Male Persian cat.  Long hair, gold eyes, very lovable.  Front paws are

Are you sure it's a "small" part, rather than just a "light" part?  I'll 
be depressed by a large volume of plastic garbage, even if it is called a
"small" part of the total garbage tonnage.  Earth doesn't have a weight

I found out today that I need to have a 40 ft tree removed
from my back yard.  The estimate given was $800.00 to cut down
the tree and an additional $180.00 to remove the stump. 


This sounds rather spendy to me.  Is there anybody out there
who has dealt with a similar situation, hopefully at a lesser
cost.

Needed:  Rooms in a house or a 2 bedroom Apt or a couple of studios

The 2 guys in the house next to me, are looking for another place to live.
Or 2 places to live.
I could not have asked for better neighbors.
Quiet, friendly without being intrusive, kept the place up beyond what 
was required. The owner of the house they are in has decided to move back
in and these two guys need a place.
SW or SE Portland would probably do the trick, hopefully popularly priced.
They are both fresh out of the Air Force, and don't have much money yet, so
low/ no deposit would appeal, or even the opportunity to pay in a deposit
over a short period of time.
They are also willing to "help out" or do work on a place, to help "male a deal"
Call Don or Rusty at (503) 520-1151 (Work)

E-mail to me will get to them, then again so will a phone call.

But Sunflower only takes #2 bottles and tubs, #4 lids only, #5 tubs, no
bottles, #6 tubs, no foam.

If you want to get rid of your #2 bags, marked and unmarked,
#4 bags, marked, unmarked, and garment, #5 bottles, #6 foam,
you have to go to at LEAST 3 other places.  And most of them limit
you to a shopping bag full at a time.  So don't try to save up a
year's worth and take it all in one efficient trip.  You have to use
at least 10 gallons of gas to drive around to all the places necessary
to get rid of the stuff.  Some places even charge you to let them take
it away and sell it.

One collector told me that he was into recycling as a customer service
to attract more customers.  It costs him $30k per year to have it hauled away.
His haulers are into recycling to make money.  No body is in the industry 
to save the earth.  That collector won't take unmarked bags.  If he sees
any he sends them to the dump.  I DOESN'T send them to the Walker Road
Fred Meyer that DOES take unmarked bags (but no other plastics).

The Oregonian has run feature articles about how wonderful the plastics
recycling industry in Portland is.  At the same time the collectors are
making is so difficult that though I've been trying very hard to recycle
everything possible, I'm about to give up.  It's all a farce.

Paper is a similar rediculous runaround.

I plan to organize an informal weekly computational geometry seminar series
starting this fall.  The purpose of this seminar is to solve problems in the
area of computational geometry.

I will start the seminar series by giving several lectures that present an
overview of the field of computational geometry.  Since the goal of the
seminar will be to solve problems, I will also talk about several open
problems in this field.  I would then like focus of the seminar to narrow to
the discussion of some these problems and some of the problems posed by the
participants.

The seminars will probably be held in the late afternoon or early evening.
The exact time and day will depend on those interested in attending.  We will
probably meet at Lewis and Clark College (other suggestions are welcome).


If you are interested in participating in such a series or have any questions,
please, please let me know.

What is computational geometry?  Here is a brief description based on a
description of computational geometry in "Multi-dimensional Searching and
Computational Geometry" by Kurt Mehlhorn.

   Computational geometry deals with the algorithmic aspects of geometrical
   problems.  The typical objects of plane computational geometry are points,
   lines and line segments, polygons, planar subdivisions (straight-line
   embeddings of planar graphs), and collections of these objects.  Typical
   questions  ask if objects (line-polygon, polygon-polygon) intersect, 
   in what region of a planar subdivision does a point lie, and what is a 
   decomposition of an object (e.g. polygon into triangles).  The 
   questions are motivated by  the widespread use of geometric objects in 
   computer graphics and computer aided design....

Do you need for some reason to have physical bodies present for the whole
seminar series?  I mean, I for one would think that this is precisely the
kind of thing that work work really well (70% of the time or so) if done
in say, pdx.compute.  That way, most of the time, we wont have to commute,
the material is more convenient, and we can concentrate on the material
more.  Of course somtimes participants would have to arrive in person for
some stuff, too.
