Commercial Solar Rebates and Incentives
Get the Most out of Solar
With more than 15 years of experience, REC Solar knows commercial solar incentives and rebates, and can save you up to 50% of the initial system cost.
Our dedicated team of finance experts stays on top of ever-changing tax and incentive rules and regulations, and makes sure you maximize financial advantage of your solar investment. In addition, we handle all the paperwork.
Fill out the form at right with your questions or to receive a quote, and take the first step toward realizing a healthy financial return while producing clean solar electricity for your home or business.
Federal Incentives
With today's federal tax incentives, there's no better time to go solar. The federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) allows you to take an income tax credit equal to 30% of the total cost of your solar system. REC Solar's finance experts are happy to provide additional details regarding the ITC and other federal tax benefits – including bonus depreciation – and help you develop a solar solution which provides maximum financial advantage. Moreover, when you purchase a system with REC Solar, we'll make sure you and your tax preparer have the necessary information and documentation to claim all applicable federal tax benefits.
State Incentives
Dozens of states and over 200 utilities provide direct financial incentives for new solar systems. After all, you're adding additional capacity to the utility's grid and thus reducing the need for new power plants, transmission lines, and other infrastructure.
The nature, timing, and type of incentives provided for new solar systems vary widely. Rest assured, however, that REC Solar takes care of all the paperwork and in some cases guarantees the incentive, so we can design and install your solar electric system right away. State and utility incentives which may be available for your solar system (depending on location) include the following:
• Rebates and grants. Many states, including California, offer direct cash rebates to offset the initial cost of a solar system. Such rebates (sometimes termed 'up-front incentives') are generally only provided to smaller solar systems, and are calculated based on system capacity or expected performance.
• Performance-based incentive and feed-in-tariffs. Typically utilized for larger commercial solar systems, performance-based incentives and feed-in-tariffs pay solar system owners for every kilowatt-hour produced on a long-term basis.
• State tax credits and exemptions. In addition to the federal investment tax credit, a number of states offer corresponding state-level income tax credits for residential and/or commercial solar. Moreover, solar is exempted from sales and property taxes in many locales.
• Green attributes. Instead of offering a fixed up-front or performance-based incentive, many states are now simply allowing solar owners to sell the green attributes (often known as 'Renewable Energy Credits' or RECs) of their electricity on the open market. These markets are becoming an especially-prominent driver of commercial and residential solar in states including New Jersey and Massachusetts.
• Net Metering. Nearly every state in the nation offers net metering, which allows solar system owners to 'roll back their meter' and receive a full-retail bill credit for every kilowatt-hour produced by their solar system and in virtually all cases, allows these credits to rollover month-to-month. At the end of the year, your billing is reconciled and you either pay what you owe or the utility pays you. Net metering is typically provided in addition to direct financial incentives.
The availability of incentives is often limited, and the amounts provided are almost always reduced over time — so act now by contacting REC Solar today.
For example, up-front incentives for small commercial projects in California have declined from $2.50 per installed watt in 2007 to $.25 or less today, and will be going away entirely soon. Even though the cost of solar is falling dramatically, now might be just the right time to maximize financial opportunity with the waning availability of incentives, rebates, and tax credits. Rest assured that REC Solar can help you understand exactly which incentives are available in your area, and in most cases handles all of the paperwork.
REQUEST A QUOTE by filling out the form at right or calling REC Solar at to maximize these opportunities, and we'll let you know what's available in your area and how to optimize your financial return.

The Food Safety Net
Protecting the safety and integrity of the food supply is one of the oldest functions of government, one that the American people expect their government to perform and perform well.
The current food safety regulatory system in the United States is the shared responsibility of local, state and federal partners. In some cases, the federal government has delegated the responsibility for ensuring food safety to states and municipalities, which are often more nimble and able to respond quickly to localized public health problems. Approximately 80% of food safety inspections in the nation, for example, are completed at state and local levels. All 50 states hold the primary responsibility for ensuring the safety of milk and the sanitary operation of restaurants. In other areas, states have passed unique food safety standards that address local concerns or fill important gaps in food safety regulation left open by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory agencies. As federal agencies become increasingly under-funded and influenced by powerful corporate interests, the states' role in maintaining the food safety net grows ever-more important.
Read how state food safety laws are protecting public health in the following states: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Maine, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Rhode Island, and South Carolina. (all PDFs)

Thank you all for the nice comments. I wire brush these pots. This one was already painted white, and I went over it with Exterior primer (Zinsser brand-available at any hardware store). I brush, roll or smush the exterior red latex paint all over it, whatever gets it into all the grooves. The paint dries quickly, but I wait a few hours to be sure. I use a pretty dry brush, and lightly go over it with a dark blue exterior paint, just to hit the high spots to make the pattern show. If it's brushed on in light coats, the blue shows up better. If you hit the low spots and don't like how it looks, just go over them again with the red, (or any color). The inside was sprayed with a can of rubberized car undercoating from the auto parts store, so the water doesn't soak through and lift the outside paint. I think there's a product to coat the inside of pots, but this stuff is very quick and there's no cleanup (unless you get it all over yourself, lol). Wait about a day to plant in it. It's best to not let these pots sit in water because the paint may come off. I put them on a tile, brick, stove burner grate or anything to keep them from staying wet. Linda |
OOlala, another beautiful addition to Linda's garden!! Going to have to get a can of red paint as that makes the plants look great!!! Eye popping project!! I knew those hose things were good for something, I passed on 1 a few weeks ago. Big mistake!! I want 1 now!! Jan |

Messy handwriting in patient records is a thing of the past at Methodist Hospitals. In late August, the hospital system launched EPIC, an electronic medical records system implemented to improve efficiency and patient safety. The first few months on the system have run smoothly thanks to extensive training, said Loren Chandler, vice president and chief financial officer of Methodist Hospitals. "It's something that's demanded now," Chandler said of the roughly $35 million investment. "It's more a safety and quality initiative, but there will be some cost savings over time as a byproduct."
On a recent morning, a demonstration of the technology showed each nurse with an individual mobile work station, with each patient's information at their fingertips. Previously stored in folders filled with multiple pages of notes, the info is now stored in the program.
"As far as legibility, it's amazing," said Lois Martin, a nurse with Methodist for the past 17 years and a principal trainer for the EPIC system. "I can see everything I need to do. It gives reminders. Instead of fishing through the folder, it's constantly updated."
Along with providing information to physicians and nurses, EPIC keeps track of what medications a patient is supposed to receive. Nurses scan the medication and a bar-coded wrist band worn by the patient. The system checks that the medication is correct, that it's the proper doses and given at the right time. It also checks for allergies and possible complications. "It's made things a lot easier," Dr. Hakam Safadi, a pulmonologist, said as he used the program to look at an x-ray. "Everything you need is at your fingertips."
Chandler attributes the relatively smooth transition to the extensive training employees went through. He said some employees were picked to be part of a two-month training with EPIC educators. Then those educators provided 20 hours of training to every nurse and 4 hours of education to every physician. Once the implementation began, "superusers" were stationed on each floor to help with any problems that arose. The implementation will carry into next year when another program for physicians will be installed. Also, an online connection called MyChart is being consider for patients to access their own medical information, contact their doctors and schedule appointments, said Kari Hutchison, a nurse and project director for EPIC. She anticipates the hospital system will be almost completely paperless by April.

It seems like a read a post about some type of spray that you can apply to your lawn that then makes it so less watering is required. Seems like reviews were mixed but now I can't find the thread. Does anybody remember the name of that product? |

Are you referring to a product that is either a wetting agent or a soil surfactant? Or are you referring to the generic baby shampoo? |
It's not cheap, but you may be talking about "Root Zone Antitranspirant". There are university studies that show it can help turf get through longer periods of drought stress. |

@dchall: Which product are you inquiring about, Primer or Hydretain? |
- Posted by Colleen Clifford(firstname.lastname@example.com) onSun, Jun 26, 11 at 13:22
Hi all, First, in the spirit of full disclosure: I work for Aquatrols, the company that manufactures Primer Select and other soil surfactant technologies. That being said, I'm not here to sell you anything, just offering some educational assistance. :) Over time and for a variety of reasons, soils can develop waxy coatings on the soil particles that make it water repellent. Water repellency prevents water from moving into the soil properly. Water tends to either run off the surface of repellent soils or evaporate before it has a chance to soak down into the soil where turf roots can access it. Soil surfactants (or wetting agents) 'coat the coatings,' allowing the soils to accept water more easily and distribute it more evenly. Better distribution of water = easier access by plant roots, which means that you'll be able to use less water to get the job done. Here's a quick 'down and dirty' video I did that shows surfactants in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtXwlg3aJck Using soil surfactants is definitely a smart tool for maintaining a healthy lawn with less water. There are a number of very good surfactant products out there, in both sprayable and granular spreadable formulations to meet your application preferences. Hope this info was helpful. If anyone's interested in learning more about soils and surfactants (non-commercial of course!) or needs some help in locating university research on these products, drop me a line. I'm always happy to help. :) |
Here is a link that might be useful: Aquatrols website

OMG! Colleeen, speaking as a moderator on several lawn care forums (not this one), we love you! Thank you for the disclosure up front. In all these years I have yet to see this done at one my sites. THANK YOU! For what it is worth, I don't know any mods who would begrudge anyone who disclosed up front their affiliation with a product. 99.9999999999% of the time we get business owners signing up and praising a product as if they were just a homeowner. In fact I give you bonus points for being so forthright. BUT BEFORE YOU CLICK THE AQUITROLS WEBSITE, be advised that there seems to be a problem with authentication of the certification as a secure site. Here is another link that seems to go there. Colleen says, Over time and for a variety of reasons, soils can develop waxy coatings on the soil particles that make it water repellent. Waxy is a good way to describe it. One or more of those reasons is bacterial and fungal activity. Byproducts of these critters can be a slime that, when it dries, becomes very hydrophobic. Get enough of that and you have problems as shown in the video she linked to. Using a surfactant on soil like that will help to grow beneficial fungi which, presumably, will strip off the coating in a more natural way. |

I have no problem with commercial surfactants. If you can sell them, fine. But everyone keep in mind a Surfactant is plain ole mild soap like baby shampoo. Add a little stale bear and a enzyme found in human saliva or the Yucca plant and you have a very inexpensive professional grade surfactant. |

@dchall_san_antonio You are quite welcome. :) I don't think manufacturers and distributors should have to hide who they are on forums - we really can be an excellent source of information. (And thanks for fixing my botched link!) @texas-weed - Excellent reasearch. :) You are correct that surfactants are classified in the same chemistry range as "soaps" (baby shampoo included), but keep in mind that this range is quite wide. An occasional drench with a mild soap-based mix probably won't do much damage (my grandmother swore by an occasional tossing of dishwater in the flowerbed!), but many soaps are anionic which over time can deflocculate your soils. (Meaning that it will keep soil particles from naturally clumping together, which is necessary to create pore spaces for air and water to circulate correctly through the soil profile.) I did a quick check of name-brand baby shampoos and most of the "no tears" kind are listed as non-ionic (same general chem class as turf surfactants), but I would still be cautious of using on a regular basis. Test it on a small area for a while first to make sure it's working the way you want it to. The article you cited is correct, in that a soil that is not water repellent doesn't need wetting agents. Why fix something that ain't broke? ;-) As long as a soil remains moist, it is less likely to develop water repellency issues. The problem comes when it's allowed to dry out -- in very basic terms, the water-catching organic matter on the soil particles starts to curl in on itself, and if let go too far will harden to the point that it no longer readily accepts water. If you have gotten to this point, wetting agents are the easiest fix for the problem. The best way to tell if your soils are in need of wetting agent help is to do a Water Droplet Penetration Test (WDPT). I couldn't find a simple protocol for this on the internet, but I can get one from our R&D department if you're interested. It basically involves pulling a soil core, drying it out for a couple of days, and then putting water droplets along the length of the core. How quickly the water drop absorbs into the soil (or if it does at all) will help you determine the level of water repellency, as well as how deep into your profile it goes. (Most often it's just within a 1/2 inch of the surface.) Knowing how severe and how deep the water repellency is (if present) will help you determine the best product for your needs. If you have the patience, pulling and testing cores from several areas across your turf will tell you if you have a localized problem that only requires spot treatment, or if it's an issue that needs area-wide treatment. (Just remember to label where each core was pulled from!) Thanks for allowing me to participate in the discussion, and please let me know if I can help with any additional information! |

texas-weed: My knowledge of a soil surfactant and its relationship to a soil matrix serves me well when I need to address an issue of soil hydrophobicity and any possible related condition, such as superficial fairy ring. I can assure you that plain ole soap ain't gonna solve the surface tension problem like the soil surfactant I choose to use. If someone chooses to use soap or baby shampoo and it resolves their issue, then that is a positive result for them. The outdated article to which you linked contained some general information about wetting agents, but it did not provide any significant argument to support the claim that surfactants and wetting agents are completely useless. I will be glad to provide selected statements from that same article to support my point of view. |
- Posted by texas-weed 7A (My Page) on Mon, Jun 27, 11 at 13:24
Nearandwest you are missing the point I was trying to make. Wetting agents only work in water repellent soils and not a cure all. The last or Conclusion titled: Deciding When to Use a Wetting Agent is the point I was making. The actual wetting agent is irrelevant. Sometimes advertisements for wetting agents and the labels on these products claim or imply that they are universally effective under all soil conditions. These claims are misleading. Tests in which wetting agents have been applied to normal, wettable soils have failed to substantiate claims that these products will increase water infiltration, plant population, nutrient uptake, and crop yield. They are effective only on soils that are at least somewhat water repellent. Several methods can be used to determine the extent to which a soil is water repellent. The most precise methods require laboratory facilities, but several tests can be conducted in the field. The one most useful for preliminary tests is simply to place a drop of water on the soil surface and observe how long it takes to penetrate the soil. On a wettable soil, the water drop will flatten and move into the soil within a few seconds. On more water-repellent soils, the drop of water will stand more upright and will move more slowly into the soil. As mentioned earlier, water infiltrates more slowly into fine-textured soils than into most coarse-textured soils. Poor tillage practices can also reduce infiltration rates. Before spending money on a wetting agent, be sure that slow infiltration is being caused by water repellency, not some other factor. Wetting agents will improve infiltration rates only in soils that have water-repellent properties, regardless of their texture, tilth, and aggregation. |
- Posted by nearandwest 7 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 27, 11 at 15:51
Yes, I missed the point you were trying to make, because your comment about surfactants and wetting agents being useless was very misleading to me. I know for sure that was not your intent. However, I think you also missed the point that was being made by the author. Oh, and by the way, your statement "Wetting agents only work in water repellent soils" is not a true statement. Do you know why it is not true? |
- Posted by nearandwest 7 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 29, 11 at 13:27
Ok, I need to end my contribution to this thread. The reason that the statement is not true is as follows: When wetting agents are applied to a soil as part of a regular program prior to the onset of a hydrophobic condition, the soil never becomes water repellent. Therefore, wetting agents can work in soils other than those which are water repellent by preventing the water repellent condition from occuring in the first place. Ok, I'm done with this discussion. Weed, I apologize if I offended or irritated. That was not my intent. I think some of the comments just pegged my meter :). Have a nice day. |

The Card
Moving away from the bundle and onto the video card you're going to notice the familiar look that's present thanks to the use of that reference cooler again. The only difference is of course the sticker that's installed which in this case has Sapphire HD 7970 written on it. The reference design is exactly what we want to use today since we want to run two of these cards in CrossFire.
Taking a quick look around the card you can see our two PCIe power connectors at the back in the form of a single 8-Pin and single 6-Pin. Closer to the front we've got our two CrossFire connectors which we'll be making use of today along with the BIOS switch we've seen on all the HD 7970s we've looked at so far.
Finishing off with the IO side of things finds two MiniDP ports, HDMI and a Dual Link DVI connector. The top half is of course a vent that helps let the hot air escape. While this overall fan design with this design tends to be a little louder, when moving to a multi GPU setup, the fact that it pushes the hot air straight out the back of the case, verse just pushing it around the case, tends to result in better cooling numbers.
Firing up GPU-Z it comes as no surprise that the default clocks of the card are in line with the reference model and that means that the core comes in at 925MHz while the 3GB of GDDR5 memory carries a clock of 5500MHz QDR.
The main thing we want to look at above is to make sure that CrossFire is up and running and as you can see down the bottom under the CrossFire section, it's of course enabled via two GPUs, which is exactly what we want to see. Of course the only real way to make sure everything is working is to get into the benchmark side of things, before we do that let's just quickly look over our testbed.

"Playlist," Kiernan Maletsky, November 19
We would like to thank Kiernan Maletsky for taking the time to review our CD, Nation of Three. We are glad he considers that we are "competent" and recognizes our ability to "hit notes." We are sorry he clearly has no interest in the style of music we play, and that he would not go out of his way to hear us.
We're also sorry he didn't go out of his way to listen to our CD before he reviewed it — or that if he did, he was unable to identify the instruments we are playing. We assume something as old-timey as "journalistic accuracy" or even "reading the liner notes" is as unappealing to him as our "old-timey" sound.
The Alltunators
"Building a Case," Jared Jacang Maher, November 12
Born on the wrong side of the tracks? Be very, very careful should you stumble into the old boys' club either by design or accident. Abortive developers Erik and Angela Osborn are learning the hard way that the rich never lose. The rich will always — always — have a fall guy on hand, and eleven times out of ten, that sucker will be a striving rube like the Osborns. Why else would wealthy, brilliant businesspeople like Doug Moreland and Michelle Brokaw or wealthy political insiders like Robert Greenlee even bother dirtying their hands with swarthy types like the Osborns?
The Osborns — painted as a latter-day Bonnie and Clyde by Westword's "reporter" — were clearly only pulling exactly the same sort of financial and business sleight-of-hand that their wealthy partners engage in hourly. But these poor saps lacked the R-250 insulation of sleazy attorneys, crooked accountants and unethical financial advisors to...fix niggling little issues of legality, to say nothing of the judges, prosecutors, politicians and even "journalists" who either curry favor with the rich or are simply in their pockets. Little people like the Osborns, who find themselves in this viper's nest, always take it up the ass — hard and without protection — if the shit hits the fan.
Of course, when the rich lose money, someone's always there to bail them out. Or the "authorities" are there to take it from someone poorer, whether that is a pound of gold or of flesh. Curiously, district attorneys who are frothing at the mouth to go after the Osborns seem to have no interest in going after the multitudes of hucksters on TV and radio stations encouraging Joe and Jane 'Forty to buy into clearly crooked multi-level and Internet marketing and real-estate scams. I guess these white knights of the prosecutor's bar are too busy down at the club themselves, lifting a martini or three with important people.

Plessey fabs GaN-on-Si lighting LEDs in the UK
Plessey is sampling 350mW lighting LEDs, made in its 6in Plymouth fab using a GaN-on-silicon process. Possible applications are anticipated in accent lighting, wall washing, wall grazing and strip-lighting.
"The Magic GaN line using standard semiconductor manufacturing processing provides yield entitlements of greater than 95% and fast processing times," claimed the firm.
"PLB010350 is our first, high current device operating at anywhere from 350mA through to 2A in pulse applications," said Plessey's COO Barry Dennington. "We have also been able to demonstrate the versatility and the potential of the Plessey GaN on Si technology by constructing an LED with a relatively large die area."
The data sheets are now up on the Plessey website. For example, see the MAGIC LED PLB117010 Series Advanced Datasheet.

Although Julia had experience working with impoverished populations in Peru, her work at LIFT proved unexpectedly difficult. "LIFT is much more emotionally challenging than I thought it would be, and I have become very invested in it," she says.
"In Peru, there is no government assistance and there aren't many opportunities. In the U.S., we have a lot of government programs, but they are not all working. There are more opportunities here, but that doesn't mean there are enough opportunities for everyone."
As a member of the Uptown employment intern team, Julia has been a huge asset. Along with fellow interns Claire and David, Julia has helped put on four employment workshops for clients throughout the semester, with topics ranging from networking tips to interview skills. These workshops are a great way for clients to come together as a community and talk about best practices and common struggles.
In addition to workshops, Julia has conducted many one-on-one meetings with clients. Through this work, Julia's perspective on poverty and opportunity has changed. "I grew up with the mentality that if people tried hard enough, they would be able to get a job and succeed. I have now realized that people get caught in situations and have traumatic experiences that make it hard for them to beat the odds. I have realized how interconnected problems are."
Julia graduates in May 2012 and plans to continue working in urban communities. She hopes to work in a church setting with youth. She is certain that her experiences with LIFT will help in her future endeavors.

A Card of the Week for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game |
A Game of Thrones LCG | Published 24 February 2010 |
Hello A Game of Thrones fans! The snow is still thick on the ground in our own little Winterfell of FFG HQ, but the sun is starting to come back out again and our fingers are unfrozen enough to type another Card of the Week.
We apologize for the early card preview this week: we have a big A Game of Thrones announcement to make later this week and we didn't want to lose this little tradition under it.
Not that the imminent arrival of the next pack in Defenders of the North is small potatoes. This set is so far really exciting for those with a love of the Night's Watch and Wildlings. Of course, for those whose interests lie South of the Wall, there's plenty of cool stuff as well, and as a pre-Beyond the Wall release present, we present this little beauty, Bronze Shield.
Bronze Shield has a nice cancel effect and if you have a cheap character that you aren't terribly attached to, you wouldn't be against throwing that character on an event grenade. Examples of such cheap, potentially disposable characters are House Dayne Knight (Princes of the Sun, F11); Refugee of the Citadel (Refugees of War, F92) if you know you aren't going to win Dominance; Fleabottom Scavenger (A Time of Trials, F35) if it's already done its job; or maybe Orphan of the Greenblood, (Princes of the Sun, F15) if the event you're canceling is bad enough.
The little side bonus of drawing a card in Summer is also a nice feature of Bronze Shield, but consider the possibility of attaching it to a high-STR character like Areo Hotah (Princes of the Sun, F5) or Desert Exiles (Scattered Armies, F112) and then, when your opponent plays an event that you'd like to cancel, you kill this beefy character with Bronze Shield and then play Blood for Blood (Princes of the Sun, F20). This combo hits your opponent with the double-whammy of having had an event canceled, followed by getting a character killed, potentially another high-STR character. (This combo courtesy of Nate French)
That's it for this week's Card of the Week. We hope it encourages heated discussion of Bronze Shield (and our stealth-CotW, Frozen Moat) here in the comments and on the A Game of Thrones forums. Until next week!
BUT WAIT! Be sure to come back on Friday for an announcement regarding A Game of Thrones: The Card Game!
. . .
Based on George R.R. Martin's bestselling fantasy epic, A Song of Ice and Fire, A Game of Thrones: The Card Game brings the beloved heroes, villains, locations, and events of the world of Westeros to life through innovative game mechanics and the highly strategic game play. The Living Card Game™ format allows players to customize their gaming experience with monthly Chapter Pack expansions to the core game.
Martell has so many control and revenge events that I don't know if this one will fits every Red decks. Maybe it is a card like reserves that at first sight I thought it would be put in every deck, then after some use I abandoned it. The problem is that I think martell has the best events/effects in the game so it is difficult to fit only 60-65 cards in a deck :-)
Oh yeah you're right of course Gualdo. Oh well, it still seems like quite a good one.
I think you cannot counter brienne ability with stark location cause "you cannot trigger effect" and frozen moat is a triggered effect
Yeah, you're right. I glossed over the repeat notice: it's regarding the card game.
I agree that there's been some great announcements regarding AGoT LCG, hopefully the Friday announcement will keep this tradition.
Regarding the Bronze Shield. If Cap America can use a shield as a thrown weapon, then so can a Martell. On a related note, doesn't the name "Red Viper" has Super Villain written all over it?
I like the Stark location. Anything that counters Brienne of Tarth is well worth consideration in my book.
Is the Bronze Shield really meant to have the Weapon trait? o.O
Like both of these cards previewed. The shield looks like it will be an awesome cancel ability and of course can be used to combo as well, as noted in the article. Those who hate playing against Martell are going to have more reason to hate soon. The Stark location looks like it will be useful as well, and the cost doesn't appear to make it prohibitive, so I think it will get some play.
As for the announcement, can't wait to see what that's all about.
Martell is the bomb! That shield is awesome, and just may replace The Hand's Judgement in my deck.
And there have been some many great GoT announcements this year I can't imagine what this new one is going to be. Can't wait to find out.
BUT WAIT! Be sure to come back on Friday for an announcement regarding A Game of Thrones: The Card Game!
It's definitely about the lcg.
I would hope either OP or a specific event tied to that announcement of Martin's visit to FFG's Event Center in November.
CORE SET 2? Or maybe LORDS OF VALLEY - Arryn expansion.
I think it will relate to the LCG, since it was posted in an LCG article and could have easily been posted in one of the other posts related to the other Westeros based games.
Mayhap it's the AGoT Adventure Game by Eric Lang that some of us have been waiting on?

January 20, 2015 — This thematic series is on the topic of cell signaling from a cell biology perspective, with a particular focus on G proteins. Authors discuss biosensors that are being used to monitor G protein signaling events in live cells, the implementation of antibody-based biosensors to dissect endosome signaling by G proteins and their receptors, and the function of a non-receptor, cytoplasmic activator of G protein signaling, called GIV (Girdin). Collectively the advances described in these articles provide a deeper understanding and emerging opportunities for new pharmacology.

December 5, 2014 — In this thematic minireview series, the JBC presents six articles on radical SAM enzymes that accomplish wide-ranging chemical transformations. We learn that despite the diversity of the reactions catalyzed, family members share some common structural and mechanistic themes. Still in its infancy, continued explorations promise to be fertile grounds for discoveries that will undoubtedly further broaden our understanding of the catalytic repertoire and deepen our understanding of the chemical strategies used by radical SAM enzymes.

I live in SoCal (Irvine, Orange County, near LA) ... I would like to know if I could grow Sarracenia pitchers outside ...
because it's a little cold at night and it's boiling hot during the day sometimes. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, grow them outside. I lived in Irvine but I am now in the Inland Empire where it gets much hotter during the days and it still gets cold at night. Your plants will do fine. |
Agreed! I have to put mine in the fridge here in the winter in N.Y. but you should be fine. Enjoy! |
thanks for the reply, one more question though -- do I put Sarracenia in the fridge during winter in Irvine or do I leave them outside thanks tons |
I don't know what winter is like where you are but if you don't get frosts I'd leave them outside. |
but if I don't get frosts, would my plants go into dormancy? |
The will do fine outside year round in S. CA. They will still go dormant in late fall/winter from the shorter daylight hours. Just make sure in dry times you use good water, rain, distilled or RO. Start catching rain water now if you haven't already. |
but if I don't get frosts, would my plants go into dormancy? |
They will still go dormant in late fall/winter from the shorter daylight hours. |
- Posted by petiolaris Neutral (My Page) on Sun, Apr 18, 10 at 16:42
We don't get too many frosts out here in Riverside and my plants went dormant around late October/early November. It gets cold enough in Irvine, and like Taz said, the hours of sunlight will decrease and send them into dormancy. |
Sorry Taz lol, I didn't check my message on time so I posted a question that was already being answered. And for the water, is it okay if I use tap water with instant water conditioner for aquarium -- would that be okay for the plants? |
Sure, if you want to kill your plants. Most tap water has too many dissolved solids. If the TDS is below 100 it's fine but I doubt your tap water is that pure. Rain, distilled or RO only. |

Consortium dumps Schneider trash-to-ethanol deal
By Carrie Napoleon Post-Tribune correspondent March 26, 2013 7:00PM
Updated: April 28, 2013 7:04AM
The deal to transfer ownership of the long-delayed trash-to-ethanol plant in Schneider has been scrapped.
SMC LLC, the local construction consortium established to purchase the technology rights and contract for the proposed project, cited an inability to obtain adequate funding — the same issue that earlier plagued Powers Energy of Indiana LLC.
In a letter to the Lake County Solid Waste Management District, Merrillville attorney George Carberry, who is representing SMC, writes: "SMC has been engaged in a comprehensive due diligence review of the feasibility of taking over from Powers the development and funding of an advanced bioenergy facility. … As a result of this review, it has become apparent that SMC is unable to generate the financing necessary to advance the project to its satisfaction."
Carberry writes SMC is unwilling to proceed further with the purchase transaction with Powers and has terminated its contractual arrangements pertaining to the development and funding of the project with the company.
A statement on behalf of the Solid Waste Management District, provided by attorney Clifford Duggan, notes the matter regarding the trash-to-ethanol plant was already scheduled for discussion at the April 18 district board meeting.
The board had agreed to give SMC until the end of the first quarter to see if the first waste-to-ethanol plant in Vero Beach, Fla., would begin producing commercial-grade ethanol. The date that plant was to be online has been delayed more than 10 months.
"Pending District Board action, and in light of the legal issues which may arise from this matter, there will not be any public comment other than the District Board action itself," the statement reads.
The LCSWMD board previously had found Powers Energy to be in breach of contract for failing to meet numerous specified deadlines for the acquisition of funding and launch of the project.
When reached Tuesday, Griffith's representative on the board, Rick Ryfa, who has repeatedly been opposed to extending the contract for the project after the Powers breach of contract, said he was not aware SMC had decided to quit. He deferred comment until he could review the letter and speak with Duggan.
Schneider Town Council President Richard Ludlow said he was surprised by the news. As recently as last week, Ludlow said, he had received optimistic input from SMC.
"I'm extremely disappointed they pulled out. I don't know exactly what it means yet," Ludlow said, adding he would have to discuss the matter with the town's attorney. SMC's departure leaves the contract with Powers in limbo.
"It throws it back on Powers and the board is not very happy with him," Ludlow said.

Hollywood United Hitmen News Release - www.hollywoodutd.com
Friday, April 24, 2009
HOLLYWOOD, CA -- Having successfully merged with fellow local side the LA Blues, the famous Hollywood United F.C. will for the first time be competing in the Premier Development League following their acquisition of the franchise rights held by the San Fernando Valley Quakes. The team will compete as the Hollywood United Hitmen.
"Both teams have been successful within the Los Angeles Coast Soccer League so merging and forming a new entity was an easy choice for the clubs," said Actor Anthony LaPaglia, star of the CBS drama Without a Trace. "Great things can happen when winning organizations come together and we expect that to be the case with Hollywood United Hitmen."
Hollywood United F.C. caught the attention of many in 2008 when they defeated the USL First Division Portland Timbers in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. Fellow USL-1 side and 2007 tournament semifinalists Seattle Sounders knocked the Cinderella side out the following round. The LA Blues are the men's side of the Pali Blues soccer club, which captured the 2008 USL W-League championship.
"We are thrilled to welcome Hollywood United to the USL family," said USL Executive Vice President and COO Tim Holt. "We have been in discussions with the club for a few years on joining USL and were pleased to see their US Open Cup success last year, albeit at the expense of one of our current clubs at the time. We are glad that they have been able to join the PDL for this season and look forward to what we expect will be a marquee addition to USL."
Hollywood United has several teams within the club broken down by age groups, including adult sides featuring original members of the team, which formed in the mid 1980's.
The Hollywood United Hitmen will play at the Pacific Palisades High School, home of the Pali Blues. The PDL team will also be one of four sides in the league competing under professional status.
Since the beginning, HUFC has had some pretty famous faces pull on the black jersey. Players such as Steve Jones (Sex Pistols), Ian Astbury (The Cult), Richard Gough (Scottish International), Frank LeBoeuf (French International), Youri Djorkaeff (French International), Ray Winstone (Actor), Vinnie Jones (former pro/Actor), Jason Statham (Actor), Brandon Routh (Actor), Gilles Marini (Actor), Donal Logue (Actor) Alexi Lalas and of course, HUFC's owner, Anthony LaPaglia have all played or still play for HUFC.
In addition to providing local celebrities a team to play for in their free time, the club also brings them together in philanthropic efforts. Among the recent events was the opening of a medical facility in Haiti.
Paul Haggis, Diane Lane, Josh Brolin, Jimmy Jean-Louis, Madeleine Stowe, Maria Bello, Michael Stahl-David and former US Senator John Edwards celebrated the opening with Haitian children and their families. The new facility, Kay Ste Germaine will provide care for special needs children as part of Saint Damien, the only free pediatric hospital in Haiti, built and funded by Italian non-profit NPH (Our Little Brothers).
The Hitmen will be looking to make a big impression as a semi-pro outfit this year and going by the success of the club's charity events throughout the country, every game is sure to be electric.

How an Olive Oil Cruet Can Help Keep Your Stove Clean
When you see this kind of bottle (technically called an olive oil cruet), you probably think salad dressings and pasta with fresh olive oil. But keeping one near your stovetop can actually help you keep your cooking surface clean, and prevent dried-on food splatters.
Simply fill the bottle with water and a bit of mild dish detergent. Then when you're done cooking, and the stovetop has cooled a bit, sprinkle some of the soapy solution on any splatters and let them sit for 10 minutes. This will soften any spills, allowing you to wipe them up quickly and without a lot of elbow grease.

Week of May 20, 2013
Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic
Ocean Club Golf Course
Atlantis, Paradise Island
Nassau, Bahamas
Top Storylines
Paradise Awaits the LPGA: A world-class field will tee it up in Paradise this week at the inaugural Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic. The tournament, one of three new tournaments on the 2013 LPGA schedule, is a four-day, 72-hole stroke-play event with a $1.3 million purse and a $195,000 first-place check. Every 2013 tournament winner is in the field including 21-year-old Jennifer Johnson, who became a Rolex First-Time Winner at last week's Mobile Bay LPGA Classic.
The Ocean Club Golf Course at Atlantis, Paradise Island will play host to the LPGA for the first time this week. The course was originally designed by Dick Wilson and opened in 1954, but was completely redesigned by Tom Weiskopf, who opened the layout to the scenic ocean views while lengthening and toughening the course. The redesign was completed in 2000 and re-opened to rave reviews. The Ocean Club Golf Course, which borders the Atlantic Ocean, previously played host to the Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational from 2001 to 2010 and currently hosts the Michael Douglas and Friends Celebrity Golf Tournament.
Global Stars in Action: Some of the biggest names in women's professional golf return to action this week as the race for the top spot on the Rolex Rankings continues. Currently No. 1 Inbee Park will be joined by nine of the top-10 players on the world rankings including No. 2 Stacy Lewis, who last week recorded her eighth top-10 finish of the season with a solo ninth in Mobile. Projections to determine if Lewis can unseat Park for the No. 1 spot this week will be available on Wednesday morning. Twenty-one major champions will tee it up on the 6,644-yard, par-73 layout this week.
Solheim Cup "Bubble" Travels to Bahamas: Each of the players ranked sixth through 10th on the U.S. Solheim Cup points race will play this week's Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic. Jennifer Johnson moved into the 10th spot following a victory yesterday in Mobile. Lexi Thompson (sixth) and Jessica Korda (seventh) strengthened their spots in the race following a tie for 10th and a tie for second, respectively. Lizette Salas (eighth) and Brittany Lang (ninth) will look to regain momentum at the Ocean Club Golf Course. The top eight players on the points list qualify for the 2013 U.S. Solheim Cup Team, followed by the top-two ranked players on the Rolex Rankings not otherwise qualified. U.S. Team Captain Meg Mallon will add two captain's picks to round out the 12-player squad.
Competition at an all-time high on the LPGA: The Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic is the second in a four-tournament stretch that concludes with the second major championship of the season – the Wegmans LPGA Championship. In recent tournaments, the Tour has seen intense competition:
LPGA LOTTE Championship Presented by J Golf: Lizette Salas shot 62 on Sunday to force a playoff with Suzann Pettersen, who went on to win after one hole of sudden death
North Texas LPGA Shootout: Rolex Rankings No. 1 Inbee Park made birdie on 18 to win the inaugural event by one shot over Spaniard Carlota Ciganda.
Kingsmill Championship: Former Rolex Rankings No. 1 Cristie Kerr outlasted Suzann Pettersen in a two-hole, sudden-death playoff to pick up her 16th-career LPGA win
Mobile Bay LPGA Classic: In a week where birdies were bountiful, 21-year-old American Jennifer Johnson shot a final-round 65 to win by one shot over 20-year-old American Jessica Korda and Thailand Pornanong Phatlum
The Local Angle: Georgette Rolle, 28, received a sponsor's exemption into the field. She is a two-time Bahamas National Women's Amateur Champion (2003, 2007). She attended Texas Southern and is currently an assistant coach there and an LPGA Teaching Professional.

Symetra Tour current player and alum factoids
With 144 players set to tee-it-up in the LPGA's first-ever trip to the Bahamas, several Symetra Tour alums are coming off solid finishes at last week's Mobile Bay LPGA Classic including tournament winner, Jennifer Johnson.
Johnson played on the Symetra Tour in 2010 and 2011 where she recorded five top-10 finishes, including a career-best tied for second at the 2011 Pennsylvania Classic. In 2011, she narrowly missed obtaining her LPGA Tour card through the Volvik Race for the Card after finishing 18th on the season-ending standings.
Another Symetra Tour alum who made noise last week was Pornanong Phatlum who finished one-stroke behind Johnson. The Thailand native played in the Symetra Tour in 2009 and 2010 where she notched two tied for second finishes.
Symetra Tour graduate Sydnee Michaels is also scheduled to compete in the Bahamas this week and is coming off a record-setting week in Alabama. The 2011 Symetra Tour grad fired a second-round 10-under-par 62 to break the tournament record by two strokes. On this year's LPGA Tour, Michaels recorded a season-best tied for eighth at the RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup.
The Symetra Tour will return to action June 14-16 at the Decatur-Forsyth Classic Presented by Tate & Lyle and Decatur Parks District Info where Kristie Smith will attempt to defend her title.

General Information for the ICE and CIS:
National Service Center: 1-800-375-5283
Forms Information Line: 1-800-870-3676
Online: http://www.uscis.gov
In March of 2003, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) was transferred
from the Department of Justice to the Department of Homeland Security and divided
into three separate agencies: the Citizenship and Immigration Service (CIS),
the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Customs and Border Protection
CIS: The CIS parallels the benefits element of the former INS.
It is responsible for processing applications for relief such as Adjustment
of Status, Asylum Applications, Citizenship/Naturalization, Fingerprinting,
Green Cards, etc. As with the former INS, it is with this agency that any forms
or fees should be filed or paid.
ICE: The ICE represents the enforcement side of the former
INS, and includes the Office of the Chief Counsel. As with INS, any documents
filed with the Immigration Court must now also be served on the Chief Counsel
of the ICE. The former INS Deportation Unit is also located in the ICE, and
is responsible for setting bonds, transporting, housing, and all other matters
related to the processing of detained aliens.
CBP: The CBP mirrors the Border Patrol and Inspectors Unit
of the former INS as well as Customs Inspectors and other components of the
former Customs Service.
Note: Although the interaction between the Court and these agencies operates the same as it did with INS, the Immigration Court is an entirely separate agency from the aforementioned entities and belongs to a different department. Questions regarding any of the subjects mentioned above should be directed to the appropriate agency and not the Immigration Court, as the Immigration Court will only be able to answer questions regarding pending cases before the Immigration Court.
Attorney Appearances
In order for an attorney to appear as the Attorney of Record in a case, form
EOIR-28 (Notice of Appearance as Attorney of Record) must be filed with the
Immigration Court. A certificate of service, including a copy to the appropriate
Chief Counsel, must accompany the EOIR-28, in conformance with the requirements
of 8 CFR and the Immigration
Court Practice Manual. Until an EOIR-28 is filed, an attorney will not receive
notification from the Court regarding an immigration case.
If an attorney appears on behalf of another practitioner or if an attorney is substituting for another attorney from the same law firm, please refer to the information provided in the Immigration Court Practice Manual.
Detained Aliens and Requests for Bond Redetermination
Bond redetermination requests should be made to the Court in writing. The A
number must be provided in order for a bond redetermination hearing to be scheduled.
As much information as possible should be provided to the Court when filing
a request for bond redetermination (place of custody, nationality, language
requirements, special circumstances, etc.). Requests should be made as far in
advance as possible. Bond redetermination hearings will be scheduled as soon
as possible.
Foreign Language Documents
All documents that are in a language other than English must be accompanied
by both an English language translation and a certificate signed by the translator.
The certificate must include the following statement: "I, (name of translator),
certify that I am competent to translate this document, and that the translation
is true and accurate to the best of my abilities."
The Immigration Court may entertain motions only in cases in which it has jurisdiction.
There is no official form for filing a motion before the Immigration Court.
Motions must comply with all the requirements set forth in 8CFR and the Immigration
Court Practice Manual. Motions must state with particularity the grounds
on which the motion is based. In addition, motions must identify the relief
or remedy sought by the filing party.
When multiple motions are filed, the motions should be accompanied by a cover letter listing the separate motions. In addition, each motion must include a cover page and comply with the deadlines and requirements for filing. Parties are strongly discouraged from filing compound motions which are motions that combine two separate requests.
For more information on specific types of motions, please refer to the Immigration Court Practice Manual.
A transcription of a hearing is made only when an appeal is filed. To review
a Record of Proceeding (ROP), with or without transcript, please refer to the
guidelines below.
Review of Record of Proceedings
Requests to review a record of proceeding (including any audio tape/digital
audio recordings made in the case) must be made in writing. A request form is
available in the Court waiting room. Upon receipt of the Court's request form or a written request the filing party will be informed as to when the Record of Proceedings/requested documents will be available. If the Record of Proceedings has to be retrieved from the Federal Records Center (FRC), the Court will receive the file in approximately one week.

Apple addresses Lion server issues with new technotes
If you run Lion server and have problems with podcast streaming or want to view local volumes on your server, you'll want to read two new technotes on Apple's support site. Spotted by MacNN, they will tell you how to setup https to serve up podcasts and how you can tweak your settings to view a mounted local volume or a shared folder via SMB.
One article (Technote TS4126) addresses podcast streaming and SSL certificates, a problem which arose in OS X server 10.7.2. Unlike earlier versions, this version of Lion server streams podcasts using a secure https connection. In this issue, users visiting your Lion server cannot view podcast thumbnails. When they try to playback content, the thumbnail is missing and only a blank window appears.
To fix this issue, server administrators can either purchase a signed security certificate from an established Certificate Authority or use a self-signed certificate. If the admin chooses the self-signed route, users attempting to view a podcast will be presented with a warning about an untrusted certificate. Once the user accepts this certificate as coming from a trusted source, they can gain access to the podcast content.
The other technote HT5028 has two command-line tweaks for server administrators. The first will let admins view any volumes mounted locally on the server and the second will let them access shared folders over SMB. Once entered, admins will have to reboot the server to make these changes stick.

Delicious - I don't even like custard but this is lovely with a little extra vanilla. Couldn't fit 4 layers of pastry though, I barely fit 2!! I am going to try this with mini vol-au-vents instead of the rolled pastry for Christmas day dessert!! 100% for taste!!

Sep 13, 2013 9:16 PM by Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House says low-income workers on union health plans aren't eligible for the same federal subsidies available to those who buy insurance in the new state health care marketplaces.
The decision is a disappointment for labor unions. It comes shortly after top union officials met for more than an hour today with President Barack Obama, to press their case that subsidies could be extended to the union-sponsored plans.
For months, labor leaders have complained that without the subsidies, the Affordable Care Act would drive up the cost of some union plans. They said that would cause employers to drop coverage, and would jeopardize health coverage for millions of union members.
The White House is citing a Treasury Department letter saying there's no legal way for union members in multi-employer group health plans to receive subsidies.
In a statement, the White House says it will work with unions and encourage them to offer their multi-employer plans "through the marketplace, on an equal footing," and create "new, high-quality affordable options for all Americans."
