What is CHP?
CHP is the sequential generation of electric and thermal energy from a common energy source. CHP systems recover heat that normally would be wasted in an electricity generator, and save the fuel that would otherwise be used to produce heat or steam in a separate unit.
Why is there so much interest in CHP?
There are two different driving forces behind CHP. First, recent problems in electrical supply and distribution have heightened concerns about availability and cost of electricity. These have led in turn to interest in distributed generation and subsequently use of waste heat from power generation. The Department of Energy is interested in CHP because of "resource efficiency." If coal or natural gas is burned at a power plant to produce electricity, less than a third of the energy content of the fuel is delivered to customers as useful power. The "resource efficiency" is less than 33%. If a CHP plant captures 68% of the energy in the exhaust gas and for space heating or hot water, the resource efficiency becomes 78% (0.33 + 0.68*0.67). Much more of the fuel energy content is used, fossil fuels consumption and CO2 emissions are reduced.
Is CHP the same as cogeneration?
CHP and cogeneration are basically the same thing, although cogeneration has been identified with district heating and large utility owned power plants or industrial power production and plant operation. CHP is generally a smaller scale, privately owned operation. It frequently refers to generation of heat and power for university campuses, military bases, hospitals, and hotels. New technologies for small scale power production are opening opportunities for CHP in medium and small sized buildings.
What is the difference between CHP, CCHP, BCHP, DER, IES?
Many new terms and acronyms are entering common usage that mean basically the same thing, generation of electricity near the customer's facility so that waste heat can be recovered and used. The terms differ in where the emphasis is placed. Combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) stresses that combined cooling, heating, and power production occur, whereas combined heating and power in CHP may or may not use the recovered heat for cooling purposes. Building combined heat and power (BCHP) is just CHP applied to a building as opposed to a district heating system or industrial process. DER is distributed energy resources, the use of small generating facilities distributed close to the consumers either with or without heat recovery. IES is an integrated energy system that recovers waste heat from on-site or near-site power generation to provide hot water, steam, heating, cooling, or dehumidifying air for buildings.
Why can't I use my backup generator for on-site power production?
The primary problem with using backup generators for on site power generation concerns their emissions, nitrogen oxide (NOx) and sulfur oxide (SOx), although noise and durability can also be problems. Most urban areas limit the maximum number of hours that internal combustion (IC) engine driven backup generators can be operated each year because of their NOx and SOx emission levels. Generators for CHP systems can operate upwards of 8000 hours per year which greatly exceed backup generator usage, typically limited to less than 200 hours per year. Some models may be able to handle such high usage, others may not.
Backup generators have been around for decades, what is new about on-site power generation?
Recent developments have pushed to make on site power generation cleaner, cheaper, and quieter. Backup generators typically use internal combustion engines with a multitude of moving parts and relatively high emissions of pollutants NOx and SOx. Microturbines have been developed which have very low emissions of pollutants and extremely few moving parts making them attractive from an environmental and maintenance point of view. Gas turbines are also being marketed in smaller capacities so that they have appeal beyond large utilities and factories. Fuel cells continue to be developed with a promise of higher efficiencies and lower emissions than any other source of electricity and heat. Finally, strides are being made to reduce emissions from IC engine driven generators to reduce their environmental impact.
What types of power generators can I buy?
The most common type of on site power generation is using an IC engine-driven generator. They are available in a broad range of capacities and can have very high efficiencies. A couple of manufacturers are producing microturbine generators and there are products under development by additional companies and in additional sizes from the current manufacturers. Gas turbine generators are sold for applications requiring greater capacities and one brand of fuel cell is available. Many different companies are in the process of developing fuel cells for on site power generation and more products will become available.
How are generators classified, what is a kW?
Generators are classified by the "combustion" system and their rated electrical output. Combustion refers to whether an IC engine, microturbine, gas turbine, or fuel cell is used to convert the fuel to mechanical energy. It is in quotes because while most of these technologies use a combustion process, fuel cells use a chemical process without combustion. The electrical output or capacity is the number of kilowatts (kW) or megawatts (MW) of power generated. A kilowatt or megawatt is a measure of the rate of energy use or production. How much energy is consumed or produced is measured in kilowatt- or megawatt-hours. One kilowatt is equal to 1000 watts. A 100 watt light bulb has an electrical load of 0.100 kilowatts; if the bulb is left on for 10 hours it consumes 1000 watt-hours or 1.0 kilowatt-hours (kWh).
What is a recuperator and why is it important?
A recuperator is an internal heat exchanger that is used to recover energy from the turbine exhaust and use it to pre-heat inlet air. Using some of the exhaust energy to heat the air before mixing it with the fuel for combustion allows the same combustion temperatures and generating capacity to be reached using less fuel. Recuperators can double the efficiency of microturbine generators.
What is an HRSG?
A heat recovery steam generator, or HRSG, is used to recover energy from the hot exhaust gases in power generation. It is a bank of tubes that is mounted in the exhaust stack. Exhaust gases at as much as 1000°F heat the tubes. Water pumped through the tubes can be held under high pressure to temperatures of 370°F or higher or it can be boiled to produce steam. The HRSG separates the caustic compounds in the flue gases from the occupants and equipment that use the waste heat.
What is a desiccant dehumidifier?
Dehumidifiers, naturally, remove humidity from the air. Normally this is done by cooling finned tubes in a heat exchanger below the dew point temperature so water condenses and drips into a condensate pan or drain. This process is energy intensive because it requires cooling the tubes and air below temperatures that are comfortable for air conditioning. Desiccants are chemical compounds that have an affinity for water vapor, in a sense they absorb it like a sponge. A desiccant dehumidifier employs desiccants deposited on honeycombed surfaces to provide lots of area for water vapor to be absorbed. Blowing air through these surfaces remove moisture from it before it enters the building and reduces humidity levels. Liquid desiccants are also available in spray systems.
How do desiccant dehumidifiers use waste heat in a CHP system?
Desiccant materials can be heated to remove water vapor from them. This is done in a practical application by building the desiccant into a wheel that rotates through the building supply and exhaust air. For example, supply air being brought into a building is passed through the left side of the wheel where it absorbs water vapor. Exhaust air is heated and blown through the right side of the wheel and then vented outdoors removing water vapor from the desiccant. The wheel is rotated slowly so the desiccant passes through both supply and exhaust air flows. Steam or hot water from a HRSG can be used to provide the heat needed to heat the exhaust air and regenerate the desiccant.
What is a chiller?
Most small buildings like homes use a forced air distribution system to provide hot or cold air for comfort conditioning. Large buildings frequently use a hydronic distribution system and pump chilled water to air handling units to provide cool air for air conditioning. A chiller is the machine that cools water to around 44°F for distribution to the air handling units.
What is an absorption chiller?
Absorption chillers use heat and a chemical solution to produce chilled water. A gas burner is usually used to produce the heat with a mixture of lithium bromide and water as the chemical solution. Recovered waste heat in the form of hot water or steam can be used to power an indirect-fired absorption chiller (they use electricity for solution pumps, but only a small fraction of the electricity that electric motor driven chillers require).
What are single- and double-effect absorption chillers?
Without getting technical, the number of "effects" in a chiller reflects the number of times energy is used. A single-effect machine uses heat just once to produce chilled water. A double-effect machine contains heat exchangers to recover heat left over from the first stage of cooling to produce additional refrigerant vapor and more cooling. Double-effect is more efficient than single-effect. Triple-effect chillers are under development.
What is a cooling tower?
Every type of air conditioning or refrigeration process is a means of moving heat from where it is not wanted to medium where it can be rejected. The radiator of a car is a dry, finned-tube heat exchanger that is used to reject engine heat to the outdoor air efficiently. A cooling tower is essentially a wet heat exchanger used to reject heat from a chiller or excess heat from a HRSG. The water spray over tube banks in a cooling tower is more efficient at rejecting heat than a dry heat exchanger. It allows lower operating pressures in the chiller and greater efficiencies.
What is power conditioning?
Utilities in the U.S. distribute electricity at standard conditions with specifications for voltage, frequency, and type. Consequently most of our electrical appliances are designed for 60 Hertz (Hz), alternating current. Power conditioning is the process of taking whatever electricity is produced by a generator and converting it to meet the industry standards so it can be used without damaging whatever is plugged in, be it a hair dryer, television, or computer. Power conditioning is an essential part of on site power generation.
What is NOx and why is it called a pollutant?
NOx is an abbreviation or acronym used to refer to nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Both of these chemical compounds contribute to urban smog and can contribute to acid rain so their emissions are carefully controlled by government agencies. They can be formed during high temperature combustion from nitrogen in the air. Careful control of the combustion process or treatment of exhaust gases is needed to keep emissions low.
What is SOx and why is it a pollutant?
Sulfur oxide (SOx) encompasses a group of chemical compounds of sulfur and oxygen, but it predominantly it refers to sulfur dioxide, SO2. Sulfur dioxide is formed during combustion from sulfur compounds in the fuel and oxygen in the air. Liquid and solid fuels like gasoline and coal contain sulfur compounds and cause SOx in the flue emissions; SOx is not an issue with gaseous fuels like natural gas and propane. Sulfur dioxide dissolves in water forming sulfuric acid, the principal constituent of acid rain. SOx emissions are strictly regulated.
What is SCR?
SCR stands for selective catalytic reduction and is a process for removing NOx from exhaust gases in order to meet pollution control requirements.

Life without Kyra Sedgwick isn't quite the same but the end of Atlanta-based TNT's "The Closer" didn't mean the end of her team. Most of the "Closer" cast segued over to spin-off "Major Crimes," which has just been renewed for a second season.
"Major Crimes," which airs Mondays at 9 p.m., is receiving 15 more episodes next year. The first season finale is slated for mid October and it will return next summer.
While the show doesn't pull in "Closer" numbers, TNT didn't really expect it to. But it has retained at least two thirds of the audience, averaging 7 million viewers (including DVR usage) every week. That's certainly good enough for renewal. And against fresh broadcast competition this past Monday, it held up well.
"With "Major Crimes," James Duff and his amazing production team have crafted an incredibly entertaining show that not only honors the spirit of The Closer, but also stands alone with its own voice and spirit," said Michael Wright, president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies (TCM) in a press release.
TNT had a solid summer, with three new drama hits: "Major Crimes," "Perception" and "Dallas" and just one clear-cut bust: the reality show "The Great Escape," which certainly won't be coming back. "Rizzoli & Isles" and "Falling Skies" were also given renewals for 2013.
This leaves two summer shows in possible limbo: "Leverage" and 'Franklin & Bash." Neither has been given a green light for new seasons just yet. Both had good ratings numbers but their survival may depend on what else TNT has on its plate in terms of new original programming and how these two shows fit in.
TNT's other original show 'Southland" airs in the spring of 2013.

No, it's not "The Closer", then again, how could it be without Brenda Leigh? I like "Major Crimes" fine, I like the new, harsher tone (Provenza, and I like getting to know Capt. Raydor (sp?) better.
I'm glad they let Fritz stay and hope to see more of his character. Perhaps Mrs. Fritz will pop up next season!

I agree with Mercedes. It's great that the majority of the cast was preserved, and I enjoy seeing H. G. Bailey more. Major Crimes is a very good show. (Now if TNT had only picked up The Firm…)

11:02 pm
@Old Teach – I am with you on The Firm. I read there will be second season in Canada where it is filmed and produced.You can sometimes get shows from there on Youtube. I like Major Crimes because it broadens the other characters storylines.

7:45 am
I thought oh no Major Crimes will not be any good but I dare say it is evety bit as good as the closet if not better. I love the interaction between the captain and rusty it brings a totally new element to the show.
September 28th, 2012
7:56 am
I was a long time "Closer" fan and am happy to say I'm enjoying "Major Crimes" just as much. Glad it has been renewed. I love seeing these characters continue on and learning more about their back stories.
September 28th, 2012
7:58 am
I'm enjoying this show and yes it is't the Closer, loved that show. I do miss the old Provenza. The things he and Fritz got into were too funny and now Provenza seems to be serious all the time. i hope they let him go back to the old Provenza once and a while. They haven't even done any jokes about his age so far. I think he is one of the best actors I've seen because of his range. Can't believe this is the first thing I've ever seen him in. Great show. Thanks

Capt Raydor is the most unlikeable creepy character on TV. Really takes awayu from the show and makes it unwatchable.
September 28th, 2012
8:53 am
Jbark – have you even seen "Major Crimes"? The Raydor you describe is the Raydor of "The Closer".She's a totally different person in the new show.
September 28th, 2012
11:39 am
OMG, PLEASE don't get rid of Franklin and Bash! It's one of the only shows I DVR. First Men of a Certain Age and now this. I guess TNT and I are on different pages. I don't watch any of the other shows except Dallas and Law and Order reruns.
September 28th, 2012
5:46 pm
[...] Yesterday, in a blog entry about Atlanta-based TNT renewing "Major Crimes," I openly speculated about the future of two scripted dramas that had not been given a renewal yet: "Leverage" and "Franklin & Bash." [...]
September 29th, 2012
6:48 pm
I am somehow not surprised Major Crimes was renewed. America loves it crime shows. Just look at CSI and Law and Order. I have been able to keep up with Major Crimes through my Apple TV and I enjoy it. I like that Julio and Tao are getting more involved in stories. Tao has a story this week! Now its either Leverage or Franklin and Bash? That will be an interesting call.
September 30th, 2012
11:39 am
I LOVE Major Crimes…..I really don't miss Brenda that much, it was time for her to leave. I think Major Crimes is just as good as the Closer and I hope it succeeds and is as big a hit as The Closer was. I hope we will get to know more about Flynn, Provenza, Tau and Sanchez as well as getting to know Capt. Raydor. I do miss Gabriel and Chief pope a little bit, but maybe we'll see them now and then.
October 1st, 2012
8:17 pm
Am absolutely hooked on Major Crimes. I think everyone misses Brenda (and her sweet tooth) but Major Crimes goes a very long way in soothing the loss.
October 1st, 2012
11:48 pm
I couldn't stand Momaaaa nor Dadddddddy, nor could I stand Momaaa saying "Brenda Leeeeeeee" I just muted the program when Momaaaa and Dadddddy were on the show. Now I can't stand Dusty or Rusty being on the show. The captain does not appear to be a real life mother nor why Rusty is a part of the show. Why can't the team solve the murder and just do that, like Law and Order. As long as Rusty stays on the program you won't see me watching.
October 3rd, 2012
5:10 am
I really like Major Crimes, I think Sharon Raydor has a great deal of depth that was hinted at during the Closer but is being explored more fully in the new show. Brenda Leigh's biggest fault was her complete lack of introspection and her inability to see anyone's side of a situation besides her own. Sharon's is being so tightly wound that she comes across as cold and harsh but the great thing about both shows is and was the incredible ability of such great actresses to bring those characters to life and make them multi-dimensional. I love that we see more of Julio and Provenza as part of the team and this werk's focus on Tao was a nice addition. Just hope Flynn hasore to do soon as he is my favorite. The entire cast has such depth it's like they are real people. I look forward to seeing it every week and I especially like the interaction between Sharon and Rusty. It satisfies the emotional gap that was previously filled by Brenda and Fritz's relationship. Great show! So happy it will be back!

Garry Moore, cover of TV Guide, April 16, 1955
"He's not as well known today as he should be, but in the late 1950s Garry Moore was a television icon… [He] was a wonderful mentor, and I won my first Emmy as a result of doing his show. I can never say enough about his kindness, his smarts and his generosity."

For the third straight year, the ball will combine enlisted with officers, offering an excellent and fulfilling opportunity to socialize outside of work with peers. Bringing enlisted and officers together could attract more than 2,000 people to attend, which would make it the largest birthday ball within the submarine force. Uniform for the evening is service dress blues or better. Covers are not required. In addition, commands are encouraged to participate in the traditional centerpiece contest.
Military personnel should contact their command's birthday ball representative to purchase tickets. Others interested should contact Master Chief Electronics Technician Jon Smedley at 860-694-3980.

Yeah, yeah, so the holiday season is over, but that's no reason to let the your inner sparkle fade! I for one, love this hand picked beauty of a top, The Twinkle Top (coming soon to *Vintage Boutique!), and there's no reason you shouldn't love it either. Despite the fluttery look of this piece, you will find that it's quite warm as it is made of wool and no doubt tons of shiny little sequins. For my first look, I put together a special ensemble for a fun night out with the gals, or perhaps a date night with your one and only. The silvery metallic skirt enhances the blue sheen of the Twinkle Top, and my two favorite complimentary elements are my punctuation pantyhose and my 1940′s perching hat (for those of you wondering how that little saucer balances on my head, it has a little hair comb attached!) For a fun alternative to the skirt I'm wearing, try the Madie Sequin Skirt by Motel or the Hewes Skirt by Lucca Couture with the Naughty and Nice Tights by Betsey Johnson or the Cha Cha Cheetah Paper Print Tights in Camel also by Betsey Johnson.
For my rough and tough hipster look, I go all out with the studs, cuffs, and layering of the belts. There's no reason to shy away from shorts in the winter, just be sure to layer up with some sweater tights and a hefty coat to go with your outfit. Add a pair of platforms, and you're ready to rock! Try the Efficiency Belt in Black by remi & reid to add an edge to this sweet top. The Cherry Short by Your Eyes Lie is the perfect match to the Twinkle Top. There are countless amazing shoes on the site to pair up with this outfit! Here are a few: the See Stars Shoe, and the Lita Shoe both by Jeffrey Campbell, or a great pair of Dr. Martens such as the Page 8-Eye Boot in Black Velvet.
This last outfit is a more formal one that you may put together for an interview or job fair. Go for a classic cut pant in leather or velvet. Try the Stretch Velvet Micro-Flare Trouser in Black by Blank Denim or the Rafaella Pant from *Vintage Boutique.

Table 13 : Number of endangered, endemic species for seven species groups
The table is based on a study carried out by the World Conservation Monitoring Centre of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP-WCMC) for FRA 2000 (FAO 2001). The study examined the presence and threatened status (whether the species were considered globally endangered) for seven species groups: amphibians, birds, ferns, mammals, palms, reptiles and trees. The threatened status was derived from the World Conservation Union (IUCN) lists of threatened species.
The total number of species (sum of the seven groups) present in each country is given in the first column, and the number thereof that are considered endangered in the second.
Of the total number of threatened species, the number of country-endemic species are then reported in the third column.
Finally, the last seven columns list how many of the endangered and country-endemic species occur in forests, for each species group.

Series 6 Part Two Trailer!
Thrills aplenty with these all-new Doctor Who trailers, with BBC One new season micro-clips and official all new material from episodes 8-13 and quite a nice chunk from The God Complex!
First off, you should have already seen this micro-trailer (hosted by Doctor Who TV) for the second half of Doctor Who Series 6 with scary dolls, some familiar faces and a possible kiss between the Doctor and returning lodger James Corden.
The clinch sees Matt Smith and James Corden mid-grasp as the Doctor tries to sonic something off screen resulting in this exchange between the two:
"Doctor, are you going to kiss me?'
'Yes, I guess I am'."
This clip also give us our first look at DCI Keats himself Daniel Mays (Ashes to Ashes) playing Alex in the Mark Gatiss-penned Night Terrors, as well as the scary dolls from the same episode.
Thanks to the BBC site, however, there are more clips on offer, such as this beauty from Toby Whithouse's The God Complex, featuring Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darville as the Doctor, Amy and Rory:
But the one you really want – the Series 6 Part 2 Trailer – is right here…
One Response to Series 6 Part Two Trailer!
The trailer just blew me away. Looks like the second half of the season will be even more of a rollercoaster than the first, which is a good thing of course.
"Haven't you figured that one out yet?" I'm still holding on to my personal theory that it's actually the Doctor in the astronaut suit and he pulls a bit of a paradox in order to survive. But we'll see. Can't wait!

The investigation is continuing by Trooper Brad Haley.

This table and bench set can be raised or lowered into the ground using a crank which activates the hydraulic lifts, thus creating more play space for the kids or some much needed resting space for the parents. The design is completely integrated into the ground, so it must have cost a pretty penny.

Preference Variation and Private Donations
AbstractThis paper tries to bridge part of the gap between the theoretical model of mixed altruism and the empirical research on charitable behaviour. We use questionnaire data on charitable donations from a representative sample of the Flemish population. We link interindividual differences in behaviour to the answers on direct motivational questions. The results are in line with the theoretical predictions. Respondents who are more sensitive to warm glow considerations donate more. A stronger preference for the public good does not lead to a higher level of private giving. This can be seen as weak evidence for the crowding out-effect. Tax prices have no significant effect. This has mainly to do with lack of information and limited tax awareness.

It seems that there is a new diet every week now.
But some health experts say the country has developed an unhealthy fixation with the fad diets.
Devin Dwyer explains why the solution to weight woes may be less gimmicky than we think.
Just drink juice... no, eat like a caveman... no, watch your glycemic index! Americans who are overweight seem to switch from one miracle diet to another.
But which is the one that will change the scale?
Now, health experts are telling Americans to ditch the idea that one fad diet is better than another... and instead, pick one and stick with it
if they're looking for a lasting result.
Researchers in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association say the differences between fad diets in terms of weight loss are negligible.
You'll lose with any.
The bigger problem, they claim, is that none of them offers long-term solutions, since people don't follow them long term.
So for loss that lasts, you'll have to find a healthy, reasonable diet - and not a gimmick.
With this medical minute, I'm Devin Dwyer.

Femoral Aneurysm
A femoral aneurysm is bulging and weakness in the wall of the femoral artery, located in the thigh.
- condition
A femoral aneurysm is bulging and weakness in the wall of the femoral artery, located in the thigh. A femoral aneurysm can burst, which may cause life-threatening uncontrolled bleeding. The aneurysm may also cause a blood clot, potentially causing amputation of the affected leg.
The exact cause of femoral aneurysms is not known, though atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries caused by a buildup of fatty substances, plaque and other elements) is believed to play a key role. Trauma to the artery may also cause a femoral aneurysm.
- High cholesterol
- High blood pressure
- Smoking
- Bacterial infection
- Blood-vessel reconstruction occurring in one or both of the legs
Many femoral aneurysms have no symptoms. The most common symptom is pain below the knee.
- diagnosis
- Ultrasound Imaging: Sound waves are used to measure blood flow in the aortic artery and determine whether there is an aneurysm.
- Computed Tomography (CT) scan: X-ray views of the aortic artery are taken to determine if there are any aneurysms.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): Radio waves and magnetic fields are used to show areas where an aneurysm may be present.
- Angiography: A dye is inserted into the arteries through a catheter, then an X-ray is taken to show how blood flows through the arteries and whether any aneurysms are present. UVA's angiography/interventional radiology suites are equipped with technology that allows for 3-D images of aneurysms to help determine the best plan of treatment.
- treatment
Surgery is generally required. A surgeon will typically replace the artery with a graft or create a bypass around the area of the artery where the aneurysm is located. Carefully controlling high blood pressure — with medication, if necessary — is also an important part of treatment.

Paradox Lake Vacation Rentals with Outdoor Grill(12)
12 Results
Recent Paradox Lake Reviews
A very clean, well-stocked, family friendly cabin!
This cabin was the perfect family getaway! It was very clean and well-stocked with linens, towels and kitchen supplies (dishes, silverware, can opener, coffee maker), even for our large group. The small shed by the lake made fishing and kayaking very convenient and hassle free, as we kept our supplies in it and didn't have to lug it back and forth from the cabin. The owners' thoughtfulness continued by the lake, where they had several chairs and life preservers. The entire Paradox Lake area was very quiet, family-friendly, and about 20 minutes from a local supermarket. So, you can get away from it all, but not too far away if you needed something from the store. Thank you so much for providing our family with a great place to stay to make great memories!
Loved our summer vacation at Camp Pair-o-Docks!
We had an amazing week at the Camp! The house is beautiful and comfortably slept our whole family (6 adults + 3 kids). The house itself feels new, with beautiful wooden floors / beams, and is well furnished. The views from the house are terrific - the master bedroom has water on two sides and gets great light, and similarly the main living area and downstairs bedrooms have views of the lake as well. The house sits on Lake Paradox, ~4.5 mile long lake - there are other houses on the lake but in general it is pretty quiet. The lake is fairly shallow so is quite warm, perfect for swimming and other activities. We rented a boat and did a ton of water skiing and fishing, as well as kayaking and lounging on the swim rafts. The house sits on 320 acres with some good walking trails behind the house (kids loved swimming in the "waterfall" up the hill). Hiking Severance Hill leads to nice views, and you are not far from the High Peaks. The caretaker, Bob, was nice and very responsive as well. No complaints from us, we would definitely go back!
Wonderful and Relaxing Place
My husband and I had a wonderful stay in the lake house. The fire pit made for a great night activity, taking the canoe out on the lake was so much fun and the house was clean, well prepared and nothing beats the view from the swinging chair on the porch! Paul was wonderful, responsive and easy to work with. Even though it rained for two days of our weekend, having the covered porch made it easy to sit and eat outside and use the grill anyway. We would definitely come here again!

Pankhurst London
10 Newburgh Street, W1F 7RN
Sinatra in the background, McQueen on the walls, and the great and the good passing on the stairs, Brent Pankhurst's barbershop is part speakeasy, part club. Leather barber's chairs, drinks cabinets and classic films onscreen, it reflects Brent's own style: suits, style and a place you can talk freely as you lie back for a shave and trim.
Brent started working for Vidal Sassoon in the late 1980s as a 17-year-old, progressing quickly through the ranks and onto the art team. He's styled for the Face, GQ, Vogue and Esquire, while also working in the music industry, creating iconic looks for album covers, videos and magazine shoots. His haircuts have featured in contemporary British films such as Snatch and Layer Cake as he's styled hair for the likes of Daniel Craig, Clive Owen, the England rugby team, footballers, Blur and Robbie Williams.
But it's in his barbershop that he's at home. There CEOs of advertising firms and banks mingle easily with actors and musicians as they wait for a seat in his chair. They know that, not only will they leave looking sharp, but that they can chat candidly while they're there.
Now set up just off Carnaby Street, the films that have influenced Brent's style – Our Man Flint, The Maltese Falcon, the original Alfie and Thomas Crown Affair – infuse an environment as masculine as the bay rum and lime scent of his products. If the Pankhurst barbershop wasn't somewhere to go to get your hair cut, it's somewhere you'd want to drop in for an espresso or a whisky. Which is just as Brent likes it.

If africa was not colonised,would we(africans) have this technology?
I ussually wonder if missionaries or colonialist never came to africa up to today,would i be herding in the bushes with no clothes?Would i have ever known what a mobile phone or internet is??Would i want to study so as to get a job???
May 1 2013: In your imagined what if did slavers come? If you are asking what would have happened if the entire continent was avoided for some reason, then I think yes you would have the same things , I think that the continent of Africa has a great number of powerful nations historically and that trade and innovation as well a scientific thought and human progress in general occur where humans exist, not humans exposed to missionaries, not humans colonized by Europeans, humans.I was reading last night about the 100 most important scientific discoveries of all time and the first was counting, its existence as supported by an artifact came from Africa, as did the earliest "calculator" Stop asking yourself questions that demean yourself,
Apr 27 2013: Innovation doesn't happen in societies burdened with traditions. Thinking outside the box in small conservative communities is not recommended.
We owe what we have to places and times in Western history where new ideas were allowed to emerge. It's not about the size of the civilization, as the Christian dark ages has shown us.

© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - Even while celebrating the conversion of a former Wal-Mart to a county government office, officials know the latest building is simply a short-term solution to the county's space needs.Deputy County Administrator Mike Comer said the addition of the new central services facility and a Recorder's and Juvenile Court building that opened earlier this year gives officials about five years before the government operations are again busting at the seams. "We probably need to make a decision in 2007. That means work needs to happen now," he said. A couple of years ago, a study on space concluded the need for a new $300 million courthouse, but officials balked at the price and decided against asking voters for the money in a Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax referendum. Comer said officials are now mulling over ideas and would likely consider building a center on the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center campus, which also includes a three-story building known as One Justice Square. But the funding is still a huge, looming question, especially since the county is also expecting to build a second tower for the jail, Comer said. Support Services Director Connie Hinson said, the opening of the central services facility allows other departments to be shuffled at the justice center. The Department of Transportation recently expanded into offices that were used by planning and development before One Justice Square opened. The communications department is getting a new suite, and the area that housed the elections department will go to human resources. Then, the human resources space will go to a team working on a computer project, and the clerk of court will get that space. County records will move out of the basement, and the information technology department will move in. On the courts side of the justice center, construction is under way to convert the former Recorder's and Juvenile court space to more courtrooms. "We've got a domino effect here," Hinson said. "It's going to help everybody out. It's going to be great."

Recently NoTubes Women's Elite team rider Kathy Sherwin completed the Andalucia Mountain Bike Stage Race in Spain. Kathy competed with friend and long-time endurance racer Jenny Smith.
The duo took second in the final general classification but the journey was anything but smooth.
In this three part article, Kathy shares her tales of adventure and misfortune along the 6 stages of Andalucia.
MTB Stage Race
written by: Kathy Sherwin
Never say never. I should
know that but I had always thought that Mountain Bike Stage racing just sounded
like something I would never want to do. Putting that many hours
on a bike some of which can be grueling just had never appealed to me, that is
until Jenny Smith, successful Xterra and MTB Stage Racer, called with an
opportunity of a lifetime.
A paid "vacation?" Geez,
who can say no to that really. Hotels? Eating off china plates as though
you were actually normal and civilized? Free Massages after the race?
Accommodations paid for? Transportation and Transfers included? Well
"DUH", of course I want to go!!! I think?!?!
Jenny and I made sure we were on
the same page before signing up as a team. The goal? Get some
ripping base training and mileage in. Never mind the fact that I have yet to put
in over 4.5 hours on the bike (that may even be a stretch) let alone doing that
6 days in a row!
SLC to ATL to Paris to Malaga,
Let the mishaps begin: No
Ah heck, who needs luggage
anyway? Well at least the Air France pilot warned us to "Not smoke IN
the toilet". Does that mean I can smoke outside of the toilet??? Just
I probably should have been a
little more alarmed than I was without luggage, being alone in Spain and hoping
that my ride from the race organizers was going to be there. I don't speak
Spanish and my husband Chris (aka Pepe) who does, was flying in the next day.
Oh boy.
My luck turned around as a gal I
started talking to in Paris, was native to Malaga, spoke English and Spanish
and knew exactly what to do about lost luggage. She waited patiently with me at
the luggage carousel to make sure my bags were indeed not there and then walked
me over to the "window" to file a lost luggage claim. This was taking
time and I was sweating a little that my ride (that I hadn't seen yet) would
leave me since I was officially late for the pickup. Ok, getting nervous.
And I can't go outside and get the driver because I can't go back in!!!
So I made a few calls (that's gonna hurt!!!) and found out that the van driver
was there and would wait. Relief.
Next mishap: Towed
Secretly I didn't mind not
having to lug my luggage around the airport to the van. Only thing was
that our van wasn't there. The driver, Pablo was, but no van.
Apparently he parked a bit too long waiting for me and the van was towed.
In the meantime myself, Jenny
who had appeared on scene from another flight, Thomas from Specialized, Henrick
and his race partner Mads (eventual Masters Overall winners) hung out at the
airport Starbucks. Yep, Starbucks is near the Mediterranean too.
Mishap #3: Got
Once Pablo figured out the van situation
and paid the fine we packed and were off…..well until he scraped the side
mirror on the concrete parking structure. Poor Pablo!! And once he
got going again Henrick took his fist and hit the side of the van to make Pablo
think he hit something else!! Pretty funny but I think at that point
Pablo was ready to abandon ship!
I could see clearly that this
was going to be quite the experience!
Malaga to Cordoba
Spain was super green as we made
our way through the hills, expansive olive groves/plantations and even some
bull fighting arenas. To make the area even more beautiful there was a
dam nestled in between the mountains. Incredible area.
Getting settled
A couple hour drive to the
beautiful hotel in Cordoba and a frantic trip to the quick mart (think 7-11)
that had a BAKERY in the back of it and Jenny and I were feeling like we could
start getting settled. Well that was after rearranging the room,
identifying that thing in the bathroom as a bidet and laughing about the
hairdryer that looked like a hose vacuum.
The next day my bike showed up
and I got it built just in time to join Jenny for a ride. The ride felt
great after 2 days of no riding and the warmth felt exceptional. Even got a
sneak peek of some of the singletrack in the area. Hard packed smooth
dirt-loving it!
Getting ready
The next morning we got up
around 6:30am for what turned out to be an excellent buffet breakfast by the
hotel. Pretty much everything you could ask for to include the thickest
black coffee ever along with salty meats and cheeses galore. Olive oil was
abundant as we were in the olive oil production capital of the world. And, In
case you are wondering what the current MTB World Champion, Jose Hermida, chose
as his pre race food it was a fresh baked baguette with olive oil drizzled all
over it.
Now it was time for the real
test for me…..to figure out what to eat on the bike. What was I going to
want to eat? I don't know!!! I rarely eat on the bike and usually
only fuel with sports drink but now that we were going to be on the bike for 60
+ miles I HAD to eat. I just packed it all (gels, blocks, bars, etc) so
that I had a choice. Better off with some food that you will actually eat
because what sounds good now may not sound good at race pace. I was ALREADY
thinking about Stage 6 and how I could make it that far without depleting my
body or getting dehydrated so I really wanted to be careful. I also
settled for carrying 2 sports bottles and no camelback because there were going
to be plenty of feed stations along the way.
Neutral Start: CRASH
Before the race started I was on
my head. There was a neutral roll out from the hotel to downtown Cordoba
before Stage 1 began. I knew jitters were in the air and I told myself to
stay out of trouble. I purposely put myself ALONE in the extremely large
pack when from out of nowhere a guy swooped in, crossing bars with mine!!
We fought it for a while and I ended up going down hard on the pavement.
Everything flew out of my pockets and no one hit me thank heavens. Jenny was
luckily right there to gather everything that had launched and get us back up
to the group before the stage start.
The bike was fine and I was
fine- more just annoyed. Got the first war wound on my bike from that one.
Can't believe everything was ok aside from what turned into a sore left arm for
the rest of the week. To think that my (our) race could have been over
before it even began!!!
STAGE 1: Córdoba–Cerro
Jenny and I rolled up to the
start of the race only having a few minutes to shake off the shock of the
crash. The gun goes off and I send my body into more shock racing from
downtown Cordoba towards the hills for 6400 feet of climbing. That kind
of intensity trying to get a good position in the pack made me feel like I
wanted to barf for the first 2 hours of the race. Awesome feeling.
But my mind was easily diverted
as all the Andalucía Bike Racers had been started WITH a separate Marathon race
that had 1000 starters. It was flat out mayhem as Jenny and I rode with
groups for the first 2.5 hours of the race. Still at that point there was only
about a 10 second gap to the next person. I even gave some poor guy
begging for food as I rode by my sports bar. When you are out in the middle of
nowhere like that, you are all in it together.
We headed up paved roads, thru
tight singletrack, into tiny towns, and down some of the sketchiest descents
that I found myself riding thanks to my Nobby Nics by Schwalbe Tires!
We passed some amazing ruins during the stage too. It was truly
breathtaking out there. But it wasn't completely dry. There were
MANY stream crossings that were ridable but left you with a cold, wet, and
frozen foot for the rest of the race.
At about the point we thought
the race should be ending it just kept going and going and going. Oops,
they forgot about that last hellish 7k. And it's not that the last 7k was
that bad but when you expect it to end and it's not, that's when the troubles
with the head begin. But Jenny and I kept trucking along even
pushing ourselves up one hideous climb only because people were lining it
screaming. It just about cracked me. That is what you call peer
pressure and we succumbed and both decided after maybe that wasn't the best
idea in the world.
When we finally crossed the line
we were told we had come in 2nd and I really thought that they
had made a mistake. But after a few interviews for Spanish TV and a bunch
of pictures, it was reality that we had indeed really come in 2nd!!
Wow, in my first stage race ever. I think I could like this stuff! : )
Notes: I am loving the
international feel of this race!! 14 countries are represented and it's a
hit or miss if the person speaks English or not. Even have some heavy
hitters from the pro road arena (Heras and Beltran) mixing it up in the dirt
and dust!
STAGE 2: Western Cordoba

Knowledge is power. The so called "Swastika" was & is still used to this day as a symbol of peace and supposedly contains power to the Hindus, Buddhists and Jainists. It has been around for more than 5,000 years.
A quote from Ramesh Kallidai of the Hindu Forum of Britain:
- "Just because Hitler misused the symbol, abused it and used it to propagate a reign of terror and racism and discrimination, it does not mean that its peaceful use should be banned."
Peace & Love to all

As if we needed another reason to heart Jennifer Lawrence, last night during the Golden Globes pre-show, the actress "photobombed" a shot of Ryan Seacrest interviewing Taylor Swift.
I know it's still early in the year, you guys, but this is one photo that's going to be hard to top in the next 11 months. The look on Lawrence's face in the background? Doesn't get much better than this.
Shortly after the moment was captured on film, Seacrest posted the photo to his Instagram, along with the caption, "The single most important photo from the #goldenglobes red carpet." And there's no arguing with that, peeps. I'll take this over a shot of a sparkly gowned-Kate Beckinsale any day.
More from The Stir: 5 Golden Globe 2014 Looks We Adored & 5 Others We Just Abhorred (PHOTOS)
After Lawrence crashed the Swift/Seacrest interview, she joked to Taylor, "I was going to come in and push you down the stairs. I was like, 'She'll crack up. She would really love that.'" Taylor's clever response? "That's so funny." Apparently, the two women have been friends for some time now. Jennifer sent Taylor a text message that was "six inches long" after the CMAs. And Taylor wanted to do the same after seeing Lawrence's performance in American Hustle.
Truth be told, I thought I was over photobombs, being that the media couldn't have possibly been more saturated with them last year. But Lawrence has breathed new life into them for me. God damn, this woman is likable.
Best photobomb ever?
Image via Ryan Seacrest/Instagram
Taylor swift.....same expression all the time, no personality.
Jennifer Lawrenace....Real and doesn't care if she makes a damn fool of herself.
You had me until the last sentence. I was thinking that the Stir finally got a decent writer & then you take the Lord's name in vain? Why? For what purpose? Yeah, great picture, but you cannot take credit for that.
Jennifer Lawrence, be my BFF!
It would be better if they weren't friends.
So funny!

After picking off Andy Dalton and taking it to the house last night, Ed Reed passed Rod Woodson to become the all-time leader in interception return yards.
Reed now has 1,497 INT return yards. Charles Woodson is the closest active player, with 896.
Reed has been a notorious ball-hawk for his entire career with the Ravens, and once again he showed why teams are afraid to throw the ball in his direction.
Not only is he a threat to make an interception at almost any time, he's also a threat to turn it into points for the Ravens, whether it's by giving his offense some great field position, or taking it all the way to the end zone himself.
Reed is tied for 10th all time with 58 career interceptions, but could move up to 6th with just a typical Ed Reed season.
If he retired today, Ed Reed would certainly be a lock to make the Hall of Fame. He has hinted several times at retirement, and this might be his last year on the field.
Where do you think Ed Reed ranks among the all-time greatest safeties to play in the NFL?
