One of the world's largest solar companies,
Canadian Solar, Inc.
) has supplied more than 8 MW of solar modules to groSolar for
three utility and commercial photovoltaic ("PV") projects in the
United States. groSolar is a leading provider of solar energy
solutions for commercial and utility applications. It serves the 1
to 20 MW commercial, residential and utility markets with complete
EPC, financing, and development support, exclusively through its
nationwide procurement and distribution division.
These three projects have been built by utilizing Canadian Solar's
workhorse module, the CS6P. Out of the three projects, two have
completed their construction recently and one 6 MW plant is still
under construction in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Once
completed this 6 MW plant will be the largest solar installation in
the state of Pennsylvania.
The plant under construction has used the modules prepared by
Canadian solar. It has energy generation capacity of 7.5 million
kilowatt hours (kWh). The energy from the plant will be sold under
15-year power purchase agreement ("PPA") to support farmland
preservation and agricultural soil restoration in Lancaster.
One of the completed solar plants, located at the Camden County
Municipal Utility Authority's (CCMUA) wastewater treatment plant in
Camden, N.J, has a generation capacity of 1.8 MW. The
electricity generated from the plant will be sold to CCMUA under
PPA. The other completed plant is located at Longwood Gardens in
Kennett Square, Pa. and has an electric generation capacity of 1.5
Both these plants together will be able to produce approximately
4.95 million kWh of clean solar energy, which is equal to planting
18,562 trees. Moreover, the clean energy will be sufficient to
counterbalance approximately 3,712 tons of carbon emissions per
The companies prefer to use Canadian Solar's modules as every
module produced by Canadian Solar has high-yield and long-term
performance driven by the company's scrupulous design and
production techniques. In fact, this has made CS6P as one of the
top rankers in California for higher energy production. Also, the
company's modules carry an industry-leading 25-year warranty as
well as matching warranty insurance underwritten by A.M. Best-rated
insurance carriers.
In June this year, Canadian Solar Inc. had entered into an
agreement to supply 17 MW of solar photovoltaic ("PV") modules to
Potentia Solar Inc. (Potentia). Per the agreement, Canadian Solar
will supply its best-selling module, the CS6P to Potentia to power
several commercial rooftop solar systems that will be installed on
commercial, industrial and institutional buildings in major urban
areas of Ontario. The modules will be used for the development of
more than one hundred rooftop solar projects. The company expects
the projects to be completed in 2013.
Canadian Solar caters to a geographically-diverse customer base
spread across its key markets in Germany, Spain and the U.S., as
well as emerging market opportunities in France, the Czech
Republic, Italy, South Korea, Canada, Japan and China.
However, in the near term, fortunes will be impacted by the
industry-wide oversupply, leading to sharply falling Average
Selling Prices, tepid module demand in Europe and rising
competition in the market. Given the industry wide high inventory
level, we do not foresee any short-term improvement in margins of
the company.
Moreover, Canadian Solar Inc. reported higher quantum of losses for
the second quarter of 2012. In the reported quarter, the company
with a loss per share of 59 cents missed the Zacks Consensus
Estimate of a loss of 30 cents per share. Results were also much
lower when compared to earnings of 16 cents in the year-ago period.
The company presently retains a short-term Zacks #4 Rank (Sell). We
have a long-term Neutral recommendation on the stock.
The company mainly competes with
JA Solar Holdings Co. Ltd.
) and
JinkoSolar Holding Co. Ltd.

Mubera Missini LifeCoach interview with translation
Do you have a life coach?
Have you ever been to a person who will remind you WHO YOU ARE?
If you have a life coach it is good for you. If you don't have it is also good for you. In the first case you will lift up your consciousness and you will pass the life smoothly. In the second case you have to be awaken by shocks. What do you prefer?
What's your IQ? With the intelligence quotient is measuring cognitive functions such as vocabulary, information for facts,short term memory, verbal reasoning and the ability to learn new relationships.
There are others besides IQ that determine success in the major tasks of life. It is discovered more than thirteen which relate to success in life and had developed a highly valid and reliable way to measure them. These areas are Emotional Energy, Stress, optimism, Self esteem, Commitment to Work, Attention to Detail, Desire for change, Courage, Self-direction, Assertiveness, , Tolerance, Consideration for Others and Sociability. Soooo, do you need a life coach?
Maybe, we have a lack of knowledge by the general public about life coaching, but it is right time to be aware of it. Life coaching with its subtitle Mental Fitness is researching and improving our emotional and mental bodies. It is so important for our everyday life, it is related to brain functions and when we change our vibrations, we are attracting more well beings.
I will address some vital areas:
Without proper life coaching, we cannot know which areas need improvement, which are compatible with others and which are not. We must know the state or condition of something before we can suggest what needs to be done for improvement. There is a need to teach how to relate to others based on life coaching, how to develop Mental Fitness and how to apply knowledge of life coaching to the world or work. We will go with life coaching well beyond where others have left off.
I will describe all of the characteristics involved in life coaching. I will demonstrate many examples and we will discuss in detail how to repair the fourth lower bodies: the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual body.
For the physical body we will discuss about raw food, about chakras, about minerals, about feng shui,
about homeopathy and geophatic stress. For the emotional body we will discuss about Bach flower remedies, about emotional intelligence, non-violence communication, about energy of love, EFT techniques and the heart of the soul.
For the mental body we will learn for mental fitness, transurfing, mayans' calendar, brain games, wheels of life and creating sacred spaces. And for spiritual body we will learn about reconnective healing, about remote energy transfer , about spiritual yoga, the pineal gland, about light workers and about The Knowledge Book.
I am taking you to a journey with one way ticket. If you step on, you will enjoy life like you have never taste it before.

Honeymoon Trip Report
Hello fellow Disney Brides and Grooms!
My name is Teresa and my fiance's name is Greg. I have been keeping an eye on the planning journals and was waiting for one significant event to occur so that I could start sharing my planning with you.
Seeing as how I am now writing this it would be safe to assume that that one very important event has occurred. However, first things first I need to introduce you to us.
First off my name is Teresa I am 26 years old and an athletic trainer at a high school in Texas. I am a very large disney fanatic and I would say that I am becoming a disney world fanatic. I have come to learn that those are 2 VERY different things. My primary passion in life is Star Wars I eat, breathe and sleep the wars. I actually write my own blog on the world of being a fangirl and about all of the things I am a fan of. Please go and check it out the more the merrier http://fangirlnextdoor.com I am also currently working on creating a podcast for the blog as well so maybe some of you out there will enjoy some of that. In addition to my own blog I write for a star wars fansite but I have not contributed in a while but I am working on that. Here is the website to that site as well http://anakinandhisangel.com Other things about me are that I am also a huge lord of the rings and harry potter fan. I read tons of books across a very wide spectrum of genres but I do love my sci fi and fantasy. I am a toy collector mostly in the world of LEGO, some action figures, vinylmations, playing cards and board games. I love interacting with people which is why I love the disboards so much and can't wait to share this story with you.
http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t.../DSC_00753.jpgGreg is 29 years old well not yet but in a week or so he will be. He works for HP as a big time sales guy which I actually think is kind of a cool job. The reason this relationship has worked so well and so quickly is because of the flexibility he has with his job. He is based in Chicago so if you have been paying attention you will notice we do not live in the same place just yet (and the plot thickens!). Greg loves things like Mad Men, the Godfather movies and other gangster Chicago based stories, he also gets a very big kick out Splash Mountain! He is definitely a Disney world fanatic and not so much a Disney fanatic. This is how I learned that there is a difference between the two. Greg also loves cars (not the movie..although Cars 2 was the first movie we saw together). Greg is on the disboards also his name is audipolo. I am sure he will read this soon and probably comment that I left some important stuff out on his bio. :)
Star wars weekends 2010
Our first breakfast as an engaged couple
Now that you have met us let me give you the story of how we met.
We met on the Disboards back in May of 2011 (this year) when we were both planning on a solo trip to disney world. Our dates for our trips overlapped so we decided if we had time we would try and meet up. On June 4th he came over to Hollywood studios because that was where I was enjoying Star Wars Weekends with all my fellow nerds. He came over later in the day and he got in line with us to watch one of the Star Wars related shows. He then stayed with me the rest of the day and we watched the Hyperspace hoopla with my new friends I had made. At the end of the evening he and I decided that we were hungry so we walked to the boardwalk and ate at one of the restaurants there.
I should also note that he was wearing a Donald Duck shirt and he was so adorably cute to me but of course I didn't say anything I just smiled to myself. (the shirt he was wearing is pictured above)
So we sat and talked for what seemed like hours and we really hit it off. I did not think we would be anything other than friends but from the very beginning it felt like I had known him my whole life. We left dinner that night and smiled at each other thanked each other for a great night and I got on my bus back to All Star Movies and he went back to the Contemporary.
now to leave you in suspense for what transpired over the rest of our trip....
To be continued (later today)
How we met continued...
the story continues...
The next day which was a Sunday we actually did not see each other because I was engulfed in my star wars world and he was having a very relaxing day. He did call me and invite me to dinner with him at the california grill but I turned him down. Now I did not turn him down because I was not interested I turned him down because I was with my friends from some of the websites I write for and we were going to watch fantasmic together and spend the last evening of SWW having fun. Looking back on it I realize he was trying to ask me out...oops!
meeting matt lanter at star wars weekends
Monday rolls around and this would be his last day at the world before he was to leave Tuesday morning. This day was a day that I got to roam around on my own during my solo trip. I went to the magic kingdom that day and was texting Greg the majority of the day. He had spent the morning and early afternoon at Epcot and he was thinking of going to Hollywood Studios. I told him that I could meet him at the Studios if he wanted. I was currently eating a funnel cake and drinking a coke at the sleepy hollow funnel cake stand. I wrapped up my wonderful snack and headed over to Hollywood Studios. When I got there he said that he was busy with some clients (a work thing) and that he would get with me soon. I told him I would be at Star Tours at this point I had not ridden it enough to have gotten all the different scenarios the ride had to offer so I did not mind riding the ride while I waited for him. I rode it a few times and texted him while I was in line. He found out I really wanted the Star Wars vinylmations and that they are ridiculously hard to get and he said he would meet me outside Tatooine Traders in a little bit he was going on a mission.
Riding some star tours
So I quietly waited and bought some of the star wars collector's packs that have the super small figures in them and I played with them while I waited.
When he got there he told me he had gone up in the management of the disney merchandise people to try and get me some star wars vinylmations. He was not successful but the amount of thought and dedication he had for something that I like so much was phenomenal! We then went and rode the rock n roller coaster and star tours we then decided that we were hungry so we went to eat at Narcoosse's while we were there we had so much fun with our waiter and hostess lady. I had never seen the electrical water pageant before so while we were sitting there I got to see it except that it was backwards....that was a great way to see that for the first time and provided a good laugh for us. We then went to the Magic Kingdom there were EMH that night and we watched Wishes for the first time together and if I remember this was the first time we held hands. The rest of the evening was a blur of riding rides together we for sure hit Splash Mountain his favorite and Winnie the Pooh's hunny pots which is my favorite. As the night came to a close we decided to go back to his room at the contemporary for his balcony so I could see the Magic Kingdom at night from there ( at that point I had never been to the contemporary before). It was on his balcony after 2 hours of talking and laughing that he kissed me, it was the most amazing fireworks filled romantic kiss I have ever had keep in mind Cinderella's castle was in the background. We knew this was his last night however it was not my last night in the world. It was now 4am and he was going to need to get ready to leave he had an early flight in the morning. It was a pretty sad moment for us because looking into each other's eyes we knew that this was a moment we have both been waiting for our whole lives and now we were leaving to different parts of the country. I went back to my room at All Star Movies and hoped I hear from him the next day.
to be continued...
the final chapter
So where were we ah yes we were at the point where we may never see each other again!
The next day I get a phone call in the morning after I am up and getting dressed. It was Greg and he asked what I was up to for the day. I told him that I thought I would go to the Animal Kingdom because I had not been there yet on this trip. His reply to me was "ok I will see you there in a bit" then he hangs up the phone. :confused: you can imagine my confusion since I knew that he was supposed to leave and that I was pretty sure I would not see him again anytime soon. When I got to the animal kingdom I saw his amazing smiling face and everything felt right and I was so comfortable. I asked him what happened and he told me that he decided to stay so he cancelled his flight for that night instead he wanted one more day with me. Well that one more day turned out to be amazing we hung out at animal kingdom went to epcot to via napoli to eat then as day grew to dusk I asked him about his flight he got on his phone and cancelled it again to the next morning. We went to the rainforest cafe that night and had a blast but talked about some serious relationship stuff like "where is this going?" "are we together?" you know that kind of stuff. We decided we would see and not force anything. Well now he does not have a room because he checked out of the contemporary so he came to All Star Movies and stayed with me.
The next morning I woke him up so he could catch his flight and guess what....he cancelled it again so he could be with me and he rescheduled it for the same time as my flight that evening. So we checked out of the hotel and went to Downtown disney and we just talked and realized that this had turned into something neither of us had expected. We ate at Fulton's Crab house and bought some vinylmations for me. We sat near where the hot air balloon is docked and just talked and enjoyed being with one another.
the view from where we sat our last day together
It was around this point that I knew I had fallen head over heels in love with this man and now we had to figure out how to make this work. A month after all of that he came to Austin to see me and that was it! We were hooked on each other he bought me a tiffany silver band ring as a symbol of his love and a place holder to show his every intention to marry me. We continued for the past 3 months with him coming to see me in Austin and us spending as much time together as we possibly can. This relationship has bloomed and grown from such a small seed 4 months ago and now it is a large beautiful flower that is constantly bringing joy. Being with him makes my whole world brighter and more alive.
We just got back from Disney World where we spent the weekend this past weekend and celebrated Disney's 40th anniversary on our 3 month anniversary. He then proposed this same day and now here we are engaged.
this is where he proposed anyone know where it is?
We had already talked about getting married so I had started planning a Disney FTW with a planner because he wanted to get married before the end of 2012. So while I knew it was coming I did not know when or how and so it was still a wonderful surprise. I will fill you in on the engagement story soon.
What an amazing start to your PJ, looking foward to hearing more.
Wow, what a romantic beginning to your lives together! I can't wait to hear more about the proposal!
The Proposal
On October 1st, 2011 Disney World celebrated their 40th anniversary, that same day Greg and I celebrated our 3 month anniversary. This day would only get better and more meaningful and will now be etched in the history of our lives.
Our first picture as an engaged couple
The day was a great day we left from Austin, TX very early in the morning and I slept on the plane to Dallas almost the whole time. When we got to Dallas and got on the plane to Orlando we had been upgraded to first class which was super awesome because I had never ridden first class before.
me being first classy!
our first trip together in first class
When we got to Disney we went over to the Polynesian because this was where we were staying and let me tell you that this was also my first time staying in a deluxe hotel on Disney property so it was awesome! I have always liked the Poly so I was pretty excited that I was actually going to get to stay there. We checked in and headed straight to Hollywood Studios. There are 2 reasons for this...1. HS is my favorite park and I had to ride star tours 2. We had lunch reservations at Mama Melrose's. When we got there we rode star tours and had a blast I never get tired of that ride and then we went to eat. We decided that from now on that was going to be our new tradition when we get to Disney every time we go. Star tours first then our first meal will be at Mama Melrose's.
From there we did a little bit more at HS and then we headed back to the Hotel. Our room had not been ready when we got there and we had received a text that it was ready so we went to go and check out the room. After that we went to the Magic Kingdom to share in the celebration of Disney's 40th anniversary we got some cool retro park maps but they were out of buttons which made me kind of sad because I wanted something to commemorate the day. It was so packed we really just took pictures and walked around enjoying the atmosphere.
Just in case you haven't seen what the entrance looked like that day
From there we went to the Wilderness Lodge to check it out because I have never seen it and I wanted to. We are headed back to the World in December for christmas but also to put the deposit down and sign contracts and stuff for the Wedding and I want to stay at the WL. I had a blast watching the geyser and walking around in the lobby I fell in love with the place we then had dinner at the Whispering Canyon Cafe and afterwards headed back to the room. We had a little R & R but wishes was about to start and we heard there were going to be special 40th anniversary fireworks. So we headed to the beach at the Poly to watch the fireworks and it was amazing getting to watch wishes with him sitting on a beach and just enjoying the romantic setting. I could tell something was up because of the way he was acting. Once wishes ended we just sat and talked on the beach for a bit. I had a feeling that a proposal was coming but I was not 100% sure and I would be lying if I said that I didn't want him to do it in that romantic setting I thought it would have been a perfect opportunity. He actually said well I can't propose to you now that would be too obvious and as we joked about it I thought "well maybe he won't propose at Disney"
We eventually made our way to the monorail to head to the Magic Kingdom since it was open until midnight. When we got on the monorail he said we are getting off at the 3rd stop. The 3rd stop from the poly is the contemporary resort. I said "um ok why?" and he told me that he had to show me something that he just thought of. So we got off at the contemporary and we walked downstairs and out towards the pools. We kept walking to this spot.
View looking towards the spot at the railing in the corner
looking back towards the contemporary
We get to this spot and he explains the following:
This spot was where he came to the first day of his trip when he met me and he took a picture at sunrise in this very spot. Later that day he met me for the first time. After our first date that monday the next morning he needed to think about what he was going to do in regards to us. It was at this very spot that he discovered within himself that he was in love with me after our first date. It was here that he made the decision to cancel his flight and stay. It was here that he decided he was going to do everything he could to get more time with me to build a relationship that he was willing to do anything for. So with that and explaining to me why this spot is so significant he said "So I would like to ask you if you would marry me?" I of course said yes it took me a minute to process even though I knew this was coming I could feel it in my bones. I was taken a back by how instead of choosing an overly romantic spot or a spot that was an iconic Disney spot he chose the very place that he made the decisions that fueled our romance. He was not worried about making it a picture perfect movie engagement he did not get on one knee he looked me straight in the eye and let me see into his heart. This meant so much to me. I knew there would be no ring yet because the ring that he and I decided on is a custom one of kind ring that is currently being hand crafted. It will be done probably in January and then I get the surprise of getting it :)
After we kissed and hugged we walked hand in hand to the magic kingdom and went straight to Buzz Lightyear's Space ranger spin (hence the picture above). That night was a truly magical night and now 10-1-11 holds a very special place and I can say that I now share in an anniversary or at least a very special day with disney.
The initial wedding plan- brainstorm
So the planning process has begun and this is where I stand on things. I have talked with my planner (or whatever his title is) with DFTW and he put my venues on hold for me. In december we will lock them in.
Ceremony: Sea Breeze Point at 10:00am
Reception: Backstage Prop Shop no time specified yet but it was discussed to use it for a brunch
Wedding Date: December 17th, 2011 I am deliberately not doing it on a weekend because I want cheaper prices and I am also trying to keep the guest list lower.
Currently I am planning on putting together a wedding event not just a wedding itself. We are trying to find a way to do this without spending too much. Here is what my tentative plans look like:
Dec. 15th: welcome event for those that want to attend or get there early enough
Dec. 16th: rehearsal and parent/family dinner
Dec. 17th: Wedding Day with a possible dessert party for those that want to join
Dec. 18th: farewell breakfast with those that want to join followed by a day of going to the parks with our family and friends that stay for the day or want to go
Dec.19th: Beginning of the honeymoon we will do christmas at WDW together as a family on our own during our honeymoon
Welcome event ideas:
I am trying to come up with something we can do. We would not fund the event whatever we did the participants would have to pay so I was thinking something like
Mini golf
hoop de do review
downtown disney dinner
hidden mickey hunt
however I still am not 100% on any of these ideas as of yet and am still searching for other ideas
Wedding Theme: The primary theme is Vinylmation with Hints of Star Wars
Wedding Colors: due to the vinylmation theme I am using black, ice blue, and a berry purple
Officiant Ideas:
Right now I have reached out to two that are available Rev. Jack Day and Rev. Tim Herring I like both of them so far so we will see there
Engagement photos: we want to do a disney engagement photo session I don't know much about it though. I read some stuff in the passporter but could really use some advice on this. Also my friend here in Texas has offered to do engagement photos for us as well which Greg (DF) wants to take her up on.
Things I have bought for the wedding:
9" white blank vinylmation for guest book (need a black one)
Bride and Groom Vinylmations
My dress
My wedding dress: I was engaged back in 2007 for a wedding in 2009 that never took place and fell through. I actually bought a long and short dress because at the time I was not sure what I wanted. They are both Alfred Angelo and they are gorgeous. I love my dress and so I plan to wear it. Since DF is on the boards I can't post a direct picture but I have this collage of dresses and feel free to take a guess at which one it is or PM me and I will tell you. As soon as I can figure out how to put the collage up I will.
So this is where I am on the planning. Looking forward to your opinions and ideas.
What a great story! I am excited to keep reading your PJ, I can't wait to hear how things will begin to unfold
Love your story and your wedding plans-- I love love love the prop shop!!!
Can't wait to read more!
I love your plans so far, looking forward to reading more!
wow, the story of how you met and fell in love was amazing! I couldnt stop reading! I can't wait to read more about all of your plans..congrats!!!!
the wedding dress guessing game
So here is the collage of dresses my actual dress is in this collage. PM me if you want to know which one it is for sure. I would totally just post it on here with the picture I have of me in it except that DF is a disboards member since that is how we met initially and he would inevitably see it. So play the game with me and take a guess!
Here is my to do list for planning:
As you can see I have stuff to do...not all of it is very pressing but it is fun non the less.
Have a great weekend I am off to a star wars convention
So first of all you are adorable with your Star Wars nerdiness! :rotfl: I love the first pic of you at Star Wars weekend! I am the same way with Harry Potter ;)
Congrats on your engagement! I'm really excited to hear all about your plans because I love the theme and the prop shop sounds like such a cool place to have a reception!
Great proposal!
Going to PM you my guess now...

Coast Guard:
Observations on Changes to Management and Oversight of the Deepwater Program
GAO-09-462T: Published: Mar 24, 2009. Publicly Released: Mar 24, 2009.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-7773
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO has a large body of work examining government agencies' approaches to managing their large acquisition projects. GAO has noted that without sufficient knowledge about system requirements, technology, and design maturity, programs are subject to cost overruns, schedule delays, and performance that does not meet expectations. The Deepwater Program, intended to replace or modernize 15 major classes of Coast Guard assets, accounts for almost 60 percent of the Coast Guard's fiscal year 2009 appropriation for acquisition, construction and improvements. GAO has reported over the years on this program, which has experienced serious performance and management problems such as cost breaches, schedule slips, and assets designed and delivered with significant defects. To carry out the Deepwater acquisition, the Coast Guard contracted with Integrated Coast Guard Systems (ICGS) as a systems integrator. In April 2007, the Commandant acknowledged that the Coast Guard had relied too heavily on contractors to do the work of government and announced that the Coast Guard was taking over the lead role in systems integration from ICGS. This testimony reflects our most recent issued work on Deepwater, specifically our June 2008 report, Coast Guard: Change in Course Improves Deepwater Management and Oversight, but Outcome Still Uncertain, GAO-08-745.
Over the past two years, the Coast Guard has reoriented its acquisition function to position itself to execute systems integration and program management responsibilities formerly carried out by ICGS. The acquisition directorate has been consolidated to oversee all Coast Guard acquisitions, including the Deepwater Program, and Coast Guard project managers have been vested with management and oversight responsibilities formerly held by ICGS. Another key change has been to manage the procurement of Deepwater assets on a more disciplined, asset-by-asset approach rather than as an overall system of systems, where visibility into requirements and capabilities was limited. For example, cost and schedule information is now captured at the individual asset level, resulting in the ability to track and report breaches for assets. Further, to manage Deepwater acquisitions at the asset level, the Coast Guard has begun to follow a disciplined project management process that requires documentation and approval of program activities at key points in a program's life cycle. These process changes, coupled with strong leadership to help ensure the processes are followed in practice, have helped to improve Deepwater management and oversight. However, the Coast Guard still faces many hurdles going forward and the acquisition outcome remains uncertain. The consequences of not following a disciplined acquisition approach for Deepwater acquisitions and of relying on the contractor to define Coast Guard requirements are clear now that assets, such as the National Security Cutter, have been paid for and delivered without the Coast Guard's having determined whether the assets' planned capabilities would meet mission needs. While the asset-based approach is beneficial, certain cross-cutting aspects of Deepwater--such as command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) and the overall numbers of each asset needed to meet requirements--still require a system-level approach. The Coast Guard is not fully positioned to manage these aspects. One of the reasons the Coast Guard originally contracted with ICGS as the systems integrator was the recognition that the Coast Guard lacked the experience and depth in workforce to manage the acquisition itself. The Coast Guard has faced challenges in building an adequate government acquisition workforce and, like many other federal agencies, is relying on support contractors--some in key positions such as cost estimating and contract support. GAO has pointed out the potential concerns of reliance on contractors who closely support inherently governmental functions.

So I am making cupcakes for a winter wonderland themed birthday party. My customer wanted blue icing but I was trying to come up with something to throw on top of the cupcake to look like snow. I tried 10x sugar and flour, but after a couple hours they just dissolve. Does anybody have any ideas that I can try??

Description This baluster shaped vase is the central element to a mantel garniture and is flanked by two trumpet vases decorated with similar framed figures and scenes [WALTERS 49.1841 and 49.1842]. Decoration of this type appearing on blue and white porcelains is often referred to as the Lange Eleizen pattern, or "Tall Gal" for the multiple levels of pointed arch panels. Sprays of peony flowers are painted on the waisted neck and fill the span of the uppermost series of arched panels; within are depicted The Eight Taoist Immortals. Each figure stands on scrolling clouds and can be identified by the emblems they carry. The central panels depict women with instruments standing in front of fences. Rockery and sprigs of plants emerge in the lower parts of each panel. The final series of framed arches are filled with pairs of standing women facing potted plants. Seated scribes and potted plants are painted on the bowl-shaped lid. All three elements of the garniture are an example of export porcelain to Europe, depicting leisure as well as traditional religious imagery. The Dutch market received plentiful shipments of specifically crafted export porcelain with the assistance of the East India Trading Company. Blue and white porcelain was popularized in China by the Mongol emperors during the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368). Trade along The Silk Road meant access to Middle Eastern imports, including Persian and Central Asian cobalt ore that facilitated the porcelain production from the 14th to the early 15th century. Domestic sources of cobalt ore, including the vibrant Buddha Head blue, replaced or were mixed with the expensive imported cobalt.

Volkswagen New Beetle still number one with the ladies
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Jun 15th, 2010 at 7:31PM
Men, take note: According to a new survey from research firm TrueCar, the Volkswagen New Beetle is (still) the ultimate car for women. Apparently, its combination of cute-as-a-button looks and affordable pricing make the reborn Bug a total hit with the fairer sex. This data was determined not by some silly woman-on-the-street clipboard survey, but rather by looking at the registrations of more than 13 million vehicles over the past two years. We could have saved them quite a bit of work if they wanted to know that the New Beetle was a chick car, but whatever. There was some other... Read More

Ordering for a Team?
Let our Team Division Help!
Item has a Minimum Qty
Rest assured your gear will be well-ventilated in this durable Sporti Mesh Yoga Bag.
Yoga Mat bag is lightweight,easy access,washable and fits all size mats.
This bag does the job of holding a mat if you want to carry one in a more hands free way., It's light, easy to use and was fairly reasonable, so I am happy with it overall.
Just what my husband and I needed to carry our mats and props for class!
This is just right for carrying and storing my yoga mat. There is enough room for a small towel and cleaning solution.
Got this for a pretty good price so I got three of these, one for my mom, my husband and myself. Can't really say it's any special quality, as it is made with mesh material. I do like that it's airy in the middle of the bag as it lets air through. I've used it a handful of time and I hope it lasts.
I needed a bag to fit my oversized yoga mat so I was a little concerned that this bag might not be big enough. It works perfectly:-). I guess an external pocket might have been nice for keys etc, but at this inexpensive price I was pleased with the product.
Came extemely fast. This is a low key yoga bag that I use daily. It is large so you can fit clothes keys water bottle etc in there. It is nothing fancy but is all I need when I leave my apt and go to class because it fits the necessities!

Consultant: Do the road diet
Add another voice to those in support of pursuing the controversial road diet proposal through Uptowne High Point.
Joe Minicozzi of the Asheville consulting firm Urban3 told a lunchtime audience at the String and Splinter Club Monday that reducing vehicle traffic along N. Main Street from four to two lanes is the first step needed to revitalize the area and reverse declining property values.
The road diet could spur enough commercial and residential growth in and around Uptowne eventually to add $2.3 million to the city's tax base, he argued.
"The question is, will this road diet help our community? The short answer is yes. The bigger answer is, it's going to help by $2.3 million," said Minicozzi. "You seriously need to do something. You all know your real estate is trending south."
The City Project hired Minicozzi to study what the economic impact would be for Uptowne if the area is built out as proposed in the Ignite High Point master plan.
The Ignite plan, which strongly recommends the Uptowne road diet, shows what type of development could go on each parcel along N. Main Street, be it a retail storefront or something that might combine commercial and residential uses.
Minicozzi gathered data about current real estate and tax values of Triad properties to project what would happen to property values in Uptowne if it develops in the ways suggested in the plan.
He said home values in High Point are below those of many of its peer cities.
"Why? These communities are adopting different principles of land development," he said. "This is serious stuff to pay attention to. These are numbers that should shock you."
Minicozzi said thousands of people live and work within a few minutes' walk of Uptowne, and they "can be a captured market. The demand is there. The opportunity is there. The numbers are there."
He said "streetscapes" in Asheville — public investments to improve the appearance of streets and make them more pedestrian-friendly — helped revitalize that city's downtown. Doing this in High Point is one way to entice property owners and developers to make investments in Uptowne.
He said $26 million of public investment was made in Asheville's downtown, which has yielded $400 million in tax base growth.
The road diet proposal has critics, including some City Council members, who question whether it's worth the city investment and raise concerns about what impact it might have on traffic patterns.
Another consultant, this one hired by the city, is studying the traffic issues.
"When people try to shoot the plan down, are they bringing the data?" Minicozzi said. "Challenge your neighbors to bring data to the table."

I loved it and decided to go and shoot it when a bride and groom got out, and then several photographers appeared. I tried to be unobtrusive but in the end figured maybe they were models because the groom was wearing tennis shoes ;-).

Nearly 1,500 avionics manufacturers, dealers, installers and other general aviation professionals have converged at the 56th annual Aircraft Electronics Association International Convention & Trade Show, which opens today at the MGM Grand Hotel & Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nev. The four-day event takes place March 25-28, and it is the largest gathering of avionics manufacturers, distributors and government-certified repair stations in the world.
The AEA Convention is the preeminent venue dedicated solely to the general aviation avionics industry. Not open to the public, this event's primary focus is providing avionics professionals with educational and marketing opportunities between equipment manufacturers, distributors and government-certified repair stations. The general aviation avionics community knows the AEA Convention is a must-attend gathering for growing their businesses, training their technicians and meeting with their dealer network.
The city of Las Vegas, Nev., plays host to this year's event. Avionics professionals will experience the following highlights during the week, just to name a few.
In addition, the AEA Educational Foundation, in partnership with the National Center for Aerospace and Transportation Technologies (NCATT), will offer registered attendees free Aircraft Electronics Technician (AET) certification and endorsement exams. Attendees may test their knowledge in achieving the NCATT's highly regarded avionics technician certification. This $100 value is only available through the AEA at the convention.
One of the most popular sessions each year is the AEA Opening Ceremonies, sponsored by Universal Avionics Systems Corp., and the AEA New Product Introductions. This must-see event takes place Tuesday, March 26, and it continues to draw the attention of the entire general aviation community. This year is no different, as the Aero-News Network will be live-streaming the AEA Opening Ceremonies and New Product Introductions around the world on the Internet for the fourth straight year.
In addition, each NPI presentation will be syndicated by ANN to dozens of popular E-media and aviation websites, such as YouTube, and ANN will produce live programming throughout the week and conduct high-tech interviews from the AEA Exhibit Hall floor for even greater exposure. Dick Rutan, a pilot, entrepreneur and adventurer who made history in December 1986, after completing a nine-day nonstop and nonrefueled flight around the world that established a flight endurance record, will be the keynote speaker during the AEA Opening Ceremonies.
The 2013 AEA Member of the Year and Associate Member of the Year will be announced during the annual AEA Awards Luncheon on Wednesday, March 27, presented by Pacific Southwest Instruments. Last year's winners were Jim Joubert of Pacific Southwest Instruments, who was named the 2012 AEA Member of the Year; and Mid-Continent Instruments and Avionics, named the 2012 AEA Associate Member of the Year.
The nominees for the 2013 AEA Member of the Year are:
The nominees for the 2013 Associate Member of the Year are:
"The AEA is thrilled to be in Las Vegas for our 56th International Convention & Trade Show," said Paula Derks, AEA president. "Our attendees will have the opportunity to network with their industry peers and keep up-to-date with industry trends by seeing new products with the major suppliers under one roof. In this new world of social media, text messaging, emailing and webinars, one thing remains constant: Our attendees still want to see, touch and talk product face-to- face."

The most pivotal season ever of "Dallas" started when the cameras weren't rolling late last year.
With the death of Larry Hagman, who played evil oil tycoon J.R. Ewing, producers and writers were thrown for a loop about the show's future.
Should "Dallas" continue? Can viewers accept the series without J.R.?
For now, it isn't an issue. Six episodes had already been shot with Hagman for the rest of the season. To toss them would seem cruel.
TNT, where "Dallas" (9 p.m. EST Monday) airs, agreed.
Sure, this reboot of the 1978-91 CBS series turned out to be one of 2012's biggest summer cable hits, but Hagman's death would be a challenge.
"Dallas" will address Hagman's death by killing off Ewing in March, bringing back past favorites and setting the stage for the next chapter in the life of the series.
Monday's season opener picks up where the story ended in the summer. The revelation that Rebecca (Julie Gonzalo), the wife of Christopher Ewing (Jesse Metcalfe), is armed with a secret to blow the Ewings apart is paramount.
Meanwhile, Sue Ellen Ewing (Linda Gray) is nearing Election Day in her bid for governor, but her enemies are ready to jump on her and ruin her bid if she doesn't comply.
And J.R.?
At this point, he is still alive and well, his presence never greater.
That's the way it should be on "Dallas."
Other highlights for the week of Jan. 27 to Feb. 2 (listings subject to change; check local listings):
-- "Screen Actors Guild Awards" (8 p.m., TNT). Dick Van Dyke receives the Lifetime Achievement Award during the 19th annual ceremony, broadcast live from Los Angeles.
-- "Fashion Police" (10 p.m., E!). Joan Rivers and her panel sharpen their claws over the SAG Awards red carpet.
-- "Pioneers of Television" (8 p.m., PBS). Remembering the trend of "superhero" TV and its impact on pop culture: Lou Ferrigno ("The Hulk"), Adam West ("Batman), Lynda Carter ("Wonder Woman").
-- "Super Bowl's Greatest Commercials" (8 p.m., CBS). Boomer Esiason and Aisha Tyler headline a look at the great moments for most Super Bowl games: those outrageous commercials.
-- "30 Rock" (8 p.m., NBC). An end of an era arrives as the Tina Fey comedy airs its final original episode.
-- "My Soul To Take" (9 p.m., Syfy). A serial killer returns to town 16 years later to finish where he left off.

I'm being cared for by:
Hal's Haven, Inc.
Facts about Wendy
- Breed: American Bobtail
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
My name is Wendy!
Wendy's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
I have no tail. I am full of energy. I was just spayed but it has not slowed me down at all. I am the first one to want to escape from the cat room I am living in. Can I play with you at your house for the rest of my life?
If you inquire about one of our cats and do not get a response within 48 hours please call us as your message or our response is lost in cyberspace.
About Hal's Haven, Inc.
About Our Rescue Group...We are a group dedicated to fostering orphaned kittens and finding permanent homes for orphan kittens and displaced cats. All pets are fostered as family members with free run of the house, interaction with other cats/kittens and dogs, and well socialized in a public office environment. Cats in foster care may have different living conditions. Ask where the cat is fostered at. Once we accept a healthy animal it is kept until a permanent home is found. Any poor behavior is worked on to make the pet more acceptable in your home. We adopt only to homes that will not declaw and are in-door only.
All purebred cats are pulled from high risk shelters and held in quarantine. Most purebred cats are then transported to approved breed specific rescues. If we do not have the cat or breed that you are looking for we can help you to find an organization with the cat/breed you are looking for.
We fully support our local humane society and solute them for the tough job they have to do. If you need to re-home your pet we strongly encourage you to work to find it a good and loving home. Only after you have exhausted all of your resources we encourage you to contact the local humane society. The cruel act of dropping your unwanted pet to exist on its own will likely result in its death due to starvation, disease or predation.
We cannot stress enough the need to spay or neuter your pet. Only when pet owners become responsible and spay or neuter their pets will we be on the road to having every pet be able to find a loving home. By spaying or neutering your pet you are saving the lives of unwanted kittens and puppies.
Come Meet Our Pets...Because we are a network of foster homes we are open by appointment only seven days a week.
Our Adoption Process...All kittens/cats adopted from Hal's Haven are spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccinations, de-wormed, treated for fleas and other parasites, tested for Felv and FIV, use to other cats and dogs, socialized. Because we care about the kittens and cats we adopt out we adopt to indoor homes that will not de-claw.
Our adoption process is:
1. Potential adopters complete the application. You will receive an e-mail confirming receipt of your application.
2. The application is reviewed and information verified. A home visit may be made. Vet references are verified. Landlords are consulted to ensure that the pet is allowed.
3. The adoption agreement is signed and the adoption donation is paid after applicant is qualified. Adoption donations vary. Some adoptions may be more if more veterinary care is required. Download our adoption agreement here.
4. The kitten/cat is taken home.
5. A member of our team will call and/or visit to check on how everything is going.
