Tamriel Rebuilt is a community mod project which aims to recreate portions of The Elder Scrolls universe. We are currently developing the province of Hammerfell as a modification for TES IV: Oblivion. Using our own stylistic interpretations along with established TES lore, we intend to flesh out this province and create an engaging gameplay experience. We are approaching this enormous task on a region by region basis, selecting small portions, developing them fully and moving on. This will not only enable us to explore all areas of TES IV modding, but will allow us to take advantage of the broad range of talent available in our community. We have a number of organized departments working on the various aspects of our mod. These include, but are certainly not limited to: Concept Art, Objects of Tamriel (custom assets), Literature, Sound and Music, Exteriors, Interiors, and Quests.
Our first task on the Oblivion engine involves creating the Isle of Stirk. It is a small island located east of Cyrodiil. Its precise location can be seen on the 'West Tamriel Map' that was released shortly before TESA: Redguard. There is almost no existing Elder Scrolls lore concerning Stirk, so we are developing a unique story line consistent with what is known about the Abecean Sea and its relation to both Cyrodiil and Hammerfell.
If you would like join us in modding Hammerfell and the Isle of Stirk, or if you would simply like to know more, visit our forums at www.tamriel-rebuilt.org, or log onto our IRC channel. We'll see you there!
Hey guys. First of all, let me assure you that this mod really is alive. It keeps me quite busy, hence I am not able to update this page very often. The best place to get updates remains our official website, including forums and blog.
Anyways, lets get right down to it. The Hammerfell-Cyrodiil border is nearing completion. All locales have been finalized and now all that remains is testing and fixing quests and adding some of Hammerfell in the background. As you may know Hammerfell uses its own world space so the border will feature 2 forts and a cave to cross into the new world.
Goldmoor has also been going well. Most of the region is completely done, and the rest is progressing well. Currently I am doing review and final fixes on claims 8-1 through 8-5, this includes merging the claims into the main file and synchronizing the look of the region. These claims include many of Goldmoor's unique areas, including an ancient imperial fort overlooking the province; the town of Stonemoor, situated high on a platough; and of course the city of Rihad. Check out the video below for a quick look at what the area has to offer.
Hm, what else? Many new models have been made for Hammerfell, including a whole new dock set and a great set of market tents and stalls. Helkori objects have also been completed, and we have begun work on the generation preset.
I guess this is it for now :) If you like what you see you should register on our forums, it is the only source for real news and progress. We are also still in need of members, and as always everyone is welcome!
Yep, this mod is indeed still alive and kicking. After neglecting ModDB for a long time i come to you with news, screenshots, and videos of the province...
The Isle of Stirk is getting closer and closer! Only the main questline requires completing, the rest are finished and tested! Expect a final release...

This is extremely professional looking work. D/ling the public beta right now...I have a feeling this is gonna be pretty damn cool hehe.
sweet, some realy good pictures
I like the consept art of the "City of Rihad"
it realy looks like one of the original artwork from the morrowind consept art.
This is buy far, the best landscape i have seen in a loong time. But can i comment on one thing. The thing that (the ONLY thing:)) din't like about Oblivion, was the landscaping. Nothing was truly epic. No huge cliffs buy the sea, no great gorge and no huge caste floating in mid air (Morrowind :P) Make me go WHOA!! When i see somthing, make landmarks, cause if you make the player go WHOA because of the lanscape. He will remember the mod.
This mod looks cool! just make sure the expanded areas have fast load times and good graphics!
Great idea, i'd love an expanded game world!
..time to update site and add me to the team.
This will be great, It kind of sucks that the Tamriel Rebuilt for Elder of Scrolls 3 is obsolete. :(
Good Luck, lets get this one done before the next Elder of Scrolls!
There is a beta out for MW and one for OB. make sure that you get the OB one
those 2 should be it.
Sounds good... Considering you dont need to re-invente the wheild to make a impresive mod. (AME & Northlands) This is a smart idea. cause you can launch things like in episodes. Instead of all at once, so that if you guys somtime give up. Thers allot of material that has been launched. I must say that i doubt AME and Northlands ever to be "compleatly" donne. Sounds good and i cant wait :)

The answer generally varies depending on the region. Some alternative energy sources are better suited for some regions over others. Solar power, wind energy, hydroelectric power, geothermal energy, wave and tidal power, and biofuels are sustainable and renewable energy sources, but their availability varies across regions.
Biofuels are perhaps one of the most efficient and unlimited sources of alternative energy. Biofuels were originally created using food sources, such as soybeans and corn, but technology has advanced to a point where food crops are not needed at all. Instead, algae and fungi have been proven to be very promising sources of alternative energy. Algae can grow very quickly and some species have high oil content, making them ideal sources of biodiesel.
Other experts say that using waste as a source of energy may be the most effective. Waste is effective at generating energy and is very abundant. Using waste for energy would eliminate much of the garbage that pollutes the earth. Though no single solution may be effective for every part of the world, technology is certainly developing new and innovative solutions to supply alternative energy for every region.

Liquor Ace ("lick her ass") is an alcohol distribution establishment seen in the first trailer of Grand Theft Auto V. Further information about it is unknown at this point. The name sounds like "lick her ass" when read quickly. The environment around the building seems to be an outreach of sand, with a mountain in the distance, hinting it might be close by a desert.
- The store has discounted beers and lottery tickets.
- There is an ad for Cerveza Barracho Beer on the front of the building.
- It looks like you can pick hookers up there out-front.

Last week we asked for your support to attend the town hall summit on the effects of Kansas budget cuts hosted by Big Tent Coalition and Kansans for Quality Communities. Over 80 people turned out to tell dramatic stories about the effects of crumbling social services and public education. The Wichita Eagle has great coverage:
"What's happened in Topeka over the last few years has not been good for Kansas,†said the event's moderator, Mark Desetti, a lobbyist for the Kansas National Education Association. "Too many people are suffering … in the current climate of 'no government is good government.'â€
Desetti claimed that 65 disabled or elderly Kansans died in the past year while on waiting lists for government services for which they were eligible.
He said that is unacceptable given that the state has granted $10 billion in tax cuts over the past decade.
Several lawmakers were there to echo the public's concerns:
Rep. Nile Dillmore, D-Wichita, accused Brownback of governing through "little secret groups,†mostly from out of state, to develop the tax and social service policies he's expected to push when the Legislature convenes in January. "That's the people that Brownback and his administration are listening to,†Dillmore said. "They're not listening to me and they're not listening to you.â€
Dillmore said he doesn't think the governor's priorities represent Kansas values.
"I've lived in this state all my life and I know these people and I know that they don't look around and say, 'You know, I'm really worried mostly about my pocketbook' when people are dying,†Dillmore said. "They look around and they try to find ways to help.â€

This has to be the most stunning piece of artwork my little eyes have ever looked at.
This masterpiece makes me feel I am not worthy to look at it, the sincere meaning of it just made me burst into tears. Who new that one individual could make such a stunningly detailed piece of artwork.
And I thought that this was a photograph the first time I looked. It was only by the comments left that I knew it was actually art.
This inspires me to the ends of the earth. His derping eyes, his disconjoining legs and arms, his massive feet... Everything.
This stunning piece looks like it has been touched by the Gods of Art. It's just so unbelievable that a mere person has managed to make something this stunning.
Could you teach someone like I to make this kind of artwork? I beg you...
I... I am sorry. My eyes are just unable to handle the complete fabulosity of this piece.
Excuse me as I burst into happy tears.

30 wks preg w/ twin girls and went in preterm labor at 25 wks
I am 30 weeks pregnant with twin girls and i went into preterm labor at 25 weeks but the reason i went in labor so early was they found out i had gallstones and they were making me sick. Im still working, i dont have a desk job i work at a restaurant as a server so im on my feet all the time, the doctor has not put me on bedrest yet but has said he will be happy if i can make it 4 more weeks, do u think he will ever put me on bedrest? I also have an 11month old son so i dont know how much time i would be spending in bed!

I am also pregnant with twins and I have a 11 month old at home. I am on bedrest. At week 25 I was put on hospital bedrest for two weeks due to I dialted (never even noticed) to a 3 and my cervix was down to 1.2 cm. I am 32 wks today and if I would have not been on bedrest those twins would have been born way to premature. I went into labor at week 26 and was on magnesium for 24 hours which stopped my contractions. For the health of your babys it would probably be better not to be on your feet too much. Babies do have a good survival chance starting week 29 but there are still too many risks. Better safe than sorry.posted 08/04/2010 by aemjwhk
I'm surprised your not on bedrest. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a doctor by any means. But, I have gone into preterm labor with both my boys. My first was at 32 weeks and my second was at 36 weeks. Thankfully, they both are completely healthy though. Bedrest is not the most fun and you'd really need help from family and friends with your 11 month old. We depended heavily on these wonderful people in our lives to help us through 2 months of bedrest. I will say it's all worth it though!posted 03/01/2008 by smiths090702

text: I am writing to reassure people that everything is going to be all right. I am a teacher in Roseville, so I get to work with the future everyday. And that's why I know that everything will be all right. Because every single day I see kids who can communicate and collaborate effectively, face and solve problems confidently, think critically, speak articulately, read thoroughly and write thoughtfully. Right now, there are kids who are working on ways to change the world. And they are teaching me. There are kids organizing donation efforts, planning for careers that help, recycling, conserving, contributing, paying it forward and just simply putting others before themselves. Those kids are in my classroom, and my classroom is typical of a plethora of classrooms – locally and globally. I am lucky. Because right now, other people are stressed: the economy, the violence, the war, the holidays, the headlines. But, I know everything is going to be fine. I can see the future in my students. So, I guess I'm writing for two reasons. First, to really ease your mind. Things will get better and things will one day be really, really good. Second, and more importantly, to thank my students – past and present – for teaching me daily, for giving me faith in the future and for proving that we can change the world. Dana Duncan, Roseville

Republican Attorney General Pam Bondi got a Democratic opponent Monday, Democrat George Sheldon.
George Sheldon, who recently stepped down as an assistant secretary in the Obama administrations' Health and Human Services Dept., said he plans to return "character" to the Attorney General's office.
Sheldon says Bondi has been fighting the wrong fights for the wrong reasons. "I see an unwillingness to even reach out a hand to the federal government, an unwillingness to expand Medicaid to folks who are trying to work their way into the middle class, a demagoguery about the affordable care act."
In addition to serving in Washington under President Obama, The Democratic contender has run Florida's Department of Children and Families, served as an Assistant Attorney General, and been elected to the State House from Tampa.

The [U.S.] administration also hailed some success in the war on drugs in America. Cocaine prices were said to have doubled, after a crack-down on smuggling.So, "success" results in higher profit margins for drug smugglers. Higher profit margins result in incentive to enter the business.

Looking for another way to get into the wallet of their customers, some sports franchises have implemented this additional charge to the price of admission. Fans not only have to pay for the tickets, but they get another bill simply for having the right to purchase the ducats.
It's called the "free market", Red.
Ain't no one forced to buy a PSL. Compare the PSL to the common practice of raising taxes to build a stadium. When that happens, we are all forced to chip in so billionaires can have a building.
I know a bad idea when I hear one. The PSL ain't it.
The Bandwagon
Cowherd reasons that since Coors Field was not sold out in July, Rockies' fans are not any good.
What a complete non sequitur.
In July, the Rockies were below .500. Why should their games be sold out? They should not be.
The only reason to go to a Rockies game in July was to enjoy the Rocky Mountain air and enjoy a cold beer.
If a below average major league team team sells out games, why is that a good commentary on the fans?
They are paying to see a loser.
Bad television shows get canceled. Bad stage shows close. Bad bands don't sell music.
Are you not a true television fan if you choose not to watch "The Surreal Life" on VH1? Are you not a true Broadway fan if you choose not to attend "Taboo?" Are you not a true music fan if you don't buy William Hung's album?
But somehow bad baseball teams are supposed to sell out?
That is ridiculous.
The Rockies started playing great. They started winning. Fans started buying tickets. Coors Field sold out.
You want to criticize fans, criticize them when they do not sell out playoff games. Pittsburgh did not sell out when the Pirates had Barry Bonds and played the Braves where in the playoffs. The Arizona Diamondbacks did not sell out their playoff games against the Rockies this year.
Criticize that.

All the Backbone of a Mollusk
Two months after insisting that they would roll back broad eavesdropping powers won by the Bush administration, Democrats in Congress appear ready to make concessions that could extend some crucial powers given to the National Security Agency.The perception that the Democrats are protecting our liberties is incorrect. It is akin to the perception that the Republicans are protecting our pocketbooks.
. . .
Although willing to oppose the White House on the Iraq war, they remain nervous that they will be called soft on terrorism if they insist on strict curbs on gathering intelligence.
. . .
Some Congressional officials and others monitoring the debate said the final result might not be much different from the result in August, despite the Democrats' insistence that they would not let stand the extension of the powers.
"Many members continue to fear that if they don't support whatever the president asks for, they'll be perceived as soft on terrorism," said William Banks, a professor who specializes in terrorism and national security . . ..
Take this test. Then join the Libertarian Party.
Stand up for your liberties. Stand up for your pocketbook.

Damn, I'm Old
Nevertheless, I am 41. And yes, I am a grandfather.
Damn. I'm old.
I did not really feel it until today.
Until today, I had been doing very well. I've been watching my carbs, exercising a little bit, and I lost just over 2o pounds. I felt good.
I even started officiating high school football games for a little more exercise. After my first game, my left knee swelled up like a pumpkin. Why did it do that?
About 10 years ago (or was it 15?), I sheared off the top of my left tibia playing beer league softball.
The orthopedic surgeon had to insert three pins to put it back together. At the time, back in the '90's (or was it the '80's?), he said I would have some arthritis in the knee because of the trauma.
He was correct.
I learned that after my first game as an official. I limped around like Grady from "Sanford & Son" for days.
So, for my next game, I bought a compression brace for the bad knee. You know , the one with the pins in it. And all the arthritis.
I figured the brace would help keep the swelling down. It did.
Several hours after the game, my left knee still felt great.
Unfortunately, my right knee, my good knee, the one without any pins or hardware of any kind, feels like crap.
Have you ever seen a piling on a pier on the Outerbanks of North Carolina? One with about 127 years of barnacles built up over rotted wood? I think those pilings eroded away about the time Blackbeard was lighting firecrackers in his beard. The only thing holding up all those fishermen and tourists walking the pier is dead barnacles upon dead barnacles, shaped like a piling.
Anyway, those pilings, the ones on the Outerbanks comprised of nothing but barnacles, don't have any place to bend. They are a lot like my right knee. My good one. The one without any hardware inserted into the bone. In my knee, where tendon and sinew used to exist, apparently I have barnacles.
That is what it feels like.
At least my bad knee, the left one, feels better.
Good thing I have not taken that brace off the left knee yet. The bad one.
I might have to turn it into a pegleg. And tie firecrackers into my beard.
Damn, I'm old.

The Bajoran death chant is a traditional funeral ritual practiced among some conservative Bajorans and is over two hours long. Ro Laren was one Bajoran who was disdainful of the chant. (TNG: "The Next Phase")
Some speculate that the Bajoran rituals seen in DS9: "Battle Lines" and "Shakaar" may be Bajoran death chants.
The ritual performed by Kira Nerys in "Battle Lines" was described as Bajoran death chant in the script of the episode. [1]

before the
COMMITTEE on ENERGY and NATURAL RESOURCES
May 25, 2000
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:
I appreciate the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss the potential for growth of natural gas consumption in the United States.
The Energy Information Administration (EIA) is an autonomous statistical and analytical agency within the Department of Energy. We are charged with providing objective, timely, and relevant data, analysis, and projections for the use of the Department of Energy, other government agencies, the U.S. Congress, and the public. We do not take positions on policy issues, but we do produce data and analysis reports that are meant to help policy makers decide energy policy. Because we have an element of statutory independence with respect to the analyses that we publish, our views are strictly those of EIA. We do not speak for the Department, nor for any particular point of view with respect to energy policy, and our views should not be construed as representing those of the Department or the Administration. However, EIA's baseline projections on energy trends are widely used by government agencies, the private sector, and academia for their own energy analyses. Each year EIA publishes the Annual Energy Outlook, which provides projections and analysis of domestic energy consumption, supply, prices, and carbon emissions. These projections are not meant to be exact predictions of the future but represent a likely future, assuming known trends in demographics and technology improvements and also assuming no change in current laws, regulations, and policies.
The projections in this testimony are from the Annual Energy Outlook 2000 (AEO2000), published by EIA in December 19991. These projections represent a likely energy future, given technological and demographic trends, current laws and regulations, and consumer behavior as derived from known data. EIA recognizes that projections of energy markets are highly uncertain, subject to many random events that cannot be foreseen, such as severe weather, political disruptions, strikes, and technological breakthroughs. In addition to these short-term phenomena, long-term trends in technology development, demographics, economic growth, and energy resources may evolve along a different path than assumed in the Reference Case. Many of these uncertainties are explored through alternative cases in AEO2000.
1Energy Information Administration, Annual Energy Outlook 2000, DOE/EIA-0383(2000)(Washington, DC, December 1999)
Total Natural Gas Demand
In the Reference Case of AEO2000, total natural gas consumption is projected to increase from 22.4 trillion cubic feet in 2000, as estimated at the time the projections were finalized, to 29.9 trillion cubic feet in 2015. This total includes approximately 2.0 to 2.5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas consumed in the processing and delivery of the gas, as lease and plant fuel and pipeline fuel, and a very small amount for natural gas vehicles, which totals about 0.3 trillion cubic feet in 2015. Most of the natural gas is consumed in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors and as fuel for electricity generation, which is the most rapidly growing use of natural gas in the projections (Figure 1).
Residential Natural Gas Consumption
Residential natural gas consumption established an all-time high in 1996, as heating degree-days weighted by the number of natural gas customers reached the highest level in more than 25 years. Since 1996, however, natural gas consumption in the sector has declined, as warmer-than-average winter temperatures decreased the need for space heating, the largest use for natural gas in the residential sector (Figure 2). Since space heating accounts for nearly 70 percent of natural gas consumption on an annual basis, it is not surprising that natural gas use in the residential sector has fluctuated from year to year over the past two decades. Water heating, cooking appliances, and clothes dryers account for more than 90 percent of natural gas use other than space heating.
Figure 3 details residential natural gas consumption by Census region. The Midwest and Northeast Census regions account for 61 percent of residential natural gas consumption nationwide. Colder winter temperatures and a higher concentration of homes heated with natural gas account for this result. In the AEO2000 Reference Case, residential natural gas consumption is projected to grow at 0.8 percent per year through 2015, a total of 0.6 trillion cubic feet, as improving equipment efficiency resulting from appliance turnover and growth in natural gas customers partially offset one another. Underlying Figure 3 is the notion that the U.S. population is migrating and will continue to migrate to warmer climates. The Northeast and Midwest, with relatively high natural gas intensities, have the least amount of housing construction projected for the next 15 years, relative to the South and West Census regions, further dampening the growth of natural gas in the sector.
Macroeconomic growth has a small impact on the residential sector. In the Low Economic Growth Case from AEO2000, the gross domestic product (GDP) is projected to increase at an average annual rate of 1.7 percent through 2020, compared to 2.2 percent in the Reference Case, and is projected to increase at an average rate of 2.6 percent a year in the High Economic Growth case. The average projected growth rate of residential natural gas consumption in the Low Economic Growth case is slightly reduced to 0.7 percent a year, compared to 0.8 percent a year in both the Reference and High Economic Growth Cases. Across these economic growth cases, natural gas consumption varies by less than 0.1 trillion cubic feet from the Reference Case level of 5.5 trillion cubic feet in 2015.
Commercial Natural Gas Consumption
Natural gas consumption in the commercial sector has fluctuated over the last few years as variations in weather have affected the level of natural gas use. A significant portion (normally about 38 percent) of commercial natural gas consumption is used to fuel space heating equipment in commercial buildings, causing relatively cold or relatively warm weather to have a noticeable effect on consumption. For example, commercial natural gas consumption in 1998, a much warmer year than normal, was 4 percent lower than in 1996, a year with colder-than-normal weather. (The projections in AEO2000 assume normal weather.)
Commercial natural gas consumption is expected to reach 3.2 trillion cubic feet in 2000, meeting 20 percent of the sector=s energy needs. Consumption is projected to grow to 3.6 trillion cubic feet by 2015, increasing at an average annual rate of 0.8 percent. Commercial floorspace is expected to grow 1.0 percent per year during the same period. The intensity of commercial natural gas use varies by region and climate with the Midwest Census region using the most and the South using the least natural gas per square foot of commercial floorspace (Figure 4). The less heating-intensive South is expected to see more growth in the commercial sector through 2015 than other regions of the country, dampening overall projected growth in natural gas consumption.
In 2000, natural gas consumption for commercial space heating is expected to be 1.2 trillion cubic feet, meeting 70 percent of the space heating needs in the sector (Figure 5). Water heating, cooking, and cooling account for 0.7 trillion cubic feet of commercial gas consumption. About 1.3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas consumption is projected for all other commercial end uses, including about 0.5 trillion cubic feet to provide combined heat and power and district services to the sector.
Macroeconomic growth is a strong determinant of commercial sector growth. Using the High and Low Economic Growth Cases from AEO2000 provides a range of the potential natural gas consumption in the commercial sector under varying economic conditions. In the Low Economic Growth Case, the growth rate of commercial natural gas consumption is reduced to 0.6 percent a year between 2000 to 2015 from 0.8 percent a year in the Reference Case. In the High Economic Growth Case, the growth rate of commercial natural gas increases to 1.0 percent a year through 2015.
Industrial Natural Gas Consumption
The industrial sector, including manufacturing, agriculture, mining, and construction, consumed 9.3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in 2000, including lease and plant fuel, 42 percent of the total U.S. natural gas consumption. Industrial sector output is projected to grow 2.0 percent annually between 2000 and 2015 in the Reference Case of AEO2000. Over the same period, industrial natural gas consumption is projected to increase by 1.2 percent annually, reaching 11.2 trillion cubic feet in 2015 (Figure 6).
By 2015, the industrial sector=s share of total natural gas consumption will fall to 38 percent. In the High Economic Growth Case, industrial natural gas consumption is projected to increase to 12.0 trillion cubic feet in 2015, a 1.6-percent annual growth rate from 2000. The Low Economic Growth Case results in a projection of 10.6 trillion cubic feet for industrial natural gas consumption in 2015, a 0.8-percent annual growth rate.
Five industriesBsteel, paper, food, refining, and bulk chemicalsBare responsible for 70 percent of manufacturing natural gas consumption (Figure 7). The projected annual growth rates in output for these industries range from 0.8 percent for refining to 1.3 percent for bulk chemicals between 2000 and 2015, substantially less than the 2.0-percent growth rate for the total industrial sector. This is a principal factor in the relatively slow projected growth of total industrial natural gas consumption.
Electricity Generation Natural Gas Consumption
Over the next fifteen years the key factors underlying the increased use of natural gas in the electricity generation sector are expected to be the growing demand for electricity and the attractive economics of new natural gas-fired powerplants. Historically, the demand for electricity and economic growth, measured by GDP, have tended to move together, nearly mirroring each others= movements (Figure 8). As the economy grew, consumers= use of electricity also increased. In the 1950s and 1960s, as new electric appliances penetrated the market, the demand for electricity grew much more rapidly than the economyBoften growing more than twice as fast in a given year.
The relationship between electricity demand growth and economic growth began to change in the early 1970s as energy prices rose and major electricity-consuming appliances, such as air conditioners and refrigerators, saturated their markets. During the 1970s the gap between growth in electricity consumption and economic growth narrowed rapidly. Through the 1980s and 1990s they have moved nearly in lockstep with one anotherBwith GDP and electricity consumption increasing at average annual rates of 2.8 and 2.4 percent between 1980 and 2000, respectively.
Through 2015, the demand for electricity is expected to be driven by economic growth. However, because of slowing population growth, slow growth in electric-intensive industries, and the continued improvement in the efficiency of electricity-consuming appliances, the growth in electricity consumption is not expected to outpace economic growth. Although electricity consumption is expected to increase more rapidly than other end-use energy sources, it is projected to grow at a slower rate than the economy. Figure 9 illustrates some of the impact of efficiency improvements. Despite growth in the number of households, less energy will be used by refrigerators in 2020 than at present, as older, less efficient refrigerators are replaced with newer models.
The projections of electricity consumption are highly uncertain because many factors, such as technology development and consumer decisions, are very difficult to predict. In the Reference Case of AEO2000, the consumption of electricity is expected to increase 1.4 percent per year between 2000 and 2015. With the alternative economic growth assumptions in the High and Low Economic Growth Cases, the annual growth rate of electricity consumption ranges from between 1.2 to 1.7 percent over the same time period. If the growth rate for electricity consumption continues at the rate seen in the 1990s, it could be as high as 2.1 percent a year, the rate assumed in our High Electricity Demand Case. The table compares the EIA projections of electricity sales in 2015 with those of other organizations. The EIA Reference Case projection is around the middle of the range of alternative projections, while the Low and High Economic Growth Cases bracket the projections.

To meet the growing demand for electricity, electricity suppliers are expected to increase their use of existing plants and construct new plants as needed. In existing facilities, increased utilization of coal plants is expected to be important. However, when new plants are needed, natural gas-fired facilities are expected to dominate. In 1998, utility coal plants operated at an average capacity factor of 69 percent. Because these plants are very economical to operate, with average operating costs considerably under 2 cents per kilowatthour, their utilization will increase as the need for power grows. By 2015, in the AEO2000 Reference Case, the average capacity factor of these plants is expected to approach 82 percent. However, even with this increase in output, their share of total power generation is expected to decline slightly from 52 to 49 percent by 2015 since few new coal plants are expected to be added to the existing stock of power plants (Figure 10).
Even with the increased output from existing plants, a large number of new plants are expected to be needed between now and 2015. Some of these plants will be needed to meet growing electricity demand while others will be needed to replace existing plants that are expected to retire. Between 1998 and 2015, it is expected that 234 gigawatts of new capacity, approximately 780 average-sized 300-megawatt plants, will be needed. With the alternative economic growth assumptions, this projection ranges from 206 to 276 gigawatts, or between 687 and 920 average-sized new plants. If the demand for electricity continues to grow at more than 2 percent a year as it did in the 1990s, as much as 298 gigawatts of new capacity, or 993 average-sized 300-megawatt plants, could be needed by 2015.
The vast majority of the new plants are expected to be natural gas-fired facilities (Figure 11). Of the 780 new plants expected to be added between 1998 and 2015 in the Reference Case, 92 percent are expected to be natural gas-fired. Approximately half of this projected additional capacity will be simple combustion turbines while the other half are highly efficient combined-cycle plants. Other technologies such as new coal and renewable plants do not capture a large share of the projected new plant market. In AEO2000, some new coal plants are expected in the later years of the projections, after 2010, but new natural gas plants continue to dominate additions. Because of these additions of natural gas plants, the share of natural gas generation increases from less than 15 percent today to more than 28 percent by 2015.
The increasing market penetration of new natural gas-fired plants is largely due to the relative economics of natural gas plants compared with other fuels. Competing technologies, including new coal, wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and nuclear plants are more costly to build and operate than new natural gas plants (Figure 12). For example, a new 300-megawatt coal plant would cost approximately $330 million and have a thermal efficiency of about 36 percent. On the other hand, a new 300-megawatt natural gas combined-cycle plant would cost approximately $173 million and have a thermal efficiency of about 50 percent. Even though coal is a less expensive fuel than natural gas, the price difference is not large enough to overcome the advantage of the lower construction cost and higher operating efficiency advantages of new natural gas plants through 2015. Over time, the advantage is expected to narrow as the gap between coal and natural gas prices is expected to widen.
Natural gas consumption by electricity generators, excluding traditional cogenerators which are included in industrial consumption, is expected to grow from approximately 4.1 trillion cubic feet in 2000 to 8.4 trillion cubic feet in 2015. The consumption grows relatively slowly in the first few years of the projections because the natural gas plants that are added are mostly simple combustion turbine facilities that will not be operated intensively (that is, these plants tend to operate as peaking units at times when demand is relatively high). In addition, increased use of existing coal plants meets a large share of the projected generation needs in the early years. However, by 2005 natural gas consumption in the electricity sector is projected to grow more rapidly.
With alternative economic growth assumptions, the projected consumption of natural gas in the electricity sector could range from 7.7 trillion cubic feet to 8.9 trillion cubic feet in 2015. Even higher consumption, more than 10 trillion cubic feet, is possible if electricity demand continues to increase as it did in the 1990s.
While EIA=s projected growth for natural gas may appear somewhat aggressive, there are other, even higher projections for natural gas consumption. Partially driven by higher assumed economic growth, the recent National Petroleum Council (NPC) study projected natural gas consumption in 2015 at 31.3 trillion cubic feet, compared to 29.9 trillion cubic feet in the EIA Reference Case.2 Similar to EIA, the NPC study projects strong growth for electricity generation.
Environmental initiatives could also impact the growth of natural gas. Various analyses of policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions indicate that natural gas can be expected to make further inroads in the electricity generation sector as concerns about carbon dioxide emissions result in a substitution of natural gas for coal (which releases more carbon dioxide per unit of energy produced when burned). See, for instance, the 1998 study produced by EIA, Impacts of the Kyoto Protocol on U.S. Energy Markets and Economic Activity.3
EIA recognizes that the future growth of natural gas consumption is highly dependent on a number of factors, including the U.S. economic growth over the next fifteen years, the rate of electricity growth, the price of natural gas, particularly relative to coal for electricity generation, and the development of natural gas generation technologies. However, under all market conditions that EIA can foresee, it is most likely that natural gas use will experience strong growth, especially for electricity generation.2National Petroleum Council, Meeting the Challenges of the Nation's Growing Natural Gas Demand (Washington, DC, December 1999).

Education would help us all beter understand Hawaiian issues
Mahalo for bringing out some of the challenges all of us in these Hawaiian Islands must address. The quote to the effect that "Hawaiians have to look like idiots" by an Office of Hawaiian Affairs trustee who has been in office for 24 years, demonstrates why so many people perceive Hawaiians are divided.
The real issue is who continues to keep Hawaiians divided? In the 1990s, a process was set up called the Hawaiian Sovereignty Elections Council, three models of self-determination for the Hawaiian people were identified after consultation with international legal experts — "1. Total independence, 2. Nation within a nation, 3. State within a state." A process to elect delegates was created, a vote was held, and 80 elected delegates met, and decided that two models of self-determination should be explored: total independence and nation within a nation.
While the implications of "total independence" are obvious, the "nation within a nation" simply means equal status with the U.S. Soon after the delegates set this course, OHA and the state of Hawaii pulled all the funding, effectively killing that process.
The recent controversy erupted after OHA asking the U.S. State Department a simple question: "Does the Hawaiian Kingdom continue to exist under international law?" The majority of OHA trustees not wanting to know the answer demonstrates why it is time for an independent process, without OHA, its trustees or the state of Hawaii being involved.
An equal amount of money they have spent trying to force the Hawaiian people on the "state within the state" model, should be spent on educating everyone in these islands on the "nation within a nation" and "total independence" models of self-determination. This process would allow all of us to understand what is pono for all the people and the islands we all love.

text: Posted 28th September 2013 at 12:00 pm After seeing injuries disrupt the first half of his 2014/15 season, David Wheater bounced back to captain Wanderers against Wolves in January 2015. The former England under-21 international penned a three-and-a-half year a deal at the Macron Stadium in the 2011 January transfer window, arriving from Middlesbrough for an undisclosed fee.Wheater had been with the Teesside club since the age of 17 and scooped the FA Youth Cup in the 2003/04 season. He later went on to captain the first team and represent Middlesbrough in Europe, before call-ups to the full England set-up followed.Having also enjoyed previous loan spells with Doncaster Rovers, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Darlington, Wheater left the Riverside Stadium having amassed over 150 appearances and looks set to play a big part in Wanderers' future.Wheater made 11 appearances for Bolton towards the end of the 2010/11 campaign after completing his move from Middlesbrough. And during his first 345 minutes in a Wanderers shirt, the team did not concede a goal. In 2011/12 Wheater made 30 appearances for the Whites and popped up with a brace of headers in Bolton's 2-1 victory over Blackburn at the Macron.

originally i suggested that the point card prices reflect their recycle prices, with 1* cards recycling for 5 gran, and 1 point card recycling for 5gran, so they are apparently equal in the eyes of the recycling system.
However, because of these events with so many point cards given out, I can no longer in good conscience suggest that. Before it was also because new accounts come with 1 point card, most players don't even know what it does, and for the most part, it's completely worthless, a useless spot in their collection. It would've been nice if they could've used this card to buy a single 1*, if they needed it, but not anymore. With 5 point cards given out in the last event, that'd be 5 of ANY 1*, so that's no good.
I don't like the idea of 7 though, 5 point cards for a 1* might be ok, if they keep it a standard to give 5 point cards for each event such as this. Then you could get a 1* for each event, say if it's monthly, that's still only 12 1*'s, not gonna break your profits whatsoever. For the other rarities, i dunno, i know most donators really cringe over collecting 3*'s lately.
And my avatar is eating rice, because she's too poor to afford anything else.

Babble Interview: Jack Black Talks Parenting, Potty Humor and Gullivers Travels!Sunny Chanel
Jack Black is all about the energy. And in his new film Gulliver's Travels, his persona is bigger than life…literally.
In this modern take on the Jonathan Swift classic, Jack Black plays a loser in life but winner in the land of the little people. An epic journey that transforms him in ways that his life back in reality will never be the same. It's a redemption tale of becoming a bigger person not just in stature but in all aspects from career to love to friendship. And all that is tied up in this family friendly tale starring the hilarious and always on' Jack Black.
We recently along with a handful of other Mommy bloggers – talked to the down to earth Jack Black in Los Angeles about his kids, potty talk and of course the new 3D extravaganza Gulliver's Travels opening in theaters everywhere on Christmas Day December 25th.
Are your kids going to see the movie?
I think I'll wait until later to bring Sammy, my four year old. I don't want to bring him to the premier. It's going to be too intense. He doesn't really know that I'm famous yet, know what I mean? He might freak out if he realizes he's sharing me.
Has he seen Kung Fu Panda?
He has enjoyed that film, yes.
Does he know that that's you?
He has a concept of it now, yeah. He recognizes voices. The other day we were watching Bee Movie, you know, that Seinfeld movie? And he recognized one of the bugs because it was the same voice as the zebra from Madagascar. It was Chris Rock. And I was like, "Very good." So, he's starting to get it.
And he's starting to notice for instance, the other day he said, "Does everyone know you?" And I was like, "A lot of people know me, yeah." And he said, "Does everyone know me?" I said, "No. But, you know, people know you." So, he's starting to get, like, the concept of the biz.
And when you're out walking around and there's paparazzi everywhere, what are the reactions to that?
Well, we went to the park the other day and there were some creepy crawlers in the bushes with cameras. And he said "It's okay to take pictures in the movies, but not in real life." An I told him, "You're right." There should be a law to protect families.
I noticed that the film has a lot of potty humor, shall we say…and I was wondering how you deal with that kind of stuff in your house
I think it's just in the DNA. It's accepted. I'm not going to say it's encouraged, you know? We didn't introduce him to the concept of potty humor. But, kids naturally think its funny stuff, you know…poop, and pee and farts, it's all just very funny. And I think it's good, because it gets them over their issues with going to the bathroom by themselves and similar situations. I think it's all pretty positive.
And just to mention quickly, I want to say there's tons of potty humor in the book. We didn't create those ideas just for our film.
Even the the fire scene (where Jack Black's character urinates on a palace to put out a raging fire)? Is that in the book?
Oh, Yeah. Yes, Yes, It's one of the funniest chapters in the book. We actually cut out a lot of potty humor that was in the book.
Yes, Because, when Gulliver first gets there and they've enslaved him because they aren't sure who he is, they solve the poo problem by, like, strapping a giant box to his butt. There were all kinds of gross stuff that we had to go through and cut.
At one point in the movie, I really thought you were talking to the little people. So, how did you psych yourself up to do that?
Well, it doesn't sound like real professional actor preparation. But, I do play with a lot of toys to get ready for the giant and tiny person relationships. And luckily I had a bunch of toys at home, because my kids have them everywhere.
I'm assuming that you're kind of a silly person in real life.
I do have a silly side, yes.
Do you see any signs of that in your kids?
My boys, especially my oldest, he loves to ham it up. He's the real performer in our household. He loves the attention and a captive audience. If you come over, you will see. He will entertain you.
Do you guys, sing classic rock and dance or play piano or get into any Guitar Hero (which plays a part in the film)?
No Guitar Hero. But, I have been introducing him to some of my favorite music that I think they would dig. For instance, they really like Weezer. I really recommend Weezer for kids.
How about that theme throughout the movie of getting over your fear of failure? It was an adult character, but you could relate it being a kid as well. I saw a lot of ties to being a kid and overcoming failure, throughout.
That's a theme that we thought would be great that's not really in the book. But, since it deals with, a giant and tiny people, we thought it would be cool to have that that insecurity theme about being a small person in a big man's world and being, insecure about being lost in the shuffle. And I think that ties in really well with kids' insecurities about being the little guys and wanting so desperately to be big, famous heroes. In a nutshell its basically you don't have to pretend to be the president or you don't have to be a big shot. You just have to have a big heart and be kind to your loved ones. That's what it comes down to.
Now that you have kids, would you want to live in Lilliput? Don't you think it is a simpler life?
Yeah. In a way, it's an ideal society. But, as you said, everyone takes your word as as truth. That's why he's able to get away with making up this elaborate story about himself, because everyone just says, "Yeah, he said it. It must be true." But, it's a fun place for an adventure. But, no, I wouldn't want to live there. You know why? Because it's lonely being a giant. There's no one big enough to give you a hug.
One of the things that's so great about the movie is that it shows you in a new land, and how you can reinvent yourself in a way that sort of permanently changes you when you return to your homeland. But, since every kid can't be transported to a fantasyland, is there a way that people can reinvent themselves in their own lives?
Wow, that's a great question. It's always a slow journey of self-discovery. That's what it's all about. The reason this role resonated with me was I remember being a kid and wanting so desperately to be special and wanting to be bigger than I was.
Has being a father sort of changed your whole perspective on life? Has it changed some of the roles that you gravitated towards? And even how you might act and perform.
I do think about it more now that I have the boys. I think about having movies that they can see, you know, in the next 20 years as opposed to having keep it on the shelf.
Is that one reason that you signed on the with the upcoming Muppets movie? Or is that a personal love?
That's a personal love of the Muppets on my part. I would have done that with or without kids. And also, my good buddy Jason Segel who was in Gullliver's Travels with me and wrote the Muppets. Jason told me about the Muppets, about two years ago–Jason has a crazy obsession with puppetry.
Did you take your family with you wile filming Gulliver's Travels in London?
Yeah, I bring them everywhere. Until they're in kindergarten. I don't know what I'm going to do when they start real school. London is so great. In many ways, it's better for kids, than raising them in LA. London has some beautiful parks. And great walking.
Do you think that doing modern versions of the classics makes people more interested in reading and literature, or do you think they're like, "I don't need to read the Swift book. I saw Jack Black's movie."
No, I think it's a helpful bridge to actual literature. I think a lot of kids that see this will later on read the book. But, it's not really a book for, eight year olds. This book is a little older. It's a tough nut to crack for a kid. I think it's definitely for the early teens, teens. Yes that age group for the book, But the film is great for even a younger age.
And you can find out yourself when the film open on December 25th – Christmas Day. Plus check out a clip from the movie here!

North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue wants to talk to the leadership of the Highway Patrol in the wake of several cases of trooper misconduct.
Perdue's office said she will meet with about 160 members of the force's leadership Wednesday.
Perdue spokeswoman Chrissy Pearson says they will discuss plans to start the process of repairing the Highway Patrol's reputation. She declined to discuss details.
The meeting comes just a couple weeks after the force's top spokesman resigned after sending inappropriate text messages to a co-worker. One trooper resigned recently after being charged with drunken driving while another was fired after being pulled over on suspicion of drunken driving.

Students Hear Virtues of Diversity and Inclusion as Keys to Corporate Success

Employers should invest in a diverse workforce to ensure a viable future for their companies, the head of the Hispanic Federation said on Nov. 3 at Fordham.
"When you build inclusion into a structure, what you build is trust, cohesion and unity," said Lillian Rodríguez López (FCRH '85), who leads the nonprofit membership organization that serves nearly 100 health and human services agencies in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
The keynote speaker for the Office of Career Services' annual Diversity Networking Banquet, Rodríguez López said she didn't believe the immigration debate had to do solely with how people arrive in this country.
"It's whether or not we're willing to accept that we are a country founded on the basis of freedom, diversity and multiculturalism," she said to an audience of about 200 students and 20 recruiters from a variety of corporations.
"If we don't accept that, and remember that is what made us great, we're doomed to fail," she added.
Globalization has drastically changed the world, rendering it increasingly diverse, Rodríguez López said. For companies to meet the challenge of operating among diverse cultures, they are going to have to do things differently.
"Why don't we decide today that diversity just is? We don't need to make a case for it," she said. "We don't need to defend it anymore, but we do need to make a case for inclusion."
Companies should be deliberate about the inclusion of people of different races, colors and creeds.
"It means you make everyone welcome to bring their best to your work environment," Rodríguez López said. "When you build inclusion, it shows you value diversity and success. For the companies here today, thank you for taking the time to invest in our students. You're really investing in your own future.
Fordham students got to network with representatives from several companies.

"All of these students know their communities," she said. "These are our next leaders and their trajectory within Fordham and outside of this great institution, will set the stage for how companies and this country succeed or fail."
The Diversity Networking Banquet gives employers an opportunity to meet with students with diversity recruitment in mind. Representatives from more than 16 corporations attended the event, including those who are CORE partners supporting the initiatives of Fordham's Office of Career Services.
They are: Deloitte, KPMG, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Northwestern Mutual Financial Network—the Russo Group, Northwestern Mutual Financial Network—the White Plains Group, Standard Motor Products and Target.
Sodexo, which manages Fordham's food service program, provided support for the banquet.
Founded in 1841, Fordham is the Jesuit University of New York, offering exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition to approximately 14,700 students in its four undergraduate colleges and its six graduate and professional schools. It has residential campuses in the Bronx and Manhattan, a campus in Westchester, the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y., and the London Centre at Heythrop College in the United Kingdom.

Should my Metal Halide lighting be Sunny?
I just installed a 250 watt metal halide bulb in my hood. Previously I only had 2 coral life flourescents and 1 actinic blue. The lighting was bright white. Now with the addition of the metal halide bulb, my tank looks really sunny (yellowish). I installed a Iwasaki MT250DL-E39/41R which I purchased from marine depot. I have never seen one of these bulbs before but have read that they are good for reef tanks, which is my ultimate goal. So, should my lighting have this sunny look?
it all depends on the temp of the bulb. if its 10K it or less it tends to be on the more yellow side.

One thing that has always fascinated me is the art of making charcuterie. For years, I have longed to learn the craft of salting, smoking, curing and drying large, fat-laden slabs of meat. I'd even bought a copy of Michael Ruhlman and Brian Polcyn's, definitive tome on the subject, Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking, and Curing. Late at night, I would greedily pore over those pages, lusting after each photo and dreaming of someday presenting my loved ones with my own delicately spiced and perfectly balanced versions of sopressata, guanciale, pâté and confit. I discovered other like-minded, charcuterie-loving bloggers as well – trailblazers in the metamorphoses of pork, duck and foie gras.
Until very recently, I have only admired those adventurous, bacon curing, salumi making souls from afar – never daring to venture into those uncharted waters myself. Then, I found out about Charcutepalooza, a twelve month blogging extravaganza devoted to celebrating the "elegant craft of salting, smoking and curing" meat. Each month, the group tackles a different type of charcuterie, using Ruhlman's book as a guide, and the participants each post about their experiences. With over three hundred members and counting, Charcutepalooza is a great opportunity to explore, learn and share the ins and outs of homemade charcuterie.
I sat on the fence for a long time before I decided to join the group. I worried that I wouldn't have the time or the resources to follow through. I also worried that the hot, muggy climate I live in wouldn't be conducive to hanging and curing meat. And, I was really afraid that I might unwittingly kill someone with my carnivorous creations! However, when I finally found a local source of fresh duck and pork bellies, I threw caution to the wind and signed on.
I had already missed the first Charcutepalooza assignment, which was making duck prosciutto. I decided to start there anyway as the process looked pretty easy. It seemed like a good way to get my feet wet, and the end result sounded pretty awesome.
Little did I know then that my plans would soon go awry.
I prepped my duck breasts…
…covered them in kosher salt, and let them sit in the fridge for twenty-four hours.
Then, I rinsed and dried them thoroughly.
After that, I wrapped them in some unbleached cheesecloth and tied them up with butcher's twine.
I measured the weight of each breast at the start of the process and every other day after that, carefully recording the results. The prosciutto is supposed to be ready to consume after it has lost a third of it's weight. This is supposed to take about a week, but after two, mine still needed more time.
When I started out, the weather here was still hovering in the mid fifties, so I found the coolest spot in my house and literally hung those duck breasts out to dry. And yes, that is a pasta drying rack that my duck breasts are hanging from. Since I rarely make fresh pasta these days, I was glad that I could put the rack to good use. I think they look kind of cute – sort of like an eclectic pair of great, big, meaty earrings. Quick! Someone call Tim Gunn!
When the temperature started to climb, I moved the rack out to the garage, which stayed several degrees cooler. Eventually, I had to break down and hang it in my garage fridge. It was just too warm to leave it out anymore.
This is where things went horribly wrong.
The next day after storing my duck breasts in the garage fridge, I went out there to get them for their daily weigh-in. When I opened the fridge door, the rack – and my duck prosciutto – were gone.
At first, I thought that someone must have taken out the rack to make some room, and left the breasts in there. But, I couldn't find them. I took everything out of the fridge, thinking that maybe they had fallen behind something else. Still nothing. Then, I looked all around the garage, hoping that whoever moved the rack had accidentally left them out. I found the empty rack, but no duck breasts.
I moved my search inside the house and, with the keen precision of Sherlock Holmes, hunted from room to room for clues. But, the duck breasts were nowhere to be found. They had simply vanished!
By this time I was getting a little panicky. Was someone playing a cruel joke on me? Was I losing my mind? Did Bella suddenly develop thumbs and teach herself how to open the fridge? Did some duck-loving burglar sneak into my garage in the dead of night and steal it? All sorts of crazy scenarios ran through my head.
Later that day, I kicked into "lawyer mode" and cross-examined both Mr. and Mini SGCC. Both of them vehemently denied having ever touched the duck breasts. They both seemed like they were telling the truth. Mr. SGCC even looked a little sad about the fact that he wasn't going to ever get to try my duck prosciutto. Still, how well do I really know those two?
I tried to question Bella too, but she wasn't talking. Hmmm. Come to think of it, she did look a little guilty…
It's been several days now, and still no duck breasts. I kept hoping that they would turn up somewhere, but no such luck. I honestly have no idea what could have happened to those little suckers. And, I was so looking forward to sharing my first attempt at curing meat with you too. It could have been a beautiful thing, people. What a disappointment!
My next charcuterie experiment is going to be Charcutepalooza's February assignment: homemade bacon. I actually saw Michael Ruhlman demonstrate how to do this last Fall at BlogHer Food, so I'm really excited about trying it. I'm hoping to catch up with the rest of the group, so I'll also be working on the March challenge, which is all about brining. How does some homemade corned beef for St. Paddy's Day sound?
After my duck prosciutto fiasco, you can bet that I intend to keep a very close eye on all future charcuterie endeavors. But in the meantime, if you happen to see any small, stray, cheesecloth-wrapped bundles of duck prosciutto lying around, or spot Lady Gaga sporting an eclectic pair of great, big, meaty earrings, please let me know A.S.A.P.! I'm willing to share.
