Sponsored blog post: "The Time Traveler's Wife" is based on the best-selling book by Audrey Niffenegger about a love that transcends time. Clare (Rachel McAdams) has been in love with Henry (Eric Bana) her entire life. She believes they are destined to be together, even though she never knows when they will be separated: Henry is a time traveler—cursed with a rare genetic anomaly that causes him to live his life on a shifting timeline, skipping back and forth through his lifespan with no control. Despite the fact that Henry's travels force them apart with no warning, Clare desperately tries to build a life with her one true love. View the official movie website here.
The Book Club will be posting about the Time Traveler's Wife movie and book in the weeks to come, before the movie's release on August 14 — don't miss out.
Račice, CZECH REPUBLIC—It's exceedingly important, when setting out towards the host city of this year's Under-23 World Rowing Championships, to make very certain that you're headed for the correct "Račice."
It turns out there are two cities called Račice in the Czech Republic. When you search on Wikipedia, the first result that comes up is the correct Račice (in this case), a barely there village (pop. 308) about one hour's drive north of Prague notable only for being the republic's premier venue for rowing and flatwater sports — it hosted the World Rowing Championships in 1993.
If, on the other hand, you plug Račice into Google Maps, and drive to the "other" Račice, about 2 hours west of Prague, and, just for the sake of argument, let's say you're the parents of one of the boys in Canada's lightweight four, you're probably going to end up missing your son's race. (more…)
The cheapest car in the world, the Tata Nano, was sold to its first customer this week, a 59-year-old customs officer from Mumbai. In January 2008, Devin DeCiantis wrote about the Nano for The Walrus blogs, and wondered aloud if Canadian auto companies could follow India's innovative example. Read the article here.
I have a completely unproven fear that every four straight days of hotel breakfast buffet I consume will eventually shave off a year of my life; in that case and at my rate, I don't think I'll make it to 45. These days, going out three nights in a row is exhausting, much less three night-less Yukon nights, but I still managed to hoover up as much of the Klondike spirit as I could withstand.
After a long breakfast that included a loopy, sleep-deprived discussion on the appropriateness of apple juice as a beverage for adults, and similarity in smell of that drink to kid pee, I eventually set about to St. Paul's to see Spencer Krug of Sunset Rubdown, Yegor Dyachkov of geeky-cool classical trio Triple Forte, and Victoria-based flamenco group Alma de Espana gamely play together on a Spanish-flavoured jam before each performing alone. Later, Krug joked that he was playing a song on the piano for the time because the Spanish guitars onstage didn't have the any dots on the fretboard to help him find his place on it. (more…)
Okay, my time in Dawson was more judiciously spent on Saturday. I saw some performers play music that I probably wouldn't have in my car–the only time I would ever willingly listen to a recording of Franco-Klezmer act Gadji Gadjo would be while scanning through the music stations on an Air Canada flight–but when it was performed live in front of a multitude of appreciative northerners, I succumbed easily. The Dawson City Music Festival, which seems to book acts that are uniformly free of attitude, has been full of these moments.
We turned in on Thursday night, not long after arriving in Whitehorse at 11 p.m. and we left the next morning with our lovely and amazing host and driver, Deb from Yukon Tourism. Deb moved north from Simcoe, Ontario over twenty years ago with her husband, a RCMP officer. Back then, she told us, he had to pass a psychological test before his work transfer was approved: "They wanted to know whether he was crazy enough," she joked.
While I've arrived in Dawson by float plane and would like to one day get there by canoe, the drive up is made pleasurable by the distinctly regional nature of its highway culture. On the Klondike Highway, you won't find a single Taco Bell or Denny's. Instead, you'll find idiosyncratically ornamented gas stations that double as gift shops and diners. The Braeburn Lodge is famous across the territory for selling cinnamon buns that are roughly the size of a newborn infant. While we're there, a carload of teenagers pops in and each one of them picks up a bun to presumably feed them the weekend. In a rock yard outside another diner off the highway is a giant mosquito carved from wood. (more…)
Martin Vaughn-James passed away on July 3. In the histories of comics in Canada and comics as book-length narratives he played an important and often neglected role. His importance stems not just from the fact that he was a Canadian cartoonist when so few others were out there, or that he created long-form cartoon books when no graphic novel designation yet existed in book stores or libraries. Vaughn-James was also, and remains, a significant figure in comics history because his work was singular, literate, experimental, and often unsurpassably good. (more…)
From next week, writer Kevin Chong will be blogging from the Dawson City Music Festival in the Yukon, which begins July 17.
This will be my fourth trip to the Yukon in the past two years, and though I've managed to squeeze some work assignments into my travels, I keep finding excuses to return to renew my big heart crush on the place and its people. If you don't like the Yukon, I probably won't like you.
In my opinion, the Yukon is Canada in its most undiluted, and perhaps best, form. Like the rest of the country, it certainly gets cold enough there. And the abundant natural splendour is barely smudged by its human footprint. Its 30,000 or so permanent residents are an eccentric mixture of First Nations people, Canadians originally from other parts of the country, Europeans (many of the campground signs here are written in English and German) who fell hard for the writing of Jack London and Robert Service at an impressionable age. (Check out Johnny Cash's spoken-word performance rendition of Service's spooky tale-in-verse, "The Cremation of Sam McGee," here.) The pioneer spirit is still alive, its Gold Rush-era steamboats and brothels proudly burnished for happy tourists, and yet because so many Yukoners come from elsewhere and often travel during the cold, dark winter, the smallness of the communities never feels small-minded. (more…)
Matt Valentine doesn't speak the way he sings: in a nasal warble, something like Hans Moleman doing falsetto. The way he moves onstage, slumped forward, stomping out the beat, reminds me of someone I know. It all starts to make sense when I notice his Tonight's the Night T-shirt, hear his cover of "Powderfinger," and learn that his dog's name is Zuma. Yes, Valentine and his partner Erika Elder, who record under the name MV & EE, really love Neil Young.
This bothers me. You see, Valentine and Elder are from New England via New York City. They live among icons and we're rather short, so they don't need to cherry pick our supply. Moreover, I'm a little bit jealous. We Canadians get Neil filtered through our parents' record collections, the talking heads on public TV, grade school lessons in patriotism. To be a Canadian Neil Young fan requires a rediscovery: much like the Beatles, you become a fan when you start buying the records you once borrowed from your mother. The American Neil, the guru of Broken Arrow Ranch, is much more interesting than ours. (more…)
Here's a video of managing editor Jared Bland's recent interview with Stephen Marche, for the first Walrus Reads event at McNally Robinson's new Toronto bookstore.
"I read a copy of that magazine you work for," a friend of mine told me recently. "I like it. It's really Canadian, but it isn't lame."
Around the same time, a letter landed on my desk. Using a pseudonym, the correspondent, a self-described Canadian writer, aired his grievance about the alleged absence of Canadian content in current issue of The Walrus. "Inside the issue there are three short stories under the heading under the heading Summer Fiction," the correspondent wrote. "None of the stories contain any Canadian content or reference to Canadian culture and traditions." The letter was CC'd to the Canadian Council for the Arts, concerned whether "the powers that be are paying attention to what is being published in Canada."
The claims made in the letter are so flimsy that they aren't really worth knocking down. But while I doubt that many Walrus readers share our anonymous detractor's beef with insufficiently-Canadian Canadian fiction, I do think that this low whine draws attention to a more common assumption. Namely, that if it's Canadian, it's got to be lame. (more…)
In recent years, the bloody spectacle of mixed-martial-arts has rapidly grown in popularity. Tomorrow night, the largest MMA promotion, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, stages a landmark event, UFC 100. Though MMA understandably doesn't appeal to all tastes, tomorrow's event is of added importance because it offers the opportunity to witness one of Canada's most accomplished athletes at the top of his game: Montreal's Georges St-Pierre, the current UFC welterweight champion.
Responding to MMA's popularity are the competing choruses of devoted fans who obsess over it with a zeal geekier types (say, those of us at The Walrus) reserve for interests like Lost, and those disgusted by the sport's alleged barbarism. Of course, there's an expanse of grey between these, and it's here that my own impressions reside. (more…)

Bryci is getting popular online so yes, this means fakers are starting to pretend to be her. Most do this to try and scam gullible men for money.
Please read this so you ate better informed.
the ONLY profiles for Bryci online that are real are as follows:
- Bryci.com – My one and only website
- Twitter.com/Bryci – I have only 1 twitter.
- Bryci.Tumblr.com – the OFFICIAL tumblr!
- My Abibids profile – the only place to get authentic ME memorabilia
- BellaForums.com – the only forums I EVER chat in, free access for members of my site (bryci.com)
- I do not have a facebook or anything else that is not listed above.
When I say ONLY, that is what we mean. THERE IS NO OTHER BRYCI PROFILES.
If you see "Bryci" on Facebook, it's a faker. Period. No exception.
Of course the faker will tell you that she is real and tell you you found her real FB or some other lie but Bryci herself will tell you, watch the video – she is not on Facebook.
Bryci does not use IM programs. Bryci is not on Yahoo or AOL, MSN etc.
If you are messaged by someone claiming to be Bryci, use your head.
Why would a famous internet model randomly message a stranger?
She wouldn't, and she doesn't.
Bryci is also not in dating sites. Again, use your head. Why would a hot model need a date? Bryci has been in a long term relationship for close to seven straight years with James. James and Bryci own the Bella Network of websites. http://bellanetwork.com You can email James if you need to at james @ bellanetwork dot com.
Bryci is NEVER a model on assignment.
She does not work for other companies in other countries. This is one of the scams/lies the scammer will use. They will tell yuo that they are Bryci and they are in Africa on assignmnet, and now can't get home so please send money etc.
If you're gullible enough to believe this, please, think twice.
Email email@example.com or tweet to the REAL Bryci at http://twitter.com/bryci/ and ask her yourself.
Common sense should tell you a successful model doesn't need your money so she's not going to ask you for it via email or IM.
If you believe a faker and send money away, kiss it goodbye. Don't email us crying because you were stupid and didn't follow basic common sense. Sorry of that seems harsh of us, but com on, you should know better.
Bryci models for HER WEBSITE and that is it with exception of October 2012 Penthouse magazine.
The only time she will ask you for something – is to sign up for her website so you can chat with her live.
Fakers will tell you ever lie in the book to get you to believe them. Email us with any questions.

- Easy 5-Pay Plan
- CD-ROM or Digital Download
Your Purchase of Rosetta Stone® Software includes:
Our award-winning interactive course introduces you to vocabulary and grammar so you'll be speaking, reading, writing, and understanding your new language before you know it. Each level delivers more than 50 hours of language learning content — more than a college semester of study.
Sophisticated speech recognition technology evaluates your pronunciation more than 100x per second and gives you instant feedback. Our speech technology was extensively researched, and it's proprietary — which means you won't find it anywhere else.
Choose CD-ROM or Digital Download and install the software on up to 2 computers, for use by as many as 5 household members. You can learn with the whole family.
Our Proven Method
Language Learning That Works:
It's not an overpromise. It's at the core of our method's effectiveness.
From lesson one, the language you're learning is the only one you'll use.
No Translation
Although it may sound intimidating, it's actually a good thing. Without your native language for support, you'll have no choice but to be actively engaged in learning your new language. And that totally increases your chance for success.
Other language learning programs have you merely memorize words and phrases. Our method introduces your new language systematically—to help you internalize it and naturally develop a sense of how to use it correctly.
Every step of our method exposes you to a combination of language you've learned and language you don't know yet. Think of it as another reason our approach is so effective: We don't just teach you a new language, we're actually teaching you how to learn it.
Transform the Way You Learn.
Learn on your own terms and take your language with you anywhere.
We offer everything you need to start speaking now.

FLOUR BLUFF - The Hornets can't help but think about two years ago when they bounced Gregory-Portland from the State Baseball Playoffs, it's something Flour Bluff is hoping to repeat this year.
The two will open their best of three series on Friday and wrap it up on Saturday.
"Right now game 1 is the most important game of our season and we'll probably win that game and hopefully keep fighting and win both," said Pitcher Will Mendiola.
This is a baseball team who has been in postseason mode for the last 3 weeks, having to win their final five games just to go dancing, and then fighting tooth and nail to get past Mission Vets on Saturday.
""We came in thinking number one team and we did business Thursday night and got it done then we thought they would lay down, but they didn't, so we came out and fought and realized anyone can win at anytime so you gotta come with momentum that you are here to win and it's a job," said Pitcher Kolton Mims.
"Whenever we are up or down we are together as a team, we don't single anybody out for bad or for good we just take everything as a team effort and we are gonna continue to be a good team and continue playing as long as we can," said Infielder Rivers Ewing.
"Nobody wants to lose and for a lot of our seniors it's our last year playing baseball and we just want to continue to play," said Outfielder Garrett Foster.

Irradiated foods are foods that are sterilized using x-rays or radioactive materials that kill bacteria. The process is called irradiation. It is used to remove germs from food. It does not make the food itself radioactive.
The benefits of irradiating food includes the ability to control insects and bacteria, such as salmonella. The process can give foods (especially fruits and vegetables) a longer shelf life, and reduces the risk of food poisoning.
Food irradiation is used in many countries. It was first approved in the U.S. to prevent sprouts on white potatoes and for the control of insects on wheat and in certain spices and seasonings.

Dáil Éireann - Volume 656 - 17 June, 2008
Written Answers. - School Accommodation.
Deputy Brian Hayes Deputy Brian Hayes
Deputy Brian Hayes asked the Minister for Education and Science the number of schools in the country that have two storey prefab classrooms on their school campus; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22755/08]
Deputy Batt O'Keeffe Deputy Batt OKeeffe
Deputy Batt O'Keeffe: The information sought by the Deputy is not readily available in my Department. In general the vast majority of prefabricated accommodation in schools is single storey. However, in certain circumstances, such as in the case where the site occupied by the school is of restricted size, it may be preferable to provide a two storey unit.

5A Wood
Serge's drumming career began at age 13 on a small practice pad and little tips from other drummers in his family. A few years later Serge began studying with Mike Johnston of Mikeslessons.com and continued to study with Mike for the next 10years. During that time Serge became so drawn to drums that it became his passion to play and teach drums. At age 25 Serge became the owner of THE DRUM LAB in Sacramento, CA. Currently he teaches 60+ students a week and plays for a very wide variety of musical settings. His passion of drums continues to fuel his desire to learn more and continue moving forward with his drumming career, both teaching and playing.
For years I would bounce from stick to stick and not quite have that perfect stick or I would have issues with the consistency of other stick brands. After using Vaters Los Angeles 5A, I quickly made up my mind and noticed a big difference in the quality and consistency that Vater delivered over the others. Also to add to this, the company and the people that I work with at Vater are just incredible. Adding in all these factors, I feel very fortunate to now have myself and the other instructors of The Drum Lab become a part of the Vater Family! -Serge Lysak, Owner of The Drum Lab

I purchased the 32gb SD card for use in my D90 and D80. Although most cards vary in price and features, paying just a little bit more for the best and most trusted memory card out there pays off in the end. Most lesser cards will not even come close to the 30mb/s speed that the SanDisk Extreme card offers, which even when shooting at 4.5fps - at 12mp (jpeg) the card never lags due to buffering/downloading.
But aside from its speed. The protection of your images is what sets this card apart from the lesser priced cards. Xray, shock, water, and temperature proof features is what matters most when shooting everything from pictures of your kids, to a wedding... It doesnt matter how good you are, or what camera you shoot with if your card fails.

Ok, I wasn't going to buy a new iPad, but I did. I decided to sell my iPad 2 because I just wasn't using it much. I didn't pre-order the new one. I happened to go into Best Buy over the week-end, though, and saw that the screen resolution was so stunning. When they said that they had quite a few in stock, I bought the white, 64GB with WIFI but not 4G since I never used it on the iPad 2. Anyway, I love the enhanced resolution and the dictation feature. The iPad 2 is still an amazing iPad, but the New iPad just takes it to another level. Hopefully, I'll use this one more than I did the iPad 2. {
I ordered an iPad 2 yesterday. I chose the 64GB, WIFI/3G, black with red cover. I was persuaded by my daughter and everyone else who has one, so I hope it was a good decision. I really like my 15″ mbp, but it's a bit heavy to take with me and I thought the iPad would be more convenient. I also bought a Gelaskins cover for the back and a clear cover for the screen. Gelaskins supplies a frame for the front, but nothing for the screen, except for a matching wallpaper. I chose the Blimp Girl design by Aaron Kraten for my iPad skin. If you have a chance, check out all the designs at Gelaskins.

Biological Causes of Same-sex Attraction
Some scientists have searched for a direct genetic cause of same-sex attraction and found little evidence, but science has not shown that homosexuality is an inborn or biologically-determined characteristic. Most scientists today give genetic theories little credibility.
Some scientists have searched for a direct genetic cause of same-sex attraction—a gene or chromosome that actually determines sexual orientation. (Friedman and Downey, p. 149) Some studies hint at a biological component, but have not proven that same-sex attraction is an inborn or biologically-determined characteristic. If you read the reports published by the researchers, you find that they admit their current findings are not conclusive and simply hint at what some of the causes may be. Furthermore, these studies have not been able to be replicated. Sadly, some news reports have misrepresented or sensationalized the facts, leading some people to the mistaken notion that homosexuality is a genetic trait. Most scientists today give genetic theories little credibility. (Lewontin) The Gay and Lesbian Medical Association recommends that people not use the argument that homosexuality is biological because there is simply not enough evidence. Drs. Neil & Briar Whitehead state, "No genetically determined human behavior has yet been found." (Neil & Briar Whitehead, 1999) Most researchers and scientists believe there is no single cause, and that the factors may be different for different people.
Summaries of the more significant research in these biological areas is described below:
Twin studies
Drs. Michael Bailey and Richard Pillard studied identical and fraternal twins. (Bailey and Pillard, pp. 1089–96) They identified homosexual males who had identical twin brothers and found that 52% of the brothers were also homosexual. Among fraternal twins, they found the ratio to be 22%. They concluded that since identical twins had a higher incidence of mutual homosexuality than fraternal twins, there must be a genetic component in the development of homosexuality.
However, if genetics caused the homosexuality, the correlation between the identical twins (who have exactly the same genes) should have been much higher—even 100%. Since all the twins in this study were raised together, it is impossible to determine whether genetics or the same family environment contributed to the brothers' homosexuality. If the genes are identical and the brothers are raised in the same family environment, a correlation of only 52% in identical twins shows that other factors are involved.
Many question the validity of the twins study. The researchers commented that since their subjects were not selected by random sampling, they may have collected a biased sample with skewed results. (Bailey and Pillard, p. 1094) Another twin study was conducted a year later, which showed a correlation of only 25%. (British Journal of Psychiatry, pp. 407–409.)
Brain studies
In 1991, Dr. Simon LeVay, a neurobiologist at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, reported his findings from studying the brain structures of forty-one cadavers. (LeVay, pp. 1034–37) He concluded that an area of the hypothalamus (the INAH3) was smaller in homosexual men than in heterosexual men. (It was also found to be smaller in women than in heterosexual men.) However, these findings do not show any direct link between the hypothalamus and sexual orientation and, furthermore, are dubious at best because of the following reasons:
- It has not been determined that the INAH3 is involved in the development of sexual orientation. (Byne and Parsons, pp. 228–39)
- The sample size of this study was small (only forty-one). Furthermore, Dr. LeVay did not know the sexual histories of the cadavers he studied. Nineteen men apparently were homosexual and he assumed that the other sixteen men and six women were heterosexual. (Byne and Parsons, pp. 234-35)
- Since most of the subjects had died of AIDS, the HIV virus may have affected the brains in various ways, especially the hypothalamus, which is a major player in the immune system. LeVay himself admitted this was a serious flaw in the study. (There is also the possibility of research bias. Dr. LeVay told Newsweek that his lover's death from AIDS prompted him to find an inborn cause for homosexuality, a quest so important that he would give up his scientific career if he did not find it.)
- There were many inconsistencies in the findings. Three of the allegedly heterosexual men had a smaller INAH3 than the mean size for the "homosexual" men and three of the "homosexual" men had a larger INAH3 than the mean size for "heterosexual" men. (Cameron, p. 45)
- Many neuroscientists charge that LeVay deviated from protocol when he measured volume rather than the number of neurons in the INAH3. This is critical, since the area LeVay measured is very small (about the size of a snowflake).
- Dr. LeVay himself cautions that the results of his study "do not allow one to decide if the size of INAH3 in an individual is the cause or consequence of that individual's sexual orientation." (Science, p. 1036)
Anne Fausto-Sterling, a professor of medical science at Brown University, said, "My freshman biology students know enough to sink this study." (Gorman, p. 61)
Chromosome studies
In 1993, Dr. Dean Hamer announced that he had found a correlation between DNA markers on the X chromosome (region Xq28) and sexual orientation in a selected group of homosexual men and their relatives over age eighteen. In other words, "it appears that Xq28 contains a gene that contributes to homosexual orientation in males." (Hamer, pp. 325) In his book, Dr. Hamer stated, "We can make only educated guesses about the importance of Xq28 in the population at large." He concludes that "Xq28 plays some role in about 5 to 30 percent of gay men. The broad range of these estimates is proof that much more work remains to be done." (Hamer and Copeland, pp. 145–46) Scientists have since questioned the validity of these findings and what they purport to show. (Scientific American 1994, pp. 50–55) Dr. Hammer has been charged with research improprieties and is under investigation by the federal government for improperly excluding from his study men whose genetic makeup contradicted his findings. (Scientific American 1995, p. 26) A later study by the University of Western Ontario "found no consistent pattern of DNA similarity on the X chromosome." (Washington Post, pp. 5–6)
Hormone studies
Studies have shown that in some cases the mothers of homosexual males suffered a high degree of stress during their pregnancy. Since stress affects hormonal levels, some researchers suggest that decreased levels of testosterone could lead to a demasculinization of the developing brain. However, multiple studies over the years have not been able to substantiate the theory, and the available evidence is to the contrary. Ehrhardt and Meyer-Bahlburg wrote, "In the majority of intersex patients with known hormone abnormalities, the sexual orientation follows the sex of rearing. Consequently, we have to assume that prenatal hormone conditions by themselves do not rigidly determine sexual orientation." (Ehrhardt and Meyer-Bahlburg, p. 1316) Dr. John Money also states there is no evidence that prenatal hormonalization alone determines sexual orientation. (Money 1987, p. 398)
Experiments have been conducted wherein testosterone was given to homosexual males, both those who were effeminate and those who were not. "When there were any behavioral changes at all, the subjects became more like themselves than ever. Their sex drives were usually increased and sometimes their effeminate mannerisms as well (when they had any), but there were never any directional changes in their sexual interests. From these experiments . . . it has become abundantly clear that the sex hormones play a considerable role in powering human sexuality, but they do not control the direction of it." (Tripp, p. 12)
Biological conclusions
Some scientists have intently tried to discover scientific proof that same-sex attraction is genetic, and therefore, cannot be changed. Some studies hint at a biological component, but have not proven that same-sex attraction is simply an inborn or biologically-determined characteristic.
Biology may play some small role in influencing behavior or feelings. Some people seem susceptible to particular actions and may be drawn toward them or become addicted to them more easily than other people. (Oaks, p. 9) One person may be able to dabble with gambling, while another becomes a compulsive gambler. Some may drink only socially, while others have an unusual attraction to alcohol. Studies indicate that genetics may be a factor in susceptibilities to some behavior-related disorders, such as aggression, obesity, or alcoholism. Likewise, there are theories that claim biological predispositions influence the development of homosexual attractions when other life experiences are also present. (Friedman and Downey, p. 149)
Beyond such predispositions, some scientists search for more direct genetic causes—a gene or chromosome that actually determines sexual orientation. (Friedman and Downey, p. 149) None of these studies has shown any direct genetic cause of homosexuality.
Drs. Byne and Parsons of the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University reviewed the biologic theories of human sexual orientation in 1993 and concluded, "[T]here is no evidence at present to substantiate a biologic theory." (Byne and Parsons 1993, p. 228) No study suggests that a simple cause–effect relationship exists. (Hubbard and Wald) And Dr. Earl Wilson wrote, "the disputed evidence for physical causes of male homosexuality is even weaker when it comes to lesbianism." (Wilson, p. 76)
Regardless of the role that genetics play in the development of sexual
attractions, such attractions are changeable and treatable. In analogy, although
the City of Hope National Medical Center researchers found a certain gene
present in 77% of the alcoholic patients they studied, we have not abandoned
treatment for alcoholism. (Dallas 1992, pp. 20-23) Many former alcoholics have changed their
behavior and lead productive lives. You have control over your destiny. You have moral agency and can determine the course of your life.
Regardless of any biological thread, thousands of people who experience same-sex attractions have made changes in their lives for the better.

Environmental group, ratepayers push back on PSNH rate hike
In a motion filed with the PUC on Jan. 28, the Conservation Law Foundation and the ratepayers ask the commission to reopen hearings and revoke a 34-percent increase in PSNH's energy service rate, granted on Dec. 28.
The environmental group claims PSNH was not eligible for a rate increase because it failed to meet a September 2012 deadline for a long-range planning document required by law to prove that the company is pursing the lowest cost options. The company last filed a "least cost integrated resource plan" in September 2010.
In an order issued on Jan. 29, the PUC accepted the resource plan filed in 2010, and granted PSNH an extension to September 2013 for the mandatory biennial update.
"The PUC had a case that started in 2010, with final briefings in June of 2012, that they didn't act on for seven months," said Jonathan Peress, head of CLF's Clean Energy and Climate Change program, in regard to the resource plan review. "Then the day after we file this motion for a rehearing, they issue a decision ... I think it's curious."
A PUC spokesperson responded that the order on the long-range plan is unrelated to the CLF filing.
Even though the utility now technically has a long-range plan on record accepted by the PUC, Peress said his group's motion still stands.
He said the PSNH resource plan was not approved at the time its rate hikes were implemented, and it is still not fully approved despite the Jan. 29 PUC order, which acknowledges that continued operation of coal-fired plants in Newington and Bow were not addressed.
"The commission will issue a companion order on issues relating to (continued operation) for Newington and other PSNH generating units at a later date," the order states.
"Here's the bottom line," Peress said, "PSNH's expensive, inefficient and dirty power generation is needlessly extracting hundreds of millions of dollars from ratepayers for the profits of shareholders. The commission has an opportunity to address this again through our appeal. Thus far, they seem somewhat reluctant. They've had no less than five dockets in which they could address this issue (of the coal-fired plants), and they continue to defer."
PSNH spokesman Martin Murray cited the company's response, which states, "The motion is nothing more than a re-assertion of prior arguments that were rejected by the commission."
He said the least-cost plan was pending at the PUC while the energy service charge was being considered, and the PUC was authorized to approve the increase while the review was under way.
"The CLF is trying to broadcast a flawed legal theory that the PUC has previously considered and rejected," he said.
Separate investigation
The PUC on Jan. 18 did open an investigation into whether PSNH can provide competitive electric rates to its customers. The order opening the investigation acknowledged that market conditions have changed significantly since a 2003 law was passed allowing PSNH to retain generating plants.
The regulatory agency on Dec. 28 approved a PSNH energy service charge of 9.54 cents per kilowatt hour for the first half of 2013, up from the 2012 energy charge of 7.11 cents per kwh.
The increase in the energy service charge will be offset to a degree by a significant reduction in the charge for stranded cost recovery, designed to compensate PSNH for costs brought about by deregulation of the energy industry in New Hampshire.
The stranded cost recovery charge was approved at .737 cents per kwh, compared to 1.88 cents per kwh in 2012. A customer using 500 kilowatt hours per month will see their total monthly bill go up from $86.35 to $92.43, an increase of about 7 percent.
With natural gas prices at historic lows, competitive energy suppliers have been undercutting the PSNH energy charge for months, causing a large number to make the switch. As the PSNH energy charge goes to 9.54 cents per kwh, competitors like ENH are offering energy rates at 7.28 cents per kwh.
By the end of last year, 47,191 PSNH customers, or nearly 10 percent of its customer base, had switched to unregulated competitors for their energy supply. PSNH still makes money on transmission and stranded costs.
Nearly 50 percent of all the energy PSNH transmits to residential and commercial users is now provided by competitors, triggering alarm at the PUC over continued "customer migration" that leaves a smaller and smaller portion of the market with a growing portion of PSNH costs.
The New Hampshire ratepayers joining the CLF in its motion for rehearing on the PSNH energy rate are Alexandra and James Dannis of Dalton; William Hopwood of Elkins; Janet Ward of Contoocook; Amy Matheson of North Hampton; and George Chase of Hopkinton.

Bridle Party
I'm going to a friend's bachelor party in Vegas, which includes a strip club visit. My girlfriend said I have to sit that out. She believes going could lead me to cheat on her. I assured her that I have no intention of cheating — ever — and strippers have no interest in me anyway. Well, she's adamant. I caved, agreeing to skip the strip club, but my friends teasing will be merciless. What if I just go and fib to my girlfriend to keep everyone happy?
— Restricted
Unless your girlfriend's name is Moses and she's just come back from a mountaintop chat with God, she doesn't get to hand down commandments: "You look at some other woman's woohoobies and I'll ask The Big Guy to smite you."
Regarding your caving to her demand, you should un-cave; go to that club with your friends. Not secretly. Openly. In other words, tell her you're doing it. Because an adult shouldn't get to control another adult's behavior, and being in a relationship doesn't change that. Also, allowing her to give you orders sets a really bad precedent. (What will she object you out of doing next? And how soon before she fits you for a leash and a bark collar?)
A bachelor party is a male friendship ritual. While women tend to share their feelings Oprah's couch-style, men often bond through drinking, ribbing, and humiliation, like forcing their soon-to-be-married buddy to get onstage on his hands and knees to be spanked by the stripper. Your girlfriend seems to have given no thought to the social repercussions of your telling the guys your governess is making you stay back in your hotel room and watch a movie. (Would "Fried Green Tomatoes" work for her or would she prefer you watch something on the Lifetime channel?)
And sure, sex for pay is easily findable in Vegas. However, a typical bachelor party visit to a Vegas strip club takes place not at some seedy, out-of-the way joint where anything goes but at a ginormous corporate warehouse of stripping where some 6'8" genetic experiment of a man makes sure no male paws wander anywhere on the dancer they aren't supposed to. The strippers at these places can make 100K a year just dancing, and they aren't looking to the crowd for sex or boyfriends. (Their primary job isn't even dancing but stripping men of their money.)
You could have reassured her about all of this if you each hadn't taken the emotionally easy way out. Instead of talking about her fears, she went all ayatollah on you, and instead of standing up for yourself, you figured you'd just lie to her. Problem-avoiding — rather than laying out your feelings and problem-solving — tends to bode poorly for a relationship's survival. Backtrack and try a little adult conversation. You just might convince her that looking isn't the gateway drug to cheating — much like ogling a Porsche doesn't lead to grand theft auto. And when you leave for the weekend, she might be more likely to say, "Bye, have a ball" than "Bye, I have your balls."
June Wetting
My fiancée and I are getting married in Hawaii. She planned to have photos shot of us afterward, kissing in the ocean in our formalwear. I'm fine with this, but her dad is absolutely irate. We don't want kids, so there won't be any daughter to pass her dress to. Then again, her dad paid almost $3,000 for it, so I get where he's coming from.
— Middleman
There's her father growling, "Why not just flush my money down the toilet?" (Best that she not answer that with, "I actually had my heart set on taking it out to the ocean and drowning it.")
Your fiancée is looking to get in on a trend called "trash the dress," in which the bride gets photographed, post-wedding, destroying her dress while running through muddy woods, playing paintball, frolicking in the city dump, or throwing herself in the ocean. In concept, I love the "elegance goes for a muddy stroll" photos. However, I think this trend is pretty horrible, even when the bride — rather than the National Bank of Dad — has paid for her dress and is thus entitled to do whatever she wants with it. Maybe a far more wonderful final photo in your wedding album would be one of another bride — one who can't afford a dress or much of a dress — walking down the aisle in your wife-to-be's $3,000 gown. You'd be kicking off your marriage with an act of kindness, and she could still do the shot in the ocean — say, in a $35 sundress — or perhaps on the beach, dancing around the fire you light to burn all of your wedding gifts.
