I have always been interested in Japan. I like to learn about Japan's history and culture. I watch Japanese shows and listen to Japanese music. One of my goals in life is to learn another language. Japanese is the obvious choice.
My name is Daniel Hamaty. I am 24 years old. I am moving to the Raleigh area to start a new job. I have been studying Japanese myself and I am looking for a place to practice speaking Japanese, meet people, and learn more about Japan's culture.

Publisher's Description
The Death Penalty, Environmentalism, Public Reason, Voting, Abortion. Where does Christian faith belong in discussions about these issues?
In Taking Christian Moral Thought Seriously, editor Jeremy A. Evans establishes that separation of church and state is not a principle of the United States Constitution (or any other founding document). Thus, there should be a social interest in not hindering any religious person's full participation in the American marketplace of ideas. As such, Evans addresses readers from both the Christian and non-Christian communities through the related scholarship here, knowing either side's failure to consider one's well-prepared thoughts in science, politics, and education undermines the very idea of seeking the truth.
Topics include:
* The death penalty
* John Rawls' theory of public reason
* Whether or not a non-voting stance is permissible for Christians
* Religious disagreement and its impact on the justification of religious beliefs
* How the current models of scientific explanation are not incompatible with religious beliefs
* Creation care—what is our responsibility to the environment?
* Are theologians and philosophers missing the point on the abortion problem?
Acclaim for Taking Christian Moral Thought Seriously:
"This is a long-overdue book. Although there are scores of accessible books written by Christian philosophers addressing traditional topics, such as God's existence, the problem of evil, and the miraculous, few have broached the areas of ethics, public reason and science while critically and respectfully engaging the most influential philosophers writing on these subjects. Professor Evans has managed to put together such a book. It is a model of clarity without sacrificing philosophical rigor. It is the sort of book that should be in the hands of any Christian desiring to engage the wider culture in an informed and thoughtful manner."
Francis J. Beckwith
Professor of Philosophy and Church-State Studies, Baylor University
"This text is a great place to get 'up to speed on aspects of crucial issues that we too seldom ever hear being discussed in evangelical circles."
Gary R. Habermas
Distinguished Research Professor, Liberty University & Theological Seminary
"Taking Christian Moral Thought Seriously truly models what the title itself expresses--a serious-minded, Christianly engagement of important moral and cultural themes. Without exception, each contributor writes with scholarly rigor, insight, and creativity. This book well illustrates how practical, robust, and explanatorily rich the Christian faith is."
Paul Copan
Professor and Pledger Family Chair of Philosophy and Ethics, Palm Beach Atlantic University

Released: November 2008
There aren't many great songs about platonic male-female friendship, but this is one. Taking a dreamy, presumably mashed-up chat as lyrical source matter, singer Ed Macfarlane perfectly captures that mood of late-night, saucer-eyed scheming: "I'll find you that French boy, you'll find me that French girl", he vows. "I promise, I'm on it". Yeah, right. You know it'll all be forgotten in the morning when the drugs wear off. But, in the moment, it all makes sense, and – for the listener as well as the two dreamers in the song - it all sounds impossibly romantic and exciting. (LL)

On your mark, get set, GO!!
Hello there! Like many people, I'm hesitant of online dating, but I figured I'd give it a try. I'm a high energy, motivated person. I enjoy traveling: went to grad school in Boston, taught in inner-city Philly, and have spent summers in Chicago and DC--all great experiences. The last 2 summers I lived on a boat for a week in the BVI's; waking up every morning on the water is incredible. The diving down there isn't so bad either! I also went on a missions trip to the Dominican Republic this year; that really helped to put life into perspective, and to remind me how truly fortunate I am. My family is a tight one, and I happen to adore my nephew and nieces. My parents are still extremely close, and have been a great example as to what a marriage should entail. I work in a school, and absolutely love it! It's amazing how much kids can teach you.I am definitely easy-going, but don't mistaken that for a lack of passion! I am extremely passionate and dedicated to the things that are important to me. I'm content at a fun, dressy night out or in a dive bar (or sometimes dressed up in that dive bar). I love to dance, hit the beach, boat, and sports. I have a very competitive, playful side. I love fall because its college football all day Saturday, and Pro on Sunday. I like fantasy football, and I dislike when people can't correctly use "you're and your." I'm a church girl on Sundays, and Ive come to realize that its much easier to get through life with a little bit of humor each day and a whole lot of faith.

Seventeen people have joined IEET's new Advisory Board. The purpose of this supportive group is to help us promote our mission, expand our community and infuse our progress with enthusiasm.
Dr. Roman Yampolskiy has joined the IEET as an Affiliate Scholar. Yampolskiy is a Tenured Associate Professor in the department of Computer Engineering and Computer Science at the Speed School of Engineering, University of Louisville. He is the founding and current director of the Cyber Security Lab and an author of many books including Artificial Superintelligence: a Futuristic Approach.
Solar power now provides roughly 1% of the world's electricity. It took 40 years to reach that milestone. But, as they say in tech, the first 1% is the hardest.
Psychedelic substances are resurging into the popular culture in ways unrivaled since the starry-eyed, long-haired baby boomers of the 1960's dropped acid and discovered peace and promiscuity. However, today's generation of visionary psychonauts are making a much more measured movement to the mainstream than the hundred thousand hippies who descended on San Francisco in 1967's summer of love.
Miss Metaverse (Katie Aquino) is a futurist consultant and founder of the Futurista™ agency, and startups FutureFriday.org and Awesome Future TV and she has been a guest on several podcasts, including Robot Overlordz, Inspireland, and On Air With Sir. She recently had an interview with Future/Culture on a variety of topics. Future/Culture is a magazine run by IEET Contributor Travis Leland.
Here is version 3.2 of the New God Argument, as it appears on the new website I published last week. Changes from version 3.1 include shortening of the main summary, addition of short summaries for each section, addition of a "decentralized" qualification on the destructive capacity mentioned in the Compassion Argument, and removal of the hyphen in "posthumanity".
There's a common belief that people who don't have jobs somehow just aren't trying hard enough, and this belief is therefore based on the idea that there are enough jobs for everyone. To get a job, all one really needs to do is just try hard enough.
"Just go get a job."
Our human brains obviously needs improvement, in multiple different capacities. But - what is the most important upgrade? Increased Rationality? Increased Empathy? Elevated Happiness?
I posed this question to members of IEET's new Advisory Board, and I received a variety of answers:
A single half-day training that teaches medical clinics how to provide better birth control can radically improve outcomes for patients, cutting unplanned pregnancies by half according to research published in the prestigious medical journal, The Lancet.
There are three interlocking statistical arguments concerning the nature of the universe in which we live and which provide what I believe to be a strongly convincing indication that our view of reality is seriously flawed on a massive scale. Let's begin by asking a simple question…
I remember once while on a trip to Arizona asking a long-time resident of Phoenix why anyone would want to live in such a godforsaken place. I wasn't at all fooled by the green lawns and the swimming pools and knew that we were standing in the middle of a desert over the bones of the Hohokam Indians whose civilization had shriveled up under the brutality of the Sonora sun. The person I was speaking to had a quick retort to my east coast skepticism.
I have mentioned mTOR as one of the main aging genes on multiple occasions. It's about time I tell you what it is, what it does and why it is so important in aging.
mTOR has a little m in front of TOR, which means I am speaking about mammals. It technically means «mechanistic» TOR, but think of it as the molecule that mice and all of us have, whereas in worms is it just TOR.
It's in the air. It's in the news.
Our struggling economy. Our struggling democracy. The income gap. Technology and artificial intelligence. At first glance, these things might not seem connected, but upon closer inspection, I find they're all part of one impulse, and together they create the web of humanity—and our future.
At almost any minute of any day, your life could change drastically. Our bodies are fragile, our destinies determined second-by-second. Snap your fingers. That's how suddenly what you have come to expect for yourself, or a member of your family, could change as the result of an illness or accident. What would it mean in terms of work, mobility, relationship, identity? How quickly or slowly would you adapt to a drastically new state of reality?
A few years ago after voting I went back to my local elementary school where I was taught about liberty, and the "American way of life." The same old stories, same old lies. I went there to ask them to take down the massive confederate out-of-date flag of Georgia that was still flying since I went to school there.
When I hear that the conversation is about an ethical problem I anticipate that right now the people are going to put everything upside down and end with common sense. Appealing to ethics has always been the weapon of conservatism, the last resort of imbecility.
In one of my first IEET articles, State-by-State Gay Marriage Acceptance, written in September 2010, I predicted that gay marriage would become legal in all 50 United States by 2035, with Mississippi being the last holdout.
The Singularity is near! That's what a lot of us futurists have been planning for since we first came to understand the exponential growth rate of information technologies. What this technological singularity entails, however, is an entirely different question, and one of which requires radical thinking. One such author, C. James Townsend, has ventured himself on the quest of answering this very question – not just from a scientific or technological viewpoint, but equally an economic and political one as well!
Algorithms increasingly guide our daily life: Google's ranking algorithm pretty much decides which pages we visit, and therefore which information we access; Amazon's algorithm influences which books we read; dating algorithms decide your sexual life and possibly your marriage; the smartphone's navigation algorithm decides which streets we take; Yelp's algorithm decides where we eat (and it is a simple average!)
The small community of Kyarumba, Uganda, is located in the southern end of Rwenzori Mountains (aka Mountains of the Moon). It straddles a wild river that is prone to flooding. The community recently got electricity.

Hi theres, I have a question for all of you with a cerclage. I had mine done almost 3 weeks ago. I was 18 weeks with a shortening and funneling cervix. I had an emergency cerclage put in.
At first I had some pinching and strange twinges down there and assumed that was normal since it was healing. Now for the past few days Ive been getting this constant achiness down there. Its like a pinching but its not incredibly painful. I feel it if I moved or turn the wrong way..I am so nervous that something is going wrong and the stitch isnt holding..
I have no bleeding/leaking fluid or really any other pain besides what I feel down there. I do get some thick yellowish discharge which the doc said is normal. Could this just be a normal pain? Have any of you ladies gotten this pain with your cerclage?

Even though I'm German, I don't recognize this recipe but I have to say it is simple, delicious and filling. I half the recipe and bake in a small cast iron skillet right in the oven. Delicious ...
Egg-cellent and super easy to make. It's going to disappoint if you're expecting anything like an American-style pancake. The eggs give it an entirely different texture. We had ours with some...
i've made variations of this, called Dutch Pancake, Old World Pancake, etc...can do lots of things with it; it's great with apples too.

Recent reviews:
March 23, 2014 - I purchased this item because I thought it would be feminine looking yet the dark back ground will make it easier to clean. And I was hoping that the "sturdy" material would make it durable. I had read the reviews but I still purchased the item and on sale. When the item arrived indeed it was a very course material & it smelled like a combination of car exhaust & gasoline & cigarettes. GROSS! It is not worth the money & effort to mail the item back to your company. So I am going to have to bite the bullet on this one. Yet I wonder there has been negative reviews about this item for over a year and no one has done anything about it. Shame on you!
September 16, 2013 - I purchased two of these as gifts for a fellow survivor (a restaurant owner) and her cook. They look great! The aprons seem very sturdy too. I have not heard about any issues. I would recommend this apron to anyone who cooks much.
April 24, 2013 - Bought this apron for my mom, she wears it whenever cooking greasy foods and loves it
January 15, 2013 - wore and washed once IN COLD WATER and it faded terribly, wont wear it again!! Sad because it's cute.
December 18, 2012 - aprons were well received however the fabric is so stiff and after 2-3 washings it never softened up ... very heavy broadcloth which really isn't good for aprons

A Busy Mom's Guide to Meditating on a Passage of Scripture
A Busy Mom's Guide to Meditating on a Passage of Scripture
Excerpted from Women Living Well by Courtney Joseph. Copyright 2013 by Courtney Joseph. Used with permission from Thomas Nelson, Inc. All rights reserved.
Meditating is essentially soaking in God's Word. Like a sponge - sit and linger over God's Word. Take in the living water and be refreshed. Meditating goes hand in hand with memorization. If you are memorizing, then most likely you are also meditating. But it is possible to meditate and not memorize.
Squeeze every drip of nourishment out of the passage all day long through these short readings of Scripture. Meditate on God's Word day and night, and you will soon find your life transformed by the renewing of your mind! It is possible to set aside time to meditate no matter how busy you may be.

Cumbrian restaurant closes, owing £57,000 in rent
Last updated at 15:10, Monday, 11 February 2013
A popular Carlisle restaurant has closed – its entire contents having been spirited away in the middle of the night.
And now the landlord and owner are in bitter dispute over nearly £60,000 in rent and fixtures and fittings.
Last Wednesday morning, Teza in Botchergate was a fully functioning eatery, complete with tables, chairs, a fully equipped kitchen and exotic house plants, and framed pictures.
But by early the next day it had been completely stripped, with several discarded and crumpled red napkins the only clue to the previous history of the property.
Witnesses reported that men in vans arrived shortly before midnight on Wednesday, and spent four hours stripping the premises of its contents.
The landlord, London-based Workstone Limited, and the owner of the business, Guarav Sharma, are now locked in a bitter dispute over rent.
Mr Sharma, 43, who said he went into the restaurant business after leaving his job as a British Airways pilot for medical reasons, insists that he has done nothing wrong.
But Khal Moulem, the Carlisle-based agent for the landlord, insisted that the removed contents of the property belong to his client.
Bailiffs went into the restaurant last Thursday and posted a notice on to the front door, which said the tenant owes £56,700 in rent.
But Mr Sharma, a father-of-two, said: "I don't know what we're going to do now.
"Eight people worked at Teza and now they don't have their livelihoods. We put £200,000 into that business."
He insisted he had paid his rent regularly, but in his view the level of rent being demanded was too high.
He said: "I have two children, but I've had to take them out of their private school because I could no longer afford it.
"We couldn't continue to operate the [the business in those circumstances, and with that level of rent. We couldn't survive any more.
Mr Sharma claimed that the rent amounted to £1,700 a week – though that figure is disputed by the landlord.
"I requested that they reduce the rent a million times," added Mr Sharma, who is now living in London.
He claimed he left equipment worth £50,000 in the otherwise empty restaurant. Mr Moulem said: "We have decided to repossess the property because when we got in there it looks as if they've stripped the place.
"We have looked at the CCTV, and it shows a van arriving at midnight on Wednesday.
"Everything is now gone – chairs, tables, the hi-fi, drinks, even vases. We went in to protect what's left."
Mr Moulem said the landlord company takes the view that the contents of the building belong to it, and he said that he believes there may be documentation with Carlisle City Council to back that up.
Cumbria police confirmed today they had been informed that the locks at the premises were changed following an "incident" last Wednesday.

A node js midi data parser that blisfully ignores all hardware and networking.
#Midi Parser
This is a work in progress.
I needed to decode midi data for FirmataPi. I learned a lot from node-firmata, Essentials of the MIDI protocol and Control Systems for Live Entertainment which is a great book.
The midi-parser library is a node event emitter. You write midi commands in buffers and it emits both
midi and
sysex events.
The sysex events are unwrapped of their header and footer bytes and proveded as is. Since any multibyte data (eg strings) or values over 127 need to be "14 bit encoded". The class methods
decodeString and
encodeString are available.
The Midi handling is subject to change. Currently they are emitted as is on the
midi event. However the difference between channel and system commands and commands without data is still being worked out. Currently as long as data is continuing to be sent, all events will emit. However if you have a 1 byte command as the final command the parser will wait until another command is recieved before emitting that one.

Very happy with this plugin!! Excellent job! Small question i had was answered very quickly :-)
Hello! As you probably know, in all Europe we have the obligation of using the IBAN account instead the bank account number when making money transfers. My question or suggestion is that in the Contact Form 7 Plugin, only exist the Bank Account Number field but the field IBAN doesn´t appear. When do you think that this will be updated? Thanks in advance.
Great free Plugin Thanks!

Islamic finance is maturing, according to experts, and could be on the cusp of becoming a mainstream option. But there are still issues to be ironed out.
July 19, 2010 3:34 by kippreport
At a recent meeting in Dubai, lawyers from several international firms talked about the legal issues surrounding Islamic finance. In spite of their reputation, involvement from lawyers signifies maturation of the market. More than 75 countries are involved in Islamic finance, and there are consulting firms built around advising companies and banks about Shariah-compliance.
"Where we are in Islamic finance today is where [foreign exchange] was in 1971. We are on the cusp, technology is the next phase," the global head of Islamic finance for Thomson Reuters, Rushdi Siddiqui, says.
But while these developments give reasons to hope that Islamic financing will soon move from an alternative to a mainstream option, the market still faces critical challenges. Experts say a lack of consistent rulings on Shariah compliance, short supply of Shariah scholars, isolation from broader financial markets, and constraints on the time-frame of debt instruments are major challenges to the growth of Islamic finance.
"The problem with religious scholars is they don't understand Islamic financing," the executive vice president of corporate finance for Saudi's giant industrial firm Sabic, Mutlaq Al Morished, says.
Finding people who are both Islamic scholars and have a deep understanding of financial tools and how they work is proving to be one of the most difficult problems to overcome, and often leads to the confusion over different instruments. "The availability of high-quality scholars is the biggest deficit," the head of Islamic products at Barclays Capital and Barclays Wealth, Harris Irfan, says.

The IAGT Committee shall not be responsible for statements or opinions advanced in technical papers or in Symposium or meeting discussions Bumpless Steam and Power Switching Author; Donald Wolanick Manager, Power North American Operations Talisman Energy Inc. I have more then 30 years of experience in the electrical field though various companies, ATCO Electric, Renaissance Energy, Husky Energy, and now in my current position with Talisman Energy Canada. I joined Talisman in January 2001 as the Power Manager for North American Operation and assumed the responsibilities of managing their electrical portfolio which includes, preparing the annual power budget, purchasing and sales of power, scrutinizing utility bills, Quality Management Plan Administer, demand side management administrator, building and maintaining 25 kV distribution systems, maintenance planning on the 240 kV transmission substation, and the design and completion of the Edson Cogen.

Hydro Power Smart Program Member of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Member of The Alberta Society of Engineering Technologists (ASET) Executive Summary Industrial sites using steam and electricity to drive their processes are now finding they have options as to their energy supplier. The traditional method of package boilers combined with a Utility power is being challenged by the introduction of Cogeneration Facilities. In the past Cogeneration was not aggressively considered as the rules for interconnection made projects uneconomical or interconnection was just not allowed. Now that most Utilities across North America are encouraging Cogeneration Plants a new partner to Industry has emerged. The question now is what are the Risks and Rewards with having a Cogen Facility within a production Plant. The combination of Utility power with package boilers has proven to be fairly reliable and has an initial capital cost less then a Cogen Facility. The capital payout period for Cogen's are highly dependent upon fuel and power prices, and is subject to market conditions outside the control of the project. This uncertainty in long-term fuel and power prices drives a discounted price when performing initial economics. Although there are several side benefits associated with Cogen's, the one we found to attract the most interest was "bumpless transfer on both steam and power". If we could design a Cogen Facility that could (a) transfer power between it's own supply and the grid without any interruption and, (b) transfer steam production from it's turbines to duct burners again without any interruption in service, we could increase the reliability of the Production Plant. Using historical data on lost production as a result of power outages can add to the economic benefits of a Cogen Facility. This paper illustrates the design we used to implement a "Bumpless Transfer of Both Power and Steam" within our Edson Gas Plant. -2- Bumpless Steam and Power Switching Table of Contents 1.0 Project Background …………………………………………………………… 4 2.0 Bumpless Engineering Design.……….………………………………………. 6 2.1 Bumpless Steam Switching..……………………………………….……..…... 7 2.2 Bumpless Power Switching ..….…………………………………………….... 9 2.3 Bumpless Power System Upgrades …………………..……………….…… 10 3.0 Trip scenarios ……….....…………………………………….…..…………… 13 Appendix Appendix A – Project Flow Diagram ………………………………………………. 12 Appendix B – Fortis Alberta SLD Diagram ……………………..…………………. 14 References. ………………..…………………………....…….…..…………………. 15 -3- TALISMAN COGEN PROJECT Bumpless Steam and Power Switching 1.0 Project Background Talisman Energy Canada is the operator of the Edson Gas Plant (SW ¼ 11-53-18-W5M) on behalf of the working interest owners and holds the majority ownership with 59.43 %. Talisman Energy Inc. became an owner of the Gas Plant in 1993 with the acquisition of Encor Energy Inc. At that time, the plant was processing approximately 150 mmcf/d. With capital additions and strategic decisions, Talisman has increased inlet volumes to around 200 mmcf/d. The plant has become a "hub", producing gas through 9 inlet lines and shipping gas through 3 sales lines. Talisman's acquisition of the Central Foothills and Minehead lines has increased the reliability of gas streams and has extended the operated capture area to over 100 townships in one of the most active gas drilling areas in the province. The plant is ideally suited for a cogeneration plant since it has a high steam and power requirement with a ready supply of gas. One of the major considerations in the Project is the reliability and control of the steam supply. The Gas Plant has a maximum steam requirement of 200,000 pounds per hour, and must maintain a minimum of 75,000 pounds per hour to avoid flaring. The basic principle of the Project is to ensure two sources of steam, each with the ability to supply a minimum of 75,000 pounds per hour and a maximum combined total of 200,000 pounds per hour. The redundancy required is of major concern to Talisman Energy Canada to minimize the environmental risk associated with flaring. Although Talisman Energy did initially investigate using third party suppliers to own the Cogen, the decision was made to retain 100 % ownership of the Cogen. The Edson Cogen plant consists of two trains, each train consisting of a Solar Taurus 60 turbine complete with a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG). Each turbine is capable of producing 5MW of electrical power at 4160V and each HRSG is capable of producing 100,000 lbs of steam. All of the power produced is sold to the Alberta Power Pool at the hourly spot price, and the Edson Gas Plant buys its power requirements (approximately 7.5 MW) at the same spot price. Gas Supply 100 k lb/hr Steam 100 k lb/hr Power from the Generators will be sold to the Power Pool. Sales Meter Edson Plant Power will be supplied by Fortis -4- The exhaust from each turbine flows through an associated HRSG designed to produce 100,000 lb/hr of 600 psi superheated steam for use within the Edson plant. Approximately 40% of the heat duty required in the HRSG's is supplied by the turbine exhausts and 60% by supplementary duct firing. The duct burners are sized to provide the full heat duty if the turbine exhaust heat is not available. The plant presently consumes 160,000 lb/hr of 600psi steam but this figure is expected to increase in the future as more sour gas is processed. For maximum efficiency we will fire the turbines at 100% duty and the duct burners will modulate to maintain steam pressure. Train 1 is a 300HP Induced Draft (ID) fan HRSG. The fan is driven by a steam turbine and operates continuously at slow roll. Train 2 is a 150HP Forced Draft (FD) fan HRSG. The fan is driven by an electric motor and is not normally running. Each Cogen train is equipped with it's own diverter (bypass) stack and isolation dampers. Each HRSG can operate with or without its turbine running and each turbine can operate in simple cycle without its HRSG firing. Each train can transition from simple to combined cycle without shutting down. Alternate Air intake Fresh Air Intake Max. 100,000 lbs/hr The duct burners in the HRSG make up the additional steam as required by the plant Fuel Gas 39% Turbine The Turbine produces the first 25,000 61% HRSG lbs/hr steam from exhaust heat Steam Production 25% Turbine 75% HRSG -5- 2.0 Bumpless Engineering Design Why was bumpless transfer of the steam and electric systems so important to our project? The answer is simple, reliability. The Edson Gas Plant had three package boilers with the ability of using a combination of any two of the three to keep the plant running at a reduced level. Any time the steam supply is reduced below 75,000 lbs, the plant is forced to shut down and flare all gas being processed within the plant. Talisman Energy's goal is reduce, as many flaring events as are possible and, operate in the most efficient, environmental and economical manner as possible. As for the plants electrical system, Fortis Alberta provides service to the plant by way of a 25 kV line. Although the line exposure of the 25 kV line is relatively short (7.5 km from the plant to the 230 kV transmission substation) to the Edson Gas Plant, the plant is not the only customer on the line. There is an additional 20 km's of line feeding an oilfield north of the plant, the majority of interruptions are a direct result of this line exposure, and is outside of our control. There is no data kept on the type or location of faults experienced on the local power grid. However, we do know there were 12 momentary and one sustained outage to the Edson Gas Plant in 2002. Further Fortis Alberta only keep one year's data on file so we have no way of knowing if 2002 was a typical year or not, but any fault, even momentary blips where the substation breaker trips and resets itself, have the potential to trip the Edson Gas Plant offline. Just to illustrate the importance of power reliability, the Edson Gas Plant did experience a 4 hour sustained outage in the fall of 2003. The combination of no power and the cold weather resulted in freezing up of sections of the plant, One 4 hour outage can result in weeks of reduced operations. Why did we look into building a Cogen now? The answer to this question is timing. As stated above the Edson plant has three power boilers that supply 600 psi superheated utility steam. Boilers "A" and "B" were installed in 1965, as part of the original construction of the plant. Each boiler is a John Inglis model 21 PK, rated for 96,000 lbs/hr at an efficiency of 75.3%. Boiler "C" was installed in 1971, the same model, but with a higher rating of 110,000 lb/hr and a higher efficiency of 81%. Even with our highly developed maintenance program, the boilers efficiency ratings have been slipping with age; the main cause is scaled boiler tubes, which significantly affected the heat transfer. Also deregulation of the Alberta power industry started in 2001 giving industry the opportunity to develop new generation with a Power Pool to settle the hourly price. Up until then Cogen plants could only supply power to meet their on site power needs, and had no access to a power markets to sell any surplus energy. The Edson project gave Talisman the opportunity to take a positive step to increase the efficiency of the Gas Plant, reduce emissions and, having a means to recover the project capital through power sales. How would the Cogen operate? Under normal operating conditions we would have both turbines running at maximum load, generating a combined power output of 10MW to the grid and both HRSG's operating in the turbine exhaust gas (TEG) firing mode with supplementary duct firing modulating to provide 600psi steam to the plant header regulated on pressure control. The steam turbine driven BFW booster pump is operating with the electric motor driven unit on standby and the emergency generator set is not running. Parasitic loads for both trains are being fed from the 480 V MCC and critical control power from the UPS. All power generated by the Cogen would be sold to the Alberta Power Pool at the hourly spot price. -6- 2.1 Bumpless Steam Switching As stated before it is essential for this project to maintain a minimum of 75-80 kpph of steam production for the plant to remain sweet (not to go to flare). The existing power boilers will be shut down once the Cogen project is commissioned, therefore, one HRSG must remain in operation at all times. While either HRSG can operate in the Fresh Air Firing (FAF) mode without it's gas turbine running the problem occurs in ensuring the changeover from TEG to FAF mode takes place without losing steam production and with minimum disruption to the plant operation. The HRSG design had to meet NFPA 85, Boiler and Combustion Systems Hazards Code which dictates that in the event of a loss of turbine exhaust flow the HRSG burner fuel gas valve must be driven to it's minimum fire position. The burners can stay at minimum fire (approx 10%) indefinitely as long as the turbine exhaust flow is maintained above 25% of it's maximum flow. Testing has shown that when a Taurus 60 unit is tripped the exhaust flow decays below the 25% level in 17 seconds. If this minimum 25% flow is lost then the burners must be shut off completely. When this happens the HRSG must go through a purge and relight procedure and steam production from that unit will be lost for approximately 5 minutes. In addition the purge flow cools the steam tubes and further collapses the decaying steam header pressure.

Burner drops to FD Flow Diverter valve 25% Purge GTG Trips FD Fan starts 10% firing confirmed swings flow lost Start up of Burners fire Steam flow Standby No to 100% Ramps up. Generator If steam production is lost at the plant the 600psi steam header pressure drops rapidly, approximately 40 psig in 30 seconds. Therefore a transfer from GTG exhaust firing to FD fan operation on the Cogen units would have to take place in 30 seconds or less to avoid upsetting the plant. If a burner relight sequence takes place and steam production is lost for 2 minutes this will result in the plant going down. Particularly as the purge cycle required for burner relight causes rapid collapse of the steam in the HRSG tubes. To avoid this purge and relight procedure it is necessary to ensure a fresh air supply to the burners is available, to replace the turbine exhaust, and is provided within 17 seconds from the turbine tripping. We are not aware of any installation that can make this transition with a FD design fan in 17 seconds. For this reason, train 1 employs an ID design fan. Deltak Heat Recovery Unit c/w ID Fan The use of an ID fan design on train 1, combined with the selection of steam turbine drivers for the ID fan and two BFW pump (one steam and one electric drive), will guarantee steam reliability should the breaker -8- trip and shut down both turbines. In the ID fan design, the fan is driven by steam and is running on slow roll continuously. This has the drawback of consuming 5600 pph of steam continuously but ensures that when the turbine trips the fan can ramped up immediately and combustion air to the burners is not lost. Steam production from the HRSG is almost continuous. By comparison the FD design is more efficient because the fan does not normally operate and consume steam. However, on a turbine trip it does take time to ramp the fan up to speed and then swing diverter valves to direct the fresh air into the burners. The time taken by this procedure is thought to be longer than the 17 seconds permitted by the Solar turbine exhaust decay curve and the HRSG burners will have to be shut off completely. The fastest time we believe that we can switch to fresh air firing is 24 seconds based on the experience from another facility. Electrically driven FD fan requires the emergency generator to start (12-15 seconds) and power the fan to speed (10 seconds). Then the airflow must be proved and the dampers swung over. However, if we can achieve Bumpless transfer of the power system the start up time for the standby generator is eliminated and we can meet the 17 second window. Should all other preventative measures fail and both turbines trip simultaneously the ID fan design of train 1 will ensure 100kpph of 600 psi steam is maintained to the plant until train 2 HRSG can be restarted. 2.2 Bumpless Power Switching According to the historical data we collected, we found that lose of Grid power only resulted in causing the gas plant to go to flare approximately 50% of the time. It all depended on how the plant was configured at the time of the interruption and the duration of the power outage. With the addition of the Cogen we had to design a system to reduce the frequency of power outages from the grid and to insure that any interruptions within the Cogen did not impact the plant. This task was completed through a series of breakers and relay between the Utility Grid and the Cogen supply. The basic principle was to isolate the two power systems when one failed fast enough so as not to affect the Gas Plant. EDSON PLANT COGEN SINGLE LINE DIAGRAM SKETCH 5258S (G) (H) (A) GTG- GTG- 2 1 OTHER CUSTOMER LOADS 52G2 52G1 TALISMAN OWNED & (E) (F) OPERATED ISLANDING EDSON BREAKER PLANT SW4 DISCONNECT (D) 81B3881 LOAD BREAK 52L1 15,000 KVA TRANSFORMER 81B3882 DISCONNECT 5 - 25 kV (B) (C) 52T1 EDSON TALISMAN PLANT AQUILA LOADS LOAD BREAK 81B3884 -9- Fortis Alberta (the local Utility) have agreed to allow power islanding of the Edson Gas Plant, this allows the Gas Plant to isolate its on site 25 kV power system from either the Utility grid or the Cogen during fault conditions. In order to achieve a bumpless transfer we installed an islanding breaker (52L as shown on line diagram) designed with a trip setting faster then any of Fortis's protection equipment. This breaker is also used to accommodate Altalink's (Area Transmission System Provider) requirement for a transfer trip signal used for tripping the Cogen off in the event of a fault condition on the 144 kV transmission system. In the event of a fault within the Cogen or on the Gas Plant's 25 kV system we have installed an isolation breaker (52T as shown on line diagram). This breaker is designed to separate the Gas Plant from the Cogen in coordination with breaker 52L. Each generator has it's own individual unit breaker (G1 and G2 as shown on sketch) and can be individually isolated. Both generators feed into the 4160kv line, which can then be isolated from the plant load and incoming power feed by the 52T breaker. Both generators are also connect to the 480V MCC that powers parasitic loads to both trains and essential building services. The standby natural gas engine powered emergency generator is also connected to the 480 V system. In the event grid power is lost the standby generator is designed to start and accept load in 15 seconds. 2.3 Bumpless Power System Upgrades The most likely scenario that could cause both turbines to trip off line simultaneously is a fault on the Utility grid. To address this concern we determined the following measures be adopted. Fortis installed an additional Oil Circuit Recloser (OCR) to isolate the plant from faults occurring on the power line extension to the North and the extension to the South be rerouted to another feeder. These measures are expected to reduce the number of faults and improve grid reliability. Cogen miscellaneous electrical loads will be run off the 480V bus connection, which is backed up by the natural gas powered emergency generator. Control power will be fed from a UPS. The fault current values which trip the breakers will be set so that 52L breaker trips first, then 52T breaker then breakers G1 and G2 (generator breakers). This will provide the maximum opportunity for the plant and the Cogen's to be isolated during a grid power fault before the turbines trip offline. In the event of a grid fault the turbines will experience increased loading as they will be feeding fault and the turbines will slow down. Solar's normal logic is to immediately shut down the turbines on low speed, low frequency or high current. Our project will first remove the grid overload by opening 52L breaker to island the plant and reaccelerate the turbines carrying the plant load. This logic has been successfully demonstrated in the Solar test cell simulating a system load equal to 33MW with both turbines operating. Testing has shown the generator can sustain this load for 100 msecs (6 cycles) and disconnect itself, shedding the entire load without the turbine tripping. Further testing also proved the generator can also sustain the same load, disconnect the overload portion and reaccelerate with the equivalent 7.5 MW plant load connected. This gives excellent potential for the turbines to continue operating through all grid fault scenarios with both steam and power supply to the plant unaffected. Boiler feed water is provided by the existing BFW pumps to a new booster station consisting of two 100% duty pumps. One pump is steam turbine powered and one driven by an electric motor. However the location and type of grid fault will affect our ability to detect the fault level quickly enough to isolate the Cogen units before the turbines trip. Therefore with no previous trip data available to us there can be no guarantee of consistently and successfully avoiding the turbines tripping. But we do believe the majority of turbine trips will be avoided by the measures taken in the electrical design. - 10 - Power System Normal operating Conditions Altalink's 144 kV substation (58S) operating normally and providing power to the Edson Area. All of Fortis's 25 kV lines are operational and clear of any faults. The Gas Plant is running at its operating load between 6.5 to 7.5 MW. The GTG's will be generating power up to a maximum of 12.26 MW total and selling the power to the Alberta Power Pool (grid). HRSG units will be supplying all the steam requirements to the plant. The HRSG's will be operating in the Turbine Exhaust Gas (TEG) mode. Talisman Breaker's 5258S, 52L1, 52T1, 52G1, 52G2 will be Closed.

Ground fault (A), including faults caused by lightning strikes, can occur anywhere on Fortis's 25 kV distribution grid. This fault will be detected by the protection relays on islanding breaker (52L1), which will trip this breaker and isolate the Gas Plant from the grid. The islanding breaker is designed to trip before any of Fortis's or Altalink's equipment react. As a backup, the high-speed transfer trip signal from Altalink will deliver a trip signal from their substation (58S) to the 52L1 breaker to execute a trip. Breakers 52T1, 52G1 and 52G2 would remain closed and feed the Edson Plant loads without interruption. Should breaker 52L1 fail to operate, breaker 52T1 will be the next to trip. If breaker 52T1 should fail to trip, breakers 52G1 and 52G2 would trip. The turbines will continue to operate since the fault is not mechanical and a manual shut down would be completed.

The turbine-firing rate is reduced, as the surplus electrical power cannot be sent to the grid and the duct burner firing increases to offset the reduced turbine exhaust temperature. Steam production and electrical power to the plant are not affected. Fortis Alberta 25 kV system fault downstream of the sub station This scenario has three possible outcomes. The fault current is detected quickly and the plant islanded by opening 52L breaker. The turbines reaccelerate to 100% speed without tripping and power and steam to the plant are unaffected. This is the best possible result. The fault current is detected and the plant islanded but the turbines continue to slow down. Breaker 52T is then opened to shed all load before either turbine trips offline. The turbines reaccelerate unloaded and the duct burners increase firing to offset the fall in turbine exhaust temperature. Steam production is not lost but the plant loses electrical power until 52T breaker is closed again to enable the plant to be islanded. The grid fault is not detected in time and both turbines trip. Power is lost to the plant. Train 1 ID fan ramps to full speed and train 1 runs in FAF mode generating 100 kpph of steam. Train 2 HRSG trips and the emergency generator starts up. Train 2 goes through a purge and relight procedure in the FAF mode. The plant is islanded by opening breaker 52L and the turbines restarted. Power to the plant is restored. Planned Grid Outage The plant is isolated from the grid by opening breaker 52L and production is unaffected. Single HRSG mechanical failure The remaining HRSG increases burner-firing rate to produce 100,000 pph of steam. The turbine on the failed unit can be shut down or operated on simple cycle to maintain electrical generation. Single Turbine fault If either turbine trips due to an individual mechanical or electrical problem the associated HRSG will switch to FAF firing. Train 1 will accomplish this without tripping the burners and steam production will quickly resume. Train 2 will start its FD fan and attempt a fast changeover to FAF firing, which may or may not be successfully accomplished without tripping the burners completely. On detecting the initial trip signal for either HRSG the PLC will instruct the remaining HRSG to ramp up firing immediately to full production for two minutes before reverting to steam header pressure control. High high header pressure will override this instruction. BFW Booster pump failure The standby BFW pump will start up and steam production will be unaffected. Normal Start-up Grid power is available. This is the normal start up mode and either turbine can be started and then it's associated HRSG fired. Black Start Without Grid Power The plant is islanded by opening breaker 52L and the emergency generator is started. Both turbines are started and power is available to the plant. The HRSG's are then fired to provide steam. Double Jeopardy Situations Outside Design Loss of fuel gas will cause both turbines and HRSG's to shutdown. - 13 - Appendix A – Project Flow Diagram - 14 - Appendix B – Fortis Alberta SLD Diagram 81B4813 X 81B4812 (OCR) Talisman Fortis 81B485 (REG) Fortis AltaLink EDSO 58S745W 81A482 N 58S X 81A3855 58 X (OCR) 15 S 153DL46 15 15 58 T2 58 3L 15 N.O. 153L17 3L 3L S S 16 3 2 1 3 2 W Point of X M M X 52G1 Disconnect #2 81A387 Point of 1 Interconnection 58S3 58S740X 81B3884 M 9 5 MW G X X 7.5 MVA 81B3725 4 N.O. 58 58 X 52T1 1.0 MVA S T1 N.O.
