A request came up on my Twitter feed last night, asking me to sign a HM Gov petition rallying against any consideration of airgun licensing in England and Wales. The following is an explanation, despite my good standing within the airgun community, of why I can't sign such a petition.
On October 10th 2017 the Home Office, unsurprisingly, announced its intention to carry out a review into the regulation of air weapons in England and Wales. I say unsurprisingly because (as is often the case with gun law) incidents involving two young victims within little more than a year had raised questions about credibility of ownership regarding air guns. In the first, an 18 month old boy miraculously survived after an airgun owner deliberately pointed the gun at him at close range because he was crying and the gun discharged. Saved only by the skill of medical intervention, he will nonetheless be disabled for life. This happened in a flat in Bristol. In the second incident, a 13 year old boy was shot and subsequently died when his lifelong friend (of similar age) was looking through the scope of a gun, swung it around and the rifle discharged into his friends neck. The gun was, according to the police, owned by one of the fathers,not made by a commercial manufacturer. It was a .22 air rifle which had a telescopic sight and silencer, could be loaded with up to nine pellets without them being visible, had no safety catch, and could discharge without the trigger being pulled.The boys had been playing in a garden 'boy cave'. Many of you, like me, would question why, in the first case, a loaded airgun was in the presence of an 18 month old child. In the second case (like the first a blatant transgression of the Crime & Security Act 2010) a mature adult had left a weapon loaded and not securely stored. The second incident prompted the Coroner involved, Dr Peter Dean, to request an urgent Government review on airgun legislation. So that, folks, is why we are where we are now. The mature shooters amongst us know, of course, that there is no such thing as an 'accident' with a gun, only 'negligence' on somebody's part. I could comment on my perceived lack of sufficient legal retribution in both cases, but I'm not a lawyer.
We have enjoyed a long period of unlicensed ownership around legal limit (sub 12 ft/lb power) airguns when compared to other countries. Yet as proven above, these guns can kill. That's why we use them for pest control. Licensing for all airguns is mandatory in Australia, Romania, Eire, New Zealand, Scotland, Hong Kong, Japan, Luxembourg and Malta. Hunting with airguns is banned totally in Switzerland, South Africa, Estonia, Finland, France, Slovenia, Portugal, Poland, Lithuania, Italy and Greece. We really don't appreciate how good we've got it here in the UK, so why the big fear over 'licensing'? Is it because we don't want to be bothered with the paperwork? Try telling that to the parents of the kids mentioned above. It can't be cost? Taking the Scotland fee, 30p per week for 5 years?
We have long had, in the UK, stringent licensing around shotguns and firearms (+12 ft/lbs). The need for a Shotgun Certificate (SGC) or Firearms Certificate (FAC) has been widely accepted, so why not airgunning licensing?
Transition to a licensed airgun system will be a nightmare. Particularly for the police. The Scotland model has proved this. The first hurdle is that of retrospective ownership. Yet it's all been done before, so there must be a better model to work from. In the sixties, the introduction of shotgun licensing must have presented the same problem. There would have been thousands of shotguns sitting in farmyard kitchens and keepers cottages all around the country. Yet a transition was achieved.
Given that many of the airguns in current ownership will be owned by SGC / FAC holders already, why not add a permanent and immediate exemption for sub-12 ft/lb airgun ownership? They have already gone through a process. That would relieve the burden on police licensing departments immensely.
In Scotland, of an estimated 500,000 guns, only 12,000 have been surrendered under amnesty. Over 2,500 application for an AWC (Air Weapon Certificate) were received by January 2017 (a year after introduction). Of these, only around 400 had been processed (with no refusals). So now there are hundreds of thousands of criminally owned airguns in Scotland. Yet unless they live in a bubble, these gun owners know this. Responsible owners would have attempted to comply with the law and either surrendered their guns or applied for a AWC.
That reflects dreadfully on the mentality of the 'casual airgun owner' and justifies the public stance against these guns. Complacency has already cost lives. If you are reading this and think I am 'bracketing' people, you are right. There are airgun owners … and there are 'responsible' airgun owners. I only ever represent the latter.
So how would I handle the 'retrospective ownership' problem? You're not going to like this, guys and girls! I would get really tough with gun owners. The key to the shotgun transition was to include the purchase of ammunition. No ticket, no cartridges.So no AWC, no pellets. That would either deprive non-compliant shooters of ammo (eventually) or draw them out to apply.
Many keen airgunners swap and changes rifles regularly. The Scotland model covers this adequately. The AWC is for the person, not the guns. It does not record the guns in ownership, which is sensible. It also seems to cover airgun clubs well, who can apply for a club license and loan gun to members. I have heard arguments that target (club) shooters shouldn't have to be licensed? Why? Clay and skeet shooters have to be. The potential for harm is surely greater in the crowded environment of a competition than hunting alone in a wood. Yet we shouldn't be arguing amongst ourselves, should we.
It is interesting to note the stance of the major shooting organisations on this issue. BASC and the CA (I am a member of both, incidentally, and think they do Trojan work) have done little but try to reason with the Home Office that there is already sufficient legislation in place and that licensing won't achieve anything. The CA Briefing Note was superb but I've seen nothing since October last year. As a passionate airgun hunter, I have learned never to expect too much from either organisation in support of what they seem to consider a 'feeder' sport but on this issue, I think their relative silence speaks volumes. Most of those 4 million airgun owners aren't members of any such organisation and probably won't even have shooting insurance. How can we justify that and why should we support them? Forgive the pun but we are staring down the barrel of the inevitable.
What of the airgun supply and manufacturing industry? The impact of licensing could be significant … or will it? It could hit the cheaper end of the industry (who wants to buy a £100 springer and have to apply for a £72 license?) Remember though that any license will endure for 5 years or more, depending on decisions. Surely the top-end air rifle manufacturers should be able to use licensing as a marketing tool? "Buy our prestige £2000 PCP and we will subsidise your license fee!" Shotgun licensing never affected the major manufacturers. Bleating from the gun trade won't get any sympathy, particularly when the most elite have tried to market 100 ft/lb 'superguns' in .30 calibre in recent years. FAC airguns with no purpose in the UK other than bragging rights.
Do I need to get more contentious, or have you had enough? We shouldn't be wasting our time signing petitions (that's what anti-shooting types do, they achieve nothing but to piss on some strawberries for a day or two). We should be thinking about how to negotiate a sensible transition, which seems inevitable. Looking forward, not backwards.
The gun trade should be talking directly to Government about impact on business, not leaning on our representative organisations to lobby against licensing. How about trade-ins on guns without safety catches.Why not license ammunition purchase too, as I've suggested?What about license grants that run alongside a BASC / CA / NGO / GWCT membership? Could the cost of a license be spread over the duration?
I don't have the answers but I, for one, think we are facing licensing. So let's not just roll over and squeal 'victim!'. How dare we, given the circumstances that have driven this consultation. Let's do something positive about it, before there are more real victims.
I have been championing airgunning for the past 15 years in the media. I have been an airgunner for more than four decades. But as Heraclitus said, "There is nothing permanent except change".

Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Gould, Jay
GOULD, Jay, financier, b. in Roxbury, Delaware co., N. Y., 27 May, 1836; d. in New York city, 2 Dec., 1892. His early years were spent on his father's farm, and at the age of fourteen he entered Hobart academy, New York, and kept the books of the village blacksmith. He acquired a taste for mathematics and surveying, and on leaving school found employment in making the surveys for a map of Ulster county. The accuracy of this work attracted the attention of the late John Delafield, who applied to the legislature for aid in the completion of a topographical survey of the entire state by Mr. Gould. Mr. Delafield died before any material progress was made, and Mr. Gould undertook to make the surveys unaided. During the summer of 1853 he completed a survey of Albany county, and surveyed and mapped the village of Cohoes, and in the following year made the survey and map of Delaware county, and organized and despatched parties to survey Lake and Geauga counties, Ohio, and Oakland county, Mich. From these surveys he accumulated $5,000. He published a "History of Delaware County" (1856), and while projecting other surveys was prostrated with typhoid fever. On his recovery he became acquainted with Zadock Pratt, who sent him into the western part of the state to select a site for a tannery. He chose a fine hemlock growth, erected a saw-mill and blacksmith-shop, and with Mr. Pratt was soon doing a large lumbering business. Subsequently he bought out Mr. Pratt's interest, and conducted the business alone till just before the panic of 1857, when he sold out his entire plant. In 1857 he became the largest stockholder and a director in the Stroudsburg, Pa., bank. Shortly after the crisis he bought the bonds of the Rutland and Washington railroad at ten cents on the dollar, abandoning every other interest and putting all his money into railroad securities. For a long time he was president, treasurer, and general superintendent of this company. He brought about a consolidation of the Rensselaer and Saratoga road, and with the proceeds removed to New York city in 1859, established himself as a broker, and invested heavily in Erie railway stock. He entered the directory of that company and became president, holding the office till the reorganization of the directory in 1872. He next made large purchases of the stocks of the Union Pacific, the Wabash, the Texas Pacific, the St. Louis and northern, the Missouri Pacific, and the Missouri, Kansas, and Texas railroad companies, taking the latter out of the hands of its receiver. He also invested deeply in the stock of the Atlantic and Pacific telegraph company, and on its consolidation with the Western union he organized the American union (1879), which was merged into the Western union in 1881. In December, 1880, official records showed that Mr. Gould was in control of 10,000 miles of railroad, or more than one ninth of the entire mileage of the country. Early in 1881 he became interested in the elevated railroad system of New York city. A doubt having been cast upon his financial standing, he summoned several gentlemen to his private office on 13 March, 1882, and spread before them for examination certificates of stocks having a face value of $53,000,000, all in his own name, and offered to produce $20,000,000 more, if desired. In March, 1887, Mr. Gould purchased a controlling interest in the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad company, which has an aggregate mileage of nearly 900 miles, and is a joint owner with the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fé railroad company, of the Atlantic and Pacific, and the western portion of the Southern Pacific railroad companies. These, with the projected links, gave him full control of an additional 3,000 miles of rail.

PR NewswirePARISOct 3, 2012
PARIS, Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN), the world leader in innovative workforce solutions, is pleased to announce that ManpowerGroup President of Southern Europe Francoise Gri has been named to Fortune Magazine's prestigious list of the 50 Most Powerful Women in International Business for the ninth year in a row for 2012.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110330/CG73938LOGO-a)
Despite this year's Fortune list proving to be the most competitive in the history of the ranking, with an overwhelming number of leading businesswomen in contention, Gri was successful in retaining 31st position on a list which recognizes women who successfully lead businesses, while wielding significant cultural and social influence. In her role, Gri leads ManpowerGroup's largest region by revenues, as well as the company's largest and most influential single market, France.
"Francoise continues to gain recognition as an outstanding female achiever in business despite fierce competition, which speaks volumes for her ability to lead in a complex and challenging environment, her drive and determination, and her willingness to continually set a higher bar for herself year after year," said Jeffrey A. Joerres, ManpowerGroup Chairman and CEO. "Francoise has stepped up in the face of the uncertainty that plagues the European market, meeting those challenges head on and displaying exemplary leadership for her team."
Under Gri's leadership, ManpowerGroup France alone generated $6.2 billion in revenue in 2011, a 12.6% percent increase in year-over-year revenues from the year prior. In the first quarter of 2012, the Southern Europe region generated over $1.7 billion in revenues – more than one third of the global company's total revenues — including $1.3 billion in France and $267.5m in Italy.
Gri has continued to expand her influence during the past 12 months, leading ManpowerGroup's delegation at the World Economic Forum on the Middle East, North Africa and Eurasia 2012. She co-moderated a dynamic discussion on the macroeconomic forces that are the hallmark of the Human Age — the transformational new era that ManpowerGroup has identified when talent has replaced capital as the competitive differentiator. Gri advised that employers should be more flexible, agile and focus on training and development. They should forecast their talent needs years in advance and align their business strategy with a comprehensive workforce strategy.
At the WEF Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland on 26 January 2012, Gri rang the New York Stock Exchange opening bell for European markets. During the WEF Annual Meeting, Gri participated in a session titled "Gender Dynamics, a Systemic Approach to Gender Parity," as a selected leader who has taken successful actions towards gender equality. The session focused on creating a new systemic architecture to accelerate progress on closing the economic gender gap. Gri also participated in the Women Leaders & Gender Programme Advisory Group annual meeting.
In September 2012, Gri had a new book published on the subject of her career path as a woman, and the wider issue of women in the workplace. This follows the publication of her book titled "Pleading for Responsible Employment," in 2010. In this work, she recorded details of her discussions with her employees and clients during the great recession, the lessons she learned from this period, as well as her analysis of the French employment market.

Tracy Castro turned this 1969 Camaro SS into a real canyon-carver
Building a first-generation Camaro into a corner-carver has becomeextremely popular since the whole Pro-Touring movement started buildingmomentum. But Tracy Castro wasn't influenced by visions of g-machineswhen he started planning the '69 Camaro SS he'd just acquired back in1990. Even though the musclecar resto craze was in full swing at thetime, and Castro's Camaro was a genuine Super Sport with factoryfour-speed, he never considered doing the numbers-matching resto deal onit. Instead, the plan was to "build it to turn," as Tracy puts it.
Initially, the idea was to set the Camaro up for autocrossing and theoccasional road-course jaunt. The body was in good shape, as was the 350engine and the four-speed, plus it had a healthy 12-bolt rear. Thesuspension was rebuilt using aluminum bushings in the control arms alongwith Global West springs and Quickor sway bars. Once the car was backtogether, Tracy spent a year autocrossing to get the car sorted out forthe road course. But by the end of the year, he realized that the shortcourses were doing nothing to help dial the car in for road racing, andeven the long courses were only marginally helpful. The next season, theCamaro hit the racetrack.
After a couple seasons of fine-tuning the Camaro's suspension, it was acapable handler, and according to Tracy, a blast on a road circuit. Butsometime during the second season, one of Tracy's racing buddies beganassembling a '67 Mustang for the Silver State Classic, an open road raceon public highways in Nevada. Tracy helped with the car and attended theevent, and that was all it took to infect him with a new need for speed.
The following year, the Camaro was a participant in the Silver Stateevent, which really didn't necessitate much work since all of the safetygear required for the entry level class–a maximum of 110 mph–wasalready in place. Over the following seasons, he upgraded the safetyequipment, which allowed Tracy to compete in increasingly fasterclasses. Of course, the Camaro has seen other upgrades as well, like the500hp small-block and Tremec TKO II trans, which both help to propel theF-car to greater velocity. At the 2003 running of the Silver State,Tracy (along with navigator Ernie Cross) competed in the 130-mph classwith a 165 mph "tech speed"–the maximum speed that the sanctioning bodyfeels the car is safely capable of, based primarily on safety equipment.In fact, the Camaro has hit a terminal velocity of 163 mph, and Tracyreports it handles the speed with ease.
Despite the Camaro's race-bred nature, it remains a street car, and seesfrequent road use, though road course action is still the main part ofthe equation. What's in the future for the little orange screamer? Morespeed!
Car Craft Q&A
Car Craft: What made you decide to build a handling carwhen you first picked up your Camaro?
Tracy Castro: Well, I've always liked cars that can goaround corners fast, and I've had a thing for the early Camaros since Iwas a kid. It just seemed like the obvious route to take.
CC: What kinds of tricks have you employed to get thecar to stick in the turns?
TC: Nothing all that trick, really. The control armsare all stock, though the lowers are boxed; we just fitted them withGlobal West bushings–the uppers even retain the stock mountinglocation. Global's springs and bushings make a big difference, and fromthere, it's a matter of tuning the shocks and alignment settings.
CC: You drive the car on the street still, but do youactually drive to the Silver State?
TC: No, that's a 900-mile trip, and even though the carwould make it there with no trouble, there's always the possibility ofbreaking something during the race. That would make getting home aproblem. I do drive it often locally though.
CC: Do you still use the car for road race events?
TC: Sure, in fact we just ran an event at Buttonwillowat Thanksgiving. The car still works great for road courses, and goingback and forth is a simple matter of adjusting the shocks, tirepressures, and alignment specs.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – The UC Santa Barbara women's basketball team came out firing in Sunday afternoon's Lady Rebel Round-Up third-place game, defeating Dartmouth 62-56 to claim its first win of the season.
The Gauchos (1-5) ended a five-game skid thanks in large part to their most dominant first half of the season. After making 75 percent (9-12 FG) of their shots in the first quarter, they would head into the break leading the Big Green (2-2) 34-20. No player was hotter over the opening 20 minutes than Coco Miller, who hit five of her first six three-point attempts before halftime.
Going for her second 20-point effort in three games, Miller led all players with season-highs of 22 points and 10 rebounds, notching just the second double-double of her career.
"[Miller] hit the big shot to get us up six. We were bobbing and weaving there for a minute," said head coach Bonnie Henrickson, referring to the Gauchos' final field goal of the day, a jumper by Miller which put UCSB up 58-52 with a little over a minute remaining.
Following the game, Henrickson had nothing but praise for the redshirt junior guard, who has not disappointed since taking over point guard responsibilities in recent games. Miller went 7-of-13 overall and 5-for-9 from three for her sixth career 20-point game. It was the second time in her career that she's hit five threes in a half, but the first time she's done it before halftime.
"They started to press her down the stretch. She's in the huddle talking to the team, saying, 'Listen we have one timeout, it's our ball on a jump.' Things that need to be communicated by the floor general," Henrickson said. "It was a big day for Coco."
Junior center Natalia Bruening also played huge for the Gauchos, putting up 18 points and seven boards on a perfect 6-for-6 mark from the field. That was good for the second-highest scoring total of her career.
A jumper by sophomore guard Bri Anugwom with 5:51 to go in the third extended UCSB's lead to 43-22, capping a 9-0 run which saw all five Gaucho starters score. Overall, it was a 20-6 run by UCSB going back to the first half, arguably its best stretch of play in the early season. Miller was the catalyst with 11 points on a perfect 4-for-4 shooting during the run.
Santa Barbara would take its foot off the gas pedal the rest of the way, allowing Dartmouth to creep back into the game. The Big Green cut the deficit to 10 points by the end of the third, 53-43, and would get as close as three points late in the fourth as the Gauchos went eight and a half minutes without a field goal. UCSB had 10 more turnovers than its opponent for the second straight game, setting a new season-high with 25 giveaways.
"We talked about it coming out of the locker room. The next step is to sustain it, to do it again," Henrickson said. "We couldn't stay on the gas and grow the lead."
The final 32 seconds provided some tension, as Dartmouth played the foul game and sent the Gauchos to the free throw line four times, each trip ending in a 1-for-2 split. Luckily for UCSB, the Big Green came up scoreless on its final three possessions, as Miller scored the final two points from the line to give her team the 62-56 win.
"Give them credit. They made a run, and we played not to lose. We got a little hesitant and tentative down the stretch," said Henrickson. "All-in-all, really good things by a lot of different players. Even some players off the bench gave us some really good minutes and were productive, and that's really important for us."
After missing the first four games of the year, sophomore guard Danae Miller made her second straight appearance off the bench, tying freshman Lauren Lee for team-high honors with two steals in 13 minutes. Anugwom was the Gauchos' third-leading scorer with nine points on 4-of-10 shooting.
Earning her second consecutive start, junior guard Celeste Salazar made the first field goals of her D-I career, making 2-of-3 shots for four points.
As a team, UCSB recorded season-highs in field goal percentage (47.8%), rebounds (39) and assists (15). The Gauchos also outrebounded their opponent for the first time this year, enjoying a 39-24 advantage on the glass.
UCSB will be look to build some momentum from home for its next two outings as it prepares to face St. Mary's (Thursday) and Grand Canyon (Sunday) in the coming week.

Oldsmar holds zipline park groundbreaking ceremony
Oldsmar Mayor Doug Bevis, city council members and other city, county and state officials came out for the zipline park groundbreaking ceremony at Mobbly Bayou Preserve on Thursday.
Flanked by a pair of watchful owls and surrounded by acres of natural beauty, Oldsmar Mayor Doug Bevis, along with his fellow council members, ceremonially broke ground on the city's new zipline adventure park on Thursday.
The morning ceremony at the Mobbly Bayou Wilderness preserve was also attended by officials from Empower Adventures, the company building the attraction, as well as representatives from Congressman Gus Bilirakis', Senator Marco Rubio's and Senator Bill Nelson's offices, plus the Audubon Society of Clearwater.
In describing the incoming park, which will feature five ziplines, a 100-ft. suspension bridge, and other adventure park elements, Bevis said he was happy with the fact that Oldsmar will be the first city in the Tampa Bay area to feature such an attraction.
"This is exciting," the mayor told the group of roughly 30 that gathered on a warm and sunny morning at the preserve. "I know there's been a little pushback on this recently, but we're excited you decided to put this park in Oldsmar, where it will be the first of its kind in the Tampa Bay region."
Following the mayor's opening comments, Empower Adventures owner Dev Pathik spoke about his company's newest project.
"Our mission is to create an incredible experience in a beautiful setting," Pathik said. "When you zip across the water, something happens to each of us. It takes us past the most challenging experiences of our lives."
Pathik referred to the construction of the new BMX Supercross track, the pending multi-million dollar mixed-use development in the downtown district, as well as the rumblings of bringing the Tampa Bay Rays to town as a few reasons why his company chose Oldsmar as the location for their third zipline park.
"It's a dream come true, because Oldsmar really is a special place, and we're honored to be a part of what you are doing here in the city," he said.
Oldsmar officials also believe the zipline park is another example of the continued growth of the city, and contrary to some residents' beliefs, they do not think the park is going to negatively impact the environment or the community.
"The environment is only great when people get to enjoy it," Bevis said after the ceremony, adding, "There are probably more people here now than there will be during the park's hours.
"Maybe we could've done a better job of sharing that aspect of it with the public," he admitted. "But hopefully when the park is finished, they will see the sky is not falling and see that it's not a bad thing, and, in fact, it should be a good thing for the community."
Not surprisingly, Empower Adventure officials shared that opinion, and they were quick to point out the purpose of the park is to embrace the environment, not destroy it.
"The natural surrounding here at the preserve, the Environmental Education Center, the dog park and the kayak trails, all coincide with the ecological program we promise," company founder Joe DeRing told Oldsmar Connect. "It's what Empower Adventures is all about."
DeRing went on to explain that the impact of the project be minimally invasive to the surroundings.
"The towers get situated in among the natural environment. We don't even use large machinery to build them," he said.
"Being invasive and destroying the natural environment defeats the whole purpose of our parks."
As DeRing and others got a little nature lesson about the owls and other species of birds from the Audubon Society representatives, one environmental activist explained the unique partnership on this project.
"We've created a conservation partnership with Empower Adventures to work some of our conservation messages into the park's curriculum," Barbara Walker, director of the Audubon Society of Florida's Gulf Coast chapter, said.
"I hope people can value that collaboration, because we have a seat at the table to be able to provide feedback whenever situations come up."
"The bottom line is, we need to get people into our parks, and this project is definitely going to help do that."
At least one Oldsmar resident was on board with the plan.
"I think it's a fantastic way to bring the community together," Sharry Griner, who was riding her bike through the preserve during the ceremony, said.
"I think it's cool, and it's going to bring a lot more revenue and a lot more people looking for adventure to Oldsmar."
Officials said work on the zipline park is expected to begin immediately, with a completion date tentatively scheduled for mid-May.
The separate, adventure park section has an opening date of around July 1.

In this article we are going to look closer at the technology behind geothermal electricity, or in other words, how we can convert geothermal energy to electrical energy.
There is currently only 10,715 MW geothermal power installed across 24 different countries (May 2010), just a tiny fraction of the World's consumption of electricity. The upper estimate of our geothermal resources reveals that the total potential is more than adequate to supply humanity with energy.
How is Geothermal Energy Converted to Electricity?
There are several different main types of geothermal plants:
- Dry steam
- Flash steam
- Binary cycle
What these types of geothermal power plants all have in common is that they use steam turbines to generate electricity. This approach is very similar to other thermal power plants using other sources of energy than geothermal.
Water or working fluid is heated (or used directly incase of geothermal dry steam power plants), and then sent through a steam turbine where the thermal energy (heat) is converted to electricity with a generator through a phenomenon called electromagnetic induction. The next step in the cycle is cooling the fluid and sending it back to the heat source.
Water that has been seeping into the underground over time has gained heat energy from the geothermal reservoirs. There no need for additional heating, as you would expect with other thermal power plants. Heating boilers are not present in geothermal steam power plants and no heating fuel is used.
Production wells (red on the illustrations) are used to lead hot water/steam from the reservoirs and into the power plant.
Rock catchers are in place to make sure that only hot fluids is sent to the turbine. Rocks can cause great damage to steam turbines.
Injection wells (blue on the illustrations) ensure that the water that is drawn up from the production wells returns to the geothermal reservoir where it regains the thermal energy (heat) that we have used to generate electricity.
Depending on the state of the water (liquid or vapor) and its temperature, different types of power plants are used for different geothermal reservoirs. Most geothermal power plants extract water, in its vapor or liquid form, from the reservoirs somewhere in the temperature-range 100-320°C (220-600°F).
[adrotate group="1″]
Geothermal Dry Steam Power Plants
This type of geothermal power plant was named dry steam since water water that is extracted from the underground reservoirs has to be in its gaseous form (water-vapor).
Geothermal steam of at least 150°C (300°F) is extracted from the reservoirs through the production wells (as we would do with all geothermal power plant types), but is then sent directly to the turbine. Geothermal reservoirs that can be exploited by geothermal dry steam power plants are rare.
Dry steam is the oldest geothermal power plant type. The first one was constructed in Larderello, Italy, in 1904. The Geysers, 22 geothermal power plants located in California, is the only example of geothermal dry steam power plants in the United States.
Geothermal Flash Steam Power Plants
Geothermal flash steam power plants uses water at temperatures of at least 182°C (360°F). The term flash steam refers the process where high-pressure hot water is flashed (vaporized) into steam inside a flash tank by lowering the pressure. This steam is then used to drive around turbines.
Flash steam is today's most common power plant type. The first geothermal power plant that used flash steam technology was the Wairakei Power station in New Zealand, which was built already in 1958:
Geothermal Binary Cycle Power Plants
The binary cycle power plant has one major advantage over flash steam and dry steam power plants: The water-temperature can be as low as 57°C (135°F).
By using a working fluid (binary fluid) with a much lower boiling temperature than water, thermal energy in the reservoir water flashes the working fluid into steam, which then is used to generate electricity with the turbine. The water coming from the geothermal reservoirs through the production wells is never in direct contact with the working fluid. After the some of its thermal energy is transferred to the working fluid with a heat exchanger, the water is sent back to the reservoir through the injection wells where it regains it's thermal energy.
These power plants have a thermal efficiency rate of only 10-13%. However, geothermal binary cycle power plants enable us, through lowering temperature requirements, to harness geothermal energy from reservoirs that with a dry- or a flash steam power plant wouldn't be possible.
First successful geothermal binary cycle project took place in Russia in 1967.
Cogeneration (Combined Heat and Power)
Depending on what type of geothermal power plant, location and various other factors, the thermal efficiency rate is not more than 10-23%. Technically, low efficiency rates do not affect operational costs of a geothermal power plant, as it would with power plants that are reliant on fuels to heat a working fluid.
Electricity generation does suffer from low thermal efficiency rates, but the byproducts, exhaust heat and warm water, have many useful purposes. By not only generating power, but also taking advantage of the thermal energy in the byproducts, overall energy efficiency increases. This is what we call geothermal cogeneration or combined heat and power (CHP). Here are some good examples of this:
- District heating
- Greenhouses
- Timber mills
- Hot springs and bathing facilities
- Agriculture
- Snow and ice melting
- Desalination (processes that remove salt and other minerals from saline water)
- Various other industrial processes
How is geothermal energy transported? It is not a surprise that the electricity that is generated with geothermal power plants is transported in the same way as you would with any other power plant (or a wind or solar farm for that matter): Voltage is increased to minimize losses and the current is sent onto the electrical grid. Transporting heat over long distances, as you would with CHP, requires a heavily insulated piping system, which is a significant addition to costs.

Canada experiments with U.S. 'sanctuary city' model
The idea of a city serving as a sanctuary for undocumented immigrants goes back nearly 40 years in the United States, where it's become a symbol of resistance against President Trump's hardline immigration policies. But does the "sanctuary city" concept translate outside the U. S.?
Montréal is going to find out. Last week, Canada's second largest city became its third to formally adopt the "sanctuary city" designation. The decision means that municipal services will be available to all residents, regardless of their immigration status. It does not specify whether local police will be directed not to cooperate with national immigration authorities.
The point about police cooperation has been a sticking point for Canadian cities as they follow the lead of more than 200 jurisdictions in the U. S., including New York City and the state of California.
In the U. S. context, sanctuary policies generally mean that local police will not ask a person his or her immigration status, or report a person's undocumented status to federal law enforcement officials. The Trump Administration has vowed to cut off federal funding to jurisdictions that continue such practices.
But in Canada, a country where multiculturalism is becoming a key part of the national identity, immigration policies are much more welcoming to begin with. That causes some to question whether moves like Montréal's are even necessary.
After the city council approved the declaration on 20 February, Montréal Mayor Denis Coderre said the city's public security committee will study how police should respond to the new policy. Migrants' rights advocates are encouraging Coderre to direct police explicitly not to cooperate with the Canada Border Services Agency on any actions that could lead to deportation for persons without legal status.
By contrast, a pro-immigration columnist for The Globe and Mail called Coderre's move "a needless test of Canadian tolerance." Konrad Yakabuski argued that Canada's immigration laws — unlike those of the U. S.— function well. Declaring Montréal a sanctuary city, Yakabuski argued, would only "encourage the creation of a permanent underclass of undocumented illegal immigrants" and meddle with the public's trust in its laws and institutions.
The response suggests that the idea of sanctuary cities may cross the U. S.-Canada border more easily than its practice.
Southern borders
The sanctuary-city idea has roots in Los Angeles. In 1979, the city began prohibiting police officers from holding suspects in order to find out whether or not they have legal status. During the 1980s "Sanctuary Movement", U. S. religious institutions offered safe haven to Central American refugees fleeing civil war even as the U. S. national government tightened asylum policy.
The term "sanctuary city" later became a slur used by critics who accused certain mayors of being "soft" on illegal immigration. But some mayors came to embrace the term as a symbol of their cities' welcoming attitudes. Proponents argue that such policies encourage immigrants to cooperate with police in investigations, send their children to public schools, utilize vital public services like healthcare and contribute to society by paying taxes.
[See: Canada has emerged as one of Habitat III's strongest advocates for vulnerable groups]
U. S. cities have taken this approach in part as a reaction against aggressive deportation efforts by the national government. In the 2012 fiscal year, the federal government deported almost 410,000 people — a statistic that led critics to give President Barack Obama the derisive nickname "deporter-in-chief." In the 2016 fiscal year, deportations dropped to 240,000.
By comparison, Canada deported just shy of 19,000 people in 2012. That number has since dropped by more than half.
The stark contrast in figures between the neighbouring nations reflects two vastly different scenarios. The U. S. southern border has historically seen large numbers of undocumented migrants from Mexico — although since the 2007-09 recession, net migration of Mexicans into the U. S. has reduced to zero. Large numbers of migrants fleeing violence and poverty in Central America have continued to cross in the U. S. via Mexico, including a wave of unaccompanied minors.
Canada, meanwhile, has its own southern border — with the prosperous U. S., which is rarely the jumping off point for those seeking a better life. Yet in recent weeks, President Trump's executive order on immigration and follow-up directives to enhance deportation seem to have changed that. Hundreds if not thousands — exact numbers are unclear — of foreign-born individuals residing in the U. S. have crossed the Canadian border illegally. They have trudged through deep winter snow at unfenced borders between Minnesota and Manitoba or Vermont and Québec where they have been greeted by Canadian border patrol.
In the U. S., getting caught at the border means ending up in a prison-like detention center to await a deportation hearing, where the individual would have the right to a lawyer but not to a publicly provided one. In Canada, by contrast, the recent wave of arrivals are processed as "asylum seekers", a type of legal status that allows them to receive public health care and send their children to school while awaiting a decision on their asylum application.
While the constitutional rights of undocumented migrants is debated in the U. S., there is more certitude in Canada. "The moment a person puts a foot down on Canadian soil, regardless of their status, that person is fully entitled to the protection of our laws under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms," says Kim Turner of Cities of Migration, a pro-migration think tank at Ryerson University in Toronto.
'Work in progress'
Canada's more welcoming stance toward migrants raises the question of what purpose "sanctuary status" serves there. Coderre specifically cited Trump's policies as a reason for Montréal's decision, but U. S. law doesn't hold sway in Canada. And two other Canadian jurisdictions declared themselves sanctuary cities long before Trump came around. Toronto did it in 2013, as well as Hamilton in 2014. Ottawa, Regina, Saskatoon, Vancouver and Winnipeg are reportedly considering similar moves.
Turner says the current sanctuary-city movement in Canada grew out of informal "don't ask don't tell" policies, which meant that city employees would not ask someone their immigration status before offering them services.
But when it comes to policing, specific incidents can prompt a formal stance. Vancouver's transit police once boasted that they referred more undocumented migrants to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) than any other local police department in the country — some 300 per year. In 2013, an undocumented Mexican woman detained for not paying a transit fare committed suicide in CBSA's custody. An outcry ensued, and in a reversal, Vancouver's transit agency adopted an official "don't ask don't tell" policy in 2015.
Toronto's Access T. O. ordinance codified a longstanding practice that city staff do not ask people their immigration status when engaging with the public. But not all elected officials agree with the stance. Last month, Toronto Mayor John Tory and the city council reaffirmed the city's sanctuary status in light of Trump's moves. Tory's deputy mayor, Denzil Minnan-Wong, declined to join the vote and issued a terse Tweet reflecting the Canadian predicament on the topic: "I support legal immigration. I do not support illegal immigration. We have laws. They should be followed."
[See: More than half the world's refugees live in urban areas. Here's what that means for cities.]
Just days later, criminologists at Ryerson University published a report claiming that the Access T. O. policy has been unevenly applied. The authors called its implementation "diffuse, amorphous and informal, lacking systematic integration," citing, for example, city-run shelters that ask its users questions about their immigration status. The report also accused the Toronto police department of "flagrantly ignoring" its own "don't ask don't tell" policy, which dates from 2007.
By contrast, U. S. police chiefs have largely embraced sanctuary-city policies when adopted in their jurisdictions and have bristled at Trump's efforts to conscript them into his fight against undocumented migrants.
Turner calls the police adoption of Canadian sanctuary-city policies a "work in progress." She cautions that implementation is largely unmonitored — hence the outside investigative work by Ryerson — and says "it's very difficult to know how these policies, which are more aspirational than anything else, are rolled out."
Inclusive policies
While the sanctuary debate in the U. S. has focused largely on policing, Turner believes the policing issue is ultimately not the point. "Having a sanctuary-city policy isn't going to change anything," she says. "What's really important is the attitudes that those policies are reflective of in the broader population and the kind of programming and services — the kind of implementation — that will make them more than a promise."
To that end, Turner highlights a wealth of examples from around the world where cities are serving migrant populations well regardless of how immigration laws are enforced nationally. For example, more than a dozen cities in the UK and Ireland have adopted the City of Sanctuary principles developed by grassroots groups in Sheffield to build "a culture of hospitality" for refugees and asylum seekers who have landed in their midst.
Similarly, more than 100 local governments in Australia have pledged to foster "Refugee Welcome Zones" where newcomers are encouraged to share their culture. The U. S. city of New Haven launched an innovative municipal identification programme in 2007 to provide every city resident, even undocumented migrants, with a legal ID in order to make it easier to open a bank account or check out a book from the library. New York City later adopted that programme on a mass scale to serve almost one million people.
Europe, which has dealt with a severe migrant crisis over the past several years, has seen encouraging responses from cities even as European Union nations bicker over how to handle migrants. Mayor Ada Colau of Barcelona and Mayor Manuela Carmena of Madrid opened their arms to migrants and called on volunteers to welcome the newcomers, who responded with offers of housing and language lessons. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo offered migrants facilities vastly improved over France's squalid refugee camps. The city leaders' charitable efforts recently earned them a summit on cities' role in the migration crisis at the Vatican.
[See: Why Pope Francis keeps reaching out to mayors]
Earlier this month, the 2016 World Mayor Prize was given to ten European mayors who have responded proactively and humanely to the flood of migrants. From migrant transit points such as Lesbos, Greece, and Lampedusa, Italy, to final "receiving cities" such as Mechelen, Belgium, and Cologne, Germany, mayors were honoured for having "developed and invested in long-term strategies as well as day-to-day measures to successfully integrate newcomers from different countries and cultures."
However, there are still examples of current and former mayors who are more hostile to migration. Argentine President Mauricio Macrí, the former mayor of Buenos Aires, has called for a Trump-style ban and border wall. In December, Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba denounced undocumented migrants as "criminals", a stance credited with fueling recent anti-immigrant violence in South African cities.
But such cases are outliers in Turner's estimation. Globally, she says, "cities are a bright spot" that offer a counter-narrative to the tragic stories of ships full of refugees sinking and bodies washing up on Mediterranean beaches.
"It's because they understand what immigrants bring to their communities and how important they are to the local economy," Turner says. "Cities have had so much success with immigration. We need to see a greater voice for them up the policy ladder at the national level."

Seaside >> A new developer is waiting in the wings "to take over the golf course resort project and accelerate its construction" after the original developer tried for 12 years to get its Seaside Resort Development project completed.
"They quietly let it be known that they were interested in selling their entitlement," said Michael Lutton, chairman of Tieback Holdings, parent company of the proposed new developer. "We approached them and after several meetings … they elected to sell it to us."
Monterey Bay Resorts, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, is "aspiring" to be the new developer of the project, replacing Seaside Resort Development, LLC, of Arizona.
A joint special meeting of the Successor Agency and Seaside City Council is scheduled for Thursday at 5 p.m. in council chambers to consider authorizing actions on the Long Range Property Management Plan for Seaside Resort Development properties.
"Tieback Holdings (parent company of Monterey Bay Resorts, LLC) is the new developer. They'll develop a five-star hotel and resort, and they'll start sooner rather than later," according to Craig Malin, Seaside city manager, in an email.
Lutton said the development would include a high-end hotel, and though it would not be a Fairmont Hotel as was previously thought, "we're looking at international brands right now."
The Tieback chairman said the plan is also to invest in the golf courses to take them up a notch and make them tournament quality. The clubhouse will be torn down to make way for a bigger facility that includes a spa and matches the architecture of the hotel.
Construction will begin next October with the hotel, clubhouse/spa and condominiums going up. Lutton said the clubhouse/spa and the first of the condos would be done before the hotel, which will take a couple of years to complete. The homesites will be built later.
Lutton said it is important to get working on the hotel to create the value and establish the project as a world-class destination.
Seaside Resort at Monterey Bay would open no later than Dec. 31, 2021.
But first this week, the council and successor agency will consider the new resort development and disposition agreement which includes a transient occupancy tax sharing plan that will provide an estimate $72 million to the developer over 20 years while Seaside receives an estimated $61 million in non-land sale revenue. The $3.7 million in estimated annual revenue to the city goes up to $8.9 million after the TOT subsidy goes away, said Malin.
The new deal also authorizes the developer to purchase the Golf Clubhouse parcel for $650,000 and add it to the Resort Hotel land. In addition, it allows for the use of certificates of compliance to transfer hotel and golf clubhouse phases and requires the developer to purchases with cash, not credits, by Feb. 28.
The project includes Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Courses and the new golf course lease extends the lease term to 75 years, subject to the opening of the hotel, conforms the lease to 2007 Seaside Basin adjudication, reduces the maximum irrigation use from 540 acre feet per year to 500 afy, and it also authorizes a 2018 4th of July city fireworks display.
The Seaside City Council will consider a Second Amended and Restated Disposition and Development Agreement with Monterey Bay Resort, LLC, with the same purchase prices as the First Restated DDA, and a Second Amended and Restated Ground Lease for the Bayonet and Black Horse golf courses with Monterey Bay Resort, LLC.
According to Malin's email, "the city's also getting 40 acre-feet of water back in the short-term, and maybe more in the long term, and $15,000 a month until they start construction of the hotel. We can give a July 4th community fireworks show a try this next year and see if it goes well to continue it and, after the resort's open, there will be a $10,000 annual college scholarship for children of employees of the resort."
The city manager said the project would create more than 300 construction jobs and more than 350 full-time hospitality jobs once the resort opens.
In an report earlier this year, city officials said the project would cost around $30 million to construct not including the infrastructure designed to accommodate the entire project.
The original development company was headed by Donald Diamond and Donald Pitt, professional investors, real estate developers and business partners in various enterprises since the 1960s. Diamond's previous real estate tie to the area was the purchase of the SunBay apartment property in the mid-1990s when the Army closed Fort Ord.
The previous developers and the city of Seaside entered into a DDA in July 2005, paving the way for the former Army land to be transferred for development and construction on the luxury resort was to begin soon after.
The planned development was stalled "as a result of changed economic conditions that made financing of the planned hotel on normally acceptable economic terms infeasible" according to city documents.
"The important thing is the city wants to see a hotel built, that's our commitment and that's what we plan on doing," said Lutton.

In a speech at the American Bar Association, Â Hillary Clinton says that there is a new effort to obstruct voting "often undercover of addressing a phantom epidemic of election fraud" and takes issue with the Supreme Court's recent Voting Rights Act ruling.
Hillary Clinton offered some of her sharpest political rhetoric since stepping down as secretary of state on Monday when she roundly criticized stricter voter ID laws and a recent Supreme Court decision striking down a central component of the Voting Rights Act.
Clinton, who is viewed as a frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, decried a series of state laws enacted — often by Republicans — to tighten restrictions on who may vote in elections.
Clinton criticized a "sweeping effort to construct new obstacles to voting, often under cover of addressing a phantom epidemic of 'election fraud.'"
And she said that those laws have driven a disparity in access to the ballot, which Clinton claimed threatened to undermine the thrust of the Voting Rights Act, the historic, 1960s-era civil rights legislation.
"Now, not every obstacle is related to race, but anyone who says that racial discrimination is no longer a problem in American elections must not be paying attention," she said.
Clinton later urged her former colleagues on Capitol Hill to fix "the hole opened up by the Supreme Court's ruling," warning otherwise that "historical progress toward a 'more perfect union' will go backward, not forward."
Her remarks at times resembled a formal policy address delivered by candidates for office — a tantalizing glimpse of the presidential campaign many Democrats hope Clinton will mount come the next election.
To improve access to voting, Clinton also encouraged the Justice Department to more rigorously enforce voting laws left on the books, and urged Congress to pass legislation to replace portions of the Voting Rights Act struck down by the Supreme Court this June. She also urged fellow lawyers, gathered for the American Bar Association's annual meeting in San Francisco, to step up their own efforts on behalf of voting rights.
She also endorsed legislation to make voting easier in a variety of ways, for instance by working to reduce waiting times at polling places, and address disparities in access to voting.
The speech was one of the most overtly political steps taken by Clinton in the six months since she left the Obama administration to return to private life.
Moreover, Clinton said today's speech was a first in a series of remarks she'd deliver this year; the former New York senator said she would address transparency of national security programs next month, and speak to global issues this autumn.
The speeches help lay the groundwork for and outline the rationale for a potential Clinton presidential candidacy in 2016. She spoke to the barriers many communities have faced throughout U.S. history — an oblique reference to the possibility that her own candidacy might shatter the glass ceiling for women seeking the presidency.
"Despite our founding principles and the many ways our Constitution protects individual liberties, we do — let's admit it — have a long history of shutting people out. African Americans, women, gays and lesbians, people with disabilities," she said.

The War Department, Washington, D. C., has just announced in General Order Number 10, dated 3 March, 1943 that the advanced flying school Southwest of Seymour, Indiana, will be named Freeman Army Air Field, honoring the memory of an Hoosier, Captain Richard S. Freeman, who was killed in a bomber crash in Nevada early in the war.
Colonel E. T. Rundquist, commanding officer of the field, said the announcement had just been received here.
Captain Freeman, son of Ab Freeman of Winamac, Indiana, became famous for his "mercy flights" when he flew with Red Cross supplies to relieve earthquake sufferers in Chile in 1939. He later led a mercy mission to the leper colony near Molokai in the Pacific. Captain Freeman earned many honors. He was founder of, and at one time, Commandant of Ladd Field, Alaska.
He participated in the Good Will Mass flight of B-17 Flying Fortresses to Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1938, and later in the same year he piloted a similar ship from Langley Field to Bogota, Columbia. He flew with General Henry H. (Hap) Arnold on a mass flight of Martin bombers from Washington to Fairbanks, Alaska, and was a member of a crew flying a B-17 in filming the movie, "Test Pilot".
Captain Freeman was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for meritorious service in flying and the MacKay Trophy for outstanding achievements in aviation engineering.
Freeman was graduated from the United States Military Academy, West Point, N. Y., in 1930. Previously he had attended Notre Dame, South Bend, Indiana.
In commenting on his accomplishments, the 1942 West Point Yearbook said: "In addition to his rating as command pilot, navigator, pilot of multi-engine planes, he was also considered to be an expert bombardier". He had 6,000 hours of flying time.
Captain Freeman was killed 6 February 1941, when a "Flying Laboratory" he was piloting crashed near Lovelock, Nevada.

When it comes to installing fiber optic cabling to your network, it is important to remember that there are reasons why cables are run the way they are. A professional cabling company like Shoreworx Communications uses cable management systems. This goes for copper cabling (Category 5e, Category 6, etc), as well. When working on your network, it is imperative to follow standard procedures regarding where NOT to run cables. For example, you will not want to run your cables parallel with electrical cords as this can create interference, causing your transmissions to run slowly, or even not at all. You also do not want your cables hanging down and becoming spaghetti-like. This will take a lot of time to figure out which cable belongs where, even when labelled correctly, you will spend time untangling everything.
Shoreworx Communications uses horizontal as well as vertical cable managers. These are racks designed to hold cabling while routing it to the end user from your data room. We also use Velcro straps to help keep them even more organized. We use labels at each end of the cable in order to make any work done on your network easier.
Keeping your cables organized will not only make maintenance on them easier, but will also make them less of a hassle to clean while you are doing your recommended quarterly cleaning, as you do NOT want dust or debris of any kind to ever build up on your equipment.
Contact Shoreworx today to schedule your free site survey. We will meet with you on site to discuss your needs and help you determine which types of cable management system works best for your situation. We look forward to hearing from you!

A Dramatic Love Story
Their is one of the most incredible wedding stories we've ever heard — A tale of true romance and real dram so striking, it feels as though it's straight out of a storybook.
By Nicole Barley | Photography Courtesy Lynne Goldstein
Even after the groom's brush with near-tragedy prior to their engagement and a violent visit from Hurricane Ike the night before their nuptials, this remarkably easy-going couple pulled off the most peaceful and fantastic of fairytale weddings.
In the summer of 2006, Brian Yadouga, who owns a South Hills-based tree service, was involved in a life-threatening work accident. For a month, he was in secondary care at Allegheny General Hospital, placed in a drug-induced coma. Through the entire ordeal, Brian's girlfriend of two years, Amie Guarino, stayed lovingly by his side.
In the most dramatic fashion, Brian proposed the day after he awoke. As soon as he laid eyes on Amie, he knew there was only one thing to say. First though, he quickly made sure he had her father's approval. Completely surprised, Amie accepted. Later procured was an engagement ring, which Brian presented on Christmas Eve of that year.
Their plans for a late summer wedding, filled with flawless weather, went slightly askew, too. Months of landscaping outside the Guarinos' home were swept away when the landfall from Hurricane Ike tore through town. A damp drizzle kept up through the morning, however, the bride dared to brave the rain and met her groom for pre-ceremony pictures in the backyard of her parent's house.
Brian recalls another bump in the road on the way to the church — on what turned out to be a very hot, muggy day, the air conditioner in the limo was broken. "It was like a sauna in there," he laughs.
But when they wed on September 13, 2008, in a traditional Catholic ceremony at St. Louise DeMarillac Parish in Upper St. Clair, the clouds parted. "When I had walked Amie to the altar, the sun came out, and it was shining through the stained glass windows. It was pretty incredible," says Amie's dad, Lou Guarino.
The ceremony culminated in an outdoor dove release, which took flight after a few minutes of cajoling the stubborn birds. Amie, an animal lover, took it good-naturedly and was on her "hands and knees in [her] wedding dress, trying to get the doves to come out. Brian was helping too, but they were not budging."
They danced their first dance to "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls and then, following a sumptuous dinner of filet mignon and seafood cassoulet, No Bad JuJu had the dance floor of the Omni William Penn Hotel packed.
Along with a dish of raspberry sorbet cake from Jean-Marc Chatellier's French Bakery, 400 guests were treated to one of "Lou's Famous Homemade Cookies." The special treats, cooked up by Amie's father, were filled with chopped Sarris Candies' chocolates and chocolate-covered pretzels.
The most poignant part of the night for the pair was the video Amie's brother, Louie, who works for an online video production company in New York City, had prepared for the occasion. Entitled Amie and Brian: The E! True Hollywood Story — clearly befitting of their spectacular and romantic story — the show was "so amazing," she says. "It was actually the first time I started to cry that day."
Guests returned to the hotel's Urban Room at midnight for the after party. Primanti Brothers sandwiches and a sugary candy bar, stocked with all of Amie's favorites, fortified everyone for more dancing to 96.1 Kiss FM's DJ Scottro. Though it was planned to last until 2 a.m., the celebration carried on a little later. "It seemed like it all went really fast. I was so happy and excited — and just a little nervous, " says Brian.
The couple, who makes their home in Upper St. Clair, are planning a peaceful honeymoon in Cabo San Lucas this winter.
Something Old An antique pinky ring from her great-grandmother, for whom Amie is named.
Something New Her French-lace Monique Lhuillier gown was only the third dress she tried at Saks Fifth Avenue's bridal salon in New York City. She describes it as "plain, but really romantic. It was me." Find Monique Lhuillier frocks like Amie's at Anne Gregory for the Bride. 695 Washington Road, Mt. Lebanon. 412.531.3160.
Something Borrowed Jewelry, on loan from designer Penny Preville and her parents' store, Louis Anthony Jewelers, bedecked the bride. A diamond cuff, necklace, earrings, and a diamond-encrusted butterfly brooch, which she used as a hairpin in lieu of a more traditional tiara, added a spectacular punch of sparkle. Louis Anthony Jewelers, 1775 N. Highland Road, Upper St. Clair. 412.854.0310.
Something Blue A new tattoo! Two days before the ceremony, the bride had a "B" for Brian inked in blue on her hip.
The Event Planner — Tim Komen
Komen, owner of TK Events, used a sophisticated color palette of matte and metallic golds and dusty and vivid pinks. Gold chiavari chairs, tied with beaded sashes, were set at every table. The large guest list allowed Komen to employ three sets of distinct table linens fromMosaic — pink crush, princess bride, and pink rosette — and flower arrangements fromDonati's Florist. He best liked the eight-foot tall vases ringed with enormous clusters of roses and bursting with glittering gold twigs. Filling the stem of each vase were orchids, and miniature orchids dotted the branches.
Describe the day. "Amie wanted a fairy tale, her parents wanted an elegant affair, and Brian wanted a rockin' party," says Komen of the day that incorporated all three sets of wishes. "It was a beautiful, elegant, delicious, sexy, chic reception."
Favorite memory? "When Mr. and Mrs. Yadouga entered the ballroom to the Guns 'N Roses song, 'Welcome to the Jungle.' That really sums them up — they wanted to have fun."
The Mother of the Bride — Veronica Guarino
Amie's mom, Veronica, wowed in a purple silk Escada gown, with a train on each shoulder and an embroidered bodice. During the reception, she reveals, she ripped out the bustle so as to make it easier to dance and move around the packed ballroom, greeting guests.
Describe the day. "The ceremony was wonderful. I could see Amie and Brian at the altar smiling and laughing, and I knew my daughter was marrying somebody who I know will take care of her and she will take care of as well," she says. At the reception, Veronica was filled with emotion too. "Walking into the cocktail party, I was stunned by all of the guests there for our family's wedding. It was so overwhelming to have that many people who really care about our family to share in the celebration."
Favorite memory? "There were so many, but I think it was having all of my children, together as adults, and seeing how much they all love and care about each other."
The Father of the Bride — Louis Guarino
Many made the prediction that he was sure to cry during the ceremony — even Amie admits, "We were a little worried about him." However, the father of the bride kept his emotions in check and had nothing but "a big smile on [his] face the whole day." He was ecstatic again the next day, when he and Veronica entertained 105 guests in their home for Sunday morning brunch. It wasn't until Monday, he reveals, that he finally broke down in tears of joy.
Describe the day. "It was amazing to watch it all unfold. To see a whole year of planning come to fruition was amazing. There was such a feeling of joy that day, such an energy from start to finish. The wedding day was definitely a fairy tale. The only thing missing was the horse-drawn coach waiting outside the church, but my daughter, she refused," he says, laughing.
Favorite memory? Guarino most enjoyed the feeling of tranquility that came during the ceremony, it was a calmness, he explains, that had not accompanied the craziness of planning that led up to the main event. He cites his most memorable moment as walking his oldest daughter down the aisle and giving her away.
The Photographer — Lynne Goldstein
Wedding photographer Lynne Goldstein of Squirrel Hill's Goldstein Photography has captured countless nuptials on camera, but this wedding, she divulged, "was as pretty as they get."
Describe the day. "The setting was drop-dead gorgeous," says Goldstein, who took it all in from behind the camera. "The couple was very comfortable and very much in love."
Favorite memory? "Amie was one of my coolest brides ever — she went out in the rain to take her pictures," says Goldstein, of the "beautiful, very fun" bride who, "had her mind set on outdoor pictures. She lasted longer outside than my camera did." The drizzle didn't dampen the shots — taken before the ceremony in the backyard of the Guarino's Upper St. Clair home — one bit. "What's great is that when you shoot in that kind of weather, the colors are really vibrant."

This chart takes into account the total taxes, including "stealth" taxes (green and carbon taxes, for example) imposed by a country at all levels, national and local, as a share of GDP. It includes as well overall government spending, which will only get worse in reaction to the economic meltdown and contracting economies around the world. Some countries, such as Norway, are running large surpluses because of North Sea oil taxes. Others, such as France, are spending more than they're taking in. The resulting deficits are covered by public debt repaid through future taxes and stealth taxes. This breakdown is available only for OECD member countries (smaller than our Misery set) and uses the latest official 2008 data from the OECD for the year 2007, except where noted.
