How do you cope with Mother Nature's Evil Winds
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
It's never good when the temperature and wind speed are equal
Photo Credit: http://stephanieliles.blogspot.com/
Warm nice temperatures and strong evil winds entered the front range area yesterday with winds exceeding the temperature by reaching 88mph in Boulder. This turned the weather NEvil (nice + evil) Over the years I've heard some odd ways people deal with this beast. Below are some recent quotes and I'll add I few I think I remember.
"Imagine the wind puffing energy into you" (or something like that, Heather Irmiger.
"Crazy windy. Dodging trash-can lids and flying cats, BUT worth it. Rode with a vest, and NO HAT OR GLOVES. I have HANDS!! With FINGERS!"
Catherine Johnson
"wind skills are useful around here especially in the Spring. relax and let the wind push you around, but when you are about"
One great thing about all this wind is the 'wind face' people make. so cool, really.
Bicycle Labs
" Hate the trainer? Try to use your trainer rides as a way to meditate: ow.ly/8Sees #cycling"
Dejan Smaic
I wonder what the top speed of any brave rider could be while riding east with the TAIL WIND on Rt1 119?? Any takers??
Megan Hottman
"So for the next 24 hrs it's going to be 60-80mph wind where I live. Finally warm enough to ride and ... Denied thx to wind."
What is your strategy to deal with the wind? Do you;
- suck it up and use it as a training opportunity and love the warmth
- hide in the basement on the trainer
- drink a beer and read 303cycling and dream of rides you will do later

Top Ten Tips for Riding in the Wind
Submitted by Crankymommy (not verified) on
It is always windy when I ride. Always. I like to pretend it gives me a leg up for racing. I've devoted ample thought to come up with ways to battle the wind. Probably an unhealthy amount of thought.
Here are my top ten tips for surviving.
#10: Don't attempt it you are below the "Katie Index": 145pounds/5'10".
#9: The "Katie Index" can have variations. For instance, my sister Lynette, is taller, but lighter. Dangerous combo for her. She blows like a sheet in the wind.
#8: When the wind is head on, spin in a lower gear. Pay attention It's tempting to look straight down to avoid shrapnel, but that's just dangerous.
#7: Side wind--gear up a touch from the spin and prepare for gusts. Drop your wind side shoulder like a boxer preparing for a punch.
#6: Side wind from your right, take the lane. Take the whole damn thing before you need it rather than getting blown into traffic.
#5: Side wind from your left-be wary of shoulders--especially the non-existent ones. One gust and you're ditch-a-fied.
#4: Clip-out @ stoplights before you normally do. Side gusts-brace the bike a little on the diagonal with your non-gust foot ahead.
#3: Dress accordingly. 45 degrees can feel like 15 with high winds.
#2: Tail winds can be riotously enjoyable. Ride them while you can but ride them responsibly. Your stop time might not be so fun.
#1: As always, be aware of flying debris. Yes, it seems like a bad natural disaster movie, but flying objects can and do impale.
And with that fellow windies, get out there, brave the wind and enjoy yourself.

#1: Direct wife to drive 80

#1: Direct wife to drive 80 miles in the direction the wind is blowing. Meet her 3 hours later.

bring a small screwdriver
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Bring a small screw driver to clean the tumbleweed out of the gears. Be ready for the sand/gravel blasting during the big gusts. Have an old pair of Oakly 'Pilots' (if you can find them) for those days. if you can ride the mtn bike in the woods. Remember it could be worse.. you could be living in the midwest, where spring cycling also includes lots of rain with the wind.
Points: 16
Bring the fat cyclist out for a ride
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
The best tactic for riding in the wind is to invite a friend with a large surface area and use them as a wind block. Caution: friend may not speak with you for a while.
Points: 14
Consider it a physics lesson
Submitted by pwayland (not verified) on
Consider it a physics lesson on the undeniable fact that air has mass and at higher velocity can exhibit significant opposing force. Then go ride flagstaff where the wind is typically calmer.

The Yellowstone River is the longest undammed river in the lower 48 states, and travelling on the river is a beautiful experience. Hunter Weeks captured that beauty in his film Where the Yellowstone Goes, which shows at Brewvies on April 4 at 7:30 p.m.
The director will be there to answer any of your questions, and if you ask he'll probably even give you an autograph. But first, he answered some of ours. Check out our Q&A with Weeks below.
How did you get into the film biz?
Back in 2004, I was working a corporate marketing job and just felt like my soul was going numb, so I quit my job and a buddy of mine and I decided to make a documentary film about him riding a Segway from Seattle to Boston at 10 miles per hour. We had no idea what we were doing, but we began to learn by doing it. I'm a big believer in education by experience. Nine years later, I've filmed six feature documentaries and I'm working on a couple more. You just learn more and more with each film.
How do you get ideas for your films?
I listen to the cues of life when making films. I think the best stories come from within, so I'll often incorporate myself into a story I'm trying to make. For example, in Where the Yellowstone Goes, I had recently moved to Bozeman, Montana and was enthralled with the landscape and the rivers, so when a buddy mentioned his idea of floating the entire Yellowstone, I knew it would be a good story. I felt to really tell the story in a way the audience would feel immersed, I'd need to spend as much time on the river as possible. Also, as we travel with a film, many new ideas are presented to us by others and it often helps us come up with a new idea.
How much time do you spend on each film, on average?
The entire process for shooting and releasing a documentary film is about two years. I usually try to get pre-production (planning and developing), production (filming), and post production (editing, graphics and music) done within a year and then we'll go into a year of releasing and marketing a film. It's intense when you get a few films overlapping. Once the two year mark hits, we usually just let the film go and hopefully it develops a life of its own.
What is the most difficult part of making these films?
The most difficult part of my career is how all-consuming it is. My career is my life and they intermix, which is also something I love at times. But to make compelling films in this day and age and then to find audiences really takes a huge amount of time. That's why I'm coming to Salt Lake City. I travel with my films and love to share them with audiences that I know will get them, but it does take a lot of energy. The cool thing is when you connect with people, they remember it and follow your progress. The easiest part has to be the smiles I form from being in unique places and meeting amazing people that make up this world. I also enjoy hearing the feedback from making films. It means a lot when you can inspire people to live a better life.
What inspired Where the Yellowstone Goes?
The river is incredible. It's the longest undammed river in the lower 48 and to learn that we could float a majority of the river and see what a natural, free-flowing river feels like got me excited. I knew this story would uncover intimate, special moments with some very wonderful people too, and those are packed into this film. After completing filming, I was even more excited to edit this story and share it. It ends up being a story about life and love. We're all going through life together and this is our moment to make the impact we'll make. Being on the Yellowstone for 31 days teaches you a lot about that.
Are you willing to spill a few of your ideas for future films?
Sure! My wife and I actually started working on a film before Where the Yellowstone Goes about the world's oldest people called WALTER. We've spent time with the very oldest and learned lessons from them that we can't wait to share. That should be coming out later this year. Also, Trout Headwaters saw the impact Where the Yellowstone Goes was having and has agreed to be presenting sponsor on three more river films. We just started shooting a film on the Potomac River in the Washington, D.C. area.

Disappointed that the hanging wire came apart in the middle of the night and the map came crashing down!!! Better quality ALSO should include the hanging wire for the product.

What caused this?
It isn't realistic in anyway i could understand if i had fielded all those players who were tired and not match fit.
I know this is a heated subject but 5 injuries is just not realistic
There goes my title challenge.

Who did you play against? Stoke? While it's uncommon, it's possible if the other team plays rough football.
Or if the players were bordering on poor fitness.

Playing as Stade Rennais and was against OM.
Players were all great condition/match fit.
They are all out from anything between 3 weeks-2 months.
Just totally wrecked my team.
I get the same. It's like the match engine picks my players that get injured based on average rating/value
None of the under performers or cheap players ever get injured. Just my top players/earners.
Very aggravating.
What were the injuries? If it's things like broken bones etc, then being 100% fit would have no bearing on it at all.
It's not realistic, just a rotten piece of bad luck. Could happen irl too though ... that wouldn't be realistic either, but it could ... and probably has.
What caused this?
Congratulations. You've likely been struck by the Poisson Distribution and, yes, that is realistic. Bad luck, certainly, but realistic.
Also, bear in mind that there are more people playing FM than there are managers managing football teams.
Something that may only happen to a real life football team once every few years will happen to some poor sod playing FM at least once every year.
Sometimes you just gotta sit back and give that cleverclogs Murphy some credit.
injuries? nightmare now.
one striker to cup of nations
one injured
then another out with flu
one long term injured
great.. down to a winger and newgens thanks lol
You'll get the same responses from people who defend the injury frequency but IMO there are far too many! Every game for me.
5 injuries in one game is no less realistic than zero injuries in 1 game.
Yup, happened to me in 2018 World Cup on Brazil. In the quarter and semi-finals, had around 8 injuries, mostly keyplayers... In the final, there was only 2 GKs and a defender in the bench LOL, and a striker playing as a left back... needless to say got destroyed at the final by england.
There's no coincidence that since the latest update injuries have been happening left, right and centre Just need to hope you've got a big enough squad to deal with it until it's fixed!
What do you base that rather categorically stated assumption on?
the only think i can think that would cause injuries to go up with the latest patch is the 'jaded' status working. this may cause injuries to temporarily go up. personally, i'm not having any major problems with injuries. the odd player getting injuried for a week or two. maybe one that gets out for 3months. not bad.
I can't say I have noticed any worse (more) injuries since the patch - quite the contrary; I used to have RVP and Gervinho out with injuries at least half of the season; now they have stayed fit for a whole season, Amazing.
But btw; why should a jaded player be more prone to injury? What is the logic behind that?

I remember seeing Coventry lose 3 players to injury all in the first half IRL, but 5 in a game seems excessive. Injuries occur far too frequently, especially ones in the first half.
Too many recurring injuries, the game is broken and it's ruining my save as I have a small squad. This most definitely isn't realistic, it wasn't a problem before the update.
Uhm ... you have a small squad, so when you get some players injured, you feel that the game is broken, because you can't cope ... with injuries in a small squad? What's wrong with this picture ...
Come on. When you have a too small squad, you should EXPECT to get in trouble when you get a lot of simultaneous injuries in your squad. This is, along with jadedness occuring from too little rotation, exactly the type of problems you SHOULD have. It's the negatives with having a small squad. It's realistic.

There's definitely more injuries, post patch. I've got a squad of 22 players, two for each position and rotate regularly. I never play anyone below 95% and very rarely play anyone below 100% but I'm still getting regular injuries. A lot more than I used to.
I haven't noticed any significant increase in injuries. I usually have minimum of 2 injured almost always and up to 7 in the worst case. The game generally doesn't let you have more than 7 injured players at once (which I think is unrealistic). If you have 7 or 8 injured players, your other plays won't get injured even if their condition is down to 20%. They still can get injured during matches, but it will only be temporary and they will be right back after match.
There is a problem.
In my first team and reserves, i had 8 strikers. 6 got injured, 1 got suspended and 1 was fine. But 16 years old.
And its not "niggles"... Its torn ham-strings, broken feet and legs!
And what makes it worse is that normally the players stats decrease!!
Well, it's not a problem in any long term games. At least, it wasn't for me. I generally scrap players and replace them over 2 or 3 seasons anyway. And the first thing I look at prior signing players is taking a look at their injury history. It doesn't matter how good they are if their injury proneness is high. I don't want glass cannons.
There's no need to patronize me either.

I don't seem to be getting any more or less injuries with the current patch then I did eariler.
As for it being realistic - if you roll ten dice all together, it is as likely that you will roll ten sixes, as it is for you to roll any other combination.
Regarding recurring injuries: check out Arsenal right now in the real football world.
I've never had a problem with injuries in any version of the game, playing at every level from Indonesian 2nd Tier to Champions League contender. So much so that I use a mod that increases the variety and frequencies of injuries in my game and still have never had a problem!
It's just bad luck. SI have stated before that they test injury frequencies regularly and compared to real life the rate at which players get injured is actually generous, not the other way around. Certainly my own experience testifies to this. Unless you have statistical evidence to back your claims that injuries occur to often then I'm afraid that I for one won't believe you.
it is bad luck that needs some sort of balance, i can't afford to have 6 or 7 strikers, 10 midfielders and 10 defenders. some of us with weaker teams can't physically buy the quality or get it moved up.
do i have to get a screenshot of my INJ players, i have even had newgens injured and ruined already.
Oh look. One of my main player just got injured. Again. 2-3 months.
yea same, up to 2 months... just as they get back from the african cup of nations as well.
When you are stating something like it's a fact, you need to have a base for your argumentation. That you, and some others, are seeing more/worse injuries, is not good enough. If the latest patch has made things worse, it would be worse for the vast majority of gamers - and if we take the forum posts as an indicator (what else do we have to go on, really), this is simply not the case. SOME are complainting, but there seems to be equally many saying that it is not so.
The patch MAY have tweaked injuries a little - I don't know. And if so; in which direction, I don't know. But if it has, in my opinion it has not done so to a degree that the game has become unplayable, or even noticably different.

2009/10 Panini Elite NBA Basketball Set Preview & Review
2009/10 Panini Elite Basketball Set Review
Release Date: 11/25/2009
20 Packs Per Box
5 Cards Per Pack
Pack SRP: $6.00
4 Auto/Jersey Cards Per Box
The card design of the 2009/10 Panini Elite Basketball is very much the same as the Elite Football product. While that is somewhat a bummer, this is one of the lower tier sets of the year. I expect Panini to come through with some big time sets as the NBA season rolls along.
The product does have some nice touches. The Passing the Torch Autograph cards are very unique. Serial numbered to 25 or less, the set pairs up a former player and a current one. Check out some of the names included in the set:
Kobe Bryant & Magic Johnson
Larry Bird & Ray Allen
Del Curry & Stephen Curry
The 40 sticker Autographed Rookies is a nice surprise. The fact that Panini has secured all of these cards is a major plus for the set. Even though #1 Pick Blake Griffin suffered an injury early in the year, other rookies have stepped up in his absence. These cards are serial numbered to 499 or less.

Stands straight next to my desk
Excellent briefcase, perfect weight performance ratio, leather smells great. Subtle purple stitching makes it manly. I chose the Tacconi because I wanted one that would stand up straight next to my desk or seat instead of wimpely slumping, and this has little rubber feet that seemed to indicate it can do so. And it does, with or without a small tablet or laptop inside.
Other briefcases open flat in a TSA approved manner, the Bosca does not, but that was less important to me.
Only disadvantage is that it is not made in the USA, so I gave it four stars instead of the five it would have received otherwise.

UNCTAD's work on harnessing international trade in promoting sustained growth and inclusive development includes as a key aspect, support to developing countries in taking advantages of emerging opportunities for trade associated with the protection, promotion and preservation of the environment and sustainable development objectives generally, while minimizing potential adverse impacts. This work is carried out by the Trade, Environment, Climate Change and Sustainable Development Branch of DITC.
Through research and analysis, intergovernmental deliberations and consensus building, and technical assistance, as well as partnerships and networks with an array of stakeholders, the Branch works to strengthen the capacity of developing countries to formulate and implement mutually supportive trade, environment and sustainable development objectives; integrate sustainable development and poverty reduction objectives in development strategies at all levels, including the need to address climate change implications inter alia by promoting climate-friendly trade and production strategies including in green sectors; and support the effective participation of developing countries in international deliberations on trade and environment.
The main areas of intervention include:
UNCTAD and the Commonwealth Secretariat gather leading experts to discuss options to further advance trade in sustainable fisheries.
Linking organic agriculture and tourism has a significant potential to help reduce poverty in the United Republic of Tanzania, a new UNCTAD report has found.
Trade policies can have an impact on the climate change mitigation efforts of countries, just as policies for addressing climate change can influence trade among countries, says UNCTAD in its latest Policy Brief.

I'm sure many of you have never heard of Boyer's Smoothie, as it's the ignored sibling to the ever popular Mallo Cup. The Smoothie was a creation that Boyer Candy Company made back in the day to ride the popularity of the Mallo Cup. It's a unique candy, as it's made of a smooth peanut butter center covered with butterscotch coating.
I was lucky to find a package of Smoothies in a random gas station in Upstate New York on my way to visit my parents. The package is so very dated in it's design with almost garish colors and bland font. For some reason I find it terribly appealing, because it reminds me of a time when the flavor of a candy was it's selling point. Not the package design and marketing campaigns.
Opening the package reveals the two cups, same format as Mallo Cup. They're yellowish brown in color and I'm reminded of those horrid Reeses' Inside Out Peanut Butter Cups that came out a few years ago. The Smoothie also comes with those cute cardboard money cards you can collect and save up for prizes. I'm still saving mine up.
The butterscotch is very sweet with that strong buttery flavor. The texture a little greasy and therefore slick on the tongue. Like the Mallo Cup it has a bit of texture, but instead of bits of coconut there's small chopped chunks of peanuts layered in the coating on the top. If I had to liken the taste to something else, I'd say that these tasted like Reese's Pieces if they were in cup form. I was disappointed with the flavor a little as it's hard to taste where the butterscotch flavor ends and the peanut butter flavor begins, and vise versa. Last time I ate one of each they tasted very different, so I was of let down by this. Texture was the only tell tale sign I was eating one or the other.
Despite the faults I find with Smoothie, I still liked it. I can't really explain it, but something about it appeals to me. It's not something I'd eat regularly, though.

I am traveling from Singapore to San Francisco and an airline which I am choosing has a layover of 7.5 hours at Tokyo Airport (NRT). I am wondering if I would be allowed to go out to experience the city for a while in some form a visitor visa. I know, Singapore has such facilities, but does anyone know if I can do something similar in Tokyo? Any suggestions or pointers are welcome. Note - I do not have a visa for Japan yet, but I am hoping that 1 day visitor visa could be possible at airport.
For the visa part, the rules are (from Timaticweb):
Under those rules, you should be able to obtain a transit pass on arrival at Narita and venture out of the airport.
I'm not sure about the visa part, but about the time:
By the cheapest train I seem to recall Narita airport is about two hours from Tokyo. Also you might well have to be back at the airport at least one hour before boarding, and quite possibly more. And the train system in Japan is notoriously complex. It will be very easy to get a bit lost and miss your flight in Tokyo (I've done it once) and it will be very expensive to just take a taxi the whole way to the airport from Tokyo. You might consider renting a car, but you'll have to make sure you've prepared in advance because even with English on all road signs, Japanese place names etc can be a bit bewildering when you're not used to it.
If you just want to dip into Japanese culture though, don't worry because Narita has quite a bit to offer for an airport city. It's very compact, hard to get lost in, and close to the airport so even if you have to take a taxi it won't be too expensive. It's a fairly typical little Japanese city with lots of small shops, food, parks, a calligraphy museum, and a temple that is at least a thousand years old.
My first two times in Japan I had only 24 hours in Narita between flights and I enjoyed it very much.
Many visitors in your situation find their time in Tokyo quite disappointing. Tokyo is far from Narita*, confusing, and crowded. The best sights in Tokyo are the temples, but there is a superb temple complex in Narita city. Stay in Narita.
*This should improve when the new train line is completed.

International Movement ATD Fourth World
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: International Movement ATD Fourth World
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionNovember 2011 Contribution by the International Movement ATD Fourth World to the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development zero draft outcome document. Eradicating extreme poverty is a necessary condition for the realization of sustainable development. For this to be possible, the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development must be fully integrated and treated with equal importance in programming and delivery. It is within this context that the International Movement ATD Fourth World proposes that the outcome document of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development contain the following elements: 1- Outcomes from the Conference should be based on internationally agreed human rights principles and standards. The work of the Human Rights Council in developing Guiding Principles on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights provides a useful reference in developing a human-rights based approach to sustainable development and poverty eradication. A rights-based approach will ensure the following: ? Specific attention is given to the poorest and most vulnerable people who have been historically, and remain at present, most affected by both environmental degradation, and social and economic exclusion. Proposals on environmental protection, climate change mitigation and adaptation and economic transition should include mechanisms to ensure that benefits reach people living in extreme poverty. This should include guaranteeing a social protection floor which enables universal access to social, economic and cultural rights. ? All sectors of society are able to participate in the planning, implementation and assessment of sustainable development policies and programs, including people living in extreme poverty. This requires relevant decision-making bodies at all levels to establish specific mechanisms and institutional arrangements through which persons living in extreme poverty can also effectively and meaningfully participate in all stages of decision-making processes. Obstacles to participation must also be identified and addressed, such as lack of access to relevant and understandable Information and opportunity costs. ? Priority is given to climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies that build on local knowledge and capacities, and empower local communities with the technologies, financial resources and skills required in order for these strategies to be sustainable. To the extent possible, small-scale, inclusively managed projects will be promoted and supported, in order to protect the environment and improve the living conditions of people living in poverty. 2 ? An outcome of the Conference to create Sustainable Development Goals must have at its core the eradication of extreme poverty, in each of the three pillars of a sustainable development: environmental, economic and social. This will ensure complementarity with efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. It will also contribute to the development of a post-2015 development framework that maintains the eradication of extreme poverty as a central aim.

How long does it take to get gas or electric service connected?
Service connection time varies. It may take as little as six weeks or longer from the time you submit your application. The length of time depends on the complexity of your project and number of projects in progress with PG&E.
How long will it take to schedule an initial site visit?
Within three days after you submit your application for gas or electric service, a PG&E representative will contact you to verify the information you have given us and to arrange a site visit, if necessary. Typically the site visit can take place within two weeks.
Do I need to hire a contractor?
Any trenching, plumbing, or electrical service that is required to prepare for your new gas or electric service is your responsibility. You may do this work yourself or hire a licensed contractor.
Do I need any permits?
It is your responsibility to secure any permits your locality requires and to arrange for inspections by municipal offices. PG&E will verify that you have complied with these requirements and may perform additional inspections before connecting your gas or electric service.
Building and renovation projects are subject to many standards. The State of California issues plumbing, electrical, and mechanical codes. Each city and county has its own ordinances. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regulates the installation and delivery of gas and electric services. PG&E will not establish services until gas piping and electric services facilities conform to all of these rules. We impose additional standards so that we may provide safe and reliable power to you and your neighbors.
What is SACAC?
The Statement of Applicant's Contract Anticipated Costs refers to the estimated costs you provide on Form 79-1003, which you must complete and sign when you request service. If you hire a contractor, your contractor should make the cost estimate for you.
Will I need temporary power?
Most likely you will want to request temporary power if you will be doing construction or using electrical equipment at the site before your permanent service is installed. For more information on requesting temporary power refer to the Electric Service Temporary Construction Power Guide (PDF, 117 KB).
To request temporary power, call 1-877-743-7782 or apply online.
How do I determine my gas and electric load requirements?
Many manufacturers include energy usage information in a product's user manuals or on the body of the equipment. Your plumbing, or electrical contractor can help determine these loads.
How do I determine where to place my gas meter?
Hire an experienced plumber to avoid common problems. Your gas meter should be placed outside of the structure in a readily accessible area that is protected from corrosion and other damage such as vandalism. If the meter must be placed close to oncoming vehicle traffic, install the meter as far as possible from the vehicular path or surround it with barrier posts (or "bollards").
The meter may also be placed in a breezeway that is well ventilated with outside air. If possible, one end of the breezeway should open into a large, unobstructed space and the other should include two vents. At minimum, both ends must have vents at top and bottom of the space.
PG&E must approve the placement of your gas meter.
To find preferred gas meter locations refer to the gas service section in PG&E's Greenbook. If you are also requesting an electric service, make sure you have adequate separation between the gas and electric meters.
Will I need to be present when my gas meter is set?
Yes. When PG&E sets the meter, we will check your appliances and light any pilots.
How do I determine where to place my electrical panel?
Hire an experienced electrician to avoid common problems. In areas served by overhead lines, PG&E will install a drop from the distribution point to an attachment point on your property. The drop must meet PG&E specification in several areas, such as clearance from the ground and distance from electric service facilities. If possible, the connecting span should not cross adjacent property. The electrical panel for underground service should be attached to a wall, if possible.
PG&E must approve the locations for all transformers and meters, as well as the sizes, types, and quantities of conduit.
To find preferred electric meter locations refer to PG&E's Greenbook in the following sections:
Will I need to be present when my electric meter is set?
You will not need to be present when your electric meter is set as long as it is accessible to our crews. However, if your panel is energized by jumpers from an old panel, these will need to be removed by a licensed electrician before PG&E can set the meter.
Will I need to excavate a trench? What are the requirements?
Hire an experienced trenching contractor to avoid common problems. See the Getting Started Guide for Trenching (PDF, 116 KB) for more details.
My trench has been completed. How do I get it inspected?
When you are ready for your trench to be inspected, contact the local trench inspection desk to schedule an appointment with the PG&E inspector. Your PG&E representative will provide the number for the trench inspection desk. You must be present for the appointment. The inspector will provide you or your trenching contractor with the results at that time, and let you know what (if any) additional work is needed.
What forms of payment do you accept?
You may pay PG&E with check, cashier's check, or money order.
Can I make installment payments when I receive my bill for the construction services?
PG&E requires payment in full before beginning construction or installing a meter.
What is the ITCC tax?
The Income Tax Component of Contribution (ITCC) was established as part of the 1986 Federal Tax Reform Act. It requires the payment of tax on the advance payment collected for installing facilities. PG&E collects this tax in accordance with guidelines established by the California Public Utilities Commission.

Where can I buy food in bulk? Items like rice, beans, canned vegetables, flour, Mre's etc.
Years ago you could get things from the cannery in Newport TN, Tomatoes from Canton, NC, peaches from SC, potatoes from Hendersonville NC, apples from Waynesville NC. Does anybody know if these places are still in business? Trying to build up a food stockpile and I just can't afford the expensive internet stores. I want to be sure I can eat when the economy goes south. Too late. Ok I want to get some food stored before a loaf of bread cost a days wages.

GENERIC NAME: acetaminophen
BRAND NAME: Tylenol, Tylenol Arthritis Pain, Tylenol Ext, Little Fevers Children's Fever/Pain Reliever, Little Fevers Infant Fever/Pain Reliever, PediaCare Single Dose Acetaminophen Fever Reducer/Pain Reliever, and others
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Acetaminophen belongs to a class of drugs called analgesics (pain relievers) and antipyretics (fever reducers). The exact mechanism of action of acetaminophen is not known. It may reduce the production of prostaglandins in the brain. Prostaglandins are chemicals that cause inflammation and swelling. Acetaminophen relieves pain by elevating the pain threshold, that is, by requiring a greater amount of pain to develop before a person feels it. It reduces fever through its action on the heat-regulating center of the brain. Specifically, it tells the center to lower the body's temperature when the temperature is elevated. The FDA approved acetaminophen in 1951.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Acetaminophen is used for the relief of fever as well as aches and pains associated with many conditions. Acetaminophen relieves pain in mild arthritis but has no effect on the underlying inflammation, redness, and swelling of the joint. If the pain is not due to inflammation, acetaminophen is as effective as aspirin. It is as effective as the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen (Motrin) in relieving the pain of osteoarthritis of the knee. Unless directed by a physician, acetaminophen should not be used for longer than 10 days.

Lashed by frigid rain, two hikers, wrapped in thick parkas and carrying heavy packs, stopped abruptly on their trek across the glacial ice of Mount Sanford, Alaska. "Oh my God," the first man said, looking down at the rock-strewn ice before him. His friend caught up, and then he stared in horror too. A perfectly preserved human arm poked out of the ice, the alabaster hand pointing north by northwest.
It was July 1999, and the hikers were pilots who had made several trips to the icy Alaskan mountainside in an attempt to solve the puzzle of Northwest Airlines Flight 4422, one of the most mysterious crashes in commercial-aviation history. After taking off from Anchorage on a clear night in March 1948, the chartered DC-4 had slammed into the western face of a 16,000-foot peak, burst into flames and plummeted down the mountain's icy flank, breaking into pieces on the glacier. The 24 passengers—all merchant mariners who had sailed an oil tanker from the U.S. to Shanghai and were on their way to New York—were presumed dead, along with six crew members. Legend had it that the plane was carrying gold bullion. But within days of the crash, snow and ice had completely covered the wreckage. For more than 50 years, the mountain kept the plane's secret.
Until now.
The frozen arm had no tattoos, no rings, no identifying marks of any kind. Some family members of the missing had been waiting for closure on this accident for decades, and everyone wanted to know: Whose arm was it?
In 2007, when the mystery still hadn't been solved, the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory contacted Colleen Fitzpatrick, a nuclear physicist who was building a new career as a forensic genealogist, tracking missing people through vital records, family history and DNA. If anyone could help break the mysterious Arm in the Snow case, it was Fitzpatrick.
At five feet two inches tall, with tousled curls and rimless eyeglasses, Fitzpatrick emanates laser-sharp intelligence and unselfconscious warmth. She favors hugs, not handshakes, and her preferred work clothes are jeans rolled up at the ankle, scuffed black slip-ons and little makeup. In the Huntington Beach, California, house she shares with her partner, Andy Yeiser, Fitzpatrick keeps a decades-old pet African tortoise named Thing Three (after a character in the Dr. Seuss book The Cat in the Hat), who will daintily take a pink hibiscus blossom from your hand and eat it, and a California desert tortoise dubbed Thing Four. She swings her pet parrot, Sikiru, to sleep every night after feeding it a snack of M&M's.
Her personal habits may be eccentric, but Fitzpatrick's methodical, unyielding style of work has allowed her to build a reputation as one of the best DNA detectives in the country. She combines high-tech DNA analysis with the skills of an old-fashioned gumshoe, combing birth and death certificates, newspaper articles and church and cemetery records—and making calls to distant continents far into the night. Since switching professions in 2005, she has solved a variety of cases, from helping identify the remains of a baby who died in 1912 to locating owners of unclaimed property. "I can usually find anyone around the world in two steps," she boasts today. But when the Arm in the Snow mystery landed on her desk, it was by far her most complex case.
Fitzpatrick never set out to be a DNA detective, but she's always had a passion for science. As a kid in New Orleans, she was the classic high school geek, more interested in preparing an optical-illusion project for the science fair than in finding a date for the senior prom. "I wasn't Miss Popular," she says. "I pretty much was the science club."
She got her PhD in nuclear physics from Duke University in 1983, then taught at Sam Houston State University in Texas before moving to California to work for a defense firm. In 1989 she started her own optics company in her garage. The company flourished, and she hired seven scientists to help her develop and test a range of products, from medical devices to laser measurement equipment for NASA.
Fitzpatrick loved her lab, with its shiny steel optical table and various lasers, mirrors and lenses. She enjoyed sending beams of light dancing across the table to test the hermetic seals on pacemakers. But most of all, she loved the people. "They were like me: academics, scientists, always looking for new ideas, interested in art, literature, the humanities and travel," she says.
With these friends, Fitzpatrick pursued numerous eclectic interests. They packed up telescopes and traveled around the globe to six solar eclipses. She was a contestant on Jeopardy!, where she nailed the science questions but finished second to a shirt salesman who beat her on French literature. She took knife-throwing lessons from the Great Throwdini and studied Japanese to add to the foreign languages she already spoke fluently: French, German and Spanish. (She's also conversant in Italian, Russian and Chinese and says she can "limp along" in Swedish, Portuguese and Dutch.)
In 2005 her company seemed to be on the brink of a big break. "We were named to a team designing the next spacecraft to Jupiter," she says. "I was in a position to be the technical manager for all the environmental sensors on the flight." Then NASA shifted priorities and canceled the Jupiter project. The loss of the contract, along with other setbacks, forced Fitzpatrick to close the company and sell some of her equipment.
"It was pretty rough," she recalls. "That company was my baby."
Discouraged, she kept asking herself, What could I have done differently? She spent her days moping. "I didn't go to the lab," she says. "I just stayed home. I felt in despair."
"She'd yell at me," says Yeiser, a retired physicist and computer engineer who has always been her emotional bulwark.
The bad times got worse. Fitzpatrick's best friend died of breast cancer. Her scientist colleagues moved on to other jobs. "There were many days when I felt like the center of my life was gone," she says. "I cried a lot. I felt embarrassed among my peers. When you fail, everyone looks at your flaws."
Fitzpatrick had one island of sanity, though: During her years in the lab, she had dabbled in genealogy, which has interested her ever since she was a child. At 13, she'd found a yellowing marriage certificate in her grandmother's house and eventually traced her family's roots to a 17th-century French village. In 2002, in her spare time, she began work on a book, Forensic Genealogy, and was thrilled when a publisher offered her a contract. The book "was my sedative," she says. A 220-page guide for professionals and amateurs, it explained how to examine old photographs and documents and use public records and DNA databases to trace family history.
When Fitzpatrick's manuscript was ready for publication, "the publisher decided that forensic genealogy was passé," she says. The company canceled the contract, and Fitzpatrick fell back into a depression.
Yeiser didn't let her dwell on it. "Let's just publish it ourselves," he said.
They researched different papers, inks and distributors and hired a printer. Then they dug into their savings, investing $3,500 to print 500 copies of Forensic Genealogy. Fitzpatrick promoted the book at a genealogy conference in Maine. Sitting at a booth in a convention hall crammed with displays for family tree software, cemetery-database CDs, maps and photo-repair services, she thought, I'm wasting my time; nobody's going to buy my book. Suddenly a man stopped, thumbed through a copy and got out his wallet. Fitzpatrick tried to stay calm, but she was ecstatic. She wrote inside the front cover, "This is the first book I ever sold! Colleen Fitzpatrick."
By the end of the conference, she'd found 35 buyers and pocketed $1,000.
After that, her new career took off. She set up forensicgenealogy.info, which now gets hundreds of hits a day, and began tracking down missing heirs and owners for an international investment company that specialized in unclaimed property. She wrote a column for Ancestry magazine, as well as articles for Family Chronicle and Games, and created a weekly forensic photo puzzle for her Web site. She launched a second site, identifinders.com, to promote her business of tracking down missing persons. Her book went into a second and then a third printing, and she wrote and published two more, one of which was funded by a DNA-testing company. She accepted invitations to speak at science, history and genealogy conferences and gradually patched together a living from book sales, speeches and the unclaimed-property work.
The process of tracking down a person's identity is like being caught in a "tractor beam," she says. "I'm compelled, almost addicted to it. I pick up the thread, and I've got to follow it." By 2007 she had tracked down more than 80 people around the globe who owned unclaimed property, and had helped identify the remains of the Unknown Child of the Titanic, a 19-month-old boy whose body was recovered from the sunken ship. But nothing proved to be as challenging as the Arm in the Snow case.
The Armed Forces lab had access to the DNA sample from the frozen limb, but DNA means nothing unless you can compare it with a living relative's. So Fitzpatrick worked with other scientists to track down as many descendants of the victims of the Northwest Airlines flight as possible. Independent fingerprint experts also worked on the case, and six months later, the team had eliminated 28 of the 30 people on board the doomed plane. That meant the arm could have belonged to either of two remaining passengers. One of them was Frank Van Zandt, a merchant mariner from Bennington, Vermont.
"I turned over every piece of paper in the state of Vermont," Fitzpatrick recalls. "I checked census records, obituaries, newspaper stories. I looked up city directories in Bennington-Arlington. I called all the churches, searching for marriage records, burial records, baptismal registries, First Communions."
Then she found a marriage certificate for Van Zandt's brother, which said his mother, Margaret Conway, was born in 1876 in "Timerick," Ireland. Figuring this referred to Limerick, Fitzpatrick pored over the Irish birth registration and found records for all the Margaret Conways born from 1872 to 1876. Still nothing.
In bed at night, she kept going over it in her mind: Where is this woman?
Like any good detective, Fitzpatrick relies on intuition as well as shoe leather. After weeks of dead ends, she suddenly had a hunch: What if Conway had lied about her age? Checking earlier dates, she finally found a birth record for a Margaret Conway born in 1871 to John Conway and Ellen Drum.
The name Drum was extinct in the areas around Limerick, so Fitzpatrick started calling Conways, asking, "Are you related to a family named Drum?" Scores of calls later, she telephoned an elderly machine oiler named Maurice Conway in the village of Askeaton.
"I'm trying to identify the remains of a serviceman . . . " This time there was silence on the line. Then Conway's voice replied in a thick Irish accent, "Could you call me back tomorrow?" The next day, the man told her that the Conway cemetery was across from his house and that he'd found a tombstone there dedicated by John Conway to the memory of his wife, Ellen. "The family information on the stone matched everything we knew about the Conways," says Fitzpatrick. Ellen was Maurice's great-great-grandmother's sister. She was also Frank Van Zandt's grandmother.
"Maurice," Fitzpatrick said with a sigh, "I've been looking for you all over the world."
A few weeks later, a DNA test on Maurice Conway confirmed the link. The arm belonged to Van Zandt. Fitzpatrick cries when she tells the story. "Frank Van Zandt was a serviceman, a real hero," she says.
"A lot of people would have given up," says Mike Coble, research director of the Armed Forces lab. But Fitzpatrick, he says, was "relentless."
Independent fingerprint experts had concurrently identified the frozen arm, but for Fitzpatrick, this wasn't just about solving a case; she wanted to establish a human connection. In 2008 she visited Ireland and stood at the memorial to Frank Van Zandt's grandmother. "All the spirits, the ghosts were standing there with me. They said, 'It's over. You can go home.' And they all breathed one big sigh," she says.
Since then, Fitzpatrick has become a star in the small field of forensic genealogy, often taking on higher-profile cases pro bono. "It's not lucrative," she says, "but satisfying." She traced a man who had fled to Australia after his involvement with the 1920s Teapot Dome bribery scandal that swirled around President Warren G. Harding, and she assisted in uncovering two literary hoaxes connected with the Holocaust. She is currently investigating the identity of a man with amnesia who was found beaten and naked next to a Dumpster behind a Georgia Burger King in 2004. She is also one of a team of scientists investigating clandestine graves at crime sites, including the ranch of the notorious killer Charles Manson.
What Fitzpatrick values even more than the science, though, is another aspect of her work: It allows her to glimpse both the physical and the spiritual link between all humans. "To see the hand in the snow and know he's connected to someone is the reward," she says. "You're solving a human mystery, and humans are the ultimate mystery."

Dealer says I cooked my YH-J70. Is he right?
I wrote this:
Unfortunately, the hard disk has stopped working all of a sudden yesterday. I was listening to an MP3 file, did something else for some minutes and when I turned the player on again it only showed the message "Please format your HDD" and then turned off. I have not been successful at trying to connect the player to my PC, given that the player constantly turns off automatically. I have also tried every possible way of turning the device on like keeping buttons pushed etc., without success. The device carried some 13 GB and had worked correctly until yesterday.
Please note that, given the short battery duration of this kind of Samsung players, I decided to use the device exclusively at my office with the wall charger, hence I have not carried it around with me, for which I can exclude the possibility of the device having suffered any damage whatsoever. As I see the time lapse between working well and starting to have errors was a question of minutes.
The dealer replied this:
"What you're experiencing in your Samsung is a power failure... the symptoms you have described, most expecially "I have not been successful at trying to connect the player to my PC, given that the player constantly turns off automatically". This is direct evidence of a power failure, and there's no possibility the drive could be the
cause of what you are experiencing.
I realize that you are using your charger plugged into the wall, but the voltage still flows through the battery voltage channel whether you're going portable or hardwired to the wall. If your battery has exceeded its useful life, and/or has surpassed the 70% battery memory threshhold, there's no way your MP3 player will powerup.
Furthermore, if you have not had the MP3 player on a surge
protector, it could already be damaged beyond further use without replacing the logic board, as the voltage regulator within is more than likely "cooked"."
The battery is new and I never left the player plugged in over night or so.
Is the dealer right? Anyone experienced the same problem?
|[Remove Advertisement]
Haven't experienced anything like this myself and they may be right. However even if a battery in an MP3 is broken it should still be able to power on if it is connected to a power source like a wall charger or computer. A component on the circuit board may well have gone though. Sorry but you'll have to wait for someone wit a bit more knowledge to come along.
Creative Zen Vision:M--->30GB100GB Finally Died :'(

lol at my sig and avatar. my ZVM seems so long ago...
What bothers me about this is the fact that the dealer is adamant about blaming it on you and the power source by using the words: "there's no possibility the drive could be the cause". There is a very good possibility it is the drive- this was a very common issue with HDD based players from around those years they were manufactured. From my experience i would say its more likely the HDD, but i cannot say with 100% certainty. Sounds to me like the dealer is trying to weasle out of replacing your player. -but that all depends too on what the warranty is and how long ago you purchased it.

A sentence that contains every word in the alphabet. When selecting a font in Windows, Microsoft uses it so you can see every example of a letter being used instead of using ABCDEFG... they use The quick brown fox jumpes over the lazy dog.
I'm going to check out a new font I installed on Windows. "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog". Oh, that's how the font looks like on each letter.

i say fuck everyone who tries to go all 'its all opinions!' is a political etc debate. that shit might work with television or music or whatever but i actually take political opinions seriously because they drastically effect how people live. im not going to say 'well you're entitled to your opinion' to someone saying that gay marriage will destroy the "western family" because that kind of thinking is detrimental to society. i won't 'agree to disagree' with someone who says that poor inner-city blacks are poor because of personal responsibility rather than our racist culture, because that is an injustice i can't tolerate. im not saying my opinion can't be changed, because my opinion changes all the time when new information or compelling arguments are presented(im sure some old posts in this forum can clearly demonstrate that), but there are opinions out there that are just plain wrong(like thinking ronald reagan was a good president) and can't just be written off as 'OPINIONS!' if you actually care about shit.
this is in regards to debates so yes it belongs in the debate forum

|Lavarias, Farquhar honored
University of Idaho senior defensive end Aaron Lavarias and sophomore kicker Trey Farquhar were honored Monday as the Western Athletic Conference's defensive and special teams players of the week.
Lavarias earned the award after three tackles-for-loss, which includes one sack and totaled 18 yards in losses, in addition to forcing one fumble (which the Vandals recovered), recording a quarterback hurry, and tallying four tackles (three of which were solo stops).
Farquhar was good on all three of his field goal attempts, which includes a 50-yarder, and booted every kickoff into the endzone to average 70 yards per kick. His 50-yard field goal ties for the longest in the WAC this fall and 13th longest in the NCAA. It is the third longest in Idaho history.
In addition to the WAC award, Farquhar was one of three kickers nationwide to be spotlighted by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission, which annually awards the Lou Groza Award to the nation's top placekicker. He also earned honorable mention recognition from College Football Performance Awards.

A fan's open letter: Thank you 2010-11 Miami Heat
Sometimes you need to take a deep breath, exhale, appreciate the moment, even if it isn't the moment you wanted or expected.
It hasn't been easy today. But there are those able to put the bile and vitriol aside.
The Monday mailbag offered one prime example.
So at a time when criticism, condemnation and contempt rule, we pass along one fan's open letter that was sent this direction this afternoon.
It not only is well phrased, more significantly it shows that there are true fans in South Florida, a hearty, loyal, passionate group that all too often gets overshadowed by the naysayers and frontrunners.
"To the Miami Heat, Thank You
"Everyone in Miami today has something to say about the season that ended last night, and people are rightfully disappointed, stunned, frustrated, with how a series that began with so much promise ended with so much heartache last night. But something people should be saying — if not today, then certainly tomorrow, and again and again this summer and fall — is thank you.
"Thank you to Micky Arison, Pat Riley, and the Heat organization, for giving us a championship contender ready to contend again next year and for years to come. For rebuilding this team time and time again, and giving this football town a basketball team and organization that we have learned to love.
"Thank you to Dwyane Wade. The city's heart and a player that has captured our imagination like no one has or could. Standing 6-3 going on 7-0 most nights, from the crossover in Philadelphia in your first game to the shot over Baron Davis in your first playoff game to the 30- and 40-point games in your first NBA Finals, you've amazed so many times already, with so many times more to come.
"Thank you to Chris Bosh. Lost in all of the story lines and media hype over the last two months, the power forward who had never had an extended playoff run played like the All-Star he is, against Brand, against Garnett, against Boozer, and against Dirk. You didn't need to prove you belonged, but you did anyway.
"Thank you to Udonis Haslem. For taking the floor in the middle of the Eastern Conference Finals after not having stepped on the floor since November, and then playing like were never gone. And really, you never were. When Heat fans look back on these playoffs, there may be some regret, sure, but there would have been so much more had we gone on this journey without you.
"Thank you to Mario Chalmers, to Mike Miller, to Mike Bibby and Joel Anthony and James Jones and our much-maligned "supporting cast." The national media line was that you would be our downfall, but you were steady and unrelenting, and you carried us through some of our toughest moments. The reality of the NBA and the financial rewards that you will be offered (and that you so fully deserve) is that some of you may not be back, but thank you for an incredible run.
"And thank you, thank you, thank you, to LeBron James. Thank you for sharing your career — which has been and will continue to be, for at least the next ten years, the most anticipated and scrutinized, analyzed and criticized career, in decades, and maybe ever, in the NBA — with us. Heat fans are what we are — we are a young fan base, a growing fan base, a proud fan base, and to be perfectly frank, I'm not sure we deserved you. I think of the crowds you left in Cleveland, the crowds that were waiting for you in Chicago and New York, and you chose us. We are always going to want more from you — fans always do — but last July, you gave us the promise of everything, and as Heat fans over the next few days reflect on what happened over the last eight months, they'll realize that you've already started to deliver on that promise.
"Last night I walked out of my seat and towards the exit with about 45 seconds left in the game. I didn't want to see the Mavericks celebrate on our court, didn't want to remember the season that way. But when I woke up this morning I started thinking about the way that the Oklahoma City Thunder fans gave their young team a standing applause when they lost to the Lakers two years ago. Incredibly, this year, even with the increased expectations and dreams of their first Finals appearance, the Thunder fans did it again after they lost a disappointing series to the Mavericks. I started thinking about that, and felt ashamed that I had left early. I owe you my thanks and applause. This city does too."
Ian Ross, Miami

Should North Dakota strengthen its penalties for petition fraud?
disgusted, I agree with this latest post of yours, to contact legislators in regards to important issues. (I've done it before.)
Otherwise, one's viewpoint is virtual hot air on the MDN.
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Veratis, I do believe that our legislators have cajones only as strong or as moral as the voters who speak out. I would hope that you have contacted your legislators to vote in favor of HB1397 which will make those guilty of fraudulent petitions face the penalty of a class C felony. And with hopes just as strong I hope you have contacted your leislators and asked them to vote AGAINST HCR3025 which commends the coach.

Veratis, I think we all agree with you except for your first sentence. That attention and need for a win is limited to Fargo and alum of NDSU. But, yes, it speaks volumes when illegal acts are pushed under the rug and the coach is praised.
