Eight down and two more victories to go for the Middletown Cavalier football team as the 2012 regular season winds down after the Cavaliers dismantled the previously undefeated Salesianum squad 35-0 Friday night at Bill Billings Stadium in front of an estimated standing room only crowd of nearly 6,000 spectators. The loss was the first of the season for the Sals, who's record fell to 7-1. "We have a hard working group. This team is used to adversity," said Salesianum coach Bill DiNardo, who, incidentally, is a former Middletown coach. "This game was like a punch to the gut, but we will bounce back. "We have to get right back to work and prepare for our last two games, said DiNardo. As they have done all season long, Middletown's terrific trio of senior wide receiver Chris Godwin, senior running back Jamar Baynard and junior quarterback Darius Wade performed flawlessly on offense for the defending state champions. As the season draws to its conclusion, it seems likely that the Cavaliers will return to the Division One state championship game in December and have a great opportunity and loads of talent to defend their title. This week, it was Godwin who had an outstanding night, scoring three touchdowns for Middletown. His first was an electrifying, 78-yard punt return after Salesianum punted after a three and out on their first possession. Godwin grabbed the ball, broke to his left, broke several tackles, then flew down the left sidelines, in front of the ecstatic home fans. Josh Leach's extra point gave the Cavs' a 7-0 lead with 9:33 remaining in the first quarter. "That punt return was special, Chris is a special young man," said Middletown coach Mark DelPercio. It was really a heck of a play, I'm glad he's wearing blue for us. He's that type of kid, a very fine young man and a very fine football player," said DelPercio. Middletown got back on the scoreboard early in the second period when Wade hit Godwin with a 12-yard touchdown pass at 11:17. As the clock wound down to the end of the first half, Baynard slipped around the left side behind a wall of blockers and scored a 4-yard touchdown with only 24 seconds remaining until halftime. Leach's two PAT's gave the Cavs a 21-0 lead heading into the halftime locker room. The Cavalier's continued their relentless pressure on offense and defense in the second half. While the offense was racking up yardage and points, the defense was shutting down a Sallies team that was averaging nearly 40 points per game, but not on this night, against this team. The home team added to its point total on a 12-yard run by Wade at the conclusion of a long, 6-minute drive to build the lead to 28-0. Midway through the fourth quarter, Sallies had their best scoring chance, but was stopped on downs at the six yard line by the tenacious Cavalier defense. With 6:39 remaining, Godwin scored his third touchdown of the evening on a 7-yard pass from Wade. "I can't say enough about the job the defensive coaches and the team did tonight. They had a great game plan , and the players are passionate about what they do and learning the game plan, and I couldn't be happier about the way they played tonight," said DelPercio. Next Saturday, Middletown travels to New Castle to battle William Penn in a Flight A contest. The kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. The Sals ninth game of the season is against Concord on the road Saturday afternoon, also at 2 p.m.

just tell me what kind of things really piss you off.
just tell me what kind of things really piss you off.
The unfairness of the Tower of Lost Souls' missions in Soul Calibur IV.
People who don't use their fucking turn signals.
i have to say.
when people talk on their phones during movies, and i mean loudly.
and when they don't have the phones on vibrate and text with the key tones on during movies as well.
it's rude. really rude. and annoying.
Excessive force is the answer.
i have done that. i actually glared at a person enough to actually cause them to put their phone away. and i took my brothers phone from him and put it on silence and vibrate.
Your glare must be truly fearsome O_O You should have a glaring contest with Keke.
What pissed me off as recently as last Friday:
My son hadn't slept in over 60+ hours. I finally got him to sleep about 11pm in my arms in a recliner in his ICU room. I fell asleep too, just leaning my head back. At 4am the nurse came in and woke us up insisting she move him to a crib because they are "not liable" if he falls and hurts himself while sleeping on my lap, insisting that I wouldn't be permitted to sue them. I explained that I had no intention of it, and she still woke my baby up. After that, he was up until the following night about 10pm.
That was her job, and it was "rules and regulations" and whatnot. That didn't piss me off as bad as this did... as she left the room she patted my hand and said, "It'll be okay, honey." WITHOUT apologizing... As I tried to comfort my screaming and kicking child. OKAY BITCH, IF I AM YOUR HONEY, WHY DID YOU WAKE MY CHILD UP AFTER I TOLD YOU EXPLICITLY NOT TO?!
3 hours later, my husband finally brought me a change of clothes. 3 days, 1 outfit = crusty unders. Just sayin'. I was desperate for a shower, sleep deprived, and angry at the stupid nurse for waking us up.
THE SAME NURSE came up to me after I had cleaned up and said, "Did you clean up or something? Because it smells better in Preston's room."
I looked at her. Just that.
One look.
And she fled.
She didn't say one word, simply beat a hasty retreat. Probably for fear of my wrath.
you probably do.
i've only caused a few people to stop what they were doing.
that does sound frustrating.
the kid's okay right?
When there's a snowstorm in May *shakes fist at window*
ah good to hear his doing well.
i love your banner btw.
i see your anti twilight.
stupid sparkling vamps.
and rob patz looks like a little queer bait.
It was 95 degrees outside today.
Child Abuse... I hate it... and enrages me so much!
Anyone who abuses their child or abuses any child should be fucking killed.
Pedophiles should be killed, there is no helping them, they should die.
I hate to be graphic, but here it is:
Imagine an adult man, sticking his penis in a defenseless child, a child who is crying... screams that make this fucking bastard hot and cums inside that child... just let that stay in your mind. And if that thought angers you, then you should agree that sicko's like that should be killed regardless. There is no fucking help for them or anyone who harms a child!
Leo 3DS friend Code: 0344 - 9299 - 0936
Someone was telling me cruel infanticide jokes on the bus today and it made me think about how there really are people out there doing the things stated in his jokes, such as raping babies, and throwing them in dumpsters. I die a little inside just thinking about it.

Cucumber Side Dish RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon dill weed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 medium cucumbers, sliced
- 1/2 cup sliced onion
- In a bowl, combine the sour cream, vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, dill and salt. Add cucumbers and onion; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve with a slotted spoon. Yield: 6 servings.
Reviews for Cucumber Side Dish
"This is a very refreshing salad. The thinner you slice the cucumbers the better. This always disappears fast when I make it. Thank you for sharing!"
"It was ok, not too popular with my group. I had a lot leftover."
"To be honest, I was disappointed in this dish after I read all the positive reviews. I did increase the sugar which several reviewers suggested, but still wasn't impressed with the taste. I decided to give it a second chance tomorrow after sitting overnight."
"This is the best salad ever for we love and grow cucumbers. I used 3 tablespoons of cider vinegar and increased the sugar to 2 T. + 1 teaspoon sugar. We do not like dill so I substituted celery seeds and added extra onion. I also added a little red and yellow bell pepper. Soooooo, so good!"
"You need to double the dressing recipe to get the results pictured.I also added an extra 1 tsp of sugar because the cider vinegar flavor was too strong.It's very important to let this salad sit. The first time I made this, it was bland an awful. I let it sit 3 hours the second time with the above modifications and it was perfect."

Where do in-sourcing customers come from?Of the nearly 900 people who responded to an exclusive survey, most answered that maintaining other city departments' fleets was on the top of the list These fleets might include fire, police, or other maintenance vehicles. Source; PUBLIC WORKS
Why don't you do in-sourcing?Many fleet maintenance departments are stretched too thin to be able to do any kind of in-sourcing. Most respondents (70%) who do in-sourcing charge time and materials costs for their work. Source: PUBLIC WORKS

David Higgins, director of fleet maintenance Boston's Central Fleet Maintenance division, does all equipment tracking electronically. Photo: City of Boston
All three cities have a rigorous preventive maintenance (PM) program. Boston's CFM division calls in vehicles based on a combination of elapsed time and fuel usage. The fuel system is connected to a Gasboy computer. Higgins set up a spreadsheet that shows quarterly fuel consumption, and vehicles are called in accordingly. "For everybody's fleet that we manage, I have an e-mail list," said Higgins. "Halfway through June, for example, I notify the fleet managers that they have one, two, or 12 vehicles that need to be brought in for preventive maintenance or a state inspection."
CFM's system is "semi-paperless." Mechanics are assigned jobs by a shop foreman, and they then log onto that repair order on FF software. When the mechanic completes the job, he goes back to the shop foreman to get his next job. A service writer completes the paperwork for the job just finished.
"We have toyed with the idea of a paperless shop," said Higgins. "But I have seen cases where the paperless shop is a horrific nightmare." In a paperless shop, vehicles are bar coded, and the service writer scans in the bar code. The job is assigned to a technician, who reads work to do from a screen. "I've not seen a paperless system that works that well," said Higgins. "The mechanic will end up writing down things that he needs to remember. I'm not a fan of the paperless shop."
In Troy, all specialty equipment such as salt trucks, lawn mowers, and street sweepers get an exhaustive preseason inspection. "Our preseason inspection was put together by all the technicians as a team, with management input," said Lamerato. "That inspection is bulletproof. For trucks, for example, we have a checklist with 40 to 45 specific inspections—drive train, engine, lighting system, brakes, frame, steering—the works. One or more technicians complete the inspection, and it's reviewed by the shop supervisor."
For vehicle information management, Troy uses FASTER software by CCG Systems Inc., Norfolk, Va. Fleet maintenance reviews PM schedules at the beginning of the month and at mid-month. "The last few months we've been at 100% compliance in getting our PMs done," said Lamerato. "That is the reason our vehicles are on the road, not in the shop.
"I would say that when a vehicle goes down, 80% of the time it's back up within 24 hours," he added. "We try to stick to 80% to 85% back up in 24 hours. And right now we're at 97% vehicle availability, maybe closer to 98%." Lamerato said the city's two Tymco street sweepers have missed fewer than five days of work in the past five years.
Lamerato said Troy has switched most vehicles to synthetic oil, not only for the engine, but for transmissions and rear axles as well. He said it extends oil-change intervals, lowers the cost of oil, and increases fuel economy. "And it's lowered the operating temperatures of our transmissions," said Lamerato. "Heat is the number one enemy of a transmission.
"Your transmission oil is cooled by the radiator, and if the transmission oil is running cooler, it puts less strain on the cooling system, so the engine will run cooler as well," said Lamerato.
For its size, Yuma is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, with the population increasing 36% between 1990 and 2000, Caudill said. Accordingly, the city's equipment replacement fund is growing to $2.9 million in fiscal year 2005–2006, up from $2.25 million in fiscal year 2004–2005. "That's aggressive," said Caudill. "It allows us to maintain a younger fleet."
The replacement fund is managed by an Equipment Replacement Committee composed of Caudill from Fleet Services, and members from each user department, such as streets, fire, and police. The group meets twice a year to review new equipment needs.
User departments pay a "rental charge" for equipment and vehicles. Whenever a vehicle is put into the fleet, it's given an amortized life. The rental charge includes a flat depreciation plus a cost of money that allows the city to pay the increased cost of vehicles, said Caudill. "An inflation factor is added on, based on the type of vehicle it is," he said. "The cost of steel has gone up rapidly. We've had to redo a lot of numbers."
Equipment and vehicles are examined for replacement two years earlier than the life expectancy. "We look at them two years out," said Caudill. "We look at the condition, the life in miles, the repair expenses to date, and more."
Looking at replacement needs early gives Yuma the chamce to "push a vehicle out by another year, or pull it back, replace it early," said Caudill. "The equipment replacement fund is a living, breathing fund. We try to identify any vehicles that may be money pits."
Yuma has 22 different accounts that contribute to the Equipment Replacement Fund. The largest share, 63%, comes from the general fund, which is sales tax dollars. Money must stay within each of the 22 accounts to be spent. But the general fund can shift money among various needs, for example, from police vehicles to fire apparatus or parks and recreation.
Before Yuma established an equipment replacement fund, equipment was 12 to 20 years old and deteriorating, Caudill said. Prior to 1985, the city approved a $2.5 million to $3 million bond issue to buy equipment. "We bought all new sedans for the police, all new refuse trucks, and went to the side loader refuse business," said Caudill.

Since opening its handmade doors to guests on December 27th, 2010, Bali Eco Stay has blown away visitors. "Peaceful, authentic and beautiful" writes Gabriella Salmon, among the first to stay in Rice Water Bungalow. The first family of six who stayed in the Harvest Bungalow left saying, "All our expectations were exceeded and we will be back."
With every greeting beginning with an infectious smile, you cannot help but fall in love with this dreamlike place. Bali Eco Stay is a place to relax, rest, rejuvenate and quieten your mind, body and soul, whilst you breathe in nothing but fresh air from the lush greenery encompassing you.
It took eight months to build the Eco Stay in its entirety. The three bungalows, which can accommodate between two to six people, are built with intricate detail, aesthetically pleasing views, and vast amounts of space to leisure in. They are quite open on all sides, which allows for a free flowing breeze. Each bed is covered by romantic nets for sleeping and the small skylights placed within the ceiling allow for plenty of light.
Bali Eco Stay uses the first hydro-electricity system of its kind in Bali to power the property. The new Eco Stay is pioneering this new way to the future of sustainable vacations on the Island.
If you are in the mood for delicious food, head to Kupe Kupe; the restaurant just a stone's throw away from your bungalow. Enjoy your meals overlooking the organic rice fields whilst listening to the soothing sounds of Balinese music.
A hidden gem, it is the 'off the beaten path' traveller's ideal vacation: a perfect package for the environmentally conscious while spoiling yourself at the same time. Yes! You can have it all.

Providing a widely respected neutral platform to bring the mobile communications industry together and disseminate information to suppliers through seminars, workshops, newsletters and session chairs. We have enabled competitors to work through us to deliver innovation and operational standards for the benefit of consumers and suppliers alike.
In these years our membership has changed from early-days hardware suppliers developing despatch systems, Mobile email and navigation specialists, to current application suppliers providing text and other messaging services. Throughout all of this we have worked closely with the Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and Industry Regulators to assure consumer safety through standardisation and familiarity.
Some of our key successes are:
1997 – Proposing and Chairing the MNO committee to standardise text message formats to enable cross-network text messaging, thus starting the explosive growth of text messaging across all generations.
1999 – Established the www.text.it website to promote, inform and show data growth in messaging – message volumes. This included education on usage, international highlights and media information supporting the rapid growth during the text revolution.
2004 – We proposed and established, with the Networks, the universal STOP command for text messages to help trace / reduce Spam and inappropriate messages.
2005 - Chairing the MNO committee to standardise and enable cross-network picture messaging, again providing the statistics, news and media information on our www.text.it website.
2008 – Established with the MNO's, after major trials with, for example, Tsunami Appeal, the national 70xxx Charity Text Short Codes enabling safe, secure, donations for charities free from VAT. This sector grew from zero to over £40 million in the first three years of operation and is now a standard feature of major Charity campaigns.
2009 – Brought together the MNOs to support the BBC's messaging day with free picture messages for the day for the BBC's campaign.
2009 – Established the getsettings.org website to assist consumer programming of unlocked mobile phones to operate on their preferred network.
2012 – Set out a framework for single point reporting of fraud and abuse across mobile and fixed devices.
Alongside these highlights we have developed Member policy positions with PhonepayPlus (the UK premium rate regulator) and Ofcom. MDA has also assisted UK Trade and Investment with inward and outward trade missions supporting the UK telecommunications industry. These roles have called upon the wide ranging experience of our members for the benefit of business development, the consumer and the industry as a whole.
As the Internet is now all pervasive with smartphones accounting for 61% of the total active UK mobile phone population in 2014, after a 20th Anniversary review we have concluded that our work is now done and that our on-going interests in charity and security can be better supported elsewhere. We are now closed for further business and wish to thank all those many individuals and organisations who have contributed to the invaluable work we have undertaken over the past 21 years.

Hopefully, you've already heard about this year's Savor the Summit. If you have not participated in a Savor before, I highly suggest you check into this.
It is one of the most exciting events Cuisine Unlimited is involved in all year. And, we are the only caterer invited to participate.
The Grande Table at Savor the Summit runs the length of Main Street, Park City. We, along with participating restaurants, create the most distinctive dining experience in the Rockies. Main Street will be closed to vehicular traffic but open to visitors and participants.
This year, we are bringing you two very exciting and unique culinary experiences. Our Mediterranean Grill will feature unusual Greek hors d'oeuvres and an entrée of marinated lamb. Our Native Utah dinner will include our 100-mile menu (everything sourced within 100 miles in Native American fashion). Flute entertainment will enhance the experience.
Executive Chef, Steve Ulibarri
For us, we must create a restaurant setting without even having a kitchen—not unlike what is required of us for almost every catered event we do—even those for thousands of people. Our day begins earlier than the Main Street restaurants because we need to build an entire working kitchen within hours of serving time.
Weeks before, we secure all our permits and even reserve parking stalls for our trucks and staff. It takes months to get all in place and the planning is all the more important in order to meet both back and front of the house health requirements and having every single food product, plate and garnish onsite. We create a tented kitchen using stoves and refrigeration, lighting and, the very important, hand sinks powered by generators. We carry in all our water for sanitizing our temporary prep kitchen and use bottled water for dinner service. We create a kitchen and scullery just as you would find behind the scenes at any restaurant with heating/cooking units, refrigeration and prep counters. We even have to be sure the ground we are on meets code and is clean and sanitized prior to our arrival. And, don't forget all those dirty dishes need a separate area away from the kitchen for clearing and packing to transport back to our kitchens.
Logistically, it takes a real team effort to create this type of event.
Come serving time, we operate as any kitchen would, dividing our kitchen staff into two teams to accommodate the different meals we offer. At times, it even becomes a competition between the kitchen staff to produce the most creative meal, cold as needed, hot when required with a creative presentation that will more than please our guests.
Why do we do all this for the 32 guests that will sit at our tables? It's just plain fun for all of us to be part of this community event where the competition is keen.
To reserve your spot for Savor the Summit, visit cuisineunlimited.com or call 801-268-2332.

Reviews for Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo with Bacon
"We loved this! I'm wondering, the reviewers who say this is bland......do you season your chicken and pasta? I mean, I do follow recipes pretty much exact, but I always season my meat and other ingredients, such as pasta or vegetables, with kosher salt and pepper. We seasoned up our chicken while it was cooking, along with the fettuccine, and this was absolutely heavenly! Had to leave the shrooms out for my husband's preference, but I'll make this again when he's working out of town! Love it!"
"I felt this was rather bland too. I added three garlic cloves, but omitted the paprika. Instead, I added a bit of nutmeg, which is normally used in Alfredo sauce. The sauce didn't thicken up and was very runny. I used one cup of milk and one half cup of fat free 1/2 n 1/2. The second night, I made a regular Alfredo sauce and added it. It was very good and I added a bit of flour to the sauce to thicken it."
"My whole family loves it, even my two picky kids."
"I added chopped brocoli to mines with a bit of italian seasoning."
"My family loves this recipe! I would much rather make this then eat it at a restaurant."

Adele absolutely kills this cover of Cheryl Cole's "Promise This" for BBC's Live Lounge. Originally an upbeat dance song, Adele tones it down to show off her pipes, as she should. Lucky for us, it's also a technique we hear in her upcoming album, 21.
Adele – "Promise This" (Cheryl Cole Cover)
Adele – Promise This (Cheryl Cole Cover) by CherylOnline
While the new album by Adele has not officially arrived in the US yet, the Euro scene and the savvy, impatient blogosphere is already eating it up. Some press highlights include:
"With just a piano as backing there are no layers to pull back or hidden meanings to uncover and its simplicity will leave you feeling the full effects of her beautiful make-your-hair-stand-on-end vocals. It's an early shout, but it could very well be the album of 2011." – Punchbowl Blog
"This is a serious and frequently astonishing album." -Holy Moly
"Her second offering has lived up to the reputation she has created from her debut and powerful voice which is the female Johnny Cash." – M is for Music
"21 is simply stunning. … Genuinely brilliant." – BBC
21 will be released in the US on February 22nd on Columbia Records.

ZF-12108: Dojo 1.5.2 available (backport of IE9 patches)
A new release of dojo 1.5 is available: http://dojotoolkit.org/blog/dojo-1-5-2-released.
Basically it's a backport of the patches availables in the 1.6 branch to fix the IE9 related issues.
I think that 1.5.2 version should be the default CDN version for the ZF1.12 release as long as it will be the las ZF1 release.
Forget this. I've asked to @dojo guys when will be the 1.5.2 available in the Google CDN and they told me that it was a long story, bug it will never happen!
The 1.5.2 release will not be available in CDN

Hellmut - you have managed to deliver one of the most fact-free rants I have seen in a long time.
You say, "Every year the hurricanes start to impose a bigger cost on your country." The fact is, we are in the longest period in our history without a major (F3-F5) hurricane strike. We just went through the longest period in our history without any hurricane strike at all.
You say, "The ice on the poles is melting closer to the worth case scenarios, so you might go to Florida to visit those large cities sumerged in the Atlantic Ocean." The summer melting of the (floating) Arctic sea ice has absolutely no effect on sea level. The measurements of the land-based ice on Greenland and Antarctica are so close to zero change that any trends are within the margins of measurement errors. Even if you accept the maximum reduction rates, they would contribute less than a millimeter per year to sea level rise.
US government scientists this year examined the recent record of sea level measurements, using satellite altimeter measurements, satellite gravity-change measurements, and ocean heat content measurements. They concluded that the average sea-level rise rate during the satellite era has been 1.3mm/year, without any acceleration. That comes to 13cm (5 inches) per century. Does this require radical actions?
You say, "Every year more and stronger tornados affect your country with a increasing number of deaths." Again, completely wrong. Strong tornados (F3-F5) show a long-term decreasing trend. There has been an increase in the reported number of weak tornados (F0-F2), but that is due to better detection from new technologies like Doppler radar and personal video cameras. We are presently in the longest period in our history without a single tornado-caused death.
You say, "All of this besides beeing extremely expensive for the whole economy that has to pay the bill, you are loosing the time to implement change." Americans spend 5 times as much on heating as on air-conditioning. A warm year actually gives a major boost to the economy due to reduced heating costs. Even the IPCC now agrees that there have been no trends in extreme weather -- see their recent Special Report on Extreme Weather (SREX).
You simply have no idea what you are talking about.

True, But...

I perceive that current-day battery EVs fit into the "getting there" category. GM's EV1 was a valuable learning experience, but it was a DOA product - waaaay too short a range to have any real value. "Nice try," GM! The Leaf and Volt, are
a lot
better. They are "getting there," but they're far from "a dream come true," and I expect that in 15 years, we look back at them and again say, "nice try."
However, the Leaf is good enough that, if my family did need two cars, I probably would buy one, and in fact would most of the time drive it, instead of my 2009 Prius. However, the range is still too short to avoid needing a gasoline-powered car in the garage too.
Before I bought a partially-electric vehicle, I would not have guessed just how much gasoline engines would come to gross me out. Driving on electric feels so clean, quiet and elegant, that when the engine kicks in I feel like I'm jumping back a couple decades, back to the age of dirty, noisy and kludgy.
I really do wish I could drive electric all the time, but, again, the current crop of EVs is still firmly in the "getting there" category.

The cost of battery pack replacement for a Prius is $3K. It is claimed that a used one can be obtained from a salvage yard for around $500, although my recent search did not find an available one, but I did locate battery pack cells on e-bay that can be used for replacement/repair with the extra effort to balance the cell profiles. So there is also a refurbishing process, but one needs to be well educated about safety in handling high DC voltages.
If the criteria for purchasing a EV were simply the cost of replacing the battery pack, then I would have never purchased another vehicle with ICE due to the cost I incurred for replacement of two transmissions at nearly $2K each. Given that the mean time to failure for battery packs is somewhere above 200K miles, we all know that the scrap yard is full of ICE cars that haven't reached 200K miles and burn lots of oil due to various reasons. In the specific case of the Prius, because the cost of replacing the battery pack is coming down to the point of replacement cost for engine or transmission in a conventaional car, then you need to begin to take a balanced approach to look at failure rates and number of potential replacement components. Interestingly enough, the Prius' drive transmission is far simpler than a conventional transmission. Hence, one talks about battery packs vs transmission replacement costs. From this viewpoint, I came to the conclusion that it's not as big an issue as folks have made it out to be with the exception of the final arguement that the electric vehicle repair is far more specialized at this point in time as compared to conventional automobiles...

I have as you do concerns about battery life. I guess I am thinking old fashioned, but a gas engine can last "forever" if maintained properly. To put a mileage life on the batteries seems weird to me. What if you treat it bad, does that drop significantly? I don't trust batteries lasting even a percentage of the amount that they are claimed to(in our electronics they sure don't!). I also do not think they have had time to be tested...Gas powered cars can be sold after using them for ten years. When do the motors start to use more battery than when they were new? What happens to battery powered cars after ten years? Just throw in new batteries like a remote control? What if the car is beat up, is it worth buying new batteries for? To me that's like buying a used car and throwing in a new engine. Guess I am old school, but I'll wait and see how it all pans out.

Real cost of energy
Login to Rate
IMO, all the discussions about the economics of electrical vehicles vs those fueled by fossil fuels ignore the real cost of the energy. Perhaps it's because it's too difficult to measure, or perhaps it's because we would like to ignore the issue. Likely somewhere in the middle.
With a few exceptions, the cost we pay for fossil fuels (and the electricity generated from them) does not include the indirect costs of the waste products - CO2, NOx, ground level ozone, etc. I know there is a wide variety of opinion about these issues, but it is kind of hard to ignore the smog in larger cities, or the dramatic increases in atmospheric CO2 in the past century. Perhaps the effects are not enough "in your face", or occur on time scales longer than a human lifetime, so they are harder to appreciate. But there are costs, and we are not paying them. Yet.

OK, so express what you like or dislike about your Prius rather than put down my viewpoint with the off handed comment... I am not attempting to put down the Prius and I know that folks that own them are pleased with the mileage and performance they get. Many alter their driving habits per the display which is a bit distracting to the first time driver...
It was my impression from the 30 minute test drive my wife and I took at Rushford, Mn. This region is hilly. One has to stomp the peddle on any car to climb up and down the hill sides in that area and the Prius does not have the git-up to pass on these 2 lane slope hillsides... The MPG metering dropped down to around 13 MPG on these slopes and the car was clearly working overload to pull the grade. This wasn't flat land where many folks probably take their test drive.
I am not saying the car is not engineered well for it purpose of recovery of energy by regeneration. Simply that I felt for the same engine, that the Echo has more "get up" with the manual transmission and ability to downshift and control applied torque. The Echo is no show piece car by any means and the airo dynamics suck. Just that it happens to have the same motor. I am the 2nd owner of the echo and it has 230K miles and has had nearly 0 problems for prior owner and myself which speaks volumes about the Toyota engineering.... The Prius has far better styling and airodynamics and road comfort. So any other comparison other than impression of drive train is clearly unintentional from my part. I was only expressing my impression of the abilty of this car to accellerate when one needs it for passing.
From this viewpoint, if one can run a larger engine using the Nissan approach and coast it part time to achieve similar fuel mileage, then I would think that a better solution for the overall machine cost.
I also looked seriously at the battery life of the Prius and was impressed that Toyota has done it's engineering as there has been a lot of hype about cost of battery replacement, yet all indications I could find was the there is not available information for mean time to failure for the battery packs due to the very low failure rates. Toyota switched to Li ion in 2010 and one expects better performance than the prior usage of metal hydride cells. The sales folks at the small down dealership were very informative and spent 30 minutes talking with me about their impression and knowledge of the battery life and issues. They had recently obtained and resold a Prius with 245K miles on the original battery. They informed me that they had discussed with the local Toyota dealership in Winona, Mn and learned that the dealership has yet to purchase and install their first replacement battery pack.... So, from this first hand discussion and my subsequent investigation of the internet materials regarding battery life, my research went a long ways toward debunking the hype that we have seen about concerns regarding early battery pack failure failure and replacement costs... the battery pack replacement costs have come down to around $3K for new replacements (including labor and exhange of the old pack).
So, I not only test drove it, but I have been seriously investigating a purchase when I did so. I simply am impressed by the approach by Nissan to achieve similar gas mileage using alternate means which I would view would be more economical for cost. Having said that, I will say that I have not test driven the equivalent Nissan model to be able to provide similar critique of road experience.
Best regards to you and your family in the new year... - Weldon

I think we all agree that the sticking point with EVs is the battery or other energy storage device. There is no denying the great amount of energy stored in just a gallon of gasoline. In fact, there is so much energy, that the available waste energy of even today's higher efficiency internal combustion engines can be used to heat and cool our automobiles.
So let's quit arguing about how underdeveloped EVs are and let's emphasize where their use is most advantageous. Let's not (at least not yet) sell the EV as a highway cruiser that can go from your house in Suburban Chicago to Granddad's house in central Wisconsin. Let's sell it as a local-use errand-runner and grocery-getter. Let's make the EV's price attractive and avoid building technical
so that "everyman" and "everywoman" can afford to buy and maintain them. As a local-use vehicle, the battery pack could be sized to allow heating and even air-conditioning. And I'm not talking about some micro-sized car worn one on each foot, but a compact-size vehicle that can haul Mom or Dad, the kids, and groceries with some comfort and in reasonable safety.
This, I think, would expand the customer base, increase customers' familiarity with electrics, and bring in funding to pay for reseach to develop high efficiency, energy-dense storage devices such as novel battery chemistries and supercapacitors, and higher efficiency motors.
Watcha think?
Best regards, Myron Boyajian

Stay dreaming my dear US friends

It is amacing how once and always again I find US citizen using a filter to have the world fit their believes. I remember over many years going to Comdex Show in Las Vegas and have the taxi driver dreaming about this being the biggest electronic show in the World. Over the years those same taxi driver started to learn that their biggest of the world was just a minor show form the pure size perspective. They learned this from the foreign clients they were driving around.
Every year the hurricans start to impose a bigger cost on your country, even afecting those not directly involved through the increase of insurance fees.
The ice on the poles is melting closer to the worth case scenarios, so you might go to Florida to visit those large cities sumerged in the Atlantic Ocean, remembering that using new technologies to get access to oil made you continue brning oil in an ever increasing rate! Lets hope the metan in the oceans will not melt and polute the plant.
Ever year more and stronger tornados affect your country with a increasing number of death. But of course as smart politician of your country said: We are the land of God and so this cannot be true, God would not do this to us.
All of this besides beeing extremely expensive for the whole economy that has to pay the bill, you are loosing the time to implement change.
One of the comment contributors did say it right, to my believe. The goverment has the deepest pockets and has to spped up the solving of the many undoubtfully right weaknesses of todays technical solutions. But with ever increasing deaths at US schools, powerful people with deep pockets, it is probably better to have every school boy and girl have a weapon to protect itself!
This is typical for the US in many areas!
Take the debt! Europe is going through a painful restructuring adapting its economy and its goverments to stop using the money of next generations. The debt of the US per capita is much worth than that of the EU. And you have to compare the US to the EU, not to individual countries!
Wake up America as you have done in the past and bundle your energies and resiurces to fix your country. Stop suffering from tipical islands people behavoir. The North American continent is a big island that make its people blind.

Ok, I'm way off. So give us references that can be used to check the facts. I was not stating what fuels we were using to generate power in the US. I was simply stating that coal is less efficent than say oil or natural gas. What I was trying to convey was that you loose about 75% of the energy you put into the generator by the time you consume it at home. If this number is really off, what is it then?
Some basic digging on ICE efficiency shows that todays best engines are about 25-30% efficient with goals to get to 50%.Direct injection gas is getting up to 35% and diesels around 40% and turbo diesels up to 50%.
I have a camp in Maine that is 225 miles from home. How the heck do I get there with an EV? Stop every 40-50 miles for a 2-3 hour charge? At 50 miles per charge I could stop at a hotel with a charging station and charge my EV at night. It would only take me 4 days to get there and 4 days to get back. With 40-60 mile ranges, they are good for short commutes. My commute to work is 75 miles round trip. If there is no charging station at work (which there is not) I'm not getting back home.
And that range drops where you live. I live in MA. When it is cold and I need to run an electric heater and defroster and plow through slush and snow that range will likely drop to 30 miles. In the summer I'd like to use the AC.
If these EVs are so great why are they not selling? Becuase NOBODY but a few folks find a use for such a vehicle and the price tag is too high. By the way, the fact that you get a rebate from uncle Sam on your EV purchase is a joke since we all have to pay for that rebate. And to make it worse, the gov't is borrowing money to give you that rebate. Even fewer would sell if you had to pay the real cost.
Did you know that in the early 1900's there were many electric vehicles. The Baker electric being one. It topped out at 25MPH but went 100 miles between charges with 1900's battery, motor, areodynamic, and power train efficiencies. EV's certainly have come far in over 100 years hav'nt they?
EVs are not the best answer to the larger populace now and will not be in the next 15 years. Mr Obama dumped tons of money into the Green energy movement and looked what has happened. Many went bankrupt and they are out of business. For now, fossil fuel is the best answer.

The statistics, or, more correctly, the projected assumptions, are saying what the media want them to say. The numbers may be carrect, as they appear to be this time, but the assertions are a work of fiction, beyond any doubt. But we need to understand that individuals don't go into the news business because they want to spread the news, they go into the news media to "change the world." That is not my assertion, it came from a study by some university that offered degrees in the news media realm.
So what we really have is a large collection of "spin-meisters" representing that their pet thing is winning. As we often find when we dig deper, the reality is often a bit different. That may be why engineers have a reputation for not being so much fun, which is because we often discount the bleating mass marketer's hype, and we don't run with the crowd. At least, I don't.

Capitol Police arrested a Dover man and woman March 20 after they got into a physical altercation at Kent County Family Court.
The two were identified as Kareathal Dukes, 22, of the 400 block of East Water St., and Christopher Warren, 31, of the 100 block of Willis Road, Dover, said police spokeswoman Kimberly H. Chandler.
The two were in a mediation hearing when both became loud and boisterous, said Chandler and the argument escalated in a physical altercation.
Dukes and Warren both were issued a summons for disorderly conduct and released pending an appearance in Justice of the Peace Court 7, Dover.

Interview with cycling commentator Scott Moninger
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Listen to internet radio with overthetop on Blog Talk Radio
After learning the correct pronunciation of "Moninger", we discuss Scott's roots in cycling, motivation to continue his winning ways, his goals and also who he considered his toughest competition. We then delve into retirement and how an athlete fills the void of no more competition. Scott explains the reasoning behind his amazing 90s hairstyle, differences between some of the teams with which he raced and we also spend a bit of time bashing Kansas terrain (it's his home state so he can good naturedly get away with this). Moninger discusses how he landed his role with NBC Sports as a Tour de France analyst and also talk about what he enjoys most about his role as a cycling coach.

Rosie Perez: Mitt Romney Latino Statement Response
Posted by Native NYker in latino voters, mitt romney, politics, rosie perez on October 16, 2012
We try not tackling politics on folks. It's dull and nothing more than a elongated four letter word. And, why use longer expletives than needed? There is also the general practice of bias by folks. We find that people are going to support a candidate within their party and hell to the evidence of wrongs or character flaws there be looking them in the face. Like take Mitt Romney for example. The man has all but sworn his looking down at 47% of Americans as nothing more than lazy non-willing to work poor-is-me takers and yet there are those who would march their way on their knees over jagged cement to support his privileged ass..
Say nothing of his Mexican sneers. But we betcha their are a slew of Latinos still willing to cast a vote for the well-to-do wanna-be president. Cuz, well, you know, Romney will share the wealth and see them as exceptions to the rest of em…
News flash for those Latinos: He isn't going to share it with y'all, nor is he going to let you become a member of his elitist club! Stop it already, dumb-asses.
It's a twisted version of tunnel vision – the support any one party member shows for their identified candidate that is – or selective vision, as we prefer to say… Sad but wholeheartedly true.
We will however make an exception with this here Rosie Perez response to Mitt Romney's suggestion of it being easier for a Latino. Cuz y'all know how we grow cash out back alongside those Avocado plants. And most Latino's have someone sitting at a desk ready to sign that check so their kid can schlep off to Harvard, they just chose not to go cuz what would be the point in taking that opportunity.
Try as we might, however, we couldn't possibly do it the justice girlfriend uses to break it down so beautifully for the masses. So we won't even try any further. But we couldn't pass on the opportunity of mixing up the celebrity content – say nothing of the NSFW material – on here with a some sass from a true ass Puerto Rican..
So it is with this sentiment in mind that we give the floor to Ms. Perez of the Bronx, NY.

On November 29, 1969, the Beatles were at the top of Billboard's Hot 100, earning their first two-sided Number One single with "Come Together/Something." It became the Fab Four's 18th Number One single – one more than Elvis Presley's 17, which he reached on November 1 that year with "Suspicious Minds." On the week of November 29, Billboard changed the way it calculated its charts, ranking both sides of double-sided singles in the same position rather than separately. This was key to the Beatles' Number One climb, as the previous week saw "Come Together" fall to Number Seven and "Something" hold strong at Number 3.
"Come Together" and "Something" appeared on Abbey Road, the Beatles' 11th studio album, released in the United States on October 1, 1969. George Harrison's "Something" was the first of his musical compositions to be released as an A-side to a Beatles' single. In Harrison's partial autobiography, I, Me, Mine, he explained of "Something": "This I suppose is my most successful song with over 150 cover versions. My favorite cover version is the one by James Brown – that was excellent." Ray Charles, Smokey Robinson, Shirley Bassey, and Booker T. and the M.G.'s were among others who would cover the track, the latter three all charting.
"Come Together" was penned by John Lennon, and the last song recorded for and the lead track on Abbey Road. The song featured Lennon on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, and despite the bluesy groove of the track and unconventional composition featuring only verses and refrains, it became a rock anthem. Like "Something," many covers of "Come Together" emerged, including versions by Ike and Tina Turner (which hit Number 57 in 1970) and Aerosmith (which reached Number 23 in 1978).
When John Lennon was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, Axl Rose and Bruce Springsteen took the stage at the Induction Ceremony to perform "Come Together," sharing vocal duties with unique though equally moving performances.

Credit union action lands pair in jail, leads to WPD crash
Published: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 11:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 11:34 p.m.
A man and woman were arrested Tuesday after an incident prompted a lockdown and led to a crash involving a Wilmington Police Department officer, according to a news release.
A man walked into the State Employees Credit Union, 3500 Converse Drive, shortly after 1 p.m. and approached a teller, extending his hand, police spokeswoman Lucy Crockett said. The teller didn't respond and the man grabbed a dollar and change from a woman at a counter, the release said.
Credit union employees triggered a panic alarm and the bank went into lockdown after the man left, Crockett said.
The suspect's vehicle was stopped by police on Independence Boulevard. The passenger, Roy Augusta Smith II, and driver, Shanita Wynette Reid, were arrested, Crockett said.
Smith was taken to the New Hanover County jail, where he was held in lieu of $10,000 bond. Reid was charged with resist/obstruct and delay. She posted bond and was released.
Video aired by WECT-TV appeared to show an officer kicking a person on the ground after the suspect's car was stopped.
Crockett said the incident will be reviewed due to use of force by officers. She said police video confirms that officers repeatedly ordered Reid and Smith from the car without success. "Once the male suspect was pulled from the vehicle, he still refused the command to put his hands behind his back," Crockett said.
A WPD officer responding to the scene was involved in a traffic collision, she said. The crash remains under investigation.

These were a find completely by chance. I had stopped at a place in Hollywood for dinner, and I was surprised to find that the establishment was more of a gourmet store than a restaurant. No matter really. I put in my order and explored their store offerings while I waited. And that's where I found these.
These certainly have an "old timey" classic candy feel to them. I contribute much of that to the design of the packaging. It feels very classic. I have never heard of the brand before this, so of course I decided to give them a try. I should try things that are simple, like hard candies too. If done right they are extremely tasty!
One thing for sure, this packaging takes no chances. I opened the box to find a tight plastic bag that held the candies which were also individually wrapped. It feels a bit unnecessary to me.
Pretty aren't they?
The actual hard candy is small and football shaped. I'd say it's about the size of a Jordan Almond.
The flavor is immediately strong and flavorful. It starts out tasting like orange soda, with strong fake orange flavors and a strong sweetness. Then the flavor mellows and tastes more strange. It loses the intense orange flavor and trades it for something milder. I'm trying to put my finger on it, but it's like an orange cough drop without the menthol flavor to it. It's tasty, just strange as to how what a complete 180 this flavor took in terms of its orange flavoring.
These are nice orange candies. They last a long time in your mouth and they aren't easy to start chewing on (which is something I am guilty of). These feel much more upscale than regular old orange hard candies from Jolly Rancher and the like. I much prefer these to the likes of these. Something about the flavor feels purer to me. A nice teat if you don't mind paying a little extra for them.
