On April 22, we will have the 44th anniversary of Earth Day. This was started by people as a way to call attention to environmental pollution the country was then experiencing.
So in the past 44 years, how have we done as a nation? As a former EPA administrator has said, "All of our rivers and lakes may not be fishable and swimmable, but they are no longer flammable."
There are no excuses for the continued rampage on the Fort Hood Army Base.
Officials make feeble explanations as to why a soldier breaks down from the stresses of war.
The reason is in Washington. We still have a bunch of old war hawks and a military industrial complex who love to send others into battles to enrich their own bank accounts.
Our generals should be engaged in battle plans not the bedrooms of female admirers.
Young children in Lancaster County deserve the best that we can give them.
The Week of the Young Child, April 6-12, is a time to recognize the needs of young children, and thank the adults involved in their education and care.
Parents, teachers, caregivers and other adults play important roles in the lives of young children, and the Week of the Young Child celebrates their efforts.
This is a response to S.C. Comptroller General Richard Eckstrom's opinion article, "Advice for White House: Promise less, deliver more," in the April 4 edition of The Lancaster News.
Are you one of those bureaucrats who promotes less government? You complain in your article, but offer no solutions. You and your governor turn down federal school money and Medicaid expansion.
Editor's note: Following is a copy of letter Lancaster resident Thaddeus Sexton Jr. sent to S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley.
Dear Gov. Haley,
Rowell Road in Lancaster County is only 2.3 miles long. There are about 40 houses on the road and it is one of the major roads, which lead to Tabernacle United Methodist Church. I've included some pictures that were taken recently to show the condition of the road.
I share letter writer Pete Melton's concern about our roads. The problem is due to nature. Rain falls and water settles into small cracks in the road surface. The water freezes and expands and the small cracks become big holes.
And this cycle will occur over and over, as we have seen during this terrible winter. I don't blame our officials. I think they do what they can.
Bob Summer
I enjoyed Sunday's edition of The Lancaster News and the articles related to Main Street. Those two blocks of Lancaster County real estate still exists, although any resemblance to those days of yesteryear is purely coincidental.
One might say, we got a little too big for our britches. Old was out, new was in. Parking on Main Street was too much trouble. Small, family-owned businesses struggled. Family elders passed away and younger family members had other interests. Shoppers wanted convenience, everything under one roof, so to speak.
If you own a home in Lancaster County and are receiving the residential rate of 4 percent, please be aware that you do not qualify for your lower tax rates and exemptions if you rent or lease your home for more than 14 days.
Several days ago, The Observer printed an article on marijuana in North Carolina. If this is okayed, it will make 21 states that have made medical marijuana OK.
Who will govern who gets it and who doesn't?
Who will govern who grows it? Why is it that we fought 40 or 50 years to keep this stuff from crossing our border from Mexico?
The reason is that our leaders have mismanaged our tax money to the point that they are going to tax something that used to be illegal to try to ease the deficit they have created by wasteful spending.
I am a 64-year-old widow and during our recent snow and ice storm I was going to the store and was heading to the stoplight at Market Street.
A dark green Honda pulled in front of me and hit the brakes. So, naturally, I ran into the car. The car pulled off and left. My car was damaged and I was hurt very badly. I plead with the person who did this to have some respect and fix my car.

Working with leaders and policymakers in the U.S., Europe, and Middle East to help reach a just, secure, and comprehensive peace to bring an end to the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Developed by the S. Daniel Abraham Center in partnership with The Atlantic and SAYA/Design for Change, Is Peace Possible offers a seat at the negotiating table as you learn about the real obstacles to peace, and explore potential solutions.
Since 2003, the Center has commissioned polls from Israel's most respected pollsters to analyze the Israeli public's attitude towards a prospective two-state solution.
Even during times of crisis, the results demonstrate that a majority of Israelis support a comprehensive peace agreement with the Palestinians. When certain security parameters are met, support reaches into the 80th percentile.

Bow hunters after more than just whitetail deer
Exit teal season, enter archery deer season and you have what's happening for hunters in Texas. The icing on the dessert is that squirrel season, archery for Rio Grande turkey season, and javelina season mean there is no shortage of outdoor opportunities available.
As of this article, the early teal season has ended hereabouts. A number of folks have inquired as to the success of the hunters this year. With record numbers of the teal, both blue-wing and green-wing, predicted to come down, the hunting should have been super. Well, it was for most teal hunters. All that seemed to be necessary was water in areas normally frequented by the birds. What has also been noted has been the unusual numbers of pintails, gadwalls and shovelers that have shown up early. Both the naturally early migrating teal and the other species will continue to head further to the south long before they would be legal game hereabouts.
Archery has become one of the most rapidly growing shooting sports. What's really great about the bow and arrow enthusiasm is that there are many types of arrow or bolt projectors. Longbows, recurved bows, compound bows and crossbows are in the mix now for both hunting and target shooting. There is are some super offerings for the younger shooters. Archery deer and Rio Grande turkey hunting seasons begin on Oct. l. Add to that the javelina season that is opening for the archers
The teal season hereabouts was deemed great by many of the outfitters. Since the central zone dove season was also open, energetic hunters could hunt teal in the mornings and doves in the afternoon. The opening weekend of the teal season was great and then the bird hunts seemed to slow down. Soon after that, the light cool front blew in and the teal seemed to come with it. Although the primary targets are blue-wing teal since they are the early migrators, there are some greenwings here now. Shane Chesson with The Drake Plantation told me that on sme of their hunts, some of the limits were green-wings. That's certainly not the normal scheme of things. Chesson can be reached at (409) 284-8616.
There are good numbers of big ducks also migrating early and also good flights of the native mottled ducks around. Chesson reported that the pintails, gadwalls, and shovelers are here in ever increasing numbers. His big surprise has been the mega numbers of mottled ducks.
At one time not very long ago, the mottled ducks that we call black mallards became scarce. These native birds once one of the very often seen game on a water fowler's stringer. I am not sure whether the numbers dwindled because of the hunting pressure or the large number of predators, including alligators, that were in their nesting areas. The one thing that I know is that we are seeing good numbers of these native ducks this year. Be sure to learn the hunting restrictions on mottled ducks. In Texas, the mottled ducks are under the category of dusky ducks.
The Rio Grande turkey is found both south and west of our area. These birds are not as protected as are the Eastern wild turkeys that are in East Texas. In many of the Hill Country and south Texas counties, Rio Grandes can be seen in large numbers and their numbers seem to be fairly stable. The drought did hurt the nesting, but there are plenty birds remaining from the past season.
The Rios are by nature spooky birds, but they seem to be perpetually hungry birds. It is legal in Texas to bait Rio Grande turkeys. They will come to corn, peas or any other grain that domestic birds eat. Hunting over bait is not as challenging as is calling from concealment and getting a gobbler into shotgun range. Some counties will allow Rio Grande hens to be taken during the fall season due to large turkey populations. Be doubly sure to check the county regulations in the Texas Parks and Wildlife annual. You may also contact either your local TPWD office at (409) 892-8666 or call TPWD in Austin at (800) 792-1112.
The javelina is a grouchy little animal that looks like small swine with a bad personality. They are able to detect odors easily, but their sight is suspect. These animals are found in the more dessert types of terrain of South and West Texas. Should you decide to take a javelina, before picking it up beware of fleas. Sometimes they harbor many.
I cannot end this article without mentioning the great numbers of bull redfish that are present at the Sabine Jetty. There are speckled trout there also, but the redfish are as numerous as I've ever seen.

Need A Fence Installed In Middle Township New Jersey?
But, I've Never Even Heard Of Deptford Fence
Why should you choose Deptford fence when there's a ton of other companies that service Middle Township?

In under 4 years we have yearly sales volumes that are comparable to companies that have been in business for 15-30+ years. Not trying to brag, just trying to give you a feel for how many people trust us each year.
So how can you trust a company that you have never heard of and has only been around for 4 years? Click HERE For Our Reviews On Google

Can You Imagine…
Can you imagine that you called a fence company and they actually answered the phone?
Can you imagine that the company valued your call instead of treating you like an inconvenience?
Can you imagine that when you schedule an appointment that they actually show up?
Can you imagine that when the installers (not subs) show up they are neat, clean, and extremely friendly?
Can you imagine when the work is complete the owner comes back out to make sure you are completely happy.
Can you imagine if there was an issue the owner made sure it was corrected immediately without making excuses?
Can you imagine if there is an issue with the installation for the next 3 years that the company comes out without you having to call 4 times and waiting 4 months.
Now imagine when you called that company the person said: "Deptford Fence, how may I help you?"
Our Past Friends We Have Worked For
Great to work with Joe, professional and super responsive. I definitely can't say that about the other companies i got quotes from, or should i say tried to get a quote from.
Joe also offered pretty useful advice on what I should do and why. Also the quality of the work was great.
Joe recently installed a fence for us, and he was great to work with! We were pleased with how responsive he was from the start. He provided an estimate very quickly and was happy to come back out and discuss everything a second time before we decided to work with him. He was always on time and kept us updated on the status of the project. He's easy to get in contact with and has simply done everything he promised. After our fence was installed, our neighbor raised an issue with the fence placement we chose, and Joe has gone out of his way to do whatever he can to make both our neighbor and us happy.
On top of simply offering good service and being a nice guy, Joe's price was several hundred below any other estimate that I received, so going with Deptford Fence was really a no-brainer. The materials and installation look great. Just because Deptford Fence isn't one of the big local fence companies, it doesn't mean you're sacrificing anything on service, materials, or installation. We found that Joe provided the most friendly, personal service of any of the various companies from which we received estimates. I definitely recommend Deptford Fence!
I have used Joe for our fence and he was great. He is dependable, trustworthy and does excellent work.
I had him back yesterday for another job and he was on time, just as he said,and did a perfect job. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a fence without hesitation. Great quality work and reasonable prices! A+++++
Joe from Deptford Fence is simply the best in the business. He is honest, trustworthy, reliable and dependable! On two recent occasions (last June and just a few weeks ago), I suffered some severe damage to my wooden fence as a result of extremely strong winds. With just a simple phone call, Joe immediately came by my house to assess the situation and quickly provided me a quote to perform the work required. His quote was very explanatory, detailed and extremely competitive (in fact, lower than any of the other quotes I received). Once I approved, he immediately scheduled the work and personally came to do the work himself (he does not subcontract the work out). On both occasions, he did a wonderful job – and did a little extra that he felt was necessary, without charging me more than the original estimate.
Without reservation, I highly recommend Joe (and Deptford Fence) for all your fencing needs. You will not be disappointed!!!

SEATTLE, Wash. - UC Santa Barbara rallied back from 10 points down in the final minutes to tie Washington at 77-77, but the visiting Gauchos (5-3) ran out of gas and dropped an 87-80 decision to the Huskies (5-4) on Friday night at the Alaska Airlines Arena.
UCSB, which led by as many as six on several occasions, were behind by 77-67 when Terrence Ross made two free throws with 5:26 left in the game.
That's when the Gauchos used a lightning quick rally to pull even.
Orlando Johnson, who finished with 24 points and 10 rebounds, took a pass from Keegan Hornbuckle and made a three-pointer from the top of the key. Johnson then cut in front of a Washington pass for a steal, drove down the court and passed to T.J. Taylor who made three-pointer from the left side, cutting the deficit to 77-73 with 4:46 remaining.
On the next possession, the Huskies' Darnell Gant drove the baseline and tried to lay the ball up at the rim. Jaimé Serna partially blocked Gant's attempt and Taylor collected the rebound, but then Gant turned the tables, stealing a Gaucho pass and gong the other way. The frenzied play continued as Hornbuckle cut in front of another Washington pass and went the distance for a layup to pull Santa Barbara within 77-75 with 4:02 left.
UCSB's rally wasn't quite done. Serna rebounded a missed three-pointer by C.J. Wilcox and Johnson converted an acrobatic, one-handed jumper on the other end to tie the score at 77-77 with 3:30 to play. Johnson was fouled on the play, but after a media timeout, missed the free throw.
Washington took advantage of its opportunity. Gant made a short jumper in the lane and was fouled. He made the free throw to give his team an 80-77 edge with 2:46 on the clock. James Nunnally missed a floater in the lane for the Gauchos and then fouled Wilcox on the rebound. Wilcox made two free throws to stretch the lead to 82-77 with 2:26 left.
The teams traded misses for the next minute and a half, but with 44 seconds left, Abdul Gaddy was fouled by Johnson. Gaddy made one of two free throws and the lead was 83-77. A long three-pointer from above the key by Johnson carved the Washington lead in half, 83-80, with 37 seconds to play.
Following a timeout, Ross made a pair of free throws after he was intentionally fouled to push the lead to 85-80. Another UCSB miss led to another intentional foul and this time Gant converted two free throws with seven seconds to play for the final score of 87-80.
"We are getting close but not finishing these games out," Johnson said. "I thought we played well most of the night and that was a great stretch to tie the game. We just have to start closing things out."
Arguably the key to the game was turnovers. The Gauchos committed a season-high 17 turnovers while the Huskies had just seven, a low for an opponent this year.
"That number, 17 turnovers, is unusual for us," said UCSB head coach Bob Williams. "We've been good this year at handling pressure and making good decisions. Tonight, we didn't handle things as cleanly."
UCSB did have the rebounding edge. Entering the game, Washington was outrebounding its opponents by more than five per game, but the Gauchos had a 40-35 edge in that category. They also shot a solid 47.7%. The Huskies made 47.6% and both teams hit eight three-pointers.
Perhaps the most positive note of the night for Santa Barb
ara was the play of Hornbuckle. The sophomore from Westlake Village, Calif., recently returned after a long layoff. In his first two games, he looked rusty, but on Friday night in Seattle, he gave a glimpse of what he is capable of as he made 5-of-9 shots overall, including a three-pointer, while scoring 11 points in 17minutes. He also had two assists, two rebounds and two steals.
Nunnally gave the Gauchos a third player in double-figures with 10 points.
Washington was led by freshman guard Tony Wroten, a Seattle native. Wroten had 27 points and seven rebounds. Gaddy added 17 while Ross finished with 16.
With the loss, Williams remains tied with former coach Jerry Pimm for first on the all-time coaching wins list with 222. He will get another chance to eclipse the mark as UCSB will play the third game of its 12-day, four–game road trip on Monday, Dec. 19 when it travels to Berkeley for a 7:30 p.m. game against Cal. The game can be heard live on AM 1290 KZSB, the Santa Barbara News-Press radio station beginning with the pre-game shot at 7:00 p.m. It can also be heard online at UCSBgauchos.com.

CHINO – City Council members approved to continue using a local business to maintain local landscaping.
At Tuesday's council meeting an contract was awarded to CLS Landscape Management to perform landscape maintenance for medians and reservoir sites at an annual rate of $38,469.
On June 30 the city's contract for landscaping would expire.
Ten contractors were interested in providing the city with their services.
The top three lowest bids were brought forth to the City Council for consideration.
The Chino-based company wasn't actually the cheapest bid.
Villa Park's Tropical Plaza Nursery, Inc. was going to charge the city $34,868 annual, which is 10 percent less than CLS.
Instead of awarding the contract to the lowest-bidder Councilman Earl Elrod made a motion to keep the business local.
Council members unanimously agreed with Elrod.

Author, Author
One of the biggest days of my life is almost here! Next week I can finally say I'm an author. My first book "Defining Autism From The Heart" based on my life with autism comes out on Monday. As a kid I could never have imagined this happening. For years I truly struggled with reading, comprehension, and writing. In high school I was able to turn my academics around and this laid the foundation for where I am now. Improving my ability to communicate was essential, but there was also another event that was pivotal to me making this announcement today.
Six years ago, I won a $1,000 scholarship from the Autism Society of America (ASA) for college. I went to the annual ASA conference in Arizona that year to receive the scholarship. While there I realized how being a self-advocate could lead to the opportunity to make a difference for so many people with autism. The book idea came to me when I was walking around the exhibit hall. There had to be a few hundred books about autism. After skimming through a few I realized that none of the books were about attending college with autism.
Seeing that bothered me. Of all books in that hall THAT was a book I wished was there. That would have been the one book that would have made me believe I could be successful in college. It was then I decided to commit a part of my college journey writing about my experiences to help the future generation by writing. That was the beginning of my self-advocacy and my writing.
Even though the college book is still a few years away I'm happy how that experience impacted me. I've been able to start my own blog, write a column here at Autism After 16 for over a year and also write for many other sites like Thinking Person's Guide to Autism, Love That Max, The SF Gate, Autism Speaks and the Autism Society of America.
These experiences have shaped me and helped me improve my abilities to make a book possible. Now at 25 with this book complete, I'm already looking towards the future. While talking to an autism advocate a few months ago I mentioned that in a perfect world I'd like to contribute to 30 books by 30 years of age. A lofty expectation. I always seem to come back to that number now in my writing. I'd love to write that much if I had the content to back it up.
To get there I'm going back to what I learned in high school and through some of my strongest passions like basketball and theater. To get to the next level you have to be willing to push yourself towards your goals and be able to understand what's going on around you. This means reflecting and understanding what I need to improve on. As I continue to write I hope to take more writing courses to build my technique into writing better stories. I see much of the writing I do now as conversational and I'd like to improve on painting a picture to an audience through storytelling.
If all goes well I hope this one book in time will turn into several to help spread awareness for autism. The goal will always be to help individuals be educated on autism in our society. The biggest day in my life hopefully will be repeated in the days and years ahead!

3 G's Bobkha muffins
Adapted from 3 G's Gourmet Deli. The restaurant uses crumbs from chocolate cake for the filling. You can also use Newman's Own Chocolate Alphabet Cookies crushed into crumbs.
Yeast dough:
1 cup cake flour, plus more as needed
2 1 / 2 cups bread flour, plus more as needed
1 / 2 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm milk (105-115 degrees)
1 / 3 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar, divided
1 (1 / 4-ounce) package dry yeast
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 / 4 cup sour cream
5 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 / 2 teaspoon pure lemon extract
Chocolate and raisin filling:
1 large egg
1 tablespoon light cream
6 tablespoons chocolate syrup, such as Hershey's
1 / 2 cup seedless raisins
2 / 3 cup chocolate cookie or cake crumbs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 / 3 cup chocolate chips
Streusel topping:
1 / 2 cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 / 4 cup cold butter
Drizzle garnish:
¼ cup chocolate syrup, such as Hershey's
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
To make dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the cake and bread flours together. Transfer to a piece of wax paper. In the same bowl, stir together the milk and 2 teaspoons sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk mixture and let stand 5 minutes or until foamy.
Add about 1 / 2 cup flour mixture to the yeast mixture and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined.
Add the remaining 1 / 3 cup sugar, the egg, egg yolk, sour cream, butter, salt, vanilla and lemon extracts; beat until well combined. Add the remaining flour mixture in batches and beat well with a wooden spoon to combine after each addition.
Add more flour if necessary to make a dough that is soft but not sticky using a proportion of 1 part cake flour to 2 parts bread flour (for example, if you add 1 tablespoon additional flour, add 1 teaspoon cake flour and 2 teaspoons bread flour).
Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead about 4 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a well-oiled bowl turning to oil all sides, cover with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place 1 hour until doubled in bulk.
To make filling: Butter 12 (2 1 / 2-by-1 1 / 4-inch) muffin cups. Punch the dough down and divide in half, keeping one half covered. On a lightly floured surface, roll one piece of dough into a 12-by-8-inch rectangle.
Beat the egg with the light cream. Brush the surface with some of the egg mixture. Sprinkle half the remaining filling ingredients in the order given over the surface leaving about a 1 / 2-inch margin on both long sides.
Carefully but firmly and as lightly as possible, roll up the dough from the long side, jelly roll fashion, and pinch to seal well.
Cut crosswise with a sharp knife into 6 (2-inch-thick) slices and press each firmly into a prepared muffin cup. Repeat with the second half of the dough, some of the remaining egg mixture (reserve any leftover egg mixture) and all the remaining filling ingredients.
Cover the filled muffin cups with plastic wrap and allow to rise about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees; place rack in center of oven.
To make topping: Combine the flour, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut in the butter until mixture is crumbly.
Uncover and brush the tops of the muffins lightly with the reserved egg wash and divide the topping among them, pressing down slightly so it adheres to the top of each.
Bake in the center of the oven 20 to 22 minutes, or until firm to the touch and lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool 10 minutes.
Drizzle the top of each muffin with about 1 teaspoon chocolate syrup and sift the confectioners' sugar over all (about 1 / 2 teaspoon of sugar on each).
Makes 12 muffins.

Lara Pulver wowed Americans a year ago when, as Irene Adler in "Sherlock" on PBS, she walked into our living rooms wearing nothing but a pair of Louboutin heels and a don't-[bleep]-with-me attitude. The whip-cracking dominatrix Irene knew who she was and what she wanted. She was just fine with parading buck naked in front of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to get it.
Although we don't see that much of the 32-year-old British actress in Starz' "Da Vinci's Demons," her character is just as strong--if not as brazen. The Renaissance-era drama follows 25-year-old Leonardo da Vinci (Tom Riley) as he tries to uncover more about his mother and to unravel the mystery of the mythical "Book of Leaves." Along the way he paints, invents, drinks, fights, beds women and champions his home of Florence, Italy.
Pulver plays Clarice Orsini, the Roman-born wife of Lorenzo de Medici (Elliot Cowan), head of the Medici Bank and the de-facto leader of Florence. Despite her husband's philandering, Clarice loves Lorenzo. A woman far ahead of her time, she provides her husband with valuable counsel and will do pretty much anything to protect him, their children and her adopted city.
"She's very, very sure who she is," Pulver said recently from her new home in Los Angeles. "She's completely, 100 percent comfortable with the woman that she is, and that's what enables her to be such a wonderful ally and confidant to her husband. She has such a clear-thinking mind in the world of 'Da Vinci's Demons,' which is kind of clouded and fogged by so many geniuses and complex minds. There's a very strong clarity with who Clarice is."
With that description, Clarice sounds a lot like Irene Adler, but Pulver pointed out a big difference in the two strong women. Clarice, Pulver said, is not "manipulative or selfish in any sense."
"What I love about Clarice is that she doesn't really do that," Pulver said, adding that Clarice might not say much, but her words are wisely chosen. "She hits the nail on the head instantly. She goes, 'There we go. I know what's going on. Thank you very much.' And she leaves the scene.
"What that means is that she always keeps her power. That's what's so brilliant about her."
Clarice wielded that power wisely in the show's third episode (see videos) when she confronted her husband's lover, Lucrezia Donati (Laura Haddock), and also her husband. Clarice calmly spelled out to Lucrezia her place in the pecking order of Lorenzo's life, and later let her husband know that his dalliance with Lucrezia was continuing mostly because Clarice allows it.
Clarice's laser-sharp focus also keeps Leonardo da Vinci in line. She's one of few women who don't fall for his charms, but Pulver says that doesn't mean she's not interested--in his invention of weapons to help Florence.
"I think she's fascinated by him, but she has an agenda. She needs her city and her family to be protected so therefore we need him as that war engineer. And anything else needs to be put to one side. It's quite clinical in that sense for her," she said. "But I think there's definitely mileage in these two minds coming together to really learn more about each other."
Clarice is another juicy role for Pulver, whose credits before "Da Vinci's Demons" and "Sherlock" included her first TV job in 2009's "Robin Hood," the 2010 season of "True Blood" and "MI-5" in 2011. Unlike those roles, Clarice was written with her in mind. "Demons" writer/producer/director David S. Goyer, whose credits include "The Dark Knight" trilogy, approached her before he had even written the character.
"It's a huge compliment," Pulver said. "I went over to Los Angeles to meet with David. He's so full of integrity and artistry, and he's such an exciting man to be around. His energy and his passion for this project was kind of infectious. He asked me if I could kind of take a risk and be a part of a job where I didn't really know who this woman was. And he had nothing really to show me either.
"I'd seen the writing for the other characters in the first two episodes that they gave me. And it was really exciting and different and wonderful to be working with such an iconic moviemaker within cable television."
Pulver has had fleeting but effective screen time early in the series, but as eight-episode first season moves closer to the finale Clarice becomes more of a player, she said. Starz already has renewed the series for a second season, and Pulver says Clarice really comes into her own then.
"By the end of Season 1 it's kind of fight or flight for the majority of the characters," she said. "And Season 2 requires very much for her to show how capable she really is, without giving too much away."
Pulver will return to Swansea, Wales, to shoot another season of "Demons," but will she be back as Irene Adler in an upcoming season of "Sherlock?"
"She's definitely not dead, but who knows," said Pulver, who would love to return to Baker Street. "It's a wonderful show to be a part of and I think they definitely have ideas to delve back into that story. But for now I think they're very much looking at delving into other stories from the canon and theories. We shall see. But I think ideally they would love to have Martin [Freeman] and Benedict [Cumberbatch] still doing the show in 10 years time. And I'm sure that would then involve a few Irene Adler appearances."
Starz airs new episodes of "Da Vinci's Demons" at 8 p.m. CT Fridays. Below, Pulver talks more about Clarice's ability to keep a cool head, and how the actress probably wouldn't fare as well. (If you aren't caught up with the season so far, spoilers!)
Do you think Clarice is somewhat of a genius herself in her own ways?
I say she's certainly a woman ahead of her time. I would liken her to a modern day Jackie O in that sense, or a Hillary Clinton.
Clarice confronts Lucrezia, her husband's lover. What I love about that scene is that you could just be the jealous wife and start screaming. But she stays calm and tells Lucrezia that her function is to be the dalliance or the distraction. Tell me how does she stay so calm about that?
I think somehow she's able to compartmentalize her feelings in that way. And she doesn't approve it; she doesn't like it. But, like you say, she understands this woman's function. And if it means the protection and the love and the safety of her family and her city for a time, she's willing to allow it. But what's so wonderful is you or I or any other woman would handle it so differently. [Laughs.] And this is why I say she just has that self-belief and that strength within her. Her words are few and yet there so chosen.
How would, Lara, handle that situation?
Gosh. Oh gosh, what a question. Hopefully with dignity and yet allow yourself to feel the hurt and the pain. And I think that's definitely what you see in later episodes with Clarice. I don't think it serves anyone to bottle emotions. I don't think that's what Clarice is doing, but I think with Lara there would certainly be more [hysterics].
In another scene from that episode, she has a rose, which is what he uses to signal Lucrezia to meet. I love that she sends him that message.
Absolutely. [Laughs.] As she says, "There are others who wouldn't stick by you," and she hands him the rose. This is what I say is so wonderful about her. She says so little and yet she says so much. And it's wonderful to play, but it also can be really tricky because sometimes as an actor you want to emote and you want to kind of have tears and joy. And yet there's something about being kind of that reserved and ... authentic and honest, but it's actually really beautiful to play and see.
She ends up tipping off the very conspirator everyone wants to find. And I'm wondering if she will be the one to catch her?
Dunh dunh dunh dunh! Now that would be telling. [Laughs.] There are lots of twists and turns. We were just in Europe for the premiere and David let us have a sneak peek at the final 15 minutes of the season. And all I can say is that it was a page-turner when we did it, but to watch it, it kind of blew my mind. It's relentless and hugely exciting.
She's an Orsini and she married a Medici. Does she not like her family? In Episode 4 she makes a comment to Leo about, "I didn't come to Florence..."
"Come to Florence to live under Roman rule." Yeah.
It seems surprising in a time when it was all about family she's more about her new family as opposed to her original family.
Yeah. The character of my brother gets introduced into Season 1 and you see the conflict, the sibling kind of conflict between the two very much. But I think also she's a woman slightly ahead of her time.
And I think she realized that the religious belief and political and cultural climate of Rome wasn't necessarily for the better of the people. And I think that's why she is very compassionate for and identifies very much with the people of Florence, which I think is why they've taken her under their wing in a sense because she is as much a forward thinking woman as what Da Vinci is. But she's unable to express in the same way.
Did you know a lot about that time period before hand?
No. My knowledge of Renaissance Italy was small really. And I knew Leonardo Da Vinci as that old guy with the beard who'd painted the Mona Lisa. So to be able to kind of delve back into that time and having just now been to Florence as well was hugely informative. And I've slightly fallen in love with the Italian culture.
And also really it also feels so relevant. With having it just gone on with the pope and the Vatican it's happening today. It's still all so relevant.
Did you know a lot about Da Vinci besides artists, painter, inventor?
It's more the inventor side I didn't know about. I didn't know about the submarine and the bicycle and all this stuff. It's amazing what he did. And often end up becoming reality for like hundreds of years later. And that's why I guess he's the ultimate Renaissance man.
Did you find all the fascinating?
Absolutely. And David is a complete Italian Renaissance geek now. So he'll chew your ear off about anything to do with that.

The Petalers necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 110 diseños de 31 diseñadores freelance.
Looking for a logo that will attract the whimsically affluent that will be used in marketing campaign. Site will cater mostly to women.
We love what rosyadibad has done so far, but we decided to extend it one more day for good measure.Things we loved:
---That rust color in #24-27. Beautiful!
---The beautifully flowing "P" in most of Rosy's works. Great use of calligraphy while not drowning out the rest of the word.
---The basket of flowers concept
Thinks we didn't like so much:
---Gaudy Entries
---Ones that didn't scale/tint properly (either wouldn't fit into asquare/rectangle shape or loses its identity when grayscale / BW
---Waaaay too much purple! I know that we want to focus on affluentwomen, but we do expect some men to join...we want it to be at least alittle "unisexy"!
Honorable mentions:
---designjunction #15-16 -- we like the gradient and petal concept but weren't sold on the typography
---Lalaine #50 -- I really like how the color pops, but overall it's just a LITTLE bit too kitchy.
---bluejet #53 -- We absolutely fell in love with the wisp and would like to see more done with it, perhaps with that rust color.
---nickeldice -- for making the first great bike concept that I enjoyeduntil my business partner all but vetoed my bike idea (we are running a2 person democracy!)
This contest is not quite over though we have our inclinations.Thanks again to everyone and I hope to see a few more designs tomorrow!Keep up the great work and I wish you all nothing but the best in othercontests!
Have nothing to do this labor day weekend? Good, neither do we!
So we are going to launch a marketing campaign next month and weneed a logo to put on all our stuff (including our homepage).ThePetalers sells unique and rare works of art, jewelry, and furnituremade by local artisans. Many of these are one-of-a-kind.
- logo must be adaptable to black-and-white usage as well as full color.
- EPS vector (Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator) format preferred. Also required is at least the source of the font used, if not the font file itself.
- The entire motif of the site has to do with flowers (thus the "petal" pun) and therefore the logo should either represent or complement flora.
- PLEASE be as creative as possible...we want something that pops and is out of the ordinary. The more unique and creative, and not pictures from clip-arts the better
- We would like to see something tried with Lotus Flowers or Sunflowers or Peacock Feathers
- Will reject anything with a superfluous amount of colors. Logo must be simple enough to replicate, yet intricate enough to be unique.
- Anything that looks gaudy or amateurish. We are targeting the affluent.

maxae needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 161 designs submitted by 47 freelance designers.
GolfTrakk provides web based site templates, web tools, media, and internet marketing services for the golf industry. We are a progressive, web 2.0 software-as-a-service company and require a logo that matches our image.
We target golf course and resort owners and managers, PGA / LPGA teaching professionals, driving ranges, and golf retail operators.
We are looking for a simple, yet impact full corporate logo that lends itself to long-term branding (similar logos: AT&T, CDW, Dell, Cisco, etc). We would like more of an emphasis on the stylized font with a simple artistic, non-intrusive embellishment. We would prefer a two color scheme, however, full color submission will be considered.
We prefer bold, sans-serif, possibly italicized font. Colors are open. Obviously green is the first choice, but since we're marketing to business owners (not golfers), green is not essential. We'd like to see different variants on colors to get an idea of what looks best.

Board accepts application for assistance for a $3 million energy project
The Niagara County Industrial Development Agency board of directors today approved applications for assistance received at its June meeting from Niagara Jet Adventures LLC for a new tourism jetboat tour company in Youngstown, and from 452 Third Street LLC for a conversion of an abandoned building in Niagara Falls into an 11-room hotel.
"These are two great projects because they continue to enhance a robust and growing tourism industry, which our agency has been so strong (and) supportive of over the last few years," said acting Chairman Michael Tucker, who also is mayor of the City of Lockport. "In addition, it's a win-win whenever we can take an abandoned building and return it to the tax rolls."
The board also approved the assignment and assumption of the payment in lieu of taxes that was granted to Niagara Generation to Sterling Energy Group Inc. The NCIDA board of directors also accepted an application for assistance from Sterling Energy Group Inc. for a proposed plan to construct a warehouse on a vacant parcel on Niagara Falls Boulevard in the City of Niagara Falls that would service the newly purchased power plant.
Niagara Jet Adventures is proposing to open a new tourism attraction that would provide boat tours from the Water Street marina in Youngstown up the Niagara Gorge to the whirlpool and back to the marina. The company is working with Old Fort Niagara on tours, as well as with local businesses to offer package deals. This type of attraction is proven to keep tourists in the area for longer stays, which will benefit local hotels, restaurants and other attractions.
The new tourism attraction is estimated to cost approximately $900,000 and will create 11 new full-time jobs. Niagara Jet Adventures received a five-year PILOT and sales tax and mortgage recording tax exemptions. The project is estimated to have an annual positive community benefit of $191,516.
Sheikh Elahi, principal of 452 Third Street, plans to acquire an abandoned, two-story, 4,585-square-foot masonry structure located at 452 Third St., in the City of Niagara Falls. The company intends to design and renovate the site and structure and operate it as an 11-room hotel. Elahi currently owns and operates a 32-room motel on Grand Island Boulevard in Grand Island and has more than 10 years of experience owning and operating motel properties. The project will place a vacant property located in the heart of the Third Street retail district back in use and generate both sales tax and bed tax revenues for the community.
The acquisition of the abandoned building and renovation into a hotel is estimated at $595,000 and will create four full-time positions. Elahi was granted a 10-year PILOT, sales tax exemptions and mortgage recording tax abatement. The new hotel will have an annual community benefit of $129,277.
Sterling Energy Group of Gary, Ind., has purchased the idle Niagara Generation power plant at 5300 Frontier Ave., in the City of Niagara Falls. The company plans to retrofit and bring the facility back on line, generating approximately 50 megawatts of power. The company is planning to invest approximately $2 million in the plant and create 18 new full-time jobs. The project is projected to have an annual community benefit of approximately $1.57 million.
The NCIDA board of directors approved the assignment and assumption of the PILOT that was granted to Niagara Generation to Sterling Energy Group. The board also granted sales tax exemptions on the various improvements proposed for the plant. The company plans to construct a storage facility on a vacant parcel located at 6000/6100 Niagara Falls Blvd., in the City of Niagara Falls, that will include a warehouse along with a compressed natural gas fueling station.
The acquisition of the abandoned parcel and construction of the warehouse is estimated to cost $3 million. Sterling Energy has applied for a 15-year PILOT on the new facility and sales tax exemptions. The new warehouse will have an annual community benefit of $353,097.

Turkey Cranberry Sandwich
Every year during the winter holidays we always seem to have leftover turkey. The reason is because we always have at least a 20 pound bird for Thanksgiving and sometimes we may even cook another turkey for Christmas dinner. So, in the grand scheme of things, that's a lot of turkey! That's when I have to get creative with the leftovers. I make soups, stews, enchiladas, and even turkey lasagna.
One of my favorite ways of preparing leftover turkey is a turkey sandwich. I got my idea from a local deli in town that offers Turkey Cranberry Sandwiches on their menu. Whenever I stop there for lunch, that's the sandwich that I generally like to order. The turkey cranberry sandwich is piled high with fresh sliced turkey, tangy cranberry relish, and melt in your mouth cream cheese. My version of the Turkey Cranberry Sandwich is a bit different for I like to use blueberry bread instead of white bread. If you can't find blueberry bread just keep in mind that it also tastes great on raisin bread. So, the next time you happen to have leftover turkey, make this sandwich. You'll be glad that you did! Enjoy! Tessa
Ingredients ***
- 1/4 pound sliced turkey (no bones)
- 2 Tbs cream cheese
- 2 Tbs cranberry relish
- 2 slices of bread (I used blueberry bread)
On one slice of bread, pile on your turkey. Add the cream cheese and then the cranberry relish. Top with remaining bread, slice in half and serve. Makes one delicious sandwich!
*** Note: ingredient amounts are an approximation.

Sorry for the delay, did some traveling over the past couple days.
George Takei
The photon torpedo explodes, damaging two Herd spaceships. The warbird launches another photon torpedo and closes in on the planet.
On the ship, Scotty transfers a copy of the formula for Transparent Aluminum to a briefcase so that Takei can use it as a bargaining chip on the surface. They'll be close enough to beam down next turn.
Britannian Space Superiority Group
The fighters shoot down a Herd fighter.
A barrage of flak and laser fire from the gunboat takes one point of damage off a Herd missile frigate and destroys one of an escort frigate's laser turrets.
The other gunboat attacks but doesn't accomplish much.
The carrier moves up. It will be within shuttle range of the planet next turn.
The bombers do another point of damage to the Herd missile cruiser. It's almost dead now.
T.L.A. Rapid Assault Force
Space Force One flies past the planet and teleports the ground forces down.
The Gamma and Omega class ships follow, avoiding collisions with their allies. The Omega class ship's missiles also hit the Spirit of Friendship, doing a point of damage.
Bob and his cabinet land on the ground battlefield.
Bob charges the wall...
... and smashes right through it.
The Director of Homeland Security kills the minigunner with a nail to the gut.
The other members of Bob's cabinet advance towards the breach.
Britannian Main Battle Group
The monitor fires on the Herd missile frigate, inflicting heavy damage.
The Horatio's heavy torpedo (fired last turn) finishes it off, and brings the escort frigate down to its last HP.
T.L.A. Ranged Support Task Force
One of the Alpha cruiser's torpedoes is destroyed by response fire, but the other takes an HP off the Herd battle frigate and escort frigate.
The fighters eliminate the Britannian fighter squadron by spamming gauss and point-blank missile fire. They're down to one missile each.
The Alpha-class makes a break for the planet while launching torpedoes.
Light missiles from the Beta-class damage a Herd missile frigate, bringing it down to 1HP.
It fires another pair of light missiles at the battle frigate.
The Archer can't do much besides decelerate.
Sea Pwny Cleanser Probe
The probe activates its jammer and lightning projector, inflicting 2 points of damage on a battle frigate and 1 point on the Britannian monitor.
The Herd
The battle frigate is forced to leave the fight in order to avoid a collision. It'll probably take some time to turn around and come back.
Rainbow Crash: "I thought all the Sea Pwnies were eliminated in the Purge!"
Sparkly Twilight: "Apparently some of them, or their creations, escaped. You know what we have to do."
The Elements of Harm inflict heavy damage on the probe, but its cold, emotionless circuitry cannot be corrupted by the power of friendship, and they fail to gain control over it or any of its systems.
The Horatio class cruiser inflicts 3 more points of damage with a laser broadside.
The Herd's fighter squadron eliminates a Vulcan.
Their missile frigate fires missiles at the Alpha-class cruiser, while other fighters gang up on it to no effect.
They do manage to shoot down a T.L.A. torpedo.
And their battle frigate does another point of damage to the Sea Pwny Probe, reducing it to 6 HP.
While one of their ground troops runs for the abandoned minigun turret, the rest open fire and wound Bob the Unbuilder (1 wound remaining)
In order to not force players to spend all their time avoiding collisions, friendly ships can now pass through each other without causing damage. Send orders for next turn, and remember that many of you will be able to beam down troops (and thus need to send ground force orders).


text: Kansas, situated on the American Great Plains, became the 34th state on January 29, 1861. Its path to statehood was long and bloody: After the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 opened the two territories to settlement and allowed the new settlers to determine whether the states would be admitted to the union as "free" or"slave," North and South competed to send the most settlers into the region. This quickly led to violence,and the territory became known as "Bleeding Kansas." Kansas has long been known as part of America's agricultural heartland, and is home to the major U.S. military installation Fort Leavenworth. In 1954, it became a battleground of the civil rights movement when the landmark Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka case was decided in the Supreme Court, ending the doctrine of "separate but equal" in public schools. Kansas is also known for its contributions to jazz music, barbecue and as the setting of L. Frank Baum's classic children's book The Wizard of Oz.

Robo-Motions: The New Robosigning Scandal
Blog post • Aug 16, 2012 15:53 EDT
Recently, Jacquelyn Trask, one of my associate attorneys, won a motion to dismiss with the court reserving determination of our right to receive attorneys' fees on a case that highlights a growing problem, the filing of "robo-motions."
The unusual facts of the case demonstrate how dangerous robo-motions are: potentially much more dangerous than the heights scaled by the robo-signing scandal.She won the motion to dismiss because the bank's attorney filed a motion to reschedule a foreclosure sale and have an ex parte order entered.What are ex parte orders, you ask?Simply put, ex parte orders are an unusual exception to a fundamental rule upon which our legal system is based: notice.
Usually, whenever one side in a case files a motion or requests an order from a judge, the other side has to be notified before the judge rules on the motion so that both sides can present their arguments.
That way, everyone gets a fair hearing.
Seems pretty obvious right?
The General Rules of Ethics even goes so far as to say ex parte motions should be avoided at all costs, and should only be used when giving notice to the other side will seriously harm your client. The foreclosure mill attorney turned the rule sideways.
Because the judge in the case had previously entered a court order forbidding the foreclosure sale from taking place.
The bank was able to reschedule the foreclosure sale because its attorney filed an ex parte motion with a different judge who knew nothing of the order. The attorney didn't communicate with our firm, or as it turned out with the right judge as well, because it would harm the case, not because it would harm the client.

This morning at the opening session of NBAA's 24th annual Schedulers & Dispatchers Conference, NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen looked to the start of the new session of Congress and used his podium to issue an impassioned plea for show attendees to contact their representatives, requesting they join the general aviation caucus.
"One thing I have learned after nine years of coming to Schedulers and Dispatchers is that the people that come to this conference are doers–you guys make things happen, so I am coming to you today to ask you to get it done," he told the audience gathered in the ballroom of the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center. Despite the last session being generally regarded as a do-nothing Congress due to partisan arguing, Bolen recounted the aviation-friendly legislation it was able to pass, including the reinstatement of the BARR program, the oft-delayed FAA reauthorization, the pilot's bill of rights, legislation against the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme and the extension of bonus depreciation.
He credited those successes to the industry's engagement with the legislators on both sides of the aisle over the last four years. During the session of Congress that just ended, those efforts resulted in nearly 40 percent of lawmakers in both houses joining their GA caucuses, a level that Bolen said must be achieved again in the new session to provide protection for the industry against threats such as user fees. With the battles over the national debt and sequestration still facing debate, some legislators continue to view additional fees on general aviation as a source of revenue without raising taxes, he noted.

Ed Bolen's speech reported above seems to address domestic matters in the USA but it should be remembered that the members of the NBAA are international. Also the EBAA plays a very important role and also works together with NBAA. The attendees are also international and are not interested in the domestic matters and contacting representatives of Congress.
S & D is an international meeting and I would expect that any address would cover international matters and not domestic US issues. These may also not be popular outside the USA, such as the legislation against the European emissions trading programme.

Obama hates airplanes as much as he hates guns, so we should all feel vulnerable. Therefore we need to do everything we possibly can. At AirVenture (Oshkosh) a couple of years ago I testified to the Aviation Subcommittee about the safety issues of User Fees--if they are instituted, there will be a lot more "Bogus IFR" and "sneaking around/under the weather." As it is now, I personally file IFR on every night cross-country for all the obvious reasons.
We need to keep after our representatives to keep what we've got.

Last month, we looked at how to calculate various lighting loads. This month, we'll look at how to calculate receptacle and appliance loads. Let's tackle receptacle loads first.
Receptacle loads. A receptacle is a contact device installed at an outlet for the connection of an attachment plug. To calculate the total VA of receptacle loads, calculate the VA for each type of occupancy and total the results. For continuous loads - loads where the maximum current is expected to continue for 3 hours or more - you'll need to use a multiplier of 125%.
If the receptacle is a part of a multioutlet assembly, such as a surface, flush, or freestanding raceway, you will have to follow a slightly different path to arrive at the total VA. Let's try to calculate the VA for a general-purpose receptacle load.
First, examine the use for each receptacle. Count the number of receptacles that will serve continuous-operation loads, and multiply that number by 125% for your new total. Then, count the number of receptacles that will serve noncontinuous-operation loads and add this to the previous total. Multiply the results of that addition by 180VA to get your answer.
Example: What is the load in VA for 55 general-purpose receptacles that serve noncontinuous loads and 55 more that serve continuous loads?
Step 1: Calculate the continuous load, per Secs. 220-3(b)(9), 215-2(a), and 230-42(a)(1). 55 receptacles x 125% x 180VA = 12,375VA
Step 2: Calculate noncontinuous load, per Secs. 220-3(b)(9), 215-2(a), and 230-42(a)(1). 55 receptacles x 180VA = 9900VA
Solution: The continuous load is 12,375VA and the noncontinuous load is 9900VA. Therefore, your total load is 12,375VA + 9900VA = 22,275VA.
You can't apply the demand factor in Table 220-13 to the continuous load of 12,375VA, even though this value exceeds 10,000VA. Let's look at how you can apply demand factors.
Applying demand factors. You calculate general-purpose receptacle outlets for cord-and-plug connected loads (noncontinuous operation), per Sec. 220-3(b)(9) and Table 220-13. If the VA rating of the receptacle load exceeds 10,000VA, you can apply a demand factor of 50% to all VA exceeding 10,000VA, per Table 220-13. Don't make the mistake of applying the demand factor to the first 10,000VA as well.
Example: What is the VA rating for 225 general-purpose receptacle outlets to cord-and-plug connected loads used for noncontinuous operation?
Step 1: Calculate the load, per Sec. 220-3(b)(9). 225 x 180VA = 40,500VA
Step 2: Apply demand factors, per Table 220-13. The first 10,000VA x 100% = 10,000VA. The remaining 30,500VA x 50% = 15,250VA
Solution: The total load is 25,250VA.
Fixed multioutlet assemblies. As we mentioned above, calculating the load for multioutlet assemblies is a bit different from calculating the load for general-purpose receptacles. For connected loads not operating simultaneously, divide the length of the multioutlet assembly by 5 ft and then multiply the result by 180VA. For connected loads operating simultaneously, multiply each foot of the multioutlet assembly by 180VA. You can add the multioutlet assembly load to the noncontinuous receptacle load and demand factors applied, per Table 220-13.
Example 1: What is the load in VA for 200 ft of multioutlet assembly used to cord-and-plug connected loads not used simultaneously? Calculate load not used simultaneously, per Sec. 220-3(b)(8)(a).
VA = (length/5 ft) x 180VA. VA = (200 ft/5 ft)x 180VA. VA = 7,200VA
Example 2: What is the load in VA for 200 ft of multioutlet assembly used to cord-and-plug connected loads used simultaneously? Calculate load used simultaneously, per Sec. 220-3(b)(8)(b).
VA = length x 180VA. VA = 200 ft x 180VA. VA = 36,000VA
Now let's look at a slightly more complex example.
Example 3: What's the total load when you have 200 ft of multioutlet assembly (for cord-and-plug connected loads used simultaneously) and 225 general-purpose receptacle outlets (for cord-and-plug connected loads used in noncontinuous operation)?
Step 1: Compute load used simultaneously, per Sec. 220-3(b)(8)(b). Load = length x 180VA. Load = 200 ft x 180VA. Load = 36,000VA
Step 2: Compute load for receptacles, per Sec. 220-3(b)(9). 225 outlets x 180VA = 40,500VA
Step 3: Add multioutlet assembly and receptacle loads. Multioutlet assembly = 36,000VA. Receptacle load = 40,500VA. Total load = 76,500VA
Step 4: Apply demand factors, per Table 220-13. Because you have no continuous loads, your entire load is factorable.
Factorable load = 76,500VA. The first 10,000VA x 100% = 10,000VA. The remaining 66,500VA x 50% = 33,250VA. Solution: The total load = 33,250VA + 10,000VA = 43,250VA
Let's add another twist to the calculation.
Example 4: If the multioutlet loads in the previous example were continuous, you would have to arrive at the answer differently. You would exclude the 36,000VA of continuous load from the demand factor calculation.
Factorable load = 40,500VA. The first 10,000VA x 100% = 10,000VA. The remaining factorable 30,500VA x 50% = 15,250VA. Therefore, total load = 36,000VA + 10,000VA + 15,250VA = 61,250VA
Appliance loads. You calculate appliance loads by multiplying the VA rating of each load by 100% for noncontinuous operation and 125% for continuous operation. To determine the classification, appliance loads operating for less than 3 hr are noncontinuous operation loads. An appliance load operating for 3 hr or more is a continuous operation load. Let's run through a couple of examples to familiarize ourselves with these types of calculations.
Example 1: What is the VA rating for a 208V, 3-phase, 165A appliance load operating for 10 hr and supplied by an individual branch-circuit?
Step 1: Compute VA, per Sec. 220-2. VA = V x I x 1.732
VA = 208V x 1.732 x 165A
Step 2: Compute continuous load, per Secs. 215-2(a) and 230-42(a)(1). 59,400VA x 125% = 74,250VA
Solution: The load at continuous operation is 74,250VA. Why did 1.732 enter into the calculation? When doing 3-phase calculations, you must multiply by the square root of 3, which is 1.732.
Example 2: What is the VA rating for an appliance load of 82A operating at 480V, 3-phase, for 2 1/2 hr every 4 hr?
Step 1: Compute VA, per Sec. 220-2. VA = V x 1.732. VA = 480V x 1.732 x 82A. VA = 68,142
Because this is a noncontinuous load, you have your answer.
Secs. 215-2(a) and 230-42(a)(1) require you to multiply noncontinuous loads by 100%, which won't change your results. If you were working with continuous loads, you would multiply by 125% to arrive at 85,178VA.
When doing any of these calculations, always determine which portions of your total load is continuous or noncontinuous. Calculate all loads as though they were noncontinuous, and then multiply the continuous loads by 125% and add your noncontinuous loads and continuous loads together. Remember: You can't apply demand factors to continuous loads - by definition, they are always in demand.

Golden Flapjacks
I think everybody loves flapjacks, they are sweet, satisfying and healthy. I love the fact that you can add just about anything to them for delicious alternatives to the basic recipe. I have gone for a basic recipe today of 100g butter, 100g demerara sugar, 100g golden syrup and 225g porridge oats. Flapjacks normally come in squares but i decided to be different today and make them in a round tin. If you are thinking of making these i would suggest using the breakfast porridge oats, i.e. rolled oats. Avoid the jumbo oats as they are too large for these flapjacks. This recipe also comes courtesy of Secrets from a Country Kitchen. I am on a mission this month to only cook recipes from this book, which i find is a great way of getting round to using the cookbooks sitting on my book shelf lonely and gathering dust.
