Elobau Sensor's Miniature Thumbwheel
The miniature thumbwheel control is based on Hall effect technology and provides two output signals which can be combined in eight different options, including 0.5 to 4.5 Volts ratiometric outputs proportional to the rotation of the thumbwheel, and switching outputs. It is designed to be incorporated in the knob of a joystick or a multifunctional handle for a shifter, or into a control panel. It provides an accurate proportional control of auxiliary functions. The new function illuminated concept of the 175D allows the operator to clearly identify which function is activated, even in the presence of adverse lighting conditions. The illumination is provided by 3 different LED's, or 1 multifunction LED that will switch colors when the function is activated. The shape and color of the actuation cap are selectable, and standard operating angles are +/-10º and +/-30º. Detents are available upon request. The non-contact sensing technology ensures a longer service life, and the 175D thumbwheel operates in a range from -40ºC to +85ºC (-13ºF to +175ºF), with an IP67 protection class. A redundant output signal version is available for safety related applications.

"Stay away from Payne furnaces!"
Almost 6 years to the day our furnace completely broke down to the point of needing an entirely new unit. I don't remember what all the parts were that failed, but I am very angry and disappointrd in the product.
Location: Woodinville, WA
Satisfaction Rating:
Bought a Payne 036060 forced air gas about 8 years ago. It was easy to install, have had no problems what so ever. It is very easy to maintain, does not seem to get dirty, maybe helped out by the Honeywell electronic air cleaner that I also added.

"Ignitor goes out every 2 years - Payne Furnace"
Same as another reviewer - almost to the day the ignitor switch goes out. And of course it happens when it's 0 degrees out and there's just no way a person can wait to get it fixed. Each time has been a weekend too and therefore weekend rates or wait until Monday. I'm very unhappy with the Payne furnace.

"New unit cooling work fine in Aug 2008 now unit inop"
This unit was installed by a licensed tech on 13Jun08 the cooling was fine until we turned unit off in Aug now it doesn't even turn on so we are sitting in a cold house and the tech is saying there is a problem with the wiring in my home my question is why wasn't this detected when the unit was installed in Jun. I am filing a complaint on this contractor because my old unit a Carrier worked very well the only problem was I needed Freon every year. I paid almost 4000.00 for this new unit and only enjoyed it for 3 months.

"Payne Heating and Cooling"
Recently had a Payne installed in a small renovated house. A/C works great but the heat pump costs a fortune to run. The unit defers to the heat strips far too much. This may be an installation but the original installer assures me "everything" is fine. The worst part is the company itself. I called an e-mailed them in the hope of getting some questions answered and some ideas on how I could get more efficient use from the unit but they just want to send me back to the original contractor. They are completely unresponsive.

Satisfaction Rating:
This furnace was installed on condition of sale of this house to us. I have to say very disappointed with this unit. It stops working every two years and the ignitor has to be replaced. There have been 3 ignitors replaced in the last six years. We have already spent over $600 for service calls on this furnace. Not impressed at all.!!!!!

In the street, probably near your water and food sources -- causing untold death and disease from contamination. Get ready for a blunt, funny, powerful talk from journalist Rose George about a once-unmentionable problem.
[LESS INFO] 35 VIEWS | ADDED 16:00:41 12/14/12 Explorer Ben Saunders wants you to go outside! Not because it's always pleasant and happy, but because that's where the meat of life is, "the juice that we can suck out of our hours and days." Saunders' next outdoor excursion? To try to be the first in the world to walk from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back again.
[LESS INFO] 70 VIEWS | ADDED 15:00:42 06/14/12 In this short talk, TED Fellow Sarah Parcak introduces the field of "space archeology" -- using satellite images to search for clues to the lost sites of past civilizations.

[LESS INFO] 239 VIEWS | ADDED 15:59:54 11/15/11 Strapped to a jet-powered wing, Yves Rossy is the Jetman -- flying free, his body as the rudder, above the Swiss Alps and the Grand Canyon. After a powerful short film shows how it works, Rossy takes the TEDGlobal stage to share the experience and thrill of flying.
[LESS INFO] 230 VIEWS | ADDED 15:05:37 09/08/11 Before life existed on Earth, there was just matter, inorganic dead "stuff." How improbable is it that life arose? And -- could it use a different type of chemistry? Using an elegant definition of life (anything that can evolve), chemist Lee Cronin is exploring this question by attempting to create a fully inorganic cell using a "Lego kit" of inorganic molecules -- no carbon -- that can assemble, replicate and compete.
[LESS INFO] 74 VIEWS | ADDED 14:48:00 07/21/11 Kevin Slavin argues that we're living in a world designed for -- and increasingly controlled by -- algorithms.

[LESS INFO] 180 VIEWS | ADDED 14:00:00 04/18/11 By leading the Americans in his audience step by step through the thought process, sociologist Sam Richards sets an extraordinary challenge: can they understand -- not approve of, but understand -- the motivations of an Iraqi insurgent? And by extension, can anyone truly understand and empathize with another? (Filmed at TEDxPSU .)
[LESS INFO] 201 VIEWS | ADDED 14:09:00 03/15/11 We think of space as a silent place. But physicist Janna Levin says the universe has a soundtrack -- a sonic composition that records some of the most dramatic events in outer space.

Five years of work later, his haunting photos intertwine with a shocking history lesson in this bold, courageous talk. (Filmed at TEDxDU .)

ANCHORAGE - Falls are one of the most common injuries for the elderly, and sometimes the injuries sustained from a fall can be quite serious. At Serendipity, an adult day center run by the Salvation Army for people with dementia, exercise is an important part of the daily activities. But pretty soon, the exercises will change.
Serendipity is teaming up with the University of Alaska and the University of Washington to be part of a pilot program to see if a specific set of exercises can prevent falls.
"While all exercise is positive, not all exercise programs are going to get you the same results," said UAA researcher Diane King. "What's nice about this is that there is some research behind it." King said a first step will be training instructors at Serendipity how to teach the exercises. The program itself will probably start sometime in March and funding is set to run for the next two years.
In Alaska, icy conditions mean that falls are a big concern for just about everyone. But some people are more at risk than others, according to Dr. Barnard Farzin of Providence Hospital's Senior Care Center.
"Things like age, of course, 65 and over," said Dr. Farzin. "Women are at an increased risk. People who have arthritis or other neurological conditions, anything that makes you weak in the lower extremities is going to predispose you to a fall."
Dr. Farzin said falls can result in serious injuries including broken bones. But perhaps more distressing is when an injury from a fall spirals into something worse.
"The biggest thing you can lose when you fall is your independence," said Dr. Farzin. "And so if you do suffer one of these significant injuries, you might lose the ability to walk or you might be bedridden for an extended period of time. It's when that happens that you are at greatest risk for getting sick, potentially even dying."
Dr. Farzin said prevention is the most important part, and that older folks who've experienced even a little fall need to get checked out. Dr. Farzin said there are things that doctors can do to help patients prevent another one.
"We can send you to physical therapy. Maybe you aren't on the right combination of medication and we can take away the riskier ones and put you on a safer regiment. We can also optimize your home environment."
He said there are simple modifications that can help keep people on their feet, keep them injury free, and, hopefully, hang on to their independence as long as possible.

Phone 603-843-5850
Who am I? I'm a suburban father and husband, award-winning journalist and radio broadcaster, political blogger, online and print publisher, and musician (specifically, both acoustic and electric guitar, sometimes through very loud amplifiers).
Your Beliefs
At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable. This disclosure is not a license for you to inject your beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that your beliefs are on the record will cause you to be ever mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know.
Career highlights
I came to journalism in an unorthodox manner. After long stints working in retail, politics, broadcasting, and media and equipment sales, I decided to venture into community journalism.
I started out as a freelancer at various newspapers in Boston and around eastern Massachusetts, covering government meetings and producing features on local businesses and people.
Eventually, I was hired to be the reporter of the Belmont Citizen-Herald, in Belmont, Mass., in 2000 and was promoted to the editor's position at The Winchester Star in Winchester, Mass., in 2002, where I remained until 2004. In 2005, I won an IAFF Media Award in the editorial/column category for my work at The Star, advocating for properly compensated advanced life support ambulance services.
In late 2004, I was hired as a news reporter and anchor for WKXL 1450 AM in Concord, N.H. Along with my reporting duties, I hosted an hour block of arts and entertainment programming. In 2005, I was named news director and later, program director, and won a NHAB Golden Mic Award in the feature category. I was named CEO (station manager) at the end of 2005 and sales manager in 2006.
I returned to edit the Citizen-Herald in the spring of 2007. The newspaper was a finalist in the Best of Gatehouse 2008 Newspaper of the Year (non-daily) and I was a co-winner of a New England Press Association Award for government reporting that year too. I was named senior editor of GateHouse Media New England's Lexington office in 2010. In 2011, I won and co-won five New England Newspaper and Press Association Awards for 2010: A third place award for General Excellence; a second place award for Local Election Coverage; second and third place awards, in separate class divisions, for Educational Reporting; and second place for Overall Design. I was also named editor of the Lincoln Journal that year.
In June 2011, I was hired to be the local editor for the Concord, N.H., Patch site, and I'm very excited to be covering news and events in my hometown again.
In October 2012, Concord NH Patch was named Best Website by the New Hampshire Press Association.
Politics and religion
I've been interested in politics for many, many years, dating back to the days that I was dragged around by my parents as a pre-teen, attending events during the 1976 Democrat and Republican presidential primaries (I follow politics like other people follow sports). I have been writing and talking about politics and public policy since the 1980s, in print, online, and on the radio.
Philosophically, I consider myself a "liberal-tarian," meaning that my political values are a mix of traditional liberalism and small "L" libertarianism. The solutions to our nation's ills are a combination of all kinds of ideas and policies. No single political party or movement has a corner on the solutions. In the past, I've been registered as a Democrat, since I usually grab their primary ballots. I'm currently registered as an "undeclared" voter.
As far as religious beliefs go, I consider myself a very spiritual, New Testament Christian, who occasionally attends services at Catholic churches in Concord with my wife and children (my boys and I were baptized at St. John the Evangelist).
Personal interests
Hiking, reading the WSJ as well as books (topics: media, political history), watching movies, noodling in my home studio, saving the universe from the Covenant in online Halo games with my brothers and friends, listening to all kinds of music, and playing Whiffle ball and BBQing during the spring and summer months.
I am currently vice president of the Executive Committee of the Concord Substance Abuse Coalition. I've been on the board since 2006. In the past, I was a board member of the Friends of Forgotten Children. I am also the co-founder of the Concord Taxpayers Association and was co-chairman of the organization until May 2011. I am also a 2007 graduate of Leadership Greater Concord, a program offered by the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce.

Hi Erik,
Thanks for the note. I will send this on to the folks at corporate. The Patch strategy entails going into 15,000 to 80,000 towns and cities, with broadband and certain household income thresholds, where online news and event listings can flourish and be sustained by ad revenue. I don't know if they would come to the North Country or not but you could almost see one for the White Mountains, Lakes Region or Laconia-Weirs, maybe a combo site for FTN (Franklin, Tilton, Northfield), Keene, or even the Sunapee Valley.
Erik Corbett
3:54 pm on Monday, August 29, 2011
Have you ever thought of a North Country Patch? I don't know if any one city up here could generate enough interest but even if you had one for everything North of Concord it would be great.

Redistricting is the process of redrawing voting districts from which public officials are elected and typically takes place after each census and affects all jurisdictions that use districts, whether for members of Congress, state legislatures, county commissions, city councils or school boards. More
Redistricting - Q & A (2010 resource): By law, the U.S. Census Bureau must provide population counts to the states within one year of Census Day (April 1 every 10 years). States then engage in a time-consuming redistricting process to redraw election districts before the next election. Typically federal and statewide districts are redrawn first, then local election districts like county commissions and school boards follow.
Stacking, Cracking and Packing (2010 video): Hear the ACLU's Laughlin McDonald talk about how politicians use "gerrymandering" to dilute minority votes.
Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Redistricting But Were Afraid To Ask (2010 resource): This is the second edition of our pamphlet which attempts to answer some of the questions most frequently asked about redistricting. The law in the voting area is always evolving and different courts often interpret the same laws differently. If you have a specific question about redistricting or a problem not adequately covered in this pamphlet, you should seek legal advice.
The Looming 2010 Census: A Proposed Judicially Manageable Standard And Other Reform Options For Partisan Gerrymandering (2009 resource): Gerrymandering hinders voters from protecting their rights and voicing their interests through their votes, and the coming 2010 census and attendant redistricting underscore the need for a consistently applied standard for claims of partisan gerrymandering. Redistricting plans have withstood legal challenges because courts have been unable to interpret the conflicting Supreme Court rulings on partisan gerrymandering claims. Nothing in the Constitution expressly prohibits gerrymandering, and until Baker v. Carr, the Supreme Court had treated claims of unfair districting as nonjusticiable. This article describes the Court's decisions in Baker and in Davis v. Bandemer, in which the Supreme Court finally held partisan gerrymandering claims to be justiciable.

For those of you have read my blog for a while, it is probably obvious that I'm not really into celebrating holidays in a traditional way. I won't be wearing green today (although I have always said my green eyes count!) but I will share some of my favorite Green Recipes!
Let's start with my go to Green smoothie. This is a definite health beverage that I have developed a taste for. I just take 1 frozen banana, two cups of organic baby spinach and 2 c water and blend! When I start my day with one of these (and sometimes I add 4 c of water and make it really think, almost like a juice).
Sprouting is a simple way to add some green goodness into your diet! It's super cheap and easy to do. All you need is a clean glass jar, a knee high pantyhose (brand new obviously) and a rubber band. Check out this post for further instructions! I love packing salads and collard wraps with sprouts and sometimes just mix several different kinds together (my favorite are red clover, lentil, hot mustard and broccoli sprouts) for a SPROUT SALAD! When I am really low on funds sprouting allows me to get some good GREEN produce into my diet!

A reader asked me to write the follow-up to last year's piece on how a man might put together a professional wardrobe on a budget of $5-7,000 annually. In the first year, I recommended purchasing a medium-weight suit, a blazer, and an odd jacket with accessories, and then planning to focus on lighter weight clothing the second year.
Again budgeting about $1,000 for a suit or a jacket and trousers combination, in the second year acquire a navy blue suit in a ten month cloth, a light gray tropical weight suit and a discreetly patterned lightweight odd jacket with a tan ground as well as a pair of light gray tropical wool trousers. This provides a total of three suits for warm weather wear, as well as a blazer and two odd jackets for less formal occasions.
It is a little harder to be specific about accessories in this and future years since it is difficult to predict the rate at which things wear out and need to be replaced, but, barring disaster, all of last year's clothing should still be serviceable. Add a pair of cordovan colored monkstrap shoes with matching belt to the purchase list and take last year's shoes to a cobbler for new heels. The repairs will extend their life.
Next, re-visit a shirtmaker for another half dozen button cuff dress shirts, half of them for year-round wear and half in lighter weight cloth. Pick up a couple pair of wool and a couple pair of cotton dress socks to extend that part of your wardrobe. Ditto for underwear.
Finally, pick out another half dozen neckties if you are wearing them at least two days a week. And that will take care of the budget for dressy clothing.
Looking ahead to year three, the focus should be adding three more mid-weight suits so a different one is available for each day of the week.

Jefferson equips readers to become devoted vessels for God's miraculous works with his new book, On the Way to a Miracle.
Maitland, FL (PRWEB) November 14, 2012
Within the pages of Austin J. Jefferson's new book, On the Way to a Miracle ($16.99, paperback, 978-1-61996-690-1; $8.49, e-book, 978-1-61996-691-8) readers will gain knowledge of the ministry of reconciliation according to 2 Corinthians 5:18. What the Bible emphasizes, that the author desires to communicate, is the ability of all believers to heal the sick, cast out demons, work miracles and to love one another.
"This book provides answers to one of society's biggest problems... sickness and disease," states the author. "The knowledge and revelation shared in this book is life changing—equipping the Body of Christ to set the captives free. This book teaches believers how to be used of God to heal their loved ones and 'their neighbors', to be used of God to touch and love people."
Austin J. Jefferson has dedicated his life to serve God and he is focused on making disciples and training others to walk in the ministry of reconciliation. Austin is currently pursuing a Masters of divinity degree at the Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Charlotte, N.C. He is a graduate of the University of Alabama with a bachelor's degree in finance. Austin is also the founder of Passion For Him Incorporated; the parent company for Room For Talent—an online social network used to encourage individuals to use their talents to glorify God.
Xulon Press, a division of Salem Communications, is the world's largest Christian self-publisher, with more than 8,000 titles published to date. Retailers may order On the Way to a Miracle through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors. The book is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.

Grammy Award winning singer of children's music Barbara Bailey Hutchison performed at Fairlane Elementary School on Friday, February 22. The concert was sponsored by the Macon County Arts Council.
Hutchison has appeared at the White House three times and performed in nearly all 50 states, as well as countries like Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and Thailand.
She is originally from Detroit, Michigan, where she began her musical career as a college student at Michigan State University. According to the biography on her website, www.bbhsings.com, "she gained a loyal following performing in the local listening rooms and music clubs." Soon she was touring the US on a college and university circuit, and a national magazine poll voted her "Best Solo Performer," "Best Acoustic Performer," and "Best Female Performer."
Later, she became a recognized voice in the advertising world, heard in hundreds of commercials; among the brands she was associated with were Hallmark, Heinz, and McDonald's.
She won her Grammy Award in 1996, after entering a new genre. She'd agreed to be the voice of a collection of original lullabies for friend and producer J. Aaron Brown. The category was "Best Musical Recording for Children," and after she received this nationally recognized honor, calls started coming in for concerts geared towards family and children, according to her website.
Her songs, as performed at Fairlane, are indeed fresh and witty, as claimed in this biography, and she had students singing along to tunes such as "Potato" (set to the tune of the "Mexican Hat Dance"): "I imagine them under their acres/ Out in Idaho and up in Maine/ Maybe wondering if they'll be bakers/ Or French fries or latkes or plain…"
Hutchison keeps a steady tour of appearances, mostly in elementary schools and libraries, and gives musical workshops as well. Full touring schedule is available on the website.

I have been wondering lately, generally how do you fellow husbandos consider your waifu? I mean, is your waifu:
-just your favorite character?
-just your personification of your perfect partner?
-the actual love of your life?Your wording shows some bias, but I'll let that pass, along with the question being directed at "husbandos", which does not suit me at all.
Favorite character? From her "world", yes. Beyond that it doesn't matter.
Perfect partner? That ideal can change, so I would never label anyone that way.
Love of my life? I don't compare 2D to 3D, and since I'm 3D, so should that be.
I'll leave it at this for now. It's not like I enjoy talking about myself.

Granted, I used a $1,000,000 dollar note, as a base, then worked from there.
Basically, its a - "paperchild" - of sorts, but, its not limited to (just) that...
You can use any (Waifu/Husbando) image that is available to you, however, that's a personal choice on - "What" - to use.
As always, be creative, let it be personal, let it be meaningful (to you) and (most importantly) - "ENJOY" - and HAVE FUN!!

What kind of wedding band does your waifu have or which kind of wedding bands do you share with your waifu/husbando?
I went with a simple symbolic band because Youko tends to get mixed up in the occasional skirmish from tiem to tiem. Its rather bothersome to have to clean out gore from a jeweled band, and I didn't want her to worry about it.
It doesn't need to be flashy to symbolize our matrimony.Posted 1 year ago # -

Don't call it anything. I don't know about you, but I didn't actively choose a waifu because I hate real women and want to join other people in spreading the word how 2D is superior. Tenshi represented my ideal girl, and then I found a real person who has every trait I like and who I can actually interact with. There's no "movement."I keep 2D to 2D and 3D to 3D, so far. Saya and I have been going on for over 2 years now, during which a 3D relationship came and left. I never told anyone I knew offline directly about my online persona, though. Not out of "shame" for being associated with this site or any of the people here, but it would limit what I can do online in the future.
No more pro-lolicon posts, no more random trolling, no more crazy semi-autistic confession posts, no more weird fetish postings.
Some of my offline friends know about Saya though, but not the depth of my involvement. They think it's a joke.

To add another twist to the Colorado scene, Pratt and Gilles seem to be skating together again.
Interesting, had Pratt and Gilles retired?
I commuted from Ann Arbor to Bloomfield Hills a few times a week during my first 2 years of college. It took 45 minutes in the best of conditions, and 2.5 hours in the worst. By my junior year, it became impossible to schedule classes around that anymore. I don't think there's any way you could be a full-time student and make that commute every day for 3-4+ hours on the ice.
Kevin: He compared Scott to a disposable feminine cleansing product one might use on a summer's eve.
Meagan: Yeah, and the bag it came in. -The Big Bang Theory, performed by the Canadian WTT team and interpreted by Cyn.
Trina is skating with Justin for this season. Just goes to show you how much she must enjoy skating. Todd Gilles is the partner for this season.

I don't remember ever seeing Pratt/Gilles, but I've read several positive comments about their previous partnership. It will be interesting to see how things go with them. I'm still about the demise of S/G though.
So no one knows what Yuri and Yasa's situation is? Does anyone in MI know if they're staying in Ann Arbor? Summer is soon approaching and I'd think skaters would need to plan for training locations. The WA hasn't announced any new coaches at this point, so the summer dance program is sans dance expertise as of now. The dance coaches formerly at WA are relocating to other rinks. It will be interesting to see what would happen in Colorado Springs if there are actually competing training programs within the same city.
I loved both with Gilles (and Trina Pratt actually managed to make Chris Obzansky interesting to watch), but I was a fan of P/G from their novice season on -- if you're curious to see what P/G looked like, Skateweb has a couple of their programs available on the Christopher Dean choreography page here:
There is a flyer at the WA promoting a seminar in April that will be given by Yuri and Yasa. Maybe this is the first step to a relocation?
Perhaps Lynn and Logan might go to Krylova and Camerlengo? Is it close enough?

Sen. Kirk upgraded to 'good' condition, watched Super Bowl
Sen. Mark Kirk. (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh, File)
Updated: October 24, 2012 10:09PM
Sen. Mark Kirk's condition has been upgraded from "fair" to "good."
Doctors hope to be able to re-attach the 8-inch-by-4-inch section of his skull that had to be removed after he suffered a stroke two weeks ago.
Then the Highland Park Republican can begin physical therapy.
"Sen. Kirk is making good progress in his recovery," said Richard Fessler, his neurosurgeon at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. "He is visiting with family and even watched the Super Bowl last night. He has been upgraded to good condition, and we anticipate he will be able to start the rehabilitation phase soon."
Fessler has said he believes Kirk can make a full mental recovery from the stroke, though he may not regain full use of his left arm and leg and may have some facial paralysis.
Kirk saw President Barack Obama act on one of his signature initiatives Sunday night, freezing all assets of Iran's Central Bank.
Legislation pushed by Kirk that took effect this year requires the president to seize assets of financial institutions judged to be aiding Iran's nuclear program.
The legislation not only requires financial institutions here to seize Iranian assets, but also allows the president to sanction financial institutions in other countries that do business with the Iranian government.
Kirk campaigned on a platform of using economic sanctions to force a halt to Iran's goal of nuclear weapons.
The Obama administration opposed Kirk's bill, but Kirk led the Senate last year in adding the legislation to the Defense Reauthorization Act over the administration's objections.
The administration agreed to the bill when language was added allowing Obama to exempt some foreign financial institutions.

Soiree bottle-top Wine Decanter & Aerator
The Soiree is a wine accessory that fits into any standard corked wine bottle allowing you to pour, without dripping, directly through the Soiree. Once you place the Soiree in the wine bottle, the Soiree aerates your wine as you pour it. The Soiree allows you to decant just the portion of wine you want-a glass or a carafe. The Soiree can also be used to pour the wine into a decanter, further expediting the "opening" of your wine. The Soiree has dimples in the glass increasing the surface area of the glass which not only agitate the wine, but infuse more oxygen in the wine. Soiree is a bottle-top wine aerator. Soiree fits securely into any wine bottle allowing you to pour, without dripping directly through the Soiree. By pouring wine with a Soiree, the Soiree creates an intermediary stage where the wine is infused with oxygen and then cascades into your glass. In using the Soiree to aerate your wine, you will notice the subtleties and character of the wine emerge immediately upon entering your glass. Soiree delivers a truly "open" wine just by pouring through it.

Vicki Powell's seventh-graders thought they were simply sending valentines to soldiers overseas, but they got a much bigger thank-you for it than they expected.
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Ricky Blue came to Fuquay-Varina Middle School on June 5 to present the school a flag which flew in the Bengals' honor over Camp Arifjan, Kuwait.
The flag was raised at the base on March 28, 2012, in response to the arrival of valentines that Powell's language arts class wrote to soldiers stationed in Afghanistan and Kuwait. Powell said that she was told the messages "did so much for their [soldiers'] morale."
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Blue presented Powell with a framed certificate, which thanked the school for contributing "immensely to the health and welfare of the Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Airmen" at the Kuwaiti base.
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Blue then called the Military Color Guard onstage as he presented Principal Mark Holley with the flag.
The flag will be placed in a trophy case in the school's lobby.
'Something special'
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Blue told students that he was touched by their care packages and "decided to do something special" for them in return.
He also acknowledged his "loving wife and loving kids," including his son Hunter, who is one of Powell's students.
Holley urged students to consider "the power you possess as a seventh grader," which made people halfway around the world feel happier. He also urged them to appreciate what Blue and his fellow soldiers do for the United States.
"There are many nations in the world where you would not be afforded the opportunity to come to a school like this on a daily basis," Holley said.
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Blue repeated this urge, telling students to "never take for granted what you have."
'Highlight of my career'
Powell said she was "thrilled" that Chief Warrant Officer 2 Blue presented the flag to the school, which she did not think had happened at FVMS before.
"This is such a highlight of my career, to have the writing of my students recognized in such a superlative way," she said.
Powell also said that the valentine idea was meant to give her students "appreciation for the outstanding, ongoing that our military men and women do every day."
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Blue came home on Memorial Day for "R&R" (rest and recuperation). He reported to Kuwait for his tour of duty with the North Carolina National Guard 113th Sustainment Brigade on Dec. 9, 2011. He said that the Brigade is "responsible for taking everything out of Iraq" and moving it to Kuwait.

In an effort to diversify its energy portfolio, the Atlanta-based utility has also explored wind, solar and hydro.
Black & Veatch finds that utility executives are also keeping a close eye on distributed generation, renewable portfolio standards and smart grid initiatives.
Pat Quinn's veto of S.B.9 is being perceived by some as a blow to grid modernization in Illinois.
Wind and solar will take up the largest shares of new power capacity added in terms of gigawatts by 2030, accounting for 30% and 24%, respectively.
According to the Solar Electric Power Association, almost 1.5 GW of new solar capacity was added to the U.S. grid last year.
