Capturing change
Published In: Intelligent Utility Magazine September/October 2009
AN THE UTILITY INDUSTRY EMBARKS ON THE JOURNEY toward a smart grid/intelligent utility, it will be well served to remember the old saying: ''If you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always gotten.'' New outputs, we all know, require new inputs. The transformation to an intelligent utility will not be made by repeating the management practices, measures and strategic initiatives that have carried the industry this far.
Contrary to what many think, utilities have been very good at change. Any business that survives for a century or more must be good at change. But, it is also important to note that utilities undertake changes to business processes differently from most other businesses. Their business is capital intensive, highly regulated and risk averse. In that environment, the approval process for any kind of transformative change is, by design and necessity, rigorous and unyielding. Transformative changes are closely scrutinized to help ensure that impacts to other parts of the business are understood and managed. If the risks can't be managed, utilities rarely move forward, which is one of the reasons service has been reliable and affordable for so many decades. In their unique operating environment, utilities manage the risks associated with transformative changes very well and we have been grateful for it.
With that backdrop, we must understand that the management and measurement processes utilized by utilities often presume that customers, regulators and utilities share the same interests in risk avoidance. While that has been largely true over the past several decades, we find ourselves in the midst of some dramatic changes on the regulatory and customer fronts. Customers and regulators now seem willing to accept more risk, and perhaps more initial costs, in exchange for more control and more efficiency down the road. In fact, the federal government is stepping forward with substantial amounts of money to fund portions of the transformative changes that are necessary to move toward an intelligent utility. Similarly, customer groups are also stepping forward with their own investments in distributed energy sources such as solar and wind. This evolving environment has created a situation in which management and measurement practices of the past are suddenly becoming less effective and utilities are forced to consider how to adapt.
Investments in the smart grid/intelligent utility space will require a higher degree of IT and business alignment than what has often occurred in the past. The transformative changes that accompany these investments will require a much higher degree of integration and interaction between business units, the various software systems utilized by them and the data and information that are generated, stored and utilized. Utilities will be well served to understand and, if necessary, improve the alignment between the business units and IT before investing in smart grid/intelligent utility technologies. In short, effective strategic and operational planning processes have never been more important.
Likewise, governance of technology investments will become paramount to an effective internal control system. IT systems are at the core of any effective control environment-as many companies discovered during implementation of controls related to Sarbanes-Oxley. The rise of the intelligent utility will coincide with an expansion in the use of IT systems to capture, integrate, utilize and preserve information from an expanding number of automated systems. Utilities will be mindful of the need to ensure proper security, access and use of these systems. They may elect to meet those needs through the implementation of a formal control framework such as the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) or the Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (COBIT) frameworks, or through the use of hybrid or ad hoc systems. Regardless of the solution deployed, there is little doubt that an effective control framework will increase in importance. It is better to evaluate and enhance the governance framework prior to making large investments in technology.
A proper planning and governance framework will help ensure that future automation initiatives are properly designed and that the architecture underlying them is adequate for current and future needs. Utility automation efforts of the past have, in many cases, been designed and architected as stand-alone solutions, or perhaps with a small degree of integration with adjacent systems. The automation efforts of the intelligent utility/smart grid space will not be as myopic. The intelligence within an intelligent utility comes from the way in which information is captured, shared, promulgated and utilized by various end users. The design and architecture, including the degree to which there is integration and interaction between the various systems, will be what makes that intelligence come alive.
Consider, for example, a meter data management (MDM) solution, which utilities are implementing with increasing frequency to capture interval consumption information. If that MDM solution is integrated with operations and energy supply, the information about customer consumption at periodic intervals throughout the day can be used to plan maintenance programs, ensure adequate energy supply and help gauge the effectiveness of demand side management programs. The ability to share that kind of information will depend greatly on the design and architecture of the MDM solution, as well the related systems within those business processes. With little doubt, it can become complex, which is why planning, governance and architecture are so critical.
CIOs have long been evaluated and measured based on benchmarks and comparative measures. These measurements are often heavily focused on costs, as opposed to value. Some high-level measures include IT costs as a percentage of company revenue, IT employees as a percentage of deployed meters and application costs per user. These measures help CIOs and companies understand how the cost of their IT services compare with other companies. Although valuable to a degree, these measures do little to help a company understand if, and how, their IT investments are helping to make the business more efficient and consumer friendly. In the changing political environment created by the movement toward an intelligent utility, it will become prudent for companies to deploy measures that get at the heart of what is important-namely, if the utility's investments in technology are meeting the goals of regulators, customers and investors/ owners.
Unlike prior comparative measures that focused heavily on cost comparison, the new measures will become increasingly focused on value. Some examples may include hard and soft dollar savings achieved, number of manual touch-points reduced, response times to unplanned events and a host of similar possibilities. Many companies have already started moving down this path with mixed degrees of success. In the intelligent utility environment, we consider it highly likely that regulators, customers and investors/owners will understand the value achieved for their investments. And that value, as we discussed earlier, will depend heavily on the quality of the planning, governance and architecture. Utilities that are not measuring value today may very well be encouraged to do so in the near future.
As investments in technology increase, the importance of properly servicing those investments after implementation will likewise be elevated. Identifying the right service measures and the right level of resources necessary to provide effective maintenance for these systems will be difficult, yet critical. Potential service disruptions due to IT outages may transcend simple ''annoyance'' and land squarely in ''critical.'' The more processes that depend on automation, the more important that automation becomes to meeting the needs of regulators, customers and investors/owners. Utilities will need to be careful to ensure that the right service metrics are in place and that proper resources have been committed to meeting those metrics.

A man who was captured on camera cashing in stolen lottery tickets has been busted.
Two weeks ago Greenville police released photos of the man who is accused of stealing $350 worth of tickets last month from the Trade Mart on North Greene Street. The photos were from the Sheetz just hours after the break-in as the man cashed in the winning tickets.
A CrimeStoppers tip led police to Bobby Ray Grizzard of Greenville. The 40-year-old man is charged with the February 2nd break-in and theft of the lottery tickets. He's being held in the Beaufort County jail.
Previous Story
Police are on the hunt for a man who stole hundreds of state lottery tickets.

VATICAN CITY — The cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church broke Europe's millennium-long stranglehold on the papacy and astonished the Catholic world Wednesday, electing Jesuit Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina as the 266th pope.
The choice, on the second day of deliberations by a papal conclave in the Sistine Chapel, opened a direct connection to the Southern Hemisphere at a critical juncture when secularism and competing faiths are depleting the church's ranks around the world and dysfunction is eroding its authority in Rome.
"The duty of the conclave was to appoint a bishop of Rome," said Bergoglio, 76, who took the name Francis, the first pope in history to do so. "And it seems to me that my brother cardinals went to fetch him at the end of the world. But here I am."
Bergoglio is widely thought to have been the runner-up in the 2005 conclave, which yielded Francis' predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI. Last month, Benedict became the first pope in nearly 600 years to resign.
Shortly after his election, Francis called Benedict, now known as pope emeritus, with whom he will meet Thursday. As the third consecutive non-Italian pope, after the Polish John Paul II and the German Benedict, Francis seems to have ended the era of Italian dominance of the papacy.
Francis, who will be officially installed in a Mass on Tuesday, is a pope of firsts — the first pope from the Americas, the first Jesuit and the first named Francis. His choice of the name, never before used in the church's 2,000-year history, signals to Vatican analysts that he wants a new beginning for the faith.
"It's a genius move," Marco Politi, a papal biographer and veteran Vatican watcher, said of the selection. "It's a non-Italian, non-European, not a man of the Roman government. It's an opening to the Third World, a moderate. By taking the name Francis, it means a completely new beginning."
Applause broke out in the Sistine Chapel for Bergoglio when he crossed the threshold of 77 votes, and again when he said "Accetto" — I accept — according to Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York, himself viewed as a possible contender for the throne.
"I'll stay down here"
Dolan told reporters that Bergoglio "immediately said, 'I choose the name Francis in honor of St. Francis of Assisi,' " referring to a rich man's son who took a vow of poverty.
After vesting in the white robes, the new pontiff looked at a white chair brought out for him on a platform and said, "Oh, I'll stay down here,' " Dolan said, adding that Francis eschewed a car and instead took a bus back to the hotel with the cardinals and delivered a toast before dinner: "May God forgive you."
"It's highly significant for what Francis means," Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said. "It means that he is here to serve."
Lombardi added that after weeks of focus on a Vatican scandal over the leaking of papal letters, and all the talk about who exercises power and authority in the church, the selection of the humble Jesuit, who used to take the bus and cook for himself, amounted to a "refusal of power" and "was absolutely radical."
But for many, it was Bergoglio's hemisphere of origin, home to the largest percentage of Catholics in the world, that was potentially the most important "first" for the future of the church.
Dolan said that the universality of the church was "accented in the choice of a Latin American," adding that the pope is sure to be received warmly when he visits South America.
"Can you imagine the welcome he'll get?" he asked.
"We know how longed-for this was by the Catholics in Latin America," Lombardi said. "This is a great response to this anticipation."
That reaction was palpable in St. Peter's Square as Bergoglio, after being introduced with an announcement of "habemus papam" — we have a pope — walked through crimson curtains to the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica to address the crowd. They greeted him with cheers of "Viva il papa!"
Clad in white and surrounded by cardinals dressed in scarlet, he blessed the faithful below him. Then, in a gesture that many interpreted as a greater embrace of dialogue, he asked the crowd to "pray for me, and we'll see each other soon." Finally, with avuncular simplicity, he bid the crowd, "Good night, and have a good rest."
In picking Bergoglio, the cardinals apparently felt that he was the most effective messenger to protect and propagate the faith among the 200 million Catholics in the lively religious marketplace of Latin America, where Pentecostal and evangelical competitors are rising.
Reaching out globally
His election reinforces the church's insistence that it is a truly global institution. During a ceremony to mark the appointment of Benedict's last batch of cardinals, none of whom hailed from Europe, members of the College of Cardinals repeatedly emphasized that universality.
In choosing Bergoglio, the cardinals opted against frontrunner Angelo Scola, who was considered an Italian echo of Benedict, and a handful of prelates from North America, including New York and Boston, who for the first time generated real buzz. But it did look across the Atlantic.
Now there is a question whether the bureaucracy that governs the church, many say badly, will reflect that internationalism or provide an Italian counterweight to it.
Although the church has increasingly staffed its bureaucracy with foreign department heads, true control over the Holy See's purse strings and power has rested with Europeans, most of whom are Italian. Bergoglio's outsider status sends a strong signal, analysts and insiders say, that change has finally come.
But the gentle Argentine will have his work cut out for him. Bergoglio doesn't have a reputation as a commanding manager.
On Sunday, the Rev. Thomas Rosica, a Vatican spokesman, bumped into Bergoglio as he was walking alone by Piazza Navona, wearing a simple black cassock.
"I want you to pray for me," he told Rosica. "I'm a little nervous right now."

Global Challenges/Chemistry Solutions
Global Challenges/Chemistry Solutions
Global Challenges/Chemistry Solutions is a series of podcasts describing some of the 21st century's most daunting problems, and how cutting-edge research in chemistry matters in the quest for solutions. Global Challenges is the centerpiece in an alliance on sustainability between ACS and the Royal Society of Chemistry. Global Challenges is a sweeping panorama of global challenges that includes dilemmas such as providing a hungry, thirsty world with ample supplies of safe food and clean water; developing alternatives to petroleum to fuel society; preserving the environment and assuring a sustainable future for our children and improving human health. During the 2011 global celebration of the International Year of Chemistry (IYC), Global Challenges/Chemistry Solutions also is focusing on the main themes of IYC — health, environment, energy and materials.
An especially interesting component of this series relates to "Household washing machines are a source of potentially harmful ocean microplastic pollution":
Scientists are reporting that household washing machines seem to be a major source of so-called "microplastic" pollution — bits of polyester and acrylic smaller than the head of a pin — that they now have detected on ocean shorelines worldwide. Their report describing this potentially harmful material appears in ACS' journal Environmental Science & Technology.
For more entertaining, informative science videos and podcasts from the ACS Office of Public Affairs, view Prized Science, Spellbound, Science Elements and Global Challenges/Chemistry Solutions.
The American Chemical Society is a nonprofit organization chartered by the U.S. Congress. With more than 163,000 members, ACS is the world's largest scientific society and a global leader in providing access to chemistry-related research through its multiple databases, peer-reviewed journals and scientific conferences. Its main offices are in Washington, D.C., and Columbus, Ohio.

Oil and gas drilling is under review by lawmakers in Colorado, where lawmakers typically defer to state regulators on how drilling should be regulated.
Two bills up for initial consideration Thursday have the potential to anger the powerful energy industry. The first bill would dramatically increase maximum daily fines for environmental infractions from $1,000 a day to $15,000 a day. The second bill would require that each oil and gas location be inspected at least once a year.
The bills are the first of a series of proposals aimed at reining in the state's powerful oil and gas industry. The energy industry believes regulation is better left to oil and gas regulators, not state lawmakers.

How to install MacPython-OS9 2.3 on your Macintosh
This is a MacPython that can run on Mac OS 8.6 with CarbonLib
installed, Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X. It is the direct successor of MacPython 2.2.
For Mac OS X users: you are probably better off with the normal unix distribution
of Python. That version also runs from the commandline, and if you do a framework
build it will contain all the functionality of this version too. A prebuilt
version will be available starting with the beta distributions.
If you are upgrading from a previous MacPython you should read :Misc:NEWS,
which lists the new features of this Python release. As of this release
the Mac-specific release notes have been moved to the "Mac" section of
the general NEWS file.
Two changes since 2.2 deserve special mention:
- Most Mac-specific modules have moved to :Lib:plat-mac. :Mac:Lib now contains
only modules that are not shared with MacPython-OSX 2.3.
- macfs is now a pure Python wrapper module around various modules in the
Carbon package. For 2.3a2 only this wrapping is incomplete: fsspec.SetDates()
does not work yet. If you encounter any other problems please report them.
If this is your first encounter with Python: you definitely need the
common user documentation (common to all platforms). You can find this
(in various forms) on www.pythonlabs.com, www.python.org and
ftp.python.org. Through there, or via
http://www.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython.html you can also find the most recent
MacPython distribution.
Mac-specific documentation is included in this distribution in folder
Mac:Demo. The documentation is sparse, but it will have to serve for
now. The documentation is in HTML format, start with index.html.
If you want a MacPython that runs on systems without Carbon support (8.1
up to 8.6 without CarbonLib) you should get MacPython 2.2.2.
If you want 68k support you will have get MacPython 1.5.2.
What to install
The optional parts in this distribution are
- PIL: the Python image manipulation package (allows you to read, write
and display images and do lots of operations on them). Tkinter is no
longer supported, a working Carbon version is Tk is not available.
- img: another imaging package. Has more file format support and is faster
than imaging, but has only limited operations on images. There is a bridge
between the packages.
- Numeric: the LLNL Numeric Python extension. All sorts of nifty operations
on matrices and such. This is version 22.
- Developers kit: all header files and some tools and sample projects
to get you started on writing Python extensions if you have CodeWarrior.
All these except the DevKit are installed with Easy Install.
After the installer finishes it automatically launches the
ConfigurePython applet, to finish configuration of your Python.
Moving your Python installation after installing is generally not a
good idea. If you have to do this anyway you should remove your
preference file, run ConfigurePython and remove all .pyc
files. (there's a script zappyc.py that does the latter).
If you don't have enough memory: the sizes choosen are somewhat
arbitrary, and they are as high as they are so that test.autotest runs
with fewer problems. An average Python program can make do with much
less memory. Try lowering the application sizes in the finder "get
info" window, and seeing whether the resulting python is still usable.
After installing
It is probably a good idea to run the automatic tests. Start
Python and "import test.regrtest ; test.regrtest.main()".
On MacOS 8.6 a number of tests will fail because FSRefs are not
test_socket and test_logging fail, this problem is being investigated.
test_tarfile fails, this problem is being investigated.
Three tests will fail on MacOS9 with MemoryErrors:
test_longexp, test_sha and test_zlib (on MacOSX these should pass).
If you increase the PythonInterpreter memory partition size they will
pass (but for longexp you have to increase it by an incredible amount,
400MB is rumoured). It will, however, print some messages about
optional features not supported. You should not worry about these,
they are modules that are supported by Python on other
platforms. Also, if you didn't run compileall before autotesting you
may run out of memory the first time you run the tests. test_socket
may also fail if you have no internet connection. Please also read the
Relnotes file for other minor problems with this distribution.
Using Python is most easily done from the IDE, which has a builtin
editor, debugger and other goodies. The alternative is to use
PythonInterpreter, which is the lowlevel interpreter with a
console-window only (similar to Unix Python).
If your program uses Tkinter you MUST run it under PythonInterpreter,
Tkinter and IDE are incompatible and your program will fail in strange
OSX Multiple users note
Interaction with Mac OS X multiple users has been tested only very lightly.
If you install as a privileged user everything installs fine.
If you install as a non-privileged user everything should install in your local
per-user folders. But: as there is no global PythonCore you can only run applets
if they reside in your toplevel Python folder.
If you install as a privileged user and then try to run
Python as another (non-privileged) user you may encounter a problem with
not having a preference file: the symptom is failing to import all sorts
of standard modules. If you remove your per-user Python preference files
(in ~/Library/Preferences) and then run PythonInterpreter once everything should
be fine.
Up to three items are installed in the MacOS 8 or 9 system folder: the interpreter
shared library PythonCore lives in the Extensions
folder and the "Python 2.3a2 Preferences" file in the Python subfolder
in the Preferences folder. All the rest of Python lives in the folder
you installed in.
On OSX the library is installed in /Library/CFMSupport. The ConfigurePython
applets will complain if you have no right to create the libraries there
(you need Admin privileges). This has one consequence: you will not be able to
run applets unless they reside in the MacPython folder (such as the IDE or
EditPythonPrefs). If you try to run an applet stored elsewhere you will
get a "Cannot locate PythonCore" error message.
Things to see
Start off at Mac:Demo:index.html. Read at least the first few sections.
There is also a first stab at documentation (plus examples) in the
Mac:Demo folder. The toplevel Demo folder has machine-independent demos.
The ":Mac:scripts" folder has some sample scripts. Some are useful,
some are just interesting to look at to see how various things
work. The MkDistr, mkapplet and fullbuild scripts (plus the ones
mentioned above) may help you to understand how to use AppleEvents and
various other toolboxes from python.
Other mac-specific goodies can be found in :Mac:Tools, of which the
IDE sources and a CGI framework deserve special mention.
The 'img' group of modules, which handles I/O of many different image
formats is included, but without documentation. You can find docs at
ftp://ftp.cwi.nl/pub/jack/python/img (or somewhere around there).
Finally there is a Mac:Contrib folder which contains some contributed
Upgrading from older Python releases
Python releases are independent of each other, with separate
Preferences files, shared library names, etc. The good news is that
this means you can keep your older version around if you are unsure
whether to upgrade. The bad news is that your old preference settings
are lost and you have to set them again.
After you are satisfied that 2.3a2 works as expected you can trash
anything in the system folder that has "python" in the name and not
The ConfigurePython applet will try to detect incompatible
preferences files and offer to remove them. This means that re-running
ConfigurePython after a second install of the same MacPython version
(or after moving the Python folder) should fix things up correctly.

I met this woman on the street after seeing the new documentary about Arthur Russell, "Wild Combination" (I highly recommend it). The thin orange lines in her windowpane pants, her orange sweater, scarf, blush, and even her hair are a wild combination in their own right.

Classic Couple
These two caught my eye with the simple ease of their looks, and what I really love about them is how well their style translates. Transplant them to Scotland, Poland, Arizona, or Chicago and they'd be just as convincing. When I complimented their style, they said "If you only knew how many people have stopped us and told us that over the years!".

Advanced Style maven "Madison Beehive" told us about "Koos", one of her favorite places to shop, so we headed over to check it out. We were lucky to meet Puck, the owner of the shop, who chatted with us for awhile about her older customers and the couture clothing they buy in her shop.
The boutique carries exclusive, one of a kind pieces designed by Koos van den Akker - a New York based designer known for designing Dr. Huxtable's sweaters on the Cosby Show in the 80's. Like the sweaters that made him famous, his couture clothing is known for its theme of bright color and pattern combinations. As Puck explained, his clothing is especially popular with older women who have had time to develop their style and look to this exclusive atelier for something special to add to their wardrobes.
For more about Koos and his design inspirations, check out koosnewyork.com, and stop by the shop at 1263 Madison Avenue in New York to see his work. Thank you, Puck, for your help, and thanks to Madison Beehive for telling us about the shop!

Madison Beehive
This woman's striking hair immediately caught my eye - the color and beehive updo look impeccable. Her style is simple peasant and urban chic all wrapped into one, and the straw shopping bag ties everything together. With the flowers in the background, she looks straight out of a Sunday morning European market scene; a good look.
Check out the above post for her shopping advice...

Lauren at Lunch
I was lucky enough to meet Lauren Hutton yesterday on my way to the West Village. She was about to sit down for a meal when I asked if I could have a photo of her. I've always admired the way that she mixes classic and tailored elements and at 64 her status as a style icon is still relevant today. Check Erika's Article for more photos of Hutton.

We just received these great photos from German actor Alexander Beyer. He promised to send more with some background information about the subjects, but for now we can marvel at the spectacular shots. He did mention that the top photo was taken in Rome 2008 and that the Ferrari belongs to the woman shown in the picture.

Listen To This
I found this great video while looking around on YouTube and found some background information on a site called Time Goes By. Ronni Bennett, the site author, explains:
"A group of about 40 elders, ranging in age from 78 to 99 and calling themselves The Zimmers, have recorded The Who's tune, My Generation, at the historic Abbey Road studio in London. The video is one of the latest hits on YouTube. Lead singer, 90-year-old Alf Caretta, told the BBC:
"I can't believe this is happening. For me to have recorded a song in the same studio as the Beatles is just so exciting. I feel like the whole experience has brought me back to life. I was stuck in a rut and now I feel alive again."Hope you all enjoy!

Stylish Sitter
I saw this guy on my way to meet up with a friend for lunch. I am always drawn in by people's hats and this fellow had a particularly beautiful one. If you take a look closer you can also see his heart printed suspenders. His wife asked me why I was taking his picture and I responded, " How could I not when he looks this good." He also told me that he has much better hats at home.Hopefully I'll catch him again with one of his grander head adornments.

Red Squares
What first drew me to this lady were her over sized green sunglasses and chic pinstriped pantsuit. When I looked more closely, I noticed two red squares stitched onto the right cuff of her pants. She was in a hurry to catch the bus, so I never did find out about the mysterious red symbols, but they definitely add some unique design to her look.

When we met Lucy, she was enjoying a conversation with friends on a park bench. When asked for her photo, she told us that it wasn't a problem; she gets asked for her photo all the time. Her only request was that we send a hard copy. When I asked about her style inspirations, she said she just wears what she wants to wear, she's not trying to follow any kind of fashion or style. Trying or not, she hits the mark.

Music Lady
Oftentimes Briana and I will see someone from afar and know that we just have to go up and talk to them. A big part of what we seek to do with this site is to expose the public to some of the city's hidden treasures. This woman is a piano teacher and she harmoniously plays different colors and patterns against each other. Her yellow headband is what really stood out to me, but once she started talking her awesome personality quickly stole the show.

Irene Williams: Queen of Lincoln Road
I was very excited when my friend Dusty told me about an incredible short film he thought I would love called, Irene Williams: Queen of Lincoln Road. In the short Eric Smith, a New yorker vacationing in South Beach, meets Irene Williams whose colorful handmade outfits immediately catch his eye. After approaching her and spending some time asking about her designs, they become quick friends. This friendship lasted nine years and many of their special moments, including a trip to the mall, going out to to tea and visiting Irene's hat filled apartment are captured on film.
I was extremely impressed with Irene's creative expression and the importance that her personal style played in her life.Look below for a clip from the movie and for more information check out the official website.

Bow Ties and Buttons
You may have noticed from photos of Ari that he is a big fan of bow ties. The paisley one, above, really works for this man. The broccoli pins on his lapels also make this a very special look (on the right is a broccoli floret with a face, and on the left, his pin states "Listen to Your Mom, Eat Your Vegetables"). Add well-groomed 'stache, ear-piercings, and hat, and you've got style.

Devilishly Chic
What do you call a union between a Tasmanian man and a French woman? Devilishly Chic. I was close to calling it a day as dusk fell on Union Square, when this magical couple floated by. I couldn't resist a photo and a chat with this interesting pair.
They both taught at CUNY for many years. She, being from France, taught French culture and literature. He is originally Tasmanian and taught botany there. As a sometime freelance writer, he could relate to my love of photography and writing, and advised me on the perils of such a career. Afterwards, he referred me to his website: spicesfiji.com.
Turns out, he is quite an accomplished man. Dr. Ronald Gatty, or "The Spice Man", is the father of Fiji's spice industry! He has a terrific personal history that you can check out on his website [click here], including his time spent exploring the south seas for medicinal plants, and that he's the son of the first man to fly an aeroplane around the world. So cool!
Gatty invented the original Spice Girls - the young ladies who hand-pollinate vanilla bean flowers in Fiji (above)
One last observation: You know those hip headbands that have come back in style lately? Look close. I'm pretty sure she pioneered that trend.

I can't think of another tribe that has so many skills. They are fast anyway, but even so you gave them a card that can slow the op down. I card revives them one takes away your def and others give them def while taking away attack! The general can hit for large hp units not even in range.
The counter to this is probably why we see so much big purple in the arena.
As I have said no one single card is to blame. So to balance this you are going to have to sort out quite a few of them.

This model has the nipple mounted on the outside of the barrel at the breech end. It uses a small percussion cap that has an explosive compound, which is used to ignite a gunpowder charge. The firing mechanism consists of the following parts:
Small lever on the firearm that, when pulled, releases the hammer.
Strikes the percussion cap, producing a spark.
A small metal tube that is tapered and screwed into the barrel. The percussion cap is pushed onto the nipple and is held on by tension.
The ramrod is used to push the bullet down a barrel until it is seated on top of the charge. It is also used to determine whether the firearm is loaded. On traditional muzzleloaders, the ramrod may be made of wood, whereas modern muzzleloaders will have a fiberglass or composite ramrod.
Convenient, easy way to store patches so they are accessible when needed.
Safety first! Black powder and its equivalent are extremely explosive! Do not handle near any open flame or embers in the immediate area.

A nice 6x24x44 scope and this rifle will cut holes at 50 yards with no problems. Stay clear of the Armada if you want consistent shots.Loves JSB's. Lightest rifle I have and good ergonomics. You might want to invest in a good scuba tank or compressor.
Pros:Best accuracy Ive seen for a 500 dollar gun.
Cons:Get a scuba tank.

Excellent value for this combo!
December 16, 2014
I purchased this Marauder combo in .177 cal. and performance of this rifle is great! I already owned a .25 cal. Marauder that was very accurate and was powerful enough to use for raccoon and groundhog hunting so I decided to buy another for smaller game. I have shot several different pellets through the .177 and it shoots best with heavy pellets in the 10.5 gr. range. JSB and Crosman domed work the best and they chrono at about 950 fps. shooting the rifle as it came from the factory. The Centerpoint scope is very clear and the illuminated reticle helps in low light conditions. It's hard to beat the Marauder for the price.
Pros:Accurate and quiet, made in the USA.

Best PCP period
September 27, 2014
I am amazed at the value of this rifle. It is an accurate shooter and has wonderful features. The tuning possibilities with this gun are its best selling point. Out of the box the rifle is very useable shot around 850 FPS for close to 30 good shots. Once you learn how to tune the rifle it only gets better. I read the A teams tuning guide and now get FT like velocities and better efficiency. 800 FPS and 55 shots. The fit and finish are excellent. I would definitely recommend this rifle.
Pros:Tuning Accuracy Fit and finish
Cons:None- buy one if you can!

This gun in this caliber (25) ROCKS!
July 9, 2014
I have two Marauders, the other one is a .22 and as much as I love that gun, this one is on it's way to being my favorite air rifle!! I have over 10 varieties of pellets and so far there isn't a one this gun does not group well!!!! Trigger break is excellent out of the box, and with a little tweaking of the hammer spring and air valve I hope to really get the most out of my air charge.
Pros:By and large, this gun is a hunter and well worth the money spent for an accurate and pellet friendly air rifle.
Cons:The bolt does drag a bit when cocking it after firing a shot, but I suspect with some buffing on the surface, and a bit of lube this should pass.

Scope mounts do not fit the Benjamin Marauder 22
June 3, 2014
When offering a bundle package (air rifle & scope) you'd think that the scope/mounts would be compatible with the corresponding air rifle it is being offered with. This does not. It was very disappointing to purchase a package and the scope mounts don't fit. The Benjamin Marauder 22 has a dove tail mount rail of a little over 11mm. The scope rings only go down to about 13mm or so. They are way too big to even think about fitting. So I had to order from another source and wait another week to even be able to use my rifle. Other than that - I'm happy so far with the performance of the rifle, but can't give a full feedback on accuracy/performance until I can actually see what I'm targeting.
Pros:fast shipping & good product, made in USA (air rifle)
Cons:Bought as a bundle (air rifle & scope) and the scope rings aren't compatible with the air rifle.

Happily Impressed
May 13, 2014
I bought this rifle as a package with the scope two magazines (clips) and an extra set of scope rings. The price point for the .25 cal rifle was at the cusp of my budget making me consider a smaller caliber but I went big anyway. Expect to spend an additional $300 on a good quality air pump for this Mrod. Upon un boxing I was pretty happy with the overall packaging of the product. It was well supported with the foam packing and sturdy shipping box First impression of the rifle was pleasing it felt good holding it. The weight is noticeable but not a deal breaker. It came with a 1000 psi pre-charge indicated by its on board nanometer allowing me to dry fire it and see how loud it was and was pretty impressed with it considering it had no pellet load. So sound quality checked good. Mounting the scope was a breeze. I used my bubble levels to make sure the rifle & scope both had as little cant as possible. The scope rings provided had a set screw that screw vertically into one of two pinhole on the rail to eliminate any slipping of the scope ring to which I thought was great considering the rails itself had no stops like a picatinny style rail. Definitely room for improvement on the rail. But functional. My pump hadn't arrived yet but I was eager to get a few rounds off at 25 yards to adjust & zero my scope. Thanks to my dive shop "Desert Divers" here in Tucson AZ they quickly got me up to 3k psi due to the rifles quick disconnect foster fitting it was easily done with no worry of any special tools. The Center Point scope adjusted quickly & held. Overall optical quality is good however the illumination lights up the entire inside of the scope tube instead of just the retical. The flip up dust covers are plastic nothing special but I'm glad they were provided although when focusing the scope you'll find the front flip up will change position in relation to where it flips open but what can you really expect from a $69 Walmart Scope. So scope checked average but useable. Shooting the rifle was unbelievable! Having used the Benjamin discovery as my first PcP (Pre charged Pneumatic) the trigger on the Marauder was smooth & almost effortless. The recoil was null to the point where you could follow your pellet through the scope never losing aim of your target. The accuracy is remarkable it's very consistent it hits right where you aim at!!!! boy does it pack a PUNCH! So shooting checks excellent! Loading the clip reads a bit funny in the manual but easily done. The bolt action & feed of the pellet is smooth and a very convenient way to load the rifle as opposed to a break barrel single feed. Shooting it I noticed a pinging noise but after some research I bought a "Depinger" and eliminated the after shot nuisance noise. Overall I am very impressed with this rifle's performance & kit price point after having used it in my opinion it's money well spent & you won't be disappointed.
Pros:Quality Accuracy Usability Performance Price
Cons:Rail could be improved but not necessary as the rifle has no recoil but perhaps for better aesthetic on the synthetic stock rifles. Scope accessories are sub par and illumination of the whole inside tube can get annoying but the scope itself is highly functional.

Very accurate gun for the money
April 20, 2014
After only a few shots to sight in scope. I was able to group 5 shots at 25 yards and cover with a dime; I never bothered to clean barrel. There was no need to. Now after only 200 shots it shoots dime size groups at 30 yards all day. Very accurate and the Scope bundled with is perfect . I hunt with air rifles and see no need to sight guns past 30 yards. But I do believe this will group very well after 30 yards. I have 4 Benjamin pcp rifles.... This rifle is the most fun to shoot. Hits very hard and hits exactly where you want it to. Very few flyers for some reason. I see no reason to buy anymore rifles, but I will because I am addicted... If you want to get a gun that is super accurate ... buy the marauder in 25 caliber.
Pros:I like the accuracy. I was shock it would shoot tight groups so soon. Scope bundled is great, I have my share of expensive scopes and find this cheaper one to work very well. Others I am sure will argue this point. But I am happy. Nice feel while shooting and trigger is perfect right out of box. I see no need to adjust or modify this gun at all... Very Happy.
Cons:Only complaint is that I wished they used a better grade of plastic for the stock. It is very adequate and works well, but the look and feel of the plastic seems cheap to me. I would like to have seen them us plastic that is on my Trail NP All Weather 22 rifle. This is not a deal breaker but for a 500 plus rifle I expected a better grade of plastic... I have the same issue with my Marauder pistol... great gun.. cheap plastic...but is very adequate to do the job.

I love this gun!
April 5, 2014
To start with I'll say again, I have loved this rifle. It has performed exceptionally well in my opinion. Granted this is my first PCP air rifle, but I had my doubts on it's capabilities. I'm an Infantryman in the US Army so I am no stranger to rifles and shooting. I'll start with my positive experiences first and then go over the negative last. So unboxing the rifle, I was very happy with the condition it arrived in. It was well supported and padded in it's box. I didn't have any problems with the way the product was packaged or shipped. I purchased the rifle in a package with the CenterPoint 4-16 x 40mm scope. I was a little skeptical on how it would perform due to my limited experience with their scopes at a much lower price point. This scope is awesome! It is clear, it's objective and zoom movements are very precise and smooth. The clarity of the scope has been exceptional. I have had no issues shooting in limited light, rain, smoke, etc. very pleased with the quality of the scope, and it has held it's zero even after being bumped around. I would buy this scope to put on another rifle no problem. Performance of the rifle has gone beyond what I had expected. Having limited experience with air rifles in general, and this being my first PCP air rifle, all I really had to go on was what I had seen in videos of their performance. I had never shot an air rifle chambered in anything other than .177 cal. Moving to the .25 caliber PCP has been nothing short of awe inspiring. At 25 yards it will pass completely through 1/2" plywood. At 25 yards with domed pellets I had two pass through on a 55 gallon steel barrel out of about 24 shots. For an air rifle, that really impressed me. I'm still learning the ballistics of this caliber and gun, but inside of 50 yards, I wouldn't hesitate to take on coyote sized game and smaller. This rifle really packs some punch. I really haven't found any of the half dozen different pellets I've tried that I wouldn't buy again to use with it. This life with any hunting is just a matter of matching the right ammunition, with the right weapon, at the right range. Very pleased with the performance and ease of use of this rifle. Very pleased customer. Like I said before, this is my first PCP. Going from a .177 break barrel, to a .25 PCP with a magazine has changed the air rifle experience for me. I love having 8 shots right in the gun when I'm out small game hunting. The PCP aspect is great by itself, but then adding a bolt action and magazine really changes the game. I probably won't ever buy another air rifle that doesn't have those two capabilities again after experiencing it first hand. The only issues I have had were probably user induced. One being the breach o-ring coming out a few times. I believe I have come to the conclusion in both instances where the breach o-ring ended up on the bolt instead of seated in it's groove was from firing without having the bolt seated all the way in the breach. Again, this was what I believe were user induced issues. I just inserted and re-seated the o-ring and went about my business. The only other issue I had was an air leak that was draining the reservoir at a pretty fast rate. I removed the stock from the action and checked some things, and tightened the air pressure gauge adapter into the air tube. No issues now, I can leave it fully charged for days and not have any discernible pressure drop. One more word on filling this rifle. I had read and seen some videos on using the hand pumps to fill these rifles up. I wasn't sure what to expect but really had no other options on filling other than the hand pump route. It was not nearly as hard to fill as other people made it seem. It takes a little time from completely empty to completely full, but it wasn't that bad. Now filling from 1200 to 3000 psi only takes a few minutes and some exercise. I still wouldn't mind getting a scuba tank, but for now this works just fine. If you want an air rifle to be impressed with that you have a hard time putting down, buy a Benjamin Marauder. I have zero buyers remorse. I am in love with this rifle.

Yard and Garden: Grape Harvest
AMES, Iowa — Home gardeners can successfully grow grapes in Iowa with a good planting site, hardy varieties (cultivars) and proper culture. Horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach share grape harvest time tips. To have additional question answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or email@example.com.
When should grapes be harvested?
Grapes should not be harvested until fully ripe. The best indicators of ripeness are color, size and flavor.
Depending on the cultivar, the berry color changes from green to blue, red or white as the grapes approach maturity. At the fully ripe stage, the natural bloom on the berries becomes more pronounced. However, color should not be the sole basis for harvesting grapes. Many cultivars change color long before the grapes are fully ripe.
Size and firmness are other useful indicators of ripeness. The individual berries should be full-sized. They also become slightly less firm to the touch at maturity.
The final and most reliable test for ripeness is flavor. Taste a few grapes when size and color indicate the fruit is approaching maturity. If they are not sweet, leave the clusters on the vines. Grapes do not develop full flavor when harvested before completely mature.
The berries in my grape clusters are not ripening evenly. Why?
Several factors could be responsible for the uneven ripening of the berries within a cluster. Possible causes are over-cropping (too many grape clusters on the vine), a potassium deficiency, moisture stress or 2,4-D damage.
Over-cropping is the most common cause for home gardeners. An average grapevine may have 200 to 300 buds that are capable of producing fruit. If grapevines are not pruned properly in late winter, the number of fruit clusters may be excessive. The vine is unable to ripen the large crop properly, resulting in uneven ripening of the berries within the clusters. In Iowa, 60 is the maximum number of buds that should remain on a grapevine after pruning.
What are the proper storage conditions for grapes?
Grapes can be stored for one to two months at a temperature of 32 to 36 degrees Fahrenheit and relative humidity of 90 to 95 percent. For most home gardeners, the refrigerator is the best grape storage location. Place grapes in perforated/vented plastic bags and store in the refrigerator.
How can I keep birds from eating my grapes?
The best way to prevent birds from eating the grape crop is to place netting over the grapevines. Netting can be purchased at garden centers or through mail-order companies. When placing netting over the grapevines, make sure the netting is secured to the ground to prevent birds from entering from below.

There's a new way to beat the heat in the Greenville.
The "Sprayground," as its known, opened Monday as part of Greenville's new "Dream Park."
The firefighter themed water park features hoses, water jets, fountains and a slide.
This theme was chosen since the "Sprayground" is beside one of Greenville's first fire stations and is close to the historic Minges drill tower, a 60-foot tower firefighters used for training for decades.
The "Dream Park" also features brand new traditional and nature-themed playgrounds as well as covered picnic areas and grills for cooking out.
The West Greenville park is located on Chestnut Street right next to the community shelter.
