You should check your vacuum cleaner's rotating floor brush and drive belt regularly for wear or damage. Replace the belt if it is broken or worn. The drive belt is a critical component of your vacuum that allows the brush roll to spin and help remove dirt and debris from your carpets. If your vacuum is not cleaning as well as it had before or the brush roll has stopped turning, you may have to change the belt. If you notice a rubber smell coming from your vacuum you should check your belt for any signs of wear. To change the belt, please refer to your user guide for installation instructions.

Hi Everyone
I am going to attend NationalGrid Engineer Training Program Assessment Centre in 2 weeks time, I am just wondering and I would appreciate if someone from last years or this year could help who already attended the Assessment centre for Engineer Training Program. What to expect there and generally how tough/easy it will be and how many candidate they invite for 2 days assessment. As from the email its not very very clear what gonna happen as its been ages not attended any of the AC, so would really appreciate if someone could put some light on it.
do the technical interview very tough or basics??????????
Please reply ASAP as I will be able to clear this final stage with ur help...lol
05 January 2012 12:11 AM
I don't know anything about the National Grid assessment centre, but I have been involved in plenty for the Electrical industry and others, on both sides of the fence, so here is some general advice (I assume this is for an Electrical Graduate scheme)?
There will probably some form of group exercises, in these they are assessing your ability to work as a team, to solve problems, to work under pressure and to influence others, as well as listen to others. My advice here is:
Say something! If you say nothing, there is no evidence, and that is bad
Don't say too much! You need to strike a balance between influencing people and genuinely taking part, and becoming over bearing and monopolising the time.
If you have an idea, do not let other more dominating people shout you down, you are being assessed on how you deal with this too.
Do not become aggressive, or try to apportion blame for anything that is going wrong, stay positive and come up with solutions.
Use humour to defuse tension, especially if things are not going well.
There will also be in interview, and if for a graduate scheme will be looking more for your ability to work as a team to a deadline rather that purely technical abilities. It will probably be competency based, so before hand come up with examples where you have displayed a certain competency (Google online for example questions, for example have a (true) answer prepared for the question "give me an example when you lead a team, and what was the outcome").
On the technical side, brush up on the higher Electrical Principles and what is going on in the industry, and be careful not to mention things that you know nothing about. At a recent assessment centre I was at the candidate told me about the great issues facing the Electrical Distribution industry, and how he was looking forward to tackling them. I asked him to give me some examples, and he said 'am....getting the power out...?'
Things to brush up on:
Time management
Project management tools (Gantt Charts, critical path analysis)
Fault level (what is it at what issues does it cause, how is it controlled)
Basic protection
Why do we use three phase? Why not 5 phase?
Why 50 Hz?
Why do we decide to bury a cable or stick it up a pole?
Distributed generation - what impact is this having (fault levels, 'hidden' load)
Who is Ofgem and what do they do?
Be able to explain the UK electricity supply set up and voltages (Power Station - NG - DNO - Supplier - Customer)
That should be a good start!
22 January 2012 11:52 PM
How did you get on?
23 January 2012 04:13 PM
Hi Raj,
I will be at the assessment centre as well for the Engineering training program and all the questions you are trying to ask is what I am trying to find out as well.
look forward to meeting with you Raj. My name is Gary.
28 August 2012 12:48 PM
>>>FAO Simon<<< hi, I am a total novice and have to ask: where to find the answers for them example questions highlighted by you? much obliged, kris
20 November 2012 04:22 PM
Hi Raj,
How did you get on with the assessment centre? I have also applied for the Engineer Training Programme and wanted to know what kind of maths and science questions they asked. I am panicking a little with the technical side as I have only basic maths and have not really used this since doing my GCSE's which was quite a while ago. I just need to know what to brush up on, so I can prepare.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Silvio Berlusconi
The lawyer of former Italian prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi,... News PhotoArrival,Former,Government,Horizontal,Italy,Lawyer,Politics,Prime Minister,Rome - Italy,Silvio BerlusconiPhotographer ANDREAS SOLAROCollection: AFP 2013 AFPThe lawyer of former Italian prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, Niccolo Ghedini, arrives at Palazzo Grazioli (Berlusconi's residence), on June 25, 2013 in Rome. Silvio Berlusconi's furious reaction to a conviction for paying for sex with an underage prostitute suggests a belligerent centre-right will intensify pressure on the coalition government to favour its policies, particularly concerning the hot-button issue of tax, analysts said today. Political observers had warned a guilty verdict could provoke the capricious former premier into pulling support from Enrico Letta's grand coalition, for failing to offer him legal protection.

Workshop in Bangkok, Thailand (30 August 2012)
Workshop on financing options for the full implementation of results-based actions relating
to REDD-plus, including modalities and procedures for financing these results-based
Workshop homepage
Over the year 2009, The Forest Dialogue (TFD) has held three international dialogues and one
writing workshop on Financing REDD-plus, which engaged 100 leaders from different stakeholder
groups. These stakeholders include indigenous peoples, family forest owners, industry,
academics, IGOs, ENGOs, trade unions, social NGOs, forest industry, forest and carbon
investors, retailers and government representatives. The TFD's dialogue initiative
on Financing REDD-plus focused on the elements of a framework for REDD financing and
implementation. The consensus reached during this initiative has led to 26
recommendations launched on October 1st, 2009, during the UNFCCC Climate Change Talks in
Bangkok, Thailand. The recommendations were fed into the processes of the Informal
Working Group on Interim Finance for REDD+ (IWG-IFR). A more extensive report on
TFD's initiative on investing in REDD-plus was published in June, 2010, which captures
not only the 26 recommendations but also other key issues that have been discussed under this
stream of dialogue.

Rangers Site: Jeff Gorton Talks About The Rangers WJC Prospects
On Jesper Fasth:
"To have him make the team and then be put on that line that really has been one of the best lines in the tournament, that's above and beyond what we expected at this point," Gorton said. "We look forward to the rest of the tournament to see if he can keep that up because it's tough. This is largely a 20-year-old tournament and really (Fasth) is just a kid. But his play bodes well for us in the future, I think."
…More and more I think of Ryan Bourque as Ryan Callahan and that is awesome. Jesper Fasth though is playing on Sweden's top line and making a good impression on most people who are seeing him for the first time. Gorton says that he is still very young for the tournament, which means next year he could be a real big part of Sweden's team, just like Chris Kreider and Team USA

Utah is now using new technology to make sure AMBER Alerts go out even faster when a child is abducted. The public can sign up to get the alerts through the Law Enforcement Alerting Portal (LEAP), a high-speed system that sends alerts through email, text, fax and RSS feeds.
Utah launched the AMBER Alert Program in 2002 and one year later was one of the first states to notify the public by email and text messages. However, as the number of people who signed up to receive the alerts got bigger the system became slower.
"The need for speed cannot be overemphasized when it comes to the AMBER Alert," says Attorney General Mark Shurtleff. "LEAP is once again giving us the ability to notify the public immediately when a child has been taken."
The need for the portal became evident when Utah's AMBER Alert Program was tested on August 26. The test alert was severely delayed because two computer servers went down. LEAP was also tested at the same time and the portal was able to quickly disseminate the alerts.
Another obstacle was finding a 24/7 operation that could enter the information into LEAP. The telecommunicators at the Department of Public Safety Communications Center in Salt Lake City agreed to take over this important function.
"I think everyone is willing to do whatever it takes to bring an abducted child home," says Department of Public Safety Commissioner Lance Davenport. "I am pleased with what our employees have done and will continue to do to keep Utah children safe."
Amber Alert GPS, a Utah company that uses technology to help parents protect children, operates LEAP and is providing the service for free to Utah and other states. The portal is known for its reliability, redundancy, stability, speed and efficiency.
"Amber Alert GPS is honored to partner with the state of Utah to facilitate the delivery of AMBER Alerts statewide," says AMBER Alert GPS CEO Carol Colombo "We are looking forward to supporting Utah's AMBER Alert program, and helping law enforcement bring these children home safe."
LEAP will be the primary provider for AMBER Alerts to the public and a secondary provider for AMBER Alert partners. The Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification will continue be the primary provider of AMBER Alerts to law enforcement, broadcasters and AMBER Alert partners using the Utah Criminal Justice Information System (UCJIS).
The public is encouraged to sign up to receive the alerts on their computers and cell phones by going to this site: http://bit.ly/5hl43n.

YIELD: Makes 2 pizzas, to serve 4 to 6 as a main course, or 8 as a starter
IngredientsSpelt Crust
- 2 cups whole grain spelt flour (8 ounces)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons linseed oil or extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large egg
- Coarse cornmeal, if using a pizza peel
- 4 or 5 green onions
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup drained nonpareil capers
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Granny Smith apple, halved, cored, and sliced very thinly
- 1 fennel bulb, halved lengthwise, cored, and sliced very thinly
- 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips
- Linseed or extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
1 First, make the dough. To prepare the dough by hand: Whisk together the spelt flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Make a well in the center. In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, milk, linseed oil, and the egg and beat with a fork until smooth. Pour the ricotta mixture into the well. Combine with a dough whisk or a fork, stirring from the center and gradually incorporating the flour from the sides until a fairly moist dough comes together. To prepare the dough by food processor: Place the spelt flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in the bowl and process for about 10 seconds. In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, milk, linseed oil, and the egg and beat with a fork until smooth. Pour the ricotta mixture across the top of the flour mixture and pulse, in 1-second intervals, just until a ball forms, 5 to 10 pulses. The dough will be fairly moist.
2 Transfer the dough to a well-floured work surface. Lightly flour your hands and briefly knead 5 to 7 turns to get a smooth yet slightly tacky dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes to allow the bran in the flour to soften.
3 Meanwhile, place a baking stone on a rack on the bottom shelf and preheat oven to 425°F. Liberally sprinkle a pizza peel with coarse cornmeal. Finely chop the white and light green parts of the green onions until you have 1/2 cup. Combine them with the sour cream, capers, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper in a small bowl. Finely chop the dark green parts as well (about 1/4 cup) and set aside for garnish.
4 Unwrap the dough, transfer to a lightly floured work surface and cut into 2 pieces. Keep 1 piece covered with plastic wrap. Lightly flour your hands and briefly knead the other until smooth, 7 to 10 turns. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into an elongated pizza, 11 by 8 inches and about 1/4 inch thick. Do this in stages, occasionally turning the dough over and rolling it out further, lightly flouring your work surface and the rolling pin each time. Place the dough on the pizza peel. Spread half of the sour cream topping across, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Cover with half of the apple slices, top with half of the fennel slices, and sprinkle with half of the prosciutto. Brush the border with oil.
5 Slide the dough onto the baking stone and bake until the fennel just starts to brown at the edges and the rim turns golden brown and starts to crisp it should yield when pressed with a finger about 15 minutes. Use a large spatula to lift the edges of the pizza so you can slide the peel underneath; carefully transfer the pizza to a wooden board. Sprinkle with half of the reserved green onions and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Cut with a sharp knife and serve at once. Repeat with the second pizza.
To get a head start: The dough, as in steps 1 and 2, can be prepared 1 day ahead. Chill, wrapped in plastic wrap. Remove the dough from the fridge and unwrap; flatten it slightly, and allow to come room temperature while you prep the ingredients and preheat the oven, about 1 hour. To lighten it up: Feel free to use part-skim ricotta, lowfat milk, and lowfat sour cream, but do not use nonfat.

The more people we can get registered on time, the less problems and stress people will have later on, said Darren W. Colton, county Real Property Tax director. We are going to take a full day and do whatever we can to service people in any aspect of STAR registration.
As of Nov. 13, he said 70 percent of eligible property owners in St. Lawrence County had registered for Basic STAR,
In neighboring Jefferson County, the registration level was at 67 percent and Lewis County 68 percent, according to records from the state Department of Taxation and Finance.
Mr. Colton said hes hopeful that all county residents who qualify for the exemption apply before the deadline. The average savings is $600 a year.
We want everyone who deserves the reduction to get it, he said. The state will be mailing postcards to those who have not registered.
The postcard will encourage recipients to register online at the tax departments website: www.tax.ny.gov or by calling 518-457-2036. The notices will include a STAR code thats needed to register.
Starting with the 2013-14 school taxes, the state is requiring property owners to re-register for Basic STAR. Registration is not required every year.
The exemption is available for owner-occupied primary residences where the resident owners and their spouses income is less than $500,000. Those with Basic STAR have their property tax assessment reduced by $30,000 for school tax purposes only.
The state decided to make people reregister to reduce the number of property owners who were fraudulently getting the exemption on more than one property, on a home they didnt live in or because they earned more than the $500,000 income limit.
Senior citizens receiving Enhanced STAR are not affected by the change because it already requires annual registration or participation in the departments income verification program. This year, Enhanced STAR exempts the first $63,300 of the full value of a house from school taxes for property owners 65 or older whose combined adjusted income does not exceed $81,900.
The state agreed to provide a separate written form for those who dont have telephones or internet access, such as those in Amish communities. The forms are available at local assessor offices. They can also be directly mailed to those who request them.

St. Lawrence County Republicans and Democrats are sniping at each other over whether Legislator Donald A. Pecks attendance at Democratic caucuses violates the states Open Meetings Law.
Mr. Peck, Gouverneur, who recently had the support of Democrats to become the boards vice chairman, changed his party registration from Republican to Democrat in November, but the switch does not become effective until after the next general election. He began caucusing with the Democrats at the invitation of Legislator Vernon D. Sam Burns, D-Ogdensburg, chairman of the county legislative conference.
The 15-member board has eight Democrats. If Mr. Pecks attendance is illegal, his presence as a Republican creates a quorum of the full board.
If a majority of the board is meeting and theyre discussing public business, that would fall under the Open Meetings Law and should be open, said Robert J. Freeman, executive director of the states Committee on Open Government. He is not yet a registered Democrat. He is a registered something else. A caucus must be members of the same political party.
Democrats should follow the law, county Republican Chairman Thomas L. Jenison said.
They should have been aware, he said. They have to look at whether they want to continue.
Democrats researched the legality of Mr. Pecks attendance before inviting him to the caucus, Mr. Burns said.
County Democratic Chairman Mark J. Bellardini sought the advice of Frank G. Hoare, an attorney and former executive director of the state Democratic Committee, who said an exemption exists under which Mr. Peck can attend the caucus either as an invited guest or as an adherent of Democratic Party principles.
Thats what the state Legislature has used when one party decides to sit with another, Mr. Hoare said. Thats what I advised Mr. Bellardini.
Case law exists on both sides of the argument.
In 2006, a state Supreme Court judge concluded that a private assembly of the Democratic majority of the Erie County Legislature was not an exempt political caucus given the presence of the Republican county executive. Last year, a state appeals court rejected a lawsuit challenging New Yorks gay marriage law, determining that Republican state senators did not violate the Open Meetings Law when they had closed-door sessions with Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, who are not members of the GOP.
The difference in Mr. Pecks case is that he is a member of the county board, said Legislator Alex A. MacKinnon, R-Fowler.
You can invite guests to a caucus and we have done that, he said. The difference is the invitees are not members of the governing body. It probably would be best for him to wait until he switches his party. Thats not to say you cant talk with Democrats.
If it is legitimate for Republicans and Democrats to meet together privately to discuss business, then they could call a full meeting of the board and exclude the public, Mr. MacKinnon said.
If it continues, they are meeting illegally, said Legislator Joseph R. Lightfoot, R-Ogdensburg.
Mr. Freeman should go after independent Democrats who have joined with the Republican conference in the state Legislature to create a new coalition majority rather than criticize St. Lawrence County Democrats who are meeting with a fellow legislator who is a Republican in name only, Mr. Burns said.
Its that adherence to belief in what the party is doing that changes everything, Mr. Burns said. Don is joining us because he agrees with us. I dont see where it is illegal or improper. Theres definitely precedents for this.
Mr. Peck said he wanted to do what was legal.
One says one thing, one says the other, Mr. Peck said. Im going to go until they disinvite me.

Weddings can be expensive, and the reception can account for a substantial percentage of a couple's expenses.
Unlike the days of yesteryear when the bride's parents were responsible for financing the wedding, nowadays many couples pay for their own weddings, and some find themselves cash-strapped and looking for ways to save.
Trimming reception costs is one of the best ways couples can save money, and there are many ways to do just that and still ensure guests have a great time into the night.
* Limit the guest list. Receptions are more expensive the more guests a couple invites, so limiting the guest list is perhaps the best way to avoid breaking the bank to pay for the reception. Caterers and banquet halls typically charge per-person, so trimming the guest list by as few as 20 people can lead to substantial savings. Before sending out your save-the-date cards, peruse the guest list to determine if any guests can be removed. It might be nice to invite professional acquaintances, but if they aren't people you know socially then they aren't likely to be offended if they're not invited to the wedding.
* Choose a buffet instead of a sit-down meal. Choosing a buffet-style reception is another way to save money on the reception. Sit-down meals in which guests are brought their own plates can be significantly more expensive than buffet style. In addition, a buffet might have more options for guests, which benefits larger receptions with guests of various palates.
* Consider a package deal. Couples open to all-inclusive package deals, which typically include the cost of the wedding, reception and possibly even the honeymoon, can save money that way as well. These are most common for destination weddings, but couples might be able to find a package deal in their hometowns as well.
* Host the reception at a private residence. Another way to reduce reception costs is to avoid banquet halls entirely and host the reception at a private residence, whether it's your own home or that of a parent or other relative. This option will save you the cost of renting the banquet hall, but it might only be doable for couples having a smaller, more intimate wedding with relatively few guests.
* Hire a DJ instead of a band. Music presents another opportunity for cost-conscious couples to trim some of their reception costs. Some couples insist on live music, while others are fine hiring a DJ. If you're among the latter, go with the DJ, as disc jockeys tends to be far less expensive than live bands. If you simply must go with a live band, look for a local band who might be more willing to give a hometown discount.
Cost-conscious couples about to tie the knot can save substantial amounts of money by making a few adjustments with regard to their wedding reception.
A wedding cake is a crowning finale to a momentous wedding day. Couples spend hundreds of dollars on tiered confectionary creations, which provide great photo opportunities and even better desserts.
Though a wedding cake is a traditional component of wedding celebrations, professional bakers may charge anywhere from $2 to $6 per guest for the average cake. That could mean spending upwards of $900 for a cake to feed 150 guests.
There are many reasons why cakes may be so expensive. For instance, the equipment used to bake cakes does not come cheaply. Ingredients, such as butter, high-quality flours, chocolate, real vanilla, and others tend to have high price tags. Furthermore, the time that goes into baking and then intricately decorating the cake adds up to quite a bit of labor. For couples who prefer not to spend too much on a cake, there are ways to save money and still savor a delicious dessert.
* Ask a local bakery or restaurant if the pastry chef will create your wedding cake. Oftentimes, bakers who do not specialize in wedding cakes will make a cake at a much lower cost than bakeries known for their wedding cakes. If you adore a dessert at a particular restaurant, ask to have it duplicated.
* Commission an amateur baker, such as a friend or family member, to make your cake. There are many budding cake artists out there, several of which have the cursory skills to create a delicious and aesthetically appealing cake. Friends or family members may even make the cake for little or no cost.
* Keep decorations and flavors to a minimum. The more embellishments and designs you put on the cake, the more expensive it will be. Stick to the basics, and the cake won't cost as much.
* Look into culinary schools in your area. A student pastry chef may be able to produce a cake for you at a fraction of the cost of what an established baker may charge. This saves you money and the student can use your cake as part of his or her portfolio.
* Skip the tiered cake. Tiered cakes require careful stacking and engineering. Also, if the tiers themselves are made of crystal or another expensive material, it could inflate the cost of the cake. Choose a lower-profile cake to save money.
* Serve guests from a sheet cake. Some couples opt to have a dummy cake on display or just a small cake for cutting purposes, and then have waitstaff serve from a simple sheet cake. Guests rarely recognize the difference.
* Shop at a warehouse center. Warehouse centers often have an in-store bakery capable of producing cakes for large crowds. These cakes can be delicious and inexpensive. As long as you don't advertise where you bought the cake, there's a good chance no one will be able to detect a discounted cake.
* Choose ready-made cakes and stack them yourself. Find a bakery near you that keeps a constant supply of specialty cakes in their display cases. Purchase 2 to 3 cakes of the same variety and find cake pedestals from a party or craft store. Embellish the tiers with a few fresh flowers and you have a tiered cake for a minimal cost.
* Think about an alternative to cake. Tarts, pies, cream puffs, and other culinary creations may be more affordable and just as delicious as a lavish cake.
Once you announce your plans to get married, there's a good chance that people close to you will be ready and willing to dispense their share of advice. Some words of wisdom will be priceless, while others you can store away for another day.
When polling married couples, you will likely find they would change "this" or "that" about their weddings if given the chance to do it all over again. Here is some advice that you can choose to follow for your wedding day.
Tip #1: Trust your vendors
Couples often have unique ideas for their wedding day. It may seem tempting to spell out what you want in minute detail and insist on wedding vendors carrying out your wishes to a T. But the smarter idea may be to give vendors a little more free reign -- after all, they are the professionals.
"I had a vision in my head of what I wanted my centerpieces to look like," offers Jean M., Connecticut. "I gave the florist my suggestions and the 'feel' of what I was trying to create, but ultimately Ileft the finished product up to her. When I walked into the reception hall and saw my centerpiece baskets overflowing with fall-hued flowers, berries and twinkling candles, I was so excited I had left it up to the expert."
When deciding on particular aspects of the wedding, you can give your general ideas, but leave the finished product to the professionals. Don't list every song you want the deejay to play or micromanage all of the poses the photographer should take. After all, experienced pros have likely done this dozens of times in the past and could produce results you never dreamed possible.
Tip #2: Scale down
Unless you are planning on auditioning for the show "Over-the-Top Weddings," it might pay to make your wedding more about being personal and less about wowing the crowd with special effects and expensive treats. It's easy to be lured into extra dinner courses or be persuaded to release doves at the ceremony, but will these extras impact your relationship or the life you will be building together?
"If Ihad to do it all again, I would skip the dessert bar I had at my wedding," says Alice C., Ohio. "The spread of pies, pastries, cookies, and chocolates certainly looked impressive, but it cost me a small fortune. Also, people filled up on the dessert bar so much, they no longer had room to taste my special-ordered wedding cake."
Tip #3: Don't overextend
Your wedding will hopefully be a once-in-a-lifetime event. Therefore, couples often plan to spend a good deal of money to ensure their special day is perfect. Weddings are still viewed as a high-priority expense and most couples save for a long period of time despite sluggish consumer spending reports. According to the market research and analysis firm IBISWorld, nearly 60 percent of couples go over their budgets when getting married. Some do so at the risk of being in debt afterward.
"It can be easy to get carried away in wedding spending," shares Deirdre H., Michigan. "I went way over budget when getting my wedding gown and a few other components of my wedding. My husband and I struggled the first year of our marriage trying to fix our finances and battling a bad case of money-related stress."
Try to stick to a budget as much as possible so that you can enjoy yourself not only on the wedding day, but also long after the honeymoon has ended.
Tip #4: Keep it in the family
Selecting members of your wedding party can be challenging because there may be so many special people in your lives right now that you want to honor. Choosing a best man and a maid/matron of honor is a large responsibility because these people stand out in the wedding. Although couples struggle with their choices and want to please everyone, your safest bet is to choose a family member.
"I ended up choosing my best friend over my sister as maid of honor," says Clara T., Arizona. "Although we were very close at the time, we've since grown apart due to work relocation. My sister and I, however, talk and hang out frequently. I regret not having asked my sister to be my maid of honor, considering hers is a friendship I know will last a long time."
Unless you don't have close family members or your relationship with your siblings or cousins is strained, choose a family member to serve as best man or maid of honor.
It is easy to be overwhelmed when planning a wedding, and couples can expect to be bombarded with advice. However, it could pay to heed the advice of couples who have already lived and learned from their wedding choices.
Those thinking about tying the knot in the months to come may be discouraged by how expensive weddings can be. But with a little ingenuity and a hands-on approach, couples can have a wedding that is inexpensive and memorable at the same time.
According to CostofWedding.com, on average, U.S. couples spend $26,542 for their weddings. Weddingbells magazine states that the average cost for a wedding in Canada is $23,330, up from $20,129 in 2010. These amounts do not include the cost for an engagement ring or wedding bands. With such a high price tag, some couples may wonder if they can afford their dream wedding or if there are ways to cut costs. Having a backyard, DIY wedding can be the answer.
Although some may envision a backyard wedding with picnic benches and Dad at the grill, it can be a much classier affair than that. Smart couples are realizing that the money they would normally spend on a big wedding at an outside venue can be put to better use, either through buying a new home or fixing up one they may already own. Furthermore, for couples who are picky about details, having a DIY event ensures that they can control the details and have them as personal as they would like.
Getting Started
A DIY wedding is one that will take much more work than simply hiring vendors and leaving the details to them. But the money saved with sweat equity can be substantial. A well-planned wedding is the best start.
Grab a notebook and start making lists of all the things you will need:
* location
* tables and chairs
* linens
* food
* silverware and glassware
* invitations
* photography
* music
* officiant
* centerpieces and other decor
* cake or dessert
* lighting
* attire
* flowers
Work in Advance
Many items necessary for a wedding can be bought in advance. Some couples find that purchasing low-cost items at discount stores turns out to be less expensive than renting. For example, inexpensive glasses and silverware can be bought at dollar stores or chains like Ikea. Later on these items can be kept, sold or even donated to shelters.
Tablecloths don't have to be the traditional kind. It may be less expensive to purchase pieces of fabric from a fabric store and dressing them up oneself. Candles can be stockpiled relatively easy and provide a very affordable means of ambient light. Plan out centerpiece ideas and figure out which components can be bought and stored. Then items can be assembled at leisure. Wedding stationery is one thing that will have to be bought well in advance so there will be time enough to printout save-the-dates, invitations and response cards, as well as mail them.
An informal wedding may mean couples can get simple attire. Buying off the rack may mean a smaller price tag for gowns. Gentleman may be able to fare with sportcoats and slacks. Purchase wardrobe essentials several months in advance to be sure there will be time for alterations, if necessary.
Enlist the help of family and friends to get many of the tasks completed. Upon asking, many couples find there are members of the family who have skills in certain areas, which can be tapped for the wedding. There may be a gourmet chef, a disc jockey, a photographer or even someone who can officiate the vows. Having these people on board means a great reduction in costs.
Readying the Venue
Because couples will be doing the work themselves, it's best to start several days in advance of the wedding (weather permitting). Be sure the grounds are well groomed and landscaped. Ensure there are no tripping hazards and that there is a sturdy surface for placing tables or creating a dance floor.
It may pay to ask an electrician or someone who dabbles in electric work to help string some lights to better illuminate the area, especially for when the sun goes down.
Set up the tables and chairs to finalize placement the day before. Figure out where the ceremony will take place. A small arbor can mark the area and make a nice photo backdrop. Dress the tables with linens and settings the morning of the wedding.
One splurge couples may want to make is hiring a waitstaff to help set up food service areas, serve as bartenders and clear away dishes and other messes. This way the bride and groom can mingle with guests.
Other Tips and Tricks
Here are some other ways to save money on DIY weddings.
* Fruit is less expensive than flowers for centerpieces.
* Include postcard response cards in wedding invites. The postage is less, and you don't have to spend money on an extra envelope.
* Be sure to check with your town if you need a permit or variance for having so many cars parked by the house in the event of a backyard wedding. Otherwise you could be facing a fine.
* Many different foods can be cooked in advance and frozen instead of hiring a catering service.
* Consider favors that also double as table centerpieces.
* Bouquets can easily be made with store-bought flowers, some floral tape and decorative ribbon.
* Restrict the bar to wine and beer, and you'll save money on expensive liquors.
A DIY wedding can be a fun, memorable event that costs a couple a fraction of what it would be to have it held at an expensive location.
Couples must make many decisions when planning their wedding, not the least of which is choosing floral arrangements.
Some couples have never had to make choices regarding floral arrangements, so it's understandable if they need some help before making a decision that will likely make a significant impact on the appearance of their weddings.
* Go with your own style. Couples should not feel pressured to go with a more traditional style if that's not something that suits them. Instead, choose a style that most appeals to you, be it neutral or bold colors, formal or more casual arrangements, and so on. Your style might also reveal a preference for something other than roses, which is perfectly alright. It's your wedding.
* Stay in-season when possible. When choosing a floral arrangement, it's important to consider when you'll be getting married and which flowers will be in-season. It's possible to find most floral varieties all year, but if you choose seasonal flowers, you'll likely pay less and such flowers will be more readily available and durable.
* Don't go it alone. The wedding day is going to be busy enough without brides and grooms having to worry about arranging the bouquets. A professional florist, ideally one who has come highly recommended, should be able to work within your budget and produce a visually stunning end product.
* Consider candles to save money. Many couples hope for a floral centerpiece at each table, but that can prove costly. If the floral budget is somewhat limited, supplement the centerpieces with candles to save some money. The centerpieces likely won't be as grandiose, but smaller floral arrangements coupled with candles can create a romantic feel.
* Stick to the budget. Couples will find it's very easy to go over budget quickly with regard to floral arrangements. But a good florist should be able to work within your budget and produce an arrangement that's visually impressive without costing a fortune.

LAS VEGAS, October 7, 2010 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today previewed the CR-2 Digital Non-Mydriatic Retinal Camera1 at Vision Expo West. In addition to the CR-2 retinal camera, which is awaiting FDA clearance, Canon will showcase its current complete line of ophthalmic solutions at Vision Expo West, in the Canon booth (booth #: MS6063) at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, October 7th – 9th, 2010.
Weighing only 33 pounds, the CR-2 Digital Non-Mydriatic Retinal Camera has a light, more compact leading-edge design, resulting in an intuitive instrument that is easy to use. The CR-2 retinal camera can be easily installed and takes up minimal office space or for added convenience, can be easily transported when needed. The illuminated control panel allows medical staff to navigate operations in darkened rooms. Contributing to a lower total-cost-of-ownership, the CR-2 retinal camera's energy-efficient design with white LED for flash intensity improves maintenance and uses less power, helping to reduce energy costs in medical facilities.
The CR-2 Digital Non-Mydriatic Retinal Camera's low flash intensity minimizes pupil constriction thereby shortening the time required for taking multiple pictures such as binocular, stereo photography. It also helps avoid having to retake images due to patient's blinking. The CR-2 retinal camera's small pupil mode has a 3.3mm diameter that contributes to efficient screening and assists when a patient's pupil is difficult to dilate. The auto exposure function optimizes image brightness without having to manually set the observation light and flash intensity.
"Canon understands the need to deliver an ophthalmic solution that improves patient comfort and operator efficiency," said Tsuneo Imai, senior director and general manager, Medical Systems Division, Canon U.S.A. "At this year's show, we are excited to preview the CR-2 Digital Non-Mydraitic Retinal Camera, an instrument developed to make it simple and convenient for ophthalmic professionals to provide quality care to their patients by providing outstanding digital imaging technology."

Comments about Patagonia Long-Sleeved Fjord Flannel Shirt (Women's):
I originally bought this shirt in a size 2 at a competitor. I am 5'7, 125lbs and a size 4 and like my clothes to be a little fitted. I thought this would be cute to wear with leggings and boots. The 2 fits my narrow athletic shoulders and fell nicely around stomach and waist, but was tight across the chest. I am barely a 34B with no chest at all. When buttoned up, the shirt is tight across my chest. I ordered a 4 from Rockcreek and although it was a little bigger, it still pulled and was a little tight on shoulder, like baby gap style. I returned for a size 6 and resigned to the fact that I would wear with skinny jeans and layer as a "jacket." It is super cute and I threw a purple North Face Anaconagua down vest over it and it was super toasty and very stylish. I have the Ikat Purple and it goes with navy, plum and dark green skinny jeans and leggings.

Comments about Patagonia Long-Sleeved Fjord Flannel Shirt (Women's):
I absolutely love this flannel. It is the thickest softest flannel and really well made. It pained me to have to send it back but it runs big and the XS was too big for me (5'4", 107 lb, thin runners athletic build). I do like my clothes to fit on the slim side and not be baggy. If you are considering size I would order a size down for a flattering fit. The gaucho/blue butterfly is a great pattern...nice change from plaid. Highly recommend this shirt, just note the fit situation being on the larger side.

(1) The military judge and members of a general or special court-martial may be challenged by the accused or the trial counsel for cause stated to the court. The military judge, or, if none, the court, shall determine the relevancy and validity of challenges for cause, and may not receive a challenge to more than one person at a time. Challenges by the trial counsel shall ordinarily be presented and decided before those by the accused are offered.
(2) If exercise of a challenge for cause reduces the court below the minimum number of members required by section 816 of this title (article 16), all parties shall (notwithstanding section 829 of this title (article 29)) either exercise or waive any challenge for cause then apparent against the remaining members of the court before additional members are detailed to the court. However, peremptory challenges shall not be exercised at that time.
(1) Each accused and the trial counsel are entitled initially to one peremptory challenge of members of the court. The military judge may not be challenged except for cause.
(2) If exercise of a peremptory challenge reduces the court below the minimum number of members required by section 816 of this title (article 16), the parties shall (notwithstanding section 829 of this title (article 29)) either exercise or waive any remaining peremptory challenge (not previously waived) against the remaining members of the court before additional members are detailed to the court.

All government employees are protected by the U.S. Constitution against irrational discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. In addition, some measure of protection already exists under Title VII based on gender, which has been held to include gender identity and expression.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and several courts have interpreted Title VII to protect transgender employees, and the EEOC has interpreted Title VII to cover sexual orientation discrimination. The Supreme Court has held that the EEOC's interpretations of Title VII are entitled to "great deference."

We may know Marvin and Andreas as an established couple but even they had that awkward first encounter where they were unsure how far they could take it without crossing professional boundaries. But after a couple of months of working together the ice is broken thanks to a playful, after-hours grapple .

A committee appointed to hear public opinion about naming the new municipal building for late State Representative Jeannette Wallace voted unanimously against the proposal Monday.
Forty nine residents either commented or supported comments on the county's Open Forum. County officials also received more than 70 emails, letters and phone calls and approximately 20 citizens attended two public meetings on the question.
"Los Alamos Municipal Building" received overwhelming support.
Los Alamos resident John Bartlit offered a slight variation on that theme.
"I do not support naming the new public building in town for any person. The opportunity should be used instead to honor and publicize the values of democracy that have served our nation so long and well, namely the unique role that active citizenship has in good governance," Bartlit said.
"I propose the name it the Los Alamos County Community Town Hall, the Los Alamos Town Hall or Town Hall on Central to commemorate a value that began our nation. Municipal building and town hall are historical synonyms."
At the second public meeting, Bartlit said that several residents had expressed support for that idea. Councilor Fran Berting said she had also heard support for the town hall name.

Outfox was a phrase given new meaning by celebrity animal expert Jack Hanna on Saturday in Watertown.
A nocturnal fennec fox from the Sahara Desert was one of about a dozen rare animals that delighted a full house of spectators during Mr. Hannas Into the Wild Live show at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds Arena, part of the DPAO/Toyota/Car-Freshner Summer Concert Series. Also showcased were a sloth, kangaroo, penguin and cheetah, along with video clips featuring close encounters with snakes, gorillas and other wildlife from the expeditions of Jungle Jack over the past three decades.
A camera zoomed in on the foxs head to let the crowd see it on a big screen, revealing an outsize pair of ears. It was Mr. Hannas cue for a joke.
David Letterman said about this fox, Jack, that looks like someone got screwed up in the lab, he said. The crowd laughed. He explained the foxs large ears play an important role, making it one of the toughest animals on earth.
Like elephants that have big ears that flap, they work like a radiator, he said. The fox uses thousands of blood vessels in his ears to help him stay cool in the desert.
And unlike thirsty humans, Mr. Hanna said, the fox doesnt need water to survive.
They live by eating insects, venomous snakes and lizards. He loves to eat scorpions, he said. And if you look at him at night, you see a pair of pink eyes.
Mr. Hanna, who wears a safari hat and talks rapidly with a Southern accent, explained how animals with highly unusual characteristics, such as the fennec fox, have adapted over time to survive. An Asian palm civet showcased on stage, for example, is a tiny gray and black animal that looks like it would be vulnerable in the wilderness. But think twice about that, Mr. Hanna said, because the intelligent animal survives in jungles that are thicker and hotter than the Amazon, and he eats everything. He loves venomous snakes and can even eat a king cobra.
This particular palm civet, Mr. Hanna said, was caught on videotape outwitting a king cobra in a dance of death.
He runs and runs and runs around the cobra to make it turn around, he said. Eventually it gets dizzy, and he bites the cobras head off.
Another amazing animal exhibited was a rare Egyptian serval cat, which has an amazing ability to catch birds. The cat looked docile on stage, but it turns into an agile beast when hunting prey, Mr. Hanna said.
Its one of the few cats in the world that can catch a bird flying, he said. It hides in the grass and jumps up like a bullet, six to eight feet, to catch birds.
The show concluded with the much-anticipated cheetah from the Columbus Zoo in Ohio, brought on stage by three handlers. Mr. Hanna, director emeritus at the zoo, said it includes 10,000 acres of wild land for the cheetah to roam freely. Although cheetahs can run up to 70 mph, they have a hard time killing their prey when compared with other cats, such as lions.
Cheetahs are a weak cat in the wild, he said. She will study her prey for two to three days before attacking. She explodes at 60 mph in less than three seconds to grab her prey, but 70 percent of the time they get away because she has to grab the throat right away.
Cheetahs have razor-sharp focus, Mr. Hanna said. They can pay close attention to small animals at long distances. Helping them do so are black teardrop marks under their eyes to block the sun, similar to baseball players who use black grease.
Isnt it cool that Mother Nature invented it before baseball players? Mr. Hanna joked.
Six-year-old Kyerin R. Rodas, who attends kindergarten in Calcium, said her favorite animals were the cheetah and fennec fox. When she saw the foxs big ears, she said, I knew that it was a desert fox. I know that because I saw it on Go, Diego, Go! the TV cartoon.
An animal blooper video highlighted some of the funniest situations Mr. Hanna has been in over the past three decades.
The grossest was when he kissed the orangutan, Kyerin said.

Scientists at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have published the first study that explains how viruses reprogram the cells they invade to promote their continued growth within an organism. This knowledge could have implications in cancer treatments based on similarities between viruses and cancer cell mechanisms, and even lead to drugs that could inhibit the virus that causes the common cold.
Led by Minh Thai, post-doctoral scholar and Heather Christofk, assistant professor of molecular & medical pharmacology, the study was published on Tuesday April 1, 2014 online ahead of print in the journal Cell Metabolism.
A cell's metabolism is basically the workings of its insides; that is the group of physical and chemical processes that feed and maintain the cell, allow it to reproduce, and eventually decide when it will die off and be replaced by its daughter cells. When a virus infects a cell, it triggers changes in the cell's metabolism, essentially reprogramming the cell in such a way that it promotes maintenance and reproduction of the virus. Although it has been known known that viruses reprogram cells, the molecular mechanisms that a virus uses to accomplish this have remained unknown until this study.
It also has been discovered that when normal cells become cancer cells, they are reprogrammed to act in some ways very similar to how virus-infected cells do. This means that the cells change their metabolism to support the maintenance and reproduction, and thus the spread, of cancer cells.
"In our laboratory, we've always been interested in how cancer cells acquire metabolic changes compared to normal cells," Christofk said. "We decided to look at viruses and how they change the metabolism of cells they invade, because we thought they might be using mechanisms similar to those in cancer cells, and that there might be some crossover in the way the mechanisms work."
"We hoped that by finding out how viruses reprogram cell metabolism we could learn more about how cancer cells do it," Christofk added.
In their research, Drs. Thai and Christofk and colleagues discovered that an adenovirus (the type of virus that causes the common cold) reprograms the cell it invades to be able to take on more glucose, an important nutrient for cells and viruses. The virus also reprograms the cell to increase its use of the glucose to create energy and biomass (grow larger). These metabolic alterations enable the virus to begin replicating inside the cell. Thus, Thai and Christofk have elucidated how a virus reprograms cells to its own benefit.
"With this knowledge we hope to begin designing drugs that can inhibit the increased glucose uptake in these cells," said Thai. "This could lead to drugs that stop the growth of viral infections, the most common being like cold or flu, but also meningitis or some types of pneumonia. Then it might be possible to use the same type of drug to stop the growth of cancer cells."
This research was supported by the National Institutes of Health, the Searle Scholars Program, and the UCLA Broad Stem Cell Research Center – Concern Foundation Research Award.
UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has more than 240 researchers and clinicians engaged in disease research, prevention, detection, control, treatment and education. One of the nation's largest comprehensive cancer centers, the Jonsson center is dedicated to promoting research and translating basic science into leading-edge clinical studies. In July 2013, the Jonsson Cancer Center was named among the top 12 cancer centers nationwide by U.S. News & World Report, a ranking it has held for 14 consecutive years.

POTSDAM SUNY Potsdams latest artist in residence approaches much of his sculpture in a roundabout way, messing with viewers perceptions by imagining what common objects would look like if they were all shaped like a sphere.
Lars E. Fisk has already given this treatment to subjects like a barn, a tree, a street and a Volkswagon. Soon, a spherical Winnebago RV will be unveiled as the latest permanent statue on campus. His creation, the Winnebagoball, is part of the colleges annual Lougheed Festival of the Arts. Students are helping to create the sculpture, which will be officially unveiled near the colleges Performing Arts Center on Friday.
It gives the students an opportunity to take part in the process, he said. Its great for me too, because it serves as a teaching experience.
Mr. Fisk, a Vermont native now living in Queens, said he enjoys representing a recognizable object using a shape that is fairly uncommon both in nature and in architecture.
Its two unrelated things being forced together, he said. The act of transformation becomes a point of interest.
He chose a Winnebago trailer for his Lougheed festival sculpture because of the Adirondacks connection to the camping industry, and because the festivals sponsors, Donald L. and Kathryn K. Lougheed, own a RV business in Texas.
The interior of the large steel sphere has been furnished with a carpet and soon will be fitted with a dashboard, miniature sink and other typical RV accoutrements. Headlights, a rear window and decals will adorn the outside.
Many of the pieces have been custom-made, or repurposed to take their place in the sculpture.
This sort of approach to sculpture calls for an almost industrial finish, Mr. Fisk said.
Meanwhile, the festival, which is in its third year, continues with classes, workshops, demonstrations and performances through Sunday.
It brings all the arts together, said Michael R. Sitton, dean of the Crane School of Music.
Tonight at 7 p.m. the campus will host a Festival of Light with a burning sculpture and a fashion show.
For Crane students, the highlight of the festival comes on Saturday.
The biggest thing of course is the annual end-of-year concert thats coming up, Mr. Sitton said. Students, faculty and guest musicians will perform Carl Orffs Carmina Burana and Franz Schuberts unfinished symphony at Hosmer Hall at 7:30 p.m.
A full schedule of festival events can be found at http://wdt.me/LsXeq5.

LaSalle County Generating Station's Unit 1 resumed producing electricity Sunday, May 25 at 4:18 p.m. (CT).
MARSEILLES, Ill. (May 26, 2009) - LaSalle County Generating Station's Unit 1 resumed producing electricity Sunday, May 25 at 4:18 p.m. (CT). Unit 1 automatically and safely shut down due to the failure of a lightning protection device in the one of the plant's four main power transformers. Station personnel performed testing on the transformer throughout the weekend, and testing indicated that the transformer may safely return to service. LaSalle County Generating Station is located approximately 75 miles southwest of Chicago. With both units at full power, the site produces more than 2,200 megawatts net, which is enough electricity for 2.3 million homes.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately $19 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 485,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

CoroCoro Comic is a Japanese magazine filled with manga and aimed at Japanese kids. The most popular manga take up the most real estate on the manga's cover, enticing kids to pick up the comic (or to beg their parents to buy it).
Since October 2011, Gundam Age has gradually gotten smaller on CoroCoro's cover—it's like the manga is vanishing! Check out the month-by-month progression.
The manga barely appears on the most recent CoroCoro cover (not pictured).
Gundam Age is penned by Akihiro Hino, the sleep deprived man behind Professor Layton and Level-5. And, like I said, it's a bit crap.

Nikkifitness, one of the personal trainers over at miltary.com, has been working on a new workout called Slimnastics. These funky moves are probably more for the ladies, what with the splits (not of the banana variety.) Still I wanted to link Nikki, as she supports the all-important (and infrequently slandered) fitness of military wivery. She's even written a book about the magic:
I created a new book and DVD workout called Slimnastics®! It combines gymnastics-inspired plyometric cardio intervals — like jump tucks, split jumps, and squat thrusts — with advanced balancing yoga moves — like firefly (titibasana), wheel push ups, warrior III booty boost, rockstar, handstands, side crow and 8 angle pose (astavakrasana) — that build upper body strength, boost your booty and require a lot of breath control and mental focus.
Soon after Slimnastics, I am happy to report that two similar results-based classes are taking New York City and the country by storm: BUTI® and Deep EXtreme. BUTI is a high-intensity Crunch workout that fuses yoga and dance with circuits of plyometrics and conditioning. BUTI® dance moves taken from various styles that focus on an intense shaking of the hips including Miami Booty Dance, Brazilian Baile Funk, Hip Hop, Crunk and African Tribal.
The Miami Booty Dance? Hmm, not sure I gots 'da funk for that one. Anyway, my Miami workout gear for that particular blend of awesomeness is a wee bit tight.
