Although small wind turbines have a great potential to serve increasing demands for distributed generation, and to provide a cost-effective solution for many homes, farms and businesses, several obstacles still hinder greater adoption of small wind turbines. These obstacles include:
A standardized certification process with easy to understand labels that will allow consumers to make "apples-to-apples" comparisons of different small wind turbines would go a long way towards overcoming these challenges.
The Small Wind Certification Council (SWCC) is an independent certification body, and certifies that small wind turbines meet or exceed the performance and durability requirements of the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) Small Wind Turbine Performance and Safety Standard. This certification provides a common North American standard for reporting turbine energy and sound performance, and helps small wind technology gain mainstream acceptance.
The SWCC will certify turbines and issue easy-to-understand labels for Rated Annual Energy Output and Rated Sound Level. The label will confirm that the turbine meets durability and safety requirements. The SWCC website (www.smallwindcertification.org) will also have a web directory that will publish Power curves, annual energy performance curves and measured sound pressure levels for each turbine that it certifies. SWCC labels will allow consumers to compare the performance, sound and durability of turbines, and will provide a crucial tool for consumers to choose the small wind turbine that is best suited to their needs. Certification will also be a crucial tool for policy makers.
The SWCC does not conduct testing of small wind turbines, but instead verifies and certifies test results submitted by testing organizations. The Wind Energy Institute of Canada in PEI is currently testing two small wind turbines for SWCC certification. (www.weican.ca)
The AWEA Small Wind Turbine Performance and Safety Standard only applies to turbines with a swept area of up to 200 m2, or which equates to a rated capacity of roughly 50-65 kW. Turbines with a swept area greater than 200 m2 cannot be certified by the SWCC. For customers wishing to buy these mid-sized turbines, it will be important to do some more research on the turbines by requesting more information from manufacturers, such as examples of successful installations that have been running for at least one year, as well as references from previous customers. In the absence of certification certain jurisdictions, such as New York and California, have established vendor lists which require manufacturers to provide detailed information on existing installations.
As of June 2010, 12 manufacturers had applications pending for certification of 14 turbine models. It is estimated that it takes approximately 1 year to test and certify turbines. It is estimated that the first certified turbines should be on the market by fall 2010, with a larger number of certified turbines available by early 2011.
Various standards are maintained for quality-control and safety. Typically, users do not need to be well-versed in these standards, except for CAN/CSA-F429-M90 if users are installing turbines themselves. Regardless, it may be useful to be familiar when you're speaking to manufacturers, installers, maintenance crews, and utilities.
The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) administers standards that apply to small wind turbines in a number of areas including manufacture, safety, installation and maintenance:
Following are the International Electrotechnical Commission's (IEC) international wind turbine-related standards:

Get a Barnes & Noble Nook Color e-reader for $199
Hot on the heels of yesterday's iPad 2 announcement, Barnes & Noble is now offering (via eBay) the Nook Color e-book reader for $199 (plus sales tax in most states). That's after applying coupon code CBARNESDD at checkout.
Update: Sigh. Sold out. I'm having the worst luck this week! My apologies, folks. I had no idea B&N was pulling this so soon.
These are new units, not refurbs, which makes me think a permanent price cut is coming (though maybe not, as Apple didn't lower prices for the iPad 2, much to my surprise).… Read more

By turning Google Voice into a true VoIP option, Google makes your phone company's expensive voice plans completely optional.
Today different websites are claiming that you can now connect to Google (GOOG) Voice through an industry standard set of Voice over IP (VoIP) standards called SIP. What this means in layman's terms is that you'll soon be able to connect to your Google Voice account in mostly the same way that you use your "phone" application on a smartphone. Other VoIP providers like Skype also offer this type of functionality but aren't built into Android devices like Voice is.
Android 2.3 has native support for SIP, though it isn't a fully capable client, yet. You can still make and receive calls.
There are two additional roadblocks for Google Voice before users can totally throw their voice plans out, however. More

Many shepherds report as good results from feeding silage to sheep as nre reported by dairy¬ men and beef cattle feeders. Sheep In the summer are gross feeders, rapidly cleaning the land of brush and weeds, but in the barn nnd In the feed lot they are extremely dnlnty In their eating.

The butcher desires a hog that will dress well and yield the largest percentage of high priced cxitn of meat. The breeder or feeder should endeavor to supply these, but he must have con¬ stitution and feeding capacity to make hla operation profitable, according to the United States department of agri¬ culture. From the bree<ler's or farmer's point of view fecundity and early maturity are mos^ desirable. Good aunllty is wanted hy both farmer and butcher and is Indicated by the flne, silky hair and smooth, mellow skin. The head should be broad and rather short; neck SILAGE A GOOD FEED FOR EWES AND LAMBS [Prepared by United States department of agriculture.] The use of o<jrn silage as a feetl for sheep has attracted the attention of most farmers only during the past few years. Although a few sheepmen fed silage many years ago with good re¬ sults, most flockmasters have beeu slow In giving it a trial. Owing to the wonderful Increase In the use of silos on farms nnd owing to the cheapness of silage as compared with other succulent feeds, such as roots, farmers are constantly raising tho question regarding the feeding of silage to sheep. A great deal has been said of its bad effects upon sheep, but thwfe have orison either liecause an inferior quality of silage was fed or on account of carelessness- on the part of the feeder In not feeding it properly. A good quality of silage Is extremely palatable^nd can be fed to all classes of sheep with good results. It must bo borne In mlnil, however, that silage which Is either very sour, moldy or frozen should not be fed. The amount of silage reported In feeding trials varies from one to flvo pounds per head per day. The amount to feed d(^i)L'n(ls upon the class of sheei) and tho char.'icter of the otlier feeds comprising the rallon. As a gen¬ eral rule from two to four pounds per head r>er day is considered as much as should be fed. Lamb feeders have found silage a very satisfactory feed, nnd the amount The Cheviot has proved a valu¬ able sheep on American farms and makes a good cross on native stock. The ewes ure flno milkers and gri^oJ mothers, losing few lambs. The wool Is moderately long, straight and free from short hair and covers well all parts of the body. When crossed on native stock the off¬ spring show a marked increase In mutton quality and wool produc¬ tion. Tho fleece of the Cheviot ewes weighs six to eight iiounds. fed ranges from one to three pounds I)er (lay. Where lambs ure on full feed of grain, such as corn, and are receiv ing a fair allowance of hay they wDl as a rule only consume from one to two ix)unds per head i)er day. In fetKling breeding ewes before lambing a daily allowance of from two to three pounds should be considered a ma.xlmum quantity. After lambing the amount can be slightly increased. In feeding silage or any other succu¬ lent feeds it must be borne in mind that the value of such feeds to a large e.xteut Is to act as an appetizer and to keep the digestive system In good con¬ dition. Under ordlflary conditions \vhere silnge Is fed it should not ciuistl- tute moro than one-lialf of the entire ration and it should be ftnl with other feeds that will property balance tlic ra¬ tion for tho i»uriK)se intended.

The I'oland China is one of the extreme lard or fat type. It origi¬ nated In C)hlo and Is the most com¬ mon breed of hogs in the United States. The Poland China pig is black in color with six white points, tho nose, the tip of the tail and the feet; lias a .short, broad head, with slightly dished face, and the eixrs start strong, but break and drop about one-third of their length. The body is thick, broad and compact, and the deposit of fat is quite thliik over the entire carcass. The hams and shoulders are heavy, the back Is strong and broad, and its early maturing qualities are good. short und Joining the shoulder without creases: jowl full, btit not flabl)y, and the shoulder smooth, deep and well covered. The hog should have a broad, louK, straight or slightly arched back, with a deep, smooth covering of fat. The loin should be broad and strong :ind level with the back. Ilams should be loiiK. deep, thick and well let down on the hock. The body should be long and deep, the ribs be ing well KpniuK and the sides thick and side lines strai^rht. Condition In the fat ho^,' is inipi>rtant from the unir- ket stJindpiint. It is desired to liave a thick, even covering of fat over the entire carcass, free from wrinkles or ties. Market demands vary, but a pig of 2CX) to ;;()() iRiunds usually will com¬ mand ready sale at the best prices. The bacon t.\pe of ho;; is less com¬ mon in the United States, but is grown almost e.xclusively In other countries, especially Denmark. The bacon type [)lg is less compact and carries less fat than the fnt tyjie pig. He is character¬ ized by greater length aud depth rela¬ tively and with longer head and lighter ham, shoulder and jowl. The side Is the main iioint emphasized in the ba¬ con pig, and the shoulder and ham should be light and level with the .side. Depth of body with moderate width Is sought, and a smooth carcass with flrm flesh is desired. The head Is lonser and the pig stands on longer legs than the lard type pig. The bacon pig should be marketed at 175 to 2im> Iiounds, and his welfiht should not be made up of fat, but rather of flrm flesh. _ Quality In the pig Is indicated by flne iinlr and small, hard bone, fineness of parts in general indicating high qual¬ ity. High quality is essential to secure the best market price. The butcher or packer wants a hog that will dress a high percentage of edible meat. This Is not securiKl from a coarse, rough or jioorly fed hog. To secure as much quality as possible and still retain health, vigor, fecundity and early ma¬ turity with good feeding qualities should be the aim of the feeder and luveder. Extreme quality must be carefully avoided because It is usually nicomp:iiil(>d by loss of the best breed¬ ing: and feediiiir (lUMlities. Condition in tiie lard hog Is Indicated by the coveriuK of fat. The fat should be even and thick over the entire car¬ cass and free from wrinkles and creases* Condition Is desirable be¬ cause It enhances the value of the l^og. Condition in the bacon hog is Indlcjtted^ by a smooth, flrm covering of flesh, and deposits of fat are not wanted, but a mixing of fat and lean. There should be no wrinkles or ties in the flesh, and the carcass Is not wanted thick or heavy. In studying, judging or selecting breeding stock of pure breeding it Is important to remember breed type. By breed type is meant the character¬ istics of the particular breed under study. Each breed of swine has a set standard of desirable points as to slse. conformation, form, color and disposi¬ tion. Graat Wasta of Eggs. Tbe annual American egg crop is ea¬ timated to be worth $500,000,000; but, according to the egg specialists of tbe department of agriculture, tbe value of oar eggs sbould be 1700,000,000. Be¬ tween the hen and tbe consumer tbere Is a waste of 1200,000.000 annually. Of thla waste 150,000,000 Is due to needless breakage of eggs In transit from tbe nest to tbe retailer.

Better idea: Blame the UPS driver for delivering a dead hooker with your package and get away with it!
I make at least 1 order a week (more like 1 order a day). I think I've watched a video once on their site. If they give an option for just prime shipping at the same rate I'd take it. But if not I'll still pay the $119 since I order so much
Actually the only security problem seems to be the Camera app. Since the camera app is allowed from the lock screen if you open it via the multitask screen while using this trick it opens the full camera app.
Normally the camera app when password protected can take new photos and can't access old ones but when you do it this way you have full access to the camera roll. You can delete photos, share them (txt, email, twitter, facebook, etc).
So that's a security issue.
Yeah I got the same. I can see the apps and can close them but most are just dark blank screens and not the actual app and none can open. The only thing that opens is the alarm app and if you click the home screen one it just goes back to the lock screen.
As far as I can tell as long as your lock screen is password protected it won't show any part of the app other than the initial view (e.g. a blank safari, or a splash screen of the app). So for example if you were viewing an email it doesn't seem the email will be visible in the multitask screen.
Now if you're not password protected (either off or you don't require a passcode immediately) and do the same trick the multitask screen shows everything and you can switch apps but that's fine since you can already unlock without a password.
So it doesn't seem to be that big of an issue.
I should probably add this happened at like 10AM so even if it did make a sound I was already up. Also I don't even think it rained that day so kind of a useless alert.
It seems to respect the vibrate button on my iPhone.
Unless there's different types and the flood warning alert I got last week is one that doesn't trigger sound.
I prefer The United Ares of America
I'd prefer Vogons over Vegans actually.
Just as long as they don't join forces and write poems about tofu!
Worth Ave Group seems to be the only one that covers theft.
I used them for my iPad however I just sold my iPad and they don't let you transfer warranties (the warranty covers the user not the item). Unsure if they refund any money if you cancel a policy since I haven't called yet and they don't let you cancel online.
So for my new iPhone 5 I got SquareTrade again since you can transfer warranties if you sell the product and you can cancel early and get refunded the difference (I got $67 back from canceling my 4S policy).
So if theft is a big issue for you then Worth Ave Group is OK I guess but for my needs I'm sticking with SquareTrade.
My coworker registered about 8 really short names since they weren't taken yet (such as his first name, a common name).
My name wasn't available though, so I just got email@example.com.
If someone steals your fingerprints I've come up with a solution: Random Fingerprint Generator.
We could always start eating each other. Problem solved!

United States Senator
September 23, 2008
Statement of Senator Jim Webb
On the Confirmation of Anthony J. Trenga to be a Judge on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia
Mr. Chairman, today it is my distinct pleasure to offer my support along with my colleague Senator Warner for the nomination of Anthony J. Trenga to be a judge on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Mr. Trenga has enjoyed a long career in which he has earned the respect of both colleagues and clients. Mr. Trenga received a rating of "highly qualified" by the Virginia Bar Association. He has been described as an attorney of the highest integrity, unbiased, diligent; and one that possesses superlative legal skills. Mr. Trenga's practice has been exclusively litigation, and he has worked primarily in the U.S. District Court in Alexandria to which he seeks appointment.
In 1974, Mr. Trenga served as a law clerk for the Honorable Ted Dalton, who served on the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia. Mr. Trenga then joined the law firm of Sachs, Greenebaum & Tayler in 1975 and became a partner in 1982. Mr. Trenga served as managing partner at Hazel and Tomas, P.C. from 1987-1998. Presently, Mr. Trenga is Chairman of the Litigation Department at Miller & Chevalier Chartered. In addition to a distinguished professional career, Mr. Trenga has received numerous professional and civic awards for community involvement.
Mr. Trenga received his A.B. from Princeton University in 1971, his J.D. from the University of Virginia in 1974, and has taken non-degree graduate law courses at the Georgetown University Law Center. He is married to Rita Marie FlorCruz Trenga and is the father of Elizabeth and Anthony Trenga.
I should note that the U.S. Senate exercises critical oversight in the confirmation of judges to U.S. Courts. I am pleased that Senator Warner and I have been able to work jointly, in a bipartisan way, to help ensure that persons appointed to U.S. courts in the Commonwealth of Virginia take seriously their role in defending the principles of the U.S. Constitution and will serve in a fair and unbiased manner. Mr. Trenga is an outstanding example of our collaboration.
I want to thank you Mr. Chairman for the opportunity to make these remarks about this outstanding Virginian. In particular, Mr. Chairman, I want to express my gratitude for the expeditious way the Senate has moved the nomination of Mr. Trenga through the process during the 110th Congress. Again, it is with pride that I join Senator Warner in commending Mr. Trenga to each of my colleagues on this committee.

A study presented at ANESTHESIOLOGY 2011 found that obese asthmatic children were nearly two times as likely to have at least one respiratory complication during or after surgery compared to their lean peers.
"Respiratory problems are one of the major causes of complications and death during pediatric anesthesia," said the study's lead investigator, Olubukola O. Nafiu, M.D. "Obesity and asthma are commonly cited as risk factors for respiratory problems. This study was designed to examine whether complications were more frequent in obese children with asthma."
About the Study The study prospectively examined 1,102 children, 107 (9.7%) obese asthmatics, 118 (10.7%) normal weight asthmatics, 309 (28.0%) obese patients and 568 (51.5%) normal weight non-asthmatics. There was no significant difference in age between or within the groups. Children in the obese-asthmatic and obese groups were more likely to have at least one respiratory complication during or after surgery compared to the other groups. Additionally, obese-asthmatic children were more likely to have a longer post anesthesia unit stay.
"The association of obesity and asthma with an increase in respiratory complications suggests that obese asthmatic children undergoing anesthesia should receive additional evaluation and care to prevent the increased potential for complications," said Dr. Nafiu. "Future investigations into what is directly causing complications in these patients are needed."

Chris Brown has released the video to his new single "I Can Transform Ya".
Clearly the popular animation and motion picture franchise "Transformers" was an inspiration as Chris definitely steps up his visual game to bring us all something a tad innovative.
Too bad the errors of his past continue to overshadow his work. Though I like the video, the actual song has yet to grow on me.
Am I alone in that?

Scott Hartnell and Ian Laperriere Cameo in Judd Apatow's 'This Is 40′
Aug 8, 2012, 12:05 PM EDT
Scott Hartnell is no stranger to the cameras. He played a prominent role in HBO's remarkable series 24/7 detailing the road to the Winter Classic last December and is well known for his comedic humor in his infamous "Hartnell Down" episodes.
So it's no surprise he'll be making a cameo on the big screen in Judd Apatow's next movie, "This Is 40." Hartsy will be joined by former teammate Ian Laperriere, who actually is quite visible for a second in the below trailer. Lappy has shown on DNL that he can charm a camera as well.
Former Flyers Matt Carle and JVR were also around for filming, but no word if they actually appear in the film.
"I will award myself the title of worst dancer," said Lapperriere. "JVR
and Hartsy had some moves. Matty Carle is a little more my type; a
stiffer dancer just like me. But we were all sportsmen and had a lot of
Both the screen grab and the video come via the Flyers official website.
Look for Lappy showing off the creepy dance moves:

Here Be Dragons...
This modern-day "dragon" is one of the world's largest lizards. Males often grow to more than nine feet long, and it's not uncommon to find them measuring more than 10 feet in length and weighing up to 200 pounds. Females are slightly smaller, but still grow to more than seven feet long and weigh up to 150 pounds.
A Hearty Appetite
The Komodo is a very efficient predator. Its large size allows it to bring down prey animals that are indeed fit for a dragon. Komodos have been known to kill pigs, wild horses, deer and even water buffalos! (Not only that, but they can eat three-fourths of their body weight at one sitting. Burp!) Normally, however, they're content with more moderate meals -- like birds, snakes, fish, snails and small mammals.
The Komodo dragon also has an impressive "athletic" ability. It can run as fast as a human for short spurts. And like most other monitor lizards, it's agile enough to climb trees, and is a good swimmer. So most prey has little chance of escaping the reach of a hungry Komodo.
Deadly Spit
But what happens if a Komodo takes a bite out of its prey, and the victim manages to get away? Here lies the real secret of a Komodo's hunting success -- (are you ready?), its saliva! Scientists have found dozens of species of bacteria in a Komodo's saliva, many of them deadly. So if a prey animals survives the dragon's initial attack, it will most likely die of infection within a few days. As a bonus to help the Komodo find its long-lost victim, it can smell a dead animal more than five miles away (especially if the wind is right!) by using its sensitive tongue to "sniff" the air currents.
No Parent of the Year
Komodo dragons won't win any awards for good parenting (then again, neither will most reptiles). After mating, a mother dragon lays a clutch of up to 20-40 eggs in a nest mound of a brush. When the young lizards hatch seven months later, they're left to fend for themselves.
Many of the 12-inch long baby dragons fall victim to larger predators, which in many cases are adult Komodos! To avoid being eaten by their older relatives, the young dragons take to the trees, where they spend most of their time. They feed on insects and smaller lizards.
When the juveniles grow to about four feet long and can no longer find tree branches to support their weight (usually at age 4), they come down to the ground to live.
Even Dragons Have Problems
These modern-day dragons have problems of their own. Komodos live on only a few islands in Indonesia and their declining numbers have prompted scientists to list them as them threatened. Habitat destruction and poaching are the prime reasons, as well as periodic volcanoes, hurricanes and fires.

So that did not begin in what we might consider ideal fashion--Richard Howell had two fouls and was out of the game within a few minutes, Brown and Leslie were sloppy, and Scott Wood was totally contained. But despite this unexpected combination of regrettable circumstances, NC State was never in much jeopardy, and we have Rodney Purvis and T.J. Warren to thank for that.
After a sluggish start, Purvis was there to inject some offense into the proceedings and even the score, and Warren was able to help the Pack build a lead. Without their efforts, NC State would not have been up nine points at halftime, and honestly, the Pack probably didn't deserve to have that kind of a lead.
Fortunately, Penn State was an offensive train wreck, as advertised. They took advantage of Howell's absence in the first half by out-hustling NC State and picking up more offensive boards than they might otherwise have expected, but once Howell was able to actually play for an extended period of time, their offense died, and for obvious reasons. Or rather one obvious reason, which is that it could take two or three shots per possession for the Nittany Lions to get points. PSU was grabbing about 41% of their misses at halftime, and you can see where they finished. That's one reason why Howell is a crucial member of this NC State team. Not that he was the entire reason for the reversal, but he is the team's best rebounder.
Once the second half got started, the universe began to return to its proper orientation--Leslie was more aggressive and more accurate around the rim and Scott Wood was able to find some openings. Overall it was not a well-played game by NC State--and the Nittany Lions deserve credit here for some tough defense--but it was ultimately an easy victory, and that's the bottom line. The Pack came out determined in the second half, and you could just sense the Penn State sideline deflating, especially once Wood was able to get some space and hit a couple of threes.

Memorial Day officially kicks off summer! Kids are on summer vacation, the temperatures are rising, people are filling up their pools, and families are going on vacation. Therefore, Disney World is a crowded place to be! If you're visiting Disney World during the summer, you're probably wondering how can I experience attractions without waiting and waiting? Is there anything that has a short line? Yes, there is! Disney World actually has many attractions that offer short waits almost all of the time so I have compiled a Top 10 list of attractions with the shortest lines.
1. TTA/WedWay People Mover-This attraction rarely ever has a wait; and even if it does, it's usually very short. On really slow days, some Cast Members will even let you stay on the ride if you don't want to get off, which is great if it's raining or you have tired feet or tired kids. This attraction also gives riders a sneak peak of Space Mountain and is about 10 minutes long, which is pretty lengthy in comparison to other rides and shows. Regardless of what time of year you visit Disney World, you are almost always guaranteed a ride on the TTA with a minimum wait.
2. Walt Disney: One Man's Dream-This Hollywood Studios attraction is a walk-through museum where you can learn about Walt's life, the history of the Disney company, and the Disney parks. There are also models and artifacts and other things to see. I've noticed that both kids and adults enjoy this attraction; and since it's kind of a walk-through musuem, guests can explore it at their own pace and I've never seen a line for it yet.
3. American Adventure-This show can be found at the American Adventure pavilion in Epcot. It's an audio-animatronic show featuring major American characters in major moments of American history, along with beautiful sets and music. It's a very moving show and usually the only waiting you will do is waiting for the next showtime. If you do arrive a bit before the show starts, you will be treated to a singing group, the Voices of Liberty, who sing just in the show's foyer. This group is very talented and they dress in period costumes!
4. Spaceship Earth-Spaceship Earth is a very unique attraction in that is located inside of Epcot's icon and share's the same name. Spaceship Earth is a slow moving attraction that takes guests back in time to see advances mankind has made throughout history. This attraction can have a lengthy line at certain points during the day, especially early in the morning, but the line moves very quickly and the ride itself is longer than most.
5. Hall of Presidents-This attraction is a patriotic, historical show at the Magic Kingdom featuring audio-animatronics of all of our country's presidents. This show is housed in a beautiful theater and narrated by Morgan Freeman. It's an amazing show to experience and because the theater can see large numbers of guests, there's usually no wait except for waiting for the show to begin.
6. Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse-This classic, walk-through attraction can be found in Adventureland at the Magic Kingdom. This treehouse is based off of the classic book and classic Disney film; and at the Magic Kingdom, you get to walk through the Robinson's treehouse yourself and see how they used their surroundings to make a comfortable home. Since you can walk through this attraction, it is very rare to find a wait! But be sure not to rush through the treehouse as there are lots of details to see!
7. Backlot Tour-This attraction, located at Hollywood Studios, is really unique in that it offers several experiences in one. You will witness how action scenes are shot, see tons of props from popular movies, and even see how filmmakers use special effects at Catastrophe Canyon. This attraction can handle large volumes of guests so the line is hardly ever long!
8. Walt Disney World Railroad-The Walt Disney World Railroad is both transportation and an attraction. The train station, and possibly the train, are the first things you see when you arrive at the Magic Kingdom. You can hop aboard a train here near the entrance and ride a mile and a half around the park, or you can hop aboard at the Frontierland station later on. It's up to you! The railroad gives you a different view of the park and is enjoyable and relaxing for all ages. Also, the only waiting you will have to do is waiting for a train to pull into the station.
9. Country Bear Jamboree-This classic Disney attraction has been entertaining guests since Disney World opened in 1971. This show has been criticized as cheesey; but it's also charming andyou can't help but smile. This show plays throughout the day at the Magic Kingdom and hardly ever has a long wait. It's a great place to sit down, cool off, laugh a little, and young kids will enjoy it as well.
10. It's Tough to be a Bug-Whether this show is good or not is often a topic up for debate since it seems to be geared towards kids and is funny, but yet a little too scary and the creepy-crawlers make guests want to run for the door. Despite what you think, this 3-D show almost always has a short wait.
Honorable Mentions: Living with the Land, Mickey's Philharmagic, The Magic of Disney Animation
Now let me know what you think? Do you ever retreat to these attractions when the lines get too long?

Comcast is providing digital adaptors for accessing expanded basic channels after they are converted to digiital. Currently I just have my cable go directly to the RF input on the EH50. So when this change to digital takes place, I assume I won't be able to access these channels? If I connect the DTA, it says I have to tune the tv to channel 3; this piece of garbage only has RF in & out terminals, no RCA composite or s-video. So will I even be able to do recordings on the EH50 with the tv guide? I have the IR emitter, but will it change the channel on the DTA when a program is scheduled to record?

I thought I'd have to spend a small fortune to get an range vent that is as powerfull and featured as the one I bought from sears. It was less close to $150 and has a super powerfull, 450 crm dual blower ! That's more powerful than anything I've seen for under $500. It even has a completely variable speed control. I've never seen that before - even much more expensive models only have 1 or 2 speeds. After buying it I, I was concerned that there wouldn't be a decent filter for it. I read that the best units used charcoal. But, sears had a terrific filter - it has around four different layers of different materials (including charcoal). It's everything you could ask for and then some - it even has a sensor to tell when it's time to replace it. It was very reasonably priced and I received it fairly quickly (within the time promised). I'm very glad I made the purchase. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Why all the hate for my boy Aki?
Nothing against Aki. It's about the $$$. The Rays need to cut payroll somewhere.
True, but not my boy. Cut it somewhere else. I'm not sure where, but somewhere else. How about releasing the entire Stone Crabs lineup? haha.
People often refer to rabid, die-hard, sometimes even bandwagon Tampa Bay Rays fans. One tampabay.com reader, Johanna, has given her little Rays fan the title World's Cutest. Agree?
http://tinyurl.com/oegpr6 -
As the season progresses I'm starting to lean toward believing the Rays will keep Aki, with one caveat; that CC is dealt. If they clear up CC's money then they can afford Aki and should keep him.

Yogyakarta Special Region (/ˌjɒɡjəˈkɑrtə/ or /ˌjoʊɡjəˈkɑrtə/;[4] Indonesian: Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, or DIY) is a region of Indonesia. The city of Yogyakarta is the capital of the region.
Yogyakarta is historically and culturally part of the Central Java region, although it is now a separate administrative entity. It is the only region in Indonesia that is still governed by a pre-colonial monarchy, the Sultan of Yogyakarta, who serves as the hereditary governor of the region. Excluding the special capital territory of Jakarta, it is the smallest region of Indonesia.
In Javanese it is pronounced [joɡjaˈkartɔ], and named after the city of Ayodhya in Javanese-Hindu mythology.
In 1942 the Japanese Empire invaded Dutch East Indies and ruled Java until they were defeated in 1945. Sukarno proclaimed the independence of Indonesian Republic on August 1945. In September 1945, Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX and Sri Paku Alam VIII promptly sent a letter to Sukarno expressing his support to the newly-born nation of Indonesia and acknowledge Yogyakarta Sultanate as part of Indonesian Republic. The Sunanate of Surakarta also doing the same, and both of the Javanese kingdoms realm are awarded special status as Special Region within Indonesian Republic. However because leftist anti-royalist uprising in Surakarta, the Sunanate of Surakarta lost its special administrative status in 1946 and absorbed into Central Java Province.
Yogyakarta's support was essential in the Indonesian struggle for independence during the Indonesian National Revolution (1945-1949). The city of Yogyakarta became the capital of the Indonesian Republic from January 1946 to December 1948 after the fall of Jakarta to the Dutch. Later, the Dutch also invaded Yogyakarta causing the Indonesian Republic's capital to be transferred again to Bukittinggi in West Sumatra on 19 December 1948. In return for Yogyakarta's support, the declaration of Special Authority over Yogyakarta was granted in full in 1950 and the region became its own region. Because of its significant contribution for the survival of the Indonesian Republic, Yogyakarta was given the status as Special Administrative Region, making Yogyakarta the only region headed by a monarchy in Indonesia.
The Special Region was struck by a 6.3-magnitude earthquake on 27 May 2006. It killed 5,782 people and injured approximately 36,000. 600,000 people were left homeless.[5] The region of Bantul suffered the most damage and deaths.

The Special Region is located near the southern coast of Java, wholly within the province of Central Java. The population at the 2010 Census was 3,452,390. It has an area of 3,133.15 km2, making it the second-smallest area of the provinces in Indonesia, after the Jakarta Capital Region. Along with surrounding areas in Central Java, it has some of the highest population densities of Java.
Mount Merapi is located to the immediate north of the city of Yogyakarta and Sleman Regency. It is the most active volcano in Indonesia and has erupted regularly since 1548. It last erupted in October–November 2010, killing and injuring many people and temporarily displacing approximately 100,000 residents.[6][7]

Located within the Yogyakarta Special Region, the city of Yogyakarta is known as a center of classical Javanese fine art and culture such as batik, ballet, drama, music, poetry and puppet shows. It is also one of Indonesia's most renowned centers of higher education. At the city's center is the Sultan's palace called the kraton. While the city sprawls in all directions from the kraton, the core of the modern city is to the north.
Yogyakarta is served by Adisucipto International Airport. There are two train stations: Lempuyangan and Yogyakarta (also called Tugu station). Yogyakarta is considered one of the major hubs that links the west-east main railway route in Java island. To the south, in the Bantul region, is the Giwangan bus station, the largest bus station in Indonesia. The centre of metropolitan Yogyakarta is surrounded by a ring road.
Since 2008, Yogyakarta Special Region launched bus rapid transit system, the Trans Jogja, which connects many places in and around Yogyakarta city, including the airport and Prambanan temple.[8]
Yogyakarta is home to more than 100 institutions[9] of higher education in Indonesia, the highest number of higher education institutions of any province in Indonesia.
The Special Region is also the home of the first-established private university in Indonesia, the Islamic University of Indonesia, which was founded in 1945. The Indonesia Institute of Arts, the first-established university in fine arts, is also in the region..

REDMOND, Wash.--I'm not sure how much Microsoft's Live Search Cashback program will help Microsoft take share from Google, but I do find my brain grinding over the business model implications.
