With less than a week left in the snowmobile season, fatal snowmobile crashes in Wisconsin are up from last season, with alcohol and speed suspected as combined factors in 65 percent of fatal crashes.
Twenty-three people died in snowmobile crashes in the 2013-14 season, compared with 20 fatalities recorded last season, according to the state Department of Natural Resources.
This season, nine fatal crash victims had blood-alcohol levels ranging from 0.13 to 0.27 — all more than 0.08, the level that is considered evidence of intoxication in the state. Alcohol is listed as a possible factor in six additional fatal crashes.
Last season, unstable ice conditions from a series of freezing and thawing events early in winter took a deadly toll on the trails and were believed to have contributed to five drownings.
The brutal cold this season made ice less problematic, Warden Gary Eddy, snowmobile safety administrator for the DNR, said Monday.
"As far as the conditions, they were pretty ideal," Eddy said. "There was good snow. It was nice and cold, and it firmed up the trails nicely."
The number of registered snowmobiles statewide ranges from 190,000 to 235,000, Eddy said, and he estimated the number this year was on the higher end of the range, due to good conditions.
The DNR is required to investigate all fatal snowmobile crashes, and riders are required to report any accidents that result in injuries that need medical attention. State officials acknowledge that self-reporting likely leads to an underestimate of the total number of injury crashes, which in 2012-13 reached 142 incidents statewide.
One of the most popular destinations for snowmobiling is Vilas County, where more than 600 miles of groomed trails crisscross the area — and where fatalities have fallen steadily.
The county used to consistently rank among the top in the state for fatal snowmobile accidents. In 2009 the county created a safety committee to tackle the problem after several high-profile crashes, including one that killed a Chicago television news anchor, said Dale Mayo, the county's snowmobile program coordinator.
Those crashes "gave Vilas County a reputation of being an area that condoned drinking and riding, and we certainly don't do that," Mayo said.
The county committee launched a widespread campaign for zero tolerance of alcohol while riding, mirroring state efforts, and teamed up with local television and radio stations to air the public-service messages. The committee also placed "zero tolerance" posters from the DNR in local establishments and on trail maps.
A new sign system was installed and gave every trail intersection a three-digit marker posted on a sign.
"At any given time, probably 75 to 80 percent of riders are not from Vilas and are not that familiar with the trails," Mayo said. "What we were finding is that when people did crash, they had no idea where they were at."
Spotty cellphone service meant that even enhanced 911 could not determine a precise location for an injured rider. Now riders can provide the three-digit marker to emergency dispatchers who have access to the corresponding trail locations.
The education and signs have made a "huge difference" and the signs have been so successful that similar markers are being considered for bicycle trails, he said.
Since the changes were made, Vilas County had at most two fatalities per season. In 2011-'12 and so far this season, the county has not seen any snowmobile rider deaths.
Although public campaigns urging riders not to drink and ride have been around for years, the percentage of snowmobile fatal crashes related to alcohol continues to be stuck in the 60 percent to 70 percent range.
"When (riders) are in that recreation and vacation mode, we know a lot of times they incorporate alcohol with that," Eddy said. "We're trying to push this zero alcohol message and saying wait to drink alcohol until the snowmobiling is done and you're back to the cabin or hotel."
But there's only so much education can do, said Doug Johnson, president of the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs.
"The percentage of alcohol fatalities has remained fairly constant over the years, and I think that's more a societal thing than educational," Johnson said. " We run into similar statistics not only in the ATV arena and recreational boating arena, but also in automobiles."
Although the number of fatal crashes was up 15 percent this season at 23 compared with last season, the number is still on track with historical trends. The average number of fatalities in the five years before the low of 10 in 2011-12 was 22.4.
"It's disappointing to see that we're on the upward trend," Eddy said. "The messages are the same and have been the same for many, many years. We're just not getting feedback that (the messages) are really getting grasped."

Hi, I am 4 weeks post upper,lower abs & flanks smart lipo. My husband & I noticed yesterday my lower abdomen looked extremely bloated. Still numb in lower & flank area & it seems like anykind of pants I wear, its leaving indentions in my stomach.My Dr told me just have patience it will go away. I am wearing my 2nd stage garment at least 12hrs a day per my Dr. Problem is that I am not noticing any change at all,except extremely looking bloated. I am just hoping that I didn't do this for nothing.
Why Does Lower Abdomen Seem More Poofy Than Before?
Doctor Answers 7
Thank you for your question. After most surgical procedures, our bodies produce swelling. This swelling is important in the healing process because it brings in the cells to heal the area. It also brings in the cells that are responsible for tightening the skin in the treated area. You can expect the majority of the swelling to resolve by 6 weeks after the procedure. From 6 weeks to 12 weeks you will find the swelling is nearly gone in the morning when you awaken but then increases during the day due to greater activity. You may also feel a little tired during this time of healing. Garments help to compress the treated area to minimize the amount of swelling in that area. However, if the garment is causing indentions, I usually ask my patients to remove the garment. This will be up to your physician based on his experiences. I hope this helps. Best Wishes! Dr. Vinyard
After Smartlipo it is normal to swell for a few days to weeks. This swelling will go down over time, wear your compression garment to help this process.
Swelling after liposuction is extremely common 4 weeks after the procedure is done. Every patient heals at different speeds, and for some patients, the swelling can last several few months. The results for liposuction become more apparent over the course of three months and the skin contracts. Do not get discouraged as you will start seeing results as some more time goes by. Wearing the garment does help reduce some of the swelling. Make sure you ask your surgeon when you can take it off and for how long.

Thanks for the question! Swelling is an expected occurrence with liposuction and it will take a full six months for all of the swelling to resolve. The lower part of your abdomen will stay swollen the longest as gravity will pull the swelling down. Wear your garment to help this. If you hear or feel a "sloshing" sound in your lower belly I suggest you return to see your surgeon to make sure you don't have a "seroma" (you can google search this term). Best wishes!
Excess fluid will settle in the most dependent, lowest areas treated. Make sure your compression garment is offering adequate compression to control any "pooling of fluid". Also, watch your sodium intake and increase your water intake, as this will help resolve the swelling.
Without seeing you in person, it is impossible to give you specific recommendations. However, it may be that you have fluid collecting under that skin (a seroma) which needs to be drained. Also, lipo, in contract to tummy tuck, does not address the roundness of your abdomen from diastasis or separation of the muscles. So, it is difficult to give you any advice without seeing pictures or examining you.
Good Luck.

I represent an online sports website ([url removed, login to view]) which primarily aims to report all major sporting activities from & within the domain of Afghanistan. Over the last few years cricket has emerged as major sport in my country which has generated immense enthusiasm among the youths. The challenge this situation has thrown to us is professional reporting which is why we have decided that we need to have proper database of domestic cricket matches within our domain wherein every match we would cover would be having a statistics section where the database would be stored & can be accessed on demand by the visitors requesting the same.
any clarification that you may need from my part, please feel free to write me.
The statistics page will contain individual profiles of players & teams participating in any tournament.
The individual profiles of players will state their name & age apart from the following details;
Batting Statistics
1. Matches (Total No. of matches played segregated by Twenty20, List A & First class matches)
2. Runs (Aggregate of Runs scored )
3. Not Out
4. Average
5. Top Score (Highest runs scored till date)
6. 50/100 (No of 50's & 100's)
7. Strike Rate if the score sheet shows the no. of balls played
Bowling statistics

I have been reading through Artisan Bread In 5 Minutes A Day for a few weeks now, and I just love the book. The concept of minimal input for maximum output is just great. My husband and children love having fresh bread at almost every dinner, and I love trying different ways to vent the bread. I am planning on using the next batch of dough to teach my two oldest how to mix the dough and how to shape the dough when it's ready to be baked. It's so easy they really can do it, and I know they will be happy to help with the meals a little more.
So anyway, as well as reading the book (which you really must buy), I have been following their website. There have been some very good ideas of how to make variations of their doughs, with different recipes using already made bread, as well as variations on the doughs themselves. The most recent one was a recipe for a Lemon Poppyseed Brioche dough, which was used to make little "muffins". It didn't turn out too bad, but I'm a muffin girl when it comes to lemon poppyseed, so it seemed a bit odd to me. It tasted good, don't get me wrong, but the texture just didn't seem right with the flavor.
So, I remembered reading in the book about an Almond Brioche "Bostock". Looking through the book, I found it. A simple brioche dough (which in this book, really is simple), rolled up with an almond cream, cut up like cinnamon rolls, topped with more almonds, and baked. I even found this example while searching for an image of what Bostock should look like, and it looks very tasty.
Now, onto today. I have a bucket of Lemon Poppyseed Brioche dough that needs to be used, and no immediate desire to make more "muffins". Enter Lemon Poppyseed Almond Brioche "Bostock". Using the dough from this variation on the website, filling it with the almond cream, changing everything from orange to lemon, I hope will produce something tasty and pretty.
I will be making this recipe today, and posting it this afternoon.

The LA_LUSOL function is used in conjunction with the LA_LUDC procedure to solve a set of n linear equations in n unknowns, AX = B. The parameter A is not the original array, but its LU decomposition, created by the routine LA_LUDC.
The LA_LUSOL function may also be used to solve for multiple systems of linear equations, with each column of B representing a different set of equations. In this case, the result is a k-by-n array where each of the k columns represents the solution vector for that set of equations.
LA_LUSOL is based on the following LAPACK routines:
Output Type |
LAPACK Routine |
Float |
sgetrs |
Double |
dgetrs |
Complex |
cgetrs |
Double complex |
zgetrs |
Given the system of equations:
4u + 16000v + 17000w = 100.1
2u + 5v + 8w = 0.1
3u + 6v + 10w = 0.01
the solution can be derived with the following code:
; Define the coefficient array:
a = [[4, 16000, 17000], $
[2, 5, 8], $
[3, 6, 10]]
; Compute the LU decomposition:
aludc = a
; make a copy
LA_LUDC, aludc, index
; Define the right-hand side vector B:
b = [100.1, 0.1, 0.01]
; Compute and print the solution to Ax=b:
x = LA_LUSOL(aludc, index, b)
PRINT, 'LA_LUSOL Solution:', x
IDL prints:
LA_LUSOL solution: -0.397355 -0.334742 0.321033
The exact solution to 6 decimal places is [-0.397432, -0.334865, 0.321149].
Note: UNIX users may see slightly different output results.
Result = LA_LUSOL( A, Index, B [, /DOUBLE] )
Return Value
The result is an n-element vector or k-by-n array.
The n-by-n LU decomposition of an array, created by the LA_LUDC procedure.
Note: LA_LUSOL cannot accept any non-square output generated by LA_LUDC.
An n-element input vector, created by the LA_LUDC procedure, containing the row permutations which occurred as a result of partial pivoting.
An n-element input vector containing the right-hand side of the linear system, or a k-by-n array, where each of the k columns represents a different linear system.
Set this keyword to use double-precision for computations and to return a double-precision (real or complex) result. Set DOUBLE = 0 to use single-precision for computations and to return a single-precision (real or complex) result. The default is /DOUBLE if A is double precision, otherwise the default is DOUBLE = 0.

All uphill and a bit high
Trip Start
Trip End
Pikes Peak is one of Colorado's Fourteeners, mountains over 14,000 feet (there are 53 of them).
We were camped about 5 miles away and as it was a lovely sunny day we thought it would be rude not to go up.
I checked that Scooby was ready for the climb, oil water, gas (petrol to those of us who speak English) and proper shoes (well the correct pressure in his tyres). We popped his rucksack on (our packed lunch in the boot [trunk to those of you who speak American]). All ok so off we went.
As mentioned before we have been living/travelling at heights above that of Mt. Snowden for the last two months and as our campsite here at Colorado Springs is already about twice that height we only had a climb of 8,000ft. or so to go, about another mile and a half up. The road to the summit is actually 19 miles long. We were soon up to a great viewpoint looking down on the road up, little did we know of the views to come.
It seems that the drive starts on a neighbouring mountain, goes across a ridge, round some lakes, through some trees over another ridge then ends up as a gravel track with snow one side and nothing the other.
The pictures tell this story far better than I can so please view the complete album. Suffice it to say that my looking back through these pictures helped me understand my gentle and coaxing of Scoobies steering wheel round some of the sharpest and steepest bends yet to have been encountered.
Yes it was cold at the top, some 30 degrees or so less than at our base camp, it was windy too. The views were incredible not least the ones looking down on our route up that we had to encounter again on the way down (did I check Scoobies other shoes - brake that is).
We did have proof of the lower pressure at the summit - our bag of chips/crisps (language again) looked like they were about to explode!
Well that's our mountain climbing for a while, think Scoobie enjoyed it too and we hope you have.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Augelint Early OriginsThe surname Augelint was first found in Devon, where "Acland, which gave name to this ancient family, is now a farm in the parish of Landkey." [1]CITATION[CLOSE] Shirley, Evelyn Philip, The Noble and Gentle Men of England; The Arms and Descents. Westminster: John Bower Nichols and Sons, 1866, Print. "Acland, or rather Aukeland, as taking name from a grove of oaks, for by such an one the house is seated, and hath given name and long habitation to the clarous family of Aclands, which have many ages here flourished in a worshipful degree." [1]CITATION[CLOSE] Shirley, Evelyn Philip, The Noble and Gentle Men of England; The Arms and Descents. Westminster: John Bower Nichols and Sons, 1866, Print. Hugh de Accalen is the first recorded ancestor in 1155. The aforementioned farm still exists and is about 3/4 mile north-east of the village of Landkey. Augelint Spelling VariationsAugelint Spelling VariationsBefore the last few hundred years, the English language had no fast system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations are commonly found in early Anglo-Saxon surnames.

The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationTo escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Augelint family emigrate to North America: George and Mary Ackland who settled in Virginia in 1623; Mary Ackland settled in the same state 1638; Thomas Ackland settled in Somers Island in 1662. MottoMottoThe motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.

Oh, I almost forgot::
Another benefit that Ken Ham's blatant idiocy has created for the US as a Nation.
It has highlighted the extremely poor educational practices of the Bible belt states, which had been teaching Biblical Creation as science for decades now.
The ministry of Ham and the Creation Research Foundation has finally hit a nerve and spurred the US government to seek advice from UK scientists and educators like Richard Dawkins and David Attenborough for a plan to remove such idiocy as Creationism from all Education Institutions, including private schools. Next they may try to devise ways to remove Creationism from Home Schooling. Some efforts here in Australia are already gaining advantage here, where all Home Schooling students must be registered and must demonstrate that they are following an acceptable curriculum and must be tutored by approved professional tutors, not church elders as once was the practice.
I think Ken Ham is good for Atheism.
He attacks Atheism continually as a great evil, attacks Evolution constantly, yet he only amuses me.
He actually upsets conservative Christians even more as his blatant stupidity makes Christianity appear extremely idiotic to rational people, thus being great for Atheism.
Yes, Ken is busy trying to suck the funds out of the extremely stupid, naive US bible belt loons.
Which he has been achieving easily, now that other idiot Ray Comfort is making an effort to gain a share of this lucrative Naivety Pie that the US offer. Ken left Australia, because our bible belt is not so lucrative nor wealthy.
What is great for Ken's pockets is also great for Atheism.
Make Christianity and religion look extremely stupid to reasonably intelligent moderate Christian students and there is a reasonable chance of them distancing themselves from the stupidity and through rational considerations, become Atheists.
Yes, you too can enjoy my educational four piece DVD box set explaining away science and going against documented and undocumented history, physics, and biology! Buy it now for the low low price of only four easy payments of $19.99! But wait, theres more! If you are one of the first five thousand callers we will send you a limitd edition, one of a kind splinter of wood from a recreation of Noah's ark! Operators are standing by. Praise god!
There's something about Ham that doesn't seem kosher to me.....
He may have chutzpah, Craig, but that doesn't mean I have to respect him or his dumb-ass beliefs for it. It MAY mean that I watch my ass around him, but that's as far as I'll go.
I have a lot of respect for Ken Ham. It takes an extraordinary mind to conceive and build a museum on top of a 400-million-year-old shale deposit in order to prove that the earth is only 6,000 years old.
Does [Ken Ham] really believe his crap?
Here's one answer: He who carves the Buddha does not worship him.
I like this one better: He who carves the Buddha becomes wealthy.
Loren, a very salient point. Religion is the perfect con. Selling the afterlife to the gullible. Ever see a customer complaint booth at any temple, synagogue, mosque, church, shrine for the departed to get their money back? "Hey asshole. I want my the money I put in the collection plate back. It's not real!"
Unlike a ponzi investment scheme, there's no way to verify or disprove their con.
As always, Pat, you make what may be the central point ... regarding Ham, the Hovinds, Pat Robertson, Joel Osteen, and the rest of them:
Religion Is A CON ... a con which may pay better than any other con in history, and when you combine that with P. T. Barnum's alleged words about one being born every minute, it's almost a puzzle why more people aren't tapping into that same pot. What makes it so airtight is that it's a con which has the approval of the general public, because of all the supposed good it does.
That con has run for a considerable time now ... millennia, in fact, and it's paid off like topsy. Question is, though, can it do it forever, or will the wormwood creeping in in the form of the internet and all the activities poking holes in religion deprive it of its airtight status?

Yet the company he travelled with, Eurocamp, says the regulations are not so obscure after all. On page 27 of its Traveller's Guide to France, squeezed between Organised Games and Other Activities, is a paragraph about the loi.
"Water purity regulations insist that camp sites forbid the wearing of shorts-style swimming trunks (only 'brief' style trunks are allowed)." The illustration (below) makes the point succinctly.
Pity the poor traveller arriving by Eurostar at Waterloo, and hoping to continue the journey by Tube. Anyone who wants to reach the rail termini of Paddington or Marylebone, or pop along to Piccadilly or Oxford Circus for shopping or sightseeing, faces big problems for the next eight months.
From midnight tonight, no trains will run on the Bakerloo Line south of Piccadilly Circus because of engineering works. Dismal news for the capital's commuters. But for travellers unfamiliar with London's transport, it promises to be truly bewildering.
Suppose you want to reach Oxford Circus. The Underground offers several suggestions. First, take an ordinary train back down the railway to Vauxhall and change to the Victoria Line - an obstacle course unsuitable for anyone carrying more than a briefcase. Better catch the "Bakerloo bus" that is replacing the Tube. The problem here is that first you have to find your way to the Underground booking hall and buy a ticket, then return above ground and locate the bus. If instead you find, say, the 176 bus stop and spot a regular bus to Oxford Circus, you must either throw away your newly acquired ticket and buy another one - or risk a pounds 5 fine.
Seven years ago this morning, the Berlin Wall fell; and 24 hours ago I met the unfortunate winner of the competition to celebrate 10 years of the Independent Traveller.
The prize, to use the term loosely, is a trip to East Berlin by independent and economic means, ie mostly hitch-hiking. But even before our planned journey to Berlin began, things went badly wrong. On Wednesday morning I went to the German tourist board in London, only to find that the office does not open until an unGermanic 12 noon. The maps that were promised had not arrived by the time I left, clutching only 1976 autobahn map.
The trip was to have begun with a rail/ship crossing as far as the German border. Sadly, when I tried to book the cheap pounds 49 ticket all the seats were full. The next fare up was more expensive than flying - at least to Holland. So we began by flying from London City airport to Rotterdam. The winner, Alison Clements of Maidstone, bravely turned up at the airport despite a fear of flying. I also learned that she has never hitch-hiked before, even though we face a 400-mile hike across northern Europe.
Our reports on the ordeal - sorry, adventure - will appear next Saturday. I suspect that they may conflict.

Apologies for the delay in getting to this. I tried the reported scenario with Firefox 4.2a1pre (Nightly build Built on 08-Apr-2011 downloaded from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/firefox-4.2a1pre.en-US.win32.installer.exe) on Windows 7 OS. Following are my observations: 1. Only one window opens --> Correct behaviour 2. Stop Private Browsing is disabled --> By Design as per ehsan's comments 3. The Firefox Menu option is in orange colour NOT purple --> This might still be an issue since in Private Browsing mode, the colour of Firefox menu option is PURPLE. Hence reopening the defect. Kindly consider the same.

(In reply to comment #12) > 3. The Firefox Menu option is in orange colour NOT purple --> This might still > be an issue since in Private Browsing mode, the colour of Firefox menu option > is PURPLE. Yeah, I need to investigate that. But would you mind filing a new bug, please? This is a different issue than the one this bug was originally filed for, and fixing them in separate bugs makes things less confusing for us in the future. Thanks!

Sure. Raised 649878 for the menu button issue. Retested this with Nightly built on 13-4-2011. Only one window opens up in private browsing mode. Marking this defect as Resolved - Fixed

SolarReserve Solar Power Project in Tonopah to Secure Jobs for Nevada
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SolarReserve, a U.S. developer of large-scale solar power projects, today announced an amendment to the Development Agreement between Nye County and Tonopah Solar Energy LLC, SolarReserve's affiliate, that will require 90 percent of the construction workforce come from Nevada residents for the company's 110 megawatt Crescent Dunes Solar Energy project located in Nye County, Nevada. The project is expected to create more than 600 jobs on-site during the peak construction period.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110519/LA05757LOGO-b)
Final approval from the Board of Nye County Commissioners on this amended Development Agreement is expected by the end of August and will allow County officials to monitor the required 90 percent resident workforce commitment by Tonopah Solar Energy. Full notice to proceed into the construction phase of the project is anticipated in September of this year."SolarReserve has put forward an unprecedented commitment to hire local contractors and laborers and develop training and apprenticeship programs," said Joni Eastley, Nye County Commissioner. "By working closely with SolarReserve, we are bringing new jobs and skill sets to our local community in Nye County and Tonopah."
SolarReserve also announced that it is currently pursuing a program that will support localized hiring of veterans and family members of active duty military personnel during the Crescent Dunes project's construction as well as operation. This program will be conducted in partnership with existing employment programs administered by the Department of Defense, the Department of Labor, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the State of Nevada, Nye County, and local veterans' organizations.
Tonopah Solar Energy has conducted public meetings in the Town of Tonopah to provide information about employment opportunities relating to the project construction and will continue to conduct additional meetings prior to the commencement of operations. Additionally, Tonopah Solar Energy has agreed to assist the Nevada System of Higher Education or other Nevada State approved Apprenticeship Programs in developing curriculum to train potential employees for the construction and operational phases of the project.
The 600 jobs are equivalent to in excess of 1.5 million man-hours for construction activities at the project site over the 30-month construction period. More than 4,300 direct and indirect jobs will be generated in the supply chain including manufacturing, value-added services and transportation, including offsite equipment and service suppliers across the Unites States. The project will employ 45 full time operational employees and will spend upwards to $10 million per year in operating costs. The Crescent Dunes project is also forecasted to generate $37 million in local tax revenues over the first 10 years of operation -- contributing to workers' paychecks, service businesses, local school systems and police and fire departments.
Upon completion, SolarReserve's 110 MW Crescent Dunes project will be the largest molten salt power tower project in the world and will provide clean and renewable electricity to approximately 75,000 homes during peak electricity periods. The power from SolarReserve's project will be provided to NV Energy under a long-term power purchase agreement approved by the Nevada Public Utilities Commission in 2010. The project's innovative energy storage technology allows the generation of electricity from solar energy day or night. SolarReserve's energy storage technology provides a genuine alternative to baseload coal, nuclear or natural gas burning electricity generation facilities.
About SolarReserve
SolarReserve, LLC -- headquartered in Santa Monica, Calif. -- is a solar energy project development company developing large-scale solar energy projects worldwide. It holds the exclusive worldwide license to the molten salt solar power tower technology developed by Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, a subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation. Since its formation in late 2007, SolarReserve's team of power project professionals have assembled a concentrated solar power development portfolio of more than 25 projects featuring its licensed solar power technology with potential output of more than 3,000 megawatts in the United States and Europe, with early stage activities in other international markets including the Middle East, North and South Africa, Australia, China and Latin America. SolarReserve is also developing 1,100 MW of photovoltaic projects across the Western United States, and is actively acquiring new sites to add to the pipeline. SolarReserve's experienced management team has previously developed and financed more than $15 billion in renewable and conventional energy projects in more than a dozen countries around the world. SolarReserve is majority-owned by US Renewables Group with other investors that include Good Energies, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Nimes Capital, Pacific Corporate Group, CALPERS Clean Energy and Technology Fund and Argonaut Private Equity.
SolarReserve's molten salt concentrating solar power tower technology was successfully demonstrated in California under a U.S. Department of Energy-sponsored pilot project in the late 1990s. The 10 megawatt pilot facility utilized a molten salt receiver designed, engineered and assembled by Rocketdyne, now a part of United Technologies Corporation.

Hold on, the season isn't over yet.
6 comments:
Hey guys. Glad to be listening again this season. Thanks for doing the podcast.
I don't mean to bring up sore subjects, but could you talk briefly about the last few minutes of the 4th quarter? I was wondering why Weis was throwing the ball on offense instead of running to kill the clock a bit or at least force Michigan to use a couple of their time outs?Well, here's the way I see it:
1) Allen was hurt and not in the game.
2) Jonas Gray had recently fumbled and was in the doghouse.
3) Aldridge was not available to play.
4) Riddick is only a freshman and I'm guessing Weis thought that wasn't a good situation for him.
5) Weis is so confident in his passing game that he prefers it more than the run.
Problem is Floyd was out due to injury as well so you have to ask yourself, why more confidence in the backup receivers as opposed to the backup running backs, who knows?I just hope the team learns from this and doesnt feel sorry for itself and go into the tank, which is what I think happened last year after the tough losses to UNC and Pitt. I still love the talent and potential on this team and I still think we can have a great season and even beat USC. They need to come out fired up and ready to destroy Michigan St Saturday. Go Irish

MWC 15 Special
Today at gamescom 2010 in Cologne, the world's largest consumer-oriented games showcase, Microsoft premiered the first wave of Xbox Live games launching on Windows Phone 7 this holiday. With even more games and applications to come, Windows Phone 7 is putting the power of Xbox Live into the palm of your hand - from Xbox Live Avatars to staying connected with friends, Xbox Live is now at your fingertips, anytime, anywhere. In a sea of games, apps, gadgets and gizmos, the biggest obstacle can be finding the game that's right for you. Only Windows Phone 7 has a Games hub featuring Xbox Live, creating a different kind of mobile gaming experience that puts the games you want front and center.
"We believe that no matter where life takes you, the best in gaming and entertainment should follow," said Marc Whitten, corporate vice president of Xbox Live at Microsoft. "Windows Phone 7 takes a different approach to handheld gaming, utilizing Xbox Live, Microsoft Game Studios, leading game publishers, and innovative indie developers, to create powerful, shared experiences for everyone."
Xbox Live games on Windows Phone 7 will be specially selected from the top names in mobile, PC and console game development, making the best mobile games even better, thanks to Xbox Live. With try-before-you-buy demos, Xbox Live leaderboards, turn-based multiplayer, Achievements and more, Windows Phone 7 brings the quality, consistency and community of the Xbox experience to gamers on the go.
Xbox Live on Windows Phone 7 unlocks a world of games and fun and directly connects you to a global community of more than 25 million active Xbox Live members. Windows Phone 7 is the only phone that seamlessly integrates Xbox Live and provides unique mobile gaming experiences:
Windows Phone 7 also will be supported by content from Microsoft Game Studios (MGS), providing strong first-party gaming titles and intellectual property for the phone. For Xbox fans, this means that Windows Phone 7 will offer companion titles to familiar names, such as "Halo: Waypoint," and "Crackdown 2," extending the experience of their favorite Xbox 360 franchises.
"Windows Phone 7 is the launch of a major gaming platform for Microsoft," said Matt Booty, general manager of mobile gaming for MGS. "Just like we've done with Xbox 360, our charter is to push the envelope and deLiver definitive games that maximize the platform. We will have an incredible lineup of MGS titles, and that's just the beginning."
The most creative minds in game development are bringing the biggest franchises to Windows Phone 7. The first wave of launch portfolio titles includes Xbox Live games from the likes of Gameloft, Konami, Namco Bandai, PopCap and THQ. Whether you choose to play a gem of a puzzler with "Bejeweled Live" (PopCap), bring down the house with "Guitar Hero 5" (Glu Mobile), fight off a destructive alien invasion in "The Harvest" (MGS), paint your way out of a corner with "Max and the Magic Marker" (PressPlay) or defend your city in "Crackdown 2 Project Sunburst" (MGS)
Additional titles in the launch portfolio will be released between now and the Windows Phone 7 launch this holiday season; once the phone launches, new Xbox Live titles also will be added to the games portfolio every week.
Cheers ~ Arne

Hopefully, thanks to the new 3D trends, the new mobile games would be even more funny.

Lately, with all my running around, my feet have started to get really tired and achy, and I have found that I keep going back to this pair of black slip-on sneakers that I bought from Kmart last summer. They are super comfy and look cute with most everything. So, the other day, while sloshing about in the rain in my trusty Hunters, I decided it was time to stock up on a few more pairs of my other trusty shoe. Best part? Not only did I get two new colors, but they are only $8 each! Sadly, I wasn't able to find them online, but to purchase, go to your local Kmart! Happy Wednesday! SPxx
Get your kicks at Kmart.

Not a bad promotional video at all. I know Johnny Viviers has one of the more affordable Roan packages in RSA too.
Saw a herd of Antelope chasing a Coyote once. The herd looked like a flock of birds circling the Coyote at 50 miles an hour. So, I guess that Sable just took a chine to that predacious Ostrich. I noticed a lot of the shots seemed to be hitting high. Maybe they were holding the gun directly on those shooting sticks?

About this entry:
The cavern or tunnel made by Sauron, also called the Chambers of Fire, that led into the cone of Orodruin, Mount Doom in the heart of Mordor. It was reached by a road that wound around the Fiery Mountain until it reached a door high up on the eastern side, looking towards Barad-dûr across the plain of Gorgoroth. Inside, the Chambers led into darkness, lit only by a narrow chasm from which leapt Orodruin's Fire, the chasm known as the Cracks of Doom.
It was in the chambers of the Sammath Naur that Sauron had forged the One Ring in the Second Age, and it was impervious to any power other than the Fire of its birth. So, at the end of the Third Age, Frodo Baggins and Sam Gamgee brought the Ring secretly back to the Sammath Naur, and caused it to be cast back into the Cracks of Doom. The Ring was destroyed, and Sauron's Chambers of Fire were also shattered as Orodruin tore itself apart.
Chambers of Fire, Cracks of Doom, The Ring

This Home.Woot Woot-Off is dedicated to the people of the world who endured the entire season of The Following from beginning to end.
You know how it is. You see a teaser for a show and think, "Man! That looks REALLY good!" So you watch the first episode and think, "Man! That WAS really good." Then week after week you watch with an increasing sense of disappointment, promising yourself that if the next episode is THIS bad, you'll stop watching altogether. Then you watch the second to last episode before the finale and you think, "Man! I'm sure glad I hung in there." But then you watch the finale and think, "Man! That was totally underwhelming." This Woot-Off's for you, people. Because you deserve a quality distraction after that.

Joint 80Th Birthday & Welcome Home Cake
This was an interesting order... it was for a customer who wanted an 80th birthday cake for her Dad but also a welcome home cake for her daughter.
The customer's dad is apparently a keen gardener so we went for the garden bench with the trowel & fork on it. Meanwhile, her daughter has just returned from travelling for 6 months, during which she visited Hawaii & Canada so I created the signpost & rucksacks to represent her and her boyfriend. The customer also wanted the cake to say Welcome home somwhere so I used the bunting idea.
The sheep are because they all live on a sheep farm in Northumberland and the customer had seen my previous sheep and just wanted some!

There has been much talk about Facebook's inability to crack the tough, localized Asian market, but in an interview with Facebook's top brass in Korea, this situation seems to be improving.
Korea is a key test market for Facebook, and this should send a message to other global tech companies hoping to do business in Korea, particularly those engaged with expansion on mobile.
It was also proven last year that Facebook was taking the Korean market seriously when their CEO, Mark Zuckerberg visited Korea to hold high level talks with Samsung and other top Korean companies.
"Korea is a unique market where over 90 percent of users access Facebook through smartphones," said Benjamin Joe, head of Facebook Korea, in an interview with The Korea Herald.
Joe went on to explain that, despite rumors Facebook Korea was struggling to attract users, the organization has been ramping up its Seoul facility, with a three-fold increase in the number of staff over the last two years.
He assured reporters that further expansion is in the pipeline. His comments were aimed at dispelling rumors that Facebook Korea is going to shut down due to low ad revenue.
"Facebook sees Korea as an important country due to its high mobile usage and the presence of global companies like Samsung and Hyundai," he said.
"This makes Korea an important test bed to Facebook [which is] wishing to be a mobile-first company."
Facebook has heavily invested in global mobile applications and only last week surprised the markets by acquiring the world's most popular mobile messenger, WhatsApp, for $19 billion.
Ramping up office staff in Korea is one thing, but Joe went on to highlight that Korea's number of daily mobile users has increased to 7.3 million last December — up 17.7 percent from six months ago when the company first released the data. The presence of global electronics and automobile companies in Korea makes the nation attractive to the global IT giant.
"Korean handset makers like Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics are very important partners to Facebook, and it has even been suggested that the Korea office was initially established in order to fully leverage the important relationship with Samsung, the maker of over 30 percent of the world's smartphones.
"We are working closely with [Korean tech companies] to make their devices more social," Joe stated. "Share" buttons letting smartphone users share links on Facebook is one example, he added.
Facebook has also recently partnered with the nation's automobile manufacturer Kia Motors to increase the social experience for passengers in their vehicles. Kia is now jointly developing the in-car voice recognition system UVO, which provides quick access to a vehicle's multimedia and infotainment systems and which will be integrated with Facebook in the future.
"Once the system is commercialized, drivers will search for information on Facebook in their vehicles and not through their smartphones," said Joe.
Facebook is also offering a marketing platform for Korean companies to reach global users. Not only major brands but also many small and medium-size companies in Korea are clients of Facebook, which has more than 1 million advertisers globally.
"The biggest advantage of Facebook is to enable companies to have targeted marketing based on demographic factors such as age, workplace, school, or interests," Joe said. Using the Facebook platform is one way that Korean SMEs and large corporations can effectively engage overseas customers, an issue that has plagued many Korean tech companies in the past.
Joe believes that the outlook for Korea's user base is also great, and he expects that the social giant will continue to expand the number of users by implementing more local features and better translation service pages.
Facebook's monthly active users (MAUs) reached 13 million last December, up 18 percent from six months earlier. This figure is still well shy of the MAU figures achieved by Kakao Talk, Korea's top social platform, but demonstrates solid growth.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Tropical Fish Diseases
- - 4 of 5 Cory's & 1 Hoplo: rapid breathing
4 of 5 Cory's & 1 Hoplo: rapid breathing 1. What is the size of your tank? Volume: 102.6 litres, 22.6 UK gallons or 27.1 US gallons 2. What are your water parameters? State the brand of test kit used. Ammonia: 0 ppm Nitrite: 0 ppm (both kits are API: Aquarium Pharmaceuticals) *I asked the fish store guy what I should have to test my water and he only gave me these two, so I don't know the pH among other things. 3. Is your aquarium set up freshwater or brackish water? freshwater 4. How long the aquarium has been set up? Appox. 6 mos. 5. What fish do you have? How many are in your tank? How big are they? How long have you had them? 1 Corydoras aeneus - Appox. 6 mos 1 Hoplosternum littorale - Appox. 6 mos 1 Corydoras concolor - Appox. 3 mos 1 Corydoras schwartzi - 1 month 1 Corydoras panda - 1 month 6 Puntius anchisporus Appox. 4 mos 6. Were the fish placed under quarantine period (minus the first batch from the point wherein the tank is ready to accommodate the inhabitants)? NO 7. What temperature is the tank water currently? 25 to 26°C (77 - 78° F) 8. Are there live plants in the aquarium? 1 Anubias 9. What filter are you using? State brand, maintenance routine and power capacity. AquaClear 300 (I believe the newer versions are called AquaClear 70: 70 gal's). I changed the charcoal Nov. 1. I put the mesh bag of 'rocks' into the main aquarium once in a while for my Corys to pick away at the gunk on the mesh - which they love. 10. Any other equipment used (aside from heater and filter which are two very important components of the tank)? Substrate: Black Sand aka: Black Slag Lighting: Incandescent Solar Series 2 x 25 watt bulbs 11. Does your aquarium receive natural sunlight at any given part of the day? What is your lighting schedule (assuming you do not rely on sunlight for our viewing pleasure)? No direct sun. Lighting is now 10 or less hrs/ day. 12. When did you perform your last water change: Sunday and how much water was changed? Approx 25% How often do you change your water? For the last month: weekly Do you vacuum the substrate? Yes 13. What foods do you provide your fish? What is the feeding schedule? Feed a pinch of flake, twice daily and alternate between Sera San Colour and Growth Enhancing Flake Food and Omega One Natural Protein Formula Freshwater Flakes. Give 6 Hikari Sinking Wafers daily (3 in the am, 3 in the pm) Once or so a week I give half a 'cube' of frozen Bloodworm, at separate feedings, instead of the flake and wafers. 14. What unusual signs have you observed in your fish? Found out a month ago that I was supposed to be doing 10 - 15% weekly water changes, so started that. Have been letting the water sit for several days in a bucket then treating it with Tetra Aqua Easy Balance Water Conditioner ("Reduces frequent water changes, keeps water biologically balanced for 6 months"). It didn't specifically say that it neutralized chemicals, but everything I read on the internet said you're supposed to treat water with a "water conditioner" so that's what I thought I had (it came with the rescue fish and tank). Had been noticing the Hoplo and two Cory's breathing a little heavy, but two of them had been so neglected previously, I think they must have gotten a bit of gill damage as they always seem to breathe a little heavier. Was in a store today and saw Aqua Clear beside "AquaSafe Water Conditioner ("makes tap water safe or fish, neutralizes chlorine, heavy minerals, chlormamine, etc)", and realized that I had not been using the right product to treat my tap water. :( In the meantime, I see that most people seem to recommend a 25% weekly water change, so today I did that much. I treated the new water with Aqua Safe, then put more in according to the instructions on the bottle to neutralize the tap water crap that I'd been putting in there for the water changes (as I understand chloramine does not evaporate, so I assumed it's still in the tank). Now, the Hoplo and 3 Cory's are breathing heavily (The Panda Cory and barbs aren't). The bronze Cory is swimming around like crazy (though he often does that - he's got a terrible 'crush' on the Hoplo [I'm not kidding] rubs all over her all of the time), but I'm paranoid that it seems worse now). AND there are some bubbles at the surface of the tank - not a huge amount, but I haven't seen any before. Since the AquaSafe is the only thing I changed/ new since the last water change, I assume the bubbles are from it. Probably this is obvious, but the bubbles increase or decrease when I increase/ decrease the filter speed. They are the same colour as the water (i.e. they're not white or foamy or anything). 15. Have you treated your fish ahead of diagnosis? If so, what treatments did you use? State your reasons for planning ahead of proper diagnosis. (see above and below?) Dumb @$$ed New aquarist here. Acquired the Hoplo and Bronze Cory as 'rescues' and have been playing catch up for the last few months to try to figure out how to properly maintain their habitat. Have been relying on the advice of the fish store people, then playing catch up online when I'm looking for more information and/ or something seems like it's not right. And something seems like it's not right, so here I am. :YMSIGH: About a week ago, I found out that the algae in my tank was a problem and realized the lights were on for way too long. Did a clean last Sunday of the plastic plants and the rock. Left the wood piece though as I know it's stressful for fish to change too much at once. Reduced the time the lights are on to 10 hrs. Also now trying to net out as much as I can of the uneaten food (my fish don't like all off the components in either of the two foods and spit certain flakes out. Picky eaters!). Unfortunately my Hoplo cat sometimes gets skittish, and sometimes bangs into the side of the tank, so it's a bit of a precarious balance with how aggressive I get in there with the net. Did I just pretty much seal the fate of my little guys? :-S Can you O.D. on AquaSafe? I put the right amount in to treat my whole tank, though I just did a 25% water change. All of the fish are acting pretty much normally other than the, er, 'heavy breathing' and increased energy from the Bronze Cory, and all have an appetite. The Hoplo and the Bronze are zipping up to the top, as they usually do, slightly more often, but the others are not and the Barbs aren't gulping air or even breathing fast. Any ideas? I don't see any evidence sickness (I've read a bunch and looked at a lot of [horrible] pictures), though I know that it isn't always immediately apparent. Over the months I've had them, I've seen a couple of them occasionally 'flash' but rarely and inconsistently. Haven't noticed them doing that today at all. Any advice is appreciated! Kat |
whoa.very detailed indeed.your cory's could be stressed out just like you are or they could be having gills flukes or maybe their gills got damaged some how when you did the water change |

Fabulous Vintage Etruscan Bracelet Goddess Garnet ring Turquoise hallmarked
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
These two pieces just called to each other when I saw them. The turquoise face goddess looks so great with the antique silver ( content unknown) hallmarked bracelet that I could not sell them apart. The bracelet is hand wrought with some fabulous metal work that surrounds turquoise cabs. The bracelet is hinged and has a hidden pin catch which works great. It measures 7 1/4" when closed and is 1" wide . It has very good weight to it as well. The ring is a size 8 and the setting with the face and garnet crown is 1 1/2" long including the garnet headdress.
