Microgrids introduce issues for utilities
Microgrids are gaining traction among large utility customers, and this is an exciting and fundamental advancement in the evolution toward smart grids. Companies have begun deploying microgrids to improve energy security, reduce energy costs and lower emissions and thanks to technology advancements, their deployments can be practical and economical.
Microgrids do create new issues for power engineers and utility managers who need to evaluate the impact of these systems on utility operations, however. The purpose of this article is to showcase some noteworthy microgrid advancements and highlight key issues utilities must keep in mind as they work with their customers to implement microgrid systems.
Some of the most exciting applications of microgrids are now taking place in the U.S. commercial shipping and ports industries, in response to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandates that these industries stop using diesel fuel to run in-port ship systems and port equipment. Ships and ports, in fact, have developed complementary microgrid strategies to meet these mandates and their strategies are producing important economic, energy security and environmental benefits.
For example, commercial ships are beginning to use land-based electric power while in port to run their shipboard air conditioning, refrigeration and other systems. The ports themselves are converting to electricity to supply their own energy needs and also support ships with electric power. Ports are finding that microgrids can meet these substantial electricity demands, ensure the security of the port's energy supplies during major storms and outages, and support their sustainability objectives.
Shipping operators are also identifying additional reasons to use microgrids. They're finding that shipboard microgrids can electrify ship services and motor-driven systems, provide more resilient electric supplies for refrigeration and guest needs, and also deliver excess electric power back to the port.
Other large utility customers throughout the country are also pursuing the energy security, sustainability and economic benefits that microgrids offer to their businesses and local markets.
For example, many hospitals and other large facilities in New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey are now considering installing microgrids. Their interest has grown out of their needs to provide energy continuity and security, which proved very vulnerable to flooding and widespread grid outages during Hurricane Sandy. As they consider back-up power, these businesses are realizing that it is also feasible to use renewable resources for their onsite generation and that they can sell their excess power back to the grid as well.
The U.S. Department of Defense, the world's largest electricity consumer, is pushing aggressively to deploy microgrids as part of its overall energy independence and energy security strategy. Its efforts are helping spur development of microgrid technologies and business models.
New renewable generation technologies, which have now become practical power supply options, are facilitating the increased interest in microgrids.
Photovoltaics and micro-wind turbines, for example, are technically proven and economically viable today. Also, combined heat and power technologies are more efficient, cleaner, and more reliable and gas prices are low, which encourages use of these systems for microgrid applications.
Thermal energy storage now provides a commercially viable and reliable distributed storage option to support microgrids that rely on intermittent renewable resources, such as wind and solar. And battery technologies for large, grid-scale storage deployments are now commercially viable for utility applications. Sodium sulfur batteries, for example, have gained wide use in Japan for substation applications and are undergoing pilot tests by some U.S. utilities deploying distributed generation.
Automated demand response (ADR) is another technology that is helping support the adoption of microgrids. Automated thermostat setbacks, lighting controls and controls that cycle end-use loads during peak periods are already offered in parts of the country. In wholesale, deregulated markets, ADR is becoming a valuable market participant. For facilities that are operating islanded microgrids, ADR will play an essential role in helping manage loads to make most efficient use of the microgrid's power generation and storage.
While technology advancements are facilitating business and utility microgrid implementations, the integration of distributed generation into a utility system is not a trivial matter and facility and utility experts need to proactively get involved to address emerging issues.
From the facility's point of view, engineers and planners must evaluate how the costs of microgrid technologies are changing over time and how exposed the facility might become to changing fuel and grid energy costs. If the facility is committed to an energy security strategy, it must consider how much storage will be needed onsite and its dependence on fuel supplies and deliveries. It must also anticipate changes in the power industry and environmental policies.
Utilities may need to be involved in customer implementations depending on the customer's use of utility assets, how the microgrid interacts with the electricity distribution system, utility regulations, and the customer's potential need to use utility rights-of-way. Utilities will have to evaluate these opportunities on a case-by-case basis while considering the needs of the microgrid, other customers on the grid and the opportunity to improve grid reliability.
As microgrids come online, utilities will need to pay attention to several operational issues. For example, interconnection standards are evolving and engineers must consider the impacts of these new standards when implementing distributed generation systems. Also, if microgrid penetration is significant, utility operations can be impacted either by reduced demand or by performance considerations, such as the voltage fluctuations caused by photovoltaic operations during changing solar conditions.
Finally, electricity market operators will need to get involved as microgrid demand response programs gain usage. Demand response is a valuable market resource, and the industry will need to consider the impact of these programs on the market and prices.

The yesterday's decision, to cut the required reserve ratio for liabilities in leu currency held by the banks from 20% to 18%, is effective from November 24 – December 23 2008.
BNR has not enforced a similar decision since July 8, 2005, when it decided to cut the required reserve ratio for liabilities in lei with falling due less than two years, from 18% to 16%.
In June 2006, National Bank of Romania raised the level of reserves for liabilities in lei, to 20% from 16%. However, required reserve ratio for liabilities in foreign currency was modified by National Bank of Romania in March 2006 when it climbed from 35% to 40%.
For liabilities in foreign currency, the banking regulator decided in the Thursday's session, October 30, 2008 to keep the benchmark threshold of required reserve ratio, at 40%.
As for benchmark lending rate, NBR board decided to keep it at 10.25% per year for the second successive month. In October 2007-August 2007, NBR raise the lending rate seven times in a row, adding 3.25% in this interval.
Analysts expected the national regulator to maintain the benchmark lending rate at 10.25% per year, but they did not exclude any possible raise, as a signal to mounting inflationary pressures, caused by the decisions to lift salaries and pensions.
As for minimum reserves for liabilities in lei, analysts said S&P's decision to cut the country rating reduced the odds that central bank would keep the rate.
BNR continues to manage liquidity in "an effort to provide a proper functioning of the inter-bank market" reads the press release issued by the institution.
In Thursday's session, BNR board analyzed and approved the new quarterly Report on inflation, which will be presented at a media briefing on November 3 and "assesses the recent macroeconomic context, analyzes outlooks on inflation and scans the prime challenges and constraints that the monetary policy is likely to experience in the forthcoming period".
The decision to cut the required reserve ratio for liabilities in lei pledges for improvement of liquidity management in the interbank market, in case of worse effects of financial crisis, to ensure a sustainable financing of the economy, NBR announced.
"The inflation target for 2008 is set at 3.8% with a tolerance band of +/-1%, and for 2009 is set at 3.5% within the same variation band.
BNR stressed that the disinflation process, wherein the annual inflation rate decreased to 7.3% in September 2008, from a 9.04% high registered in July, will continue, and the economic growth will be maintained at a high level, "supported both by investments' expansion and by the growth of consumption". In first half this year, Romania's economy advanced at a record pace of 8.8%.

Skin Cancer: When to Worry About Your Mole
Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer and can affect people of all ages. The biggest cause of skin cancer is prolonged exposure to strong sunshine, especially when the skin is unprotected by sun cream or clothing. Having a family history of skin cancer can also increase your risk, as can having fair skin, recurrent bouts of sunburn and a higher than average amount of moles on your body.
Most moles are nothing more than normal skin blemishes, caused by melanin in the skin. However, some moles can be an early warning sign of skin cancer. Early diagnosis is crucial for the successful treatment of skin cancer. Seek medical advice as soon as possible if you notice any of the following changes to your skin, as it could be an early warning sign of skin cancer.
New moles
New moles are always a cause for concern, especially if they are unusually large or look significantly different to other moles on your body. While the majority of new moles will be perfectly innocent, it is always best to get them checked out by a medical professional.
Changes to an existing mole
Changes to the colour of a mole should be reported to your doctor as soon as possible, as it could be an early warning sign of skin cancer. Changes to the size or thickness of a mole should also be reported, particularly if an existing mole starts to spread or thicken. Crusting or bleeding of a mole, changes in the texture of an existing mole or white spots on top of the mole could also be cause for concern.
Changes to the skin surrounding a mole
Changes to the skin surrounding a mole could also be a warning sign of skin cancer. Skin discolouration, white spots or redness of the skin surrounding a mole should be checked out by a medical professional. Other possible warning signs include soreness, itchiness, swelling, irritation and unusual sensations in the skin surrounding a mole. Unless there is a known reason for any of these symptoms, it is always best to check with your doctor.
Skin cancer can often be treated successfully, especially if it is caught early enough. Checking your body regularly for new moles or changes to existing moles is the best way to ensure early diagnosis of skin cancer. Report any changes to your doctor or medical health professional as soon aspossible.

The New Age: Hope for World Peace?
By Paul McGuire
Published April 3, 2008
I remember going to the Bodhi Tree Bookstore which is the famous New Age bookstore on Melrose Avenue popularized in Shirley Maclaine's television movie "Out On A Limb." I rented a video that dealt with the "Higher Consciousness Movement." The topic was world peace.
The video featured people like Baba Ram Dass, who was formerly Dr. Richard Alpert – Timothy Leary's assistant at Harvard; Barbara Marx Hubbard; Ken Keyes, Jr., who is the author of The Handbook to Higher Consciousness and The Hundredth Monkey; and Daniel Ellsberg, the peace activist whom former President Richard Nixon investigated during Watergate.
As I listened to these people talk, I couldn't help but hear their sincerity and passion for world peace – a passion that we all share. Yet, as they talked about developing a planetary consciousness and an end to nuclear weapons, I noted a fervency that religion engenders. I didn't particularly have a problem with that; I could appreciate their zeal for creating a world of understanding and harmony. But, the more I listened to them, the more it dawned upon me that these people had turned the corner somewhere in their thinking. They were attempting to build a kind of heaven on earth – without God.
Something haunted me in their words, and I believe it was the fact that they were attempting to build peace without the Prince of Peace and create love without the true source of love, which is the personal, living God of the universe. The peace activists talked of a planetary consciousness. They spoke of becoming one with the universe. This sounds legitimate until you stop to think that these efforts at building one world and global peace without God are somehow quite empty and shallow.
This was difficult to comprehend because these people were so kind and compassionate. On the human level they displayed a remarkable integrity.
Beloved do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; and that is the spirit of the anti-Christ, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. (1 John 4:1-3, NAS)
It is a difficult thing to grasp this concept. But, if we take what the Bible says seriously, then we must come to understand that there is a conflict between God and Satan happening right here on earth. If there is salvation in no one else besides Christ, then a real problem emerges when we discuss the teachings of the various gurus, human potential and higher consciousness movements, Eastern religions, meditation, planetary consciousness, and so on. In fact, things like Scientology, Est, Lifespring, and the whole gamut of pseudo-spiritual empowerment programs take on a new perspective.
It is not that these programs and religions cannot offer limited benefits and assist in the release of human potential. It is a real mistake to paint such things in either black or white. In addition, I have seen people who have emerged from these human potential movements with a real release of creativity and power in their lives. The danger is that ultimately the leaders of these groups become substitute Messiahs. Their teaching begins to depart from the Bible often producing bondage and slavery to incorrect doctrines. Finally, these movements can take on a real spirit of the Antichrist in that they are offering a kind of personal and planetary salvation apart from Jesus Christ.
Most of these groups offer some limited degree of good. But then they become counterfeit Gospels that lead people astray. Also, when these principles of "higher consciousness" or "enlightenment" teach that it is possible to build a kind of paradise on earth without Christ, they become dangerous and reminiscent of the serpent who promised Eve in the Garden that "they would be as gods."
Confessions of an Ex-Radical
There was a time when I shared the general consensus of our time and dreamed of what Beatle John Lennon wrote about in his song "Imagine There's No Heaven." His dream of a global unity appealed to me. I grew up in what could be termed a secular humanistic, but loving home. I was matured on the Sunday New York Times, art, culture, and political discussion.
For me, biblical Christianity was not even a viable option. I thought that all Christians were ignorant and superstitious. I believed this religion was blood stained, anti-sex, anti-joy, and anti-love. I thought psychologist Eric Fromn was right when he called Christianity a primitive religion, which invented for its own needs the concept of God the Father.
To me, Christianity was the Bible Belt and men wearing dark, three piece suits screaming hallelujah and dunking people in the river. When the sixties counterculture revolution took off, I joined in. At the age of fifteen I joined radical activist Abbie Hoffman in demonstrating and marching on Washington, D.C. In addition, I read Marcuse, Allen Ginsberg, Alan Watts, William Burroughs, Norman Mailer, and became thoroughly radical.
I spent my free time in high school hanging out in New York's East Village and joining YIPPIE and the Youth International Party. I experienced the counterculture revolution on New York's lower east side. I can remember going to see the Jefferson Airplane and Grateful Dead and Bill Graham's Fillmore East and listening to Timothy Leary on St. Mark's Place.
The 1960s and 70s created a literal explosion of thought and action. It was a time of deep soul searching, sexual experimentation, and spiritual searching. What fueled the sixties was a deep, spiritual hunger reflected in the poetry of men like Gregory Corso and best-selling novelist of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Ken Kesey. The middle class church consisting of neatly dressed men and women sitting in pews looking like participants in Tricia Nixon's wedding were not match for the raw spiritual hunger and pure rebellion of the period.
I too surveyed American middle class Christianity with its churchianity, its boredom, and lack of legitimate miracles. I ran to the gurus like Baba Ram Dass and Stephen Gaskin, founder of the Farm. It wasn't until fleeing a middle class Christian religious retreat on the back roads of Missouri (hitchhiking) that I had a miraculous encounter with the Person of Jesus Christ. It changed my life forever, and I realized that Jesus Christ was God and not some plastic statue plopped on a dashboard of a Chevrolet.
Until then, I was militantly opposed to Christianity and wanted to see a global revolution of consciousness that would usher in a new world order. It was only after accepting Jesus Christ, and understanding that Christianity was Truth and not a religion, that I began to understand that there was indeed a great cosmic battle occurring on plant Earth. A battle between good and evil or God and the devil and that political, spiritual, and even economic ideologies were direct expressions of this battle.
Once I entered into a personal relationship with the personal, living God of the universe, I understood that history was not just a random collection of events. There was a definite plot with many sub-plots. I understood that the major plot concerned man as a fallen creature. Jesus Christ came to redeem mankind. He shed His blood for the forgiveness of sins. Until that point I did not even believe in the concept of sin. To me, sin was some archaic concept. It was a relic from an ancient belief system. After accepting Jesus Christ, I felt and experienced an acute awareness of my sinfulness as well as the release of the spiritual, psychological, and soulish manifestations and bondages that this sin creates in the human personality.
Who is God?
Christians, Jews, Muslims, Mormons, Hindus, Buddhists, and other mystics believe in a concept of God. The big question is, "Who is God?" If he exists, "What is He like?" and "What is God's character?" It is somewhat strange to me that as a culture we do not publicly ask ourselves this question. There are no television specials on God's existence. I think our cultural silence about God demonstrates our collective fear of Him. Sex is no longer the great taboo in our culture, God is. You can talk about any sexual act on television in pornographic detail. However, if you talk about God in any serious manner, you will be kicked off most television shows. If God did not exist, then why would people spend so much energy trying to push Him out of existence?
The reason militant atheists and groups like the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) are trying to eradicate manger scenes and any references to God and religion in our culture is because they are reacting to God's existence in the first place. The ACLU and other groups that hate Christianity know deep within themselves that God does exist. God exists and God has a character and definition. God is called the personal, living God of the universe because, like the men and women He created in His image, God has a distinct character and personality. If we were to describe God's personality, we would use the words love, righteousness, creative, and holy.
Unlike the Eastern mystical or New Age view, God is not "perfect nothingness," "consciousness," "non-personal energy," nor is God the collective product of our imaginations. God is not non-personal as the mystics, Hindus, and New Age people believe. God revealed the essence of His personality to the human race when He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to planet Earth. Here we see God's character revealed.
The King of the universe temporarily discarded His royal stature to walk and talk to men in the form of a man – Jesus Christ. God showed us what He was like in Jesus Christ who was loving, humble, compassionate. He raised the dead and cast out demons. Jesus Christ obediently went to the cross and died for the sins of all mankind. Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead and broke the power of sin and death over the entire human race.
The personal, living God of the universe came to us as the Son of God – Jesus Christ – the Savior of mankind. Thus, we can see that the real God is a God of absolute love and that He loves each one of us on a personal level. The infinite God of the universe knows you personally and wants to embrace you with His arms. God wants to free you and remove your frustrations, bitterness, and disappointments. When we talk about Jesus Christ as Savior, this is what we mean. We are not talking about Jesus Christ as the Savior in religious terms. True biblical Christianity is about an intimate one- on-one relationship with Jesus Christ. Believers in Jesus Christ are those people who share a common friend in Jesus Christ. They are people who know God and walk with God on a personal level.
Who is God? All that we can know about God is wrapped up in the person of Jesus Christ. Personally, I think it is tremendously liberating to know that each of us is not alone in the universe or in this world. There is no problem too great for God. The incredible news is that we are not in this world alone. It is not "us against the world." If we understand what is real, we can know that once we accept Jesus Christ into our lives by faith, we can walk with the personal living God of the universe through all our problems and share all our joys and victories with Him.

Why Creeds and Confessions? (Book)
High Quality Paperback — 219 pages
Foundations in Biblical Orthodoxy
Driving down a country road sometime, you might see a church with a sign proudly proclaiming: "No book but the Bible — No creed but Christ." The problem with this statement is that the word creed (from the Latin: credo) simply means "belief." All Christians have beliefs, regardless of whether they are written.
Yet a single book containing the actual texts of the most important creeds of the early Church will not often be found. Out of the multitude of works on the evangelical Christian book market today, those dealing with the creeds of the Church are scarce.
Why Creeds and Confessions? provides a foundation of biblical orthodoxy as a defense against the false and truly heretical doctrines advanced by the spirit of this age.

Freedom: The Model of Christian Liberty (DVD)
"Give me liberty or give me death!"
Patrick Henry's famous declaration not only helped launch the War for Independence, it also perfectly summarized the mindset that gave birth to, and sustained, the unprecedented experiment in Christian liberty that was America.
The freedom our Founders envisioned was not freedom from suffering, want, or hard work. Nor was it freedom to indulge every appetite or whim without restraint—that would merely be servitude to a different master. No, the Founders' passion was to live free before God, unfettered by the chains of autocracy, shackles that slowly but inexorably bind men when the governments they fashion fail to recognize and uphold freedom's singular, foundational truth: that all men are created in the image of God, and are thereby co-equally endowed with the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
This presentation is a similar call, not to one but many. By reintroducing the principles of freedom that gave birth to America, it is our prayer that Jesus, the true and only ruler over the nations, will once again be our acknowledged Sovereign, that we may again know and exult in the great truth that "where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty" (2 Cor. 3:17).
Welcome to the Second American Revolution!
This DVD features "Liberty: The Model of Christian Liberty" along with "Dawn's Early Light: A Brief History of America's Christian Foundations."

Nationally recognized speakers headline Experts and Authors Series in March
The Office of Curriculum, Instruction and Professional Development Experts and Authors Series features two nationally recognized speakers in March.
· On Tuesday, March 14, Dr. Elizabeth City, director of the Doctor of Education Leadership (Ed.L.D.) Program at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, presents Improving Teaching and Learning Through Collaborative Practice. Dr. City will use two practices of improvement – instructional rounds and Data Wise – to help attendees improve learning and teaching through collaborative practice. Attendees will also learn how to focus on what matters most and help their organizations and the people in it carry out their intentions and learn from that. The expectation is that attendees leave with an understanding of instructional rounds and Data Wise as well as some experience with the building blocks of these practices, including use of evidence and tasks in addition to some assessment of where your organization is with doing inquiry-driven improvement. Attendees will also leave with some tools for improving an underutilized lever of improvement: meetings.
Dr. City's presentation will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Italian American Community Center, 150 Frank DiMino Way, Rochester 14624. The cost is $175 per person. Click here to register.
· On Wednesday, March 15, Dr. Matthew Seebaum, senior director – human capital & leadership at McREL International, presents Balanced Leadership for Powerful Learning. Learn about the following three roles leaders must balance to be effective.
§ Visionary strategies (providing a clear focus for improvement efforts)
§ Optimistic change agents (overcoming resistance to change by inspiring others to believe better outcomes are possible)
§ Purpose-driven team builders (developing strong communities where people share goals and an abiding sense of purpose)
Dr. Seebaum's presentation will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the WEMOCO Building, Conference Room A/B. The cost is $166 per person. Click here to register.

My 93 FZR 400 RR runs on the stand but loses power and 'conks out' when in gear and ridden.
The power loss increases and it feels like its starved of fuel. eventually full throttle only achieves what appears to be the 'old pre ignition' when engines stutter when turned off.
leave it for a short while start it up and it turns over and revs very high. can get flames from tail pipe.
pup in gear and it starts to conk out almost immediately.
stuff done includes:
- Carbs serviced and all jets as per the manual
- checked exup valve which is free to rotate, tried the bike with exup open and same result.
- new plugs,
- with and without airfilter same outcome.
- coils are as per manual tolerances on electrical resistances.
Have bought new CDI to see what could be the problem.
my view is that the engine may run with weak spark off load but not when on load
if not the CDI then what could this be?

Good Points
Battery Life, Style, Screen Quality, Features
Bad Points
Springy Battery, Camera
General Comments
I have had the Sony Ericsson T300 for a month now and I easily get fed up of phones. This one i haven't. The features are endless and even if you are bored of the current applications, it is simple to download new ones. The style of the phone is very nice. Being a retro style. The only problem i had was that it gets scratched very easily so make sure you keep it in a cover. A good point is the screen quality. If you are very technical about phones, you will realise that the phone has less screen colours than most Nokia's for example. It has 256 colours whereas the most common is 4096. I had a Nokia 3510i before this phone. I don't notice the difference in the screen quality. The games on this phone are terrific. There is Erix, Space Invaders, Black Jack and Mini Golf. They all give a good representation of the screen quality. Polyphonic ringtones on the whole are on the hole, quieter than monophonic ringtones. The T300 takes these sounds to a whole new level by giving it a louder ring. The joystick gives fantastic mobility throughout the phones's menus. Above all these good points, there are two bad points. 1. The joystick can be hard to get used to and complicated to use when you first get the phone. 2. The battery has a slight slight spring to it. This has been a common problem and is a fault, it isn't supposed to be like it. Rather than fitting snugly, it pushes the back cover out ever so slightly. If the problem occurs, return the phone. All in all, the T300 is a fantastic phone and is far better than any of the Nokias.

The word pirate might evoke the image of eye patches, skulls and crossbones and chests of gold, but in California history it's quite a different story, as told on this vintage-styled tee. The screenprinted design is an ode to the late 19th century practice of oyster farming in the San Francisco bay, and the public's opposition of the practice. Often considered local folk heroes, the Oyster pirates would raid the shallow beds at night and sell their take at market the next morning.

Irish born Barry Fitzgerald has over 20 years experience within the world of the paranormal which has taken him to new levels of intrigue and mystery. Appearing on Ghost Hunters International and heading a team on the American SyFy network he explored and investigated many paranormal and supernatural phenomenon the world over. This progression lead to an authoring of books on subjects within the paranormal field from the influence the subject matter has on those that work in it, to mysterious happening's and bizarre disappearances right under our feet in 'The Mist of Gods'. He opened a gallery exhibition of his photography work in Lvivin within the Ukraine in 2011 which displayed the beauty at night unseen by the naked eye and highlighted the nature of the supernatural world.
Barry Fitzgerald
Barry's new line of research has taken him out of his comfort zone and into areas of Irish myth and legend to explore the world of the Sidhe/Fairy. His new book 'Banshee' is a collection of modern encounters with this legend which lefts the bizarre screaming fairy lady from the realms of myth and into reality. His latest eBook project exams the history of the Sidhe and their kin from all over the world and lifts the veil of glamour used by such entities to reveal a very different picture, a picture which may unsettle our very senses.
Barry is pursuing the production of new documentaries and in 2015, this progression has led him on a path of discovery not only within his own land of Ireland but around the world uncovering similarities in ancient design and faiths which stem from a belief in a doorway to worlds beyond our senses, doorways which we are now beginning to understand and getting ready to open once again. His first novel 'The Council of Three' will be ready for release in early 2015 and he will continue working with his co-author Cormac Strain with Legend Seekers which is a book series and proposed TV show that explores and re vitalizes the legends and myths of Ireland, some old and some surprisingly not so old.
Barry's book IN THE MIST OF GODS will be re-published by Glannant Ty on June 1st, 2016.

MIAMI (AP) — Edinson Volquez admits he was "tired" toward the second half of last season. That attributed to his bloated 5.37 ERA, he said.
The 33-year-old right-hander, fresh off completing his $22 million, two-year contract with the Miami Marlins, assured everyone Friday that he is now rested and ready to go.
"I pitched a lot of innings the year before," Volquez said in Spanish, referring to the 200 1/3 innings he threw for the World Series champion Kansas City Royals in 2015, when he went 13-9 with a 3.55 ERA. "By June and July (of 2016), I was tired."
Volquez, who has made more than 30 starts in each of the past four years, was 10-11 last season.

Volquez joins a rotation shaken by the loss of ace Jose Fernandez, who died in a boating accident a week before the end of the regular season in September.
"It's hard to believe," Volquez said. "I was with the Royals when it happened. A lot of us were crying.
"My dad passed away in 2015, so I know what his family is going through," he said.
Volquez said he doesn't view himself as a replacement for Fernandez in the Marlins' rotation.
"Jose's death was a sad moment for MLB," he said. "He was a great pitcher, and he was only 24. But I don't want to be Jose. I want to be me."
An All-Star in 2008 with Cincinnati, Volquez is 89-79 in 12 major league seasons. He became a free agent this month when he declined his mutual option with the Royals.
Volquez said he has lived in Miami for three years, and he told his agent that becoming a member of the Marlins was his top priority in free agency.
"I've liked the Marlins team for a long time," Volquez said. "I know a lot of the guys here like Martin Prado, Dee Gordon and Marcell Ozuna. Fitting in to this clubhouse won't be a problem."
Marlins general manager Michael Hill said he was "excited" to get Volquez.
"He's a World Series champion and an All-Star," Hill said. "He will fit in perfectly with our inventory. But we are not done yet. We want to add to our pitching depth."
Volquez, a native of the Dominican Republic, should also be a good fit in the Miami community with its large Hispanic population.
Marlins Park was another fit, Volquez said.
"I love this park," Volquez said with a huge smile. "It's a big ballpark, and that's important for me, especially as I get older."

Getting ahead. That's what Florida State baseball's recruiting efforts are all about right now.
And Sean Reid-Foley (Jacksonville, Fla./Sandalwood), a 2014 hard-throwing right-handed pitcher, added his name to the commitment list on Saturday night continuing their success.
"I am pretty happy about," he said, "It just felt like the place to be, so that is why I chose that.
"The thing I liked about it was probably just the campus that they have. It is beautiful and the facilities that they have."
The 6-foot-3, 200-pound high school ace revs up to about 91 MPH on the radar gun. The excitement and response of the Seminoles' coaches, then, was not a surprise.
"They were pretty stoked about it," he said of the FSU coaches. "They were pretty happy."
What was, however, was the insistence of Reid-Foley's parents to make the decision that he had already come to.
"My parents told me that I should have done it. I mean, I was going to do it probably, but they made it kind of official. That kind of helped, too."
With offers from just about everyone in the region, Reid-Foley was thought of highly among college recruiters and scouts. Now that he's committed to Florida State, it isn't likely Reid-Foley will change.
He says his bond to the school is a strong one.
"I am probably going to just stick with Florida State. I don't really feel the need to go anywhere else."


text: I've always loved smoked cheese! Ever since I learned how to make delicious hot smoked foods I swore hell or high water I'll figure out this cold smoking method when the weather cooled down. So this fall I embark on a journey into cold smoking. While trying to modify my smoke-vault for cold smoking, I figured I should put something in on the maiden voyage since the temps were staying stable. Batch 1 9/23/16: Winco bulk Pepper Jack, cut into small blocks for taking backpacking. Max temp 72 degrees before putting a fan on the ducting. Smoked with charcoal and apple wood in the remote bbq. Batch 2 10/1: 5lbs of First Street Pepper Jack, and 5lbs of First Street Sharp Cheddar. Max temp was 64 degrees, with a 59 degree ambient temp. I pulled a couple blocks of cheese at 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours and 5 hours to see how long we like our cheeses smoked for. On this run I added a 4" duct fan with a rheostat to keep the smoke moving when the wind picked up, and I decided to leave it going since the smoke was smelling "clean." Batch 3 10/2: Cause why waste cold smoke when the bacon doesn't take up that much room? Smoked Feta just sounded delicious, and with my large Greek side of the family I figured they would appreciate some. 2lbs of Feta cut into small blocks. 64 degree high temp, with an upper 50's ambient temp high. The smoke was pretty clean on the last 2 after adding the exhaust fan, and the cheese was edible shortly after removing from the smoker, and progressively is getting smoother and smoother. The first trial batch took 4 to 6 days to start calming down to be palatable. Most of it will rest for quite awhile before consumption, but I can't help myself and the scientist in me requires a daily testing regimen. I don't have any really good finished product pictures, so I'll try to get some soon. Maybe a few shots this weekend while we are backpacking in the rain and making some burritos and wraps... The cheese didn't get really brown, just a very very slightly darker color. I know my wife is now pushing to speed up a purchase of a second garage fridge/freezer to with the upright freezer! Not being able to put our work lunches in since at one point there was 9lbs of bacon resting, 20lbs of pork butts till we finally ground them into sausage this week, 18lbs of blackberries thawing for a Blackberry Melomel, and a growing pile of cheese! There was excitement when the Breakfast sausage and patties were ground up 2 days ago and made it into the freezer. So I need to get a bigger fridge and do some more cheese! Beechers Flagship, Havarti and that Yancey's Fancy Horseradish cheeses could be delicious! Time to start trolling the Costco cheese isles.

✏ Albert-Laszlo Barabasi: Bursts: The Hidden Pattern Behind Everything We Do
✏ Gregory Benford: Foundation and Fear (reread on Dec 31st.)
Screenshot; I'm impressed by how careful Prof. Benford is to make sure that none of his personal feelings about being an academic in America comes across in his SciFi writing. The Foundation series is a good illustration of the preachiness and neoteny of most science fiction; it's mostly amateur sociology with minimal exploration of the real changes that technology creates. As a former aficionado, I have some residual interest in the genre, but you bet better futurism from A McKinsey or Bain conjectural report than from most SciFi, even Cyberpunk.✏ Gregory Benford and Larry Niven: Bowl of Heaven
The only new sci-fi book I read this year. Hard sci-fi took a hit after 2000, when some authors decided to join the culture wars and write metaphors for the american political system.✏ David Brin: Earth (reread)
In July I decided to reduce the amount of stuff I owned, so I replaced a number of paper books with electronic copies. This led to an assessment of which scifi books I wanted to reread. Earth was one of them, Brin's best book in my opinion. Some of the other scifi books to get replaced by eBooks are mentioned below. In the end, I donated or recycled almost two thousand paper books.✏ Sean Carroll: The Particle at the End of the Universe: How the Hunt for the Higgs Boson Leads Us to the Edge of a New World
✏ Phillip Dennis Cate et alli: Impressionists on the Water (FAMSF Exhibition Catalog)
✏ Arthur C Clarke: Childhood's End (reread)
✏ Daniel Dennett: Intuition Pumps and Other Tools for Thinking
✏ Edward Dolnick: The Forger's Spell
Few things describe the arts world as precisely as the end of chapter 11: "Van Meegeren fooled the world with a seventeenth-century painting made of plastic."✏ Niall Ferguson: Civilization: The West and the Rest
✏ Niall Ferguson: The Great Degeneration
Like Civilization, you can get most of the content of the book from Niall Ferguson's talks. But I wanted the notes and details so I read the books.✏ Seth Godin: The Icarus Deception
✏ Rose-Marie Hagen and Ranier Hagen: Masterpieces in Detail (Art book)
✏ Chip Heath and Dan Heath: Decisive: How to Make Better Choices in Life and Work
✏ Robert Heinlein: The Cat Who Walks Through Walls (reread)
✏ Daniel Kahneman: Thinking Fast and Slow (reread)
✏ Walter Lewin: For the Love of Physics
As autobiographies of scientists go, this one is more educative than the Feynman pair (Surely you jest, Mr Feynman and What do you care what other people think?). Lewin is a superstar Physics professor from MIT, who would be the first to say that students learn Physics only when they solve the problem sets, not in the lectures. Screenshot.✏ William Manchester and Paul Reid: The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill: Defender of the Realm, 1940-1965
Vol. III of Manchester's biography of Churchill, written by Reid based on Manchester's notes. Hard on the French. Read in one day plus two evenings. 1200 pages, but the last 130 are notes and references.✏ Michael Moss: Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us
✏ Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle: Lucifer's Hammer (reread)
One of my favorite sci-fi books (and the only Pournelle to make my top 10). I reread parts of it often (notes and highlights help). I bought it 5 times in different languages and formats.✏ Donald Norman: The Design of Everyday Things: Revised and Expanded Edition (added Dec 25)
There are enough changes from the previous edition to merit purchasing it anew, but in my case I get the added benefit of moving from a paper edition to a Kindle book, reducing the need for physical storage space. Subsumes Living With Complexity as well.✏ Iain Pears: The Bernini Bust (reread)
✏ Iain Pears: The Titian Committee (reread)
✏ Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman: Good Omens (reread)
✏ Mark Sisson: The Primal Blueprint
Good book, though I wouldn't want to give up resistant starch altogether and the high-impact exercise recommendation is better ignored. But worth reading as motivation for life changes.✏ Benn Steil: The Battle of Bretton Woods: John Maynard Keynes, Harry Dexter White, and the Making of a New World Order
Neal Stephenson: Anathem (reread)
Reread for the 10th or 20th time, despite being over 1000 pages long (read it in one very long reading marathon when it came out); possibly Stephenson's best book. Screenshot.✏ Nassim Nicholas Taleb: Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder
Best non-fiction book I read in 2013. I think I'll be rereading my highlights and notes for years to come. Sometimes NNT's style may be a little over the top, but the substance is worth it.✏ Barbara Tuchman: The Guns of August (reread on Remembrance Day; screenshot)
✏ Barbara Tuchman: The March of Folly
✏ Mark Twain: The Innocents Abroad
Mark Twain takes on tourism, Americans, and foreigners. For some reason I had never read it before. It's available for free, since it predates the✏ Lea Van Der Vinde et alli: Girl with a Pearl Earring: Dutch Paintings from the Mauritshuis (FAMSF Exhibit Catalog)

✏ Ingo Walther and Norbert Wolf: Masterpieces of Illumination: The World's Most Famous Manuscripts 400 To 1600 (Art book)
✏ Evelyn Waugh: Brideshead Revisited (reread)
It's a book about class, friendship, religion, and growing up. The movie was a distortion of the book as bad as Starship Troopers was of the Heinlein original; the ITV series was acceptable, but the writing itself is a major part of the value of the book, and cannot be appreciated from video.✏ Evelyn Waugh: Sword of Honor (reread)
✏ Evelyn Waugh: Vile Bodies (reread)
✏ P.G. Wodehouse: Big Money (reread)
✏ P.G. Wodehouse: Carry On Jeeves (reread)
✏ P.G. Wodehouse: The Code of the Woosters (reread, for the 20th time or so...)
✏ P.G. Wodehouse: A Man of Means
Found a Wodehouse I hadn't read before. The year was worth it. Huzzah!✏ P.G. Wodehouse: Mulliner Nights (reread)
✏ William Zinsser: On Writing Well (reread)
Best book on writing ever, IMNSHO. I reread parts of it often; read the whole book at least once a year; and reread my notes about it before starting any writing project. Technically it's a work book for me, but I like to read it for pleasure as well.
The secret to reading this many books: watching very little television. Most of these books take only a few hours to read (though some may take a lot more), so an evening or two without television is enough to read a book. By that metric, I read a lot less than my potential, and that's not considering the multitasking afforded by audiobooks during walks or repetitive exercise like Concept II rowing.

Burbank Housing Corporation (BHC) owns several affordable housing properties in five focus neighborhoods in the City of Burbank. BHC operates a waiting list system to fill all of its vacancies. Our Affordable Housing Program has fixed rent rates and tenants are responsible for paying their monthly rent in its entirely. The BHC Waiting List applies to ALL of our rental units in our permanent housing properties.
Due to the high demand for our Affordable Housing Program, there are no available apartments at this time. Please keep in mind that BHC's Affordable Housing Program is NOT a form of immediate or emergency housing.
BHC's Affordable Housing Program has four waiting lists that are categorized by income. The income and rent requirements are established by the State of California for Los Angeles County. Your household's income category is based on the household size and total gross annual income.
Learn what income category your household qualifies for: CLICK HERE

Interested applicants must first apply for the BHC Waiting List to enter our Affordable Housing Program.

When the BHC Waiting Lists are filled to capacity, the BHC office will close the waiting list. Waiting list applications are not available when the list is closed. To determine if a waiting list will reopen in the following year, BHC conducts an annual audit of the waiting list. Every year, BHC prepares a waiting list update to inform interested applicants about upcoming waiting list openings. Our annual waiting list updates include important deadlines and instructions. Please keep in mind that a waiting list may remain closed until further notice.

Ever tried arancini before? These little rice balls are made with risotto bianco, filled with mozzarella cheese and then fried in vegetables oil. Some make them with leftover risotto but some (us as well) make risotto bianco only to prepare these little treats. You can prepare basic risotto bianco or add some herbs and spices to make it more special. Plus you can always switch the mozzarella cheese with any other cheese, ham, prosciutto, mushrooms or other filling you like. These are great served with light salad or as a starter. They are easy to make + the combination of creamy risotto bianco, melting cheese and crispy breadcrumb coating is just incredible - so good. We definitely recommend making this Italian treat - it's beyond delicious.

The wand may choose the wizard, but you can choose from a variety of replica and toy Harry Potter wands. Wands are readily available on eBay. Before you head down Diagon Alley, learn about the types of wands available. Options include handcrafted real wood wands, light-up wands, replica wands, and Ollivander's originals.
Real Wood Harry Potter Wands
Real wood Harry Potter wands offer a level of authenticity, from their feel to their look, that synthetic materials cannot match. These handcrafted wands typically feature intricate designs carved from a single piece of wood. They are approximately 35 centimetres long, but lengths may vary. If you are looking for an authentic wand for cosplay or collecting, take note of the length and types of carved designs. Real wood wands usually come with beautiful, silk-lined display boxes, velvet wand bags, and additional wand accessories.
Harry Potter Light-Up Wands
Harry Potter light-up wands are ideal for Halloween costumes. They feature a button on the grip that activates an LED light in the tip for effective 'lumos' spells. Look for wands constructed of high-quality resin for accurate detail and added durability. In addition, check what type of battery the wand uses and if it comes with any accessories, such as a display box. Remember to remove the battery when you store the wand to prevent damage to the internal components.
Replica Harry Potter Wands
Replica Harry Potter wands resemble the wands characters use in the Harry Potter film series. Popular options with fans include the wands of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Draco Malfoy, Bellatrix Lestrange, Lord Voldemort, and Albus Dumbledore. These wands are excellent for cosplay because they add an air of authenticity to these characters' costumes. Look for illuminating wands that respond to movement for believable spell casting. Ensure that the wand you choose has dimensions that match the information in the books and films.
Ollivander's Original Harry Potter Wands
Ollivander's Originals form part of the Nobles collection of wands. Nobles is an authorised Universal Studios Harry Potter merchandise creator. Ollivander's Originals are the official, licensed replicas of Harry Potter wands and Ollivander's boxes. These resin wands are detailed and depict the wands from the film series. They make excellent collector's items and come with beautiful display boxes. Display racks are also available. You can choose wand sets from your favourite film or collect wands from your favourite characters.

Having been sent to britford ward by my GP for severe pain I then had to wait about 6 hours to be seen, everybody else had gone home even the people who had arrived after me.I was then seen by the most uncaring doctor I have ever met who then told me off for being sent to them as they could not help, I found myself saying sorry for being there. After waiting so long I was very upset and in the morning I reported them to pals

A DRUG dealer who continued to ply his illicit trade while on bail has been jailed for four years and three months.
Liverpool Crown Court heard on Friday that police saw a man leaning into the passenger side of a van in Eastbank Street, Southport, on December 27 last year.
The officers knew the vehicle was connected with drug dealing and when they approached the man quickly walked away. The driver, Jason Pursall, panicked and reversed and then accelerated past the officers.
They gave chase in their car and they saw a small plastic bag being thrown from the van before it came to a halt near Hampton Road.
Pursall denied having any drugs but the bag was retrieved and found to contain 15 wraps of cocaine and six wraps of heroin.
On February 21, while on bail, police saw Pursall in a red Peugeot car in Haig Avenue, Southport. When it stopped by a newsagents' shop and the passenger got out the officers blocked it in and went to speak to the two men, said Claire Jones, prosecuting.
The driver, Pursall, was agitated and refused to open the door until the officers threatened to smash the window. In the back seat they found a bag containing 36 wraps of heroin, 34 of cocaine and £220 cash.
Pursall, 36, of Eastbank Street, Southport, pleaded guilty to four offences involving possessing cocaine and heroin with intent to supply.
Henry Riding, defending, said Pursall was a drug addict who was so desperate he continued dealing drugs despite being on bail.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Hardscaping' started by megacity, Sep 25, 2006.
Has anyone used asphalt grindings for driveways?Any advise on how to use and compact?
We used them for farm roads when I worked on one years ago. get them graded and level with a skid and use a compacting roller. This was sufficient for a farm road, however if this a "for sale service" you'd better do more than just listen to me.
I used them in my lane. You have to spread them out evenly, and after they compact go back over them to level it all out. They worked great for me, they have been in an area that used to wash out all of the time for about three years now with no problem. After a good hot summer they harden back up real nice.
They work well for a road with a light volume of traffic.
However, if they have chunks in them - the chunks WILL make for a VERY bumpy ride after the grindings compact and erode, which WILL happen over time.
I know first hand! I live 7/10 of a mile off the road. And the lane leading to my front door is at the moment........Asphalt Millings.
They've worked great in my driveway. I have friend who's a trucker, a couple of years ago he was hauling on a highway job close to home. He brought me a semi dump load for $100.00. Smoothed it with a box blade, made a nice driveway. Mine was a fine grind.
we have them around are shop and the only down side is when they get hot they stick to your tires and shoes.. other then that they great and cheap!!
Thanks for the replies,Highway job at 50.00 a load I guess I cant go wrong.I cant get gravel hauled for that.I've heard you can spray something on top of them to help bond back together-anyone know what?Thanks again.
i think this would be ideal for my shop....one question...can you turn a skid steer on it in the dead of winter?
we mix or own salt/sand and this could be a problem if they tear up...
i assume its impossible in the hot summer when it is soft..
we own a rental store and our whole back lot is made from this stuff. All we did was spread the loads out, didnt even roll it, after a while it compacts itself down. The only problem in the winter is if you turn a bobcat in a complete circle it rips it up a little bit, but just level it out and its good as new. Cheapest form of a driveway
