NYPA Activates Peak Load Management Program; New York City Customers Cut Peak Demand by More Than 50,000 Kilowatts
July 2, 2002
NEW YORK—To accommodate increased demand for electricity resulting from extreme summer heat, the New York Power Authority (NYPA) today activated its Peak Load Management program (PLM) to help reduce power usage during peak-demand hours. The action will cut electricity use in New York City by more than 50,000 kilowatts (kw), an amount equivalent to the output of more than one small power plant.
NYPA customers participating in its Peak Load Management Program receive $40 for each kilowatt of electricity they commit to save when called on during the high-demand months, from June through September. The Power Authority may make such requests for up to 15 weekdays during those months, with the standard duration of the reductions lasting up to six hours. The participants achieve the power cutbacks by implementing energy-saving measures such as turning off or dimming non-essential lighting and adjusting air-conditioning settings, and using their own on-site generators. The Power Authority began the program as a demonstration project in 1999.
Among the participants in the program are New York City government, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), the City University of New York, the State University of New York, and Salomon Smith Barney.
New York Power Authority Chairman Louis P. Ciminelli said, "NYPA's Peak Load Management program is part of a statewide effort to reduce the peak demand for electricity to assure the reliability of New York State's electricity supplies."
New York State government has assumed a leadership role in developing demand response and energy efficiency initiatives through the inter-agency task force for the Coordinated Electricity Demand Reduction Initiative (CEDRI). The task force includes NYPA, the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority (NYSERDA), Long Island Power Authority (LIPA), and the State Public Service Commission (PSC). CEDRI employs enhanced load management and demand response programs, distributed generation and public awareness campaigns to sustain the reliability of New York State's electricity supplies during the peak demand periods caused by summer heat.
In addition to the more than 50,000 kilowatts of demand reduction from NYPA's New York City customers enrolled in the Peak Load Management Program, NYPA has enlisted its customers throughout the state to commit to more than 360,000 kilowatts of energy reductions under separate contract arrangements or though New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) demand reduction programs.

Wisconsin utility scam
Wisconsin Public Service and Oconto Electric Cooperative are warning their customers that a scam has been reported in which the caller states the customer must pay their power bill over the phone with a credit card or the customer will be immediately disconnected.
Last week, a Wisconsin Public Service customer was contacted from a 414 area code. The caller said they were with Oconto Electric Cooperative and that they would be coming out to disconnect power as the customer was behind in paying his bills. The customer knew that he was not delinquent and was not an Oconto Electric customer. He contacted both utilities to report the scam.
The Green Bay Police are aware of these scams and are investigating.
There have also been reports that individuals have posed as Wisconsin Public Service employees and asked to gain access to their property.
Wisconsin Public Service field employees have company identification, wear Wisconsin Public Service logo'd apparel and will have clearly marked utility vehicles when at a customer's home.
Wisconsin Public Service wants to remind the public again that the utility would not ask you to purchase a prepaid card to pay your bill over the phone nor will the utility ask a customer to meet with them regarding paying a bill. It's field representatives are not authorized to accept payments.
While Oconto Electric Cooperative does call members who are delinquent and eligible to be disconnected for non-payment, OEC customers are encouraged to go to the cooperative's website and pay online as a safe and secure way to pay their bills immediately and avoid being disconnected.
Both utilities stress that if anyone calls stating they are representing a utility, write down the phone number and a contact name, hang up and call the utility company to verify the information.
At that time the utility call handler can help with billing questions or verify if work is being done in an area by the utility. Also report any phone calls that cannot be verified by a utility either to the police or to the utility.
Also, customers should report this scam attempt to the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection 608-224-4953 or 800-422-7128 who is tracking all statewide scam attempts.
Experts also offer the following advice to prevent scams:
– If you get an email, text message or pop-up message that asks for personal or financial information, do not reply or click on any links.
– If you are concerned about your financial accounts, contact your institution using a telephone number you know to be genuine or visit the institution in person. You can confirm information regarding financial institutions by contacting the Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation at 1-877-999-6442 or checking online at www.michigan.gov/ofir.
– Use anti-virus and anti-spyware software, as well as a firewall, and update them all regularly.
– Don't email personal or financial information.
– Review credit card and bank account statements as soon as you receive them to check for unauthorized charges.
– Be cautious about opening any attachment or downloading any files from emails you receive, regardless of who sent them.
– Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number.
– Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice" through the U.S. mail.

2011 was another year where Mountain Bikers of Santa Cruz knocked it out of the park! Since 2007, the club membership and participation, fundraising, events and activities have been growing. Our ability to raise funds, engage volunteers, land managers and decision makers really broke through this year.
First of all: Thank you to the volunteers, attendees and donors who have made MBoSC and our events so successful! It's so rewarding to all of us to see the community come together on a shared passion for the local dirt. We have earned a great reputation as an organization who are easy to work with and can get things done. We are making progress toward getting more bike access in public lands.
Some of our larger accomplishments this year…
- In March the IMBA Trail Care Crew trained 40 of us on sustainable trail building techniques and we practiced it on the Zane Gray trail in Wilder Ranch. Event weekend included a diverse crowd of land managers, trail builders and riders. Support from the bike industry and local shops. It was a very productive visit.
- The Santa Cruz Mountain Bike Festival was a knockout and exceeded our wildest expectations. This community supports mountain bike events! Thanks to volunteers and supporters like you! We had well over 2000 attendees and raised $16K towards Aptos bike parks. We intend to hold the 3rd Santa Cruz Mountain Bike Festival April 4-15, 2012 in Aptos. It should be a great show. You'll enjoy it.
- At the Sea Otter Classic in April we raffled off a Santa Cruz Carbon Nomad and raised $11K for the Pogonip multi-use trail.
- We helped with the XTerra event in Wilder Ranch with course design, marking and volunteer course marshals. It was a great way to demonstrate the Santa Cruz experience to an international audience.
- This summer we helped launch Trips for Kids Santa Cruz. T4KSC is committed to giving at-risk youth the experience of mountain biking by providing the equipment, transportation, moral support and skills instruction to help kids discover our sport. This is a great cause to support. Consider donating time or money to this cause.
- In August mbosc went to Tahoe to do trail work with other northern California clubs. There was another trip to Downieville to ride and enjoy the trails.
- In August, we partnered with "Take Back Santa Cruz" on a Pogonip cleanup event. About 40 of us pulled out 15 yards of trash and waste. Folks got to see first hand the type of trail experience we'll get.
- The Pogonip Multi-Use trail was progressing. After a brief setback from the resignation of Park Superintendent Steve Hammack, new Park Superintendent Mauro Garcia took on the project and moved forward. We completed the public comment period for the environmental review and will be heading the Parks Commission and then to City Council in Q1 2012.
- We donated $2,500 to State Parks to help with the conversion of a hiking only Skyline Trail in Castle Rock to multi-use. This trail is currently in construction and will be ready by the end of January.
In between we rode together, ate together and had profound discussions over pitchers of beer around Santa Cruz, Aptos, Soquel, Monterey and other places in the great state of California!
2012 is going to be a year of opportunity. Our focus on the first part of the year will be the Pogonip multi-use trail, raising funds with the Santa Cruz Mountain Bike Festival and a custom Caletti bike raffle at the Sea Otter Classic. The second half of the year we are planning to implement the Pogonip multi-use trail, participate in the Soquel Demo State Forest trail plan and work on the Enchanted Loop reroute in Wilder Ranch. The 14,000 acres around Davenport represented by Coast Dairies/CEMEX properties will start to appear on our radar again. We are a volunteer organization and are looking for your help to accomplish our goals. Please consider being a member, donor and/or volunteer some of your time.
We live interesting times. The fundamentals of the economy is being questioned. The status quo is challenged and a new generation is rising to lead the path to a sustainable existence. Mountain bikers have demonstrated qualities that can help ease us through some of our local issues to create a bold new future for our community.
Have a healthy, happy and prosperous 2012! See you on the trails!

The production staff's take on the "assignment" of watching lots of TV for the last TV show with Diane Winston.
Diane Winston appreciates good television, studies it, and brings many of its creators into her religion and media classes at the University of Southern California. In what some have called a renaissance in television drama, we examine how TV is helping us tell our story and work through great confusions in contemporary life. And, we play clips from The Wire, House, Lost, and Battlestar Galactica.

Share a Reflection
My wife turned me on to your program and I have enjoyed the different turns and depths it explores. I am a little leery of the television discussion when there are programs such as Mad Men and in the recent past Eli Stone, both of which address moral issues in our troubled world. I have tried Lost but hardly find it relevant to the discussion. Maybe I should look at Battlestar Gallactica!
I, too, was captivated by Battlestar Gallactica and at the same time found it one of the most difficult shows I've ever "had" to watch. For me, it was the quintessential shadow drama, each character offering a different dimension of the personal interior we all possess…the passion, dedication and possibilities for cruelty that lie within. Earlier this year before she passed away, my spiritual teacher said we are in a time where we must integrate our negativity -- where that which is negative is not just simply killed but dismantled in a particular way where the valuable components can then reform with the other aspects of our inner psyche to create something more empowered and up to great challenges -- Battlestar was a story about this very development and rather than the happy ending of the myths of our past, there was simply another challenging beginning. After all it was no mean feat for all those characters to walk off at the end of the last show to forge new beginnings on a planet offering little more than potential.
Another thing that caught me up about the show was how the line between good a bad was often blurred almost out of recognition, giving insight into the complexity of real transformation. It was never a case of the bad guys losing and the good guys winning, the light over the dark. Everyone had to change, give up strong beliefs and attitudes, and face things in themselves they would have never known existed without the circumstances they encountered. Being a transpersonal psychologist, I also appreciated that rather than portraying a kind of buildup to an ultimate battle, this series was more about cyclical processes full of breakings, reforming and refining, piece upon piece -- more authentic to the complexity of our inner development as well as the challenges that face us in our outer lives.
I am a total outer space show devotee…:) And I couldn't help but notice the sharp contrast in style of, for example, Star Trek, TNG and Battlestar. Where Star Trek was so much more gentle in offering its thoughts for the type of human we might become, Battlestar was constantly in our faces, expressing a desperate urgency that reflects the times we live in today and deftly took us into the deep struggles necessary to get to that which Star Trek promised.
The questions about home reflected in the show are compelling: "Where is home? Is "home" truly what we think it is? What does it take to get there? And when we do arrive, what is required to live into the essence of it? Since moving to Thailand, I've reflected often about the nature of this concept of home, both in the inner and outer. While the concept of home might offer a comfort and continuity, it also can be an agent of separation. I think we're all going to have to shift our sense of home in an expansive way, stepping out of the familiar, out of that sort of sense of home as "mine" to embrace home as a place where even strangers are included and honored.
Thank you for all you do. Every SOF presentation is a treasure.
My image: a peek at the gentle Thai life.
A child in the 50s, my TV watching was limited by parental control (e.g. kids shows, family entertainment, Disney & later on the occasional movie, Rod Serling, et al). My observation is that in my formative years I had strong, but not rigid, family guidance. That has informed my subsequent TV viewing (and a LOT else GRIN!).
But I found spiritual-moral issues in virtually every show I ever remember - from Howdy Doody to Rocky & Bullwinkle to Mork & Mindy (well, maybe not from Lawrence Welk or Mickey Mouse Club). It seems to me that the consideration of moral-ethical questions from TV is far, far more a function of personality and up-bringing than it is the nature of the shows themselves.
For the last three years I've taught a course on producing a pilot of a tv series. It has been fascinating to watch students create their own post-9/11 narratives. Student work sometimes imitates what's on the screen but, mercifully, this has not been the case so far in this class. All 16 members of the class pitch a story and gradually the whole class settles on the one it most wants to produce. All students write at least one scene, then each student takes a creative role in the production. (We use professional actors and even build our own sets!). The students are all very concentrated on their individual roles, and yet the projects themselves are thematically fascinating -- dealing with their own identity (and sexual identity), with malevolent authority, and with their perceived conflict between "life" and "work." It was mentioned in the program that watching tv is something of a ritual activity. I would like to propose that the creative act of producing a tv show (under the right circumstances, with creative and committed people) can also be a rewarding, empowering, and creative experience. TK (Emerson College, Boston.)
Even when I miss it, due to my aversion to violence, formulaically generated conflict, and television in general, I'm heartened more and more frequently by the demonstrations of shifting consciousness in the art of screen drama and entertainment.
I confess that, while I don't own a television set, I managed -- made it a point -- to watch each episode of ELI STONE, which had great meaning for me personally. I recognized that that show, like my own life, would not be for everyone. Yet, despite its flaws, and a certain surface slickness and flipness, I was inspired and nourished by all that was going on in, or-- dare I say it -- coming through the program, what was dancing between the words, themes and portrayals.
My gratitude that it lasted as long as it did (nearly two seasons) tempers my sadness and withdrawal in the wake of its cancellation, which, though lamentable, comes as little surprise. I will miss it, with an aching loving memory, as I will miss my dying father. Every thing has a life span, and leaves its blessings to be long savored and honored.
The fact that more and more intelligent, positve and thoughful transmissions like this are cresting above the surface of the pablum is very hopeful indeed, for all of us, whether we choose to watch them or not!
I loved this story and I anticipate listening to the uncut version.
Both you and your guest made references to "Lost," "Battlestar Galactiga," and a few others. What surprised me was your lack of attention to the various incarnations of Gene Roddenberry's "Star Trek." While I like all the various series, my favorite is 'Star Trek - The Next Generation," and it was in this series, I think, that Gene Roddenberry's vision, his optimism, came through most clearly.
In one episode, Mark Twain questions Counselor Troi about this big star ship, which no doubt has weapons that can destroy entire cities. He goes on about the various species that work on this star ship, who, he perceives, are the few, the privileged, while the poor, he contends there is nothing left for them.
The counselor asks him, "Is that what you think? We've come a long way since the 20th century and we've left many things behind, among them, poverty, hopelessness, despair - those are things of the past."
It took some convincing, but finally Mr. Clemens relented, stating, "Well, I guess there are some things worth giving up cigars for, after all!"
I've always appreciated Gene Rodenberry's vision for the future, and it's my hope that we get at least part way there.
Didn't anyone stop to think that today's show was about as vacuous as they come? The professor's comments had no depth. You could have introduced her, let her state her thesis that today's TV reflects the tenor of the times, and moved on to a more interesting topic. The comments about the unempowered Samantha and Jeannie were trite. The snippets from the TV shows: (i) demonstrated that scripted shows are reducing their pacing to that of soap operas -- I've seldom heard anyone say such obvious things so slowly -- and (ii) reinforced the recent BBC interview that highlighted how much serious thinking/worthwhile acting/involvement with others -- even fun -- that we all could achieve in the time we now spend on the isolating, one-way medium of televison.
As for the professor's comments about the types of shows now popular, she seems to ignore the fact that in TV, movies, etc., when a show becomes successful, it is immediately copied (almost invariably in a less expensive way) until the audience tires of the genre, format, etc. Often, shows don't refelct the spirit of the times, as much as they do reflect the ability to turn a quick buck.
A few years ago, I was pondering the question of violence on TV / Video games and all the "there is no correlation" comments between crimes various programs / games. I was also pondering / recalling some other things...
A discussion with a holocaust survivor, for instance, wherein he described how the horrendous conditions in the camps quickly became "normal" -- he observed that people very quickly adapt to "normal".
I thought about how I learned what it meant to be "a man / whatever" == stories I was read / told / read myself / movies / plays ... TV.
The point being that in this day, TV and video games define "normal" for those who watch them -- particularly those who watch / play a lot.
Tell me, which view of the world would you prefer to define "normal" for your children: Leave it To Beaver / It's a Wonderful Life or Law and Order / South Park / Grand Theft Auto ?
That question is probably not even the most significant one -- what kind of "normal" activity is generally seen on TV? Seems to me we've done a wonderful job with the past 50 years worth of crime shows on TV in making lying, cheating, and stealing "normal", and studying hard and being honorable as "laughable".
Perhaps we need to teach our story creators the sacred duty they are undertaking and explain that they, in a very real sense, determine the future their children will be living in.
I've been catching up online on missed episodes of SOF--just the best company as I sit and quilt. (Food for the mind to go with treats for the eye.) How intriguing to learn that Krista is also a Battlestar Galactica fan. I came to the series late, after friends whose opinions I respect told me, "You HAVE to watch this series!" Boy, were they right. I'm heartbroken that it's over but looking forward to the soon-to-begin spin-off, Caprica, which will take us back to the origins of the human-Cylon struggle. Lots of good philosophical potential there.
I do have one question about SOF music: is the theme that plays at the intro to each segment (the piano monotone) not borrowed from Galactica? Long before I'd heard this episode, I thought of the TV series every time I heard those rhythmic tones begin.
TV and parables of our time
Diane Winston is an instructor and journalist at the
USC. Her classes includes TV and Faith. Religion has a more prominent
subject in TV. Entertainment narratives and storytelling is very
powerful resource to influence the audience perceptions of the world.
Actually, Diane thinks that we underestimate that power. She states,
"We underestimate the power of entertainment narratives to influence
the way we look at the world" (TV and parables of our time).
TV and meaning has grown into a new deeper meaning. It
has grown into a new level than ever before. Two reasons why it has
changed is due to the advance in technology and responding to hard times
especially post 9/11. Shows like House, ER, Grey's Anatomy take on
issues of medical ethics. The creator of House, David Shore visited
Diane Winston in her classroom. She states that David has two older
brothers that are actually Orthodox Rabbis in Israel. David is no
stranger to religion. However, he isn't very religious like some may
thing. David states that each show has an ethical problem at it's
center. They present ways to the public to think about issues, medical
issues. The show then provides a clip of House with a central medical
issue. A patient of House wants to just give in and basically die. The
problem then leads to Chase stating that they should give him a syringe
with morphine. The
ethical problem is that it is wrong to help a man commit suicide, but
however, is it? Shouldn't we help a man who is going to die a painful
death end his misery? This is a prime example of how TV has evolved.
TV isn't going to replace literature, Diane states. Two
central issues has appeared on television recently, mortality and
heroes. Shows like the Ghost Whisperer deals with the fear of death.
It deals with the hope that something lies beyond death. Diane states
that post 9/11 has skewed our views of heroes. She states that heroes
now are anti-heroes. We may not like them but we depend on them. Shows
like 24 and House depicts that.
TV engages us with spiritual moral ethical questions.
Questions that people face includes:
1. Why are we here?
2. What am I doing?
3. Who's important to me?
4. Why does it matter?
5. What's going to happen to me after I die?
TV entertainment is helping the people deal with those questions through
storytelling and narratives. One example is in the show Lost. The
characters deal with extreme situations with those questions.
This new generation of TV shows deals with questions of
identity and ethics. Diane states that many don't look at TV this way.
However, once they learn about it then they realize that they can see
it. They watch the shows differently after that. They are more open to
the differences and can reach spirituality better. I agree with Diane.
I never looked at it this way but once you are aware of it then you will
see it more and more while watching TV. The ethical problem in House
never appeared to me in a religious context but now I see it. However,
now you see it all the time. I think television is a great outlet and
I'm not surprised that they display some of the questions that we face.
Dear Krista, After reflecting on your program about new television serials and modern culture, I decided to try watching Battlestar Galactica. Having just finished season 4.5, I thank you for the recommendation. It was profound, compelling, spiritually provocative, and fulfilled my craving for deep narrative. Sadly, though, BG is now finished and I'm looking for a new show. Because I am an avid listener of your show, and now your voice often comes into my internal dialogue, I want to invite you to join me in looking again at Deadwood. Although, I don't rate Deadwood as highly as BG, DW is a very different glimpse of fallen humanity and spirit. On the special features disc of Season 1 (listed as Disc 6), creator David Milch has a featurette entitled "The new language of the old West." I do not like the rough language of the series, but I recommend this interview to you because frankly David Milch is a person I think you might find fascinating. He prays before beginning work each day and talks about the spirit entering the work. (He also addresses the device of language in building the DW scene). Just a thought.Peace in the new year, Amy M.
As a latchkey kid raised by the small screen, Bill Cosby was in essence my dad and Michael J. Fox, my big brother. Thanks to this episode, I've identified with characters in the modern parables in Lost and the Wire. From 'Lost', I find Jack Sheppard and Hugo as my contemporaries trying to help others find their way through life. 'The Wire' hits home countless times with us as we're working with NFL players and college students to mentor at risk youth both behind bars and in foster care group homes. I talk with teens just like Bodie- lost in a game where there are no winners- and feel the very real presence of the Stringer Bell's and Avon Barksdale's of the world. Thanks NPR and Speaking of Faith for bridging that gap and introducing me to a whole new generation of characters that give me a reference and compass while a walk the new terrain of adulthood.

Skip to comments.New Shale Formation in West Texas could Dwarf the Bakken
Posted on 02/03/2013 8:23:34 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
The US shale boom has led some to predict that it will overtake Saudi Arabia as worlds largest oil and gas producer by 2020, thanks to the massive reserves found in plays such as the Bakken Shale of North Dakota, the Marcellus Shale in New York, and the Eagle Ford Shale in Texas; even the newly discovered Tuscaloosa Shale formation in Louisiana holds large potential.
However there is a new shale formation that has been discovered in West Texas which could dwarf all others being drilled in the US at the moment.
The play is known as the Cline Shale play and has been discovered in the Permian Basin.
John Breyer a geologist at Marathon Oil Corp.(NYES: MRO) said that this new discovery could dwarf anything that exists in North Dakota...
(Excerpt) Read more at oilprice.com ...
Wouldn't that be an OLD formation?
speculative..... pump and dump stock scheme ?
Has China bought up all the land rights yet?
I have mineral rights to land in that area, and let me assure you this is not a "pump and dump". There has been a flood of leasing offers and offers to purchase the mineral rights for vast sums of money the past 9 months or so.
Doesn't matter.
The EPA is going to shut down fracking anyway.
I hope this is true, but... I can see the government using the resulting tax revenue to pay down the debt, and then beginning a new spending binge.
Old and previously inaccessible.
You didn't frack that.
You can still smell oil in the Permian basin.
Will Obama put extra effort into shutting it down because this is Texas, or might he back down because of the same?
True, or a mirage?
Looks like a great time to be in the Republic of Texas. Funny how NY doesn't even want to touch Marcellus and Utica shale. Two different States of mind.
"Will Obama put extra effort into shutting it down because this is Texas, or might he back down because of the same?"
President Obama hasn't really backed down from anything yet, so I don't see him dropping his commitment to fighting climate change anytime soon regardless of the state.
Small potatoes....the recently discovered New Monterey Shale in California...runs from San Jose to LA weighs in at 500 Billion barrels.
Both eclipsed by the Green River Formation with 3 Trillion barrels of which over 1 Trillion is recoverable with today's technology.
The Rand Corporation, a nonprofit research organization, estimates that 30 to 60 percent of the oil shale in the Green River Formation can be recovered. At the midpoint of this estimate, almost half of the 3 trillion barrels of oil would be recoverable. This is an amount about equal to the entire world's proven oil reserves. ...
If he's as smart as his minions believe, he will make the wise decision not to go up against Governor Rick Perry and Attorney General Greg Abbott on this one.
Seriously, ALL of the oil in all of the shale in the US would not begin to pay down our debt.
Chairman Maobama must not be allowed to prevent development of these resources.
The Green River formations are oil shale and are not feasible: some day, perhaps, but not now.
He may leave this alone as West Texas has far less population that NY and PA, so fracking and potential water damage would be less likely. Also, with so much potential I wonder if US oil interests may lobby against facilitating competition with Canada and the FX Pipeline. The FX run south from Cushing makes sense with so much US oil potential.

That statement is not factually accurate.
Remember: There are billions of barrels we can recover today that were out of our reach just decades ago. That means that technology soon will probably give us that which is now impossible to reach. Plus, some new form of energy is almost certainly bound to appear before we use up fossil fuel.
"He may leave this alone as West Texas has far less population that NY and PA, so fracking and potential water damage would be less likely."
While the pollution problems associated with fracking would impact less people in West Texas, President Obama's greater concern is about climate change. Because continued dependence on fossil fuels will delay the transition to alternative fuels, I think the EPA will still kill fracking.
He is in for an education.
He has opened pandora's box with the gun grab BS. Not just in TX. He has not got enough stupid goons to do what he would like to do.
And it is not just the citizens of Texas that are defying Obozo. The State officials are right there too.
A time is coming when his conjured past is going to eat him alive. The most corrupt administration in the history of the U.S.
If those fields are so great, why is CA bankrupt?
AGW/Climate Change BS
You won't last long here Troll.
How much gas is likely to be recovered versus how much oil. Gas as fuel is a lot less air polluting, so the ratio might affect decisions. Also, the Canadian tar sands oil production is far more polluting that underground oil shale.
It would if dollars were inflated til oil was about $1000/barrel.
On a related note, recent price of gasoline is $0.16/gal priced in pre 1965 US silver coinage...
According to Wikipedia, as of 2005, the US had reserves of 2 trillion barrels of shale oil. Oil is near $100 a barrel right now. So technically we do have enough shale oil to pay down our debt and even our unfunded liabilities. But it is pretty disturbing how much of this enormous resource we would have to sell off to pay down our debt.
What pollution problems associated with fracking? Some drilling mud which is already required to be processed and disposed of properly?
The alleged subsurface problems are about 99% bulls***...
I love peak oil! It just keeps peaking and peaking and ... ;^)
Therein lies the problem...the oil is still in the ground and likely to remain there for some time.
Gas went up again today.
I laugh every time I hear people seriously talking about "Peak" oil.
Ten years after Drake's well came in they were predicting that oil had peaked and we would be dry in a few years.
In the last ten years there is a report every few months of a new find that DWARFS the last big find. DWARFS it. lol
Climate change is BS... most people who are clear thinkers and not brainwashed by propoganda know this.
Also, most clear thinking people are ok with current fuels, as alternative fuels dont really exist or work well in the marketplace...
Meanwhile, Obama is furiously studying ways of thwarting this discovery as well as all the others. Are armadillo lizards an endangered species?
Quick, obama, declare the whole area a National Park! We gotta stop this energy independence kick, otherwise, how are the Arabs going to fund the Muzzlem Brotherhood and al-Qaeda?
Except that oil, unlike coal is not a fossil fuel. It is created by the decomposition of rocks in the earth's mantle.
Some people just aren't good at math.
Ugh. Good point.
I saw trillions and did some quick math. But, sheesh, you're right.
Pay dirt: The demand for land in the Cline Shale region
Commercial property listed in Cline Shale region selling within 24 hours
As Cline Shale boom expectations mount, the residual effects of recent increases in oil and gas industry activity are apparent in skyrocketing demand for property.
Regional property demands are keeping pace with energy industry buzz generated as interest in the Cline Shale grows. In a collective attempt to stay ahead of the oil boom curve and protect resident interests, local officials gather monthly to provide updates and voice concerns surfacing as drilling increases.
The demand for Cline Shale property took center stage at the Jan. 16 Cline Shale meeting in Snyder, where community leaders across the region reported increasing demand for residential, commercial and industrial property.

Sorry about the quality of the shots.
Blouse: BR
Jeans: Gap
Sweater: Anthropologie

Oh I saw these trousers on the Gap website the other day and liked them but seeing them on you make me love them. They seem like they're the perfect length and super flattering. Love your wrap sweater as well. Great outfit finished off with the hat!

That row of buttons down the back of your shirt is totally adorable. Did you add them yourself? Great hat too, and your hair looks fab!

Kat, the shirt was made that way. I have a fantastic Elizabeth and James plaid shirt with the same button detailing. Makes an otherwise manly shirt very feminine.

you still look fab regardless of the picture quality :) I adore those jeans, I'm so pumped to pull out my wide leg jeans too. It looks so cute with the gingham blouse, I may have to copy this look! :)

- LyddieGal said...
Perhaps you switched the quality setting from high to low? Changed the ISO from low to high? Adjusted the exposure to over expose?
I'd say your best bet is to download your camera's manual (getting it electronically makes it so much easier to search!) and then you can find out which settings you need to adjust.
BUT like everyone else has set, bad photos or not, this outfit is fab!

Advanced Micro Devices said this week that it would start shipments of more advanced processors and core-logic sets aimed at cost-effective ultra-thin notebooks in late Q2 2009. The company also noted that it has design wins with its platform code-named Congo.
"We will start shipping Congo at the end of this quarter. […] We will have designs into which we will be shipping in the back half of this quarter," said Robert Rivet, chief financial officer of Advanced Micro Devices, during a conference call with financial analysts.
AMD's Congo platform is based on dual-core code-named Conesus dual-core central processing unit (AMD Athlon Neo X2) as well as AMD RS780M + SB710 core-logic set that features ATI Radeon HD DirectX 10-class graphics core as well as ATI Avivo HD hardware high-definition video post-processing engine.
Other details, such as clock-speeds of central processing units (CPUs), cache sizes, etc. are not known at the moment. It is even unknown whether the new processors will be made using 45nm or 65nm process technology. Earlier this year AMD said that power-consumption of the dual-core Athlon Neo X2 chips would not exceed that of single-core AMD Athlon Neo products, which means that it would stay in the range of 15W.
"Our upcoming Congo platform will extend the performance range affordable, ultra thin computing with the incorporation of dual-core CPUs and our 7-series chip sets. […] We are happy with the design win momentum that we have around Congo," said Dirk Meyer, chief executive officer and president of AMD.


text: Check your carb vent hoses, if they are missing, have a hole in them or are unshielded from crosswinds they wiil cause a fuel delivery problem. -----Original Message----- From: Ped [mailto:pedmail at dbmail.dk] Sent: Friday, April 20, 2007 12:35 PM To: Kawasaki GPZ1100 discussion Subject: Crosswind sensitive GPZ (sorry - long) Hi all, I could use some advice on this: Since the beginning of this season my trusty old GPZ has become sensitive to gusty crosswinds from the LEFT. Always from the left. If I ride at 50-55 mph (80-90 km/h) gusty winds from the left causes the engine to hesitate slightly (like fuel starvation) and a strong gust can simply make the engine die. It takes a good handful of throttle to get it running again. Obviously this causes a very uneven ride. It I ride at motorway speeds (80 mph - 130 km/h) the problem is barely noticeable, probably because of more throttle. There are never any problems in no wind conditions or wind from any other direction than left. The bike runs as smooth as ever, idles fine and mileage is the same as last year. The Suzuki I had before had the same problem when I got it. It turned out that because the seat frame was so flexible, a gap would open between the seat and the tank once you sat in the seat, and turbulent air in that area could cause the engine to surge in gusty winds. A piece of foam glued underneath the front end of the seat where it meets the tank was all it took to solve the problem. Because of that I have focused on turbulent air near the intake as a probable cause. I have not done much maintenance in the intake area this winter, other than to clean the air filter, spray it with oil and install it again. So faulty carb installation or false air around the boots etc. should not be the factor here. I have tried the following: - Checked the air filter. It is installed and oiled correctly. - I thought the lid that closes the air box might not fit tight. I cut and installed an additional gasket. Still no change. - I put tape around the lid, and I'm sure it is air tight now. Still no change. - Checked whether the intake opening was obstructed by hoses, wires or something. No. - Checked whether the hose from the top of the air box to the valve cover was correctly installed. Yes. - Checked whether the drain hose was in place and closed. Yes. - Sealed all joints between tank, air box cover, side panel and seat with tape. Still no change. - Put cloth under the side panels to prevent the flow of air from the front. Still no change. - Drained the bowls (just in case). There was an equal amount of clear, clean gas coming out of all four. I've been focusing on turbulent air as a probable cause all the way because I thought "It's gotta be that", but I don't know what to look at next. The problem was not there last year - or ever before, now it's imminent. Any idea where I should look next? Any comment highly appreciated and thanks in advance. Ped '96 "Black Stealth" GPZ Denmark

Grass ( Almost done )
Do not mind the black box on the left, that is there for volumetric rendering testing! Which will be our cloud system we plan to debut shortly.
Jump to content
Got the lighting to work, now we need to fix the normals.
Looks good
Got the lighting to work, now we need to fix the normals.
Let the normals point upwards, that will lead to equally lit grass regardless where the grass surfaces are pointing at.
We fixed it!!
We have most of this figured out, now we have another issue to deal with but I will be making a post about that. Thank you bro
so, how does it look from above? are you happy with the results now? i've been following your grass threads, and it seens that this was really difficult...
anyway, from the set you posted, the one-picture-to-rule-them-all for me is the wasteland on the 4º picture (it looks like a wasteland at least =p)
I like the First Night image. The grass is very cool in that picture, with almost a plains feel. I think going with little patches out growing the flat parts gives a a lot of depth for a low cost.
Certainly, i have not setup the actual night lighting yet. So i have 3 different settings one with a hardcore night ( pitch black ) one with a semi lighted night, and one with the Skyrim lighting ( which is the one you liked ). We should have our skybox in today and with that we will have a very nice looking setup. I would argue our game doesnt look like an alpha but rather polished. Most of the textures are just basic though so I will have to go through and redo most of those with normals and speculars.
So those are the different sky lightings, there is no shadow on it as of yet and I am not sure I want one. I kinda like how it blends in... but we shall see
Are the above images more "zoomed" out then normal? I ask because I like the idea that the "extra grass" effect disappears as you scale away from the ground. Kind of like a bird's eye view. If not it is still amazing. Way better then an a standard alpha.
This is very much a zoomed out. As you zoom out further the grass will fade out.
Very nice! I wish I could be working on my game. Part of the reason I have not posted anything in awhile. However, you inspire me to clear more time for it.
Keep in mind that most of the terrain textures are placeholders... but this gives you a more detailed view of what it looks like.
Fits very well IMHO, you're doing good with that!
Thank you. We still have some issues with it but will resolve those shortly.

A group of evangelical leaders made headlines last week when they announced the formation of the Evangelical Climate Initative (ECI), a movement is intended to bring to bear the moral authority of these leaders on the question of global warming and climate change. Indeed, these Christians see their position tied up with a great responsibility: "Climate change is the latest evidence of our failure to exercise proper stewardship,and constitutes a critical opportunity for us to do better."
For many who talk about the biblical concept of stewardship of the earth, or "creation care," the practice of environmental responsibility is antithetical to the concerns of economics. Eugene Dykema, for example, writing for the Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN) – one of the groups behind the formation of the ECI – expresses a view of creation in which "everything is related to everything else." He continues, "Everything in relationship, everything in context is familiar to the field of ecology, but quite alien to the field of economics."
Whether or not his characterization of economics is accurate, his contrasting of environmental and economic concerns is clear. But this picture is misleading in a number of ways. Perhaps the most important point to recognize is the common foundation for our respective understandings of stewardship and economics. The two are related linguistically by their common Greek origins, and related theologically by their biblical usage.
The English word economics is derived from the Greek word οικονομία, which is a compound term literally meaning "house" (οικος) "order" (νομία), and it refers to the administration of a household. The person who ruled the household was called an οικονόμος, and this is usually rendered in English as "steward" or "manager."
The Bible uses these terms frequently, sometimes to refer to the providential work of God in redemptive history. But even in these cases, the more mundane analogue is another biblical use of the terms, regarding the everyday maintenance of a household in the Ancient Near East.
Joseph, for example, acted as the steward of Potiphar's household when he first arrived in Egypt (Genesis 39:2-6). Jesus tells the parable of the shrewd οικονόμος (manager) in Luke 16:1-15, who used his position over worldly wealth not as an end in itself but rather with eternal consequences in mind. Jesus concludes by saying, "No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money" (v. 13).
These few examples display the shared biblical origin of the terms economics and stewardship. Economics can be understood as the theoretical side of stewardship, and stewardship can be understood as the practical side of economics. Here in the Midwest, over the course of the winter we've heard a number of news reports about the dilemma facing households over the rise in home heating costs. Often, the decision must be made to pay only one of two bills: to pay the heating bill or buy food. Dire situations like these are ones in which tough economic decisions are made by the heads of households.
Far from being a discipline that explains all of human existence, in the biblical view, as we saw in the case of the shrewd manager, economics is the thoughtful ordering of the material resources of a householdor social unit toward the self-identified good end. Thus, if we hold a biblical view of economics and stewardship, we will not be tempted to divorce the two concepts but instead will see them as united.
On a larger scale, then, economics must play an important role in decisions about environmental stewardship. Economics helps us rightly order our stewardship. The fact that some advocates for political action on global warming are now attempting to propose economic arguments for their position is a positive step toward reconciling these two often estranged concepts.
Andy Crouch, for example, says that we have "much technological progress, energy security, and economic efficiency to gain if we act on climate change now." Sir John Houghton, Britain's leading climatologist, in testimony last year before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, claimed that with respect to the Kyoto Protocol, "future targets adopted are achievable and compatible with healthy economic growth." He also cites "economic and other benefits of increased efficiency" to U.S. industries from the reduction of carbon emissions.
The underlying unity of these concepts means that the conclusions, and to a greater extent the methodology, of the Copenhagen Consensus should have an important role to play in the formation of specific policy claims by environmentally concerned Christians. The idea of the consensus in 2004 was to take economic experts from around the world, evaluate various global threats (including global warming), and construct a "prioritized list of opportunities meeting the biggest challenges."
When economics tells us that there are much more imminent threats and opportunities than global warming, the proper approach to Christian stewardship is to heed these priorities and work to effect changes in the most pressing areas. This means that true Christian stewardship will first support efforts to control HIV/AIDS and malaria, provide micronutrients to those suffering from malnutrition, and reduce barriers to trade – and all with a view toward meeting the Great Commission.

While reading up on the latest trends and heeding expert advice can be a great way to figure out which products you should add to your makeup bag, it's always fun to hear which items celebrities swear by. Recently Diane Kruger told InStyle.co.uk about a few of her beauty tips.
"[I] boyfriend test [my perfume] with Josh," Kruger told the news source, referring to her man of four years, actor Joshua Jackson.
It seems that once she selects a boyfriend-approved scent, the blonde beauty applies her fragrance very strategically. "I spray it on my wrists, décolletage and under my armpits as I'm allergic to deodorants."
When asked about makeup, Kruger replied that she often plays up her arches. "Strong brows give me character," she added.
Women who want to emphasize their arches can do so with blinc Eyebrow Mousse. The lightweight formula clings to even the finest hairs to naturally enhance the appearance of one's brows, making arches appear fuller, thicker and more deeply colored.
American Spa magazine recently praised the product, stating that the Eyebrow Mousse "helps fill in sparse areas in the eyebrows, provides long-lasting color that does not fade or smudge, and can be easily removed with makeup remover."

I am a big fan of the 'blowing air under the skin' trick for getting pies to slide off the peel -especially when loaded up with toppings. It has really saved my bacon both literally and figuratively. I would think it would also work to slide the pie off a counter and onto a peel.
Good point. I did not think germs would survive the oven though. Edit: The more I think about it, the less probable it seems. The bottom of the pie is coming in direct contact with a 500-600 degree oven deck.
I don't see how a germ could survive the baking process. I think it's more of an optics thing (i.e., it might make people queasy). Maybe a bellows instead.

Team Dynamite – 4 vs. Rebels – 0
The Class A Region 5 Track Meet was held last week in Owenton.
As a team, the girls finished eighth and the boys finished fifth. As a result of several outstanding performances, the Rebels will be well represented this week at the KHSAA Class A State Track Meet.
Four members of the Runnin' Rebels were named to the Academic First Team All-State in recognition for the 2010-2011 basketball season. These boys maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.75-4.0, while representing OCHS on the basketball floor. This year's varsity Rebels had an average GPA of 3.53. Pictured are Jarrod Ball, left, and Tucker Trenary, right. Not pictured are Carson Williams and Justin Shelton.
Wrapping up his first year as a soccer coach for the Maurice Bowling Middle School boys soccer team, Derrick E. Clemons said he is encouraged with the progress the squad made since the start of the season.
"We finished the year with four wins, three loses and two ties. We started off with two wins in a row and feeling good about ourselves"
The team lost its first game of the season to Good Shepherd and followed it up with a tie with Frankfort and another tie with Grant County.
The Owen County baseball team entered the final week of the regular season having already doubled their win total from last season.
The team was hoping to finish the regular season on a positive note when they hosted Eminence Thursday and Villa Madonna Friday.
The Rebels did indeed finish strong as they defeated Eminence, 10-0 on the strength of a no-hitter by Freshman Jarrod Ball and then beat Villa Madonna, 11-4.
A week that began in the rain ended in the glow of sunshine and a win.
The Owen County softball team opened up last week by taking on Grant County at home. The game was played in less than desirable conditions — it was raining and cold. Not only were spirits dampened by the weather but also by the outcome of the game, for the Lady Braves defeated the Lady Rebels, 8-4.
The team bounced back Thursday night when they traveled to Frankfort and defeated the Lady Panthers, 14-0.
Owen County Primary School and Owen County Elementary School PTO officers — Dawn Davis, Shelli Hedger, and Kitty Cammack — recently presented a $10,000 check to Naomi Cornette, chief information officer for Owen County schools. This money, generated by a candy-bar fund-raiser, will be used to upgrade existing technology for both schools.
Michael Kincaid makes dean's list at Wesleyan
Michael Kincaid, a junior at Kentucky Wesleyan College, was named to the dean's list for the 2011 spring semester.
He is the son of Terry and Joan Kincaid of Owenton.
Wainscott named to Transylvania dean's list
Owen County High School graduate and Transylvania University senior Kenneth Wainscott has been named to the dean's list for the 2011 winter term.
The Owen County Conservation District will be awarding three $1,000 scholarships for the fall semester of 2011.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (480 votes).
In short: Great place, great raceIn full: For me and the flying swede (the missus) this was a great first marathon. Tips on the race:- enjoy the downhill for the first 8.6 miles but make sure you leave a lot in the tank as the later hills will make you pay.- gloves, maybe even headcovering would be handy on cold days to keep everything free from the chill until you warm up.- pee stops on the coach journey. Get someone to pretend to be sick so you can all pile off, worked for us though I think the sick note was genuine. It's a long drive out to the start when optimally hydrated. Sympathy to the lass who was caught pants down next to the coach as 30 blokes filed past.- Highland Taxis were great for transport post race.- leave your timing chip high up on your laces as it's easier for the chip extractors to get them off at the end.- the pasta party was good value for money.Acknowldgements;- marshalls/helpers and the crowd were uplifting.- attention to detail (apart from loos - which is a universal problem - loo marshalls at every event please!) was excellent. The feed up after the race was brilliant.- Pipers, more please they're like an extra gel bar. How about piping us across the bridge in Inverness.Final point - Runners World Official Chap - I'd love your job (obviously without the stretching targets and pressure ;-)!!Date of review: October 3, 2006
In short: Worst Weather I have ever raced in - though it propelled me to a PB. Even the hil lat 18 miles seemed easy because I couldn't see it! Credit to the the great support who braved the rainDate of review: October 3, 2006
In short: Perfect conditions and an inspiring undulating course. The camaraderie amongst all the runners was tremendousDate of review: October 3, 2006
In short: The best race I've taken part in. I will be doing it again!Date of review: October 3, 2006
In short: Lack of spectators made up for by the viewsIn full: This was my first marathon, and the Loch Ness did not disappoint. The views were stunning, the last 6 miles however were a struggle with limited support, but all the staff at the stations were very supportive. Despite the rain and small crowds, I had a great time, and I would definitely sign up for the event again. A real experience!Date of review: October 3, 2006
In short: If you've done FLM, do this marathon next. I did and loved it.In full: My second marathon, after this years FLM. Complete contrast and I loved it. Took 15 mins off my FLM time, so there is scope for a PB. The setting was fabulous. Pre race pasta party and post race food were just what was needed. Registration the day before couldn't have been easier or quicker. Crossed the line to cheering from the crowds and my name being read out over the tannoy which made the finish really special. Plus, the track finish meant my family were able to actually see me finish, unlike FLM. Well worth the 800 mile round trip!Date of review: October 3, 2006
In short: Everything was spot-on apart from the weatherIn full: This was lining up to be a special marathon experience until the glorious Highland weather intervened. To say that it is undulating would be an understatement - no major hills to worry about but there was nothing flat until well into the race. Well worth doing if you're looking for an autumn mara & there are also shorter races for friends & family to do on the same day.Date of review: October 3, 2006
In short: Brilliant!In full: Was hard, well in comparison with flm (my only other marathon) but I thoroughly enjoyed it. AND I got a pb by 41 minutes! The organisation was great, the pasta party was great, and the food afterwards was really welcome - hot soup and jacket potato after running in torrential rain! Can't wait to do this again next year.Date of review: October 3, 2006
In short: My first marathon, and I loved every minute, despite the tough course, horrendous rain and aching in my legs from 17 miles onwards. In full: Fantastic organisation and great support from locals in the country areas. The marshalls and young helpers at drinks stations were outstanding, even though they had too had to endure the cold and the rain!Date of review: October 3, 2006
In short: I dont know how i managed a pb here-but i am not the only one who didIn full: excellent race, with lovely scenery(when i could see it through the rain), some challenging hills and a personalised stadium finishIm susally a back marker-but there were a few behind me this year-and yes, the marshals waited for them allThe post race meal looked pretty good too(even if i couldnt eat it!)Superb event worht the 21 hours travelling it took to get there and backthankyouDate of review: October 3, 2006

I was 8 when this happened, so my memory surrounding the event was pretty hazy. I love that when Oakland went to Phoenix to play intersquad games, Eck plunked Canseco with his first pitch and they almost fought.
My favorite quote in the piece though has to be this one:
McCarver: Baseball has often been criticized for having games start at five or eight Eastern [Time] for big events like the World Series, but imagine if that hadn't been the starting time. Just imagine the casualties — because instead of people already at home ready to watch the game in the Bay area, it would've been more devastating because that would've been in rush hour.
Of course, the game was scheduled to start at 5pm Pacific time, 8pm Eastern time. Right in the middle of rush hour. Keep being you, Tim McCarver.

Strange ending to Brewers nine-game win streak
SAN DIEGO (AP) – The Milwaukee Brewers nine-game winning streak ended against a hot pitcher and in a strange way.
Edinson Volquez threw seven strong innings and Carlos Quentin hit his first home run of the season, helping the Padres snap Milwaukee's streak with a 2-1 victory over the Brewers on Wednesday night.
Trailing 2-0 in the ninth, the Brewers got back-to-back doubles with two outs off closer Huston Street. Martin Maldonado was then called out for running into his own batted ball outside the batter's box for the final out.
"You hate to go through a game and not do anything and end up losing, 2-0," said Brewers manager Ron Roenicke. "So to go into the ninth, getting people on base, gives you hope. Then you score a run and get really excited and then you end it in a goofy way."
The Brewers manager did not think that Maldonado was out of the batter's box when he got hit by the ball, but that is how home plate umpire Paul Emmel ruled.
Volquez (1-3) allowed just five singles, struck out three and did not walk a batter, lowering his ERA from 8.84 to 6.39 as San Diego ended a five-game skid. It marked only the fourth time in 127 starts that Volquez did not walk a batter and it was the first time that he has gone 7 plus innings without walking a batter.
"He was done in the zone," Roenicke said. "He had good command of all of his speed pitches. His changeup was really good. We just caught him when he was really on."
Quentin, whose eight-game suspension for a brawl against the Dodgers ended Tuesday, hit a shot into the third deck off Brewers starter Marco Estrada with one out in the fourth to open the scoring.
It was the seventh home run given up by Estrada (2-1) in five starts. He pitched 6 1-3 innings, allowing two runs, one earned, with two walks and three strikeouts.
"Marco had command from the first inning on," said Roenicke. "He did a great job. I liked what he did."
Luke Gregerson pitched a scoreless eighth for the Padres and Street came on in the ninth to get his third save in as many opportunities as the Padres also ended a seven-game losing streak at home.
Volquez also helped produce the Padres' second run in the fifth.
Nick Hundley singled with one out and Volquez laid down a sacrifice bunt. Catcher Jonathan Lucroy threw to first, where second baseman Rickie Weeks was waiting for the out. However, Hundley, after hesitating around second, headed for third. As he was approaching the bag, Weeks rifled the ball across the diamond to a shortstop Jean Segura, who was also heading for third, but the ball bounced in the dirt and wound up in foul territory in left field and Hundley scored.
"I was throwing strikes, no walks today, it was about time," laughed Volquez. "It was great. All my pitches were there, my curve was pretty good, my changeup. Everything was there I can't complain about anything tonight."

Tampa Bay's premiere Italian Resturant! -- Located in the heart of Ybor City
1811 North 15th Street, Tampa, FL 33605
(813) 241-2998
Welcome to the official website of Tampa Bay's premiere Italian restaurant, The Laughing Cat Bistro. Named after one of Executive Chef Franco LoRe's favorite haunts in Venice, Italy, The Laughing Cat Bistro brings the gourmet cuisine and laid-back atmosphere of a European bistro to historic Ybor City.
We started in the year 2000 as a small carryout & pizza place on 15th Street in Ybor city. The Cat quickly outgrew its original home and moved across the street into the historic El Encanto building at the Southwest corner of E. 8th Ave & N. 15th Street, where we welcomed friends old and new to enjoy the pleasures of good company and the finest in food and drink.
As 2011 arrived, it was clear that The Cat had once again outgrown it's home. Cat's don't like to wander far from home, so in September of 2011, we moved across the street to the Southeast corner of E. 8th Ave & N. 15th Street. This new space finds us with double the seating capacity, a banquet room, and The Cat Bar.
