Collection Methods
Make a list of insects found at the nature center. How would that list compare to insects found in another area? Using similar techniques, collect insects in a different habitat area or in a schoolyard. Note differences, if any, in the collection and in the habitat.
Abdomen (insect) – the posterior section of an arthropod's body, behind the thorax or the cephalothorax
Body (insect) – the entire structure of an insect, including the head, antennae, mouthparts, thorax, wings, legs and abdomen
Habitat – an arrangement of food, water, shelter or cover, and space suitable to animals' needs
Head (insect) – anterior of the three body regions of an adult insect which bears the eyes (usually a pair of compound eyes), the antennae and the mouthparts
Insect – invertebrate animal of the class Insecta of the phylum Arthropoda with an exoskeleton, three sets of jointed legs, a segmented body made up of head, thorax, abdomen, and typically one or two pairs of wings
Metamorphosis – a change in the form and often habits of an animal during normal development after the embryonic stage. Examples include a maggot changing into an adult fly and a caterpillar into a butterfly, and in amphibians, the changing of a tadpole into a frog.
Thorax – in insects, one of the three main divisions of the creature's body where the wings and legs attach

School's about to resume for another year and we wouldn't be being honest if we didn't exhale loudly and appear a little relieved. The holidays are a double-edged sword; yes, it's lovely having the children home but six weeks is a long time to provide endless entertainment for a generation used to concepts such as self-entitlement and choice. For those who doubt this scientifically untested assertion I urge you to engage your child in a conversation about rights and privileges. When I attempted this with my then 10-year-old I was amused to discover that his idea of rights extended to endless screen-time, being able to stay up as long as he liked and various other eye-popping concepts that certainly aren't included in the United Nations manifesto.
When I informed him that his father and I were obliged only to feed, clothe and shelter him as well as provide him with access to education and medical and legal assistance should he require it, I was met with such utter disdain that needless to say there was an extended period of time out for both of us.
Of course, the school holidays are not all bad. Budget permitting, you can gauge how well behaved they can be when you take them somewhere which requires a certain level of social decorum, such as using a knife and fork properly, or asking for something using please and thank you in a voice that doesn't exceed normal decibel ratings. They even manage to be nice to each other sometimes, all of which makes the school holidays worth it in the end.
To celebrate the light at the end of the tunnel, why not treat them to a new pencil case for the start of the school year? You could even let them choose the material while at the same time letting them know that this is a privilege, not a right.
Step 1 - Wash remnant if necessary. Cut 2 rectangles 27cm x 17.5cm. Make a template if needed. With right sides facing, centralise zip on top opening edge and mark the ends of the zip with a pin. Remove the zip but leave marker pins to indicate zip position. Pin entire top seam. With a 1.5cm seam allowance sew section before marker pin and then switch to a baste stitch for the middle section (where the zip will go) and revert to a normal stitch for the end section after the second marker pin. Iron this seam open.
Step 2 - With wrong side facing re-position zip upside down over basted section of flattened seam, lining up teeth with seam join. Pin in place. Using zipper foot (baste first if necessary) sew zip in place as close as possible to the teeth and using lines on zipper tape as guide. Flip to right side and unpick basting over zip.
Step 3 - Ensuring that zip is open at one end, pin remaining seams together (1.5cm) and sew. Trim seam and cut corners on diagonal. Turn to right side through zip opening. Poke out corners with scissor ends. You may want to line lighter-weight material, in which case replicate the outer fabric, omitting zip. Match wrong sides together and hand sew in place along zipper tape.

• 1 18cm zip

Many factors in voting for Aberdeen school levy
Voters approve levy, worry about future of town
ABERDEEN, Idaho - Voters in Aberdeen's School District 58 have approved $275,000 every year for fives years to make much needed repairs in their schools.
"I think it's highly important, especially considering the state has completely cut our budgets," said first-grade teacher Catrina Duke.
Duke said the buildings are showing their age and literally falling apart.
"In our district we have leaking roof tiles, and one of them just caved in yesterday," Duke said. "So the kids are walking around garbage cans in the hallway as water is dripping from the ceiling."
She said this isn't the first time it's happened, detailing another ceiling cave-in in another first-grade classroom last year. She said it would have been an unthinkable tragedy if a child had been under the ceiling at the time.
Add in heating and cooling issues year-round, and she says this levy is past due. She feels the students learning environment directly affects their learning. Mayor Morgan Anderson agrees.
"You really don't like the levy, but you need it," Anderson said. "We use taxes to pay for the community, and the schools are part of that community, and they need money. So we have to levy the people to keep our schools going."
But there's more on voters' minds than their schools.
They're also thinking about jobs. Next spring the JR Simplot Company, which has been a major part of Aberdeen, is leaving and taking about 100 jobs with it. But does that mean those who will be jobless, their families and their taxpayer dollars will leave Aberdeen?
Considering the levy also takes effect next spring, if those 100 families leave, that leaves a big dent in a community with fewer than 2,000 people.
"So it's going to be a challenge to find new businesses to come in," Morgan said. "The JR Simplot Company will not let us look for business for the plant until they close it."
But Anderson says they are a strong community and will come together to find a solution.
In total, there were 147 yes votes and 66 votes against.
They can use the money to add to, remodel or repair any existing building, but not to build anything new, as that would require a bond.

NVIDIA CEO: "We're Going to Open a Can of Whoop Ass"

NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang lets everyone know his company is spending nearly a billion dollars each year ready to take on Intel's graphics offerings
Any notion that Intel and NVIDIA have common ground in the graphics industry can now be easily dismissed
NVIDIA's already candid CEO Jen-Hsun Huang had more than a few things to say during the company's financial analyst meeting today. An hour into the call Huang began to ad lib; clearly something was on his mind.
"We're going to open a can of whoop ass," he told analysts, who quickly broke out into laughter.
For the past two weeks Intel and NVIDIA have been playing a game of cloak and dagger with technology press, complete with secret slide shows and secret slide show rebuttals. At the heart of this covert battle is the integrated graphics market, and some of the claims attached to it.
Intel senior vice president Pat Gelsinger fired the first volley at the Intel Developer Forum last week in Shanghai. "First, graphics that we have all come to know and love today, I have news for you. It's coming to an end. Our multi-decade old 3D graphics rendering architecture that's based on a rasterization approach is no longer scalable and suitable for the demands of the future," he said.
Gelsinger's bold statement was an introduction to Intel's upcoming
graphics architecture, but it was enough to put NVIDIA on full alert.
Intel's first attempt at a discrete graphics processor in nearly a decade
, with first samples expected to ship and stay competitive with NVIDIA and AMD graphic processors.
Intel slide decks presented to media argue that spending money on CPUs and more CPU cores makes more sense than spending money on GPUs. Intel presentations go on to detail that its integrated graphics will still satisfy consumers for years, adding that its upcoming
architecture will come in variants that integrate GMA 4500 (G45) graphics directly onto the CPU package.
NVIDIA's slide shows almost completely ignore Intel's
, and focus on IGP claims. One of Intel's slide decks states GMA 3100 (G33) is more than enough to watch high definition videos. NVIDIA counters by
citing my previous publication
"While the video capabilities of the [GMA 3100] will suffice for running Vista Aero, just about any office application, and a wide variety of non-3D based games, it is not up to the task of running the latest games, decoding 1080P HD content, or even providing decent video capabilities for a media station,"
's Gary Key writes.
Huang argues that not only are Intel's integrated offerings "a joke," but that even if Intel manages increase graphics performance by ten times by 2010, that's barely up to par with current NVIDIA offerings. He claims what passes for average graphics outside of the tech enthusiast crowd should be consider abysmal in the visual computing world.
Throughout the bulk of the conference call, Huang continued to lament Intel for poor graphics performance. He hints at another Intel slide deck that claims Intel GMA 3100 is Windows Vista Premium compatible -- a claim which was
debunked by Microsoft employees in a recent lawsuit
Intel fired back minutes later, sending emails to analysts detailing NVIDIA's poor track record when it comes to
Vista crashes due to incomplete drivers
. Almost on cue, Huang responded once again.
"NVIDIA has to support several new titles every week," he said, alleging that Intel's graphics just have to support the basic office packages. "You already have the right machine to run Excel. You bought it four years ago," he said.
The statement clearly struck a nerve with Huang, who paused for a second before adding "How much faster can you render the blue screen of death?"
"The whole principle [of censorship] is wrong. It's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't have steak." -- Robert Heinlein

ELMHURST, Ill. -- Oakland's Evan Bowser was named The Summit League Men's Golfer of the Week, announced by the league office on Wednesday. Bowser, a freshman from Dearborn, collects his first honor of the season.
At the Detroit Titans Invitational, April 12-13, Bowser shot a career-best 212 (-4) to win the tournament by two shots. After an even-par round of 72 on Friday, he followed that up with a 69 (-3) in his second 18 holes to finish the day as a co-leader. On Saturday, Bowser shot 1-under-par 71 to capture his second individual title this season.
Bowser is the first Oakland player to win a pair of titles since current PGA Tour player Brian Stuard and former standout Jon Pauli each won two tournaments in 2004-05.

It's like day and night. It looks like that took a few minutes . Great job!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
It's like day and night. It looks like that took a few minutes . Great job!
Oh Golly, I love that color. It is so perfect a job. Looks wonderful.
Wonderful paint job on the cabinet. Great color.
Glenn W. Cleveland
I love it. It's classic and contemporary at the same time.
You did a beautiful job. I love it!!!
so many quilts to make, so little time.
Wow! Candace, what a difference, it is awesome! You did a great job!
"A change of feeling is a change of destiny."
Looks fantastic--have a couple old dressers that could use a spruce up too. Thanks for sharing
Don't worry spider.
I keep house
I donate quilts to the AAQI.
I now need to figure out where to put it or if it needs to find a new home. You can only stack them 3 high in any given room without them toppling over. Just kidding;>
Terrific transformation!
Be a blessing to others, as you may entertain angels unaware!
Super nice!!!!!!!

Physicists working at UCLA have created a 30-cm diameter plasma laser. This was accomplished by applying a nonuniform magnetic field to a type of plasma region, resulting in a frequency-selective Alfven wave resonator and then injecting current into the resonator. When a current threshold is exceeded, the result is a highly coherent, large amplitude wave that propagates into an adjacent plasma column.

2) New dark matter observation methods K. Abazajian, S. Dodelson Physical Review Letters (print issue: 24 July 2003)
Recent rapid advances in astronomical observations have shed some light on the dark sector of the universe, including both dark matter and dark energy. Some of the dark matter is in the form of massive neutrinos, but the range of allowed masses is such that neutrinos could contribute anywhere from .3 percent to 20 percent of the matter density in the universe. Remarkably, both neutrino masses and dark energy leave similar signatures in the matter distribution of the universe, and a new paper examines how scientists might use weak gravitational lensing experiments to measure both signatures simultaneously.

3) Emerging behavior in electronic bidding I. Yang, H. Jeong, B. Kahng, A.L. Barabasi Physical Review E (print issue: July 2003)
Recently, the self-organizing principles of complex systems have drawn the attention of the statistical physics community, and the complex system that is human behavior is no exception. A recently published paper in Physical Review E examines the behavior of consumers at the online auction site eBay and finds that the total number of bids placed by a consumer follows a power law distribution, as does the number of items individuals look at. This also implies that a few powerful and active individuals exert a strong influence on the final prices of items.

4) Topology of the world trade web Ma Angeles Serrano and Marian Boguna Physical Review E (print issue: July 2003)
Economy and trade are fundamental parts of human social organization, but they have not traditionally been studied within the network modeling framework. A paper recently published in Physical Review E presents the first characterizations of the world trade web - the network built upon the trade relationships between different countries in the world. This network displays the typical properties of complex networks, including scale-free degree distribution, the small-world property and a high clustering coefficient.
Journal article: http://link.aps.org/abstract/PRE/v68/e015101
5) Relativistic submarine G.E.A. Matsas Physical Review D (print issue: July 2003)
Imagine a submarine moving at near-light speed. Observers on land should see the submarine get shorter and denser, causing it to sink. But the sailors on board would see the water getting denser, and the sub should float. A paper recently published in Physical Review D examines and solves for the first time this so-called submarine paradox by using a general relativistic extension of the Archimedes law of moving bodies to show that the submarine will sink.

6) H2O a misnomer? C.A. Chatzidimitriou-Dreismann, M. Vos, C. Kleiner, T. Abdul-Redah Physical Review Letters (to appear, issue of 8 August 2003)
Although most people will tell you that the chemical formula for water is H2O, a process called neutron Compton scattering (NCS) showed the H:O ratio is more like 1.5:1. But was that result due to some quirk of the measurement technique or is the ratio really not 2:1? Researchers have now extended the NCS measurements in a crucial way, demonstrating for the first time that the weird short-term effect of invisible protons is also observable with electron-proton Compton scattering (ECS). Although NCS and ECS operate in the same attosecond time window, ECS employs the electromagnetic force and NCS the strong force, which shows the observations are independent.
Journal article: Available to journalists on request
7) Noise can be good for you R. Soma, D. Nozaki, S. Kwak, Y. Yamamoto Physical Review Letters (to appear)
Researchers in Japan have found that a type of noise known as 1/f noise more effectively sensitizes the human brain than white noise. Working with nine human subjects, the team studied the human "baroreflex" system, in which an increase (or decrease) in blood pressure triggers a decrease (or increase) in heart rate. Their results mark the first demonstration of a functional link between fractal noise and the sensitivity of the physiological control system.
8) Natural nanostructures M. Kawamura, N. Paul, V. Cherepanov, B. Voigtlander Physical Review Letters (to appear)
Nanometer-sized electronic structures are highly desirable for the future miniaturization of electronic devices. Recent experiments have shown that it is possible to grow silicon and germanium nanowires with a thickness of one atomic layer by using the natural self-organization of atoms at surfaces. More complex structures, such as nanorings, are also possible, and researchers hope to be able to one day use these methods to build complex semiconductor devices.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Sorry I was out of the loop there. Long story for another day and post. I had an idea for a May post but Love the topic chosen ad hoc by nancia;
A theme worked in five. Five blocks? 5 views? Or 5 colors? 5 media? 5 of anything in honor of cinco de mayo!
Sweet little idea. Special kudos if you can have more than one element of '5' in your piece.
I think I will begin by listening to that old jazz piece 'Take 5' on u-tube while I start sorting differing groups and ideas about fives and deciding what to do with them.
Read, set, GO! As we are slightly late with our theme.......................
Author; I Don't Know Where I Want to Be -But it Isn't Here!
absolutely! son, daniel is at the royal central school of speech and drama at the university of london working on his mfa. he went to ut (austin, naturally) but has little good to say about it. wrong school for him at the time.
The only bad days are the ones you don't get.
Anyway Althea's only in London for two weeks this time and then back to Austin for the visit of her potential new 'daughter' in June. Weird story; my hubby's cousin has a son who is in jail for bank robbery, over drugs. This guy's daughter is with grandma but since gr'ma is dying of cancer she has nominated Althea and hubby as the new caretakers. Jayden, the 10 year old has a case of cerebal palsy and so there are more complications of course. She'll be moving in with Althea and Sunil in Sept. as cousin is worsening. Isn't life full of odd convolutions? But I am fully intending on further spoiling Jayden with a cuddle quilt for her new residence. She has a Q I made her last year, but this will be a new beginning and so she needs a new one to go with the old one I figure. With luck I can get a great theme and technique idea that is also art going and also round up someone who is headed back to the US in the fall who will take it up there for me so I skip the fees for shipping it.
Getting busy on my 5-5-5-5 this AM I think. That project I need to finish for a friend's Q will suit both the theme and be good for either wall in the summer and bed in the winter.
Author; I Don't Know Where I Want to Be -But it Isn't Here!
i don't know, suz. is it smart having all these kids blowing kisses at each other around the world? we could start a pandemic! lol, as long as they do it in 5 steps!! tomorrow i'll do a little research for a decent dragon, never have been able to draw them. i love the disney dragon and helen reddy and everybody in that movie ( i know, i can't remember the title either!) and any way, do i want a serious saint george type dragon or a disney dragon? then i have to go buy bunches of large snaps to cover. for those other than suzie, i had an inspiration to make a dragon in parts and have snaps, of various colors on the quilt to add texture and color, and have the other half of the snaps on the backs of the pieces so the dragon can then be moved around and snapped into new poses. thus making an interactive quilt and incorporating my flower, the snap dragon. i know, i love puns, too!! LOLOLOL
The only bad days are the ones you don't get.
We are a family of 5, incl Molly's partner of 10 years. The brain is percolating! Back in NYC and back to sewing!
Dotty in NYC
tkhooper ----- any way you could experiment with that window quilt and add the idea of the 5's? Or is it all planned and going forward from a long term plan?
(I have this habit of trying to include the theme within something already planned or IP to try my brain further. What a complete oddity it is to get to do a fresh piece with the theme for me. Altho sometimes I will just start a fresh small piece to exercise my 'create' on a givien month)
Welcome again.
Author; I Don't Know Where I Want to Be -But it Isn't Here!
tkhooper-- welc0me! love to have you join! jump right in any where you want and anytime! as they say, the water is fine!
as for 5's. my birth family --5 members, my children, dh and i are 5. ooo, just thought of something, i only have 4 animals so this would be a good reason to rescue another one! maybe i can find 5 dragons i like...... that's 3 ideas, just need 2 more, lol!!
The only bad days are the ones you don't get.

The sponsor also owns one of the leading fancies for the race in Snaafy, who won over course and distance in 2008 and the following year won the Group Three Burj Nahaar during the Dubai International Racing Carnival on the Nad Al Sheba dirt.
Al Muhairi has a very strong hand as he also saddles Tayyab and Atlantic Brave. Stable jockey Wayne Smith rides the former and said: "It was a very tough choice and we know both handle the track. All three of ours should run well."
The Jebel Ali Mile prep was won by Otaared, trained on the track by Dhruba Selvaratnam and a course winner four times now. Kieren Fallon was aboard on that occasion and is again, and said: "That was a good effort last time and he had to dig deep as it was a real slog. Hopefully he can go close but this is a much better race."
Step In Line was only just caught on that occasion by Fallon's mount and will again make a bold bid from the front.
Jet Express won this last year from Golden Arrow, having chased home that same rival in 2009 and the pair are back again both seeking to become the only horse to have won this race twice.
South African Mike De Kock adds further intrigue to the contest by running Wonder Lawn who did win on the track, over 1950m, last year. With the race sure to be run at a furious gallop, he looks certain to be staying on under Kevin Shea and certainly cannot be ruled out.
With Satish Seemar leading the trainers' title his Escape Route and Tiz Now Tiz Then are others who cannot be ruled out in a cracking Jebel Ali Mile 2011.
The best of the handicaps looks to be the concluding race over 1200m. The weights are headed by course specialist Mannjal, trained by Selvaratnam and who has to give weight to the likes of Green Beret and Mahubo which will not be easy.
The second race, an 1800m handicap, looks a great opportunity for Royaaty to underline his Carnival claims for Mubarak bin Shafya.

Mini Sheet Music Envelopes
I found a great template here. I just printed off the size I wanted (4x6) onto cardstock. Then I traced the pattern onto my sheet music and cut each one out. Glue along where a store-bought envelope would be sealed.
I couldn't resist adding some French stamps.
And some bees. I even added a little pink button and a small French thank you card inside.
Super easy and I can already feel like these are going to be addictive!

text: I usually will not purchase a firearm from a firearms show, usually too expensive, at least in my area...........I have purchased two firearms on line...the first one, with shipping and FFL fees, cost me what they were asking for the firearm alone,in a retail setting. Not counting a backround ck. The second, I received, I saved $103, over retail shops...If it is possible, you may want to try this route....depending on the firearm, you may break even, you may save a few bucks....you could also try Armslist. By the way, welcome.

While I have not seen any of the dances yet, I often find that D/W skate to music that is too big for them or to mature/somber. I felt that way about Belbin/Agusto when they were around - but to a lesser degree. I have this odd thought that B/A could get away with that kind of music because she was to tall and a bit more mature looking, but White can't because she appears much younger, is shorter or her body portions are not as equal. Of D/W's programs thus far, I adored the Beatles medley and their Bollywood from last year. I really disliked their OD last year.
But of course, I wish them all well!
Last edited by dwiggin3; 04-29-2011 at 02:39 PM.
This might be a side note, but based on today's results, there is a very good chance that US, Canada, and Russai all could send 3 dance teams to the next year's worlds.
Personally I would be thrilled to see if France can also send 3 teams to worlds next year since it will be held there. Currently PECHALAT / BOURZAT is in the 3rd place and Carron/Jones is the 11th. If P/B hold the 3rd place and C/J pull up to the 10th, France can very much send 3 teams. I really hope it can happen.
I just hope they both skate well but Marlie comes out ahead. They have been too awesome this season not to get the final prize and that program is just crazy hard and crazy amazing.
Just a note on the skating order question. PJ Kwong reported that the listed orders we first saw for C&J and the Russians were incorrect. They skated today according to the actual draw results.
I really enjoyed Weaver and Poge doing that Fox Trot. It's a great dance for Happiness and Technique. They had that in spades.
I am so tired of watching sturm and drang or even sad couples breaking up.
I am of the opinion that nothing untoward or biased happens with tech calls most of the time, including this short dance.
My thoughts are that V&M delivered like they always do.......smooth, effortless (at least they make it look that way), exact, attention to line and detail.......they are awsome. D&W always look like they're working so hard or late for something, they're good skaters, but I don't get their marks.......never have, but especially this year. Shibs were smooth but very juniorish, W&P were elegant as usual, and I didn't see any mistakes so I hope they can keep it going for the FD. I don't see what's so special about I/K except they're pretty good and nicely matched (she's very pretty). I hope P&B can deliver a good FD tomorrow and get themselves a bronze.
I can't wait to see V&M's FD..........I hope they can retain their championship. If the marks are handed out for actual skating, they should be able to.
By the way, there is also a CANADIAN judge (Clark), and there are 5 European judges on the panel (FRA, EST, ISR, AUT, GBR).
All the wuzrobbing is hilarious. No one seems to recall that the Shibutanis beat both W/P and C/P at 4CC. S/S won two bronze medals in the GP, one of them beating I/K at NHK. They've been gaining ground on the competition little by little this season, so I wasn't the least bit surprised that they scored so well at Worlds.
I thought both D/W and V/M skated well and deserved their high marks; however, IMO P/B were way overmarked---their SD was better performed earlier in the season than it was in Moscow. W/P's SD was good, but not really much improved over earlier efforts and that's why their marks didn't go up. Unfortunately, W/P's FD has never been as well received by judges as their SD, in part because the program just doesn't suit them as well, and partly because they've yet to turn in a clean FD internationally. C/P (who have two of the most boring programs ever this season), got dumped because their SD is a snooze and Vanessa badly messed up the twizzles.
I/K were more exciting to watch than B/S, but both teams are a bit unbalanced: in both teams, the lady WAY overemotes while the guy is stolid and slightly disconnected. IMO, I/K will soon pass B/S, if not this Worlds, then next season.
BTW, for those indignant at the Shibutanis' upward trajectory, take a look at the protocols. You will see why their TES is so high. And remember that NEITHER of the tech specialists is American.
Did not get a chance to watch the SD live, but will watch on Univ Sp TV at 6:00 p.m
Congrats to V/M, D/W and P/B. Good placement for the Shibs, I really think this team will be the one
to beat at Sochi.
I will be rooting for D/W to take the Gold tomorrow.
(FWIW, I prefer V&M and hope they win with a wonderful skate, but I can understand why someone would wonder if Tessa will make it through the FD after what happened at 4CC.)

As both a former student, faculty member and now dean, I can say that our medical school is among the finest in the country.
Dr. LouAnn Woodward
It began in Oxford on the University of Mississippi's main campus in 1903 as a two-year certificate program. In 1955, the school moved to Jackson where its curriculum was expanded to four years in the brand new medical center. Since then, UMMC's physical complex has steadily grown, to now include seven schools, four hospitals, and nationally recognized research centers in cardiovascular/renal physiology, cancer, obesity, neurodegenerative disorders, and women's health.
With an increased interest in the health professions, the School of Medicine's enrollment and course offerings have also grown, and in the fall of 2016, we reached a record enrollment of 577 students.
As proud as we are of our history, we take just as much pride in our future - a future vested in the lives and careers of prospective medical students just like you. In time, we want to help solve some of Mississippi's previously intractable health dilemmas: access to care and the disparities of health status.
Interested in being part of Mississippi's health care future? Give us a call at (601) 984-5010, or email us on this website to learn more.

Installation Information
Page Content
Renewable generation is a popular topic in our world today and there is a wealth of information to be found on the subject. Avista is here to support you through the process from beginning to end. There are many factors to consider before you embark on the path to generating your own renewable energy. Some helpful tips and links can be found below.
Do your research.
Care should be taken to ensure the information you receive is accurate and applicable to your specific location. For example, a solar photovoltaic system's output can vary widely based on factors including direction, angle, shading, and location among many others. General figures are useful as a first estimate, but a more detailed site-specific examination should be part of any renewable energy decision.
Hire an experienced contractor.
Installing renewable generation is a complicated process, especially if you have no prior experience. An experienced contractor can help you avoid frustration, delays, and extra expenses.
Involve Avista early in your project.
We're here to help. Once you have decided to install your own renewable generation, we strive to make the interconnection process run as smoothly as possible. Contacting Avista and submitting your application early in the process can help ensure a quick and safe installation. The best practice to reduce surprises or slowdowns is to submit your application and receive approval before you obtain your equipment or begin your installation. In some cases, utility upgrades may be required before installation can be completed.

Hooray for Brett Gosper, the International Rugby Board's new chief executive, for taking a stand on the organisation's "image", "values" and "integrity" and reviewing Adam Thomson's ban for stomping.
After all, as the IRB said in a statement regarding what it says was an unduly lenient sanction of a one-week ban (reduced from two weeks for good behaviour) for the All Blacks's use of the boot against Scotland's Alasdair Strokosch at Murrayfield, "disciplinary regulation is intended to protect all players and the game through the strict application of a sanctioning regime that acts as a strong deterrent against acts of foul play".
Strokosch insisted afterwards that Thomson's act was not deliberate.
The trouble for Gosper is that he has taken a very keen interest in this case from the beginning, assuring disgruntled British journalists on Twitter that he would review it.
Now he has appointed himself a crusader for justice, how is the Australian - who started in the role only months ago after replacing Mike Miller - going to have time to do anything else? There are incidents which could be construed as foul play in just about every rugby game, many of which offend people. How will Gosper respond to those?
And also, where was the IRB's concern following the constant attacks on All Blacks' captain Richie McCaw?
There have been many recently, but the worst was the sickening assault from Springboks prop Dean Greyling on McCaw in the Rugby Championship game in Dunedin. Greyling didn't like what his opponent was doing in a ruck so launched his 128kg frame and hit McCaw in the face with his forearm. For that he was sinbinned, cited, and given a two-week ban - missing only one test as the Boks had the following weekend off. Hardly a strong deterrent, was it?
So many questions, so few answers. The latest comment from Gosper, who has embraced the use of the social media platform - inappropriately at times when proper process should be followed following judicial hearings such as Thomson's - was that he couldn't comment, although it seems he couldn't quite help himself: "Can't comment but appreciate support as well as 'input'! IRB has genuine love of All Black Rugby and Values."
Quite apart from the high and mighty language in the IRB's statement - "As custodians of rugby worldwide, the IRB has a duty to protect its image, values and integrity together with the welfare of players at all levels in order that the sport can continue its unprecedented growth and welcome more men, women and children to the rugby family" - and the apparent bullying of Gosper by British journalists who always seem to have bees in their bonnets about the All Blacks, it is the inconsistency which irks.
When APNZ approached the IRB for comment after the sanction (two weeks) handed down for the most recent attack on McCaw - the use of the head and knee in Brisbane by Scott Higginbotham - the organisation suggested we approach the Australia Rugby Union as they were hosting the match.
The ARU, predictably, defended the process and the sanction.
Over to you, Brett.

Rated 5 out of 5 by wycook from Perfect Saute Pan What a wonderful pan! We've cooked pork chops, chicken breasts, salmon, and beef steak in it already. We are thrilled that we have absolutely no hot spots in this pan. The browning has been beautiful, yet the pan has been easily cleaned with olive oil soap and a nylon scrubby. Vegetables have also cooked evenly every time. This pan was a good investment and made us better cooks instantly. Also love the design of the handle, which keeps it from heating up -- very clever.Date published: 2017-01-12Rated 5 out of 5 by Sarah11 from beautiful pan and very versatile I am a fan of the copper core line. It browns food beautifully, and it heats evenly. I cooked Steak au poivre and it turned delicious. It becomes nonstick when heated properly, so there is no need to use a lot of oil when cooking. Cleaning is very easy. Just use some hot water, or deglaze the pan after cooking and it will look like new. This is a great investment if you look for good quality and performance.Date published: 2016-10-04Rated 5 out of 5 by ChefIngrid from Wish I Had Bought One Yrs Ago: Best Pan Ever! After a full year of almost-DAILY use, I still LOVE THIS PAN!! It heats up fast and evenly, all the way across the bottom, and cooks everything beautifully. Browning meat, sauting large batches of veggies, making pancakes, casseroles, etc are all easy. It's amazingly convenient to brown/sear items on the stovetop, then simply move the pan into the oven for the remainder of the cooking time. I sometimes do batch cooking on the weekends, preparing most of the meals for the coming week. This pan easily handled the large volumes, and was easy to clean. I worried about keeping it shiny because other SS pans I've had in the past could be difficult, especially after cooking eggs or making syrup. Surprise! This All-Clad is extremely easy to clean. And it's beautiful to have in the kitchen. I LOVE this pan, and wish I hadn't waited so long to buy one!Date published: 2015-12-21Rated 1 out of 5 by Cenolar from Crowns in the center when heated I just got this pan and so far I am very disappointed considering how much I paid for it. It crowns up in the center when I heat it and all the oil/broth rolls to the sides. I expect better from All-Clad and Williams Sonoma. I plan on contacting customer service.Date published: 2015-02-18Rated 5 out of 5 by BirdsOfFire from Cooks better than my grandmother's Bought this last summer at the Williams-Sonoma in the university district of Fort Worth. Told myself we were insane to pay this much for a fricassee pan. Then my wife got it home and made Chicken Cacciatore with it. Better chicken cacciatore than my grandmother made! This pan is the bomb. Worth the price and more. Chicken breading held together perfect, meat was tender, flavors were kept true, excellent fricassee pan.Date published: 2015-01-19Rated 5 out of 5 by karzats from Unbelievable Bought the 6 qt. sauté and 12" copper core fry pans and felt a bit foolish spending this kind of $$ on pans. THEN, I got home and cooked with them. Unbelievable! Best purchases ever. I use them all the time, including using the 6 Qt for French toast!! cooked on higher heat with sourdough and olive oil. Cleanup a cinch and heat evenly distributed for great even browning. Won't go into sautéed chicken dishes and fried eggs. The go to pans. 5 *****Date published: 2014-10-04Rated 5 out of 5 by NoviceCook11 from A great All-Clad Copper Core Pan I am very pleased with anything from the Copper Core series of All Clad. Highly recommended.Date published: 2013-08-08Rated 5 out of 5 by Coco21 from Love the quality of this sauté pan Excellent quality product, heats quickly and evenly, and love the fact it is made in USA! Lid fits well. Great size for sautéing vegetables and making sauces, I use this 2qt sauté pan daily! Have several other allclad copper core pans, and have never been dissatisfied with the purchases. Love it!Date published: 2012-06-05

Speaking of "ex-lax"...I'll be on the john all day saturday because i plan on getting sloshed tonight while finishing up the last 6 of 24 hrs of the nurb on my tguns account!
Btw: exX, i tried using Won_Eyed but i guess it's been taken because it would not allow me to use that name. Oh well, I like this one just fine, thanks for the thoughts. May your movements be smooth and your racing be swift...wow, that sounds too much like Uncle Dan...LOL!
Re: The New GT Saturday's Event Page.
Can't come out and play this week, all. I've got taxi duty for a funeral Sat afternoon. This was very sudden, so I didn't find out until today.
For some reason they like my driving - go figure!

So you're basically "indisposed" for a few weeks..?
ex-lax. Oh lordy, I thought i was bad...
I was test racing yesterday with no_affiliations and found this to be a grind for me at best. No way I can tip toe around the tulips for an hour plus in this car with the tires. Had way more fun with RM's on the car. Lap times were a few secs quicker, but there was some tire heat, some wear and you could push a little and get over confident and screw up.
Perfect race for the guys like Cip and Gar, but I'd just be riding around looking for a bus stop or a taxi and getting in the way. With all that's going on in my life right now, this is kind of the opposite of what I need. I'd rather not drag the room down with me, so I am going to sit out and let the real racers have some fun and enjoy themselves.
No hard feeling or grudges or anything, just not mentally in the game enough to make a run like this, and I don't want to upset anyone or say something I shouldn't when (not if, it'll be when) I get too frustrated.
I do hope the big guns come out en-masse for this one. For the right drivers, it should be a heck of a fun show.

Tim-That's because I'm Vitting this week you fucking dumbass.

The act of going out in public wearing sweatpants and a flannel, the flannel attempts to give off a presentable look while the sweatpants bring the look down and neautralize the look giving off an "I don't care" vibe

Happy to meet you Gabriel and thanks for your welcome !
You were a perfect host.

Gabriel does the best so that you feel like home !
Jubilee line is close and it's easy to go in the center of London quickly.
Very pleased !
Many thanks Gabriel.
Perfect stay for out Weekend trip to London! The Apartment is a 5 min walk away from the Underground Station. It's nice and clean, has a comfy bed and offers Wifi Access.
Gabriel is very nice host, who can provide valuable Information on all trip related Topics. I'd choose his place again anytime!
Gabriel is an outstanding host and his home is warm and beautiful. This is the place to be in London!
Thanks Gabriel for such a wonderful time!
Laura & Pablo
Apart from being a little far from the tube station (10min walk)
Everything is great.
It's a peaceful neighbourhood and there are a number of restaurants which keep open until late.
The host is very informative and can provide you whatever information you need
Gabriel was the best host ever! He has been more than nice and friendly. The house is big, super clean and tidy. Plus, being a victorian house, it's also a unique and charming place! Our room was large and bright, with a lot of space for clothes and personal belongings. We also had a sky tv and wi-fi connection. We could use the kitchen and kitchen equipment and everything was clean! There's no shower in the bathroom, just a bathtub, but it was more than useful.
The neighborhood is nice and safe: very close to the underground station (zone 2, jubilee line) and lots of supermarkets, pubs, shops and coffeeshops nearby. I would definitely recommend Gabriel's apartment!
We had a wonderful stay at Gabriel's. The appartment is very nicely furnished and the room spacious. Great location close to the main road where you can take buses to Camden, Nothing Hill, Hammersmith, King's Cross, and Willesden Green tube station. Various shops, banks, restaurant in the area.
We arrived late -after 22.30pm- because our train was delayed and Gabriel waited for us and even greated us with warm smile. He knows all the places to be seen in London and gives good advices.
We plan another trip to London before the end of the year and will very likely book there again.
I stayed with my son and both of us loved the flat. In future holidays in London I already know where to stay or at least try to.
We have had a wonderful stay in London. The apartment in a lovely Victorian building is great and the room is beautiful. Gabriel is a charming host who has good tips when it comes to things to do when in London. When ever we come back to London we will certainly stay at this apartment again. Willesden Green is not to far from Central London by Jubilee line and is a great location when you are going to a concert or a football game in Wembley. Thank you Gabriel for a great time.
Perfect place to stay to explore London. Very clean, spacious and above all very close to the Underground, about 5 min walk! As host Gabriel is very helpful, answered all the questions and provide the crucial tips to ensure that the London trip a success !!!!
Perfekte Unterkunft um London zu erkunden. Sehr sauber, großzügig und vor allem sehr nahe zur Underground, ca. 5 min zu Fuß! Als Gastgeber ist Gabriel sehr hilfsbereit, beantwortet alle Fragen und gibt entscheidende Tips, damit der Londontrip ein voller Erfolg wird!!!!
