Three things that stand out about the Denver Broncos are that for four decades, the Broncos have been winners, have been sold out at home, and have been united in orange.
The winning is in the record — owner Pat Bowlen needs just six wins to become the first NFL owner ever to have 300 wins in his first 30 years of ownership.
The sellout streak began with the first game of the 1970 season and is now in its 44th season, second in length only to that of the Washington Redskins.
But what about the orange?
A great and fitting marketing theme is "United in Orange," and the Washington game on October 27 has officially been designated as the United in Orange game for 2013.
For a couple of years we also had "Orange Ride," when fans were encouraged not only to wear orange but to ride their bikes to the game — this will remain an encouraged concept for the October 27 game this year.
But how and when did it all begin?
The Broncos' first predominate team colors were brown and yellow (mustard, really), and the orange and blue were not adopted until 1962 when Head Coach and General Manager Jack Faulkner took command and decided to give the team a new image.
But fans did not start wearing orange and dressing like every Sunday was Halloween.
There was no indication of the upcoming orange epidemic until the 1971 season.
That was the year which opened with a 10-10 tie game here vs. the Miami Dolphins — the famous "half a loaf" game. Head Coach Lou Saban played for the tie and postgame said, "Half a loaf is better than none."
Saban was in the fifth year of his 10-year contract as coach and general manager and disenchantment had set in. The natives were restless and some of them were getting downright hostile.
When Denver lost to Green Bay, Kansas City and Oakland, garbage was being dumped on Saban's lawn by a few misguided souls who thought they were Bronco fans.
That is when Charlie Goldberg, Denver businessman (owner of The Barnett Company) and long-time fan and Quarterback Club member, launched a counterattack in the name of basic decency and in support of coach and team. What followed is one of the great off-the-field moments in Denver Broncos history.
He went out and bought every piece of orange cloth he could find in Denver and Sam Mandelbaum of Karman Western Apparel agreed to cut them into manageable size pieces.
"We had enough to give maybe 35,000 fans in the crowd of 51,000 a piece of orange cloth to display that day," Charlie recalled to me many times. "We beat the Chargers 20-16, won the next week in Cleveland and Dave Costa and Floyd Little made it a point to say how much the support had meant to the team. You might say a tradition was born," Charlie said.
Yes, Charlie, you might say so.
Tradition did not save Lou Saban, however, whose frustration was such that he resigned at season's end. Still, his contribution here and at other pro football stops was enough that he is on the Pro Football Hall of Fame preliminary ballot for 2014.
But the next orange push surfaced before the sixth game of the 1973 season, for Denver's first ever Monday Night Football television game against, of course, the Oakland Raiders.
Goldberg, then the Quarterback Club president, went to Denver Mayor Bill McNichols and asked him to proclaim the game as "Orange Monday." The mayor had a strong Irish Catholic background, so the color orange was not part of Mayor Bill's heritage growing up, but he chuckled with Charlie and went along with the request.
And Denver tied the Raiders on Jim Turner's field goal, 23-23, in one of the most seminal games ever played in the Mile High City.
By 1973 the fans were becoming used to "Orange Sunday/Monday," and Goldberg ended many of his public events with the rallying cry of "Big Orange….how sweet it is!"
When the Denver defense became one of the game's best in 1977, the theme of "Orange Crush" caught on, and that is sometimes in use even to this day.
And of course, we are now led by the greatest quarterback of his and many other generations, Peyton Manning, who went to the University of Tennessee, where the rallying cry of "Go, Big Orange" is a staple at Volunteers games.
So as we continue, United in Orange, the next time a friend or relative says, "How did all this orange stuff start?", you won't be at a loss for the accurate answer.
Big Orange…..How Sweet it Is.

I call eskibob abuse! How could you chainsaw those poor defenseless eskibobs? How would you like it if those eskibobs starting shooting those stupid baby seals? (see how I reversed the controversy around the first game?) Hehe. Game play was fun but did in fact get boring fairly fast.

Rochester's ridiculous banned book controversy
A book about same-sex parenting creates an uproar when it gets banned from a Minnesota library VIDEO
Topics: LGBT, Education, Life News
One of the American Library Association's most challenged books of the last decade has disappeared from yet another library. It's a tome that topped the ALA's list last year, and has made waves ever since its publication. Yet the book that so concerned a Rochester-area parent that the public school system there yanked it earlier this month wasn't Lauren Myracle's gritty, haunting "Shine." It wasn't Suzanne Collins' intense, violent Mockingjay series. It was a picture book about a penguin family. Hide your kids!
"And Tango Makes Three" is the gentle tale of Roy and Silo, two penguins from the Central Park Zoo who "built a nest of stones" and "every night they slept there together, just like the other penguin couples." Soon, the narrative finds Roy and Silo taking turns sitting on an egg provided by a helpful zookeeper, and hatching and raising their baby Tango. It's a story of love and family and adoption. Oh, and there's just one other thing. As authors Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell explain it, those "two penguins in the penguin house were a little bit different. Roy and Silo were both boys."
Making matters even more shocking, "And Tango Makes Three" isn't just some fanciful, gay-agenda fairy tale cooked up to indoctrinate our children. It's based on the real story of Central Park penguins Roy and Silo, who made headlines in 2004 with their same-sex-oriented love affair and eventual hatching of another penguin couple's egg. Gay penguins, in fact, are pairing off in zoos all over North America lately. Probably just to spite Rick Santorum.
This latest banning began last fall, when a Gibbs elementary school parent got wind of the book about those two flightless birds and their ability to nurture a chick, deemed it "inappropriate for elementary school students," and asked to have it removed from the school library. The district's Committee for Reconsideration of Resources deemed the book suitable to remain on the shelves and rejected the request.

Super Mario World Guitar/Vocal Multitrack
Seen here conveniently screencapped to look like a headless guitar solo, two ghost bj's and a dirty secret being told, Youtubers Trudbol (vocals) & SongeLeReveur (guitar) combine their efforts on an acoustic medley of Super Mario Word ditties. It's actually pretty good, just not in a Geekologie Writerly kind of way. You see, I only sing one way and one way only: while smoking a cigar, chugging unfiltered whiskey (that shit's got chunks in it) and waving a gun around at anybody unfortunate enough to be caught in the shower with me.

Btw I'm so WHIPPED; my girlfriend is gonna buy me a leash (:
Ps- Celeste & Stefan can SMD<33
Ask me anything
If narhwals exist, unicorns exist. If unicorns exist, fairies have to exist. If fairies exist, leprechauns and trolls exist. If leprechauns and trolls exist, bigfoot exists. If bigfoot exists, chupacabra exists. If you chupacabra exists, werewolves exist. And if werewolves exist, so do vampires. Unicorns do exist.
People are a unique case. The people you think you know you don't actually know until you've seen them do it all. Its not a pretty sight most of the time. As a matter of fact it's usually a repulsive sight. How we deal with it? Sad to say but we just stop caring.
Lord, I haven't been on this shithole in months. Anywho life. What the hell is it? Life is like a storybook but it doesn't have a happy ending. Its a bundle of pages that constnatly does one of these —— :$1&8/0,9(8hshqiwoeogocjxbsqhqo$/91929495?9,$$helwpeovofofoeps. Aka: A piece of shit that rambles all over the place, just like emotions. Emotions are like an extract of hell itself. They switch around constnatly and its perhaps the most annoying thing in life. Anywho life, this big ass book that keeps flipping pages. What about it? Its ridiculous. One moment in the book everythings dandy, then the next page some drunk bitch dies. Why is it so damn complex? Why cant it all just be simple without any problems? Why do emotions exist? Why is everything so fucking complex? Here's a possibility, because maybe reality isnt like the movies say it is. Maybe people need to open their minds and realize they gotta wake the fuck up before they get robbed. Welcome to the real world everybody. This shit only gets worse the older we get. Have fun with life.
So i decided to use tumblr for what it was originally made for. Writing whats on your mind. Well as of now I just want to go under the covers and sleep. Except I wish i wouldnt have to wake up. To be honest, they say life's to short, and it is. But you know what? It doesn't matter, because the nice guy always finishes last anyway, or so it seems. It sucks to not have it your way, but hey who said this was BK anyway? Meh anyways live life everyone, and when your feeling down….honestly i dont know what to tell you…..just wait it out.

JUPITER, Fla. --Shelby Miller's and Joe Kelly's next opportunities to make impressions will be Tuesday.
Miller will start and Kelly will follow when the St. Louis Cardinals play Miami at Roger Dean Stadium. The team will be idle Wednesday, meaning there would likely be just one more spring assignment, probably March 26, for Miller and Kelly.
Miller and Kelly are competing for the fifth-starter's job, and manager Mike Matheny isn't yet showing his hand. Kelly had seemed to gain the upper hand last week, but with Miller getting another start, it's apparent he hasn't been ruled out.
If the Cardinals select Miller as the fifth starter, Kelly could slide into the bullpen as a long reliever at the big-league level.
If Kelly earns the starter's job, it's not likely Miller would remain with the major-league club since the Cardinals would prefer he gather starts, accumulate innings and gain more experience at Class AAA Memphis.
Freese better
Third baseman David Freese missed his third straight game with lingering back sorness.
Freese said Sunday morning that the back felt better than it did Saturday and that he will not undergo an MRI.
"I feel good," Freese said. "Obviously, this thing's going to heal up. It's just a muscle thing. The tailbone is bruised a little bit, but everything's intact. I have my motion. I just need to get the aggravation out. The important date is April 1 when we get going. So we'll be good."
Freese lifted weights and participated in on-field drills before the game Sunday. He has not targeted a return date.
"We'll see," he said. "I'm just going to take it day by day. The back is an important thing, so we're going to make sure it's all right."
Freese and Matheny are on the same page.
"It's spring training, so we're being cautious," Matheny said.
Adams waiting, hoping
First baseman Matt Adams has no idea which direction the Cardinals are leaning about what his role will be this season.
Adams could be in St. Louis as a backup first baseman and pinch-hitter or he could find himself back in Memphis.
"I feel good this spring," Adams said Sunday before the Cardinals lost to Miami 6-0. "I'm having some pretty good ABs and playing pretty good defense. I'll take on whatever role the club wants me to take on, whether it's going back down to Memphis and get my ABs regularly or come off the bench as a late-inning hitter (in St. Louis).
"Whatever they have in mind for me, I'll do."
Adams, 24, is batting .308 (12-for-39) with two home runs and eight RBIs in 16 games this spring. He batted .329 with 22 doubles, 18 homers and 50 RBIs in 67 games last year at Memphis.
Adams underwent season-ending right-elbow surgery Aug. 14 to remove bone spurs. He had a 27-game stint with the Cardinals from May 20 to June 21 after Lance Berkman's knee injury, batting .244 (21-for-86) with six doubles, two homers and 13 RBIs.
"I've just got to continue to keep going out daily and getting my work in and trying to get better each day," Adams said. "If I do make that roster, I'll be ready for that role."
Adams also understands he could be used as trade bait if the Cardinals determine they need to make a move to shore up the middle infield. He's open to anything.
"There are a lot of rumors floating around out there," Adams said. "Right now, that's all there is. I've got to keep my head on straight and continue to go about my business the way I have been. If I get a phone call saying I've been traded, then I go with that team that picked me up. If not, then I stay here and try to contribute to this team. ... You've got to go with the flow."
Lynn labors
Lance Lynn started against Miami on Sunday and was charged with five runs (earned) and nine hits in 3 2/3 innings. Lynn walked two and struck out one.
The Marlins did most of their damage in the third when they sent eight batters to the plate and score three runs on five hits.
"It was just one of those days where everything that was put in play was a hit," Lynn said. "When I jammed a guy, it was a hit. When I threw a bad pitch, it was a hit.
"It was one of those things where I had good movement. I just didn't exactly get the pitch where I wanted it to be today. The luxury I have is I've got two more (starts) until things start mattering."
Lynn is 1-3 with a 7.50 ERA in four spring starts, and he's allowed 20 hits in 12 innings, with three walks and five strikeouts.
Boggs in form
Reliever Mitchell Boggs pitched a scoreless seventh in his first game since returning from the World Baseball Classic.
"I felt good," Boggs said. "My command was good, my 'splittie' was good, my breaking ball was good. It's good to be back."
Boggs began throwing the splitter last season, but said it's a more effective weapon than it has been in the past.
"It's definitely a pitch I'm going to be conscious of as far as using it as a weapon," he said. "I think it's going to enhance what I'm wanting to do. It's a grip that's gotten comfortable for me and I'll let it ride."
More cuts
After the game Sunday, right-handed pitcher Keith Butler and infielder Ryan Jackson were optioned to Memphis. Left-hander John Gast was reassigned to minor-league camp.
The Cardinals' roster stands at 40 players with two weeks to go before Opening Day.

In 1926, J. B. Chapman launched The Preacher's Magazine as "a journal devoted to the interests of those called to preach the full gospel." He went on to describe, in his first editorial, that this magazine was never intended to serve only Nazarenes, but be open to all preacher's in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition. "The central purpose will be to help preachers to preach holiness effectively where they are...," wrote Chapman.
At the time he wrote this editorial, Chapman could not have imagined 40,000 Nazarene clergy globally, or the number of languages and cultures that would impact their preaching, and most certainly, he could not have begun to grasp the technology that would make instant international communication with these pastors possible. We now have a unique opportunity to provide a resource to and a dialogue between pastors across six global regions and countless languages and cultures.
Several years ago, Preacher's Magazine stopped being printed and mailed to pastors in the USA/Canada. In recent years, this publication has brought the best resources from past issues. With the launch of this issue, Preacher's Magazine will not only begin generating new content again, but it will seek contributions from all six global regions, play a role in writer development, and seek sermons and resources in a wide range of languages - all to be shared globally with the ever increasing online community and within this ever changing technological environment. In addition, a downloadable version will be available for those who prefer to read a hardcopy - or have limited access to the Internet.
These are real sermons written by real Wesleyan-Holiness preachers, who get their hands dirty weekly in the messiness of practical ministry in pulpits around the globe, yet proclaim holiness with clean hearts. They are not academic exercises in perfecting the sermon. They are the product of hardworking pastors (many bi-vocational) from a cross-section of preachers through the international network of Nazarene congregations, who weekly work out the best possible way to preach the gospel to their congregation in cultural context.
You may read a sermon and think - I could never preach that to my people, or in that style - it isn't me - my congregation wouldn't understand it. Then you may read another sermon that completely resonates with you and your present situation, when just before you flip to the next sermon, you read something that sparks an idea in your own process that will encourage you in your journey to find the best way to preach to the congregation that God and the church have entrusted to your care.

Smart bias for supercalendar paper machine mix tank
The mix tank for a paper machine is the last point in the process where you can stabilize the consistency of the stock and the relative proportions of the various constituents of the stock. In the case of the supercalendar machine at the Port Hawkesbury site in Nova Scotia, Canada, there were three fresh feeds to the mix tank: thermal mechanical pulp, kraft, and kaolin clay. There were two types of recycled feed: recovered fiber and broke. The operator defined the proportions of all the constituents except the recovered fiber, which you must process as you make it.
The startup configuration included a proportional-integral (PI) gap controller for the mix tank. The idea with the gap controller was to have a low gain around the set-point and higher gain away from the set-point. The time constant for the tank was approximately five to six minutes, depending on the production rate. So there was not much time to react to any disturbance. The controller worked well for periods of time but would then begin a standing wave behavior, which could last for hours or even days. This cycling impacted the performance of the paper machine since cycling of the feed meant cycling of the consistency control, which meant cycling of the basis weight of the paper we produced.
To solve the cycling problem, we introduced a proportional-only (P-only) level controller. We installed a high-level cutoff on the recovered fiber flow to avoid overflows at the mix tank. Because we installed a high shutoff for each inlet flow to the mix tank, it was possible to open up the proportional band to more than 50% (i.e.: reduce the gain of the controller) and get very good response. Widening the proportional band introduced an off-set unacceptable to the operations group, particularly for such an important tank.
To eliminate most of the off-set, we introduced a smart bias. Using over two years worth of data from past machine performance, we developed a correlation of mix tank controller output versus feed flow to the paper machine and implemented it as the smart bias generator. We had to heavily filter the feed signal before using it as the smart bias. The results were good; the mix tank controlled with little off-set. Because there were no more instances of sustained cycle, the level controller actually controlled to set-point much better with the P-only controller than it did with the PI controller.

ABC News and the Washington Post split the costs of a national poll that runs on an occasional basis. The latest version took a snapshot of public opinion from March 10-13.
Question No. 10 was particularly interesting:
"As far as the future is concerned, thinking about our system of government and how well it works - is this something you feel generally optimistic about, generally pessimistic about, or uncertain about?"
Only 26 percent were optimistic. Another 23 percent were pessimistic.
ABC News reported that the optimism level has never been lower in the poll, which dates to August 1974.
That is remarkable considering all the bad times we have had over the last 36 years.
In August 1974, Richard Nixon resigned as president in disgrace, the Vietnam War was lost, and the rate of inflation was 10.9 percent as the economy hit an iceberg.
Still, 55 percent of Americans were optimistic and only 15 percent were pessimistic. As I recall, people felt that Nixon's resignation showed that the system worked.
Or consider February 1983, when unemployment hit 10.4 percent.
Optimism was at 51 percent, pessimism at 21 percent.
President Reagan would not allow the American people to get down on themselves.
Or consider January 2008, when Americans were sick of the wars and sick of President Bush. Optimism was much higher - 44 percent - than pessimism, which stood at 23 percent.
Looking at the numbers, I noticed that the pessimists remain about the same at 22 percent or so in each poll.
I also noticed that optimism is usually around 50 percent, never falling below 44 percent until last October, when it fell to 33 percent.
Uncertainty was never higher than 33 percent for 36 years until last October, when it rose to 46 percent. It is at 49 percent today.
What's going on?
We are more uncertain today than at any time going back to the era of President Ford.
All this talk about the worst recession since the Great Depression is smug nonsense aimed at self-pity.

Nikkah?? HELP!
Jul 08, 2010 04:09 PM »
Ok this is a new story:
Boy meets girl. Girl meets boy. (in the halal way ofcourse - intro'd by parents, with the whole family present).
Boy likes Girl. Girl likes Boy. They both agree and have the same views on nearly everything.
Now all the hadeeth say to not delay the nikkah and that the best walima is the smallest walima. (Not exact qoutes but thats jist of it right?)
and that the 'engagement' has NO islamic value?
So both the boy and girl want barakth in their marriage and new lifes and want to do everything the halal way. This includes ALWAY ensuring there is a third person, doing the nikkah soon, and having a small walima.
Now the parents want a BIG desi (paki n indian) walima. They want an engagement in august and then a nikkah and walima on the same day/weekend in APRIL!!!!!
Boy and girl have convinced their parents to cut out all the music and dancing of females infront of males BUT they still want a big walima (both are eldest children, and its also an only son). and they want the nikkah in NINE MONTHS. not realising the impact this actually has.
Most of the people we've spoken to have advised that we do the enagment in august (like our parents want) and then the nikkah in november (most convinent time and also meets the parents half way) and then the walima in april.
Does anyone have any advice/ help?
Or been in a similar situation?
we both DEFINATLY do not want to argue with our parents as thats a greater sin, but is their any easy way of explaining??

I'm assuming you're the guy...
Anyway... try to convince your parents to eliminate the engagement step and do the nikkah plus big shaadi shebang.... maybe in November instead of April... because that does seem quite far off...
Now the thing is... do both parties live abroad or does the girl's family actually live in Pakistan - I know sometimes the paperwork takes a while - so it would have to be factored in.
Anyway, you know the situation best... speaking from experience, don't be too rigid in what you want - you have to factor in your parents' wishes.... and it'll probably ALSO add barakah to your marriage, inshaAllah... (as long as they aren't asking you to do something haram - like a mehndi)...
My husband basically drew a solid line pre-marriage.. no talking unless we were nikkahfied (I'm convinced he wouldn't have actually followed through... but we'll never know, will we?) ..... SOOOO.... our nikkah happened in a week's time... and the big shaadi thing happened 5 months later... again, it was a paperwork issue... I needed my Saudi visa. I think I would have preferred an engagement and then a nikkah+walima... and heck! I would have been ok not talking to him too
My parents were totally prepared to have a simple wedding... but my husband's side... (only son and oldest kid situation here too)... had a 5000 person guest list.... in retrospect, I REALLY wish I had made some unilateral decisions (similar to my husband's no-talking rule) about things like the mehndi (which was important to me before the event)... but I'm sort of chill like that... (and to this day, my mother-in-law insists that I wanted the mehndi, to which all I can do is raise an eyebrow)
I will also add here.... our nikkah ceremony with our closest family and friends (at my parents' house)... was the BEST event we had... it was peaceful and serene and just absolutely beautiful in its simplicity....
All the other events (yes we had a mehndi - and it was ridiculous because no one in my family sings or dances, which made my husband's side upset because the mehndi was 'almost a nightmare because it was very boring' - reception and walima)... just made people fight. I was mad about my clothes (given to me by the other side, which did not meet my simple parameters of "FULL SLEEVES PLEASE"), my husband was upset about the decor, my father-in-law had a fight with the photographer (and my father, which made me seriously upset, because my father is the most docile person I know... but then FIL is the most aggressive person I know... so I understand it was his natural instinct to vent somewhere and somehow)... to name a FEW....
In the grand scheme of things... I just want to forget it ever happened.... because it leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth (i think my blood pressure just rose thinking about it during the process of typing this out)... and I only want to remember the serenity of the evening of the nikkah....
On that note, I hope your experience is wonderful though, inshaAllah... hahaha...
So in answer to your questions....I agree.... don't argue with your parents.... it will really make you feel bad afterwards... not to mention the sin. But maybe you can discuss your SIMPLIFIED rules... like don't get into nitty gritties... but just basic essential things (like the time period).... and have your parents bring it up to the girl's family.
Btw... I do think the wedding kind of foreshadows things to come...the more complicated you make your wedding, the more room there is for disaster...
All the best, inshaAllah.

Btw.... we had also requested a similar time period.... engagement in October, nikkah in February, and then walima thing in the summer....
The legitimate reason for this was that my father was still recovering from a triple bypass surgery in August and my sister was getting divorced at the time and fighting an ugly custody battle and couldn't leave the US to attend my wedding, and my mom was constantly flying between the US and Pakistan.... so we truly needed the time and space...
All I can say is, may Allah reward my parents for their patience and understanding....
Anyway, the point is, even going through all of that, my parents' TOTALLY respected my husband's request, because the basis for it was religious...
So you may be surprised at the result you get just by approaching this the right way

I agree with Sr. JustOne advise, Mashallah.
(as long as they aren't asking you to do something haram - like a mehndi)...
Really ? Are you talking about mix dancing etc in any gathering or just the function Mehndi ?

Well... it's just MY opinion that a mehndi is haraam....
Simply because the purpose of a mehndi is TO dance and TO sing and to take part in those customs which have definite hindu roots... somehow doesn't sit well with me.
I know people have different opinions about this... I'm just raising the one I agree with most.

I'm lost in what your asking?
Are you saying your parents are waiting too long to do a nikkah? I think it will be okay, nine months will fly by inshAllah..
what else big walima? The more people you iinvte to celebrate and feed, I'm thinking more reward..

Changing settlement rules might offer a fix for broken power markets.
Before consumers endure yet another summer of tenuous reliability and high electricity prices, perhaps it is time to consider changing the rules of the game. One such rule is the common practice in regional electricity spot markets whereby the last (highest) accepted supply bid sets the clearing price for all generators. Does this practice, known as a "uniform price auction," make spot markets more vulnerable to anti-competitive behavior and the abuse of market power?
In fact, some experts have suggested that the likelihood of market power abuse depends, to some degree, on the settlement rule used to determine payments in wholesale auctions. They suggest that the exercise of market power is likely when auctions adopt uniform pricing-i.e., "last bid sets price"-in a market with high demand and low supply. 1# The analysis I offer here appears to confirm this theory. More importantly, my analysis suggests that a "discriminatory price auction"i.e., "pay according to bid"might offer a better approach for reducing prices in bulk power markets.
This article evaluates both types of auction settlement rules: (1) "last bid sets price," by which the last offer accepted determines the price paid to all participants; and (2) the "pay as bid" model, by which each participant is paid the amount bid by that party. By modeling the markets for energy and various ancillary services in a large control area, it is demonstrated that under conditions of market power, substantial revenues with commensurately high profits can be commanded under a "last bid sets price" price auction.
By contrast, by employing a "pay as bid" price rule, much of the impact of market power can be ameliorated. In addition, a "pay as bid" price auction, by virtue of requiring each bidder to explicitly state their desired revenue rate, is more transparent and more readily exposes attempts to make use of strategic pricing and market power. By discouraging the use of market power through greater price visibility, "pay as bid" price auctions also may reduce instances of strategic capacity withholding, which in turn, should enhance overall system reliability.
Settlement Rules: A Look At Theory
The trading of electricity in today's open market is coordinated by an entity that seeks to match buyers (i.e., loads) and sellers (i.e., generators). That entity may take the form of a power exchange, as in California, and/or an independent system operator (ISO), as found in many states. In addition to serving as matchmaker for electrical energy consumers and suppliers, the ISO also must ensure that the overall grid system remains stable, responsive, and reliable in the face of unexpected events such as an immediate plant outage (trip). To do so requires the commitment of generation assets that must stand ready to react to system changes. These activities, referred to as ancillary services, 2 have been defined such that they, too, can be procured in a competitive market environment. Thus, suppliers have multiple, interdependent markets in which they can choose to participate.
In its simplest form, an auction is conducted for energy

What: Scott Foppiano performs to the silent movie, "Ben-Hur"
When: 7 p.m. Friday
Where: Forrest Burdette United Methodist Church, Hurricane
Cost: $10 for adults, $5 for students
Info: 304-562-5903
Most Sundays you will find Scott Foppiano behind the organ at his home church. St. Vincent de Paul in Kansas City, Mo., where he also serves as choirmaster.
Yet Foppiano welcomes the challenge and chance to play great organs in other cities and particularly to show a bit of the instrument's secular side.
Friday night, he'll visit Forrest Burdette United Methodist Church in Hurricane, where he'll perform music during a screening of the 1925 silent movie version of "Ben-Hur," the historical drama set in ancient Rome.
It's a return to days of old, when orchestras were employed to play for the silent movies.
"There was an orchestral score for the movies and there were organ cue sheets," Foppiano said. "In the bigger, deluxe theaters, the organ would play along with the orchestra during the movies. And then, after so many showings, just the organist would play."
Foppiano said because organists had cue sheets rather than full sheet music scores, they had latitude with the music. It also requires special proficiency.
"I discovered I had a knack for it," he said.
Performing for a movie requires a lot of stamina. In the case of "Ben-Hur," the movie lasts two and a half hours. Even with an intermission, that's a lot of continued playing time for an organist who likely is accustomed to playing four or five hymns during a church service.
"But the biggest challenge is that as you are playing, you have to be able to watch the screen and control the organ as an instrument," Foppiano said.
"My biggest trick is to know the film and to know what's coming next."

A federal judge has sentenced a man who hacked into the personal online accounts of Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis and other women to 10 years in prison.
U.S. District Judge S. James Otero sentenced Christopher Chaney on Monday in Los Angeles.
Chaney pleaded guilty to nine felony counts, including wiretapping and unauthorized access to a computer.
The biggest spectacle in the case was the revelation that nude photos taken by Johansson herself and meant for her then-husband Ryan Reynolds were placed on the Internet.
Chaney also targeted women he knew, sending nude pictures of a former co-worker to her father.

With the proliferation of mobile channels comes an increased desire to recognize the customer at every touch point. QR code scanner, mobile or desktop site visitor, app downloader, email/SMS subscriber, fan, follower, pinner, reviewer, or store visitor - the customer is interacting with our brands, and we want to know about it.
Methods to date have been covert and disjointed. Each channel or tactic has its own metrics and claims some credit for purchase even though we know they are interdependent. Opportunities to create synergy abound but are untapped.
Customers quickly turn away from mobile experiences with too much friction - non-optimized sites, weak payoffs, disjointed customer service, too many fields to enter, etc.
The key is to give the customer a reason to allow us to connect the dots, and a robust loyalty program does just that. If I have a compelling reason to self-identify with every interaction, and can do so easily, I'm in. Phones allow customers to store their information and do away with those aggravating stacks of cards. The more information we can store - securely - the more frictionless the customer experience. How much more likely would a customer be to purchase on a mobile device if most of the checkout information were pre-filled?
While ease of mobile checkout is important, so is promoting purchase in-store and combating showrooming. A loyalty program gives the customer a reason to self-identify, without the need for geo-fencing. With all dots connected, the merchant can deliver a personalized incentive to stay and shop. Rather than offer the same discount/points/service to all, the incentive can be tailored to the customer's interests and value. Delivered via mobile, the personal message avoids alienating non-members, who are instead invited to join.
The concept of value exchange - I'll provide personal information in exchange for something I value - is critical. We want all customer information "in the cloud" for instant, easy access, so we need to provide a reason to put it there in the first place. Loyalty points supply the reason. Enter and tell us the basics: 10 points. Follow us, fan us, pin us: five points. Review your purchase: eight points. Check in or sign in: three points. Download our app: 20 points. Text to get today's special: four points. Store your payment information and shipping address: 25 points.
As Barry Kirk points out in "Earn, Burn and Yearn: A New Paradigm for Loyalty Marketing," loyalty programs have focused too much on the burn, or redemption of points. Focusing on earning, through the examples above, and yearning, the desire to belong to a group with common interests, yields "an authentic customer engagement program that's based on relevance and relationships."
On that note, a program with a customer-centric name and identity is best. The customer should feel like an enthusiast, not a number. A "Super Saver," a "Foodie," an "Intrepid Traveler," not an "Our Program Rewards Member."
Another important aspect of loyalty programs is that they put the customer in control. Customers know what data they have provided, so personalized offers and information are expected and welcome.
Delivering on this expectation, however, is a significant hurdle. As much as we want to acquire big data, its effective application is surprisingly scarce. As my company found in "Retail Touchpoints Exposed!" an analysis of the top 100 U.S. retailers, 79 percent didn't personalize email content following an online purchase and 95 percent didn't after an in-store purchase. Only 22 percent sent abandoned cart messages, despite their proven dramatic return on investment (ROI).
It's incredibly easy to say, "Ahh, the joys of being a consultant," but legacy data systems and functional silos must be overcome. Quick wins and one-off tactics are not creating the data nirvana and mobile channel we all envision. We need big thinking, tight collaboration, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. We need game changers. (Read Walter Isaacson's "Steve Jobs" for inspiration.) Let's keep our eye on the prize: relevant, permission-based, channel-agnostic marketing, delivered to loyal customers.

Early Life
Taylor Daniel Lautner was born on February 11, 1992, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He has one sibling: a sister named Makena. Lautner is best known as an actor in the role of Jacob Black in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight movie series.
Lautner began studying karate at the age of six, and began winning tournaments within a year. After, Lautner began training with seven-time world karate champion Mike Chat. In 2004, at the age of 12, Taylor represented the United States in the 12 years and under division in the World Karate Association. Lautner went on to win the Junior World Forms and Weapons championship during the competition, as well as three gold medals. In 2003, Taylor Lautner was ranked No. 1 in the world for NASKA's Black Belt Open Forms, Musical Weapons, Traditional Weapons and Traditional Forms. By the age of 12, Lautner had won three Junior World Championships.
Foray into Show Business
Taylor Lautner got his show business start at the age of seven, when he auditioned for a part in a Burger King advertisement in Los Angeles, which he did not get. He would continue to audition, unsuccessfully, for other roles over the next three years. At the age of 10, Taylor and his family relocated to Los Angeles in order to pursue his acting career. Since then, he has landed roles on television shows My Wife and Kids and The Bernie Mac Show in 2001, and Summerland and The Nick & Jessica Variety Hour in 2004.
In addition to acting, Lautner also did voiceover work during this time. He landed a recurring voice role as Youngblood on the cartoon Danny Phantom and recorded two episodes on What's New, Scooby-Doo? and He's a Bully, Charlie Brown. He is also a series regular on Which Way Is Up? and as the voice of Silas on Silas and Britany.
Commercial Breakthrough
Lautner got his big break when he landed the role of Shark Boy in The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D. The film was a full-length feature directed by the famous Robert Rodriguez. Lautner spent nearly three months on location for the film in Austin, Texas. Months after wrapping his first film, Lautner auditioned and won the part of Eliot, the son in Steve Martin's family in Cheaper by the Dozen 2. The film was released in 2005.

Lemon Surprise Cheesecake Recipe
- 1-1/2 cups crushed lemon cream-filled sandwich cookies
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 5 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
- Combine the cookie crumbs and sugar; stir in butter. Press onto the bottom of a lightly greased 9-in. springform pan. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until crust just begins to brown. Cool pan on a wire rack.
- In a large saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in water until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolks; return all to pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Gently stir in the lemon juice, butter and peel. Cool to room temperature without stirring.
- In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over lemon juice; let stand for 1 minute. Heat over low heat, stirring until gelatin is dissolved. Remove from the heat.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar. Gradually beat in gelatin mixture until combined. Fold in the whipped cream and lemon peel.
- Spoon three-fourths of cheesecake mixture into crust; build up edges slightly. Chill for 5 minutes. Spoon lemon filling over cheesecake layer to within 1/2 in of edges. Top with remaining cheesecake mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Carefully run a knife around edge of pan; remove sides of pan. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 12 servings.

every one who tries it loves it it always makes a good impression
Turns out I WILL make this again. The amount of work required was justified by this outstanding dessert. The "quick"category is misleading though because of the many steps involved.
Absolutely NOTHING quick about this recipe. My lemon centre is just a big yellow glob. It's in the fridge setting now. Unless the taste blows me away, this is too much work to justify making it again.
This is without a doubt the best lemon cheesecake I've ever made. I've made this several times for different venues and groups of people and friends and they have all raved about it. It has the true flavor of a really good lemon meringue pie coupled with the creamy texture that a really good cheesecake has. The flavor is out of this world. All the components are right on, the flavor--the right amount of lemon and sweet, the texture--creamy but stands up well when cut, and eye appeal--it's really quite impressive when you cut through it and see the layer of lemon curd in the middle. The only change I make to this recipe is I do not add the 2 Tbls of sugar to the crust as I feel the sweetness of the lemon sandwich cookies to be adequate without adding the extra sugar. This is a truly great recipe. Thanks Karen for sharing it with us.
I took two of these to a party that I thought was going to have more people there than where actually there. And both pies got eaten. They were a HUGE hit. I could not find lemon sandwich cookies, so I just made a clasic graham cracker crust (the honey maid website has a good recipe; be sure to bake it and cool it before putting the cheese cake in).
