[MBZ] Bio gas from pistachio shells
What would you do with thousands of tons of leftover nutshells? It's a question that Turkey — the world's third-biggest producer of pistachios,behind Iran and the United States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistachio#Cultivation — has been asking itself for years. Usually discarded pistachio shells end up in landfills, but nut-loving Turks think they've found a far better solution by turning it into biogas, an alternative fuel produced by the breakdown of organic matter. Now Turkey wants to use pistachio shells to power its first eco-city, which will require fermenting tons of the green waste in so-called digesters, and then using the resulting gases — mostly methane — to generate heat. [image: A rendering of Turkey's first eco-city, will be founded between Gaziantep and Kilis province on Turkey's border with Syria in the country's southern Gaziantep region.]i http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/11/20/365315940/turkey-looks-for-energy-in-an-abundant-resource-pistachio-shells?utm_source=utm_medium=emailutm_campaign=11731# A rendering of Turkey's first eco-city, will be founded between Gaziantep and Kilis province on Turkey's border with Syria in the country's southern Gaziantep region. Anadolu Agency/Getty Images The idea is not as odd as it sounds. For starters, the green city will be built in what's arguably the best possible location: Gaziantep Province. This southern region near the Syrian border is the heart of Turkey's pistachio production, yielding more than half of the country's nuts. When you plan such environment-friendly systems, you take a look at the natural resources you have. So we thought the ecological city could be heated by burning pistachio shells, explains Seda Muftuoglu Gulec, the municipality's expert on green architecture. If the region was abundant in wind power, we would use wind energy. This peculiar source of energy is renewable and cheap because Turkey has plenty of shells to go around, so much so that it exported 6,800 tons of pistachios last year — 500 tons shy of the weight of the Eiffel Tower — according to the Southeast Anatolia Exporters Union. Experts say turning pistachios into biogas, while untested, is not only technically feasible but also extremely convenient. Burgeap, the French environmental engineering company http://www.burgeap.fr/ that first proposed the idea to the government, claims that nutshells are the most efficient source of alternative energy in the region and could satisfy up to 60 percent of the city's heating needs. The planned 7,900-acre, nut-fueled city will be six miles from the province's capital city, Gaziantep, and is expected to become home to 200,000 people. This is Turkey's first attempt at building an eco-city, and it will be the only one in the world that's heated by pistachios — although in Australiamacadamia nutshells are already being turned into biomass http://www.power-technology.com/projects/suncoast-gold/. Meanwhile, in Monterrey, Mexico, the methane generated from decaying garbage http://cleantechnica.com/2013/03/04/biogas-from-garbage-powers-monterreys-city-lights/ is being converted into electricity to illuminate city lights. javascript:NPR.Player.openPlayer(301005600, 301005603, null, NPR.Player.Action.PLAY_NOW, NPR.Player.Type.STORY, '0') Researchers Experiment With Algae-Based Biofuel javascript:NPR.Player.openPlayer(301005600, 301005603, null, NPR.Player.Action.PLAY_NOW, NPR.Player.Type.STORY, '0') javascript:NPR.Player.openPlayer(245473238, 245474392, null, NPR.Player.Action.PLAY_NOW, NPR.Player.Type.STORY, '0') Is Running Your Car On Rubbish The Future Of Fuels? javascript:NPR.Player.openPlayer(245473238, 245474392, null, NPR.Player.Action.PLAY_NOW, NPR.Player.Type.STORY, '0') Green cities being built in other countries are based on other renewable sources. In China, for example, Tianjin Eco-city will be finished by 2020 http://www.tianjinecocity.gov.sg/, with most of its energy coming from solar panels. In India, Narendra Modi wants to build Dholera, a smart city twice the size of Mumbai http://www.theguardian.com/cities/2014/apr/17/india-smart-city-dholera-flood-farmers-investors that would be powered by various renewable energies, including wind. But skeptics doubt these idealistic projects will ever be fully realized, insisting that the plans are too expensive and detached from local reality. For now, Gaziantep's municipality is waiting for the results of exhaustive feasibility reports. Gulec says it's too soon to estimate how much it will cost, but if the project gets greenlighted, construction of the new city will start in the next two years. A pilot scheme will start with a 135-acre piece of land and, if successful, expand into an entire city during the next following two decades. If the project bears fruit, it might inspire other agricultural regions to look at how to convert what they typically consider waste into fuel for the future. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com

[MBZ] OT - Another non-political B-52 tale - SAC ALERT DINING
SAC ALERT DINING - BATTLE OF THE FRENCH FRIES By Wilton Strickland The usual dining fare at Strategic Air Command (SAC) alert facilities was most often very good, possibly too good. The dining room was set up as a small cafeteria, with a short list of choices on the serving line: for example, for breakfast; cereal, scrambled eggs, grits, sausage, bacon, ham; for lunch and/or dinner, steak, hot dogs, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, baked potatoes, French fries, carrots, beans, corn, etc. One day in 1974 at Kincheloe AFB, MI, because I had not had breakfast, I was first in line for lunch. The airman/cook/server (his master sergeant supervisor leaning against the wall behind him watching and listening) on the serving line asked me what I would like to have. “A steak and French fries, please.” His reply, “Sir, you can’t have French fries with steak.” I asked, “Why not?” He replied, “Sir, if you want French fries, you’ll have to get a hamburger or a cheeseburger. If you want potato with steak, you’ll have to get a baked potato - French fries go with hamburger or cheeseburger; baked potato goes with steak.” I told him, “I don’t want a baked potato, I want French fries.” He put my steak back and started to put a hamburger on my plate. I reminded him that I had asked for a steak and, “I’m going to get some French fries with it.” He insisted, “The French fries go with the hamburger/cheeseburger; the baked potato goes with the steak.” Now, I began to lose my patience, “I’m a highly-trained professional whom Congress has entrusted with some of the nation’s topmost secrets. Our commanders have confined me here on alert ready to launch at a moment’s notice and strike targets in the Soviet Union with nuclear weapons, and you’re telling me I’m forbidden to have French fries with my steak? You put some French fries on that plate with a steak right NOW!” (Never before nor since have I ordered an enlistee in such a manner, and am embarrassed to have done so. I said it more so in protest of the dining facility’s policy and for the benefit of the master sergeant supervisor rather than so much to the young airman, who was merely following the sergeant’s instructions.) The server complied immediately, and I went on my way to enjoy the lunch of my choice. Henceforth, all diners at the alert facility had their choice of fries or baked potato. Many years later, after I had retired, I called a friend at The Pentagon who had witnessed the episode (in line behind me). He told me that the story of the “highly-trained professional who insisted on having French fries with his steak” was well known in the halls of that highest of US military headquarters. He said that he had related the story to the SECDEF and the Chiefs of Staff, all of whom had a good laugh over it. I would rather have been known there for having been an outstanding officer and warrior than to have been notorious for having won a silly battle over French fries, but we often have little control over what history records. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.

[MBZ] Best wire for accordion joints at doors
I think this has been discussed before. Isn't there a type of electrical wire suitable for use in a situation that subjects the wire to repeated flexing? I think that maybe wire which has a very high number of individual copper wires in the bundle is what would do the trick. I've got a couple of electrical gremlins in my '87 wagon that I need to cast out, and I am suspicious of broken wires at the accordion joints for the front doors and for the rear hatch.

I'm not sure the deniers were the ones that advocated that global warming as a myth. I remember hearing the arguments that human-caused CO2 emissions were irrelevant relative to the rest of the sources of CO2, and that rising temperatures might be good, as far back as the mid-90s when Larry Burkett was talking about it. I suspect the climate change denier was just a shorthand that got a lot of media play. Now that's all muddied by people who think they are supposed to believe whatever because it was on TV, but I don't think the leadership has changed much.

Re: [MBZ] Best wire for accordion joints at doors
No you want the most and finest strands available. I would salvage some of the appropriate wire size out of a car in the junkyard. that way you get insulation made to be flexible in cold and fine strands, and if you are creative, you can even get the right color coding. THNN has strands that are too thick and the insulation if not flexible enough Type MW would be the closest. Stranded wire. You could probably use some #12 or #14 THHN.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Another non-political B-52 tale - SAC ALERT DINING
Which reminds me: Mama always made some mighty fine buttermilk biscuits. One afternoon a few months before she died at 99 years and 3 months in April of '96, I visited her for a couple of hours. During that time, I asked her to tell me the details, step-by-step, how she made biscuits. She replied, Well, you get your breadboard (a scooped-out, elongated, wooden bowl that Daddy made for her soon after they married in 1915), and you put some flour in it and push the flour out from the center to make a low place where you start pouring the buttermilk and start mixing. You pour some buttermilk (use water if you don't have buttermilk, but it's a lot better with buttermilk) in the low place in the middle of the flour. Then start mixing the buttermilk and the flour with your fingers. As you get a little bit mixed, swirl it around a little bit and pull in a little more flour. Soon after you get the mixing going, reach into the lard pail and get a pinch of lard and add it to the mixture. This was the point I was waiting for and interjected, with laughter, A pinch, Hell, Mama, it was a hand full! Then she jumped me, Where did you learn to cuss like that? You didn't learn to talk like that around here! I retorted, again, with laughter, Well, I'll be damned, Mama, all I said was 'Hell.' She continued, Well, there's no need to cuss like that. I continued, Yes, I know, Mama, I was just testing you - wondering if you were still as feisty about that as always. I was just kidding. But I think you'll have to agree that the lard in the biscuits was a little more than a pinch. She agreed, Yes, that and the buttermilk are what made 'em so good. We had a good laugh and hugged enthusiastically. - Original Message - From: Curly McLain via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com To: Curt Raymond curtlud...@yahoo.com; Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Friday, November 21, 2014 1:47 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT - Another non-political B-52 tale - SAC ALERT DINING Which reminds me of 2 things. #1.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Another non-political B-52 tale - SAC ALERT DINING
ATTABOY +1 for Randy's comment. Obviously evidence of your training and fitness to command. SAC ALERT DINING - BATTLE OF THE FRENCH FRIES By Wilton Strickland The usual dining fare at Strategic Air Command (SAC) alert facilities was most often very good, possibly too good. The dining room was set up as a small cafeteria, with a short list of choices on the serving line: for example, for breakfast; cereal, scrambled eggs, grits, sausage, bacon, ham; for lunch and/or dinner, steak, hot dogs, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, baked potatoes, French fries, carrots, beans, corn, etc. One day in 1974 at Kincheloe AFB, MI, because I had not had breakfast, I was first in line for lunch. The airman/cook/server (his master sergeant supervisor leaning against the wall behind him watching and listening) on the serving line asked me what I would like to have. A steak and French fries, please. His reply, Sir, you can't have French fries with steak. I asked, Why not? He replied, Sir, if you want French fries, you'll have to get a hamburger or a cheeseburger. If you want potato with steak, you'll have to get a baked potato - French fries go with hamburger or cheeseburger; baked potato goes with steak. I told him, I don't want a baked potato, I want French fries. He put my steak back and started to put a hamburger on my plate. I reminded him that I had asked for a steak and, I'm going to get some French fries with it. He insisted, The French fries go with the hamburger/cheeseburger; the baked potato goes with the steak. Now, I began to lose my patience, I'm a highly-trained professional whom Congress has entrusted with some of the nation's topmost secrets. Our commanders have confined me here on alert ready to launch at a moment's notice and strike targets in the Soviet Union with nuclear weapons, and you're telling me I'm forbidden to have French fries with my steak? You put some French fries on that plate with a steak right NOW! (Never before nor since have I ordered an enlistee in such a manner, and am embarrassed to have done so. I said it more so in protest of the dining facility's policy and for the benefit of the master sergeant supervisor rather than so much to the young airman, who was merely following the sergeant's instructions.) The server complied immediately, and I went on my way to enjoy the lunch of my choice. Henceforth, all diners at the alert facility had their choice of fries or baked potato. Many years later, after I had retired, I called a friend at The Pentagon who had witnessed the episode (in line behind me). He told me that the story of the highly-trained professional who insisted on having French fries with his steak was well known in the halls of that highest of US military headquarters. He said that he had related the story to the SECDEF and the Chiefs of Staff, all of whom had a good laugh over it.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Another non-political B-52 tale - SAC ALERT DINING
Oh! I forgot about pie dough. We actually tried to make a better dough with lard, and ended up using butter flavor crisco. BUT (a big one) the lard we used was store plasticized lard. It is not much different than the vein pluggin crisco. I suspect if I were to repeat the trials with real home rendered lard (that will spoil) the results would be different. The store lard is hydrogenated the same as crisco so it won't spoil. Anything that does not spoil is not really food, and is not good for you.

Re: [MBZ] Bio gas from pistachio shells
I worked on several biogas projects through Purdue University in the late 70s/early 80s based at total confinement hog farms in the Lafayette, IN area. The smallest had roughly 2,000 head under one roof and it generated more than enough biogas to provide heat and power a standby generator. They were looking at ways to use it as motor fuel on the farm for powering the farm equipment and trucks but were having difficulties due to the low BTU content. Worked well for heating, though. Biogas installations are common at large wastewater treatment plants and landfills. The city of Gary or Hammond (IN), I can't remember which, had a huge digester and biogas recovery system that generated electricity for the plant and surrounding city buildings.

Much more realistic for building a off the grid system. Storing and using the gas to power an oven, stove, and refrigerator, and you've got a big chunk of what is needed for comfortable living. Add a solar power system charging a few lead acid batteries, and LED lighting, and you've got your night-time light source. With a really large biomass digest-er and a sophisticated compressor system, one could fill tanks for powering a car or truck or tractor.

Re: [MBZ] Batteries
Just bought a used battery for my TD about two weeks ago. The local Upull had 6 big batteries with the audi symbol on them. I decided to give one a try at $60. Took out the 4 year old autozone gold that wouldn't start the car any more and lifted in the used one. First thing I noticed was that the 'new' used battery was about half again heavier then the AZ gold. So far even at the 24deg that it was here on Monday the battery didn't have any problem starting the car. I like it and at $60 I can buy two of them if this one fails in a couple of years, if they still continue to carry them.
