Spent so much time looking around for something to say I almost got first in the next concentrator! :))
In a world where acolytes by the thousands believe St. Elon walks on water and shoots fireballs from his backside, it strikes me as a shock to see SolarCity take something approaching a 50% hit from the high end of its initial target range.
Word on the street is that they can lose 100 million next year so the target price is 35 USD ( ;-p ). They are growing like crazy!
DRich, Some info. here that might be of interest from PrivCo.
That's ignoring that the IRS and the treasury both are having trouble with the numbers that SCTY has given them.
"Connecticut to provide the first real case study for microgrid technology"
"Which state will be next? Any hurricane prone state should be thinking along these lines."
I always find the definition of a microgrid interesting as well. They talk about putting them near hospitals. I know the university/hospital system I work at has their own microgrid/emergency power system. It used to be powered by a coal plant, but now they've switched it over to natural gas. It will be interesting to see if they account for systems like this when they formulate where to put microgrids and how they should be maintained.
A new report just out on how to proved 99.9% of all the energy needed by PJM using renewables. Of course I want to know where they are going to put 3400 offshore wind turbines, 4.25 million rooftop solar installations, and how the cost of wind and solar is magically going to half between now and 2030, but those are just pesky details. Oh, and of course, the only reason the money works out is because everyone is going to pay less in healthcare costs from not using fossils fuels, so that is part of the cost calculation. I'm sure in the meantime, the consumers won't mind watching their electric bills skyrocket.
Ah, what you can do with a computer.
:-) Gee, LabT. We owe those study authors a thank you for further enlightening us in the scientific realm. Until reading that article I was not aware that PV and wind turbines generated hydrogen in volume or of the obvious benefits of hydrogen storage to power generators and natural gas end users.

Hello all Axionistas!
A few weeks ago I bagged 5,000 at .2502 and then 3,200 at .25.
PPS should ramp up quickly after an announcement of sales of any of the fine products Axion has to offer.
Edmund, It's a "long" story but mainly I decided to invest in Axion as a direct result of John Petersen's steady, factual reporting.
Too bad I had already invested in ALTI (yeah, it is down 99% for me at this time) but at least John saved me from additional losses in other hyped stocks and got me on the path to redemption.
I was looking for, what I now know as "elephant hunting", a stock that would put me on easy street after losing my job in the "economic downturn" and seeing my IRA reduced by 70%. At my age employment is not so easy to come by and my personality is not suited to working Wal-mart's front door "greeter" position".
Li-ion was in my head as a result of so much hopium being spewed out by newsletters and pump&dump'ers for years. ROC and SQM have doubled in the past few years but seem to be stuck now, as Li is not as great as once believed.
Well, we all know what JP's analysis of EV's with plugs & Li batteries means from a quality investment perspective. However, John stated that of all the hundreds of companies dabbling in EV's around the world that Kandi's patented no plug, fast battery-swap, super cheap ($4500.00) concept for the masses in China seemed to have the best chance of being successful.
Subsequently, I began building a position in KNDI.
There is a group of investors with a forum on Yahoo similar to what Axion has in the APC (nowhere near as technically savvy, or funny).
At this time I also started reading John's earlier articles. Closest thing to a revelation I have ever had! I became a follower, one of an already impressive 53,349. Then, I became follower number 159 on the APC which is up to 176 now.
When I first started following, AXPW was stuck at .57, then moved up to .79, but it eventually started falling and when down to .42 I picked up 400 shares, using all my free cash from some dividends. At .37 I convinced my daughter to pick up 3,000 in her Roth. By this time, in the APC's, the news of NS999, BMW, PC at the Navy Yard seemed to predict the eventual huge success of Axion; the PPS dived so I bought shares at .308 and .30. Enter Rosewater and the HUB with millions$ of potential. The PPS dived so I bought more shares at .2502 and .25. Out of nowhere came ePower and Class 8 hybrid trucks with tens or hundreds of millions$ in potential! and APU systems too, woo-hoo! Wowie baby, the PPS finally nudged up a few pennies ... before starting to dive and tempt the bottom feeders. I bought more shares at .29. Yesterday I bought another 5,000 at .28. (I do not want to see a return to .25). It's time to lock up shares in the 'ol sock drawer and keep them off the market.
AXPW is a strange one. The pump&dumpers of hyped stocks drive the prices up with continual hype PR's. But Great news for Axion sees the price go down...go figure. Anyway, I figure Axion is legit due to the lack of continual hype. TG is tending to business and dilligently working to get the PbC battery into several lucrative markets. Any day now a sales contract will be announced and then I won't be crazy anymore, just crazy rich.
I'm holding my 40,400 shares forever and hope to add more.
Many thanks to John Petersen and the many regular Axionistas who post on the APC. I appreciate your sharing of knowledge and due dilligence.
Someday I hope to meet and thank you all personally at the Axionista Grand Ball to celebrate delivery of the one millionth PbC battery!
Thank you John Petersen. Your hope is worth more than all of the hopium.
I know becasue it's based on honest examination of financial statements and cash flows. Your analysis proved accurate for so many drowned companies that once were riding the high waves.
Your track record is good. Your credibility is high. Odds are in your favor.
I hope your gain is in the tens of millions but that will not be as satisfying as being right about Axion Power.
When I make it I plan to travel to Switzerland, Austria, Poland and Germany. Hope to see you there!
Actually I'll be moving back to the States soon because my wife and her partner are preparing to launch a very cool social media company and the investment bankers are insisting that Rachel and her partner both have to live in the same place and that place has to be in the US. The really fun part is I'll just have to be the "Best Husband in a Supporting Role."
I wish you well in that new endeavor.
Hopefully, you will have time to continue posting on the APC and writing fine investment articles.
I owe my lovely wife Rachel a trip to Europe but we can take the long way 'round.
Perhaps we'll connect with you at the next Axion annual meeting.
I earn my daily bread by helping small companies navigate the corporate finance process from start up financing through an IPO or buy-out. This blog has generated more and higher quality business contacts than anything I've ever done. It's also an investment that will stop paying if I stop sharing. So I don't plan to quit anytime soon.
Tesla's millions of electric miles has not been up dated to include Model-S.
According to Tesla's site: The total of 2100+ Roadsters in 31 countries is approaching 30 million miles.
Announced last week:
Chevrolet Volt Miles Driven All-Electrically Now Total More Than 100 Million
Thanks to frequent charging, Volt owners often surpass the EPA estimated 98 MPGe, and each tank of gas in a plug-in Chevy Volt lasts about 900 miles."
I keep an Excel workbook with a page that shows quarterly Roadster deliveries since 2008. I've used the delivery data to estimate the total number of user days for the Roadster fleet and calculate the average mileage per user day. It's a blunt instrument, but it shows that the average Roadster is driven about 14.25 miles per day.

Just read this white paper from Trojan Battery about selecting the correct battery for the heavy demand of the battery APU units. I believe the NITE systems recommend using the Trojan Overdrive batteries. This report shows that the Overdrive battery falls to 50% after 340 cycles and that beats out the competition by a measurable amount!
Note that the PBC is not included in the comparison chart!
I noticed the claimed APU discharge depth is only 20% (from 80% to 100%). And they rate their batteries, Cycle Life at 50% DOD: 800 cycles. Therefore their batteries though not as good as PbC could do the job at least for a while. IIRC, Tim mentioned premium AGM could last 3 or 4 years as APU.
The main killer of batteries in a truck is over and under charging.
Not sure if this was previously posted.
•General Electric has opened a factory to make a new battery based on two-decades-old nickel-sodium-chloride chemistry
•Pittsburgh-based Aquion Energy is close to starting large-scale manufacture of sodium-ion batteries
•Axion Power from Delaware is combining lead-acid battery chemistry with electrochemical capacitors to create hybrid devices that quickly absorb and release charge
•Even flow batteries, a decades-old technology, are seeing a comeback

My latest article was just chose as an Editors Pick:
The great thing about being active in these Concentrators and turning the comment sections of my articles into discussions is that it helps me understand where people "get it" and where they're confused.
The fundamental problem is that storage has always been a sleepy backwater that produced commodity products that everybody needed and hated. One of my favorite quips is, "the adjective most commonly associated with the word battery is damned."
I agree this is an excellent article. Well done. My only suggestion would be to mention the Ultrabattery so as to avoid criticism from those who might say you are failing to include all the competition, though I know you mentioned it in a way when you said two batteries are using lead carbon, but only one has an investment option as a public company. Again, some of your work. Thanks for writing it.
The graphic came from an Ultrabattery presentation and I included it in my Lead-acid 3.0 classification. The limited information I have shows that Ultrabattery performance falls somewhere between a conventional AGM battery and an AGM battery paired with a 2,400 farad supercapacitor from Maxwell. I already know that the AGM-Maxwell solution only addresses 10% of the problem and without better data I don't want to publicly pan the Ultrabattery so its better to say nothing.
Wide market maker spreads are the surest sign there is of a tightening on the supply side. When market makers know they can buy an unlimited number of shares at $.2899 and resell them at $.2901 they're happy to do so. When they're not sure where the shares are going to come from, they have to widen the spread to cover the risk of going short from time to time.
Electric car batteries may fail earlier than expected - research
As I pointed out above that article title is misleading. They have simply discovered a previously unknown reason for lithium battery failure, not something that suddenly appeared and will now make lithium batteries fail prematurely. This is like saying the discovery of sulfation made lead acid batteries fail prematurely when in fact the knowledge about sulfation lead to discoveries of ways to avoid it, i.e. the PbC.

Muy interesante, wtb.
Some here have speculated about the value of combining battery technologies in a single application. This is an example of that.

Maybe the article should say "Nissan backs down from pure EV fantasy.

Seems like we've read* three or four reports in as many days where Axion gets a mention.
I don't know Metro. I just can't see these bringing as big a grin as your search for your car keys with a dress and boa on. You should have filmed that!
tidbit on particulate exhaust standards:
NanoMarkets Report Says Smart Grids Will Use $6.1 Billion in Electrical Storage Products in 2018
"In 2018, lead-carbon batteries/ultrabatteries will generate around $300 million in revenues."
Nice find, KG. The report is the first I have seen that clearly and unequivocally distinguishes between Axion's PbC and East Penn's Ultrabattery. $300 million for 2018 split between Axion and East Penn is an interesting number, but the only mention of frequency regulation as relevant to supercaps in the final paragraph makes one wonder about the analyst's distribution of demand.
"By 2018, supercaps will generate $1.1 billion in revenues from grid-storage, especially regenerative braking on grid-attached light rail and frequency regulation. Here supercaps can result in a 30% reduction in electrical costs"
PR Newswire (http://s.tt/1wQ58)
It will be interesting to see what the volume looks like on Monday. I'm not entirely sure why but major articles usually have a bigger impact on the second trading day than they do on the day of publication. I think it's just that my stuff is complex and investors who pay attention to my work like to think, ponder and weigh before making a decision.
Class 8 electric trucks
>KentG ... Your link is absolutely not talking about the Axion PbC because it doesn't, even today, qualify as "current and standard technology of lead acid batteries". It is not in any qualifying commercial product. Electric BEV Class 8 trucks I think will be as big a flop as BEV autos. A niche may be found, like freight facility-short hauls, but OTR is environmentally varied, mile intensive & time constrained to make sense for BEV. Class 8 will become electric but HEV.

JRP3: "I agree a long haul pure EV truck makes no sense".
Somebody should tell him (LiFePO4 was invented and reported by Akshaya Padhi of John Goodenough's group at University of Texas at Austin in 1996 as an excellent candidate for the cathode of rechargeable lithium battery that is inexpensive, nontoxic, and environmentally benign.)

Thunder Sky (HKG:0729) files suit against Winston Chung
A little oops perhaps when your customer base is focused on efficiency. That's why I posted the Tesla vs Volt MPGe numbers the other day. It's a marketing tool that can work against you if you're not careful.
I'm going to have to rely on faulty memory for this.
However the weight of the battery is much greater than he guessed. Tesla used to have on it's spec sheet a weight of 1,4??
pounds for what was stated as the 40kWh battery. The Musketeers said it was for the 80kWh battery. If it was the 40kWh battery it would make this worse.
42 % of (I'll use 1,500 # for easy math.) = 423# so a bit under this.
A good bit different than the 100-200 # he guessed.
A few weeks ago the Tesla site went down for a weekend and off and on on other days.
Afterwards the 40kWh version was no longer available in Europe. I'm not sure about Asia/Pacific sites.
Tesla Not Motivated to Sell 40 kWh Model S? Not On Sale In Europe
OTOH It is possible it will be dropped here too.
I believe the 40kWh pack uses less energy dense cells than the larger packs so you can't directly compare weight and energy density. I think vehicle weights had to be very close between the models to avoid extra crash testing expenses. I think the article and comment section laid out a number of plausible reasons for the differences between the 60 and 85kWh versions.
sorry if this was posted I missed it.
Parent site for the prior posted article.
>iindelco ... MRS likes the idea of PHEV or at least think that is the logical way forward. At least one commenter here would not be happy reading that economic metric as being most logical. I do like that someone that actually knows better than I think mixed device installations will be commonplace. Axion may never be used for the bulk of any storage facility but I can see a bright future for the company as the front-end fast response shunt device for a utility. One PC to nine battery equivalent could be worth billions. The same mix could work with transportation if they ever get a properly priced flow device.
>"I know you will be rewarded with the increase in value of your stock"
Thanks guys. At any kind of reasonable billing rate, I've put a couple million dollars of time into the blog. If it was just a question of Axion's stock price it wouldn't be worth the effort, but as jakurtz noted the value of being a thought leader in an emerging mega-industry is priceless.
Not only that, but to put four years of blogging in and have the stock at 1/5th of your buy price would appear to be a failure of epic proportions if that were the goal. You don't strike me as that big of a failure.
Norfolk Southern's Juniata Locomotive Shop
After watching that, you really have to wonder if either they just don't have time to work on the NS999 or if they are striping it down all the way and having to completely redesign the racking system for how the batteries are housed and managed. Otherwise, I can't see any reason why a shop like that wouldn't have finished the refit by now.
jv, I've come to strongly suspect there is more to the saga than the four points you reference. Was it happenstance or coincidence that NSC suddenly found a need in '11Q3 for an EPA compliance assessment of NSC locomotive plans just months before GE announced commercial production of battery powered locomotives? Was it mere coincidence that the $400K fed grant to NSC was not awarded until the last business day of the federal fiscal year and after commercial failure of multiple fed funded li-ion ventures? Was it accidental that Axion was not selected for fed grant funding before June of this year and then for $150K to pursue stage I (year 1) of a two stage elimination competition with no probability of significant funding until 2014 at the earliest? I think the probability of coincidence explaining that string of occurrences is smaller than Hiliary Clinton fainting and suffering a concussion that incapacitates her for testifying before Congress on State Department (her actions) regarding matters related to death of our Ambassador to Libya at the consulate in Bengazi.
TG's words from the conf call last month, "Norfolk Southern has other subcontractors that may not be in perfect alignment with what their original schedules would have been." I interpreted that comment as a delicate ("we've been chastised a little bit for speaking for them [NS] in the past") way of saying that some other subs are behind schedule.
The one point we all need to keep in mind with Norfolk Southern is that they've already been snake-bit by the NS 999, and they were snake bit in the most embarrassing way possible. They did a major press event in September 2009 with Congressman Shuster, the Secretary of Transportation and a warehouse full of guests. The video is here – http://bit.ly/rI7uod
We don't know whether they've taken delivery yet. One of the big challenges with a project like the NS 999 is that you only get to make one announcement. You can announce the sale contract, you can announce the shipment or you can announce that the prototype has been built and is going into testing. If you try to announce more than once, however, the market immediately tags you with a micro-cap hype label and that's very hard to shed once it attaches.
I accept that NSC is determined that success will accompany any further electric locomotive rollouts by them. But, I no longer believe NSC's schedule for such rollout has been determined solely by technical or economic performance characteristic of the locomotives or NSC capital budget availability. NSC's 2012 Sustainability Report enunciated clearly their plans going forward.
D-Inv: "And, I interpret DOE's $150K grant for as a first step in evaluation and implementation of automotive start/stop as bait to entice swallowing of a step two poison pill".
HTL > "Am I correct in reading this as you are more jaded about DOE than I?"
D-Inv: I don't confuse bureaucracies with the individuals that populate them. Whether in government or business, the results are generally similar in that the dedicated and competent individuals are (at least temporarily) frustrated in their efforts to do good and worthwhile work.
I don't think anythings going to happen out of the blue, but I do think things will unfold and develop faster than many anticipate. Big companies do the long slow grind thing. Small companies tend to advance by leaps followed by modest retracements followed by bounds.
This may have already been posted here back in August. I found it to be quite interesting. --- From Reuters - August 3, 2012:

SA makes limited analytic data available to contributors. For 2012, the average SA article got 4,950 page views. My average article got 7,570 page views. The pageview count on Friday's article currently stands at 12.360 and counting. Given the way page views typically accumulate, I expect that Friday's piece will take the number one spot on my 12 month list of most read articles.

"...22 full-time positions will be eliminated at the Company's U.S. facilities. This workforce reduction was substantially complete on December 13, 2012. As a result of the restructuring, the Company expects to reduce annual expenses by $3.0 to $4.0 million."
If remembered correctly, they had 100+ employees in mid -2011.
What I would like for Chistmas is an electric car.
There would be no plug.
I would get the 2 under-the rocker-panel batteries swapped out by robotic arms in less than 2 minutes at the local battery-swap station.
I prefer batteries that are 99% lead but it wouldn't matter much what they were because I would not own them anyway I would just pay a couple dollars for the swap.
The batteries racked in the swap station would be charged properly and participate in V2G when not in a car.
I wonder if a PbC could be tweaked for this application?
Thanks, John.
I appeciate the quick way you get my feet back on the ground.
I must stay focused on good investment ideas and restrict the day dreaming to catching big fish.
I just realized again that the premise of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" was the idea of free abundant energy available to all and simply pulled out of the stratosphere. A real disruptive technology. Perhaps that's why I enjoy the novel so much. Nik Tesla was working on that in those days. So the idea has been around for quite awhile and here we are in 2012 still dreaming about it.
You are correct about Reardon inventing the new steel but the big changer was John Galt's (as in, "Who is John Galt?") electric motor that pulled unlimited energy from the atmosphere. Galt's electric energy harnesser would allow the steel to be made without burning coal and Dagney would outfit all her locomotives with Galt's incredibly powerful electric motors running on free energy, no heavy batteries required. Of course, the rails would be made of Reardon Steel, but electric locos would be the star.
Here we are today with NS (and others) trying to create the economic electric motive locomotive dream.
H. G. Wells and Jules Verne were the first authors I read to get me interested in electric energy being used to power fantastic inventions.
It's exciting watching the march to a Galt-like Utopian future.
When I make my first million I will set up an R&D lab in my garage and continue the search for better batteries and more efficient motors and solar/wind power.
Galt's creation involved harnessing static energy, iirc. The railroad application (to replace diesel) was part of the plot for the Taggart line... Reardon would of course have see endless applications in his own endeavors.
Jeez, Just got back after being away for a day and I see 123 new posts on John's uber triple star article and he's calling himself a moron in the Shire.
I thought these comments by Nathan Kemalyan MD on JP's latest SA article were excellent, and worth repeating here on the APC:
It's Monday morning my time and the analytics on Friday's article are awesome. SA gives each contributor a leader board that shows their most popular articles for the last 12 months and shows the total page views for each article. Friday's piece has already moved into the No. 3 position with 15,300 page views and will almost certainly take over the top spot within a couple days. While I've had some serious EVangelical participation over the last 24 hours, the first couple days of comments were serious, well considered and generally optimistic. While I'll be surprised if the article moves the price, won't be surprised to see a volume uptick.
I wish there was a way we could know how many of those page views were unique views (i.e. not people coming back to look at comments again).
I've always wondered whether SA reports total page views or unique page views. I know the Google Analytics I get on altenergystocks distinguish between the two and I wouldn't be surprised if SA reported unique views instead of total views.
I could easily be far at sea regarding apparent popularity of your Friday article, JP, but I'm thinking clarity of thought framework on a subject many, many people are interested in has a lot to do with it. ISTM a sizable share of investors understand better energy storage systems, and batteries in particular, are important to quality of life and future economic growth potential. Li-ion hopes have severely disappointed in a commercial (if not technological) sense with scale of disappointment reflected to some degree in magnitude of high flying P/E deflation for failed companies. Your article lays out a rational explanation for the failure(s) and offers a practical framework for assessing potential profitable future participation in expected energy storage market growth.
I hope that's the case.
metroneanderthal, contributorI'm feeling lucky about getting good news on the beautiful little expectant mother (the ePower truck) who is carrying our babies and am hoping the test results come out fine. An extreme case of heteropaternal superfecundation (like a litter of pups with different fathers) and I hope she spawns/whelps/gives birth to - whatever trucks do -duodecaplets in the next few months. (thanks wikipedia as couldn't have come up with these terms on my own)
Read all about it! Read all about it! Monday morning's APC, 187th edition...feel the newspaper crinkle in your hands with a steamy cup o' jo. Read all about it! Latest news and graphs about Axion... right this way!
Here's an interesting article regarding railroads for 2013 that mentions NS. Many of you are already on top of this but this article put railroads and trucking in perspective for me.
Railroads should keep rolling, but a dip in the economy could derail the sector's progress.
I suspect the fuel savings in rail will be a good deal lower than the fuel savings ePower is claiming for their Class 8 tractor because locomotives already use a highly efficient series electric drive, but even 10 or 20 percent on a locomotive that burns 150,000 gallons of diesel per year is nothing to sneeze at.
Time to reiterate?

If you look at what a project looks like
here is a quick presentation of the Visual Studio 2010 editions per role
Who needs VS Professional?
VS Professional will come automaticcaly with the platform.,I mean if you have decided to use .NET 4.0 or Sharepoint or any component of the Microsoft platform, then the first tool you need is an editor.. at the end of the day, VS Pro is the editor to write any code on the Microsoft platform.
Now, do a developer "just" need VS Pro ? No. I don;t recommend that.
As an average, a developer will spend less then 20% of his time writing code, the rest will be a mix of discussion, debugging, installation, research ….. So do you have the tools to support your developers when writing quality code (not just writing code) and the 80% rest (running test, fixing bugs, reviewing code, managing DB, validating requirements ….)?
I usually present VS Pro as "basic" (only writing code), VS Premium as "Standard" (include the code quality tools and the DB management tools) and VS Ultimate as "advanced" (Architecure and testing tools, prototyping …).
If you are wondering what is the rigth level of Visual Studio and you are a bit confused on the capabilities benefits for you, think about one thing ….. where is your cost (or where is your risk) ? In Australia (probably similar in North America, Europe,Japan …) a developer cost around 1000$ per day (full position), so if he's working 220 days per year, a company is spending 220 000$ for the position.
How much cost VS 2010 ultimate per year ? let say 8 000$ …. that represent less then 4% of the cost.
The tools to support a developer is less then 4% of the cost …. so it make sense to have the best tooling set to support any component of the life a a developer and not just an IDE to write code.
What is designer role?. Is it similar to architect role?.

What is the history of Lyme disease?
Interestingly, the disease only became apparent in 1975 when mothers of a group of children who lived near each other in Lyme, Conn., made researchers aware that their children had all been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. This unusual grouping of illness that appeared "rheumatoid" eventually led researchers to the identification of the bacterial cause of the children's condition, what was then named "Lyme disease" in 1982.
The only vector for Lyme disease in the U.S. is the deer tick known as Ixodes scapularis. These ticks are carriers of the Lyme disease bacterium in their stomachs. The ticks then are vectors that can transmit the bacterium to humans with a tick bite. The number of cases of the disease in an area depends on the number of ticks present and how often the ticks are infected with the bacteria. In certain areas of New York, where Lyme disease is common, over half of the ticks are infected. Lyme disease has been reported most often in the northeastern United States, but it has been reported in all 50 states, as well as China, Europe, Japan, Australia, and parts of the former Soviet Union. In the United States, it is primarily contracted in the Northeast in the states from Maine to Maryland, in the Midwest in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and in the West in Oregon and Northern California.

Eligible worker who has been permanently laid off, or has received a notice of layoff or termination from employment due to the firm's failure or plant closure. Workers dismissed because of unsatisfactory job performance are generally not considered displaced. See also dislocated worker.
Use displaced worker in a sentence
The sad truth is that is that any of us could go to work one day only to find out that because a company is not doing so well that we are a displaced worker.
There has been a marked increase in the number of displaced workers in the United States since the recession has worsened.
Star Fleet found a symmetric solution to both the problem of displaced workers on Vulcan and a lack of labor personnel in the Antarian ice mines.

Roanoke, VA - "coffee" search results
About Coffee
America has adopted a love for coffee and coffee and tea shops. They have hit a chord with Americans because of our fast pace life style. Those who start their mornings early do not have time for a big breakfast. They can easily stop by the local cafe and get a quick cup of coffee and a pastry and be on their way. Students enjoy coffee and tea shops because many locations provide internet connection. Students can enjoy coffee in a social setting while studying or getting their work done. Coffee and tea shops are popular meeting spots. Friends will meet up for coffee when they have not seen each other in a while in order to catch up. Coffee and tea shops and coffee shops have become very popular for those meeting for the first time. When two people chat online and decide to go on a date they want to meet at a public place, but also a place that does not require they spend a large amount of time with one another. When two people meet at a cafe they can enjoy a quick cup of coffee and maybe a pastry, which does not take long. If the two people hit it off than they can continue the date elsewhere; however, if one or both people do not feel a spark they can end the night after that quick cup of coffee. In this economy, coffee and tea shops also provide a less expensive social experience. Going to dinner with friends can get expensive, but if you meet up at a coffee shop you can get away with spending less than ten dollars, even if you order a sandwich or dessert. Coffee and tea shops also make for a cheap date night. If you are meeting someone for the first time, why take them to an expensive restaurant for dinner when you are not even sure you will like them or enjoy the evening? If you take them for coffee you can save money while getting to know them just as well. Coffee shops these days also offer a variety of delicious items. There are so many types of coffees and teas to choose from that everyone is sure to find something they like. If you are not a fan of coffee you can always order a hot chocolate or tea. Many coffee and tea shops offer more than just pastries. These days you can find coffee and tea shops that offer sandwiches and other savory items. Many Italian coffee and tea shops will also offer pizza, salads and even gelato. If you are a fan of strong coffee a cappuccino or espresso might be a good choice for you; however, do keep in mind that they are more expensive and you get less coffee for your buck. For the lover of sweet drinks, Frapuccinos and other iced coffees are usually sweet and will cool you off on a hot day.

More on Coffee - Tea Shops

West Lothian Health and Social Care Partnership is a partnership between NHS Lothian and West Lothian Council developed to further enhance the delivery of integrated health and social care services to the people of West Lothian.
Under the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014 new arrangements need to be put in place for the delivery of health and social care.
The Act replaces the previous community health partnership arrangements (CHCP in West Lothian) and requires health boards and local authorities to delegate some of their functions to a new body.
In West Lothian this new body is West Lothian Integration Joint Board (IJB) which has a separate and distinct legal identity from West Lothian Council and NHS Lothian.
The functions that will be delegated from 1 April 2016 are set out in the West Lothian Integration Scheme and include adult community health services, adult social care services and some hospital services.
West Lothian IJB is responsible for the governance, strategic planning and community planning in relation to adult health and social care services.
New arrangements will be put in place for the governance, strategic planning and community planning in relation to children's services.
The services that were in the West Lothian Community Health and Care Partnership (CHCP) will continue to be operationally managed by the joint Director post.

I heard you mention a while back that there was a way to drop cable and still enjoy my regular TV shows. Can you please refresh my memory on how to do it? Thanks!-Wes from Knoxville, TN, listens to my national radio show on WOKI 98.7 FMA. Before you take a machete to your cable box, Wes, it's a good idea to do some research. Cable alternatives aren't free. You want to make sure they'll cost less than what you're currently paying. Most of the shows you want to watch are probably available online at this point. This site tells you which services stream your favorite shows.You can quickly see what services - such as Hulu Plus, Netflix or Amazon Prime - you're going to need. Each of these sites costs around $7 a month and - thanks to exclusive studio deals - you might need two or more of them to get every show you want.If you only watch one or two shows, it might be cheaper to ignore streaming. You can buy or rent show episodes as they air for $1 to $3 on Amazon and iTunes. Or you can mix and match streaming and downloading as needed.Next page: Next, you should take a look at the hardware you might need.

I suspect we'll get a few similar incidents here after the law passes.
I must say, having bought into the idea that the French were generally fairly easy-going about laws in relation to sexuality and equality, it's quite disturbing to see just how very nasty some of the reactions have been. Indeed, incidents like this one are pretty barbaric and, perhaps surprisingly, a good deal worse than what's happened over here.
I never ever bought into the idea of the laissez-faire attitude of the French in regard to sexuality and equality. It was always Paris based. Step outside of Paris and you find yourself in very conservative agrarian areas where catholicism still has its tentacles among the voters. The viciousness was eye-opening though, unparelleled in any equal marriage country thus far. I think it may well have had a sobering effect on UK opponents, especially those of C4M. What is striking is that in spite of it, the French vote last week was huge. Perhaps the outpouring of hate played a part in the final result.
I always felt that the French (huge generalisation of course) were better at recognising the distinction between their own personal views and the value and desirability of equality in legislation. Clearly it was a naive assumption.
Having tried and succeeded in restructuring French business. i both respect and admire the french attitude mainly….. However good french people…. Be more inclusive and have a better argument than… we are french to everything.
we too are French in attitude… however how agout equality… hugs french neighbours
Looks like the anti marriage terrorists are becoming more of a threat to French security than Al-quieda .
And yet religion links them both!
Seems to me the religious are their own worst enemies.
One minute they play the victim and make ridiculous claims they will be criminalised and the next they are sending bullets and gunpowder through the post and making comments about war, just because of fairness being given over marriage.
They do themselves no favours by their appalling behaviour.
However we benefit because they are showing their true face…. both of them.
So, will the French be removing the word "Égalité" from their motto, "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" (Liberty, equality, fraternity)? I can only think that they are all so religiously-brainwashed about homosexuality that they have forgotten the defining priciples of their country.
People, like these anti-equality trash are cowardly losers, and like cockroaches, they do their dirty work under cover of darkness or anonymity. Rather than face people head on, they send intimidating letters instead, thinking that their threats will cow the receiver.
In the U.S., we have a saying-"Put up or shut up". If you can make threats, you should have the courage to carry them out, face to face, or else simply STFU!
They know damn well that if they did carry through their threats they'd create a martyr and their group would be declared anathema and hunted down like the dogs that they are.
And the Catholic Church still took sides with these criminals, claiming that it was only a minority of Frenchs that wanted same-sex marriage and that the massive opposition and protests that took place in France against same-sex marriage showed it should not be legalized. All rejoice to receive the good Christian love !!

Our stay was everything we needed, excellent sleep (once we were all tired out), bed was very comfy, maybe a little on the warm side, the bathroom accomplished both of ours needs and more.
The surprise box under the bed was very fun and exciting!.
Why I have put a 4 on the food is because the full English needed more info as to what we could of had as we thought it was only as described until out neighbouring table had a much more tasty looking plate of food.
Overall a fantastic place for adults to have fun!!

- Surgery.
- Radiation therapy.
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy have not been shown to improve outcomes in stage I NSCLC that has been completely resected.
Surgery is the treatment of choice for patients with stage I NSCLC. A lobectomy or segmental, wedge, or sleeve resection may be performed as appropriate. Patients with impaired pulmonary function are candidates for segmental or wedge resection of the primary tumor. Careful preoperative assessment of the patient's overall medical condition, especially the patient's pulmonary reserve, is critical in considering the benefits of surgery. The immediate postoperative mortality rate is age related, but a 3% to 5% mortality rate with lobectomy can be expected.[1]
Evidence (surgery):
- The Lung Cancer Study Group conducted a randomized study (LCSG-821) that compared lobectomy with limited resection for patients with stage I lung cancer. Results of the study showed the following:[2]
- A reduction in local recurrence for patients treated with lobectomy compared with those treated with limited excision.
- No significant difference in overall survival (OS).
- Similar results have been reported from a nonrandomized comparison of anatomic segmentectomy and lobectomy.[3]
- A survival advantage was noted with lobectomy for patients with tumors larger than 3 cm but not for those with tumors smaller than 3 cm.
- The rate of locoregional recurrence was significantly less after lobectomy, regardless of primary tumor size.
- A study of stage I patients showed the following:[4]
- Those treated with wedge or segmental resections had a local recurrence rate of 50% (i.e., 31 recurrences out of 62 patients) despite having undergone complete resections.[4]
- The Cochrane Collaboration group reviewed 11 randomized trials with a total of 1,910 patients who underwent surgical interventions for early-stage (I-IIIA) lung cancer.[5] A pooled analysis of three trials reported the following:
- Four-year survival was superior in patients with resectable stage I, II, or IIIA NSCLC who underwent resection and complete ipsilateral mediastinal lymph node dissection (CMLND), compared with those who underwent resection and lymph node sampling; the hazard ratio (HR) was estimated to be 0.78 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.65-0.93, P = .005).[5][Level of evidence: 1iiA]
- There was a significant reduction in any cancer recurrence (local or distant) in the CMLND group (relative risk [RR], 0.79; 95% CI, 0.66-0.95; P = .01) that appeared mainly because of a reduction in the number of distant recurrences (RR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.61-1.00; P = .05).
- There was no difference in operative mortality.
- Air leak lasting more than 5 days was significantly more common in patients assigned to CMLND (RR, 2.94; 95% CI, 1.01-8.54; P = .05).
- Current evidence suggests that lung cancer resection combined with CMLND is associated with a small-to-modest improvement in survival compared with lung cancer resection combined with systematic sampling of mediastinal nodes in patients with stage I, II, or IIIA NSCLC.[5][Level of evidence: 1iiA]
- CMLND versus lymph node sampling was evaluated in a large randomized phase III trial (ACOSOG-Z0030).[6]
- Preliminary analyses of operative morbidity and mortality showed comparable rates from the procedures.[6]

Three Kids
Sunday, November 08, 2015
Friday, August 09, 2013
Sponsored Post: GoodNites Underwear Undercover Mission
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of GoodNites. All opinions are 100% mine.
My kids are 3 and 5, and we have been a diaper free family for about a year. Both of my kids were potty-trained pretty painlessly when they were about 2 1/2, and it has been so freeing to not worry about changing diapers. At night though, they need a little extra help sometimes. My five year old has a lot of trouble falling alseep at night, and like to drink water when she's trying to sleep. Sometimes, she sleeps so deeply after her being up late that she doesn't wake up to go to the bathroom. We're in the process of taking away her water in bed and trying to get her to get up on her own, but for now, we need a little help to keep her dry at night. My 3 year old still uses diapers at night to stay dry.
So, when GoodNites offered us a chance to take the GoodNites Underwear Undercover Mission, we were excited to try out the GoodNites underwear (which are basically thin, discreet diapers that you can pull on like underwear).
My kids both tried out the GoodNites underwear for a couple of weeks, and they were awesome. They look just like underwear and you can't see them under pajamas, which is a huge plus if your child is a little shy or embarrassed that they need a little help staying dry at night. My daughter had a sleepover with her cousin while wearing these, and she was happy that you couldn't see them.
We loved the GoodNites underwear and I think they are perfect for older kids. They worked great, no leaks, and my kids felt secure and confident wearing them. We are really fans and I would reccomend them to anyone. If you're going through bed-wetting with your kids, GoodNites has a facebook page where you can connect with other parents, engage in coversation and get some advice. You can also sign up for the Undercover Mission for a chance to win weekly prices. Sign up through their GoodNites Facebook page or on their website: GoodNites

Case management to improve major depression in primary health care: a systematic review
Background. Deficits in the care of depression lead to poor medication adherence, which increases the risk of an unfavourable outcome for this care. This review evaluates effects on symptoms and medication adherence of case management in primary health care.
Method. A systematic literature search was performed. The quality of the studies was rated according to the Cochrane Effective Practice and Organization of Care Group (EPOC) criteria. To conduct a subgroup analysis interventions were classified as either 'standard' or 'complex' case management.
Results. Thirteen studies met the inclusion criteria. In a meta-analysis we calculated a standard mean difference/effect size on symptom severity after 6–12 months of −0·40 (95% CI −0·60 to –0·20). Patients in the intervention groups were more likely to achieve remission after 6–12 months [relative risk (RR) 1·39, 95% CI 1·30–1·48]. The relative risk for clinical response was 1·82 (95% CI 1·68–2·05). Patients in intervention groups had better medication adherence than the control group (RR 1·5, 95% CI 1·28–1·86). We found heterogeneous results when assessing effects of different types of intervention.
Conclusions. We conclude that case management improves management of major depression in primary health-care settings.(Published Online August 1 2005)
