Anniversary of Blackbeard's death falls on Thanksgiving
Eastern Carolina is known for its rich maritime history. It just so happens that Thursday is the 294th anniversary of Blackbeard's death.
The infamous pirate was killed on Nov. 22, 1718 at Ocracoke Inlet, when he and his men battled against ships sent by the governor of Virginia, led by Lieutenant Robert Maynard.
Maynard was able to return to Virginia, with Blackbeard's severed head.
Blackbeard, also known as Edward Teach, lived in the Beaufort County town of Bath, the oldest town in North Carolina, during the summer of 1718.
The year before, he and his men captured a French slave ship, and renamed it Queen Anne's Revenge. That vessel became his flagship as he raided for bounty in the Caribbean.
The Queen Anne's Revenge shipwreck was discovered in 1996 in the Atlantic Ocean, near Fort Macon State Park in Atlantic Beach. Several of the ship's cannons and more than 16,000 artifacts have been recovered. The artifacts are being displayed at the north carolina maritime museum in Beaufort.

With an overactive bladder, you may:
Although you may be able to get to the toilet in time when you sense an urge to urinate, unexpected frequent urination and nighttime urination can disrupt your life.
Although it's common among older adults, overactive bladder isn't a normal part of aging. If your symptoms distress you, consider behavior strategies and management options. Treatments are available that might help you.
Discussing such a private matter with your doctor might not be easy, but it's worthwhile to take that risk — especially if your symptoms disrupt your work schedule, social interactions and everyday activities.

The added edge you need
"I am not usually a fan of gold... but these are so amazing. The straps are sexy and make any outfit look hot. They do run a little big, but I have a very narrow foot, so I recommend trying them on first. Get them! They are awesome!"

Pretty to look at, but cheaply made
"These are beautiful shoes, and fairly comfortable as well. However, the gold on the shoes is like a cheaply painted on gold lame. It wrinkles and creases when you move and gives me the feeling that it would peel off if nicked in any way. They are pretty to look at, but I don't feel confident wearing them and NOT having them end up destroyed after the first wear. I'm returning them."

Good morning PLANET EARTH
October 03 2009 01:28AM
No doubt you've noticed some changes around here. Yeah, this is has been sometime in the making. We had to enslave an entire wing of the local library to find the nerd-power necessary to get this far. And on top of that, we had to buy majority shares in Jolt Cola to make sure everything launched on time.
This was all Wanye's idea. And when I asked him to help test the site tonight, he just yelled, "IHAVETOGOTOPOKER!"
So I tested it — along with developer boy-genius Jeffu.
And we registered and re-registered on the new sites. Until it was perfect**.
And when we phoned Wanye to tell him we were live, all he had to say from his poker game was, "What the f&*$?! What time is it? Holy crap, it took forever! You poor bastards working through the night..."
This was said in between loud cursing and the sounds of breaking glass.
But as sure as the sun rises, so do we... Ahem. I didn't mean for it to sound like that.
Welcome to the dawn of a new Nation (or Army depending on your timezone).
We'll be rolling out new features (and importing our old content) over the next little while, so stay tuned. In the meantime, register, comment and enjoy the sexy new look.
** I was joking about perfect. It's still something of a work in progress. If you find any bugs, email them to email@example.com. Oh yeah, we have real email addresses now.
More on that after I finish this mickey of cough medicine and pass-out in the kitchen.
AWESOME. Nicely done boys.
October 03 2009, 03:45AM
That's some nice work boys. The site looks great. The writing and presentation on this site rivals any main stream journalistic or board discussing Oilers Hockey.
Oh, and I agree that the Oil miss the dance again this year, but may well find something for next.
Dang son...she's a dandy for sure! Nice work Gentlemen and Cyborg!
that picture = EPIC WIN
F'ing Awesome, gents. Well done.
lookin' good.
~so good, i still cant find an edit button~
October 03 2009, 07:01AM
Hey way to go guys it looks great!! First thing I did was sign up. Keep up the good work. (Also in the goat and star section you should make it so you cant change your choices after putting them in lol)
October 03 2009, 07:04AM
New site is very sweet
October 03 2009, 07:57AM
ohh, i am now a citizen of the nation!
October 03 2009, 08:06AM
Oh man you should really warn a guy this early in the morning. It's like you bursted into the room and turned light on instead of gently nudging me awake.
I'm glad to be awake though! I like this place.
October 03 2009, 08:23AM
lookin' good.
~so good, i still cant find an edit button~
Editing comments is one of the many features we have planned, but it just couldn't make it in time for the initial site re-launch.
Expect it to be rolled out in the next while here!
October 03 2009, 08:45AM
Well done ON!
Now if our mighty Oilers can perform as well as your technogeeks we're in for a great season.

I've been reading here all summer. The season starts tonight and I have just become a citizen of the nation. It just doesn't get any better than this!
Well done boys! New season tonight, new website in the morning... A win and we have the makings of a perfect day.
October 03 2009, 09:11AM
I guess I was wrong when I said it doesn't get much better. I just bought my ticket to the game tonight! Season Opener woohoo!!
October 03 2009, 09:12AM
OMG... What a way to start a saturday morning. In my hung overness I thought I was dreaming, then I thought Wayne must have broke the nation in a drunken tirade... When my blurry blood shot eyes cleared, it revealed this... the celestine chapel of web sites related to the Oilers.
Well done artists of the interwebs
October 03 2009, 09:23AM
Wow, good looking site.
Now if the Oiles can get some ice girls........
Big upgrade boys, and girl!
October 03 2009, 09:37AM
How long was I passed out for? Did the Flames make the playoffs? Oil?
October 03 2009, 09:38AM
Nice one. Like the new look. Here's to a season of well-hydrated elderly goalies and overachieving midgets.

Great site! I wish I had an email address that was email@example.com! I looked at the wallpaper. Laughed so hard when I read: "Options: 1. Right-click on the size of your choosing and hit 'Save As' to download for free. (recommended) 2. Send $5000.00 to OilersNation.com and have your wallpaper mailed out on a 3.5" floppy." When can I give you my credit card number?

Whoa! Love the new digs, kids!
Also, the Oilers will mudhole stomp the Flames by 37 goals tonight. Book it.
Dig the new look.
I must plead with you though. Please oh please, make a mobile version of your site. I spend a lot of my days on the go, and if not for my trusty iPhone, I wouldn't be able to waste countless hours of my day browsing the Nation.
It'd be nice to be able to hit it up and get a nice, fitted page with big buttons and all that.
Pretty please?
October 03 2009, 11:32AM
Site looks great! Hope the Oilers have this nice a start to the season. Go Oilers! 5-1 tonight.

I feel like such a Calgary Flame... you know, like a loser.
Why does my cel phone show comments that have been goin on all morning from the copper & blue Brownlee post but my computer shows 7 comments total?
@Chamucks Deluxe
My name IS RossCreek, not Ross Creek. Isn't it cool to have a capital letter in the middle of your name?
Aaaaannndd..we're back. Little bit of site burp there. Nice update there boys. Please put a burner on the blog roll. Maybe looks like you'll have to add the JAG site to that list too.
Congrats boys!!! GO OILERS!!!
October 03 2009, 12:54PM
Gotta love the new site. Looks great giggity, giggity.
Hey boys!
Site looks great,
one quick thing that I think just slipped through the cracks is at the top it says Wins Losses and OT Wins... I think it should say OT losses :)
Other than that, great job!

Why does my cel phone show comments that have been goin on all morning from the copper & blue Brownlee post but my computer shows 7 comments total?
I'm hoping it's just my computer at work rejecting the Nation because this site is just screwed on my comp right now. Everything is showing written by bingofuel. I can only see a couple comments on each article. I can't register as a member od the Nation.... I can't drink until I go home.
October 03 2009, 12:57PM
I miss the Ford ad's...:(
October 03 2009, 12:57PM
Looks good guys! I've been reading since August, but now the new sites giving me the inspiration to sign up. Let's hope it's a damn good season for the Oil! I might have to check out this home for the Oilers Nation tonight to watch the game.

I have spent a wonderful day editing my master research list, ticking off those items I was able to locate and view while in Salt Lake. I managed to view nine rolls of film and roughly seventeen publications. Some yielded family wide information others items were just eliminated as possible resources.
Now is the time to use the information located and eliminated to analyze, resolve conflicts, make conclusions and develop new research plans.
I also have some assignments gleaned from networking at the conference. Most importantly, I need to get back into the daily grind of running my business Nosy Wilma LLC, a private investigative firm here in Tucson. It seems a week is forever for some of my clients to not have me at their beck and call - not to worry - I'm back!

Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Mystic Topaz
With a rainbow play of colors, mystic topaz flashes mostly green and purple hues with gorgeous streaks of red and blue. It is a natural topaz that has been color-enhanced by coating it with a fine layer of metal atoms in a process called "vacuum deposition." The result is a shimmer of colors across the surface of the stone. This "fire" has made mystic topaz an incredibly popular gemstone. In fact, with a rank on the Mohs Scale of 8.0, it is a wonderful stone for jewelry. Look for mystic topaz under a variety of descriptive names, including mystic fire, rainbow topaz or titanium topaz.
A selection of our jewelry is made of sterling palladium alloy. Palladium is a member of the platinum group of precious metals. By replacing a portion of the copper content used in standard sterling silver with palladium, this proprietary formula renders a precious metal with superior performance attributes. Sterling palladium is five times more tarnish-resistant than standard sterling silver and has strength similar to that of 14K gold.
Palladium has been used as a precious metal in jewelry since 1939, originally as an alternative to platinum for making white gold. Its naturally white color requires no rhodium plating. Additionally, palladium is proportionally much lighter than platinum and is ideal for use in heavier gemstone jewelry. It is a more expensive alloy than nickel, but it seldom causes the allergic reactions that nickel alloy can.

A winner right out of the gate in 2009, the Brooks Launch keeps striding forward as a popular lightweight daily trainer.
A shoe that was lightweight in 2009 must be a total chunk now, right? Not if it's the Brooks Launch. This lightweight trainer still comes in at a very respectable weight (9.1 oz for Men's, 8.1 oz for Women's), but more importantly continues to feel fleet underfoot according to our testers.
The quick feel of the Launch is a bit of a surprise when you take a few steps and realize just how cushioned this shoe is. Testers noted that the shoe feels extremely plush both when heel striking and midfoot striking. All that cushioning comes at a bit of a price though - don't expect the Launch to be the most responsive lightweight trainer on the market. Like some of our testers, you may have trouble finding the bottom of the cushioning, especially in the forefoot.
The upper of the shoe, while on the streamlined side, still fit many of our testers just right. The narrow, close fit is typical of lighter weight trainers, and helped our testers to feel securely in place. No hotspots were reported.
We're not surprised to see the longevity of the Launch. It's a very agreeable package for the runner who needs a lightweight trainer to rack up the miles in comfort.
I can see why so many people train in this shoe. It's very comfortable, and I can see racking up a bunch of miles with ease.
Very smooth landing for heel and midfoot strikers, but since it's more of a traditional design, a forefoot strike feels a bit forced.
This is a great lightweight trainer; its easy to see how this shoe has gone unchanged for so many years.

The Emery School District held their district spelling bee on Jan. 24. Those participating were the grade level winners from each school in the district with the exclusion of Emery High as the spellers can only be up to and including eighth grade.
There were 22 contestants that competed in the bee. Patty Lyman was the judge for the event and Julie Taylor was the facilitator who discussed the rules and read the words to the students.
"The school winners are the cream of the crop. They have worked so hard to be school winners and Emery District had plaques made to recognize the champions," said Taylor.
Jed Jensen from the school district handed out the plaques to all of the school winners. The spelling rounds began with the first round where the students were given a practice word to accustom them to the microphone and the format of the spelling bee.
Taylor encouraged the students not to get excited and flustered, but to take a deep breath and make sure they understand the word they have to spell before they begin spelling. She encouraged them to pronounce the word out loud back to the presenter to make sure they have the correct pronunciation and the right word as many words in the English language have more than one spelling and/or meaning.
The students can ask the presenter for the correct definition of a word and to have the word used in a sentence.Taylor encouraged the students to repeat the word back to the judge to make certain of the word they are being asked to spell. Taylor said only three people of the 22 contestants will go on to the regional event which will include spellers from Carbon, Emery, Grand and San Juan counties. One single winner of the regional spelling bee will have the opportunity to go to Washington DC for the National Spelling Bee in June.
"Think of the word and visualize it before you spell it," said Taylor. The students began by spelling the 100 words from their books and after those words were used up they began on alternate words. One new rule this year for the bee is in the finals if someone misses a word then the next person will have their own word to spell and will not just spell the word the other person missed.
The parents of the students were encouraged to speak up if they have pronounced a word different than the presenter during practice. She would allow the parent to say their pronunciation and the student could go ahead and spell the word. Taylor encouraged everyone to listen carefully to the words. Any protests or appeals must be made before the next round begins.
The spelling began with the first round with words like: waltz, fiesta, bagel, massage, caboose, bonanza, waffle, ninja, fresco, vanilla, topical, buckwheat, cotton and magazine. The spelling continued through 15 rounds and the field was narrowed down to three.
Kunal Sah from Green River, Brittany Fauver from San Rafael and Olivia Burton from Canyon View.
Some of the words at the end which put students out were: quarantine, laryngitis and crocuses. Kunal was given the word diminutive to spell which he did correctly and then the anticipated championship word of recurrence which he spelled to win the bee. Then Brittany and Olivia faced off for second and third with the words, plaid, agile, census and lieutenant. Brittany ended up in third place with Olivia in second place.
Everyone who participated is listed with their contestant number, grade and school:
1. Mikiah MacDonald (Cottonwood - fourth grade)
3. Shaylynn Jones (Ferron - fourth grade)
5. Spencer Fehlberg (Canyon View - eighth grade) runner-up
6. Zachary Prettyman (Castle Dale - sixth grade)
7. Chase Fausett (Huntington Elementary - fourth grade)
8. Anastasia Siaperas (Book Cliff - fifth grade)
9. Tyler Pulli (Huntington - sixth grade)
10. Morgan Thompson (San Rafael - eighth grade)
11. Olivia Burton ( Canyon View - seventh) second Place
12. Marilyn Malan (Ferron - sixth grade)
13. Whitney Murdoch (Cleveland - fifth grade)
14. Dakota Wetherington (Book Cliff - fourth grade)
15. Shaydee Murray (Huntington - fifth grade)
16. Brittany Fauver (San Rafael - seventh grade) third Place
17. Mariah Behling (Ferron - fifth grade)
18. McKlane Moss (Cottonwood - fifth grade)
19. Derick Cook (Cleveland - sixth grade)
20. Allie Osness (Castle Dale - fifth grade)
21. Hanna Nielsen (Castle Dale - fourth grade)
22. Andi Smith (Cottonwood - sixth grade)
23. Kunal Sah (Green River - eighth grade) first place
24. Bailey Rasmussen - (Cleveland - fourth grade)
Kunal Sah spelled like the seasoned champion he is as he has won the Emery District bee each year since his fourth grade year making him a four year champion. Last year he won the regional bee as well and competed in Washington D.C. in June 2006. Kunal would ask for the country of origin for the word and for a definition before spelling each word to give himself time to make sure he had the correct word in mind for spelling.
The regional spelling bee will be held March 1 at Green River High School.

Athlete Photo Gallery
Louie Vito erupted onto the snowboarding scene in 2005 and has stayed on top ever since. Training for the Olympics, competing around the world, and winning over the hearts of America on Dancing With the Stars, Louie is exceptional at all he does.
Vito has won four of the past six U.S. Grand Prix Overall Championships, five X Games medals and two Winter Dew Tour Cup overall titles. With his remarkable presence in the halfpipe and endeavors off the mountain, he has cemented his place as one of the greatest snowboarders of his generation.
In 2014 Vito continued to prove his competitive prowess by earning his fifth X Games medal while serving as the co-host for the event's live television broadcast. He narrowly missed making his second Olympic team, landing in fourth place at three out of the five Olympic qualifiers. With a second-place finish in the 2014 Word Snowboard Tour halfpipe rankings, you can be sure that Vito isn't done dominating the big ditch.
When he's not snowboarding or traveling, Vito is posted at his house relaxing. He says "Sometimes I go skating or clean my house from the winter disaster I make inside, and just hang with the homies, since they are always in and out all winter also."

Emile Hirsch Gossip
Emile Hirsch gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Emile Hirsch scraps at Sundance
John Parra/ George Pimentel/ Ray Tamarra/ Jason Merritt/ Jamie McCarthy/ Getty Images
It's been a while since we've written about Emile Hirsch, one of my all-time least favorite people of the celebrity persuasion (click here and here for why Lainey can't stand him). Full Story
Bonnie & Emile Hirsch
Jason Merritt/ Getty
Emile Hirsch is not my favourite. I had to listen to him one night enjoying the sound of his own voice while lecturing at Robert Pattinson about film and it was enough. So what I'm saying is maybe I'm biased. Maybe I'm incapable of watching a trailer for Bonnie & Clyde, with Hirsch playing Hyde, and seeing the art. Full Story
Fassbender & the VitaminWater rooftop
Don't be mad at me but I've run out of time now and can't write up the Fassy Zoey article from last night. They were at the CAA SmartWater party. Together. And OMG, it's hot and crazy at the same time. But more on that later. To make up for how much I suck, please find attached some great photos of Michael Fassbender signing autographs for fans at his hotel yesterday and at the Shame presser today. Full Story
Freedom: just in time for the weekend
Lindsay LOHAN was released from house arrest yesterday. Her 25th birthday is on Saturday. Great timing. There was a really funny story that LOHAN's people fed to TMZ yesterday about her being afraid to go out because of the paps. At the time, they insisted that LOHAN would be staying home for a while. Full Story
Kristen Bell Schadenfreude
It's a guarantee – whenever Kristen Bell shows up somewhere looking like sh-t, I will hear from Laura. She'll be in a great mood, it'll set the tone for the rest of her day, for our day as, among the many things we share, Kristen Bell Hate is something we developed together, at the same time, at Sundance, when that little twat was such a f-cking bitch to the entire media line at a party, an even bigger bitch than P Diddy at the same party (which is saying something in itself and at this point Veronica Mars was over) that we vowed never to bother with her ass ever again. Full Story
Caleb & Macauley Culkin's little brother
Caleb Followill is engaged – Us Weekly reports exclusively. Her name is Lily Aldridge. A model, obviously. They've been together a while. And in exactly four weeks from tomorrow, Kings of Leon will release the highly anticipated Come Around Sundown, their follow-up to the massively successful Only By The Night. Full Story
Cute on a bike
Isn't he? This is Jim Sturgess, #1 on my Freebie Five, in Montreal the other day on the set of Upside Down. Kirsten Dunst (who was in New York for the weekend) co-stars in the independent film that's been described as part sci-fi, part romance: Look up towards the sky and rub your eyes because you won't believe what you see: cities, forests, and oceans with their own inverted gravity, only an arm's length away, yet completely unreachable. Full Story
Soho House/Grey Goose Part 4
Only caught a quick glimpse of Natalie Portman and her new man. She is SO small. And that skirt is shorter than you think. The outfit also looks better than it photographs. Portman was having a word with Carey Mulligan. It was all I could do not to have a Sapphic meltdown all over the grand piano. Mulligan stayed close to Maggie Gyllenhaal most of the time, with Peter Sarsgaard coming in and out of their little area. Full Story
Emile WHO?
Robert Pattinson was hanging out with Emile Hirsch in Cannes. We were there that night at the Du Cap when they arrived and, for Laura, I endured two hours of his bullsh-t before I made her leave. Because I could no longer stand Emile Hirsch's groundbreaking Ph.D dissertation on filmmaking. Click here Full Story
Pippy's not climbing the mountain
He said he would climb Kilimanjaro for charity, then his girlfriend decided to tag along, but he got booked for a movie so he backed out, and since she doesn't get booked for sh-t, she had to keep at it. Along with Emile Hirsch who was confirmed yesterday as the "surprise" celebrity. Full Story
Jessica & JT together in Vancouver: first photos
Well that didn't take long. Here they are, the first photos of Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake in Vancouver together this afternoon after lunch with her assistant. Why does she need an assistant? She's always with the assistant. Anyway, am told they seemed "fine", low key, and held hands as they left. Full Story

SCC student Richard Stevens (left) works with CNC program instructor Keith Smith. Stevens was the first Shoreline CNC student to receive his national certification from the National Institute for Metalworking Skills
Shoreline Community College and 10 other community and technical colleges in Washington state are among the first in the nation to implement a new national program touted by President Obama as key to getting Americans back to work.
Working together, the 11 colleges are offering a two-quarter certificate in computer-numeric controlled machining. The course is designed specifically to meet the needs of the aerospace industry and move well-trained workers into well-paying jobs.
"This is exactly the kind of response industry, students and taxpayers need from our community and technical colleges," said Mary Kaye Bredeson, Director for the Center of Excellence for Aerospace and Advanced Materials Manufacturing based at Everett Community College. The Center is a one-stop resource center for education and industry in Washington.
The11 Washington colleges are: Bellingham, Columbia Basin, Everett, Green River, Olympic, Shoreline, South Puget Sound and Yakima Valley community colleges along with Bates and Renton Technical College and Lake Washington Technical Institute.
"We're aligning the needs of students and industry," Shoreline Community College President Lee Lambert said. "When we do that, we're helping the economy get back on track."
The national program, Right Skills Now, was designed by The Manufacturing Institute, an affiliate of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), to respond to the immediate talent crisis facing manufacturing industries across the country. According to a new study by The Manufacturing Institute and Deloitte, more than 80 percent of manufacturers report not finding people to fill skilled production jobs. As a result, there as many as 600,000 manufacturing jobs open right now in the United States, the report says.
Right Skills Now has gained national recognition as part of the efforts and recommendations endorsed by the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness .
"We are pleased to acknowledge the efforts in Washington to launch Right Skills Now," said Jennifer McNelly, Senior Vice President at the Manufacturing Institute. "The state joins a national community implementing this accelerated path built on the Manufacturing Skills Certification System, to train and deliver just-in-time talent to manufacturers so they can sustain and expand operations."
The key principles of Right Skills Now programs include:
· Fast-tracked, for-credit career training
· Industry credentials with value in the workplace
· Pathways to advancement and degrees
Right Skills Now allows individuals to earn college credit and national industry certifications in two academic quarters, preparing them for immediate employment in high-quality manufacturing jobs and giving them a solid foundation to advance in higher education and careers. Training partners include ACT, the certifying body for the National Career Readiness Certificate – the foundational credential in the Manufacturing Skills Certification System – and the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS), the certifying body for the series of machining and metalworking credentials. Right Skills Now fast-tracks and focuses career training in core employability and technical skills by "chunking" relevant curriculum that leads to interim credentials in critical machining skills.
Shoreline Community College instructor Keith Smith developed the program being used at the Washington colleges. Smith worked with members of his program's industry advisory council as well as other industry representatives to be sure course content is as up to date as possible.
"That Keith's work is being adopted as the standard is testament to the quality of Shoreline's program," said Shoreline's Dean of Science, Susan Hoyne, who oversees the CNC Machinist program.
The program uses internships, a key component of Right Skills Now, with local companies to help students make the transition from acquired knowledge to applied skills. A key benefit is that Smith has already taken the Shoreline program through the rigorous certification process endorsed by the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS).
The certificate is designed to meet employers' needs by quickly getting them workers with the required knowledge, skills and abilities and to meet students' needs by giving them employable skills now plus college credit, something they can build on in the future.
"This is the first time we have a group of community and technical colleges all teaching the same curriculum, providing skills that are closely tied to employers' needs and offering a nationally recognized certification," Bredeson said. "Washington leads the way in aerospace manufacturing and now we're leading the way in aerospace manufacturing training."

OK, but can it be affordable?
More about those and other questions will be available at 7 p.m., Wednesday, March 14, in the PUB Quiet Dining Room at Shoreline Community College, 16101 Greenwood Ave. N., Shoreline.
The Clean Energy Program at Shoreline Community College and the Shoreline Solar Project are hosting a public informational meeting to explore the details of solar electric projects for residential uses as well as larger installations. With current incentives, a carefully planned solar electric project can actually make money for the homeowner and investors in larger projects.
Trying to see through the glare around solar electric systems can be difficult. The Community Solar Project goal is to present clear information about the law, installations and suppliers to make it easier to go solar. If the goal is solar on the home, or participating in a project on a local public building, the Community Solar Project has the answers.
Silicon Energy, a Washington-based manufacturer of high quality solar modules and inverters, will make a presentation on the hardware required for a solar electric system. Silicon Energy also intends to offer factory pricing to participants for group purchases made by homeowners and others interested in The Community Solar Project.
For system design, Clean Energy Technology Program students from Shoreline Community College will offer site assessment and design services at no charge. The student teams are supported by Silicon Energy, college faculty and local electrical contractors to assure quality. If it makes sense, and cents, to you, the students will complete a system design portfolio.
For owners of homes nestled among the wonderful Northwest conifers, project participants will be available to discuss how you may join others, with cooperation from local government, identify and plan a community solar project. Sites for such projects have included schools, fire stations and city halls, but may also be sited on other local public facilities.
For financing questions, representatives from Puget Sound Co-operative Credit Union will be available. The credit union already has a track record of supporting such systems, convinced of the financial and societal viability. Solar may never again be as affordable and profitable as it can be right now. The Washington State incentive expires in 2020 so each year of delay decreases the available incentives. The 30 percent federal tax credit expires in 2016.
And for answers to installation questions, qualified and licensed electricians will be available to talk about the general approach as well as the details specific sites.
