Dunkin' Donuts is about as identifiable a New England brand as there is. So it's odd that two of its most forward-thinking stores are in St. Petersburg.
Last week, the company officially opened a new store at 1046 Fourth St. N in St. Petersburg. It's the chain's second "green" restaurant; the first was the store at 7595 Fourth St., which opened in 2008.
Both stores employ a range of eco-friendly initiatives, including LED lighting, energy-efficient building materials, recycled water for landscaping and a program to share used coffee grounds with local farmers for composting. The new store goes a step further by adding the company's first-ever electric car charging station, in addition to new features like a "grab and go" display near the registers, with healthier snacks such as fruit cups, Greek yogurt and string cheese.
At the grand opening, we talked to Nigel Travis, the president of Dunkin' Donuts and CEO of Dunkin' Brands, about St. Pete's ultra-modern stores.
How did St. Petersburg become Dunkin' Donuts' primary testing ground for green products?
It was an initiative between the local franchisee and the local community. I think the (City) Council had this green approach, and our franchisees were interested in working with it.
How closely have you followed the progress of the other green store up the street?
I wouldn't say I've followed it day by day, but I've been there. I've heard that it continues to do great things. They've evolved that store into this store, and the learnings have been passed on. It's been discussed many times in different meetings, but we've been really focusing on not necessarily the business results, but more the environmental aspects.
Is there a thing that you've learned from that store that you've tried to adapt or replicate in other stores?
The LED lighting saves money. Don't ask me how, but it does. This store is going to save 100,000 gallons of water per year. It basically captures all the rainwater and the air-conditioning water and recycles it through the landscaping. That's been powerful. I think one thing they're trying to build in more and more stores is the foam inside the concrete walls. That, particularly in areas like this, keeps all the energy inside. What they're trying to do with the second store is find new areas for us to go in, like the mobile charging station. I think we will continue to evolve from this.
What about this store are you going to be most interested in going forward?
I'm interested in the (vehicle) charging station. If you go back 10 years, WiFi was getting into a few restaurants. It's kind of standard now. Charging stations, will they be standard in 10 years? Will the world actually turn that far that everyone needs charging stations? And I'll be fascinated by the grab-and-go and front-case merchandising, because Dunkin', for years, has all been back-case. I'll be very interested in that.
In that 10 years' time, how do you see Dunkin' Donuts' menu evolving?
I think we'll still be selling a lot of doughnuts. I think we'll be even stronger in our beverages, because that's continued to grow steadily over time. I think our breakfast sandwiches, which have been a huge success the last two years, will have gone even further. We'll continue to test things. We have more ideas than we can cope with.

The Fla GOP's nebulous, pointless question for Charlie Crist
The Republican party of Florida has been sending out a bunch of news releases in recent weeks demanding to know where Charlie Crist, Nan Rich and Alex sink stand on Rick Scott's vow to cut another $500-million in taxes. But how does one answer that question withough Gov. Scott explaining what taxes and how he'll pay for them? Everyone likes the idea of cutting $500-million in taxes until the details come out. Does he propose cutting cigarette taxes or vehicle registration fees (both raised under Crist)? What if only select businesses see a tax cut, while budgets for child protection services take a hit?
For reporters, the first question is what is Scott's tax-cutting plan. The next question is does Crist and/or Rich support or oppose it.
Today, the Florida GOP rolled out an old ad Crist and the GOP used against Jim Davis in the 2006 governor's race. The ad bashes Davis as a liberal tax raiser while noting that Crist wanted to double the homestead exemption, supports the sales tax holiday and fights price gougers and utility companies. Crist may be a Democrat today, but there's zero evidence so far that he's backing away with any of those populist tax and consumer policies that he campaigned on as a Republican in 2006.

The Spectrum girls picked up their fourth straight win 53-46 over Minneapolis Edison at home Monday evening.
Senior guard Rachel Stevenson led with 24 points, cashing 9-of-10 at the line and two 3-pointers. Sophomore center Noelle Diekman scored 11. Kassidi Robbins hit a pair of 3-pointers.
"Tonight we got a little sloppy, but I think we have been playing pretty well lately," said coach Lenny Sedlock. "Our win over St. Croix Prep (52-42 on Wednesday) was the best game we've played since the program started three years ago."
Senior center Tatyana Owens scored 15 points for Edison (3-13).
The Sting (10-5) have a busy week, as this was the first of four games in six days. They will host St. Paul Harding on Wednesday, play at Minneapolis Henry on Friday and host Hope Academy on Saturday.
Sting scoring — Rachel Stevenson 21, Noelle Diekman 12, Brynn Bozich 6, Kassidi Robbins 6, Rachel Goldsmith 4, Katelynn Bozich 2, Marcie Burns 2

Bid to cut charges could boost pensions by £2,000
MILLIONS of workers could enjoy an 18 per cent boost to their pension pots if changes to the new auto-enrolment pension scheme did a better job of protecting existing savings, it was claimed yesterday.
The average £11,900-a-year retirement income of a couple would increase by £2,142 if all the separate pots of money from previous jobs could be transferred into the new scheme, cutting charges.
A single man would get £1,530 more and a single woman £1,062.
By the time the Government's flagship auto-enrolment initiative is rolled out nationally in 2018, there could be as many as 50 million small pension pots, many of them forgotten and abandoned as the people who opened them moved jobs.
Ministers' proposals for dealing with the problem is currently "pot follows member" which means that every time someone changes their workplace their savings are automatically transferred to their new employer's pension scheme.
But the weakness is that only one pot will follow workers into the auto-enrolment scheme, economist Michael Johnson warned.
The only savings cache to move will be the one opened during the employee's last job, and if there are two or three before that they will not be "rolled up" into the new scheme.
Automatic consolidation would help deliver economies of scale to the saver, and lower welfare costs as pensioners will need less State help, said Mr Johnson.
His report, published by the Centre for Policy Studies, found £2trillion in pension assets split between shares, bonds property and cash.
The charges associated with each category could be cut by between 0.35 per cent and 0.75 per year, according to Mr Johnson. A cut at the lower end of the scale would release £7billion a year to pump into pension pots, while slashing charges at the top would amount to £15billion. For someone saving for a pension over 30 years, an extra 0.55 per cent per year (the mid-point in the estimate of cost savings) leads to a pension 18 per cent bigger.
He argues that "aggregation" of pensions – the pot formed by the combination of several – coupled with a central clearing house and database, has the potential to achieve far more than allowing a single pot to follow a scheme member.
Dean Mirfin, group director at Key Retirement Solutions, said: "Pension firms offer better rates on bigger funds so savers will be in a much stronger position when they shop around.
Pension firms offer better rates on bigger funds so savers will be in a much stronger position when they shop around
"Currently providers do remind people when they are buying an annuity that if they have a number of pension pots they can get a better deal by putting them all together. But by then it is too late." Last year the National Association of Pension Funds supported an "aggregator" scheme after calculating that an employee on half-average earnings saving for 45 years would have a pension of £82,000.
Yet under the "pot follows member" scheme, those savings could drop to £61,000 due to high fees and variable investment returns. Steve Wilkie, of retirement specialist Responsible Life, said: "Filling in a few forms to aggregate multiple pension pots would be a small price to pay if it added £1,000 on to your annual retirement income."
The Department for Work and Pensions said: "Our priority is to implement an automatic transfer system which gives people the confidence of knowing their pension savings are consolidating in their current workplace pension when they move jobs rather than languishing in separate pots for years.
"'Pot follows member' is the best way to achieve that."

Hi folks,
If you live in the Canberra areas then get along next Tuesday to the May meeting of the Canberra Windows Infrastructure Group. This months session is on the Infrastructure Optimisation Model. Dave is taking a break from technology speak this month and talking about process. Check out the details below!
Microsoft Infrastructure Optimization Journey
According to analysts, more than 70 percent of a typical IT budget is spent on infrastructure, such as servers, operating systems, storage and networking. Add to this the need to refresh and manage desktop and mobile devices and you have a unique set of challenges for IT infrastructure to face.
The Canberra Windows User Group is an Infrastructure Group so it occurred to us that a journey through the Infrastructure Optimization Model could provide a structure for the next twelve months of user group topics and help us build improvement into the infrastructure we design, deploy and maintain.
The Infrastructure Optimization Model from Microsoft helps customers understand and subsequently improve the current state of their IT infrastructure and what that means in terms of cost, security risk, and operational agility.
The Session will define the States:
· Basic: "We Fight Fires"
· Standardized: "We're Gaining Control"
· Rationalized: "We Enable Business"
· Dynamic: "We're a Strategic Asset"
The Dynamic Systems Initiative could be a whole new Series but we might not be there for a while.
We hope to build a virtual Infrastructure we can extend each month as we move closer to the
Sessions will cover Infrastructure components or Practice and Procedures to move through each State in the model, topics such as Microsoft Operations Framework (MOF) / ITIL will be covered as well as Infrastructure Items like Exchange and ISA Server through to the System Center Management components.
This will be a big year and we hope to learn as much as we teach.
As usual Numbers by 8th May 2006
Group runs Tuesday 9th May 2006
Microsoft Canberra Office
Level 2, 44 Sydney Ave Barton
RSVP firstname.lastname@example.com
Two Sessions 16:00 – 17:30 and 18:00 – 19:30
Both sessions meet together @ 17:30 for Pizza and refreshments

Michael Cera to Play Yet Another Awkward Teen
Clearly, I'm not the only one who can't seem to get enough of the gawky, geeky Michael Cera. I recently interviewed the hilarious young actor and learned all about his experiences working on the upcoming bawdy teen comedy Superbad. Now, there's another one on Cera's horizon — this time based on the C.D. Payne novel Youth in Revolt.
As ComingSoon describes it, "The story revolves around the adventures of a teenager who meets the girl of his dreams while on a family vacation and turns his life upside down in order to be with her. Payne self-published the novel in 1993. The book, centered on a cynical and sex-obsessed 14-year-old, became an underground success, and he wrote three sequels."
Since I haven't (yet) read this novel, I'm relying on Cinematical's gushy, zealous ravings about both the book and the decision to cast Michael Cera. Of the news, Cinematical's Erik Davis has a lot to say, but mostly he urges everyone to read the novel right now: "I swear to you, this thing will have you in stitches by page 20, and when you're done you'll be itching to share the experience with someone else." Well, alright then.

I would like to give my opinion on the June 4 AFP-JIJI article "Hey kids, keep it down — graying Japan annoyed by children's noise": I am a Japanese-language consultant who has visited Japan five times and been in regular touch with Japanese for 18 years. I keep getting information about concerns that the number of children is decreasing while the number of older people rise.
I feel that society needs to respect both the older and younger generations. The older generation must be patient enough to let the younger mind develop with freedom.
If we restrict the freedom of children's voices, it will hamper their growth. To encourage people to go for parenthood, society must encourage them in all aspects.
I feel that by becoming patient toward children, their sounds will makes us patient in other areas as well. Children all over the world are considered flowers that bloom to make this world beautiful. We must love children whether they are our own or our neighbors', whether they're on the street or underprivileged.
Children are going to build the future. Suppressing them makes them aggressive and introverted, which is more dangerous for society. The older generation should become more patient with children and start becoming friends with them. I apologize if these comments hurt the feelings of any elderly person.
The opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are the writer's own and do not necessarily reflect the policies of The Japan Times.

'Hannibal' Series Premiere, 'Aperitif': TV Recap
Someone is abducting young women in Minnesota. Eight have been taken so far, and they all look very similar. But why? What does their abductor and probable killer want with them? What need do they fulfill?
To find out, the FBI's behavioral science division chief, Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne), turns to Will Graham (Hugh Dancy), a lecturer at the FBI academy who specializes in making in-depth profiles of killers. Graham is gifted (or cursed, depending on how you see it) with pure empathy, meaning he can put himself in the point of view of a killer, depending only on the evidence at hand. Instead of just telling us about it, though, NBC's gory new prequel series "Hannibal" immerses the audience in Graham's talent with some nifty-looking effects. It also helps that Dancy plays Graham as a man perpetually on the edge of psychological collapse and uneasy in social situations. His only solace, it appears, comes from rescuing and keeping stray dogs.

LOS ANGELES -- More than 500 Southern California residents have been evacuated as a large brush fire continues to grow.
The fast-moving fire has already burned through 1,500 acres and continues to be stoked by high winds and dry conditions.
The wildfire broke out about 90 miles east of Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon and is sweeping through mostly undeveloped foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains.
Residents in subdivisions of nearby Banning are being evacuated. One home was already destroyed in the fire. Authorities said a 200-unit mobile home park in Cherry Valley had been cleared.
More than 400 firefighters have been battling the flames since noon. Six helicopters and six air tankers were making water drops.
The state agency Cal Fire reported that the fire was 30 percent contained just before 7 p.m. (10 p.m. ET) Wednesday.
The National Weather Service said a red flag warning was in effect until Friday evening.

Behind the Images - Biofuels
The Energy Biosciences Institute (EBI) at UC Berkeley conducts research on potential biofuels crops, including the perennial grasses Miscanthus and switchgrass. EBI is a research and development organization that harnesses advanced knowledge in biology, the physical sciences, engineering, and environmental and social sciences to devise viable solutions to global energy challenges and reduce the impact of fossil fuels to global warming. As the world's first research institution solely dedicated to the new field of energy bioscience, the EBI is focusing on the development of next-generation biofuels as well as various applications of biology to the energy sector.
"Our mission is to harness the potential of bioenergy, to make discoveries and commercialize realities out of these, which could benefit the world," says Institute Director Dr. Chris Somerville, who leads a team of top researchers affiliated with the EBI, a partnership between BP, UC Berkeley; the Berkeley Lab; and the University of Illinois. "We can see the end of the fossil fuels era. If we take account of the need to move from fossil to renewable fuels to slow impacts on our atmosphere then it's coming sooner rather than later." Somerville notes. He emphasizes, though, that the Institute's objective is even broader. Its scientists also are probing the social, economic and environmental implications of using plants for a sizable portion of the earth's energy needs.

text: Hi All, I've been reading up (i.e., Steve Anchell's book: The Variable Contrast Printing Manual, copyright 1997) on determining the relative printing speed between the filters in my Kodak Polymax filter set (I use PolymaxII paper). I have noticed that there are some wierd differences between the some filters, most notibly between grade 2 and 3 filters; meaning, that there seems to be a much greater difference in the progression of contrast between 2 and 3 than between other grades. So, I'm wondering if any of you have ever performed such a test as he begins to describe on page 45 of that book (if you have it to refer to)? I'm referring to the "Filter Exposure Factor" chart that he recommends for quick exposure calculations when changing between filters. If I'm reading this correctly, then a successful development of that chart will provide me with the means to correctly speed match my filters for the enlarger/light source that I'm using (Omega B-8 with an Aristo cold light, v-54 lamp). If any of you have done this test, is there anything that you can tell me to be careful of, or otherwise help me make sure that I don't waste a lot of paper in the process trying this test. Thanks for any helpful comments.

While aftermarket FAA-approved aircraft parts made by companies holding FAA Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) are common in the U.S., there is no PMA equivalent for companies in the rest of the world that want to manufacture aircraft parts outside the sanction of OEMs. Jason Dickstein, president of the Modification and Replacement Parts Association (Marpa), recently met with EASA officials to discuss European support for aftermarket parts manufacturing. According to Marpa, EASA had considered creating new rules to allow PMA-like manufacturing in Europe, but "this idea has been abandoned in favor of working within the existing regulatory framework." A stumbling block, however, is that current EASA rules appear to require recertification of the entire aircraft for any kind of aftermarket-manufactured part, even if that part has no effect on most systems or airworthiness of the aircraft, according to Marpa. However, the EASA is looking at guidance that would interpret existing regulations to allow a more reasonable way of proving that an aftermarket part is safe. "We had a productive discussion with EASA, and we are looking forward to continuing our discussions," Dickstein reported.

D.C. mayor Vincent Gray under pressure over Va. power plant
WASHINGTON (AP) - An environmental organization is calling on D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray to file a special petition with the Environmental Protection Agency that would put a power plant in Alexandria, Va., on track to close.
The Sierra Club recently met with residents in southeast Washington to warn them about the dangers of the sulfur dioxide being blown across the river from the Potomac River Generating Station. The Washington Examiner reports that the mayor's office has no immediate plans to petition the EPA, as officials are determining how much shutting down the plant would hurt the city's power supply.
GenOn Energy, which owns the plant, says it complies with all state sulfur dioxide regulations. The EPA says sulfur dioxide is linked with a number of adverse effects on the respiratory system.

Kurmanbek Bakiyev (second from the left) and Janysh Bakiyev (second from the right) diring Kyrgyz Riots in 2010.
The persons noticed together with Kyrgyzstan ex-president Kurmambek Bakiyev's brother Janysh Bakiyev in Minsk are searched by international police for assassination of ex-head of Kyrgyz Presidential Administration Medet Sadyrkulov, the head of the International Institute for Strategic Studies Sergei Slepchenko and their driver Kubat Sulaimanov, Kyrgyz police reported.
According to Kyrgyz criminal search department, the persons captured on photos are Janysh Bakiyev, Rustam Saideev and Tahir Rasaliyev.
The shot was made in Minsk's centre, near an expensive cafe that is situated next to the Presidential Administration of Belarus.
The three persons are internationally searched by police for a triple murder.
"The administration of Kyrgyz Interior Ministry has put an enquiry on the location of the three person to the law enforcement agencies of Belarus for several times already, but in their responses it was noted they did not possess such information," Kyrgyz police representatives noted.
On the eve of the incident the Ambassador of Belarus to Kyrgyzstan was summoned to the
Kyrgyz FM where he was given a verbal note.
The personnel of the cafe where Bakiyev was noticed told Salidarnasc he sometimes drops in at a cafe.
However, a man following him was called a more frequent customer. In accordance with their words, Bakiyev is usually escorted by several males.
Current Kyrgyzstan President Almazbek Atahbayev calls Janybek (Janysh) Bakiyev "a dreadful man".
According to Mr. Atahbayev, Janysh was in control of shooting demonstrators in April, 2010. Furthermore, he ordered shooters to aim at protesters' heads and chests.
During the Kyrgyz Riots in 2010 around 90 persons were killed, 1,500 were injured. However they managed to occupy the governmental residence.
President Bakiyev, his younger son Marat and his brother Janysh Bakiyev — the then head of the State Security Service — had already left the country.
They were charged of mass murders and abuse of authority in absentia and are internationally searched.
Kurmanbek Bakiyev arrived in Belarus on Lukashenka's invitation on April 19, 2010.
The Prosecutor General's Office of Kyrgyzstan has twice requested to extradite ex-president to Kyrgyzstan, but the request was not satisfied.
The head of Kyrgyz State Security Service Keneshbek Dushabayev said on October 17, 2011, Kurmanbek Bakiyev was given the status of political refugee in Belarus. However, Belarus' interior ministry does not reveal the status of
Kyrgyzstan overthrown president.
The presence of Janysh Bakiyev in Minsk wasn't also confirmed.

Have you ever got really bad or nearly uncontrollable panic attacks from time to time? Do you know meditation can help you reduce the pain in many ways?
Meditation – the dictionary defines it as "continued or extended thought; reflection; contemplation."
It refreshes us, helps us settle into what's happening now, makes us wiser and gentler, helps us cope in a world that overloads us with information and communication and much more. But if you are still looking for a business case to justify spending time meditating, try this one: Meditation makes you more productive.
What Does It Mean In The Real Life?
In the modern daily life, due to many different reasons, often time we get overwhelmed that leads us into stress and tensions, eventually our health will get affected. Using meditation on a regular basis can give our mind a chance to quiet itself, adjust to the stresses and strains.
Meditation itself is simply the process of quieting our mind. Once you start to mediating, gradually, you will know your mind becomes calmer. The "chatter" that's often there becomes less and you start to move mentally to a more tranquil place.
Sometime, meditation is described as reaching a higher state of consciousness – this is because your mind is less cluttered and therefore you start to notice things that would ordinarily pass you by.
How To Start Meditating?
To start meditating, choose a time and a place where you will not get disturbed for the duration of the session. Here are the 3 tips for effect meditation practice.
When you are starting out, try to set aside 10 or 15 minutes for your meditation session first. After time being, you can increase the amount of time you spend in a meditative state.
If you can spare the time, your aim should be to have two 20 minutes meditation sessions each day. Good time to meditate is right after you wake up, before your mind is busy with thoughts and activities of the day. If you normally feel sluggish in the morning, and then take a look at your night time routine. There is no exact time that is best for everyone.
Research has shown that spending 20 minutes meditating leads to better health, it can help reduce the stresses and strains in a person's daily life.
Whatever works for you is good! Just make sure that you practice on a regular basis.
Where Is The Good Place For Meditating?
For the actual place where you decide to meditate is totally up to you. Some people set aside a room in their house as their meditation room but if you are just starting out, that is probably a bit too extreme.
You can meditate in your bedroom, the lounge, the kitchen or even in the garden, choose a place in your home that you can dedicate as your "seat". The exact place where you meditate doesn't really matter that much, it can be on a cushion on the floor or if that's uncomfortable, find a chair where you can sit upright and place both feet on the floor, the important thing is that you actually start practicing meditation.
If you find that the original place you chose isn't working for you, just change it, the same goes for the time and the method that you chose.
To achieve a peaceful state of mind takes practice and it takes time, and there is no question that patient is a key component of our progress through medication.

Marni Weaver from Haberdashery Fun designed these Quilted Heart Placemats just in time for February's heart-filled festivities! Her use of grays gives the project an unexpected twist. Of course you can go with a more traditional color scheme for upcoming Valentine's Day decorations if you wish. (You could even use shades of the color of the year!) Learn more about Marni in her introduction, and let us know if you create some of today's easy Quilted Heart Placemats for your own home this year.
Set the table for love! I have wanted to make quilted placemats for quite some time. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to make heart-shaped placemats.
My husband also inspired this project; he studied industrial design and is a big influence in my color and fabric choices. He loves simple and sleek color palettes, so I wanted to take a modern approach with our placemats.
Luckily, I had a few shades of grey jelly rolls in my fabric stash that were begging to be used. Our heart-shaped placemats came together as easy as 1, 2, 3!…
Here are the supplies needed to make two placemats:
- 1 jelly roll: use 9 strips
- 3 fat quarters: 2 for the backing and 1 to make bias binding
- Fusible batting
- Sewing machine
- Sewing supplies: scissors, thread, pins
- Rotary cutter, mat, ruler
- Paper and pen
- Iron and ironing board
- Quilt basting spray
Before we get started, you will need to draw your heart pattern. Pull out a plate you use often. This is for size reference and also to ensure you create the placemat large enough. I chose our fancy dinner plates and drew a heart within the following dimensions: 19″w x 17″h.
Let's start sewing!
Step 1: Decide on your color scheme. Undo the jelly roll and lay nine fabric strips in a row.
Step 2: Start at one end. Place two fabric strips right side together. Pin if needed. Place into sewing machine and sew along the long edge with a 1/4″ seam allowance. Press seam with an iron. Open seams and press again.
Step 3: Repeat Step 2 for the next two color strips. Repeat again, and sew all fabric strips together in sets of two. There will be one fabric strip left over.
Step 4: Lay fabric strips onto your work surface. Finish by sewing all sets together. Press all seams open.
Step 5: Lay the heart pattern on top of placemat top. Pin in place and cut out. Pin and cut the second heart. At the same time, cut your other fabric pieces: 2 hearts from the batting, 2 hearts from the fat quarters. Cut at least 45″ of bias binding.
Step 6: Place fusible batting on the wrong side of quilt top. Press.
Step 7: Sandwich the batting between the placemat top and the backing. Spray a small amount of quilt basting spray on the wrong side of the backing. Gently press in place.
Step 8: Place into sewing machine and quilt as desired.
Step 9: Using an iron, press the heart curves into the bias binding.
Step 10: Start at the bottom tip of the heart. Pin the bias binding in place, leaving a 1″ tail. Pin the bias binding around the entire heart. Fold and tuck the bias tape into itself when it meets at the base of curves. Fold and tuck into itself again when it meets at the tip. Place into sewing machine and edgestitch the binding in place.
That's it. Happy sewing, and Happy Valentine's Day!

I really like your place mats and your tutorial is very clear.
Thanks again for having me! It was a blast sewing the placemats.. I look forward to working with you again soon.
Cute and simple placemats – could get those done for Valentine's Day!
The placemat looks great! I've really been enjoying the color gray lately.

I was told I would need only ten trays to complete this.
My Gap Did Not Close All the Way After my Initial 10 Trays of Invisalign What Do I Do?
Doctor Answers 7
The Express case may not have been enough
Hi...I am so so sorry that this has happened in your case. Sometime the Express case does not do the trick and more aligners are needed to close the gap. Invsialign Clinchecks, or computer renditions, show how the teeth move and what the final outcome should look like. They usually are pretty accurate but it is difficult to predict 100% of the time that this is exactly what will happen. You probably needed a full case and the doctor thought the Express would work well for you. Unfortunately with the Express, Invisalign does not allow for midcourse corrections without charging you. Talk to your dentist and find out what your options are and then choose the best one so you are happy with your end result and the smile you wanted!
Gap did not close with completely with my initial 10 invisalign trays
The invisalign system will not work 100% of the time during the initial phase of treatment. After you have used the initial sets of trays your dentists or orthodontist can take new impressions and submit a refinement to invisalign to complete the necessary movements. If you only had 10 trays you may have had Invisalign Express which could potentially be a problem. Speak to your dentist and find out what your options are. Good luck
Lack of space closure with Invisalign
Good news-don't stress! Sometimes Invisalign tooth movements are not able to be completed due to a greater difficulty in tooth movement then the computer planning can predict. In these cases different types of attachments can be used to get greater movement or other modifications to treatment can be done to achieve optimum results. Therefore the Invisalign company has allowed for refinements to be done at no cost to patients. This is a great company that very much wants their clients to be satisfied, so talk to your dentist about a refinement series of trays and he can arrange things with Invisalign. New impressions and pictures will be needed to pick things up from your current position, but good results are definitely possible.

Gap closure with Invisalign braces.
If treatment was planned for only 10 aligners then likely this was an Express Case. If the gap did not close completely all it means is that there is a need for a couple more aligners. Best bet is to speak to your doctor and have him take a look at the gap and suggest the best course of action, additional aligners may be ordered.
Invisalign Express isn't enough
I find that Invisalign Express is 90 % of the time not enough to deliver an ideal smile with the proper results. Invisalign Express is limited in the sense that you only get a maximum of 10 trays to fix the case. While it is cheaper for the doctor and the paitent to use this method, I find most of the time the paitent is unsatisfied. I would discuss your options with your doctor, since the promised result was not delivered. The least expensive solution would be a circumferential retainer, which will close all the spaces on your upper teeth. The only potential problem would be in the interfernece this would cause with your lower teeth. Meaning, that if you close the upper space completely it could change your bite causing your upper incisors to hit your lower. If this is the case you will need another Express case or potentially a Full Invisalign case. Besides discussing your options with the doctor that did your treatment, you might want to get another opinion from a orthodontist.
Good Luck!
Dr. Jacquie :)
Invisalign computer renditions are estimations
As much as we would LOVE to have everything work as planned, nothing is 100% certain. The ClinCheck, the computer rendition of teeth as they are planned to be treated, is merely a guess (a very EDUCATED guess) on how teeth move. It is not unusual for teeth to NOT move as planned, so a "mid course correction" is done (new impressions and new aligners).
It sounds as if you did Invisalign Express, where 10 aligners or less are used. This is at a discounted fee, but comes with some risks. Invisalign regular allows mid course corrections at no charge, Invisalign Express does not.
It is likely more treatment is needed. More aligners, removable retainers, brackets and wires or porcelain veneers should be part of the discussion.

Speak with your Invisalign doctor
Hi- I would recommend speaking with your invisalign doctor. Sometimes the doctor will get more invisalign trays to close the space or sometimes he/she will use a retainer to close the little bit of remaining space. Please make sure you mention the open contact to your doctor.
These answers are for educational purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice you may receive from your physician. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. These answers do not constitute or initiate a patient/doctor relationship.

QU students help rebuild after Moore tornado
Thu, 15 Aug 2013 02:14:30 GMT —
In light of the EF-5 tornado that tore through Moore, Oklahoma, a group of Quincy University students decided to offer a helping hand.
QU Campus Ministries sent 28 students to Moore.
They aren't carpenters.
"I have painted before ... I have painted my room, I helped my dad out, but I am not professional or anything," participating Samantha Haegele said. But that didn't stop this group of 28 students from trekking to Moore to help rebuild.
Matt Meglan is in charge of coordinating the trips this group takes. He says trips like this one lead to many new friendships.
"The last night on these trips, I always tell everyone I know, you now. I get to come up to you and say hi to you. And that's at a school that's already extremely friendly and hospitable to everybody of all backgrounds," Meglan said.
A majority of QU's Women's volleyball team went on the trip to offer a hand. Team Captain Samantha Haegele says this helps bring the team closer.
"Even just today in practice, we could tell we were just clicking and you know, everyone was just comfortable with each other," Haegele said.
One of the most moving things that students say they saw was the memorial at Plaza Tower Elementary School.
"The thing that really hit me was when I saw the crosses of the six children and the teacher and they had little chairs next to them, and it's so real," Haegele remarked.
"There were still people from Moore at the memorial and were still mourning for the tragedy that happened there, and I think that was very moving for our students, and important for them to get that perspective," she explained.
With only two days of helping hands, the students managed to help restore a family's home to its fullest.
"They were very grateful, very happy, very hospitable, everything was taken care of when we went down there. They really enjoyed our presence, and we really enjoyed theirs," Meglan said.
The students worked with a group called "Operation Blessing" while in Moore.
The QU campus ministry already planned trips to New Orleans, Chicago and Mobile, Alabama.

Please note that the artists appearing may be subject to change.
Patrick Monahan
Winner of ITV's Show Me The Funny, this half-Iranian, half-Middlesborough comic is a rising star on the comedy circuit. Full of an insatiable lust for life, his exuberant comedy greets the audience like a sex-starved spaniel would greet a trouser leg.
In 2012 he took part in Let's Dance for Sports Relief on BBC, won Best Newcomer at the Loaded LAFTA Awards and Forth Radio Best Stand-Up People's Choice Award for his hit show 'Hug Me I Feel Good'. He played the role of the dastardly Captain Hook in 'The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan' at the Worthing Pavilion from December 2016 to early Jan 2017.
A natural-born performer, he exudes charisma from the stage (and often off it, when he scuttles into the crowd...!)
'High energy and conviction, his material is great; he's going to go far' (The Sunday Times)
'Omid Djalili meets Dave Allen' (Daily Mail)
'Monahan possesses the rare ability to be hilarious without being outrageous' (Three Weeks)
'The same mix of control and on-stage charisma as a young Alan Davies' (The Herald)
'Monahan is a supremely engaging performer, adored by his audiences and capable of some terrific comedy' (The Scotsman).
Patrick Monahan was placed in Ents24's top 5 hardest-working comedians 2016.
Patrick Monahan tour dates
Gareth Richards
Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nominee 2010, Gareth Richards is probably best known for his two years of co-hosting the Sony Gold Award winning Frank Skinner's Absolute Radio Show. In 2011 he completed a Soho Theatre run of his Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nominated show, Stand Up Between Song, and appeared on Russell Howard's Good News (BBC Three).
In 2010, he was placed in the top 10 of Dave's Funniest Joke of the Fringe. In 2008 Gareth was nominated for the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year Award, and later won a place as part of the Comedy Reserve.
Previously he was a finalist in the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year 2007 competition, and a runner-up in the finals of You Must Be Joking and the Amused Moose Laugh-Off.
'Gorgeously low-key, faintly surreal songs played on the Omnichord... A delightful hour of comedy' (The Guardian)
'He's a quietly clever craftsman with a big future' (Bruce Dessau, The Evening
'An effortlessly assured act... exceptionally inspired and truly memorable... His material has a delicious otherworldly quality' (Chortle).
Gareth Richards tour dates
'Mowten is a charming and engaging stand-up, funny and interesting, the kind of man who you could spend entire evenings with shooting the breeze in bonhomie.
His life is a fascinating one, from living in a cult to losing a massive inheritance, and he is a skilled storyteller, so go, sit back and enjoy the twists and turns that made Mowten' (The Fix 2007).
'Intelligent and warm and very very funny. Mowten is one of the most honest and fearless comics I have seen' (Shappi Khorsandi)
'Highly original and amusing' (Time Out)
'Mowten's an instantly likeable stand-up with bags of charm and an easy manner' (Chortle)
'A charismatic comedian, with a long future in stand up' (Three Weeks).

School pupils raised £300 for charities helping people with cancer by staging a lunchtime "Asian bazaar" event.
The occasion was arranged by members of South Craven School's year 10 student committee.
They were assisted by teacher Sultan Mahmood and sixth former Humera Shabir.
A school spokesman explained: "The hope was that the enterprise would help to teach students about cultural diversity and promote the understanding of other cultures.
"This is an important idea in today's world and in our school, where there are many students from different ethnic groups.
"With this in mind, the hall was filled with stalls, attended by students from years 10 and 13 from different ethnic backgrounds.
"Those selling curries, samosas, pakoras and kebabs attracted many takers!
"Other stalls offered henna painting by Sundus Hussain and Mariam Pervez, and there was an opportunity to try wearing a hijab and headscarves.
"The whole enterprise was very successful, and hopefully has got people thinking about cultures other than their own."

As a prosecutor and later a judge, Nicholas Kasimatis dealt with some of the most bizarre and gruesome criminal cases in San Diego. Day after day he was immersed in the gritty details of murders, molestations, kidnappings and fraud, but it was his sense of public duty that kept him going, said daughter Paula Kasimatis.
"He was very civic minded," she said.
Mr. Kasimatis died Jan. 9 of complications from congestive heart failure and kidney failure at his home in San Diego. He was 83.
As a trial attorney in the San Diego District Attorney's office from 1958 to 1983, Mr. Kasimatis was trusted with some of the most sensitive cases of the time.
"He was certainly one of the top trial attorneys during those years," said Chuck Patrick, a retired judge who also worked as a prosecutor with Mr. Kasimatis. "He was a very upright guy who never hesitated to speak up and stand for what he believed."
He was eventually appointed head of the District Attorney's Special Operations Division, which dealt with sensitive matters such as organized crime and political corruption.
"He had a lot of good judgment," said Richard Hanscom, a fellow prosecutor. This was particularly important because prosecutors often have to decide when to go forward with a case and when to drop charges, Hanscom said.
With more than two decades experience as a prosecutor, Mr. Kasimatis ran for an open Municipal Court judge position in 1982. He beat his opponent, Floyd Morrow, who had been a member of the San Diego City Council during the infamous Checker Cab scandal.
Mr. Kasimatis presided over a number of notable cases, such as a 1992 case in which he sentenced a supervisor in the County Department of Social Services to seven years in prison for organizing a scheme that sent more than $500,000 in fraudulent welfare checks to 18 associates.
Bonnie Dumanis, who at the time was a Superior Court referee hearing juvenile cases, was elected in 1994 to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Kasimatis's retirement.
One characteristic that set Mr. Kasimatis apart from most of his colleagues was his fluency in Spanish. He learned the language as a student in high school and college and made an effort to practice it regularly with other lawyers and judges who spoke Spanish. Mr. Kasimatis took several trips to Mexico, where he and other members of the California Judges Association met with Mexican judges and worked with them to develop a more open and transparent justice system.
Religion was important to Mr. Kasimatis. He was an active member of St. Therese Catholic Church since 1966. He donated generously to the church and to Whispering Winds, a Catholic family camp.
"He was somebody you could always depend on," said Anne Denbow, a family friend whose late husband helped start Whispering Winds.
He was also an early donor to International Relief Teams, a charity that trains and dispatches health workers to disaster areas around the world.
Mr. Kasimatis was born April 10, 1929 in San Pedro, Calif. His father had immigrated to the U.S. from Greece; his mother immigrated from Alsace. He graduated from San Pedro Senior High School in 1947 and earned a bachelor's degree in business from UCLA in 1951. He earned a law degree from UCLA in 1954.

Visitors flock to the Grand Strand for Christmas
Wed, 25 Dec 2013 01:57:44 GMT —
While some people have left the Palmetto state to visit families for Christmas, others have come to visit the Grand Strand.
"We have family members in the area so we came to visit them and then just came to the beach," Gloria Johnson of North Carolina said.
"I'm getting to be here with my mom and my step-dad. It's been a while since i've gotten to see them," Derrick Otter of Arizona said.
There was still a pretty nice size crowd of people out along Ocean Boulevard on Christmas Eve, although not as many as during the summer months.
"It's absolutely wonderful out here. I've been loving the weather, it's been really great," Otter said.
Some people even stepped foot on the Grand Strand for the first time this Christmas holiday.
"Never been to Myrtle Beach ever. So this is really nice to have a week down here together with my boys," Fannie Rivers of North Carolina said.
Rivers even had such a good time that she's already planning her next beach vacation.
"We were just discussing that. Coming back next year around this time of year where it's not crowded and you can get in and out of places and do stuff and have fun," Rivers said.
Some visitor center employees on Ocean Boulevard who say some of the area shows and attractions are still open on Christmas Day, so if you're in the area, feel free to stop by and buy some tickets.

Bumblebee nests
What bumblebees look for in a nest site
Nest sites vary between bumblebee species. Most of the more common species prefer dry, dark cavities and nests can turn up in a variety of unexpected places.
Some nest underground, in places such as abandoned rodent holes, under sheds and in compost heaps. Of those that nest above ground, some make nests in thick grass, while others make nests in bird boxes, lofts and in trees. One of the species which nests in bird boxes and lofts is the Tree bumblebee, Bombus hypnorum. With this species you may often see 'swarms' of bees flying around the nest (see the video at the bottom of this page). This is perfectly normal, and these are male bees, which often fly around nests, waiting for queens to come out so that they can mate. Male bees cannot sting, so please don't be alarmed if you see this.
When searching for a nest, the queen will investigate the environment using both sight and smell. When she finds a potentially suitable site she will investigate by going into the hole. If it proves unsuitable she will continue searching until she finds a nest site. The low-flying zig zag flight of a nest-site searching queen is seen in spring and is very distinctive.
In gardens, bumblebees tend to nest in relatively undisturbed areas such as shaded corners. Some will also nest under structures such as sheds. They do not like to nest in areas with prolonged exposure to the sun as this can heat the nest too much.
Bumblebee nests vary in size depending on the species and time of year. A well-established nest may contain up to 400 bees. Honeybee hives typically contain 50,000 bees so bumblebee nests are very small in comparison.
How do I provide nesting sites for bumblebees?
You can help bumblebees by providing them with somewhere to nest.
The first step of course is to provide lots of the right kinds of flowers in spring. At this time of year the nest-searching queen will be attracted to gardens where she can find plenty of food to help her produce her first batch of eggs. For information on the best flowers to plant for bumblebees, visit our Bee kind tool.
Once she is ready to lay, the queen will start looking for a nest site. She flies low over the ground in a zig-zag pattern, stopping to investigate holes in the ground, or piles of leaves.
We have teamed up with Hartley Botanic to create a guide to making bumblebee nests in your garden. Click here to download the guide (pdf, 2mb).
It can be quite difficult to encourage bumblebees to nest in a specific place - even specially designed nest boxes have limited success. However, here is a design to build a suitable nesting site in case you want to give it a go.
What you need:
- A flowerpot (> 20cm in diameter)
- A piece of slate/ tile
- A bit of tube or pipe
- Sink the upturned flower pot into the ground and use the slate/ tile to cover any drainage holes to keep the rain out.
- Run a hose or pipe underground to the pot, leaving a prominent entrance. Be sure to make drainage holes in the pipe.
- Finally, fill with a generous handful of nesting material, such as old bedding from a pet mouse, guinnae pig, etc.
Inside a bumblebee nest
Inside a bumblebee nest will be a queen bee, who lays almost all of the eggs. Around her, she will have a number of worker bees, who help to look after the nest, collect food, and raise new offspring.
Unlike the distinctive honeybee nest, which has tightly packed hexagonal cells for raising offspring and storing honey, the inside of the bumblebee nest can appear quite messy and disorganised.
You might also find a number of dead bees and grubs near the nest entrance. This is because worker bees will remove dead and dying bees from the nest to keep it clean and free of disease.
What to do if you find a bumblebee nest
If you find a bumblebee nest, consider yourself very lucky! They aren't very common, and can be difficult to find. We have developed an essential guide to bumblebee nests and what you need to know which is available to download here.
We recommend that if you find a bumblebee nest, it is best to leave it alone and avoid disturbing it. If you do approach close to it, be sure not to breathe on the nest, as this can make the bees behave defensively, and they may sting. Please note that though bumblebees are not generally aggressive, they might get aggravated if you interfere with the nest itself. They don't form swarms, but you may see a cloud of male bees flying outside the nest, as in the video below. They should just get on with life and do their own thing - doing a wonderful job of pollinating plants, wildflowers and your vegetables. Even the very largest nests produce very little "traffic" in and out, so you won't see threatening numbers of bees at any point during the summer.
If the bees are living under your shed, and are coming up through holes in the floor, then this is probably because it's the easiest way in and out for them. If you make a different hole, from the outside of the shed, and then block up the hole they were using, then they should happily take to their new route.
Bumblebee nests don't live for long, so the nest should die naturally within a few months. After that time, the new queens will have flown from the nest to hibernate in the soil elsewhere.
It is possible that a different bumblebee queen will find and use the same hole next year. The old nest will die in the autumn though, and all the bees will have left or died. If you don't want bees in the same place again you can block the entrance to the nest up after it dies down to prevent a new queen finding the nest site in later years.
Staff from Bumblebee Conservation Trust are unable to move bumblebee nests, however if you really need to move the nest or would like more information on re-routing nest entrances, click here to view our guide to moving bumblebee nests. We have also developed this list of frequently asked questions about bumblebee nests which you can read through.
Below is a video is a 'drone cloud' - a group of male bumblebees hovering outside a nest waiting for females to emerge so they can mate. This behaviour is only found in the Tree bumblebee (Bombus hypnorum). The males have no sting, so please do not be alarmed if you see this.

Yeah, but it's a heck of a lot harder to read. Harmony nearly blinded me. (I had to tilt my screen and highlight that
green just to read it. Just keep in mind that not everyone can read colored text. You may want to go with something a bit less bright -- or simply try the following suggestions.)
Wouldn't it just be easier to use chat or script format? Or even prose?
For example...
Jax sits back and motions to the character who randomly appears next to her. The latter blinks in confusion and nudges a pair of glasses up the bridge of her nose.
"Um." Viola seems to be particularly eloquent tonight.
Noticing her companion's lack of communication skills, Jax opts to speak for her. "This is Viola DiAngelo, main character of the infamously irregularly updated and equally shoddy epic of yours truly, A Midsummer Knight's Dream."
Viola blushes and lowers her blue eyes. "It's not
bad, you know."
Ignoring her, Jax continues, "Of course, the only good thing about the fic -- aside from the fact that I learned I can, in fact, BS politics -- is the fact that the characters are decently fun to write. From the seductive Olivia to the hyper Mercury, I'll have to say I've enjoyed letting these characters wreak havoc on the defenseless people of Verona City."
At once, Viola appears a little uncomfortable. "H-hey. I'm good, aren't I?"
"Huh?" Jax blinks, but her expression appears to be one of pure indifference. "Yeah, uh, sure. Whatever."
Or, alternatively, another conversation, done in chat format. Or script format, if I bother to code stage directions decently.
Oh! I'm... I'm alone. Right. Uh, hi. Oh. There's... there's a lot of you out there. Oh. Wow. A
of you.
[She clears her throat.]
Right. Uh, I'm Viola, and I... well, I guess you can call me a toymaker, but I haven't really... done much of that lately.
[She clears her throat for a second time.]
A-anyway, oh. I've never really met an Entei or anything before. You're... you're not really supposed to exist, you know. Oh boy. This is harder than I thought. Um...
[Suddenly, Mercury storms in from stage left and shoves her aside.]
You're killing yourself out here. Stop it before you hurt yourself.
[She turns to the others.]
Hi, I'm Mercury, I'm a Midsummer Knight, and among other things, I'm an alcoholic. There. That's not so bad. Now, you try.
But I'm not an alcoholic.
First step of the twelve step process is admitting you have a problem!
[Sebastian stands off to stage right, but he pokes his head onstage and scowls.]
She doesn't have a problem!
Denial is not a river in Egypt!
[Turning his head, Sebastian addresses someone in the wings behind him. The rest of the Midsummer Knights cast is apparently backstage, unseen and engaging in both legal and illegal activities.]
Wasn't one of you supposed to keep her off stage?!
[There's a chorus of grumbles from the other cast members backstage. None of them seem to want to confess... whatever it is they're confessing. On stage left, near the wing, Jax stands back next to Bill, who shyly peeks past the curtain. He doesn't seem to have stage fright. Rather, he shifts on his feet awkwardly and rubs the back of his neck, as if he's embarrassed to be there.]
I'm not entirely certain why I'm here. Strictly speaking, I'm not one of your characters, isn't that so? I have some fairly important research to--
Jax, interrupting:
You're close enough, and we have free beer and rare Pokemon.
[There's a moment's silence, after which Bill turns to the others and smiles politely.]
Hello. My name is Bill, and it's a pleasure to meet you all.
So, yes. If we could ditch the colors, that'd be great. If we could have a topic or something like that, that'd be better because otherwise, my characters are a bit shy. Or drunk. You know. Same thing.
Professional ninja. May or may not actually be back. Here for the snark and banter at most.
Need some light reading?

Dallas, As loyal customers breathed a collective sigh of relief, new owners of the Neiman Marcus Group announced that they would not "mess with" a good thing.
Private equity firms Texas Pacific Group of Fort Worth and New York-based Warburg Pincus purchased the company for $5.1 billion last May. Their announcement this morning returns Neiman Marcus to a privately held company.
The new owners get 35 namesake stores, two Bergdorf Goodman locations in New York, 14 clearance centers and the internet and catalog operations. President and CEO Burt Tansky will remain in place and has signed a new five-year contract.
Although Neiman's was purchased by a newly created entity, Newton Acquisition Merger Sub, Inc., and its parent Newton Acquisition, Inc., that entity will go away and Neiman Marcus Group, Inc., will be the surviving corporate name.

Dynamite Magazine Volume 2, Number 9 has some a slight skateboard running through it. The cover story is on Kristy McNichols's and Leif Garrett's onscreen breakup in the TV show "Family." It mentions Leif's appearance in Skateboard: the Movie. There's a groovy 3D pull out poster inside and a small cartoon with a skateboard in the "Bummers" section. Dynamite Magazine #58 was published in 1979.
"In 1977, Leif decided to become a rock singer."
The poster looks pretty good with the glasses on.
Dynamite Bummers
Attention Pat Rofe of Walled lake, Michigan: When is the last time you were on a skateboard?
I had that one! Hung that poster on my wall too. I also had "The Skateboard Book" that was ordered through the scholastic paper catalog we used to bring home. It had photos of tricks like the "L" sit and the half pirouette.
Flashing back is fun!
60mph huh?
"speeds up to 60 miles per hour!" I hope he had some good hair spray to keep those bangs feathered.

So far, Gushue's winning ways have carried over to Players Championship
Make it 15 straight competitive wins for Brad Gushue and his St. John's rink.
The Grand Falls-Windsor Cataracts will play for the Allan Cup Canadian senior hockey championship Saturday in New Brunswick following a 5-2 win over the host Bouctouche, N.B. JCs in semifinal play Friday night.
The Cataracts will meet the defending champion Lacombe, Alta. Generals (formerly Bentley Generals) 5 p.m. (NL time) Saturday.
Newfoundland has won two Allan championships, in 1986 by the Corner Brook Royals and 2011 by the Clarenville Caribous.
It's the fourth time in seven years the Cataracts have played in the Allan Cup, and the first time Grand Falls-Windsor has reached the final. The Cats were bounced from the semifinals in each of the past two seasons, last year in Steinbach, Man. and two years ago in Clarenville following a 2-1 overtime loss to Bentley.
Player of the game Matt Bragg (one as shorthanded effort) and Brandon Bussey each scored twice for the winners, and defenceman Brandon Roach scored into an empty net.
Bryan Gillis posted his third straight win in the tournament as the Cataracts have so far been unbeaten in three games.
Lacombe beat Manitoba's South East Prairie Thunder 8-4 in their semifinal game in a matchup of last year's final.

Electrical Questions? Ask an Electrician Online.
Hello Pat.........my name is XXXXX XXXXX I will be happy to assist you with your electrical question. My goal is to exceed your expectations on Just Answer!
1) Can you visually trace the old circuit from the breaker panel in the basement to the exterior of the house? Any chance that there is a splice box in between or are both circuits a "homerun" back to the main panel??
2) How are you able to measure 110VAC, from an existing hot to a neutral or from an existing hot to a ground? Are you sure you are not measuring voltage from the other circuit and possibly not the 2 hot's from the 50 amp breaker?
3) Doubt that the old circuit had a neutral wire, usually just 2 hot's and 1 ground wire?
4) Have you looked inside the main electrical panel to make sure there are no double taps on the 50 amp breaker? Any splices inside the panel or do the 2 hot's land directly on the 50 amp breaker?
5) What are you using for measuring the voltage? A 2-prong contact type AC voltage tester or an AC voltmeter?
1) Pat.......if unable to visually trace out the circuit path, stay on the exterior and measure again for voltage on both of the 50 amp hot's to ground. Have somebody inside the basement turning the respective double pole breakers to the OFF position in order to determine which breaker is feeding the 2 hot's on the exterior that you wish to disconnect.
2) If the conductors were installed in conduit or Greenfield or Liquidtite, you can also gently tug on the wires from the main panel to determine it's destination or any splice boxes along the path to the exterior while a helper listens for the wires moving about inside any conduit or flexible conduit.
3) You can also determine which conductors originate from which breaker by the size of the hot conductors. A 50 amp requires either 6 AWG Stranded Copper or 4 AWG Stranded aluminum. An 80 amp requires either 3 AWG Stranded Copper or 1 AWG Stranded Aluminum. The 80 amp circuit conductors will be a larger wire size.
The wire gauge will also be labeled on the exterior conductor insulation and you can visually determine which conductors belong to the respective double pole breakers.
Hope this helps………If you have any additional questions, let me know and I'll be glad to answer them for you.
Otherwise, don't forget to rate me before you log Off.
The next time you have an electrical question, you can also request for me at:http://www.justanswer.com/home-improvement/expert-your-electrician ……….Thanks…………..Kevin!
Its too dark to do all that now so I will take a look tomorrow. Thanks for the clear and thorough suggestions - I never thought of all that. I am using a volt meter and I only measured between the 2 large wires, not to ground.
No problem Pat........take a look at things tomorrow when it is daylight and let me know what you find. Just reply back to me on this question and we can take it from there.
In the meantime, have a great evening and we'll talk at you tomorrow..........Thanks........Kevin.

Hi all. I'm wanting to write a new GiST index system, to improve performance on some queries I am running. I have had quite a look through the docs and code, and I'm not convinced that it is possible to do what I want. This is what I am wanting to index: CREATE INDEX range_index ON table(a, b) USING fancy_new_index; and then: SELECT * FROM table WHERE a > 1 AND b < 4; and have that answered by the index. Now, generating an index format that can answer that particular arrangement of constraints is easy. I can do that. However, getting multiple values into the GiST functions is something I don't know how to do. As far as I can see, I would need to create a composite type and index that, like the contrib package seg does. This would change my SQL to: CREATE INDEX range_index ON table(fancy_type(a, b)) USING fancy_index; SELECT * FROM table WHERE fancy_type(a, b) &^£(at)! fancy_type(1, 4); which I don't want to do. So, has this problem been solved before? Is there an already-existing index that will speed up my query? Is there a way to get more than one value into a GiST index?
