- Serves:10
100g icing sugar
350ml plain vanilla yoghurt
75ml lemon juice
300ml strawberry puree or jam
50ml orange liqueur
150ml whipped cream
250ml mango puree or topping
Stir the icing sugar and the plain yoghurt together in a bowl, and add the lemon juice.
Next, fold the strawberry puree and the Grand Marnier into the yoghurt mix, then carefully blend the whipped cream into the mixture using a balloon whisk, making sure you avoid any lumps.
If you have an ice cream machine, pour the mixture into it and churn until it becomes creamy in texture.
If you don't have one, put the mixture in a suitable container and place in the freezer. Allow it to begin to set then, after an hour, remove it from the freezer and churn by hand, return to the freezer and allow to set.
Serving suggestions
Place a scope or two on a plate and finish with some halved strawberries and mango puree or topping. You may wish to adjust its consistency by adding some water to achieve the desired result.For variety, you can use other fruit purees instead of strawberry/mango.

Do you think you're bored with the normal pounding game for which you play on the web? May guiding just simply right and left bores you'll while having fun with? Should you be " up " with regard to enthusiasm hoping to get an item that's specific, amusing, realistic, plus darkish plus gore, well then Happy Wheels may be valued at wanting. Happy Wheels is definitely a internet browser primarily based game which is actually especially exclusive game comprising artwork the bullying however humorous all at once.
Happy Wheels isn't ones own ordinary auto racing game the place you will just hasten help subsequently foot brake easily. This game can offer hurry of enjoyment for the hilarious and credible way. Like the prevalent new or used cars and / or off road racing game, your is usually to have the depart or even vacation destination.
It may seem this participating in "happy wheels" is merely child's have fun with ideal? Consequently, you better think again. Once one execute this approach game, you'll find that it has more than solely off road racing by itself. The manages seem to be simple and easy. It's exactly a usual way up, straight down and also location and yet all I only say is always that you'll without doubt set off crazy and even silly from this physics primarily based speeding game. Precisely why? A game is certainly dreary, twisty, and bloody as well as gore. There's great number of programmes you could use also over the trial model. All of the courses are complex as well as that may be but you don't precisely why the following game will be interesting together with obsessive. Throughout this game, you need to apply a part of physics at the same time, want on how ones charm are able to start and walk for a necessities while not damaging on their own. Similar to in the real world correctly? Your personal characteristics in this particular game do not possess superpowers to jump, move around totally for shape or possibly carry on problems.
When you are in the game play, what it is obvious the best is that the boys enjoy these happy wheels demo competitors right here push rationally. Enjoy about gory it's supposed to occur if someone else started an accident or maybe encounter a crazy problem. You would think the reason is game across once you have personality protrusions in to an stumbling-blocks or possibly disappear from right from anything at all, although it's definitely not likely the completed when super is gory, this competition may even now carry on with. The actual competition will stop las vegas bankruptcy lawyer character's appearance will be wholly dismembered. Visualize the correct way gory it's always. The you'll determine are usually mashed through limitations, dismembered and in some cases decapitation. There's road blocks over the curriculums that can at the same time make hard for your current personality to live these.
If you are an increased twist because of this game, Happy Wheels provides you various figures to choose between with different adventures love wheelchair, bike and also scooters. This unique added in pose won't just choose game cheeky nevertheless it are usually gratifying and then gory along with soft simultaneously.

Not all of the technique games can give you these kind of capabilities the spot where you can produce your road to use along with together with reveal the application extensively or feature the totals or perhaps try and get the last part from the game.
Could possibly be still lots of things to improve though on the whole, I will say that Happy Wheels may be a game that is addicting, distinctive as well as loaded with excitement where everyone can like. Possibly not for youths however. But as the grownup, I probably would surely supply this particular game a shot.

The difference between me and you is i'm not coming on here with a braskie attitude about I'M A REAL FIGHTER. If doing a bunch of gong saus and getting in some broed out street fights was all it took to be a fighter, i'd still be five times the fighter you are since i've done that a whole bunch of times, usually on video, and unlike you I wasn't a shrill size queen about my bad knee/inflamed gall bladder/christmas being only six months away or whatever your copout is this time. Nor, unlike you, did I lose to a submission that's exclusive to the high tech kung fu special weapons laboratory that is my acid-burnout esque middle aged brain.
If competition was all it took, i'd still be a better fighter than you, since people who do grappling comps are athletes and people who do forms comps are middle aged woodworking enthusiasts who wear shirts that say things like FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF DAD or I GET A KICK OUT OF KARATE.
But they're not, and I don't pretend to be on the same level as people who have actual fight records (the only people who should be called 'fighters' on this site) like some hilariously incompetent martial arts colonialist. Which you do.Last edited by Hedgehogey; 11/29/2012 7:24pm at .

LOL. Yes, I will always have a fond recollection of this place. I own my love for the drama. But, as to my desires for the site...I already know that what I would do is not going to happen. I also know I don't really have the time or inclination to do anything about it. Rudy did not need to shine light on thqt for me.

I've been so far behind on posting on the blog about my recent craftiness. This post will probably be HUGE. I'm sorry! D= (Anything seen here can be remade. All you had to do it request it on my Etsy. ;) )
This is Frank. I wanted to make a plushie completely out of felt that was Halloween themed, and since I love Frankenstein by Mary Shelley I thought I would make him. I know he's not true to the monster in the book but I guess I took some creative liberties by making him how I wanted him to look.
These next two were gifts for an aunt. Her costume is Steampunk but she doesn't have any accessories that she could wear with it. I decided to make the bracelet first. I wanted to use kanzashi to make something feminine with edgy side. I like the contrast between soft and hard in the materials to the shapes. The wire wrapping and chain making was interesting since I didn't have any pliers. Needless to say my fingers were raw after making it. >.< The ring came after the bracelet. While making the gears for the flowers I had an extra. (All made out of Cold Porcelain clay. Clay I made from scratch!) Then it was painted and had wire hot glued to the back for it to be adjustable.
I held a contest on my deviantART page. The winner had to get an image of my 7,000 page view (along with other information) and then note it to me. The winner actually didn't know what she wanted so I had to nudge her in a direction. At first I mentioned Halloween theme and then she said that was good or something like a panda. So, I made a panda using purple and white instead of the normal color combo. It's about 3.5" tall. It's on its way to Tunisia right now! I hope it makes it safely. *crosses fingers*
While I was making the panda, I made these pumpkin earrings. I thought they would be a nice touch to wear on Halloween and during the Fall season. I almost put Jack-O-Lattern faces on them but I wouldn't wear them any time but Halloween then. I'm actually wearing them right now and they're super light and easy to wear. =)
And finally I made this yesterday. This is a Weighted Companion Cube from the game Portal. I love watching the boys play the game and wish I could do it myself. I've been scared to because I know it will be frustrating. Perhaps some day I will try. This also was made to match my other felt key chains so they could be put together on the same key ring.

Point Park men's soccer scores three unanswered goals in 3-1 win over WVU Tech
Sept. 17, 2013 at 10:30 p.m. ET
Highlights from the Point Park Sports Network broadcast above with Kevin Taylor and Alex Sala. Video by Liz Kersey.
PITTSBURGH -- The Point Park University men's soccer team scored three unanswered goals to beat West Virginia Tech, 3-1, on Tuesday in an NAIA non-conference game at Highmark Stadium.
The Pioneers (2-2-1, 0-0 KIAC) beat a good WVU Tech (6-2-1, 2-0 conf.) team thanks to a goal and an assist by Max Flick, and the game-winning goal by Dominic Canello. Gabriel Colombo capped the comeback off a turnover to give Point Park the comfortable lead.
WVU Tech took control when Pittsburgh, Pa., native Tyler Fabian opened the scoring in the 20th minute. A big, tall back line for the Golden Bears was keeping Point Park at bay until Flick made a great goal from the edge of the 18 and into the upper 90 with just over eight minutes left in the first half.
Not only did Flick pull the Pioneers even at the half, he also set up Canello for the game-winner early in the second half. From his right outside midfield spot, Flick found Canello on the left side with a cross, and Canello banged it home at the 49:44 mark.
Flick is a sophomore from Beaver Falls, Pa., and a transfer from Geneva. Canello, who leads the Pioneers with five goals on the year, is a sophomore from Keystone Oaks High School and a transfer from Slippery Rock.
Colombo, a junior from Brazil, picked up a turnover from the WVU Tech keepER in the 72nd minute and put in an easy goal, his second of the year.
Point Park held a 15-13 advantage in shots although the Golden Bears led in corners, 8-5. Derrik Whiten played a strong game as the Point Park keeper with six saves and just the one goal against.
WVU Tech, which beat Point Park, 3-1, last year, has eight starters returning from last year's team, which was 18-2-1 overall in 2012. The Golden Bears are an NAIA independent team, and they dropped to 6-2-1 overall with the loss.
Point Park is in action again on Saturday with a road game at NCAA Division II Shippensburg. Game time is 4 p.m. Fans can follow the game with Live Stats.
Tuesday's game with WVU Tech was broadcast on the Point Park Sports Network. PPSN apologizes for an error on the iHigh.com server that prevented the first half from airing live. Fans can watch the game in its entirety On-Demand at www.iHigh.com/PointParkSportsNetwork

No place to hide : the global crisis in equity markets in 2008/2009
Bartram, Söhnke M. and Bodnar, Gordon M.. (2009) No place to hide : the global crisis in equity markets in 2008/2009. Journal of International Money and Finance, Vol.28 (No.8). pp. 1246-1292. ISSN 0261-5606

This paper provides a broad analysis of the effect of the current financial crisis on global equity markets and their major components. We also examine the magnitude of the crisis in terms of value destruction in comparison to other market crashes. In brief, upon looking at return performance across an array of regions, countries, and sectors, broad market averages are down approximately 40% on their end of 2006 levels. While deterioration started in most markets in early to mid 2008, the crisis period of mid-September to the end of October 2008 is responsible for the lion's share of the collapse with just about all indices falling 30–40% in this short period. Financial sectors have taken a bigger hit than non-financials over the period, though they both suffered similarly during the peak of the crisis. Due to larger rises in 2007 the emerging markets drop more in 2008 than developed markets but in large part end up at the same level as the other markets. The global nature of the crisis is also apparent from the high correlations between markets and investment styles that further increased during the crisis. As a result, diversification provided little help to investors when needed most as markets dropped in tandem.

My husband and i purchased this unit in 1977. We are from Gainesville, fl which is about 2 hours away. It has been a wonderful weekend retreat...a place we could join friends, have cookouts, relax and entertain friends and family. There have been numerous renovations and upgrades since the purchase. When my husband passed away in 2008, even though i loved Ocean House it wasn't the same without him. It does my heart good to see others be able to enjoy this unit, so i decided to make it as rental. I am not looking to make a profit, just pay the bills in order to keep it in the family.
I know yiou will enjoy your stay and create great memories just as i have. Elaine Robbins
Elaine purchased this condo in 1977
The closeness to the beach and area restaurants was wonderful. It was only a few minutes drive from the bustle of St Augustine, yet the condo was quiet and relaxing, exactly what we wanted from our vacation.
We enjoyed your beautiful Condo so very much. Personally, I especially enjoyed your kitchen stocked with all kinds dishes, appliances, and a nice variety of kitchen tools. Everything in your Condo was easy access, and so convenient. The Balcony with the comfortable chairs, and the view of Beautiful Crescent Beach was so comfy, and breathtaking! We throughly enjoyed our vacation so much. It was hard to leave, for sure.
Thank you Elaine, you are the best!!
We will be back again one day!!!
Our Regards.....Shirley/Jim
My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The furniture was well-kept and clean, kitchen stocked with plenty of dishes and cookware. Closets even had special surprises like beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, a kite and body boards. The pool was just wonderful and the beach pristine and uncrowded. The drive to town was a bit long, but we really enjoyed being 'off the beaten track'. Many things to do in St. Augustine.. I feel we didn't even scratch the surface! If I had make a criticism, it'd be the internet speed in the unit. I had to drive to Starbucks or Cafe 11 daily to sync files for work. Otherwise, a very delightful place! We look forward to booking this unit again if we're in that part of the country again.
This is a wonderful location right at the ocean. Each bedroom and the living room have sliding doors to the balcony. The complex is not large and all parking is close to the building. The owner was readily available for any questions. Such a short drive to downtown. Hope to stay here again.
We just got back after having stayed a week in this condo. After searching for the perfect place to spend a family vacation I decided on this one, partially due to the cost, location and availability. The owner was very prompt in returning all my emails. From the moment I walked in, I knew I had picked the right place!! It was clean, very spacious and well stocked. From plenty of towels, a fully stocked kitchen, patio furniture and even beach chairs, there was nothing I felt it didn't have. All this before stepping out onto the terrace!! What a view!! With the pool and ocean RIGHT there, I couldn't have asked for more!! I will definitely be back!!
Clearly a place that is furnished for comfort by the owner. It is everything that is promised and more. Well-stocked kitchen with modern appliances, beautiful and fun decorations. Great view of the beach from the balcony with easy access to the pool and beach. Lovely, well-maintained condo complex, with friendly manager and everything needed for a comfortable stay already in place. Peaceful surf sounds, truly a special place near the quiet end of the beach. Easy parking, convenient in-and-out. Great views of both the ocean sunrise and intracoastal waterway sunset. I could stay for a long time, and I definitely plan to return!

"Time saving" has become my middle name. Just when I thought having one child was a lot of work...BAM...there came the next one, and now I can't believe how 2 little, adorable human beings have such a great way of taking over your whole day.
That is by no means a complaint. I wouldn't trade this craziness for anything in the world, but I am still as committed to my healthy lifestyle as I was before I had children. Now it just takes some serious strategic planning to get it all done (fellow parents...I know you know what I'm talking about here).
Even if you're not a parent, everyone is busy and pretty pressed for time each day...school, work, house duties, the list goes on and on...and unless you implement some useful time saving strategies to ensure you get in your healthy meals and your exercise, the day has a way of getting away from you.
Today I'm going to share some of my favorite time saving tips to make sure I have healthy food available most of the time. I say "most" of the time because nothing is ever perfect, right?
1. Leftovers, leftovers, leftovers.
I know that's not exactly an earth shattering revelation, but many times people are not maximizing the time that they are cooking and making enough food to have again for breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner the next day. Yes, I said breakfast, and I have been known to have leftover chicken legs and spinach at 6 am. I would say that 9 times out of 10 during the week, my lunch is what I ate for dinner the night before, but I will eat it cold over a salad...baked chicken, grilled beef, broiled salmon...all of these are absolutely delicious over a yummy salad along with my "Famous Salad Dressing."
2. Freeze the leftovers.
I did this just last night. I made Turkey & Veggie Meatballs for my son for dinner, and I made enough for his dinner, lunch the next day, and a whole batch to put in the freezer. He and I both absolutely love these meatballs and knowing that I have them already prepared in the freezer has saved me many times in a pinch. If I think ahead, I'll pull them out of the freezer the night before and put them into the fridge to defrost for the next day. If not, they defrost really well in a pan with coconut oil on very low heat (takes about 15 minutes).
3. The crockpot is my best friend.
Whoever invented this wonderful piece of equipment deserves a thank you card from every busy person in the world. I am convinced you can throw an old shoe in there and it will somehow make the whole house smell wonderful and turn out to be a perfect dinner. Okay, okay, I'm exaggerating, but I can throw just about any meat, chicken, or pork in the slow-cooker along with some veggies, chicken stock, and a few spices, and dinner is ready when I get home from work. How easy is that? Many nights I will get all my slow-cooker food items ready in the evening so I can just throw them all in the morning and just turn the thing on.
4. Hardboiled eggs are also my best friends.
Yes, I should probably make friends outside of my kitchen, but hardboiled eggs are another great lifesaver...I mean dinner-saver. In a pinch, I love to make an egg + avocado + greens salad, where I chop 2 hard boiled eggs and 1/2 avocado over a salad of romaine lettuce and tomatoes. I top it off with my "Famous Salad Dressing" and dinner is served...super easy and very filling.
5. Prepare your own awesome trail mix at the beginning of each week.
On Saturday or Sunday I dump approximately even amounts of the following into a gallon size zip-close storage bag: almonds, Brazil nuts, pecans, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries (no sugar added), cacao nibs (not as much as all the other stuff), and shredded coconut. I sprinkle in some Celtic sea salt and voila...a delicious and healthy trail mix. Next I put approximately 2 ounces of the trail mix in zip-close snack bags to take with me "on the go." I usually count this as 1 protein and 1 carb (even though it's probably not exact). My sons have quickly figured out that this delicious trail mix is always in my purse and will go digging for it whenever they're hungry.
6. Find recipes that say, "Prep Time: 10-15 minutes" (or less).
The prep time of a recipe is usually the FIRST thing I check before deciding whether or not to even consider a recipe during the week (I save the longer ones for the weekend). The next thing I check is the ingredients list and see whether or not it will require any healthy substitutions or modifications.
Hope you find these 6 tips real time (and sanity) savers when it comes to planning your healthy meals each week. The more you "automate," the more smoothly things go!

Tex Murphy: Tesla Effect was Kickstarted in June two years ago, and supposed to be released in December 2012. That was always a touch hopeful. However, come December 2013 there was still no indication of a release date, and since then there's been an ominous quiet. Fortunately that quiet is broken, with Tex "Chris Jones" Murphy releasing a new video to explain the gap. The game, he says, is now the length of two full Tex Murphy adventures.

Tex Murphy: Tesla Effect Has That Name, And A Trailer
The words "the wait is over" really oughtn't appear in the same trailer as "coming soon". That's made doubly worse when it's a trailer for a Kickstarted game that was originally due to be released last December. Still, it's good to see a trailer for the new Tex Murphy: Tesla Effect (no longer "Project Fedora", you'll note), and one that confirms that the hammy FMV is precisely as it should be.
Tex Is Back: Project Fedora Receives Its Funding
So Tex Murphy will be back. The Kickstarter for the FMV adventure series' return, Project Fedora, looked wobbly for a while, especially when aiming for a mighty $450,000, but with some pretty inventive updating they've managed to tiptoe over the line with still over a week to go.
RPS Feature Interview
Chris Jones Talks Tex: Bringing Back Tex Murphy
As the current trend to Kickstart every adventure series I loved in the 90s continues, I jumped upon the opportunity to speak to Tex Murphy himself, Chris Jones. With the new FMV-driven noir science fiction adventure already well over halfway to its half-million goal, there's cause to be optimistic for Big Finish Games' project, Project Fedora, going ahead. And as Jones reveals, his team are putting in quarter of a million of their own money too. We talk about bringing Tex back, updating the genre for a modern audience, and why Jones believes FMV characters can connect to players in a way CG ones never can.
RPS Feature Give And You Shall Receive
Kickstarter Katchup
This makes sense as a thing to do. With so many gaming Kickstarters running, for games we're genuinely interested to play, let's have a look to see where they all are this weekend. The headline news is that Grim Dawn has finished its run, with just shy of double its target reached. Below you can catch up on Moebius, Xenonauts, Tex Murphy, and many more. And you can also note that almost all of them aren't pledging to Kick It Forward, which completely sucks, so you should get in touch with them all and yell at them.
Your Tuesday Kickstarter: Tex Murphy – Project Fedora
For people with no interest in adventures, this Kickstarter revolution must be increasingly frustrating. Certainly there's a decent smattering of RPGs in there too, but I always like to think of those as adventures with combat. For those who grew up playing adventures in the late 80s, early 90s however, this is like a mad dream. The latest beloved franchise to attempt a comeback is the Tex Murphy series, reincarnating the sardonic private eye in, well, just about exactly the same way he appeared nearly two decades ago.

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
Verdi's "Messa da Requiem" is in itself a work of superlatives: a towering structure of blazing brass, mighty choral masses and tour-de- force passages for four soloists... a work of deepest and most heartfelt intimacy... a mass for the dead without any mawkish undertones... quite possibly the foremost achievement in 19th c. liturgical music. For this performance, eminent conductor Mariss Jansons led the Bavarian Radio Chorus and Symphony Orchestra. While Bulgarian soprano Krassimira Stoyanova has been closely associated with the Wiener Staatsoper for several years now, mezzo-soprano Marina Prudenskaya has been steadily building her international career. Albanian-born tenor Saimir Pirgu was chosen by Claudio Abbado at age of 22 to sing Ferrando in "Cosi` fan tutte." Bulgarian bass Orlin Anastassov, meanwhile, has established himself as a superb Verdi singer. "Whoever was lucky enough to experience this performance live will find it hard to get his feet back on the ground." (Kurier) "Mariss Jansons delivers a fabulously successful Verdi 'Requiem'." (Suddeutsche Zeitung)
American Record Guide, March/April 2015
This is a thoroughly enjoyable and satisfying performance of the Requiem. Tempos are just right, and the well-balanced chorus sings with fervor and appealing tone. The conductor is always supportive, calm, or assertive by turns. The solo quartet is good, especially on top and bottom. Anastassov's nicely modulated bass is a pleasure to hear, and Stoyanova is lovely in tone, flowing and steady. Her pianissimo high B-flat is perfect, and she has fine breath control. Tenor Pirgu is sometimes graceless in the ensembles. I have some reservations about the recorded sound, which is light on bottom.

Description | Hijinks is always around the next corner at the neighborhood pool, especially when Archer Hart is involved. As lifeguard, Arad, walks down the gravel pathway toward the pool, he hears a splash, then screams of distress. Arad is extremely well-trained in water rescue, so he snaps into the mode of proper procedure.
He sprints to the pool, removes his shirt, and dives in. Archer is floating lifelessly. Once Arad pulls Archer out and administers mouth-to-mouth, Archer surprisingly begins giggling! Arad realizes the entire thing was some kind of prank. Appalled, he asks, 'seriously?' Archer, still smiling, tells Arad that he couldn't help himself, Arad is just too sexy. Arad's upset, but not made of stone. He can't turn down the opportunity to have his way with such a luscious Twink. The two kiss deeply. Archer moves downward and takes out Arad's hard cock. Arad feels the warmth moving up and down his swollen meat. He lets his hands run all over Archer's naked body. They move to a pool chair where Arad lifts up Archer's legs so he can experience his ass and dick. Archer can't believe he — sort of — tricked the hot lifeguard into sucking his cock and licking his ass! After a little while, Arad stands up and shoves his firm erection into Archer's tight ass. Oh what a feeling on a hot Summer day! This is a pairing you won't wanna miss. Arad's insane body fucking sweet, spirited Archer poolside as warm rays beat down is a memory you'll hold onto to keep warm all year. |

Would that the VT legislature thought so clearly and economically. Then VT might not only stay truly green, but in the black, as well
Meredith,I have to disagree somewhat about this one. The current HQ conitract is a fixed rate mortgage and no one liked that. It caused problems when the alternative market prices deviated substantially from the contract price. Under the fixed rate concept of the previous contract, Vermont paid many millions in costs that were above market price. This new one is based more on prevailing market prices, so it should stay more in line with the market, but avoiding the price spikes inherent in the market. The chart below shows the Vermont prices for the months of 2010 as well as broker prices for futures contracts through 2014. As you can see, the market price for power never rises above the HQ contract price or the rumored Entergy offer. So under the fixed price model of the current HQ contract, we will continue to pay higher than market prices for power. (To be fair, the Current HQ contract is for delivery at certain hours that are specified by the buyer, so its value is higher than the generic market price – but still above them.) AvgDALMPAvgRTLMP2010 160.8762.842010 252.4953.352010 337.9138.952010 436.6736.462010 546.3250.252010 649.5351.672010 762.5860.822010 855.0556.152010 946.3148.122010 1036.7635.462010 1144.1841.45Cal ' 11 $ 48.00Cal '12 $ 49.50Cal ' 13 $ 51.84Cal ' 14 $ 53.75When the HQ dealwas negotiated in the late 80's it was supposed to be 20% less expensive than our least expensive alternative (a coal plant). Times changed and that turned out not to be true. HQ made concessoins to lower the cost and shifted elements of the contract to ease rate pressure. They have shown themselves to be a good trading partner.In 2010, the Entergy contract price was 4.3 cents. In 2011 it will be 4.4 cents. Adjusting for losses and congestion it is pretty close to the broker price quoted above of 4.8 cents for 2011. I would also bet that the pricing of any new contract will have a variable mortgage component to it as well.Secondly – what is wrong with making a profit? Entergy wants to make a profit, HQ want s to make a profit, Feed in tariff projects want to make a profit. If you take a risk, you should be able to reap a reward. No one is providing electricity as a public service.Thirdly. Why is HQ power not renewable? All renewables (and nuclear) have some warts on them. Large hydro is no exception. However, this power is produced by falling water which is renewable. I would guess that whatever impacts accrue to large hydro are similar, but for the scale, to small hydro. Further, HQ has worked things out with the natives and is proceeding. You complain about the Feed in Tariff prices for small hydro, yet intimate that this is the way to go. You can't have it both ways.The real point is is that there is room for many sources of "carbon light" energy (including efficiency) in our protfolio and the portfolio of the region. If there were a perfect solution, we would buy two of them and all go home. Any portfolio should have diversity, and that seems to be where we are heading.
@DaveL – I have to disagree strongly with one of your points.You wrote"If you take a risk, you should be able to reap a reward."Real life does not work that way. If you take a risk, you have a CHANCE at reaping a reward. Sometimes you make a bad call and lose your shirt. That is why they call it "risk".If you build the right product at the right price and can find a willing buyer, you might make a profit. If you build exactly the same product but it costs you three times as much to produce as your competitor, you will not find any willing buyers who will purchase yours at a price that is profitable to you as long as your competitor has any inventory left to sell.Your statement about "Feed in tariff projects want to make a profit" with the implication that since they took a risk they deserve that profit makes me steam. Markets do not work that way. Everyone WANTS to make a profit, but some win, some lose and some should have stayed in bed.
DaveLThank you for your thoughtful post. I am glad to hear that the HQ partnership has had renegotiation room and HQ has been a good partner in renegotiations. Thank you for the information. On the other hand, I believe that using 2009 or 2010 as the example years for electricity prices is a bit misleading. These have been the lowest-price years for at least a decade. (There's been this recession happening.) Your forward prices are more interesting. Apparently, the market doesn't think we are going to get over the recession very quickly, or perhaps it thinks there will be abundant natural gas. If I had money to speculate, I would bet against this estimation and bet for rising electricity prices. However, I do not mean to dismiss the forward numbers. They may be right. I will say, however, that they are not certain. Also, as you correctly noted, those are prices for the entire year, day and night, not the hours that HQ will supply power. HQ will mostly be supplying power in the high-demand, high price hours.Also in terms of pricing, I encourage you to look at the electricity price graph in this blog posthttp://yesvy.blogspot.com/2010/10/inconvenient-truth-about-vermont-yankee.htmlYou will see that prices have spent a significant portion of the past ten years above 6 cents. The graph comes from ISO-NE.I believe you have missed my point about the variable market and the profits. I have no problem with companies making profits by selling electricity. I don't even have a problem with variable pricing,However. Some context here. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for Vermont power purchases after 2012 with Entergy was signed in 2002. It said that for ten years after 2012:Entergy will sell at the market ANDif the market goes above 6.1 cents, Entergy will split the extra money with the utilities. This was a Revenue Sharing Agreement. If the market was below 6.1 cents, Entergy would just sell at the low market price. If electricity prices went up, there were estimates from the DPS (Department of Public Service) of Entergy returning tens to hundreds of millions of dollars to the utilities over the length of the contract. This money could have improved transmission lines, implemented the smart grid, or been returned to ratepayers in the form of lower prices. The Senators and Representatives in Montpelier said this was totally unacceptable. That lousy Entergy wasn't giving them a fixed price! Those Entergy scumbuckets! What they try to get away with! Actually, this MOU was a great deal for Vermont, because if the price was electricity was low, that is the price Vermont utilities would pay Entergy. If the price went up, Vermont got partially re-imbursed. And you should have heard the legislators screaming about this, endlessly. "You have to give us a fixed price!" So, now they have a fixed price, and they don't like that, either. From what I know, and I am NOT an Entergy insider by any means, Entergy would be quite happy to stay with the Memorandum of Understanding, but the legislators objected to it.Instead, the legislators of Vermont are willing to take market-price power from HQ, support HQ profits, and support HQ jobs while letting Vermont people hit the unemployment lines. These are Vermont people whose company offered a better deal for Vermont than HQ did. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is a much better deal for Vermont than the HQ contract. The MOU is public, it includes revenue sharing, it's transparent, it's cheaper power, if only because of transmission costs at the same ISO price. End of story. It's a better deal for Vermont.This answer is getting really long! Sorry. One more point. About big and small hydro. My point in the blog wasn't that big hydro was evil and small hydro was good. My point was that people in Vermont were willing to lay down and allow HQ to print their boots all over us, even getting our legislature to vote special names for HQ's power. Oh, we are so eager to please HQ! After all, they gave us a worse deal than Entergy was giving, so of course we are grateful. (sarcasm alert.) By the way, I notice that you don't mention nuclear as part of carbon-light energy mix. An oversight, perhaps? Your comments are well-researched and thoughtful, and I hope they are not simply justification for Vermont accepting a lousy power contract— because— at least it isn't nuclear?
@Meredith – I do happen to have a tiny bit of scratch that I use for speculative bets on the market. I just sold some CHK after making a 25% gain in the past couple of months ($21 at the end of October up to $26 today). CHK happens to be in the business of extracting and selling natural gas. It is one of the best in the business in the US. One of the reasons that its stock has done so well of late is that they have a successful hedging business full of traders who really know their stuff.About a day or so ago I got a little blurb in my news wires that told me that CHK had managed to lock in prices for about 80% of its projected 1+ trillion cubic feet of 2011 gas production with a sales price of $5.84 per 1,000 cubic feet (MCF). That is about 33% higher than Bloomberg's price for that amount of natural gas That indicates that there are some customers out there who are betting some big bucks that by the end of 2011, a firm price of $5.84 per MCF will look pretty good compared to the market.That will have implications for the market price of electricity in New England, which is heavily dependent on natural gas being delivered through some congested pipes from places like Louisiana's Henry Hub – which is the location of the previously quoted prices.
I totally agree. If gas prices are low, I would bet on them rising. If they are high, I would bet on them falling. They are very cyclical! Also, the ISO graph in my post shows ISO NE and New England gas prices in lockstep. Two lines on the graph..electricity prices, gas prices. Sometimes you can't tell them apart.

With all of the senior citizen housing options to choose from, it's important for families and seniors to work together to find a housing option that's a good match from each facilities' amenities and care options to the location and costs. Making a selection takes time and planning, so it's no wonder families seek senior citizen consultants to assist them in their searches. If you have knowledge of the senior housing market because you held previous positions in human resources, management or marketing at a senior facility, consider starting your own consultant business.
1. Research the senior housing industry to determine the types of housing options that are available to seniors. Identify the pros and cons for each option so that you can explain these to potential clients. Through your research, determine frequently asked questions families and seniors have when they look for senior housing.
2. Find out who your competitors are, in your immediate service area and online, as some senior housing consultants provide services via email, chat and by phone. Investigate how they attract clients, the types of services they provide and their pricing. Use this information to help create your business model and differentiate your business from competitors.
3. Name your senior citizen consultancy. Contact your local Chamber of Commerce to find out how to register your business as a legal entity in your state. You can also find out if you need any special licenses for your business.
4. Create a list of services you plan to provide to clients. Services might include creating a budget analysis to weigh the cost of different senior housing options, setting up interviews and tours with facilities, helping families find financing or completing a needs assessment to determine which housing option best suites the seniors' needs.
5. Set rates for your senior housing consultant business. You can charge by service or by the hour.
6. Hire a graphic designer to create a logo for your business, as well a business card template and brochures. In your brochures, include an overview of your business, the services you provide and how to schedule a free consultation.
7. Hire a website designer to create a website for your business. List your services, credentials and contact information. Include blog posts on your website that offer tips and advice for individuals researching senior housing options.
8. Establish professional relationships with senior housing facilities in the area you plan to target. Visit the facilities to find out information on their costs, amenities, the process for reserving space and their availability. Meet with management to introduce your business.
9. Connect with local businesses that target seniors and their family members, such as doctors' offices, insurance companies, supermarkets, churches and senior activity centers. Identify opportunities to advertise and market your services through these businesses.
10. Identify publications, online and in print, that target seniors in your area. Purchase advertising space and pitch article ideas you can write to begin positioning yourself as an expert.
11. Host free 30-minute seminars on senior housing including topics on financing, touring facilities and what to ask during consultation sessions. Host these seminars at churches and other community centers.

NICE REVIEW - NOT. You said a lot but really said nothing. Now the real challenge would be to have it exposed as to the locations of this eatery in Troy and Albany.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJuly 28, 2013 at 8:55 AM
Whats up with this reviewer AVERAGE JOE, does he not read the comment section of his review and at least get back to us with a timely reply? He claims to be better than the other reviewers yet he seems to have this stigma that he is the know all, says all. Lets get back to the other reviewer if Joe can't do his job at all.

Well,here's the one in Troy--I'm not sure the Albany one is still open.
Anybody try their stuff?
They're cheaper than DeFazio's but are they better?
How pitiful is it when the owner of the joint doesn't even chime in with a little info--maybe a special for Average Joe readers. - AnonymousJuly 31, 2013 at 4:25 PM
What a shame it is that the owner of this place doesn't even have the balls to step up and tell us where this place is located in Troy. Must be a real thriving business that he isn't man enough to tell us their location. You would think that at the least, the reviewer would give us the location.

i wanted to bring some special attention to this lovely little decorative touch from our september catalog shoot. these little floral arrangements decorated the tables where our team hung out during breaks from shooting – using jam jars! i think it's such a sweet little touch, and a great way to re-use the jars too.
I just finished off a jar of this jam! I must say, it was delicious ;) the flowers and catalog are amazing!


text: Westhoff is awesome at kickoff return strategy and punt return strategy. His kicker evaluation, both kicker and punter, has been spotty. Doug Brien, Mike Nugent, Jay Feely, Nick Folk, Reggie whats his face, Weatherford, Ben Graham, etc... None have been all that great. And make no mistake that move for Nugent was made no doubt because Westhoff was singing his praises to the moon. No way we would have drafted a kicker in the second without Mike claiming he was the next Janikowski.

The Kia Cadenza is the latest offering for the stylish Korean brand, and part of an upwards push into the near-luxury sedan segment. Company officials claim it is the most advanced Kia to date, with features like automatic cruise control with full-stop braking ability, lane departure warning, and an 8-inch center display with Gooogle maps. The metal bits aren't bad either. Under the hood is a 3.3-liter direct-injection V-6 with variable intake- and exhaust-valve timing, developing 293 hp and 255 lb-ft of torque. It definitely looks the part of an upmarket sedan, but stylistically it's a bit more conservative than what we've come to expect for the brand. The Cadenza should go on sale in mid-2013.

i don't normally post baby things but these were too fun to pass up. the market for indie baby goods is slowly growing and i thought these were a fun addition. crib sets by san francisco's super natural baby ($320 each)- a new company that specializes in "big design, small sizes". click here for more info.
I'm interested to know who makes that crib. It is nearly impossible to find a simple, modern crib for under $500!
You're in luck Robin, that crib is the Gulliver from Ikea and it's under $100!! We got ours off of Craigslist for $20.
That probably is a $500 crib! (to go with the $320 sheet/bumper set.)
Darn it, I'm trying to BREAK mylelf of that orange/pink combo, and here it is staring me in the face, "You knoooow you want me." And I happen to have the must have accessory just for it (a new baby.)
You should comment more on baby and kids stuff…there are a lot of women out here who read your blog daily who have them in their lives and would love to see more. Thanks.
the funny thing is, my survey showed that very few readers have children and i always receive emails when i write about kids things saying "stop writing about kids! this isn't a baby site!". i try to always post good design so if something, like this, is cute enough to wow me over i'll always be sure to include it.
Just discovered your website which is a goldmine for me, french designer living in Marrakech, Morocco!! Though this is NOT a baby site as I read… are my creations cute enough to wow you over…? I hope so!
http://www.choumissa.net -
thanks for your kind comment. please feel free to send me an email about your personal work. i try to encourage people to keep company promotion out of the comments section and instead save it for comments on the post at hand. i'd be happy to check out your work if you could just drop me a line at firstname.lastname@example.com
I don't even have children, but am so thrilled you posted these. They are so absolutely adorable!
i for one am SOOO glad u posted nursery design stuff! yay! thanks SOoo much..
–from a pregnant lady who hates hates hates the "regular" baby stuff like ducks and bears and jungle stuff!

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Topless Early OriginsThe surname Topless was first found in Yorkshire where they are conjecturally descended from a junior branch of the Percys. Topcliff or Topclive was granted to a Norman Baron named William Percy who later became the Earl of Northumberland and one of the most senior mighty nobles of the land. At the time of the Conquest, Topcliff consisted of a church and a mill on the side of the banks of the River Swale. Topless Spelling VariationsTopless Spelling VariationsBefore English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago, spelling variations of names were a common occurrence. Elements of Latin, Norman French and other languages became incorporated into English throughout the Middle Ages, and name spellings changed even among the literate. The variations of the surname Topless include Topley, Topler, Topliffe, Topcliff, Topclive, Toppley, Topleif, Toplief, Toplis and many more. Topless Early HistoryTopless Early HistoryThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Topless research.

The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationIn England at this time, the uncertainty of the political and religious environment of the time caused many families to board ships for distant British colonies in the hopes of finding land and opportunity, and escaping persecution. The voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, though, and many arrived in North America sick, starved, and destitute. Those who did make it, however, were greeted with greater opportunities and freedoms that they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make important contributions to the young nations in which they settled. Early immigration records have shown some of the first Toplesss to arrive on North American shores: William Topleife who settled in Barbados in 1635; Henry Topley arrived in Philadelphia in 1866; Thomas Topley arrived in Philadelphia in 1867; J. Topliff settled in Boston Massachusetts in 1822. Topless Family Crest ProductsTopless Family Crest ProductsSee AlsoSee AlsoCitationsCitationsOther References

Where in NY?
Hey guys where in NY are y'all from? I go to school in Alfred. It's very rural and I'm hardpressed to find anybody else living nearby.
Any Rochester, Elmira, Corning, Ithaca, Olean people here? |
Hi, im from Cortland about 20 minutes north east of ithaca and 40 minutes down 81 south from syracuse!
Just South of Ithaca
I live about 20 minutes to the south of Ithaca. I am just a newbie. Some of the plants are already taking over the aquarium and I hope to be able to trade with other members soon.
omg, upstate people :P
just teasing, I always figured that there had to be people into the hobby up by you guys. I'm from LI myself so I'm not really local at all. |
welcome aboard upstaters!
If people are open to shipping, our little swap community just grew a little bit larger today. ;) |
ROCHESTER! Well just outside, in fairport
I have a bunch of friends from Pittsfield, Greece, Honeyoye Falls (something like that)...few places scattered over the Roc area
We should totally coordinate ship swaps when it gets warmer. I can save styrofoam coolers from work so packaging will be free.

Our ride to the school! |
We all stepped up to the challenge and it seemed like our message was well received. We all presented in Spanish despite our varying abilities in the language. The younger kids really liked the posters we made and all asked us to return soon. The nurse from El Tololar also gave out Albendazole to all of the children during our visit.
After our presentations, we had a little time to relax at a nearby pool. We returned and played cards at our bar to close out the night.

Magazine Calls Aya Hirano "Deko-Bitch"
- Categories: Anime, H, News
- Date: Feb 6, 2010 19:18 JST
- Tags: Accidents, Aya Hirano, Idol, Mass Media, Oppai, Panchira, Seiyuu
I don't understand why so many people pick on her. Nothing better to do with their pathetic lives...
LOL... do people really hate Aya this much? I always skip these posts thinking "meh, the same old joke again".
But it seems some people really do hate her.
I hope they realize this is as ridiculous as defending the virginity of some 2D characters...
I also don't see Aya as a supermodel or something, mainly because she's not my type, but she definitely isn't ugly.
And even if she was, I'd be glad she's making this much success. And so should you bunch of ugly bastards... hey maybe even loosers like Sankaku readers have a shot at fandom!
>> About the only revelation the rag left out is the recent pubic hair slip.
I thought the toothpick for earrings thing was a pretty interesting add-on to Aya's Style.
Really, the girl doesn't care about her forehead anymore and makes fun of it herself now.
Shokotan doesn't seem to care either:
It's the close-to-Briney-Spears of Japan...
Now we need the Chris Crocker of Japan...
I really hate the fact that there are ppl in this world who have no life at all. Looking at bits of underwear shots, boob shots and cameltoes means that these fuckiing otakus have no FUCKING life at all. GO FUCK YOURSELVES YOU SEXUALLY REPRESSED, INTROVERTED ASSHOLES.
I am saddened by the fact that there are people in this world who feel the need to alleviate their own insecurities by venting their rage on those they perceive as straying from correct behavior.
Males are hard-wired to think about sex to spur their inclination towards reproduction with the opposite sex.
As the majority of males who have access to the internet or store-bought pornographic material engage in the activities you mentioned, you should try your rant on 80% (if not higher) of the guys you interact with on a daily basis.
Let us know how that goes.
I'm glad she's being trashed. Even though I like her voice in Lucky Star, she always was a trashy person. Anyone that idolizes Avril Lavigne and wears a "fuck off" button deserves this treatment.
I don't fucking care if she's a "deko-bitch". Fuckable as someone already said.
I still like her, as a person, seiyuu, and singer... and these kinds of things are starting to irritate me =,=... but I guess that's is natural that celebrities want their own spotlights, to attract people attention
Artefact always loves to post news about her expose body to us all the time on this website.
I don't know why the Japanese press is so mean to Aya-chan. She is HOT! I wonder where I can get those gravure artbooks of her.
aya has 6pack? i really need to exercise now... -.-;;
Well, forehead is awesome. Ritsu has one and she is awesome, then if Aya has she is awesome too.
Looks like it's the progression of a perfect little cute girl into a slut.
Just look at the concert exposes... she wore no pantsu!
the britney spears of japan
aya is voice actor
Not successful as a singer
oh please... leave it to a bunch of loli-groping tentacle rapers to bag on a nice one for a little weakness... serves them right if she tells them all to fuck off and drops out of sight. Grow up, slanteyed fattys
Who the hell gives a fuck? No, seriously! :O
On a second thought, an ability to manipulate the TV remote using one's feet... God like skill!
She seems like she just has amazingly bad luck or too popular for her own good...
People will always try to find the flaws in those that has the spotlight. Though, she'll always stay adorable in my eyes.
Do your eyes grow on your bottom?
on the penis it seem.because usually n normally we see pretty flower in the spotlight as pretty.and ugly flower in the spotlights ugly
I don't really see what's so wrong with her.
It's just because she's so popular, people have to find something wrong with her, and degrade her constantly for even the tiniest flaws. :|
That's what izu is speaking about. It doesn't matters, if she is or is not in the spotlight, she isn't that über-pretty.
I didn't like her forehead at first but the more people talk about it, the more I like it.
This is only more advertising for her, it's as a lot of you are saying, the more she gets in the spotlight the more famous (and for a longer amount of time) she'll be.
She is like the Japanese version Britney Spears, but still not as bad as :)
She's still pretty cute too, women not looking amazing without makeup is no surprise.
Because of Aya Hirano I developed a fetish for large forhead girls. That forhead is delicious. Nomnom.
Just hope that this article wouldn't hurt her. Medias are just cruel so as to attract attention.
I think I'm blind... I don't see anything bothering about her forehead...
I think she was pretty when she sing wearing "did u cum twice" t-shirt.but her stupid act is growing everyday,making people to hate her proportionally.She shows that she is stupid bitch,crazy,idiot,worthless as human(not as seiyuu though) and publicity thirsty whores.

"Well, the banks aren't bad people, they're just overwhelmed right now... The banks are scared to death, of course," he said. "They're feeling the same thing you're feeling..."

SYDNEY (Reuters) - The "home" of cricket at Lord's, Edgbaston and Headingley could be possible venues for Australia's future test series against Pakistan after the British government offered to act as a temporary host to the Pakistan team.
Britain's sports minister Gerry Sutcliffe made the offer to Pakistani officials on Tuesday after attacks on the visiting Sri Lankan team in Lahore effectively ended their chances of hosting matches in the foreseeable future.
Australia postponed their last tour of Pakistan, scheduled for 2008, until 2010 because of safety concerns.
There is no real hope of the Australians travelling to Pakistan in the near future but they have expressed their interest in playing the series at a neutral venue, with discussions turning to England.
"Pakistan has started the discussion about playing three test matches at neutral venues in England in 2010," Cricket Australia spokesman Peter Young told reporters on Wednesday.
"It's a work in progress, the PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) is responsible for coming up with the arrangements, but in principle we've been comfortable and talking with them."
Any rescheduled matches in England would avoid clashes with the southern hemisphere's busy summer season and Young said there was also the bonus of both countries having large supporter groups in England.
"One of the downsides to neutral venues is quite often you don't get people turning up at the stadium because wherever you are, the locals don't have a home-team interest," Young said.
"But part of the theory is that there are a significant number of expatriate Pakistanis who, with appropriate marketing, might be encouraged to attend these games.
"Pakistan would still have kind-of a de facto home crowd advantage."
Lord's looms as possible new Pakistani 'home'

NEW YORK (AP) -- Lower corporate earnings and reports that a key meeting between European financial ministers had been cancelled pulled stocks lower Tuesday. Assets that tend to hold their value in a weak economy like U.S. government debt and gold rose.
The Dow Jones industrial lost nearly 150 points in afternoon trading after several poor earnings reports from major U.S. companies. Manufacturing conglomerate 3M cut its 2011 earnings forecast, and U.S. Steel warned that demand for its products could slow. Netflix Inc. plunged 36 percent after the company cut its profit forecast and said it is losing subscribers following a price increase in July.
The market was also pulled lower by a report that consumer confidence plunged in October to the lowest level since March 2009. The Conference Board index measures how shoppers feel about business conditions, the job market and their outlook for the next six months.
The Dow was down 145 points, or 1.2 percent to 11,768 at 2:45 Eastern. 3M fell 6.4 percent, the largest drop among the 30 stocks that make up the Dow average. It was the first decline after three days of gains.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 05, or 1.5 percent, to 1,235.
The Nasdaq dropped 49, or 1.8 percent, to 2,650.
Prices for assets perceived to be safe havens rose. The yield on 10-year Treasury notes fell to 2.13 percent from 2.23 percent late Monday. Bond yields fall when investors send their prices higher. Gold rose 2.9 percent.
The latest headlines from Europe cast doubt over whether leaders there can agree on a comprehensive solution for the region's debt crisis in time for a summit Wednesday. Europe's ongoing debt crisis has been behind much of the market's big moves lately.
European officials are working to patch together a plan that will prevent banks from taking huge losses if the Greek government defaults on its bonds. A messy default could lead to a credit freeze-up similar to the one in 2008 following the fall of Lehman Brothers.
Anticipation of a solution to Europe's debt mess and strong profit reports from Caterpillar Inc., McDonald's Inc. and other major U.S. companies helped the S&P 500 surge 14.1 percent from Oct. 3, when it slumped to its lowest point of the year, through Monday's close. Traders warn that if European leaders fail to come up with a credible solution it could sent markets sharply lower.
United States Steel Corp. dropped 7 percent after the nation's largest steelmaker warned that demand for some of its products could decline in the final three months of the year if the economy slows down more.
Delta Air Lines Inc. slumped 2.5 percent after the airline reported results that missed Wall Street's expectations. Delta cut its flights 1 percent in the most recent quarter and said it would cut as much as another 5 percent during the last three months of this year.
United Parcel Service fell 1.5 percent after the company said its growth in Asia was slowing. First Solar Inc. plunged 24 percent after the company said its chief executive had stepped down.

Parental guidance: How Scouters can deal with those unruly moms and dads
For many Scout leaders, it's not the Scouts that'll turn hair gray — it's their parents.
The team behind ScoutCast recently asked 56 experienced Scoutmasters from across the country this question: "What do you know now that you wish you knew as a new Scoutmaster?"
The overwhelming response was not handling issues with Scouts but with their parents.
So with the help of Zach Chopp-Adams, who has been a Scoutmaster or assistant Scoutmaster since he was only 18 years old and serves as Advisor for the new Section C2 in the Michigan Crossroads Council, the November ScoutCast teaches you how grown-ups can be the problem and how to handle it when they are.
Listen to the November ScoutCast here.
Cub Scout leaders, don't miss this month's CubCast. Details after the jump.
November 2013 CubCast: Journey to Excellence
Simply stated, Journey to Excellence is the BSA's council performance recognition program that measures and rewards the success for our units, districts, and councils.
But, seriously, what does that mean? What does that entail? Perhaps you're already performing at the Gold level and wonder why you need to listen to this episode.
Because Kevin Steffy, Director of Field Service with the Longhorn Council in Ft. Worth, Texas and JTE expert, clarifies it all (and even shares the changes coming in 2014) to make sure you're reaping all the benefits of a great Scouting experience as you travel on this journey.

When the first hard freeze hit, icing caused the pumping rod on the windmill to noodle up. When the fan continues to turn, the captured rod can't slide up and down, and begins to twist. It can get amazingly distorted, preventing it from functioning after the ice melts. Bad things happen if this isn't caught soon enough. We know this, yet somehow the first hard freeze always catches us by surprise. This year wasn't as bad as past years, but we still had to straighten the rod. This is bad enough.
Someone has to climb the 30 feet up to the fan assembly, disconnect the rod and lower it down. This takes muscle and know-how. Wilbur is elected (sometimes it's good to know no-how). We already stabilized the 380 feet of rod in the ground before separating if from 20 so feet above (it takes a crane to pull the whole length of rod if it should by some terrible bit of luck slip).
On the ground, Aly and I have the top sections of rod on a looong rope lowering it down (no photo obviously because it's reaallly heavy, and I can't be taking pictures which they keep yelling, this being an exciting part). Aly and I eventually get the rod down and beat it back into shape. By this time, there is a little breeze, and Wilbur is getting nervous. We haul the rod back up and he gets it reconnected. At this point he was supposed to climb onto the box at the end of the tail, and change the 5 gallons of hydraulic fluid that keeps things turning smoothly; this is quite a trick for a young guy on a still day. He's not young, and the fan is beginning to strain at the chain. The fan will have to grind away, as we decide to save this task for another day.
Back on the ground, the three of us try to get the sections of rod hooked back up. This is another tricky part. The unchained fan is turning erratically despite the brake. This is moving the top section of rod. A couple of years ago, I helpfully aligned the two sections while Wilbur and Aly were looking away, so as to quickly thread the sections together. When the two sections bumped, the fan drove them together crumpling the top back into the "S" shape we had just spent some hours fixing. I was unpopular for some time after that, but learned an important lesson—never show initiative when repairing a windmill. This time the sections joined smoothly. We are always surprised when this happens.
Chores are unrelenting during the winter. Most are not as dangerous as working on the windmill, but there's often a little frisson of anxiety when working around farm equipment. We bring in our own wood for heat, and we each have our own chain saw—mine is the smallest, but it gets the job done. All that wood has to be split, and Wilbur split his fingernail in half the last time he used the splitter. We weren't surprised when this happened as he tends to bleed on every job; if these were the days of blood sacrifice, this place would be a temple.
It's gotten cold again (windmill's disconnected-yay), and it's snowing, so we're using more propane in the greenhouses (boo). We have lots of tanks that need to be kept filled, because if the two propagating houses freeze, months of work is lost. This is Wilbur's job, another case of know-how. After he dealt with the propane, we all bundled up and went out to put the snow blade on the tractor. Pretty soon, he'll go back out to plow the half mile of drive. If it gets bad enough, Aly will join him on her tractor. They have the tractor know-how. I'm just the cook. It's good to have people with know-how.
Got to go; just got the second section of scaffolding up on the wall we're building. When we get time, we work on the interior. Chores...

All Black lock Ali Williams retires from international rugby after 10 years
New Zealand's second highest-capped lock Ali Williams has announced his retirement from international rugby.
The 32-year-old had played 77 Tests for the world champion All Blacks in his 10-year international career. Ian Jones played 79 Tests for the national side.
"Guys, I just want to let you know first that I'm retiring from international rugby. I'm hanging up the black jersey," the Auckland Blues captain wrote on his Twitter feed.
"It's been an amazing 10 years but it's time to call it quits. But I'm not hanging up the boots yet."
An athletic lock renowned for his intelligence and sense of humour, Williams made his All Blacks debut in 2002 against England and was a near automatic choice for most of his career.
He suffered a serious Achilles injury in 2009 and needed three operations before returning to win the World Cup on home soil in 2011, though he was mainly used off the bench.
Williams had been named in an initial extended training squad for next month's Tests against France, but chose to retire before the second camp was scheduled to be held this weekend.
The All Blacks' squad for the three-Test series is due to be named on June 2.
"He is a player who has always worn his heart on his sleeve, he is a real character who loved being an All Black and wearing the jersey proudly and representing his country, and that's what we love about him," All Blacks coach Steve Hansen said in a statement.
"He would have played a lot more games for the team if injuries hadn't robbed him of the opportunity.
"But it took a lot of courage to come back to top-flight rugby and that is a measure of the man and shows just how much he loves the game."
