With the largest headsize in the Pure Drive family, the Pure Drive 107 has built a fan base for its comfort, spin production and power coming from its generous sweetspot. This 2012 version gets improved feel from the updated Cortex system. The Cortex Active Technology, Babolat says, better filters vibrations to enhance ball feel. This forgiving racquet weighs just 10.4 ounces strung and is a an easy choice for all court singles players and doubles players alike for its light, mobile playability. With an oversize head and slightly extended 27.2" length, this racquet packs a punch on all strokes, but good feel lets players keep that power in check. Our TW testers appreciated the lively feel and spin-friendly 16x19 string pattern whether they were grinding it out on the baseline or playing aggressively and taking charge at net. The versatile Pure Drive 107 is a must demo for intermediate players looking for a forgiving, powerful response without sacrificing feel or power. Note: Due to racquet stiffness, when stringing with a polyester or a co-polyester we highly suggest 54lbs as a starting point for tension.

The 23 executive actions included a memorandum requiring federal agencies to make relevant data available to the federal background check system, a memorandum requiring federal law enforcement to trace guns recovered in criminal investigations, and a memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence [text]. Before signing, Obama declared that the directives are intended to benefit "all the Americans who are counting on us to keep them safe from harm."
This story is the latest development in the Second Amendment and gun control debate [JURIST comment] in the US. Earlier this week New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation intended to impose tighter restrictions [JURIST report] on gun and ammunition sales. In December the National Rifle Association (NRA) restated its objection [JURIST report] to reinvigorated calls for an assault weapons ban following the Newtown shooting. In July Florida Governor Rick Scott announced that his state would appeal [JURIST report] the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida [official website] ruling that struck down a Florida law that barred doctors from discussing the dangers of gun ownership with patients. In July 2010 the Chicago City Council unanimously approved a new gun control law that bans gun shops in the city and prohibits gun owners from stepping outside their homes, including porches and garages, with a handgun. Shortly thereafter a group of Chicago citizens, supported by both the NRA and the National Association of Firearm Retailers, filed suit against the city [JURIST report] claiming the new ordinance infringes on their constitutional rights. In June 2010 the US Supreme Court ruled in McDonald v. Chicago [opinion; JURIST report] that the Second Amendment applies to states and municipalities as well as the federal government, thereby overturning Chicago's ban on handguns and raising considerable uncertainty about what amount of regulations of firearms was permissible.

Official descriptionEdit
" | The lighthouse protecting Kandarin's north western coastline has mysteriously stopped operating, and contact with the lighthouse keeper Jossik has been lost.
The Council would greatly appreciate it if somebody could discover for them what has happened to this most vital landscape feature. | " |

For activating the wall:

Enemies to defeat |
Travel to the Lighthouse by using an enchanted lyre, a games necklace teleport to Barbarian Outpost, a Teleport to House, if your house is in Relekka, or any other method that you wish. Start the quest by speaking to Larrissa, who can be found standing just outside the lighthouse entrance.
Larrissa tells you that she thinks that her boyfriend, who resides in the lighthouse, has gone missing as she hasn't seen him for a few days. To further her fears, the light is switched off and the front door bolted shut, which she says is unlike him.
Diary of the.. Presumably DeadEdit
When you offer to help search for her boyfriend, Larrissa suggests you speak to Gunnjorn at the Barbarian Outpost for a spare key to the lighthouse and also fix the broken bridge to the east.
To be able to enter the agility area and talk to Gunnjorn, you must have completed the miniquest Bar Crawl.
- Travel to the outpost by either using a games necklace teleport or by going south, across the basalt platforms. Talk to Gunnjorn at the start of the agility course and get the lighthouse key; you can get two planks here; they respawn just north of the outpost.
- With a hammer and 60 steel nails in your inventory, use the planks on both sides of the broken bridge located east of Larrissa, shown in the map above. You can cross the broken bridge by doing a small jump, so just hop to the other side and fix that part of the bridge.
Go back and talk to Larrissa again, who now tells you to enter the lighthouse and search for Jossik. Inside the lighthouse, climb to the first floor and search the bookcase. Take all the books available and flip through the lighthouse manual, ancient diary and Jossik's diary, which tells you about the history of the lighthouse and its inhabitants.
- On the top level, use molten glass, swamp tar (not swamp paste) and a tinderbox on the lighting mechanism. The lighthouse will now be fixed.
Go down to the basement of the lighthouse, where you will find a small cavern with a strange wall, having six empty slots fitted into its frame.
- Use all of the basic elemental runes on the wall, (fire, water, earth, and air)
- Use your sword and your arrow (any type, but remember that you will not get them back).
Warning: This is your last chance to prepare for the fight.
If you haven't prepared for this fight with armour and runes for casting magic, teleport to any place with a bank to ready yourself. If you only brought a games necklace, then use it to teleport to the Gamers Grotto or Burthorpe Troll Invasion and bank there. While you are there, pick up any quick teletab to any city or your POH, just in case you are close to death, to save yourself.
- Get good armour (Rune or better), Dragon hide armour, or mage armour (Mystic or better), bring many combat runes to cast several of each elemental spell. (wind, water, earth, and fire), get a good weapon for melee, and some ranged equipment. If possible, equip a ring of life and bring a one-click teleport just in case things get messy.
- Stock with prayer potions and a super set.
If you cannot see the colour changes very well, look to the chat box. There would be a message "The Dagannoth mother turns (colour)..." Also, you can change the graphics to "safe mode" to brighten the scene, allowing you to see her colour clearly. Using the wrong type of attack incurs splash damage.
- By default, her first form is always white. The cycle of the colour changes of the Dagannoth mother seems to be totally random.
- She can detect prayer and will automatically switch to an attack type different to your protection prayer. By default, she ranges at a distance and melees up close. She can hit up to 160 with melee and accurate, double-120s with ranged, so Protect from Missiles/Deflect Missiles is recommended.
- If you stop attacking her at any point or take too long to finish her off, there is a possibility that she will disappear and you will have to start the fight again.
- If a player has reasonable defence, they could consider using attack-boosting prayers instead, because the Dagannoth mother has a rather poor accuracy.
Get ready to face the mother!
The HorrorEdit
Once you are ready, walk through the unlocked wall and down the ladder. You find Jossik alive, but hurt and resting against the dungeon wall. He tells you that his search for his lost uncle, Silas, had brought him past the secret door, but he was attacked by a monster who was able to trap him there.
As he is talking, he announces that the monster is coming back. A cutscene plays where a dagannoth appears from the water. The monster can be fairly easily disposed; put on protect from melee and range or melee it, as you need to save your runes for its mother.
After you defeat it, try to help Jossik up to the surface, but he tells you that that wasn't the monster that had attacked him. A cutscene will show the Dagannoth mother emerging into the cavern, and engaging you immediately into battle.
Colour | Attack Weakness |
White |
Air spells (Wind Strike, Bolt, Blast, Wave, and Surge) Smoke spells (Smoke Rush, Burst, Blitz and Barrage) |
Blue |
Water spells (Water Strike, Bolt, Blast, Wave, and Surge) Ice spells (Ice Rush, Burst, Blitz and Barrage) |
Brown |
Earth spells (Earth Strike, Bolt, Blast, Wave, and Surge) Shadow spells (Shadow Rush, Burst, Blitz and Barrage) |
Red |
Fire spells (Fire Strike, Bolt, Blast, Wave, and Surge) Blood spells (Blood Rush, Burst, Blitz and Barrage) |
Orange | Melee attacks (Slash > Stab/Crush) |
Green | Ranged attacks (Thrown > Arrow/Bolt) |
The God BooksEdit
After you defeat the Dagannoth mother, Congratulations. You have survived the Horror from the Deep!...once.
As a reward from the Dagannoth mother, you obtain a rusty casket. Go to the first floor of the lighthouse and show it to Jossik. If you had a full inventory when defeating the Dagannoth mother, you will not receive a rusty casket. Instead, you must talk to Jossik, who will have picked it up for you.
You may now choose a book affiliated with the three gods: a Holy book (Saradomin), an Unholy book (Zamorak), or a Book of Balance (Guthix). A Holy book gives +8 to all defensive equipment stats, an Unholy book gives +8 to all offensive equipment stats, and a Book of Balance gives +4 to both.
- 2 quest points
- 4,662 Experience

- Access to the lighthouse general store and the dagannoth caves underneath (There are level 74 and 92 dagannoths. The level 74's use an inaccurate ranged attack, while the level 92's use a much more effective melee attack)
- 2 Treasure hunter keys for use in Treasure Hunter.
- 2 Hearts of Ice for use in Treasure Hunter.
Music unlockedEdit
Required for completingEdit
Completion of Horror from the Deep is required for the following:
Cultural referencesEdit
- The name of the quest may be a reference to H.P. Lovecraft and the X-Com game, Terror from the Deep.
- Silas' diary contains numerous references to American poet Walt Whitman's verses, particularly his poem Crossing Brooklyn Ferry.
- The quest was originally named Lighthouse Quest.
- When you complete the quest, the scroll says: 'Congratulations! You have survived the Horror From The Deep!' This is one of the only quests that say something different to having completed a quest, along with My Arm's Big Adventure, Between a Rock and One Small Favour.
- It is impossible to obtain a book of Armadyl, Bandos, or Zaros as a reward for the quest. You can only choose to buy those books after you obtain and complete the three books of Guthix, Saradomin and Zamorak.

Theo Box from Lorin Marsh
I love the new Theo boxes from Lorin Marsh. From far away they look like an intricate marquetry design but they are actually made of vintage electronic circuits from the 1960s-1980s which are inlaid into polished black fiberglass to create distinctive styles. Who knew circuits could be so artistic.

Ecover Dishwashing Liquid Lemon and Aloe Vera -- 32 fl oz
Great product
Works well but I would like if they made a bigger size bottle, a recharge bottle like other brands.
July 20, 2013
Effective, not harsh and the price is great!
This product works without harmful chemicals and the price is great.
July 17, 2013
Great dishwashing liquid!
I've been using the Ecover Dishwashing Liquids (in several scents) for probably 2 years now. I have hard water, and it lathers very well in my water. My favorite scent is this lemon and aloe vera, but all the Ecover dishwashing liquids are the same---only the scents are different. This product performs very well, and you don't have to use too much---even in hard water. The scent is nice also---not over-powering. Most of the mainstream grocery store dishwashing liquids are all filled with petro chemicals...this is not. I think it's the best dishwashing liquid I have ever used. Gentle on the hands, and not filled with a bunch a chemicals!!!
June 21, 2013
Nice lemon scent
It works well.
June 7, 2013
Ecover dish liquid

Final member of Chili family released from hospital
Posted at: 03/29/2013 9:33 PM
Print Story |
News10NBC has learned that the final member of a Chili family injured in a house fire has been released from the hospital.
Kaitlyn Ogg has been at Strong Hospital since the fire broke out on Golden Road in January.
Ogg's two children, RJ and Mara and Ogg's mother-in-law, Judy Ogg, were all rescued from the home.
A postal worker, who doesn't normally work that route, saw the fire that day and called 911.
There's still no update on the cause of the fire.

Is this sentence OK? I am trying to make a sentence using "lot on my plate".
Presently I have a lot on my plate and I will be occupied for most weekends. As such I will not be registering for the "Training" class next week.
As bill said, it's fine, though 'as such' normally follows a noun. I am a believer in fairies. As such, I object to your condescending attitude towards the fair folk.
As the meaning of 'have a lot on one's plate is clear, to most speaker's of BrE at least, there is no need for the part of your sentence I have coloured red. In a more formal letter I would use only the part I have coloured green, joining the two parts with 'so'
Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.
If you just want to know the meaning of a word, try OneLook Dictionary Search first.

Are your Scouts apprehensive when it comes to driving a personal watercraft? Replace water with dirt and you get all-terrain vehicles. In addition to personal watercrafts the BSA has approved council-level ATV programs among qualifying camps. (The programs are not approved for unit use.)
Similar to the personal watercraft programs, the aim of the ATV activities is safety, and teaching Scouts basic operation of the vehicle while respecting the environment.
Scouts or Venturers must be age 14 or older to drive an ATV, and the program requires youth to wear long pants, long-sleeve shirts, and over-the-ankle boots.
To locate an ATV program near you, see below.
The following list includes councils offering the All-Terrain Vehicle program in 2012. To find a BSA council near you, click here.

Mrs. i Galland murmured her congratulations ; In conventional fashion. I Marta's chair was drawn back from ' the table. She leaned forward in a : favorite position of hers when she was I Intensely interested, with hande clasped over her knee, which ¦mother always fcmnd aggravatingly i tomboylsh. She had a mass ot lustrous black hair and a mouth rather large ¦ In repose, but capable ot changing ' curves of emotion. Her large, dark I eyes, luminously deep under long Ifishes, if not the reel of her face, had j beauty. Her head was bent, the ] lashes forming a line wilh her brow now, and her eyes had tho still flamo of wonder that they had when she In tho sky. Her outcry and her bound | was looking all afound a thing and In this story Mr. Palmer, the noted war correspondent, has paint¬ ed war as he has seen It on many battleflelds, and between many na¬ tion*. Hia intimate knowledge of armlea and armaments has enabled him to produce a graphic picture of the greatest of all wars, and hla knowledge of conditions has led him to prophesy an end of armed conflicts. No man Is better quali¬ fied to write the story of the flnal world war than Mr. Palmer, and he haa handled hla subject with a master hand. CHAPTER I. A Speck In the Sky. It was Marta who first saw the speck hlbltioQ, not of the man in the mar chine. , ' Marta was thinking of the man who ' was about to die. She rushed down tbe ''¦ terrace stepe wildly, as If her going I and her agonized prayer could avert ' the Inevitable. The plane, descending, i skimmed the garden wall and passed j her out of sight. She heard a thud a craok- j ^^iform. his lips twitching, hie slender ling of braces, a ripping of cloth, but j^^^^ queering with the pain that he *^ ' I could not control, while his rather Westerling had started after her, eX' am glad tt was not the right." he re¬ plied. Westerling arrlTed and Joined Marta In offers of assistance just as they beard the prolonged honk of an automobile demanding the right of way at top speed in the direction of I the pass. "Thank you, but they're coming for me," eaid Lanstron to Westerling as he glanced up tbe road. Westerling was looking at the wreck. Lanstron, who recognized bim as an oCacer, though in muttl. kicked a bit ot the tom cloth over some apparatus to hide tt. At this Westerling smiled faintly. Then Lanstron saluted as of* fleer to offlcer might salute across the white posts, giving his name and re¬ ceiving In return Weeterllng's. They made a contrast, these two men, the colonel of the Grays, swart and sturdy, bis physical vitality so evi¬ dent, and the captain of the Browns, some seven or eight years the junior, bareheaded, in dishevelled fatigue from her seat at the teatable brought her mother and Colonel Westerling after her onto the lawn, where they became motionless figures, screening their eyes with their hands. The new¬ est and most wonderlul thing in the world at the time was this speck ap- jiearing above tho irregular horizon of tho Brown range, in view ot a land¬ scape that centuries of civilization had fertilized and cultivated and formed. At the base of the range ran a line of white stone posts, placed by inter¬ national commissions of surveyors lo the nicety of an inch's variation. In the very direction ot the speck's flight a spur ot foot-hills extended Into the plain that stretched away to the Gray range, distinct at the distance of thirty miles in the bright afternoon light. Faithful to their part in refus¬ ing to ciimb; the white posts circled around the spur, hugging the levels. In the lap of the spur was La Tir, the old town, and ou tlie other side of the boundary iay South La Tir, the new town. Through both ran the dusty ribbon of a road, drawn etraight across the plain and -over the glistening thread of a river. On Its way to the pass of tbe Brown range it skirted the garden of the Gallands, which rose in terraces to a seventeenth-century house overlooking the old town from Its outskirts. They were such a town, such a road, such a landscape as you may see on many European frontlere. The Christian people who lived In the re¬ gion were like the Christian people you know It you look for the realities ot human nature under the surface dif¬ ferences of language and habits. Beyond the house rose the ruins of a castle, Its tower still Intact. Marta al¬ ways referred to the castle aa the baron; for in her girlhood she had a way of personifying all Inanimate things. It the castle walls were cov¬ ered wllh hoar frost, she said that the baron was shivering; if the wind tore around the tower, she said that tbe baron was groaning over the demo¬ cratic tendencies of the time. On such a summer afternoon as this, the baron was growing old gracefully, at peace with his enemies. Centuries older than the speck In the sky was the baron; but the pass road was many more, countless more, centuries older than he. It bad been a trail for tribes long before Roman legions won a victory In the pass, which was acclaimed an Imperial tri¬ umph. To hold the pass was to hold tbe range. All the blood shed there would make a red river, inundating the plain. "Beside the old baron, we are par¬ venus." Marta would say. "Aud what a parvenu the baron would have beeu to the*Roman aristocrat!" "Our family is old enough—none older lu the province!" Mrs. Galland would reply. "Marta, how your mind does wander! I'd get a headache Just contemplating the things you are able to think of In five minutes. ' The first Galland had built a house on the land that his king had given aim for one ot the most brilliant feats ot arms in the history of the pass. Even the tower, raised to the glory of an older family whoso descendants, if any survived, were unaware of their lineage, had become known ae the Galland tower. The Gallands were rooted In the soil of the frontier; they were used "to having war's hot breath blow past their door; they were at home in the language and customs of two peoples; theirs was a peculiar tra¬ dition, which Marta had absorbed with her flrst breath. Town and plain and range were the first vista of landscape that sho had seen; doubtless they would be the last. One or two afternoons a week Col¬ onel Hedworth Westerling, commander of the regimental post of the Grays on the other side of the white poets, stretched his privilege of crossing the frontier and appeared for tea ftt the Gallands. It meant a pleasant half- hour breaking a long walk, a relief trom garrison surroundings, and in view of the order, received that morn¬ ing, this was to be a farewell call. He had found Mrs. Galland an agree¬ able reflection of an aristocratic past. The daughter had what he defined vaguely as girlish piquancy. He found it amusing to try to answer her un¬ usual questions; he liked the variety of ber Inventive mind, with its flashes of downright matter-of-factness. Mot until tea waa served did be men- through It to flnd what It meant. "Some day you will be chief ot staft, the head ot Gray army!" she suddenly exclaimed. Westerling started as if he had been surprised in a secret. Then he flushed slightly. "Why?" he asked with forced care¬ lessness. "Your reasons? They're more interesting tlian your prophecy." "Because you have the will to be," she said without emphasis. In the im¬ personal revelatione of thought. "You want power. You have ambition." He looked the picture ot It, with his square jaw, his well-moulded head set close to the shoulders on a sturdy neck, his even teeth showing as his lips parted in an unconscioue smile. "Marta, Marta! She Is—is so ex¬ plosive," Mrs. Galland remarked apolo¬ getically to the colonel. "I asked for her reasons. I brought it on myself—and it Is not a bad com) pliment," he replied. Indeed, he had never received one so thrilling. His smile, a emlle well pleased with itself, remained as Mrs. Galland began to talk of other things, and its linger¬ ing satisfaction disappeared only with Marta's cry at sight ot the speck in the sky over tho Hrown range. She was out on the lawn before the others had risen from their seats. "An aeroplane! Hurry!" she called. How fast the speck grew! Naturally, the business ot war, watching for every invention tbat might serve Its ends, was the flrst patron ot flight. Captain Arthur Lan¬ stron, pupil of a pioneer aviator, had been warned by blm and by the chief of staff ot the Browne, who was look¬ ing on, to keep In a circle close to the ground. But he was doing so well "It Must Be Bandaged—I'm Not Go¬ ing to Faint." that he thought he would try rising a little higher. The summits ot the range shot under bim, unfolding a variegated rug of landscape. He dipped tbe planes slightly, intending to follow the range's descent and again they answered to his deelre. The lower loomed before him as suddenly as if It had been shot up out ot the earth.. He must turn, and quickly, to avoid disaster; he must turn, or he would be across the white posts In the enemy's country. "Oh!" groaned Marta and Mrs. Gal¬ land together. In an agony ot suspense they saw the fragile creation of' cloth and bam¬ boo and metal, which had seemed as secure as an albatross riding on the lap of a steady wind, dip far over, careen back In the other direction, and then the whirring noise that had grown with its flight ceased. It was no longer a thing of winged life, defying the law of gravity, but a thing dead, falling un¬ der the burden of a living weight. "The engine has stopped!" exclaimed Westerling, any trace of emotion In his obeervant imperturbability that of satisfaction that the machine was the enemy's. He waa thinking of the ex¬ claiming, "This is a case for flrst aid!" while Mrs. Galland, taking the steps as fast^ae she couid, brought up the rear. Through the gateway in the gar¬ den wa)l could be seen the shoulders of a young offlcer, a streak ot red coursing down his cheek, rising from the wreck. An inarticulate sob of re¬ lief broke from Marta's throat, fol¬ lowed by quick gasps ot breath. Cap¬ tain Arthur Lanstron was looking Into the startled eyes of a young girl that seemed to reflect his ewn emotions of the moment after having shared those he had in the air. "I flew! I flew clear over the range, at any rate!" he said. "And I'm alive. I managed to hold her so she missed the waii and made an easy bump." He got one foot free of the wreck and that leg was all right. She shared his elation. Then he found that the other was uninjured. Just ae she cried in distress: "But your hand—oh, your hand!" His left hand hung limp from the wrist, cut, mashed and bleeding. Its nerves numbed, he liad not as yet felt any pain from the injury. Now he re¬ garded it in a kind of awakening stare of realization of a deformity to come. "Wool-gathering again!" he mut¬ tered to himself crossly. Then, seeing that she had turned while, he thrust the disgusting thing behind his back and twinged with the movement. The pain was arriving. "It must be bandaged I I have a handkerchief!" she begged. "I'm not going to faint or anything like that!" "Only bruised—and It's the left. I bold forehead and delicate, sensitive features suggested a man of nerve and nerves who might have left experi¬ ments in a laboratory for an adventure In the air. There was a kind ot chal¬ lenge Iti their glances; the challenge of an ancient feud of their peoples; of the professional rivalry ot polite duellists. Lanstron's slight figure seemed to express the weaker number of the three million eoldiers of the Browns; Westeriing's bulkier one. the four million five hundred thousand of the Grays. "You had a narrow squeak and you made a very snappy recovery at the last second," said Westerling, passing a compliment across the white posts. "That's in the line of duty tor you and me, isn't it?" Lanstron replied, his voice thick wllh pain as he forced a smile. There was no pose in his fortitude. He was evidently disgusted with him¬ self over the whole business, and he turned to the group ot three officers and a civilian who alighted from a big Urown army automobile as it he were prepared to have tliem say their worst. They seemed between the impuiee ot reprimanding and embracing him. (To lie Continued I. GEORGE A. H. SMITH, M. D. Eye diseases only. Office hours Tues¬ days and Thursdays from 8 to 11 A.

Exciting news - today I received a call for stories involving men and women in uniform, and I answered it in like spirit.
Today, I am adding a new WIP ("work in progress") - a love story involving two members of the RCMP. Unlike previous incarnations of this Upright Hero of the North, where the lady was a damsel in distress, this story will feature both the male and female lead in the red serge.
So, dare I say - She always gets her man?
There, you heard it here first - it's a CTR Author's Coffee Corner exclusive!

PG&E has already established connections with an initial group of third parties ('Requestors') that are offering unique ways to help customers save energy. PG&E has received many applications for GBC access. At this time, PG&E has already selected the first round of expanded third parties requestors based on the order they were submitted. The number of 3rd party applicants selected was dependent on the nature and scale of requests provided by each applicant. PG&E's goal is to work within the system limits and ensure that the response time per request is reasonable. For this to be a successful pilot program, GBC needs to be able to provide a satisfactory customer experience. PG&E will stabilize the platform after the first round of expanded participants. At that time, we will consider expanding the number of third parties with access to the API based on the performance of the API during the first round of testing.
Please submit your application to be put on the waitlist for consideration into the next round of connecting third parties. The next round of applications will also be evaluated, based on the order they were submitted.
How to apply for GBC API access
Fill out and email back this PDF application (PDF, 189 KB) (PDF, 186 KB) to PG&E (email@example.com). A GBC program representative will review your application and contact you with next steps. Please note that due to the nature of this beta program, the number of Requestors that PG&E can accept into the beta program is limited.
PG&E has received a large number of applications for GBC access. At this time, PG&E is uncertain if the beta will be expanded to additional third parties. If PG&E decides to expand the number of third parties, the next round of applications will also be evaluated, based on the order they were submitted.
How to gain access to customer data
Before Requestors can access customer data via the GBC API, there are two steps that must occur:
- Requestors must apply for access to the GBC API beta program. (see: 'How to apply for GBC API access')
- Customers must create a PIN code for each of the SmartMeter™ electrical service agreements they wish to share via the GBC API, and provide both their Service ID and PIN code. Please note that customers may suspend Requestor access to their data at any time by changing or deleting the PIN code associated with their Service ID. The Green Button information page provides step-by-step instructions on how to set up a PIN code.
Technical Overview
Security and Authentication
Data requests and responses are made using the secure HTTPS protocol, and authenticated via a two-way certificate exchange with PG&E. Requestors will need to implement Entrust security certificates for secure inbound and outbound API communication. In addition, Requestors will need to provide PG&E with their IP addresses, URLs, and port numbers for both QA and production servers, to assist with PG&E's firewall configurations. For more information regarding Entrust certificates, visit: http://www.entrust.net/
API Architecture
The GBC API is a RESTful web service, with requests and responses handled asynchronously, as two separate transactions. PG&E accepts an HTTPS post message for the request transaction, and responds by posting a RESTful message back to the third party with the customer energy usage information. Both requests and responses must be in the NAESB ESPI (XML) data format. For more information regarding the NAESB ESPI format, visit: http://collaborate.nist.gov/twiki-sggrid/bin/view/SmartGrid/GreenButtonInitiative
Request limits and data availability
In order to manage transaction load, PG&E has set a maximum request duration per request of 185 days from the start date. Requestors can specify their own date range, and send multiple requests in order to build a complete picture of customer data. In addition, only SmartMeter™ electrical consumption data for currently active customer Service IDs is available via the GBC API. Note that if a customer receives a new Service ID due to events such as a physical meter swap or payment rate change, their deprecated Service ID will become inactive, disabling GBC API access to the data associated with the deprecated Service ID.
Due to system constraints, PG&E requests that API users not exceed six (6) API requests per minute. For recurring customer data calls, Requestors should shift their API requests to off-peak hours (6pm to 6am, PDT). Please note that PG&E reserves the right to adjust this limit, based on ongoing performance evaluations.
Disclaimers and Terms of Use
Some Important Disclaimers
- The GBC API is currently in 'beta,' and may be discontinued at any time. PG&E will not be liable for any losses or expenses incurred by Requestor or Customers if and when the GBC API is discontinued.
- The number of requestors that PG&E can accept into the program is limited and you are not guaranteed access; we are reviewing applications on a first-come first serve basis…Acceptance into the trial is contingent upon the nature of the vendor's application and GBC's ability to support the request.
- Only SmartMeter™ electrical consumption data for currently active customer Service IDs is available via the GBC API. Note: If a customer receives a new Service ID due to events such as a physical meter swap or payment rate change, their old Service ID will become inactive, disabling GBC API access to that Service ID.
- GBC API response times can range from less than one minute, to several hours, depending on request traffic. PG&E makes no guarantee of API response time and cautions Requestors against building a 'real-time' response into the user experience of their customer-facing applications.
- PG&E reserves the right to implement, modify, or remove restrictions and limits to the API or these Disclaimers and Terms of Use at any time. Updates will be posted on PG&E's website.
- PG&E will provide limited GBC API technical support to Requestors during business hours. However, PG&E does not provide any guarantees to Requestors, verbally or in writing, and will not be responsible for any losses or expenses associated with a GBC API interruption, lack of responsiveness, or performance lag.
- Any violation of any of the GBC API Terms of Use is grounds for immediate suspension from the GBC API beta program.

Assisted living communities are designed for people who can care for themselves if they have some help with daily activities. These communities can help older people who have problems with memory, who get confused, or who have physical problems. Some communities have special units for people with dementia where residents can be closely monitored. Assisted living communities may also provide help for couples who wish to continue to live together even though one or both partners require more assistance than the other can provide.
Assisted living communities vary from small and homey to large and elaborate. Residents usually have their own apartment or a bedroom with a bathroom. These communities provide meals, help with daily activities (including personal care), and offer some social and recreational activities. Residents can choose which activities and services they want. Most assisted living communities provide some health care, including 24-hour supervision if needed. Doctors and nurses may visit regularly, and physical therapists may be available. Services and activities offered vary greatly from community to community. Also, regulations for these communities differ from state to state.
When people need intensive treatment, they may have to move to another facility, such as a hospital or rehabilitation center. They may move back to the assisted living community if they are able. But to hold their living space while they are gone, they must continue to pay for it.
People who move to assisted living communities usually need help with daily activities because they have some health problems that limit their ability to function independently. Assisted living communities prefer people who do not need help moving (transferring), for example, from bed to chair. But even when people become relatively impaired, they may be able to stay in these communities because of the help provided. How much help is provided varies considerably from community to community. Generally, an assisted living community is not an alternative to a nursing home. More often, it is a transitional living arrangement that is followed by a move to a nursing home.
Assisted living communities are usually less expensive than nursing homes because they provide less care. However, they can still be expensive. Although Medicare does not pay for assisted living communities, Medicaid sometimes provides financial support. Many long-term care insurance policies help pay for a significant part of assisted living costs.

Pros: very few Cons: wi-fi connectivity, computer performance Other Thoughts: terrible problems with wi-fi connection. Have spoke with customer service, was told to load more recent driver for wireless card, that they werre "aware of the issue" (though if aware, why didn't they ship with most recent driver?). This did not solve problem, back to online support, told it was a problem with BIOS and had to go through 40 minutes of support to fix this, worked for a bit, then back to the same problems with connectivity. Now "outside" of the 30 day return window at Newegg. Very, very, very disappointed in this machine. I would not buy!!!! 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
DISAPPOINTEDPros: I like the touch screen. Cons: Computer crashed on day 97 of ownership. DISGUSTED and DISAPPOINTED. After an hour on the phone with Acer, I'll be shipping in back for repairs. Not what I had in mind. 1 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Decent Budget TouchscreenPros: I purchased this for a casual play computer - and it fits the bill perfect, its lighter than an ultrabook, feels nice, Windows 8 runs smooth on it, touchpad is nice I like the control ability on it. Even comes with USB 3.0, HDMI. and a DVD Drive!! and still just as thin as those $1500 ultrabooks with the same specs. Cons: Sound - I would say its decent for video playback but not useful when listening to music or watching movies. Other Thoughts: I did make an upgrade to this machine and that is to the Harddrive 5 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Poorly DesignedPros: I love Windows 8. I think the software utilizes touch screen applications well enough to maintain relevance in a post keyboard era...this laptop is capable since it has a touch screen. Cons: Too bad the touch screen keeps breaking. My first laptop was damaged in shipping. The screen had a large chunk missing from it and was cracked. I don't know if this was Acer's fault or the shipping company or Newegg. I am going to assume it was Acer because Newegg shipped me another one and that one broke within 2 weeks. The laptop is extremely flimsy. The touch screen is thin. I don't even want to pay the 200.00 Acer is demanding from me to repair the product. Even though I have only had it a few weeks the screen is not covered on their limited 1 year warranty. Good luck trying to talk to someone at Acer that can make an intelligent business decision as well. I thought for 200.00 it was worth keeping me quiet about a few product flaws in this laptop. Other Thoughts: 2. The angles they cut the glass for the touchscreen are going to promote shattering. Most touchscreen products do not expose portions of the glass that are going to cause this to happen repeatedly. I can't explain to you why a laptop screen will shatter in a carrying case with no sign of impact. 11 out of 15 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Intro This is my second attempt at a competitive battling team. I have learned a lot since I have joined the forum and I thank you all for your support and criticism. This team has a mix and mash of various playing styles. Some stalling, some weather, some haxing, ect. Well thanks for reading my post and I present to you the team. Jirachi @ Leftovers Trait: Serene Grace Shiny: Yes EVs: 224 HP / 252 Atk / 32 Spd Adamant Nature - Iron Head - Body Slam - Zen Headbutt - Wish This set utilizes Jirachi's wish support, great defensive typing, haxing capabilities, and balanced stats. Jirachi has few weaknesses and a large number of resistances. With investment in HP, Jirachi can take various attacks with ease, while providing all-round support with paralysis, flinching, and wish. Jirachi is unique when compared to other paralysis-inducers thanks to its ability, Serene Grace, alongside Body Slam and Iron Head. When it comes to the paralysis-inducing move, Body Slam is the best option, because, whereas a multitude of support Pokemon can abuse Thunder Wave, Jirachi can utilize Body Slam to paralyze threats that Thunder Wave cannot. Serene Grace doubles Body Slam's chance to paralyze to a reasonably consistent 60%, allowing Jirachi to paralyze a threat most of the time thanks to its great bulk. Another trait that Jirachi has over other support Pokemon is Iron Head; this move is complementary with paralysis and Serene Grace, as Jirachi can slowly chip away at an opponent, weakening it for another Pokemon to KO. Iron Head may also allow Jirachi a "free turn" for Wish healing, provided the opponent flinches. Zapdos @ Leftovers Trait: Pressure EVs: 248 HP / 244 SDef / 16 Spd Calm Nature - Thunder - Roar - Roost - Heat Wave Zapdos can run a specially defensive set thanks to its fantastic defensive typing. Even though its defensive stats might lack a little uster, it has the bulk to take just about any reasonably powered special attack in the game when invested. This set's effectiveness hinges on whether or not Zapdos resists many of the opponent's attacks. If Zapdos can switch in on resisted special attacks or weak neutral hits, it can fire off a powerful Thunder, Heatwave, or Air Cutter (hopefully getting the crit), or recover its health with Roost. Roost is the cornerstone of this set for obvious reasons: it preserves Zapdos' health. Thunderbolt is a generic attacking option, but Thunder is usually better because of the rampant amount of rain in OU and my Politoed setting up rain itself thanks to its drizzle ability. Cloyster (F) @ White Herb Trait: Skill Link Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd Adamant Nature - Icicle Spear - Shell Smash - Rapid Spin - Rock Blast This Cloyster set is one that can sweep most teams with ease. Start with a Shell Smash doubling Cloyster's Attack, Special Attack, and Speed to threatening levels. The White herb then gets rid of the defensive stat drops. Icicle Spear is the perfect move for Cloyster; because of Skill Link, it will always hit five times, effectively making it a 125 Base Power STAB move. Rock Blast offers great coverage with Icicle Spear, hitting Fire, Water, and Ice-types for at least neutral damage. In the last slot, rapid spin to fling away those pesky entry hazards. Breloom (F) @ Toxic Orb Trait: Poison Heal Shiny: Yes EVs: 12 HP / 252 Atk / 244 Spd Adamant Nature - Spore - Leech Seed - Substitute - Focus Punch First of all, Breloom's incredible defensive typing makes it more than capable of taking hits from some top Pokemon in OU. Combine this Poison Heal and leech seed recovery, Substitute, and Breloom can easily prove itself to be far tougher to kill than its stat spread would suggest. Spore is a must-have on pretty much every Breloom set, as it is the only 100% accuracy sleep move in the game, and with Generation 5's sleep mechanics, a Pokemon put to sleep often might as well be KOed. Leech Seed goes a long way to bolster Breloom's survivability, allowing it to wear down opponents while simultaneously refilling its own life. Substitute compounds this by allowing Breloom to scout switches and stall out Pokemon affected by Leech Seed. It also works especially well on this set due to the significant healing from Leech Seed and Poison Heal. Finally, Focus Punch rounds out the set hitting many pokemon in OU hard. Hydreigon (F) @ Choice Specs Trait: Levitate EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 HP / 252 Spd Modest Nature - Draco Meteor - Dark Pulse - Earth Power - U-turn This set takes advantage of Hydreigon's superb offensive stats and incredible coverage to break through common walls and deal heavy damage to the opponent's team. The beauty of this set is that even if your opponent switches into a resisted attacking move, Hydreigon typically has a coverage move that is powerful enough to 2HKO said switch in. Draco Meteor is Hydreigon's strongest move, and is an incredible move when used effectively. Roost significantly increases Hydreigon's durability. Next, we have Dark Pulse which rounds out Hydreigon and provides it with an effective, secondary STAB move that is useful against Reuniclus and Jellicent. Finally, we have earth power for rounded out coverage. Politoed (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Drizzle EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef Modest Nature - Scald - Perish Song - Ice Beam - Toxic This set has virtually no problem with setup sweepers, as it has just the right moves to foil their every attempt. Ice Beam punishes any Dragonite or Hydreigon attempting to set up on Politoed and deals major damage to Breloom and Latios on the way in. Scald is a stab special attack and with the rain can deal some massive damage. Scald is used over surf for the chance of burning the opponent. Perish Song allows Politoed to aggravate any Pokemon it cannot outright KO forcing switches. Toxic can also force switches after a few turns as well as a form of passive damage.

First, I will replace king rock with leftovers on Jirachi, King rock is generally not effective, it does not stack with move that already has a flinch chance, like Iron head on your Jirachi. Air cutter is also underwhelming on Zapdos, it is just too weak to be useful, replace it with toxic, thunder wave or whatever I would also use Choice Scarf>leftovers on Hydreigon, your team lack revenge killer and that could be dangerous at time, of course, if you do that you should replace Roost with an attacking moves, such as U-turn Hope I helps!
Hello. Cool team you have here. Rain is quite the popular weather nowadays, isn't it? Anyways, this is a real well put together team, and hopefully with this rate, it can become even better. So, without further adu, let's get to the rate! Alright, first up, I suggest that you change your item on Jirachi to Leftovers over Kings Rock. Leftovers gives you more staying power, which Jirachi enjoys. Staying on Jirachi, I suggest that you use Stealth Rock in place of Psychic. Every team needs Stealth Rock, and this one is no exception, as it just wears opposing teams out. Up next, I suggest changing Zapdos' moveset a bit. Air Cutter isn't that good of a move for Zapdos, and I suggest you replace it in favour of Toxic. Toxic allows you to cripple a variety of attackers in the tier, which is always nice. Staying on Zapdos, I suggest that you change Heat Wave into Roar. Roar helps wear down the opposing team, wether it be by Hazard damage, or spreading around status with the aftermentioned Toxic. One last thing I would change is Seed Bomb over Leech Seed on Breloom. This gives Breloom a way to hit bulky waters for significant damage. Well, that's all i have to say for now. I hope my advice helped. Have fun and good luck with your team! ~Dr Ciel~ (The doctor is OUT)
Thanks for the feedback on the team. I have been testing out the suggestions above and I like most of them. I made the edits in RED. I have also made some changes myself and added them above as well. Thanks for the support! Any more suggestions?

Three college students in Orlando may have the answer to a 21st Century problem: How do you automatically set your cell phone to silent while you're in class or a meeting?
Jonathan Wachob, Brandon Carpenter and Tom Johnson all say they got tired of the ringing, so they came up with a solution: A smart phone app that allows them to take their phone at the beginning of the semester, set it and forget it.
Their friend, Ed Jesizek, is a software engineer major and together they created the app they call "Ringtone Manager."
"By putting our schedule into the phone ahead of time for a whole semester, at the start of class it automatically goes on silent and at the end of class it automatically goes on loud," Brandon Carpenter, a Seminole State student said.
The three also think the app has a place in settings outside of college.
"You could set it during a business meeting and you could have it go back to loud afterwards," Jesizek said.
For now though, it's a $1 investment for college students who want to avoid a grade killing mistake.
