Article: Rural distribution system reliability worth evaluation using individual customer outage cost characteristics[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Customer interruption costs are a function of both interruption and user characteristics. The specific customer characteristics at a load point in a distribution network can have a significant effect on the estimated customer outage costs at that load point and for the entire feeder. This paper illustrates the effects on outage cost estimates of using generalized sector customer outage cost estimates and actual customer specific outage cost functions. The data used in these analyses are from customer cost surveys conducted in Canada. A small distribution system is used to illustrate the possible variation in interruption cost estimates due to incorporating specific customer characteristics in the evaluation. The results presented clearly show that different customer compositions can result in significantly different feeder interruption cost estimates. The estimated interruption costs can be used in feeder design to create an optimal configuration based on reliability cost/worth analysis.International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems - INT J ELEC POWER ENERG SYST. 01/2004; 26(4):235-240.

ABSTRACT: Many countries have conducted studies to determine the monetary impact of power system outages on their customers. These studies have been conducted for different customer classes and have used a wide range of survey or study techniques. The data is being used to examine reliability levels and criteria and to provide input to planning and operating decisions. One issue often raised is the question of comparable reliability criteria in different systems and different countries. The customer interruption costs (CIC) in different countries can be compared by converting the CIC data using purchasing power parity (PPP). A PPP estimate reflects the purchasing power of the inhabitants of a country and depends on market value. The effect of frequent currency fluctuations due to artificial reasons are eliminated in the PPP estimate. In the PPP approach, the prices of goods and services are internationally arbitraged so that the cost of a standard market basket is the same in all countries when measured in terms of a common currency.IEEE Power Engineering Review 06/2001; 21(5):c1-c1.

Conference Paper: Determination and use of sector and composite customer damage functions[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Customer interruption costs are used as surrogates in the assessment of reliability worth in electric power systems. In order to determine an optimal and reliable level of customer service, reliability cost/worth is evaluated by calculating the costs associated with different system configurations and assessing the corresponding reliability worth at the respective system load points. This paper illustrates the utilization of an existing Canadian database in the development of individual sector and customer damage functions. The approach presented is very flexible and permits the existing database to be updated as new information becomes available. A composite customer damage function is created for combinations of customer classes by weighting the individual customer damage functions using the energy consumed by each classElectrical and Computer Engineering, 1999 IEEE Canadian Conference on; 02/1999
Conference Paper: Development of customer survey instruments for reliability worth evaluation in electric power systems[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper presents a methodology to develop survey instruments to evaluate costs and losses incurred by customers during interruptions to the electrical supply system. This work is part of an ongoing research project in the Power Systems Research Group at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. The paper focuses on a procedure to develop and design mail-out survey questionnaire packages, in particular for the Government, Institution and Office Building (GIO) sector of the economy. A brief description of previous results and of the project's current status is provided. The method by which customer information is collected and manipulated to provide a basis for economic reliability management decisions in electric utilities is discussedWESCANEX 95.

Article: Probability distribution approach to describe customer costs due to electric supply interruptions[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Considerable attention is being devoted to quantitative determination of electric power system reliability worth. A basic approach is to utilise customer interruption costs obtained from postal or in person surveys. The results obtained are transformed into customer damage functions which are applicable to individual customer classes and sectors. Standard customer damage functions utilise average customer costs for selected outage durations. The paper presents a new approach which provides a three-dimensional representation of the probability distributions associated with customer outage costs. The results are utilised in a basic generating capacity adequacy assessment analysis to calculate an interrupted energy assessment rate, which provides an overall average cost per kilowatt-hour of unsupplied energy. This cost value is considerably higher than the value obtained using a conventional customer damage functionIET Proceedings - Generation Transmission and Distribution 12/1994; · 1.41 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: A common approach used in quantifying the worth or benefit of electric service reliability is to estimate the customer costs (monetary losses) associated with power interruptions. Customer surveys are often used to determine interruption costs. The IEEE Power Systems Research Group has conducted surveys of Canadian electric utility customers in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors. These surveys were sponsored by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council and seven participating utilities. This paper presents the overall results of these surveys with emphasis on the cost resultsIEEE Transactions on Power Systems 03/1994; · 2.92 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Considers how a methodological approach is evolving in the electric utility industry to determine users' evaluation of the worth of electric service and as a means to conduct realistic cost/benefit analysis at the planning stage. The essence of the argument is that, only if the worth of our infrastructure is known can defensible decisions be taken with respect to the expenditures to maintain or retrofit the infrastructure. Obtaining meaningful users' worth assessments of the infrastructure is a critical component in evolving definable cost/benefit analysis of major technological infrastructuresIEEE Technology and Society Magazine 02/1994; 13(2):10-16. · 0.54 Impact Factor
Conference Paper: Value-based reliability evaluation of electric distribution systems[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The authors describe the evaluation of the worth or value of distribution system reliability using quantitative reliability analysis and customer interruption costs. The ability to assess reliability worth makes it possible to optimize the reliability of a system by comparing the reliability worth with the associated system investment costs. The analyses include an evaluation of the reliability of different design/operating configurations of a distribution system and the corresponding reliability worths at the customer level. The reliability of each system configuration is evaluated in terms of the system performance indices and the expected customer outage costs due to power interruptions.WESCANEX 93.

ABSTRACT: A comprehensive study was performed to identify the customer- and interruption-related variables that affect the customer losses. The major results pertaining to the variation of interruption costs with time of year, week, and day for small industrial electrical consumers have been reported previously by the authors (see IEEE Power App. Syst., vol.PAS-104, p.3209-15, 1985). In this paper the authors attempt to identify and describe additional factors and variables associated with the cost of interruption, such as restart time, ability to make up lost production, effect of advance warning, etcIEEE Transactions on Industry Applications 02/1993; · 1.67 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: This paper examines the range of methods used to evaluate worth of reliability and costs of unreliability (outage costs) as reported in the literature, and contrasts the strengths and weakness of various methods. Three broad categories can be identified, namely, analytical methods, case studies, and customer surveys. The customer postal survey method is identified as the preferred method. The Power Systems Research Group of the University of Saskatchewan has conducted consumer surveys in the residential, industrial, commercial and agricultural sectors during the last decade. Major features of the methodology which has evolved are outlined. Typical data analysis procedures and characteristics of results are presented.International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems. 01/1993;

ABSTRACT: The authors describe the methodology and results of statistical analyses of data collected to estimate the losses incurred by the farm sector as a result of electric power system interruptions. The project was sponsored by the Canadian Electrical Association and employed a postal survey to estimate the costs to electric customers resulting from electric power outages. The survey included interruption cost estimation questions based on three principles: direct estimate of losses, an economic principle of substitution, and a willingness-to-accept method. The results of these questions together with the others included in the questionnaire were subjected to rigorous statistical analysis. The analysis presented unexpected challenges due to the peculiarities of the data. The difficulties associated with data analysis, the methodology used, and the results are discussedIEEE Transactions on Power Systems 12/1991; · 2.92 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: A summary of research conducted to determine the effect of outage costs on commercial consumers having electric standby systems and to identify customer related and interruption related variables that affect the losses is presented. It is shown that consumption and demand normalized outage costs for users having no standby systems are higher typically by three times when compared with users having standby systems. No significant differences were observed between battery and engine-driven standby systems. Variation in outage costs with respondent category was studied. Respondents indicated that they could make significant cost savings arrangements if provided with advance warning or duration information of the interruption. 45% of all respondents having standby systems indicated there were health or safety hazards due to interruptions.< >Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting, 1990., Conference Record of the 1990 IEEE; 11/1990

ABSTRACT: An approach often used to estimate power-system reliability worth is to determine consumers' monetary losses resulting from service interruptions, i.e. the cost of unreliability. Previously, studies have been conducted to provide estimates of customer interruption costs, and a wide range of methodologies has evolved. There is no universal agreement on the appropriateness of methodologies to particular situations nor on the interpretation of the results obtained, but some appear to be more acceptable and useful to the industry than others. A survey is presented of the techniques available for estimating customer interruption costs, the rationale of those that are currently popular is discussed, and the application of such cost data in creating a composite customer damage function is exploredProceedings of the IEEE 07/1989; · 6.91 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: A summary of results is presented of a postal survey of Canadian farm operators conducted to evaluate the direct and short-term costs and impacts resulting from local random electrical supply interruptions. Statistics Canada's Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) was used to categorize farms into groups and subgroups, and the composition of the survey sample was intended to reflect the relative importance of the various farm categories to the geographical regions across Canada. Most Canadian utilities which serve farm customers participated in the project. The survey was designed to obtain the consumer's valuation of interruption costs using three approaches: an indirect worth evaluation based on the preparatory actions the consumer predicted he would take given a specified (un)reliability, a direct estimate of worst-case costs, and an attempt to indicate expected rate reductions commensurate with a specified reduction in reliability. Principal variations of cost estimates are briefly discussed. Information concerning primary effects of interruptions is presented, and the availability, type, and size of standby equipment are reportedIEEE Transactions on Power Systems 06/1989; · 2.92 Impact Factor

Underground Ecology, or How I Learned to Love Dirt
Staff Report
Peyton Smith, Ph.D. student in the Department of Soil Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, will present underground ecology, pertaining to the research of former faculty member Dr. Teri Balser. His program will be given from 7-9 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 18, at Burpee Museum of Natural History, 737 N. Main St., Rockford.
Balser's dissertation assessed the importance of microbial community composition for ecosystem functioning and found that "when we disturb the soil or change the environment, soil microbes responsible for processes will be affected, and the composition of the microbial community will shift as organisms better suited to the new environmental conditions grow and compete."
We know the characteristics and needs of the trees, shrubs, forbs and grasses we have planted in our landscapes, but do we also know the nature of the soil in which they grow? The composition and character of our soil influences the growth of plants within it. It also affects how plant life responds to global changes. As we strive to include more native plantings in our yards and communities, we are disturbing the soil and changing our community.
Join Burpee to learn the effects these changes can have on the ecology of our own communities and learn to "love the dirt," too.
This program is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Lenae Weichel at (815) 282-5482 or email@example.com.

My God, He's like a hockey goalie!Submitted by Disturbed on Thu, 09/01/2011 - 22:30
The questions come firing in from every angle, yet he keeps snuffing them out from his consistent,"tried-and-true" viewpoint. Twenty three years later, he's asked the same questions and he gives the same answers. When will America understand he is the best man for the job and he's not in it for his own good?

Can we front-page this?
I'm pretty jaded about Ron Paul videos, even ones from decades ago showing his consistency, but this one was AMAZING to me.
He's exactly the same guy. He really has been saying the same things for decades.
There's only one issue I spotted that he's changed his position on, and that was the death penalty. Back then he supported it, but later he realized, I think, that the government often puts innocent people to death, and that's something we can't allow. And that's the issue he points to when people ask him if he's ever changed his mind. And even if this video you can see he was already doubting, uncomfortable with his own position, because of the grimace that flashes across his lower lip & chin after he makes that statement.
What an amazingly consistent, principled, and wise man. I fear the US Government is not deserving enough to be led by him.
Can we send this...
... to Cavuto? He seems impressed with what Dr.Paul said in 2003. Does he know what Dr.Paul told us in 1998? Close your eyes, listen to him and you'd think this 2008 video was made in 2011. Remarkable, outrageously remarkable.
Plano TX
It's even better than that, sleuth51. This is a video from 1988. EIGHTY eight.
What is his position on the death penalty?
With his Christian moral compass - I can't imagine he'd devalue life by not being for the death penalty.
He used to be for the death
He used to be for the death penalty but now he's against it. You can hear him talk about why etc. in his recent interview with the Concord Monitor(the video should start right when the question is asked @1hr15m37s): http://youtu.be/o0mGDcybDL4?t=1h15m37s
I'm RealHarrySeaward on YouTube and @JayToTheDee on Twitter.
Being for the death penalty
Being for the death penalty -is- devaluing life... because it assumes that our justice system is incapable of making mistakes. In several cases, we've had people convicted of murder and then later proven innocent with advances in science.
Besides... I personally don't find death to be much of a punishment. I'd rather see the worst criminals rot in a cell and think about what they've done for a very long time.
According to scripture...
I'm not preaching here - I'm just explaining the value of life perspective that Christians have.
The value of life is a life - life being the most expensive thing you can take from somebody.
How do you value life? Is it time spent in jail? Is there a dollar amount you can peg to it?
I understand about the errors that can be made when implementing the death penalty. That's why the bar for implementing it in scripture was so high.
According to scripture:
1. There had to be two eye-witnesses.
2. The execution of the guilty was to be immediate.
3. The accusers were required to be the executioners.
If the accusers were bearing false witness, they were also given the death penalty.
Circumstantial evidence was not acceptable. There had to be two eye-witnesses.
I realize all this is way far away from our current jurisprudence - but you can see why under these implementation guidelines - there were very few mistakes and that the death penalty immediately imposed was a very strong deterrent.
An added financial benefit is
An added financial benefit is that life without parole is far less expensive than capital punishment.
He has changed one answer....
...on the death penalty.
He talks about why he changed his mind on this during that recent Concord Monitor 1 hour interview
"We don't need a Department of Energy; we need a Department of Freedom" - RP
"We need to defend liberty.. and liberty!" - RP
My hero.
My god, how does he do it??? Seriously. To say the same thing over and over for 25 years, trying to convince one person at a time about how this country is destroying itself. To have people ignore and laugh at you, all the while watching the attacks of 9/11, the collapse of the housing bubble, the wars, the debt, the destruction of our currency, knowing that they could have been prevented and the answers are so simple. I would have given up. I would be shouting at the top of my lungs, "See, i told you so!" Yet, he keeps plugging away, ever so patient and humble. Dr. Paul, you inspire me to be a better man. Just as Dr. Paul tells his grandchildren about Hayek and Mises, someday I will tell my grandchildren about Ron Paul.
This is impressive stuff.
No difference from today.
Great !
Bookmarked and bumped
good one.

Beginner, Cutting, Emma Jeffery, Fabric, How-To-Projects, Winter,
Whether it is your go-to bag for shopping or a gift for someone, this simple and chic crossbody purse is a great bag for everyday of the year.
I don't know about you, but Christmas for my family means new pajamas. My children really do love a new pair of cosy winter pajamas to keep them snug during excited slumber on Christmas Eve and there's no denying a new pair of PJs looks cute on Christmas Day morning and in the photographic opportunity it brings
I wanted to make a set for my son who recently turned 7 and when I purchased the book Sewing For Boys by Shelly Figueroa and Karen LePage I knew that the Goodnight Sweetheart pajamas would be perfect for him. It can sometimes be hard to find really nice patterns for boys and I confess I sew many more things for my daughter than I do my son. Buying this book has really helped me redress the balance and I found the pajamas pattern to be straightforward with clear directions and nice details. Best of all, the finished pajamas are really wonderful!
The book contains all the full-size patterns you need for every project. I found the pieces of the pajama pattern and traced them carefully onto pattern tracing paper, transferred all the marking and cut them out.
I decided to use a soft cotton flannel for my pajamas and I found that using a plaid print helped me line up all my pattern pieces nicely so that the print even matched at the seams.
My favorite pair of scissors for cutting fabric pattern pieces are my Fiskars 8" forged scissors.
They are feel solidly built and cut easily, even through several layers of heavyweight fabric.
This year I am really enjoying a pale blue and red color combination for the holidays, so I knew I would add a bright red piping and buttons to these pajamas (red is also my son's favorite color so it makes him happy when I use it). I think this splash of color really adds something special to the overall look.
Finishing a garment and having to add buttonholes at the last stage is always a daunting prospect (at least for me) and I recommended doing several 'test runs' on a scrap of the fabric you are using. My sewing machine measures buttonholes automatically and still I fret that somehow I will mess it up, but I have learned that I'll never make progress or improvement if I don't at least try!
The pajama pants are finished with an elasticated waist and I like to use the safety pin in my Sew Taxi to thread the elastic through its casing. Not only do I find this the most efficient way to thread the elastic (I am not a patient person) but since I always return the safety pin to its place in the Sew Taxi, I always know where it is!
And there you have it. Nothing says Christmas like a new pair of cosy jammies! I am really happy with how these turned out and more importantly, I know my son will love them.
Goodnight, Sweetheart pj pattern from the book Sewing For Boys

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I could not be more thrilled with these - they are a generous size, great quality magnetic material, and the print is very clean and professional looking (like it doesn't look like I DIY'd them at a photo print store thank goodness). The WPD designers were super helpful in making my requests happen - I wanted to change the font of the word "save the date" so if you are wondering why you can't edit it on your own, they can do it for you. If you want a magnet style you won't be disappointed with these."
"This Save the Date is beautiful and practical! I love the rustic/elegant design and I was able to change the color of the font and design without a problem. its very thin, it isnt a heavy magnetic sheet, so that will be great for postage. Customer service was also great... I was sent the proof 1 day after submitting my order and once I approved the proof the item was processed and shipped, it took about one week for the entire process including delivery. Its just a beautiful magnet."
"These save the dates were simply amazing. They were very easy to customize and all of our guest loved them, as did we! The magnet actually sticks to the fridge, unlike some of those cheap-os. The color quality was great as well as the picture quality, there was not graininess from the zoom. They made our wedding planning that much better. 100% satisfaction here!!!"
"The save the date magnets were perfect! Have gotten so many compliments already!! And I often get asked "where did you find these!!??" I didn't change anything on the save the date except for the picture do a picture of the venue and our details. But everything else I left the same. And they turned out amazing! The magnets are great quality as are the envelopes you receive with them! Would not hesitate to recommend to others."
"I would order from weddingpaperdivas again without a doubt!! Incredible experience! We changed the font on the front to two different fonts, and wanted to add our wedding website underneath where it says invitation to follow. We ordered these magnets on a Wednesday, got the proof from the designer in less than an hour, and the magnets were printed off same day, shipped the next day, and arrived to us in LONDON from the US on MONDAY!! EXCELLENT SERVICE! The magnets were beautiful, very generously sized, and you could read all of our print very clearly even with the edit of adding an extra line underneath. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE! We got them for a great price and everyone has been raving about how great the magnets are!!! YOU CAN'T GO WRONG HERE!!!!!!!!!!!"

Unfortunately its not the same way up here in MN.. Although I've not had a front license plate for 5 months now and there's been no problems.
Wonder how you could mount it? Zip-ties would be kinda tacky.. Maybe if you could remove the front grill you could take a couple of stainless sheetmetal screws and drill them into the back grill (as long as the holes matched up with the bars it should be easy. Anyone know if this is legal in MN or other states?
Here is what I did on my CTS. I have a custom bar style on the lower grill, should work on any style.
Got a 1/3 size plate holder from Pep Boys. Put plate on by two long plastic screws on bottom tightened with plastic nuts. Put soft velcro on back of plate and holder, everywhere it would touch bumper. Then stuck the screws through the lower grill and hand tightened second pair of plastic screws. I can add or remove the holder by opening the hood.
I'll have to wait until I get my 3ooC (on order) to see how I can do it.
I want one I can put on and off easily because I don't like the way they look on the front of cars. I know that police issue citations at convention centers, stadiums, airports etc. for no front plate, that's when I put mine on.
This may be it, guys.
The salesman at one of my local Chrysler dealer (who is fighting for my business against another Chrysler dealer - ha!) talked to the service manager about the license plate conundrum.
They said that they can employ the rubber grommets used on the front bumper of the Jeep Wrangler to mount the plate lower on the bumper.
It was based on my suggestion that there must be some kind of doughnut shaped grommet that would fit. Isn't this ingenious? I'm pretty sure it will work.
Let me know what you think.
garnes1 Posts: 33Probably no "chips". I don't think I'd pursue that route.
However, I'd call Corsa about an exhaust system for this car. They already have a Hemi system for the trucks, and last I talked to them, they are interested in developing a system for this car. They first need to get one in their shop. If anyone lives in the Cleveland area, give them a call. Check them out at http://www.corsaperf.com Anybody that's not familiar with them should note that their system are used on a lot of the pace cars. They are the best. See what they have done for Cadillac. Wow.
I have one of their systems and all I can say is that it's the greatest and they know how to tune one of these things for a luxury sport car.
I'm sure a free breathing intake will come around too.
Thanks for your comment...curious about your conditions. Were your mud flaps hard or rubbery??? I think the 300C has both thermoplastic and thermoset (rubber) materials which give them both hard and rubber feel. Not sure the orientation???
Anyway, is your paint peeling from the back edge toward bottom or sides and then working its way in???
If you could do this over again, it sounds like you would stick with the basic black flaps????
Anyone heard of Chrysler actually releasing a chip and injectors for the 300C? I was reading a different site that said Chysler was putting together a chip and injector kit to boost HP 50 ponies! 0-60 times would be mid 4's and 1/4 mile in the high 12's. Chysler has stated in the past that the engine has much more potential, 390 horse would be awsome!
Does anybody know if there is a performance air filter out there for a 300 C Hemi? I checked with K&N but they don't have one yet. I have put them in all of my cars (K&N) and every time I get 2 if not 3 miles to the gallon better mileage, and 5 to 10 hp more.
As for polish, Zaino is where it's at! I learned this in the 300M site. This is extraordinary stuff! Just don't think you need to cake it on, and you apply it in up and down motions, not a swirl! Take it off in a circular motion. I just did my Hemi Sunday wash and wax in an hour with Zaino.
Enjoy the ride!
I ordered mine through: http://www.4filters.com/knfilters.htm
It's on it's way to me now, cost was $44 shipped. One of the members of another 300Cforum did a bunch of measuring and research and found out this nice little tid bit... I'll let you know if I find out anything else. Glad to help.

Dinosaur-eating snake fossil comes to life in rare U-M exhibit and lecture
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Contact Dan Madaj, (734) 763-4190, email@example.com
DATE: 4-5:30 p.m. Feb. 15 (lecture), noon-5 p.m. Feb. 16 (exhibit)
EVENT: The free, public lecture "India before the Himalayas: When Snakes Ate Dinosaurs" and exhibit "The Snake vs. Dinosaur: Caught in the Act" help recreate the moment 67 million years ago in western India when a giant snake ready to pounce on a dinosaur hatchling became frozen in time by an avalanche of wet sandy debris.
U-M paleontologist Jeffrey Wilson and Dhananjay Mohabey, a paleontologist with the Geological Survey of India, will discuss the 1984 discovery of the rare fossil. The lecture will focus on India before the rise of the Himalayas, during a time of intense geologic, geographic and biotic change.
The exhibit features a replica of the fossilized remains and a life-sized sculpture simulating the attack. Interpretive panels explain the remarkable story captured in the fossil and how its full meaning was uncovered over three decades.
Visitors will be able to examine a touchable cast of the fossil slab, showing the snake's skull and vertebrae, as well as dinosaur eggs and baby dinosaur bones as they were found in the field. A scale model of the sculpture will give visitors a chance to explore the scene as they learn how paleontologists used fossils to reconstruct the past.
"This lecture and exhibit will bring the fossil to life and show people how different the dinosaur era was from today," Wilson said. "It is the first time in the world that a replica of this fossil has been displayed."
PLACE: The lecture is at the Rackham Building Amphitheatre, 915 E. Washington St., and exhibit is at the Museum of Natural History, 1109 Geddes Ave., Ann Arbor. Central Campus map: http://campusinfo.umich.edu/article/central-campus-map

We had to use the "force". DH said, it was already broken, what could go wrong? So he used pretty rough force each time, and it worked. It's why he calls it the "Jedi-style" of fixing things.

Photopass Pictures from Day 1
We had trouble with PhotoPass this time. The photographers were generally hard to find (I think that was because of the rain) and when we did find them, only DH and I wanted to have a picture taken. We also found quite a few characters that had NO photopass people there with them. I think this will probably be the last time we use Photopass even though I think it's a great service.

Great pictures. I'm sorry that there weren't more PP photographers out. I love the pictures of you and DH together.
My son is the same with getting his picture taken. He loved it when he was younger, but I think I wore out my luck. I have to beg him to do it now. I have told him that he will be taking lots of pictures when we go on our trip.I'll see how that works out!!

Epcot Morning....part 1
No one felt like getting up early after getting in bed for 1 a.m. so we slept in a little bit because other than Soarin' there weren't really any must-dos at rope drop. Would this mess up our schedule to see the shows around Epcot? Well, we shall see......
At 9:05 a.m., I'm still taking pictures around the resort. Nannia and Poppa went inside our store to see where they could get another camera. None at our shop but they were told of a shop in Epcot that was for cameras and film, etc. Can you see the price tag now??? $$$$$$$$!!!!!!
So we hop on the bus and at 9:40 we are looking at ......
Nannia and Poppa went into the film/camera store while the rest of us headed to the Land Pavilion to get fast passes for Soarin. The boys and I took pictures outside of the Land Pavilion while DH ran inside.
No.....look at me.....
Finally both looking at me.....
After DH came back, the boys decided that they wanted to go into Innoventions. My kids LOVE the exhibits in here (nerds I know). Neat addition this year was when the pot in the kitchen started smoking.....
Nannia and Poppa found us after we escaped from our burning house. It was sad to see the KimPossible wall gone. I hated that we ended up in the middle between the closing of one mission and the opening of the new Agent P one.
Next, we saved money for our next vacation again.....
If only they put the money you saved towards your next vacation!
Finally we get to ride!!! What would be our first ride? Figment of course but....suddenly DS6 is scared of Figment and the ride. He's having a panic attack outside the building while I try to calm him down and remind him that he enjoyed Figment last time (well at least until they say that we had a blast....). Finally he agreed to go into Figment after I offered to buy him a treat if he rode it.
I love Figment and his ride. I know you all don't hear that much but I could ride that one a few times on each trip even if the song gets stuck in your head all day!!
Last year we spent quite a bit of time playing with the games after Figment's ride. We still enjoyed the games this year but it didn't take us nearly as long to explore everything.
Creating a Figment
Nannia and Poppa enjoyed Figment as well since they had never ridden this one before.
DS6 ran into the store to pick out his "treat" but he fell in love with a Figment plush and DH agreed that it would make a great treat so we bought him.
Then we headed toward the Land Pavilion. After being there for Flower and Garden festival last year, Epcot looked quite bare to us. No pretty flower pots in the water, no topiaries....it was so different.

Epcot Morning....part 2
First we went on the Living with the Land ride because we weren't quite ready to use our fast passes for Soarin. The line for Living with the Land was past the down escalator so that you stepped off the escalator and turned right to get in line but the sign said only 10 minute wait. We were given a red time card to hold and give to the CMs at the front so that they could change the wait time. We waited about 15 minutes although most of it was walking through the gigantic queue.
I had never heard of a fluted pumpkin before. This thing is huge!!
Pineapples!!! These were also growing in Animal Kingdom along the sides of a walkway later in the week. I hope I got a picture of them there as well. My DS10 wanted to pick one of these.
Excuse DH's cell.....I thought DS6's face was cute on this one. He was SOOOO into it all.
Hidden Mickey in the shrimp tank....
BEAUTIFUL!!! I love sunflowers!
Hidden Mickey in the leafy plants.....
Another hidden Mickey....
Well it's already 11:45 a.m. at Epcot and we have only finished two rides.....would we skip all of the rest to see shows or would we revise our shows plan? How many shows would we see? Oh and I have lunch pics so don't stay away too long!!!

My son is 15 now and sometimes bribing him works. Especially if it's for a new game for his playstation. LOL!!
I love your pictures of Epcot. It's our family's favorite park. We could spend days there on every trip.
I love the Living With The Land ride. It's a definite must do on every trip.
Ahhhhh Figment. I love that little purple guy. I have a stuffed Figment on my dresser and love looking at him every morning.
I don't even want to know how much a new camera costs at Epcot. LOL!
Did you do the Behind the Seeds tour? My son loved it and he got to release lady bugs and feed the fish in the tank. It was the highlight of his trip.
I love reading your trip report. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to post!

Their camera was not all that expensive and it will make a good back up camera for if their other one ever breaks again.
Nope we have yet to do a tour. This was only our second visit to Disney so we were still trying to see everything. I would love to do a tour or two if we get to go back.
Thank you for reading my report!!! It would be a boring journey without anyone to share it with!
When we were kids (long time ago) they did this with cows.

Sorry PP didn't work out very well for group photos, but I love the ones of you & your DH!
I love Journey into Imagination too. I just miss Dreamfinder. There was a nice innocence to that version. But I do find the newer version comical as well.
Bummer Perry's mission wasn't open yet, but at least you didn't loose an entire day to the boys wanting to do that all day long. right? Besides something else new for next time.
Glad to hear Nannia & Poppia's camera wasn't an arm & a leg. Back up cameras are always good to have.
Just a thought... sometimes the photo's when the little ones are NOT cooperating are the most charming to reflect on in later years. They show their real personalities. Honestly, I wish I had "kept" more of them from my older kids. Of course the ones they DO cooperate in are great to show others.
I hope you got to see at least Some of the shows you were looking forward to.
Looking forward to reading more.
Hope you are out enjoying the 4th holiday.

Sunshine Seasons, Soarin', Spaceship Earth and .....BEVERLY!!!!
SO when I left off we were about to embark on lunch at Sunshine Seasons. Last year we took one look at the picture menus on the wall beside the restaurant and said, "No WAY!!!" However, this year since we were between riding Living with the Land and Soarin, we didn't have much choice. We decided to give it a try.
So what would we decide on???
I had a kids' plate - chicken leg with mashed potatoes and grapes.
DH had the half chicken plate with rice and beans but chose not to get the beans so it didn't "contaminate" the rest of his food. He asked to trade mashed potatoes for beans but they could not switch. He bought an apple to eat with his meal.
DS6 had a mac and cheese plate with grapes and applesauce.
DS10 who sat WAY on the other side of our table and I have no pic for had a Peanut butter and Jelly Uncrustable with grapes and yogurt.
Nannia had a chicken ceasar salad thing I think!
No idea what Poppa ate because he was with DS10 WAY on the other end of the table! Lunch was really good and I was glad that we gave it a try! It's definitely a place that we will return to.
After lunch we decide to ride Soarin but along the way there I decide that DS6 is probably NOT going to enjoy "flying". We decide to do our own version of child swap and Nannia, DS10 and I ride Soarin first. I loved it and only had to close my eyes for about 3 small parts to avoid . DS10 LOVED it and decided to ride it again with Poppa and DH when we exited! I was surprised that DS10 enjoyed it because he is afraid of heights.
While the guys rode Soarin we ventured outside and I took some pictures of the "golfball" (as DS6 calls it) with a monorail passing.
After much discussion we decided to skip Nemo this trip because of how late in the day it already was and the fact that we only had one day at Epcot. I was sad that we would not be able to ride everything but I knew that we still had LOTS to do!
The boys joined us outside at 1:05 p.m. and we headed across the park to the times board. DH ran to get FPs for Mission Space while we waited.....and waited.......and waited.....and .....come to find out, DH took a "back way" from Mission Space to Spaceship Earth which was next on our list and we stood there waiting on him for what felt like forever while he looked for us at SE. Hello timewaster!! Geez....I only found him because DS6 needed to potty and we decided to go to the restrooms nearest SE. We finally gather everyone together AGAIN and at 1:30 I took these pictures....
This is Nannia's favorite ride so she really enjoyed the ride. I think Rome's burning smelled MUCH stronger on this trip than the last because I honestly don't ever remember smelling it before. After the ride we let the boys play with the interactive games while the boys went to ride Mission Space. I was really worried about DH riding the orange version because we had heard all of the horror stories.
Good-bye Spaceship Earth! Hello Fountain....I LOVE this fountain!
The boys still had not texted us to tell us that they were done riding so I was getting pretty concerned but I kept telling myself that they would be fine and we went into Club Cool to try ......BEVERLY!!!!
Nannia tried it too and I got a really good face of her as well but I know better than to post that here!!
DS10 and Nannia down, how about DS6.....well he tried it too.....
WHAT?!?!?!? HUH!?!?!? REALLY?!?!?!? Yes he liked it. Crazy kid!!!
We tried all of the other flavors a few times (it was hot!!!) and decided that watermelon was our favorite!!!
After leaving Club Cool we begin to head to the Highland Games Tournament even though we still have NEVER heard from the guys. What is taking them so long?? I'm getting more worried by the minute. I mean they had fast passes and all....why would it take this long to ride???

Great update! I had to laugh when you posted why your DH didn't want to get the beans. LOL! I'm the same way most of the time. I have to have a separate bowl for my beans and peas. Things that aren't supposed to touch each other. It's mostly the juice or something. LOL! It drives my husband crazy. LOL!!
I laughed at your DS6. Kids certainly are crazy sometimes. LOL!!
I love the pictures of SE. We also call it the big golf ball. The outside looks so awesome. It almost doesn't look real sometimes.
Can't wait to read more.

I can't believe your son enjoyed Beverly! that is awesome!
Great update. I hope the guys didn't break down in the ride. That happened to my family once. (not me I rode once years and years ago...that was enough for me).
Glad to hear you liked the food at Sunshine. We've only eaten there once, I can't remember if we enjoyed it or not.
sorry you missed Nemo. That is actually one ride we were a little disappointed in. Youngest DD liked it, but even she said it seemed fake. I guess Disney has spoiled us.
How did Nannia like her new camera? Did it work okay? Did she get her "good" one fixed when you all got home. Hope it is an easy(inexpensive) fix.
looking forward to more updates!

jute twine or wire, for hanger
I painted them with chalkboard paint, added their pictures with mod podge (made a collage for my oldest son's sub teacher of the children), had the twins write their name and I added the year, sprayed with protectant sealant (Krylon Gloss Indoor/Outdoor), and tied jute twine on them for hanging. Done! Easy gift and it only took a few hours, probably not that long but I was busy..you know how that goes. There are so many different ways to use these and I have spare ones for me! Off to finish more crafts! <3 and hugs!

Union Minister for Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation, Girija Vyas launched the Housing Start Up Index (HSUI) logo, web site and monitoring tool called Integrated Urban Poverty Monitoring System for the Rajiv Awas Yojana here on Wednesday.
The HSUI is a joint initiative of the Ministry's National Building Organisation and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). "The HSUI is an index that tracks the number of houses being constructed every year across the country. The Housing and Construction related activities in our country, with its backward and forward linkages and with nearly 254 ancillary industries has a huge multiplier effect on the economy. HSUI is a leading indicator of the national economy itself," Dr. Vyas said. The results of the pilot index will be released in the coming weeks. "The RBI has started working on a pilot for 25 cities, which will have the index ready in the coming weeks. Information on six lakh buildings, covering all stages of construction will be collected and presented to the RBI," said a Ministry official.

Almost Perfect
Rating Details: I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was very clean. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was an almost perfect property for our family. We did experience a few difficulties, but nothing that would prevent us from staying again. The grill was dirty, but we were able to get it pretty clean so we could use it. The remote controls for the tvs and dvd player were missing, but I ran to Meijer and bought some so we could use them. The dryer was not working upon our arrival, but the property managment was on top of it and had it fixed the same day. Our biggest complaints were that the sliding doors do not lock, and when they are in locked position, you can still get them open. This could be fixed with a simple piece of wood cut to fit so that the door can't slide open from the outside. Luckily, I was able to find a spare piece of wood that fit pretty well in one of the storage areas so that my son could feel safe sleeping in the basement. The other complaint is that we were without wifi for two days. I'm not sure if it was a property problem or a provider problem. Yes, I know we were on vacation and shouldn't be too concerned with wifi, but we use Netflix to watch movies. Other than those very minor things, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. This is a very quiet property, so if you are looking for nightlife, look elsewhere. Our kids had great fun exploring and hiking and everyone we met was very friendly. The pool was great as well, we just didn't have great weather so we only used it once. Our condo was clean upon arrival and the property management was very easy to deal with and gave great service when we called. While you do have to drive a ways to get to the attractions, we thought that was part of the charm. We saw a few things we wouldn't have normally seen just by staying in downtown TC. We would suggest this property for anyone that has a larger family and wants to stay in a quiet area.
The Perfect Cozy Cottage
The Beach House was the perfect cozy cottage for my young son and me. We wanted to be in town to enjoy the amenities of small town living - and the proximity to new friends - and the Beach House met all our needs. Wil and Beth were very gracious and responsive hosts. We would love to rent from them again!
Great unit, Good location.
Great unit with lots of space. Upstairs has two bedrooms (one with a queen and the other with twin bunks and a full) and a bathroom. Basement level has a queen bed and entertainment area, along with laundry. All three levels have either a patio or balcony with a harbor view. (You can *almost* get a complete sunset view from the highest patio, but it is slightly obscured). Unit was very clean and in great shape. Full kitchen with all appliances and utensils. TV with Dish in the family room and a smaller TV downstairs with a Wii for the kids. It's within walking distance to a really nice beach and playground as well as a walk-out pier with a lighthouse. It's also not far from downtown Manistee. Didn't have a chance to check out the clubhouse on this trip, but that has pools (indoor and outdoor) as well as fitness rooms. All in all, no complaints. Everything worked as it should and working with the owner Jim was hassle-free. Thanks for allow us to stay at your place!

And now it's time for Data Warehouses as a Service
Poor old Teradata - the data warehouse kingpin and lord over real-time global toaster inventory information. First it gets attacked by a host of data warehouse appliance makers, trying to undercut it on price. And now it's being hit by buzzword-based business models from those firing up DaaS (data warehouse as a service) systems …
words between the buzz
This looks so good, I read it twice to make sure I didn't understand it.
In my corner, we are less looking for sophisticated real-time analysis, and more at sorting through garbage for useful titbits.
- can we outsource our SAP business warehouse? - 10 minutes wait for query-on-demand sounds great, our offshore developers turn one around in 3 months.
- if rules processing is minimised, perhaps it can provide insight into multiple flags meaning almost the same thing to different departments.
- getting results without rules processing sounds even better.
Still, your advertising machine threw up some interesting suggestions, thanks. I guess that is what buzzwords are for.

SUNY Maritime Ranked a Top 10 US Public College
The State University of New York (SUNY) Maritime College says it has been ranked sixth in public colleges in the North Region by U.S. News & World Report in the 2015 rankings of the nation's top colleges and universities, released today by the publisher.
