MANUFACTURER: Eotech
Review This Item
Offering true 2 eyes open shooting, a transversly mounted lithium 123 battery, and 7 mm raised base offering iron sight access, the EOTech EXPS2-0 Holographic Weapon Sight, 65 MOA ring and 1 MOA dot Reticle (EXPS2-0) features easy to adjust side buttons and a single, quick release throw lever for easy attachment and removal.
The illuminated reticle is configured with a 65 MOA circle and a single 1 MOA dot - the illumination system provides the operator with 20 brightness levels to choose from.
This sight is smaller than the former N-cell battery Eotech sight (511/551) and runs on single 123 battery. It also has a longer battery life than the N-cell style sights. Smaller, lighter and always fast. With the single battery configuration, the Eotech EXPS2-0 allows more rail space than ever, leaving more room for rear iron sights.

A one night stand that you meet using the website Plenty of Fish (POF). The origin of this term comes from the similarities between the sound of a smoke-grenade (poffff) and the acronym POF. Also, a one night stand is expected to clear out in a relatively short amount of time, much like a smoke-grenade.
"Hey bro, what are you doing tonight?"
"Not much man. I'm about to go meet up with this smoke-grenade I've been talking too."

Osi is going to be in studio on Total Access tonight. I heard he'll be discussing the state of the franchise also. Just a heads up.
"You killed my family, and I don't like that kind of thing."
Lol at the end of the interview, Jon states he was there for the saints game. TC said he should come to more games lol...

My favorite is Stewart talking about the current Giant greats and after Eli and Snee the one defender he pulls out is Blackburn LOL. Granted Snee had a down year and is showing signs of slowing, but he at least has history of being great. I lol'd a bit. Loved Coughlins comment that a poor football player wouldn't make it into his family haha
Love Coughlin, hate Stewart lol....although he was good in this interview (probably because he didn't say anything political)

Thats unfortunate that you are having so many problems with it, I own the same thing and love it.
My experience has been great with everything I have shot through it, sure there were a few FTF here or there but its bound to happen with a .22lr. I was expecting problems with the Rem. Thunderbolt I bought for really cheap one time, but was pleasantly surprised. A friend with a 10/22 had some real trouble with some of his ammo one trip, but I forget what brand that was. In comparison to other things, the .22lr ammo is cheap enough that I don't skimp on it. Thats not to say I buy the expensive match grade stuff, but the slightly more expensive ammo is *usually* better and *usually* makes for a more enjoyable trip to the range.
I honestly think that if the gun is properly cleaned and maintained, the ammo is to blame.
Without more information thats the best I can do, sorry.
You could buy an aftermarket extractor if you think the factory one is deffective or something strange like that. I bought a trigger upgrade and some 30rd magazines from the same website below. No problems with the order, shipping, or parts.

Atherton Police Negotiations -- Status Please?
Original post made by My oh my, Atherton: other, on Apr 7, 2013
The APOA union was very loud and belligerent last election season about what they wanted and demanded. They're very quiet now. I assume this is because Lewis and Wiest told them to keep a low profile, they're going to get what they want, so don't attract attention to the situation.
But this article CHANGES EVERYTHING, even for the troika of Lewis, Wiest and Carlson.
Web Link
CALPERS will be billing Atherton more than 50% higher for police union pensions over the next six years.
Where will the money come from?
If Atherton residents stay asleep, right from their wallets, since Lewis and Wiest will make sure cops get RAISES instead of the MASSIVE REDUCTIONS that are necessary to balance the budget.

Atherton citizens, given their insistence on having their own dedicated private security force..errrr..police force, will be paying a larger parcel tax to pay for their insistence.
Contract with the Sheriff's department for police services and a private security service for all the non-police nonsense you have your police department doing and save two million dollars a year. Doesn't seem too complicated to me. Of course, the Sheriff's deputies aren't going to let DUI Atherton citizens to go home. Ah! Now it makes sense.

What MV said. Plus, Atherton residents are amongst the wealthiest on THE PLANET. My heart doesn't bleed for them. If they want to get together & change the way their city - & private butler/security force - are run, they will. No one is holding their breath, but it can be done.

Any negotiation where you ask the other side to set the stage by putting only their proposal on the table is a huge mistake. The council should publicly debate what should be the elements of the the town's starting offer, then formulate an offer in closed session as is allowed by the Brown Act and then both sides should put their proposals on the table at the same time.
And when a tentative deal is struck it should be brought by the council to their membership, the taxpayers, at the same time as the police negotiators take it to their membership.

while your suggestion is apt, I don't think it's likely as the AOPA bought at least two council members. Bottom line, most citizens of Atherton seem insistent on maintaining their own police department at all costs. God only knows why. Oh! Because they expect they will get special treatment from their own police department. Ah, if it were so. I can think of several Atherton citizens that can vouch for that not happening.
Wake up Atherton.

" as the AOPA bought at least two council members."
I think that is a baseless allegation - what evidence to you have to support it?
a resident of Menlo Park: other
on Apr 8, 2013 at 7:41 pm
They endorsed two of them for election. As you well know, they expect something for that endorsement. I'll be pleasantly surprised if they don't deliver, but, frankly, I'm not holding my breath.
With all due respect, what you have in Atherton is a glorified private security force. You could pay bubkus and you'd still have people like a certain Sgt., who's family lives in Atherton continuing to work there. He couldn't get a job as a cop anywhere else to save his life. Yet, there are many in Atherton that seem to think that if they don't pay a "competitive" wage they won't have a good police department. They don't have one now. They have a glorified private security force. But hey, they can get stopped for DUI and expect a ride home, so they want to maintain their own police force. So, why pay more than they have to?
If that's what the citizens of Atherton want, then they can expect to pay for it. A lot more. Here comes an increase in the parcel tax.

Lewis and Wiest received far more financial support and more endorsements from citizens than they did from the police union and I am certain that neither of them have been 'bought'.
I would prefer that candidates for public office refuse endorsements and financial support from the unions whose contracts that must approve but, as the firefighters' union has discovered, such support does not always prove profitable to the unions.
a resident of Menlo Park: other
on Apr 8, 2013 at 8:10 pm
as I said, I will be pleasantly surprised if the APOA's endorsements didn't buy Lewis and Weist. I know the Fire union's endorsement didn't in your case, much to their chagrin, but in general, it usually does.
Also, as I've said before, Ms. Lewis is ethically challenged in my mind and not fit for office. So, I don't have much hope for her not bowing to the APOA.
a resident of Atherton: other
on Apr 9, 2013 at 8:57 am
Peter is setting himself up for being quite disappointed by Lewis and Wiest, in my view. The largest SINGLE contributor was the APOA, far more than any one citizen. Does the corruption Menlo Voter refers to have to be Rod Blagojevich style? Of course not. It's just human nature to want to treat others well who have done favors for you. That's why the correct ethical decision was not to accept the endorsement and money in the first place. A major leader in the Wiest and Lewis campaigns? "Pappa" Hall, the father of the Atherton cop Menlo Voter refers to. I guess that's all A-okay also.
I understand that in prior years the council "negotiator" brought back the APOA's demand as the end result of final negotiations! Wonder why Atherton is in such a budget mess?
What's Atherton going to do now that costs we already can't afford are going up 50%?? It sounds from Ms. Batti's report that the answer is more of the same. Asking cops what they want, and giving it to them.

How much did Kupperman spend on her campaign? Was it more than the AOPA? How come the town never published this information?
Why did the JPA Council representative allow the JPA to spend Atherton tax money on general expenses not related the operation of Atherton's facility? Did she have the authority to do this? How much was spent??
Were these funds spent to support the campaign to put Atherton's library in the park?
a resident of Atherton: other
on Apr 10, 2013 at 7:37 am
The APOA MOU expires September 2013. The Town has issued a request to begin successor MOU discussions and expects to begin those discussions in the next few weeks. It is anticipated that there will be several meetings before a tentative agreement is reached.
The City Council established a set of objectives for the discussions consistent with those set and adopted for the local miscellaneous (non-safety) employees. Negotiations will not occur at public meetings. The City Council members will not be involved in the actual negotiations. As discussions move along, the City Council, as a body, provides continuous direction to its Chief Negotiator during updates and discussion in Closed Session. Once a tentative agreement has been reached, the City Council is the body that approves any agreement and that discussion will occur at a public meeting.
Campaign materials for election candidates have been and continue to be publicly available at Town Hall. Contact the City Clerk for more information. All funds expended from the Library fund have been lawfully spent, and not used for campaign purposes.
With respect to the CalPERS article, it states that "...under the five-year phase in ("Method 5" in the charts), the current employer rate for most state workers, 19.7 percent of pay, would increase to 29.2 percent, schools from 11.4 percent of pay to 18.9 percent, and public agencies from 14.9 percent to 23 percent..." The Town's net normal rate for public safety employees is approximately 17% of pay and 8% of pay for non-safety. The Town does not participate in Social Security and has paid off its additional pension liabilities so there are no additional pension costs beyond the base rates. The Method 5 increases projected by CalPERS to bring the overall CalPERS pension system to 103% funded status from its current 75% funded status would raise the preceding rates by another 8 to 9 percent and 4 to 5 percent respectively. The details of the CalPERS actuarials are public documents and available at Town Hall and via email.
Should you have any questions regarding the status of the APOA negotiations, or any other Town issues, feel free to call or email me directly. My office phone number is 650-752-0504 and my email is email@example.com.

Don't confuse people with math, Mr. Rodericks. I know you're an important part of getting a foolish contract in place with the cops so Lewis and Wiest can reward them for their support. They're rewarding you for doing so by paying you more NOT to live here (instead of reducing your salary based on your refusal to be a full-time member of the community). So one hand washes the other.
The "8 to 9 percent" and "4 to 5 percent" raises you speak of may not seem high to some people, because you are using incorrect terminology. You should be saying "8 to 9 percentage points" and "4 to 5 percentage points". The original claim stands of an overall increase of some 50 PERCENT (compared to baseline) of money ATHERTON DOES NOT HAVE.
In fact, if the Atherton rate for cops is 17% now, and will increase 8 to 9%, that's potentially MORE THAN 50 PERCENT.
P.S. – Change your community to "another community." You've chosen not to live in Atherton.

Sadly what the Town Manager describes is a totally closed door process where the FIRST time the taxpayers will have any inkling of what the Town is using as its negotiating principles will be 72 hours before the council meeting at which the already negotiated contract will be voted on by the council. On the other hand the police negotiators will have kept their membership fully informed from start to finish. Why are not the council's membership, called taxpayers, given the same consideration?
Why not a public discussion of the " set of objectives for the discussions" that the council has decided in secret BEFORE negotiations begin and why not give 15 days public notice of the terms of the PROPOSED agreement, as does San Francisco and the MPFPD, before the council entertains a vote on that agreement?
a resident of Atherton: West Atherton

Because this why it's easier to shove a contract unfavorable to taxpayers down their throats to pay back political favors?

The council should not expect taxpayer support for a continuation of the parcel tax if the council refuses to allow those some taxpayers a role in getting to a new police agreement - which is the biggest item in the budget.
I.E., don't expect us to be there for the (crash) landing if we weren't on board at takeoff.

I'm not jealous at all. I just happen to live right over the border and drive through your town frequently. I also do work in your town on a regular basis. So, I have at least a passing interest in what happens in your town as it cannot help but have impacts on me and my town.
It's always amazed me at how apathetic the citizens of Atherton are, especially when it comes to the transparency (or lack thereof) of its city government and the misdeads of its police force.

astonished - I live in EPA & even I'm not jealous of Atherton & Athertonians. I do miss the Atherton of my youth, where I spend a lot of my time w/wonderful friends. Maybe it's selective memory, but things seemed more communal there at the time.
I'm a Menlo/Palo Alto native, & I'm also in your town frequently. My numerous friends there also have concerns about how the town is run, but they're not involved w/trying to improve it.
For years, people have made fund of your police dept., not due to jealousy at all. Can you figure out why? Even here in EPA, w/such challenges to budget, public safety, growth issues, etc., the city council & city gov't runs much better than it used to. Atherton today reminds me of a wealthy version of EPA 15+ years ago, when we had many more problems w/city gov't & trust in leadership was incredibly low. I've been able to, in the recent past, call the chief of police on his cell phone to alert him to serious issues that required his immediate attention, not w/a request to help me figure out what's wrong w/my mechanical gate. Yes, the latter really did happen in Atherton - I know, because I saw it happen - a resident called 911 when she had problems w/her mechanical gate.
The bottom line is that you're a town filled w/people of incredible wealth, education, privilege, entitlement & opportunity who can't find your collective feet w/both hands & a flashlight - or even when a police officer is holding the flashlight for you. It's pretty sad because there seem to be too few people trying to change things. Don't you all believe that you deserve better? Here in EPA, we *knew*, in our marrow, that we deserved better than we had w/our leadership, & that's when things began to change. Heck, now we have a big grocery store, an organic farmer's market & CSA boxes!

A gay village dwelling gangsta rapper sex position. It involves being anally intruded whilst bent over the handlebars of a bicycle whilst gripping the seat between the teeth. Village dwelling gangsta rappers are mainly a male phenomenon hence the high percentage of gays. You can see then surveying their "turf", usually by bicycle. They are easily identified by their dress code of shell suit, baseball cap and trainers. Sometimes they also carry a large sink plunger which they wear on their head during foreplay prior to performing a "Dizzavoe". They are also usually sucking their teeth in a threatening manor!

Step 1
Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Put asparagus in a steamer basket, place in the pan, cover and steam until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large plate, spreading out to cool.
Step 2
Combine chili powder, garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt on a plate. Dredge fillets in the spice mixture to coat. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook until just opaque in the center, gently turning halfway, 5 to 7 minutes total. Divide among 4 plates. Immediately add lemon juice, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and asparagus to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until the asparagus is coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.

lol that was pretty funny
A guy walks into a bar and asks for 12 shots of whiskey lined up in a row on the bar, so the bartender sets 'em up and the guy starts slammin' 'em as fast as he can. The bartender's standin' there lookin' at the guy and says, "Hey man, you're slammin' those pretty fast." The guy says, (gulp, gulp)Yeah, you would too if you had what I had." Bartender steps back and asks," What's that?" Guy says,"{gulp, gulp}, 75 cents."

About CHCI
In 1978, a small group of Hispanic members of Congress established the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) to develop the next generation of Latino leaders with a clear vision of a strong America made possible with the many contributions of educated and civic-minded Latino leaders engaged in and contributing to all aspects of U.S. society. This vision was founded on three cornerstones for success: education attainment and college access, leadership development programs in D.C., and access to a powerful network of Latino leaders in the United States.
Today CHCI is the premier Hispanic nonprofit and nonpartisan 501(c)(3) leadership development organization in the country firmly rooted in the same three mission cornerstones laid by our founders:
Educate. Empower. Connect.
By promoting education attainment and college access, providing unmatched career development experience, and offering award-winning leadership programs that connect program participants to the most powerful network of U.S. leaders, CHCI's mission is unwavering and more powerful and critical than ever before in our nation's history. The success of our more than 11,800 young Latinos served across the country, will determine the nation's success in this century.
In a nation where one in four children are Latino and more than 90 percent of Latino children are native born, success must include prepared Latino leaders. The young Latino demographics fuel the new projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which predict that Hispanics will account for 74 percent of the growth in the nation's labor force from 2010 to 2020, a much higher rate than in the previous two decades. CHCI's effort to develop Latino leaders directly impacts the future workforce and our nation's ability to meet the workforce challenges of the 21st century.
With its comprehensive approach to leadership development, CHCI directly impacts the lives of over 1,700 students and young professionals each year through its fellowships, congressional internships, scholarships, Ready to Lead (R2L®) college readiness program, and R2L NextGen program, a dramatic increase from the 46 students served in 1999.
CHCI programs have helped change the face of Washington, D.C. by creating a pipeline of Latino talent and opening the halls of Congress for Latino students to intern and work in government and policy. CHCI offers paid 2-3 month internships and 9-month fellowships for Latino students and college graduates from across the country. The majority of fellows and interns are first generation to go to college and from families with incomes under $45,000.
EDUCATE - Educational Achievement and College Access
In 2014 CHCI served more than 514,000 through our online Education Center, home to our college access and career development resources including our Directory of Scholarships, Internships, and Fellowships now in its 6th edition, through our Ready to Lead (R2L®) college prep empowerment workshops, and through our High School Latino Leaders in D.C. program.
We awarded 148 cash awards to needy students in 2014, bringing our total investment, since the scholarship program's inception in 2001, to nearly $5.4 million in the Latino community, including over $800,000 worth of lap top computers and software to community college and first year undergraduate scholarship recipients.
CHCI's R2L college readiness workshops served more than 1,399 high school students in seven cities across the country. Furthermore, 2014 marked the forth anniversary of CHCI's R2L NextGen program, which has now provided 140 high school students from cities across the nation with a life-changing one week leadership and educational experience in Washington D.C.
EMPOWER - Leadership Development Programs in Our Nation's Capital
In 2014, CHCI served the largest number of Congressional interns ever, 93, across its three sessions throughout the year and CHCI's 2013-2014 Fellowship Program served 22 college graduates, including 10 Graduate Fellows and 12 Public Policy Fellows. Our premier programs provide unmatched leadership, professional and personal development curriculum to participants and most importantly include monthly stipends, housing in the case of the interns, and round-trip airfare vouchers.
CONNECT - Convening Leaders to Mentor and Showcase Positive Images and Contribution of Latinos
Our proven leadership development model includes providing unmatched exposure for our young Leaders to our extensive network of national leaders in government, public policy, corporate America, non-profit organizations, and labor. This instant and powerful network is vital to the success of these future leaders.
A vital goal for CHCI is to promote a positive image and raise the visibility for the many contributions of Latinos to our great nation. Our main vehicle are our powerful and persuasive events throughout the year. In 2014, we held 42 landmark events that touched more than 19,000 people, generating more than $4.3 million in direct support of our mission.
Our signature events are our annual Hispanic Heritage Month (HHM) events where nearly 5,000 attendees gather for our Public Policy Conference and Annual Awards Gala. The CHCI Annual Awards Gala is the largest Latino gala in the nation, gathering more than 2,250 national leaders together to celebrate our achievements and help us award our highest honors, the CHCI Medallions of Excellence and the CHCI Chair's Award. Our reach during HHM through all of our channels was 15 million in 2014!
For 37 years, CHCI has empowered strong, effective, and committed Latino leaders who are actively changing the economic and public policy landscape in the United States. In 2014 we honored this legacy as we celebrated Building Our Future, Together. Join us in developing the next generation of Latino leaders to ensure a strong America for us all in 2015.

Hi everyone! I just started a hive in May, with a nucleus, and I think the queen died at some point. I was a somewhat neglectful beekeeper, as the person who was meant to help me disappeared and I was skittish. We have a queen now, but I think she's new. As a result, the bees haven't built out very much, and are really only filling a single hive body / deep. They don't have nearly enough honey to survive the winter.
I've been advised to keep feeding them 2:1 sugar syrup through the winter with our hive top feeder; it's the type they can climb up into without leaving the hive at all. It's also been suggested that we shelter the hive in a small shed rather than leaving them to the elements. But I also recently read that they won't eat from a hive top feeder in the winter once they've clustered.
Does anyone have suggestions for helping my small, nascent hive survive the harsh Northeastern winter?

The further south, the warmer the welcome for rugby fans.
Dunedin turned up the heaters in the Forsyth Barr Stadium last night as the All Blacks beat the Springboks 21-11 in front of a sellout crowd of 30,748 fans.
Outside the temperature dropped to 8C with steady drizzle but little wind.
All Black captain Richie McCaw gave the sports arena - known as the "lunch box" - the thumbs up after his first test in the lidded venue.
"I love playing at this stadium," he said, looking up at the roof during a post-match interview. "It's a great place to play."
The only fully enclosed ground in New Zealand already has a reputation as one of the loudests venues in the country, thanks to the echo-type qualities.
However, former All Black coach Laurie Mains also heartily approved of the stadium and congratulated the crowd.
"It was a fabulous occasion for the stadium and fans. The players must have really felt the atmosphere when they ran on to the pitch because the whole place erupted, and the covered stadium makes for an intense atmosphere."
Nichola Keen from Dunedin was blown away too by the atmosphere.
"The city was buzzing before the game and that atmosphere carried on into the ground. Covered stadiums are the way forward."
Former All Black Grahame Thorne said: "It was a fantastic night and the players must have really felt the crowd behind them as soon as they stepped out."
Dunedin mayor Dave Cull said the nail-biting test match had been a fitting first All Black test for the ground.
"It's a fantastic facility ... this is a ground we can be proud of," said Cull.

Friends and colleagues remember Matthew Tyner
Officer Tyner killed in motorcycle crash
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Friends and colleagues are remembering Matthew Tyner, a Colorado Springs Police officer killed in a motorcycle crash Tuesday.
"He was certainly an outgoing officer, he was well-liked and respected by his peers, he loved riding the motorcycle," said CSPD Commander Skip Arms.
Officer Tyner was trying to pull someone over on Austin Bluffs Parkway when a pickup truck turned in front of his motorcycle. The Major Accident Unit is still investigating.
Arms said Tyner was well-known at the police department because he was an instructor at the training academy. Police across the state have joined with Colorado Springs police officers in wearing black mourning bands over their badges.
"It certainly is a tragic event, and it's an impact on all of us because law enforcement really is a family," said Arms.
At a memorial near where Tyner died, even total strangers were visiting Wednesday, leaving a memento and paying their respects.
Former CSPD officer Phil McDonald went through the training academy with Tyner, and called him a wonderful man.
"It sure breaks your heart," said McDonald. "Matt loved life, he loved to live, doing what he enjoyed. He was very passionate about work."
Passionate about a position that can easily prove dangerous.
"He, as all of the motorcycle officers, know they are taking certain risks by being on the motorcycle unit," said Arms. "That is certainly a high risk. They know that, they accept that, and they still want to serve the community."
Before moving to Colorado Springs, Tyner worked for the Kansas City Police Department. Friends said he moved after falling in love with the city and the mountains.
There will be a memorial service for Tyner at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday at New Life Church.

Discuss this Article 1
The reason for all the restrictions for mounting receptacles below an island counter top is because of the appliance cord hanging down far enough so a young child on the floor can grab the cord and pull the hot pot or pan on his or her head. Death has occurred from this. When the counter top extends more than 6 inches the cord hangs lower to the floor. If the receptacles are mounted facing towards the front or rear of the counter top this would be acceptable because the appliance cord would not be hanging down over the end of the counter as long as the counter top does not extend more than 6 inches at the front or back of the island counter top.

MANUFACTURER: Barska
Review This Item
Maximum control and accuracy shot after shot. The BARSKA Tactical 4-16x50 Riflescope, Mil-Dot IR Reticle, Matte Black (AC10774) is designed to give you as much control as possible for extreme type shooting. It has been designed with features like side adjustable parallax and a first focal plane Mil-Dot reticle that allows you to estimate range at all power settings. With the reticle at first focal plane, the reticle expands as the magnification increases. This creates dead-on precision and accuracy.
Side parallax adjustments allow fine adjustment on parallax correction for specific ranges using the turret- mounted focus knob without taking your eyes off the target.
The tactical scope also includes Barska's Accu-Lock system. The Accu-Lock system utilizes a coil spring positioned within the scope to securely lock the inner tube. This coil positioning system allows the scope to stay locked dead-on to the target shot after shot. Rugged and waterproof, you're always on target with BARSKA's Tactical scopes.

Data gathering and controllability offer the quickest path to reliability.
Michael T. Burr , Fortnightly's editor-at-large, also is a consultant and freelance writer based in Minnesota.
Data gathering and controllability offer the quickest path to reliability.
Managing power grids in North America has become much more complicated in recent years, and that complexity grows with each passing day.
For example, wholesale power trading has caused grid operators to re-think the way they monitor system functions and manage reliability. Now they must account for power flows in and out of control territories and reliability regions. Increased demands for service-quality guarantees and enhanced services are stretching utilities' capabilities to the limits. And in the post-9/11 world, grid operators must coordinate and communicate better than ever before.
The August 2003 blackout taught the industry some valuable lessons about what can go wrong when a system loses stability, and it pointed engineers toward solutions that would strengthen the system's survivability in the future. At the same time, these solutions promise to increase efficiencies and bring additional benefits.
Nevertheless, coping with all the added demands and complexities poses a unique set of challenges and opportunities for utilities. The companies that seize the opportunities and make them work in favor of their stakeholders will prove to be the industry's leaders in the 21st century.
To explore the direction the industry is heading, Public Utilities Fortnightly arranged interviews with three executives who offer very different-yet complementary-perspectives on the current state and future of grid-management and information technology (IT) systems in the utility industry.
GridWise: Teaching the Network to Dance
Efforts to improve the utility industry's reliability standards are proceeding on multiple tracks at the same time. One of these tracks is being followed by the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in consortium with a group of utilities and industry vendors. To learn about this effort, Fortnightly spoke with Rob Pratt, PNNL's program manager for the GridWise Alliance.
Fortnightly: What is the GridWise Alliance?
Pratt: To summarize, it is a vision for the future of the power grid, shared by two groups of people. One is a new Department of Energy (DOE) program, and the other is an industry alliance. Both efforts share a vision in which information technology utterly transforms the way in which we plan and operate the power grid, and the groups are dedicated to achieving it sooner rather than later-and with more public benefit.
The alliance includes a variety of different companies and organizations, like BPA, PJM, IBM, AEP, and Con Edison. There are also a lot of high-tech startups involved.
Fortnightly: What is the Alliance doing?
Pratt: Alliance members gather together to try to identify regulatory barriers and help knock them down. We also focus on consensus building for communications protocols and architecture.
One of the basic core directions of GridWise is a focus on the responsibility for maintaining stability and serving peak demand. The responsibility for keeping the lights on will evolve over time to be a shared responsibility between consumers and other parties, including energy service companies that will aggregate demand and perhaps install distributed generation sources.

Where I stayed
Sunset Cottages "Just You and Me"
We had a wonderful time but
four days and three nights are
not enough to really enjoy your
stay We had made reservations
to stay at Honey Bear Cabin,
again. This is where we stayed
when we took our first trip to
Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. We
got checked in and got to Honey
Bear just to find out that all the
electricity was off and of course
they did not know when they could
get it back on
45 minutes and it was cold. The
only heat in the cabin was a gas
fireplace which did not heat up the
cabin to stay warm enough. Hubby
was beginning to get huffy and the
smoke would have started to pour
out his ears over this...if you know
what I mean. This may be the reason
they call this the Smokies! So,
anyway, they sent us up to the Arrow
Head Trail Cabins It was a nice place
but it was not Honey Bear. We got
over it and really had a good time.
Time went by so fast, we did not get
to play one hand of cards...that I did
was it cold that night. We dressed
appropriately...so we stayed warm.
We rode the train, went into just about
everyone of the shops. Took in a show.
We ate what ever was our fancy. None
of the big rides were running because
it was just too cold. We watched the
lights come on. Saw the Christmas Tree
Light Show but did not stay for the parade
this time. We wanted to spend sometime
back at the cabin to enjoy it. Riding on the
tram back to the truck like to have froze our
you know whats. Those seats were cold!
We did drive into Gatlinburg and enjoyed
watching the festivities
pretty all lit up. We enjoyed watching all
the people walking the strip. It was fun and
seemed like laughter was everywhere. We,
also, ate at our favorite place, The Mill. So,
good! Also, we ate at a Catfish place. It, too,
was good. Hubby fixed breakfast our first
morning...he makes the best biscuits. I believe,
Bobby Flay could not win a "Throw Down" over
my hubby's biscuits. Also, hubby wanted to buy
me some Indian Boots. We could not find but
one place in Gatlinburg that had the boots I
wanted except one place and they did not have
my size. We did find and get the boots I wanted
on the way out of Pigeon Forge.
Well, it was sweet sorrow having to leave. I
would have liked to have stayed one more day.
Thanks, again, Father. The mountains and the
time spent... were beautiful!

Dear Anna,
we loved our stay in your beautiful villa! We felt immediately at home. You were so kind to show us the entire house when we arrived to early. We will definately return some time when we have the opportunity. The ambiance was so cosy and the facilities where fantastic as well as the view.......stunning! Thank you so much for everything. Goodluck in the future. With kind regards family Bemelmans, family Esseling and family Willems from the Netherlands.
A very nice, big house in the old town. With arches from 1771! We enjoyed it very much.
The house is great. You have enough room, beautiful pool and everything is clean. Two minor issues: 1. The owner can only speak Spanish, so that can be difficult. 2. The bed in one of the rooms was clearly at the end of his life.
The service from 'Charming Islands' was perfect. They are 24hours available and the service is good and swift.
We had a great vacation.
one word description: AWESOME!
Beautiful house in a beautiful, quiet surrounding.
a lot of privacy and a perfect porch next to the pool.
very friendly people!
...aside from german neighboors, which complain about noise of beeping birds and some music, it was just a perfect vacation!
location is close to highway - 15 min to beach.
Only things missing: cooler, guitar and music amp
absolutely recommendable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice house with lots of space, well equipped kitchen and lovely garden. Walking-distance to the lively center of Valldemossa.
We had a fabulous two weeks at Can Maria with friends, (3 couples) the finca was spotless, and well equipped. Perfectly located in the beautiful and very peaceful countryside, to see the whole island without spending too much time in the car. The hosts were a delight! Fresh eggs, oranges and beer on tap! Not to mention the traditional Mallorcan Tart on our last night - delicious!
We will definitely be returning!
Wij hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad, alles perfect geregeld. Huis is van alle gemakken verzien. Bij aankomst alles keurig met zelfs verse bloemen in huis.
Omgeving fantastisch, enige minpunt zijn de harde matrassen maar wij zouden zo weer gaan.
Het is een heerlijk huisje voor 4 personen
Alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig (de keuken is zeer compleet uitgerust)
Wij hebben echt genoten van de ruimte en de rust

The Destination
Everything flows a little more freely in Los Cabos, Mexico. Here, where the Pacific meets the Gulf of California, trendy hotels, cutting-edge restaurants, and to-die-for shopping create a hotbed of activity that gives new meaning to the word "sizzle." From the liquid libations that pour nightly (and daily) from an endless stream of beach bars to the rolling waves that kiss the sugar-sand shores, this resort city definitely promotes a glass-half-full mentality.
The Digs
Nestled away from the crowds, yet still close to the action, Bel Air Collection Resort & Spa Los Cabos is a sensational place to take a breather on the Baja Peninsula. Spanish Colonial décor is spread throughout this all-inclusive oasis, where unlimited eats and drinks ensure your stay is equal parts leisure and libation. In guest rooms, terra-cotta hues and airy curtains create an inviting ambiance, while amenities like cable TV, plush duvets, and a mini bar guarantee comforts are within arm's reach.
The Diversions
With the ocean and an infinity-edge pool steps away, you'll never bemoan your time away from home. Enjoy the sunset with a glass of sparkling wine, savor a continental breakfast, and unwind at tea time with a warm beverage and pastries. And while lazing on the beach or in the spa has its perks, there's plenty of action in the area to keep you moving: big-game fishing, world-class golf, scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, and horseback riding, to name a few.
"We chose this resort to celebrate our 10th anniversary and were utterly charmed... The grounds included a second pool and a fire pit that we were able to cozy up to at night while listening to the waves crashing on the beach."-- TripAdvisor

Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to meteorology and to yachting.
The clouds are always speaking, and Bob McDavitt is one of the few people in New Zealand who has dedicated his life to understanding their language.
The former MetService ambassador, who has earned the reputation of the "face of New Zealand weather", is made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to meteorology and yachting.
He says weather forecasting isn't a job for everyone, with only about around 40 people in the country choosing it as a career, but he wouldn't want to do anything else.
"It's a fascinating job. The clouds have always got something to tell you if you know how to read them - they're always speaking to you."
He became interested in meteorology as a schoolboy in April 1968 when one of the worst storms in New Zealand's history knocked the chimney off his house, and sank the passenger ferry Wahine in Wellington Harbour, killing 53 people.
A few years later he found work with the NZ Meteorological Service, which became the MetService in 1992, and worked there for 35 years.
He earned a reputation for his easy-to-understand forecasts and for promoting friendly relations with the public, which helped him to retain the MetService weather ambassador role for the 20 years to 2011.
"Meteorology requires a certain type of language that people within that discipline will use to communicate. However, if you're a meteorologist but also a weather ambassador your job is to simplify that so that people can understand it.
"I like to think of things rather simply, so people like my forecasts because they're written in simple language."
The job has also allowed Mr McDavitt to be involved with another of his passions, sailing, and he is a veteran of the 1988 and 1992 America's Cup campaigns.
A high point of his career was working with the New Zealand sailing team at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, in which they won four medals, including gold for Barbara Kendall.
Mr McDavitt is semi-retired - "in cruise mode" - now, but still puts out a weekly weather bulletin used by more than 500 sailors.
He's keeping an eye on the weather for Scottish sailor Jeanne Socrates, who is doing her third circumnavigation of the world to celebrate her 70th birthday.
He is still fascinated by the weather and enjoys the "artistic" aspects of his work. "Weather is a mixture of pattern and chaos."

UALR Breaks Losing Streak
TROY, AL – The UALR men's basketball (13-15, 8-8 SBC) team held on for a 62-55 win over Troy (9-18, 4-11 SBC) Thursday night at Trojan Arena. Leading by as many as 11 in the second half, UALR let its lead shrink to three with 1:12 remaining before scoring the game's final four points to hold on for the win and snap a five-game losing streak.
The victory is the 100th Sun Belt win in the career of head coach Steve Shields, making him just the fifth coach in conference history to hit the milestone.
The win also assures UALR of a bid to this year's Sun Belt Tournament in New Orleans, La., March 13-16.
Junior Ben Dillard scored 18 points on a 4-of-8 effort from the floor and a perfect 8-of-8 performance at the foul line. Senior Leroy Isler and sophomore Josh Hagins scored eight points each. Junior Gus Leeper chipped in seven points and four rebounds.
UALR held a 32-30 edge on the glass and outscored Troy 28-20 in the paint. UALR's reserves held a 22-6 edge in bench scoring, led by Hagins and Leeper.
Down 29-24 at the half, Troy scored eight of the first 11 points after intermission to tie the game at 32-all. UALR immediately answered with two free throws by Dillard to retake the lead, eventually pushing its lead out to six on two more Dillard free throws at the 11:59 mark.
A transition finish by freshman Maurius Hill put the Trojans up 44-36 with 10:24 to play. Dillard followed with a triple to push UALR's lead to 11, its largest of the game, with 9:32 remaining.
Troy battled back to cut the deficit to four on a 3-pointer by Hunter Willliams, then to three on a free throw by Jeff Mullahey with 5:28 to go. Hagins answered with a bucket following an offensive board, then Isler added a field goal on UALR's next possession to put the Trojans up 58-51 with 3:36 to play, forcing a Troy timeout.
Another Williams 3-pointer with 3:23 cut UALR's lead to 58-54. Following a two-minute drought for both teams, Antoine Myers hit one of two at the line to pull Troy within three with 1:12 to play.
After both teams came up empty on their next possessions, Dillard was fouled and hit both free throws to put UALR up 60-55. Following another empty possession for Troy, Hagins hit two free throws with two seconds remaining to ice the game.
Tevin Calhoun led Troy with 16 points on the night. Mullahey and Williams added 12 each.
UALR scored the first seven points of the game, but Troy answered with 9 of the next 12 to make it 10-9 on Tevin Calhoun's layup with 14:29 to play in the half. Troy continued its run to tie the game at 14-all on a 3-pointer by Wes Hinton with 11:33 to play in the half.
Gus Leeper scored back-to-back buckets for the Trojans to push UALR's lead back to five, 22-17, with under eight minutes to go in the half. Following a Troy turnover, James White added a dunk in transition to make it a seven-point lead for the Trojans.
Troy whittled UALR's lead down to two before another bucket by Leeper made it 27-23 with less than three minutes to play in the half. DeVonte Smith pumped fake before finishing in the paint to make it a five-point cushion for the Trojans heading into halftime.
UALR is back in action this Saturday against Arkansas State at the Jack Stephens Center. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m.

In the wake of its chaotic state convention, the Maine Republican Party has cleverly positioned itself to appeal to a whole new segment of the public: Anarchists.
While the straitlaced GOP might seem like an unattractive option for shaggy bomb-throwers with poor personal hygiene, there appears to be some common ground. On the convention floor, supporters of presidential candidate Ron Paul were heard chanting lyrics from the Sex Pistols' "Anarchy in the U.K." "Don't know what I want, but I know how to get it," they shouted, while randomly dismantling the agenda, the platform, and the party leadership.
In an effort to redirect the Paul-bearers' march toward pandemonium, Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney's campaign urged his followers to sing "God Save The Queen." Since no one has ever referred to Mitt as a queen, that desperate move made no sense and only added to the general air of disarray.
In the midst of this bedlam, the Ron-ettes managed to nominate a slate of delegates to the GOP National Convention that includes:
John Birch Society member Landon St. Peter, whose online musings include this party-crashing query: "As there's NO substantive difference between Romney and Obama, why would anyone vote for either??"
Pete "the Carpenter" Harring, Maine Tea Party founder, whose blogging scorn is strictly nonpartisan: "Both parties are trying to divide us and it is working," followed by 16 exclamation points.
Eric Brakey, the head of Paul's campaign in Maine, who, until recently, was a member of the Libertarian Party of New York.
Stavros Mendros, who pleaded guilty in 2007 to falsely notarizing petition signatures, was the front man for the unsuccessful 2011 casino referendum in Lewiston and during his time as a state representative was described by a reporter as "shrill, impatient, egotistical, self-serving, vastly ineffective and a political opportunist."
Eat your heart out, Sid Vicious.
The nearest thing to a normal delegate the Paul-verizers could support was Governor Paul LePage, who's officially uncommitted. Maybe, they just liked his first name.
In practical terms, the reduction of the Republican convention to rubble produced only modest immediate fallout. The six US Senate candidates lost out on a chance to distinguish themselves by seeing which could choreograph the best "spontaneous" floor demonstration. The party's state committee got stacked with Ron-droids programmed to fire GOP chairman Charlie Webster. And the delegate selections may be invalidated by legal challenges from miffed Mitt-ens, thereby proving that more than one side can pander to the anarchists.
Of those results, only the possible ouster of Webster is likely to have serious implications. He was the architect of the Republicans' surprise victories in the 2010 legislative races. Without his undivided attention on the 2012 elections, it's all but certain the GOP will lose control of the state House, and their Senate majority will shrink.
Webster was adept at keeping his recruits on message. His Paul-try attackers have displayed no such skill. The party's prospects won't be improved by being linked to crackpots claiming the United Nations is secretly attempting to take over the local planning board.
For mainstream Republicans, this year will likely go down as an opportunity lost. With Maine Democrats lacking both strong leaders and a clear message — except that they oppose anything LePage does — the GOP could have employed a unified battle plan to cement the gains it made two years ago, and position itself for a decade of dominance in Augusta.

|(Tip toeing across Lady Liberty's forehead.)
I love that it doesn't have to be an all day production. It was 2pm when we finally made up our minds to go. The island closes at 7pm, so even though we got there at 3ish, we still had plenty of time for fun without over doing it. Plus, the weather had cooled down and most of the people had gone home. It was perfect.
Most importantly, we still had time to order ice cream from a Mister Softee Truck. Of all things, Ella ordered a snow cone, Oscar chose Sponge Bob with bubblegum eyes, and Owen picked Sonic with bubble gum eyes. They totally ignore the fact that Mr. Softee makes the best soft served ice cream in the world. I even offer to sprulge on getting their cones dipped! Cherry, Chocloate, even Blue Mystery flavor! Anything! Please pick something without bubble gum eyes! Blank stares. Mr.Softee is totally wasted on them. Might as well be a 7/11.
Beyond ice cream, I love the sculptures and art found through the island. This year includes 1/1 ratio of the Statue of Liberty's face and a gathering of crazy red chairs, among other things. There's also a donation golf course that is so visually interesting. We noticed it too late (closes at 6pm) so we couldn't play. I didn't take any pictures of the course because perhaps I'll go back and do a post about it later?
There's only so much picture taking I can take in one day before I start to drive my family bonkers. I'd already shot a bunch of butterfly pics and then Lady Liberty became my next obsession. Enough is enough. But isn't the sculpture fabulous? I love the perspective and statement of standing and jumping off of the Statue of Liberty's nose. What does it allllll mean?
