Western Reserve University.
Savinell wasn’t involved with the Harvard work. He says initial
durability results for the quinones are promising, and says the new
materials “without a doubt” can be cheap enough for batteries that store

And he says the materials “can probably be commercialized in a relatively short time”—within a few years.<br />

The researchers face competition from other startups developing
cheaper flow batteries, such as EnerVault and Sun Catalytix (see “<a href="http://www.technologyreview.com/view/512736/startup-enervault-rethinks-flow-battery-chemistry/">Startup EnerVault Rethinks Flow Battery Chemistry”</a> and “<a href="http://www.technologyreview.com/view/512071/sun-catalytix-seeks-second-act-with-flow-battery/">Sun Catalytix Seeks Second Act with Flow Battery</a>”).
Sun Catalytix is developing inorganic molecules to improve performance
and lower cost, although it isn’t saying much about them. EnerVault uses
iron and chromium as storage materials and is developing ways to reduce
the cost of the overall system.</section>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04597622992612990295noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384651448119952910.post-53385998028663915482013-12-07T18:51:00.001-08:002013-12-07T18:51:50.934-08:00wood stove hot water<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I took a class with Master Gardeners, last weekend took some notes I would like to share. The day started with a wonderful speaker Shayne Zurligen, from the Boggs Tract Community Farm, about the Food Forests.<br />
So, you may say to yourself what is a food forest. It is really about the layers of trees and plants that create a sustainable living environment. Spacing the layers helps each group to thrive and provide for the others.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Tall Tree</li>
<li>Low Tree</li>
<li>Shrubs</li>
<li>Herbal</li>
<li>Ground</li>
<li>Vine</li>
<li>Root </li>
</ul>
Each providing for protection from evaporation and replacement of nutrients into the soil, such as leaves and grass into nitrogen.<br />
<br />Bulbs like Daffodils can help repel animals such as deer and gofers. The bulbs release a smell that keep deer away. Daffodils are not only beautiful but help sustain your garden from wild life.<br />
Also needed in the garden plants that attract birds and insects.<br />
<ul>
<li>queen ann's lace</li>
<li>cosomos</li>
<li>zinia</li>
<li>fennel</li>
<li>yarrow</li>
<li>maples</li>
<li>butterfly bush</li>
<li>rasberry</li>
<li>blackberry</li>
<li>blueberry</li>
</ul>
Important to share the harvest not only with people but the animals and insects in your garden community. When I find that the ants have taken over one of my eggplants, I leave it in the garden for them. Taking a loss on one eggplant means they have what they want and only take what they need.<br />
<br />
Providing habitat nooks for garden creatures provides them with a place to hide while staying near the garden to create the life cycle to sustain the garden. Placing ladybug houses in the garden protects ladybugs from birds and provides them a place to come back to.<br />
<br />
Grass and herbal ground cover provide protection from evaporation saving on water usage.<br />
<br />
There was so much information to take in from the Master Gardeners Class, that one day was not enough time. I suggest that if you ever get an opportunity to attend a Master Gardeners, to do so. <br />
<br />
<br />

OK I have not dedicated very much time to my blog lately. Have not been feeling very good lately, but got a lot of sleep today and was able to do some stuff. This is the update video of the garden August 10, 2013. I also made some cupcakes and a cake with cream cheese icing. Not much for most of us, but I have been down and out for so long it was good to do something. I will have some photo's of pink naked ladies plants / also known as pink lilies soon. Thanks for watching.....<br />
