Here's how RW members rated this race (338 votes).
In short: Great off-road raceDate of review: October 22, 2012
In short: My fourth time out and a great race every time. In full: Wet a muddy this year but times were faster than usual so didn't seem to slow anyone down. Date of review: October 22, 2012
In short: Fantastic raceIn full: This was my first Greensand Marathon. I'm a relative trail running novice despite my previous 8 marathons, but this puts other marathons to shame. Superbly organised, loved the litte touches like the name on the number, free tea & coffee, swimming, Olympic torch, breakfast afterwards and excellent facilities. Friendly atmosphere, marshalls few and far between understandly for a course like this, however, the course was well marked out except for a few places, this was only noticeable because how well it was marked in other areas. I was a little concerned at the time but there was no need, just keep running!! Marshalls always so encouraging and friendly, much appreciated. Course was very challenging but flew by due to the scenic route and more importnat things to concentrate on plus great momentos at the finish, this is a must for serious marathoners and those seeking a challenge. This has encouraged me to do more trail runs, in prep for next year. well done Dr Rob, see you thenDate of review: October 22, 2012
In short: Hilly, scenic, achy legs following day! In full: This is a great race, a real challenge, don't underestimate those hills. I have done many ultras this was one of the toughest, but well worth the effort. Very moving waiting at start singing Jerusalem, great views on a fine to take your mind off the pain. Cooked breakfast to finish with. Good organisation, friendly marshals and a great Dr Rob. Roll on 2013.Date of review: October 22, 2012
In short: Fantastically, strenuously, muddily amazingIn full: I have completed the South Downs and Three Forts so thought 'how much tougher can this be' .. The answer, a whole bucket load .. Everyone was so friendly and encouraging .. When I felt like giving up everyone lifted me .. top 50 (49th) place..excellent organisation..brilliant route..and a fry up ***** 5 stars from me :o)Date of review: October 22, 2012
In short: A tough race, but very rewarding and lovely scenery In full: Dr Rob, the race director runs the event like clockwork, everyone singing 'Jerusalem,' before starting off creates a very friendly atmosphere, all the marshals on the way round were jolly and supportive and to top everything off there is a full English breakfast for all runners included in the entry fee. Ran it in 2011 and 2012, will be back again in 2013 and would highly recommend it to any runner looking for a challenging marathon course. Date of review: October 22, 2012
In full: I've done over 20 marathons and ultras and this was one of the best. It is obviously hard, I measured 3,200 feet of ascent on my Garmin, and was very muddy, but running off road is so much more interesting than a big city marathon. If it wasn't for the weather the views would also have been gloriousDate of review: October 22, 2012
In short: good fun race, very well organisedIn full: thanks to all involved in organising this great race, especially Dr Rob and the marshals. I loved it. There's something for everyone - from those that want a real challenge in 26.2m to those who do it for the goodies at the end with a medal, top (with name on it), and a mug.Date of review: October 22, 2012
In short: A must-do event if you like trail marathons.Date of review: October 22, 2012
In short: Hi Dr Rob I just wanted to say a huge thank you to your team of marshals and yourself for putting on such a great event! The course is stunning and very tough! Truly a great trail running event!Date of review: October 22, 2012

STREIT, OKPOSO WILL NOT BE SHUT DOWNWeekend forecast: 0 pts for TBL and COL, 2 for NYI
With points in 8 of their 15 games since March 1, the Islanders cannot be accused of tanking. And they're not about to start now.
Contrary to speculation in some media circles, sources tell Point Blank that the Islanders have no intention of shutting down top defenseman Mark Streit and top forward Kyle Okposo for the final five games of the season. While both are likely to miss Saturday's home match against Tampa Bay, the team hopes to have their key players back in the lineup on Tuesday when they play in Carolina.
Islanders coach Scott Gordon made his position on the roster clear after last night's loss to Montreal. "If they're healthy, they're going to play," he said.
With Ryan Smyth done in Colorado and Vincent Lacavalier opting for surgery in Tampa Bay, some have made the leap that the Islanders' reaction was, "Oh yeah? We're taking out Okposo"! But that's not happening.
Except for some late-season fun with the shootout extra-point – tomorrow's plan: Rechlicz, Danis, Boggsy the trainer – the Islanders are proceeding like an organization that wants to win every game.
I know this is awful, but I'm going to do it anyway. I am locking in the following for this weekend:
- The Lightning lose tonight in New Jersey.
- The Islanders defeat the Lightning on Saturday at the Veterans Memorial.
- Colorado loses Sunday in Vancouver.
If all goes to form, here's what the Tavheduch Watch will look like heading into the final week of the season:
1. Islanders 26-43-9 61 pts (4 games remaining)
2. Colorado 31-45-2 64 pts (4 GR)
3. Tampa Bay 24-38-17 65 pts (3 GR)
On Tuesday, the Islanders play in Carolina (perhaps with Streit and Okposo back), Tampa Bay hosts Pittsburgh and Colorado plays in San Jose.
If you have any trouble sleeping, you'll probably have plenty of company.

We all know what can happen when kids and guns mix. And today I will tell you some stories about that very thing. The kids' names were Kendra and Alyssa, and then there was the 11-year-old boy whose name we just don't know. What we do know is that they lived in places called Bryan County, Albuquerque, and Palmview. We know that guns were in their homes — and that something horrible befell them.
Last year, 12-year-old Oklahoman Kendra St. Clair was home alone, unsupervised. At some point she accessed her mother's handgun — a .40-caliber Glock. Then Kendra pulled the trigger.
And that bullet tore into flesh.
You probably know the rest of the story.
Or maybe not.
The bullet tore into the flesh of a 32-year-old home invader, causing him to flee. Kendra was left scared and crying, but unscathed.
The story of Albuquerque 11-year-old Alyssa Gutierrez turned out differently. Three teenage burglars broke into her home, but they fled after she merely grabbed her mother's rifle. No one was hurt, but the criminals were caught.
But sometimes innocents do get shot. Such was the case with an 11-year-old Palmview boy in 2010. At home with his mother, he got his hands on a .22-caliber rifle. And after the two armed and masked illegal aliens who had broken into their home shot through their bedroom door after the mother refused to open it, hitting the boy in the hip, he returned fire. He struck one of the criminals in the neck, causing them both to flee. They were apprehended when the wounded miscreant showed up at a local hospital.
These were children who lived in places called Bryan County, Albuquerque, and Palmview. Thank God, they still live in those places. And that's what can happen when kids and guns mix.
If you're unacquainted with my work, you perhaps didn't expect this piece to take the turn it did. You perhaps didn't hear these stories; the mainstream media doesn't report such things much. But now that you have, ponder this question: do you wish these children hadn't had access to firearms? Because they won't if the gun-control crowd gets its way.

Doreen Hing saw the same problem during her years as a shoe designer, and grew weary of it. When she began to observe it again, this time in yoga mats, she decided to put a stop to it. She was "visually bored" with the solid-colored mats all around, so she came up with mats that are anything but boring. Mats need carriers, other yoga accessories need roomy tote bags, and before she knew it she had...read more

Unofficial results: Kelly wins CD8 Republican primary
Kelly narrowly lost to Gabby Giffords two years ago; now he faces Ron Barber in a special election in June.
Web Producer: Marissa Pasquet and Sara Wright
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Unoffical results show Republican Jesse Kelly as the winner of the Congressional District 8 Special Election Primary.
The other three candidates: Frank Antenori, Martha McSally, and Dave Sitton, have all conceded.
Jesse now faces off against Democrat and former Giffords aide Ron Barber in the June 17th General Election. Giffords tapped her aide as her preferred replacement.
Barber released this statement on the election results:
"I am running for Congress to help rebuild Southern Arizona's middle class. I am committed to solutions that create jobs, and balance the budget the right way-not on the backs of our seniors. Creating good middle-class jobs, looking out for our military and their families and veterans, protecting Social Security and Medicare, and securing our border---those will be my main priorities in Congress. "Unfortunately, Jesse Kelly's agenda would put the rich first and leave middle class families last. He supports a radical tax plan that would increase taxes by 23% for middle class families while lowering them for millionaires and billionaires. When it comes to benefits that seniors have spent a lifetime to earn, Jesse Kelly said that Medicare should be eliminated - seniors need to 'get off the public dole'-and Social Security should be 'phased out.' Jesse Kelly would even abolish the minimum wage. Kelly's priorities are the wrong priorities for Southern Arizona's middle class families and seniors."
Also on the General Election ballot: Green Party candidate Charlie Manolakis.

24 Projects to Make with Sharpiescraftyamy
I can't help it. I see bright and pretty Sharpie colors and I want them. I have a huge collection in all sorts of shades and I love using them. I never realized how many different crafts I could make with them until doing a little research recently for a gift idea. I was quickly whisked into the awesome world I like to call "coloring everything with permanent markers." The red shoes above are one of the projects that I love; but there are so many more. Find them right after the jump.

To Catch A Thief is supposed to be a mystery having to do with the exertions Cary Grant must make as a famous jewel thief who has retired and is unjustly suspected of having resumed his vocation. The real mystery is how the product of Hitchcock's direction, given such care, toil and intelligence, could be so poor. Jessie Royce Landis gives a remarkable performance as the heroine's mother, and Danielle Lamar is more than remarkable, when the script permits her to be.

Since there has been so little detailed consideration, as yet, of the latest Russian disarmament plan, by the press or by responsible political leaders, the New Republic this week dispenses with its Behind-the-Headlines reports in order to present the following analysis and interpretation. AT THE summit, where Britain, France, the Soviet Union and the United States are soon to meet, the weather prediction from all sides is cold. The men who are to meet there share one condition: they are shivering. For its own reasons each government privately fears the encounter.
TODAY, some 20 years after the apparent unlamented demise of Technocracy, that doctrine is only just coming into its own—in our architecture. Architects, in collaboration with numerous home owners, businesses and universities (not to mention the U N), are producing numberless permanent monuments to the theory. Harvard University's Graduate Student Dormitory, Illinois Tech's Campus, Lever Brothers New York headquarters, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology's new auditorium are only our premiere examples.
IN SOME underdeveloped areas overseas which have become crucial to the future of freedom, hundreds of millions of people toil with scant means which make it hard to maintain a bare standard of living and to resist Communist encroachment. In sharp contrast, the United States now possesses an immense reservoir of idle men and other productive strength, pleading to be used to meet our needs. Between now and the end of this year, we can bring more than 214 million unemployed and new workers—the most skilled and productive in the world—into the stream of usefulness.
It is a serious pity that one can only praise the film version of George Orwell's Animal Farm as a valuable beginning or experiment, and hardly more than that. For the project, under the sponsorship of Louis de Rochemont, was clearly given the benefit of a great deal of intelligence, devotion and skill, to say almost nothing of the amount of money involved. The reviews in the daily newspaper have already pronounced the damnation of faint praise upon the film with a genuine kindness which will serve no purpose and certainly will not help at the box office. One can only hope that Mr.

Summer may be drawing to a close, but Barbecue for the Troops events are still flaring up around the United States. Nearly 950 people have registered to host events at barbecueforthetroops.org.
Fox News reporter Elizabeth Prann and her husband, Baltimore Orioles pitcher Darren O'Day, hosted a Barbecue for the Troops for more than 180 attendees on Aug. 4 at Camden Yards in Baltimore. Guests included 18 wounded, ill and injured troops and their and 10 Orioles players.
"We loved telling our heroes in person how much we appreciated them," Prann said in an email.
She said the event had raised roughly $17,000, including a $5,000 donation from the Orioles. That number is expected to climb, with donations still coming in from an online auction.
It's not too late to show your appreciation for America's military by hosting a Barbecue for the Troops. Find out more by going to the website mentioned above or call 1-855-4USO-BBQ.
Before recruits bound for Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MRCD) San Diego lay eyes on their first drill instructor, they are introduced to a USO volunteer at the San Diego International Airport.
"It's both the happiest and saddest day of a young recruit's life," said Brig. Gen. Daniel D. Yoo, MCRD commanding general, at the grand opening of the USO Neil Ash Airport Center. "It's the happiest day when they are introduced to some of the warmest people on this planet: USO volunteers. Then it quickly becomes the saddest when they step off that bus onto the yellow footprints to meet a creature called a [drill instructor]."
The new 10,000-square-foot facility located just outside the San Diego International Airport will be open every day and will support more than 125,000 troops and their families annually. It will offer not only refreshments, wireless high-speed Internet and Skype access, but luggage room and expanded restrooms to monitors listing airline departure and arrival times so troops can track changes to their flights.
The center also features 15 sculptures – representing individuality, community and connectivity – created by coLAB Studio and made possible by the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority's Public Art Program.
"Looking at this wonderful facility, I think about the enormous support the airport authority and the San Diego community provide for our military, their families and USO San Diego," said USO Neil Ash Airport Center Director Bobby Woods.
Like its predecessor, the center is named in honor of Neil Ash, a World War II and Korean War veteran and the visionary behind the creation of the first USO center at San Diego International Airport in 1990.
This summer, a group of formerNFL players continued the 48-yearrelationship between the NFL andthe USO with a USO Entertainmenttour to visit with deployed troops.
Linebackers Chris Draft and Donnie Edwards joined return specialist/wide receiver Eric Metcalf and former NFL executive and current ESPN analyst Bill Polian on a week-long trip to the Middle East this summer. On a mission to celebrate troops and boost morale, the team visited more than six military work sites.
This tour marked the fifth USO trip for Edwards, who has traveled to five countries since 2007, and the first for Draft, Metcalf and Polian.
Last March, the USO and NFLsent out nine football stars on tourabroad.
Michelle Turner has an eye for detail.
The fourth-generation Washington-area native has spent the last 13-plus years of her career with the USO and currently holds the title of senior manager, accounting. But before she was responsible for tracking the USO's expenditures, she had to learn how to work with nuances of a different kind.
"In order to get my first job running a printing press, I had to reproduce the John Falter print 'Ice Skating in Central Park' with exact precision," said Turner, a lithographer by trade before earning an accounting degree from Strayer University. "This undertaking included everything from shooting the negative, to printing the four-color copy on a printing press. It was the most nerve wracking, challenging and rewarding thing I had ever done, but [it] also prepared me for parenthood and my subsequent career change."
Turner – who is married with two daughters – broke into the accounting field in 1989 and joined the USO's accounting team as a contractor a decade later. Her father and two uncles were Vietnam veterans, so she saw the organization's cause as a natural fit.
And while she's seen a multitude of positive changes during her tenure at the USO, the one thing she feels has stayed the same is the camaraderie.
"I can truly say that I have never worked with such a great group of people," she said. "As an organization, we celebrate our triumphs and mourn our losses together the same as any close-knit family would, and that's an attribute I've not experienced anywhere else."
USO Warrior and Family Centers are built with an eye toward the future, but the center in Bethesda, Md., will also honor the past.
The USO announced it will officially dedicate its next USO Warrior and Family Center in honor of Prescott S. Bush.
Bush, President George H.W. Bush's father and President George W. Bush's grandfather, chaired the USO National Campaign during World War II, helping raise $34 million in 1942, his first year at the helm.
The USO Warrior and Family Center at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., is slated to open in spring 2014.
"Dad was totally devoted to supporting the USO and its noble mission … and he would be inspired not only to see how that morally important charge has been carried out to this day – but also to see the energy and thought being so diligently invested in the USO's future," President George H.W. Bush, who recently turned 89, said in a statement. "Service was my father's creed, you might say, and our family is very grateful to know his name will forever be associated with an organization dedicated to 'duty, honor, country.' "
Prescott Bush died in 1972 at age 77 after serving as a field artillery captain in the Army's American Expeditionary Services branch during World War I, a successful business career and representing Connecticut in the United States Senate from 1952 to 1963.
In more than 16,000 square feet, the Bethesda center will offer USO programming and the latest in technology and learning spaces, along with unique spots dedicated to relaxation, creativity and gaming.
For the fifth consecutive year, President Barack Obama and his family, with the help of the USO, welcomed military families to the South Lawn of the White House to celebrate the Fourth of July in grand style.
Even on a hot, sticky afternoon, it was tough to beat the atmosphere in the president's backyard, made even better by a view of the Washington Monument, which would be backdropped by bright fireworks later in the evening.
Obama made brief statements (careful not to get between hungry troops and the chow) to kick off the event, thanking our nation's servicemen and women for the job they do and the dedication of military families.
"Every day, men and women like them – and like all of you – are carrying forward the ideals that inspired that 'American Dream' 237 years ago," he said. "Defending our nation and our freedoms with strength and with sacrifice is your daily charge. And it's the charge of all of us – the charge of all who serve worldwide, including our troops that are still in harm's way and their families back home. They serve, too. And so we think of them, we pray for them."
As evening settled in, the band "fun." performed as prelude to the main event: a Washington sky filled with some of the country's finest fireworks, backed by some of the nation's proudest anthems.
We would love to hear from you.

CASTLE DALE - Judith (Judi) Smith Baker, 64, passed away March 17, 2010 at Utah Valley Hospital in Provo following a brave battle with leukemia. She was born Feb. 8, 1946 in Salt Lake City. She married George Floyd Baker on Sept. 28, 1965 in Price and was later sealed to her family in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple.
Judi's life and ambitions were centered around her children. She often commented that her greatest goal and desire in life was to be a mother. It was a role she was passionate about and deeply devoted to. Her love for her children and grandchildren was powerful and unending. She also had a great love of her many nieces and nephews.
Among her many talents, was her gift for loving and caring for children. She loved operating her own day care for many years, caring for a multitude of the children in her community. She worked for 16 years at Emery County Care and Rehabilitation Center where she diligently served and loved the residents and staff. She held many callings in the LDS Church throughout her life and had a strong testimony of Jesus Christ.
Judi loved a good mystery novel, cooking large amounts of delicious food, and rocking out to very loud rock-n-roll music. She enjoyed shopping, crocheting and gems. Among her greatest joys were sitting in her rocking chair in her front yard, visiting with neighbors and watching the neighborhood children play. Above all else, Jude loved Christmas and a good piece of chocolate.
Judi's generosity knew no bounds. If she had a dollar, it was yours. Her thoughts and actions were always centered around others, especially her children and grandchildren. She had a great sense of humor, a hearty laugh, a quick smile, and kind word for everyone she met.
Judi is survived by her children; Ryan (Layna) Baker, Price, Tiffani Baker, Orangeville, Matthew Baker, Salt Lake City, and Kelly (Tatum) Baker, Spanish Fork; and her grandchildren Sarah Jane and Coleton Lee, Price and Paiton McCall and her soon-to-be little brother, Spanish Fork. Also survived by her mother; Sarah Jane Smith, Carbonville; brothers, Greg Smith, Veil, Colo., Roger (Karen) Smith, Castle Dale; sister, Colleen Hatch, American Falls, Idaho; sister-in-law, Bonnie Smith, Orem; and mother-in-law, Bess Baker, Richfield. Preceded in death by her husband; George Floyd Baker; father, Forrest Smith; brothers, Grant Smith and Leon Smith; sisters Sharon Smith and Evona Smith; and father-in-law, Floyd Baker.
Services were held Monday, March 22, at 11 a.m. in the Orangeville Third Ward Chapel in Castle Dale. The family would like to thank the Orangeville Third Ward Relief Society for their compassionate service. Interment took place in the Orangeville City Cemetery.
The family would also like to extend special thanks to the Utah Valley Hospital staff for the patience and tender care which they gave to Judi and to all of the family and friends who extended their love and support in her time of need.
Funeral services entrusted to the care of Heritage Funeral Home, Huntington.

Solar energy already makes economic sense and its applications can be increased immediately.
Solar energy may appear to have the potential to be economical but there are hidden costs.
The argument for:
Generating your own electricity is akin to 'home brewing' beer. I live in Cornwall where my grid supply comes either from Hinkley Point (85 miles) or from Didcot, which is 205 miles away. A kWh generated at Didcot costs about 5p. But by the time it has passed through the National Grid, to Western Power Distribution, to one of the 'Big Six' supply companies and to my house, the daytime cost has risen to about 20p. To pay this, as a 20 per cent taxpayer, I would need to earn 25p.
Instead, I have installed 4kW of solar PV ground-mounted in my garden (it will make an excellent garden shed) that today would cost £5,000. Adding £1,000 for the replacement of the inverter at some stage should give me 4,000kWh per year for 30 years (I recently saw solar PV panels that were 34 years old and generating 90 per cent of their original output). Amortising the cost by dividing it by the lifetime output gives the home brew cost of my electricity as 5p/kWh, a saving of 20p/kWh. And this is without any subsidy.
Home brew DC could become the norm with the grid providing back up and power for heavier appliances.
The argument against:
Even if solar cells were massively more efficient and less expensive, they would only serve to expand energy supplies and accelerate overall demand. Solar cells shine brightly within the idealism of textbooks, but experience reveals a scattered collection of side effects and limitations.
The real clean energy is less energy. If we wish to leave a smaller footprint on the Earth and back away from resource scarcity we should develop strategies to use far less energy overall, not subsidize more energy production.
Any number of conservation strategies offer far higher dividends than solar cell investments. We could question growth in energy production, economy, and population. All of these initiatives are left under-represented as we unwittingly rush to celebrate energy firms who are building the next round of ecological disaster machines.
13 February 2013 03:31 PM
Langage Power Station in Devon at 895MW would surely be a more local source of energy for Mr Williams to mention in his opening sentence.
13 February 2013 08:08 PM
So we have a choice between two extreme green viewpoints: one a pro-solar CEO of a solar company, the other an anti-solar green who advocates energy rationing and state-enforced population control.
Where's the button to vote for ' none of the above '?
I would also like to check the brigadier's figures which purport to show his solar panels are cost effective without subsidies. When I performed the same calculations myself I found the complete opposite - that they would never pay for themselves without the massive 470% subsidy then being offered by the loonies at DECC.
13 February 2013 10:02 PM
You're probably sitting on it.
13 February 2013 10:08 PM
The estimate of 4 kWh per year from 4 kW peak installed is optimistic. For instance, my 3.5kW peak array generated 2719 kWh last year, January 1 to December 31st. Although you may have seen an array 34 years old @ 90% efficiency, the manufacturers of my panels (and all others that I have seen) quote an average of 25 years at 90%.
Thus, allowing for the same percentage generation, the a lifetime of 25 years and a reduction in efficiency over the lifetime, a more realistic "home brew cost" for a 4 kW array would be around 8p per kWh. Still substantially lower, but you have to remember you get nothing at night.
14 February 2013 11:30 PM
What part of cloud cookoo land does Gage Williams live in, peak generation will occur in mid summer but peak consumption will occur in mid winter - so that roughly half of the localy generated electricity will be sold to the suppliers at a pitance to be purchased later at the going high rate. Like Gage I am retired and at the age of 80 I am interested in what happens today not what happens over a 30 year time span. Most people live in urban areas so do not have the oportunity to install PV Panels, even if they could domestic consumption only accounts for 30% of the UK total. Finaly a Solar Park generates about the same as a modern single wind turbine. roughly 0.001% of the Uk total demand.

Unfortunately the nature of these debates ensures that those putting the arguments exaggerate the claims.
Let me declare an interest, I am a great fan of solar energy but it is clear to me that Gage Williams exaggerates the claims for pv solar. The cost is actually higher, the lifetime probably lower. Using dc direct is not a solution, the output from the cells needs regulating and efficient regulators are almost as complex as inverters. Electric tractors might be an attractive notion, but are really not going to make any noticeable difference to pollution.
None of the currently practical renewable sources provide continuous power. My solar array produces one seventh the power in winter as summer, practically nothing on a very cloudy day. Britain is not geographically a good place for solar, it is too far north. Storage schemes such as that described by Gage Williams are needed to even out fluctuations from all the renewable sources but the cost and maintenance of such schemes should not be underestimated.
Ozzie Zehner overemphasizes the drawbacks. His major argument is that solar cells are not zero carbon technology and require energy and pollution to be manufactured. All renewable energy sources need energy to produce them, and pollute in the process. He is not even right to say that the real clean energy is less energy; the only clean energy is no energy. But the less energy message is vital.
As with the majority of these debates, both are right. We must reduce energy requirements by improving efficiency, but we need energy, and solar has and will continue to have an important role in the energy mix. Its nature needs large area so "home brew" is a good way to implement it.
Note, pv is not the only solar technology. Spain has a near-1GW concentrating solar plant which produces steam using mirrors; and it is possible to store steam. But they have the location and the sunshine!

As Ipayyoursalary says neither answer is complete.
The economic argument for misses out an important point.
The additional 20p per unit is effectively your guarantee of supply 24hrs a day 7 days a week. The power can come from Hinkley Point, Didcot, Fawley or France but you get it whether the sun shines or not.
If you start trying to compare like with like and decide you would like to have some lights, maybe television or music, perhaps go down to your shed and use your lathe when it is dark then the PV system costs will increase rapidly. Depending on the system configuration you will need storage batteries (limited life if regularly deeply cycled), a second inverter or a second DC wiring system and some sort of grid link or standby generator for when the batteries run down.
If you take the other view point that you will use your own PV electricity when it is cheaper and the grid the rest of the time you have the same problem as with intermittent wind power. There will have to be a significant increase in the amount of fast response, and hence expensive, sources connected to the grid, spinning reserves, pumped storage, gas turbine etc which will increase the costs for everyone and lower the system efficiency. Intermittent grid connected generation is effectively a parasite.
The against argument doesn't really offer anything concrete. We all know that as long as the population keeps increasing energy consumption will increase even if consumption per capita falls. PV does have place as part of a power supply for remote off grid systems. A remote telephone or data collection system powered by a combination of wind, PV and storage battery makes sense, multi MW PV probably doesn't make sense.
Best regards
18 March 2013 09:56 PM
I am surprised to see that 70% voted for Gage Williams motion and wonder whether all those who voted actually read his arguments. That PV panels provide shelter for sheep is indeed a point which I haven't considered. It does however seem a rather expensive option and there is not much room for animals to graze in the fields which have been plastered full of PV panels in this area (southern Germany). I presume the farmers who have changed from food production to electricity generation have done so because of the excellent return on investment provided by the generous subsidies guaranteed by the German government, and paid for by private electricity customers who are unable to benefit from this scheme.
There is a need for a serious technical discussion, backed up by realistic figures to support the arguments.

For Utahns residing at locations throughout the state, 2005 represented a deadly year for incidents involving domestic violence.
According to a report compiled by the Utah Department of Health, 21 men and women died at the hands of intimate partners, friends or family members.
In addition, 44 men and women committed suicide in the wake of a domestic violence incident.
"In 2005, the Utah Department of Health began looking at domestic violence cases in a different light," explained Teresa Brechlin, intentional injury prevention program coordinator for the UDOH.
"We began collecting data under the new national violent death reporting system and uncovered this epidemic of DV-related suicide," continued the state health department's violence and injury prevention program coordinator.
A suicide is considered domestic violence related if one of the circumstances surrounding the death involved violence or the threat of violence between intimate partners, family members or roommates, according to the state health agency.
Of the 44 Utahns who reportedly committed suicide in connection with alleged domestic violence incidents, 42 or 95 percent of the subjects were males and two were females.
In addition, 41 percent of the suicide victims were known substance abusers, 29 percent had a recent criminal legal problem and 24 percent had mental health problems.
Sixty-four percent of suicides were committed by firearms, 29 percent involved hangings and 7 percent were poisonings.
Of the 21 domestic violence homicide victims, 10 were male and 11 were female.
Homicide rates were highest among the 18 to 34 age group. The homicide rates were also significantly higher among Utahns of Hispanic/Latino descent for the domestic violence victims and suspected perpetrators.
All of the domestic violence homicide suspects were male and more than one-half or 52 percent of the alleged perpetrators used a firearm in the killings.
Twenty percent of the domestic violence homicide suspects used a sharp object, 12 percent used personal weapons like hands or fists and 8 percent used a blunt object.
In three of the domestic violence homicide incidents, multiple weapons were used by the suspects.
Regarding the relationship of the suspect to the victim, many Utahns continue to believe domestic violence always involves intimate partners, pointed out the state health department's violence and injury prevention program coordinator.
But in 2005, only 42 percent of domestic violence homicide suspects were intimately involved with the victims, indicated the statewide report issued by the health department.
Another 33 percent of the homicide suspects were other family members and 25 percent were acquaintances of the victims like friends or roommates.
The circumstances surrounding the domestic violence homicide occurrences were varied, continued the state health department's violence and injury prevention program coordinator..
The circumstances included lovers' triangles, arguments over money or property, mercy killing and mental illness.
In some instances, the victims of domestic violence homicides were purportedly killed while trying to intervene on behalf of another person.
"The report shows us that domestic violence is far-reaching and affects more Utahns than the public realizes," said Brechlin. "All those who die in domestic violence incidents, whether by their own hand or someone else, leave behind family and friends who have to cope with the devastation," she added.
The full domestic violence homicide and suicide report is available online to Carbon County residents with Internet access.

Less noise, more harmonics, more sustain.
The Lace Red-Blue Dually Humbucker Pickup is made from combining the Sensor Red and Sensor Blue single coil electric guitar pickups.
Lace has built the patented Sensor pickups since 1985. Used exclusively by Fender until 1996, these Sensor pickups have the same specifications with the same great tone.
Blue and Red Lace Sensor guitar pickups are designed to duplicate an early Fender single coil pickup. Delivering crisp top end and bell-like tone, the Lace Sensor single coil pickup uses the latest technology to provide excellent tone for today's electric guitar players.
Lace Sensor pickups have a unique radiant Field Barrier system that surrounds both the coil and magnets, reducing annoying 60-cycle hum. The patented Lace Micro Combs replace traditional bobbins, yielding a wider tonal range and better string balance than traditional pickups.
Unlike ordinary pickups, it generates 36 separate magnetic "sensing" fields that, in the areas where they contact the string, "read" the strings' vibration. (Regular guitar pickups only generate anywhere from 4 to 12 fields).
The Lace Sensor guitar pickup also has Radiant Field Barriers: metal slides that frame the inner core of the Sensors and perform two functions. The first is to shield the Sensor from the outside noise and 60-cycle hum. The second is to produce broader, yet more concentrated, umbrellas of sensing field than standard magnetic pickups.
Less Noise, More Harmonics
As compared to standard pickups, the Lace pickup reads a greater physical area of the string, while picking up less outside interference. This makes the signal-to-noise ratio nothing short of phenomenal for a single coil system. Also, a wider range of harmonic content is read by the Sensor, delivering a more complex tonal response.
Increased Sustain, Truer Pitch
Since it operates so efficiently, Lace Sensors can use much lower energy magnets than ordinary pickups, and this in turn brings about a whole new realm of properties. In regular pickups, the magnetic fields are so strong they physically dampen, or drag on, the strings' vibration, reducing sustain and actually changing the pitch. But in the Lace Sensor, string dampening is virtually nonexistent. This means your sustain is increased dramatically while the string holds its true pitch for the duration of the note.
Lace includes a three-inch mini data CD that includes all its latest wiring diagrams in color along with Lace's most current pickup and guitar catalogs. Also includes a warranty card and other useful information regarding Lace Music Products.

Comments about Lace Sensor Red-Blue Dually Humbucker Pickup:
I have this installed in a fender squier bullet H2 japan. It has a three position switch with factory coil tap for each hum bucker. I use the red blue in the neck pickup. Great sound! Smooth when I want it to be while nice and hot in hum bucker without the bite. I was not sure how these were going to be, but I am very satisfied. I have lace sensors in another strat that are single coil. I would not hesitate to use these for rock,blues, or jazz.
Comments about Lace Sensor Red-Blue Dually Humbucker Pickup:
I used this PUP for the bridge humbucker in my 98 Fender Cyclone. Obviously goes great with the blue in the neck. This is NOT a humbucker. If you're looking to get a crushing hard rock sound skip this all together. What you do get it very responsive and clear. This PUP nails the John Frusciante sound. Great PUP clean or distorted.
Comments about Lace Sensor Red-Blue Dually Humbucker Pickup:
Like all of my other Lace Sensors (single coil) these duallys are perfect for any guitarist looking for multiple sounds from the Les paul or any other dual humbucker configuration. A pair of Duallys gives you 4 powerful single coil pickup in a 2 + 2 set up allowing both single coil tones and thicker humbucker tone plus literally dozens of wiring configurations. The price is also reasonable. Talldogs gave these excellnt dual coil Lace pickup poor rating because they don't come with hardware. HUH???How does no mounting springs and screws make these bad pickups? Mounting hardware has NOTHING to do with the quality of sound, quality of build, feature and in reality overall quality. I would recommend these to any guitarist looking to have a much more versatile array of tonal choices from their guitar. They are completely silent even at maxed out volume levels. The only "noise" I ever hear with these pickups is from my amp and not the pickups which isn't the case with most traditionally designed humbuckers.
Comments about Lace Sensor Red-Blue Dually Humbucker Pickup:
I have alway like Lace pickups in the Strat plus guitars. So I decided to try the duallys. I haven't played them you but I'm already disappointed. For the price you pay for these pickups you would expect proper mounting hardware. Not here. All you get is a pair of screws that are too long to fit in a strat body...no spring...no tubing. Got with Seymour Duncan or one of the many other quality pickups that include the necessary mounting hardware.

Choosing the Best Facial Primer For Your Skin Type
Some cosmetic junkies wouldn't consider makeup application without proper prepping and priming first. Facial Primer for me hasn't always been an essential part of my regime however it is an important makeup application step since it can prolong the freshness of your foundation, fill in fine lines and pores, and just allow your overall makeup to last longer as it creates a solid base between your foundation and your face.
Choosing the best facial primer for your skin type can be a little confusing so it's best to understand your skin type prior to choosing the proper primer for it.
Jump ahead for a brief guide to facial primers.

Great product, bad scent Love love love this product for my curly frizzy-tendency hair. It makes my hair so soft and shiney, never stiff or sticky. There is nothing else like it anywhere. There's only one thing that keeps this from being perfect: the smell. I've had several tubes "go bad" on me, they start to smell rancid. Maybe it's the olive oil, I don't know. I wish it could be fixed, maybe with a preservative, bc I love this product. January 15, 2015
great product I really loved the scent. So fresh and clean. I had never used a cream before so I was worried that it would weigh my hair down. It did not! It worked great. I usually wash my hair at night to avoid having to use a hair dryer because of the amount of time it takes. When I used this my hair took literally 5 minutes to dry with the hair dryer. It looked and felt sleek and smooth. I love this stuff! November 28, 2014
Best product from the glossing line After being disappointed by the glossing shampoo and conditioner, I didn't have high hopes for this product. However, I was pleasantly surprised! I used a dab and ran in through my partially dried curls and it gave them a nice shiny luster and provided just a wee bit of control. The scent stayed in my hair for several hours, which I really liked. Be careful when using this though as it's easy to use too much and end up with your locks looking greasy! November 28, 2014
Great curl creme I really like this product. It wasn't my first time using it--I had previously received a sample. My hair is naturally very dry and curly and this gives me shine and frizz control as well as better-defined curls, so that's definitely a win. I've found very few products that can do that.I did a video review on YouTube (http://youtu.be/yVHnWuxhDvY) . November 28, 2014
Luxurious feel and softer hair This creme has a super luxurious feel to it and smells amazing. It doesn't have great holding power for my unruly curls so I mix it in with my regular control product and it adds shine and a great perfume to my hair. It works its magic a little better if applied on damp hair I find. November 24, 2014
Love this glossing cream I have long and curly thick hair which typically needs quite a bit of product to take away the frizz. I was very pleased with this glossing cream, it's very light, not too oily or shiny, and a little goes a long way. I use about a pea size amount and it adds natural shine and helps tame my frizz. I was previously using Moroccan Oil styling cream and I like this Fekkai product better for my hair. The smell is also very pleasant and not too much. November 23, 2014
This Product Is.... I have tried this product several times in different conditions to see what kind of results I could get. I have fine, blond highlighted hair that is shoulder length. When applied to wet, freshly washed hair and with less than a dimed size amount of product, I didn't notice much of a difference. The next time, I added just a tad more product and noticed that my roots seemed greasy (which is common for my fine hair). Next, I decided to try it on freshly washed and dried hair and only from about midway down to the roots. I was expecting some shine or gloss, but my hair still looked dry and dull. Maybe my expectations are just too high. I would not purchase this product. I received it complimentary for testing purposes. There's nothing wrong with the product per say, it just doesn't work on my hair type the way I thought it would. November 21, 2014
This product really smooths my hair! I have naturally curly hair that I blow dry most mornings and I put this product on my hair after I dried it and it really smoothed out the frizz and fluff. It isn't sticky, but glides on smooth and my hair stayed smooth throughout the stay. The fragrance isn't too bad either, it smelled pretty refreshing once on my hair. I used this product with the shampoo and conditioner and was really pleased with the results! November 16, 2014
Really Good I used the glossing cream after I showered on towel dried hair. I used about a quarter size amount for my long hair. I really loved the added shine it gave my hair. My curls looked more defined and smooth with little frizz. Definitely going to repurchase! November 16, 2014
Great for the after salon look I received the Fekkai Glossing set as samples from Influenster. Unfortunately, since I have very long and thick hair, the shampoo and conditioner only lasted for one use so I really couldn't review them accurately. However, if they work anything like the gloss creme, they are wonderful. I had just gotten a Brazilian Blowout done and still couldn't get my hair to look as smooth and healthy as it did after I left the salon. I used the Gloss Creme to style my hair while straightening and it looked like I had just left the salon. I got so many compliments! This is a product I will continue to use for the glossy healthy look to complete my style. November 15, 2014

Methods used to calculate your heart attack risk are not perfect. But they give you and your doctor a good idea about your risk. This tool is based on
information from the Framingham Heart Study. Since 1948 the Framingham Heart
Study has studied the progression of heart disease and its risk factors.
Your score will appear
in values from 1% to 99%. If your score is 5%, it means that 5 out of 100
people with this level of risk will have a heart attack in the next 10 years.
If your score is 10%, it means that 10 out of 100 people with this level of
risk will have a heart attack in the next 10 years.
Knowing your risk is just the starting point for you and your doctor. Knowing your risk can help you and your doctor talk about whether you need to lower your risk. Together, you can decide what treatment is best for you.
Your treatment choices may include:
Talk with your doctor about your risk. Ask your doctor how you can lower your risk. Together, you can decide what is right for you.

Retrieve a service instance object
You can retrieve a service instance object for a component that cannot be configured for high availability. Components that can be configured for high availability have a core service instance and a host service instance. The following code sample retrieves an AttachmentConnector service instance object.
Before you begin: Retrieve the serviceID integer for the service that you want to find the instance of.
Create the AttachmentConnectorServiceInstance
object to store the service instance.
AttachmentConnectorServiceInstance serviceInstance;
Invoke findServiceInstancesByService().
boolean includeStatus=false; boolean includeExtendedData=true; boolean loadServiceConsumerRelationships=false; boolean loadServiceProducerRelationships=false; FindServiceInstancesByServiceResult result=coreWebService.findServiceInstancesByService(serviceID, locale, includeStatus, includeExtendedData, loadServiceConsumerRelationships, loadServiceProducerRelationships);
Check the result for errors and handle any errors.
if (result.getFindServiceInstancesByServiceReturnStatus().getCode()!= FindServiceInstancesByServiceReturnStatusEnumType.SUCCESS) { // handle any errors }
- Loop through the result and since there is only one AttachmentConnector service instance,
store the object for the first one that is found.
List<ServiceInstanceType> serviceInstances = result.getServiceInstances(); for (ServiceInstanceType itr:serviceInstances) { if (itr2 instanceof AttachmentConnectorServiceInstance) { serviceInstance = itr2; break; } }

On March 28, Montana Governor Steve Bullock (shown) vetoed a nullification bill protecting the Second Amendment rights of Montanans from infringement by the federal government.
As The New American reported at the time of its passage by the state legislature, the measure, House Bill 302, read in relevant part:
A peace officer, state employee, or employee of any political subdivision is prohibited from enforcing, assisting in the enforcement of, or otherwise cooperating in the enforcement of a federal ban on semiautomatic weapons or large magazines and is also prohibited from participating in any federal enforcement action implementing a federal ban on semiautomatic weapons or large magazines.
Another provision mandates that state officials may not use "public funds or allocate public resources for the enforcement of a federal ban on semiautomatic weapons or large magazines."
Violation of this section of the bill would constitute misdemeanor theft.
Ironically, with his veto, Governor Bullock has committed theft of a more serious nature.
A story on Bullock's rejection of the bill published by U.S. News proclaims the decision to be a move toward "modernity."
They have a point, though likely not the one they intended to make.
Bullock's ignorance of the role of the right to keep and bear arms, as well as the role of the states in checking federal overreaches of its constitutional powers, is typical of many modern lawmakers and executives.
For example, consider this excerpt from the veto message attached by Bullock to the bill when he sent it back to the state House of Representatives:

Gov. Rick Scott with the Verizon crew announced that 750 jobs will be brought to the Lake Mary area with the new Verizon building being built.
The building, which was announced at the International Parkway Building Wednesday morning, will be built in Heathrow, but no construction dates have been released. Permits have been pulled, according to Lake Mary officials.
"We want more people to move to our state, we want more tourists to come, more exports, but today is a great day, 750 jobs in Florida," said Scott.
The 200,000 square-foot building will house finance services, which will take care of things like payroll and accounting.
Officials said the Lake Mary area was chosen as the location out of 3,000 potential cities by weighing the quality of life, talent pool and cost of living.
Workers who relocate to Lake Mary for the positions will get in-state tuition for University of Central Florida, Valencia College and Seminole State College, according to Scott.
The building should be up by 2014, but people are already beginning to make the transfer. No word on how soon the positions will be open to the public, nor the starting salary.
