CERC to launch renewable energy certificate trading soon
Renewable generation in the country is set to get a major boost, with the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) planning to launch power exchange-based trading of renewable energy certificates (RECs) soon. RECs will be issued to renewable power generators by national load despatch centre (NLDC) against power supplied to discoms at their average pool purchase cost. Discoms in renewable power-deficit states can buy these instruments against their renewable power purchase obligations (RPO).
Trading will create liquidity in the market and make cost economics of renewable power projects more attractive for financiers. "We are going to launch soon formal trading of RECs soon. We are currently in the process of finalising a date," CERC chairman Pramod Deo said.
Under the national action plan on climate change, India has envisaged meeting 15% of its electricity requirement from renewable sources by 2015.
Concerned state electricity regulatory commission (SERC) is mandated to decide quantum of RPO for states. A roadmap on RPO has already been envisaged for each state in the Forum of Regulators, which comprises chairpersons of all electricity regulatory commissions and headed by the CERC chairman.
Since renewable power is costly, SERCs will look at factors like potential impact on electricity tariff the state and availability of renewable power while deciding quantum of RPO for the state.
The country's renewable power generation potential is concentrated in a few states like Rajasthan, Tmil Nadu and Karnataka. Renewable power accounts for a relatively high share of these states' electricity consumption. However, these states are not keen to take more renewable power as it is costly.
For example, Tamil Nadu already meets more than 10% of its electricity requirement from wind power projects but still has untapped potential to generate electricity from wind. On the other hand, there are states like Delhi and Bihar which have very little potential for generating renewable power but are required by the National Electricity Policy to enhance share of renewable electricity consumption.
To address this mismatch, the Forum of Regulators has evolved REC mechanism under which the renewable power is to be split into two components – electricity and the green attribute. The electricity component can be sold to local distribution utilities at a price of conventional electricity and the green attribute is converted into REC which the generator can sell to renewable power-deficit states like Delhi.

I think it's about time to update this blog a little. Well I have some stories on the way, but I haven't got the time to edit them yet. I'm doing really good at distracting myself from writing lol. So yes. I'm going to post some random post for now.
Well, I've been busy between teaching English, writing (here goes) and learning Mandarin.
Yep. That's right. I'm learning mandarin. Well, some would have say I have fallen for some Chinese guy. But that's not really the reason to learn a new language, is it? Okay may be a good reason, I admit. haha. But I've been on it since I was young. How young? Like 10 years ago. Oh my god. Now that I come to think about it, I'm turning, err, 21 this year. And I'm freaking out at how time flies by like a butterfly!
But then again, there is wisdom in getting old. Take a new friend I made, for example. Spending some years abroad, I'm someone who always love to met random people from anywhere, everywhere. I can't be left in a place without meeting a new friend or two. But it's amazing how internet can really make a strong connection anywhere. Take a new website I have found out two days ago (http://www.conversationexchange.com); I like the people I met there. I'm overwhelmed. That's where I met Miriam (I should call her Auntie because she could be older than my mother..but I never got around it). Miriam… just mentioning her name put a smile on my face. I just can't help to be fond of her. We clicked the instant we talked via skype, regarding the age gap, she's pretty cool for me. Miriam is a Chinese woman who lives in Vancouver for 13 years. Talking to her always make me feel that I'm reading a history book and there's nothing better than a talking book for an obsessed talkative book-lover
Nobody would ever complain about me being too quite. The adventurous side of me and my thirst for human experience made me a non-stop walkie talkie. It's true. I could talk for hours and never run out of things to talk about, I never know where I got that since my family is quite the opposite. Sometimes I find it too hard to stop talking, I pity the person who would be lock with me in a room for a day. He would have to put up with my nonstop story telling.
Anyway something changed about my point of view after my four-hours long talk with Miriam last night (I slept at 4am). I've opened my mind to some things I never even thought about, I understood the Chinese culture better and I am more captivated by it. As a payment for such priceless stories, all I could give her was some grammar rules. But my session with Miriam will always be the most excited part of my day. Or night. haha
Well, my Mandarin isn't good yet. god, the four tones is driving me completely insane, I sounded stupid saying 'hao' in four tones and they all sound the same to me. I sounded like a howling dog when I do it, even my family have to put up with it too! lol
So if you're one to learn Madarin or any other language, my advice would be get someone to teach you. Who knows what kind of people you will meet? So far, I have been lucky to meet a writer, a history teller, and some nice people who can really put up with my nonsense humor and share some interesting stories.

Pittsburgh region touted as great place to live for young veterans
With low housing costs, a low unemployment rate, well-known universities and access to good health care services, Pittsburgh is the top place for veterans leaving the service and looking for a place to live in the United States, according to a recent survey.
"The transition is hard, especially for this generation that's been worked big time," said Ward Carroll, editor of Military.com and Navy veteran, referring to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. "They've had a job that's had a big consequence."
The survey, conducted by Sperling's Best Places, is the third commissioned by USAA, a San Antonio-based financial services company and Military.com., a military information site.
While previous surveys focused on retiring veterans and those with more than 20 years of service, the survey that named Pittsburgh tops for 2012 focused on younger veterans who had been in service for about five years and are looking for a new life and career.
The list is meant to "stimulate the young veterans thinking about where they want to live. Many go back to their hometowns and families. That may be a good avenue or it may not be," said Scott Halliwell, 45, a Homer City native and a certified financial planner with USAA. "We're trying to give people a different way to think."
Some things can improve, said some veterans, including how medical, disability and other claims from those leaving the service are handled.
"There are so many troops coming back, the infrastructure, per se, sometimes has a hard time keeping up with that number," said Brian Hall, 34, of Enola, Cumberland County, an Air Force veteran who is a student and president of the veterans organization at the Penn State Mont Alto campus in Franklin County.
Many veterans are using the Post 9/11 Veterans Education Assistance Act, in which the government pays for secondary education for veterans who have served at least three years after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
There are an estimated 160,000 veterans living in Southwest Pennsylvania, according to government studies. Local veterans organizations, said John Cyprian, head of Butler County's Veterans Affairs office, are not only helping their own, but reaching into the community.
"They're non-profit (organizations) trying to help anybody to do anything. There's nothing too big or too small that they'll try to do," Cyprian said.
At a Student Veterans Education and Employment conference Saturday at the University of Pittsburgh, veterans cited popular Veterans Day parades and access to health care through the Veterans Affairs facilities in the region as pluses for the region.
"We do have a lot of support here," said Jesse Blake, 29, of Fox Chapel, a Marine who is studying at Pen State New Kensington. He mentioned organizations like Operation Troop Appreciation, which sends care packages to overseas troops.

Amidst this crazy season, it's easy to forget about a guy who most of upper management is hoping will be apart of the team's future within the next few years. Flores, 19, is the prototypical Mets prospect in that he's young and raw with unlimited amounts of potential. They signed him as an undrafted free agent out of Venezuela back in 2007, hoping he'd quickly find his way up to Flushing. It's going into his fourth season and although he hasn't jumped through the system like many had hoped, he still looks to have a bright future in the Majors.
The biggest weaknesses in his game stem mostly from his age. Flores lacks good patience at the plate, but has been slowly learning how to turn pitchers counts in his favor as he gets older. He still doesn't walk enough for a guy who expects to be batting high in the order, but he also doesn't strike out at a high rate. Even more so, his size leaves a lot to desire on the defensive side of the field at the premium position he plays. It's been pretty much agreed upon by a lot of scouts that the Mets top prospect will have to move out of shortstop into the less-athletic demanding positions of 3rd and corner outfield where his size could be more of a benefit to him. Lastly, he doesn't have a ton of speed having only 10 steals in his 4 year Minor League career.
On the flip side though, the biggest strength of Flores game is his bat. A career .281/.322/.395 hitter, Wilmer has started to show his true offensive potential the last couple of years. Last season he clubbed 36 Doubles with 11 Home runs and 84 RBI's in 554 AB's. He has quietly posted 4 Home Runs, 10 doubles and 34 RBI's this season to go along with a .267 Avg for the St. Lucie Mets. His offensive strong points include strong hands, being able to consistently put the ball in play, and hitting the ball hard into the gaps. The scary part is his pop has yet to fully develop. With age and more guidance, Flores could hit upwards of 25-30 Homers on a Major League club just years in the near future. His doubles have also shot up at each level which is a good sign of developing power.
With all the off the field headlines and other prospects performing up to their levels, Flores has gone largely unnoticed this season. He enjoyed just one season in the spotlight as the team's top overall prospect in between the tenure's of Fernando Martinez and Jenrry Mejia, and yet most fans don't know much about the kid. Even this year with Mejia having gone down with his ligament tear, Flores has been overshadowed by fellow Mets farmhands Matt Harvey and Jeurys Familia, who are having breakout seasons. Scouts are salivating at this kids potential. Kevin Goldstein has Flores at #98 on his Top 101, Keith Law of ESPN put him at #48 to start the year on his list of top 100 prospects (Insider article), and John Sickels gave him a B+ grade (the highest grade of any Mets farmhand) on his Top 20 Mets prospects list for the 2011 season.
The question remains about when Flores could become a regular contributor to a franchise that badly needs a bright spot. He doesn't have a set position and since he is still so young (something we've heard before i.e Fernando Martinez), he has plenty of time to establish himself as a future Major Leaguer and not another bust. He hasn't had ridiculously high expectations thrust upon him like other top prospects early into their careers and he is progressing at a steady rate. He's not a guy who we'll see this season, or a guy who will necessarily dominate the Majors quickly, but he's a kid who works at his own pace and that has gotten him to top prospect status rather quickly. As long as there are distractions in the franchise, and sadly there probably will be, Wilmer Flores looks like a guy who can come up and surprise a lot of fans. Let's just hope there will be some other big pieces to couple with this youngster in the near future so the Mets, and their fans, have something to look forward to.

Using WordPress is one of the most efficient ways to create a personalized website. WordPress is simple to master and features many benefits. You can build something simple or something very complex. Continue reading to find out more.
Use different designs than other blogs on WordPress. It is tempting, but it is not going to help people think the best of you. You want to differentiate your website by enhancing the uniqueness of your business.
If your post's title is lengthy, shorten the permalink. To illustrate this, "The Best Banana Cream Pie Recipe Taught To Me By My Grandmother" would show as a very long URL that can be annoying to your readers. You can simply shorten that to include only the keywords.
Use Title and Alt when you are uploading pictures. text tags as you upload images for your posts. This way, you can add a lot more keyword phrases to your content, and visitors who have images disabled on the computers will get a good idea of what is there.
Devote some time to learning about the various options and tools that you have at your fingertips when you use WordPress for blogging. For example, if you click on the KITCHEN SINK button, you will get lots of extra choices in importing and formatting that can really make your posts unique.Additionally, you will probably notice the SCREEN OPTIONS tab on your admin pages. This can control an array of formatting features.
Delete comments or content that add no value to your site. This will make your website fresh and professional. You can filter spam every day with the plugin known as Akismet.
The title and Alt keys should be used. Use both title and alternate text when uploading your images to your site. This will let you add more SEO phrases and will let users that block images know what they are missing.
Remove special characters from your blog post URLs. They give search engines difficulty when they are spidering your site, so try to eliminate them altogether. Your URLs should also be shortened to just include keywords, so they do not overwhelm your visitors.
With WordPress, users can easily have video blogging on their site. This can involve a bit of a learning curve, but it is well worthwhile. Video blogs are perfect for Internet users who are visual. A video is just able to do so much more than the written word can when it comes to communication.
Have you even worked on your site and thought that the changes you made were not saved? That's most likely false. You may have a full browser cache that is interfering with your WordPress website. Just hold the 'shift' key when you refresh your browser to see the changes.
When it is time to begin posting, set up a schedule. By developing a schedule, you will remain motivated. With the scheduling feature available on WordPress, you can create several posts and schedule them throughout the week.
Unless you modify it, all posts will be in chronological order. Change the dates to rearrange the posts. Do this by opening a post, and you'll see the date in the top right-hand corner. Change the date by clicking on it, and save the post to change the order of posts.
Your post will automatically appear chronologically, unless you stipulate otherwise. To change it, modify the date. To do this, open a post so that you can see its date near the top-right. Click the date and change it. Save your post and its order will change.
Are there a lot of commenters to your posts? If they do, it can be quite a chore for you and your readers to comb through all of them. Try using a plugin that adds page numbers to the comment section. This makes your website easier to navigate.
Don't use something boring, such as "admin", as the name you use on your site. This can make you more susceptible to bots. Then, your entire site is at risk. Delete all users who call themselves "administrator" or "admin". Select a different user name.
Allow visitors to email your articles to themselves. This is important to promote exposure, since many readers cannot use social media sites at work. A WP Email plugin can make this possible.
Use targeting titles and descriptions. When people use search engines to find your pages, these elements are usually seen first. Therefore, they are vital. In order to customize them to your needs, Scribe, which is SEO software, can help. With its help, you can edit this sort of item within your pages to make them more attractive.
Security is essential for WordPress users, so make your password is kept confidential. In addition, only download and implement plugins with good reviews from reputable sources. When your site ends up hacked or attacked by malware, you'll lose all that you've built.
Make sure the WordPress you use on the site is always the updated version. Updates will eliminate vulnerabilities. Using an outdated version opens your page up to all sorts of negative possibilities. That is why you should always install the latest WordPress updates to make sure everything is safe and secure.
Make sure you maintain an organized media library. It may be tempting to just upload images directly into the library, but things can become chaotic really quick. Make sure to incorporate folder structures that allows you to categorize properly. If you'd like to use an image again, you can find it easily.
Back your blog up. Back up your blog on a daily basis. Consider a plugin such as Xcloner to assist you. Use the plugin or site you're confident in for blog backup, but be sure to backup in a lot of places. It would be a shame to lose your whole blog.
Take the time to update your plugins regularly. Plugins can add a lot to your site; they have many unique features. However, they are updated just as other types of software are. There are many critical upgrades that you may not have been aware of. Older plugins may fail without updates.
Approving comments manually is a thing of the past. Akismet does it for you. You'll get emails when comments are made, but you can also uncheck manual approval. You aren't saving much time this way.
Use WordPress to schedule your blog post's publication dates ahead of time. Post them at specific periods of time when you aren't at a computer. You can do this by tapping into the Publish box on your edit screen. Click "Publish Immediately" under that. You can input the date and time you want your post to be posted. Pick OK. A screen entitled "Schedule For" will appear. Once you verify that it is correctly scheduled, select "Schedule."
Is it hard for you to stick to a posting schedule? The option to write ahead of schedule is available. This blurb can then be posted at a specific time and date. When you make a new post, you have the option to publish it at a future date. Writing ahead of time prevents a time crunch later.
Don't use the drop-down menu when you are selecting a header. Rather, use shortcuts on your keyboard. A variety of options are available by holding down the CTRL button, then choosing a number between 1 and 6. This is a time saver if you use lots of headers.
If you need WordPress blog hosting, try picking a host that has some installation tools for installing WordPress for you using a button. This saves you the frustration of creating a separate database yourself. A single click could mean the host creates both your blog domain and your database associated with it.
Read reviews when searching for new plugins. It is possible for anyone with programming knowledge to create a plugin. You shouldn't use one that has lots of reported flaws and bugs. Highly rated plugins with lots of downloads are generally safe.
Experiment with a variety of blogging tools. Do you not like WordPress's dashboard? You can also use Windows Live Writer. There are a lot of tools outside of WordPress that work well with the platform and are very efficient. Try some out, and choose the one making your work easier.
Does WordPress clutter fatigue you? You can disable select boxes on the page. Click Screen Options. Click that link to get a menu which helps you control which boxes appear.
Write a tentative plan before starting your WordPress blog. Write down everything you'd like your website to do and what visitors would enjoy finding. This will help you build a site that fulfills your objectives instead of having to add stuff later to get it right.
Get a webhost that is able to install WordPress by simply clicking a button. This will help you save the trouble of creating a separate database. With one click, the host can create the blog domain for you as well as the associated database.
Employ graphics in your sites. It is true that a picture can "say" so many things. Your site will look much more aesthetically pleasing. Search Engines and readers alike will appreciate your use of alternate text tags and titles.
Enable comments so that visitors will want to return. This will cultivate a community and it will give you an idea on the type of visitors that your site is attracting. Plugins are available to help you approve comments prior to having them published on the site, keeping it free from spammers.
While a plugin may not be free, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't try it. Think about whether the plugin is a good value given the time it may save you. It's got many features at an affordable cost, so it is worth it to free up your time.
Highlight comments that are made by the post's author. The comment section is where people ask any questions they might have. It can be far too easy to overlook such a question because it is lost in a group of others. Use a different color to highlight the comments and draw attention to them. This allows you to find and recognize them easily.
If you would like to do work on your website without making live changes, copy your blog to another folder and work on it there. This keeps those changes from potentially damaging your entire site causing lost sales.
"Read more" buttons can help. Nobody wants to reach the front page of a blog only to find a massive amount of text. Let visitors read more by clicking if they choose. Not doing this will give your blog a messy look.
Do your research before planning your WordPress blog. For instance, search for online communities, groups in Facebook, and other WordPress blogs where you can pose a question and get advice from professionals. Whether your issue is with a theme, plugin, or general knowledge, they can help you figure your problem out.
Put images to work on your websites. The cliche that a picture has the value of a thousand words still resonates today. Your site will look much more aesthetically pleasing. Also use alternate text and title tags when describing the pictures to help search engines crawl your site.
If you are working on a post not ready for publication, you can save it as a draft or in unpublished mode. You are able to make some changes, but no one else can see it. Once your post is exactly the way you want it, you can publish it.
Free plugins should not automatically be overlooked. Think about how long it will take you to make something like that; then, compare it to the cost. It is affordable and provides you with an unparalleled amount of features.
You can see what a powerful website building tool WordPress can be. It works well for personal and business use. The more time invested into improvement of the skills you have, the better your results will be.
Use an identical second database if you would like to test changes without messing with the live site itself. This reduces the risk of visitors being ran off by bad performance.

Are there any errors reported in the logs? Have you tried first mixing
the drums and vocals into a single monitor track for recording your
guitar track? This might show if this is an overhead issue. Are you
sure you have tuned your disks properly. This was my big
problem. After my initial tweaking I still had recording problems but
a little more playin' about fixed them up. This may sound stupid, but
did you save you hdparm tunings to be reloaded at boot (i.e. are they
set in rc.local or some such place)? Ant.

When we wear leather or suede shoes, it's usually with a bit of trepidation. Stains can easily result when our shoes come in contact with rain or salt, and can quickly become scuffed from general use. Follow these shoe-care tips to keep your shoes looking their best.
Tools and Materials
Lexol Leather Cleaner
Suede shampoo
Suede brush
Shoe cream and polish, both brown and black
Application brush for each color of polish
Horsehair buffing brushes (one for dark colors and one for light)
Several soft flannel cloths for buffing
Cleaning and Polishing Smooth Leather Shoes
1. Before you apply any creams or polishes to your shoes, you must first clean them.
2. For leather, use Lexol Leather Cleaner. Apply the cleaner with a damp cloth. Wipe with sponge. To remove mud, use a soft brush.
3. Wipe the shoe with a damp sponge, stuff it with newspaper, and allow it to dry completely. (You should repeat this process after exposure to rain or snow.)
4. Apply a fresh coat of polish. Use a colored polish if you want to mask scratches and fading. Cream polishes are best for long-term shoe care.
5. Buff to a shine with a horsehair brush. For the final buffing, use a soft flannel cloth.
Cleaning Suede Shoes
1. Sponge very lightly with a shampoo formulated especially for suede.
2. To raise nap of the shoe, brush gently with a rubber, nylon, or brass-wire brush made for this purpose. This will also remove dirt and mud.
3. Suede conditioner will help to rejuvenate color.
Removing Salt Stains
1. Rub shoes with a paper towel dampened with white vinegar. The white vinegar will dissolve the salt. If the salt marks return, repeat the process.
2. Stuff the shoes with newspaper and let dry naturally.
All of these supplies are available at shoe-repair shops or pharmacies. This technique was adapted from "Martha Stewart's Homekeeping Handbook."

Strategies to beat the challenges of Middle age
Midlife can be a very challenging time for a woman. What we thought we knew, we no longer know. What we thought was important no longer seems to be. It can be a tumultuous and confusing time!
Midlife is far more than a handful of physical changes. It often brings a re-ordering of priorities, a change in values, deep soul-searching about the meaning of life, the facing of our own mortality, and a loss of social power.
If you are a woman, and are wondering what is happening to your man, you may find help here as well.

Random House. Young Adult, Fantasy. Paperback RRP $22.95
Reviewer - Barbara Brown
Everyone who is a fan of Lauren Kate and her Fallen series, will love this unexpected interlude showing extra glimpses of the star-crossed lovers, Luce and Daniel.
Fallen in Love relates the love stories of a number of the characters in the series. Four individual stories, set in medieval
This collection of short stories is not a chronological volume in the Fallen series. However, it does continue on from Passion, following extracts of the storyline. It is a must read if you want to know what happens to Luce and Daniel on that night hundreds of years before.
Fallen in Love also comes with a free downloadable Fallen Books app from the App Store or Android Marketplace, where you can watch the front cover come to life and Lauren Kate talks about her books. A very clever marketing tool in this modern world.
Fallen, Torment and Passion are the first three books in this wonderful story of love, right and wrong, good and evil, heaven, earth and hell. And I would definitely recommend them. Rapture, the final tome will be out the middle of 2012.
The Reading Stack reviewed Fallen, Torment and Passion in February, February 2011 and June 2011 respectively and The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove in September 2011.

While the new generation of consoles have just hit the shelves right now, I decided to make 2014 the year of retro gaming for me.Cleaning my room and organizing my games collection made me realize that I had a lot of retro games I haven't even played. Not fair considering that a lot of em are good games. While deployed I barely had time to rest so now that I am back and getting back on track I decided to play these games they way they should. I started with the legendary Playstation 2 (PS2) since i have a nice collection of unplayed games there.Most of these games are known as Japanese Role Playing Games or JRPG for short. Say what you want about Japs RPG but outside of North America JRPG's are loved as classics (most of them).
And we start with:
This game launched on Japan on 2005 and released in North America in 2006, this game is a nice collection of RPG using alchemy and has a very nice story. Currently playing and it has a nice spun track and the English voice cast is not bad itself.
YES I haven't played this game well, after all I am guilty of neglecting this one. Number 2 in my list to play after I finish Atelier Iris, this one i will not have to wait to March to get it HD ( a scam if you ask me). All the motivation I have is there to finish the first one and start this one.
My favorite one of all the WILD ARMS series, this one I played a while back before being distracted by PS3 and all that. Must properly finish this game and I will.
This one is one I regretted not paying the attention it deserved. Great combat system for an RPG, great story but most importantly a stellar VOICE CAST. Will Friedle (Batman Beyond, Thundercats), Steve Bloom ( Cowboy Beebop, MEGAS XLR), Natalie Lander (Saints Row the Third, God of War III), Yuri Lowenthal ( look at Wikipedia for the long ass list of all the cool stuff he's voiced over the years). This is a cult jewel in the making. DEFINITELY going to replay this and give it proper respect when I finish the others.
I got this one in special edition and I haven't yet opened it. From the review I read of this game I hear it's an enjoyable game. Will give this one a try later on.
That's all I have so far so tell me what you think and Happy 2014. Bang

The Shangri-la Dialogue/Chinese Way of Hegemony-IX
At the news conference of the 10th meeting of Shangri-la Dialogue (IISS Asia Security Summit) in Singapore, Kishore Mahbubani from National University of Singapore asked an interesting question to Secretary Robert Gates: "Five years from now, with the perception that American influence will be declining, what do you do to reassure countries in this region that things will actually remain the same five or ten years from now (Phoenix News 10 June 2011)?" "I will bet you $100 that five years from now, United States influence in this region is as strong if not stronger than it is today," answered Gates. Anyone can bet $100 right now that five years from now,
China will be a totally different China (i.e., a stronger ). This year, China China dispatched for the first time ever its Defense Minister Gen. Liang Guanglie to the meeting and he answered questions in a press conference, emphasizing will never seek hegemony. China

Please tell me I am not the only one who recently embarrassed myself with post Halloween candy shopping. Anyone? Because I was totally that person. You know who I mean. The person you see hovering around the sales rack at the grocery store and you wonder if they're all there. That person = Me.
So I made a trip to Walmart a day or two after Halloween expecting big things. I mean I was ready to stock up on the candy galore. What did I find? Nothing. No seriously, nothing. The only candy they had remaining was about 200 bags of Dum Dums, a few individually packed Sixlets, and Nerds. And to top it all off none of them were even on sale. Only the costumes and decor were. Really Walmart? Lame.
So I went home in defeat. Looks like my candy binge wasn't happening this year. Then came today. I was on a grocery shopping trip for the basics (milk, bread, cereal, hot fudge, cool whip—no wait how did those get in there...?) when I passed the Sale/Clearance rack in the back of the store. It was Loaded with Halloween candy.
Oh my gosh. I zeroed in. I left my little babe and shopping cart forgotten in the middle of the aisle. My grocery list went out the window.
Unfortunately the sale rack was located right in front of this door where employees were coming in and out of every 2 seconds to restock shelves. They must have thought I was crazy. I was hovering over that candy for a good 20 minutes—they passed me at least 30 times. I was tempted to pull one aside to say "Look buddy. I'm going to be here for awhile so can you guys just hold off for 15 minutes so I can ponder my purchases in peace?!"
Next some lady was trying to get all up in my candy business. She was checking it out over my shoulder, no doubt trying to snatch up the goods. I was mentally saying, "Take a hike missy, I called dibs." I decided to be classy though and simply box her out, football style. I assume she got the hint because she finally walked off after a few loud sighs.
Finally able to shop in peace I made my decisions. I got about a 2 year supply of candy corn (39 cents a bag... how could I say no?) A jumbo sized Almond Joy/Coconut M&M's mixed bag (No I don't really like Almond Joys. But I love the blue color of the M&Ms so I convinced myself it was a good buy.) Reese Peanut Butter Cups (Nuff said.) Reeses Pieces. (Nuff said x2.) Caramel Apple Milky Ways (I can't explain my excitement over these. Unfortunately there was only 1 bag left otherwise I might have broke the bank on them alone.) And some other miscellaneous goodies (because I am sure by now you are sick of reading all this...)
Anyhoo, once I was able to take a step back from the situation I realized that I probably just humiliated myself. Who knows how many people walked by me thinking, "that poor girl…" I would have gone through the self checkout but there was a line. So I did the next best thing and grabbed a bag of frozen veggies to hide my ridiculous candy stash underneath. All else I could do was avoid eye contact and pray I didn't see anyone I knew.
Ahh, I eventually made it home with my goods. And concluded that it was worth the embarrassment. Because that's where these delicious morsels of candy apple goodness originated from. The gooey pieces of Caramel Apple Milky Ways (best purchase ever!) really takes them to another level. These things leave a mark. In a good way.
Well, until next year. After Halloween candy shopping. It does things to you.
Caramel Apple Rice Krispy Treats
4 Tbsp butter
6 cup marshmallows
1 tsp caramel extract
1/2 tsp apple pie spice (here's a simple homemade version)
6 cup krispies
15-20 chopped Miniature Caramel Apple Milky Ways
Caramel for dipping (make life easy and use these... there's a story for you below**)
Pour the rice krispies and Milky Ways in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, turn the heat down to the lowest setting and add the marshmallows. Stir until the marshmallows are mostly all melted (this will take a few minutes--low and slow is key for perfect texture) then stir in the caramel extract and apple pie spice.
Once fully melted, take them off heat and pour over the rice krispies. Stir lightly to combine. Dump everything into a greased 9x9 pan. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, then with greased hands go in and flatten the top. Allow them to cool about 20 minutes.
Once cool melt your caramels per package instructions. Meanwhile cut your rice krispies into squares or circles. Dip krispies into melted caramel and lay on a sheet of wax paper to dry. Enjoy!

She makes breakfast burritos ahead of time and freezes them for an instant, hot, healthy breakfast for her boys!

When members of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons were asked to list the most significant advances in treatment during the 20th century, the development of internal fixation ranked high. Internal fixation allows shorter hospital stays, enables individuals to return to function earlier and reduces the incidence of nonunion (improper healing).
A broken bone must be carefully fixed in position and supported until it is strong enough to bear weight. Until the last century, physicians relied on casts and splints to support the bone from outside the body (external fixation). But the development of sterile surgery reduced the risk of infection so that doctors could work directly with the bone and could implant materials in the body. New materials such as stainless steel, cobalt and titanium were not only durable, but also had the strength and the flexibility necessary to support the bone. These materials are also compatible with tissue and rarely cause an allergic reaction or implant failure.
The most common types of internal fixation are wires, plates, rods, pins, nails, and screws used inside the body to support the bone directly.
Wires are often used as sutures or threads to "sew" the bones back together.
• Can be used in conjunction with other forms of internal fixation to hold bones together.
• Can be used alone to treat fractures of small bones, such as those found in the hand or foot. Plates Plates are like internal splints that hold the fractured ends of bone together.
• Extend along the bone and are screwed in place. If two bones that run parallel to each other both break, such as in the lower leg, plating one bone may provide enough support for the other bone as well.
• May be left in place or removed (in selected cases) after healing is complete.
Nails or Rods
In some fractures of the long bones, the best way to align the bone ends is by inserting a rod or nail through the hollow center of the bone that normally contains some marrow.
• Held in place by screws until the fracture has healed.
• May be left in the bone after healing is complete. Screws Bone screws are used for internal fixation more often than any other type of implant. Although the bone screw is a simple device, there are several designs based on how the screw will be used.
• Can be used alone to hold a fracture, as well as with plates, rods, or nails.
• May be designed for a specific type of fracture. • May be left in place, or removed after the bone heals.
External Fixators
Pins, screws, and rods are also used to construct external fixators such as frames and rings. Although they are outside the body, the screws and pins go through the skin and muscle to connect to the bone. In this way, they differ from casts and splints, which rely solely on external support. There may be some inflammation or, less commonly, infection associated with the use of external fixators. Normally, these can be managed with care.
Other Considerations
Sterile conditions and advances in surgical techniques reduce, but do not remove, the risk of infection when internal fixation is used. The severity of the fracture, its location, and the medical status of the patient must all be considered. In addition, no technique is foolproof. The fracture may not heal properly, the plate or rod may break or deform, or the patient may have an allergic reaction to the implant. Although some media attention has focused on the possibility that cancer could develop near a long-term implant, there is little evidence documenting an actual cancer risk and much evidence against that possibility. Orthopaedic surgeons are continuing their research to develop improved methods for treating fractures.

Well, I must admit that I am feeling rather stupid. For when I first received notification of this, I thought the ATM card was being issued by the federal government of the United States of America—not Nigeria! No wonder I was having so much trouble, which you can read about [here].
Now, if I can just find an ATM machine that recognizes PBC (Pidgin Binary Code), I can finally start living the life that I so richly deserve to. You wouldn't happen to know where one is—would you?

The Grand Ocean Department Store (GODS) in Xingtai, PRC is a 26000sqm retail store. Coin Group's intention is to make the store one of its own and to redesign the existing façade in an effort to attain high recognizibility. The proposal incorporates a banded façade that creates innovative spaces and responds to environmental factors.
The bulky existing volume is masked by a metallic façade which protrudes towards the front of the building maximizing the shopping area which blends into becoming public space. The square, partially shaded, establishes a visual and symbolic connections with the city.
The building is centered around an atrium, with retail space located on the lower levels and restaurants and bars located on the upper floors.
The façade which becomes a canopy is the key design element. It responds to the desire of the client to create a striking building with a limited budget and it complies with the architectural restrictions of Xingtai. The façade appears differently when looking at different angles, creating shadows and different perception of depth.
Developed in collaboration with Zito+Pedron Architects, Venice, Italy.

I've located a Webley Junior for sale but it's one I'd have to have shipped to me and cannot view it in person.
There is a photo of the pistol provided and it is said to be on good condition. It's maybe hard to tell from just the one photo, but does it appear to be in acceptable condition? To me is seems there is no more bluing left, but otherwise seems intact. I could be wrong and perhaps the photo is overexposed and there is more original finish left than I'm guessing.
Thanks for any thoughts.

text: The Director of Children's Ministry will foster the Christian formation of the children of TAPC by overseeing and setting the tone for a joyful, faithful ministry, equipping lay leaders for service, supporting parents in their family discipleship, and propelling the engagement of children in the life of the church. The children's ministry director will report to and be supervised by the senior pastor. Trinity Avenue is a congregation of about five hundred members in Durham, North Carolina, with an average worship attendance of 200 across two Sunday services. TAPC strives to be a community of faith that is a catalyst for turning the hearts of the people of Durham toward one another and God through worship and ministries that connect and deepen to foster transformation by the renewing of minds in Christ Jesus. In line with our practice of baptizing infants, we believe children are integral to this life and mission, not just for the church's future but for the church's present. Based on prayer, conversation, and discernment, the church is seeking a director who is energetic, listens well, and embodies an active, deep faith. He or she will be leading a ministry that is focusing more and more on providing faith-formation opportunities for families. Lay leaders are interested in thinking creatively about this ministry and desire a director who works well with others. An aptitude for making connections between the children's ministry and other aspects of the church's life is essential. Many people find in this congregation a people who give their heart away easily, embracing newcomers warmly and happily receiving their gifts. We believe the next Director of Children's Ministry will find a loving, supportive congregation eager to work and grow with them.

The year is 1956. You are a mainframe programmer writing software for a U.S. military computer. You have the opportunity to create the first art to be displayed on a computer screen. What would you draw?
I love nature, so I'd probably choose a tree or a flower or a mountain — something that would be seen as a universal symbol of beauty. As it turns out, the programmer who created the first computer art chose a somewhat different form of beauty: a pin-up girl.
I kid you not.

Long time readers of The Bat-Man will have their first encounter with Gotham by Gaslight etched into the brains. Set in 1889 it sees Gotham's Bruce Wayne on a trip across Europe where he encounters the Father of Psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud before coming to London and finding himself caught up in the case to catch Jack the Ripper.
A few years back there were plans to bring Gotham by Gaslight to our Xbox and Playstations but it unfortunately didn't make it out of development. Now... or to be more specific in six days time, those Bat fans who were foaming at the dome with the prospect of seeing Mike Mignola's gothic protector animated will be able to feast their eyes upon Ripper.
What's Ripper? Excellent question. Funded through IndieGo-Go, Ripper is a fan made period film that pits the Dark Knight against Whitechapel's most notorious killer. Need more... how about a trailer?!

Series: Storyville #3
Author: David Fulmer
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Publication Year: 2006
Language: English
Format: Hardback
Pages: 336
As the third Storyville mystery begins, Creole detective Valentin St. Cyr has just returned to New Orleans. Having only recently solved the case of the jass murders, he is drawn reluctantly into the investigation of a new murder- that of a well-to-do gentleman on seedy Rampart Street. Then another wealthy society man turns up dead, and the detective learns that the two victims were acquainted years ago. In a spider's web of coincidence, the second murder has been witnessed-or has it?-by the man who's now keeping Justine, Valentin's old girlfriend, as his paramour. Valentin probes deeper even as the city's most powerful leaders pressure him to drop the investigation. What could he be getting close to, and what nerves might he unwittingly strike?
The adventure of detective Valentin St. Cyr in Storyville continues in Rampart Street. This time after long absence from his usual job at Storyville, the detective decides to come back. There is a murder happened at Rampart Street. It isn't surprising considering the place, but what makes it unusual is the victim. A reputable white man found with a bullet wound in the middle of Rampart Street. Because of that, someone is asking a favor to Tom Anderson, the king of Storyville, on behalf of the victim's family to help solve the murder case. That's how Valentin got assigned to the case. At first, Valentin was going to end the case immediately by ruling it as random robbery. But as he digs more, turns out the case is bigger than what he anticipates.
Rampart Street is the third book in the Storyville series. Although it can be read as a standalone, I suggest reading the entire series chronologically. It wouldn't affect the mystery because each book's case isn't directly connected. But that way, readers can perceive Valentin's struggle and development as a character better.
In the end of the second book, Valentin went away from Storyville. He had enough of murders and felt the need to take a breather from that entire ruckus in the sinful district. After 15 months, he's back and of course he's not the same man. He looks unkempt and he just careless about everything. After hearing about the Rampart Street case, he even considered to end it quickly and just stated it as a random shooting or robbery. That isn't what he would do 15 months ago. It seems like something happened with him while he was gone. Though the away period isn't told in the book, Valentin's transition from a sharp detective into the man he is at the start of the book is kind of acceptable.
The main case in this book revolves around social hierarchy and racist issues. In this book, Valentin has to work for a reputable white family which is quite scandalous at that time since he is actually colored. The discrimination is seen in how the family lawyer and most people from the white society treat Valentin. It's sad and horrible. There's this guy trying to solve a problem and everyone looks down on him. Also the motive of this case is actually a part of one big conspiracy plan to 'purify' New Orleans. It's exciting and intriguing but I don't want to spoil the whole thing so I won't explain anything more.
All in all, another exciting murder mystery by David Fulmer. I'd say that I still love the second book better because the ending of this book doesn't really do it for me. It does give some kind of closure to the case but I need more. Still, the premise of this book is interesting. Though it took me longer to read Rampart Street, it didn't spoil the fun of reading it.

"The Economist" is dissecting Electric Cars phenomenon and why 2018 will be the tipping point for the coming mass market for EVs. "Dirty Secret" mentioned in this video is not a secret, but an Oil industry-funded promotion of another myth that electric cars are "powered by coal". We are not there yet, even if some politicians are trying hard to bring the "Clean Coal" back. Electric Cars are 50% cleaner in the US even with existing grid electricity generation mix and they are getting cleaner every year. In 2018 electric cars will become cheaper to own than the ICE ones.
Please pay attention to the real New Energy Plan story developing in China and far-reaching geopolitical implications of this tectonic shift. China is The Center of The Lithium Universe and The Economist is only scratching the surface here. You can find more information on the links below. UBS is already talking about the surge in demand for Lithium ... by 2,898% "In A 100% EV World." We are moving very fast to the iPhone Moment for electric cars and China is already in control of the supply chain for the Energy rEVolution.
We are reaching the tipping point this year: convergence of technology, new players who bring competition and prices down; and anti-pollution movement by the most important countries for the automakers. DIEselGate was the last drop and auto lobby cannot just swipe it under the rug anymore, consumers are not buying "Clean DIEsel".
Needless to say that lithium supply chains are not even close to the coming Tsunami of electric cars after Tesla Model S Earthquake. Countries like China and India are very serious to clean up their skies from deadly pollution and now we have lithium technology to make it possible: electric cars will take the world over much faster than a lot of people think.
Electrification of China and India will drive the next phase of the worldwide growth in EV fleet. India has announced that all new cars on sale will be electric by 2030 and they are taking it seriously making the first tender for 10,000 EVs to be supplied for the government ministries and agencies now. Transfer of the best technology for Lithium Batteries and Electric Cars will be next. China is already The Centre of The Lithium Universe and exercises its state-level New Energy Plan step by step with the military discipline, starting with securing a Lithium Supply Chain.
Elon Musk is jump-starting the real mass market for electric cars now. Security of lithium supply will be so much more important than autonomous driving in the next few years. Tesla cannot just rely on Panasonic and Samsung to deliver the cells for Tesla batteries. Tesla supply chain for lithium goes all over the globe and back to China.
Autonomous driving is great and will be happening, but not before technology and, the most important, our society are both ready for it. Any problems here, which will be unavoidable, will be used against Tesla and can, potentially, hold it back. If China starts the real control of Lithium Supply Chain allocating resources first to its own EV and Lithium Battery makers, then Tesla and all automakers in the West will be facing the real problem. Mass production of electric cars will be happening in China. I do hope that this message is getting through now.
Chasing Tesla: Who Controls The Supply Chain For The Energy rEVolution - 20 Lithium Megafactories Are Coming.
Benchmark Mineral Intelligence has launched another blockbuster event covering the Lithium rEVolution - Cathodes 2017. Simon Moores and his team are the best in connecting the rapid growth of Electric Cars and Energy Storage industries with in-depth analysis of supply chains which are making this Energy rEVolution happening. Tesla has brought the earthquake to the auto industry, Elon Musk is "thinking hard about new Gigafactories number 3, 4, 5 and 6"; but there are already another 19 are in the making.
This month Simon has delivered his message to the US Senate - access to the critical commodities will define the new geopolitical power set for the 21st century. Billions of dollars in investments in the whole battery supply chain are needed urgently just to keep access to the raw materials. Private companies in the West like Tesla are competing with The New Energy Plan in China.
While the Old Empire was fighting wars protecting the Oil blood flowing in the world economy, state-level planning in China has been building the totally new landscape for the economic growth in the Post Carbon Economy. One by one all critical bottlenecks in the new supply chains were taken under control. The ICE Age is over and new players are taking over. This geopolitical tectonic shift after Tesla earthquake is happening very fast, the Tsunami of Electric Cars is coming and lithium is the magic metal at the very heart of this energy rEVolution.
Lithium Race And Energy rEVolution: Reds Are Going Green - Electric Cars Are A Hit With Chinese Consumers.
Wall Street Journal made a very good report on the electric cars rEVolution which is happening today in China. The video report is stressing that all this success is the result of the industrial policy by the government in China. We have The New Energy Plan for the transition to Post Carbon Economy in action in China on a state level. With announcements from GM and Ford embracing electric cars, we have some hope in the West now not to be left in the poisonous DIEsel and Gas ICE Cars dust as well.
Lithium is the magic metal at the very heart of this Energy rEVolution and China is building the supply chains for the Next Industrial rEVolution with military discipline leaving the rest of the world totally unprepared for the coming geopolitical transition.
As you know, I have been preaching for years that security of lithium supply will be the most important factor determining the competitive advantage among different producers of critical raw materials for the Energy rEVolution. This Lithium Race will have the very far-reaching geopolitical implications. Now it looks like that Tesla is realizing that there is no secure supply of lithium for its massive expansion of operations from the underneath of Gigafactory floor in Nevada. Even if Panasonic is producing cathode for lithium cells which are made at Tesla Gigafactory in Nevada the supply chain is going all over the globe and back to China.
The real test to the market and supply chains for Energy rEVolution will come with the coming tide of Electric Cars and the following tsunami of Energy Storage. Bloomberg has recently reported that there will be more than 120 models of electric cars by 2020 and you should not be surprised as we have discussed here before that there are more than 70 models of electric cars on sale in China already. The next few years will determine who will have the keys to the new Energy rEVolution and control the supply chains. Hungry Dragons are flying high already and mostly in China, the question remains who and how will feed them without fear of being burnt in the process.
