I am just about finished with my new black and white gingham shirt! I have been searching for the right stiffness of interfacing for the collar and stand and I found something I was happy with at Steinlauf and Stoller. This very stiff interfacing, combined with collar stays, creates the perfect crisp collar.
I have put together a little tutorial for creating slots for collar stays on an under collar.
First, you need to create the under collar pattern. In the picture above, the under collar pattern piece is above the top collar to show the amount I have cut away . The collar I use is a wide-spread collar so the pattern may look upside down since the collar points are pointing in the opposite direction a traditional collar points. To clarify, you want to trim the side of the collar that attaches to the stand. I use a 5/8" seam allowance for that edge but 1/4" throughout the rest of the collar (disregard the pencil line - that is NOT the edge that gets folded).
Press the 5/8" allowance to the WS of fabric.
Using your top collar pattern, cut two extensions for the under collar.
Match the under collar with the extensions and baste top, bottom, and side edges. Do not baste pocket opening.
If you usually trim the under collar to make it slightly smaller than the upper collar, do that now.
With a water-soluble marker, mark the seam allowance (in my case 1/4") where the pocket edge meets the bottom edge. Align the edge of your ruler with this mark and offset the ruler 1/4" at the top point (I use a clear ruler for this). Mark line, then mark another line 1/2" from the line you just drew.
First, stitch the longer line right on top of your marking line. Then, stitch shorter line and stop at pocket edge with needle down. Pivot, then edgestitch the pocket edge closed.
When both sides are complete, insert collar stay to ensure they fit (but remember to remove). Continue as usual for the remaining construction of the collar.

Iowa's Largest Solar Farm Saves Farmers Money
Instead of using energy generated by coal-fired power plants, the solar farm will avoid about 2.1 million pounds of carbon pollution each year.
"Literally everybody benefits and I think in the long run even the utilities benefit because this just takes a bit out of their revenue stream," said Barry Shear, President of Eagle Point Solar.
Local Solar Energy Companies Have Enjoyed Growth in Recent Years. Will It continue?
Solar energy start-ups that have taken root in the Washington region in recent years are maturing into bona fide businesses, buoyed in part by economic forces and government policies that have made renewable energy more attractive to consumers.
Standard Solar was founded in Maryland 10 years ago, and its first residential customer was the head of the Solar Energy Industries Association. It has since installed systems on nearly 1,200 more homes of individuals without existing ties to the industry.
Jinko Power To Develop 100 MW Of PV Projects In Hengfeng, China

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Capacity Quickly Expands When States Provide the Right Incentives
The American solar photovoltaic (PV) industry has grown tremendously in recent years. In 2012, more than 3,300 MW of solar power were installed throughout the United States, with a record 1,300 MW installed in the last three months of the year alone. Falling costs for hardware and installation have accelerated this trend, but it has mainly been driven by public policies that generously reward those who install solar systems.
PUC OKs more solar capacity for Xcel
The solar industry applauded a decision by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission that allows Xcel Energy Inc. (NYSE: XEL) to acquire as much as 33.6 megawatts as part of the company's Solar Rewards program.
Lifesaving Solar Power for Army Firefly Sniper Detection System

ebay has buyer protection plan.
you should still be able to return it up to 30 days
no matter what the seller says about returns.

Star Test of Sirius shows diffraction spikes. This should not be. Should have been able to go higher power and see detail on Jupiter was very disappointed.
Sorry to hear about the weird star test. Diffraction spikes suggest to me stress on the glass. If so, it can come from several sources.
For example, I had an older 5" oil spaced AP lens that also displayed diffraction spikes, the cause of which were the screws used to secure the cell in the tube. They were very tight and applied enough pressure to the cell to stress the glass. Loosening the screws fixed everything. Extreme cold can also shrink the cell & tube to the point of pinching. Also, Roland sometimes used a gel rather than oil. As the gel ages, it too can apply stress to the lens block.
The former 2 you can check out yourself, the latter will require a return to AP. It may take a few months to get it back too as Roland works service returns in as time permits. Also, there will be a service charge ( I paid $300 for another lens return that displayed a hexagonal diffraction pattern). However, you'll get back a basically new lens, fully serviced and tested.

It will be interesting to find out what is causing this problem.
best regards
Posted 25 January 2013 - 11:44 AM
I don't think diffration spikes is the best way to describe the aberration we saw. It was more like a very "hairy" outer ring. It is caused from a turned edge.
Did you test with a very narrow-band green filter? The early A-Ps are not perfectly color corrected and the star test can be muddied by CA.
Also, IIRC, "hairy" outer ring is a sign of rough optics. Turned edge gives you clear rings on on side of focus and fuzzy ones on the other. Here's Suiter's link for reference:
As I doubt Roland ever produced rough optics, you may want to check the lens for oil leakage and separation. A separation around the edge could be producing what you're seeing.

Alex Ostrovsky named as IDF base 'price tag' suspect. A troubled man who is outcast in his hometown of Eli, he has previous criminal record and is known for his connection to Hilltop Youth
Raanan Ben Zur
Published: 09.20.11, 15:07 / Israel News
Raanan Ben Zur
Later, police detained Halel Leibowitz - a 19 year-old right-wing activist and Kiryat Arba resident over suspected involvement in the case. Police said he will be questioned under advisement. The teen's relatives claimed he was a bereaved brother who had recently been called in for questioning.
Related Stories:
Earlier in September, anonymous vandals broke into a military base in the Binyamin region, cut the cables of IDF
jeeps, damaged vehicle tires and spray painted them with the words "Ramat Migron". At least 11 vehicles were damaged.
The "price tag" actions came in response to the demolition of structures in the Migron outpost.
Ostrovsky's attorney, Adi Keidar said that his client denied the charges and that he was only arrested due to a rumor. He added that he knew the true culprits.
During the hearing, a police representative was asked to outline police suspicions with regards to Ostrovsky. The official refused to answer this as well as any other questions. He claimed that Ostrovsky's name came up a few days ago in relation to the investigation, and that when the evidence pointed to his involvement, a decision was made to arrest him.
Keidar then asked why, if police had evidence against his client over a week ago, did they not arrest him at the time.
Many of Ostrovsky's friends were present at the hearing. As he was brought into the courtroom one of them shouted: "We're certain of your innocence, you have our complete support."
The suspect, a secular 27-year-old stands out in the local landscape. He is something of an outcast in Eli were many residents choose to join the IDF officer program. "He is unusual in that he hangs out with people who have no connection to the settlement."
One resident told Ynet that Ostrovsky is "a kind of guru among the Hilltop Youth. They come home at all hours, returning from who knows where and it's quite obvious they aren't sitting around some campfire. I wasn't at all surprised that he was arrested, that he's connected in some way. As soon as we heard of the case I assumed that he must be connected."
He added that the suspect had previously been arrested: "Every time it happens and he's questioned, he's proud of it. He enjoys all the attention that being involved in these cases entails. He's an attention seeker as he comes from a complicated background. He tried to study but failed to complete his exams. His family is originally from Beit El, they arrived in Eli 10 years ago."
In Eli, residents frowned upon the suspect's behavior, he added. "He isn't a normative person. There have been quite a few times where people on the settlement warned that he was getting involved in these things; they were displeased to say the least. This is not the way of Eli. He does the occasional work here. If he's guilty, he must be brought to justice, but he must also receive help."

Ostrovsky has a criminal record and there are several cases of rioting and disturbance still pending against him.
Last year he was convicted of assaulting two Palestinian brothers and a police officer. The Jerusalem Magistrate's Court gave him a two months suspended sentence, a NIS 2,500 fine ($670) and NIS 2,000 ($550) in damages to the brothers plus NIS 1,000 ($270) to the police officer who was hurt while trying to separate the three.

The undisputed winner in the Rasterization category is Quadro2 Pro from NVIDIA, which reached a whopping 112 fps on the Athlon 1.2 GHz platform. This is not surprising, as the Quadro2 Pro shows a texture fill rate that is ten times higher than that of its counterpart.
The scenes of Geom2.MAX uses up to 200,000 polygons. They contain a good blend of connected as well as separate objects and are therefore an excellent test of graphics card T&L-capabilities. The FireGL2 by Diamond takes the lead, even though its theoretical polygon fill rate is supposed to be slightly lower than that of the Quadro2 Pro.

May 30, 2016
Memos obtained Monday by The Associated Press show that FEMA struggled to locate food, ice, water and even body bags in the days following Hurricane Katrina.
The former head of FEMA and an agency spokeswoman said in response that the disaster was so enormous that communications were sometimes nonexistent, and that no one memo could show a clear picture of the mammoth mobilization.
The memos show a frantic effort punctuated by bureaucratic chaos, infighting and concerns about media coverage.
Five days after the storm hit on Aug. 29, Michael Brown, then director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, e-mailed an aide saying there had been "no action from us" to evacuate storm victims using planes that airlines had made available.
A subordinate, Michael Lowder, e-mailed in reply less than 30 minutes later: "This is flat wrong. We have been flying planes all afternoon and evening."
Battling their own difficulties, FEMA officials were less than complimentary of Louisiana officials.
Brown said Monday that the memos "in general, will show that this was a disaster of catastrophic proportions where communications were difficult at best, and communications were nonexistent at other times."

MOORESVILLE – If you hear gunshots downtown, don't panic. The "Banshee" TV series is back in town, and local stores and residents have had the chance to experience the filming firsthand.
Danny Martin, who works at the Mooresville Ice Cream Company, was hired as a background actor. His role was to walk across the sidewalk in the opening scene of an upcoming episode.
Martin went up to one of the production's crew and said, "What does it take to get a part on the show?"
His boldness paid off, and he can officially put "actor" on his résumé.
Martin said it took 20 minutes and 30 takes for his small scene. The costume department said he could wear his regular clothes as long as he wore muted colors. Martin hopes he will have a second chance to work on another scene.
Besides the thrill of being on a show, his favorite part of filming "Banshee" involved food. The company set up what is called "base camp" behind Merinos Home Furnishings, where caterers piled plenty of food onto hungry actors' plates.
The production company's generosity extended to a couple of stores – the Mooresville Ice Cream Company and HEbrews Coffeehouse, where they left a sizable tab at both places for the crew and performers to pick up snacks during the day.
"People don't realize all the business the filming company brings to town," said Nikki Tate, co-owner of Hebrews Coffeehouse.
Production workers "rented" certain stores for the show. This required the crew to empty out the entire contents of the store and furnish it for the needed scene in the script.
Aubrey Hartman, of the Quilters Loft Company, said "Banshee" turned the sewing store into a bookstore, redressing the entire interior with books. The filming didn't interrupt business – in fact more people came into the store to see what was going on.
According to one of the production crew members, the company does anything needed to repair any damage done during the filming, including repainting if necessary.
Vacant buildings were also rented.
The production company turned an empty store into a 1940s-style coffee shop, complete with stools, a jukebox and hand-painted signage on the window, allowing a passerby to do a double-take at the "new" restaurant in town.
Two crew members of Screaming Spirits Productions, Mark Cook and Fred Phelps Jr., said their company hires locals for much of the work they do. They both expressed a concern that North Carolina's film tax incentives could be taken away with a bill introduced in the N.C. General Assembly.
Ray Bivins, a veteran of movies such as "Talladega Nights" and "Children of the Corn," coordinates special effects for "Banshee." He's done more than 120 movies, one-third in North Carolina, adding the last five years he's worked more in North Carolina than he has the other 25 years.
"I just spent $3,000 at the Mooresville Lowe's," Bivins said. "I also hired 14 workers from this area and gave them work."
He noted how producing a film is extremely expensive. A scene shot June 13 will last only 45 seconds but will cost $10,000 to produce it.
Filming in North Carolina may still be up in the air, but for right now, many locals will have great memories of this season's "Banshee" filming.

Last weeks goals
Really these are goals from 2 weeks ago that you can view here, since I took a week off for my birthday.
1. I did manage to get all my blogging for the week done before my husband and I left for a full weekend away just the two of us. This goal took so much time that I did not manage to complete my other two goals but it was worth it 2 days completely off blogging really refreshed me.
2. I didn't take another stab at creating a gift for my daughter's friends.
3. I didn't clean out the humidifier but the outdoor air has finally warmed up enough that I don't need it..but I still do need to clean it and put it away till next winter.
3 goals for this week
1. Mail out a letter that has been sitting around our home a few days too long.
2. Work on reorganizing my small and getting smaller collection of coupons. The less processed we eat, and the more homemade cleaners we make the less I am using coupons.
3. Chart my calories and track my steps. (I took a week off from this )
3 pictures from our week
All week long I share photos on Instagram so be sure to follow me there.
Words cannot describe how good it felt to free my feet from socks and shoes and let them enjoy sunshine one day this week. The winter here in Indiana has been long and brutally cold.
This happened Friday and it was a proud mommy moment. Those are all the feet that once kicked my ribs from within my womb, and Friday for the first time all of them ran the local running trail with me. We have special family plans in the works that involve these feet, I can't wait to share them with you really soon.
My closest friends and I went to the Melting Pot to celebrate my 4oth. I think it was the most expensive dinner my husband and I have ever had, but you only turn 40 once. The experience was amazing. It took over 4 hours from start to finish to work our way through the 4 course meal. Amazing food, amazing friends, amazing conversations all equaled up to an amazing night I won't forget.
A post to check out
These Oatmeal Breakfast Bars are my husband's favorite grab and go breakfast. They freeze well too.
A book a week for 2014
I made it my goal to read 1 book a week this year.
I finished: Further Still, Tidewater Inn and How To Make Money Blogging (I did a lot of reading during my b-day week)
I am currently reading
1. In real paperback form
Beyond Ordinary (psst…. got this book free from Tyndale Rewards)
2. On My Kindle Paperwhite
Enough:Finding More By Living With Less
3. On my Kindle App
It Takes An Egg Timer: A Guide To Creating Time For Your Life
3 things I tossed this week
Inspired by The Clutter Busting Challenge I decided to toss, sell or give away three things each week and post a picture of it here for accountability.
One pair of shoes went in the give pile, and 2 shirts with stains went in the rag pile.

In the books, Melisandre begins to notice a few changes while she's at the Wall. First of all, her magic is way stronger while she's there, and while she thinks it has to do with spells that were woven into the Wall during its construction, there's probably more to it than that.
As we all know, Mel believes Stannis to be the reincarnation of Azor Ahai, a hero from the religion of R'hllor who once saved the world from darkness. Her religion teaches that he will live again when cold and darkness threaten the world, which seems to be happening with the return of the White Walkers.
However, while she's at the Wall, Mel's visions begin to change. She no longer sees Stannis in her flames when she asks to see her savior, instead, she sees Jon Snow. That's right, Mel starts to come to the conclusion that she's been following the wrong guy and it's Jon Snow, not Stannis, who will lead the world against the White Walker threat. Whether this ends up coming to pass or not remains to be seen, but that's why Mel takes a sudden interest in ol' Jon.
Do you think the show will go in this direction? Let us know in the comments below!

Family Planning
Family Planning assures that all individuals have the freedom to make reproductive decisions. In order to enable the individual to make and implement a responsible decision, there should be access to information and services related to sexuality, reproduction, methods of contraception, fertility control and parenthood. Furthermore, Comprehensive Health asserts that both parenthood and non-parenthood are valid personal decisions.
Birth Control
Comprehensive Health offers a wide range of birth control options. To help you select the best method for you, it is important to examine the facts before you make a decision. Our clinicians can provide you with information on the following methods and help you decide which one is best for you.
- Birth Control Pills must be taken once a day at the same time of day for maximum effectiveness. Pills primarily work by preventing the release of the egg and thickening the cervical mucus to keep sperm from joining the egg.
- Depo-Provera is a hormone shot of progestin injected into your arm or buttock every 12 weeks. Like the Pill, it prevents the release of the egg, thickens cervical mucus to keep sperm from joining the egg and may prevent implantation in the uterus. Some women who cannot take the Pill can use Depo-Provera.
- Diaphragm is a shallow latex cup. Your clinician will fit you properly for a diaphragm and show you how to coat it with spermicide and place it in your vagina to kill sperm and/or prevent them from joining the egg.
- IUC (Intrauterine Contraception) is a small plastic device a clinician places in your uterus. The IUC contains copper or hormones that keeps the sperm from joining the egg and prevents implantation in the uterus.
- Spermicides are birth control options that are available over the counter. These include contraceptive foam, cream, jelly, film and suppository. These methods are all designed to kill sperm and keep them from joining the egg. The effectiveness depends on which product you use and on your using them properly. Be sure to follow the directions closely.
- Condom is one of the most common and inexpensive ways to prevent pregnancy AND Sexually Transmitted Infections, including HIV/AIDS. While condoms can be made of either latex or animal tissue, ONLY LATEX CONDOMS PREVENT DISEASE. Cover the penis before intercourse to keep the sperm from joining the egg.
- Female Condoms also prevent STIs as well as pregnancy. Sometimes called "vaginal pouches", they are polyurethane sheaths with bendable rings at each end. The condom is inserted into the vagina and sperm are prevented from entering the cervix.
- Periodic Abstinence/Fertility Awareness Method involves charting your menstrual cycle and detecting certain physical signs to help you predict the days you are most fertile. A clinician can explain to you what signs to look for and how to chart them. Using this method, you would abstain from intercourse or use condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps or spermicides to prevent pregnancy.
- Ortho Evra® "the Patch", as it is commonly referred to, is a new form of contraception. It is a thin, beige, plastic patch that sticks to the skin. It works to prevent pregnancy by keeping eggs from being released by the ovaries.
- Nuvaring® is a new form of contraception. It is a polyethylene vinyl acetate ring that is smaller than a diaphragm, which is easily inserted into the vagina. It works to prevent pregnancy by keeping eggs from being released by the ovaries.
- IMPLANON™ is a small, thin, implantable hormonal contraceptive that is effective for up to three years. It prevents pregnancy in several ways. The most important way is by stopping release of an egg from your ovary. It also changes the mucus in your cervix and this change may keep sperm from reaching the egg and changes the lining of your uterus.
Pregnancy & Contraception
Pregnancy Testing and Options Counseling:
Pregnancy testing is offered by appointment or on a walk-in basis. Our staff can counsel you on all the options of managing a pregnancy, including pre-natal care, adoption and abortion. Click here for more information on abortion services -www.comprehensivehealth.org.
Emergency Contraception:
Commonly called the "morning after pill", Emergency Contraception (EC) is just that - contraception you can use on an emergency basis. If you have unprotected sex, have a condom that breaks during intercourse, forget to take your pill, or if you are the victim of sexual assault, emergency contraception can help.
EC can reduce the risk of pregnancy if started within 120 hours after unprotected vaginal intercourse. The sooner it's started, the better. EC reduces the risk of pregnancy by 75-89 percent when the first dose is taken within 72 hours. For more information on EC visit - www.plannedparenthood.org/ec.
Is Emergency Contraception (EC) the same as the abortion pill?
No, they are two different things. Also known as the "morning after pill", emergency contraception (EC) can reduce the risk of pregnancy if started within 120 hours after unprotected vaginal intercourse. The sooner it's started, the better. EC reduces the risk of pregnancy by 75-89 percent when the first dose is taken within 72 hours. EC will not induce an abortion and should not be used if you are already pregnant.
The abortion pill is called mifepristone, the "early option pill." Mifepristone must be taken within 56 days from your last menstrual period. It is 95% effective in terminating a pregnancy and is a way to end pregnancy without surgery.
Currently, both EC and mifepristone require a prescription. More information on mifepristone can be found at - www.earlyoptionpill.com.
How do you use EC?
The FDA-approved EC pill called Plan B® (progestin only) is actually two hormone pills taken 12 hours apart. It prevents pregnancy if a woman takes the first dose within 120 hours of having unprotected sex. The sooner it's started, the better. EC reduces the risk of pregnancy by 75-89 percent when the first dose is taken within 72 hours.
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) - Testing & Treatment
Comprehensive Health can provide testing, treatment and education for sexually transmitted infections, including all of the following:
- Trichomoniasis, also known as "trich", is a common vaginal infection that can be cured with an antibiotic. Caused by a one-celled organism, "trich" causes vaginal itching, redness, and a yellow-green discharge. It can cause pain or discomfort during intercourse or urination and can increase the risk of HIV.
- Chlamydia is the name of the most common bacterial STI in the U.S. It is the leading cause of infertility problems in women. Often, symptoms do not appear, or disappear quickly, making a regular STI screening the best means of diagnosing chlamydia. However, chlamydia is treated easily with a visit to a health center and antibiotics.
- Gonorrhea is caused by a bacterium that thrives in moist, warm areas of the body. These areas include the genitals, reproductive tract, rectum and throat. Like chlamydia, the symptoms can be hard to detect, but a clinician can diagnose the infection and treat it with antibiotics.
- Hepatitis B is a virus that causes chronic inflammation of the liver. Again, if you have this virus, you might not experience any symptoms. However, if you have flu-like symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever and muscle fatigue, along with a yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice) and dark urine or light stools, you might be infected. This infection does not have much of a treatment. Many sufferers are not able to take the medicine usually prescribed, and there is a chance that, despite treatment, you will not be able to clear the virus in a few months time. If this is the case, the condition is considered chronic and you most likely will have occasional bouts the rest of your life. The good news is that this can be prevented with a vaccine.
- HPV or the human papilloma virus is the virus that causes warts, including genital warts. Genital warts are characterized by flesh-colored cauliflower bumps on the penis, vulva, anus, mouth or vagina. They are soft to the touch, cluster in masses, and often itch. We offer chemical removal and prescription options for treatment. Even with treatment, the warts may grow back. Like chlamydia and gonorrhea, though, you can still have HPV and not experience any symptoms. They can also be a warning sign that certain strains of HPV associated with cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina and penis could be present.
- Syphilis is caused by a bacterium that can spread through sexual contact or from a woman to her baby during pregnancy. Sores and rashes occur anywhere on the skin, mouth or genitals. An infection goes through several stages, which get progressively more dangerous. Syphilis won't cure itself, so while it no longer has to be the life threatening disease it once was, it is important to have a clinician diagnose and treat it properly with penicillin and other antibiotics.
- Herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus. A "primary outbreak" of herpes consists of blisters and open sores that itch, hurt and cause a burning sensation during urination. Other symptoms are flu-like, including achiness, fatigue, headache, fever, chills, and swollen glands in the groin. But again, like other STIs, you can have herpes and not exhibit any symptoms. There is no cure, but medications can now reduce the number of outbreaks and the pain a person experiences.
Comprehensive Health also offers testing and counseling for HIV, the virus that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). AIDS is the final stage of a series of illnesses and conditions caused by HIV. You can't get HIV from casual contact like hugging and kissing, or if someone coughs or sneezes. You can't get it from mosquitoes. You get it through exchange of body fluids, so having unprotected sex and sharing sharp objects like needles or syringes, and even razors, can expose you to HIV.
Testing is available at Comprehensive Health. If you are diagnosed with HIV, our clinicians can refer you to resources that will help you manage the illness.

Thanks Mustafa for posting the link.
and Taps, BR defeated Noblesville #2, Eastern Hancock, Valporaiso #2, Penn #2, North Miami, Christian Academy, & Bremen. Their only loss in pool play came in their game against Triton. If memory serves me correctly it ended up being a 3 point game in a fairly low scoring contest (34-31).
BR did not play Northeast Dubois, Orleans, Crawford County, Portage #2, and Hagerstown in pool play.
I do not remember who all they played in their tourney games on Sunday other than they opened with Noblesville, which was a very close game and they did beat Orleans in the tourney as well. They did not get a chance to play Triton again as they were defeated by Dubois. Dubois then fell to Hagerstown, whom BR beat in the final game.
Triton has a tall (6'5"??), slender, blonde haired kid that is very good! Orleans appears to have a host of 3 point shooters, even tho Jones was still out with injury, and I didn't see Andrew Johnson the whole weekend. Perhaps he had other comittments as I didn't think he was a senior last season??
Personally I thought BR looked very well considering they are looking to replace 4 starters. Obviously, I know its summer but BR did get a chance to play lots of different combinations in game situations and were able to play against a variety of styles of basketball. BR appeared to be much stronger physically, in both varsity & JV, then they were at this time last season. Its summer!!, so while I know a lot of what happens now means nothing there were a number of things taken from the summer tourneys that show a lot of promise for the Vikings.
Excellent report - thanks. Did Logan James play? You are right about summer ball not always telling much about how the following season will turn out - but it's usually a pretty good predictor unless there are injuries or other changes. Some kids are able to use the expanded experience to really understand what they need to do to improve - the Zellers come to mind immediately. BR is definitely reloading, but I think they have a chance to be very good. I think Bullock can be very good and I also think Bledsoe can up his game. If those things happen and everyone else makes the sort of progression you would expect given their talents, I see no reason the Vikings can't be a top team in 1A again.
Was the good player for Triton Clay Yeo, or someone else? Yeo is one of the best seniors in the state for next year.

133: RJ Hallman (4-6) or Shayden Terukina (4-4) vs. #11 Nathan McCormick (8-1)
141: Luke Goettl (0-4) vs. Brandon West (6-5) or Nicholas Hucke (8-2)
149: Joey Cozart (7-5) vs. #14 Kyle Bradley (7-3)
157: Mike Moreno (0-5) vs. #18 Drake Houdashelt (8-2)
165: #4 Andrew Sorenson (11-0) vs. #12 Zach Toal (9-0)
174: #7 Chris Spangler (4-1 vs. #3 Dorian Henderson (8-1)
184: #14 Boaz Beard (5-1) or Mikey England (8-3) vs. #19 Mike Larson (8-1) or Clarance Neely (10-5)
197: Cole Shafer (5-5) vs. #18 Brent Haynes (6-3)
HWT: Matt Gibson (8-3) vs. Devin Mellon (7-3)
This is our second best shot at a conference win (the best shot being when we get them at home later in the season). The good news is that they have several guys ranked 14th-18th that we could conceivably pick off. The bad news is that they also have some really good guys at our key weights of 165 and 174. 174 is the match to watch by far. Spangler could take this chance to solidy himself as a favorite to AA and possible finalist. At 165 Sorenson will be facing yet another quality wrestler as he continues his quest towards a championship in his last season. 197 should also be a good match as Shafer gets a chance to show if he can hold his own at that weight against good, but not elite, competition.
Here is my best case scenario:
125: Waters (MU) by decision 0-3
133: McCormick (MU) by decision 0-6
141: Goettl (ISU) by decision 3-6
149: Cozart (ISU) by decision 6-6
157: Moreno (ISU) by decision 9-6
165: Sorenson (ISU) by decision 12-6
174: Spangler (ISU) by decision 15-6
184: Beard (ISU) by decision 18-6
197: Shafer (ISU) by decision 21-6
HWT: Gibson (ISU) by decision 24-6
I don't expect the meet to go like that, but what I want to make clear is that we have a legitimate shot at a win in 8 of the 10 matches.
My more pessimistic prediction is:
125: Waters (MU) by major 0-4
133: McCormick (MU) by major 0-8
141: West (MU) by decision 0-11
149: Bradley (MU) by decision 0-14
157: Houdashelt (MU) by decision 0-17
165: Sorenson (ISU) by decision 3-17
174: Spangler (ISU) by decision 6-17
184: Beard (ISU) by decision 9-17
197: Haynes (MU) by decision 9-20
HWT: Gibson (ISU) by decision 12-20
We match up fairly evenly with Missouri, so the meet could easily swing either way and either team could win by a blowout. Hopefully we'll be able to win the close ones and finally get a dual "W" on the year.

I predict ISU will win this one 19-6. The boys will be fired up for this match.

Wll, if we're going to lose five team points for penalties I hope we earn them!
(The total score of a meet will always be between 30 and 60 unless there are deductions)
174 Christopher Spangler (Iowa State) vs. Dorian Henderson (Missouri)
184 Michael England (Iowa State) vs. Mike Larson (Missouri)
197 Richard Shafer (Iowa State) vs. Brent Haynes (Missouri)
285 Matthew Gibson (Iowa State) vs. Devon Mellon (Missouri)
125 Ryak Finch (Iowa State) vs. Alan Waters (Missouri)
133 Robert Hallman (Iowa State) vs. Nathan McCormick (Missouri)
141 Luke Goettl (Iowa State) vs. Unknown (Missouri)
149 Joseph Cozart (Iowa State) vs. Kyle Bradley (Missouri)
157 Michael Moreno (Iowa State) vs. Drake Houdashelt (Missouri)
165 Andrew Sorenson (Iowa State) vs. Zach Toal (Missouri)
Looks like we're starting at 174. Beard is out and Hallman will wrestle in place of Shayden. Hopefully Spangler can start us off with a win!

Spangler beats #3 Alan Waters 7-4!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was a huge win!!!! Hopefully Mikey can do some magic of his own.
Mikey gets pinned. Missouri leads 6-3.
Thanks for the updates! Keep 'em comin (unless you can tell me where to find the scores on my own).
Shafer gets teched 15-0. Mizzu up 11-3.
Shafer needs to figure out what he's doing at 197, no reason he can't be competitive against most 197 pounders. I never thought I'd say this, but we really could use Ward right now.

Dual Meet Detail
Gibson lose 3-2, had some shots at the end but couldn't quite close it out. Mizzu is up 14-3 and heavily favored in the next two matches.
Finch started strong but wasn't able to keep it up in the second and third periods. loses 13-4, team score is 18-3 Missouri.
For the five matches after intermission, they are heavily favored in 1, we are favored in one, and three could go either way.
McCormick beats Hallman 9-5. Mizzu up 21-3. That could have been a lot worse.
Goetll wins 6-5 for his first dual victory of the year!!!!! Teasm score is 6-21 in favor of Mizzu.
Nice work by Goettl! Hallman's performance was a small step, but still encouraging as well.

Yesterday's idea about indie xmas got some great feedback, and I also wrote about it in the indiegamer boards.
Please feel free to participate and comment the original blog post for your ideas. For example, feedback could be used about the fact that not everybody will manage to finish their game… thus we could consider allowing also "upcoming games videos". Please let me know what you think.
P.S. I accidentally had written "indie xmas 2010" while I meant "indie xmas 2009" in the blog post title. Now… after being pointed out what year it is, I've fixed that typo. It's like my uncle used to say: "The only thing worse than a mistake, is a stupid mistake".

Daniel Harris-Pascal at home in Yarralumla with some of his Indian Runner and Pekin Ducks. Photo: Jeffrey Chan
It wasn't only the mottled Indian runner ducks and two white Pekins who were happy in the wet conditions when Dan Harris-Pascal and I met in Yarralumla. All local kitchen gardeners, like us, were rejoicing at the rainfall after such a dry autumn.
Canberra-born Harris-Pascal, then aged three, moved with his parents Janet Harris and Rich Pascal and brother Chris to a house in Yarralumla. When he was 12, a new family moved in next door. They'd been living at Burra, practicing permaculture.
The young Dan helped tend their vegetable garden, make compost, chase the chooks and plant fruit trees. On his side of the fence he started experimenting with different vegie gardens, eventually moving towards more perennial vegetables that could tolerate growing in the shade.
Daniel Harris-Pascal at home in Yarralumla with one of his Pekin Ducks. Photo: Jeffrey Chan
His time spent in the garden cultivated an interest in plants that led him to study botany and ecology at the Australian National University. He then moved on to study horticulture and ethnobotany at the National Tropical Botanical Gardens in Hawaii and, upon returning to Canberra, he gained qualifications in permaculture.
Through his business, called Seed Head Design, Harris-Pascal has been consulting and designing gardens and food forests ever since. This included developing the kitchen garden at Yarralumla Primary School and designing and implementing forest gardens for Milkwood Permaculture farm and an education site at Orange and Brogo Permaculture Gardens on the south coast.
Last winter, he worked at El Manzano eco-school in Chile with his Chilean partner Veronica Briceno Rodriguez. He has developed a number of short courses teaching food forest garden design and he will be running one in Canberra with Permaculture Exchange on August 10-11 at Yarralumla Primary School.
In his home forest garden, mature trees planted by the previous owners form a canopy and give frost protection. In sunny spots he is growing lemon, orange, lime, peach and fig trees. Other plantings include Chilean guava, feijoa, red currants, rhubarb and a potted tamarillo tree with its large leaves and satiny red fruit, which he poaches. During our visit, a yacon (Polymnia sonchifolia), native to South America, was dug up for its edible tuber.
Native shrubs provide a screen from the road in the front garden and they attract birds and insects that keep the ecosystem functioning in the forest garden.
The loveable ducks don't scratch up tree roots, eat snails and slugs and provide eggs for the kitchen. Harris-Pascal brought the ducks back to Canberra when he returned from Milkwood in December. They jump into the bath pond and splash around as soon as we turn to look at the edible forest.
Harris-Pascal and his neighbours maintain a walkway between their houses in Yarralumla for easy access when the families dine together and because they pool resources. The neighbours, Mathew Long and Teffany Thiedeman, provide sunny garden space in winter.
Twice a year they have a working bee and overhaul the garden. For this year's autumn revamp, they took out remaining tomatoes and pumpkins and fed spent veggies to their four chooks.
Then winter crops were planted, including broccoli, lettuce, beetroot, garlic and onions. Harris-Pascal maintains a Warre beehive in the neighbours' garden to help pollinate the plants and to produce honey.

Top 10: Manly Cars
Number 3
Hummer H11992-2006
Just like the original Jeep became popular as a civilian model after World War II, the Humvee for public consumption was an instant manly car success after Operation Desert Storm. Arnold Schwarzenegger is credited with pumping up AM General to dress it in civvies, and this is no girlie-man's car. The look is unmistakable and intimidating. The toughness and off-road prowess is incredible. It may have generated more publicity than sales during its run of public availability, but it will always be one of the manliest rides ever.
Number 2
Dodge Viper1992-Present
Some cars have had their lean years when they weren't very manly at all. In other cases, it takes a special option package to beef up the works. That comes standard on the Dodge Viper, wholly a man's car since it was launched as a 1992 model. It has always had a V10, and that's always been tied to a manual transmission — no paddle shifters here. What's more, there isn't much to save your bacon if you get too crazy; no coddling electronic aids are going to make it all better. You either get it right or face the consequences — truly the sign of a manly car.
Number 1
AC Cobra1962-1967
It wasn't built to look good, but it did. It wasn't built to overwhelm drivers, but it did. It wasn't built to become part of automotive history, but it did. Carroll Shelby just built the AC Cobra to win, and you'd better believe it did that too. The car was virtually unmatched by anything else on the track or the street, and its performance is still formidable over four decades later. Whether equipped with a 260 cubic-inch, small-block V8 or the fearsome 427, the AC Cobra is our manliest car for its aggressive and timeless looks, untamed character and association with Ol' Shel'.
honorable mention
Muscle car greats1964-Present
When it comes to muscle cars, there's no substitute for cubic inches, and there's no way a look at manly cars could realistically contain just one or two representatives, since most of Detroit (and even Kenosha, Wisconsin, when you include AMC) had multiple interpretations of the philosophy. That's why we opted for a special unranked tribute to them all. From a performance standpoint, many consider the muscle car party to have ended after 1971. With this feature's emphasis, the character has endured — from the first Pontiac GTO through to the screaming chicken Trans Ams, 5.0-liter Mustangs and IROC-Zs to the new Challenger.

Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan Dating Most Eligible Dallas Star Matt Nordgren? Report
In today's random ex-reality star news, Us Weekly reports that Lindsay Lohan is dating Matt Nordgren, who dedicated Bravo fanatics may recognize from his stint on the short-lived docu-reality series Most Eligible Dallas.
Last week, Page Six reported that sources say Matt Nordgren was claiming the two were dating, though the only thing he told them on record is "we've hung out. But I have been a friend trying to support her for many years now." According to Matt he and Lindsay met seven years ago through mutual friends. Hey, it's L.A., so meeting Lindsay Lohan through a friend is just the kind of thing that happens sometimes.
According to Us Weekly's sources, Matt has been "a great influence on [Lindsay], and her friends and family love him."
Outside of his starring role on Most Eligible Dallas, where he memorably had an almost obnoxiously UST-y relationship with his BFF Courtney Kerr, Matt also has a claim to fame as a football star. He was a quarterback for the University of Texas, and spent a season in the NFL as a backup quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. An injury cut his career short.
Whether or not these dating rumors are the real deal, Matt assured Page Six that Lindsay has been "completely sober for months now." That's always nice to hear!

In many respects, Illinois Tool Works (NYSE:ITW) is both remarkable and bizarre. Illinois Tool Works is a serial acquirer, but instead of wasting shareholder money on executive vanity products, the company has a record of doing deals that seem to build value. What's more, the company operates in a lot of businesses that are widely considered to be commoditized, and yet the company maintains high market share, high margins and high returns on capital. In other words, Illinois Tool Works seems to defy a lot of the so-called rules about how big companies operate.
IN PICTURES: 9 Simple Investing Ratios You Need To Know
The Quarter that Was
Like many other industrial conglomerates ranging from Dover (NYSE:DOV) to Danaher (NYSE:DHR), to United Technologies (NYSE:UTX), Illinois Tool Works has been enjoying a solid rebound in its overall business. For the company's fourth quarter, sales rose 11% as reported, with organic sales growth of better than 9%. Top-line growth was led by large segments like packaging and power systems/electronics, with organic growth in excess of 12% and 21%.
Although revenue growth is ticking along nicely, the profitability of the business is not doing quite as well by comparison. The company's operating margin did improve from the year-ago period (up to 13.9% from 12.7%), but the improvement was less than expected and the company did miss earnings (even with a lower-than-expected tax rate kicking in a few extra cents per share).
Nothing really stands out as an obvious source of disappointment, though, and the quarter is hardly a disaster. That said, the company did see a decline in gross margin and the ongoing price pressure in metals, energy, and other basic commodity inputs is not going to help matters.
The Look Ahead
ITW is involved in so many facets of the economy, it is almost unthinkable that there can be a recovery without the company benefiting. Recoveries mean that people buy more things; those things require the sort of packaging materials sold by Illinois Tool Works (and rivals like Owens Illinois (NYSE:OI)). (For more, see Analyzing Operating Margins.)
The same is true for segments like welding, food service, performance materials, coatings, and so on. Although Illinois Tool Works does have to contend with competition from the likes of Lincoln Electric (Nasdaq:LECO), Middleby (Nasdaq:MIDD), DuPont (NYSE:DD), Dover and many others, the company does not tend to linger in business where it is no longer competitive. Likewise, the company both incentivizes and enables managers across its 60 operating segments to do what it takes to stay competitive - leading to a relatively high level of new patent activity when compared to other U.S. industrials and conglomerates. (For more, see Dover Does Diversification.)
The Bottom Line
Tying the economic cycle to specific industries and companies is tricky, but Illinois Tool Works has the look and feel of more of a later-cycle play than many industrial conglomerates. That suggests, then, that the company's recovery may last longer than others who are already starting to face challenging comps.
Perhaps equally relevant, the company appears to be a quality undervalued name. There are relatively few fair comparables with higher returns on invested capital and yet the stock does not appear to trade at any real premium. Remember, this is a company that is still generating good margins from business like plastic strapping.
Assuming that the company can continue to produce a free cash flow margin in line with its 10-year historical average and grow revenue at an 8% clip for the next five years (faster in the early years, slower later on), the stock could be undervalued by 15% or more. That is very close to the point where a quality name like Illinois Tool Works becomes a compelling stock for value-oriented investors. (For more, see The Characteristics Of A Successful Company.)

So if Penn Badgley's playing Jeff Buckley, why did producer Orian Williams tell the Los Angeles Times that Badgley "is not involved with the film at all"?
Because Williams' Jeff Buckley project is not the same as Penn Badgely's Jeff Buckley project. And while it seems very likely that Badgely's movie will wrap first, the other Buckley project has the blessing of the Jeff Buckley estate. (The Badgley project has rights to music from the Tim Buckley estate.)
Got it?
To be clear: Badgley is starring in "Greetings from Tim Buckley," now in preproduction. [See related story.]
However, there's another project, as-yet untitled, about the life of Jeff Buckley that will be produced by Williams and Michelle Sy. And while this film doesn't have a title, its attachments include director Jake Scott; a script by Ryan Jaffe ("The Rocker"); rights to the biography "Dream Brother: The Lives and Music of Jeff and Tim Buckley" by David Browne; and rights to music under the Jeff Buckley estate, which is controlled by his mom, Mary Guibert, who is also an executive producer.
What the untitled Buckley picture doesn't have is a star (Billy Hopkins is overseeing casting) or an official start date, although Williams says he hopes to start pre-production in September and have the film wrapped by the end of the year.
That puts the two projects in what's become a classic for indie biopics: The showdown. And while it's possible both films will be made, there's usually only one winner.
Truman Capote
There was "Capote" and there was "Infamous." "Capote" wrapped two months before "Infamous" began production. "Capote" opened in October 2005 and won an Oscar for star Philip Seymour Hoffman; "Infamous" opened in October 2006 and earned about $1.1 million in North America.
Brandon Teena
Then-Fox Searchlight president Lindsay Law bought "Boys Don't Cry" after seeing 20 minutes of it during the 1998 Sundance Film Festival. Later, Searchlight reached an out-of-court settlement with Diane Keaton's Blue Relief Prods., which had developed another Teena project, "All She Wanted." Law had picked up that project out of turnaround at Fine Line Features about a year earlier, but killed it after the "Boys Don't Cry" acquisition. Later, Teena's former girlfriend, Lana Tisdel, filed a lawsuit against Fox claiming her name and likeness were used without consent.
Marilyn Monroe
The Weinstein Co. has "My Week With Marilyn" starring Michelle Williams slated for release this year. At one point, Naomi Watts was also attached to portray Monroe in "Blonde," with Andrew Dominik directing and adapting Joyce Carole Oates' mock memoir. "Blonde" remains in development.
Harvey Milk
Gus Van Sant made "Milk," which earned an Oscar for star Sean Penn and screenwriter Dustin Lance Black. "The Mayor of Castro Street," with Bryan Singer attached to direct, died in development.
Coco Chanel
In the rare instance of a tie, Audrey Tatou starred in "Coco Before Chanel;" and Anna Mouglani starred in "Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky." Both films were acquired by S0ny Pictures Classics and released in 2009 to prevent cannibalization/competition.

While the U.S. Army has enjoyed success with game-based recruiting for the better part of a decade, the British Army is launching its first probe into the game arena.
As reported by GameSpot:
A campaign entitled "Start Thinking Solider" will include an online game where players have to escape enemy tunnels from a first-person perspective, find the parts to make a bomb in an enemy stronghold, and answer multiple-choice questions.
Research conducted for the British Army recently found that 68 percent of 17-21 year olds had no career path in mind. The campaign, consisting of four television commercials, will be targeted at that group…
While the America's Army series has helped promote military careers to American youth, the use of video games for recruitment has become an increasingly controversial subject in recent times. Among other charges, some critics have claimed that the America's Army games violate United Nations protocols against recruiting children for military service.

Pharrell Williams to Headline Odd Future's Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival
Pharrell Williams is going to bring his 'Happy' spirit to Odd Future's annual Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival in November.
Pharrell Williams is going to bring his 'Happy' spirit to Odd Future's annual Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival in November.
Odd Future makes more than just music, they also create some fine duds as well. The maniacal crew recently debut their lookbook for its Summer 2014 collection.
Odd Future might have an odd future with New Zealand as immigration officials have banned the L.A.-based rap collective from entering the country, finding the group a threat to the public.
Hide your kids, hide your wife! Tyler, the Creator is ready to wreak havoc in 2013. The Odd Future leader unveiled his plans for his second album, 'Wolf,' as well as cities and dates for his upcoming tour.
We haven't heard anything crazy from Odd Future this year, so it's kind of odd that the group has remain relatively quiet in 2012. That is, until last week. According to TMZ, a fan is preparing to sue Odd Future for a recent assault at their concert.
Frank Ocean is the talk of the music industry and for good reason. The Odd Future crooner's open letter about his bisexuality has garnered worldwide support from his fans and fellow artists alike. When news broke, many people wondered how OF leader Tyler, the Creator would react. Well, quite frankly, he already knew and it wasn't a big deal to him.
Ok, it's no secret. I dig Frank Ocean. No, it's not a man-crush. Simply put, the guy is talented. The New Orleans native had a pretty good debut with his debut 'Novacane' and his follow up single 'Swim Good' is even better in my opinion. The video has officially dropped and just like in his video for 'Novacane', the Odd Future crooner went the weird yet artistic route.
This week is another slow week for new album releases, but you already know that New Music Tuesdays aren't just for full albums. New singles, songs that are smashing the clubs and tracks that are buzzing on everyone's playlists and mixtapes is what we do. This wee...
When I was a kid, I used to play with action figures (especially Star Wars, which are still in my attic). Wouldn't it be cool if I could make an action figure of myself to go along with the others so Han Solo and I could fight over Princess Leia...
While I was in Jamaica I missed last week's 'New Music Tuesday' so we have to hop back on track this week with some great new music for everyone's taste. This week we have

The Bachelorette's Ashley Hebert And JP Rosenbaum Will Be Married On Television
October 06, 2011 08:00 AM by Lisa Princ
Last we heard, The Bachelorette's Ashley Hebert and JP Rosenbaum moved in together, and now the couple is planning to share their wedding with the world! That's right, Ashley Hebert and JP Rosenbaum are going to be married on television! Read on for all the details.
The Bachelorette's Ashley Hebert and her beau, JP Rosenbaum, had recently moved in together, and it has been revealed that they will be having a televised wedding. According to Life & Style magazine, a pal close to the couple told them: "Ashley and JP will get married on TV, it's guaranteed." Who is footing the bill for the event? The friend went on to say: ""ABC is happy to pay for a wedding when it knows the couple are as happy and in love as Ashley and JP are."
Ashley Hebert and JP Rosenbaum will have a televised, spring wedding, most likely in April. Apparently, planning is already underway, but it has to wait until the network finishes up some more Bachelor business, as the pal also stated to Life & Style: "It will take place as early as next April after Ben has his season on The Bachelor." Wow, what do you think of the couple having a televised wedding? Will you be tuning in? We don't have many details at the moment, but we will be sure to keep you up to date as more details emerge.

Won't watch. Why does ABC waste the money. Give it to charity and let them pay for their own wedding.

Spring is a long ways off. Is Ashley working as a dentist in New York? It would be a shame for her to have all that training and then decide that the entertainment field is a better match and pays better. Rumor has it that she just bought a house in Maine and that she is going to be a judge for one of their state beauty contests. When ABC agrees to a wedding does the couple get a money bonus in addition to a free honeymoon and wedding. Seems like Molly and Jason would know. Looks like maybe Ashley and JP, Blake and Holly and Ali and Roberto will all be racing to the altar with ABC paying for the fancy weddings–public is bound to get awfully tired of this celebrity circus…

Can't wait for Spring 2012 and Ashley and JP's televised wedding. After all, they are the best matched couple to appear on the show since the first televised wedding. I wish them the very best of what happily ever after truly means. They deserve it!

Dear Mr. Ambassador,
Allow me to thank you for the three wine bottles you sent me for the holidays. My best wishes to your family, to members of your embassy and a good and happy New Year. Good health and progress for all.
Unfortunately, I have noticed that the wine you offered me was produced on the Golan Heights. I have always known since my childhood years that one should neither commit nor accept the proceeds of robbery. I, therefore, cannot accept this gift and must send it back to you.
As everybody knows, and according to International Law and numerous decisions of the International Community, your country continues to illegally occupy the Golan Heights belonging to Syria.
I take this occasion to express my hope that Israel may achieve security inside recognized borders and that terrorist activities against its territory, be it by Hamas or others, will be contained and prevented; and I also hope that your government will cease its practice of collective punishment such as was practiced on a total scale by Hitler and his armies.
Actions as those being taken at present by the Israeli army in Gaza remind me of the Holocaust suffered by the Greeks of Kalavrita, Doxato, Distomo and certainly also that perpetrated in the Warsaw Ghetto.
With these thoughts, permit me to express my best wishes to yourself, the citizens of Israel and the entire region.

Duke Energy's 200 MW Top Of The World Wind Project Online
Duke Energy nears 1,000 MW of wind generation with a new plant going online in Wyoming, how much offshore wind generation opportunity is available to the US, are Americans still favoring solar power and which rental car company is introducing all-electric Sedans to their lineup in 2011.
The 200 MW Top of the World Wind Project has been completed by Duke Energy and is now producing clean energy. The 110 turbine project, which is located near Casper, Wyoming, is expected to generate enough power for 60,000 homes. This project which is the utility's largest project in Wyoming, puts the company's total wind generation capacity at 935 MW. The goal is to hit 1,000 MW by the end of this year.
According to a recently released report by the National Renewable Energy Lab, the United States could utilize strong offshore wind capacity to generate 20% of its energy through wind by 2030. The report says that developing the offshore wind resource along U.S. coastlines and in the Great Lakes could generate up to 54 GW of offshore wind energy, $200 billion in new economic activity and more than 43,000 jobs. NREL cites that 26 states have the capability to take advantage of offshore wind generation but also admits that large financial barriers still stand in the way of many development projects.
An annual poll conducted by Kelton Research shows that 94% of Americans think that developing and using solar energy is important. This output remains fairly consistent with previous polls. In August 2009, 92% favored solar power while 94% saw the importance in the renewable energy in 2008. And while four out of five (80 percent) think that Congress should allocate more federal dollars for the renewable energy sector, less than half (49 percent) of the people polled who are thinking about adding solar to their home or business plan to take action within the next 12 months. To see a full review of the poll finds, please visit http://www.schottsolar.com/us/news/top-news/article/for-third-consecutive-year-national-poll-shows-mo/
California-based CODA Automotive™ and Enterprise Rent-A-Car have announced a partnership in which up to 100 all-electric CODA Sedans™ will be introduced to rental car customers in 2011. The CODA Sedan, which can go 90-120 miles on a single charge, will help Enterprise keep their commitment of reducing energy consumption and costs by 20 percent by 2015.
