DUKE FIELD � A reflective Ron Guidry leaned against the interior wall in the cockpit of a Combat Talon I aircraft.
The plane the retired Air Force colonel was crouching in � the same plane he�d flown in a covert attempt to rescue more than 50 Iran hostages 33 years ago � was being retired.
�It�s pretty emotional,� he said Thursday as he looked out the windshield at the crowd gathered in the hangar at Duke Field for the ceremony.
See photos from the event. >>
He held his hands up to his eyes to mimic how he�d been positioned with night-vision goggles to help the pilots land in the desert sand swirling below on April 24, 1980.
Guidry�s plane, the first of Operation Eagle Claw, was sent in to test the ground at the Desert One site to make sure the sand was solid enough to support the 190,000-pound aircraft and crew.
It was.
His crew took off and the next round of Talons, one more ill-fated than his, were sent in.
A helicopter, disoriented in the sand the rotors had kicked up, crashed into one of the Talons and the aircraft exploded in a massive fireball in the night.
The mission was aborted, leaving eight Americans dead and the hostages behind for about nine more months.
However, from the rubble of the failed mission the modern-day Special Operations forces were formed, and the Combat Talon that was close to being sent to the bone yard was resurrected for decades more service.
�We weren�t ready for that mission. We got caught with our pants down,� said retired Air Force Col. Ray Turczyniski, who also was flying in one of the C-130s that day.
�The failure of Desert One, though, would prove to be the salvation of the Combat Talon and a catalyst for the rebirth of Special Operations,� he said during the ceremony.
Shortly after, military branches formed their own Special Operations units, the Joint Special Operations Command was born and funding was shifted to meet Special Ops� needs, Turczyniski said.
Leaders who gathered for the aircraft�s retirement ceremony said that in its almost 50 years in service the Talon I had a place in almost all conflicts, including more recently when it played a major role in dismantling al-Qaida in Afghanistan.
The remaining Talon I aircraft at Duke Field, the last in the Air Force, flew their final missions last week.
The five regal, slate gray planes were posted outside the hangar during Thursday�s ceremony. An American flag poked from the roof of one above the four looming propellers, waving to the crowd gathered for its sendoff.
Dozens of airmen who participated in Desert One attended the ceremony, along with hundreds of people who crewed, worked on or developed the planes over their 50 years in service.
Chief Master Sgt. Thomas Mason had been a loadmaster on the Talon Is at Duke Field for 17 years until he recently was promoted to command chief at the 919th Special Operations Wing.
He got to take his final flight as loadmaster on one of the C-130s� last missions.
�It was a bittersweet moment,� he said. �To have it work out like (that), I couldn�t have scripted that.�
Mason had been deployed with the Talon I seven times since 9/11, including the very first operation in Afghanistan, known as Hit Night, on Oct. 19, 2001.
�I was there when it all kicked off,� he said.
He was also flying on Dec. 7, 2001, and remembers the crew�s idle chatter as they cruised along. Then they heard a helicopter mission had gone awry and quickly shifted gears to rush in and rescue the crew and destroy the choppers before they were discovered by the enemy.
On April 2, 2003, two C-130 Talons led a formation of helicopters to seize Sadaam Hussein�s palace in Iraq. The pilots had to descend to 85 feet to narrowly avoid missile fire, but were able to complete the mission, said Lt. Col. Dan Flynn, commander of the 711th Special Operations Squadron at Duke.
Flynn was flying in a Talon I on Feb. 12, 2009, that was sent out in the middle of a snowstorm in Afghanistan to rescue four people injured in an improvised bomb explosion. They had to land the plane on a tiny strip covered in black ice on the side of a mountain, but it made it, he said.
The longevity of the plane�s combat time is a testament to its design and usefulness, officials at the ceremony said.
�It�s a sad but proud day for us,� Flynn said.
The Talon Is are being replaced by new iterations of the planes that have been developed over the years.
�They still look great, but they�ve seen the end of their days,� said Andy Comtois, commander of the 919th Special Operations Wing. �It�s time to retire this 50-year-old airframe.�
The 919th no will longer fly Talons. Instead, crews will fly the smaller C1-45s, which fly some, but not all of the same missions, Comtois said.

Rotifers fall prey to many animals, such as copepods, fish (e.g. herring, salmon), bryozoa, comb jellies, jellyfish, and starfish.[17]
Bdelloid rotifer females cannot produce resting eggs, but many can survive prolonged periods of adverse conditions after brine shrimp, this desiccation tolerance is thought to be linked to the production of trehalose, a non-reducing disaccharide (sugar), bdelloids apparently cannot synthesise trehalose. In bdelloids, a major cause of the resistance to desiccation, as well as resistance to ionizing radiation, is a highly efficient mechanism for repairing the DNA double-strand breaks induced by these agents.[16] This repair mechanism likely involves mitotic recombination between homologous DNA regions. [16]
Males in the class Monogononta may be either present or absent depending on the species and environmental conditions. In the absence of males, reproduction is by parthenogenesis and results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Individuals of some species form two distinct types of parthenogenetic eggs; one type develops into a normal parthenogenetic female, while the other occurs in response to a changed environment and develops into a degenerate male without a digestive system, but with a complete male reproductive system used to inseminate females thereby producing fertilized 'resting eggs' (also termed diapausing eggs). Resting eggs develop into zygotes that can survive extreme environmental conditions such as may happen during winter or when the pond dries up. These eggs resume development and produce a new female generation when conditions improve again.
Resting eggs
Recent transitions: Loss of sexual reproduction can be inherited in a simple Mendelian fashion in the monogonont rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus: This species can normally switch between sexual and asexual reproduction (cyclical parthenogenesis), but occasionally gives rise to purely asexual lineages (obligate parthenogens). These lineages are unable to reproduce sexually due to being homozygous for a recessive allele.[15]
'Ancient asexuals': Bdelloid rotifers are assumed to have reproduced without sex for many millions of years. Males are absent within the species, and females reproduce only by parthenogenesis.
Loss of sexual reproduction
The life span of monogonont females varies from two days to about three weeks.
Most species hatch as miniature versions of the adult. Sessile species, however, are born as free-swimming larvae, which closely resemble the adults of related free-swimming species. Females grow rapidly, reaching their adult size within a few days, while males typically do not grow in size at all.[12]
Fertilization is internal. The male either inserts his penis into the female's cloaca or uses it to penetrate her skin, injecting the sperm into the body cavity. The egg secretes a shell, and is attached either to the substratum, nearby plants, or the female's own body. A few species, such as Rotaria, are ovoviviparous, retaining the eggs inside their body until they hatch.[12]
Males do not usually have a functional digestive system, and are therefore short-lived, often being sexually fertile at birth. They have a single testicle and sperm duct, associated with a pair of glandular structures referred to as prostates (unrelated to the vertebrate prostate). The sperm duct opens into a gonopore at the posterior end of the animal, which is usually modified to form a penis. The gonopore is homologous to the cloaca of females, but in most species has no connection to the vestigial digestive system, which lacks an anus.[12]
The female reproductive system consists of one or two ovaries, each with a vitellarium gland that supplies the eggs with yolk. Together, each ovary and vitellarium form a single syncitial structure in the anterior part of the animal, opening through an oviduct into the cloaca.[12]
Rotifers are dioecious and reproduce sexually or parthenogenetically. They are sexually dimorphic, with the females always being larger than the males. In some species, this is relatively mild, but in others the female may be up to ten times the size of the male. In parthenogenetic species, males may be present only at certain times of the year, or absent altogether.[12]
Reproduction and life cycle
Rotifers eat particulate organic detritus, dead bacteria, algae, and protozoans. They eat particles up to 10 micrometres in size. Like crustaceans, rotifers contribute to nutrient recycling. For this reason, they are used in fish tanks to help clean the water, to prevent clouds of waste matter. Rotifers affect the species composition of algae in ecosystems through their choice in grazing. Rotifers may be in competition with cladocera and copepods for slowvagplanktonic food sources.
Bdelloid rotifer genomes contain two or more divergent copies of each gene, suggesting a long-term asexual evolutionary history.[13] For example, four copies of hsp82 are found. Each is different and found on a different chromosome excluding the possibility of homozygous sexual reproduction. Its thin lamellae resemble cabbage leaves, and are composed from their creases of the receptor membrane.[14]
Like many other microscopic animals, adult rotifers frequently exhibit eutely—they have a fixed number of cells within a species, usually on the order of 1,000.
The coronal cilia pull the animal, when unattached, through the water.
Rotifers typically possess one or two pairs of short antennae and up to five eyes. The eyes are simple in structure, sometimes with just a single photoreceptor cell. In addition, the bristles of the corona are sensitive to touch, and there are also a pair of tiny sensory pits lined by cilia in the head region.[12]
Rotifers have a small brain, located just above the mastax, from which a number of nerves extend throughout the body. The number of nerves varies between species, although the nervous system usually has a simple layout. Close to the brain lies a retrocerebral organ, consisting of two glands either side of a medial sac. The sac drains into a duct that divides into two before opening through pores on the uppermost part of the head. Its function is unclear.[12]
Nervous system
A pair of osmotic balance.[12]
Behind the mastax lies an oesophagus, which opens into a stomach where most of the digestion and absorption occurs. The stomach opens into a short intestine that terminates in a cloaca on the posterior dorsal surface of the animal. Up to seven salivary glands are present in some species, emptying to the mouth in front of the oesophagus, while the stomach is associated with two gastric glands that produce digestive enzymes.[12]
The coronal cilia create a current that sweeps food into the mouth. The mouth opens into a characteristic chewing pharynx (called the mastax), sometimes via a ciliated tube, and sometimes directly. The pharynx has a powerful muscular wall and contains tiny, calcified, jaw-like structures called trophi, which are the only fossilizable parts of a rotifer. The shape of the trophi varies between different species, depending partly on the nature of their diet. In suspension feeders, the trophi are covered in grinding ridges, while in more actively carnivorous species, they may be shaped like forceps to help bite into prey. In some ectoparasitic rotifers, the mastax is adapted to grip onto the host, although, in others, the foot performs this function instead.[12]
Digestive system
The trunk forms the major part of the body, and encloses most of the internal organs. The foot projects from the rear of the trunk, and is usually much narrower, giving the appearance of a tail. The cuticle over the foot often forms rings, making it appear segmented, although the internal structure is uniform. Many rotifers can retract the foot partially or wholly into the trunk. The foot ends in from one to four toes, which, in sessile and crawling species, contain adhesive glands to attach the animal to the substratum. In many free-swimming species, the foot as a whole is reduced in size, and may even be absent.[12]
Modifications to the basic plan of the corona include alteration of the cilia into bristles or large tufts, and either expansion or loss of the ciliated band around the head. In genera such as Collotheca, the corona is modified to form a funnel surrounding the mouth. In many species, such as Testudinella, the cilia around the mouth have disappeared, leaving just two small circular bands on the head. In the bdelloids, this plan is further modified, with the upper band splitting into two rotating wheels, raised up on a pedestal projecting from the upper surface of the head.[12]
The most distinctive feature of rotifers is the presence of a ciliated structure, called the corona, on the head. In the more primitive species, this forms a simple ring of cilia around the mouth from which an additional band of cilia stretches over the back of the head. In the great majority of rotifers, however, this has evolved into a more complex structure.
Rotifers have bilateral symmetry and a variety of different shapes. The body of a rotifer is divided into a head, trunk, and foot, and is typically somewhat cylindrical. There is a well-developed cuticle, which may be thick and rigid, giving the animal a box-like shape, or flexible, giving the animal a worm-like shape; such rotifers are respectively called loricate and illoricate. Rigid cuticles are often composed of multiple plates, and may bear spines, ridges, or other ornamentation. Their cuticle is nonchitinous and is formed from sclerotized proteins.
The word "rotifer" is derived from a Latin word meaning "wheel-bearer",[11] due to the corona around the mouth that in concerted sequential motion resembles a wheel (though the organ does not actually rotate).
The Rotifera, strictly speaking, are confined to the Bdelloidea and the Monogonata. Rotifera, Acanthocephala and Seisonida make up a clade called Syndermata.[10]
The Acanthocephala, previously considered to be a separate phylum, have been demonstrated to be modified rotifers. The exact relationship to other members of the phylum has not yet been resolved.[9] One possibility is that the Acanthocephala are closer to the Bdelloidea and Monogononta than to the Seisonidea; the corresponding names and relationships are shown in the cladogram below.
About 2200 species of rotifers have been described. Their taxonomy is currently in a state of flux. One treatment places them in the phylum Rotifera, with three classes: Seisonidea, Bdelloidea and Monogononta.[7] The largest group is the Monogononta, with about 1500 species, followed by the Bdelloidea, with about 350 species. There are only two known genera with three species of Seisonidea.[8]

Tonight, "Jeopardy" will either be giving mankind a heartwarming Valentine, or helping to usher in our obsolescence.
The iconic game show is kicking off a three-night event that will see two of their greatest champions - Ken Jennings, the record holder for most consecutive games played, and Brad Rutter, the record holder for highest cumulative winnings - take on an IBM-created supercomputer named "Watson." The stakes? It may just be our very existence.
"I felt more pressure than usual," admits Jennings. " I felt like I was chosen to be a champion of the species somehow. Homo Sapiens would be let down if I let the machine take this. This will be the greatest thing on television ever…until dolphins learn how to play 'Jeopardy'."
Adds Rutter: "I feel a little like John Henry, although hopefully I won't collapse dead with a buzzer in my hand at the end of the match. But I imagine people at home with be rooting for either Ken or I to win rather than Watson. You do feel like you're trying to strike a blow for humanity against the rise of the machines."
According to IBM, Watson was specifically designed to "directly and precisely answer natural language questions over an open and broad range of knowledge." The goal, they explain, is to create a computer that can not only store information but process it in human terms. Because Watson's internal system is so complex and its purpose so open-ended, Jennings and Rutter agree that, win or lose, this is nothing short of living history.
"The Jeopardy event is more meaningful in a lot of ways than, say, the chess computer beating Gary Kasparov," Jennings told PopcornBiz. "Answering general knowledge questions has more implications for daily life than the ability to compute moves on a chess board. I think this is the beginning of a lot of Watson-like changes in our everyday life."
When asked if either Jennings or Rutter agree with the recent "Time" magazine article in which author Raymond Kurweil declares that robots will surpass humans in 35 years, the Jeopardy champs aren't as willing to mark their calendars. "In the 1960s, scientists were saying we'd have robots that are smarter than people in 10 or 15 years," says Rutter. "Watson is a big step forward and I think we're definitely on our way there, but any time you put a time frame on it you're kind of playing a fool's game."
The human contestants expressed optimism that the human brain is still superior in some instances. For example, both Jennings and Rutter agree that the more abstract categories like "Before and After" where two answers are linked by a shared word or phrase may not be as easy for Watson to process, and, of course, Watson can't exactly banter with host Alex Trebek. "Even by the low standards set by Jeopardy contestants," jokes Jennings, "Watson isn't the most dynamic personality."
The humans vs. machine episodes will run over the course of three nights, starting Monday and concluding Wednesday. Despite the outcome, Jennings and Rutter are more than ready to take on Watson again. Perhaps even on a different battleground entirely.
"Watson is good at Jeopardy," says Jennings, "but let's see how it does on 'Top Chef' or 'Dancing with the Stars'."
Man Vs. Machine: "Jeopardy" Champs Take on Computer
Tonight, "Jeopardy" will either be giving mankind a heartwarming Valentine, or helping to usher in our obsolescence.

Hey all,
I am new to this website and I just downloaded NetBeans on my Mac and I am trying to code something on my website that will allow me to sort out topics by selecting certain icons. For example, we have team icons next to a topic that has been started and I was just wondering if you guys could help me out with anything. If you want to take a look at the website and come across with some of your own ideas, here you go - www.the-mainboard.com
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have started working on a little code tonight but I am new to this language and I believe we are also going to be running Ruby on it soon.

Publication ban in child porn case thwarts efforts to combat bullying: family
HALIFAX — Her story has become widely known and her case linked to efforts to combat the pernicious effects of cyberbullying.
The young woman's name is a touchstone for governments and other families struggling with the sometimes tragic consequences of persistent online harassment and, in her case, an alleged sexual assault that resulted in child pornography charges that are now before the court.
But in an ironic twist, her parents say they are restricted in telling her sad narrative or advocating on her behalf because of a statutory publication ban intended to protect her by shielding her identity.
"I think it's actually ridiculous — no one was here to protect her when she was here and now they're talking about protecting the victim's rights, so it's just kind of a mockery and a slap in the face," said the teenager's mother, who can't be identified under the ban.
"Her story has helped so many other people … so it is really important to not silence people who are already scared to come out and tell their story."
The ban was upheld by the provincial court in Halifax after two teens were charged with distributing child pornography in connection with the case. One of them is also charged with making child pornography.
The girl at the centre of the case died last year following a suicide attempt.
A judge upheld the ban on any information that might identify her, as required by the Criminal Code, which states that a judge "shall" order such a ban in every case where child pornography is alleged.
Media outlets argued the ban should be overturned, but Judge Jamie Campbell ruled last month that he had no ability under the law to lift it.
Still, his 20-page decision outlined the awkward problem and unintended consequences of having to follow the Criminal Code section and, in his words, apply "the ban that nobody wants."
"Under section 486.4(3) the judge has to impose the ban even if no one asks for it, no one wants it, no one thinks it makes any sense at all, and it will have no real effect at all," Campbell wrote. "Whether there are exceptional circumstances is irrelevant."
The restrictions came even after the girl's family wrote directly to the court to ask that it not be put in place and that her name be used in the proceedings and any other publications about the case.
In a one-page letter, the parents argued that their daughter's story has been used to "facilitate legislative reform and raise awareness of issues that are relevant to Canadians." Taking that away would limit their ability to continue that work, they said.
Despite that, the judge reasoned that if he stretched the law to accommodate the demands of this particular case he ran the risk of setting a precedent that could lead to the identification of victims in other child pornography cases.
Campbell said the Criminal Code provision prevails over other statutes including the Youth Criminal Justice Act, which allows parents to waive publication bans if their child dies.
It's a finding that frustrates her parents, who say they will continue publicizing her name, including on social media and on T-shirts in response to the court decision.
"I think we've done an awful lot of good things because of all the issues surrounding her case, so it's hard now to try to make these kinds of arguments if we can't give an example of what the problem is," said her father.
"After all the publicity around the case to suddenly come up and say, 'Oh by the way, no one's allowed to talk about this,' it just seemed really out of place to us."
He added that the family is considering a charter challenge that would argue the ban infringes on their right to freedom of expression.
Legal experts say that could be a tough fight as the courts might not want to undo a law put in place to assure victims that their names would not be made public.
"It would be a difficult thing to do for anybody who's a victims' rights advocate to challenge something that is at its core designed to protect victims," said David Fraser, a Halifax lawyer who specializes in privacy issues.
Wayne MacKay, a lawyer and cyberbullying expert, said the case is very unusual and highlights a deficiency in legislation that imposes a blanket approach to unique situations.
He suggests a way around it might be to seek a constitutional exemption that would be so narrow in scope that it wouldn't be able to be applied to other cases.
"What is the possible benefit from the publication ban? There really doesn't appear to be one," he said. "The (Criminal Code) section should stay, but making an exemption in a reasonably unique and clearly defined case like this seems to me to be the right answer.
"This really puts the whole case back in the closet so people can't talk about it by name."
Campbell said in the ruling that the director of public prosecutions could issue a direction to lawyers not to prosecute certain cases that would not be in the public interest.
Chris Hansen, spokeswoman for the prosecution service, dismissed the suggestion.
"To make an announcement that we're not going to prosecute if a law is broken is inappropriate and unprecedented," she said. "If there is a charge brought to us, we would assess it the way we would assess any other charge."

Here at Increa.com, we're celebrating 28 years on the Internet! Increa began to publish the "Minisport Laptop Hacker" via UUCP in October of 1991. A year after Yahoo came into existence, in November 1997, Increa Technology appeared as a web page hosted on qsl.net. A year later Google put up a web page. In 2002, Increa.com became a stand-alone domain. On these web pages, you'll find information hovering in the void between professional activities, entrepreneurial feasibility, and renaissance curiosity. If you use material from pages I maintain, please link let me know, and provide a link back to Increa.com.
Early intentions out of high
school were to become a medical
doctor, but during my second year of
college, I started building computers, and my life
became a combination of interests. I obtained a
Ph.D. degree doing atomic emission analysis of atmospheric pressure
spark discharges, and then joined the military as an Air Force pilot.
When I left active duty military, I settled onto a rural homestead in Michigan and secured work as a Sr. System Engineer in the field of industrial automation, while continuing to fly KC-135s with the Air Force Reserves. I enjoyed the intellectual freedom of being a telecommuter, but the dot.com implosion in 2001 sent me out on my own to breath life back into the sole proprietorship company I had started more than a decade prior. I did contract work under conditions that many dream of, but was disappointed at the lack of integrity in some business relationships.
When a job opened up as a Flight Test Engineer at Edwards AFB on the Airborne Laser program, I moved to southern California. Later, I took a job in the Electronic Warfare directorate, where I found more expansive work doing Directed Energy Test & Evaluation and other Technical Assistance representing the Air Force Flight Test Center enterprise at Edwards Air Force Base. At the USAF Test Pilot School, I continued to develop flight test instrumentation and software to significantly cut costs of aircraft modification, while changing flight test execution paradigms and educational curriculum.
Fall of 2007, I accepted a
full-time faculty position back in Michigan, while
simultaneously serving in a
Residential Life position on campus. During semester breaks,
continued Air Force Reserve work at
the USAF Test Pilot School and
the Electronic
Warfare Directorate.
The draw of wind and weather in an
operational environment, and
the deleterious effects of long office hours staring at a computer had
a combined effect, which eventually drew me back to the west coast to instruct at the USAF Test Pilot School..
Eventually, as finances allowed, I decided I wanted to move back to
the Midwest. The path was not easy because it included moving 6
times in the span of 5 years, doing nuclear treaty assurance and then
acquisition work at Air Force's Materiel Command. The operational
aviation work was been good,
but I'm happy moving back toward science and technology management
while continuing flight activities in civilian capacities.

But it was a nice message stating that I "was so attractive"! Could not be anything but a blind or short-sighted spammer. The sender was referred to as "Curiouss_Girl" ... What a program!

Scale 4x4 Presents Let's meet one of our Top BuildsThe scale RC hobby has come a very long way in the last dozen or so years. There once was a time where if you wanted something and it wasn't available, you made it yourself. MrMunster had a desire to have a mini version of his 1:1 Series III Land Rover and took scale building to an all new level. From the hand formed aluminum panels, to the 1mm screws fastening body panels together, this build is nothing short of spectacular. He has real glass windows that slide, doors that open and close, and unlike most real Land Rovers, this one works. MrMunster's Land Rover build is one of the reasons we have the Top Builds Section and we are pleased to say that his build can now be found here. Hand formed aluminum bodyYes, that is a working door latch.

It has already been a long three years since Flying Lotus released his last album You're Dead, but there have been several signs (new live dates, for instnace) that made me wonder if there's new music coming at us soon. Most promising of all is the unveiling of this new music video, which ends with the word "Shudder" in bold red letters – possibly the album's name.
So much for speculation, let this not keep you from enjoying this living collage directed by Winston Hacking.

'Stop the Bus' exuded all the quirks of life on the road and provided sock-rocking guitar playing.
'Apologies' started with the kind of piano playing reminiscent of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. The cottony-soft ballad about past love soaked audience members with its sincerity, which oozed like raw honey.
During 'Big White Gate,' Grace seemed to take on the persona of a woman who hadn't always walked the straight and narrow. She sang with a sense of sadness, 'My body's aching from laying in this bed/I went singing in the rain and the cold got to my head/I don't know who's paying/I just know what the doctor said/Eighty-four years of a sinning life and in the morning I'll be dead…' With the feel of redemption and reflection, came country-fried vocals.
A fierce cover of Robert Johnson's blues-laden 'Come on in my Kitchen' kept the crowd grooving. While 'Toothbrush and My Table,' with its lyrics about demanding stuff back from an ex, combined witty lyrics and hip-smacking hootzpah.
At one point all members converged on the drum kit, each slamming and slapping the skins as if they were one well-oiled music machine. While this act sounded tribal, the very appearance was as uninhibited as toddlers going to town on mama's cast iron skillets.
A trippy cover of Jefferson Airplane's 'White Rabbit,' that would have made Grace Slick turn emerald with envy, brought the psychedelic vibe out in full feed-your-head force.
The encore came on slow like a tornado gracefully picking up speed and fury.
'Nothin' but the Water' started with the simple tinge of tambourine and Grace's voice billowing out.
Eventually the band jumped in head-first providing powerhouse instrumentals that matched Grace's locomotive tone. 'Come on water sweet water wash me down…,' Grace sang like a sinful saloon singer who was desperate to be water bound.
The girl can belt it out. Whether she is swaying her red mane around while busting out dance moves on a piano stool or gingerly tapping the tambourine, Grace proves she can hold the audience's attention as if it were a monarch butterfly cupped between her strong hands.
This night was dizzyingly fun. What started with a shot of whiskey in the form of White Buffalo was topped off with a night cap of sweet Frangelico by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. Warm, fully-bodied and completely organic, these acts boldly reminded us of the potency that pure art can possess.

There are vampires in Spain. But then you knew that, didn't you?
Because they're everywhere; as much a part of our world as we are. Children should be taught to look out for them. Not vampire children, obviously – the other ones.
Don't believe everything you read in the literature. They'd hardly be very difficult to spot, would they, flying around on batwings, fangs dripping with the blood of their latest victim? If it was that easy I imagine we'd have dealt with the problem a long time ago. Tales of seductive counts, entranced maidens, crosses and stakes through the heart should be taken with a pinch of salt.
And let's clear something up for once and for all More

TIRExB statement on the functioning of the TIR Convention in the Russian Federation after 1 July 2014
1 July 2014
At its fifty-ninth session (Geneva, 30 June - 1 July 2014) , the TIR Executive Board adopted the following statement on the functioning of the TIR Convention in the Russian Federation after 1 July 2014:
"At its 59th session (Geneva, 30 June – 1 July 2014), the TIR Executive Board, the intergovernmental body supervising the application of the TIR Convention, 1975, took note of the decision of 30 June 2014 by the Federal Customs Service (FCS) of the Russian Federation to, once more, prolong the existing guarantee agreement between FCS and the Association of International Road Carriers (ASMAP) until 30 November 2014.
At the same time, TIRExB reiterated, with regret, that FCS continues to implement measures that contradict the provisions of the TIR Convention and that lead to severe restrictions on the use of TIR Carnets in all regions and almost all customs offices of the Russian Federation. These restrictions negatively affect TIR Carnet holders conducting TIR transports with the Russian Federation and, ultimately, have serious consequences for international transport and trade as a whole.
TIRExB appealed to the Russian government to restore the proper functioning of the TIR system on the whole territory of the Russian Federation by lifting, without further delay, the restrictions imposed on TIR Carnet holders.
TIRExB requested the TIR secretariat to transmit this statement to the authorities of the Russian Federation and to post it on the UNECE and TIR websites."
The statement by TIRExB has equally been issued as a UNECE pressrelease.

District Prohibits Christmas Colors
I wasn't sure how far this Christmas thing was going to be taken. You'll find plenty of schools that have already banned Christmas cards, Christmas songs, and Christmas plays. I'm not even sure there is a school district left that doesn't refer to Christmas Break as "Winter Break." But prohibiting Christmas colors?
Green and Red have somehow arbitrarily been chosen to represent the holidays. They have absolutely no religious meaning. They in no way promote Jesus or Christian beliefs. They are colors for crying out loud! This school district not only promoted 'white' napkins and plates, but reminded the students not to wear green or red to their parties. Did they go into their desks and pull out all the green and red Crayola's?
We can't possibly ask all of our schools to not even acknowledge one of the most celebrated holiday's of the year. We're dumbing these kids down so much they won't even realize why they can't say Merry Christmas to a classmate.

Student Caught Using Firefox gets Detention
And why not? Teenagers know more about the internet now that probably 90% of school faculty. To a teacher this most likely just looked like the kid was up to something wrong, so he handed out the detention slip. What's more interesting is how the administration attempted to change the story into a more plausible excuse for the punishment. This probably doesn't sound too familiar: Teachers over-reacting then trying to cover their tracks by shifting the blame. The school should thank him for using Firefox. It probably freed up some bandwidth that day so some math teacher could look up kiddie porn.

McDonalds Advertises on School Report CardsSmells Like: budget , diet , Florida , grades , health
And we thought Channel One was a money-making scam?
Basically, McDonald's is paying for the printing costs, and in exchange they put pictures of the Golden Arches all over the report cards. And the school went for the idea. They said they needed the money. Apparently there is a lack of healthy options for a business partner in the state of Florida. But no, it's a great incentive for getting good grades. Fast food!
Is Hershey's going to take over Houghton-Mifflin and start publishing school books? Maybe Cheeto's is thinking of running Rand McNally out of the map business. If school is going to become one big commercial, they need to start assessing what long-term message they are putting out there. Is McDonald's really the best answer for cutting into a budget problem? Was recycled paper not mentioned at this meeting? Or how about this, it's 2007, email the freakin report cards!

Dallas High School Bans "Hoodies"Smells Like: dress code , policy , Texas , violence
In a related story out of Dallas, student absentee rates have risen this winter due to large outbreaks of sore throats and pneumonia.
The justifying cause for this was to make students more identifiable when fights break out. Here's an idea: Let's re-evaluate our discipline policies rather than make irrational dress code decisions. If you want to figure out which kids are fighting, trying seeing who is coming to school with black eyes and scratched up knuckles.
There's a large majority of the student body suffering because they can't wear a hood anymore. This uses NO logic. Hoods are completely indirectly related to fights, but they've become the victim. What group of idiots decided this is the best way to resolve an issue with school fights? Why not just give every student an inmate number? That should make it easy to spot the bad eggs. It's a shame on a daily basis more and more innocent items have become forbidden at public schools.

Student suspended for prank done at homeSmells Like: cell phone , pranks , technology , Texas
Two girls and three boys were each given 3-day suspensions for looking at a picture on a cell phone. Does this mean I should have served punishment every time me and my friends would sneak one of our dad's porno mags to look at?
This is getting ridiculous. All of a sudden the jurisdiction of school's power can go wherever it wants to hand out sentences to kids. If we keep allowing administration to tighten the vice grip they have, we're only going to encourage negative reactions. Teens are already for the most part angry at adults and looking for a reason to rebel. Let's not make it so easy by giving them reasons such as this.

Assistant Principal Arrested in Marijuana Sting
I guess this guy was absent the day D.A.R.E came to school.
How can someone consciously punish a student for throwing paper airplanes in class, while harvesting weed in his backyard at home? Hypocrisy is a funny thing. We set up these walls and guidelines that children must closely abide by for 12 years, but the one's enforcing the rules live in a dream world where drugs are legal.
What are we teaching students when we constantly see teachers in trouble with the law? I am gonna have a hard time following the dress code the day after I learn my Asst. Principal is a pothead. It's no wonder most people aren't prepared for life after high school because they are so confused when they get out and the real world hits them like a steam engine. They are literally blind-sided by the fact that all these so-called rules in the Student Handbook have absolutely no practical application beyond the hallways.
But seriously, if I found out my principal was growing weed I would question the integrity of every teacher I had. Then again, we were taught not to question things.

Students Suspended for Repeated Hugging
That sounds about right. If we are not going to tolerate violence, we are certainly not going to promote peace.
These students were deemed repeat offenders?! Try telling that to a 17-year old serving a life sentence at Pelican Bay State Prison for armed robbery and attempted homicide. Where are we coming up with these punishments?
Valentine's Day must be a nightmare at the school. Are sports teams allowed to celebrate after victories? Or does that fall under the 'No Contact' jurisdiction as well. God, how many high school girls cry after every time they break up with a boy and hug their friends all day?
We have always heard the threat "This will show up on your permanent record." If one actually existed there has got to be a room full of people having the time of their lives reading the reasons people are getting suspended. Is hugging such a nuisance or are we again just giving too much power to administration?

Game of 'Tag' banned from school playgroundSmells Like: Colorado , recess , tag , weird
Game of 'TAG" Banned from School Playground
Pretty soon adults will have no way to relate to our youth. The schools have stripped just about all the classic games like Tag and Dodgeball to make the playground a safety zone. So a kid gets a scraped knee? It heels. But apparently the humiliation of being chased at recess never will.
We're in a time where everyone is pushed to become equal. We can't weed out the athletic from non-athletic. Little girls can't chase little boys. We don't play games that people can get 'out' and everyone gets a trophy just for trying. What's the incentive for excelling? Does this sound familiar at all? I wanna say Communism failed because the same basic principles proved to be flawed. Why are we trying to raise every child to be exactly the same? Isn't the idea of failing supposed to motivate you to try better next time or learn from your mistakes? What ever happened to, "If at first you don't succeed?"
But it's OK, because now if you don't succeed at first, someone will lobby to make policies so that no one else is allowed to succeed either. It must have not been fair to begin with, so it must be eliminated from schools.

The Peanut Butter Sandwich Under Threat
But Jelly reigns supreme! (For now at least...)
If you haven't been around a school in a while you might think this is a joke. But apparently over the last decade or so we've begun to breed completely intolerable children with almost mythical allergies. That's right, since so many kids can't be around peanuts, school have started to ban the product. No peanuts, no peanut butter, no snickers bars, they won't even let them watch Peter Pan the movie.
Is this a scam? Did Smucker's start poisoning kids to have the monopoly on sandwich dressings?
It has become the base definition of segregation. Students who bring peanut products in their lunches are removed and placed at their own tables. This must make complete sense to a 9-year old. Try explaining to them that their lunch is the reason they can't sit with their friends. I can see them years down the road in high school sneaking jars of Jiffy in their locker cause it's just too hard to kick the habit.
What's going on here? Is anything left that can be taken away?

Students Suspended For Talking About Nooses
"In the wake of the recent events at..."
This is going to be every Principals cop-out for a long time. All it takes is a couple of degenerates from the backwoods of Louisiana to ruin it for everyone. We're not taking away from the meaning that might be attached to the hateful past of the noose, but now even conversations about it are being censored?
Let's start by adding a course in African-American history to the curriculum before we jump on every race-related issue. It wouldn't hurt to educate whites, blacks and everyone else to matters that might have an impact. (As much as algebra is actually used in a day-to-day basis.)
Here's what happens next in this story, you've just pit the white community versus the black community because parents are upset over suspensions. Congratulations. How's this for a punishment, have the white kids write a 3-5 page paper about the history of the noose.
Zero Tolerance has taken on a completely different meaning. Principals are so quick to pound the gavel and toss out suspensions like beads at Mardi Gras. Do us all a favor and teach kids what they're doing wrong instead of adding fuel to the fire.

This is the easiest equation to solve. Spend one week talking with elementary school students and you'll learn real quickly.
Junk food is not the issue. Junk food has been around forever. It was probably kids that came up with the phrase "junk food." They've been eating it for years. So why is the youth all of a sudden at risk for high blood pressure and diabetes?
Because they don't exercise. Recess has been cut from 70% of schools across the country. They have half the amount of physical education as ten years ago. Let's not blame school districts for signing multi-million dollar contracts with Pepsi and FritoLay, let's blame them for not exposing kids to enough cardiovascular activity. To but it simply: Let kids play. They're freaking kids. With their metabolism rate, they could run 100 yards and burn off all the calories from a Juicy Juice they had at lunch.
Get them excited about playing outside, and they will do it at home. Video games are flying under the radar here because they're too busy taking the fall for violence. But that's what the youth is more interested in.
Congress, here's your research. Let kids play, and they won't be fat.

Michigan student suspended for wearing "I'm Straight" sticker
Let's review the facts. A public school actually participates in an event that celebrates (or at least acknowledges) homosexuality as a choice. Students are asked to wear duck-tape over their mouths to signify "silence." One student decided to declare that he is straight by writing it on the duct-tape.
A couple things aren't adding up. 1.) Since when can schools force students actively participate in such a ceremony? 2.) When did schools determine what beliefs students must have? and 3.) At what point in the story did this boy tie a homosexual to the back of his truck and drag him across town?
To my knowledge this kid wasn't spewing Anti-Gay comments or rallying his friends to commit hate crimes. He simply objected to purpose of the event. Fair enough.
The school isn't gonna win the church argument, so let that one be. It seems almost anything is considered inappropriate now. Every time one person stands up for themselves, it is deemed a distraction. This school should just start campaigning to demand students buy into a flat-tax economy, and then convince them that the Native Americans peacefully forfeited their land to us. Maybe we need to start educating every Kindergartener that Santa Claus is not real.
Everyone has ideas and everyone has beliefs. If they're wrong, let's learn why and create discussion. It seems too many schools have the attitude that "We're doing it like this, and you're gonna like it. Bottom line."

Suspension Over Gun Doodle Raises Questions About School Security Policies
I wonder if district budget allows for Art Class at this school? If so, watch out! Every project needs to go through a screening to determine if the artist is a threat to security.
This was a picture of a laser gun and the student was given five days of suspension. There has got to be a study that evaluates the negative side effects of disciplining students for ridiculous reasons. Sitting him out for five days can only give him enough time to draw pictures of tanks and armies right? Do pictures of guns on paper shoot paper bullets too? Then I can understand the actions taken.
I went to school with a kid that constantly drew pictures of Godzilla attacking villages of people. But for whatever reason, I don't recall the day he summoned a giant lizard to breathe fire on our entire student body.
There are generations and generations before that played backyard games named "War" and "Guns." In these games we used plastic life-like guns and ran around shooting each other. There were no bullets, just kids yelling "Bam!" Never once did anyone transfer this imaginary part of childhood into a mislead rage before the morning bell. The biggest problem it ever caused was two kids arguing over who shot who first. The solution? A re-do.
Pictures of guns don't kill people, kids who get bullied (while teachers don't help) who have access to their dad's gun cabinet and no sense of hope left, kill people. It's only a matter of time until we re-write the history books and take out all the acts of violence. Well, there goes the history of America.

I was very eager to start this blog.
I'd just finished a Lord of the Rings marathon; I read all the books and then watched each movie (twice).
So you can imagine my mind was a bit preoccupied with LOTR at the time. I needed a blog title, and "I Know What Hunts You" is – you guessed it – a Lord of the Rings reference.
Specifically when Aragorn asks Frodo if he's frightened – Frodo replies, "Yes," to which Aragorn says, "Not nearly frightened enough. I know what hunts you."
Bah dah dah dum.
It might have been a good title for a blog post, but it wasn't the smartest choice for my blog name and URL, which is not as easily changeable.
Still, I'm seriously considering changing my blog name, maybe relocating my blog, and I'd like your help! If you have any ideas for a blog name that fits the scope of my blog, please let me know. Nothing's too silly or obvious, so leave your thoughts in the comments, or contact me directly.
If I end up using your idea, you'll get a special mention!!

Easter Sunday is fast approaching and when one thinks of traditional Easter food, eggs of course come to mind! But of course for vegans this is not an option. To read more about why vegans refrain from eating eggs, check out our previous blog titled The Truth About Eggs. Most vegans are used to traditional foods served for holidays including Deviled Eggs. We have put together a tasty alternative to traditional Deviled Eggs with our Eggless Deviled Bites. These are a terrific appetizer and wonderful to bring along to family events. Who knows you might encourage friends or family to eat vegan. Enjoy this tasty traditional recipe and Happy Easter from all of us at Autonomie.
Vegan Eggless Deviled Tofu Bites
Prep Time: 30 Minutes Makes: 16-20 Bites
1 lb Organic Firm Tofu
1/2 lb Organic Silken Tofu
2 Cups Warm Water
1/3 Cup Organic Vegenaise
2 Tbl Organic Yellow Mustard
2 Tbl Organic Relish (dill works best)
1 Tbl Onion, finely minced
1 Glove of Garlic, finely minced
2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp Tumeric
Paprika, for garnish
Organic Cherry Tomatoes, for garnish (optional)
Drain and rinse the firm tofu and slice in half vertically. You can then cut into 1 inch squares or if you are feeling creative, cut into oval shapes with a pairing knife. The ovals will give it more of an authentic "egg" look but the squares will do just fine. In a large bowl combine warm water and only 1 teaspoon salt. Place your tofu cubes or ovals into the water and allow them to marinate while you prepare the filling. Finely mince the onion and garlic and set aside. In a large bowl combine the silken tofu, vegenaise, mustard, relish, onion, garlic, remaining salt, pepper, and tumeric. Mix this thoroughly until smooth. Drain the tofu ovals or squares and arrange on a plate or serving platter. Use a paper towel or cloth to soak up any excess water on the ovals/squares. With a spoon or scoop, place a dollop of the filling mixture from the bowl on top of each bite. Sprinkle the bites with paprika and place a cherry tomato in the center, if you choose. Any left over filling can be used as a cracker dip or sandwich filling. You can serve immediately or keep in the fridge to harden.

Stricter abortion rules get the nod
AUSTIN — The same day the U.S. House voted to ban abortion at 20 weeks, Republicans in the Texas Senate at least temporarily abandoned a similar proposal and instead approved a bill to tighten regulations on clinics, doctors and abortion-inducing drugs.
The Texas measure by Sen. Glenn Hegar, R-Katy, was approved 20-10 late Tuesday, after hours of deliberation. After receiving final approval, the bill will go to the state House, where Hegar said he hopes the ban will be reinstated.
The federal ban isn't expected to become law, given opposition in the Democrat-dominated U.S. Senate and from President Barack Obama, but was seen as an important statement by Republicans in Congress.
Hegar said he eliminated the 20-week ban from his measure because he wanted to advance abortion-related proposals that had the best chance of passage with a week left in the special session called by Gov. Rick Perry.
Hegar also highlighted the fact that lawmakers have yet to finalize proposals on other issues including transportation funding.
"The question becomes for me, what can we pass out of this chamber, out of the House, and ultimately make it to the governor's desk that one, raises the standard of care; No. 2, protects life; and makes a significant advancement in dealing with the last seven days of this legislative session," Hegar said.
Some Democrats suggested Senate Bill 5 and its changes are rooted in political calculation, without enough time for lawmakers to gauge their consequences.
Some raised concerns that the proposal would result in diminished care for women. Perry added the abortion issue to the special session just last week.
"You are ... certainly taking away a woman's right to control her own body," said Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, who called the measure "a politically expedient proposal."
The bill would require abortion facilities to meet the standards of ambulatory surgical centers, which critics have said will cause mass closure of clinics.
Backers of the measure said clinics could upgrade if they chose.
It would require doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles, which critics say would impose a requirement that isn't mandated for many other surgical procedures.
The measure also would impose requirements for administration of drugs to induce abortions that backers say follow recommended protocol but critics say would enshrine outdated and potentially harmful language in law.
Similar measures failed to make it to the floor for debate in the regular session, when different rules were in place that gave power to Senate Democrats by requiring a two-thirds vote for bills to be considered.
That threshold no longer is in place in the special session. Democrats do have some bargaining power, however, because a two-thirds vote is required to pass the transportation proposal favored by GOP Senate leaders, since it's a proposed constitutional amendment.
Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, a San Antonio Democrat who's a pharmacist, said she was concerned that the proposal on abortion-inducing drugs would require adherence to an outdated dosage regimen that could cause more side effects than current practice.
An amendment by Sen. Bob Deuell, R-Greenville, later changed the provision to allow the dosage currently used by doctors.
Sen. Carlos Uresti, D-San Antonio, said the proposal would mean the closure of all abortion clinics in 16 of the 17 counties in his sprawling district — all except Bexar. He said that means an estimated 150,000 women wouldn't have the service in their counties.
Not all Democrats opposed the legislation. Sen. Eddie Lucio, D-Brownsville, is a co-author.
"My faith tells me that life begins at conception," Lucio said. "This is not about choice. This is about a child."
Sen. Sylvia Garcia, D-Houston, said there's no real evidence the legislation would raise the level of care, saying it instead would reduce access by causing clinics to close.
"This is really fuzzy logic," Garcia said.
Sen. Bob Deuell, R-Greenville, disagreed that clinics would close, saying owners should be able to afford changes in facilities.
"This is a money industry," Deuell said.
He also responded to a comment by Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, that the measure is meant to feed "red meat" to GOP primary voters.
"I would submit there's some other red meat being thrown around here for primaries on the other side," Deuell said.

J. Holiday
Laid-back Washington, D.C.-based R&B vocalist J. Holiday (born Nahum Grymes) signed to Capitol and released the Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins-produced single "Be with Me" in 2006. The full-length Back of My Lac' followed in October 2007 and was a major success due to singles like "Bed" and "Suffocate," both of which were co-written by the-Dream and topped the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Capitol re-released Back of My Lac' at the height of its popularity, in February 2007 -- the album topped the R&B/Hip-Hop chart -- adding three tracks to the original sequence as well as a DVD containing a handful of videos. Holiday's second album, the more romantic Round 2, was released in March 2009. Rather than retrace steps, he collaborated with this time with a mostly different set of songwriters and producers, including Maurice "Big Reese" Sinclair, Ne-Yo, and the Platinum Brothers. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi

ummm i want to discuss about this because many people predict that world war 3 will come very soon, it was said that after 9/11 happened 555 days after it is world war 3, of course it didn't happen, people predict that World war 3 will start because China will attack Taiwan, I ask my parents about this and my parents said 80% China will attack Taiwan, after that North Korea will attack south korea and U.S will get more problems in the middle east, what you guys think?
The problem with Shadowlink's post is lack the of timeframes. WW3 is predicted to happen soon? How soon is soon? Your parents think there is an 80% chance China will attack Taiwan. An 80% chance based on what? Is there a reason for the 80% or a timeframe in which this will happen? North Korea will probably never attack the South and the U.S. will ALWAYS have problems in the Middle East.
Elven Fury wrote:I think India and Pakistan or Israel and Palestine is a more viable option for an immediate cause right now...
but... what would an attack at the olympics precipitate?
Your scenarions would make more sense although still unlikely for the most part, especially India and Pakistan.
An attack on the Olymipics is a VERY real threat currently. Only time will tell on that matter though.

To achieve truly high returns at stock investing, an investor should start their search for hot stocks with Industry Sectors. No matter how bad a company's financials may be, no matter how overvalued a stock is, if a company does business in a hot Industry Sector, the stock will usually move up with the industry.
Just recently we saw the price of gold and oil rising. Naturally, all the companies involved in those areas shot up. Many stocks were going up 300% or more within months. These are the stocks you want to be in.
To find these hot Industry Sectors you can use Yahoo Finance (a free source) or a paid service such as Investor's Business Daily. IBD lists 197 Industry Sectors. I've never bothered to count how many are listed at Yahoo Finance, but it could be close to the same.
With so many Industry Sectors how does one find the best ones? I like to use a 10-Day Price Delta. What this means is that I will take every stock in a sector and add up it's gain or loss over the past 10 trading days. I then divide that total by the number of stocks in that sector to get an average return for that Industry Sector. I then do this for all 197 Industry Sectors. I know this sounds like a lot of work, I like to be precise.
If you use an Industry Screener you can do it rather quickly. IBD, and other financial websites will keep a list of the top industry groups. You can use those if you like as a starting point for your stock searches.
Once finished I now know how much each sector gained or lost over the past two weeks of trading. I then select the top ten Industry Sectors. It is only now I begin my search for the next hot stock. Only the stocks in the top ten Industry Sectors will even be considered for inclusion on my buy list.
One word of warning though. Stock investors can be fickle. An Industry Sector that is hot this week can be out of favor next week. Likewise, that stock that shot up 300% can come crashing down VERY quickly if the sector cools off. I suggest you run your check on the top Industry Sectors weekly. If the Industry Sector you are in has dropped off the top ten list, I suggest you consider getting out.

Energy Conservation Tips
All suggestions listed are from the city staff
- Cook meals in bulk; enough for two days and warm next day or freeze where possible.
- With the nice weather, do most of the cooking outside on the barbecue. Use the side burner to cook anything one would normally cook on the stove, and use the BBQ grills to cook food one would normally cook in the oven.
- Invest in a toaster oven if living alone so one doesn't have to heat up the oven in the stove for a single portion of something.
- Defrost food in fridge or sink instead of oven, stove or microwave.
- Let your dishes air dry; if you don't have an automatic air-dry switch, turn off the control knob after the final rinse and prop the door open slightly so the dishes will dry faster.
- After a hot bath, don't pull the bathtub plug until the water has cooled off. The heat stays in the house, instead of warming the sewer system!
- Shorten the shower and bathing time.
- Install low-flow faucets and showerheads. It can save about half the amount of water you typically use in the shower, while still providing a refreshing, cleansing shower.
- Turn the tap water off while brushing your teeth, shaving, or washing your face.
- Install a programmable thermostat. Do without air conditioning, install ceiling fans, and use only as necessary.
- Lower the temperature at home when no one is at home. Sometimes use candles for fun with the kids instead using the light.
- Maintain good ventilation at home if possible by opening all the windows. Also, provide light colour and reflected blinds behind the windows to stop the solar heat coming from outdoors.
- Renovate the house for better energy conservation by orienting large windows to the south, in order to take advantage of natural sunlight and radiant heat and reduced window openings to the north where the cold winds are, therefore cutting down on heat loss. This allows for natural light to set in for the majority of daytime.
- Close windows at the hottest times of the day.
- Use a good old fashioned broom to sweep the walks and driveway (instead of the electric/gas blowers that pollute through exhaust and noise).
- Replace all the garden lights with the solar type.
- Replace all the entrance lights with the motion detection type so that the lights will only come on when objects detected.
- Install rain barrels, so not only does one recycle the rainwater water for garden use, but the water runoff is prevented from draining into the basement which requires electric sump pump to pump into the storm sewer.
- Plant trees or shrubs to shade air conditioning units, but not to block the airflow. A unit operating in the shade uses as much as 10% less electricity than the same one operating in the sun.
- Open your windows to air out your house occasionally, otherwise moist, humid air is trapped within which takes more energy to heat than cool, fresh air.
- During the heating season, keep the draperies and shades on your south-facing windows open during the day to allow the sunlight to enter your home and closed at night to reduce the chill you may feel from cold windows.
- During the cooling season, keep the window coverings closed during the day to prevent solar gain.
- Consider using an interior fan in conjunction with your window air conditioner to spread the cooled air more effectively through your home without greatly increasing your power use.
- Install exterior or interior storm windows; storm windows can reduce heat loss through the windows by 25% to 50%.
- Low-growing evergreen shrubs planted beside basement walls help keep warmth in and winter winds out.
General Power Savings
- Use power bars for appliances so that they can be turned them off at night or when they are not in use.
- Replace all the light bulbs with the energy efficient light bulbs (CFL or LED). Unplug the chargers for cell phone, camera, computer etc. when not in use. Turn off the lights when not required.
- Do not put lights on in the house before 7 PM during the summer months and 5:30 PM during winter months.
- Lower the temperature of the water tank heater - not only does this conserve energy, but it prevents hot water burns.
- If possible, replace the old appliances with the new energy conservation type.
- Obtain domestic hot water from the solar system if affordable.
- Install heating pipes in the floors for radiant heat flooring; it cuts heat consumption cost by 30 to 40%.
- Wrap you hot water heater with insulation and the bottom 2/3 of your cold & hot water pipes with insulation.
Laundry Room
- Hang heavy clothing to dry in the laundry room and then fluff dry for 10 minutes.
- Wash clothes using full loads - twice a week off peak hours.
- When the weather is good, use the outside clothes line. Use energy conserving bulbs in every socket possible.
- Have the laundry room on the second floor and have a bi-fold door. In a cold day or in the winter, leave the door open so the heat from the dryer will warm the house as well.
- Use compact dryer racks in the basement; it takes only overnight for most things to dry. The only thing that takes 2 days to dry is jeans and if you have enough pair of them you don't run out.
- Use a high efficiency front loading washing machine. It saves on water and electricity for reduced time for cleaning and drying. It uses about 40% less water and about 50% less energy.
- Do all laundry in cold water!
- Separate the clothes for washing into weight, e.g. Wash a full load of jeans, wash a full load of towels, etc.
- Wash before 7 AM or after 7 PM.
- Dry towels and heavier cottons in a separate load from lighter-weight clothes.
- Clean the lint filter in the dryer after every load to improve air circulation.
