Visiting Cork City
Cork City, which still retains a sense of rural Ireland and its past, reigned as the European city of culture for 2005. Residents were proud to hold this honorary title for a year after living through several years of incessant infrastructure construction and preparation. Cork does have its tourist attractions, such as St. Finbarr's cathedral, the double-decker bus tour, the English market with its bounty of breads, cheeses, meats and fish, the Crawford art gallery and Cork Gaol, but the reason to linger in town is to make the most of the popular culture and interactions with the locals. Their warmth and self-deprecating humor, their interest in your views on Ireland and the Irish experience, all make for an extraordinary travel experience.
The Cork pubs continue to be the forum for communal banter. The Irish don't entertain at home too much, and when they want 'a bit of a chat' they go down to their local for a pint or maybe just a cup of tea. With the non-smoking law in effect in public places, going to a restaurant or pub has become an even more pleasant experience for those who like their air clear. In the Cork environs, some favorites include Barry's Pub in Douglas, the Overdraft in Carrigaline, and Cronins in CrossHaven. An Cruiscin Lan in Douglas is a popular music spot. It is not difficult to try a different music venue every night and for most visitors, this is the highlight of a trip to Ireland.
And certainly, there are endless opportunities to hear a tall tale or satisfy an insatiable interest in how the Irish are viewed in the world at large. "I'm troubled. I'm dissatisfied. I'm Irish," says Marianne Moore in Spenser's Ireland. This translates into a talkative and opinionated nation of people who talk readily and constantly about everything, especially politics and what the Irish have contributed to the world. It might not be the beginning of a lifelong friendship but it will undoubtedly provide that bit of 'craic' or fun that you will remember long after the historical sights and facts are a blur.
The sights of Ireland are centered on its natural beauty, its turbulent history with England, and its mythology. All three provide insights into how Ireland has developed as a country. Cromwell's excesses in destroying many of the historic sites of Ireland means that much of what you see has been either left ruined or has been restored. Ruined abbeys and castles leave much to the imagination, but the saving grace can be the docent who uses stories and folklore to take you back to Ireland's historic past. The Heritage Card allows a family to visit most of the historic sites for one year and is well worth the investment if you are in the country for at least a week.
The most well known site in Cork, the Blarney Stone at Blarney castle, is privately owned, expensive and truly not worth a visit. The lack of any interpretive signage at the Castle makes it difficult to understand the history or stories behind the castle, and there are no guided tours. The only reason to visit is to cross it off your checklist. More interesting are the local heritage sites with well-informed docents, such as Barryscourt Castle on the outskirts of Cork City, where the adjacent restaurant also serves wonderful weekend lunches. For history buffs, the nearby town of Cobh offers the Queenstown story, an exhibit detailing the story of Irish emigration to other parts of the globe.

Not quite a two-parter.
By that I mean, what began as one big honkin' post quickly evolved into two. When the intro/set-up — how I came to the stuff I'll talk about in the forthcoming not-quite-Part 2 — started to outgrow itself, when it became a separate yet valid topic for discussion, I made the executive decision to double up.
It's what I get for pantsing my posts.
The good news is, twice the juice for you. And, I'm already done with the mid-week article.
Love it when a plan comes together. Even when it's the result of one falling apart.
One of the best ways to skip a rung or two on the storytelling learning curve is to rent DVDs. Lots of DVDs.
This is just as true – if not more so – if you're a novelist rather than a screenwriter. Other than the printed page itself, the core principles of those two avocations are close enough to make them more than literary cousins, more like twins separated at birth.
I've already written here about the value of deconstructing stories. Dissecting the scenes and story-beats and then fitting them back together.
Sort of a literary C.S.I. thing. Find out why and how the story worked… or why it croaked. It works equally well for DVDs and novels, with hardly any difference other than the time required.
But there's another avenue of writerly growth available on most of those DVDs, and it's right there on the Main Menu.
Hit the Features or Extras button after you've seen the movie.
Go ahead. Click it. What you find there can make you a better writer.
Chances are this is where you'll find interviews with the actors, the director and producers, and the screenwriter. Easy to skip this stuff… but don't. Hearing what those people have to say can be just as illuminating as watching the story itself.
Because they just might tell you how they did what they did, and why.
You can eat a great gourmet meal anytime, but you can't cook one up yourself until you hear the chef talk about how it was done.
I just finished with the DVD of the screen version of Cormac McCarthy's The Road, starring Viggo Mortensen (highly recommended, though dark and very character-driven and thematically-intense, even within an astoundlingly high concept), and the way the cast and crew discuss storytelling is just such a revelation.
I'd also just done this after watching the entire first season of HBO's Hung, and while markedly different in tone and structure (Hung being a 10-part serial versus a two hour film), I was stricken by the literary similarities.
In particular, I noticed one specific way of thinking about your story before you write it… as you write it… as you rewrite it… and as you pitch it, either to an agent or publisher or producer, to the intended audience.
The way a world class chef thinks about the ingredients before even entering the kitchen.
It's the thing that keeps the narrative on task, rather than wandering around a character-driven dramatic landscape with a scarcity of tension.
And it's as ridiculously simple, even obvious, as it is powerful.
And yet, I'm willing to bet you've never boiled your story down to this level. I know I hadn't.
What it boils down to this:
What dramatic questions are you asking in your story?
Boiling your story down to a few simple – key word there: simple – questions allows you to wade through the self-induced quagmire of side-trips, sub-plots, setting-up, paying off, pacing, character arc and resolution…
… all of which are already clarified through a keen grasp of story structure and the six core competencies of successful storytelling that prop it up.
It's the essence of knowing your story, which is nonnegotiable when it comes down to finally writing it well.
Next up: the not-quite Part 2 of this not-quite two-part post.

"Make you say unh…no limit…got that Master P…no limit, baby…give you that black card…no limit…just know when you roll with somebody like me…no limit, baby…"
Usher released the visual for his hit song No Limit featuring Young Thug via Tidal a few days ago & now has released it via Vevo meaning everyone can now view it. The song pays homage to Master P & No Limit, while making sure the ladies know that to be with Usher means to have no limits. Of course, Usher is coming with the choreography. Shout out to Lil Dee Dee who we see doing his thing in the video. This summer bop gets a stylish visual to go along with it's infectious hook. He sings, "You know you fine…baby you know that you fine…I'm just tryna make you mine…I'll make you mine, yeah I'm tryna make you mine…put a tingle in yo spine…".
Check out the visuals for No Limit below:

Discussion in 'UPS Discussions' started by kingOFchester, Feb 9, 2016.
nough said
Interesting article. I saw an Amazon delivery van almost drive head on into a minivan full of kids a couple days ago. Wonder if they will hire the same type of pilots and feeder drivers as their package van guys.
I do fear this company. No joke.
I have seen drivers in my center do crazy driving like this. We are a bonus center.
Me too lol. I am serious, their vans are full in my neck of the country. Scary stuff.
Here's how ups and fedex defeat this:
Amazon: "we are starting a global supply chain"
Ups and Fedex: " ok. Your rates are now full retail regardless of volume. No more special pick ups, feeders or commit times or planes and ARS services and call tags are no longer a priority . This will be going in to effect on your next shipping contract.
Amazon:"_______ ummm there goes our thin profit margins and customers because we can't get the USPS (who owns no planes) or local region carriers to handle our volume. We can't deliver it yet because we outsource all our delivery operations.
Game over. It's coming.
Ups is already planning to walk away from Amazon in less than 5 years. Fedex is rumored to want to drop them sooner. Apparently Fred Smith doesn't like bigger scumbags then him.
ooo... I've got a sales lead!!
The USPS doesn't need planes, FedEx carries it all. So FedEx would still get that business, just in a different way.
Not to mention the DOJ would probably investigate us for Anti Trust violations.
People far above me are paid quite well to worry about this.
Don't think for a minute that fedex won't limit that volume though.
I don't think telling Amazon that we aren't going to take their volume anymore or if we do, we will charge more, warrants Antitrust violations. We aren't obligated to take their business at break even or a loss. I think UPS needs to push back on them because Amazon seems to be able to go out into the media and say whatever they want regarding our business.
It's time to "phase " them out either by charging more or just walking away over time. I'm sure there is a strategy in place. A 100 year plus company isn't going to go down without a fight.
Also isn't it great to see another Amazon thread????
I'm willing to bet there is a clause in the contract saying they have to take a certain amount of volume. Plus, if they're flying planes half empty, and can make money on filling it with USPS volume, they're going to.
It's not antitrust if we just say bugger off. It's if we AND FedEx do. It looks fishy at first. I'm not saying we'd get fined. But I wouldn't doubt there'd be an investigation.
Not really, these threads should have been moved to the competitor section:
I could see a price increase which everyone else has to pay being put in place for Amazon as well.
After all, why should they be exempt from price increases?
Being in Montana, I am not worried about amazon at all. Amazon would have to utilize ups or fedex to get their stuff delivered in a state like ours
Yes, the same people that are forcing Orion regardless if we can beat the miles. The same company that is so short sighted that they cut trips and have failed service to meet todays numbers vs tomorrows growth or even retention of customers. The same company that pushes so much volume thru Preload that packages are getting damaged. I could go on.
I am not counting on those far above us, they haven't a clue of what is going on at the center level.
I love how most of us have no faith in the powers above, until we talk about Amazon.
Is ups to big to fail? Kodak, the inventor of the digital camera was once considered to big to fail.
Is Amazon going to be a competitor?
Amazon is looking to cut cost and increase profitability. Amazon won't be hauling Overstock, Wayfair, ebay, Best Buy, or any of their competition. That is unless they buy them like they did Zappos.
There is no way Amazons competition would support an Amazon Delivery service to help their competition be more profitable.
Now the down side. There are a lot of small businesses that fulfill orders for Amazon outside of the Amazon DC's. I'm sure those businesses would use an Amazon Delivery service or an approved carrier to take advantage of competitive rates.
Bottom line is I'd be concerned about lost revenue. Lost volume of this size would lead to lay offs at UPS. The company would find a way to adjust and maintain by sacrificing payroll.
Very well stated. We have seen concessions in contracts already, just the beginning. More competition, more concessions to stay competitive.
Does anyone know when Amazons contract runs out?
I don't think anyone believes ups is too big to fail but also we've been around over 100 years and logistics is not an easy infrastructure to build. If Amazon thinks they'll do it overnight like they try everything else, well they'll fail. They also are starting to spread themselves way too thin. They have major issues too. They are about to go through the "wal-mart" syndrome and that's not good. Don't think for a second that if we walked away from Amazon that would not hurt them either.

In the final fight with Ganon, wait for him to smack away your Master Sword outside the ring of fire. When you no longer have it, save your game and reset. Play your saved game again and without your sword and you will have a Deku Stick (warning, don't press B to swing the Deku Stick as the game will crash).
Go to Hyrule Field during the day and get on Epona (call her with your Ocarina if you need to). Then ride to Lon Lon Ranch and take up the obstacle course. Dismount Epona and play the Song Of Storms. Enjoy!
If you enter the Gerudo Horse Archery training after you've got the Gerudo member's card, ride down to the end of the course. There is a long fence in front of the bottles and the 3 large targets. Line Epona up with this so she's facing it long ways i.e. the thin end. From a moderate distance, ride up to it at full speed and Epona will jump onto the fence just like a cat. Magic! However although it is possible to get down, it took me a long time, so if you are going to do this save it first so you can restart.
Go to Lon Lon Ranch with Epona where the horses graze. There are two metal fences. Ride Epona slowly up to the larger gate so her head is just leaning over it. Dismount and watch her for a while. When she rears, her head will come down through the gate. You will evidently get more amusing effects if you put her head over one of the spikes coming out of the fence.
While riding Epona, try barrelling into a sign. You can play Zelda's Lullaby to have it reform in front of your eyes.
It seems like the only thing stopping you from using any weapon while you are on Epona is the fact that you have the Master Sword. Get rid of it using the Swordless Link trick above, and saddle up Epona. There are many different tricks you can pull while on her, here are a few.
This trick must be performed before you attempt any Hyrule Castle Bank tricks.
In the Hyrule Castle Grounds, where all the guards are, go to the sign that says 'Dead End' in orange writing (near the entrance to the Fairy Fountain, or a big boulder if you haven't blown it up yet). There is, to your left, a thin corner where the two polygons of the bank walls meet. Take a look at what the polygons look like from the side, as when you look at them dead on you can't tell there's much of a corner there. Now, walk very slowly up the meeting place of the two polygons (it will take a lot of time to get your technique right). This is really quite annoying when you get half way and then fall. However, practise makes perfect (and a little luck doesn't hurt, either). After quite some time, you will possibly succeed in this task and end up on the grassy bank. There are a few things to do here:
If, after all your hard work, you feel like it, you can jump right off the edge and fall for absolutely ages. If your descent is taking too long, press B to do a sword jump attack to fall faster.
This isn't easy either, but try and follow the edge of the ridge (next to where you can jump off) until you get to the end of the ridge. Face the castle, and jump towards it as far as you can. If done correctly, you will be swimming in invisible water. You can swim back up and there's the possibility you'll die, but you can swim around the inside of the castle. To get out, you can swim into the moat (and get a secret blue rupee).
This, unlike most other glitches and tricks, is really helpful. If you have an unneeded item like the receipt for Biggoron's Sword, then go out with a bottle and swipe to catch something. Before you actually get it, press start and swap the bottle with the other item. This will replace the item with a new bottle, which is fully functional. Make sure you will never need the replaced item again because once you have swapped it, it's gone forever.
If you are desperate to get your hands on the Ocarina Of Time, but you are stuck with the Kokiri Ocarina, then here's what to do. Do the above bottle trick, and have the Kokiri Ocarina the item that you replace it with. Now, go and learn any song, and you will get the Ocarina back. However, the ocarina you get is actually the Ocarina Of Time!
I bet you think those handy bottles of yours are made of glass, eh? Well this is clearly wrong! When you fight Ganondorf, instead of swinging your sword to knock his energy balls back, try using your bottle. It's actually better than using your sword as Link's swing is faster.
You can get over the fence behind the windmill in Kakariko village. All you do is use the Longshot to get to the blue roof, then look for a small piece of wood in the lower of two openings in the windmill. Use your Longshot on it, then walk up the stairs to the Cucco in the second opening, grab it, and run out the door with the hover boots. It is important to run straight out and turn around rather than running around the corner, that way when you turn around you don't hit the corner. Fly toward the section of fence without forest behind it and just before you fall, press B to sword-jump over the fence. It may take several tries but it can be done. You can either walk off an edge and fall a long way then die, or walk straight back through the fence. Other than that, there's nothing else to do.
It takes a while to perfect, but in the fishing pond, pay for a rod and cast your line at the Fisherman. If you get his hat, you can be fined (50 rupees) for trying to leave with it. After doing this, check the rules board and there'll be a new rule aimed squarely at you…
In Hyrule there are a couple of places to receive secret rupees. The first is by jumping across the three islands in Kokiri Forest in order without falling off for 5 rupees (every little helps to get that Deku Shield!). You can do this once in both directions. If you run up the chains of the gate to the Castle Market and jump off towards the bridge you'll be rewarded with a red rupee. If you wait for nightfall while on the chains of the bridge, you can run across the top and you'll be given even more rupees. Also, swimming the length of the Hyrule Castle moat can result in rupees, too.
If you scour every single inch of the fishing pool, especially in the grass around the edge and the crack with the stream, you can find the sinking lure. It is illegal, but the Fisherman won't know if you use it. Now all you have to do is go fishing and you will find that the fish you catch are bigger. After a while, if you are lucky, you will catch the Hylian Loach, the biggest fish in the game.
Whenever you see a circle of stones, stand in the middle and either plant a bomb there or play the Song of Storms. If one doesn't work then try the other. More often than not, a hole will appear leading you to a secret room.
To get paid 150 rupees, catch some bugs. Go to the person in Hyrule Castle Town Market or Kakariko Village, depending on whether you are Child or Adult Link respectively, who wants you to sell him something using 'C'. Drop the bugs and catch one of them again. Go to the man and sell him the bug, and you'll get paid 50 rupees. Repeat this with the remaining two bugs to get another 100 rupees.
As a child, speak to the guard at the gates of Kakariko Village (the gates at the bottom of Death Mountain) after showing him Zelda's Letter. Do this before you have bought the Hylian Shield in the Bazaar and you will get a discount when you finally buy it.
If you go to Dampe's Graveyard, pull open the grave with a row of flowers in front of it. There will be a small underground room with a chest which contains a Hylian Shield. Also, if you bomb the wall at the end of the room, it will lead to a fairy room so you can catch some more fairies.
Slash a sign to pieces, and then play Zelda's Lullaby. While it is rebuilding itself slash the bottom of it off. If you have done it right the top of the sign should just be in the air, floating by itself.
As a kid, equip your Kokiri shield, and hold it out with R. Still holding R, press start and equip the Hylian shield. With any luck, you should now have two shields out, which protects your back and your front.
While some masks are utterly useless, the Mask Of Truth can let you talk to Gossip Stones, the Bunny Hood keeps Stalchilds away and the Skull Mask keeps Keese away.
Warp to Sacred Forest Meadow. Run down the steps to the Moblin, keeping out of the way of his mallet. Now, just before he swings, get under his mallet, pause and change into your hover boots. Stand still and wait for him to hit you away. At first it looks like standard stuff but you'll find you don't stop and you end up under the tree branch you just warped to.
If you have ever played Adventure Of Link, you may have noticed that the towns are all named after sages. In real life the sages must have been named after the towns, but it fits into the overall story nicely, which is a small departure for the Zelda series.
All over Link's tree there are little pictures that he must have etched into the bark. I'd love to know how he did it without his sword. Maybe he used his sizable Hylian ears.
If you leave some bugs and/or fish on the pedestal before you take the Master Sword out, when you arrive in the future you'll see that they have came with you. I didn't know fish could do that sort of thing.
There are three enemies in the game which have bigger brothers. At night in Hyrule Field, kill off a few waves of Stalchilds, and a big one will come. Destroy a few more waves and a really massive one will appear. Giant Leevers come out at night outside the Spirit Temple if you have killed enough younger ones. Your reward? A giant rupee. You know when you have played too much Zelda when, in Lake Hylia, you can pick off Guays from a distance. If you are really good, a huge one comes that'll take a few shots to bring down.
Well, if you didn't know, the sky in Hyrule is actually made of polygons. Because of the N64's limited power, you can, if you look carefully enough, see the seams between the polygons that make it up. Kinda spoils the illusion though, I loved to see the sunrise and sunset…
Well, there is no such contest, but if you have captured a Poe, it is possible to eat by drinking it like you would a potion. Unfortunately, though perhaps predictably, doing so will knock off a few hearts. Fun to drink ghosts all the same.
The song in this case would be the Scarecrow's Song. At the 'The End' screen, wait a little while and soon your Scarecrow Song, if you had one, will be played in 5 different instruments. If you didn't get the Scarecrow's Song, then…
On the shore of Lake Hylia (as Young Link), find two scarecrows in a patch of soil. Talk to them both and one of them will want to hear you play a song. Play a song that you are going to remember, and then as Adult Link go back and talk to him. Now, whenever Navi goes green and flies off to what looks like empty space, play the Scarecrow's Song and the scarecrow will pop up. To get to where he is, Hookshot over to him.
In Gerudo's Fortress you can see skulls hanging off the walls. To get items from them shoot them with your bow.
Well, okay, so you can't actually climb chests, but if you clear a room full of baddies and a chest appears, try to stand where it might materialize as Link ends up on top of it.
Yes, it worked in every other Zelda game and it works in this one too. If you attack a chicken over and over again, A swarm of cuccos will attack you. They only stop if you leave the area, or into a building. In Lon Lon Ranch, you can avoid the attack by sitting on Epona. It also looks quite good as they try and attack you.
If the chickens weren't bad enough, you can similarly take your anger out on Epona by firing arrows at her. She neighs in discomfort, but then I suppose you would if you had just had an arrow shot through you.
Apparently in Hyrule they have other ways of milking cows. Unlike here on Earth, where they pull at the cows udders, all Hyrulians have to do is play them Epona's Song! As a result, take an empty bottle to a cow and play it Epona's Song to get free milk!
To get fairies easily, go to a beansprout as child Link and play the Song Of Storms. It will grow into the air and release 3 fairies. As an added bonus, if you are standing on the sprout as you play the song, the plant grows though you. Nice.
When you are fighting Ganondorf, after hitting him with the Light Arrow, do the quick spin attack repeatedly to prevent him from getting back up! Although it should be noted that spin attacks aren't as easy to pull off as in later 3D Zeldas, so you might need a bit of practice.
Yes, it seems the Royal Family are keen Mario players. In the castle courtyard where you meet Zelda for the first time, have a gander through the windows and you should spot a few paintings that you might recognize. There have been many instances where they appear in each other's games. Speaking of which…
If you look around Malon's neck, then you'll see a broach in the image of Bowser, Mario's nemesis.
In Hyrule Castle Town Market there is a treasure game. To always win, use the Lens Of Truth to see what is in each chest. I, shamefully, didn't pick this up until hours of trial and error.
A butterfly's life is absolutely amazing, how it can morph from one being into another. Well, if you touch one with a Deku Stick then it changes into a fairy.
If you are intent on making your own tunes, remember that if the A or C buttons don't give the desired note, you can change them by using the control stick and the Z and R buttons.
You can collect as many Golden Skultullas as you like with this handy trick. Find a grotto in the ground with a Skultulla inside. Kill it and send a boomerang at the token left behind. After the boomerang has picked up the token, but before it gets back to you, backflip onto the portal back to the surface. You'll be credited with the token, but Skultulla will still be down there. Repeat this process to get the 100 needed.
To get the Castle Grounds Man annoyed with you, fire your slingshot through the castle window with the potted plant inside. If you are a good shot and you break it, the groundsman will come out and throw a bomb at you and start yelling.
This is a tip for when you're fighting Ganon (not Ganondorf). As you know if you've fought him before, you have to hit his tail to do damage to him. To get to his tail though you usually have to stun him, but faster is to simply roll through his legs and take a swipe at his tail.
If you've tried Talon's "Find The Special Cuccos!" mini-game as Kid Link, you know it's a bit of a stumper. Well, to help you out, here's a tip: Before talking to Talon, chuck all of the Cuccos in the room in the tight space between the table and the stairs. Then, talk to Talon. He'll spread the Special Cuccos around and they'll be almost too easy to catch.
To get a Deku Stick as strong as the Kokiri Sword (and just as un-breakable), equip your Deku Sticks to a C-Button and pull one out. Then, jump off a cliff (or something similar) and break the stick on the way down. The remainder of it will work as your very own bludgeoning club, to use as you see fit.
Note: If you leave an area, go underwater or switch items, the club will disappear, and you'll have to repeat the trick to get it back.

There aren't a whole lot of downsides to installing an attic fan. They reduce heat build-up in your attic, which can get up to 150 degrees in the summer. That kind of heat can ruin what you have stored in your attic, not to mention the hit your energy bills will take. This also reduces the life of your roofing materials. Controlling the heat at the top of your home and allowing for proper ventilation will be a great asset to your home.
The cost to install an attic fan isn't too high, with the average cost running $545 including the fan and labor. Depending on the quality of the fan you choose, location, and add-ons, it can cost as little as $200, or as much as $1,200.
Location of the FanYou can either install your attic fan on the roof or on a galley wall. The cost to install an attic fan on the roof might be slightly higher since it means cutting a hole in the roof, and then installing shingle above and around the plastic or sheet metal bases that serve as the flashing. The cost to install an attic fan into a wall depends on if you're choosing to install it in place of an existing vent. This might be a cost-effective option since you'll probably only need to widen that opening to fit the fan. If you need to cut a hole into the wall, then it might be slightly more expensive.
Materials for InstallationThe fan you choose will also impact the cost to install an attic fan. There is a range of models for both roof and wall installation. You'll also need caulk, plywood for where the fan will be installed and a few electrical items. None of this should break the bank, but it's something to consider as part of the cost to install an attic fan.
Humidistat for AtticSome models come with a humidistat, which will help to control excess attic humidity. This can be a problem in colder months, and can cause mold, mildew, peeling paint, decaying shingles, and warped beams and floorboards. Most fans are equipped with a thermostat, which controls when the fan turns itself on.
Attic ConditionsThe condition of your attic will also contribute to the cost to install an attic fan. If it's difficult to get to an area for installation, then it might increase the price. It's smart to clear some space if you have things stored up there. If moisture has wreaked havoc on the floorboards, then it might be dangerous to walk around in your attic. This would mean your professional will have to be careful, which could potentially make the project take longer and be more expensive.
Overall, installing an attic fan is beneficial for ventilation and will lower your energy bills. The cost to install an attic fan will be mostly determined by the current state of your attic and where you decide to install the fan. Make sure to talk to at least three professionals to find someone you trust and who understands the needs of your space. They'll be able to help you decide the best route for installation.

BrightSource ices 500MW Hidden Hills
BrightSource Energy has iced plans for its 500MW Hidden Hills power-tower project in eastern California, in another sign of the headwinds facing the concentrating solar power (CSP) sector.
BrightSource, which counts Alstom among its key backers, cited challenges in meeting the delivery schedule and the lack of clarity on needed transmission upgrades as the reasons behind its decision.
The utility Pacific Gas & Edison simultaneously binned its plan to buy power from Hidden Hills, which was slated for completion in 2015.
Coming less than three months after BrightSource quietly suspended plans for its 500MW Rio Mesa project in California, the shelving of Hidden Hills further suggests a reining-in of the company's mid-term ambitions amid lingering questions about the future commercial viability of CSP.
Last year BrightSource pulled its planned initial public offering, facing a bleak macroeconomic picture and a specific lack of appetite for clean-tech companies in the public markets.
As with Rio Mesa, BrightSource insists it may one day revive the Hidden Hills project. The project faced an uncertain ruling later this year from the California Energy Commission, which had gone on record as saying that PV panels represented an "environmentally superior" technology choice for the site – a view BrightSource disputes.
In the immediate term, the decision allows BrightSource to focus on its nearly-finished 377MW Ivanpah project, and then shift its attention to the 500MW Palen project – for which Abengoa was recently brought on as engineering, procurement and construction contractor.
BrightSource is also developing a 121MW CSP plant in Israel, due on line by 2017.
Still, the icing of Hidden Hills and Rio Mesa significantly limits the scope of the company's activities over the next half decade, and represents a blow to the global CSP sector at a time some experts view falling PV prices as an existential threat.
BrightSource remains one of the world's most important pure-play CSP specialists, and a key defender of the notion that the storage capability inherent to CSP will make it increasingly competitive with PV and other generation technologies in hot climates in the coming years. Ivanpah, being built by construction giant Bechtel, will not incorporate storage.
With the Spanish CSP market all but dead, and the near-term US market shrinking rapidly, emerging markets in places like the Middle East, North Africa and India appear the brightest hope for the CSP in the run-up to 2020.

September 02, 2015
Back to School
There is nothing wrong with showing signs of use, not for you and not for your tools. However, that moment when your mind is full of ideas and your heart full of willingness, when nothing has yet deterred you from your believes; that moment you can only get with new beginnings.
Which is why I am so much in love with the season of change; much like New Year, they bring the promise of great things. Every vow is still unbroken, every goal still as much within reach as our hopes. It's an exciting season and tomorrow it begins all over again. The summer holidays have come to an end, autumn knocks on the door and it's time to go back to school again.
I know full well that soon the enthusiasm will wear off. My biology teacher once told me, learning is like rowing against the current, and so is teaching. While you're in it, it is difficult to see the finishing line. You do stroke after stroke and can only hope that amongst all the drift backs and turnovers you will have made your way up water.
Right now, however, with my new pencil case filled, my notebooks blank and my pens sharpened, I can see clearly ahead of the river and I am excited about what's waiting for me.
So here is to sharpened pencils, un-shattered believes and new beginnings. Have a lovely start into the new season wherever you are and whatever it may bring.

North Sound (Antigua), July 22: Stating that it was a pleasure to watch Virat Kohli bat, opener Shikhar Dhawan is hoping the Indian captain scores a triple century on the 2nd day of the first Test against West Indies here today (July 22).
Match Scorecard; Day 1 Report; Series schedule
Thanks to Kohli's unbeaten 143, India posted 302/4 in 90 overs on the first day yesterday (July 21) at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.
Having won the toss and opted to bat, India were off to a cautious start but things changed once Kohli arrived at the crease. His 197-ball 143 not out (16x4) and Dhawan's 84 made it India's day.
The 27-year-old Kohli brought up his 12th Test ton and first against the West Indies. On way to the three-figure mark he completed 3,000 runs in the format. He is the 19th Indian to reach the milestone.
Speaking to reporters after the end of day's play on Thursday, Dhawan praised Kohli's batting and wanted him to carry on to a triple hundred. Kohli's highest score in Tests is 169.
"After day one we are in a very good position. We are playing with 5 batsmen and looking at that we are in a very good position. We want to bat as long as possible so that the team will have the advantage and the opposition will get tired.
"Virat is set and is batting on 143. He will look to score a double or triple century. God willing, hope he scores a double and goes on to triple ton," Dhawan said.
Kohli and Dhawan had a 105-run partnership for the 3rd wicket. According to Dhawan, this was crucial since they scored at a good pace.
"(Cheteshwar) Pujara and I had a partnership (60 runs) which was very good because the ball was new at the time. It was important to leave the ball alone. Both of us did that. Virat and my partnership was beneficial to the team as we scored at good pace. Virat is batting so well for a long time and it is not new (to see him do it again)," the left-hander added.
Dhawan called Kohli's innings as "tremendous" and said he enjoyed the knock. "Of course he (Kohli) has played a tremendous innings. He has scored a century and continuing (143 not out). He has been scoring big runs and hopefully he will come back and score 150 and a double hundred. It feels good to bat with him. We were rotating the strike. It is always a pleasure to watch Virat play, the way he drives, times the ball is very nice," he said.
India and West Indies will play 4 Tests in the series. The second match will be played in Jamaica from July 30.

We are Moving
8th November
Dear Partners and Friends,
Over the last several years the Lord has been stirring our hearts for the youth in South Florida. South Florida is one of the most unreached areas in the United States. As God continued to stir our hearts we took it to prayer. We knew that if God was in it that He would open an opportunity for us to reach them.
As you all know we have lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma for the last six years and have had the opportunity to see many people come to the Lord throughout this region. Yet, we knew that our time in Tulsa was for a season. This summer a great church in Miami, Words of Life, called us and asked if we would be their lead student pastors. After many months of prayer we knew this opportunity was from … Read More »
3 Realities about Confidence
21st October
Judges 18:6 The priest said to them, "Go with confidence. The LORD will be with you on your mission." (NET)
1. Our confidence is rooted in the will of God. When you know that God is with you in your life and mission a feeling of excitement and confidence stirs in your heart. God is not a failure and when you align your life with Him you will cease to be a failure. Confidence can arise because you have His will on the matter. God's presence and power always follows His will.
Job 31:24 If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, [Thou art] my confidence; (KJV)
2. Our confidence should never be placed in money. Many of us 'say' this, but we live like money is our God. When money is coming in, we're happy and … Read More »
Killing a Critical Spirit
22nd September
I want you to succeed in life. I've learned you will never reach your full potential in God if you have a critical spirit. I used to have a really critical spirit. I would pre-judge people, criticize other ministers and thought I had all the answers. My critical spirit peaked in college and about that time God began to sharply deal with me. Now I walk in love, mercy and understanding. Let me give you 3 reasons to kill a critical spirit:
1) It is not love. God has commanded us to love our neighbor. I'm convinced many believers are not walking this out on a daily basis.
James 2:8 "You are doing right if you obey this law from the highest authority: "Love your neighbor as you love yourself." – (GWT)
2) You increase the judgement on your own life. The only … Read More »
Don't Count Yourself Out!
22nd September
Hello Partners and Friends,
Genesis 26:1-6; 12-14 – "Now there was a famine in the land—besides the earlier famine of Abraham's time—and Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines in Gerar. The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live. Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham. I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspringa all nations on earth will be blessed, because Abraham obeyed me and kept my requirements, my commands, my decrees and my laws." … Read More »
You Never Know
9th September
Hello Partners & Friends
Recently Phillip, one of our 'Dudes on Skunks', came back from a missions trip to Nigeria. While he was at the airport a Nigerian man, who was loading his luggage, stopped him and said, "Hey aren't you on that show Skunks TV?" Phillip was surprised that the man recognized him and said "yeah I am." When Phillip relayed the story to me I was reminded again, we never know who is watching.
Also this past month a lady came up to me and told me her 60 year-old brother watches us all the time. He's been away from God for years and he has recently come back. She said that Skunks TV was one of the avenues that God used to open him back up to the gospel. Even though our show is aimed at a younger audience … Read More »

Nathaniel is eleven-years-old and a magician's apprentice, learning the traditional art of magic. All is well until he has a life-changing encounter with Simon Lovelace, a magician of unrivaled ruthlessness and ambition. When Lovelace brutally humiliates Nathaniel in public, Nathaniel decides to speed up his education, teaching himself spells far beyond his years. With revenge on his mind, he masters one of the toughest spells of all and summons Bartimaeus, a five-thousand-year-old djinni, to assist him. But summoning Bartimaeus and controlling him are two different things entirely, and when Nathaniel sends the djinni out to steal Lovelace's greatest treasure, the Amulet of Samarkand, he finds himself caught up in a whirlwind of magical espionage, murder and rebellion.
Set in a modern-day London spiced with magicians and mystery, The Amulet of Samarkand is an extraordinary, edge-of-your-seat thriller with many unexpected twists. Following Bartimaeus and Nathaniel in turn, the story introduces us to two wonderfully memorable characters destined to go through many adventures together and bound by a spell that is nearly impossible to break.

Around these parts, we like to learn about and from people who are running their own businesses – business we love and admire, and the ladies who are running shit behind the scenes. In this edition of mind your business, we talk to Agnes Barton-Sabo a.k.a Betty Turbo, an artist and entrepreneur who makes some of the funniest, coolest cards and illustrations ever- my favourites are her throwback wrestling cards, of course. We take a peek into Agnes' brain in an attempt to find out where she gets her great ideas, and what she loves best about being her own boss.
milieu: Tell us about your background, professionally and academically, and why you decided to go into business for yourself.
Agnes: I am the collaborative product of two artists, so art has always been in my blood and in my environment! Drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, sewing, and general creative goofiness all featured regularly in my home growing up. As my father was an art professor I also had free access to all kinds of university art classses. I majored in photography in college but was already leaning a lot more towards illustration by the time I graduated. I worked at Hatch Show Print (America's oldest continuously operating letterpress shop) for a few years, producing custom show posters and wedding invitations, during which time I opened my Etsy shop to sell cards and art prints I was making in my spare time. I toyed with different types of products in my shop throughout a couple years working as a cake decorator as well. I'd always hoped/planned to make art my full-time focus, and the opportunity to actually do so came about during a weird transition phase in my life. Following relocation and general life upheaval, I threw all my energy into artmaking just to maintain my own sanity, while somewhat halfheartedly looking for a new "day job." Art business quickly picked up steam and day jobs were nowhere to be found! Four years later I feel outrageously lucky to still be crafting my own art life and have no plans to let up on this hustle.
m: When you decided to start your own company, what steps did you take?
A: When I was still slowly growing my shop in hopes of taking the plunge, I tried some small business development seminars and found them terribly outdated and extremely sexist. The biggest help to figuring things out has been connecting with other artists and creative businessfolk and gathering the bits that make sense for what I'm doing. I love keeping tabs on the creative endeavors of former classmates and coworkers and trading notes on what we've learned. I've also found social media really valuable for seeking out just the kind of specialized advice & pep talks that work for me. For example, I am a fan of business strategist Tara Gentile , master wordmistress Alexandra Franzen, and Freelancer's Union.
m: How would you describe your artistic style, and where do you get your inspiration?
A: My style is bright, fun and enthusiastic! Punchy colors, a sense of humor, and sincerity + lots of exclamation points carry through regardless of the subject matter. And speaking of subject matter, where don't I find inspiration? Whether functioning on goofy, superficial levels, or delving into meatier topics, I am inspired all day long and in no danger of being remotely bored or uninspired in this lifetime. When I need a boost there's always outer space, ice cream, and the wonderful humans I know to think about.
m: Cool, quirky, and handmade cards are pretty hot right now – how do you differentiate yourself?
A: I consider the wide spectrum of offerings available a permission slip to be as weird as I please and trust that the ideas I chuckle about alone in my studio will find their own perfect specific audience. I focus on trying to grow and evolve as an artist, and producing well-crafted items that really resonate with the feelings and experiences I want to create in the world. Through sharing my process and my everyday life, selectively but honestly, I feel like I am able to create meaningful relationships with fans of my work that go beyond basic buyer vs. seller transactions.
m: How did you get the word out about your business once you were up and running? How have you been able to grow your business?
A: Etsy functioned much differently in its earlier days, and a lot of the initial growth and interest in my shop developed within that community itself. Beyond that little bubble, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and my blog have been very helpful. I connect in real life with potential customers through craft shows, conventions, gallery shows, and wholesaling my products to shops worldwide.
m: What is the most rewarding part of running your own business?
A: I LOVE being my own boss and having the opportunity to change and refine my "workday" (week/month/year!) as I go. I feel so grateful to experience this radness!
m: What is the most challenging part?
A: On the days it's not going well, it can feel crushing to be "working" on something so personal and intertwined with the rest of my life. It takes deliberate effort to separate myself from a business problem/failure and not take it too personally. It feels overwhelming and gnarly sometimes.
m: Do you have any advice for women who are looking to start a similar business?
A: Think about what you REALLY want your workday to consist of, what you'd like your environment to look like, priorities you have in your personal life, and so on, and how that might all function together. Don't assume you necessarily have to make certain sacrifices or change your personality or life to fit into a pre-existing mold. I feel like business is changing so much that there a are a lot of opportunities to create things in a fashion that really suits you, but it might be an unpaved road, so you have to clarify those priorities for your self and work hard on crafting that lifestyle. Don't count too much on other people's success stories for creating your own!
m: Any plans for expansion? Where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?
A: Right now I still produce most things myself in my studio, and I'd like to shift more to printing paper goods in bulk and licensing images elsewhere, so I can focus more on making new things! I'd love to work on more large-scale projects, like murals, art installations, and book ideas. I predict I'll still be up to a variety of art shenanigans in 5-10 years, but with more teaching and more traveling involved!

A classmate of my Daughter bought an extended warranty for her MacBook Pro and the display died.Tryed to get it repaired under warranty but they refused to even look at.Tech was very rude she asked to speak to a manager he said no.They wanted 900$ to replace it ,she went to Apple and got it done for 600$.This is why after they took over future shop in chilliwack I have never spent a dime there and never will.
01-24-2017 01:02 AM - edited 01-24-2017 01:09 AM
From what my Daughter told me she used it one day and the next when she went to use it had pink blotches in the screen then later it stopped working altogether.There was no physical damage.Also how is Bestbuy 50% more to replace the screen.I got a gift this year this which was purchased with a debit card and I returned it.Girl behind the counter said I could only get a store credit that she couldn't even do it on the cash register.I demanded to talk to manager and Voila you could do it on the cash register and got the cash back.Like I said will never spend a dime in this store place is an absolute joke.
I'm only relaying what I was told she was sure that it wasn't damaged but it was the way she was treated that got me so upset.The way the sales associate basically bullied her would not let her talk to a manager.As far as the cost of the replacement I could buy the complete assembly online for app 325$,The video I watched on replacing it said it was an hour tops to replace it for a novice.Ive replaced 2 white MacBook screens not that difficult.Like I said I will never spend a dime in your store again.
