Pump Systems
Pumps are used widely for daily operation in industry to provide process fluid movement, cooling and lubrication services, or the motive force in hydraulic systems. In the manufacturing sector, pumps represent 27% of the energy used by machine driven systems.
Dramatic energy and cost savings can be achieved in pump systems by applying best energy management practices and purchasing energy-efficiency equipment. Use the software tools, training, and publications listed below to save energy in pump systems.

I tap the brake, downshift to second and throttle through rounding the Grand (formally Loews) hairpin with, if not the same precision of an F1 racecar, certainly with the goodness of its technology. Approaching the downhill stretch, which leads to Portier corner, I throttle up and again brake for the bend, looking for the correct turn-in point. As I correct for the straight, I take a moment and marvel at the mega-yacht-lined marina. My co-driver and course navigator says, "Step on it." I oblige and proceed to paddle shift through third and fourth with rapid abandon. Track conditions are perfect; it is mid-day, the sun is shining and suddenly everything goes dark as we motor through the tunnel. My co-driver cracks his window and smiles. "Listen to that," he says. It's the sound of VW's turbocharged 2.0-liter GTI at 6800 rpm echoing off the tunnel walls. Though pale in comparison to the ear-deafening scream of an F1 engine at 18,000 rpm, it's a wonderful sound nonetheless. The location? A breath taking section of Monte Carlo's famed Grand Prix circuit. My co-driver? None other than new VW of America boss Adrian Hallmark. We're on hand for the international launch of VW's fifth-generation GTi. Can a test drive possibly get any more challenging? Hardly. Can there be a better setting? Not a chance.
While we did make a partial lap on the historic course, most of our time was spent on equally carefully calculated, albeit less traveled roads throughout the Cte d'Azur.
As stated, the car features VW's already popular turbocharged 2.0-liter FSI direct injection powerplant with 200 bhp, 21 hp more than the outgoing 1.8T and on par with the 2.8-liter VR6 from the same departing model. Mash the throttle and those horses hit the road with loads of torque for hearty acceleration. For those die-hards who prefer rowing their own, a sporting six-speed manual comes standard. The car also gets an optional six-speed DSG automated manual with Tiptronic and Sport modes. This is the package we tested this time around, as we had already spent time in the manual several months prior.
I must admit, as much as I prefer a manual gearbox, especially for more sporting driving, the DSG quickly removes any feelings of lost love. In fact, the DSG not only improves the performance dynamics, it actually adds to the overall driving experience. Not just because of the race-inspired paddles, which are certainly fun, but for the super smooth gear changes. Upshifts transfer in a blink of an eye. Ditto for matched-rev downshifts. Conveniently, it also allows you to drop into either full automatic or Sport mode. It's a marvelous package and well worth the $900 or so investment. VW predicts half of all GTI customers will request the option. They'll be happy to know their car will also come equipped with a nice dead pedal so their clutch foot doesn't get lonely.
Initially introduced State-side in 1983, the GTI was received with great enthusiasm. Not long after, it was credited as the first affordable "pocket rocket," which later helped usher in a new segment of hot hatches. In those days, a feisty 90-bhp, 1.8-liter fuel-injected motor powered the car. The first GTI also sported blackout trim with red accents and sport seats.Similar blackout treatment with red accents has returned on the latest offering. So has the exuberant driving experience thanks to a fully independent, sport-tuned suspension, a first for the GTI. The car will sit 0.4-inches higher (same as the Golf V) than its European counterpart due to U.S. 5-mph bumper restrictions. This unfortunately leaves a larger fender gap than we'd like, even with the optional 18-inch BBS alloys. A little aftermarket tweaking will easily remedy this for those who prefer a more hunkered-down look. As far as the ride, however, I couldn't imagine a better balanced setup. It's not overly rough, nor too soft. It's certainly more poised for performance, but not at the sacrifice of comfort. This is a car you can drive every day and never grow tired or dread imperfect road surfaces.

Nice staff awesome,poor breakfast eggs not included,rooms very well,close to the airport private beach..for the price is good comparing anothers high inclusived"
Truly a gem of a resort. Upon hearing about our honeymoon they upgraded us to their oceanfront bungalows and gave us champagne which we enjoyed on our front porch looking at the ocean and the stars. You must get an oceanfront bungalow as u are steps from the beach and the setting is just perfect while the beach out front (1 of 4 private beaches) is not thr main beach used so it's like u have the beach to yourself. The rooms use shutters but they have installed bug screens on the shuttera to keep the bugs out. Rooms are older but very clean and i'm going to repeat what i read on another review - this older style just adds to the charm. Kinda got a "cottage" feeling while there. Food was a little on the sub par side. Amazing reef infront of the main beach and they offer snorkel gear. We were able to see a group of cuttlefish among others species."
4 perfectly relaxing nights. Good sleep, good food, good location. Sorry to leave."
We only stayed for 2 nights, but wish we could have stayed longer. Everything was on point, from the location to the staff to the facilities to the food/drinks. Our personal favorites were the outdoor shower with ocean view, the mini-fridge drinks included in the rate, the great location at the end of the beach, and of course the wonderful staff. Also, I have a bias against all-inclusive resorts (usually think of cheap buffets, slow service and watered-down drinks), but Cocos Beach was the exact opposite - every meal was a pleasant surprise. Thanks Cocos!"
Coco Bay Resort has the advantage of a beautiful location - right on the beach, views in every direction, stunning pools, excellent food. But perhaps what stands out is the pride the staff take in their hotel and their effort in making sure that your holiday meets your every expectation."
Good hotel, amazing view, good food and good service. However, we didn't like that it wasn't right on the coast and we didn't like the noisy road. The all-inclusive had a few niggling restrictions (breakfast wasn't buffet), the hotel was a bit tired in places and some of the staff were not as good as others. We changed to Bluewaters after a few days which was better in all respects."
it was perfect and the location was great. the staff was friendly and helpful. a good balance of being able to just relax on the beach and do nothing as well as walk around and eat at a nice restaurant. also close to other areas for day trips."
Nice comfortable hotel. Great for a small group hanging out on vacation. Nice beaches within walking disatance,"
We recently had a three-day stay at Lighthouse Bay Resort. This is without a doubt the most beautiful beach that we have ever seen. This is literally the only hotel on a lengthy strip of Caribbean beachfront. We spent hours strolling up and down the lengthy beach on the Caribbean side, which was almost like having our own private beach. We had a wonderful room which was modern, spacious and accommodating, with a great bathroom. One of the best features of this hotel is the staff and management. We were provided with excellent attention from Rose and Gail, who answered all of our questions. We also had the benefit of a tremendous on-site chef, Steven Lustig, who prepared our meals and with whom we spoke several times during our stay. Our meals included fresh local lobster, seared Ahi tuna, excellent mahi-mahi, perfectly grilled steak, delicious jumbo shrimp, and great lamb chops. One very important issue is that it is critical that you know whether your stay is all-inclusive or not. You must confirm this before purchasing the hotel stay. If you do not purchase the all-inclusive package, please be aware that the restaurant prices are extremely, sometimes shockingly, expensive. For example, just to give you an idea, a cup of coffee costs ten U.S. at the restaurant. You do not have other dining options, given the remoteness of this property. We highly recommend this hotel (on an all-inclusive package), and we would absolutely return to this beautiful piece of paradise."

Say what you want about the year Gemballa has had, but you can't deny that when these guys buckle down and bring their lunch pails to work, they're one of the best in the business when it comes to tuning high-powered sports cars.
One product line that has been associated with Gemballa has been the Mirage GT, which is based on the Porsche Carrera GT . Over the years, Gemballa has released a number of Mirage models based on the Carrera GT, including the Carbon Edition , the Matte Edition , the Black Edition , and the Gold Edition . Recently, the German tuning company released the latest iteration of the super aggressive Mirage GT, christening it the "Matte Blue Edition".
Similar to its predecessors, the Mirage GT Matte Blue Edition is powered by Gemballa's own V10 engine that produces 650 horsepower and 464 lb/ft of torque, up from the standard output of 612 horsepower and 435 lb/ft of torque the standard Carrera GT comes in. Those figures translate to a 0-62 mph time of 3.7 seconds (down from the stock version's 3.9-second time) with a top speed of 208 mph, which in turn is up from the Carrera GT's 205-mph top speed.
Aerodynamically, the Mirage GT Matte Blue Edition comes with the same aerodynamic kit as all the other special edition models, which is to say that we expect Gemballa's rather over-the-top aerodynamic package on the front, side, and rear of the car to be highlighted on the Matte Blue Edition. Likewise, this version of the Mirage GT will also carry the same interior treatment, including the carbon seatblends, and the two-tone - in this case, its black and white - leather finish.

The NAACP is holding an information session about its planned gun buy-back program at 6 p.m. at a northwest Atlanta church as part of ongoing efforts to cut back on gun-related violence in the community.The group would like to hear from the community at the informational session at Mount Ephraim Baptist Church Family Fellowship Center at 1202 West Marietta Street. The event is part of Project Rescue Atlanta, being called Phase 1. Note: No guns will be bought back at the June 19 event. Please do not bring firearms to the event!The NAACP held a similar event in May, at which Atlanta NAACP President Dr. R.L. White referenced College Park's gun buyback in February. Some of the guns brought to that event were purchased were old or inoperable. He says the goal is to recover firearms that are a real threat to the community."We don't want people getting guns out of the closet they had in there 50 years and just selling it to get some money. That's not what we're trying to do," White said.White says gun violence has dominated the newscasts and headlines in metro Atlanta for far too long.In addition to calling for people to help get more guns out of the wrong hands, the Task Force is soliciting community support, ideas, suggestions, funds, questions and concerns to help make the effort a success.

Wedding Programs
Peacock Pizzazz Wedding Program Fans Our wedding is outside in October in Texas, so you never know what the temperature or weather will be like. To be safe, I wanted to order program fans for convenience in case some would prefer a "breeze" during the outdoor ceremony. I absolutely LOVE them!! The Peacock Pizzazz design is absolutely gorgeous!! That is what our wedding invitations were done in, and I have had countless people tell me that our invitations are, hands-down, the most beautiful and elegant invitations that they have ever seen...men included! And if a wedding invitation can make a man smile, you know you've got a winner. ;-) I would recommend this design to any bride!!

Love the progam fan!
Square Motif Wedding Program Fans The website was a bit challenging for me to get the design I wanted on the fan, but the staff was very fast and efficient in helping me to put exactly what I wanted on the program. The fans are well-made, sturdy, professionally printed and a very good price. The only very, very slight downside is that some of the wooden handles are not totally smooth so may have splinters; but I am sure that is the case with any wooden handle. I would highly recommend this site for program fans.

Matthew Message - November 20, 2012
November 20, 2012
With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. You are physically and emotionally feeling the effects of energy surges more so than seeing their remarkable results. We are feeling and seeing the grand forward thrusts the surges have given the planet and most of its residents: Gaia, Earths soul, is joyous about her planetary bodys nearness to the threshold of fourth density; hope for better times is being restored within people whose living circumstances are desperate; and newly awakened souls are sparkling all over Earth.
A world full of other marvelous happenings is on the way, but in the days at hand, the in-pouring of high vibrations also is having some unwelcome effects, like the roiling intensity at the negative end of dualitys spectrum. Perhaps at this moment it is most noticeable in the tense Israeli-Palestinian confrontation. We hasten to assure you, the time for a full blown new war is past, todays enemies will evolve into peaceful, cooperative relationships, and any country waging war against another will be unthinkable.
On a different front but also due to increasingly high vibrations, many are experiencing conditions such as weakness, disorientation, forgetfulness, fatigue, sudden mood swings and other uncustomary sensations. In healthy bodies that have absorbed light, the anomalies are few and brief as these bodies crystalline cells adjust more easily to energy fluctuations than can the carbon-based cells of bodies with less light.
Please do not use any of those symptoms as a barometer for assessing how much light is within you! Chronic maladies and forms of mental illness still affect bodies in Earths atmosphere, and souls who are radiant with light may continue to experience those discomforts until theyre well within fourth densitys strong healing vibrations.
To lessen the severity and duration of the temporary anomalies, get sufficient sleep, avoid stressful encounters, drink a lot of water, have solitary serene time as often as possible and eat wisely. Vegetables and fruits are especially beneficial and less meat, sugar, starchy foods and fats in the diet also will help to lift energy levels, reduce fatigue and stabilize a positive outlook.
We strongly suggest that you not resort to antidepressants or other prescription drugs or the many that are lining store shelves. Particularly in the prevailing energies, the chemicals in drugs can suppress or destroy bodies own healing mechanisms. If you are on a medically-prescribed regimen, consult with your healthcare giver about safely reducing dosage.
Another effect of Earths proximity to fourth density is that linear time is passing more and more swiftly. If you are reaching days end feeling frustrated because there was no time to handle all responsibilities, set your priorities and please dont fret about foregoing what could not be fit in.
The prevailing vibratory levels contributed substantially to quite a different kind of matter, too. The Illuminati, who thought that not only could they cling to their remnants of control, but rebuild their former worldwide power base, now know that their situation is hopeless. They had pinned their hopes and put their money on Mr. Romney winning the US presidency.
That countrys people and the rest of the world see President Obamas re-election as the voters choice. It was that indeed, but his victory is more than the vote countit is a manifestation of science, a reflection of the energetic flow of the universe. The presidents vision of a peaceful world restored to its former health and beauty and his goals to achieve this are aligned with Earths vibratory field. The goals of Mr. Romney are to keep the worlds resources and vast fortunes in the same few hands, and this is not in alignment with Earths vibratory field.
Like all other sources of negativity, the low vibrations of greed and control are incompatible with the high vibrations of love that are flowing ever more abundantly throughout the world and bringing Earth back into a healthful state of balance. The energy within balance is love-light, and nothing with low vibrations can coexist with this most powerful of all energies in the universe.
The fact that the election outcome was in consonance with the universal flow, as the Golden Age master planners long ago knew it would be, did not diminish one iota the free will choices of the United States citizens. Each voted in accordance with his or her reaction to the energy emanating from the candidates.
Please understand that this is neither criticism nor judgment of the voters or the candidatesit is explaining the election result in the context of laws that govern life in this universe. The same holds true for the congressional elections in that country and all elections in every other country where the citizenry have a choice of candidates for leadership roles.
The laws are affecting not only national governments and governing bodies from village level on upwherever negativity still has a foothold, high vibrations are causing shake-ups to separate the wheat from the chaff, so to say. This can be as close to home as family, neighbors and co-workers and as seemingly remote as multinational corporations, the United Nations, military forces, religions, education, law and justice systems, and information outlets around the globe.

I am taking a very low dose of an ACE inhibitor (Atacand) foa about a month and a half. I'm taking it because after having severe preeclampsia, I was still spilling a small amount of protein in urine (~250g/24h) and my blood pressure is borderline: above 120/80.
I lost a baby in February and since then, I have not been as depressed as I was this last month. I know it was Christmas, and everyone feeling happy with their families, but this is gone now, and I'm still fighting it. I have these awful dreams with people and kids dying or sick. Last night I had a better one... I was in a wheeling chair but I was ok, moving around happily. And then I can't actually seem to be able to achieve anything: either stick to some excercize or accomplish something. I am eating, sleeping, working, but that's about it.
I'll call my doctor, but I'd like to hear your insights or similar stories. Thanks!

PARIS/BERLIN (Reuters) - Car sales in France and Spain rose for the fifth straight month in January, suggesting the recovery in Europe's autos market is strengthening following a six-year slump.
The figures add to broader signs the European economy is emerging from a protracted period of weakness which weighed heavily on consumer demand, particularly in the debt-laden southern countries of the region.
Sales of new cars in Spain, Europe's No. 5 autos market, increased 7.6 percent year on year last month to 53,436 vehicles, car manufacturers' association Anfac said on Monday, helped by government subsidies.
In France, Europe's third-largest car market, new registrations edged up 0.5 percent to 125,477 cars, industry association CCFA said, keeping its forecast for stable to slightly higher car sales in the country this year.
"The European car market is beginning to slowly head in the right direction," said Jonathon Poskitt, head of European forecasting for LMC Automotive, predicting western European sales to grow 3 percent to 11.85 million vehicles in 2014.
Swedish new car sales surged by 19 percent in January, added Bil Sweden, whose members represent 99 percent of all new registrations in the country.
In France, Renault's
Larger French rival Peugeot
South Korea's Hyundai <005380.KS> and affiliate Kia <000270.KS> reported a combined 27 percent sales drop, but Toyota's <7203.T> registrations rose 10.5 percent.
French delivery van sales fell 7.7 percent to 27,388 vehicles in January, the CCFA, taking total light vehicle registrations to 152,865, a 1 percent decline.
Italy is expected to publish car sales data later on Monday while Europe's top market Germany is due to release January delivery figures on Tuesday.

More often than not, the act of creation is ultimately a solitary affair. Artists have to face down their "blank page", that tabula rasa for ideas, concepts, and executions, and do something with their piece of raw material - clay, glass, wood, metal or fiber. As the artist Chuck Close puts it, "Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work."
Yet, while facing down their demons, craft artists know they are not alone. They have the ongoing experience of community as support group. Traditions prevail. When dozens of countries gave us their tired, their poor and their huddled masses, they also gave us a rich tradition of craft that lives today in big cities and small towns wherever cultures have come, stayed and called home.
Einar and Jamex de la Torre, Quita Pone Bean Pot, 2005
It is the imprint of diversity on our artistic identity. The mark that is common to those who believe in perpetuating a culture through the physical world, not just the spoken or written word.
Community is spirituality. Scores of Native Indian tribes have passed on their own creationist cultures through the oral tradition of storytelling, and reflected in their physical crafts, from pottery to painting to beadwork. In the 21st-century, the legends, mysteries, and messages remain constant, interpreted anew by the latest generation of the same communities.
Denise Wallace creates extraordinary jewelry that, through a visual representation of her emotional connection to her Native Alaskan roots, conveys a depth of story-telling that mere words could not. People, places, animals and symbols of her native culture are all integral to her craft world.
Denise and Sam Wallace, featured in the Community episode have passed on their passion of jewelry onto their children, Dawn and David.
Community is religious. The Shakers1 instill a way of doing things with ethics and a higher spirit. They are evidence of the inseparability of craft and community where occasionally the former is so strong, it outlives the latter. Few Shakers survive today; soon, because of their rules of marriage, the group will simply die out. What will survive of the Shaker community will not be its practitioners, but its design aesthetic, witnessed in their handwork.
Community is vitality. Todays craftspeople are creative and committed to their studios and their ways of life. They come together at craft shows that are national, regional, or local. Not to mention hundreds of local Ys where thousands of men and women push themselves beyond their daydreams and daytime jobs to develop skills from instincts.
Community is continuity. Its wellspring is bottomless, further found in every direction among teachers, students, and schools, from the traditions of North Carolinas Penland School of Crafts to Howard Universitys historic craft school in Washington, D.C. Schools like Berea College in Kentucky have a rich tradition of students working their way through college in their craft shops.
Iron Symposium at Penland School of Crafts
The singular approach at Michigans Cranbrook Academy runs deep throughout their entire curriculum, and has for going on a century. The vibrant list of graduates and their mentor-instructors reads like a whos who of the craft world. This is craft as communal family tree: Skills taking root in the rich campus soil, and reaching out through each and every student who leaves its gates.
1 The Shakers, a Protestant religious denomination officially called the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, originated in Manchester, England in 1772 under the leadership of Mother Ann Lee, who moved the nine-person group to New York in 1774.
The Shakers' furniture was an attempt to apply the Shaker philosophies of equality, modesty, confession and faith and the shaker search for order and harmony, to the mundane objects of everyday life. Their dedication to hard work and perfection resulted in a unique style of architecture, furniture and other handicrafts. Shakers designed their furniture with care, believing that making something well was in itself, "an act of prayer". They never fashioned items with elaborate details or extra decorations, but only made things for their intended uses.

Additional police officers and security guards will be assigned to Hillsborough County schools Monday, officials announced.
Hillsborough County school officials are taking the measures in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., school shootings Friday that killed 20 young students and six adults inside the Sandy Hook elementary school.
Hillsborough School Superintendent MaryEllen Elia is sending out an automated phone message today to notify parents of Monday's plans.
There have been no threats made against any Hillsborough County school. The goal is to increase the visibility and presence of security and school resource officers as a precaution.
"Also, the head of psychological services has been sharing tips with principals and has made plans for school psychologists to be ready to respond, if necessary," the district said in a written statement.
The shootings in Connecticut, beieved to be at the hand of a 20-year-old gunman who then shot himself, have resulted in nonstop media coverage. President Obama was scheduled to visit Newtown Sunday to mourn with parents and the community. The children shot and killed were first-graders at the school.
The Hillsborough County School District is the eighth largest in the nation. The increased security and law enforcement will be focused on elementary schools Monday.
What do you think of Hillsborough's plans for Monday? Tell us in the comments section below.

Here at TFS, we believe there are too many benefits to going solar to count. If you are counting, here are a few of our favorites.
In Tucson, about 90% of our electricity comes from burning coal and natural gas, which have serious impacts on the environment and local air quality.
The average size electric system for Tucson is 6kW, which is what you would need if you spend on average $100 each month on electricity. Whether you need a larger or smaller system, each kilowatt of solar that you install will, in one month:
• prevent about 145 lbs. of coal from being mined and burned,
• save over 70 gallons of water from being used,
• prevent about 325 lbs. of CO2 emissions, combating global warming,
• reduce sulfur and nitrogen emissions, contributors to smog and acid rain.
Americans use on average 5x more electricity in our homes than we did just 20 years ago. Lower or eliminate your electric bill, and protect yourself from escalating electricity costs by going solar.
Purchase your system outright and realize savings with a 30% federal tax credit and a $1,000 state tax credit. Recoup your investment in 10-14 years, depending on the size of your system.
We donate a portion of our profits to help nonprofits in Tucson, through our Pass the Sunshine program, and in some years we have offered a Solar Grant. Go solar and help the local nonprofits that you love go solar, too.

FLORENCE, Ariz. (AP) - Four inmates from the Arizona State Prison Complex Eyman in Florence are hospitalized with suspected botulism poisoning.
Pinal County authorities say the source is believed to be contraband prisoner-made alcohol.
They say the process to confirm botulism takes time, but proactive treatment can begin after consultation with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Once the CDC receives preliminary confirmation that botulism poisoning may have sickened individuals, the CDC authorizes the release of anti-toxin to the state.
The CDC has released the anti-toxin to the Arizona Department of Health Services, which is delivering it to the medical providers who are treating the affected inmates whose names haven't been released.
Authorities say 3 of the four inmates are reported to be in stable condition with the condition of the fourth undisclosed.

Today, members of the Marine Animal Entanglement team at the Center for Coastal Studies in Provincetown (CCS MAER) successfully freed a juvenile humpback whale entangled in fishing gear off the coast of New Jersey.
The whale was spotted yesterday by a marine mammal observer aboard a dredge working in the area. The entanglement was reported to the U.S. Coast Guard, who remained on stand-by overnight to monitor the animal and keep the area clear of boaters.
NOAA Fisheries, the Federal agency charged with the monitoring whale populations, contacted the CCS MAER team yesterday afternoon, and the Provincetown responders have been at the scene since 8 am this morning.
Scott Landry, Director of the MAER program, reported that the humpback had line wrapped around its tail and was effectively anchored to the seafloor. Landry and fellow CCS MAER responder Jenn Tackaberry made a single cut through the line and the gear dropped away. After a few minutes the whale swam off, gear free.
Landry noted that, while the whale did sustain some injuries to the tail, but the prognosis is good.

Thanksgiving Costs More Again
Louisiana cooks shopping for Thanksgiving will find the costs of traditional dinner items up for the second year in a row. The 2013 Thanksgiving market basket will average $48.50 for 10 people, according to an LSU AgCenter survey. "That's an increase of $4.15 from last year's Baton Rouge average of $44.35 - or an increase of 9.35 percent," said LSU AgCenter family economist Jeanette Tucker. The Louisiana survey was based on an American Farm Bureau Federation shopping list that includes turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, rolls with butter, peas, cranberries, a relish tray of carrots and celery, pumpkin pie with whipped cream and beverages of coffee and milk, all in quantities sufficient to serve a group of 10. The cost of a 16-pound turkey at $22.19, or roughly $1.38 per pound, reflects an increase of 23 cents per pound or a total increase of $3.74 per whole turkey. "This is the largest contributor to the overall increase in the cost of the 2013 Thanksgiving dinner," Tucker said. According to data and forecasts released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, turkey production for 2013 is expected to be down by roughly 2 percent from the previous year. LSU AgCenter agricultural economist Kurt Guidry said factors like processing, transportation and other transaction costs of getting the product from the farm gate to the final retail product also can affect the retail prices. While fuel prices averaged roughly 1 percent lower through the first three quarters of 2013, they still remain at historically high levels, Guidry said. Natural gas and electricity prices have moved higher in 2013, potentially adding to the costs of processing and transporting products from the farm to retail. "The rise in turkey costs could also be a function of the high prices of competing meat products. Beef, pork and broiler prices are all higher in 2013 versus 2012, and the high retail prices of those may be providing some spillover support to turkey prices" Guidry said. While this year's price increase is substantial, Tucker said, turkey is a consistent bargain for the frugal shopper - healthy, delicious lean meat for around $1 per pound.
Sugarcane May Propel Next Bayou State Boom
When Louisiana Spirits Distillery held its grand opening in Lacassine last week, bartenders poured Bayou Breeze cocktails out of big glass jugs that were decorated with sculpted silver alligators. But, as The Advertiser reports, rum wasn't the only reason spirits were high. Many in the crowd, including Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne, viewed the new $5 million project as a sign that the Interstate 10 corridor between Lake Charles and Lafayette was ready to boom-not only with oil and petrochemical products, but also with sugar. Dardenne reminded the crowd that Etienne de Bore, New Orleans' first mayor, was the man who discovered how to crystallize sugar in 1795. The distillery will make its Bayou Rum with sugar it buys from M.A. Patout & Son in Iberia Parish. And sugar, as well as oil, will propel job and construction growth in this new economic boom scenario. "I just got back from New York where I was visiting the rating agencies-Moody's, Goldman Sachs, Standard & Poor's-to explain there are $80 billion in projects getting ready to launch," Dardenne told those in attendance. "[Lafayette City-Parish President] Joey Durel was with me. I can see this new boom in sugar refining having the sort of impact on Jeff Davis and other rural parishes that the oil industry has on Youngsville and Broussard. Lafayette is the city where business is done, but industry employees enjoy the restful atmosphere of the more rural bedroom communities so they start moving there." Read the full story.
Lucas Calls This Week the Farm Bill Deadline
Frank Lucas - House Agriculture Committee Chairman and leader of the Farm Bill Conference Committee - says farm bill leaders need to have a draft of the farm bill by the end of this week if it's to become law before the end of the year. Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Debbie Stabenow expressed hope the leaders could release a framework by the end of the week or shortly thereafter. These committee leaders aren't alone in their desire to make a big push forward in the farm bill negotiations. Nebraska Senator Mike Johanns - former Secretary of Agriculture - sent a letter to the leaders of the farm bill conference committee Tuesday. He said as conferees aim to wrap up this week - it's crucially important to be more honest about the risks in the direction some are trying to take. Johanns said it will distort the ag economy, raise trade concerns and skew the market for farmers and ranchers for years to come. He said producers need the certainty of long-term ag policy - but deserve a farm bill that helps them sell goods on the global market - not one that distorts it. Johanns even said an extension of the current farm bill - something he has opposed - would be better than an outdated farm policy. Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley also focused on the idea of recoupling target prices to planted acres in a statement Tuesday. Grassley said he's hearing Chairman Lucas and his staff are trying to convince people there is no reason to be troubled about concerns regarding planted acres. But he said enacting the House commodity title - where extremely high target prices for some crops are coupled with planted acres - would take us back to a time when farmers planted for the government instead of the market. On top of that - Grassley noted concerns of World Trade Organization challenges.

I've been busy with living. I was working two jobs, but I think both of them are gone now. One is closing up maybe? The other I didn't bother showing up for.
Mostly I've been spending all of my time with my boyfriend. We started dating on November 16th, and I could probably count on one hand, the nights we've spent apart from each other.
I moved out of my apartment, and started living in a house with two roommates and a cat.
I am stressed about money, but happy with my body, my relationship, and most things.

On the days that they worked, employed men worked about three-quarters of an hour more than employed women.
This difference partly reflects women's greater likelihood of working part time. However, even among full-time workers (those usually working 35 hours or more per week), men worked slightly longer than women—8.2 versus 7.8 hours.
Among part-time workers, men averaged 5.2 hours on days they worked and women averaged 5.4 hours.
The data in this report are from the American Time Use Survey. To learn more, see "American Time Use Survey—2007 Results," (HTML) (PDF) news release USDL 08-0859.

We live in Downtown and due to some renovation work in our home, we stayed at the Residence Inn for 6 weeks. I cannot say enough good about this hotel. The rooms are huge - and if you need the space, get the 1 bedroom - it is totally worth it. High ceilings, separate bedroom and bathroom and a full kitchen. We were on the 6th floor, and our housekeeper, ABC, is fantastic. The room was spotless, she was always exceptionally friendly - can't say enough good about her. Every morning there is breakfast - and ABC (she runs breakfast) is so friendly and helpful and personable - she made my morning every day. The front desk (ABC - everyone!) were all super friendly and helpful. We needed to keep extending our stay and they were always soo accomodating. And the groundskeepers - these guys are wonderful. Funny, kind, personable.. I simply can't say enough about how wonderful the staff is. They really go out of their way to make sure your stay is fantastic. The hotel gets a lit of traffic, and ...

You would want your romantic getaway to feel magical and nuanced from the moment you enter the special place that you've chosen for your private escape. This Marriott may not be that place for such a getaway. \nParking is inconvenient - behind the hotel unless you're lucky enough to find proximate on-street parking. But beware, if you do park on the street, you must wake up early in the morning to beat the Meter Maids who seem perversely delighted in fulfilling their job. \n \nThe room - a suite - and our romantic time together was the best part of our little adventure, as should be the case. But it would've been nicer to have had better customer service along the way. \n \nThe courtesy morning breakfast was okay, too.

There was a concert going on. The Hotel was a night mare. They sold all other parking spaces for $40 that night and the concert crowd trashed the out side grounds with trash and beer bottles and even partied in the halls after midnight in large groups. The cops had to kick them out I WILL NEVER GO TO A SUPER 8 AGAIN !
Staff was slamming doors and using vacuums and power tools in the hall way outside our room from 3 am to 6 am !! !!! Horrible experience I WILL NEVER GO TO SUPER 8 AGAIN !!!!!!

It was by far the worst Super 8 I have ever stayed at. The breakfast was constantly missing cinnamon rolls and there was a constant line at the waffle machine (because the waffle machine, microwave and cereal were all crammed into the same corner). The waits for breakfast was so long, that I gave up on the second day and started walking to the McDonalds around the block. One day, I didn't even receive maid service. The bathrooms needed some paint touch up. There wasn't a place to hang my clothes. By far, the worst hotel I have stayed at in a while.

renovation was ongoing during our stay and there was no advanced warning of such work going on, as a result the lobby and the hallways are dirty, dusty, noisy, and smells funky. the renovation work was not properly phased/staged to allow guests to have access to the rooms without passing through the work area. the room that was given to us was the first room from the construction work and even when I want to rest during the day I couldn't because of the noise. the room was also across the hall from the breakfast area and some people were noisy in the morning, the loudest was a fire inspector talking to a hotel staff and I could hear their entire conversation in my room. the room that was assigned also had a few issues - the phone never worked even after I complained about it several times; the lights in the bathroom was flickering, it was fixed after one complaint but they replaced one of the bulbs but not the other resulting in a weird lighting; the shower water was never stable, warms up for a few minutes then drops to cold water for a few then goes back up to warm again; they also forgot to service the room on one of the days that we stayed.

I helped my friend shoot a music video recently for a band called More Than You'll Ever Know. It was a lot of fun and this was the outcome. Check it out and feel free to re-blog to help get the word out there.
Set up complete and ready for the four confirmed bookings for tonight. Shit is going to get wild. (Taken with Instagram)
Fantastic suggestion. Thanks Netflix! (Taken with Instagram at North Ferriby)

I'm I'm Vienna, Austria. It was cold today and it actually snowed which, was lovely. I took a walk earlier to get away from the venue and also to get a little exercise. I think I'm holding up my diet out here okay. Anyway, I met a nice family from Hungary who had travelled for the show. They were really excited an that made me happy. I enjoyed my walk.
Not selling merch on a tour is boring. All I have to do is film a little, take some pictures and hand out some promo packs. I feel like I'm not doing anything and it sucks. I got told I was in the way by Asking Alexandria's merch guy today. Apparently taking up a corner of a table is too much and if I was going to stand behind merch "all night" he'd set me up a table elsewhere. Firstly, is he joking? I was taking up the absolute minimum space required. Secondly, I was there for between 5-10 minutes after the opening bands and then maybe 20-25 minutes after AA finished, you know, to do my job that a company sponsoring the entire tour is paying me to do. Fucking Americans, amirite?!
Besides that and besides being a little isolated, the tour, all of two days, has been good.
Tomorrow, day 3, is Milan. I like Italy, I think.

So, here I am. Day 1. It's only a short run in Europe but it's a new experience being on a tour bus out here. Last time I was touring in Europe was with Sleeping With Sirens in a van.
It's cold. -7c currently. I'm sat in the front lounge of the bus, on my own, waiting for something to do. I've met 2/5 of the asking Alexandria's so far.
I'll report back later with any goings on.
Steffen xo
Tomorrow I fly out to Munich to join up with the Asking Alexandria tour. I'm going to be doing some promotional work for Impericon.
I have to blog and take pictures/videos for them but I'll try and post some of my own on here.
I'm not going to lie, saying I'm excited would be a massive exaggeration. I'm hoping for the best but expecting the worst. However, I am looking forward to testing out my new snow boots and to put my North Face jacket to the test. I don't think it's going to be above zero the whole time I'm out in Europe.

The reason my blog is entitled that is because, awhile back, I used to be in a band. Now, in that band there was obviously a singer. That singer didn't always sing. I couldn't really do anything about that, besides tell him repeatedly, so I decided to start this blog to vent my anger.
I don't think I've ever explained that before just in case he happened to check my blog. Now, I couldn't care less.
I can't wait to get my new band up and running. The demos that have been put together musically, thus far, have been fantastic. I can already tell the level of musicianship has been raised tenfold and, with the addition of a singer that can actually sing, I'm very excited to be able to show my friends, family, fans what I have been sitting on. Music should be driven by passion and hopefully these songs will show just that.

* For all of the frustrated ones: there's a video walkthrough thread at We Create Stuff > Portal: TFV's forum, and some community help. Good luck :)
We started working on this project a couple of months ago, and now, it is finally done. Lately we've been working on this project none stop, acknowledging if we release it after the real Portal - we fail, and our test will be terminated ( ;). So yes, the last piece of code of this game was programed just a couple of minutes ago. Don't worry - those minutes were on bugs!
Portal: The Flash Version includes over 40 challenging, portals thinking levels, which features almost every feature the real game does, in 2d - energy balls, cubes, turrets and even the famous crusher from the trailer. The game also includes a console to mess around with after finishing the game, or just being frustrated by thinking with portals (Commands are posted in our forums)
Left mouse button - launch a portal.
A W D - movement
Q - launch a blue portal.
E - launch a yellow portal.
R - Close both portals.
F - pick up an object.
~ - open up console (enable through the options)
O - quick quality adjust.
Esc/P - pause game.
Version history:
The game really is heavy on levels 30 and up. We did our best to optimize it, but if you still have a low frame rate simply change your quality and effect settings.
If you find any bugs, please report.

Selection Process & Calendar
Selection Process
Selection as a White House Fellow is based on a combination of the following criteria:
- A record of remarkable professional achievement early in one's career.
- Evidence of leadership skills and the potential for further growth.
- A demonstrated commitment to public service.
- The skills to succeed at the highest levels of the Federal government, and the ability to work effectively as part of a team.
All these qualities combined with the strength of one's character, a positive attitude, and the ability to work well with others are taken into consideration when selecting a class of White House Fellows.
The selection process is very competitive. There can be as many as 1,000 applicants for the eleven to nineteen fellowships. The White House Fellows Program office processes the applications and former Fellows screen the applications to identify the most promising candidates. Approximately 100 of the most qualified applicants are selected to be interviewed by eight to ten regional panels, which are composed of prominent local citizens. Based on the results of their interviews, the regional panels select approximately thirty candidates to proceed as national finalists.
All national finalists are required to undergo comprehensive background investigations to ensure that they qualify for the security clearance necessary for their fellowship work assignments. Every year, the President's Commission on White House Fellowships, which is composed of approximately thirty outstanding citizens who represent a broad range of backgrounds, interests, and professions, selects a class of White House Fellows. Members of the Commission are appointed by the President; some have served through several administrations and some are former Fellows. During selection weekend, the President's Commission on White House Fellowships interviews finalists at a location near Washington, D.C. After spending selection weekend interviewing, interacting with, and observing the national finalists, the Commission recommends those individuals it finds most qualified for the fellowship to the President for appointment as White House Fellows.
- Applicants must be U.S. citizens.
- Employees of the Federal government are not eligible unless they are career military personnel.
- Applicants must have completed their undergraduate education and be working in their chosen professions.
- There are no formal age restrictions. However, the Fellowship program was created to give selected Americans the experience of government service early in their careers.
The Commission awards Fellowships on a strict non-partisan basis, and encourages balance and diversity in all aspects of the program.
The online application will be available on November 1, 2013 and must be submitted with supporting documents by January 15, 2014 at 5:59 PM (EST).
Calendar and Procedures
January 15, 2014 at 5:59 p.m. EST
Application Deadline
Applications must be submitted online on or before this date. Instructions are provided under "Apply Online".
Regional Finalist Selection
Applicants are notified in March if they have been selected as regional finalists. If selected they will be notified of the time and location for regional interviews. The regional finalist list is posted on the website and is announced by the White House Press Office. Panel interviews are conducted during March and April. Regional finalists must keep a flexible schedule until panel assignments are announced. It is not likely that the assignment can be changed. Regional finalists must submit extensive security background investigation forms upon notification of their selection.
National Finalists Notification
National finalists selected from the regional interviews are notified at the beginning of May. The national finalist list is posted on the website and announced by the White House Press Office. All national finalists undergo background investigations before proceeding with the selection process.
Selection Weekend
National finalists are interviewed over a 2 1/2 day period by the members of the President's Commission on White House Fellowships. Lodging and airfare in the United States are paid by the Commission.
Presidential Selection
The White House Press Office announces the President's official selection of the incoming class of White House Fellows.
Placement Week
Fellows interview with principals in government agencies during Placement Week which generally occurs in the middle of July. The Director determines the placement of each Fellow in a work assignment. Lodging and airfare in the United States are paid by the Commission.
August 26 to August 26
Inclusive dates of the Fellowship year.

Two hours after officially becoming the new governor, Mike Pence started signing new executive orders.
One order shifted an education board's oversight away from new State Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz's office.
Ritz is a democrat that resoundingly beat Republican Tony Bennett last fall.
Former governor Mitch Daniels moved the board the domain of the State Superintendents office but now that there is a democrat in that office that doesn't agree with the some of the things that Republicans want, Pence reversed course.
Ritz was a republican before the election and switched so that she would have a chance of beating Bennett.
Ritz said she was "upset" over Daniels' executive order in the first place and had no problem with Pence's move.
After signing the orders, Pence had a meeting with legislative leaders of both parties to discuss his agenda for the 2013 session.

I came across this sample bottle whilst looking in on the Grill the other night. Its the `04 Sovereign Opal from Calona Vineyards (BC). Agri Canada has developed this varietal for bottling by said winery and a google search can be productive.
Basically a marechal foch cross with golden muscat. Medium straw colour, floral nose, mint, muscat style. Fat and round on the palate with big citrus on finish.Apple, peach and nectarine. I was quite surprised how good this was, an excellent white meat food wine.
I am not a big fan of Calona wines but this is a good effort. Bravo!
