Make sure that find does not touch anything other than regular files, and handles non-standard characters in filenames while passing to xargs.
needs no GNU tools, as far as I see it
saves one command. Needs GNU grep though :-(
The grep switches eliminate the need for awk and sed. Modifying vim with -p will show all files in separate tabs, -o in separate vim windows. Just wish it didn't hose my terminal once I exit vim!!
This will drop you into vim to edit all files that contain your grep string.
This will allow you to watch as matches occur in real-time. To filter out only ACCEPT, DROP, LOG..etc, then run the following command: watch 'iptables -nvL | grep -v "0 0" && grep "ACCEPT"' The -v is used to do an inverted filter. ie. NOT "0 0"
Check which files are opened by Firefox then sort by largest size (in MB). You can see all files opened by just replacing grep to "/". Useful if you'd like to debug and check which extensions or files are taking too much memory resources in Firefox.
Best to put it in a file somewhere in your path. (I call the file spath)
IFS=:; find $PATH | grep $1
Usage: $ spath php
doesn't do case-insensitive filenames like iname but otherwise likely to be faster
to omit "grep -v", put some brackets around a single character
Shows all those processes; useful when building some massively forking script that could lead to zombies when you don't have your waitpid()'s done just right.
Remove newlines from output.
One character shorter than awk /./ filename and doesn't use a superfluous cat.
To be fair though, I'm pretty sure fraktil was thinking being able to nuke newlines from any command is much more useful than just from one file.
xargs -P N spawns up to N worker processes. -n 40 means each grep command gets up to 40 file names each on the command line.
This one will work a little better, the regular expressions it is not 100% accurate for XML parsing but it will suffice any XML valid document for sure.
I wanted all the 'hidden' .flv files from the http link in the command line; wget seemed appropriate, fed with output from lynx, grep the flv files and the normalised via sed (to remove the numeric bullet). Similar to the 'Grab mp3 files' fu. Replace link with your own, grep arg with something more interesting ;) See here for something along the same lines...
Hope you find it useful! Improvements welcome, naturally.
Find Word docs by filename in the current directory, convert each of them to plain text using antiword (taking care of spaces in filenames), then grep for a search term in the particular file.
(Of course, it's better to save your data as plain text to make for easier grepping, but that's not always possible.)
Requires antiword. Or you can modify it to use catdoc instead.
grep -o puts each occurrence in a separate line
grep's -c outputs how may matches there are for a given file as "file:N", cut takes the N's and awk does the sum.
I often use "vim -p" to open in tabs rather than buffers.

First Adobe release a 64-bit Linux Flash player, now this happens THE SAME WEEK?
Next you'll be telling us Duke Nukem Forever got released, with a LINUX CLIENT!
Phoronix: VIA Publishes 2D/3D Documentation, Partners With OpenChrome
Earlier this year VIA announced they wanted to join the open-source bandwagon by establishing an open-source driver development initiative, releasing documentation and source-code, and to better engage with the Linux community at large. They have made a few small steps over the past few months, but today they have made their largest open-source contribution yet by releasing four programming documentation guides that cover the video, 2D, and 3D programming for their Chrome 9 graphics processor. In addition, they are now partnering with the community-spawned OpenChrome developers.
First Adobe release a 64-bit Linux Flash player, now this happens THE SAME WEEK?
Next you'll be telling us Duke Nukem Forever got released, with a LINUX CLIENT!
Why do you always use the "bandwagon" word? From my experience it has a negative meaning and is usually used to describe copycat bands (that record crappy music).
Well, now Nvidia is the only one left to "open up", but they already have a good closed-source driver. (which is why I just bought a 512 MB GeForce 8 to replace the crappy Nvidia card that came with my comp).
Plus, with gallium 3d merget into nouveau, we can look forward to a working 3d nouveau driver, altough to satisfy me, it has to be exactly as stable in games as the nvidia closed-source one, also with propietary games.
Well as usually the date of releasing the specs is not the same date of a working driver... So no need to jump on the desk.
Heh... Depends on whether or not the info's...
1) All there...
2) Complicated or not...
I'm checking into the "all there" part right now. The 3D document's only 157 pages in size for the VX700 3D programming doc (First thing I noticed, they did it under a Creative Commons license...definitely a change of pace...)- if it's all there, it means it's a somewhat simpler chip (explains the performance deltas, no?).
We'll see. It might be up and going against the old DRI framework quickly. I'd rather see a Gallium backend myself, but that may have to wait until the final cuts of the Intel Gallium3D support show up for that one.
In oktober 2007 I was once again contacted by yet another VIA person (this was not the first time, but all of such contacts were an effective waste of time) who wondered what ideas i had for VIAs open source strategy. This was of course many months before their marketing team accidentally put all of the current stuff in motion. The first thing i said was that i was now working for SUSE, and i was actively helping a hardware vendor doing the right thing, becausei was of course very heavily involved with the AMD project, and them making docs available...
This was followed by a long silence at the other side of the line, something which was very telling.
So bandwagon is a very correct choice of words from where i sit.
I think they might have caught a clue with Harald over there. I'm not done yet with the perusal of the register specs, but it's looking remotely possible that they gave out enough info to at least get a full-on GL 1.3 level driver done with the info provided. A proper 1.5/2.0 capable renderer would probably have to rely on the Gallium3D framework and the LLVM to produce CPU-centric Vetex shader support at the least, based on the cursory reading here.
So far, it's looking a lot better than the story we got last pass from them. This may actually be a useful doc release from them.
I know why they're worried about RandR and multi-head support. Their Nano reference boards are finally making it to OEM's. Meaning there should finally be a "second wave" of VIA-powered netbooks. I think I speak for all netbook owners when I say it's nice when the VGA-out actually works.It is also a bit odd that their leading priorities are multi-head and RandR support, when those aren't really huge sought after features for IGP customers compared to say improving the 3D support or improving video acceleration.

You know from My posts, Pizza Town Is one of my absolute Favorites but its almost beyond NY if that makes sense? Chau? and I though Larry had the girls loosened up ? A light up hat No way Paulie Gee!John
I have to go with New Park.
I think you guys need to come back and perform some additional analysis.

We've had a couple of conversations here of late about the idea of filibuster reform. And in the course of these conversations it has been pointed out that how you feel about filibustering has a lot to do with whether or not your party is in the minority. I'd say that's a fair point and that whatever reform is put forward should be measured reform, with that very very fact in mind, that idea of protecting the minority voice. But the story I read this morning sure does leave one to think some kind of reform is in order.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) introduced legislation to raise the debt ceiling on Thursday, apparently with the intent of showing that even Democrats would not support such a bill.
However, McConnell�s plan backfired after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) called for a vote on the legislation, which would have given the president the authority to raise the federal debt ceiling on his own. The top Senate Republican was forced to filibuster his own bill.
�What we have here is a case of Republicans here in the Senate once again not taking �yes� for an answer,� Reid said, after McConnell announced his filibuster. �This morning the Republican leader asked consent to have a vote on this proposal, just now I told everyone we were willing to have that vote � up or down vote. Now the Republican leader objects to his own idea. So I guess we have a filibuster of his own bill…�

The "massaging hula hoop" isn't so massaging after all. My sides have officially been tenderized, but does provide a great workout. I'll give it that much. Box does say you will burn up to 100 calories every 10 minutes and I believe it. Does take awhile to put together. You get 3 bags in the box. A bag of magnets, a bag of white half circle clips that connect to the hoop, and a bag of clear half circle balls. There is at least 50+ little balls to put together before you even put the hoop together.
I received this hoop yesterday and my son helped me with assembly. Seeing that there are 42 balls and 42 magenets... I just placed one in each ball. I've never hooped before so I was pleased to be able to go for over two hundred revolutions at a time, and I know that practice will get me there to 10 minutes. Now for the ouchie part. Massage balls??? Nothing massaging about them so far as I can tell, more like torture balls. I only hope that in time they will be less painful. All on all I like it ok. I have already ordered a ridgeless heavier hoop to alternate between the two. Hooping is fun, they just need to work on the comfort factor of the balls.
Now it takes some getting use to, but after a week I am doing good and can tell it is working after a month. Be prepared to have some bruising at first. I would recommend only five to seven minutes at first, and if you bruise a little stop for a few days then start back light again. You will stop bruising and get better as time goes. I can stand and watch tv for 20 mins with no problem now!
Although the quality of the magnets could be better. I love this hula hoop!! I only have to use it for 5-10 minutes a day. I can feel it in my ab's and thighs. I've been only using it for a few weeks and already have great results!! Love handles are the hardest to get rid of it and this definitely hits the spot!!! Awesome
I must say my first experience with O.co was great. I got my purchase within 3 business days, and in great shape. I will definetly recommend this site to all my friends. I will be shopping once again for the holidays. Keep up the good work. You know have a new foi=und friend.
poor quality, poorly made. hard to assemble it, and not lock piece well, always open while using. no original box, only brown box.
This is not for a beginner. Three of the balls broke off in the first 5 minutes. More broke off as I continued to use it. I ended up taking all of them off breaking a few more. I feel I just wasted my money of this one.
I should have listened to the other reviews this product is hard to put together it easily breaks and the poor design leaves bruises on your torso. I suggest a normal weighted hula hoop. Once you drop this one the little pods pop off and break. I wonder why they didn't put these things on the outside of the ring that way it wouldn't come on contact with you. Wasted money.
1. Product is INFERIOR; Each inner magnetic ball must be assembled and then snapped in to the frame. 2. 60% of the balls do not remain snapped in to the frame once hoop is used, they immediately fly off once hoop comes in contact with body 3. Cost of item is $20 BUT to return it Overstock charges you a FEE of $7.45 to PRINT return label, so you'll only be credited less than $13. for this useless piece of junk
I was extremely dissapointed, It took me days to connect the pieces, they were super hard, and when finally finished and I was very happy to start playing, it was painfull and immediately disambled itself, flew in pieces! I assembledd it again and once again, it keeps disambling itself, totally not worth it, I did not returned it just because I went on vacation, and no time. NOT recommended. Sorry, poor enginnering quality.

Hmmm. Good stuff all. Learned who Tyketto to were and good song but and another reminder you need more than talent in that business.
I knew Debbie and not really my bag either but through reading this thread I came across Johnny Cash and one I had never heard though some of you may have so I check out this and the video for Hurt on youtube and decided to get the whole American collection of Cash. All in about 20 minutes. Touches me.

Unchained lyrics
I have been ungrateful, I've been unwise.
Restless from the cradle, now I realize.
It's so hard to see the rainbow through glasses dark as these. Maybe I'll be able from now on, on my knees.
Oh I am weak. Oh I know I am vain.
Take this weight from me, Let my spirit be unchained.
Old man swearin' at the sidewalk, I'm overcome.
Seems that we've both forgotten, forgotten to go home.
Oh have I seen an angel, or have I seen a ghost? Where's that Rock of Ages when I need it most?
[repeat chorus]
For full effect watch the video for this (and Hurt) when you read it and remember what this man lived through from beginning to end and then it really hits home. For me anyhow.


text: What the release announcement misses is that filesystem freeze is getting implemented for some filesystems, I spotted xfs and ext3 already. Filesystem freeze is the first step to allow snapshots, and it seems that this is the exact reason they're implementing filesystem freeze. Can't wait to be able to do snapshots of ext3 partitions that are online!

Materia Medica by Allen |
There are no translations available. MATERIA MEDICA By H. C. AllenKEYNOTES AND CHARACTERISTICS WITH COMPARISONS OF SOME OF THE LEADING REMEDIES OF THE MATERIA MEDICA BY H. C. ALLEN, M.D. Homeopathic remedies and their abbreviations
ABROTANUM - ( abrot ) PREFACE: SECOND EDITIONIn preparing the second edition for the press the work has been enlarged and practically rewritten. Many more remedies have been included and symptoms and comparisons extended, yet care has been taken that every symptom has been verified. The original plan has been maintained, viz.: to give only those symptom guides that mark the individuality of the remedy, that the student of materia medica may use them as landmarks to master the genius of the remedial agent.At the suggestion of the publishers and in response to numerous enquiries a more extended symptomatology of the nosodes has been included, for these invaluable additions to our armamentarium, like the so-called tissue remedies of Schuessler, only need more extensive provings to place them in the list of polychrests. That the student may acquire the correct pronunciation of our remedial agents an alphabetical list of remedies with the accentuation is given, for a homoeopathic physician may properly be held accountable for the correct use of terms peculiar to his profession. An index of remedies and comparisons is also included. H. C. ALLEN PREFACE: FIRST EDITIONThe life-work of the student of the homoeopathic Materia Medica is one of constant comparison and differentiation. He must compare the pathogenesis of a remedy with the recorded anamnesis of the patient; he must differentiate the apparently similar symptoms of two or more medicinal agents in order to select the similimum. To enable the student or practitioner to do this correctly and rapidly he must have as a basis for comparison some knowledge of the individuality of the remedy; something that is peculiar, uncommon, or sufficiently characteristic in the confirmed pathogenesis of a polychrest remedy that may be used as a pivotal point of comparison. It may be a so-called "keynote," a "characteristic," the "red strand of the rope," and central modality or principle—as the aggravation from motion of Bryonia, the amelioration from motion of Rhus, the furious, vicious delirium of Belladonna or the apathetic indifference of Phosphoric acid—some familiar landmark around which the symptoms may be arranged in the mind for comparison.Something of this kind seems indispensable to enable us to intelligently and successfully use our voluminous symptomatology. Also, if we may judge from the small number of homoeopathic physicians who rely on the single remedy in practice, and the almost constant demand for a "revision" of the Materia Medica, its study in the past, as well as at present, has not been altogether satisfactory to the majority. An attempt to render the student's task less difficult, to simplify its study, to make it both interesting and useful, to place its mastery within the reach of every intelligent man or woman in the profession, is the apology for the addition of another monograph to our present works of reference. It is all-important that the first step in the study of homoeopathic therapeutics be correctly taken, for the pathway is then more direct and the view more comprehensive. The object of this work is to aid the student to master that which is guiding and characteristic in the individuality of each remedy and thus utilize more readily the symptomatology of the Homoeopathic Materia Medica, the most comprehensive and practical work for the cure of the sick ever given the medical profession. It is the result of years of study as student, practitioner and teacher, and is published at the earnest solicitation of many alumni of Hering College, with the hope that it may be of as much benefit to the beginner as it has been to the compiler. H. C. ALLEN |

Something nasty people do when they are bored, have no life, or are really stupid. It's nasty because a lot of the time you never hear about it and people are way too PC to admit and are nice to you to your face, but spread nasty gossip behind your back. And you never know what happened when someone suddenly hates you for no reason or some people start threatening you for no reason. That's because some loser(s) with no life or brain decided to gossip because they're too stupid to have any hobbies, a real social life, or any shread of concience whatsoever.
Gossip is what happens before you get a knife in your back.

The Kenosha County Sheriff's Department sounded the tornado sirens Thursday afternoon after a funnel cloud was sighted and waterspouts were seen over Lake Michigan.
The National Weather Service did not see rotation in the storm clouds on radar, so no official tornado warning was issued.
The Sheriff's Office said the spouts were a couple of miles offshore south of 104th Street.
Sgt. Bill Beth of the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department said the two waterspouts merged into one large one, then split.
Beth said it was a "beautiful day" when the waterspouts "just popped out of nowhere."
National Weather Service meteorologist Ed Townsend said waterspouts generally occur between August and October.
There were no reports of any damage or that the funnel cloud touched down, the Sheriff's Department said, but the U.S. Coast Guard checked on a report of possible debris floating on Lake Michigan after the waterspouts passed near Kenosha Harbor.
Pleasant Prairie police said they got a call just after 2 p.m. from a resident who thought he had seen a boat overtaken by the waterspout.
Other people told the Sheriff's Department they were sure they saw the mast of a sailboat about 1 mile offshore that was overtaken by the southbound waterspout. When the water spout dissipated, they did not see the sailboat anymore.
The Coast Guard suspended its search at 5:30 p.m. Thursday.

Indians looking to gain ground in AL Central rivalry
Tomlin is coming off one-hit gem as Royals employ rookie Ventura
The sight of home will be a welcome one for the Tribe.
With a West Coast road trip in the books, the Indians return to Progressive Field, where they are a division-best 23-15 this season, to begin a 10-game homestand leading up to the All-Star break. With the Royals on tap for the first of a three-game set on Friday -- the Fourth of July -- Cleveland hopes the home cooking can lead to fireworks on the field as it looks to gain ground in the American League Central race.
The last time the two clubs met, the Royals claimed both games of a two-game set, outscoring the Tribe by a combined 13-6 at Kauffman Stadium. Kansas City trails first-place Detroit by 4 1/2 games, while sporting a three-game lead over third-place Cleveland in the AL Central standings.
Indians starter Josh Tomlin has not faced the Royals this season, but the right-hander does have the distinction of having thrown a one-hit shutout against the Mariners in his last outing. Not known for his reputation as a strikeout artist, Tomlin fanned 11 while issuing zero walks.
"I knew I felt good and I knew I was commanding the ball to both sides of the plate," Tomlin said. "I was on the same page as [catcher Yan Gomes] from the get-go and, the way the defense was playing, it was turning out to be a good night.
The stellar start, which took 111 pitches to complete, featured 64 fastballs, 24 cutters, 19 curveballs and four changeups, with Tomlin generating 18 swings-and-misses.
"He pitched exactly to the game plan," pitching coach Mickey Callaway said. "He did everything we asked, as far as what we talked about in the advance meeting. He did a really good job with that."
The Royals will counter with right-hander Yordano Ventura, whose last start was cut short by a nearly four-hour rain delay on Saturday against the Angels. He gave up two earned runs on seven hits in four innings, while striking out three.
"Obviously, I was disappointed. I was prepared to pitch, and I wanted to go back out there, but there was no way I was going to go back out after that rain delay," Ventura said.
The Indians got the better of the Royals in their last set at Progressive Field, taking the series three games to one in April while holding KC to 15 runs across the four contests.
Royals: Chen could pitch on Friday
Reliever Bruce Chen will likely be available out of the bullpen during Friday's series opener, manager Ned Yost said on Wednesday.
The 37-year-old Chen (1-2, 7.40 ERA) made a five-inning relief appearance on Saturday against the Angels and has yet to reach 100 percent since the extended outing. He surrendered four runs on five hits.
"He needs one more day," Yost said. "But I could use him in a pinch."
The Royals' bullpen could use the added depth, as the club needed to recall Casey Coleman on Wednesday after Michael Mariot was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on the heels of allowing five runs (two earned) in a one-out appearance on Tuesday.
Indians: Swisher turns in solid day
It's no secret that first baseman Nick Swisher has struggled this season, but Tuesday's 2-for-4 performance against the Dodgers -- his first multi-hit game since May 20 -- at least provided some encouragement.
Swisher has hit just .197 with a .285 on-base percentage through 66 games this season. Primarily the Tribe's designated hitter as of late, he was limited to an 0-for-1 pinch-hit appearance in Wednesday's Interleague clash with the Dodgers.
"I thought he swung the bat very well [on Tuesday]," manager Terry Francona said. "Swish has gone through a really tough time. I don't think he's ever really gone through this for this extended amount of time before, so it's not the easiest thing. I totally understand that. And I've tried to explain it to him a little bit, we're not running away from him."
Worth noting
• Indians outfielder Michael Bourn received a regular day off on Wednesday with Dodgers lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu on the mound. Bourn is batting .208 against southpaws this season.
• With a single during Tuesday night's tilt with the Twins, 42-year-old Raul Ibanez became the second-oldest player to record a hit in Royals franchise history, second only to Bob Boone, who singled off of the Angels' Jim Abbott on September 27, 1990 for the 1,838th and final hit of his career at 42 years, 312 days. Ibanez became the oldest Royals player to ever homer in a game with his blast in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Twins.

Current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted past performance, which cannot guarantee future results. Share price, principal value, and return will vary, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares. To obtain the most recent month-end performance, visit putnam.com.
Performance assumes reinvestment of distributions and does not account for taxes. Returns before sales charge do not reflect the current maximum sales charges as indicated below. Had the sales charge been reflected, returns would be lower. Returns at public offering price (after sales charge) for class A and class M shares reflect the current maximum initial sales charges of 5.75% and 3.50% for equity funds and Putnam Absolute Return 500 Fund and 700 Fund, and 4.00% and 3.25% for income funds (1.00% and 0.75% for Putnam Floating Rate Income Fund, Putnam Absolute Return 100 Fund and 300 Fund, and Putnam Short-Term Municipal Income Fund), respectively. Class B share returns reflect the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC), which is 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and is eliminated thereafter (except for Putnam Floating Rate Income Fund, Putnam Absolute Return 100 Fund and 300 Fund, and Putnam Short-Term Municipal Income Fund, which is 1% in the first year, declining to 0.5% in the second year, and is eliminated thereafter). Class C shares reflect a 1% CDSC the first year that is eliminated thereafter. Performance for class B, C, M, R, T, and Y shares prior to their inception is derived from the historical performance of class A shares, adjusted for the applicable sales charge (or CDSC) and, except for class Y shares, the higher operating expenses for such shares (with the exception of Putnam Tax-Free High Yield Fund and Putnam AMT-Free Municipal Fund, which are based on the historical performance of class B shares). Performance for Class R5/R6 shares before their inception are derived from the historical performance of class Y shares, which have not been adjusted for the lower expenses; had they, returns would have been higher. Class A, M, and T shares of Putnam money market funds have no initial sales charge. For a portion of the period, some funds had expenses limitations or had been sold on a limited basis with limited assets and expenses, without which returns would be lower.
S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of common stock performance. Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index of U.S. investment-grade fixed-income securities. Securities in the fund do not match those in the indexes and performance of the fund will differ. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Consider these risks before investing: International investing involves currency, economic, and political risks. Emerging-market securities carry illiquidity and volatility risks. Investments in small and/or midsize companies increase the risk of greater price fluctuations. Lower-rated bonds may offer higher yields in return for more risk. Funds that invest in government securities are not guaranteed. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk and the risk that they may increase in value less when interest rates decline and decline in value more when interest rates rise. Our allocation of assets among permitted asset categories may hurt performance. Growth stocks may be more susceptible to earnings disappointments, and value stocks may fail to rebound. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate risk (the risk of bond prices falling if interest rates rise) and credit risk (the risk of an issuer defaulting on interest or principal payments). Interest-rate risk is greater for longer-term bonds, and credit risk is greater for below-investment-grade bonds. Unlike bonds, funds that invest in bonds have fees and expenses. Active trading strategies may lose money or not earn a return sufficient to cover trading and other costs. Efforts to produce lower-volatility returns may not be successful and may make it more difficult at times for the fund to achieve its targeted returns. In addition, under certain market conditions, the funds may accept greater volatility than would typically be the case, in order to seek their targeted return. Risks associated with derivatives include increased investment exposure (which may be considered leverage) and, in the case of over-the-counter instruments, the potential inability to terminate or sell derivatives positions and the potential failure of the other party to the instrument to meet its obligations. There is no guarantee that the funds will provide adequate income at and through an investor's retirement. Stock and bond prices may fall or fail to rise over time for several reasons, including general financial market conditions, factors related to a specific issuer or industry and, with respect to bond prices, changing market perceptions of the risk of default and changes in government intervention. These factors may also lead to increased volatility and reduced liquidity in the bond markets. You can lose money by investing in the funds.
You can lose money by investing in a fund. Any given fund may not achieve its goal, and is not intended as a complete investment program. All funds have risk. The value and/or returns of a portfolio will fluctuate with market conditions. You may have more or less than the original amount invested when you redeem your shares.

Basic facts about the future of Vermont's smart gridBy Madeline Bodin | February 02,2014Photo by Madeline Bodin
Vermonts smart grid technology is considered to be one of the top five in the nation. These VELCO transmission lines are in Pittsford.Vermonts electrical grid is at a tipping point, experts say.
We are in a period of unprecedented change at an accelerating rate, says Kerrick Johnson, vice president for external affairs at the Vermont Electric Power Company, known as VELCO.
Its not an isolated phenomenon. Vermonts electrical grid is part of a New England-wide network of bulk-power generators and transmission lines operated by ISO New England. ISO stands for independent system operator. The New England network in turn is part of a larger regional grid that covers the eastern half of the country.
But Vermont does chart its own path, with laws passed by the state Legislature and regulatory decisions made by the Public Service Board which acts as a sort of energy court. Vermonts role as a national leader in net metering regulations and smart grid technology means that during this period of accelerating change, we have a seat in the front of the roller coaster.
Right now Vermonters are making important decisions about our electrical grid, but the grid itself is a mystery to many. Here is a brief overview of its most important aspects.
Smart meter versus smart grid
The smart meter is the most visible component of the smart grid, but its not the most important component, says Paul Hines, assistant professor at the University of Vermont School of Engineering and an expert on electrical grids.
Its the use of digital technology to relay outage information, reroute power and even locate crews that makes the smart grid smart, he says.
Connectivity as in the Internet is at the heart of the smart grid, explains Greg White, vice president of field operations for Green Mountain Power, or GMP.
Its in all aspects of the electrical grid, says White.
Customers can see this in the social networking tools that the company uses to communicate with them, he says, but there is even more of that behind the scenes. White says the focus has been on how the smart grid lets consumers make better choices, but better information means the utility itself can be more efficient.
Transmission versus distribution
To most of us, the poles and wires that bring electricity to our doorstep are all the same. But to people in the electrical industry, there is an important distinction.
Transmission lines move high voltages across long distances. In Vermont, VELCO operates the states transmission system. Distribution lines bring power to our homes and businesses and are owned and maintained by Vermonts 17 electric distribution utilities.
Understanding the difference between transmission and distribution is vital to understanding the changes that are taking place in the grid.
Experts expect the distribution system to grow more complex, while the transmission system grows more robust to meet new federal requirements.
Net metering and distributed generation
Its no accident that those small, local electrical generation projects are known as distributed generation. They connect to distribution lines, while major power plants connect to transmission lines.
Distributed generation may be the wind turbine you installed on your roof, or the small-scale community solar farm down the road.
To the grid it looks like energy efficiency, because it is produced and consumed in the same place, reducing input from the larger grid, says Darren Springer, deputy commissioner of the Public Service Department, the state agency that represents the public interest in energy issues.
Distributed generation is exploding, says VELCOs Johnson, not just in Vermont, but across the United States.
Distributed generation requires distribution lines to run both ways more like transmission lines. It also reduces the amount of power transmission lines need to carry, since more electricity is generated where it is used.
Net metering is the method used in Vermont to link distributed generation systems into the larger grid. Excess energy is sold to the local utility at the going rate. The state Legislature is considering a bill that will extend Vermonts net metering law.
Integrating renewables
Integrating wind and solar requires changes to the grid, says Hines, but were not going to tear it up and start new.
The need for a multi-million dollar piece of equipment, a synchronous condenser, to fully integrate the Lowell wind project into the grid may have led some Vermonters to think that all renewable energy projects require expensive upgrades.
However, says Hines, The synchronous condenser in Lowell is a particular solution to a particular problem building a wind farm in a weak part of the grid.
Adjustments must be made when any type of power plant goes on line. The real trick with renewables, Hines says, is balancing the electrical load when both solar and wind systems can slow down or stop producing power in an instant as when a cloud passes in front of the sun.
When renewables wink off, says Ed McNamara, regional policy director for the Public Service Department, gas generation plants can start producing power in ten minutes.
The road to the future
The challenge for Green Mountain Power is how to advance the system, while keeping reliability, costs and security, White says of the test facing the states largest utility.
As for the challenges facing the Public Service Department, Springer comments, Commissioner [Christopher] Recchia says that weve always had variable demand on the grid people turning their lights on and off. The new opportunity and challenge is bringing clean, but intermittent, energy sources, like solar, into the grid.
These challenges are large, but Hines, the nationally recognized expert, says Vermont can show the rest of the country the way.
The grid could always be smarter. In Vermont, smart people worked hard to make it work well, he says. I think after the investment of the 2009 Recovery Act money in smart grid technology, Vermont is among the top five areas in the country for smart grid. If we do well, we get a chance to share it.

Mayor KJ tells Seattle 'don't celebrate too early'
Tuesday - 1/22/2013, 11:32pm EST
By ANTONIO GONZALEZ
AP Sports Writer
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson had a stern warning for Seattle SuperSonics fans who are excited about the prospect of the NBA returning to the Puget Sound next season.
"Don't celebrate too early," he said.
In front of a cheering City Hall crowd filled with fans and public officials Tuesday, Johnson introduced the first part of his four-step plan to keep the Sacramento Kings in California's capital city.
The three-time NBA All-Star guard turned mayor said he has secured 20 investors who have pledged at least $1 million each to be part of a local group to buy the franchise. Johnson said the major partners he hopes will anchor the last-ditch deal to keep the Kings from moving to Seattle will be revealed as soon as this week.
A person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press that billionaire Ron Burkle and 24 Hour Fitness founder Mark Mastrov are in "serious talks" to collaborate on Sacramento's bid, which would include a plan for a new downtown arena. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no agreement has been reached.
Burkle, a Southern California businessman and co-owner of the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins, expressed interests in buying the Kings two years ago. Mastrov was among the final bidders for the Golden State Warriors before Joe Lacob and Peter Guber bought the team for an NBA-record $450 million in 2010.
Offering more hope than substance so far, Johnson remained confident he can save Sacramento's only professional team from relocation again.
"We've been here before," Johnson said. "Our backs have been against the wall. They told us it wasn't going to happen. But each and every step along the way, as long as there is time on the clock, our community always finds a way to stand up for itself."
Unlike the last two years, Sacramento is up against a group that already has signed agreements to acquire the Kings and build a new arena for the franchise.
The mayor's announcement came a day after the Maloof family announced a deal to sell the Kings to a Seattle group that includes investor Chris Hansen and Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer. The signed purchase agreement is still pending a vote by the NBA Board of Governors.
The group will buy 65 percent of the franchise, which has a total valuation of $525 million, and move the team to Seattle and restore the SuperSonics name, another person familiar with the decision said earlier this week. That means the group will pay a little more than $340 million.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal is waiting to be approved. Hansen's group also is hoping to buy out other minority investors.
The main stipulation Johnson is counting on is that the Maloofs are still allowed to receive other offers until the league approves the sale, which the mayor expects to take until at least April, when owners meet in New York. The deadline for teams to file for relocation for next season is March 1, though that has been extended the last two years for the Kings.
Johnson said he has spoken with more than one heavy-hitting investor to back the plan and produce a "fair and competitive offer." He also said prominent Sacramento-area lawyers have offered to work pro bono for the city's cause.
"I just say to the fans in Seattle: be cautiously optimistic. Be smart. But this isn't about our city against their city, or one mayor against another mayor," Johnson said. "We have something that's ours and we want to keep it, and we're going to do everything we can to make Sacramento the final resting place of the Sacramento Kings."
The final three phases of the mayor's "Playing to Win" plan are finding the major financers to compete with the Seattle group's offer, demonstrating the city's commitment to a new downtown arena and showing the strength of the Sacramento market. None of those crucial pieces have been announced.
Some of the 20 proposed minority investors, two of whom Johnson said chose to remain anonymous, stood next to the mayor and spoke about why they agreed to non-binding pledges.
The group includes developer David Taylor, who backed a plan to build a $391 million arena in downtown Sacramento before the deal collapsed last year; Phil Oates, a developer and the son of Sacramento-area real estate pioneer Marvin "Buzz" Oates; and Kevin Nagle, a business executive and co-owner of the Town Center who helped increase Sacramento sponsorship and season-ticket sales when the Kings explored a move to Anaheim two years ago.

Okay Guys, here's a toughie. In 1899, A guy called Maxime Laubeuf won a competition run by the French government by building a ground-breaking sub. It was the first to have double hulls, with the space between them used for water ballast, it had a dual propulsion system - steam on the surface and an electric motor when submerged and the steam engine also charged batteries. She had fore and aft diving planes and carried 4 torpedos carried externally on drop collars.
She is to be my next scratch build and I've asked the French navy for anything they have on this boat. She was so successful she became the lead boat in a class of five more that formed the nucleus of their first sub fleet. Just thought one of you bubble heads might also have some helpful info - no harm in asking, right? I have the dual power-plant sorted so just need accurate plans as the two drawings (and one dodgy photo) I have are contradictory. Thanks, Chris.

Quality Very quick delivery, inspite of the need to manufacture the pieces. They seem to be quality pieces. I am currently stretching the ear lobe openings from 0 to 00 so I can install the Tunnels. Great price. I will definitely order from you again.

Quality I couldn't be happier about my latest jewelry pieces. My old tunnels (which I purchased in haste, and before finding Chain Gang), were made of thin material, wouldn't stay tightened, and lost their luster quickly. My new tunnels are extremely well made, I don't have the problem of the thread stripping when I take them out to clean, and speaking of clean, these things SHINE!
Be good to yourself. Buy quality body jewelry, which you can find here. When people stare-whether it's to criticize (lol) or admire-you want to look your best!!(Posted on 2/29/12)

Quality First, I would like to thank you for the excellent service. I wear large guage piercings and requires more time because of the manufacturing. I have purchased straight barbells and deluxe insertion tapers along with different gauges of surgical steel flesh tunnels..
The products I have received are exceptional in quality, very satisfied.
I had recently purchased some products from another source. Very disappointed! They were packaged in one large plastic bag, not labeled, and wrapped in newspaper.....stuffed into a envelope, with the name of their company....very disappointed that they were not more discreet....
I am very happy with your products and the shipping is very good.
Wish I could find a larger diameter for the deluxe taper...would like to be able to strecth to an inch..
Thank you! Don(Posted on 2/29/12)

Quality I recently purchased a SS flesh tunnel in 9/16\" gauge...It\'s perfect...
It works and feels great, exactly as expected from The Chain Gang...(Posted on 2/29/12)
