A plea to the Long Island Power Authority for electricity to be restored is posted on a barrier Wednesday, Oct.
Judged: 1 |
You had utility workers that came in from Alabama . They were sent home because they were non-union . Miss em now ?
Don't forget National Grid the company they contracted to manage and operate the company for them.
LIPA was already 'probed' after Irene last year and FAILED. http://www.news12.com/articleDetail.jsp... |
I wish I waz probed!
LIPA is a quasi state agency. Technically, Cuomo runs it. He was supposed to appoint a full board of directors, but he left six places empty.
Now he's angry at them? He should fire their boss. |
Judged: 1 That really showed some class to do that to those in the dark. Oh well, just shows how low down the union trash can be even in an emergency. |
Actually no. There were so many out of town workers that LIPA had no idea what to do with them all. |
Judged: 2 1 1 Thanks to unions, we can no longer enjoy "Twinkies" |
Judged: 1 1 LIPA didn't know what to do with them because they didn't know what was going in detail. Some are blaming the lack of a modern computer system just to track/detect problem areas and others are saying if you need a computer system for this type of damage you are already in trouble. |
Judged: 1 |
I don't think the 'union' issue was as big as portrayed BUT someone confronted these drivers and/or company with the 'confusing' union paperwork. Probably a union zealot who didn't have a clue of the overall damage thinking about their overtime only. This is an issue that LIPA or National Grid should have anticipated with proper planning but we all know now they didn't prepare for squat. The local unions also need to tell their membership in a disaster union-non union bs is set aside-no paperwork,clarification or authorization needed. |
You're so right! When people are cold and in the dark,the first order of business for those arriving in the first days is to get on gas stations,stores,lift stations, and water pumps,not be turned away. The help could has stood their ground but the history of union nastiness and violence didn't make it worth staying. The issue of turning down early help should be addressed as it will probably be an issue again with a shift in the weather patterns. |

A flooded house can't be turned on again by repairing the outside lines. Takes time. Lots of time. You need an inside electrician, not a line-man. |
They were line-man. There was still hundreds of thousands of people whose outside lines were not fixed yet in areas where the houses were not flooded. And they were heading home... |
Glad to hear the clean-up is over and everything is back to normal for Thanksgiving. I knew that lttle Category 1 storm wouldn't keep you down for long.
The whole idea in an emergency is to get the transmission lines up first and get the substations on line. Then the distribution lines into the residential areas where some if not all the houses without serious damage can be turned back on. There will always be houses in each block with more damage than others so they won't be back on until repairs and inspections can be made.. Don't dwell on that fact for an excuse for the sorry treatment of those who came to help. Thank goodness this wasn't followed by a below zero blizzard. |

The Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant was a completed General Electric nuclear boiling water reactor located adjacent to the Long Island Sound in East Shoreham, New York. The plant was built between 1973 and 1984 by the Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO), but never operated.
In 1983, the currupt Suffolk County Legislature voted that the county could not be safely evacuated in the event of a serious nuclear accident at the plant, and the crooked governor of New York, Mario Cuomo, ordered state officials not to approve any LILCO-sponsored evacuation plan. On May 19, 1989, LILCO agreed not to operate the plant in a deal with the state under which most of the $6 billion cost of the unused plant was passed on to Long Island residents. In 1992, the Long Island Power Authority bought the plant from LILCO. The plant was fully decommissioned in 1994. France derives over 75% of its electricity from nuclear energy. This is due to a long-standing policy based on energy security. France is the world's largest net exporter of electricity due to its very low cost of generation, and gains over EUR 3 billion per year from this. France has been very active in developing nuclear technology. Reactors and fuel products and services are a major export. Longislanders are retards. |

We have 11 new Hey Henrys this week!
Submit your "Hey Henry"
Special photo
Our Pet of the Week is Tony. We understand that he is a lucky fellow who lives a very comfortable life in Locust Grove with his pet "mom," Pat Driskell. She says, "When I first got him, he was a sickly stray cat, fighting for his life from a serious infection. Now, he lives a good life. He spends his days sleeping, watching squirrels and blue jays and enjoying gourmet kitty meals. It sure doesn't get much better than that!"

Actually, I was born and bred SD and lived in California (not "Cali") for 30 years.
And, part of my job for many years was dealing with laborers and farmers.
I'm also well aware of the "Bracero" program...a very good and successful program, very similar to the "Guest Worker Program" that is being discussed as we speak. The biggest problems with the Bracero program was 1) the workers complained of not getting paid the backwages they were promised, and 2) the Braceros were supposed to return to Mexico...and of course, many didn't. Big surprise...
Your thoughts and opinions are obviously well-reasoned.

At IBC2005, TMD announced the latest extension to its Mediaflex media asset management, workflow and resource management solution, which quickly and accurately inserts subtitles into file-based media content.
Until now, most broadcast operations have inserted subtitles into the transmission stream. However, using the new subtitle insertion solution from TMD, subtitles can be integrated as part of the files. This makes it simpler to manage and ensures that the correct subtitles are always transmitted.
The new subtitle insertion application, which will be available as an add-on function to Mediaflex, is compatible with Softel's insertion software and Omneon's video server.

UW-Sheboygan to lead tour to Southern Spain in 2011
UW-Sheboygan to lead tour to Southern Spain in January 2011
Did you always think that the richness and beauty of Europe was out of reach? Never imagined yourself exploring the majestic and ancient sites that decorate the spectacular Spanish landscape?
Wait no longer! Stop imagining and start planning your next travel abroad experience to Southern Spain with the University of Wisconsin-Sheboygan!
UW-Sheboygan's Continuing Education Department will offer an amazing international study abroad experience to Southern Spain January 5-14, 2011, that will be based in Seville, Spain.
UW-Sheboygan Spanish instructor Kyle will lead the trip and share with travelers the rich history, culture and language of Southern Spain. Kendall, who has traveled extensively across Europe and South America, lived in Spain for three years and in Ecuador for more than two years. He holds a bachelor's and master's degree in Spanish and a master's in Education. He is fluent in Spanish, including the Andalusian dialect.
Trip participants will experience the richness of Europe and Africa's historical crossroads, ancient Roman ruins, and the majestic Moorish fortresses and towering Christian cathedrals and monasteries. Cities on the tour will include Seville, Carmona, Gibraltar (home of the historic rock monolith – the Rock of Gibraltar), Malaga (famous for its beaches and Picasso's birthplace), Ronda (home to modern bull fighting), Mijas, Cordoba (home to the Mezquita Arabian Mosque) and Granada (home to the Alhambra Palace and Generalife Gardens).
According to Kendall, who has lived in Seville, Spain, said the opportunity to return to Spain – which he feels is one of the most beautiful places in the world -- was one he could not pass up.
"There really is no place like Spain," Kendall said. "I am looking forward to walking through the maze of streets in Santa Cruz seeking out wine and tapas bars. I'm dreaming of the rhythmic beat of flamenco music playing in the background while I sample some of the best food in the world. And I'm excited to once again see the foreboding and regal architecture of the Cathedral and Alcazar, all softened by the smell of jasmine and orange blossoms. That alone is worth the trip!"
Kendall added that trip participants will note major differences in both the language and the lifestyle of the Spanish people. "The lifestyle of the Spanish in Spain is markedly different from that of Americans," he said. "Travelers will note the difference in just about everything they do."
The trip is priced at $2,889 per person based on double occupancy. This includes the following:
- Bus transportation from UW-Sheboygan to and from O'Hare Airport
- Round-trip airfare
- Coach and bus transfers to and from airports abroad
- 8 nights lodging at the Seville Gran Lar Hotel, Malaga Tryp Alameda Hotel and the Granada Navas Hotel
- Breakfasts each day, a welcome dinner and farewell dinner
- All tips for drivers and guides
- Three lectures on the history and culture of Spain
- All admission prices into designated tour sites
- Medical insurance, and
- Pre-orientation workshop in October 2010 and a post trip gathering for photo sharing
"Southern Spain in January?! Could it get any better? It will be warm, sunny and exciting" said Valerie Graczyk, UW-Sheboygan Continuing Education Director. "What is unique about traveling with UW-Sheboygan is having a knowledgeable professor along who will give his perspective from having lived in Spain and has experienced the culture first hand.
"In addition our travelers become a community of people who are enjoying a unique life experience. My role is to ensure as much as possible that people enjoy themselves," Graczyk said. "For many people this will be a once in a life time travel experience, we go out of our way to make it memorable."
To reserve your space on this first-ever offered tour, complete an Application Form (available on the UW-Sheboygan Continuing Education Web page or from the CE Office) and return with a $750 deposit. Additional payments will be due in the months leading up to the trip's departure with full payment due by September 15, 2010.
For more information on this tour, contact the UW-Sheboygan Continuing Education Office at (920) 459-6617, e-mail email@example.com or visit www.sheboygan.uwc.edu/continuinged/

LOVE ITPros: Fast, Quiet, Large capacity Cons: none yet Other Thoughts: i read a few of the 1 star reviews and they were just raging on this drive saying it died after a year and they weren't going to get another. I haven't had any problems with this drive and if i did id send i right back to newegg and have it replaced. I wouldn't return it because its my favorite drive and it is worth the little extra. its a step up from other 2tb drives. Did you find this review helpful? |
solidPros: fast speeds for a spinning drive Cons: -expensive... i dont understand the price fluctuations in HDDs. one day they are $50/TB, 2 days later they are $90/TB. Other Thoughts: click... click-click-click-click.... click.... click-click.... click-click-click Did you find this review helpful? |
Great HDPros: Fast, reliable, quiet Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? |
WD Caviar BlackPros: Lots of space, decent speed. Cons: A bit noisy. Other Thoughts: Good, solid, reliable drive for storage. Obviously not going to compete with SSD drives any time soon. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Five year warrantyPros: Five year warranty, should be very durable if it's like my other WD Caviar Black drives, reasonably quiet. Cons: None Other Thoughts: I have five desktop computers and have bought quite a few hard drives over the last nearly 25 years. It's becoming harder to find a good hard drive. Ten years ago I bought mostly Seagate drives, but they have gone downhill. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
FailedPros: Speedy for the size. Cons: Failed after 1 year. Other Thoughts: Good drive but for me it failed after 1 year. Manufacturer Response: 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Non-RAID drives in RAID configurationsPros: 2TB, 7200rpm Cons: Not Solid State or SAS ;) Other Thoughts: People really need to stop using Non-RAID drives like this model in RAID configurations. The WD "RE" Series is for RAID configurations. 3 out of 10 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
1 of 2 failes in a windows 7 raid 1Pros: fast drive, once started , i do video editing of HD footage and these drives are great when working, internal trasfer rates are 100+ mb per second Cons: - when first access drive after comp is inactive there is a about 10-15 second delay, some what normal with windows Other Thoughts: honestly are there any drives that aren't a 50/50 chance of failure... 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Fast, big, and short-livedPros: This drive was fast and big. Cons: My drive failed after one year of use. The WD2001FASS drive that my retail kit drive contained has a 9.71% return rate according to a study done on December 2, 2010 by the French site Hardware.fr, which is a rather high return rate. In other words, nearly one in ten drives based on this model was returned. Other Thoughts: The model of the drive contained in my retail kit is a WD2001FASS, which has a Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s interface. Its label specified 64MB of cache. I do not know whether to trust the label on the box or on the drive. 3 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Sabotaged to not work in RAID.Pros: Good performance, Cool black label. Cons: Willful sabotage(google: TLER) to make them non-function in RAID configurations. Breaking of SATA spec to prevent TLER disable. More expensive than competitors that have no sabotage. Other Thoughts: I easily buy thousands in hard drives per year. I really like the WD black, up until they sabotaged it to try and channel sales into the RE4($) hard drives. They've even go so far as disabling adjustment of their TLER via SMART, which breaks SATA spec. 10 out of 13 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Chris and Jim Peterson's first home together as newlyweds was a modernist fantasy—white leather couches, black lacquer furniture, and wraparound decks set in seclusion along
Annapolis's Severn River. But in 1996, when baby made three, the couple decided they wanted to be in a neighborhood where their daughter, Alex (now 14), would be able to walk out the front door and find playmates. So the Petersons started looking for a new place to call home.
By 1999, they had found what they were looking for: a two-acre property in Annapolis.
Since their lifestyle was changing, the couple put aside their modernist leanings and, with the help of Annapolis-based Pyramid Builders, decided to build a more classic structure, heavily influenced by Shingle-style architecture and British West Indies colonial design.
"Chris's dad lived on St. Kitts, and we had property in St. John, so we had a dramatic interest in West Indian or British colonial architecture and the casual lifestyle of the island," says Jim, a veterinarian who owns the Bowie-based Highway Veterinary Hospital. The Shingle style, which flourished in the northeast U.S. in the 1870s and which features open floor plans and porches, was also a strong influence.
"Chris always went to her grandparents' home in Shelter Island [New York]," says Jim. "The first time I went there, all the Shingle-style houses there amazed me. It doesn't matter if they are large or small, they are all called 'cottages,' and they all have an extremely comfortable feel to them—they were developed as summer homes."
Indeed, the Petersons' sprawling five-bedrooom residence, with its 45-foot observation tower and year-round sunroom, does feel like a summer home and exudes that same gracious informality. Surprisingly, despite its 12,000 square-foot size, the home manages to feel cozy. "The nicest thing is when people come here and say, 'I felt so comfortable here,'" says Jim. "It wasn't intimidating."
For the interior areas, the couple charged Baltimore-based designer Mona Hajj with creating a space where family and friends could unwind. "We told her we wanted it to be timeless," says Chris. "Everyone comes here and tucks their feet up on the couch. They don't even have to ask because they know they can."
Hajj's advice to the couple: "A house should look like a collection of personal things that you have gathered through the years." To that end, the house incorporates items that reflect the couple's trips to India (a great source of British colonial antiques) and Turkey (such pieces include a set of antique colored-glass lanterns, a magnificent Syrian set of drawers with mother-of-pearl inlay, and intricately adorned silk and velvet pillows).
"As time goes on, and the world keeps changing, you tend to want to hold on to something from the past to give you a sense of stability," says Jim. "With this house, we wanted the amenities of today with the sense of yesterday."

Five-time Grammy Award winner Donna Summer was renowned for being the Queen of high-energy disco.
She shot to fame in the 1970s singing a string of classic disco hits, including Love to Love You Baby, Bad Girls and Hot Stuff.
During her 40-year career, she worked with the likes of Giorgio Moroder, David Geffen, Stock Aitken and Waterman, and Barbra Streisand. Her last single, To Paris with Love, topped the US dance chart in 2010.
In 1977 Summer was interviewed about her single I Feel Love and said "this song became a hit because it has a high-energy vibe".
Following that interview, the description "high-energy" was increasingly applied to high-tempo disco music - or Hi-NRG, as it became known.
In 2004, Summer was inducted to the Dance Music Hall of Fame, alongside The Bee Gees and Barry Gibb. Her classic song, I Feel Love, was also inducted that night.
Summer had been been suffering from cancer and passed away in Florida, her publicist confirmed.

847cc, 115bhp, 145mph, Insurance group 14
Yamaha's MT-09 middleweight roadster should be spectacular – a worthy rival to Triumph's mighty Street Triple. Experienced riders will love the power from its 115bhp, 850cc three-cylinder engine, its ability to do easy stunts and the huge reserves of ground clearance available. Newer riders will enjoy the motor's flexibility, light weight and low seat. It's as happy doing the daily ...
530cc, 46.5bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 9
The sports maxi-scooter that started it all. As close as you'll get to motorcycle handling in scooter form. The T-Max can tour, scratch and commute as good or better than many middleweight conventional bikes. But ABS isn't standard, it lacks the innovative features found on other maxi-scoots and the price is getting dangerously close to £9K.
125cc, 8.9bhp, 65mph, Insurance group
The BW's 125 is an off-road inspired scoot that goes nicely and looks even nicer - rugged styling marks it out as a small scoot aimed at blokes. At £2,499 it's not the cheapest 125 scooter on the market, but nice detailing and decent performance help to justify the price.
249cc, 21bhp, 80mph, Insurance group 7
When the XV250S Virago was discontinued, the new Yamaha XVS250 Drag Star replaced it. They're very similar and that's good news for owners: the long-running Virago branch of the Yamaha family has a great reputation. The little Yamaha XVS250 Drag Star is just as good and, if your heart's set on a smaller capacity cruiser, you'll find it hard to ...
659cc, 47bhp, 93mph, Insurance group 9
The Yamaha XTZ660 (or Teneré) comes from a time when Continental cool meant enormous trail-style bikes and a far-away look in the eyes. Actually that might just have been piles, since the Yamaha XTZ660 boasts one of the most uncomfortable seats ever created outside of the Inquisitions of 15th-Century Spain. The exhaust and spokes rot and the electrics are poor. ...
1063cc, 62bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 11
The Yamaha XVS1100 - a big cruiser of yesteryear is more a mid sized cruiser of today. It's an evolution of Yamaha's long running XV1100 Virago which used to be its custom-style range topper but now it's dwarfed by the near-two litre megacruisers. The Yamaha XVS1100 is somewhat old tech but light weight and manageability are always useful.

Video: Florence + The Machine – "No Light, No Light"
November 18th, 2011
[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/HGH-4jQZRcc" width="550" height="445" allowfullscreen="true" fvars="fs=1" /]
The newest release from Florence + The Machine's Ceremonials album is a video for "No Light, No Light." Their music and videos seem to never have a shortage of grandeur and drama; Here, Florence hangs off a high rise building and a masked man conducts a secret ceremony as a group of church boys mysteriously stand by. And as always, the visuals are bar setting.
