field matters more than ever

Pete Fiutak
When Notre Dame and Michigan waged its battle for the ages in one of the most thrilling regular season games ever played, it
was obviously big because it was Notre Dame vs. Michigan.
But it meant even more.When Oklahoma plays Florida State this weekend, it'll be to see if the Seminoles are ready to get back to the elite level.
When Ohio State goes to Miami, it'll be to see if the Canes can somehow recapture their past glory for one more moment, and to see if it's business as usual for the Buckeyes.
But more than anything else for the two big games coming up, it's about
jockeying for position when it comes to reshuffling and reestablishing
who the real superpowers are, just as the conferences are scrambling to
set up their superconference scenarios.
It's impossible to become a college football superpower; it's even harder to stay one; and it's truly tough to try to get back after falling.
As the business news of college football changes by the day, and
programs don't know what other programs in the conference are thinking
in this multi-billion dollar cat and mouse game, being a superpower
right now, more than ever, means everything. Being a superpower means
winning the biggest of the big games on the biggest stages and holding
the most cards in the court of public opinion and perception.
These big games really, really, really matter during the backchannel
discussions and the negotiations currently going on. Conference
realignment is a business story, not a sports story, but on-field
production makes the sports story part of the business story. When it
comes to the TV dollars about to be involved for the next few decades,
and when it comes to where teams want to be and what the best fit might
be financially, perception on the field is perception in the boardroom.
It's all tied together. The better the conference deal, the more money
will come in. More money means better facilities. Better facilities
means better recruits, and with the better teams means more money to
keep the cycle going. That's what the Pac-12 has figured out better than
anyone, and that's why several of the league's programs want to expand
even further to bring in the bigger paydays to be able to upgrade the
facilities to an Oregon or SEC-like level of plush. But that money comes
from TV, and TV likes the biggest of the big name teams.
Despite the two losses to open this season, the signs are there that
Brian Kelly has the pieces in place to make the Irish real, live players
in the national title discussion down the road, while Michigan has the right guy at the right time in Brady Hoke. That's why last Saturday night in Ann Arbor mattered; it felt like it was the reemergence of two superpowers, even if they don't quite reach their expectations or goals for another year or two.
A strong Michigan does wonders for the Big Ten, while a great Notre Dame
does wonders for all of college football. When the star programs are
good, everyone gets fat, and being able to sell exciting and talented
Michigan and Notre Dame teams ups the ante that much more.
And this weekend, other big names are auditioning to show whether or not
they can be counted on to bring in the big audiences down the road, too.
Miami hasn't been a superpower for years, but there's still the name recognition and the belief that it can be back to the way things used to be with the right coach and the right recruiting classes. The problem is that the game has changed for
the football program, and Al Golden can't do the things Butch Davis was
able to during the reconstruction. If Miami gets blown away by Ohio
State, considering the possible NCAA sanctions coming up, it's going to
be hard to think the program can ever get back to being a superpower. A
mediocre Miami hurts the ACC, and a hurt ACC might make Florida State
and Virginia Tech more interested in taking off. Again, it's all about
the perception at the immediate moment, because that's what most of the
conference big-wigs are going by when it comes to TV deals.
For Florida State, if it beats No. 1 Oklahoma, combined with the rising stock
under head coach Jimbo Fisher, the school's stock will shoot through the
roof, giving the school even more leverage to try to get a better deal either as the anchor of the ACC or as part of the SEC. A win over OU suddenly makes FSU even more attractive to a conference's TV package, just like having a down Miami hurts whatever deal the ACC comes up with next.
For Oklahoma, if it rocks Florida State and is even more firmly entrenched as the top team in the country, watch how
the Pac-12 really starts to drool. Don't think that perception doesn't matter at the immediate moment when it comes to all the talks and all the discussions, because that's the way OU is playing it. Bob Stoops and the Oklahoma administration are selling the on-field success of
Sooner football, and they're going to try to strike when the iron is
hottest. If you think Oklahoma has the Big 12 over a barrel right now,
watch what happens if it comes back from Tallahassee with a win.
And then there's Texas, who appears to be lousy again at the worst
possible time.
Texas is a whale for any conference to land no matter what the record is at the end of this year. However, if the team really is as average as it looked against Rice and BYU, and if Mack Brown is in for another rough season, the bargaining power
could change just enough to alter the negotiations. It's hard to be an arrogant superpower after coming off two lousy years.
and while the Pac-12 and Big Ten would take Texas in a heartbeat, the
dynamics would change since it's not always a given that a national
title-level program will rebound right away.
A Big 12 anchored by a Texas that's merely above average isn't going to cut it, especially if Oklahoma and Oklahoma State bail to the Pac-12. The Big East is just itching to take the Big 12's also-ran programs, and if Texas appears wounded and on a downward track like Michigan after Lloyd Carr retired, or Florida State in the 2000s, or USC after its sanctions, or Miami after Larry Coker, or Oklahoma after Charles Thompson, or Nebraska after hiring Bill Callahan, or Notre Dame after Lou Holtz lost it, then Missouri, Iowa State, Kansas, and Kansas State will be that much more interested in bailing.
More than anything else, and beyond all the business talk, college football is better when there are lots and lots of great
big-name programs. It's better when Notre Dame and Michigan are good. It's better when Oklahoma vs. Texas means something. It's better when Florida State vs. Miami
is good enough to stop the world.
The conferences know that, the networks know that, and the advertisers know that. The stakes are high on the field this weekend like never before. Now let's hope we get another Notre Dame
vs. Michigan type of game to match the importance off the field – but maybe with a little better defense.

Full Spectrum Warrior began as a training aid for the U.S. Army to reinforce Army doctrine and team effort within the troops. It is the most realistic portrayal of contemporary urban warfare. Players become the Squad Leader, commanding Alpha and Bravo squads. There is potential for danger down every alley, behind every window. It's not about how many kills you have, it's about getting your men home in one piece!

Full Spectrum Warrior
Sadly, the game is too short and too easy and lacks the most fun part of the Xbox version; the Army-mode. When you want to try this out and have both consoles, make sure to buy the Xbox version.

Bar-spangled manor
Kerri Mixon's Lemon Grove home is colorfully stocked with a wealth of her homemade scented soaps
Ingredients sold at the store include a number of items produced from plants grown in Mixon and Perez's home garden.
These include lemon verbena, nine different types of lavender, as well as rose, ginger and mint geraniums. The plants can be used to make scents for the soaps, or dried and crushed to add texture and decoration.
On the weekends Perez heads to the La Mesa farmers market, where he sells soaps from two companies he and his wife created.
The first, Pallas Athene Soap, began in 2000 as a vegan product line with only plant-based colorants and fragrances.
Mixon says the second line, Pandora's Artistic Soap, allows for more "artistic freedom" with the use of animal byproducts, such as beeswax and milk.
Over the years, Mixon's companies grew steadily. She is now sought after by individuals interested in both the creative and business aspects of the soap industry.
When Mixon isn't busy making large batches of client favorites or customized bars of soap for small parties, she is teaching one of her Sunday afternoon classes. The classes range from the basics of making soap to turning the craft into a business.
"We have business and chemical processing classes, and classes that explain how to cultivate the plants used in soaps," Mixon said. "From time to time, we also have special guest instructors who teach things like how to make lotion."
The "Soapmaking 220" class teaches various ways to color the bars and add scent.
The three-hour "220" session was reminiscent of a high school chemistry class, with containers of lye, essential oils and a large "steam distillation unit" lined up on Mixon's kitchen counter. The distillation unit extracts the essential oils from plants, which are then used as fragrances in scented soaps.
Soap makers take advantage of a variety of molds, herbs and other ingredients to add their own creative touches to their products.
"There are many things you can do with making soap — from the scents, to the colors, to the amount of lather you want," Mixon said. "It is such an addictive hobby. I have never known a person who tried it and then quit."
firstname.lastname@example.com • (619) 293-1882

Networking event: Mixon will host a free networking soap maker's luncheon that is open to the public at Marie Callender's restaurant, 6950 Alvarado Road, at 2 p.m. on July 15.

Summer Cocktail Recipe: Campari Mojito
Recipes from The Kitchn
What do you collect when you travel? I have an acquisitive soul; linens and tiny ceramics and jewelry just happen to get squirreled away in my bags. But I've found that the best souvenirs of travel are the lightest to carry. When I travel, I look for new things to learn, like the soufflé I picked up in Paris, and the duck magret in Nice. My husband and I have also acquired cocktail recipes quite often in our travels, and I hardly need to tell you that these are my favorites.
We just picked up a new one, a very summery cocktail from an unexpected place. It's a fizzy concoction of mint, lime, rum, and a hit of grapefruit from my favorite neon orange bottle. It's a little sweet, a little bitter, and totally, totally refreshing. This is my cocktail of the summer, folks.
How to Make Tabbouleh Salad with Bulgur, Quinoa, or Cracked Wheat
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Tabbouleh is one of those dishes that lends itself towards improvisation, which is both a blessing and a curse. The blessing is that we can feel free to throw it together without a lot of stress and worry, which has resulted in many delicious, creative variations. The curse is that this kind of abandon can lead to the essence of an herb-intense tabbouleh getting lost. My favorite version of tabbouleh straddles tradition and innovation: it's heavy on the traditional herbs but brings the bulgur more forward as well. Here's how I make it!
Go Wild! 7 Recipes With Wilder, More Nutritious Herbs and Greens
Recipes from The Kitchn
Yesterday Cambria shared an interesting, slightly alarming New York Times article about the lack of nutrients in modern supermarket produce compared to their wilder, less domesticated ancestors. I'm choosing not to become depressed by this news and am focusing instead on the bright side: Fresh herbs, green onions and wilder greens like arugula are a great source of the nutrients bred out of many current produce varieties. Here are seven ways to eat these wildly nutritious, wildly tasty herbs and greens.

How To Chiffonade Fresh Basil Leaves
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Chiffonade is a very pretty word for the very simple process of slicing basil or any other delicate herb into very thin ribbons. The word sounds as light and airy as the spirals of basil themselves. A chiffonade of basil is also an easy way to add a bright touch of green — and the fresh taste of basil — to your spring and summer dishes.

5 Wonderful Ways To Use Lemon Verbena
Last weekend I hosted a small dinner party in my apartment. (You'll hear all about it next week!)

Environmentalists criticised reactor as being too expensive and an impossible and dangerous dream
The controversial French EPR at Flamanville in France has once again run into trouble, with the French nuclear watchdog the Nuclear Safety Authority (Agence de surete nucleaire) calling for a halt in work, according to reports appearing in the French press.
EDF, the French engineer-operator of the plant, has admitted that it has received a warning from the French Ministry of Labour but rejected reports that said construction had been forcibly halted.
The gigantic reactor capable of producing 1650 Megawatts of power has had teething problems ever since work first began almost eight years ago. Initially expected to go on stream in 2012, the reactor is now slated to become operational in 2016 with a corresponding rise in cost – from an initial € 3.3 billion to an estimated € 9 billion. Not a single EPR reactor is currently operating. The plant in Olkiouoto in Finland, delayed by several years has yet to be commissioned and the Finnish operator TVO is locked in a bitter arbitration battle to the tune of € 2.7 billion with French nuclear giant Areva, the designer of the troubled reactor.
Escalating cost
India is currently negotiating the unit cost of power for two EPRs to be built at Jaitapur in Maharashtra. The cost of the reactor has jumped from an estimated € 3.3 billion in 2007 to over € 8 billion now. It is likely to cross € 9 billion next year. Environmentalists have criticised the reactor as being too expensive, too gigantic and an impossible and dangerous dream. But French authorities have pegged ahead with the controversial project, work on which has been halted several times following conformity warnings from the French nuclear watchdog and accidents including on-site deaths.
"There is real danger at the heart of the EPR in Flamanville [northern France] which EDF has chosen to ignore, failing to respond to the many summations issued by the Agency . Finally, on 13 December, the Ministry of Works and Labour officially warned the engineer operator to take all necessary steps to remedy a situation dangerous for worker safety. Which means of course that delays and costs will rise even further for this gigantic project," the influential French website Mediapart reported.
An EDF spokesman confirmed that the Agency had pointed to over 15 cases of non-conformity in a machine at the heart of the reactor under construction.
"We have issued a provisional report and are going to issue a final report on the remedial action taken," the spokesman said. Earlier, the ASN had halted work when cracks appeared in the reactor's central dome because of faulty cladding and cementing.
Environmental specialists have questioned India's decision to firstly purchase the mega reactors and secondly locate them in Jaitapur, considered to lie in a seismic zone. Areva, the reactor's designer says the reactor has a double dome that ensures absolute safety.

"We treat old people so badly. There is nothing easy about 80."
The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, he was born in Philadelphia on April 27, 1922, and began his acting career in college drama (Carnegie Institute of Technology). After serving in the Army during World War II, he went on to summer stock and off-Broadway, rooming with fellow actor Charles Bronson as both looked for paying jobs.
He made his Broadway debut in 1952 in a revival of "Golden Boy." His film credits included Sidney Lumet's "12 Angry Men" and Blake Edwards' "Days of Wine and Roses" and an early television highlight was appearing with Humphrey Bogart and Henry Fonda in a production of "The Petrified Forest."
His performance in the classic 1959 musical "Gypsy" brought him a Tony nomination for best featured (supporting) actor in a musical.
He also appeared in several episodes of "The Twilight Zone," including a memorable 1963 one in which he played a negligent father whose son is seriously wounded in Vietnam. His other TV shows included "The Defenders" and the soap opera "The Greatest Gift."
Throat cancer took away his raspy voice for several years in the 1980s. When he was back on the stage for a 1993 revival of "Three Men on a Horse," The Associated Press review said, "His voice may be a little scratchy but his timing is as impeccable as ever."
"The only really stupid thing I ever did in my life was to start smoking," he said in 1996. Seeing people smoking in television and films, he added, "disgusts me, it makes me so angry — kids are watching."
In his later years, he guest-starred on TV series including "Third Watch" and "Crossing Jordan" and appeared in a 2010 theatrical film, "Camera Obscura."
Klugman's wife, actress-comedian Brett Somers, played his ex-wife, Blanche, in the "Odd Couple" series. The couple, who married in 1953 and had two sons, Adam and David, had been estranged for years at the time of her death in 2007.
In February 2008, at age 85, Klugman married longtime girlfriend Peggy Crosby.

I am also interested in this theme. Small bug, the homepage/category Add to Cart button doesn't work. It takes to the product page rather the mini cart.
Also what customization is available in the admin area?
Thank you
hi, it's not a bug. i think product to which you checked it has some options. If product has some options, it can't add to mini cart directly. you can check it on products which haven't options.
and about customization nothing available about this theme in the admin area.
Hi, is possible to include a Video in the article?
Thank very much.
yes it's possible. you can test from here.http://themes.hsyn.org/whiteshop/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=4
Thank you very much but i mean seft-host?
yes of course it's possible. but you must upload your videos via ftp because opencart doesn't have any options for video uploading. maybe on opencart extension page has some extension for video uploading. you must check it.

1. layered png. i hope find files with each element in different layer. u provide all in one. 2. html files. they are not inside the package. can u plase send it to me? email@example.com
Thank you for purchasing my theme.
1. about layered png. i didn't use any layered png. this work was created just with css.
2. this work doesn't contain html files. the package contains opencart theme files, pngs (not elements) and documentation files.
If you have any questions please feel free to email via my user page or from here.

Replace expensive resolver-to-digital conversion solutions with TI's new C2000 Microcontroller Resolver Kit
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 11 April 2014 Release date- 10042014 - HOUSTON - Today Texas Instruments (NASDAQ: TXN) announces its first programmable microcontroller solution to handle resolver-to-digital decoding: TheC2000 MCU Resolver Kit.
Because the resolver is an analog, rotary electrical transformer, it has historically required an application-specific circuit - which can be costly and space consuming - to convert to digital signals for use by a digital processor in a control system. However, TI's new C2000 MCU Resolver Kit shows designers how to implement the digital conversion using software on programmable C2000 MCUs, saving system cost and space in a variety of industrial applications, including robotics, servo drives, automation, avionics and transportation.
Features and benefits of the C2000 MCU Resolver Kit: Replaces expensive, dedicated resolver-to-digital chipsets with low-cost MCUs to simplify and reduce cost in systems.
Extends functionality by allowing an MCU to handle resolver-to-digital decoding, as well as other software programmable real-time functions, such as additional analog-to-digital converter (ADC) sampling and processing, encoder and hall interfaces, digital signal processing (DSP) front-end, state logic, tasks to assist with functional safety and full control loops.
Provides complete hardware and consists of a C2000 controlCARD-compatible printed circuit board (PCB) with on-board JTAG emulation for software debug, a resolver interface with filtering, UART and SPI interfaces, four digital-to-analog converter (DAC) outputs for debug and a 15V power supply.
Includes software and hardware development packages: Software: Free download of C2000 controlSUITE and Code Composer Studio integrated development environment (IDE), an Eclipse-based IDE for embedded software development.
Hardware: Full build of materials, schematics and PCB design files.
Supports four software project variants running on three different C2000 controlCARDs (all purchased separately):TMDSCNCD28335 (floating-point), TMDSCNCD28035 (fixed-point) or parallel control law accelerator (CLA) and TMDSCNCD28027 (fixed-point).
Pricing and availability The C2000 MCU Resolver Kit (TMDSRSLVR) is available today for $179 USD. C2000 controlCARDs are available separately starting at $49. The controlSUITE software and documentation are available for download. The C2000 MCUs capable of running the resolver software are available starting from $1.85 USD 1ku SRP (TMS320F280200).

Toasted oak shines through a bouquet of campfire smoke, sweetgrass, apricot preserves and ripe mango. A delicate sweetness in the mouth is balanced by savory, meaty flavors and a touch of tropical fruit. A surprisingly smooth finish with plentiful mango undertones follows.
Slightly less smoky that the 10 year, with a smooth, peat-filled finish, 1/4 cask is downright delicious! If you are looking to introduce someone to Single Islay Malts, this is a perfect stepping stone into the bolder more pronounced flavors they bring!

I had a couple of Scottish friends over and we opened a 10 Year Laphroaig we bought in 2004 in Edinburgh. To my big surprise they did not like the smell or the taste at all! What makes this Whiskey so different from others and should I store it longer or did I keep it too long already?
Bernhard Keppler
Tasting Notes
COLOUR: Full sparkling goldNOSE: Burning embers of peat in a crofters fireplace, hints of coconut and banana aromasBODY: Full bodiedPALATE: Deep, complex and smoky yet offers and surprises the palate with a gentle sweetnessFINISH: Really long, and dries appropriately with smoke and spice
Technical Notes
The Laphroaig distillery was established in 1815 by Donald and Alexander Johnston. The Johnstons who founded Laphroaig were from the Clan Donald and are likely to be from the MacIain of Ardnamurchan branch of the clan. The family anglicized their name to Johnston
The distillery was sold to Long John International in the 1960s, and subsequently became part of Allied Domecq The brand was in turn acquired by Fortune Brands in 2005, as one of the brands divested by Pernod Ricard in order to obtain regulatory approval for its takeover of Allied Domecq. Fortune Brands then split up its business product lines in 2011, forming its spirits business into Beam Inc.

Expatriate Gets Sixty Months in Prison
by Terri Eyden on printer friendly
Dr. Ellen Meredith Stubenhaus, previously of Lake Worth, Florida, and later an expatriate living in Costa Rica, was sentenced to sixty months in prison June 29 by U.S. District Judge M. Casey Rodgers in Tallahassee, Florida, the Justice Department and IRS announced.
Stubenhaus, who was extradited from Costa Rica to the United States in September 2011, had previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the United States. In addition to her jail sentence, Stubenhaus was sentenced to three years of supervised release and ordered to pay restitution of $373,549 to the IRS.
According to the plea agreement and court records, Stubenhaus was a salesperson with Pinnacle Quest International (also known as PQI or Quest International). PQI was a multilevel marketing organization that operated a marketplace for a variety of vendors. Trial evidence in related cases showed that between 2002 and 2008, PQI had over 11,000 members throughout the United States.
Stubenhaus admitted in court records that several PQI vendors sold bogus theories and strategies for tax evasion. She utilized the services and schemes of these fraudulent vendors to conceal her own income from selling PQI vendor products and PQI memberships. She also admitted to helping the principals of PQI conceal PQI's income.
Offshore Tax Avoidance Schemes
Some of the most popular methods of repatriating funds include:
- Credit cards that simply draw on the U.S. taxpayer's offshore account.
- Loans from mystery offshore lenders.
- Loans from domestic lenders in amounts beyond the taxpayer's apparent borrowing power (may be secured by offsetting deposits of offshore funds).
- Use of property titled to offshore entities at zero or below-market rental.
- Bogus transactions designed simply to transfer funds to or from offshore entities, such as sales of property to offshore entities in jurisdictions where it is unlikely the property will actually be used or sold.
- Gifts.
- Scholarships for taxpayer's children.
- "Payable through" accounts.
Source: IRS
As Stubenhaus admitted in the statement of facts, one of the vendors operating under the PQI umbrella was the Southern Oregon Resource Center for Education (SORCE), which assisted its customers in the creation of a series of nominee business entities in the United States and Panama. The CEO of SORCE, Eugene "Gino" Casternovia, is serving a seven-year prison sentence after being convicted at trial of conspiracy to defraud the United States and to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering. His case is currently on appeal.
Court documents also showed that another PQI vendor was MYICIS, a computerized "warehouse bank." MYICIS was a single bank account in which customers secretly pooled their money under the control of a single individual, Wayne Hicks. MYICIS had 3,000 clients and approximately $100 million in deposits over a three-year period. MYICIS was promoted to PQI's clients as a method to hide their assets from the IRS as a result of the secret, pooled nature of the account. Hicks is currently serving a five-year sentence after pleading guilty to conspiracy to defraud the United States.
According to the plea agreement and statement of facts, Stubenhaus established nominee corporations in Panama using the services of SORCE. She then opened a sub-account within the MYICIS warehouse bank in the name of one of her offshore corporations. Substantial portions of the income Stubenhaus earned from selling PQI memberships and PQI's various vendor products was routed through the warehouse bank account, thereby concealing it from the depository bank and from the IRS. From there, Stubenhaus wired significant amounts of money offshore. She also used the warehouse bank to transfer significant sums to the principals of PQI, representing the organization's share of the profits from Stubenhaus's sales of PQI memberships. Stubenhaus also did not file federal income tax returns or pay income taxes while she was affiliated with PQI.

14 CFR 29.1043 - Cooling tests.
(a) General. For the tests prescribed in § 29.1041(c), the following apply:
(1) If the tests are conducted under conditions deviating from the maximum ambient atmospheric temperature specified in paragraph (b) of this section, the recorded powerplant temperatures must be corrected under paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section, unless a more rational correction method is applicable.
(2) No corrected temperature determined under paragraph (a)(1) of this section may exceed established limits.
(3) The fuel used during the cooling tests must be of the minimum grade approved for the engines, and the mixture settings must be those used in normal operation.
(4) The test procedures must be as prescribed in §§ 29.1045 through 29.1049.
(5) For the purposes of the cooling tests, a temperature is "stabilized" when its rate of change is less than 2 °F per minute.
(b) Maximum ambient atmospheric temperature. A maximum ambient atmospheric temperature corresponding to sea level conditions of at least 100 degrees F. must be established. The assumed temperature lapse rate is 3.6 degrees F. per thousand feet of altitude above sea level until a temperature of −69.7 degrees F. is reached, above which altitude the temperature is considered constant at −69.7 degrees F. However, for winterization installations, the applicant may select a maximum ambient atmospheric temperature corresponding to sea level conditions of less than 100 degrees F.
(c) Correction factor (except cylinder barrels). Unless a more rational correction applies, temperatures of engine fluids and powerplant components (except cylinder barrels) for which temperature limits are established, must be corrected by adding to them the difference between the maximum ambient atmospheric temperature and the temperature of the ambient air at the time of the first occurrence of the maximum component or fluid temperature recorded during the cooling test.
(d) Correction factor for cylinder barrel temperatures. Cylinder barrel temperatures must be corrected by adding to them 0.7 times the difference between the maximum ambient atmospheric temperature and the temperature of the ambient air at the time of the first occurrence of the maximum cylinder barrel temperature recorded during the cooling test.

The Dec. 21-23 ice storm and the damage it caused may cost Oakville up to $3 million, said Town officials Tuesday.
Mayor Rob Burton and other Town staff met with the Oakville Beaver at Town Hall to discuss the clean-up efforts and price tag associated with getting Oakville back to normal.
"We are at the front end of a very long clean up that we estimate is going to take months," said Burton.
The storm wreaked havoc across southern Ontario bringing down power lines, snapping trees and leaving residents sitting in the dark.
Oakville Hydro President and CEO Rob Lister said of hydro's 65,000 customers, 45,000 experienced a power outage at some point during the storm.
At the peak of the power outages on Dec. 23, some 29,000 customers were without electricity.
Lister said power was restored to Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital by about mid-afternoon on that day.
By the end of Christmas Day, fewer than 10 customers were still without power.
And as of Jan. 7, only one customer had yet to be reconnected, but was deciding whether to install an underground service on his property.
To date, Lister said $450,000 has been spent restoring power in town. He said that would climb another $100,000 as Oakville Hydro assists with tree clean up.
Costs could also rise because of additional damage from the storm. Lister said on Jan. 2, approximately 9,000 customers in northwest Oakville lost electricity because of ice accumulation on an overhead switch.
On Saturday, Jan. 4, 600 customers in southeast Oakville lost power after a branch fell on a power line and on Friday, Jan. 3, another 6,000 customers in the Upper Middle Road and Eighth Line area were without hydro because of an underground cable fault.
To keep Oakville's roads clear during the storm, the Town's Director of Roads and Works Operations Enrico Scalera said plow crews dropped 2,300 tonnes of salt. Scalera noted his department spent $300,000 during the storm.
That figure includes some brush pickup, in addition to clearing snow and ice, Scalera said.
The Roads and Works Operations Department has been picking up curbside brush that is too large for the Region to collect. These brush pickups are weather dependent, so they are delayed if roads need clearing. It will likely end up costing $100,000. They will continue through the spring so residents with large tree debris on their property are asked to email email@example.com to coordinate collection. That's in addition to efforts by the Town's Forestry staff.
"The initial response was related to public safety. We received many, many calls and our focus was trees and limbs that were over power lines; trees and limbs that were blocking roads; we had many roads that were blocked and many lanes that were blocked; and trees that were blocking people's driveways," said Chris Mark, Town director of Parks and Open Space.
"We've responded to more than 600 high-priority work orders. I'm not sure how many calls we've actually responded to for hydro… The forestry crews really went ahead of the hydro crews to clear the power lines so (they) could get back in and do a reconnection."
Mark said forestry crews drove up and down every street, scouting for damaged branches hanging over roads, sidewalks and power lines.
Town staff are currently inspecting trees in neighbourhood parks to identify and eliminate hazards, he said. That job may take weeks.
Town trails and woodlots will remain closed until further notice, but Mark said he hopes inspections will begin by the end of this month.
So far, Mark said his department has spent $325,000 cleaning up the storm damage.
That total is expected to climb to the $2 million range as Mark said the degree of damage and work that needs to be done in the Town's parks, trails and woodlots is still unknown.
He also warned the Town is expecting more damage when spring approaches. Branches, weakened by the ice and snow, could snap under the weight of growing leaves. This means residents should be prepared for more power outages. Mark asks residents to report damaged branches to Service Oakville at 905-845-6601.
Oakville Fire Department Deputy Fire Chief Andy Glynn said fire crews responded to 215 calls for assistance during the storm. The calls ranged from fire alarms set off by the cold to burning hydro poles.
Glynn suggests residents have a family emergency plan and necessary supplies in place to get them through 72 hours.
He also wants residents to be aware that lighting a fire or using any kind of fossil fuel-powered appliance inside a home can create a dangerous build up of carbon monoxide.
Having a working carbon monoxide detector within the home is essential and now the law, he said.
The cost of the storm and how it will be funded will be on the agenda at the Town's Jan. 27 council meeting.
"Obviously, a lot of that money is not budgeted. We will be looking at the means, through our emergency reserves, how we can manage this storm without any direct increase in the 2014 taxes," said Town CAO Ray Green. "I believe we can accommodate the expenditures through reserves and other changes during the year."
And it's far from over. Weather continued to cause problems in Oakville this week.
Due to the extreme cold, the Town cancelled crossing guards for the lunch hour and said service would be sporadic at the end of the school day Tuesday. It also warned crossing guard service may be affected again today (Wednesday), depending on the weather.
Yesterday, Halton Region suspended waste collection in Oakville due to the cold. Those scheduled for Tuesday pickup are asked to place waste at the curb this Saturday, Jan. 11.
