Lessons Learned the Hard Way
Dale Peterson
After the transmission problem was resolved, our first real tour with Miss Daisy was a weekend trip to Joseph, Oregon with the Three Rivers Model T Club. Was it ever good to get behind the wheel, cruising the back roads with friends. Since we live between the Tri-Cities and Joseph, we met up with the tour at Westin, OR for breakfast. Then it was down the road with the first obstacle, Tollgate Hill.
Recently, we had gone on a one day tour with the Walla Walla Historic Auto Club to Fishhook Park. On the way, Miss Daisy had lost power and quit. After pulling to a stop, nothing could be found to explain this ocurance. A pull on the crank after a thorough examination and the engine roared to life and off we went to finish the trip.
Now back to the Joseph trip, all was going well until 3/4 up Tollgate Hill, Miss Daisy again lost power and came to a stop. With more hill to go and lunch waiting ahead, we accepted the indignity of being loaded on the trouble trailer. After a great meal, I just couldn't give up and not at least try to finish the trip with Miss Daisy. Mike Porter told me that the best way to find the answer to an intermittent T problem was to just keep on driving it and it would eventually make itself known. So when a pull on the crank all seemed well with good compression, on with the key and she fired up just fine. Well, she couldn't get off the vulture wagon quick enough. No more problems all the way to Joseph including two more fair hills. A side trip to Imnaha was taken in stride and it seemed Miss Daisy was doing just fine.
On the way back it was my turn to let Miss Daisy down. With all the distractions of the morning, I had forgotten to fill the gas tank. This time when Miss Daisy came to a halt going up hill, it was a sudden loss of power and the cause was quickly determined to be a lack of gasoline. But not to despair, one of the other drivers had a gallon for times such as this and we made it the remaining three miles to the pump at Enterprise. Only a little embarrassed, we were soon on our way back up Tollgate Hill. But nearly half way up, Miss Daisy again lost power and came to a halt. A little time on the side of the road and just like before, she started right up and continued up the hill. Only she lost power again in just a couple miles and this time when she stopped, it was with a notable drawn out metallic squeak. And also, this time after a short time, then a longer time, the crank was not going to budge. The rest of the group had gone ahead earlier and left Jim Langdon in his Model A behind to make sure we made it back OK. Out came a tow strap and Miss Daisy made it to the top of the hill where we could call our son Jay to bring the truck and trailer to rescue us.
Once home, it was again time to set the hood aside and get the hands greasy. Bill Sheller was planning a tour to the old Barlow Road and around Mount Hood in three months, and I was really looking forward to that trip. I was sure glad for that inspection plate on the bottom of the pan and the flat head that made it easy to get to the business end of the T engine. With the head off, it was obvious where the problem was. The number 2 cylinder was gouged pretty badly. With the upcoming tour getting closer, I made the decision to pull the one piston, remedy the problem as best I could and see if Miss Daisy would be ready in time. The rod bearings seemed to be just fine and it wasn't until the piston was out that I learned the source of the problem. The wrist pin had frozen and had actually welded itself to the aluminum piston. A hone removed all of the scrape marks except two that I could still feel with my fingernail (and see with my eyes). But, I really wanted to go on Bill's tour, so one new piston with rings installed, the job was finished with the thought that if it used too much oil, winter was a much better time to pull the engine and do a rebuild.
Just for good measure, dippers on the rod caps, a water pump, and an outside oil line was added. The cause of the failure? I'm not sure but I do know that 1) the engine had sat for over 20 years after rebuilding and the bearings were likely dry and 2) the long steep up hills out west leave the front of the engine without much oil from the splash oil system.
The decision must have been a good one because Miss Daily did just fine, climbing from bottom to top of the Columbia Gorge at least five times on the tour. And, she still does not smoke or seem to burn more than the normal amount of oil. So lessons learned this time? First, even though Henry made one of the most reliable cars of the time, he also did a good job of making a car that the average Joe could easily work on. Why else are there so many of them still around. Second, I sure love driving Miss Daisy!

Tourist attractions and historic sites and agencies will lose some or all of their state funding next year if the budget presented Tuesday night to the Alabama Legislature becomes law. Because of a drastic drop in state revenues, the Alabama Motorsports Hall of Fame, Alabama Music Hall of Fame, Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, Brierfield Ironworks, Historic Blakely State Park, Historic Chattahoochee Commission, Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park, and St. Stephens Historical Park were not included in the budget. Tourism director Lee Sentell said the proposed budget will cut the Alabama Tourism Department from this year's projection of $12 million to $6.9 million next year. "Given the circumstances, we will all have to trim our expenses to fit the revenues," he said. Gov. Robert Bentley was supportive of the tourism industry when he was a legislator and remains so today. "He even mentioned our industry twice during his inaugural address," he said.
Tourism agencies were not singled out for drastic cuts any more than other, larger agencies, said Sentell. He noted that the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA), the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries, the Department of Conservation & Natural Resources (general fund), Alabama Historical Commission, Alabama Department of Archives and History, the State Building Commission, the Governor's Contingency Fund, the Governor's Mansion and the Alabama Department of Industrial Relations were recommended for 45 percent cumulative cuts. Not even constitutional officers and the Legislature were spared from funding cuts. The budget recommends a 20 percent reduction from this year's budget for the Governor's Office, Finance Department, Lieutenant Governor, State Treasurer, Attorney General, Alabama Development Office and Secretary of State, among others.

Something Wicked This Way Comes
7:00 pm 29 March 2005
Authors like Salman Rushdie, I've written, are unable to write authentically in the vein of good wholesome simple answer philosophy because they write about complicated moral issues, complicated worlds, complicated resolutions. They deal with a very real world with very real difficulties.
Ray Bradbury is a different kettle of fish entirely. For the most part, Bradbury writes of a simpler moral universe, one in which there is starkly defined good and evil and there are people swayed in one direction or the other, sometimes both directions. This is true of the world that people vacillate from one pole to the other, but for most people there are precious few instances in which one meets face to face with Evil or Good in their purest incarnations.
It is precisely this kind of eternal struggle between Good and Evil that makes up a great deal of Bradbury's justly famous novel Something Wicked This Way Comes. Far more a morality tale than Farenheit 451 or The Martian Chronicles (the two other novels of comparable fame, the former being political, the latter a philosophical sci-fi take on the notions of the Other and man's essential isolation), Something Wicked distills the world into the two camps. These are represented in embryonic stage by the thirteen year olds Will Halloway and Jim Nightshade, and by Will's father Charles and the proprietor of a sinister traveling circus, Mr. Dark.
What's good in Bradbury's world is primarily childhood and the nostalgic view of it the author has, a reductive argument but not an uncommon view especially among writers of Bradbury's generation. Not that there aren't bad kids in his worlds, but they are usually run of the mill bullies or mama's boy snitches. They aren't bad, really, just misguided. Childhood is freedom and possibility and energy.
Pitted against them is the world of adults with its lack of imagination, its rules and strictures, its shutting down of vibrancy. Most adults aren't evil, simply tired and small-minded, but it is only adults who are Evil. Yet what's hidden in nearly all adults is that child in them, that elemental goodness that can be coaxed to rise to the surface and manifest itself in singing, dancing, and running. An adult's relative scale of goodness is often measured in how often or how easily this can be brought out or if it can show itself in a pinch.
Something Wicked has as its adult hero, Will's father, married to his much younger wife, lamenting that he is so much older than Will, too old for playing ball and other games. It is axiomatic that he will get in touch with his inner child, that inmost joyfulness before the book's over and definitely in time for the climax. Will is, of course, then our childhood hero. His best friend Jim is the novel's victim; wanting desperately to know the secrets of adulthood, he is tempted by Mr. Dark's circus, most especially by the calliope merry go round. One trip forward on this ride ages you a year; one trip backwards strips you of a year. The story of his temptation is the novel's tragedy.
To read this book is to feel a very specific nostalgia for childhood in general with its pat dichotomies, but also for a much more innocent childhood. I grew up in a small town (like Green Town in the novel), and I can easily recall when children were far less supervised, far less at risk, when you could slip out unnoticed of your house and run through the night while your parents slept, how you could cross town at a good running clip, breathless with excitement. And not only that, but here Bradbury catches with perfection that undeniable pull to sneak out of your house after dark, the illuminating illicitness of it that somewhere [b:on the road|6288|The Road|Cormac McCarthy|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21E8H3D1JSL._SL75_.jpg|3355573] to adulthood disappears. Tonight, I slide outside my house at 3am and it feels like nothing particularly special.
Part of what made it so hard to stick with the novel as written was the excellent film version I saw as a child. Without even closing my eyes, I can still see the spiders in the bed scene, an incident wholly invented for the film, yet clearly a creepy notion that lingered. Whenever Mr. Dark was in a scene, my mind instantly saw Jonathan Pryce; Will's father's face could be no one's but Jason Robards'.
Bradbury's book remains an enduring classic, though it leaves a great deal of the plot unresolved and not in that cool what-will-happen-next way, but in that did-he-forget-about-Miss-Foley way. And perhaps Bradbury's story is the most famous evil merry go round tale, but I've often wondered why death for a character only ever comes from aging in these stories. Why does a baddie never meet his end by regressing past childhood, past babyhood, back to fetus, then embryo, then blastocyst, to finally separate into component sperm and egg before drying out and crusting away?
As the kind of writer he is, ultimately a sentimentalist, Bradbury manages to somehow beg your indulgence as a reader and get it. He manages the neat trick of showing you what your critical faculties should describe as a big pile of corn, but which somehow you see as through a glass darkly as heaps of gold. I'm not certain how he does it; I was aware before I began listening; I was prepared for it; I fell for it anyway. It's fundamentally a conjuring act, the best literary sleight of hand going, and I can read the book ten times in a row and miss the moment it happens every time.

A little more than a decade after his initial inconvenient truths failed to come to fruition, former Vice President Al Gore released a sequel to the "documentary" largely responsible for creating the cult of global warming. But in spite of Inconvenient Truth 2, "Truth to Power," the only hot air many Americans sense is that coming from the climate obsessed left.
In fact, the past week hasn't really been a great one for folks who believe denizens of coastal cities ought to all be breathing through snorkels by now.
In a lengthy interview with a Los Angeles news outlet last week, Weather Channel founder John Coleman succinctly explained what the cult of global warming is all about: money and power.
Coleman made the statement as he decried San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer's Climate Action Plan, an economically unsustainable effort to punish residents and businesses for global warming no one has proven exists or, for that matter, is a product of the progress of man.
"I think he saw money and power, and I don't know what else he thought of it … I can't believe he really [felt he] was going to save the city from some terrible fate," Coleman said, adding the whole global warming farce "just turns my stomach."
The 82-year-old Weather Channel founder then offered this assessment of global warming alarmist projections: "San Diego's not going to go underwater. Period … Not in my lifetime or yours or our kids' lifetime. When the Earth ends in 4 1/2 billion years, it probably still won't have flooded."
He added: "The damn tsunami warning route signs that they put up all over the city [are] about as silly as anything I've ever saw in my life. The chance of a significant tsunami hitting Southern California is about as great as a flying saucer landing tonight at Lindbergh Field. It's just sheer nonsense."
Coleman is no stranger to battling global warming propaganda. On his personal blog, he's made a mission of overturning claims made via bad climate science– using his background knowledge of basic weather patterns and mass media manipulation to make some pretty solid points. It's worth a read.
"I'm just a dumb old skeptic — a denier as they call me — who ought to be jailed or put to death," he told MyNewsLA. "I understand how they feel. But you know something? I know I'm right. So I don't care."
Coleman, of course, isn't alone.
Another powerful argument against global warming conventional wisdom hit the web this week courtesy of alternative medicine expert Dr. Mark Sircus.
"Every prediction Gore has made has been wrong," he wrote, noting that the only organizations saying otherwise are those approved by the government and promoted by the press.
For Gore acolytes, read that as the power that needs to hear some truth.
But as Coleman noted, Sircus pointed out that anyone who dare dispute the establishment is quickly cut down.
He wrote: "Trump is just about the only politician in the world with the courage to stand up to all the lies about climate change. I would stop publishing so many essays on climate change if the press would let up on their global warming fraud but when I see their bold face lies an indignation arises in my belly. Even Trump dare not say a word more about climate change because they, the owners of all the mass media, would drown him, which they do anyway every day."
Throughout the rest of his essay, Sircus pointed out multiple examples of actual recent climate events that should raise big questions about the theory that the planet is headed for its hottest days.
Based on the evidence he gathered, the doctor said he belies the opposite is true because of a phenomenon which has no relationship to how man behaves on planet earth.
He wrote: "Solar cycles typically last 11 years and during that time, the north and south magnetic poles flip. It looks a lot like a heartbeat when graphed out. We are currently in Cycle 24.
"The solar scientists say that the latest model shows the Sun's magnetic waves will become offset in Cycle 25, which peaks in 2022. Then, in Cycle 26, solar activity will fall by 60 per cent."
Bottom line: Either global warming is a terrifying reality that should concern us all to the point of making major lifestyle changes; or it's an effort in social engineering to encourage the masses to accept more government restriction and regulation without question.
Based on millionaire Gore's greenhouse gas heavy lifestyle, I'm going with the latter.

Two very important positions are at hand this year and candidates should be reviewed by everyone, but more importantly, we need to look at the directions being taken by candidates. Here are the issues I have on my plate. How about you?
Issues to be considered by The Woodlands Residents
(2) Bring back intersection cameras. People are getting worse and worse about running red lights and police car enforcement helps for only a couple of weeks at most. Speeding should also be enforced. People routinely traveling at 15+ over the limit is ridiculous and police have no place to pull cars over and ticket them. County and The Woodlands
(3) Noise analysis and prevention on our roads is a must. The Woodlands and county
(4) Strategic road planning needs to honor neighborhood design and avoid resident discomfort. County.
(5) Safety of local schools. School Boards.
(6) The Woodlands need to be incorporated to get the county out of control and water management part of the government. We have outgrown the individual water well systems. Representatives are now elected by the good old boy method in a separate election that few people participate in. The Woodlands.

Sermon preached at Goodwin House, Alexandria, VA on November 19, 2017
24th Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 28) Year A, RCL: Zephaniah 1: 7, 12-18; Ps. 90:1-8, (9-11), 12; 1Thessalonians 5:1-11; Matthew 25:14-30
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in us the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit, and we shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the earth. Amen.
Almost 30 years ago now, the then assistant to the rector at Grace Church, Russell Road here in Alexandria, took the reins of my Education for Ministry (EfM) class after our rector had been elected bishop in Oklahoma. [That bishop is Bob Moody, and he and his wife Lance, are moving into Goodwin House Alexandria sometime in the coming months.] Grace's assistant rector was Mary Sulerud (some of you may know or remember Mary; she and I served together at Immanuel Church-on-the-Hill in 2012-2013.) It was Mary who provided our EFM class with an exercise to create a personal one-sentence prayer. It invited us to 1) consider how we saw God using a superlative and a title; 2) how we viewed ourselves; and 3) what it was that we sought through prayer. Knowing there would be times when praying would be hard and less than forthcoming, this short prayer is always there for me, if needed, to begin talking with God. My individual prayer still is: "Almighty Father, your Seeking Servant prays for Guidance."
So, I wonder: How do you see God? What title would you give or what superlative might you pick for God? Is it a God of grace, God of glory kind of understanding? How is God known to you? Present or distant? Gracious or stern? And How are you known to God? Are you committed and "all in" or just mildly involved and somewhat lacking interest?
Almost half of Jesus' parables have to do with money or commerce. But money is only the presenting metaphor. These parables speak of abundant life. In today's story a rich man is about to go on a long journey. But before departing, the master entrusts his money to three servants. He gives five talents to one, two to another, and one to the third servant. And lest you think that that third servant was seriously short changed, I should note that his one talent was a huge amount of money.
Upon the master's return, we learn the first two servants doubled the amount they received. However, the third servant was fearful, so he buried his one talent so as not to lose it. There was no increase. On a deeper level, this parable is not about money. It's about taking what God has given to us, to work with it, without fear, being willing to take a risk.
This parable focuses primarily upon that third servant. Gifts that are not used are lost. The title "talents" is unfortunate, in that in our language we use the word "talent" to refer to natural aptitudes or abilities that people have. Today when we speak of a "talented" musician, artist or athlete, we hark back to this parable. But a talent in Jesus' time was a valuable sum of money. Consulting the New Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible (Vol. 5 [S-Z], Abingdon Press: Nashville, 2009), a talent is A LOT! It is a monetary unit roughly equivalent to 6,000 drachmas, which is a sum greater than 16 years wages for a daily laborer. Because of this parable, the word talanta or talanton from the Greek transliterated to "talent," thus acquiring a different meaning.
The talent in this story was a weight, and its value depended on whether the object weighed was copper, silver, or gold. In the gospel account, talents were given to the several servants according to their "abilities." Here it would be best to interpret the talents as opportunities. And in the parable each servant is given opportunity according to ability and is expected to serve faithfully. This is a parable on responsibility.
Consider the thinking of the servant who buries his talent. Imagine digging a hole for something that you want to keep safe there. Where are you burying it? What are you afraid of losing? Why do you have trouble risking or trusting to the care of others?
This story on accountability suggests the gift and the responsibility for it were commensurate. At the Master's return there is an accounting from each servant. The servants who took five and two talents respectively took risks; they applied themselves actively in their responsibility. The response of the Master carries a note of eschatological joy; the "good and faithful" servants enter the joy of their Master. But the unfaithful servant who acted in fear thought only of himself and his own security; he risked nothing and thereby achieved nothing.
When the unfaithful servant opens his mouth, it becomes evident that he was not interested in the Master's cause or advantage but rather in saving his own skin. One who cannot venture his own person cannot take risks for the sake of his Lord! He was judged according to his conduct. What was given was taken away; "for whosoever shall save his life shall lose it ..." The story closes with the language of destruction in outer darkness – the symbol of the anguish of ultimate separation.
Putting this lesson into context, Jesus told this parable days before giving up his life for all of us on the cross at Calvary. The act of self-giving communicates how far God will reach out to us to share love and care with and for us forever. Jesus' life and ministry was to proclaim the Good News, to feed the hungry, to heal the sick, to raise up the downtrodden, to offer forgiveness, and to welcome all who believe into the Kingdom of God. Through his death, resurrection, and ascension, we are shown life that is stronger than death, and love that is more powerful than hate.
This is a parable about who God is, who we are called to be, and the value of investing: in God, in ourselves and one another, and in the Kingdom. This parable speaks of the call to each of us to take assets belonging to God, our Master and Creator, to act in mission and ministry through this Church, to this world. Stewardship is everything we do after we first proclaim, "Yes, I believe.' And if we truly believe that all we have comes from God, then what we have individually, church buildings and chapel spaces, apartments and health care facilities, and all the assets and resources here at Goodwin House, to include the entire universe as we know it, are not ours; they're God's! And God gave them to us to use.
Knowing this about God should inform our daily life and our communal living together as the people of God. God does not value our "playing it safe." We are encouraged to take initiative, to step out in faith, and to go out and risk. What God requires of us is not success, but our faithfulness.
The key to understanding is a recurring theme of the Gospel of Matthew - that damnation may lie in the direction of a lack of trust in the divine. Put more specifically, we are being encouraged not to remain where we already are, but to venture out recklessly with Christ and for Christ. Returning to the modern usage of the word 'talents,' the point is to allow God to use this handsome investment in us to gain a considerable dividend. For the harvest is ripe, yet the workers are few.
French scientist and theologian Pierre Teilhard de Chardin sums it up nicely in his book "The Divine Milieu." He wrote:
"God obviously has no need of the products of your busy activity since he could give himself everything without you. The only thing that concerns [God], the only thing [God] desires intensely, is your faithful use of your freedom and the preference you accord [God] over the things around you. Try to grasp this: the things that are given to you on earth are given to you purely as an exercise, a 'blank sheet' on which you make your own mind and heart. You are on a testing ground where God can judge whether you are capable of being translated to heaven and into [God's] presence. You are on trial so that it matters very little what becomes of the fruits of the earth, or what they are worth. The whole question is whether you have learned how to obey and how to love."
This parable is about Trust. No instructions were given to the three servants. Considering what they thought they knew about their Master, the servants acted differently. Their understanding determined their action or lack of action. The talents left with them represent an absurd sum, a great value, a treasured gift. Such abundance commands authority, responsibility and accountability. We are all stewards of that which is the Master's Church in this time and the time yet to come.
Each of us in the kingdom of heaven is given a certain number of gifts and opportunities to serve God. We can either waste those opportunities or invest them in a way that furthers the Kingdom of God here on earth. God gave us talents. We are supposed to do something with them.
Our calling is a reciprocity of abundance. Out of the reality of God's generosity and grace comes responsibility for more and greater things. Be faithful and trust in the God who loves you. Be active and fruitful to do the work God shares with us. And if you're uncertain what to do – risk boldly and join me in my prayer – Almighty Father, your Seeking Servants pray for Guidance.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Three quarters of councils are switching off or dimming streetlights
Posted on December 26, 2014 by Admin
22 December 2014: "Of Britain's 5.7 million streetlights 558,000 now being shut off at night, an eight fold increase on 2010, figures show. According to a major survey of the 141 of the 150 councils in charge of lighting Britain's streets 50 have switched some lights off altogether, 98 councils have decided to dim at least some streetlights. Overall 106 of the 141 councils, doing one or the other, or both figures obtained by Labour Party from FOI requests reveal."

North London Green Deal Funding
Posted on March 4, 2014 by Admin
4 March 2014:Welcome announcement today from DECC that the first tranche of funding to local authorities from the Green Deal Communities Fund includes an unspecified amount to "6 north London boroughs led by Haringey".
No details have been released as yet in relation to the Mayor's bid to the fund with 7 London boroughs: Barking and Dagenham, Havering, Greenwich, Kingston, Redbridge, Sutton and Wandsworth (see here and here for more details) – however, this was only submitted to DECC in late December. The Mayor is also supporting a bid "led by LB Camden which will drive take-up of Green Deal within the private rented sector."
Following the announcement on 2 December 2013, there is now £80 million of capital funding available under the Fund.

Local authorities are taking charge of their energy supply…
Posted on February 18, 2014 by Admin
February 2014: Useful Guardian online web discussion on how 'Local authorities are taking charge of their energy supply, so what can we learn from projects so far? Good level of London contributions to the debate, including representatives from Hackney, Haringey and Repowering London. Worth a quick read!

Barking & Dagenham most energy efficient local authority in UK
Posted on November 10, 2013 by Admin
November 2013: A news release from Imperial College highlights a recent study examining the energy consumption of all 198 urban local authorities in the UK, including 33 boroughs in London. Dr James Keirstead has developed a "new method that draws on three different measures of energy efficiency, currently used by city planners, to create the ranking. The aim was to find the fairest methodology for determining energy efficiency that could give planners an improved way of spotting best practice, leading to more energy efficient and sustainable policies in the future."
"The London boroughs of Barking and Dagenham and Hackney topped the league table of all UK urban areas analysed in the study…This may be because both are low income areas, equating to lower energy usage. Residents of those areas are also more reliant on public transport and these boroughs lack energy-intensive manufacturing and commerce, which may also be other factors that explain why consumption is lower."
The news report is a very short summary of a detailed research paper published by Dr Keirstead in technical journal Energy Policy (which unfortunately has a price tag associated with downloading the paper). The table from the paper providing a ranking of UK local authorities by average energy efficiency score is reproduced below:
Other London boroughs within the top 10 are Hackney, Merton, Redbridge and Kingston. Oddly, the top two ranked London councils are both within inner London, however, the remaining three in the 10 are all suburban local authorities.
Local authorities in England have now reported to Government on energy efficiency activities in their area in HECA update reports – for more of which, see here.

DECC HECA Research
Posted on November 9, 2013 by Admin
November 2013: All English local authorities were required to submit an updated Home Energy Conservation study report to DECC by 31 March 2013. An earlier post goes into these requirements in more detail and provides links to the report from those London boroughs who had posted them online on their website.
DECC have now published research summarising around 245 of these reports (see the Excel spreadsheet on the following link) as well as a document providing links to all reports published online. See both here. Only 20 London boroughs reports are however summarised on the spreadsheet. The HECA list states that some London boroughs have still not submitted reports: these appear to be Barking & Dagenham, Brent, Lambeth and Southwark.
It's unclear if Bexley, Islington and Merton have submitted reports, as no links are listed – though the list does not say explicitly set out that these reports have not been provided: however, their actions are also not summarised on the spreadsheet.

Brixton Energy on the Beeb
Posted on November 9, 2013 by Admin
November 2013: The recent BBC London coverage of the Brixton Energy solar schemes can now be viewed on Youtube here. The new piece includes interviews with Brixton Energy and Repowering London Director Agamemnon Otero and Labour Council Leader of Lambeth, Lib Peck.
Cllr Peck states in her interview that local authorites should be looking to work on similar projects in their own areas but it will be about the will of councils to say they want to make these projects happen and get rid of the challenges and obstacles.

Licence Lite Update
Posted on October 27, 2013 by Admin
October 2013: There has been little news recently on progress being made for the first 'license lite' license to be awarded – however – discussions do continue and below some recent references to the initiative are gathered together.
First, DECC's Community Energy – Call for Evidence paper published in June 2013 covered the issue stating:
"96. Community renewable electricity projects typically sell their electricity through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), whereby an energy supply company agrees to buy electricity from a generator over a fixed period of time at a fixed rate. For community electricity generators it can be difficult to negotiate with large energy supply companies. Aggregators such as Smartest Energy have in the past helped community groups overcome this hurdle. We also recognise that the move from the Renewables Obligation to the Contracts for Difference (CfDs) is a significant one and that the structure of PPAs will need to change, to reflect the changes to the risk profile and the structure of CfDs. The Government has initiated a process to support the market in preparing for the CfD in order to speed this transition and reduce costs.
97. Another route to market for community-generated electricity is Licence Lite, a new form of electricity supply licence, which was proposed by Ofgem in February 2009. The purpose of the licence is to enable smaller scale electricity generators to overcome the costs, risks and complexities of operating in the electricity supply market. If successfully implemented, it will enable them to supply electricity into the retail electricity market and earn a higher market rate than at present for the power they produce.
98. Although no Licence Lite has yet been granted, initial applications have recently been made, including by the Mayor of London, through the Greater London Authority. We hope this will help resolve some of the issues around selling community-generated electricity, and we will be keen to see what evidence comes out of these cases."
And two recent workshops also provided some information on the background to Licence Lite. At Ofgem's community energy workshop held in September, Ofgem officials provided a short presentation on the basic benefits of being 'License Lite'. And law firm Nabarro – who have undertaken significant work in this area for the GLA – held an event in July with a strong focus on licence lite where a helpful presentation was provided by the GLA providing information of their work to date and anticipated further actions. Some previous posts also go into further detail.

City Power Play: 8 Ways Local Energy Policies Can Boost the Economy
Posted on October 13, 2013 by Admin
October 2013: Really interesting new report by US-based organisation, the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, describing how "dozens of cities are boosting their local economies while dramatically reducing greenhouse gases". City Power Play: 8 Practical Local Energy Policies to Boost the Economy provides case studies on various US cities which have used the following routes to help promote energy efficiency and renewables through the following actions:
- Municipal utilities
- Community choice aggregation
- Building energy codes
- Building energy use disclosure
- Local tax authority
- Solar mandates
- Permitting
- Local energy financing
A lot to learn from this excellent analysis, which can be downloaded here.

Using Local Powers to Maximise Energy Efficiency Retrofit Toolkit
Posted on August 16, 2013 by Admin
August 2013: CAG Consultants on behalf of the GLA have developed a new toolkit – Using Local Powers to Maximise Energy Efficiency Retrofit Toolkit – "to help London's councils identify and implement solutions to help attract investment and delivery for energy efficiency measures. It focuses on three commonly cited challenges: planning, data and logistics." The report highlights that:
- The opportunity for energy retrofitting in London's housing is immense: more than one in five of the U.K.'s solid walled homes are in the capital, as well as 14 per cent of England's fuel poor homes.
- Energy efficiency projects can regenerate entire communities, drive up housing values and engage residents in wider issues of sustainability
- Retrofitting also provides an opportunity for pioneering local authorities to get an edge in the growing energy efficiency market and generate local jobs.
- London has the highest proportion of properties in conservation areas of any UK city – around 500,000 properties. For these properties, planning permission is required for most works which change the external appearance of the property.
The guide provides some helpful references to planning guidance issued by Camden (also see here and here for further information) and Haringey to help support energy efficiency retrofit measures such as solid wall insulation. A further barrier often faced by retrofit programmes has been identifying the most vulnerable homes that would benefit from increased levels of insulation as a priority, and the report provides some useful information on data-sharing initiatives undertaken by Southwark and Haringey councils, working alongside colleagues in housing and benefits teams, to help overcome this [p 27-30].

Are London Health & Wellbeing Boards taking fuel poverty seriously?
Posted on July 30, 2013 by Admin
July 2013: The Health and Social care Act 2012 established new Health and Wellbeing Boards for each top tier and unitary authority. These operated in 'shadow form' over the period 2012-13 taking on full statutory functions from April 2013. The boards have strategic influence over commissioning decisions across health, public health and social care and a new Age UK report has conducted research to "determine whether the newly formed Health and Wellbeing Boards in England are taking fuel poverty as seriously as is needed."
The report sets out that : "Every available Health and Wellbeing Strategy published before March 2013 was looked at to determine the influence of fuel poverty on the priorities set by each Health and Wellbeing board. The results are based on the 122 Health and Wellbeing Strategies that were available, and show that
- More than half of the Health and Wellbeing Boards appear to be side-lining issues surrounding fuel poverty altogether.
- Only 4% seem to be doing as much as possible to help combat fuel poverty within their local community.
- Some Boards consider fuel poverty in their community to be decreasing. This could be because they are using figures from 2010, an unusual year when (against the trend) the number of fuel poor households decreased, and before the subsequent round of high fuel price increases. These figures are now outdated and incorrect."
Each Health and Wellbeing Strategy available was given a rating of between 1 and 5 (indicating poor to excellent respectively). Of the five example strategies examined and given the worst rating (1), two London local authorities are highlighted – Ealing and Waltham Forest. Worryingly, page 6 of the report sets out the 122 strategies examined, a further 12 London boroughs are rated (1): Barnet, Brent, Bromley, Camden, Hackney, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Islington, Kensington & Chelsea, Lewisham, Merton, Newham.
The City of London, Croydon, Greenwich, Haringey, Harrow, Kingston, Sutton, Westminster are rated (2). Havering and Wandsworth are rated (3). A few boroughs appear to have been omitted from the table on page 6 – but are referenced in the Appendix on page 19. Barking and Dagenham actually scores the highest with a (4), Redbrige a (3), Richmond (2), and Tower Hamlets (1). Strategies for Bexley, Enfield, Hammersmith & Fulham and Lambeth were not available to the survey team. Page 19 also mentions that Southwark's stategy could not be found.
The results are highly surprising, rating some London local authorities which have significant fuel poverty programmes in place very low (Islington being the most obvious – with its award-winning SHINE programme – which is now also being utilised by Hackney), suggesting that the consultation process that took place to establish these strategies failed to engage properly with relevant officers delivering such services. The Mayor has recently responded to some questions to him regarding his role in raising energy issues to the new Health and Wellbeing Boards – highlighting some recent work undertaken by the London Climate Change Partnership and stating that further guidance 'bespoke environmental guidance for the 33 health and wellbeing boards in London is curently being drafted (see here and here). Details of the new London Health Board, also critical to this discussion, can be seen in an earlier post here.
National Energy Action (NEA) held an excellent event earlier this year in Southwark – Achieving public health outcomes on fuel poverty and excess winter deaths – which looked at how health management is being devolved to local authorities and how fuel poverty needs to be integrated in these new strategies. Presentations from the seminar are available here.

HECA & London
Posted on July 29, 2013 by Admin
July 2013: Last year the Government issued new guidance, issued under the Home Energy Conservation Act (HECA), requiring all (English) local authorities to publish a report by 31 March 2013 setting out their plans to achieve improved energy efficiency. Before looking at how London boroughs responded to this new requirement, it helps to have a quick look back to how this all came about…
Following a short limited release consultation in June 2012 – DECC published its new guidance on 26 July 2012 for local authorities (or – as the guidance states – to English Energy Conservation Authorities) with Minister Greg Barker stating in the accompanying press release that:
"This new robust guidance will support and encourage all local authorities to realise the significant benefits of upgrading homes. The Green Deal will be a fantastic tool to help with this, and I look forward to hearing how local authorities are using it to enable people to save energy and money."
"A well developed report in response to HECA, highlighting key opportunities, will help attract potential funding partners to work with the authority and other local community groups and stakeholders to the benefit of local residents and businesses."
A Local Government Association briefing note produced shortly after provides some useful background on the guidance requirements.

IMF point to local authorities to support recovery
Posted on May 22, 2013 by Admin
22 May 2013: Interesting to see that today's International Monetary Fund (IMF) statement United Kingdom—2013 Article IV Consultation Concluding Statement of the Mission – includes the following recommendation to the Chancellor:
"Investment in infrastructure, notably in transport and energy, could be supported by streamlining the planning application process and removing regulatory uncertainty. To accelerate the implementation of infrastructure projects, more authority over planning decisions should be devolved to local authorities, with financial incentives provided through greater revenue sharing."
Further information on the IMF's findings can be found on the following press release – U.K. Should Restore Growth, Rebalance Economy.

text:
Daniel Hatchid (다니엘 해치드, Daniel Haechideu) is a D-rank[2] Scout who is affiliated with and is highly valued by FUG.[3] Daniel came on the Hell Express with the initial aim of reviving Roen by helping Hoaqin become 'complete' again. After betraying Hoaqin, joining Viole's side and meeting Hoaqin's final clone, Daniel tearfully comes to terms with and acknowledges Roen's fate.
Daniel challenged the Hell Express twice before the current time. On his first attempt, Aka Williams,[4] Boro,[5] Sachi Faker[4] and Roen were his teammates[4] and, during their time on the Train, an unknown Slayer candidate gradually killed everyone onboard the Hell Express until, in the end, they were the only ones left.[6] However after Roen ended up dying, he and the others forfeited the train.[6] Daniel then got on the Hell Express a second time, over two centuries ago, in an attempt to resurrect Roen and apparently died there.[5][4] The place he went to afterwards seemed like hell to him too, but he found a way to restore Roen to life there.[4] It was at this place that he met Hoaqin; at some point afterwards, Daniel allowed Hoaqin to inscribe a token on to him, making Daniel one of Hoaqin's kind, a being who seeks souls.[7]
Appearance and Personality
Daniel is a guy of average height, fair skin, spiked brown hair and alluring blue eyes. He is also lightly freckled and has sharp canines. From the parts of his body that have been seen from underneath his clothing, band-like tattoos can be seen around his arms and on his neck. Underneath his brown cloak he is seen to be wearing at least blue trousers or jeans.
Somewhat sadistic, Daniel likes to kill an even number of people and even set up every corpse in a neat line afterwards. Being a member of FUG, he doesn't care if he kills someone but seems to admire the strength of Regulars such as Koon Ran.[8] He tends to call Regulars that are new to the Hell Express, "newbies". He is also a self-proclaimed "being of a lie" and apparently he cannot live on if he doesn't tell a lie.[3] To this end he has a trollish nature that causes him to tell lies from time to time.

Tower of God: Part 2 - The Return of the Prince
Tower of God: Part 2 - The Hell Train
As Apple confirmed that it would be better to get on the train, Daniel bluntly tells them it was obvious as it wouldn't work unless it was "that place". He then said they were all destined to get on the train and finished by warning the "little kids" that the journey to the train was more dangerous than they thought but he didn't think there was anyone there who would have a hard time getting a Ticket by oneself.
Revolution Road
On a private train to Train City, Daniel finished cutting the throats of the Regulars on board he complained about never getting an even number. He then got a call on his Pocket asking where he was and what he was doing but he said not to worry as he always got things done for sure. Daniel then told the person calling him to tell Rachel he would meet them as soon as he had taken care of one thing first before ending the call. As the train neared Train City, he mused that the tournament would be fun.Later, he interrupted Koon Ran's fight with Mirotic by blocking the gatekeeper's attack. He then introduced himself to Ran and mentioned that there were interesting newbies this time round before then explaining about Mirotic as well as his function to protect the gate until it was time for the Hell Express to depart. He then asked if Ran would be participating in the tournament and after Ran confirmed he would be, Daniel said it was interesting as he too would be participating in the tournament. Ran then told him that he didn't care whether Daniel was participating or not and the latter replied that he should because if he competed, none of them would stand a chance at getting any Tickets. An annoyed Ran then got ready to fight but Daniel appeared next to him before he even realised and told him to wait as he would feast upon them all soon. He then left, telling Ran's team that he would see them at the tournament. When the tournament had started, Daniel travelled with Rachel's group to the Entrance floor where he told them he would take them to the place where the Hell Express was located. Angel then called him out for not telling them that the tournament was fake and he replied that he was a liar and couldn't live on if he didn't tell lies. He then confirmed that he would take them to the Hell Express before preparing an attack that he blasted at Mirotic. As the smoke from the attack cleared, revealing an unharmed Mirotic, Daniel told them not to let their guard down as the gatekeeper launched a spear-like energy attack in their direction. He blocked the initial attack with three Lighthouses but was then hit from the side by three more blasts, however he still came out unscathed. Angel then asked him how he was going to beat the gatekeeper and Daniel explained Mirotic's function to protect the train and also his illusory nature. Cassano then asked how one could kill an illusion and Daniel curtly replied that he thought that Cassano's left arm was capable of killing an illusion, leaving Cassano silenced. However Daniel said he would take on Mirotic himself before charging up to massive spheres of shinsoo. As Mirotic prepares his second spear, Daniel mentally spoke that this time he would never run away from "Roen" again, before exclaiming that he had returned to the train and launching his attack which clashed mightily with Mirotic's own. His eyes then widen as Mirotic's attack broke through his own, sending up a huge cloud of smoke. As the smoke cleared the other members of Rachel's group noticed that Mirotic had disappeared before seeing Daniel standing there with a remote in his hand. Angel frustratedly asked him what happened and he casually told her that he turned the gatekeeper off using the remote he got from the new Hell Express captain. He then added that although he could turn of the gatekeeper of the gate it wouldn't work on the train, so they had to be careful. Angel then questioned him as to why they went through all that and he replied that he lied and it was all acting. He then told them all it was time to go as he opened the gate to the real platform of the Hell Express. There they all encountered a red mechanical bird that told them it would lead them up the spiral stairs to the Hell Express and, once at the top, they witnessed the immense size of the train. Seeing a gate open on the train, Daniel mentioned that if they entered through that door, things could get complicated. Just then Poro Poe arrived and welcomed Daniel, after mentioning he was worried that Daniel might have got hurt fighting the gatekeeper. Daniel said his hello and told him he gave up during the fight. Poro then asked where Ha Yura was and Daniel said she would be arriving in a moment before Poro added that they would leave once she had arrived. Suddenly, Rachel head a loud noise coming from down below and Daniel theorised that someone might be coming to try and stop them before saying that he would go down to check it out.
When Daniel got to the bottom of the staircase he encountered Baam, Hwa Ryun and Ha Yura. He introduced himself to them all and told them he was Yura's collaborator as well as Rachel's comrade. The latter statement sparked Baam's immediate interest and he exclaimed that he needed to see her causing Daniel to recognise that he was "Jyu Viole Grace". Daniel then challenged Baam to a match: if Baam won then Daniel would give him his controller that would turn off the gatekeeper. Baam agreed and, after Yura raced off with Hwa Ryun chasing her, the two started fighting. Daniel was initially on top, but the tables turned ever so slightly when Baam attacked with a multitude of mixed and merged martial arts strikes. After being asked why he wanted to get on the train, Daniel gave a simple reply before reasserting his dominance after revealing his special ability. He then told Baam of the events that would come to pass before saying that it was the end for him. In retaliation, Baam activated the Thorn, intimidating Daniel with its sheer power.
However before Baam could attack, Boro appeared and was shocked by Daniel's presence. Daniel minced words with Boro and then turned to leave after receiving a message about the train being ready to depart with Baam and Boro chasing after him. Daniel reached Angel and told her they were being chased by the Slayer candidate. Daniel then watched as Baam took out one of her metalfish with his ability. As if things couldn't get worse, Aka appeared with a group of Regulars and audibly questioned how Daniel could still be alive since he died on the train. Daniel confirmed the rumour and told them he had found a way to resurrect Roen by bringing back "that guy", which visibly alarmed both Boro and Aka. He then finished by chastising the two (and Sachi) for fleeing when Roen died before destroying the stairs with a powerful attack, preventing them from following.
He and Angel eventually reached the platform with Baam coming up behind them. As Baam saw Rachel again, Daniel noticed and wondered what the relationship between them was as well as noting that Ha Yura was heading into the train. Poe then asked him what the hell was going on but Daniel told him to shush before telling him to get the navigator ready so they could escape once Yura opened up the door to the train. Poe was uncertain at first but eventually went with the idea while Daniel started to move away with Rachel so they could escape. However Baam raced over and struck Daniel from behind with a devastating shinsoo-augmented punch, flooring him instantly. With his legs disabled from the attack and Koon trying to trap Rachel, Daniel used his special ability to heal his legs before nullifying Koon's Lighthouse prison. With Poe bringing the navigator over, Daniel and Rachel got on and started to fly towards the open door of the train where they eventually got inside the Hell Express after Rachel pushed Baam away.
Once inside the Hell Express, Yura asked about the 'sparkling road' and Daniel explained that it was "Revolution Road" and explained its history.
Daniel defeating the last of the train guardians alongside the Mad Dog. The latter noted that his legs had healed and Daniel confirmed so adding that he could recover as long as he had enough souls. He then said that it will be daytime very soon in the train and exclaimed for Hoaqin to wait for them.
He later got stuck when faced with a maths puzzle preventing them from moving forwards. Using Hwa Ryun's knowledge they passed the puzzle and moved into the room where the first part of Hoaqin was sealed. However they were attacked by Bloomer guardian but managed to beat him using Hwa Ryun's help once again. With the guardian down, Daniel freed Hoaqin and the group introduced themselves to him. After that, they left and ran into Ja Wangnan and Yeon Yihwa but after a brief altercation that left Wangnan with a serious injury, they were captured on Daniel's direction. The group later completed the 36th Floor stage test of the Hell Express.
Wooden Horse
In the lounge of the Hell Express, Hoaqin complained to Daniel about his hunger as well as discussing their mutual surprise about what happened in their pasts. When the train announced it would be arriving at the 37th Floor station, Hoaqin said he'd now be able to eat but Daniel told him to be patient. Hoaqin ignored Daniel's plea, saying there was lots of souls waiting for him.
When the train finally arrived Hoaqin tried to exit the train but Daniel stopped him telling him he was bound to the train by his contract with the Guardian. Rachel then appeared with Ha Yura and told them that it wasn't a problem as they had attracted many Regulars with Emile. At that the four came out of the train and Hoaqin announced the event for Regulars to get on the train: behead four other Regulars. Some of the Regulars complained until Hoaqin showed them his incredible power with a devastating attack. Two confident Regulars from FUG then said they'd take his challenge and also his head, getting Hoaqin interested. Hoaqin then changed the rules and told everyone to behead the two FUG Regulars instead, however the two easily subdued everyone and said they'd come for him next. Hoaqin laughed and exclaimed that everyone should remember his great power as he attacked with an incredibly destructive shinsoo blast that annihilated a large number of the Regulars down below, including the two FUG Regulars.
Because no-one decided to climb the stairs to the train, Hoaqin decided to go back inside until he saw Boro racing towards the train. While Hoaqin raged madly, Daniel noted their appearance. After lightning rained down unexpectedly and three people landed on the opposite set of stairs, Hoaqin went to attack but his sword was blocked by Jyu Viole Grace. As the two began their fight, Daniel blasted away Rak and hopped over to the other set of stairs before telling them all he wouldn't let them on to the train. Daniel then told them that they would take control of the train until Hoaqin was whole and Roen was alive and then fired a large blast at his enemies. However, before the fight could continue any further, they were all teleported into the Train conductor's office. The conductor told them about a game to decide who would become the true Slayer candidate would occur in a month's time on the 39th Floor section of the train.
A Month
Hoaqin raged about Karaka breaking his promise and agitatedly asked Daniel if there was any reaction from the seal, but Daniel lied and told him there wasn't one. Rachel then said that Emile indicated Hoaqin's other part was nearby, adding to Daniel that Emile had finished scanning his seal. Hoaqin gratefully thanked her for her work. However, when they reached the other part's room, he was not there much to Hoaqin's confusion.
Hoaqin then felt the presence of his copy and rushed towards it until he came across his other part known as "Vicente". Happily reuniting with Vicente, Hoaqin eagerly said they should become one again and also explained the current situation to him. However, Vicente disagreed with Hoaqin's plan, confusing Daniel. Hoaqin frustratedly attacked Vicente and told the others to attack with him. However, Ja Wangnan suddenly stabbed Vicente, making him disappear, and then fled making Hoaqin fly into another rage. Hoaqin angrily chased after Wangnan but lost him when the pathways changed. Fortunately for Hoaqin, he then met up with another sibling, Anna.
As Hoaqin's group were traversing the train paths, Daniel slipped away and found Vicente's group, informing them that Hoaqin had found Anna. Daniel then made a deal with Vicente. Later, he and the others arrived at the 4th stage well before everyone else.
The Dallar Show
Daniel observed the first round of the Dallar Show after it was explained, and watched as Koon trounced Rachel to attain victory. In the second round, he was partnered with Hoaqin and Anna with the aim of getting Vicente first. He followed Hoaqin until they encountered Aka, Boro and Sachi nearby huge rotary fans. Daniel said he would take care of everything and attacked the three with a large blast. However Hoaqin told him to step back and let Anna handle them, which she complied with doing. Just then Vicente and Wangnan appeared behind them and the former began fighting with Hoaqin. The two were evenly matched until 'Wangnan' stabbed Hoaqin in the back, having been possessed by David, with Daniel snidely commenting on the situation, causing Hoaqin to realise his treachery. However, Hoaqin dropped a bombshell and absorbed his nearby siblings, shocking Daniel. Casually putting Daniel down, Hoaqin impaled him through the chest but was stopped by the arrival of Sachi, Boro and Aka. Daniel bitterly commented on their presence but gave his aid when Jyu Viole Grace arrived and tried to stop Hoaqin. However, it proved to be futile and the round ended with Aka severely injured.
In the third and final round of the Dallar Show, Daniel was put beside Aka as the duel between Hoaqin and Viole played out. Viole eventually defeated Hoaqin and the clone that helped Viole congratulated him for winning. Daniel picked up on what the clone had mentioned and asked if Roen Yuia was inside. However the clone replied that individual personalities no longer existed inside themselves. Daniel said it was okay but tearfully asked if the clone would tell Roen's spirit that he loved her too. With the Dallar Show over, boiling acid started to pour into the arena, but they all managed to escape thanks to the timely arrival of Ha Yuri Zahard and Evan Edrok.
Yuri Jahad
With the others making plans to head to the 43rd Floor, Daniel, Aka and Aka's subordinates revealed that they would be getting off at the next station due to their injuries.
Powers and AbilitiesDaniel is a strong D-rank Scout; even in his past, he was shown to be one of the relatively stronger D-rank Regulars.[9] He seems to possess a high level of strength and power as he was able to effortlessly kill 99 people with his bare hands, similar to Koon Ran and Beta.[10] He also displayed incredible speed when he suddenly appeared next to Ran before the latter could even realise he had moved.[11] Daniel has been shown to be able to manipulate three white Lighthouses and was able to use them to block one of Mirotic's spear-like attacks;[3] however, whether the Lighthouses are actually his remains to be seen. When he wields Shinsoo, it tends to be a black colour with a purple tint.[3]
Necromancer:[12] Daniel's ability is one that utilises shinsoo control using the living soul; it is a "living creature" that moves.[12] As such the shinsoo can move as if it were alive and can seemingly move independently of Daniel's actions.[12] To do this he forms a purple wiggling head-shaped orb that looks as if it has a screaming face trapped inside it. This ability makes Daniel similar to a soul hunter; the stronger the souls Daniel collects and consumes, the more powerful the abilities he can use.[13] While he seemingly consumes a lot of souls, he never gets it "fully filled".[14] It is strongly implied that he received this ability from Hoaqin.[7]
- Shinsoo Blasts: By forming a sphere of purple-black Shinsoo, Daniel is able to fire a powerful blast of energy. So far he has been seen generating up to two impressively large spheres that he can fire into a single large blast.[3] The amount of people each blast is worth seems to be directly linked to how powerful the blasts are.
- Shinsoo Absorption technique: By forming two decently sized purple-black spheres of Shinsoo, Daniel performed a strange Shinsoo absorbing power that allowed him to absorb the guardian's two spear-like blasts.[15] It was apparently worth "three people".
- Self-Healing: Daniel was able to return the function of his disabled legs by infusing his legs with some of the souls he had stored.[16][14] While useful the skill seemed to cause Daniel pain trying to maintain it.[16] He can completely recover from injuries as long as he had enough souls, even from damage as serious as the one inflicted upon him by Baam.[14]

6 Tricks to Dealing With the Terrible Twos
The terrible twos are something every parent learns to fear. But, with these tricks, dealing with the terrible twos doesn't have to be so terrible!
1. Give out consequences
No parent wants to be the bad parent, but sometimes consequences are necessary. A huge part of the terrible twos is your child trying to test your limits, so your discipline has to be firm and consistent. Use time out to your advantage as this will help your child learn proper habits.
2. Give them the ability to choose
During the terrible twos, your toddler is trying to assert their authority with you. Offering them choices gives them the feeling that they have some power. So try and give them choic
Creating the Perfect Baby Nursery Requires Careful Attention to Quality Linens
The nursery is almost ready. The soon-to-be father spent finishing the details of the pink and grey stripes on the wall behind the crib. The soon-to-be mother was busy as well. She realized that the sheets that she bought might not be enough. Although they perfectly matched the room, as she prepared to place them on the mattress inside the newly assembled crib she discovered that they really were not very soft. So thin that you could actually see through the details to the crib sheet protector, these sheets might work in a pinch as another set was washed, but they would not be the best choice for the sheets that would be used all of the time.
Mothers, even ones who still are carrying their babies in their wombs, understand the importance of nice sheets. Continue Reading No Comments
