- Option 1 examined injecting 500 MW of power into the transmission system from a hypothetical generation resource in Davidson County, N.C., located near the Duke Energy Buck Plant.
- Option 2 examined the impact of three different Wind Generation Scenarios as part of the joint NCTPC – PJM inter-regional study. The different scenarios were evaluated with varying levels of wind energy penetration originating off the North Carolina / Virginia coast and varying levels of power transfers between the PJM, DEC and PEC systems.
Collaborative Regional Transmission Plan IDs 11 Major Projects
RALEIGH, N.C., Feb. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Participants in the North Carolina Transmission Planning Collaborative (NCTPC) have identified 11 major transmission projects, representing more than $318 million in investments over the next decade, as part of the 2012-2022 Collaborative Transmission Plan for North Carolina (2012 plan). The 2011 plan included an estimate of $296 million for 11 projects. One of those projects was completed by Progress in December 2012. One new project was identified by Progress which ended up replacing one of the 2011 projects. In-service dates and cost estimates for some projects in the 2012 plan that are planned or underway have been revised based on updated information.The collaborative was formed in 2005 to develop a shared plan for electric transmission system enhancements in the state. Participants include Duke Energy Carolinas, Progress Energy Carolinas, North Carolina Electric Membership Corporation and ElectriCities of North Carolina. Since its inception in 2005, projects totaling $839 million have been identified in the NCTPC plans, with $306 million placed into service through 2012, $197 million currently under construction, $91 million still in the planning stage, and another $245 million being deferred outside the planning horizon or cancelled as a result of changing system requirements. The scope of the 2012 planning study included a base reliability analysis for transmission needs to meet load growth between 2013 and 2022 as well as an analysis of various system conditions under a number of hypothetical resource supply option scenarios. The Resource Supply Options for the 2012 NCTPC Study consisted of two types of scenarios to examine the transmission system impacts of hypothetical generation resources:

EVTN Presents Oil Spill Technology On CNBC; Announces BP Review Of Its Voraxial® Oil/Water Separator
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Enviro Voraxial Technology, Inc. (OTCBB: EVTN) was featured on the CNBC Television Show "Power Lunch," June 7, 2010 with Tyler Mathison, Michelle Cabrera and Sue Herera. The show presented EVTN as an example of private sector American entrepreneurial spirit, developing effective solutions to control and clean major oil spills. The EVTN segment of this show may be seen by clicking on the following link: http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232/?video=1515795009&play=1During the show it was announced that British Petroleum (BP) notified EVTN that it is reviewing EVTN's Voraxial® Separator technology for possible application to its oil spill response program. Mr. John A. Di Bella provided examples of the huge volumes of oil-contaminated sea water that could be processed by EVTN's patented Voraxial® Separator, as compared to the average oil recovery reported for the entire deployed Gulf fleet since the beginning of the Deepwater Horizon disaster. A single Voraxial® 4000 Separator, EVTN's medium size model, can separate over 700,000 gallons of oil/water mixture per day. EVTN's largest model, the Voraxial® 8000 Separator can separate over 5 million gallons of oil/water mixture per day. According to Deepwater Horizon's website, as of June 8, 2010 a total of approximately 16 million gallons of oil/water mixture has been collected since the spill began in April. "The Voraxial® Separator's unique characteristics allow the technology to be used in various industries for many different applications, including oil spill recovery. The Voraxial Separator is ideal for oil spill recovery and we are pursuing a number of opportunities to deploy our units to the Gulf," stated John A. Di Bella, COO of EVTN. "The Voraxial offers one of the best solutions to mitigate this crisis as we can significantly increase the amount of oil/water mixture processed and quickly separate the oil from the captured mixture." About EVTN: Enviro Voraxial Technology, Inc. (OTCBB "EVTN") is a Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based CleanTech company that developed and manufactures the Voraxial®, arguably the world's most efficient technology for high volume, bulk separation of fluids such as oil and water. The Voraxial® Separator is a scalable cost-effective, mechanical separator that separates contaminants at high volumes with less space, energy and weight than conventional equipment. The Voraxial® Separator benefits include: high volume/small footprint, no pressure drop requirement, 2-way or 3 way separation, handles fluctuations in flow rate and oil concentration without any adjustments, high "g" force and less maintenance than conventional equipment. These benefits result in significant acquisition and operating cost savings to the customer.

The various reasons given in response to the question 'what goes wrong when our students speak English' can be as follows:
a) Students are tongue tied and shy and they refuse to open their mouth.
b) They lack confidence.
c) They are afraid of speaking, fear of going wrong and committing mistakes.
d) They grope for words.
e) They are unable to distinguish between Sea and She.
They perform well in the classroom, in predictable contexts, but are unable to tackle unpredicted situations outside the classroom.
This list of problems in speaking English is not exhaustive, you could add to this list. But such a diagnosis is necessary to decide on what kind of treatment is needed in order to develop our learners' spoken skills.
In a multilingual society like India, two or more language plans may become mixed, leading to code switching, code mixing, transfer or so called interference errors e.g. while giving directions to the stranger, the learners may say ' maidan' or 'pucca road' or 'kachha road' etc. as teachers, we have to make our learners aware of the contexts where such expressions are acceptable and where they are not.
In Garrett's Model (1982), our cognitive process cause speech to pass through four levels of representation before it is actually produced as sound.
a) Message level/conceptual planning process, at which ideas and general meanings are represented.
b) Functional level plans, here broad syntactic frames are assembled and word meanings are selected.
c) Positional level, here sentence structure and word forms (with endings) are defined.
d) Production level, here actual articulation of words is produced.
Now we can define Speaking – Speaking is effective communication, when all aspects of a language are integrated into a single utterance. There are two approaches to the development of oral communication skills.
a) Learning language as a skill, in the classroom.
b) Developing spoken skills through exposure and use.
Language as a skill...

I would say the majority of gawd's excuses (for me) have already been stated, the number one being:
"It's God's Will" I FUCKING hate hearing that more than anything else!!
I've only read the first page and a half, this may have been stated and I just haven't read it yet, but this one
always fucked with me: (this may seem off topic but bear with me)
Why all the bad shit happens: "This is Satan's world"
Me: Oh, so God can't do anything about it?
Xian: Oh, He will but it will only happen after the rapture

God's just mysterious. (This is code for, "I realize I just lost the argument, so I'll toss this one out there to try to distract you since there is no argument against it.")
His ways are so beyond our understanding that he couldn't even make his actions make sense to us if he wanted to, because our brains just couldn't handle it.
This is what my Mom says, it drives me crazy!!!!

One more I've heard is that if God were to reveal himself we still wouldn't believe. WTF? If God revealed himself I'd have all the reason to believe. Just another example of Christians trying to read the minds of unbelievers based on select bible verses.
"If" is a supposition only, but xians are used to basing their lives on supposition.

Towns & Villages
Two points of interest dominate the character of the bustling East Sussex town of Hastings – the sea and 1066. One of the medieval Cinque Ports, Hastings has long had a close relationship with the ocean, and although its fishing industry has declined, it still has Europe's largest beach-launched fishing fleet.
As for the Norman Conquests, Hastings is not the actual location of the famous battle in 1066. That exact spot is just a few miles down the road at Battle Abbey. However, its legacy still colours the entire town. The remains of William the Conqueror's first English castle still stand today, though centuries of warfare and erosion have taken their toll.
Today the town offers a range of attractions for the short break visitor looking for what to do in Hastings. From Britain's steepest funicular, to the meandering alleyways of the Old Town, it's a great place to explore for a few days.
Events in Hastings
2016 marks 950 years since the Battle of Hastings and there are plenty of special events taking place throughout the year to mark the milestone.
Hastings also boasts a lively (and growing) arts scene. Every year the coastal Current Arts Festival brings a stunning variety of works and performances to Hastings. This innovative, creative side to Hastings comes out in unexpected places. The seafront is now decorated with several impressive light displays – including the wonderful Sticks of Rock!
Things to see and do in Hastings...
- Try the Shipwreck Museum for tales of souls lost at sea then head to the nearby Blue Reef Aquarium to get up close and personal with numerous sea creatures.
- Visit the nearby town of Battle and see the site of the famous 1066 Battle of Hastings at Battle Abbey.
- Take a look at the John Logie Baird Collection at the Hastings Museum and Art Gallery - Baird was living in Hastings when he invented the television.
- Find out about the area's links to 18th century smuggling at the Smugglers Adventure at St Clements Caves.
- The town of Rye is a 20 minute drive or train journey from Hastings and is reputed to be the best preserved medieval town in the UK. The cobbled streets of Rye citadel is a photographer or artist's dream and the Rye town model and story of Rye is a great introduction to your visit to the town. Winchelsea is a precious gem of a town, built on a hill just five minutes journey outside Rye, and has the third largest network of medieval wine cellars in England, as well as the beautiful St Thomas the Martyr church and monastery ruins. C J Sampson based his fictional town of Shinglesea in the novel 'Dissolution' on the town of Winchelsea.
- In the other direction a five minute drive or bus journey takes you to the 7 mile stretch of dunes at Camber Sands, East Sussex's biggest sandy beach and a dream for kite surfers, kite buggiers or sand castle builders.
- The Jerwood Gallery is home to the Jerwood Collection of 20th and 21st century art and an exhibition programme showcasing the best of modern and contemporary British art.
- Bexhill is just a short cycle ride or bracing seafront stroll from Hastings as far as elegant Bexhill, the birthplace of British motor racing. Visit the iconic De La Warr Pavilion, now a major arts centre. Bexhill Museum offers something for everyone from local history and archaeology to fashion and Bexhill's motor heritage.
Hastings Tourist Information.
Guided tours of the town can be arranged from Hastings Tourist Information Centre or from the railway station. Blue Badge Guided Tours are also available in Hastings (and a great way to get an insight into the history of the town).

Vt. man facing arson charge in horse barn fireThe Associated Press | March 22,2013MONKTON - A 31-year-old Vermont man is being charged with setting fire to a horse barn in Monkton that he owned with his wife.
Police say Dennis White was cited into court on Monday to answer the charge of first-degree arson in connection with the Feb. 24 fire at the barn with attached indoor riding ring.
The barn was fully engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived after a resident reported seeing "an orange glow" in the area of the barn.
There were no injuries and none of the 14 horses being kept at the barn at the time were hurt.

Yield: 11.53%
Dividend Amount: 10 cents
Ex-Dividend Date: June 6, 2012
Beta: 0.73 Strategy: This is a Lotto ticket play unless you're already bullish on Frontier. If you're bullish it may be better to buy the June $3.00 strike for 6 cents over intrinsic value instead of buying stock. At a current cost of about 35 cents, and virtually zero time decay between now and the day before trading ex-dividend, this is as close as you get to a free ride on Wall Street. Buying the option instead of the stock is like catching a falling knife with your bare hands vs. catching the knife with leather gloves on. You can cut your risk buying options to 10% for the same relative number of shares compared to buying the stock outright, giving up almost none of the upside for two weeks. Praxair, Inc. (PX - Get Report) Praxair, Inc. engages in the production, distribution, and sale atmospheric and process gases, as well as surface coatings in North America, Europe, South America, and Asia.
Yield: 1.97%
Dividend Amount: 55 cents
Ex-Dividend Date: June 5, 2012
Beta: 0.84 Strategy: Like Frontier, only better, Praxair is another falling knife appearing to be ready for a bounce. I would wait and look for an entry price of less than $108 this week. A gap down like the one on March 6 followed by a reversal would get me interested. I would look to buy June $95.00 or $100 strike call for 20 cents over the intrinsic value. No reason to try to capture the dividend, the option will most likely get an early exercise and reaching for 55 cents with a $100 stock can end badly fast.

I'd like to hear critiques of the design for VirtualMusic.tv. I think I need to create a better menu at the top. I'd like to make it as visual as possible. Any ideas? Thanks =)
I'd like to hear critiques of the design for VirtualMusic.tv. I think I need to create a better menu at the top. I'd like to make it as visual as possible. Any ideas? Thanks =)
Yeah, the menu really needs some touching. The bottom menu does too :-)
isaacyassar: Thanks for the input—I'm going to change both =)
I built a new menu for VirtualMusic.tv using this dropdown technique. The home page is also more visual now, as I'm only showing the thumbnails. Thoughts?
I've updated the design a bit:
home page: VirtualMusic.tv
ex. category: virtualmusic.tv/musicflux/
Constructive criticism wanted =)
hello ryanve, I am actually a fan of your site. Honestly, I like the part where it says MUSIC FLUX. Great job! However, I noticed that some parts of your main site were not so organized. I hope you can change it a little bit. Other than that everything is perfect!
@weight_loss_menus Awesome, thanks for the input. You're right—I think I was getting a little carried away with the categories. I think I was confusing people with the previous dropdown menu. What I did for now was streamline/simplify it into 5 main categories (Music,Design,Photo Journal,Apps,Infoculture) some of which have sub categories. Music Flux and Band Radar are now sub-categories of Music. That works, right? I'm glad you're liking the Music Flux section, which so far is the most popular section. I'm working on some new posts for Music Flux now. Another way to explore the site is with the search bar. I had received feedback in another forum saying I should make the site look 'more hip' so I've been trying to address that as well. Thanks :)

Ellen Novacek, 102
Born Oct. 6, 1909

They took their produce to Benton Harbor Fruit Exchange, and later, sold to grocery stores in Indiana and Illinois. Ellen's family owned Novacek's Grocery Store on Red Arrow Highway in Union Pier at one time, as well as operated a milk delivery service for Producers Creamery in Benton Harbor.
After retiring from farming, Ellen and her sister, Helen, tended a beautiful one-acre garden for many years at the family home they continued to share.
