Updated the Swedish translation for Galeon yesterday. Hopefully someone will check it in too.
Exams time is back again... *sigh*
I have so many translations to do!
Updated the Swedish translation for Galeon yesterday. Hopefully someone will check it in too.
Exams time is back again... *sigh*
I have so many translations to do!
Started working on the ThatPHPware weblog project.
Well I've volunteered to maintain the Swedish translation of XMMS. There was a previous Swedish translation, done by Olle Hällnäs, but it was incomplete and he was happy to hand it over. ;-)
Don't know when I will be finished with it, though. Maybe tomorrow, maybe in a week.
I've already annoyed Håvard Kvålen with stupid questions...
Was in Germany last weekend. Lots of fun.
Started working on Monday, will be working during the summer until the semester starts again. I'm working in the IT department of a hospital in Malmö, Sweden.
I've offered to maintain the hello package, since the original Swedish translation maintainer didn't have the time to maintain it. I've updated it and sent it in today.
I'm also doing Red Hat translations like a raving maniac. Summer should be vacation time, but I have more work to do than ever... ;-)
Was home this weekend. My youngest nephew was baptized on Saturday. Lots of relatives visiting. Fun.
I have now added id-utils to my list of translation projects. I finished the translation this evening and I'm just waiting for comments and suggestions before I send it in.
The computer graphics project didn't work, btw. We decided to wait with it until after the summer. Maybe we'll be ending up rewriting everything in C instead of Java... ;-)
The Pan translation was finished this weekend and I sent it to ahyden. I hope he likes it and checks it in into the GNOME cvs. :)
I haven't done much else translationwise. The exams are over for this time, but me and a friend still have the project in the Computer Graphics course unfinished. The project is about implementing a small set of OpenGL ("MiniGL") in Java and some "simple" demos for demonstrating it. It should be finished and presented Thursday June 8th. I don't know if we'll make it in time.
Almost finished with the Swedish translation of Pan.
Have begun work on the specs.sv.po file. That's the descriptions and summaries of all the RPMs in Red Hat, waiting to be translated into Swedish. There's a lot of them, and they are really lengthy.
$ msgfmt -v specs.sv.po
37 translated messages, 1675 untranslated messages.
Ouch. Guess I'll be finished some time next year.
Added myself to Advogato. That might be overkill, as I'm just a translator, not a developer. Oh, well.
Wondering if i dare to add Red Hat as a project on
Advogato. I helped translate the Red Hat install, but I'm
wondering if people would consider Red Hat a project worthy
Advogato. But I think I'll try to add Red Hat anyway, as I
think it qualifies as a software project.
I think I'll find out if a lot of people disagree... ;-)
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

New life for old Gonzaga bar
SPOKANE, Wash. - The old Bulldog bar and restaurant near Gonzaga University will soon open its doors with another name. This, while another Spokane restaurant closes its doors.
For 65 years, the building was known as The Bulldog. For one year it was the University Bar and Grill, and now the owners of Chairs Coffee are hoping to turn it back into an icon in the Spokane and Gonzaga community by transforming it into a coffee and a public house.
Mitchell Moczulski and his business partners own Chairs Coffee on Indiana Avenue now, and hope to continue their success by renovating and rejuvenating the location with java to market to all ages.New life for old Gonzaga bar
"Spokane needs new ideas for multiple ages to be able to go to. There's not enough for the under 21 crowd to do in Spokane. It's why we weren't just going to throw in another bar here," Moczulski said.
Ten new jobs will be added at the location where they'll serve coffee, wine, beer, and mixed drinks throughout the day. At a certain point each night, they'll only stay open for people 21 and over.
"Who knows, we may be open serving after hours bar food on the weekends until three or four in the morning and then open up for students at six the next day so we may end up being a 24-hour place if it works," Moczulski said.
As Chairs Coffee and Public House gets ready to open its doors next month, Savory on the South Hill at 13th and Grand is closing. A sign on the door said they were closed for the day so they could enjoy the Super Bowl with family and friends. However, on their Facebook page, it says Savory is closed for business. Owners also thanked to the community and patrons.

Emotional trip for newest Penguins player PyattJanuary 12, 2014 9:46 PM
The Penguins' trip through western Canada in the past week, especially the first stop in Vancouver, brought mixed emotions for newest team member Taylor Pyatt.
Pyatt, a winger, got a chance to bond with his teammates and continue to learn the team's schemes, sure, but then there was the emotional aspect.
"I still think about it when I go back there, how much things changed over the years," Pyatt said. "Now that a little bit more time as passed, it makes it a little bit more easy."
April 3, 2009, Pyatt, then playing for the Vancouver Canucks, got one of those phone calls no one ever wants to get. His fiancée, Carly Bragnalo — his high school sweetheart, the woman he planned to marry in the upcoming summer — died when a cab in which she was riding crashed while she was on vacation in Jamaica. Her mother also was in the vehicle and was injured.
Pyatt and Bragnalo were 27 at the time.
"It's been four or five years now," Pyatt said. "The first couple of times going back [to Vancouver] was definitely a lot more emotional."
Pyatt isn't sure anyone who goes through such a loss ever really comes to terms with it.
"I guess you just sort of learn to live with it," he said. "It was definitely a really tough six months to a year afterward to sort of get back on my feet."
At the time, Pyatt took a leave to spend time in his hometown — Thunder Bay, Ontario.
"I went home for about six weeks and ended up coming back and playing in a few playoff games, but looking back now I don't really know how I was able to play in those games," Pyatt said. "I was still such an emotional wreck."
Having the structure of hockey, being around teammates, were important parts of his healing.
"It helps you get through the first little while," he said. "It definitely helps to have something to get up and work toward every day and be surrounded by 20 guys, 20 best friends. That definitely helps to get through those tough times."
That summer, instead of getting married, Pyatt changed his environment by signing as a free agent with the Phoenix Coyotes.
"That's part of the reason I went to Phoenix, was to sort of go somewhere where I could still play but be out of the Canadian spotlight," he said. "I was able to sort of get my career back on track.
"But it's still kind of emotional going back there [to Vancouver] for me."
That season in Vancouver already was emotional because promising defenseman Luc Bourdon was killed in a motorcycle accident. Bourdon was one of Penguins defenseman Kris Letang's best friends, and Letang has a tattoo honoring Bourdon.
"That was the summer before, so it was a tough year for the guys in Vancouver," Pyatt said.
The Penguins claimed Pyatt off of waivers from the New York Rangers Jan. 2, so now he's got a new set of teammates. He said they don't bring up his personal tragedy very often.
"Not so much," he said. "It's been almost five years. You've got to start to move on."
Pyatt, 32, has no points in five games with the Penguins playing primarily on the third line. At 6 feet 4, 230 pounds, he adds a size element that the Penguins were lacking among their forwards. He has three hits, three blocked shots.
When Pyatt arrived, the Penguins instructed him to simply play, telling him he could worry about learning the details over time.
"I'm still trying to go over some of the systems stuff, still trying to adjust to that," he said. "I'm starting to get a little more familiar with it. It's one thing to know it, and another thing to be able to go out and execute it."
Pyatt played 13 minutes, 58 seconds in a 2-1 win Saturday night at Calgary, the most ice time of his five games with his new team and the most he has played since he logged 15:21 Oct. 26 with the Rangers, who pretty much phased him out of their plans as the season unfolded.
"I'm still trying to find a role," he said of his new team. "I've gotten some decent ice time. I'm still trying to play hard and be effective.
"I'm starting to get a little more comfortable, and starting to get to know the guys a little bit better. It's been nice to be on the road with everyone and get to know everyone a little better."
It was only five days after he arrived in Pittsburgh that Pyatt took off with the Penguins for their three-game western Canada trip.
"We had a team dinner [Wednesday night], and I was able to hang out with some of the guys and get to know them a little bit closer," he said. "That's always the best way to do it — get on the road with the guys. Everyone's been great so far, very welcoming. I'm enjoying myself."

Alexandria's Old Town, Frederick on list of 'best downtowns'
The streets of Alexandria's Old Town and downtown Frederick have landed snugly inside a new Top 10 list of the best downtowns of 2014.
The website Livability.com produced the list and turned it into a slideshow, counting down from No. 10. Downtown Alexandria landed in the No. 5 spot on the list. Frederick was No. 6. No. 1? Fort Worth, Texas.
"The best downtowns foster creativity, inclusion and innovation," the editors note on the website. "They showcase what is good about a community by offering a diverse array of local architecture, art, lifestyles and things to do. Great downtowns unite residents from all walks of life, even those in the suburbs, by providing places to connect. Above all, the top-performing downtowns must maintain a high level of energy and give all residents in a city a reason to come on down.''
Livability.com said Old Town, with its "cobblestone streets and century-old buildings" fit the bill, especially since Old Town also happens to have a "modern, hip vibe."
Frederick, too, has that old-world charm mixed with martini bars, art galleries, boutiques, residences and family attractions, according to Livability.com.

Anderson feted for 'Go' contributions, Feb. 10
Posted February 2, 2007; 05:57 p.m.
Philip Anderson, the Joseph Henry Professor of Physics Emeritus at
Princeton, will receive a lifetime achievement award from Nihon Ki-in,
the association of Japanese professional Go players and teachers,
during a ceremony at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 10, in the Frist Campus
Center Multipurpose Room.
Officials from Nihon Ki-in and the president of the New York Go Center will present Anderson, an accomplished Go player, with a diploma during the New Jersey Open Go Tournament, which is the state championship and a major regional event for the Asian board game.
The award recognizes Anderson's contributions to the establishment of Go culture in New Jersey. A diploma of this kind done in the Japanese shodo style of calligraphy has been awarded only three times previously in the United States to physicist Albert Einstein, chess player and author Edward Lasker, and astronaut Daniel Barry.
Anderson traveled to Japan in 1953 as the country's first Fulbright scholar in physics and there first encountered Go, a board game similar to chess and checkers. He remained an avid player during his years at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, N.J., and later at Princeton. A renowned solid state physicist, Anderson received the Nobel Prize in 1977 for his work on the electronic structure of magnetic and disordered systems.
About 80 players from the tournament are expected to join Anderson for the award ceremony. The New Jersey Open is one of the oldest tournaments in the United States. For more information, contact 1973 Princeton alumnus Rick Mott at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Kutna Hora is a town in the Czech Republic once famous for producing silver but now just scraping by on the whole "but we used to produce silver!" story. So not especially interesting, except for one building. Yes, we travelled all the way out there to visit a chapel, of all things. But this one is interesting! It's a chapel decorated with the skeletons of 40,000 people. It's a very sacred churchyard (apparently Jesus scattered a handful of soil there from some special place) so they've been burying every man and his dog there. Just kidding, Greyfriars Bobby taught me no matter how special the dog is, they can't be buried on consecrated ground. Although he definitely deserved to be. Confused? Then you obviously didn't read my Edinburgh blog closely enough, did you!
When they had to move a bunch of earth to shore up the precariously leaning church and extend it, they ended up with 40,000 skeletons. They didn't have room to bury them but didn't want to remove them from the graveyard, so they left them in the chapel. Some morbid monks sorted them by bone type and then turned them into art, so here we are!
We went on a tour. It was easier. The tour wasn't too expensive - we still caught the train in and everything, but we figured it was a good way to see the town while we were there. First stop was the bone chapel, and it was pretty amazing. I'll let the pictures do most of the talking for me, but take special note of the giant piles of skulls, arm bones and leg bones all neatly arranged, the signature of the creepy monk done in bones, the coat of arms of the family done in bones with a crow-skeleton pecking the eye of a skull (supposedly that's a Muslim), the specially stored skulls of those who died from head injuries (eg, axes) and my personal favourite, the giant chandelier made from every bone in the human body. Although nobody has found the ear bones yet.
After poking around and taking photos for the better part of an hour, everyone's curiosity was sated and we retired outside
The tour ran through the rest of Kutna Hora, but it wasn't that exciting. St Barbara's Cathedral, Czech lunch, plague column, various bits and pieces. We made friends with one American and two Sydneysiders and spent the day with them. The tour took longer than it was supposed to and we missed our train, so we waited for the next one in an old-man Czech pub, complete with mounted deer heads and horns of various creatures. And that was our day! Sorry the rest was a bit ho-hum, but after a chapel covered in bones it's hard for statues and streets to compete!
Peace, love and finger bones,
Amanda and Ben

"Front Runners" was pretty good, but something about it didn't click for me. I really liked how the city square was much more populated and visually interesting than these types of things once were on this show, and the fact that the rebels used their training from the last episode instead of just sort of ignoring those aspects (as sometimes has happened). I'll have to judge it as part of the four-episode whole, since in and of itself it wasn't too amazing. I am still interested in seeing how this arc plays out, so I guess it set up the next two relatively well.
I'm not really sure why they played up the significance of Steela's "He's my brother" line. Apart from the ROTJ connection, uh, didn't we already know they were siblings? Was it supposed to show Ahsoka that Steela liked Lux, not Saw? It struck me as a bizarre way to end the episode.
Vader basically has Starkiller round up the Empire's most vocal dissidents and group them together to form the political side of the Rebel Alliance. As I recall - and I haven't played the game since it came out four years ago - Starkiller dies protecting them on the Death Star, and they use his family crest as the Rebel Alliance symbol (though a Jedi with a family crest always struck me as somewhat odd). The little red symbol on some of the Rebels' armor looks a bit like the symbol, so maybe they'll retcon that part. Aside from that, I don't see why this can't be seen as the start of the military side of the alliance, and TFU can be seen as the start of the political side.Originally Posted by DarkJedi5

Google I/O: Underneath the covers at Google
This session deserves a much longer post, but I just wanted to put down the most interesting stuff quick. Basically, a back-end developers guide of how Google is put together - from how a request that someone does in a browser gets a response to how those responses are put together from multiple sources and how those sources are built up.
Everyone knows Google's love of lots of commodity hardware for their servers, but it was interesting to hear some other things - reasonably low-end networking gear too. Otherwise, that they've back where they started in terms of machines without cases shoved into in-house-designed racks. The scale has changed dramatically, of course.
"If you have 10k servers, expect to lose 10 a day..."
GFS's masters are same server hardware as slaves - take part in master election like any other machine. Google puts "millions" of pages together in a GFS "file", since it uses 64MB chunks. 200+ clusters, many of them 1000s of machines, pools of 1000s of clients. 4+PB filesystems, 40GB/s read/write load (even while HW is failing constantly).
MapReduce usage within Google is growing fast - 700 new applications in a recent month at peak, currently around 10k applications. From 171k MapReduce jobs in March 2006 to 2.2 million jobs in September 2007. MapReduce is very optimised to keep jobs near the data they need to conserve precious network speed within the datacentre.
Google still has one large shared source base(!), from low-level libraries used by anything to domain-specific libraries to applications. Benefits are that it's easy to find examples of usage of something so you can use it correctly, and to reuse (ie, as a library). Drawbacks being that such reuse causes some fairly tangled dependencies.
Language usage at Google: C++ for all high-performance, commonly-accessed web stuff. Java is used for less-performance-oriented and/or lower-volume applications. Python is used behind the scenes for things like configuration, administration, &c.

OCC chancellor, faculty at odds
New demands of job market erupt in clash over over control
A power struggle between the chancellor and instructors at Oakland Community College flared up in a public way Friday, but it actually has been in a slow burn for some time over staffing and control of college academics to reflect the demands of the job market.
Long before a no-confidence vote Friday on Chancellor Timothy Meyer, the administration and leaders of the Oakland Community College Faculty Association have clashed on broad strategic matters, like how OCC defines its mission and performance targets, and seemingly picayune business, like how many faculty positions the college keeps in ceramics.
Meyer, OCC's chancellor since 2008, said the college is making administrative changes to adapt to the latest needs of local employers and universities that accept OCC transfer students, while coping with new budget realities amid reduced enrollment, property values and per-pupil state aid.
Meyer said he was a "little surprised" by the faculty's action, which cited "lack of leadership and absence of vision for student success."
"Most of the constituents of the college are reasonably satisfied with the direction we're taking," Meyer said. "But a group of individuals are sometimes very threatened with change. In any group, some will be early adopters and some will resist it all the way."
OCC, the state's largest community college with nearly 27,000 students, is not the first to lock horns with faculty or get a vote of no-confidence for its top executive.
The Jackson College faculty voted no confidence in President Daniel Phelan in January, as did the faculty of Centreville-based Glen Oaks Community College in President Gary Wheeler in late 2012 and Scottville-based West Shore Community College against President Charles Dillon in 2009. Tussles over control have taken place at others.
"Community colleges are known for being nimble and quick to change, and sometimes it happens quicker than the pace that faculty is comfortable with," said Michael Hansen, president of the Michigan Community College Association.
Points of dispute
At OCC, there isn't agreement on the core issues of the dispute, but they include faculty complaints about lack of communication, staffing decisions and disagreements about an Education Master Plan OCC adopted last May.
The master plan was developed in the wake of a two-year, $500,000 contract for Sacramento, Calif.-based College Brain Trust to review and evaluate college programs and practices and furnish reports with recommendations on performance.
The plan set forth 12 objectives for the college to achieve. (See box, above right.) Meyer has performance objectives tied to the plan.
Mary Ann McGee, president of the faculty association, said the faculty has no formal position on the master plan, but had some issues about the cost of the College Brain Trust contract and that faculty members got short notice whenever the consultant was planning to visit the campus.
"We're always a little standoffish when we feel that someone who is not an expert in our particular field tells us what we should be doing (for instruction)," McGee said. "Now I've read the master plan, word for word, and it's pretty vague and has a lot of mother and apple pie in it. And there's nothing wrong with that, but the devil's in the details, and it doesn't have a lot of details."
The college contends that the litany of concerns the faculty raised in its no-confidence vote are rooted in union leaders' unwillingness to embrace structural changes the college is making — including curriculum changes in carrying out the master plan.
Those include establishing a developmental education program to make OCC students from various educational backgrounds proficient in basic subjects at a college level and also being able to set curriculum direction to meet community needs and interest.
Developmental education, in particular, spurred a blowback from union leadership last fall when the program affected other departments, said Vice Chancellor of External Affairs Sharon Miller.
The program itself began quietly during the 2012-13 academic year, and OCC took seven voluntary faculty transfers to staff it. But when it transferred in more vacant positions, including some from the college's ceramics program, union members turned out in force to oppose the move before the board, said Miller and Daniel Kelly, chairman of the OCC trustees and partner at Troy-based Giarmarco Mullins & Horton PC.
Ceramics has a large following but produces relatively few degrees compared with other schools. Two remaining faculty positions in ceramics were re-categorized in fall 2013 as full-time temporary positions, which are subject to review every six months and do not count toward the union's 290 members.
Michael Vollbach, former faculty association chairman at the Royal Oak and Southfield campuses, said the faculty wanted to maintain contract positions in ceramics.
But after hearing comments from students who take recurring classes in ceramics without a clear career focus, it became harder to gather support for the program.
A board decision to increase the tuition for English as a Second Language for non-county residents also met faculty resistance, Kelly said, although Vollbach said the instructors were mostly concerned the move would hurt diversity at OCC.
Hansen, of the Michigan Community College Association, said community colleges are facing tough decisions now that reduced property values in Michigan have cut into their tax revenue, which was offset for a while by a recession-driven enrollment bump that has since abated as people return to work.
Oakland Community College has current-year property tax revenue of about $74 million, Meyer said. That compares to a peak of $98.9 million in 2007-08, according to data from the Michigan Community College Network.
Cut channels
McGee said faculty leaders also have been concerned with a number of organizational changes Meyer has made that cut lines of communication between the administration and faculty.
Those moves, McGee said, include an email directing administrators who attend meetings of the faculty's Academic Senate not to participate. Two other organizations, the College Planning Council and its Council for Academic and Student Services that make some operational decisions, she said, have not met in more than 2 ½ years.
"We're starting to be very worried about this pattern of dismantling these various structures," she said. "And we've had conversations with (Meyer), or tried to, about what kind of structure he envisions that could exist instead. So we're willing to say, look, tell us what sort of structures you want to have. But we've had no response."
Vollbach, a history and geography instructor, said Meyer has a history of not attending some faculty relations meetings and that union leadership feels that Meyer didn't involve the faculty enough in developing the master plan.
But, he adds, Meyer has generally been offering a vision for leadership that not all of his predecessors had and the College Brain Trust evaluation process was fairly sound.
Meyer acknowledged that he hasn't attended faculty relations meetings recently and sends a human resource executive in his place, in part because meetings became rancorous when he did attend.
"I hope if anything the chancellor does a couple of mea culpas, and if he said he hasn't done some things that could go a long way with some of the rank and file," Vollbach said. "Because I think that rank-and-file faculty is thinking, look, we have otherwise pretty good leadership."
Still the faculty passed the vote of no confidence by about a 93 percent vote among the 256 faculty members present, McGee said.
"It's very much this individual's management style that we think is autocratic and not inclusive," she said. "And our belief is you can't serve as the leader of just one group of people. You need to be the leader of the entire campus community."
Trustees issued an immediate statement of support for Meyer.
"The board of trustees absolutely supports Dr. Meyer and his vision to shepherd the college through these times of change," Kelly said in a statement issued on behalf of the board. "When faced with challenging decisions, it's natural to want to resist them. As stewards of the community, the board will make and support the difficult decisions needed to improve the college."

Thanks for "bringing 'em back", Ken. Where have these fellow RTFers gone? Of course we know Bob G has passed on, but I'm not aware of any of the others 'crossing over'. Hey Corey...Dover Joe...Bruce Mac...even Lee (WRL)...where are you folks? BTW, it would be good if Lee could 'splain her answer. How is it you were so optimistic, Lee?
I don't recall if I was available at that time...probably hunting...and missed that poll. But I would have been #26 in the group that it just wouldn't happen, primarily because I was in favor of Rush's proclamation that "I hope this guy fails." By now, most should understand why.
And now, why would you want 4 more years of this regime? If the same poll was run, would the 61% change? It really doesn't take much prescience to predict the past 4 years will only get worse if the oligarchy succeeds in energizing enough fools to put them back in office.
The Democrats in that poll must by now be demoralized at what a sham Obama has been. I can't even see any of them voting for him again. Guess I see them being more intelligent than that.

While winter's cold and wet weather shows no sign of relenting anytime soon, members of the Taylor County Fair Association are already getting warmed up for this year's fair. For the first time in the fair's 17-year history, the amusement rides and attractions will be extended to nine days.
The carnival will open Friday, May 30, and run through Saturday, June 7.

Campbellsville University
It might seem a little early for swimming trunks and bathing suits outside, but Campbellsville University wants residents to put their courage on ice.
Scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 22, at 1:30 p.m., the Tiger Plunge will pit the human spirit against Mother Nature as CU students, faculty and staff, along with members of the community, run through the fountain in the center of CU's Alumni & Friends Park.

Campbellsville University began its 2014 chapel series on Wednesday, Jan. 15, with a theme of "Finding Your Compass."
The Rev. Dave Walters, vice president for admissions and student services, asked students to perform random acts of kindness as well as "paying it forward" when he requested them to "find your compass" for life.
Taylor and Green county residents can receive free help with income tax preparation from the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program.
Electronic filing will be available free of charge. AARP membership is not required for assistance.
Counselors providing the help are retired business people with considerable experience in tax matters. This year's counselors are Brenda Cook, Carolyn Scott, Kathy Curry, Gail Munday and Bettie Jo Russell.
State Rep. John "Bam" Carney, R-Campbellsville, and State Sen. Sara Beth Gregory, R-Monticello, will host a legislative forum at Taylor County Courthouse on Monday, Jan. 20, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. to brief constituents on the 2014 legislative session. The forum is free and open to the public.
"I'm looking forward to visiting with constituents in Taylor County and sharing information about the session," Gregory said.
Campbellsville University will celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with guest speaker Dr. Forrest E. Harris, president of American Baptist College, at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 22, at Ransdell Chapel.
Greater Campbellsville United is a co-sponsor of the event, and Joshua Percell and Courageous will perform.
Taylor County Fair Association recently announced that a contract has been signed with a new company to provide the midway at next year's Taylor County Fair.
The new contract is with Miller Spectacular Shows based in Greenbrier, Ark.
"We are very excited to be bringing in what we believe will be a very high quality midway and hope this is the beginning of a long-term relationship for our fair and Miller Spectacular Shows," said Mike Litchfield, president of the Taylor County Fair Association.
One hill, one home, one heart at a time. That's the internal campaign pastor Dave Walters said is moving through Lowell Avenue Baptist Church and its surrounding community.
About a year ago, the church mapped out nearby streets and assigned members of the congregation a street to walk through and pray for the people who live there.
Lucas Pennington
Campbellsville University will have two commencement ceremonies on Friday, Dec. 13, at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., in Ransdell Chapel, when 196 graduates will receive diplomas.
Kasey Ricketts
Taylor County residents are invited to take an 11-day inspirational tour of Israel and Jordan.
Dr. Scott Wigginton, professor of pastoral ministries and counseling at Campbellsville University, said the group will be leaving from Nashville, Tenn., on an overnight flight to Jordan on March 1. They will arrive back home on March 11.
The last day to reserve a spot on the trip is Sunday, Dec. 15.

Fashion Week has a 'Burgh flavorFebruary 9, 2014 11:33 PM
NEW YORK -- Pittsburghers were out and about in the Big Apple this weekend for New York Fashion Week, which runs through Thursday and previews looks for next fall and winter at venues across the city.
On Saturday evening, Bloomfield native and hair stylist Philip Pelusi was at Lincoln Center with a team of stylists -- a handful of whom were from his salons in Pittsburgh -- to style hair for the Venexiana runway show. He planned an updo incorporating braids and rhinestoned hair clips, a style he dubbed "the coquette," he said.
Across the street at the Empire Hotel on Manhattan's Upper West Side, Pittsburgh native Sheena Trivedi, who now lives in New York, presented her latest collection called "Kids of Bengal." The show attracted buyers from London, Ms. Trivedi said, who came to see the line of edgy-meets-exotic men and women's wear.
Meanwhile In Chelsea, shoes from Pittsburgh-based e-commerce site ShoeDIVABoutique.com were featured in some runway shows. Green Tree resident Janelle Cutler started the company about a year ago and hopes to expand its global reach and eventually start her own shoe line, she said. Another shoe brand with Pittsburgh ties, EMY MACK shoes, were worn by models Sunday afternoon in the David Tlale runway show at Lincoln Center. Designer Emily Mack Jamison said it was the collection's first time being spotlighted at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and that opportunities with other fashion weeks across the country are on the horizon. EMY MACK shoes are handmade in Italy and are available at select locations across the country, including a showroom on Walnut St., Shadyside.
Also taking in the sights was Nikole Li of Carnegie. She was in town to promote her styling business AstonishingStyle, she said. Women with the Pittsburgh-based beauty and fashion public relations firm Pretty Living PR also were on the scene to cover shows for their company publication, Pretty Living Magazine.

Who says shortcake is just for summer and strawberries? We've fused it with fall and the great flavors of a warm fruit pie.
Shortcakes make a fun do-it-yourself dessert. Let your family make their own and add as much filling as they like. Don't forget the whipped cream!
For evenly browned shortcakes, bake the shortcakes on a shiny aluminum cookie sheet on the center oven rack.
For a change, serve these luscious shortcakes with Easy Caramel-Apple Topping: In 1-quart saucepan, heat 1 cup caramel topping until warm. Stir in 1 medium apple, cut into 1/2-inch pieces.

I am probably the youngest person that post on POTUS (and I very rarely do), so I have a question for you older guys, and ladies. Would you have ever thought that you would see the day when the following things would happen or are in the process of happening in this country?
Legalize marijuana?
Make ILLEGAL immigrants legal, which therefore makes them eligible for programs they have never contributed too!
LAW ABIDING CITIZENS (Gun Owners) would be looked at as scum of the earth, and the prez pretty much calls us that?
I could name several more, but here are a few that really get me.
Oh btw, HEY DEMS ARE YOU HAPPY YET???? Your guy is doing a GREAT job! I can remember one of you in particular that said He isnt going to mess with our 2nd Ammendment

The Secrets of Real Love Spells—Part 1
This post was written by Donald Michael Kraig
on March 23, 2012 | Comments (5)
© Dr. Michel Royon/Wikimedia Commons
For many of us the weather is still quite cold. But with the Vernal Equinox that has just occurred, Spring has sprung. In the words of Alfred Lord Tennyson, "In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love." I would add that it's also a young woman's thoughts that may turn to love, as might the thoughts of people of all ages. Plus, many plants and animals propagate, stressing that there is a type of "love" that goes beyond mere emotions. It's an actual energy that envelops the planet.
Sigmund Freud, by Max Halberstadt, 1921
Does this sound like some metaphysical pablum? Love is an energy beyond mere emotions? It's not. Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, originally called libido an actual energy. He believed a blockage in this energy was what caused psychological problems, and to cure such problems you needed to free the energy. Later, because he realized the society he lived in couldn't accept what this would entail, he change the concept of libido from an energy to a mere drive or desire.
But tell that to someone who is in love! They can literally feel the love energy throbbing through their veins. Aleister Crowley's famous dictum, "Love is the law, love under will," does not merely mean that feelings of love are important, for it immediately follows in The Book of the Law, "Nor let the fools mistake love; for there are love and love." Indeed, there is love the emotion and love the energy.
Love the energy is incredibly powerful and creative. We literally need this energy to survive and thrive. Without it we dry up and become mere husks of humanity. We need the energy of love as surely as we need air and water. And if we don't have it we'll do anything to get it, including performing rites of magick and casting love spells.
Two Types of Love Spells
There are two approaches to love spells, one is foolish, the other positive. The first is what most people think of as a love spell. It's based on the notion that love is simply a desire for someone—someone specific. There are several problems with doing a love spell to make one specific individual want you and fall in love with you. First, if you do a spell to make that particular woman or man love you—and this is possible—you are forcing them to do something against their will. Some will say that this is the essence of black magick. While I basically agree, giving magick qualities of color ends up being confusing and overlapping. Although I do this at the beginning of Modern Magick to make basic learning easier, later in the book I point out that magick is magick and such colorful qualifications are unneeded.
Yes, we shouldn't force someone to do things against their will, but the truth is, we manipulate people all the time. From asking someone to "pass the salt" to forcing them to live under onerous laws, it's a common thing to do. So even if it is black magick, so what? We can still do it and damn the karma!
I still think spells to make someone love you are foolish, not because they're black magick, but because they're ultimately self-defeating. You'll always know that the only reason that person claims to love you is because of the spell. It's not real love. It's not real emotions. It's not real love energy. It's not real.
"Well, okay," you might be thinking. "She's hot and I'm not, so I'm willing to live with that." But there's another thing to consider. If you can put such a spell on another person, someone else could be putting a similar spell on you! How would you like it if the person you thought was the scuzziest, skankiest person you'd ever met made you fall in love with them?
This type of love spell is just a bad idea, and I'll not be describing how to do it. Perform regular banishings to avoid this problem. A good banishing will prevent such negativity from entering your space.
A Better Approach
A far better way to perform a love spell is to make the universe aware that you're ready for an influx of true love energy. This also involves making yourself ready for love and being open to accepting this energy when it arrives. How do you do this? I'll describe techniques for preparing for real love magick in part two of this series.

I finally found some property to train on. Unfortunately, I don't believe I have very many options for setups. I am training for Senior/master level work. I would really like to see how you would get the most out of these grounds in testing/training.
Grounds in the first photo is approx 300x170 - pond is 80 yards across. Thin tree/shrub line marks northern edge of pond and property line.
Second photo 130x80. Tree line borders northeast corner which you can faintly see.

I finally watched that video, kinda cheesy how they edited it, but I see a few clever ideas, albeit in very plasticky guns (I'm hoping those aren't the final decos). That disc fired pretty far, not remotely straight though, and not quite as fast as a dart. If they can get tracking locked down and speed up, these might be interesting, but I suspect they'll be more of the same disc shooter nonsense.
In other news, Nerf was specifically named as a Boys Toys line that isn't floundering, unlike the other divisions at Hasbro which took a 70% nosedive this last quarter (girls toys, puzzles, games).

Well 5 days into the season and I finally managed to setup on a Tom instead of Jakes. I had went out Wednesday morning around 7:30 and someone had beat me to my spot so I drove on down to another feild and walked over a ridge and there was a longbeard with 4 hens in the feild, knowing I couldn't get in close enough to him I called a few times having him answer once but finally following his harem in the opposite direction. So I sat there for awhile and waited until they were well out of range, I then went over to his strut area and built a blind out of some fallen timber. My brother wanted to hunt with me this morning so I brought him along but told him I only built a blind big enough to hold one and this morning he would be on his own lol...I set him up at the spot that I had been beaten to the previous morning and told him where they would be coming from. I headed down the my homemade blind and sat down at 6:10 a.m. At 6:17 I heard the first gobble and he was 20 yards behind me, yes that is too close but I had no idea he was roosting right there I had thought that he came out further down the feild. Now I had been super quiet getting into the spot and had even thought to myself how good of a job I done missing all the sticks and leaves without a flashlight. No expecting to hear something that early I had left me gun against the tree, and wiht him right behind me I felt I had choice but to be dead still until he flew down. Fighting the urge to wipe the snot that was running down my face I sat there motionless while he gobbled until about 6:30 a.m. Finally a hen flew down into the feild about 50-60 yards in front of me, then another one flew down...I waited anxiously waiting for the tom to fly out but he didn't, he flew down right behind me staying in the woods. He walked literally 4 steps from me to my back he then took a left and walked 6 steps to my right. He ran into the feild and had a jake in tow, now keep in mind I don't have my shotgun in my hand yet it is still leaning on the tree. He blows up and courts his girls while the jake is scoping out any danger...the jake turns away from me and I grab my shotgun and bring it up to my shoulder as quick as I could. The jake caught some motion, but I had already had the bead on the toms tailfan. I just needed him to turn around and come out of strut, I yelled "good morning major tom" bringing him out of stut and I dropped him at 6:38 a.m at 16 paces. Great Hunt but it gets better (sorry for the long story).
I then sent my brother a text asking if he had seen anything and if he would like me to come up and help out. He texted back that he had 2 toms about 100 yards out in front of him. I waited until he texted me that they had left the area and for me to come up. I grabbed the video camera and walked the mile to him. We had setup in an area I had seen a tom in quite regular but I had also seen lots of jakes in as well. But this being only the 2nd oppurtunity for my brother to kill a bird it didn't matter. We set up and I called for a little while but we didn't see anything but a doe and her fawn walk past us. So I decided to move out of the wind and down into the ravine about 150 yards from where we were. We sat down and I called on a different call and waited about 10 minutes when I heard scratching in the leaves coming our way. So I hit the mouth call one more time and we heard the footsteps coming to us at a brisk pace and then finally he came out to the left and just behind my brother. He tried to swing his gun around and get a shot off but the area was just too thick. We did get a look at him and he was a mature gobbler, he walked by us at 15 yards but there was just no way of getting a shot without getting busted. The ole bird didn't stay long once he didn't see any hens and he took off back in the direction we had just left from. I waited until he was well away from us and told my brother that we should try to circle around and get in from of him. On our way around we encountered 3 jakes making there way to where we wanted to go, I thought about scaring them off but we waited for them to enter the woods before we moved again. Finally we entered the area we had set up previously, I got the video out and hit the aluminum call a few times. I heard something scratching the leaves directly in front of me just out f sight, 2 minutes later it's the ole tom that had just left us. He walked in full view struting, doing his thing before walking 35 yards in front of my brother...I had the video on the bird and was catching the whole show then...Boom! bird hops into the air hits a limb comes back down and takes off. No he didn't hit the bird but it sure was fun, he was shaking his head for about an hour but finally admitted that he had a great time but he was just to nervous lol. I told him that it happens to everyone that turkey hunts if they hunt long enough and we would get him next time. The video footage turned out great and the hunt that morning is what makes me love to get after these animals so much!!
BTW the gobbler I shot wasn't my biggest ever but a nice bird indeed...22lbs 9in beard and both spurs 1.125 inches.
Once I figure out what size picture this new site will let you post I will upload it.

Grisham receives Kaul Foundation Prize
Posted November 29, 2001; 01:55 p.m.
Larry Grisham, a physicist at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory , has received the Kaul Foundation Prize for Excellence in Plasma Physics and Technology Development.
The award recognizes Grisham "for his distinguished contributions to the understanding and improvement of the first generation of high-power negative-ion-based neutral beams for fusion applications." In experimental fusion devices, a beam of neutral atoms is fired into hot, ionized fuel called plasma to increase the temperature for the production of fusion power. The University awards the Kaul Prize to recognize a recent outstanding technical achievement in plasma physics or technology development by a full-time, regular employee of the PPPL.

OXFORD – A man accused of plotting a Columbine-style attack on Oxford High Schools asks for a delay in his April 8 trial.
Joshua Brandon Pillault, through his attorney, filed a second motion to delay on Tuesday, saying his defense depends upon further analysis of computer material seized by investigators at his residence.
The material "is expected to be delivered shortly," their three-page motion notes.
The government has no objection to the delay, the motion adds.
Last January, Pillault pleaded not guilty to the two-count federal indictment accusing him of the attack plot.
Originally, his trial was set to begin Feb. 25 before Chief Judge Michael P. Mills.

"I continue to enjoy my life's work."
Harold Mosak Ph.D.
Harold Mosak, Ph.D.
Core Faculty, Distinguished Service Professor
I am proud to say that I am one of the founders of Adler University. With my mentor, Rudolf Dreikurs, and colleagues Bernard Shulman and Robert Powers, we began in 1952 by framing our goals to reflect the work of Alfred Adler. Decades later, my personal mission continues to be to ensure that Adlerian concepts and practice remain central to psychological theory and therapy. Our commitment then and now has resulted in a rich, worldwide network of former students and professionals who embrace Alderian practice. Seventy years after Adler's death, his approach is as strong as ever.
Some of my fondest memories surround working with my wife, Birdie, to fulfill this vision. Over the years, we've created an extended family by connecting with hundreds of students and colleagues. There were times we provided meals and housing to students in need. There were summers with students in our home, with Birdie sometimes cooking for our "family" of twenty. We provided whatever students needed, and we've been repaid with the riches of their unending dedication. Birdie and I also worked on the comprehensive Bibliography for Adlerian Psychology, an effort of which I am immensely proud.
I am happy to say that after teaching for over sixty years at more than seventy institutions, I continue to enjoy my life's work. Currently, I teach Adlerian theory and methods as well as clinical seminars; my interests are in the role of the spiritual in psychotherapy, multiple psychotherapy, and group and couples therapy.
As for the future of the institution, I am especially confident when I see the work of our wonderful students and faculty. Their commitment to promoting social interest and focusing on communities as a strategy for mental health is the foundation for Adler University's present-day commitment to social justice. The future is indeed bright.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Locational Privacy
Did you just buy a shiny new smartphone loaded with the newest and greatest features to have conversations throughout the day, wherever you are? While your phone's capabilities are distinctly modern, a new decision in United States v. Davis allowing police to get without a warrant records of which cell tower your phone connects to ensures that a key privacy protection you should have when using your phone is stuck in 1979.
Davis: The Facts and Ruling
With more than 38-million people and some of the largest technology companies in the world calling California home, the Golden State should be a leader in safeguarding electronic privacy. For years the state's constitution has provided greater privacy protection than the Fourth Amendment. But when it comes to electronic privacy, the state has lagged behind, even as other states, such as Texas and Maine, have passed legislation to protect everything from the contents of email to the detailed location information generated by our phones.
Not anymore.
Once again, a federal court will decide whether police can track your movements over an extended period of time without a search warrant. Federal and state courts have divided over whether the Fourth Amendment requires police seek a search warrant to obtain historical cell site location information (CSLI)—the records of which cell phone towers your phone has connected to in the past. We've weighed in, filing a new amicus brief in one of the most important legal cases to watch in 2015.

The men in suits at the South African Rugby Union are going to be sweating over the next three months as their newly-born minnow, the Southern Kings, head into the deep waters of Super Rugby.
Last weekend, the Port Elizabeth-based franchise visited the relegated Lions in an ironic fixture given that the Johannesburg team were axed to make way for the Kings in a controversial boardroom decision, and had 40 points put past them, although the Kings' Kiwi coach Matt Sexton will argue that he took the fizz out of the grudge game by resting frontline players.
If that is the case, it showed the Kings have questionable depth given the Lions are a shadow of their competitive former selves because many leading players have been drafted to the Super Rugby franchises.
The birth of the Kings follows a gestation period going back almost a decade as Saru fidgeted and waffled about how they were going to revive rugby in the Eastern Cape region where black rugby has a stronghold, and has long been the attention of a South African government that has racial transformation at the top of its sporting agenda.
Finally, rugby's governing body was forced into a corner and they had to make a decision on how to make six franchises go into five (SA's Super Rugby representation). It was eventually ruled that the team that finished lowest in the 2012 tournament, the Lions, had to drop out and there is to be an annual promotion-relegation match to determine who will be South Africa's "fifth" team in Super Rugby. The chances of the Kings featuring in a promotion-relegation match later this year are outstanding. It is notable that the Force and Rebels finished last when they made their 2006 and 2011 respectively.
The only way the Kings will feature in 2013 is if Sanzar act on Saru's plaintive pleas for expansion.
Nobody has anything against the Kings - it is a good idea to foster rugby in their region, which is a breeding ground of black talent - but the issue is that they are not ready. It is likely they are going to get some big hidings and may the rugby gods have mercy on their souls when they visit the likes of the Crusaders, Hurricanes and Brumbies in March.
The Kings have a good infrastructure in place at the magnificent Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, which was built for the 2010 soccer World Cup, and have a wily director of rugby in Alan Solomons while Sexton is a promising coach. They have an inspirational captain in the charismatic Luke Watson but what they don't have is big name players or the experience to survive in the ruthless world of Super Rugby.
And they can expect no mercy from their South African colleagues, who will regard them as a bonus-point win. After hosting the Force in their first game, the Sharks come to town and last year's beaten finalists are looking better than ever.
They have kept intact their team from last year and have brought back crowd favourites in Ryan Kankowski, who was in Japan, Butch James (the Lions) and Francois Steyn (Racing Metro). The latter will captain the side in the absence of regular captain Keegan Daniel who crocked knee ligaments in a warm-up game.
The Sharks have an exceptional coach in another Kiwi, John Plumtree, and his old mate John Mitchell would have been the third New Zealander in charge of a leading team had he not been sacked by the Lions last year. Incidentally, he still lives in Johannesburg and does TV work.
The team the Sharks dramatically beat in the semifinal last year, the Stormers, will again be among the top finishers but for them to go further than last year they must hone their attacking edge. Last season, the Cape side had the best defensive record but at the same time they battled to score tries. The Stormers also have consistency in their squad and have added new young Springboks Elton Jantjies, Jaco Taute and Pat Cilliers (all from the Lions). In 2012, the Capetonians discovered the brilliant 20-year-old lock Eben Etzebeth, and he again features in a highly physical pack.
Sadly, Springbok flanker Schalk Burger remains on the injury list and it is now almost a year since he first injured his knee. He has not played in the interim.
Juan Smith, the former Cheetahs captain who played many a test in the Bok loose trio with Burger, has had similar misfortune with an Achilles tendon injury and after two warm-up games the injury flared up again and he has announced his retirement, a blow for both the Cheetahs and the Boks.
Otherwise the Bloemfontein side is looking pretty good and will be better for the maturing of youngsters such as Springbok first five-eighths Johann Goosen, popular prop Coenie Oosthuizen and Bok openside Heinrich Brussow. The Cheetahs are perennial underachievers but this year have better depth.
The Bulls were supposed to fall apart in 2012 following the retirement of Bok greats in Victor Matfied, Bakkies Botha, Fourie du Preez and Danie Rossouw and the migration of their management team to Heyneke's Meyer's Springboks, but they surprised many to finish fifth.
There is no reason to believe they cannot build on last season's performances.
Matfield is also back with the team as forwards coach, and they have recruited exciting young talent from the Lions in prop CJ Stander, wing Lionel Mapoe and lock Paul Willemse.
Greenaway's predicted conference finish
Sharks 1st, Stormers 2nd, Bulls 3rd, Cheetahs 4th, Kings 5th.

I saw Hootie at Los Feliz TRU last week.
Ended running into Bob the Plumber and Hootie yesterday at Burbank TRU. It was a red letter day.
Grabbed a CW Cold Weather Obi-Wan and the last comic pack I needed (the Ulic set) from Burbank TRU and Glendale Target today, respectively.
[FONT=Arial Narrow]
So who's going to the Burbank Ross everyday for the Star Wars figures? My wife was there and called me to tell me there were some AT-STs and if I wanted one. One of the ladies at the store told her there was some guy who went there at opening everyday just for the Star Wars figures and that it was a sad sight to see a grown up man doing that. LOL!
Been to that Ross a couple times in the afternoon hoping to come across the exclusive Muggs, but found nothing. If ATST's showed up very recently, hopefully more Muggs will trickle in too.
I never had much hope for that store though, based on location. Does that collectible store in the Mall still exist? Maybe they are hitting it up everyday before opening.
[FONT=Tahoma]I was born at night, but not last night.[/FONT]You Shouldn't believe everything that you read.(Like my posts)
I got Snowbi-Wan and Snow-Akin at Wal-Mart the other day.
I bought this big Tonka garbage truck for 3 3/4" figures to drive at TRU today.
I'm going to make the Terminator Salvation bridge attack scene where Marcus and Kyle drive a towtruck through auto wreckage while being persued by Hunter Killers and Moto-Terminators.

As Operation Pillar of Defense continues, here are the Top 5 Media Fails as HonestReporting inaugurates its Hall of Shame.
1. Jon Donnison, BBC
for retweeting a dramatic photo of two children wounded in war without making any effort to verify the photo's authenticity.
Turns out the children were wounded in Syria and the photo first appeared Oct. 28.
He later apologized for the retweet…
but with the original retweet going out to more than 7,000 followers and receiving nearly 100 retweets of its own, the apology was too little too late to undo the damage.
2. BBC News
for refusing to acknowledge misleading its audience with fake footage of wounded Palestinians.
Almost as soon as Israel launched Operation Pillar of Defense, the Pallywood machine cranked into gear, creating fake images of Palestinians being evacuated after an Israeli strike. The footage appeared on BBC and CNN reports on the fighting.
CNN took steps after the fact to verify the footage with Reuters, which distributed it. And after failing to get a satisfactory answer, removed the footage and issued an apology.
The BBC, however, stood by the footage, claiming that the footage it ran was an edit from a longer reel. The footage that appeared on the site, however, bore all of trademarks of similar attempts to fake footage on the day of the Mohammed al-Dura incident.
3. Clayton Swisher, Al-Jazeera
for tweeting that Palestinian rocket attacks at Israeli civilians were legal under the laws of war.
In fact, if there is one aim to restricting what can and can't be done during wartime, it is to protect the lives of civilians.
Swisher not only serves as an apologist for Hamas but also turns the concept of war crimes on its head.
It may be too much to expect journalists to accuse either side of war crimes. But to deny it is a step even beyond that.

Family: Pinaceae, Pine view all from this family
Description Rapidly growing pine with straight, typically multiple trunks. Crown dense and conical, opening broadly with maturity. Branches stout and whorled. Bark smooth, flaky, shallowly furrowed into flat scaly ridges, gray-brown when young, dark gray-red-brown with age. Twigs red-brown, resinous. Needles in bundles of three, yellow-green, twisted, and 9-15 cm long. Cones 8-16 cm long, clustered in whorls of three to six on the branches. Scales end in a short stout prickle. Seeds black, 6 mm (1/4 in) long, wing 2.5 -3 cm (1-1 1/4 in) long.
Dimensions Height: 9-24 m. (30-80 ft)
Diameter: 0.3-0.8 m. (1-2 1/2 ft).
Habitat Mountains.
Range California, Northwest.
Discussion Reproduction controlled exclusively by fire; trees occur in even-aged stands dating back to most recent fire. Unburned knobcone pine cones remain closed even after trees have decayed and fallen. Cones are sealed with a hard resin that requires high temperatures to liquefy, boil, and vaporize. Cone scales open gradually following heating, when the ground has cooled. Cones often remain closed for many years until a fire opens them and allows reseeding, as a result cones may become embedded in the trunk as the tree grows. Seeds enclosed in cones for 27 to 60 years have proved viable.

"Net-Metering" refers to interconnecting a renewable energy system with the power grid, such that excess on-site generated power is fed back into the grid, and such that grid power supplements the on-site demand when the on-site generation is either absent or insufficient. In this way, one can effectively use the grid as a battery and hence eliminate the need for batteries, which can decrease the cost of one's system substantially (often by 20-30%: batteries are often roughly 1/3 of the life-cycle cost of a solar electric system). This also eliminates the need for battery maintenance.
Net-metering increases the fraction of the on-site generated power which is actually used, because excess power is never wasted, unlike the power wasted when an isolated system's batteries become fully charged but the system is still generating power, and the power is used more efficiently as well.
To see more information about net-metered systems in New Mexico, see our Solar Tour Sites Listing.
Rules Governing Interconnection
There are two PRC (Public Regulatory Commission) rules governing interconnection to the grid in New Mexico, both of which are available from this website:
These rules apply wherever electricity service is regulated by the PRC. This includes the areas serviced by New Mexico's four investor owned utilities (IOUs) (which encompasses Santa Fe and Albuquerque for example), and the areas services by electric coops. It does not include municipal utilities (such as Los Alamos and Farmington), which are self regulated.
Rule 570, which became effective on 6/30/88, implements the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) of 1978, a ruling by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) which establishes the right of qualifying facilities (independent power producers) to sell power to utilities at "avoided cost". Unlike Rule 570, PURPA does in fact apply to all electric utilities in New Mexico (and in the US). Utilities not under PRC regulation must offer their own equivalent of Rule 570.
Avoided cost means the cost at which the utility would either generate the power itself or purchase from another source, which is generally less than the wholesale cost of power. Rule 570 involves a lengthy application, certification from a licensed professional electrical engineer, and possibly expensive interconnection equipment and evaluations.
To streamline the process set forth in Rule 570 and create enhanced incentives for small renewable energy systems, Rule 571 establishes the right of small renewable or alternative energy production facilities to a) Effectively use the grid as a battery, b) Sell power to the utility at avoided cost rate (the word "selling" is probably too strong - the details of the ruling basically negate using Rule 571 to establish a company to make profit selling power). The basic provisions are:
Note that, unlike the agreements that would typically be set up under Rule 570 for larger systems, the only time when a utility is absolutely required under Rule 571 to monetarily reimburse the facility owner is when the owner eventually disconnects their system. On one hand, this makes it difficult to actually generate profit selling power to the grid, because any monetary payment is delayed. On the other hand, assuming that any monetary reimbursement by the utility is limited to avoided cost rates, having the credit roll over indefinitely at full retail value, if option 6.2 above is implemented, is the most advantageous arrangement for those whose net kilowatt-hour production over a full year is negative or only slightly positive (i.e. those who primarily intend to use the grid as a battery). The rule was written this way with the latter in mind, with the idea that delayed payment for excess power produced is of less concern because small renewable energy systems tend to be too expensive to generate a profit at avoided cost rates to begin with. For those truly wanting to sell power under PURPA for profit, interconnecting under Rule 570 instead will generally be more appropriate, because 570 allows generation in excess of 10 kilowatts and regular payment.
It is worthwhile noting that use of the grid by net-metering systems generally benefits the utility as well as the system owner, by providing increased generating capacity (often during peak demand times), by offsetting both the utility transmission and distribution capacity needs of the utility, voltage support, and possibly VAR support (if the system displaces power with a poor power factor).
Technical Issues
The basic technical requirements that a net-metering system should have are a visible means of disconnection, so that a utility can disconnect the system if they are working on the system, a net-meter, which should not cost more than about $20, and an inverter that disconnects properly if the grid goes down. The latter, which is called the "anti-islanding" requirement, is met by any inverter which is UL Listed (UL List 1741 to be precise). This UL rating will also insure that the inverter also has acceptably low levels of harmonics. Note that many inverters are not UL listed - for example, modified sine wave inverters are not because they generally lack both anti-islanding and have high levels of harmonics.
Note also that Rule 571 also does not require an isolation transformer! This is major simplification and economization.
Political Issues
Of course, in our view it would be desirable to have a net-metering rule that allowed more than 10 kilowatts, and possibly a more timely and generous pay-back rate than avoided cost only at time of disconnection. Some, for example the Southwest Energy Institute, have questioned the right of the utility to set their own safety standards, since many utilities are increasingly involved in provided distributed generation. Aside from these issues, we are quite pleased with Rule 571 and the advantages it provides for renewable energy system owners.
Net-Metered Systems in New Mexico
As of this writing (October 2002), PNM (a major utility in New Mexico) has 22 net-metered systems in their service area. PNM's Pat Scharff (phone: 505-241-2548), has recently led an effort to simplify the net-metering application for PNM served areas to two pages.

GH game builds are fantastic, clean, fast to download. The Upcoming Games feature really gives me something to look forward to. Customer Service is tops! And -- GH has fabulous games & great variety. Thanks GH!
It keeps me coming back for more fun!
I started using this service a few months ago and I just love it. I play games all the time, my favorite are the hidden object, and there isn't a limit to how many i can play. If I get bored of one game I just switch to another. It's way better that paying for one game and not liking it, instead I play them all and it costs me less than $0.7 day.
