St Giles London – St Giles Classic Hotel
The room was ok - the furnishings were a bit shabby, but that's expected in 'budget' hotels.
There is basically no sound proofing in this hotel. The road noise was constant, with Inverness Terrace a busy road. Internally, every sound from neighbouring rooms could be clearly heard - conversations, tv, kitchen sounds, hair dryers etc etc. This was the worst noise level I've ever experienced in any hotel!
I didn't like the fact that there's no lift/elevator in the building I stayed and we had to carry our heavy luggages to level 3. They could have put that in the description as a warn. Especially when i travelled with an elderly it was really difficult. Tried asking them to change a room in ground floor but they won't let me although I was told a room would be available the next day.
Was right next to Hyde Park Right near metro Able to store bags after checking out
Noisy if on bottom floor No notes about wifi even though available couldn't log in
Location was perfect Apartment was a good size Bed was comfy
The Pillows were not the best - very lumpy
the location is great, near to underground, shops & supermarkets, bars, cafes - its all on the next street. the apartment was good and had all the essentials for a short stay. The cool air fan was a bonus as the apartment was very warm
3 flights of stairs, but thats my age. The apartment could benefit from a bit more property managment. While very clean, there was an undetected (or ignored) leak in the kitchen area that caused a bit of a damp smell. Fortunately it was unseaonably warm and were able to open the window.
The location is pretty central.
The back garden of our building (81) was used as a storage place for building materials,with builders entering and leaving incessantly which means the doors were left open at almost all times.The lock,btw, was not working the first three days.On top of this, the builders used the backside of the building as a generic garbage tip,leaving food waste etc on the ground.Our flat was entered by someone who nicked a mobile phone but the hotel showed no interest in helping despite leaving the exterior door open for anyone to enter the premises.This goes to show that you can get away with anything in London for as long as you keep your prices at the lowest end.Shockingly bad.
Location is great. Rooms are OK. WiFi is free and high speed (despite that you have to login to it quite often). Reception desk is great, however maintenance crew do no speak english. Room change is possible
There is no information about that rooms can be located in basements (!!!). Most of basements rooms are COLD despite heating it can be still cold (We were in November). Most of big rooms are in basements however if you request change you might end up in small room that have been converted in "studio" - very little space.
The wasn't controlled from the flat
convenient to restaurants and tube
multiple buildings. People screaming at each other all night.
Location was great opposite tube station, lots of places to eat and drink.
Limited parking with permit holders and limited parking times.
Wifi works well.
Small rooms and cleaning could be better.
Location was great, easy to find Living area was clean and bed was comfy. Nice quiet room
Initially hit by smell of cigarette smoke - even after windows open, the smell was still there as we left - not pleasant as a non smoker! Lots of stairs to tackle with the suitcases Mould and smelly drains in the bathroom - clearly been a flood at some point. Not pleasant and could not brave getting in the shower - needs a good scrub
Didnt like anything at all!
Untidy, no room service, congested toilet bathroom, too many sex noises from adjacent rooms, highly non-recommended for family stay! Embarrassed staff couldn't do anything, jammed sink, not value for money at all!!! Don't go this suite! Better book a hotel room!
location, near to tub station
90 steps to 4th floor, no lift
Great location. Nice studio - small but adequate. Combo oven/microwave and spotlessly clean fridge, along with a 2-ring hob, meant I could be completely self-sufficient. No daily clean as you would get in a hotel but I liked that, as I wanted to hang out in my studio and not be disturbed! Felt like I was actually living in London, rather than just staying there... If you see what I mean?
People outside smoked A LOT and the smoke came up to my (4th floor) room. Beware: You check in at no. 55 but they own various converted buildings on the street so you may have to walk along the street to your room. No lifts to your room. The pillows are not hotel-quality, and the bed had a few lumps...BUT for the money, it was absolutely superb. Location amazing. Just be aware this is NOT a hotel, just small self-catering rooms. Expect foreign student parties!
Lights not working 1st night and lights for downstairs could only be switched-on and off from upstairs. Door handle hanging off and the shower doors stiff. Bottom sheet for bed too small leaving bare mattress at top. Noise from fridge extremely loud and TV wouldn't functin at all. Noise from apartment above like a herd of buffalo.
Don't let the photo's fool you when booking online. The room was awful. Curtains and carpet was dirty and room smelt. Had to buy air freshener to try to remove smell. Double bed was small and uncomfortable. We were moved to another room but was no better.
Location was fine near tube stations. Disappoint with the size of the room but very comfy bed and generally quite clean. Basic but good value given recent London price hikes.
Small room hot and claustrophobic, kitchen scruffy and needed attention. Bathroom modern clean but tiny. Stayed two nights wouldn't want to be there longer.
The apartment was cosy and liked the bedroom layout upstairs.
The walls were paper thin and when you have young children staying with you, you don't want to hear certain noises from the next room . They should try to keep families away from younger people who want to party.smoking cigarettes etc shouldn't be allowed in rooms . The smell was awful in the corridors.
We had recently been let down on a house that was booked 18 months previous but we were recommended the Hyde Park Suites. These fell into our available pot of money as we had so much monetary commitment for the weekend and time was of the essence to get somewhere for all of us to stay. I was upfront that this was a hen weekend and some people refused our booking because of this. Bassel Ibrahim was very very helpful and arranged that we had the pax 4 ready for 12 noon so that we could decorate up for the bride to be (my daughter) who was being brought to London an hour later.
I booked 3 suites to accommodate 10 people, it would have been nice to have all been in the same building as we wanted to have breakfast together in our pj's! It was quite a trek up to the top floor of no 34, good job we didn't have any elderly people with us.
2 min walk from bayswater tube , easy check in , room comfortable and clean. Five min walk to Hyde park and Kensington palace and twenty min walk to Notting hill
Not a problem for me but we were on third floor no lifts and lots of stairs so request the appropriate room wEn u book .
The hotel is very close to queensway underground, and very easy to go everywhere.many restaurants and 2local shops to buy food too.
So noicy during night.
Staff Location
1st bed had Hole in headboard Moved apartments twice 2nd bed had broken slats Damaged bathroom flooring Ripped seating areas
Location was excellent
The noise from the street and the group of people that hung about out side the accommodation. There was a lot of drug action on the streets

Which console has brighter future?(Xbox One. or Wii U)

1) Xbox One probably. The Wii U hasn't been advertised well and it has a lot of undeserved negative publicity from the gaming community. I do think the Wii U will be a solid third as sales seem to be picking up slowly and people start to see how good the console can be based on pure fun.
2) For me, I would want all consoles to end on the same level. Highly successful and highly profitable. The better the consoles do the more great games I have to play - Why do you want a console to be more successful than the other? Were gamer's here... we should want AAA titles on all platforms.
3) Xbox One has the hardware to have a bright future. Wii U has the input for a innovative future.

Xbox One because I think it will appeal to a much wider variety of gamers. It will have big-selling exclusives of its own as usual as well as solid third party support. I disagree with the approach Nintendo and MS have taken, but I think MS have done better and would like to see the Xbox One sell more than Wii U.

Why no option for both
Because there never will be 2 winners. Those consoles can´t sell same much. Very different systems.

Xbox One.
WiiU has already been pinned as the Next Wii.
But it'll probably end up as the Next Dreamcast or Gamecube in terms of Support

Anyone in their right minds know that it's dumb to even compare both to each other. For one, they're not fighting for the same demographic. Nintendo will literally have to ship real human body parts to the home of every of their fans before they lose their hardcore audience. That audience ins't going anywhere anytime soon. And as for Xbox One. MS has 3rd party along with their brodude core audience so as long as Xbox Live exists, the XBone isn't going anywhere.

at the moment the X1. it has the potential to attract people outside gaming with its TV functionality, it has a formidable weapon in the form of xbox live and it will get the 3rd party support with plenty of exclusive and timed exclusive content.
for the wiiu to be successful nintendo need to find its wii sports. if they dont the wiiu will, sadly, face oblivion...probably reaching only GC numbers. with mario world failing to set the charts on fire nintendo dont even have that to bail the wiiu out anymore.
if nintendo do find the wiius tetris/wii sports though then it will be very competative against the PS4 and will become the defacto complimentary console (which is a strategy nintendo should be targeting at this stage). that is a very big if though.

I think Microsoft has more invested and needs the Xbox One to do much better than the Wii U for them to consider it a success. I really doubt the XB1 ends up being as profitable for MS as the Wii U will be for Nintendo.

Depends on what you mean. Microsoft is $7 billion in the red with the Xbox, so I doubt it has much of a future at all, unless they do the impossible which is to sell more than $7 billion worth of consoles and games this generation, which is not going to happen.

I'm sick of Microsoft and I kind of wish they fail especially because had all that anti-consumer stuff in place.
Even if they removed most of it just because they planned to have it before all the backlash makes me hope the Xbox One fails.
If they never did that anti-consumer stuff in the first place I would hope that all three systems succeed.

I want PS4 to do the best out of them all, and I want Xbox One to crash and fail horribly. Why? Because:
Xbox One: Microsoft has to understand the importance of quality gaming over quality tv time. Make better games, make better exclusives. If I buy a $500 console, it better be a performance god. If it isn't, someone wasn't thinking clearly over at Microsoft. I don't mind Kinect, I think it's cool, just give me great games that make proper use of it and all will be good. Also, make a proper pay service. I at least get some cool games out of PSN Plus.
Wii U: Not much to complain about this one, Nintendo releases another console with 7 year old hardware. It's a pretty stupid decision, but for some reason it made sense over at Nintendo. You have excellent first party, so stick with it, just mix things up more and that's it. The Wii and 3DS are solid, stick with the fun innovations but avoid the terrible hardware and incompetent online component.

1. Which will sell more: Xbox One
2. Which I prefer: Wii U
3. Which will have a brighter future: Seems too relative a term to say. I think the Wii U will have decent sales with a solid library of games - which is in my eyes a bright future. Xbox One will have a lackluster library (in my opinion), and good sales. Which is also a bright future from the company's perspective. But some gamers will like the library too, so that's bright too.

Wait until E3 for X1? What are they going to show? lol...
I truly believe both will do just fine, but if the Wii U continues to kick out killer games then I feel Nintendo has a much better chance of hanging tough than people think. Am I saying the Wii U will do better than the X1? No... not necessarily, however, Nintendo has momentum and I think the race will definitely be for 2nd place with neither having a HUGE edge. That being said, I still believe the X1 will probably do better.

Nintendo has far bigger potential when it comes to games for it. X1 doesn't seem to have that many games attached to it atm and most of them are done by 2nd party studios

I choose Wii U. Xbone doesn't really seem to have any major exclusives on their way because we all know Halo fell off a while ago, and how much further can they carry KI?
Nintendo on the other hand will never run out of games to make

Police were called to a house in the Castleview Court area of the town on Sunday morning following reports that 36-year-old Mairead McCallion had suffered head injuries.
She was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, but died on Monday.
Ms McCallion did not reside in the house in which she was attacked.
A murder investigation has now been launched by the PSNI's Serious Crime Branch and a special incident room has been set up at Omagh Police Station.
Dectectives are following a number of positive lines of enquiry.
The PSNI said: "Anyone who can assist with any information about this incident is asked to contact the Incident Room on 0845 600 8000."
Paying tribute, Dr Josephine Deehan, an SDLP councillor for Omagh, said: "Well, I've known Mairead for a long number of years. I found her to be an exceptionally warm and gentle person.

GardenHouse Hostel - Cracow's newest and hottest hostel ever.
1/2 block from Market Square in Old Town (Perfect Location). Nice, clean, safe. Very friendly, helpful staff. Best part: They allowed me to bring my motorcycle INSIDE!! Up a BIG step through the entrance, down a beautiful marble hallway, up a flight of 4 steps, more hallway, a courtyard and then parked in the hallway opposite the 24 hour reception desk. VERY secure. I ride a BWM F650 GS Dakar. I recruited 2 helpers to lift the front wheel up the steps. This (of course) will be more difficult with a larger bike. The floor is beautiful so please be very careful not to damage it (or anything else). This is really a fantastic place for a motorcycle traveler to stay so please make a good impression for those who will follow. Thanks!

What the Cast of 'Twin Peaks' Look Like Now
In the words of Agent Cooper, "I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange."
David Keith Lynch (born January 20, 1946) is an American director, screenwriter, producer, painter, cartoonist, composer, video and performance artist. Lynch has received three Academy Award nominations for Best Director, for The Elephant Man (1980), Blue Velvet (1986), and Mulholland Drive (2001). Lynch has won awards at the Cannes Film Festival and Venice Film Festival.
In the words of Agent Cooper, "I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange."
What's all the fuss about? If you've never seen "Twin Peaks," allow us to explain.
Fans of legendary film director David Lynch haven't been treated to many movies of his in the last decade, but Lynch has been active as a musician, releasing one album -- "Crazy Clown Time" -- in 2011, followed by an upcoming LP called "The Big Dream." Though the new album is set for a July 15 release in Europe (July 16 in the U.S.), you can now listen to it in its entirety on Pitchfork.
Award-winning director (and three-time Oscar nominee) David Lynch (of Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks fame) and the David Lynch Foundation Television have teamed up with mobile video marketer Mogreet to bring video MMS messages to Lynch fans. We spoke with Mogreet and the David Lynch Foundation about the technology, the purpose of the campaign and how the DLF is using social media and technology to further its message.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Martin prepares for new role as Morris MLA
Newly elected Shannon Martin was busy wrapping things up at his former job as executive director of a non-profit and preparing to start work as the MLA for Morris two days after the constituency's Jan. 28 byelection.
Progressive Conservative candidate Martin, 43, easily won the byelection with 2,642 votes compared to the first runner-up, NDP candidate Dean Harder, who secured 488 votes.
"I'm thrilled to be here," Martin said.
The La Salle resident said he thinks a combination of factors contributed to his victory. He felt he was able to connect with many residents, and listened to their opinions.
"There is anger out there related to the PST hike," he said, referring to the 1% increase that took effect last July 1. He heard some people complain about the extra cost, while others were annoyed over the NDP government's failure to hold a public referendum on the increase.
Already named as Opposition critic for Conservation and Water Stewardship, Martin said he knows some constituents are still waiting for compensation for damage caused by the 2011 flood. He plans to work on implementing infrastructure changes needed to prevent future flood damage.
However, he also said he'll join his fellow Opposition members to keep an eye on provincial spending.
"The underlying theme is one of fiscal responsibility," he said.
Even though his party isn't in power, he believes he can be effective in helping constituents in dealing with the provincial government, and help them to cut through bureaucracy.
He has just over a month to set up an office in the legislature and constituency.
"Somewhere where the constituents can get hold of me," he said.
He said he wasn't sure in which community he'll locate his office.

Inside the Aesthetica Art Prize Anthology, works from exciting new and emerging artists from around the world are displayed with an accompanying biography and artist's statement. There are 100 practitioners included and they span across all media from sculpture and installation to video and performance.
Magnus Quaife, Like a Child Running a Stick Along a Fence, Works | Projects
Art history is replete with romantic mythologies, few more potent than the artist as obsessive maker, working round the clock in his studio or in the landscape, as was the case with one of modern art's most famous obsessives, Paul Cezanne, around whom Magnus Quaife's solo show, Like a Child Running a Stick Along a Fence at Works | Projects, is framed.
Liverpool Contemporary Arts Fair, 3-6 July

Housing 150 artists, Bow Road Studios consist of a renovated Nunnery (now also a gallery space); its surrounding four-storey buildings, and the recently converted biscuit factory, P1 Studios.
Interview with London Design Festival Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert
For the London Design Festival 2014, Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert has joined forces with Champagne Perrier-Jouët to create a unique glass piece called Human Nature to be installed at the Victoria & Albert. Born in Paris but raised on the west coast of Africa, Wintrebert draws on his experience of the world to produce delicate and beautiful glass works. Creating his works at a small factory in Waldsassen, Bavaria, the artist speaks to Aesthetica about his hopes to establish a permanent studio in France and his plans for the V&A.

PhotoIreland Festival, Dublin
The theme for the fifth edition of PhotoIreland Festival is Truth, Fact, Fiction, Lies. Looking at how photography is used for storytelling, the festival presents 27 photographers exhibiting in various venues around the city centre.
Arik Levy, Uncontrolled Nature, Louise Alexander Gallery, Porto Cervo, Sardinia.
The Louise Alexander Gallery in Sardinia presents Arik Levy's first solo show at the gallery. Uncontrolled Nature features a collection of new work in combination with older pieces and Levy showcases a wide range of sculptures that exist like a trail of landmarks alongside paintings and other artworks. Shown for the first time are RockTripleShift and RockTripleFusion Vertical, his ambitious new pieces displaying contrast between fusion and separation – a representation of both the horizontal and the vertical.
The Photographic Object, 1970, Hauser & Wirth, New York
Peter Bunnell's 1970 MoMA show Photography Into Sculpture proved a landmark in photographic practise, through its presentation of photographic images arranged in a sculptural manner, and it also gave valuable national exposure to photography as a highly-innovative contemporary art discipline. As well as capturing the revolutionary mood of the times, by showcasing artists working at the vanguard of what was occurring socially, politically, and technologically, it was an exhibition whose legacy continues to exert an influence on photographic practice today.
The Human Factor: The Figure in Contemporary Sculpture, Hayward Gallery, London
Part of the Southbank Centre's Festival of Love, The Human Factor will bring together major works from 25 leading international artists across the last 25 years. The artists involved have all fashioned new ways of using the figure in contemporary sculpture and confront the question of human representation today. The exhibition focuses on sculpture that explores a variety of social, political, cultural and historical concerns and it incorporates diverse references from science fiction to war monuments.
Review of Spencer Finch: The Skies can't keep their secret
Spencer Finch has on the wall of his studio a postcard of a watercolour by Turner. Impressed by its dynamic of figuration and abstraction, and the fluidity of the watercolour echoing the motions of the sea, Finch seems always to have had Turner in mind with his own manipulations of the elements. Taking as his starting point Turner's A Wreck (possibly related to Longships Lighthouse, Land's End) (1834-40), Finch has selected from the Tate collection works on paper by Turner of the Margate coast. Displayed in a dimly lit corridor before you enter the exhibition, these works are a window onto the very world that Finch employs – a world of ever-changing light.
Genius Loci: Spirit of Place, Palazzo Franchetti, Venice, Italy
This summer the Lisson Gallery collaborates with Berengo Studio to present an exhibition that coincides with the occasion of the 14th International Architecture Biennale in Venice. The show examines the complex spheres of the public realm and the built environment, existing beyond the walls of the museum or gallery space. In this manner public art can help define the landscape it inhabits, functioning either harmoniously or in dialogue with its environment.
Shelagh Wakely, Camden Arts Centre, London
This summer the Camden Arts Centre dedicates all of its galleries and gardens to a large-scale, major exhibition of work by Shelagh Wakely (b.1932 – d.2011). One of the UK's most influential artists, the exhibition provides the rare opportunity to experience the ephemeral magic of Wakely's work.
Review of Ai Weiwei: According to What? Brooklyn Museum
Ai Weiwei is a master craftsman. Over the years, some critics have suggested he is a great activist but not a good artist. However, Weiwei's work in porcelain, marble and wood, in particular, is astonishingly complex and comparable in vision and execution to the design talents of Leonardo Da Vinci. Running at the Brooklyn Museum until 10 August, Ai Weiwei: According to What? surveys a wide selection of the artist's work from 1983 to the present.
Interview with Aesthetica Art Prize 2014 Winner Sybille Neumeyer
German artist Sybille Neumeyer stunned judges with her eloquent piece, Song for the Last Queen (2013) in the Aesthetica Art Prize, a beautiful light installation comprised of 7,614 bees collected from a naturally collapsed beehive framed within vials of natural honey. Captivating at first glance, the work also invites audiences to reflect upon global issues and imbalances in our ecosystem; at once appreciating the pure and natural beauty of raw materials while confronting the growing gap between consumption and food production, as bees face an ever-rising risk of decline. We speak to Neumeyer about her practice and what inspired her to enter the Aesthetica Art Prize.
Narrating Objects: Unlocking the Stories of Sculpture, Leeds Art Gallery, Leeds
Leeds Art Gallery presents its new sculpture collection, showcasing a number of recent acquisitions for the first time. The display is designed to explore the relationship between sculture and narrative, unlocking the stories that surround key works in the Leeds collection. All sculptures contain stories, whether they are the result of the artist's thinking, the process of making, display or reception, or the context in which the works are experienced. Inevitably, these narratives influence the ways in which the art is perceived and, in turn, help to shape our understanding of the world.

Review of The Strange City, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov at The Monumenta, Grand Palais, Paris
Ilya and Emilia Kabakov had set their Strange City under the glass-and-steel passages of Grand Palais. Commissioned by the Monumenta, the exhibition proposes a double total installation: these are already known to Kabakov's viewers and are situated in featureless pavilions of a total city installation formed under the cupola of the Grand Palais. It is explicitly echoed in the forms of The Dome, positioned at the entrance of the city. Inspiration for this soaring colour-changing installation takes its roots from the theory of the Russian musician, Alexander Scriabin, who created a colour organ, "clavier à lumières", appropriated the synesthetic system, and who was influenced by Newton's Opticks and theosophical theories of Jean Delville and Helena Blavatsky.

5 To See This Weekend
Numerous galleries are throwing open their doors this weekend, after lying dormant for the winter months, and there's some wonderful, fresh exhibitions to be seen. Tate St Ives looks back at its own history in its first show this year and Jupiter Artland explodes in to the season with three shows in its Edinburgh location. The politically charged works of Judy Chicago in New York, and Neal Fox in Paris, address important issues in their own innovative styles, while Rob Tucker's playful paintings glorify the prosaic. Read on to find out more about our recommended exhibitions for the next two days.
Ai Weiwei, Lisson Gallery, London 23 May-12 July
Ai Weiwei is one of the leading cultural figures of his generation and consistently displays great courage in placing himself at risk to affect social change through art. His work often challenges the political systems in place in China and he was secretly detained in 2011, spending 81 days accompanied only by his interrogators and the scant furnishings of his cell.
5 To See This Weekend
There's some great art to be found in cities the world over this weekend and we select a list of the top five exhibitions. In Paris, Bill Voila's video work engulfs the Grand Palais, while photography is the concern in London, as artists look to the medium for formal experimentation as well as political debate. In New York, iconic furniture design is displayed next to a selection of fine art, creating yet another intriguing and innovative discussion within the white space of an art gallery. Make sure you pop in and join the conversation.

Levelized rates can serve customers' interests, while also accelerating capital investment and providing an economic stimulus to the economy.
Exceptions to the Rule: Bypassing the California Transition Charge
installing new microgeneration. How regulators will respond to such requests is uncertain.
The bill however, does specifically exempt improvements to existing cogeneration and allows the installation of fuel cells to reduce CTC-compromised load, unless the California Energy Commission (CEC) holds otherwise.
Irrigation districts
By far the most far-reaching CTC exemptions fall to irrigation districts (em a total of 185 Mw of CTC exemptions phased in over five years (em beginning in 1997, one year ahead of general direct-access competition. Some analysts and utilities claim these exemptions will "cost" up to $87 million, with the liability spread to other customers within the commercial/ agricultural rate classes that must bear the CTC. Others, however, argue that restrictions on the exemptions will limit their economic impact.
For example, the bill says that costs associated with public-agency CTC exemptions can be collected from other customers (presumably through the public benefits charge), but only $50 million of any balance remaining after 2002 would be eligible for recovery.
The lion's share of the exemption (em 75 Mw (em goes to the Merced Irrigation District (MDID), which only recently joined the ranks of irrigation districts that also serve as utility retail power sellers. Garith Krause, MDID's chief financial officer, says the exemption was part of a compromise meant to protect irrigation districts' independent, legal, unlimited authority to act as retailers [Water Code Sec. 22115].
According to the CEC, there are at least 67 irrigation districts in the state. Though only four currently sell power to retail customers (em Merced, Modesto, Turlock, and Imperial (em the state water code could allow many others to enter the field.
Many irrigation districts and other water agencies were preparing for competitive power opportunities through aggregation plans being formulated by the Association of California Water Agencies. Although most of these districts and agencies (em such as the 2.5 Mw Delano-Earlimont Irrigation District (em have small individual loads, heavy use in summer peak periods causes a higher-than-average utility rate. Given the early-entry advantages of AB 1890, several of these districts and agencies could combine with local customers to take advantage of their share of these CTC exemptions.
MDID appears to be the big winner from this exemption, along with a few customers it has targeted in the town of Livingston, where it has already spent about $2.5 million to build a substation and extend distribution lines to serve the Foster Poultry Farms facility and adjacent energy users.
Although load covered by the CTC exemption must be generally within MDID's territory and served by district distribution facilities, the law also allows MDID to expand its reach to cover the nearby Castle Air Force Base.
Krause notes that while more than 300 Mw of electric load exists in eastern Merced County, "it's unlikely we could have gotten it all" (em certainly not without fighting PG&E over collecting the CTC. The 75-Mw CTC exemption afforded by the new law will be opened up 15 Mw each year of the exemption period, so MDID should be able to compete more aggressively later.
The CEC will allocate the other 110

At the World Twenty20 championships — despite the lack of publicity, despite tickets being sold at almost-ridiculous rates — the stands have been filling up. About 10 years ago, things weren't this good in the English game.
Not only was the national team struggling to string together meaningful results (read no Ashes victory in over 16 years at the time), county cricket, the backbone of the sport in the country, was pretty much on life support as far as spectator interest went.
It was then that Stuart Robertson, along with John Carr — both marketing men at the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) — were asked to draw up a proposal to revive the game. After some extensive market research (commissioned at over Ł200,000) and lots of head-scratching, they came up with Twenty20.
Robertson is acknowledged as the inventor of T20 cricket although he has slipped away from the glaring spotlight the game has been under since 2003 when it made its debut in England. And what was once a solution simply to bring people back to the grounds — and many critics shrugged off as a short-lived gimmick — has turned into what's being spoken about, not in whispers any more, as the future of the game itself.
"The Benson & Hedges Cup, which the T20 championship replaced then, used to get crowds of just 500-1000 people. For T20 county games though, we started getting in five to six thousand people — and most were just general public buying tickets, as opposed to members just strolling in otherwise. So, financially, it had a big impact on the game here," he told The Indian Express.
Did he know, then, that it would grow to such proportions in such a short time? "I'd be lying if I said I did. All credit to the Indian board and the IPL. But at the same time, I'm not really surprised."
The story behind how they locked down on 20-overs-a-side is interesting. "We actually just worked backwards from what time we could play till. In the summers, we have daylight till about 8.30 pm. We wanted people to come in after work, so we had a window of about three hours. It wasn't rocket science, really," he said.
It wasn't as if shorter formats of the game hadn't been tried before. Super 6 contests used to draw sporadic interest while New Zealand really pushed hard to make Max Cricket popular. Max, a 10-over contest, had some interesting tweaks as well, like the Max Zone straight down the ground, where runs got doubled.
"Max cricket was too gimmicky. It was a different game," Robertson said. "We never wanted T20 to be an end in itself, just the means to an end, which was getting people back watching cricket at the grounds. As far as our aims went, those new spectators would then, in turn, get attracted and addicted to the longer formats."
That has pretty much gone out of the window now, with concerns regularly being raised about the future of Test cricket and one-day cricket. Forget Twenty20, it's Twenty20 club cricket that is now being seen as the future.
"Personally, I like the longer format. But at the end of the day, it's really not about what I like or what you like, it's about what the spectator likes. Though the one-day format would probably be the one to suffer first, I feel Test cricket needs to move on, it needs to reinvent itself and become more competitive. Every match has to stand for something, probably they need to work on the failed 1999 Asian Test championship experiment again (in which India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka had faced off in Tests)," said Robertson, now involved with Hampshire cricket, his next aim getting the Rose Bowl stadium Test status.
But what about overkill? Isn't Twenty20 in danger of going the one-day way — predictable to the point of being boring? "As of now, it seems unlikely. But I have an idea that could bring more intrigue into T20 cricket," he laughed. Break the matches down into two innings of 10 overs each, he said, but with teams only having 10 wickets to play with over two innings. "Batsmen will have to play smarter cricket then, and it would give teams a chance to fight back."
Don't snigger — it might well be the future.

This is for an in-ground pool cover application. Tired of dealing with the water bags and messy cover every spring. Wife doesn't want the snap-lock fasteners drilled into the patio so those Rhino covers aren't going to work.
Thinking about fabricating removable 4' wide by 16' long panels, in much the same manner I would frame a wall - pressure treated 2x4's 16"OC with 3/4 plywood top. The pool is 12' wide by 22' long. I would need to fabricate 6 of these panels, lay them out over the pool to form a rigid cover, and (re)move in the spring time and stack somewhere in the yard.
Would like to use 2x4s as the overall thickness of the panels would be easier to store as well as lighter to remove, move and re-install each autumn.
Question is, I live in the north east, (NYC suburb) where we have snow fall. Would the PT 2x4s be able to handle the snow load, and my(240lbs) body walking across?
Any insight is appreciated,

I always see her described as "kooky," but I think Ms. Bonham Carter is absolutely lovely. I wish I could carry off her style.
