London Transport used black "E" plates with white lettering for night routes to distinguish them from the daytime services. These plates are far less common than the white versions as there were, until the 1990s, relatively few all-night routes. They are rarely seen nowadays, especially as it was such a small network of routes with many "E" plate variations. Unfortunately, the black enamel plates never seem to survive particularly well. Split night routes come in many combinations, and some of them are extremely difficult to find, having often been produced for just a single stop.
This "E" plate will have come from a stop with a limited service, and is extremely rare.
|← Routes N84 and N97 only ran together in the up direction between Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square, which is wheere this plate likely came from. Both routes also served Liverpool Street Sttation, but as the N88 only visted there irregularly, that stop probably had a SEE BELOW "E" plate.
Route N84 was renumbered from 284 in 1960, which itself had been introduced only a few months earlier to replace the night trolleybus service on route 665. It ran between Trafalgar Square and Poplar via Piccadilly Circus, Bloomsbury, Theobalds Road, Old Street, Clerkenwell, Great Eastern Street, Shoreditch, Aldgate, Stepney East and Limehouse; with a single journey extended to Barking via Canning Town, Plaistow, Upton Park and East Ham. The service was very irregular, and comprised just one bus running along the route. Subsequently the timetable was revised and the Barking journey was extended to Becontree Heath via Longbridge Road, and the service between Bloomsbury and Trafalgar Square reduced to just one trip. Latterly the journeys to and from Liverpool Street for driver meal breaks were "livened up" to run in service. The service has long since been withdrawn and now forms part of 24-hour route 15.
Route N97 was similarly renumbered from 297 in 1960. It ran between Liverpool Street and Turnham Green Garage via Bank, St. Paul's, Ludgate Circus, Fleet Street, Strand, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Green Park, Hyde Park Corner, Knightsbridge, South Kensington, Fulham Broadway, Dawes Road, Hammersmith and Stamford Brook. It was subsequently rerouted to serve Earl''s Court. In 1977, when the Piccadilly Line was extended to Heathrow, the N97 was extended to Heathrow Airport via Chiswick, Gunnersbury, Brentford, Isleworth, Hounslow, Hounslow West, Cranford and Harlington Corner, and at the same time was introduced on Saturday night/Sunday morning and substantially increased in frequency. This was the start of a steady increase in the night bus network which has resulted in the extensive network that we have today. The route still runs today, but only between Trafalgar Square and Hammersmith, having been replaced to Heathrow by route N9.
Route N85 was renumbered from 285 in 1960. It ran from Victoria Embankment to Grove Park Station via Blackfriars, Elephant & Castle, Old Kent Road, Bricklayers Arms, New Cross, Lewisham, Catford and Downham Way. It was subsequently rerouted to serve Trafalgar Square via Fleet Street and the Strand. The route now forms part of today's route N36. Routes N86 and N87 are described below.
|These three "E" plates show an interesting variation in letter sizes.
This split "E" plate is unusual in several ways: it is painted aluminum, there is no dividing line between the two routes, and the figure 8s are of a different style composed of two circles rather than with the lines crossing in the middle.
It is astonishingly rare to find triple split "E" plates at the best of times, and being a night plate makes this one even more unusual. The three routes ran in parallel between Victoria Embankment and Elephant & Castle. This plate would have been produced for a stop which had a great many routes serving it, possibly the Trafalgar Square terminus.
Route N86 was renumbered from 286 in 1960. It ran from Victoria Embankment to New Cross Brockley Rise (Chandos) via Blackfriars, Elephant & Castle, Camberwell Green and Peckham. Subsequently a couple of journeys were extended to Brockley Rise (Chandos) via Brockley. Some years later it was rerouted to serve Trafalgar Square via Fleet Street and Strand and now forms part of route N171.
Route N91 was renumbered from 291 at the same time. (The 291 was the first night bus route, starting before the First World War.) It ran between Liverpool Street and Willesden Garage via Bank, St. Paul's, Ludgate Circus, Fleet Street, Strand, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Circus, Marble Arch, Edgware Road, Harrow Road and Harlesden. It was subsequently rerouted to serve Paddington Station, and the route now forms part of today's route 6, which runs 24 hours.
The N87 was a long-standing night-route with its origins as an all-night tram service. Introduced as route 287 after the withdrawal of the trams in 1952, it ran in both directions around a circular route in a figure of "8" from Victoria Embankment via Westminster, Kennington, Balham, Clapham, Tooting, Streatham, Brixton, Stockwell, Kennington, Elephant & Castle and Blackfriars back to Victoria Embankment. It was re-numbered N87 in 1960 in order to free up its original number for the new bus routes which were replacing the trolleybus services from the late 1950s. In later years it was rerouted to serve Whitehall, Trafalgar Square, Strand and Fleet Street instead of Victoria Embankment. Buses ran both ways around the loops every 24 minutes, which in those days made it the most frequent (and regular) night bus. It was replaced in the mid-90s by a number of other routes when the re-organisation and enhancement of the night bus network took place, and is now covered mainly by the 88, today's N44 and the N133.
Like many night bus plates, this plate was not manufactured to a particularly high quality and bears a number of small chips and scratches. It probably dates from the 1970s.
Of special note is the smaller-than-usual N on this "E" plate.
This plate will probably have come from the bus stop at the entrance to Brixton Garage, served only by buses terminating from the north, which did not make the normal stop outside the garage. As far as I know, there would not have been any other bus stops that would have been served only by terminating buses. I believe this to be an astonishingly rare plate and only two would have been made.
This "E" plate may have come from Kennington, where southbound buses ran to Streatham via both Tooting Broadway and Brixton.
This plate likely came from somewhere along the Trafalgar Square–Strand corridor.
Routes N87 and N97 ran together along Fleet Street and the Strand.
Route N88 was renumbered from route 288 in 1960. The route ran between Wandsworth (Armoury Way) and Farringdon Street via Battersea, Albert Embankment, Parliament Square, Trafalgar Square and Aldwych. Meal relief journeys to Liverpool Street were "livened up" in 1975, and the route was also diverted to run via Whitehall, Trafalgar Square, Strand and Aldwych instead of Victoria Embankment in the 1970s.

Analyzing and publishing the results of a children's obesity treatment needs assessment
The rise in the prevalence of adult obesity in the United States is a disturbing trend and a major public health concern. A particularly disturbing trend is the rise in childhood obesity. Recent studies have linked obesity in children to an increased prevalence of asthma and Type 2 diabetes, which is typically not seen in children. The role of practitioners (physicians, nurses) is central to helping children change their diets and increase their physical activity. Although the literature has established the epidemiology of childhood obesity, practitioners experience a number of barriers to providing effective behavior management to obese children and adolescents. In preparation for producing a counseling guide with treatment options for practitioners, barriers to and attitudes toward treatment and counseling of obese children were assessed through a national survey of practitioners. Harris Interactive, Inc., conducted the survey. The results are being analyzed and prepared for publication and dissemination as a special supplement in a peer-reviewed journal. This one-year grant will support in-depth analysis, publication and dissemination of assessment results in the American Journal of Pediatrics.

For a warm-and-spicy fragrance with a more exotic air, try Histoire de Parfums Noir Patchouli.
Availability: In stock
Without a doubt, 1969 was a year of earnest passion. Kurt Vonnegut published Slaughterhouse Five. The Stonewall riots erupted. And don't get us started on that moon landing. This sweet and subtle fragrance is an homage to the era, with a blend of spicy top notes—and a warm chocolate base—that will get your blood pumping.
Thoughtfully inspired by the spirit of the '60s, this warm and complex fragrance is a date-night champ. Top notes of peach lead to mid notes of clove and cardamom, followed by a warm, musky base of patchouli, chocolate, and coffee.
Alcohol Denat., Parfum (fragrance), Aqua (water), Linalook, Citronellol, Eugenol, Cinnamal, Limonene
This is a nice scent for winter, heavier and more seasonal. But too expensive for me!
I actually passed this scent to my husband, who is enjoying it!
It was too musky smelling for my personal taste. The scent did last long though!
I didn't think I would like this, I am very picky about what scent I wear. But I fell in love with this after wearing for a few minutes and stayed in love all day long. It has a nice clean smell that you do t get tired of after a long day
It definitely is reminiscent of the 60s with a blend of patchouli and clove. It is a scent that you will either love or hate. You have to like a musky scent to enjoy it. Definitely for the hippies at heart.
I usually don't wear a lot of perfume, but I love this

- Bolt-On Tech (EJ205 2.0L '02-05 WRX) (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f52/)
- - Is VF-46 CHRA Compatible with a VF-40 (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f52/vf-46-chra-compatible-vf-40-a-37033/)
Is VF-46 CHRA Compatible with a VF-40
After 125,000 miles my VF-40 went out on my '06 OB XT. I pulled the turbo last night and the turbine wheel had sheered completely off and was quite beat up, the turbine housing doesn't appear to be any worse for the wear. I am just going to remove the banjo bolt filters and replace the CHRA, and do an oil flush. I don't want to put a whole lot of money into the car since I, unfortunately, have to sell it. But I want to do it right for the next person.
Anyway, the first question I have is whether or not a VF46 cartridge will fit into the VF40 housings? Second, if it does, is there any advantage to doing so? Third, since a few metal pieces, even though they are fairly small, made it into the downpipe/cat, should that to be replaced?
Thanks much for the help.
You could call up Blouch turbo tomorrow and ask them what they think. [url=http://www.bptstore.com]www.BlouchTurbo.com[/url]
They should be compatible.

Miners Eager For Memphis Opportunity
March 4, 2013
The UTEP basketball team will likely play before its largest home crowd of the season on Tuesday when the 25th-ranked Memphis Tigers return to the Haskins Center. Tip-off is at 7 p.m.
The Last Meeting
March 8, 2012
Memphis, Tenn.
"I think anytime you're playing a ranked team, everybody gets energized," UTEP coach Tim Floyd said. "Memphis, though, has dealt with this on a nightly basis every time they go on the road. They get everybody's best shot. Up until last week, they were the only undefeated team in the country on the road. Our place will be jacked up for it and I know our players will be, and I hope we'll play well."
The Tigers (25-4, 14-0 C-USA) own a 21-game winning streak versus C-USA opponents (includes tournament games) since losing at home to UTEP, 60-58, on Feb. 18, 2012.
Memphis ranks fourth nationally in blocked shots (6.5 avg.), seventh in assists (16.9 avg.), 15th in field goal percentage (.479) and 17th in steals (9.0 avg.). The Tigers lead C-USA in seven statistical cat¬egories for league games only -- scoring (77.5 ppg), scoring margin (+13.6 ppg), field goal per¬centage (.490), field goal percentage defense (.393), blocks (7.1 avg.), assists (18.5 apg) and assist/turnover ratio (1.2).
"I think the country has been sleeping on them," Floyd said. "They had a rough outing over at Xavier. But I thought, in the games they played against Southern Miss, that I was looking at the best team in the country just based on their energy, the way they shared the ball and moved the ball, how they were guarding and forcing turnovers, and their dominance on the glass. It's a veteran team with juniors and seniors now and they're playing at a high level."
Seven Tigers average better than seven points per game led by junior guard Joe Jackson (13.9 ppg). Sophomore forward/guard Adonis Thomas av¬erages 11.7 ppg and junior guard Geron Johnson 10.4 ppg. Senior forward/guard D.J. Stephens is the team's leading rebounder with a 6.8 average.
The Miners have held five straight opponents under 60 points for the first time since the 1991-92 season. They'll have to put together another bang-up job of defensive work to stay with the Tigers, who are 8-1 on the road this season. They'll also have to find a way to counter Memphis' size and strength on the interior.
"Rebounding is always a key when you play against these guys," Floyd said. "Tarik Black, [Shaq] Goodwin, Stephens, Adonis Thomas are some of the more physical players in the league. I told our staff, I'm going to do something this year that I've never done. I'm going to vote all five Memphis players for first team all-league. That's really what I believe. I don't think there is a guy in our league that's deserving of saying I could go in there and start on Memphis' team right now."
Floyd doesn't think his team will be in awe of the Tigers after tangling with the likes of Arizona, Oklahoma, UNLV, Oregon and Colorado State in the first two months of the season.
"We played [against] some of the better teams in the United States in our pre-conference schedule," he said. "Unfortunately we don't have many skins to show for it. So this will be a great opportunity."
The Miners will honor three seniors - Malcolm Moore, Jacques Streeter and Konner Tucker - prior to their home finale on Tuesday. It's also the Noche Latina game, so UTEP players will wear commemorative Mineros jerseys.
UTEP (16-12, 9-5 C-USA) can clinch the number three seed in next week's Conference USA Tournament with a win in either of its last two games. The Miners will play at SMU on Saturday at 1 p.m.
"It certainly is an incentive," Floyd said. "Just to win a game would be important, but to be able to beat a top-20 team in Memphis would also be important from a confidence standpoint.
"I think the most significant thing is you have so much respect for Memphis that you know if you do beat them and you're fortunate enough to win your first two games [in the conference tournament], that you would not have to see them until the championship round. A loss may mean that you're going to have to see them in the second round. We'd much prefer to allow somebody else to have the opportunity to knock them off in the first two rounds."

Rehab Updates From Extended Spring Training
Several well-known Oakland A's prospects are currently rehabbing injuries at the A's minor league complex as part of the extended spring training program. We received updates on the progress of some of those rehabs from A's Director of Player Development Keith Lieppman.
A's 2012 supplemental first round pick Daniel Robertson is progressing well with his rehab from off-season knee surgery. Robertson has been playing in extended spring training games, and, according to Lieppman, if everything continues to go well, Robertson should be ready to be sent out to Low-A Beloit next week.
The news isn't as good on A's 2013 second round pick Nolan Sanburn. The right-hander injured his shoulder during spring training and has been rehabbing the injury ever since. He has yet to start his throwing program and is currently on a strengthening program. Once he is cleared to throw, Sanburn will need to build his pitch count back up before he can be sent out to Low-A Beloit.
Outfielder Rashun Dixon is on a hitting progression as part of his recovery from a strained oblique. Dixon injured his oblique just days before the end of spring training. He is scheduled to start appearing in extended spring training games next week, according to Lieppman. Dixon was set to report to High-A Stockton before his injury.
Infielder Chih-Fang Pan is expected to miss much of the season with a shoulder injury that required surgery. The native of Taiwan has struggled with injuries throughout his minor league career. The 22-year-old spent last season with Low-A Burlington, appearing in 83 games for the Bees. He hit only .243 last year, but batted .336 and .331 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Taylor Optioned To Sacramento
As expected the A's have optioned OF Michael Taylor back to Triple-A Sacramento to make room for Casper Wells on the team's 25-man roster. Wells was acquired by the A's for cash from the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. Taylor spent 10 days with the A's but received little playing time. In three games, he had six at-bats. Taylor hit the ball well, but didn't have any hits. He is batting .410 with three homers in nine games for the River Cats this season.
Other News And Notes
- Evan Scribner, who was optioned back to Sacramento over the weekend, was officially added to the River Cats' roster on Tuesday. Scribner was replaced on the A's roster by Jesse Chavez.
- Dan Straily won his third start in as many tries for the River Cats when he beat Reno on Monday night. Straily allowed just one unearned run in six innings in the win. His command wasn't as good as it has been in his other two starts, however, as he walked five and struck-out four. Straily now carries a 20:6 K:BB in 18.2 innings for the River Cats.
- Adam Rosales, on a rehab assignment for the A's, went 1-for-4 with the River Cats on Monday night. Rosales is now 8-for-21 in five rehab games with Sacramento and Stockton. He could return to the A's this weekend.
- Daric Barton had two hits on Monday night and has now put together three straight multi-hit games. He is batting .339/.444/.492 in 59 at-bats for the River Cats this season.
- Jeremy Barfield cracked a long walk-off homer for the RockHounds in their Monday night win over Corpus Christi. The homer was Barfield's third of the season. Homers accounted for all of Midland's runs in the game, as Anthony Aliotti hit a solo homer for Midland's other run.- Sean Murphy made his Double-A debut and pitched very well. He allowed just one run on five hits and three walks. Murphy struck-out five. The Midland bullpen was excellent in relief of Murphy, as Nate Long and Jeff Urlaub combined to toss 2.1 scoreless innings. Urlaub got the win.
- The Stockton Ports were off on Monday, but over the weekend, they had two transactions. RHP Pedro Vidal was promoted to Triple-A Sacramento and RHP Max Perlman was added to the roster from extended spring training.
- The Beloit Snappers have been on a nice run lately and they moved back to .500 with a 3-2 win over the Clinton LumberKings on Monday. Raul Alcantara earned the win with another solid outing, his third in a row. Alcantara gave up two runs on eight hits and two walks in 6 innings to earn the win. Since allowing five earned runs in 3.2 innings on Opening Night, Alcantara has given up four runs in 18.1 innings pitched. Chris Lamb (1.2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 BB, 1 K) and Ryan Dull (1.1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 BB, 3 K) closed out the win for Beloit. Chris Bostick had a double and a triple and he scored twice, while Ryan Mathews, Sam Roberts and Bruce Maxwell each added doubles.

Why This Flu Season Shouldn't Shock You
This week, an incredible revelation took the world by storm. The news was featured worldwide and sent millions into reactions of frustration, anger and even worry. Yet those who were in the know understood that there was no surprise; in fact it should have been known for some time.
Of course, this had nothing to do with cycling.
The 2012-2013 influenza virus season has shocked North America with its early start and high numbers of both cases as well as deaths. In the United States, the percentage of deaths attributed to flu and pneumonia has reached over the epidemic level of 7.1 per cent and continues to rise. Forty-eight of the 50 States are registering widespread activity and most of Canada has at least localized activity with the most populated regions suffering from one of the worst seasons in a decade.
Yet for microbiologists, this has been a rather "healthy" flu season, but not one that should instill any panic. Moreover, the surge of concern and panic is somewhat unwarranted, especially considering the world knew almost eight months ago that this was coming.
Influenzavirus has a traditionally seasonal profile that offers those of us in North America a distinct advantage. The virus first affects the Southern Hemisphere during their winter season, our summer. During that time, the rate of infections, the hospitalizations, the rate of spread and unfortunately, the number of deaths provide more than just a clue as to what we should expect in the subsequent winter season.
In the case of this year's flu season, data from Australia mimics exactly what we are experiencing now. The season started early and was aggressive. About two-thirds of the cases were due to an H3N2 virus, close to a third of cases were found to be influenza B and a handful of cases were the swine flu, also known as H1N1pdm. The season started early and showed an aggression not seen since the 2003-2004 season. The number of deaths also showed epidemic rates. The rate of vaccine uptake was just over half and there were some shortages in areas of the country.
What perhaps is even more unfortunate is that the warnings were actually sent out to the public, as early as September of 2012. Back then, the CDC was already warning the public that the upcoming flu season, based on the fact that what had happened "down under" was going to be significant and could lead to significant burden not only on health but also on life itself. Yet few heeded the warnings until well into December when the epidemic was in full swing.
Over the coming months, the flu will eventually decline and by the spring, the worry and concern will be gone for yet another year. Yet many will look back at this time and wonder why there was so little attention paid leading up to the start of the season and then why there was such a panic in the first few weeks of this month. Several excuses will be proffered, including a lack of interest on the part of the public and the "Crying Wolf" theory due to the disparity between the relatively benign impact of the 2009 pandemic flu and the perceived overzealous response; but perhaps the real reason stems from the fact that in the context of history, influenza has become less of a threat than ever before.
A simple exploration of the last century of influenza records in the United States reveal that the number of deaths attributed to this virus has dropped dramatically. Even at the height of the 1918 pandemic, one of the worst seen in history, the number of deaths were about 350 cases for every 100,000 people. That's less than one-tenth of one per cent of the population. During the next half-century, the numbers never reached higher than 100 deaths per 100,000. Today, those numbers are less than 1 per 100,000. That is one of the reasons mortality is now considered to be a measure of all deaths as opposed to a fraction of the current population.
But even if it's not a significant killer, influenza still represents a large burden in a different manner. In today's world of 24/7 connectivity and the necessities of work and home life, the concept of having to suffer between 10 days and three weeks with an illness is anathema. From an economic perspective, the loss of productivity equals close to $100 billion dollars in the US. These two points alone suggest that even though the life or death worry may be gone, there still exists good reason to be concerned and also to be prepared.
Perhaps this year's flu "shock" will prime us to be a little more vigilant in the future. Perhaps we'll pay more attention to hygiene, especially hand hygiene; seek out the flu shot in October, when there are no lines instead of January when the lines are long; and do our best to not panic should the numbers be a little higher than normal, and more importantly, not to ignore the flu should the season be mild.
SEE: The 10 things you need to know about norovirus:
The virus is spread through an infected person's feces or vomit, and often by unwashed hands. "It's not that it's in food, but more often than not, it's in the environment," says Dr. Gerald Evans, a professor of medicine, biomedical and molecular sciences at Queen's University, and the medical director for infection prevention and control at Kingston General Hospital. "You don't want to know how much stuff from people's intestinal tracts is all over the environment."
The most common places for norovirus to spread are residences where many people are living together — nursing homes, for example, or cruise ships.
The clinical syndrome is characterized by nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, though for some, it can also include a fever and abdominal pain. It comes on very suddenly — usually within 10 hours of transmission — and lasts one to three days. After three days, it's no longer contagious.
Anyone can get norovirus, but it can be a particularly bad illness for the very young, and the very old. "Healthy people who get it feel awful, but they recover quickly," says Dr. Evans. "The problem is when it combines with other ailments. For very old people who might have other health problems, it can have serious effects, while very young people can dehydrate much more quickly." Interestingly, the virus particularly likes people with the blood group O, which constitutes about 45 per cent of the population. This is thanks to the receptor the virus attaches itself to. If you have another blood type, you can still get norovirus, but the disease will likely not be as severe.
"Lay low and wait for yourself to get better," advises Dr. Evans. There's no treatment, and while medical professionals advise keeping fluids up, Dr. Evans acknowledges this can be difficult, given the nature of the illness. "We want people to try to hydrate themselves as best they can, but it can hard," he says. "Because it's usually just one day, the situation doesn't get too dire, but every so often, we see perfectly healthy adults coming into the emergency room for intravenous fluids to get hydrated again."
You'll want to practice good hygiene in order to reduce the possibility that you'll ingest the virus, recommends Dr. Evans, and of course, try to avoid being in a circumstance where you can get the virus. "We really encourage handwashing, but I won't tell you will absolutely not get sick if you wash your hands," he says. "Viruses are tiny little particles, and it doesn't always matter how fastidious you are at cleaning things — they get everywhere."
The biggest problem, notes Dr. Evans, is that the virus is very transmissible, and can easily pass from person to person. It's also quite the trial on your health. "It's very traumatic," says Dr. Evans. "It's amazing how fast it starts, and it's amazing how bad you feel for at least a day or two. Most people who get it would rather have anything else."
The flu is an entirely different illness than norovirus. As Dr. Evans explains, the flu takes place in the respiratory system, while norovirus is a gastroenterological illness. Besides the lack of cough and cold in norovirus, it also has a much short lifespan: Three days vs. the flu's five to seven-day stint.
Norwalk is an old term for norovirus, says Dr. Evans. "Viruses are always named geographically, and the first norovirus was discovered in Norwalk, Ohio, so it was given that name. It's been since changed to give the group of viruses the name 'norovirus.'"
"As far as we know, there are no long-term effects — it's a very self-limited illness," says Dr. Evans. "The biggest, scariest thing about noro is that you're never immune to it, because there are a bunch of different strains. Once you get it, you can pretty well guarantee you will get it again."

Every little bit matters for every one - even Avista
Avista makes little changes that add up to energy savings – you can too
Post by
Sarah Richards
Who says you can't reduce your energy usage without suffering the consequences of an inconvenient temperature setting? Well … Avista does.
To help reduce energy use, Avista
optimized its programmable ther-
mostats in the building, like the
one shown above. Installing and
programming a programmable the-
rmostat is one of the many low-cost
ways to save on energy. You can
learn more about finding the right
thermostat for you by visiting
And we don't just say it, we did it. In fact, Avista did it by making small heating, venting and air conditioning (HVAC) improvements throughout our 14,024 square-foot service center located in Spokane Valley, Wash. Avista optimized programmable thermostats in the building, improved the air distribution system and installed stand-alone heat pumps in unoccupied spaces. Since those changes in 2009, Avista has saved 48,000 kilowatt hours, reducing its electric use by about nine percent. Those small changes also moved Avista into the top quarter of similarly compared energy efficient buildings, earning the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy Star certification.
Striving for the Energy Star a three-fold benefit
By becoming Energy Star certified, Avista serves its customers better by reducing its costs and becoming more efficient with the energy we all use and depend on.
Reducing energy use also helps protect the environment, by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Avista employees gave the changes a thumbs-up as well. The team who worked on the improvements made sure to provide the right level of comfort and convenience for those that work there.
Small changes do make a difference. Making
small heating, venting and air conditioning
(HVAC) improvements throughout Avista's
14,024 square-foot service center located in
Spokane Valley, Wash., has garnered the
official Energy Star certification. Only the top
quarter buildings in the nation are awarded the
Over time, little changes can add up. Here a few things you can do in your home to help make a difference.
• Setting your thermostat three degrees lower in cold weather can reduce your heating bill approximately 10 percent. A good cold weather setting is 68 degrees Fahrenheit while you're home and 65 degrees Fahrenheit at night or while you're away. This does not apply to an air source heat pump, which may rely on emergency heat to bring the temperature back. Using a programmable thermostat will automatically make the adjustments for you – set it, and forget it.
• Replace your furnace filter once a month. Dirty filters block airflow and make your system work harder.
• Homes breathe and move, so caulking that is several years old may have pulled away from surfaces because of wind, rain and temperature changes. Look for old caulk that needs replacing, then re-caulk around windows, doors and other places where two dissimilar materials meet up. An easy way to check for leaks around doors is to have someone run a flashlight around the exterior door jam at night while you stand inside in the dark. If you see light, fix or add weather-stripping in that location. Also, think about anything added to your home during the year that may have penetrated walls, and fill in those penetrations.
• Water heating is the second largest consumer of energy in the home. A good setting for the water heater temperature is 120 degrees Fahrenheit. If you have a dishwasher, check the manufacturer's instructions for the suggested temperature.
Customers can take advantage of many energy efficiency equipment rebates and weatherization programs offered by Avista. Learn more about energy efficiency at

Hello, It has been four weeks now since I did a lower body lift! after the surgery my outer thighs looked great and tight! now I see that the area is bulging! is that normal? & is it fluid or is my skin getting loose again? and it seems like one side is bulging more than the other! I am scheduled for a thigh lift (groin incision) in April and I wonder would a liposuction procedure fix the bulging problem? Your advice please! Thanks!
Bulging Outer Thighs Ater Lower Body Lift, Do I Need Lipo to Fix This?

The age of consent in Virginia is 18, with a close in age exception that allows teenagers aged 15 to 17 to engage in sexual acts but only with a partner younger than 18.
However, the legislation is not clear-cut, and the details are discussed below:
Any penetrative sexual act other than penile-vaginal intercourse is defined in Virginia law as 'sodomy.' Section 18.2-361 of the Code of Virginia entitled "Crimes against nature" states in part;
"If any person carnally knows in any manner any brute animal, or carnally knows any male or female person by the anus or by or with the mouth, or voluntarily submits to such carnal knowledge, he or she shall be guilty of ... felony..."
In addition, any sexual intercourse outside marriage is defined in Virginia law as 'fornication.' Section 18.2-344 of the Code of Virginia entitled "Crimes against nature" states;
"Any person, not being married, who voluntarily shall have sexual intercourse with any other person, shall be guilty of fornication, punishable as a Class 4 misdemeanor."
The courts of Virginia have ruled that these statutes are not invalid under the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Lawrence v. Texas since that case only applied to adults, and the age of majority in Virginia is 18. This means that those 18 and above involved in consensual activity in private may have a defense in court, but those under 18 do not.
Section § 18.2-63 of the Code refers to minors younger than 15, while § 18.2-371 is about 15-, 16- and 17-year-olds.
Section 18.2-63 states in part:
"If any person carnally knows, without the use of force, a child thirteen years of age or older but under fifteen years of age, such person shall be guilty of ... felony ... For the purposes of this section, (i) a child under the age of thirteen years shall not be considered a consenting child and (ii) "carnal knowledge" includes the acts of sexual intercourse, cunnilingus, fellatio, analingus, anal intercourse, and animate and inanimate object sexual penetration."
Consensual sex where one partner is 15, 16 or 17 and the other is over 18 is a class 1 misdemeanor.
§ 18.2-371. Causing or encouraging acts rendering children delinquent, abused, etc.; penalty; abandoned infant. Any person 18 years of age or older, including the parent of any child, who (i) willfully contributes to, encourages, or causes any act, omission, or condition which renders a child delinquent, in need of services, in need of supervision, or abused or neglected as defined in § 16.1-228, or (ii) engages in consensual sexual intercourse with a child 15 or older not his spouse, child, or grandchild, shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.'

The Web Team is pleased to announce two additional training sessions for new and veteran web maintainers alike.
These will be the final training sessions of the Spring semester. We expect training to resume in June, once our Ektron installation has been upgraded and the Web Team has had the opportunity to update its training and documentation.
You may register for any Web Team training by filling out the Web Training Workshop Registration form.
Please note that preregisitration is required. Because we need to set special permissions on the training server for each participant, it can be difficult or impossible to add walk-in partipants.
As there is much to cover in a short amount of time, we ask that you arrive on time. Because we cover procedures step by step, late arrivals are likely to have difficulty completing the workshop objectives. In most cases, instructors will not have time to help late arrivals catch up.

Manufacturer: Thermaltake
Thermaltake is known for their quality products
worldwide. Thermaltake took their product line to the next level
when they introduced their Extreme line. The extreme product line
has heatsink combos, chipset coolers, and VGA coolers. The extreme
product line has been designed by keeping the ultimate enthusiast
in mind.
Today we will be taking a look at the Thermaltake
Extreme Giant III VGA Cooler. This cooler is the next generation
VGA cooler from Thermaltake and is also a big brother to the Giant
II. With the addition of two fans and all aluminum body, the cooler
claims high performance. Without further ado, let's begin the
close analysis of the Thermaltake Extreme Giant III VGA Cooler.
The Giant III comes with lots of accessories. There
are 3 x bags of screws, 1 x fan switch, 1 x user's manual, 2 x
clip sets, 1 x thermal compound tube, and 1 x 3-pin motherboard
connector. The manual, as always, is easy to understand and follow.
Thermaltake has adopted new fan switches. The latest
fan switches are simply gorgeous to say the least. The fan switch
can be operated at low, medium, and high modes. There is also
an on/off button that operates the top blower fan on the cooler.
The fan switch matches very nicely with the overall VGA cooler.
To cover the extended wires, Thermaltake used wire sleeves. Due
to the number of accessories in the package and to prevent installation
complications, Thermaltake also labeled the pieces. The packaged
contents were undoubtedly professional and thanks to Thermaltake
for doing such a great job on them.

His dedication to his customers and Zoe's playful nature brought in more and more customers, until the repair and sales shop could no longer fit next to the action-figure aisle. More than 10 years later, The Laptop Guy has grown into a multi-store business that solves customers' smartphone, Apple, Android, and PC issues with online support, in-house repairs, or onsite troubleshooting. Cartoon Zoe and her owner still greet customers on the company's website, and the real-life versions can be found in one of the repair shops on any given day.

He stands at the top of the rise and looks back to see if I'm okay – torn between my need for his presence – and the voices that call him to his new world.
I wave him on, knowing that tall grasses and fragrant breezes await him, and pray my eyes do not betray my anguish at his going. And still he waits and watches – as if to give me time to accept what we both know must be.
Run my beautiful boy! Race the wind in jubilation! Follow the scents and sounds that call you and rejoice in the freedom from earthly bonds. Go with my blessings and my love – but take this silver thread which holds my heart so I may one day find my way to you.
Soft fur blowing gently in breezes filled with
life and the scent of prey – and the soft milkweed
flowers you seemed to love.
Happy always, except when left behind,
each night you greeted my return with scoldings –
but forgave me when I shared my pasta!
So often your eyes would dance with mischief
as though you knew some private joke but wouldn't tell.
And when my heart was breaking, you understood,
and comforted me with your closeness.
And later your silly antics made me laugh again.
You were my anchor through seven years of ups and downs,
the only steadfast thing in life. I loved you so!
But instincts stronger than domestic life pulled you,
took you into the path of danger.
Do you still chase that little fox in the spirit world?
Do you miss me, oh mighty hunter – gentle friend?
Sweet wolf spirit, you will live in my heart forever!
And when my time comes to cross over, I will rejoice
in the sweetness of reunion!
Sweet wolf spirit, where are you?
I search the wind for the scent of your fur,
and the sound of your singing,
but no answer comes.
My soul cries out to yours...
my tears giving testimony to the bond so
heartlessly broken
You have touched the center of my being
and righted the wrongs in my life with
your generous heart and unconditional love
Your absence leaves me bereft, without direction
I wake at night, my ankles unencumbered
by your fuzzy head,
and reach for your spot on the bed but
find no goodnight puppy kiss...
Your lonely mate, like me, searches her world
hoping to find you, not understanding...
Her eyes, like mine, lose focus as they see
only memories and the emptiness of your loss
Your leaving came too quickly -- without warning
We had no chance to say ''goodbye"
And perhaps that is the greatest pain.
You are missed, sweet Shadow.

Witnessing a crime
Seeing a person commit a crime—particularly a violent crime—can be very distressing. If you do, you should not be afraid to report the incident or give evidence in court. Support and advice is available to help you throughout the legal process, and to help you recover form the emotional and psychological impact of witnessing the crime.
Victims of violent crime
As a victim of violent crime you are also an important witness. You should report the incident to the police as soon as possible; reporting the incident quickly can prevent valuable evidence from being lost or destroyed.
Find out about support for victims of violent crime.
Reporting the crime to the police
If you witness a crime taking place you should report it to the police as soon as possible. You do not have to report the incident, but by doing so you may help the police catch the offender and prevent another person becoming a victim.
Don't be afraid to go to the police; they will help you and the victim through what can be a very distressing event.
If a crime is happening or has just happened, you should call Triple Zero (000) immediately.
If think that the police are not needed urgently or you are unable to talk to the police straight away, phone Policelink—the police contact centre—on 131 444 once you are able to. Policelink is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can also go to your local police station or Police Beat to report what you have seen.
If you do not want to report the incident directly, you can still report the crime anonymously through Crime Stoppers. Phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report it online.
Giving a witness statement
If you see a crime, the police may ask you to give a witness statement. This is a written or recorded account of what you saw. If the police catch the offender, your witness statement may be used as evidence in court, although you may also be asked to appear in court to give your evidence personally.
Vulnerable witnesses—including victims of violent crime, children and people with disability—may provide a statement on video; however, in most cases a police officer will write down what you tell them about the incident.
You will be asked to read through the finished statement and sign to confirm that what it contains is an accurate account of what you saw. If the police prosecute the offender, your witness statement may be used as evidence in court, or you may need to give your evidence personally.
Providing evidence in court
If you are a witness to a crime, the police may ask you to give evidence against the offender in court. This could be months (or even years) after you have given your witness statement, as the police may need to investigate the incident and prepare a legal case.
If you refuse to attend court as a witness, you may be legally ordered to attend—this is called a summons if you are needed as a witness in Magistrates Court or a subpoena if you are called as a witness in the District or Supreme Court. If you are summonsed or subpoenaed and do not attend court, you may be found guilty of contempt of court and a warrant may be issued for your arrest. If a summons or subpoena is not issued you do not have to appear in court as a witness; however, by doing so you may help convict the offender and prevent another person becoming a victim.
As a witness in court you may be asked questions about what you saw by both the defense and prosecution lawyers. This is to confirm your version of events and to ensure the facts presented about the crime are correct; this will help the court come to a fair decision.
Vulnerable witnesses— this may include the victim, children and people with an intellectual disability—may have a support person with them in court, or may provide evidence via a video link so they do not need to face the accused person in court.
See going to court for more information.
Support for witnesses going to court
The court process can be daunting for a witness, particularly if you have witnessed a violent crime. You can get support and advice from Victim Assist Queensland's by calling 1300 546 587. They can provide information and advice about the legal process and help you prepare for your appearance in court.
See going to court for more information.
Expenses for witnesses appearing in court
If you are subpoenaed to appear as a witness in court, you can receive travel expenses to get to and from court—called conduct money. You are also entitled to be paid for any loss of earnings you suffer as a result of appearing as a witness; however, the actual amount you receive will be decided by the court.
See going to court for more information.
Protecting you from threats and intimidation
It is against the law to threaten or intimidate a witness in any way. The police will do all they can to protect you.
If you are contacted by anybody other than the police or a prosecution lawyer about what you saw, contact the police immediately.
Free counselling for witnesses of crime
Free counselling is available from Relationships Australia to help you recover from the emotional and psychological impact of witnessing a crime. Phone 1300 139 703 or 1300 364 277 to find out about the services they can provide, or to make an appointment to see a councilor.
Find out more about the support Relationships Australia provide to witnesses of crime.
Financial support and advice for witnesses of violent crime
Victim Assist Queensland helps people recover from the physical and emotional effects of violent crime. Seeing an act of violence can be very distressing.

Theo Walcott has called on his side to "do the dirty work" next season if they want to be involved in the title race.
Arsenal finished their campaign on Sunday with a 4-1 win over Stoke. It meant they ended up with 72 points, 18 adrift of champions Manchester United.
Ironically, Wenger's side picked up four points in their two games against Sir Alex Ferguson's team and, in total, lost only one encounter with the 'big four'. However they did drop defeats to Hull, Fulham and their opponents at the weekend. For Walcott, the area of improvement is obvious.
"We have to learn from our experiences this year, do the dirty work and get the results," said the England winger.
"Like the boss said, Man United only won one game out of their matches against the top four, so it just shows how important every game is in the Premier League.
"The so-called littler clubs, away and at home, they are the points you have to make up.
"We have to do the dirty work, like we have learned from this year, and take that into next season."
Generally, though, Arsenal's Premier League campaign ended well. Five of their six defeats in the competition came before Christmas and from November to May they strung together a 21-game unbeaten run.
"We have ended the season on a high," said Walcott.
"We have got to take that into next season now, bounce back and put in a good performance.
"We are scoring goals from all sorts of positions, the team is playing very well and are keeping the ball without conceding many goals.
"Now the boss will be telling the players to reflect on the season, then go and have a good holiday, relax, before looking forward to next season."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.
