Solar PV and Renewable Energy Industry Discussions and Updates
DECC briefing on the Feed In Tariff appeal 26/01/12 part 1
The Government today released a guide to their take on the current situation with the Feed In Tariff levels, the court decisions and what their decision to apply for permission to appeal to the Supreme court means.
Leeds Solar have reproduced it in 2 parts. This is part 1, part 2 is available at this link
DECC briefing on the Feed In Tariff Appeal 26/01/12 part 1
GB Feed in Tariffs Scheme | Key Facts
By mid January, there were nearly 210,000 PV installations with a capacity of 840MW - a total capacity that is far more than we originally projected under the scheme.
OFGEM reports another 36MW of large-scale in pipeline.
More small scale PV capacity (380MW) installed in the 6 weeks between launch of the FITs consultation and the proposed reference date (12 December) than in the whole of the year before then (310 MW).
Rates of return have doubled – 5% to 10%
PV costs have fallen at least 30% since April 2010
Electricity prices have risen 13%
Each week at mid-November installation rates and tariffs costs £275m (over 25 yrs)
On latest data, doing nothing would add £40p/a in 2020 to domestic electricity bill (was £26 in IA)
Not doing the Fast Track review on large-scale would have added additional £10 to consumer bills in 2020
GB Feed in Tariffs Scheme | Current consultation proposals
Cost to consumers by 2014-15: £250m-£280m, £2.60-£2.80p/a on average domestic electricity bill.
Could be higher given recent installation rates – £320m-£360m in 2014/15, or £3.30-£3.60p/a on bills
Typical domestic installation could still earn around £500p/a plus £190 bill savings.
Waiting until 1 April 2012 to make changes would lead to additional costs of:- £60m p/a in 2014/15, adding 80p to bills (Impact Assessment)
Given recent installation rates, could add £160-£170m p/a in 2014/15, or £1.60-£1.80 to bills

''The O.C.'': What's new and what's missing
We're three episodes into the new season, and no one on The O.C. seems to be settling in nicely. Camp Cohen is still covered in plastic, the patriarch is under indictment, Seth is mopping floors, and, uh, Julie? That yard ain't cutting itself. Here's a look at the most notable losses and gains.
Yard Guy (YG) Neither the waxen wonder nor his perfect abs appeared tonight, causing Marissa to brood silently in her colossal room while making the exact same expression as her Care Bear. Hopefully, we haven't seen the last of YG. Not that I like him now. I just like the acronym.
Ryan's tough-guy street cred After submitting blindly to his overbearing guidance counselor's pre-architecture course load, Ryan's suddenly an AP physicist who does his homework at the ''breakfast table.'' But I'm confused, because the Cohens always eat breakfast at the counter.
Hailey She's on North Shore now. What? Nobody cares? Cool.
Kirsten's relative sanity Now that Newport's Man of the Year is most certainly headed for what Seth calls ''a white collar prison with tennis and TiVo,'' Caleb had no choice but to appoint Julie as CEO of the Newport Group. Personally, I'd rather see Julie and Caleb get divorced and Julie gain custody of Caleb's kids, Kirsten and Hailey, per Jimmy's ingenious suggestion.
Lindsay Not-Lohan We know the new girl's cool because she drives a beater with all sorts of wacky liberal bumper stickers, including one for Kerry-Edwards. Just think: If The O.C. had premiered earlier this fall when all the other shows did, John Kerry might be president! That sticker could have really rocked the preteen vote. Lindsay's attention to detail, perfectly preppy wardrobe, face, hair, and everything else about her remind me of Bree from Desperate Housewives, so I'm going to call her Mini-Bree. After Ryan spills coffee on her shirt, elbows her in the face, and forces her to say ''tampons'' twice, he and Mini-Bree coincidentally become lab partners. Awww. And then Ryan says ''tampons'' himself. Ewww.
Alex the Danger Slut Or "that tattoo girl," as Summer calls her. Seth's boss at a nightclub, she gets to walk around looking hot and tough while Seth cleans up and takes tickets (or stops taking tickets and hangs out with Summer instead). Alex has quite possibly the most perfect face for a stripper in the whole world, plus a giant cylindrical hair tornado above her forehead. What was that? I'll be honest it scared me. And she scares Seth.
Summer's shaggy bangs Speaking of bad hair . . . Summer, no! I know bangs are ''in'' and even ''cute'' on many people (Marissa excluded), but Summer's face looks much prettier without them. Where did they even come from? They seem to have miraculously appeared between run-ins with Zach Attack and Seth on the same night. And even more oddly, Seth didn't even acknowledge them before barreling in for an unrequited kiss.
Marissa's cleavage What? When? How?
The sudden nationwide popularity of the Walkmen I thought they were pretty good. Whether they're actually good or I just think they're good because they were on The O.C. is debatable. This show could feature YG whistling while he works (at nothing) and ten minutes later he'd have a record out called The YG: Sounds of the Yard Guy, featuring the hit single "Mischaberry Fields Forever." (''Living is easy when you're snot-nosed/Condescending to all you see . . .'')
What do you think? Will Ryan and Lindsay kiss and make up? Will Kirsten be able to outsmart Julie on the job? And does Seth still have a chance with Summer now that her father has fallen in love with Zach Attack?

Archaeologists in Jordan find 3,000-Year-Old Iron Age Temple and Figurines
By April MacIntyre Sep 2, 2010, 9:34 GMT
Al-Saad said that the sanctuary discovered at Khirbat \'Ataroz near the town of Mabada, some 20 miles (32 kilometers) southwest of the capital Amman, shows the advanced worship practices in Jordan\'s ancient Moabite kingdom, which was mentioned in the Bible. Archaeologists also unearthed some 300 pots, figurines of deities and sacred vessels used for worship at the site. AP Photo/Nader Daoud.
Exciting news from Jordan, where archaeologists have unearthed a 3,000-Year-Old Iron Age Temple with a treasure trove of figurines.
The Associated Press reported that the discovery of a 3,000-year-old Iron Age temple was made public during a press conference in Amman, Jordan, Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2010.
Al-Saad shared the find was discovered at Khirbat 'Ataroz near the town of Mabada, some 20 miles (32 kilometers) southwest of the capital Amman, and the quality of the artifacts show the advanced worship practices in Jordan's ancient Moabite kingdom, which was mentioned in the Bible.
Also found were 300 pots, figurines of deities and sacred vessels used for worship at the site.
The treasure trove of figurines of ancient deities and circular clay vessels used for religious rituals are the pride of Jordan and the Jordanian Antiquities Department head Ziad al-Saad, who said the sanctuary dates to the eighth century B.C..
He said the complex boasts a main room that measures 388 square feet (36 square meters), as well as two antechambers and an open courtyard.
The sanctuary and its artifacts were comprised of limestone and basalt or molded from clay and bronze and reveal the religious rituals of Jordan's ancient biblical Moabite kingdom, according to al-Saad. He also said the objects indicate the Moabites worshipped many deities and had a highly organized ritual use of temples.
"Today we have the material evidence, the archaeological proof of the level of advancement of technology and civilization at that period of time," he said.
The Moabites were closely related to the Israelites, although the two were in frequent conflict, according to the AP.
The Babylonians eventually conquered the Moabites in 582 B.C.
The AP reports that excavations began in Khirbat 'Ataroz in 2000 along with the California-based La Sierra University, but the majority of the items were only discovered in the past few months.
Some of the finds included a four-legged animal god Hadad, as well as circular clay vessels used in holy rites.
The items will be scientifically analyzed and conserved before going on display in Jordan's archaeological museum.

Prepregnancy Vitamin Supplement
Hi Sue,
I am planning to get pregnant in the next few months. I visited a midwife who put me on Stuartnatal 1+1 vitamins, but since they're prescription they don't say what exactly is in them, and the labels from the pharmacist were confusing -- one said "take with milk or food" and the other said "do not take with dairy products." I understand that the iron could bond with calcium, which is a problem, but I would like more info -- i.e. can I have it at breakfast, when I drink coffee with a little milk? Also I can't find a listing of the exact contents.

Dear Jenny,
This is an important question, and one that you should pose to your pharmacist. They are educated in the field of drug and food interactions, and should be very familiar with the contents of the prescriptions that they fill. Conflicting information should be cleared up. Please take this question back to the person that filled the prescription. If they cannot answer the question to your satisfaction, you should go elsewhere.
A recent study that was news in the lay press several months ago highlighted the deficiencies of some pharmacists. They were given false prescriptions to fill for an undercover journalist. The prescription was for two drugs that were dangerous to take together. In a large percentage of the cases, the pharmacists filled both without warning to the customer!
This information is certainly not to scare you, but to let you know that there are particular skills on which you depend on your pharmacists to have. Drug-drug and drug-food interactions are one of them.
More often than not, vitamins are recommended to be taken with food, since other, unidentified factors, may help in the absorption of the vitamins and minerals. It is also true that certain food factors cannot only enhance but also inhibit the absorption of specific vitamins and minerals. For example, iron absorption is greatly enhanced in the presence of vitamin C, but may be inhibited by such things as calcium phosphate, bran, and the polyphenols in tea. Zinc absorption is greatly reduced by the presence of bran, and enhanced by the presence of white bread, milk and soy.
Nutrition is a highly complex biochemical process and often the search for a simple answer will reveal that one is not to be found. In this case, your pharmacist should be able to tell you the best way to take the vitamin. It may not be the optimum way for all nutrients present in that supplement, but hopefully it will be the best way on average. Just the fact that you are preparing for pregnancy by using a supplement at all is a great sign that you are aware of the importance of nutrition in the successful outcome of a pregnancy, even before being pregnant. Kudos to you for your proactive steps.

WASHINGTON, DC – Please attribute the following statement to Audrae Erickson, president, Corn Refiners Association.
"Sugar is sugar. High fructose corn syrup and sugar are nutritionally and metabolically equivalent; experts have supported this claim, including the American Dietetic Association and the Center for Science in the Public Interest.*
"The name 'corn sugar' more accurately describes this sweetener and helps clarify food products labeling for manufacturers and consumers alike. The Corn Refiners Association petitioned the Food & Drug Administration in September 2010 to more succinctly and accurately describe what this natural ingredient is and where it comes from—corn.
"High fructose corn syrup makes many healthy foods palatable and affordable for American consumers. It is disappointing that another sweetener would sue the competition for its own gain – and stand in the way of consumer clarity about added sugars in the diet.
"Simply, this lawsuit is without merit, and we will vigorously defend our right to petition the FDA to clear up consumer confusion about the name.
"We stand by the message in our ads and the science behind it."
* Sources:
The American Dietetic Association: "High fructose corn syrup … is nutritionally equivalent to sucrose. Both sweeteners contain the same number of calories (4 per gram) and consist of about equal parts of fructose and glucose. Once absorbed into the blood stream, the two sweeteners are indistinguishable." Hot Topics paper on High Fructose Corn Syrup, December 2008
Michael Jacobson, Ph.D., Executive Director, Center for Science in Public Interest: "The bottom line is there isn't a shred of evidence that high-fructose corn syrup is nutritionally any different from sugar." USA Today, March 2, 2010
The Corn Refiners Association (CRA) is the national trade association representing the corn refining industry in the United States. CRA and its predecessors have served this important segment of American agribusiness since 1913. Corn refiners manufacture sweeteners, ethanol, starch, bioproducts, corn oil, and feed products from corn components such as starch, oil, protein, and fiber.

View the Science Fair Projects about Heat RetentionThe Science Fair Projects about heat retention compares salt water against tap water.
Science Fair Projects about Heat Retention.
What proves to be retain heat the best - fresh water or salt water?
Abstract: The Feat of Heat
My experiment is about heat retention. The experiment compares the heat retention of salt water against tap water.
My experiment uses two thermometers and special equipment that is used for amateur lab studies. The goal of the experiment is to see if salt has an affect on the heat retention of water.
Question: Does fresh water have a slower or faster heat retention than salt water?
Hypothesis: If salt is added to water then it will it will cool faster then fresh water.
Purpose: The purpose of my experiment is to compare salt water to fresh water and see which one will cool the slowest. I am doing this because keeping heat in foods and materials is very important. If there is a basic material that can increase the heat retention of an object then it can help us in times of need. The variable that I was testing for was the amount of Salt in the water. My constants were: The same container to hold the water. The same starting temperature for both the water samples. The same two thermometers used throughout the experiment.
Materials used: Two identical containers, Two Vernier CBL combatable thermometers (I used stainless steel thermometers), CBL, TI-Calculator compatible with CBL and Datamate software, Clock, Two cups of Water, Two tablespoons of salt, and a Stove.
Conclusion: My hypothesis was right. The salt had an effect on the heat retention of water. As it made the water cool faster after completing two runs, the results were surprising as no obvious differences could be observed. But when the third trail was made the scientific theory came to sense.
Even with this happening I can still find a trend line in that adding salt to water has very little to no effect on the heat retention of water.
On my third trail I added more salt to see if adding more salt made a difference. The salt water-cooled in much less time then the tap water. On my fourth trial the salt water-cooled faster.
However, I wanted to see more dramatic results so on my 5th, 6th, and 7th trial. At this point, I added the amount of salt needed to completely saturate the water. This only raised the boiling point of the water.
Now I thought I could see a difference by analyzing the data. When I looked at the graphs that had been made I could not tell what had happened so I went into the raw data and found the difference between the temperatures of the salt water and the fresh water.
I came to a conclusion after running the tests 7 times. The graphs and the analysis showed that by adding salt the time taken for salt water to reach room temperature decreased.
My Scientific Research included specific heat and lateral heat. In my experiment I changed the specific heat of water by adding salt. Specific heat is the joule per kilogram kelvin, Jkg-1K-1 or J/(kgK), which is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of the substance by one kelvin. Heat capacity can be measured by using calorimetry. (Refer to research for more info). When I added Salt I changed the specific heat from 1 (fresh water) to .94(salt water).
When researching I came up with an article about salt changing the boiling point of water. I added 3 tablespoons of salt in my third trial to see if adding more salt were to make a difference in the heat retention. It made the boiling point of the water 101 degrees.
Another scientific term I came across was an endothermic reaction. This type of reaction deals with the loss of heat. This loss of heat by adding salt could have caused an endothermic reaction. If it did we could help keep foods and materials warmer by adding salt to them. But with more research I have found that salt does not cause this special reaction.
My Future questions were: What other chemicals help water retain its heat for longer? Does the Dead Sea have a different temperature or different properties because of its level of Salt? What properties of water can we change to make its heat retention longer? Does the density of the substance have anything to do with its heat retention?

33-story-high billboard displays awesome ads for a mile (hopefully)
When a company buys ad space on a billboard, it wants as many people to see its product as possible. A good billboard for that? The 'Podium' ad wall in Dubai: a 33-story-high LED display that can be seen from a mile away. The LED wall is planned for an upcoming commercial building, and its designers are working on building the wall so that it won't block out all of the light reaching the offices it obscures — important for easing energy for lighting, heating and cooling, and making them feel less like bats in a cave.
Let's just hope they turn it off at night, or there's going to be irritated people for a solid mile.

1/12/2014 (Updated 1/13/2014 9:53:08 AM)A man is dead after an apartment fire in Endicott this morning. Police say the incident happened just before 6am in apartment 6 at 319 Exchange Avenue.
Responders found thirty nine year old Michael Kelly dead in the apartment door. Thirty two year old Tasheane Johnson told officials she came home to the apartment in flames and Michael collapsed on the steps. Johnson screamed until a neighbor came to help get Michael out of the apartment.
The upper floor of the apartment collapsed and the adjacent apartments are not currently liveable. Firefighters believed the fire started in the kitchen.
The cause is still under investigation. Code enforcement is looking into a resident's report of the complex's smoke detectors not working.

New board for Athens State on way to approval
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The first board of trustees for Athens State University since it became a public college is on its way to approval.
The Senate Confirmations Committee voted 9-0 Wednesday to approve Gov. Robert Bentley's choices for trustees. They are: Sandra Sims-deGraffenried of Orange Beach, Tazewell Shepard of Huntsville, Clint Shelton of Decatur, Maxine Randolph of Elkmont, state Sen. Arthur Orr of Decatur, Macke Mauldin of Sheffield, Winston Garth Lovvorn Sr. of Athens, Mary Dickens of Meridianville, and Stephen Thornton of Fairhope.
Athens became a public college in 1975 and was put under the State Board of Education. Last year, the Legislature decided Athens needed its own board of trustees like other public universities.
Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh, R-Anniston, said the full Senate may give the trustees final approval Thursday.

How to (Re-)Build a Log Cabin
By floating nearly a hundred trees down a river, collecting them on an island and cutting them into shape with their newly developed chainsaw skills, six students from Dartmouth College rebuilt a treasured log cabin that had burned down. Heres how they got it done.
By Jim Collins
Log Flume
Greg Sokol guides a log up a 40-foot trough at the island's bank. The rig was dubbed the Death Slide after one log snapped the axle of a hand-cranked winch. The solution: A chain-saw-powered Lewis Winch that zipped logs up the slide in seconds. The crew also brought in a mixer and a generatorby canoeand carried 52 80-pound bags of concrete from the shore.

There is nothing worse, for me, than waking up to a beautifully warm day after a long winter period. It's not because I prefer the cold, or for some other similarly weird reason. The reason is because of the realization that the winter has passed and that means all the pounds that have been accumulated during the festive season need to come off pronto!
I've never really had a problem with exercise or watching what I eat, but it is the cravings that happen when I'm at work and low on energy that sabotage my attempts to the fastest way to lose weight year after year. Well, that is until I found a natural appetite suppressant, also called as natural hunger suppressant, that helped me overcome all my problems. Yes, natural. I will not even consider (and never have considered) anything but a natural hunger suppressant.
Begin losing weight with doctor endorsed natural appetite suppressant.
Natural Appetite Suppressant
It's not that I lack the willpower to go without an appetite suppressant that is natural, it's just that everything goes along much slower if I am not using my favorite natural appetite suppressant. Don't get me wrong – caving into the cravings does not happen often enough to slow down my weight loss program, but it another reason altogether and when I found out about it I was totally shocked. No one ever talks about how hunger impacts weight loss and when I found out what I did – it changed my views on the fastest way to lose weight forever.
Did you know that when you feel hungry, your body reacts in a specific way? Now common sense, well at least modern common sense, would dictate that the fat reserves would be used to stop you from going hungry. Right? Not at all! What the body actually does is stop your fat reserves from being used as it think you are going through a drought period (thousands of years of conditioning show on the way the human body behaves after all) and will instead fight to keep every last ounce of fat on your body!
The problem with most pharmaceutical appetite suppressants is that they do not act on the body as a whole. Which is why a natural hunger suppressant is absolutely required when you are looking to lose weight fast. All the natural hunger suppressants have one thing in common and that is the ability to trick both your stomach and your brain into thinking you are full. It's no use having your brain release the chemicals that make you feel full if your stomach is completely empty and your brain is getting mixed signals.
There is another reason why I use a natural hunger suppressant as opposed to a pharmaceutical one – and that is because natural ones give you other beneficial side effects. They will either increase lean muscle mass or they will stop the absorption of cholesterol in your body, in short, nature does not make plants that have one exclusive use, but rather focuses on a range of beneficial attributes. There really is no denying that a natural hunger suppressant is the best way to go when you are looking to lose weight fast.
Click to read more about the World No. 1 Appetite Suppressant that is natural and endorsed by weightloss specialists!
After I realized I need a natural appetite suppressant, I went into full on research mode and found that Hoodia Gordonii is widely considered the best appetite suppressant in the world. However, you need to buy it in tablet form as it is very rare and is only found in South Africa. That is when I stumbled onto ProShapeRX, which has a mixture of ingredients (but does not use ephedra or caffeine) and gives you a wide variety of benefits but the main ingredient is Hoodia Gordonii. It's simply the best and I'm loving it.

Kick-off celebration: Marking 100 years of service with Founders Day Extravaganza
DETROIT — "Celebrating a Century of Sisterhood, Scholarship and Service: Preserving Our Past, Celebrating Our Present and Transforming Our Future." The centennial Founders Day theme of the Detroit Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. speaks to the organization's rich history, prominent membership and mission to serve. The celebratory gala will be held Jan. 26, 2013, at the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center at 4 p.m.
One hundred years ago, 22 college women founded Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, and today the sorority has more than 250,000 members in the U.S., and in eight international chapters. Chapters pay tribute to the ideas of the founders and the mission of the organization by conducting political action, presenting physical and mental health programs, executing educational and economic development programs and serving internationally.
"Delta is the single largest African American women's organization, so it's no wonder that centennial celebrations will take place throughout the year in metro Detroit, to commemorate the social action movement that began on Jan. 13, 1913, on the campus of Washington, D.C.'s historically Black Howard University," said Beverly A. Gray, president of the Detroit Alumnae Chapter.
The keynote speaker is Delta member Ann Claire Williams, United States Circuit Judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Providing entertainment is "neo soul" musical artist Eric Roberson.
"We look forward with pride to celebrating this centennial moment with this extravaganza, a gathering of Detroit's most prominent citizens, as we hear from a dynamic and relevant speaker and celebrate the historical significance of the day that 22 dynamic young women envisioned this sisterhood of service," said Clarice L. Ogilvie Posey, chair of the 2013 Founders Day celebration.
"The gala concert will top-off our Founders Day centennial celebration, as neo soul phenomenon Eric Roberson wows the crowd with his blend of smooth soul and dance beats," said Clara Jenkins, chair of the Founders Day gala. "We hope the public will join us as we celebrate the beginning of the next 100 years."
More than 1,000 Deltas, including elected officials, educators, business and community leaders, along with their guests, are expected to attend the gala, which will include a tribute program, sit-down dinner, live musical entertainment and much more. Tickets are $100. For ticket information, contact B. Brooks email@example.com 313.506.0650.

There was a very scary moment during today's Yankee
Ok I made that up. I've never been to Kansas City.

Honey, with the right stylist, hair and makeup person you could be a smash! Your look is making you look alot older than I'm sure you are. This is the New York Yankees, classy, clean and alluring.

Chick Flick Picks: Quartet
When I get old, I want to live in a place like Beecham House for Retired Musicians. Unfortunately, I am neither British nor a famous musician, so that probably won't be happening, but I did love getting to spend an hour and a half with the Beecham House's residents in "Quartet," directed by Dustin Hoffman.
"Quartet" stars Tom Courtenay, Pauline Collins, Billy Connolly (who will always be Billy McGregor on "Head of the Class" to me) and Michael Gambon (Dumbledore!) and is led by an outstanding (as if we would expect any other kind) performance by Maggie Smith. The erstwhile Dowager Countess plays Jean Horton, an opera diva who used to be married to Tom Courtenay's Reggie and sing with Pauline Collins' and Billy Connolly's characters.
The film deals with poignant topics like aging and the difficulties of dealing with both the past and the future in a beautiful way, helped along no doubt by such strong performances from the cast, the gorgeous setting of Beecham House and breathtaking performances from some of Britain's greatest real-life retired musicians. Overall, it's one of the sweetest movies I've seen in a while, and while it may not be your typical chick flick, I definitely recommend giving it a chance to win you over.
"Quartet" is currently playing in Austin at the Regal Arbor 8.

Sonoma Raceway hosted more than 230 Sonoma Valley children and their families at the eighth annual Race to the Holidays Christmas Party. The Dec. 15 party featured caroling, refreshments, and a visit from Santa Claus, who arrived on a Schell-Vista Fire Department fire truck.
The event, which has served more than 1,800 children since its inception in 2005, culminated with each child, newborns to 12-year-olds, receiving a bag full of toys. "I had so much fun today," said Sonoma's Angeles Qunitero, age six. "My favorite part was getting a gift, getting a stuffed animal and seeing Santa."
Maria Calvillo of La Luz Center, one of six nonprofits to register the young guests said, "This is a great opportunity for these families, some of whom cannot afford gifts this year. It's been a really tough year for some of them, so this means a lot."
The raceway received a generous outpouring of support from the community as more than 700 toys were donated for the party. The raceway also received toy donations from United Site Services and the Sonoma Valley Mother's Club, as well as toothbrushes and toothpaste for each child from the American Red

Research firm GartnerGroup recently released a report with a frightening headline: "An E-Commerce Web Site Costs $1 Million to Build." The report's findings indicate average cost is expected to rise 25 percent annually through the second quarter of 2001 and labor accounts for 79 percent of the total cost. Time to pack up youre-dreams and open something more affordable like, say, a McDonald's? Not so fast. If you're considering opening your own e-commerce store, you're not too late. You're just in time.
There's still plenty of affordable Web room to go around, according to Juanita Ellis and Steffano Korper, co-authors of The E-Commerce Book: Building the E-Empire (Academic Press) and creators of The E-Commerce Program certification courses at Southern Methodist University in Dallas and the University of California, Los Angeles. "Small businesses can actually pay a CSP [commerce service provider] to build as well as host their solution for a fairly low start-up cost," Ellis points out. "Other entrepreneurs are going in and linking into malls. If they're just selling a few products, they can purchase malls that complement their particular product, which means an even lower start-up cost."
E-commerce Web design and hosting companies abound on the Internet as well as in your local Yellow Pages. Need a good place to start? Try ClickZ Network's (http://www.clickz.com) comprehensive listings of online service providers. One popular Web service is iCat (http://www.icat.com), whose iCat Web Store package starts at $9.95 per month and features a familiar Web browser-based store-building wizard for set-up.
If an online mall seems more your speed, you only have to plug "online mall" or "virtual mall" into any search engine, and hundreds will pop up vying for your attention. Take current hot spot Amazon.com. Via their zShops service, merchants sign up to list individual products on the site, at a cost of 25 cents to $2 per listing plus a percentage of the closing price. Visit iMall (http://www.imall.com) for an example of a large virtual mall composed of individual stores. The Web site, http://www.merchantstuff.com, features store-building wizards and services.
The founders of New Enough Motorcycle Leathers (http://www.newenough.com), Paul and Holly Thompson, went the do-it-yourself route. Paul, 39, explains the idea behind their site which buys, sells and trades used and new motorcycle leathers: "It was basically just a [marriage of hobbies]: motorcycling and computers. I've owned six motorcycles over the years and bought jackets and helmets to match each one. When you trade motorcycles, you're stuck with the gear you bought. Then what do you do with it? I thought it would be a good idea to start a Web site and see if anything would come of it."
Armed with just Microsoft FrontPage (FrontPage 2000 is now available for $149 street) and an ISP to host their site, the Thompsons went from minimal sales to selling more than 250 articles of clothing per month. The e-business is now full-time work for the couple. In late 1999, the Thompsons opened a brick-and-mortar showroom in Lubbock, Texas, to complement their Web site.

Hossam Mahmoud commissioned to write Seelenfäden for the 2014 Salzburg Festival
The Salzburg Festival is delighted that the 2013 Grand Arts Prize of the State of Salzburg has been awarded to Hossam Mahmoud. During the 2014 Festival summer, the Ouverture spirituelle and the series Salzburg contemporary will each feature one of the composer's works. "This decision by the jury results in double encouragement for Hossam Mahmoud's creative work during difficult times: on the one hand, there is the 2014 programming of the Salzburg Festival, on the other, this important and generously endowed prize of the State of Salzburg," Festival President Helga Rabl-Stadler emphasises.

'Religion is like a river flowing through many countries. Each country calls this river by a different name, possibly even claiming it for itself. Actually, however, the river is independent of countries and also springs from one source.' This description by the Sufi master Muzaffer Efendi is only one of many metaphors used in Sufism to express that religion is not meant to be divisive but unifying. The term 'Sufism' emerged at the same time as Islam, yet the Sufi philosophy of life can be traced back through all religions and many millennia – to this day, it is unclear whether the word is derived from the Arab word sūf ('new wool'), from the Greek term sophia ('wisdom') or from the Hebrew expression en sof ('it has no end') – to name just a few etymological interpretations.
Since the 12th century hundreds of Sufi orders have been established, and different as their characteristics may be, they all respect each other, for they share the same goal: their teachings focus on love as the only path towards finding God, whose name – Allah الله – consists of four Arab letters: alif أ, lām ل, lām ل, hā ه. The Sufis believe that the absolute, unknown essence of God is expressed by the last letter, audible when breath is slowly expelled, so that no living creature can avoid praising the divine. Therefore, each of their rituals, seemingly arising from silence, begins with the invocation of God's name, growing into chant and, with the oriental musical instruments gradually joining in, into music serving to connect believers with the divine. These rituals are led by the master (sheikh) of the order (tariqa) in question; the sheikh is connected with the divine source of knowledge through a chain of tradition via the Prophet Muhammad. The rituals, not one of which resembles another, are usually held at memorial places for Sufi masters who have died, for death is not an occasion for mourning but for joy, meaning the liberation of the soul, which exists eternally, from the body weighing it down.
Immediately enthusiastic about the idea behind the Ouverture spirituelle, the order Al-Gazoulia from Cairo and its sheikh Salem Algazouly spontaneously declared their willingness to perform a ritual for the first time in a public space at the Salzburg Festival. Orient and occident will then enter into a dialogue on July 24, when the violinist Frank Stadler from Salzburg will incorporate the sounds of Sufi chants into takassim improvisations, building bridges between this spiritual music and Bach's Ciaccona from the Partita in D Minor, for instance. In oriental music, the term takassim refers to soloistic improvisations with an instrument able to produce all nine subtle partial tones which lie between the whole notes in Turkish music. This form of improvisation, which is not intended to display technical virtuosity but to express, within a given framework, emotions and individuality through attention turned inward, is an essential characteristic of Hossam Mahmoud's compositions. With his work Seelenfäden, commissioned by the Salzburg Festival, he recalls the last words of the Sufi master and martyr Mansur Al-Hallağ, brutally executed in 922, words he was reported to have uttered smilingly in the face of death. The personality and poems of this philosopher, who has remained influential to our time, are also the source of inspiration for the new work by Samir Odeh-Tamimi, whose Mansúr was inspired by traditional Sufi rituals. The celebration of nature, of man and the divine – the culmination of every Sufi ritual – also lies at the heart of the works in the Christian tradition presented as part of the Ouverture spirituelle. It is reflected in the opening highlight, Haydn's description of the creation of the world in Die Schöpfung, and in Bruckner's Te Deum, which closes the Ouverture spirituelle and in which heaven and earth join in the praise of God. A new oratorio, so to speak – an instrumental one – has been discovered by Nikolaus Harnoncourt in Mozart's last three symphonies. After studying these works intensely, he is convinced that due to various parameters, they are conjoined in an almost magical way, reflecting the fateful path of man in their succession of keys (E-flat major, G minor, and C major): a path beginning in solemn seriousness, with dramatic conflicts, leading to hopelessness and finally to a triumphant 'hallelujah'.

Disputationes Form Part of the Ouverture spirituelle
Continuing its involvement of the past two years, the Herbert Batliner European Institute cooperates with the Salzburg Festival to accompany the Ouverture spirituelle with scientific debates and discussions. Flanking the concert programme with its focus on Islam, the Disputationes deal with issues of intercultural and interreligious dialogue.
The opening event takes place on July 18, 2014 and will be followed by three public discussions as part of the Ouverture spirituelle.

Today we will use two HD 5670 1GB in CrossFire to hound a single GTX 460 768MB. We found this comparison could be interesting because at the moment you can get one GTX 460 768MB for the price of two HD 5670 1GB cards. Before we go further to the results page please note that not each HD 5670 is CrossFire ready. The card you want use for doubling the performance must have a CrossFire bridge on the PCB, and most of them out there do not have it. We got lucky as the cards we got from XFX and Sapphire have the aforementioned bridge.
Using HD 5670 cards without the CrossFire bridge you will result in the following message:
If the setup is done right than you will be advised to enable CrossFire for enhanced performance.

Q: My kid stepped on my Kindle, and now half of the screen is completely destroyed. Have I lost all of the books I bought? Is there any chance that Amazon will replace it?
A: Sorry about your Kindle! Right now might not be the best time to mention it, but you should really consider getting a hard cover for your Kindle. Fortunately, your books are safe. All of them are waiting for you to redownload once you get a new Kindle. In the interim, you can also read them on the Kindle app on any iPhone, iPad or Android phone or tablet, and you can even read them on the web at http://read.amazon.com.
The other good news is that Amazon provides a limited one-year warranty on all new Kindles. Depending on how long ago you bought your Kindle, Amazon might replace it for free. Go to http://amazon.com/kindlesupport and click "Contact Us" on the right-hand side. From there you'll be given an option to contact Amazon by email, phone or chat. If you're lucky, they might give you a free replacement Kindle. They've also been known to occasionally replace them for half-price if you're out of warranty. Here's something for you to keep in mind, though. Technically, Amazon doesn't have to replace your Kindle because the warranty specifically excludes damage from accident, misuse and neglect, but Amazon's customer service is rivaled only by Apple's in the tech industry. They'll often replace it, even though they don't have to. It probably wouldn't hurt to be nice to them.

Tale of Two Sisters: Part 8
As I sat down with sisters Lisa Thermen and Stacey Vicari for the final time before Thermen returned to Chicago after eight weeks and unbelievable weight loss, Vicari glowed with pride for her sister.
"Oh Lisa, you look REALLY good," Vicari said as she flipped through the photos I had just taken of her sister. "I think you need a full body shot in the paper for sure. Sam, at the risk of being high maintenance, I think you need to take a few more of us."
Despite Vicari's gushing and my insistence that she really did look different, Thermen was apprehensive to admit she looked great.
"See, I can't see a difference," she said.
But the change in her was clear. Having gone shopping for new, smaller clothes a couple days before, she rocked a new pair of crisp, white pants. Now, for all you men out there, understand that not every woman looks good in – or even has the confidence to don – white pants.
"Maybe it wasn't the best color choice," Thermen said as we discussed where to set up our photos. But she looked great.
And the numbers don't lie. Thermen lost 39.4 pounds and went from a size 2XL to an XL on top and a 20 or 18 to a 16 on bottom.
"The weird part is, even losing weight, some sizes in some stores don't fit and they do in others," she said.
Although shopping still wasn't incredibly easy, we agreed that the styles and options for an XL woman are way better than the choices for a 2XL body.
"The problem is – even my sister said this – we were at JC Penney and the size 16 I had on wasn't fitting. I said maybe we should go upstairs (to the plus-size department)," Thermen recalled. "We got upstairs and she goes, 'Oh my gosh. You come up here and all the clothes look ugly.' And it's the truth."
"I just think the hanging loose kind of clothes, for me, when I was really overweight, it just encouraged me to keep eating," Vicari explained. "It's like, oh it's spacious it doesn't matter."
And despite a few struggles shopping, Thermen labeled it her best day of her journey.
Her worst day? A week and a day after arriving, Thermen's body stopped cooperating. Eating all raw foods just wasn't working for her.
"Because of that, anything I had eaten prior to (getting sick) I have kind of an aversion to right now," Thermen said laughing. "It's been hard because some of the foods I got sick on were foods I ate all the time before and now the taste makes me sick."
But, with the help of her sister, Thermen fought through and figured out a way to make Vicari's diet work for her. By adding grains and beans, Thermen was able to maintain a vegan diet without making herself sick.
With all this talk of healthy foods, I was curious about Vicari's weight loss story and how she chose the raw path.
"I got to my highest weight after college I think," Vicari said. "You know, they talk about the Freshmen 15. It was far more than that for me."
At about 170 pounds, Vicari went vegan 21 years ago primarily for ethical reasons and flipped the switch.
"I took out all meat and dairy and that cleaned so much junk out of my diet and so many unhealthy foods," she explained. "And then I just kept cleaning it up over the years and just kept gradually improving my diet."
Now a life coach, Vicari motivates others, like her sister, to lead, what she calls their "Ideal Life."
Vicari has obviously helped Thermen on her path to leading a more balanced lifestyle and will continue her encouragement for as long as they are in each other's lives. And, being blood and all, it could be a while.

Larchmont, Los Angeles
|This article uses bare URLs for citations, which may be threatened by link rot. (June 2013)
Larchmont is a densely populated, highly diverse, half-square-mile neighborhood in the central region of the City of Los Angeles, California, where more than half the residents were foreign-born.[1] Larchmont is notable for its quaint old-town shopping street and well-maintained historic homes. It has four schools and one small park. It has been the site of early and recent motion picture shoots.
According to the Mapping L.A. project of the Los Angeles Times, Larchmont is flanked by Hollywood to the north, East Hollywood to the east, Koreatown to the southeast, Windsor Square to the south and Hancock Park to the west.[2] Street boundaries are Melrose Avenue on the north, Western Avenue on the east, Beverly Boulevard on the south and North Arden Boulevard on the west.[1][3]
Larchmont village was developed in the late 1800s. By 1920, it had become a street car suburb of Los Angeles.
The 2000 U.S. census counted 8,631 residents in the 0.49-square-mile neighborhood—an average of 17,747 people per square mile, one of the highest densities in the county. In 2008, the city estimated that the population had increased to 9,195. The median age for residents was 34, about average for Los Angeles; the percentages of residents aged 19 to 49 and above were among the county's highest.[3]
Larchmont was highly diverse ethnically, and the percentage of Asians was comparatively high. The breakdown was Latinos, 37.2%; Asians, 30%; whites, 24.6%; blacks, 3%, and others, 5.3%. Korea (28.3%) and Guatemala (16.8%) were the most common places of birth for the 56% of the residents who were born abroad, a high figure compared to rest of the city.[3]
The median yearly household income in 2008 dollars was $47,780, average for Los Angeles, but a high percentage of households had an income of $20,000 or less. The average household size of 2.5 people was average for the city of Los Angeles. Renters occupied 72.9% of the housing stock, and house- or apartment owners 27.1%.[3]
The percentages of never-married men and women, 42.1% and 36.9%, respectively, were among the county's highest.[3]
About thirty-two percent of Larchmont residents aged 25 and older had earned a four-year degree by 2000, an average figure for the city.[3]
The schools operating within the Larchmont borders are:[4]
- Christ the King Elementary School, private, 617 North Arden Boulevard
- Cheder Menachem, private, Melrose Avenue
- Frances Blend Special Education Center, public, 5210 Clinton Street
- Van Ness Avenue Elementary School, LAUSD, 501 North Van Ness Avenue
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (June 2013)
Larchmont has a popular commercial shopping strip on Larchmont Boulevard. Keystone Kops chases were filmed on the street, and the 1936 Three Stooges film False Alarms used both Third Street and Larchmont Boulevard. Today many of the local homes are used to film commercials and movies. The 1983 film WarGames utilized a home at Lucerne and Second Street as a major backdrop and set. Larchmont also shows up several times in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane.
Larchmont is the home of the Los Angeles Tennis Club and the former Black-Foxe Military Institute, a private preparatory school. Within the boundaries are such places as Lucy's El Adobe Café, Raleigh Studios,[5] formerly known as Famous Players Film Company and the Hollywood Historic Hotel.[6]

Review of the 2006 Lincoln Town Car
If you want a big American luxury car for a reasonable price, the 2006 Lincoln Town Car is the only game in town, but equivalently priced European and Japanese luxury sedans are better in almost every respect.
- Safety
Roomy interior, quiet cabin, huge trunk, good crash test scores, availability of a long-wheelbase model.
Interior looks ancient compared to European and Japanese sedans in this price range, missing the latest luxury features, poor resale value.
What's New for 2006

Full 2006 Lincoln Town Car Review
What's New for 2006
Changes for 2006 are limited to new wheel designs.
Lincoln first used the Town Car nomenclature to define an upgraded interior trim on the 1969-1971 Continental, but a Town Sedan version of the 1949 Cosmopolitan is probably the true source of the current model's name. The Town Sedan lasted just one year, and it wasn't until 1972 that "Town Car" was used to delineate the most luxurious versions of the Continental sedan. Continental coupes of the time were called, not surprisingly, Town Coupe.
In any case, the Town Car has been Lincoln's flagship sedan since the early 1980s, and it has one of the highest owner loyalty ratings in the luxury car segment. With its size and relatively modest price, the Lincoln Town Car is also a favorite of livery services and limousine converters. An extensive redesign of the Town Car's suspension, exterior and interior for 1998 boosted the refinement levels a few notches. Further refinements in 2003 helped usher the platform into this century. Nevertheless, the 2006 Lincoln Town Car remains an old-school example of rear-drive Detroit steel and this helps keep its price relatively affordable -- exactly what Town Car loyalists want. However, discerning shoppers are apt to find modern cars like the Chrysler 300C, Infiniti Q45 and even the Toyota Avalon more qualified in nearly every area.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The Lincoln Town Car is offered in Signature, Signature Limited and Designer trim. The Signature is available in regular- or long-wheelbase (called the L) form, while the Signature Limited and Designer comes with the regular wheelbase only. Standard equipment on the Signature includes 17-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control with vents for rear passengers, leather upholstery, eight-way power front seats, power-adjustable pedals, a CD player, an analog clock for the dashboard, automatic headlamps and rear parking sensors. The Signature Limited adds heated front seats, driver seat memory, a wood-and-leather steering wheel, an upgraded audio system with an in-dash CD changer and a full power open/close trunk. The Designer includes chrome trim, Provence leather seating, adjustable rear headrests and two-tone door panels. The Signature L adds a 6-inch wheelbase extension for increased rear-seat room and builds upon the standard Signature model's equipment list with dual rear-seat power points, four-way rear head restraints, heated rear seats and remote controls for audio, climate and the front-passenger seat. Various options on the Lincoln car include HID headlights, chrome wheels, a trunk-mounted CD changer, a moonroof and a navigation system paired with a THX-certified audio system.
Powertrains and Performance
All Town Car models are powered by a 4.6-liter V8 rated at 239 horsepower and 287 pound-feet of torque. A standard four-speed automatic transmission sends the power to the rear wheels. Fuel economy is rated at 17 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway.
The Town Car comes standard with front-seat side airbags and three-point seatbelts for all five seating positions. All-speed traction control is standard, as is four-wheel ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and BrakeAssist technology, which applies full braking power in a panic stop. Stability control and side curtain airbags are not available. In NHTSA testing, the Lincoln Town Car earned five stars (the best rating given) for all front and side-impact crash tests.
Interior Design and Special Features
Boasting large interior dimensions and a massive trunk (20.6 cubic feet), the Town Car's primary mission is to transport multiple passengers to their destination silently and comfortably. Buyers can also select the L version, which offers a whopping 47 inches of rear legroom thanks to its 6-inch-longer wheelbase.
Driving Impressions
Thrust from the V8 should be fully adequate for most buyers. Passing maneuvers are accomplished with ease, and freeway cruising at 80 mph is hushed. The 2006 Lincoln Town Car has no peer when it comes to transporting large (or large numbers of) people. Besides offering a comfortable ride, this Lincoln car is a decent handler -- the steering has some feel to it, and the body doesn't roll too much around corners. Compared to premium luxury sedans like the BMW 7 Series, Infiniti Q45, Lexus LS 430 and Mercedes S-Class, the Town Car's mediocre levels of refinement quickly stand out, but none of those cars can match the Lincoln's under-$50,000 price tag.
