Project Description
Research Triangle Institute (RTI), in collaboration with its partners, will develop and evaluate an advanced solid sorbent-based CO2 capture process that has the potential to substantially reduce the parasitic energy requirement and costs associated with capturing CO2 from coal-fired flue gas compared to conventional aqueous amine CO2 scrubbing. A promising molecular basket sorbent (MBS) from Pennsylvania State University (PSU) will be combined with RTI's circulating, fluidized, moving-bed reactor (FMBR) process design concept and thoroughly evaluated at bench scale on actual coal-fired flue gas to demonstrate feasibility of the process concept. Developed through previous DOE projects, PSU's MBS exhibited many of the desired performance characteristics for use in the RTI CO2 capture process. The MBS comprises a CO2-philicpolymer, polyethyleneimine (PEI), loaded onto high surface area nanoporous materials. The sorbent has demonstrated high CO2 loading capacity and thermal properties that could greatly reduce parasitic power requirements for CO2 capture. In the current project, researchers will transition the existing MBS material from a highly-promising, laboratory-scale fixed-bed adsorbent to a fluidizable, attrition-resistant CO2 adsorbent that can be effectively utilized in the proposed capture process. In a previous DOE project, RTI developed a cyclic, thermal-swing process design based on continuous sorbent circulation through dual FMBRs for CO2 adsorption and sorbent regeneration. In the current project, the FMBR design will be evaluated under CO2 capture and sorbent regeneration conditions to prove that it is an optimal solid sorbent-based process design. It is anticipated that this effort will demonstrate the FMBR's exceptional heat transfer characteristics, its potential for reducing process pressure drop, and the advantages for sorbent circulation versus multi-vessel, gas-switching approaches. The advanced sorbent will initially be tested in a single laboratory-scale fluidized bed column. The results will be used to design and fabricate a continuous-flow bench-scale system based on RTI's two-column CO2 removal process concept. After the completed bench-scale system is fabricated and tested in the lab, it will be tested on flue gas from a coal-fired boiler at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH). This field testing will demonstrate long-term thermal, chemical, and physical stability and the CO2 capture and sorbent regeneration performance of the MBS sorbent and FMBR process technologies. The data obtained during the field test will be used to prepare a design for a full-scale unit and to conduct technical, economic, and environmental analyses.
Project Benefits
The mission of the U.S. Department of Energy/National Energy Technology Laboratory (DOE/NETL) Existing Plants, Emissions, & Capture (EPEC) Research & Development (R&D) Program is to develop innovative environmental control technologies to enable full use of the nation's vast coal reserves, while at the same time allowing the current fleet of coal-fired power plants to comply with existing and emerging environmental regulations. The EPEC R&D Program portfolio of post- and oxy-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions control technologies and CO2 compression is focused on advancing technological options for the existing fleet of coal-fired power plants in the event of carbon constraints. Pulverized coal (PC) plants burn coal in air to produce steam and comprise 99 percent of all coal-fired power plants in the United States. Carbon dioxide is exhausted in the flue gas at atmospheric pressure and a concentration of 10–15 percent by volume. Post-combustion separation and capture of CO2 is a challenging application due to the low pressure and dilute concentration of CO2 in the waste stream, trace impurities in the flue gas that affect removal processes, and the parasitic energy cost associated with CO2 capture, recovery, and compression. Sorbent-based technologies, which adsorb CO2 onto a solid sorbent, have the potential to effectively reduce the energy penalties and costs associated with post-combustion CO2 capture for both new and existing PC-fired power plants. The advanced, MBS-based CO2 capture process is anticipated to have reduced parasitic loads and lower capital and operating costs for CO2 capture from coal-fired power plants than conventional technologies, and holds potential to meet the cost and performance goals set by DOE. The development of the MBS-based process also advances the solid sorbent CO2 capture field, and the process engineering and design work will represent important advancements for most solids-based CO2 capture systems. Primary Project Goal
The primary project goal is to conduct a bench-scale demonstration of RTI's CO2 capture concept using novel MBS materials, coupled with preliminary design, optimization, and economic analysis of a full-scale system, to show the potential for this technology to meet the DOE goals of capturing at least 90 percent of the plant CO2 while increasing the cost of electricity by less than 35 percent. Objectives
Project objectives are the (1) optimization and production scaleup of advanced MBS materials in fluidizable form, and development of associated fluidized-bed process technology; (2) collection of critical process engineering data using single-stage testing equipment to allow for detailed design of a bench-scale CO2 capture prototype based on MBS materials; (3) bench-scale demonstration of effective and continuous CO2 capture from coal-fired flue gas using a MBS-based process system; and (4) demonstration of the technical and economic feasibility of a commercial embodiment of the MBS-based CO2 capture process through a detailed technology feasibility study. Planned Activities
Complete a preliminary technology feasibility analysis of a full-scale, MBS-based CO2 capture process.
Improve the thermal and chemical stability of base PEI reactant while transitioning fixed-bed MBS material to a fluidizable form.
Develop computational fluid dynamics models of the MBS-based fluidized-bed process.
Design and fabricate a bench-scale, single-stage FMBR.
Conduct baseline experiments to characterize the performance of the single-stage system using second generation fluidized-bed MBS material.
Design and construct a bench-scale, continuous-flow FMBR CO2 capture process based on laboratory data.
Produce an advanced, third generation, fluidized bed MBS material.
Perform shakedown testing and commissioning of the continuous-flow bench-scale prototype at RTI's Central Utility Plant facility.
Install the continuous-flow bench-scale prototype to operate on a small slipstream of flue gas at the UNC-CH's Energy Services Department's coal-fired cogeneration plant.
Conduct parametric field testing for at least 1,000 hours to investigate the effect of actual, coal-derived flue gas on long-term sorbent and process performance and reliability.
Produce an updated technology feasibility study using information collected during the bench-scale field tests.

Deshaun Watson is the TRUTH!
Well to be fair he did have a couple badass throws, but when we needed him to kill the clock & score he failed.
You are totally right. Matt Moore starting doesn't bother me as much as shoring up the o line and getting a better GM
Since 1971
founded 1971
could u please admit that u hate moore and love henne. i admit that i like moore, just please admit that u do not like moore. its not that u just want to see more from him, u hate him. please admit it, i beg u.its ok if u do, but just say the words.
He also had a badsaa stat line aswell, but he failed to put the game away.
yeah he had issues catching snaps no doubt but he threw too many balls with guys open that were errant...he's just not all that accurate a qb...and on the td marshall did catch you got to lay that ball out in front and let him run under it...if you do thats an easy 6 and newman never gets a hand on marshall...i mean marshall had newman beat anytime he wanted to vertical drop those balls in out in front...
and the throw in the red zone on 3rd down to clay where he was wide open and if he catches and even turns his body its a 1st down...that throw was horrid...how the hell do you miss that throw under no pressure as a pro starting qb...give me a damn break...
3rd down late in the game bess comes across throw it out in front he throws it 2 steps behind him...marshall on a post earlier in the game he makes a good read but the throws too far out in front almost picked by newman but marshall got a finger tip on it...
taking sacks he can't take...not a bad stop gap but not the answer
hoops scoops 2012 season ..."in 2014 ryan tannehill etches his name in stone amongst the games elite qbs"..."ryan tannehill and andrew luck will carry the afc for the next decade plus the way peyton manning and tom brady have this last decade plus"
for the love of god get a real freaking mike already!!!
Those sacks he took killed us. He missed easy receivers at the most inopportune times (Clay on 3rd and 5). He has a great deep ball that much is certain, but when he is pressured he is like a deer in headlights.
now tell me how it's different. I bet I can go find some threads about how the cleveland loss was all hennes fault. even though he had the team in the lead in the 4th qtr.
I'm not going to tell you I hate matt moore because I don't. I've told you in other threads that I dont' hate him... can you not read or do you have trouble making sense of what I type when I write... " I don't hate matt moore"...
I'm pretty sure I said something to the extent of I want to see moore close a game out, or bring us back from behind to see if he's got what it takes. Today I got my first glimpse of that. Maybe in his next chance, the outcome will be different.
furthermore.. I have told you that I have moved on from chad henne. I only brought up the cleveland game because some folks on here who have an obvious love affair with the guy, after proclaiming him best since marino, after our three game streak... have already started in with the same excuses the henne folks used, and everyone said it was BS...

Do you have a will? If you're like nearly two-thirds of Americans, you don't.
With the downturn in the economy, many older people may think that getting or updating a will is hardly a priority, especially if they don't have a big estate.
But you do need one. Even if your assets are small, a will can help loved ones avoid squabbling over what little there is and carry out other important decisions you've made. For instance, in a will you can declare whom you want to be the guardian for minor children or dependents.
If you die without a valid will, you risk having very personal questions settled by a third party administrator, usually appointed by a probate court.
Is getting a will expensive? It can be, but there are also numerous free resources to help you draw up a new will or update an old one.
- Wills on Wheels. After her handicapped son died, Jean Turner of Denver needed to update her will for her three surviving adult children. But Turner, 79, had neither the money nor the mobility for the legal task. She lives on Social Security and a small pension as a retired hospital nurse assistant and suffers back pain so severe she is homebound.
Wills on Wheels, a volunteer committee of paralegals and attorneys in the Denver area, came to Turner's rescue — literally. They drafted Turner's will, advance medical directives and a financial power of attorney. The documents set forth Turner's treatment choices if she cannot speak for herself and name someone to act on her behalf in financial matters.
They delivered the documents to Turner's home and witnessed the signing of the documents — all for free. Although they are not affiliated with each other, there are Wills on Wheels programs in other states. To see whether there's one near you, type "wills on wheels" followed by your state into an Internet search engine.

Have your say here:
The IIHF Message Board is for hockey-related topics only. All postings including insults, political statements, foul language, etc. will be deleted and those accounts blocked.
After reviewing the teams and the groups, my prediction is that the 3 group leaders will be (in order with highest points & goal diff.):
1. Sweden
2. Russia
3. Canada
and I believe Finland will edge out the other 2nd place teams (not because they are better, but because the US & CZ have tougher groups. So those 4 go directly to quarter-finals.
Out of the qualification round will come:
3. Slovakia
Sweden beat SUI
Russia beat Slovakia
Canada beat CZ
USA beat Finland
Sweden will beat USA to go to Gold Medal game.
Canada vs Russia. Obviously I want Canada to win. But after the collapse to the Canadians at 2010 Olympics, and this time being in Sochi, I'm thinking Russia just might do it. I believe the winner of this game will win the Gold Medal and the loser will not medal.
So I predict:
Gold - Russia or Canada
Silver - Sweden
Bronze - USA (after Russia vs. Canada, the loser will be so mentally drained that they will find it difficult to compete. While the US will be angry with losing to Sweden and primed for playing their best to win Bronze).
4th Place - Russia or Canada
Now that I have completed that, I'm thinking that if Canada can't win Gold then I would like to see the people of Russia win Gold Medal on home ice. The country would be so proud. And you just gotta love Ovechkin's toothless smile. Sometimes I think that guy plays like a Canadian. ;o)

Mark Webber is adamant he won't play second fiddle to Sebastian Vettel next season despite the German being a triple World Champion...
Mark Webber is adamant he won't play second fiddle to Sebastian Vettel next season despite the German being a triple World Champion.
Vettel clinched his third successive Drivers' Championship in the season finale in Brazil, beating Ferrari's Fernando Alonso by three points.
Webber, Vettel's team-mate at Red Bull, finished down in sixth place with 102 points less than the 25-year-old.
The duo will team up again next season with Webber insisting he won't play a supporting role for the reigning Champion.
"Obviously with Sebastian's form, he's clearly on the front foot," the 36-year-old told Reuters, "not only from within our team but he's won three World titles on the bounce now so all the drivers have got to try and topple him.
"I don't go there thinking I've got to be playing a team role as such. I'm there for myself, to get the best results possible and to do that I need to be part of the team.
"So, no, I'm not going there thinking in a supporting role at all."
Asked about where his own Championship quest went wrong, the Aussie said: "Ultimately we just weren't consistent enough compared to 2010 and 2011.
"Our qualifying pace this year was a very, very good step forward but (not) our Sunday performances.
"It wasn't strong enough towards the end but they're fine margins and before you know it, the odd non-finish here and there, and the points are not in your favour."

On January 10th, residents of Charleston, West Virginia awoke to find that their tap water was undrinkable and unusable.
An unprecedented chemical spill from a storage facility managed by Freedom Enterprises leaked up to 7,500 gallons of MCHM (4-Methylcyclohexanemethanol) – an industrial chemical used to separate coal from rock – into the Elk River, just under two miles from the area's water treatment plant.
This week, residents are striving to get back to normal as tap water has been declared safe again in most areas. But after-effects, from odor to discoloration present in drinking water, persist in many homes. In addition to dealing with these after-effects, residents are also instructed, by the CDC and West Virginia American Water authorities, to flush their lines and replace all water filters – including refrigerator water filters.
This type of event robs us of our peace of mind. While we at FridgeFilters.com may not be able to help our customers in the Charleston, West Virginia area fully regain this peace of mind, we do want to do our small part to help.
This week, we will be sending all of our customers in the Charleston, West Virginia area a free replacement from our Tier1 line of refrigerator water filters*. Tier1 refrigerator water filters are built to fit all major fridge brands and provide the same great tasting water, virtually free of stated contaminants. We are happy to be one of the exclusive distributors of this new line of filters.
If you live in West Virginia and have ordered a refrigerator water filter from us in the last three months, no action is required from you – your filter is already on the way.
We hope this helps to bring some normalcy back into your routine.
If you have friends or family in the Charleston, West Virginia area that have been impacted by the recent chemical spill, we encourage you to refer them to us. Provide them with the code 'Facebook10' to use at check-out, and we'd be happy to offer them 10% off on your behalf.
If you have any questions, please feel free to connect with our customer service department at 1-800-683-8353.
We invite you to like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter or +1 us on Google+.
*Important note: refrigerator water filters from Tier1, or from any brand, are not designed to reduce MCHM, primarily because not enough is known about this chemical. Replacing refrigerator water filters is a necessary reactive step after MCHM has been cleared from the water source.

En español l For years, Marcia Andrews visited the same internist in Washington, D.C. Then she turned 65, got her Medicare card and had to find a new doctor: Her internist was not accepting Medicare patients. Primary care doctors are in such demand now that they can choose not to accept Medicare, whose reimbursements to physicians are lower than private insurance rates.
"The doctor shortage is worse than most people think," says Steven Berk, M.D., dean of the School of Medicine at Texas Tech University. "The population is getting older, so there's a greater need for primary care physicians. At the same time, physicians are getting older, too, and they're retiring earlier," Berk says. And graying doctors — nearly half the nation's 830,000 physicians are over age 50 — are seeing fewer patients than they did four years ago, a 2012 Physicians Foundation survey reported.
Soon, this fraying primary care network will face another huge challenge: Under the Affordable Care Act, millions of formerly uninsured men and women will have access to health care.
"We need to absorb these 30 million people, and that's going to be a strain," says Russell Phillips, M.D., director of Harvard Medical School's new Center for Primary Care.
A fundamental change
The approach most favored by experts at Harvard and elsewhere is to reshape traditional primary care: from a stream of patients waiting to see one harried doctor to a more efficient team practice in which patients with routine problems are seen by nurse-practitioners and physician assistants — trained specialists with master's degrees. The team frees the doctor to spend more time with patients with more serious complaints.This change could be as fundamental as the one that took place when most family doctors stopped making Marcus Welby-like house calls.
The Affordable Care Act encourages such a sea change, with provisions that aim to shore up and expand the country's ailing primary care system while still reducing costs.
The ACA authorizes money to increase the primary care workforce by training more doctors, nurses, nurse-practitioners and physician assistants. It includes more graduate medical education training positions, with priorities for primary care and general surgery, and more money for scholarships and loans for all health professionals. The law expands the number of patients seen at community health centers in areas with too few doctors and increases the number of staffers who work in the centers. It also expands nurse-managed clinics at nursing schools where nurses in training see patients who live in the area.
Another key provision: a 10 percent bonus, through 2015, to primary care doctors who offer services to Medicare patients.
But in these times of shrinking federal budgets, it's unclear how much ACA primary care money will be available as Congress juggles competing priorities. Congress, for example, already has chopped about $6.25 billion from the ACA's new $15 billion Prevention and Public Health Fund, which pays for programs to reduce obesity, stop smoking and otherwise promote good health. In addition, federal support for training all types of physicians, including primary care doctors, is targeted for cuts by President Obama and Congress, Republicans and Democrats, says Christiane Mitchell, director of federal affairs for the Association of American Medical Colleges, who calls the proposed cuts "catastrophic."
A recent study by the Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council reports that, when compared with citizens of 16 other high-income democracies, including those of Western Europe, Japan and Canada, Americans not only die younger but have poorer overall health. The researchers traced U.S. health disadvantages to a number of causes, including the fact that Americans have "more limited access to primary care."
Where have all the doctors gone?
Today, the United States is short about 16,000 primary care doctors — the very doctors (family practitioners, internists and pediatricians) who offer the treatments and preventive screenings that save lives and head off expensive emergency room visits and hospitalizations.
Why the shortage? It starts with huge medical school debts and ends with a doctor who is often overworked and underpaid. While students may enter medical school wanting to practice primary care medicine, they graduate saddled with heavy debt — $250,000 is not unusual — which prompts them to switch to a more lucrative specialty. The starting salary for a primary care physician is $150,000 to $170,000; a radiologist or gastroenterologist can make two to three times that.
Only one in five graduating internal medicine residents plans to go into primary care medicine, the Journal of the American Medical Association reports.

|Hagafen Wine Clubs
Three Wine Clubs from Hagafen Cellars
What a lovely gift yourself or gift others suggestion- Join, Gift, Share, Enjoy!
All Wine Clubs include:
Club R.S, (residual sugar)
Club Hagafen Each
Club Prix... The Premier Club
About Hagafen Cellars:
Hagafen Cellars is located in the Napa Valley, in the heart of California's premier wine grape region. Owned and operated by Irit and Ernie Weir, the winery was founded in 1979, and the first commercially released vintage was harvested in 1980. In the ensuing years, they have grown from a small partnership producing wine with grapes from Winery Lake Vineyard, then owned by Rene DiRosa, to a well-established wine company whose wines are distributed throughout North America and overseas. Since 1980 Hagafen wines have been served on numerous occasions at the White House to visiting foreign dignitaries
Ernie's daily involvement in the two sides of wine production, grape growing and winemaking, ensures the superb quality of our wines. "Fine wine starts in the vineyard with careful vineyard management," says Weir. "I strive to take maximum advantage of the Napa Valley's natural geology and climate to produce the best wine varietals. I interfere as little as possible with the soil, creating a balance that minimizes the chemical and erosion impact by using modern farming techniques while maintaining the age-old wisdom of balance and the traditional values of conservation and land stewardship. Once harvest is completed, I undertake the second part of my job, winemaking. This presents an interesting challenge every time since each year the growing season and harvest are unique and different. I never seek to change what Nature has provided. My goal is to showcase the best that our land has produced."
Ernie invites KosherEye readers to We look forward to meeting you here in Napa at our winery and tasting room on the Silverado Trail. Family, Tradition, Excellence: Think Hagafen!

It was a truly magical day at your home, with Rob, all the children & family. Thank you for hosting such a wonderful time. God has blessed me by surrounding me with beauty all my life, in your Mom, in you and in all the wonderful children & grandchildren. I pray He will continue to enlarge my heart so I may take it all in. It is sometimes too wonderful for me, to see the beauty of my beloved wife blossom in our children and then be carried on in their children - on and on in the march of time. Cradled & nurtured by His mighty yet gentle Hand. And He has opened my eyes to see it and rejoice in the majesty of it all. His blessings are truly more than I can contain, pressed down, shaken together and overflowing. I am so thankful.

Test ID: G6PD
Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G-6-PD), Quantitative, Erythrocytes
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluation of individuals with Coombs-negative nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Hemolytic disease may be associated with deficiency of any 1 of 20 erythrocyte enzymes. The most commonly encountered is a deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD).
The G-6-PD locus is on the X chromosome, and thus G-6-PD deficiency is a sex-linked disorder. Affected males (hemizygotes) inherit the abnormal gene from their mothers who are almost always asymptomatic carriers (heterozygotes). More than 300 molecular variants of G-6-PD are known, and the clinical and laboratory features of G-6-PD deficiency vary accordingly. With some variants, there is chronic, life-long hemolysis, but more commonly, the condition is asymptomatic and only results in susceptibility to acute hemolytic episodes which may be triggered by some drugs, ingestion of fava beans, viral, or bacterial infections.
The major G-6-PD variants occur in specific ethnic groups. Thus, knowledge of the ethnic background of the patient is important. G-6-PD deficiency has very high frequency in Southeast Asians and is the most common cause of hemolytic disease of the newborn in Southeast Asian neonates.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
> or =12 months: 8.8-13.4 U/g Hb
Reference values have not been established for patients who are <12 months of age.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Abnormal values are usually 0% to 20% of normal mean.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
In African Americans with the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) A-variant, normal values may be measured for several weeks following hemolysis. This is not the case with other G-6-PD variants that predispose to hemolysis.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature
Beutler E: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. In Hematology. Fifth Edition. Edited by E Beutler, MA Lichtman, BS Coller, TJ Kipps. New York, McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1995, pp 564-586

The AMNH collection of amphibians and reptiles ranks among the world's five largest herpetological collections. The separately catalogued collections of amphibians and reptiles total more than 335,000 specimens, of which more than 13,000 have more than one type of preparation.
The scope of the Herpetology collection is global. Aside from the United States, areas especially well represented include Mexico, Panama, much of South America, Africa, Madagascar, Pakistan, China, New Guinea, Australia, and the Pacific Islands.
The collection covers a very broad taxonomic range. All living orders and families of the Amphibia and Reptilia are represented, as are about 80% of the genera. The collection contains over 6,900 species representing roughly 58% of the world's described herpetofauna. On average, 76 species names per year (range 20-171) have been added to the Herpetology files over the past 40 years, with approximately 2,970 species or 25% of the world's estimated 12,000 amphibians and reptiles having been added in a little over a quarter century.
The holdings of the Herpetology collection are computerized; however, inventorying the collection and proofing the database are ongoing processes.
The Herpetology collection may be thought of as an ever-growing library of the world's amphibian and reptile faunas. It is an irreplaceable international resource that deserves the best of care.

One hundred and sixty-three years ago today, Dolley Madison died at approximately 10:15 in the evening, "at peace with the world & it with her." According to James Madison Cutts, Dolley's nephew, America's first First Lady "expired without an effort & without apparent pain."1 Dolley was the last surviving member of the founding generation, living as a widow for thirteen years after the passing of James Madison.
On the services of this illustrious man it is unnecessary to dwell; for what American does not know the parts which James Madison acted in the public Councils of his Country? And what Virginian needs to be reminded of the unrivalled force of his tongue and his pen in defending her most cherished principles?1
The James Madison University field school has had a fantastic run at revealing the secrets of the quarters for field slaves just below Montpelier's Visitor Center. We have opened up close to 50 units and are slowly developing an idea of how this set of homes was laid out.
This year marks the bicentennial of the War of 1812, also known as "Mr. Madison's War." Two hundred years ago, this war tested our young nation. President Madison proved the United States could go to war without depriving citizens of their constitutional rights.
In the early nineteenth century, many fashionable men and women including Napoleon Bonaparte, Henry Clay, Queen Charlotte of England (wife of George III), and Dolley Madison dipped snuff. The nicotine stimulant made from ground tobacco leaves was typically stored in a small highly decorated box made of silver, tortoise shell, or other decorative material.
Looking for something to do this weekend? Montpelier has your ticket for family fun!
The Center for the Constitution at James Madison's Montpelier runs both the District of Columbia and Virginia We the People programs. Both the DC and Virginia teams competed at the recent 2012 We the People National Finals, which tests students on their knowledge of the Constitution.
The Archaeology team has begun its excavations at the quarters for field slaves, located just below the visitor center. We are searching for the remains of the homes for farm slaves who lived in this area from the late 1700s-1844. Back in 2002, when we were planning for the construction of the visitor center, we located a very well preserved farm complex dating back to the Madison era.
April 21-28, Montpelier will celebrate the Garden Club of Virginia's Historic Garden Week along with sister historic sites and landmarks across the commonwealth. The Orange County Tour, entitled "Mr. Madison's Neighborhood," includes stops at James Madison's Montpelier, Somerset Plantation, Mayhurst Inn, and Woodley.
In honor of the 74th anniversary of Battleship's victory at Aintree and the long legacy of the duPont family at Montpelier, a collection of additional notable duPont objects are now on display in the William duPont Gallery at the Montpelier Visitor Center.

Acer Revo One RL85_Pw5200U
The Acer Revo is a do-it-all media-friendly PC that can fit anywhere.
Intel Compute Stick
This inexpensive PC is an exciting experiment, but the tablet hardware can't quite keep up with Intel's vision of a mini-PC.
HP Pavilion 300-020 Mini
Smaller and less expensive than a Mac Mini, the HP Pavilion Mini focuses on big storage over fast performance.
Apple Mac Mini ( 2014)
While its sealed-case limitations will turn off power users, Apple's least expensive Mac delivers a solid OS X experience in a compact box with similar performance to the entry-level MacBook Air and iMac models.
HP Envy 23xt Beats Special Edition
This 23-inch all-in-one is built for entertainment, offering great speakers and a striking look. But the glossy, reflective display throws a wrench in the works.
Alienware Alpha DKCWA03
The bold Alienware Alpha makes good on many parts of its promise to meld the gaming PC and living room game console, but there are still too many rough edges to make this a true console killer.
Apple iMac ( 27inch, 2014)
Apple skips 4K and goes directly to what the company calls a 5K display in this expensive, extravagant all-in-one iMac desktop that will appeal to photo and video professionals -- or anyone else looking for the best possible screen resolution.
Origin PC Millennium ( 2014)
This expensive configuration of the Origin PC Millennium includes Intel's new Haswell-E CPU and three Nvidia GTX 980 GPUs for eye-opening 4K gaming performance, if you can foot the bill.
Acer Aspire AU5-620-UB10
The Acer Aspire AU5-620 is a great entertainment PC, pairing an attractive display and strong media-streaming performance with a wallet-friendly price.
Apple iMac ( 21.5-inch, 500GB)
While it includes some performance and graphics concessions on the lowest priced model, the 21.5-inch iMac brings Apple's iconic design and top-notch bundled accessories and software to a wider audience.

Comments about NIKE Men's Power 9 Woven Tennis Shorts:
I am wearing it in USTA league matches. It fits perfectly on me, breathable and bright in color that can match any color shirts. The only concern is too thin, when heavily sweating, it becomes a see-through so better wearing light color under.
