Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. Updated 9/22/11 to Add: If you're coming here to sample these delicious Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, you just might like the latest recipe that I've posted for Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Pancakes too.
And Gingerbread- Cinnamon Roll Pancakes too. Enjoy! If you've ever thought you needed a reason to eat pancakes, today is the day: National Pancake Day. Eat a short stack for breakfast, enjoy them for lunch, or make a dinner out a manhole-sized pancake… guilt free… because you're merely celebrating their existence. How do you like your pancakes? » Mini Pumpkin Pie Tarts Against All Grain. With my new cookbook well under way and keeping me very busy, I've lined up some fellow bloggers to do guest posts for me two Saturdays a month.
My autoimmune condition is heavily fueled by stress, so in an effort to stay healthy, these friends will help relieve some of the stress and keep recipes still coming your way! Today we have Beth from Tasty Yummies. Beth's recipes are all gluten-free and mostly vegan. Today, one this first day of Autumn, she is sharing her mini Pumpkin Tarts. Enjoy! Twix Cheesecakes - Gingerbread Bagels. Death By Oreo Cupcakes. They are probably the best Oreo cakes I have ever tried.
A lot of cake's that I have experimented with before are like a vanilla cake with bits of Oreo in them, which didn't really give them enough Oreo flavor. But these were a lot better. I used a dark chocolate fudge cake mix instead of just a regular chocolate cake mix, which went really well with the cookies and gave the cakes just a little more flavor. So, in this recipe there is Oreo's in the cake, in the frosting, and at the bottom is a Oreo surprise. That's right, you put a whole Oreo at the bottom of the cake. Jasons Everlasting Recipes: Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries.
Ingredients:-1 lb large strawberries-8 oz. cream cheese, softened (can use 1/3 less fat)-3-4 tbsp powdered sugar (4 tbsp for a sweeter filling)-1 tsp vanilla extract-graham cracker crumbs Directions:1. Rinse strawberries and cut around the top of the strawberry. Remove the top and clean out with a paring knife, if necessary (some may already be hollow inside). The Infamous Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip Cookies. Now, I have a chocolate chip cookie recipe that I swear by.
I love it, I think it is incredible, and I haven't changed my mind about that. However, as much as it pains me to say it, these chocolate chip cookies by Jacques Torres are absolutely, without a doubt, the best chocolate chip cookies that I have ever made or tasted in my entire life. I guess that's why they call him Mr. Chocolate Chip Lava Cookies. I am so in love with these darn chocolate lava cookies!
What is it about a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie stuffed with decadent, rich, melted chocolate that makes it so irresistible?? Especially when topped with vanilla ice cream. These are one of Kev's favorite homemade treats, and he usually asks me to make them at least once a week. They are so simple to whip up, and such a treat! Snickerdoodle Cupcakes. Cake Batter Truffles. I'm fairly certain that I would love anything that has the words cake batter in it!
For the kid's birthday this year I tested out some cake batter recipes and loved them all. The cake batter truffles where, by far, my favorite. These no bake truffles are easy to make but so hard to stop eating! Cookies and Cream Peanut Butter...Midnight Snack. Need a midnight snack?
Or anytime snack for that matter, my cookies and cream peanut butter might just knock your socks off I was so lucky to have my sister and her family visit earlier this week and I got to have some kitchen time with her beautiful girls. They are just the sweetest things ever.

Tiny Red Carp
Binds when picked up
Use: Teaches you how to summon this companion.
Floats about.
Vocalizations (on-click)
- Tiny Blue Carp
- Tiny Green Carp
- Tiny Red Carp
- Tiny White Carp
The Tiny Red Carp can be fished up from Spinefish Schools. Additionally, it can be caught by casting into the Fish of the Day in Kun-Lai Summit.
Another way to obtain this pet is by fishing from open Sha-Touched water in Dread Wastes, Kun-Lai Summit, The Jade Forest (Widow's Wail only), and Townlong Steppes.
For more information on how to catch these aquatic pets, check out El's guide.
Hello caught yesterday at lake near Nizaou Temple after 215 casts in open water. 850+ skill
Hi ! have a question about that Tiny Red Carp.Iv tryed a couple of spot like the corrupted lake in Kun-Lai summit and the lil lake close to Niuzao Temple.I have a fishing pole who give me 30+fishing+a bubber+75.Everyone say its better to get 725 or so fishing skills.Can i still fish that lil creature with 715 fishing skills ? Im over 5k cast now.Do im right and just have to be patient or there something i can do to get it faster ?
A guildie of mine got this pet for me on a whim on the auction house. It was already level 25, and I have to say that it's one of the most useful pets in my arsenal. It has poison spit, which is amazing against critters, and spiked skin, which I love against moves like stampede, swarm, nut barrage, etc. I've found it ideal when leveling my lower-level pets in Pandaria. Plus, bonus: it heals other aquatic pets on your team! I recommend this pet to anyone who's on a pet leveling streak like me.
Fished the lake in Fields of Niuzao with skill level 780. Caught it in less than 200 casts, came up with a redbelly mandarin. At my fishing level, I was catching a good number of golden carp as well, but that didn't seem to hinder the drop. Of course, probably just insanely lucky.
1700+ in the spinefish pools around Binan Village and still nothing. Gonna go try the Temple lake open waters now. I can't stand looking at sha waters any more lol.
Got it in 8 min!! +150 lure and +5 hat and +20 fishing pole. By the Ox temple.
Also confirm the lake near Nizao temple. Caught in about 60 casts on max level fishing toon with +100 lure, Nat's hat, boots and Kalu'ak fishing pole.
FAR better than the umpteen spinefish pools I did.
This pet has really nice abilites - not sure why no one uses it. Any time you get two hit slots and one heal - that's a decent pet.
I just found this guy on AH for 1000g - Ive never hit buy so fast!
I concur with Nizua Temple, 12 minutes worth of fishing and I had this guy, after fishing sha pools for several days. :D
This guy is a pain. 1400 + casts in the fileds of Nauzu and nothing yet :(
Tiny Red Carp is proving to be quite elusive. Can you catch it at the lake in the Fields of Niuzao even if it's not the fishing daily with the pools of Redbelly? I have no problem putting in the time, but if it's pointless without the daily It'd be nice to know.
Using Master Kalu'ak fishing pole, Batter Fishing Hat, and Heat -Treated Spinning Lures. Fishing is at 787 using all that.
After being quite lucky with the green carp I didnt really know what to expect with this one. I kept fishing @ Field of Niuzao hoping to get either this or the blue one. I think I spent at least 2 days, fishing thousands of fish and not getting any. It was really frustrating at some point. Then,today, I logged in after dinner and there it was, Tiny Red Carp after only 3 casts, and like 10 mins later I got the Sea Turtle. So,what to say: good things come to those who wait! And now to the blue one
Open water fishing at the small lake next to Niuzao Temple worked for me. (Fishing skill was at 727). Took <200 casts in duration of split fishing over two days. Good luck everyone.
I spent two hours at the Fish of the Day in Kun-Lai Summit with no luck at all...decided to try over at the lake near Temple of Niuzao and got the tiny red carp on my first cast....now my collection is complete!!!
Caught this bugger tonight in the Townlong Steppes (35.5, 53.8). I had fished there for several hours on different nights, and tonight for only 5 minutes. I caught it with a Golden Carp, the Fishing Guide posted suggested this shouldn't happen and should have been with the open water fish loots only, nevertheless it did drop with a Golden Carp catch (my fishing skill at the time of catch was 788). It never materialized in Southern Kun-Lai where I cast hundreds to thousands of times.
Everyone wants these carps, none use them in pet battles....
Took 593 casts before I was able to pull the Tiny Red Carp up in the little lake located at 35.7 - 53.3 in the Fields of Niuzao in Townlong Steppes.
All casts in open water (not in pools) with skill 790.
This was the last in the carp lineup I need, so I'm pretty stoked right now :)
Caught this little guy today from the lake in open water near Niauzo Temple in Townlong Steppes.
367 Casts over a period of several days.
Fishing skill of 780: Kalu'ak fishing pole and a Heat-Treated Spinning Lure.
So glad my Tiny Carp family is now complete! Good luck to you Fishermen/Women on catching yours!
Over 1200 casts in Kun Lai Summit in Sha-Touched pools got nothing, took Equinox tip and moved to Townlong at the little lake by the Temple (35, 52). With in 20 minutes of fishing in open water I got the Tiny Red Carp.
Thanks, Equinox

Hi Gents & Ladies,
This weekend I managed to seal a deal for a 2005 Focus Titanium Diesel 1.8TDci, class and love the ride.
Now being a Novice on this car and managed to buy the Haynes book to start with I need to understand a few things on the car:
1) Is this model the mk 2 or mk 2.5?
2) I have a problem on the wing mirrors as they seem offset and can't incline them inwards as the mirror motor doesn't go that far so thought you guys might have a guide to re-allign the wing mirrors?
3) On one of the mirrors I have a small lense mirror mounted on, and just wondering if you know a safe way to take it off without breaking the wing mirror?
4) Been told the car has the optional cruise control but I can't find it in the car? any help on that....
Thank you in advance and appreciate any help you could offer.

The Cucoloris is used to create shadow patterns on backgrounds or subjects. A flatly lit wall can be broken up into interesting pools of light and shadow. Lighting directors frequently use them to simulate sunlight filtering through trees.
The Cello "cookie" projects a more subtle pattern. The pattern itself depends on the distance of the light source and the distance to the background.

The Colorado Mammoth and Edmonton Rush entered Saturday night's game at Rexall Place as the two hottest teams in the National Lacrosse League. The Rush had won five straight, the Mammoth three of four. Colorado goalie Tye Belanger stoned his opponent all evening, recording 48 saves in the 9-7 victory.
"The defense is keeping the shots to the outside – they're packing it in," said the 22-year-old, who improved to 4-2 this season. "They're giving me easy saves."
Hamley's squad was minus-20 in shots-on-goal. But the Rush only mustered three even-strength tallies. Three of the other four were on the power-play, one was short-handed.
"There's nothing left to say; the kid's just been outstanding," said Hamley of his netminder. "He's given everybody else confidence. He's given the coaches confidence. He's given the defense confidence. In turn, it's helping our offense be a little more patient and pick their times…"
Casey Powell led the Mammoth with two goals. Seven others had a goal apiece.
The game wasn't decided until the final seconds. Trailing 8-7 with an extra attacker on the floor, Rush forward Ryan Ward hit the post. Mammoth forward John Grant Jr. then scored the empty-netter with 8.9 seconds remaining.
Colorado has now won four of five, and is peaking at the right time. During the current streak, the defense is allowing just 9.4 goals per game. Belanger lowered his goals-against-average to 9.48, which would lead the league if he had logged enough minutes to qualify.
Rookie sensation Mark Matthews lit up the Mammoth for five goals and one assist in the first meeting of the year. On Saturday, the University of Denver alumnus managed just one goal and two helpers.
Next Saturday, the Mammoth hosts the Minnesota Swarm at 7pm MT on HealthONE Field at Pepsi Center on Fan Appreciation Night. A postgame concert featuring The Epilogues and My Body Sings Electric will be held on the field after the game. Tickets are on sale now at the Pepsi Center Box Office, all Colorado Dick's Sporting Goods retail Kiosks, online at TicketHorse.com or by calling 303.53.HORSE.

Hailey Owens' story is every parents nightmare. While walking home from school on Feb. 18, Hailey was abducted by a 45-year-old elementary school athletic coach.
Hailey Owens was innocently walking home from school on Tuesday Feb 18. when Craig Wood pulled up next to her and asked her for directions. Nearby neighbors witnessed Craig jump out of his truck and force Hailey inside before pulling away. Sadly, it was the last time anyone saw little Hailey alive. Authorities arrested Craig at his home just over three hours after the incident occurred, but unfortunately it was not fast enough to save Hailey's life.
Craig Wood Charged With Murder Of Hailey Owens
Hailey Owens, 10, was abducted in her own neighborhood while walking home from school in broad daylight on Feb. 18 by elementary school athletic coach, Craig Wood. Multiple witnesses reported seeing Craig's gold Ford Ranger circle Hailey before stopping the vehicle next to her, jumping out, and dragging her inside. One neighbor, Carlos Edwards, told a local news reporter that he and his wife witnessed the pick-up truck drive up and down the block multiple times before finally approaching Hailey. According to Daily Mail's report, When Carlos saw the driver get out and grab Hailey, he tried chasing after the truck to get a license plate number while his wife called 911.
Authorities matched the plate to Craig's vehicle and arrested him as he arrived at his home just three hours later. During an immediate search of the home, police reported smelling bleach in the basement. Hailey's body was later found in a storage bin inside the home where she had suffered a gunshot to the head, according to CNN.
Elementary School Employee Turned Murderer
The most terrifying part of this story is that Craig — now charged with first degree murder, armed criminal action, and child kidnapping — worked in the school system for over a decade. The Daily Mail reports that he was first employed in the Springfield Public Schools system in 1998 as a paraprofessional for in-school suspension.
Superintendent Norm Ridder told the media in a statement that Craig's employment would be "suspended until this matter is resolved."

What happens to a person's brain when all of a sudden they want to kill an innocent little girl? Does something come over you and you just have to do such a horrific act. What the hell happens to people to act that way. This little girl will never get to experience life as she should have. I could kill him myself.

Official Rock Band 3 Thread
http://www.engadget.co m/2010/06/1...-keyboard/
It's about freakin time.
We've been wondering how a keyboard would look in the Rock Band universe: a row of colored buttons would make it hardly different than the guitar peripheral, while a real keyboard would... be just as hard to play as a real keyboard. Well, it looks like someone smarter than us has tackled the problem, implementing a Hannah Montana-style "Best of Both Worlds" solution. The keyboard spans two octaves of for-serious white and blacks, but there's a row of colored labels above those keys. How narrowly you're required to hit the "real" key corresponding to the note in the song is based on what difficulty level you choose -- on the easier levels you just have to smash into the correctly colored neighborhood. Oh, and for those hoping to play this keytar-style? the keyboard is designed to work on a lap or strapped over a shoulder. Check out the video below the fold to see it in action.
It's about freakin time.

In a damp,cold cell beneath the grated ceiling of Noxus's arena a Minotaur sat arms folded with wrist and ankles bound in gleaming enchanted steel. "Winter is coming to Noxus" the Minotaur thought. Rising his head slowly opening recent wounds at his neck, "painful, but just a splinter of what my heart has suffered." Looking out the small barred window at the top of the wall he looked at the dieing light in the sky, his thoughts trailing back to his tribe.Distant hazy memory filled in, it would almost be time for fireside celebration of successful storage for the coming winter. Everyone in the Tribe would sing dance and love under the stars. A pale moon was in the sky and embers jostled up and down from the dancing of the Minotaurs and the pounding of feet that echoed across the Great Barrier. It would be chilly but the consumption of spirits would remedy that.Setting down looking into the fire he glanced up at his wife was exiting his hut with the younglings in tow.Firelight gleamed from her ruby red eyes passion was in them and they where drunk of the fullness of life. Setting the younglings down by her husband she quickly took to his side embracing as an icy chill bellowed flames high into the night sky. "She wants to become a warrior like you" she whispered in their caress "Like me?" He said chuckling silently. Looking over he saw her gazing into the fire and to the elder who had gathered the attention of all listeners with ancient tales and legends from the old wars, but most importantly the Minotaurs in them. The Celebration would continue long into the dawning of the next day. The sun bursting over Crested peaks, rays settling over a smoldering wood.The cold almost masking the burning of countless body's. Barking orders the only thing interrupting the gusting of the wind..."Alistar! Alistar!! come on your last bout is today"! Breaking away from the haunting memories Alistar looks down even from sitting at the small child. "Again today?" "Ayelia I'm too tired I just cant take anymore." "Can't take anymore?" "Nonono it was you who taught me to stand up to those bullies to get up after being hit down." "You can't give up Alister you just can't." "Your the only friend I have since I was sold and if you cant fight they...they will kill you!" Tears began to swim down the young child's face. Alistar reached slowly with his large finger wiping her cheek,"don't cry small one it is the nature of all things to end" he said as she wrapped both arms around his finger. "But my end is not here not now" he said standing bleeding from his recent battle wounds; painful but hes felt worse before. Six Years Ago Above the dank smokey streets of Noxus,carved from the very stone of the mountain is the Grand Citadel. Its ramparts gleaming in the pale morning sky. The Prince was lively this morning today he would take his rightful place beside his father, ascending to second in command of the city-State. He sat in his study pouring over scout reports and looking across charts where battle lines are drawn. Looking at his opposition he was forming in his head the look of his father when he brought back the Demaican heads of state on pikes of course. He was so preoccupied with his maps that he did not hear someone enter the room. A sharp whistle of wind was heard and then between his forefinger and his thumb was a dagger. "Little Prince's shouldn't play general" Katirnia said. Unflinching he picked it out of the map and threw it back; she deftly caught it."Not now Katirnia you of all people should know that today is when you refer to me as sir. I've no time for your games and tricks so what is it you want?" " Simmer down their prince no tricks not today at least, I was sent by your father he wishes for you to see him before the ceremony."Tell my father I will see him shortly I..." "its and order Prince". With that Katrina quickly turned to leave. "Or should I say sir" she said before laughing walking out of his chambers.Rising from his desk he approached a window overlooking the city his reflection faint in the glazed surface.Checking his uniform he turned and started out of his chambers. Secretly he always feared his father with his seemingly endless life span. More then a few of his personal friends have asked about the reclusive leader. As for the Prince he did not know much himself.As he neared his fathers personal quarters two Elite Guardsmen kept vigil their green robes adored with arcane runes that oscillated with a faint hum. Still as statues they watched faces masked by helms of darkness. "These were no mere soldiers",the Prince thought. They were the Faceless Noxian Elite guard. Three pairs of glowing red eyes stared looking distantly across the chamber not seeming to focus on the Prince at all. He knew better though, as he neared the entrance one of the two stepped in front and spoke in a dust cracked voice "Halt what is your purpose here?" "I was told to meet my father in person." The eyes unflinching stared into his own their piercing gaze seeing into his very soul. "Proceed" it proclaimed and stepped aside. Anxiety fading the Prince continued. In the normal army of Noxus it is considered both a great honor and condemnation to become one of the faceless. For in becoming one you lose your own identity, token funerals are even common.Not once has one ever disobeyed an order even when asked to go on suicide Missions. Some speculate mind control or magic is used to create them. "Regardless they represent the fist of the Noxian war-machine and soon" the Prince thought. "Soon I would control them all!" Pushing the glided ebony doors open he entered. The room was dark with curious oddities adorning the far side of the wall. Standing at the entrance the Prince looked towards the windows a tall figure stood in front eclipsing the filtered light pouring forth. "Yes father?" He asked. "Sit down my son" Darkwill said, his voice was gravely but held genuine love. Kerian made his way to the other side of the room sitting in one of the blood red lounge chairs. Even facing his father's back his sense of authority was almost palpable. He was dressed in his formal attire, golden vambraces engraved in the form of a raven adored his wrists. Flowing green robes, glided elegantly went to just above his feet. Slowly he turned to face his son. His face looked young but his eyes were deep in their sockets set with great horrors and joy. A long scar ran across his left eye. A deep shade of red his eyes seemed to glow in the dim light from the window. "My son what is it you think that measures a man." The question caught Kerian off guard as he stumbled over his answer. "The honor he brings to his country" Kerian finally said proudly. Chuckling lightly "reminds me of the Du Couteau children." Suppressing his agitation Kerian tried to get to the point of the conversation. "What did you wish of me father?" he said. "What do I wish hmph. I wish you could know what the true measure of a man is my son, but sadly the horrors of war have torn it from your mind." upon finishing he sounded saddened. "The real measure of a mans worth is not in the battles he wins nor the honor he brings to his family and country. No the true worth of a man is how he serves the world and its people not just the ones he cares about. I am old beyond remembering but this war has wearied me and our people my son." "And it is about to come to an end." Kerian was speechless,all his life the Demacian's were hated feared and above all killed. The prospect of peace was never in his darkest nightmares. Shocked Kerian barely got out the words "H..How?" "A New organization calling itself the League of Legends was formed from the best and brightest magi in all of Runeterra." Darkwill said briskly. "Did they force you father if so we can...." Kerian began but was quickly silenced by his father. "No I've already agreed to its formation and its backing. If King Jarvan III has any sense he will soon do the same. The bloodshed between our nations will end." "Peace..." Kerian said dryly. "Who else knows?" "Only my generals at the moment know of the treaty." "So am I counted in that number father?" Kerian said furiously. "Yes son you are." Darkwill said. "You took all of it away from me. I was going to lead our people in this war. I would have crushed their forces. I...I...I would have made you proud of me father!" Kerian said emotionally distraught. He began towards the door. But upon standing up he was embraced by his father. " I already am son." Darkwill said calmly. Pushing away from the embrace "You ruined my dreams father, all of my hopes." His face red with anger he turned. "Commander Set Halt!" Darkwill ordered. Instinctively Kerian stopped in his tracks. "About face!" blared General Darkwill. Kerian no longer saw his father. "You are a power hungry warmongering tyrant. said Darkwill placing his hand gently on his sons cheek. "And that is my fault." Whipping his hand away Darkwill quickly became serious again. " Commander you will report to Commander Swain for your mission you are not to report to the ceremony tonight." At this Kerian flinched but said nothing. "He will instruct you on a expedition to the barrier lands to rid it of a Minotaur pest. You will lead this expedition commander." Are my orders clear?" Darkwill said authoritatively. "Crystal Sir." Kerian said grimacing. "Dismissed" said Darkwill. Quickly exiting his fathers room Kerian went back to his room a different man. Racing back to his room he quickly entered slamming his chamber door shut, breaking the hinges in the process. Entering his study the very sight of his battle maps and strategy infuriated him further. "How could he be such a coward." thought Kerian pacing. "HOW COULD HE." he yelled grasping his writing chair and flinging it hard against the wall impacting a bookcase. Shards of wood flew in all directions, books fell and pages fluttered across the air. Breathing heavily Kerian remembered his conditioning . Personal feelings aside he was a solider at heart his feelings come secondary. Remembering his orders he quickly changed into his battle raiment. Setting aside his general uniform a great sadness welled up inside him. He had come so far only to be set back. Leaving his room in ruins he left the Citadel and left his dreams there too. Swain sat in the middle of a large group of people he was assigning each a section to clear from the tribal camp. The entire group was just inside the city's primary walls about to set out. "The 5th Legion will approach from the flank cutting off their most likely escape route. I will have legions Two and three with me as we sweep the village." Kerian walked in as he finished his sentence. All men including Swain stood attention with him leaning on his cane. "At ease." Kerian said distastefully. "Sorry for the intrusion sir but you caught me at a disadvantage." Swain said carefully. "Think nothing of it Commander it was a recent change." "A change?" Swain said. "Curious." At this a ebony bird flew across the top of the group its talons raised it graciously perched itself on Swains shoulder. Ignoring the bird Kerian continued. "I have been reassigned to lead this mission." Kerian said loud enough to be heard by the entire group. A small clamor aroused from the troops as many of them thought Commander Swain to be strange. Swain had risen greatly in a very short time through the ranks of the military. His record showed him to be brilliant in combat tactics. Even Kerian himself considered making him his tactical officer when he became general. "But as for the plan that is still you Swain." I expect to be briefed soon after this planning is finished. "Yes General" Swain said. Kerian quickly corrected him "Lieutenant Commander." "Sir?" Swain asked smugly. "Not general" Kerian said callously. "Oh forgive me Commander my mistake. Swain finished.

TheStreet) --

As part of the deal, Blackstone will be buying newly issued Cheniere senior subordinated paid-in-kind units. Debt financing for the liquefaction project should be completed by the end of the first quarter. Construction is expected to begin in the first half of 2012.

BP's (BP) federal trial over the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill has been delayed for a week to allow more time for settlement talks.

10 tips to ensure a healthier 2013
By Rhonda Alexander For Sun-Times Media
Winter fitness takes a little more planning and motivation to stay warm. | File photo
Have you made your New Year's resolution to live a more healthful lifestyle? We asked experts at the Will County Health Department to give us their top 10 tips that lead to a healthier lifestyle. Here's what they told us.
1. Stop smoking.
"No question … it's one of the few things that has nothing good attached to it," said John Kahler, chief medical officer of the Will County Community Health Center.
Michelle Marek, program coordinator for Will County Health Department Tobacco Control and Prevention Program reiterated — there's nothing good about smoking.
"Within 20 minutes of smoking your last cigarette, the body begins to go through a series of changes … good changes such as, lowering of blood pressure and pulse rate in addition to an improvement in your nerve endings and taste buds. Carbon monoxide levels return to normal within the next 12 hours and breathing becomes easier," Marek said.
2. Increase your exercise.
"That doesn't necessarily mean going to the gym. It can be as simple as a little bit of walking — use stairs instead of the elevator to go up one flight. Get up out of your seat and walk to talk to someone instead of sending them an email — these are very simple things that will get you up and moving," Kahler said.
3. Pay attention to your weight.
"Figure out what a healthy weight really is … use not only the BMI (Body Mass Index) [a] universally recognized standard for healthy weight in relation to height, use the mirror — it's a good starting point to attempt to get your weight to some area of healthy," Kahler explained.
4. Nutrition.
Cut down your fried foods and red meat, increase vegetables and fruit as well as drink more water. Avoid caffeine and sugar.
5. Consume less alcohol.
"Nobody says you can't have any alcoholic drinks," Kahler said.
He believes that everything in moderation is key.
6. Arm yourself with knowledge.
Kahler said the best thing a person can do is to make himself aware of the appropriate screening tests needed for preventative illness according to their age.
7. Pay attention to blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose control [as it relates to diabetes].
8. Foster deeper levels of intimacy in your close relationships.
Kahler recommended getting in contact with an old friend.
"Actually call someone up — not texting or using Facebook — to connect," he said. Additionally, Joseph Troiani, Ph.D., director of behavioral health programs for Will County Health Department recommended starting during the holidays because this is usually a time to reconnect with family, friends and loved ones.
9. Have a positive attitude.
Having a positive attitude will help you start the New Year off right.
"Your attitude drives everything that happens in your life," Troiani said.
10. Make lists.
"As you make decisions to make changes in your life, it's a good idea to write stuff down and/or journal," Troiani said.
Kahler went a step further to suggest using a SMART (S-specific, M-measureable, A-achievable, R-realistic, T-timely) goal list to help you make and reach your goals.
Troiani said that the list might vary depending on the person and their life experiences. While that is true, this list can serve as a great gauge to incorporate more healthful practices into your lifestyle to finally get to that new you this New Year without further delay.

There has never been a greater time to buy a smartphone I'd wager. From Nokia to Samsung to Apple and even (surprisingly) LG– there is lot to love. When it comes to iconic smartphone leaders though, we still often hear the names Samsung and Apple come up.
This begs the question, which flagship device reigns supreme at the moment: The Samsung Galaxy S3 or the Apple iPhone 5? Honestly, they both have their positives and negatives. This article is less about declaring a winner and more about just pointing out the overall hardware differences.
Let's jump in and take a look:
When it comes to processing power, there are two different versions of the Galaxy S3. The international has a quad-core, the US version has a dual-core. As for the iPhone? It is a dual-core device in all markets.
So how much difference does all that make? Less then you would think. With the US version of the S3, you get more RAM to make up for less cores. When comparing either version of the S3 to the iPhone 5, there isn't a huge noticeable difference. Both swipe in and out of apps with relative ease. Both handle just about everything you throw at it.
As for battery life? Both perform about the same, though the iPhone 5 is said to last slightly longer.
As for other aspects like weight, the S3 is slightly heavier at 133g versus 116g for the iPhone 5, but you probably won't feel the difference all that much. That said, the S3 has a much larger 4.8-inch screen.
Overall, the iPhone 5 does benchmark higher than the S3. That said, benchmarks don't mean that much when it comes to everyday performance. Removing factors like OS preference, weight and size preference: these two phones both are rock solid. You won't have to worry about the phone not handling apps or glitching. You won't find either to be slow.
This probably plays a lot into preference as well. The iPhone 5 has a glass and aluminum design that is admittedly quite attractive. Still, the Galaxy S3′s plastic body still manages a very premium look. The 4.8-inch screen on the front also adds to the appeal in design.
In many ways it is hard to directly compare the iPhone 5 and Galaxy S3 because their ecosystems differ so much. They have different looks, different levels of customization, etc.
To put it simply, figure out what OS matches your tastes.
Reasons for iOS: Most users that go with iOS laud it with praise for being simple, easy to use and highly secure. Apple fans say it just works, without all the extra effort. Apple's AppStore is also known for having more apps, particularly paid apps.
Reasons for Android: Android users like that the OS is customizable on just about every level and that it has more free apps. Additionally you aren't locked down to just one app store.
While this varies based on carriers and where you are in the world, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is generally a little bit cheaper than the iPhone 5. Without any special deals going on, Verizon currently prices both handsets for $199 with two year contract. That said, the S3 often goes for less during special promotions.
When it comes to buying without contract, unlocked? You can find the S3 for cheaper as well.
When it comes to "versus" articles, there is probably nothing more dissatisfying for a reader than to hear a draw. I know that fans of one phone or the other won't probably like to hear this– but it is really hard to say one is better than the other.
If you like the openess of Android, the S3 wins.
If you want the neat tidy Apple experience and don't mind being a bit locked down, you get an iPhone 5.
There are other considerations to factor in as well– such as opinion regarding the company. Some people don't like Apple, they feel that the company is unfair and overpiced. Some also feel the same about Samsung, and feels that it copies companies like Apple and profits off of it.
Instead of us declaring a winner, we want to leave this to our readers. We invite you to comment below with which phone you think is better, and why.
Please try and be respectful of others opinions. Honestly, both phones are great in their own ways.
I have a S3 and recently downloaded updates. Since then my battery will not fully charge past 94%. Does anyone know how to fix this?
wow i still cant choose i love the iphone 5 design i love the ITUNES AND APP STORE retina display etc… but i also really really love the galaxy S3′s features sure its big google play has become more advanced and the thought that i can only choose 1 is a nightmare… i need someone to get me one pro that can make me choose
Jailbroken iPhone 5 > Rooted S3
Most of you never used to iPhone 5. I see most of you have 4′s and not a 5.
Neither wins Samsung make cheap plastic toys,with horrible displays,Apple is overpriced stale ios,and need to get with the times,i will take my HTC Droid DNA anyday.
I personally own the iphone 5 and love it. It has a smooth operating system, which I find is faster and not as sketchy as the S3. I also find that I like the camera much more, and it is not near as grainy looking as the galaxy's camera. And for a person that likes to text (I sure do), I also like the iphone 5′s keyboard more because I can type with few mistakes. Overall, I am an iphone fan through and through.
Iphone5 says popular just Americans, but samsung galaxy s3 says world,its work.
Which one is better? Easy to answer! The galaxy s3! Why? Well when I transfer movies to a phone do I want them to convert them in mp4? Noop do I have time to put them in iTunes? Noop
Got very very serious issue with battery life of S3 . Even after charging it to the max, hardly I can watch couple of video songs and attend 3 to 4 phone calls . Even after installing all the battery saving options its one n the same. When it come to battery life definitely Iphone wins.
This sounds like Apple versus Microsoft all over again. And we know how that turned out.
I have always had an iPhone since it first came out, till now, I was divided between the s3 and the iPhone 5, I did a lot of research and I got the s3, well am not sorry, I love my s3 I play with it like I never did with my iPhone 4S, still have all my music transfer to my s3 and I love the big screen to search the net when am out. I don't think I'll go back iPhone again, am even thinking on changing my iPad, that's how much I like this s3. You can do a lot with it, and to be honest a was a bit bored of the same as apple hasn't change that much.
Wow! Samsung must pay lots of money to people writting comments! Gs3 is just a phone that runs on Google software. The minute Google comes out with their own phone you won't have the same functionality. Also one day it's $199 the other day $99. This is not good marketing and what's the true market value? I sold my iphone 4 for 299 2 years later! I bet you 2 years from now GS3 will be given for free because Google X would only have top features. All I can see Samsung doing is paying settlements to Apple and then going after Google for not providing updates to Samsung products. Without Android this device is useless. Also the security on Android marketplace is a joke. I wouldn't trust my business emails to an Androod phone just yet. Google is a great company that can compete with Apple but Jobs did an excellent job in locking the Apple ecosystem from potential threats. Gs3 can become easily a zombie sending junk mail google it and you'll see.
your stupid
Also, while the Android does have many more free apps than the App Store on iPhone, how many of them are quality apps? My Dad's old S1 got malware because he downloaded a few free apps.
I think they are both equally as great as each other, although I am leaning towards the S3 for functionality and everything else except the Google Play Store. Give me Infinity Blade and other games like Real Racing 3 that will actually benefit the Quad Core processor and I'll never look back at Apple as the App Store is the only reason I have an iPhone over a Galaxy or HTC phone. I do like how my iPhone 4S works with my computer and iPod Touch though.
Just bought S111. Was considering i5 because of problems with S11. Glad I Istayed with S111. All bugs worked out. Swipe text is awesome
I've owned an iPhone 2, 3, 3Gs and 4s, now i have an iPhone 5. After all these years I still don't see the point in swiching to Android. The only complaint I've ever had with Apple smartphones is battery life, especially with the 4s and that's actually the reason why I eventually got a 5. Other than that, perfect for me.
What I enjoy the most about Apple products is the way they operate so seamlessly together and since I also use an iMac a Macbook Pro and an iPad I appreciate such features as iCloud, iCloud tabs, etc. Which are great to use on a day to day basis, I can't even imagine fitting an Android (or any other) device in my system.
Maybe if I used my smartphone as a standalone device I would consider Android, but right now, no can do.
Iphone wins in one very important category – texting. The accuracy on the S3/Android keyboard sucks and that's why I returned it for the iPhone. I tried downloading several different SMS/texting interfaces in an ill-fated attempt to find one that works without me having to go back and retype every other word while texting. None worked as well as the iPhone's keyboard. Both phones are very capable, the iPhone interface is still more refined.
you obviously didnt google it :L on the app store you will find no good keyboards, if you google it, you'll get hundreds of accurate keyboards, i even run the iphone key board on my phone, took some searching but i got it.
You should try the Windows Phone keyboard. My favorite of all. I've tried the 4s keyboard and the Android one. None hold a candle.
S3 wins bcoz of the openess and the flexibility of markets. it also has much more free apps than Apple store
siri, camera and sensitivity are all that make me crazy in iphone i don't have to share my music with friends i don't have to put out battery for memory. s3 has function that we don't need So, iphone is good for we teenage people and s3 is better for our fathers
Well I for one like free music and free apps :D and i dont like paying hundreds to repair an iphone swollen battery, instead, if an android battery swells, i can pay 10 bucks online and just pop it in myself. And lets not forget that exapndable memory is a huge factor, i like to watch movies on the go, so i can bring a few SD cards along, instead of only being able to pack a few onto an iphone and change out when i get home. My sister got the Iphone 5 and returned it when i got the SIII. At first she was saying how its not as good, but once i showed her all this, she wanted one too
the s3 wins i dont want to be on lock down i want to be able to get the apps i want from anywhere i want
iPhone all the way I have 4s and they are amazing but the iPhone wins for me easy to use and faster Internet (3G) and the iPhone has better style
iphone is waste and s3 is best
My deciding factor comes down to call quality (background noise). The last two phones I've had, EVERYONE complains that they can't hear me but can hear anything and everything going on in the background. I use my phone to answer forwarded calls from my job, so this is frustrating. So I'd like comparison from actual IPhone 5′s and the SGIII users.
My wife has a G3 that she loves. I have the iphone 5 which I an more than happy with. It's a great phone. I like my wife's phone but I'm so used to my phone and the way it works that its hard to use her g3. I believe ultimately the choice lies in what is easier for the person using the phone. I don't love apple and I hate the iTunes Store. But the phones are solid. My iphone 4 was completely submerged in water twice and it work for a year after that. My wife has sent her phone back to AT&T three times because it keeps dieing or clutching out in some form or another. Before I bought an iphone I ones a Samsung. It was ok but mostly felt like a cheap phone. I moved to apple and couldn't be happier. Based on my wife's experiences and my own I say buy apple. It's just better. Customization means nothing compared to basic functionity. . One more thing a bigger screen in not nessicarly a better one. The. Retina display hands down beats the g3 screen. It is really no contest.
I have an Iphone and my roomie has a Galaxy. On the Galaxy, the removable battery comes in handy when the system stops working and you need to reset everything so you can perform basic functions. I almost never have a problem operating the iphone but see the frustration of the Galaxy running out of battery power and problems just using the touchscreen. I am a fan of Apple computers for the same reason. They work while my PC is glitchy as heck. The plastic body feels cheap to me but that barely comes into play.
i mostly use my phone to text and listen to music at work: can anyone tell me which of the i5 or s3 has better/louder/reliable speakers?? also if anyone used to have an iphone and has switched, which you thought easier and faster?
Go for S3 or better yet, try Samsung galaxy note 2. I have iPhone 4s and it is hard to transfer music file to it since you need iTunes, while in S3 or note 2, you can have 2 options in doing so, connect directly to any pc via cable and copy and paste the songs or use a micro sd and save your songs in it and insert it to the s3 or note 2. :)
i dont know…am still thinking of which one to get
Iphone 5 wins and this is why. The primary function of the phone is to communicate verbally. And the iphone does this with more ease. The clarity of the conversation is leap years ahead of the Samsung. The samsung is more clumsier in this department. I love both phones and carried two of them for a long time. I just couldn't decide because they were both great. The larger screen is very important for me. But thats all the samsung had over the iphone 5.The free apps goes both ways. The app store leans slightly towards apple, not a biggy. The typing accuracy is much better on the iphone 5 and this is important. The usability due to size is much better on the iphone 5. The battery goes both ways.If your very busy the last thing you need is over custimisation. I just dont have the time for that. So i don't give samsung anything for that. Life is way too fast and complicated and busy, for someone to tweak the experience to the infinite degree. I don't lean towards apple and Iam not an apple fan. Its simply performs as a phone much more better. Removable battery, storage ..seriously who cares? More free apps , who cares? they both carry enough free apps.
that is the poorest attempt of promoting apple as a blatant fanboy, whilst trying to hide that you're not a fan boy… "i carried two for a long time"..yeh sure we all do that! "The app store leans slightly towards apple" app store for apple is certainly not as good as the android.. removable battery, storage?? who cares? umm most people who want to be able to hold lots of readily available charge, and photos and music!!! My source – I work in a phone shop, and enjoy very much converting people from ip to s3. all i have to do is go into google apps, and filter reviews by users of identical handset and they're blown away! Of course they're never that happy when they realise the music they purchased through itunes is locked to their apple products.. apple do have nice phones, but their days of reign have been over ever since they refused to properly update their iphone 4. Iphone 4 was a sure-fire market winner, 4s?? I'm sure the s stands for "same"… or maybe siri ha what a joke.
And seriously dude, if you want to know what the best handset is, look above your post…. let's face it, the fanboys are dying out so quick that the last few remaining, such as yourself, are having to disguise themselves as otherwise ;)
I have the GSIII and my wife has the iPhone 5. When we are sitting next to each other and geeking out, she watches me do something and asks, "How can I do that." Most of the time she gets frustrated with all the process of accomplishing some tasks. They are both great phones and each person is going to have their own, "favorite." Unless you have used both opinions do not matter. That is my opinion. ; P
But am complicated in using s3 , pls text me some applications
S3 is the best; I am now enjoyMing it.
After having the iphone 4s for a year and a half it def wins over the galaxybi recently got. The keyboard sucks and apps on iphone are much better
You do know you can download hundreds of really good keyboards for android, right? not one just like iphone. In fact, you can get the iphone keyboard on your androoid phone.
"As for battery life? Both perform about the same, though the iPhone 5 is said to last slightly longer." Exactly who has said this? In a side by side web browsing test the S3 lasted 359 minutes the i5 lasted 200. Every user review I've read mirrors those test results. In reality the iPhone's battery life sucks.
its obvious the S3 wins… bigger screen, multitasking (like watching vids while surfing the web) removeable battery and sd card, relatively cheap, more free apps, not tied to one app store. some people argue "oh samsung took everything from iphone and is just trying to keep up." maybe thats true. but samsung took some things from iphone and made them better than they were before. i use an S3 and its amazing. i recommend it to everyone!
iPhone 5 all day MOTHERFUCKERS!!!
Samsung Galaxy S III wins !!
I'm an 'droid girl who loves to personalize my phone in all directions to work with my independent business & techno-geek personality "needs" vs my simpleton husband who has an iPhone 4 and that fulfills his business needs and is very easy for him to handle! It's just depending on what your needs are will answer which one works best for you.
I like S3 because it has NFC enabled and I can use it to pay at shops instead of Credit cards, but look-wise Iphone 5 is better.
The iPhone 4 is better than the S3 so the iPhone 5 is by far the best. I do have to congratulate google. Seven years of hard work is finally starting to pay off, your nearly a competitor of apple. And as for Samsung your well almost there, if only you came up with technology that doesn't copy apple. You could always change the direction of the company. Smart phones might not be for everyone.
Sorry you chose to drink the apple kool aid. But s3 has twice the ram expandable memory and more free apps. And it has gorilla glass 2.0. What does the iphone have? Not a damn thing on samsung lol
If only you researched more of Apple's history…you would understand that 95% of Job's ideas and technology were stolen from other people or other companies. This is what makes it so ironic when Jobs would complain that others were "copying" him…given that most of his products were based on other's ideas or technology. Read up rather than showing your ignorance.
Samsung supplies several parts that go into each iPhone. These Samsung parts actually comprise 26% of the iPhone's components. So tell me again who is copying who?
The S3 is a clear winner because of the bigger screen. I'm also allergic to all kinds of metals including aluminum. Plastic and plexaglass works great for me.
my supported to Sgs3 better .
While I have an iPod touch and enjoy the way it works I still say my S III wins hands down. First it has abilities that the iPhone doesn't have and some abilities it had before. Apple still wants to stick with charging a hundred dollars to have more memory where the S III is a quick simple process with an inexpensive SD card. I think Apple will do well but I think some people will leave them as more storage space becomes needed.
I had all the galaxy s phones from the galaxy s, galaxy s2 and now I have the S3 and galaxy note 19.q tablet. Samsung.rules
I have galaxy 3 and girlfriend has I phone 5 , galaxy is better by miles in every way , so much so my girlfriend wants me to swap her , I said no way.
Ive had an iphone 4 and got into some credit issues with atnt and dredid having to go to a droid phone. Got a galaxy s 3. Through t mobile and I cant belive all the stuff I can do with this phone and could not be happier. I love my gs3. Apple fan no more.
S3 wins.. I'm using it since it came out and it works really great.. iphone sucks!
Well i live in 3rd world country that mean we have limited tecnology wich Apple company don't support u have to pay to register on z app store wich mean u can't get even z free apps it's not fare & there r alot of differnce in ios version in apps of iphone 3-4-5 etc and it makes u boring to update with every version every month so Hell ye i VOTE FOR GALAXY SIII with all it's apps & the beuty of zat phone
They're both very nice devices. I like my S3 but like the iphone. 5′s fit & finish. Still, the S3′s extra features & price put it ahead of the iphone 5. Hard to have a phone with no upgradeable memory option or interchangeable battery. If the 5 had those it would be very hard to resist buying.
The S voice does not come close to Siri.
I have a S3 device and I agree you, but there is so much more to sgs3 than s voice.
Plus google now makes up for s voice
If you're using S voice instead of google now…
then download one of hundreds free companion apps
I have S3 my son has IPhone 5 so I had a chance to swap for 2 weeks our handsets. I found I phone 5 just to small being use to bigger screen on s3.Also free apps on Android are a better deal. Design f
S3 is the phone I'm using now , I just can say it's amazing the best phone I've ever used , one more thing is that I dashed my previous 4s to my driver. Thank u samsung will be waiting the s4 in april as promised.
With the openess of, a variety of free apps and the wide screen s3 has i pr efer it to iphone5. I have used both phones both felt locked down and resteicted while using the iphone dough it mighth its more handy and portable
in what possible way is an Android locked down? You can even swap roms out its great
I vote for the s3 I had a iPhone 4 before I switched to the s3 and the s3 is way more user friendly it has more apps a bigger screen more memory it is the best phone on the market hands down.
The S3 without a doubt is the better phone I went from a iPhone 4 to the s3 ps3 has a larger screen and it's less restrictive so far my dollar it's the winner
Me and my wife both own an S3 and both my kids have iphone. Yes its a divided house with 2 of each. I personally love the S3 and the kids love the iphone. I like the S3 mostly because i can expand the storage alot further than the iphone and i like the free apps that cost alot of times on iphone.
When it's comes onto International grounds the S3 is the best. I live in Ghana in west africa and using an iphone is very restrictive and not fun to use at all but the S3 is excellent with it's flexibility and customization plus loads of free apps. S3 is undoubtedly the best phone on the market
I personally think that the S3 wins without a doubt, I own a S3 device and its just a dream! It beats every Iphone out there.
Added features of the SIII, removeable battery, extra storage with SD card, innovative technology features throughout, MUCH larger screen which is great for doing just about anything from surfing the net, to watching videos, to playing game … the only ones who say the iPhone 5 wins hands down are the iSheep Fanboys who will stand in line for days for any new iPhone no matter how trivial the changes are.
S3 wins hands down that's why is the number one device on the market.

Marcellus Shale: Priming the Economic Growth Engine in Pennsylvania
It is hard to believe that so much energy as a raw resource existed under the ground in northeastern PA. Harvesting this resource would cause significant growth in the US economy, inventing industries that previously had not existed. But economically removing it was the big problem. The invention of the bore pipe, credited to Colonel Edwin L. Drake in 1859, allowed drilling to bedrock and beyond without the well caving in, allowing the harvesting of petroleum in commercial quantities. This invention encouraged population and job growth in many industries such as iron works and refineries and sparked economic growth across the US.
In a case of history repeating itself, a recent study by PWC, available at http://pwc.to/ssHJwO (formerly PriceWaterhouseCoopers, L.L.P,) the incredible resource that is the Marcellus Shale may create over a million new jobs by 2025. Many public companies have identified the cost of energy as a large future challenge and the report says that manufacturers could save as much as $11.6 billion a year from lower energy prices, increasing the competitiveness of industries such as chemicals, plastics, fertilizers, building products and many more.
Marcellus exploration has already resulted in the investment of more than $4 billion by producers in lease and land acquisition, new well drilling, infrastructure development and community partnerships, with an even greater investment expected in the future. This development benefits thousands of individuals, families and small, locally-owned businesses involved in extracting this energy source from the ground.
The US economy exploded with the broad commercialization of petroleum in 1859. Let's realize the benefits of Marcellus Shale as an incredible energy source and economic growth engine in 2012 while making sure that the environment is protected.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wind Energy and Wind Turbines
Wind Turbines and Wind Energy - Know Watts What
For our most common questions, see our answers below. If you don't see your question, you can always ask us directly or call us at 877.448.2526!
Wind Energy Costs
- What is the average payback period for wind turbines?
- What is a Wind Lease?
- What are my wind financing options?
- How much does a wind turbine cost?
Wind Turbine Information
- What are wind turbines?
- What happens when the wind does not blow?
- What is distributed wind?
- What do generator ratings tell me?
- What kind of restrictions are there for wind energy?
- How are wind turbines maintained?
- How come some turbines have two blades when others have three?
- Why does an 11kw wind turbine cost so much more than a 10kw?
- What happens if i make more energy than i use? Will the utility send me a check?
What is the average payback period for wind turbines?
The length of the payback period is dependent upon the unit itself, the quality of the turbine, electricity rates, wind at the installation site, financing options, and other incentives. The time it takes to fully recover your costs can range from 2 to 20 years depending on these and other factors. With a Wind Lease, you dont need to worry about getting the best financial return. This is because you are leasing the wind system, and only have to pay for the energy is produces. No upfront fees or maintenance required! We take care of all of that.
What is a Wind Lease?
If you choose to sign a Wind Lease, you dont have to pay high upfront costs for equipment and installation. Instead, Talco pays to install and maintain the wind turbine. You'll pay little to nothing upfront, and pay each month for the electricity that the wind turbine generates. With a Wind Lease, you are locked into low electricity rates for 10 years, meaning you'll begin to save money on energy right away, and continue to save over the life of the wind system. While utility rates my rise unexpectedly, Talco's rates will remain low and fixed. Get started with a free wind quote to see if wind energy will be right for you.
What are my wind financing options?
We offer several affordable options for you to start generating clean, renewable energy. You may pay $0 down or opt for a "partial pre-pay" where you pre-pay for some of the electricity. You can also fully pre-pay for all of the energy so you'll have no ongoing monthly payments. The lease payment combined with the new electric bill will be less than the current bill. See how much you can save using wind energy »
How much does a wind turbine cost?
Wind turbine costs are completely unique to your individual goals, and will vary depending on system size, height, and installation costs. Remember that the turbine is only one component in the system, and you must consider permits, maintenance, and labor expenses to accurately asses overall costs. However, the federal government and many states have tax credit programs and other incentives to encourage investment in distributed wind. Talco also offers a leasing program for those who want flexible, affordable energy options. You can pay $0 up-front and pay just for the energy the turbine produces. This program typically saves thousands in energy costs each year and one of the most popular ways to save on energy with wind!
What are wind turbines?
Wind turbines are electric generators that use wind energy to produce clean, emission-free forms of energy for farms, homes, and small businesses. With this increasingly popular technology, individuals can dramatically reduce energy costs while preserving the environment.
What happens when the wind does not blow?
For grid-connected systems, the user will typically not notice a difference because the utility company still provides electricity to the property when the wind does not blow. Of course, charges will be incurred for any electricity used from the utility, unless there is a credit with the utility from any prior overproduction that may have occurred.
What is distributed wind?
Distributed wind, also known as small wind or community wind, is the use of typically smaller wind turbines at homes, farms, businesses, and public facilities to off-set all or a portion of on-site energy consumption.
What do generator ratings tell me?
Generator ratings are a measure of the peak power each system can produce. Often times, manufacturers rate their systems by power, measuring its performance under peak output of the system regardless of wind speed. A turbine rated with a high kW power output does not necessarily mean it will be great at producing energy over a long time period because it is unlikely the high wind speeds in which it is rated will sustain given very few people live in regions with such conditions.
Think about your cars instrument panel. Lets say the speedometer reads 150 mph as the peak speed. This does not necessarily mean your car will ever reach this speed, but instead, that it has the capability of reaching this peak speed. The same idea goes for turbine generator ratings.
What kind of restrictions are there for wind energy?
When planning a project, careful consideration is taken to zoning, permitting, noise, and land requirement laws which vary from place to place. Zone codes may impose specific regulations on land sizes and the distance the proposed turbine must be from the property line and may vary according to the size and height of the unit. Remember, it is essential for the turbine to be placed where there is no obstruction to wind access, which may require higher towers, large lots, and non-urban locations.
Talco works with the city to ensure proper permits are filed and your selected turbine will adhere to city ordinances. It is important to note that anything with moving parts will make some sound, however, Talco supplies only the quietest machines on the market which are likely to comply with city noise restrictions.
How are wind turbines maintained?
Routine maintenance should be conducted once every year by a professional installer or trained technician for the life of the turbine. Maintenance consists of a physical inspection of the unit along with new technology that allows some turbines to be monitored remotely through a home computer. If you opt for a Wind Lease, Talco will take care of all the maintenance required for the life of the turbine.
How come some turbines have two blades when others have three?
The number of blades depends on four factors: aerodynamic efficiency, component costs, system reliability, and aesthetics. Typically, the fewer the blades the lower the material and manufacturing costs will be. For 2 blade units, the primary advantage is the lightweight construction and less costly systems. These systems have longer blade widths to compensate for the lack of a third blade. Our most popular two blade wind turbine is the 11kW Gaia-Wind. We also carry the Vergnet 275 kW two blade wind turbine which is ideal for rugged terrain and hurricane prone regions.
Why does an 11kw wind turbine cost so much more than a 10kw?
The incremental difference between a 10kW machine and a 11kW machine may seem very small, however, this is not the case. A 11kW machine can produce as much as twice the energy as a 10kW machine, making it a significantly more costly machine.
What happens if I make more energy than I use? Will the utility send me a check?
Often times turbines can produce more energy than is consumed. In this case, any extra electricity is sent back to the grid and essentially "turns your meter backwards". This creates a credit with the utility for future use when you consume more than you produce. Depending on your specific utility, they may pay you a wholesale rate for overproduction, while others may not.
Tell us a little about your energy usage:
Each property is different, so we will begin by understanding your energy usage and your project goals. We will review historical energy usage to properly determine which turbine will be most suitable based on property size, energy consumption, and project goals. Please allow 1 business day for our team to gather necessary information to deliver the best pricing estimate possible.

5 "..Awesome TV.."sdx800 | 06/02/2010 | See all sdx800's reviews (1814)Number 1 Reviewer Number 1 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Games Reviewer Top 10 Gadgets Reviewer Top 10 Toys Reviewer This is certainly the best of the 80's, great stories loads of action and one cool motorbike! The budget to a series maybe better these days but you cant beat the oldskool way of doing a classic series! Only 13 episodes so its not a tedious stretch to watch. The soundtrack is awesome too with the Steethawk theme being one of the coolest themes and intros ever! Step back in time a watch a bit of Retro TV at its best.
5 Five stars for the show, not the DVD!Jash71 | 16/05/2010 | See all Jash71's reviews (11)Finally, that awesome show that clashed with BBC's Top of the Pops every Thursday night has arrived on DVD, and - even after twenty-five years - it's still far more entertaining than Peter Powell or Dave Lee Travis!Street Hawk followed the exploits of Jesse Mach, an ex-motorcycle cop injured not in the line of duty (as the dramatic voice over would announce in the opening reel of each episode), but in a chance encounter with a drug dealer, with a penchant for hit-and-run assassination, whilst on a two-week suspension from the force. Subsequently relegated to a desk job, poor Jesse emerges from the attack a broken man, his passion for fighting crime on two wheels now nothing more than a distant memory.Enter Norman Tuttle, a geeky Federal agent with a knack for designing high-tech motorcycles and having damaged policemen patched up with a revolutionary "new prosthesis", making Jesse an offer he can't refuse.Cancelled after only thirteen episodes due to lacklustre Nielson ratings in the US (a direct result of it's graveyard spot in the Stateside TV schedule), the show went on to win itself a healthy audience in the UK, and throughout much of Europe, resulting in both a Street Hawk annual and four tie-in novels - how's THAT for heady success!The announcement of this long overdue release will, I'm sure, make many nostalgists as happy as I was when I first got wind of this box set - It's always fun to satisfy one's nostalgic cravings with a dive into the comfort viewing of yesteryear, and - when all is said and done - the show holds up very well indeed! Granted, the cheese factor occasionally spikes off the scale, the hardware doesn't look as hard as it used to, and George Clooney (appearing in the second episode) delivers one of the most excruciating performances of the decade, but it's all delivered with a naive sense of fun, and accompanied by a dazzling score from the legendary Tangerine Dream, which, even today, makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand to attention.My only criticism regarding this release is its NTSC mastering. In an attempt to lower production costs, it would seem that the distributor has exactly duplicated its American release for all territories around the world, resulting in a slightly disappointing product for us Brits, who are more accustomed to the far smoother and more accurately coloured 25fps PAL standard. Fabulous Films, hang your cheap-skate heads in shame. Oh, actually I do have one more gripe - the pointless 8 page collector's booklet, which presents no insight into the conception, design or history of the show. What it does offer is a criminally underwritten episode guide and a pointless centre spread, featuring a badly cropped section of Universal's blueprint for the bike. It would seem that the booklet's only purpose is to fool the DVD buying public into thinking they're getting more bang for their buck when they read of its existence in the special features list on the case. All is not lost, however, since the uncropped blueprint appears in the stills gallery on the fourth disc, along with some rather amusing publicity shots and a number of great US newspaper ads.The documentary is fun too, with three of the show's key players - Rex Smith, Joe Regalbuto and Jeannie Wilson - waxing lyrical about their time on the project, and hinting that there may yet be more to come! Looking at how little they've aged over the past quarter of a century (Has it really been that long?), the idea doesn't seem as ridiculous as one might imagine, and it would be great to see the Hawk in action one last time!So, overall, not a perfect package, but an acceptable release for the price. Maybe they'll get it right on Blu ray!
5 Got mine todayidai1471 | 23/03/2010 | See all idai1471's reviews (1)Got mine this morning so heres the rundownPro's1. The dvd menu system, box, booklet etc are all good.2. The bonus features are excellent esp the interview with rex smith and Norman tuddle.3. The unreleased pilot! With the original FX for the partical beam, jumps and hyperthrust all enhanced. Plus an extra court scene not int the original.4. The fact that the whole thing as been made with some TLC.The Cons1. The transfer could have been cleaned up a little better but that doesnt mean its bad because its not.2. Some extras from tangerine dream would have been nice regarding the music etc.If like me youre a fan and you signed the petition to get this on disk you wont be let down.

Did Chelsea Handler Really Release A Sextape?
Chelsea Handler stars in a graphic decade-old sex tape that has since been leaked online. Find out more at http://chelsea-handler-sextape.com/
Handler claims she made it as a "joke" audition tape to get the attention of casting agents soon after she moved to LA when she was trying to make it as a comedienne. Radar has viewed the footage and describes the action:
During the first part of the tape, Chelsea is fully clothed in her work uniform. She begins by introducing herself by name before going into a stand-up routine before suddenly cutting to Chelsea and her male partner engaging in an explicit sex act.
Chelsea, who is on all fours on a bed is naked and at several times during the filming she looks directly at the camera. Her breasts are bare and swinging during the sex act. At the end of the "performance", Chelsea's partner speaks in a clear British accent, asking, "Did we get the shot?" Chelsea looks into the camera and smiles at this point. Then the tape immediately cuts back into Chelsea continuing her stand-up routine in her apartment. Watch the
Chelsea Handler sextape
Chelsea addressed the tape on her E! show Wednesday night.
"I would like to say to RadarOnline.com, thanks for ruining my surprise Christmas gift to my staff, and number two, it was made as a joke," she said. "I put it on an audition tape for a comedy club, because I'm a comedienne, and I've been showing it at birthday parties for 10 years!"

By Ron Brown
KERBY, Ore. — Many of our regions small museums and historical societies are struggling to maintain their collections and buildings. For the Kerbyville Museum in Josephine County, it's a never-ending struggle to pay the bills and preserve history.
Dennis Strayer is the director of Kerbyville Museum, which is also part of the Historic Nauke House property. Strayer is excited about a new display focusing on the Rogue Indian Wars that opened this spring. He's also excited about a DVD the museum is selling containing more than 2,500 photos from the museum's collection. Sale of the DVD is timed to help raise matching funds to finish restoration of the Nauke House.
"It's part of our mission to preserve the past and this house is original to the property. Mr. William Nauke came here in 1879, and for $5 at a sheriff auction, he got this almost 2 acres of land and had the house built for his family," says Strayer.
It was a store, post office and stage stop on the road to the coast. So far, the windows have been replaced and the front porch rebuilt, all with donations and grant money.
"In the process of raising the deck, people in wheel chairs can now access the house, at least on the first floor. So that is a new development, and one that we're really happy about," Strayer says.
But it's painting of the outside, about $25,000 worth, that now needs to be done.
For a lot of small historic societies and museums around our area, funding is a constant problem. When it comes to trying to restore a building, it becomes a major expense. So selling DVD's of the photos from the museums collection is one way to help raise money to get this project done.
The museum has also raised entrance fees slightly and is raffling off a dollhouse replica of the Nauke House for five dollars a ticket. An old-fashioned ice cream social is planned for Sunday, July first to coincide with the Kerby High School re-union, to help raise money for the restoration project.
