Deadly Wives: Season 1: Episode 6 -- In the all-American town of Edgewood, Kentucky, Stephen and Adele Craven fit right in. He's a commercial airline pilot, and she's a stay-at-home mom with two adorable kids. Though they've been together for more than a decade, things aren't perfect.
Adele has been eating cushions for years and now realizes it is out of control.
BROTHERS is a comedy about a former NFL hot shot who learns that even though you can always go home again, doing so might be more difficult than you think. MIKE TRAINOR (Michael Strahan) seemingly has it all - he's a good-looking, wealthy and recently retired NFL player living the high life in New York City, but he's about to get sidelined. When Mike gets a phone call from his mom, ADELE (CCH Pounder), who orders him home to Houston, he quickly realizes that the more his life has changed, the more his family has stayed the same. His brother CHILL (Daryl Chill Mitchell), whose life changed drastically after a car accident left him in a wheelchair, is struggling to keep Trainor's, his sports-themed restaurant, afloat. Even though the publicity from his famous brother might help business, Chill doesn't want help from Mike. The rivalry between the brothers is exactly the same as they were when they were kids. If they can stop their bickering, put aside their differences and learn to be teammates, Mike and Chill might just turn out to be each other's biggest asset. Wedged between Mike and Chill are their parents. Their father, whom everyone refers to as COACH (Carl Weathers), is the local high school football coach and the conservative, opinionated alpha male of his clan. Coach thinks he runs the show, but it's actually Adele who calls the shots. Saucy, stern and a schemer, she is the mastermind behind this family. And when she learns that Mike's business manager took off with all his money, she orchestrates a plan to keep Mike in Houston, save Chill's restaurant and bring the family back together under one roof again. Adele's plan helps Mike realize that his family - however dysfunctional they may be - is the only one he's got. And although he may not have a penny to his name, as long as he's surrounded by people who love him, he'll always be a rich man.
A list has been released that reveals the richest stars under the age of thirty in the United Kingdom. While some of the people who made the list are obvious picks, there are some that are surprising. The One Direction boys topped the list making them the richest young stars in the U.K. The boybanders barely beat out Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe. Coming in at number three on the list is Robert Pattinson, followed by Kiera Knightley and Emma Watson. Other music stars that made the list include Adele, Leona Lewis and Calvin Harris. And also earning big money are actors Emily Blunt, Rupert Grint, Andrew Garfield and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

Joan Rivers is known for speaking her mind, but she may have taken things a bit too far in her recent comments about Adele.
The trend of so-called "hate-watching" is hardly a new TV phenomenon. We've been doing it with the Oscar show for years: picking apart the fashions, groaning at the witless banter, griping as we drift through the seemingly endless midsection where no awards of major consequence are presented, and nearly always regarding the unlucky host as a piñata ripe for the bashing.
This year's tuneful but torturously overextended production (ending just past the three-and-a-half-hour mark) was much the same. With one major exception: The musical numbers were no joke, especially when mighty divas as legendary as Barbra Streisand and Shirley Bassey and as electrifyingly current as Adele and Jennifer Hudson took the stage. No Rob Lowe-Snow White fiascos this time.

5 Buy-Rated Dividend Stocks
Pepco Holdings
Dividend Yield: 4.80%Pepco Holdings (NYSE:POM) shares currently have a dividend yield of 4.80%. Pepco Holdings, Inc., through its subsidiaries, engages in the transmission, distribution, and supply of electricity. The company also distributes and supplies natural gas. The company has a P/E ratio of 18.11.The average volume for Pepco Holdings has been 2,017,800 shares per day over the past 30 days. Pepco Holdings has a market cap of $5.6 billion and is part of the utilities industry. Shares are up 15% year to date as of the close of trading on Thursday.TheStreet Ratings rates Pepco Holdings as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, increase in net income, good cash flow from operations, growth in earnings per share and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally high debt management risk by most measures that we evaluated.Highlights from the ratings report include:- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, reflecting both the market's overall trend during that period and the fact that the company's earnings growth has been robust. Looking ahead, unless broad bear market conditions prevail, we still see more upside potential for this stock, despite the fact that it has already risen over the past year.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Electric Utilities industry. The net income increased by 126.3% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $19.00 million to $43.00 million.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $173.00 million or 11.61% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, PEPCO HOLDINGS INC has also modestly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 5.75%.
- PEPCO HOLDINGS INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. However, we anticipate underperformance relative to this pattern in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, PEPCO HOLDINGS INC increased its bottom line by earning $1.24 versus $1.14 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 8.5% in earnings ($1.14 versus $1.24).
- POM, with its decline in revenue, underperformed when compared the industry average of 14.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 9.5%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.

Absalom Rebels against David
1Some time later, Absalom got himself a chariot with horses to pull it, and he had 50 men run in front. 2He would get up early each morning and wait by the side of the road that led to the city gate.#15.2 the city gate: Or "the entrance to the king's palace." Anyone who had a complaint to bring to King David would have to go that way, and Absalom would ask each of them, "Where are you from?"
If they said, "I'm from a tribe in the north," 3Absalom would say, "You deserve to win your case. It's too bad the king doesn't have anyone to hear complaints like yours. 4I wish someone would make me the judge around here! I would be fair to everyone."
5Whenever anyone came to Absalom and started bowing down, he would reach out and hug and kiss them. 6That's how he treated everyone from Israel who brought a complaint to the king. Soon everyone in Israel liked Absalom better than they liked David.
7Four years#15.7 Four years: The Hebrew text has "Forty years." later, Absalom said to David, "Please, let me go to Hebron. I have to keep a promise that I made to the Lord, 8when I was living with the Arameans in Geshur. I promised that if the Lord would bring me back to live in Jerusalem, I would worship him in Hebron."#15.8 in Hebron: Some manuscripts of one ancient translation; these words are not in the Hebrew text.
9David gave his permission, and Absalom went to Hebron. 10-12He took 200 men from Jerusalem with him, but they had no idea what he was going to do. Absalom offered sacrifices in Hebron and sent someone to Gilo to tell David's advisor Ahithophel to come.
More and more people were joining Absalom and supporting his plot. Meanwhile, Absalom had secretly sent some messengers to the northern tribes of Israel. The messengers told everyone, "When you hear the sound of the trumpets, you must shout, 'Absalom now rules as king in Hebron!' "
David Has To Leave Jerusalem
13A messenger came and told David, "Everyone in Israel is on Absalom's side!"
14David's officials were in Jerusalem with him, and he told them, "Let's get out of here! We'll have to leave soon, or none of us will escape from Absalom. Hurry! If he moves fast, he could catch us while we're still here. Then he will kill us and everyone else in the city."
15The officials said, "Your Majesty, we'll do whatever you say."
16-17David left behind ten of his wives#15.16,17 wives: See the note at 3.7. to take care of the palace, but the rest of his family and his officials and soldiers went with him.
They stopped at the last house at the edge of the city. 18Then David stood there and watched while his regular troops and his bodyguards#15.18 bodyguards: See the note at 8.18. marched past. The last group was the 600 soldiers who had followed him from Gath.#15.18 the 600 … Gath: These were Philistine soldiers who were loyal to David. Their commander was Ittai.
19David spoke to Ittai and said, "You're a foreigner from the town of Gath. You don't have to leave with us. Go back and join the new king! 20You haven't been with me very long, so why should you have to follow me, when I don't even know where I'm going? Take your soldiers and go back. I pray that the Lord will be#15.20 I pray … be: One ancient translation; these words are not in the Hebrew text. kind and faithful to you."
21Ittai answered, "Your Majesty, just as surely as you and the Lord live, I will go where you go, no matter if it costs me my life."
22"Then come on!" David said.
So Ittai and all his men and their families walked on past David.
David Sends the Sacred Chest Back to Jerusalem
23The people of Jerusalem were crying and moaning as David and everyone with him passed by. He led them across Kidron Valley#15.23 Kidron Valley: This was considered the eastern boundary of Jerusalem. and along the road toward the desert.
24Zadok and Abiathar the priests were there along with several men from the tribe of Levi who were carrying the sacred chest. They set the chest down, and left it there until David and his followers had gone out of the city.
25Then David said:
Zadok, take the sacred chest back to Jerusalem. If the Lord is pleased with me, he will bring me back and let me see it and his tent again. 26But if he says he isn't pleased with me, then let him do what he knows is best.
27Zadok, you are a good judge of things,#15.27 you … things: Or "You are a prophet" or "You are not a prophet." so return to the city and don't cause any trouble. Take your son Ahimaaz with you. Abiathar and his son Jonathan will also go back. 28I'll wait at the river crossing in the desert until I hear from you.
29Zadok and Abiathar took the sacred chest back into Jerusalem and stayed there. 30David went on up the slope of the Mount of Olives. He was barefoot and crying, and he covered his head to show his sorrow. Everyone with him was crying, and they covered their heads too.
31Someone told David, "Ahithophel is helping Absalom plot against you!"
David said, "Please, Lord, keep Ahithophel's plans from working!"
David Sends Hushai Back as a Spy
32When David reached the top of the Mount of Olives, he met Hushai the Archite#15.32 Archite: The Archites were part of the tribe of Benjamin (see Joshua 16.2). at a place of worship. Hushai's robe was torn, and dust was on his head.#15.32 Hushai's … head: See the note at 1.2. 33David told him:
If you come with me, you might slow us down.#15.33 you might slow us down: Hushai was probably very old. 34Go back into the city and tell Absalom, "Your Majesty, I am your servant. I will serve you now, just as I served your father in the past."
Hushai, if you do that, you can help me ruin Ahithophel's plans. 35Zadok and Abiathar the priests will be there with you, and you can tell them everything you hear in the palace. 36Then they can send their sons Ahimaaz and Jonathan to tell me what you've heard.
37David's advisor Hushai slipped back into Jerusalem, at just about the same time Absalom was coming in.

Upgrading your seatpost is often a simple way to lose weight from your bike without compromising performance – particularly if you splash out on a carbon version. Mountain bike seatposts – which can take a beating out on the trail – are often constructed from aluminium for strength, though we also sell carbon models, which can soak up vibration. If you need more cushioning or adjustability, there are also suspension seatposts, and remotely adjustable versions – also known as 'droppers' – which offer versatility. Meanwhile, choosing between an in-line post, and one with layback, can be a quick way to subtly change the riding position. Typically shorter, roadie seatposts are a simple affair, and are often made out of carbon for ultimate weight saving. We also have seatpost clamps, quick releases, shims and spares.

Officials are looking for a few good multitaskers to join the ranks at Kanawha County's Metro 911 Communications Center.
Metro Director John Rutherford hopes to hire eight new dispatchers before Jan. 1.
Rutherford said a few dispatchers have retired in recent months and that some vacant positions have been left empty. Those positions were left open to bring in new employees with the new Computer Aided Dispatch system, which dispatchers will begin using at the beginning of the year.
Rutherford, who previously served as chief deputy at the Kanawha Sheriff's Office and is running unopposed for sheriff, said the dispatchers' dedication is obvious.
Many logged long hours this summer when a devastating windstorm swept the state. Some didn't have power at their own homes, but came in day after day to help others.
"The people here are just as dedicated to their jobs as the men and women serving as first responders in the field," Rutherford said. "It's just as stressful up here but it's also just as rewarding."
To say the job is intense is an understatement.
Dispatchers answered more than 520,000 total calls last year and have answered more than 92,000 emergency calls so far this year.
They work 12-hour shifts, two days on duty and two days off, with alternating three-day weekends.
It's stressful, demanding and unpredictable. But veteran dispatchers said it can be exciting and rewarding, too.
"When you hit that button and answer the phone, you don't know what's going to be on the other end," said Mike Ellis, a senior dispatcher with 10 years of service. "It could be neighbors arguing over someone dumping trash on their property, or someone who's loved one is going into cardiac arrest, or someone calling because there's someone in their home with a gun.
"You just don't know."
The job can be overwhelming at some points, but those who work at the center are dedicated to the profession, said Denise Clark, Metro's deputy director of operations.
"There's a saying that paramedics have the 'golden hour,'' she said. "These dispatchers have about 60 seconds. They have the 'golden minute' to figure out what's going on and how to respond."
Their main job is to gather information. They must quickly determine what type of services are needed, and then dispatch those services. The more information they gather, the better prepared responders are when they arrive.
Dispatcher Missy Bennett said dispatchers often build a rapport with first responders.
"They trust you," said Bennett, who has worked at Metro for five years. "They know Missy's going to protect me, she knows where my next backup is."

DOWN: To the United Steelworkers Local 5668 members who are using the strike against Constellium Rolled Products Ravenswood as an excuse for violent and intimidating tactics on the picket line. This week, several individuals on the picket line threw rockjacks into the road, flattening tires of vehicles entering and leaving the plant. And worse, rocks were thrown into the windshield of a truck, injuring a driver. Two men, Robert Mason Sullivan II and Michael Robert Fowler, were arrested and charged with felony destruction of property in this incident. These men should not only be punished to the fullest extent of the law, but they should be fired immediately. If union leadership cannot control its members on the picket line, law enforcement officers should step up enforcement before someone is seriously injured.
UP: To the second annual Rivers, Trails and Ales Festival, being held this weekend in Marietta. The festival is held to encourage residents and visitors to discover Marietta's outdoor activities and its downtown highlights, said RTA Fest organizer Ryan Smith, owner of Marietta Adventure Company in Marietta. This year's event will include several new activities for both paddlers and bicyclists. Later, participants can enjoy several different microbrews and food at area pubs and restaurants.
UP: To people who have purchased tickets for the annual Rubber Ducky Derby, held during the Parkersburg Homecoming. The derby is one of the Homecoming's most popular events, and the tickets purchased are one of the main revenue producers for the event.
DOWN: To the mindless vandalism discovered this past Monday at VanDevender Middle School. Police have video of two men who did the damage and we hope it leads to an arrest and punishment.
UP: To the fundraising concert Thursday by the Lt. Dan Band, featuring actor Gary Sinise. Money from the concert will raise money for Pfc. Kyle Hockenberry's "smart" home. In addition, a thumbs up to the Parkersburg/Marietta Building Trades Association whose members will assist in the building of this home, thus cutting in half the projected $400,000 building cost. Hockenberry was seriously injured on June 11, 2011, while serving in Afghanistan.

Men's Hoops Falls to Wesley on Last-Second Shot
Wednesday, February 09, 2011
Dover, Del. – Marymount University's men's basketball team dropped a 64-63 heartbreaker to Wesley in Capital Athletic Conference action on Wednesday. The Saints took the lead with 1.3 seconds remaining before the Wolverines responded with the game-winner on the ensuing possession.
Three Saints scored in double-figures, led by junior John Magnani's double-double with 17 points and 13 rebounds. Freshmen Mac Kennedy and Reed Scott added 13 and 10 points, respectively.
Wesley escaped with the win after knocking down the game-winner with less than a second left on the clock. The last-second shot negated a Magnani bucket with 1.3 second remaining that gave the Saints a 63-62 lead.

Greendale girls basketball team scores two Woodland Conference wins
Team defense strong, while Taylor DeLong leads way on offense
Greendale - A solid defense helped give the Greendale girls basketball team two Woodland Conference victories and kept the Panthers in a game against talented Waukesha North last week.
Greendale downed St. Francis, 59-41, on Friday night and Greenfield, 43-30, on Nov. 27, then fell to North, 47-36, on Saturday evening.
On Friday night, Greendale had to overcome a tenacious St. Francis defense.
"St. Francis played a swarming defense," head coach Julie Hahm said. "(The Mariners) had two or sometimes three girls trapping the ball and always had great ball pressure. This rattled us in the first half (in which Greendale outscored St. Francis 23-15), but the girls were poised and found ways to handle the pressure."
The Panthers rolled up 26 points in the fourth quarter to put away the game.
Taylor DeLong tallied a game-high 23 points, while Emily Perszyk added 19 points, four rebounds and five steals, earning praise from Hahm for her defensive effort. Anna Klar pulled down four rebounds as well.
Greendale hit 51 percent from the floor and 72 percent (13 of 17) at the free throw line.
In the Nov. 27 game, the Panthers shut down Greenfield effectively.
"We played excellent defense," Hahm said. "The girls were communicating, they were moving their feet, and our players made life difficult for the Greenfield offense. We kept them off the boards, too."
Once again, the Panthers finished strongly, with a 20-point fourth period to put the game out of reach.
DeLong totaled 18 points, seven rebounds and two steals, while Maggie Bowen and Sarah Belanger each had six points. Klar added eight boards and two assists, Belanger two assists and Perszyk and Sarah Kahl each two steals.
Greendale then took on Waukesha North, a team that is highly-regarded this year in the tough Classic 8 Conference.
"I think the only people who thought we had a chance were the 11 kids with "Greendale" on their shirts," Hahm said. "(The North Stars) are the best and tallest team we have seen, but we knew if we executed our game plan, we would give ourselves a chance to win.
"The girls played tall and made North work for every point."
The second period hurt, as Greendale was outscored 15-5 to fall behind 26-15.
"By the time we figured out how to score against their zone, we ran out of time," Hahm said. "I am so proud of the team for the way that we prepared for the game, played tough team defense and never stopped working."
DeLong hit 6-of-8 shots from the floor for 12 points and added eight rebounds. Perszyk had nine points and Belanger three steals.
Greendale (2-0 in the Woodland and 2-1 overall going into this week) welcomes Cudahy at 7:30 p.m. Friday and visits Shorewood at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 11.

South Africa's White War
The Great Anglo-Boer War
The sand of the northern Transvaal is red. It makes easy mining for the ants in the cemetery at Nylstroom, who have sunk hundreds of little crumbringed shafts down between the graves. Their commando columns trot across the veld and descend the shafts to visit the bones of 544 women and children "who as war victims (wat as slagoffers) lost their lives in the Concentration Camp in the period between 1899 and 1902." Most of the graves are mere cairns, marked with metal name tags. A few are small slabs of slate, laboriously engraved: "Anna Sofia Venter: died 24 August 1902, aged two. Dit is de Weg die ons allen is op gelegt" (this is the path that lies before us all). The names are the names of Boer history: Pretorius, Bezuidenhout, Potgieter. The cemetery's black marble monument was unveiled in 1942, when South African troops were fighting the Germans on the distant north shore of the continent. Some of those who now rule South Africa were then detained or under surveillance, as declared admirers of the more perfect "Konsentrasiekamp" system of the Third Reich.
The memory of the Boer War of 1899-1902 (or the Second Anglo-Boer War, or the Second Independence War, as the Afrikaners call it) has become a sustaining myth. South Africans who have recently begun to go sedentary, prosperous, and bureaucratic like to fancy that they can spring out of the Datsun into the saddle, lose thirty pounds of fat overnight, and become the terror of the plains as their fathers were. If some American urban whites can still see themselves as latent Indian fighters and pioneers, it seems less absurd that the Afrikaner should tell himself that he too could ride with a commando, shoot from the saddle like de la Rey, punish the cheeky Kaffirs like Pretorius.
Vietnam helped to demonstrate that the Americans have become "the British"; that in any rough-country war they are the trudging, puffing ranks in red around whom the wily embattled farmers circle and snipe. The Afrikaners have yet to learn this about themselves. The Boer War myth was undermined in Angola, when an unwieldy and badly commanded South African expeditionary force was outmaneuvered by the Cubans and pushed back to the Namibian frontier. But South African whites do not wish to know this. Television viewers in the Republic have been enjoying instead an amazing film called Bridge Fourteen, in which a South African officer in Angola darts about with his little pistol and disposes of a dozen evil Cuban |storm troopers single-handed.
Prosperity is still something fragile to Afrikaners. It is true that there is now a flourishing Afrikaner capitalism, even great finance conglomerates which begin to challenge the established mining giants on the Rand. It is also true that the Afrikaners continue to flow into the cities, and true that they preponderantly staff the slothful monster of repressive bureaucracy which is the expanding state apparatus of South Africa. All the same, most Afrikaners know what being …

'An Artificial Wilderness' at the Wadsworth in Hartford
Tires: they keep our cars from flying off the road at 65 mph. But they also accumulate, rapidly, as you'll see in Edward Burtynky's "Oxford Tire Pile #1" (pictured). It's a rare photo of the world's largest, non-burning tire pile, and it's part of An Artificial Wilderness, a new exhibit opening at the Wadsworth on Aug. 31, assembling images of man's inpact on the environment by Lewis Baltz, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Claire Beckett, Frank Breuer, Edward Burtynsky, Olafur Eliasson and others, who snapped pics in Australia, Mexico, Bangladesh and elsewhere. It's a sad photo, and also kind of beautiful.

KBA Board Meets At Innovative Research Center; New Investments Will Be Announced
By Laura Ziegler
Kansas City, Missouri – A spokesman for Kansas Bioscience Authority says the state- funded agency will be meeting at the Venture Accelerator - one of the new buildings at the Kansas Bioscience Park, in Olathe. Sherlyn Manson says the board plans to make an announcement Monday or Tuesday morning about new investments in human and animal health start-ups.
Manson says the Venture Accelerator is built to foster collaboration, and help fledgling bioscience companies; "The Venture Accelerator is a innovation incubator that helps bioscience companies get products to market efficiently and effectively."
Manson says she expects questions about the finances of the KBA, which came under scrutiny by the Kansas legislature last session. But, she says, there's no reason to worry; "The KBA staff is working hard every day to grow the bioscience sector. That's our mission ad that's what were working toward every day."
The former head of the KBA, Tom Thornton, remains under investigation by the Johnson County District Attorney.

What's Missing Here?
I had a thought yesterday, "boy it would be nice to be off the grid." There is something about the self sufficiency that I find appealing. I have mentioned a couple of times that we are adding water catchment to our house. We already had a metal roof, have done the gutter work and this year we will be getting a storage tank.
We are nestled in a little valley such that we don't get a lot of wind but we do get a lot of sunlight like the little guy on the rock is taking in so what about solar?
Our cabin is small and our electric use is low. We average about 500 kWh per month. I did a little looking and the Suntech STP 175S-24/Ab-1 could produce 65 kWh per month assuming five hours of sunlight per day. We would need eight Suntech STP 175S-24/Ab-1 modules to pay our bill. The site I looked at netted out the cost (after tax credits and the like) to $2735 per module. So if I am figuring this correctly (and I may not be) that works out to $21,880 to get off the electric grid.
We bought this house in 1998. In almost eleven years I doubt we have paid $7000 in electric bills. Based on that math the solar modules would pay for themselves in 33 years. A few things then; anyone know about this stuff, is the general framework of the cost/benefit outlined above close to being right?
If so then how many people are going to convert to solar? Anyone building house where they need to bring electricity to the property could do it but if electric is already there or if it is an existing home then it does not seem to make economic sense. I would remind that the $21,000 is to replace a below average usage.
A possible use ties in with a joke I made along time ago about making desolate parts of Arizona and Nevada giant solar panel farms that the utility companies would then transmit into the home--I don't know what the economics of this would be but when I mentioned it a reader commented that there was something like this already in Nevada, on a smaller scale.
A hopeful item is that solar is a technology and the cost for most technologies comes down over time. There are cheaper concepts being worked on so maybe there can be something that could make more sense for more people. Given this, it seems difficult to get excited about the solar stocks for the next couple of years.
The psychic value of being off the electric grid is worth some amount of money (a different figure for different people). Maybe it is worth ten years worth of electric bills to do this, maybe only five years but for me nowhere close to 33 years.
Unrelated item, have you heard about this movie The International? My take from the commercials is that it is about a really bad bank. Given the timing of the release, why aren't there more jokes about this?

Roger, I have checked out solar panels as well. The only times there are reasonable payback periods are when tax credits are involved and when you can sell excess power back to the utility company. In my case, my utility is the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Their eyes just glazed over when I inquired about it. No profit motive for them.

Roger, I'm Treasurer of my HOA here in Prescott. Last month I went to a seminar on Alternative Energy and the applicable laws in AZ, given by APS. Your calculations for Solar conversion seem about right. In fact, I think your payback would even be longer because you didn't add in any costs for maintenance of the system over 30+ years. We concluded that very very few people will attempt solar or wind installations in our area until or unless the cost structure comes down substantially. It just doesn't make any economic sense at current pricing levels.

On a somewhat related note, several of my neighbors heat their homes with wood stoves (which actually burn corn and pellets, too.) It's a lot of work, especially if you split your own wood, it's dirty, and it pollutes. They enjoy smaller gas bills and get the last laugh when we lose power, which always seems to happen on the coldest winter days.
There's also a university spinoff nearby that's commercializing a small, home wind turbine. It's expected to sell for about $2000 and offset 20% or so of a typical electic bill. It will require professional installation, including a device to store the power that it generates.
Sadly, the whole movement to sustainable energy seems to have stalled with the pullback in oil prices. - 6:37 AM

Solar energy is where PCs were 30 years ago. I think you could buy a commodore 64 that would not do much for you.
It is going to take a while for reasonable cost units people want are available. The price of oil will also hasten or delay when we all convert and it will not be bad if it is delayed.
I would not waste time or effort looking at alternative energy until at least 2020. - 6:50 AM

OK, here's an idea. Invest $14K in your local utility. Assuming a 5% annual dividend, you'll receive $700 in annual income before taxes. That should offset your estimated electric bill, though it won't give you the psychic satisfaction of living off the grid.

If you're interested, stop by Home Depot or Border's. There's a special feature "energy" version of Fine Homebuilding magazine that I believe has a couple of features on using solar for houses. It also mentions federal subsidies, IIRC.
I've read about home geothermal use a bit lately; might be a pain to get the drilling equipment to your house, though. This stuff all seems to cost about $25k. - 7:02 AM

Surely that's a semi-decent solution, especially in cities where it may be difficult (and unhealthy) to run/cycle outdoors and a tower block can only house so many solar panels?
The problems arise if you're off the grid and
a)you're sick and can't cycle
b)the weather's lousy (and dull)
c)the weather's fine (and still)
d)your equipment fails and you're unable to get replacement parts for a time

I did a lot of research on solar back in the 70s during the first oil embargo. I ended up going passive solar. Of course you have to build your house with that in mind. South facing windows, big overhangs to keep the sun off the windows in the summer, a reasoable amount of masonry (brick, rock, cement) that catches the sun's rays and stores the heat, heavy insulation, and a gas fired back up heating system. Saved me about 60% on heating bills at a 10% increase in building costs. This was in Boulder, Colo., where they get 300 days of sunshine a year.
Had a friend who went off grid during that time. He used wind, passive and active solar. He built his electric system according to submarine technology. Had a big bank of submarine batteries to store excess energy, which could be converted to low voltage electricity when needed. But even he needed a back up propane stove for heat. His building costs were 25% higher, because submarine technology wasn't readily available at that time. He used both active solar and wind to generate electricity and the batteries were his standby source. Most of his heat was supplied through passive solar with a lot of storage mass to store the heat during the day.
The best energy saving heat device that can be retrofitted on a house today is the geothermal heat pump. They cost about $20,000 but will heat and cool a decent sized house for about $300/year. The pay back is not that good and you still need some system for electricity, but it is extremely green and will last a long time. - 12:15 PM

Check out the proposal in Scientific American, their Dec 2007 issue I believe. They cost out a proposal to move the US to solar energy, using current technologies and modest improvements over 10-20 years. And yes, the solar farms are in the arid southwest.

Famed Virginia candy shop owner dies after short illness
Christmas Day marked a day off and the end of the season for the popular Great! Lakes Candy Kitchen in Knife River. Twin sisters and shop owners Pamela Matson and Patricia Canelake mused Wednesday that their father died that day for a reason. He wouldn't have wanted to interrupt their candy making.By: Mike Creger, Duluth News Tribune
Christmas Day marked a day off and the end of the season for the popular Great! Lakes Candy Kitchen in Knife River.
Twin sisters and shop owners Pamela Matson and Patricia Canelake mused Wednesday that their father died that day for a reason. He wouldn't have wanted to interrupt their candy making.
With a strong work ethic, business savvy and an old-fashioned joy of people, John Canelake became a beloved figure in Virginia through the Virginia Candy Co., later Canelake's Candies.
He died Tuesday at age 92, but his legacy lives on in his daughters' store and in the 107-year-old Canelake's in Virginia.
"Whatever you do, always continue the recipes," Matson said of her father's advice when she and her sister decided to revive a family tradition in Knife River in 2007. "Don't skimp on the butter or the cream."
John Canelake had been out of the business for about 30 years when his daughters came up with the idea to start a new store after their own retirements. The Virginia shop had been taken over by one-time apprentice Jim Cina.
Both stores have thrived.
The Virginia Candy Co. was started in 1905 by John Canelake's father, Gust, and his uncles.
In a 2005 story in the News Tribune about the store's anniversary, John Canelake talked about his earliest days at the store.
"I forced myself in here," he said. "I told my dad I'd come in here every Saturday and polish the fountain for 35 cents."
It was hard work, and Canelake told his children that he wanted them to go college so they wouldn't have to work as hard.
It was a typical generational immigrant family tale, Patricia said. She became a teacher and her sister a librarian. They never thought they'd be back in the candy business they knew as children.
"She started making candy," Patricia said of Matson. Soon they were talking about a store and found an old fish shop in Knife River.
Matson said her father advised his girls for a while. It always started with him saying he couldn't remember this or that recipe, Matson said. But he would always come around and know exactly how something was made.
"He recently told us, 'I have nothing left to teach you,'" Matson said. "I was thrilled with that."
Part of John Canelake's charm was his artistic ability in displays.
"He was good at the marketing part of it," Matson said. Her sister takes that role in their shop.
"I admired my dad for what he could do," Matson said.
"People connect good memories to candy," she said.
People who remember her father often come to the store in Knife River with memories to share.
For many in Virginia, date night included a stop at the candy shop and its soda fountain.
And they remember John Canelake in front of his store on the Fourth of July with his nutty ice cream bars.
His favorite candies were the crèmes, Matson said, especially the raspberry. He was also proud of his caramel and fudge recipes.
Canelake had been suffering from heart problems in recent years, and after some trouble on Christmas Eve it was decided he should enter hospice care.
Matson said her father was sharply intelligent and was happy to have the hospice option after being lucky enough to live in his own home for so many years after his wife died.
"He said his life was complete and that now he wasn't feeling so good," Matson said. It was a blessing for the family to hear that, she said.
It was still a hard day on Christmas, she said. "It's also Mom's birthday."

I agree.
Does the expression, "How do you like it" imply two meanings?
A : How do you like your steak?
B : Well done, please.
A: How do you like English?
B: I like it a lot.
Do you agree with this? Thank you so much as usual.

I agree.
I sort of semi-agree, just about. In the first, you could substitute want for like, but I would use How would you like your steak for the first as you're asking someone about a particular instance of steak consumption.
"How do you like your steak?" is a different question asked when ordering than it is while you are eating.
In 5jj's immortal words, "Context is important".
I'm not a teacher of English, but I have spoken it for (almost) all of my life....

Classic Creamed Spinach Recipe
Using fresh spinach instead of frozen really enhances the flavor of this classic recipe from Ann Van Dyk of Wrightstown, Wisconsin. The hint of nutmeg makes this side dish even more appealing.
- 3/4 pound fresh spinach, torn
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 tablespoons butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1-1/2 cups milk
- In a Dutch oven, cook spinach in oil for 3 minutes or until wilted. Transfer to a cutting board; chop. Melt butter in the Dutch oven. Add onion; saute for 2 minutes or until crisp-tender.
- Stir in flour, salt and nutmeg until combined. Gradually whisk in milk until blended. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add the chopped spinach. Reduce heat to low; cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 4 servings.

I went to an install today and I noticed that the guys had put the TXV external equalizing line BEFORE the sensing bulb. Is this okay? I was always taught to put the equalizing line AFTER the sensing bulb. Does it really make any difference?
Putting the bulb before the ex line is suggested in case the push rod packing leaks in the valve body; the bulb won't be affected. Therefore, the best location is bulb upstream of ex line. But, in reality, if you have to put it after the ex line then ok.
Thank you. I am glad that I did not say anything about it while I was there. I just made a mental note so that I could ask the people here on this board. I've been using this board to supplement my schooling and it has been a great help. THANKS
Yes there is a difference Coz the external equalizer line has a flash gas going thru it. The sensing bulb will be sensing liquid if the ex is BEFORE the sensing bulb.
The only way there is going to be flash gas in the equalizer line is if there is a leak in the packing in the TXV. There is not a direct connection between the ex line and the liquid line.

Kerwick: Jason Bay and Mets agree to part ways
With good guys, you dig through couch cushions for loose coins. You comb the beach for buried jewelry. You hunt for any hint of value.
So we perked up when Jason Bay helped the Mets win an August game in Miami with a first-inning grand slam.
We took notice when his second-inning home run helped R.A. Dickey collect win No. 19.
But there were never enough coins. No metal detector could turn up enough jewelry. And that's what makes this saga so sad.
Bay was a good guy – a great guy – but a terrible ballplayer in New York.
Certainly not a $66 million ballplayer.
So the Mets saved themselves some spring training headaches, opened up a roster spot, and freed up some payroll for next season by cutting ties with their beleaguered left fielder Wednesday. Bay will receive all the money he was owed, according to several reports, though some of it will be deferred.
Bay is owed $16 million for the 2013 season, and the Mets also will pay $3 million to buy out the contract option for 2014 and $2 million more for the final installment on his signing bonus.
"I just hope Jason has some peace of mind and gets a chance to show people he can still play," Mets manager Terry Collins said Wednesday afternoon.
Bay hit just .234 with 26 homers and 124 RBI during his three seasons in New York. He suffered two concussions during his tenure in Queens.

Drs. Hertlein and Byrd indicated no relevant conflicts of interest.
Moussay E, Wang K, Cho JH, et al. MicroRNA as biomarkers and regulators in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2011;108:6573-6578.
Perhaps the most important factors in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are deciding when to initiate treatment and which treatment is best for a particular patient. The typical watch-and-wait approach dictates that treatment is not initiated until symptoms develop. This is mainly due to the risk of adverse side effects of common therapies, particularly when patients may not become symptomatic for many years following the initial diagnosis. However, if predicted correctly, aggressive cases of CLL would most definitely benefit from immediate treatment.
Many prognostic factors that have been determined to predict time-to-treatment or disease severity, such as Zap70 expression, are difficult to reproducibly measure. Immunoglobulin heavy chain mutational status and select cytogenetic markers can also classify disease and predict severity and are therefore very important diagnostic parameters. However, the detection of these abnormalities can be cost- and labor-intensive and is therefore not performed on a routine basis at most institutions. More accessible circulating markers, such as CD23, thymidine kinase, and β2-microglobulin, have not been as extensively validated as reliable markers. However, the ability to use plasma markers to predict disease remains a desirable objective.
The recent study by Moussay and colleagues from Luxembourg explores the use of microRNAs (miRNAs), particularly miRNAs circulating in the plasma of CLL patients, to predict CLL disease status. These investigators found that many miRNAs are overexpressed in CLL patient samples compared to normal volunteers, not only in the cells but in the plasma compartment as well. The authors found that plasma levels of miR-195 and miR-20a are able to reproducibly distinguish CLL samples from normal controls, and the level of miR-20a correlates with disease severity. In addition, combined analysis of several plasma miRs, with particular emphasis on miR-29a, is able to distinguish between CLL cases that are positive or negative for Zap70 expression.
Interestingly, several miRNAs (mir-135*, miR-451, and miR-486-5P) show an unusual pattern of regulation, in that they are expressed at lower levels in the actual CLL cells compared to the serum. This suggests that the approaches described above, which focus only on the CLL cells, may not paint an accurate picture of the miRNA profile in patient samples. This is because they neglect to take into account miRNAs that are rapidly exported from the cell or miRNAs that are produced by other cells in the tumor microenvironment.
The overall importance of this study is not only that miRNAs can be used as prognostic factors to accurately predict disease state, but also that the composition of miRNAs in the plasma of patients might actually be a more accurate diagnostic tool. In addition, the development of recent technologies that allows analysis of the entire miRNome in a single assay without the need for RNA extraction or cDNA synthesis make the detection of plasma miRNAs simple and cost effective, which makes this much more attractive as a clinical diagnostic tool.

In the February 2012 issue of School Nutrition, the article "Kids' Cooking Takes Center Stage" by Cecily Walters offered a look at the knowledge and lifelong skills that children gain by learning useful cooking techniques, as well as detailed the experiences and advice of a number of school nutrition professionals who provide opportunities for students to learn to cook.
Following are some additional advice and resources to help you develop activities to teach kids how to cook—or to offer to parents for family activities conducted at home.
Recipes for SuccessWhen it comes to imparting basic kitchen guidelines to young chefs, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service Nibbles for Health newsletter recommends that all children be instructed to fasten long hair back, taste with a clean spoon, keep raw and cooked food separate, cook food to the proper temperature and refrigerate perishable food immediately.
During the food preparation stage, students of various ages will do well with working as part of a production line process where each child performs a task, such as adding an ingredient to a salad, describes Sal Valenza, foodservice director for West New York (N.J.) Schools.
Above all, school nutrition professionals or parents conducting kid-friendly hands-on cooking activities should remember to "keep it simple and be patient," says Coleen Donnelly, a chef consultant and K-12 specialist for Indian Harvest, who volunteers at Oceana High School in Pacifica, Calif., as part of the Chefs Move to Schools initiative. According to Donnelly, the results are worth it when working with student chefs. "Every time I cook with a kid, I see a sense of accomplishment, regardless of what they have cooked. What is even more encouraging to me is the fact that kids will at least try a dish they have made themselves," she explains.
