Why Small Solar And Wind Generators Are Worried About Surcharge Legislation
Solar panel and wind turbine technology is improving rapidly, and many small-scale customers are excited by the potential to generate electricity and sell it — outright, or for credit — back to the grid.
But proposed legislation, Senate Bill 1456, would levy a monthly surcharge on small generators, The Oklahoman's Paul Monies reports. Wind and solar advocates say it's an attempt by electric utilities to undermine distributed power generation. The utilities say small electricity generators need to pay to use the electric grid itself.
Steve Wilke, with Delta Engineering and Design in Norman, said the bill creates a lot of uncertainty for his startup business, which designs and installs residential solar and wind systems. He won't be able to offer customers an accurate estimate on savings when they could be subject to monthly service charges.
"I can't say with any certainty what kind of cash flow they're looking at when this charge could be $10 a month or $50 a month," Wilke said. "I can see it diminish future development."
The bill, authored by A.J. Griffin, R-Guthrie and Rep. Mike Turner, R-Edmond, passed the House utility and environmental regulation committee on March 31.
Oklahoma Gas and Electric Co. spokeswoman Kathleen O'Shea said the bill wouldn't apply to existing solar or small wind customers who have signed up for net metering, the program that allows them to build credits for generating excess power. The legislation also wouldn't cover electricity generated from emergency backup generators.
O'Shea said customers with solar panels or small wind turbines are getting infrastructure benefits subsidized by other customers, many of whom can't afford the large upfront costs of solar or small wind turbine installations.
"We're not anti-solar or anti-wind or trying to slow this down, we're just trying to keep it fair," O'Shea said. "We've been studying this trend. We know it's coming, and we want to get ahead of it."

MIT students to send three satellites to Mars in three years
Students from MIT and other universities are preparing to make a time capsule mission that will go much further than putting something in the ground on Earth to be dug up years later. These students will be sending three satellites to mars that will be packed with stuff having to do with life on Earth.
The contents taken to the red planet by the satellites will include video, messages, voice recordings, and pictures. Students will encapsulate the content in CubeSats and the project will have the assistance of NASA and Explore Mars. Currently, the launch date for the project is set for 2017.
Executive director of Explore Mars Chris Carberry wants this project to spark curiosity of the public. He said: "Every member of this team wants to send humans to Mars one day, and this is one way to inspire the public. A group of students having the motivation to put together a viable mission like this and raise the funds themselves, that in itself is inspiring."
White dwarf star may be the coldest and dimmest ever discovered
Astronomers have discovered what might be the coolest and dimmest white dwarf star ever discovered. The faint star is believed to be so cool that its carbon has crystallized making it into something akin to a diamond the size of the Earth.
The star was discovered by David Kaplan and colleagues using the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's Green Bank Telescope and Very Long Baseline Array. Other observatories were also used to make the discovery.

SpaceX postpones Falcon 9 satellite launch again
SpaceX has officially postponed the planned launch of its Falcon 9 rocket with six commercial satellites onboard marking the third time that the launch has been postponed. The launch was supposed to take place on Sunday at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
The six satellites aboard the Falcon 9 rocket are owned by Orbcomm Inc and are designed to provide messaging services around the world. SpaceX is a private firm owned and operated by Elon Musk, the same man who is head of EV maker Tesla.

U.S. ballistic missile defense system test touted as a success
The U.S. Missile Defense Agency used the Boeing-led Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) System, which intercepted and destroyed a dummy target over the Pacific Ocean. Military researchers have big hopes of using the Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle (EKV), attached to the intercept booster, to help prevent ballistic missiles from hitting the mainland United States.
If the test was unsuccessful, the Pentagon would have likely reevaluated deploying more interceptors on the west coast - there are 30 of them in silos located in California and Alaska.
"The operational complexity of the GMD system is a major engineering challenge, but we have drawn upon our unmatched expertise to work toward today's successful intercept," said Norm Tew, Boeing VP and VMD program director, in a press statement.

Drones banned in U.S. national parks because of safety, noise issues
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) will no longer be allowed to fly over U.S. national parks, with concerns of safety and noise complaints. The ban covers all 84 million acres of land the National Park Service manages, so visitors won't be able to fly their drones while visiting parks.
A visitor at the Grand Canyon National Park crashed into the canyon and disrupted park visitors observing a sunset. Later in the month, Zion National Park officials noted an unmanned aircraft frightened bighorn sheep at the park.
"We embrace many activities in national parks because they enhance visitor experiences with the iconic natural, historic and cultural landscapes in our care," said Jonathan Jarvis, National Park Service Director, in a press statement. "however, we have serious concerns about the negative impact that flying unmanned aircraft is having in parks, so we are prohibiting their use until we can determine the most appropriate policy that will protect park resources and provide all visitors with a rich experience."

Report: More than 400 military drones have crashed since 2001
The U.S. military uses unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for training, reconnaissance and coordinated strikes, but there is something that is often overlooked: when these large aircraft spiral out of control and slam into the ground. There have been at least 400 military drone crashes since 2001, according to a Washington Post report.
Acquiring data through the Freedom of Information Act, drones typically crash due to mechanical issues, human mistake, or rough weather, among other reasons. The published report comes at a critical time, when the federal government wants to allow drones to fly in the same airspace as commercial aircraft.
"Flying is inherently a dangerous activity," said Dyke Weatherington, Pentagon director of unmanned warfare, in a statement. "You don't have to look very far, unfortunately, to see examples of that. I can look you square in the eye and say, absolutely, the [Defense Department] has got an exceptional safety record on this and we're getting better every day."

UV rays can be as addictive as heroin, scientists claim
People can become addicted to ultraviolet rays from the sun and that stimulates endorphin production in the same way someone abusing heroin or other opiate-based drugs, according to scientists.
"This information might serve as a valuable means of educating people to curb excessive sun exposure in order to limit skin cancer risk as well as accelerated skin ageing that occurs with repeated sun exposure," said Dr. David Fisher, Harvard Medical School, in a statement. "Our findings suggest that the decision to protect our skin or the skin of our children may require more of a conscious effort rather than a passive preference."
Using mice during his experiments, Dr. Fisher found mice placed under a sunlamp would go into withdrawal if removed from their light fix - and sunlight helped ease pain. This might help reveal why humans want to sit on the beach or visit the local tanning salon, even though it increases the potential of skin cancer.

Cassini spacecraft gathers data on Saturn's moon Titan
NASA has been planning to gather data on one of Saturn's moons called Titan for a while now. The Cassini spacecraft recently flew past Titan and was able to bounce a radio signal off the surface of the moon and send it towards the Earth. That signal was then received by a telescope array on Earth.
Cassini's radio signal traveled about a billion miles back to Earth. The team controlling the mission says that by looking at the echo of the radio signal that bounced off the surface, researchers can learn about the nature of the surface of Titan.

SolarCity and Elon Musk to build world's biggest solar farm in NY
SolarCity has signed an agreement to acquire Silevo, which is a solar panel technology and manufacturing company, where the two are now in discussions with the state of New York to build an initial manufacturing plant in the state.
This plant will eventually be generating 1GW of solar power in the next two years, making it one of single largest solar panel production plans in the world. Better yet, it will be followed in the years after by another one or more significantly larger plants, "at an order of magnitude greater annual production capacity", according to a blog post on SolarCity written by Elon Musk, Peter Rive and Lyndon Rive. Musk being the founder of SpaceX, eBay and Tesla Motors.
The problem with companies of today, is that they are producing "relatively low photonic efficiency solar cells at uncompelling costs" but the work between SolarCity and Silevo should hopefully see a change to that. They continue, saying: "Without decisive action to lay the groundwork today, the massive volume of affordable, high efficiency panels needed for unsubsidized solar power to outcompete fossil fuel grid power simply will not be there when it is needed".
Elon Musk plans colonizing Mars, establishing sustainable space city
Unless humans evacuate the planet and colonise Mars the species faces complete extinction, Tesla's Elon Musk suggested his company could be the one to do it.
Speaking in an interview with CNBC, Musk said that not only should Mars be a long term goal, he believes the first people could land on the red planet in 10-12 years. "I think it's certainly possible for that to occur," Musk said, adding that this space colony should also be a "self-sustaining city" to "make life multi-planetary."
"We should be on a path to creating a self-sustaining civilization on Mars," Musk said. "It will ensure the continued existence of humanity and life as we know it if there is a calamity on Earth, and it will be the greatest adventure in history."

Fiberglass doors vs. wood, pros and cons?
We are replacing our front doors and considering stained fiberglass doors. When I visited the showroom I tested the door by gently scraping it with my fingernail, the finish was easily scratched off. I am wondering if this was just poorly finished or is indicative of fiberglass doors in general? Am I better off with a stained wood door in terms of durability of finish?
We looked at wood-simulated fiberglass doors the other day. I wasn't impressed. I'd rather the upkeep of wood.
The fiberglass doors are much more energy efficient than wood which is why we chose to go with fiberglass. There are different qualities of pre-stained fiberglass doors. There are some that the color is throughout the fiberglass. I'd look further before you decide.
Here is a link that might be useful: Door comparison
We had a stained fiberglass door in our last home (front door). It was beautiful and the finish held up quite well for some time. However, the front of the house got several hours of strong afternoon sun and after a few years, the door started looking a bit "faded" and slightly warped.
In this house, with our brick and trim, we decided we wanted a painted door and opted for a metal door with leaded glass insert and sidelights.
In our last house, we had several fiberglass doors. The painter did a great job of staining them. In fact, you couldn't really tell they weren't wood unless you knew. None of them got direct sunlight, so I can't address the problem of fading.
Now in the new home, we purchased a VERY expensive door (8' fiberglass, craftsman style, with leaded glass), and the painters did a horrible job of finishing it. We had them re-do it, and it wasn't any better. I've concluded that he had never done a fiberglass door before, and tried to stain it with oil stain. You MUST use gel stain to get professional results. Many of the manufacturers sell their own staining kits.
If the finishing is done correctly, with the correct products, you will get a beautiful long lasting finish on fiberglass. If not, you won't be satisfied.
I guess living in the South, I feel like I wanted the authenticity of wood even if it meant more upkeep. But I went into our build thinking we'd have a painted door. Then I went hunting for doors. After looking and feeling and knocking on them wood won out. I just didn't like the way fiberglass felt or sounded when I knocked on it at all. Wood felt more solid and natural and (to me) has a natural beauty that can't be duplicated. Yes, I know I'll have to restain more often than I would have to repaint a fiberglass door. But I'm ok with that. I've seen some fabulous painted front doors. I surprised myself by liking wood more actually.
Our 93 year old stained real wood front door is holding up like a champ. It's a west facing door, although we have a deep front porch.
In the 7+ yrs that it's been OUR door, I've washed it thoroughly once and applied 2 more coats of marine varnish. The stain is well preserved under marine varnish.
Our front door is fiberglass and I hate it, I'd much rather have wood, like the original wood doors on the back of the house and the kitchen. It's on my "to replace" list, extra upkeep or no. I don't like the way the door feels or sounds or looks.
jmc01, I'm so glad to hear that. Our house faces west. That afternoon sun is harsh. Our previous home faced west but had almost no porch overhang at all. I'm pretty sure the door that was there was just finished with whatever the door company uses. Our builder is planning to use marine varnish on ours. Plus we have a nice deep porch on this house. That gives me a bit of hope that I won't have to refinish quite that often!
babs, my hubby and I have often talked/wished that we'd have gone with eral wood because we are both wood lovers. Nothing can beat the look and feel of real wood. We have too many other things to finish in our home first before we make the final decision. The problem is we just have a gingerbread screen door so no extra help there for the winter cold and the summer heat. We do have a covered porch though and the house faces south east so no bitter cold winter winds.
When we replaced our door we wanted wood originally too but living in an area that has very cold winters made the fiberglass door seem like a better choice for us. We got it in white and I had every intention of painting it but ended up liking it as it was. It has a decorative glass and has held up very well, so far so good!
My 1937 Cape Cod in southern Maine has all wood doors. The front door is original, and was painted on both sides when I bought the house in 1986. In 2008, I stripped the paint from the inside, and stained it. I had a good opportunity to go over every inch of that door, and it was perfect, despite the house facing west and it getting afternoon sun and plenty of snow over the years. It has never sagged and it has no rot. I love that 75 year old door, with its original hardware.
I don't have any closeups of the exterior, but it's protected by a wood storm door.
Like previously mentioned fiberglass doors come in different quality just like everything else. You can buy a lumber yard grade door and it comes unfinished and often with poor energy ratings.
One company that makes top notch doors is ProVia Door out of OH. They have several wood grain textures that really look like real wood. Their doors are prefinished from the factory which allows for a better finishing than most on site finishes. The doors even have a composite material for the jambs and guaranteed not to rot and they come with a security plate in the jamb.
I ended up not getting a ProVia f/g door only because they didn't have the glass package I wanted. The door I went with has an okay oak texture but not as real as the ProVia door. I finished it in my home and I've not had any trouble with the stain scratching off. It's a whole lot more efficient than the previous steel door so it's fine for me.
We have fiberglass for our patio french doors. They are mid-grade. They came primed and I painted them. The wood french doors were not doing well. Those were not original to the house and were a replacement for sliding glass doors by PO's.
Pella also has fiberglass. ALthough their fiberglass were more expensive, the Pella wood were even more expensive.
So, yes, I agree, it varies.
I love our front door which is wood. No plans to replace. It still looks great at nearly 50. I just painted the interior black.
I really wanted to replace my 85 year old wood door with wood again but the orginal was in such bad disrepair my husband was against it. We have a southern exposure front door and I did not like having the storm door when trying to get in the house with young children so wood was not a great option when we went to replace it. Having wanted wood I must say that I am very happy with my stained fiberglass door. It does not flake and the stain has held up wonderfully and people who visit are truly shocked when I tell them it is not real. It is a Pella custom order and they did the finish for us. It was very expensive, twice as much as our marble counters to give a ball park, but there are tax credits sometimes to offset some of the expense and we are saving heat with the better efficiency,
so in the long run it helps pay for its self.
Very timely discussion for me as I am looking for a replacement for my 20 year old metal doors. 15 years ago I took them to the auto body paint shop and had them painted. They used a deglosser so the paint would have a flat finish. They still look new...except where the kitties have destroyed the rubber in the door jambs.
As a builder, I've always used quality insulated steel doors and have been very satisfied. For this reno of a home I built, the buyer want to switch to double 30" wood slabs, no lites. I think they might be happier with stained wood grained fg over the long term due to the insulation value. Waiting for a final decision.
Insulated steel door to be replaced by double wood doors. Cast-stone surround will also
be used to improve appearance.
I have a Pella fiberglass entry door, installed 6 years ago. I would disagree that using gel stain is the best way to go, in fact I wouldn't recommend that at all. It looked beautiful when I finished but required varnish every 6 months. Even then it failed miserably this spring. Don't do that, there is a better way.
Fortunately, or not, my door delaminated this past month. Fortunately because I was about to strip it and start over again. As it is, Pella provided me a free replacement slab since it is warranted for 10 year. This time I'm using Sikkens Cetol Door and Window stain which does not use a polyurethene varnish topcoat. I found out about it from my neighbor who had the same problems as I with a gel stained/varnished entry door - chipping and peeling varnish. He redid his four years ago with this Sikkens stain and it looks great even now, with no further attention. Sikkens does recommend reapplying one coat after 3 or 4 years but that beats varnishing every six months plus it doesn't chip away like spar varnish.
Use Sikkens Door and Window stain instead of gel stain and varnish, seriously. It comes in four or five colors but you won't find it at HD or Lowes - go to their web site and find a paint dealer in your area.
Here is a link that might be useful: Sikkens Door and Window stain
The way that my parent's home is situated makes the front door so hot you can't touch it when it's sunny. She likes the look of wood, but with shrinkage and other problems they went with fiberglass. Also, there isn't much of an overhang over her door. There isn't a real porch or anything.
It looks really good. If you didn't know it, you'd think it was wood. My parents got just the basic door, stained on both side from provia. It was about 4k, which I think is pretty salty. But, she doesn't have the money constraints like we do. :) She has specific tastes, so we looked at a million doors. Therma tru was another one that was recommended on this site. We looked at those, but you have to actually stain it yourself or restain it every other year. I can't remember. The provia door has color that runs throughout the fiberglass and it has a lifetime warranty. If you're lazy like us, make sure to ask if you'll have to keep up the door with stain (pella, therma-tru, etc all did). Provia was the only one that you didn't have to do so from what I remember. The price is high, but I found out it's the top of the line. You know, kinda like how marvin is with windows. Just the price you have to pay. :(
Good luck!

Alene Murrell, author and 1937 Stanton graduate, will speak in the auditorium at Stanton College Preparatory School on March 26, 2015, at 3:00 p.m. She will speak about her experiences at Stanton, growing up in Jacksonville, living for three years with Zora Neale Hurston, and living through the depression and World War II. Ms. Murrell has published Zora Neale Hurston: In and Around Jacksonville, Florida in the 1920's, 1930's and 1940's. She was a featured presenter at the 20th Zora Neale Hurston Festival of the Arts. She was awarded a Jacksonville Proclamation in 2013, and a book award from the Jacksonville Historical Commission in 2014.
Welcome to Stanton College Preparatory School
The oldest continually operating high school in Florida draws from the rich community traditions of the past while reaching for a new tradition of advanced academic achievement. Stanton, built in the 1860′s was destroyed, rebuilt, moved, and changed from a comprehensive to vocational curricula. In 1981, Stanton College Preparatory School became the Duval County School System's first magnet school. Beginning with grades 7-10, and adding one grade level each succeeding year, the first senior class of 54 students graduated in 1984. Stanton College Preparatory School now serves secondary students living within the 841 square miles of the Duval County school district and leads the Duval County Public Schools in academic achievement. Stanton consistently ranks first in the county and in the top 3 in the state for the number of National Merit Semi-Finalists.

Most students and parents wonder what residential culture is like, but it's hard to figure it out if you've never actually lived in one of the halls.
What do students do when they're not in class? What is it like sharing a co-ed bathroom? Where can you study in your building? How does one find a suitable roommate? Is anyone in charge of new residents?
Find out the answers to these questions (and more) from real students themselves. Hear them discuss what they get from living in the halls. Hear them recount their true (and sometimes brutally honest) thoughts about issues that all students encounter. Hear them reveal how they've learned from their residential experience.
Watch all the video clips below to hear residents dish on real life in the residence halls, or navigate by topic:

Ok, I have been reading and researching this forum on this new hobby I would love to get into and have even made a couple of pots with broken china.
Now, I would like to try other types of materials to work with on other projects.
Home Depot and such is very limited with their color selection, as far as tiles are concerned. They have very basic neutral colors and not much of a selection with bright colored tiles and such.
Can someone here on this forum give me some ideas where I can buy online?
I am very new to this and not very familiar where or which reputable places I can buy the materials I need for my new hobby.
Please Help!
Thanks to anyone for your suggestions...
Hi, Sandy. Welcome! If you Google "mosaic tile" you will get lots of places to check out.
Here are a few to start with.
Do you have an arts and crafts store near you, such as Hobby Lobby or Michaels? They have mosaic sections. Also, the larger towns, such as Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, will have at least one or two stained glass shops. I live near Austin and buy locally from Blue Moon Glassworks or Artisan Glass. Stained glass shops usually have bins of glass scraps for mosaics. Blue Moon has recently started carrying the 3/4" tiles and other mosaic material.
For plates, I haunt Goodwill and other thrift shops, always looking for that elusive pattern. I avoid plates made in China. I try not to pay more than 99 cents per plate, and after awhile, you will learn which ones are easy to nip and work best for you. Then you can get on eBay and buy plate rims, already nipped.
You can get up early on Saturday mornings and check out local garage sales, looking for old costume jewelry. Sometimes you can find beautiful stuff, perhaps missing the pin in the back or one stone out of the design, things that don't really matter for mosaic work.
I suggest you do lots of looking on Google images and you will be inspired by the creative way mosaic artists use material.
Have fun, and come back and post pictures!
I live just out of Houston and have been to Hobby Lobby here, but their selection is very limited and only sell very samll bags of glass tiles. Micheals here no longer sells supplies for Mosaics.
I have been hitting the thrift stores and I have stocked up on plates and such.
I have a good selection of those and would like to incorporate other types of tiles as well to my projects.
Your response is greatly appreciated and thanks for the links, of which I will look into and try Ebay as well.
Also Home Depot and Lowes w/special order for you more colorful tiles, but only in case lots. I've ordered cobalt blue 4"X4", and penny tiles from Home D. and bright red 4"X4" from Lowes. Look through their catalogs for colors.
Yes, everything Silva said and Slow.
On line, I get all my tile from Mosaic Art Supply http://www.mosaicartsupply.com/
They have helpful color charts and are the most reasonable I've found in terms of price and available quantities.
One word of caution: You need to be careful about the type of materials you use depending on whether you're doing indoor projects or outdoor. Ceramic tile isn't considered weather resistant. It's porous and will crack in hard freezes. I live in California, and have a couple pieces I've made with ceramic that have been outdoors year-round through two winters now. We get frost, but nothing extreme. I've been okay so far. But if you are making outdoor projects and that's an issue, you'll want to stick to glass and porcelain.
Thought of one more source to mention. It's hit or miss, but doesn't hurt to check. One night when I couldn't sleep, I got on the computer at about 3 in the morning. I looked on Craig's List and there was an ad for for free stained glass; someone was getting out of the mosaic business and just wanted to give it away, first come, first served.
I sent an email and didn't hear back for a week; then out of the blue, a lady emailed me and said I was the first to respond so I could have it all. She and her husband own a car repair shop in Austin, so I made arrangements to meet her there, and thankfully I drive a van because they loaded the entire van up with heavy boxes of glass. I got home and immediately started opening boxes and I was overwhelmed -- it is beautiful expensive stuff in every color.
So, Craig's List is one place to check, and another is word of mouth. I went in a local hardware store one day to buy a carborundum stone (kitchen sharpener) and when the clerk asked what I used it for and I said mosaics, another worker approached me and asked if I wanted all her mosaic supplies because she is starting to work only in metal, so again, I met her at her house and she loaded my van with not only glass, but also many tools, including a Glastar grinder.

2007 Bentley Continental GTC Convertible 2dr Convertible AWD (6.0L 12cyl Turbo 6A)
I just decided to treat myself, and while shopping came across an 07 with 15k miles on it, beautiful car, but the transmission was bothering me by the way it shifted on the test drive. The sales rep swore it was normal, but after driving for the last 33 years, I know what a transmission should feel like. Decided not to get this one, but will continue to look.

This vehicle has a beautiful interior, but that is about all I can say good about it. Handling is reminiscent of my 10 year old Rolls. I thought this car would be much tighter, and squeak free, just not the case. Electronic gremlins, including a very slow downshift automatic transmission. Dealership says "everything is normal". We will now be selling a pretty new car.

I've owned a GT, Spur and now the GTC and this is the best of all three. Better drive/ride/handling than the GT and Spur - AND, as of 2008 model, they've eliminated all the kinks/idiosyncs out of the electronics, esp. the phone and nav. system from the earlier models. The GTC is a joy to drive and a head turner. Build quality is better than ever and the sound system, in a word, spectacular. The GTC is, in a word, masterful. Even the Breitling clock is improved!

This car is truly amazing. Having come out of Mercedes SL55s and Porsche 911s, I can only say this is an incredible blend of muscle and sheer elegance.

I just bought my first Bentley (Continental GTC) for myself for Christmas. I have a Ferrari 306 Modenna Spider and this Bentley to my amazement could easily outperform it. If you're looking for extreme style and class while getting the performance of a Ferrari or race car for not too much money (if you're already in this market), this is a win, win, win, win situation. I promise you'll be happy and proud you bought this car.

I have had the Bentley Continental GTC for about one week now. It is a real blast to drive. I am planning to get rid of my older Bentley GT because this one is so much fun to drive! The interior is the best part of the car. The leather is like no other car in the world! The GTC drives so nicely I prefer to drive this over my Rolls Royce Phantom. In my opinion this is Bentley's best car yet!

I absolutely love this car. I think that Bentley did a GREAT job with it. It is beautiful and handles well, plus it has GREAT acceleration. My kids love it! My 12 year old's friends are always ask for rides in it, and there's NEVER a wait at the valet! ha ha. GO BENTLEY!
