Bucs have keen interest in Roethlisberger suspension
The early reports indicate Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is probably looking at a suspension lasting between four and six weeks, according to the Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen on ESPN.
There are expected to be stipulations attached that could reduce the suspension, but it looks very possible right now that Pittsburgh's two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback could be sidelined when his team faces the Buccaneers in Week 3 this fall.
That game is scheduled for Sept. 26 in Tampa.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is expected to make an official announcement shortly. The discipline stems from Roethlisberger's involvement in a rape investigation in Georgia. Authorities there said they lacked sufficient evidence to press charges, but that does not preclude the league from meting out discipline, per the terms of the collective bargaining agreement.

American Idol judges Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey still haven't resolved their differences, but they do seem to have found some common ground — fashion.
During a panel at yesterday's TCA event, journalists asked the women about the altercation that occurred during Idol auditions in North Carolina last fall. Here's the exchange that followed:
Minaj: "We're professionals."
Carey: "It was sort of one-sided."
Minaj: "No, it wasn't."
Carey: "At least we can agree on my shoes."
Speaking of shoes, both Carey and Minaj were wearing red-soled heels from red carpet favorite Christian Louboutin. Carey paired her green Lanvin frock with Louboutin's fur-and-feathered "Pluminette" style, while Minaj opted for a pair of the brand's strappy "Zoulou" platforms.
Whose Louboutins were better? Cast your vote in the poll below.

There's a new shopping spot in town. You've all probably seen the Home Decorator's Collection catalog in the mail, right? Well, Atlanta now has a real live store to shop in and I just found out recently that Home Depot owns HDC!
The new store is located at Northpoint Mall area, in case you want to stop by and see it for yourself. Definitely worth it!
I was in there awhile ago and enjoyed looking around. After seeing the catalog for so many years, it was nice to see their products in person. I think this store just opened in the summer here in Atlanta.
They have a nice selection of home decor items and organizational things and the prices are fairly reasonable too.
These side tables were interesting and unique.
Lots of decor accessories at all prices.
Decorative items
Lots to choose from, in accessories and furniture.
Lovely pillows
They have a huge selection of these Parson's chairs, which make great dining chairs. Good prices on these!
Lots of colors to choose from too.
Tables, chairs and rugs
Love these pierced white vases
Aqua blue glass
Occasional chairs and side tables
Lots of pretty things to see.
They have a really good selection of upholstered headboards too, in case you don't want to DIY one.
Several fabric choices in these also.
I was really interested to see the Martha Stewart furniture collection for crafting enthusiasts. Wrapping station was really cool! In fact, my sister just got this in white for her downstairs craft room that we are working on. The stenciled wall is done and she found a table and chairs on Craigslist that we'll be painting….guess what color? Tangerine chalk paint. You know I'll share!
Nice organizational pieces.
Lots more accessories.
Cute stools
Definitely worth stopping in if you are in the Northpoint area.
These are the Martha Stewart benches and canvas drawers, just like the one I used on our porch redo. Love that the drawers come in all sorts of colors.
And a ton of clocks.
I thought those of you in Atlanta would enjoy seeing the new Home Decorator's Collection store. I enjoyed my visit and would definitely go back!

Dear Gordon Brown, Honourable Members of Parliament, Politicians, Lords, and Etcetera.
Dear Politicians,
I am writing to get a few things off my mind. Some of you I know are in your jobs for genuine reasons of wishing to serve the public. Maybe the majority. However our democracy is broken and it is up to you to fix it.
Being in government or the houses of parliament does not just come with benefits and rights, it comes with responsibilities. You have lost sight of your responsibilities. The collaborative nature of the two party systems sets you apart from the rest of the population. This is unhealthy.
The collaboration between media, finance, the political elite and industrialists that has ruled since 1979 and the election of thatcher must end. The elected members of the House of Commons must take it upon themselves to finish the job of removing the feudal Lords from power. a second elected chamber must be enacted. The powers of the military, secret services and Government must be brought under full scrutiny.
Some people are suggesting fewer elected MP's is the answer to the current issue of expenses claims that headlines daily. I suggest the opposite. We need to remove the unelected and have a second non geographic based second house. A house that represents the British population in all it's multicultural glory.
Once you have done this it is time to stop the practice of off shore banking. Tax must be paid in measure equal to income by all who profit from activities on this territory called The United Kingdom – wherever they reside.
The Monarchy must go and the church must be seperated from state. The Queen must be forced into negotiation as to what she owns after the seperation and what goes to the nation. Much of the wealth she holds privately comes from the historic, anachronistic, feudal wealth her blood thirsty forebears accumulated over the centuries and through the rape of the world.
Stop the rot. Start to act. You won't keep your jobs unless you start to act for the people.
Stop spying on us. We do not like it and it is bad for society. When Government does not trust the people the people will not trust the Government. You started it and you must stop it.
Stop playing global politics with weapons and words and Govern this country lightly and well. It's a long job to get there but freedom has been fought over and lost so many times. We live at a moment when new technology and communication makes global peace, equality and freedom possible.
However, trying to design that behind the scenes with the global design set by bankers and bilderbergers is not the right way forward.
The New World Order has to be one of freedom and not enslavement. If you have not watched "The Obama Deception" watch it on the post below this one.
The truth is not always what it seems. It is not always pretty. Hardworking MP's are being screwed in the media to take our minds off the global financial fraud that is being undertaken to help ensure global financial dictatorship by fewer than 300 of the worlds' richest citizens. They think they have a right to rule us by bloodline – and with our blood, your blood and your childrens' if needed.
Stand tall and be real. Start demanding change. End the rule of the worlds' global elite. start at home because London is the keystone in this. Audit the city. Change the world – for the better, please. If you don't we will do it ourselves, starting by replacing you.

GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL ROUNDUP: Gov. Walker not a fan of term limits for politicians
Governor Scott Walker says the high turnover in the state Legislature proves that Wisconsin does not need term limits for its politicians. He says it's another reason that the Badger State is more aggressive about reform than neighboring Illinois -- where minority Republicans recently proposed a constitutional two-term limit for its statewide officers. At least 22 of Wisconsin's 99 Assembly members are leaving their posts after this year, along with seven of the 33 senators. During a recent visit to Kaukauna, the Republican Walker told W-H-B-Y Radio in Appleton that Wisconsin has people willing to serve in Madison, and then go back home and serve in their home communities -- or to retire because it's time. Not all of Wisconsin's departing lawmakers are in those boats. A few are seeking higher office this fall. Some are leaving because they're tired of the polarization. Also, it was reported earlier this week that Assembly Speaker Robin Vos urged G-O-P colleagues who are thinking about leaving in 2016 to do so now, so the party has a better chance of keeping the majority at least through 2018.
An official of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation is being promoted. Tricia Braun has been named the new vice president for economic and community development in the state's job creation agency. She'll lead the W-E-D-C's efforts to work with businesses and communities in expanding their job bases. She joined the department last November as a regional development and job attraction director. Before that, Braun spent 15 years in economic development agencies in three other states.
Wisconsin's political polarization has not only led to fewer competitive legislative seats -- it has also discouraged regional cooperation in the state's largest population center. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Craig Gilbert spent six months in a Marquette University project which analyzed the effects of a predominantly-Democratic Milwaukee and Madison and the deeply-Republican counties which surround them. His newspaper published a fourth major story about Gilbert's research today. Marquette political scientist Amber Wichowsky said the political dividing lines make it difficult to tackle major problems in ways that benefit the entire Milwaukee region. U-S House Republican Jim Sensenbrenner of Menomonee Falls says it all depends on how regional cooperation is defined. If it means quote, "unloading Milwaukee costs on the collar counties, you'll see a great deal of push-back on that." City alderman Robert Bauman says the suburbs ignore the value of what big-city attractions bring to a region, when they oppose things like cultural institutions and a new Bucks' arena.
Rhinelander is the latest Wisconsin city to ban hand-held cell phones while driving. The Common Council voted 5-to-3 this week to join Wausau, Marshfield, and Wisconsin Rapids in restricting cell-chatting behind the wheel. Supporters cited safety concerns. Opponents said the situation is already covered by the existing inattentive driving laws. One council member asked what's next, saying that many drivers also eat, put on makeup, and do other things which distract their driving. Rhinelander Police Chief Michael Steffes said there would be a grace period before tickets start being issued. Signs will also be posted alerting drivers to the hand-held cell ban.
State transportation officials have announced a renewed effort to catch traffic violators with aerial patrols. D-O-T safety director David Pabst says the idea is not to secretly spy from above. He says they want you to know they're there, so you can voluntarily avoid a ticket by slowing down and driving safer. The D-O-T plans to announce many of this summer's enforcement dates on Twitter. Sixty-four aerial enforcement missions were made a year ago, in which an officer radioed troopers on the ground who stopped two-thousand vehicles. About 13-hundred speeding tickets were issued that way. Those officers also caught eight drug offenders, and six people wanted on warrants. A six-member team flies three planes based in Madison, Eau Claire, and Oshkosh. Those are the same numbers of planes from 2012, the last time there was a major news story about the subject. At that time, the emphasis was on construction zones -- where many violators are caught by aerial patrols. Those efforts have not always been in vogue in recent years. Former Governor Jim Doyle cut state funding for the aerial patrols in 2003, when one state airplane was sold. But the officers went back in the air a year later.

So then: "The storm door was clanging before and behind us to the point of knocking furiously against the frame, in passing cutting off the long howl of the wind that was rushing up the stairs."

Tibetan knife
Last updated by kitty at 2017/5/22
Tibetan knife is a traditional famous artwork with a long history and a longstanding good reputation in Tibet. Its distinctive feature makes itself popular with the tourists. The knife is an indispensable tool for Tibetan people who use it to cut meat, to defend themselves, and for special decoration. Generally speaking, Tibetan knives strengthen man's courage, power and make girls look smarter and more swellish. Tibetan knife guard impresses people like the weak conquering the strong. It makes people feel safe, strong, and become full of intrepid national personality. Tibetan knives are much different in prices according to the materials and the handcraft. To buy Tibetan knives, visitors are strongly recommended to go to Shigatse, where the knives are meticulously made and decorated with delicate silver handles. One thing to be reminded is that knives are not permitted to bring on planes, if you like to buy some, just post them home.

Plane Crash Kills One, Injures Another in Arcola, TX
A plane crashed and caught fire at an Arcola, Texas airstrip on Monday morning, killing one and injuring another.
Details about the Plane Accident in Arcola
KHOU News in Houston is reporting that, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety, a small plane crashed and caught fire at an Arcola airstrip on Monday morning.
The flight instructor was killed and his or her student who was a passenger in the plane was severely injured. The crash happened at about 10:18 a.m. at the Houston Southwest Airport on McKeever Road.
One person was dead at the scene and a medical helicopter responded to the scene to take the flight student to the hospital. Investigators are saying that the plane clipped another object during takeoff which caused the crash.
The fire from the accident was put out at about 11 a.m. The Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office says that the investigation was turned over to the Department of Public Safety officials.
Statistics about Plane Crashes in the United States
According to The Washington Post, commercial flights are fairly safe – there were 30,800 fatal car crashes in 2012 and zero commercial airline crashes. Aviation accidents are far more common in smaller, private planes:
- In 2012, 440 people died in general aviation airplane crashes in the United States.
- Figures from 2013 show that 387 people were killed in general aviation accidents.
- The general theory as to why smaller planes are more dangerous is that they are far less regulated than domestic commercial flights.

Who is a typical iPhone owner? That question was the motivation behind a Gadgetology study initiated by Retrevo, a consumer electronics shopping destination. In the study the iPhone owners were asked a number of questions related to how they interact socially with and without their smartphone.
When asked, "What makes a person most attractive to you?" cool gadgets won the day three to one over a college degree. That's probably why, if you are an owner of an out-of-date gadget, one in three iPhone owners say it would be a turnoff. If you're dating someone who is an iPhone owner there is a one in three chance that he/she texted or emailed a partner to break up. In regard to a reason for a breakup, one in four iPhone users have ended a relationship because the person spends too much time on their mobile device–that's ironic.
Wow, I used to look for just a wedding ring before I asked someone out on a date. Now it sounds like I need to start looking to see if they have an iPhone. Not to say that's a bad thing. After all, the study also found that one in five iPhone owners frequently watch "adult material" on their iPhone. That was twice as many as BlackBerry owners. So, if you are looking for someone more conservative you may want to date someone with a BlackBerry. I'll keep to myself which smartphone I would prefer on a lady.

A component leak of what may be a part of the next iPhone is indicating that Apple might plan on beefing up the device's camera.
The part, which was found via nowhereelse, looks similar to that of the iPhone 5's, but some key differences are hinting at a revised camera module. At the far end of the board, we can see that the camera connections are now stitched together to form a single piece, whereas, in the iPhone 5 the part was composed of two ribbons.
A change in material and connection method don't mean that Apple is going the same route as Nokia's 'smartphone with an extremely good camera' pitch, but what it does mean is we might see some design changes and possibly a better camera.
Various reports have indicated that there might not be an iPhone 5S. Instead, Apple may go straight to an iPhone 6. Competitors in the Android space have dropped some heavy artillery into the smartphone coliseum lately, and an iPhone 5S will hurt Apple's image, therefore, sales. The 'incremental' upgrades of the 'S' strategy probably won't work for Apple anymore. So be it a heftier camera or a bigger screen, Apple has to prove that its products are still worth the money and attention.

Italy secured top spot in Group A as Andrea Bertolacci's late equaliser secured a 1-1 draw against Norway at the European Under-21 Championship.
• Highlights: Israel 1-0 England (US only)
• Pearce blames his players
Norway resisted some heavy pressure but looked to have snatched a victory - and first place in the group - when Stefan Strandberg converted a 90th-minute penalty after having been fouled by Luca Caldirola.
However, Bertolacci headed home deep into injury time to ensure the Azzurrini claimed a deserved share of the spoils.
Meanwhile, there was further disappointment for England as they lost 1-0 to hosts Israel and ended the tournament without a single point.
England enjoyed more possession in the first half but Israel looked sharper. The hosts were also looking more inventive, epitomised in the second half by a wonderful 30-yard strike by former Manchester City trialist Nir Biton that rattled the crossbar.
The Israelis showed much more drive, determination and appetite than an insipid England side, who deservedly went behind to a Ofir Krieff goal with ten minutes remaining.
The strike proved decisive as Israel ran out victors at the Teddy Stadium, sending England home with their worst ever record at an Under-21 tournament and leaving Pearce's position looking more precarious than ever.

Sgt Jack Wayne Barzelogna
Mar. 4, 1937
Dickenson County
Virginia, USA
Oct. 26, 1997
Port Huron
St. Clair County
Michigan, USA
Jack Barzelogna was the son of Peter B. Barzelogna (an Italian Army World War I Veteran, b 2-16-1898, d - 1-5-1976) and Anna G. Spencer Barzelogna (b 10-11-1913, d - 4-13-1991). After his family left Big Ridge, Virginia while he was still in childhood, he grew up in Detroit, Michigan. He enlisted in the US Air Force as an Armaments Technician in 1955, served 12 years in the Air Force, obtained the rank of Staff Sergeant and left the service to return home to Michigan. He was in the United States (stationed at an Air Force Base in South Dakota having nuclear missile silos which was a nuclear target for the Soviet missiles in Cuba) during the Cuban Missile Crisis, October 1962, and once indicated that it (and being in the front row of a nuclear confrontation with the Soviet Union) was the greatest level of fear he experienced while serving in the US Air Force. He married Mary Ann Perdue (b 5-6-1939, d 4-21-2000) at Homestead AFB, Florida, stayed married to her for most of his life, and his children included Jacque M. Barzelogna Thomas and Kristie L. Barzelogna Turner. His siblings included Robert Barzelogna (a USMCR and USAF Cold War/ Cuban Missile Crisis/ Vietnam Veteran, b - 1-28-1935 d - 6-13-2014), Richard D. Barzelogna (a Teamster Vice President, b - 6-7-1938, d - 1-2015) and Barbara A. Barzelogna Humphrey (b - 9-30-1940). He loved fishing for muskie and pike on the Great Lakes, ice fished when only the fanatical few who loved the sport past the limits of sanity would go, and often fished and crabbed with his father during his visits to Florida. Jack Barzelogna had a unique, dry sense of humor that I always found enjoyable. One of his nephews asked him once, during one of his visits to Florida, "Uncle Jack, where will we go fishing tomorrow?" Uncle Jack responded, "In the water, you bone head. We won't catch very many fish on the land." Uncle Jack once asked me how my health was, if I had any serious injuries, etc. I took it he was simply being a good uncle & responded that I was healthy as a horse, no serious injuries, and he stated with a sarcastic grin, knowing I had walked into a verbal trap, "I'm damn glad! You stay healthy, don't get hurt and live a long, long time. If anything happens to you, I'll be the ugliest SOB in the Family!" Uncle Jack's sense of humor was extremely unique & even when I was the target, I found it enjoyable. His favorite nephew was undoubtedly Cpl Mark R. Humphrey (USMC Cold War veteran, b 12-2-1961, d 3-6-2008). He finished Chef School in New Orleans circa 1972, and demonstrated enormous talent in a kitchen during his visit to his father's home in 1973. The last time I saw Jack Barzelogna alive, he was sitting at the table in his neice's home in St John's Park, Florida, cleaning shrimp, cutting up and enjoying his company. He looked ill and seemed to have lost weight, and I later found out he was in a hard battle with lung cancer. He was an American Red Cross Volunteer. When Jack Barzelogna passed away, he left 3 siblings, 2 daughters, many neices and nephews, 3 granddaughters and 1 grandson with numerous wonderful memories. It was unfortunate that I never got to spend much time around Jack Barzelogna (I can only remember seeing Uncle Jack 4 times), but the times that I was around him were fun, humorous and precious. God bless you, Uncle Jack. I'll never forget you.

Tax sale is town's 1st in 5 years
Tax sale is town's 1st in 5 years
WESTERLY — About 200 properties are currently subject to a tax sale planned for Nov. 19. If the owners do not pay their overdue taxes or make payment plan arrangements with the town, the properties will go up for bid; the tax sale will be the town's first in more than five years.
Since the Finance Department started working on the tax sale in April, there have been 399 accounts with past due taxes that totaled $1.4 million. Since April, payment of $553,460 has been made to meet the obligations of 130 of the overdue accounts, Finance Director James Lathrop said. Additionally, the town entered into 61 new installment agreements for a total of $356,960.
The town's goal with installment agreements is to have taxes current in one year. The length of agreements is limited to two years. Interest continues to accrue under installment plans and participants must pay current and future taxes on time.
"It is not the intent of the revenue office to hurt any business or individual," Lathrop said, explaining the town's willingness to work with those who have fallen behind on their taxes.
In the future, Lathrop said, tax sales will be conducted annually. "Towns that have annual tax sales have collection rates that are that much higher," he said.
Interim Town Manager Michelle Buck said the establishment of tax sales "demonstrates a commitment on behalf of the town to make sure every avenue of collection is explored and enforced."
Taxpayers can become delinquent for a number of reasons, including financial hardship or forgetfulness. Some owners never receive a bill. This year about 200 tax bills were returned to the town as undeliverable, Lathrop said. Most of the returned bills were for property owners who live out of state.
According to Lathrop, the town's tax collection rate has decreased from 99 percent to 96 percent since the last tax sale. Since the town budget is based on estimated tax collections, increasing the collection rate leads to lower taxes overall, he said.
Lathrop, who has worked for the town for just over two years, said he could not comment on why the town has not conducted a tax sale in more than five years.
"Many organizations put so much focus on expenses and how money is spent, they fail to focus on revenues. Sometimes it is easier to find an extra $1 million in revenue than to find $1 million to cut. The Finance Department has been introducing a new way of thinking to address issues," Lathrop said.
Under Lathrop's guidance, the town has also been focused on increasing collection rates for motor vehicle taxes. Acting Tax Collector Kathy Damicis and Julie Ruisi, who works with Damicis, have been heading up the project, which collected $1.8 million in past due motor vehicle taxes last fiscal year and has collected close to $900,000 overdue in the new fiscal year.
RI Tax Titles LLC of Lincoln has been hired by the town to assist with the tax sale. The company's fees are added to the overdue taxes and paid by the property owner or winning bidders. The town is not charged by the company, Lathrop said.
The first formal notice of the tax sale will be published Oct. 28. The notice will include a list of the properties and their owners. Three other advertisements will be published.
On the day of the sale, buyers must pay all overdue taxes and related costs. Buyers receive a collector's deed, which positions the holder to take title to the property through a foreclosure process carried out in Superior Court. The only liens that survive foreclosures are those filed by governmental agencies for environmental problems, or by the Internal Revenue Service liens if the IRS was not properly notified of the imminent tax sale. Buyers are responsible for special assessments such as those imposed by fire districts, but those assessments are not included in the tax sale price.
Property owners may redeem their property by paying the sum for which the property was purchased, plus a penalty of 10 percent of the purchase price if redeemed within six months after the sale, an additional 1 percent of the purchase price for each succeeding month, together with any intervening taxes and interest of 1 percent per month. Properties may be redeemed until foreclosure proceedings are started.

Electrical monitoring & analysis…Multi-Function Transient Recorders Deliver Over And Over
Kathy | September 1, 2007
Want more longer-term data for multiple users from less equipment? The benefits are big. The payback is real.
In the never-ending drive to get more from less, electric utility engineers are continually looking for ways to obtain more information from fewer pieces of equipment. To support those needs, innovative vendors are providing utilities and electric power users with devices that have greater capabilities at lower cost than earlier generation equipment. Transient recorders are one way manufacturers have expanded functionality well beyond simple electronic oscillographs.
As shown in Fig. 1, in addition to traditional sinusoid recording (for seconds of data), modern transient recorders provide long-term recording for power swings (for several minutes), continuous recording of minimal resolution of data (for days) power quality data, steady-state loggers (for weeks or months), power quality data, fault location and information for scheduling breaker maintenance.
Sinusoid data has been used for years as a tool for verifying the operation of the overall protection scheme from the PTs, CTs and relay to the breakers and carrier signals. Providing details on faults not only enables the protection engineers to detect faulty settings, relay algorithm problems, failed hardware and other issues to minimize time to investigate problems but also provide documented data for legal and regulatory requirements.
Demand for more data
Since the widespread power outages in the western United States in the midto- late-1990s, and, more recently, the August 2003 blackout in the Northeast, there has been an intense focus on the need for longer-term data. This has been reinforced with new requirements from NERC that calls for Dynamic Disturbance Recorders (DDRs) at select locations on the power system.
Since recording sinusoid data for multiple minutes would create files >10Mbytes, a method was needed to store power system data at reasonable speeds without sacrificing the information available from the data. Some systems limit the number of channels or calculated values that are stored for disturbance records. An excellent balance, however, can be obtained by storing subcycle phasor data on every channel along with RMS (or DC for appropriate signals) and a frequency channel. By storing triggered data at a 100 or 120Hz rate, slower phenomena such as power and frequency swings in the 0.3–15Hz oscillation range, out-of-step conditions, generator start up and other slower, longer-term problems can be diagnosed.
This type of information also can be useful in analyzing issues associated with large motor starts and other large load changes. Moreover, it can be very useful at generating plants where problems can take several minutes to grow to the point of causing a plant trip or other serious issue. Recording a disturbance record with the faster transient record is a good compromise for less powerful systems. But, to get the most out of such recorders, it is best to have dedicated triggers that focus on these slower phenomena. By offering triggers over a variety of bands with dedicated time constants, the system is able to differentiate between a real problem and the normal oscillations that occur every day.
The more advanced systems also take this a step further by storing the phasor data at a 25- or 30-Hz data rate continuously. This provides lower resolution data for distant faults that don't trigger recorders or where triggers were misapplied. One possible drawback to this is the volume of memory needed at the recorder. In a 32-analog channel system, storing the RMS, phasor magnitude and angle and two frequency values requires 6Gb of storage for two weeks' worth of data. This is easily accomplished using modern hard drives integral to the recorder. However, streaming this type of data to an external device requires a dedicated, reliable communication link that typically cannot be used for other systems without compromising this primary function.
Expanding capabilities
Another function available in the new generation of recorders allows them to be used as circular chart recorder replacements. Most substations had the old pen-based circular recorders that required monthly paper replacement and annual pen replacement. Typically, these provided a 15-minute average value of bus voltages for regulatory compliance requirements, were very labor intensive and of little value beyond steady-state values.
Newer systems are able to compute and store RMS values for not only the bus voltages, but the line currents, too. With the large capacity memories available now, storing 52 weeks of a 1-minute minimum, maximum and average value is a simple process. This provides superior resolution, more details beyond just steady-state values (max and min), and files can be analyzed via computer programs to compute the total time the system is operating within prescribed limits such as EN 61000-4-30.
In addition to computing steady-state RMS levels, the system frequency also can be recorded in the same type of long-term steady-state format. This can be used to replace strip chart recorders in control rooms at generating plants or control centers. Additionally, this information (frequency, Irms, Vrms, digital input status) is available on communication ports in industrystandard protocols such as DNP, reducing or eliminating the need for RTUs at some locations.
The new systems even provide the capability to create and use phase groups and line groups to compute a variety of parameters internal to the recorder. From phase groups, positive, zero and negative sequence values are computed, and voltage unbalance obtained. Combining a current phase group and a voltage phase group then provides the capability to compute Watts, VARs, Volt- Amps and power factor. These values are then used for triggering and logging steady-state values. This provides an overall measure of system loading and capacity for growth.
Driving forces
Over the past 15 years, there has been an explosion in the use of switch-mode power supplies in everything from PC and consumer electronics to PLCs and other types of industrial controllers. These, along with adjustable speed drives and many other devices, are creating an amount of harmonic pollution on the power system never before seen. To counter this problem, IEEE and EN have implemented limits on harmonic magnitudes at the point of common coupling (PCC). Some countries have taken this a step further and placed regulatory limits on harmonics at different voltage levels. Consequently, utilities need to know the level of harmonics present on the power system and where they are coming from.
"Flicker" is another phenomenon that has resurfaced after many decades of limited concern. This term originated from the way incandescent lights would "flicker" in intensity due to a modulation in the magnitude of the voltage. Human perception of flicker possibly could lead to headaches, reduced productivity and other personnel problems.
Caused by rapidly fluctuating loads, flicker is measured as an instantaneous, perceived short-term (Pst) and perceived long-term value (Plt). The Pst is a 10- minute value and the Pst is a 120-minute value that can be calculated from the Pst. As with other parameters noted above, some advanced fault recorders have the ability to compute and store a flicker value. Most use the IEC definition, which is based on 230V/50Hz and then interpolate the data to 115V/60Hz if necessary. Typically storing this on one set of voltages at a location is sufficient since this will propagate through transformers and affect an entire location.
Voltage unbalance is another parameter that can be computed and stored by advanced transient data recorders. Two different parameters can be calculated and stored—negative sequence unbalance and zero sequence unbalance. As the name would indicate, these are the ratio of the negative or zero sequence voltages to the positive sequence voltage measured as a percent (or fraction). These are excellent measures of the overall efficiency of the power system. Too high a value and there will be too many losses, costing the utility or consumer money.
Extended data reach
As with many IEDs in a substation, the modern oscillograph is monitoring a variety of signals that can be used for several different applications. An example of extending the digital transient recorder data to newer applications is breaker maintenance scheduling. By monitoring all 3-phase currents through the breaker and the A or B contact on the breaker, three critical parameters can be tracked in a database—total number of operations, duty and total current. Additionally, data can be presented to maintenance personnel showing the duration of fault current for each individual operation. This capability clearly can flag a problem, if there is fault current present for a longer time on 1 or 2 phases, indicating a stuck pole (or an evolving fault). By using an additional analog channel, the trip coil current also can be monitored for every operation. This gives an excellent indication of the travel-curve and acceleration within the breaker so deteriorating trends in the mechanical portion of the breaker can be acted upon before a catastrophic failure occurs.
Most utilities have used some form of fault location tied to the data from their oscillographs. Early methods consisted of using the current and voltage magnitudes from the recorded data and correlating those numbers to specific locations from their fault studies. The new systems provide distance-to-fault data automatically. By using line models and impedance-based algorithms, an actual fault resistance is calculated and distance computed. Now, without ever having to look at waveforms, this distance value can be obtained by the personnel who need it, but who may not be experts in analyzing oscillographs.
Enhancing competitiveness
In this era of deregulation, re-regulation and competition, having a variety of data collected for different reports is critical to efficiently operate the overall T&D system to attract and keep customers. By tracking voltage dips and surges over time, it is possible to identify circuits to invest in to improve performance and to show a before-and-after quality. One of the newest applications for power system data is recording or transmitting Synchrophasor data. This consists of using the 3-phase voltages and computing and precisely time-tagging the positive sequence phasor data. Using this data over a wide area, utilities are able to detect instabilities before they become a serious problem.
In conjunction with the Synchrophasor capability, the system must have the ability to accurately time tag this data to better than 30μsec. However, to decrease error due to time tagging, it is better to minimize this. The more advanced systems have time-synchronization accuracy in the range of 50–100 nanoseconds.
Independent of the Synchrophasor capability, the need to analyze data from a wide geographic area—as witnessed by the Northeast blackout—it is critical that all recording and reporting devices be synchronized. This requires some source of UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) for all these distributed devices. Most common today is the GPS clock. These clocks typically output an IRIGB or a pulse-per-second signal. With this technology, it is easy to ensure that all devices are synchronized to +/-1msec. Additional considerations are UTC, local time and daylight savings time. With the merger of utilities there are many systems that now span several time zones and it is best to keep all devices on the same time. Using UTC (formerly GMT) is an easy way to do this, but isn't instantly intuitive to operators and other personnel as they look at the time tags. Typical practice at most utilities has been to settle on leaving all devices on standard time—no adjustments for daylight savings time—and if across multiple time zones, they will choose one and keep it there.
For unmanned substations, the need for panel meters has been minimized. By taking advantage of the new technology in fault recorders and many other IEDs, they can be completely eliminated. With a laptop or PC, any analog input and many computed values can be displayed in real time either locally in the substation or remotely via modem or TCP/IP. RMS current and voltage, Watts, VARs and Volt-Amps and THD are just some of these parameters.
Not only do modern transient recorders communicate to vendor-specific software for traditional date transfers, they now can interface to SCADA systems using DNP3.0 or other standard protocols. Once again, this saves on space, equipment, installation and wiring costs, not to mention engineering and drafting time when designing a new substation. With such a powerful interface, analog values, digital status and frequency magnitudes are available in real time, eliminating the need for analog transducers and reducing channel counts on the RTU.
Capture the benefits
When all is said and done, a modern transient recorder not only complies with the latest requirements from NERC, it also provides data for a variety of functions that, in the past, were generally available only with discrete devices. For example, sales and marketing organizations can benefit from power quality and historical data to provide high levels of customer service and attract new businesses. Maintenance departments can use the data for optimizing breaker maintenance schedules, tree trimming or line upgrades and other regular tasks. Protection and relay engineers can use the traditional oscillograms to analyze faults and verify operations and line models, and use the newer disturbance data for stability analysis. Planning can use the data for load growth and equipment sizing. Additionally, the system can be an interface for SCADA personnel.
In summary, a modern transient recorder is a valuable tool that can replace several discrete devices. Its advanced support software provides answers, not just raw data. These systems, when tied to expert systems, provide a quick summary of all faults detailing the faulted circuit and phase(s), magnitude and duration of fault and what protection equipment operated. Location of faults, voltage quality information and data for optimally scheduling breaker maintenance are additional types of answers that are giving utility engineers more for less.

Logistic evolutionary product-unit neural networks: Innovation capacity of poor Guatemalan households
A new logistic regression algorithm based on evolutionary product-unit (PU) neural networks is used in this paper to determine the assets that influence the decision of poor households with respect to the cultivation of non-traditional crops (NTC) in the Guatemalan Highlands. In order to evaluate high-order covariate interactions, PUs were considered to be independent variables in product-unit neural networks (PUNN) analysing two different models either including the initial covariates (logistic regression by the product-unit and initial covariate model) or not (logistic regression by the product-unit model). Our results were compared with those obtained using a standard logistic regression model and allow us to interpret the most relevant household assets and their complex interactions when adopting NTC, in order to aid in the design of rural policies.

Fire Emblem: Awakening
Review by Ame_no_Murakumo
"Fire Emblem: Awakening Is An Amazing Game"
Fire Emblem: Awakening is a strategy RPG. I have been a fan of strategy RPGs most of my life, and in my opinion, the gameplay of FE: Awakening blows away every other SRPG out there. This is the first Fire Emblem I have ever owned, and it has been one of the best gaming purchases I have made. I have played one or two games in the series before, but I did not complete them. I am happy to have finally entered into this series, because I have found it to be pretty amazing so far. Anyway enough of my rambling, on to the review!
Graphics - 10/10
I love the art style. It is absolutely gorgeous. The graphics are well-drawn, and very detailed. The world is beautiful and vibrant, and skill effects are well done. The characters in particular are very well drawn, and each one is quite unique. One unusual thing about the graphics is in regard to the characters. They have no feet; only stubs. At first, I found it really off-putting, but it grew on me, and now I find it to add a lot to the overall charm of the game, of which it has a lot.
Music - 10/10
There needs to be great music for there to be a great game, and Fire Emblem: Awakening has some of the best music I've heard in a game in a long time. On the battle map, heroes and villains have their own theme that plays during their phase/turn. During an encounter, those same themes change in tempo and become very upbeat and intense. What's nice about this is, it doesn't stop and change to a different version, it just flows into the higher tempo version, allowing you to stay immersed.
Sound - 10/10
The sound effects, from sword clangs, spells, and the sound of a horse galloping on the ground, to the voices of all of the characters are near perfection. Each character's voice has plenty of emotion, be it anger, intensity, or joy. The battle quotes are very well done, but I will go in more detail on them in the gameplay part of the review, speaking of which...
Gameplay - 10/10
Being a strategy RPG, when you enter a battle map, you are given tiles where you can place your characters on. If you are unfamiliar with strategy RPGs, think of them like a bloody game of chess, minus certain pieces only being able to move in a diagonal, or what have you. On the battle map, you will sometimes find residences/villages to visit. Upon your visit, a villager will talk to you, usually thanking you for your help and will give you a useful item, like items sold for money, permanent stat boosting items, and weapons. Also found on the battle map are sparkly tiles. There are 2 sparkly tiles in every map, and when you stop on one, your character will find an item, or gain experience, or gain weapon experience.
Now onto weapons. Most weapons, save for a couple, have durability. Every attack uses up 1 durability, so always make sure you have enough weapons/durability before you head into battle. In Awakening, you create your Avatar, whom is a Tactician. You can customize his build, hair style, hair color, voice, name, birth date, good stat, and flawed stat. Fire Emblem: Awakening has many, many character classes (Tactician, Lord, Myrmidon, Sage, Cleric, Pegasus Knight, Wyvern Lord, and Griffon Rider just to name a few) with a variety of unique skills, some of which are very deadly. Next, onto skills.Two of my personal favorite skills are Astra, which performs 5 hits at half damage when triggered, and Aether - a two-hit attack; The first attack is the same as the Sol skill, and restores HP as you deal damage, and the second hit is the same as the Luna skill, ignoring half of the opponents defense and resistance.
A very nice feature is the ability to pair up your characters in battle for boosts to stats, as well as forming a bond between them. You can pair up on battle maps by moving one character onto a tile occupied by another character. By doing this, one character is strengthened, but you also have one less character on the map by doing so. You can switch who is the active character in the duo by bring up your action list and selecting Switch. By fighting as a pair, or just alongside each other in battle, you will see hearts appear over the characters after their skirmish is over, meaning they've become closer. The stronger the bond, indicated in the Support section of the menu with the letters C, B, A, and S, the better the stat boost in battle. Only a male and a female character can have an S ranked bond together, and once they've reached S, they will marry. The variety of conversations by the characters as their bond grows varies from heart-warming to absolutely hilarious, and sometimes awkward. At a certain point in the game, special chapters will become available based on marriages. In these special chapters, you save the child of one of those couples, and recruit them into your party. The children inherit the active skill in the last slot from the father, and one from the mother, as well as all of the classes the parents have available, aside from gender exclusive classes. For example, a father can't pass on a male-only class to his daughter, and so on.
There are well over 25 base characters, not to mention the large amount of DLC/Spotpass characters. DLC comes in the form of maps, with various rewards. Currently the US version only has 2 DLC maps, but more will be released weekly over the next few months. Spotpass is updated daily, with a new character from a specific Fire Emblem game each day, and sometimes other things, like powerful weapons. You must summon the character and their team to your world, and then move to where they appeared on your map and engage them. You will be given a list of things to do. You have the option to buy from them, which will make them disappear from your map (but you can just re-summon them again.), fight them, and if you win you have the opportunity to recruit the leader, or if you have enough money, simply pay them enough to join your party. Spotpass characters, when recruited, come at the level they are recruited at, but do not come with any items. Spotpass characters and DLC maps have no limit as to how often they can be used, so they are very good for building up your character's levels if you find yourself having a difficult time.
Story - 10/10
The story takes place in the Kingdom of Ylisse, where bandit attacks are happening all over the Kingdom. A man named Chrom seeks to stop these attacks, and then unforseen events begin to unfold.
If I haven't made it clear yet, I really love this game, and I give it a solid 10/10, and recommend it to everyone that enjoys a great, strategy RPG, great music, charming characters and a beautiful world.

I'm aware that the healing process after a Phenol Peel takes a while. However, 2 weeks after receiving Phenol Peel under my eyes and the skin is vey rough in patches. They're almost like tiny hard clusters of whelps. Is this just a part of the typical healing process or should I contact my doctor? If it is indeed typical, how long does this phase of healing usually last? I don't like covering the redness with makeup because it is extremely difficult to remove. Please help.
Rough Patches Normal After Phenol Peel?
Doctor Answers 2
Healing following a Phenol Peel
Healing depends on the depth of the peel and this is dependent on the concentration used to perform it. Usually a peel takes two weeks to resurface the treated areas and two to three months to regain its texture. The redness that follows a peel can take up to 6 months to fade. You are only two weeks post treatment. I would suggest you visit your treating physician and give yourself some time to heal.
Phenol Peel Recovery
The recovery from a phenol peel varies depending on the depth or penetration of the peel into the skin.
Most patients are resurfaced by 10-14 days. Redness after the peel can last for up to 2 months. Once again, the deeper the peel, the longer the redness.
The bumps you describe, should be looked at by your doctor to make sure they are not scarring. They may just be residual areas that have not completely resurfaced with new skin.
The coverup makeup is easier to remove once you are completely resurfaced.

The Lake Dallas school district recently finalized refinancing a portion of its bonds from its 2002 and 2004 series at a lower interest rate and saving taxpayer money.
At a school board meeting March 18, Wes Eversole, the district's deputy superintendent and chief financial officer, told members the bonds sold Feb. 27 at an interest rate of a little more than 2 percent. The district intends to save $3.2 million over the course of 24 years and about $131,000 annually as a result of the transaction, he said.
It's expected the district will begin accruing the savings next school year, according to district officials.

General guidelines
For the purposes of this article, I'm doing to use "disabled" to mean "finds it difficult or impossible to do things that someone might ordinarily expect a sex partner to be able to do". This is a very context-specific definition. I'm also going to use it as a blanket term for short-term, intermittent, and permanent disabilities. For more information on the language used around disabilities and the nuances of terms like "disabled person" vs. "person with disability", see the resources at the end of this article.
1. Be creative, and as mentally and physically flexible as you can manage. Identify the things you like about specific difficult activities, and then actively seek out substitutes.
2. Communicate a lot, in and out of bed. Make sure everyone involved has the same goals, the same ideas of what works and what doesn't, the same ideas of why the things that don't work aren't working, etc.
3. Do a lot of research, from reading books and websites to talking with other people in similar situations. Fetish sites can be astoundingly helpful: for every disability, there's someone who thinks it's super-hot, from deafness to amputation. If you can get over being unnerved at having inadvertently become someone's fetish object, reading or watching porn that features people like you can be a font of useful (or horrifying) ideas.
4. Remember that being disabled can be really exhausting, especially if you're learning to cope with a recent injury or change. The world is designed for the able-bodied and neurotypical; those who fall outside of "the norm" have to endure a daily struggle to compensate. Aside from all the specific situations discussed below, the single most likely effect of disability on your sex life is that the person with the disability will be too tired for sex. Respect this and allow for it.
5. Don't harm yourself in the pursuit of pleasing your lover. Advocate for yourself, and if you need to stop or there's something you're unable to do, say so. If your lover says "I can't", believe them, and always be prepared to look for workarounds or just call it a night and try again another time. Disabilities are real. Take them seriously.
6. Remember that disability can happen to anyone, at any time. About 80% of adults in the U.S. will be disabled at some point in their lives, and that statistic doesn't include temporary disability from injuries like twisting an ankle or breaking a finger. So even if this article isn't relevant to you now, it almost certainly will be someday, either when you become disabled or when you get involved with someone who is.
Physical disabilities
A lot of sex is about leverage, since that's what lets you thrust. Disabilities that affect your arms, legs, or back can seriously interfere with leverage. To compensate, use physics, specifically gravity, momentum, and friction. A sex swing can amplify your motions so that a little hip-wiggling goes a long way. Wedge-shaped pillows can help you find the easiest angle for minimally painful exertion. Somewhat counterintuitively, bondage can be very useful for getting recalcitrant limbs to behave or keeping them in the least painful position, and if it hurts when you move a certain way, forced immobility can be a blessing. (Standard precautions apply, and that goes double if you have any issues with circulation or nerve damage. Play carefully and safely.) Friction is also what keeps strap-ons strapped on.
If repetitive motion is a problem for you, as it is for many of us who spend too much time online, turn to machines, which are designed for repetitive motion. Fucking machines aren't perfect, but they can be useful substitutes if you're having trouble doing your own pistoning or drilling. You can even (cautiously) experiment with making your own. Vibrators, particularly ones you can wear, also have a myriad of uses.
Sensory and neurological disabilities and debilitating illnesses, such as deafness, fibromyalgia, and multiple sclerosis, are difficult to discuss broadly because there's such a range of ability and each individual's response to it is unique. The important thing here is to communicate clearly with your partner. Especially in the case of illness, there are going to be "good days" and "bad days"; flexibility is key.
Mental disabilities
It's almost taboo to talk about adults with mental disabilities having sex lives, because in this culture, they're frequently treated like children (even those who are perfectly capable of running their own lives) and seen as asexual and undesirable. Nonetheless, it's quite possible for them to want—and have—fulfilling and happy sex lives. This is just as true for people born with Down syndrome as it is for those who develop autism in childhood or dementia in old age.
Compensating for the effects of mental disabilities on sex life is a highly individual thing; as always, listen to your partner and advocate for yourself. If communication is difficult, look for writing-based solutions if you and your partners are comfortable with them. Text can be a memory aid, which becomes a sex aid as well once you start remembering to go on the dates you've scheduled. Text is also useful for making sure that everyone has the same understanding of what's going on, where problem areas are, and how to deal with them.
Psychological and emotional disabilities
Mental illness can be tremendously debilitating. In addition, many anti-depressants and other medications used to treat mental illness can cause impotence or other sexual side effects. As with any illness, there will be good days and bad days, and something that's helpful one day may be useless or distressing the next. Say it with me: listen to your partner, and advocate for yourself.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can frequently interfere with sex, especially if it stems from sexual abuse or assault, which many people have experienced in childhood or adulthood. Sexual trauma can lead to distress in sexual situations (as well as seemingly unrelated situations like being tickled). The most important thing to remember about PTSD is that specific situations or behaviors can trigger a reaction that treats the present situation as though it were something happening in the past. To avoid triggering PTSD reactions in a partner, use the "enthusiastic consent" model of sexual interaction: rather than assuming consent if your partner said yes once, or failed to say no, look for signs that your partner is actively and enthusiastically enjoying what you're doing. If you don't see those signs, stop and check in.
If you're getting involved with someone who has a physical or mental disability, keep in mind that they're at least twice as likely to have experienced sexual abuse as someone non-disabled, and that the abuse most often comes from someone who has or had power over them (such as a parent or caregiver). Since sex is highly emotional and there can be a very real sense of power disparity if one partner has a disability and another does not, be prepared for post-traumatic stress to affect your sexual interactions. That doesn't mean that you should handle your partner like they're made of glass, though. For most of us, what hasn't killed us has made us pretty damn strong.
Many people who have experienced sexual trauma find they enjoy giving or experiencing pain, bondage, domination, and other kink activities, up to and including replaying the traumatic event. If this seems like it might be helpful to you or your partner, consider discussing and exploring it.
This really just scratches the surface of all there is to say on this incredibly complex topic. Below are links to informational websites, downloadable guides, online communities, and books that relate to various intersections of sex and disability.

This is pretty random... and I've been busy with work and night school to pay much attention to the News, or politics, or anything else. But recent events let me observe something particularly important. I just wanted to get this out since for me... this is important. (it concerns food)
We are talking about Donuts. Yes. Donuts. Timmies donuts to be exact. The timmy donuts of Toronto that has been LYING to me for the past 2 years. Stating how delicious it is and posing false information how this powdery donut of goodness is FILLED with dodgy strawberry filling when it in fact, barely even has a teaspoon.
I recently went on a trip with Ina to Syracuse, New York and found a PB and J donut that OOOOZED of dodgy strawberry goodness. So my question is WHY? WHY are my Timmy donuts are posing as lies when I get awesome donuts in the USA?
So here we go forum members, may you be daily posters or just lovely lurkers. When you're no longer confused or have stopped laughing at my dilemma, tell me about the quality of the Tim Horton's in your area (if it applies to you). Do they lie about their products? Or is it still worthy of being called an unhealthy donut? I need to map out which Timmies to go to in case I travel about again.

I would liek to see more fuctionality with tables in the next release. Specifically, these are the things I would like to be able to do.
1. Place objects such as images and html code into a specific cell. I know you can set an image as a background, but that kills the ability to use "Alt" text.
2. The ability to build nested tables. They would make layouts a lot easier and give more consistent page presentation across browsers.
3. The ability to manipulate cell size through cell properites by entering a height and width value, sort of like how you can set the height and width on the page properties. This would end teh trying to drag the cell borders back and forth trying to get the table layout you want.

> Information on jawless fish
Information On Jawless Fish
What were the first jawless fish? What did they look like? How did they behave? How were they different from fish today?
The first fish evolved as many as 700 million years ago. They were jellyfish. These creatures didn't have brains, mouths, or spines. Then, some 500 million years ago, jawless fish were formed. These included lampreys and hagfishes that had backbones and brains but did not have jaws.
These fish didn't look like the fish we know today; they looked more like snakes. They had long slithery bodies. Some even had dorsal fins. They typically had eyes similarly placed on their bodies as snakes' eyes are, with gills and no scales. While these fish don't have jaws, that doesn't mean they can't eat. They have sharp teeth in their mouths. They attach their teeth to their prey and slowly eat their food. They rock their teeth back and forth and eat the creature's blood and flesh. These fish eventually evolved to more of today's common fish with jaws and wider bodies.
Some types of these fish still exist in some of the warmer waters across the globe. Some forms of lampreys and hagfish resemble some amphibians and have larval stages, during which time they feed on algae and other sea life. The larval phase typically lasts as long as three years, and the transformation takes about four or five months. They can grow up to two pounds in weight and can be as long as three feet. Adult jawless fish will eat other fish and creatures.
When these fish spawn, they find a shallow area where they clear away with their suction-like mouths and build a nest. Some hagfish, however, are believed to prefer deep waters in which to breed. The eggs of these creatures are usually fairly large and are formed in a tough outer casing. The male and females attach themselves to a rock in the water. The male wraps his body around her, and the pressure he creates helps release the eggs.
