Layoffs, backed up stock, and businesses desperate to stay afloat are just a few of the problems photovoltaic contractors are currently dealing with after procedural changes made by the Hawaiian Electric Company last month.
Click here to see Brenton Awa's report.
Rolf Christ is the owner of R & R Solar and is also on the board of the Hawaii Solar Energy Association. His company is one of two major wholesalers of photovoltaic systems on Oahu. Christ supplies over 200 contractors with products, but his stock continues to back up, over stocking his warehouses because of a slowdown in PV installations. A result of a move he says came out of nowhere by HECO.
"I don't understand how HECO didn't see it coming over the last 3-4 years," said Rolf Christ, of the Hawaii Solar Energy Association.
Christ says the PV industry was booming last year and it was just getting into its busiest months. When HECO implemented changes on Sept. 6, he says the industry came to a halt the very next day.
"HECO found a way to accept more product to the grid, it sounded positive and maybe eventually it will happen, but for now its put a big stop to a lot of business," said Christ.
"We have to make sure that we're looking out for the reliability of the system, the customers equipment, and the safety of our workers who are working on the lines," said Darren Pai, spokesperson for the Hawaiian Electric Company.
Christ says one of his customers laid off 60 employees one week after hearing about the changes. He says other companies have laid off half of their crews.
HECO says the reasons for the changes are to make it easier, faster, and less expensive for customers to get PV systems while ensuring safety.
"You can have voltage spikes which can damage consumer electronics, can damage utility lines and transformers," said Pai.
Christ and other contractors don't buy that reason.
"There's lots of circuits over 100 percent capacity and there's no issues," said Christ.
The main change for contractors comes by way of the net energy metering agreement, which asks HECO to connect the home system to the grid.
In the past contractors would install a system and submit the agreement to HECO, but now contractors say they must submit the agreement first, which holds up their process.
"Now the contractor has to be careful what to tell the homeowner because they cannot really promise them that they can interconnect," said Christ.
So if your trying to get a system, you might have to wait. Contractors say that period can range anywhere from two weeks to five months. In some cases, customers may have to pay additional fees that contractors say have yet to be revealed.
"A lot of homeowners are sitting on the fence not even signing contracts because they say we want to see first how much HECO is going to charge us for improvements on the grid," said Christ.
"Were going to work with our customers, work with the PV industry and try to make sure we can have as much PV on the system as possible," said Pai.
This situation has also caught the attention of lawmakers who may gather as soon as next week to discuss the subject.

Class and Finesse
In my last post, I examined the difference between baseball in football, saying that baseball had "class" and "finesse" compared to football. One of the commenters, C Dobbie, challenged those terms in relation to baseball, and I really appreciated that. Here is what he said:
"I am a British MLB fan. Baseball is one of the very few games where one player plays against the whole opposition team, which is where its greatness derives,
I place it second only to my beloved cricket – a much more sophisticated game in my opinion.
However I find it difficult to accept the adjective "classy" or the noun "finesse".
How classy are the following
1. Arguing with umpires
2. Mass brawling among players
3. Runners deliberately trying to injure opponents
4. Pitchers deliberately trying to hit batters
5. Cheating in various forms
Not my definition of Finesse.
I still think its a great game but I-d like to see some of the above addressed.
C Dobbie"
Thanks so much for looking at my entry with critique and challenging me on this!
OK, let's start by looking at baseball and football. Looking at both sports, which would you say is more calm? I think most of you would say baseball. You might even say that baseball is boring because of the lack of action. I agree that the game can be slow, but that's what adds so much to it. You have time to absorb what is happening. You can relax, eat, talk with other fans, and be fairly relaxed at a baseball game. Sure, you might be the kind of fan that's constantly jumping around and screaming and never relaxing. That's me. But generally, I think baseball fans are a relaxed sort of people. At least, compared to football fans.
Football is a big, brutal sport. I love it, and I think it has a class and finesse of its own. When you think about a football game, you think of constant action and brutality. The action is constantly moving, and moving fast. The fans get very into the game, screaming like crazy for their team. To me, football seems like so much more of an intense environment. I've never been to a major football game, only high school games. Even at that level, things are pretty crazy.
The games of football and baseball are obviously different. I'm not going to get into all the differences, because, obviously, it would be ridiculously difficult. These games are vastly different. The fans are similar in their passion for their games. Some people love only baseball. Some people love only football. Some love both, equally or not.
Now into the argument.
How classy are the following? Well, let's see.
1. Arguing with umpires.
This is definitely a very debatable subject. Should players and managers be not allowed to question an umpire's judgment? Umpires are an essential part of the game, there's no doubt about that. And that position demands respect from the players and staff on the teams. All teams should respect what the umpire decides in the best call. But we've had a lot of bad umpiring in the last couple years. I'm not sure why. Though teams should respect umpires, I believe that they have to right to let their opinion be known if they think a call was not called rightly.
For those of us who are able to watch games on TV, it can sometimes be obvious whether the umpire made the call right or not. They will show the play over and over from different points of view and different speeds and you, the fan, can see how it actually went down. Maybe the manager in the dugout was able to see the play from a better angle than the umpire was.
I believe that a manager or player should not yell or act angry with the umpire, but just go out there and ask calmly why he thought the play should have been called that way. There are times when a manager goes out there yelling and screaming to fire up his team. But I think that managers should respect the umpire's call and just ask calmly for an explanation.
Say that you're team is in a huge playoff game, and an umpire calls a runner safe at home when it was painfully obvious that the runner did not even touch the plate. Of course the manager is going to be ticked, and it the heat of the moment, will rush out there and argue with them. Can you imagine how boring baseball would be if everyone just accepted what the umpires said without a word? When a play goes against you, you want to see the manager go out there and defend his players and his team. It may not be classy, but it's part of the game.
2. Mass brawling among players
It doesn't really happen that often, does it? Again, I think this is a spur of the moment type thing. "Mass brawling" is basically what football is, just with a little more discipline. Brawling on the baseball field is usually a result of an action like intentionally hitting a batter, or doing something that's considered unsportsmanlike. This is a matter of defending a teammate. If a guy gets hit multiple times for no apparent reason, and he gets mad about it and goes after the pitcher, both teams are going to come out so they can defend their players. Most of the time, nobody gets hurt, and everybody just kind of mingles on the field. Is it classy? No. But it's rare. It's not something that you see everyday.
3. Runners deliberately trying to injure opponents
I wouldn't say that runners deliberately try to injure opponents on a regular basis. Usually, the only reason to "deliberately injure" an opposing player is to prevent a double play by sliding hard into second base. That's understandable. If he's the lead runner, he does not want to get picked off or end the inning. He's just trying to stumble up the second baseman or shortstop so that he can keep the inning alive for his team. I know that there are exceptions, of guys literally trying to hurt the player, but those guys get suspended.
4. Pitchers deliberately trying to hit batters
Not often done without provacation. Unless the pitcher or manager has a ridiculous grudge against another player, they are not going to go around hitting guys. I think most baseball fans can tell when a player getting hit was accidental or intentionally. You're going to see a lot of intentional hitting in big rivalry games like Yankees-Red Sox. If one of the teams hits a player, intentionally or accidentally, the other team is going to seek retaliation, which leads to brawling and warnings and suspentions. It's not a good thing. Intentionally hitting a player is not classy. It's a bad mark on the game but it's a part of the game nonetheless.
I don't think it happens as often as it used to, back in the days of the spitball and things. The game has matured over the years.
5. Cheating in various forms
This is probably the saddest part of the game today. All the taking of illiegal substances had been terrible for baseball. Classy? No way! The players who are doing this kind of stuff are cheating the game. Unfortunately, the majority of the players in MLB are taking substances of some sort. Players are doing anything to get an edge over the competion, whether it be for selfish reasons or just wanting to help their team. Most of the time, it's selfish. These players want to be bigger, better. They want bigger paychecks. They want have an advantage over other players in the minors. There are a lot of guys out there whose dream is to play baseball. If the only way to get there is to get better, they'll do anything to make that happen.
It's extremely sad. The game is almost turning fake. The competition is very, very tough. You have to perform or you're out.
There are other forms of "cheating" that are a very established part of the game. Trying to steal signs, for instance. You rarely think about it when you're at a game, but there's some major stuff going on down on the field. The coaches, manager, catcher and pitcher, and all sorts of players are exchanging signs and trying to figure out the other team's signs.
It's not classy. It's cheating.
I'm not saying that this game is perfect. I'm not saying that it doesn't need to be improved. As another commenter,
The game, at its bare bones, is amazing. If we didn't have to cheating players, the unfortunate brawls, and any other thing that makes the game tainted, baseball would have class and finesse. When you're out at the ballpark having a good time, you need to forget all the bad stuff and just enjoy the game as it is. There's nothing we can do to change it.
You can't say that the beauty of a center fielder making an improbable catch, pulling the ball back from over the fence isn't finesse. The full-out dive of a shortstop, grabbing the ball in his out-streched glove, springing up, and getting the runner out at first. The confident stroke of a star hitter, sending the ball way out into the stands. What about an opposing player, whose hit found it's way into the pitcher's face, who puts his arm around the pitcher's teammate and prays for him, forgetting their uniforms and prejudices? That's classy. Or a runner who slides into second base and gently knocks the shortstop off his feet so he can prevent a double play and then makes sure the guy is OK. He understands. It's part of the game.
Baseball had class. Baseball has finesse. It also has problems, but this game is amazing.
Thank you, again, for your challenge on this subject.

I wouldn't necessarily use the past tense in saying "baseball HAD class". There is still class present in the game, but those players who perform with class aren't the ones getting shown in the ESPN highlights; rather, we see the hitters admiring their home runs or flipping their bats, or showing up the other team in some way. But there still ARE players out there playing with class. Albert Pujols, Chase Utley, Derek Jeter come to mind. Finesse – definitely. A pitcher painting the outside of the plate for a called third strike. An acrobatically turned double play. A perfectly placed bunt. Those are all finesse.
As for football, I'd love to see those end-zone celebrations toned waaaay down – that is the opposite of class.
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
I apologise for not knowing how to access the identity of the original poster of the "classy" and "finesse" article who was kind enough not only to devote a lot of time and care in refuting my arguments, but addresed me by name whilst doing so. I regret I cannot reciprocate owing to my own ignorance. May I refer to you as "Sir" / further apologies if you are a "madam".
I am glad that Sir so graciously agrees at least partially with me about the lack of class in some of my assertions and I hope he will be equally glad that I agree at least partially with some of his.
Iam conscious of my position as a foreigner who is not steeped in the ancient traditions of the game. I cannot hope to be as knowledgeable as he so obviously is. But I do realise that those ancient traditions are a vital part of the game and must be preserved. But would a great game not become even greater if some minor changes were made.
1. What,s wrong with NOT arguing with umpires. I am always amazed at the enormously high standards of MLB umpires. They get the vast majority of difficult decisions right. They,re probably the best in the world in ANY sport.
Sure, they make mistakes, but who doesn,t, they,re only human.
2. Mass brawling. So what if it does occur only rarely. It shouldn,t happen at all.
3. I,m not referring here to the runner trying to distract the fielder at the base. I am referring to the runner who veers
far off base after having been out solely to impact the fielder. I stand to be corrected, but did not Ty Cobb wear shoes with sharpened spikes when running. Or is that story apocryphal.
4. If I were to repeat outside the ball park, the actions of a pitcher trying deliberately to hit a batter, I would, quite rightly, be charged with Assault with a Deadly Weapon. There is no place for that in the game regardless of the "provocation" offered.
In saying all that, however, I cannot help but agree with Sir and Sue that there are many classy actions and great finesse in some aspects of the game. My own favourite is the fielding. I am awestruck at the high degree of skill and speed shown in almost every ground play and open jawed with amazement at double and triple plays. Fielding is probably the only aspect of the game that is better than it is in criccket.
I suspect we,re going to have to agree to disagree on my points, but at least we,ve had a civilised exchange of views.
C Dobbie
I agree that we will have to agree to disagree🙂 But yeah, this has been fun to think about and you brought up some very valid points. I'm Kaybee, a madam🙂 You are right about Ty Cobb, but that was a long time ago. I believe that if anything happened like that in the game today, that player would be ejected from the game and then suspended. Yeah, defenders are a favorite of mine, too. The game really is amazing, but there are some things that are not the greatest. Every sport has their black marks. Thank you again for bringing up these points and being able to "discuss" them with me!

Clean Energy building two arrays in Golden
- published_in
- Northern Colorado
- Today's News
The Carbondale-based solar developer recently began construction on two new community-owned solar facilities in Golden for customers of Xcel Energy Inc. (NYSE: XEL). The new facilities will total 684 kilowatts. Construction on the arrays is scheduled to be completed this summer.
Xcel customers in Jefferson County can buy individual panels on the shared solar arrays to receive rebates and incentives. The facilities in Golden are expected to generate 1.16 million kilowatt hours of electricity during their first year of operation. That's enough electricity to power 100 homes.
The projects mark the third and fourth community solar facilities that Clean Energy Collective has started construction on this month, including two sites in progress in Denver County. Clean Energy Collective will have seven arrays on the Front Range serving Xcel customers after it completes the two projects in Golden.
The company plans to build an additional solar array that will begin generating electricity later this year, potentially at the site of the former Dreher pickle factory, 500 Riverside Ave. in Fort Collins, company and utility representatives said.
The utility will buy power from the 333-kilowatt photovoltaic solar array built by Clean Energy Collective. The city selected the solar firm after issuing a request for proposals late last year.

Wonderful, natural scent.

To like this you have to really like the smell of vanilla. I love it. People do lots of praise when I use it. It's inspiring and comforting. I think it has a little smell of fruit also. The composition is so simple and free of toxic ingredients that traditional perfumes have, it enchanted me. Highly recommend.

Under the restrictions put in place in June of 2012, residents were limited to two days per week for landscape watering, but under the new restrictions, watering is now limited to one day per week.
The notice states that effective immediately, and due to continued drought and hot dry weather conditions, the city is implementing the measures in accordance with the city's drought contingency plan.
Outdoor watering of landscaped areas with hose-end sprinklers or automatic irrigation systems is prohibited from from 10 a.m. through 6 p.m. every day of the week.
Residents with street addresses ending in an even number (0, 2, 4, 6 or 8) may water outdoor areas on Saturdays between the hours of 6 p.m. to 10 a.m. of the following day.
Residents with street addresses ending in an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7 or 9) may water outdoor areas on Thursdays between the hours of 6 p.m. to 10 a.m. of the following day.
Use of water to wash down sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, or other surfaced areas is prohibited.
According to Kenedy City Manger Ford Patton, the restrictions have been put in place largely due to aquifer levels in the Kenedy area that are rapidly dropping.
There needs to be enough water above the submerged pumps in order to prevent them failing, so the city's water department is limiting its production of water in order to maintain those safe levels.
At the rate the levels are continuing to fall, further water restrictions may become necessary at some point in the future, Patton said.
Contrary to persistent rumors stating otherwise, Patton said that the City of Kenedy does not sell water for use by oil and gas companies operating in the area, and water for other commercial purposes, such as landscaping, falls under the same restrictions as residential customers.
The above conservation measures apply to all water customers, commercial and residential, of the City of Kenedy.
Fore more information, contact the City of Kenedy at 830-583-2230.

Freezing is a great make-ahead strategy and certain recipes freeze better than others. Find our picks for healthy freezable recipes.
Best Freezable Recipes
Preparing double or even triple recipes and freezing portions for later means you don't have to cook every night to have a delicious and nutritious meal on the table. And some food is better suited to freezing and reheating than others. For example, casseroles, soups, chilis, and meat loaf all stand up to the freezer well and most cooked dishes will keep for two to three months in the freezer.

Kerry says US releasing millions in aid to EgyptBy MATTHEW LEE
The Associated Press | March 04,2013CAIRO U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday rewarded Egypt for President Mohammed Morsis pledges of political and economic reforms by releasing $250 million in American aid to support the countrys future as a democracy.
Yet Kerry also served notice that the Obama administration will keep close watch on how Morsi, who came to power in June as Egypts first freely elected president, honors his commitment and that additional U.S. assistance would depend on it.
The path to that future has clearly been difficult and much work remains, Kerry said in a statement after wrapping up two days of meetings in Egypt, a deeply divided country in the wake of the revolution that ousted longtime President Hosni Mubarak.
Egypt is trying to meet conditions to close on a $4.8 billion loan package from the International Monetary Fund. An agreement would unlock more of the $1 billion in U.S. assistance promised by President Barack Obama last year and set to begin flowing with Kerrys announcement.
The United States can and wants to do more, Kerry said. Reaching an agreement with the IMF will require further effort on the part of the Egyptian government and broad support for reform by all Egyptians. When Egypt takes the difficult steps to strengthen its economy and build political unity and justice, we will work with our Congress at home on additional support.
Kerry cited Egypts extreme needs and Morsis assurances that he plans to complete the IMF process when he told the president that the U.S. would provide $190 million of a long-term $450 million pledge in a good-faith effort to spur reform and help the Egyptian people at this difficult time. The release of the rest of the $450 million and the other $550 million tranche of the $1 billion that Obama announced will be tied to successful reforms, officials said.MORE IN Wire News

Such as Semana Santa (Easter Week), Labor Day (May 1), 5 de mayo, independence day (Sept. 16), day of the dead (Nov. 1-2), revolution day (Nov. 20), processions to the church of Guadalupe (Dec. 1 – 12 ), Christmas and new year's.
The commercial are of Puerto Vallarta grew up around the central plaza, so here you will find the best restaurants, the major art galleries, and the majority of jewelry, craft and gifts shops, the boutiques of typical clothing, leather goods and accessories, shops filled with blown glass, ceramics, huichol indian art, marks, musical instruments and unique collectibles from all over Mexico. A tourist's information office in City Hall will give you free maps and tourists information. A monthly calendar of events is published by the Old Town merchants association.
Leading the way for events are the weekly ¨Old Town Art Walks¨ now having completed their eighth full season (Nov. thru April), with seventeen participating galleries.

Continuing this spring, students in grades 9, 10 and exit level will be asked to sign an honor statement before taking TAKS or STAAR tests. This statement will be printed on each student's answer sheet, and students will be asked to sign it before the test begins.
The honor statement reads, "By signing my name, I agree that I will not give or receive unauthorized assistance during the test. I understand that giving or receiving unauthorized assistance during the test is cheating and may result in the invalidation of my test results."
"Invalidation" of test results means that the student's test would not be scored and the student would not receive test results.
The TAKS and STAAR tests are required by both state and federal law. The test results are used to monitor and improve public education for all Texas students.
The addition of an honor statement is one of several steps the state of Texas is taking to ensure that each student's test results are an accurate indicator of his or her academic performance. Other state testing programs and college entrance exams include similar honor statements.
Beeville ISD appreciates support of this new procedure by parents and students.

"Mmmm, I'm full off of all your collective disappointment."
The Slow Clap
One of the most ubiquitous clichés in film, the slow clap shows up so often and across so many genres of movies that entire compilations have been created in its honor.
Its power lies in the slow clap's ability to sway the opinion of an entire crowd, not with words or ideas, but with the sound of two pieces of flesh slamming against each other. The slow clap generally follows the protagonist having an, "I'm just being honest for a second" moment in front of an audience. While everyone stares on horrified (everyone in movies presumably hates honesty), one person begins to clap. Somehow, that sound alone is enough to convince everyone else that, oh yeah, they also enjoyed that crazy bullshit that just happened. Gradually it swells into a massive applause as the opinion of everyone in attendance shifts 180 degrees simultaneously. The slow clap as a concept seems absurd; an entire crowd of people convinced they like something just by hearing one person clap is insulting to human intelligence. Oh, and it turns out it happens to crowds all the time.
The psychology behind it:
Even the most opinionated and judgmental people in the world are susceptible to the power of group mentality. Arguably the most prominent researcher in crowd psychology, Gustave Le Bon suggested that when people come together in crowds, they start to identify with the group at large instead of as an individual. The opinions of the crowd become the opinions of each person like a mass hypnosis.
"A phenomenon of which it is easy to establish the presence but which it is not easy to explain. It must be classed among those phenomena of a hypnotic order. In a group every sentiment and act is contagious, and contagious to such a degree that an individual readily sacrifices his personal interest to the collective interest. This is an aptitude very contrary to his nature, and of which man is scarcely capable except when he makes part of a group."
In other words, every minute change in the crowd has a ripple effect on the collective conscious and can determine the thoughts and opinions of the rest of the group. While this sometimes manifests itself in riots or acts of violence, the slow clap is a decidedly more positive symptom of mob mentality. A single person clapping in a crowd can immediately trigger the same response from everyone else because they are subconsciously serving the interest of the group, until finally, everyone is in unified agreement that they love whatever just happened.
Even if they can't remember what the hell it was.
Getting Moral in the Mirror
Sometimes in the middle of a movie a protagonist has to lock himself in a bathroom, splash a little water on his face and have a quick one-on-one with himself in the mirror. It usually happens when he's faced with a ethical decision; Vincent Vega talks himself out of sleeping with Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction, and Smeagol cures his own schizophrenia and decides not to kill Sam and Frodo just by talking to his own reflection in Lord of the Rings. Protagonists consistently use a mirror as a moral compass, the only exception being women, who for some reason make really terrible decisions after seeing their own reflections.
"C'mon, what's the worst that a couple of business men would ask me to do?"
In reality, hashing things out with a reflection would seem silly if not a little crazy. Most people haven't talked to themselves in a mirror since they were children. Yet, it turns out that more people probably ought to face themselves when dealing with a decision of principle, because it actually works.
The psychology behind it:
Studies have been conducted on both children and adults to determine how confrontation with our own reflections affects our morality. One self reflection study conducted on Halloween gave kids the opportunity to grab candy out of unsupervised bowls. The bowls were exactly the same at separate houses on the same street; the only difference was that one bowl had a mirror behind it. As a result, the children were significantly less likely to steal candy when they had to look at their own reflections even though they were wearing costumes. A similar test was also done on adults at a news stand who paid for newspapers on the honor system. The results were nearly identical; we are all more likely to act morally while confronted with our own faces.
"I slept with Chris before you were dating, and once during. Break a leg tonight!"
So while the mirror pep-talk provides a nice cinematic analogy; the protagonist faces his physical reflection and through it can re-calibrate his personality, our minds really do work that way. We as a species just make better decisions when we have to look ourselves in the eye as we do it. So if you know someone who got rid of every mirror in his house for the sake of feng shui, then congratulations, you finally have a legitimate reason to suspect he may be terrible person.

Goodman for District 6
As Election Day draws near, we decided that we really needed to check out what's happening with the Democratic candidates in Sullivan County. So, like all good Americans, we booted up our computers.
Here is what we found. Cora Edwards has somehow convinced Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther that she single-handedly brought grant funding to Sullivan County. What we all know is that Ms. Edwards used to work for Sullivan Renaissance and worked with a team of Renaissance staff and volunteers to bring in funding. Everyone knows that it is not nice to take credit for other people's work.
Also, it seems that she has convinced both Assemblywoman Gunther and Congressman Maurice Hinchey that she supports economic development. I guess she might advocate for economic development as long as it doesn't develop in her back yard. If you really want to know her record on economic development, jobs creation and tax revenue, ask any of us, her Swan Lake neighbors, about the high-end home development she worked to block rather than help look for alternatives that would work for both the eagles and the developer.
So since we have a choice, we will be voting for Jodi Goodman for legislator in District 6.

February 27, 2013 —
What a great weekend I had; I went down to Queens to a cousin's party. There were over 45 of us, and there were a lot missing. This was my mother's mother's side of the family. My family tree could be a forest.
With my mother being so sick she wanted everyone together to have a party, so she and my two aunts were there. The three of them are the last of a generation; my sister and two cousins are the start of my generations; and there were three generations there after me. We are a very lucky family to have five generations. Being with family is always a fun time.
The Cochecton Ambulance Corps would like to thank everyone who came out to its chili and soup fundraiser. Everyone had a great time and the chili was delicious. A special thank you to Burger King in Monticello and to Peck's Market in Narrowsburg for their donation. With the people coming out and supporting this event, the Cochecton Volunteer Ambulance will be able to buy much needed supplies.
A belated happy birthday to "The Judge," Bob Meyer, who spent the weekend with his kids and grandkids.
Check out the Town of Cochecton website at www.townofcochectonny.org [2].

Wasteful practices continue to rileFebruary 09,2013
Wasteful practices continue to rile
Recently I was fired from my job as a deli worker at a major convenience chain. We were forced to throw away every food item that they considered waste or outdated. I soon came to realize that enough food was being discarded to the Dumpster daily to feed approximately 25 people. In one week, that amounts to 175 people who could be directly or indirectly fed, 600 per month.
In the five months of my employment, I was forced to throw away enough food to feed more than 3,000 people. This chain, I learned, has 36 stores, mostly in Vermont. You can do the math.
If this is not a crime, it should be. During my employment I constantly suggested alternative options such as homeless shelters, seniors, low income, after school, employees, farmers and compost.
First my hours were cut, I believe because I was not cheerfully compliant. I continued to be appalled by this outrageous waste daily. I have also thought that if I am not part of the solution, I am part of the problem.
So, if you let your conscience be your guide, you may stand to get fired. What happens next?

HAILS FROM: Manhattan
PRESIDES OVER: Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery, 505 West 24th Street, New York
GALLERY'S SPECIALTY: Contemporary art
ARTISTS SHOWN: Edward Burtynsky, Jim Campbell, Peter Campus, Bruce Davidson, Brigitte Kowanz, David Opdyke, José Parlá, Alan Rath, Ben-19076">Ben Rubin, Paula Scher Gallery 's first show: "Art Apparatus," 2002, with Jim Campbell, Alan Rath, John F. Simon Jr., and Steina Vasulka
Was there art on the walls when you were growing up?
I grew up in a very creative household in Manhattan. My father's a fashion designer and a talented artist in his own right. My parents collected Pop art and color field painting, and when I became a teenager we collected vintage photography together.
What is the first work of art you remember being affected by?
Jim Dine's "Putney Winter Heart #8," 1971, which hung in our living room. It was a beautiful painting, and rich with assemblage. It cemented my love and appreciation for collage.
When did you first open your gallery, and what drew you to the business?
I opened my doors in 2002, having previously worked as a specialist in the photographs department at Christie's. Aware of the city's rich tradition of galleries, I had noticed an absence of programs committed to promoting video-, digital-, and electronic-based art.
How did you choose your specialty?
When I was 17 I spent the summer as a research assistant for John Hanhardt, then senior curator of Film and Media Arts at the Guggenheim. John introduced me to a rich and diverse world of video art, then roughly 30 years old. The works of Nam June Paik, Peter Campus, and Woody and Steina Vasulka signaled an innovative approach to art making. That approach continues to influence the gallery's program.
What is the most challenging part of running an art gallery today?
Striking a balance between fostering my artists' careers, doing art consultations, and maintaining a heavy fair schedule is the most challenging part of the job.
Has your market been changing?
Similar to the rise of photography as a fine art since the 1990 sale of Graham Nash's collection, video and new media is no longer considered a stand-alone market. It's recognized and acquired by mainstream buyers. Conversely, this is why my program has expanded to include painting and sculpture.
In which art fair do you most enjoy participating?
Photography fairs such as AIPAD and Paris Photo give us the opportunity to showcase artists who merge traditional photography with alternative media. Jim Campbell, Alan Rath, and Peter Campus are great examples of this.
What has been your strangest or most humorous experience in the art trade?
In 2004 I assumed I could simply go down to Canal Street to buy pigeons for a posthumous re-creation at the gallery of Juan Downey's "About Cages [1987]." You can find just about anything on Canal Street, but I never did find a pigeon-seller.
Are there any works that have been painful to part with?
Jim Campbell's "Motion and Rest #2." Had I not sold it to the Metropolitan Museum, I'd have bought it for myself.
Do you bring any experiences from outside the art world to bear on your gallery?
The experience of being a parent and the perspective my children give me help me see things from different angles.
What sets your gallery apart?
I believe we're unique in our commitment to showcasing and promoting new media. While I still feel this work is often viewed as purely technological, I see it as a beautiful mix of art, technology, and design.
Is there somebody who early on gave you good advice? What was it?
"The illiterate of the future will be the person ignorant of the use of the camera as well as the pen."—László Moholy-Nagy
If you could own any artwork in the world, price or availability no object, what would it be?
Moholy-Nagy's "Light Space Modulator," 1930.
If you were not an art dealer what would you be doing?
I am deeply engaged in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education. I'd most likely find a role for incorporating art into that endeavor.

My friends call me Ice . I am a "slave inventor". I know you must be wondering why i m calling myself a slave inventor.
I am an engineer by degree. But couldnt find good engineering work as was born in Asia. So, atlast became a software contractor with a software service provider.
2 years back, i sent some of my creative work to company's IP department. They reject some of them (as most of them were related to natural and mechanical science), but selected 1 of them for a patent filing. That was the most exciting moment of my life, I thought my all struggle will be over. It was a system to take decisions the way human do.
Touching story Ice,
I am a little confused. ( You stated 2 years back, i sent some of my creative work to company's IP department. They reject some of them (as most of them were related to natural and mechanical science), but selected 1 of them for a patent filing. ) Were you working for this company when you sent them your work ? Did you create them at home or work ?
If the work was created before your employment , what kind of employment doc, did you sign. Sounds' like you might of took the pipe up the old Wazoo if the work was done before employment. If thats the case someone took advantage of you. If not theres no need to feel bad, just chalk it up as experience.
They hired 2 attorneys from USA for the application and filing process. I worked with the attorneys for long 7 monthes along with my normal office work (gave 16 to 18 hours of my time to work).And it was filed.
Were you a saleried or hourly employee while working there . If you were hourly , that many hours for 7 months and you get $ 1000.00. Looks like the pipe and Wazoo are teamed up again.
But i realized soon that i wont be getting any royalty as its written in the terms of employment document (signed by me) that anything i create while being an employee will belong to the company.
All i got from the organization is 1000 $. It seems to me like a joke. I dont own any rights of the invention. I cant sell it. They just took it from me for free.
I am lying on my bed going through topics in this site. And see many of you "free inventors" so excited after inventing and owning the rights, and considering myself as a slave (in comparison to you).
What i need from you guys?... Nothing... just sharing my story or if you wana help ... give me some moral support.
Thanks for your Time.
Iceage wrote:Thank you guys for your replies. I am overwhelmed thinking "There are people in this world who really care for me".
And Gizmo.. for your questions.....
Yes, i was working with that company (and still working) when i send them my work. Its not actually my job to invent, i am just a java coader in that company. Most of the work i sent to them was done by me during my academics and at home hours. it was done as a hobby, i didnt know and still not sure that i can actually invent. So sent it to them in anticipatition and hope for a beter future.
The 1000 $ i got was an award to me from the company for inventing. I am paid monthy and not on hourly basis. So, even if i work 24 hours a day they will pay me only for 8 hours. And still after 2.5 years of experience my monthly salary is not more than 680 $.
I have worked with many great organizations of the world.. Amex, Barclays and AT&T. I am sure they pay smart money on hourly basis for me. But my own company actually pays a portion of it to me... They call it technology outsourcing
Money is not a question here... Question is ..my future, future of my wife and kid.
Almost every company have that IP agreement in their terms of employment. So, if i need a job i am left with no other option , but to sign it.

- Abstract
- An extensive suite of geotechnical laboratory tests were undertaken on wastewater biosolids to evaluate their sustainable usage as a fill material in road embankments. Geotechnical tests undertaken include particle size distribution, specific gravity, Atterberg limits, compaction, consolidation, hydraulic conductivity, California Bearing Ratio (CBR), field vane shear, direct shear and triaxial shear tests. The geotechnical tests indicated that biosolids are equivalent to organic fine-grained soils of medium to high plasticity with high moisture content and liquid limit values. Consolidation tests indicate that biosolids have similar consolidation characteristics to that of organic soils. Shear strength tests on compacted biosolids samples indicated relatively high internal friction angles, comparable to that of inorganic silts. Compacted biosolids samples exhibit a modest cohesion comparable to organic clays. CBR tests results indicate high deformation potential of biosolids. Chemical and environmental assessment tests indicated that heavy metals, Dichloro Diphenyl Trichloroethane (DDT) and Organochlorine Pesticides concentration along with pathogens (bacteria, viruses or parasites) results were within acceptable limits for usage in geotechnical applications. With regards to contaminants containing nitrogen, phosphorus and total organic carbon, the biosolids were found to require special protection, in the event there is potential leaching/flow to adjoining water bodies. The geotechnical testing results indicate that untreated biosolids have insufficient bearing capacity to enable its usage as a fill material. The biosolids will have to be stabilized with an additive or blended with a high quality material to enhance its geotechnical properties to enable it to be considered as an engineering fill material.

I wasn't sure which topic to post this under, hopefully someone here can help!
My LO is 4 months old and 15 pounds. He's always been around the 25-50th percentile for weight. He is at daycare while I work 11-12 hours a day (including commute). I nurse him before I leave (5:30am), when we get home (6:30pm), and before bed (8:30pm). He sleeps through the night (I wake him at 5:30). On average, he has a wet diaper about every hour while he's awake and has 1-2 dirty diapers a day. I pump two to three times a day, totaling 16-18 ounces while I'm at work (letting the pump run for at least 5 minutes after the last drops).
The problem we've run into: Eric drinks about 20-25 ounces of EBM at daycare every day. I've completely depleted my freezer stash in one month (125 ounces). I started taking Fenugreek and eating oatmeal every day, which is what gets me the 16-18 ounces (I was at 11 ounces). Overall, he's getting over 35 ounces of breastmilk a day (I've tried exclusively pumping for a day just to see how much I get) for the last month.
The daycare is concerned because he continues to be extremely mad/fussy when he finishes his bottles and will not calm down until they give another bottle, which he finishes! The bottles are 6 ounces each. Whenever my husband or I have given him a bottle on a weekend (which is not frequent) or occasionally after nursing, he will get extremely upset when you take the bottle or breast away to burp him- we're talking red/purple-in-the-face, full-blast-screaming. I'm thinking that's what he's doing at daycare, so they're freaked out that he's not getting enough.
I've read on KellyMom that 25 ounces is a generally reasonable daily amount. I know that's just a guidline, but shouldn't 35 ounces a day be more than enough? He's under ideal weight even with the supplement of my frozen stash, so he's obviously not overeating. Is it possible that my milk isn't "potent" enough to satisfy his hunger? Anyone else experience this? Is there anything I can do?

Rickey Green Chain Mouth Bit
The Rickey Green Chain Mouth Bit was designed for training, practice and competition. This western bit features a chain mouth that lies flat across the mouth and tongue, providing soft, even pressure and encouraging the proper head carriage. This bit is designed to help teach the horse to lift at the shoulder without "hardening" the mouth. Read more...
This Rickey Green Chain Mouth Bit features a pinchless mouthpiece shaped to lie flat across the mouth and tongue. It attaches to the shank in a manner that softly cues the horse as pressure is applied. Design allows for collection, helping the horse break at the poll, and the gentle action of the mouthpiece teaches a horse to lift his shoulder and prepare to stop. 5" mouth, 8" stainless steel cheek piece (3" purchase, 5" shank). Rickey recommends using a firm leather curb strap or flat chain, allowing the horse to feel and work off of the bit, rather than react to the pressure of a biting curb.
Premier product - this product is not eligible for any discounts off the purchase price.
Overall Rating: 3 StarsAverage Based on 1 Reviews Write a Review
We have a couple of these bits and are using them on our rope horses with pretty good success. I have has to adjust the curb strap a bit to find the "sweet" spot and the horses a responding very positively. We use them on both head and hell horses.

Monday, February 25th, 2013 Mill Valley Public LibraryCreekside Room7 PM (doors open at 6:45)Picturing Rural California | February 25th, 7:00pm During 2011, local writer and photographer Lisa M. Hamilton drove nearly ten thousands miles around California, gathering stories and photographing in places most people have never heard of: Surprise Valley, Lost Hills, Mecca. "I think the state's urban majority believes they already know rural California--what it looks like, who lives there, how they think. To put it simply, my intention was to prove them wrong, to show them that rural California is far more diverse and dynamic than any of us from the outside assume."
The result of her travels is "Real Rural," a multimedia portrait of rural California. Currently the work is the subject of a show at the California Historical Society, for which Hamilton paired her contemporary images with vintage photographs from the Society's collection dating back to the 19th century. In this library art lecture, Hamilton will explain how the work evolved, and discuss the art of storytelling through photographs.
