I am in serious need of a good organizing, but I can't see getting rid of 80% of my stuff ... or even 20%! Like Liptontee, my stash supply is very small compared to most crafters. And I've bought a few mistakes along the way. I've given away a few things, sold a couple others and made due with what I bought when possible.
A little story ...
More than 15 years ago, I jumped on the D.O.T.S. and Stampin Up card-making bandwagon. Unfortunately, it didn't take me long to learn that stamping was not my thing. (I had no Internet to turn to for ideas; no talent to color my items with the markers.)
Fast foward 15 years ...
After scrapbooking for a couple years, I get curious about Copic markers. I decide to give them a try and love them. And you know what? I'm so glad that I still have those old stamp sets! The ink pads and Marvy markers were no good, so I had to toss them.
Try this:
Go ahead and purge.
Give away (or sell or whatever) all the adhesive, ink pads, markers and other things that would dry out or go bad over time.
But keep the rest of your purged stuff in a couple of boxes and store them in the garage. Then, in six or eight months go through everything you "tossed" and if you still don't want it or need it, then give it the final heave-ho out the door.

George Christie: Hells Angel, prison consultant
Not everyone lists two stints behind bars and law enforcement's tireless hunt of them on their resumés.
But everyone is not George Christie.
Ventura's famous and infamous Hells Angel proudly details his many run-ins with the law on the website promoting his new business, which chronicles his "35-year battle with federal, state, and local agencies" as well as his connections to the "volatile and dangerous street world."
Because if you find yourself on the wrong side of the law and are going to pull some hard time in prison, he thinks that he's the kind of guy you'd turn to for advice about life on the inside.If someone is getting ready to go to prison, there are a lot of questions in their mind. They are wondering how they are going to accept this, what is the environment going to be like, what are the rules and regulations
Christie, who has about as many tattoos as he has had criminal charges against him, has launched a business called Felony Prison Consultants. His business model is simple: Counsel people who are going to prison on the many challenges, threats and fears that await them. Christie says his experience will give people the tools they need to survive the violent and demanding world of prison so they can do their time, get out and become a productive member of society again.
"If someone is getting ready to go to prison, there are a lot of questions in their mind. They are wondering how they are going to accept this, what is the environment going to be like, what are the rules and regulations," said Christie, 64, at his home on Ventura Avenue. "I can provide answers to those people."
Such consulting firms are not new, but the people using them are becoming increasingly high-profile. Everyone from Mike Tyson and Martha Stewart to Bernard Madoff and Michael Vick has employed them. Many are white-collar criminals with the money to pay for the service but lacking the street-sense that is needed in prison.
Charles Carbone, a San Francisco-based attorney who specializes in prisoner rights in California, said such services have become more prevalent in recent years but wonders how helpful they ultimately are.
"There is a psychological value to it," he said. "Some of what they are doing is stopping the hyperventilating and putting the person at ease because going to prison, especially the first time, is a horrendous experience."
But beyond giving a future inmate peace of mind, Carbone says much of what prison consultants offer in the way of how to act in prison without getting beaten up or taken advantage of can be learned in the first few weeks.
For a 31-year-old from Los Angeles, Christie's advice was invaluable. The man, who would only speak on the condition of anonymity, was sentenced to six months in Chino's state prison for assault with a deadly weapon after he got in a drunken argument and smashed a beer glass on a man's face.
He said he's never been in trouble before and didn't know anyone who had been to prison, so was worried about what to expect on the inside. He heard of Christie and hired him to counsel him on the journey through the penal system.
"My friends were making cracks about not dropping the soap and I would laugh it off, but I do have concerns about those kind of things going on," he said. "My lawyer did tell me a little bit what it was going to be like in there, but I don't think he knew because he'd never been there himself."
He said Christie has given him peace of mind on how to conduct himself, as well as advised him on how to avoid spending more time in prison than required.
"He's getting me ready for what I'll have to deal with when I'm in there," he said. "He provides a pretty good service."
Christie said he's had about two clients a month since he started the business a year ago. He charges anywhere between $500 and $2,500 for his services, depending on his clients' ability to pay. Christie, who used to be the head of the Ventura Hells Angels chapter, said he offers his services to fellow members for free. His consulting work is completely independent from the workings of the club, he said.
The idea came to him after a bail bondsman friend asked Christie to talk to a friend who was worried as he got ready to go to prison. Since then he's mainly been working with white-collar criminals to prepare them for incarceration
Christie will sit down with the client and go over their concerns about prison and guide them through the ordeal so they can get home and back to a normal life.
"Let the people who run the prison, run the prison," he said — and he was not referring to the guards. "You do your time and go home."
There are all sorts of rules that need to be paid attention to on the inside, he said. Don't stare at people too long. Don't borrow anything. Don't act too tough — or too weak. He'll go over all that as well as how to deal with race, the shower room and sexual predators.
Christie spent about two years behind bars. In 1986, he spent a year in federal prison on charges of conspiracy to commit murder and murder for hire, for which he was eventually acquitted. In 2001 he spent a year in jail after a massive bust involving the local Hells Angels selling prescription drugs. Christie pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess a prescription drug for sale. In 2008 he pleaded guilty to possession of less than two grams of cocaine and methamphetamine and being under the influence of a controlled substance, for which he got eight months probation.
Ventura Assistant Police Chief Quinn Fenwick called the Hells Angels "a street crime terrorist group" with a long history of illegal activity .
"I think George is trying to make a buck and the value is determined by his clients," he said. "My advice to people would be to do whatever you can to stay out of jail so you don't need to hire him."Let the people who run the prison, run the prison
Christie said he's not involved in any criminal activity these days. Indeed, his house, which has a living room plastered with photos, plaques and memorabilia from his long affiliation with the Hells Angels, is a study in contrasts.
He has the torch he carried from the 1984 Olympics mounted beside a wall of knives and bourbon bottles. A large photograph of an Indian mystic who teaches world peace sits near the fireplace where there are framed flags of the Hells Angels.
Christie wears all black, but his top is an expensive Patagonia fleece.
He knows that many people won't see beyond his Hells Angels vest and his checkered past and they may say he's just capitalizing on his run-ins with the law. And that's just fine with him.
"To all my detractors and skeptics, I would say if you find yourself in a precarious situation like this, feel free to call me," he said. "I'll come help you."

Another Conrad vs Atavan plz.
Album Rating: 4.0He's referring to that Britney review.
Album Rating: 2.0Huh?
what the fuck, atavan
Album Rating: 2.6If this is contrib quality.......

I still don't get how Beyonce has managed to be one of THE defining singles artists of the past 20 years (Crazy in Love, Single Ladies et al.) and yet has never released one truly great album. Closest she's ever come is B Day.
dev, her singles have defined her as the defining pop artist not the best but one to emulate. can you argue that?
Album Rating: 2.6I disagree though, because out my way she's not that big at all
but she leads in new sounds, shes innovative for pop standards; no?
Album Rating: 2.6I wouldn't call her innovative but that's just personal preference
yeah beyonces not innovative.
i do like what cmg said (surprise surprise) about her, something to the effect of she no doesnt conform to trends but dictates what the trends are
Album Rating: 4.0Beyoncé's hardly innovative. Which is why this album is actually good - she sort of just goes for the simpler stuff and lets her voice do the work.
Album Rating: 2.6I wouldn't really say she dictates either. That would be implying that she's starting something new or at the very least, changing it. I just don't hear that
EC if she's not conforming how does that not make her innovative in a sense? especially with you saying she dictates the trends that sounds contradictory. I read the same cokemachine review btw
saying "now you will like 90s female pop" does not mean she invented 90s female pop
that's not what what you said though, just sayin.
dev agrees
Album Rating: 2.0Letting her voice do most of the work would be good if she had anything interesting to say on this album, but it's all "I want you, I need you, oh baby, oh baby." If you want a 2011 album that really lets the voice take centre stage with something engaging to back it up, get 21.
Also what the fuck robertsona
but when has pop beside gaga (in this generation) ever said anything?
Album Rating: 4.021 struck me as overrated. I like Adele quite a lot, though.

Yes, the Caterham Seven Roadsport 175 costs from £24,995 for a factory-built car. The Superlight R300 £27,995. Three grand difference. But in my mind, there's just no competition. Go hardcore, or go home. And hand me the keys to the R500 on the way out of the door.

For some students the retention of subject information is good throughout the year, and therefore they won't need to revise for more than a couple of hours each day. However, there are those that struggle either because they haven't applied themselves effectively throughout the year or because they genuinely find learning harder than other students.

If you've ever wanted to add a bit more interactivity to your next barbecue, the Shinwa Grill is a must-have item. This bamboo table has a built-in charcoal grill, which allows four to six diners to gather around and essentially cook dinner together.
The cast iron charcoal grill is 15.5 inches by 15.5 inches and can stay hot for up to six hours, according to Shinwa. The table that surrounds the grill is 41 inches by 41 inches. Here's a closer look at the Shinwa Grill:

Is it a grill or a griddle or both?
July 7, 2011
It's a flat-surface, cast iron grill in the center. It's surrounded by a bamboo table that seats 4-6 people. So, everyone sits around and cooks together. Great for small pieces of meat, veggies, fruit. Yum.

Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThe decades between 1670 and 1730 were the most formative in the history of the French colonies in the Americas. A sufficient number of migrants arrived from France and Africa to create settlements, establish economies of production, develop networks of exchange and trade, and adapt institutions of government and law to give substance and form to their resulting societies. Elusive Empire was the first full account of how during these years French settlers came to the Americas. It examines how they and thousands of African slaves together with Amerindians constructed settlements and produced and traded commodities for export. Bringing together much evidence, the author explores how the newly constructed societies and new economies, without precedent in France, interacted with the growing international violence in the Atlantic world in order to present a fresh perspective of the multifarious French colonizing experience in the Americas. less

Dollar vs. Stock Correlation Hits Multi-Year Extreme
Six months ago, the correlation between the S&P 500 and the US Dollar was at its most-inverse level since late 2009. Today, that inverse correlation has been completely erased and the two assets are now more correlated than they have been in more than a decade!
Whenever there are extreme shifts in the relationship between different asset classes, you can expect that the breakdown will have ramifications on the assets involved. With that in mind, earlier this week we sent out a report to Bespoke Premium clients highlighting similar periods in the past where the dollar and equities were as positively correlated as they are now.

Can you run foremost without a LiveCD or LiveUSB? Because from what I have read (the Data Recovery page of Ubuntu), it says that you need one.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Ask Ubuntu is a question and answer site for Ubuntu users and developers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Sure you can, but since it works by reading a raw partition, you cannot use it to recover files from a mounted filesystem. That means that if you're trying to recover data from an external storage medium or an unmounted partition, it'll work. On the other hand, if you try to recover data from a mounted partition (e.g. one that is part of your running Ubuntu installation), you won't be able to reliable do so.
That brings you to a Live environment: all partitions are unmounted and you can safely perform read operations on a partition and write it to an external storage device.

Flatdogs Camp: Information from the owner
All the information on this page is supplied to us directly from the lodge owner and reflects their view, not ours.
For Expert Africa's view, see our own report, which contains our own observations and views.
|Last updated
Main description of Flatdogs Camp
Room types at Flatdogs Camp
Flatdogs Camp Chalet rooms
The six regular chalet rooms are found in three separate buildings. Each chalet building has a downstairs double room with ensuite bathroom and an upstairs twin or triple room with their own private bathroom just downstairs. There are four main chalet buildings, each of which has two separately guest rooms; the downstairs room is a double room with ensuite and a verandah downstairs, the upstairs room is a twin or triple room with bathroom and verandah downstairs from the bedroom but entirely private. The only area that might be shared with other people is the small "kitchenette" between the two halves of the building where we have a fridge and kettle and tea/coffee making things. This little corridor is shared between the two rooms, but has a lockable door for each room. This works as a kind of inter-connecting door for when we have one family in the chalet building, so the kids can go through to their parents room if they leave the doors unlocked at each end of the kitchen. At the end of camp, there is a larger family chalet which has three bedrooms in total but just two ensuite bathrooms - the two downstairs bedrooms are both ensuite - one room has a double bed and a single bed, the other has three single beds. There is also a kitchen area between the two bedrooms. There is a spiral staircase from the kitchen leading up to the "loft room", sitting area and upstairs viewing deck. The viewing deck looks out towards the Luangwa river and while is not ideal for very small children, it is a wonderful place to relax and watch the sun set... The loft room has two more single beds but has no ensuite bathroom, people sleeping here need to share the bathrooms downstairs. Outside the chalet is an open sala sitting area with sofa and chairs.
Flatdogs Camp Jackalberry Treehouse
Set in a private spot away from the rest of camp, the Jackalberry Tree House is a special treat indeed. The "house" is made up by three joined platforms built around three mature Mchenja trees (African Ebony or Jackalberry tree). There are two en-suite bedrooms with an open sitting/dining deck in-between them. The bedroom platforms have romantic and rustic four poster beds (one queen and one king which can be split into two twin beds), open front walls and uninterrupted views of Africa. Each bedroom has an open air bathroom platform down a short flight of steps with hot shower, flush toilets and basin. A large sofa, armchairs and throw cushions are spread out on the middle deck for relaxing during the heat of the day and watching the game which wanders past the house, oblivious to your presence. There is also a dining table and chairs should guests prefer to dine at the house. A fridge and bar are provided in the treehouse as well as tea and coffee-making facilities. A hand-held radio is provided, so that guests can call for a vehicle to bring them to the restaurant or bar, or in case there is a problem of any kind. Their safari guide will otherwise plan with them when they would like collecting from the house and their preferred activities. The tree-house is on mains electricity and has UK style 3-pin rectangular plug sockets for re-charging cameras or laptops. Giraffe, bushbuck, puku and elephant are commonly found all around the Treehouse and it is wonderful to wake to the sounds of elephant feeding below you or having a mud bath from the waterhole in front of the house.
Flatdogs Camp Luxury ensuite safari tents
There are seven Luxury ensuite safari tents, six of which are pitched permanently on the banks of the Luangwa. These made-to-order tents have a thatched roof for extra shade, ensuite facilities (hot shower, flush toilet and basin) with a canvas half roof over the bathroom, full-sized beds with sprung mattresses, large mosquito nets and all bedding and towels provided. The tents have electric lights, a fan and charging points for camera batteries. There is also a room safe and tea & coffee making facilities. Six of the luxury tents including the family tent look straight out onto the river, one tent (tent 11, the honeymoon tent) has plenty of privacy and looks out onto a pretty lagoon, which attracts plenty of birdlife as well as elephant for their daily mud baths and giraffe and bushbuck when they are thirsty. The Family Tent (a luxury tent) is a little different to the others, this is a specially designed tent which has space for a double bed and two single beds, both with large mosquito nets and with a large bathroom at the back of the tent, shared between the family. The family tent is now to be found on the river bank, closer to the main area than it was, with lovely views of the river.
Flatdogs Camp Standard ensuite safari tents
There are also three "Standard" en-suite safari tents which are much smaller and simpler than the Luxury tents, but are still walk-in tents with ensuite bathrooms with open air shower, toilet and basin. Two of these standard tents are situated on the river bank, the other looks directly onto the same lagoon as tent 11. The standard tents also have full beds, bedding, mosquito nets, charging points and electric fans. The standard tents do not have tea and coffee making facilities or safes.

Revised traffic numbers, cost doomed road plan
The numbers proved it: the Orange Route turned out to be a lemon.
State Transportation Commissioner Gerald Nicely pronounced the oft-debated Knoxville Regional Parkway proposal dead at a news conference Friday. The announcement ended 12 years of controversy, criticism and about $7.5 million in tax dollars devoted to a project that officials said wouldn't justify the final cost.
Revised traffic projections and a minimum $1 billion price tag killed the plan, Nicely said.
"Given the new traffic numbers, it would have been a dereliction of my duty to do otherwise," the commissioner said. "It is clear the parkway project no longer fulfills its original purpose and need."
A crowd of Hardin Valley residents greeted his words with cheers and applause. The Northwest Knox County homeowners, who would have lost homes and land in the project's path, hope the decision means a stake through the Orange Route's heart.
Former state Rep. H.E. Bittle Jr. nearly started a fistfight when Nicely's predecessor, Bruce Saltsman, announced the Orange Route eight years ago. He kept his coat on this time - and patted the commissioner on the back.
"This decision means an awful lot to a lot of people," Bittle said. "These people couldn't even sell their houses. There was an orange streak across the map that showed where the route was going to be. You've righted a tremendous wrong and were man enough to do that."
The Orange Route, years away from construction, remained in the environmental study phase. The next step would have been to hold public hearings on its potential environmental impact.
The beltway would have covered four lanes, split by a median, and would have stretched about 25 miles to connect Interstate 75 in Loudon County at the Interstate 40 junction with I-75 in Anderson County. Its proposal dated to the 1990s.
Initial traffic projections suggested the beltway would have seen an average daily volume of about 49,000 vehicles by 2034, Nicely said. Revised projections, based on a recent drop in interstate traffic, cut that estimate by more than 10,000, he said.
Initial estimates placed the project's cost at about $500 million. The most recent estimates hovered around $1 billion and could have ranged even higher.
Building the route piecemeal would have taken up to 20 years and cost as much as $1.4 billion, Nicely said. Transportation officials suggested making the beltway a toll road to cover its cost but were met with little public support.
Nicely said his department will consider half a dozen alternatives that include widening current roads and improving access to weigh stations.
"If we did all of them, it would still cost only about 50 percent of what a new highway would cost," he said.
The commissioner said he can't guarantee the idea for the Orange Route won't resurface in years to come but said he'd be surprised if it does, given the cost.
"I can't ever say it won't be resurrected, but I personally think it's unlikely," he said.

The goal of treatment for
Dupuytren's disease is to keep or restore hand
function. Dupuytren's disease often is a progressive disease, and recurrence is
Dupuytren's disease often develops slowly. If the tissue (palmar fascia) between your skin and
tendons does not thicken to the point that your fingers are
bent and cannot be straightened (contracture),
you may only need to have your palms checked regularly.
Stretching exercises and splints have been tried to control the early stages of Dupuytren's, but they have not been shown to slow the progress of the disease.
Treatment for
Dupuytren's disease depends on how bad the
disease is. You may notice the characteristic nodules in your palms years before
your condition interferes with daily activities, or you may never have a
reduction in your range of motion.
Collagenase (such as Xiaflex) injected into the tight cord can help reduce the contracture and improve the range of motion.2
In severe
Dupuytren's disease, the tissue (palmar fascia) between your skin and
tendons thickens to the point that your fingers are bent and
cannot be straightened (contracture). If you lose the ability
to wear gloves or hold objects, or if your hands become painful, a procedure may be
done to relieve the contracture. Surgery is most common, but some doctors are now doing needle aponeurotomy.
In needle aponeurotomy (also called percutaneous needle fasciotomy), a local anesthetic is injected into the palm. A needle is used to put small holes in the tight cords. The fingers are then extended to separate the cords. A splint is used to keep the finger straight as it heals.
Surgery can restore mobility to your hands, but Dupuytren's disease recurs often and
reoperation may be needed to keep hand function. After surgery, a sustained
program—including using splints, stretching, and doing scar tissue massage and
hand exercises—may help you regain mobility and prevent
complications or recurrences of the disease.3

Shattering previous records, the United States residential solar market grew 76 percent over the first quarter of 2014, installing 437 megawatts[i] (MW) of photovoltaics (PV) in the first three months of 2015. According to GTM Research and the Solar Energy Industries Association's (SEIA) Q1 U.S. Solar Market Insight Report, released today, the U.S. installed 1.3 gigawatts (GW) of solar PV across all market segments.

Tendril Launches A Customer Acquisition Solution For Utility-Owned Community Solar
Tendril, the Boulder, Colo.-based software startup, rebooted its business last year with a shift to microtargeted energy savings products through its new Energy Services Management platform. Today, the company announced it's expanding its product line with a customer acquisition and engagement solution for utilities getting into community solar.
Rooftop Solar Firm Sunrun Coming To New Hampshire
Another major solar energy company is entering the New Hampshire market, bringing with it the promise of new jobs and cheaper electricity.
IKEA Pledges To #GoSolar
IKEA, which had sales of 30 billion euros last year, wants to generate all the energy used in its shops and factories from clean sources by 2020. To that end, it will invest 600 million euros on wind and solar power installations, adding to 1.5 billion invested since 2009. It has already signed up to own and operate 314 wind turbines and has 700,000 solar panels on its roofs.
Why You Should Think Seriously About Going Solar
If you've been noticing more solar panels lately, you're onto something. While only one in 100 houses has them, that's 46 times as many as a decade ago. Some of that fast growth is due to a federal tax credit that is worth 30 percent of installation costs. According to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), there were more than 180,000 solar-related residential installations in 2014, and more than 50 percent growth over the year before. In addition, new financing options are making it easier for homeowners to also become solar panel owners.
SEIA: New Report Offers 'Distorted View' of Solar ITC
A new study released today by the Stanford Graduate School of Business predicts that the U.S. solar industry is "headed for a cliff" if the solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is not extended. Even though the report touts the solar industry's "dramatic growth," it called for a phase down of the ITC without any examination of the current and past tax treatments of established energy sources. Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), called that omission a "fatal flaw" which ignores how Congress has used the U.S. Tax Code over the past century to encourage the increased production of oil, gas, coal and even nuclear power, making it difficult for solar and other renewable energy sources to compete in the marketplace without incentives.
Solar Growth in Georgia, Southeast to Highlight New Conference
U.S. solar energy leaders and representatives of top solar companies from an 8-state area will gather in Atlanta, GA, on May 7-8 at the Marriott Marquis for the inaugural Solar Power Southeast conference, co-sponsored by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA).
Solar Energy in Oregon, Washington Projected to Make Big Gains
Powered by growing residential and commercial markets, the neighboring states of Oregon and Washington are set to make significant gains this year in new solar installations, according to the recently-released U.S. Solar Market Insight 2014 Year in Review. The two Northwest states are expected to top 200 megawatts (MW) of combined solar electric capacity by the end of 2015 – enough to power nearly 25,000 homes.
Popular State Incentive Helps to Drive Louisiana Solar Growth
WASHINTON, DC - Powered by a rapidly-growing residential market, Louisiana became a Top 20 solar state for the first time last year, according to the recently-released U.S. Solar Market Insight 2014 Year in Review. It was the fifth straight year that Louisiana showed strong growth in solar installations.
Indiana Shows Impressive Growth in Solar Installations
Powered by a robust utility-scale market, Indiana ranked 14th in the nation in installed solar capacity last year, according to the recently-released U.S. Solar Market Insight 2014 Year in Review. It was the second straight year that Indiana exceeded 50 megawatts (MW) of new installations.
Locus Energy Solar Fleet Tops 1 GW Mark
Hoboken-based Locus Energy announced that its fleet has surpassed the milestone of 1 gigawatt of solar capacity in the United States.

SCE Awards SunEdison Contracts For 33 MW Of DG Solar
Southern California Edison (SCE) has awarded SunEdison Inc. contracts to build 33 MW of distributed generation (DG) solar in the utility company's latest round of solar procurement.
Standard Solar Turns Shade Into Gold With Carport Projects
Rockville, Md.-based Standard Solar has installed a 930 kW photovoltaic power system with rooftop and carport arrays at the Upper Marlboro, Md., headquarters of Melwood, a nonprofit organization that creates jobs and opportunities to improve the lives of people with disabilities.
SunPower Partnering On Stanford University Solar Generating Station
Stanford is partnering with SunPower to make the campus energy supply greener by installing new rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems, or solar panels, and building an off-campus solar energy plant.
With the coldest winter in two decades gripping much of the country this year – and wild price swings for natural gas rattling the markets, not to mention American consumers – it's easy for many people to overlook the "hot start" in 2014 for solar energy.
But so far this year, it's been good news followed by even more good news for the U.S. solar industry.
On January 24, 1848 – 166 years ago today – a discovery was made at a place called Sutter's Sawmill that would change the course of California and even American history. Gold was discovered near the old sawmill, setting off the California gold rush.
Today SEIA, along with the more than 1,000 member companies, celebrates the association's 40th anniversary. With over 12 years in the solar industry, I can say it is amazing to see all that we have accomplished so far.
Trade disputes often have a nasty way of becoming trade wars.
On January 24, 1974 – with Richard Nixon in the White House, but knee deep in the Watergate scandal – five people met in the noisy basement of the Washington Hilton to discuss the possibility of establishing an association for the nascent solar energy industry.
They agreed to create "a broad-based trade association supporting prompt, orderly, widespread and open growth of solar energy resources." This was the beginning of the Solar Energy Industries Association's (SEIA) four decades of successful advocacy.
As the third most populous state in the nation, New York has a huge upside when it comes to developing renewable energy sources – and that fact hasn't been lost on Gov. Andrew Cuomo. On Wednesday, during his 2014 State of the State Address, the Governor confirmed that solar energy remains a priority for his administration.
Today, I was asked to take part in an online discussion on Capitol Hill as to whether Congress should extend renewable energy tax credits? Well, in some ways, this discussion is putting the cart before the horse. Most importantly, are incentives for renewable energy sources achieving their goals? In the case of solar, the answer is a resounding yes.
When it comes to renewable energy, you could call it the "shot heard round the world." According to a new report by GTM Research and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), the U.S. installed 930 megawatts (MW) of photovoltaics (PV) in Q3 2013, up 20 percent over Q2 2013 and 35 percent over Q3 2012. This represents the second largest quarter in the history of the U.S. solar market and the largest quarter ever for residential PV installations.
As the UN Climate Conference ended with a whimper last week, the U.S. continues to move forward in its attempts to curtail climate change.
According to the FERC's "Energy Infrastructure Update" report, 99.3 percent of all new electric generation placed in service during the month of October came from renewables – with solar leading the way by a country mile!

It's like it doesn't recognise that they've been downloaded and installed ages ago. This happens whether I click on the DIM button after the sale, or wait and go into the Product Library or click on the icon on desktop when I have time to get around to downloading new content. After I start to download the new stuff, usually the 80+ listing disappears. This time it did not. So I can't access anything in DS or via Smart Content. I was able to get to the DAZ stuff via the Content tab in Cararra.
Am also in the middle of completely downloading all of the 80+ items in the DIM queue… to see if this will re-establish the connection with CMS. Am worried that things might end up in the wrong places, though.
Anyone else ever have this? Did I do something to cause it? If so how can I make it stop!
Thanks for much for any help on this…am in the middle of some course work for class starting Monday. EEEEK!
Cheers, Silene
ETA Finished re-downloading all content. It now shows in Content Library in DS but not in the Smart Content (menu on the leff?) And I still do not have any Smart Content under the Cararra Beta tab. Are the two Smart Content formats connected? I do have the files, they are just not in Smart Content in either Cararra or DAZ.
Apologies if my explanation is crapola, but I am really confused!

Have fuel pressure checked for bleed off as soon as engine is turned off for leaking fuel pressure reg. This is just one of MANY possible causes of 'flooding', mechannic with a good scanner best bet!! Should be codes in computer. We can guess at it from now on and be wrong every time! - pushrod

2005 Mercury Montego Q&A
2005 Mercury Montego Question: where is the water pump impeller located and can it be easily checked
besides the impeller how do you check for a clogged radiator - dennyminnie
2 Answers
Answer 1
I'm not familiar with the set-up on a montego but if you can get your hand on the radiator ,AFTER it's warmed up , shut it off and feel the radiator from top to bottom and if the bottom portin is noticably cooler then either your t-stat is stuck closed (generally that will cause boiling) or the rad. is sludged up. The other fancier and safer way is to get an infrared thermometer and check at different spots with that. Also can compare upper and lower hose temps after the gauge is at normal temp . - ziptie12
Answer 2
The impeller is on the right side of the engine (when facing the vehicle) attached to the upper cam shaft. To replace you'll need to remive the air breather and all hoses. There are 9 bolts (8mm) holding it on. Its fairly easy to replace with patience. - patedebear

Climate change speculation
Re: your Oct. 31 article, "Data shake climate change skeptic":
According to a study by scientist Richard Muller, the average land temperature has risen 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit since the mid-1950's. Note that the scope of the study did not include 70 percent of Earth' surface - ocean and bodies of water. We are talking about 1.6 degrees of global warming over half a century - not a big deal! Also, the study admits it does not know if the global warming is due to natural or human-caused change.
So, what is the urgency for activism and alarmist concern over global warming?
Skeptics, like myself, are asking scientists to support their claims that imminent climate catastrophe due to man caused carbon dioxide emissions (a greenhouse gas) must be avoided at all costs.
1) With specificity please provide the climate disasters, scope, timing, region and events that will take place in North America in this century that must be avoided at all costs?
2) With a high degree of certainty, please describe and list the aberrational climate change and unusual weather events that will occur over the next 100 years that have not occurred in the past 100 years in North America?
3) Please provide the scientific evidence that U.S. public policy (i.e. California's cap and trade) to reduce cabon dioxide emissions will in fact regulate and reverse climate change toward some satisfactory state in North America? Please quantify this reversal of climate change that will take place due to comprehensive public policies to reduce greenhouse gases.
The science is settled and irrefutable according to the true believers in human-caused global warming. Therefore, the answers to the above questions must be obvious. Instead, there is silence. That is because the belief in catastrophic man-caused global warming is based on pure speculation.

They publish their player numbers so it's pretty easy to see if they're growing or not. Their numbers have been stable for about six months or so at least.

MMO's are going downhill because every mmo released lately is bascally trying to copy world of warcrafts mechanics and such instead of trying to do their own thing, Rift for example even had some skill info's ripped right out of wow, even had exact same numbers on the skills at the same level as well. Point is mmorpg devs have gotten really lazy and they don't even try anymore, the upcoming darkfall is bascally the same orignal game just with noob protection in the first zone, other than that its bascally the same shit you did in darkfall in a slightly updated wrapper. The problem is people are stupid enough to buy into crap like that. Single player games at least on the pc are going downhill fast because everything is bascally a piss-poorly done non-optimized for pc console port, only saving grace is the small indie devs that actually produce some unique stuff, like makers of Terraria, binding of issac, minecrat, starbound, space pirates and zombies and others. I mean on one hand I don't blame them for not bothering to really optimize the game for pc, since pc games are very easy to pirate. I'll be honest though I have played most games that have come out in recent years, but I have only ever bought the odd indie title, the rest well.. all I can say is may the gods bless the one who created torrents, because most of the games coming out aren't worth the plastic they printed on. I would have never bought saints row 3, or red faction armageddon if it wasn't in that thq humble bundle, paid 6 bucks got those 2 games and 5 others. Call of duty is a prime example of a game not worth the plastic its printed on, every single iteriation of that game is the exact same game just in a slightly diffrent wrapper.
I'm still waiting for a mmo worth playing, last mmo I played that was actually worth playing past the included month was FF11, because its not just a solo to cap in 2 day single player game. Another issue with most mmo's is their endgame raiding is pointless, because the games do not include anything to use the raid gear for, daoc, rift, everquest 2 I think as well, all have raid gear as the best gear for pvp, so it gives raiding a real purpose. Daoc to this day has some of the best pvp I have seen on the classic server that has almost all expansions, only one it left out was trials of atlantis because it broke the game to the point most just quit, no game has come close to it yet. Though now a days in daoc you just spell craft your gear at max lv, everyone has the same gear that caps theior stats, which makes the pvp very skill based, since everyone has the same quality gear it depends more on player skill, compared to most mmo's where whoever has better gear is almost always the winner.
Then we have games like Darkfall UW.. I have to say does the makers of this game really think a FFA mmo with full looting of corpses whether killed by monsters or players will survive? These kinds of games have failed time and time again, mostly due to the immaturity of its playerbase, They go around on max lv chars ganking and greifing new players, and they just get tired of it and quit. I like my pvp, I don't mind the game is a FFA gank fest, but what made me lose most of my interest in the title has been the full looting. At least this time the dev team was smart enough to grant newbies some protection, however the second they leave that protection the same stuff will happen again. I give darkfall UW 3-6 months before it is either f2p or goes under. Anyway games like darkfall UW end up dying due to the immature playerbase they attract. Eve online is only still alive because of plex, you can play for free on someone elses dollar (Plex is something u can buy in game for ingame funds, and it is bascally gametime). They went that route because the game almost died.
Being a pessimist is a win-win pattern of thinking. If you're a pessimist (I'll admit that I am!) you're either:
A. Proven right (if something bad happens)
B. Pleasantly surprised (if something good happens)
Either way, you can't lose! Try it out sometime!
Personally, I think the newer generation of gamers is full of some really cheap ass people, unwilling to spend any kind of money on a game, regardless of the actual value. Everyone wants "free to play" where it means the game is litterally free with little or no real restrictions, like that's somehow a viable business model. Coupled with a general social tendancy of having zero attention spans, it means people end up just hopping from one crap F2P game to another, over and over again, all the while complaining about how it's not sandbox enough, whatever that actually means.
Imagine yourself as a potential investor or game developer thinking about releasing something in this kind of financially hostile market. It's no wonder their going F2P with cash shops revolving around gambling boxes and stuff. Their having to target the same habbits that casino's target, namely by trying to take as much money as possible from each person because they're only going to be around for a short while anyway.

So people will pay for good games.
Didn't GW2 also sold a lot too?
And what is wrong with game hopping? That is an opportunities for dev to sell more games. You just have to dev accordingly.
Personaly the value of a game is how fun it is, not whether it last a long time.
Originally posted by nariusseldon
That would be true for the games you mentioned, although it is not so much for MMO's. At least, not before the current generation of players, circa 2006 or so on.
Part of the main attraction to an MMO versus other games was that it was persistent. The whole, your characters will be here as long as the game is alive thing. It's like that thread about how players don't want games, they want worlds. There's a lot of truth in that, in terms of MMO's. If an MMO doesn't have any sort of longevity to it, why even market it as an MMO rather than just another game with multiplayer?

How many people actually share that opinion?
What I'd wonder is how many people like the idea of a persistent, online environment, but really only care about the environment they are playing in for a couple months?
The reason I wonder is because gaming as entertainment is growing. More games are being made and even more MMORPG are being made. More and more money is flowing into the development of these games. That wouldn't be happening if more and more people weren't playing and paying for the games. What I think is happening is that while individual game numbers are going to shrink over time, with a few exceptions, the overall genre is growing.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.

You don't need a MMO to have character persistencies. Diablo 3 has it. WOT has it. LOL has some. There are quite a few instanced based games with character persistency.
To be honest, i don't think MMO is that special. The only difference of MMO from a online MP game, is the open world, and that is less and less of a focal point of good gameplay (at least from my perspective). The only one that bucks the trend is PS2.
And personally, i don't distinguish between MMO, and online MP games. I judge all these games by their game play. I probably won't like PS2 any less if the battle are instanced (as long as they are as big).
Originally posted by lizardbones
Personally, i think the idea of persistent progression is alluring and popular, but not so much the persistent world. By the popularity of Diablo, and instanced dungeon, i think people care about making their toons more powerful, but there is no need to do it in the same world as everyone else.
They do want to be able to show off but you don't need a world to do that .... a lobby with an inspect function suffice.
There is more of a need for a OW in a pvp game if you like BIG battles. But even that .. the point is that the battle is big, and not that the world is persistent.
Originally posted by lizardbones
I imagine very few of the people who share my opinion are from the newer MMO generation of players. That's sort of my point. I just find it kind of funny how we get people saying one thing (what they want out of a game) and doing something else (not INVESTING in games that have those qualities).
Short attention spans, it's that simple. And, like I said before, it's no real surprise that game dev's are making nothing but shallow MMO's designed to maximize profits in as short a time as possible, rather than create a long-term service.
Originally posted by nariusseldon
That's the very attitude I'm trying to point out. People are now unable to tell the difference between a lobby game and an MMO. It's sad.
I'm hardly an Old Man of the Sea here, opining about the good old days. It's just that there is a noticeable change in attitudes and expectation between the old guard and the new. That's normal, but it's still kind of annoying to deal with. The industry is definitely changing and I, for one, really miss the older MMO expectations.
Originally posted by asmkm22
Let me clarify, MMOs are becoming more like lobby games ... true and agreed. But there is no confusion .. i certainly understand the difference between an open world online game, and one taht based in lobby. However, in many cases, i found the lobby style more fun.
I do not apologize for that preference. I have played UO beta. I have played EQ. For me, most lobby game (or a MMO with a lobby) is more fun. So i play what i think is fun, and vote with my wallet. Very simple.
And "sad"? We are just talking about games ... entertaniment here. I like to read lock room mystery .. and they weren't written (much) in the US after the 30s .. 40s. So what? There are other entertainment. I think people place too much emotion in leisure activities.

I agree. The latest trend to give these big epic personal stories just doesn't fit the MMO genre. An MMO's story needs to be about the world itself, not the individual player's character. They need to do that by making a very detailed world that feels like a world, not an amusement park. The more they add and rely on things of convenience like the auction house, a minimap and map with every detail of the world pointed out to the player, and large identifiers where quests are, the more it moves away from the virtual world.

All the games that have gone f2p the past few years it's no surprise overall sub numbers are down. Just the other day playing PlanetSide2 I had to remind myself the game is free now.... I paid $120 for StreetFighter II back in the day, kids today so spoilt and prob don't realise.

I honestly believe not all MMOs have to choose either $15 or f2p. Honesly, going $8-10 for some games keeps a constant stream of cash every month, weeds out several "want it free" players and hopefully maintaining the game's mentality instead of elitist/gold buying mentalities, and provides gamers a feel that they should keep playing till the end.
Of course, thats just in a view of how a perfect game would go. Until I find people planning out MMOs from absolute scratch rather than going on with what they found successful in other games, not much will be changed if it's RPG style.

|ESPN.com: Story
|[Print without images]
New York Mets ace Pedro Martinez is already out on the disabled list after only one regular-season start. The problem however is not his surgically repaired rotator cuff, it's his left hamstring, the large muscle group on the back of the thigh. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list prior to Wednesday's game.
So how realistic is it to expect Martinez to return to the Mets' rotation in the first two weeks of May? And how effective will he be when he returns from this latest setback? The answer is complicated and there are a number of factors to consider, but the projected timetable for Martinez seems optimistic.
|Pedro Martinez's physical behavior after he 'felt a pop' provides clues to the nature of the injury.
At 36, Martinez is not in his prime as a baseball player. I doubt this information comes as a surprise to anyone, but it bears repeating. When it comes to rate of healing after injury, youth is a bonus. When dealing with an injury such as this, which can very easily turn into a chronic problem, it becomes more critical that the tissue heals before the athlete returns to sport. A little more down time initially for recovery may mean significantly less down time later for recurrence.
Martinez's delivery places a significant load on the left hamstring (his landing leg) from ball release to follow through. His left leg rotates inward as his hip and knee extend, his trunk flexes forward and his right leg swings out wide to finish it off. In other words, his left hamstring needs to be both flexible and strong to enable him to pitch. Add to that the fact that the motion is repeated time and again over the course of an outing, and endurance becomes a requirement in addition to strength and flexibility.
The recent repair of Martinez's rotator cuff is also an issue here. How does the opposite leg have anything to do with his throwing arm? Pitchers rely on their legs and their trunk to help them deliver the ball effectively. The stronger the core trunk muscles and the legs are, the more they assist with ball delivery and offload the work of the throwing arm. When pitchers undergo major shoulder or elbow surgery, a good portion of their rehab time is spent conditioning their legs and trunk, as they become increasingly important in preserving the life of their arm. Pedro has made an amazing comeback following a challenging surgery, but the continued health of his throwing arm is dependent on the rest of his body doing its part.
For all of the reasons outlined above, it would not surprise me at all if the timetable for Martinez gets extended. Not only will his hamstring have to heal to the point where he has no pain with regular activity, he will have to resume a progressive throwing program and demonstrate that he can perform without pain in his leg and without excessive compensation elsewhere. In order for him to return and be effective, he needs to have the leg healthy. In the meantime, the Mets face an early challenge in trying to fill the void left by Martinez's surprise departure.

Add a touch of fun to your garden. Colorful Pea Pots from Melony Bradley are inexpensive and so fun to make. Garden craft ideas don't more unique than this! Cut and paint foil and add it to your pot - it's a cheap and easy embellishment.
- Jiffy Strips
- Scissors
- Jacquard's Neopaque Paints
- Pinata Inks
- Metal foil sheets
- Sizzix dies
- BigShot machine
- I have seen some really cool project ideas for using garden peat pots. I have been wanting to play with them for some time. When I visited Lowes yesterday and found these little cuties, it blew my mind that I could buy sixteen of them for $2.11 including Mississippi sales tax! What??
- It all starts with these Jiffy Strips....
- Of course, they come in linked rows so you have to cut them apart with scissors, easy enough....
- I love the green craft look of the pots unpainted but I knew I wanted to try and make some really colorful favors perfect for Spring. I painted them with Jacquard's Neopaque paints.
- I chose the brightest happiest Spring palette I had in my stash.
- To embellish, I decided to play with my collection of Pinata inks. A couple of weeks ago, I used these on metal foil sheet die cuts and loved the result. So here I go again. These are the Sizzix dies I chose. They are all layered flower dies.
- So here I go die cutting my metal foil sheets with my BigShot machine.
- As far as metal foil sheets go, I have to give a big shout out to Walnut Hollow's Be Creative Metal Line, It comes in metallic colors and is very easy to die cut and/or emboss in different patterns.
- Now, the REAL fun begins. I dropped various colors of pinata inks on my die cut foil flowers.
- I either used a paint brush to spread the ink around or a heat tool, to blend colors together.
- I used various colors to experiment...
- Once I had the color combos I liked, I used various embellishments for the center and glued all to the front of the peat pots with tacky glue.
- I decided to add stamped tags too....
- Punching holes in the sides to add a wire hanger is super easy...
- So here they are, my colorful peat pot collection, all filled with bird seed.

Cute, but I'm confused about what they're for. You call them Pea Pots and Peat Pots. They are, indeed, peat pots, intended for starting seeds and sticking in the ground where they'll disintegrate. Obviously you're not intending to do that. Are they birdfeeders? Are you trying to get the birdseed to sprout?
